Chapter 3
Third chapter of this story.
I don't own anything, just the OCs that may appear.
[P.O.V. Ritsuka]
Me and my Servants were running to the direction where the village is.
I just hope that we arrive in time.
"Shit, I hope we aren't too late." I said as I just kept running with. "Yamato, you and Setanta go ahead, I'll have Bell with me and we'll catch up to you soon."
"Yes, Master!"
"Understood!"
With that, both Sabers took off at high speed that no normal human, like me for example, could never hope to catch up.
"Bell, be ready if we encounter any trouble." I said to the Lancer.
"Alright, Master." Bell nodded in acceptance of my orders.
But then.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
Both me and Bell heard an loud scream which sounded as if a girl was in trouble.
We looked at each other and nodded before going to the direction of the scream.
[P.O.V. Oct Member]
Damn... This is bad. Not only the Hobbits were being punished for interacting with the new Drifter, the Drifter himself, with other three that I haven't saw with him went to the village.
I should inform the Great Master of this? Or should I try to interfere?
Whatever the case is, I don't think that the result is gonna change.
Because once again, a Drifter gets drawn into conflict.
[P.O.V. Ritsuka]
"Over there!" I said as I saw and pointed at how a child was being surrounded by armored men.
One of them raised his sword to cut off the head of the kid.
"Oh no, you don't!" I exclaimed as I made an pistol motion with my hand and fired an Gandr at his face.
Which hit right on that idiot's face, which made him scream in pain.
"Bell!" I called out to the Lancer Servant.
Even without me saying it, Bell charged in with his spear in hand, he impaled one of those soldiers in the stomach.
"D-Drifters!?" Oh, it seems like the traduction spell that it is installed in all my Mystic Codes is finally starting to work.
Drifters? I know what the term meant, but that guy made it sound as if was something more in specific.
"D-Die!" The remaining soldiers charged at Bell.
But it is all in vain. Because even if he's an low-ranked(self-proclaimed) Servant, Bell is still an Servant. Beings that outclass many living humans, even the such as the Magi or the Executioners from the Church wouldn't be able to put anything resambling a fight against a Servant.
It is obvious that low rank soldiers such as those, would not even pose a threat to one of the Three Great Heroes of Ancient Greece such as Bellerophon.
Which is why with one swing of his spear, he cutted the remaining soldiers in half.
The little kid watched with a mix of awe and horror at the how easily Bell defeated those soldiers.
I went to the kid and I saw that it was the very same one of the two kids that I encountered and throwed rocks at me yersteday.
"Are alright?" I asked if the kid was okay.
The kid, who was still shaken by what just happened, looked at me for a few minutes before turning away.
"Geez, look kid. I know that you're-"
"I-I'm not a little kid! I'm about to turn 15 this year!" Wait, what?
Fifteen...? But how come he...
Wait...
Ooooohh... I get it now... How could I've been this stupid...
Seriously... I've been thinking of them as kids but now that I think about it, their were pointy, but not pointy enough to be elves, and for the fact this is another world entirely.
"You're an Hobbit, right?" I asked in case I didn't get that wrong.
The no-kid nodded, now identified as a Hobbit. But she, since this Hobbit's voice sounded too girlish so I dare to assume that she's a girl, then she asked. "Huh? Do... you have Hobbits in your world?"
How come I didn't think of that? Now I feel like a moron for not thinking that races such as Hobbit could exist in this world.
"Well to be fair, Master. Hobbits were literally creations from the writter, Tolkien, so I don't blame you for not expecting them to actually exist." Bell whispers to me, trying to reassure me.
"A-Anyway... My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, where I am from we say our surnames first before our given names." I introduced myself as I also explained how my(Japan's) naming sense worked.
"Ritsuka-sama..." The hobbit said, repeating my name.
But why did she add 'sama' to my name?
"Ritsuka-sama, you have to help us!" The hobbit girl says in urgency.
"If you're talking about your village, then don't worry. I sent two of my warriors ahead." I said to the hobbit as I helped her getting up.
Which made her blush a bit about the how I was treating her.
"Geez, Master... Your skill is acting up again." Bell suddenly comments.
"For the last time, I don't have such skill!!" I yelled in denial of having that certain skill that he's talking about.
Well, let us see how both Yamato and Setanta are doing.
