Chapter 76 – Disappearance

I should have thought that I could become a target from the time the two of us went alone, but I was living too complacently.

Cecilia has no interpersonal combat skills, and Ruril is strong, but it would be difficult for her to fight without her main weapon, a bow.

Actually, it wasn’t clear what would have happened just by looking at this, but seeing that he hadn’t returned to the inn by this time, I just had a rough idea that something had happened.

More than anything…

As I said before, this place was the city of adventurers, and also the biggest city.

In the game, if you let the heroine go alone, it was implemented as disappearing from being kidnapped at some point…

Of course, if you can get it in time, the favorability will increase, so there were not a few people using it.

You may think that it is too harsh, but since it was a game, there is a way to easily increase the affinity, but there is no reason not to refuse it.

That’s what I was worried about.

It was highly likely that he would be captured by those bastards who were sneaking around in this city.

I should say it was a condition, because I showed you how many times we were walking together in this city, just the two of us.

What they were trying to do was, in a way, natural.

It wasn’t certain.

The two were not in a park, but in a strange place I didn’t know, so it was because I wanted to, but there was no convincing evidence that they were caught.

Still, it’s something you don’t know, so you need to find it quickly.

Quickly finding the location of the hero, I approached the hero and used telepathy.

– I found it!

“Uh?”

– I’ll show you the way…

If I go on foot myself, it will be too late.

Perhaps understanding my meaning, the warrior approached me and lifted me up.

“Where should I go?”

Instead of answering, I pointed my finger

Even this much would be sufficient for you to notice.

The warrior who saw the direction I was pointing at ran out in that direction.

Running along the street could cause confusion, so the hero jumped up and moved between the rooftops of buildings.

Several minutes passed as I ran, changing the direction I was pointing at every slight twist.

“Are you here?”

I nodded my head at the hero’s question.

Below this will be Cecilia and Ruril.

[I think it would be best if the hero went alone.]

Is that too

If something happens after I go with you, it will be more troublesome, so it would be best to be upstairs.

Of course, if something happens, it would be enough to wipe it out with magic, but if I get knocked out without knowing it, I won’t be able to use magic either.

As you may have noticed at the point of secretly kidnapping, these guys are not ordinary guys.

Basically poison.

So even in the game, it was very annoying, but in real life, if it was added, it wouldn’t happen.

If I get poisoned on the way down, it will be even more difficult as a hero…

I didn’t want to trouble him.

Instead, since I can’t stay here for a while, I need to set up a teleportation magic circle so that I can go back to the inn right away.

Will it be disposable so that it will be erased after one use?

[Do you know what I am? If you ask me to do this or that, will you do it right away?]

‘Can not?’

[Of course you can.]

If that’s the case, why the hell did you tell me that?

It’s a bit absurd, but I’m glad they say I can do it.

After confirming that I had installed the magic circle, the hero jumped off the roof saying he would come back soon.

Looking down at such a hero, I suddenly felt uneasy.

I don’t think it’s possible that this incident will increase the affinity so much that there will be a relationship… ?

Of course, I had to be the only one who mixed my body, and the hero as well as the two of them would know that, so there’s no need to worry right now…

Still, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

[It’s not anxiety, it’s jealousy. Is she a real woman? Can I call you a female now?]

‘It’s a female… You’re talking too much.’

[Are you talking too much? It’s a word I found in your memory.]

‘… ‘

I have nothing to say, damn it.

.
.
.

I was careless.

I thought it would be okay since it was in the city, so I wandered around without thinking too much.

I forgot that in a city like this, dangerous things are always sneaking around.

The result was this.

Because she has no power, she was captured first, so Ruril was also captured.

His whole body was tied up, and his eyes were covered so that he could not see.

It’s because of me.

I…

If I hadn’t been caught…

Drooling

“Good-bye.”

I shuddered at the man’s voice.

It was the last hateful voice he heard before he was brought here.

“You are… Who is it? Why would you do this… “

“Can’t you tell who I am just by looking at what I’ve been caught like this?”

“What do you plan to do with me in the future?”

“It’s a high-quality item that I got after a long time… Shouldn’t it be expensive to sell?”

This,

Were you a slave trader?

I’ve heard of it.

Even so, he wouldn’t think of touching the saintess, but why…

‘Ah… ‘

She didn’t have anything in her arms that could reveal that she was a saint.

So, there was no way these people would know that they were saints.

I never thought things would turn out like this…

“Looking at his appearance, he seems to be a nobleman, but you know that it’s useless to talk about your own family, right?”

“… “

I had no answer.

Although she wasn’t particularly noble, she wondered if she should at least reveal that she was a saint.

However, it seemed appropriate that she should be misunderstood as an aristocrat who was touring the city, since she did not know what would happen if she revealed that she was a saint under the current circumstances.

It seemed better to ask what had happened to Ruril than that now.

“What happened to the person I was with?”

“Hey. Can’t you understand the situation?”

“Hey… !”

The man lowered his voice and kicked lightly in the abdomen. However, since the force wasn’t that strong, he was not seriously injured and only groaned in pain.

“I’m kidding. He lives well in the next room, so don’t worry.”

“… “

Will Luryl be okay?

Unlike herself who has no powers, she knows that she has powers and knows that, so there is a possibility that she has taken some measures to prevent her from doing anything.

“Well, the reaction was a bit strong, so I lost my spirits a bit.”

“… !”

I can’t…

I gritted my teeth.

It was an obvious fact that he couldn’t exert great power on people except for demons.

There was no way to bet on staying still until the hero came to rescue him.

However, there was one problem.

Will he come to the rescue… ?

It’s not that the hero doesn’t come to the rescue.

Exactly, you can’t come to find it.

You don’t even know I’m being held here, so how can you come to rescue me?

By the time it doesn’t come, you will realize that something is wrong and start looking for it, but by then it will be too late.

We need to make the hero or Rumia realize that something happened to us.

But how am I supposed to do that?

There is a way to radiate divine power enough for the hero to notice, but only then will they know that I am a saint.

In the worst case, I could use my ransom as an excuse to adversely affect the kingdom.

It’s never quite like that…

Because of my incompetence…

‘Ugh… ‘

Had I known this was going to happen, I should have gone back to the inn sooner.

It’s fun to play with Ruril, so it’s like this after wandering around for too long…

‘Warrior… ‘

Please come and save me

I moaned at the throbbing pain in my stomach and prayed inwardly.

‘Ah… ‘

Yes, the sword.

If you continue to radiate holy power so that ordinary people can’t notice it, but the holy sword can notice it, you will be able to notice that you have a problem someday.

The problem is that I don’t know when that will happen, but if something happens or something goes wrong, I intend to release my power as a saint.

“It’s a big deal!”

“Huh? What?”

“This is an intruder… !”

Intruder… ?

“How many are there?”

“Ha, that’s one… “

“Hey girl! Can’t even catch one? Catch it quickly and bring it in front of me!”

“Th-it holds a shining sword, but it is too strong! You are getting hit in an instant!”

‘A shining sword… ?!’

No way… !

Without hesitation, I radiated divine power with my whole body.

That was the moment.

“Sheesh! Incompetent guys… I must come… Kuheh?!”

The sound of a hole as if hit by something and the sound of the country hitting a wall at the same time,

And someone who came in front of me released the blinded eyes.

At that place,

“Are you okay? I’m glad it’s not too late… “

Warrior.

There was a savior.
