“Slow”
I dodge by moving my body side ways.
Then I put my hand on his fist and hit it.
“Wha?!”
He fell to the ground face first.
Several murmurs could be heard from the surrounding people.
What? Never seen someone fall face first before?
“Ah! Kuma-san!”
“Ah… Anne-san… do you know what happened? Who is this bear guy?”
The girl with the red hair, Anne was waving her hand at me from the guild.
Anne walked out of the guild and approach me, followed by the other two girls.
Then she explained what was just happened inside of the guild.
It seemed this guy, Giulio is a pretty high ranked adventurer. He is A ranked.
He harassed the three girls by saying he will take them as a concubines and such, and even when he was rejected he forcefully took the girls hands and intended to drag them to his house.
A young man then stood up and tried to stop him, but as you can see… he is punched through the door, broke it, and laying unconscious on the ground.
Well well… does all high ranked adventurers act like this idiot here nowadays?
“You…*gohok* what ranked are you little girl?”
Giulio stood up whilst holding his stomach and distorting his face in pain.
Honestly… he is tough.
“D-ranked, and I’m a boy…”
“””Eh?!”””
The three girls and the surrounding people were shouting in surprise, and you! Myu! Don’t laugh!
I glared at Myu, and as soon as she saw my glare quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
“All of you thought that I am a girl all this time? is that why I was underestimated?”
“H-hoo? You are a boy huh… just when I wanted to take your hand as my concubine…”
This idiot is still going on about that?
“Didn’t you wanted to take these girls as concubine? You are an easy guy huh? Changing your target just like that~”
The girls face are showing disbelief, then changed to a look that were disgusted.
Calm down oy!, I’m not going to let you guys suffer by marrying him you know?
“Sorry bear man… but they are taken! I won’t let you take them!”
“””Eh?!”””
Once again, voices of surprise could be heard from the surroundings.
Especially from the girls. They are blushing… why? Even Rein went all ‘awawawa’.
And Myu over there… her face are full of shock. It’s quite funny.
{Whoo~ Kuma you are such a lady killer~}
Hey? What do you mean by that?
{Your taking them as your wives of course~ what else?}
Wives?
I didn’t say any-
Ah…
“Rein, Anne, Lia calm down! I didn’t meant it like that!”
I turned my face towards them and tried to explain what I meant earlier, but I was cut short.
“Not on my watch boy! The beautiful girls are all mine!”
He jumped straight and aimed his fist at me.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“Myu!”
“Y-yes!”
On my command Myu took the three girls to a safe distance.
Her movements are still sloppy, but it’s not bad.
Ah… she even tried to introduce her self to them in this situation…
She is also amazing in her own right.
I blocked the incoming fist, but sadly that wasn’t the only attack coming.
As soon as he landed, he fixed his posture and sent a kick to my stomach.
I countered by also sending a kick.
Our feet clashed with each other.
Without delay, I jumped and launched my fist towards his chin.
Even though I’m not that good at hand to hand combat my fist should still have a lot of power behind it, but he still managed to block it easily.
While still in the air I sent numerous punches and kicks while maintaining my airborne state using
“You are getting pushed back by a little boy! Why is that? bear guy?!
Along with every hit I sent and every hit I blocked I could feel tension welling up on my chest, the feeling that I got through fighting is always so amazing! I may be addicted to this…
‘Time to end this…Mii I’m going to try out
I told Mii that and received complain from her, telling that it’s too dangerous to try it out to a normal human. But I ignored it and decided to do it anyway. Because his body is tough.
I stopped my barrage and made a brief pose with my right hand on my hip and my left hand to the front.
Using
And the plan is to make multiple
Just when my hand almost made contact with his body, suddenly it shifted to the side, and he took hold of my hand.
“Ugh?!”
‘His grip is really strong!’
“Don’t get too cocky brat!!! Elemence!”
In a blink of an eye his hands are covered with Silver mist which then hardened, forming a gauntlet.
{Kuma! He is a
‘Damn it!’
With great force, he pulled and punched me towards one of the stalls on the roadside.
I felt something sharp penetrated my body along with the blunt force.
