“Hyahaaa!”

The 5 bandits who made this place their stronghold were returning with delight in their voices.

They were villains well known in the area as kidnappers.
They took out what was inside the hemp bag one of them was carrying.

It was a girl.

The dirty-looking girl with her hair in two long braids was bound with straw rope. Her eyes were closed, probably unconscious.

What the girl was wearing was clearly a high-school-mandated summer sailor uniform, but these barbarians don’t seem to know that.

“But Boss”, another one of the men let out a coarse laugh, “we won’t know that if we don’t make sure.”

“Maybe we ought to do a little ‘sampling’.”
The sound of the bandits’ eerie, lustful laughter filled the innards of the cave.

“Uhh..”

“Hey, the young lady’s woken up.”
“Hehehehe. Looks like she’s just in time for the party.”

Being looked down upon by several bandits, the girl noticed the predicament she was in.

“D, don’t come…! ―Yuu-kun! Where is Yuu-kun!?”

“Yuukun?”

“He’s her boyfriend from the looks of it”

“You’ll be making some unforgettable memories with us.”

The men approached the girl, surrounding her.

“Noooooo! H, help me! Help me Yuu-kun!”

But to the bandits, that was no more than a spice that heightened their arousal.

“Good good, I’m getting hot. I like this kinda thing.”

“Noo! D, don’t come…! Yuu-kun… Help me Yuu-kun!!”

“He won’t catch up with us who came on horses.”
“That boy won’t make it in time even if he ran as fast as he can.”

“Ah, so that’s how it is.”
The girl suddenly stopped screaming.

“Hm?”

“Ah?”
“Oh?”

“That was a miscalculation. I thought I could finally get Yuu-kun some EXP”, she said nonchalantly. She stood up, ignoring the dumbfounded bandits.

“Wai….!”

As if she was checking her body’s condition, the girl made a light stretch.

“Ma, magic!?”

“You ask a lot of questions for scum. Well, I’ll tell you one thing.”

Just like that, the girl disappeared in a flash.

“S, she disappeared?”

“Dammit, after her! Don’t let her get away!”

The men became agitated, but one of them stopped the others. He looked around, confirming an uneasy feeling he had.

*Crasssssh!*

‘The Boss’ came down from the ceiling.
“Mo…. Monster”, said the giant who was severely struck in the back, forcing out his voice, coughing froth out of his mouth. Then he collapsed and stopped moving.

“Hiii!?”

The bandits shuddered.

“You see, Arina’s body and heart belongs to Yuu-kun. Touching by anyone other than Yuu-kun is not allowed. Otherwise it’s burglary you know? BURGLARY!”

“Hi, hiiiiii!? He, help!”
“Stealing is bad you know? Did Yuu-kun say you’re allowed to r●pe Arina? Did you get permission from him? You were going to ra●e me without his proper say-so?”

*BAM*

The man was thrown onto the wall.

She kicked his nether regions with aaaalllll her might.

“Gaa….!”

Then a large amount of blood flowed from his nether regions.
Never mind the man’s life, his manhood had certainly met its end.

“M, monstrous…!”

The girl slowly turned her head to face the trembling men and let out a wide grin.
“You all think so too, right?”

“Y, yes!!”

When they did, the girl nodded in satisfaction.
“Yes. Arina thinks so too. So in place of Yuu-kun, Arina’s going to…”

“… give everyone …”

“… equal …”

“… punishment, okay♪”

“Eeeeeeeeeek!!”

“Help meeeeeeee!!”

However, upon the one and only exit a face of despair was smiling on them. The girl was already one step ahead of them.

One of the men was caught by the girl.

“A, An-chan! Jirou, Jirou’s caught!”

“D, d, d…. Don’t leave meeeeee!”

“First​Of​All​The​Fact​That​The​Genes​Of​All​The​Males​In​The​World​Is​No​Match​For​Yuu‑kun’s​Superior​Dna​But​If​I​Exterminated​Them​All​Yuu‑kun’s​Children​Are​Going​To​Have​To​Commit​Incest​So​I​Allowed​Them​To​Live​This​Is​A​Perfect​Plan​Right​But​I​Think​Eradicating​Useless​Genes​Is​Allowed​And​Should​Be​Done​Right​You​Think​So​Too​Right?”

While the girl was saying something unintelligible as if chanting a spell with an ecstatic look, she carelessly threw down the man called Jirou and picked up a moderate-sized stone.

She swung the stone downward.

“Jirooooou !!! An-chan, she killed Jirou…”

“An-chaaaaaaaan!?”

There was an expression that goes “he became a star”, but with that altitude he might’ve become one for real.
The girl smiled at the remaining man.

“Hey​I​Don’t​Really​Do​Much​Garbage​Processing​In​Front​Of​Yuu‑kun​So​He’s​Probably​Going​To​Be​Frightened​Fufu​He’s​Cute​Right​That​Yuu‑kun​He’s​The​Coolest​And​The​Cutest​And​The​Greatest​In​The​Whole​World​Actually​Any​Man​Other​Than​Yuu‑kun​Don’t​Deserve​To​Be​Called​Men​Actually​The​Word​Man​Itself​Only​Means​Yuu‑kun​So​Something​Like​You​Ought​To​Be​Called​Something​Else​Probably​You​Need​To​Be​Biologically​Classified​As​Ugly​Creature​Right​Of​Course​Then​Maybe​You​Would​Understand​Yuu‑kun’s​Greatness​A​Little​Bit​Or​Maybe​You​Won’t​Understand​Ah​That’s​Right​You’re​Something​Else​So​Sorry​Sorry​That​Was​Probably​Too​Difficult​For​You.”

“G, go away! GO AWAAAAAY!!!”

He was going to run a long way away and survive.

But,

“Ahahaha, that’s weird. You can’t run away like that you know.”

“Ahaha, ahahaha. If you want to get away you need to run faster.”

He should’ve escaped so why is the girl there.

Faster, faster!

“Ahahahahaha. Ahahahahahahahahahaha”

―How could she catch up with him!?

In actuality, what the man was straddling over and frantically whipping was just a large rock sticking out from the ground, but he did not realize it because of a certain magic.

Frightened at the girl, the man frantically whipped the rock, assaulted by terror each time he turned his head.

“D… demon…, You’re a mad demon!”
“Nuh-uh, that’s not right”, she smiled again with her whole face, “I’m Arina, the Hero of this world.”

“Arinaaaaー! Where are youー!!”

He heard rumors that there were bandits around here that would attack and carry travelers off.

“Please be safe”, he murmured as he aimlessly wandered the unfamiliar highway.

He had been running for 30 minutes.

It was unmistakably Arina’s!

The boy shouted out and ran, following the scream.

She was petrified and unable to move, surrounded by three wolf-like monsters called ‘Beowulves’.

“Dammit! You’re always causing trouble!”

The boy took out the cheap sword he just bought and jumped in, facing the Beowulves.

“It’s dangerous so get back!”

“Talk later! Get behind by back and don’t move!”

Brandishing the sword, the boy battled the monsters.

Behind him, Arina was smiling.
“Once I beat the Demon King and conquered the world, I’m going to give Yuu-kun a present. Please wait just a little while, okay.♪”
