The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 135

unedited

Jake, who was the closest, reached out his hand and exclaimed in amazement.

I felt like I didn’t want him to worry, but it hurts so much that I couldn’t lie.

It was questionable whether my broken leg would be able to properly step on the ground.

I responded by squeezing my hoarse voice.

“Ah, I think this leg is broken……”

At the same time, everyone looked terribly surprised.

“……What?”

“Your, your legs?”

“What to do? Are, are you okay? No, you broke your leg, there’s no way you’ll be okay, damn it.”

The children jumped around in a moment of panic.

Jake took my hand and muttered with a very heartbroken face.

“I should have learned healing magic. What is the use of attack and defense magic? Mir got hurt, but I can’t do anything…”

Then all of a sudden, Cedric made an offer to me.

“Come on up.”

“Uh… yes?”

I asked back and forgot the pain when I would make a sound of pain whenever I grabbed my leg.

Cedric’s face, looking at me with his head raised, was serious.

“Come on up, because I can carry you on my back.”

Saying that, Cedric took off his robe and knelt down, showing his back, as if he was really going to carry me.

“Bu, but.”

But I wasn’t willing to get carried up.

I could see my broken leg throbbing and swelling right away, but why?

‘Maybe I’m feeling too indebted.’

While I was pondering, Cedric urged me again.

“Hurry! What are you thinking about?”

“I will carry your things for you.”

At the same time, Alice took the headband, the robe, and the money bag from my hand.

“Well then… excuse me.”

In the end, I was carried on Cedric’s back with a feeling of sorry and gratitude to Cedric and the children.

“What are you sorry for? After all, it takes 5 minutes to walk to where the carriage is.”

“…Of course I know that, but still.”

I mumbled my answer without raising my head in embarrassment.

Cedric carried me without much effort, probably because he was born with a strong physique and was trained as a knight.

‘…I’m sure it’s really not that heavy.’

Haa.

Somehow I could only see Cedric’s back of his head.

It was when Cedric was carrying me and the other children were walking after us.

Suddenly, I heard someone running from behind, and then I heard a brutal conversation.

It was not someone we knew when we heard the voice.

“Obviously I saw them go this way. There are 6 people and they all wear black robes so they can’t go around without being noticed. But they disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

“I know. Those rich looking guys… Where did they go? They look like precious children who don’t know anything, we can’t just miss out on something good to eat!”

Rich guys? Six people in black robes?

‘Are they talking about us?’

In an instant, I was sweating.

When I glanced back, the owner of the voice was only two people.

But both were pretty bad-looking bad guys.

‘Let’s see, one is muscular, and one is rather small, and he has a scar on his face. And the other one, who is quite tall, has an eye patch on one of his eyes.’

The weapons were a large club and a rusty, toothed dagger that looked like it was used to intimidate.

After a scan in a short time, I turned my gaze forward again as if I had seen them before.

‘The precious children you are looking for are right here… Please don’t notice.’

To them, who snorted and looked around with gleaming eyes, it seemed as if we were invisible even though we were in sight.

‘It’s probably because we’re in the shape of a child.’

Meanwhile, the steps of the children who were just about to head into the forest stopped for a moment.

It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who heard the bad guys’ conversations.

Then the two bad guys’ approached us, as if they couldn’t find the target.

It seems that they are planning to ask us about the whereabouts of ‘us’.

“Hello, young ones?”

“……!”

As they spoke, I felt Cedric’s back stiffen slightly with tension.

Is Cedric afraid too?

“Ah, ah. Don’t be so scared, because even though we look like this, we’re not that bad.”

“Yes, that’s right. There’s just one thing I want to ask of you? Did six adults pass by wearing black cloaks?”

The big bully looked at us and asked a question.

The other wanted to observe us for a moment and then continued.

“Yes, just like the clothes you are wearing. Come to think of it, there are only six of you? Huh?”

… did they notice?
