The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 161

What was I thinking when I first took up a sword as an executioner in the underworld?

I couldn’t quite remember.

It wasn’t a particularly memorable moment for Karha.

It was no different from facing monsters in the Black Forest.

The underworld was full of trash even worse than monsters.

Karha worked diligently, feeling like a cleaner.

She also liked that she could engage in real combat against humans.

But after her mother died and even Chesha disappeared.

She thought it was fortunate that she was an executioner.

Because she didn’t know what to do when she was so tormented and wanted to die.

Swinging a sword without thinking at least eased the pain.

She mechanically carried out the given tasks, forgetting the pain even if only a little.

And now.

“…….”

She thought it was fortunate that she had become an adult while working as an executioner.

Because she wouldn’t have been able to make proper threats as a child.

Karha stared at the inn where the Skaya royal family was staying.

It was the closest and most decent inn in the underworld.

But it was far from sufficient for Chesha to stay in.

Karha frowned slightly.

Could Chesha really be there?

Does she not want to return to Basilian enough to mingle with the Skaya royals in such a shabby place?

The little baby definitely liked us the most.

Why did she come to hate Basilian so much?

It wasn’t a normal way of thinking.

Even knowing she was just like the crazy Kiern, Karha kept having bad thoughts.

It was when she slowly blinked, letting the water droplets on her wet eyelashes fall.

Those who had subtly appeared from the darkness surrounded Karha.

Karha stood still, staring straight ahead.

A man stood in front of the darkened inn with his arms crossed.

He seemed to recognize Karha and greeted her as if he was glad to see her.

“Executioner.”

Itar Skaya was someone who frequented the underworld in the past.

He frequented it like his own home, chasing after the enchantress Richessia, so he knew the ways of the underworld well.

Therefore, he recognized Karha’s identity as soon as he saw her.

“Why would the executioner of the underworld come to this place?”

Itar scanned Karha up and down, pretending to be relaxed.

From his attitude, Karha gained certainty.

The Skaya royal family was indeed holding Chesha.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to be awake and on guard at dawn.

Normally, the mercenaries assigned as guards would be watching over the inn all night, and the crown prince would simply be sleeping comfortably in his inn room.

“Chesha Basilian.”

When Karha uttered the name briefly, Itar’s eyes wavered slightly.

“Are you holding her?”

To the question filled with certainty, Itar smiled, hiding his nervousness.

“It’s no use saying no, is it? They say the master of the underworld sees and hears everything, and it seems it’s true.”

It was the information network that Basilian had built up over several generations of ruling the underworld.

Even Palen’s Sun Emperor was bound by the spiderweb-like information network, so he knew the movements of the Skaya Kingdom inside and out.

Rather, this time, he was a little late in recognizing it for some reason.

Originally, he would have noticed as soon as Chesha appeared in the Skaya Palace.

Itar, who readily admitted to holding Chesha, drew a sword from his waist.

It was a curved sword mainly used in the southern coastal region, especially in the Skaya Kingdom.

“Why is the executioner looking for a child? If there is no convincing reason, I cannot accept it.”

“Count Basilian made a request to the master.”

“Ha! Was that person one to accept requests just because he was asked? That’s truly an amazing thing to say.”

In reality, he was an existence impossible to even meet, so Itar could only sneer like that.

But even while sneering like that, Itar couldn’t hide his greed and revealed it.

“What exactly did Count Basilian do to entice the master?”

“…….”

“I don’t know what price Count Basilian paid, but I can give the same, no, even more.”

Itar proposed to Karha, who was silent.

“Let me meet the master. If you accept my request instead of Count Basilian’s, it will be of great benefit to each other.”

There was no reason to talk any further.

Since he didn’t seem to be willing to hand her over willingly, it was a situation that had to be resolved with force.

Karha drew two swords.

The blades drawn in a cross gleamed eerily in the moonlight.

Seeing the swords called the best swords in the world, Itar narrowed his eyes.

The moment their gazes met.

The two men rushed towards each other.

Clang!

The blades collided.

Sparks flew with a sharp metallic sound.

Attacks and defenses continued so quickly that it was difficult to follow with the eyes.

It was like two beasts entangled.

However, no matter how skilled Itar was in swordsmanship.

Karha was a Basilian.

She was born with the most dazzling talent, had been training with a sword since birth, and now had the body of an adult, so there was no physical disadvantage.

Itar was no match for Karha.

The fight, which seemed evenly matched at first glance, soon began to tilt in Karha’s favor.

In the brief moment when Itar faltered from the relentless attacks of the dual swords, Karha did not miss the opening.

Blocking him with one sword, she plunged the other sword into his unguarded side.

He narrowly avoided it, but Itar’s clothes were torn a long way.

The neatly torn fabric fluttered, revealing bare skin.

The night air touched his skin coolly.

Itar let out a short laugh.

“Your skills are quite impressive.”

Karha twisted her lips at his continued composure.

Without answering, she swung her sword again.

Itar was completely pushed back by the rapidly attacking speed.

Itar, who had foreseen his defeat, blew a short, high-pitched whistle.

Then, the mercenaries who had been watching the fight rushed in all at once.

As many people rushed in at once, Karha naturally had no choice but to move away from Itar.

Itar ordered in a loud voice.

“The rest of you follow me! We’re moving immediately.”

The strategy was to grab Chesha and run away while holding Karha back.

Karha dodged the arrows fired by the mercenaries and immediately drew a dagger from her waist and threw it.

However, Karha’s dagger stopped in mid-air.

There was a mage among the mercenaries hired by Itar.

Seeing Karha slightly flustered, Itar laughed heartily.

“I learned a good lesson after being beaten up in Palen last time.”

The mage who had blocked the dagger was about to use attack magic on Karha when.

“Who said you could?”

Magic flashed with an elegant voice.

Someone wearing the same black leather clothes as Karha appeared in the air.

The slender man stretched out his arm straight.

The magic was split into dozens of strands and shot like arrows.

The mage who was trying to attack Karha was eventually injured while blocking the rain of arrows.

The man indifferently passed by the mage who was spitting blood and falling, and stood side by side with Karha.

Karha frowned.

“Why did you come? Unnecessarily.”

She could have solved it sufficiently even without Ishuel’s help.

Ishuel immediately retorted.

“Do you think I came to help you? I heard my sister is here.”

The bright red eyes glared at the inn, which had lit up in the midst of the unexpected chaos.

“…She’s inside the inn, right.”

It was an event that happened in the blink of an eye.

The golden flash that emanated from Ishuel blew away the roof of the inn.

Those who were staying on the top floor of the inn suddenly faced the night sky.

“Kkyaaa!”

Ishuel used magic to float his body into the air and scrutinized each of the people who were screaming and running away.

The young princess of Skaya was visible.

She was screaming with a pale face.

“Chesha! Chesha Basilian!”

Seeing the child frantically looking for Chesha, Ishuel bit his lower lip.

Chesha was not inside the inn.

“…What.”

If this is the case, it really seems like she’s running away from us.

Swallowing the low whisper, he tasted a bitter taste of blood.

It was because he had bitten his lip too hard without realizing it.

It was when Ishuel was licking his blood-tasting lips.

“Wait a minute!”

A small man came running in a hurry.

The man, flapping his ears and tail, which were symbols of a half-beast, was a familiar face.

“I, I, am Hata. The hat shop…….”

Hata, whose face was flushed red, gasped as he saw the chaotic scene.

Even though he was shrinking under the murderous gaze, he said what he had to say until the end.

“Um, Richessia said, she wants to talk.”

Hata rolled his eyes anxiously and added the most important words.

“Chesha is with her too.”
