Ramza and Abby finally crossed the river and are now at the other side.

After an akward breakfast they have not utter a single word to each other.

They are currently walking at a path that most carriage pass through.

Ramza is at the front while abby is following a few step behind.

The wind brushing off on the trees and the sound of the bird chirping are the only sound they hear.

The smell of leaves and grass envelopes their noses.

They are presented by green scenery, the clear blue sky and the sun shining above.

In this kind of atmosphere you're suppose to feel relaxed and at peace, but not this two.

Ramza's trying hard not to look at Abby because his eyes automatically goes to inappropriate places a gentleman should not stare.

While Abby is looking at the ground trying to forget the embarrassing thing she experienced.

She keeps thinking on how much Ramza saw. This keeps bothering her more and more after each and every step.

After a few more minutes of trekking Abby finally speaks up.

"Hey Ramza?"

Ramza didn't answer but he turn his head at the side and looks at her.

"H-how much did you saw back there?"

Ramza quickly face forward and his cheeks turn slighlty red.

His brain quicklys runs on overdrive. Should he tell the truth and get branded a pervert for oogling on a girl being molested or tell her a lie and get out of this situation. Lying it is.

But there is one problem , lying is not his strong points. When he is still a little kid he is known as the "Wooden tongue".

When he and his friend had done something wrong or has caused a problem for there village the grown up turns to him.

You can easily know his lying because he looks everywhere except the one person his talking to.

His hands shake and he sweats alot. So basically he os an honest person by default.

"Come on tell me!" Abby demanded.

"W-well i didn't see much"

"I dont believe you, and would you please stop walking and look at me"

Abby is now holding her hips and a slight grimace can be seen in her face..

Ramza stops, he is now sweating and his face is flushed.

"Come on, turn around."

Ramza turn arounds and face her but he is looking at the ground.

"How much did you see?"

"I definitely did not see any white panties and I did not see your pink nipples either."

Abby turns red and anger turns into embarrassment.

She grabs him by the shoulders and proceeds to shake him back and forth.

"You perv! Please forget about please forget about"

After a few seconds of shaking him and wishing he forgets it. She then lets go of him and tries to grab his staff.

"Give me this, I'll cast a forget spell on you"

"Theres no such thing" answered Ramza

Abby then screams and runs ahead of him leaving only a cloud of dust.

"Hey!"

Ramza sighs and lowers his shoulders. He felt slightly bad for what happened but its not like it was his fault.

It was that damned krakens fault.

Well it did give Ramza some alone time materials so his not gonna complain about it too much.

After thanking and cursing the kraken he proceeds to follow her.

The scenery made him think that it's been so long since he traveled. This reminded him at the time when he was still a teenager.

He was traveling towards the capital Riverglade to join the Kings army.

Memories flood back to him from that time he almost got killed by slimes to almost getting dragged by sirens.

Also how could he forget the one thing that kept him from loving another woman and the reason why he hates them so much.

Esmeralda the black haired necromancer.

As ramza was reminiscing and casually walking he heard a loud bang and screaming.

He immediately went to where the sound came from.

He then saw Abby fighting a few slime. She is gracefully dodging and shooting them with her weapon but it looks like none of her shots are working.

A slime jumps at her but he swiftly kicks it and it hits a tree real hard.

"Why isnt my rifle killing these guys". She said as she is reloading her weapon.

"Aim for the orbs inside them!" Ramza shouted.

"Orbs?"

Abby concentrates, she carefully inspects the bouncing glob of slime. It's transparent body glistens in the afternoon sun.

She found it, she see's a faint glowing orb inside the them, it's barely visible but she can see it.

She aims at it then she slowly squeezes the trigger. A light flashes on the tip of the weapon and a fast moving metal wizzes through hitting the slime's core.

The orb shatters and the slime turn into a puddle of plasma.

A second and a third one at the back of her creeps closer. She quickly turns around and searches their cores and fires a barrage of bullets.

The two slimes struggles for a few seconds then finally collapses into a puddle.

Ramza was in awe on how graceful Abby took care of those slimes his heart skipped a few beats.

The way her hair waves in the air, to how her eyes focus towards its target it was like art.

Abby walks towards Ramza with a grin on her face. "Thanks for the advice"

Ramza cheeks turns slighlty red. "You're welcome"

He felt reluctant to tell her but he decided that it was the right time.

