"She is dangerous. Don't be stupid, surround her.

" The ruffians' leader had gotten serious.

nSome of the men held axes, the others swords. Their gazes turned grim and wary. They surrounded the young samurai girl.

n

"She is in danger.

" Nero guessed as she saw that these men were used to attacking in groups, using a military-looking formation.

n

"Should we help?

" Choko asked a little apprehensively.

n

"Mm...

" Nero thought. Then she stomped her foot on the ground and from her shadow Luna appeared.

"Go and save her. Then run with her towards that temple.

"

nWith quick steps, Luna ran. Getting close, she howled.

n

"A wolf!

" The Red Blade gang each wore a surprised expression but soon returned to normal. However, they underestimated Luna's speed as she easily passed them and reached the young samurai's side.

n

"Climb on!

" Nero yelled through the crowd.

nSurprise appeared on the young samurai's indifferent face. She only took a second to think and climbed onto Luna's back.

n

"Don't let her get away!

" The leader was alarmed, but he was too late.

nLuna was fast and agile. She dodged the onslaught and fled with the beautiful young samurai on her back.

n

"Incredible!

" Someone shouted from the crowd.

n

"Let's go too.

" Nero pulled Choko's hand.

nThe gang leader glared at the crowd. He was furious that someone had taken his prospective wife from him!

nHis blood boiled and nearly made him attack the crowd, but he managed to contain himself. If he did something that wild, things would get messy, even if their group was Red Blade.

n

"Damn, damn! Follow them!

" the leader yelled, and didn't wait for the rest of his men and started running in the direction Luna had fled.

nThe bandits didn't give up easily, for several minutes they ran trying to catch Luna, but without success.

n

"Dammit!

" The gang leader swore and glared at his men.

n

"Ahhh!

"

nOne of them could not avoid the fury of the leader as he kicked him in the ass, causing the man to be hurled a few meters away.

n

"You are all worthless pieces of **! Keep looking for that samurai girl. If you find her, you better bring her to me, otherwise…

" He glared as he expressed a strong intention to kill.

"Besides, find out who helped her. When you find out who, kill them!

"

n

"Yeah!

" Seeing that their leader was furious, they didn't dare play around. They dispersed and started trying their best to find the samurai girl, but before they got far, their leader saw a wolf enter a secluded alley in town.

nA sneer curled the ruffian's chapped lips, his potato-like nose took a deep breath, and he motioned for his men to follow him and not make a noise.

n'You are mine, samurai girl!' Licking his cracked lips, he walked into the alley and saw three beautiful girls and a wolf. 'Was it these two girls who helped her? Gihaha! My luck is very good!'

n

"Surround them! Don't let them get away this time!

" With a wide smile, he manifested murderous intent. It wasn't that he wanted to kill the three girls, but in his mind the wolf was useless and needed to die.

n

"I am Jingu,

" the samurai girl said to Choko and Nero,

"Thanks for helping me, but since they managed to find us, I'll stay and hold them for you to run away, gozaru.

"

nNero liked this girl's personality and laughed.

"Are you worried about us? How cute. All the more reason not to let you fall into the hands of these perverts. Come on, let's go to a more open space.

"

n

"You don't have to do that, gozaru.

" Jingu couldn't loosen her grip and her beautiful eyes blinked in surprise.

n

"This place looks empty, that's good.

" Nero stopped in the middle of what appeared to be a slum, but uninhabited.

n

"Big Blue, show up.

" At Nero's command, a large blue turtle appeared.

nThe Red Blade gang were shocked and wary, and some were scared and took a few steps back.

n

"Cowards, don't think about running away! It's just a little too big of a turtle, and besides, it must be super slow-

"

n*Whoosh!*

nThe leader didn't even finish what he was going to say as a jet of water shot in his direction. He was slightly shocked, yet still managed to dodge. Now, the Red Blade leader looked differently at Big Blue, and he would underestimate it anymore.

nSeeing the crater that formed in the ground, Jingu was surprised. Even though this was the furthest part from the city center, the ground they walked on was very resistant, but seeing that Big Blue's attack had managed to open a hole in it, she realized there that they could end up winning this fight.

n'But if the turtle and the wolf are that strong, this girl must be a summoner type, so she probably doesn't have much defense and physical strength, gozaru?' It wasn't that Jingu was belittling Nero, but it was inevitable to think so. Even the leader and his Red Blade henchmen thought so.

nBut was Nero the type to stand by and do nothing while her summons struggled? Of course not!

n

"Where'd she go?

" Losing sight of Nero, the Red Blade gang became alarmed.

n

"Urghhh!

" A pain-filled scream echoed.

nNero kicked one of the gangsters in the abdomen and sent him flying five meters away with some broken bones.

n

"Don't panic! Leave her to me, and deal with the other two girls and the two summoned animals,

" the leader said as he walked towards Nero. He knew his men wouldn't be able to go against her, seeing her speed.

nChoko held her Hunter Card and from inside, she pulled out her gauntlets. Quickly putting them on, she slammed her fists together, boosting her fighting spirit.

"Let's do this!

" she squealed wittily.

nThe samurai girl, Jingu, was affected by Choko's scream and Nero's performance and clutched the hilt of her samurai sword.. Her gaze became sharp as a blade, and then quickly she moved.
