Wortenia Senki Volume 1 Chapter 16

Chapter 1 E 16 - (Rescue) 1

Today Ryouma was a little late at waking up, after taking breakfast, he had gone to the blacksmith store to take his weapon. 

"Now! For those who have experience and skills do try to take these request quest!" 

The young man and Giltz-san the man who's at the receptionist counter yesterday called people loudly in front of the bulletin board inside the guild. 

----------------------------------------Statement---------------------------------------- 

The formation of a unit party to subjugate thieves group the [Red Moon] that appear on the highway and villages between Aru and Melveren.

Objective: 

Be sure to capture or kill everyone. 

Reward: 

There are eight members confirmed. 

As for the treasures that the thieves group held, it will be regarded as the subjugation party side income (you may have it) 

It shall be done within half a month after the settlement and formation of the subjugation party. 

Application Requirements: 

A soldier or someone who deal with law enforcement (with any other name) will be approved. 

A mercenary experience (or even an adventurer with sufficient battle experience). 

*Those who have a combat ability will be given priority. 

(I guess Graez-san has a hard time huh. He does not look like a bad person though...) 

"I'm very sorry, but all the delivery request quest from Melveren to Aru have been suspended. There's also some urgent delivery quest and others; however, it was only for those who has single E rank or higher; thus I cannot introduce them to Mikoshiba-san." 

The woman who is at the reception desk told Ryouma and bowed her head. 

"Is it because of the thieves group in question?" 

"Indeed. Because of the previous failure, the guild lost its prestige... The feudal lord and garrisons guard also have been complaining... Ah! I-I'm sorry. Please forget what I had said just now." 

"No no, it's fine. Well with that being the case, is there something that I can accept?" 

"Hmm let see. There's three kind of subjugation quest for I rank, and also subjugation quests for H rank. That is what available." 

"If the rank of the person who receives the quest of I rank is higher, then the achievement value clear point will be 0 but the reward will be double, is that right?" 

"Yes. That exactly right." 

"Well, how about the time limit?" 

"There's no time limit for subjugation request quest bellow B rank, you know?" 

"Oh, is that so?" 

"Indeed. That's why, like this, it would be a lot better to receive subjugation bellow B rank, see?" 

"If that is the case, I would like to take all the subjugation quest that can be accepted by single H rank." 

"I understand. Then please take a look at these." 

She then presented a book. 

"This is?" 

"It contains the list of the target name of subjugation quest that can be taken by single H rank, the amount of reward, and also the place they made as habitat. 20 quests can be taken by single H rank. Since it would be hard to explain everything verbally, it is my job to gives this catalog for first time H rankers. Please read it carefully." 

"Haa... I understood." 

The only salvation from this is that it was not so thick. 

Ryouma then left the guild while carrying a book and a card handed over to him. 

On the highway passed a very thick forest. 

Since the high trees were blocking the sunlight, the road light is dim. 

And currently, only Mikoshiba Ryouma walking through it. 

A road that being surrounded by dark forest. It is a perfect place to lie down for an ambush. 

(Well, I guess, it would be fine though...) 

He wants to cross the border as soon as possible. 

"Kyaaaaa!" 

"Shut up! Be quiet bitch!" 

"No!! Let me go!" 

"Behave yourself!" 

Just right at the place where the road turns a sharp right. Ryoma's eyes cannot see what had happened. 

There is a carriage that being attacked by several men, and also there are two girls. 

"Kukuku, Today as well, it's a great catch. Oi, It seems like luck have been on our side lately, doesn't it?" 

"Agreed. Yesterday we also got a lot from the villages." 

"Their woman also not so bad for a rural village. In the first place, we don't get any turn at all..." 

"Well, that can be helped... The price to sell them will be quite high if they are not yet being violated." 

"I also already get tired of only enjoying a middle-aged woman, you know? And I guess, young ones has finally come by..." 

He pointed to the girls that his company catch. 

"Hahaha. Time to enjoy!" 

"Oi! Don't put your hands on products. We would get killed by the boss, you know?" 

A man holding a blonde girl told his comrade. 

"But you know. This is a very high-quality goods, see?" 

A man holding a silver girl retorted. 

"Do you think so too? And also. Aren't goods from this carriages enough for our quotas?" 

A man who appeared from inside the carriage uttered such words. 

Suppressing them isn't effective due to the girls' beauty that is in front of them. 

"If you touch us, we will bite our tongue!" 

Being unable to listen to the men's words, the silver-haired girl yelled. 

They did not think that the thieves would know about it. 

Suicide and rebelled are things that slaves not allowed to do. 

"But still, well, just in case. Oi, its fine to do them while still wearing the clothes." 

"S-Stop. Let me go!" 

The girl desperately tried to free herself from the men's hands, however, due to the difference in strength she's unable to do so. 

"Oi! If you don't behave yourselves, I won't be responsible if something were to happen to the other girl, see?" 

The silver hair girl who resisted got quiet immediately after seeing the other girl has a sword on her neck. 

"But still, your master is really cruel isn't it? To think that he escape and save only his own self while leaving you both." 

A man who made the threat to the silver girl began ridiculing her. 

"Gates yo~. Isn't that obvious? After all, he had his life being targeted by the [Red Moon group], you know?" 

"True that!" 

A man called Gate raise a laughter. 

"Oi! Look at this. With this getting five million Bahts would be easy!" 

A man wearing a hood said while carrying an item. 

"Uoooh. I can't believe it. There's really five million baht..." 

"Is this all gold coins?" 

Other than boxes full of items such as miscellaneous goods, costumes, jewelry items, there is one box filled with coins. 

The men's clothing is not so different compared to mercenaries or adventurer that he was at the guild. They wear armors and weapons. 

Hurting, Killing, Steal, and Rape. 

(Such ugly appearance...) 

(What should I do? Should I help them?... but, It would cause me a lot of trouble to involve myself here...) 

(Whether or not I help those girls, there might not be anything bad happen. However, Something might happen... If I were to help them, I have to kill all of them, if there is just one person manage to escape, the person might come back with reinforcement. Can I do this? With this distance, I have no countermeasures if the girls were being used as a shield.) 

A reason to help. And a reason to not help. His own personal security. His own justice. The empire pursuers. Several elements appear on his mind. 

Anger and murderous intent appear on Ryouma face. 

Such honest feeling. 

He who had been summoned to this world forcibly, want to go back to his world by all means necessary. 

However, even so, letting girls in front of his eyes getting raped and killed while staying silent, he thought that he wouldn't be satisfied. 

Ryouma who can be ruthless and cold, actually by nature, a good person. 

The only difference between him and the general public would be his resolution. 

Ryouma then grabs the chakrams from the bag and sneaked inside the forest to make a surprise attack. 

If one were to manage to escape, reinforcement might come and try to take revenge. 

Ryouma apologize to them in his mind.
