Chapter 52
Whats going on?(Guard captain)
They seem to be thesecurity guards came from stations somewhere, there are about dozens of soldiers.
Well, its natural.
This city is the castle town near the border.
And now there is a loud explosion around the gate together with a strange golden smoke.
Of course, the soldiers will come rushing.
It will be strange if they dont come.
Although there shouldnt be a sudden invasion because they have a good relationship with the neighboring countries.
There shouldnt be a raid either, because this town is holding a rather large number of troops.
In the town that near the border, theres usually a lot of soldiers.
Whats going on? Can anyone explain the situation?(Guard captain)
A man seems to be the captain of those soldiers shouted loudly when other soldiers surrounded the wagon.
Several security guards were checking the wagon and the men who rolled on the ground.
Other guards looked at an armed man, a young boy, and 3 young girls.
Normally, the guard might capture without asking questions.
But the man from the other side has a noble appearance, he doesnt look like a commoner at all.
The beautiful swordsman girl has expensive equipment.
A young girl with sharp eyes. A young boy and a young girl.
There are also 3 other small girls in the wagon.
No matter how you look at it, these people dont seem like someone who tried to break through the gate.
In the first place, if that was really the case, they shouldnt be waiting here until the soldiers arrived but also moved.
Whether those people tried to escape from the city or intrude into the city
Look like the captain of these soldiers isnt an idiot, as expected from someone who is responsible for coping with theemergency event.
They surrounded the wagon just to be sure, but they didnt do anything before hearing the situation.
Who can explain the situation?(Captain)
The captain spoke to Roland, who seems to be the superior among us.
But as I saw Roland-san had a troubled face, I decided to explain instead.
Yes, as always.
Themerchant who is the owner of this wagon is a serial bishoujo kidnapper!
And the guards who are fallen here, even though theysaw that the kidnapped girls were being carried out in the wagon but they still let it passed.
They seem to be the accomplices!(Kaoru)
Well, I will not forget to emphasize the bishoujopart
Peoples glaring is hurts, but I cant yield here.
Because the glory of Being aimed by the Bishoujo kidnappers, this may be the first and last time.
I wont yield it to be just the kidnappers, it must be the Bishoujo kidnappers
What?(Captain)
The captain was surprised, and he looked like he just heard of a disaster news.
He probably knew that kidnapping cases were occurring frequently.
And if it was just simply that the culprit got caught, he might be appreciated it as a soldier.
People might think the soldiers are incompetent for failing to catch the criminals but that was no big deal.
However, in my explanation, it was a very serious problem.
Yes, I said The guards were kidnappers.
Not just one or two, but the whole six people who were in charge of guarding this gate.
This is an incredible scandal.
It will become a big problem if this news is spread.
After all, this is the place in contact with the neighboring country, its somewhat like the faceof this country.
Are you saying that they were knocked down by the people here,
One armed man and a girl.
Even when facing 6soldiers and escorts,
Without giving those men a chance to take the young girls as the hostage (captain)
Oh, no, thats wrong(Kaoru)
As Roland didnt give any excuses, I replied so quickly.
Anyway, the captain will demand to listen to the situation from other witnesses as well.
Its a big problem, and it cant be done with only one testimony
Well, then who ?(Captain)
Goddess(Kaoru)
Huh?(Captain)
No, as I said, its the power of the goddess.
In order to save these children, the goddess had punished the bad guys.
With the power of the Goddess, there was an explosion roaring sound and golden clouds to lead her faithful servants here
Are you all the goddess faithful servants? (Kaoru)
Well , uhm.
There is no doubt that we are the faithful servant of goddess Celestine.
Its might be true that she caused that roaring explosion and golden smoke to lead us here(Captain)
He is a little confused but he also seems to be proud.
It really seems so, to becalled asthe goddess faithful servants
Anyone would be excited, it wont be just a mere achievement.
It might be more than just getting the medal or the like from the country.
have you seen her. The goddess (Captain)
Oh, yes.
She was really beautiful.
However, her breasts compared with the statue of the temple
It was quite modest though(Kaoru)
Its not a lie.I merely omitted things.
I I see!(Captain)
BONK!* (SFX)
Gyaa!(Kaoru)
It hurts!
Suddenly, a washtub fell from the sky fell on my head.
It looks like she had watched.
For now, please forget about the thing I told you earlier(Kaoru)
The captaindesperately nodded with a blue face.
As I touch the painful head, theres a bump.
Celes didnt go easy on me, because my injury can be healed with the potion.
Its not an aluminum wash basin! But a heavy Wooden basin!
She only did what on earth halfway!
Did she hear about it from the god-senpai of the earth?
Or did she peek through the earth to look at her senpai ?
She is a goddess, chest or anything, she can change it however she wishes!
Unlike me, who get stuck with this small statue, Celes you Idiot (Bakayaro!)
Ha ha ha.
Oh, well, it seems that the captain totally believed it, so its okay.
Well, could everyone come with me to the headquarters of the military?(Captain)
No, thank you!(Kaoru)
Huh?(Captain)
The captain had a blank face to as hisinstruction is dismissed casually.
No, I mean, I have just seen 6 soldiers who were the accomplice of the Bishoujo kidnappers
I dont even know how many soldiers are their companions,
I wont follow you, because Im not stupid(Kaoru)
(Captain)
The captain was silent and couldnt talk back.
However, he wouldnt back down that easily because he was told so.
Well, thats not going to do!
We have a mission, too (Captain)
Indeed, the soldiers couldnt mistreat those who goddess Celestine saved directly.
Therefore, the captain had a troubled face but didnt yield.
However, its certainly would be troublesome if we were brought into the military building or the lords mansion.
Well, I was in trouble.
What should I do (Kaorus POV)
Oh, thats right!
I could use the same method as I did before!
Well, then would you please take me to an unobtrusive place like the square or the plaza,
I will refuse a private, secluded place because I dont know anything about you.
I dont want to spend too much time because we want to go to the next town as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, you can ask us in the plaza there.
Thats why please tell your boss so.
Well, we will leave before noon, so please ask us before that.
Also, please contact the families of these kidnapped children
My family is already here(Kaoru)
As I said that, I pointed to Rolands
Well, that is (Captain)
Oh, if you dont want to ask, may we leave right away?(Kaoru)
Wait, wait! Wait!(Captain)
The captain was in trouble and tried to stop us in a hurry.
Because I treasure my life,
so, I definitely will not yield.
So, instead of wasting time staying here, I could use thattime for the departure preparation(Kaoru)
And then, the captain left after thinking for a while.
Of course, he left behind a lot of guards.
Well, even if he didnt do that, I wouldnt deceive and run away secretly. Its true.
Oh, because he went away in the hurry, he left the kidnappers behind as well.
But, all the soldiers who stayed here, are watching them.
Watching over the culprits who are rolling the floor!
