Around the settlement of Pawnsonia, Indigo, a commercial pedestrian, regretted "screwing up". Originally, he was also told by his wife, a pedestrian partner and partner in life, that it was dangerous. But he was getting high that he'd be okay. This is it.

"Hey, move. Bye. If you imitate something strange, you'll soon be gone."

Short swords poked at the tip of my nose are rusty, but as useful as killing Indigo would be.

I have lived outside the city as a pedestrian with Indigo. I had the confidence there in my arm. But —— not with this difference in numbers. There were nine opponents.

This was a plain along the street, but I didn't think bandits or anything could show up. More than a decade after Indigo started doing business using this street, there were no attempts to get bandits out.

It happened to be late to leave the city, and we were going to camp along the streets —— they attacked us there.

"Mm-hmm!!"

Pinch the bonfire and the other side.

Five younger wives are laid together by bandits. She was the one who claimed the camp was dangerous. The girlfriend has been bitten by a bandit's hand and her torso removed.

"Become!? Stop --"

Don't move.

"Guaaa!!"

Short sword pierced in the arm.

"Or did I give you all the money, all the merchandise!? That would save your life!

"I'll save your life. Only life."

Bandits laugh nasty. Indigo couldn't wait to hate these people. My wife, my beloved, is about to be defiled by these filthy folks --.

I'm sorry. I'm wasting a little time out of town without thinking too much about the danger. I can't believe I let that happen to you...!

Eat up your teeth. Should we fight back? Even if I die, should I reward this bandit with one arrow? Should I think that my life would help? What to do, what to do, what to do.

"Hmmm!?"

I hear my wife's voice, and I look at you with a hack.

Duh.

A man who was comfortable with his wife fell at the forefront. I wondered if he even bumped into his wife, but the way he fell also seemed to have broken the thread of the puppet.

"Hey, what's up?

My wife's hands, each leg has another bandit holding her body down. From the temples of the man, who suddenly stopped moving, the two watched the blood drip - its colour illuminated by the fireworks is blackish.

"Ah? --Grr"

"Fuck."

Likewise, the two bandits collapsed again.

"-- Raid! Be vigilant!!"

When a bandit with a sword pointed at Indigo shouted, he spotted Indigo with a bleeding arm.

"Holy shit! Your buddies are nasty!?"

"And I don't!

"This one."

The bandit waves a short sword down toward the round hips indigo. The blade, however, never reached Indigo.

There was a tall noise with Kim, and she blew away in an impossible direction.

"Well, who --"

Until something flew in and jumped the sword, the bandit also found out. But that's all I figured out. I felt a shock in the back of my head and the bandit let go of consciousness.

"Damn it!

"Are you all right!?"

I hug my wife, who has been released from custody, as she runs over. All the other bandits were silent while doing so.

"Yes, what the hell..."

"You, that!

There was a shadow slowly walking over here because my wife pointed to it. It seems luxurious to say adult men, boys, or women.

I couldn't tell because I was wearing a hood and had a "silver mask" on my face that only revealed my mouth.

"You don't seem to be safe... Did you get hurt?"

The voice belonged to the boy.

"Ko, if this is about it, just apply the wound pills and you'll be fine. Um, who are you...?

"It's good about me. More than that —— these thieves, are they just robbers?

"Probably..."

Do bandits often come out around here?

"That's not true! We've been doing business for a long time, but this is the first time we've encountered it."

"Yeah."

The boy, wearing a silver mask, kicked the falling bandit's head with his toe, Concon. There was no reaction.

"Ko, did you kill him?

"Stop."

Indigo stops his wife from asking too many questions of fear. Stirring up this boy's animosity here doesn't gain anything.

"Probably not dead. He could be dead, but he can't be bothered that far."

The boy told me to be nothing.

"More than that, thanks for helping out from the raid, but --"

"Oh, su, excuse me! Well, if it's money, you can have it there."

"No, I don't need money. Instead, you guys need more money, don't you? Looks like they broke the product."

Horses in carriages were killed during raids by bandits. It was a huge loss, even though it was my property. How much does it take to earn one horse?

"Yes... it is, of course"

Indigo nods, letting his wife come behind herself.

This boy says he doesn't need money. I wouldn't need the product any more. Indigo deals with essentials such as salt and groceries that cannot be picked in mountain settlements.

If so, I thought my wife —— a young woman, a cute wife from Indigo -- might be in danger.

"Uh, no, there's no such thing as what to do with your wife, so it's okay."

At that time, for some reason, the boy said in a crushed tone. That's why Indigo felt clapped out, too.

"Ah... is that right? Then what are you looking for..."

"I saved you because you were being attacked, so there's a problem?

"... because you are still a merchant. I don't trust you to work for free."

For some reason, the boy looked like he laughed.

"Well, I guess I'll get paid for my work."

Sakuraku, and Indigo swallow Tsuba.

A boy wearing a silver mask who so lightly suppressed a bandit raid. I don't seem to have any trouble with the money, and I have some reason to hide my face.

What does such a person demand from herself --.

"Give me the information. any information you know."

That's what the masked boy said.

"Phew...... man. I finally took a breath."

After waiting until dawn, Hikaru finally entered the city of Süssuerka.

The realm capital of the Pawnsonian kingdom of Gurguschrut. It is of course inferior compared to Wang Du, but much bigger and more prosperous compared to the satellite city of Wang Du, Pound.

As we entered the city, we were queued. They're taking a long time to ID him. I almost went inside on my own, hiding myself in "secrecy," usually, but I patiently queued up.

Indigo told me.

I keep records of people entering the city. Use your guild card. We also see information on guild cards to take inns in the city, so people who don't have "admission records" there will find out soon.

The "info" I heard quickly helped.

"'Compassion is not for people'. Glad I saved you."

Hikaru, who fell asleep with the inn bed, thought of that.

It is a coincidence that we met where Indigo was being attacked. I saw him sticking to the merchant squad that said he was moving at night. The merchant squad was about to walk away pretending not to see it, saying, "I'm glad it's not ours," so only Hikaru came down and headed to save Indigo.

Either way, the bandits will get Indigo and his wife tied up in a tree and delivered it to the Süssuelka guards. You should be able to buy a new horse as long as you get out with a bandit bondage bounty.

"Well, and —— you've got a lot to think about. This city of strict precautions, and this kingdom..."

Hikaru took the guild card and looked at it.

Show "Soul Records" and not replicable. You can only use it yourself.

This world-specific technology that gives a "vocation" by "God" from its records.

"I could have just wandered into the king and just left..."

Hikaru touched the "Occupation" column at his fingertips.

There were new and increased items.
