The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

36. picnic. (2).

Following in the footsteps of an important person who has come to the capital is not an unusual task for Pascal, a member of the Imperial Knights.

or a prince of another country.

or a famous aristocrat.

… … Of course, the idiot named Cale wasn’t even that famous aristocrat or prince of a foreign country.

If it is the order of the lord, the knight only obeys.

Compared to the missions he usually undertakes as a top-notch expert, his mission was far from easy.

Perhaps, that’s all.

I thought so.

Cale, who had been walking briskly, suddenly turned around and looked at Pascal’s location.

flinch.

Pascal, startled for a moment, hid.

As if he hadn’t looked this way in the first place, Cale looked back for a while and then walked away.

‘… … After, yes. I couldn’t have been caught.’

Those dry eyes seemed to scan Pascal’s area precisely for some reason.

It must be the illusion of receiving such a simple tailing mission after a long time.

It was obvious.

Pascal gave a short nod, then poked his head out again.

Cale’s party had already gone far.

Pascal was not a man so easygoing that he would miss people simply because the distance was a little farther away.

Again, in this case, the fewer variables, the better.

Hwareuk.

Knight of Blue Flame.

Why did Pascal have such a nickname?

An aura like blue flames wrapped around his legs, and Pascal leaped.

It seems to have left a little trace of the aura.

If you can feel the remnants of this aura, the expert class must be a strong person who transcends far.

‘He’s… … , Is it stopped in place?’

Taat!

Pascal, who leaped to get closer, hesitated for a moment.

Although Cale wasn’t looking this way this time.

As if he was waiting for himself, or as if he felt something.

Because I stood still for a while.

Pascal, having received a subtle feeling, hid himself again.

Only then did Cale step up and ask, pointing in one direction.

“Ciella, Lynn. Shall we go over there?”

“… … ?”

A tone that gives off a strange sense of deja vu.

The two of them tilted their heads for a moment at Cale’s words, but soon nodded as if they understood.

Seeing the direction they were heading, Pascal frowned.

The area around the western detached palace was, in fact, a commoner’s house where nobles rarely frequented.

It was strange that Cale, who was a fool, but was clearly an aristocrat, would occupy such an inn.

Where he was headed was even stranger.

“… … It’s not enough that he came to the commoner’s house, so that the aristocrat goes to the dark house?”

dark empire.

It is the least secure place among commoners in the capital… … .

An area in the back alleys of commoners’ houses where illegal activities such as human trafficking and contracting often occur.

On the surface, it’s a dark guy who can’t even capture the empire.

Half of it is a so-called necessary evil, which is rampant in black trade and crime that is not deliberately caught.

If it is impossible to completely eradicate criminals.

Rather, it was advantageous to put it under the palm and use it as a long-term horse.

For the nobles, commoners are just parts that can be replaced at any time.

After all, even the gangsters in the back alley knew the top and the bottom properly and couldn’t condescend to the nobles anyway.

Even among the aristocrats in the capital, only a few know about the situation.

whether you know this or not.

A space where there is no place for a dark noble to see, and only vulgarity lingers.

There is absolutely no reason for the nobility to step in.

Unless you didn’t know that there was an underworld there.

“… … this.”

Did you think too long?

Pascal, who lost track of Cale, hurriedly kicked off his steps.

No matter where he went into the dark, Pascal had a reason to monitor his every move and dedicate it to his master.

Pascal, who belatedly ran in the direction where Cale disappeared, soon found a girl with pink hair and white hair.

The maid and the barbarian who accompanied Cale.

… … But there are only two of them in sight.

Indeed, the red-haired young man whom Pascal was supposed to be chasing was nowhere to be seen.

I wouldn’t have gone far away from the group.

The moment Pascal looks around looking for Cale.

The voice of the person he was looking for came from behind Pascal.

“What are you doing?”

“… … .”

rattle.

Hearing the call, Pascal instantly froze.

It was Cale’s that he had missed.

* * *

Shortly after he found out he was being tailed.

At first, I didn’t even intend to touch him, as long as he didn’t bother me.

I’m not an ordinary guy, and above all, this is the capital, the heart of the empire.

It was understandable, even if it was a little annoying, that the imperial family had to follow the guards to manage the unruly.

That knight must have a reason for chasing after me.

That’s what I thought, and I thought I’d leave it to watch.

Because there was nothing to do that shouldn’t be monitored.

However, my thoughts changed immediately after the knight used his aura to pursue me.

I used it very secretly so that no one would find out.

──The heat remaining in the remnants of that aura.

That blue flame was the kind of thing I could never forget.

The vice-captain of the royal knights, the royal knights who will soon rise to the level of sword masters.

Knight of the Blue Flame, Pascal Oswell.

‘… … under. I said I would stay quiet as long as I didn’t do anything intrusive, cancel it.’

It didn’t take long before I realized that fact and changed my mind.

He is the vice-captain of the Royal Knights and at the same time.

Because he was a very faithful dog of 1st Prince Evan Beatus.

In the previous episode, it was also a bad relationship that was very badly woven several times.

There is no reason to go back to the past and relive forgotten bad relationships anyway.

