Chapter 4 - A Cliché Turn of Events

After leaving the café with Lied, we walked around town and then... 

Townswoman: Kyah!!

Suddenly, we heard the shriek of a townsperson. What we saw was a single tall man running over here fiercely. 

Townswoman: Get him! He's a thief!

Thief: Move it!

The thief swung a knife around as he was running. 

Lied: Over here. 

Lied pulled my arm and stepped aside towards the road to avoid the thief. Is what I thought... 

Thief: ...!!!

Just when I thought that Lied was stepping aside, he tripped the thief. When the thief fell loudly... 

Thief: Y-You bastard!!

The moment he fell, he got up as his face was swollen red painfully. Although, at that moment, the townspeople that were chasing the thief cornered him. 

Lied: This kingdom's public order isn't good... Is Stimma okay? 

 Thief: Dammit...!

MC: Eh... 

Just as the thief turned towards me, he ran over here... The next moment, I was taken hostage in the thief's arm. 

Lied: ...!

Thief: Don't come any closer!

With the blade pressed against my neck, the cold sensation made a chill go down my spine. 

Lied: Such a cliché turn of events. 

Lied sighed deeply... 

Last Chapter - The World Today Too

When the peaceful afternoon in town suddenly changed, it became noisy with the thief shouting... 

Thief: Don't come any closer!

MC: ... 

The blade against my neck made me tremble. 

Lied: How troubling. This person is a pretty important guest. 

Thief: Wha...!? 

Lied calmly walked towards the thief and me. 

Thief: I-I said don't come any closer! Don't you care about what happens to this person!? 

Lied: That's why I said it's troubling. Just do as I say. I'm a prince after all. 

Thief: Eh...

The moment the thief widened his eyes... Lied grabbed the blade that was on me with his bare hand. 

MC: Lied!!

Lied's hand started bleeding. 

Thief: ...!!

Lied: Ah, but I wouldn't like becoming a hostage. I know, how about you sell my head? I think you'll get a good amount of money depending on the seller. 

Thief: A-Are you insane!? 

Lied: I don't really mind. I don't have any reason to live after all. 

When he said that with a smile, Lied pointed the tip of the knife towards his own neck. 

MC: Lied, stop it!

Thief: Ah...

Unable to understand what was happening, the thief's hand that was holding the blade started shaking. 

MC: ...!

Taking that opportunity, I used all my strength to push the thief away. Then, a townsperson grabbed the thief soon after and took him away. 

MC: Lied! Lied... Are you okay!? 

When I ran over to Lied, I wrapped a handkerchief around the injury on Lied's hand. 

Lied: It's no big deal... I'm really glad. I didn't want you to get hurt. 

As the bleeding still wasn't stopping, the handkerchief started to turn red. 

MC: I'm fine, but the blood...!

Feeling a tear in my eye, I was panicking and... 

Lied: It hurts, but I'm alive. 

Lied softly placed his other hand on my head. 

MC: Lied...? 

At that moment, he gently petted my head. 

Lied: Doesn't look like the world is going to end today... 

MC: It won't. It won't end, so take more care of yourself... 

Lied: ...I don't like it when you're making that kind of face. So, I'm going to assume that this world is going to continue for the time being. 

As he said that with a troubled smile, his hand felt very warm...
