Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 222

 

Bandits



On the way home from school with my younger brother


It all happened so fast.


"Wait, you guys!"


Angry voices were heard from the side street


A few moments later, a dirty-looking guy jumped out of there.


"Oh, you were in a good place!"


"Eh?"


Saying so, the man wrapped his arms around my brother's neck and pulled him up.


"Agah!"


My brother makes a weird noise


"You! What are you doing! Let go!"


I hit the man


"Shut up!"


After he said those words, I felt a shock in my hand.


After a while, I realized that my arm had been broken by the man's iron bar.


"Aaahhh!"


"Tch... hey! Let's take these guys!"


"Ei!"


"Get out of here, you guys! If you don't want these two kids killed, back off!"




--------------




Unable to make a decent resistance, we were taken straight into a cave somewhere.


"Nii-chan… are you okay?"


"I-I'm fine..."


I don't want to worry my brother, so I lie.


The pain in my arm gets worse and worse.


The reddish-black discoloration was spreading.


"Even if it's just you... you have to escape."


"I don't want to. Nii-chan, let's run away."


"That's right, brothers gotta stick together, right?"


A man approached


"Oh, your arm is broken, isn't it hard?"


I'm so angry.


You're the one who broke it.


"It's not fair that you're the only one with a broken arm, is it?"


"Eh?"


He's got a rock in one hand.


And he approaches my brother.


"Hii!"


He swings his arm.


"S-stop!"


He broke my brother's knee as it was


"Aaaaahhh!"


"Hyahahaha! Ahh~, that's refreshing!"


"You... you! You bastard!"


My brother's leg is bent in an impossible direction.


“Ah~? You guys are."


"Don't joke around!"


I was kicked in the stomach


"Gah!"


"What? How's life in that town? We're struggling every day, and you guys are living without a care in the world? Isn't that unfair?"


He kicked me in the face.


My nose bled.


The taste of iron spread to my mouth, and I couldn't breathe through my nose.


"Just a little? We are forced to live like this just because we killed someone for a little bit. It doesn't make any sense, does it? Isn't that discrimination?"


"Hey, don't kill them yet, okay?"


Another man comes from behind


"Why?"


"If they came looking for them before nightfall, we'll use them as a shield again."


"...Yeah. Ah, if these guys were women, I would have killed time."


"I guess so. There was a very beautiful woman in town, so I should have brought her with us."


"Is there such a thing?"


"Yeah, a tall, skinny woman and a small, plump woman. They were with their children, but I had an erection just by looking at them, you know?"


"Seriously? After all, those who have given birth once are loose."


"That's just because you have a small thing."


"Shut up! I'm a technical person! Didn't I showed it the other day? A woman who died in front of her husband with my technique?"


"How can you say that's it's from your technique when you're putting red-hot steel in her?"


"Well, I'm sure she was just holding back. I'm sure it felt good. Of course it felt so good, she died."


I can hear the disgusting conversation that even I can understand


"Hey! Someone's coming!"


"Ah? Seriously!"


They leave us behind and head for the cave entrance.


Even from inside the cave, I can hear the conversation clearly.


"Oi oi. What's with this kid?"


"What? You here alone, little girl? No, a boy?"


"I heard you had a friend of mine here, so I came!"


"Ah?"


The conversation ended there.


After that, I hear a few dull thuds.



After a while, it gets quiet, and then I hear footsteps coming toward us.


It's someone not much taller than us.


I couldn't make out the figure because of the pain and the backlight.


When he put his hand over ours, all the pain in my body eased.


And so did my brother.


He put on a calm face and I drifted off to sleep.


"Help is on the way. You just wait here."


In my fading consciousness


I heard a voice I had heard before
