Chapter 8 (2/2)
Panis asked
“Same reason as yours I was told there is an outsider, so I came to check”
Appearing Hiiro’s arrival was ie chief and he ca adventurer with his own eyes He seee adventurer
CRAAACK!
Suddenly the sound of wood breaking resounded Everyone present faced the origin of the sound taken aback The door of a house was burst opened and someone was thrown out
“Mick!”
The village chief widened his eyes and shouted The round and crouched Then two people appeared from the house, where he was thrown out from
One man was fat with a bald head, the other one slender with a spiky hairstyle like a broo down on Mick
“Keh! Try saying that again!”
The slender man, also qualified to be called spiky beanpole, scowled fiendish Next to hiuy took a bite out of a fruit that was probably from the store Hiiro named him bald chubby
Mick desperately pleaded They most likely told him to hand over the products for free and he refused to However, spiky beanpole showed an irritated vein on his forehead and kicked Mick’s face
Quite a lot of blood splashed around Seeing that, the villagers rushed over to hie chief
“Huuh? Look e have here, the chief Got so to say? Mh?”
Hiiro calster, no, delinquent
“M- More food”
Bald chubby tried to go back into the house while drooling, probably in search for more food
“Hey, Junior, give it a rest, we’re leaving”
“B- But I’ry”
“Tch Make it quick”
“Okay”
“Stop it already!”
Unable to watch any longer, the village chief shouted, but winced when spiky beanpole glared at him The others close by didn’t approach either, scared by spiky beanpole’s look of menace
(Looks like they’re being couys are beyond their power, not just the title deed)
The village didn’t have any capable people, so they didn’t resist as they would only get killed if they challenged them
(They could ask the aruys would just run aith the title deed then And there’s a fear for their revenge The best solution would be for someone to subdue them)
While Hiiro pondered like that, the boy next to hi hi about it
“No idea what you want, but this doesn’t concern me”
“Wha! And you still call yourself human!?”
“What? Do I look like a demon or what?”
“You do! Why aren’t you helping! As a fellow adventurer, you have to stop them!”
“…Listen, brat, I may be an adventurer, but I ain’t some advocate of justice Ask the Heroes if you want justice for free”
Hiiro said coave hier, it was no concern of his
“Forget it! In the end, all adventurer are like this!”
Saying so, the boy went straight for the two guys
“Ah, wait, Nies! Don’t go there!”
Panis tried to stop hiht Then Panis glared at Hiiro while grinding his teeth Still, he relaxed soon enough and sighed
“No, I get it This has nothing to do with you A Hero that works for people without charge like from fairytales does not exist”
“Mh, no idea if such a person exists, but at the very least, I’ for free”
Hiiro kept it to his as bothersome
“…For free”
“Huh? What?”
Panis suddenly leaked a voice, so Hiiro inadvertently asked back
“So it just… has to be paid?”
“…”
Hiiro got a bad feeling
“In that case, I will give you my finest weapon when you help us”
“…”
“Will you help us?”
“…”
Panis looked at him earnestly It was a pain and to be honest, it didn’t concern hi Just taking care of this scum for it was rather cheap
While thinking so, heinto his eyes without averting his gaze, they stared at each other for a while After a while, Hiiro sighed like being outlasted
“Fine I’ll lend a hand But keep your promise”
Panis’ face instantly brightened up, but turned glooain
“I, I know I asked you, but… are you strong?”
He asked while looking anxiously at Hiiro from head to toe
“Dunno But at least good enough to do so about them”
Hiiro said so by looking at the chubby & beanpole co open fronored that and swiftly went into action
Nies picked up a pebble froround and threw it at spiky beanpole It pleased hiht into the face, but needless to say, the other villagers all went pale
Spiky beanpole’s expression as he slowly looked at Nies spoke voluood as dead
Feeling his killing intent, Nies froze on the spot
“St- Stop it!”
The village chief stopped covering in front of Nies, but was sent flying with hard punch Then spiky beanpole drew the sword on his waist and pointed it at Nies Paralyzed by fear, Nies didn’t move an inch
“Brat, any last words?”
“D- Don‘t…”
Nies shook his head while shedding tears, but that didn’t stop spiky beanpole He s it down from there
WHOOOsh!+
Everyone gulped and closed their eyes They all thought Nies’ life was over noever!
“OWWWW!”
The one screa was pierced into his sword arm
Everyone looked dumbfounded at this scene A blade, yes, it was a blade His arm was undoubtedly pierced by a blade
But the length of it was clearly too long And they looked at the end of the blade, at the person, who performed the attack It was Okamura Hiiro
