The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

"Ah, oneechan yesterday!

Looking at Sofia, it was the girl who ran over yesterday.

"Hello."

With his eyes aligned, he gently stroked his head. The smiling face seems to be a child. Sofia is happy and smiles naturally.

"Hmm. This is where your daughter came to the church yesterday."

Kevin doesn't seem to be calling Sofia's name outside. This is Baron Lannish territory, and it will certainly be safer. Kevin rarely observes the church. The girl who watched it with interest pulled Sofia's arm.

"Hey, oniichan is Oniichan's prince?

"Eh... no, no. Um ─ ─ Oneechan's prince isn't with me today."

"Really?

Unfortunately, the girl is shaking softly without releasing Sofia's arm.

"─ ─ Ah, Mia! I'm sorry, sister."

An elderly boy who seemed to have run called out in a hurry. Mia, a girl with a stubborn expression, quickly took her hand off Sofia's arm and hid it behind her back.

"It's okay, don't worry. ─ ─ Mia-chan. It's great to listen to oniisan properly."

"Ehehe, Dennis is scared when he gets angry."

Sofia giggles at Mia's words. The boy, called Dennis, shrugged his shoulders with an adult work.

"My name is Dennis, and this kid is Lutz. Thank you very much."

A five-year-old boy on the side seems to be Lutz.

"I'm called Phee."

While Sofia was talking to the children, Kevin decided to interview some of the church visitors. It was still in the morning, and many people came uninterrupted. But no one buys accessories or confectionery.

"Everyone's in trouble in their own lives, I'm sure. But we have work to do, so it's okay."

Dennis tells Sofia that he seems anxious. In more detail, it is said that the children of the church, who are ten years old, are hired daily to help the town's shops and carry cargo, which adds to their living expenses. In the rich territories, orphans are sometimes educated and well donated to their lives, but the current Baron Lannish is probably not.

In the afternoon, few people will be there. The children also seem to clean up the shop and return for dinner and afternoon work. Kevin is talking to the last man in the back. Sofia was sitting on a bench near the entrance and watching the children packing their bags as she was used to.

At that time, five bad men who didn't resemble the space that had been calm until then opened the front door and entered. It sounds like I'm going to whisper, but Sofia can hear it nearby.

Are you sure it's that kid?

"─ ─ Ah, let's get this over with."

I wonder what that means. The children are obsessed with work without realizing it. One of the men approached the long table and grabbed Dennis's arm and pulled. Sofia unexpectedly raised her hips.

"It hurts! Whoever it is ─ ─"

Looking back, Dennis saw the man and cut his tongue. There is fear in that face. Lutz distorted his face as if he were going to cry. Mia and Sofia stared at each other desperately, trying to get help.

"What are you doing...!?

I was running away before I thought.\ 36384; In between Dennis and the man who is shaking his arm, I will hold my hand and stare at you. Reflexively, the man let go, and Dennis put a butt mochi behind Sofia. A man of much greater height and body snorted at Sofia, who would have been an unexpected intruder.

"What, little lady. What am I supposed to do?"

"I don't know what to do. That's... you guys. ─ ─ I'm calling the vigilante....!

Speak with the utmost strength. I couldn't lean. I'm even afraid of turning away from men. I can see my feet trembling. I jumped in from myself. I can't pull it any further now. Your heart is beating loudly and you're ringing an alarm in your ear. The men laughed vulgarly.

"Vigilante, hey ─ ─ do you know what this is?

The man poked his left arm in front of Sofia. There was an armband engraved with the Baron Lannish crest. The colour is green. Sofia watched. That's because the badge belongs to the Vigilante Corps under Baron Lannish.

"This is..."

Sofia stared at it, forgetting her fear. So you're saying it was Baron Lannish's vigilante who tried to take Dennis by force?

"I can't believe you still believe that. You're still a child. We're getting permission from the great guy."

"─ ─ You say you're vigilantes? It's... a job to help the weaker people."

With all I could hold, Sofia asked for it. The man apparently felt uncomfortable. He raises his eyes and roughs his voice.

"You're annoying me! I'm working here. Get out of my way!

Sophia's right arm was screaming. It hurts. The overwhelming difference in power is beyond help.

"Why don't you just take him home like this?"

"─ ─ No, please stop..."

Stopping with trembling feet is the best you can do. Still, Sofia did not relax her resistance and was finally pushed away to let go.

Behind it lies a large pillar. I meditated with the thought of bumping ─ ─. The next moment, Sofia sat on the floor, embraced by a softer feeling than the pillar.

"─ ─ Don't push me."

"Thank you...."

Looks like Kevin helped us. Sofia has no power in her feet and cannot stand up. As soon as Kevin thanked him with a mosquito-like voice, he stood up.

"─ ─ Did you just wave violence in front of me?

"Ah? What's wrong with that?"

Kevin looks quite small. He's not too tall either. The appearance of going alone to the tough men did not seem to win in the distance.

You're a criminal ─ ─ right?

I don't know Kevin's face from Sofia's location.

After that, it was quick. Kevin defeats the men one after the other while Sofia is stuck. Every time the sword that remained in the sheath made the sound of the wind, the sound of objects hitting was also heard. I can't close my eyes to the unrealistic sight.

"─ ─ Miss, are you okay?

Even if the noise stopped, Sofia couldn't move. When I noticed the children crying, Kevin, with a slurred expression, was reaching out to Sofia.
