Chapter 7: First Friend

……It’s heavy

As if my body had become stone

The headache was horrible, I felt nauseated enough to want to vomit

But, I coe

Therefore, this level of pain wouldn’t affect my control

What appeared before e fist sized fireball

Now I just have to set the target,

Then the target would burn non-stop

It could be considered the very essence of scorching hell fire

「The target is those guy’s 『hair』and『clothes』 Go――」

That moment, the fireball exploded

As if being dragged into the bowels of hell itself, it attacked the bandits

Those guys that were being bombarded, let out screams

「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hooooooooooooooooooot!」

「Da, damnit! It ain’t dissapearin’! What is this fire!!」

The fireball hit one bandit directly, then reflexively attacked a different bandit

It was an overwhel mass of flames, they covered the bandit’s clothes and hair

They tried to put it out by rolling around on the ground

There was a reason it wasn’t specifically set to target bandits

If the target was set to the bandits then they would burn until they died

I didn’t want to go that far

If their bodies caught fire then they would run around town causing a different problem

I didn’t particularly want to kill these guys either

If they just stopped their foolish behavior then that would be fine too

「……Bastart, I’ll never forgive you I’ll surely kill your entire family」

Fro stench that shrouded the place, the chief said and glared at me

But it was you guys who started it, declaration of revenge is a no no

I would rather just staht here

It’s iffy as to whether it will go well or not, let’s try and shake him up

「Is that so? I don’t want to be killed, Well then, shall I just kill you here now?」

「……Huh?」

「Well, you’re going to kill ht as well deliver the finishi+ng blow」

If you were to harm me or any of the others, then there would be no mercy

Having experienced the pain of not being able to protect anything, I’ve had h

At my words, the chief turned pale

Apparently they respond only to authority

Using a justified tone of voice

「No, that was just a joke! Hey, we’ll never do this ever again, please forgive us」

「After three strikes」

「The first is for the uncle of the inn

The second is for obstructing my escort

The third is for atte to kidnap Isabelle

――resign yourself」

With a dosu the first finger was raised

Then, the chief raised a loud voice with his hopeless face

「I’ll die with that!」

「Possibly People must reap with you sow as they say」

「Then, then let’s do this!

We’ll give you that girl over there, so please overlook this!

Elves are nice, they fetch a high price on the market!」

「First is the first portion This is for the ossan」

I raised a finger and put er tip

Then above that, I chanted fire ic at the chief

「Light balls clad in deh the enemy ――『Gun Fire』」

The fireball hit the chief directly in the forehead

He couldn’t hold it in and screamed

「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!」

「I don’t see any signs of reflection And this is the portion for obstructing my escort――」

I began the chant a second time

The chief’s eyes ith fear

「Light balls clad in deh the enemy ――『Gun Fire』」

A second time the fireball appeared

This time it hit directly in the chief’s abdomen

A dull sound retorts, it causes explosive dae to the body

Making an ugly face, he let out a soundless scream

Did he fall unconscious?

I adjusted the ic output just a little and looked down at the chief

「This is the end This is the thing that ry It’ll be really intense This is for Isabelle’s `――」

I raised er

Then a hand gently grasped it

Looking behind, Isabelle, who had recovered, was standing dizzily

She silently shook her head

「For only this, they are not worthy of punish to use my name then don’t do that」

「……I see Ok」

The last one was supposed to be just a threat

Oh well

I reaze from the chief and looked around the area

All the other bandits had been downed by the Astral fire

Apart from that――there was still a little anxiety left

The flames spread from the men in to the vicinity

It’ll be bad if I don’t extinguish it right?

「While the fire doesn’t spread out, need to put it out」

Was there a bucket around anywhere?

While looking around―― I felt a strong sense of vertigo

「H, huh?」

It was a terrible sense of fatigue

It was if I had just finished running a full length marathon

Like the time when I was made to run 400 meters at full speed

Unable to reround

「Dauts……」

I heard the voice of the private soldier squad in the distance

I could so to them

But I was too sleepy to move

I couldn’t even lift a single finger

My eyes closed and I fell into blissful unconsciousness

A small bird’s voice

Thesound of the river was pleasant to my ears

I opened my eyes, this is the inside the mountains

I had probably fainted froic

In addition to using the strong astral fire, I used other ic many other times

My small body just couldn’t handle the load

「Aa, you woke up? Regus-kun, was it?」

「……Isabella huh? Why am I here?」

「I abducted you and ran here」

「…………」

How strange, I must have misheard that

That’s right

Elves, who hate kidnappinglike that

「Sorry, what did you say?」

「You were nice enough to fall unconscious, so I kidnapped you」

She gave a concrete explination

I’m so happy, for the first time in my life

To experience being kidnapped

「I’ Don’t look at me like that」

「Why did you bring me here?」

「We were almost found by the private soldiers Even still I wondered if it would be alright to just bring you here」

「So that’s why you brought me this far into the mountains?」

Isabelle nods strongly

She had a short-circuit; couldn’t think things through clearly and this was the result

Although I understand not wanting to be caught by the minions of a noble

「Which reis-kun Why did you want to see me off?」

「……A- do you want to hear the reason?」

「Well, I basically knohy

You were probably going to try and ask about the Elf’s Canyon again,

You were looking to increase your chances by even a little」
