Chapter 1 E 17 - (Rescue) 2
On the third day after he gets summoned to another world.
Ryouma was on the south side of the forest.
A place where some girls and men figures can be seen.
The distance between them is 10 meters.
Because of the trees and leaves covering him, those men did not see Ryouma figure.
(Those bastards... are they going to rape those girls in the middle of a highway like this?)
Ryouma had thought that they would move toward a different location.
However, they seem to have the intention of doing it in the middle of the highway.
Although time has passed considerably since the time they raided the carriage, they didn't show any concern at all.
Even if this is a highway that passed through a forest, looking at their confidence one can only assume that they are abnormal.
(Just like beasts...)
Ryouma feeling disgusted by them, and then he felt uncomfortable about something.
However, he shakes off those thinking, and Ryouma waited patiently.
While hiding his furious anger and murderous intent.
At that time...
"Alright then. It's decided! What happen here will be a secret. After all, if the boss were to find out what had happened here, everyone here will get killed!"
The men's immediately nodded their head toward Gates words.
"Alright. Let us start by violating the blonde first!"
The man who holds the blonde haired girl said so.
"I'll go with the silver hair!"
Those men began to say anything they wanted.
"Oi? Gates what should we do?"
"Aan? Why not let them do whatever they want? As long I can get the first go with this silver hair, I don't care about the rest."
"Ah! Gates. How many selfish things are you going to say! It's obvious that I should be the first to go with the silver haired one!"
Maybe because they're craved for women so much, that they need to perform ugly argument first to decide their turn.
"Oi! The last one. You watch the surrounding. It seems like the guild currently organizes a task force, although I'm not worried since the Imperial army has not made their move yet, but, there might be someone come. Do keep watch properly! And you the second, hold the girl arm properly!"
The men obeyed Gates order.
(Is that guy the boss of the group?)
It's about time.
He starts to hold the chakram with a bit of power.
"Alright!"
The men start to lower their pants to take out his penis.
(Now! Die!)
The instant the men pinned down the girl, the chakram flew from Ryoma's hand toward the man called Gates.
"Guah-...!"
The chakram that Ryouma threw struck the back of Gates' head and he fall toward the girl body.
While keeping attention, Ryouma jumped out of the forest while shooting the second and third chakram.
He aimed at the men who hold down the girl's arm.
"Guaaa!"
"Gaaaah!"
The second chakram struck one of the man's throat, and the third chakram struck in between another man's eyebrows.
However, the fourth chakram missed the fourth target and flew overhead.
(Four more people.)
There's a reason why Ryouma did not make any move until the moment the girls are about to get violated.
And that reason is for the opponent to drop their armaments.
When a man tries to violate a woman, they will put down their pants.
And in the case of when they use clothes with the weapon on their waist, they have to take down their sword as well.
Since this time Ryouma has to win no matter what, he did not think about the girl's heart, or mind got wounded, and eventually waited right until they are about to get violated.
However, the result of that is quite satisfactory.
Since the man named Gates is the one lead the group, the rest immediately unable to cooperate with each other.
The two that tried to violate the girls removed their pants and weapon belt.
Thus it is impossible for them to immediately took a battle stance.
As there's quite a considerable distance from the person who keeps watch, Ryouma choose to attack the men's who hold down the girls.
"What? What happen?"
The man who watch over the highway unexpectedly noticed and immediately returned.
"You moron, where the fuck are you looking at while being a watcher! It's an attack!"
The thief who shouts has his eyes clouded with panic and anger.
"Who the fuck are you?!"
"Don't joke with us. Don't you know the name of [Red Moon group]?!"
Ryouma approaches the girls while ignoring the men who are running toward him in anger.
"You bastard! Do you want to die!"
The man who avoided the chakram stops holding the girl and pull out his sword.
He then brandishes his sword downward from above.
Ryouma sword then crashes midway with the sword that comes from above.
*Clank*
The sounds of iron clashes with each other resounded, and sparks scattered.
Between the sword that comes down.
And the sword that being raised.
The power of the sword that being raised won.
What the man aimed is Ryouma's head, however, what Ryouma aimed is the sword itself.
Although the sword is not getting blown, the man right hand were getting pushed backward.
*Gush*
A dull sound just like the sound of smashed watermelon resounded.
Ryouma sword smashed the man's head.
(Three people left!)
However, by now, the effect of a surprise attack have ended.
The other three people who previously stand quite far as a watcher, have come closing the gap while fully armed.
(Are you serious?... damn it!)
The battle turns into a stalemate.
For Ryouma, three full armed thieves are not a threat.
