68 – It’s dangerous if it’s just the two of us

While John led the knights to search the lodgings, Siron held Lucia’s hand and set out to find a place where there were no people.

Of course, the place he was looking for was not a rare crime zone like a back alley.

Because the subjugation festival is one of the biggest festivals on the continent, many influential people from neighboring lords and guilds visit it.

Shiron thought there would be a quiet and pleasant space just for them.

After a while, Shiron was able to achieve the desired goal in an unexpected place. After wandering around the train station, the final destination is the 6th floor of the train station.

It was an observatory with a wide view of the meadow through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“…I feel better now.”

Shiron took several deep breaths as if vomiting.

Before and after being possessed, Shiron hated complicated places.

What’s more, the subjects of the confusion are large, muscular men… In a way, it’s not strange that I’m in a semi-panic state.

‘Having overly developed senses is not necessarily a good thing.’

Siron sipped cold water with the open scenery in the background.

His useless sense of smell made him feel dizzy and nauseous. The intimidation of the men wandering along the road made my mind more tired than expected.

‘Who knew I would experience such a terrible experience?’

‘Reincarnation Sword God’, which I played in my previous life, was definitely a game with a lot of strong women. So, I thought it wouldn’t be much different now, 10 years ago.

‘…I’m glad I have Lucia.’

Shiron stared at the girl sitting next to her to get rid of her troubled mind.

“…What you looking at?”

Lucia pulled her body back a little at the sudden glance.

“just. I want to be glad I have you.”

“…are you sick? Why are you so creepy?”

Lucia rubbed her forearm briskly.

Regardless, Shiron smiled and did not take his eyes off Lucia.

“The only thing that gives me goose bumps is the guys walking around outside.”

“…”

The face of Shiron, who was muttering weakly, looked a little pale.

Has Siron ever had a hard time like this? Thinking about that, Lucia’s heart weakened. The conversation, which would normally have lasted a few more words, was cut off.

Unable to argue further here, Lucia quietly stood up.

Lucia left Siron, who was lying down on a chair due to his pounding head, touring the inside of the station.

Promotional poster attached to the sea of pillars. A tastefully packaged souvenir. Old-fashioned snacks that only old people like.

[Caution for lost children: Do not leave the child alone.]

Meanwhile, an incongruous warning notice caught my eye, but my interest was immediately lost.

There would be no reason for a child to come to such a sweaty festival, and there would be no reason for Lucia to get lost.

“I guess the name festival is just a facade.”

I muttered as I looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass that coolly reflected the scenery. A band of unknown origin played unknown instruments, and large figures in armor were gathered together in a temporary building made of wood or tents.

On the other hand, the observatory where she was was a rather quiet place.

There were comfy sofas facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and snacks you could take at any time, but not many people enjoyed them.

A middle-aged man with a stylishly trimmed mustache,

A man wearing all white heavy armor.

And a little while ago, there was a female knight that John pointed to.

Excluding Siron and Lucia, there were only three people, but they were all looking at Lucia.

“…”

‘What are you guys?’

Lucia didn’t show it and fell from the window.

And then I approached Siron.

Lucia received their gaze as if protecting Siron from them.

The subtle glances that continued to be sent were not particularly hostile, but Lucia felt that the gaze scanning this direction was annoying.

‘Is this what Knight John said?’

Before coming here, Yohan said that if you look down on him, there will be a fight.

Since she had rarely been looked down upon by others throughout her life, Lucia reflexively sent signals that she was displeased with them.

“Tsk.”

A clicking sound came from his delicate facial features.

Then, those three people changed their gaze more openly, as if they were interested.

‘Ah… I was a child now.’

It was a disaster. Lucia rubbed her eyelids. Now, he is not his previous self, but just a kid. A feeling of regret crossed my mind, making me shiver like a child.

“…”

Jeopuk- Jeopuk-

And, among them, the female knight moved. As if she was aware of the gazes of the other two, she was the first of the three to step forward and walk towards where Lucia was.

The female knight who had arrived a short distance away took off her helmet as if to reassure the nervous Lucia.

“Kid, who are you here with? “Do you have a guardian?”

