61 – Intruder.

I went out of the mansion to patrol with Riel and Leelu.

Actually, she wanted Riel to stay, but Riel objected, saying that she would definitely follow her.

“I want to go too!”

“But it can be dangerous.”

“As long as you’ve already come this far, it’s as dangerous as anywhere.”

“But…”

“Go there.”

It was Mr. Leelu who stopped me from persuading Riel with extreme opposition.

“If you’re that worried, you can protect it yourself.”

“……”

That’s not wrong.

But in terms of safety, it’s better to be protected by Phyllis and the other knights here…

“Kyou.”

“……”

At Riel’s call, we met her eyes.

The bright red eyes were looking straight at me.

…Yes, I lost.

Riel, who is not the timid and quiet Riel of the original, has regained her original personality and has become bright and active.

Because I fell for Riel like that.

“Never do anything dangerous. Stay close to me and Leelu. Okay?”

“Yes!”

When she gave her permission, she smiled as bright as the sun.

I left Phyllis and Luca in the Duchess’s room, and left the room to the remaining knights.

The grounds of the duke’s mansion are quite large, so even when you leave the mansion, the site is larger than the size of the mansion.

With not only a garden, but also facilities such as outbuildings and greenhouses, it is bound to be spacious.

As expected, it was even more so because the garden boasted the size of a grand park.

“There must have been an anti-intrusion spell…Why didn’t it activate?”

Riel brings out the question that popped into her head.

Certainly, when it comes to the duke’s mansion, not only that high fence, but also the anti-intrusion magic is hanging on the fence, so it won’t be easy to break in.

But to break into the grounds of the duke’s mansion, I couldn’t imagine what kind of guy he was.

“Ah, I heard that when entering this mansion, a person named Eve destroyed it.”

“Yes? Is that your sister…?”

“Hmm? Is it your sister? Well… It must be because Aine’s princess said so.”

Intrusion prevention magic is literally a magic that requires the permission of the person inside when entering from the outside.

Usually, it would be possible to pass through if the employee who manages the building confirms and approves the owner’s face, or if there is a magic stone that acts as a key…

“…Why did she do that when she’s at her house?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

For some reason, when I first came to the mansion, only the front door looked new.

However, even if you made a new door, you need to call in a professional wizard to cast a trespass prevention spell.

So I guess I couldn’t cast a new anti-intrusion spell, but it turned out that an intruder came out aiming for that gap.

“Still, how did you get over that high fence?”

“It might be a clever intruder.”

Suddenly, I looked at the high fence surrounding the duke’s estate.

It’s a bit old and has some broken parts, but it’s a very high fence nonetheless. Maybe 3-4 meters.

“Or that you can fly.”

“The sky?”

At Leelu’s words, I involuntarily looked up at the sky.

Not a single bird flew in the cloudy summer sky.

“Yeah, for example… A guy like that!”

Mr. Leelu suddenly lifted the bow he was carrying and drew an arrow.

With a sharp sound that rips through the air, the arrow flies to a place where there is nothing.

「Kyaaa!!」

With a piercing scream, the arrow stopped in the air as if it had pierced something.

And it disappeared with a halo of light, leaving only the sound of arrows hitting the ground.

“What…What was it?”

“It’s a fairy.”

Mr. Leelu spat out casually in response to Riel’s question.

There are only a handful of people who have actually seen fairies… No, I haven’t seen them before.

Like a fairy of light that Alan summoned as a summoned beast.

“Because fairies can hide themselves. That’s convenient for playing pranks.”

“That’s a very absurd reason.”

“Yeah, well, I can feel the presence, so there’s no problem… But why are you flying around?”

I can’t see it, but Rilou-san was rolling her eyes while staring into the air.

It was as if he was glaring at a fly flying around him.

“How many are there?”

“Three… No, four. But there’s no sign of an attack. Rather…”

Miss Lilu looked up from the air and looked at us.

“It’s like you’re afraid of something…That’s what it sounds like.”

Are you afraid of fairies?

Is there something in this mansion?

It was an incomprehensible situation, but since I couldn’t even see a fairy in the first place, I couldn’t help it.

