This is a Robbery
[Some days later]
While they were walking towards Sabasa Kingdom, Marco was cleaning his gun with Undine's water and then dry everything with Salamander's fire.
Marco currently had only 4 more bullets, he wanted to hold on at least 3 for emergency, because once he finishes his business at the Monster Lord's castle, he can't use spirits anymore until he removes the seal that Promestein will use on them.
However he, unlike Luka, still has the Nine Tailed Chakra Gate, if he didn't had something like that, he would be hidden the entire time in his own home. He didn't had a game system like Luka in Monster Girl Quest, the fights weren't scripted, so even the opponent can make strange attacks, and there weren't turns.
Basically, without the Nine Tailed System, he is just a normal human, unable to do anything.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a yell.
?: BANDITS!!!
Marco and Alice turned their heads towards the source of the voice, for a moment, Alice was in her own thoughts.
Alice: 'There's no way we would help… I know that Marco won't ca… re…'
Her thoughts slowed down when she noticed that Marco wasn't there anymore.
Alice: Don't tell me…
?: THIS IS A ROBBERY!! GET AWAY OR I'LL KILL YOU!!!
Alice slithered towards the yell, she heard a bang sounding in the air, which came from his "Gun", she will never understand how that thing works without magic…
Some time passed, and she finally reached the site, there was a carriage full of goods with horses standing in front of the carriage, at the other side, there were 4 bandits, two of them had a sword lodged on the back of their throat, one of them had his own arm planted on his chest, and the last one was headless.
However, no one of them had an injury caused from a bullet, then she turned towards the carriage again, and found a rich bearded man sitting on the carriage, however he had a bullet-sized hole in his forehead, beside him, there were 2 armored guards skewered together from a spear on a tree.
And for last, Marco's voice was heard from the carriage.
Marco: God-Fucking-Damn… This place is full of nice shit!
Alice raised an eyebrow and slithered behind the carriage, then she opened the tent and found Marco checking some chests full of useful items.
Alice: Wait, what happened?
Marco turned towards Alice and smirked.
Marco: We found good shit, that's happened!
Alice looked clueless, but soon everything became clear when he started explaining.
[Flashback]
Marco was using Chakra Gate and Sylph to reach as fast as possible the location of the source of the yell, then he appeared between 4 bandits and a carriage guarded by soldiers and a rich bearded man.
Man: *Gasp* Please, traveler, help us!
Bandit 1: Shut up! Now give me your carriage and leave, or I'll kill yo-
Marco reappeared in front of the Bandit, and in a blink, his head was gone, surprising everyone.
Bandit 2: He killed John!
Bandit 3: You bastard!!
Then two other bandits rushed at Marco with their swords, but he stood unmoving, before he stomped the ground and stone spikes appeared under their feet. They let fall their swords in pain and held their feet.
They started to curse Marco and the sky, when he walked towards them, grabbed their swords, and thrusted them at the back of their necks, killing them.
The last bandit pissed himself, and tried to run, the moment he gave his back at Marco, he lost his arm with a clean cut. He fell in the ground and rolled upwards, facing Marco who was coming near him with his arm on his hand.
Marco: Good night, big bro…
Then he lodged the bandit's arm on his chest, leaving him die there and turned towards the man and his guards.
The man clapped his hands joyously.
Man: Hahaha, thank you son, if you weren't passing here I would be killed from the bandits, do you want anything as a reward?
Marco took out his gun and pointed it at the man before yelling.
Marco: THIS IS A ROBBERY!! GET AWAY OR I'LL KILL YOU!!!
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Kill Alexander Flamingo if he doesn't get away from the carriage.*
Man: W-What?
The guards were surprised too, before they recovered and rushed at Marco, one of them was slapped away from a chakra arm coming from Marco's chest, and crashed into a tree, while the other's spear was thrusted on Marco.
But shockingly, the spear stopped at his chest, Marco picked the spear and lifted the soldier holding it, before throwing it at the other soldier that was getting up.
The one thrown crashed against the other, and both fell in the ground, one in front of the other, then they started to get up, with a pained expression.
But when the looked forward, they saw their spear piercing their chests like a shish kebab, and got lodged on the tree at their back.
After that, he unhesitantly shot at the rich man, killing him with a nice headshot.
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Kill Alexander Flamingo if he doesn't get away from the carriage.*
And for last, he got at the back of the carriage and checked the goods before Alice arrived here.
[Back]
Alice: ...I'm not even mad… At least we have a carriage that we can use to reach Sabasa Kingdom faster.
Marco shrugged and put his hands on a big chest before taking out countless gold coins.
Marco: Shit… This is at least the triple of what I currently have…
He checked on the other chests, finding jewelry, accessories, fruits, weapons, and barrels of wine.
Marco: Like Billy says after a roulette game… Jackpot!
Then Marco got out from the carriage and sat in the front of it, before starting to make the horses bring the carriage at Sabasa Kingdom, which seemed like the rich man's destination.
[Later]
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Turn back to Sabasa Kingdom.*
Marco and Alice were able to reach Sabasa Kingdom for evening, so they freed the horses and Marco used Gnome's powers to put the chests and other things, in a "Pocket Dimension" that Alice just revealed about… It was a bit stupid for Marco to not know about it since she took Angel Halo and her traveling book from it…
After they found an inn, Marco left Alice wandering around and enjoying the place's delicacies while he walked to the Mermaid's Pub.
The moment he opened wide the doors, he yelled with enthusiasm.
Marco: I'm back, guys!
Everyone turned around, some had a dumbfounded face, while veterans on drinking beer recognized him and cheered for his return.
Marco looked around, however he didn't found Joey.
Marco: Hey guys, where is Joey?
One of the men, with a sad face, stood up, and said.
Man 1: ...He got kidnapped from a Scorpion Girl…
Marco: ...What!?
Man 1: ...He is behind you.
Marco was shocked first, but when the man said the last sentence with an amusing smirk, he turned around and found Joey with a grinning face.
Joey: Hahaha! You fell for it. Kid! I missed you!
Then Joey hugged Marco and lifted him up, he was surprised from his actions and patted Joey's shoulders.
Marco: No homo! No homo!
Everyone: Hahahahahahaha!!
Everyone laughed at Marco's reaction, before one of them called Joey.
Man 2: Joey! Bring a barrel! The Crimson Fucker is back!
Joey: I'm coming!
Marco: That's what she said!
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
While everyone laughed at Marco's joke, Joey turned back with a barrel of beer and an embarrassed face..
