Chapter 216 – The Princess of the Fallen Kingdom (3)

“Quaaaaang! Dojinemon!”
“Help me!”

Do-jin, who was meditating in her room her, gave her a weird nickname, and she woke up from her meditation when she heard the voices of two people calling her.

It was n’t very pleasant to be awakened from her concentration by external stimuli. Perhaps it was because I had woken up from a deep dive into the inner sea, and I felt like I was going to get a psychological diving sickness.

“What is it?”

When he glared at the two with such a cold expression, Na-hee and Da-hee were taken aback, wondering if they had come to Do-jin at the wrong time.

Where does the cheerful voice that woke her Do-jin go, and her slightly frightened voice tickles her Do-jin’s ears.

“That, that…….”
“We, to the store… I-I came to ask you to let go of the guard…”

“… Security? What are the expenses again?”

After hearing his words of her, the two slowly talked about their story. Yesterday, an old man stopped by the store with a girl.

Since the old man was blind, the two responded kindly. She also had a cute little girl who followed him. Even when the old man asked for some women’s clothes, he refused to buy them for his granddaughter or daughter of his.

Until the old man did something to bury his head in his clothes his and make his clothes drool.

“What a perverted old man! Did you make all the clothes and just leave!?”
“No matter how much clean magic you have, how can you use the old man’s spittle!? Did you drool all over in front of people?”
“I threw away all those clothes… Next time this won’t happen, let the guard go.”

Surprisingly, what Nahee and Dahee came to say was a very reasonable request. Rather, it was surprising that there had been no security at the clothing store until now.

No matter how anti-theft magic is put on clothes… Didn’t you realize that, as in this case, it’s no problem for those who want to damage your clothes?

Dojin lightly nodded his head.

“I’ll give you more money, so ask the guild with it. They need an adventurer.”

“Eh? To the Adventurer’s Guild?”
“Not mercenaries or guards?”

“Where are the mercenaries in this city? All of them were adventurers but fell out for unavoidable reasons… The reason is most likely a loss of fighting power.”

The same goes for the guards. Even though there are good training grounds called dungeons, there are only those that are not used and remain at level 1.

It would cost a little more money, but it was better to hire level 2 adventurers who went beyond their limits and became superhuman.

“Just because you are an adventurer doesn’t mean you only hunt every day. Bet a few silver coins on the per diem and recruit them. It might cost you a few gold coins a month, but what….”

Do-jin was also starting to understand the strategy that Na-hee and Da-hee were doing.

Didn’t I see with my own eyes that everyone on the street was wearing clothes from the shop the two made, and an aristocrat who came from another country went straight to the shop to buy clothes made by the two?

Perhaps, if the future were like the two of them, they would be able to quickly make up for the few gold coins that went into their security.

“Do as you say. Understand?”

“Thank you!”
“Okay!”

He must have gotten permission from Do-jin, the money supply. The two had no qualms about wasting money. The two immediately ran to the adventurer’s guild and hired an adventurer as Do-jin said.

* * *

The old man walking down the street The old man’s eyes were closed. Even so, no one bumped into him.

Do people noticeably avoid the elderly? It wasn’t.
The old man’s ears, nose, and skin. It analyzes the sounds, smells, and winds that attack from all directions.

The analyzed results draw a 3D map of the brain of the elderly. Echolocation is more perfect than what you can see with your eyes.

Thanks to this, the old man bumping into someone doesn’t happen.

“… Grandfather.”
“I don’t know. Hey.”

The old man, who was walking along the alleyway, twitched his nose when he smelled something far away.

It seems that the girl he raised also caught it with an amazingly sensitive sense of smell.

It was the smell of a princess in the kingdom.

‘I thought you were trying to disturb my nose, but… That doesn’t seem to be the case.’

When he first entered this kingdom, the old man was horrified. Because the whole city smelled like a princess.

It’s unlikely, but it made me think that everyone was wearing the clothes worn by the princess.

Thanks to this, the request that should have been completed immediately was still sluggish.

‘I guess they don’t know that if I leave the smell and erase the presence, it will rather float.’

Fortunately, the old man was able to find her princess her. It was a long journey. The old man and the girl, who had been sniffing the two of them moving in the distance, followed slowly.

The princess and her maid hid their traces as if they were conscious of being pursued by someone.

Without even knowing that the act leaves more traces.

‘Now.’

The old man, realizing that there was no one in front of the princess, took a shortcut and passed them in front of them. And walked the opposite way.

I walk very slowly from here. Like a really blind old man and his granddaughter his helping him.

There are no people who are wary of all old disabled people and young girls. Even if it is a royal escort trained to be wary of everything, the same is true.

’10, 8, 7, 5 meters.’

This side walks slowly, the other side approaches slightly faster.
Measure each other’s distance and calculate the perfect timing.
The old man’s hand fiddles with the tip of the cane. His body His is ready to kick off.