"Listen, Abby" he said

"Yeah"

"Im sorry about what happened at the river this morning"

Abby cheeks turn red

"Its fine, I realized it was not your fault, BUT If you tell anyone about what happened"

"Well, let's just say I will cut something that dangles in your body"

Ramza felt terror and swallows a bit of his saliva.

"So, whats the plan?" she asked

"W-well, theres a village close from here and if we continue walking at our current pace we will get there at noon"

"Sounds good"

"I think we should parts ways when we get there, I still dont like the idea of taking an enemy and a girl from another world at that, to one of our cities"

As Ramza was explaining on how bad it is to take her with him and how he still don't trust her.

A mix of emotion fills Abby. She feels sad and a bit dissapointed on the idea of separating from him.

She is still just a girl who is lost in another world and abandoned her superiors because she felt disgusted on the way they fooled them.

Ramza is the only person she knows in this world, so she subconsciously cling to him.

She was so traumatize from the battle that she didn't think about what to do next after she runs away, she had no plan whatsoever.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ramza asked.

"Y-yeah im fine" she said as she wipes a sweat from her brows.

"Shall we go"

"Yeah lets go"

As they were about to depart Ramza hears a rustling on a nearby bush.

He and Abby immediately readied their weapons.

A few seconds later a white hare with a single huge horn in its forehead pops out.

"Whats that?" She asked

"Dinner" murmured Ramza

"Thats the cutest fucking thing i ever saw in my life" Abby said while covering her mouth.

Ramza then swiftly cast an icicle spike spell and he hurled it towards the hare stabbing it right in it's neck.

A tiny shriek echoed throughout the forest and suprised gasp that sounds like a car alarm escaped from Abbys mouth.

*

Two heavily armored goblins carrying iron sheilds and swords charges at Wick and his 5 men including Tanya.

They open fire at them, bullets ricochet, got stuck and hit them, but they continue charging.

One goblin knocks one of the soldiers falling hard on the ground.

Wick quickly hits the goblin who knocked out the soldier with the butt of his rifle of making it stagger and let go of his sheild.

The goblin then swing's it's sword on Wick but he jumps back and shoots it right between it's eyes.

The goblin falls down like a sack of potatoes and blood starts gushing out from its forehead.

One remaining goblin starts swinging his sword wildy at the soldiers but they immediately welcomed it with a staccato of bullets.

It falls down his iron armor riddled with holes.

Wick and his men starts reloading and set their sites on a small wooden door in front of them.

They strategically stack up on the door. Wick carefully listens and tries to get a clue on whats happening inside.

He then hears a faint moan on the other side.

Wick carefully pushes the wooden door. The first thing that hit him was the smell of Cum and sweat.

He is greeted by small room with straw beds lined up on the floor.

There are torches on the wall of the room illuminating it with orange hue.

Two of the beds are occupied with naked girls, there breathing slow and there eyes are vacant like a person who has given up all hopes of life.

On the corner of the room is the thin and lanky old goblin trying to rape the last hostaged soldier.

" If i die now, ill die in the hole of a woman"It said with a evil grin on his face.

The girl tries to kick and push the old goblin but he was too strong for her, even though his arms was thin the adrenaline and the thought of death looming made the goblin desperate.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Wick said as he enters the room

The goblin turns around his face change from happiness to fear.

The rest of the soldier comes in aiming at the solitary goblin.

It gritted his teeth and swiftly grabs his knife.

Wick laughs. "What are you gonna do with that, peel an apple?"

The goblin smiles and grabs the hostage and points the knife at her throat.

Tension fills the room that even the lifeless girls sits up and looks at the situation.

"Who are you people? This is the first time i saw your clothes and weapons" the old goblin said

One of the soldiers tries steps forward, but the old goblin inches his knife closer at her throat.

"Move closer and I'll paint this room red"

Wick raises his hand signalling them to stand back.

The old goblin stares and gives it's attention on wick and his crew.

Tanya then tries to signals one of the girls who was at the back of the goblin to scream.

Her vacant eye fails to understand what Tanya's trying to do.

After a few minutes of staring and threatening her, she finally nods.

The old goblin too late in realizing what Tanya was signalling for, immediately got startled by a high pitched scream.

As he turns around he hears a loud bang and he felt a searing pain at the side of his head.

Few seconds later he was at the floor choking on his own blood. Wick then lowers his gun.

"Alright let's get out of here" he said.
