CHAPTER 120 – THE FLOWER IRIS

Watching from a distance from the gambling den, there were some guys running away from a distant building .

The buildings weren’t connected though .

?It’s probably them?

?Their movements are too easy to tell . Another underground path huh?

?I’ll leave it to you, Kakeru?

I followed them with Iris .

I followed them relying on my ears and reached a building on the outskirts of the town .

It was quite a good mansion, and there were also rough-looking gate guards in the front .

?Is it there??

?I’m sure that they entered there . It’s also noisy inside . Also?

?Also??

?I smell violence?

?It’s not……your nose huh?

I silently nodded . It would be more of how the atmosphere feels .

?What do you think??

I asked Iris .

?……let’s charge in . While they haven’t destroyed the evidence yet?

?Yosh?

?I’ll leave the front to Kakeru . I’ll go from the back?

?I got it . Are you alright by yourself??

?It’s fine . ……I’m not a woman who is just protected?

?I see?

She’s still as stubborn as usual .

After confirming that Iris took a long, roundabout path, I also went from the front .

?Stop! Who are you!?

The tough-looking gate guard asked what and who .

I drew Eleanor and Hikari, and divided the man into four .

Guys swarmed out of the mansion .

?Well then, let’s do it?

?Hikari will do her best too!?

Eleanor who laughed with pleasure and Hikari who completely grew up like a Demon Sword .

I clad myself with the dark cloak aura and slashed forward with the two .

?E-Enemy attack!?

?Wait, this guy’s……?

?The Abysmal Twin Swords……the Demon Sword Wielder??

?H-Hiiiiiiiiii!!!?

There were those who were courageous to step forward, but there were also those who crawled away with weak knees .

I slashed those guys without mercy .

?Look how overprotective you are?

?What are you talking about??

?Kukuku?

Eleanor continued to laugh in pleasure .

I greatly appealed myself as the Demon Sword Wielder, lured the enemy, and slashed forward .

I walked through the garden of corpses and entered the mansion .

?Well, what would you do??

?There’s a sound coming from there?

I heightened my hearing and advanced deeper into the mansion .

What came was

?A-re?, it’s a dead end??

?What useless ears those are?

?No, it’s under this?

I stabbed Eleanor to the ground .

A hollow sound without substance was made .

I pulled the sword and touched it as if to search around .

There was a lever . I pulled it at once .

?A hidden staircase huh . From how it looks, an underground prison huh?

?Let’s go?

I walked down the stairs .

There was a room there when I got down .

Inside the room lit by a magic light, there was one boy .

The boy was using magic on the things that seem to be Mercouri’s paper notes .

He’s in the middle of engraving crests .

?I see, this is the site of the forgery huh?

?There should be no mistaking it . The problem is, why is that boy able to use that magic?

?Hey, you, why are you???

?Don’t come!?

Only one step and it was stopped by the boy’s call .

It was a voice of desperation, at one’s wits’ end .

?Don’t be scared?

Hikari returned to her human form and kindly talked to him .

?Otou-san is not a bad person?

?It’s not that, I didn’t mean that . This!?

The boy pointed at his neck . There was a collar .

A suspicious light is flashing repeatedly in the center of the collar .

?This, they said it’s a magic that would explode if a person I don’t know gets near!?

?Something like that exists??

?Yes it does?

Eleanor answered promptly .

?That’s why, don’t come here?

Hikari looked up to me with a troubled face .

?Return to a sword, Hikari . I’ll do something about it?

?Un!?

Hikari returned to her Demon Sword form .

Well then, what should I do?

?It’s useless even if you think of it?

I heard a man’s voice from behind .

I turned around, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a merchant’s outfit walking down the stairs .

He is showing a smile, but the blade scar that cut across his left eye emphasizes that he’s not a person like his smile shows .

?You’re the mastermind??

?That is right . I’m Galassimos Cichi?

?Where did this boy came from??

?Which answer would you like to receive? Is it whether he is a small hammer that we forged, or a secret child of the King??

Galassimos grinned .

?The King’s secret child? ……I see, that’s why he’s able to use the royal family’s magic?

?Kukuku . No wonder that little girl didn’t know?

Eleanor laughed in glee .

?That’s right?

?Immediately remove the collar’s magic?

A voice sounded from behind Galassimos, and at the same time, a sword was pointed to his neck .

The one who appeared was Iris .

She was unusually showing a face of anger and glared at the man from behind . She was listening huh .

?Remove??

?Hurry up, if you still care for your life?

?Alright?

Galassimos reached out his hand while grinning .

?Don’t do anything weird??

?I only need to remove it right??

After saying that, Galassimos used magic .

The next instant, the collar in the boy’s neck started to brighten .

……its flashing light got faster, and the light became more wicked .

