Chapter 47: Difficult fight
The guy had placed his giant sword on the ground and now the 2 of them were just staring at each other. Then the fight started all of a sudden. To my surprise Cleo didn't attack at all. Instead the guy rushed at her with full force. Cleo moved only a little to dodge him and tried to hit him back. But the guy was fast enough to avoid her hit. He tried the same move again with the same result but this time he only barely dodged Cleo's attack. He next tried hitting Cleo with a kick which she dodged but she couldn't dodge the surprise follow up kick. Cleo blocked it with her arms and was pushed back.
"See I am really strong! Do you feel like joining my party now?"
Cleo didn't reply and simply stared at him. The guy seemed to be embarrassed and said angrily "Fine, I will beat you up until you realize that joining me is the right thing for you!"
He started attacking again and Cleo continued to dodge and block his attacks. Suddenly I realized that I was swaying. I looked down and saw that the woman holding was swaying and humming as if enjoying herself. She must be happy since she thought her master was winning. I looked and saw that the other woman was also smiling happily at her master. I looked back and saw that the guy would look at the both of them in the middle of the fight. When he would see them admiring him, he would get a confidence boost and would fight with even more energy.
Suddenly I realized that the fight was moving away from us as Cleo was getting pushed back. The woman carrying me seemed to have realized that as well and started walking toward the fight. She stopped once she thought that we were in a good position. Then I finally heard her voice for the first time.
"Your friend should have just joined us. Now that master has been forced to fight with her, he will not be as merciful with her after beating her."
I looked down and saw her looking up at me.
"He takes what he wants and no one can stop him. Do you understand that little boy? That woman will soon be my master's plaything."
I wanted to say something but she ignored me and tightened her grip around my legs painfully making me cry out softly in pain.
"There is nothing you can do boy. There is nothing anyone can do to save her now."
I didn't say anything as I looked at her grim face. I decided that the only thing I could do was ignore her words. I didn't want to feel even more despair by believing her words. The woman adjusted her grip on me and started swaying me like a little kid again.
It occured to me that she really thought of me like a little kid. She didn't realize that I was an adult. After all I looked like any 12 to 13 years old kid. She probably thought I was someone that Cleo took care of. It might look like we came here to pick fruits or something. We didn't have adventurer badges so she had no reason to believe that were were adventurers. It probably never occurred to her that we were unranked adventurers. After all neither Turek nor me had been able to resist the two women when they dragged us away from the fight.
I started to feel depressed at my uselessness. After all, this woman didn't look that old. She was probably the same age as Turek. To be thought of as a kid yet again by a woman of similar age as me was humiliating. At this point I had suffered this humiliation 3 times in 3 days. Before coming to adventurer's guild, I didn't really have to interact with women such as these ones. Normal people on the street were not this tall or strong. While a lot of women were taller than me, not all of them were. It was possible for me to see women of height on the streets. But the guild was different. I had yet to see anyone of my height. Even the women, although shorter than men on average, were all taller than me. Now I had met this woman who was probably even taller than Janet who was around 6'1. This woman was probably 6'2 or 6'3 at the least. I had never seen these kind of tall women on the streets before. I was starting to feel that I was in a completely different world now that I joined the guild.
I sighed and I looked back at the fight just in time to realize that the fight had moved closer to Turek when suddenly Cleo counter attacked.
