What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 961: Oh No, It's A Trap

Alright… So they've set the place on fire… And they're also waiting outside with a bunch of people in case we try to escape…

If we stay here, we'll get burned to death. If we try to leave we'll also get killed.

Seems like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place huh…

The travellers I just freed were all standing outside the cage looking at the smoke that was pouring in through the window with concern.

"Are we going to just get burned alive here?" One of them asked.

Another turned to , "Hey! You're going to rescue us right? We're going to get out of here alive, right?"

Well… Truth be told, both Katsuki and I should be able to get out of here by ourselves without dying but… To ensure the safety of these people while escaping might be a little difficult…

Since I already accepted the request to save them, I should just do my best to keep them alive I guess.

But now the problem of how I was supposed to do that when faced with this situation is staring right back at .

Do I just get them to hide here while I go out and deal with the bandits outside?

Actually, that sounds like a good idea…

I turned to the travellers who were now huddled around outside the cage looking fearfully around them.

"Hey… I'm going out to deal with the bandits first. Stay here until the coast is clear, ok?"

That seed to have made so of them panic as they quickly rushed towards .

I think they might have tried to grab but Katsuki appeared in the way before they could reach so they just stopped short of her.

"You're just running away, aren't you?!"

"You're going to leave us here to be burned alive?"

"Wait! There must be a lot of bandits outside right?! Give a weapon, I'll fight alongside you!"

I raised my hand to silence them, "I'm not running away, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to save you from the cage. I'll make sure to put out the fire before it gets too big. There's no need to, I can handle this myself."

Without waiting for them to respond, I dropped Bob who was still on my shoulder the entire ti on the ground before turning to Katsuki.

"Help take care of them, ok?"

She bowed her head, "Of course Mistress. Have a safe trip."

She said it like I was just heading out on a shopping trip or sothing…

Alright… Let's do this.

First I go over to the door, cover myself with [Shadow Wall] call up Zwei, then everything is set~

The door opened a crack and I could see that Katsuki was right about there being a horde of bandits waiting outside.

Now I understand when that other guy told the bandit to go inform the others, he was telling him to call them to prepare an ambush for . He never intended for to leave here alive it seems.

Hmph… I was expecting an ambush already so you can't say I got tricked, ok?

Right then, there were several thuds as a hail of arrows embedded themselves on to the doors of the warehouse, the bandits clearly having seen the door move and decided to attack.

I held my ground and waited but a second salvo never ca.

I then took that opportunity to shout out, "You agreed to let us out of here didn't you?!"

There was laughter coming from the crowd of bandits before one of them shouted back, "The agreent was to let you free them! If you want safe passage, we've got to make another agreent!"

Wait… Don't tell they arranged all this so that they can try and extort ?

Considering that they are bandits… That's actually possible…

Ugh… This is so annoying.

"What do you want then?" I shouted over the crackle of the flas.

"Co out first before we talk!"

"Won't you guys just shoot with arrows the mont I step outside?!"

"Ha! Only if you do anything stupid! Co on now, it's not like you have a choice, right?" Another bandit shouted, prompting laughter to ring out from the other side of the door.

They're definitely going to shoot the mont I step out…

I reconsidered what I should do before another voice ca from behind the door, "You have my word that we won't shoot you with arrows if you co out and negotiate. But you have to co out alone!"

The laughter instantly quietened down and the only sound I could hear was the fire still burning outside the building.

The fact that the laughter from the bandits was instantly silenced ant that whoever said that must have so kind of authority right?

Fuck it, let's just see how things go.

The door opened wider and my boots clacked against the ground to step out into the space in front of the warehouse.

Almost imdiately, the bandits beca rowdy again.

"Woooo~ She's a beauty!"

"She has a mask on, how can you even tell?"

"Who cares! Look at those tits and ass!"

"The maid uni--"

"Quiet!"

Once again, the crowd went silent and the person who shouted stepped forward, revealing themselves to be a large male Mahun wearing fur armour and wielding a giant double bladed axe that he was resting on his shoulder.

He lifted his chin at , "So you're the one who managed to sneak through this entire camp without anyone noticing huh?"

I nodded at him, "What's it to you?"

"Hmph… Guess we have to ramp up security more…"

"So what are the conditions for to leave here with those people you captured safely?"

"Hmph… You think you can really ask that question right now?"

"If you can give us safe passage out of here then there wouldn't need to be a fight."

He dug his ear with a finger before sneering at , "Oh what? You actually believed that? You're more dumb than I thought."

Before I could react, he swung his axe down and lightning shot out from the axe, striking in the chest and blowing back.

"Ha! Just die in regret bitch!"

Ahhhh… It huuurrts… Ahhhh… I'm dyingggg… Call an ambulance, call an ambulance…

But not for !

'I' stood up again, the hole in the chest where the lightning had struck rapidly closing up.

Then the body changed and the person who was standing there revealed themselves to be Zwei.

The bandits were still surprised by the sudden change before I stepped out from behind the door and closed it behind to ensure no one inside would be able to see what was about to happen out here.

"I didn't really want to do this and I even gave you all a chance, but I guess that's too--"

Arrows were loosed and the projectiles flew towards at blinding speeds, all of them aiming to kill.

The sound of arrows thudding could be heard and I let out a slight frown.

"That's rude… I was still talking, you know?" I comnted, peeking out from behind Zweis who had moved right in front of to conjure a light shield to protect .

Fine then, since all of you are going to be rude assholes, then you can't complain about what I'm about to do next…

I clapped my hands together and all the Shadow Guards that I had been dropping off around the camp while that guy led here jumped out of their hiding places to surround the bandits.

Several of them who had been hiding nearby imdiately doused the flas with their Hydromancy, completely putting out the fire that was burning the building.

Yep, I already said I suspected an ambush, right? So when the guy was leading here, I had been secretly getting my Shadow Guards to leave my shadow and hide around the fort, waiting for to spring this trap on them.

In fact, the Bob inside the warehouse behind isn't even the real Bob since I thought he might try to take him hostage and force to surrender or sothing.

That's why I had swapped him out with Eins using Somatomancy to transform into him so I had been carrying Eins on my shoulder the entire ti.

The real Bob is still sowhere in the vicinity of that large house where I found him, his person being guarded by a few of my Shadow Guards so there was no chance he could be used against .

Hey, I still need him to teach Kalomancy too ok?

And now… Since these people know that I have this ability to call up Shadow Guards… I'm afraid I won't be letting any of you leave here alive to tell anyone~

So how about all of you do a favour and just die, hmm?

I raised my hand and all of my Shadow Guards tensed up.

"Kill them all."

We charged in.
