Hostage
Three hours after starting.
Jill was loitering around the forest, to be a brand new bait.
“Good grief……why do I have to do something like this……”
Despite complaining, the diligent beautiful young girl performs the entirety of her duty perfectly.
Gah!
“Muguu……”
In the middle of all that, all of a sudden, her mouth is held down from behind.
“Jill, sorry. We’re going to have you be a hostage”
Reader, smiles at her with a proud expression. With this dirty role, the fat and ugly Magician, who’s slightly delighted that he managed to get close to the diligent beautiful young girl he secretly finds cute, was recognised as the『number 1 disgusting guy』by Jill.
As she’s resisting, going, ‘Muーh! Muーh!‘, Krist and Buzz popped out from the bushes. ‘Sorry……Jill. We really didn’t want to do something like this’, Krist, the very person who devised this plan, doesn’t forget to follow up nonchalantly. A popular Magician who’s different from the boorish man, he is.
“Liana, Asch! Get out here! We captured Jill”
Buzz shouts loudly. They already grasp their approximate position, but they keep their guard up so that magic doesn’t come flying from another direction.
In the middle of all that, voices are audible from the front.
“I’m telling you to quickly come!” “I-, I don’t wanna. Why do I have to put myself out there……” “Because Jill is in danger! She’s your friend, right?” “She-, she’s not my friend. I don’t make something that meaningless” “Just come already”
After such a series of exchanges, two people show up from the front.
“……”
Crackk……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
While staring at the scene of Liana pulling Asch’s hand and bringing him over, Krist, cracked his second pen of the day.
“Hey! You guys, isn’t that too cowardly no matter what?”
While making an angry expression, the long flax-coloured hair beautiful young girl glares at the three.
“Sorry, Liana. I really didn’t want to do something like this either. But, if we were to fight, as expected, I’d have to go all out on you. I thought it would be bad if, even by the off chance, I left a wound on you that won’t ever disappear”
Krist smiles refreshingly.
“Kuku……do you feel that you can win Liana?”
Asch, who, on the other hand, makes a grim smile like he’s mocking him.
“……there’s another reason we took her hostage. Asch＝Dahl. It’s to, have a 1 on 1 showdown with you. Won’t you fight with me fair and square, without using cowardly means like traps?”
Krist asks, in a provocative tone.
“Kuku……this is a war, you know? To think that an enemy is openly proposing a duel to me right in front of my face; your head is, a flower bed in full blossom1 huh”
“……”
Crackk……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
The third pen of the day was snapped brutally. In his pocket, there are three pens left.
“Asch……Jill has been taken hostage. Accept it”
The elder-sister beautiful young girl, pokes the ill-natured Magician’s head.
“I don’t wanna. In the first place, everybody is an enemy. Jill has no value whatsoever as a hostage”
“Geez! Why do you say such things!?”
“I-, I mean, it’s true, isn’t it!”
“Putting up a strong front again. Jill, he’s lying. He may be saying such things, but he’s actually horribly worried about you”
“Wh-, why are you babbling such incomprehensible nonsense”
“Just accept it! Hear me? Get it?”
“Ahー geez, I got it. Krist, I’ll accept the fair and square competition or whatever you speak of that reeks of naivety”
“……thanks”
Crackk……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
Despite giving his thanks with a smile, Krist is left with two pens.
“So, are we doing it here?”
“No, there are obstacles and whatnot here, right? Let’s do it in the western meadows”
“Huh……what? Your so-called fair and square, specifies even the location in detail huh? Bravo”
“……”
Crackk……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
One left.
“I got it. Just do as you like. By the way, you’ve been snapping pens since just now; it’s disgusting, so it’s better if you stop”
“……”
Crackk……Crack Crack Crack Crackkk……
Krist, who, along with the moment the final pen snapped, swears to kill Asch for sure.
