Seeing Sadashi and her baggage carriers’ sudden appearance left Arlen so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor. Rightfully so as the appearance of a guardian was exactly what they needed, hell if he knew they could summon a guardian he would have emptied the wine cellar. Well maybe not all of his wine -he still needs his drink after all-.
“Hay~, Onee-chan are you the guardian I was talking to before?” Carrie asked the horned elf.
“Yes, little one I am.” She answered with a soft smile as she crouched down to look at Carrie. “I really must thank you for the drinks child, they were really tasty.”
Pulling out a red cup Sadashi takes a big sip of the wine Carrie had sent her. Giggling the little white cat went over to her uncle beckoning him over. Snapping out of his brooding daze Arlen was immediately on guard again as he stared sharply at Sebastian.
“Pardon my rudeness but I need to ask for proof that you are what you say.” Arlen growled as he did his best to seem menacing, though it only elicited a smirk from Sadashi.
“Sure.” Sadashi said smirking as she began pulling up her shirt, deliberately taking her time as she exposed her toned stomach as she teased Arlen’s imagination.
“Wh-what are you doing!” Arlen spluttered as his face turned beat red while staring at Sadashi who was ‘ignoring’ his out bursts. “I didn't tell you to strip!”
Smiling at Arlen’s flustered outburst Sadashi giggled. “What are you talking about, you asked me for Identification didn’t you?”
“I DIDN’T TELL YOU TO STRIP!” He retorted as he covered a confused Carrie’s eyes who promptly began flailing.
“What are you talking about!?” Sadashi mercilessly teased as she did her best to sound incredulous. “Who said I was stripping you pervert!? I'm just showing you the our contract Seal!”
“OUR WHAT!!!?” Arlen shouted as his head started spinning as his blood rushed to his ‘head’. Staring at her belly Arlen began to make out the shape of the Moon Tree planted on shield crest there.
“What are you staring at so intently you pervert?” Sadashi said snidely as she enjoyed Arlen’s confusion. “What do you need a closer look at my body or are you going to pitch a tent elsewhere?”
“I uugh… sorry.” Arlen said in a small voice.
“What was that?” Sadashi asked as she pushed him into a corner.
“I’m sorry for my rudeness Guardian.” Arlen said gritting his teeth as he composed himself.
“It's fine I was the one teasing you.” Sadashi said as she smiled down at Arlen who seemed to just get what had happened. “Seriously don't worry about it being a little cautious is healthy!”
“*Cough* ahem! Well then my name is Arlen I am the head of this village, and this little one here is Carrie my niece and the one who summoned you.” He said as he uncovered the little girl’s eyes who didn’t look to pleased with her uncles antics.
“Well it's nice to meet you Arlen my name is Sadashi and this one here is my butler Sebastian!” The horned elf said cheerily introduced herself. “As you know I'm a Pure Ogre that was summoned to protect this village and act as a bodyguard by Carrie-chan~.”
Shaking his head Arlen sighed. “Well then the only thing left for us to do is introduce you to the council and show you around town!”
“Then it’s a date~!” Sadashi teased causing Arlen’s ears to turn red as Carrie looked up at them confused.
“Can I come to Onee-chan?” Carrie asked as she stared up at Sadashi with her innocent, heart melting eyes.
“Oh~, of course you can sweetie~!” Sadashi agreed before Arlen could say no, pulling precious little girl into her embrace.
Picking Carrie up Sadashi secretly sent her spiritual sense into the little girl's body, scanning her body for any abnormalities only to receive a nasty shock. It seems that one of Sadashi’s old wounds has reared its ugly head within this little girl.
“Frozen Heart Constitution!!!!?” Sadashi asked shocked as she noticed Carrie rapidly losing body heat.
Hearing Sadashi’s shout Arlen snapped around to look at her, a deadly seriously glint in his eyes as he closed in on her.
“What did you just say, Frozen Heart Constitution? Did you recognize Carrie’s condition? Do you have a way to cure her, if you can cure her I’ll give you anything!!!” Arlen said earnestly rambling off questions.
