Chapter 492 – The Girl and the Kidnapping?

000

As they walk away while soothing a crying girl, the two arrive at a small, old store in an alleyway.

At the slightly sweet smell wafting from inside, Galatea involuntarily felt her throat tingle.

“Here!”

Then, when the girl holding hands with the two pointed to the store like that, Galatea turned to Caliburn.

“In the end, I came all the way here to buy the dumplings… Caliburn, do you have money from the East?”

“There’s no way a holy sword can carry money~ What about Galatea?”

“No, me too…”

Then, the two of them shut up for a moment and look back at the girl.

It was impossible for her to come all the way here and say, ‘I can’t buy one because I don’t have money’ to her, who was waiting as if she wanted to go in quickly, blinking her eyes.

“Now, wait a minute.”

After Galatea tells her this, she puts her head together with Caliburn and whispers:

“What should I do… Tell me the circumstances and ask for credit? Shouldn’t it be possible to sell the name of the mistress of that company?”

Looking at Galatea casually trying to sell her name her, Caliburn shook her head.

“No matter how good the two of you are, wouldn’t that be… Too selfish?”

“Then what should I do? If I send her back like this, she’ll cry again…!”

“I’d rather call Cleon here…?”

The moment we were talking to each other while saying that.

“Hey, is this right?”

“No, that’s right bro.”

Hearing the sudden thick voices of men, Caliburn and Galatea slightly stood up and looked in that direction.

Then, there, I saw a big, tough man, followed by several men with a rough impression, crouching in front of the store they were trying to enter.

They were just staring at the cafe, not paying attention to Galatea and Caliburn, who were a little further away from the cafe.

Exposing his thick, muscular arms his, he strode off, looked over the store from top to bottom, and snorted.

“Heh. There’s no way this ruined cafe has anything to do with the Amryong Chamber.”

“That’s right, big brother!?”

The man, who is called Big Brother, spat on the street with a ‘tweak’ and then walked to the store.

“…What is that guy?”

“Okay~”

Both Galatea and Caliburn frowned as they looked at them who suddenly appeared, but soon the man reached the girl who was waiting for Galatea and Caliburn in front of the store.

“What is this little boy?”

“Uh, what’s wrong…? The child of the owner of this coffee shop?”

When the girl blinked her eyes at the grown-up who approached her, the man casually raised an arm as thick as the girl’s torso-

As it is, if you try to hit her down on her.

Booung! As his arms swung around, a loud voice called ‘Get out of the way!’

Kwajik!

The next moment, when he thought his arm his was caught, neither his men nor the giant could hide their surprised faces.

Although she was certainly tall, Caliburn, who looked like a slender woman no matter how she looked at it, was still holding onto the giant’s arm.

“What, what are you?”

“Because I was dumbfounded, my body moved first~ You tried to hit a child who was still, right?”

As usual, her mouth and eyes her had a smile on her lips, but when she talked like that in a somewhat cold atmosphere, the wings of light growing from her back her fluttered and pushed the man’s arm back.

At the same time, if it was the power possessed by divine magic, or if the group of light scattered from Caliburn’s body she reached the girl behind her, the girl calmed down and fell asleep at the same time. It was to wind up.

As if asleep.

“Kuh, what kind of power…”

“Tongue, brother? You don’t have to look at me as a woman!”

Somehow, the subordinates shouted as if they thought the man was looking after Caliburn, but the man shouted with a frown on his face as if his pride his was hurt by the expectations of such subordinates.

“I know you guys!”

And, it seems that he intended to hit Caliburn this time with his other remaining hand his.

Next moment-

“Mana Shock!”

The black lightning flew in a straight line generating sparks, and it pierced the man’s back.

Then, as black mana spreads throughout the man’s body, the man screams ‘Keah!’ And feels his body his paralyzed…

“…Huh? It doesn’t hurt that much.”

Unexpectedly, feeling that her body was fine, she looked down at his hand her, and the back side of her aimed at herself-

He looks at Galatea, who is bewildered while pointing his finger at him.

“Uh, uh. Magic isn’t normal, so is magic like that…?”

The magic used in the smaller body also seemed to have weakened.

A vein sprouted from the man’s forehead, and he spoke to Galatea as it was.

“Are you a stranger kid? I see you’re on the same team as this woman… Hey! You guys take care of that kid!”

“Yes, yes! Brother!”

“Kuh-kuh… I want this girl…”

But the next moment, the man felt something sticking deep in his stomach, and he immediately floated up in excruciating pain.

“──!?”

The woman who was holding onto herself immediately lifted her knees and lifted the man’s stomach.

“I don’t think you have the skills to handle me.”

Carly Burn, who physically subdued the man with a relaxed voice, broke the man’s arm that was still holding on to him and dislocated his shoulder from her.

