"Omela, get in the mood! Kill him."

The bandits who caught me stormed from the front, fearlessly, into an order like the anger of the leader. The bandits who intercept it also raised their anger and oddity, and the two bandits collided. The sand became noisy with the sound of a sword trident and the voices of both wild men.

Two bandits antagonized for a moment. But the scale quickly showed inclination. with two factors.

The first factor is whether the bandits on the other side are used to the terrain of desert or move better than the bandits on this side. There's nothing strange about the movement when it comes to different mobility. Meanwhile, the bandits who caught me didn't seem to be able to move as much as they thought they were being taken by the sand. He's falling out of balance, falling where there's nothing, or buttering just dashing at his full strength.

And another factor. One of the bandits on the other side achieves particularly remarkable results. Clarified, he was special. Is that the leader on the other side?

The man alone had defeated as many as half of the men.

A move that clearly sets a line with the rest. There is no waste in refined sword muscles, and they move more than twice as fast as others. Besides, it looks like the demonic costume is wrapping another magical power around your body. It's also something invisible that you can't feel without magic sensing.

Is there such a strong bandit... you mean the world is just big?

I was working on destroying the cage, even as I followed the man's movements sideways like that. And then it rushes step by step.

That's a bad opponent.

Whatever you think, losing is the bandits who caught me, and if they win, I'm sure the kids, including me, will be sold to them instead.

Even then, things haven't changed much since just now. What changes is that it becomes more difficult to escape. Honestly, I don't think I can run off with this chain on the other side of the head-like guy.

So I was in a hurry. We need to break this fast.

With me in such a hurry, the bandits were in the lead.

But you don't have to look at the results. Already the companions have fallen on the sand and only one old man of the leader has stood. By and large there are still dozens of them on the other side.

"Damn, gah, gah, gah, gah."

The leader's grandmother dares to storm ready to abandon herself to the other leader. But even that blow of readiness to abandon never reached the leader.

She is struck with a beautiful corpse and is struck in the stomach. It was a light, wasteless move. That's the only thing that gives a glimpse of a man's strength. I'm not happy as far as I'm concerned. The fact is...

Grandma couldn't stand the shock on her belly, she suppressed her belly and spit bitterly.

Come on, old man! Just a little more, just a little more stomping on me!

I supported Grandma from the bottom of my heart as she finally kicked and bent into a broken cage stick in two.

Stand up. Please, stand up! Stand up, old man.

That's how my prayers worked out, Grandma gets up flirtatious.

And towards the other leader,

"We'll get under you. So just save my life."

Don't you have any pride?

I sweat cold into even worse situations.

Oh, come on, what are we gonna do? Things are getting worse and worse...

Gun, gum, gum, gum, gum, gum, gum.

As I kicked the fence with my legs, I wondered if there was any way to prolong the fight a little longer. And today I flashed fast just because I was flashing.

"Ahhh! Your old man's leader is after you from the other man's back!

Everyone turned in the direction of Grandma at the same time to the cry of that lie.

Sorry, old man. Buy me some more time.

Meanwhile, the granny who was wronged is desperate. Shake your head desperately to show that you have no hostility. And he fingered and yelled at me trying to get out of an empty cage about the size of one child in that slight gap.

"That's him! That kid lied to me! To buy myself time to escape! Please, kill that busty kid! We were scattered by that kid!

I don't need to...

But it's too late. If you fly out of the sky, you win this one.

All right, let's run!

Gasha.

"Yeah?"

Weird. I'm not moving on. Again.

Gasha.

Is that it?

I looked back wondering, and I was caught in a cage stick with a broken chain that leads out of my shackles.

"Damn! What a time...!

I rushed back to the cage. And trying to pull the chain apart,

"Wait, boy! It would be inconvenient to keep it chained!

I stopped moving.

What? You're not letting me get away with this?

Sure, having chains gets in the way... really?

No, even a lie is possible...

I got lost. Should we keep running, or should we believe the man's words?

But you've understood my mood like that, the man goes into more understandable behavior.

"Hey, man, where's the key there?

"Uh-huh?

"The key. Where are the keys?

The old man, who had just been interrogated by a man who had been beaten without a hand or leg, rushed out to retrieve the key.

"Or this is the key. But if you let that kid go free, it's dangerous. As you can see, he's like a freaking transformer, isn't he?

"Just lend it. I'm not a slave trader."

When the man was forced to take the key from his grandmother, he didn't try to get close to me, only threw the key away. The key that flew in was stunningly in my hand. And I plugged it right into the keyhole.

Gachari

The shackles came off after making such a noise. Shackles as well.

Freed hands and feet. And most importantly,

"Demon Blast"

Returned magic.

I chewed on my liberated joy as I watched the cage collapse.

And when I hold my fist in a good way...

"Bring me some water."

It shouted for its original purpose.

"The water you drink when your throat is crisp is better than the finest drink! Hey, you think so? Grandma."