Seeing the man that was previously so flustered by her teasing become so serious startled even Sadashi.
“W-well yeah, I had a similar condition when I was young.” Sadashi said flustered by how close Arlen was standing to her. “It’s a condition where your body can’t produce any body heat and you rapidly lose energy, as for the treatment the only thing you need to do is keep warm and keep moving till you can’t move a muscle for every day till you reach age 12.”
“Really is that all?” Arlen asked relieved. “Thank you, what is it you want as payment again?”
“No just forget it I don't need anything for the treatment I can do it for free.” Sadashi said forcing a smile. “I'm all too aware of the pain brought by this condition. But that's besides the point, let's get going.”
*A few hours later*
Taking a stroll through the village Sadashi continued to take notes on the geography. The town's location wasn’t that bad and it shouldn’t be to hard to defend. The tall trees surrounding the town provided quite a bit of cover from arrows and magic, while the town's elevation gave invaders an uphill fight.
All that's left to make this place more defensible are a few trenches and fences. The only thing left for Sadashi to check was…
“Hay Arlen, can I test the guards before we meet the council?” Sadashi asked.
“Well we're meeting the council at the training grounds already so I might as well introduce you to the captain.” Arlen said as they turned into the training grounds where the guard captain was drilling his subordinates.
On training ground, there is every one of council except Zaor
Noticing their arrival the brown-haired captain signaled for the troops to stops the drills and came to greet them.
“Greetings chief I hope you've had a great day but what brings you here?” The captain asked with a short bow along with five of his subordinates, but that didn’t hide the glances they shot Sadashi’s way.
“Hello captain I came to see how you were doing as well as introduce the Guardian.” Arlen said with a rather straight-backed toun.
Picking up on her queue Sadashi stepped forward and introduced herself.
“Hello my name is Homura Sadashi, I was summoned by this little one as this village's Guardian.” She said as she pulled a shy Carrie into her embrace. “As for this imp, his name is Sebastian, my butler.”
Surprised the guard captain hastily introduced himself. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, esteemed Guardian, my name is Khiral I am the captain of the guards and these five are my direct subordinates. If there is anything you may need please don't hesitate to ask.”
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Seeing the two getting along well Arlen smiles as he tells them about Sadashi’s wishes.
“Listen Khiral, on our way here Sadashi said that she wanted to test the metal of you and the guards. I was hoping you would oblige.” Arlen said with a slight smile.
Hearing this the smile on Khiral’s face stiffened as he looked sadashi up and down.
“Hay who do you think you are, huh!!!?” Guard #1 shouted incredulously.
“What kind of head do you have on your shoulders to challenge us when you don't even have a weapon!!!?” Guard #2 said followed up.
“What do you think that just because you’re a Guardian that we’ll be polite!!!?” Guards #3-4 said after looking Sadashi up and down.
“What do you think you are going to do without a weapon, hu~? Flail at us with your bare hands?” Guard #2 said mockingly.
“That's right buddy I'm fighting with my hands you got a problem with that?” Sadashi said smiling as the hummer drained from the guard's faces.
Sensing the rapidly chilling mood and Sadashi’s subtly increasing bloodlust Khiral quickly apologized. “Esteemed Guardian I’m sorry for my subordinates rudeness, they have never encountered someone who fights empty-handed and are a little arrogant.”
“Hehehe~! There‘s no reason to be so stiff, just call me Sadashi.” Sadashi said pleased with Khiral’s response, but that didn’t quell her anger as she continued to taunt the guards. “Besides there’s nothing wrong with being confident with your strength so long as it doesn’t go to your head.”
“Then let's see if you can handle us shall we?” Guard #2 said with a disgusting grin.
*on the training ground*
“Are you sure you don’t want a weapon?” Guard #5 asked Sadashi concerned, as he stood in front of her.
“Oh come on get off that. There are masters in every field the fist is no different, if you're that concerned then let’s test this shall we?” Sadashi said with a playful grin.
Looking at her with a perplexed gaze the guard took the bait. “What do you propose?”
