Make a loud noise.

"Ouch."

Make a loud noise.

"Oh! What the hell!"

I opened the sarcophagus and jumped out in a rage. I'm in the carriage. It is currently driving at full speed on a bumpy road. Why would they do so...

Bang!

Ah, of course.

I opened a small slit for the coach in front of me to see.

"Uncle? I guess the negotiations didn't work out, right?

"Ah, Ali. We can't seem to get rid of them. Can you think of anything?"

"Miss Draenei, it's not safe here, you should stay inside, let's deal with those thugs!"

"I'll see what I can do!"

I jumped up and reached a hatch in the ceiling of the compartment. I quickly opened the door and looked out.

Around us, a dense pine forest surrounds a path that is too small for our wheels. In the back, a dozen men on horseback followed us with sabers and pistols, wielding them fiercely. While I was watching, one of them tried to catch up with the carriage and was hit by a bullet.

I turned my head and was confronted by a robber who was crawling forward. When he saw me, his surprise turned into a vicious smile.

Could it be... Breakfast delivery? How considerate!

I please him with my vicious smile, and when he starts screaming, I grab him by the shoulders and drag him into the darkness below, face forward. I was about to bite when Loth screamed.

"Hurry up, girl, Asni won't last long!"

Well, nasty, they interrupted my moment. I punched him in the neck, knocked him unconscious, and then decided how to fix it. of prey. of prey. Weakling. Maggots. Waiting for your turn, blood bag. Climb, hatch. Over there. Chasing me! Let them know.

“ROOOAAAAAAAAR”

The horse panicked and fell. The man tried to control himself, but failed. The pursuers stopped.

Good.

Now, back to ......

"Wow...... What's that sound?!"

Ah, oh?

I grabbed something from the floor, opened the gap, and a pair of curious eyes saw it.

"Uncle, it worked!" Your phlogiston noiser scares them away!" I shouted as I waved what was essentially a fuel tank with a gauge and three connectors inside.

"Remarkable! The eye on the right replied. "What a godsend for this invention!"

"Yes, niece, I congratulate you...... Quick thinking. The pair of frowning eyes on the left replied.

I nodded happily and carefully shoved the robber's body under a tarp in case Bingel's eyes began to wander.

"Unfortunately, we are not safe yet. They will definitely continue to chase Asni, whose stamina has reached its limit. We've got to find a place to hide and keep them out. ”

"How about crossing the river, Rose?" There is a small cliff on the side. We'll be protected and have a condescending view of the passage. ”

"Good."

I put the stitches on. We don't have much time left! I quickly drank the bandits and barely enjoyed the experience. I opened the hatch and let the body fall on the road. Over there. Ariana, the queen of quick evidence processing.

A few minutes later, we crossed a small river, which, I noticed, wasn't big enough to stop the determined riders from going down the river. The carriage stopped some distance away, and the men took up their weapons and prepared to leave.

"I'm going to stay here and give Asni water. Uncle, please be careful! And you, Mr. Bingle. ”

"Ha, I say, those who are inferior will regret the day they meet Cecil Rutherford Bingle! Because it will be their last moment. "The man plays the trumpet.

"Mr. Bingle, I don't care about those people's lives, I just hope that you can both return to me safely."

"Of course, Madam Delaney," replied with a trembling voice, "we will return safely." I promise you!"

I watched them disappear into the darkness. It was darkness for them, and I could see it clearly in the moonlight.

I took out a huge bucket and began to roll liter by liter to poor overheated Asni. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of the rifle firing.

Loth only wore a safety jacket, but I knew he had night vision monocles. Those idiots are dead.

That said, there is an obvious way to bypass their blockade.

I close my eyes and focus. Yes, I heard the hoofs of horses on the opposite bank.

I followed them in a low-key manner. Two hundred yards downstream, three men on horseback emerged from the vegetation and began to cross the river cautiously.

I let them walk past me. One, two. Anytime.

