I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything
Chapter 49Chapter 49
The Woman who was called the Princess Knight
The next morning .
I had my breakfast on the ground floor of the inn .
What I’m wearing today are the clothes that I had changed into yesterday and a dry robe .
My uniform was kept into the hemp bag .
Last night, I had a good night’s sleep .
My head was also really refreshed .
The dining room had already been half-filled with people by the time I went down to the ground floor .
It seems there are still some people who are drinking sake even at this time of the day .
I can see that most of the people in the mornings were mercenaries .
After I’m finished on eating my meal, I inquired something towards the innkeeper .
[I would like to ask some questions about that recruitment for raiding that ruins . The one where the Marquis is gathering people for . ]
[Ah, Hati-sama seems to have gotten word of it too . Yes, the lord were certainly looking for people to raid that newly found floor in the ruins . ]
The innkeeper told me about the recruitment .
It seems that there’s going to be a briefing today .
There’s no special requirements to be able to join .
It seems that registration has been going smooth for members of the Mercenary Guild .
That means even I can participate .
The meeting place is a plaza on the outskirts of town .
I went back to my room and hid Pigimaru under my room . I decided to head for this plaza .
v
I immediately knew the plaza designated meeting place upon getting near the place .
It was because the area was lively .
My field of view became wider as soon as I pass through the path towards the forest .
At a glance, I could see about... fifty people?
Everyone I see looks like they’re used to travelling and fighting .
Their images looks close to what travelers or mercenaries that come to my mind .
It can be said that this could almost look like the place where there’s a shooting for those overseas fantasy dramas .
There was a platform in one corner of the plaza .
It looks like an event stage .
The organizer will probably explain on top of that .
[Should I buy something that could tell me the time later?]
The way they tell time here seems to be close to the ones from my original world .
There are twelve beasts that were assigned to the normal twelve hours back in my world .
Each beast indicates the time assigned for them from 1 o’clock to 12 o’clock .
There’s also the concept of AM and PM in here .
The yang beasts indicate the AM and the yin beasts indicate the PM .
However, it’s too confusing if I based it on the standards of this world .
So I just set my mind and kept on following on the sense of time that I’m used to .
I left the inn just before 9:30 am .
According to the innkeeper, the organizers designated time for meetup is 10:00 am .
At that time, a voice rang out from one corner of the plaza .
[Hohhooo~!?]
A slightly hoarse voice rang out loudly .
[It seems that one person that’s out of place from everyone around got mixed in the crowd, isn’t it?]
Hmm?
Don’t tell me, is he talking about me?
[I would still know even if you’re wearing that cloak, you know? You look too prim for this place . Even from the parts that aren’t covered by your hood, I could tell you’re an extremely beautiful woman, you know? Moreover, there’s that elegance that’s drifting about your body . Surely, this lady must have some reputation on her name, right? Well then milady, why are you in this place?]
I’m mistaken .
He’s not talking about me .
The tall and slender macho looks like he’s talking about a slender woman .
[What is it?]
That voice...
I listened carefully to the voice of that slender macho .
[Oh hoo~!? You have quite a clear voice, huh!? It’s as if you’re—]
The slender macho’s eyes opened wide as if he saw through something .
[It looks like you’re the former leader of the the Holy Knights!]
The surroundings began to get bustling .
[Eh? You mean that woman, the Princess Knight Seras Ashrain?]
[Is she the one who was rumored to be the princess of the country of High Elves?]
[I heard about that rumor where she had disappeared from Neia, which is now occupied by Bakuos . ]
[Eh!? That former leader is now here in Mills!? Really!?]
[Didn’t Bakuos Empire offer a lot of bounty for her capture?]
That slender macho deliberately took the attention of others .
I just watched over the situation .
She’s probably that woman that I had met in the forest .
I knew of that from her voice .
But, there’s no reason for me to help her .
I have no debts to settle with her nor does she have one towards me . I am no longer associated with that woman after that instance in the forest .
Besides, I don’t want to stand out now .
Even if that’s not so, I’m still not going to lend a hand for her .
Why is it?
That woman still had the composure after being discovered by others .
It’s not like she’s in any trouble .
It’s as if she’s her whole being is full of composure .
It may be that she still has a way out of here .
If I just intervene unnecessarily, I may even accidentally get in her way .
Well—
[............]
I think it’s possible for to paralyze everyone in here anyway .
The slender macho rushed towards the woman .
[Actually, I’ve never met that leader of the Holy Knights in Neia . I heard though that she was a very beautiful person . It’s just that... I had invited you for to eat out with me, but I was coldly refused!]
[I don’t even remember seeing you . ]
[Guh~!]
The slender macho looks like he took quite the damage there . He had a really displeased expression on his face .
[I see— Is that so, I understand . I still remember it though . Even at that time, you’re still acting like that . You have that higher-than-thou attitude of yours and didn’t even have the slightest interest towards others, huh?]
[......... . . ]
[That’s also the reason why! The reason why I remember your face well in my memory! Even that already ripe part of yours, that pathetic excuse of a pair of breasts! I remember it all! It’s useless to deny it, you know!? You’re that fallen Princess Knight who had turned into a pathetic fugitive!]
[Excuse me, but did you get the wrong person?]
The slender macho grinned .
[If that’s so, can you show us your ears?]
The slender macho proudly pointed at the woman’s hood .
[......... . ]
[The Elven Race have sharp ears that are different from humans! Well, your ears can’t be seen from that loose hood your wearing! Yes! It’s obvious that you’re trying to hide something! It’s clearer than white!]
Certainly, her hood is quite loose .
It’d be no wonder if you’re hiding your long ears there .
[Everyone here knows there are rarely any Elves that were wandering around here! No! There haven’t been any sightings of them in the Urza Kingdom at all! But– However– What if–! What if it’s the fugitive of her own country that has been talked about recently! That fugitive is a High Elf! Fuhahaha! You’re a fool in thinking that you could deceive me! Those sharp ears of yours is the very evidence that you are Seras Ashrain!]
The slender macho’s hand is about to reach out towards the woman’s hood .
[You’re quite naive in thinking you could deceive me! Naive naive naive! Naiiiivveeeee—!]
Gabaaahh!
Her hood has been removed .
The woman’s concealed head is exposed .
[See that~!? The identity of the Princess Knight was revealed by this me— The “Flash”, Monk Dorogetti! Look at this, everyone! These sharp ears~! And also, her exceptional beauty! If you can see her face even once, her face would be burned into your memory that I doubt you could—]
The slender macho’s face hardens .
[—ever forget it... Eh? Eh!? What the!?]
The woman’s ears were clearly human’s .
They’re not sharp at all .
[......... . ]
Well, it’s as I thought .
She’s that woman that I had asked things about in the forest .
She revealed her face when most of my questions were answered .
That is indeed the woman that I had met in the forest .
Did that woman also come to Mills because of this recruitment?
The slender macho’s face turned pale .
[Im- Impossible!? Moreover—]
The slender macho stared hard at the woman’s face .
[It’s d- different!? Her face is different!]
The woman sighed .
[Like I said, I’m asking you if you got the wrong person . My name isn’t Seras Ashrain . My name is Mist Barkas . ]
The woman indifferently said with her clear voice .
[Have you had enough now?]
