“I called you, but you’re ignoring me, huh?”
When I turned around, I saw two men with the term “I’m a bully” written all over their faces.
“Ho? She’s quite a beauty.”
“What did I say? I did tell you that she looks pretty. But wow, she’s even prettier up close.”
The bullies looked at my face, admiring. But their praise doesn’t make me happy.
Because it didn’t seem that they had caught me for a good intention.
How could I meet bullies as soon as I think I’ll meet bullies? It’s not like this is a novel.
…..ah, here is the world inside a book, so it’s true this is a novel.
But isn’t this something that only happens to the main characters?
What a wonderful, terrific coincidence, when I sighed, the bully who grabbed my arm, said with a grin.
“Do you have to sighed with such a pretty face?”
Whether I sigh or not, it’s not your business.
I hate my hand being held by him, so I slapped the bully’s hand.
“Hiya, you have a temper, huh?”
“She’s this pretty, so she should have a bit of a bouncy personality. Isn’t that perfect?”
“What a pervert. Your taste is funny.”
The bullies grinned, gloating among themselves.
Looking at them suddenly reminded me of Herschel Themis. An imperial knight who likes to get hit by me.
‘Do these people like to get hit, too?’
Such people would be a minority though…….
I guess these people just have a poor temperament, huh?
“Well, you should hang out with us anyway. It’s been a few days since we haven’t seen a girl.”
“Yes, it’s been a few days.”
As they say it, the bullies narrowed their distance. As I stepped back, a hard wall touched my back.
Oh, I’m stuck in a corner.
I looked at the bullies.
Men with better physiques than me were quite intimidating on the surface, but in reality they actually were in quite unfavorable conditions……
‘I want to thank my parents again.’
I gave strength to the hand that holds the parasol thinking about my parents in my previous life.
If I hadn’t learned kendo since I was young and didn’t know how to do basic physical education, I wouldn’t have stayed as calm as I am now.
I calmly ran the simulation through my head.
The skirts and shoes were obstacles, but it didn’t matter because the parasol would play a major role anyway.
After a deep breath, it was time to move the parasol.
“Hey there.”
A nice middle and low note penetrated my ears.
At the same time, my hand stopped trying to move the parasol. Instead, I looked at where the voice came from.
There was a very tall man standing there, although it was hard to recognize the color of his hair or face since he’s pressing his black hat deeply.
In addition, I felt like he was not an ordinary person for some reason, perhaps because of the black cloak and neat clothes that came down to the bottom of his calves.
“What’s going on?”
The bullies briefly flinched at the man’s question, but soon shook their hands nonchalantly.
“What’s going on? Nothing’s going on, so go on your way. Don’t bother meddling.”
“That’s right. Don’t get in our way and make each other tired, just walk by quietly.”
“Does the lady over there think the same?”
“Hey, man. I told you to go quietly. And what do you need this bitch’s opinion for?”
One of the bullies grabbed my arm again.
Fortunately, it was an arm that didn’t hold the parasol.
“I’ll tell you if you’re so curious. This bitch is my wife and she had a bad habit, so I was going to call my friend in and scold her, so don’t mind our business and just go.”
It’s too much for me to just listen and stay still.
“Who’s your wife? It’s our first time seeing each other today, and you’ve been blocking my way since before.”
“This stupid little bitch! Since I’ve said you’re pretty, you’re going crazy!”
The bully who tried to deceive the man saying I’m his wife raised his hand with a blushing face at my accusation.
I clenched my parasols tightly as the bully wanted to slap me in the face.
By the time the man’s hand tilted a little as if it would hit me at any moment, I also swung the parasol.
No, I tried to swing it.
Puck —
“Argh!”
The bully who was trying to hit me screamed and bent down with the back of his head wrapped around his arms.
I haven’t done anything yet.
I blinked at the unexpected situation and saw something black on the floor.
Looking closely, it was a long sword sheath.
‘It wasn’t there before. Don’t tell me?’
As I turned my head, I saw the man wearing a hat holding a sword without its sheath.
As expected, he threw it.
But is it okay to carry a sword like that?
“Hey, you son of a bitch!”
The bully was very angry at the man and pulled a dagger out of his arms.
I thought only one bully had a dagger, but the other also pulled out a dagger.
‘This people also brought a weapon?’
While embarrassed by an unimaginable sight in my previous life, the bullies rushed to the man.
Seeing that, I threw away the parasols and picked up the sword sheath on the ground.
No matter the hat man has a sword. There were two opponents. They even have weapons.
‘I should help him.’
I could have been badly hurt, too. But I can’t turn away from the person who helped me, just because I’m afraid of getting hurt.
‘It’s harder than the parasol, so it’ll hurt if it hits.’
Holding the sword sheath, I ran behind the bully. And as I raised my hand down to the back of the bully’s head, the man who had been standing still turned his sword upside down, grabbed the bullies dagger’s blade, and moved quickly.
“Cough!”
A bully who was beaten in the abdomen coughed while covering his body.
“You son of a bitch, kheok!”
The other bully who was angry to see his friend get beaten was similarly treated.
Each bully groaned and tormented, but the man didn’t stop there.
Puck, puck!
The bullies, who were beaten with a dull sound, fell to the ground completely.
“Wow….…”
I felt like I saw a scene from a movie.
How can he move like that with such a long sword?
I also participated in some kendo competitions in my previous life, so I also could handle a long sword and saw many players, but the man’s movement was phenomenal.
