Volu 1 Chapter 17 (Rescue) 2
Translator: HASUTSUKI, Editor: Thorrium.
Ryouma was on the south side of the forest, around 10 ters away from where the n and the two young girls could be seen.
Because of the trees covering him, the n did not see Ryouma.
(Those bastards are they going to rape those girls in the middle of a highway like this?)
Ryouma had thought that they would move to a different location, however they seed to intend on doing it in the middle of the highway.
Although ti has passed considerably since they raided the carriage, they didnt show any concerns at all.
Even if this is a highway that passed through a forest, it was abnormal to see soone being so confident. Ryouma could only assu that they were abnormal.
(Just like beasts)
Ryouma felt disgusted by them, and felt uncomfortable with the situation however he shook off those thoughts, and Ryouma waited patiently, while hiding his furious anger.
At that ti
Alright then. Its decided! What happens here will be a secret. After all, if the boss were to find out what had happened here, everyone will get killed!
The ns imdiately nodded their heads at Gates words.
Alright. Let us start by violating the blonde first! The man who held the blonde haired girl said so.
Ill go with the silver haired!
The n began to say anything they wanted.
Oi? Gates what should we do?
Aan? Why not let them do whatever they want? As long I am getting the first go with this silver haired, I dont care about the rest.
Ah! Gates. How many selfish things are you going to say! Its obvious that I should be the first to go with the silver haired one!
Maybe because theyre craved for won so much, they needed to perform such ugly argunt first to decided who would get their turns first.
Oi! The last one to have his turn, you need to watch the surrounding! It seems like the guild currently organized a task force, although Im not worried since the Imperial army has not made their move yet, but there might be soone coming, so keep your watch properly until its your turn!
And you, you hold the girl arms down properly!
The n obeyed Gates order.
(Is that guy the boss of the group? Hmm its about a ti)
He started to tighten his hold on the chakrams.
Alright!
Gates dropped his pants in order to take out his penis.
(Now! Die!)
The instant the n pinned down the girl, the chakram flew from Ryomas hand toward the man called Gates.
Guah!
The chakram that Ryouma threw struck the back of Gates head and he fall over imdiately.
While keeping attention, Ryouma jumped out of the forest while throwing the second and third chakram.
He aid at the man who held down the girls arm.
Guaaa!
Gaaaah!
The second chakram struck one of the mans throat, and the third chakram struck in between a third mans eyebrows.
However the fourth chakram missed its target and flew onward until it hit a tree
(Four more people.)
Theres a reason why Ryouma did not make any move, until the mont the girls were about to get violated, was because he waited for his opponents to drop their guard.
When a man tries to violate a woman, they would have to put down their pants.
And in the case of when they use clothes with the weapon on their waist, they would have to take down their weapon as well.
Since Ryouma has to win no matter what, he did not think about the girls heart or mind getting wounded, and eventually he had to wait right until they were about to get violated.
However, the result of the surprise attack was satisfying.
Since the man nad Gates was the head of the group, and the first one to get killed, the rest were unable to cooperate with each other.
The two that tried to violate the girls had removed their pants and weapon belt. Thus it was impossible for them to imdiately take a battle stance.
As theres quite a considerable distance from the person who kept watch, Ryouma decided to attack the n who held down the girls.
What? What happen?
The man who watched over the highway noticed the commotion and imdiately returned.
You moron, where the fuck are you looking while being on watch!? We are under attack!
The thief who shouted had his eyes clouded with panic and anger. Who the fuck are you?!
Yeah dont fuck with us! Dont you know the na of [Red Moon group]?! Another shouted.
Ryouma approaches the girls while ignoring the n who was running toward him in anger.
You bastard! Do you want to die!
The man who avoided the 4th chakram stopped holding the girl and pull out his sword.
He then swung his sword downward from above.
Ryouma sword crashed midway with the sword that cos from above.
*Clank*
The sounds of iron clashing with each other resounded, and sparks scattered.
Between the sword that coming down and the sword that was raised to block the stroke. The power of the sword that ca would normally have made him win over the attempt at blocking.
However, what the man aid for was Ryoumas head, while Ryouma aid for the sword itself.
Although it didnt allow Ryouma to disable the others sword, it enabled him to push the other a little back.
*Gush*
A dull sound resounded, eerily similar to the sound coming from smashing a waterlon. Ryoumas sword had smashed the mans head in.
(Three people left!)
However, by now, the effect of a surprise attack had ended. The other three people who previously stood quite far away , had closed the gap while being fully ard.
(Are you serious? damn it!)
