Raising Paladins

Episode 105. Scary Bait (1)

“Oh, what family are you from? Please stop by our shop as well.”

“miss! The cuisine at our inn is delicious!”

“Even in our store!”

The quiet village market is crowded.

It was all thanks to Meisa.

“this… … I appreciate the kind invitation, but I don’t know where to go because all the shops look good… … . Thank you for your deep kindness.”

Meisa lifted her cloak slightly and gave a polite greeting of an aristocrat.

Cleverly, under the slightly lifted cloak, a thick money bag was visible.

The surrounding merchants salivate at the money bag that suddenly appeared and disappeared! swallowed

“Lobster… … We have lobster dishes! miss! Only 20 kroons!”

“We’ll cook you lobster for 10 crons! Catch that too!”

“hey! The sun is setting, what are you catching? Stop lying!”

“You, stop lying! You’re trying to get 20 kroons of lobster for 5 kroons! bad guy!”

The merchants put forward their own organs and finally started fighting each other.

Tira was taken aback by her appearance.

Meisa pulled Tyra’s cape lightly and pulled it back.

“I think this is enough to draw attention. Let’s go to a place where there are few people.”

“Yes, sister.”

Two women leave the noisy village market and head towards a quiet alley.

Hanson, who was watching it from afar, said.

“… … He is very good at acting.”

“That’s right. He said he always wanted to play a role like this, so he’s ready.”

Meisa, who pretended to be a foolish aristocrat and at the same time attracted the attention of the people around her.

As she and Tira moved, they saw a group of men following them at a distance.

“Looks like you’ve been caught, Captain.”

“hmm.”

Aristocratic ladies appearing in a quiet village.

He was careless enough to openly show his money bag.

Moreover, there are no escorts.

It was sweet prey for those with bad hearts.

jerk, jerk.

The floor was soggy from the recent rain.

Meisa and Tira walk away avoiding puddles.

Then the moment I turn around the corner of a dark alley.

Several men appeared from the front.

All of them were dressed in sloppy clothes with grim faces.

Those were the eyes that didn’t look so wholesome at all.

“Heh… … Cuties have entered our territory.”

“sh*t… … .”

The men flicked their tongues at the two women.

Then Meisa patted Tira, and Tira started acting.

“Oh, how good! We are rich travelers! Just let me go and I’ll give you all the money!”

If someone who knows the inside story sees it, it’s an awkward performance that makes your limbs shrivel.

In addition, it was difficult to tell whether he was an aristocrat or a commoner in his way of speaking.

But the men surrounding the two women didn’t seem to care.

“money? good for money But I need to try some other fun. Ughhhhh.”

“It’s hard to see noble ladies like you in this rotten town.”

“Uhhhhh… … .”

A group of people following the two women block the entrance to the alley.

Tira and Meisa are locked up.

The gangsters came closer and closer, their tongues flicking with sinister eyes.

At that time, I removed the hood of the cloak Meisa was wearing.

“Ohhh… … .”

Sleek long blonde hair and dense features.

The eyes of the gangsters twinkled when a seemingly amazing beauty appeared.

“That’s amazing!”

“I can sell it after having fun!”

“I’m going to touch the big money! A windfall!”

The gangsters who make strange plans among themselves.

Then a creepy noise was heard.

Sreureung-.

The sound of a sharp, slender blade coming out of its nest.

A rapier was already in Meisa’s hand.

It was the same rapier that had pierced the heads and hearts of countless villains and monsters, fishmen.

Let’s pull out a weapon that doesn’t suit the handsome face.

The approaching gangsters tilted their heads.

“What is that?”

“Isn’t that a weapon? It looks like a knife?”

“no way… … What is the woman’s knife? And where do you use something so thin? You can only use it as a skewer when roasting a pig, right?”

In fact, a rapier is a weapon that nobles only use when fighting.

Unless it’s Meisa, who has a natural talent for handling weapons, it’s not used well in real life duels.

As they say, it is so thin and light that it breaks the moment it collides with a broadsword or longsword.

Of course, Meisa’s rapier pierced her neck before being broken by someone else’s sword.

“Hey, pretty.”

“… … ?”

“If you don’t want to get hurt, put that away. Because we have no intention of hurting you either. I just want you to have fun.”

Swoop.

They showed a hand ax at their waist.

A hand ax that is not well maintained and has rust and teeth are missing in places.

But that poor appearance made it look even more frightening.

Of course, it wasn’t even a toy for Meisa, who had experienced all kinds of battles following Carl’s footsteps.

“I will give you a chance.”

Meisa shouted in a sonorous voice.

Tira was already hiding behind her.

“A chance?”

“Recent kidnappings and slave auctions in this town. If anyone knows about it, tell them. Then I’ll let you go back on foot.”

There is silence for a moment in the back alley.

A big laugh immediately followed.

“Puhahahaha!”

Let the alley go away! Loud laughter burst out!

There was even a guy holding a boat and rolling around in the mud.

