All right belong to respecitive owner. The translation is mine. If you plan to use it please credit me. It is pretty liberal however, and my writting skill may be crappy at best. Also I am a bit doubtful about the romaji, if you find any error please point out for me.</div>

Translation for Manowa will continue (hopefully) in Nineth blog and Vampire Princess will return fully to your highness Madospicy-sama.<br />
I won't delete this blog (since some translation is still here after all...) I just want to make clear that there will be no further release from me.<br />
<br />
I guess that's all.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Beasts’ Shrine Maiden</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">==</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Midnight, at the wasteland with nothing but blowing wind and the sound of howling beast, a young girl walked with a pure white parasol.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She seems to be in the first half of her teens, her long hair was black as night and tied up as if it was a bundle of silk. Even in the dark, it seemed to be shining. She had lustrous pure white skin without impurities, as if it was made by melting the moonlight. With the addition of her sparkling—inlaid garnet-like eyes, she was a girl so beautiful that you might mistake her as work of art.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Her dress was also a splendid article which suited her. A sleeveless dress with black as its basis—with square type decolletee and luxurious skirt with a lot of drapes—along with a rose corsage. Her headdress, white stocking, and even her black pumps also were highlighted with roses.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even so, the figure that would be showered with attention in high class society, at this time and place can only be said to be bizarre. By some chance if someone saw her, after being released from her charm they might be frightened, thinking it may be ghost or monster and run away at full speed while praying non-stop.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s that kind of impossible spectacle.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, certainly, only night burglars or monsters will appear in this kind of place at the dead night.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I let out a sigh as I looked at the scenery, a rugged rocky area and wasteland.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Or rather, as a beastkin base, I thought there would be more flowers and plants, fresh and green with clear rivers or a pond.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Princess, this place is too rural…or to be precise its appearance is miserable.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">From inside my chest area—integrated with “Pet Unification”, Utsuho lamented.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, that’s true. In the first place, this country—Kingdom Cres is where the beastkin ran away to after losing against humans.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Though ups and downs in life are common occurrences, this beast follower is really disappointing. If they lost their guts just because of this, perhaps it’s better that I—as a divine beast deal with them personally as a form of compassion.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Utsuho muttered something dangerous with a vexed tone.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">……Hmm. This time the one I brought to their stronghold is the Nine Tailed Fox (Utsuho) which is equal to God for them, but perhaps it’s the wrong decision.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If “The Successor of the Beastking” which I will meet after this is a coward or a big-mouth, it’s possible that today will become the last day of the beastkin tribe…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Uugh… though the Beast King wrote me a letter of introduction, I feel like I’m entering a friendly troop encampment while carrying a bomb with a lit fuse.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, from under my feet, the shadow—which should be thin like the one made from the moonlight, yet in reality was deep black even in this dark night— had wriggled.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hm? Ah, it seems we arrived.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Human eyes might not be able to see it, but I can see it clearly with my eyes; a fence and moat which was made on the horizon, and the smoke from cooking that flowed from ten-odd tents.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It should be the “successor” I heard from Beast King, the moving village of the lion tribe.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well then, you never know what will happen…”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I slightly increased my walking pace.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">***</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I thought there would be some dispute, but when I gave them the letter of introduction from the Beast King and said my name, they quickly guided me to the biggest tent, and let me sit at the first rank seat of honour with red carpet spread out leading to it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inside the tent which was illuminated with a bright red bonfire, in front of me who actually—though they couldn’t be seen because of my skirt—was sitting in bad manner ‘wariza’(alias…women sitting posture. Though the name is like that, it’s comfortable since it won’t make my legs numb!). A girl with chestnut coloured short-cut hair, she was a cheerful girl with big eyes who looked like a 13-14 year old, and a nervous old man around 60 years old with white hair, prostrated before me. They have lion ears on their heads.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(TL notes: If you don’t understand, Hiyuki is still thinking to preserve her dignity as a man—that’s the reason she put the reasoning about a ‘woman’s sitting posture’)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By the way, what they wore is something like an Ainu native dress.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It had a colourful embroidery and appliqué, a short robe with a front overlap like Japanese clothes and was pinned with a thin sash. They wore easy to move in trousers and boots from animal leather.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though the girl’s basic tone is white and red while the old man is a more inconspicuous dark green, it seems there’s not much disparity between men and women.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, the girl raised her head.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Because what appeared in front of me was a doll-like face which usually appeared in shop windows, I quickly corrected my sitting posture as if nothing had happened.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Pleased to meet you.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing that introduction I was unconsciously taken aback.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--the hell!? Wife!! Formal foster brother and sister marriage she said~~~!!! Unforgivable. I will behead that eroge bastard!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At once, my favourable impression towards the beast king successor—Revan she said?—has been reduced by 200 points before I even met him. Moreover, the love rival is 5 to 6… alright, it’s war!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, the old man raised his head, and after clearing his throat lightly, he glared at Asmina to his side.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—Asmina-sama, your joke is too much.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though Asmina tried to avoid his gaze, perhaps because of the pressure, she once again faced me and bowed her head.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…My apologies.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She corrected it embarrassedly.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What’s with this girl. Is she really a shrine maiden? Isn’t she too free spirited?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“My apologies your majesty. I am Jisis, counsellor of Nu Gruv tribe. We feel endless gratitude for your majesty to come from far to visit us.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The old man—Jisis bowed his head deeply once again.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

More than that, I thought it was written in the introduction letter, but, can I meet the ‘Successor of the Beast King’?”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing my words, the two of them seemed troubled and exchanged glances.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Actually… it’s embarrassing to say but Revan-sama right now is not in the village, he lives alone in the sacred mountain near here…”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Eh, then this visit is meaningless?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps because it showed on my face or it was the shrine maiden’s intuition, without a shred of hesitation, Asmina made a proposal.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Then, since I’m about to do my daily duty of sending supper and tomorrow’s breakfast to brother (foster brother) I can pass on a message… or if it’s urgent, we can come together?”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hm… Since I’ll be bored if I wait, is it fine for me to go together?”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Yes, with pleasure. –Then, I’ll make preparations in due haste.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Looking at Asmina’s back as she stood up excitedly, I unconsciously said this,</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—even so, since you said it’s your daily duty, did you go deep into the mountains every day? It seems tough.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That’s not true.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Asmina turned back and showed a carefree smile like a sunflower.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My first impression of her is that she’s a weird child, but perhaps I needed to amend that.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She’s a good child who cares about her brother.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But, Asmina added still with smile in her face.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Since it’s common sense to continuously feed animals which are still not quite attached to you.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yup, I didn’t hear anything.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">***</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As I am chatting with Jisis in front of the tent while waiting,</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I am sorry to keep you waiting.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Asmina with a little basket which seemed like it was plaited with strings like plants in her back, had returned.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I thought surely the guard would come together with her, but it appears she goes alone, I feel a bit worried.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Is it fine really fine for a girl to walk alone at night?”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It’s fine, I’m used to it. Moreover, for the Nu Gurv tribe, this level of darkness doesn’t pose any problems.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She said that and blinked, in the very dim light her eyes glittered with a golden colour.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I see, so it’s a structure like that of a nocturnal animal that allows their eyes to gather light and amplify it. Then, though it’s not as good as mine, a journey at night won’t pose a problem.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Urged by Asmina, the sacred beast (Hari), after shouting with maximum vigilance “HIHI!! –kyuu…….” It opened its eyes wide and showed its belly, playing dead.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…what a rude animal.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The confused Asmina grabbed its tail and let it dangle in the air.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then after it didn’t bulge from feigning dead after she poked and tickled it, she stowed Hari (sacred beast) back at her chest.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Since its condition seems bad today, please allow it to greet your majesty later.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though she said it with an excellent smiling face, there were some inappropriate words mixed in. Jisis who was standing at the side coughed—clearing his throat.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Other that Utsuho who became one with me through pet unification, there’s also Kokuyou who hid below my feet with shadow movement, additionally standing by high in the sky is Izumo the Azazel, who among the thirteen generals has attack power comparable to Ikaruga. Furthermore, the flying garden itself was also following in the distant sky.</span></span></div>

