Mysterious Man in Black Cloak

They had not had time to leave, suddenly one person from the group threw something towards their hiding place and there was a big explosion. Luckily Xavia and Vamery managed to dodge, otherwise, they would both have died.

The group of bandits came up to them and gave Xavia a sidelong glance.

"You're still alive huh? I thought you had died from the wound in your stomach at that time. Isn't it great that you can still live with such a bad wound?"

"I'm not as weak as you think. I won't die with just a wound like that time."

"It turns out we have misjudged you. If so, how about this?"

One of the bandits attacked Xavia with the moon stick he had taken from Xavia.

Xavia and Vamery immediately dodged the attack.

"Not bad for your reaction."

The man launched another attack at Xavia, but Xavia managed to dodge the attack.

Vamery drew closer to Xavia and whispered something.

"Miss, that is the moon stick they took from you. You have to take it back because it is yours."

"I know it. I'm currently thinking of a plan to defeat them."

"Then, is there anything I can do for you?"

Xavia was silent for a moment and thought of a way to retrieve the moon scepter.

"You can't beat me, sweet lady. I will kill you and your servant once again."

A man with a moon stick in his hand starts to make noise and threatens Xavia.

"It seems you are sure you can kill me a second time."

"Of course. You are just a useless weak girl."

Xavia clenched her fists in annoyance. Xavia then stepped forward and hit the man who had said that he was useless.

"You are also as weak as me. Even compared to me, you are far more useless. You're just a bastard thief who snatches other people's property. You are nothing but the scum of society that must be killed."

"Damn it! I'm really going to kill you right now!"

Then after that, there was a fierce fight between Xavia and ten people from the bandit group.

Vamery, who was standing not far away, was silent. She was at a loss as to what he should do. She's not good at martial arts. Even though he could shoot and ride a horse, she was terrible at martial arts.

Xavia, who was fighting the ten bandits, was getting tired. She was almost exhausted. Seeing that Xavia was already weakened, the bandits began to beat and kick Xavia brutally.

Vamery who saw Xavia being beaten and kicked like that started to get annoyed. She started to make up her mind to go up against the bandits. She won't let Xavia die, because protecting Xavia is her duty.

"I have to be able to face my fear. My job is to protect Miss Xavia. I must be able to!"

After saying that Vamery then stepped forward and started beating up the bandits that had beaten Xavia earlier.

"Damn it! You should have stayed behind instead of advancing and giving your life to us!"

"I will not do that cowardly act. Even if I have to die, I have to protect Miss Xavia from bastards like you."

"You have big guts too. But neither you nor your lady will be dead any minute now."

Vamery tried hard to fight against the group of bandits. Even though he was battered and beaten, she would never forget the task she was given to protect Xavia.

Meanwhile, Xavia, who saw Vamery struggling so hard to protect her, tried to get up and help Vamery fight the bandits.

Xavia and Vamery fought the bandits until they had no strength left to get up and fight back. Two people against ten people, of course, they would lose.

"I told you that I will kill you two. Now die!"

Just as the man was aiming the moon staff at Xavia and Vamery, suddenly there was an attack that hit the man's chest.

"Damn it! Who dares to interrupt my fun?!" The man cursed at the sudden attack

"You never seem to change, Son."

A man in a black robe appeared from behind.

"This is what you're doing again, Luc."

"Of course. I will always be there to stop you from committing crimes."

"It seems I really have to kill you or not you will always interfere with my goals."

"Please just try."

Then a battle between the mysterious black-robed man and one of the groups of bandits ensued.

Xavia watched the mysterious man in the black robe. The man fought well. Even that man was able to incapacitate an opponent he couldn't in an instant. What a power.

"Stop doing evil, Son. I don't want to kill you."

"That will never happen, Luc. Before you kill me, I will kill you first. Just wait!"

Then the man with the moon stick and the group of bandits left immediately.

After the bandits left, Xavia tried to get up and approached the man in the black robe.

"Thanks for helping us."

"Does not matter. Next time be careful when walking around in the woods like this."

Then the man immediately disappeared somewhere.

Vamery, who had just realized from her fainting, stared confusedly at Xavia who was just standing. She tried to get up and approached Xavia.

"Miss, what happened?"

Hearing Vamery's voice, Xavia immediately snapped out of her reverie.

"Are you awake, Vamery? How are you? Are you alright?"

"Yes. I'm fine, miss. I just feel a little dizzy."

"Thank goodness you're okay."

"But why did you daydream like that?"

Xavia turned her gaze to the front. There was one thing that had been bothering him ever since. The man in the black robe who had suddenly appeared earlier reminded her of someone. Someone she missed but could never hate. It had been a long time since she had seen that person. Normally, that person would always be by her side and protect her. But because they were in different dimensions, she couldn't meet that person anymore.

"Miss Xavia, what's wrong?"

Xavia looked back at Vamery and smiled, "it's okay. Let's go back."

Vamery smiled in response, she knew that Xavia was hiding something from her. But she didn't want to force Xavia to tell her this time.

"Okay. Let's go back."