It was a phenomenon that was far away from the image of “remove” .

?What did you do??

Iris seemed to have noticed as well . She questioned the man with a strong tone .

?You told me to remove it after all . That is something that would absolutely explode when worn . It has only two effects, it would either explode when a person not in the settings approached, or explode after being activated?

?Y-You meant by removing it is……?

?I removed the stopper that stops the explosion?

?Stop it right away!?

?It’s useless, I told you that . It’s a magic that only results into explosions?

?You bastard! You placed such thing on a child!?

?Of course . That would be the greatest evidence . It is natural to erase it when time comes right??

?Ku!?

Iris groaned .

Galassimos looked at me with a hideous smile and said with a friendly tone .

?It would be better if you go away you know, Demon Sword Wielder . It is a magic that would explode from the center of the flashing collar . You’ll get caught in it if you stand there?

?The place you’re standing in is the safety zone huh?

The man crooked the corner of his mouth .

?Well, if you wish to bond with him for the last time, I won’t stop you . It won’t explode since it’s near the countdown?

?I see?

I approached the boy .

The boy was terrified, sat on the ground, and peed .

He did not even react even though I approached him . He was that scared .

?I’ll just say this . It will instantly explode if you destroy it?

?Instantly, huh?

?Are you going to do it??

?Do you think I can??

?If it is you?

?Otou-san, do your best!?

The mother and daughter sent cheers from my head .

I placed a hand on the collar and pointed Hikari on her Demon Sword form on it .

?……one-two!?

I used the warp feather the instant I cut the collar .

I warped to Orycuto’s valley .

The master of the valley, Orycuto, was startled seeing me .

?Ahh?, sorry . Well, you won’t die if it’s you?

The next instant after I said that, the collar I’m holding exploded .

It was a condensed explosion .

Explosive flames and impact whirled within a radius of 2 meters, but nothing happened outside of that .

The explosion stopped .

?Geho, geho?

The sand whirled by the explosion entered my mouth, and I coughed .

That was all .

?Unscathed huh?

?All thanks to you?

The instant it exploded, I clad myself with the dark cloak aura .

I completely used the aura from the two for defense .

I focused only for that, so I was unscathed .

On the other hand, Orycuto was crushed and destroyed into pieces .

Although he’s regenerating, he was shattered .

?Sorry for getting you involved?

I apologized with a few words and returned to the mansion using the warp feather .

?W-What……?

The man was stunned .

He seems like he could not understand what just happened .

?Kakeru! Are you alright??

?It was quite strong . It would’ve been instant death if it wasn’t me?

Iris was relieved in a moment, then glared at Galassimos .

?You, you put such thing on an innocent child!?

She got furious and sent out her back fist . Galassimos was hit by it directly and was blown away, crashing into the wall .

?I-Impossible . If it comes to this???

Galassimos reached out his hand towards the boy again .

He tried to do something, something to erase the evidence .

I expected it and quickly got in between them .

I clad myself with the mother and daughter aura, and emphasized without words that I won’t let him do anything anymore .

?……ku! Damn it!?

Galassimos cursed . On his side, Iris looked down at him with cold eyes .

?Prepare yourself, you shall be executed without a doubt?

?You’ll put him to trial??

?Umu?

Iris nodded .

Iris said that he would be executed without a doubt, but there would still be a trial huh . What a tedious thing to do .

?Isn’t that very like her . As a person engaged in national affairs, she must take procedural justice?

Hmm .

I see, engaged in national affairs huh .

I looked at Iris . She was so enraged that she looked like she would spit out fire from her eyes .

?Iris?

?What??

I chopped Galassimos’ head .

His head was severed from his neck and blood spurts like a fountain .

The boy screamed and fainted . Iris stared at me with narrowed eyebrows .

?What are you doing??

?It’s my motto to kill bastards when I see them?

When I said that, although Iris seemed complicated, she somewhat, showed a satisfied expression .

?

I went outside with Iris .

I put down the boy who still hasn’t gained his consciousness to the ground .

Iris stood in front of me and looked straight at me .

?Thank you, Kakeru . The case was solved thanks to you?

?It’s solved with this??

?Yes?

Iris turned around . Her subordinates that finally came swarmed inside .

I thought, I can leave the rest to her .

?Really, thank you so much?

?Don’t mind it?

?Also……thank you?

?Un??

She told me thanks with a somewhat different tone .

Her expression changed .

There existed not Princess Iris, but just Iris .

A girl who flushed her cheeks .

Her tone became very soft .

?Can I ask, one more thing??

?Yeah?

I guessed what she would tell me .

?Please……break my engagement?

Iris who relied on me looked very cute .

I pulled her into an embrace and kissed her lips .

?Leave it to me?

I planned to do that from the start .
