v5c83 (2/2)

“I’m sorry, s.h.i.+a. For dragging you into this awful battle…...”

“No, I am your exclusive guard maid. This much is natural, so please pay it no mind. Also, I’m sure young master will come and help us soon.”

“You’re right. Lute-san promised us. That he will save Luna as well as us.”

To her, who was always failing and being talked about behind her back as the ‘disaster princess’, she was told that she was a precious comrade by the only existence who could protect the future that her elder sister predicted. That Lute would definitely come and save us, she said. That was elder sister’s prediction―And then there was the promise Lute himself made, too.

Lyss and s.h.i.+a brought their feelings and consciousness back to the battlefield.

She squeezed the PKM’s trigger.

In the end, a few managed to evade the PKM’s bullets and were approaching.

Immediately, s.h.i.+a wedged herself in and set the AK47 to full auto.

[Gagya, gyagyaaaa!]

However, there was still one left and it closed the distance. The AK47’s magazine was already emptied. s.h.i.+a jumped, using the AK as a s.h.i.+eld to receive one attack from the enemy’s club.

“Ku!”

The gun barrel was squashed with just one attack.

The dragoon thought that it could just continue to thrust s.h.i.+a like that, but she didn’t resist it and let go of the AK47. The dragoon suddenly lost its balance.

s.h.i.+a rotated her whole body and swung her arm at the same time.

From the hem of her maid skirt, the ‘wasp knife’ popped out like an a.s.sa.s.sination weapon, and she grasped it with her right hand.

“I won’t let you touch hime-sama!”

She rotated once again and looked over her shoulder before stabbing the dragoon in the eye with the ‘wasp knife’. She pressed the switch, and the compressed gas shot out, she made a smoothie out of the dragoon’s brain.

Blood spurted out from the inside of its head; the dragoon was completely dead.

“Guga!?”

“s.h.i.+a!?”

However, even though the dragoon was killed, it wasn’t over yet. The moment the dragoon died, s.h.i.+a got hit on the back of her head by the club and was knocked away.

After being hit by the dragoon with a strength that didn’t lose to that of an Orc or an Ogre, blood flowed from the back of s.h.i.+a’s head and she was down on the ground.

Lyss ran to her in a panic and casted recovery magic.

“Be lit in my hands, Healing Light.”

s.h.i.+a bathed in the warm healing light while Lyss casted it again.

“Hi, hime-sama…...I’m okay, so please run away…...”

“s.h.i.+a, don’t talk. I’ll heal the wound right now!”

s.h.i.+a’s wound completely healed, but she had already lost consciousness due to the impact.

The timing couldn’t have been any worse―

“Oi, look! Two more basilisks came out from the barrier stone!”

Just like the soldiers had pointed out, two basilisks showed up from under the destroyed barrier stone.

One of them didn’t pay the battlefield below any mind and headed straight to the town outside of the lake.

More dragoons also crawled out from the barrier stone.

As expected, the soldiers’ morale would drop after seeing that.

However, there was still one person who hadn’t abandoned hope.

It was Lyss.

She stared at the approaching dragoons while still holding the unconscious s.h.i.+a in her arms.

“Lute-san and everyone will definitely…... my comrades will definitely come to help me. Even though I’m clumsy, unskillful, always pulling everyone down―but even so, I am still High Elf Kingdom Enol’s second princess, Lyss Enol Meméa, and I will defend this place to my last breath!”

At the same time as she shouted, the head of the basilisk dancing in the sky exploded from the inside!

[!!!???]

The basilisk lost its strength and was pulled down to the ground by gravity.

Everyone there still didn’t understand what had happened, and there was only shock.

“Onee-chaaaaan!”

A shout came from the sky.

When everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, they saw an approaching airs.h.i.+p that had appeared out of nowhere.

The owner of that voice was the one who should have been kidnapped, the third princess of High Elf Kingdom Enol, Luna Enol Meméa. She was waving her hand energetically.

Luna wasn’t the only one on the s.h.i.+p; Chrisse, Snow, Meiya, saberwolf Lexy, and Lute were present.

Lyss was so relieved that her tears started rolling naturally.

While wiping the tears on her cheeks, she unconsciously murmured in a lovely voice.

”I believed in you — my hero.”

TL note: no idea what could this be, maybe da・n・na・sa・ma ?
