She encountered something else on the way

A few days after she left her village, Samui is now walking on a road in a middle of the forest. So far, she encounters nothing troublesome. But then, the peaceful moment is vanished when she heard a scream for help from her left. Unable to ignore it, she decided to go into the forest on her left and investigate.

Soon, she spots a river in front of her. There, she sees a group of six men in dressed like bandits and a young man in a long dark blue coat, red velvet hat, black shirt and grey pants, who looks either like a scholar or a merchant on the riverbank. And from what she can see, those six men are taking the young man's belongings from him by threatening him.

"I gave you all of my goods! Please, don't take my family's ring!" The young man said in despair, pleaing them not to take an amethyst ring from him. However, they don't seem to care and punch him in the face, knocking him down and taking it from him anyway.

"We're not asking, you wimp! We're taking it!" The bandits' leader said as he's looking at the ring he just taken from his victim in his right hand. Upon seeing such an action and hearing such words, Samui begins to get angry althought she displays it by just narrowing her eyes. Decided to help the young man, she jumps out from behind of the tree she's hiding, taking her tanto, still unsheathed, out, and hit the leader of the bandits in the face, knocking him down to the ground.

"Ganging up on a defenseless man? Not cool." She said with an emotionless face as everyone turned to look at her, surprise by her sudden appearance.

"You'll pay for that! Take her!" The bandits' leader and all of his men quickly pull ou their weapons. Two of them have katana, the other two have clubs, and the last one has pair of nunchaku. As for the leader, he has a katana just like his two of his henchmen. Then, all five bandits quickly run toward to her to harm her. However, she dropped a smoke bomb and disappeared, confusing them. Under the cover of the smoke, she easily takes down each of them and she doesn't even needed to pull the blade out from its sheath. With all of his men defeated, the bandits' leader quickly takes the young man as his hostage. Only when the smoke is cleared, she finally gets to see what is going on.

"You either let me go or else, this guy's throat here will be sliced!" The bandits' leader said as he's sweating and his entire body is shaking with fear. Distracted by fear toward Samui, the young man seized the chance and step on the left foot of the one who's holding himself as a hostage, making him scream and let him go.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" The bandits' leader screamed and fall down to the ground with his eyes shut. Wasting no more time, Samui quickly runs toward him and kick him in the face very hard, knocking him out cold like the rest of his men. Once the bandits' leader is defeated, she walks toward to the young man and offer him a hand.

"Are you okay, sir?" Samui asked as she's looking down to the young man, who's still sitting on the ground and looking at her with widen eyes. Unbeknownst to her, the young man she saved has just fallen in love with her wile also secretly staring at her large breasts.