“But I can’t leave it as it is… So I’ll hunt it down.”

Like that, Mr. Leelu started shooting arrows again.

「Kyaaa!!」

“Avoid cooking!”

But maybe the fairies also felt a sense of danger, so I didn’t hit properly except for accidentally killing one of the four.

I could have helped if I could see the fairies too.

Of course, if you fire magic at random in the direction Leelu shoots, you might accidentally hit one, but if you fire magic in the duke’s garden, only the garden will be destroyed.

While I was thinking that, Riel suddenly grabbed my arm.

“Riel? What’s up?”

“Kyou, let’s borrow her strength.”

“That kid?”

Who the hell is that kid?

As I was hesitating at the sudden words, Riel sighed.

“You forgot? Go game.”

“Oh.”

…Come to think of it, there was a summoned beast, Go.

On days off after outdoor classes, I sometimes took it out to play with, but I forgot about it before I knew it.

I quietly concentrated my magic and summoned Go.

“Kong!!”

I thought the wind was blowing loudly, but a Go player appeared in the air and barked loudly.

A baduki that barks bravely while scattering green mana around.

It’s a bit disappointing to be a puppy with a cute face, but it can’t be helped because a dog is a dog.

“Ki-ing…”

Perhaps dissatisfaction with not having been called for a long time, the Go player whimpered and wandered around under my feet.

“No, that…I have to say that I was too busy these days… I’m sorry.”

“Ki-ing…”

“Let’s play more often from now on.”

Before she knew it, Riel, who had summoned her own pet, her Frey, was holding her Frey dearly.

It seems that Riel sometimes summoned him and played with him, but when I summoned him indoors, it was difficult because the surroundings were in chaos, so I couldn’t help it.

This means that they must be summoned from outside.

“Are they summoned?”

Mr. Leelu was interested and approached to see if he had found our summoned beast.

As Mr. Lilu approached, the slightly surprised Go player stepped back for a moment and then slowly approached Mr. Leelu.

“Kong! Kwang!!”

“Oh, isn’t that a sylphid wolf? You signed a pretty good guy.”

Good luck, baduk.

You fall into a pretty good category.

Rather than that, I had no idea what kind of summoner it was, but is it called a sylphid wolf?

I see…

…Huh?

“A sylphid wolf?”

“Yes, they lived a lot in the forest where I lived before. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them.”

“Kong! Kwang!”

A baduki barking happily.

But I was staring blankly at the baduk player.

No, that’s it…

“…A wolf? Not a dog?”

“Yes. He’s a wolf.”

I stared at the go player’s face.

No, you’re a wolf with this face?

Should it be a Shiba Inu or a Retriever?

“Were you a wolf?”

“Stop it…”

The Go player who cries dissatisfiedly.

Mr. Leelu, who saw that, said with a big smile.

“Ahahahaha! Well, he sure looks a little goofy, but he’s a wolf.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, but I like it. It’s like someone I know.”

“Kong! Kwang!”

A baduk player who sticks out his chest as if he is proud.

I heard you’re crazy, don’t like it.

Well, anyway, I decided to borrow Go’s presence detection ability.

There is a point that the summoner’s detection ability is directly transmitted to the summoner without any specific information.

“Wind Cutter!”

「Kiaaa!!」

So, I felt the spirit of the fairies detected by Go.

A fairy who was on guard against Mr. Leelu was hit by a wind cutter and died on the spot.

「I got hit again!」

「I’m scared! Scared!”

A fairy appeared.

The fairies who look like children with wings made of light.

The fairies with sparkling blue eyes were looking at me with fear in their eyes.

「What are you! What are you!”

「I’m scared! Scared! Scared!”

No, they just said it was scary.

I did manage to cut one of them down with magic, but in terms of what’s scary, shouldn’t I be afraid of Mr. Leelu, who shot and killed two more than me?

「Smells! It smells!」

「A terrible smell! Horrible smell!”

……

“Huh?”

At those words, forgetting about the fight, I smelled my body.

No, I don’t smell anything except for a slight smell of sweat.

On the contrary, I care about cleanliness enough to wash every day.

