Volume 5 - Chapter 8 – Raid (2/2)
Unfortunately, one [wind bullet] wasn’t very powerful, and the bandits continued to approach while protecting their faces.
「Reiko, go!」
「Yes.」
Although he thought of leaving it to Elsa in the beginning, it was getting dangerous, so Jin ordered Reiko.
「Hm? What’s a little brat going to do?」(TLFalin: It said Chibiko (ちびっこ) which translates to little child, but I felt brat was more appropriate than child for a bandit)
The robbers were laughing at what looked like a 10 year old girl approaching them, but they quickly changed when they saw the [Peach Blossom] that Reiko had in her hands.
「W-what’s that?」
When one of the bandits struck their sword at [Peach Blossom], it disappeared at its base which was undamaged.
「W-wha!」
Two people swung two swords, and the swords of 3 people were cut, and the 4th person could barely take the back swing.
「Hiiii!」
As it was held over the bandits head, Reiko who jumped over his head also cut his sword, then…
「[Wind Blow]」
Elsa threw a magical strike.
「Gahaa!」
The bandit was blown away by the intermediate wind magic and couldn’t get up anymore.
「3 more people.」
When Elsa turned her eyes, the remaining 3 people had already been knocked out by Reiko.
「With this, it’s all right.」
Jin said and,
「My lady, please don’t act rashly just because you can use magic. This life of mine has been shortened due to fright.」
And the nanny, Mine said while trying to sooth Elsa.
「It seems the other side’s done as wel」
Jin muttered. Elsa also looks to the foot of the hill.
Thanks to the efforts of the butler and the guards, 4 of the bandits were already on the ground and the 5th person was about to fall at the feet of the butler.
「The butler is also strong.」
「Un, Adberg is also a master of martial arts.」
「Is that so?」
「And Hellman is a master of the knight style sword.」
The bodyguard seems to be Hellman. The 6th bandit was defeated now.
This leaves only the one who was watching from a distance.
The assessment was only a little different.
「Hya! Careless!」
Shouted 2 of the bandits as they ran from the top of the hill.
「Kyaa!」
Mine’s dagger was repelled by the bandits sword and blood sprayed. Mine was cut from the shoulder and fell down.
「Mine!」
「…..El…..escape…..」
And the other bandit attacked Elsa.
In a panic, Elsa forgot to use the protection ring and helplessly crouched down.
「Barrier」
To protect the crouching Elsa, Jin covers her and says the key word.
The sword which the robber swung down strikes at Jin in the next moment, but the sword is blocked by an invisible wall and never reached Jin.
「W-What?」
The battle hardened robber showed a face of disbelief, and the next moment was struck by Reiko’s sword. The other bandit’s had already fainted.
However, Mine was slashed by a bandit and had a deep wound.
「Mine! Are you alright?! [Heal]!」(TLFalin: Spells are always displayed like 『|治せ《ビハントラン》』, basically displaying how it’s said in the double arrows, and what it means to the left, however, in this case I couldn’t think of another way to say Bihantoran that made sense to me, so I went with just the translation of the japanese, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.)
Elsa ran up and immediately applied healing magic, however, the wounds were deep and the blood didn’t stop easily.
「Milady….. thank you…. please stop already.」
Mine refused the treatment with a pale face, thinking it was useless.
「No! I won’t give up! [Heal]!」
Although it helped a little, the wound was too big. It was like dropping a heated stone into a bucket of water to boil it, the stone is too small and the bucket too big.
After Jin couldn’t watch any more, he ordered Reiko to watch their surroundings.
「Elsa, let me try a little.」
He said as he neared Mine.
「[recover]」
He invoked the magic in his bracelet.
Although it was intermediate magic, because the bracelet had the support of Jin’s great power, it was able to act at the same level as advanced magic.
The blood stopped and the wound closed while they were watching.
「It’s all right now.」
While listening to Jin’s words, Elsa who had watery eyes stuck near Mine.
「Mine is ok…..」
「Milady…..」
Looking at the two people, Jin is also relieved.
「Although it’s been healed, because the bleeding and wound were considerable, you shouldn’t push yourself.」
He said as he looked up.
Finally, the last bandit moved.
