The black cloaked man

After the girl got used to the pressure, she wanted to wake Kuroko up but it looks like he was still recovering so she instead held him but in a princess carry and searched for the exit.

'Kuroko is heavier than he looks.' She thought.

When they think they see a door that resembles an exit, a man blocks their exit.

He wore a red button up shirt and a black cloak that is attached under his yellow shoulder pads with tassels. They also donned a black and white jester's mask and black trousers. With his shoes, they looked uncannily similar to Kuroko's Boots of wind.

Suddenly, he dashed towards them at incredible speed, overtaking the speed at which Kuroko had when he used the boots. The black cloaked man stretched out his both of his arms and held a lasso in each.

Once he reached a metre from them, he instantly launched the end of the lasso and skillfully trapped both the girl and Kuroko. Just as he woke up, he attempted to struggle, yet to no avail.

'Damn. Who is this person and why is this girl carrying me in a princess carry? I need to escape sometime.'

The man effortlessly sauntered over and lifted them both of them like paper. "I need to take you two to the centre stage and introduce you to all of the 5,000 members of the demon lord's army!"

'I probably need to defeat this guy in order to save the village. I also want to save this girl.'

The man then started walking toward the red curtain as he said, "My name's Nichirin. Nice to meet you two."

'Like hell it's nice to meet you.' The thief girl thought to herself.

When he got there, he threw the girl onto his shoulder and then opened the curtain with his gloved hands.

Hundreds or even thousands stopped what they were doing and looked towards Nichirin and his 'prisoners'.

"I applaud you for taking the time in order to come to this village and take over it with me and the demon general as of my request. And these people that I have in my hands are Kuroko, the son of the elder. And Yui, the person who tried to pickpocket me."

'Yui, huh. That's a nice name. Anyway I need to get out of here!'

He then made a signal to Yui and they both kicked him in the spine at the same time. Nichirin then collapsed.
