Don't move, it's a robbery!

After stabbing the tall, thin man in the chest with the rabbit knife, I opened my eyes triumphantly.

"How was my acting? Not bad, right?"

The tall, thin man didn't answer, but his astonished expression revealed his appreciation for my acting. I didn't stand on ceremony with him either, and using the corpse as a shield, I pulled out all the arrows from my body.

The effects of the medication are almost worn off; if this drags on any longer, I'm really in trouble.

Because of my performance, these soldiers have relaxed their guard. Although they are still standing together, their formation has been disrupted, and they have all put away their weapons. Now is the perfect time to ambush them.

"Bunny knife! Transform!"

Rabbit Knife obeyed my command and instantly transformed into rabbit form. I held out the three-star staff in front of it, and Rabbit obediently hugged the staff. As I requested, the blade of a dagger extended from its back, and it merged with the three-star staff again to become the Red Blade Blood Scythe.

Without any hesitation, I leaped out from under the tall, thin man's corpse and, to the astonishment of the Asari, swung my scythe at the fastest speed I could muster.

Death arrives, and all that is seen is a fleeting glimpse of crimson; the slaughter spreads, and all that is felt is the brief moment when darkness dissipates.

The blade sliced ​​through the neck, spraying out crimson blood; the sharp blade severed the body, freezing terror into eternity.

Under the dazzling moonlight, the soldiers fell one after another, their bodies limp and lifeless. Their eyes remained open, as if gazing at me, or perhaps at the bright, clear moon in the sky.

"Damn it!"

Because of the obstruction of more than ten soldiers in front, the short, stout knight at the back finally reacted and raised his shield before I could swing my scythe at him.

Unfortunately, the rabbit knife was far sharper than he had imagined. The moment the scythe collided with the shield, the scarlet blade tore through the iron-clad wooden planks. With just a gentle tug, I severed his wrist along with his arm armor.

"Aaaaaah! My hand!"

"Whoosh~"

The short, stout knight's head was severed, and he finally stopped screaming.

"Yeah, this thing is much better than a stick."

I looked at the sickle in my hand and felt that this thing was more powerful to use. Although I was a little awkward using it last time, it was much better this time.

The scene was a bit too bloody, with severed arms and legs everywhere.

After a quick check, I found that among the more than 10 soldiers who had fallen, 9 had been slashed in the throat by me. These were the soldiers who were standing at the front and had basically no time to react when I attacked.

Most of the remaining people managed to avoid vital organs, but judging from their current level of bleeding, they probably won't last much longer.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful. There's nothing I can do. If you were weaker, I might have held back a bit, but you're all so capable, even using hostages. I have to ensure the hostages' safety first, don't you think?"

"Oh, you can't speak anymore. Okay, go to sleep now. The pain will go away when you're asleep."

I put away the rabbit knife and used the short stick to help the soldiers who were still groaning into eternal sleep. Then I looked at Tina and found that she had also fainted.

"Tsk tsk tsk, heartless bastard, doesn't even know to thank me."

(￢_￢): "She must have fainted from the pain. I think she broke at least a dozen bones."

My assessment is similar to that of "West Copper." Tina's injuries are indeed very serious, and she might die at any moment. While she's still alive, I feel there are some things we need to do immediately.

"Oh! My good friend, you just said you had a 'gift' for me? Can you show me what it is? Don't worry, it's just for looking, I won't touch it!"

(╹д╹): "Why don't you treat her first!"

"How am I supposed to save someone? I can't just give her random medication again, can I? Eve's symptoms haven't gone away since she took the wrong medication last time!"

That's what I said, but I also knew the situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to take Tina to find Eve and the others.

.......

Everyone, including Leos, fell silent upon seeing Tina, whom I had brought back.

Since I was there to ask for help, I naturally knew the proper etiquette and directly revealed Tina's identity.

Of course, I didn't tell you how I met Tina. It's not that I wanted to hide anything, but the situation is a bit urgent right now, and I simply don't have time to go into details.

Eve and Leos looked at me with complicated expressions, but didn't say anything. March, on the other hand, had a very rich expression. At first, her eyes lit up and her breathing became heavy, as if she had seen a priceless treasure. But soon her face turned ashen, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and unease, as if she was wondering if it was worth it.

