Chapter 5 - A Secret Move for the Rescue

Souya frowned as he cursed his carelessness. If the man broke down and hurt the Priestess Cleric girl, the situation would be irreversible. He glared at the man with a serious gaze, a complete change from his previous attitude.

 

“You monster glasses bastard. Don’t move …… Until I run away.”

“I won’t do anything to you. So can you let the little lady go?”

“No, I don’t trust you! …… You said you were gonna make us incapable of recovery, right? …… Stop joking with me, if we can’t steal anymore, we’re out of business!”

 

The only man left has a hardened attitude. It may be difficult to persuade him in this situation.

 

“I’m going to leave and retreat to a place where I can’t see you …… Ehehe, whoa, don’t you dare move.”

 

The man continues to thrust his dagger at the priestess girl.

 

“U- …… Um, It’s because I’m a klutz, so please don’t mind me. Thank you for helping me. I’m sorry …… I’m sure I’ll handle it somehow.

 

The priestess is trembling and muttering to herself bravely, but she is probably acting tough when she says she can handle it. There is no guarantee that the priestess will be released after he has escaped to a position where I can no longer be seen by this man, and on the contrary, there is no denying the possibility that he will act inappropriately in revenge for the loss of his companions.

 

“Put your hands up, glasses man! Don’t do anything weird.”

“…… Good grief, I get it. But you must absolutely not touch the little lady. And you too, little lady, don’t get any ideas.”

 

Souya’s eyes narrowed, and he raised his hands in an expression that said, “There’s nothing I can do to help you.” 

 

The distance from Souya’s position, which had been about ten meters, became thirty meters, then fifty. A little further back, the priestess girl and the man would no longer be visible in this darkness.

Souya stared at the priestess as she moved away.

 

(I’ve been waiting for this distance. This distance is no problem. And he can’t hear me either.)

 

Souya began his magical chanting with both hands raised in the air. The sound of his chanting and the movement of his mouth will be undetectable from this distance.

 

“–project in my eyes, and all things in my hands. [Material Transfer – Aport].”

 

Souya’s chanting is complete, and a moment later, the priest girl’s body disappears from the hand of the man who was holding the dagger, and she was instantly transferred to Souya’s position. It was a high-level magic, and it was the first time in 20 years that he had used it, so he was relieved that the spatial transfer had been successful. I swear to the master who told me about this magic, I can’t let this one fail.

 

“Kyaaaah!”

“Oops!”

 

Souya caught the priestess girl falling off balance and suddenly fell from the air, holding her in both hands. 

 

“You must have been scared? Are you alright?”

“Yes …… U-Um, I’m really sorry. Thank you very much.”

“No need to thank me. I’m sorry, it was a blunder on my part.”

 

Souya set the priestess girl down and glared at the man who was holding her hostage about 50 meters away.

 

“W-What, that-that bastard, no way, don’t tell me …… He was a magic-user, a magician!? When he’s that good at martial arts? No, you’re kidding …… you’re a monster!”

 

The stunned man ran away as fast as he could. He seems to have realized that if the same spell that he just used could cause him to shift into space, it would be the end of the world. He may be thinking that if he disappears from Souya’s sight, he won’t be able to use his attraction technique.

 

“You don’t have to run away so fast because I won’t use the material transfer aport. This magic is exhausting, and I have special feelings about it. I have no taste for attracting and holding a man like you.”

 

Souya muttered in disgust, glaring at the man who turned away and ran.

 

“–But you’re the one who refused to negotiate. I can’t let you go now. I’m My pride was hurt a little too. You should pay for it with your body.”

 

After pushing up his glasses with the palm of his hand, Souya began chanting again.

 

“–Oh, demon snake, pursuit your target and devour him to death. [Tracking Magic Bullet – Homing Missile].”

 

The shining magic bullet released from Souya’s hand chases the man who runs away.

 

“Whaaaaaaattttttttt! It’s chasing meeeeeeeee!”

 

The tracking snake magic bullet automatically tracked and homed in on its target at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, making it extremely difficult to escape. And then there was a loud scream and a burst of sound.

 

“…… Well. Now I’ll have to clean up after them …… But first, let’s take a short break. Priestess girl, my name is Souya. What is your name?”

 

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t been in a state of tension in a long time, but after it was over, the exhaustion washed over him and he sat down on the rock. I don’t want to get old at all. If I want to continue my adventure, I would have to retrain my body again.

 

“…… My name is Mia. I am a priestess of the earth mother goddess Mikaela.”

“I see. Nice to meet you, Mia-kun.”

“…… Oh, uh, Souya-san. Thank you so much for your help!”

(T/N: Uhmmm, I don’t think I’m wrong here, but the priestess said Souya like this “ソウヤ”, but his name is written like this “宗谷”. I don’t know much about Japanese spelling, so I’m very sorry.)

 

The blonde girl, who introduced herself as Mia, bowed her head. She is blushing from embarrassment and apology. Souya thought it was worth helping her when he saw that.

 

“…… Those people chasing me around. It was really scary. I tried to preach to them, but they wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say.”

“Preaching? …… Don’t tell me, did you preach the doctrine of Mikaela, the Earth Mother Goddess?”

 

When he imagined the villains lying on the ground, their eyes shining with compassion, Souya almost burst out laughing, and held his mouth with both hands.

The girl who calls herself Mia may be a naive girl.

 

“Well, I’ll listen about the situation later. However, it may be a little mixed with sermons, but I would like you to forgive me at that point.”

 

Souya’s eyes became sharp instead of the calm expression he had just shown.
