A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

However, due to the man's lack of skill, the frisbee was not retrieved and instead landed on the ground with a clatter.

"Shoot-"

The horse's hoof was cut, and the girl's horse cried out in pain.

Because of the pain, the horse became uncontrollable, and the girl in the cowboy outfit was thrown off.

"Hmph!" The girl maintained her balance in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground without falling.

"Hahahaha!! You can't escape now!" another lewd-looking man shouted.

"Shouting until you're hoarse won't do you any good!!!"

"How dare you cut off our boss's treasure! Get ready for your defiled sex life!!! Hahahaha!!"

Several men burst into unrestrained laughter, seemingly having already foreseen the girl's fate.

"I gave that guy my true love, and he wanted to sleep with me!!!" the girl roared.

The girl paid no attention to the men's conversation.

"How outrageous! Are there really that few good men in this world?!" The girl slapped her long, white legs hard, her face full of displeasure.

"He looks like a decent man, but his true colors are so filthy!" the girl spat.

"We're good men, good men in bed, hahaha!!!"

The girl looked at the group of lewd men with disdain.

"Think with your lower body." The girl wrinkled her little nose.

Listening to their conversation, Bray was speechless.

Despite being nearby, the group seemed so engrossed in their conversation that they completely ignored Bray.

However, it now appears that the girl is the victim.

Bray thought for a moment, then sat down on the ground, not rushing out to show off.

"Now that we've caught up with you, stop struggling."

"I just wanted to escape that painful place, but you guys chased me all the way here. It's so annoying." The girl crossed her arms and sighed.

"Soon that will be your happy place, ha..."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The girl appeared in front of the laughing man in an instant, and threw a powerful punch, sending him flying more than ten meters away.

A mark was left on the ground by the man's flying body.

Apart from Bray, no one else had reacted yet.

"squeak--"

The sound of steam being expelled came from the girl's right arm.

Only then did everyone notice the girl's arm.

The girl's right arm was covered in light iron armor!?

Steam billowed out from several pipes in the iron armor, looking very hot.

Then the girl pulled out a long whip from behind her waist, skillfully tied up the lewd man next to her, and then threw him out violently.

In the blink of an eye, the girl killed two people.

The remaining pursuers swallowed hard, sweating profusely as they looked at the girl.

"Huh? You're actually looking at me?" The girl squinted.

Do you want to become like that?

The girl pointed to the two people lying motionless and shrugged.

"Run!! Retreat!" One of them snapped out of his daze, called to his companions, picked up the two lying on the ground, and rode away on horseback.

The two remaining horses stood there blankly, completely unaware of what had happened. The men who had been relentlessly pursuing the girl scattered with a roar, riding away in a cloud of dust.

"Tsk, you run really fast." The girl raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully.

The girl is Naruko, from the Kingdom of Kumo in the east.

Although she was dressed in denim, Naruko was a true-blue Asian.

"Have good men in this world really become extinct?" Naruko plopped down on the ground without any regard for her image and roared to the sky.

Having witnessed the entire journey, Bray approached the horse that had been overlooked, casually took it, and planned to leave.

However, Bray's actions, which he thought were unnoticed by everyone, were all seen by Naruko.

"What are you doing?" Naruko tilted her head back and looked at Bray.

“…” Bray paused for a moment, silently organizing his thoughts.

“I plan to leave,” Bray concluded.

“Hey, but this horse isn’t mine,” Naruko said.

“It’s alright, it’s mine now.” Bray said with a straight face, his dead fish eyes filled with righteousness.

"..." Naruko remained silent, looking at Bray with a strange expression.

"But it's really strange that a place like this would appear." Naruko's focus was rather peculiar.

“On a hiking trip.” Bray was already mounted on his horse, ready to go.

Because Bray has reduced his strength, the greatsword is not too heavy now, and the horse can easily bear it.

However, Bray still didn't understand why other people couldn't lift the greatsword no matter what they tried.

