"....."
"Hey, idiot, what are you doing?! Hurry up and kill that guy and bring that sweet little girl to me!" The bandit leader called out to his companion while wetting his lips with his tongue.
He was looking at Eina with a lascivious face. 'Ehehe, such a fresh-looking girl. With a cute and gentle face. I will be enjoying tonight, like heaven. Hehehehe.' The leader's dirty thought.
"....."
After he called out, he noticed no reaction from his companion. Even after several seconds later, his companion still did not move.
His arm that holding the sword had stretched upward and did not continue to slash downward.
"???"
Question marks appeared on his head while he was frowning. "Tsk! What this jerk was doing?" He spat and muttered.
Another second later, they noticed a distortion in space near that companion who paused like an idiot.
Then something like hands had grabbed the idiot and his silhouette had vanished after, without a trace.
"???"
"....."
The leader of the bandit had a shock expression. Even Klaus who was standing in front of him had balled his eyes, with an idiot looking face. They stared in bewilderment from what they had seen seconds ago.
'What happened? And where that idiot go?'
The leader asked to no one but himself.
Even Klaus had the same thought and questioned as him.
None of them was able to make a move for several seconds. Until they heard the approaching footsteps of the young man and the girl.
"Bro, what is that? Why he suddenly stop when you extended your hand to him? And where that bad guy go? Why he suddenly disappeared?" Even his sister Eina was having the same questions.
"Hmm, who knows... Regardless, he is bad and was trying to hurt my cute sister. That is why — he disappeared." Yeman gently told his sister with a smile and rested his left hand on her head.
Eina smiled at him, "okay, bro!"
She was sure that her brother did something to that person the moment he raised his hand. But she could not tell how he did it or what he did. Maybe her brother awakened another awesome spell?
The two continued walking towards the other. If not because of his sister, he already killed that bandit. But Yeman didn't want the blood to spill in front of his sister. He didn't want something that might trigger her trauma.
Though...what awaits that bandit was worse than death.
Inside the Lord's Domain, the bandit had an ashen face. He could not move. And the surroundings suddenly changed. He had no idea what place he was currently in. But at the moment, he was being surrounded by shady looking people!
Kekekekeke!
Each of them was sending killing intent that caused his heart to forget beating for several seconds. He felt, these people, were the real deal murderer.
And for some reason, his body could not even move after that young man landed his left hand on his chest.
Seconds later,
"Clear the path!"
The bandit heard a little cute voice.
After that voice, the shady people that surround him immediately made a space for the person to pass by.
They were standing straight without making any movements. It seemed like some kind of big boss would be going to pass.
Then, he saw three fledglings with angel-like faces that were passing through the vacant space between the shady people.
They were carrying a framework of two wooden poles with a long piece of canvas slung between them.
The bandit was having a puzzled expression on his face.
"Is this the new arrival?" The fledgling in the middle of the three asked the people around like a certain boss.
"Yes, Miss Sky," one of the shady people replied obediently.
"Hm...okay so this one is the new specimen. Okay, tied him on the stretcher!"
Commanded by that same fledgling wearing a goth dress that suited her very well.
"Yes, Miss Sky!"
Some shady people replied.
He was tied on the stretcher like a mummy. He already could not move before, because of the unexplainable reason. But now it's worse, he was being tied on the wooden stretcher from head to toe.
He could only feel that he was being carried to who knows where while hearing cute little voices saying, 1-2-3...1-2-3...1-2-3...
...
WaaaAAAAAHHH-aaaaa-aaaa!!!!
After several minutes, he heard grieving human cries echoed. If based on the voices. He believed that they brought him in a place with enclosed space. Like, a tunnel or a cave.
"Elder, you've got a new sample from the lord."
The bandit heard that cute voice again, giving her report to the person she called an elder.
The bandit doesn't feel good after hearing the human cries.
"Fufu looks like the lord like sending gifts. I gladly accept."
