　Arrows flying at a tremendous speed.

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

　They were fired by the beastmen soldiers under the command of Mr. Jinya.

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

　Oh no!　Aruk-san doesn't have a sword now, so he can't block the arrows!　If the target is only me and Mr. Arc, I'll block it!

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

　I decide so, and at the same time I deploy my right hand basket hand, and pour my magic power into it as hard as I can.

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

　My body becomes heavier because I used more magic power than I had used in order to heal Kanoko-san, but I thrust my palm forward without caring about it.

"Healing Magic Bursting Palm!　

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

　The shockwave of healing magic released from my palm became a wall and repelled the arrows.

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

　It repelled most of the arrows, but I noticed that some arrows were out of the range of my bursting palm.

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

　The arrow is shot at the wrong place for me and Mr. Aruk.

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

　However, I quickly realize where the arrow is headed, and I stick out my hand and grab the arrow.

"......!"

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

　The arrowhead I had stopped was pointing toward the sleeping Kanoko-san.

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

　Why was the arrow aimed at Amako's mother?　If I hadn't prevented it, it would have hit her head.

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

　...... Maybe you shot it by mistake?

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

　No, how could a beastman with such keen senses miss an arrow at this distance?

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

　I raised my voice and turned to Jinya.

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

"You almost hit Mr. Kanoko!　You even aim your arrows at your own kind!

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

　Jinya's expression did not change at the sound of my voice.

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

　It was as if he was saying he didn't care if the arrow hit Mr. Kanoko.

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

　...... Indeed, Jinya's words were right, the arrows were not aimed at Amako and Hayate.

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

　As soon as I came to that thought, my thoughts were instantly tinged with anger.

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

　I mean, I mean. As long as the arrows don't hit Amako and Hayate, that's all that matters. Does that mean that I don't care if Amako's bedridden mother dies?

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

　The arrowhead of the arrow you grabbed smells sweet. It smells like the poison of the evil dragon we fought before .......

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

"...... They even use poison?"

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

　I wouldn't have a problem with it because the poison is not at the level of an evil dragon, but if a bedridden Kanoko-san were to be hit by it, she might die instantly.

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

　I was so angry at the unreasonable attack that I broke all the arrows in my grasp and stared at Jinya-san and the beastmen soldiers.

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

　The beastmen soldiers were upset by my stare, and held up their arrows, but Hayate stepped in front of us as if to intercept them.

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

"Jinya!　What are you doing bringing a Kingsguard with you!　They are not people who mean us harm!　You understood that in our discussion earlier!

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

"That's not the point. I finally have a chance. I can't let it pass me by.

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

"Chance ......?"

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

　At Hayate's words, Jinya-san stared at us and continued to weave his words.

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

"As of today, we beastmen have formed an alliance with the demon tribe.

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

"What?

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

　Alliance with the demon tribe?

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

　The unexpected words startled him.

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

What are you talking about?　Are you trying to involve the whole beastmen tribe in a direct war?　No, more importantly, is that the consensus of the chiefs of the Beastmen tribe!

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

"Of course it's agreed. We've got the power. And the demon tribe has offered to cooperate with us ....... How can we not take advantage of this?

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

"Jinya ......!"

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

　The demons were here before we got here?

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

　If so, we've been lured into enemy territory. We are lucky that Hayate is on our side, but ...... the situation is worse. We have to find a way to escape.

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

"The chiefs will not agree so easily. What the hell are you offering ......!"

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

Power. I'm doing what's necessary for that.

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

　Jinya replied to Hayate's words and shifted his gaze to Amako.

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

"Hand over Amako."

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

"......!"

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

　Amako hides behind me as if frightened.

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

　I have no intention of turning Amaco in. In fact, why should I hand him over to these people?

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

　......With this many of them, I should be able to get away if I have to.

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

　I'm going to use my healing magic to distract them, and while they're distracted, I'm going to use my healing punch to stun the soldier with the beastman bow in front of me, and then I'm going to take Amako and Kanoko and escape with Arc and Hayate.

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

　I might get hit by some arrows, but I'll be fine.

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

　If necessary, I will hit Jinya-san, who is in command, with a series of healing eye blows or healing punches to make him unconscious.

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

　Okay, here we go.

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

　I took one look at Mr. Arc and was about to hold Amako when an arrow was shot toward me.

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

　I reflexively ducked and looked in the direction of the arrow to see Jinya-san, whose calm expression had changed drastically, holding his bow and glaring at me.

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

"Don't move from there!　Healing wizard!　Move and I'll kill Kanoko!

"......!"

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

　You bastard! You're holding a sick man hostage!

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

　And he shot an arrow at us before we've even taken action! Did they know what I would do?　Does he have the ability like Mr. Halfa's magical vision that I fought with in Lukvis?　If so, I don't know if I can protect Ms. Kanoko from the poisonous arrows that will be shot at her.