That said, there was nothing more irritating than having my every move belong to His Highness the First Prince.

“Ciella, Lynn. Shall we go over there?”

So, I decided to dig a trap.

The area to the west of Pagatti, where the 4th princess’s villa is located, is a commoner’s house where nobles don’t frequent often.

At first, I came to a commoner’s house where there were no nobles who dared to recognize my face and quarrel with me.

In the empire, there are dark families that the imperial family does not deliberately catch, but rather nurtures them.

A lawless area where human trafficking, kidnapping, gambling, and murder are rampant.

exactly… … The back alley that looks like that.

There is no way to exterminate them as they are a dark house that the imperial family secretly affirms.

In the first place, even the gangsters in the back alley knew about it and never touched the nobles.

Ordinary aristocrats did not set foot in the underworld because they were in a bad mood.

“… … Kay, Kayle. Wouldn’t it be right to go back?”

“for a moment.”

Unlike the commoners’ houses where I had just been walking, at least the roads were tidied up.

Broken furniture rolls on the floor, and drunken people and beggars line the streets.

Feeling uneasy at that appearance, Ciela said so.

Having said that, I took Ciella and took a few more steps.

Rin also follows without saying anything.

Perhaps he felt the unpleasant atmosphere in the space itself, and his expression strangely stiffened.

no. Was it expressionless at first?

I’m sorry I brought you to this place on purpose.

After entering the dark area and taking a few steps, you will come across a scene like this.

“No, no brother! please!”

“No? If you want to keep your little brother from being sold into slavery, why don’t you tell your father to pay off his gambling debts! … … Oh, did you commit suicide a few days ago?”

Happening openly on the streets in broad daylight without any intention of hiding.

… … Oh, the bare face of the empire’s underworld that is so ugly.

A few ramshackle men who appear to be loan sharks are separating a boy and a girl who appear to be in their early teens.

From that brief conversation, I was able to roughly guess the situation.

A boy desperately clings to the moneylender’s leg, saying that he cannot lose his brother.

A man who appeared to be a big moneylender kicked the boy who was clinging to the leg as if he was annoyed.

thud!

“… … Gagging!”

A boy slammed against a wall and moaned like that.

“… … .”

“Lin, Mr. Lin! You can’t pull out your sword!”

As if it was difficult to watch him, Ciela saw Rin putting her hand on her waist and stopped him.

It’s hard to see though.

Even if they intervene, it will not be of any conclusive help unless it is to settle the debt.

It is not a problem that can be solved by simple force.

It wasn’t even an article that they could legitimately solve that problem.

Even if the nobles intervene and rescue the commoners with force alone.

Unless you’re going to look after that for the rest of your life, it’s usually because it was obvious after that.

Ciel also knew that fact well as he had lived as a commoner in the past.

When the confrontation between Siela and Rin continued.

After listening for a while, I felt the approach of a sign I had been distant from, and secretly aroused magic.

“Bocchan, stop Rin… … young master?”

“sorry. Just hold on here for a moment, Ciela. Will you come soon?”

Having said that, I took a leap.

The secret operation of magical power is a skill of its own.

Even if he returned to the past and his level was lowered.

Because the use of the mana he had grown accustomed to had not diminished even an inch.

… … No, because it was in a more mature state.

Even if it was a first-class knight, it wasn’t difficult to hide his presence for a while and catch him.

When Pascal, who tried to find me, but couldn’t find me, looked around in embarrassment.

I approached from behind and asked in a low voice.

“What are you doing?”

“… … .”

After saying that, Pascal looked back in a frozen state.

As a knight in charge of this kind of work.

I didn’t show too much reaction, but… … Even the shaking pupils could not be hidden.

A face with a look of bewilderment.

“… … Oh no! The Knight of the Blue Flame, Sir Pascal! I have always known that name!”

“Yes, yes? oh yeah you’re right.”

In that situation, let me say his name and pretend I know him.

Pascal seemed to be taken aback, but nodded as if the situation was going to be resolved more easily than he thought.

Pushing his back, I said, pointing to the scene of human trafficking taking place in the distance.

“Ah, I see. Even if slaves were allowed under imperial law, human trafficking without permission from the imperial family was definitely illegal, right?”

“… … That, yes, only.”

Only then did Pascal stutter, perhaps feeling the ominous feeling.

Well, I didn’t know that at this rate, I might unnecessarily step into the circumstances of the underworld.

From his point of view as a member of the imperial family, it was an act that was no different from eating his own flesh.

Of course, unfortunately, I had no intention of letting him get out of here.

I put on an expression that I didn’t know anything, but soon I put a wedge in.

“Go ahead, knight! A knight can’t back down in a situation like this, right? Right?”

Officially, however, a knight was in a position where he could not back down in front of the underworld.

He is the vice-captain of the Imperial Knights, the Royal Knights.

It is said that the imperial family secretly acknowledges the underworld. It’s something that’s been acknowledged implicitly.

It was because even a knight who became the vice-captain of the Imperial Knights couldn’t back down after seeing the obvious violation of the law.

Hearing that, Pascal’s expression hardened. Holding back a laugh, I shrugged.

Well, then you shouldn’t have caught it. is not it?
