... live free!

I had a bad feeling about seeing a man with a suspicious grin. I felt like I was planning something bad, and I laughed at Couscous strangely when I was asking him how the man was doing. What's wrong with laughing all of a sudden? And if I thought of that, the laughter gradually healed, and the man turned to me once he turned his gaze to the dean.

"Kukukuku...... I didn't know you were coming to get me..."

"Do you want to come and get me?

What does that mean? When I thought, the man started talking, so I listened.

"Apart from the guy I just caught, I caught another kid from a place called that orphanage. It was this guy who called himself Dean of this orphanage who came to take it back. No way, I'm surprised you're coming to get the orphanage kid back, but I thought catching this guy would make it easier for me to work later, so I caught this guy pretending to be up to the deal, huh?

"Well, it was unexpected that guys like doing their jobs were struggling a little with hungry opponents, so I only helped them a little bit."

Could there be other kids besides Lumia who are caught...

"Hey, how many did you catch?

"Well, all of them. But there were only three of them in that orphanage."

Is that the three of us? I thought, but I leaned down so that the man wouldn't understand my expression. There must have been six people in the orphanage except me... With that in mind, I was thinking about how you said there were only three men in front of you, but I didn't know. Maybe there's a kid still hiding in the orphanage, or maybe he's gone for a different reason. Either way, I was worried that the kid caught was safe.

"Well, if you're gonna say you're that orphanage guy too, all I'm gonna say is you're a dumb ass who came to get yourself, huh? But not until you make it irresistible, huh?

That's what you've said and pointed your sword at me. Such an injury. Then you can't fight well. Though I thought so, when I tried to pull out my dagger, I realized I didn't have one. Speaking of which, I remember this guy kicking me in the hand with a dagger when he grabbed me and flying away somewhere. I can't even fight this, then. There's a door behind the man to try to escape, and he gets caught right away trying to escape. There's nothing more I can do...... In the meantime, if the man I was just saying is true, I don't think he's going to get killed, but I also suspect he really thinks so...

All I could do was wait for a man to come near me with that in mind. Then the man's movement stopped unexpectedly. I looked at the foot of the man as well because the man looked at his foot. The dean was grasping at the man's feet.

"I won't let her do that"

"Che!"

When the man pounded his tongue, he tried to escape the dean's restraint, but he seemed to grab it rather disappointingly and couldn't lift the restraint. A man frustrated by the actions of such a dean kicked in the face with the legs of those who were not restrained.

"Ghoo!"

Then the man's restraint was lifted and the dean flew to the back.

"Damn it, Grandpa! Get out of my way!

The man approached the dean so angrily. And when I got close, I shook up the sword I had.

"Stop!!

Dean will be killed! That's what I thought and shouted out to the man to stop, but without conveying my thoughts, the man waved his sword down relentlessly towards the dean.

All I could do was see how it went. The sword that was being swung down went toward the dean's torso and cut his torso. And a lot of blood poured out of that cut.

"Yes, Dean, Doctor?

I approached the dean as I said so, but the man caught my leg on the way. And they stomped on my back when I fell. I couldn't move anymore. I was still reaching out to the dean, but I sensed that the dean could no longer help me with the bleeding that never stopped. I had the feeling of being stabbed by something from behind in my increasingly distorted sight, but I couldn't think of anything when I was full of heads about the dean in front of me.

Then a while later I lost consciousness when a loud noise sounded in my room and I lost the feeling that I was stabbing something in my back.
