After protecting the children who had been kidnapped by the attackers, we connected the cart in which they had been carried to the charcoal truck in which they had arrived.
Leaving the escort to the First Order led by Cross and the Sixth Division of the Second Order led by Lagarde, we boarded the charcoal truck driven by Capella and started our way ho.
Upon arrival at the accommodation, the kidnapped children were warmly welcod by the maids that Fara had arranged for them.
At that ti, so of the children began to cry, perhaps because they were so relieved that they had lost their tension.
Fortunately, none of the children involved in the incident were injured, and no one was missing.
I was relieved for the mont, but things were not that simple.
As I finished removing the kidnapped children from the back of the truck, I was approached by a voice saying, "Master Rid."
When I turned around, I saw Fara smiling at . Asuna was standing by her side.
"I am so glad you are safe."
"Thank you, Fara. The attacker was not ordinary. And I have a bad feeling about this."
"What do you an by that, ......?" She tilted her head in concern.
"Let's talk about it in the office,"
After moving to his office in the accommodation, I explained the situation to Fara and Asuna, as if to confirm it myself.
The girls also reported to about the activities at the accommodation.
The initial confusion caused by the attack on the workshop was quite violent, but it seems that the chaos was quickly cald down thanks to Capella's precise initial response and the imdiate transmission of information to all concerned parties.
At the sa ti, a rapid response was being carried out by tracking teams and others, and I was also contacted by communication magic.
It was Fara who took over.
As soon as she returned to the accommodation, she confird the situation from Capella.
She decided that I would need his help and offered to take over the work.
Since there had been so complications with the charcoal truck and Ellen that she had requested from , Capella accepted her proposal.
After that, Fara seed to have been filling in well for him, communicating information and making accurate judgnts about the situation.
"I see. I see you did a lot of hard work. Thank you so much, Fara.'"
"I just did what I could do. I was surprised that the attackers were that strong."
"Yes, I expected it to so extent, since they were so willing to ss with Bardia. They were much more than I imagined. ......"
The person leading the attackers was a woman nad Claire from the Fox tribe.
I don't know if that is her real na or a nickna.
The only thing I can say is that I was helpless before her.
If Almond had not been there, I don't know what would have happened.
Besides, Claire said it was 'just for fun,' so I guess she wasn't being serious.
On top of that, she was suggesting that there would eventually be a stronger foe.
As it is now, I can't protect myself or Bardia.
Then Fara grabbed my hand tightly and firmly.
"Don't worry, Master Rid will overco any difficulty. You have done so in the past, too, right? So I am sure you will be able to overco this ti as well. Besides, I will do whatever I can to help you."
"Fara ......"
Her hands were small and soft, but very warm.
Vague irritation mysteriously subsided, and I felt my mind at ease.
I found myself staring at her.
"Or maybe ...... I can't help you?"
Farah's ears drop and she turns over with a shrug as she says this.
I shook my head hurriedly.
'No, no, I don't think so. It was very encouraging,......, you know, I was just admiring it or sothing."
Now Fara's cheeks and redden and her ears begin to flap up and down a little. But she soon huffed and puffed.
And then she turns her head down, holding those ears back.
'Oh my God, ...... Master Rid always catches off guard."
"Haha ......."
I feel the heavy atmosphere suddenly lighten up with the smiling exchange with her.
But, as Fara said, what we do is the sa as before.
Whatever the evil that cos, if I need to protect what I love, if I need strength to face the hardships, I have no choice but to improve myself.
"Thank you, Fara. Thanks to you, I feel much better."
"Yes?"
After smiling at her puzzled look, I called out to Diana and Capella.
Hey, what was your impression of Lelie and Rosen when you dealt with them? If you have any concerns, I'd like you to tell anything.'
'Yes, that's right. The 'Rosen' I dealt with was ......."
Diana mumbled as she thought back, then wrinkled her brow and revealed her disgust.
A bit scary.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, I'd say ...... 'posh little shit.'
"...... what do you an?"
The sudden outburst was so out of character for her that everyone was stunned.
However, only Capella nodded in agreent.
Soon after, Diana coughed with a huff.
"I beg your pardon. He has no courtesy toward superiors and the opposite gender, and he is extrely rude and foul-mouthed. He was a very irritating fox man, whose every word and action offended people's nerves. Compared to them, Ovelia and Mia, who were here when they first arrived, are still considered polite."
"...... I see."
Wasn't that just a more specific term for 'posh little shit'? I thought so, but I didn't dare to plunge into it.
"Master Rid. May I begin?"
'Yes. Did Capella have sothing on your mind, too?"
He nodded with an indifferent expression on his face.
Yes. I was dealing with a girl nad Leelie , and her evaluation of my words and actions is generally the sa as Diana's. But when she looked at , she said, 'I feel the sa atmosphere as .'
I ditate and ponder, as I hamr out, "Hmmm ......."
When Claire, Leelie and Rosen first faced us, I'm pretty sure a girl nad 'Leelie' said sothing like that.
But still, Capella and Leelie and the others are in the sa mood? The two of them have completely different personalities and behaviors,......, but at that ti, an electric current ran through my brain.
"I see,......, that's what you an when saying they have similar atmospheres?"
I asked Capella to confirm, and he nodded his head.
"Yes. As Master Rid has guessed, perhaps the attackers this ti are not re thieves or rcenaries either."
"......It's more likely to be an intelligence unit belonging to the Fox People or an equivalent organization, is that right?"
When I ntioned the considerations I had co up with, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned grim.
