Is it wrong to punish some trash?

A group of more than a dozen burly looking men surrounded a single hooded young man who's carrying attractive looking swords; 2 in his back and one to his waist.

They're are your typical bandit mobs trying to pick a fight on someone they deemed weaker than them.

"Hey, kid we're quite generous today why not hand over those weapons of yours and will let you passed."

Said by a bald head man who seems to be the leader of the group.

'A typical line coming from a mob character.'

The hooded man thought in amuse.

The young man was about to reached for his sword in order to cut the mobs that tried to pick a fight with him when a seductive woman's voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Ara-ara. You guys seem to be having an early morning activity here."

All eyes turned their heads to where the voice came from only to see a woman wearing a kimono looking down at them.

The hooded man inquisitively look at the woman trying to remember if she is someone relevant but after a second of not being able to recognize her the hooded man deemed that she's probably not part of the main story or she has yet to appeared on the part he knew.

The woman sense the hooded man's curious gaze.

From this she immediately guessed the situation.

The hooded man is a traveler from afar who just entered Orario only to be ambushed by a group of thugs.

"Y-your. Kaguya the vice captain of Astraea Familia…"

The bald man who acted proudly earlier is screaming as he spoke.

The fear he is feeling based on his tone of voice is apparently way too obvious in everyone's ears.

The hooded man concluded that the woman standing atop the house is probably someone strong or someone who has a terrifying backing.

The name of the Familia rang quite well in his ears but nothing really came to his mind.

"Dammit. How unlucky. To think we'll encounter this bitch this early in the morning."

"Hmmn. What did you call me?"

The woman who they called Kaguya her name narrowed her eyes dangerously to the group and the hooded man included.

Everyone immediately felt a heavy pressure trying to push them down.

'She's mixed killing intent to the pressure she is releasing.'

Commented the hooded man as he found the situation interesting.

Seeing the hooded man not feeling any sort of discomfort from her killing intent just made Kaguya more curious about him.

She already knew the situation but still did this in order to test the capabilities of the mysterious hooded man.

From the high quality looking swords he is carrying she already suspected him to be someone quite strong as those weapons seem to be first class ones.

The thugs probably thought that the hooded man is a carrier of sort so they decided to block his path to steal the sword but never did they knew that they're literally blocking the path of the first class weapon's owner.

Tch

"We're leaving…"

The bald man ordered.

"Boss…"

The others hesitated.

"Do you morons want to be sent to jail."

The boss spat at the idiotic behavior of his subordinates.

Hai

"Where do you think you're going?" Kaguya asked the group.

"We haven't done anything yet. You don't have the right to capture us…"

"Oh ho, you're quite smart for a mere bandit. But that doesn't meant I can't give you a beating."

"You…"

The boss's eyes widen as a fist appeared before his face. Only a single meter more or his face might have been completely disfigured.

"H-He stopped a fist of a level 4 just like that. Who did we pick a fight against?"

The bald man and the other thugs thought in terror as they looked at the hooded man.

"Why are you stopping me mister?" Asked Kaguya as she looked at the soft hand that gently held her wrist.

'Is he one of those hypocrite wanna be heroes.' Kaguya mused.

She wasn't angry that she was stopped.

Her curiosity just rose considerably as she felt the undeniably strong grip of the hooded man.

"There's no need for a fine lady such as yourself to take action."

The hooded man's voice sounded very pleasant to hear it's like a melody to Kaguya's ears.

"Ara-ara. Is mister a knight or something?"

"Nah. I'm not a knight. You see… you're stealing my prey."

Denied Shiro which caught Kaguya off guard.

Shiro reached for his sword on his waist.

He slowly unsheathed it and sheathed it back.

His action confused Kaguya but when screams of pain echoed throughout the alley her attention shifted to the scums of society.

Each one of them lost two limbs.

One arm and one leg.

Yet for some unknown reason they aren't bleeding.

Kaguya looked at the hooded man she suspected to be the cause of all of this but the moment she did he was nowhere to be seen.

