... live free!

"But Master Schaffner, when you're struggling with that little girl, I think my thrust from behind brought the fight to an early end?

"Eh! It just didn't have a proper weapon."

"But I was the one who assisted him with the machete. I'd like some room for discretion."

"Eh, okay, so just get the fuck out of my way!

"Yes, I did. Then we'll play with the woman and then we'll finish it."

That said, the man went into the back of the room. I know he's going to do something to Yure, and I need to go after him! I thought I was staring abominably at the man Shafner had been talking to earlier.

(Hmm?)

Seeing as how that went, he and Schaffner don't seem to get along very well, with a little surprise. Maybe they belong to another organization? And that's what I thought.

"Shit!

Schaffner kicked and destroyed something like a crate that was nearby while saying so.

"... I don't know what else to do, come with a distraction"

That being said, when I lifted up a piece of cobblestone and laid it aside, I went under it, retreating the box in the corner and doing something. Slowly approaching the place and peering inside, there was a staircase leading downstairs.

"That's suspicious..."

With that in mind, I figured I'd rescue Youre first before checking here. In the meantime, I gently opened the door and went inside to chase the man who had just gone in the back.

When I go inside, I walk down the path that a man supposedly went through. Actually, I know how that guy walks when he walks in the back of the room because he was using magic to check his position. For that reason, he was following the man while making sure there was no other sign of him.

Then after a while, the man moved less. Looks like he went into a room somewhere. I heard a girl scream as I approached the place with that in mind.

"!? (Could it be Youre!?

Realizing the possibility, I hurried to where the man was so as not to make as much noise as I could.

When I got to the front of the room, I heard Youre whimpering. I was just there when I slowly opened the door when a man poked a sword at Yua's back. But Yua was crying as she reached out to the man who was falling nearby without screaming and just leaking a slight creaking voice.
