episode_0366

As soon as we heard the woman’s voice coming from the back of the alley, Ethan, I, and Agnes walked forward without hesitation.

What the three of us, a small passage search team, found were ‘Lisa’, a brown-haired woman with an awkward appearance leaning against the alley with her head down, and ‘Mel’, a light green-haired woman lying on the floor coughing.

“Keep, Kek, Hak! Sigh… .”

“… … .”

“Now, wait, you two, stop fighting!”

… Damn it, am I late?

I showed up late and spoke to the two people in the alley, but the situation had already happened.

When I saw Lisa just leaning against the alley without saying a word and Mel lying down with red blood stains on her side, I couldn’t shake the bitter feeling that came to my mind.

‘If I had moved a little faster, I might have been able to save one more person… .’

Of course, even if I regretted it now, it wasn’t like a ‘dead’ person would come back, so I took out a dagger from inside my skirt for the boss battle in Bridget Village that was about to begin.

Mel, who was lying on the floor bleeding, recognized me and the other two people and quickly started to get up.

-Sigh.

“Sa, please save me! Oh, that woman! That woman… !”

-Tap!

“Run, you can’t run! If you suddenly move your body with such an injury… .”

“Ha, the woman called me here in the middle of the night, said I was disturbing her, and suddenly pulled a knife at me… .”

-Tap!!

“You can’t run! First, stop the bleeding and then go to the village hall! You should take a break there!”

“Oh, no! That woman! That woman just said to me… !”

-Taaa!!

“After seeing him stabbed and searched like this, I can’t control my emotions anymore!!!”

‘Mel’ seemed to be running towards us, clutching his thighs, and then took out a dagger from inside his hand hidden at his side and pointed it at me.

As it was a pattern I had already expected, I blocked Mel’s dagger flying in front of me with my sword along the visible path of the sword, and stabbed the woman’s wrist with the sword in my other hand, knocking one of her hands to the floor.

-Fuuuk!

“… … What?”

As if he hadn’t thought that his attack would be countered, Mel took a step back as soon as I cut his wrist, covering the wound.

I quietly made eye contact with her and finished preparing for battle, holding a dagger in both hands.

“I told you not to run like that, you two bitches.”

“… … .”

“If you didn’t want your wrists cut off, you should have just pretended to search. How can it be possible for a bitch who got stabbed in the side to jump up like that?”

Mel takes a step back, covering his cut wrist without a single drop of blood, and Ethan and Agnes prepare for battle accordingly.

Soon, dozens of thin tentacles began to sprout from Mel’s severed wrist, and the tentacles seemed to gather and unite to create a new ‘hand’.

“You’re amazing, self-defense teacher. I never thought you would cut off my wrist without hesitation.”

“… I didn’t like him from the first day of class when he started talking openly about me sounding like I was a stooge of bandits. How can I trust a bitch who openly says she wants to sacrifice village girls to bandits?”

“I tried to act weak and disrupt the class on purpose, but I had no idea that they would punish me unintentionally during class. Thanks to you, unlike that woman, I got so tired of pretending to really have a hard time.”

-Tuk.

As soon as she said those words, Lisa’s body, leaning against the wall, suddenly fell down. I felt a bit of regret that I might have been able to save enough, but I tried to shake it off.

Even if he had moved to save Lisa anyway, not only could he not 100% guarantee survival, but if it hadn’t been Lisa, perhaps one of the other women in the village would have been sacrificed instead.

The important thing was to prevent that woman from causing any more casualties, not to pray to revive lives that had already died.

… Moreover, the enemy I had to deal with from now on wasn’t just that woman.

– Rustling.

“What is it? You said you were going to make it a little fun, but there are only two women?”

“You asshole, it’s fun because it’s just the two of you. How funny it is that bitches like that are later stabbed back and forth like skewers, crying, crying, and pleading.”

“The guy who kills dick-headed babies is number one. I’m going to be that bitch with big breasts, so don’t overlook it.”

“… … .”

-Paak.

This time, Ethan grits his teeth and looks around at the sight of a group of bandits openly harassing Agnes.

… Looking at that expression, I think he probably won’t put down his sword until he kills everyone here, but I can only hope that Ethan’s shoulder will hold up safely until then.

“What? two? Was that red hair a girl too?”

-Quick.

“Fuck, does that look like a woman to your eyes?! I’d rather have a goat butt than that bitch! The feeling of wanting to hold a log baby like that is not some kind of sexual desire… .”

