Chereads / Another World Chronicles / Chapter 8 - Chapter 08

Chapter 8 - Chapter 08

To get to the town, Hiro and company had to keep going. They exchanged words as a group. When they got to the midst of the forest, the four of them came to a halt. Armed robbers surrounded Hiro and his friends. As a result, they have no option but to stay put. They had laughing smiles on their faces as they laughed.

"There are 2 beautiful girls here!" said one of the robbers.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Listen, we—"

"Shut up kid! Hand over everything you have to us. Or I'll kill this girl!" cut the robber grinning while pointing a knife at him.

However, the words that were just said caused the four of them to take a deep breath. Hearing their comments dismayed Rina, Hiro, and Yumi. Nevertheless, Allen notices that the thieves' body language and speech patterns remind him of characters from Europe's Medieval Era—or the fantasy world as a whole And one of them had a distinct pirate appearance as it was looking to board a ship.

"Why is it like this?" Rina moaned as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Ricchan, put that idea out of your head and go back into focus."

Rina struggled to keep her dissatisfaction in check. Incomprehensible, Allen shook his head. During this time, Hiro starts to lose upon reality and the concept of isekai in anime. His assault on them is cut short as Allen jumps in front of him.

"Hiro, trust me with this. I'll defeat him," Allen was sure.

"Are you sure, old man?" He inquired suspiciously. Hiro poked the question to Allen.

The gray-haired elderly gentleman gave a firm nod. Hiro was unable to stop her. Allen drew two handguns from his waistband and pointed them at the crowd. He fought with a desert eagle pistol as a weapon. One of his most prized possessions. Allen's gun was lifted and pointed at one of the robbers' brows. Allen pressed the button on the gun. The bullet whizzed by at breakneck speed. Make a hole in the thief's skull with your gun. He was bleeding heavily after collapsing.

Hiro put his hands over his ears to keep the noise out. The rifle sounds were distracting. Rina and Yumi, unable to hold back their discomfort vomited their whole stomach contents. Allen was cool and composed when he killed someone, which surprised the females. So this is what he does for a living as a mercenary, right? She had no idea her life had been so depressing, Rina thought to herself as she wiped the saliva from her chin.

He repeatedly fired two handguns. When one of the assailants grabbed Allen from behind, the gray-haired elderly guy pushed him in the chin. There was blood on her lips and in her nostrils. The muscles in his right hand and whole body twitched. Took aim with my Desert Eagle pistol and fired three times at one of the thieves who was standing above me. Hold down the trigger until it produces a resounding, resonant noise. It hurt the thief, and he moaned. Allen's finger remained firmly on the trigger the whole time. There were 10 gunshots in each of their bodies when they were shot. One of them attacked Allen with a spear after he finished filling the magazine. However, he has a keen eye for seeing his opponent's next move. A little rightward twist of Allen's foot occurred. The pistol he was holding in his left hand was aimed at his right temple, and he fired one shot at it. Allen's face was covered in blood as he struggled to get to his feet. Take the thieves' minds off the game.

Yumi and Rina discover a sack full of money while Allen is busy killing the thieves. They figured it had something to do with the treasure that had accumulated as people walked past. The two of them agreed to make off with the coin bag. However, the shaven-headed thief grabbed Yumi's arm and dragged her away. Then he swung the knife around and stabbed the ponytail girl in the neck with the point. His neck was crimson with the drips of blood.

"Do not move!" grinning bald robber, without any sense of sin at all.

"Yumi!"

"Ricchan!"

"Damn it!" cursed Rina trying to stop the bald robbers.

Hiro and Rina had their spells ready to use. However, one of the mages and crooks brandished a wand and threatened them both with it. As if on cue, the end of his wand was pointing directly at Allen.

"If you move, I'll murder this girl!" said the bald robber, laughing.

Inner, Allen was cursing him. His firearm was finally down on the ground. Will not blunder about aimlessly. He was aware that the magician would eventually cast a magical spell on him. Allen had a grumpy expression on his face.

