Chapter 143 – If you suddenly do this…
Chapter 141
Estelle, Celine, and Elfriede and Cynthia left the room with their hoods on.
Looking carefully at the surroundings, I moved forward. When the stairs came out, Estelle said.
“We must find the location of the key people.”
“Is there a basement here?”
“No. There was none.”
“Then let’s go upstairs. Originally, the place where the boss is located is usually high, right?”
Especially this kind of organization did more. Occupying the highest floor also had the meaning of representing the authority of the head.
Celine asked.
“How many floors are there?”
“I don’t know. But I know this is on the second floor. We came up from the floor right below, that is, the first floor.”
“Hmm…”
Estelle looked around. Apparently, there seemed to be only one way to the top.
“There is no other option. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Elfriede took the lead, followed by Estelle, Celine, and Cynthia. No one was there when I climbed the stairs, but I heard voices from the hallway leading from the stairs.
As Elfriede was about to draw her sword, Estelle said.
“I’ll shut her mouth first.”
“Okay.”
《 Sacred Chain 》
A chain of light was ejected from the air, shutting the mouths of the people in the hallway at once.
“Aww!”
“Eup!?”
As soon as the mouths of the gang members were blocked, Elfriede immediately ran out. She moved swiftly like a flash and struck the back of the necks of the gang members who had her mouth tied, knocking them all out.
“…Strange.”
I successfully knocked out the people in the hallway, but Estelle muttered something strange to herself. Celine, overhearing her self-talk, asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“…The chain is a little…Weak, but it feels like the strength has loosened.”
“…Was it because you used divine power?”
When Celine spoke in a worried voice, Estelle was slightly taken aback. She said as if Celine didn’t have to worry.
“It’s not that much of a problem. Do not worry too much.”
“…Don’t use that power from now on, saintess. The hero will be sad.”
“…I try not to use it.”
Estelle answered and told Cynthia and Celine.
“There might be more people in the room, so let’s go quietly. The stairs on this floor are on the other side.”
“Are you going straight up?”
At Celine’s question, Estelle looked at the rooms in the hallway. The number was quite large. If she went to check each one, she might have noticed and ran away.
“I guess I should.”
“Yes.”
Elfriede has gathered all of her stunned gang members in one place. Estelle saw that and asked.
“Are you going to save me?”
“I am a warrior. You can’t hurt people, can you?”
“I can do it, but.”
Elfriede was a little surprised by Estelle’s calm attitude, but she shook her head and said.
“…No, that’s fine. You can’t let a guilty person rest in death. I will hand you over to the guards and make you pay for your crimes. There’s no need to dirty the saintess’ hands.”
“If that’s what Hero Elfriede wants, do it. Let’s go right up.”
As soon as they climbed the stairs at the end of the opposite hallway and headed to the next floor, Elfriede stopped them. She then raised her sword and used the blade like a mirror to check who was in the hallway.
“There you go again.”
“…It’s crowded.”
Selene looked at the people reflected in the sword like Elfriede and Estelle, and suddenly had a question.
“Oh. But that sword, isn’t it a holy sword?”
“I’m still looking for the holy sword. It seems that the sword was stolen when he was caught. This is the sword used by members of this organization.”
“I need to find the holy sword.”
Estelle counted the number of people reflected in the blade, and then she said.
“This, let me draw your attention.”
“Can’t we just do it like before?”
“I don’t think I can tie them all together because there are so many.”
“I see. So what do you plan to do?”
Estelle lowered the hood. Elfriede was a little surprised by that appearance, and she said.
“Saintess, if you reveal her face…”
“Let’s assume that Saint Cynthia and Celine captured me after I escaped.”
“Yes?”
“While our attention is drawn to us, Hero Elfriede, please subdue those close to you. For those who are far away, I will bind them with the last name.”
It was about acting. Upon hearing that, Celine and Cynthia nodded as if they were okay, and Elfriede followed suit.
“…I see. I will.”

“Leave this!!”
When a loud sound came from the end of the hallway, the members of the Black Pandinus shifted their gaze together. Two of their companions were approaching, holding onto a dark-haired woman.
