The atmosphere that had been filled with warmth and a sense of family instantly turned into terror and fear when a group of people—who looked like bandits—arrived carrying weapons and demanded that we hand over our valuables.
Parents immediately shielded their children. Fear was clearly written on everyone's faces, especially the children's. Seeing them so frightened made my heart ache. It reminded me of Daisy. Even though this world is harsh, an experience like this would surely leave scars in their hearts—and I would not let their smiles disappear.
Among the merchants' group, although they were escorted by several adventurers, they were still outnumbered by the bandits. Meanwhile, in our group—the regular passengers—we had no guards. Aside from me, Rima, and Clive, there were only two men and one woman adventurer who happened to be riding in the passenger carriage.
"What should I do to them?" Clive asked.
Rima looked around before answering, "Disable them if you can."
