Volume 2 - Chapter 20 – PEERLESS REIKO (1/2)

「You are Beana right?」

A man who seemed to be the leader of the private army.

「Y-Yes, I am」

Beana answered with a pale face.

「I see. I’ll have you come with us」

「Wait. You’re taking her without a reason?」

Saying that Jin took a step forward, however the leader of the private army faced his subordinates and jerked his chin.

Two of the subordinates who saw that pushed Jin aside and seized both of Beana’s arms.

「W-What are you doing!」

She said trying to shake them off, but it wasn’t difficult to handle Beana’s meager strength. Jin,

「Let her go!」

Said that, trying to stop the soldiers but,

「Annoying」

Shaking him off like an insect, he swung his hand and hit Jin’s face.

「Ouuch」

「!!!」

At that moment, a gust of wind blew.

The name of that wind was called Reiko.

「Kyaaa!」

「Uwoah!?」

Beana and the two soldiers that seized Beana’s arms flew into the air. The height was actually 5 metres.

Being hurled up so high, the soldiers couldn’t help letting go of Beana. Though they knew it was useless, they frantically swung theirs hands, pointlessly struggling to somehow fix their posture.

Then, Reiko took a single jump, catching the freed Beana in a princess carry and safely landing on the ground. Behind them, the two soldiers who couldn’t fly hit the ground and fainted. Since they landed on their back, their necks didn’t seem to be broken.

「T-Thank you」

Beana said her thanks in a trembling voice, however Reiko calmly said,

「I didn’t do it to help you. It was because I couldn’t forgive the man who hit father. Helping you was just incidental」

Because of that statement, Beana’s face slightly stiffened.

「Aaah, we’ve done it now」

Jin looked up at the sky instinctively.

「B-Bastard, who are you!」

The leader of the private army shouted.

「Aaah, could you go guys go back?」

Hearing Jin say that, the leader to his subordinates,

「Besides Beana, it doesn’t matter if we cut down the others!」

Issued that command.

（Ah, it’s over）

Jin heaved a sigh inwardly.

On the other hand, Beana who had taken refuge a little bit away watched with a pale face unable to say anything.

And then eight soldiers went to attack Reiko, facing her without fear.

「What’s with this brat?」

The soldiers felt the Reiko who was slowly walking to them was an eerie person, so they stopped running and waited.

Reiko took another step, instantly closing the distance and appearing before a soldier.

「Uwoah」

The soldier was on the ground before he knew what had happened.

The soldiers, as if a curse was dispelled,

「This damn brat!」

「Take this!」

While shouting those words, they slashed at Reiko.
