Well, For more info of more chapters and crap....look in the status update which I will post in 15 mins. I am typing it after all right now.....I got this chapter late, due to oversleeping. This chapter seems good.
Chapter 17 Part 2
From the conclusion, it would have been better to say that the fight was one-sided only.
Let it be 10 or 40 of them, bluntly speaking, it didn’t made much difference to . Just the ti taken to break them would increase.
I even had completed the training for fighting while protecting soone when I went to subjugate thieves under the supervision of mom.
The contents were simple.
I had to fight against several thieves while protecting the powerless girl......acting mom.
If, I had made a mistake and let an attack land on her, then she would’ve kicked and killed that thief hard. I would pass if the number of people taken down by mom were 0......I had thought of doing that, but,
Sowhere along the way, it was discovered that mom was more dangerous than and then nobody even ca near us. ......Well, it happens.
The reason it still ended up as 0 person getting killed by mom was because even if others attack were to hit mom it won’t even itch due to her enhanced body and defence power.
I tried to protect Elk using that experience, but it turned out to be more easy than what I had imagined.
Well the fighting experience of the n was low, but what helped more was that Elk kept up with my pace by herself.
Whenever I gave a roundhouse and rotated my body for it, she moved to the place with no enemies.
She was slipping through attacks, without losing much power and was able to keep up with .
Sotis, she sensed the enemies approaching from my back, she would kick them, cut at them and break their bones. This might be little rude, but it did surprise .
No, well her body had been enhanced, but still it was really a surprise to see her refined movents.
Her moves were sharp and refined along and it seed like her situation assessnt powers are really good.
Maybe, she has a talent in this sort of fighting style......?
Anyhow, she fought like that......to not narrow her aim, she jumped, rolled on ground, rotated, she showed flashy but precise movents and fought with .
Though it might be singing our own praises, but I still think that our fighting style was vivid and elegant dancing fighting style? maybe.
More briefly, it was like the SFX effects going along with the moves of a Hero like character.
Still with all this and my reviews on this, there were unnecessary movents compared to when normally fighting.
Thanks to the low experience of the n, it helped the on-the-spot-made fighting style, anyhow, all right in the end.
At that pace, the number of people around us started to go down gradually.
They ca at us even after seeing the scene of their other allies being mowed down, but in the end they too joined their friends group.
The wastelands which was filled with the bellows of thieves with bad countenance started to quiet down.
There was no longer anyone with a calm and composed posture, all of their faces turned pale seeing the scene of their friends falling down due to flashy and nacing Taijutsu......
“Owaa!?”
“Nh, looks like it is impossible to run on walls?”
“If you know it, then don’t do it!”
I ran on the wall of the ruined buildings for so reason that I forgot while I dodged the attacks.
But, it really was too much. To cover it up, we slided with our hands joined and thanks to that we were able to fight without twisting our hands. [ET: Even I couldn’t get the aning of the sentence.]
And while ti I was kicking a person in front of , one person from behind attacked . I gave him an elbow blow and finished him with a roundhouse kick.
Ah, these guys have fighting experience. No, just surrounding us from both sides.
“......It seems like, strangely, my movents have gotten better......I don’t know exactly why. It’s my first ti feeling this”
“? Well, I am making it possible, though”
“No, not that. Well, my physical abilities have increased, but for so reason I can see from where the attacks are coming, more than anything......I can sohow know how you are going to move.”
“......Eh? Elk too?”
“Eh?”
Well, it’s the sa for .
For so ti, I can sohow know how Elk is going to move even if I don’t look at her.
That’s why I’m leaving the attack and evasion to Elk and I only follow-up when it’s a dangerous ti. While keeping in mind that our hands remain joined.
Now that I think about it, Elk......is fighting as equals to the people of sa or higher rank. It seems strange sohow.
And even though without seeing her, I was able to assess her movents. Just what is this situation......?
“Maybe, we both are compatible?”
“We are quite a dangerous combination then......whoops!”
One more person went down by Elk’s knife while evading the person’s attack.
Intentionally or not, but we hadn’t hit any vitals. There were no dead till now.
But, in case of Elk, she was using knife, therefore there were so who were in really bad state and will die if not treated.
