[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
The red haired girl stood in front of Rance, observing his body as much as he observed hers.
"Of course, good noon to you too, human." She replied at his greeting, crossing her arms as she thought about something else. "You are Rance Roswell, right? The one who defeated a Dark Lord from the opposing faction twice?"
"Me? Of course I'm Rance Roswell." After he replied, the girl's confidence grew up.
This man, was actually who she was looking for. This man will be a great asset for her and the faction she was in!
No matter how much it takes, she'll have to force him out of
Taking out her riding crop and slamming it on the ground, she began to use cruel tactics to force him into their group.
"Join Satella right now! Or else this town will be destroyed!" She spoke confidently, thinking he might react to these words. Also, she seems to be speaking in third person.
"...?" (Rance)
Rance only stared at her as if she was an idiot.
"I've got no time to deal with women like you. I'm going back inside, not before saying I've been through this several times before." He spoke, grabbing the doorknob and was about to close the door, when....
"Human! You're really pushing Satella into doing something terrible, you know! She might make her servants destroy a building or make her do so herself!"
"Yeah? Prove it." Rance spoke, wanting her to give herself an opening, and actually succeeding as she looked around and extended one of her hands to a random building.
Before she could cast a spell, Rance jumped towards her and punched her Solar Plexus successfully, making her cough out saliva.
For a moment, when the two humanoids noticed Satella get actually damaged by an ordinary human, one of them, something that was built for speed and acrobatics, jumped towards Satella to retrieve their master, and the other raised his axe up and slammed it towards Rance.
Yet a statue similar to them moved and began to dash from a pillar it was stationed to and blocked the axe with it's massive shield, creating two cracks around it's feet when blocking the force from the axe.
"You shall not go any further...." It said, as when it looked at Rance, he seemed to be grinning. Something good must be on his mind
"Stone Guardian Kirov.... Fend them off, my job is done here."
"Understood." Kirov leaped and pushed away the massive axe before sending a stone filled fist towards the larger humanoid, pushing it back a few inches. Stone Guardian Kirov was created before the time Rance was almost done saving the last of the four witches of Custom.
The humanoid it punched suddenly retreated towards Satella, confusing it for a moment,
"Mistress Satella... Are you okay?" It spoke, as the Dark Lord coughed out a few times, with a blushing face that practically surprised Rance when he saw it.
"Caesar, Satella is fine.... Damn it, Satella let her guard down...." Satella replied, wiping her mouth before glaring at Rance with a murmur. ".... Tsk! Satella won't forget this..."
"Rance! Satella will give chase to take you forcibly, consider this your free time, human. Isis, Caesar! Let us return!"
And just like that, she left with both her Stone Guardians following her, not before Caesar and Isis glared with pure hostility at Rance. A small glow engulfed the three, after that, they were gone.
"Yeah. See you later, sensitive skinned girl." Rance spoke, gesturing Kirov to return to his position while repairing the damage caused by the very short battle that happened just now with magic.
Kirov hopped to a pillar nearby, put his shield down, stabbed his sword on a stand behind it and began to observe what was in front of Rance's house to defend against intruders.
And inside his house....
"What the hell was that?!" Kanami asked Rance, barely being able to comprehend what was happening with several expressions of . "Th-there's another Dark Lord here? And she definitely wanted you to join her...."
".... I'm scared..." Kanami had continued, thinking of several different scenarios that were technically dark.
"Stop that train of thought, Kanami!" Rance shouted, karate chopping her head and making her squeak in pain. "You know that I'm a very strong man, right? No challenges will halt me! Don't forget that!"
"I understand... but..."
Rance put his hand on Kanami's shoulder, and lifted her chin for her to look at him in the eyes.
"You still need to rest for a long while. You're exhausted, after all. You can use the guest room located in front of a room with an "R" upstairs."
Kanami nodded, sighing as she recollected her thoughts. She truly was tired.
While she began to walk upstairs, she looked back at Rance, before facing him. She immediately turned her torso 90 degrees forward.
"Thank you, Sir Roswell!"
"Heh, calling me by my first name, Rance is fine too!"
The next day, they'd already have the proper equipment for going to the east.

"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! Damn you to hell, human!!!" Satella shouted, slamming her fist to a tree that was becoming more dented the more she slammed her fist. "Tsk...! Satella will definitely make you pay!!!"
With another punch that wasn't being held back, the tree she punched split and fell aside.
She was humiliated. By a single punch nonetheless. Due to her sensitive body, she was humiliatingly aroused too. Some liquid came down from her crotch, and she definitely wanted to wipe it all away.
"How was that even possible! How could a human like him even hurt a Dark Lord like Satella!! Impossible!!!!"
On the sidelines, Caesar and Isis stared at their creator.
"Lady Satella...."
Isis couldn't speak, yet by body language alone, he was enraged and embarrassed that they let Satella be hurt. By a normal human nonetheless.
