Chapter 183.2. Intervener
-Masatoshi’s POV-
Being a god, Masatoshi knows he won’t experience such delicious events as a mob character, so he doesn’t feel that disappointed. He only writes a small sigh.
“I apologize, Your Highness. Please keep my identity confidential. I hope you understand the challenges of serving in the palace, yes.”
“Are you part of a secret unit…? Couldn’t you have co to help us a little earlier?”
Apologizing and bowing their head profusely to Sena-san, the humble man speaks.
“Ahh… I thought the sa thing. However, I’m not here as the Your Highness’s guard. I’ve got assigned to another mission. I suspected Your Highness had initiated the battle to lure out, so I hesitated. I couldn’t believe that the princesses were here.”
As the man wipes his sweat and responds, Sena-san falls into silence with a complex expression. He wasn’t her guard but had been on another mission.
“Also, it would be better to leave imdiately. If it becos known that I was here, things could get ssy, I believe, yes.”
“…Understood. Let’s go, Masatoshi-san.”
[Holy Heal]
Although the man is suspicious, Sena-san decides he’s an ally and cancels the [Holy Cocoon], using healing magic on Masatoshi.
Pure white particles envelop Masatoshi, healing his shoulder wound and relieving the numbness. He breathes a sigh of relief and moves his hand into a fist-pumping motion to confirm that everything is fine.
“Thank you, Sena-san!”
“Are you healed? Are you okay, Masatoshi-san? I was worried.”
Tilting their head slightly, Masatoshi responds with a grin and a “hehe” under his breath. The main heroine was worried about him! His efforts paid off!
“Yes, I’m full of energy now. I’ll defeat the enemies without letting my guard down this ti!”
“I’ll leave it to you, Mion. Let’s leave this place quickly. It would be troubleso if it becos known that we were here.”
With that, Sena-san kicks the concrete floor and descends to the ground.
“Wait, hold on! Hop on, Mion!”
“Heheee!”
Masatoshi calls out to Mion. Mion hops on, half-closing her eyes.
Masatoshi, with a tired face, flies and follows Sena-san, saying his magic armor is broken.
While soaring through the air, Mion, who had her arms around Masatoshi’s neck, murmurs.
“…Thanks for saving us, Masatoshi.”
“This ti, I was able to help you.”
Laughing at the voice that reaches him from behind, Masatoshi leaves this place.
Yashibu, the man in the overweight suit, wipes his forehead with a handkerchief and smiles as he observes the scene.
“Ah, youth, I suppose. I feel like I had sothing like that in the past, yes.”
“You… you scoundrel! Who are you?!”
Turning his gaze towards the immobilized ninjas, he smiles gently and sends a freezing gaze.
“It’s a bit excessive. Cost-cutting, yes.”
[Starving Wolf Steel Thread Slash]
His fingertips gleam as he lightly clenches his hand.
“Gahaha!”
“Gyaa!”
“Hiii!”
Mana flows through the steel threads that held the ninjas captive, causing the net to converge and effortlessly transform the 8 ninjas into chunks of at. The at splatters onto the ground, creating pools of blood. However, without changing their expression, Yashibu continues speaking.
“Well, I think two are more than enough.”
Mana turns into energy and gets infused into the remaining 2 threads. Yashibu confirms that the ninjas, who fainted from the imnse energy, are secured and sent his thoughts.
[Saksara-san, I have captured two individuals here. How about your side?]
[I’m fine as well. I’ve taken care of the surveillance team. I’ve also captured two individuals.]
Before Yashibu, a hologram of a tanned oriental beauty appears, wearing a smile like a blooming flower.
[Oh my, I didn’t expect those children to inquire about Scarecrow. I was surprised, yes.]
Yashibu had been observing the two who ca to inquire about Loki and noticed that other individuals were tailing them. He sees they were the princess, and the legitimate heir of the Aguni Dukekom was unexpected.
Even when they got attacked, Yashibu had doubts about whether they were the princess and the Aguni Dukedom’s heir, but they turned out to be genuine.
[Do you think this attack was truly ant to kill the princesses?]
[I believe it didn’t matter to either way. The assassins were of a disposable level, but there must have been soone planning to stir up a commotion if the princesses’ assassinations failed and caused trouble in the city.]
The princess causing a rampage in the city without any escorts would be an outrageous scandal. If soone were to raise a fuss, questioning why such a thing had happened, it would beco difficult to conceal their true objective.
That’s why there were surveillance agents separate from the attackers.
Perhaps they had never even considered that they were being watched.
[Perhaps this person knows the princesses’ true purpose. I wonder what their objective is?]
[Well… I can’t say for sure. Let’s leave that to Nimue-san.]
[Indeed, yes. Then let’s leave the cleanup to others and return.]
With that, Yashibu wraps the captured pair tightly in the threads, wearing a gentle smile, and leaves the scene.
