Chapter 62

Kasumi was on her way home from the guild "Heaven-Given Raw Stone" when she heard a chuckle.

"Hehe, hehehe... Big sister, you seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen?"

It was a night walk. The ghost sisters were holding hands, walking home.

"Yeah. I made some new friends."

The guards who had a conflict with the noble's son Bakamus a few days ago were fired.

With no place to go, Kasumi invited them to join Heaven-Given Raw Stone.

When she brought them to Act, he gave the okay.

"Thanks, miss... no, Boss!"

"Ah, Boss...?"

The guards insisted on forming a party with her.

"Hehe. Friends, friends... hehehe♪"

"Really, big sister finally made some friends, that's great. I'm so happy for you."

Kasumi had respected superiors and seniors, but she had never had anyone who looked up to her as a friend.

That's why she was so happy.

"Big sister, you seem so happy every day!"

"Is that so...?"

"Yeah! I wish this happiness could last forever."

Just then, a familiar face appeared from the front.

"Bakamus... sir"

"Bakamus...?"

A vein popped on Bakamus's forehead.

"It's Bakamus! You two are really fools, aren't you?"

"What do you mean...?"

She had been too elated to notice in time. She immediately recognized the thief.

...They were surrounded.

"Of course. You insolent ones who rejected the offer of a noble... it's time for revenge."

A few days ago, this man had asked Kasumi to become his personal adventurer, but she naturally refused. She even almost hit him when he insulted Act.

"Don't get too cocky, you're just a woman. I'm the eldest son of a noble family!"

"So what? I'm not getting cocky."

"That attitude is what gets on my nerves. You're just a woman...!"

...It seemed this foolish son was jealous of Kasumi.

He had always dreamed of being an adventurer and thought the dungeon would be easy to conquer.

But he failed, getting caught in a trap.

Then Kasumi came and elegantly cleared the dungeon.

He couldn't forgive her for that. Moreover, the fact that she was a woman hurt his pride even more.

"I need to teach you your place, you cocky woman."

He snapped his fingers, and thugs appeared around Kasumi.

"Big sister..."

"Stay back, Kanae."

Kasumi got ready.

"Take her down!"

The thugs surrounded Kasumi all at once.

She vanished in an instant.

"What!? Where did she go!?"

She quickly moved behind them and struck the back of a thug's neck.

"Hey, what are you doing! Take her down quickly!"

But Kasumi's skills, thanks to the training at Heaven-Given Raw Stone, had grown to a master level.

Thieves, by nature, often act alone, so she had learned combat techniques for when surrounded by multiple opponents.

"I can do this... this level is nothing...!"

Just then...

"Hey, woman! That's enough!"

"Uuuuuh! Big sister!"

The thugs had taken Kanae hostage.

"Damn...! That's cheating!"

"Be quiet. If you don't, your little sister's life is over."

Kasumi, with her precious little sister taken hostage, stopped resisting.

The thugs immediately grabbed her arms and restrained her.

"That's it... now, let's see..."

Bakamus approached, grinning.

"It's not too late. If you agree to become my personal slave, I might let you go unharmed."

"Who would ever serve someone like you!"

"Is that so...!"

Bakamus kicked Kasumi in the stomach.

"Ugh...!" "Big sister!"

Thud, thud! Bakamus continued to beat her.

"You, a woman, dare to act so arrogantly in front of me! What do you think you are! Bitch! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"Stop! Stop it...!"

Kanae's anguished cries echoed through the night street. It seemed they had cleared the area, as no one came to help.

After a while of beating her...

"Phew... I feel much better."

Bakamus said, satisfied. Kasumi, with a swollen face, lay on the ground.

"Learn your lesson. Never act cocky in front of me again."

"..."

"Hey, you guys. Take this woman away."

"Is that okay?"

"Yeah. She has a good body. I'll take good care of her."

Heh heh, Bakamus smiled creepily.

"Let us have a turn too, Bakamus!"

"Ch, whatever..."

Just then...

"I won't... forgive you..."

A current ran through Kanae's body.

"I won't forgive you... for hurting big sister..."

Crack, crack! Blue lightning shot out around her.

"Hey, this isn't good, is it...?"

The thugs, trembling in fear, heard Kanae shout.

"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
