The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

chapter 8



8. runaway (2)

‘All in all, the three thieves… .’

The probability of encountering the three thieves on the field is approximately 0.3%.

Meeting them through those odds was a situation where I literally had no luck.

All of my plans are in a state that doesn’t assume them.

Kate, too, felt the seriousness of the situation and began to calmly shake her body.

“Me, teachers. What are you doing? at this late hour.”

“Lady, this has been our area since ancient times. The owner is there, but he’s trying to pass by without paying the toll.”

“I have no face. It was a car that was the first road… Or, how much can I give you?”

Kate tried to talk to the guy called ‘Brother’ and, surprisingly, tried to pay the toll right away.

Why do merchants accept orders from adventurers to escort wagons?

Isn’t that just to avoid being ripped off by these thieves?

I tried to open my mouth to stop Kate from paying the money, but…

“Kate, this is… ”

“Don’t interrupt what adults are talking about. Brother, this is not your problem.”

She interrupted me with a stern voice.

Even calling me younger brother…

I wasn’t so stupid that I didn’t know the meaning of the word.

‘… Are you trying to cover me?’

It’s not your problem – that said.

That would mean I’m not an opponent I can beat.

That’s why I’m going to quietly ask how much the toll is.

“… … ”

“Kill-kill, the kid is missing!”

“Tongue, older brother is talking! Go and suck some more mother’s milk.”

The small puppies around me were saying something, but I moderately ignored it.

First of all, as the employer is Kate, I will have to follow her orders.

With that thought in mind, I kept my mouth shut.

“Let’s see, lady… The wagons look thick, but are they quite expensive?”

“It can’t be… Most of them are just plain ingredients. It is common in the North and rare in the East, so it is not very expensive.”

What Kate said was true.

Even when seen from inside the carriage, the only things she bought were northern specialties.

I couldn’t find anything expensive with my eyes open.

However, the boss who heard that said with a mean laugh.

“I get it. The toll is 3 gold coins.”

“That, three gold coins… ?! That is impossible!”

Kate’s expression, which somehow maintained a poker face, collapsed.

You can buy street food like chicken skewers on the street for about 10 fairy tales.

100 such fairy tales are collected to get one silver coin. If you collect 100 silver coins, you get 1 gold coin.

What Kelton is carrying in his wagon are miscellaneous ingredients that can only be obtained in the North…

Even if I sell all of them, I want to be able to get one gold coin.

In a word, these guys are asking me to pay more than the cost of the items in the wagon.

“If you don’t like… Yeah, why don’t you play with us a little bit? If it’s a lady’s body… I’ll give you about 50 silver coins per game.”

“… giggles!”

“Well, just take me to the hideout, bro. I’m in a bit of a hurry… !”

His expression crumpled at the disgusting situation where he could not open his eyes and see.

How can you say that in public?

I glared at them with a firm expression, but when I saw Kate, who seemed to have no choice but to fall, I became even more angry.

“Kelkel, you are straining your eyes to say that you are in front of your younger brother… Right, guys?”

“Chiggle… ”

“Dah, just give me 3 seconds. Either give the money, or give the body.”

Thieves flirting with each other.

At first, the skill with the bow, which aimed precisely at me, was a bit surprising, but

Except for the ‘Brother’ mob, his skills don’t look very good.

No matter how much I am in the body of a 15-year-old-

I didn’t think I would lose to these guys.

“3!”

“Hey, don’t do this. Even if you rob all of the items and money in the first place, it’s less than two gold coins… !”

The guy called the boss started counting in a loud voice.

It was only then that Kate’s body began to tremble.

It wasn’t pleasant at all to see her frightened, who was so friendly.

“2!”

I quickly checked their movements with a sidelong glance.

The man with the bow did not draw the bowstring,

The one with the sword hadn’t even taken it out of the scabbard yet.

The same goes for the boss.

Arms crossed, he shouted out the numbers vigorously.

This was something I just had to do.

“One!”

“Look here.”

-paat

The moment I shouted 1, I stretched my left hand up.

A black orb protruded from his left hand and sucked in the surrounding light.

It was ‘Black Ball’, a dark-based basic magic that steals the eyesight of enemies.

“Wow!? this child… Did you learn magic?”

Due to the effect of ‘Black Ball’, their vision must have been blocked.

I used the skill right away.

In the blink of an eye, my body melted into the shadows.

The place that appeared before long was the back of an archer who was foolishly looking around.

Targeting the long-distance dealer first was the basis of the game.

“Tongue, brother… gurgling!”

Chew! With a scream, the guy grabbed his neck and collapsed.

He took the lead with his passive, and he was a small-scale guy enough to feel like an overkill.

“What, what-“

“Kevin, why!”

Leaving behind the thieves who were surprised by the death of the fallen guy, take care of the guy next to his older brother.

