I'II Become A Villain In My Next Life
Chapter 16: Bandit Attack
[Main road]
~ After some time ~
On a clear day in the middle of the main road seen a train walking down this road that will lead to a new city.
There were mainly three people now driving this carriage
"By the way, why did you buy a car this big? Isn't an ordinary cart enough?" Ask Kaido
Hearing this Rebecca turned her head while remaining focused on the road
"Well, you never know! We're still starting our journey so maybe along the way we'll have more friends and stuff to carry" Rebecca reasoned
Receiving his answer, Kaido felt it was logical so he immediately changed the topic
"By the way, do you guys know where we are?" She asked
"I know!" Melfina
"Oh yeah?" Kaido is ridiculed
"Yes!" She said
As he said that he took out the map in his small bag and said
"Right now we are still on the main road with nothing to worry about but once we go further, we will somehow be a little challenged?"
"Challenge?" Kaido asked confusedly
"The problem is ...... Maybe there are monsters and bandits who will attack us and finding an inn will be difficult! The next village is the only village close to the city but we are still a long way away so maybe we might sleep outside occasionally! " Said Melfina
"The way you say it feels like you're not sure of something!" Kaido denied
"The .... The problem is I just don't want to make assumptions?" Said Rebecca
After pondering for a while, Kaido said
"It is true that having the wrong assumptions can lead to destruction! So it's okay not to be sure!" Kaido
Hearing their conversation, Rebecca started to interfere
"Come guys! I want to talk too! You two look close ... Have you met before?" Ask Rebecca
"Yes! Yes we do ...." Answer Kaido blatantly
"Whoah! You were so brave to say that even if you were in front of me" Rebecca said
"And why is that?" Ask Kaido
"It's simple I'm one of the famous female adventurers in the guild" Rebecca said
Looking at his arrogant face, Kaido raised a vein on his forehead
"Originally you know I don't have that feeling for you! Second, your only option is popular because there are very few female adventurers in your guild, and thirdly why should I worry about such a thing? If you don't like the way we talk you can leave after all I didn't force you to come but you came all the way and declared that you had no other choice .... That to me is bullshit! ' said Kaido
"Whoah! Kaido-sama knows how to anger someone!" Melfina
Hearing that Rebecca smiled wryly
"Um! About that ... I'm not angry at all and not offended!" She said
"Isn't ..... It seems like you have a lot of patience that almost feels like a noble noble" Melfina said
When he said this, Kaido glanced at a glance with one eye open and the other closed
"Now you call him a bit extravagant to buy something fancy" Kaido said
Hearing her words, Rebecca thought to herself
"Does this look fancy?"
After a while he answered Melfina
"All right no! This is just my attitude" Rebecca said
"I take that as a compliment" Rebecca said
As they chatted along the way, their journey seemed peaceful enough for a fantasy world
After lunch and moving to the next check point they stopped first along the river
"Stop here!" Kaido
"What's that?" Ask Rebecca
"I just want to do something" Kaido said
As he said that he jumped from the carriage and headed to the nearby river then looked into the forest
"Hmm?" Kaido tilted
After looking at it from a different angle, Kaido crouched down in the river and touched the water
As he touched it, he downed the water and tasted it on the tip of his tongue
When he did, he exclaimed
"Crusted metal?"
As he said that both Melfina and Rebecca were close to him and heard him
"Crusted metal? Is there a mine near here?" Ask Rebecca
"I don't know about that!" He added
"Kaido-sama!" Melfina
At this moment Kaido thought of something and used his brain
"No, it's not some kind of metal because I'm there, I'm going to pull it" he said
"interestingly?" Ask Rebecca
"Yes! .... I felt like there was something strange in this forest so I went to a nearby river and used a magnet to see if there were any foreign elements?" Kaido
"Magnetism? Whatisit? But did you find anything?" Ask Rebecca
"Yes right! But it's not a solid element but a liquid element so I tasted it" he said
"What did you find?" Ask Melfina
"It feels like corroded metal! And the only thing that feels metal corroded even if it's liquid is blood!" She said
"blood? But do you mean there's a battle inside? Then maybe the beast or monster inside was fighting!" Said Rebecca
"Not that! In this .... Our world the only creature that has a taste of corroded metal in its blood is man ... So we can wish there were dead humans in it" Kaido said
"Then isn't this dangerous?" Said Rebecca
"But we have no choice! Come on in and see for yourself" Kaido said
As they did so, they entered the forest until they reached the middle of it
As they slowly passed by, Melfina and Rebecca felt a terrifying aura coming from all directions that seemed to be staring at them
"It feels like there's targeting us women with their auras!" Said Rebecca
"Kaido-sama!" Melfina
"Just calm them humans I can feel them but somehow they can't feel me! It looks like I'm a teenager and look fit and have an undeveloped image! They underestimated me as someone meaningless" Kaido said
"not important? A human daring to see you is unimportant?" Repeating Melfina
This time Kaido grinned
"Human? More like a bandit! The bandits are thick, ugly, horny, perverted, and greedy" Kaido sneered
This time he said it so loudly that it made all the bandits notice him
