I Won’t Allow Power Harassment!

While we were delivering the dwarf to town, a monster called a troll attacked us.

Trolls.

They were also called giants.

I suppose they were around two to three meters tall.

Their bellies bulged out, their heads were bald, and their ears were pointed.

They were demi-human type monsters.

“…Seyi-sama, this is strange. Trolls should normally live inside caves.”

“I see… That is strange.”

In other words, why was it walking around in this damn cold?

“Y-You little runt… d-don’t run!”

The troll lifted up a snowball, packed it hard, and threw it at the dwarf.

Cherge’s gun probably could not shoot it down.

It couldn’t be helped.

I threw an Explosive Potion.

The snowball vanished in midair in an instant.

“As expected of you, Master-dono! What splendid skill!”

“It is rare for Master to help someone. As expected of the Saintess.”

Huh? Was she picking a fight with me?

When I looked at Cherge, Cherge turned away with a huff.

Seriously, how long was she going to keep sulking…?

“It’s not like I’m helping someone. It’s just… his eyes are unpleasant.”

The troll was looking down on us.

Especially toward the dwarf, he was directing a scornful gaze at him, as if he were looking at an insect.

I knew those eyes.

They were the same eyes as the trash boss who power-harassed me when I worked at the royal court.

“D-Don’t get in my way… little runt. T-The one I got business with is that bearded little runt over there.”

Apparently, he had business with the dwarf.

“Did this dwarf do something bad to you?”

The troll let out a snickering sneer.

Ah… no. I’m about to snap.

“T-The little runt is o-our slave!”

“Okay, death penalty.”

I quickly threw an Explosive Potion.

The troll could not react and took the explosion directly, then collapsed.

“Seriously… What do you mean slave, you moron!”

Don’t go around treating someone as a slave when they had not been bought and sold as one!

Seriously…

“Oh, thank you very much! Saintess-sama!”

The dwarf knelt before me while shedding tears.

“Please, save us as well!”

Us… huh…

Did this mean I had gotten dragged into some kind of trouble?
