The carriage was dismantled in the blink of an eye, and the horse and Gosha fled for their lives.

　The sudden attack of the golem, which he thought he had shaken off, caused the man to cower as if his earlier momentum was a lie.

　It seemed to be a place with few people, but still, there were many witnesses. While people were screaming from the crowd, I asked A1 to cut the cord off and stood up.

"d*mn it.....I can't get up....

　He looks down at the frightened man and wonders what is going on. This man is like a terrorist targeting the nobility. However, I can understand why.

　If you listen to what I just said, you'd even think that it wouldn't be a problem if the people you're taking revenge on are all the vicious aristocrats who have abused their slaves.

　But if they're targeting all the nobles, then the innocent, sensible nobles are bound to be killed as well.

　After all, they just tried to kill me right now.

　I'm not sure how he caught me troubled, but he quickly drew a knife from his waist.

　He then pointed the tip of the blade at his own throat.

"S-stop!

　When I hurriedly stopped him, A1 grabbed the man's arm and physically stopped him. As expected of A1, he was very competent.

'Kill this! I will not succumb to torture! There's no point in trying to get him to confess!

　A man shouting at me with a desperate look on his face. Is he trying to die so as not to bother his friends? He's so desperate that I'm going to look like the bad guy to those around me.

...Good. Let's talk about this in a calm manner for now. People have been gathering since a while ago, so let's go outside, shall we?

　As he said this, the man's face turned white with blood.

''W-where are you taking me! Let go of me! Kill me!

　And then he let A1 carry the half-crazed man, and got out of the broken carriage, gathering frightened glances from around him.

'Master Taiki!

　I saw Eira and Yuri running from across the street and raised one hand.

'Yo, good........! What would I do if something happened to Master Taiki?

I'm so glad you're safe.

　I apologize and thank them both for breathing on my shoulder and open my mouth as I walk away.

''It sounds like you had a good aim. But if you get hit that vividly at a time when Aifa isn't around, you're going to be overwhelmed. I couldn't keep up with your reaction.''

　When I chuckled as I said that, they made a difficult face as they followed diagonally behind me.



'You're lucky Master Taiki isn't upset, aren't you, kidnapper? You'll be turned into charcoal, won't you?

'No, no, Mr. Yuri. Don't make me sound like the devil...

　Yuri's line caused the man to turn blue and freeze on A1's shoulder. As I was protesting, returning a bitter smile at the scene, a straight-faced Aifa flew through the air towards us.

''........Are you okay?''

　Checking our appearance, Aifa swooped down and muttered that.

''Aifa-sama, you're late.

　Yuri laughs, and Aifa lowers her head with a dark expression.

''........I have no words. At the very least, I'll make those insolent people there talk.''

　I shook my head from side to side, shuddering along with the man at the lines said in Aifa's cold voice.

'Dude, it's okay. I'll take care of that for you.

Okay.

　Aifa nodded disapprovingly.

　By the way, unfortunately, because we were exposed to too many people, we decided not to stay at the inn that Aifa had chosen, and we went out of town again to escape.






　When I told you how it happened, Leticia snorted with a troubled face.

''........I see. I didn't understand why you brought them to me there, but I understood the circumstances.

　I nodded at Leticia's words and pointed at the man sitting on the Buddha's face. The man is staring at us with a look of determination, as if he has cooled down after some time has passed.

　While smiling at the situation, he brings his face to Leticia.

''Thank you. If you want, but can you tell this man that we're not bad nobles? I don't want you to think that they're going to keep coming after you, so I'm going to make sure you clear up any misunderstandings before you leave.

　When I said that to Leticia in a small voice, her eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then a small giggle came back.

''Huh. So that's how it is. It is true that you are foolishly gentle to try to free someone who tried to kill you and then immediately set you free, I think you are a foolishly gentle person. It doesn't make me feel good to keep you misunderstood like that, either.

　And my request was easily granted. I'm thankful for that, but I can't help but feel a little dismayed.

　As I twisted my head around, Letitia stood up silently and walked past me.

　Then Letitia turned to the man and sat down, stared at him from the front, and swung her hand out of the air.

　With a good sound, Leticia's slap explodes.

''Bi, slap...?''

　The unexpected blow blindsided not only me, but everyone who was there.

　The man who was spanked on the cheek froze for a moment, but gradually realized what he had been done and fished his eyes up.

''Wha, what are you doing...!

　Not taking her eyes off the man who was yelling at her in a dossy voice, Leticia yelled back even louder.

'Shut up!'

　The power of this makes my back straighten involuntarily.

'You think you're on the side of vengeance and justify everything you do. But that's a mistake.

　By contrast, Letitia spoke out quietly, as if to admonish.

'Hey, what's the mistake! I will have my revenge on the nobility! What's wrong with going back on what was done to you!

　The man yelled at her with a fierce swordsmanship, and Leticia slapped him silently.

　The slap burst out again, making a good sound.

'I am speaking. I will not allow you to talk back.'

　When Leticia said that with a snap, the man's eyes were blackened and he fell silent.

''Scary.''

　I couldn't help but mutter at Leticia's power. Looking at her, Eira also subtly shook her shoulders.

''She did something terrible to me, so I'm going to get back at her. I can understand that. I'm sure you also have an inexplicable hatred and resentment. But is this person really this person? Has Lord Taiki, who heals fallen children and gives alms to hungry people, done something terrible to you?

What, the cure? Alms? Ugh, lie! These guys are from the Legion of........

　A slap sounded, and the man was silenced again.

'I'm still talking,'

　When Leticia tells him that, the man almost cries for a moment.

　Leticia, in preaching mode, was terribly scared.
