Chapter 54


Chapter 54



That day of the duel, we visited the lord’s castle . It was no longer early morning .


“You are late . ”


Evin was already in the square . The form of Flora wasn’t visible .


“You did not decide the time in particular . There’s no reason to criticize . ”


Frey answered Evin .


So, this was a duel between Frey and Evin . I also think I have gotten too deeply involved but it can’t be changed .


“The young lady?”


“Well, we were together a minute ago, but she is a free-spirited lady, so it can’t be helped . ”


In only a few days he has this manner of speaking of understanding Flora . As for this, Frey may lose her temper again .


“Is that so . Then, let’s begin the duel as soon as the young lady returns . ”


My expectation was betrayed, Frey seems to be calm . Even Evin was also looking at Frey with a dubious expression .


This duel was to decide the knight for Flora . Since Flora wasn’t here, it can’t begin .


After what seems like a 15 minute wait, Flora came in while accompanied by Giren .


“Look, Miss Flora . Isn’t everyone waiting for you?”


“Yes, however lord uncle, It can not be helped since I was drinking black tea . ”


(TL: ARGGG want to shove the d.a.m.n tea up her c.u.n.t!!!!)


*What to do* Giren was shaking his head .


“I’m very sorry for making you wait . ”


Giren started to apologize to me . But today I’m just an ordinary visitor .


“You don’t have to worry about it, I was concerned about the result of this duel so I only came of my own accord . ”


“Is that so? However, you seemed to have taken care of that troublesome Frey-kun . ”


“It’s what I wanted to do . Didn’t I say so? I look forward to this duel . ”


“I see, and has anything been concluded about who the demon was yet?”


“…No, I’m sorry, but there is no information that I can report as of yet . ”


“Is that so . I hear that you bought a great deal of [Anti-Demon Killer] at the church . ”


“I’m a coward . That is provision to prevent me from being killed for the time being . ”


“Hmph, well I am not requesting for the search of the demon from only you alone . ”


“Is that so, I should have expected that much from you . ”


Probably Evin was asked by Giren to search for demon .


Is this fellow really unrelated to the demon? To win over Giren, isn’t this state like a powder keg?


Well, I should evacuate the goblin village, Ayla, and the others for a short while when it seems to be really dangerous .


Still, if it seems to be unpleasant, I may go through the forest and return to Bureto . I may make a new village .


“Yeah? That remind me . ”


Latia said she was also coming here today, but are you anywhere?


I looked around lightly, but she was not found .


“Zir, where is Latia?”


“Yea, attend f’r a dram while . ”


Zir was trying to obtain information from the ghost .


It wasn’t possible to connect with all the employed ghosts in real time .


“Strange . Thither wast nay answer from the apparition yond hath followed that lady . ”


“Then, do you mean the ghost has been done in?”


“Hmm, that is correct . Because ghosts art hated, if ‘t be true tis hath found throughout the city, they shall beest subdu’d without question . ”


Maybe due to bad luck, it might have been killed by an adventurer who happened to pa.s.s by .


After such an event happened . There might not be a good impression with ghosts either .


“For now, I’ll let you employ a new ghost and make them search . ”


I was told not to expect too much .


Well, it was a duel of those two who face each other in the open plaza .


The duel will begin anytime as long as Flora gives the signal .


Though Flora is essential, two people are seen laughing with a smile .


That girl, doesn’t she not notice if she doesn’t give the signal the duel won’t start?


Ah, Giren said something to Flora .


At last, Flora approaches close to the two people to inform the start signal .


“Do your best you two~”


So she said and returned to the seat near Giren again .


Eh!? Is that one now a signal of the duel?


The two had a perplexed feeling but entered into a battle posture .


Evin draws out his sword and takes a slight forward-bent posture, this stance thrusts out towards Frey .


Frey took a counter-attack posture, she twisted her body with the halberd turned to the back of the blade .



Even the voices from the peanut gallery that gathered spa.r.s.ely disappeared and silence filled the square .

“Here I go . ”


Together with his voice Evin invaded Frey’s interception area by stepping into it at a fair speed .


Frey did not move until Evin came into the position in which with one more step he would enter the reach of the halberd .


Rather than a defensive move, it was an offensive one .


Instead of a pa.s.sive behavior which doesn’t allow an opponent to get close, this was an aggressive behavior that gave a blow to defeat the opponent .


This attack seems to have deviated from the vision of intercepting, which had been drawn by Evin, the defense seems to have been late for an instant .


“…! This timing!?”


Somehow, he was able to divert the trajectory of Frey’s halberd with his flamberge but his posture was destroyed by the impact .


However, still he approached and swung his flamberge at Frey, but she repelled it with the same momentum .


Even if it hits, the attack can only touch the surface of the skin . However, it was enough if it was Evin’s sword .


The wavy blade that touches the skin doesn’t cut but gouges out the flesh . Furthermore, it applied 【Posion】 onto the wound . That attack might have paved the road to victory for Evin, but Frey who could predict it avoided it without any difficulty .


“You avoided that!?”


Against his will, Evin’s posture was completely broken by the attempted attack, and he was crouching down .


Without being careless Frey gave pursuit . Shaking off the current situation, Frey lunged down with the top of the ferrule . (EN: metal cap at the end of the halberd, probably with a spike)


*Bang* the sound that reverberated said that somehow Evin was able to exchange a blow by applying his body weight, the sword was recklessly swung from that posture .


