Chapter 39 - #39 Fight with Esdeath (2/2)
When Gilberda heard her words, she immediately blushed while ŀėwd expression appeared on her face.
'I swore my absolute loyalty to Mera-sama and she even loves me back with everything she got but...I am still quite glad to see that I am not the only one who has abnormal strength, even though my toughness is still much higher than his, even blades have a problem to cause me any deep wounds.' Gilberda redirected her gaze at Akashi with a small smile on her face.
----Back to Akashi's fight----
After a while of exchanging blows with Esdeath...
”Guh” I ġrȯȧnėd when she punched me in the face but when I was falling on the ground, I used my hand to support my balance and used my leg instead to kick her into her face.
”Agh” *fwoosh* She released a groan of pain and her body flew away and air made piercing sound as her body quickly flew through the air.
*Thud* Her body finally stopped flying when she broke through a few trees until she hit a large tree.
I looked in her direction with a small smile and then I closed my eyes.
I used my hand to rebound from the ground to regain my balance on both legs and slowly approached Esdeath who was sitting near the tree and leaning her back on it with half of her face covered in blood but she was still smiling a little.
*Spit* I got rid of blood in my mouth from her punch and finally arrived in front of her.
”*cough* I guess it's your win, I can no longer move...” She raised her head to look into my eyes and said with a forced smile while trying to move with her hand but it immediately dropped back on the ground.
”...” I didn't say anything and just observed her with a calm expression.

'To think that someone younger would defeat me...Not to mention that he is from the capital, he didn't even grow up in the wildness' Esdeath thought with a genuine smile while looking at the night sky filled with stars.
'I guess now I understand why my father died...it wasn't because he was weak. He was simply outnumbered, his opponents were numerous and more tenacious than him, the same way as Akashi is more tenacious than me.' Esdeath thought and closed her eyes, waiting for Akashi to do whatever he wanted.

I looked at Esdeath who closed her eyes as if she was ready to die...
After a while of silence, she finally opened her eyes in confusion just to see my leg nearing her head from the side.
*Break* My kick connected with a tree and break it into 2 parts and one part have fallen down on the branches of other trees, revealing a few shadows jumping away from those branches.
Esdeath just looked at me with a confused expression.
”Come out, I know that you have been watching us for some time already.” I said aloud with a confident smile.
”Aren't you quite rude for someone who is already exhausted?” A voice came out of the forest and at that moment 4 people revealed themselves, 3 of them were masked while one black-haired woman with a weird umbrella didn't bother to wear a mask.
The black-haired woman was looking at me with a small smile that didn't really look too friendly.
”Wha-? You!” When Esdeath also noticed those people and turned around with great difficulty, she immediately glared at the black-haired woman.
”Hello, Esdeath! I see that you can still remember me~” The black-haired woman around Esdeath's age directed her gaze at Esdeath and her eyes immediately became soft as she started waving at her with a smile.
Hmm, they know each other, huh? Those two wearing a mask must be Taeko and Babara but I don't know about that 3rd masked person. As for this woman without mask...she must be their leader since she is taking the initiative.
”How could I forget a perverted girl like you!” Esdeath shouted while glaring at that woman with cold eyes.
”How cold...I just wanted to teach you way of girls' love and make you stronger that way. I meant no harm...and look at you now...you are still unmarried, it's an extreme waste...” She replied with a regretful expression.
While they were arguing I noticed Taeko innocently waving at me before Babara caught her hand and stopped her. I nodded back at Taeko and Babara and understood that they don't want to reveal their identities in front of Esdeath.
So this is their man-hater leader who knows no bounds when it comes to ŀust and girls.
I thought while observing the black-haired woman with the umbrella in her hand.
