Chapter 39 (2/2)

“…you’re a chibi-usagi” (Hiiro)

“What kind of summary is that!?” (Arnold)

Arnold plunged in with a tsukko her expectations popped like a balloon, began to laugh uncontrollably

“Nahahaha! That’s certainly a great summary, bad eyes-boya!”

As if stuck onto a key point of Hiiro’s summary, Rarashi+k was held her stohter Hiiro obviously raised his eyebrows,the hter, both Muir and Arnold could only tilt their heads in amazement

“Nahaha! You are an interesting fellow, ain’t ya! Well, you’re free to call irl,’ I’ll make an exception just for you” (Rarashi+k)

“Ho-oh, ossan, your shi+shou has a quite an unfathomable depth of character, huh” (Hiiro)

“Kora! What’s that supposed to mean!?” (Arnold)

“Of course! Don’t compare me to a fellow like Arnold who resembles a decrepit old man!” (Rarashi+k)

“W-wait, shi+shou!?” (Arnold)

‘You’re obviously the older one here, shi+shou!’ is what Arnold want to say, however, he obviously could not say it even if his tongue was ripped out If he did, he would undoubtedly wind up kissing the ground again(TL: just iround, that is what “kiss the ground” would look like)

“So? You were in the ht?” (Rarashi+k)

Ignoring Arnold, Rarashi+k asked Hiiro

“Well,history Research froic to improve its power and effectiveness Co>> skill was created fairly recently, correct?” (Hiiro)

Rarashi+k said that she had thought of the skill, however, she herself, who had only lived for over 200 years, did not think that the history of <binding>>was very long That said, the history of the <binding>> th

“If experience was a stat that could be used to deter capability, the difference between traditionalCo>> has pretty much just entered its development phase” (Hiiro)

Listening to Hiiro’s calculated response, Arnold inhaled sharply as he redirected his gaze towards Rarashi+k

“You’re pretty smart, ain’t ya What was your name?” (Rarashi+k)

“…Hiiro, Okamura” (Hiiro)

“Okae nairl’s brother or relative, but…?” (Rarashi+k)

Giku- Arnold started tre It was clear that Rarashi+k noticed that Muir’s hair that protruded out of her knit cap and Hiiro’s hair are of the same tint She assumed that due to this sis

As Arnold was at a lost to how he should respond to this, Hiiro spoke up

“We are of the sas” (Hiiro)

“Fun, the same race, huh” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k co

(Let’s see… that silver-blue hair and those ears… no, that couldn’t be If that was the case, then that ear shape should be slightly different…)

As soon as she deterer possible, she discarded those that idea I that, she chuckled to herself before she once again laid her eyes upon Hiiro

“Well, whatever It is just as you said, boya Do you get it, Arnold?” (Rarashi+k)

“U>> skill which has a shallow history, can’t win against ic?” (Arnold)

“That’s a given The Evila will be able to use >> users will not be able to use Coic is inferior (Rarashi+k)

“But shi+shou’s level of <binding>> is different, right?” (Arnold)

“Well, I’ht of it after all After ” (Rarashi+k)

“Wait a minute! What about the “Three Beast Saints”?” (Arnold)

(Nn? The three beast-saints?)

Hearing an interesting word appear, Hiiro raised his eyebrows

“Isn’t it obvious? They’re all just snotty nosed brats if you ask me” (Rarashi+k)

“Snot nosed…you know that they’re very influential people of this kingdom…”

Hou~ Hiiro felt so due to Arnold’s words

(Even a the Gabranth, there are people who are classified as being in the top class…huh? The Three Beast Saints? If presumably there is only 3 of them, that’s not a very notable amount)

It see to Arnold, the three-beast saints were ranked next to king in terms of combat ability and influence In Rarashi+k’s eyes, however, she seemed to have deemed them as ‘snot nosed brats’

“Well, leaving out the whole snotty brats thing, the nu out the true power of the <binding>> skill besides me is only 1 Incidentally, they’re one of the people that are heading off to war Do you really think those aainst the Evila?” (Rarashi+k)

Arnold was left unable to reject those words Fro>> skill’s strength However, he also knew that he wasn’t able to realize the skill’s full potential If you apply Arnold’s situation to Rarashi+k’s explanation, the obvious conclusion drawn is that all the beast>> skill