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

　On the other hand, I'm confident that I can force my way through the attack, but I can't put Mr. Kanoko in danger. We are holding Mr. Kanoko hostage.

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

　But..,

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

"I'm not going to give up Amaco without a fight. ......!"

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

　If Jinya's goal is Amako, we can't leave her alone.

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

　Don't get emotional, think calmly. I can't protect her if he takes Amako.

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

　...... is right.

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

　I put my hand over my mouth in frustration and whisper to Nair on my shoulder, keeping my voice as low as possible.

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

"Neah, take care of Amaco."

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

　Neah nodded silently, bounced lightly and moved to Amako's shoulder next to her.

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

　Fortunately, Jinya and the others did not notice.

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

　Letting Nair remain as an owl had paid off. Now Amako will not be left alone. Worst case scenario, if Néa's cover is blown, she should be able to escape easily.

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

　I look at Jinya-san without looking at Néa.

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

"I'm not going to be rough with her. She is very important to us."

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

"...... can't believe it."

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

　You and Mr. Kanoko, after your extreme action of trying to kill us with poisoned arrows, you don't want to harm us?　What you're saying and what you're doing are absurd.

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

　And when I talked to you earlier, you told me to get out of this country.

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

　I have no idea what he is trying to do.

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

What is he doing with Amaco?

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

"He's going to help us with something. As soon as he's done, we'll let him go."

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

　Let them go?

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

　No, you didn't answer the more important question.

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

　What's this "thing" you're talking about?

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

　While I was thinking, trying not to show it on my face, Hayate-san, who was standing diagonally in front of me, ran toward Jinya-san in anger and grabbed him by the chest.

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

　I called out his name in a panic.

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

"Hayate-san!

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

"Don't be silly!　Are you going to restart your research again?　And this time with Amako!

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

"I don't think so. I told you before, didn't I?　I'm just doing what's necessary for me. Besides, the purpose is different this time.

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

What does that mean?

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

Konoe, hold Hayate down.

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

"Let go of me, Koo ...... Jinyaa!"

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

　Hayate is pinned down by the Kondo soldiers and stares angrily at Jinya.

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

　Unable to leave Kanoko-san's side, we could do nothing but watch the scene.

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

　Mr. Jinya, who had Mr. Hayate restrained by Kondo, looked at us again.

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

"If you move, we will have to take appropriate measures. If you are captured quietly, we will spare your and Kanoko's lives.

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

"......"

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

　In other words, surrender and I'll spare your life.

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

　That's very suspicious.

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

　Jinya-san must not be so disciplined as to keep his promise for the time being. And since we're human, we have no obligation or duty to keep that promise.

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

　While I was thinking about how to get out of this situation, Amako, who had been lying face down silently from before, stepped in front of me and Aruk-san.

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

"Okay. In return, you must keep your promise.

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

　Amako, who had taken the other party's condition on her own accord, made Nair on her shoulder tremble as if she had been startled.

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

　I myself am so surprised that I immediately grab his shoulder.

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

"Amako!"

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

I'm fine!

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

"I'm fine? How can I be fine?

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

　But when she turned around and I saw the look on her face, I was absolutely mortified.

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

　His face is expressionless, but he is angry. She was angry, but in a way that was unusual for her.

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

　Amako took one look at me as I stood motionless in front of Ms. Kanoko, and let out a shriek.

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

"I found something I ...... have to do in this country."

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

"What do you have to do ......?"

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

"...... yeah."

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

　If he has found something, does that mean he knows what he is looking for?

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

　Or has he made up his mind?

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

　Amako looked up at me, still confused, and with a determined expression on her face, she turned back to Jinya-san behind her.

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

"Leave everyone alone, I'll listen to you ......."

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

"Thank goodness you're so attentive. It was going to take a lot of work to catch this guy. ...... grab those two humans over there."

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

　Jinya-san took his hand off the bow and instructed his men to seize me and Aruk-san.

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

　Aruk and I were held down and our hands were tied with ropes.

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

　While being seized, I stared at Mr. Jinya with eyes filled with anger.

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

"I don't care what you do, and I don't want to know!　I don't care what you do, and I don't want to know!　If anything happens to her, we ...... will not forgive you!"

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

"Terrible. It's really horrible. When the plan that was supposed to end in a discussion went awry, I wondered what I was going to do, but I was relieved to be captured with the hostages I had ...... prepared for insurance."

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

"Ku ......!"

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

　I have no idea what Mr. Jinya is talking about.

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

　But I'm sure that he invited us here with the intention of betraying us and Hayate from the very beginning. And we were caught in the trap.

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

　Our hands were completely bound, and we were taken away by the soldiers of the Kingsguard, and we had no choice but to leave Amako.

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

I was taken away by the soldiers of the Kingsguard and had to leave Amako.　