“…Riel, do I stink?”

Riel opened her eyes wide at my words, and she came towards me.

“Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff…”

“Ri…Riel?”

No, you really don’t need to stick your nose in my arms like that and sniff.

Is this really embarrassing? I’m really embarrassed because I want to do what if I smell it.

“Sniff sniff… Sniff…”

“Hey… Riel? How long are you going to do that?”

“Oops.”

Riel was taken aback by my words and stepped back from her.

Her face was red.

“Ah…That’s…”

“Oh, yes…It’s fine, but does it really smell?”

Tell me honestly, Riel.

Suddenly hearing that a fairy stinks, I’m very concerned.

“Ah… Yes… It smells so good…”

“What?”

“No…Yes! It’s okay! It’s not bad!”

…Um.

You mean it doesn’t smell weird or anything like that?

「The smell of foreign objects! Alien substance! It’s a foreign body!!」

「I’m scared! Scared!!”

I don’t really know what’s going on, but the fairies are looking at me and accusing me of smelling.

It must also smell frighteningly.

“Where are you looking?”

「Kiaaa!!」

One of the fairies that was making such a fuss was struck by an arrow from Mr. Leelu who flew from the side and died.

It was the price to pay for forgetting to be wary of Mr. Leelu by focusing on me now.

「Elf! Alien substance! I’m so scared!”

The only remaining fairy was flying in the air and making a fuss.

「Foreign body! Smell! Smells like sh*t!”

……

No, this really hurts me.

“Wind Cutter!”

「Wow!!」

For some reason, I was annoyed and threw my magic, but I was easily dodged because I had a distance and was quick.

「The smelly scary human attacked again!」

“You can’t do it?! You damn fairy!”

「Smelly Human! Ugly human!!」

He had blue eyes and silver hair, a look that strangely reminded him of Alan, and his behavior was like that, so he was starting to get annoyed.

I was thinking about how to get rid of that guy. It was at such a time.

「Kyaaa!!」

“Huh?”

The fairy was on fire.

A flame that emits a redder color than normal fire magic.

「It’s hot! It’s hot!!」

A nymph that screams and burns.

They ran around and made a fuss to put out the fire, but the fire did not die out and grew even bigger.

The fairy who complained of pain like that eventually disappeared as a group of lights.

Me and Rilou-san were staring blankly at that figure, but then their eyes shifted.

To Riel, who was reaching out her hand towards the fairy.

“Uh… Riel?”

“It’s a prominence flare, it’s a great magic.”

Riel looked back at me, and she ran up to me and grabbed my hands.

“Kyou!”

“Uh…Uh…Huh?”

“It’s fine! It doesn’t smell bad at all!!”

“… Huh?”

“On the contrary, it smells really good, so it’s okay! I guarantee it!”

“…Uh huh, that…Thank you?”

I don’t know what to say.

“Let both of you do that, because there are still intruders left.”

At Leelu-san’s words, both I and Riel stopped her actions and looked at Leelu-san.

Mr. Leelu’s ears twitched.

“It looks like it’s not a fairy this time… What the hell is this? It’s not even a human…”

That was the time.

I heard the sound of something tearing the wind, so I reached out my hand without realizing it.

“Kong!!”

The baduk player jumped out and hit it with his hand as it flew towards Mr. Leelu.

It was none other than an arrow.

Almost hit by an arrow, Mr. Leelu opened his eyes wide and let out a moan.

“Huh…Yes, I can’t tell. It’s been so long I completely forgot about it.”

“What are you talking about, Lilu?”

“Be careful both of you. The enemy isn’t as easy as a fairy.”

In the direction Mr. Leelu was staring, two figures wearing green hoods had fallen from the fence and were getting down.

Perhaps, one of those guys holding a bow shot the bow.

“It took too long to get over the fence, the bugs have already taken it.”

One muttered that.

From the voice, I could tell it was a man.

His blue eyes looked straight at us.

And then, the hood was taken off.

“…The intruder is an elf. He’s also quite strong.”

At Leelu-san’s words, I slipped my hand over the sword hanging from my waist.