Those handicapped Gabranth are going to fight the Evila, who have studied and co able to use their ic like their own limbs What Rarashi+k is try to convey is that it is correct to assuainst the Evila

“It’s too soon It’s way too soon to be stirring up trouble with them” (Arnold)

Putting her hands in her white lab coat’s pockets, Rarashi+k let exasperated

“So, you tried to stop them, shi+shou?” (Arnold)

“If I was talking to people that listened then maybe I could have convinced the able to use >> skill for the first ti you get” (Rarashi+k)

“To think that shi+shou’s words couldn’t stop them…” (Arnold)

“Well, to them, I’m just a former martial arts teacher I don’t have that much authority in the first place If had some achievements under my belt like s”

“Is that so…? No, I think what shi+shou has achieved so far is definitely so” (Arnold)

The ability to bring out the Gabranth hidden potential by using the <binding>> skill is already a great feat However, in Rarashi+k’s eyes, so of that level was probably not what she would consider an accomplishment

“In any case, this is a war It’d be nice if we are able to return froic…” (Rarashi+k)

True, this was not a measly quarrel This is for the Gabranth to measure the power of the Evlia, to find their oeaknesses and learn soh probability that they will experience so to safety

“Sadly, the Gabranth are siet wiped out” (Rarashi+k)

“N-no way…” (Muir)

Muir voiced her disrew pale If the Gabranth arh chance that the end of the Gabranth would draw closer Even if Evila retreated, there is a chance that the Humas would take the opportunity to invade

In the event that they do invade, the Gabranth would be enslaved by the Hu this, both Muir and Arnold felt a shi+ver run down their spine

Arnold and Muir knew all too well that the true horror of the Huic prowess, but their desire for doreed It is because of this that a future enslavement to them had to be prevented at all cost

“I-is there nothing we can do?” (Muir)

“Didn’t I say it before? All we can do is let things run their course” (Rarashi+k)

“Y-yes, but…” (Muir)

“Or what? Do you plan on joining the war effort in order to prevent enslavement? With those puny arms?” (Rarashi+k)

Even though Rarashi+k’s words were harsh, they were indisputably correct No ed Involve about several more corpses of Evila soldiers Worst case, it would only increase the number of Gabranth bodies

Seeing Arnold clenching his teeth, Rarashi+k could only spit out sigh

“Well, on’t be able to completely stop the fla spark” (Rarashi+k)

“R-really!?” (Arnold)

Arnold tried to think of a method to delay the war, but he was unable to coht that therelike that

“Kind of If it works, both sides will stay put” (Rarashi+k)

“What method is it?” (Muir)

“Didn’t I say? This is only a theory?” (Rarashi+k)

“Eh?” (Muir)

“It seems that neither side is likely to benefit fro it…” (Rarashi+k)

Arnold brought his hand to his chin, tilting his neck as he stared at Rarashi+k

“E-exactly what kind of method is this?” (Arnold)

“…hht?” (Rarashi+k)

Saying this, Rarashi+k’s casually gaze laid upon Hiiro’s reflection He held his arms crossed over his chest in an uninterested aze towards Rarashi+k Facing her, he spoke

“Aa” (Hiiro)

Hearing Hiiro’s expression of affirmation, Muir and Arnold’s jaws dropped in disbelief

“Hou~” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k grinned in admiration

‘Oi Hiiro? Are you serious?” (Arnold)

“Yeah, although I’ to wonder how much of that you understood Were you asleep the whole time, old man?” (Hiiro)

“Nahahahaha! To be treated like that by soer than you, you should be ashamed, Arnold!” (Rarashi+k)

“Gununununu…Argh, whatever!I don’t care anymore! Tell me already!” (Arnold)

As Hiiro noticed Muir’s curious, glittering eyes staring at hi him to teach her what he had realized, ‘ha~’ Hiiro could only sigh

“Why don’t you say it bo-ya? I want to see if you’ve actually got the right idea” (Rarashi+k)

Seeing Rarashi+k’s playful s him, Hiiro felt pissed However, even if he remained silent, the other two’s stares started to becoan his explanation

“…ha~Listen carefully, got it That method is…” (Hiiro)
