Chapter 169: IQ Drop

"Sigh..."

...

Why'd you sigh?

I'm the one who's even going through all this trouble just cause you said I might be in trouble.

He hesitates right before he pulls off his hood.

What's underneath...

Well...

It definitely didn't shock me.

Some random kid that I've never seen before in my life had appeared right in front of my eyes.

With dark red hair, freckles on his cheeks and a rather pudgy nose.

I became rather confused.

Do...

Do I have some kind of relation with this child?

I know, I know...

I'm also technically a child.

But compared to others, I don't think I can count as a normal child.

Soooo...

For convenience...

I lied about my age...

...

What?

They won't know...

...

Probably...

Suddenly, the child's hands waved across my face.

"Helloooo?"

"You still there?"

"It's me!"

"Gidley Hawthorne."

"Or as you might like to call me..."

Rubbing his forehead, he spoke once more.

"Gid..."

Hmm?

Who's Gid?

After a long period of silence, I finally figured it out.

"YOU'RE THAT SUBORDINATE I GOT!!!"

Shouting excitedly, I jump up and down.

My savior is here!

A comfy bed, warm food...

Being alone...

Ahhhhh...

What bliss...

No wait...

He's gotta be lying...

All Gidley's look similar to each other, but this child doesn't look like me at all.

He must be lying then...

Grasping the air, I tried to use magic.

Huh?

Why're there basically no magic particles anywhere?

"As expected of me..."

"You don't trust anyone."

Damn it!

Pulling Noroi out of Fantesasia, I swing the blade towards him.

CLINK!!!

CRACK!!!

The blade broke...

"Do you mind if you keep it down?"

...

YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE BREAKING STUFF!!!
