Day 3 of the Otherworldly Summoning [Rescue] Part 3:

'Get it back? There's no way I can catch up to the horse now...

Hearing the words of Sir and the others, Ryojin's gaze looked far away.
The horse driven by the bandits was already 150 meters ahead of him.

''It's still all right.''

Laura said and started chanting again.

'O wind spirit sylph! Do my bidding. Cut him to pieces! Wind Slash!

When Laura finished casting the spell, she swung her right hand to the side and a blade of wind was born in its path and flew towards the bandit.


Phong.

The sound of wind slashing echoes in the bandit's ears.

''Wha... Shit! How can you use a legal technique! That Yaro was a forensic artist too?!

He desperately rides his horse with Liang Shin's face in his head.
But no matter how much the bandit swears, the reality remains the same.
The second and third... Every time Laura's arm is waved, a blade of wind is born along the trajectory of her arm and is shot at the bandit.

''Chi...d*mn it!''

The blades of wind released one after another finally cleave the horse's hind legs.
The horse's right hind leg was abruptly severed and the horse collapsed on the spot.


''Come on. Let's go.''

Having succeeded in stalling the horse, Laura pulled Ryoma's hand back.

'Oops. Oi.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
It only took him about 10 seconds to get to the spot where the bandit had fallen.

Ryoma looked back at the distance he had just run through and was astonished.

(This guy........is this the same power that the old man was using? The wind she used earlier. That's definitely the same one.
It was a force. (Then what the hell is this now...)

It's the power of wind magic. Don't you know it?

Disbelief spreads to Laura as she sees the confusion on Liang Shin's face.

(This guy... he has all those martial arts skills, but he doesn't have any knowledge of the Dharma arts? .... no, it's not possible. (But ...)

The powerful in this world and the legal arts are closely related.
Even if they couldn't use the legal arts, it was natural for everyone to have it as knowledge.

Ryouma was stuck for a reply.

(Not that he didn't know. But if he said anything unnecessary, he would be ripped off. What to do!)

Silence dominated the scene.

'Sis.'

Saara called out to her, and the delicate air that lay between them changed dramatically.

'Are you hurt? Sarra?

'Yes! I took a proper passive. I'm fine.

(Passive ... it may indeed be possible, but to be thrown off a horse that was running so fast and stay unharmed...)

It seems that these sisters are quite good users, just as Ryoma had imagined.

Yeah. By the way, Saara. Where's the bandit?

I think my leg is crushed by a horse's body and I can't move. What should I do? Sis.

Let master decide.

Their gazes fell on Ryojin.

'Me?'

(Well, there's no need to worry about it, right?)

There's no advantage to keeping a thief alive for you, Ryouma.

If it's okay with me, I'll decide, okay?

When he saw them nod, Ryoma drew his sword and moved closer to the horse.

''Bulububulu.''

'Shit! My leg! Move, you stupid horse!

With the rise of a horse's rise, the sound of a bandit swearing and kicking a horse could be heard.

''Te...te...''

The bandit's face tightened as he noticed that Ryouma had approached him.

''Hey! Get out of my way! Stay away from me!

But Ryouma's feet don't stop.
The bandit's face contorts in fear as he sees the sword in Ryoma's hand.

''Na.......huh? Give me a break. Money? I'll give you money! Or is it a woman? I'll do that one too!

But Ryoma just walked on in silence.

''Te! You! You're on the wrong side of the line and you're taking advantage! We [Red Moon Gang] have 30 members!

Ryouma slowly raised his sword in front of the bandit.

''Ma. Wait! We're not just thieves! Zaruda's privateers! If you mess with us, the kingdom of Zaruda won't take kindly to you!

After listening to the bandit's rantings scattered around, Ryoma's mouth, which had been silent, opened.

'Are you an idiot? You?

What?

The bandit couldn't help but listen back to Ryoma's words, which had been silent until now.

''If I kill you, how do you know who killed you guys? You're going to die and then tell this Zaruda kingdom or something?

The bandit's face was stunned by Liangzhen's natural question.

''The dead can't do anything about it. And in any case, I'm not going to let you guys live.

The bandit's complexion changed as if he understood the meaning of Ryoma's words.

''Ya ... stop. Stop it. I have a daughter!''

The attitude of a villain is not much different in fiction and reality.
They bite the weak and take pity on the strong.
A protagonist in a light novel might hesitate, but unfortunately, Ryoma wasn't so lenient.

''I don't care if you have a child or not,''

He said without a single change in his face.

''Stop ... stop!

The man's face pulls up in fear.

Zash.

A merciless hammer was swung down over the bandit's head.

''Are you sure? It was so easy to get rid of it.

"? Is there a problem?

After sheathing her sword, Ryouma and Laura called out to her.
Apparently, Laura is the one who is most experienced in negotiating with these sisters.

You can't be sure of that. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.

