I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 266 Knight’s Choice
Megumi Ando put the edamame in her hand back into the basket, raised her hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on her forehead, and said in a rough voice, "Evil dragon? I didn't see it! What are you here for?"

Shirakawa Kazuya smiled slightly and patted the giant sword behind him, "I'm here to help you destroy the evil dragon and rescue the princess!"

Megumi Ando stood up with a basket full of pods, "Then are you doing it for our village or to save the princess?"

Shirakawa Kazuya seemed to be stunned by the question, and was stunned for two seconds before replying, "There is no conflict between the two. I am a knight, and my task is to protect the princess. But it is also because I am a knight , I also don’t want to see the dragon destroy your village.”

Village woman Ando Megumi folded up the pony on the ground and put it into a bamboo basket. She looked at the knight's bright armor and mighty sword and thought for a moment before saying, "You keep walking forward along this gravel road. There is a small garden at the end, and people there might know where the dragon is."

After finishing speaking, the village woman staggered away without waiting for the knight to reply.

The knight looked at the village woman's leaving back, saluted solemnly, and then set off along the dusty gravel road under his feet.After he walked off the stage with the giant sword on his back, the red curtain slowly closed and the stage lights dimmed again.

In the darkness, thumping footsteps and whispered conversations came from the stage. It was the props team members who were removing props and placing new items. Yuna Taniguchi was sitting in the front row and could hear the sound of moving things on the stage. There was a slight movement and a smile on her face, and she began to look forward to the plot that followed.

After about ten seconds, the lights on the stage came back on, and the red curtain slowly opened. The scene was no longer the entrance to the village. On the big screen behind it was a beautiful garden, with several pots of orchids and roses on the stage. and roses, Mizuno Noh was sitting in the middle, wearing a pink dress, lowering his head and whispering to a flower in his hand.

The knight came on stage from the side of the stage. He walked gently into the fairy's back garden, sighing at the beauty of nature.

"Mr. Knight, why are you here?" The pink fairy felt the uninvited guest in the garden. After placing the flowers in her hands, she looked up at the knight who was acting a little reckless.

The knight put down the flowers in his hand and saluted the woman in front of him, "What do you call this lady?"

"I don't have a name. Everyone calls me Pink Fairy. You can also call me that." Pink Fairy didn't look at him when she spoke, but lowered her head to take care of the flowers and plants.

"Please forgive my intrusion. I'm here to ask, do you know where the evil dragon lives?" Although the knight was desperate to rescue the princess, he was not slow. He could feel the alienation of the person in front of him, and his tone Also polite up.

"Before that, please introduce yourself. Why are you here looking for me?" The Pink Fairy did not answer his question, but asked a new question.

"I am a knight of the kingdom, and my duty is to protect the princess. But today, the evil dragon kidnapped the princess, so I followed the clues and came here. I hope you can tell me where the evil dragon lives." The knight said about his duty. He looked very solemn at that time, but his face darkened when he mentioned that the princess was taken away.

The Pink Fairy nodded, "So that's it, I understand. Although I don't know where the evil dragon lives, I know someone who has some relationship with the evil dragon. She should know the clues you want to know. "

The knight became excited, "Is it true? Please tell me!"

"Did you see a black forest on your way here?"

"Yes, I saw it. The path is full of thorns and it looks very difficult to walk."

"The person you want to find is there. If you really have the courage, then go ahead. But I want to tell you, even if you really see the other person, you will be hurt by walking through the thorns. If you are injured, you will probably be buried in the dragon's residence." The pink fairy said with a touch of worry, she did not want to see the young knight die in the hands of the dragon.The knight didn't seem to hear what the pink fairy said behind him. He just silently performed a knight's salute and then left here.

"Hey."

The stage went dark, and a faint sigh echoed through the auditorium.

Yuna Taniguchi touched her chin, and her interest in this drama became more intense. What will the knight encounter in the black forest?Could the fairy be in league with the dragon?Or is that village woman actually a bad person?Have you been dissatisfied with the kingdom for a long time?
The stage lights came back on, and the thick red curtain slowly opened. This time, the stage looked a bit eerie. Pictures of a black forest were displayed on the big screen behind it, and crows fluttered out of the trees, scarlet. Colorful eyes always make people a little uneasy.

"Does the friend that the pink fairy talked about really live in a place like this? Something doesn't feel right." This scene begins with the knight talking to himself.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The crow's voice suddenly sounded, and a woman in a black skirt came out from behind the big tree.

"Hello, may I ask you." Before the knight could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Black Fairy.

"So, traveler, please listen to the question: A noble and a villager were attacked by an evil dragon at the same time. Now that you are at a fork in the road of fate, what choice will you make?" The Black Fairy smiled. Very cold.

The knight was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such a question waiting for him here. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted again by the Black Fairy.

"Mr. Knight, please allow me to give you a little reminder. You only have one chance to answer. If you answer wrongly, I will disappear here, and you can only get lost in this dark forest like a headless fly. middle."

The knight took two steps back and slowly moved his palm closer to the giant sword behind his back. But before he could move, he was pecked by a crow from behind. He retracted his arm in pain and found that there was already a black mark on it.

"Mr. Knight, please give your answer in the last five seconds." The Black Fairy did not give him a chance to think about it, but directly issued an ultimatum.

The picture on the screen behind changed, and Kinoshita Shinkei inserted the video just right.

Crows appeared one by one, three, five, ten. In just a few seconds, hundreds of black crows gathered here, large and small, hanging on the branches.All pairs of scarlet eyes looked at the knight.

Some timid students in the audience were frightened by such a scene and screamed. Then there was a low noise, which gradually spread to the entire audience.

At some point, the audience has been immersed in the knight's journey, and now they need to wait for the knight to give an answer.

"I choose" the knight looked at the Black Fairy and said with difficulty.
