"There you are. ......"

　The tracking bird brought us to an even more unsafe place in the favela.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were obviously some riffraff, who sat on the ground and looked at us as if to judge us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We moved through them, and at the end of the road, we saw a building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The building looks reasonably solid, even though it is in a poor neighborhood with many ramshackle houses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it looks shabby enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But while the other buildings look like they are about to collapse, that one building somehow does not look like it is about to collapse.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? This is no place for a child like a monk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I approach the building, a man appears blocking my way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Slowly, I noticed that a number of men came out and surrounded me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think there is a little girl here.　He's one of my people. Can I have him back?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh?　What are you talking about? I don't know that kid. Get the hell out of here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yeah?　You lied to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　Gasp ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked the guy who was talking to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He asked me if I knew any girls like Mitya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he answered that he did not know of any.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I don't believe that answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I know she is here thanks to the tracking bird.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He swings his magic sword at the liar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My sword slices through his torso so sharply that not even a splat is heard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the men around me don't seem to be panicking, despite the suddenness of the deed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other men did not scream when they saw it, but each of them picked up a weapon and looked at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if they are used to this kind of thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, seize him!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know. That's him, isn't it? The bounty hunter. If we bring it to him, he'll fetch a good price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sell him with that kid, you might have enough money to play with for the rest of your life."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If anything, I'm the one who cut a man down right in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, a bounty hunter?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Am I right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is there a bounty on me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yeah. You're that guy, right? You're the kid general of the mercenaries. You've been on a roll lately. They're looking at you, man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heh. I didn't know that. But you guys are no match for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't get cocky, kid. And you know what?　You attack us any more. You don't know what will happen to the kid, do you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the men threatened me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By "the kid" I wonder if he means Mitya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't seem to have time to find out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or maybe the conversation was just to get my attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attack came from a different direction from the guy I was talking to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's not like I couldn't react.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had fought my first real battle against several magic-armored soldiers in the labyrinth town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I've fought against several opponents at the same time on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Based on this experience, I was able to react to attacks from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When a man slashes at him from behind, he immediately turns around to avoid the attack and then counterattacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He swung his magic sword and struck a sideways blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even in the midst of that attack, another attack comes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think they said something about seizing him earlier, but maybe a bounty hunter should be dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Men were cutting at me with bloodshot eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These guys don't hesitate too much!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were obviously looking at me like I was a bag of money, not a person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if there's a lot of money around my neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite the fact that I was cutting them down one by one, people appeared here and there, and they were coming after me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that some of them are surprisingly strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sometimes, they duck my attacks and counterattack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each time, sword to sword, sword to sword, a sparring match ensues, and then comes the attack from the other side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have been to the favelas a few times, and I was a little surprised to see someone who can fight so well in such a place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even so, he was able to cope with the situation without problems.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They went on a rampage with their magic swords in their hands, creating a sea of blood on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gradually, their momentum subsided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed that their numbers were finally decreasing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, I told you not to move! I'm really going to kill this kid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then the battle changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's the guy I was talking to earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he didn't attack me, but left the place and went to a building in the back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he came back carrying a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Mitya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha. Listen, don't get any rougher than that, okay?　If you do, I'll kill him right here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... you sure about this?　You went out of your way to kidnap that girl, didn't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. But we're just in the market for a quick score."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A product?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. This kid's an animal, right?　There are perverts in this world. Some people pay good prices for animals, especially female animals. You can sell her for a lot of money. But I never thought a bargain like that would come with a guy like you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're buying and selling beastmen?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. You're a pretty face too, if you take a closer look. Maybe I can sell you to some pervert."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... enough. Shut up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sick of this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know there are people who buy and sell people, but this might be the first time I've ever had someone look at me like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It didn't make me feel very good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Go ahead, Norn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Meow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I commanded Norn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not Norn, the magic sword I have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the Norn in the form of a kitten that had followed Laura.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cat-shaped Norn that had been with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Norn had already approached the man and Mitya's side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell is this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then his kitten form changes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He appears in his place as a red-armored fresh-blooded Norn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The tables have turned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see the man who had taken Mitya as a hostage and had been pretending to be relaxed, panicking, and I approach him with my magic sword in my hand.