And now, he heard a voice from an aged man.
'Wait, what are they saying? Specimen? Sample? Gift? And lord?"
WaaaaaAAAAAAAAHH-aaa—aaa!!!
Please kill me already-dy-dy!!!
He heard another cry echoed. And this time that person pleaded to end his life
The bandit gulped.
"After this, let's go to our house, and watch anime."
"A-nime?"
"Anime?"
"Yeah, the lord said it last time. We have something like a flat object in the house and many humans and animals, trees, mountains, and other things in there."
"Eh? A flat object? With many things in there?"
"Yes, yes!"
"....."
The bandit heard the fledglings discussing something he could not understand. But a moment later, he felt he was falling from a high place and followed by a thud.
After that he lost his consciousness.
The last thing he thought was, 'what kind of person they involve themselves?'
...
The leader of the bandits narrowed his eyes to the two young people walking slowly towards them.
There was no fear in the young man's face. And he was walking like taking a stroll in the plaza. But he could not feel strong magic energy in him.
The leader grinned. 'This young man was too arrogant!' He doesn't know what happened to that companion of him.
But if this young man thought that he could defeat him. Hehe! He was at the peak of silver. A rank that worth respecting. If he could obtain a magical pill. He was certain that he would break through to golden in no time. But sadly, a magic pill cost 10 or hundreds of gold coins. Which is hard to gain.
As the young man and girl become nearer and nearer, "Tsk! What are you guys waiting for! Go kill the guy and bring the little girl!" He shouted an order to his men.
His men seemed woken up from a nightmare. They jolted and strode towards the two young people approaching their direction.
"Kid, run away, they will be going to kill you! They are not good people! They are bandits!!!" Klaus doesn't know what happened to that other bandit awhile ago. But he needed to warn these two youngsters.
Then again, the two young people did not bother listening to him. They continued walking towards them. Klaus face changes color. From pale white to red then pale again.
He was gripping the hammer in front of him. His wife and daughter had paled faces. And his subordinates was already bloodied themselves.
"Heyaaaah! Die! Slash! Slash!" Hal shouted while sending a wave of magic energy from his sword.
But the bandit that his enemy was easily avoided them with a little twist of his body.
"Ehehe, you idiot, aim well, hehehe!" He was playing with Hal.
"Tsk, stop dodging, and fight me!" He leaped towards the bandit but he was met with three shining blades that materialized in the air and flew towards him.
"AhhhhhHHH!!!"
Ting! Ting! Ting!
"Hehehe!"
He used his sword to block the attacks. But another wave of shining blades fast approaching him.
"Gyaaahhh!"
He cried when one of the shining blades pierces his leg. He lost his balance and about to fall down when,
"Mr. Hal!!!"
He heard her voice calling his name. She was the daughter of Mr. Klaus. He had a crush on her for so long. But as the daughter of a person who helped him. He could not betray him.
So he hid his feelings from her, deep within his hurt. But after hearing her voice calling his name. He felt happy. Very very happy. He took a glance at her and saw her face with tears running down. He doesn't want...he doesn't want to make that face cryyyy!!!
He summoned his courage and braced himself not to fall down. He bore the pain he was feeling. And launch another attack.
He sent three consecutive magical waves, although the bandit successfully avoided all, but his next move was unexpected and caught the bandit off-guard.
He sent himself towards the enemy. And brandished his sword with all his might.
The bandit balled his eyes and his mouth agape.
Seeing his reaction, Hal strengthened his grip on the sword, and with all his strength...he swung the sword in hands towards the bandit's head.
"Diiieeee!!!" He shouted!
But unfortunately, the wide-open mouth turned into a grin.
"Hehe. You wish!" The bandit bends his knee and the sword passed through at hairsbreadth from his face. If he was a little late, his head would certainly fly away.
After missing his attack, his defense was wide open. Hal grimaced at his failure. It looks like, their gap in strength was just too wide.
