「Hey, look at this crest.
It seems this woman is a Holy Knight of the Holy Country.
And that big a*s spear can be sold at a high price.」

 

The leader of the pirates, masquerading as the vice-captain of the ship, let out a laugh upon hearing his subordinate’s remark.

 

「Hehehe, it was the right decision to make this woman drink the tea too after all.
The Holy Knights of Holy Country are well known for their training, after all.
She’ll be a heap of trouble if I let her go scot free.」

 

The said girl was fast asleep.

She didn’t show any sign of waking up, despite being surrounded by ruffian.

 

「Hehehe, and since she’s a holy knight, she’s definitely a virgin.
Let’s enjoy her instead of having a toast.」

「Hey, stop it.
Are you trying to drop her price?」

「Boss Sarite, what is the use in being stingy when we got a whole luxurious passenger ship?」

「Hehehe, you’re right.
Well, just be careful so that she doesn’t get pregnant.」

 

The leader named Sarite approached the female Holy Knight with a vulgar smile on his face.

 

「D-DON’T!」

 

The one who shouted was the ship captain who was rolling on the floor, tied with rope.

He instantly became the center of attention because of his threatening tone.

 

「Don’t you know that this girl is a guest of honor who boarded this ship by request of the  Romana’s royal family? Are you prepared to turn the Romana kingdom into your enemy?」

「Kuhahaha! What can a mere royal family do to us anyway? They can try to catch me if they can… Come to think of it, I remember that you have a daughter, and unlike you, your daughter is quite beautiful too.
Hehehe, I guess I’ll masquerade as you next time, and then, your daughter will be…」

「YOU B*STARD?! TRY TO SEE IF YOU CAN HURT MY FAMILY?! YOU FUC— AAARGH?!」

「Try what? You’re going to die here anyway! You can watch peacefully from heaven when I use your appearance to r*pe your daughter!!」

 

At that moment, one of the pirates screamed “Guaa!”

 

「What is it?」

 

When Sarite turned around, the first thing that he saw was his subordinate being knocked to the deck of the ship and bouncing back in midair.

 

「Hey, what’s the matter?」

「S-Sorry, boss! One of the passengers suddenly…」

「What?」

“”

 

When he turned, he saw the hooded figure of a man.

 

「You should be the man in the same room as that girl over there… So you’re looking for the girl, eh? Unfortunately for you, we already hijacked this ship.
If only you had stayed obediently in your ca— Eh? You should’ve drunk the tea too… So how are you still awake?」

 

It was an extremely powerful sleeping drug that would knock out someone for 12 hours, even if the victim only drank a mouthful of the tea.

There was no way it wasn’t effective.

 

Sarite tilted his head with a confused look on his face, but he felt there was no problem since they had already taken over the ship.

And just when he thought that a person wouldn’t be able to do anything to change this situation…

 

「「「DIE!!」」」

 

The armed pirates surrounded the hooded man at once.

Yet the man didn’t seem to be perturbed at all.

 

「HAH!! DON’T THINK WE WILL GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING!! DIEEEEEEEE!」

 

One of the pirates slashed at the hooded man with the saber in his hand.

The hooded man didn’t even carry any weapon with him.

 

CLANK!

 

「Eh?」

 

Surprisingly, the hooded man caught the saber with one hand.

Then, he used his free hand to seize the belt of the pirate who attacked him.

 

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!」

 

…And flung the pirate away as if the pirate was nothing more than a light stone.

The pirate landed in the sea, creating a splash as he fell.

 

「WHA—!」

「D-DON’T BE AFRAID! HE’S ALONE!」

 

After that, all the pirates who charged at him were thrown into the sea.

 

「M-Monster…」

「W-WHO THE H*LL IS THIS GUY?!」

With their superior numbers, the pirates raised a commotion when they realized that they couldn’t do anything against the hooded man.

When the pirates were scared shitless like that, the hooded man approached Sarite in a straight line.

 

「H-HOW CAN IT BE?! YOU SHOULD’VE DRUNK THE TEA TOO! WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?!」

「…」

 

The hooded man replied with silence.

That silence made Sarite even more scared.

 

「S-STOP RIGHT THERE! STOP OR I’LL KILL THIS WOMAN!」

 

He approached the girl who slept peacefully nearby, pointing his knife at her neck.

 

「…!」

 

The hooded man finally stopped in his tracks.

Sarite ordered his lackeys the moment he saw the other party had faltered.

 

「KILL HIM!!!」

“”

「「「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!」」」

 

It was a complete reversal.

The hooded, weaponless man was being surrounded by so many pirates, about to be cut down.

「KUHAHAHA! UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU! WE’RE GOING TO ENJOY THIS GIRL TO THE FULLE— Eh?」

 

Sarite was laughing his a*s off, convinced of his victory until he realized that something was amiss.

 

「H-HOW CAN YOU STILL STAND UP?!」

 

The man who should’ve been shredded alive was still standing still without even a single scratch on his skin.

Upon recognizing the abnormal situation, the pirates stepped back in fear.

 

The hooded man’s clothes were shredded to pieces along with his hood.

The hood that barely covered his head flew off as the sea breeze blew in his direction.

 

…Exposing a white-haired, red-eyed youth’s face beneath the hood.

 

「W-What the h*ll is this… guy?」

「He’s so young…」

「I-I should’ve slashed his face, but seriously…」

 

It seemed the rowdy pirates had no idea about the white-haired, red-eyed man’s identity, but Sarite heard about that man’s features before.

 

「T-those eyes and hair… N-No…way!」

 

He was too shocked to the point that he dropped the knife he pointed at the girl and fell on his rear.

 

「N-N-NO, LIFE, KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!」
