Chapter 8
8 Hikime - VS Crow Population[Ki~yuiii!]
The adolescent thought that were running through my head took me to somewhere nice to escape from reality.
Boparu started to struggle in my hands as if to say “Let me go!”
Finally my consciousness back to reality.
[E~to... there are a lot things I want to retort but for now let’s help her Boparu!] (Yu)
[Ki~yuii!]
« C Quest : “Encounter with Alchemist Girl” do you accept it? Y/N »
Some text appeared, because there was no time to think about that I just ignored it.
Then YES was chosen automaticaly and the text disappeared.
It seems my behavior was interpreted as a chosen answer.
Well I’m not sure though.
[Ki~yuii!!]
[Kaaa..!?]
Taking the initiative Boparu attacked with *bang!!* as it hit the crow that came flying down to attack the girl. I continuously stomped the crows that were laying on the ground and still had remaining HP after being attacked by Boparu.
[E~h?! ... Eh?!] (Cosplay girl)
[Kaaa- - - - -!]
Leaving aside the girl that"s fl.u.s.tered because a small savior suddenly appeared, The crows focused their attacks toward Boparu that defeated their comrades.
No matter how quick Boparu continuously attacking the crows, they still have the advantage in the sky.
It’s would just be a matter of time before the table turned.
To approach an enemy that flys around Boparu needs to run at full strength from the beginning before launched an attack.
Of course I’m not just watching—
*Swoosh!* Sfx
With an upper strike, I bring down one of crows that trying to attack Boparu from behind.
I poised the cane lika a sword to prepare for the next attack.
[Kaaa!?]
The crow fell to ground while uttering a suprise cry. I prepared my cane like a spear to thrust the falling crow.
[s.h.i.t!] (Yu)
[Gagaga]
The falling crow still have 10% HP remaining
[Haa!] (Yu)
It’s likely no longer able to get up let alone fly.
I stabbed the crow with my cane until it no longer HP remain and it stopped moving.
3 more came huh? This is tough.
[ [ [Kaaa!] ] ]
I don’t think these guys will let us win easily.
I can tell from the flying crows that still clearly see us with hostility.
It"s going to be a troublesome endurance race.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
[Raaa!!] (Yu)
[Kaaa!!]
Another one killed, I don’t remember how many Crows I’ve defeated so far. But it’s certain that the flying Crows still increased no matter how many we defeated.
[Kaa---]
[Ki~yuii---]
The curtain of night has fallen, if anything I want to leave this place already.
Facing repeated wave-like attacks, my HP has fallen bellow 50% and soon will hits 40%.
Half of the enemy still survived and they begun to counterattack.
Boparu is no better than me its HP has fallen below 20% and might sink in the next blow.
Anyhow, except for when attacking the crows are flying over head in the sky.
So if it jumps carelessly Boparu will also received damage from another crows attack.
Because damage to both is inevitable when striking, the attack is only reversed after the charge is evaded, but the cooperation of the crows isn"t so superficial that a slow counterattack is permitted.
Therefore Boparu keeps pro
voking crows while avoiding their attacks.
Meanwhile I occasionally launch an attack from behind.
But this situation won’t last forever, the enemy is steadily decreasing along with our HP. Right now we can only wait and see which side goes down first.
[Ki~yuii!?]
[Boparu!!] (Yu)
Boparu finally received direct hit from an attack that can’t be avoided.
Its HP decreased at a frightening speed.
[Ki~yu ― ― ― ―]
Boparu"s body slowly disappears like haze.
――――No... !!
Boparu wasn"t really dead.
It just can"t be summoned for one day as a death penalty.
Tomorrow I can see its cheerful figure again.
I know that . . .
But still ――――
[b.a.s.t.a.r.d. . . . you did it. I don’t care anymore, come here. . . I will kill every single of you!] (Yu)
6 Crows left, and they are flying unsteadily.
I have 30% HP remaining, my movement become dull because of the mental fatigue from fighting.
It’s thanks to Boparu that I still can stand now. Boparu devoted itself to support me and received incoming attack in my stead.
But Boparu is not here anymore . . .
For now I want nail the heads of all those guys in front of me to Boparu"s coffin.
*Ga~tsu――*
Five crows left
I was. .h.i.t on my back but there is no sense of pain just little a slight feeling discomfort.
[Good bye] (Yu)
[Kaaa?!]
I had predicted the attack to some extent.
I immediately twisted my body, and with the momentum I hit one crow with full force. It flew and then crashed on a tree. 4 Crows left.
[ [ [ Kaaa!!! ] ] ]
Simultaneous attack from three directions.
2 from the side and 1 straight from the font, I swung my cane from the side and hits 1 crow.
It flew and crashed into another crow in the air.
The last one that was coming from the front canceled its attack and flew overhead. Two crows remains.
[Kaaa!]
The 3rd crow from earlier turned in the air.
It"s charging at me from air to increase its speed.
The flapping sounds that I hear give me an unpleasant feeling.
I immediately jumped to the side, after awhile a crow attacked the place I was before.
It was dangerous
It approaches me again, giving me no time to take a breath.
Because my center of gravity is unstable I can neither avoid or intercept the incoming attack.
*Impact*
In the last moment I received attack with my cane halfway through.
I grasped a foot of the Crow that stopped for moment and beat it against the ground just as it is.
[Gyaga. . .]
In the end it can’t stand anymore. 1 Crow left.
[Kaaa !!]
The remain one fly straight to me
Whether it got angry because I killed its companions or because it"s foolish and can’t understand the difference in strength.
Well either one is fine, I defeated the last one.
Now no crow are left
