Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous

33 – #08. Aiming point (5)

Run and run again.

They just move forward despite the commotion behind them.

There is no time to look back.

If caught here, Jack and his party will be executed, and there is a high probability that Lenny will also die. As for me, I will survive, but if a world-scale war breaks out because of me, will I be able to maintain myself intact even then?

“Oops, is there a blockage here too?”

Jack, who was going ahead first, shook his head and came this way.

“After gathering that many people, even a small place like this was filled with soldiers.”

“Any other routes?”

At my question, he frowned for a moment.

Five places already.

Every place we went to was lined with soldiers from the Seongguk, and it wouldn’t be impossible to break through there by force, but if you make a fuss any more, it will result in focusing your attention on one spot.

“Two places ahead. But I think there might be people there too?”

Jack let out a deep sigh.

Even in such a cramped alleyway, soldiers wandered around. I don’t know where he might have thought, but it would be realistic to see that most of the main roads already have soldiers deployed.

Will Mea be okay?

Such worries ran through my head, but right now my priority is to take care of myself. Considering the life of Lenny, who was carried on my back and holding onto my collar, and the people who would get involved in my mistakes in the future, I couldn’t be caught here.

“Should I dig in and hide?”

“That’s not okay.”

I paused for a moment, and in the process immediately refuted Jack’s words.

Cecilia has already ordered a search by mobilizing all forces within the Saints. It was an operation that risked this much manpower and labor, and it was difficult to think that there would be a place to hide just because they were hiding inside.

“I know. Better to act than sit and die.”

Jack is not stupid either.

Rather, it would be closer to the smart side. So, he himself would have easily recalled how unlikely that was, but a method came to mind here.

This is not how I live, but how Jack and his friends live.

Cecilia’s biggest target is me.

Actually, Jack tried to use me in this process, but rather got involved, and in fact, he had no reason to conduct an extensive search from the capital to the emergency order to catch the merchants of the dark part.

So, Jack just tied me up and tied me to a conspicuous place, and they could live by hiding anywhere in the castle and waiting for time to pass.

Since he wasn’t the person involved, there’s no way to confirm it, but I thought there was no way Jack wouldn’t notice this fact.

Since ancient times, when it comes to business, he was well-versed in profit and loss, and above all, I heard that he was a person who started out penniless in this city and became the owner of a large-scale merchant company.

Still, he didn’t seem to think of this method.

It’s fortunate for me, but what about them? Is that because Jack really doesn’t know, or is he considerate? I don’t know if it’s him or something related to his beliefs.

“Then, you have no choice but to break through a certain point first, but even if you break through, it will be a problem. Since the situation has grown like this, the gatekeeper who bought it must not be able to do anything.”

An operation in which the main forces of s*xual intercourse with the saint were mobilized on a large scale.

Of course, it would be impossible for them to open the castle gates, and they must have been more vigilant in that direction in case of an unexpected situation.

“…… Mister.”

After thinking about it for a while, Lenny whispered in my left ear.

“I hear footsteps behind me.”

“Footsteps?”

I turned my head for a moment at the girl’s words, and Jack, who must have heard the words next to me, also turned and looked behind us.

Nothing to see yet.

“I can’t hear anything.”

“I think there are a lot of people. Several people. I wonder if it’s coming this way quickly…….”

Lenny was a little slurred, but he understood her point.

Did this kid have this talent?

She knew that she had developed other senses since she had lost her eyesight before, but she never thought that she had developed enough to hear things no one else had heard.

“What are you thinking?”

He looked at me as if he wasn’t sure, and I couldn’t help but think about this for a while.

If you go wrong here, there is a risk of being surrounded, but if what Lenny felt is true, you will have to deal with a large number of people in this narrow alley.

“…… Let’s get out of here.”

“Well, a little girl can be bold.”

Jack smiled and led the group, and I followed suit.

A situation where all gates should be considered sealed. Even if I move like this, I couldn’t think of a clear method, and as a result, the priority is to escape unless I can stay inside.

“Is there any other way out besides the castle gate?”

He sped up his pace and started talking, at which Jack shook his head.

“There is no way out of the city except for the eight city gates.”

“…… Then… ….”

Think about it for a moment.

About how to overcome this situation.

No matter how much I think about it, there is no answer.

Inside, soldiers are searching with lights on, and the gates won’t open easily anywhere. But since we don’t have wings, we can’t escape by flying through the sky.

Thought after thought, I hurried my steps.

As we moved, Lenny mentioned the sound of footsteps to alert us to those approaching, and we moved to avoid them.

As if Lenny’s auditory part was real, he didn’t face the people of the Holy Land while moving like this, but the problem was avoided and avoided, so he kept hovering in the same place.

“Tsk, it’s the same place again after all.”

Jack was annoyed as if he was fed up, but he also had no other choice.

At this point, I thought of a way to overcome this situation. A method that, if done well, might allow you to easily pass through the city gates.

But there was no confirmation on it.