What I know for now is that they're 'milk sibling' and has no blood relation at all. I'm confused what to use... 'step' sibling sound like their parents were married, and 'in law' sound like their brother/sister married. While foster can be used, I don't think any of them were 'adopted', they're simply 'milk sibling'. If you have better suggestion, let me know. I'll let this term open for now.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Gaijin’s eyes shone. By the way, Yggdrasil is a paid gacha prize. After I planted 5 or 6 of them, before I noticed it had changed into a forest with giant trees that would make your eyes pop out. It became something similar to sacred grounds for plant type monsters or high elves.</span></div>

If it became a place for confessions, I honestly will become angry.</span></div>

At any rate the one at fault is that beastman bastard anyway, and I who accepted the escort request, yet was unable to protect you is the one who is at fault the most.”</span></div>

We are the jack of all trades, we must think of the safety of our client as our main priority and use ANY methods—not only fighting, to protect them. You can make use of advantageous terrain to run around, or quickly inform us about it.””</span></div>

Ah, this is also the second request that I can’t fulfil in the end, he laughed in carefree manner.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

You can treat it as if I am your close male friend, or someone you hate—or just thinking that the one in front of you is that Animaru and hit as hard as you can.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I threw my gaze around the room he’s staying in. It’s different from the cheap inns on the outskirts that he stayed at when he was an F rank. This place is akin to lower-middle class stuff. The room is bigger, there’s even a desk and chair (where I am sitting right now), and also a wardrobe to keep equipment.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The bed is also fairly nice, there’s a side chest beside it and that’s where my get well gift was: a bouquet of roses which was put in a vase and decorated this place (the landlady not only lent the vase, she even arranged it for me).</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, when I saw the tableware with leftover food beside it, I tilted my head in puzzlement.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“You don’t have an appetite? There’s still around half left.”</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That dizziness is caused by lack of blood. That’s because even though your stamina is back the blood is still lost.”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hmmm, since he lacks blood—then food which can increase his blood is necessary. To make blood you need protein, then that would mean meat. Other things are dairy products, something like cheese. Vegetables are also good for blood vessels, for quick energy recovery then it’s grains or oil, also sugar. Then, “that” might be good. It’s easy to eat too.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Joey looked at Hiyuki with meaningful glance, but Hiyuki who didn’t notice it frowned and tilted her head a little,</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Against Animaru’s strong movements akin to a gale, the Beast King responded with soft movements with a combination of defensive body movements and feints.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Changing places until it made those who saw them dizzy, exchanging blow with their hands and feet, then they distanced themselves once again.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Neither one of them was stopping. Toward those movements that looked like a dance on top of water, Joey involuntarily raised his voice in admiration.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, perhaps because of hearing that voice or perhaps because the abnormal status from Stand Blow that Animaru used had worn out, Hiyuki, who was unconscious in Joey’s protection, let out a little moan, ‘nn..’ and slowly opened her eyes.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hiyuki! Are you awake!? Are you hurt somewhere? Do you feel any pain?”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps because she wasn’t fully conscious, Hiyuki gazed at Joey, who called her with a visibly joyful expression, with absentminded look. However,</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“--!?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Suddenly her expression changed, and in the next moment as if she was experiencing a fit. She bent backwards once, and then, as if enduring something she curled up her body. In that instant, her black hair flowing about, and her now bare back trembled repeatedly.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Wh-what happened Hiyuki?! Is it painful!?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Despite being flustered and calling to Hiyuki in worry, Joey’s ears still heard Hiyuki’s small, broken, but urgent, impatient and desperate mutter.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“……ru…run……can’t..push it..down……Joey, get aw..ay……from me…quickly……”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Because of her hair and because she was facing down, Joey couldn’t see how Hiyuki’s pupils became more and more fiery and reddish, and how two long canines peeked out from her lips.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mustering the last of her willpower she opened her storage space, but at the time she successfully took out a potion bottle from her storage, Hiyuki’s consciousness was dyed with a deep crimson colour.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">***</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When he thought he finally grasped him with his right hand, suddenly the heaven and earth reversed, and even while rotating he was slapped to the ground. Even when sparks were flying about deep in his eyes and his consciousness turned disorderly, he instinctively jumped back while at the same time thunder-foot stepping at the place where his head was.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The ground was gouged out as if hit by a hammer and debris scattered around—and mixed among that was an assassination device in the shape of metal nail, which was thrown and stabbed Animaru’s defenceless left eye.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Gaaaaaaaaahh!!!”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Beast King only gazed with uninterested eyes at Animaru who pressed his left eye and screamed.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—Oh. You seem fine. I thought it stabbed through your brain.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Beast King slowly advanced.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even against Animaru’s fist warrior skill “Spirit Decapitation (Bash)”, he dealt with it calmly.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Animaru, who took out the assassination device from his left eye with all his power, had blood flowing endlessly from it. Madness appeared in his remaining right eye, and he glared at the Beast King with a gruesome expression.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Old man!! Die Die Die! I will kill you for SURE!!”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“If you still have a hand to play with then you should use it right here right now.”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Beast King answered him mockingly, Animaru’s eye turned round as he looked past the Beast King.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In an instant, looking at Animaru’s eyes that looked so surprised that he forgot the pain and anger he felt. There was a sinister sound of slurping something sticky from his back, the Beast King turned to look behind while keeping his vigilance.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hiyuki was standing there.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Despite her figure being tattered into nothing even though she was collapsing right now, she stood on her own feet steadily.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Because her long black hair was covering her face, her expression couldn’t be seen. However she held Joey on by his neck with her mouth. Joey was now beyond pale-white as if he was paper.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Looking at Joey whose status was uncertain, had limbs thrown down like a doll, unmoving—not even showing a twitch, the Beast King’s expression turned even more severe.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Damn! I wasted too much time on this old man. Vampire Princess’ Maddening…no, even Fencer’s Berserk too. –damn, I can’t read through her status!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Looking at Hiyuki’s figure who was clad in a red-black aura, Animaru who understood the situation spat curses.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Fencer’s Berserk was a Fencer skill which activated when your HP hit 10%; Berserk—in exchange for a tremendous increase in status players lose the ability to differentiate between friend or foe, and become a mad fencer until they die or a certain amount time has passed.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Vampire Princess Maddening—it’s a special trait of the vampire princess race which activates when they don’t consume blood for a certain amount of time or when they face life threatening conditions. It will erase one’s owns conscience, release their power limiter, and make them become a lump of self defence instinct, and attack anyone around them indiscriminately.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“But I’ve never heard of the two being activated at the same time…”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the first place, among the users with the rare race vampire (princess), somebody who took fencer as their job would be perhaps only Hiyuki.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And as far as Animaru remembered, Hiyuki never experienced either maddening or berserk.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(It’s either because her HP never reached that low or because of her paper armor so she met instant death)</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Either way, I won’t be able to stop it.”