Chapter 22 - Soma familia

Following Lili, Miyuki carefully observed the people in the dark who followed Lili with sinister intentions.

Those people aren't far behind Lili.

After entering the night, the crowd was more lively than during the day. If Miyuki's eyesight had not been strengthened, it would be easy to lose track of others in this situation.

But soon, those people in front stopped.

In front of the goblin vault.

They hide in dark corners, waiting for their prey to appear.

Not long after, the little human girl, who was wearing a thin cloth and a hood so that her face could not be seen clearly, glanced around, lowered the brim of her hat, and ran towards a deeper alleyway.

Those people looked at each other and followed.

Miyuki, who witnessed everything, was quite helpless.

Since you want to avoid enemies, it is better to choose a place with a lot of people.

But thinking of the courage of the adventurers, it is also possible to take away the same family members in the street.

Miyuki glanced at the time calmly, Hestia should have just got off work, and there was still time.

Besides, he can't watch Lili being bullied again.

What's more, he still has a mission to complete.

Following the trajectory of the praying mantis and the cicada towards the alley, after turning seven times and eight times in the complicated alleyway, Miyuki finally saw the scene of the incident.

The down-and-out girl who was forced into a corner, and the adventurers with disgusting smiles.

Even a modern educated society has a lot of dregs, not to mention this backward world.

....

For Lili today was supposed to be a very good day.

Not only did she meet an adventurer who saved her from those despicable, but she was also treated in a quite kind and gentle manner by him.

She even met Loki familia, one of the strongest familias in Orario. Even she got in touch with their ace members.

What's more, she wasn't treated badly in terms of payment either. One-third of the money was given to her by that kind lord adventurer.

Although Lili thinks that the adventurer who saved her was quite naive in terms of dealing with people, she still has a good impression of him.

After all, no one hates kind people who save themselves and treat themselves gently.

Due to various reasons, Lili was really happy.

In order to not ruin her good mood and be bullied by those bastards from her family, Lili didn't follow the usual route and took another route.

She was quite cautious in her action. It's just she didn't expect to be unable to get rid of those guys.

....

In front of Lili, the tall adventurer showed a despicable smile, and the three of his companions blocked all escape routes and looked at the little human girl curled up in the corner.

He was wearing soft armor, had a sword hanging from his waist, and exuded a strong smell from his whole body.

"Za... Captain Zanis, what a coincidence... Why, why are you here?" Lili summoned up her courage and said to the man named Sonny: "I just came from the dungeon. Come back, the reward is only a little on my body, if there is more, I will have nothing...Even so, if the tour fee is still not enough, I will earn it tomorrow."

"Lily, what are you afraid of us doing? It is the responsibility of every member to pay the tour fee to maintain the operation of the family." Zanis looked at the frightened girl, laughed out loud, and then walked up to her and knelt down.

"Stop pretending here, Miss Lily."

"..."

Lili's pupils narrowed.

"The people who teamed up with you during the day are my subordinates. They were going to test your details, but they haven't waited until now. They must be surrounded by monsters in the dungeon." Zanis's tone was a little sad, but there was still a smile on his face.

"I suppose they gave their lives to save you, didn't they?"

"...Captain Zanis, since you know everything... then it will be easy." Lili pulled out an extremely ugly smile and said. She knew she couldn't escape.

"I don't care if those three bastards live or die," Zanis spoke with a sneer.

As the head of the Soma family, he already knew that Lili was the only mastermind of the small human criminal gang that stole property recently.

The reason why the prisoner has not been discovered until now is that Lili has a very rare "transformation magic".

You can freely change your appearance and race without changing your height.

This is the reason why Lili wasn't caught.

"So, Miss Lily, come back with me, and I will investigate the secrets about you." Zanis's goal is the girl's transformation magic.

Thankfully, Zanis still didn't know that Lili came into contact with the top adventurers of Loki familia. Otherwise, give him ten guts, he dare not bully Lili.

At this time, Miyuki, who was hiding behind the wall, frowned.

How did the story of Lili's withdrawal from the family start so early?

But it doesn't matter.

He still has to save Lili.

Condensing a sharp sword, Miyuki walked out from the shadow of hiding.

When the black-haired boy appeared, Zanis's and Lili's eyes were attracted to him.

Zanis frowned first when he saw someone coming. It would be troublesome if Lilibcalled for help here, but when Lili saw the familiar figure, her brown eyes burst into unbelievable colors.

"Is it Miyuki-sama? Please save me" Lili spoke with hopeful eyes. She knew that if Miyuki helped then she would be able to get rid of these adventurers. After all, the guys who bullied her were at most Lv2 while Miyuki's strength could rival first-level adventurer.

"It's good." Miyuki nodded towards Lili then he drew out the sword he condensed and stepped forward.