"That's why you do it. You don't hesitate to drink the water you take from people, so you're good for bandits."

Grandma was staring resentfully at me drinking the water she'd taken away.

"Don't look at me like that, old man. I'm satisfied now, so I'll give it back. We had a lot going on, but now we're gonna water it all up. Just water."

"There's something you can't give me back, but what's that Dassai father gag? I don't think I'd want to go ahead that year."

"Ugh, let it go!

You don't have to tell me that. I was embarrassed by what I said after I said it...!

"Boy, will you come a little?

When my old man and I were talking, there was someone who called me.

The person was a slightly silver-haired or sloppy man. He's tall, sloppy, but in a generally guttered shape. The outfit is dressed in a dirty bandana with a hood that can hide the entire body.

This man is the leader of the other side who freed me from the chain earlier. I don't have a name yet. No, I didn't ask.

"I'm Ray. Thank you for your help, chief."

"I am Luxeria. Ray, the kids aren't scared to talk. Those who are about to become the same slaves may open their hearts. Why don't you tell him we're not going to do any harm?

Apparently his name is Luxeria. Luxeria seems to have relied on me to deal with the kids who still don't try to get out of the cage.

I need to return the favor of having the chain untied. Let's work together happily.

"Okay. You're just as terrible and alert as I am."

"It's either us or us when it comes to Ome, isn't it? It was terrible."

I told him to pour it into the water but he persistently ignored the old man holding it in his roots, and I spoke to the kids instead of the bandits who creepy laughed at the kids with a squid face.

"Hey."

Four children were placed in one cage. That's probably because I was the only one who kept it from having any negative effects on me. The children were trembling at each other. He seems very frightened.

I spoke to such frightened children with a handsome, gorgeous face.

But even with this handsome face, I couldn't open my children's hearts. Children staring at this one with frightened eyes like abusive dogs. He was also rounding his guard against me.

I'm weak...

We can't even talk until we're a little more alert.

"Animals"

I cast my magic. I thought the kids would be attacked by magic, with a stronger expression.

But this is not the magic to attack.

The first thing that showed up was a water bird. Then, horses, elephants, dogs, cats and one after the other, water shapes the appearance of animals.

"Rest assured, this is not magic to attack. It's magic to play like this."

I stroked the animals on behalf of the children who were still unaware. Along with that, my precise magic manipulation moves the animals in such a way that they feel comfortable and caressed.

The movement stimulates the curiosity of the children.

"Do you want to touch it?

Ask the boy who seems most curious so gently. Then the boy looked around like he was lost and then slowly reached out to the dog.

Lower your dog's head slightly to match it and use your actor skills to play the dog. Pelo and tongued out, stroking the boy's hand, the boy glanced and laughed. Seeing that, the other children reached out to the dog.

It was fast after that. Besides the dogs, I played with the kids who showed interest. The children kept smiling and playing when they returned to their childhood hearts to the animals making a lively move as if they were real.

And when the animals returned to just water, there were already no shards of fright left. Instead he looked sad and stared at me.

"It's okay. They're tired, so they just went back to their world. If I call you, I'll see you again."

When they hear it, the kids shine their faces with their dads.

Well, the vigilance has been lifted. Let's get down to business.

"Don't you want to go outside?

"... I want out, but I'm scared"

You seem to have broken your guard against me, but once you calm down, you seem to have remembered your fear of the bandits.

"It's okay. Those people are good people. My face is scary though. And if anything happens, I'll protect you."

"Your brother?

"Oh. I look like this, I'm pretty strong, huh?

To try, I broke the chain of girls I'd been asking. And I smiled warmly at the kids.

"It's okay, I'll protect you."

"Yeah!"

Did my demonstration go well, the kids followed me out of the cage. However, the fear doesn't seem to change, so try to hide behind my back...

"Mr. Chief, I did what you were told. So, what do we do?

"I don't mind if you like it. Except we're bandits. I'm not sending you back where you belonged. Choose whether to come home on their own feet or as a bandit apprentice."

Yes, I said something terribly cold for the kids, Luxeria. I knew at a glance that there was a firm will in its eyes and that it would not respond to persuasion.

I felt the hands of the kids clinging to my back getting stronger. I took it and dared to ask.

"Ask just in case. So, as a band of bandits, you're not gonna give us back where we used to be?

"That's right. I don't care if you think it's irresponsible to bring him here. But thank you for just letting me go. You were meant to end your lives as slaves. If you want to go home, I'll give you a ride to the nearby city. But we're on our own from there. I just don't think I can live in the city with the kids alone."

Luxeria preaches the difficulty of choosing to go home, as if to threaten us. I mean, isn't this synonymous with what you're saying about being a bandit if you want to live?

One makes two impossible choices and the other. So the kids will be under the illusion that they have become bandits themselves.

Until then when it comes to evil. But the other guy is a bandit. There's no point in saying that. Should I consider myself lucky to have just been released, as this man put it?

"What do we do? I don't mind either, but make up your mind. I don't have time. If you can't decide, you'll leave it like this..."