No. To be honest, I'm not too interested. And I don't have anything to judge whether his words are true or not.

Judgmental?

A quizzical look crossed Laura's face.
Ryoma thought inwardly that he was a child who was easy to trust, but he never spoke of it.
In fact, Ryoma's way of thinking is close to distrust of people.

'I'm just not good-natured enough to believe the words of a thief like that. Well, it doesn't matter if he's telling the truth or not. ...By the way, sister, I'm glad you got him back in one piece.

Thank you, my dear. Master.

After saying that, the sisters hung their heads deeply.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

''Nope. That's fine, though. What's that master of yours? I was wondering about you earlier.

'You made a blood pact with us just now, didn't you? Since you've become our master, it's only natural to call you master.

A question mark comes to Ryojin's face.
After thinking about it for a bit, what popped into Ryoma's mind was the blood from the finger that he had just cut off at Laura's request.

The blood pact is that guy from earlier? I cut off my ring finger and mixed it with blood.

'Yes.'

Then Saara, who was behind Laura, came forward.

'Master. Would you be willing to make a blood pact with me as well?

Yes. Master, would you take a blood pact with Saara?

What the f*ck... what the f*ck is going on?

One after another, the conversation went on its own, and Ryoma looked as if he had been left alone.
Ryoma couldn't help but look up at the heavens.

'I'm sorry, but give me a break. I mean, Laura doesn't need to serve me either.

I don't know if Ryoma's words were really unexpected, but sadness appeared on the sisters' faces.

''Oh no. You don't like us?''

Tears appeared in Saara's eyes and Laura's expression clouded over.

'Nope. 'Not that.'

'No?'

The sisters looked up at Ryoma.
Their gazes, which could be called the most beautiful women in the world, stirred Ryoma's heart.
Ryoma suppressed his confused mind, swallowed his words of acceptance and asked, "You guys should wait for your master.

'Aren't you guys going to wait for the master? Here.

''Since we've made a blood pact, we don't have to listen to his orders,''

Laura said simply.

It's just that Saara is still bound by her binding spell, so she can't move from here. That's why we would like you to form a blood alliance with Saara as well.

''? Does that mean we can head into town?

"'Yes! If you will make a blood pact.

Their heads shake on their shields.

So be it. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it.
But I can't even leave them to die when I have the means to help them.
Ryoma said with one big sigh.

''I get it. For now, I'll make a blood pact with them. After that, we need to pack up the carriage and take our money and head to the town of Aru. If we head out now, we should be there around 8pm. But when we get to town, you'll have to explain exactly what's going on.

I'm sorry, sir.

The sisters' voices echoed through the forest as they smiled in relief.


After the blood pact with Saara, Ryoma returned to the carriage and inspected the items the bandits had laid out.

''Hey, hey. They look pretty expensive, don't they?''

In addition to a box full of gold coins, they found a number of jeweled hair ornaments and bangles, said to be sapphires and rubies.

'We dress our slaves up when we sell them,' he said. That way they look good and sell them for a higher price.

'Hmmm...'

Considering the size of the wagon that was attacked, there must have been around ten slaves.

'This gold was the price for selling off our people.

If you are as beautiful as Laura and her sisters, no wonder they were carrying such a large amount of gold as payment for it.
The sisters had tears in their eyes as they remembered their sold friends.

Gasa... Gasa... Paki...

The sound of trampling through the trees could be heard from deep in the forest as if to interrupt the conversation.

Laura. Sarah!

At the sound of Ryouma's voice, he pulled out the sword the sisters had prepared.
Of course, it was a sword stripped from the corpse of a bandit.
It's a pretty efficient formation for an impromptu one.

(A monster, huh? (Or is it the rest of the bandits?)


What came out of Ryoma's expectations was a human voice.

''Mister! Here it is!

A man came out onto the street, scrambling through the trees in the forest.
The man looked around and noticed the presence of Ryoma and his sisters.

'Oh! Where's the package? What's going on with the merchandise?

Three men in armor appeared after the man.
A voice came from behind it.

It seems the thieves have escaped. I'm guessing the luggage is not good enough. The product looks good. I'll be right here.

'What! d*mn you, Lola. You're alive. What do you think? Did you see any signs of defilement by the thieves? If it's made into a damaged item, the value will go down!

I don't think he's worried about it. I think he's in a little bit of trouble, though.

The man's gaze is directed at Ryoma and the other three.

''What! What do you mean?

Mister. I think it's safe to come over here for now.

Are you sure it's safe?

I can hear him stomping on the grass and trees as he says this.

(People?) (This)

It was not surprising that Ryouma thought.
It was a pig of about 170 in height and over 200 kilograms in weight.
It's not the kind of anko-shaped body seen in wrestlers, with fat on top of muscle, but one that looks like it's just accumulated fat due to lack of exercise and binge eating.
He looks like a merchant in an Arabian Nights movie with a sleeveless vest directly on his top, a turban on his head and white Arabian pants.

