Chapter 5
After leaving the village, takeshi had already walked an hour towards the city to the west. He feels the refreshing breeze it brings to him, leaving his hair swaying on all sides.
-"the weather is nice today, maybe I should stop to eat"(takeshi)
Takeshi stops by a tree to rest. Takeshi takes out one of the sandwiches he still had in his backpack to regain his strength.
-"Itadakimasu... Oishi!!, the sandwich is very good!" (takeshi)
After finishing the sandwich. Takeshi picks up his things and starts walking again.
Takeshi walked for over 1 hour without finding anything dangerous or interesting. And the sun was about to set, which was good for him since he didn't want to get into a fight... Or so he thought.
Takeshi began to hear cries for help coming from within the forest.
-"Somebody, somebody help me!"
Without thinking twice, takeshi runs into the forest.
Takeshi tried to follow the screams that got louder
-"someone help me!-"
-"quiet"
Takeshi arrives where a person's screams echoed nearby. Dangerous people, the only kind of problem that takeshi couldn't deal with them in quantity.
Next to the person he had asked for help, there were 4 people wearing leather clothes. They said things very low to her. Maybe they were the thieves that alfred said weren't the only problem. Takeshi looks at the person who was tied up and thrown on the ground. She was a girl, she looked like royalty, her clothes were torn and worn out. whatever was not a good thing
Takeshi thought of a plan to defeat the thieves. He wasn't the best in strength but he played games that needed all his knowledge to defeat any enemy without casualties.
Knowing that he alone could not defeat the 4, takeshi wanted to separate each of them. So that it would be easier to free the girl
-"(okay let's go)"(takeshi)
-"hey, can we abuse her?" (thief1)
-"of course no idiot, she is valuable for the merchandise"(thief2)
-"right, right, it was bad" (thief1)
-"boss, how long will it take for him to arrive, and it's dangerous for us to stay here" (thief3)
-"What's wrong, are you afraid?"(thief4)
-"I'm worried, that's all!" (thief3)
-"don't worry, he should be here soon" (thief2)
-"(Hmm... More of them will come, this will be a problem)"(takeshi)
Takeshi needed to be strong if he needed to kill one of the thieves to free the girl. As much as he didn't want to kill, it would be necessary in this new world.
Takeshi picks up a rock and throws it to get their attention.
-"who's there!? (thief2)
-"Is it the girl's reinforcements? (thief3)
-"it doesn't matter, we need to hold on until he arrives. You go left" (thief2)
-"right"(thief1)
-"you, go to the right"(thief2)
-"right"(thief4)
-"I'll go in the middle, meanwhile you keep an eye on her" (thief2)
-"but che-"(thief3)
-"let's go!"(thief2)
The robbers ran into the forest leaving the (thief3) on watch with the girl.
-"(well, the scared one was the only one who had to stay, it makes things much easier)" (takeshi)
-"(The plan turned out exactly as expected. Those strategy games have done a lot of help now. Come on, I can't waste time)"(takeshi)
Takeshi ran at him and hit him as hard as he could with the hilt of his katana. Fortunately (thief3) fell unconscious. The girl who was tied up was conscious and started to make noise as a way to help
-"Hmmm!! Hmmmm!!"
Takeshi puts his hand over her mouth to stop drawing attention
-"keep silence, otherwise it won't be all in vain, understood?" (takeshi)
The girl nods.
-"great"(takeshi)
Takeshi starts untying the girl.
-"ready, can you walk?"(takeshi)
-"y-yes"
takeshi reaches out to her
-"take my hand, we can't waste time"(takeshi)
After the girl takes the takeshi hand, the two start running as fast as they can.
After running a lot, it starts to get dark, this was a perfect advantage for the takeshi, who needed to hide in order to despise the thieves if they were followed.
-"let's go this way"(takeshi)
-"wait"
-"what happened?"(takeshi)
-" -harf - harf- th-I'm tired, c-let's get some rest"
-"we don't have time, come I'll carry you" (takeshi)
-"hey what's fazen-uwa?!"
Takeshi holds the girl in his arms like a princess.
-"Hold on to me"(takeshi)
-"w-right"
The girl starts to blush.
Takeshi starts running in another direction
After a while takeshi finds a cave that seemed uninhabited. They hide in the cave.
-"okay, we have to spend the night here. It's dangerous out there" (takeshi)
The girl's belly starts to rumble. She is embarrassed.
-"do not laugh!"
-"I'm not laughing. Here take it"(takeshi)
Takeshi takes it and gives the last sandwich he had in his bag to the girl.
-"thanks"
She looks down shyly.
-"Are you thirsty?"(takeshi)
-"Yes"
Takeshi hands her a bottle of water.
-"it's not a good time for this but... what's your name?" (takeshi)
-"don't you know about me and my kingdom?"
-"not really"(takeshi)
-"All right then. I am rin shizure, the first heiress of the koroko kingdom. And you, who are you?"
-"I'm kuro takeshi, I'm no one noble but nice to meet you"(takeshi)
-"What do you mean, nobody noble?!. You have this sword there with you" (shizure)
-"this was a gift from someone important to me. (sorry shizure but you can't know I came from another world) well... Leaving that aside, how did you get caught by them?" (takeshi
Shizure looks away at takeshi's question.
-"ah!, it's ok if you don't want to talk about it" (takeshi)
-"no... no problem"(shizure)
Shizure takes a deep breath before speaking.
-"I was betrayed. Someone set me up. I needed to leave the kingdom to deal with peace matters with my father, but that's when they attacked. They killed my only two soldiers" (shizure)
This story seemed nostalgic for takeshi. He wondered why he had thought that
-"ehh... What were the names of the two who were with you" (takeshi)
-"hajiro and midori... It was horrible what they did to midori, hmm?, takeshi you're ok, you look pale" (shizure)
Takeshi takes the two nameplates he had taken from his bag and hands them to shizure as he looks away.
-"I'm sorry I stole your carriage, I didn't know what happened there" (takeshi)
-"y-you passed by there!, please tell me everything that happened, I beg you" (shizure)
Takeshi was confused. He thought he would be charged with theft and perhaps an accomplice to the murder. But instead he sees shizuru on his knees begging for him.
-"okay, I'll tell you" (takeshi)
Takeshi told everything that happened when he saw the carriage. As he spoke he noticed things that would never come to the case. Like why there was a purse hidden in the bank or where there was hajiro, that there was only your name tag next to your purse. He had lost, he didn't have time to catch her or... He was an accomplice of betrayal.
Shizuru was relieved that her father might be alive, she didn't realize the real situation yet.
-"thank god...my dad may still be alive"(shizure)
-"you should be careful"(takeshi)
-"why?"(shizure)
-"I think hajiro was complicit in his assassination attempt" (takeshi)
-"what makes you think that?"(shizure)
-"it's a chance, I'm not sure yet. But I can find out with your help" (takeshi)
-"how can I help?"(shizure)
-"tell me how everything happened in the carriage when you left" (takeshi)
