Chereads / His Moonlight / Chapter 28 - Meeting Lisa

Chapter 28 - Meeting Lisa

She knows that the life of an adventurer is not easy, so she signed up for it.

Though she never knew that she should be aware of other adventurers and not the beasts or dungeons.

Chilve chose a request that is relatively easy, just to collect various seashells that can be made into a beautiful necklace for the wife of the requester. So they travelled for some time and finally they reached the nearby ocean, and while they were doing a search which went quite smoothly, Chilve said he heard someone screaming from afar. And of course Lune has to tell him that they should follow it, just in case someone is in need of help.

With Chilve's good sense of hearing, they reach a nearby village and a few huge bodied men are manhandling a girl, who seems to be of similar age of Lune, where they keep shouting about how she is a thief and they need to do a thorough body search on her. The girl, who has middle length red hair, is crying about how she never do anything and is screaming whenever their hands are touching inappropriately. The villagers that are watching doesn't help out with anything, and some are even talking about how they should punish the thieves themselves or else the authorities will not do much.

And before Chilve can have any say on this, Lune quickly steps forward and shouts, "what do you think you're doing to a poor girl you imbeciles?!"

He facepalms from Lune's choice of words and when they are a little shocked from the colorful language, the girl escapes from their sexual assault and trips, then she falls right in front of Lune where she helps her out while she begs, "please help me. I never steal anything… I just finished a request and they took my hard earned bounty that I planned to submit to the guild…"

"Bullshit, a thief will always be a thief!"

"Women should get married and stay at home, not to come out and be an adventurer!"

"Your father is a thief, of course you will be a thief!"

Chilve just prays to whatever god is watching that the men that just spoke to be alive enough after getting trashed by Lune, since he had seen first hand on how she can fight singlehandedly against a bear with two short swords and water magic, "do you have a death wish or something?"

"Woman, this doesn't concern you! Or do you want to get punished in her stead instead?" They laugh at how they can feel a beauty up without any resistance and when there's a sword at the neck of one, the rest tense up while the one getting the sword is complaining, "easy there. I doubt you know how to use one properly, so I might get hurt from your carelessness."

"Am I considered ignorant of the ways of the sword? Fine," she starts pressing harder, making him bleed and he winces from the pain while the rest approach her, wanting to grab the sword from her hand. Before they can do anything to her, a white blur shadow whizzes through the space and they get knocked down to the ground, and while they are confused, Chilve has their weapons in his hands and asks, "are you guys looking for these? Come get it then."

"Thieves!"

"Lots of you are still loud despite how much insult you had spouted towards women. And who is to say that a child of a thief will always be a thief? Give her back the stuff you robbed from her," the blade she holds is still pressing, which is hurt enough to leave a huge scar on there and if he doesn't comply soon, he might die from the bloodloss, "it's in my pocket! Please let me go!"

Lune's partner approaches and he takes out something that looks like a beast horn from his pocket and waves it at the girl victim, "is it this?" She nods quickly and Lune finally lets the man go by kicking him down, and before he can run away, Chilve tilts his head and asks, "who said pieces of shit like you can go?"

"It was just a misunderstanding!"

"I'm sure the authorities would love to have some talk with you about your actions today, hmm?" It seems the commotion is enough to make the local authorities, a few armored soldiers to come over and they start arresting the group of men, and Lune takes this chance to speak up, "and the villagers here! Don't think you are off the hook! Ignoring the cries of help can be considered as assisting criminals."

"Tch, who do you think you are to comment on what we do?!"

"We really thought she was the thief!"

And one of the guards shouted at the villagers, "shut up and go back to your work or we will arrest all of you too."

After the crowd disperses and the guards and criminals are gone, the girl from earlier sighs in relief and bows at Lune, "thank you the both of you! I thought I might lose my chastity at the rate they were going at earlier…"

"They are scumbags for trying to do that to you! And I'm just doing what my conscious tell me to do," the blonde is still a little mad at the ruffians behavior and sighs, "I should just chop their dic-"

"Lune, language," she pouts at how Chilve is becoming more and more like her linguistic tutor, and she points a finger at him, "and you! Can't I let off some steam by cursing them?"

"No matter how much you curse them, it's useless if they never got what you cursed them, and for the last time, no there's no voodoo dolls."

"By the way, my name is Lisa! Thanks again for the help," the redhead holds out her hand for a handshake and Lune takes it, "the name's Lune. The grumpy guy that always nags me is Chilve," Lisa chuckles at the introduction and she beams, "let me thank the both of you by treating you good food!"

And right at that timing, Lune's stomach growls and she accepts it shyly while Chilve is laughing silently.