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At that time, the Beast King stopped caring about Animaru and ran toward Hiyuki.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Stop!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Facing the Beast King that tried to stop her, Hiyuki casually threw Joey who was in her mouth with the power of her jaw and neck.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The body of that boy flew like a cannonball,</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—Kuh!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Beast King who caught him with his whole body was unable to stop its momentum, even with his large build. He was pushed back 1 meter, making a trench in his wake.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At the same time, bam!! Together with her step which shook the ground, Hiyuki flew forward. At the place where the land exploded there appeared an earth pillar.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Animaru looked around restlessly. Even though he surveyed his surroundings he couldn’t find Hiyuki’s figure. Where is—at that moment, he fell the violent thirst of blood from above and looked up.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--there!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">She dgg all of her fingers into a crumbling house’s wall, and stopped there like a spider.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As Animaru gasped at that scene, the wall exploded and Hiyuki’s figure disappeared once again.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No--when he noticed she was already right above his head. Her tattered skirt fluttered and her right heel approached him.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Animaru parried it right away by crossing both his hands. As expected of a top ranker in Eternal Horizon Online (EHO), despite her unbelievable speed Animaru was still capable of responding.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hiyuki was barefooted, on other side Animaru was equipped with Fist Warrior level 99 exclusive equipment, a back hand and wrist cover “Kanshou” which has been reinforced 9 times. With those absurd differences, there’s no way his defence would be breached. At the same time that he stopped her kick, Animaru will force her back using the Fist Warrior skill “Knockback”.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That was what he believed, however in the next second, at the same time the violent impact stopped, his face was already struck into the ground.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…Wha…what?!......What the meaning of this……?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He spit out earth and mud in his mouth together with his broken tooth and fang. (TL: I can’t imagine it…)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Using his one eye, Animaru looked at his own two hands. The back hand and wrist cover “Kanshou” were deforme—not. Then how was he was thrown to the ground?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When he wanted to get up, he noticed he couldn’t move his hand. Then at that time he noticed the reason he was defeated. Both of his hands’ muscles were entirely ruptured, moreover peeking out through his skin from the inside were his broken bones.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Certainly “Kanshou” successfully defended against Hiyuki’s attack. However, his own two hands themselves failed to stopped the impact and his two hands’ bones, flesh, and joints all were smashed apart.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In short, he simply lost in term of strength.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In Animaru’s mind which was filled with shock, his conversation with the man who named himself the Beast King resurfaced.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Your fighting style is just pushing down your opponent through overwhelming power.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes, that’s right. He always fights that way. No, to be precise </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">he has no other mean to fight</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. That’s the way of life he was forced into. And this was the result. However, there’s no other way, since I am…</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Animaru’s hair was caught casually, and lifted up like a balloon.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In front of him right now were Hiyuki’s eyes that had a flaming scarlet radiance, and pure white fangs.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though he came up with the plan to eat her, he became the one who was eaten. How ironic.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well that’s fine too, as long as it’s not in the hand of “that guy”, you may as well end this shitty life of mine— while feeling strangely relieved and fulfilled in the depth of his quickly disappearing consciousness, he closed his remaining eye.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though the young boy (Joey) who he caught was still barely alive, he had lost too much blood.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though the Beast King tried to apply his ki to help Joey—whose body was so cold it would make you shudder—to recover, since Joey’s basic life force itself was not enough, it was futile.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That would also mean the pill and medical plants he possessed right now also wouldn’t do anything. Is there something I can do?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While desperately hoping for some sort of miracle the Beast King looked around him, and there in the place where the young girl stood before he saw a glass like bottle lying around.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps it’s medicine?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He moved to it while holding Joey, and quickly picked it up, opened the lid of the bottle, and smelled the scent.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Odorless.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And there’s nothing written on the bottle. A light yellow liquid that could be either poison or medicine, but he felt it was similar to a potion (wonder drug) made by an alchemist.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“……either way he’ll certainly die at this rate. Then, I can only bet on this.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Resolving himself, the Beast King gulped the liquid inside the bottle at once and fed it mouth to mouth to the unconscious Joey.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The effect was—dramatically effective. Joey’s skin which was pale until now turned healthy red, his body temperature, pulse rate, and breath all returned to normal and even his face which showed the shadow of death turned calm as if he was just taking a nap.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Sluurp--!” The Beast King who just let a sigh of relief, suddenly heard that disgusting slurping sound once again.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As he raised his head to look at the source in surprise, Animaru who was fighting until a while ago was completely defeated. Hiyuki’s fangs were digging into his throat and right now she was sucking his blood to the very last drop.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As if throwing away an empty can of juice, Hiyuki threw Animaru, whose life has already died out. Then with her unfocused pupils she looked at the Beast King.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--she’s coming!?</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Beast King quickly put Joey down and readied himself, yet Hiyuki’s mood suddenly turned calm as if the madness condition she had before was a lie. She stopped motionless at that place for awhile—but in the next moment, as if she was a puppet with her strings cut, she lost consciousness and tumbled down where she was standing.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It seems he successfully avoided battle. As he judged the situation that way, his shoulders relaxed.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At the same time, he could feel the presence of guards who ran towards them in haste, he let out a tired sigh.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">***</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At the uppermost floor of the “Blue Divine Tower”, the man with blue hair and bronze scaled skin who read the report, took a glance toward a crystal ball among many. Inside those crystal balls were specks of black and gold—which lined up near the wall which produced a ‘Pariin’ sound as it broke, and he snorted in disdain.</span></div>

All parts of my body were riddled with lacerations and the wet feeling spread out under my light leather armour.</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The dumbfounded Joey stood while keeping his posture of swinging the sword downward.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Before anyone noticed, in front of him he saw someone’s back stand tall like a wall.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That man—or perhaps I should say old man—wore dark blue robes, his height was more than 2m and he had white hair. His severe looking face was decorated with a white bread, a therianthrope who could only be described as a lion. He looked at Animaru with a dangerous glint in his eyes, and handed over Hiyuki—who he took from Animaru who knows when—to Joey gently.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hmph, that kind slow attack wo---GAAHHH!?!”</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Though his face smashed into the ground and even bouncing back, through his endurance and stamina, he quickly got up and put distance between that old man.</span></div>

At that time, the old man unknowingly appeared in his blind spot—the flank, and drove a kick toward Animaru’s pivotal leg, then smashed his unprotected temple with his elbow with all his might.</span></div>

