Chapter 629 (1/2)

「Okay, I’ll be going」

「Be careful!」

It showed how good of a person Rhyn was when she told us to be careful instead of telling us to do our best. Well, she was a spirit though.

But if Fran didn’t push herself to shave off the great magic beast’s power, Rhyn’s wishes would not come true. But it seemed that Rhyn was more worried about Fran’s safety.

But it was effective on someone like Fran though.

「Nn. I’ll do my best」

「Your opponent was a legendary, albeit imperfectly resurrected magic beast, you know? Don’t push yourself too hard」

「Nn」

The expression on Fran’s face as she nodded back at Rhyn was so full of motivation that it was hard to tell that she was not gonna be reckless.

『Fran, your safety comes first, you know?』

(I understand)

『But your expression wasn’t that of someone who understands though』

But still, she looked to be overly motivated over this. I wondered if there was something that caused her to be like this?

(This is the first time I ever fought with a piece of the Evil God)

『Yeah, certainly』

(It was an opponent that I might have to fight eventually to lift the curse of the Black Cat kin. It’s a good chance to know how strong they are)

Fran’s ultimate goal was to lift the curse placed on the entire Black Cat kin due to Divine Punishment.

To do so, the Black Cat kin must use their own power to defeat an evil person or an Evil God’s kindred with a threat level of S. That would also mean defeating the pieces of the Evil God.

To put it bluntly, I think it was an unattainable goal without having more Black Cat kin that were stronger than the Fran. It would take decades to achieve. No, it might even take more than that, maybe even several generations.

But that didn’t seem to be a reason for Fran to stop trying.

『They’re not gonna be identical, you know?』

(I know)

『We don’t even know if the other pieces of the Evil God are stronger or weaker…』

(But this gonna be a good chance to experience the power of an Evil God’s piece)

She just smiled it off with a determined look on her face.

『You’re right. Though this is a mixed being, I think this really is a good chance to experience its power first hand』

(Nn!)

「Oh right, take this…」

Rhyn produced some water and showered it on Fran. Immediately after, I could see that Fran’s strength was starting to recover. It was not a full recovery, but it should have made things easier for her.

「It was healing water. It was the least that I can do for you」

「Thanks」

「Don’t push yourself too hard until Sierra and the others join you, okay?」

「Nn. But if it has gotten this weak, you don’t mind if we somehow managed to defeat it, right?」

Oi oi! That was one of the lines I’ve always wanted to say!

But wasn’t that just gonna raise a death flag!?

(Master? What’s wrong?)

『N-no, nothing. I was just impressed by Fran’s motivation』

(Hmm?)

But if things were to get worse, I’ll have to force her to escape!

Then, Fran got on Urushi and took off toward the great magic beast.

「Woof woof!」
