Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

"As requested. Now I'll let you know that there was no previous failure."

Melissa spoke to Allen satisfied as she illuminated Shelia, who was bound by the wall, with a lamp in her hand.

"Hi. Well, the request was a success, so I'll let you go home."

Allen walked out toward Melissa when she told her so.

"Hey, you're lying, right? Stay here until we get him out of here."

"No, this time I did nothing more than ask because I worked without pay to pay back my last failure."

"Okay... you can go"

"Thank you. Bye."

Allen, who got permission, disappeared quickly.

"What the..."

SIDE: Shelia

"Ugh, yeah......"

Is this...?

Speaking of which, I, I was kidnapped...

When I checked my condition as I remembered the red-haired man...... I was restrained to the wall wearing a single piece of dirty clothing.

And move your gaze from yourself and see where you are now...... it was a dim, nothing room.

"Oh, I see you're awake."

Turn your face towards the person whose voice sounds... but it's dark and I don't think I can confirm who is there.

However, my voice sounded familiar.

"Oh, you..."

"Is it any wonder I'm here?

"Duh, why? Is Mr. Melissa here?

Yes, there was Melissa, brother Cliff's mother.

"That's... because you're in the way!

Ms. Melissa raged as she grabbed my hair.

"So, get in the way? What shouldn't have been mine?

While I was grabbed by my hair, I pressed my fears desperately to calm Mr. Melissa down and asked her questions.

I've never had anything to do with Melissa before and I'm not supposed to be doing anything to disturb her...

Then... Melissa let go of her hand from my hair and answered the question.

"You're not bad yourself. Your presence is bad."

"Wah, my presence?

What are you talking about, this guy?

"Yes. As long as you exist, Cliff can't be emperor..."

Can't Brother Cliff be Emperor with me?

Is that all you've been kidnapping me for?

"Wow, I don't want to be an emperor or anything... just let Brother Cliff be the emperor... let me go home..."

I don't care about the Emperor.

Besides, I always thought Brother Cliff would do it.

"Too bad it doesn't matter what you think. Oh, don't worry, I won't do anything to kill you. I just want you to be the king's slave to my escape fund."

Slave? Me, are you going to be a slave?

"Ugh, no..."

"Too bad... resent the mother who gave birth to you"

That being said, Mr. Melissa pounded my shoulder with a happy grin.

Cuttlefish Cuttlefish

Suddenly, multiple footsteps rang from somewhere.

"Oh, my goodness, your welcome has finally arrived."

Gacha

The door of the room was opened and the room was brightened by the light of the lamp.

And about ten men came in with cutlets.

"Are you sure you are Master Melissa Vector?

"Yeah, that's right. I've been waiting for you. Let's get the hell out of here."

"Okay. Then let me carry this slave."

With that said, the men have untied me, handcuffed me, grabbed my shoulder and tried to force me to walk.

"Duh, slaves...... ah, who are you guys?

"Shut up. Next time you speak up without permission, I'll beat you up."

That's what I said, one man gently put his fist in my face.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who

"I know that. Threats. Threats. Here we go."

"No! Let me go, you guys!

I used fascinating magic on the men.

I'm sure you can get away with this.

"Whoa. Didn't I tell you not to talk?

"Hey, why..."

Charm magic should have succeeded...... the men have strengthened me more than weakened my restraints.

"Why doesn't the charm magic that you're good at work for us? Easy, 'cause I'm taking good care of it."

"Oh, no..."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Then I won't beat you because you spoke out without permission, but will I punish you?"

So, punishment?

"Hey, what are you doing?

"What, there's no scratches left?"

In the hand of a man who said so, there was a little thunder magic.

That hit me, and the pain ran all over my body.

"Ca ~!!"

The pain made me scream like I wouldn't normally let out.

"Be careful next time."

The man forced me to stand, saying so.

"Carry it now, you guys! If we don't hurry, they'll find us."

"Don't worry. I'll carry you in disguise as a slave trader, so don't worry about finding it."

"I don't care about you guys! Give me the money now! I have to hurry home."

"Yes, sir. It's promised money. Bye."

That's what I said and when a man handed Mr. Melissa a bigger bag... he left the room with me.

The severe pain just now made me lose my strength and temper to resist......

Just go up the stairs as you were told.

Gacha

"All right, nobody's here. Let's just ram this slave into the carriage and head to the kingdom."

That said, when the man in the lead sent the signal, I was put out.

It was still dark outside and no one really...

Oh, I'm really going to be a slave now.

"I finally found... sorry I'm late, Shelly"

If I thought I could accidentally hear a voice calling me, I would have been attacked by a floating sensation.

And when I realized it, someone was holding me.

"Huh? Leo?

When I looked up, there was Leo's face that I had been waiting for.

"Yeah. I'm here to help."

"Is it Leo? Are you sure it's Leo?

"Yes, I am."

"Good... thanks... but it's too late..."

It's really late.

"Yeah, sorry... you scared me... sorry"

Leo hugged me hard as he apologized.

"... yeah, it was so scary"

I can't hold him back because of the cuffs, but for that matter, I rubbed my body all over Leo.

Then… little by little, the anxiety until just now disappeared and I was wrapped in relief.

And the tears came up...

"Leo...... Leo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

I called Leo's name over and over again crying.

Leo rubbed my back quietly...
