Living as an Unemployed in Another World

44 – 2. The Path of the Dagger (25)

25.

An explosion rang out throughout the mansion. Looking in the direction of the central hall, almost all the guards guarding the downstairs hallway sensed the commotion and headed there, so we were able to get down to the first floor with ease.

“Jin, bow your head!”

“Huh? Ooh!”

Hooung! As Mira grabbed the back of her head and pressed it down, something black passed over it. As they ran frantically, the road to the outbuilding was in front of them, but the gatekeepers who were still remaining swung their long spears mercilessly to see if all the troops had gathered.

Come to think of it, she only thought of running away. She forgot to bring a weapon to hand to Mira. The number of times the ring can be used is limited, and I am not very good at offensive magic. Even if you aim, you’ll probably miss half of it. When I saw Mira pulling me back and attacking the guards with only a wooden dagger, I was worried inside… ….

Hook. Baek!!

“Keah!!”

It was raining. Instantly closing the long range of her spear, Mira thrust her dagger through her throat through the gap in her guard’s armor, her pink hair waving like a haze. It was not the movement of a person who had been imprisoned for two days. A wound that has no lethal power, but is sufficient to cause pain. Taking advantage of the moment when her guard stopped breathing, she kicked the inside of the knee of another guard, then kicked the kneeling guard in the face with her helmet, knocking him out.

Perhaps I would have no chance of winning against even one person, but she subdued two people in an instant without a meager weapon. At me with her stupid face on, Mira winked at me, brandishing her dagger in her hand as if performing her performance.

“This is useful. Good thing you brought it, right?”

“Yes.”

“Is it okay to pass here now? They seem to be dealing with the lord and the other knights, but why did you ask to come here? To be honest, I think it would be safer if I stayed by your side.”

Mira shook her head, tired of the noise echoing through her building at this distance. She knew that the knight was strong, but she didn’t know that she would be unmatched against everyone in the mansion. I didn’t know either. I can’t judge the situation because I haven’t seen the fight scene properly, but at least I know that it’s not human power even if I hear the sound of tearing down the wall or the air ripping. Shouldn’t go ahead I should be respectful of making light jokes.

“You are safe here. The guards are all the people outside this door, and there’s a kid helping me.”

“A helper? It seemed that the servants were running away here…….”

Mira questioned my words, but she didn’t bother asking further. The feeling that there is no need to doubt because she believes. Feeling a bit embarrassed, I knocked on the door five times as promised.

“Oh, you are here!”

Then the gate burst open and a blue-haired girl emerged from the inside. The maids must be hiding, but I’ve been waiting for quite some time to come out and greet them in person. Alicia, who was approaching as if she was about to be hugged, was blocked by Mira in an instant.

“Uh, hmm? Who are you… ….”

“So who are you?”

“Mira, you don’t have to be on your guard. She is the one I was talking about.”

“What?”

It is true. When I was teleported by the power of her ring and fell into the annex, I revealed her circumstances to Alicia, who introduced herself as the daughter of her lord, who offered to help me without knowing the circumstances.

At first, I thought it would interfere with my movement, so I tried to run away after evading it, but I couldn’t just ignore it because Alicia made some guesses first. I also guessed in an instant that I was a member of the clergy. She was an extraordinary girl in many ways.

Still, aren’t they members of the lord’s family? A heretic family that worships evil spirits. Even if there was no direct responsibility because the guilt-by-association system was not applied, it would never have been a cooperative relationship. However, as soon as I hinted at the paganism, Alicia, as if she had waited, revealed her secret she knew.

A shocking story. The reason why the lord belonged to heresy, the servants who were ‘sacrificed’ by disappearing from the mansion, Alicia who attracted the hearts of those who realized and feared their future and attracted the servants to her side. And, even the story that I vaguely hoped that someone who would solve all of this would appear. It was a story that I couldn’t handle alone, but I couldn’t turn away from her who holds all the keys to her. She even managed to get the guards’ attention and help save her mummy. In the end, you can quietly wait for the situation to be sorted out in the annex and join them when the suppression is over.

“Hmm, but it’s a bit like that. Aren’t you the daughter of that detestable human? I don’t know why they cooperate so much.”

Even after hearing all of my story, Mira remained aloof. Rather than doubting what I had experienced, it was as if I didn’t understand Alicia’s intentions. She placed her hand on her chest, leaving the attendants glaring at us behind her.

“I outlived my destiny by nine years. Father…… In exchange for giving the lives of dozens of people to the cultists, they have barely survived that much. It wasn’t my intention, but I didn’t have the courage to kill myself to break this bondage.”

“… ….”

“It’s cowardly, but I didn’t want to die right away, but I didn’t want to ignore those who were dying. Because I didn’t want to go back to that painful childhood and die helplessly. Still…… I know what is right and what is wrong. Also that reality doesn’t end sweetly like novels. If someone could show up and break this bondage, and if that were today. I will not hesitate.”

Several servants standing with their backs against the wall heard Alicia’s declaration and swallowed tears. Perhaps she knew that even though she was a mummy, there was no deceit in her eyes, she narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms and turned her head. I just thought she was lucky that she didn’t take out her anger on her count.

However, even if everything is resolved, her lifespan is not included in that category. If the lord breaks the contract with them, Alicia will die soon. She accepts it herself and she is collaborating with me. …… Is this really the best?

“Looking at the commotion outside, it looks like the knights and priests are fighting.”

“Oh, right.”

“I hope no one gets seriously hurt, but…… That would be my desire too. There is no one who can fight here, not even Jin-sama and the thief…… Uh, thief.”

“My name is Mira.”

“Oh, yes. Mira-sama, please stay safe here too.”

Mira whispered close to me with her shoulder close to her, narrowing her brows. The smell of sweat mingled with the faint smell of flesh. She was honestly thrilled.

“When did you say you saw it? Shocking.”

“Ahahahaha.”

Perhaps taking the whispers between the two of us as a sign that we were worried about something, Alicia fired her extra blows at Mira.

“The entrance is guarded by the most skilled guards, so I’m sure you’ll be fine no matter what happens!”

“… ….”

Is that the most skilled guard? Mira took them down with one shot each. More than that, it must have been that we couldn’t communicate well, and since they started brandishing spears at us, suppressing them was self-defense. Hearing that, I gently stroked Mira’s back, feeling guilty. Oh, she wasn’t wearing her underwear because she was dressed as a man. Her palm doesn’t get caught at all.

As time passed, by the time the sounds of fighting had subsided and it felt quiet outside, Mira and I looked at each other and nodded. It’s time to go out and take stock of the situation. We look back to reassure the servants and Alicia and try to explain what will happen from now on,

“Jin, bow down!”

No, what else? Again, I couldn’t resist the mummy’s hand pressing down on the top of my head. In an instant, I felt the soft touch of her back and looked straight ahead at the same time.

At the same time, the door we stood with our backs to was completely ripped off. Looking at that ridiculous strength, it was possible to recognize that the visitor was a knight of the cathedral without even looking at it. Both of you, what are you doing this for? Looking at the faces of the frightened servants, I finally turned my gaze to Alicia.

“Everyone, get away from him!”

So desperate was the cathedral knight tearing his throat and shouting. Hey, Rani? Who are you talking about? I examine Alicia’s blue hair and her doll-like face…… Finally, she saw the darkness fill her pupils.

The soul goes out, and in an instant, the void is filled with something else. Even a dull country could understand. The girl standing in front of him said something different from before.

“────Full.”

A fragment of Zulkar descended there.