As for the little one, she first looked at Tina's deep cleavage, then touched her own flat chest, and then squatted down to the side, becoming withdrawn.

Seeing that no one spoke, Leos looked helpless. He rubbed his head and then made a decision.

"No matter what, let's save them first. We can deal with the rest later."

"Hey! Leos! Wait! You're not allowed to treat her!"

To my surprise, the first to express opposition was actually the little one.

Although I was surprised, I didn't stop them.

I really wanted to save Tina, but from the perspective of the Bell of the Pure Wind, they really had no reason to save her.

Treating Tina would mean offending the city-state of Asarich. Moreover, Tina has royal blood, and given the international relations of the Kingdom of Lars, which is hostile to the world, not only the city-state of Asarich, but any country that has a grudge against the Kingdom of Lars would not welcome someone who has helped Lars.

Personally, I don't care much about these things, but that doesn't mean others can accept it.

The little one's refusal must be for the sake of their team...

"Her breasts are so much bigger than mine! She's obviously not a good person! I don't want to save her!"

Well, okay, her perspective on things is a bit unusual.

"Little one, if women with bigger breasts than you are not good people, then there wouldn't be a single good woman in the world. Oh, and probably quite a few men too."

"Whoa! Leos! You heartless bastard! I saved you! And how dare you say that to me!"

I don't know what's wrong with the little one today; he suddenly got angry and lunged at Leos, baring his teeth and claws, preventing him from healing Tina. Watching him wrestle with Leos, I silently took out a melon and ate it while watching them fight.

"You're still in the mood to watch the show? You brought this guy here! Do you even want to save him or not?"

Hearing Eve's question, I quickly turned around, only to find her squatting on the ground, casting healing magic on Tina. I was somewhat surprised, because Eve had been the first to object to contacting Tina; not only me, but even March and Little One were stunned by her actions.

"Eve?! Weren't you against us contacting this guy? Why...?"

"Because we've already made contact. That bastard has wiped out two squads of soldiers, and those Asari have made us enemies. There's no point in running away now."

As Eve explained, she glared at me, seemingly venting her dissatisfaction.

"Now I finally understand why you went to deal with those soldiers from the Asari without saying a word last time, and why those Asari soldiers attacked us today."

"Uh, this might be a misunderstanding."

"In the end, it's all for this woman."

"Well, in a sense, that seems to be true, but I feel that what you just said is somewhat different from what I meant."

Eve didn't press further, but simply stared at me, seemingly waiting for my explanation. Seeing this, the little one stopped fighting with Leos and ran behind Eve, joining her in staring at me.

I'm a bit confused; I don't understand what those two are trying to do.

"Actually, I do have some other motives, and I have some contact with Tina, but she's not what I truly care about. It's...."

I suddenly stopped talking, and then abruptly turned around to look behind me.

Just now, I heard two light footsteps.

The others were taken aback at first, but then Little Dot and Leos also noticed the sound and quickly alerted their teammates, preparing for battle.

Under our watchful eyes, two figures slowly appeared; they were the two banshees who had been following Tina.

"These are female tree spirits. Be careful of their allure; their abilities only work by spraying pollen. If you see them speak, no matter what they say, hold your breath immediately!"

As soon as we met, Leos recognized the race of the two banshees. Seeing that the people from the Wind Chime were about to make a move, I quickly stopped them.

"Wait, these are our own people! Our own people!"

Seeing that I was blocking the others, the two banshees—now we should call them tree spirits—quickly hid behind me, then put on a pitiful expression.

"Brother, I'm scared~"

"Master, hug me~"

"......."*5

I almost forgot, the two of them can't speak human language, they just repeat some strange words.

Upon hearing what the two tree spirits said, March and Eve looked at me with complicated expressions, while Little One looked shocked and even disillusioned. Leos, on the other hand, gave me a thumbs up, his expression even showing some excitement.

"Wow, amazing, buddy! I've heard of people raising tree spirits before, but those were all monsters, I've never heard of humans doing that! How did you do it? Teach me!"

Now, March and Eve's gazes toward Leos have become complicated, and the little one once again shows a shocked expression, and feels disillusioned once more.
