69 Rescue
The knights" footsteps are approaching. I listened to those sounds with fear while closing my eyes. The pendant I got from Ciel was s.h.i.+ning on my chest as a warning to me, the soft light reached the bottom of my eyelids.
[Ah? What"s that?]
The pendant"s light leaks out and the knight reaches his hand out towards my chest. Gyaaa, his finger touched my skin and feels gross!
At that time, *ga~n**doka~n*, loud clattering sounds like that was drawing nearer. I open my eyes.
I saw the knight who has has gotten near me raise a stupid-sounding ‘hebuu" and plunged towards the boxes.
[Rei, are you safe!?]
[Ragna!]
Ragna, who looks sterner and appeared even stronger than usual, and a woman with a large build helped me up.
With me freed limbs, I held on to Ragna.
[Umu, it looks like you"re not injured.]
Ragna briefly checks my body then strongly hugged me. This powerful hug that feels as if my internal organs will jump out with one wrong step, it"s been a while.
[Uugh, you"re using too much strength…!]
[Ooh, my bad.]
Even though he learned to hold back his strength recently, he must have been extremely worried about me.
[You are the one called Rei, huh, it"s a relief that you look well. Well then, I will be going to help His Highness Westin"s side so I"ll leave the Princess to you guys. You have my thanks.]
[ I"m very sorry to have asked your a.s.sistance, Olgdono. May the fortunes of war be with you!]
Ragna gives a speech of encouragement and the swordswoman lightly waves her hand.
[Please tell my student to hold himself together. Later.]
The swordswoman called Olga turned her heels with nimble movements unlike her big appearance and disappeared outside the door.
[That person just now… who was she? Her disciple? Also, where"s Ciel?]
[We"re leaving this place first. Let"s talk on our way.]
Ragna who lifted the powerless me to his chest with one hand gets out of the room.
[Wait a moment, Lizard, I need to tear those guys apart or I won"t be satisfied.]
We heard Dy"s voice from the bangle stopping us. Uwah, it somehow feels strange that even though we can"t see him, we can hear his voice.
[Umu, I also feel the same. However, we must not alter Rei"s safety. We must bring him to a safe place as soon as possible.]
Dy keeps silent after Ragna"s justifiable answer.
[Hey, magic… can you, use it now?]
[I could have blown the whole castle apart, but I think I managed to restore it to a degree such that I could blow the entire palace up.]
[No… that… You can"t possibly say, that, you"ve fixed… it.]
Dy seemed to be unable to further push his opinion on the breathless me, and forcefully sighed with ‘Haah".
[Lizard, please bring Rei away.]
[Understood.]
[Because they seem to have used aphrodisiac on him according to their conversation, we must quickly neutralize it.]
[I see, I must hurry.]
Perhaps the aphrodisiac"s effect has gotten stronger, I can feel weak pleasure bubble up every time small movements are made within his arms.
It seemed to be noisy outside the door, but it was hard for me who is out of it to grasp the situation properly, and I simply listened to Ragna"s words.
[That personage from before was Aleph and his* Elder Brother"s sword teacher. The rebellion this time was a.s.sisted by His Higness Westin to arrest the foolish king. About this time, the Kingdom"s knights in the castle are probably being lead around by the nose by the rebel army.] (TN: The raw originally said 俺の(my)- which doesn"t make sense so I took liberties and changed it to his* instead. Although Ragna does have an older brother(Mikhail) and there"s a miniscule chance that the author was referring to him?)
Just as Ragna stated, he told me about the current circ.u.mstances.
[After Ciel told us of Rei"s predicament and led the rebel army into the castle, he went off to recuperate, complaining that he couldn"t use magic and was worn out from taking on the enemy"s spells. Nothing to worry about, though; that guy has the luck of a demon.]
From afar, the sounds of metal clas.h.i.+ng against each other, and cheers and screams are roaring. Ragna pats my head as if to rea.s.sure me.
[I united with the rebel army to make a disturbance inside the castle while looking for you. Aleph is protecting the princess, we"re meeting him now.]
Ragna"s calmed low voice reverberates on my waist. To react to his voice without even a bit of l.u.s.t, just how strong was the dr*g they made me drink?
[Your breathing is rough. We"re arriving soon, hold on for a bit more.]
I think my tears were going to fall at the manliness of Ragna who was carrying me while avoiding oscillating to the best of his abilities in order to not affect my s.e.xually excited condition..
It seems we have moved far away from the noisy place, and I"m being taken towards the inner part of the heavy-aired castle.
There were the blue-haired* Aleph and Princess, as well as the rebel army soldiers who are the Princess" guards. (TN: The raw originally says 灰色 but the previous descriptions said blue so I"m sticking with blue.)
