(POV Miu )

"…I see. Haa~ If it was just that, then you should have just explained things better, Hamtaro! "

" Hii! I-I'm sorry, b-but… when senpai opened the door and saw me, your look was quite scary… I-I couldn't explain things well. "

... after explaining things to Alexander-kun, he casts a sharp look at Hamtaro-san, and then the two begin to argue a bit. I don't know what misunderstanding there was before, but it's good that things worked out.

The reason why Hamtaro-san came looking for Alexander-kun was that we met a group of young people who were participating in the tournament earlier. And the problem was that they were forced to fight in this one... apparently, they were orphans "rescued" by the owner of this tourist island.

Their story was a little sad, but in the words of Alexander kun, they did not get the shorter stick either... honestly, I and others consider the things that happened ah this group of boys as something quite bad, so I was a little concerned about the kind of world Alexander-kun had lived in until now so as not to consider that as a disgrace!

“ So… will you help us, Alexander- kun? "

“Well… if it's something that Miu- chan is asking of me, I can't refuse, right? "

"...T-Thank you."

“A-Alexander- senpai… seriously, the difference in treatment is very different!! B-Before I felt that you almost killed me for just interrupting you in your room!! "

“…It's just your imagination, Kenichi. How would I hurt my dear Kohai~? "

"" ... ""

...n-no, well... when I arrived and found them both... and Alexander-kun kicking Hamtaro-san a bit, actually the aura around the first one was a bit scary... s-so it took me a while to intervene and help to the second one.

But now complain about it only will delay things even more, so it's best not to get a discussion that topic again! B-Besides... I-I can't complain because there is a difference in treatment between Hamtaro-san and me. In fact, the way Alexander kun treats me makes me feel happy and a little nervous.

“L-Let's hurry then. The others are waiting for us ”

""Yes""

The three of us move to another room were the other Shinpaku boys staying. Besides them, there was also a blond boy who was one of the boys that I had talked about earlier. It seems that after his entire group losing in the tournament, the owner of this island wanted to get rid of them.

Somehow he managed to escape with the help of his other companions, and then he met Hamtaro-san with whom he had created a small bond during the group fight since they were one of those we faced.

So upon hearing about his situation and asking him to help rescue his friends while crying, Hamtaro-san couldn't help but get involved in this. But after gathering more of his friends to help him and we understand the situation more, I had to suggest that we call Alexander- kun.

"Isn't Renka-chan here too?"

"T-This... we thought maybe she would be with you... should we call her too?"

"…No, she's probably not very well right now, so us should be enough to rescue those guys."

When we got here, Alexander-kun looked around the room, and then when he didn't find Renka- chan, he asked for her. When he mentions her name, the atmosphere in the place changes a bit… I could see some envy and curiosity from the boys and girls here!

Well… surely everyone was thinking the same thing! And in fact, when I suggested calling Alexander-kun earlier, no one wanted to go there for that very reason!! Knowing him, no one wanted to interrupt his time alone with Renka- chan!!

…In the end, because all of this was something that Hamtaro-kun started, under pressure from everyone else, he was the one chosen to go there and talk to Alexander- kun. Furthermore, after seeing that he was now a bit mistreated, everyone surely thought that it was the most suitable choice for them not to be the ones to be in his place to find Alexander-kun before.

N-N r I did it because I wanted to intervene so that he would not do more things with Renka -chan, it was because according to the things that this blond boy explained, there was at least a Master level person there! That's why it was necessary for someone strong like Alexander-san to come and help as well.

Although… I'm certainly not going to deny that when Hamtaro-kun delayed and I had to go there since no one else wanted to, I was a bit reassured when I saw that Renka-chan was not at the place. It would have been quite uncomfortable to have to meet her in his room!

"Well, then let's go.

I didn't sleep much the night before, and… I don't want to have to go another sleepless night for something like that. "

"" ... ""

(POV Alexander)

"...why do villains always have to confine people to dark and humid places?"

“…Well, they are villains, right? Surely they will not do bad things in full view of everyone and broad daylight "

"Well... that's not entirely true, I was in a place where you could see villains doing much worse things in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, you know?"

"" ... ""

At this moment, we were in what should be the drainage tunnels of this island… as I said, the place was damp, dark, and… most of all, it stunk! Seriously, I couldn't help but complain as the blond boy I saw in the room of one of the Shinpaku boys led the way.

"...if I ever have to confine someone, I will do it in a sunny place that smells of flowers."

"That's a pretty good thought coming from you."

“ N-No, Tanimoto-kun… I-I think it's still very bad to think that you will ever have to deprive someone of their freedom against their will! "

"Well… to be honest, the only reason I'd do that is that if I have to see inmates for any reason, that would be a lot better than going down a sewer, right?"

