387 - - Capturing Episode 385

I joined up with Guilmouth, who was accompanied by the head of the trading department, a spiritualist, and other members whose intentions were quite different from ours, and we began our mission to destroy Gulli and his son. The lineup is too powerful to fail, but we have to be careful not to give Guillmas and the others any unnecessary information, which is troublesome.

"Yuta, those two guys watching outside from the alley are the enemy. I'll take them out as soon as I can, so start chanting. You have to do your best as promised.

Sylphy is in a happy mood, forcing me to play the shame game. When we talked about the necessity of chanting if we were going to call witnesses, Sylphy made me do it just for the fun of it.

I think it's a devil's trick that I have to do the chanting when I could manage just pretending to do it.

"There seems to be a guard here, so please wait a moment while I get rid of him.

At the corner, I pretend to sneak a peek into the alley and tell Guilmouth and the others. It takes a lot of time and effort, but it's necessary and I'll do my best.

Great Spirit of the Wind! Yuta, your contractor, commands you. Use your mighty power to destroy my enemies!"

Simply put, Sylphy, defeat that enemy.

"Pfft......... sure, Yuta-sama."

Sylphy waved her right hand as if enduring something ......, no, obviously enduring laughter, and then there was a thud, thud, thud from the alleyway and a person fell.

Dolly can't help but giggle uncontrollably. I can forgive If for laughing hysterically as she rolls around. I, too, would have thought he was a pain or would have laughed out loud if someone else had said such a thing.

But what I can't stand is the reaction of the other members.

"Yuta-dono, as expected. I never thought he could handle such a difficult spirit technique so well. ......"

Guilmouth, it's not like that.

"After all, the guilds in King's Landing should also train spiritists. ......"

I'm glad you appreciate Robson's assessment. Please improve the position of the genie surgeon.

"At this rate, I hope the adventurers' guilds will also be able to get their materials wholesale."

The department head, that has nothing to do with it.

"How can you perform such a short chant without making a mistake?　The ability is too different."

Mr. Ricinio, I spent a lot of sleep thinking about this chant. Please don't say it's too short.

It's embarrassing, but I can seal this much as black history. The biggest problem is Bell and Flare.

"Cool! Belle too!　Berumo eisho!"

"Not bad. Yuta, think of something cool for me too!"

Belle and Flair are so excited that they forget their promise to stay quiet. My tension plummets in proportion. I don't want to fight demons with my usual kitchen chants .......

Fortunately, Marco and Kikka are quiet and Dine, who loves this kind of thing, is at Mr. Toruku's inn, escorting Sara. If Deanne were here, it would surely have made me think about chanting for her.

I look at Sylphy with a reproachful face, but he doesn't make eye contact with me.

"That's good. Think of a cool chant!"

If affirms the chanting with a laugh.

"If, don't laugh too much. Yuta, we should go on now. Gina-san is going to be attacked.

Of all the Great Spirits, Dolly is the only one I can heal. I wish everyone else would follow Dolly's example.

With Gilmouth and the others here, I can't even calm Belle and Fleur down right now. Fortunately, Mr. Ricinio, who can see the movement of the spirits, is mumbling in his thoughts, perhaps shocked at the shortness of the chanting, so he doesn't notice Belle and Flare's movement. Let's force our way ahead while we still can.

"Well, I'll go on ahead."

Sylphy finally turns to me, the corners of her mouth slightly puckered, and I look at her and ask her to lead the way, urging Guilmouth and the others into the alleyway where the guards have fallen.

It is dimly lit and there is no sign of anyone, even in the morning, as it has been chosen as the place to raid. They can make a little noise here and not be noticed.

"Yuta-dono, these fallen guards seem to be alive, what are you going to do about it?

Speaking of which, what should we do with these guys? I was thinking of catching the two necromancers and the two leaders and didn't think about the others.

"...... These guys are dressed as adventurers, but they are soldiers. But since they commit crimes while dressed as adventurers, would the Adventurers' Guild take advantage of them?"

Military misconduct. The military and the country will owe us a debt, at least a small one. This would make the position of the Marquise de Galli, the family that started the whole thing, even worse. I have a feeling that ...... will easily end up cutting off the military, but that depends on the efforts of the Adventurers' Guild.

"This person has done nothing objectively, so there is no need for him in the Adventurers Guild. Please send us some military men who have actually committed crimes."

Guilmas of the Adventurers' Guild, even if they seem to like people. He seems to have an idea of how to use it.

"I understand. I'll leave you in charge of the members who are going to attack Gina, except for the two necromancers and the leader of the guild.

