Jim Robert had just finished greeting Countess Grace Walker, his second daughter Lise, and his third daughter and childhood friend Alicia, and was about to leave the Countess' house with a clear face.
The only regret was that Sam's fiancées, Karen Murasaki and Mizuki Amemiya, were away on business, so he could not greet them.
Jim once again bowed to the Countesses Walker who had gone to the trouble of coming to the door to see him off.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. My parents and I will be back to greet you."
As we parted, Grace smiles gently at Jim, who apologizes repeatedly.
"It's okay. You are like a son to me. You are welcome to visit me anytime.
"Thank you, Aunt ......."
Although he had no connection to Alicia, Jim was the son of a dear friend of Grace's.
Just because the marriage proposal is off the table does not mean that the relationship is off the table.
The same is true for Alicia, his childhood friend.
"Jim, I'll see you soon."
"Yes, Alicia. We'll see each other again. This time as a childhood friend. As a good friend.
Yes. I'll be waiting for you.
They both smiled and shook hands naturally.
Jim felt the warmth of Alicia's hand on his and gently pulled his hand away, showing no sign of regret.
"Now, if you'll excuse me..."
Jim was about to say goodbye, but he was at a loss for words.
He turned around as if he had been shot by a bullet, and felt a general chill run through his body.
"Jim?"
"Is something wrong?"
"It's not my imagination ......, I've got a bad feeling about this."
Alicia and Lise ask worriedly, but Jim does not reply.
Alicia and Lise looked out through the open doorway and saw a figure in front of the gate of the Count's house.
One shadow seemed to be a boy, and the other a woman.
And at the feet of the figures, two of the gatekeepers of the count's house were found bleeding and lying on the ground.
"--oh, my God!
"Noaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Liese screamed and Alicia screamed and hugged her mother.
A moment later, baby dragons descend from the air to protect Alicia and the others, and roar.
"Guruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Alicia and the others let out a hostile cry that Alicia and the others had never heard before, and the children stared at someone just as Jim had.
For a moment, Jim's body jumped reflexively when the children appeared, but he did not look back and quietly called out to Alicia and the others.
"Auntie, Alicia, Lise, please come inside the house."
There is no doubt that thugs have appeared.
Whoever attacked Count Walker and for what purpose is unknown, but we know what we must do.
Jim stepped forward to protect the women.
If it were a simple matter of skill, Lise, with her superior swordsmanship, would be a few steps ahead of him.
However, she is too heavy to fight.
Then Jim has no choice but to stand in front.
Jim is still one of the top students at the school of magic and has experience in actual combat. If it is a robbery, he is confident that he has the ability to defeat two or more of them.
Above all, there is a reason why Jim cannot back down. Alicia is there.
With Sam out of the picture, it was Jim's turn.
"Who the hell are you?"
Jim calls out with intimidation, and an obese boy with blonde hair and a woman who resembles the boy unceremoniously enter the property.
"Do they know we're Countess Walker's?" he asked. I am afraid that all of you, father and son perhaps, have committed a crime together. However, we cannot allow thugs like you to enter the house when the master is away. I beg you to leave."
Just leave us here, and we'll be fine.
I regret leaving the assailants unchecked, but if you will not fight them here, so be it.
We can have the Knights follow them later, and above all, we want to treat the wounded.
"...... Jim, be careful."
"Yes, I know. By the way, can your friend's little dragons fight?"
In case there are others in the group.
Jim wanted a dragon cub to join the fight.
Even though they are children, they are still dragons. He thought that a human would be no match for him.
"Yes, yes, but..."
But?"
"These children are still children. In the worst case, they could destroy King's Landing.
"--A dragon indeed. Then let's have him stay here and protect Alicia and the others. I'll deal with the thugs. I don't want you to ever leave the backs of the dragons.
But...
"I've shown my face in so many disgusting ways. Let me at least try to look good."
I cowered and showed her my shoulders without looking back, and I noticed Alicia nodding behind me.
"Jim, please take it easy."
"I know."
"Jim ...... sorry. I wish there had been someone else at least."
"Lise-sama, it's those attackers who are to blame. You are very frail and I beg you not to grab your sword."
"...... Okay. Take it easy, Jim."
"Yes, sir."
Following Alicia, Lise apologizes, but she has no reason to apologize.
It was all the attackers' fault.
"My husband and Sam will be here. Don't do anything rash.
"Aunt, yes, I understand."
After Grace voiced her concern, Jim took a deep breath and took a few steps toward the thugs.
At least Alicia and the others were protected by the baby dragon, so there was no chance of anything happening to them. The only problem is that he is more worried about King's Landing, as long as Jim does not let the assailants pass behind him.
This is the first time I am fighting to protect someone like this. Therefore, he cannot hide his nervousness, but he does not want the attackers to realize it.
Trying desperately to keep his composure, he glared at the boy and the woman.
The attacker, a boy, gripped a long, ominous sword that was disproportionate to his fat frame, and smiled a crooked smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
