Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! - Chapter 149

Natural course of events 4

Dragging the remnants, we somehow managed to reach the exit.
Well, it looks like a complete dead end, but as the path had no branches, I guess there’s some trick to it.
Allen-kun, who’s in the front, is fiddling with the wall.

Rattle rattle

When I thought I heard a small noise, I saw light.
I don’t know what the mechanism is, but it seems to be simpler than expected.
It resembles the exit from the pa.s.sage leading from Leon-sama’s room in the castle.

“Lillinsama, it looks like we can get out with this. Please watch your feet as there’s a little step on the way.”

Confirming with my feet, there indeed is a little step.
As expected, Allen-kun is an attentive man.
By the way, obviously the remnants weren’t treated gently, they pa.s.sed the step with an unpleasant sound.
Although they fainted, they’ll be in quite a pain later.

Finally we got out.
Looking around, we don’t seem to be far from castle.
Even so, the hidden pa.s.sage is made to be unnoticeable when the door is closed.
How did these people discover it?
No matter how I think of it, it should be impossible for them
Well, let’s ask the knights to investigate it later.

“Lillinsama, what should we do now? We’ll stand out if we drag them, right?”

“Right, but we can’t leave them alone That’s right, I’ll look after them, so could you go to the castle and inform Alek-sama?”

If I went to the castle, going through the trouble of using the hidden pa.s.sage would be rendered meaningless.
However Allen-kun, who I thought would accept immediately, is hesitant.

“C, certainly I think that would be fastest However, even if they’re unconscious, to leave such people with Lillinsama”

Allen-kun is kind.
Even though I’m stronger than normal men, he treats me like a normal woman.
But, now is not a time to say such a thing.

“Allen, now is not the time to care about something like that. Look, I won’t be defeated by such people, so please go.”

Even so, Allen-kun was quite unwilling, while I was trying to push him out, I was called out.

“Why, are you, at such, a place?”

This voice, this manner of speaking.

“Sasuke-san!”
“Sasuke?”

Looking in the direction of the voice, it’s indeed Sasuke-san.
He alternately watched us and the bound remnants, then sighed.
No, no, isn’t that reaction strange?

“Why No, no. Looks troublesome.”

He said it with a face as if he finds it troublesome from the bottom of his heart.
But, I’m lucky to have an opportunity.

“Hey, Sasuke-san, I have a request, could you go the castle and call for Alek-sama, who should be at the chivalric order’s training area? And since we don’t have enough manpower to transport these people, I would like you to tell him to take several members along, please!”

” Seriously. Why, are you, involved, so often, is it, your disposition?”

“That’s what I want to know the most.”

To my answer, Sasuke-san muttered “Is that so?” understandingly.
Then just like that, he was gone.

“Lillinsama, why was Sasuke in such a place?”

“That’s certainly a good question. Perhaps, he was looking for me on Sumire-sama’s request?”

I don’t know the reason, but I’m grateful for his appearance.
Afterwards, there’s only waiting for Alek-sama and his comrades.
It was supposed to be only that, but it seems the remnants came to.

“Ouch~~”
“Ugh~~, it hurts~~.”
“Ah? Why are we tied up?”

Allen-kun moved in front of the remnants who recovered.
And those who have come to, began jeering at him.

“What, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d~~.”
“Did you perhaps tie us? No, it can’t be. We wouldn’t lose to a boy with such a cute face.”
“Well, whatever. Hey, you, untie us! If you oppose, something terrible will happen!”

Wow~, wow~, Allen-kun’s expression is getting colder and colder.
It’s freezing here.
It’s totally a blizzard.
Are these people, being unable to sense it, big shots in a sense?

“Hey! Did you hear me? Hurry up.”

At the loudmouthed man’s yapping, Allen-kun moved.
When I thought he would approach the tied-up men, he stopped in front of a big tree near them.

“Hey, here! Are your ears and eyes bad? Now, quickly”

Thud! Bam!! Whoooosh

Allen-kun hit the tree with all his might.
The tree having received Allen-kun’s blow, unable to withstand it, fell over.
The men just stared at this sight, with their mouth opened so wide, you’d think their jaws dislocated.
