“Everyone stop! The… Stop for now!”

Neiva, greatly flustered, urgently made the soldiers lower their crossbows.

The man coughing and wheezing with a flushed face, and Pilmark who slowly walked out holding his neck with her arm!

“Move all yer lowlife bastards back! Otherwise… ya know what’ll happen, right?”

“Kehek, Kueup… Keck…” I coughed.

Pilmark glared fiercely at the knights with malicious eyes.

Even knights who had endured countless hardships flinched at the sight of that venomous glare.

“Just bear with it a little… got it? I’m sorry for hurtin’ ya… My heart also hurts, but there’s no other way if we’re to escape together…!” she whispered secretly into my ear.

“Ahgeuk… Ek…” I gasped.

But fuck! You were strangling my neck with an arm like concrete, did saying sorry make it okay?!

“You heinous bastard…! To lay hands on an innocent citizen! Are you even human after doing that!?”

Neiva poured out the anger that had risen to the top of her head without restraint, threatening Pilmark.

“Remove that hand right now! Cowardly bandit bastard, I will definitely kill you and personally send you to hell…!”

However, Pilmark and the bandit members, paying no mind to Neiva’s anger, held their daggers towards me and threatened the knights.

“I told ya to move back! If ya want to kill him, do it that way! Fine, I’ll first stab his thigh once!”

A dagger soared high above my head!

“A, No! Stop!”

“Captain…!”

“Damn it… Everyone, fall back. Hurry!”

Only then did Neiva order her subordinates to fall back.

The subordinates, while grinding their teeth fiercely and glaring at the bandits, followed Knight Captain Neiva’s words and slowly moved back. The bandit band slowly approached by the distance they retreated.

“That way! Move to the side! If ya don’t move quickly, I’ll definitely make a proper scar on this bastard’s face!”

“Ba… Back off! Everyone back!”

The situation was that the bandits they had almost caught were using cowardly tricks to create an escape route…

The knights were glaring at the bandits as if to kill them with fierce expressions, retreating backward!

“Hng… I don’t know about anything else… Just, please… let me wash with water a bit…” I pleaded.

Regardless of my maddening pain, the tense standoff continued all the way to the stream. Right there, the bandits, as planned, exchanged a brief signal and split into six, starting to flee in an instant.

“Don’t miss them! Chase them to the end!”

Driven by a firm resolve not to let them escape, the knights clung to the bandits, gripping their swords tightly. Not to be outdone, the bandits ran like mad to shake them off.

“You’re too fast! This is insane!”

In a situation where I could no longer see the other female bandits, I was being dragged along while placed on bandit boss Pilmark’s shoulder.

I was certain that even if I were in a Ferrari stepping all the way on the gas pedal, this speed wouldn’t be possible!

“Uwaaaaak!”

Wasn’t she running at a terrifying speed that had already surpassed the limits of a human being?

The tremendous wind scraped against my body, and the constantly changing scenery induced motion sickness.

“Ueup… Ueup…” I retched.

Thanks to the sharp wind, I was finally free from the pain of the Fiery Herb, but now the nausea from motion sickness was tormenting me.

“Pilmarkkkkk!”

Furthermore, the urgent situation where the terrifying face of the knight captain rushing from behind was gradually getting closer…!

“Hueuueuueuueup!”

Her sword began to glow blue.

-Tadat

Pilmark, noticing that light, immediately kicked off the ground and soared into the air.

‘What is this! What is it!’

My head felt dizzy from the feeling of being suspended next to a jet plane without a seatbelt.

Having soared up above the large trees that must have lived for over a hundred years, I felt the sensation of flying, though it was only for a fleeting moment.

Those movie characters like Superman or Batman probably couldn’t even process the sensation of speed or height properly in their brains.

They were insane. It was certain. They were all lunatics.

-Shuuuuuk

Beyond my dizzy head, Neiva’s sword energy grazed past me narrowly.

“F-fuckk…”

Unleashing sword energy was already absurd, but the most ridiculous part was that I was caught up in this insane battle.

And those lunatics were flying through the air, fighting like it was nothing?

It was something impossible to do without being insane.

-Thud

Back on the ground. Pilmark, without a moment to delay, kicked off the earth with her sturdy legs and ran with all her might. Of course, the knight captain also chased after her desperately.

“I-I’m sorry! I wasn’t aiming for that side!” Neiva yelled.

Seeing that she apologized to me even while doing that, she didn’t seem like a bad person, but I felt nauseous, so…

“Ugh… Uweeeck…”

“Ju-Just a moment!”

