The desert town and smell of corruption

I went towards the commotion.

It is an outdoor stall where rows of stalls and chairs were aligned, and Licia is surrounded by three men.

However, Licia did not falter.

She argued with them head on.

I got in between them.

"What happened?"

"These people, they kicked away a weak woman!!"

Looking closely, a woman was crouching down.

She is hugging a 2-3 years old child.

"That doesn't sound peaceful."

"I didn't kicked her damn it.

That bitch got entangled with my foot, I just freed my feet."

"That is what it means to kick someone!!"

"Then, what the heck would you damn want me to fucking do?

If she wants to get her kid healed, get in line and pay donations.

If she can't fucking wait, pay more fucking donations.

I told that bitch ya know?

But, this woman she'd just say 『I do not have money now, but surely in the future......』 you know?"

"You were robbing off such a person who does not have that much leeway?!!

I used Healing Magic on her child, but I found out that the child was really in a serious condition you know?!!"

"If they fucking want priest's miracles, of course, they'd pay in cash."

"Escaping from that materialistic view, isn't that our Platinum Dune's significance and doctrine?! That crest placed on the chest of that armor. I will not let you say you do not know!"

"I've never heard of such damn doctrine."

"After all, doctrines are difficult ya know?"

The three men said it like that.

"In the first place, who the fuck are you?

If a bitch like you is around, there's no way that this Saint Leader¹wouldn't know."

The man stared at Licia's chest, thighs with a gaze that almost licked her around.

 

"T-Those are my words, w-who are you?!

I have never heard of a position called Saint?!!"

"It is the fighter association that Liber-sama made, to protect the people of this town. Bitch, you don't even know about that?"

(Hey, Kehma. Isn't Liber the name of the man Licia-chan wants to rely on?)

(If it isn't a different person with the same name, that's 100% correct)

(It means, it's a miss?)

(That possibility is very high)

"In the first place, is the woman that you kicked not a part of this town?!!

Kicking someone while saying you'd protect them, that is not logical at all!!"

"The only ones that can call themselves people of this town, are those who give donations to the Platinum Dune properly ya know?"

Pe!, the man spat out. The disgusting saliva went towards the woman!!

Butーー.

Licia reached out her hand and received the man's saliva with her own hand.

"ッ――"

Although for an instant, she showed a disgusted expressionーー.

Paaan!!

She released a slap!

"As a person, can you not distinguish between things that can or cannot be done?!!"

"You fucking bitch!!!"

The man's fist went towards Licia's face!!!

"Alright, that's enough."

I received the man's fist of anger with my palm.

"What......?!"

"Although I look like this, I'm the well-balanced Kehma-san. Although you look like goons and hooligans, I do not brand your dispositions as bastards as well."

"Guu! Uu,"

He probably wants to pull out his hand. The man gritted his teeth and desperately pulled.

However, he did not even budge with me as an opponent.

I said then.

"However, spitting on someone not resisting, aren't you fucking too much!!"

I lightly jumped and released a kick.

"Gohaaa!!!"

The man was blown away gaudily.

He crashes onto the edge the three-floored building's roof, turned and got onto the roof.

"Big brothaaa!!"

"Don't worry. I held back."

"Uu......, gggu......"

In fact, the man's body flinched after getting onto the roof.

If I was serious, the thing there wouldn't be a body but a head.

"Damn it!!"

The subordinate man took out a red tube.

"Fire!!"

A chunk of fire was released together with his shout.

It flew to the sky.

Buooso!, it exploded, creating red smoke in the air.

"Gyahahaha! Too bad, you bastard!

 

That one was a signal fire, and our handsome brothers would swarm here!!!"

"After bullying the weak, violence using your comrades' strength huh."

"That's what happens if you go against this town's Sainbuheua!!!"

The man was saying something, but he was blown away with a punch.

And while this and that happened, roughnecks had gathered.

There were about 18 of them.

"I'll just say this to be sure, but the reason I kicked your friends' asses, is because they kicked a woman, and spat out on her okay?"

"......so?"

"?"

"You dumb bastard, you're sayingーーyou inflicted violence to the Saints just because they kicked a lowly commoner?"

"You're hopeless."

I placed Licia behind me and whispered to her.

(You should run)

However, Licia shouted loudly.

"If you go to the roots, I am the cause! There is no way that I would run away!!"

Yareyare, huh.

I gave Rorona eye contacts.

(I'll leave Licia and the rest to you)

However, Rorona's face suddenly got fierily red.

"K-K-K-Kehma-dono, that's, too much, in a place like this......? That's......"

"What kind of message did you got?!!"

"Do you want me to say that?!!

Are you saying it's that kind of play?!!

But, however, if Kehma-dono insists......! If Kehma-dono wants to......!!"

Rorona moves her hand to her skirt with a flushed face.

"What the heck are you trying to do?!!"

"What Kehma-dono, signaled me to do!!"

There's a misunderstanding!!

It was at that time.

A voice came from the back.

"What commotion is this?"

" " " Boss! " " "

The Saints turned around.

1. Saint Leader is what the author used as how to read 聖闘士長. It literally translates to Holy Fighter/Gladiator/Champion Leader
