In a situation where both the bandit and Raven are frozen by the unexpected appearance of a third party, a man who calmly looks around opens his mouth in an extremely light manner. A playful voice continued.

"I didn't interrupt you when you were in the best of times, right?"

"...From what you're saying, I don't think he's a bandit."

Raven, who had barely stopped his actions right before his death, just rolled his eyes and looked at the intruder's clothes.

"Are you a mercenary?"

"That's right!"

"Then I want you to help me instead of just watching."

"Ha, what? Whose mind..."

Pook!

"Okay. I had to process it anyway because of the request."

The mercenary who kicked the rampaging bandit leader away without hesitation laughed brightly.

"B... boss!!"

"Oh, she was the boss? I told you to capture the leader alive, but he's still alive, right?"

"How dare you kick me?! Kill him now!!"

"Oh, you're alive. Thank god."

He's an unusual idiot. He looks like he has skills, so there's no need to worry about him. Raven sat up and patted Didi's head as if to reassure her, who had already come nearby, and then shifted his gaze to face Dan.

As if an iron plate had been placed over his face, the guy standing shamelessly nearby secretly looks at the mountains in the distance. He laughed at that funny sight and looked away.

'...Yes, you are safe by my side.'

Even if one more sandbag is added, it won't make much difference. Even if he wants to break it, there is no problem. What's even more surprising is that he has a strange confidence that he will be saved.

Rather...

The rolling eyes reflected a mad dog who was running wild with excitement and steadily clearing out the bandits.

'I thought you were going to try a low-quality negotiation.'

He was surprised by the mercenary who willingly helped him. If it had been the normal mercenaries he knew, they would have asked me how much he would give them if he saved us, and then tried to take a big bite out of them. After all, he's an ordinary idiot, so he guessed his flow of thought is also unusual, he doesn't think it's rude. 

He pulled out his dagger and approached the mercenary who was tying up the bandit leader.

"Mm...?"

The guy who sensed a presence raises his head. An innocent face, unlike the massacre just now, turned towards Raven. Raven, with an expressionless expression, grabbed the guy's collar and swung the dagger.

Kaang!

A dagger flew from somewhere and bounced off with an eerie crashing sound.

"There are three people."

"Well, I thought I had everything sorted out..."

The way he is grabbed by the collar and blinking his eyes looks very stupid. Well, since he received help, he guessed he should repay him in this way. Raven put his hand into his arms, caught the dagger between his fingers, and threw it. At first glance, it looked like he swung empty-handed because it flew away almost as soon as she took it out, but the mercenary who saw the scene up close said the situation was different.
