Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

Episode 424: Tower and College, Kidnapper

There are signs that someone is approaching.

In this situation, I don't know what the hell I'd be treated like if I walked into a room.

That's why that footsteps stopped in front of my room, and when I knocked on the door, my voice mixed with a little danger.

"... who?

But that's what you asked me. The response that came back to me was such a relief to my nervousness.

In other words, it was a response from a good person.

"... it's me. It's Augley. It's a little late at night, but I need to talk to you. Will you let me in the room as soon as you can? I don't care if you run into someone."

I was relieved to find out who.

However, the content of the response is… something is not right.

Though this is the country inn and the next day, if you do something a little strange, you shouldn't be complaining about it as much as you walked around the hallway in the middle of the night, even though it can be seen with strange eyes from the whole villagers.

And yet Augley...

Well, fine.

I'll open the door...... needless to say I just need a little advice before I do.

"Okay, but you're not surprised to see anything in the room, are you? Just in case, I'm innocent."

"... there's nothing I doubt about you. However, I will return that word from you. I'm innocent again."

I assumed that there was something going on between us just because of that exchange.

And what could that be attributed to?

I'm relieved about that... but I think it sounds like a quick conversation.

"If that's the case, I can open it now"

That's what I said, I opened the door.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"I see. I guess I can't help but be afraid when I'm suspected of a lot of things."

Augley nods as convinced when she sees an object in my room, among which is rolled near the bed.

"... you too. Why are you wrapping it around?

I also saw the object Augley was in charge of, and I said so.

Technically, it would be tighter than a scroll, but that would be the end of the story.

Augley is a gentleman, not normally tied with rope, but around doing it with cloth covered and untouched.

No, it wouldn't be a gentleman or anything if this was just a kidnapping, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen to him only.

"You wouldn't have to tell me...? This girl attacked me. As far as I can tell, it looks similar."

Augley is what's rolling at my feet...... I mean, that's what I said when I saw a woman in underwear.

Of course, but that's not Lorraine... if it's Lorraine, it's going to be another problem, but leave that alone.

The woman was one of the women Augley had now dropped off in bed, Felicie, drinking in a liquor store.

If such a person were to say why he was taking off his clothes and rolling in my room, it was because he suddenly came in the middle of the night and started saying that he wanted to talk about something, so I let him in for now.

Like Felicie, I thought there might be something familiar with the Fei Long, or something else I could ask about Lake Petrama, but I didn't have time to ask that, I took off my clothes myself and came up, and at the end of the day, the knife came out.

The unfortunate thing about this woman would be that trying to pierce her weapon in a normal way doesn't really work against me.

Every day, with the differentiation we practice, we differentiated, emptied, restrained, passed out and rolled the part that the woman was trying to stab.

Stabbing him doesn't kill him, he can heal normally in appearance, but he still knows that damage accumulates when he sees the end of a vampire freshly available for differentiation due to malt labyrinth disturbances.

Probably an amateur wielding knife, I wasn't intentionally stabbed and motivated.

So, I rolled the woman, tied her up with a rope, and then I was worried about what to do with this, and Augley came.

When I gave Augley a full explanation for what I said, he gave me a similar explanation this time.

Then the two of us looked each other in the eye, and I knew that was what this was all about, even without saying that we could reach an agreement.

I just don't give a shit about Sai Lane's name.

Because I don't know where they're asking me.

I would have talked to Lorraine after putting up a silent junction, but she's not here.

Yes, yes...

"This is how me and Augley got attacked, which means Lorraine could be in the same situation?

When I say that, Augley snorts.

"The attack on me and Lent must have meant we were after the party. It would be natural to think so."

"You should go check it out."

"Right. It's just, what about these two?

We conceived each other, looking at two tied women.

It wouldn't be a good idea to leave it here, but I don't think it's a good idea for boulders to take charge of it.

But even so, in the end, I don't have a choice to say I'm leaving you alone.

If these two are Seylan and his people, they will run away, and if they don't, they can be killed by mouth seals.

Either way, it was obvious I couldn't keep my eyes open.

"... let's take him. As long as one of them is in charge of the two and the other walks ahead and confirms people, it will be fine. What if... I just have to be honest."

In other words, it is a story if you run into the pavilion owner or other guests of the inn.

Augley to this,

"Can you believe it?

That being said, there is no denying that lying can be a pain in the ass later.

"I don't know, but I can't help it. Let's hope we don't find it."

That's what I had to answer.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Okay, that's good. Come."

In the hallway of the inn, at that corner, I checked the safety of the passage ahead, and then I asked Augley to say so at the rear.

Needless to say, Augley has a pretty good eye for the night.

I understood my call without a problem, even if I was a long way away, and I came this way.

I went further and repeated the same thing in the other corner.