*Crash!!*
Because I concentrated on the pain too much, I crashed without being able to do anything.
‘Ah… it hurts…’
My stomach felt like its been gouged out… blood were coming out from the opened wound.
{Kuma! Are you okay?! There’s a stiletto on his gauntlet! Don’t los-}
‘I haven’t lost! Damn it! I let my guard down!’
Somehow, feelings of anger pour out from out of nowhere.
It felt like the lid on my emotion had been opened.
*pikun*
I felt a stinging hot pain on my chest.
It’s irritating.
But this felt familiar… how pleasant…
“
I got an urge to use a sword… my hand is itchy…
A grotesque looking sword handle started to form slowly on my hands. It has entrails and drops of blood all over it.
Normally I would be disgusted if I saw things like this, but why? Why do I feel elated with the thought of wielding this grotesque sword?
‘!&@^#&%@%@&’
Suddenly a tremendous pain vibrate through out my body.
“Gaaaaaaaaahk!?!?”
{Kuma?!}
“Gahk!!!… kehk..”
I felt like someone just gouged and stirred my head around…
The pain isn’t going away…
Huh?
‘la([:jhakowhhj:s’
‘Kill? if I kill him… this pain… go away? Hehehe… it will? Then… then…’
I felt as if my consciousness has faded little by little, and anything that remained felt extremely heavy.
Voices steadily filled my heads, they are all telling me to kill that guy… no… everyone…!
{Wait! Calm down! Don’t listen! Wake up!}
Mii’s voice was faint…
It’s like she was far away…
Maybe I should follow this desire… and rest…
{No!!! Wake up! Kuma wake up!}
I could feel Mii’s desperation…
Ah…
The last bit of my consciousness is… fading…
Fade… to the dark abyss below…
*********************************
“””Thank you for taking care of us, Graham-san.”””
“Don’t worry, it’s my pleasure, you guys take care of your self!”
Finally the day when we depart to the
“Oy Kuma! Here are the letters, the one on the left is for the
“Ah… thank you.”
He gave me two letters… even though I only need one. But I’ll accept it anyway.
Even though Sol had annoyed me sometimes… it was fun, he is really energetic for an old man… and knowledgeable too. I learned a few stuff from him in the art of adventuring.
*ting ting ting*
“Get on the ship, the last bell had ringed.”
Well it’s time to go.
“Have a safe trip!”
“Thank you once again Graham-san!”
“Thank you!”
Rein and Anne were saying their gratitude once again while waving their hands.
Lia waved her hand while looking like she was holding her tears Myu patted her back while saying ‘there there…’.
They have gotten closer these past two days, those four.
It’s a good thing.
Now…
“Oy! Old man! Get back to work! You are the guild’s master for god sake! I bet there are loads of papers need to be done on your office!”
“Oi! You brat~! Even when I save some time for-”
“When I get back… I will treat you to something delicious! You can bet your money on it!”
“Hahaha! Then I will hold on to your promise…! Take care!”
He waved his hands while laughing loudly.
Really… that energetic Old man…
“Well then… Myu…”
“*twitch* y-yes..?”
“Let’s start training~”
“N-nooo~ help me…”
I showed her a smile as I dragged her to the center deck.
I let her enjoyed her self and socialized with the girls these past two days.
And there’s no training either… so now is the time to let her catch up.
“Um… Kuma-san… does Myu really have to train here?”
Anne asked me with a worried face.
“Ye-yes! Do I real-”
“Yes she does, I can’t let her forget her training just because I let loose a little. If it’s not like that then she can’t be a first rate magician. And as a plus… there are only us here, so we won’t disturb anyone.”
This is not the season where people travel to other continent yet. So we got a really cheap price for the voyage and a wide ship to boot. It’s comfortable.
The three girls followed us and asked to also join the training, I hesitated at first since it’s a bit harsh for a new timer…
But since they insisted, I let them joined
What could go wrong right?.
After the training finished, we went back to our own respective room. It’s already evening.
They all looked so tired… but they said that they still wanted to continue tomorrow, well~ aren’t they resilient?
Now… since I’m already alone in my room…
“Mii…”
{Yeah? What is it?}
“What happened back then?”
