Chapter 3

I rushed to a place where people were gathered.

A group of about 5 or 6 people, including a dirty-man who was holding a child while pointing a small knife.

Also there are three people, a woman and men who were confronted them.

Th-this is. . . it’s seems the child was kidnaped. . . no, nono I can’t just jump to conclusions.  Maybe the Dirty-man’s group were good guys here---

[Whys there a brat in this kind of place? Well whatever, we also can sell him together with this child]

---I don’t think so. Yup, they are the bad guys.

However, you know what. . . I wasn't scared at all.

When on the mountain I felt a little bit of danger from the monsters there, but recently I can’t feel anything. . .

Hmmm, I think they will manage it somehow.

Those guys are not a big deal. Such small fries, even I have a little confidence that I could handle it by myself. . .  of course it was impossible for me until just recently. But still I can’t let my guard down. Although I survived in the mountain, I’m still an ordinary man. I have to properly look at the opponent, and be ready to move anytime---

[Heeh what’s wrong brat, are you too scared to move? Hey!! Someone go catch that brat!!]

After the Dirty-man gave a command, from his group, a man full of scars came to approach me. Usually this kind of opponent is strong. . . right? Or not? I mean, maybe he is full of scars because he's weak and gets injured a lot. It must be hard, but I can not feel sorry for him because he is a bad guy.

While the Scarred-man approached, the group of men and women didn’t spare a single glance at me. Apparently they are not interested and were just staring at the child who was caught.

Eh? Are they ignorong me? It’s not like that, right? They must be just too focused with the child, right?

I will stay here okay~!! Let’s shake hands later. . .

Hmm, from the three people I think the woman in front is the most approachable.

Let’s stop thinking unnecessary stuff, I must not lost sight of what's in front of my eyes.

[Hey brat, if you don’t want to get hurt, just quietly listen to what I say]

The moment Scarred-man tried to catch me, I disappeared from his line of sight.

[Huh?]

The scared-man has lost sight of me.

I appeared in font of the Dirty-man with the knife who held the child. There, I smelled something stinky. You should properly wipe your body and wash you clothes~! What if the children also become stinky because of you~!

[Hoi~hoo!!] (Wazu)

*baki!!* *boki!!*

I hit a hand of the dirty-man which held the knife and pulled the child.

Eh? Just now I heard some strange sound, surely his hands not broken, right? It’s impossible, indeed.

[Gya~aaaaa!!]

The Dirty-man is screaming.

I held the children between the dirty-man and these three people. Oh they noticed me. Finally they noticed me. I didn’t look in the direction of the three people in particular so I was late in realizing it.

Huh? These three people. . . have pointed ears!?

It’s Elves!

These three people, and the child are Elves. Do you understand now? This Dirty-man's group tried to kidnap an Elf child to be sold for gold to a slave dealer. Or maybe someone had been asking them secretly. . . 

Either way these weak guys are no match for Elves, even if I just watch from the back.

Well. . . I have rescued the child, I wonder what should I do now? It would be nice if we could talk, but what should we talking about?

Because I didn’t say anything, the two Elves are little flustered. This child also for some reason didn’t try to move away from me, are you hurt somewhere? Those guys also begun to make a ruckus after seeing the Dirty-man scream. The Elf which seemed to be the leader had rushed to them since awhile ago.

[The enemy of mine listened to the sound of wind which called their death]

Kiin- - -

Just like a blade, the wind flew to the dirty-mans group along with high-pitched sound for a brief moment. Caught off guard, their body got slashed by the blade of wind. The blood splashed and they are no longer moving.

Ma~magic. It’s the first time I saw magic. If I’m not mistaken, it put magic power into words to alter phenomenon, right? Also the magic strength is depended on their level. . . it’s so cool. . .

Oops, come to think of there is still the Scarred-man. . .

He was in a place that was a little away from us, using this oppurtunity he tried to escape as not to receive the same fate as his friends, but soon scattering his life by the two Elves hands.

I was looking at the scene in front of my eyes, (of course, I closed the child’s eyes with my hand as not to see it) I was fascinated with magic I saw for the first time. I changed my line of sight at the Elf woman

Slender body with shining silver hair that extended to the waist. On her hips, she was armed with jewelry-like knife and at her back she was carrying a bow .

I think I was charmed by her.

Well, this is something that naturaly happened without me realize it.

The silver haired elf woman turning around towards me.

[Thank you very much Stranger, you really helped us]

She said so with a thin smile blooming on her face.

*badump* the moment I saw her smile, I feel something jumps inside my chest.
