Chapter 9: Hunting the Best

"This is sexual harassment."

"As much as I would love to banter, now is not the time, dear."

"This Ram does not know what Aaron-sama is talking about. She will be sure to report this manhandling of her delicate self to Roswaal-sama."

"I'm sure Rose will forgive my brutish self, oh fair maiden. Just as surely as he prefers his subjects continued wellbeing. He is responsible for their lives after all."

It has only been a few minutes since they left the estate, the urgency of the situation driving them to great haste. The village was still quite the distance away, both the winding path and the encroaching darkness making it seem even further.

Aaron had no problems with covering long distances quickly. His enhanced body allowed him to cover short distances with speeds rivaling some cars. If you factor in his Mana Burst, he was sure he could reach the village within a few short minutes.

Minutes they did not have to waste, which brought them to their current predicament. While Ram's assistance was appreciated, right now she was just too slow. She would not be able to keep up with the pseudo servant's full speed.

So, Aaron made his decision. The sooner they got this done, the sooner they would be home for dinner. Rem was a lovely cook and much like almost every iteration of Saber, his belly needed, nay, demanded nourishment. It would not do to let the rumbly-grumblies set in. He was also eager to test out the results of his training, the Mabeasts would not kill themselves after all.

He supposed there was also the issue of the endangered villagers.

So, to solve the problem the most obvious way, Aaron quickly acted.

He picked up the disgruntled maid like a sack of potatoes and the world around them blurred. Ram was not appreciative of the treatment.

"Grabbing at Ram's smooth and silky skin like this. She should have known better; to think Aaron-sama targeted her the whole time. Poor Rem was just a distraction to hide his true intentions, hmph."

"I will gladly pick Rem over your scrawny body at any time. What are you even talking about, I am not even directly touching any of your skin?! It's not like you're naked!"

" Scrawny?! Aaron-sama should feel blessed, he can still feel Ram's rich and smooth skin! She will charge you five holy coins for this service!"

"Service?! I'm the one who carrying YOU. Do you want me to drop you? I will definitely drop you!"

Despite her nagging, Ram could not help but take note of the speed they were moving at. Aaron did bring up the point of the imperiled children back before they left the mansion. If anything happened to them, it would reflect terribly on Roswaal-sama's reputation.

Still, could he not carry her in a different way?! She was delicate! The humiliation stung her pride fiercly.

She did find herself forced to agree with the knight in the end. He assured her they would be faster if he carried her. Though doubtfull, she could detect no lie from him and decded to trust him.

Which led back to her current predicament.

'He is fast, undoubtedly fast. He shows no sign of exhaustion, even while carrying me and moving at such unreal speeds.' The surroundings where no more than a blur to her.

She had seen him train every morning and noon the last couple of days. She knew he was both strong and fast, able to create pressure waves with the force of his swings, moving at times to fast for her eyes to follow.

But this, this was just ridiculous.

His current speed rivaled the kingdoms earth dragons, used for long distance travel. The idea of a human moving this fast was absurd. She doubted even Reinhard van Astrea, the current Sword Saint and Lugnica's most famous knight, would be able to easily match this speed.
