Chapter 149.2: The Captured People

「Let him stand like that. I want to examine him for a while.」

「Ka~y. Here you go~, stand up and stay sti~ll.」

「Thanks, Tibel.」

Then I took the hood off the man who stayed still.

What came out from beneath the hood was a patched-up face.

I pulled out the sword from his chest and examined his wound.

And I saw that not a drop of blood came out from his wound.

「I don't even know what this is…」

It seems this man was a former human. And then, did he by chance get remodeled?

Alas, I couldn't waste my time trying to understand that matter right now.

I mean, my previous question had yet to be answered.

「Tibel, can you ask this man to continue to go to the place he was going to a while ago?」

「Yes, Kuroki-sama. Hey you, guide us to where you were going to just no~w.」

The man nodded, turned around and walked.

A while later, we arrived at the other entrance on the back of the castle.

「There's another entrance huh.」

In addition, this place was deserted. I had no idea why no one was guarding this place but I set that question aside and moved forward.

Upon entering, I saw stairs toward the underground.

We walked with that man leading us.

The place was bright thanks to the candles that were furnished along the wall.

Meaning that the undead weren't the only ones living in this castle.

Reason being the undead didn't need light to see their surroundings.

After descending the stairs for a while, we arrived in front of a gate.

「Tibel, tell the man to stop in front of the gate.」

「Okay. Stop.」

I walked ahead of the man who stood still and examined the door.

Suddenly, I heard some voices from inside.

I used my object perception. It should allow me to perceive what’s happening on the other side of the gate from the small gap.

Thus, I saw five humanoids moving in the spacious room.

They didn't seem like undead. Their presence was more like that of living humans.

I tried to use the skill that I learned just recently, undead perception, but it turns out there were no undead in there.

「There are people in there. Maybe his comrades. Tibel, can you control a few people at the same time?」

「U~hm. It might be tough. But, it might be possible if I put them to slee~p.」

「Put them to sleep huh, I see, it seems they're weak against mind magic. Let's go, Tibel. Let him go in first.」

Considering the previous example, mind magic was the best choice to be used on them.

On the other hand, mind magic didn't work against the undead.

In addition, I could use sleeping magic too.

If I work with Tibel, we should be able to take care of five opponents at once.

「Okay, Kuroki-sama. Well, go inside.」

Tibel told the man to go inside.

When he entered the room, the people with the white hoods inside the room looked at us.

I knew from their eyes that they had souls in there. It was different from the people who did the farmwork.

「What's the matter? Why do you have a hole in your chest? Wait? Who are the people behind you?」

One of the men with hoods asked while looking at us.

Found out eh?

Well, since I hadn't expected that my shady disguise would work, I expected this situation.

「Tibel!」

「Yes!」

Tibel leapt from my pocket.

After confirming that our disguise had failed us, I gave the signal to Tibel to use sleeping magic.

「Ugh….!」

The man fell asleep.

「Enemy?」

The other white hooded people besides the collapsed one rushed at us with big hammers in their hands.

Though the hammers looked heavy, the men wielded them so effortlessly with one hand.

Maybe they're actually stronger than normal humans.

Alas, that was within my margin of error.

I dodged the hammer coming at me and put the other party to sleep with sleeping magic.

Finally, I put the rest to sleep as they tried to escape from the room.

Their strength might be strong alas, they're less agile than normal humans.

Even I could overtake them in my current condition.

「I'm done, how about you, Tibel?」

When I looked in Tibel's direction, I saw people with white hoods already collapsed beneath her feet.

Yup, no problem on her side too.

No one came because they heard noise just now too.

「It seems we're safe.」

I surveyed the room.

There were another two doors aside from where we came from.

One of the doors was the one that the hooded man was heading to.

Maybe it was heading to the next area.

If that was the case, what about the other door?

When I looked at the other door, I heard a faint human voice from inside.

When I used material perception, I detected several humanoid presences from inside.

Are they by chance the comrades of the white hooded people?

But if that was the case, they should've joined their comrades from before.

「Tibel. Can you ask the people we caught what kind of people are behind this door?」

「Yes, Kuroki-sama.」

I asked Tibel to ask the man we caught first.

「There are prisoners inside that room.」

「Prisoners? Wendy and co?」

But, the presence didn't seem like the presence of the children.

They felt more like the presence of adults.

「Kuroki-sama~. I feel an ominous presence from insi~de.」

「Ominous presence? Does that mean they're dangerous?」

Tibel shook her head when I asked her.

「I don't know. But somehow, I don't want to go inside~」

She looked really scared.

This was the first time Tibel made that kind of face.

It seems the people inside weren't enemies, but what kind of people were inside to make her that scared?

Maybe something unpredictable was waiting for us.

「I understand. Watch this place Tibel, I'll go inside.」

I told Tibel to wait while taking off my hood and went inside.

If they're not enemies, it should be alright to let her wait here.

I took off my hood to tell the people inside that I'm not their enemy. Better than hiding my face. frёeωebɳovel.com

I opened the door.

When I turned on the light in the room.

「WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS!?」

I unintentionally raised my voice.

An unexpected spectacle spread out before me.

In that room, a group of fat men were tied with rope, naked.

It was a parade of ass and chest hair.

The room was really sultry and smelled like sweaty old men.

I reflexively pinched my nose and mouth.

「Who's there… It seem you're not their comrade, did you come to save us?」

One of the men tied inside asked so while looking at me.

He was a fearless and macho man.

He would look dignified had it not been for his legs being tied up into a "V" letter.

There were so many things that I wanted to ask.

「This is truly a strange situation…」

What kind of sin have I committed to stumble into a room filled with naked old men?

I wanted to cry dammit.

◆Captured Wendy

We were brought to the castle of the lord.

The place we were brought to was a tall castle on the hill.

I could see the silhouette of the mountain from the window.

We were brought into the cage in the middle of the room.

Though the window was only a few steps away, I couldn't reach it.

We couldn't escape.

「Big sis Wendy, what’s going to happen to us?」

Michal asked anxiously while looking at us.

I wanted to reassure him but that was impossible.

I felt really anxious for some reason.

Everyone who was brought along with me had the same anxious face.

「Michal. You're troubling Wendy.」

Lily chided Michal.

Lily had pretty much given up on this situation.

Lily was smart enough to understand what would happen to us after this.

Naturally, I also knew what was going to happen to us.

The reason we were raised until now was to feed the vampire.

But, I hadn't expected them to bring all of us at once.

「Tibel-chan… Kuroki-san…」

I was pondering about their fate.

I wanted to at least bid them goodbye.

In that case, I wanted to at least go to heaven while having a good dream.

Tibel-chan was really beautiful. She had azure-colored butterfly wings and snow-white skin.

Her wings released particles of light whenever she flapped them. It felt like I could also fly if I was with her.

I looked at the sky from the cage.