Luxeria hastened our choice. The children were visibly dilapidated and in trouble. He looks at me like he's asking for help.

Well, what do we do?

I don't mind leaving it like this. But the problem is these kids. It's not sneaky to keep bandits like this. That's why if we go back to the city, I'll have to deliver them.

A good man would choose the latter without hesitation. But I'm not a good guy with no bad news. Basically, I've lived honestly with my greed. So I failed, but can I move to help them here again?

Isn't that hypocrisy enough to satisfy my pride again?

So I got lost.

It makes me lie to say that I don't have sympathy for the kids for a few days when I see them. But when I think of one of Sarah's cases, I don't think it's a mistake to send them over.

Which is correct, I thought. But it's like I went on a journey because I didn't know that. I can't even get an answer.

I don't know how to use my powers. That's not what I'm talking about when I fight demons.

There is no will. I don't know what to do with it. So when I did it without darkness, I was supposed to wield my powers.

Until we are willing to do so, let's refrain from reckless behavior. Especially if it could make others like this shoulder their responsibilities.

I decided to leave it up to them to make their choice, without trying to keep an eye on the kids.

If they're going to be bandits, I won't stop them. But let's keep an eye on it for a while.

If you're going to the city, let's at least help. But I'm not sending it.

Yeah, I broke it off by pulling a step.

After a while of silence, the boy with the most curiosity opened his mouth, you guessed that I would not speak.

"I... will be a bandit. So when I grow up, I go home to my mothers."

The decision seemed best in this case. Of the children, it would be impossible to go back to where they were. But when you grow up, you can go home.

I thought it was a decision I could make because I was calmly accepting things. But on the other hand, I didn't think the leaders would allow it.

But the leader told the boy with a gentle face when he smiled.

"Right. I hope I can go home."

I don't know anymore.

I thought you weren't a bad person, but I don't know what you want. I don't know if you want to keep us company or leave us.

It seems that the boy's words have become the calling water for the other children, making one choice after the other. The way of the bandits. But he hasn't given up on going home.

And I was the only one left. After hearing the children's intentions, the leader asked me.

"Ray, what do you do?

"I will not be a bandit. But I'm worried about these kids, so I'll follow them."

I let myself through. Charstena may tell me I'm selfish again, but there was a line that I couldn't give up either.

"I didn't give you that option, though? If you're following me, you're a bandit. Otherwise I won't admit it."

"No, I'll admit it. I wish I was worth it.... Leader, why don't you make one deal with me?

"Deal?"

I had a deal with the leader. That's negotiating what I'm offering instead of putting me through.

"All you have to do is acquiesce in me following you. Instead, I'll offer you something. Hate, I don't have any money now, but I have a lot of things. If you need me, you can go buy some in the city. What do you say?"

Listen to my suggestion and the leader will look like an idea for a while. And I opened my mouth to see if my thoughts had come together.

"Sure, it's not a bad deal for us. But I can't get rid of the possibility that you're trying to locate Ajito."

"Then let's have a blood contract. If I divulge your aside, I'll die."

I responded instantly to a leader who turned a suspicious gaze.

Blood contract. It contracts with blood of confidence, the highest degree contract. It is not easy to rebel it.

Besides, punishment is death. The largest of the penalties used in blood contracts. The leader doubted his eyes that it was insane, such as entering into such a contract.

"We're going to suffer from understanding. Why don't you want to be a bandit until then? If you want to follow me, you can be a bandit, right?

"Hate, my profession is an adventurer. I'm not a bandit. My pride won't allow that."

This was the one called Unconceivable Line. I couldn't possibly approve any other position.

"... ok. I have many things that my pride does not allow. I guess you do, too. Just one. I'm sorry to hear that. Ray, you don't have the big premise to pass your demands. You don't even have the money, you don't even have what we have to offer, do you?

Looks like it's just a direction where we don't make deals. But what I'm saying is true, not because I don't like it.

So I was convinced that we could make a deal if we broke all the leader's arguments.

"Is that about the sword that was taken by the old man there? Or do you mean my favorite thigh-shaped stone?

"I don't know what the second one is, but your sword is already ours. There's a bandit. I don't want to give back what I took."

I see. Is that the front line of the leader? I heard on the line that I would take things as a bandit, but not anything else.

"I don't mind. Originally, instead of a broken sword of love. I don't even want to take it back. But it's too soon to decide that's all I have."

"What?"

"The world has strange skills."

Let's be flashy at times like this. You have to show my worth to the leader.

"Storage space open"

I designated the location around me and the leader, and I took out a large quantity of weapons. There are swords and spears, axes and shields, even bows and arrows. The variety is very diverse.

Those who were on the spot on the various weapons that emerged from nowhere peeled their eyes uniformly.

"Let's offer this first. All I don't need anymore, but you do, don't you?

"... fine. Let's make a deal"

The captain with his mouth raised and the niggling grin tied each other's right hands tight.
