Orphan Adventure in the Blue Sea
Chapter 10 Larswald

　This was a battlefield that smelled of blood. The war moves forward, digging trenches.

　People used to fight with swords and guns. The bodies are everywhere.

　Even though they were the same person, they killed each other. Although the culture is not much different..

　The spirit should be a pure force that keeps people alive. It is wrong to use it as a deadly weapon to kill people. Rathbal

Tom always thought so.

Rathwald, who could use fire and water spirits, was a valuable force on the battlefield.

　Are you fighting with the spirit flame on your sword? Are you going to chop off the enemy's head with a water spirit cutter?

　Even on the other hand, there were still many people who could use magic.

　However, the strength of this party's stronghold was simply too great. Garef Empire...The name of the place where Larswald was born and the great country that Larswald fought for his life.

　In order to expand its territory, the Garef Empire had a tendency to fight against the neighboring small states. Many invasions have been repeated throughout history.

　Lars (Raswald) stops counting the number of soldiers he kills.

　Once he became an assassin, his senses were like numbness. Nevertheless, the losses experienced by our colleagues are also not small.

　Lars had experienced a scene where a colleague who had been chatting amiably with him until yesterday was sacrificed to bloodshed and lay in a pool of blood.

　`This war is wrong.'' Everybody thinks so. However, he could not break the orders of the Imperial Emperor.

　Lars, who is only 20 years old, fights enemies on the battlefield where explosions are often caused by artillery fire, while fighting the doubts that arise within him. I don't understand what that means. What does it mean that people kill each other?

　Lars who had served in the military chose to flee abroad by becoming a hawker despite being born from a noble family. The country has a military conscription system. If there is another war, everyone has to go to war.

　I don't want to kill anyone or see my friends get killed.

　Lars left the country with his younger brother. Lars objected and told her to stay home, but her youngest sister, who was against the family, also went along with her.

　The three of them received financial support from their understanding parents and set out for the country of Jacinto to become hawkers.

　Five years have passed since then. The three of them became friends and achieved great success as hawkers. Lars already had academic and economic knowledge under his father's guidance, so it was not difficult for him to succeed.

`My brother, what are you thinking?'' his youngest sister, Natasha, said to his older brother, Larswald, who was lying in a recliner on the beach, looking out at the sea.

“Natasha?” Lars took off her sunglasses.

　Now at 25, Natasha has always been impressed by Lars' dignified performance. (When she's my older brother, she's cool.) Natasha thought to herself.

"Just remember something from the past. What, I'm not sleeping."

`I know that, comrade, said Natasha while wearing a swimsuit and hoodie.

Natasha has just turned 15.

　The three brothers Lars, Arthur, and Natasha are resting with their caravan on the Mag Mel Islands. Today, we do commercial shipping rather than land transportation.

　The group and its large sailing ship stayed at Magh Mel Islands and enjoyed swimming in the sea.

"Nii-san, around here is safe and protected. But did you know? Spetsnaz forces with international treaties are coming to these islands soon."

"What's? Is that true, Natasha?"

“Yes, Nii-san. People in the city talk about it.”

“Brother,” said Arthur as he walked towards me from a distance. It's not a swimsuit, it's an everyday outfit. He was wearing a thin shirt and tie.

`i thought it would be safer to leave the Mag Mel Islands before Spetsnaz came, said Arthur.

"...It's not like that at all. I'm just saying this as someone who has to protect everyone in this caravan."

so, I have to learn from your sense of responsibility, said Lars.

　There were about 80 members of the caravan. That's why Lars, who thinks everyone is his family, has a duty to protect everyone.

"Captain!" sound from far away. At the same time, there was the sound of running footsteps. It was a member of the caravan that was running along the sandy beach.

"It's a big deal. Lanfranc was resting at the bar when he got involved with some suspicious bandits..."

"What?" ask Lars.

"There's commotion! Please help me, Captain!"

"Okay, I'll be right away."

“My brother, me too,” said Arthur as he took out his Shine Sword.

"Um, Arthur, follow me. Natasha, you don't move here."

``I understand, brother.'' Natasha, who cannot use magic, is a child who obeys her brother's orders.

"Hai Gerard (name of the member who came to report), where are you? What's downtown?"

"Yes, Captain! It's a cafe called Lubosca, a little west of downtown. Lubosca Cafe!"

"Okay, you don't move, Gerard! Were any other members attacked?"

"Not for now, Captain."

"Well, if you're Lanfranc, you'll be fine as long as you're serious.but his mood gets bad when he drinks..."

“Brother, let's quickly go.”

“Hmm, Arthur's right! I ask you to do the rest, Gerard and Natasha!”

　With that, Arthur and Larswald rushed to Cafe Luboska.

　　　　　　　　　*

　Around that time, in Cafe Luboska.

"I told you, don't let the woman go" Lanfranc said.

"W-what are you saying!? This woman is a whore! I'll take it!"

if you touch a weak woman, I will kill you, right?'' said Lanfranc while taking out a sword from his waist. Although Lanfranc could not use magic, his friends said he was good at using swords.

(However.) said Lanfranc.

(If I swung my sword as much as I am now, this tavern cafe would turn into a rebellion, and I would feel sorry for its owner... Now, I can't use Shine Sword, so what should I do? i'm willing?)

the woman is indeed working like that, but she does not like cruel people like you, right?'' Lanfranc said in a provocative tone.

　A `kejam'' man who caught a prostitute... Judging from his appearance, was he a pirate? The man who seemed to be thinking about it snorted.

"If you move just a little, I'll cut this woman's neck off!"

"Help me!" shouted a woman.