"A trip? What a coincidence!" Naruko's eyes lit up.

"Where to go?"

"The capital." Bray felt that even after leading away a horse, he should still answer other people's questions.

Bray's decision to ride a horse was definitely not because he found hiking too tiring halfway through!

It's just that it took too long, and Bray wanted to save time.

Thinking this, Bray nodded to himself.

"Imperial Capital! Me too!" Naruko clapped her hands and said with delight.

Bray stared blankly at Naruko's excited face with dead fish eyes.

Now Bray feels like he's about to get involved with weirdos again.

"Sir, let me introduce myself! I am Naruko, from the East!"

"I am a ronin, a wanderer!"

"Of course, you can call me—"

"A great ronin who pursues love!!! Clang clang clang!"

Naruko knelt on one knee and extended her right hand toward Bray.

"..." Looking at Naruko's posture, Bray didn't know how to respond.

However, Naruko did not intend to get a response from Bray.

"Please come with me, sir!" Then Naruko began to recount her "tragic" story to herself.

The girl is currently on a journey to find her future lover.

Naruko is now working on this as well.

All those men before were bandits from a den of robbers.

However, according to Naruko, the leader of the bandits was a handsome man with a great presence.

He was the eighth man Naruko fell in love with at first sight.

When she met the person she liked, Naruko ignored his identity as a bandit and her own identity as a kidnapped person, and began to declare her love to the bandit leader.

The bandit leader readily agreed and then tricked Naruko into bed.

"No, we don't know each other yet," Naruko said shyly.

"It's alright, we have plenty of time to get to know each other," the bandit leader said.

"But..." Naruko hesitated.

"Come on—" The bandit leader decided to be a bit tougher.

Then Naruko couldn't accept that after she gave him her heart, all he wanted to do was have sex with her!

Naruko wants love! Love! Love!

Say the important thing three times!

It wasn't a slap! Absolutely not!

After gaining a sense of magnanimity, Naruko completely crushed the opponent's bottom lane.

Amidst the bandit leader's heart-wrenching screams, Naruko stole a horse and started running away.

Naruko is currently a C-rank adventurer.

However, it is clear that Naruto's skill level and rank are not on the same level.

The girl was strong enough; with one kick, the bandit leader's younger brother was injured—no, he was killed.

Next comes the scene of being chased by bandits.

"..." Bray didn't know where to begin his rant.

Judging from what Naruko said, it's completely a love-seeking adventure!?

What's with this eighth time falling in love at first sight?

Is it the target or the bandit leader?

What exactly happened in the first seven times?

Bray was about to blurt out all the complaints he had in his mind.

"I'm embarking on another journey to find a good man," Naruko said, annoyed.

“…” Bray’s lips twitched.

"And my next stop is the capital city, where handsome men abound!" Naruko said, drooling.

“Drool.” Bree pointed to the drool that had already soaked Naruko’s chest.

"Sorry, sorry." Naruko wiped away the drool, but her eyes still sparkled with hearts.

Looking at the girl like this, Bray really wanted to ride away on horseback.

"So! Let's go together!" Naruko believed in seizing the opportunity.

Since we've run into each other by chance, let's travel together!

"By the way, what was the purpose of your trip to the capital?"

"I'll visit my sister," Bray replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Oh ho! Sister!" Naruko revealed a strange expression, which sent chills down Bray's spine.

“I have a younger sister too, but to be honest, she’s not cute at all,” Naruko sighed.

“No, she’s very cute,” Bray said, denying Naruko’s statement.

"Oh!?" Naruko looked at Bray with great interest.

"Then please let me travel with you!"

"I also want to see how cute your little sister is!"

Of course, Naruko was talking nonsense; she just wanted to travel with Bray.

“…” Bray had a headache.

"Alright! Let's head to the capital together!"

"That paradise where handsome men are everywhere!" Naruko said, drooling again.
