Chapter 18 (1/2)

18.LITTLE GIRL WORKS AS A CONVOY

[Bal, you gotta properly tidy things up. I will be leaving half of them to you this time, alright?]

[Understood!]

The red small machiini and the big black machiini were running through the trees in a thick forest.

They were facing against four machiinis.

The four machiinis were all dirty and they were carrying rusty axes in their hands. It seemed those machiinis were from a bandit group that would appear frequently in the road between Colossus and Morson.

[What? I´ve heard they had only an element though!?]

[Shut up. We have more numbers. Besides, that one in the right is a pipsqueak. It´s pretty much the same as an element!]

Hearing those voices, Bal made a bitter smile. Although so would be the case by looking from the appearances, Bal´s body knew the best which was easier to deal with between them. The abnormal strength of his master was hammered down into Bal´s whole body. With that said, in Bal´s view, it was good that the bandits came to attack them while thinking they were at the stronger side.

[Now then, let´s have them experience real battle for the first time, shall we? Starting from this one.]

Bal increased his speed. [Musas.h.i.+] was at the higher end in specs when compared to [Aiandinna]. And so, by running at full speed, it wasn´t possible for [Aiandinna] to follow along.

[Tch, being all c.o.c.ky. You guys go after that black one. I will deal with this reddy.]

[Understood boss.]

[We will butcher him.]

[That´s a really good equipment he got there. We will be stealing it though!]

Obeying the commands of the most brawny of the machiinis in the bandit group, the other three machiinis went after Bal´s [Musas.h.i.+].

[Master?]

Because the decided amount Bal would get was half of them, he decided to first ask Bela about it. However, Bela´s answer was short.

[Fine. Kill them.]

Receiving those words, Bal drew his katana. Against the machiini that was approaching him head-on, it happened in a flash. His attack cut the handle of the axe the bandit machiini held.

[Impossible!?]

Going on just like that, Bal immidiately cut the opposing machiini at the chest part.

[Gh, gya!?]

Although the bandit had raised a scream and his stance dropped down, his machiini was still moving.

“”Was it too shallow!?””

Although Bal concluded that, he couldn´t feel any fighting spirit from the bandit. He felt that he had severed his opponent´s morale with his last attack. Although Bal thought of that bandit as a coward for acting like that despite of them being the ones that attacked first, it was still convenient that there weren´t any indications the bandit was going to move.

“”If that´s how you are going to act, then I will be moving to the other ones!””(TL:I feel I might have added too many words in this line… But if I didn´t do it, it would be something like: If so, next! -.- ->であれば、次だッ！<>

Kicking that machiini to the ground, Bal looked at the two approaching machiinis.

[You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!]

[I will kill you!]

The two machiinis were running towards him.

[Fuuh…]

In response, Bal lightly stepped onto his foot pedal, lowering his stance and preparing himself. And then, after estimating when the faster of the two machiinis was getting close to him, he pressed forward in one go.

[s.h.i.+t, too fast!]

The likes of machiinis from bandit groups aren´t able to react to such speed.

Bal´s [Musas.h.i.+] pierced the katana through the chest part of the machiini more or less where the c.o.c.kpit inside it was at.

[b.a.s.t.a.r.d!?]

[So you are the last one!]

The last of the machiinis raised its axe overhead and charged at Bal. Without moving away from the attack, Bal stepped onto the foot pedal with all he had and pressed forward. Looking at the situation, it seemed there wouldn´t be enough time to pull the katana that was pierced at the other machiini.

[Go die, black machiini!]

[I refuse.]

Warding off the axe by making use of the gauntlets on his machiini´s fists, Bal drew the knife that was at the waist and pierced it through the chest part.

“”Now, how is master doing…”

Having that thought, he looked to the place Bela´s [Aiandinna] and the last of the bandit machiinis were supposed to be at.