She didn't even hear a sound or anything else he just vanished like a ghost.

"That guy…" Kaguya mumbled.

"Hmmn. You're looking for me?"

A voice sounded beside her making her jolt as she jumped from her spot unsheathing her katana pointing it to where the voice came from.

But seeing no one present in the spot where the voice came from just made her confused.

"You rely too much on your basic senses which basically hinders your growth."

The same voice once again sounded but this time it came from her back.

Kaguya quickly swung her katana to her back with all force but to her dismay it was stopped by a mere finger.

The hooded person didn't even flinched in the slightest.

Kaguya widened her eyes.

She quickly steps back trying to distance herself from the mysterious man.

He's probably as strong as the deceased Zald but compared to Zald he is more fearsome.

His stealth ability is on a whole new different level and he seems younger, is he another legend that decided to return.

Unbeknownst to Kaguya Shiro is just playing around with her trying to measure her capabilities.

Shiro stealth is the ability of his [Midnight Coat]

Kaguya pointed her sword at Shiro.

"Who the hell are you?" Asked Kaguya.

"Me. I am…" Shiro was about to introduce himself to Kaguya when 3 different voices called out to Kaguya in unison.

"Kaguya…"

"A fine lady, elf and… a kid?" Shiro questioningly mumbled.

The girl with short pink hair glared at Shiro after hearing what he had called her.

"What did you just call me you bastard?" Lyra was about to pounce at Shiro but Alise stopped her.

[Notice. The individual master referred to as a kid is probably that of a [Pallum] race and based on the life signature the individual has she is probably around 16 years old.]

"My apologies I didn't meant you any offense I just happen to forgot about the existence of hobbit races." Shiro gave a bow admitting his mistake.

"Hmph. At least you know how to apologize." Lyra snorted yet she still accepted Shiro's apology.

"Oh, and who are you sir, knightly sir? I suppose you must be new in Orario? A traveler perhaps or an aspiring adventurer?" Asked Alise as she appeared just a meter from Shiro her enthusiastic demeanor and positive vibe is overflowing.

"Captain. Stop-stop. Give the guy some space. You're invading his personal space." The blonde elf on the back said shrugging the back of her head.

"Don't worry mysterious hooded man-san. I Alise Lovell the great maiden of pure beauty and justice is here to be of assistance."

"So, Kaguya what happened here?" Asked Alise as she eyed the more than a dozen or so men who lost two pairs of limbs each.

Kaguya gave Shiro a glare before it was replaced by a mischievous grin.

"This guy here did it."

"Oy-oy miss Kaguya your skipping the part where they tried to rob me for my belongings thinking that I'm some weak passer-by."

Shiro added.

While Kaguya is not lying in her statement that doesn't meant it was all there is.

Alise's eyed Shiro strangely her face is just a meter distance from Shiro's.

Shiro who was taken aback by Alise's demeanor and closeness slip butt first on the ground.

This caused his hood to slip revealing his face.

Shiro is a young boy with silver white hair and golden red eyes.

Shiro's inhuman beauty and cuteness is terrifying enough to make any other person who set their eyes upon him to be stunned.

"Y-you're a kid?" Asked Kaguya wide eyed unable to believe her eyes.

The other three were also taken aback at the sudden revelation.

"Um…" Shiro tried to reason but no right answer came to his mind even after his thoughts accelerated hundreds of thousands of times.

He's a kid and that's it.

He can't used his former lives memories as a deterrence because those memories are like dreams and he is a new person.

He is neither Kirito or Kirby anymore.

He is Shiro the son of Alfia and the new Spirit King.

Still his pride as a man did not allow him to admit he is a kid.

He glared at Kaguya saying. "I'm not a kid."

"Oh, are you a Pallum?" Asked Lyra eyeing Shiro strangely.

"I am not a Pallum… I'm a human." Said Shiro.

"Then you're a kid…" Retorted Kaguya.

"…" Shiro stayed silent grumbling.
