Chapter 29 (2/2)

It took no effort at all to catch the child, and the guard hoisted him into the air by the arm.

“UWAHHHHHHHHH!” screamed the child.

“Is this kid r.e.t.a.r.ded?” scoffed the man, “Khanzar-sama, what should I do with ’em?”

After staring at the child for a few seconds, Khanzar replied without much interest,

“Make an example out of it. I don’t care if it dies. It’s a boy, so it wouldn’t make much anyway.”

“Understood. Hehe, don’t blame me if you die, brat. It’s your own fault.”

The guard raised a fist.

(Don’t mess with me…!)

Fii felt her body flus.h.i.+ng with heat.

And then found her body moving by itself. She moved right to the entrance to the room and jumped down without hesitation.

“Wha-, who-!?”

“Mn…?”

Khanzar raised a scream of surprise at the sudden intruder, but because Fii had appeared in the guard’s blindspot, he was slow to react.

Without drawing the sword that Galluzzi armed her with, she struck it against the guard with all her might.

He swayed, but didn’t collapse.

(It’s okay, I expected this!)

Fii held up the sword again.

In the match with Gorms, she realised her lack of strength. So she practised so that she could strike twice in quick succession.

“Ei!”

Although he withstood the first blow, the second knocked him out.

“W-, Who the h.e.l.l are… hebuh-!?”

Khanzar seemed to be saying something, but Fii simply swung the blunt weapon once again.

This time it only took one strike.

Although she managed to defeat the pair, there were now loud shouts from outside.

“I heard some weird noises!”

“That’s the room with the captives!”

The loud sounds of footsteps drew closer.

(Oh c.r.a.p…)

Fii quickly cut through the bindings on the captives.

“I’ve come to save you! Please help!”

She got everybody to move the drawers in front of the door to form a barricade.

“Oi, what the!?”

“f.u.c.k, it isn’t opening. Khanzar-sama!?”

The men banged on the door from outside.

“There’s something in front of the door!”

“Break the f.u.c.k through it!”

(Kuh, this isn’t good…)

Because the room was unused, the drawers were empty and not very heavy.

Everybody was now pus.h.i.+ng the door shut, but Fii was light, and the women and children were no better. Not only that, but because of their time in captivity, they were all feeling weak.

On the other hand, the force pus.h.i.+ng it open was getting stronger and stronger.

More and more people were pus.h.i.+ng from the outside.

At that time, Fii noticed a flute in her vision. It was the one that Crow had given her.

(Sorry, Captain! Crow-san! Please save me!)

Placing it into her mouth, she blew with all her might.
