508 Always When It's Almost Over
Apparently the woman is right in my straight zone despite my lack of reaction to the elves.
(Ah, I see, she's closer to 'reality' than elves. She looks like an ordinary blond and blue eyed foreigner after all.)
While I was finding a new side of me, the woman came out of the room with a new attire.
"I-I'll be in your care."
She's wearing completely normal looking clothes for outings. Looks like they made her wear that dress when they took her here.
"I'll be on the lookout in front, please follow after me. We might come across the mooks who went outside."
The woman nodded and timidly followed me while tip-toeing.
Her footsteps are unsteady, probably because she's trying not to look at all the bodies lying on the ground. Trying to walk straight while averting her gaze, she looks like she'd fall down anytime.
And so, I pull her hand until we get outside.
She jolted and started shaking at first, but calmed down after I told her my reason.
"I-I'm sorry. I never thought it would come to this..."

That's only natural. She's just like me. Most trouble I got dragged into defaulted to 'How did it come to this?'
Of course other people in the same boat would have that impression as well.
I let go of her hand outside. Now, we just have to leave the grounds. Then, retracing the path I took here should get us to that meat skewer stall.
Afterwards, I only need to ask them send a message to the kingdom's soldiers and my role is over.
And yet, ah, and yet, the rest of the gang members who were out in the town came back.
We bumped into them just as the gate were right under our nose.
"Oon? Ain't that the woman Gora-sama nabbed this morning. And who the heck are you? ...Welp who cares. Gora-sama must be tired of this woman. He ain't gonna complain if we have our way with her."
There's about 20 of them. They all came in through the gate and surrounded us.
Every single one of them had the look of a small time villain.
"Guys? Why don't we play with this brat too? Today our targets coughed up with no resistance. I wanna go wild."
"Beating him up while making out huh. Nice one! I'mma do that!"
"Bring the snacks and booze to the yard. Gehahaha."
The thugs laughed vulgarly while looking at us.
The woman hiding behind me started hugging her own body while shaking uncontrollably.
She must have imagined the worst outcome befalling her.
As for me.
"Man you guys are really beyond saving. How'd you cross the line I set so easily. Quit laughing with your dirty mugs. You're making me mad."
I've come here to crush. But I did consider using them like I did Eltros if they seemed usable.
But it appears they're all rotten to the core.
I captured members of the last syndicate I crushed with the elves, but I don't feel as charitable with these guys.
"Oy, do you wanna die? I'll let you off if you open the path, right away."
"...Oy, did y'all hear this brat? Buhyahyahya! I ain't heard this joke in a while! Said by a weird damned brat at that! Why don'tcha we study him? Gyahagyahahaha!"
I'm not hiding my hair and eye color right now. They'd have said the same thing anyway regardless.
The men wouldn't stop laughing you'd think they were about to roll on the ground.
"I don't care if you made fun of me, but I don't like your laughs. For the sake of my ears, I'll start with you."
I took my katana from magic bag and did an iai slash. The man approaching me got cut in two.
