Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san? - Chapter 14.1

Chapter 14.1

Escape the abandoned fort

We ran through the complicated and mysterious fortress without hesitation .
“Haaa…Haaa…”
Benny was out of breath, so I used “Veiled Wings of Freedom” on him to reduce his weight, and used one of my hands to carry him .
“T-Thank you . . . ”
“It’s okay . I do stuff like this every day . ”
When I was an apprentice to Rakel, using this skill while running would make me dizzy, but now I could use it easily .
Phil also had the same physical strength as me, so that’s why she doesn’t show any sign of being out of breath .
After experiencing that unexpected combat, I was able to understand why Rakel’s training was good for my body . For me, meeting Rakel was far more opportune than being born as a Roost .
“…Huh? J-kun, why are we going down here?”
Phil tilted her head as we went through the basement stairs .
“We don’t have the jail key . To save those kids, we need to unlock that door, but it’s impossible unless we have the key . We have to pull them out from the windows above their room . ”
“Windows…? But they’re secured by iron bars, right?”
I smiled at Benny’s muttering .
“Let’s see about that!”
We reached a place that looked like a small courtyard .
On the ground near the wall, there were some windows with iron bars, like the ventilation windows of a gymnasium .
After I asked Benny to stand by my side, I crouched down in front of it and grabbed the iron bars with my right hand .
At the same time, I touched the stone above the iron bars with my left hand .
“Here we…go!”
“Ehhh?!!”
Benny was so surprised that he leaked out his voice .
It’s crumbled – just like the Jenga [the fuck is a jenga]
I took the iron bars off of the window .
“How…how did you do it?!”
“The reason it got off so easily is because the stone wall is too heavy . It caused the iron to turn brittle under stress . ”  
I said that, while swinging the iron that used to be attached to the wall .
“So it’s vulnerable to any force stronger than the wall’s weight . Like earthquakes . So after I used my Spirit Art to remove the weight, this wall turned into something not much different from a wall made of straw . ”


The weight atop the iron bars was removed, causing it to loosen .   That’s all .
It seemed as if the whole wall would crumble if I had done that, but it didn’t because I hadn’t erased the mass completely .  
 
“That…t-that’s awesome!”
“Hmm, hmmm!”
Next to Benny, Phil was puffed up with pride for some reason .
Well, I don’t care .

“Oi! We’re here to help”
When I called out for them, the children looked up at me with a surprised face .
“We’ll pull you guys out one by one! Give me your hands! Help those that can’t move!”
After that, 10 children were dragged out of the jail .
Even in this situation, my Spirit Art was useful . It could remove weight from anything, a very useful ability .
“After this, we’ll escape from here!”
To the children that assembled in this little courtyard, I declared unequivocally, “Calm down and follow my instructions . Regardless of whatever happens, listen to me obediently . Okay?”


The children nodded in unison . They’re quite obedient .
“I’ll erase the weight of those who can’t move, so please help them by picking them up . Let’s move!”
Phil lent a shoulder to a one-armed girl who couldn’t keep her balance . Benny also supported a boy who had one of his legs cut .
I couldn’t carry the injured like them because I had to move fast in case of an emergency .
I led the way and looked around the door .
Probably the safest route would be through the roof, but it’s too dangerous for those kids to walk . There’s no other way than going through the abandoned fortress .
Making sure that there was no one behind, I waved to the people behind me .
We all went out into the hallway of the abandoned fortress .
“Everyone, please, stay quiet . ”
I said as we ran inside the fortress .
It was impossible for the children to mask their presence; thus, I didn’t bother to ask them to .
We had no choice but to get out as soon as possible .
The shortest route was to break through the wall and go through it, but it would leave a trace; thus, I didn’t do it .
 


“(Phil, make a rat go first . I want to see if there’s an enemy nearby) . ”
“(Roger) . ”
A rat that received Phil’s command runs to the front . It then turned into a corner, disappeared, and released a *ChuChuChu* sound .
“(It’s okay!)”
I trusted her, so I didn’t question her and turned to that corner without slowing my feet . There were no enemies there .
With a brisk pace, we quickly moved through the abandoned fortress .
Bandits were hard to come across . Not once did I see a single bandit .
This abandoned fort was more significant than the number of bandits from the start, but more than that, there’re chances that we’d run into our enemies .
We have to get out of here without any trouble!
 
“(It’s okay!)”
 
I heard Phil voice then we ran into a corner while running without taking a break .
 
“I found you . . . ”
