“Hey, you’re still young. Don’t scare them too much, Evans.”
“…….Hmm.”
It seemed that the muscular one’s name was Evans.
I rolled my eyes around.
‘Where did they see us? Did they follow us all the time when they saw us taking out gold coins from the store? Or at the inn restaurant?’
In any case, the important thing was to avoid this crisis.
After all, the average person doesn’t know much about artifacts.
It is even more difficult to imagine that there is a function that transforms a child into an adult.
‘So let’s just lie and move on.’
I pretended to shake my head and whispered in Cedric’s ear.
“…Sir Cedric. Just lie and let them go. I guess they didn’t notice it anyway. Say they ran to the stone bridge over there.”
Cedric immediately took my advice.
“I think I saw them running to the stone bridge over there.”
Even acting like an ordinary child with a terrified, trembling voice.
Cedric, I didn’t know, but you seem to have good acting skills.
“Oh, the stone bridge.”
“Let’s go.”
Fortunately, the bad guys didn’t seem to be suspicious of Cedric’s excellent acting skills.
As they turned away, we sighed inaudibly.
Then Ninaina said,
“……Let’s go too.”
“Right.”
So we tried to walk towards the forest again.
But a crisis has struck us again.
Clink, clink, clink.
It was the sound of something of clear metal falling to the ground and bouncing off the ground.
It was a very ominous sound.
“……!”
Right.
It was the sound of gold coins falling from a money bag and rolling to the ground.
The sound made us freeze like ice.
Above all, it was the perfect way to get the bad guys who rushed for money to come back.
“…this sound!”
Yes, as expected.
The two bad guys, who had already been halfway up the stone steps, ran towards us with their eyes flashing.
“There were gold coins! You guys!”
“……!”
I was terrified.
Of course, so did the other children.
‘They almost fly off the stone steps!’
The source of the gold coins that fell was the money bag I was holding earlier.
Alice was taking care of it, but it must have happened because I accidentally tied the pocket loosely.
‘Now that we have been found holding the gold coins, will they notice that their target and us were the same person. Well, even if they didn’t notice, they wouldn’t just go away as long as they saw the gold coins…’
Then, all of a sudden, Cedric carefully set me down on a nearby rock.
“Cedric?”
Why all of a sudden? Seeing my swaying eyes, Cedric answered.
“Wait here. I’ll fight, I am a knight.”
Then he pulled out the sword he had hidden inside.
Surreung–
The well-forged blue blade of the sword shone dangerously.
The bad guys, who had been running, were taken aback for a moment and backed off.
“What?”
“That little guy, you have a sword?”
But it only stopped for a while.
They quickly loosened their vigilance just because we were children.
Rather, it’s as if smiling when seeing cute things, isn’t it?
“Hahaha, look at that. The Young Master is mimicking a knight?”
“Unfortunately, Young Master, with such an imitation sword, it will be difficult to block our club and dagger!”
Well, that’s not a fake sword.
Where do you see that look fake?
Thinking like that, will the club be cut into pieces like radish before they can come to their senses?
…I wanted to say something, but I didn’t say anything because I thought it would be better for them to be careless like that.
Of all the market entrances, the entrance connected to this forest was the least crowded, so it was a pity that there was no one to help us.
It was then.
Following Cedric, Jake also stepped forward.
“…fireball.”
Then, in a low voice, he chanted the magic starter.
Soon, a sphere began to form in Jake’s tiny hands.
However, because it was not a blazing fire, it seemed that the other person could not see it well.
“Young ones, what are you doing? Huh? What kind of fighting prank is this?”
“These grown-ups don’t touch the young ones, but empty out the wealthy little ones entirely from head to toe! So, hurry up and give out all your belongings, including gold coins.”
……Oh, they’re bragging.
With the two robbers in front of us threatening and intimidating us now, that’s what I thought.
Oddly enough, I wasn’t scared.
Maybe it was because I was with Jake, who had a history of defeating a monster even though it was very small.
If not, is it because of Cedric who bravely stepped forward for me?
“Right! Give me all your money, children!”
…Somehow, it seemed that the end of the bad guys that was coming here after a while was already visible in my eyes.
