Chapter 3 – It’s Suddenly Falling
I rushed to the place where the people were gathered.
I saw a group of about five or six people, including a
Dirty-man who was holding a child while pointing a small knife.
There were also three other people, a man and two women who
were confronting them.
Th~this is… it appears as if the child has been kidnapped…
no, no, no, I can’t just jump to conclusions. Maybe the Dirty-man’s group are
the good guys here—
“Why’s there a brat in this kind of place? Well, whatever,
we can also sell him together with this child.” – Dirty-man
-- I don’t think so. Yep, they are the bad guys.
However, you know what, I wasn’t scared at all.
When on the mountain I would feel a little bit of danger
from the monsters there, but recently I can’t feel anything…
Hmm, I think they can manage somehow.
Those guys are not a big deal, such small fries. Even I have
a little confidence that I could handle it by myself. Of course, it was
impossible for me until just recently. But still, I can’t let my guard down.
Although I survived in the Mountain, I’m still an ordinary man. I have to
properly look at the opponent and be ready to move anytime-
“Heh!? What’s wrong brat, are you too scared to move? Hey!
Someone go catch that brat!” – Dirty-man
After the Dirty-man gave the command, a man, from his group,
full of scars came to approach me. Usually, this kind of opponent is strong,
right? Or not? I mean, maybe he is full of scars because he’s weak and gets
injured a lot. It must be hard, but I can’t feel sorry for him because he is a
bad guy.
While the Scarred-man approached, the group of three didn’t
spare a single glance at me. Apparently they are not interested in me and were
just staring at the child who was being held hostage.
Eh? Are they ignoring me? It’s not like that, right? They
must just be too preoccupied with the child, right?
I will stay here okay!! Let’s shake hands later…
Hmm, of the three people I think the woman in front is the
most approachable.
Let’s stop thinking unnecessary thoughts. I must not lose
sight of what’s in front of my eyes.
“Hey brat, if you don’t want to get hurt, just quietly
listen to what I say.” – Scarred-man
The moment Scarred-man tried to catch me. I disappeared from
his line of sight.
“Huh?” – Scarred-man
The Scarred-man has lost sight of me.
I appeared in front of the Dirty-man with the knife who was holding
the child. Once there, I smelled something stinky. You should properly wash
your body and wash your clothes! What if the child also becomes stinky because
of you?
“Hoi~hoo!” – Wazu
*Baki!* *Boki!*
I hit the Dirty-man’s hand which held the knife and pull the
child toward me. Eh? Just now I heard some strange sound, surely his hand it
not broken, right? It’s impossible, indeed…
“Gya~aaaa!” – Dirty-man
The Dirty-man is screaming,
I held the child between the dirty-man and those three
people. Oh, they noticed me. Finally they noticed me. I didn’t look in the
direction of the three people in particular, so I was late in realizing it.
Huh? These three people… have pointed ears?!
They’re Elves!
These people, and the child, are Elves. Do you understand the
situation now? This Dirty-man’s group tried to kidnap an Elf child to be sold
for gold to a slave dealer. Or maybe someone had been asking them secretly…
Either way, these weak guys are no match for Elves, even if
I just watch from the back.
Well… I have rescued the child. I wonder what I should do
now? It would be nice if we could talk, but what should we talk about?
Because I didn’t say anything, the two of the Elves were a
little flustered. This child also for some reason didn’t try to move away from
me, are you hurt somewhere? Dirty-man’s associates also began to make a ruckus
after seeing Dirty-man scream. The Elf, which seemed to be the leader, had rushed
to them in the interim.
“The enemy of mine listened to the sound of the wind which
called their death.” – Female Elf
Kiin—
Just like a blade, the wind flew to the Dirty-man’s group along
with a high-pitched sound for a brief moment. Caught off guard, their bodies
were slashed by the blades of wind. Their blood splashed and they were no
longer moving.
Ma~magic! It’s the first time I saw magic. If I’m not
mistaken, it put magic power into words to alter phenomena, right? Also, the
magic strength is dependent on their level. It’s so cool.
Oops, come to think of it, there is still the Scarred-man…
He was in a place that was a little away from us. Using this
opportunity he tried to escape so as not to receive the same fate as his
friends, but soon his life was scattered at the hands of the two other Elves.
I was looking at the scene in front of my eyes (of course, I
closed the child’s eyes with my hand so as to keep them from seeing it), I was
fascinated with magic I saw for the first time. I directed my gaze to the Elf
woman I thought was their leader.
She had a slender body with shining silver hair that
extended to her waist. On her hips, she was armed with jewelry-like knives and
at her back she was carrying a bow.
I think I was charmed by her.
Well, this is something that naturally happened without me
realizing it.
The silver-haired Elf woman turned around towards me.
“Thank you very much Stranger, you really helped us.” – Silver-haired
Elf
She said so with a thin smile blossoming on her face.
*Badump* The moment I saw her smile, I felt something jump
inside my chest.
