Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous - Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous chapter 44
44 – #11. Longing for a Hero (1)
First of all, since the matter is a matter of concern, rather than saying anything to Lenny, I first packed the most urgent items in the mansion and looked around.
There are no significant changes in the residential area yet.
It will take some time for the defeat to be known. I wondered if it would be better to report this to the remaining leaders in the city, but I understood in my head that this would have to be decided by Mea, the person in charge of our party.
“The load is this much… ….”
What’s left?
What needs to be done in the future?
I thought about it for a while, but it didn’t come to mind. There is no way to control the helplessness that I feel every time like this. I knew it, but I felt like I was told it was useless.
I know this too.
At least the fact that Meana Jack cares about me.
In particular, in Mea’s case, he expresses ill feelings toward me, but in many ways, perhaps because of his soft nature, I couldn’t treat him in a way that cut him off.
Although Jack is a bit unexpected, in short, I am treated as a non-combatant.
My taste is bitter.
“…… Mister?”
“Are you here?”
“Hey, what are you doing? All of a sudden, I heard a sound…….”
How should I explain this to this child?
Running away because the people who protected the city are gone? I feel embarrassed to add such an explanation. As an adult, it even feels inappropriate to say something to a child.
Although it is realistic, it is immoral.
We learned that it is ethically natural to help someone when they are having a hard time, and that that is human nature, but when we think about it in reality, it was a very arduous task.
If Cecilia saw it, she would get angry because she had abandoned her human duty.
Laughter flowed naturally at the absurd imagination.
“Well, we can’t be here.”
“…… Is that so?”
The girl didn’t ask.
If you think about it, Lenny had a mature look that didn’t fit his age. She reads the atmosphere well, and she has shown an attitude that seems to be watching her opponent’s reaction from before.
That’s probably even more so than I used to walk around without being able to tell the difference.
However, I hated the current situation where this young child had no choice but to act while reading the atmosphere around her.
I wish I could relax a little more.
If Lenny really thought of me as her family, wouldn’t she be a little more comfortable talking to her, and at the same time she would ask me questions and sometimes even get away with it?
“That’s it.”
Leni sat in her wheelchair and silently nodded her head.
In her honest feelings, she hoped this child would question me a little, but when she did, she felt relieved that she had nothing to give back because neither she nor she knew much.
What a mass of contradictions this is.
And she actually says she evacuates just in case, but in reality nothing can happen.
All of this happened because Mea was very worried, and there could have been no damage to this city. Even though I hope that it was just a rain, the brow furrows.
I know.
Mea Ruianes couldn’t handle such a clumsy job.
She was a woman who controlled the dark side of the empire and a person who gathered information about the entire continent. She
She said that she is not limited to the empire, she collects information from the entire continent, and based on that, she contributes to the administration of state affairs.
“…… Mister?”
“Huh?”
“That’s because your breathing is getting a little rough.”
When she heard that, she realized that I was breathing heavily.
It’s comfortable to close your eyes.
If we escaped first, what would happen to the sacheri after that, honestly, wasn’t a matter of knowing. It was important to survive, and I couldn’t die in a place like this because I had to draw future events that would only happen after that.
But what if, as a worst-case scenario, the sword lord lost the battle was a monster that could not be stopped even with all of the city’s capabilities?
Wouldn’t it be better to evacuate the entire city in advance, even now?
But by what right.
Responsibilities in case anything goes wrong. Who has the right to wreak havoc on the city without a leader?
Even if everything is resolved, what is the basis for believing our words?
“It’s okay… How are you?”
“Maybe.”
It was only a little disconcerting to know that there was a crisis lurking in other people, maybe even in this whole city.
I am not a hero.
He wasn’t a hero, and he wasn’t great enough to save someone. He was just an indolent beast who did nothing and hoped something would be bestowed on him.
What can I do?
I couldn’t believe that if I touched it, something would flow in the right shape.
“So.”
It’s okay.
That back story didn’t follow.
My words were drowned out by the sudden noise.
It was late in the evening, and the sun was about to set, and I suddenly felt as if my vision had brightened. A feeling of trembling in the legs. It wasn’t my legs shaking, but maybe the entire ground was shaking?
Strange vibration transmitted through the body.
When I felt it and turned my head, I saw the scene of flames soaring all over the city.
“Ah, mister? What did you hear?”
“Okay, …… No sorry I don’t know.”
I couldn’t say it was okay.
Anyone can see that an explosion occurred throughout the city.
Simultaneous, random explosions. In fact, what I felt a strange vibration in my body was that several buildings around this area exploded at the same time, and the effect was transmitted to us.
It can’t be a coincidence.
No matter how coincidental it is, does it make sense that several places explode in sequence, enough to be seen from here?
In addition, the timing was right after the Margrave, who had formed a punitive force outside and started to retreat, began to retreat.
“For now, Lenny, will you hold on to the wheelchair?”
“Uncle.”
“It just takes a moment. It seems like something really strange is going on in the city. This man will check it out, but until then, I’m just counting on him.”
I just spit out words that didn’t make sense and turned my head.
