Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

A large inn that will be used by Knights guests, in the 'Commercial District'.

The children who were in Lily and George's orphanage were supposed to stay here until they could find a destination.

The children are currently playing sports in the middle of a training square in the Inn.

…………

Sitting in the corner of the square, Leo looked at the shaky children with a dark expression.

The look on Killier's face I saw as she left burned behind Leo's brain and couldn't leave.

Her expression calling her own name was a spicy look, like she was pushing something to kill her.

What Killier and Marx do is get married politically.

Churches and knights, the aim would be to make each other's status firm.

We know from the beginning that Killier doesn't want that political marriage, etc.

"... my, for"

I don't want that.

"... if so, what am I for"

How can I make Killier happy?

I wonder what I should do.

Leo bit his teeth at himself for not being able to step out.

"What's the matter, brother of the knight?

"You're not well today, are you?

If I noticed, several children were peeking at Leo with a worrying look on their face.

Worried about the children who suddenly had to leave the orphanage, Leo often goes to this inn.

Leo laughed bitterly so the kids wouldn't see what he was going to do when he was worried about him like that.

"... I'm fine. It's nothing."

To the children peeping in, Leo replied with a smile.

Shake your head gently and switch your thoughts.

Though I'm not at work right now, I can't be shy.

Marx stabbed me with a nail, but I don't have the option to stop halfway, etc.

Beyond becoming a cathedral knight, I have to protect people.

Of course, that includes children.

At least until they can find a place, we need to cover it well.

"... hmm?

At that time, he felt a slight fluctuation of magic from nearby, and Leo turned his gaze to you.

One girl is putting a small flame out of her palm.

Flamethrower?

Leo stood up and spoke to the girl who exercised sorcery.

The girl nods, chanting again and releasing a "flame bullet" onto the wall.

"Wow, Michelle. When I was your age, I couldn't use magic properly."

Her name is Michelle.

It's the girl who escaped from that orphanage and told the Cathedral Knight about Lily and the others' evil deeds.

I've seen him face to face several times when he was investigating the orphanage on the orders of the previous captain, but now Michelle is so calm that she looks different then.

"You've been practicing magic ever since you came to this inn."

"Yes, I have to be strong."

With a strong willed look, Michelle grabbed a small fist.

"... I just don't want to be protected anymore"

"Right."

Nodding, Leo unleashed a "flamethrower" against the wall.

Seeing that big chunk of flame, Michelle is small and breathtaking.

"Your" flamethrower "is still weak. Sometimes I haven't been able to adjust the magic I use, but my image of magic is vague."

"Against witchcraft, images......?

"Oh. Not without a clear image of what sorcery I use. Because it's going to go away."

"... Yes"

Michelle meditates her eyes and exhales small.

Then he chanted slowly and unleashed a "flame bullet".

The flames emitted are of such magnitude that they cannot be compared to what they have been before.

"You did it."

"Yeah......!

Imagine, there are not many people who can do that right away.

Having absorbed so much advice, Michelle probably has a gift for witchcraft.

It would be a good user, Leo said, loosening his cheeks.

"... is"

And the laugh quickly turned into self-derision.

(Clear image, or)

I have no right to advise myself now, greatly.

I came here today because it means a lot to escape.

(You're a pitiful man, I am)

Then, after seeing how the child was for a while, Leo left Inn behind.

◆

The sun sets and the children enter the inn from the training ground.

Then we have dinner, take a bath, and head back to our own room.

Michelle went back to her room to make sure the kids were completely asleep.

"Everyone seems tired and asleep."

"Copy that. Good day, Michelle."

"Mmm."

Sitting in a chair, Michelle glances at the book.

It was placed in an inn, a magic book.

It's an intermediate book, but Michelle chews its contents off herself and notes the main points on unnecessary paper.

Leo's advice is also well summarised.

"You're enthusiastic, Michelle. Nantka, do you want to be able to use magic?

"... mindset magic"

"Yeah, yeah, that's it."

"... because the magic I've been using is what I admire"

"Heh..."

To reach mental magic, you have to have as many images as you can shape.

I have an image.

But Michelle still lacked the skill to be able to put it in a clear form.

"... because one day I'll look like you too"

In my mouth, right after I whined so small.

……

Abyss of vision, something felt glowing out the window.

Check and see, is it only the night darkness outside?

"What's wrong?

"... nothing"

Refreshing her mind, Michelle continued to study magic.

◆

At my feet, three men have fallen unconscious.

Suspicious people dressed in black and hidden their swords at night.

These guys were trying to sneak into the orphanage in the dark at night.

He slapped me and Elfi there and took me to an unpopular back alley.

"Mm... gu"

…………

The men with their hands and feet tied are rolling to the ground with a sober look.

It drains your strength and magic.

Since one incident at that orphanage, I've advised Michelle and Sheena not to go outside the inn.

This is the home of the Cathedral Knights. If you accidentally walked outside, you could have been taken away by Marx's hands.

I guess that Michelle and the others won't be out forever but they cut the paralysis and took them directly from this inn.

"You guys were ordered by Marx to try to attack Michelle and the others. No doubt about it, huh?

"Yes...!

The men who kept their mouths shut at first, but now they answer honestly.

Much lighter people.

I just heard the bones on my fingers, one fold at a time.

These men apparently had orders from Marx to grab Michelle and Sheena.

After grabbing, with the word 'do as you please'.

Seems like these guys did the kidnapping that's going on in the city in a row.

He was the target of a kidnapping, like a man who would stand in Marx's way or a subhuman in the Holy Capital.

After we grabbed him, he took him to the orphanage or to Marx, or we did whatever we wanted (...) ourselves.

You were right to keep an eye on him.

I knew I was coming to finish off Michelle and the others.

There's no way Marx would let his own witnesses go free.

"Well."

Force one of them to wake up in the falling and put his hand on its head.

The man is turning his face bright blue wondering what he will be doing.

"Are we going to do arr (...) again?

"Oh, that's why you drained your strength and magic."

Peeping into a man's eyes, he clearly pictures what carves into this guy's head, and magically sends it into his brain.

A man who is depleting his magic cannot resist (resist) the magic that flows into his head.

"It's a tricky magic trick to use without draining magic."

Brainwashing magic that imitates Olivia, but the conditions are troublesome inside.

Successful brainwashing requires the opponent to be weakened beyond resistance (resist).

Because if they resist at all, brainwashing will fail.

And it takes time to tap what you brainwash into the other person's brain.

I guess you can shorten it with some kind of magic grant (magic item), but Elfi's right, it's a totally tricky magic trick.

Eventually enough magic was poured in,

"-" Magic Mastery (Phase Order) ""

The chant was performed and the brainwashing magic was completed.

Do this procedure to the other two as well.

The three are brainwashed and staring into the void with a flashing look.

Bottom ready.

Now, Michelle and the others won't be attacked for at least a few hours.

"Use these guys. We'll settle this by tonight."

"Okay. But, Io, can we stop by before we go?

"Stop by?"

That's unusual.

I can't believe Elfi said that.

"Something is a little irritating. I can't stand it, just hang out a little bit."

…… Okay. "

Then he 'stopped by' with Elfi, then headed to Marx's mansion.
