盗賊襲撃
セレナの声で俺たちは馬車の窓から外を覗く。
すると、そこには数十人程の盗賊がいた。
行く道を馬車で塞ぎ、俺の馬車を逃がさないようにぐるりと囲んでいる。
どうやらここで待ち伏せをしていたらしい。
シミターを肩に担いだ男がそう警告をしてくる。
「見たところ4人か。おいおい、こりゃあまた綺麗どころが揃って......。エルフまでいるじゃねえか」
嘗め回すような視線にセレナが自分の身体を抱く。その表情は嫌悪感に包まれていた。
「しかも、こいつぁエセリアルキャリッジじゃねえか。売ればひと財産になるアーティファクトだ。まさかこんな獲物がかかるとはついてるぜ」
「お頭っ! 早く奪っちまいましょうよ!」
いつの間にか盗賊たちは距離を詰めてきていた。ここから馬車を動かすのは不可能だろう。
「まあまて。抵抗されて怪我をさせちまったら勿体ねえ。おいそこの男。お前は見逃してやるから身ぐるみを置いてこの場から失せなっ!」
自分たちの優位を信じて疑わないのだろう。下卑た笑みを浮かべる男。
「断るに決まってるだろ」
俺は溜息を吐くと、馬鹿にするような口調で答えた。
「ほう、この人数を前にその態度。余程の馬鹿なのか?」
盗賊のお頭はシミターを掲げると。
「もういいっ! 男は殺せ。女はアジトに連れ帰るから傷つけるんじゃねえぞ!」
その命令と共に盗賊たちが動き出す。俺はその動きを視線で追いかけると......。
「セレナ。左側を頼んだ」
遠距離攻撃の手段を持つセレナには敵との距離が離れている左側任せるとして、俺は正面の盗賊たちのリーダーの相手をすることに決めた。
「アリス。お前にも働いてもらっていいか?」
「勿論よ。逆にこのままじっとしていろと言われる方が無理だわ」
「じゃあ、アリスは右側を頼んだ。お前の実力なら問題ないと思うが、無理だけはするなよ?」
そうすると右側がお留守になるのだが、そちらはアリスに頼むことにする。
「ふふふ、エルト君に認められるのは悪くないわね。要望通り、指一本触れさせないから」
ついてくる以上は働いてもらうと言っていた通り頼らせてもらった。
アリスは馬車から飛び出すと、剣を抜き放ち盗賊たちへ斬りかかった。
杖を握りしめて不安そうな顔をするアリシア。
荒事に慣れていないのか、緊張しているようだ。
「アリシアはここで待機だ。俺が戻ってくるまでじっとしているんだぞ」
そう言うと馬車から飛び出した。
「ぐわっ! このエルフ! 精霊使いかよっ!」
「燃やしちゃってっ!!」
左側ではセレナが火の精霊に命じて火の玉を打ち出しては盗賊たちに攻撃している。
「なんだこの女の動きはっ! 目で追いきれねえぞっ!」
右側ではアリスが縦横無尽に駆け回り、盗賊たちを翻弄していた。
「ちっ! たかが女二人に情けねえ奴らだ。こいつをとっととぶっ殺して俺が片付けてやる」
お頭はシミターを振りかぶると俺に突進してきた。その巨大な身体をいかして力で制圧するつもりなのだろう。だが俺は剣を頭上に構えて受け止める体制をとった。
「馬鹿めっ! 剣で受け止めようとしてもその細腕でどうにかなるかっ! 脳天をぶちまけてやるっ!」
お頭がシミターを振り下ろしてくる。次の瞬間。腕に衝撃が伝わってくるのだが......。
――ギインッ――
「ば、馬鹿な......。俺の剣を受け止めただと?」
ハイデーモンやアークデーモンに比べたら全然力も威圧感も感じない。
俺は涼しい顔をすると......。
そう確認をとると剣を跳ね上げた。
「な、何者だおまえ?」
驚愕に目を見開くお頭。その恐怖が張り付いた顔を見ながら俺は質問に答える。
「ただの街人だよ」
次の瞬間、俺はお頭の死角に目にもとまらぬ速度で移動すると――
「はぁっ!?」
――お頭の意識を刈り取るのだった。
Chapter title: Bandit Attack
Serena's voice made us look out the carriage window.
