Common Sense of a Warrior

Then two months later, I was on my way to the study when your father called me in.

"... excuse me"

Inside, besides your father, there are also Mr. Kreutz and Mr. Berlis.

Because of the air emanating from those three, the surprisingly heavy air wrapped around the room.

"Are you here?... Mel, you asked me to come here for a favor"

"What can I do for you?

"Will you cooperate with the National Army mission?

Words clogged for a moment in words that I didn't even think of.

"What the hell..."

"More frequently than a few weeks ago, there have been cases of high-profile or wealthy housemaids being kidnapped. … this, in the King's capital."

No way...... and I almost shut my mouth.

Because I knew so much that your father's words were not false that he didn't like them because of his voice color and the atmosphere in this place.

"They're clever guys, and I can't get a clue at all when I do my research. Whether or not those who are caught are the only ones who are being asked to solve it early..."

"... I mean, I became Merrith as Merrith's shadow warrior, and I'm supposed to be?

"... that's what I'm talking about"

"I accept. What are your specific operations?"

"... is that good? I know your power... but still, it's a dangerous mission, isn't it?

"There are girls in that dangerous land who have nothing to do with it, right? Their parents will be worried.... Most importantly, the more time passes, the more danger they will have. I was wondering if it was more important to resolve it early. If you could use this power for that, what would you hesitate to do?

If I put it that way, your father sighed.

"Right.... So, Berlis. Explain, please."

Then I heard Mr. Bellis' operation, and I wore Merlis' clothes to move on that street.

And, as you can see, a small escort... dressed by the face of the National Army... takes me into the carriage myself.

At this hour of the evening, the neighborhood where noble mansions gather is sparsely populated.

I hope it takes me one time......

View the streets as you blur about that.

The landscape with few evening crowds made people feel somewhere lonely and uncut.

It's funny to me that I'm calm somewhere for being on duty and can afford to think about that.

... It doesn't seem to be going very well inside and ended up empty that day.

Then for a week, the operation continues.

Occasionally we had walks in the aristocratic area and other less-populated king capitals... but the enemy would never catch on.

What if the killer in the kidnapping has stopped working yet?

Such suspicion overheads me.

Of course, another unit other than me is investigating... but there's no progress inside.

It's just hard to step in, even if they discover enemies.

Because the priority should be the rescue of captured children.

The phrase that safely stepped into enemy territory, if the captured children were treated as hostages, they would be blind.

That's why the best thing is to escort them from the inside after I'm captured...

When I was thinking about that, it made noise around me in Russia.

I don't think so...... from outside the carriage, there are the escorts in battle.

Apparently, I pulled a hit today.

My head felt soothingly cold as the sound of my heart rang loudly.

Gathari, and the carriage door opens.

"... Well, lady. May I ask you to join me?

Behind the back of polite language, a man with an inferior grin.

... not the escorts, of course.

I retreat, frightened.

… are you doing well with that?

I stare at a man wholeheartedly as I think about that in a corner of my head.

The man wouldn't resist. When he grabbed me hard, he took me straight out.

The face of the escort is in the midst of battling the other enemies.

I was taken as I was by a man and taken as I was by another carriage that was parked in the corner.

Where are we headed...... I want to look outside, but I can't see it with my blindfold on.

I just know how many people there are at the sign.

This is also a gift of daily training.

But it is a mystery that the National Army, which was hidden in the shadows, is able to follow me.

You can't tell that by reading the signs on the boulder.

I trust them for once... but when I have to, I am prepared to fight alone.

Then a little bit, the carriage stopped.

And I am walked with my arm forcefully grabbed.

Ever since I got off the carriage, I've been walking more than I thought... but that means a pretty big place.

What the hell building is it?

Nevertheless, because the architectural style is so different, concentrate on remembering the information inside the building with your body.

Even though he was blindfolded and invisible, he remembered how many steps he had taken and how many stairs he had climbed and how many times he had bent.

You finally get there, you get pushed indoors with both the sound of opening the door, and you get your blindfold off.

Inside, it was a normal room.

No, it's moderately neat. That's... Normally, I just thought the kidnapper's base was in a bit dirtier and more cumbersome, and I feel uncomfortable.

Yes, it's like an aristocratic mansion.

Of course, there are no expensive dishes or tattoos engraved on them.

Burri and I felt trembling at the possibility that we had reached it.

Looking indoors, I found the kids leaning against each other on the edge.

Immediately, count how many there are.

Five...... the same number of people who had been kidnapped that Mr. Berlis had told us beforehand.

"... Everyone, are you hurt?

I look at their bodies all the time while I speak up.

There is no one to blame for that glimpse, but in this instance.

"Yes, it's okay. Did they bring you here too...?

While everyone just nodded without opening their mouths in fear, there was a child whose temperament put it that way.

"Yeah, that's right.... all of you?

Everyone shook their heads vertically in fear at my inquiry.

I guess it was too scary...... there are tear marks on the cheeks and they all look pale.

Even now, there are crying children.

Fear propagates… Above all, he shrinks and trembles. So sad that I embraced the child.

"... it's okay"

Pom pom, and gently slap his back.

"I'm sure there will be help soon. And I will protect you."

I told him to whisper so and kept hugging him for a while.

Eventually, the tremor gradually subsided and it seemed that Ston and his body had lost their strength.

"... what the hell are you...? My name is Sharia. Count Terrose's daughter."

"I... Merlis of the Marquis Anderson"

"Oh, that gazelle lady's son!?

"I am Mel, his escort and shadow warrior. We infiltrated here to solve this case. My task now is to protect you."

There was an air of relief in my words.

Though from the same generation of me, what I was told to protect clearly must have led to it.

If you're stuck in a human predicament, you're stuck in straw.

… although, of course, I am not going to spoil it on straw.

"So I'm very afraid, ladies and gentlemen, please follow my instructions for this occasion. First, stay motionless and squatted when the enemy arrives. Because it would be easier for me to protect you if you all gathered in one place. Then the place stops a little further in the corner... here, stay"

I'll stand up and show you where it is.

It's the far back corner from the door.

Everyone stood up slowly in the place indicated and sat down as they had been instructed in fear.

"Then, if you're scared, meditate on your eyes. It may be difficult, but please don't even scream"

Build fortifications by collecting side tables and other relatively light items one after the other.

"Me too, I'll help"

Aristocratic Sharia, like never having anything heavier than a spoon, names it, and the two of us move the furniture.

Thanks to this, heavy furniture could also be moved.

Even if it's a fort, you can break it right away. That, but it would be better than no.

I just finished building the fort. Sharia asked me to go inside, and I tore my skirt.

At times of need, it is difficult to move in this long skirt.

And I took the sword I had hidden in my skirt.

It's lighter and smaller than usual.

I just acted that far, and suddenly, it got noisy with Russia.
