29 – #08. Direction point (1)

A dead end.

In chess, would it be better to say that it is just a check?

Actually, I wondered if this was not a check, but a checkmate, but the situation was so bad that such a verbal expression would be good.

“Wow, that is really absurd.”

Jack stuck out his tongue.

Of course, how many troops are lined up around here, and how many Paladins are at the forefront. It didn’t seem like even Jack could do anything against that number.

“Now, Mr. Seo? Come back soon.”

“Thank you for your sincerity, but I will refuse.”

I even cut a hole in the boat to get out of there, do you think it would make sense to go back there?

But apart from that, it was also clear that the situation was hopeless.

The people gathered here are only eight, including Lenny.

Of course, since this child can’t be put into full force, in fact seven are all that can be fought, but compared to that, even those who were immediately gathered there looked well over a hundred.

“I don’t understand.”

Jack nodded his head, but took a step forward.

“How did you move so quickly? A wonderful saintess.”

It seemed that he did not understand the whole situation.

To be honest, I did too.

Moved in small numbers within this vast castle. The movement was noticed by civilians, but that was when I first started running, and how far I traveled after that.

“No, that’s natural, right?”

Cecilia smiled broadly and ran her fingers through her own hair.

“Seo-sama ran away with a severely injured body and even found bloodstains.

We expected to be found out someday, but we expected that too, so we jumped out just in time to send soldiers down to search the basement.

At least, wouldn’t it make sense that the saintess herself immediately sensed it?

“Seo-sama can’t fly, so if you say you’re going, you’ll be underground. By the way, when I say underground, don’t you think of all of you who wandered around the gutter?”

The underground aqueduct was definitely structured in a way that a first-timer could not easily find.

If Jack hadn’t picked me up, maybe I would have met one of the two endings, either passing out on the street, being captured, or dying from excessive blood loss.

“So, well, I slowly took my time and surrounded the area and threw bait. Because if you want to catch a fox with a dragonfly, it’s best to dig the burrow.”

“…… Pestilence.”

Here Jack sighed and waved his hand.

According to Cecilia, it means that we were the ones who fell into the trap in the first place.

The reason why she was able to quickly catch us was probably because she was out somewhere in the center of the city in advance.

“At first, it was too obvious. If you’re moving from the southern part of the city, it’s only natural that you’ll end up trying to escape through the commercial district toward the city gates no matter what you do.”

“…… Totally beaten. Hey bro Damn, what did she do to the saintess that made her move this far?”

She couldn’t answer easily.

Fascinated by her saintess? It’s not a relationship that can be explained with such simple words.

“Hey, Mr. Criminal? It’s nice that you took care of Seo, but I think you’re being too open-minded.”

“What is it? Mr. Seo? No, could it be that it was a relationship like that?”

“…… Wait a minute before.”

So Jack’s expression rots.

“No f*ck, you don’t have to say that quickly.”

“Sorry.”

Perhaps the reason Cecilia prepared so tightly was because it was all me.

Jack’s plan had apparently worked out halfway through.

It is generally thought that when those on the ground come down to search the underground water supply, they attack at once.

Yes, it was definitely possible if it weren’t for the opponent trying to cover the entire castle.

“Somehow.”

Jack shook his head and took a step closer to me.

“For some reason, they said not to curse at the saintess. Thanks to that, I became a strange bastard who scolds other people’s women.”

He raised his fist, braced it, and aimed it at Cecilia.

Without saying anything to me.

“What are you looking at?”

“…… I should have told you earlier.”

“Okay. Anyway, I knew that Hyung was being targeted, but I was the one who planned the strategy to take advantage of him, so who are you to blame? If you have time for that, it’s better to think about it in order to overcome the current situation.”

He is said to be a criminal, but he is a man with a large distribution.

However, breaking the siege against this number was absurd, and going back, we were not sure how far we would be able to escape when our position was already captured.

Let’s think.

The best way to overcome the current situation.

“Oh, by the way. A respectable saintess?”

Meanwhile, Jack grinned and scratched his head.

“I think we made a mistake because we didn’t know the relationship between Mr. Lee and you, but wouldn’t it be okay if the two of us decided to talk it out and let us go lightly?”

No, wait a minute?

“Seo-sama is Seo, and you can’t tolerate a criminal who betrays the word of God, right?”

“I thought so.”