Seeing that, the hooded giant, Bacardi, shouted.
“What is there? Isn’t that the b*tch you locked up on the second floor, why are you here!?”
“I escaped. That’s why I caught him.”
“What? Really?”
Bacardi was the man who saw her when Estelle was imprisoned. It’s a special prison that confines divine powers, but I wondered how they got out of it.
“You’re a two-year-old priest. How did you get out?”
“…They came out after bending behind bars.”
“Huh, you’re stronger than you look, aren’t you? How long have you been together?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I can’t see where it went, so the guys downstairs are looking for it.”
“Is that so?…But among our gang members, was there a b*tch with big breasts like you?”
At Bacardi’s words, the large-breasted female member of the organization, who was quiet, spoke.
“…Do you want to die?”
“Oops, sorry. It’s been a b*tchy year, yes. It looks like Hennessy.”
Bacardi looked at Estelle, who was sulking.
“If you were going to get caught again like this anyway, why don’t you stay calm? Just take out more power. If you do this, you have no choice but to tie your hands and feet, right?”
“Shut up. Who kidnapped you on purpose…”
“I didn’t want to do it at all, but you were planning such a bold escape plan. But what? Your capable comrades have captured you.”
Bacardi laughed as he said that. At his obvious ridicule, Estelle narrowed her brows and said,
“If you wait a little longer, your colleagues will come to rescue you!”
“Oh, is that so? Where? Where and when are you coming from?”
As Bacardi provoked her, Estelle silently lowered her head for a moment. Then she slowly raised her head and said with a cheeky smile.
“…Now♡”
At that moment, Bacardi and others saw a hooded woman leaping out from the end of her hallway. Seeing that she was wearing a hood, she was a member of the same organization, but she was holding a sword.
“Wait, that…!”
Seeing this, Bacardi was startled and pulled out the sword from her waist, but it was too late. The woman fluttered the hem of her hood and struck Bacardi in the back of the neck.
《 Sacred Chain 》
“Raid…!!!”
Looking at their comrades being subdued in an instant, those who were a little further away tried to inform the upper floors of this fact, but they couldn’t because the sun-drenched chains blocked their mouths and entangled their bodies.
As the chained people were knocked down by the inexhaustible speed of the woman, the gangsters holding onto Estelle let go. Estelle looked at the woman on the left who was fighting Bacardi and said.
“You worked hard acting, Celine.”
“…I was really nervous because I thought I would be caught.”
“You’re doing well, what~.”
Estelle said she sensed the silence upstairs.
“As expected, here, each floor is well soundproofed, and the height between floors is high, so I can’t hear the sound very well. I think they did it this way so as not to inform outsiders of what was going on inside…”
On the contrary, it helped them in the current situation. Estelle was about to tell Elfriede that she had a hard time, but she felt the presence of someone coming up the stairs and looked behind her.
There were two members of the Black Pandinus. Among them, a member of the organization with a feminine body said.
“…What is it, Bacardi? Why did you sit down to sleep?”
“That person must be…”
It was the voice of one of the gang members who appeared in front of Estelle and Celine when they were locked up. The name was obviously Hennessy.
She looked at the situation for a moment, then let out a blank laugh.
“Ha, did you guys do this?”
“…I guess I have to deal with two more people?”
“Who said he was beaten so easily?”
《 Sacred Chain 》
Estelle activates her vocal skills with her dialogue and answering dance. But something amazing happened.
Boom!
“…Did you avoid it?”
The two members of the organization with Hennessy quickly evaded the s*xual act. Thanks to that, the sun-drenched chain hit the floor of the awkward hallway.
At the moment when Estelle was slightly taken aback by that appearance, Hennessy said,
“Jin, let’s just deal with it in our line. I have to lock them all up, so can’t I just kill them?”
“…I know.”
The men called Hennessy and Jean took out their weapons. Even Hennessey’s big bent song, a man named Jin held a Qatar in both hands.
It is true that Estelle’s s*xual organs have definitely weakened and slowed down, but it was not at a level that normal people would react to. A very experienced high-ranking knight or an S-ranked adventurer might not know…
‘…The two people here are at that level?’
