111. How to stop organized crime (3)

“Hello!!!”

Ariando brightly enters the guard unit.

The knights checked Ariando’s size and involuntarily exclaimed, “Wow…”

“It’s really small.”

“Um… I think this should be enough.”

“Are you really 19?”

“I think I’ve heard of it. Some of the young ladies are exceptionally short.”

As soon as Ariando arrived at the guard, his eyes widened at the dizzying words raining down on him.

“I came because I wanted to get help, but as soon as I met him, he did it like this, right?”

Arr-

Ariando rolled his eyes like a dog growling, and then the knights came back to their senses and said,

“I’m sorry. We were distracted.”

“Thank you for coming, young lady.”

Ariando was cute only in front of me, but he had no choice but to be a difficult person to the knights.

Aren’t you the daughter of a ducal family?

“Hey, please be careful with your words.”

Ariando spoke proudly like a noble lady.

“It must have been difficult, but thank you for willingly stepping up to help.”

“It’s a junior to me. A junior got involved in such a thing, but I can’t help but step forward.”

In fact, as soon as Ariando heard the circumstances, he willingly stepped forward to cooperate.

You might say that’s not so great, but sacrificing for others was commendable.

However, what’s a little embarrassing is that Ariando didn’t come to the guards alone.

“This is Fran, the Awakened Healer who treats the best in our academy.”

“Oh oh!”

The knight, who was a little embarrassed that Ariando had come with his classmate, exclaimed exclamation involuntarily at Fran’s introduction.

When a hostage is rescued, it can be treated right away, but there was no reason to refuse it.

“This is Shine, a sharpshooter! You can snip from a distance. He boasts a 100% accuracy rate that makes sure he hits a target!”

“Oh oh?!”

There is no talent as important as sniping during an ambush.

At the appearance of the sniper who was sure to hit, the knights again exclaimed.

“I’m a pickpocket.”

Finally, Baine answered with a grin.

The knights couldn’t bear to ask Bain to leave because they were uninvited guests.

It was because I already knew that the two people ahead of me were talented people who would be of great help in this operation.

“They’ll all do more than one man!”

Ariando exclaimed confidently.

I stroked the hair of Hash who was depressed next to me.

“Look, why are you trying to carry the burden all by yourself when there are so many people to help you out?”

“That’s not it!! You want to save your friend with your own hands. The boss doesn’t know how to feel?”

Hash nodded at Ariando’s words.

“But I won’t insist because it’s more certain that my sister, no, my senior is doing it more than I do.”

“Oh, you’re nice. Call me unnie from now on!”

Ariando warmly expressed his friendliness to Hash by calling her sister.

A faint smile appeared on Hash’s darkened face for the first time in a long time.

“Unnie will definitely save you safely. So Hash believe in us and wait for us. Okay?”

“Yes, sister.”

It would have been embarrassing if he said that he would follow him to the end, but when the seniors said they would personally step up and help Neirel’s rescue operation, it seemed that he had broken his will.

As expected, for these kids, the senior is more direct than the teachers or parents.

“Shall we set up a strategy in earnest?”

There were a lot of people who participated in the operation to rescue three children kidnapped by a criminal organization.

First of all, the knights of the knights who will collide with their bodies on the spot.

A teacher dispatched from the academy.

Ariando, of small stature, needed to carry out this operation.

and the rest of the nerds.

“Students participate in the operation. Is the operation a children’s game?”

“Send it back immediately. I can’t allow it.”

Of course, the academy teacher, who joined a little late, objected to students participating in the operation, even though they were in their final year.

“The safety of the children being held is at risk unless Ariando and Miss participate.”

“If the teachers don’t allow it, I’ll sneak in!”

In this situation, Hash, who couldn’t be calm, proudly declared that he would cause an accident.

In the end, the teachers allowed this operation.

It was because he admitted that there was no adult who could replace Ariando.

‘If it’s not Ariando, Hash should do it, but Hash is too young.’

And it was concluded that our cohorts, Fran, and Shine were waiting in the rear.

It was because Ariando was told that no matter how you look at it, it is absolutely forbidden for other children to participate in the operation.

“It’s no fun to fall into the rear.”

Shine said it as if it were trivial, but the other kids were meekly accepting it.

“The operation will then proceed like this.”

Ariando had the ability to stealth, so it was very effective for infiltration.

If Ariando hadn’t been the daughter of a duke, he was ready to scout out if he would join as a knight after being discharged.

“The operation planned for today will be carried out in secret. Please pay special attention to security.