“The human body is weak.”

And when the fallen man foams at his mouth in pain, I push him on the back with my foot.

“Is Galatea okay?”

“Yes I’m fine.”

And when I leisurely turned to Galatea, I could see Galatea wiping her hands with all the thugs paralyzed.

“Was that an act to catch the enemy off guard?”

When he pointed out that the magic had not worked right before, Galatea shrugged his shoulders.

“Even if it’s a weak magic, it hurts if you shoot it directly at the body from zero distance.”

When the reverberation of the magic power remaining at the tip of his hand his sparks a black spark, he shakes his hand to shake it off.

“Did you put the child to sleep? Well done. Such a violent scene will not help a young human to form a character.”

“Are you worried about this and that?”

“Yeah, I don’t hate anyone.”

If Galatea and Caliburn were talking for a while while thinking about what to do with the paralyzed men.

With a trudging sound, a bearded man, one head taller than the giant Caliburn had just defeated, was holding a bag in both hands and looking at the place where the two were standing.

“…What is it? What happened while I was away from the store for a while because the ingredients ran out?”

001

With a clicking sound, a teacup is placed on top of the desk.

When the warm and slightly bitter taste fills the mouth with a calming aroma, Caliburn smiled as she let out a warm breath.

“I’m sorry~ Even we were treated well~”

“No. It’s okay. I punished the guy for trying to do bad things to the store… More than anything.”

The owner of the shop, Lionel, smiled and stroked the dark-haired girl with a dumpling in her mouth.

“Because this kid could have been in danger too.”

“Well, if it’s that level of idiots, we won’t be able to deal with them.”

Galatea, too, puts the same dumplings into her mouth as the girl is holding in her mouth her, while she fully enjoys the sweet and chewy taste.

The scoundrels were aiming for a break when Lionel was gone, who had been away for a while.

But luckily, Caliburn and Galatea subdued them, and thanks to that, the shop was also safe.

Lionel, who grasped his circumstances, contacted the government forces to arrest the fallen criminals.

Instead of fighting, they decided to serve tea and snacks.

“You, too, shouldn’t wander around too much. I told Illenu to go back when I brought the dumplings…”

“Illenu, you’re still sleeping.”

The girl looked at her own dumpling her while answering that.

“Well. Since you’re working through the night, it’s okay to sleep during the day. Since you’re a child, you should go to bed early and wake up early, okay?”

“Yes-.”

After looking at the two people talking like her grandfather and granddaughter for a moment, Caliburn tilts her head.

“Illenu… If Illenu, isn’t that the person Cleon talked about yesterday?”

“Right…”

Galatea, too, looks at her girl her, with her impression her crumpled at the name her.

“Then this child…”

“What is it, you guys know that guy- Ah, that’s right. Are you his colleague his?”

Lionel nods his head as if he finally understands.

“In the end, we will meet like this.”

Galatea sticks out her mouth as she stretches out her foot as if she is fed up with ‘fate’.

“Looks like it was a coincidence that we met … Yesterday the guy told me he could take care of this kid … Her Emma. Did you hear that already?”

“Yes, that’s right! This child was Emma! It really seems like destiny~!”

Caliburn rather finds her fate her amusing as she holds her hand her and she smiles.

“Well. If it’s talked about, you can tell it to Illenu later. That child is also timid, but she seems to be worried about leaving Emma in her dorm.”

Lionel smiles as if he is happy and talks to Emma.

“You’re fine too.”

“?”

But Emma just tilts her head, as if it’s hard to understand what her grown-ups’ stories mean.

And then.

With my daughter! The door of the store opened with a bell ringing, and a tired, silver-haired woman entered the store.

“Haha…!”

Did she come running? She paused for a moment with her hands on her wall, breathing heavily and then—

“I, manager… Emma, ​​are you… Here… !”

“Oh, Illenu. Yes, here you are.”

Lionel glanced back at Illenu, who had come to visit him, got up, walked to the counter, poured cold water, and handed it to Illenu.

“Ruler.”

“Go, thank you…”

Illenu drank the water Lionel gave her and walked towards Emma, ​​sighing in relief and stroking her hair her.

“Emma! I told you not to go out on your own!”

“Mi-sorry, Illenu…”

After torturing Emma’s head to the fullest, Illenu’s gaze naturally turns toward Galatea and Caliburn.

Then, naturally, Illenu and Galatea’s eyes met, and Illenu’s face became started as if he noticed something.

“You, Cleon’s…?”

“What is it? I recognize it right away. As expected, Cleon’s magical power must be memorable.”

Galatea shrugs her shoulders, and her face slightly blushes at her words.

If it’s the reason she’s memorable, it’s because she’s also expected.

“They helped Emma and brought her here. Say thank you.”

“That’s right… Thank you.”

