"He shot his own friend!", Emmai surprised.
"Why such a rich wants to become a bandit?", MC asked to that man as he somehow knew something about that man.
"None of your business!", that man used his gun to shoot MC.
Fortunately, MC could dodge that bullet. And then, he asked Emmai to run as he grabbed her hand and ran away from them.
"After them! No one can escape! When I, Luke Shaw, has pointed them as my target!", That man, Luke, ordered his subordinates to caught MC and Emmai.
Emmai and MC ran away from those bandits. When MC felt no sign of those bandits, MC saw some bushes at thr side of the road, and then he planned on something as they were running.
"You stay there! I'll be a decoy!", said MC as he pushed Emmai to the bushes while he kept on running.
Emmai was surprised as she fell into the inside of the bushes. Not long after she was there, she heard some other foot steps whos running passed by, they were the bandits who after they two. And then Emmai felt relieved that they didn't find out she was in there. But after that, she felt the little pain around her body cause of she stroke some small branches of that bushes.
In another side, MC kept running to the small alley while those bandits pursued him. After that, he suddenly turned to a little alley and when no bandits could saw him, he jumped up zigzag from the left building to the right building till he reached the top of roof. Then he stopped for a bit to see the bandits passed that alley without noticing him up there. He did it, the bandits didn't notice him up there. After that he returned to where Emmai hid.
"Oi! Emmai! It's me! Come out!", MC gave the sign to Emmai to came out from the bushes.
"Aggrrhh... What's your problem? Why should you pushed me to that bushes?", Emmai was mumbling as she came out from that bushes with little help from MC.
"To protect you of course...", MC's words somehow made Emmai silent for instantly that moment.
"We'll back to the inn, take all our things and get away from here!", said MC, then he walked away to the direction of the inn and Emmai followed him silently.
"Emm... By the way, thank you for caring about me..", Emmai said as she got closer to MC. And MC just nodded as giving her his confirmation of her words.
"Is there any other way to protect me without do that thing?", Emmai continued her words for her complaint.
"Dunno, I don't really think about any other things. Beside, it will be such a pain if you are running with me since you run so slow. They will catch us easily then", MC explained the things to Emmai as he stared to whole body of Emmai that looked so messed with some scratches over her arms and legs, then he was silent for moments.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!? Hhuumphh...!!", Emmai looked so mad as she was bearing with the pains she got.
"I'm really sorry for that... Are you okay to keep walking on that condition?", MC humbly asked for forgiveness and confirmed if she could keep walking with those wounds.
"Ohh... I'm okay! They're just some little scratches, I can keep going! Don't worry!", she said it as she kept moving with hiding her pains on her smiling face.
"You don't need to be sure that you can get away from me!", suddenly someone's voice heard by MC and Emmai, it's Luke with his subordinates that had already got behind MC and Emmai.
"How can you-..", Emmai got surprised to find them had already caught up.
"No one can get away from my sign. No one! When I've already put them on as my target!", Luke confidentiality talked as he was the greatest.
"No way! Do you just use something to tracking on us?!", Emmai replied.
Suddenly MC remembered something, then he grabbed something in his pocket, the rester.
"I see... I forgot to turn it off after its last caging..", MC figured something on Luke as he turned the rester off then put it back to his pocket.
"To think someone like you have rester detector is not surprising, but it looks like you have something else for the motives that you still wanted the rester from others when you can easily buy it yourself..", MC tried to conclude on the odd thing from Luke.
"Hemmh... I said it's not your business, isn't it?. But look like you got interested on it by the way... Well, I can say it as for my own satisfaction then..", he said that followed by laughing.
"Now then, your time is over!", Luke pointed his gun on MC.
" But I know you can dogde my bullet, so, how about her?!", Luke changed his target to Emmai, he pointed on Emmai now.
"No! Don't shoot!", MC quickly covered Emmai.
"MC..", Emmai would started to say something but...
"Emmai, go!", MC asked her to get away from there.
Quickly, Emmai tried to run away in her pain states, because she knew if she stayed there, she would be burden for MC. She held her pain from her legs for her own and kept to move, but Luke's subordinates had blocked her way. MC and Emmai got surrounded and no way to run.
"All you wanted is this, right?", MC showed his rester.
" Just let her go!", MC asked Luke to let Emmai go as he thought what all Luke wanted was the rester that he held.
"Too late! You've pissed me off. Now, die!!", Luke shot on MC direction.
But MC could dodge it, so Emmai did with helped by MC, and the bullet kept through forward and hit one of Luke's subordinate. Finding the opportunity to get away from them, MC grabbed Emmai hand as he asked her to run with him.
They two moved to the direction of that wounded bandit. As they passed him, Luke did shooting on them again, but this time, MC let Emmai ran herself and grabbed one of the bandit to shield himself from the bullet.
"Keep run!", MC shouted to Emmai while he covered himself and Emmai's escape route with the body of bandit he had grabbed from the bullets Luke'd shot.
Emmai ran away quickly even in limply state. But the rest of the bandits didn't let her got away easily, they were chasing her. MC couldn't help her since he got his hands full to block Luke's shooting bullets.
Luke moved closer to MC, made MC got really hard to block every bullet that shot by Luke. Then MC threw the bandit's body that he used as sheild to the direction of Luke.
"Out of the way!", Luke flunged the body of the bandit MC threw over him.
"Now then, how can you dogde all my bullets!", Luke rapidly shot on MC.
The bullets flied wildly toward MC, MC seemed had no way to dodging anymore. But in the brief of times, someone appeared in front of MC. He deflected all of the bullets toward MC with his sword. He was a man with dark green bandana and red headband on his head. Wore a white kimono like clothes with one less sleeve on his left side. Holding one katana on his right hand and one another katana left undrawn on his waist. He stopped all bullets that Luke had shot. He stood up between MC and Luke.