‘Pick-!’
“Who is this?”

Clack- The old man heard a voice coming from far away and quickly inserted his cane. He then slowly left the place, unable to contain his astonishment.

‘What is this….’

I don’t know who the owner of the voice is, but I didn’t notice until he approached.

Considering that the old man’s intuition was superior to that of most animals, it was something that could not be taken lightly.

In other words, the owner of the voice also meant that the owner of the skill was as good as the old man.

“Baby.”
“Yes….”
“Take a good look.”

The old man pulled a piece of metal from his bosom and pointed it at the face of his man behind them. The man’s face contained in that small piece of metal was clearly remembered by the child.

“Did you remember?”
“I did.”
“Good job.”

Later, the wind picks up and blows at the two. It was a refreshing natural scent.

There was only one reason why it smelled like that in the middle of the city. Elf.

‘Yes, if it’s an elf, I might not notice the approach.’

The curious thing is, what relationship did the princess have with the elf? I couldn’t figure it out, but it didn’t really matter.

“Let’s go to the inn.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”

There were plenty of opportunities to kill anyway. The old man headed to the inn where the princess had left. And he rented the room next to the princess, which was heavily smelt.

Assassination was an art that unfolded after a tedious wait.

For the old man, who had lived as an assassin, waiting wasn’t too difficult.

* * *

Do-jin, who was heading home after hunting in the dungeon, found a familiar hood and ran towards it.

Seeing it up close, it was even clearer. The two were the blonde and the lady-in-waiting whom Do-jin had previously met.

“I’ll meet you all here.”

Seeing Do-jin’s face, the two people were started and stopped slightly. It is said that the first meeting with Do-jin was because the princess accidentally took off the hood, but isn’t he wearing the hood like this now?

There would be no way he could come like this, but the fact that he came like this was that there was a high probability that Do-jin was an assassin.

“… Girl, behind me.”
“Yu, nanny-.”

The two slowly stepped back, wary of Dojin. Looking at the two, Dojin tilted his head and approached.

“I have a question for you.”

“Now-! Run away! Miss!”

And at that moment, the nanny rushed at her, and the princess fled across the alleyway. When Do-jin was lost in his absurd appearance, the nanny blocked Do-jin’s path.

“Come on, Assassin! You won’t be able to lay a finger on her!”

“… No, I am not an assassin.”

“What are you talking about- Then why did you come here!?”

“And, even if I’m an assassin, is it right to leave him alone?”

“… Ugh.”

Only then did the lady-in-waiting, realizing her mistake her, began to fidget, not knowing what to do. If Do-jin had a colleague, the princess without any power would be brutally assassinated.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
“I-I can’t send you to the lady….”
“Even if I’m not an assassin?”

To prove that he was not an assassin, Do-jin approached her maid and took her dagger her from her hand her. Then he pointed it right at her neck.

The handmaiden, who had been subdued in less than a second, stiffened and glared at her Do-jin, and Do-jin returned her dagger as it was, enjoying the gaze and glaring at her.

“Now, if I were the assassin, I would have killed you here and followed him to death, right? But don’t you? Then it has been proven that I am not an assassin, right?”

“… Then why did you come to us?”

“You said you had something to ask.”

While meeting, Do-jin wondered if the two of them really didn’t like the clothes and threw them away or if there was another reason. But then he ran away.

Realizing that he had the skills to kill herself in an instant and pursue her princess her, the nanny obediently ran out in search of her princess her.

Like a princess who has never exercised properly in her life her, while the two of them were talking, she was panting while leaning against the wall.

“-Miss.”
“Yoo, yoo oh… Hee! Behind, behind!”
“It’s okay. … I have confirmed that he is not a dangerous person.”

Of course, if her judgment of her were wrong, they would both die on this spot—but the nanny believed her own judgment of her.

Seeing his skills of her, it was great to think that no matter what he did, he was dead anyway. What can he do with such an overwhelming skill that he can neither escape nor resist?

After hearing what her nanny said, the princess asked Do-jin with a slightly trembling voice.

“… Uh, what’s going on?”
“No, I have a question.”
“Yeah, what… ?”
“Why did you throw away your clothes?”
“Ah… That’s it… ?”

The princess looked up at Dojin with eyes asking if she was blocking their way just to ask that one thing.

It was as if they had no idea that he had saved their lives.

However, when I tried to explain the reason, I was overcome with unknown emotions.

“… Oh, there is no closet.”
“What?”
“I don’t have a closet….”

It was a word that Dojin could not understand. What? Throwing away clothes because there is no closet?

No closet to put clothes in, but enough money to spend gold coins on clothes?

‘These guys…….’

Hearing that, Do-jin realized that the two were nobles on the run.

It was the so-called ruined aristocracy.
