"Help!"
An energetic voice rang in the quiet forest. Running in the forest was a little girl, behind her, many big men chased her.
The little girl wore an exquisite dress, her fluttery red rose was raised by her small hand. She wore many pieces of jewelry and the makeup on her face added charm to her cute face.
The 16 years girl with a dark and teary face ran without looking back. Huffing and puffing, she couldn't breathe clearly. Her lungs lacked oxygen made her vision blurry.
The aching in her feet didn't help that much, she felt like giving up. But her last ounce of will didn't let hope go/
"HELP!"
With her little bit of strength, she screamed.
Her scream echoed.
Bam!
And she fell to the ground breathing roughly.
"Haha, you let us run so much, little girl."
A snicker came from a man who wore light armor, following him, other soldiers arrived there.
They looked like a soldier of an empire, while the girl looked, like a princess.
"Now, you won't be able to leave."
The creepy guy stretched his hand at her body, grabbing by her neck he lifted her.
"Urg!"
She groaned painfully.
"M-My father won't let you go!"
She threaten, but her small voice was ignored by them. The jewelry was taken off and so were her clothes, the soldiers cut them.
"No!"
As the bandit throw her to the ground, she covered her body with her hands. Her stomach and bare thighs were flashed. With a teary face, she glared at them.
"Haha! When your father will find you...you will be already dirty."
As he said that, the group walked closer to her.
"No, No...No, please."
She begged, and crawled backward. The creepy soldiers laughed and raised their hands.
Slice!
"Huh?"
Confusion floated for a moment, when they realized, it was too late. The soldiers who raised their hands flew 1 m far.
Blood gushed out from their wound and sprayed the ground.
"Hello, it's me your, friendly neighborhood..."
A voice echoed there, it reverberated in the girl's ear. She titled her head, but her heart throbbed with hope. Maybe she will survive.
Like how heroes made their entry, Ren jumped in front of the girl. But the difference was...He didn't look a bit cool.
"S-Slime?"
The girl' softly spoke in confusion. Ren ignored her words and looked at the bad guys.
He wanted to wear a cape like how heroes do, but, he didn't have one, and he was too short for that.
The soldiers glared at the slime gritting their teeth.
"Aaaaaaa!"
One bandit charged at him screaming like a madman. But before he even reached Ren, a fireball hit his teeth. Burning his face, the bone revealed.
The soldiers were shocked and tried to run but.
Slice!
The Head of one soldier was flung to the ground.
Nezumi blocked them from another side.
"Clean them off."
Ren ordered.
Nezumi nodded smiling slightly and raised her dagger.
Ren crawled to the scared girl.
"Hello, little girl. Who are you?"
The girl stared at Ren helplessly.
"A-Are you here to save me?" She said in a low voice.
"Yes, I am your hero." Ren showed off.
"Really?" The girl doubted.
"Really, really."
"Waaaah!"
As Ren agreed, the girl jumped on Ren and cried.
"Hic! T-They killed my sister. Sniff! T-They robbed our cart and killed all the soldiers"
Crying and snorting, she complained. Her little heart held back this much sorrow and let it out on all Ren.
"Yeah, yeah."
Ren comforted her like how a father comforts his daughter.
On the other hand, blood dyed the ground. Bodies of soldiers lay in their blood and died with terrified expressions on their face.
"Take her to the village."
Ren ordered Nezumi.
"Ok, milord."
She held the girl's hand softly. The trembling hand got a warmth, and a hug from Nezumi. The crying girl fell asleep on her shoulder, and she carried her to the village.
Ren looked at the soldiers. Eating them, he examined the content on their body. While a body was revealed, it didn't contain any info about its origin. So, he could just sigh.
After eating them, he wondered why were they so weak. But, he let out a breath and left the scene.
After returning to the village, Ren asked Nezumi.
"How's the girl?"
"She is fine...She just slept, it seems she went through a lot."
"Yeah, let's wait for the awake and ask for her origin."
"Ok, milord."
"Ok, then I am off."
Ren became energetic in a minute and went to the farm.
Now, looking at the village, one wouldn't dare to say it was the weak raccoons' village.
1 month has passed by, and the Arashi Village looked beautiful.
The paved road and the small river on the side added the charm. The concrete building made the village look neat.
Near the farm, a pond was built. The water left the pond and spread all over the farm. The water that came along the village was accumulated in the pond. Be it drinking or irrigating, this water was used for everything.
"Ok, wolves. Take them to the mine!"
The mining team and wolves soldier team are recruited.
The wolf is increasing day and day and became a resident of its own in the Arashi village. While they were ferocious at first, they became soon adapted to their role.
May it call fear for Ren or love from the village, the wolves learned to become polite.
"Now, I only need my own mount now."
Ren slimed and pumped his determination.
"Lord!"
Nezumi shouted at him.
"The girl is awake!"
As she said that, Ren smiled and followed her.
