Chapter 10 (1/2)

10.LITTLE GIRL HUNTS KNIGHTS

“”It´s either Ruuin or Paroma, I guess. Which of those are the deserters from?””

Narrowing her eyes, Bela a.n.a.lyzed the machiinis that showed up from the fort. Without any eager feelings, the three machiinis approached [Aiandinna].

“”Looks like they are planning on surroundings me and cutting me down once they get me pinned with their s.h.i.+elds. Well, it looks like they have a bit of brains.”

While raising her war hammer and taking a middle stance, she laughed. (TL note: Long shot guess -.- ->そしてベラはウォーハンマーを下から振り上げようと構えながら笑う<>

As to surround [Aiandinna], the three machiinis slowly moved around it. By looking at their posture, it was very clear they intended to surround her and crush.

“”Really solid, isn´t it? However…””

The one to make the first move was Bela.

[I will send you flying for once!]

While shouting that, Bela firmed the grip on the war hammer and held it overhead. She still had some distance from them. The war hammer obviously wouldn´t reach them. However, a sound of something bursting out resounded.

[What did you… Gah!?]

Mark, who was one of those machiini pilots, wasn´t able to follow it. Before being able to understand what happened, his body was cut in half and he lost his life. Before one´s notice, a sword pierced through his machiini.

[Don´t underestimate us!]

[Did she sent that flying!?]

Blood started to rise up to their heads because of the sudden occurrence. They lost one of their comrades in only an instant. It was obvious they would get angry.

By now, they could see that Bela sent the sword she stole from the machiini she had defeated before with her war hammer. Rotating in the air, the sword flew and pierced through the c.o.c.kpit of Mark´s machiini.

[Oya oya, bingo. My luck seems good today.]

Although Bela wasn´t aiming to take his life in one shot, because of good luck, she was able to take him down. While being satisfied at that result, she turned her eyes to the other two that were approaching her.

Their pace didn´t become disordered. They had lost one machiini before being able to surround Bela. It was impossible not to think that they wouldn´t become shaken and full of anger. Despite that, their pace didn´t change. At first they intended to go with their plan and charge at her together at the same time, thrusting their swords at her while bas.h.i.+ng her with their s.h.i.+elds. However, only two machiinis was too few of a number for them to be able to surround Bela.

Abares was being led by his nose by the movement of Bela´s [Aiandinna], whose waist strength was improved by all the frana she collected from the machiinis of the Valhalla bandit group and the bigrobears.

[Wha…t!?]

[Too slow.]

Abares´ machiini, which was pressing on with its s.h.i.+eld, lost sight of Bela´s [Aiandinna] right when it came running at him. After. Because of the machiini´s giant structure and crystal eyes, reacting to sudden movements from close-on was difficult. Because of that, it felt just as if [Aiandinna] had vanished from Abares´ eyes.

However, [Aiandinna] actually went around him, getting behind Abares´ back. Abares should have been able to see her from the crystal eyes installed at the back of his machiini, but he was too slow to realize she was there.

[Now, be on your knees.]

Being kicked at the joint of its leg by [Aiandinna], Abares´ machiini crumbled down.

[You think you are all clever!]

In a surprised manner, Soldi, who was piloting the other machiini, shouted that while running to their direction. Since they couldn´t surround her, there were no other choices but to attack head-on. His machiini was still a knight model. And besides that, it was also a very mature one.

[Don´t think that you can hold on against my [Nehbain] with your shabby machiini!]

[Hyahya, your machiini is not bad. Let´s have it taken from you, shall we?]

Holding a sword and a s.h.i.+eld, Soldi charged in Bela´s direction, but to her eyes, that movement was too slow.

[I will be taking this.]

[What?]

Taking away by force the sword from Abares´ machiini which was fallen on the ground, she turned her back to the machiini which was now truly defenseless and broke into  the approaching Solti.

[Ha!]

[So slow.]

And then, Bela parried the thrust sword with her war hammer.

[Did you just block my sword!?] (TL note: This guys lines are so annoying to translate T.T ->突き出した剣をピンポイントで弾くだと！？<- how=”” am=”” i=”” supposed=”” to=”” translate=”” this=””>
