Chapter 52 (1/2)

Laurel, who always have an easy-going atmosphere, reveals his anger.

To be honest, he's scary even if he doesn't point his sword.

I forced myself to smile and looked at Laurel.

「Hey, don't be so angry. The way she said it, I guess she's probably giving you an advise. Right, Brunhilde?」

I said so and looked at Brunhilde. She nodded a little.

Laurel sees it. He lowers his sword and exhales a short sigh.

「Hmm, if master says so, I'll endure it. Please be careful next time, nee-chan.」

Laurel said so and went back behind me. Brunhilde finally breathed out.

「…I, I was wrong. I didn't know that it's such an important sword… However, even though you caught me off guard, to be able to repel my mithril sword…I supposed you're someone with a famous name.」

Brunhilde said that and looked at Laurel but Laurel just shrugged his shoulders and said his name.

「Laurel… No, I don't know what your expectations are but I'm not someone renowned…」

Brunhilde tilted her neck,  put her hand on her chin and thinks.

Hey, your mithril sword is stuck in the village chief's house.

I was looking at Brunhilde while thinking of such a thing.

「Ano, if you're done with your business with Laurel, we will take our leave. Okay?」

Lagreat, who had so much spare time on his hand, says so. Brunhilde was startled and looked at me.

「Is that so? I heard about Ren. A B-rank adventurer who works in Ramblas. He just registered a few days ago and is called a wonder rookie…」

「Did you ask in the adventurer's guild? Well, I'll resume my adventurer activity as soon as I become a little free.」

「I heard that you founded a country. You can't do an adventurer's activity because of that, right?」

When I showed affirmation to Brunhilde's words, she gave me a suspicious look.

「I have a lot of excellent subordinates.」

When I answer, Brunhilde crosses her arms and puts her eyes on me.

「Is that so? If the rumor of the dragon knight is true, there must be a hero in that country. I’m interested in it.」

「Ah, I see. So you want to find out how strong the hero is in a battle?」

When I pointed out what Brunhilde wanted to say, she smiled fearlessly.

「First of all, I want to fight the Dragon Knight himself.」

「Don't wanna, it's troublesome.」

「Ha!?」

I unintentionally replied to Brunhilde's muscle brain line.

Brunhilde shook her shoulders in anger and looked at me.

「Coward! Retreating when someone wants to verify your power… You were just a fool, weren’t you?」

Brunhild made an obvious provocation while she distorted her face to where I am.

No, no, don't provoke someone like that.

I was looking at Brunhilde while thinking such a thing and sighed. However, there was someone who was provoked by Brunhilde in the sidelines.

Sunny.

「Stop, Sunny! Don’t shoot!」

When I panicked at the sign of a high tier magic, Sunny gave out an angry voice as she turns her flaming palm at Brunhilde.

「Ch-chantless?!」

When Brunhilde looked at Sunny with an astonished expression, she took her s.h.i.+eld which is tied on her back.

「However, not shooting immediately exhausted your luck. This s.h.i.+eld is packed with the lost technology of magic carve seal! Your speed oriented magic that canceled chanting will not even inflict a scratch on this!」

When the Brunhilde said so, I felt that another flame magic was springing from Sunny.

「Ablation Laser」

When Sunny said those words, a red line was momentarily seen in her eyes.

At the same time, Brunhilde’s s.h.i.+eld was cut in half and falls to the ground.

The cut surface looked like burnt and melted.
