[You see a group of people on horseback coming from a distance.]

[Their faces are very strange to you—they are not from the village.]

You realize they are Burgundians from the neighborhood.

[After you react, you want to take Jeanne away immediately. ]

【But it was too late.】

"stop!"

The Burgundian on horseback saw the two men running away and immediately shouted.

Was discovered.

Ian had to stop temporarily.

He turned around, protected Joan of Arc behind him, and looked at the Burgundians in front of him with an expressionless face.

"You two."

The Burgundian looked at the two children in front of him and shouted with a rather contemptuous tone:

"Where are they from?"

Joan of Arc had never encountered anything like this before and she was very scared.

The hand that was holding Ian's clothes was shaking all the time - at this moment she finally understood why her brother had always been reluctant to take her out fishing.

The Burgundians are terrible!

【You are only fifteen minutes older than Jeanne.】

【Whatever she fears, you will fear too. 】

[But you know that you must never show your inner fear. ]

[Because behind you is your sister Jeanne who you must protect. ]

There is a huge disparity in numbers, so we cannot provoke the other side.

Ian was so calm that he didn't look like an eight-year-old at all.

"We are from Domremy."

"My sister wanted to eat fish... so I took her out to catch some."

"It seems that we have disturbed everyone's interest. We will disappear now."

Naturally, Ian wanted to take Joan of Arc away again.

Huh.

An arrow flew over.

It passed by Ian and Jeanne and landed on the ground in front of them.

A blue ripple spread across the ground.

That was the sign of the magic working.

"You two stop right there."

The leading Burgundian man drew his bow and said so.

"If you run away again, I will shoot you."

"..."

no way

Ian had to turn around again, protect Joan of Arc, and face the Burgundians.

This attitude of obedience seemed to suit these people's taste.

They put away their bows and arrows, and then continued to ask contemptuously:

"Boy, you just said that you and your sister came from that Dongremi Village, right?"

"Yes."

"Then——" The big man in the lead showed a greedy expression.

"So where is it approximately?"

"..."

[You realize that the Burgundians in front of you are unaware of the existence of Domremy Village.]

[You also know that you absolutely cannot bring these hungry wolves back - that would be a disaster.]

You decide to lie.

[But you forgot that Joan of Arc was standing behind you. ]

"there."

Ian pointed in a direction.

That is the completely opposite road to the village.

If I really took that road, I would probably never reach Dongremi Village in my lifetime.

"Eh?!"

Joan of Arc showed a surprised expression - she knew that was not the way back to the village.

But she soon realized that her brother did it on purpose, so she immediately covered her mouth.

But it was too late.

These Burgundians in front of them were obviously in a hurry to find the village, and naturally would not miss any useful information.

They saw Joan of Arc's reaction.

The big men jumped off their horses and walked towards the two children.

"Where on earth is it!"

They yelled at the two kids.

"Tell me now!"

Joan of Arc was frightened.

She shrank back behind Ian, unable to utter a word.

The boy still insisted on what he said just now.

"there."

"Just go along that way."

【The Burgundians no longer believe you.】

[After all, compared to Jeanne, you are about the same age as her but too calm, just like Pinocchio, you are not trustworthy. ]

[They pushed you away from Jeanne and questioned the little girl.]

"Where on earth is it?!"

The leading Burgundian roared, seemingly having no intention of hiding his true nature.

Even though the person in front of him was just an eight-year-old girl.

Joan of Arc, who was usually cared for by her brother, had never encountered such a thing.

She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, frantically grabbing everything around her with her hands and shaking her head.

"I have no idea!"

"I really do not know!"

But the Burgundians will not let go of the target they have already identified as problematic.

"You little brat, you won't say it, right?"

"It seems that if I don't punch you a few times, you won't know what honesty is."

The leading man raised his fist.

But when he was about to beat Joan of Arc, he suddenly heard a muffled sound at the back of his head.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and saw a large area of ​​bright red.

is blood--

Just as the big man realized that he was hit by a stone, he heard a roar.

"Get away from my sister!"

The person who said this was none other than Ian who had just been pushed away.

At this moment, he has already climbed up from the ground.

Needless to say, this was now his attack.

The big man was angry.

He's just a kid, how dare he challenge me?

"You are looking for death, aren't you?"

He waved his fists, intending to beat this ignorant kid to death.

But the next moment, the big man found that he would never be able to do such a thing.

because--

His hands were burned off by the flames.

[The innate endless rage has been activated: you spew out extremely terrifying flames. 】

[You burned the big man's raised hand clean.]

【He screamed.】

[You reversed the situation in an instant.]

[The big men who had previously bullied you and Jeanne began to flee in all directions.]

[Someone shot a magic arrow at you.]

[But it's all in vain - your flames seem to be far more powerful than theirs.]

【Burning, exhausted. 】

[Your flames will burn all the Burgundians present to ashes.]

[You solved them in an extremely simple and crude way. ]

call--

call--

Ian gasped for breath.

To be honest, he had no idea why he was spewing out such terrible flames.

All I was thinking just now was "I must not let anyone else hurt Jeanne", but when I came to my senses, I saw the current scene.

Although in terms of the result, it is indeed a pretty perfect way of handling it.

but--

This will scare Joan of Arc, right?

Ian looked at his sister worriedly and found that she was also looking at him.

"..."

"..."

Wow.

Joan of Arc burst into tears.

Ian's heart broke when he heard the sound.