“Mi, crazy noble! hahahaha!”

“What about the b*tch? Can you walk back? hahahaha!”

“If you catch it and peel it off, you will know how scary we are?! Guys!”

The cry of a man who appears to be the boss.

He stretched out his hand forward.

“Get those cute things!”

“yes!”

The gangsters approached me with sinister eyes.

“Tira, stay over there for a second.”

“yes!”

When Tira enters a corner of the alley, Meisa stands with her back to it.

With a rapier, he drew a large circle 1m from his feet.

It was the many-on-one combat method he learned from Carl.

“catch!”

“I will do it first!”

“hahahaha!”

The guys with stupid smiles rush at me without even pulling out their hatchets.

The shoulders of the three guys who ran first.

Meisa’s rapier moved like lightning.

Push!

“Uh… … ?!”

Meisa’s swordsmanship is so fast you can’t even see it!

Blood gushed from the shoulders of the three beggars as they charged.

“aaagh!”

The victims grab their shoulders and fall apart.

Then the eyes of the people behind them changed.

“b*tch! I know how to handle a sword!”

“Everyone raise your ax!”

Every single thing!

There are still more than ten members of the gang left.

But there was no trace of fear on Meisa’s face.

Then the one-sided violence began.

The rapier quickly stabbed them through their thighs, shoulders, ears, and wrists.

It was aimed only at vital points that did not pose a threat to life.

Besides, while hatchets have a very short range, rapiers are the opposite.

Even the basic skills were not comparable, so the fight was over in an instant.

In less than five minutes, more than ten gangsters were lying on the floor.

Grasping each injured part and bleeding profusely.

After the fight was over, Tira stuck her head out from behind.

“Shouldn’t I be treated? Some people bleed a lot.”

“Can you heal just enough to not die? Just that much.”

“Sure!”

Tira hurried around and healed their wounds bit by bit.

You’ll still bleed and feel the pain, but just enough to keep you from bleeding too much.

Then Maya said.

“Everyone kneel.”

“… … !”

Meisa, who puts a needle on her and treats her, and now even instructs her in a humiliating posture!

The walrus’ eyes widened.

Still, they did not easily kneel, as if their pride remained.

“Kneel for three counts. If you don’t, I’ll give you one more hole in your body.”

“… … !”

A bloody story that doesn’t go well with a pretty face!

Some of the waifu quickly fall to their knees and slam their heads into the ground.

But he was still halfway glaring at Meisa with resentful eyes.

Then Maysa immediately ran over and started stabbing them in the shoulder blades with her rapier.

“Quaaagh!”

“Save people!”

“Aagh!”

Seeing this, Tira closed her eyes.

Hanson was watching the situation from afar.

He said to Carl with a slightly tired face.

“that… … Leader?”

“hmm?”

“Shouldn’t it dry? I guess I’m excited… … .”

“Leave it. Meisa must have been under a lot of stress lately.”

“Stress?”

“Tira and you can use divine power. Creta, who joined our group this time, also knows how to see and feel the divine power. But he must have been very angry because he couldn’t use the divine power alone. You’re probably working through that stress right now.”

“… … .”

Terrible screams erupted one after another from the alley where Meisa and them were.

The Cretan old man who came with him was looking at the distant mountains.

“My nephew has a hot spot, heh heh heh… … .”

after about 5 minutes.

The gang of beggars who had fallen in the alley were all on their knees and their heads in the mud.

Tira runs between them and treats them to the extent that they don’t die.

Meisa was leaning against the alley wall, wiping the blood from her rapier.

“I will ask again. Does anyone know about child abductions and slave auctions in this town?”

“I-I know!”

The beggar gang boss who said earlier that he would peel off Meisa’s skin.

he cried out.

Several needle holes were visible on his body as he resisted to the end.

“Take it all out.”

“yes! They are pirates anchored on the shores far from Der Drang! They said they came from the Pinas Islands in the Gray Zone!”

“pirate? So you’re going around the empire and taking children?”

“Exactly! Once they appear and kidnap them, they disappear aboard ships, making them very difficult to catch!”

“What were you offering them?”

“We… … .”

Sreureung-!

As he stuttered, Maysa raised her rapier.

Hearing the bloody sound, the guy quickly spoke.

“Boo, I made a list of children without parents and sold them to them! I got 10 kroons a piece!”

“Such rubbish!”

Meisa was about to pierce his throat at once.

It was the knife that appeared just in time to dry it.

“You don’t even have to put blood on your sword.”

“… … Yes, boss.”

Meisa took the rapier.

Like Carl said, you can solve the case and throw these guys to the villagers.

Losing one’s life in one blow from Meisa’s sharp rapier was too lenient a punishment for them.

“Tell me where the ships anchored on the shore. Then I won’t kill you.”

A woman who stabs and punches holes in her body if she doesn’t listen.

But a guy who looked more frightening than that woman appeared.

The gangsters shuddered.

Then he began to draw crude schematics on the mud floor.