The reason it always worked till now is perhaps because you fight in conditions where it’s convenient for you, or because you only harassed those who were weaker than you. Because you never experienced a fight against someone stronger or a fight where you risk your life, when you confront someone stronger than you, you don’t know how you should fight. In short, you have no creativity in fighting. Am I right?”</span></div>

On the contrary, when he talked with Hiyuki before about the lost coins and Lost Era that topic also come up.</span></div>

However since there’s a patch between Imperial Crimson and Amitia, other than not being able to fly and land near the main city, if he forcefully breaks it, it’s almost like smearing mud in the Princess’s face.</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On the same day, in the imperial capital of Caldia there was a sudden revolt which resulted in the execution of royalties and nobles. As a matter of fact, Amitia Kingdom actually already collapsed from that, however, with the victorious country—Imperial Crimson—backing, the free city of Arra plus the adventurers guild and merchant guild which quickly received domestic approval, the revolt was suppressed successfully.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In three days, peace had returned to the country.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Before long, to fill the empty position of King, the previous adventurer guild leader of the free city Arra, Collard Joculator Aldenant was named as a temporary king. The state name was revised to the Republic of Amitia.</span></div>

(Though the current King—Collard explained to those who were close to him that ‘this is revenge to the Imperial Kingdom Sovereign’)</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">==</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At the beginning of battle, the enemies’ monsters let out an attack with unbelievable power and a large scale magic attack that destroyed the spirit of the Lords Alliance. However, since the next attack didn’t come after that, they began to believe that those attacks can’t be used continuously; a kind of power only gunshot and one time only firework.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--Well, if they ask the people themselves, Kurashi (gunshot) and Ikaruga (firework), they will gladly answer the request by firing it in rapid fire. Still, right now they’re busy drinking alcohol while gazing at the battlefield, cheering, resenting, and commenting with a self satisfied look—they’re very busy.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, as if complementing them, the monsters that had been standing by in the Acquira Plateau for the past few days started to move while giving a battle cry.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, looking at that, the Lords Alliance’s commander judged that their enemy had used up its trump card then moved to conventional melee. With that they suddenly they feel their spirit come back, and see their chance at victory.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The remaining military strength of Amitia Kingdom was over 28,000, while the enemy monsters only had 10,000.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In this world, fighting monster 3vs1 is possible theory-wise. Thus according that, they have equal war potential. However, different from personal battle, the effect of difference in numbers will rise exponentially in a group battle.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">““We can win!!””</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Every lord believed in that and first ordered the volunteer soldiers that were divided and placed under their command to the front line, thus preserving their own pieces.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even though their numbers were overwhelming, they weren’t better than any amateur—well, from the lords’ perspectives letting them who supported the third prince who was a traitor and had a high possibility to rebel to die together with enemy is a justified action—they held crude weapons and wore crude defensive armaments. Even if they desperately stood their ground against the surging wave of enemy monsters, they were mowed down by the Troll Warriors, and sent flying by the surging charge of the Goblin Raiders.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Those terrifying free for all fights, slowly became an agonizing painting of hell that will ruin your eyes.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In those chaotic and confusing states, the Lords Alliance’s regular army which was standing by and waiting for an opportunity poured down a violent rain of arrows. Additionally, the magician corps was also firing numerous ice arrows which bore holes on whoever was in the way disregarding if it was friend or foe.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moreover, as a finishing move the cavalry charged and exhausted the enemy army, then the infantry that came afterwards exterminated the survivors—that kind of scene can be found everywhere in this battlefield.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The match is decided! After all they are just inferior beasts, no matter how much they gather it won’t be a problem!</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Believing in their victory, complacent smiles floated in the faces of Lords allied forces’ commanders. However the enemy’s persistence which was out of their expectations and their own forces started dwindling together with the passage of time, making them begin to feel agitated and frown. Before long, cold sweat started to flow like water.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What is this?! Where are they coming from!? Moreover, their fighting spirit hasn’t declined. As if they know no death!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, the needle of the scale started to wane away from the favour of the Amitia soldiers, as time passed it slowly inclined toward Imperial Crimson’s side, until it was impossible to reverse.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is Sir Carlos’s story.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well, not that I care, but this is a supplement for the original story.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">==</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My real name is Giancarlo Ericco Bertoni.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even though the house of Bertoni is a noble house, as a lower class baron, actually it is impossible for me to serve near his highness. However when my father was young he served the current king as an imperial guard and built a friendship that crossed social statuses, or so I heard.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Me and his highness? Well, I don’t know. In the end, I am nothing more than his highness’s loyal retainer.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Because of the relation my father had, my mother who had just given birth to me, became the wet nurse of his highness who was also born soon after me.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well, there are wet nurses other than my mother, but somehow his highness hated the other wet nurses—perhaps his picky taste of women was something he was born with.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…To be honest, actually I also have never seen any woman who is more beautiful than her highness Hiyuki, so I kind of understand why his highness fell into a daze.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even so, my mother didn’t neglect me when I was born and only focus on his highness all day.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…That’s right, the reason was my mother was originally a commoner. If it was some other noble wife then I think they might have ignored their own child for his highness.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As a result, even before I was aware of anything I had been raised together with his highness in the royal palace.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Like a real brother? No, when I started to understand things we received warnings, they emphasized about how both of us should know our own positions. That’s why I don’t have any intention of being more intimate than necessary.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To begin with, I have other real siblings, though we don’t meddle in each others’ business. In reality, whether you’re born as a noble or commoner, it’s all the same; there’s already a clear difference between the eldest son, second son, and third son. (TL: if you don’t know, Carlos is the third son)</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--right, just what you expected. When it comes to his highness, he’s unconcerned about that stuff, ignoring warnings from his surroundings, and he always brought me along wherever he went.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s right. If I had to say, because of either of his highness’s generosity as a virtuous person or his thick headedness, I indeed also enjoyed myself.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And with that I was treated as his highness’s playmate or to be blunt his highness’s ‘toy’. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That duty changed when his highness turned 11 years old. Yup, after the attack by the assassins.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When I was 7 I also attended a children’s school, thus I lost the chance to meet with his highness as frequently as before. However, a few days after the attack, my father and I were called in front his Majesty the king and began to have secret discussions. I become his highness’s chamberlain and had to keep an eye on all of his highness’s actions and report on every detail.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps His Majesty the king is the first one in the royal palace who felt dread toward his highness who, despite being only 11 years old, was able to fight back and even kill 8 skilled assassins.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, since his highness lets his guard down by me, His majesty the king ordered me to become ‘the bell on cat’s neck’ (TL: advance warning device).</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes, of course I can’t refuse. Just like the order said, I reported everything that happened on that day in a detailed document.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…His highness? Well, I wonder. He should understand to some degree the reason I became his chamberlain, but he felt happy in all honesty.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well we can be together!” he said, and laugh happily.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since then, every day was a hectic day.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I was even forced to play adventurer with his highness—right, even I had C rank qualification.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No no, that’s preposterous . Half of it is the result of taking care of his highness’s leftovers.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since when it comes to his highness, in a mere two years, he reached S rank. That rank belonged to only 50 other people in this continent.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No, I didn’t feel envious at all.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Quite the opposite, I felt proud, to be able walk together with such a magnificent person.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For me, his highness’s existence is like an unreachable dream that I don’t dare feel envious about.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even so, during the period of his association with commoners, before anyone noticed, the disparity of wealth and difference in classes casted a harmful effect on his highness. He didn’t show it on the surface, he should have felt ashamed in his heart—then in this world there are some who can “smell” that kind of thing.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With skilful words they got close with his highness, and started to give him impossible ideals… Yes, that’s right, if that ideal really was so splendid then they should try work hard by themselves.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I tried to separate his highness from them, however the ideal that took root in his heart was deeper than I expected and was eating away at his highness’s mind. He even managed to meet with them outside of my watch…</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Around that time, the royal palace’s side felt the impending crisis, and ordered me to gather even more secretive information.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Reluctantly, I pretended to sympathize toward his highness’s ideal and work together with him.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And with the information I gathered, I reported on every detail of their organization, their hideout, even the number of people. I dare say they are being rounded up as I speak.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…Yes, I don’t feel anything special. Since in the beginning it was an impossible dream, and in the very end they are a group that tempted his highness for their own benefit.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then one last order I received is, if his highness meddled with politics, I should end his highness’s life with my own hands.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I said that I didn’t feel any hesitation then that would be a lie. To you tell the truth I thought that wouldn’t happen. I thought that enthusiasm was temporary, and since his highness was intelligence, he will come to understand reality.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However his highness pushed forward with his political campaign, and even made a deal with the monster country.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The royal palace fell into a panic.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, when they fell behind, their meeting was decided—I never thought that her highness Hiyuki was that free spirited—and the urgent order I received is, if His highness continued to attract foreign threats, kill him, something like that.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I kept worrying while looking at his highness’s defenceless back.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Must I, with this hand, end my own lord’s life?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That very person who bows his head to protect me, and calls me his ‘best friend’. My feeling of wanting to confess everything and ask for his forgiveness was erupting.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I am a man who don’t deserve those words! Please punish me with your own hands!”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Clinging to his feet while begging like that might have been better.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…however, I can’t. My failure would bring the Bertoni family disgrace.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s right, by sacrificing Angelica-sama’s life, I would show his highness the difference between his ideal and reality. Also, it would show his highness how the citizens he tried to protect, might steal away the ones he loved the most.</span></div>

