A cooperate between them already formed. They immediately rushed to leave the area. With cautiously, they hid from their enemies, evading from their chases.
Amidst their hid, Adolph led the way to their exit effective path. Not only serving as a guide, but she also detected their enemy movements, giving Nagao a signal to move wherever she aimed for. On the other hand, Nagao contributed to the strength aspect for carrying Adolph. As those results, for a while, they could avoid their chases.
Now, they arrived at the slums. Soon as their found a perfect spot to hide, they took a rest. Amidst their rest, Adolph immediately changed some of her outfit, wearing her black long boots and brown trousers amidst their disguises. Nagao who saw her demeanors, only sighing and turning his away for a moment ...
"Tell me if you done,"
Eventually, Adolph replied to him,
"Like I said before, don't bother the small things. But ...," she sighed faintly. "Thanks for that."
As she already wore her trousers. She responded to him,
"Done."
Seeing that she already changed her outfit, Nagao gave her some food that he brought before. She accepted his food, eating together solemnly.
Clear with their foods, they patched their wounds for a while, starting to walk again. However, Adolph's condition got same, making she unease to walk normally. Realizing this matter ...
"Here!" while kneeling on his self, giving her a piggyback. Nagao looked at her amidst his shoulders. "Let's go!"
Realizing what Nagao was doing, she only nodded faintly, laying on Nagao's piggyback.
Amidst their run from enemies' chase, both Nagao and Adolph only silent. Even their words only spoke when Nagao asked her about the route ...
"This way?" Nagao asked her.
"Yeah." She just replied concisely him, nodding slightly.
After a while of walking, Nagao and Adolph arrived at the shortcut path that Nagao used to walk. Nagao looked amidst his shoulders, looking at any sign of their enemies. Realizing that no one was behind them, Nagao only sighed for a moment ...
"Finally! We evade their chases!" He relieved with his feeling.
Abruptly, Adolph pinched his waists ...
*Pinch!*
"Ouch! Ouch! W-why are you pinch my waist, dammit?!"
Annoyedly, Adolph replied,
"Your hands on my ass, stupid! You even squish it several times! Don't you realize that??!" she irritated, making slight red blush on her face.
Nagao immediately saw his hands, realizing that his hands on her ass in entire time ...
"Well, it can't be helped for it since you laid on my piggyback and we ran from their chases!"
"Tch!" her annoyed tone. "Your lies make me sick! Like a pervert person"
"I even didn't intend it!" while sighing. "Forget it! For now, let's go to my acquaintance's place to treat our wounds!"
They immediately headed toward Mr. Schmidt's shop. As they walked only a few steps, they saw four troops, guarding the shortcut path.
Realizing their presences, Nagao and Adolph who already in disguise mode, tried to maintain their attitude like a normal person. With these attitudes, Nagao and Adolph could passing by them. Unfortunately, one of the troops -the same height as Nagao- reacted,
"Stop both of you! You aren't allowed to go any further than this!"
"What's wrong, Sir Knight? We only passed for our medication only to the town," Nagao replied formally.
"You are not allowed to go this way. Now, go back!" said the same troop.
"This isn't fair!" Nagao denied his words. "We have our reasons. How can we not be able to be allowed to get through this path?"
Then, one of the troops -have a bulky body- commented harshly to Nagao,
"Go back before these punches lands on your face, you worthless scum!" While cracking his knuckles.
Realizing the demeanors they received, both Nagao and Adolph turned their head, seeing each other. For a moment, they were silent, but Adolph asked him,
"So?"
"You already know it!" Nagao smiled, letting her down from his back and Adolph dashed to the bulky body troop.
"Hey—!" Before he finished his sentences, the troop got a hard kick, aiming at his genital. "!!"
*Thud!*
The troop winced in agony pain, falling in his knees. Simultaneously, Adolph who took Nagao's dagger from his waist before, stabbed the neck's troop with it ...
*Shrrock!*
He instantly died due to obstruction of his respiratory tract. The remaining troops shocked at that incident, immediately taking charge to Nagao and Adolph.
Aware of their conditions, Nagao approached the thin-body troop, slamming him on the ground. Several bones of his ribs snapped with loud crack ...
*Slam!* *Crack!*
"Buargh!" Thin-body troop hissed in agony, making his blood came out of his mouth and passed out eventually.
On the different side, Adolph stabbed vital points in The fat troop. His chest until neck became her target stabs ...
*Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!*
Just like the other troops, The fat troop died swiftly. Now, only The troop with the same height as Nagao was left. He started to take something from his pocket. However ...
*Stab!*
He was being stabbed in his chest by Adolph. In the end, all of the troops collapsed on the ground. Realizing these situations, Nagao reacted,
"My dagger!" While asking for his dagger to Adolph.
Adolph gave it to him. As soon as Nagao got his dagger back, he directly headed to The thin-body troop. When he stood before him ...
*Stab!* *Stab!* *Stab!*
"You stabbed several times even though you knocked him before? What are you? A Butcher with hatred or something?" Adolph reacted, smirking at him.
"Just in case!" while drawing his dagger from the troop's neck. "Let's go!" Nagao gave her a piggyback again, walking together to their destination.
Unfortunately, from behind of them, a voice came out from The troop with the same height as Nagao. He's took something from his pocket, screaming to Nagao and Adolph,
"Even if I was dying ... you... won't... be able to escape ...!" He ignited the fire, lighting a flare and aiming the flare on the air.
The flare flew up on the sky, exploding like a rocket parachute flare. The moment Adolph saw that situation, she reacted,
"Let us run!"
"Eh?! Why are you so panic like that?? We haven't killed him yet!"
"Of course, dumbass!" while pulling Nagao's hair. "That's their signal to summon the other troops. Moreover, he was about to die. Our safety matters first!" Adolph said assertively.
Inevitably, Nagao left that enemy alone, carrying Adolph to Mr. Schmidt's place. While Nagao and Adolph were already running for their life, the last troop got much blood lost, making him died instantly after he ignited his flare.
Amidst their running, Nagao got a notification from the status board, appearing before him ...
["Hide and seek": you must hide from the enemy's chase to get to Mr. Schmidt's place.] [04:39]
(Fuck! I must run no matter what!) Nagao thought within himself, carrying Adolph in his back as hard as he did.
His run got through several spots, dashing hardly to get to Mr. Schmidt's place. Although he got exhausted and his legs got cramp, Nagao held his struggle ...
"Come on ... almost ... there!" An exhausted expression fixed on his face. His face veins saw clearly.
After several times running while carrying Adolph, eventually they arrived in front of Mr. Schmidt's place ...
*Creaaaaak!*
Nagao opened the door, sighing heavily when they came into Mr. Schmidt's shop. Mr. Schmidt who noticed someone's arrival, reacted,
"Welcome to Mr. Schmidt's hood—Brat??!!" Mr. Schmidt immediately helped Nagao, letting Adolph down from his back. "Not gonna lie, you got me!" while looking at the person Nagao brought. "Who's this? Yer lady??"
Nagao only gave his signal by his hand, holding his answer while breathing in-out several times and sitting on floor. As Nagao could ease his breaths, he replied,
"Before that, please borrow your room for the time being!"
***
After I put Adolph in the same room as myself, I started to put things in order, throwing away my disguise clothes in the corner of the room. I swiftly cleaned myself, borrowing Mr. Schmidt's bath.
Amidst my bath activities, several notifications popped up before me, immediately looking at them ...

"Huh??!"
