All of the members from Mermaids reunited, Axel, Mira, and Cana followed Kagura. They were shocked to see Axel being here but it wasn't because they hated him or something, they were shocked that someone like Axel would help them with such a low mission. This wasn't even an S-class quest. They were even more shocked when they learned that Axel and his girlfriends have decided to help them for free.
Cana: Are you sure that you aren't doing this to impress that girl?
Axel: Do I look like a womanizer?
Both Mira and Cana gave Axel a deadpanned stare that gave him all the answers needed. Axel decided not to pursue this matter and soon gave up.
Axel: But this isn't for that, I just thought a simple job might be refreshing for us.
Cana: That I can agree with…!!
Mira: But you stay back, we want to plan and fight.
Axel: Fine… have fun.
Axel said and decided to back away and decided to give the girls take lead this time. Axel saw that Cana pulled out a bottle of booze from God knows where and chugged it down. Axel smacked his own face seeing that Cana was already drunk. He looked over to Mira who still had a gentle smile on her face but Axel knew that any moment now her sadistic smile might appear.
Kagura: We need a plan to deal with these guys.
Mira: Why don't we hide somewhere and wait for them to attack if they see mages they might run away.
Cana: Don't worry… we can use our womanly charms to woo them towards us… then defeat them.
Cana said while she looked completely tipsy, the other girls also thought the same thing as Cana but decided to follow Mira's plan that even if they were women the bandits might already know about them and they have already heard that these bandits were smart. And also they didn't want to use their womanly charms on thugs and bandits, so Cana's plan was soon thrown out of the window and Mira's plan was accepted.
All of them decided to hide in different parts of town in teams of two. Cana gave all of them a card which they would use if they saw the bandits coming from their sides. Axel flew up in the air and only decided to relay some messages and not to get directly involved in the bandit subjugation. A few hours passed easily, it was already dark when Axel saw some movement on Millianna's side.
Axel decided to wait until he knew their numbers. Axel noticed that they were near hundred in numbers and they have stealthily entered the town. Axel took out the card and informed everyone. Immediately all of them rushed towards Millianna's side. The bandits were also preparing to attack but they stopped when they were being attacked from all the sides.
Bandit Leader: What the hell is happening!!!??
Bandit1: Boss, someone is attacking us…!!
Leader: I don't want any excuses… kill them all.
But before the bandit could to relay the order he hit by lightning, the Bandit Leader was shocked to see the attack and decided to retreat and attack another day.
Leader: Retreat…!! Everyone retre…
But before he could finish suddenly gravity increased and all of them fell on the ground due to the force. Millianna and Cana then used their binding magic to stop all the bandits from running away. Kagura used her gravity magic to stop the bandits from escaping after the leader has decided to turn tail and run away.
Axel landed next to Mira and saw that she still had her gentle smile on her face meaning she didn't even need to attack the bandits.
Axel: Don't be sad, next time you will get your chance to fight.
Mira: Uhmm… it is sad that everything ended before I reached here.
Axel: Don't worry… in Alvarez, I will fight anyone you want.
Mira: Then I want to fight with Magic King August.
Axel: Fine…
Cana: What are you two talking about?
Axel: She wants to fight to specific someone.
Soon after binding all the bandits, Kagura also joined them.
Kagura: Thank you so much for your help.
Mira: No need… we are happy to help.
Cana: I don't remember you defeat even one of the bandits.
Mira's aura immediately turned completely dark and she started to release a dark aura. Everyone backed away from except Axel and Cana, Cana still had a smug and proud smile on her face.
Axel: Uhhh… Mira calm down, I will later spank Cana as punishment.
Axel whispered in Mira's ears which made Mira immediately calm down and beam happily with a huge smile on her face. This sudden change of Mira after Axel whispered in her ears made Cana feel uneasy. All of them were brought out of their antics when Kagura spoke again.
Kagura: So where are you guys going to go next?
Cana: To Alvarez.
Kagura: Why?
Axel: Since we are from the same continent I think I should tell you, Alvarez might soon invade Ishgar.
When Axel said that Kagura turned completely pale, if Alvarez invades Ishgar then they were going to have a war. This was not nice at all, she even has heard about the Spriggan Twelve who were really strong who had a huge amount of powers. Though she didn't know much about the details about their forces but if war breaks out there are going to be casualties.
Axel: That is the reason we are going to investigate.
Kagura: …Oh…
Kagura didn't know what to say anymore and decided to stay quiet and was lost in her own thoughts.
After some time the Mayor of the town came to congratulate them and take the bandits to prison. The mayor also arranged an inn for them to stay spend the night. Axel decided to stay the night here and leave the next morning.