If it fails, everyone here will die. The risk was great, and it was an option that could make the situation worse than it is now, so it was not easy to open my mouth.

“I can’t help it. Let’s go back to the left here first.”

As I was about to nod at Jack’s words, Lenny gently hugged my neck and kissed my ear.

“Uncle.”

“…… Why?”

“You suddenly woke up.”

Was it?

I didn’t even know myself, but it seemed like my body was getting stronger. She turned her head to say it was okay, but the girl pushed her head lightly against her teeth and let out an even breath.

“What are you so afraid of?”

…… For a moment, it felt as if the accident had stopped.

It took her a while to understand what the girl was saying, then it took her another while to think about what this kid meant when she said it.

“I know because she lived feeling only uncle.”

Lenny rubbed my neck lightly.

“Uncle is always sleeping. Or when something big happens, shake your body more than usual. Even if it’s not that, the old man’s heartbeat is pounding, pounding. It rings in my ears.”

Scary?

Apart from the intention of that remark, there was definitely something on my mind.

It seemed that this was the only answer, but with a very high probability it would make the situation worse, so I couldn’t bear to take responsibility for it, so the thought I put off lingered in my head.

“Don’t worry.”

The girl whispers to me.

“I always trust you.”

“What, what are you talking about so excitedly? It’s all good, but it’s dangerous if you don’t leave now?”

Jack pointed inward and nodded his chin.

If he headed that way, he would head back to the inner city, but he could feel that he had no choice but to choose because it was a less vigilant place now that all sides were blocked.

The situation where the girl is still hugging my neck.

“It’s okay. I trust you.”

“…… Jack, let’s stop going that way.”

Her voice was like magic.

If she brought out my thoughts and caused an unexpected disaster, how would she handle the responsibility? She whispered to me straight away how Lennie knew what she hadn’t said on purpose.

“Huh? Then what shall we do?”

“There is no end to walking around the middle of the city. It only takes a moment to avoid it, and the fundamental problem will continue as long as you don’t get out of here.”

“That’s it, everyone knows.”

But there is no way, Jack shook his head.

I thought so too, and that’s why I’ve been following Jack’s lead so far. However, what if there is only one city gate that is relatively less vigilant here?

“Let’s break through the castle gate and escape.”

“What? What nonsense is that?”

“What would be the least expensive place in the current situation?”

“What is that…….”

Jack didn’t try to continue his words as if he was dumbfounded, but he shuddered.

He is basically a smart guy. So you’ve got a rough idea of what I’m trying to say, and you’re probably thinking about whether that’s possible.

“…… Are you saying you want to go back there?”

“Right.”

Far away is the gate we wanted to head for.

Not far from there, we were blocked by a saintess, and we were barely able to escape when Mea invaded.

Even after that, it seemed that the battle between Mea and the group led by Cecilia was still going on, gathering the occasional roar.

It’s not that she isn’t worried, but knowing that I went into battle to buy her time to escape, I prioritize my party’s escape now.

Continuing my thoughts, the saintess, the highest commanding officer of the kingdom, is fighting a battle in the vicinity.

“Saint, Cecilia is fighting there.”

“It was not far from the castle gate.”

“Assuming we gathered troops in that area. If the battle the saintess fights there lasts longer than expected, she will dispatch reinforcements. Where is the closest?”

“…… It is a castle gate.”

Rather, it’s taken aback.

With the battle raging close by, I thought it would be hard to imagine we’d ever go back there.

Moreover, the battle with Mea caught my eye, and it seems that the most successful chance is to send soldiers to support the saintess and aim for the place where the boundaries are relatively weaker than other gates.

“Brother. If there’s a wrong twist there, we’re done. Besides, Count Ruianes knew how long he would hold out and went there…….”

“If I fail, I will demand your survival even at the cost of my life.”

Cecilia’s biggest target is me.

Jack probably knew that and seemed silent, but if there was a problem in this process, I was going to risk Meana Lenny and their survival at all costs.

“…… Oh, and be hot.”

Jack snorted and then turned his head away.

“Okay, what’s wrong? Die or…… What else can I do but die?”

“We fight not to die.”

He corrected his words and returned to his feet.

Ironically, the place we are heading to is right behind the battlefield where the fiercest battle is taking place in this castle.

It is unknown how many troops he left behind. Everything was a variable, and there is no guarantee that this will succeed. However, it is clear that this is a place where there is even a little chance of survival rather than dying here.

“I didn’t like gambling at first, but I tried out the biggest gamble of my life here.”

“Life is originally a choice.”

And deciding on an uncertain future in choices is what we call gambling.

If so, aren’t we all always on the line of gambling in our lives?

“Patience.”

I laughed a little at Jack’s curse words.

If I didn’t laugh like this, I felt like my legs would collapse from the tension and fear.

“…… Mister.”

“It’s okay. And thank you.”

But the life I carry on my back blocks that.

Even now, the fear of what to do if people die because of this direction is wrong, but I put up with it and took a step forward.
