Chapter 12: The Civilization[Edited]

We were getting closer and closer to the town and could hear the hustle and bustle of the crowd, it seemed a very lively and active town. Houses entered our vision, and people ran everywhere. I didn't expect them to come to meet us, but they didn't even pay attention to us.

"Well, we get to civilization"

"Do you think so?"

Everyone was focused on their own work and shouting whit excitement, I wonder if it's a kind of festival... the decoration is the most extreme with flames on the houses and they were acting some performance with two sides, one chasing the other. I honestly believe that the script is a bit cliche.

"What strange festival don't you think so, Kurisu? Besides, even if they put a lot of feeling into it, wouldn't be a problem if the town burns if the fire gets out of control?"

"What the hell are you thinking? No matter how you look at it, the town is being attacked by bandits."

Well, you can also see it that way, am I wrong to think positively? It's not like we knew their customs. Then a mature woman in simple clothes giving the appearance of a villager approaches us followed by two men who do not seem to care about their hygiene.

"Are you carrying out some kind of festival?"

"H-help please"

I ask her to confirm while enduring Kurisu's gaze , the villager runs and stands behind us and the men who followed her set their sights on us.

" Wooh , we hit the jackpot. These are much better than every other I've seen in the town."

"I want the little girl, I like them to be more tender"

[Bang]

The second man who opened his mouth falls dead with a hole between the eyebrows, and the other freeze looking at the gun that release and shoot.

"H- Hey, what's up, get up, didn't you want the little girl?"

"Don't waste your words, he can only listen to God now. But don't worry, I will send you along with him seeing how much you worry for him"

Finishing my words I aim my gun and kill him. Do you think I'm inhuman? What can I say? I’m not so naive to believe that my words could make him come to reason and change his lifestyle. Nor I am an altruist, every person has to strive for their own happiness ... well, if it were a beauty I would think about it.

Besides, above all things I literally was putting my own ass at risk, and anyone who wants to take Kurisu's virginity against her will have to ask my [Colt] and [Black Moon] first if they agree with that. .

What? That they were humans? That is easier to answer, anyone who aims to my butt is no different than a goblin for me, and if I can kill them without regrets that same result awaits others.

But that's my way of thinking, Kurisu shook a little when she saw me kill them. I hope she get used to this and leave behind a little of her entrenched mentality of values from earth for her own good.

The sound caught the attention of a few people in the surroundings and among them some of the bandits that carried a bow aimed at us.

"Knock down the one who carries the bow Kurisu"

"B-but he is a person"

Tch, too late, he has shot. I step forward covering her, the arrow flies and hits my shoulder.

I only feel a little of the impact before getting repelled by my armor. I immediately knocked him down after three shoots of my weapon.

"We must cover ourselves with the houses, we are easy targets for them"

I take Kurisu's hand and pull her to shelter us behind a wall of a house and while do in so, I shout at the villager who sat on the floor.

“Hey you, if you don't want to be killed don't stay there"

"Y-yes!"

[Beep]

Damn, isn't it a bit unfair that the account starts already at 88%? I can't stand here without doing anything ... the problem is that can't leave Kurisu alone.

“Kurisu a mission to save the people was activated ... I need to be sure that at least you can defend yourself. If anyone approaches you with bad intentions, aim and pull the trigger" 

"B-but if I shoot I can kill them ..."

I take Kurisu's face with my hands and closely look into her eyes with the strongest and most serious expression I can do, I tell her raising my voice.

"I don't give a damn what happens to other people, as long you're safe, everyone else is dispensable. If someone attacks you even if it's a villager wanting to take advantage of the situation, empty the magazine of your weapon on him, I'll take full responsibility for the consequences. Is that clear? "

"U- unn "

"Well, take out your Beretta and stay alert"

After releasing her she takes her gun as told, the villager was watching us anxiously and when I look at her she trembles a little.

"If you want to be safe stay by her side ... and you better not try anything strange"

"O-of course, I won't do anything, I'll just stay with her and help in any way I can"

I nod to the two of them, and then I approach the edge of the wall and poke my head to see the other side. No one seems to be following us, I run to find my next target and passing a few houses I hear a scream from inside one.

" Nooo ... please let me go, I don't want this ... snif ... stop"

"Shut up bitch!! You'll see how much you will enjoy it right away hehehe ..."

