here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘His name was… Davis something, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I prepare myself to smash his head in with my mace at any moment and then carefully examine the man who is sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Davis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a hardcore religious fanatic who is covered in Leathlas Church symbols, from his necklace and bracelet to the buttons on his shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, he’s the leader of the explorer group that attacked us after falling for Elisa’s scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why the hell is this bastard here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more I look at his face, the more questions I have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is he resting here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why are they only three, excluding Elisa, who they sold off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why are they in such a pathetic state like us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I put aside my questions for now and check the

all set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exchange glances with Misha through the window and nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I raise my mace above my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack-!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swing it down with about half my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the religious fanatic collapses without even a whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wipe the blood and flesh that splattered on my clothes and exhale deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Whew, I’ve knocked out one of them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it’s time to knock out the next one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I enter the cabin stealthily, and I see two people fast asleep, lost in their dreams, as if exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then who should I go for first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I’m contemplating for a moment, one of them stirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, you’ll be the second one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I’m about to swing my mace down to knock him out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said we’re knocking them out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha approaches me hurriedly, grabs my arm, and whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilt my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I nod as I belatedly realize what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when playing fighting games, my specialty was low jumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m confident in controlling my strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, if he dies, it can’t be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the kind of world this is, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I swing the mace down…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who was resting on the rocking chair slumps over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wh, who—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the man on the bed sits up, as if he heard the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there’s no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he’s awake or asleep, my mace is impartial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t even bother sneaking up and just dash forward, plunging my half-powered mace into his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the goal was to knock him out, the skill name is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Bash seems appropriate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial subjugation is complete with a successful ‘Bash’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I look at Misha and say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing? Tie them up with rope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha looks at the three bloody messes and replies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we need to tie them up…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a saying, ‘better safe than sorry’, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no harm in being thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s my principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>________________________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, they’re actually alive…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three who received a mace to the head each have fortunately survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you not to worry—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they look like they’re going to die soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their breathing is ragged and getting shallower, as if they’re about to breathe their last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who got hit in the face is in the worst condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as they’re alive, there’s no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is literally a fantasy world, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected, there it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pick a random backpack and take out a potion bottle. And I sprinkle the potion on their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little, so they don’t become too lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle-.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reactions appear one after another with a slight delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aak!!! Aaaaak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heuk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their broken heads slowly heal, and the three of them flop around on the grass like fish out of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I take out the rocking chair, sit down, and wait for them to come to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You barbaric bastard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha insults me as she sees me, but what can I do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they were tricked by that bitch Elisa or whatever…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They once tried to kill us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the barbarian heart within Bjorn rarely feels sympathy for enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, you…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That barbarian from before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! We’re not enemies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, the three finally come to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s chaotic with all three of them talking at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mutter while wiping the blood-stained mace with a cloth, and the room falls silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three, tied up like dried fish, look at each other and reach an agreement with just their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen, it was all a misunderstanding. There was a misunderstanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader, the religious fanatic, is chosen as the representative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll explain everything, so please untie this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s important right now is not how wronged or difficult things were for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me what happened after we escaped, from start to finish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirmation of causality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the only reason I used ‘Bash’ instead of ‘Smash’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, that is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t try to play smart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, alright!
