Just One More Brat
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
As they were outnumbered, they were struggling against the bandits. Several had already fallen, and even those still standing bore serious injuries. At this rate, defeat was inevitable. They had no choice but to seek reinforcements from the boy who had suddenly intervened.
One of the bandits sneered as he looked at that boy, Leon.
“Hah, so what if one more brat showed up?” (Bandit)
“I’m not alone, though.” (Leon)
Leon said that and patted the twins on their heads.
“Alright, shall we?” (Leon)
“Yeah!” (Arc/Iris)
“I’m ready!” (Sura)
Two beastkin who could only be seen as toddlers, and a slime, the weakest of all monsters. Yet they exuded a carefree mood as if they were on a picnic.
“Are they mocking us or what?” (Bandit)
“Just kill them already.” (Bandit)
The bandits grew irritated at the sight. However, a man stopped them.
“You’re the ones underestimating them. Be careful. That brat’s no ordinary kid.” (Leader)
“B-Boss?” (Bandit)
“S-Sorry…!” (Bandit)
The man, who appeared to be the leader of the bandit group, wore a filthy cloak and pulled his hood deep over his face. The large knife he held was soaked in blood, making it clear that he had already cut down several people. With a presence far above the rest, Leon judged that he should take on that man himself.
“But before that… Area Heal.” (Leon)
He cast a high-level recovery spell that could heal all those within range at once. Of course, as a Saint, Leon could easily control it to exclude the bandits.
“A-Area recovery magic?” (Bandit)
“So, he’s a high-ranking healer…!?” (Bandit)
(Huh? I don’t think that’s anything so amazing, though.) (Leon)
Leon tilted his head at their astonishment.
In his previous life, at least one person capable of area healing magic would be assigned to a military unit or a reasonably experienced adventurer party.
“M-My wounds…?” (??)
“They’re healed…?” (??)
“No way… he was seriously wounded just a moment ago…” (??)
Even the healing power itself seemed far beyond their expectations, leaving them wide-eyed.
“Tch, what a pain…!” (Leader)
While the bandits were dumbfounded, their leader had already taken action. He leapt at Leon.
He must have been aiming for the moment of distraction right after casting the healing spell. Judging by how he had not underestimated Leon just because he was a child and had even scolded his subordinates, he seemed surprisingly shrewd for a bandit. However, Leon’s ability far surpassed his expectations.
“Oops.” (Leon)
“What!?” (Leader)
It was a powerful strike launched from a blind spot. Confident that it was impossible to dodge, the leader had been certain of his success. Leon, however, evaded it easily with just a slight twist of his torso. Without pause, Leon countered with a punch aimed at the enemy’s face. But the bandit leader twisted his neck just in time and dodged it.
“Huh, not a bad reaction.” (Leon)
“You little brat…!” (Leader)
Although shocked, the bandit leader did not let up on his attacks. He unleashed a flurry of slashes with his knife at Leon. Leon read all of them perfectly and dodged everyone.
“N-No way…!” (Bandit)
“He’s going toe-to-toe with the boss…?” (Bandit)
As the bandits stared wide-eyed at the fight, two small shadows had quietly approached them. It was the twin beastkin, Arc and Iris.
“Wha… these brats, when did they show up?” (Bandit)
“You’re in the way, get the hell out—” (Bandit)
“Ei.” (Arc/Iris)
“Bugyaa!?” (Bandits)
Two bandits were sent flying with screams.
“Huh? What just happened?” (Bandit)
“Boom.” (Sura)
“Bugea!?” (Bandit)
Another bandit flew through the air after being tackled by Sura.
“These brats and that slime are not normal!” (Bandit)
“Doesn’t matter, just kill them already!” (Bandit)
The bandits readied their weapons and charged at the two toddlers and the slime.
“Ei.” (Arc)
“Gugoa!?” (Bandit)
“Toh.” (Iris)
“Gyaaah!?” (Bandit)
“Nano.” (Sura)
“Begyoru!?” (Bandit)
But they could not even fight back. The number of injured kept increasing in an instant. Their leader was also struggling against Leon.
(What is with this kid?) (Leader)
None of his attacks were landing. Leon clearly had the upper hand and was calm. This was not an even match. He was completely losing.
(He is not doing anything.) (Leon)
Leon tilted his head inwardly. Not toward his opponent. He was reacting to the presence that had been hiding and watching them.
(They are not just observing. There is clear killing intent. That is why I have been baiting them to act.) (Leon)
Leon did not know exactly where they were, so he was deliberately exposing openings, waiting for them to strike so he could identify their location. However, perhaps out of caution, they still had not moved. There was no use waiting any longer. Leon decided to quickly finish off the bandit in front of him.
“Oops.” (Leon)
“Debua!?” (Leader)
A punch to the stomach. The bandit leader bent forward and fell face-first onto the ground. By that time, the contracted beasts had already wiped out the other bandits.
“I want to thank you for your cooperation.” (Man)
The man who had asked for Leon’s help earlier spoke with a hint of hesitation but offered his gratitude.
“Still, to be that strong at your age…” (Man)
Just then, someone stepped down from the carriage. It was a slender young man with the bearing of a noble.
“P-please wait. It is still dangerous outside.” (Guard)
“It should be fine now. More importantly, I want to thank the one who helped us.” (Young Man)
Stopping the worried attendants, the young man approached Leon.
“You really saved us. To handle this many bandits without any trouble, and at your age, that is impressive.” (Young Man)
“…!” (Leon)
Suddenly, Leon’s instincts warned him. The killing intent from the one hiding had suddenly intensified.
“Watch out!” (Leon)
“Eh?” (Young Man)
In the next instant, Leon blocked a deadly projectile aimed at the young man with one hand.
