DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 23 - Saving Salsa

"Oh, I understand now. So what do you mean by 'Map' is gonna get us to Salsa's."

"Yes, like that. But I won't be able to do much when that person is too far out of reach." In our pursuit, I explained about the function of the map in the upper right corner of my vision.

"There! In the slums!"

I pointed to someone who ran in front of us, he must be the kidnapper we were looking for. Since there were no local people on the street, I concluded that he was the most suspicious.

"Ups!"

"What are you doing?!"

Brug! Bang out! And, Bomb!

Everything happened so fast. As I got closer to the perpetrator, we suddenly found a group of people in black robes who suddenly appeared before us.

"Awww ... My head still hurts." Maybe because it's dark, I can't see clearly, but, "Liya, Mr Bastian, why did you fall?"

"Ahh, that's because ..."

"Of course, it's all their fault!" Both give their own reasons, only Bastian looks to justify himself. Really, isn't it your fault that you're overzealous?

I can't blame this old man either. However Salsa's life is at stake, I would probably do the same if Liya ...

"Sorry about that, sir. We're actually on a mission to catch someone we think is a stalker. Therefore, we mistakenly thought you were the one being sought for running in the middle of the night." One of the group of robed people came while scratching their heads.

Wait, is this just a coincidence? "You mean you're looking for that guy too?" I frowned, a group of robed people suddenly said looking for someone must make me curious.

"Easy ... You're just wasting your time." Bastian uninspiredly tried to coax me out of this conversation. Wait, don't you think about it, are they?

"Richard?"

"And you are, ... Aisha?" Ah, that's the guy. A robed girl appeared from behind the darkness to show her face illuminated by the moonlight. It's beautiful, but, stop there! What the hell am I thinking?

"I didn't expect them to be the adventurer group you hired ..."

"Well, I feel hiring some people might be more helpful to find someone running away in this vast city." That's true too, you did well Aisha.

"Then, then, you saw the stalker as well?"

"Oh, you mean the fat man who brought a little child ..." When Aisha said the child in question was a woman, Bastian somewhat resentfully explained everything.

"So Salsa was kidnapped? Oh my goodness, that means it was ..." Aisha startledly covered her mouth with both hands and suddenly cried.

At times like this, I think it's usually the closest person to lose the most, but, I just found out something. Aisha calls Salsa her own sister.

"System, can you give me some help?" I'm talking to the system. As usual, I only spoke in a voice that was only heard by him.

"It's kind of hard, on the map you can see that the guy's still in this place, plus it's kind of dark to be seen by the eyes." And, that's the problem. I'm not smart enough to solve this kind of puzzle, "So the only way is possible by making some kind of illumination to be able to see ..."

"Ah, I have an idea!"

***

"That's amazing."

"What a rare sight." Both Bastian and Aisha could not hide the shock. Well, I don't think too much about it and focus on what my priorities are.

"Is this so? Mister?" Yeah, that's exactly what it was like on my idea. Simply put, such a system says that the perpetrator is sculpting and not moving, it means that he decided to wait for us to leave.

"Let's see ... There is ..." Of course, the first is a building, and the second is an empty street, then the last is a group ... Hohoho, looks like I've found it.

"He is among you! The group of robed humans!" I pointed to one of the tallest and the one in the middle.

Well, there are indeed some high but the only one is fat and there is a little bloating in certain parts.

Really because it was dark or because there were too many people hired by Aisha, I couldn't even discern their height before, but, I'm sure she must be the one.

While Bastian, Liya, Aisha and some of the original group members were still confused by my accusations, before the person I was referring to with the initiative forced out.

"What are you doing?!"

The people around him panicked, and in one fell swoop, "Whoah!" They suddenly crashed because something kicked the backs of everything, simultaneously when the stalker showed his face.

"Richard! I'll make you pay-"

"Damn it! Return my daughter!" Bastian cut the word and gave the fist. What are you trying to do?

"Gyeahhh!" Did I just hear someone make a voice like sighing in pain? Ah, put that aside.

"City ... We'll help him!" I said while pulling the sword.

"Good!"

"Wait, please let me help too! I will!" Wow-wow, stop there Aisha. Don't you have that ability? Ah, I mean because you work as a receptionist, I don't think you're equipped with some kind of martial skill.

"WHISPER!!!" The silence subsides when something makes everything go silent. When I found out the owner of the voice was the one who pointed a knife at Salsa, eh?

"Whoever doesn't want this girl to get hurt then drop your weapons! Especially you old man, stay away!" Like our opponent said, he did it again to escape. A plan that I find very devious.

"Before that can you tell me what purpose you're doing this for?" I asked, he looked a bit surprised to hear that.

"Don't you know? I'll make it mine and ..." Since this talk leads to things that are not suitable for children, then I can conclude that the purpose of this man doing it is because of a hobby.

"Ah, I know you! You are a wanted person for being responsible for more than ten rape cases. You better give up now!" Well, that's how it is. Aisha explained it briefly. But in my opinion, it's not like it could change the situation with just those last two words.

All right, while the two are busy with the conversation. I said a skill name, "Speed Up!" Then in less than a second it was behind him and took Salsa.

"You! What are you?!"

"Now everything is fair, right? No more hostage-taking." Whops, I saw Salsa who seemed to be asleep, but, why are there tears in the section ... ,"Well, since you like to make girls cry, then I'll ..." I watched Bastian and gave the green light to him and some cloaked people doing something.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't want to do it again, really! Please forgive me!"
