Although I Have No Interest In Young Girls……
“What’s with you? Where did you appear from?”
“Er, I was here since the beginning. Leaving that aside, can you move out of the way? You’re a hindrance”
The guys whose veins pop out from my words. Although the girl appears baffled, she’s unconsciously grabbing my clothes.
“Lad, looks like you want to get hurt huh?”
A guy who approaches while cracking his fingers and making his threat. I smirked, and the short-fused guy punched at me. His fist, that’s swung downwards vigorously, punches my cheek……to no avail and slips through.
Physical attacks are ineffective against me, a wraith. It basically ends up like this, although I can touch objects, humans, and so forth if I put my consciousness to it. It’s because I materialized so she doesn’t get suspicious that the girl could touch me.
The guy was put off balance from the unexpected occurrence. Without passing up the opportunity, I grab the guy’s head. And then
“Drain”
I absorb the guy’s life force and magic power. The guy withered and became a mummy in an instant. The guy’s companions who stop moving because of the sudden occurrence. It seems the girl is also surprised and unable to move.
“……Yo, you……wha, what did you fucking do?”
Looking at their companion that suddenly withered, the complexions of the guys, who were cocky until just now, are changing from horror.
“What, you ask, I simply sucked him, here”
I show my palm to the trembling guys. In my palm was a magic crystal that’s created through the life force and magic power that’s absorbed from the withered guy. Even a magic crystal that’s created using an entire person can’t better the magic crystal that Boss created. I wonder, just how much magic power did that person pack in there.
I pour magic power into the magic crystal that I created and create an improvised Magic Tool. I throw the magic crystal that’s packed with magic power at the guys. The guys tried to distance themselves from the thing that’s suddenly thrown at them, but the magic crystal crashed onto the ground, and
Paan!
, it exploded. It’s a mild impact but because the sound is loud, the guys fall into a state of panic. In the meantime, I grab the young girl’s hand and make our way through the guys.
I scatter 2 pieces of magic crystals as we make our way through and alter the scenery with Wind Magic so that it isn’t visible from the surroundings. 2 Opus Killers that I’ve been entrusted by Boss probably appeared from the magic crystals. I’ve got to go and retrieve them afterwards.
After running in the back alley for a short while, the young girl comes to a halt, perhaps because she noticed the fact that the pursuers aren’t chasing after us from behind……no, she just simply reached her limit huh.
“Haa……haa……tha, tha……n……k, yo……u”
Maybe it’s because she ran the whole time, she’s even out of breath. I take out a blue magic crystal from my pocket. I pour a little bit of magic power in and place it into the girl’s mouth.
The young girl was about to spit it out because something foreign was suddenly placed into her mouth, but she was surprised by the thing that immediately came out and closed her mouth. It’s water that came out of the magic crystal. It’s a magic tool that I created by sealing Water Magic within, an improvised magic tool like the one just now.
Even while she’s feeling surprised, the young girl gulps it down to moisten her parched throat. Maybe it’s because the effect wore off after she drinks it for a while, the young girl takes the magic crystal out from her mouth. It’s just that, she’s looking at the magic crystal in her hand that she took out and being embarrassed though.
Well, I understand what she wants to say. It’s probably difficult for her to return something that came out of her own mouth. She’s a girl after all. I create a ball of water in my hand and direct it to the young girl. Perhaps the young girl also understood my intention, she apologetically placed the magic crystal into the ball of water.
I guess she didn’t want the stone that has her own saliva on it to be touched as it is. Well, it’s natural for a girl to think that way. I won’t say anything.
“……Thank you for saving me”
The girl politely bows. Although her appearance is filthy, there are glimpses of elegance in each and every one of her movements. Was she raised somewhere well-off originally?
“I just incidentally happened to be there so don’t have to worry about it. So what was that just now?”
“……That just now was the underlings of the fellows who control this Empire behind the scenes”
Heh~, there are such fellows huh. Come to think of it, was there any in the Holy Kingdom as well? Such fellows, they’re anywhere huh.
“……Because of them, both Okaa-sama and Otou-sama”
As far as what I heard from the conversation between those fellows just now, it’s because of them that this child’s parents died……a behind the scenes organization huh. I wonder if it’s useable during the war with this country? I’m pondering by myself, and the girl before my eyes
“Thank you very much for saving me. I would very much like to somehow express my gratitude, but as you can see, this is my plight. I am sorry that I have nothing to repay you with”
, says and bows at me. Even though she doesn’t particularly have to worry about it. The young girl who carries on to look around the vicinity and leaves. Although it’s not my hobby to follow behind a girl, I want to hear a little a bit more about those fellows just now. It seems to be easier, to make use of those fellows.

“Oi, the Dragon’s Tear’s still not coming?”
“Sorries. We found that it was hidden in the aforementioned noble’s basement, but it was taken by their daughter who survived”
“Tsk, quickly go and fucking find it! Without that, the new Blue Dragon-sama is gonna run amok! Spare me the troublesome stuff!”
“It, it will be fine, Leader. We know the daughter’s location. We can probably capture her in just a bit more”
