Chapter 23

One out of place drunkard appeared among the curious onlookers .

Apparently, he was the type man who missed work and drunk sake from daylight to evening .

With unsteady steps he approached Furutera Isshi and co . , and with a booming voice began to shout at them .

“Ahh, what’s with these monsters! Your place is in the slave trader’s building . Ooh, are these yours, brother . Like showing off your social status . Good grief, so young and already this cocky . Let me borrow one please . ”

He reached for Premier’s shoulder while saying those words .

However, his hand was gripped by Isshi before it could reach Premier .

“Cut the crap . She is someone who can’t be touched by one with your social status . She is noble of our country”

To such words the drunkard started laughing, “AAAHHH!!!”

“A Homunculus aristocrats, huh? Oiii, you hear that . It seems he’s a moron . Truly, to place yourself in the town plaza . What do you think are doing, your bullshit is only causing misunderstandings . ”

The drunkard words were responded to by giggling voices and pitying glance from the onlookers .

As for the drunkard, he look at Premier for the second time with a lewd expression .

“Hah, release my hand . Or else I’ll beat you to death in this place, hah? That’s right, this time I’ll forgive you if you give me this jou-chan . Hey it’s alright, I’ll return her later when I got tired of her . Though it’s not granted to being live!”

Though he said that and put power in his arm, Isshi’s hand doesn’t move at all .

“Damn it, oi, release my hand, or I’m really gonna beat you to death!!”

When Isshi release his grip, the man tottering a step or two .

The place where his arm was gripped become bruised, probably because he just so stinking drunk, the man somehow can’t understand what had been done to him .

“E, heh heh, it’s good when you understand . Ohh, this silver-haired girl here has a nice face too eh . Her eyes looks cheeky but it’s arousing . Oh good, that blue-haired nee-chan is acceptable . On the other hand, I’ll have her . ”

This time as he was saying that he extend his hand out .

“Only Yakata-sama may touch me . For any others, only a life-ending scythe swing is returned . ”

“Huh?”

The moment the girl’s voice is heard, her presence seemed to shift from the man’s right and left .

Immediately his was vision plunged into total darkness, the reason being that his consciousness was broken and ceased to exist .

The man’s body was already bisected in a straight symmetrical line from the head toe, and with a thud the pieces fell to the ground motionless, just like garbage . \Silver: The day I care when idiots like this die, is the day they don’t deserve it . \

The large scythe that Arge took out, was covered in the man’s thick blood .

She shook it off with great strength as if it was something disgusting .

From the surrounding people, who saw what happened, screams of pandemonium rose!

“Mercenaries, call the vigilante corps!!!”

Screaming voices are heard here and there .

It was exactly at the moment .

That 200 mercenaries arrived with imposing speed and skill, their armament appearing to be in perfect condition .

Some of the towns folks just stand there, dumbfounded at their quick arrival .

But, it seemed that their top priority was to deal with the evil dolls before them, one way or another .

Usually though, they were the detestable partners of the tyrannical town mayor Deanne, but now here to deal with the murderous homunculi, they appeared to be the messengers of justice .

Therefore, all the towns folks welcome them sincerely this time .

The people who tried to run away before, were relieved to hear the arrival of the mercenaries, and returned, wanting to see the homunculi get miserably killed .

“Heh, you murderers, kill the homunculi!!”

From the towns folks mouths’ rose screams that would be suitable for a witch hunt .

The mercenaries group of about 200 people was lead by Guregin . Isshi and co, only consisted of six people .

Certainly, one drunkard was brought down by that homunculus girl, but there was no reason why 200 people would be defeated by a mere six people .

As the towns folks believed that the homunculi which were inferior in number, would be taken down immediately, they surrounded them and shouted with joy, as if they were watch a good performance .

During such a time, Isshi’s and Gregin’s line of sight met . Paying no heed to the towns folks shout of joy, Isshi opened his mouth yet said nothing .

Strangely though, his voice was clearly heard .

“Guregin, what kind of plan did you make, that has caused you to have such a foolish expression upon arriving here?”

Toward Isshi’s word of provocation Guregin’s veins popped out .

“That’s how it is, huh? Now what hateful words . Furutera Isshi, you’re the one who stirred up these monsters’ rebellion, such absurdity even this boss who’s done frivolous things understands . Surely they’re all homunculi with merely a little ability… see! There are 200 armed mercenaries that stands before you . Furthermore, no matter how strong the women around you are, a youth with no importance like you doesn’t have the ability to shine!! There is a limit to how much those guys can protect you . Just surrender obediently . If you do that, I’ll execute you with the least amount of suffering as possible . ”

Isshi responded with “Fumu” while raising his eyebrows .

“It appears that, manners are wasted on these savages . ”

“Huh?” only such sound was leaked by Guregin .
