"How can you just run away and leave me here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said it again, looking at me.

　Abandonment is the lamest thing ............!

　Well, I have no loyalty to this country or this prince, but I'm not that kind of a person.

　The wicked women of the past won't stand for it. If I do that, I'm sure the ghosts of evil women will come to stab me while I'm sleeping.

I don't want to die either. I'll help you even if you don't want me to.

　All three of them looked at me as if they didn't understand what I was saying.

"Anyway, I'd rather die instead of the prince than be such a coward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's that? ......, or at least be prepared to die for his highness."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, yes. I'm part of the team protecting Victor now. What are we protecting if not the prince?

　Captain Marius' words make me think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, this is the kind of guy. You can trust him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Trustworthy, I like that word. It makes me feel like I'm accepted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are many people you can't trust, even if you've known them for a long time.

"If the prince is in mortal danger, I'll save him with a snicker."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this forcefully, making a crisp, serious face. At the same time I said those words, a big fist fell on my head.

"Ouch!"

　Victor, you forgot I'm a woman.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She's such a strong woman, you know?　I could hit you so hard your head would bleed, couldn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... this makes me sound like a masochist.

"Prince, don't forget. The little guy is blind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor knows I can see everything just fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't let him be the first one to dive in the lake.

　My visibility is not very good, but I can see enough to get a general idea of what's going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not so much the eyes that bother me, but the fact that I'm wearing watery clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... and I hate to say it, but Captain Marius and Ceres are a bit slow, too. I wouldn't be surprised if they find out that I'm blind or that I'm a woman.

"The kid who fought the lion. When he dies, there'll be an apocalypse."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a compliment, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

""Indeed.""

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Captain Marius and Ceres' voices overlap.

"So, which way are you going?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Which do you prefer?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't want to go to the one with water, because I don't want to go to the one with water anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... water?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor frowns at my words. The other two men tilt their heads slightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can hear the sound of running water coming from this side of the road.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He points to the road on the right. They listen intently, but seem not to hear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......I knew my hearing was definitely getting better the day I gave my one eye to Uncle Will. I have Uncle Will to thank for that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't hear you, but if you can hear me, there must be water on this road."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I guess when you can't see, you develop a sense of hearing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Captain Marius looks at me intently, as if impressed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, we'll go this way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor turns his feet to the right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I said I don't like the water better."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's why we're going."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor's like that. I'd forgotten.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He slumps his shoulders and glances at the prince.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have a really good personality."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I get that a lot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He grins happily, but I am not at all pleased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You guys should live."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor said this and started to walk away. I hurried after him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if what he said before was his way of showing consideration for his men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cave is dark, but I recognize Victor's blond hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am glad he is blonde. If I lose him, I can find him easily.
