Vol 2 Chapter 11 (1/2)
One Problem
The winner was clear
Eight were lying on the ground, there were still ten or so standing, but they were just standing If not for their fear and difference to Iron Gauntlet, they would have forfeited long ago
Iron Gauntlet regained his breath, and i loudly – He wasn’t afraid, since there was a large croatching, fighting was one thing, but killing was another ether
“damn you to hellIron Bucket, ould hide behind a helmet all day unless they’re a criminal!? Take off your hel behind a shell not daring to show your face, you still call yourself a man?”
The knight frowned, this is bad
The ‘Mercenary’s Horey area, even without real proof, as long as someone reports it, the sheriff would use the chance to do a search If that happened, he would have to leave Elvira
–But, if he were to leave, where would he go?
The elf walked up to Iron Gauntlet’s side, glaring at him coldly
“Twenty against one, yet you still can’t admit defeat, and you would call yourself a man?”
“Spread your legs and I’ll show you if I’m – AH! AAHHHHHH — –“
The elf lifted his foot, and kicked hard at Iron Gauntlet’s lower half(1)
“I don’t knohether you’re a man or not before, but you certainly wouldn’t be in the future” In Iron Gauntlets agonized screams, the elf said expressionlessly, “how does it feel not to be able to cry?”
The watching hed, some even cheered and clapped
Ale Troop was paler than the next, so, started to leave still in that pose
“They won’t go report it,” the elf left the already half conscious Iron Gauntlet, walking to the knight’s side, he said quietly, “they don’t have that courage anymore”
The knight didn’t reply, because the moment he opened his
Until he saw the elf topple over with no warning at all, the joy in his heart was suddenly replaced by fear
“You—“ the knight reached out to steady him, “are injured?”
“Not fro his eyes, “it was Daniel I said before… I could only hold for a minute, it’s now a minute”
The elf’s face hite, his chest rising rapidly, though he’s exhausted his strength, there was no sweat Even if he couldn’t feel the temperatures with under his ar a high fever
Also, the elf had been hiding his bandaged left hand all along, now the blood stain was spreading rapidly
The knight realized that he had rave mistake
It wasn’t that the elf chose not to respond to the taunts, but that he could only stay silent
I should have known, if possible, he would never have ignored it
He wasn’t even able to use a bow, and I brought him into this with my hot headed selfishness
“Sorry Cain,” the elf said softly, “can you help me to my room?”
—You’re not the one who should say sorry
As if soht couldn’t say anything
Finally he just nodded, as if treating a fragile object, he carefully picked the elf up, walking into through the main doors
“Please don’t do that…” the elf was at a loss, his eyes widening
The knight ignored his protests, silently stepping on to the second floor landing
A door opened down the hall, a red haired young rogue caainst the archer White’s shoulder Froonized wails woke thenorant of what just happened down stairs
“Oh, princess carry, very ro
“I told you,” waiting for them to pass, the elf said quietly, “this pose is like you’re carrying an unconscious girl”
“Nonsense” The knight said, “should I have carried you under my arm?”
“… I can walk on my own”
The knight snorted behind the aret well”
The elf’s lips lifted in a small smile, “thank you”
“For what,” the knight replied with exasperation, “for al you killed?”
“I don’t think it would be that easy” The elf said, “Anyways… Ah, we’ve arrived Please let me down”
“Do you need a healer?”