I was also holding back, so I hadn’t killed anyone, but I had been moving to protect Elk, so I had been using more power than ever I had against human beings.
Most probably, there were so with major fractures......well, not like I cared.
......While I was thinking that, even before I knew it,
“Ah, looks like it will be over soon, what you gonna do? Err, Leader-san?”
All had been beaten up badly and now only the leader man was left. Quite cliché.
He had lost his calm and composed posture, his face had turned pale, it looked like he would fall down by himself.
“......! Impossible......I had dozens of n gathered......”
“A cliché line you said there. Err, Elk what should we do at this point? Will it be good to just take the promissory note, tear it off and throw it?”
“You’re right, but you can’t tear and throw it. It is an official docunt after all. Along with that truth, we just need to report to guard about their and『Malras Association』’s relation with kidnapper, everything will be over then. ......as for testimony, I will do it.”
The mont Elk said so, the man’s face paled further.
It seed like, the things Elk said will be dangerous for them.
“I was a fool to think everything will be over by my sacrifice. If were going to do sothing, then it should be done thoroughly. I thought it would be bad if the association had links in the dark areas......from that complexion, it seems like I’m not wrong.”
“Will it be okay with your testimony only?”
“If it is less, then here are so lying on ground for helping. They’re not the people who are loyal to their employer.”
Near our foots were, the fainted and near-dying mixed group of kidnappers and money lenders etc.
Surely they seed like fools who were hired with money. They always knew that they would get punishnt soti and so tried to take even 1 more person with them. Their employer surely wouldn’t try to save them intentionally.
“Eh, Elk?! If you tried it then you will to be captured for sa cri! If we tell anyone about you supporting the kidnappers, you’ll be expelled from guild and either sent to jail or sold off as a criminal slave......”
“Just like I wanted. I already had the determination to go for a hell tour. And, now that I can take you people too, I will happily give my testimony or anything.”
“W,Wait! Don’t be rash, let’s discuss first......T,That’s right! You want this right!”
The man took out a single paper from his bosom.
Elk’s eyes widened after seeing it. I tried to see what it was that caused Elk to be surprised, it was the......『Promissory Note』?
Moreover, in the Na column was『Elk Caucus』written. Is this of Elk’s debt?
The man took out a seal-like object from the sa bag, and pressed it against the promissory note.
Upon looking at it,
“......What is this『Invalid』thing?”(Minato)
“! By any chance, is this the invalid seal used at the ti of cancelling a contract!?”(Elk)
“T,That’s right! W,With this Elk, you’re debt is now as if it didn’t exist! It’s good now, right? Please, don’t make it more hard for !”
Err, can soone explain?
“......It can cancel a comrcial contract upon the agreent of both parties, or for so major reason from one party. The invalid seal is one way of many thods to cancel a contract.”
“It sounds like a troubleso and complicated talk, in simple words, that seal cleared Elk’s debts?”
“Well, in simple words”
According to Elk, in the contents of contract, there was a part saying that the creditors (them) can at anyti cancel the contract without the debtor’s (Elk) consent.
Most probably, they had made such point for so evil business, but this ti they were using it to clear the debt.
That seal was sothing that only top echelons of the association carried, and the man always has road here and there while carrying it. This ti, the seal actually had a aning unlike the evil-sched sealing.
In other words, though there were so impurities in the deal, but Elk’s debt at that mont was completely cleared.
Elk confird it with a nod.
It seed like she had done a lot of studying for these things, therefore, it was fine to leave it to her.
The man pleaded to us while groveling miserably to let him go, now that everything was fine.
I sent a glance to Elk asking what to do, ca back was a glance only.
......Yeah, got it.
I understood her intentions with just that much.
“......Don’t try to co near ever, no rather, don’t even be where I would be”
“Is that she says”
“Eh......! Thank ya! You really saved !”
We both turned back, not giving even a glance even after hearing a crying voice.
Of course, we took the promissory note. If we had that, then Elk was a free woman.
Even if soone said sothing later, she would be able to deal with it. It seed like the forgery of both promissory note and seal was impossible.
And, suddenly I felt the man standing behind us silently and sighing with relief.
“You kids are......just easy to fool!!”
“Don’t steal my line”
SFX: ――Bakii
“GuGoo!?”
