--Oh, it's really ...... not to be meddled with.


　I'm going to grab the fist of the man approaching me and pull him to my side.

　The man lost his stance and was hit in the face by the fist of his companion, who was attacking me from the other direction, and stopped, blasting off loudly and hitting the wall of the bar, and calmed down.

　It's a scene you would only see in a comic book that a person is hit and flies like this, but when it comes to powerful demon tribe fights, it seems to become a reality.

Magel!

　You hit your colleague and upset him, and then slap him in the lower jaw, with just enough force to prevent his head from blowing off.
　The man's brains are shaken and he collapses to the ground and settles down.

　...... I don't care about it, but a concussion is really a concussion, and it's really dark in front of your eyes.

　You can see things, but you can't recognize them, and you feel like you're losing your mind. 　
　I can hear my friends' voices, but I can't understand what they're saying.

　It happened to me once in a past life when I was playing basketball with my friends and it freaked me out a lot.

Ooh!

"Oops.

　Out of the corner of my eye as I was thinking about such trivial matters, I see a man grabbing a knife from his waist and swinging it toward you.

　I twisted and ducked the knife that was about to pierce my torso and elbowed the man's knife-holding hand and slammed it into a nearby table.

"Iggy--

　Megi, and the feel of crushing bones.
　A cologne, a rolling knife.

Don't use a blade in a fight. It's dangerous.

　As the man stiffened in pain, I hit him on the lower jaw with a thump, as before, to shake his brain and calm him down.

Don't get cocky.

　I heard an angry voice from behind me.

　I instantly turned my gaze to see a man coming from behind to bite me in a passionate hug, and I, who has no taste for hugging a man, crouched down on the spot to avoid a hug.

　Then, just as the man's arms flailed over me, I took his arms and stood up, spinning him around in a circle and dropping him from the second floor to the floor below.

　The man who fell to the first floor let out a groan, smashing one of the desks with a flourish from the middle, and became restless and motionless.

　Shit, shit, shit. I was trying to be as careful as possible not to break anything in the store: .......

"Whoosh! You're good, nee-chan!

"Dad! One more beer for me!

　By the way, the customers downstairs, where the man had fallen down, seemed to be screaming at the man's fall from above, but instead they were cheering and enjoying themselves.

　That's right, the other patrons in the bar, as soon as the fight started, turned around to watch us and began to drink with us to snack on our brawl.

　As for the master of the bar, he's trying to make money as a betting man, as if he's going to be angry at us for starting a fight in the bar, and the band on the stage attached to the bar is playing up-tempo and cheerful tunes instead of the gentle background music that has been playing in the bar.

　You've got some guts, demon tribe.

　Perhaps this kind of conflict is an everyday occurrence over here.
　You seem to be used to dealing with it.

　And while Leila and En are taking it easy, Nell and the court wizard are looking a bit impatient and ready to pull out their weapons at any moment, and can be seen to be on the lookout for us.

　I'm sorry to have gotten you involved.
　I'll make sure that the aftermath doesn't go your way, so please forgive me.

Tch! They're useless!

　And then, apparently numbed by the fact that his subordinates had calmed down one by one.
　The muscular young man blows the desk between us with his arm and comes lumbering toward me, swinging his braids from side to side as if he is furious.

　Hey, don't break too much stuff in the store.
　I don't know if you'll be charged later.

　...... No, it's the Duke's house, so that kind of bill is perfectly acceptable.

　Or maybe I'm the one in trouble. He's already broken one of the desks and glasses and such: .......

　...... I wonder if the king will pay me if I get a bill.

"I am stronger than these cowards! You'll regret it in the afterlife for that lousy talk!

"No, no, I'm sorry. It was just a little misunderstanding. Come on, I'll buy you a drink or a meal.

"Shut up, shut up!

　The young man yells at you for not listening to him and dares to tackle you with a runner.

　...... Oh, God.

