He planned to take the girls to his residence first—the villa of the Adventurers' Guild Master.
"Mr. Baili, may we take a look around this city called Orario?"
Himejima Akeno, the calmest of them all, is the most curious.
Baili nodded
"After you put your things away, I'll show you around. We still have time tonight anyway."
"Ok."
Himejima Akeno showed even more anticipation.
After everyone arrived at the villa and put away all the things they had brought, the girls looked at Baili together, and then focused their attention on the gate.
Akeno, Neko, Yukino, and Miko are all filled with curiosity about the other world.
Even though it was already late at night, there was no intention of resting.
"Then go and have a look."
"Great."
The little cat from Tacheng was the first to run towards the gate, and Jianzi immediately followed.
Bai Li then caught up with the two ahead, along with Zhu Nai and Yukino.
The night in Orario was illuminated by the soft moonlight and the warm-toned magic stone lamps. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, but it was still quite lively.
Baili walked at the front, followed by four girls, each with their own unique characteristics.
Himejima Akeno walked gracefully, her long black hair dancing lightly in the wind;
Tacheng Cat, on the other hand, appeared quiet and focused, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, alert to any potential danger;
Yukino Yukinoshita remained as calm as ever, but like a cat, she kept a close eye on the changes in her surroundings.
Yotsuya Miko looked around curiously, as if everything in this world was so new to her.
"One hundred miles, one hundred miles."
"What's wrong, little kitten?"
Are there any places to buy food around here?
"There are quite a few. Let's go check out the streets over there."
Baili readily agreed and decided to lead the girls to take a shortcut.
However, an unusual situation suddenly occurred—
As they walked down a rather secluded alley, they heard hurried footsteps and panting.
Baili looked in the direction the sound came from and told the girls to stop.
Soon everyone could clearly see the figure that had appeared in front of them.
A girl wearing a tattered robe was running frantically, her face filled with fear.
Behind her, closely following were several men who looked extremely fierce.
The girl was panting heavily as she ran, and it looked like she was about to be caught.
The alleyway was poorly lit, but Baili recognized the girl who was on the run.
"Sanjono Haruhime..."
As Bai Li read out the name, Himejima Akeno had already gone to greet him.
"We can't just turn a blind eye, can we?"
After saying that, the kitten followed Zhu Nai.
Miko and Yukino, who were staying in the rear, did not make a move, leaving the main battle to the two who had gone ahead.
There are outsiders here!
"Damn it! How come there are people here!"
"Take care of them all at once!"
When the thieves saw someone blocking their way, the leader gave orders somewhat anxiously.
Facing the enemy rushing towards her, Himejima Akeno was the first to shout to the fleeing girl.
"Little sister, you can just run behind me."
"Well……?!"
The girl was already at her limit, so no matter who appeared in front of her, she decided to take a gamble.
Then Hyakuri saw Sanjou Haruhime bypass Akeno and Koneko, stop between him, Yukino, and Miko, and then begin to pant heavily due to exhaustion.
Almost simultaneously, on the frontal battlefield—
"It's very impolite of you to treat girls like that."
Himejima Akeno clashed with the enemy.
She controlled the lightning magic to a certain degree of power, piercing through the enemy's arm and abdomen.
Not to be outdone, the little cat from the tower city on one side was not to be outdone. Although she was small in stature, her strength was not to be underestimated. Her pink fist blasted the bodies of two enemies, along with their armor, flying away.
Baili then faced the leader directly and asked him bluntly.
Why are you pursuing this girl?
"Hmph, what's it to you? This girl is a treasure; she could make a fortune selling in the entertainment district! Besides, we've already signed a transaction contract with the Supreme God. Do you know the consequences of your interference?"
"Thieves who buy and sell slaves... They don't seem to know what's going on in Orario."
"It's so noisy! Get out of my way!"
Baili remained motionless as he watched the enemy charging towards him.
He didn't need to lift a finger; Yukino's Memory Cat had already used its ability at her command.
A tall warrior appeared in the void, swinging his weapon horizontally towards the bandit leader!
The weapon the man used to block was utterly useless; as it was smashed, he flew through the air in sudden, agonizing pain, his face contorted in agony.
All the thieves were dealt with in less than half a minute.
Bai Li, who intended to make them disappear later, turned to the girl who was kneeling on the ground, resting against the corner of the wall—Sanjou Haruhime.
Chunji breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that all her pursuers had been defeated, but she still looked very nervous.
Baili stepped forward and asked gently.
"Are you ok?"
Upon hearing Baili's voice, Chunji looked up, but when her gaze fell upon Baili, everything suddenly went black, and she fainted.
……
Baili remained silent for a moment.
"Huh? Is Senior Baili really that scary?!"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened.
"Baili Jun's face shouldn't be scary."
Yukino Yukinoshita immediately echoed.
It's probably unnecessary...
While mentally complaining, Baili recalled the setting of the fox-woman girl in front of him.
Haruhime faints whenever she sees a naked man (especially his collarbone)...
Therefore, Baili made a decision.
"Let's take her back first..."
"Ok."
Tajo Neko directly picked up Haruhime, who was much bigger than her, with her petite body.
Himejima Akeno looked at the thief lying scattered on the ground.
"Lord Baili, where are these people?" (Read thrilling novels on Feilu Novel Network!)
"I'll handle it."
On this night in Orario, an unknown band of thieves vanished from the world.
In the villa of the Adventurers' Guild Master in Baili, the kitten, who had returned there, placed Chunji on the sofa.
To avoid Chunji fainting again upon waking up and seeing a man's collarbone, Baili, who was wearing a summer short-sleeved shirt, changed into a jacket.
In any case, we must change this fox-girl's habits in the future.
With that thought in mind, Baili asked Zhu Nai to wake up Chun Ji.
After some effort, Zhu Nai woke up Chun Ji.
"Huh?! Ah?! Ee?!"
Haruhime Sanjou opened her eyes and, facing the stranger who had appeared in her field of vision, nervously backed away, bumping her body against the back of the sofa.
Seeing her like this, Himejima Akeno, the most approachable person in the group, stepped forward and offered her a glass of water.
"Don't be afraid, we're not those thieves chasing you, we won't hurt you."
"Um...thank you..."
Haruhime calmed down a little after hearing what Akeno said.
After all, she had just remembered the scene she saw before she fainted...
It was the people around me who helped me.
So after finishing her water, Chunji quickly jumped off the sofa and did a standard dogeza (a deep, prostration gesture).
"My name is Sanjou Haruhime. I am truly grateful for everyone's help and have no way to repay you."
After a brief self-introduction, Chunji looked up somewhat uneasily.