Under the moonlight, the pale blue sword was shining brightly.

"I'm the head of her family. This is our private matter, not yours." Zanis''s expression darkened, and he issued a warning.

But Miyuki didn't stop and just looked at them with cold eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I want to save her."

"Could it be that you don't understand human language? She is a member of my family, and I am the leader. She made a mistake, so I have to take her back!"

Seeing the visitor, Zanis drew his sword without saying a word, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

In Orario, there are not many people who claim to be righteous.

However, even so, no one will meddle in the private affairs of other families.

The various familias are like different countries. Members of different familias can communicate harmoniously and become friends, but once conflicts arise, it is very likely to ignite a war between the two familias.

Zanis didn't know who the boy was or what family he came from.

All I know is that just looking at that weapon is quite extraordinary.

It shows that it is a family with a strong background.

And the Soma family he belonged to, except for him, a Lv2 leader, were all weak at Lv1, and most of them were drunkards bound by divine wine, so they had no fighting power at all.

"I've already said that, I want to save this girl." Miyuki walked slowly and said in an indifferent tone.

The blade dragging on the ground rubbed sparks, which were extremely conscious under the night.

Zanis''s companion lacked confidence.

The young man was obviously confident in the face of the three of them, he was either a fool or a stubborn stubble.

"Is it okay to play war games?" Zanis threatened.

Zanis's threat made Miyuki stop for a moment but then he continued moving forward and said with an indifferent smile, "It doesn't matter."

When Miyuki was only a few meters away from both sides, he rushed to Zanis.

As the actual leader of Orario, the Adventurer's Guild has promulgated a large number of rules to limit crime.

Among them, private fights involving life between adventurers are strictly prohibited.

Once the perpetrator is discovered, depending on the severity of the circumstances, he will either be executed or expelled from Orario, who will never be received.

But it doesn't matter.

Miyuki had no intention of killing people.

Leaping forward, you can already see the terrified eyes of the two people. The icy blue sword that fell towards the head was just a faint attack, and the punch that hit the abdomen was the result.

Zanis's companion fell instantly, but Zanis himself narrowly escaped the blow of the sword.

Although the lazy donkey's rolling is not very beautiful, being able to react at that distance is enough to prove that there is a decisive difference between LV2 adventurers and LV1.

Every level of adventurer has a gap that cannot be bridged.

"Are you crazy? You actually did it." Zanis looked at the hair falling with the wind and glared wantonly.

Although he dodged the attack, only he knew that dodging the boy's attack was not as easy as it appeared on the surface.

Moreover, rather than saying that he reacted quickly just now, it is better to say that it was completely subconscious.

His heart was beating wildly and he was gasping for breath.

But instead, the boy in front of him was calm and collected. He didn't look like someone who used much strength.

Zanis's threat was completely ignored by Miyuki.

Although the war game somewhat made him hesitate, he was relieved after comparing the strength of the Soma familia with his own.

His current strength is already at the top of the pyramid of Orario. So, he doesn't think that group of drunkards from Soma familia can fight him.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Zanis's eyes flashed a cold look, and when he was about to draw his sword, he heard a metallic trick of the sword being sheathed before his consciousness darkened.

The head of the Soma family was hit in the back of the neck, fell to the ground, and passed out.

After easily resolving the battle, Miyuki looked at Lili, who was still terrified, and the girl hugged her body, shivering as if feeling cold.

"Everything is fine now. Come back with me tonight." Miyuki stepped forward and helped Lili up while speaking.

Miyuki naturally wouldn't chat with girls in a dark and damp alleyway. So, he walked out of the alleyway with Lili.

The boy walked in front, and the girl followed behind.

When passing by a clothing store, Miyuki bought several dresses of the same style in different colors according to his preferences.

The clothes used for Hestia can cover the goddess's exposed fullness and back, and the loose skirt is also long to the knees.

All the way without words.

The bright moonlight casts two people's shadows on the ground.

Lili followed and looked at Miyuki's back, carefully feeling the sense of security given by the other party.

Perhaps because she inadvertently thought of what she had seen and heard in Flower street, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was anxiously thinking about whether she should go to the hotel with him to sleep.

She has a good impression of the other party. If the other party wants her to repay like that, she doesn't mind.

Just when the girl's heart was up and down, they arrived at their destination.

"Huh? What is this place?" Lili looked at the quiet surroundings, it didn't look like there was a hotel.

Could it be that it is more exciting in the wild?

But the girl's fantasy is soon shattered.

After following the boy into the church, Lily saw a room lit up with lights.

A quiet, shabby but surprisingly neat little room.

Under the bright lights, hugging the pillow, the loli goddess sat like a wife waiting for her husband to return, when she saw Miyuki appearing, she couldn't hold back her thoughts and worries and hugged him tightly.
