Episode 13: The Struggle of the Shadow Guard

"What is it, you guys?

On the way home from work.

I was surrounded by strange men who emerged from the back of the alley as I walked down the road to the mansion, which I had recently begun to take care of, even though I still felt unfamiliar.

The number is more than ten.

In the woman I don't need to check any more numbers. You just make them like you when you're surrounded by multiple opponents.

He is expected to be a slum figure from his miserable outfit.

Even a big city like Alistair...... because it's a big city, a young man who comes out of the country with dreams can't fulfill his dreams, and he gets to the slums without losing and returning to his homeland.

I had no connection, but I knew that there was a place like that and what kind of people were born and raised in the city.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to go out with me"

"... where are you going?

All I can do is buy a little more time.

Someone could run for me in the time I earned that way.

I have asked Mr Calaris to help me where I had been tangled up by men before to buy time.

Never abandon yourself.

I don't care where you go.

One of the men comes close as he takes the knife out of his nose.

... This might be wiser not to defy poorly.

Because at least now I have a life to protect.

"Fine. I'll follow you."

Stand in front of a man with perseverance.

"Oh, just follow me......!

The hand of the man who tried to grab my hand is bounced into something.

I was right beside you. I don't know what happened. I didn't do anything.

"What the fuck!

An angry man comes at me as he waves a knife.

I meditated my eyes on you.

"Heh!?

- Ragged.

A man who attacked me was being blown up and stuck his head in a crate that was piled up in an alley.

"Oui."

"What are you doing?"

A man who was near the blown up spot was pulling his arm and letting him get up.

"... I'm going to pass out"

I'm just not responding at all to getting you up like you're totally passed out.

Everyone can see that you are fainting if you are watching.

The question is, why are you fainting?

It is a common perception that there is no way in a luxurious woman like me that she can stun an adult man. I'm not doing anything right now.

"Fuck off!

Four men show up as they scratch out the dudes in their miserable outfits.

Unlike the other guys, they think you're an adventurer because your gear is looking into it. I haven't spent a lot of time in a town with many adventurers since I was born in Dada, so I can tell at a glance whether I'm an adventurer or not.

"Just make you look terrible. This one's got a lot of money in it. I don't have any grudges against you, but come with me..."

"Heh!?

Also, a man standing next to the man he was talking to was being blown away by something.

"What...!

"Yikes!?

Two more men follow the same end path.

"What, this shadow...!

"Shadow?"

The last man you were talking to will also be blown away.

When the man told me to stare, there was something like a shadow standing in front of the man and sticking out his fist.

It was this shadow that was blowing the men away.

But this is not a shadow.

A shadow should refer to a state in which a person's appearance is unclear, but what is in front of him is a shadow in the shape of a person itself, without any features such as a face.

"Hih... what the hell is this monster!?

The last blown man retreats as he wakes up his torso.

I don't know if you ask me.

But there's only one thing I know...

"Maybe you're protecting me?

A shadow shakes his face vertically with cocoon.

Looks like you were protecting me as my escort at some point.

"Yeah, what are you doing!?

So, there comes a disturbance in which neither the inhabitants nor the adventurers of the slums think.

The person's face doesn't look like he's wearing a robe hood, but I know he's not an adventurer because of his body, and if you look at his hands that aren't hiding in the robe, you know he's not as dirty as a slum dweller.

"Now, take that woman..."

The figure wrapped around the robe disappears into the back of the alley.

"Hey Osama, where have you been...?

The adventurer calls out to the back of the alley, but the reaction never returned.

"What...?

Adventurers on the way.

But in the next moment, that look will be dyed in despair.

Because I heard the sound of armor called chatter.

Apparently, the knight who heard the noise came.

"You're too early to rush."

It's only been about a minute since I was attacked.

"Hey, when this happens, we'll all attack!

An adventurer issues a decree to his people.

However, nobody responded to that word.

"Why are they all fainting!?

Everyone was passed out except the adventurer who was up to the end.

From what I've seen, except for the first four slum dwellers and adventurers who came under attack, Mr. Shadow shouldn't have beaten me. But if you noticed, they were all stunned and rolled over.

"When this happens......!

A self-abandoned adventurer attacked me.

Violence I can't even resist with a woman.

But I wasn't scared of me at all right now.

"Ugh..."

An adventurer is falling to the ground, bogged down by a shadow.

I guess the fact that you haven't passed out when you fall is proof that you had a solid strength unlike the others.

"Is it this way that women are being attacked!?

"Yes!"

The knight ran for me.

The moment I saw him, I was jumping into the chest of the knight who rushed me.

"Sorry I'm late."

"... no, it's okay"

It was Mr. Calaris who rushed me.

I couldn't stand the fear anymore. I was holding on if I noticed.

- I'll leave the protection to you.

"Yes!

I will go and capture one after another those other knights who cared about us attacked me.

The sudden raid had ended without any explanation.

"Are you all right?

"Yes, I don't know, Mr. Shadow protected me."

When you look at my feet, you're only waving your head and hands out of my shadow.

We're the only ones who can see Mr. Shadow because we're hugging each other.

"I see."

I have no idea who you are, Mr. Shadow, but Mr. Calaris seems to know who you are.

"This is the escort Mars snuck up on."

"Huh...?

"You should also be watching Golem, the gatekeeper of the mansion. Just like that, they're the escorts my brother prepared for the whole family."

I know Golem, who is also a gatekeeper at the Mansion.

I lost my hips to an exquisite golem that I never saw when I first visited, but I am now completely used to being introduced as a gatekeeper and trying to say hello when entering and leaving the mansion.

I'm also convinced of Mr. Shadow's strength if you say he's similar to that.

"You've been annoying me for something."

"That's not true."

"Mr. Mars."

I was surprised at me when my brother and Mr. Arianna suddenly appeared when I went to the side where they were holding each other.

"This raid was aimed at Arianna, who was inside of me by someone who resented me backwards. It was Shadowgenger who was letting him stick up as an escort so he could deal with this. Sorry for the inconvenience."

I bow my head because it's totally this one's fall.

The raid was detected and transferred to the vicinity of the scene, but it was already just before the raid began.

If it's true, I wanted to deal with it with us that had no problem being seen by others, but I couldn't make it a step.

While we had no choice but to get the raiders bogged down while they were moving so fast that our attention turned to Shadowgenger, we passed out the rest of the raiders on our own.

In doing so, I was also allowed to take away 'Osama', which I wanted to secure here.

"Later, please"

"No, thank you so much this way"

Mr. Arianna's raid was made to report to his brother in a voice-operated labyrinth.

He seemed to be confused by his sudden voice, but when he heard what the report was about, he rushed right along with his colleagues.

Now that I've expanded my base area, I've also been able to do such arts.