He was only a bronze rank magician. While his enemy was at silver.
Really, even if he could kill this enemy, there were still more that left. So no matter the results, it was just a useless struggle of him.
"S-Sorry, Klay," he muttered the name of the girl he loves.
Klay was watching from inside the carriage through the window. She wanted to jump while shouting his name. But his mother was embracing her tightly.
The bandit did not waste time and swung his sword towards Hal's abdomen.
A moment later...
Thump! A figure was sent flying like a bowling ball and it rolled many times on the ground.
"Eh?"
They stared dumbfounded. The position where the bandits were supposed to be...a young man was standing with an outreach leg.
He kicked the bandit! Hal exclaimed.
After several seconds, the bandit was slowly pushing his body. He seemed dizzy as he was holding his head.
"W-Who the fuck..." he muttered and peered to his surroundings.
He looked at the reason why he was thrown away. In his position awhile ago, there was a young man standing while grinning at him. And a cute girl was peeking from behind him.
"W-Who are..." he supposed to ask him but he stopped, when he noticed something weird. He could not find his comrades around. Even their leader was gone.
Yeman seemed to read his puzzled face.
"Haha, don't worry, you will reunite with them sooner." After saying this, he slowly stepped towards the last bandit.
Hal was dumbfounded. He wondered who was this young man was.
He glanced around him and saw the stunned Mr. Klaus. With a face that likes seeing a ghost. He stood froze on his spot. Then he moves and amber towards Hal after a period of pausing.
"Mr. Klaus, are you okay?" Hal asked worriedly when Mr. Klaus neared him.
"W-We're saved," he did not answer him directly but stated with relief.
Hal was puzzled, and who was that young man.
"I see, good thing that nothing bad happened to you, although, you wounded yourself." Mr. Klaus added.
"Mr. Klaus, who is he? And where are the other bandits?" Hal asked pointed to Yeman's back.
"....."
Klaus was not able to answer.
"I don't know him. And the bandits...just look at him...you will find out later," he doesn't know how to answer his question so he pointed him to look at the young man.
"Eh?" Hal was having a skeptical look. But he followed what Mr. Klaus said and they were watching the young man walking slowly towards the bandit.
Hal noted that that person was too young.
"Cheh! Bigwords for someone who had low magical energy." The bandit spat. He really thought that this young man was strong enough because of that kicked power.
But after realizing the level of his magical energy. He noticed that this person was having very low magical energy.
That guy he was fighting with a while ago was even having more magical energy than this person.
Hal and Klaus were looking at the young man without averting their eyes.
The next second, the bandit stood up and sent 10 shining blades.
Hal stared with wide eyes. The bandit only using three shining blades while fighting him. So he really just playing with him huh.
The 10 shining blades hastily hovered towards the young man.
What happened next was an unforgettable scene in Hal's whole life.
That young man continued walking even with the approaching danger. But with a little movement of his body. Those 10 shining blades passed through without hitting him.
When he was at 15 steps distance from the enemy, his figure vanished and appeared in front of the bandit. The bandit were surprised. He was staring with wide eyes. Then the young man lifted him. After that, the space distorted. And some hands dragged the bandit in that distortion and gone.
The little girl with him ran then jumped at the young man while saying, "good job bro!"
Hal was stunned and Klaus was forcing a smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"....."
"Hey, idiot, what are you doing?! Hurry up and kill that guy and bring that sweet little girl to me!" The bandit leader called out to his companion while wetting his lips with his tongue.
He was looking at Eina with a lascivious face. 'Ehehe, such a fresh-looking girl. With a cute and gentle face. I will be enjoying tonight, like heaven. Hehehehe.' The leader's dirty thought.

