Alisa: Is it possible?? They’re back???

  Alisa froze in shock and started getting really scared.

  The whole vilge began to panic and run to hide in other pces.

  Rano: But this wasn't supposed to happen! That Mitsuki said this vilge was safe, and when we get here, they just kill the guards so easily like that?

  One of the monsters then looked directly at Alisa and said:

  Monster: There she is, the girl the master told us to bring...

  Hearing this, Rano quickly moved in front of Alisa.

  Rano: Stop right there! I won't let you do anything to her!

  Alisa was a little surprised but calmed down and smiled.

  Monster: Huh? And who are you? Another one who wants to die too? You’d better stay away from that girl, maybe I’ll give you a less painful death if you leave.

  Rano, with a fearful yet slightly angry expression, pulled out his sword and said:

  Rano: The only ones who will die here are you!

  Monster: Let’s see about that...

  Rano ran with his sword at one of the monsters.

  Rano: I’ll finish you!

  Rano struck the monster in the face, but it didn’t do much damage.

  Rano: What was that?? I hit this monster and it didn’t even get hurt!

  Alisa: Rano!! Watch out behind you!!

  Rano: Huh??

  Suddenly, a monster appeared behind him and punched him hard, making him fall to the ground, with a pool of blood appearing underneath him.

  Rano: AHHHH, AHHHH

  (He writhed in pain)

  Alisa then ran to Rano.

  Alisa: Rano? RANO?? Are you okay??? Please answer!!! ANSWER ME!!!

  Alisa began to cry.

  Alisa: What did you do to him???

  Monster: Your little friend there is probably dead! Now it’s time for you to come with us and tell us where the artifact is, unless you want to die.

  Alisa: D-Dead??? YOU KILLED HIM??? W-Why???

  Monsters: Shut up! No one here cares about that friend of yours or anyone else! We just want you to tell us where the artifact is! And maybe we’ll spare your life for a little longer!

  Alisa, still very sad but also angry, shouted:

  Alisa: Shut up! You’ve already taken my father from me, just killed my friend, and now you want to know where the location of something to destroy the earth is?? I WOULD NEVER TELL YOU THAT, NEVER!!!

  The monsters then grabbed her by the neck, choking her to make her tell them where the artifact was.

  Monsters: You’d better speak up!

  Alisa: HGHNHGN (trying to speak but being choked)

  Monsters: SPEAK, YOU BITCH!!

  Rano: Isn’t it time for you to stop this nonsense?

  Monsters: Huh??

  Suddenly, Rano stood up, and a purple aura started emanating from his body.

  Rano grabbed his sword and struck a monster with a heavy blow, sending it flying backward into a stone.

  Alisa, who was being choked by the monster, ended up falling into Rano’s arms after he punched that monster.

  Alisa: R-RANO?? A-Are you okay???

  Monsters: H-HOW???? HOW DID YOU NOT DIE??

  The monsters gritted their teeth in rage.

  Rano then replied with a smile:

  Rano: Better than ever!

  Rano set Alisa down and spoke to the monsters:

  Rano: I’m going to finish you off here and now. You’ll regret stepping into this vilge!

  Monsters: LET’S SEE THEN!

  The monsters ran at Rano, but he quickly dodged.

  Monsters: How did he dodge that??

  Rano: Now it’s my turn to py...

  Rano pulled out his sword and unleashed a fire attack toward the monsters, killing two of them.

  Rano: Two down, if you don’t want to die, you better leave!

  The monsters then charged at Rano and managed to nd a very strong punch, knocking him to the ground, breaking it.

  Rano stood up normally and then said:

  Rano: It’s time to end this...

  Monsters: HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT?

  Rano: ATTACK 16!

  Suddenly, Rano’s sword began to shine, and he started delivering incredibly fast blows to the monsters, too fast for them to react.

  Rano: Looks like you’ve lost. Now I’ll kill you!

  Rano then created a huge fireball and threw it at the monsters, killing them.

  After that, Alisa Mayka ran to Rano to hug him.

  Alisa: Rano!! What happened? How did you survive that attack?? How did you do that? It was so cool!

  Everyone in the vilge who was there started cpping for Rano.

  Rano: Uh-huh...

  Suddenly, Rano colpsed to the ground, bleeding heavily with several cuts all over his body.

  Alisa: Rano??? Rano????

  He didn’t respond to Alisa calling him.

  Alisa: RANO??? RANOOOOO?????