Rina's brow furrowed as a cold sweat beaded on her brow. He intends to be of assistance to his buddy. The unexpected, on the other hand, occurred quite quickly. In a fit of rage, the thief slashed Yumi's neck with his knife. As her body fell to the ground, Rina's eyes widened. Her body is awash with blood. Rina stepped back, mouth gaping, as she was startled. After that, she let out a frantic scream.

"Yumi!"

Yumi, on the other hand, was completely silent. Her fists clenched firmly in his lap. Keeping Rina's gaze locked till her brow furrows. In Rina's eyes, rage and hate for the thieves who had murdered her closest friend were clear.

"You guys! I won't forgive all of you for this!" Rina rebuked.

Rina used a magic trick. Hundreds of tiny magic runes surrounded her. The thieves who dared to raise their heads were startled. The earth shook, and a little fire was burning nearby. Large enough to upset the natural order around it. Birds took to the skies to escape Rina's enchantment.

"W-what's that power?" said the bald robber in fear.

"Stop it. We don't want to die!"

"Forgive us!" screamed the robbers in unison.

"Fuck off, all of you! You've been robbing innocent people! Continue to kill my best friend. So, you've waited until now to beg for my forgiveness? Why did you murder Yumi, huh? Answer right now!" The pupil of Rina's eye became crimson as she yelled at them. "I will never forgive all of you!"

They (Allen and Hiro) made an effort to halt the young lady. They sprinted up to the curly-haired girl, all of their power behind them. It was impossible to turn back the wind. It took a long time to track down the enraged Rina.

"Stop it!" shouted Hiro.

"It's useless, Hiro. She's hard to stop now because her magic is out of control. At this rate, she'll kill us all!" Allen explained.

"Then what should we do?" Hiro said in a piercing tone.

Allen was pressed for time. He made a decision and followed through on it. Shooting Rina right in the heart, specifically. Yumi clutched the gun's tip while pressing the trigger. He dropped Allen's desert eagle rifle and grinned widely. The unexpected arrival of Yumi startled the elderly guy. There were no signs of bald robbers slitting necks, which was surprising.

"Yumi. You—"

"No need to be so surprised, Allen-san. Don't worry. Let me stop Ricchan," said Yumi, still smiling. "Explain later. Now, we have to save her."

"Then hurry up," Allen said.

Yumi lunged at Rina's hundreds of circle magic runes. Her runes were aiming at Yumi. Dodged it reflexively and ran fast. Keep it away from the robbers. The ponytailed girl goes left or right. Yumi's presence on Rina's right side seems to go unnoticed by her. Rina doesn't seem to notice Yumi's presence from the right side. The thieves were taken out one by one by a single bullet to the neck. Once she arrived, Yumi rushed over to embrace Rina. A tight hug radiates warmth. Rina's eyes welled up with tears.

Rina was taken aback by the question, "Y-Yumi?"

"Were you expecting it, or were you expecting something else? I apologize for causing you concern, "he leaned up close to Rina and whispered something in her ear.

It didn't take long for the circle magic runes to vanish. A tree was nearly toppled by the force of the wind. The legs of both Allen and Hiro had begun to weaken. It was so relieving that both of them were unable to stand.

"Also, at some point, it came to an end. I had a sense of relief, "Hiro voiced his displeasure.

Rina, perplexed, said, "What's the problem with you two?"

If that's the case, how could you have done it without realizing it? Hiro complained in a low voice.

Rina squinted as she swung her gaze away. Even though Hiro had warned her, he had paid no attention to her. She reacted by tightening her embrace on Yumi. Everything had returned to normal after a brief flurry of activity. It's possible that Allen's only hope of stopping Rina is a long-term friendship. Until Allen started to feel envious of them because of their closeness.

The depth of their relationship is astounding, Allen said.

"Yes. Friends often turn on one other when it comes to love or money."

"Do you know whether that's the case in Japan as well? Because they are generally good friends, they may just desire it on occasion. As previously said," Hiro shrugged his shoulders and concluded.

