Chapter 38: King of Thieves 'Wake the Wake”

Chapter 38: King of Thieves “Wake the Wake”

A young man in green hood, holding a big composite bow.

King of Thieves Wake the Wake.

Toward that Green, shoot simultaneously!

The gun man corps concentrates the fire and attempts to shoot down the green hood, but hes unscathed.

No, beyond the gunshot dust, is he somewhat damaged?

However, it is possible that he didnt withdraw one step even if it is a barrage of a lot of firearms.

What kind of cheat it is, I felt like despising it. Even though my mithril or the scales of the black dragon wyvern can also repel the bullet.

It is probably a magical equipment with enhanced defensive power.

On top of that, Wakes ally were not affected by the shooting. He even step forward. What a cool guy!

It didnt go through. Wake snipes will come!

Louise shouts.

Hes trying to pull a big bow and shoot three iron arrows at once.

This is truly an act of foul play (cheat).

Damn! When it comes to this!

I stepped forward.

In order not to harm my allies, I have to do things with him.

Hokushin Itto-ryu and the stance of the wagtail (wagtail)!

Come on, Wake!

The more accurate your aim, the better.

Ill cut all three, with a speed of light feint of a wagtail sword, off.

Wake looked at me who came in front and laughed.

I slashed the enemys arrow with Wake is only watching. Then I saw it.

His lips moves, Magical Bullet of Rebellion.

Biiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!

Is it the sound of the string in which the big bow was pulled? Or the sound of an incoming iron arrow that cuts through the air?

Or is there some magical power applied to the arrow?

Did Ria put a holy shield (seitate) from behind? A silver-colored shield flies towards the arrow, but the Magical Bullet of Rebellion pierced through it like it was natural.

It is alright as long as the sword of light hits it. Whatever kind of iron it is, if struck at high speed, it will be cut.

I will blow away the approaching arrow!

Another arrowhead was caught by a return sword and I manage to break it to pieces.

Ah, this slow-motion sensation. Its been a while. Damn it!

The two previous arrows were a feint to guide the tip of my sword.

The third arrow aims at my defenceless torso as my hand are swung up.

My guard will not make it in time!

My mithril hauberk or his Magical bullet of rebellion? It is a match with my life on the line.

I heard a dull sound. I receive an intense shock on my chest but it vanished before it reached my back.

When I noticed that Louise was hugging me as I search for a chest wound, Im already screaming.

I dont want this template!

If Louise dies, Ill bear a grudge, real fantasy!

It missed the vital organs.

That said, Louise, who received a magical arrow instead of me, powerlessly fell in the ground.

The black dragon wyvern scale armor was not able stop the magical bullet of rebellion .

Louise also tried defending it with a buckler but there is also a hole on that shield.

The long iron arrow, it pierced through the small shield and the body of Louise then stopped.

This is too much of a cheat.

Ria!

You must not remove the arrow.

Ria and Louises sidekick, Claudia, dragged the injured Louise with a face which seems to cry.

And before me, Suzanne, whos wearing a black dragon wyvern scale armor, puts up a big shield(kite shield) with her small body.

Hey, stop already.

Please stop.

Sharon, put that up!

Eh? Is it really okay?

Yes, before the next arrow comes!

From my camp, the white flag went up.

I was surprised. Is it a thing for a hero to surrender quickly?

Thats right. My bad, Wake!

Naturally, because the commanders went out ahead mutually, it became Wake and my discussion.

Its as Louise says. I do not have the pride of a knight.

I will give way to terrorism and settle in discussion.

And, if it is possible to do, scratch the head of a sleeping person from the reverse side!

TN: ()No idea what it means.

The man who succeeded the legendary hero. I came all the way here to meet him and he was such a soft lad.

Wake raise the green hood while saying so. It was silky blond young niichan.

Not as much as I do, but I think Wake is too young.

So what are you going to do? I do not have time to do idle talk.

Hmm, I guess its to buy some time.

Still, it was a great arrow.

An iron arrow was left. Its as long as Louises half-body.

Such a long thing. To be able to launch it with a bow in such speed, what power.

Its well-known. Wake the wakes Magical Bullet of Rebellion can tear steel. I heard that there are only a few knights who survived after getting hit. If you think about it, I should be proud.

Louise says that, but its better not to receive it from the beginning.

Please, do not die.

Thats my line. My liver got cold when I thought that the third arrow will hit my lord. It was more painful than the arrow scratch I received.

