Din No Monshou Chapter 12 (1/2)

Chapter 12:Edgar and Allan Poe

The moment I irl nodded with a big s across her face

「Yes, it’s Walkins! Te–, how did you know that?」

She grabbed and shook both my shoulders

Ababa– the seis him violently)

It doesn’t seem likely that she will stop even if I told her to

「To tell the truth--」

I told her that Walkins is a servant hired by Sefina

In addition, she has an outstanding ability in both swordsic

She’s so appearance with silver hair

While I was conveying all that details to her, she was tapping her hand consistently

「That’s it! It’s definitely that person! So she’s still alive I’lad–!」

She was dancing wildly there in joy

However my head was full of doubt

She obtained that headpiece ten years ago

Walkins has the appearance of someone in her late teens

Her real age is not known but isn’t it strange for her to be in a war that happened 10 years ago?

「By the way, how old does Walkins look like at that time?」

「Fuuess she looked like she was in her late teens」

Doesn’t Walkins age at all?

No When I heard of the story of how Walkins was serving Sefina since childhood, I did get a strange sense of discomfort already

I have found an even eous mystery in the Imperial City now

「By the way, is Walkins-san currently in the Imperial City? 」

「Yes she’s here She’s taking a break in the southern noble district 」

「Uaa~ a noble district……I wouldn’t be able to enter 」

「Well she is kind of busy now so even if you are able to enter, she ht not be able to meet you」

「Nn? Is there a proble on? 」

「--–We, the Din house will be having a duel here in the Imperial City 」

A duel

She should be able to understand what it meant even if she is not a noble

By betting pride against pride, it’s a fight for justice

It ht appear as so on official stance but in reality it’s a war oozing with greed

「In other words, is Walkins-san the representative? 」

「No, she is involved in the request so it’s not possible 」

「…Eh, request? 」

「The other noble opponent was aiosu」

An overgrown large fat pig

A lewd es in power

And a scheet what he wants

His ill reputation must have been well-known even in the Ih nobility who is in control of the western region

As expected, the girl’s reaction is indeed…!

「Unforgivable! For Walkins to be handed to a son of a bitch pig like him! 」

She was seriously outraged

Her burning anger was on par with Shadiverga and mine

She’s completely hostile to the harmful insects that tried to approach her benefactor

「I’ll lend th too I’ll do whatever I can do to help」

「No well, we’re not in that much of a trouble now」

「Din house…is it In other words, are you Regis? 」

I was slightly astonished when she was able to guess my name correctly

「Eh, you knew it? 」

「I’ve heard it from the peddler in the west side before that an eccentric heir was born into Din’s house 」

The part abouteccentric aside, it appears that they kneho I am

A

It’s the type of people who fight by throwing the money in

It seems like a job well suited for me Or rather, should I take up the role?

The girl cleared her throat before placing her hand on her chest and introduced herself

「My naar Christanval I used to work as aa ic shop in the Imperial City 」

Hohou She seemed to have a pretty fierce life so far

From a career in the battlefield to a career in a shop

There is a saying that goes, ”A rolling stone gathers no moss”

This is probably a good step up from her previous job

「Just let s turn bad, I can even help you guys fight since I still have my skills 」

Edgar brandished one of the swords froer towards Durufu has rekindled

Putting aside the question of her ability, she seemed to be an individual whom one can rely on

I’ood network

I ed to buy book too

I should go back now I guess

「Well then, I’ll be going back now」

「Un Then please take care--」

At that moment, the shop’s as blown off

The wooden frame broke into pieces and scattered all over Wood chips could be seen fluttering around

It happened way too sudden so I wasn’t able to take a defensive stance in time

「Edgar, take cover! 」

「I’ht Don’t look down on an ex-mercenary 」

So that appeared to be a stray flaain

Edgar then chanted a ic to block the trajectory

「Water of purification, destroy the flame of evil Gush out from my hand! ――『Anti-flare Water』」

Water could be seen gushi+ng out froar’s hand

The water then swelled up into a splendid looking sphere and wrapped up the fireball

If it were an ordinary water, it would’ve likely been evaporated

However, the water see of the flame’s resistance

Even though it was just a s the fire

That uishi+ng fire only

Although it was not really a high-levelthat she was able to cast it in succession by chanting right away

My brain was only preoccupied in taking cover at that time

「…daht outside? 」

Edgar threw open thein the shop

I went outside subsequently too

Unknowingly, there were already a large crowd of onlookers in front of the shop

「If you’re not going to buy anything, don’t block the entrance! Just move away! 」

Edgar h them

The pitifulness of a shopkeeper could be sensed from those words

By all means, I hope that your business will flourish even more in future

「What is going on? 」

「Aa…Can you see it? 」

As Edgar carried me on her shoulder, I looked towards the center of the crowd

Since my field of vieide open, I was able to confir had happened

Apparently a trouble has occurred between a noble and a commoner

A young wo as she hid a boy behind her

「I-I’ain! 」

「Shut up! This is a noble district It’s not a place where you low life dogs can enter as you like! 」

The guy who snapped appeared to be a noble’s attendant

The noble in question doesn’t seem to be around

I wonder what the situation was Edgar asked the woman next to her

「What is going on? A fireball suddenly flew into my shop 」

「Etto, it seems like the child has entered the noble district The attendant who happened to be passing by flew into a fit of rage when he sees him…」

I see

It’s not strange for a child to aimlessly trespass a place

However, there are a lot of dangerous nobles in the northern noble district

As a parent, she should pay ht still be unavoidable

「What should we do now? 」

「I hate nobles I’ to take that woman’s side 」

As she said so, she pushed away the surrounding people

The crowd thinned out in an instant

At that h jump and leaped over the crowd

Then she stood in front of the woly

Te–hold it oi! Are you planning to pull me into this too?

Although, I was planning to intervene too so I didn’t really mind it

Edgar lowered me to the floor and pointed at the attendant

「Anyone will in with, he’s still a child Is this how an adult supposed to response? 」

「Who the hell are you! 」

The noble’s attendant looked at her warily

When all the attentions were gathered, Edgar introduced herself out loud

「Edgar Christanval fro for? 」

「He’s an august individual unlike a commoner like you Listen clearly and prostate yourself before the naosu-sama--」

「Aa–, the attendants of that pig」

Edgar intercepted nonchalantly

As foraway at full power

I don’t really want to get myself involved with Durufu’s sect in a place like this

The attendant squinted on hearing the insult thrown at his master

「So Moreover the person beside you……Oi, if I am not mistaken--」

The attendant see to the private soldier behind about so

Soht have noticed me

The attendant who suddenly appeared deter

「Well well, aren’t you the young master froood tero without saying」

「What on earth are you talking about ossan I’ar’s nephew Just call me Allan Poe 」

I don’t want to reveal myself in a place like this

I’ll just keep feigning ignorance

It would be pointless to the attendants but it will have an effect on the spectators

「Then let’s just leave it at that We do not need to refrain ourselves fro punishht? 」

The attendant laughed suspiciously

However, he briskly returned to the noble district by foot