Those people, as long you gave them a justifiable cause saying ‘it is the correct thing to do’, no matter what kind of inhuman thing it is, they will do it without hesitation.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even with that incident, his highness didn’t give up on advancing…</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This is the result.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With an uninterested expression, Hiyuki who wore a pagoda sleeve which emphasized red rather than black and sat on the chair usually used by Prince Ashyl, verified that Sir Carlos was finished.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Prince Ashyl’s private room had his corpse enshrined in the middle and was arranged to be brought into the royal family’s graveyard tomorrow under the holy temple great priest’s witness.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tonight is the night the chamberlain ought to say parting words, alone beside the corpse. While looking at its face without getting any sleep, suddenly the night wind stirred the lace of the curtain. Then he noticed, standing under the wide open window, was a girl with a face so beautiful it was as if it was the incarnation of the moon itself…Rather than be surprised, what he felt was relief, and he expressed what was inside his heart as he was being asked.</span></div>

Your highness Hiyuki, do you want to punish me?”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></div>

I am the source, that’s why I think it’s enough of a reason to punish me.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Carlos once again brought that up with an unusually frantic expression.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, it’s not like you personally arranged it right?

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Meanwhile Hiyuki moved from her seat and walked toward the coffin with rose decorations and peered toward dead prince Ashyl’s face.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He faithfully stood, walked to the wall, and then turned his back.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Confirming that Carlos wouldn’t be able to see what she was doing, she gently moved her face closer to his highness.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Carlos heard a voice slightly tinged with moisture –then after a few breaths he can feel Hiyuki return to her previous position.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—well, something like this I guess.

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Will you return now?”</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…do you really not want to punish me?

I just want to know why the bypass I left with the prince suddenly got cut off. Though, letting you carry those burdens for the rest of your life is already a painful punishment right?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“……”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then Hiyuki suddenly shrugged her shoulders.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well if your luck is good, soon someone with the qualifications to give you a punishment might visit you.”</span></div>

Currently it’s only a 30% chance though, the rest is... perhaps you should pray to your God for the rest.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Leaving the confused Carlos behind, Hiyuki advanced toward the window.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Even so, you guys are indeed similar.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—hah?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“While facing adversity or wanting to kill yourself, you guys try to borrow somebody else’s hands. Though you said you guys aren’t friends, perhaps this is what is called being of ‘the same feather’.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing that, Carlos became dumbfounded and opened his eyes wide.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then by the time he realized it, Hiyuki’s figure had already disappeared like an illusion.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Friend…”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">TL: I am too lazy to translate author’s notes so I’ll make a simple summary: For vampire transformations, the ‘parent’ needs to pour a fixed amount of their blood into the target.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The dispute between Imperial Crimson and Amitia Kingdom was decided one sidedly by the upper echelon of Amitia Kingdom, ignoring processes of mutual criticism, followed up negotiations, behind the scenes negotiations, meetings between the concerned parties, or meeting to reach a resolution. It ended up becoming an all out war in areas connected to Kingdom, the Aquira Plateau—or to be more precise, they don’t have any other options.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And against that declaration of war—according to their official announcement their reason to declare war is because Imperial Crimson had sent an assassin to end the life of the third prince, Ashyl Cloud Amitia. It’s something that is substantial enough to proclaim war—our response is,</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“If you really want war then we will gladly accept. We will wait patiently until you guys finish your preparations, so anyone who wants to die, come forth.”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s the response of Imperial Crimson’s queen—Actually there’s someone who wanted to bridge the gap between the two concerned parties, Arra City’s guild leader, Collard. He gave a runabout letter that was full of decorative words but—it all ended without negotiations and proceeded to all out war.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Toward that response that ignored international common sense, even Amitia Kingdom can’t hide their bewilderment. However, before long at the adjacent Aquira Plateau, a myriad of monsters appeared as if they were falling from the sky. It’s plain to see that they’re under Imperial Crimson command, thus making them understand that the queen of Imperial Crimson’s words were not exaggerations. And to defeat them, they hurriedly gathered the forces inside their own country—while the Imperial Crimson’s side kept their word “We will wait patiently until you guys finish your preparations.” They didn’t make any attacks nor did any looting, but just patiently stood by—and finally the kingdom gathered forces several times greater than their opponent.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Divine punishment towards monsters that killed Prince Ashyl Cloud!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There is an atmosphere that lacks tension, which is unbecoming of the decisive war (from Amitia Kingdom perspective though).—Since a while ago, they kept playing rock-paper-scissors to determine who would receive the role of vanguard.</span></div>

It is one of my family, a Dracula (blood sucking knight)—Maroudo (visitor from a far shore).</span></div>

Tengai squinted and tried to guess his true colors.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I tried to confirm once again.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I can’t find my sister there in that world. It seems that she didn’t go to the same place as I did. Since that’s the case, being close to princess who I respect and love unexpectedly brings me happiness.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—of course. It is obvious even if you don’t say it.