The battle turned into a stalemate. For Ryouma, three full ard thieves by themselves were not a threat, however those three showed signs of cooperation and showed no opening for Ryouma.
Ryouma then returned his sword to the sheath, fixing his posture and waited for the opponents to make a move.
Both sides continued to look at each other with hostility.
(If this keeps up, it could be bad I guess I have no choice, do or die!)
Suddenly, Ryouma loosen up his stance, and erases his killing intent. His grip on the sword beca loose and then, Ryouma slowly began walking toward the thieves.
Contrary to the battle just now, he didnt show any anger on his face nor did he emit killing intent. He walked ahead with the face of a living doll.
S-Stop!
W-What are you?!
His sudden change caused the thieves to be surprises. After all, he did not put any stance, and he had a lot of openings. It seed, that he could be killed by a single blow..
Step by step he ca closer
One of the thieves was unable to keep up with it any longer and went to approach Ryouma.
Fu! Dont joke with ! Die! He made a large overhead swing, aiming down toward Ryouma head.
*Fuu*
Ryouma rotate his body to the right side.
*Zwuzz*
Fresh blood busted out from the thiefs neck.
Y-You bastard, what did you do?!
With blood from the thief splashed on Ryoumas face, the other thieves felt fear, as he kept walking towards them void of any emotions.
For Ryouma, if the three people were to attack together while cooperating, it would have made it hard for him to win. However, the thieves seed to be quite impatient, perhaps because they feared not having the advantage in the fight.
Ryoumas sword had been swung.
*Zashu*
*Slash*
Ryouma swung down horizontally like one would with a scythe, aiming towards one of the two remaining thieves torso who made an opening, using his montum, he changed the angle and slashed the last one vertically. Having killed them all, he flicked his sword and returned it to its sheath.
Fuuuu
Ryouma let out a deep sigh from his mouth and then looking around, checking the number of corpses.
(it seems, I was able to manage it)
E Excuse ?
A voice appeared from behind him.
Ryouma turned around, where a silver haired girl was approaching him.
Ah! Theres blood on your face.
The silver haired girl wiped off the blood on Ryouma face, using her sleeves.
Im sorry, I havent introduced myself, my na is Laura, I am the elder sister to Sara over there. She nodded towards the girl with the blond hair.
Im the younger sister, Sara.
I see, are you both alright?
Yes. Thank you for saving us.
As they said that, both lowered their heads.
No, please dont do that. I should be apologising for letting you both to experience sothing like that, I should have co to your help sooner
That is not true, its good enough that our bodies didnt end up getting defiled by those monsters.
Yes just like what my little sister said. No matter what you might say, we are both grateful for your help thank you very much.
When Laura responded to Sara words, both of them lowered their head once again.
Ryouma looked at the two girls who thanked him, and could not help himself getting fascinated by their beauty.
Finely chiselled faces with light brown skin. Beautiful firm limbs, and then there is the big chests that could make most woman jealous.
They wore clothes similar to that of an Arabian dancer, however the collar around their necks and the handcuffs stood out, ruining the look a bit.
(Looking like this, its no wonder the thieves was losing their mind over them huh?)
However, Ryouma felt sothing uncomfortable coming from the girls.
(Whats going on? These girls look stronger than the thieves!)
Looking at the way the girls moved, and how they keep attention to their surroundings, it seed like they had so knowledge about martial arts. At least, they dont seem like soone who gets violated by thieves.
Emm? Is sothing wrong? Laura who might have felt Ryouma gaze asked the question.
Ah, no, Im sorry. I just thought of sothing. By the way, what is your family na?
A slave does not have a family na.
Due to Laura answer, Ryouma face cramped.
He had thought about such thing due to the collars and the cuffs but, to think they were slaves.
Ah Im sorry.
No need to apologize. Please dont mind it.
Despite saying that, shadows appear on their face.
Such delicate air flowed among the three people.
(Damn, I screwed up I have made the situation awkward)
He had never co across a situation like this in the past, and no matter how much he thought about it, he was unable to find anything to say, to stop the awkward silence so he was thankful when it was Sara who suddenly broke the silence.
Emm Excuse , but, may I ask your na?
Because he had thought of a lot of things, he forgot to introduce himself.
Ah, yes, my na is Mikoshiba. Mikoshiba Ryouma
Mikoshiba-sama Mikoshiba-sama. Please let thank you once again. This ti, we truly have been saved, thank you very much.
As she said that, the two of them lowered their head.
No, its fine. Anyway, what are you guys going to do after this, do you want to escort you to Aru town?
However, their answer surprised Ryouma.
No Im very sorry, but we cannot move from this place without master orders.