However, those three shows a sign of cooperation and shows no opening for Ryouma.
Ryouma then returned his sword to the sheath, then fixing his posture and waiting for the opponent to make a move.
They both continue looking at each other with hostility.
(If this keeps up, it would be bad... I guess I have no choice, do or die!)
Suddenly, Ryouma loosen up his stance, and erases his killing intent.
Naturally, his grip on the sword also loosens up.
And then, Ryouma slowly began walking toward the thieves.
Contrary to the battle just now, on his face he did not shows any anger or killing intent.
It as if he has the face of a living doll.
"S-Stop!"
"W-What are you?!"
His action surprises the thieves.
After all, he did not put any stance, and he has a lot of opening.
And just by looking, he can be killed just by a single blow.
Ryouma is unprotected enough to make them think of such.
Step by step...
One of the thieves unable to keep up any longer approaches Ryouma first.
"Fu...! Don't joke with me! Die!"
He makes a large swung downward toward Ryouma head.
*Fuu*
Ryouma rotate his body to the right side then,
*Zwuzz*
Fresh blood splashed from the thief's neck.
"Y-You bastard, what did you do?!"
With blood from the thief splashed on Ryouma face, the other thieves feel some fears as he keeps his face emotionless.
For Ryouma, if the three people were to attack together in cooperation, it would be hard.
However, thieves who get themselves a sense of impatience and fear will not have a chance of victory.
A sword is swaying in motion.
*Zashu*
*Slash*
Ryouma sword scythe horizontally toward one of the two remaining thieves torso who makes an opening
Then Ryouma slashed the last one vertically, and then he flicks his sword and returns it to the sheath.
"Fuuuu..."
Ryouma leaked deep sigh from his mouth and then looking around.
(For now, I'm able to manage it...)
Ryouma thought such a thing while checking the number of the corpses.
"E-... Excuse me?"
A voice appeared from behind him.
Ryouma turned back; then a silver haired girl approaches him.
"Ah! There's blood on your face."
The silver haired girl wipes the blood on Ryouma face using the clothes sleeves she wears.
"I'm sorry for not telling you this first. My name is Laura; I'm the elder sister."
"I'm the younger sister, Sara."
The blond haired girl told her name after the silver haired.
"I see, are you both alright?"
""Yes. Thank you for saving us.""
As they said that, both of them lowered their head.
"No. It was I who should apologize for letting you both to experience something like that. I should have come helped you both sooner..."
"That is not true, for this body not end up getting defiled is already good enough."
"Just like what my little sister said. No matter what you said, we are grateful for your help... thank you very much."
When Laura responded to Sara words, both of them lowered their head once again.
"When you put it like that, I also feel grateful...!"
Ryouma then looking at the girl once again and getting himself fascinated by their beauty.
Finely chiseled face with light brown skin.
Beautiful firm limbs, then her big breast that make even other women feel conscious.
She wears a clothes similar to that of an Arabian dancer; however, the collar on her neck and the handcuff stands out more, which looks awful.
(This is... Looking like this, it's no wonder the thieves losing their mind over them huh?)
However, Ryouma feel an uncomfortable feeling coming from the girls.
(What's going on? These girls look stronger than the thieves, you know?)
Looking at the way the girls move, and how they keep attention.
They should have a martial arts knowledge.
At least, he doesn't see them as someone who gets violated by these kinds of thieves.
"Emm...? Is something wrong?"
Laura who might have felt Ryouma gaze asked the question.
"Ah, no, I'm sorry. Something comes to my mind. By the way, what is your family name?"
"... A slave does not have a family name."
Due to Laura answer, Ryouma face cramped.
He had thought about such thing due to the collars and other things, but, to think that in this world slave exists, that's what he feels.
"Ah... I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize. Please don't mind it."
Despite saying that, shadows appear on their face.
Such delicate air flowed among the three people.
(Damn, I screwed up... I have heard something that I don't need to...)
Although his head understands it.
That was something which should not have been said.
However, he never comes across something like this previously.
No matter how much he thinks, he's unable to find any words to say.
Then it was Sara who suddenly broke the silence.
"Emm... Excuse me, but, may I ask your name?"
Because he had thought of a lot of things, he forgot to introduce his own self.
"Ah, yes, my name is Mikoshiba. Mikoshiba Ryouma..."
"Mikoshiba-sama.... Mikoshiba-sama. Please let me thank you once again. This time, we're truly have been saved, thank you very much."
As she said that, the two of them lowered their head.
"No. Anyway, what are you guys going to do after this, do you want me to escort you to Aru town?"
However, what surprised Ryouma is their answer.
