Chapter 45 (1/2)

We headed towards a nearby forest following Orlando’s scent. As we got near the location Meru was pointed at, I can see Orlando had pulled out his sword in a slightly open place. He was confronted with around 10 bandits. The biggest guy among the bandits held a little girl while pressed the blade of his axe at her neck.

It seems they are using a hostage to seal Orlando's movement. On Orlando’s left shoulder there was a cut down to his back with a little blood flowing. Perhaps, he was caught in a surprise attack from a bandit who went with him. For now, it was good that nothing serious happened to him. Orlando who noticed me, asked about the situation.

[Wazu!! What are you doing here?] (Orlando)

[What... I just came to check] (Wazu)

[Who are you bastard?]

[Ah! He was the idiot’s friend who stayed behind at the village]

One of the bandits called the Giant who took the girl hostage as a boss, and told him about me. However, don’t call my friend an idiot or.... I’ll kill you.

[Fuu~.... so, you are the leader of  this Brother something right?] (Wazu)

[It’s Digondo Brothers!!]

[Bastard, you don’t know about this Digo-sama the leader of Digondo Brothers?] (Digo)

The surrounding bandits started ranting.

[Oh, I heard it earlier. The bandits who were in a village carefully told me that. Well, right now they were buried in the ground though] (Wazu)

[ [ [ ..?.. ] ] ]

The bandits looked at me as if didn’t understand what I was talking about. On the other side, Orlando had a bitter smile while imagining their situation. It was hard work you know? To bury all of them.

[I don't understand what you are talking about.... forget it, I can confirm it later. Neither of you don’t dare to move  hands or legs from where you stand] (Digo)

The Giant pressed his axe to the girl he was holding. The girl shed tears in her eyes, she couldn’t scream or move because of fear. I call out to Orlando.

[Orlando, can you take care the big man? It’s all right, your power is enough. Just think about it as practice] (Wazu)

[.....All right!!] (Orlando)

[Bastard, if you dare to move even a little----] (Gado)

I dissappeared from the place at the same time as Orlando nodded.

[I can’t guarantee the girls safety.... this girl sa....] (Gado)

The man seeing his own hands grabbing thin air. Then he look at me holding the girl with a surprised expression.

[Wha... how the hell.... what kind of skill is this....?] (Gado)

I just move a bit seriously though. The girl who didn't  understand the situation remained solid. I held the girl up and stroking her back to calm her.
