Chapter 62 daily life and the hunt in Malrton 5 (1/2)
Mars finished cleaning up the corpses with his flame and looked over at Jean that was rubbing Hanna on the back and holding her hair while she was puking at the side off the road with a pale face
”good job Hanna”
Mars walked over and gave her a pat on the shoulder while Jean shoot her a glare from the side which he ignored and gave a glance at the only assassin that was still alive stuck to the wall
'hurry up dude...'
”d-did I do well Mars?”
Mars gave her another pat on the shoulder
”yeah you did well, way better than expected”
a little collar returned to Hanna's face as she gave a weak smile and passed out as Mars quickly caught her
”got you, sleep well”
Mars pulled her up in and carried her in his arms and gave a look to Jean that was still glaring at him
”what?”
Jean gave a sigh and looked away before she spotted something at make her grin and gave Mars a poke as she spoke in a sarcastic voice
”oh no! looks like you prisoner escaped”
Mars looked over and gave a sigh before he looked at Jean and spoke in a equally sarcastic voice
”oh no! whatever will we do, if only we had someone to follow him back to his hiding hole”
”you... nice one”
”did you just praise me?”
”nope”
Jean gave a huff and turned away
”well then let's put the princess back to her castle”
Mars carried Hanna back to the mansion while Jean followed and soon they reached the mansion where Mars handed Hanna to Jean as a thought popped up in his head as he called out to Jean
”hey Jean, come over here for a second”
”what?”
”just come here”
Jean walked closer to Mars while she carried Hanna in her arms where Mars reached up and patted her on the head
”good work”
Instantly a blush spread on Jean's face
”w-w-what are you doing!?”
”hmm? i'm praising you”
”s-stop that!”
”ouch, ouch! don't kick me!”
”...humph!”
Mars rubbed his sore shin while he watched Jean walk into the mansion and sat down next to the gate and waited for some time before Victoria appeared in front off him as she jumped out of a shadow
”did you find them?”
”yeah... but there's... a lot”
”a lot huh... well we need to hunt them down tonight since they saw Hanna and Jean... bedsides I have a date tomorrow... yeah let's do this now, lead the way”
Victoria stopped, sat down and tilted her head to the side before her horns flashed
”what's... a date?”
Mars paused
”well... it's when 2 people that might be romantically involved go out and have fun?”
”2 people... then... who are... you going... out with?”
”Elsa”
”...okay, follow... me”
Victoria ran off into the night while Mars followed after her though complex routes that gradually led out off the town center towards the wall and soon they arrived in area with a lot off storage buildings
”over...there”
Victoria pointed with her paw towards a storage building that looked kind off shoddy
”okay, let's go get this over with...”
Mars sneaked up to the door and found it unlocked and went into the building where a maze was formed by stacked wooden boxes
”be careful there might be traps...”
Mars drew his sword and led the way forwards down the path that had the most ware on the floor and soon spotted a thin wire that crossed the pathway
'that's one...'
Mars stopped and looked around the wooden boxes and crates before he looked up and saw a net filled with metal junk was suspended above the trigger to the trap
”watch out Victoria... see this wire?”
”yeah...?”
”it's a trap”
”...why did... you... do a... strange voice?”
