Chapter 39: The unstoppable war

“Were you surprised? Even though shi+shou looks like this, she’s at the SSS rank Wait, I think that was a while ago? ” (Arnold)

“Fun!, even if it’s been a long tiet like you wouldn’t even be a decent warm up” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k said as she laughed Hiiro felt frustrated However, he could not say anything In reality, he couldn’t even lift a finger against her And to think she wasn’t even using her full power

(What a monster…to think these kinds of people were called top rankers)

Even if they’re hu Hiiro’s thoughts, Arnold began to explain

“They’re strong The difference between a person with an SS rank and one with an SSS rank is significantly huge Honestly, the only people that can obtain an SSS rank are freaks of nature” (Arnold)

“Who you callin’ a freak?” (Rarashi+k)

Smack (or Punyuchi~tss)

Ignoring Arnold whose face was buried in the ground, Hiiro looked back at Rarashi+k

(Should I use it? The word [Pry]…?)

If he used the word [Pry] he would be able to view the target’s status He was tempted to use it in order to obtain an absolute nuth But in order to use the skill, he would have to write the word If he were seen…no Without a doubt, Hiiro was convinced that he would be noticed before he could even initiate the skill

He really wanted to confire movements attracted her attention and caused him to be cornered, that would be the end Thus, he decided to stop for now Hiiro determined that a chance will definitely arise at a later date This was definitely the first tins of weakness

“A-alright then I kinda want to get the conversation going so…Hiiro, don’t do anything unnecessary, okay?” (Arnold)

Hiiro reht, Arnold’s eyes widened

(To be able to get that Hiiro to shut up, my shi+shou is impressive as always)

Thinking as such, Arnold turned his gaze towards Rarashi+k

“Actually, shi+shou, I want to ask you a few things about the war” (Arnold)

Hearing this, Rarashi+k’s face instantly turned becalare that made Arnold jump in panic

“I don’t believe it but, are you guys saying you want to go off to war as well? (Rarashi+k)

“Eh? Ah, no, that’s not what I’ to say… but when you say it like that, then it’s as we thought A war is starting, right?” (Arnold)

“The question’s not whether there will be a war or not, our forces should’ve already reached the border by now” (Rarashi+k)

“Seriously?! Then what’s gonna happen to this continent now?” (Arnold)

“Who knows?” (Rarashi+k)

“Master!? What do you mean, ‘Who knows!?” (Arnold)

“If war has already started then there isn’t much you can do you about it Unless, Arnold, you want to try and persuade the king to withdraw?” (Rarashi+k)

“T-that’s kinda…” (Arnold)

There was no way for a group ofHowever, it also didn’t feel right to leave the issue as it is and continue to act as a bystander

“What happens, happens The thing about war is that it can only end when one side is declared the loser But I doubt that the Evila or the Gabranth will surrender” (Rarashi+k)

“So you say, but we’re talking about a war Wouldn’t it leave the world in ruins?” (Arnold)

“Well, seeing hoe rushed into war in such as state, ill never knohen it will end The days of rigorous everyday battles may continue indefinitely” (Rarashi+k)

“Earlier, I’m pretty sure you said that they are already at the border…” (Arnold)

Arnold took a map out of his pocket as he inspected the layout of the continents

The Gabranth continent was connected to the Evila continent by a bridge It was very sie that connected the Humas Continent and the Gabranth continent However, the structure and es were completely different

The bridge that connected the Hu and 10 meters wide

However, the bridge that connected the Gabranth continent to the Evila continent was 30k and 30m wide Furthermore, it was constructed out of a special ore called “Xrude Ore” which boasted suprehness and was incredibly firm

There was even a rumor about an SSS ranker that used such ore to create a sword that slaughtered countless monsters Ever since such a rumor was confirmed, the usefulness of Xrude Ore was substantiated and irrefutable

The reason behind the substantial difference between structure and thy Once upon a tie just as long and wide as the Gabranth-Evila Bridge However, there were nu and powerful sea ed to fend those monsters off for some tiht