Very very happy. He took a glance at her and saw her face with tears running down. He doesn't want...he doesn't want to make that face cryyyy!!!He summoned his courage and braced himself not to fall down. He bore the pain he was feeling. And launch another attack.He sent three consecutive magical waves, although the bandit successfully avoided all, but his next move was unexpected and caught the bandit off-guard.He sent himself towards the enemy. And brandished his sword with all his might.The bandit balled his eyes and his mouth agape.Seeing his reaction, Hal strengthened his grip on the sword, and with all his strength...he swung the sword in hands towards the bandit's head."Diiieeee!!!" He shouted!But unfortunately, the wide-open mouth turned into a grin."Hehe. You wish!" The bandit bends his knee and the sword passed through at hairsbreadth from his face. If he was a little late, his head would certainly fly away.After missing his attack, his defense was wide open. Hal grimaced at his failure. It looks like, their gap in strength was just too wide.He was only a bronze rank magician. While his enemy was at silver.Really, even if he could kill this enemy, there were still more that left. So no matter the results, it was just a useless struggle of him."S-Sorry, Klay," he muttered the name of the girl he loves.Klay was watching from inside the carriage through the window. She wanted to jump while shouting his name. But his mother was embracing her tightly.The bandit did not waste time and swung his sword towards Hal's abdomen.A moment later...Thump! A figure was sent flying like a bowling ball and it rolled many times on the ground."Eh?"They stared dumbfounded. The position where the bandits were supposed to be...a young man was standing with an outreach leg.He kicked the bandit! Hal exclaimed.After several seconds, the bandit was slowly pushing his body. He seemed dizzy as he was holding his head."W-Who the fuck..." he muttered and peered to his surroundings.He looked at the reason why he was thrown away. In his position awhile ago, there was a young man standing while grinning at him. And a cute girl was peeking from behind him."W-Who are..." he supposed to ask him but he stopped, when he noticed something weird. He could not find his comrades around. Even their leader was gone.Yeman seemed to read his puzzled face."Haha, don't worry, you will reunite with them sooner." After saying this, he slowly stepped towards the last bandit.Hal was dumbfounded. He wondered who was this young man was.He glanced around him and saw the stunned Mr. Klaus. With a face that likes seeing a ghost. He stood froze on his spot. Then he moves and amber towards Hal after a period of pausing."Mr. Klaus, are you okay?" Hal asked worriedly when Mr. Klaus neared him."W-We're saved," he did not answer him directly but stated with relief.Hal was puzzled, and who was that young man."I see, good thing that nothing bad happened to you, although, you wounded yourself." Mr. Klaus added."Mr. Klaus, who is he? And where are the other bandits?" Hal asked pointed to Yeman's back."....."Klaus was not able to answer."I don't know him. And the bandits...just look at him...you will find out later," he doesn't know how to answer his question so he pointed him to look at the young man."Eh?" Hal was having a skeptical look. But he followed what Mr. Klaus said and they were watching the young man walking slowly towards the bandit.Hal noted that that person was too young."Cheh! Bigwords for someone who had low magical energy." The bandit spat. He really thought that this young man was strong enough because of that kicked power. But after realizing the level of his magical energy. He noticed that this person was having very low magical energy.That guy he was fighting with a while ago was even having more magical energy than this person.Hal and Klaus were looking at the young man without averting their eyes.The next second, the bandit stood up and sent 10 shining blades.Hal stared with wide eyes. The bandit only using three shining blades while fighting him. So he really just playing with him huh. The 10 shining blades hastily hovered towards the young man.What happened next was an unforgettable scene in Hal's whole life.That young man continued walking even with the approaching danger. But with a little movement of his body. Those 10 shining blades passed through without hitting him.When he was at 15 steps distance from the enemy, his figure vanished and appeared in front of the bandit. The bandit were surprised. He was staring with wide eyes. Then the young man lifted him. After that, the space distorted. And some hands dragged the bandit in that distortion and gone.The little girl with him ran then jumped at the young man while saying, "good job bro!"Hal was stunned and Klaus was forcing a smile.
