Chapter 113: 113
The 15th day of the Water month . Bell, who has been living in Lilia-san’s mansion has gotten used to life, and he’s made friends with the servants .
And now, I’m headed to Alice’s miscellaneous goods store, where I’ve had more opportunities to go lately .
I’ve been there before, but I forgot to ask about Alice’s plans because of all the things that happened during my last visit .
Kuro said she was fine at any time, but it would be better to do it as early as possible .
Normally, one would think that having won so much money before, she wouldn’t have to worry about our lives for the time being but…… it’s Alice we’re talking about here . If I take my eyes off her for a second, before I knew it, it would probably be gone to gambling, and I’m afraid something may have happened to her .
Continuing down the street, when I get down to a slightly larger street, a strange feeling of discomfort appears .
It’s like I walked through a thin membrane…… It’s hard to explain, but that’s the feeling I got .
Tilting my head and moving my gaze to the surroundings, I found nothing in particular and the road was quiet, so I decided to proceed walking despite the feeling of discomfort .
It’s not long before I came to the street where Alice’s miscellaneous goods store is…… and the sense of discomfort became more intense .
……I didn’t pass anyone . At this time of the day, on this street?

This area would normally be bustling with people setting up shops, and it was clearly unusual how there’s no one in this place .
As I looked around, feeling uneasy, I saw three shadows approaching from the direction I’m walking to…… around the end of the road .
A woman with long red hair and a large spear that surpasses her height, and a woman with a face exactly like the other woman, except for her short hair and huge shield…… Are they twins?
There’s also a blue-haired man with a sword that resembles a Japanese katana behind them…… I have a really bad feeling from them . My Sympathy Magic is telling me their emotions…… This sickening feeling of hostility being directed at me .
The three of them walk up to me and after stopping a few meters away from me, the twins step forward .
[My name is Eta . ]
[My name is Theta . ]
[ [ And we’re War King Megiddo-sama’s envoys . ] ]
[ ! ? ]
The woman with the big spear called herself Eta, while the woman with the big shield called herself Theta .

War King’s envoys? Does that mean these three are Demons?
I wonder why, I just have a bad feeling around them…… At least it doesn’t sound good, considering what I’ve heard so far about the War King .
[Megiddo-sama has decreed that he will see you . ]
[You will have to follow us . ]
[……………… . . ]
I knew it was that kind of talk…… I’m pretty sure Kuro had said that the War King wasn’t someone I could talk to very well .
Feeling the cold sweat running down my back, I quietly sent a question to the twin women .
[……What if I say I don’t want to?]
[Don’t get us wrong . ]
[Your opinions…… isn’t something we need . ]

[What!?]
As soon as she said it, the woman with the large spear at the ready approaches me in a straight line and thrusts her huge spear .
It’s a fast and sharp thrust, a blow that I can’t dodge, but before it can reach me, the shadow of a person flew out from behind me .
[……!?]
[Sieg-san!?]
To be honest, I didn’t immediately understand what was going on .
I didn’t know what Sieg-san is here, nor did I even catch the moment that the big spear and her twin swords intersected .
The only thing I could clearly understand was that with that loud sound, Sieg-san’s twin swords shattered and her body was slammed into a nearby wall .
Seeing this unbelievable scene, I immediately ran to the fallen Sieg-san’s side .
Sieg-san seems to have sustained quite a lot of damage, and while shaking her body, she looks at me, moving her mouth only to say “run away” .

I didn’t fully understand how tremendous that strike of the woman with the big spear…… Eta is, but the area near the roof of the building that Sieg-san had a hole with around a meter of radius .
[……Hooohhh, how surprising, for you to have such splendid ability . At the moment of the intersection, you saw that it was impossible to offset it and deflected that blow instead……]
I thought I heard Theta’s mutter very clearly .
Sieg-san told me to run away, but perhaps…… No, it’s definitely not possible for me to escape from Theta and the others .
The only combat magic I can use is Auto-Counter, but that magic doesn’t really increase my power levels .
I can’t avoid an attack I can’t even see, and of course, it would be impossible to escape from someone moving that fast .
I feel anger boiling within my guts for having Sieg-san get hurt…… but there’s nothing I can do .
Realizing my own helplessness, I stand in front of Sieg-san to protect her .
I’m the one they’re after…… I don’t think I can talk to someone who suddenly attacks me, but I can’t afford to let Sieg-san get hurt any further .
……So I’ll just have to go along with them……
