Volume 1 Chapter 8 (1/2)
Chapter 1 E 8 (Escape 4)
Let's turn back the time for a bit.
The injured person that have been taken to the medical office is actually Ryouma.
Of course, he holds a certain amount prospect of being a success.
Ryou judgment where the people that going to come inside won't be able to remain calm is correct.
He have no doubt that the soldiers will fall into stagnation if they do so.
And thanks to that, it would be remarkably disadvantageous if they know his face even after he successfully escapes.
Because Ryouma called Rolph's name, he unconsciously pulls down his guard, and decide to sent Ryouma to the medical office.
”Gu... Goho... Goho...”
Ryouma then displayed coughed violently.
”Oi! Carry this person to the medical office immediately!”
”Be patient, a little bit more! Are you listen?! we're about to arrive at the medical office! Don't lose your consciousness you hear? You will die if you do!”
The soldiers who carry Ryouma using stretchers encourage Ryouma.
Ryouma also desperately complains about the pain.
It's as if, a Hollywood actor pretending to be injured.
”Alright! We've arrived!”
The soldier immediately knocked on the wooden door after shouting such thing.
”Sensei! Open up, there's an emergency patient here!” <tln: yeap,=”” j.a.panese=”” call=”” a=”” doctor=”” ”sensei”=””>
After a few seconds, the door opens immediately from the inside.
It seems that he has gained a lot of experience as a doctor for many years. While talking, he was able to prepare for the treatment quickly.
”So? How's the condition of the patient?”
”Ha! It seems like the person is in a dangerous state. ”
”ーー. This looks quite severe, what had happened?”
The doctor approaches Ryouma while saying such words. With no warning...
The sword of Ryouma who stop acting, swoop over the doctor's neck.
Ryouma then jumps up from the bed quickly, and strike a nearby soldier who's standing still stunned cause of the sudden situation.
The sword cut the throat of the soldier who's unable to understand what was happening.
He seems to have thought that he should not fight alone and bring someone.
This is not an attack toward the soldier. It would be okay if he can disturb the soldier attempt to escape, that is what he had thought.
*Dosha*
Fortunately, the sheath hit the back of the soldier's knee, and he falls down after losing his balance.
As death come closer, the soldier tried to fend off Ryouma desperately. However, when Ryouma's thick right arm tightens up on his throat like a capstan, the soldier instantly stop moving.
Ryouma ask the soldier as calm as possible.
But, that is precisely why the soldier feels fear.