It was so fast that I thought I could see a white light appear on the man’s hand.
The bullies who were hit by the man only had convulsions, but couldn’t get out of their position.
Tsk, they act too recklessly!
I was gloating over the bullies, and before I knew it, the man came nearby, reached out to me.
“Can I have my sword sheath, please?”
“Oh! Yes, here you go!”
“Thank you.”
When I held out the sheath I was holding, the man reached out and answered.
It was only a moment, but the size of my hand was contrasted with the man’s hand holding the other side of the sword sheath.
The hands of the man in the gloves were huge. I don’t need to give it a try, but I think his hand is big enough to wrap my hands around it.
‘He is that tall, so of course his hands are big.’
Looking at the man who put the sword back in the sheath, I suddenly remembered that the man grabbed the dagger’s blade while dealing with the bullies.
How’s his hand?
No matter how much gloves he put on, he’d cut himself.
“Excuse me……..”
“Excuse………”
Regardless of who, the man and I opened our mouths at the same time.
“Oh, go ahead.”
“No, please speak first.”
“It’s nothing. You can say it first.”
“Then I’ll go first. Could you please wait until we get these people to the guards?”
Maybe it’s because he’ll need a witness when he hands these bullies over to the guards.
“Yes, I will.”
I answered gladly. I could have testified to him, considering that he had helped me.
“Thank you. I’ll fire a flare to signal the guards, but it’s not dangerous, so don’t be afraid.”
“Oh, yes.”
When I nodded, the man took out something like a match, shaped like a cylinder with a short thread at the end, of his arms and lit it.
‘I guess that’s the flare.’
The burning thread burned in and a lump bounced up into the sky.
Boong!
Bruises in the sky like fireworks exploding soon. Red smoke billowed out widely.
‘So it wasn’t light but smoke. I thought the flare would come out like fireworks.’
It was a little disappointing because it wasn’t what I was expecting, but the smoke wafting and spreading wasn’t bad either.
“Can you tell me now?”
“Yes? About what?”
“The thing you couldn’t say earlier.”
“That’s right!”
I was, indeed
Gently clapping my hands, I anxiously looked at the man’s hand.
“When you hit these basta, no, I mean these people, you held the dagger with your hand. So I’m worried if you’re hurt anywhere.”
“That’s fine. These gloves are sturdy enough that most things couldn’t hurt me.”
“Really?”
When I said I couldn’t believe him, the man showed me his left hand without saying a word.
As the man said, his hand glove was intact without a single scratch.
The sound of hitting the bullies was so loud that I thought his hand would have been cut, but it wasn’t the case.
I was greatly relieved to see the gloves that did not even leave with scratches.
“I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.”
“It’s made of Verro’s skin, so most things couldn’t cut it.”
The man then opened his mouth as if to add something, but closed his mouth again.
But I was more curious about something else than that.
For example.
“Verro’s skin………?”
The identity of the material of the gloves.
“What is that?”
“It is a kind of magical beast. The skins are very hard, so they are often used to make armor.”
“I see.”
I’ve never heard of it before, so I was quite focused on listening to the man’s story.
Oh my god, there is a skin that can withstand the blade! It’s not even a diamond.
“May I touch it a little? Since it’s too amazing.”
“…… go ahead.”
The man reached out his hand again and I touched the gloves slightly with my fingertips.
“It’s soft…….”
I thought it would be hard.
I wanted to touch it a little more because it was unexpectedly sof, but I thought this was rude, so I let the man’s hand go..
Of course, it’s not polite to rub his hands like this, when this is the first time we met.
“Thank you.”
The man raised his hand without saying a word. I didn’t really want any answers or response, so I didn’t care and picked up the parasols that I threw away earlier.
More than that, when I heard him talking about the magical beast, I realized that this place is really the world in the novel.
However, is it fortunate that the capital has no damage from the magical beast thanks to the construction of the temple?
‘I’m glad I didn’t live in the countryside.’
In the capital, the area inhabited by people is small compared to the countryside, so it is possible to spread barriers sufficiently from the temple, but in the countryside, except near the lord’s castle, safety was not secured because there were no barriers.
At the same time, there are knights who can attack or defend by transforming the energy, called ‘auror’, in the body into desired shape, and Royal Knights led by the male protagonist Caleb Egon, who often go to sweep the beasts to keep the security tight.
I glanced at the man next to me while fiddled with the parasol.
I saw earlier that his skills were great, but how good is the male protagonist, Caleb Egon?
In addition, I was curious as it was said that no one could face him off if he used the auror.
‘I want to see it once.’
Of course, it was a vain wishful thinking. Caleb was the head of the famous Imperial Royal Knights.
On the other hand, I was just an actor in a theater company in the capital, who happened to be possessed by a book.
The only time I’ll ever be able to see Caleb is when he comes to see a play with Vivian.
But I didn’t know exactly when they came.
Above all, when I focused on acting, I didn’t care who was in the audience.
So there’s a good chance I’ll just let them go without knowing they’re present.
“What a shame…….”
“Is there a problem?”
After hearing the man’s words, I realized that I was belatedly saying what I was thinking inside.
I shook my head in a hurry.
“Oh, no. There’s nothing wrong. I was just thinking about something else and was talking to myself without realizing it.”
“I see.”
It was a moment when I looked at a man casually.
The moment I met the man’s black eyes, I took a deep breath.
