Chapter 152


Chapter 152 Strongest Sage, Arrests


"Wha . . . Who are you?"


"Did we have this guy in the security?"


The city ruler was perplexed to see me who suddenly showed up .


Huh?


The reaction is not what I expected .


And I"ve gone all the trouble of coming here myself as a target of his attacks .


Don"t tell me . . .


" . . . Don"t tell me, you were sending a.s.sa.s.sins without even knowing my face?"


"a.s.sa.s.sins? What are you--no wait, a brat wearing adventurer clothes with Disqualified Crest . . . Could it be, you"re Mathias Hildesheimr!?"


. . . Seriously . He really didn"t know how I look .


Yet he wanted to take me hostage huh .


"Yeah . You got that right . "

" . . . Where"s the women?"


"Ruli and the others are in the back . Oy, everyone, come on out . "


The four showed up with Iris in the front .


I"m in the center of the room while the four are at the entrance .


Seeing that the city ruler sneers at us . . . and shouts out loud .


"Kuku . . . All members, surround him! . . . Fool! Straying away from the women on your own!"


With those words, hidden doors on the floors and ceilings opened and the city ruler"s underlings came out of them .


. . . It"s way too crude for an ambush .


At least try giving the signal without us noticing .


I threw out magic and fists at coming underlings while thinking that .


The attackers crumbled down without a sound .


Befitting of a bunch under this city ruler, their movements were also really crude .


The most difficult part was preventing myself from killing them by mistakes .


I"d like to squeeze info out of them after all .


"Soii!"


"GYAAAAAAAAA!"



. . . Well, such consideration seems to be irrelevant to Iris as an underling who was going to get pa.s.s her got blown off into the wall .


The city ruler was watching that in blank amazement .


Thus, his underlings were annihilated in under 30 seconds .


"Ho . . . How are you fighting! Weren"t you a healer, the weak point of the party!"


Ruli and the others are looking at the roaring reddened city ruler with pitying looks .


They"ve ceased recognizing him as a threat anymore .


"He really believed that Mathi-kun is in charge of healing . . . "


"He"d have known that it was a mistake simply by looking at his equipment and stuff . . . . "


" . . . I mean, did we ever get hurt to need healing anyway?"


Now that you mention it . . . I don"t think we ever did .


We should have some training to cope against injury to prevent inactions in case of emergency . . . but it"s been getting postponed .


Well, putting that aside for now .


"Dogiel Melkia, you"re under arrest . "


I took a rope out of Storage magic as I said that .


"Wha . . . Me, under arrest!? On what right!"


Don"t tell me, he really didn"t know .


Then why would they hunker down in this place .


I made an eye signal at Eiku while thinking that .


Eiku took out the doc.u.ment from the king and thrust it before the city ruler .


"Your apprehension has been ordered by His Majesty the king"s decree . With my presence, the executive proxy, Mathias has been endowed with the right to arrest you . "


"Wha, it"s fake! This must be a mistake--gah"


I shot magic at the screaming city ruler and tied him with the rope .


"Now then . . . Now we can leave it to you right?"


I asked Eiku .


"Yes . Mathias-sama could also execute him if you wished so, however . . . The kingdom administration would be grateful if I could bring him back alive . "


Well, I guess that"s so .


Even this foolish city ruler might spit out some useful info with some tortures .


And he probably would get it easier if he died here .


However, I personally don"t have any reason to let this guy die off so easily .


"I understand, I"ll leave the rest to you . . . We"ve got something we ought to do ourselves after all . "


"Ought to do?"


"Yeah . . . . I"ve got an idea about how our raid here got leaked . "