Louise predicted the trajectory of the arrow that would be shot and move. Its amazing.

Even before, Louise slashed a shower of crossbow arrow.

To tell the truth, I was conscious of that movement.

Even if you are lured by a feint in a feint and was defeated, the kinetic vision and body movement of Takeru was quite good until the second shot.

Thank you.

Still, my performance has still not reached the full capability of the sword of light.

Its rare for Louise to compliment me in terms of combat.

However, the third shot might have hit a vital part. Even if I did not make it in time, I can receive it without hitting my vital part. It is not possible for my lord to do it at the present.

I will devote myself to it.

Thats not what I mean. Im trying to look at my own current capability and work it out.

TN:Takeru misunderstood what Louise is saying. Louise is trying to look for at her current ability in order to protect her lord but Takeru thought that shes telling her to train more in order to receive an attack like that without hitting a vital part

I understand. Sorry, Louise.

It is good if you understand it. Do not forget that I am on the side.

While saying that, I will not leave Louise for a while. Shes been around me all the time.

Umu, I wonder if Ill be scolded with that reckless behaviour.

Scene Change

According to Wake-sama, its an interesting proposition to receive.

Is that so? Im thankful for that.

At the base camp in Ona village, I received a report from Neneka who is a Riaison officer for King of Thieves Wake.

Wake seems to have liked my proposal to employ the members of thief guild. I suggested them to act as an adviser of the guards for crime prevention.

Thieves have other use other than crime.

Thats right. I am glad that Neneka has come to understand.

Yes, because thats exactly what I am.

TN:Neneka is a thief so she was able to get what Takeru is trying to do

Nenekas Corps, I think Ill name you the Spy (Scout) troops. Your main duty will be assisting the cavalry scouts and intelligence gathering during operations.

Did hero-sama just say that we would be a spy?

Thats right. If it is necessary, I want you to pretend as an adventurer and then pretend to join a bandit group. Listen to their story and create a disturbance within their group.

It seems that Neneka was given a places to live in the Thieves Guild.

I decided to have a place to live in Ona village.

Because shes a valuable Riaison officer, its better to make sure that we can contact each other.

Sharing Nenekas corps will be useful in the future with the alliance with Wake.

Then, it is time for my report. The remnants of the Golden Eagle Bandit Group in Ambazak Barony all fled and disappeared from the territory. Perhaps, I think they ran away to a remote region in the old Margrave Lauren Territory of the Silesie Kingdom.

Oh yes. If they go that far, we dont have to chase them anymore.

It does not matter because it is not my territory, but the old Margrave Lauren Territory were divided into smaller territories for viscount, baron, and knights. The rights relationship there is complicated.

As we all know, the territory was divided among nobles that sided with Princess Silhouette. The borders of each territory is probably not that established due to division that probably complicates the land rights/ownership of each feudal lord

It is probably the best for the bandits to escape avoiding the pursuit of someone who holds power.

On the other hand, there are more monsters than a human being there.

It is a place of troublesome game for merchant to do business because there are a lot of borders.

Still, the thief guild.

Something wrong with the thief guild, hero-sama?

No, I dont think thieves can imagine that they have a guild in a city which is arranging job for them.

Even thieves are not always doing criminal activities.

Is that so? For example, examining a trap in a dungeon?

Thats exactly it. There are also shady jobs on archaeological excavation. There are legitimate work that a thiefs hand is useful.

Is that so? Is it possible for Neneka to explore a dungeon?

Yes, I can do it. I am good at unlocking and removing traps. Even though I learned such a thing, there was no demand in this period, eventually I became a bandit.

I hope we can go to a dungeon together someday.

If I can go with hero-sama in a dungeon, Ill be proud as a thief.

As she said so, I watched the purple curly hair reaching to her feet and pulling it in hand.

I get worried about whether Nenekas hair too long. Every time I look at it, I cant help but think that it will interfere with covert action.

Well, here skillful walking might have some meaning.

Because thieves prefer jinx, it may be something unfair.

Is there something wrong with my hair?

No, I wonder what you use it for.

I use it like this.

Fuha

She brought purple curly hair to my nose, so I instantly sneezed and she laughed.

This is a weapon indeed.

Well, there are many uses of womens hair.

Neneka whos been giggling for a while left without a sound. A heavy, sweet fragrance from hair faintly remained in the back of my nose for a while.

I never thought at this time that she and I would really attack a dungeon soon.
