Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 90

While I was waiting for grandfather at the inn, I was able to hear a little from Yuri-san.

"The lady I serve has a very strong sense of justice. It's just, this time the opponent was too evil. Because my lady's friend was in a bind, my lady gathered the evidence to save that person. But before she could submit the evidence, my lady…"

That means we must hurry toward the Royal Capital.
It's necessary to bring Yuri-san's papers.
But… It looks like Yuri-san might get a.s.saulted again.
Well, thinking about it, I can't imagine us losing.

While I was listening to Yuri-san's talk, grandparents came back.

"Yuri-san, rest a.s.sured. The masked men won't appear in front of Yuri-san anymore. And we will take responsibility for taking you to the Royal Capital."

"Ah, thank you very much! I'm really lucky to receive help from everyone."

Yuri-san finally smiled.
Well then, let's take Yuri safely to the Royal Capital.
We left the village aiming for it.

… The result is, we were attacked afterwards.
Fifteen times at that.
Isn't that a bit too much?
Of course, all of them got crushed.
I think it'd be better if they learned their lesson already.

It might have been different if it was only me, Sana, Ange-san and Allen-kun.
We're experts at fighting, but we aren't professionals at scouting or gathering information.
But this time is different.
There's grandfather and the ninja, Sasuke-san.
Every time they locate a fully concealed look-out they go around and ambush him.

To put it bluntly, dealing with them afterwards was a bigger trouble than defeating them.
They had to be left to someone who can be trusted each time.
From the fifth time, Allen-kun and Ange-san were saying "We should leave them dead…", but I decided to ignore them.

… But, at last we arrived at the Royal Capital!
We accompanied grandfather to the Royal Castle.
Come to think of it, who's the prince to whom Yuri wants to deliver the important evidence?
If I'm not mistaken, there are two princes older than Chris-sama, and one younger.

"By the way Yuri-san, I wonder which prince is the recipient of the papers?"

"Yes, my lady entrusted them to the Third Prince, Christopher-sama."

My, it was Chris-sama.
Then you should be able to talk soon.

That's what I thought, but why is this happening?

"Hurry up, hand over the girl quickly!"

Shortly before reaching the Royal Castle, we got involved with strange people.
By the way, the girl seems to refer to Yuri-san.
Is the evidence important enough to attack near the Royal Castle, or are they just idiots?

"What are you doing! Hurry up! If you oppose us, you will be captured too!"

This time they aren't masked.
Somehow, they're dressed guard-like.
But we have no obligation to obey.

"Hmm, how rough. Why are you trying to catch this girl? We are on the way to take her to the Royal Castle. If there's no legitimate reason, we'll hurry up ahead."

"There's no need to state the reason! Eei, what a pain. Seize all of them!"

When he said that, guard-like people surrounded us.
What are you doing in such a city?
Why are all these things happening.
I don't want to admit it, but frankly I wonder if I'm predisposed to getting into trouble.

While I was thinking, they readied their swords and approached us.
I wonder if we brought it upon ourselves by leaving the carriage at the inn because we were close to the Royal Castle.
We prepared to protect Yuri-san.

Residents are watching us from afar.
Yup yup, try to not get involved~.

As usual, we are knocking people out with single blows.
Going easy like this is unexpectedly tiring.
When we were finis.h.i.+ng cleaning up, an important-looking man riding a horse appeared.

It's a beard.
It's a splendid beard.
Somehow, it bounced.
The important looking uncle talked to a guard who was lucky enough to be still standing.

"I get what happened. Hey, you guys. You don't seem to be from this country, but in this country, you follow the local law. If it goes any further, the army will come."

The beard said something.
To be honest, since a while ago I feel like Allen-kun and Ange-san are about to leap out, I don't mind though.
Since, personally I don't like this beard.
At that time grandfather came in front of the beard.

Jump, hit! Thud!

… To explain, grandfather jumped on the beard's horse, caught his neck, and dragged him off the horse.
Oh~, he really did it~.

"W, what are you doing? Do you know who I… am?"

I'll omit what happened later.
Looking at grandfather's face, I noticed peculiar abrupt movements.

"Do I know who you are? … Ah, I know. You too do realize who I am?"

The beard began to dogeza on the spot.
The people in the vicinity are amazed.

"Ah, ah, ah, I, I, I'm sorry! I, I, I didn't think the Sword G.o.d-sama would be in such a place. P, p, please forgive me!"

The beard began trembling and asking for forgiveness.
Grandfather… What on earth did you do?
