"Come out of the carriage! Don't resist, it will just be in vain!"
You could hear bandits outside of the carriage.
". . . Ma'am. . ."
A maid with a sober face, that wore glasses, turned to her trembling master.
". . . Let's get out."
Baroness Ima Salah was a woman dressed in a simple, but elegant one-piece dress.
She had a pale face, but still made a dignified expression, and said in a stern voice.
"Well, we can't do anything here."
The baroness and maid peered at the owner of the voice, the youngest member in the carriage.
The youngest member had pink hair and looked beautiful.
It was Ima's daughter, Sarah.
"I just glanced outside to see how many bandits there were, and there are about 10 surrounding the carriage."
Sarah didn't seem frightened and snorted roughly:
"Each of us just needs to kill 3!"
"Your calculations are correct, but you don't even know how to use elemental magic."
"Oh. . ."
Ima gently hugged her beloved daughter, and then handed her to the maid.
". . . Let me try to negotiate with them. You and Sarah, please escape once you find an opening."
"Yes! Of course, my Lady, I will help you in any way possible."
"I'm not going to run away! Mmn! Mmn!1Sarah's mouth was covered"
Ima and the maid climbed down from the carriage, masking Sarah's mouth.
A man with a bushy beard waited there.
On one side of the man with the bushy beard was another man with an oval eyepatch, and on the other side was another man with a square eyepatch.
Perhaps, that bearded potato2The potato is talking about the first man, and I like it so I'm gonna keep it in was the leader of his entourage.
It's around 3 pm now.
The summer sun felt heavy on her skin, but Ima was so nervous, that she didn't notice the discomfort.
"Oh wow. . . I've heard rumors that she was beautiful."
The bearded man studied Ima with a nasty look and had a lustful grin on his face.
"Hehehe!
And is she Sarah? This guy is gonna sell both of you for a high price!"
Listening to the vulgar conversation, Ima inwardly clicked her tongue.
These guys attacked me without even knowing who I am.
This ambush was not random. . .
". . . Why did you attack us?"
Ima initiated the negotiations to stall for time.
Even if she was trying to stall, it would be a miracle if a team of adventurers happened to meet them.
They were on a road, that ran straight into the Baron of Salah's land and in the country of Taenis.
It's a country road that was sandwiched between forests, and there was barely any traffic.
Thus, the chances of getting saved were extremely low.
"From what you say, you know very well that we belong to the Baronial family of Salah. Do you know how much ransom you could get for threatening such a poor family?"
Yes, the Baron house of Salah was not rich.
Ima herself came from a certain influential family, but her relationship with her parents wasn't very. . . good. Quite bad actually.
To get married to her husband, she cut ties with her family.
"R- Ouch!"
The bearded potato punched the square eye patch guy who tried to say something.
"Don't you know how to keep your mouth shut! This should help, haha!
"Hehehehe"
The group of men followed their leader and started to laugh.
Ima scanned the environment for something, but she couldn't find anything.
The male servant who acted as a guard was alive but beaten, and he was laying on the ground.
The three adventurers who they hired to protect them were with the men.
"Quickly tie them up! I'll carry them to the hideout."
"Hey!"
Under Beardy's command, the bandits snatched Ima, Sarah, and the maid.
The maid, who was covering Sarah's mouth, was pushed onto the dirt road.
"Hey, hey! Let go of her mouth!"
In that case, it was inevitable due to her nature, that Sarah, who had been silenced, would start making noise.
She's more competitive than anyone else and she's not afraid at all.
"Hehehe, it's a dashing young lady~"
"Ugh, baldy!"
"Baldy?!?!"
The hated bandit who held Sarah's arm dug into it with his nails.
"You! Why are you doing that. . .!"
"Noisy baldy! I'm going to help my mother!"
"This brat!"
Hagen, the hated bandit who was trying to bind Sarah, became angry, and his eyes turned bloodshot with a bright red face.
He was very self-conscious of his forehead taking up all of his head.
Don't make fun of what people worry about.
Manners are needed in society.
Whether they were fellow bandits or cheeky boys from villages, Hagen smashed all of their heads in with an axe.
Of course, Sarah had no idea about any of that, she just called him Baldy as an insult.
"I'll never forgive you!"
"?! Hey, you! What are you going to do! We're trying to sell them!!"
Hagen held his hatchet high above his head and swung it down.
Beardy noticed him and tried to stop him, but he was too late.
The grimy axe, covered in blood was trying to sip the plasma of its new victim.
The weapon vehemently wanted to invade Sarah's skull.
. . . It didn't.
Because.
"Gahhh!!"
A terrible roar sounded.
By the time Hagen noticed though, the tip of the axe he was swinging down flew off somewhere.
"What the-!"
Suddenly very confused, Hagen stumbled around.
What happened?
But he never found the answer.
"Pa!"
Because while thinking, his head caved in.
This was the last of the man named Hagen.
"What!?"
What just happened!"
"Was it a wizard!?"
At the sudden death of their comrade, two popping sounds occurred.
"What. . . ?!"
Ima gasped.
The heads of the bandits that bound her and the maid disappeared.
The corpses of the bandits crumpled with a thud.
"Hey, hey, what is this!"
"What's going on!"
"Come out wizard! Come out now coward!"
The chaos grew; The bandits were fidgeting with the weapons in their hands.
However, they all froze abruptly.
For the cause of the bandit's chaos emerged from the thickets of a forest across the road.
The crooks' eyes were riveted on her.
They were stunned.
Ima and the maid too.
Not to forget about Sarah either.
She came into view slowly from the shadows.
At first glance, she seemed like a little girl who was weak.
Dressed in crude, drab clothing.
Even though she came out of the forest, she had no shoes.
Ominous and gruesome, with black hair and eyes, plus white skin.
She was such a girl.
Strippedhatbecomesgay Here's what author say:
It's not good to make fun of people's physical characteristics.
Let's live with consideration for the feelings of the other person.
But just because you feel like you've been made a fool of, I don't think it's okay to try to kill them.