Elfriede slowly raised his sword and came forward in front of her.
“…I think it must be these guys.”
“Yes?”
“The boss of this place we were looking for.”
At Elfriede’s words, Hennessy smiled and said.
“I’m not the boss, but I am a high-ranking official.”
“…Not the boss?”
Estelle narrowed her brows. Among the members of the Black Pandinus organization that I have met so far, there are no people with this level of skill. However, if they were only high-ranking executives, it was unexpected how strong the boss would be.
Hennessy slowly lifted the curved sword.
“Now, let’s all go back to where we were.”
#
Ha, f*ck.
“Alicia.”
“Mi, I’m sorry. I haven’t felt it yet…”
“No, there is no need to be sorry for that. What I want to ask is you still not feeling any sign of anyone? Smell or whatever.”
“Ugh, yes.”
If you still can’t feel the traces, then it’s not around here…
I searched all over Luria Village and its surroundings, but couldn’t find anything. Suddenly, I thought, these people couldn’t have evaporated, and they couldn’t have gone very far. However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any traces, so it was a puzzling feeling.
“…How did you get them?”
“Didn’t I use something like transmission magic?”
“Ah.”
That’s right, that was it. The troublesome magic that brought me and Celine from the city of Bourbon to the Glacier Mountains, the northern part of the Apollo kingdom.
“…Wait a minute, that means you don’t know where everyone might have gone.”
“That, I guess. We’ll all be together, but…”
“Ha ha.”
If this is the case, it is difficult to know how to find it. I don’t even know how far away it is… Is there any way to know where it went?
I was walking around Luria Village while thinking about it. Alicia was just looking at me for nothing, but she said that she didn’t have to.
“Alicia, it’s not your fault this time…”
“Oh, I know.”
“But why…”
At that time, someone talked to us as we were walking in Luria Village.
“Oh, hey!”
“Huh?”
“Wow, that’s right! Warrior!!!”
“Huh???”
It was a girl familiar with the long, straight hair of her purple hair. She looked at me with a refreshing smile, wearing her sorcerer’s robe and large cone hat.
The neat attire visible under the robe was the uniform of the Royal Academy of Magicians in Athens.
…Why are you here?
“Chloe?”
“Hero~!”
Chloe quickly ran towards me and landed a body slam on me.
“Billion.”
“Wow! What is it, you have to accept it!”
“No, I was embarrassed because he suddenly appeared… Why are you here?”
“I have been dispatched to Diana Kingdom for training! So I was on my way to the royal road, but I never thought I would meet the hero… We must be matched in heaven too~.”
Seeing Chloe say that while twisting her body, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“…Heh heh.”
You are still the same.
“So, hero, did you receive the letter I sent you the other day?”
“Yes, I did.”
“I asked you back then, are you dating Saint Estelle? Surely it’s still not a substitute for holding hands, is it?”
“…Yes, we are dating.”
“Kyaa~! I knew that too. Now it’s my turn, right?”
“Heh heh…”
After laughing at Chloe’s bold words, he thought of something about her and grabbed her by the shoulder. Then Chloe cowered back and blushed.
“Heh, yo, hero? If you do this all of a sudden… Should I say that I’m not ready yet… I’m a bit plain in my underwear today…”
…I don’t know what I’m misunderstanding, but I thought of something else.
If the four people were transported with the transfer magic, there wouldn’t be any traces of the magic.
The one who can recognize the traces of that magic is, of course, a wizard. And now the wizard has appeared before my eyes!
“Chloe, help me!”
“…Yes? What?”
“Are you busy right now?”
“Come leisurely and have time. But what are you asking for help with?”
Seeing Chloe tilting her head, I grabbed her hand impatiently.
“Whoah… Yo, hero. Why is her hand suddenly….”
“No time! Follow me and I’ll explain!”
“…Yes?”
I grabbed Alicia again and put it around her side, grabbed Chloe’s hand and kicked her to the ground.
“Hey, hero!?”
“Run!!!”
I’m in a hurry right now!!