　Oh, God, I'm starting to get pissed off.

　You know, I know I was wrong, right?

　I know that this kind of custom is deeply rooted and there have been cases in previous lives where people have killed each other for trivial reasons.

　But ...... I felt bad, and I kept trying to apologize for it, but she never listened to me.

　But you don't listen to me at all, and it hits you right away.
　Are you sure you need to beat them up completely when you don't like something?

　Anyway, if you don't punch me in the face, you're not going to forgive me?

　And best of all--

I mean, what's the first thing about your hair?

　A little annoyed, I ducked and ducked a half-step away from the muscle-dharma tackle, then grabbed the braid on the side of her head that wasn't listening and pulled with all my might.

Agaaaaah! Wah, wah, my hair, huh?

　I pulled, and then added to the momentum of his tackle, buzzing! and the braids of the young muscle-darmer were torn off at the root.

"Don't you dare wear braids, man! You're running and shaking it around, you're freaky! And this is the haircut I wanted, I looked like an idiot for paying so much attention to it!

"Soooo, wow! It's a complete and utter turnabout!

　I'm sure you'll be able to find your way to the end of the second floor with everyone else when I shouted, and Nell, who had taken refuge at the end of the second floor with everyone else, seemed to have no idea what I was talking about.

Nuh-uh-uh, you! Yo, yo, how dare you do my hair!

"Shut up, a**h*le! If you like your freaky haircut that much, you can eat this!

"Ugh...

　With a yell, I ripped off his braid and shoved it into the mouth of the muscle-daruma.

"I'm sick of looking at you, so blow me up!

　Then I spun around to gain momentum and delivered a spinning kick to the opponent's face, which I kicked through and knocked his muscular body from the second floor to the first floor.

Kahaaaaah!

　The muscular Dharma, unable to take a passive position, was slammed into the ground on the first floor with great force - crunching, weakening, and finally stopped moving.



The winner is...! Chaaaaarenjaaaa!



"Uh-oh!

　Standing on one of the desks, the play-by-play man who had been there for some time declared victory with a rolled-up tongue, and the crowd below cheered louder than ever.



　Huh. ...... d*mn, they were a pain in the ass.

　When I finally got out of trouble, I let out a sigh of relief and said, "Huh!

Come on!

　--A few moments after the shouting, an unseemly man rushes into the store.

"That's the guy who picked a fight with Gejou-san! You guys, kill!

　It seems that the first person I dropped from the second floor to the bottom of the stairs has been calling for help from outside.
　She pointed at me upstairs, and the punks who came in bent their heads to get a better look at me and started to head up the stairs to the second floor.

　Oh, I've already ...... had another drink.

　Haha ...... it can't be helped, this time it's a seed that you sowed yourself.
　As a sign of remorse, let's send them home with their fists.

　And so I was ready to fight again, but before I could, the customers of the store in the middle of the frenzy stood in front of the thugs.

"Sir, fights have etiquette, too!

"If you want to fight that challenger, you have to fight us first!

"What the hell are you doing?

　The thugs give a bemused look at the motivated guests.

Wahahahaha! I can't help but feel my blood boiling at the sight of a hot fight! I'll deal with you!

"What the hell are you talking about! I'm going to deal with these guys!

Tsk! You drunks!

　The hoodlums flinching at the enthusiasm of the enthusiastic guests.

　...... That's something.

　It's a good thing that they are not the only ones who have a good sense of humor, because they are much more decent, and the excited drunken guests seem to be worse.

　--What began was a brawl between the newly appeared thugs and the excited customers.

　Punching, kicking, grabbing, and slamming.

　Laughing, you finish your drink and crack your opponent's head open with the empty bottle.
　A couple grabs one of them by the shoulders and throws him out of the store with momentum.

　Shouts, laughter, and the cheerful background music of a band that doesn't give up its own weight fills the store.

　...... What the hell is this. What kind of pirate bar is this?