"Please, Yumi, tell us what's going on. What strategies did you use to revive yours? Did God provide you the ability to rise from the dead?"

"I'm stumped. However, an unintended side effect of my [Resurrection Spell] began to take effect "Yumi's response was swift.

That caught Allen off guard, to say the least. [Resurrection Spell] is a brand-new kind of special-ability magic. Both Rina and Allen exchanged glances. When time is of the essence, the ponytail-haired girl's talent comes in handy.

"Then, what are some of the negative consequences? You can't possibly utilize that talent without being aware of the consequences, right?" Allen was curious.

"Old Man was correct when he stated that! Curious, what do you think?" Hiro agreed, confirming his earlier statement.

Yumi agreed to the request of three of them. Her fingers extended a column. Pressing the hologram and showing its status.

Name: Yumi Hitomachi

Age: 17 Tahun

Race: Otherworlder

Level: 1

Ability: [Resurrection Spell] 1x per day [Healing Magic] [Holy Spell]

Skill: [Monk's Aura] [Speed Boost]

Weapon: Diesel Gauntlet

Hiro, Rina, and Allen all took a step forward and spoke. Each of them gave the other a nod. Yumi's eyebrows went up in confusion as she cocked her head, unsure of what they were saying.

"It seems that [Resurrection Spell] has appeared which implies that it can only be used once. I assumed your ability was limited to a single-use each day. Unless you're the only one to whom it applies, "Allen was the one who was correctly identified. Your skills intrigue me, to be honest. Despite our high social position, nothing will change if we don't start training."

"In other words, the more we practice, the more talents and skills we develop and strengthen. As a result, our magic's ability is put to greater use, correct?" Said Rina with a questioning tone.

Rina had a valid point, and Allen had an answer for her. However, he was troubled by something. If the number of abilities exceeds the capacity of each individual's magical energy in the future, when will the outcome be proportionate? For example, how do you go up against someone who is stronger than you? Allen is still seeking an answer. However, for the time being, the grey-haired elderly guy planned to gather knowledge in order to get familiar with this new environment.

Yumi, meantime, notices that the thieves have begun to move. The waist, back, legs, and arms of some of them seem to be uncomfortable. She then sank into a squat and stared intently at the hoodlums.

An armed robber stuttered, "D-d-damn... why are you even alive?"

"Do you want to learn more? I'm going to hit you in the face."

Yumi repeatedly hit him in the stomach. The thief was dizzy and nauseated. Until he was completely out of it and lying on the ground, unconscious. In Yumi's eyes, there was a sight of dazzling gold, as well as a wicked grin. A chill ran down the thieves' spines as they realized what was going on inside Yumi's body. Allen and Hiro exchanged nods. They stood their ground and faced the assailants together.

"Tell us about it. What city or town is the nearest to where I am? If you're going the wrong way. Prepare, you scumbag!" Hiro extended his fingers. Allen nodded his head in agreement with what he had just said.

"D-d-damn!"

"Boss! What's going on here? We've been set up as the incorrect prey!" the robber shrieked in agony.

"I couldn't care about it. Put an end to them all!" Declared the red-bandana bandit leader.

The top robber's warnings, on the other hand, went unheeded. His guys made the decision to flee in terror and did what they were told. Allen was not going to let them go. He fired one round into each thigh. The cries came in waves, and they tore at Allen's eardrums. Hiro could have dealt with them without resorting to violence. One of the thieves got punched in the back. Screams could be heard as soon as his corpse hit the ground. Hiro's lips were pursed as he let out a sigh. After he beat him, a sword appeared on his back. Greatsword, also known as Pedang Besar in the Indonesian language. So how did he get up with that sword, huh? Allen had an idea.

"Hiro-san, you are very talented! Is it possible for your blade to change its shape? "Yumi slipped in a query unnoticed by the others.

