Accidents… Assemble!!!
Accidents… Assemble!!!
“It’s okay if you don’t save me…?”
“Since he says he’s fine, I think it’s better to wait. Besides, it’s not the others who dragged Carmen, it’s the guards here in the capital.”
[It’s going to be fine.]
While Dakia and I were having a chat, Aurelius, who was shining brightly in gold, slipped into our conversation.
[It’s not uncommon for Carmen Baltas, the ‘black wild dog’, to be imprisoned in the capital’s detention center. It’s because I have accidents so often.] Is
it that famous?
This was the first time I had visited the capital, as I had mainly traveled from the northeastern part of the kingdom.
“What accident did Carmen have?”
Aurelius, who had bumped into the metal jaw a few times with a snap, answered with a smile.
[How about listening to yourself, not me? If you go to the guards later and tell them you’ve come to visit Carmen, the guards will take care of it. Well, if you’re really curious, I’ll tell you myself. It’s not really a secret story.]
“I’ll listen to you.”
[Good idea.]
Dakia shook her head and smiled brightly again.
“Then, let’s start with a lodging and go visit Carmen! I know the best restaurants in the capital, so let’s go eat something delicious after that!”
Sagittarius, who had been standing still, nodded slowly.
“I think I’d like that too.”
have you decided
“Okay. But what about Master Aurelius?”
[There is a place I know well. How about you guys staying there too? After all, we have to give you the reward we promised you anyway.]
After exchanging glances lightly, we decided to agree to Aurelius’ proposal.
“I will.”
Golden jaws crackled merrily.
[That’s a good idea. I’ll be seeing your face often for a while.]

A blue-haired woman walking along the road where spring is starting to arrive looked up. that far away I could see Purina, the capital of the Algor Kingdom, surrounded by pure white walls.
“capital···.”
The priest of the Blue Flames, who had stopped for a moment, started walking again. towards the capital.
***
Beautiful bright yellow scales. A body that draws a graceful curve. A dragon that could only come out of mythology slowly descended towards the ground.
thud.
The dragon folded its huge skin wings and landed on the floor. Batis Draco, the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom, spread one wing to make it easier for the man on his back to get off.
– get off.
“Yes, yes!”
Hilden, the head of the eastern branch of Ilech, clad in layers of fur, quickly stepped on his wings and landed on the ground sniffling. As he dismounted, the huge dragon’s body slowly shrank into a man with long, bright yellow hair. The naked prince stretched out his hand towards Hilden.
“Give me your clothes.”
“yep!”
Hilden quickly took out Batis’ clothes from her bag and handed them over. Watching Batis leisurely getting dressed, he wondered if the lizard prince had brought him because he needed a moving closet.
Batis, who was fully dressed, tucked her long yellow hair into a ponytail.
“The capital is just around the corner. What are you doing without guidance?”
A very arrogant speech. However, Hilden, who had already gotten used to Batis’ tone, replied casually.
“Okay. I’ll guide you to the fastest way!”
In fact, his heart was beating a little. Thinking of detonating the bomb called the Three Princes of the Dragon Kingdom at those high-nosed headquarters guys.
‘I’ll take it easy and watch the panicking of the headquarters guys who subtly ignore the branches every time! Hehehe.’
Hilden smiled broadly and spoke vigorously.
“Let’s go quickly!”
“What? Are you pushing me right now? Huh? You’ve grown up a lot?”
“…”
‘Fuck…’
***
[Here’s the payoff I’m supposed to pay.]
As promised, Aurelius 15 gold coins per head. He held out a pouch containing sixty gold coins in total.
bundle. That’s too much money. Of all the money I fell into and touched in this world, the most money was in that pocket.
I quickly calmed my trembling hands and accepted the bag of gold coins.
‘Four murders…!’
Even my mother was embarrassed at the first touch. Although it had to be divided into quarters, there were so many things that could be done with fifteen gold coins. Especially in a bustling city like the capital.
“Priest Marnak…?”
“yes.”
Dacia tilted her head and said.
“Why are you staring at the bag of gold coins so much?”
“There are sixty gold coins here…!”
She stared at me and smiled.
“Priest Marnak, is this your first time touching sixty gold coins?”
I was silent. And that silence was a sufficient answer for Dacia.
“You have a very cute side.”
Also the daughter of the great lord. The fundamental attitude towards money was different from me, who had never touched even gold coins. Besides, since she is a wizard, she will never be in need of money for the rest of her life.
If I had chosen a wizard too, I would have gone around blasting magic without any worries.
Archmage Marnak. It was a really cool name. Although I will never be called that.
I took a pocket full of gold coins and replied bluntly.
“I’m kind of cute.”
‘killing!’
