“Say what?” The pirate stopped his saber midswing and looked at the door. In the doorway stood the ostentatiously dressed but drooping Kevin Laphicet.

“C’mon, just drop everything and surrender, okay? I’ll put in a good word for you to make your sentence a light one,” Kevin said.

“Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” The pirates burst into laughter as soon as Kevin finished.

“Oh man, I was wondering who it was, but it’s just the frail great hero from yesterday,” one of the underlings said.

“What, did you come to get your ass kicked by the great Hero Slayer Betts again?” Betts said.

They’re really lording it over Master Kevin, Rosetta thought. She supposed it was a given after what had happened the day before. Even her heart had fallen when it wasn’t Alan at the door.

Still, something about him seems...different from yesterday?

Kevin still looked as limp as an overcooked noodle, but she now sensed an undercurrent of intensity in the way he carried himself. It was the same force that made her reflexively bow her head that she felt from the other heroes during the meeting.

“Seems like no one feels like letting me enjoy my retirement in peace,” Kevin grumbled, then drew the two hunting swords on either side of his waist.

Rosetta widened her eyes in surprise. He had eased himself into a stance with a sword in both hands that was both natural and devoid of openings.

Perhaps I will finally get to witness it. She wanted to see the strength of the man who had defeated a shenmo during the Titanomachy; someone who was second only to Alan in the number of enemies he’d crushed.

The pirates fell silent as they could also sense the difference in his demeanor from yesterday.

“Hey! Don’t forget we have hostages here.” Flustered, one of the underlings pointed his saber at the shopkeeper.

“Don’t do anything dangerous, now,” Kevin said.

“What in the—” The pirate was shocked to see Kevin appear in front of him before he could even blink.

He’s fast! Rosetta, along with everyone else in the room, hadn’t been able to follow that movement with their eyes.

From below, Kevin kicked the pirate’s hand, knocking his weapon away.

“Dammit! He’s taking us for fools!” The three pirates surged forward to attack Kevin in unison. “Now diiieee!”

“Hmm... A diagonal shoulder slash, a tackle at my legs, and a magic attack at the same time,” Kevin said quietly.

Betts’s underlings rushed at Kevin. One of them slashed upward at him from a diagonal angle, while the other one went for his legs.

“Lightning Element, Tenth Magic...” Behind them, Betts was chanting his magic.

What?! Rosetta was stunned. The three pirates had moved exactly as Kevin had predicted.

“Whoa there.” Kevin stomped on the head of the pirate going for his legs, jumped off of it, then used the momentum to knee the sword-wielding pirate in the jaw.

“Gah!” With his brain rattled and his eyes rolling back in his head, the sword slipped out of the pirate’s hand before he could strike. Kevin swung his hunting sword at the middle of the sword’s blade.
