When I went to sleep, I came to the bandit's lair, which the mayor told me about.
　There are two men standing in front of the cave.
　The guards.

　...... I accepted the request on the spur of the moment, but what should I do to get rid of them?

　If I sneak in and defeat the boss, the others will escape ...... no reason.

　I think we'll have to kill them all after all.

　I've decided to use my "wisdom" to see if I can find any examples of banditry control.




　...... Hmmmm...




　I see.


　Now I know why thieves attack merchants and townspeople.
　They basically ambush people in groups and take them by surprise.
　That's because each one of them is poor at their job.


Hey you!　What are you doing there!


　I had to use my Wisdom in front of their hideout, and now they know I'm there.
　But we'll be forced to do what we must anyway.
　What do you mean?


I'm just a traveler who came here to kill thieves.


　He instantly approached the two bandits and punched one of them in the face, knocking him out.
　When the other one was about to attack, I gave him a spinning kick, knocking him out.


"I guess you're not so tough after all.


　I try to avoid pointing my sword at people.
　I've never killed a man in my life and I always hesitate to show my strength.
　Then you might as well start fighting bare-handed, not with a sword in the first place.

　It's a good thing I studied martial arts out of curiosity.
　You have some idea of how to move your body.

　Then you'll go into the cave.
　It's reasonably well maintained, so this is what you would call your hideout.


What the hell?

We have an intruder!


　Thieves just keep showing up.
　They're wielding weapons, but with the Sight Enhancement, this level of attack doesn't feel right!


Hey!

"Phew!


　One by one, he stunned them with a single blow.
　The bandits keep showing up, but they're an uncoordinated group.
　I could easily bring them in one-on-one.
　Continuing onward, you'll find yourself at the location where the stolen goods are stored.
　The master of the bandits sits in the middle chair.


d*mn, I never thought I'd see a kid like this take down my men.


　The man let out a disgusted sigh.
　I can see the marks of a cross slash on his cheek.


I'm okay. I didn't kill him.

Ha-ha, yeah, that's the way to go. But if you take it easy on me, you'll die.

　The man pulled a large sword from behind his chair.

"Even though I look like this, I'm still as good as a high ranking swordsman.　That's the kind of skill you need to have to be able to do without being a thief.

...... Then why are you a bandit?

It's fun. It's killing people, taking their stuff, their freedom, their lives.

It's just a piece of crap.

"Geez, Geez, Geez, ...... you're going to get killed by that piece of shit now!

　He easily lifted that heavy-looking sword and handled it with impunity.
　His muscles are obviously enlarged, so he must be using some kind of skill.

　She uses "Wisdom".

　Was that ...... that's "supernatural"?

Hey!

　He swings his greatsword with great force.
　He doesn't care if the stolen items on the floor are broken, he's coming for me.
　I watch him as he moves, avoiding it.

　Is this the extent of upper level swordsmen ......?

　That's what I thought.
　I'm not trying to be insulting, it's just an honest thought .
　I can see that he's grown a lot more than when I fought Carlo, but ...... hmmm.

　I thought this wasn't just an effect of Demonization.
　It could also mean that her magic power has increased and her physical strength is much higher.

Are you kidding me?　I'll show you!　The horror of the Gory Assault!




　The man swung his great sword at high speed and literally unleashed a series of blows .




　Hmmm.......

　It's a simple move.

　I'm sure it's strong, but using it against an opponent who can't hit you is a bad idea.

　I ducked out of the way and slammed my fist into his face.


"Gah!


　Then the man fell to the ground on his back, his eyes white.


"Squeak!

Hmm?



　When the fight was over, I heard something crying in the back.
　What was it, some kind of animal?

Is this ...... a baby dragon?

Cui?

　I went toward the cry and saw a light blue dragon in a cage.
　It was probably stolen from a peddler.

Well, we'll just have to tie up these thieves and make sure they can't move before we can protect this thing.

　He quickly roped them all up while they were unconscious and handed them over to the town guard.


　The Mayor.

I never thought I'd really get rid of it all by myself: ......

　He was surprised, but isn't he a little too overreacting against the bandits?
　Well, at any rate, I was given a gold coin as my reward and a fast carriage will be arranged for me.
　He said the carriage will leave early the day after tomorrow morning.

So that's done.

Cuong!

'No, you still have a problem: ......

　I tried to get him to take custody of the baby dragon, but he refused.
　Dragons are very difficult to handle and are rarely traded.
　They said no because they were too much for us in this town.

　I don't want to take the killing option.
　She was cute, she kind of got to me, and I got attached to her.

But if you take her without doing anything, she'll be a problem in town and at the barrier station.

　Sigh.

　It takes a dragon 100 years to become an adult dragon.
　It's the adult dragon that a [dragon knight] like Anna can relate to.

　But although they seem to be very valuable, baby dragons like this one are sometimes sold.
　The baby dragon is far from the adult dragon in terms of strength but it's still a monster.


　To take a monster with you, the monster must be proven to be absolutely safe.
　In other words, it's not just a monster, but a servant with a contract.

　To take her, you have to make a servant's contract with me.
　But to make a contract, there must be someone who can handle the skills of the "servant contract" ...... unfortunately not in this city.

"Do you want to travel with me?

　I'm going to talk to a baby dragon on his head.

Cunn!

　Then he squealed in reply.

"So there's nothing to do. I guess I'll just have to learn the Fiendish Covenant...
