The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

09 I pulled my hand, ran away and ran ahead

Grab the wheel you put through the rope, leave it to your weight to slide.

The girl's body held with her left arm was surprisingly light.

Is it because my powers have risen, or is this kid just being too easy?

He quickly crossed the mansion's walls and let go of his hand before hitting a tree to land successfully.

The road is cobblestone, and if you fail to land, it's tragic, this.

When I lowered the girl I was holding, Mr. Joana came down a little late, too.

"Hey Kirie, what are you going to do? I can't believe I'm suddenly taking out a slave child."

"Hmm, somehow? Fine, protect him in the resistance."

"That's not the problem, take my daughter like that even though I have to run away after this--"

While I was saying it, a soldier came running around the corner.

One from the right and two from the left.

They were the ones who went to the entrance to notify him and the ones who were guarding the entrance.

"... let's talk later. Over here!"

Just off where I got off, there was a dim alley.

Not by chance.

I put it in my calculations up to the escape route beforehand, and I got out of that room, that's the pros.

Running down the alley, Mr. Joana is on the loose.

"... can you run?

"... eh"

The slave girl nodded.

For now, believe me, I run out of hand, too.

If they were going to chase me, would I have to hold them?

I follow the narrow alley desperately so I don't lose sight of that guy.

You're fast, that guy.

No, that's not all.

I remember perfectly the complicated alley that got into it.

Where to turn and how to run, where to get out.

I know everything, so I'm not lost in the run.

That's why it's fast.

Really, there's nothing left to prepare for the escape.

It's like from the beginning, I knew this was gonna happen.

Could it be that the enemy found you on purpose...?

(No..., if so, for what the hell...)

If you're a girl, how dare you follow me?

But you just don't seem to be fit.

He's very disturbed, and he's pale.

"You, when it gets hard, tell me-- oh, can't you tell me. Pull your arm."

"... eh...!

I wonder if you're saying it's okay.

Then stay like this for now.

When I looked back, there were no more soldiers.

I guess it's because you've bent over so many times, I'd be happy if you'd lost sight of us.

All I can hear is the footsteps of the barefoot girl that we're talking about, both of us.

"Did you sprinkle it?

"Don't be alarmed, 'cause I'm still running for a while"

Professional sister's nervousness, stays stuck.

I don't loosen my mind either, keep running about later.

I wonder how long you ran like that.

Mr. Joana finally stopped for me.

There's a fountain. I peek through the alley and I'm on guard.

So, this girl, she's so breathless, but daisy-- oh, she crouched in and gelled.

"Beyond this fountain square, you'll find a martial arts store. I'll rendezvous with my buddies over there... hey, are you listening? What are you rubbing your back for?"

"Yeah, I guess I should give you a boob. I just regret it."

"I'll tell you what I heard. Let's go."

Mr. Joana walks ahead this time too.

Spit it it all out and pull the girl's hand that looks easier, and I go on too.

There's a fountain.

I wonder if you want to draw water from the river.

Keep running and lighting your body on fire, the water and wind are pleasant.

"Phew, I'm finally taking a breath..."

"Don't be alarmed until the end. Best when I'm distracted —— Dangerous!!

The look on Joana's face, turning this way with a shuddering face, stuck in an instant.

When I was followed and turned around, the knight with the sword in his hands was slashed.

Shit, they make it into two pieces.

"Gu......!

We both fall in while we hug the girl and make a fool of ourselves.

Bu 'on!

The wind cut sounded in my ear, and the blood erupted from my left arm in momentum.

"I said...!

It was slaughtered.

It's a pretty deep wound, this.

I may not be able to move my left arm.

"Kirie!

"Avoided, but not next"

You're right, I covered this kid and fell and besides, I did a lot of damage to my arm.

There is no way to avoid that sword.

Oh, I don't think so anymore.

"... ahhh... can I? What are you..."

This square is full of street lights and it's so bright.

So I could clearly see the face of the knight as well.

I looked familiar in that face, so I talked to him.

"At that time, Knight...?

"Dear brave man...? Why, here..."

He's a knight with dark hair cuts, who guided me through the castle and accompanied me to training and water me.

Look at my face over there, it's stuck.

I stopped moving with my sword lifted, in that gap.

Hin!

Mr. Joana's dagger swung at his throat.

Well, I was slightly deflected.

"One knight? What about your people?

"I got the call, I came alone. Because you're lighter alone."

"With all that running off the alley, it's a big deal to find. You look familiar to a brave man, but wouldn't you miss me for that favor?

"... you can't. Major General Karon's assassination is a felony. Whatever the brave man is, let him die."

"I didn't kill him, Nah. Well, if you're going to, I'll let you resist."

Oh, this is going to be a fight.

That, too, is the one that won't end until one of us dies.

... Well, running away in the meantime is going to help, and it's not the worst for me.

It might seem cold, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Knight grabbing the great sword and Joana standing low.

The moment you two clash, I thought.

Kid...... Ng!

The wind blew.

Close your eyes to the breeze, open it, and there's a man between you two.

Grab Joana's dagger wrist with your right hand, and stop the knight's sword because it looks like a dagger in your left hand.

We were both surprised to see the man's face.

"Wow, a fight in front of my shop, you guys"

"Leader......?

"Bulge... I see, is he you and this guy..."

To be honest, I just don't know what's going on.

So I decide to shut up and watch.

"Brother, that's why. I guess I shouldn't miss this place."

"... let me know in advance if any new arrivals come in"

The knight drew his sword.

Brother, you mean brother as is?

That knight, this man's brother?

"The poor assassin of Major General Karon has lost sight of it. It was the fast runaway one. I'll leave you to that."

"I'm grateful."

"Go quickly, before reinforcements arrive"

The knight lays a great sword on his back sheath and turns his back.

So you're saying you're gonna miss me?

Suddenly?

Mr. Joana doesn't seem to know exactly what's going on either, but he ran to me for now and woke me up.

"... let's go."

"Ugh, yeah."

Me and my slave daughter, Mr. Joana and the other, they called me Bulge, ran into the desired armoury store with a man.

Mr. Balji puts the key to the store and also closes the curtains to make them invisible from the outside.

"... thank goodness, I wonder"

"... Huh?

"Don't worry, both of you. It's okay now, 'cause this guy's on my side."

Pong, and he slapped me on the shoulder.

A blue-haired man looks at us, shows his white teeth and laughs nicely.

"Welcome to my shop, brave man. I'm Bulge Returner, the manager of the Returner Martial Arts Store here. And he's also the leader of the resistance."

While introducing himself, he went to the back of the counter and pulled up the hidden door leading to the basement.

"Welcome, you are our goddess of victory."
