Lena's curiosity about the brave, mysterious woman continued.「Miss, what's your name?」「It's Yamoshi Rina. First name is Rina.」「So you are from the East?」 Jay asked, intrigued.「Yes, in a country called Sakura.」Lisa gasped, recognizing the name.「No way! You're that Rina!」「Yes, but who are you?」「I'm Lisa! Remember? The Saintess? We used to play together whenever my father went there!」「...Happy... It's nice to see you again!」 Rina exclaimed.「...Hugs her... Yes, you too! So, how have you been?」「To be honest, currently not well. Because I'm in the market for a husband, and with my standing, my father is kind of strict on the males that I interact with.」「Wow, I can see how that's a problem.」「Yes. So for the next month, I'm to explore the outside, and when I return, I'm supposed to get married. ...Lisa lets go of her...」「Oh wow, that's sad. Real sad.」 Jay commented, suddenly sounding sincere.「Be serious, OK?」 Iris warned.「...Chuckles... A'ight, a'ight, I will.」Saalin stepped forward, addressing Jay carefully.「Um... Jay, can I say something?」「Of course you can.」「She fought off a group of slavers... You don't think—」Jay cut her off, his eyes hardening with understanding.「Sorry, but there are. I could tell by the crowd that surrounded her and those crooks that the people here know about it but are probably too scared to talk 'cos the crooks prolly got the Knights on a pay roll. And you want me to help, don't you?」「I know it's not part of our trip, but I'd appreciate it a lot if you could.」 Saalin pleaded.Jay looked at Iris, knowing she was his last hurdle.「Trust me, I don't want you, Princess, or any others to suffer like that, but I was told not to fight...」「OK, OK, you can help!」 Iris relented.「...Yawns... Thanks. ...Sits down on the sofa... But first... ...Then he fell asleep...」Rina stared at the prone figure.「Wow, he went out quick!」「Yah, he kinda only slept seven hours these past seven days.」 Liani explained.The Next Day...
Jay bolted upright.「Huh, where's my Princess?」Iris stood over him, holding a piece of paper.「You're finally up. And I got bad news.」「What is it?」「Better if you read it yourself. ...Gives him a note...」Jay read the scrawled message, and his calm facade shattered, replaced by a terrifying rage.「So the sons of bitches really thought kidnappin' my Princess and Saalin was a good idea?! They'll die for that! But— ...Calms down a little... I want to know how.」Liani explained the method used.「I saw ashes at your door, so they must've burnt a Night Rose. The smoke from it is potent enough to put a Dragon to sleep for a few days, so you waking up this early meant they probably burnt a pedal and not the whole flower.」「I see.」Lisa stepped forward, holding a small object.「Oh, and Jay, here you go. ...Hands Jay Lena's hairpin... I found this on the floor.」Jay smirked darkly.「Seems like my Princess made this more easier for us. Alright, guys, there are ten more underground slaver hideouts. Me and Rina will take five; you guys take the other five, OK?」「Got it!」 Liani affirmed.「Let's get the daughters of the Von Lancer Family back!」 Lisa declared.「Wisely said.」3 Hours Later... At a Slaver Hideout
Saalin was huddled in a filthy cage with Lena.「...Scared... Don't worry, Jay will save us!」「I know, Big Sis! 【C'mon, Papa, hurry up! Big Sis can't take this anymore!】」The Ring Leader approached the cage.「Oh, is that so?」「Yes, it is! My Papa will save us, and when he does, you'll be sorry!」「You sure about that, little demi?」「Yes, I am!」「You think he'll think of you the same if you lost your tail and ears?」「Papa is not shallow like you creeps!」The Ring Leader was enraged. He went into the cage and struck Lena with a fist. 「No, Lena!」 Saalin cried out.The Ring Leader turned his attention to Saalin.【Oh, the older one seems fun.】 「Well, well, aren't you a looker. Seems like he has a sex slave with him.」Saalin backed away until she hit the wall of the cage.「St-stay away from me!」「...Laughs... You gotta be kidding me! A virgin sex slave! Ain't it my lucky day?!」Saalin realizing there's now way out.【Oh no!】Saalin has flashbacks of what happened to her mom and wet herself.「Seems like you know what happens next.」 The Ring Leader gloated.Lena, despite her swollen face, crawled through his legs and stood protectively in front of Saalin.「No, I won't!」「WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU, BEAST?! ...Raises his sword...」A cold voice echoed from the entrance.「She loves her Big Sister like crazy, that's it. Buh raising a sword towards a child? What the f*ck is wrong with you?」The Ring Leader spun around.「Oh, that so? ...Walks out the cage... But who are you two?」Lena's fear vanished instantly.「Papa and Ms. Rina!」「Hi, Princess. Hi, Saalin. You miss me?」 Jay's voice was low and dangerous.「We did!」 Lena cheered.「...With tears in her eyes... We did!」 Saalin echoed.「Are you two OK?」 Rina asked.「Yes, we are!」「...Relieved... Thank the Heavens.」The Ring Leader barked orders.「All of you, shut up! You two, how'd you get in?!」「Are you blind, or do you choose not to see the blood on my blade? Buh I came in like a normal person. ...Looks at Lena... What the—」「What's wrong, Papa?」「Princess, why's your face swollen?」「Oh, this? He hit me, Papa.」「...Pissed... I see.」The Ring Leader, sensing danger, threw a bag of gold at his men.「Bring me his head, and you'll be swimmin' in gold, boys!」
Then all of the Ring Leader's goons charged toward Jay and Rina. Jay took a stance, his hand resting on his katana.
「Lancer Technique 1st form: ...Then he appeared behind all of them...」The Ring Leader didn't see the movement.「Huh?」「...Sheathes his katana... Bloody Mary.」
In the next instant, all of the Ring Leader's lackeys exploded, and it rained blood where they stood.The Ring Leader was paralyzed with terror.
「What the hell! No way that just happened!」Rina was completely awestruck.【Not only does he have his own Technique, but his swords are superior to ours... Who is this Jay von Lancer fellow?】Lena, watching the gore, gave a detached analysis.「I knew it! When Papa does it, blood doesn't stain his clothes!」The Ring Leader, utterly defeated, fumbled with the cage door and released Lena.「Wh-what the f*ck are you?!」Jay walked up to the terrified man.「Oh, me? I'm just a protective Father. Now let my daughter and Saalin go.」「Like hell I will!」「I see. ...Then his katana's blade became red hot... Close your eyes, Princess!」「...Smiles... OK, Papa! ...She does and Jay blitz passed Ring Leader... Are you done, Papa? ...Then Ring Leader fell apart in cubes...」Jay's voice was calm, despite the carnage.「【Lancer Technique 2nd form: Dice.】 Yes, I am, Princess. You may open your eyes now.」
Jay bolted upright.「Huh, where's my Princess?」Iris stood over him, holding a piece of paper.「You're finally up.
