Chapter 40: 15 year old Inglis and the Town Ruled by a Highlander (11)
Screams raised all over the castle were heard even from within the bathhouse. Parts of the ceilings fell into the bath with a great splash.
「W, WAAAHH!? Wh-what is it, an earthquake…!?」 「Maybe. It sure is big.」
The two sat beside each other as they watched the situation unfold. Then, after the tremble came to an end, next was—
「M-, Magic Stone Beasts! We’ve got Magic Stone Beasts!!」 「Assemble! Protect the lady!」 「Women and children, take shelter in the basement now!」
Concerned shouts began to echo from various sources.
「!? Magic Stone Beasts…!? Even though there’s no notice from the guard outside the walls…!?」 「Either way, we have to help too! It’ll be a disaster if something happened to Lady Cyrene!」 「You’re right. Let’s get dressed ASAP.」
Just as Inglis and Rafinha were readying themselves…
DOONN!!!
The bathhouse’s roofs were blown away as though it just exploded. Fortunately, the rubble fell in a vacated spot, so they were safe and sound.
