Chapter 9 (2/2)
Did I walk for one or two hours… when I h the forest, I finally found a road made of soil without any tree around
While I'o near it
――――――around the place near the road, a woman's scream suddenly resounded in the area
”Kyaaaaaa!!” (???)
”!?” (Setsu)
I hide my body behind a tree by the ti
――――――over there?
Towards the road that I see… one carriage falls down there
Several men dressed similar to me fall down, their body covered in blood
Ugh…there's even freshly-severed head…
Even though I didn't kill, I've seen a lot of corpses that other people killed, so I had a bit of resistance… but I' severed head It stillat the time I'm in japan
While I was preoccupied with the corpses, several ar voice
”Ora oraa! Take it quickly, you lot!!” (???)
”Stuff all the valuables in the bag!” (???)
”Oi, what should we do with this girl? She still a kid but her look is pretty good” (???)
”Please…stop…” (girl)
I see, bandits huh? 5 people… that’s a very radical bandits, the band of bandits that I used to know avoid killing and work more efficiently you know?
Although the irl?
”Let's sell her! Some weird noble somewhere would buy her” (Bandit A)
”That's right!” (Bandit B)
”Then we're really in luck! For us to have couards!” (Bandit C)
”Please… Please return oods…” (Girl)
”Tch! Shut up!” (Bandit)
”Ouch!” (Girl)
――――――I'm shocked, that kid is a merchant?
Although the girl clung to the foot of the bandit telling the
”Oi! Don’t injure her from now on since she's a product too!!”
”Cheh! That girl is the one that ca me with her hand!”
Although I really want to jump in on this, I think about it a little bit
The other party is such a troublesome fellow…or rather, fro with the other party is going to be a pain too…
”――――――But I can't really call irl here…” (Setsu)
It's true that it's a pain in the ass, but
”My lunch would taste like shi+t if I didn't help out here!” (Setsu)
It can't be helped, it would leave a bad aftertaste if I didn't help I'll keep on regretting for having not done anything
I dash out from the shadow of the tree, and run towards the bandits
There's a great distance, but I arrived there in no tiing my fist
”Oraa!” (Setsu)
”Guh!?” (Bandit A)
It's already too late when he noticed me, my fist had already hit his back
The bandit got bloay in the shape of a shriround
Still, they're weak… I didn't even used ood huh
”Please don't worry, your spine is safe and sound” (Setsu)
I said that to the bandit that is groaning while lying on the ground Well he probably won’t be able to move for a while die to the pain
”What was that!?” (Bandit B)
”You bastard!!” (Bandit C)
Oops…
As expected the bandits who noticed get ready for battle
The tho are near pull out their knife, and threw themselves at me at the same time
”You didn't even think about the combination…” (Setsu)
The two knives just thrust out straight foolishly, so I drops it by beating their wrist before it reached my body
Before the knife falls on the ground, I deliver a blow to each of their abdo both of my arms
”cough!” (Bandit B)
”Guh…” (Bandit C)
”Alright, now for the two at the back~” (Setsu)
The tho receivedtrouble to breathe, so I go pay a visit to the re two
”damn!!Let’s scram!!” (Bandit D)
”R-run!! What's with this guy!!?” (Bandit E)
The reed that they're no match for me, so they turn their back and start to run into the forest Their judge that's not bad
However
”Naive, you want to escape?” (Setsu)
I put so bandits and then kicked another one towards the tho are trying to run away
”What!? Stop screwing wit―――――guoh!?” (Bandit D)
”Gyaaah!!” (Bandit E)
”…and that's a goal” (Setsu)
I see their figures colliding and rolling in the forest, and I couldn't hide hter
Although I tried going forward towards theround in front of me, and when I looked under, there's the first bandit that I knocked off, still lying on the ground on his stomach
”Oops, alot about you♪” (Setsu)
I grab the back of his hair, and lift hi it
Now then, allow me to play a bit more
When I went towards where the others had fallen, the two bandits who tried to escape before let out a smalls scream and inched back
Ohho~ They got real scared now
”Hii`…”
”P-please wait… I'll give back the luggage…P-please spare me…”
The two people that I kicked flying had already fainted, they doesn’t move an inch no matter what I do, so I ready my fist for the rest
”P-please…forgive me”
”If you accept what the girls said just noouldn't have poked my head into this…Yeah, be at ease as I won’t kill you” (Setsu)
The h of relief when I said that
If a person who kneell sees this, they would have likely said that I would have leave therief state」 What a bunch of rude people
”Y-you'll really overlook it?” (Bandit)
”My appetite will sharply decrease if I did that to you” (Setsu)
I won't allow any grudge over food…It is one of the major desires of human after all
[TN: Sorry, can't make this one very well]
―――――N? It's not really a grudge over food? Don't sweat the details
These guys are like that too… I look at their face You think I'll have an appetite looking at you!!?
Even if I said that…as expected in this case it's a bit too much
”But still, as a man I really hate a man who raise his hand on a woman” (Setsu)
The bandit's face turn blue real fast
―――――N? You guys used violence too right? Since if it was Eruka, you'll be out long ago
”―――――so with that, let’s have a get together as a villain” (Setsu)
N? Which one is the bad guy?
―――――Who knows?
At the very least I am not a hero
”Please be at ease, I'll only beat you to point that you're almost dead” (Setsu)
―――――There's already no consideration for the bandits when I said that
My thirst for blood is a bit tooa deep blue face…
”That's enough I guess” (Setsu)
I get the 5 bandits, and bind the rope that I took out fro
Well, if they're lucky soht helped them
When I return to the road, the previous girl rushed to me
”U-u me!” (Girl)
She's wearing a light blue dress, the hair that have some sands attached is a little black, with a short forelock hair at the front Her face is suess she's around 12-15? People don’t really work as a e
”N, yeah it's fine Since I was nearby when they attacked after all By the way, there's so I want to ask you” (Setsu)
Even if I said that, when I' the thief, that's when it hit me that I should have asked them the way to the port town
”Fue? What do you want to hear?” (Girl)
”Yeah, I wanna go to port town Do you know the way?” (Setsu)
”I-is that so!? I-I' that way too! If it’s there I know the way!” (Girl)
Ooh! Alright, with this I'er lost
”That's great Please tell me at once!” (Setsu)
”U-uh I could tell you the way…” (Girl)
…What? Even though I really want you to tell me the way quickly…
”W-will you please be my escort…?” (Girl)
”――――――Huh?” (Setsu)
