Rattle, rattle…….
“H-hey! That luggage is moving!”
“Really? What’s in it!?”
I can hear the thieves panicked voices. And the next moment, I burst open the luggage and appeared in front of them.
“Ta~~~~da! Here comes a cute baby~~!”
That’s right, it’s me. In fact, I had hidden myself in one of the luggages beforehand.
「「「…… Huh? 」」」
As I landed on the ground, the thieves stiffened as if time had stopped.
“It seems like you guys are entranced by me, a cute baby huh.”
『Absolutely not…. They just can’t comprehend the absurd situation in front of them so they were stunned.』
Lindwurm retorted.
“W-wh-what’s with this brat!? Why is he in the luggage?”
“Rather than that, he just spoke, right!?”
“And he even did a somersault!?”
Ignoring the thieves who cried out in shock, I looked at Lill who is bound by the chains. She contorted her face in frustration,
“Kuu, I didn’t expect Master to see me in this pathetic state….…”
“Oh, don’t worry about it. Those chains, or rather, with those trapping spells, it is obviously not so easy to break free from it. Those chains were made so that even high-level demons could be captured after all. Well, if it you in your original form, you can forcibly tear it off though.”
“???”
Ignoring Lill who tilted her head wondering why I knew so much, I looked around.
“I never thought I’d see this thing again, and I’m surprised that it can still be used properly.”
“He’s just a baby! Let’s deal with him first!”
“Hn? Ah, right. This is not the time to be sentimental. I’ve got to do some cleaning first.”
The thieves are about to rush to me. However, they suddenly couldn’t move a single step from their spots.
“Uh-…… W-what’s wrong with my body…… it won’t move….…”
“M-me too…… It’s as if my whole body has turned into stone….…”
“What on earth……?”
“You guys are so noisy, so sleep here first.”
Right after I said that, they fall to the ground like puppets with their strings cut off.
“Master, did you kill them?”
“They are not dead. I just put them to sleep. Anyways, I’ll take those chains off for you.”
“Thank you Master….. Uuh-……I can’t believed I bothered master again.”
“Don’t worry about it. This thing is actually easy to take off. Just hit it with magic of a certain frequency…… Look, like this.”
The chains that bounded Lill tightly were easily removed.
“Eh? ……It’s true. As expected of Master. You are able to see through its properties at first glance.”
Lill, now free, cry in admiration.
“Nope, I didn’t see through it. I just knew. This magic tool is made by me after all.”
“What?”
“No, it’s not just this magic tool. I made this ship itself.”
Just then, multiple presence are approaching us at fast speed. Apparently, the other thieves noticed something unusual was going on here and have come rushing here.
“Oi, oi, there are intruders! Those guys are done for!”
“Damn it! I didn’t expect them to come in this far……!”
“Now that these two know where our base is, we can’t let them go back alive!”
They approached, expressing anger.
“……Intruders? Isn’t that the other way around? You guys are the ones who intrude here without permission, you know?”
“Master, leave this to me!”
As if to make up for her previous blunder, Lill rushed towards them at breakneck speed.
“Be careful. They may have other troublesome magical items. —Oh, never mind. You have you already defeated them huh.”
When I warned her to be careful, there were no thieves that remained standing. In terms of combat ability, it seems that they are all miscellaneous fish.
“I just let my guard down a little bit earlier, and I won’t make the same mistake again.”
“Ah, that-, if you step on it, the trap will be activated.”
“Eh? ~~~~~~eeeeeh!?”
Lill said a cool line, but the chains once again wrapped around her legs and pulled her up. She was suspended upside down from the ceiling.
“There are traps all over this ship.”
