As they woke up, Shina’s group decided to have a meeting about an important subject which occurred last night when they came to the Inn.

Estiel : “ What should we do with him ? “ Estiel asked as she looked at a man tied with a rope, with one of his arms broken.

Eniel : “ Kill him. “ She directly answered

Shina : “ Even if he isn’t a good guy, he is still Fiona’s brother. I don’t really like the idea of killing him, but we can’t let him go either otherwise we will have an army chasing us to get her back. “

Wendres : “ Untie me ! Don’t you know who am I ?! Fiona, untie me this instant ! “ Wendres said as he glared at Fiona.

Shina : “ Geez… What are we gonna do with him ? “

Wendres : “ I am the demihuman’s prince ! You have the obligation to obey me ! “ He yelled as he looked at Shina and Eniel.

Nuya who was sitting beside Pan on Shina’s head started to have steam coming out of her head as she looked at Wendres.

Nuya : “ Shut up, you are far too noisy ! “ She said as she formed an ice chunk which she threw at Wendres face.

Wendres : “ GAHH, you… Don’t think you won’t be punished for it ! Once father will notice that I am taking too long, he’ll send an army to look for me. You won’t be able to escape so untie me and ‘maybe’ I‘ll forgive you. “ Wandres said as he looked down on the girls.

Nuya : “ He is faaaaaaar too noisy… Can’t I just freeze his mouth ? “ She asked as she let a sigh out.

Fiona : “ As long as he doesn’t die, it’s okay. “

Wendres : “ Fion-GUUUUH “

As Wendres tried to speak, Nuya froze everything from his chin to the bottom of his nose, leaving him only his nose to breathe.

Nuya : “ It’s finally quiet… Gonna take a nap. “ She said before going back to Pan‘s side.

Wendres who had his mouth frozen tried to break a part of the ice by hitting it against a wall, but Nuya’s ice didn’t have even a crack.

Back there in the dungeon, Nuya was able to even freeze A rank monsters, leaving them unable to move whatever they did, even when some with fire affinity tried to make it melt it wasn’t effective.

Kiel : “ Mistress, I have an idea. How about you strip him and throw him away without money in the forest ? “ Kiel telepathically said to Shina.

Shina : “ It’s the same as killing him, but it‘s worse. He’ll definitely die. “ She mentally answered.

Inkvir : “ Then we have no other choice than taking him with us. “

Estiel : “ Is it fine with you Fiona ? “ She asked Fiona as she was the closer one to Wendres.

Fiona : “ I am okay with this, but the problem will be that we will need to avoid the other travellers… But, are you sure about this ? “ Fiona asked them with a wry smile.

Estiel : “ About what ? “ She asked as she tilted her head.

Fiona : “ We don’t need to go see my father… “ When those words left her mouth, both Shina and Estiel’s eyes showed a glint of hatred.

Shina : “ If your father only ignored you, then it would be fine, although I would still feel the urge to hit him. But he just sold you as a slave to another country just for safety, moreover he sold his whole kingdom for this ! “

Estiel : “ I as well can’t forgive him… I know how it feels to be ignored, but he just went too far, we need to have a ‘talk’ with him. “

Seeing their expression, Fiona couldn’t help but show a slight smile as she thanked god for giving her such friends.

Shina : “ Then I am going to bring our breakfast, we already attracted the attention of many people because of him. “ Shina said before exiting the room.

*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

After going back to their travel toward Aorlan’s capital with Wendres who was tied and pulled by Inkvir with one hand as the friction between Wendres and the ground made many parts of his body bleed.

Inkvir openly showed his hatred for him and the royal family. Being a former knight, he was disgusted by the lack of pride and fidelity they showed towards their country.

As they were travelling, they saw some smoke rising in the sky not far from their locations. It was a large smoke as if something massive was burning, this tickled their curiosity.

Fiona : “ I wonder what is happening there. “ She said as she looked at the smoke not far away from them.

Shina : “ Let’s go take a look. “

As they arrived at the location, what they saw was a village burning with many fresh corpses of aged demihumans and a few male demihumans. Blood staining the ground, severed limbs, the corpse of men nailed to the walls.