“Academy has assistants?”

“That can’t be… why the hell?”

“Unless you catch the culprit and interrogate him, you won’t know.”

Meanwhile, I thought.

‘Can I leave now?’

It’s good that I asked Ariando to bring me here, but from now on, my position is getting a bit ambiguous.

Among the teachers, those who were put into that operation were the most talented, and so were the knights.

Of all the people gathered here, I must be the weakest and most useless.

“Mister… Neirel will be all right, right?”

Oh, do you have one?

“I’m sure you’ll be fine. The reason you kidnapped the kid is not to torture him.”

I’m sure he kidnapped them to use their power, so he’s probably being taken care of.

“I want you to come back as soon as possible.”

Hash put her hands together as if praying.

The thing that worries me the most here is hash.

And then I realized that it was all I had to do to see her, as I had been until now.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

just-! Tadak -! widely!

Academy City had very little space for criminals to hide.

That’s because it was so well-maintained.

The land was expensive, and there were too many people.

A group of young men warming up around a bonfire.

They were spitting out curses while frowning.

It seemed that he didn’t like the current situation very much.

“f*ck, it’s filthy cold. Why is it so cold here?”

“You haven’t been in touch today, have you?”

“No.”

“This is enough. Give up.”

“Right, how many days already?”

“Haa~ Those bastards… abilities were helpful.”

Even though their personality was trash, their abilities were helpful to them, so it was a pity that there were empty seats.

“Look at the accident they caused. There’s no better place than here, but I have to leave because of them! It’s hard to move around with the kids because the surveillance is already tight.”

It’s already been several days since I lost contact with the gang member I was active with.

It was highly probable that he would have been caught.

Nevertheless, the reason why he couldn’t abandon the hideout was because of practical reasons.

It was very difficult to move around with two children without attracting attention from others, and to find a large hideout where everyone could rest comfortably.

It’s not very comfortable here now, but at least it was comfortable because the space was wide.

“How much money do you have left?”

“It’s not long. We barely got the next hideout.”

Although they abducted three children with great vigor, only one succeeded in getting out.

The child who succeeded in taking it in the first place was the one who took a lot of effort and kidnapped, and those who were left here were greedy to take a few more capable children while they had already kidnapped them.

In other words, the two children here are good if you secure them, but they don’t matter much if you don’t.

“Don’t be greedy, I’ll just follow you.”

I never imagined that the academy would issue a lockdown order so quickly.

He tried to catch the two and run away, but the chance was missed by the knights and academy teacher who closely watched the city.

When I came to my senses, it was after the lockdown had already been issued.

“I neglected the academy so much. sh*t!!”

“I should have taken the risk and ran away when I had the chance…”

Who would have known that the best timing would have been before the lockdown was imposed.

“How long will this lockdown last?”

“That’s right. I’m dying of frustration because I can’t get in touch with the outside world. I can’t even ask for help.”

Even in the main unit, it would be difficult to use a hand to save them.

Isn’t it impossible for people to come and go?

“Let’s hold on a little longer. Even if it’s an academy, it’s impossible to block it for more than 30 days.”

Once the blockade is over, you will leave this infernal city.

If it’s hard, you’ll think that you can just give up the child you kidnapped.

But these children had seen all their faces.

I’d rather kill them than let them go.

‘Then you just want to kill me? With no children to find, why not lift the lockdown? A sick bastard! Do you mean that?’

If the child dies, the academy and knights will try to catch us even more.

It is to make a justification for continuing the lockdown for a longer time.

But this time, the people who caused the accident made all sorts of complaints while chatting on their own.

‘If I’m stupid, maybe I’ll try to understand.’

They didn’t try to break their opinions.

Excuse me for not listening to my opinion! He said he would go out for a drink with his friends, and he never returned.

Of course, the children cannot be freed, nor can they be killed.

Just hugging and holding on was the wisest thing they could do.

“Ehh~ Thinking about those bastards just sighs.”

“Just don’t think about it. It’s better to stop losing early. If you stay with idiots, they avoid us for no reason.”

“But what the hell were those bastards doing?”

they didn’t know

The fact that he found a little boy capable of teleportation and impulsively tried to kidnap him, but was caught and captured.

“But I’m lucky today. There aren’t many guys around.”

“Is today D-day?”

“Yes, I have to move today. Are you taking care of the kids?”

“Keep sleeping. Don’t worry…Wait, shh! Someone’s coming”.

smart. smart. smart smart Knock. Knock. smart.

There was a knock at the door of the hideout at a steady tempo.
