CH 81

"Deanna-dono, I'd like to fight you at some point in the future."

"...... Asuna-dono, I'm sorry, but I must respectfully decline."

"Asuna, Lady Deanna is troubled. ......"

We are still in the store of the dwarfs .

The three lowly men who just came to the store were driven away, rather ...... blown away by Deanna.

Asuna, impressed by the way she fought, offered to join arms with them, Deanna refused, and Farrah stopped her.

Such a structure had been repeating itself since a few minutes ago.

I was watching the situation with dismay when Ellen spoke to me.

'Tia-sama ......, was it ....... ......?　Your maid older sister is amazing. I was afraid of them because they were so skilled, but I can't believe she beat them so easily."

As expected, I cheated, not wanting to reveal my true identity to Ellen with my maid's clothes on.

When all the men fainted, the townspeople who had been watching them spoke to me, looking pleased.

"You guys did a great job, and I'm so glad you beat them."

"That's right. They keep bringing up Marein's name at every opportunity."

Apparently, Marein and his men are not well-liked in this town, and they seemed to have taken a positive view of our actions.

Fara seemed to be blushing with embarrassment, as if she had never been praised so much.

It was then that I remembered that the entity that had caused the commotion was still in my skirt.

I gently moved out of the way, and two shadows emerged from inside the skirt.

When everyone's attention was caught by their appearances, everyone except Deanna and I rolled our eyes in surprise.

Perhaps the two beings were also surprised by the appearance, one of them looked up and squealed in a cute voice, "Nn~.......

The other was quiet and showed no sign of moving.

Incidentally, my first thought when I saw them was a black cat and a slime.

◇

And a few minutes later ......

I"'m sorry, I'm sorry. ......"

"Yes?　I can't hear what you're saying, "

The man's voice begged for forgiveness, and Deanna put her fist in his face to block it.

At the same time, a dull sound echoed in the place.

After that, he stopped talking.

I shook my head and said in disgust.

"You've gone too far. You shouldn't have killed him. ......"

'He's breathing, he's not dead."

Deanna said with a smile, but her eyes were not smiling.

At that moment, another man's scream was heard.

'Oh, give me a break, !"

".... It's pathetic that you raise a sound at this level , are you still men?"

At that moment, another man's scream was heard.

'Oh, give me a break, !"

"It's pathetic that you raise a sound at this level , are you  really men?"

Asuna is shouting and slashing at the man's clothing with her sword.

It might be similar to the training in boldness I received from my father.

The men were cut down to only their pants by Asuna, and they slumped down and fainted on the spot.

When Asuna saw them, she sheathed her sword and spat at them.

'Hmph, the three of you .......'"

"Asuna, as expected of your work."

Fara seemed pleased with Asuna's success.

The mansion of Marein was just in the opposite direction from the store of Ellen and alex , so we had to go through the town once.

We returned to the town now by following the same route we had come from.

"Fara, are you okay?　I'm sorry. I made you walk a lot. .....".

"I'm fine, Ri... i mean Tia," "this is nothing to worry about."

"I'm fine, "this is nothing to worry about."

Fara replied while moving her ears up and down a little.

That's when I felt relieved.

There seemed to be a disturbance up ahead, and I could hear loud voices.

I wondered what was going on, but then I saw a small black shadow jump out of the crowd and run toward me at once.

Deanna, sensing the motion, stepped in front of me and tried to catch the shadow.

But to my surprise, the shadow saw through her movement and went straight into my skirt.

The movement caused a look of astonishment on the faces of Deanna and I. .

Then, the men who had followed the shadow's movement came in front of us.

It was a human being, and their clothes were different from those of the Renalute.

They seemed to have seen the shadow in my skirt and said to me in a high-handed manner,

"Young lady, that's the pet of the famous Master Marein from around here. Can you give it back to me quickly?"

The men approached me and suddenly tried to pull up my skirt.

Seeing this, Deanna mercilessly slammed her fist into the man's face.

"Huh?!"

The man who tried to lift up her skirt was blown away by the impact of the blow.

He then seemed to pass out in the middle of the alley.

Deanna looked at that man with disdain and said to him, "

"...What is the matter with you that you suddenly try to pull up a woman's skirt?"

I inwardly agreed, though I am not a woman. but I agreed with her.

The first time you meet a person, it's too rude to do something like that.

At that moment, I felt a black aura from Fara, who was standing next to me.

I instantly realized that this was something I had experienced many times.

I looked at Fara next to me fearfully and saw that she was angry while puffing out her cheeks and making a cute face.

Fara, with her black aura, gave Asuna a command.

"Asuna, you are to eliminate those rude men."

"I will do so, my lady."

At that moment, I hurriedly said to Asuna,

"Don't kill them."

"Tia, I'm going with you '

I meant to say that to Asuna.

I thought I had said this to Asuna, but Deanna followed her and went toward the men.

The men also had their eyes on their unconscious companions, but when they noticed the movement of Asuna and Deanna, they shouted angrily.

"don't fuck with us!"

They charged at the two people who jumped in to turn them around.

'I think Deanna is just an average maid and escort ......."

I hear Deanna can also use dark weapons, but I'll keep my mouth shut.

I was more curious about the future of Ellen and Alxe .

"Ellen, why would they want to bring you with them?　You're still owed repayment, aren't you?"

."... come to think of it. They' ve been here before, but I've never heard them say anything like that before."

I remembered what that Mohawk man had said to me, "Marein's master is in a hurry," I believe he had told it.

If he was linked to Norris, as Asuna said, perhaps his position was in jeopardy?

Either way, it was an inevitable course to take in order to get Ellen and Alex to Bardia.

I gave a tiny nod and turned to Ellen and said emphatically,

"Ellen, will you take us to the Marein mansion?　We need to pay off your debt."

"......Yes. I'll show you the way. Alex, you stay here and clean up."

She replied to me and turned to Alex.

"I'll take care of everything, Take care, sis."

I called out to the three of them, who were still looping back and forth, and we headed for our new goal, the mansion of Marein.