There was no need to be a genius to know what is happening inside, I enter through the open door and inside were two people who  I could read above their heads [Thief level 8] and [Villager level 5]. The bandit was holding a girl in torn clothes while trying to lower his pants.

"H-help me ... no, please run ... get away from here"

" Hehehe ... it seems like this is my lucky day ... she's a bit small, but it's prettier than this bitch ... wait a little bit and I'll be right with you"

When I approach they notice me, my first impression of the girl is good, because seeing my appearance even in her situation she worried about me. As for the thief ... he was a simple bastard whit nothing special in him. I look at the latter and answer him smiling while walking putting and standing less than a meter away from the man.

"I don't like waiting ... and it's a shame for you, but I like being the one who penetrates"

" Guek ..."

My sword pierces his chest that was completely unprotected by having the hands on his pants. He looks at me with fear and pain but I just keep smiling and before he loses his consciousness forever, I whisper.

"Quiet, it will only hurt a little at the beginning but soon it will go away and you will feel better"

The thief wanted to say something, but only managed to choke on his own blood, closing his eyes and losing consciousness he dies so I withdraw my sword. I focus my attention on the girl, her appearance could not be considered beautiful but her features were pleasant to the eye.

"Are you alright?"

"T-thanks… I did… I don't know what would have happened if he continued"

I do know, but let's not put her through more bad things informing her of that. Now that I think about it, I didn't ask the other villager anything... I was too rushed, let's get some information from her.

"Do you know how many thieves are attacking the town? Or who leads them?"

"M-many ... a scary man is the one who gave them orders"

Haaa ... well, at least I have more information than before ... I will have to find the rest for myself.

"I-I'm so sorry ... I couldn't be very helpful"

"Don't worry and try to hide so they won't catch you again, and before you ask, I can't bring you with me since I'm going to kill the other thieves"

I should have frowned when she answered the questions because she apologized right away. I turn around to continue looking for thieves and when I hear her move, I spoke again to prevent her from following me, then she turns around and seems to try to find somewhere to hide as I said.

Leaving the house, I see three more bandits who are patrolling the area or looking for a target, I walk towards them and when they are within my reach, the explosions of the bullets sound. When I wanted to take care of the third bandit, I only heard a click ... I had spent all the bullets.

I put away the colt and charge whit my sword towards him, in just a few seconds we are face to face and he tries to take his weapon, but before he can make it, I cut his wrist.

" Ghaaaa ... d-damn brat, I'll kill you ... no, I'll capture you and make you be the mascot of the whole band"

"Where is your boss? How many people are in your group?"

"W-wait for me to put my hands on you, I will make you pay damn whore”

While he continues to curse me, I apply force in the arm where he lost his hand... I wouldn't mind if he insulted me, my problem was that they took me as a woman. Fuuu , I think this won't change soon. Nailing the tip of my sword on his shoulder I shout.

"Answer if you don't want to lose another limb"

" Aaahh , D-die cheap whore, you just have to wait and they will come to deal with you properly"

" Tch , you are not useful ro me then. Go and keep company to your other friends hell"

Without telling him more, his head flies, I honestly prefer to kill them with the gun. I have no problem with taking their lives, but the feeling of cutting someone similar to you and seeing it closely while the light in their eyes goes out is not pleasant.

I walk and change the charger at the same time. I hear shouts from inside a house and a scene like the one avoided before is taking place inside, unfortunately for the woman I didn't arrive on time ... and the progress was more advanced than before.

The woman cried while 2 thieves took advantage of her. I approach, but she was too distressed and they were too absorbed in what each one did so no one notices me. I took the one who was r*ping her from the leather armor and pulled him back. I considered killing him instantly, but the woman already had enough to also have to bathe in her aggressor's blood.

"What the hell, who the-"

[ Bang ]

With the shout the other two people in this room notice me, I kick the other man away from the woman and he die without much resistance like his partner. The woman gets up and with the remains of the clothes she still wears, tries to cover herself, I buy a sheet in the system and put it on her.

"No one will hurt you anymore"

"Hic ... snif ... M-my husband"

I follow her gaze while she is sobbing and in another room of the house there is a body lying on the floor. I'm not good at this kind of situation...

"Try to live for him too ... I need to go"

"N-no, don't leave me alone .. ,. hic- snif ... please"

"I will look for the other thieves and take revenge for your husband. Hide somewhere while everything ends"

She looked at me for a moment and then nodded and in tears asks me not to forgive any of them. I get up and walk to the exit after promising her without giving more words of comfort. When something happens to you and you listen to others trying to comfort you, seems so overuse it to me, those are things that can only be said because the other person is fine.