There were dozens of bandits there.
They were blocking our path with their carriages, and surrounding my carriage in a circle to prevent it from escaping.
It seems that they were waiting for me here.
A man carrying a scimitar on his shoulder warned us.
Bandit A: [There are four of them, by the looks of it. There are a lot of beautiful girls here. There's even an elf here.] 
Serena embraces her body under the lustful gaze. Her face was filled with disgust.
Bandit Leader: [And this is an Ethereal Carriage, isn't it? It's an artifact that can be sold for a fortune. It's my lucky day when something like this comes along.] 
Bandit B: [Hey, boss! Let's take it away as quickly as possible!] 
Before I knew it, the bandits had closed the distance between us. It would be impossible to move the wagon from here.
Bandit Leader: [Wait a minute. It's a shame if he resisted and got hurt. Hey there, man. I'll let you off the hook and you can leave this place!] 
They must have no doubt about their superiority. The man smiles a lowly smile.
Elt:[Of course I'm going to say no.] 
I let out a sigh and replied in a mocking tone.
Bandit Leader: [That's your attitude in front of all these people. Are you really that stupid?] 
The bandit's leader raised his scimitar.
Bandit Leader: [Enough! Kill the man. I'll take the women back to my hideout, so don't hurt them!] 
With that order, the bandits began to move. I followed their movements with my eyes.......
Elt: [Serena. Take the left side.] 
I decided to leave Serena, who had the means to attack from a distance, the left side, where she was farther away from the enemy, and I would deal with the leader of the bandits in front.
Elt: [Alice. Can I ask you fight as well?] 
Alicia: [Of course. I'd rather not be asked to sit around like this.] 
Elt: [Well, Alice, you're on the right side. I'm sure you'll be fine, but just don't overdo it.] 
This would leave the right side unattended, but I'll ask Alice to take care of that.
Alice: [Fufufu, it's not bad to be recognized by Elt. As you requested, I will not let you touch a single finger.] 
I was able to rely on her as she had said she would help as long as she followed me.
Alice jumped out of the carriage, drew her sword and slashed at the bandits.
Alicia clutched her staff and looked worried.
She seemed to be nervous, as if she wasn't used to the rough stuff.
Elt: [Alicia, you stay here. Stay put until I come back.] 
With that, I jumped out of the carriage.
Bandit C: [Guh! You elf! You're a spirit wizard!] 
Bandit D: [Burn it down!] 
On the left side, Serena is ordering the fire spirits to shoot out fireballs and attack the bandits.
Bandit E: [What the hell is this woman doing!? I can't follow her with my eyes!] 
On the right side, Alice was running around in all directions, toying with the bandits.
Bandit Leader: [Tch! They're just a couple of girls and a pathetic boy. I'm going to kill them and get rid of them myself.] 
The head of the bandits took his scimitar, swung it over his head and rushed at me. He must be planning to use his huge body to subdue it with force. But I held my sword above my head, ready to catch it.
Bandit Leader: [You idiot! You can't catch my sword, because your thin arms can't handle it! I'll blow your brains out!] 
The leader swung the scimitar down. The next moment. I can feel the impact on my arm.......
-Guyin-
Bandit Leader: [I, impossible. You've caught my sword?] 
It's not as powerful or intimidating as the High Demon or the Arc Demon.
I put on a cool face and.......
After confirming this, he jumped up on his sword.
Bandit Leader: [What are you?] 
The leader opens his eyes in astonishment. I answer the question while looking at his face, which is covered with fear.
Elt:[I'm just civilian.] 
The next moment, I move with blinding speed to his blind spot----
Bandit Leader: [Wh!?] 
---- And he lost consciousness.
