Countdown 2
Meanwhile, the ladies of the day
After shopping, Mirei and Angelica enjoyed tea in a picturesque open terrace-like setting.
This is a district of the castle town where the upper classes come and go. The Baron, who is a close friend of the couple, is a great help and allows them to stay here without any problems as long as they are well groomed.
Ahhh... the town is great after all.
Yes, it is.
One is a beautiful girl, the other a strange old woman. There are many guests, but only in one corner is there a glamorous atmosphere, as if a great flower had blossomed.
Which of the ladies is it? Have you seen her at any of the social gatherings?
Two of them approach me, whispering in the background.
Hey? You guys. I was wondering if you'd like to...'
Whether they said it or not, the two approaching fell over.
Kyawawa. The people nearby were startled by the suddenness of the event and made a lot of noise.
・・・・ Huh. Why do guys like that keep coming up to me?
The first time they were together, they were in the same room.
The first time I saw them, I thought, 'Oh my God, Mirei, you've done it again? Have you done it again?
I'm not allowed to do that. I'm not good at that.
I mean, men in general are no good.
Hmph. Mirei turns her face away. Angelica, thinking: 'Oh dear...
It's getting noisy. Let's get out of here."
The two quickly get up from their seats and walk away as some people gather.
As they pass each other, they heal the fallen couple so they won't recognise them.
Hey, your carotid artery was completely severed!
I had to do a little work to avoid the blood splatter.
You didn't have to kill them. ～～～～.
No, I'm not dead. You didn't resuscitate him, did you?
It's true, but... You really hate men, don't you? She's so sweet.
It's ridiculous to think that cute means she likes men.
Because she's cute, she can choose any guy she wants, can't she?
The first thing to do is to look at the picture.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the best out of your car is to get the best out of your car.
We'd better get changed or we'll be late.
At a crazy late hour we set off for the Baron's house.
The Baron, who had expected us earlier, was beyond annoyed and in a state of rage.
He muttered a lot of things at us, but we greeted him in a demeaning way with 'sassenou', which made him even angrier.
What the hell is going on? If you're so good, you shouldn't have failed against that dungeon boss!
'We don't really know either...'
What do you mean, you don't know? There must be a reason. ！！！！
・・・・・
Could it be the mysterious adventurer? Rumour has it that the one who disappeared from your party is doing wondrous things with the Beastman."
・・・・ Hey, why ・・・・ that?
I managed to answer, trying not to burst out, and the Baron thought I was in pain.
I don't know what to say, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. The Adventurers' Guild has informed us, or rather the King, of the repeated failure of your requests. When you can't even perform your duties in the dungeons under the King's control, there's a problem. We will have the opportunity to explain the situation to the king. If the rumoured adventurers are to blame, then I will put on a show and help you".
"I appreciate your concern, Baron."
It can't be helped. The day after tomorrow is the day after the defence of the castle. Make sure you have some kind of defence by then!
I understand.
We bowed deeply and quickly put the things we had in our pockets on the desk... Oh no, it's the bag of meat kebabs we bought earlier.
The room was immediately filled with a delicious smell.
I can tell the guys behind me are giving off a "what?" vibe. I can tell the guys behind me are giving off a "what?" vibe.
The Baron is also staring at the mysterious object on the desk.
The juice from the meat is seeping out of the bag and dripping onto the desk, probably because of the time that has passed.
My dinner: ～～～～～'
In a second I jumped from the bag of meat skewers and wiped up the gravy with another bag, which I should have put there as if nothing had happened.
'Baron, here are the usual (dungeon drops) and a few other tokens of appreciation from us.
