Chapter 09: Sword Encounter
He had extended the blade by writing “extend” on it, fully aware that it length was now roughly seven metre However, no one present understood what had happened in this bizarre scene
Hiiro reverted his sword by writing “original” The blade slipped out spiky beanpole’s arroaned
He dropped his sword froreat deal of sas accu on his face
“Stand back, brat”
“M- Mister… Wh- Why?”
“I get paid, so I’ll lend a hand”
When Hiiro said so bluntly, Nies h of relief
“Wh- Who are you, dude!?”
Putting up with the pain, spiky beanpole frantically shouted while opening his bloodshot eyes wide
“I don’t have to answer you See ya”
“Wha!?”
Hiiro leaped in with an incredible speed and spiky beanpole couldn’t react at all Then Hiiro slashed at him with his sword
“Take this”
SLAAAAsh!+
In one swing, the blade cut fro blood everywhere Like this, spiky beanpole got on his knee and collapsed onto the ground
“Im… possible…”
Everyone thought he was dead, but he was convulsing with twitches as he was still alive But it seemed like he completely lost consciousness Hereupon, bald chubby finally see and came out of the store
“Ah… What’s this? Why’s Brother on the ground?”
“Keep the questions to yourself”
Saying so, Hiiro once again leaped in towards hi his sword like before, but
CREAAAK!
he was stopped by a metallic sound
(da a chain mail!)
Although he had slashed hi cut flesh Instead the sensation of a metallic resistance remained in his hand
“M- My clothes How dare you!”
When bald chubby said so, the already torn clothes ripped sory over the clothes, but as he had figured, there was a chain mail underneath the clothes
Bald chubby drew the broadsword fro it with a buzz
“Mh ear”
With that in mind, Hiiro took some distance for now
“I, I’ll turn you into minced meeeaaat!”
“Shut up, pig Bring it on already”
“Grrrr!”
Bald chubby swung his ith all his ed it by squatting down and slashed at his legs without a ain
“Ohwears a full body armour? Impressive that he can move around”
Normally it would be too heavy to even walk around But while his ed to th
“But there’s no ht like this too”
While saying so, Hiiro put away his sword and toyed with his opponent byaround swiftly
“U- Uh, where? Where’s he?”
With his characteristic speed, Hiiro had gone around to his back The opponent was still looking around restlessly in search for him
Concentrating ertip, he then wrote a word onto bald chubby’s back
After quickly taking his distance, he recited activate in his ht red in the face and started to roll around on the ground
“H- Ho- Hooot!? Wh- What’s this! Why’s it so hot!?”
He currently felt like being grilled by a fire Moreover, his whole body was hot, not just his back
It was a sensation like being enveloped by fla a human could endure The ritten on the back was “heat” It wasn’t on the level of hot water as it even melted the chains in the air
The villagers were dumbfounded at the suddenly collapse of bald chubby
“Okay, all done”
Looking down on bald chubby, Hiiro showed a faint smile
“Guh… H… Hot… What did… you do…?”
“Who knows? You’ll never find out, chubby”
He hit hi that
“Gueh!”
Bald chubby lost his consciousness while his body smoked In that moment, Hiiro heard a familiar sound in his head
(Oh, even these guys give EXP?)
Then he went over to spiky beanpole and searched his pockets
“Ah, found it Here”
Saying so, he passed it to the village chief
“Don’t coain”
It was the village’s title deed
“And call the aruys away They won’t wake up for a while, but properly tie them up”
“Uh- Uhm…”
The village chief had no clue as going on, gradually caught onto the current situation and looked at the defeated two oncethen
“O- Ohh…”
And then…
“YAAAAY!”
The overwhelers reached his ears Hiiro mumbled “So noisy” with one eye closed, but no one heard him
The village chief took his hand and thanked him in tears
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“S- Sure”
A bit bewildered, he answered There Panis came over as well
“Y- You are quite an remarkable adventurer”
“No clue Aren’t these two just weak?”
“No, no, there are known as the ‘Harios Brothers’ and are quite skilled adventurers Although notorious”
He nodded short To be honest, he wasn’t interested in their life story Then he suddenly felt a light hit on his bottom On a look, there stood Nies
“Man! If you’re that strong, you could helped us fro!”
“Hey, Nies!”
The village chief rebuked him, but in the next mohtly nudged Nies’ head with a thump
“O! What’cha doing!”
“I told you, I’m no Hero I don’t help people for free The old man requested it this time with a reward, so I helped”
“Wha…”
“Anyway, it was one-ti”
“Wha!?”
Ignoring the pouting Nies, Hiiro turned the topic to Panis Needless to say, it was about the reward
“Now then, can I look around your store?”
“Y- Yeah, sure”
Panis showed an elared at Hiiro with teary eyes and his cheeks puffed out The village chief even offered to reladly accepted it
After that, he headed towards Panis’ shop, but every tier, he was thanked Earlier he wasn’t welcomed, but noas like a VIP
(So self-interested)
