Translator Note:
Today picture is Oswald carry Arge in chapter 24. I found it too late.
Chapter 68: Guardian of the forest get annoyed
The morning peace was drowned out with a sharp cry.
Crying is from many birds, the only reason why they make noises is …
… Intruder! (I felt a great disturbance in the Force forest, as if millions hundreds of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. will happen)
The forest that I protect.When a stranger came here the birds will call me, that’s what I order them.
Carrying the ax, stepping on the ground, run through the forest. Every time I run, the ground get a tremor and I feel that I flowers may get ruined, But I can not keep that in mind now.If I’m not hurry, the whole forest may in danger.
Poachers come over and over again trying to steal the grace of the forest.
I only give it to people if they’re worthy enough. But of course, there a limit I can give that don’t harm the forest. And Poachers are the target of hatred, they must be eliminated.
It is troublesome to do this everytime, but that is my role. And it has become much easier than before. May her force be with me. (I wonder if this is proper English but I want to use a star war refer) (original is: I can feel my body is filling with her power)
… Blood Contract that my friend gave me!
Silver hair vampire, Arge nee-san. Her contract of blood give me a strong power.
Moreover, I am not slack off.In order to overcome the problem about speed, I have repeatedly practiced and the skill of ‘guardian of the area’ is also rising.
Recently, I can even use magic.I’m surely growing up.
“b.u.mooooooooo! ! !”
I rush through the forest with great speed while roaring.
Now, poachers. Here I came. I came to judge you.It is a cry with that intention.
Mostly poachers has fallen to a trap set by goblins and kobolds.Recently, they are even more cooperative than before. (It’s A Trap)
Run to the intruder, lead by the voice of the birds.
The other person is turning her back.Although the distance is still far, she should be able to hear my footsteps or the tremor, why doesn’t she react ?Are you inviting me ?Then, I’m gonna take that offer.
When I react the sufficient distance. I jump using all my power and speed. And then swing down my favourite ax with all my might. With this attack I will probably crush my opponent.
“Flowering”
At that moment, a familiar word reached my ears, I chose to give up my weapon.
Of course, the ax still have its Inertia force flying toward her after image and hit the ground, but it does not matter.I abandoned the weapon, because it doesn’t change if I have weapon or not fighting against her.
She is diappearing right now, she can strike in all directions, with barehand I may a chance to react in time. I didn’t move or make any sound, try concentrate the best I can to avoid.
She appear a few meters beyond me, I finally catch a glimpse of her and fall back.It seems like I had avoided her attack by a margin.
A ghostly woman with short black hair.I don’t know her name, but I will not forget that face.
Her blurry image, her smile with the amber eyes that toy with me last time we fight, will not easy to forget.
“You came again, you … !”
I angry glare her, but she is still a ghost. The best I can do with all my power is avoid her attack once. There is an unpleasant feeling that she is still looking around and doesn’t even care about me. I’m really angry, but I will be patient.
If I’m getting argry here and fight her, I will die.
“Hmm, I thought you are smarter than before but it seems like you can’t use it properly”
Far from moving, she doesn’t even show any stance. She’s just talking to me.
“… what with that?”
Something’s wrong.
I thought that’s because her atmosphere was changed too much.
The bad feeling like when I fought with her before was gone. Compared to the other day, she is rather calm.
It seemed like she was not interested in forests and me.
She shrugs her shoulders like being amazed.Even though I’m not interested in her action, I must keep watching her movements.
“Isn’t it obvious, I came to settle with Vampear not you”
“What? Vampy?”
“Vampear !!” (Tsundere translate: You idiot, how dare you mistake her name)
Not Arge nee-san, but I could not know who she mean.It was a word that I did not remember.
I do not remember much.Yes, that’s too much.I feel like heard it somewhere.Where was it …. again.
“Hmm …”
“…………” (Tsundere translate: now you thinking ?)
“Ah … “
“…………” (Tsundere translate: what’s taking so long ?)
“Hmm … “
“Argento! Argento vampear !!” (Tsundere translate: this is why I hate muscle brain)
“Oh, ah!”
