Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 27.3

Still, even as Lady Evans struggled, her headbutt hit the man’s jaw.

“You bastard! You’re asking for it!”

The man kicked Lady Evans away.

Lady Evans, who fell to the ground, had tears in her eyes.

“Beryl… help me…”

“Beryl? Hahaha! That Princess Knight? She seems more obsessed with dungeons than protecting you! Your Princess Knight is nothing! Hahaha! By now―――― she’s probably in the west of the city! Falling right into my trap!”

“Beryl… will help me… When I’m in trouble… he’ll definitely help me… I believe in him…”

“Hehehe. Then pray. I’ll make sure you have plenty of fun until he shows up!”

As the man took a step towards Lady Evans, I leaped out of the shadows and delivered a powerful punch to the man’s abdomen.

“Pochi! Hold the man down!”

Whether it was the element of surprise or not, the man was blown back to the bed with a single blow, foaming at the mouth.

Immediately, Pochi leaped out of my shadow and bit the man’s legs to disable him.

“B…Beryl…?”

“Lady Evans, I apologize deeply for being late.”

Large tears fell from her vacant eyes.

“I…I thought you were…late…Beryl…”

Hastily untying her hands and feet, she clung to me.

“Beryl…I…”

“It’s all right now. I am your Princess Knight, and I will definitely protect you.”

“Yeah…I believed…in you…”

“Yes. Rather, I’m sorry for being late. I never thought you would be kidnapped inside the mansion… Let’s think about that after we get back. For now, let’s focus on getting out of here.”

“Yeah…!”

“Lady Evans, no matter what happens from now on, please don’t make a sound, okay?”

Lady Evans gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

To protect her…I might have to show a slightly cruel side.

Taking out the Black Scythe, I placed Lady Evans on Pochi and left the room.

The decrepit wooden door creaked open with an unpleasant sound.

“Pochi, let’s run!”

“Woof!”

We ran through the corridor at full speed.

Ascending the stairs, we reached the gathering place in the building.

There, many unsavory characters were glaring outside with sharp eyes.

“Huh…!? You――――”

Before the man could scream, I cut off both of his legs.

“Aaaaah!”

The group of people who had gathered around the man’s voice drew their weapons and glared at me.

Jumping towards the entrance along the shortest route, I swung the Black Scythe while running.

Just as I defeated another man, another one closed the distance in an instant and thrust a dagger from behind.

Technique [Ingress Attack]. It’s a technique of the thief class that closes the distance in an instant.

“Wha!?!”
