-A little later-

【Espoir - Back Alley Warehouse】

Men: Gwah…!

Men: Urgh…!

Thud, thud…

Nac: There we go.

Nac: That’s everyone.

Men: Urguuh…

Nac: Are you really assassins from the Stein family?

Nac: The famed family of assassins seems to be on the decline…

Men: T-This guy’s too strong…

Men: We didn’t land a single blow on him.

Men: He’s a stick. How is he so strong…

Muu: Amazing, Nac-san!

Muu: You beat so many people so fast!

Nac: Ahh~ That’s right. Before I forget, let me clarify one thing…

Nac: Everyone I’ve defeated is still breathing.

Nac: Rest assured, I avoided hitting anyone’s vitals.

Nac: I’ve already decided to stop taking lives.

Nac: You should treasure people’s lives too.

Men: D-Damn it…

Nac: Now that you’ve learned the hard way…

Young Man: Damn it!!

Young Man: It’s not over yet!

Nac: !!

Muu: Oh no! He’s going for Aruji-sama with a knife…!

Muu: Aruji-sama, dodge!

> Dodge to the right > Dodge to the left

Young Man: I knew you’d go that way!

> He knew…!? > I-I can’t dodge in time…!

Stab…

Muu: Aruji-sama!!!

Muu: W-Wait, what…

I thought I got stabbed, but I didn’t feel any pain.

I lifted my head, and in front of me, I saw Nac.

Nac: Kuh…

Nac: Aruji-sama… Are you alright…?

> Nac…! > Why did you…

Nac: Guh…

Muu: Nac-san, there’s a knife in your back…

Nac: …Oi

Young Man: Hiie!

Nac: Attempting to lay a hand on my Aruji-sama…

Nac: Seems like you’re asking for death.

Young Man: U-UWAAAAA!

Men: R-Run for it!!

Dash…

Nac: Hah… They’ve escaped.

Nac: I intended to capture and hand them over to the guards, but…

Nac: It’ll be difficult with this wound…

Nac: …Urgh… Aruji-sama, are you injured?

Nac: My apologies for letting you experience something so dangerous.

> Worry about yourself first!

Nac: Oh, this?

Nac: No need to worry. I wasn’t stabbed in a vital area.

Muu: I-I’ll get some water and something to stop the bleeding!

Nac: Sorry to trouble you, Muu-kun.

Nac: Hah…

> Are you okay?

Nac: Please don’t make that face.

Nac: You look lovelier, smiling.

Nac: Well, I guess it’s hard to smile in this situation.

Nac: My apologies for scaring you.

Nac: …Urgh…

> You got injured because of me…

Nac: I’m used to getting injured like this.

Nac: My body is littered with scars anyway.

Nac: This is just another one.

Nac: And…

Nac: I’m quite proud of myself right now.

> Proud?

Nac: This body bears many scars, but…

Nac: This is the first one I’ve received from protecting a loved one.

Nac: This wound is nothing to be ashamed of.

Nac: Rather, it’s something I take pride in.

> Even in this situation you’re still so smug

Nac: Fufu. That’s the type of person Nac Stein is.

Nac: I’m truly glad you’re safe.
