The man with the eyepatch let out a sigh in amazement at the words of the bound man.
âAnd the corpses lying there are our men. Wizards are preciousâŠwhy are you still alive when the guys in the rear guard are dead?â
âItâs⊠that woman suddenly came from behindâŠâ
With those words, the man with the eyepatch who was ignoring me and Emilia turned his gaze towards me. Officially, it is to EmiliaâŠ.but.
âOh? Isnât she a beautyâŠ?â
The man with the eye patch stares at Emelia with a displeased look at first, but then gradually begins to wrinkle his brow, as if he has noticed something.
Emilia was glaring at the man with the eyepatch, expressing her displeasure.
But the reason these guys didnât lose their stubborn attitude was because this man was there. If so, he must be a very powerful man.
âCa-Captain?â
One of the bound men raises his voice, perhaps feeling that the man with the eyepatch is acting strangely.
âOi oi oi oi⊠I thought Iâve seen this woman somewhere, but isnât it Emilia from the âBattle Maidenâ?â
The other guys start to get noisy at the words of the man with the eyepatch.
âHmmâ
Emilia looks heartily displeased.
âŠâŠ something reminds me of when we just met.
Well, the name âBattle Maidenâ seems to be well known not only in Bastok but also in the royal capital, so it wouldnât be strange if someone like him knew about it.
In this world without photos, there are many celebrities who know their names but donât know what they actually look like.
âTch, isnât that bastard talking out of turn?â
The man with the eyepatch clicked his tongue and said something that bothered me. And looked around restlessly
ââŠHey, I canât seem to see the other members of âBattle Maidenâ, but is it really just you and that guy over there?â
He speaks of it as if he is wary of his surroundings.
âWhat does it matter?â
Emilia steps forward as she replies.
âHeh⊠thenâ
The man with the eyepatch pulls out the twin swords from his waist with a thin smile on his face.
âIf we can handle you, weâll get through this, I guess.â
âŠâŠthis guy I feel like Iâm not even in his line of sight.
âIâve been made a fool of. You think you can beat me and Gray?â
âWell, Iâm not so sure about that.â
The man with the eyepatch moves his line of sight.
At first glance, it looks like heâs just looking around, butâŠ
âEmilia.â
âOh. I know.â
I draw my sword and line up next to Emilia.
âOi oiâŠtwo against one for the leader of the âBattle Maidensâ?
âHuh! Itâs a mistake of three to two.â
When I say that, the man with the eye patch looks surprised for a moment.
At the same time, I run to the man with the eye patch and Emilia runs to the forest.
âShit! How long have you knownâŠâ
âKuku⊠Garbage always thinks the same way!â
The man with the eyepatch who catches my swinging sword with his twin swords.
âGgu!Itâs heavy⊠What the hell are you!â
âOh? You can tell by looking at me. Iâm an adventurer!â
The man with the eye patch flies back and distances himself from me.
âMost likely, you were going to let the guy in the back snipe and the other one was going to release the tied up guys, I guessâŠâ
When I say that much, a manâs scream resounds around.
âKuku⊠too bad, huh?â
âââââ
Emilia ran out and immediately spotted a man moving around the perimeter of the square.
Emilia decides that there is no point in keeping him alive and capturing him in this state, so she cuts him down before he raises his weapon and runs off to her next target.
The other man was aiming toward the square with his bow at the tree, so she picked up a stone from the ground at his feet and threw it at him. The man was startled, but did not take a direct hit, and fell down.
âWhat⊠what the âŠâŠ?â
Rubbing his back on the ground, the man looked up and saw Emilia swinging down her sword.
The man with the eyepatch thinks while sweating coldly in front of Gray, who has a vicious smile on his face. If both of his men had been killed, he thought, Emilia would be back soon.
I donât need to think about how hard it is just to face this man Gray in front of me, but I canât handle two against one.
Originally, the man with the eyepatch was going to have Gray sniped with a bow while he was stalling against Emilia, as Gray had read, and then let the other man free his captive friends.
And hold the children hostage.
âIf you resist any more, I canât guarantee the childrenâs lives, you know?â
I was going to utter those words. Cowardly and dirty are the words of a loser.
ButâŠ
âKuku⊠If you resist any further, I canât guarantee your life, can I?âIf you get caught, Iâll let you live until you give up the information.â
Hearing Grayâs line, the man with the eyepatch
(Oi oi⊠what kind of adventurer is this guy who fits such a vicious lineâŠ)
Thatâs what he thought. AndâŠ
âIâm done here.â
Emilia returns to the plaza at that moment.
(âŠI canât do it anymore. If itâs like this, even if itâs just meâŠ)
The man with the eyepatch takes a stone out of his pocket.
Gray, alarmed by the transfer stone, jumps forward, but soon realizes it is something else.
The man with the eyepatch throws the stone he took out into the air, and the stone emits intense light. And by the time the light subsided, the man with the eyepatch was nowhere to be seen.