-pop!

“Kkeup, kwaaak! Fuck! fire! Turn off the lights, baaal!!!”

A bandit fearlessly talks about her body in front of Agnes and then cries out with its head on fire.

Although I could use fire magic, it was clear who used the magic, judging from its power and the circumstances.

“Agnes, save your magic power. We already have to fight against demons right now, so why waste our magical power on something like that?”

“… Then just listen to what he says?”

“That’s not what I mean, I’m just saying that you should use an efficient method rather than burning your head. Men feel much more pain from a burning heart than from a burning head.”

“… … What?”

-I flinch.

“… … .”

Ethan next to me glanced at my remarks, but I just ignored them and told Agnes about ‘how to use fire magic effectively.’

“It takes quite a lot of horsepower to burn the entire head, but burning the area between the groins takes less than 10% of that. On the other hand, the pain felt by the man would be more than a hundred times more painful than having his head burn. If the goal is to take someone’s life, it would of course be right to attack the head, but anyway, what Agnes just did was just to vent her anger, so I think this will be enough.”

“… … .”

“Hey! Hey, watch out for that redheaded crazy bitch! There’s no doubt that the washboard guy used fire magic… !!”

-pop!

“Keueuuu?! The soil, each… !! Oh my… !!”

As soon as Agnes listened to the advice I gave her, this time she accurately blasted the bandit’s groin area with flame magic, silencing him.

Perhaps because the fear that any man would know was contagious among the bandits, I suddenly felt like the number of people looking towards me and Agnes had drastically decreased.

“How about it? This is much more efficient.”

“… That’s right, I learned something good.”

“… I don’t think it’s okay to use it for people like that, but I think it’s better not to use it for people you might have to meet more than once.”

“I know that much.”

Agnes’ fire magic seemed so shocking that even Ethan, who was on the same side as her, inadvertently gave out advice.

Among the bandits gathered at the scene, a few terrified people tried to break away from the battle, but due to the interference of the tentacle woman who confronted us, they were unable to do so.

“Shi, fuck! Hey, I never heard there was a wizard! Besides, how to fight against such a cruel bitch… .”

-Phew!

“Ker, keuhuh… . Oh my… .”

“… Don’t run away. Wouldn’t it be rude of me to run away first from the playground I made for you?”

The sharp tentacle that extended from Mel’s hand stabbed the bandit in the back as he tried to run away.

-dump.

The body of a bandit who was stabbed in the chest from behind falls limp and falls to the floor.

The bandits’ mood became even heavier after seeing that scary scene, but their hasty attempts to run away using fear seemed to have subsided at once.

“I will not forgive anyone who tries to leave first without enjoying the playground I prepared for them. Your role is to rape those women right in front of me until they cry and beg… !!”

“Yeah, fuck it! If I’m going to fall behind anyway, I’ll just fuck a bitch like that and then die! You bastards, kill that guy first!”

“Kill! There are so many of us anyway, so just rush in and kill them all!!”

A group of bandits rushed towards us following the words of one brave bandit.

There didn’t seem to be any particularly talented people among them, so I guess with this number of people, even one of us would be able to deal with them.

As Ethan’s compatibility with Mel wasn’t very good, it was decided that one of us would take on the group of bandits.

“However, Dan’s attack won’t work on that woman. You won’t be able to keep up with the regeneration speed of swarm demons by simply cutting them down.”

“… Yes.”

“So, I will ask Dan to play the role of keeping other guys away while Agnes and I are fighting. … There are a bit too many to entrust to just one person, but at least there doesn’t seem to be anyone with skills higher than a sword expert.”

“Okay, just leave it to me. At the very least, I will cut out the tongues of every single one of those who said strange things to you.”

… Excessive anger quickly leads to excitement, so it would be right to control your emotions as much as possible when swinging the sword, but for Ethan, it doesn’t matter.

If you think about how Ethan became strong from a young age, his biggest growth engine was ultimately his sexual desire.

In another sense, this is an emotion similar to excitement, so a moderate level of anger would probably be an element similar to emotional doping for Ethan.

“Vision, sharpen your sword.”

-Pasing.

“Have a nice trip, Dan.”

“… Lis, don’t get hurt.”

With his final greeting before the battle, Ethan rushes toward the group of bandits with a sword in both hands.

The Bridget village protection event was the beginning of the final battle.
