Chapter 70: The Knight Commander's Son Struggles With His Lack Of Control

"Sigh..."

"Is there something wrong Arth?"



Sensing that presence, I said with a smile, almost sighing a little.



"Just a little bit. There's a lot of noise outside, so I'll stop it."

"what is happening?"



After smiling at Alice, who was stunned, I looked at Sister and said in a low voice.



"The priest is being attacked in public. Please don't go outside."

"What...?"



After looking at the sister who was stunned and then nodding her head, I went out and, as expected, saw several men surrounding the priest, then I sighed and approached them.



"I'm sorry if you're having fun, but I'm not impressed with you causing a scene here."

"Huh? You...I see, you're the one from before."

"Eh, Arth-sama..."

"Just right. I didn't expect you to come out yourself."



A man who looks like a leader approaches me while saying that. It was quite unpleasant to see such a large man looking down at me, but the man said happily.



"I came all the way here to lure you, but…I never expected you to show up."

"Do you need something from me?"

"Ah. Apparently I can get a lot of money if I defeat you."



Well, that's what I thought. Money, money, money in the three important things in this world. Truly, humans cannot live without money. If he had been reincarnated as a nobleman, he probably wouldn't have thought so much about the value of money. even if...



"What were you guys planning on doing here?"

"It's already decided, right? We'll kill this old man and then sell the brat. And we'll make good use of the women who seem to be worth it."

"Okay. Thank you for answering my question."



I had no idea they would set it up like this. It's true that even if the security situation improves, we still don't have enough personnel, so even if they cause a commotion here, they'll probably be able to get away with it. However, I couldn't let them o that, so I asked, getting annoyed.



"I'll give you a chance now, forget your plan and run aways after wrapping your tail around you so that way, I won't have to waste any effort.

Hehe, is it okay to be so aggressive?"



When I looked, I saw the remaining men thrusting their swords into the priest's neck. Did he take him a hostage so they can lure them all so it is cumbersome. In the back, it seems like a sister is holding back one of the children who is about to jump out, but it's probably only a matter of time before that happens. In that case, the quickest thing to do would be to use force.



"You won't regret it, right?"

"Huh? -- What!?"



First, I punch the man in front of me and then smash the sword that was pointed at the priest. In that moment of fear, I put the other one away.



"This! You monster!"



Then, the remaining two of them was incapacitated by me before attacking with their swords, and the remaining one, seeing that he was dumbfounded by what had happened, I sighed and said.



"If you surrender now and stay still, I won't take your life, but what are you going to do?"

"W-what the hell is this...what the hell are you!?"



While saying that, he started attacking me, so I silenced him with my sword, rolled him to the ground, and then noticed that the man I had hit first was no longer there, and at the same time I reflexively dodged to the side.



"Ah...shit. That's a nice reflex."



It was the leader-like man from earlier who said that while shaking his neck. He said, not a little surprised to see that the my fist had left a small dent in the ground, and that even though I had been extremely careless, he was still the first person to endure it.



"You can use magic, right? Strengthen your body... no, strengthen your muscle?"

"Ah, you're right, I understand you have ability."

"I have an observant eye."

"I see. But what exactly are you? That monster-like power... you're not just some nobleman's rich kid."

"It seems like the employer didn't give you that much detailed information."



It was probably used as a disposable piece. Perhaps because he understood this, the man said with a sigh.



"Damn it, I thought it was too good to be true. It's such a bad day to be dealing with such a monster."

"Not really a bad day. In fact, after what you did here, I would only put you into a room with criminal, it's free food so you don't have to earn money."

"That doesn't sound like a joke, ahh damn really. Well, that's fine. Either way, if this is the end, I'll resist at least a little bit at the end."



While saying that, I was a little worried about the man who was preparing himself to fight to the end. Just a little higher than normal people's control, yet as low as possible. There's nothing more troublesome than making such detailed adjustments, but after seeing Sister's appearance that it seemed like there was no limit to how much I could control it, I realized that I didn't have much time, so I finally asked.



"Is it okay to die like this?"

"That's not good. But if my luck is only this far, I'll be proud to be killed by a monster like you in the end."

"Be clean. It's just... it's a pointless resolution."



I stepped in and used Max power to block the man's blow with one hand, then twisted his hand and slammed it into the ground. Seeing the man sinking into the ground with more force than I expected, I realized that I had made a slight mistake, but he wasn't dead and his arm probably wasn't that bad, so I guess I'll be safe. After tying up the men with the ropes I brought just in case, I decided to wait for the knight who was supposed to hear about the commotion. But lately, I'm afraid that I've gotten too used to roughnecks. I sigh in despair at the fact that I'm actually going to become a brainy character.