Illenu obediently bowed her head at Lionel’s words to her, and Galatea looked at Illenu with a bored expression.

“So? As you may have heard from Cleon yesterday, he seems to have an intention to solve the kid’s neglect. Even though you said no.”

“That, that’s because it seems like he was just trying to decide on his own…”

At Galatea’s words her, Illenu lowered her head while muttering that this side had circumstances as well.

“Because we said it was okay too! If she’s a child like Emma, ​​we can take care of her as much as we want! Right Galatea?”

“Don’t drag me in. I’m still the opposite. She’s a child with a vampire’s curse. What if she’s attracted to that curse and another vampire appears?”

“At that time… I’ll take responsibility and hunt.”

Galatea, still looking at Illenu with a disbelief expression, then Caliburn entered as if to mediate between the two.

“The fault is that both of you are not being honest~”

“I’m honest!”

“Neither do I… I have no intention of fooling anyone.”

Caliburn and Lionel watched with a sigh as Galatea and Illenu, two women with high pride, were engaged in such a war of nerves.

“Kuu… Anyway. I’m grateful to take care of Emma. Honestly, I leave her alone while I work, and I can’t see her properly during the day because I’m resting…”

In the end, when Illennu thought of her Emma her, she had no choice but to bow her head here.

Galatea looks at Illenu and turns her head away, but Caliburn grabs Illenu’s hand and talks.

“Why don’t you take this opportunity to stay at our inn, Illenu? I heard that you have to earn money for Emma’s treatment…”

Galatea is dumbfounded by Caliburn’s aggressive appearance of her, but Caliburn does not care about that and slams her face into Illenu.

“Oh, no. That’s a little bit… Taking care of Emma is a big help… What we have to earn is not only Emma’s medical expenses, but also our own travel expenses…”

As if receiving help to that extent was shameless, when Illenu refused while breaking into a cold sweat, Caliburn smiled a little bitterly.

“That’s true, too. But if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know. If you were with Cleon, you’re with us.”

“Ah, I understand, so let go of this… Well, something is tingling.”

Could Illenu’s blood his as a vampire react to the power of Caliburn, the holy sword?

Caliburn removes her hand when she tells her that the part she touches feels itchy.

“Haa… First of all, Emma. After you finish eating, let’s go home. Then I’ll pack up and go to the lodging where you guys are staying.”

“If that’s the case, I think it would be better to go together~!

At Caliburn’s words, when Galatea muttered something like ‘I’m bothered…’, Caliburn would—

“Galatea is fine too!”

“Where are you going!? Are you not understanding the meaning of the words in the opposite way!?”

She gets angry with the same voice.

Lionel looked at it with a sigh, then suddenly felt someone’s gaze on the window attached to the shop and sent a sharp gaze towards it.

However, there was already no sign of popularity there.

002

“Whew, whew… I almost got caught.”

What came down the window with a sigh of relief was a stuffed toy in the form of a black cat’s head.

Homunculus Schrodinger.

He had seen the two of them leave the inn early in the morning, so he had followed them, but after thinking about when to inform Cleon, he eventually chased them all the way to this place and abandoned them.

“Well. It’s okay if the two of them are fine. I’ll go back to the dorm and tell my brother that the two of them are fine.”

Saying that, the moment I spread my wings and tried to fly into the sky-

Bang! And the body was caught by something.

“Huh? What is this guy…”

The one who caught it was a woman with red horns growing on her head.

A woman with light green hair tied up in a dumpling shape, with three strands rising upward toward her.

Schrödinger accurately remembered that it was a characteristic of ‘noble men’ like the men he had seen before.

‘Ears, nobles?’

“Doll…?”

The woman examines Schrödinger, who is deliberately not moving because she would rather let her go if she thought of it as a doll.

“Sister! What are you doing!?”

“Huh? Ahh. I was cleaning and something moved and I grabbed it and it turned out to be a doll.”

“There’s no way the doll can move~ After this is over, there’s plenty of room left for the next area, so let’s do it quickly~”

When she heard the voices of the two men calling her sister her, she put the doll back into her pocket.

“Huh-“

It’s cute, so I’ll take it. Schrödinger was unable to budge from the force that he was holding on tightly to her pocket.

‘Wait a minute. Where are you planning to take me!? Besides, this woman is too strong…!’

As if she couldn’t stand it any longer, she gave up pretending to be her doll and struggled in her pocket to move-

“What is this, is it moving?”

She picked it up and-

She slams her sword straight down, knocking Schrödinger out.

“Yeah, I calmed down with this.”

“Sister Aisha, are you okay? No matter how cute you like things, looking at a doll like that and muttering…”

“What nonsense! I’m cleaning, so ask for a broom!”

Angry at his subordinate’s nonsense, he grabbed the broom.