He pretended to be as calm as possible while pressing down on his mother, who responded by saying, ‘Marnac is cute!’ Dacia looked at me with a slightly embarrassed face.
“Are you kidding?”
“I’m serious.”
I asked Aurelius, leaving Dacia, who was giggling, saying that she was good at joking.
“By the way, other than this, what kind of reward was given separately?”
If you give it to me, you should definitely take it.
[Oh, you mean additional compensation? I’ll give it to you tomorrow I need to go through some procedures to bring out what I want to give to you guys.]
It’s tomorrow. There was no need to rush. I already paid the compensation that I originally promised.
“Okay. Then we have to go visit Carmen, so let’s go.”
[Okay, see you tomorrow.]
Back in the room, we roughly unpacked and headed for the guards, following the guide of Dakia, who was the most familiar with the capital among us. She smiled and told me.
“‘Cute’ Priest Marnak. That building over there is used by the guards.”
Dakia had been trying to elicit a reaction from me by saying she was cute, but I wasn’t going to fall for such a shallow trick. I answered casually.
“That’s where Carmen is imprisoned. It looks very strict.”
Guards stationed at key points and patrols roaming around regularly. high wall. The building of the guard house resembled a small fortress, as if it would not allow even a single fugitive.
Dakia, standing next to me, said with a rather serious face.
“Certainly, the buildings don’t look ‘cute’.
“You must have been secretly obsessed with the princess.”
She blushed slightly and looked at me as she replied,
“…Are you mad at me for being teased too much?”
“no. It’s true that I’m cute, so there’s nothing to be angry about.”
“…!”
“Sajita. Let’s go. Carmen will be waiting for us, sitting on the cold stone floor, soaked in solitude.”
Sagitta nodded and strode along, only to be followed by the real Dacia.
“Do you really think you’re cute?
” When I was young, it was rumored to be cute in the neighborhood. Even the adults passing by said that I was very cute.”
“Now they are all grown up!”
“It’s a minor difference. It’s just a slight difference in size.”
“It’s a non-trivial difference at all!”
I replied with a smile.
“It’s not cute to obsess over small things. Princess.”
Dakia narrowed her eyes and stared at me.
“Certainly, I didn’t mean to make fun of you for trying to touch 60 gold coins for the first time, didn’t
you?” “No
way.” Sharp. “Let’s go see the real Carmen soon .
Before the food I bought cools down.”
Dakia looked me in the eye and smiled. ”
I won’t play with
money next time .”
Chaego walked away lightly,
“Okay, so let’s go quickly. Before it cools off,”
I replied, following her.
“I’m not really upset!”
“I got it!”
***
“‘Ah.’ Do it.”
“Ah.” Our
expectation that Carmen would sit alone on the cold stone floor waiting for us in sorrow was completely wrong. When
we arrived at the detention center guided by the guards, what we saw was a woman looking directly at Carmen through the bars. It was a scene of the food being fed. Carmen was receiving and eating the food well.
We didn’t even eat and bought Carmen’s private meals first. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have eaten our food first.
“I don’t know who that woman is . I will That must be Miss Arras of the Grata family.
”
Arras
Grata
? Wow, a cute impression. And, to put it in Carmen’s way, the size of his heart is incomparable to others.
I immediately understood why Carmen fell in love with that woman. He was truly a man with firm tastes
. Arras, who was looking at the chewing Carmen with happy eyes, noticed our presence. She tilted her head and asked,
” Who are you…?”
“Ah, Marnac is here!”
He said as if he were in the main room of his own house, so I looked around for a moment, wondering if this was not the detention center, but the Baltas mansion. This is the detention
center
. “You look very used to
being in there,”
said Carmen,
scratching the back of her head in response.
“Do you think so?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, I do come in here quite often.”
Arras nodded and added a chuimsae next to him.
” Not just often, but very often.”
“I know you’ve been there often, but why did you get in there this time?” ”
That
‘s…”
The answer came from a different place.
stole it Sir Ansis Baltas himself gave me this mugshot.”
Long white hair. Cold look. The man who appeared in white armor had the aura of a beast hiding his claws.
He looked at Carmen with indifferent eyes and said,
“The stolen ‘key’ is How did you do it? “Carmen.”
Carmen gulped and replied with an uncharacteristically nervous face.
“Brother…”
I didn’t know Carmen’s name, but I knew that man’s name.
Son of the Black Wolf Ansis Baltas and Queen’s Guard’ The vice-captain of the Frost Knights, Setian
Baltas, the white wolf.
That was the man’s name.
Setian looked at Carmen with pure white eyes and said,
“Don’t turn around, answer the questions I ask. What did you do with the ‘key’ you stole from your father’s warehouse? Carmen.”
