The thugs seemed to have experience in fighting, but they were not very strong. I received a few hits, but the pain was bearable enough to not make me grimace.
It's not that my strength is strong enough that I can brag about it, but I still have experience in hunting monsters and I'm proud that I have some muscles that was tempered in farm work.
Compared to these frail kids who lived safely in the Royal Capital, the wonders of nature are much more formidable. However, nature is not only a danger for us but also a great blessing, so it is much more beneficial than these thugs.
The bastards who fainted and collapsed were obstructing the passage, so I piled and left them together on the corner of the road. By the way, I stripped off all their clothes and their wallets had been taken as a nuisance fee. It is a nuisance fee.
After the simple post-treatment was completed, I turned my attention towards the woman again.
She was looking at my face as if she was stunned.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
"--- !? I am alright? Thank you!?"
"... Why is it in questioning form?"
"Ah, no... that... There was no too much awkwardness in your peculiar skill, so I was a little surprised."
Ooh, it's because every time the village chief's stupid son made mischiefs, I would strip him naked and hung on a tree. If there is a tree here, these men who tried to commit violence against this woman would also be hung by me. Lucky bastards.
"--- I am sorry for losing my composure. Once again, allow me to thank you for saving me in a dangerous situation."
"Nah, I'm glad that you're fine."
I replied lightly to the woman who bowed her head. It didn't take much effort, and it was the great that she didn't fall into a grave situation.
However --- when I look at her carefully, I'm kind of amazed.
"Umm... Is something on my face?"
"Uh, I'm just a little surprised by how extremely beautiful the woman that I saved"
"Huee!?"
Somehow, a weird voice came out of her mouth. It's somewhat cute.
At first, I didn't notice it because she's wearing a thick cloak, but---
This woman, she's outrageously beautiful.
Although her figure is extremely delicate, a small part of her assertiveness was extremely intense. She has almost no exposure, but the bulging of her chest that was covered by the clothes seems to be very cramped. If you made even a slight cut, it would surely cause her clothes to burst open under the internal pressure.
And her face that can be glimpsed through the opening of her cloak is so beautiful that it is not exaggeration to call her the 'Goddess'.
When I look carefully even more, the clothes she's wearing is plain, but the materials seem to be excellent.
"Umm... it is embarrassing... if you stare at me so seriously like that..."
"Oh, sorry about that. I was too fascinated by your excessive beauty."
"E, even... if you flatter me like that."
"It's not a flattery, but my true feelings, though."
"Auuuu..."
When I said another words to the humble woman, her face turned bright red and looked down. Is she not used on being praised too much?
Witnessing such a beautiful woman being bashful, my face forms a smirk. My heart feels warm and fluffy.
--- Do I really have no choice but to change the day of going to the Red-light District?
Even if I flirt with a prostitute immediately after I saw such a beautiful young lady, I'm sure her face would keep reappearing and I wouldn't be able to concentrate.
Let's change the schedule and for now,
"Shall we get out of here first? It's not a nice place to have a beautiful woman like you for a long time."
"No way --- saying that I'm beautiful."
"... Young lady?"
"--- Huh!? Wh, what is it?"
... I wonder if she's somewhat okay? This young lady.
She came to her senses at my voice, but it seems that her consciousness will fly again to a different direction, so it's difficult to speak to her. I, who's saying compliments at an unconscious level, am the cause, though.
But I want you to understand my feelings. It's a crime that she's so beautiful that it slipped out of my mouth automatically.
And her chest is big (This is the most important).
Or rather, this young lady when I think about it again. I wonder why is she on the road which likely to lead to the Red-light District? Judging from the good quality of her attire, I don't think she's living in this area at all.
However, my contemplation ended up getting interrupted instantly.
"---SA---, WHERE--- YOU---!!"
"---ET'S---LOOK---THERE---!!"
Angry voices could be heard from a distance in the cold back alley. The fact that their voice can be heard even though they can't be seen means that they are making a fairly loud voice.
The young lady was squirming with her hands on her cheeks, but as soon as she heard the voice from the distance, her shy expression disappeared and instead an irritated expression appeared.
--- Haa, I guess it can't be helped.
After I sighed, I took the young lady's hand.
"Eh?"
"Look, I'm going. As I don't want to stay in a place like this for too long."
"Ah, wai---"
Before the young lady say something, I pulled her hand and left the place. Then the angry voices becomes more distant.
I don't understand well the situation, but I presume that the young lady was probably being chased by the angry voices that can be heard earlier.
The young lady, who was confused at first, didn't try to shake off my hand, but instead grasped it firmly.
Together with the young lady I've just met, I ran through the unfamiliar back alley of the Royal Capital while praying not to enter a dead end.
