Kevin jumped in and the air just hardened.

However, the men observed Kevin, who was standing in the position of sheltering Carina, and snorted.

"Ah? You're such a tiny little brother, aren't you?"

The man who was grabbing Carina's hand said. Kevin frowned at the discomfort, but from the man's point of view, it might seem as if he was frightened.

Kevin knows what he looks like from his opponent.

I'm not wearing a uniform because I was only supposed to drink with my colleagues today. It's a lightweight outfit with a simple shirt, trousers, and a loose-fitting coat. I had a sword under my coat just in case, but I couldn't see it in this darkness.

"Tiny, that's a bit terrible." Better yet, oniisan, as I said earlier, this child is with me. Could you please refrain? "

"I can't talk to you about that for a moment, can I?"

"I'm the one who has to get out of here."

"Yeah, who do you think we are? I can't say I don't know the Galabas Brothers here."

Kevin listened to the conversation between the men and shook his shoulders, jerking to the proper noun that came out of it.

Speaking of the Galabas brothers, it's a broken door that calls itself an adventurer who's been doing bad things around here lately. Because no one saw my ID as an adventurer.

The second platoon, which often had drinking parties around here, was also a topic of discussion. The owner didn't like it, so he stomped down the food and beverage bill, broke the glass when he was drunk, or used violence.

The shop he was looking after was also bothered, so the 2nd Platoon said that if they found it, they would catch it, and they didn't want to leave it to the guards.

I didn't think Kevin would meet me here.

"Brother Galabas, are you? That adventurer's?"

"That's right. If you've heard of it, get out of there." We're going to play with that cheeky little girl right now. "

Kevin heard his thread of reason breaking in the words.

These broken-down doors are bothering Kevin and his local shop and calling out for his precious Carina.

Kevin only needs to take out his sword if he's considered an enemy.

──Carina, don't move.

Okay, okay, okay.

Kevin's words caused Carina to nod her head.

Kevin opened his coat and stood his sheathed sword. The pattern glows with decorations that indicate that it belongs to the Kingsguard Knights.

Carina caught sight of the dim alley and its decorations, which were invisible to the men.

"I'm sorry, but you were unlucky to see me here."

What are you talking about!?

Take it out!

The two of them swung their fists together and struck each other with a scabbard, making eye contact with the man in front of them.

A third man was hiding behind a stack of boxes, but Kevin had already noticed. Without moving her gaze, she pushed the box with her sword tip, and the man fell down with the box.

The body is big, but it doesn't seem to be that strong. The adventurer is probably lying too.

"... are you still going to do it? If you give up, I'll just keep you in custody."

"What? The little one's getting on her nerves...!"

The last remaining man picks up an iron waste pipe from a shop hanging on the wall and punches it. When Kevin slammed the back of his hand with his sword, the man easily removed the iron pipe. I pierced the gap and kicked it with all my strength.

The man struck his back against the wall of the building and stopped moving.

"Yes, Shimai"

Kevin said that and put the sword back under his coat, which he hadn't been able to pull out of the sheath until the end. It is a sword that is too conspicuous to wait around the city. It would be a good idea to hide it.

Kevin turned around and Carina clapped facelessly. I hope it hasn't been pulled.

"Carina, please wait. Can you go to the store and get me a rope?"

I can't believe Kevin left Carina here to pick up the rope. The men are unconscious, but they don't know when to wake up.

Yeah. I'll be right there.

Carina, who was hanging her back on the wall, ran to the main street under Kevin's direction.

Kevin, who was left with the fallen doors in the back alley, moves the men to make it easier for him to be restrained. Carina came back with a rope as she pulled the oldest man to the edge.

"Ah, thank you. Wait a minute, I'm going to tie you up."

Then I can help you.

I see? Well, then, give me those two.

As Kevin began to tie the first person up, Carina looked halfway through and seemed to understand how to tie him up, and immediately began to rope the man up.

It seems true that he said he could help, and he is tying up a man with a familiar touch.

"... thank you for protecting me."

Carina pulled the rope as hard as she could while holding the man's body with her feet.

Seeing that, Kevin burst out unexpectedly. Carina's behavior was too far-fetched to endure.

"Fu, hahaha. Carina, even if you tie it up as much as you want, it's just funny."

"Wait... what!" I told you I'd thank you so much. "

"I mean, anything... hahaha. Wait, that's too much fun."

The laughter that has sprung up once is hard to stop. Even so, Kevin and Carina were unwilling to tie up their second man.