I think perhaps it was an attack that might only graze, Frey had returned to the counter-attack posture immediately after the attack with the ferrule .


Melee or free-for-all fight, the opponent had an advantage with close combat . Is the influence of being told many times to defeat him making it so? She corrected her posture and doesn’t run for an impossible pursuit .


“You really did it didn’t you . Honestly, to have made light of me you b.a.s.t.a.r.d . ” (TL: MTL give me “I did it . I licked you honestly . ” HAHAHA)


Kukuku, Evin snickered . He held the sword with both hands and steadily stared at his opponent (Frey) .


“No, it’s really great, Frey-kun was really strong . ”


Giren who was conflicted here, *haa* let out a sigh . The surrounding party was in a similar condition .


Yes, the intensive training has proven itself here . Simply, that might also have made Evin become serious .


“I will go serious this time!!”


Evin stepped into Frey’s area quickly with an attack that was far faster than the first one . This time, Frey might not have room to measure the timing . The second he stepped into the area, she intercepted with all her might .


*Clang* the shrill sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng reverberated .


“HAHAHA, you blocked it well!!”


Before one was aware, Evin was holding the initiative . Frey somehow managed to prevent Evin’s charge . He repeated the conflict several times and this rivalry was broken at last .


Frey had gotten injured at last . There was 【Poison】 next to her status when I confirmed it .


“WAHAHAHAA, I have finally damaged you at last!!”


At once, Frey’s movements became dull . However, this isn’t a mental thing like that time in training . There was a decrease in status because she was violated by the poison .


Frey steadily suffered a second and third wound .


“HAHA, HAHA” (TL: Evin is an S)


Frey’s breathing became rough, it reached the point that her stance was destroyed when she swung her halberd .


“It ends here . ”


Evin was convinced it was his victory . Evin approached Frey in a relaxed manner . He already thought that there was no power left for Frey to swing the halberd


Heat creeps up and oozes out of the wound made by that guy .


My body shaked left to right, when I lose focus my eyelids dropped without permission .


The rough breathing did not cease no matter how much I inhaled .


This 【Poison】 . Hibiki said to never receive this . I was not able to follow what Hibiki said .


Is he angry? Perhaps, he might have already lost interest .


No . No . No . No . (TL: sounded good with 4 “no”)


With great pains, I was able to make friends with the goblins…


Captain Lalu helped me so that I could happily make friends with the other goblins .


The goblin who dual wields named [Musas.h.i.+] by Hibiki, though it was a little bit of a poor talker, it treated me as its companion .


At first, I wasn’t able to to tell between the goblins, but now I know all the members now .


It will become impossible to meet them if I’m hated by Hibiki . It will become impossible to meet Hibiki himself .


“Haaa, Haaa . ”


I managed to breathe somehow by sticking my tongue out like a dog . (TL: Eros desu~)


Evin casually approached me . I threw all of my strength in my body into my hand to grasp the halberd, but the best I could do was to resist dropping it .


“It ends here . ”


No way . I don’t want to give up anymore .


Anything was fine . Any method will do . I’d like to win against this fellow .


I’ll do anything to win against this fellow . I want to win even if I fight like Hibiki .


Something, isn’t there anyway to win against him?


Evin raises his sword .


That’s right, 【Poison】 doesn’t matter . I should just move my body .


No matter what happen after this, it’s fine . Move!! My body!!


I wrenched my body and dodged the blade approaching before my eyes . It didn’t seem that I could completely dodge it and my wounds increased again . Who cares!?


“GAAAAAA!!”


A little bit of power returned to the hand that grips the halberd . This may make swinging this halberd (fellow) easier .


I griped the halberd with all the power of my body, I scolded my trembling body and thrust out with the halberd .


“GWUAHHAA!!”


Exactly, the ferrule of the halberd plunged into this fellow’s body . This fellow collapsed painfully holding his chest .


“It’s wonderful!! Frey!! It’s your win!!”


Giren runs up here . He seems to say various things, but I only hear a buzzing sound in my ears now .


“Good job, Frey . It was quite a good fight . ”


Hibiki says something to me . In spite of the fact that what he said wasn’t audible, it should be good thing thinking from his expression .


Hibiki thrusts something into my mouth . The taste that I got used to drinking in these few days, the physical strength recovery potion .


The heat went down from my body only by a little . But my whole body went *creeeak* when I moved, it was painful .


“That’s right, should I use detoxification?”


Moreover, while Hibiki said something, he groped my body as if looking for something . Hey, there is nothing here!!


“Here, look . ”


He poked a finger in my mouth this time . What don’t!! I thought so, but there was something rolling around my mouth .


Oh, is this a detoxification pill? When I swallow without hesitation, I’m thinking my body became a little at ease .


“Miss Flora, announce her as the victor . ”


Giren brought young lady Flora .


Young lady Flora didn’t worry about dirtying her dress, she squat down to look at me and spoke .


I’m happy to talk to young lady Flora as it is…


“Hack hack”


Voice didn’t come out . Instead, deep red blood had spurted out from my mouth .


“Frey, thank for your hard work . Have a good rest . ”


A deep red dagger was being gripped by the hand of the young lady .


(TL Note: Awww… . . this cliff hanger . Always knew that Flora was a b.i.t.c.h when introduced) .