I was finally able to understand it after all words were spoken.
Argento vampear.In other words, Arge nee-san.I call her as Arge nee-san, so I don’t remember her family.
In the first place, family names are not normally present in vampires. Because they was mostly born from magical beings transfrom not from their ancestor .Even if I forget it, it can not be helped.
“It’s useless even if you trying to hide her … ?” (Tsundere translate: because I will chase her even to the end of this world)
Her threaten words will still make me sweating, and if I look at her, she is serious.If I don’t do it according her words, battle will be inevitable.
… How do you do it?
Where is Arge nee-san now?I only know about the direction.
I heard the story that she is going to the Republic from the beginning, there is also the soul connection from the contract of blood.
To be honest, it would be pretty hard for me to get in touch with her.Even now I am not confident.
However, it isn’t good to tell this woman where Arge nee-san is.I think that this woman can’t win against Arge-san. But there’s noway I will tell my benefactor’s location to a dangerous person.
It is annoying if she will meet with Arge nee-san.Nothing to settle with anymore, Arge nee-san are already won.
“Come on, get Vampear here!” (Tsundere translate: let me see her already, you idiot)
Vanpear this, Vampear that, so noisy.
“Ah … That person isn’t here, because she isn’t a dweller in this forest in the first place”
“… Then, tell me where she is.” (Tsundere translate: Can’t be help, I will chase her myself)
Alright, yes, she take the bait well.
I tryied endure laughing when look at her face and I pointed to the outside of the forest.It is not the direction Arge nee-san is.It’s completely different country.
Wait for her to turn his eyes to the direction I pointed to, and slowly tell her.
“『 Empire』, she said she will go there before leaving. “
“Empire, why is she in that place …?” (Tsundere translate: Empire huh ?)
“I don’t know her purpose, it seemed like there was something big going on there”
“Purpose … Huh, I see. I guess It won’t be easy to find her …” (Tsundere translate: you think you can escape from me ?)
I try not to respond to her words, she make a funny face and show me a grudge.It is a face that seems to have asked Arge nee-san’s att.i.tude to the end.
It’s my first time to do such a thing, but this woman is an opponent who I don’t have to fight.It is the same as Arge nee-san, because she do not mind the value of this forest.
In that case, I will trick her go to places where she will not be annoyed. According to the story of the birds, the empire seems to be a country that is desolated, I hope you won’t be dead burning over there.
“… No lies, right?”
“It’s a person who is irrelevant to the forest and there is no point in hiding her.”
“Fu~un, well then, I will be going.”
『 Flowering』, her appearance is blurring.
It is the second time to see her movement, but I still can not see her. She was gone before I noticed.
The crisis has pa.s.sed.Judge that and relax the power of my body.I was sweated badly and now I was cooling by the wind while sitting down on a rock near me.
“Arge nee-san, You’re still doing fine, I guess”
With the power of blood contract, we know each other’s condition. What I get from her is all about health.
Nevertheless, when I get talked about like this, I want to see her face.Is it something I can not help anyway?I hold such a feeling, but I denied it myself.
… His feet are like that.
Even now I can hardly move with that wicked woman in front me.
Arge nee-san are different. She showed off with a different level. she crushed that woman’s pride to the extent that she got a grudge against her.
With overpower people like that around, what kind of role will I be useful for? (Forest Village A ?)
Breathe a sigh and watch my hands.I feel like I got stronger after training from that, but it is not enough yet.
I have to keep stronger and protect the forest.And if it possible, I want to use my power for Arge nee-san.
“To that end, I will train harder”
Clap my hands to my face.There is power.Also motivated.Then, the rest will only be polished.
I’m sure I can become stronger.
Connection with that person is still living in my body.Believe that we will meet again somewhere, I raised my back.
When I notice it, the sun is already quite high.If that person sees it, she will surely just take a nap.
For me, it is a special training time.
Translator corner:
I use Sakuya picture because Chrome using “Flowering” and really high speed that nearly same as Sakuya stop time.