Burnt corpse… Not a life was present.

Estiel : “ W-What happened there ? “ Estiel said as she looked at the poor state the village was in.

Fiona : “ Must be a slaver, they often target villages like these… “ Fiona said as tears flew across her cheeks.

Fiona : “ While my family is enjoying a safe live in the castle, this is how our citizens end… “

Estiel : “ Fiona… “ Estiel hugged Fiona as she started to cry.

Shina : “ The fire is still burning, they must have left a few minutes or hours ago. We can still save them. “ Shina said as she looked with a sharp glance at the trails left by horses and carts.

Inkvir : “ I’ll stay behind… Making graves for those poor souls.“

Fiona : “ Let’s go. “ She said as her eyes showed that she made a decision about something.

Only a few minutes after following the trails, the girls found an encampment of bandits with a dozen of carts full of cages with demihumans inside.

Shina : “ Here they are, let’s save them. “ She said as she slowly walked toward the bandits, followed by all of them.

The apparition of those four girl surprised the bandits, but in a good way.

Three of those girls were already really cute girls, Fiona’s long red hair and cute large eyes made her adorable, Eniel’s indifferent expression and the cold stare in her eyes gave them a strange enticing feeling.

As for Shina, her long silver and black hairs which were floating around attracted their stare and her heterochromia eyes which also gave off a tilt of purple made her bewitching, making them freeze as they stared at her.

Teen Demihuman : “ Hurry and escape ! “ A caged woman who seemed to be in her teens yelled to them, afraid of what would happen to them.

Bandit : “ Hurry and capture them, these ones will sell at a high price ! “ The bandit yelled as he ran to them, followed by four other men.

Teen Demihuman : “ What are you doing ? Hurry and run away ! “ The woman yelled again, in fact she wasn’t the only one yelling, most of the other demihumans were screaming, telling them to escape, but once again they didn’t move.

As they approached them, the girls didn’t slow down or even bother unsheathing their weapons.

Shina : “ Pan… Eat them. “ She said in an uncaring voice.

Pan who was laying on her head suddenly opened his golden eyes before jumping and transforming in front of Shina into a fifteen meters long dragon.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Before the bandits even had the time to raise a scream, Pan with a single bite ate the five bandits in an instant.

Teen Demihuman : “ T-This is… a dragon ?! “ The woman yelled as she was looking at Pan with a feeling of both fear and happiness.

She was terrified by the dragon, but at the same time she felt happy that it was eating the bandits who were trying to enslave them.

Bandit : “ It’s still a young one, we can wi-GAAAh “ The bandit let a cry out before finishing his sentence.

He wasn’t the only one who died at this moment, a dozen of them died pierced by a magic arrow fired by Fiona from afar.

The bandit who saw Fiona fire the magic arrow with her bow were stunned, the cute little girl who didn’t seem older than 6 years old was before them killing bandits one after another like it was nothing.

As the bandits were staring at her, something trivial brought them out of their thought, it was the rain.

But they felt that it was strange, there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, it was sunny… How could there be rain ?

As the bandits looked closer at what seemed to be rain, they realised it was not water but blood.

Suddenly a scream was heard behind them, as they turned back they saw a brown haired girl with an expressionless face standing surrounded by the sliced corpses of twenty bandits.

Her right and left swords were surrounded by two different purple auras, when the left one came in contact with something, it froze into a purple ice who seemed to spread as if it was a disease.

Only a slight contact from her left sword was enough to end a bandit’s life, but her right sword was for them far more terrifying than the left one.

Nothing could resist to her right sword, it simply cut through anything, whatever it was. But what was terrifying about it was that when it cut through someone’s body, blood flew out of it like a fountain. It was the origin of the bloody rain.

Half of the bandits were already killed within only thirty seconds, after this half minute, the atmosphere was blank, no one was even able to let a sound out.

The bandits recalling there were still two girls left looked around them, searching for them as they were afraid of their abilities as well.