The man who attacked at us from behind ard with a knife......danced in air, after getting hit by my electrified roundhouse kick.
And he disappeared inside the window of the ruined building, on which I tried to run so ti before.
Like hell......I will let him go. If I leave you, then Elk would be fine, but other people would cry in her place in future.
We acted a bit and showed him that we had our guards down while I was getting prepared to strike with fists when he attacked.(It was Kick though)
The probability of him fainting down was......not like I cared and not like I even looked.
At the very least, I kicked him with quite a lot of power and voltage. So he won’t be able to move for a long ti with his broken and burned muscles. It might be his most serious injury in his entire lifeti.
With this everything was over.
“And, What are you going to do, Elk?”
“......Just like I said. I will report each and every work they had done. Even if I get accused due to it. ......That will be my decision.”
“You’re......serious about it”
“Yeah. Sorry Minato, I got you involved in my troubles......so till the end, I was being protected by you.”
“I’m not worrying about it at all. I myself, personally like Elk. It was quite fun to roam in the labyrinth and make fuss while rampaging inside there.”
“It was only you who made fuss and went on a rampage!”
Elk said as she looked at the promissory note in her hands.
Right now it was a scrap of paper with no restriction ability. But it still could be used a piece of evidence.
It was a paper that would be an evidence which would condemn her to jail, but Elk still looked at it as a precious item which she got back.
......She wouldn’t change her decision, no matter what I say.
“It’s unfortunate—- I was thinking of making a pair with Elk”
I had heard from mom.
The occupation called adventurers not only fought against monsters and demons but also against fellow humans.
Let it be going in Danger Area or going on a journey, an adventurer would sooner or later definitely need a friend who would accompany him/her.
It was not difficult to find a person to accompany yourself with for one or two tis, but it was difficult to find a person who would, to the last end, accompany you.
That was true, after all it was impossible to understand soone else’s mind 100%.
For that reason, I seriously wanted Elk.
Surely there weren’t many people who didn’t run from their sins but bear them and lived while repenting for them.
“......Stop jesting. You will sooner or later et more better people than . ......It’s better if you don’t get involved with a girl like ever again.”
She revealed a transient pretty smile.
Pathetic of , I couldn’t find any words to return.
“Well, I will be able to take many of the evil people with in this way. But, it is regrettable that even then I wouldn’t be able to deal a blow to Malras Association.”
“What is that『Malras Association』? It sounds like a big company or sothing of sort”
“Yeah, you don’t know about it. It’s is the most influential trading association here, even within the country it is one of the leading associations. Well, I don’t know if they are involved in this case or not. The only thing I can do is, try to take as more evil people with and pray that soone like is not born again in this city......”
“Ara, in that case you don’t have to worry? It will be over soon enough after all.”(???)
““!!?””
Suddenly a new voice resounded. Eh, What!?
Instinctively, Elk and I looked the place where the voice ca from.
There a single girl was standing.
She had cream-colored long hair which run down till her waist.
Her looks are rather childish, it can be said『Cute』instead of『Beautiful』. Her age was more than that of and Elk. Sowhere around the twenties.
She was wearing a spacious and wavy kimono like cloth and a sandal which closely resembled the japanese sandals. It is like the clothes of soone who half-assedly tried to make western-clothes in japanese styled clothes, sowhere along the lines.
The thing which was more impactful, was......the cream-colored bouncy『Ears』.
Cat Ears? no, they seem more like......fox?
When I look carefully at her, I found a fox tail growing from her waist. Beast person??
I couldn’t feel any bloodlust from that gentle-faced person. I could only see her looking at us while she grinned.
But......I couldn’t be careless.
After all, I was not able to sense her when she ca near us. Even with my hearing.
......Clearly, she ain’t any ordinary person.
“Yeah, Yeah. Remain right there. You don’t have to be on guard that much, I’m not thinking about any dangerous thing”
Just why is she speaking in Kansai Dialect? What is wrong with this world?
That person, ginned even while knowing we were sending eyes filled with carefulness and guard.
“Ah, sorry. I ca out and didn’t even introduce myself. I’m Noel Co Malras. I’m the manager of that Malras Association you guys were talking about just before. Nice to et you♪”
She introduced herself, as if natural.