Sometimes he even showed a tender expression.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Maroudo once again gave his apology and bowed his head, however when he rose and looked at me, it seems he remembered something and his mouth turned into loose grin.</span></div>

Kazane didn’t have any memory of changing equipment for her character when it was a game, whether it was in snowy mountain or volcano. Even when she wandered through an ice mountain, or swimming in the ocean, she never catch a cold even once. Even when walking through lava, she will only receive damage and wouldn't melt.

At the prowess of Mr. Mountain that have exceeded her imagination, Kazane becomes somewhat excited, saying “Way to go! C’mon!” but since she is alone, halfway the road she starts to read the books she brought.</span></div>

Title is something that's given to anyone with achievements, and were unrelated to any country.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Flash Sword, Skilled Sword</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">==</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I stopped the overhead slash with an identically shaped but differently coloured sword. The arm that received that blow felt numb from its weight, and my whole body felt like it was breaking.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“---Wha?!”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Prince Ashyl is strong. And his current status after receiving the buff and physical strengthening (burst), some of his stats will be able to catch up to mine.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However, since the gap between our base stats is too large, no matter what he still won’t be able to catch up to me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If we simply fought head to head, there’s no way to overcome that barrier and the fight will quickly become one sided.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s why when using the same weapon, in a fight between two swords, I should have been able to overwhelm Prince Ashyl. That was my deduction.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However I can’t do it. I planned to block one attack and react accordingly—yup I did take him lightly, however even with the simple difference in the numerical values of our basic stats, Prince Ashyl is still able to bury that difference with the difference in our sword skill.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The result is, as he increased the pressure on the sword I used to defend even now, it’s clear that if I lose focus, even for an instant, I will fall to my knee.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">--this is bad!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This posture is bad. I have to create some distance and return to my original strategy of hit and run.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After my split second decision, I launched a kick that was accompanied by a flutter of my skirt.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It should have been a surprise attack, but it seems Prince Ashyl predicted it and raised one of his knees to guard.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When our feet clashed, finally the balance of power was broken and using the recoil, I jumped back.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What lovely underwear. –Personally I prefer it if you don’t wear any, what a pity.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I am sorry for betraying your expectations. As you can see, I have bad walking etiquette.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps showing his composure, he didn’t pursue but instead, stood there while seeming really disappointed and shaking his head.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By the way, usually when wearing this kind of dress, wearing no underwear is customary. However as a modern person, I wouldn’t want to walk around wearing nothing underneath.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s why, the current dress was equipped with something like innerwear, a three in one (underwear with brassier, waist nipper, and garter belt all in one).</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“No no no, I too have bad walking etiquette—“</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In an instant, Prince Ashyl kicked the ground, which exploded and sent giant earth chunks flying towards me.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At once both of us moved to the left… and the presence I feel from that direction is…!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A feint. Trapped with killing intent coming from all four directions, I hesitated and activated the basic skill ‘jump’, and flew forward into the sky while rotating 2 or 3 times, and got away from that area.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However, the real Ashyl is—right behind me.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When and how?!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Not giving me time to even arrive at an answer, his attack came closing in. Before I landed, Prince Ashyl’s figure appeared and approached me, swiping down with a slash attack.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since have no choice and must meet the attack, even with my unnatural posture I swang my sword. Blade and blade intertwined, and vivid sparks flew.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Using that force, I got distance between us.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Losing the initiative alone is already bad, but now I can only stop his approaching sword or repel it while continuing to retreat.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…I wonder how to say it, this is…I’m being taken into area where I can’t display my real power, and I’m being cornered slowly. This kind of unpleasant fighting style...</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I never played war games, but is this what they call ‘waiting’?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So boring.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I thought I only wanted to hit him once, but now I think I won’t be pleased without adding 2 to 3 more hits onto that.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Using our differences in leg strength I closed our distance in one go, and at the same time sent furious strikes toward the prince.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Diagonal slash toward the shoulder—evaded.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The skill from fencing that lets one return an attack with the flick of a wrist ‘Swallow Return’—he bent his upper body backward and evaded that too.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moreover, even fencing skills that changed trajectory in the air ‘Horizontal Flash’—as if drawing the character ‘orphan’, were repelled.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—Eei, quickly accept it! Didn’t you want to let me hit you!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…no way, if I’m struck with those attacks I’ll die. Can you please hold back a bit.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’ve been holding back!”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s because I am on my basic stats, without any buffs. I also didn’t use any magic attacks from my Saint job, the sword is also equal, only a bit inferior, and I only use basic player and fencing skills.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That would mean we are fighting under the same conditions, and to fight equally with someone whose level is lower is…not to forget how he continuously cornered me a while ago!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My pride is beyond repair.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He squinted and acted as if he was trembling in fear, but as I thought, his eyes were not laughing at all.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s not an illusion nor an after image, the sword tip really splits into seven and attacks the prince at the same time, making it so that he can’t evade.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Kuh--!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">He instantly escaped toward the left which was the less dangerous route, while successfully evading three of the swords. However, he can’t evade the other four.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That Prince Ashyl—though I’m not the one to talk—just what kind of reflexes does he have?!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The sword in his hand stopped two, one more was repelled by his reinforced left hand, and the last one—the one in my hand, while he was still in the air, was received by his shoulder in the sword guard where the force would be the weakest!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Blood flowed from the shoulder that was cut, but he was only damaged to that degree.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Although, from my perspective it is identical to presenting his neck.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Half by reflex, I turned the point of my sword, and lunged it to cut his neck, Prince Ashyl tried to guard with his own sword but—it’s too late!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As I’m thinking that I’ve perfectly seized him, the sword in the prince’s hand moved as if it had become bent, and conversely grazed my wrist.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“---gh?!?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moreover the sword that became crooked began coming toward me, and I felt I would be unable to deal with it, so I back stepped in full speed.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The backwards force alone let me dig a trench with the tip of my toes, and I successfully moved back 20 meters in distance.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Prince Ashyl faced me, and let out an amazed voice.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Seriously…you have no limits. Amazing.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That’s my line. What was that just now?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, that’s one of my secret skills ‘Nami no Kazumi’ (Wave of Mist). Though normally it should be able to cut the enemy’s wrist tendon.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I don’t even need to use heal because at night vampire princess vitality alone will close it. While looking at my wrist which has neither a trace of a wound nor a scar, I let out an astonished sigh.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…Really, this is why I hate personal battles, since I don’t know what kind unexpected things I will face.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well it is a powerless person’s trick to lets me win. Do you think it’s unfair?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Of course not. Since my basic ability in itself is unfair.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However, even with that vast difference in basic stats, to be able to invalidate it with his pure technique is…it seems I really took him too lightly. Of course with full equipment, buffs, and being able to use magic as I like it won’t be a problem. Conversely, if we’re in the same condition—for example if there’s a sword that can be compared to Sinner of Rose (Gilles De Rais) (I suspect the three big countries might have swords of similar power)—then there is a possibility there are opponents who is able to defeat me.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In actuality, this prince, though I feel bad to say it, is the ‘King of the Hill’ from a middle class country.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I think like that this is quite a harvest.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well then, next is…</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While thinking that, I felt a familiar presence from the sky, and I can also hear the noise of several carriages coming closer in the faraway darkness.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“—Princess, I am sorry for making you wait.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As one would expect, the one who descended from the sky is the six winged seraph, Mikoto.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As Prince Ashyl never saw her current form before, he widened his eyes in surprise. However I ignored it and faced her.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Good work. Did you deal with the pursuers?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Yes. I’ve eliminated everyone back there. However, when I went to confirm from the sky, I saw there was another group of pursuers getting closer. Of course, if Princess desires would you like for me to deal with them as well?”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This kind faithfulness is characteristic of Mikoto.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I start thinking about the other lot they would probably say, ‘I’ll also deal with them,’ kill them easily, and report it to me after the fact.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…Pursuers huh…”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Losing the intent to fight, he stored the sword into its scabbard and turned serious.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It seems so. And it’s just finally getting interesting, what a killjoy.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I also pointed the tip of my sword toward the ground and languidly put it down.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, I guess it’s impossible to go on. Plus, my body strengthening is also nearing its limits.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hah. Says the one who’s still hiding their trump card. Also, since it’s not dispelled yet, we can continue for a bit longer right? I want to return the favour for the injury just now.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I said that as I pointed my sword towards him, but Prince Ashyl pointed at the wound on his shoulder, “Even if you say so, I also suffered this stroke of your sword. How about we make today’s match a draw, and continue on another day just as promised?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With behaviour that showed no eagerness he shrugged his shoulders.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It seems his motivation completely disappeared.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s continue after you win. –However if you really intend to win against those nobles, your easy going attitude might drag you down. You need to be as careful as possible.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Ehh, I’m always careful. Then, do you accept these terms?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Alright. I’ll observe quietly.”</span></div>
<br />