The horse smelled me and neighed nervously.

"What's wrong with this......"

Using distraction, I jumped on top of the last rider, pierced his spine, and pulled him back.

"Some kind of beast?" Smith, you see...... Smith?"

I slapped the panicked horse's buttocks, and the frightened horse immediately galloped. The other two cursed, trying to control their mounts, and I knocked the second one down in the same way.

The last man grasped the hint and urged his horse to flee.

In vain.

My move. I grabbed him and took a deep bite. Once again, I had to hurry up and not have fun. Cursed, but there are some unexpected aspects to this trip, that is, the vampire travel rationing.

I dropped the third carcass, and after making sure the horses had left the crossing, I quickly ran back. There, the crisis was averted, and there was complete silence! Ariana, Queen of Efficacy.

I made sure Asni calmed down and waited quietly. The two soon returned unscathed. I stepped out from behind the carriage and went from superficial apprehension to superficial relief.

"Oh, thank God...... Ahem, thank goodness you're back!" Are you both safe?"

"Yes, Miss Delaney! Don't be afraid, we did give them the retribution they deserved!"

Loth silently pointed to my cheek. Oh.

I turned my face away and pretended to wipe away my tears while trying to clean up the bandits' blood.

"Oh, Miss Delaney......" said Bingle excitedly.

Loth gave me a bear hug and patted me on the back.

"Alright, alright, it's all over, we're safe."

And then quieter.

"How many?"

I ran away from the embrace and turned to face him, my eyes filled with tears.

"Waiting like this torments my nerves! I know it's short, but it feels like three hours!"

Reluctantly nodded.

"We gave them a lesson, a lesson that survivors won't soon forget. However, we should now hide and regain our strength. Let's go, niece. ”

We found a small recess in a wooded valley that was big enough for everything. While I was collecting firewood, people quickly dug a hole. They lit a fire indoors, and when the fire started burning, the light was blocked by the dirt. Loth even used some sort of grill to keep smoke and floating embers from rising into the night sky. I didn't mention that anyone with one eye and half a brain can track our footprints.

I offered to be on duty for the first time, and Bingle protested only twice, which is a testament to how tired he was.

Three hours later, Loth woke up and came with me to the pit.

"How did it turn out?"

They denied seeing Flora. Binger successfully searched for their leader's hideout, and I used the latest Scolag repeater to distract the other warriors. Reminds me of my first wife, Gulda, who distracted a group of people with the proper way to skin rabbits while I robbed their granary. At all costs. He stole a diary and another notebook, but was discovered. We fled before the situation deteriorated into an exchange of fire. ”

Loth was quiet. After six months of our friendship, I knew him quite well and I could tell he wasn't over yet.

"Bingle's kid is a little weird, a little magical."

"He's a mage?"

"What? No. No, it's not the same. All of our timing was too perfect, too dramatic. His infiltration should not have worked, but it did, and his exit should not have been discovered. It's like...... Somehow, the world revolves around him. To make things more exciting and keep him alive at the same time, events change. ”

"Are we in danger?"

"Good question. I don't think so. He doesn't deliberately endanger us, you know. It's just that... Consider his story. ”

"It doesn't make sense."

"Welcome to the world of wild magic, Ali."

“… I guess I shouldn't have complained when it comes to magical aid. Vampires aren't exactly at a disadvantage either. ”

"Huh. Speaking of vampires, how do you feel?"

"It's just past midnight. I could go on for a few more hours. Why?"

"I want you to trace our footprints. See if we're being tracked. The leader of the Warriors, Raven, he calls himself, he's a little off the rails. ”

"What do you mean......"

"yes, crazy as a March hare, with a few cards missing, with the fairies, crazy, crazy, fell off his damn cart. You know. ”

"I'm leaving. If I don't see him within an hour, I'll rush back. ”

"Be careful."

I fastened my knife, but left my rifle behind. I'm not going to shoot anyone if I could. We have to be careful.