[3rd P.O.V. Minutes earlier before at the Hobbit's Village]
The Hobbit village, which was used as a plantation for Orte's use, was now being burned and some of the Hobbits were killed left and right.
"I don't understand... Why!?" Absalom, the father of both David and Masha, pleaded for an answer from Orte's soldiers who suddenly burned their houses and started killing his people.
"Absalom... I've been nothing but kind to you, considering that I remember the name of a filthy Hobbit like you, but this is something I cannot let slip." Said a bald man who's around his forties, he was wearing an ornated light armor and wielder a longsword.
This man was Faraam, an elite knight from Orte that was asigned to the lord of this land.
"B-But, Sir Faraam... What are you talking about?" Absalom asked in fear of what Faraam might be implying.
"Do not try to pretend, one of your worms just came to us saying that your sons had entered in contact with a Drifter." Faraam reveals the motive behind this killing of the Hobbits.
Absalo widdened his eyes in shock at hearing that one of them sold them out.
But David, who was kneeled on the ground, turned his furious gaze at an fat Hobbit and shouted. "Gorgh! You son of a bitch, you sold us out!!"
"I... I... They promised that only you would be punished... I-I didn't..." The fat Hobbit, known as Gogh, tries to excuse himself.
"I'm gonna rip your head off!!" David screams in rage as he tried to go at Gogh to kill him.
But Orte's soldiers pinned him down effortlessly with David exclaiming in pain. "Shit!!"
"David!" Absalom raises his voice in fear and worry for his son and turns to Faraam and says. "Please stop! We swear that it was an accidental encounter! Both my sons didn't mean to come across the Drifter!"
"Right in the forbidden area of the forest?" Faraam retorts, knowing that both siblins went to the area they weren't supposed to go. "While you may know your place, I suppose it won't be enough to kill you."
"Stop! Father, brother, help!!" Masha screams for help as one of Orte's soldier grabbed and dragged Masha by the hair and brough to Faraam.
"Masha!"
"You bastard, what are you planning to do with Masha!"
Screamed both father and son, but they were soon silenced by Faraam's sword being put close to Masha's torso.
"It has always bothered me, while I have no interest in the small and feeble bodies of female Hobbits, this one is too pretty to be a man." Faraam says with suspicion at seeing how pretty Masha grewed up.
Both father and son paled at the possibility of Masha's gender finally being discovered.
"W-What are you saying, sir Faraam! M-Masha is deffinitely a boy!" Absalom tries his best to lie to the knight.
But it went deaf as with one swing of his sword, Faraam's sword cut apart Masha's clothes.
Showing everyone that Masha was indeed not a boy, but a girl.
"Well, well, well... Not only I heard that you broke the laws imposed on you by entering in contact with a Drifter, but also I find that you've been lying to me in all those years." Faraam says with an amused tone at seeing the look of desperation of both Absalom and his son. "Kill the Hobbits, but do not kill those who are still young. I shall take this female Hobbit to the castle."
"Yes, sir!!"
Absalom crashed down... Masha, his precious daughter, the only reminder he had of the love of his life, was now discovered and was about to be taken.
"I won't allow you to take Masha!!" David voice rang out, as he tackled Faraam with all his might, which made the knight's grip on Masha to loosen up enough for her to break free. "Masha! Run to the forest and don't look behind!!"
"B-But...!!" Masha wanted to protest, she didn't want to leave both her father and brother.
"Masha!! RUN!!" Absalom screams at his daughter to run.
At her father's words, Masha ran while tears poured from her eyes. "WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH"
"Damn brat...!" Faraam seethed in anger at the stunt David pulled and kicked him in the gut. "How much I would love to gut you alive."
"*Cough violently while gasping for air* T-Then... What are you waiting for? Kill me!! I was the one with the idea of going to the forest!" David exclaimed in defiance at Faraam.
But Faraam merely smirked cruelly and says. "Why would I? It would be such a waste to kill an valuable young cattle such as yourselr. But Absalom in other hands..."
With one swift movement, Faraam decapitated Absalom's head clean off.
Absalom's head rolled in front of David, who stared in horror for a second before. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! DAAAAAAAD!!!" He wailed in sorrow as he grabbed and hugged his father's head.
"I wasn't actually planning on killing Absalom. He was such an obedient cattle after all." Faraam retorted as he cleanned the blood from his sword with a tissue. "But I outta show you, the consequences of your actions."