“Honestly the way you constantly underestimate me is getting a little insulting,” Sadashi said ash she released a little blood lust. “So to quash your doubts I’ll give you one strike to test my metal, just don’t squander it.”
“If you insist I’ll oblige just don’t regret it.” Guard #5 said as he readied his Halberd.
Raising his weapon the guard brought the axe blade down on Sadashi, swinging his halberd with exaggerated effort. With such a slow and clunky attack the guard had no doubts in his mind that Sadashi could dodge the attack.
Even if she had insulted there strength she was still an unarmed girl, even if she was overconfident there was no reason for him to really harm the girl. But to his surprise Sadashi didn’t even flinch as she saw the blade descend on her, only raising a hand to stop the blade.
Panicking the guard desperately pulled back trying to divert the blow but it was already too late. The halberd had already fallen into her hands as she caught the axe blade with her chi infused hand.
“See~?” Sadashi said with thinly veiled anger as she firmly held the halberd in place. “It's not healthy to swing a weapon with so little back bone, if your going to point this at some one then be ready to cut them down!”
*Slash*
As Sadashi’s gaze of shining red eye passed over the remaining guards raking over them like invisible swords. As like swords that would cut them down if they moved a single muscle out of line. Under her scanning gaze, the formulary cocky men were now trembling in there boots.
Satisfied Sadashi retracted her Killing Intent, but just as she did the men fell to the ground like dolls that had their strings cut.
Sighing Sadashi turned to the only man still standing, Khiral. “If your men can’t withstand this level of Killing Intent then you have four failures as guards.”
“I'm sorry my men aren't used to this kind of pressure,” Khiral said with a bitter smile. “As an apology for their ignorance, I won’t be holding back.”
“I wouldn’t accept anything else.” Sadashi said with a hungry smile.
Hearing Sadashi’s response Khiral didn’t waste any time as he sprung into action, launching his spear forward as he unleashed a skill.
“Tenfold Thrust!” He shouted as his spear released a red light as it formed into ten separate javalinns.
Seeing them approach Sadashi didn’t even try to dodge the incoming attack she just slaps away attacks in quick succession.
Seeing his skill beaten in a unique way gives quite surprise for Khiral but immediately sends three wind blades to Sadashi meanwhile he also used wind body on himself and dashes behind the Sadashi.
*Bang* with one punch Sadashi blast away the incoming wind blades away then she grabs Khiral's spear with one hand then rotates it while with her other she sends a punch to Khiral's face and stomps her foot on his leg.
Immediately Khira releases his spear and creates small wing bomb and throws to Sadashi. But Sadashi suddenly disappears and Khira felt something touches his head then loses his conscious.
Suddenly Sadashi reaches her hands on the left and right side of her then pulls towards her. On each of her hand two elves dressed in ranger armor wielding dagger and bow appears.
When the two know that they got detected by her they activates the trap that they placed under sadashi while she fighting they unleash their dagger thrusts at the same time using a skill called [cutting edge] that increases the sharpness of edged weapon by enhancing with mana.
Seeing the two daggers clad in faint blue light aims at her sides and magic traps under her, Sadashi didn't show any surprised expression. With a nonchalant face, Sadashi grabs the two ranger’s hoods twisted it two rangers start to choke by their own clothes meanwhile she surrounds her leg in chi and stops on the ground while taking a deep breath.
*Crack*
Cracked rune with two-layers appears under Sadashi's stomp and disappears into a ground. Sadashi drops fainted two rangers on the ground.
After watching the fight every elder agrees to Sadashi's power suddenly they hear sound of something breaks
*Ting*
When they see the direction of noise they see broken belt buckle of Sadashi drops on the ground with sound. Seeing her buckle drops on ground
"What weak belt buckle hey! Sebastian, you said this is made of steel!" said Sadashi with disappointed face
"Sorry Miss looks like I’ve seen wrong," said Sebastian then he gives new belt and steel boots to Sadashi
Noticing Sebastian giving her new steel boots Sadashi notices her steel boots also wrecked.
Everyone’s face at that moment: <( ⚆ _ ⚆ )>