“…”

When she took off her helmet, the face that appeared was that of a neat and beautiful woman.

The brunette smiled at Lucia, who kept her guard up and kept her mouth shut.

“It’s dangerous for children to be left alone without a guardian. “A witch might appear and eat me?”

“who are you?”

Lucia said, softening her temper a little. Unless the other person appears hostile, it is best to refrain from using harsh words. I didn’t have the skills to just swear like I did in my previous life.

The female knight blinked at Lucia, who was very wary, and smiled.

“My introduction was late. My name is Ailee Suarez. “I am the leader of the Unicorn mercenary group.”

“…mercenary?”

Was she a mercenary, not a female knight?

Lucia looked suspiciously at the woman who introduced herself as Ailee.

“Yeah, don’t you know? “It’s a place made up of only women.”

“…I’m not interested in that. We already have a group. He’ll be here soon. Hey, wake up.”

Lucia shook Siron’s shoulder to wake him up. When I got closer, I saw that Siron had fallen asleep.

“what…”

Chiron raised his head and looked at Lucia.

His sleepiness hadn’t gone away yet, and his eyelids weren’t even half open.

“wake up. What if I sleep here?”

“You fell asleep?”

Chiron jumped up from the sofa. He was very embarrassed, as if he hadn’t even noticed that he was asleep.

“…Do you have any business with us?”

Then, Shiron gave Ailee a suspicious look.

Ailee smiled at the reaction not so different from that of the red-haired girl.

“No, there is nothing to see. I didn’t…”

After saying that, Ailee glanced around.

Soon there were only three people left at the observatory, including her.

A man in white armor and a middle-aged man with a mustache left the observation deck.

“Because someone is trying to do something strange to you. “I tried to protect you for a little bit, but instead, I bought my guard up.”

“…A weird thing?”

“Okay, didn’t you suddenly feel drowsy? “Like just now.”

Ailee looked at Shiron and said.

Her gaze spoke as if Siron had been the subject of a strange trick.

“Should I say thank you for saving me…?”

Siron spoke to her with a lukewarm smile.

He looked at the picture engraved on Ailee’s pauldron.

horse with horns. It was the first time I had ever seen it, which did not exist in the game.

From noble mtl dot com

Ailee smiled and waved her hand.

“it’s okay. It’s not like I’m trying to say thank you. Rather, it is also for me.”

“What did you do for you?”

Lucia took a step closer to Ailee and asked a question.

Was it because he behaved rudely to her friend? For some reason, Lucia felt uncomfortable.

“Yes, I have an oath on my heart.”

“You don’t have to say any more. I will do my best to receive your favor.”

Siron bowed his head to her and grabbed Lucia’s arm. At that moment, I saw a group of knights including John through the window.

“Poetry, poetry?! “Why are you doing this?”

“there is.”

Lucia hesitated and followed Siron’s lead.

Ailee, who saw the two children quickly leaving the spot, stood for a long time at the empty observation deck.

*

Siron quickly joined the group and entered the lodgings that Johan had left.

The place we arrived at was a portable tent where nomads lived. John leased ten traditional houses, including those belonging to the knights, that were mainly used by the natives of the Arwen Plateau.

“Knight John, I have something to tell you.”

Siron lit a fire pit in the middle and invited John and Lucia there.

“I encountered a witch at the observatory a little while ago.”

“witch?”

Lucia opened her eyes wide and leaned towards Siron.

“Witches wear armor? “Not a cone hat or a robe?”

“There is no law prohibiting witches from wearing armor and swords.”

“Could you tell me why you thought she was a witch?”

John stroked his beard with a serious expression.

“She said she had an oath on her heart. As far as I know, swearing on the heart is not magic. Rather, it is closer to a witchcraft practiced by evil people.”

“…I know what you mean.”

“then.”

Lucia opened her mouth to Siron.

“They said she was the leader of a mercenary group. “Why did you lie like that?”

“I don’t know. “It could be taking over the position of someone who is already dead, or it could be forming a mercenary group for a little fun.”

Siron stopped talking and looked at the bonfire for a moment.

“But one thing is certain. “You and I talked to a witch.”

“…”

“You seem to have accumulated penalty points.”