(Is this guy a slaver? With this, it's no wonder he ran away without Laura and the others...)

In a sense, Ryouma was convinced when he saw the pig that appeared in front of him.
Probably as soon as he was ambushed, he didn't care who he was and ran away with only himself and his surrounding guards.
Otherwise, it's unlikely that they would have been able to escape the thieves' blades with their obese bodies.

The two of you are safe. I thought the bandits had defiled you and killed you or taken you away!

I said and walked up to my sisters.

'Don't come!'

Saara's sword is pointed at the slavers.

'I will stab you if you come close!'

But the slavers and the men in their guards smiled mockingly at him.

"Mister. The young lady has a lot of muscle.

Oh, yes. You've lost your edge as a slave. Did we let you down too much?

Hey, little girl. In case you've forgotten, your husband over here is your owner. You are the owners of this
belongings. What do you think you're doing, turning your sword mainly on your belongings?

Shut up! We are no longer your property!

"Gah-ha-ha. You're mistaken, aren't you? You are mine. I spent five years polishing your precious cargo.

You ran away from us.

Isn't it obvious? There is no point in me dying because of my obsession with the product. But the goods I threw away are now here, where they were found. What's the harm in picking them up again?

Ryoma felt more disgusted than angry at the slaver and his guards, who didn't seem to take offense at all.

''Well, well. Mister. Leave this to us, please.

''That's right. You can't use them without the Lord, no matter how strong they are.

It seems that they don't think that Laura and the other sisters have become able to use their powers.
Five to three.
The only thing we need to do is defeat the slavers and we'll take care of the rest.

It's probably because that young man over there blew something into them that they're getting carried away.

When I said that, their eyes turned to Ryoma.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm not going to be the only one. Well, it's a good thing. The attack by the bandits cost us a lot of money. The more slaves you have, the better. Hey! I want that boy alive, too. He's got a good physique. I'll sell him as a labor slave........

The slave-trader's neck had been pierced by a shiny silver ring before he knew it.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
The guards around him were upset.

(Fool. You talk too much.)

To continue talking while showing clear hostility to your opponent is just foolishness in the eyes of Ryoma.

(It's like going out of your way to create an opening to be attacked...)

A mockery of the dead pig spreads in a corner of Ryouma's mind.
But now the battle is on.
Ryoma shuts down his contempt and does what he has to do now.

"Now!

The two beside him jumped forward in response to Ryoma's voice.
As Laura and Saara slipped past Ryoma's side, they attacked the guards, who were upset and not ready for battle.

(Just as I thought.)

Just as Ryoma had imagined, the results unfolded in front of him.

The sisters' swords had their own characteristics.
Laura's sword was a sword of power.
The moment the sword wielded at high speed collided with the swung opponent's sword, it would snap the opponent's sword from its base and be sucked into the man's head at the same speed.
Saara's sword is a sword of skill.
It engulfs the opponent's sword as it comes at you and pierces the opponent's throat as it is.

"Wha.......why the power!

In the blink of an eye, the guards were cut down by the sisters' swords in the blink of an eye after a momentary attack.
Only the man who came out to the street first was left in front of Ryoma.

''Humph!''

The sisters' eyes flashed with a ruthless light that pierced the surviving guards.

''Wait........oy.''

He finally understood the situation he was in.
I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it.

'Wait, why? How can you use your powers? You have no use for it without a Lord!

The sisters smiled mockingly at the guard's words.
Likewise, they were not caught off guard at all.
Their entire bodies are filled with qi, and they are poised to react instantly if the guards attack them.

''This one is our master!

The sisters poured their gaze over Ryojin.

''Ridiculous. A slave can't just form a blood pact with a master etc.........''

'We knew from an early age how to form a blood alliance. It was handed down to us by our father.

The guard's face changes at Saara's words.

'What! Then why all this time!

I don't have to explain myself to you.

Ryoma slowly approached the man as he listened to Laura's words.

'Kuh. Shit! Remember that!

The man took one last gamble.
He saw that the odds were stacked against him and ran away.

(Not a bad decision ... but it failed.)

Ryoma muttered in his mind as he looked at the escaping man's back.
Instead of jumping into the forest, the man started running down the street.
There are monsters in the forest.
I'm sure it's because he was afraid of it, but that decision made the man's life disappear.


Ryoma took out his Chakram and threw it at the back of the man's head.

Phong.

gosh

The sound of the Warring Wheel 《Chakram》 slashing through the wind was followed by the dull sound of slicing bone.

Well. I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but for now, let's get you to the town of Aru, and then we'll talk. We'll talk afterwards.

Ryoma retrieved the Chakram and said to the two men.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of this.

(A little help for people, but it's going to be a pain in the ass.......)

Ryojin sighed as he looked behind him at the two men who adored Ryojin as their Lord.