...... Hey, man. What are we going to do with this?

　Nell, who was standing next to me and looking down on them from the second floor railing, gave me a jerk look.

　What do you want to do?

　...... This is no way to go about it.

............ Okay. Let's get out of here.

"What, eh? Run away!

"Pops! I'll leave the money here! Also, if you have a claim for breaking a desk or something, give it to the losing sons of b*tc*es!

"Hey! Nee-chan, it's so refreshing to see you blow those little bastards away! You're welcome to come back any time you want. We look forward to seeing you again!

　As he yelled downward, the tavern master laughed and laughed as he slammed an empty bottle into the thug's head. No, well, I didn't mean to talk to that muscular young man.

　...... No, well, I didn't mean to talk to that muscular young man.
　It was just a misunderstanding.

　I had just come to eat, and I got mocked and beaten up by a bunch of people. ...... It's kind of ironic that I'm so evil when I write it like this.

　I feel a little or a lot worse,...... but I don't know anymore.

　But I don't know anymore. I'm a selfish person who lives for selfishness. The collar is in place these days.
　But even so, if he attacks you by force, you have no choice but to retaliate.

　You'll be wishing you hadn't, and you'll be wishing you hadn't.

...... All right, boys, let's go home. The door to the first floor isn't going to let us through, so let's jump out the upper window.

Yuki-sama. When I get home, let's have a little talk with me.

"...... Oh, please be gentle with me.

　Leila's powerful smile must have a twitchy look on my face right now.

You can find out more about ......, how do you get down through the window?

"Huh? That's just a normal way to get off. --Hey, guys, excuse me.

"......

"Yes, please.

　I took En in my arms, grabbed the flame of sin with the same arm, and picked up Leila with the other arm.

　With the two of us in my arms, I put my feet on the open second floor window and jumped down at once.

　A wind that slices your cheeks.
　A floating sensation that enveloped my whole body.

　I bent my knees at the moment of my landing, letting most of the impact fall to the ground before standing up and letting go of the two men in my arms.

　Then I turn around and call out to the other two who are now peering at me from where I just came down.

Come on, you two! I'll catch you down there!

"Yeah, yeah, ......, you're really going to jump--you know, Ronia?

　Next to a recoiling Nell, a court magician comes jumping down with her feet on the window.

　Oh, gutsy.

Thank you.

"Hey!

　Catch the girl's flying body sideways, and then lower it slowly to the ground.

"--See, Nell, come on! It's okay!

"Uh-uh, ......, okay! --Ey!

　The status quo would not hurt you even if you failed to jump, but the height of the second floor makes you afraid.
　You're going to be able to get the most out of this article.

Huh? It was okay, right?

"Ummm, yeah, ...... thanks - but then I thought about it, you're the reason I had to jump out of a window like this, aren't you!

No, no, I'm sorry about that.

Don't worry, Nell-sama. After this, I'm going to have a leisurely talk with Yuki-sama.



Yes, Leila, please. Teach her a little more common sense.

"Su, sorry ......

　I let Nell down to the ground with a bitter smile at their arguments.

Ah ......

"Huh? What?

"--No, no, it's nothing! I know I caused quite a commotion, but do you still want to meet me here?

　With a little doubt in my mind, I answer her question.

Oh. It's the only place we have in common. It would be easier to meet up at the castle where we're staying, but you don't want to get too close to the powers that be here, do you?

I'm not sure. From what I've heard from the guy and Leila, the king might be the one to cooperate with you. ...... But we can't make that decision on our own. It's not a good idea to go to the castle.

Then this should be the place. Well, we don't need to go into the store, just use it as a meeting point, right?

Yeah, okay. --Goodbye, mister. I'll use the grimoire you gave me to contact you if anything happens!

Oh, don't hesitate to call me. See you later, Nell.

　Then I said goodbye to the brave men and went back to the castle with Leila and En.
