Of Steel and Roses: Silver-Haired Loli on a Rampage Chapter 195: The Old Perverts Who Can’t Understand Human Spe

A few minutes later.

Pavela finished listening to the Gatekeeper's "tearful complaint."

She blinked, looked at the black tower, and then turned to look at the Gatekeeper.

"So, what you're saying is—"

"There's a group of prisoners who took advantage of a lapse in my willpower to break out of the tower."

"But instead of leaving the tower, they spontaneously took over the duties of the jailers."

"And then, they completely refused to recognize you as the warden, beat you up, and threw you right out."

"And now, you can't even get into your own tower?"

The Gatekeeper's void form vibrated violently.

It was as if a sore spot had been poked.

"...Could you put it a bit more nicely?"

His voice sounded sowhat annoyed.

"What do you an 'thrown out'?"

"That was a strategic retreat."

"Do you understand what a strategic retreat is?"

"I get it, I get it."

Pavela nodded.

"It ans getting beaten black and blue and then scurrying away in disgrace."

"Right?"

"..."

The Gatekeeper fell silent.

His mass of void shrank slightly.

He looked like he was sulking.

Watching him like this, Pavela couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright."

"I'll stop teasing you."

"Back to the point, what kind of people are these escaped souls you're talking about?"

"A group of knights wearing uniform black knight armor," the Gatekeeper said gloomily.

"Every single one is at least a Sequence III Wayfarer of the Path of the Tower."

"They work with perfect coordination, like a long-trained army."

"Every attack is incredibly precise."

"Every defense is perfectly tid."

"And there are quite a few of them—at least dozens, maybe more."

Pavela stroked her chin.

Dozens of Wayfarers of the Path of the Tower at Sequence III or higher.

And wearing uniform armor.

These didn't seem like ordinary souls.

It sounded like so kind of knight order.

But then again, how did she have the souls of knights in dieval armor inside her head?

"Based on your description, they should belong to the sa organization?"

"Did you try communicating with their leader?"

The Gatekeeper's void form vibrated again.

"Of course I tried."

He said.

His voice was full of helplessness and frustration.

"But those old perverts don't listen to reason at all."

"The first ti I went in—"

"I just wanted to perform my duties as the Gatekeeper normally."

"To check on the situation inside the tower."

"The mont I walked through the door."

"Those guys rushed up without a word and pinned to the ground to beat ."

Pavela blinked.

"They wouldn't even let you speak?"

"Exactly."

The Gatekeeper's voice sounded exceptionally aggrieved.

"I didn't even finish my self-introduction."

"Before I was beaten."

"They beat until my form dissipated."

"Then I was thrown out like a dead dog."

He paused.

"The second ti, I got smart."

"I just shouted from the entrance."

"Saying I'm the Gatekeeper, and I'm here to maintain order in the ntal Space."

"And guess what happened?"

"What happened?"

Pavela asked.

"They rushed out and beat up."

The Gatekeeper said.

"And then threw even further away."

"They even warned —"

"Not to co near there again."

"They don't need there."

"If I go again, they'll break my legs."

Pavela was silent for a few seconds.

Then.

She laughed.

She laughed very happily.

"Hahahahaha—"

She laughed until she was doubled over.

"Getting beaten by the prisoners you manage."

"And being warned not to co near."

"That is absolutely gratifying!"

"Hahahaha—"

"...Could you have a little sympathy?"

The Gatekeeper's voice sounded even more aggrieved.

"I'm doing this to maintain your ntal Space."

"And I get beaten like this."

"Not only do you not comfort ."

"You even mock ."

"Sorry, sorry."

Pavela wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't usually laugh like this."

"Unless I can't help it."

She took a deep breath.

She tried to calm herself down.

"So now, what are they doing in the tower?"

"Maintaining order."

The Gatekeeper said.

"They've suppressed all the other souls trying to escape."

"And then they reorganized the internal structure of the tower."

"Now the inside of the tower is in perfect order."

"It's more orderly than when I was managing it."

Pavela raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Good my foot."

The Gatekeeper's voice suddenly beca agitated.

"That's my tower!"

"My territory!"

"And now it's been occupied by a group of prisoners!"

"I, the Gatekeeper, can't even get through the door!"

"What kind of sense does that make?"

Pavela shrugged.

"It makes quite a bit of sense to ."

"..."

The Gatekeeper fell silent again.

His mass ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) of void shrank another size.

He looked even more like he was sulking.

Watching him like this, Pavela couldn't help but laugh again.

But this ti she didn't laugh out loud.

The corners of her mouth just curled up slightly.

"Alright."

"I'll go take a look."

The Gatekeeper's void form imdiately expanded.

"Really?"

His voice sounded full of hope.

"You're really willing to go now?"

"Yes."

Pavela nodded.

"To be honest, after hearing your description, I feel like my own pain has lessened."

"Heroes who can help beat you up."

"How could I not go and see them?"

...

"By the way, do they have a na?"

"Let think... it seems they do. They call themselves the Paranov Guard Knights, and they swear loyalty to the 'Princess'."

"Princess? Which princess?"

"How should I know which princess it is?"