"I'm stumped. This blade went from black to bright orange all of a sudden. Why don't you ask why it wasn't perfect the first time? No doubt about it, the name of this sword's blade is Grandark." Hiro gave a noncommittal reply.

"You've heard of Grandark?" Allen mumbled under his breath.

The [Book of Creator] was utilized by Rina, in contrast. You're staring at a notebook-sized book when it appears in front of you. There is an orange reading marker on the brown cover. He performed a spell to summon monsters as dozens of pages unfolded in front of him.

"[Summon]! [Rabbit Horns]!" Rina's scream bounced off the walls.

Rina was staring at a medium-sized circle-shaped magic rune when it appeared in front of her. There was an appearance of a horned rabbit. Prepare to make a savage lunge at the fleeing thugs. Put a horn through their heart. The greater the period of time, the greater the number of Rabbit Horns. The thieves collapsed one by one. Screams of agony interspersed with cries for assistance.

"I have one last thing to say!" He grinned wickedly and kept an evil eye on the thieves.

"You can have it all! Please do not hurt us in any way!" The surviving thieves shouted.

"Exactly. It's all because of the Boss, who gave us the order to eliminate you four."

"You traitors!" screamed the gang's leader, who had not anticipated that any of his guys would turn traitor in his face.

"I'm not interested in what you're saying. Here, have some fun with it!" The thief was struck in the face by a blow delivered by the long-haired girl.

Allen, on the other hand, halted Rina in her tracks. They were locked in intense conversation as they looked at each other. Allen was well-prepared for the following step in the game.

"Let go of me! They were about to murder Yumi right in front of my own eyes!"

"Rina, take a deep breath and relax. We'll be able to benefit from their weaknesses. Take them and turn them up to the authorities. Simple as that! We should be rewarded for our efforts, what's the problem?" Allen's argument brings up many of the thieves who have perished.

"Allen, what the hell are you thinking? Only guards and knights are police here. After all, the criminals' lives aren't worth what they've done to helpless civilians! They have no right to be alive! Allen, we need to take care of business right now. Is Yumi correct?" Rina protested as Yumi turned to look at her.

Yuki shook her head and said, "No way," before walking away. He was well aware that killing them would have the opposite effect of solving the issue. That way, even if it did kill them, they'd know why Rina did it. Hiro's right hand shot up in the air as he had a lightbulb moment.

"The Guild is the only place where they may be found. I'm used to playing video games on the internet. Because they're bothering the residents and have an unsavory reputation, it's preferable to send them there. Who knows, we may be able to make some money there without even trying. We may also join the Guild and steal from thieves for extra cash! So you're saying you can catch three birds with one stone?"

When Rina had finished thinking about what the brown-haired youngster had said, she let out a sigh of relief. She realized it was too early to murder the thieves since she didn't know where they came from. This will make things more difficult in the future.

"Hiro-san, you might provide an additional suggestion. What really is up, Allen-san? "asked Yumi with a smile.

"It's not bad, in my opinion. After all, knowledge is the price of survival," Allen remarked, shrugging.

'Are you tricking me, old man?' Hiro complained in a low voice.

"No, not at all. I'm amazed you can walk with such a sluggish intellect."

Wow, that's terrible.

"You two need to learn to relax. In particular, Allen-san was a great help. Avoid escalating the situation," Yumi moaned while mediating between the two parties.

Hiro was met by Allen's menacing grin. The young man with dark hair had a frown on his face. However, what Hiro stated was correct. The first reason I agree with this idea is that there is a dearth of knowledge. Hiro's idea, He believes. Furthermore, all four of them were in the dark. As a result, seizing the opportunity to apprehend the thieves was the correct move.

"If you agree, then I'm OK. We'll bring them to the Guild, Rina "Allen made the comment.

"Allen-san, the decision is yours. For the time being, I'll follow Yumi's lead." Rina sighed as she listened to Allen's remarks, resignedly.

The four of them came to an agreement and decided to go to a city where there was a Guild. The thieves could do nothing except gaze down at the floor. Give up on what will happen to them in the future, whatever it may be.
