Sky tediously dragged his steps towards that suspicious town he saw. Blood dripped out from his wound forming a slim trail of blood. Just as he almost reached the town, his step is halted by a group of bandits that are cornering two people, Sky can identify them as a lady in plain milkmaid dress, protected by another lady that dressed up as a guy, with her long hair obviously hiding in the bandana she wore on her head, the fake mustache above her lips makes her whole appearance looks even more awkward. However...
"Lad, if you don't want to get hurt, hand over that lady to us, she is in debt with our boss." said one of the bandits who amazingly actually think that the other lady is a guy.
Sky stared at those people and wondered if those bandits are blinds or idiots. At first, Sky plans to ignore them and walked away silently since it is not wise to intervene in such a troublesome situation as he realized how bad his body condition is at the moment. But one of the clueless bandits spotted Sky. He ruthlessly stopped Sky and asked for protection rackets.
"Hey! You there! You are among those insolent wanderers who fall into this big hole and want to seek for refugee in the town eh? Pay us some protection rackets first before you take another step." said the clueless bandit in a rude manner and obviously looking down at Sky.
Still doesn't feel like intervening with these people, Sky decided to walk away and looking for another path to enter the town, however, the bandit doesn't seem to agree with that, he reached his hand towards Sky trying to forcibly pull him back. Annoyed and irritated by that deed of the bandit, Sky lifted his right leg and brutally kicked the bandit's stomach, sending him flying and crashed onto three of the other bandits.
Seeing their gang members get attacked, the whole group has given up on pursuing the girls but switched their target to Sky. Sky sighed before cracking his right knuckle and punching down every single member of the bandit group with just one hand despite being badly injured.
After Sky beat up all of the bandits, they finally realized that they are messing with the wrong person and hastily retreated, leaving the two girls on the spot. Sky glimpsed the two ladies for a while, after confirming they are alright, Sky walked away without saying anything.
"Hold on there! Wanderer, if you are looking for a refugee, we could bring you back to our house as a gratitude for saving my sister and me." said the lady who is disguising as a guy.
At first, Sky does not plan to respond to her but then he feels that he needs to clarify something to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.
"First of all, I am not a wanderer. Secondly, I'm not looking for a refugee in the town, just to make it clear." said Sky, in the briefest way possible.
Then he once again tried to walk away.
"Wait! I am sorry about my improper assumption just now. I am trying to say that, it's not a good idea to continue your journey with those serious injuries, we have some basic medical equipment and medicines at our place, so please at least get some treatment for your injuries before continuing your journey." said the lady who disguised as a guy.
Even with these obvious attitude changes, Sky remains unwavering by the lady's offer.
"And we had a lot of good foods at our place." said the other lady.
Sky turned to that lady, he found that it's hard to believe that someone would try to convince him with food...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In a small cozy farmhouse. Sky is enjoying some nice gourmet food while getting his broken arm treated by the lady in milkmaid dress. Yes, he is indeed successfully getting lured by food.
"I'm glad you decided to stop by our place, I'm Tata, a member of the revolutionary team, this place is actually one of the secret meeting places of the revolutionary team, which is why we have some basic medical appliances here." said the lady.
Then, that other lady suddenly walked out from another room with a more feminine outfit, she had her hair placed down and without that cringy fake mustache. Since Sky had already realized that she is a lady, thus, he is not surprised by that look of her at all.
"And that's my elder sister, Lili. She usually dresses up like a man when interacting with outsiders, so things can be smoother." said Tata.
"I see." said Sky.
"Heh? Don't you feel even a little bit surprised that she is a lady?" Tata asked, slightly surprised by Sky's reaction towards Lili's feminine attire.
"Nope. Should I actually feel surprised?" said Sky, he still doesn't understand how people get deceived by that bad disguise.
Lili is astonished by that response from Sky. She approached her sister and whispered in her ear.
"Tata, this man is different from the others. He might be the one we are looking for." Lili whispered, although her voice is loud enough to be heard clearly from two meters away.
"Aye... And he looks so strong and muscular." Tata whispered, and same as her sister, it's a loud whisper.
"Uhm... Sorry for interrupting you ladies, but you don't really have to whisper. I mean... I can hear everything clearly from here." said Sky, a bit speechless by those whispers...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
