29. Geomseong Hwanhyang
***
An unknown woman resembling Lainia, she met my eyes and looked at me with ruby-red eyes.
Looking at the spinning eyes, I started to feel like I had to answer something.
‘…… Oh, I’ve felt this a lot before.’
“Boy, what’s your name?”
“Eh, this is Evan.”
“My name is Kiara. She is running a small family.”
Introducing myself as Kiara, she slowly approached me without taking her eyes off me. Soon after, she came closer to my cheek if I stretched out her hand, and very slowly reached her hand toward my cheek…….
“I have a few questions for you—.”
“—That’s it.”
Keying-!
At the same time the sound of something breaking echoed in my head, someone hugged me from behind.
Feeling the back of my head wrapped around my voluptuous breasts, I could easily tell who was hugging me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I found it. You.”
“I haven’t heard the answer to my question yet. ─What are you doing here? Lord.”
Lainia began to build towards her Kiara with a snarling voice, like a beast meeting an enemy.
She tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, as if she didn’t know why Kiara was showing hostility towards her.
“I came all the way here to take you.”
“…… Anything to do with me?”
“Those nine tails. That is the great person who founded our Nine Lives. It is proof that you have awakened the blood of the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox.”
The adventurers who heard her words began to murmur.
“Nine Lives… ….”
“Crazy, beastman union.”
“They say even His Majesty the King of the Kings is going to give up…….”
“That’s why I’m asking.”

Lainia gnashed her teeth as she pressed lightly on the shoulder she was holding on to.
“You’re going to take me because you have something to do with me, who you once abandoned?”
“—Ah, it was once abandoned. Lainia. You have to speak straight.”
Kiara said, her eyes twinkling.
“Didn’t you run away?”
“Because you didn’t play the role of mother properly.”
“Eh, was that person Rania’s mother?”
“Yes, my biological mother whom she spoke of then.”
Surprised by the fact that Kiara is not an older sister, but a married woman who owns her, La Nia finished introducing her Kiara.
“The owner of Gyeongbyeongseong Fortress. It’s Kiara.”
“That quirk of talking to his mother…… It’s proof that she didn’t have a proper education.”
“I’m sorry. Because the parents in charge of education were so open-minded.”
“Yes. I am reflecting. At that time, I had to find you who ran away from the family somehow and bring you back to the family…… I am deeply reflecting.”
Kiara said that and her eyes twinkled.
“—That’s why, I thought I should take her now.”
Her mate-Kiara clapped her hands, and her guards, who followed her into her guild, slowly raised their weapons and began to surround us.
“I don’t know the details…… Listening to Kiara-sama, I think it’s right for Lainia-san to return!”
“Don’t resist. If you do not obediently comply with the arrest, we will add the crime of obstruction of justice.”
“—Yes, yes! My parents came to see me after years! Did you come to pick me up! Not following is an insult to me without parents!”
Not only the guards, but also the adventurers who watched us around. It radiated ferocious force and pressed this side.
I was caught up in that atmosphere and wondered if I should hand over Rainia obediently, so I raised my head and looked at Rania.
“Rainia-san, it is better to follow me…… To?”
Rainia was holding back some tears. She couldn’t win in a minute, and a single tear came out. The moment I saw those tears, something in my heart burned.
“—Mr. Rainia, the lord of this city, what is your rank?”
“…… Why are you curious about that all of a sudden?”
“Quickly.”
“It’s the count.”
Hearing that, I immediately got out of my voluptuous chest and grabbed my sword. Then, it radiated sword energy in all directions.
One Sword, One World.
The sword energy that erupted cuts through all the weapons possessed by the guards, the adventurers, Kiara, and the escorts hiding around them.
While people were looking at the severed weapons and making faces of bewilderment, I opened my mouth as I took out the sword of the sword from my chest.
“I ordered it in the name of the Sword Saint.”
The guild leader handed me this plaque and said this.
—From now on, you have the status of a quasi-count.
In other words, I had the same position in theory as the lord of this city.
“All gone.”
The guards were not my enemies.
* * *
Kiara, who was kicked out of the guild by Evan, was silently contemplating something in the mansion prepared by the lord.
The prisoners who followed as her escort saw Kiara silently banging her fingers and knocking on her armrest.
In a tense situation, in an atmosphere so threatening that she even forgot to breathe, Kiara opened her mouth.
“Good, very good.”
“My lord, I’m sorry, but what do you like?” ….”
“Doesn’t that child look good with the swordsman superhuman? That means that if you attack one of them, you can get your hands on the other as well.”
“Doesn’t that mean you have to fight both to attack one…? … ?”
“It would have been like that in the first place, but it was because those children had clear weaknesses for each other.”
Kiara had her bewitching smile as she remembered the Evan and Lynia she had seen. She is Evan, who is so good at sword skills that she was given the title of Sword Saint, and Lainia, who somehow awakened the power of a nine-tailed fox.
However, Evan had no resistance to the enchanting and hypnotic powers of her fox tribe, and Lainia didn’t know how to use it on her subjects who had awakened her powerful power.