"" ... ""

As our group walked through the tunnels, we kept talking about some minor things... well, probably talking about things like that couldn't be described as minor, but I didn't pay much attention to that.

All I wanted was to be with Renka-chan or Kushinada at this right moment, but here I was walking through the sewers of this island… haa~ this was very depressing. Sadly, I couldn't deny Miu-chan request! I couldn't tell her that I didn't want to help her because I had plans to spend the night with a girl, right?!!

…I just wanted to get this over with quickly, go back to take a bath, and pray that it was still not too late to have to give up on my original plans!

"I-It's here… there they are confining my other brothers!"

After several minutes of walking in this place, in a corner to turn the other way, the boy in front comes forward and discreetly pokes his head while telling us that. When I stood next to him, I could see that in the place two subjects were guarding an iron door… and both guys had a level 2 Soul!

Well, things weren't that bad... one was just a semi-master like the bald man I fought before... probably if fought him I should be able to defeat him.

"W-What do we do?"

"" ... ""

Unfortunately, I couldn't let others take care of the other man while I took care of that one! The other guy was someone at the Master level and also has a level of [127]! And what was more worrying was that his fighting style was one focused on weapons!! He had a pair of oversized Kukris on his back!!

…If I tell the other guys to face it while I take care of the other guy as quickly as I can, maybe one of them will end up with a few fewer limbs… or in the worst case, dying.

“I and Kenichi will take care of the guy with the big knives. The others will take the other guy as your opponent.

Try to do this as fast as you can."

"E-Eh? N-No! T-That guy seems quite dangerous, he will surely kill me!! "

"Don't worry, I'll fight him too"

“T-That worries me even more! S-Surely you will use me as a shield against him!!"

"..."

…I have to check Kenichi's abilities when he says that, for a moment I thought that he had gained an ability that would allow him to read minds! But it seems like that wasn't the case… I just think his instincts have gotten stronger during all of his fights so far. What a bad time for this, I must say.

Well, I wasn't going to sacrifice him... as the protagonist, he would probably be lucky enough to survive, right? Besides, other than me, he was the only other person with chainmail underneath his clothes and also had some [F] Rank gauntlets given to him by the old man before. So he had a better chance of blocking that sword and remaining whole.

“Don't worry, if he cut off an arm or a leg from you, I can put it back together… probably. Although, you should try to prevent that from happening ... it would cost me quite a few resources to heal you from that"

" Hyaa!! I-I don't want to! I don't want my arm or my leg to be cut off!! "

"" ... ""

" Hmn?"

…curse! The reason for all this was his fault, so he also had to take some risks!! But then, when I was literally thinking of giving him a push so that he would show some courage by kicking him against that Master who seems to have discovered us due to Kenichi's screams, Takeda intervenes.

“W-Why don't you ask this man for help? I-It seems pretty strong... "

"..."

With his words, I look at the person who was pointing ... shit, his presence was still very weak, so I completely forgot about Cockroach-kun! M-Maybe it was blending into the environment and that's why I didn't notice him? It was like a tree hidden in the forest...

If I think about it, this was probably one of the reasons why Miu- chan wanted my help. Since I had some masters under my command at the moment, she must have thought that it would be much safer to face the Master that the boy from earlier spoke of with one of them.

Although… I don't know why they didn't ask the Ryozanpaku guys for help instead. Well... in part I think I know the reason... surely if they intervened would make a great commotion! The last thing I wanted was for this to get out of control and the problems to grow, so that's why I didn't complain to her or Kenichi for that.

It was also that reason why I only brought the man I gave him his sword… seriously, I think at some point I should at least ask him his name. Well, surely apart from him, the other one who would be willing to help in this would be Shiba. I didn't have much hope that Ma Sogetusu would move while he still had alcohol with him… and with Kushinada, I didn't want to bother her about something like this.

“Well, he and I will take care of that man. You will take the other guy!"

"" Okay! ""

Apparently we had already been discovered so we all went out and I run to the right person to fight him... the large group of boys go to the semi-master surprising him a bit. With so many of them, I think I shouldn't worry too much.

…Also, in truth these guys have gotten stronger during the time that I haven't seen them, and also thanks to this tournament! Most of them are now at the 9th limit, and some were even at level 99 just one step away from making their soul stronger.

Unfortunately, that last step was quite difficult to overcome… I understood that perfectly from my own experience. Still, I think some of them shouldn't take long to advance… I don't know if because they had years of training, talent, or the world favored them. Either way, I was a little jealous about it!

" Hahaha ... well, it seems that some rats a little bigger than the others that I have seen so far down here have come out! I was starting to get bored… and besides, it is quite annoying to have to be here enduring this unpleasant smell!

I will vent to all of you for this! "

"..."

Whaah~ Looks like I wasn't the only one with a bad night...
