Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
243: The prisoner himself.
While I was being transferred, I desperately pleaded innocent.
But nobody listens to me.
If this is the Horizon, or maybe the results were different.
But this is the king's capital.
Nobody knows anything about me, and I don't know who I am.
Conversely, Arios is a celebrity.
He is admired by people for his position as a brave man and is treated as a hero.
Such an arios affirms me as the killer.
I don't remember myself, but I also have proof.
I can't prove my innocence...
I was separated from my people and put in a cell at the Knights headquarters in Wangdu.
... and a week went by.
"Damn."
Nothing could be done, only time passed.
A week after that.
Will everyone be okay......?
Canade, Tania, and Luna have some direct feelings, so I'm worried they're not being unscrupulous.
Though Sola and Tina are calm, sometimes I worry because I can't.
Nina is still young... and by being put in jail, I hope I don't recall when Edgar was catching me.
"Nevertheless... do I have to worry about myself first"
Week in jail.
A few hours of situational inquiries a day.
Other than that, he never goes outside, and he's been pushed into jail all the time.
Apparently the cells are built underground, and the sun's light doesn't reach them at all.
Two meals a day, and I'm just figuring out how many days have passed.
Still...... quite tough.
I was pushed into this place and interrogated over and over again...
I get tired, physically and mentally.
I can see my heart wearing out.
Even I am like this.
If we're all in the same spot, it could be tougher.
"I need to do something...... I have no idea what to do with it"
When it comes to the only thing we know, it means that things won't progress even if we sit still here.
No, it would rather get worse.
The evidence prepared by Arios is perfect from the side.
I can't complain, and it'll be enough to prove I committed the murder.
If I stay like this, I will definitely be tried as a murderer.
Before that happens, we have to prove our innocence at all costs.
But in a place like this, that's also annoying...
"... what the hell, you're breaking out of jail?
Hilarious, disturbing thoughts turn my head.
Escaping is not a problem in itself.
There is only Knights headquarters here, which is pretty strict to make...
Over the past week, I have grasped the behavioral patterns of knights, etc.
I don't think there's anything I can't do.
But I can't hit my next hand where I escaped.
I don't have the athlete to open things up.
I couldn't help acting on the dark clouds, so I stayed still...
"Doesn't it make any difference that you stay locked up here... after all, do you want to escape? Then join everyone..."
As I was thinking about what was to come, I heard footsteps.
Multiple footsteps.
Is it a knight?
But only one person has mild footsteps.
Wondering, the footsteps stop in front of the cell.
"It's all right here"
"But the target is a murderer. I can't leave you alone..."
"They're in jail. I don't think there's a problem?
"It's..."
"You wait here. This is an order."
"... Ha"
I can hear you talking...
The door opens slightly.
I showed my face from there...
"Hello, Mr. Rain"
"Monsieur Sarya!?
Sarya appeared with a naughty face somewhere.
"How did you get here... eh, dreams?
"Hehe, it's real. I could see Mr. Rain's surprise. This is valuable, isn't it? It was worth taking the trouble to get here."
Sarya, I don't know what your purpose is...
Isn't this a chance?
If Sarya will be on your side, we may be able to create a situation close to it, although it will not even be an immediate, acquittal.
Anyway, I'm trying to talk...
"Shit."
Sarya put her finger on her mouth and posed quietly.
"We don't have time to talk about the details. First, let's get out of here."
"But... how?
"First, unlock the magic lock with this"
Where did you get it, Sarya, you gave me the key to the magic lock.
I guess I took advantage of my right to be a princess and got it on my way here. Probably.
I unlocked the magic lock that was on my neck and feet.
The things that were held down are released and the body lightens up.
In this state, we can use the power gained by signing with everyone.
It's easy to get out of jail.
But here in the basement... if it comes down to it, it's Knights headquarters.
I haven't confirmed it firmly, but there will be enough knights to count it a hundred million.
Without anyone finding it in there...... it would be pretty hard to escape safely even if they did.
If you become the headquarters of the Knights of the King's Capital, you will finally have a knight comparable to the A-rank Adventurer.
It's just impossible to put those people together and deal with them.
"Please take me hostage"
"... what?
"Take me hostage and get out of here"
I wasn't wrong to ask.
Indeed, it may be possible to escape if you take Sarya hostage.
But you can't work such disrespect...
"Mr. Rain, hurry up. We don't have time."
"What is that...?
"Now, while doing this, Arios is plotting to execute Master Rain. To that end, root everywhere..."
"Is that true!?
"Yes. I know about it and I'm trying to stop it. I hope everyone, Mr. Rain, has sinned... and I don't believe that. Rayne, you're not the one to do that. I believe in your innocence, Rayne."
"Sarya..."
"First, make sure you get out of here first. Nothing can be done while being captured here… Arios will do what you think. So... use me to get out of here."
Sarya had determined eyes.
No matter how many princesses you are, there's no way you can do it for free if you help a sinner escape.
Yet... Sarya, without getting lost, had already decided to be ready.
If you've been shown all that determination and readiness, you can't get lost.
"Okay. I'll use Sarya."
"That bold decision seems to be Rain."
"So... material creation"
I used the power gained from my contract with Nina to create the keys to the cell.
Unlock it and go outside.
Then he creates the cuffs and connects me to Sarya.
"Uh... and excuse me"
"Ah... yes"
Softly, I held Sarya back.
I can't just pull my hand around connected by handcuffs, so I just have to hold him like this...
Even though you're a princess, you're a girl of your age.
Warm and soft.
Occasionally, Sarya's exhalation touches her up close.
So don't think about the evil.
Let's be serious.
"Hold on tight"
"Um... me, isn't it heavy?
"It's okay. I'm powerful even when I look like this."
"Well... that's not the answer."
I don't know what else to do.
I have an adult woman, so there's no way I can tell you how much weight I feel.
"Okay...... I'll go!
"Yes."
Sarya, holding her, went outside the dungeon.
They're in a surveillance room outside.
Three knights appeared to have accompanied Sarya, waiting in line.
"Become... what about you!?
"Monsieur Sarya!?
Suddenly, when they saw us popping up, the knights exposed their agitation.
I'm not going to miss that gap.
Beat him in the jaw to shake his brain and cause him to have a concussion and pass out.
Collect my luggage and gear in another room and move the stairs leading to the ground.
"Huh..."
Sarya was circling her eyes.
"Excuse me. Over there, I just had to get through it, even if it was a little rough... did I surprise you?
"Yes, I was surprised in a different way... I heard the story, but Mr. Rain is very strong, isn't he? I can't believe how much surprise you took down a warring knight so easily... that's not what normal people can do"
Weren't you surprised, impressed?
I can't believe you can afford to have that kind of emotion at a time like this, Sarya, maybe a pretty big guy.
"You're going to be more surprised. Keep it up, keep it tight!
"Yes."
Sarya took the hostage... and I escaped the Knights headquarters.
