Interceptors

What-what?.. What does this mean? – looking at the group of beaten and tied men, I saw a note.

Just wanted to go for a run on the weekend, haaah...

Taking the envelope sheet, I began to read:

I felt that someone touched the magic detectors when they came into your yard late at night. I flew in and sorted it out. ⁸^∆^⁸ Ilulu

Hmm, I almost forgot that this is why I hired her... After that incident with the yokai, there were no more problems.

Sighing sadly, I went to get the hose. Turning the tap, I carried the hose towards them and held it with my thumb to simultaneously pour cold water over everyone.

They didn't have to wait long for a reaction and soon woke up.

"So, why were you planning to sneak into my house?" – I started poking Zastin with the tip of my bat, which I took out in advance.

I will need to buy myself a katana, preferably a magical one or a fancy one.

I made a mental note and waited for a response.

"We are the royal guard of Develuke and have come to this planet to bring Princess Lala home." - the gray-haired man in armor answered me when he realized that he could not get out of the enchanted rope.

- Oh really? – I used my acting skills to keep my facial expressions and voice under control. "Well then, I'll go get her. If she says that she doesn't know you, then you will have to go to prison. I'm lazy, so it won't come to the court."

My family had already left, which surprised me. I thought that my mother would control my situation with Lala until the end.

I didn't have to look for her for long; I found her sleeping on my bed, and naked. This was clear from the protruding pinkish shoulders from under the blanket.

When did she have time? When I was saying goodbye to my family?

- Lala, wake up. Your acquaintances have come to see you. – Gently tugging her shoulders, which I covered with a blanket, I tried to wake her up.

- Hmm... Emy is that you? – I blushed a little, because I'm ashamed when someone calls me that, except for my family, mainly my mother.

- Ahem, call me Emiya, please. Only my mother calls me that. – Trying not to show embarrassment in my voice, I continued. "There are people appeared at the doorstep, calling themselves royal guards. There's a guy in armor named Zastin."

- Ah! – she suddenly stood up sharply, causing the blanket to fall, but I couldn't be caught off guard anymore... and I just turned away. - I need to run urgently!

– In fact, I dealt with them, or rather my subordinate, and now they are tied. – I tried to calm her down while I turned in the opposite direction from her. "I would like you to confirm their identities."

- Um, okay. – Having borrowed my clothes, which suited her because of my build and height, we went out into the yard.

- Ah, Princess Lala! – Zastin was the first to react, which is not surprising. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

– Ha-ha... I'm also glad that nothing happened to you. – She answered awkwardly, trying to hide behind my back.

Seeing Lala's frightened face, I couldn't do anything but sigh.

I think we can take our time and deal with everything as gently as possible.

-Since you know each other and have a trusting relationship, I will let you in to sort everything out. – I felt Lala squeeze my hand harder. "But since Lala does not feel comfortable in your presence, I will have to leave you tied up."

Eh... how hard it is to be a good guy with a clear conscience.