Construction of a ress over the years Ever since its completion, it continues to withstand attacks fro fire from one continent to the other

“The Gedult Bridge, huh…if they cross that, then it’ll turn into a full bloar…” (Arnold)

“Yeah, and it’s looking like it’ll happen real soon” (Rarashi+k)

Hearing Rarashi+k’s words, Muir face showed a dejected expression

“Why…ould they start a war?” (Muir)

“Muir…” Arnold

Arnold gently rubbed Muir’s head Upon seeing Arnold co Arnold“Hou~ If you do sohter” (Rarashi+k)

“Of course Muir really is hter” (Arnold)

“…he~” (Rarashi+k)

In reality, Rarashi+k expected Arnold to grow flustered at her teasing, and was genuinely impressed with Arnold as he calmly made that declaration

“You’ve grown up a bit, didn’t ya? Arnold-boya” (Rarashi+k)

“Of course, I’m already 37 this year” (Arnold)

“Hahaha! True, true, so you’re finally at that age huh?” (Rarashi+k)

In the face of her unbridled laughter, Arnold stared at her with half-opened eyes

“More io to war? Were you not invited?” (Arnold)

“Hiven that I was invited?” (Rarashi+k)

“So? You didn’t go?” (Arnold)

“I have no interest in fighting a losing battle” (Rarashi+k)

“A losing battle?! There’s no way to know that at this point…” (Arnold)

“Who do you think I am? Of course I can tell” (Rarashi+k)

“…haa? But, our king isn’t so stupid that he would start a ith no chance of victory, right?” (Arnold)

“Well, it see up his sleeve Besides, it seems that my damn brother ith him” (Rarashi+k)

“Your brother did?” (Arnold)

“Aa, becauseto war” (Rarashi+k)

“Well, your brother was the one behind the creation of the<binding>> skill”

Muir and Hiiro, having no idea what they were talking about, tilted their heads to the side with a puzzled expression Noticing their confusion, Arnold ietic smile

“My bad, do the <binding>> skill” (Arnold)

“That method involves this bracelet…but” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k showed them the bracelet fitted on her wrist It was the same bracelet that Arnold and Miur had It seems that the person that created those bracelets was Rarashi+k’s brother

“I’ht?”” (Hiiro)

“Aa, although if the owner is able to establish a contract with a spirit, the bracelet will be granted a name” (Rarashi+k)

Arnold contracted with a wind spirit so his bracelet became a

> Muir contracted with a thunder spirit so her bracelet became a

>

“This bracelet allows one to draw upon the <binding>> skill during battle By the way, the person that conceived the <binding>> skill was shi+shou” (Arnold)

Hearing this info, Hiiro was honestly surprised He could not believe that the person who gave the Gabranth the ability to fight with ht in front of him

(Actually, considering the movements she displayed earlier…)

Seeing Rarashi+k placing her hands on her hips and puffing out her chest proudly, Hiiro felt the bitter e

“Oji-san, you beca person!”

Muir, deeplyboth of her hands in the air

“Nahahaha! Keep praising h” (Rarashi+k)

Seeing his ood htly e as his face contorted into a wry smile

“…haha, so, shi+shou? Continuing where we left off, whatto lose? Don’t they have the <binding>> skill that you developed? Even with that, you wouldn’t be able to say whether they are going win or lose” (Arnold)

“Are you an idiot?!” (Rarakshi+k)

“An idiot!?” (Arnold)

Due to the sudden insult, Arnold involuntarily repeated her words

“For the Gabranth who are unable to use >> skill would definitely be so that the Evila will not be able to overlook so easily” (Rarashi+k)

“T-then!?” (Arnold)

“Even so, abilities and the history of the s” (Rarashi+k)

“Magic history, huh?” (Arnold)

“I think I get it So to summarise…” (Hiiro)

Before Hiiro could conclude his summary, Rarashi+k’s eyes lit up with sparkled curiosity It seehts about her now before he could