Jack seemed to have thrown it, thinking that it couldn’t be, of course, but Cecilia was clearly hitting the iron wall.

She was strangely adamant towards crime and human desire.

I don’t know if that’s her nature, or if she had something to do with it. If I had known this was going to happen, I should have talked to her past a little more often when I was with her.

Faced with them, Jack whispered to me in a low voice.

“…… Brother I can’t take responsibility for you from here on out.”

“I know.”

“If you give a signal, they will run away at once. From there, after they disperse, each of them will live on their own.”

That would be better than dealing with that number head-on.

Of course, if her party splits up and scatters, Cecilia will prioritize me and chase after me, but she doesn’t think she’s serious enough to catch Jack after arguing about that.

It is enough that you have made it this far.

Jack used me, and I used him. The result ended in failure, but he was not so stupid as to collapse in despair.

Jack spread his fingers behind her back to hide from Cecilia.

Three fingers folded into one, two folded.

And when the last one is about to fold.

“I’m really dumbfounded.”

An elegant female voice came from above.

In a tone full of annoyance.

“That’s why you can’t trust a b*tch with pink hair.”

I know the owner of this voice.

But the voice of someone who couldn’t be here.

Among the commercial buildings, this is the highest point.

The sunlight was strong on that rooftop, so I couldn’t see all of it, but a vivid purple color was looking down here.

“…… Well, they’re both still alive.”

She said that and started tossing something of her to the ground.

Her soldiers, who had been besieging us just moments before, retreated behind her to avoid the object, and her paladins swarmed around her Cecilia, slashing it away from her and banding together to protect her.

So the ground was strewn with all sorts of weapons.

“Count Ruianes.”

Mea lightly jumped off Cecilia’s horse and landed in front of us.

“It’s been a while.”

“Why are you here… …. No, do you intend to disturb me more than that?”

“If it wasn’t so, would I have thrown the weapon away?”

Why is she here?

She even thought about that for a moment, but it was also a problem that she stood in the way as if she was protecting us before that.

“Mea.”

“Why are you calling me? Did you miss me that much?”

“No matter how dangerous you are.”

At the same time, Mea’s expression slightly frowned.

As if she didn’t like it, the expression on her face as she turned her head slightly and looked at me in this direction clearly showed a lot of dissatisfaction.

“…… Is that what you mean when you meet?”

Was that a complaint?

However, the situation was too bad to express happiness or gratitude right away. I know that she has risen to the ranks of a hero, but the problem is that her opponent, Cecilia, is also a saint.

Even if there were a lot of soldiers, including paladins, there were too many.

“Then, since they are scared, should I abandon you and run away?”

“…… I don’t want you to be in danger because of me.”

“How stupid.”

She sneered at her and took a step forward.

“What do you think will happen to the b*tch who dyed her hair with a flower garden? I’m not asking you to like it, so just look ahead and run.”

She trembled slightly when she told her to just look forward and run.

What Neira said.

Look only at the future. Her heart ached a little as she remembered the words, “Don’t stop, just move forward”, But she had no choice but to nod.

“What is it, what is it?”

I grabbed Jack’s arm, unable to comprehend the whole situation.

“Why is that woman helping us? Could this be yours again?”

“There is no time to explain.”

“No, it’s Mea Ruianes.”

You know it right away just by hearing the name, a person who has risen to the ranks of heroes.

Jack looked at Mea and me alternately as if he was dumbfounded and expressed his doubts, but the current situation was too urgent to solve them.

She turned her head and looked at Mea for a moment, but she didn’t look back and just faced Cecilia, holding daggers in her hands.

“…… Don’t get hurt.”

“It’s nothing for you to worry about.”

Her picky words were rather trustworthy.

I also missed the cold attitude that seemed to set me up. Actually, it hasn’t been long since we broke up, but in this situation, the only person I can trust more than anyone else is Mea.

“Did you know that this could turn into a diplomatic problem?”

“Really? Well, it could be.”

Leaving Cecilia and Mea’s conversation behind, she moved her feet.

The time she earned was not wasted, and she at least couldn’t be caught by Cecilia moving her temple towards her goal.

“Brother, you were a better person than you look.”

Jack tapped me on the shoulder while running, but I couldn’t agree with that.

He must be a different kind of person rather than a great one.

Rather than being a heterogeneous person, he must be the worst human being.