Looking at the carts, they found Estiel who was with her light red sword cutting the cages cell bar, letting all the demihumans escape; but none of them even stepped outside as they were shocked by the display in front of them.

Merchant : “ Protect the merchandise ! “ An old man in red clothing shout to the bandits.

Shina : “ You should worry more about your life than your ‘merchandise’ “ Shina who was standing behind the man said in a cold voice.

She was surrounded by a malicious dark purple aura which was surrounding her like a flame.

The merchant who heard her cold voice tried to turn toward her, but as she touched his back, her purple aura wrapped around his body, making him freeze, unable to move anymore as the dark aura surrounded all his body.

Merchant : “ What are you doing ?! Help me ! “ The man yelled to the bandits.

This scene made the bandits who were watching her tremble from terror from her bloodlust, making them feel this horror even through their bones.

Bandit : “ R-RUN AWAY !! “ One of the bandit screamed as he started to run away soon followed by every bandits.

Merchant : “ WAIT ! DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE, I PAID YOU ! “ The merchant yelled as he was abandoned by the bandits.

Shina : “ Let them escape, there’s no need to chase after them. “ She said as Eniel was starting to chase after them.

Merchant : “ P-Please spare me… “ The man begged.

As Shina was looking at the merchant, for an instant a purple light shone in her eyes, the moment right after the purple aura started to dissolve the man’s clothes, rapidly turning them into dust.

Merchant : “ S-STOP, PLEASE STOP ! “

Shina : “ Even though I hate bandits… I despise slavers the most. “ She said as she callously looked at him before her dark aura totally engulfed the merchant.

Only a few seconds after, the aura dissipated and the merchant as well, leaving no trace behind.

After being done, Shina’s expression loosened and she looked at the demihumans which were imprisoned, they all had a terrified expression on their faces.

Shina’s expression froze as she turned toward Estiel, Fiona and Eniel, showing a face saying ‘I overdid it right ?’ which was answered by a small nod.

Shina : “ Geez… Hurry and go back to your village. “

The demihumans hurried out of the cages opened by Estiel and ran back toward their villages as quick as possible as they avoided Shina’s group as much as possible.

Only one demihuman stayed behind as she looked at them before prostrating before them, it was the young teenager which was telling them to escape.

Demihuman Teen : “ Thank you for your help ! “ She said as tears were running across her cheeks.

Shina : “ Hurry and return with your family. “ Shina said, patting her head with a smile.

Fiona : “ Don’t you think Shina was scary ? “ Fiona murmured to Estiel and Eniel.

Eniel : “ Is she receiving bad influence from someone ? “

Estiel : “ If she was, it would be from you… “ Estiel answered as she pointed to Eniel.

Eniel : “ Why... ? “ She asked as she tilted her head, unable to understand the reason.

Fiona : “ Eniel… You are always killing people and monster whoever they are and whenever you can happily, of course she’ll be influenced if she have a big sister like you. “

Eniel : “ I am only killing bad people and bad monsters. “ She simply answered as if it wasn’t her fault.

Estiel : “ What do you characterise as ‘bad people’ ? “

Eniel : “ People trying to kill me and Shina’s enemy. “ Eniel answered as if it was obvious.

Estiel : “ So as long as they are Shina’s enemy they are bad ? “

Eniel : “ Isn’t it obvious ? “

Fiona / Estiel : “ … “

Shina : “ Stop talking about me in my back please ! “ Shina yelled as she puffed her cheeks.

Fiona : “ Let’s go back to Inkvir and leave. “

Estiel : “ Wait… There’s someone left in this cage. “ She said as she pointed toward a small child dressed with only a ragged black cloak hiding it’s face and body.

Shina : “ Hey you, aren’t you returning to your village ? “ She asked as she walked toward him.

The child didn’t say anything and only stared at her with it’s large black eyes.

When Shina got close to the child, he jumped at her, hugging her body relanctly to let go. As Shina took a look under the cloak, she realized why he didn’t go back with the others.

The child under the black cloak wasn’t a demihuman, but a young demon.
