Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?
“What!? Charlotte was …… kidnapped……?”
I came home after finishing my sword training, and what my mother said to me was shocking.
I was unable to comprehend the meaning of those words for a moment and my mind went blank.
Apparently there was a child who happened to witness the moment the silver-haired girl was kidnapped.
The only silver-haired person in this town is Charlotte.
“I’m going to go look for her!”
“Ah! Hey! Alan!”
My mom is trying to stop me, but I’m not going to let her.
My friend is in trouble, and I have to go help her!
I grabbed the wooden sword in my hand and ran out of the house.
“What the hell happened …… Charlotte was kidnapped ……!”
Anyway, I ran to the square where there were many people to gather information.
I called out to everyone I could.
But the only information I could get was that a child had been kidnapped.
(Damn ……! The military police seems to be on the move, but they won’t give me any information ……).
I racked my brain desperately for a way out of this mess.
Then I came up with a theory.
Maybe there was a scene like that in the novel that I just missed. ……
With that thought in mind, I began to recall the memories of the other world that had flowed into my mind.
“There it is……”
There was indeed such a scene.
When Charlotte was seven years old, she was kidnapped by kidnappers.
Just before she was about to be sold, the prince, who was on a secret mission, heard about it from the military police and rescued Charlotte.
It seems that the story was written in a book called “Gaiden,” not in the main story, and I had completely overlooked it.
“I had a general idea of where the kidnapper’s hideout was. I have to go save her now!”
If the story is as told, Charlotte will be rescued safely by the prince.
But that doesn’t mean it’s going to be the same as in the story, and it’s not a reason to leave it at that.
I tried to be strong to protect Charlotte.
It’s true that at first I wanted my own life.
But now, if I can protect Charlotte, I don’t even need my own life.
The time to wield my power is now.
“Stay there as I remember. ……!”
Praying that this memory is correct, I run as fast as I can.
I already had a lot more strength than my age.
Anyway, I turn my legs desperately to hurry.
“Haa…… haa…… this is the place, right?”
The place we arrived at was a hut in the forest a little far from the town.
It was a place where no one would go because there were rumors of a mysterious disappearance.
I hid behind a tree and asked what was going on.
(Is there only one lookout? ……)
If there is a lookout, it seems to be a bingo.
I had no idea that they were using this place as a hideout.
I can’t see inside at all, so I don’t know how many other people are in there.
First of all, I needed to get rid of the guards without being noticed inside.
But all I had was my wooden sword, so I had no choice but to approach them and surprise them while hiding in the trees.
“Okay ……, now ……!”
I approached the guards just in time, and ran at once, aiming for the moment when the guards’ attention was diverted.
However, he noticed me when I was only two meters away.
The other guy pulled out his sword in a hurry, but my wooden sword struck the guard in the neck just a moment too soon.
Even though I have the strength of a child, I am well trained, and if something fairly heavy hit you directly in the neck, it could reap your consciousness
“It was close. ……”
Relieved, I sneak a peek inside through the window.
There were two men inside, and Charlotte was lying gagged and tied up.
I was a little relieved to see that she seemed to be conscious and not violated.
I turned my attention to the men.
(They both had weapons ……, but they were long and hard to swing indoors. ……)
The weapons the men were carrying were long military swords.
Maybe they were military men.
But indoors, I have a short wooden sword, so I have the advantage in terms of spacing.
“I mean, this girl’s hair color is creepy, though. Isn’t her face pretty good?”
“That’s right. Why don’t we just have it here secretly?”
“But we can’t touch the merchandise. ……”
“They won’t even know.”
Do it? What do they mean?
But the way the men looked at Charlotte was anything but friendly.
They were obviously trying to harm her in some way.
The moment I made that judgment, I kicked down the door and rushed forward.
I calmly swung my sword, but it only grazed him.
“Wha!? Why is there a kid here?”
“What happened to the lookout?!”
“I took down the lookout. Can I have Charlotte back, please?”
I don’t think they understand my words, but I’ll ask anyway.
Maybe they’re nice guys, contrary to their appearance.
“That’s a tough ask!”
“Die here, you little brat!”
They were as bad as they looked.
They knew that swords are hard to swing, or maybe they were just caught off guard by the fact that their opponents were children.
If it doesn’t reach, I can do it!
“If you don’t give me back Charlotte, be prepared, okay?”
“Gghh!?”
I ducked a too-slow fist and slammed a blow into their wrist.
It was my first time in a real fight, but I had no fear.
I have no fear, only strong anger.
I can’t allow these guys to kidnap Charlotte.
I struck the man holding his wrists with a series of blows, knocking him out.
“H-Hey! What’s wrong with you? You’re not the one who’s going to get beat up by some kid, are you?”
“There’s no point in calling out to him, right? Because he’s already unconscious.”
“Hiii! W-What the hell are you, ……?”
The other man retreats as if frightened.
It’s pathetic to do something like this when you don’t have the guts to fight.
“Then you’ll have to pass out, too, won’t you?”
“F, forgive me! The boss will kill me if that happens! I’ll do anything!”
Forgive?
Charlotte had a much scarier experience.
There’s no way I can forgive him!
“No. I guess this is where I say goodbye.”
“Ugh. ……”
Without even thinking about it, I landed a blow to the brain.
Of course, he wasn’t dead, just stunned.
I rushed over to Charlotte to make sure there were no more enemies left.
“Charlotte!? Are you okay?”
“Puhaaa …… Alan-kun! It’s so dangerous, but you came……?”
“I’m sorry I made you wait. I’m glad Charlotte is okay.”
“I didn’t want you to do anything dangerous,…….”
“I promised a long time ago, didn’t I? I would protect Charlotte.”
“Alan,……, Feeaaaaaaaannn!!!! I’m so glad you came! I was scared. ……”
Apparently, I scared her a lot.
Her body was trembling as she hugged me, and her unstoppable tears soaked my clothes.
I hugged Charlotte’s small, trembling body back and gently rubbed her back.
I had about three minutes to spare.
I soothed Charlotte and explained to her that we needed to get away from this place as soon as possible.
We opened the door and walked out, hand in hand.
My body was tired and heavy from our first real battle, but I was filled with relief and joy.
It was then…
“Hey, kid. Where do you think you’re taking that little girl?”
“?!””
When I quickly turned around, I saw a stern old man wearing an eyepatch standing there.
He exudes an air of intimidation that is incomparable to the people from before.
I held Charlotte behind my back and readied my sword.
“They were beaten by these kids? Tch! What a pity. ……”
It seemed like the battle wasn’t over yet.
A line of cold sweat ran down my forehead.
Forget about Charlotte or the prince or the bandits or the academy, this MC is Chaos personified.
Wow, they’re sick enough to want to violate a 7-year-old girl?
so a kid can beat 3 adults bc he train hard enough? lol for sure
No back up to support mcs training to explain how a 7yo took out 3 adults with a wooden sword? Like saying hes talented asf or a prodigy? Hell bro doesnt even have a teacher and he just trained by himself? Wtf is this bs
