...Attacked for Misunderstanding...
...(.(.This is due to eating without pay!)...
When Naruto and Eriza looked back simultaneously, they saw two swords each attached to the back of their necks. It seemed that the person holding the sword was very serious and wanted to finish off the two if they made any suspicious moves.
The person holding the sword was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties who had red hair and was tied into a ponytail, and light brown eyes. He had a sturdy and slender body, as well as a serious fixed eye look at the two of them.
"Sister Christina, this is not what you imagined!" may shouted at the figure of the woman who had just come.
"The two of you, you are looking at the Princess with a very alert and suspicious gaze. Looks like you guys have bad intentions for him." Christina stared intently and waited for answers from Naruto and Eriza.
Christina did not hear what May said. Right now, his attention had been completely fixed on Naruto and Eriza who had been suspected by him.
'Princesses! So all this time she was a princess! This is so shocking! Did he sneak out? If so, this explains all his strange gurgles, Naruto and Eriza simultaneously.
"Sorry, sorry, but maybe there's a misunderstanding between us. So, if you are pleased, can you keep this sword away from us? Well, you know, right, if the sword is a dangerous, sharp object, and can seriously injure someone?" naruto said with a relaxed smile, trying to calm Christina who was already suspicious of the two of them.
"Hmm, I think what you're saying is true" said Christina who seemed to understand about Naruto.
"Yes, yes, the two of you have absolutely no ill intentions towards the Princess, we just met her on the street, then she took the three of us to lunch here." Eriza nodded her head, supporting Naruto's argument.
He was also included as a victim of misunderstanding like Naruto here. Of course he would try to save himself from this dangerous and unfortunate situation. If this plot continued, then the worst possibility was that they would have to fight.
Even if the two of them could defeat the woman in front of him, there was no guarantee that the people around them would not get involved. Naruto and Eriza did not want them involved, and if possible they did not want any infrastructure or property damaged.
"Very convincing. But, you two can explain everything in the office later, huh?" christina said while making a sweet-looking smile.
Although it looks sweet, but not for both of them. The smile felt more like a creepy grin and was accompanied by bloodlust and wanted to fight. This did not make them shudder in fear, but both felt that a troublesome matter would soon come their way.
"I'm sorry, but I refused. I still haven't had lunch and I'm hungry right now. I guess, I'll go to your room next time," Naruto said with a carefree smile, imitating Christina's smile.
"Sorry, but I insist, boy!" Christina's voice and face instantly also turned serious.
*glash!*
Christina drew her sword behind Naruto, then swung vertically down using the flat side of her sword.
He intended to hit Naruto with the sword and knock him unconscious, only to take Naruto to his place. Christina had no intention of hurting Naruto, after all she just wanted to secure the two and ask them a few questions.
Naruto raised his palm up and caught the sword blade that was descending on him.
"It's really not something funny, you know. My head will be bumped even if it won't be split." Naruto began to become serious when he felt that this woman could not be compromised.
'Shit! Are our watchful expressions so suspicious that this person suspects us of being the one who wanted to kidnap May? At least please can you be considered to be speaking well?' inner Naruto.
"A-A …." Eriza was at a loss for words with this incident.
On the one hand he felt afraid and wanted to defend himself, but on the other he was afraid that his magic would hit others because this was a public place and happened to be crowded.
His training with Elena and Naruto did provide a rapid development in intruding magic and the strength of his attacks, but because this was the first time he fought in the crowd, he hesitated about what to do.
"ah! T-This is something bad!" may shouted at that.
'Woy, Princess, instead of saying that, you better say if we are both innocent! Shouldn't the royal family like you be maintaining peace in this place? What do you usually do every day?' inner Naruto while glancing at May.
This was one of the times that made Naruto feel upset in his life. He felt he had been put in trouble and not helped to solve the problem though he could. Elena who is her brother may often put her in a bad situation, but this is the first time she feels upset.
"Hou, you're something great, boy. Most people won't be able to react at the speed of my sword swing, yet you seem a little different. Are you the best student in the knight academy?" christina asked with a cheerful smile.
He would be very happy if Naruto was part of this country. After all, having a strong individual enter his kingdom was something good. But even if not, at least Christina would be a little happy to do a duel against Naruto.
"Unfortunately no! I'm just a wanderer who happened to stop by for a while to this town because there are some things to do. Sorry for disappointing you." Naruto was still trying to say politely, hoping that Christina would become more docile and stop attacking them. After all, he did not want to fight.
"Wanderer, huh? Are you here to find the Hero —Shin Wolford—?"
'Really, Tom told me that Shin Wolford who is a Hero is attending a magic academy in this city. Actually I'm not interested in him, but after he said it, now I'm starting to wonder about him.'
'Shin Wolford once defeated a human demon who was predicted to destroy an empire easily. Well, less believe in that. After all if there was such a powerful figure, then this world could be destroyed just because of the existence of demons.'
"Sorry, but we're here to learn something related to enchantment magic, we're less interested in him. But, if we were given the chance, I think I would rather meet him," replied Naruto.
"Hmm, so that's your answer. Alright, now you can fall asleep for a while!"
Cristina drew the other sword behind Eriza's neck and began to slash it horizontally at Naruto's neck.
'Basic troublesome woman!' naruto shouted in his mind.
