It has been about two weeks since we defeated the bandits.
The C-ranked Virum and his team have not changed their orders, and they are still doing the same high quality work as before.
If I had to say it was only that they have started choosing to take out requests that have stronger monsters.
Now, Virum and the others were heading to the Adventurer's Guild as usual, when they heard voices arguing from the back alleys along the way.
''Hey, let go of me! We're in a hurry!
Don't be such a prude. It's not safe around here, and I'm going to show you around, okay?
Yeah, yeah. I didn't have any ulterior motive. It's just a friendly gesture.
That's not necessary. Just let go of me!
Apparently there are about three men involved with the woman.
She seems to be a strong woman and is stoutly glaring at them even though they are holding her wrists.
'We have to help - you mean Vil!
Master!
Meldina and Cunaria saw Vyrm dashing to the rescue of the woman like the hero of the story ━━
Hey! Where are you going?!
Virum turned around as the two of them stopped him.
''Where... it was Meldina who told you that if you don't get to the guild soon, you'll lose your good job, right?''
You're going to abandon her?
'Abandonment, you say... Do you know that woman?
No, it's not... I don't know, girl, but...
Then why should I help you?
"...Oh my God! You help us because we want to help you! Come with me for a minute! Coona, let's go!
Yes, sir!
The two of them grab Virum's hands, one by one, as he tilts his head curiously and pulls them away.
Virum doesn't understand their intentions and is at the mercy of them for now.
The men notice the signs of approaching and turn their heads.
''What is it?'' I'm in the middle of a great time, don't bother me... Hey, hey, these girls are cute, too.
What is it? Do you guys want to play with me?
That makes it exactly three to three... ugh!
At first, the men only saw Meldina and Cunaria, but the moment they caught Virum in sight, their expressions distorted in fear.
''Oh, shit! This guy is an abomination who beat up Kavacca and the others!
So you mean these three are bandit-sweepers?
Look, I don't want to argue with you guys, okay? I'm gonna leave you alone!
The rumor of the quarrel with Kavaca and his friends and the rumor of Wyrm and his friends, who had killed almost all of the thirty bandits, was now so widespread among the people living in Farren that no one knew about it.
The men are running away as if their previous attitude is a lie.
Meldina and Cunaria have lost the opportunity to move into action because they were running away so spectacularly.
As for Wyrm, he had no intention of messing with her from the start, so he was a sideline player.
It was the woman who had been entangled that broke the rare silence.
''Um, anyway, thank you for helping me out.
She would be somewhere between fourteen and five years old at her age.
Her peach-colored hair is pulled up into a ponytail, which may make her look a little young.
The easy-to-move clothes that match her lively face make her feel more cheerful.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're looking for a job.
"No, no. I ran off right away, so I didn't do anything...''
It's not us. I mean, he saw Master and ran away...
The three of them turned their gazes to Virum.
'Black eyes and black hair.... Yes, you're Vi-li-li.
When the woman staring at Virum as if observing him was about to speak to him, a female knight rushed towards him with a ground-shaking force.
''Mmm! Rips in the princess's clothes! A man with a bad eye was there! Judgment! It's a personal death sentence!
The female knight, who came at a speed that raised a cloud of dust, leaped and drew her sword with her momentum and attacked Virum with a grand misunderstanding.
''Hmm?''
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.
It's a good idea to be able to have a look at it. Stop it! The man is...
Don't worry, Princess! You see, I, Listiane, will take out this bandit who tried to kidnap the princess at once! Die, Oraa!
The woman called Princess tries desperately to persuade her, but the female knight (Ristiane), who has reached the extreme end of her misunderstanding, doesn't seem to have reached her ears.
While screaming a roar, Virum lightly avoids her onslaught of sharp sword shots without pause, while keeping all of her sword streaks visible.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
''d*mn! Pardon my French! Cheeky! Be quiet! Me! Let them cut you down!
Whether from fatigue or frustration, the definition is slowly slipping away from the swordfight.
(I think you're misunderstanding something, but I hear you're not going to discuss it. I can feel the killing intent, am I still not allowed to kill it?)
....to crush them.
It seems that Virum, troubled by the difficulty of dealing with the attackers, has decided to neutralize her for now.
Huh! You're the one who's been avoiding me all this time, and now you're going to lay me down?
In contrast, Ristiane seems to have heard the murmurings, but she returns with a mockery to Vilm's words, which have not been countered at all until now...
'That's a funny joke! If I could do it, I'd try it... ooohhhh!
As soon as he did, he was physically turned over.
Listyanne, who was laid out on her back, hurriedly flailed about trying to break the restraints, but she didn't freak out.
I'm not sure if he realized that there was nothing he could do, or if he gave up on the idea of fighting, but he glared at Virum as if it was the least he could do.
''d*mn it, kill him! As a knight, I'd rather die than be humiliated!
Yes, I got a "kukkoro" comment.
If this were a normal story or an eighteenth-century work, the outcome expected from this situation would be pretty much a given, but that's our insane (Virum).
I get it.
He nodded at Ristiane's words and instantly raised his fist.
Go to 「「「「...? 」」」」
Ristiane's expression becomes dumbfounded by Vilm's reply, which is too tepid.
Meldina, Cunaria, and the woman who was called the princess also have a dumbfounded expression on their faces.
''Owwww!
The moment he understood the meaning of that raised fist, Ristiane deflected his own upper body to the side as far as he could with a force that exceeded his entire body and could be described as the best he'd ever had in his life.
"BOGOGO!
Wyrm's fist slammed into the ground.
It's not hard to imagine that if it had been hit on the head, it would have been a crushed tomato for sure.
Seeing the plunging fist, Ristiane's mouth is fluttering like a goldfish while turning pale.
"Giggling," a sound like a rusty machine barely moving, she moved her gaze to Virum, and what she saw was his face with a strange expression on it.
'Hmm? Why avoid it?
Hey, of course I'm avoiding it! That's dangerous! What will you do with me when I die!
No, you're the one who told me to kill him...
Ristiane protests vehemently, but Wilm doesn't seem to understand why he is being blamed.
'Don't you know anything about beauty of style? Normally, a female knight would say, "d*mn! When I told you to kill me, you said, "I won't kill you easily. You're about to enjoy f*cking me like 'I'm going to enjoy your body'!
I don't know. Why would I have to make a baby with you when I just met you?
(Oh, I've heard the Master's line just now, monstrously.)
Although the situation is different, Cunaria blushes as she recalls the scene when she was told the exact same lines before.
Meldina, who has come to her senses, convinces Virum to pull her off, and the woman called Princess reprimands Ristiane for sitting upright and attacking her for her misunderstanding.
The look of ecstasy on Ristiane's face as she was being reprimanded must have been probably a misunderstanding.