"No... I'm very sorry. We cannot move from this place without master orders."
Due to such unexpected answer, Ryouma brains get halted.
Looking at the two of them, it does not seems to be a joke.
Ryouma timidly asked the two of them.
"... Are you, serious?"
"Yes!"
The two girls nodded at the same time.
"That master of yours, where are they?"
He tried to look around in case that their master died due to the thieves attack or his surprise attack, however, looking around and judging from the corpse, the person in question don't seem to be here.
"At the time when the thieve attacked, the master ran away with the escort guard."
Toward Sara's words, Ryouma feel amazed.
He never thought that they would still be willing to wait for the command of their master who runs away leaving them.
"Let me ask you once again? Your master ran away and left you behind?"
"Yes."
"And you're still going to stay here?"
"Yes. If there's no order from the master, we cannot move."
(Oi oi... are you serious?)
To be honest, he felt that this has become quite a troublesome development.
Ryouma actually want to bring them to the next town while then immediately says goodbye.
Since there's still the matter regarding the empire pursuers.
However, it is impossible for him to do so, since they both say, they won't move.
(Well, I guess, I have no choice huh?. I can only leave some food and a night camping preparation for them...)
Ryouma who knows that the girl's intention won't change instructed the girls to prepare for the night.
Of course he feels bad to leave the two girls in the forest like this; however, he also has no time to care for them forever either.
(Well, I will help them as far as I can.)
Ryouma instructed Laura and Sara to prepare for the night, while Ryouma carries the dead body of the thieves and some who appears to be an escort guard.
However, an unexpected situation happen.
Ryouma that is in the middle of carrying the second dead body ten meters inside the wood heard the screaming voice of the girls.
(Isn't that Sara's voice?!)
Desperately trying to return to their position, Ryouma then saw a thief whose armor dyed in blood carried Sara under his arm while riding a horse.
"You bastard, don't think you can get away with this! After all, I remembered your face! I'll definitely chase after you and kill you!"
(Damn it! And I was sure that I had killed him!)
However, no matter how much Ryouma curses, nothing changes.
It appears that the thief who got slashed on the torso is about to get away while carrying Sara.
Ryouma grabbed one of the chakrams from the waist bag and ran toward the thief.
(Damn it. It's too far.)
And his view also getting hindered by the leaves and unable to run like usual because of the tree branches.
Although chakram is a powerful weapon, it has a single drawback.
The flying distance is short, unlike bow.
While a bow has an effective range of 120 meters, on the battlefield, a chakram only has 10 meters of effective range.
Although on the battlefield it's a compact weapon, its fighting range never gets better.
When Ryouma arrived at the girl's place, the thief had already left with the horse several tens of meters away.
"Damn it!"
He looked around for a horse; however, there's none.
In the first place, Ryouma is unable to ride a horse, thus, even if there's one, it would still be meaningless.
"Mikoshiba-sama!"
Did she get beaten because she tried to protect Sara?, some blood appears on the corner of Laura's mouth.
"It's fine. I will definitely do something!"
Laura shakes her head toward Ryouma who tried to assure her.
"No. I have a request!"
"A request?"
"Yes. I apologize but, Mikoshiba-sama, can you cut your ring finger?"
Ryouma who does not seems to understand Laura words get confused.
"What?"
However, her expression was serious.
"Please. There's no time!"
Being told with such pressure, Ryouma cuts a little of his left ring finger.
"Is this alright?"
"Yes!"
Borrowing Ryouma sword, Laura also cuts her left ring finger a little bit and then kneeling in front of him.
"O the great God of contract Hava. Listen to my oath."
(Is she... praying?)"
"My body, my soul, my heart, and my everything."
The words keep continuing despite Ryouma bewilderment.
"Everything I dedicated to my master!"
"Mikoshiba-sama. Please give me your left hand. "
Ryouma then offered his left hand as Laura told him.
"We pledge by the blood covenant. "
With Laura declaration, the two fingers overlap and the blood mixes.
At that moment a bright light appears from the collar on her neck.
Suddenly her collar crumbles without any sound, and the handcuff also detached.
"Alright, it seems it was a success. I need to hurry!"
Laura then moves her muscle body.
It feels like a steel muscle is inside the well rounded feminine body.
"Master. Please allow me to use my power."
Laura is asserting herself.
Ryouma who does not know what's going on due to her pressure nodded his head.
Laura who saw him do so, starting to cast a spell.
"O wind spirit Shilf. Respond to my request. Like the speed of the wind! Wind divine protection, wind protection!"
After Laura finishes her spell, a green light wrapped their bodies.
"Now then, Master. Let's get Sara back!"
