“Well, you see… you’re a baby who can survive any danger, right?”
“I’m not denying it, but ….…”
On that day, I received a request from Ilia. Apparently, there have been many cases of baby abduction in this city recently. It is said that the victims have asked the guild to search for the baby, but since there are no clues, they have come up with the idea of a decoy operation using an actual baby.
But they can’t just put a real baby in danger. So, like a chosen one, I’ll be acting as the decoy.
“I’d love to get your help because I know what you’re capable of when you took the practical exam you see.”
“Yes. You’re more powerful than us.”
The people who talked to me were the two adventurers who acted as examiners during the practical exam. Was it C-rank adventurers Lot and Lana?
“Basically, you’ll be our child.”
To lure the criminal, the strategy is that the two of them play the role of husband and wife, and I play the role of their baby.
“Alright.”
I said, looking at Lana’s breasts.
『…… Master? Did you check the size of her breasts just now? 』
(No. I didn’t accept this because I wanted to enjoy her breasts you know. It is only because of my 100% good intentions of wanting to help solve this tragic case.)
“Really? We’re saved!”
Saying this, Lot picked me up and hugged me happily.
No, no, a man is uncalled for! ……Ugh!
We were walking down a less popular road. It is a so-called quiet residential area, and it is in this kind of place that has been the scene of a relatively large number of abduction cases that have occurred so far.
“…… Are you sure they will come?”
“I’m not sure either. But we have to believe in that possibility so let’s wait patiently. Besides, we have to act like a happy couple so that we don’t look suspicious. Of course, I’ll ask Reus-kun to do so as well.”
“Awa-awa”
As I’m acting like a baby, I couldn’t help but involuntarily scream inside my head.
I don’t need baby carriages!
Unfortunately, Lana didn’t hold me. She placed me in a baby carriage.
……Well, thinking about it, this will certainly make it easier for the criminal to target…… Damn it, I missed the mark!
『Master? Who said it was out of one hundred percent good intentions? 』
I have the eyes of a dead fish, and the two people who played the couple talked to me.
“Oh, Reus-chan, are you asleep?”
“You’re tired, aren’t you?”
“A-wa-”
By the way, these two seem to be brother and sister. They don’t look very similar, but in this way, it’s rather convenient for them to play the role of husband and wife. After that, we continued to walk around the residential area for a while.
It’s a fairly large city. As expected, it seemed like this decoy operation would not succeed in the first try.
“I’ll have to go back to the village when I have a little more money.”
“I wonder if Mom and Dad are doing well.”
While the tension was worn off as the two of them were having such a casual conversation, I suddenly sensed the presence of a suspicious man. He is in the shade of a street tree. Judging from the way he disappeared, I guess he wasn’t just passing by.
Shurl, Shurl, Shurl
Hmm, looks like something came flying to me.
It looked like a thick thread. As I thought what flew straight to me, it suddenly entangled my body like a tentacle. And just like that, I was entangled in the thread, and my small body soared out of the baby carriage and floated into the air.
It is only then that Lot and Lana noticed that something is wrong.
“Hey, what are you-!?”
“What the hell is this thread!? Damn it!”
Lot quickly draws his sword, but the thread is already out of reach. Lana hurriedly released her magic.
“Fireball!”
A mass of flame struck directly, but it could not burn the thread.
……This thread is coated with magic huh.
This not only makes it resistant to magic, but also allows that person to manipulate the thread at will. It’s a pretty interesting move.
Can’t be helped then.
Good. I used my magic to temporarily nullify the coating. With that, the thread unravels, and my body was freed and falls to the ground.
“Aaah!, It’s dangerous!”
Lana panicked and quickly caught me.
Whoa, she has good breasts as I expected. Fufu.
『Master, is this really the time to do that? 』
“I won’t let you escape!”
On the other hand, the suspicious man is trying to escape so Lot hurriedly chased after him. But around the corner,
“……N-not here!?”
Apparently, he was able to escape.
Looking at Lot, who was frustrated for letting the man who seemed to be the culprit go, I said,
“It’s okay. I made sure to mark him with tracking magic.”