In my opinion sometimes the best remedy is only the time and support of the people you trust. When I leave the house a group of men are approaching talking to each other. They seemed in a bad mood, but when they see me it seems as if their day gets better.

"The boss's orders to come and check the strange sounds were not so bad after all, we found a treasure"

" Hehehe ... the one who catches her first has the first turn"

"It seems high quality, if the boss finds out that we ruin her,he will kill us all"

"He don't have to find out"

"He's right, if we keep our mouth shut he won't know what happened"

While they run to where I am, I walk to them, not everything is bad with this body, due to my appearance, these types of people are very likely to lower their guard and consider me someone helpless. The first one comes a few steps away from me and I take the hilt of [Black Moon] and make a diagonal cut from the bottom up.

The second one is surprised when he sees my sword and with his eyes wide open presses his throat where the blade passed. The third back one take a step back so I charge and thrust my sword and then I kick him and take out my sword from his body. The fourth having enough time takes out a saber, with my left hand I take the colt and before he make a move a bullet goes out through his skull.

The fifth is paralyzed and just watches me as if he saw a demon, I approach with both weapons in my hands and then ask with a smile.

"Will you tell me where your boss is or do you want to accompany your friends to the next life?"

"M-my Boss?"

“Yes, where is your boss and how many of you are left?”

"H-he's in the town square choosing who can be sold for a good price and our group is 27 men and the boss. D-don't kill me ... I'll do what you want"

“Throw your weapons, kneel and shut your mouth !! "

So half of them are left, after he does what I order him, I refill it all the magazines. With [Black Moon] I made a light cut on my arm and put blood under my nose and the edges of my mouth, I thought about using the blood of the bandits, but I was disgusted just thinking about it. Finishing I speak to the thief again and after sheathing my sword I point to the colt.

"See this?"

"Yes!"

"As you can see, it can throw small pieces of iron at high speed and can easily kill a man."

I point out to his partner that died from a shot and the thief nods strongly, then I told him to get up and he stands up trembling.

"Turn around"

When he turns around, I stand by his side and place the tip of the weapon between his buttocks, he trembles and gives me a pleading look with fear. I don't have any strange hobbies so you can be calm as long as follow my orders.

"If you don't want to end up with another hole in the ass, you better follow my orders and don't try anything strange"

"Y-yes!"

"Take me by the neck with your hand and lead me with your boss, and be careful whit what you do, unless you want to find out what is faster, your fingers or the piece of iron that comes out of my weapon"

With his trembling hand, he grabs my neck, after order him to start moving we went towards the square. In a few minutes we reach an open area with a large group of people gathered. Those in control were the armed robbers while the villagers were on their knees surrounded.

"Walk to your boss and say you found me hiding in a house in the town”

"Y-yes"

I speak to him in a low voice in which only the two of us can hear clearly, he quickly answers me and looks for the boss in the area with his eyes. Without taking too long, he goes in the direction of a small group of one 7 bandits gathered who talk to each other shouting at them.

"Boss !! Boss !! You must look at the treasure we found hidden in the village"

With his voice, the whole group of people observes us, of the 7 bandits, the one who seems the most muscular frowns and tells us to come closer as we walk with hurried steps to him.

" Ooow it really is a treasure, it is good that you group of bastards could think and not ruin her. Expect a good reward when we share the part that belongs to you ... and others? "

"T-they kept looking if there was no other good thing, I came quickly before we were tempted by her"

"Good job ... but looking at her she is really beautiful. She would must reach a high price... or maybe I should keep it for myself hahahaha "

"Oh boss you can't forget us too"

"That’s right chief, if she stays in the camp she should serve everyone"

"Close the damn mouth!! I will decide what to do once we finish with all this "

"Che, it's not fair"

While they were talking to each other I watched for those who had long-range weapons since they would be annoying, it was good that the 3 who had bows were reunited with their boss.

"I forgot, did you find out what those strange sounds were?"

"T-that ..."

"What happen?"

"Those sounds came from this"

I said removing my gun from the ass of the thief who brought me and aiming at the boss with it, he looks at me with doubt about the sudden interruption of my voice and then his pupils focus on what I had in my hands.

[Bang]
