A week has passed since then.
Ramda-san's sporadic harassment continued, but none of it was particularly intolerable to me.
It was more painful when I was at the party.
The guards are against me.
"It's been a week, and I think it's the newest rookie I've got left.We're all gonna roll our tails and run in a day or three. "
It seemed surprising.
This job retention rate is too bad.
By this time, I was able to do a single job by myself.
Checking as a gatekeeper, guarding the walls, patrolling the city as a night guard.It's an unexpected by-product of Lamda's push to work.
"Shit. I'm surprised how fast you remember."
That's what Captain Bolton praised me for.
"With you, maybe we can catch the bandits."
"Bandits?
"Ah, there have been many robberies in King's Landing since before you arrived.Sometimes I don't have enough men, and I'm always scratched in the eyes of the guards.That's what's driving the city to beat us up for tax thieves. "
Commander Bolton sighed.
"But, Sieg. With you, we might be able to catch them.... even if I look like this, I'm buying you. "
I want to live up to my expectations, but it will be difficult if I don't grasp their footsteps.
And today I was still being checked as a gatekeeper.
We will change the identity of incoming visitors.
By the end of the day, a group of travellers came.
That was when I was about to go censorship.
"Sieg. I'll take care of this."
It was unusual for Mr Lamuda to take the lead and leave.
"I understand."
When I responded, I entrusted Mr Lamda with the examination.
Within a few minutes, the travelers' censorship was over.
They try to get to the city.
I was inadvertently calling out to Mr Lamda.
That was pretty fast.
"What? Really?
"They didn't have permits, did they?Wouldn't it be better to compare it with the letter of arrangement that came from another city?
"It's okay. Don't worry about it.They've been here several times before.I didn't have any problems at the time. "
"But I think we should be careful."
"It's okay.I'll take responsibility for everything.... and it's not good for you, senpai, to stick your finger in my way. "
I felt uncomfortable with the words from Lamda, who was far from the word responsibility, but I thought it would be useless to pursue any further.
I decided to back off for a while.
And as the sun went down, a bell rang to announce the end of the day.
But this is not the end of our business.
Because I was still working as a night guard today.It appears that Lamuda has taken on another shift with the other guards.
"Come on, Sieg.Shall I go to the night guard? "
Are you with Lamda today?
"Hey, that sounds like I'm always skipping.I'm doing it for your education.
I thought you said something.
It's not like you're always skipping.
We'll be patrolling the city at night.
As soon as I got the torch, I walked around the city at night to see if anyone was suspicious.We have a lot of robberies going on lately, so we should be careful.
"Sieg. Let's go to this alley next."
Mr. Ramda led me into the alley.
There is no light in the place covered in darkness but the moonlight and the pine light in hand.It was as quiet as the bottom of the sea.
It was when I tried to step into the back of the alley.
... this is... Anyone but us?
I detected signs of people nearby.
The next moment, a black shadow popped out of the shadow.He's trying to stab me with his dagger.
Lighted by the moon's lights, the sword runs through darkness.
It ran away and grabbed my cheek.
"... you think I'm being stolen?
They were looking at my reaction rate.
It was when I was trying to intercept and pull out the sword I was pointing at.
There was a strong shock on my back.
I understand that he was slightly late and slashed from behind.
- Stupid. There was no sign of anyone showing up.Did you move the moment?But it's strange that I can't react at all.
No, it's not. I see.
The enemy who suddenly appeared from behind didn't slash me.The guy in the back came at me from the beginning.
Behind him stands a lambda with a smiley expression.Looking down at me on the ground.
"Ramda-san... what are you imitating?
"Sieg. I want you to die here today."
Mr. Lamda distorted his mouth.
Behind it stood three black shadows.Raised by the moonlight - their faces looked familiar.
"These guys... during the day..."
It was part of the journey that came during the day.
"There's been a lot of robberies in this city lately, isn't there?They're the killers.I was pulling the thread behind them. "
Mr Lamda's tone was overnight or floating.
"Instead of me helping them, they will pay me a portion of the money I get.We have a common interest. "
I see. It doesn't make sense that we can't grasp the killer.
With the help of our guard, Lamuda, we will be able to grasp the security gaps and get the guards somewhere else.
But...
"... you know what you're doing?
"Of course.Sieg, the world can't just be beautiful.If you don't become a robber, you'll be a robber. "
Lamda laughed at herself as if she were drunk.
"You went too far. [M]As a result, you will die.I'll report to the commander that you ran away from your hard work. "
I thought maybe.
Some of the newcomers who have left so far may have been erased by Lambda.He buried someone he didn't like.
I thought it would be possible enough.
"... Lambda. You seem to be mistaken."
I told you.
Lambda snorted her nose to make a fool of herself.
"Mistake? What am I mistaken for?
"I'm not the one who ends here.That's what you are. "
When I said so, I got on my knees and stood up.
Looking at Lambda, he looked stunned.
"Ha...!?Stupid... I can't stand it....!I did cut my back.It should finally move....!
"The knife of a man who can't do one evil without relying on others is useless.Don't you know that?
I pulled the sword from my waist this time.
"Until now, you were my boss, so I followed you honestly, but now I know you're a scoundrel."
Then I raise my sword to his face and tell him.
"As a guardian of the city, I will defeat you as a thug who threatens the city.I won't make any trouble, so be prepared. "