A nearby explosion was also not far from this mansion. If he wanted to check it, he could have stepped forward and checked it immediately, but he couldn’t choose a hasty move in a situation where it seemed that the outside action was almost certain.
Mea and Jack?
Since he hadn’t returned yet and had only been told to wait in advance, I couldn’t move quickly from this mansion, but I couldn’t just stay here forever.
“Kyaaa!!”
With that in mind, I was thinking about staying in the mansion and moving.
A tearing scream was heard in the distance.
Then it became two, then three, gradually increasing to an uncountable number.
The problem was the direction, but it was difficult to determine where the enemy was moving because it could be heard from all directions.
If there is one thing that is certain, it is that the sound is coming from all over the residence at the same time.
“…… If so.”
I am the only one left in this mansion.
However, someone’s scream was coming from relatively close. It is not profitable in many ways to use this mansion as a shield for a sit-in.
I could have chosen that if I was alone, but in a situation where Lenny is with me, waiting inside, trembling with vague anxiety, is the first option.
I haven’t figured out everything yet.
So, I didn’t know where to move, but I moved first.
It wasn’t that there were no soldiers at all just because there was a subjugation in which a large number of combatants were recruited from within the city. Even soldiers for public order and personnel who did not participate in this subjugation.
First of all, I thought it would be better to get in touch with Mea and Jack after securing my own safety.
Moreover, it is clear that there is no time for hesitation as the screams coming from the nearby houses are constantly heard, and even gradually approaching.
“Lenny, from now on hold onto the wheelchair.”
This is a quiet residential area on a hill.
If you go straight down the downhill road, it leads to the vicinity of the government office, and if you get there, you will be protected somehow.
“Because it’s probably insanely fast? More than anything you’ve ever been through. It’s so fast that you’ll be able to shed tears, so hold on tight so you don’t fall.”
I started to push the wheelchair while uttering nonsensical words.
About two months after escaping from the Holy Land.
It was absurd that he had to run away with the girl again, but the incident had already happened.
Regardless of what caused the situation to deteriorate, I moved my feet first. To escape from the screams coming from behind, to survive.
It’s fragile.
I can’t do anything alone.
A coward to a coward. A hypocrite who can do nothing but think.
Such thoughts ran through my head.
“My head feels like it’s going to explode.”
* * *
Mea, who had been waiting near the North Gate to confirm the expedition’s visit and gathered information about her area, was stranded there.
“This is absurd.”
The fire soars.
I don’t know if that’s the only thing, but the animal-like cries that came from everywhere stimulated her nerves.
“Count Geo! What kind of situation is this!!”
“Do you understand me?”
I had no choice but to be harsh with Jack’s question.
She didn’t know much just because she was her. She enlisted several mercenaries in advance and moved them so that the aspect of the punitive force could be immediately reported, and she then scattered people around who could connect information, so she only received reports of defeat.
It wasn’t even that the gates were captured.
In the first place, it was not yet possible to confirm the appearance of any demons around Sacheri, and it was not even confirmed that it would feel like her demons.
“…… Just in case, I ask, what are you thinking?”
Preparations for leaving the city are almost complete.
The wanted wagon is over, and the replenishment of supplies for him is over. Of course, the problem of how to pull a carriage and get through the crowds in this congested city center remained, but at least it was no problem to leave straight away.
“Are you leaving? If that’s the case, I think it would be better to leave right now, and if you want to help this city at all, it would be right to accommodate the citizens around this gate.”
I don’t have the will to do that.
There is no reason. There is no basis. She had only come to this city to hide herself for a while, but she was obsessed with attracting her attention and putting it in the ears of the emperor, so that it would be a hassle if news of her person reached him.
It certainly was.
Her devastation has nothing to do with her and her companions.
I have to leave.
I knew it, but it wasn’t something I could simply say.
Actually, she didn’t like this city. She didn’t even care about dying people, and even if they didn’t exist, she was only considered people who would have died anyway if this happened.
But what would he have said if he were that man?
“…… I’ll clear the way at once. Merchant, take your servants and go back to the mansion.”
“It’s not a business anymore, and they’re not servants either.”
He frowned slightly, but he realized Mea was worried.
Is she worrying about her life and purpose?
However, the improvement in her s*xuality that she had only seen for a while, she did not seem like a woman who would put her life on the line and try to save others.
“What are you so worried about?”
“Just go fast.”
“Anyway, Sipal can’t say anything.”
After glaring at Jack for a while as he left, Mea immediately checked the movements around her.

Demonic beasts that suddenly appeared in the city at the same time.
I was able to accept that somehow, but as soon as the intellectless monster appeared, as if I was aiming for it, an explosion and flames began to soar in the downtown area.
This isn’t just the work of the Witchbeast.
It would have been natural if it was natural, but I was sure because of the flames.
There is a high probability that even the demons were involved in a complicated problem.
Moreover, considering that this city is a city close to the Devil’s Edge, it was unknown what the human defense line would be like defending the Cliff of Sorrow.
Problems bring problems.
It was no exaggeration to feel that the tail was caught.
She solved her problems in the Holy Land, but Mea frowned at the fact that even things on the opposite side are intertwined with her own people.
