Damn it.

I just stood still.

Shall I run away like this?

Yes, I'm sure I'll be caught in no time.

Is there any other way?

Thoughts were rushing through my head.

"Hey, can't you hear me?"

When I did not respond, the soldier of Sushou spoke in a more ferocious voice.

I can't help it.

I looked up at the soldiers and asked.

"What's going on?"

"Take off your hood for a moment. There's something I need to check."

"...I will."

I nodded my head softly and lowered the hood that had been covering me deeply.

"Done?"

When you are questioned or interrogated, you have to go out more confidently.

"Oh."

One of the two soldiers approached and gazed through my face.

But somehow he didn't compare my face with what he had in his hand like any other soldier I had just seen.

As if I wasn't the one they were looking for in the first place.

It was the moment that I felt bad about the increasingly blatant gaze.

"Let's go."

The other soldier spoke as if to hurry the soldier.

But the soldier who was looking at me laughed and quivered as if he was having fun.

"It doesn't metter. It's nice to the eyes while we're at it, right?"

This asshole.

"Well, it looks like it's definitely not."

It was time for a soldier with such a bad smile to turn around.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

Where are you just going?

If you offended me, spit out some useful information.

When I called him myself, the soldier raised one eyebrow as if it was unexpected.

"What?"

"Is there something going on in Arcadia? I came on a trip, and the atmosphere was terrible..."

I continued speaking with a frightened performance.

"If something bad happened, I think it would be better to move on to the next city right away."

"Oh, no big deal."

The soldier replied, waving one hand.

"I just got information that the wanted person is traveling to Sushou, and I'm looking for him."

"Wanted...?"

Are you looking for me?

I think it's a bit crazy to mobilize soldiers just to find me, but it's quite possible if it's Chanton Sushou.

I asked with a worried face for more information.

"That person must have committed a terrible crime..."

"Not really, but if he's bad, is he a bad person? The truth is..."

"Hey, let's go."

The other soldier, who seemed to have had his mind straightened up, frowned and cut off his words.
