The little girl that saw me on top of the tower called the guards inside the mansion, and I was immediately chased. It was a tough chase, some of the guards are shooting arrows at me and there are even some who used some magic to bring me down which made me really surprised as that was the first time I saw someone use magic.
[ sorry for that Haruto-kun... ] said Jack-san.
While being chased by the guards Jack-san suddenly came out of nowhere and stopped the guards.
It turns out that Jacked Jack-san is the owner of the Mansion and this is also the place that is where I'm supposed to go.
[ no no, it's okay... ] I replied to Jack-san who has an apologetic face with his mustache downward.
The fault is really mine this time so I don't want them apologizing to me. What I did was trespassing which is really wrong, so of course, someone will mistake me for a thief if they spotted me climbing on top of the tower of such a majestic Mansion.
[ say sorry Sofia. ] Jack-san said to his granddaughter standing beside him and in front of me.
[ I won't, it's his fault I mistook him for a kidnapper. ] said Sofia while turning her head at the opposite direction of Jack-san.
[ Sofia... ]
[ don't worry, it's really my fault. ]
[ haah... okay, let's just forget about this and move on. ]
[ I won't... and why did you invite a low life to your Mansion in the first place, Grandpa? ] Sofia-san said while looking at me with disgust.
[ uwahh... we-well, you see... ] Jack-san is clearly struggling to find his words. He's even rolling both his fingers against each other and he's also grinding his teeth.
[ Haruto-kun... you see this? this is why I called you... I can't handle my granddaughter alone and that's why I needed help... come on, help me here...! ] Jack-san suddenly came to my side whispering those words to my ears.
I never saw this side of Jacked Jack-san yet. He's obviously afraid of his own granddaughter.
[ umm... umm... well... Jack-san here called me here to... what is it again...? ] He looks desperate so I tried to help him out but I also can't seem to find any excuse I can make.
[ umm... well... I called him here to... to practice! yes! we're here to have an exhibition match! ]
...
[ wha-what!? ]
[ ri-right, Haruto-kun? ]
[ wow...? did boss really invited someone to fight with him? ]
[ now that I think about it, we haven't even got close to this guy when we're chasing him, so he must be strong... ] said the guards behind Sofia-san.
This dumb old man...! I tried to help him but he still betrayed me.
[ oho~? my Father told me that no one can match Granpa when it comes to magic, and father also told me that Grandpa is really skilled at using swords. ] said Sofia-san while making a scary expression on her face.
[ re-really...!? ]
I heard from Victor-san and Marinda-san that this guy is strong but is he really? I just can't seem to believe it.
[ and yet, you're here to have a match with him? is that really true? ] Sofia-san said again, turning her head towards me and look me directly in my eyes.
This girl is seriously dangerous... she's cute as heck but she's extremely dangerous...
[ hey, Jack-san...! what should we do here...!? we might end up fighting for real if this keeps up! can't you think of something that will get us out of this situation!? ] I turned to Jack-san and desperately asked him to stop this current situation while only whispering.
[ hmm... well, when I think about it... I would really like to test you out too... ] Jack-san said while stroking his chin.
[ ...wha-what!? ]
[ that's right Sofia! Haruto-kun was even the one who requested me to have a match with him. Isn't that right Haruto-kun? ] Jack-san said then he posed a Victory Pose.
[ what...? ]
[ oh come-on! you said you wanted to start at noon right? why don't we get inside first? ]
This dumb old man!!!
[ I don't like where this is going Jack-san! I should leave now! ] I tried to slowly walk away but Jack-san immediately dropped his arm on my shoulders to stop me from escaping.
[ don't worry you don't need to get properly dressed to get inside my mansion, so don't worry now and get inside. ]
[ that's not what I'm worried about! heck, it's not even close! ] I shouted to Jack-san.
[ let's get inside now, come-on, don't be shy. ]
[ fufufu... this would be interesting. ] said Sofia-san with her devilish smile.