“The power of the nine tails that child has is of course great, but the writer himself is like that…… A few charm resistance talismans from my family should suffice.”
“Then that kid… ….”
“That way is easier. She had no resistance to fascination. Without a helper by her side, she would be easier to deal with than Lainia.”
Evan sends himself or other beasts with enchanting abilities, and sends a thousand agents with outstanding combat skills to Rainia.
“Pounce when the two of you are apart. Then it will be very easy.”
This is your chance to get your hands on a superman.
Kiara smiled at that fact.
I dared to come to catch the cheeky b*tch who awakened the tail of a nine-tailed fox outside the family.
No matter how you think about it, you were lucky.
As she said, the heavenly gi she read was wrong.
* * *
That night, Kiara executed the operation.
The beastmen followed Kiara’s orders and aimed at Evan and Lainia.
Is the sky helping, or is it careless? Evan and Rania were not together. Rather, they were separate.
If it goes according to Kiara’s plan, the two can be dragged back to the family without any problems. However, there were several variables that she hadn’t considered.
“─What are these?”
“Freeze.”
“Even if a limb is broken, I will fix it.”
Lainia is already the leader of a high-level adventurer party with skills equivalent to that of a top-class adventurer, and of course she shares the same lodging as the party members.
“Pong Pong! I’m here to enchant you! Look at these leaves!”
“…… Who are you?”
“Pong Pong! Just look at these leaves!”
“No, because who are you?”
“Uh, huh?”
The fact that he thought that Evan would not prepare for her fascination once. These two were her mistakes.
Of course, Evan’s side could not be attributed to her mistake. There is no way she could get anything that resists her fascination in less than half a day.
However, Evan smiled at her as he touched the ring on her hand.
‘This is useful… ….’
A ring that was handed over from Canelli in the Royal Capital. Kanelli put it in his subspace with a technique called space connection using magic communication. It happened just a few hours ago.
Like Kanelli said that no mental interference would work while wearing this ring, even if the raccoon beastman swung something in front of her eyes, she didn’t feel anything.
“You mean, do you know what it means to attack a noble?”
“Hi-!? Yes, it will save you!”
“Who sent you?”
“That, you can’t talk!”
“Yeah, then you have nothing to say even if you die, right?”
Evan said that and took out one of her spare steel swords and held it. She stabs her sword into the heart of the raccoon beastman, who has already intertwined her limbs with her sword and cannot move.
The sword, which deliberately cut a little bit of flesh, pierced the chest and came out through the beastman’s back. In the process, he intentionally left a weak scar, so Soo-in was really tasting the feeling that his heart had been pierced.
“Now—what will happen if I pull out my sword here? Huh?”
“Yes, it is to save me…” … Well, I’ll tell you anything…….”
“Let me ask you one more time. Who sent you?”
Looking at Evan with a devilish smile, the raccoon beastman couldn’t help but tremble and speak behind the scenes.
* * *
Evan, who visited Lainia’s accommodation, saw the party members covered in sweat and dust and realized that they were also attacked.
Evan approached the girls who were sitting on the floor panting and taking a break and greeted them lightly, as if they were a village chief coming out to drink.
“Were they attacked here too?”
“Here too…… ? Evan, did you get hit too?”
“Yes, what. I was only one.”
While saying that, Evan looked around her and realized that there was no prisoner attacking them. Did you run away?
“What about the opponent?”
“I ran away~ She barely stopped trying to chase after Rania alone. Boy.”
“Where is Lainia?”
“Washing now. Why- you want to steal it?”
“…… Can I?”
“You come here.”
Caught in the sweaty and dusty arms of Agnes, Evan struggled to fall, but it wasn’t that easy. Because his body was honest.
After struggling in Agnes’ arms for a while, Lainia appeared after finishing her bath. Agnes, seeing that, immediately let go of her Evan and ran to her bathroom.
“It’s okay to spy on me when I wash my clothes~.”
“Anes, what nonsense are you talking about again… ….”
After finishing her bath, Lainia glared at Agnes, who was talking nonsense, then turned her head to Evan.
“—You got hit too.”
“Ah, this just happened to Mr. Agnes… ….”
“…… Is it.”
“I was attacked. I heard you got hit this way too?”
“They were pretty strong guys. If I hadn’t become a nine-tailed fox, I would have been beaten.”
Lainia chewed again on the strength of the beastmen who attacked her. If she hadn’t fully awakened her nine-tailed fox’s potential and greatly increased her physical abilities, and hadn’t the beastmen run away from the adventurers who had heard the commotion, she would have been defeated in an instant.
Finishing her flashback, Lainia looked down at her Evan and asked.
“So, why did you come?”
“What do you think you should do if you get slapped on the left cheek?”
“…… Will you give me your right cheek too?”
“No. That’s something that only adults can do. Because we are not adults…….”
Evan grinned and said as he gripped the hilt of her sword.
“If you get hit on the left cheek, you have to draw your sword. Let’s go.”
“Where?”
“Nine Lives.”
Hearing those words, Lainia felt her heart pounding.
“To your headquarters.”
Go back to her hometown.