The knight captain, flustered by my sudden retching, quickly tried to change her path but stumbled and rolled over and over. Pilmark, not missing that fleeting gap, ran with increased speed and widened the distance.

“Well done, Delrin!”

Fuck… What was well done?

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 
“Huu… At least I caught my breath. They’re probably still followin’, but havin’ created this much distance, they won’t find us easily. Let’s rest here for a moment.”

Having finally gotten down from Pilmark’s shoulder, I couldn’t properly control my trembling legs and slumped onto the ground as if collapsing.

There was nothing I could do, having been exposed to the terrifying speed for a long time. For real.

“I’m sorry for the earlier. There was nothin’ I could do,” she said.

Insane. While my brain was still reeling, Pilmark hugged me and stroked my head.

“S-Stop…” I pleaded.

“It’s okay. I’ll protect ya. Ya don’t have to be scared,” she said.

Protect me? No, I was sorry, but the one who was scary was you!

Even though some affection had developed through sex, there was no need for her to protect me, so if she would just let me go now…

“Just stay by my side. Don’t worry about that crazy bitch. I’ll win. First, after takin’ ya to a safe place…”

Her eyes became sharp again. She was probably visualizing the confrontation with that knight in her imagination.

For now, more than her terrifying eyes, her words about taking me to some safe place felt more frightening. Still, since I was outside now…

“Save…”

“Huh? What? Save?” she asked.

“Ah… No. Just…”

“What… Were ya perhaps unsatisfied?”

“Yes?”

Her sharp gaze suddenly fixed on me.

“Were ya unsatisfied, I said?” she pressed.

At that terrifying pressure, I couldn’t utter a word and my whole body stiffened. Perhaps she didn’t notice my state, because she grabbed my shoulder tightly and thrust her face very close.

“Hey, Delrin. Tell me straight… do ya hate me?”

“That wasn’t it…! Rather than hating you, it’s just that various things are in a very ambiguous situation, so I can’t help it…” I stammered.

“Hey…”

She glared at me with her one remaining eye.

I clearly had two eyes, and she had only one…

But why was I losing the staring contest?

“Hey…”

“Yes…?”

“Choose one, yes or no.”

“Ah…”

Fuck… Asking questions was fine, but if you were fiddling with the dagger on your waist, how the hell could I say no?

“Th, That is…”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“Ye… Yes! It felt good!” I exclaimed.

It was fucked.

I didn’t have the courage to boldly say no to such blatant intimidation!

No, I had to survive first!

“Good. Of course, that’s right. Hmm… No. No. First, after shakin’ off the pursuit, let’s brand ya as a slave. I can’t feel at ease. Seein’ ya hesitate just now, I don’t have any faith in ya at all.”

Slave brand? Yes?

“Ju… Just a moment! What’s that supposed to mean? Slave brand?”

“What’s supposed to mean what? Even when I treat ya well, ya keep havin’ other thoughts, so there’s nothin’ else I can do. Just think of it as takin’ out insurance. And… I have no intention of tormentin’ ya with the slave brand or anythin’, so don’t worry. I’ll just use it to the extent of makin’ ya faint if ya try to escape.”

Fuck! What the hell was she talking about!

“That doesn’t mean I can just cut off yer two legs, does it? Right?”

Uh… Uh…?

“Ah…??”

“Other bandit kids, if they like someone, they’ll just tear off all their arms and legs, ya see. That way, they can’t escape, and they won’t resist…”

I had a premonition that I was seriously fucked.

No, I was certain of it.

I figured she was crazy from the moment she kidnapped me, but this was a complete lunatic among lunatics who had crossed the line very firmly.

I wanted to believe that I had heard her wrong just now, but seeing her casually glancing at my arms and legs, it didn’t seem like a lie.

“There’s nothin’ I can do. Ya know how I feel too, right?”

“Fuckk!! Save me!! She’s crazy!!”

I ran without looking back.

If I stayed by the side of such a crazy bitch for even a little longer, I didn’t know what worse things I would suffer.

The time I was being gang-raped by the group might even be considered better…

“Save me! Save me! Please, someone save me!”

When I was in my original world, even just stepping on the asphalt ground barefoot hurt terribly. But now, being cut by stones and rough grass on my feet, I didn’t even care about that pain.

“Save me! K-Knight! Knight! Knight Neiva! This way! Save me! There’s a bandit bastard here…!”

However, we all already knew.

For Pilmark, who had been running faster than most cars just a moment ago, chasing the footsteps of a mere man…

“I have to cut off yer legs, I see. Ya traitor bastard. I’ll leave yer arms. We still have to hug each other, ya see.”
