The one who pointed a gun at me was the mercenaries who came by previously, the ones who were prohibited from coming in my shop.

“Hold ya horses, don’t you try to use magic. I’ll fire.” Putting his finger on the trigger, one of the mercenaries sneered.

“Don’t you dare open your mouth, raise your hands.”

It seems they are wary of my movements.

“Don’t you try doin’ something weird. I’ll fire, I tell ya.”

“…”

If I made any movements of casting any magic, they will fire the gun. And so, I obediently raised my hands.

“Kekeke, you’re too conceited for a young lady.”

“Just because you can use some magic, don’t think you can oppose us.”

…. Truth be told, not just ‘some’ magic though…

A barrier magic is erected around the shop, and the people who I have prohibited to enter could not come in no matter what they do.

“Destroy the window glass! Enter through there!” The mercenary pointing his gun at me shouted.

*shatter*, as the window glass shattered, the pieces scattered around the shop. Surprised, my body reacted but I held back my scream.

“Oi, but I can’t enter?!” Since you are prohibited from entry, of course you could not enter even through the window.

“Give her a punch or two.”

“That’s right! Then we can somehow enter.”

I stiffened after hearing them say so. Even if you do that, you still can’t enter though…

Not only did they shatter my dear shop’s window glass, but to also point a gun at me. Unforgivable.

But moving now would not be the best of plans. I have to find an opening.

“How ‘bout that, lady? If I shoot you, can we enter then?” asked the mercenary with the gun.

I slowly shook my head to the sides.

“Damn, that magic of yours? Then dispel it now! Else, I’ll shoot!!”

Pointing the gun towards my feet, he removed the safety switch. It seems he would shoot my feet if I do not answer.

I think about my next action. Should I dispel the barrier momentarily to let them in and find a counter chance? Or should I take a risk and take a chance right now?

*gulp*, I swallowed my breath.

The mercenary who pointed the gun at me seemed to want to say something out of impatience…

Then—

A frightening roar reverberated through the ground.

The mercenaries reflexively whirled around.

“You lot!!” Screamed Ryuse-san.

“You dare treat her roughly!?” I could hear Chise-san.

“Eeeeek!”

The mercenaries who saw the figures of the DemiMercSquad all went pale. Gradually a scream came out from the person who held the gun, and he fired his gun.

*BANG!*

I stiffened from the sound of the gun shot. No matter how robust the Demis are, if they are hit, they would not go unscathed.
