Dealing with these common people did not require much effort from Duanmu Huai; he easily chopped them into pieces. Only then did Duanmu Huai turn to Masou Shizuka to ask what had happened.
"So, what's the story?"
"Well... I suppose it was just bad luck."
In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Masou Shizuka heaved a sigh and began to recount.
In Seth's capital, she and Duanmu Huai had separated. Masou Shizuka and Kendou Kanami went sightseeing nearby, as Seth was in the Magic Kingdom, which held countless appeal to a mage like Masou Shizuka. Not only did they tour Seth's Royal City, but also nearby towns. However, when they had finished sightseeing and were planning to return to the Royal City, their carriage was attacked by a group of robbers. These despicable men even used a child as a hostage, preventing Masou Shizuka from fighting back.
Kendou Kanami valiantly decided to use her ninja invisibility technique to rescue the girl and break the stalemate.
