After a delightful meal, Alvin and the others left the restaurant
and walked along the road to the temple.
<Oeste> is a very bright city even after dark, thanks to the
many magical tools called outdoor lights that illuminate the outside. Of course,
there are lights in other cities as well, but they are only installed on the
main streets and not on the rest of the streets.
"It's
very bright even though it's night. Also, there are so many people"
"It's
true. I guess people haven't left yet"
There seemed to be more people leaving than going to the residential
area. Also the temple is located on the border between the residential area and the
commercial district, so it is natural to feel that way when there are many
people walking from the opposite direction.
"After
all, a lot of people go out after dinner. There are all kinds of nightlife,
from bars to brothels. And then there's the largest casino in the country"
"Casino,
huh? I've never been to one"
"I don't
think you should go there, Al-kun!"
Alvin made a face of interest, but gave up after Milis' rejection.
"Have
you ever been there, Shinji?"
"I
haven't either. ......Alvin?"
When they were walking along and talking, Alvin suddenly stopped.
Shinji had a bad feeling when he saw Alvin using his strengthening magic while
looking around, so he tried to talk to him, but he was too late.
"There
is scream! Over here!"
"Alvin!"
"Al-kun?!"
"Al!"
Alvin runs off. He ran into a dark alley without hesitation. He was
followed hurriedly by Renka, then Shinji and Milis.
(Please spare
me from the aristocrats thing!)
Alvin's personality made him realize that there was no way he was
going to abandon them. Shinji hoped that they were headed for a commoner and
not a troublesome noble.
As he ran down the alleyway, he heard Alvin's shout.
"What
the hell are you doing? Get your hands off that girl!"
(We're in
troubleeeeee!)
Shinji frowned.
"Milis,
I'll go upstairs and support Alvin and the others"
"Okay!"
Shinji asked Milis, who was running with him, and jumped.
He kicked the wall of a building in a narrow alleyway and leapt
upwards, alternating between the two walls and climbing to the roof. With the
physical abilities of an upper rank adventurer using strengthening magic, it
was easy for him to kick the walls and climb up to the roof.
Seeing there was no one on the roof except Shinji, he relieved, so he hurried to them.
As Shinji looked up from the roof, he saw men confronting Alvin,
Renka and Milis. One of the men is holding a girl hostage with a dagger on her
throat.
It seems a number of men had collapsed around Alvin, who did not draw his
weapon because they had beaten down by his fists.
"D,
don't move. If you get too close, she's dead!"
"You
too, if you want to live, surrender!"
Renka is holding her bow and making the men hesitate to flee. The
situation was completely stalemated.
The men were in a hurry, but Alvin and the others were in no hurry.
Shinji didn't expect the men having any backup, but Alvin and the
others have him who haven't shown up yet.
(Ivy)
Shinji, who had positioned himself above the men's heads, dropped a
number of plant seeds.
The ivy, which grows rapidly as it falls, restrains the men holding
the hostages and those around them from moving.
In particular, the arm that holds the knife and the knife itself are
tightly bound, with no gaps between them to ensure that nothing happens to
them.
"What
the hell is this?!"
"Now!"
"Let's
go!"
Alvin and Renka jumped on the men who were unable to react to the
sudden event. It only took a moment for them to knock down the men who were
unable to move.
In the meantime, Shinji was on the lookout, but the men didn't seem
have a backup and no reinforcements appeared. After tying up all the men with
ivy, Shinji jumped off the roof and joined Alvin and the others.
"Shinji,
nice work. You're the best!"
"Huh....
How did you do it? I didn't notice it at all"
Shinji's expression is wry as he lightly clenches his fist against
Alvin's fist with a nice smile.
He glanced sideways at the girl who had been freed.
The girl with the long blonde hair had a very beautiful face.
The simple dress seemed to be of good quality, and the moonlight
illuminated her skin without a trace of dirt. From her unblemished hands, one
could guess that she was not involved in any kind of work.
The girl being protected by Milis was teary-eyed, but she showed an
elegance that could not be hidden.
(It seems
that she is a noble who sneaks around......)
Alvin, who was talking to Shinji, approached the protected girl.
"Are you
okay?"
"Y,
yes....... Thank you......"
The girl, who was shaking, thanked Alvin. And when her eyes met
him, a blush came to her cheeks.
"I'm
glad I could help. Are your home close?"
"It's
still a bit far away. ......Ano, I'd really like to thank you, so could you
come with me to my house?"
The girl smiled prettily as she stared at Alvin.
It was smile that would have made any normal man blush, but it had
no effect on Alvin.
"You
don't have to thank me. I'll take you home. Is that okay with you?"
Shinji and the others affirmed Alvin's question. The humble way he
refrained from thanking her increased the girl's passion for Alvin.
(Wonderful......♡)
For the girl, she felt that this encounter was destiny.
An encounter with a handsome adventurer who saved her from a
dangerous situation. It was like something out of a story, and the dangerous
and scary moments had already left her mind.
It was completely love at first sight.
Shinji was able to read the girl's state of mind.
Not only Shinji, but also Milis and Renka could see it. No matter
how they looked at her, this girl had the face of a maiden in love.
(((This is
going to be troublesome)))
This was the moment when the three of them agreed.
"This
way, then. Please take me home"
"Okay"
The girl and Alvin started walking side by side. Shinji and the
other three followed behind them. The men captured by them were put to sleep
with sleeping powder and left behind. They were going to call the military
police later.
The girl, who was walking side by side, seemed to have regained her
energy and was talking to Alvin, and Alvin went along with her.
Milis looked at Alvin and the girl with an amused expression.
At the end of the residential area, they came to a street lined with
luxurious houses. Finally, Alvin, Milis and Renka realized that the girl might
be a noble.
Then the girl stopped in front of a particularly large mansion.
"Here it
is"
"Ojou-sama!?
Why are you out here!?"
"Call
the head of the family!!"
The gatekeeper shouted with a look of deep surprise on his face.
Naturally, the mansion became noisy. Butlers and maids came running out of the
mansion one after another.
The gate opened and the girl entered the mansion.
"I'm
sorry for sneaking out. These people helped me. Would you please prepare to
welcome them?"
"I
understand...... But we need to get to the head of the family first"
"I know,
I know. I'm going to visit my father"
The girl replied with a scowl at the reluctant butler.
As she was about to walk back to the villa, she stopped and looked
back at Alvin and the others.
"I'm
sorry for the delay. My name is Christina Beltz. I'm the daughter of the Beltz
family. It's nice to meet you, adventurer"
Christina plucked the hem of her dress and bowed gracefully.
(Of all
people, the Beltz are related to the......4 family)
Shinji had a faraway look in his eyes.
Lead by the maid, <Running Wolves> entered the house.
_______________________
- Alvin is a protagonist in here.
- It was a very typical encounter.
- If it was Shinji-kun, he wouldn't have gone through with it. Or even if he helps her, he'll run away without showing his face. Because he doesn't want to have anything to do with noble!
- It seems the young lady has fallen in love with Alvin at first sight.