However, as if suddenly remember something, his expression turned serious.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The Princess name ‘Hiyuki’, is that something like a name which has been inherited for generations?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“No, it’s my name only. But, I don’t really know if there’s someone else out there with same sounding name though.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Using a duplicate name was not possible, that’s why in a server there won’t be two people with the same name. However, there are many who have different ‘Kanji,’ but the same reading, that’s why my name is not unique.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I see. –Actually, in the past, when my father taught me about the records of the Lost Era, there’s someone with same name as you, Princess. I wonder if it’s only a coincidence, or perhaps it has some connections with you, Princess.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing term “Lost Era” unexpectedly, I was surprised and unconsciously drew closer to Prince Ashyl.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…What do you mean? There’s some mentioning of my name?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Overpowered by my vigour, the prince squinted with a baffled expression.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, the record left in the Amitia Royal Family is nothing but fragments, or more like fairy tales. They say something like people in the Lost Era had the power close to that of a god, and it was an era where death and starvation didn’t exist, also giant castles floated in the sky.”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yeah, that very castle is still floating in the sky even now, you know.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That said, whether direct or indirect, this world certainly is connected with “E.H.O.

When my father let me hear about it when I was a child, he only said it in a tone like he was telling a fairy tale. However, if there exists a country who has more detailed document, it will be no other than the Holy Kingdom of Eon.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After that, the military soldiers who stood in their way—were in reality assassins sent by the House of Nobles, full of killing intent and even readying their blades. As they saw the prince Ashyl,</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“He’s here! The traitor Ashyl! Kill him!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They came to attack while shouting those kinds of things.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well, the prince is playing dumb though,</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Saying something like that, he’s in high spirits.</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, I thoughtlessly joined this entertainment.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Similarly, mysterious swordswoman who happen to pass by, Mask The Rose, appeared! Those who hold no regard toward their own life, feel free to come at me!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I said it in heat of the moment and even take a pose.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…well. I am reflecting on that right now.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And, cooperating with Prince Ashyl, we easily break through from enemy territory while continuing to wear our masks, escaping from the opera house.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Immediately Sir Carlos carried Angelica in his arms and as if he’s flying he jumped into the carriage he drove. I commanded Mikoto to hold back our pursuers—well the person herself seems delighted as she piled up frustration from meeting with the prince—while she confronted our pursuers (or more accurately, slaughtered them), we quickly escaped from the royal capital.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">…Sometimes I can see flashes or hear exploding sounds from behind, perhaps someone is playing with fireworks or something.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By the way, our destination is as planed before, a place where royal family sanatorium existed—Fulvia Lakes.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since we can’t get a change of horses at night, midway we moved at an extremely slow pace. However according to Prince Ashyl, we will most likely arrive at midnight.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Also, while we escaped from the royal capital, since there is only one barrier pass certificate and I keep it with me, we planed have Mikoto take a detour. She would fly until the barrier most likely didn’t reach anymore and then regroup with us. Since she was also told the general direction we were headed, and at certain distance a master and pet can check each other’s locations, I think this is the best option.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well, for how Mikoto should escape, if by some chance the barrier also covered the sky, for Mikoto it is nothing more than a soap bubble so it’ll pose no threat anyway. And since we already escaped, even though there’s uproar because of her, it has nothing to do with us.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, as we took a breather, we took off our masks and kept silent—Since Angelica received a shock from the attack, Prince Ashyl hugged her and tried to calm her down, as I sat on the opposite side inside the carriage, staring at them. Prince Ashyl, who couldn’t stand the silence and my stare anymore, shrugged his shoulder jokingly.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What is it, Princess Hiyuki. That grim look will spoil your lovely face.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“…around 3 to 7 right”</span></div>