"My... actions...?" David thought as Faraam's words sinked into his mind. "He's right... it is my fault... I caused this... Because of me... Masha and dad are..."
Tears formed in David eyes, frustration, anger, guilt, and hopelessness were swirling in his mind. "Dammit... Dammit... DAMMIT!!!"
"W-Who the hell are-AARGH!!"
"S-Stop, UGH!!"
Both David and Faraam frozen in place at hearing the dying screams of Faraam's soldiers.
They turned to see.
"AAARGH!!" One of Orte's soldiers screamed in pain as a deep cut went through his torse, which made a lot of blood to spill out.
"GUAGH!!" Another one spit blood as an staff was throwed at his neck, breaking it in the process.
"W-What is with them?"
"How... How come a girl and a little boy can do anything like this!?"
It was questions filled with fear as they gazed at the countless corpses that were created by an strange pair.
An beautiful young girl with long black hair and sky blue eyes, dressed in a white and red garbs. She was wielding an longsword with a great mastery that outmatched any soldier.
A young human boy with spiky blue hair and piercing red eyes, he was dressed in a strange get up. He was armed with both an staff and a short sword, while he didn't have the same level of mastery and elegance as the girl, he still wielded both his weapons with savagery and swiftness.
"Drifters..." Faraam muttered at seeing that the strange duo must be a new pair of Drifters.
They were supposed to punish the Hobbits who violated the rule of not entering in contact with a Drifter.
"It seems like we didn't arrive in a good time..." The blue haired boy grimaced at seeing the dead corpses of the Hobbits.
"But we didn't arrive too late." The girl says as she pointed at the remaining Hobbits that were still alive.
"Drifters... why?" David muttered in confusion, why were those new Drifters in here?
"FATHER, BROTHER!!" David widdened his eyes and turned his gaze at where the call came from.
It was his little sister Masha, who was okay, and she was accompanied by the Drifter they saw yersteday and another one with a strange spear on his hands.
"Masha...!" David lets out a tone of both happiness and relief at seeing Masha, his little sister and the only family he had left, was okay.
"Hmph! So, the Drifters, huh." Faraam huffed with arrogance, not truly feeling threatened that just a couple of Drifters came to him and his troops.
[P.O.V. Ritsuka]
Geez... While I saw many kinds of horrors in the Singularities and the Lostbelts, it is still a cringy sight of seeing corpses of the innocent lying around.
The Hobbit girl, who introduced herself as Masha, what a coincidence, right? Asked us to help her and the rest of her village from those soldiers, whom she identified as Orte's soldiers.
Along the way, she said that the they were something akin to slaves to the Empire of Orte, and were forbidden of entering in contact with 'Drifters', individuals who came from a different world from theirs.
"Damn... All of this over an accidental encounter?" I couldn't help but to feel my rage being filled inside me as such unreasonable carnage was done over an stupid reason like that. "I guess that explains why Masha and her brother did what they did yersteday."
"Brother!" Masha cried out as she went to her brother, but she let out a sharp gasp as she saw that her brother was holding the head of an elderly Hobbit. "No..."
"Masha... I'm sorry..." Masha's brother gave an strained answer while tears were covering his face.
"DAAAAADYYYYY!!" Masha cries out as she also hugged the head of her father.
I turned away from that painful scene and turned my gaze at, who is definitely, the leader of those troops.
"Why did you do this? Those two encountere me by accident and didn't even talked to me, so what reason would you have to do this shit?" I demanded an answer from that shitty baldy.
"Drifter, an savage who doesn't understand a simple logic." The baldy sassed me before answering my question with one of his own. "Is there any need for a reason to teach cattle their place?"
.
..
...
....
Okay... that's it. This asshole will die, right here.
"Master, please let me deal with this abominable ape." Yamato asked me for permission to deal with the shitty baldy, as I also noted that she let out an murderous aura. Probably because the shitty baldy insulted me.
So I let out a smirk and said. "Do your worst, Yamato."
She gave me an tender smile before nodding with confidence and said. "As your orders, my lord." With that said, she took an stance and she was ready to take on the baldy.
This is our first battle in another world.
The third chapter, seriously... It was longer than it was meant to be.
By the way, I'll not try and say to not vote in my all my stories, but I at least expect some kind of attention, and the next thing I know? Zero, just zero.
But anyway.
AriesStar337, over and out.