He swung the dagger and cut his throat, and the blood splattered along with the terrifying sensation of cutting his head.

“Keep it off…”

With the sound of a pig picking, the guy who grabbed his neck collapsed.

While dodging the falling corpse, I turned my gaze to the boss this time, but-

“aaa!!

– Booung! Booung!

Perhaps noticing what his colleagues had suffered, the enraged guy swung his greatsword at random.

I, who was nearby, barely escaped his attack radius.

‘I tried to cover it easily… I can’t do it either.’

It’s hard to get close like this because he swings like crazy.

Eventually, I backed off and waited for him to tire out.

However, the duration of ‘Black Ball’ ended before the boss got tired.

“이, 이 씨발새끼가… ”

The boss, who had barely regained sight, saw his comrades who had become corpses and gnashed his teeth.

The bloodshot eyes and wriggling muscles were quite burdensome.

Even if they are training, it will not be an easy fight because there is a difference in experience, reach, and ability.

“aaa!!”

‘Brother’, who rushed mercilessly, poured out an attack full of life.

It was probably the effect of the skill called Continuous Slash.

All I was given was a dagger.

Using a dagger to block a greatsword charging at full force is an act of suicide.

Having made that decision, I decided to just dodge his attack.

Fortunately, his agility was lower than mine, so there was no big problem in avoiding attacks.

The degree to which the collar brushes when the reaction is slightly delayed.

“Heh… heh… oh my… you bastard…”

The thief’s breathing quickened, and his movements lost their original anticipation.

Hearing his colleague’s scream, he cut himself at random once,

In anger at losing his comrade, he swung his greatsword with all his might.

No matter how much you train your body, this is bound to make you tired.

‘Now, is it my turn?’

-Tadat!

Right after the greatsword was completely mishandled, I suddenly accelerated and rushed at him.

While he was flustered, he raised his strength again and raised his greatsword…

‘Throwing a dagger.’

I had to change the trajectory of the greatsword to block my skill.

The daggers forged from Ki aimed precisely at the vital point in the groin.

right after-

I took out a new dagger from my bosom and cut his throat,

The man who was called Big Brother collapsed on the floor just like his colleagues.

It was the moment when he wiped out the group of ‘thieves’ by himself.

“Whoa… Whoa… ”

Look around.

Blood spewing from the necks of the thieves is the scenery of the road.

The eyes that lost their light were quite creepy, but I just saw a high-level hate picture.

Rather, I thought it was a word that would suit the guys who raped women as if they were eating.

“Kate, I killed them all. What should I do?”

“… What? What?”

Kate was frozen in the wagon, just as she was negotiating with the boss.

After that, he made a bewildered noise, and his eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.

It was like a scene from a cartoon, so it was a little funny.

“Oh, no, this is Schmitz… You said you took care of it… ?”

“Well, these guys seem to be pretty famous, should I cut their throats?”

“Yes, yes! Do it. You can take all the bounties.”

Could it be because he witnessed the scene of the slaughter with his own two eyes?

It is she who has been respectful, forgetting even Chunchu.

Wouldn’t it be nice to transfer the bounty for now?

“Ugh… smell.”

As the heat of the battlefield faded, only the foul smell of blood filled the surroundings.

I didn’t have any regular clothes, so the butler’s clothes…

It was messed up with blood and dust from the previous battle, and there were cut marks here and there.

If you get a bounty, you should buy some clothes and some weapons.

If I had just one more dagger, I would have been able to finish the battle more easily.

While I was living, I thought that I should buy some magical tools that could be used in battle, such as a dagger.

“Ah Mr. Schmitz… that… ”

“Please feel free to call me like before. I don’t know if it’s thieves, but they won’t hurt Kate-san.”

“Yeah, but… ”

“Or are you going to continue to show respect to your cute younger sister, older sister?”

“Poop… okay. I’ll give you a bag, so put their necks in it. Since he wasn’t skilled at stealing once or twice, there must be a bounty on him.”

Kate handed me a generously sized pouch, and I gathered the thieves’ necks without much emotion.

Rather than being gross, each and every one of them looked like a line of money, so it was rather exhilarating.

“By the way, you were a better guy than I thought, weren’t you?”

“They’re just weak.”

“Damn it, humility… Anyway, I’m glad you’re there. Hey, it feels good! Jerky for dinner tonight!”

“No, I didn’t buy it to sell… ? More than that, it’s suffocating… ”

Kate regained her composure and the carriage started again.

Kate seemed to have complete trust in me, holding me next to me in the driver’s seat and not letting go.

Kate and I were able to get to know each other and talk about various things along the way…

Perhaps due to bad luck in the beginning, the carriage was able to reach Heirin in the East without additional raids.

‘Well then… Shall we go to the ordeal?’

To obtain a ‘hidden piece’ to cure Erral de Arlott’s illness.