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

　After Jinya's capture, Alc and I were kept in a basement jail in the first large building we stepped into.

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

　It was a dimly lit room made of cobblestones and wood.

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

　In the same cell, wooden shackles made of wood joined with iron were placed on the arms of Mr. Alc and I. We were both held in the same cell, and we were both held in the same room.

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

"......I never thought I'd be put in jail."

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

　It's been about three hours since I was put in jail, isn't it?

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

　I've been in jail before because of Ferrum, but I never thought I'd be locked up.

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

　I can move about a little freely, but the wooden and iron shackles on my arms make it more inconvenient than I thought it would be. And I don't know if it's this prison or these shackles, but I can't use magic.

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

　For me, who can only use healing magic, it doesn't have much effect, but for Aruk-san, who mainly uses fire magic, it must be a nuisance.

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

　I lift up the fetters with dismay, and they seem to be very old.

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

　...... can break it if they want to.

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

"Well, I wouldn't now. Besides, there's something wrong with this place too."

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

　The inside of the prison was dusty and hardly used, and the only guard was a tense-looking beastman soldier standing across the cage.

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

"......! Don't look at me!"

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

　I casually stared at the guard, and he yelled at me, his voice shaking.

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

　He seemed to be very nervous because he was not used to dealing with human .......

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

　I let out a sigh and lean my back against the wall of the prison.

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

"I hope Amako is okay. ......"

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

　Even if she surrendered because she had something in mind, Amako would be nothing more than a little girl without her precognition magic.

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

　The thought that she might be in danger makes my heart clench with anxiety.

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

"I believe that Amako-sama had something in mind when she did what she did."

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

"So ...... would. I don't think she's thinking about anything."

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

　I nodded to Aruk's words.

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

　At present, we do not know what Amako is thinking. But from our experience of traveling together, I am sure that it is not meaningless. That's why Mr. Aruk and I are staying here quietly without any violence.

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

"And then there's Hayate-dono."

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

"......Hayate, unlike us, you are from the beastman side,...... so I'm worried that you might have been treated like a traitor for siding with us, and that you might have been treated badly."

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

"Yes, considering what happened to Jinya-dono, it's not surprising what they did to him."

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

　Hayate-san was on our side in that situation.

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

　He cared about Amako a lot, and I hope she is safe.

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

　But there is nothing we can do now that we are trapped.

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

"...... We'll have to wait and see how things go for a while."

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

"Yes."

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

　Cross-legged, staring at the mouse-colored ceiling.

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

　Yes, now we wait and see. First, we wait for contact from Amaco or Nair. If we don't hear from them in three days, we move.

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

"......It's been a long time since I've been in jail.

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

"Is that so? ...... What?

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

　Wait a minute, what do you mean Aruk-san is in jail?

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

　In an instant, my consciousness is pulled back to reality, and I turn toward the laughing Mr. Aruk.

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

"Well, it's more like a cell than a jail.

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

"I'd be surprised if it was solitary confinement. I didn't have an image of Aruk-san being put in a place like that. ......"

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

"That's a bit much. I used to be quite a troublemaker myself. I can't even count on two fingers the number of times I've been thrown in solitary confinement for getting into an altercation with a coworker and having to spend the night reflecting on it.

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

"Well, to be honest, ...... I can't imagine that at all."

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

"Ha ha ha ......"

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

　It is quite a surprise that Aruk, who is polite, serious, a good cook, and a good fighter, had such a period of time.

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

　After that, as we were exchanging some idle conversation to drown our fears, we heard some footsteps coming from the stairs leading to the ground level.

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

　I stopped the conversation and looked toward the stairs, and what I saw was Hayate-san coming down the stairs, bound by two beast soldiers. Hayate, who was being carried helplessly by the soldiers, was shackled and placed in the same prison cell as the rest of us.

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

　If you look closely, you can see blood around his mouth and his cheeks are swollen.

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

"Hayate-san, are you all right?

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

"Uh-uh. ......"

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

　I glare at the soldiers who brought him here.

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

　The soldiers look away and hurry back to the ground.

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

"They only brought me here according to Jinya's orders. Don't blame them too much."

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

　Hayate got up, holding her painfully swollen cheek.

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

　If my healing magic hadn't been blocked, I could have healed his wounds. .......

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

"I owe you guys an apology.

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

　Hayate's expression turned bitter as she got down on her knees, almost crashing to the ground despite the fetters she was wearing.

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

"I'm sorry!　I brought you all to Jinya, and that's the worst thing I could have done. ......!"

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

"Worst thing?　Hayate, what the hell is Jinya trying to do?

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

　Hayate raised her head and clenched her fists tightly in anger.

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

"I was under the impression that the research on Kanoko had failed. But in fact, it wasn't. The results of Kanoko's research were different from what I had expected, but it was a success. But no one knew about it except one person."

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

"Except one. ...... No way."

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

"Yeah, Jinya."