"Thank you. If so, I will call someone and have him stand by a short distance away. Mr. Uwald, I'm sorry, but we need a man. Tell the guards who are standing by at a distance to be ready for the capture.

"In this case, I would be the right person for the job. Yes, sir. I'll be right there.

Suitable?　Yes, the liaison officer of the Royal Capital cannot be left out as a witness, and the movement of the spirits cannot be confirmed without the presence of a spiritist, can it? So it seems that the head of the department is the right person to move from this place. I feel sorry for making him run an errand for someone of such high rank. But he did bring a separate escort.

After the department head ran off, I left the fallen enemy guards behind and proceeded down the alley. At the crossroads of the alley, I came upon Gina surrounded from all sides. The men had already drawn their swords and were pointing them at Gina.

Worried about Gina's condition, he checks on her, but she seems to be taking it easy. I know that she trusts Sylphy's wind wall, but I don't think that her relaxed attitude is provocative.

The two spiritists seem to be chanting with their hands toward Shiva. It's a pity that I can't hear them well because they are whispering, but they look desperate, so I guess they are concentrating all their attention on Shiva.

I had expected them to detect the presence of the Great Spirit when they were this close, but I did not expect them to be so focused that they would not notice me.

Sheba, the object of the two genie-sorcerers' concentration, is being "wah-wah" by a ...... little raccoon dog and a little sparrow. The other spirit is cute, too.

Is that how a genie magician keeps the other genie under control? It looks like he is just playing with her, but at least she seems to be able to keep him from moving. Well, there is no need to chant frantically, that's for sure.

Your spirit is already sealed. Follow us! What a precious hostage! I promise not to treat them badly."

One of the leaders calls on Gina to surrender, but she is unconvincing.

"How can we believe a promise from a shameless man who surrounds a woman with a group of men and threatens her with a sword? Think about it."

Gina, in a case like this, a straightforward and honest argument is only a provocation.

"Goodness gracious, you're a troubled young lady if you can't understand this situation. Well, we don't have much time, and if you don't surrender, we'll just knock you out and take you with us. Hate yourself for your error of judgment in not following me more maturely."

The leader of the group, who had said these words, lunged at Gina with a swift movement and was blown away by a wall of wind.

"Bwah!"

It was like a comedy act, and I couldn't help but let out a laugh. But I think it was no wonder that I laughed at the expression on his face when he hit the wind wall, even though he was trying to look cool while saying, "Oh my God!

In fact, the spirits, especially ifs, who did not have to suppress their laughter, laughed hysterically. Even Marco and Kikka, who were holding their mouths with their hands, had such a great reaction that they could not suppress their laughter. So it was not so bad that my laughter leaked out.

The enemy, reacting to my voice, looked at me and said, "Why are you here? I'm not sure what to do.

"Guildmaster. I know this is getting a little awkward, but are you sure that these guys are guilty of criminal acts?"

"Eh?　Oh, yes, yes. There's no excuse for surrounding and attacking a vulnerable woman.

I'm a little flustered, but we'll catch him red-handed anyway. Oh, I should've chanted.

"Great Spirit of the wind! Yuta, your contractor, commands you. Use your mighty power to restrain my enemies!"

Sylphy, with a slightly disgruntled look on her face, restrains all her enemies with the wind.

"Hey, Yuta! You can't use the same chant over and over again. Think about it!"

......If also seems to be unhappy with the use of chanting. At my age, seriously thinking about chanting is a very heart-draining task. And don't be so happy about Belle and Fleur, they make me nervous.

Ignoring Sylphy and If who are looking at me with displeasure, let's worry about Gina who was attacked.

"Well, Gina, are you all right?"

"Oh, Master, he flew so high, is he all right?"

Well, I don't blame you for worrying about her since she flew through the air so beautifully, but it's Gina I'm worried about. ...... you mean she's a sweet girl who worries about the person who attacked her?

"Well, you're a soldier, so you'll probably be fine, right?　If you feel sick, I'll give you a potion."

"Well, that's a relief."

"You know what, it's Gina I'm worried about.

"Me?　Why worry when you know it's safe?"

"Look, even though I know, a man attacked me with a sword. You're a little scared, aren't you?"

I don't know why I let you do this, but it makes me feel a little uncomfortable to see you so unconcerned.

"Ha-ha-ha, I've fought demons many times myself. How can I be afraid when I know I'll be fine? You're a worrier, aren't you?

"Yes, I suppose so. Well, I'm glad you're okay."

It's good that you're not scared, and I asked you because I knew Gina would be fine. It's also unreasonable to force an unconvincing feeling on someone just because they didn't react in a girly way. Yeah, let's interrogate the POWs, or rather, let's test their answers.
