nights. 

 

Even if Selina successfully stole the money pouch and ran away, she will obviously be caught sooner. 

 

‘How should I do that….’

 

Selina’s shoulders that had been overflowing with confidence up until now, were drooping.
Though it still doesn’t change the fact that she has to do it. 

 

Selina took a deep breath and ran out of the alley.
The person who taught her pickpocketing in the past told her that it’s better to bump into that person than to hesitate. 

 

She closed her eyes and decided to go for the boy, and not the girl.
The boy was too preoccupied while looking at the girl.
Those who don’t look forward are likely to be targets.
Moreover, he was different from the girl with his blank and straight expression on his face. 

 

Selina hit on the boy’s shoulder as hard as she could. 

 

“Ack!”

 

Selina rolled around.

“Terrun, Ysu! Are you alright?”

 

Thanks to the child who bumped into Terrun, even Ysu fell to the floor.
Alexa was startled and hugged the growling puppy.
She let out a long sigh after checking him making sure he doesn’t have injuries. 

 

“That’s a relief.
You’re not hurt.
That surprised me, Ysu.”

 

Terrun’s mouth gaped as Alexa only seemed to care about Ysildus. 

 

Terrun stood up holding the hands of the knights who supported him and patted his butt.
He then reached out his hand to the girl who was lying indifferent on the floor; it didn’t mean anything.
She fell down, so he was just helping her to get up.

 

But the girl, as if she was scared of something, bowed her head while mumbling sorry and thanked him in a small voice before running away.
She vanished quickly like wind before he could even say anything. 

 

“I don’t think she was seriously injured seeing how she ran away.
Terrun, let’s go to the weapon shop first.
You said you wanted to look around there.”

 

Terrun stared blankly at the back of the girl who had disappeared, then turned his head back at Alexa’s call. 

 

“Yes!”

 

Terrun followed after Alexa with an expression of immense joy that Alexa showed interest in him.
In doing so, he had lost something and didn’t even feel that his body became lighter. 

 

“What are you going to look at in the weapon shop?”

 

“I don’t know.
My master said that I should have my own sword soon, so I wanted to look around.”

 

Come to think of it….
Alexa narrowed her eyes and nodded.

 

The peerless Sub-Male Lead here grew up to be a good swordsman.
He might me a naughty young boy getting along with Alexa now, but he will be one of the few sword masters on the continent! She thought that there was nothing wrong with showing it to Terrun at this time. 

 

Though it wasn’t Alexa’s money inside her pocket, it was something in the market that Visten could understand even if she spent a lot of money.
In the original story, it was Visten who bought a sword for Terrun.
What’s wrong with Alexa buying that for Terrun in advance? Alexa hummed and walked away. 

 

“Alright, let’s go! Ack!”

 

Of course, Ysildus wasn’t going to let the two of them go on their own and sit still.
He whined and pulled Alexa’s hair in his mouth. 

 

“Naughty puppy! I will scold you if you’re like this, Ysu!”

 

“Arf! Arf! Arf!”

 

Ysildus tapped Alexa’s shoulder with his front paw, as if he was quite upset about being scolded. 

 

“It seems that Ysildus and Terrun are still not close.” 

 

Is it because they don’t live in the same room? Alexa nodded her head as if she made up her mind. 

 

“Here, Terrun! Hug Ysu and go! You will get closer like that.”

 

Again with this situation. Ysildus and Terrun’s eyes met again. 

 

“Haa.”

 

“Krrrrng.”

 

“Alexa, let’s go together.”

 

Ysildus and Terrun followed after Alexa at once and walked beside her. 

 

“Hmm.
I think the girl took the money bag,” said one of the knights following Alexa.

 

In fact, they weren’t that unaware that Terrun had been pickpocketed.
She was only an 11-year-old child, and her skills of attacking Terrun were very poor.
They left her alone because they thought that Terrun would be able to avoid it. 

 

Looking at the direction where the pickpocketing little girl went, another knight said, “I also have eyes.
I saw it but I just let it go.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Because the lieutenant told me not to do anything that will surprise Miss Alexa.
He told me that if anything happens, deal with it as quietly as possible without letting Miss Alexa know about it.”

 

“Isn’t that too generous? It was a bag full of gold after all.”

 

The senior knight, who was looking at the junior knight, raised his hand to his junior.