I think it’s around the same, well, as my neck being targeted, there might be 2 or 3 difference, perhaps. …eh, hasn’t Princess Hiyuki’s tone changed?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As this skill can differentiate between friend and foe, we didn’t receive a considerable influence. However, the ogres that were chasing us received an immediate effect. It is the fear inducing scream of their boss that was just killed off a moment ago. Though the ogres chasing after Kazane’s group while hiding their fear with anger, hearing the skill, they were forced back to their senses. Their number is 50. That’s the number of ogres that fell into panic state and they announced the death of their boss. The group slowly collapsed and routed.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Since the intelligence of an ogre is low they didn’t have any lookouts at the back, covered by the sounds of their own noisy footsteps, they didn’t notice Kazane and the others drawing near, and the result: Kazane and the others were able to get closer than their original estimation without being noticed.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“As expected, it is here”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s figure couldn’t be seen yet, but there’s a smell that’s clearly different from the others, ahead.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Then from here, it’s my turn!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After getting as close as possible, Kazane descend from Hippo-kun and thrust her cane toward the ground.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Skill: Golem Maker: Mr. Tebasaki!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Following her voice, countless hands as big as an ogre’s appeared from the ground.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Gua!?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Having their feet gripped by abruptly appearing hands from the ground, the ogres become confused and were unable to break free from Kazane’s magic.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Spell: Fire: Vortex!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The rotating kitty cat turned into rugby ball shaped sphere of fire that thrust toward the ogre’s chest.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“GaaaaaaaaAA!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then together with a scream, it destroyed its core and ended its life.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Amazing.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anna became speechless after seeing that, however, Garra immediately plunged in.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Hippo-kun will be destroyed with one attack, so be careful!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I understand!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While shouting, Garra cut off the arm of an approaching ogre. Jirou who sat behind, had a distant look in his eyes while looking, however he ignored Kazane.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(Why is he even here?)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the end Jirou who was forced to participate, entered Garra’s party, as expected. However, he also somehow ended up joining the surprise attack group. Perhaps since he was in Garra’s party, and since he raised his rank on the same day as Kazane, he was seen as of the same kind as Kazane. What a pitiful youth.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Even though she thought like that, Kazane quickly forget about Jirou, stared forwards, and shouted.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Alright! Let’s defeat them like dominoes!”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Golem Mr. Tebasaki gripped ogre feet, one after another, and sealed their movements. At that time Kazane releases a vortex, with Yumika and Zinray also following suit beside her.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Uhh. Only to this degree?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Zinray said. He’s surprised that the disordered ogres became like still targets and were easily pierced.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In a flash, Kazane’s group subjugated ten or so ogres. By the way, Kazane had a slightly unpleasant face. Since ogres were able to stand their ground better than she expected, she wasn’t able to defeat them like dominoes.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Gyao and other members also started to rout the ogres in the surroundings.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It’s him!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally Garra found his old enemy.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“GruuuuuUUUOOOOOOO!!!”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The berserk ogre found Kazane’s group, no, ‘Garra’, and let out a mad scream. His wounded ‘prey’ had appeared. Of course he’s delighted.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">That skill is ‘Fear Voice’. It is a scream that makes the opponent enter a panicked state and unable to move. However only one person was affected by it.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Like paper blown by the wind, Jirou fell down from Hippo-kun.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That’s dangerous.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If Kazane didn’t catch him with Mr. Tebasaki it might have been be dangerous. Well, since it doesn’t really matter, let’s omit this.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That said, it is the berserk ogre huh.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The voice just now was really outrageous.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yumika’s face turned pale even as she said it. As a spear user, her fighting strength can be said to be quite high, however in reality it was still not enough to contend against that ogre. Even though it was not as bad as Jirou, Yumika also felt some fear from the previous scream.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Let’s leave it to Garra and the others, and clean up the surroundings.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Understood.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Ye-yes.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mr. Tebasaki also only had half of its endurance left, after receiving damage, so the number it could restrict had become limited. It’s better to defeat them while they still can, or else it’ll bite them back latter.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, Garra and Anna arrived in front of the berserk ogre.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Yo, bastard. You have guts, coming back nonchalantly.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Saying that, Garra gripped his halberd and shouted.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Only to have your life taken by me!!!!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“GuooOOO!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Garra’s, and the berserk ogre’s, frank shout of anger overlapped with each other.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Anna, I’ll leave it to you.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Yes. This one’s wish: this one’s companion become like the gale”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anna’s magic covered Garra.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">At the same time, the berserk ogre attacked Garra with a club of a giant tree.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Slow!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Garra plunged right below it and swung his halberd horizontally.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Guaaa!”</span></div>

A frontal confrontation between humans and ogres will happen in only a matter of seconds. However, why did Kazane and the others venture out of town on stone horses?</span></div>

That would mean using the main force as a decoy and encircle them. In other words, it’s only a change of words, So they will basically do the same as the rejected plan, almost.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After everyone had calmed down, Garra raised his hand and asked.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“By all means.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I am Rank A, Garra Ordea.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“You mean, horses can’t be used when fighting against ogres right?”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Garra nodded.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Horses will become frightened at an ogre’s presence. Even the trained warhorses would run away after just hearing their roar. That would mean it’s not possible to move with a horse to locate the berserk ogre, and if we walk, there’s a possibility that they will surround us.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That’s not a problem.

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After that, they had finalized </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘The berserk ogre surprise attack plan’</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stopping the stone horse, Kazane and Gyao looked at the rear end of the group.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“If it’s now, I think he won’t notice us if we go around the back.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Guess so.”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As the two of them judged it that way, Garra who was at the back nodded.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Looking at Garra who let out a ghastly smile, and raised his halberd.</span></div>

Your gap and Kimberly’s is not that wide right? Even though Kimberly is B rank, his real strength has already reached A rank. That would mean, frankly we expect an A rank performance from you, Kazane.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">An immediate reply. Ogres have high magic resistance, but with fire vortex, it’s possible to pierce their cores. The Ogres movements are slow and make them easy targets, and since the core is usually in the chest area, as long you have magic that can damage them, ogres are not scary enemies…thought Kazane.</span></div>

With the ogre's strength and vitality, even winning in a one on one fight is difficult. Even a full trained party might only be able to fight against two at the same time. For a 6 people party of C rank adventures, killing two--one by one is the limit.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Actually there’s announcement that everyone with C rank or above have the obligation to participate. This is a forced participation event, right.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing tempest inducing words from Kazane, Yumika asked back.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Is-is there no ‘evasion flag’?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It had been destroyed!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With a manly attitude, Kazane slapped the written request to the table, creating ‘bam’ sound.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yumika tried to summarize what Kazane said, in her head.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This morning, when Kazane encountered and talked with the two survivors—Garra and Anna, people from the guild had came and delivered the written request in a panic.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">From the beginning Garra and Anna collects information so they could take revenge, and when they heard the berserk ogre returned the day before yesterday, they were determined to challenge it once again. However the circumstances they got from the guild is even crueller than what they imagined.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It seems that the berserk ogre returned while bringing 300 ogre tribe subordinates from Black Stone Forest ahead of the valley.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“In the Black Stone Forest, it seems like we can harvest black crystals. I thought we should drop by sometime later.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Let’s ignore Kazane's words for now, most likely, the target of the berserk ogre is ‘here’ (TL: Winlard Town). Of course, it’s to take revenge towards the human who provoked it. Then the ogre groups who are coming to invade even now, most likely will arrive at this town the day after tomorrow.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“And somehow Minishia Kingdom's soldiers can’t move right now.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Why!?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hearing Yumika's query Kazane replied with a troubled look.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Didn’t you also hear about it? The war. If they don’t keep the soldiers at the border, it might turn bad when the time comes. And even though they don’t really want to attack, if the Kingdom shows any opening, they might attack out of greed you see.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Ah, now that I think about it, that's plausible. That’s also the reason of the rise on the price of core stones, I think.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yumika said that while scratching her head until even her hair turned dishevelled.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“That’s why they tried to use whatever possible war potential they had, and decided to forced guild members to participate. That’s why if you tried to escape after you had accepted it, you’ll end up like this!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Kazane makes a gesture of cutting her neck with her hand.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“No way…”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’m serious. They are desperate because this town is at stake.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Kazane nods while making a sound of agreement ‘hum hum’.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Well, our luck is excellent right? If we haven’t become C rank we will miss this rare event.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“This is a bad luck I say!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Jirou weeped so hard hearing this.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Of course!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There should be a limit to how bad one’s luck can be.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Yup.

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“You can choose as you like.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What do you mean?”</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“It’s just like what I said. Those who received this written request means that they’ve ‘accepted’ this quest. You can just pretend that you don’t know. That way if you have already returned to Mrs. Rinrie's beloved Conrad town, they won’t pursue anymore.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(Good grief. Even if you said it with a light tone, your expression doesn’t fit…do you think you can deceive me?)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They’ve been in an inseparable relationship since middle school.
