[Chapter 11] =

...

With what had happened last night and our last conversation just a moment ago, it didn't take much for all of us to take action.

Before the maid could even blink I was already behind her! Blocking his way out!

"Eek!"

The fact that her super short skirt just flew up, because of my dash, and had flashed us with her panny was not my intention at all!

But thankfully before the woman can even berate me of proper ethics and whatnot, Kitamura was suddenly in front of her and his spear was directly at her face! An inch was the only distance between the legendary metal and her mortal flesh!

Sword Boy is at Kitamura's side, his hand ready to unsheath the sword if she ever makes any funny movement.

And lastly, though not as fast as us, we have Bow Brat at the rear end with an arrow already nocked at the bow.

"Tell us what you know about what happened last night!"

The spear went closer to her face. When she didn't answer immediately.

"I-I wa-wa-was n-not-tt... wah..! Ahh!"

Ugh... She started crying. This is getting awkward for me. But it would seem that Kitamura has a different thought about this.

Before Kitamura could even stab the spear to her face though, he was held back by Sword Boy who glared at him.

"Tsk!"

He relented and step back making way for Sword Boy to comfort the crying maid.

"Shush... now... It's ok... it's ok..."

Seeing this Bow Brat lowered his Bow and slump back to his bed. "Hou... That was not good for my heart..."

I silently nod at what he said. But I didn't drop my guard, because that's the only thing I can do right now, and still look at the woman in suspiciousness.

Seeing nothing new after three minutes, I snorted and walk out. Now back on my track to looking for my glasses. Which I hope is still in one piece.

Kitamura and Bow Brat also tried to tag along but I stop by raising a palm in their direction!

I am not worried about any attack this early, because it is stupid to attack during the day inside a castle with three other Heroes that might gang up and beat their asses.

And also I am not like my past self! During the entire night in the chamber I had unlocked, so to speak, the equip bonuses of my shields! Adding a few more points in my Defense!

This is not to be underestimated! As even a single point difference can make a massive change in the statistics of things!

Small things can stack and make it stronger!

(Muahahaha!)

After what had happened, I think I would rather go full Wall Tank instead of an Aggro Tank, just to keep myself safe. Even if my current psychological state no longer makes me feel fear and pain much. The memories of that bastard taking my eye out still haunt me and makes me want to have that not happened again, at all!

Along the way back to that accursed hall I pass up on a glass window that reflects my visage.

A frown appeared on my face. The wrapping around my head had loosened and has shown what's underneath it.

(I look dead.)

My eye looks dull and my left side is full of deep and long scars. Like what I had concluded before, I could scare children just by looking at them now.

(This might also be the reason why she got frightened and called me an undead.)

I feel bad for her now. It wasn't her fault that she got a full view of my mug and then we had threatened her! This might affect her in a very negative way... Hope Sword Boy pulls out that protagonist charm of his to help her out.

In all honesty, I hate my current face. It just reminds me of last night. Too weak and powerless to help myself out of the situation. The humiliation, mocking and being beaten up to the point that many of my counterparts from different timelines died.

—Chik! —Krikk!

"!?"

Uwaa..! That shocks me.

Good thing it was just the glass window cracking. Got to say, this must be pretty old to just crack out of nowhere.

"Err..."

This will be, probably, blamed on me if anyone saw me here.

By the way, I didn't whistle while walking away. That would be way too sus in my opinion. I did cough though before walking away.

Now I am back to the scene of the crime and seeing the place had quickly made my face fell and my mood goes dark.

"... There is nothing here..."

Like literally nothing. The holes, cracks, debris, and blood aren't there anymore!

"What's going on...!"