Due to such unexpected answer, Ryouma didnt have any responds.
Looking at the two of them, it didnt seems to be a joke.
Ryouma timidly asked the two of them.
Are you, serious?
Yes!
The two girls nodded at the sa ti.
That master of yours, where are he?
He tried to look around in case their master died due to either the thieves or his own surprise attack, however, looking around and judging from the corpse, the person in question dont seem to be here.
At the ti when the thieve attacked, master ran away with the escort guard.
Hearing Saras words, Ryouma was amazed.
He never thought that they would still be willing to wait for the command of their master who had ran away leaving them.
Let ask you once again? Your master ran away and left you behind?
Yes.
And youre still going to stay here?
Yes. If theres no order from the master, we cannot move.
(Oi oi are you serious?)
To be honest, he felt that this was already turning quite troubleso.
Ryouma actually wanted to bring them to the next town, and then imdiately say goodbye, since theres still the matter regarding the empire pursuers.
However, it is impossible for him to do since they both say, they wont move.
(Well, I guess, I have no choice huh? I can only leave so food my tent, and so stuff so they can prepare for camping)
Ryouma who knew that the girls intention would not change instructed the girls to prepare for the night.
Of course he felt bad for leaving the two girls in the forest like this; however, he was also on a schedule, so he was unable to stay and care for them.
(Well, I will help them as far as I can.)
While Laura and Sara began to prepare for the night as instructed, Ryouma carried the dead bodies of the thieves and so who appeared to be guards.
However, an unexpected situation happens.
Ryouma that was in the middle of carrying the second dead body inside the woods heard the screaming voice of the girls.
(Isnt that Saras voice?!)
Desperately running to return to the girls, Ryouma saw a thief whose armour was sared in blood carrying Sara under his arm while riding a horse.
You bastard, dont think you can get away with this! After all, I rembered your face! Ill definitely chase after you and kill you!
(Damn it! And I was sure that I had killed him!)
However, no matter how much Ryouma curses, nothing changed.
It appears that the thief who got slashed on across his torso wasnt cut deep enough, and had managed to get away while carrying Sara.
Ryouma grabbed one of the chakrams from the waist bag and ran after the thief.
(Damn it. Its too far.)
The theif was getting further and further away, and Ryoumas vision was getting hindered by the leaves, while he was unable to run as quickly as he usually could because of the tree branches.
Although chakrams is a very powerful weapon, it has a single drawback. It dont have long range, as it can only fly a moderate distance, unlike an bow that can shoot an arrow very far.
While a bow has an effective range of about 220 ters, on the battlefield, a chakram only has an effective range of 40 or so ters.
When Ryouma arrived at the girls place, the thief had already left on the horse and was several tens of ters away.
Damn it!
He looked around for a horse; however, there was none. In the first place, Ryouma was unable to ride a horse, so even if theres one, it would still be aningless.
Mikoshiba-sama!
Did she get beaten because she tried to protect Sara? So blood appeared at the corner of Lauras mouth.
Its fine. I will definitely do sothing!
Laura shakes her head toward Ryouma who tried to assure her.
No. I have a request!
A request?
Yes. I apologize but, Mikoshiba-sama, can you cut your ring finger?
Ryouma who didnt understand Laura words got confused. What?!
However, her expression was serious.
Please. Theres no ti!
Being told to do so while feeling he had to rush to save Sara, made Ryouma a little confused, but he still cut his left ring finger.
Is this alright?
Borrowing Ryouma sword, Laura quickly cut her left ring finger a little bit and then kneeling in front of him.
O the great God of contracts Hava. Listen to my oath.
(Is she praying?)
My body, my soul, my heart, and my everything.
The words keep continuing despite Ryouma confusion.
Everything I dedicate to my master!
Mikoshiba-sama. Please give your left hand.
Ryouma then offered his left hand as Laura told him.
We pledge by the blood covenant.
With Laura declaration, the two fingers overlap and the blood mixed.
At that mont, a bright light appeared from the collar on her neck.
Suddenly her collar crumbles without any sound, and the handcuff detached.
Alright, it seems it was a success. I need to hurry!
Laura then moved her muscular body. Which made Ryouma thought fitted perfectly to the well-proportioned body.
While beaming with confidence Laura said.
Master. Please allow to use my power.
Ryouma who didnt understand what was going, simply nodded due to her sudden change.
Laura who saw him do so, starting to chanting.
O wind spirit Shilf. Respond to my request. Like the speed of the wind! Wind divine protection, wind protection!
After Laura finishes her spell, a green light wrapped their both their bodies.
Now then, Master. Lets get Sara back!
