My Daughters The S-Rank Adventurers Had Severe Father-Con - 28 Defeat the thieves on a date.txt

We were walking through the marketplace in harmony.

There was a crowd of hungry people around us. If we’re not careful, we’ll get separated. I’ll keep an eye on the girls.

–And then, just as I was about to do so.

And then my eyes caught sight of a figure out of the corner of my eye.

It’s three men.

Dressed in cloth and nondescript.

But …….

I couldn’t help but stop and take notice of them.

“Dad. What is it, sweetie?

Anna asked quizzically.

‘Father. The people I just passed are ……

“Elsa noticed too.

Yes. There was something disturbing in the air.

‘Yeah . They made no sign and no sound. They were trying to blend their presence into this crowd to the extreme.

Nice work, both of you. I had no idea. You do have a reputation as a fighter, after all.

Anna said, sounding impressed.

“Meryl. Did you notice that?

‘Mmmm?　What did you say?

She’s snoozing with a full belly and ……

Anna chuckled in disgust.

‘It’s just a rule of thumb for me–I have a bad feeling about this.

Yeah. Yeah.

Elsa and I had a near-perfect feeling.

Now a man I had just passed had some kind of devious plan. And a hint of dark emotion seemed to be leaking out.

And that’s when.

“Wow!　Thieves!

I turned around in response to the screams.

I see the men from earlier coming out of the jewelry store. They were carrying bags. They were trying to get away at wind speed.

“So that’s what they were planning to do.

Father. They are probably a group of thieves who robbed jewelry stores in King’s Landing recently. There have been reports of damage on more than one occasion. The Order has been on high alert, but we’ve been unable to find them. We won’t let them get away today!

“Elsa. I’m going to help you. Let’s go after them.

I left Meryl on my back with Anna and took off running after the thieves.

Elsa was right behind me.

We wove our way through the crowd and followed the thieves’ back.

They’ve seen that we’re following them too.

d*mn it. Don’t think you can keep up with our speed.

The thieves kicked the ground and sprinted through the wall of the building.

Passersby around us thought it was a juggling act, and they applauded.

We didn’t lag behind and ran up the wall. Rather than falling behind, they’re closing in on us.

You’re fast ……!　If we don’t, it will catch up to us: ……!

“d*mn it!　When this happens!

One of the men in the gang spotted a father and son who were nearby. He pulled out a knife from his pocket and threw it at the girl.

Huh!

Yikes! Meena!　Watch out!

Before the tip of the knife could penetrate the girl’s abdomen, I interrupted the line of fire and grabbed the handle of the flying knife to stop it.

“…and… Glad you made it in time. Are you okay?

“Uh. Yeah. ……. Thank you, big brother.

‘I’m not even old enough to be a big brother. ……. I’m just glad you’re okay. But we’ve lost sight of them.

What a cowardly way to use a child as a dupe: ……!

Elsa’s fists were clenched tightly together, revealing her anger. She would not allow anyone to lay a hand on a weak man, woman, or old man.

She was pretty pissed off.

But if we lose sight of that…

“Papa. Dad, do you hear me?　It’s Anna.

Anna?　Where did that voice come from?

“I communicate through Meryl’s magic. I have a map of the entire city and their location. You have instructions.

“That’s encouraging,” I said.

“‘It’s the good sisters you should have,’ I said.

Totally.

Can you save that line for when you catch the thieves?

Elsa and I followed Anna’s directions down the intricate alleyway.

Then, around the third corner, we catch sight of the thieves again. When they see us, they look upset.

Why do you think we’re here: ……

I have some very capable daughters. No matter where you run to in King’s Landing, you’ll never escape the siege of your daughters.

Eventually, the thieves were cornered at the end of an alley. It was an empty, dank, beaten place.

The perfect place for delinquency and violence.

“You got nowhere to go,” I said.

“‘The repeated robbery of money and goods is not enough, and the viciousness of sacrificing a good little girl so that they can escape – I will not allow it to go unnoticed. I’m going to send you to prison myself.

You’re the ones who are trapped.

The thief grinned at me and twisted his mouth.

Then–

Out of the shadows of the dimly lit alleyway, a number of men swiftly emerged. At a quick glance, there must have been close to ten men.

I was originally planning to meet my friends here. You thought you were setting me up, but you’re being set up.

That’s good. Hey, Elsa.

I smile at Elsa.

“Yes. If you all go through with it, we won’t have to go to the trouble of finding the rest of the people. We’ll take care of everyone here.

You guys got eyes?　That’s the difference in numbers, right?　You think you can beat all of us with just two people?

“That’s my line,” I sneer.

“Pull it out!

The thieves all jumped on us at once.

.

A few minutes later–.

Elsa and I saw the men of the gang of thieves lying before us. All of them had lost the will to fight and were moaning like insects.

”Hey, what are you guys …… too strong ……!

It’s like a monster. ……

That’s right. Elsa here is the leader of the King’s Landing. No matter how many of you are in a bundle, you’ll never be able to match her.

This guy is the S-ranked adventurer you’re talking about: ……

With a yelp, the thieves passed out.

.

Every last one of the thieves was caught in a noose.

In the end, I spent my day off doing the business of the Order.

I suppose so. But Elsa wouldn’t like it if we enjoyed the holidays with a bunch of thieves on the loose, would she?

Of course. I’m a Knight Commander.

I smile when I hear those words.

You grew up to be a good, honest, responsible girl.

I didn’t deserve that.

“Well… Why not?　You know, sometimes I like to spend my days off like this. I’ve had a lot of fun chasing down thieves, too.

Anna’s a sadist. She loves to push people around.

Hmm?　Meryl: “What did you say? What did you say?

It’s nothing.

And so our date came to an end.
