95VRUSTO’S ALL OR NOTHING CHARGE

“Good grief, ojou-chan really got me surprised there”

Vrusto sighed

“Your sh the Barusak residence after all There is soht someone there?”

His tone of voice was nonchalant, but the lint on his eyes sharp, he was glaring at Riku

“This is against the orders, you know? Who was it you had to kill for you to go your way escape on your own like that?”

Without giving any response, Riku silently fixed her hold on the halberd

Disobeying orders was an act that disarranged iven a proportional punishressors In Riku´s case, it wasn´t weird even if she was to be claiainst her orders (TL note: Not sure about the first line… 命令違反は軍旗を乱す行いだ )

The punish was the heaviest… It was death sentence

It wouldn´t be weird if Vrusto had come to kill her

“Hey, hey… Won´t you explain, ojou-chan?”

Riku narrowed her eyes and watched his attitude

There were no openings in his posture However, for sons there would be an attack co about for a while, Riku opened her lips, which before were tightly shut

“It doesn´t matter who it was More importantly, is your business with me only that? I am in hurry here Can´t you move aside?”

If possible, she wanted to avoid fighting him There was no way she could exhaust her stamina here despite how the ti

However, Vrusto snorted, as if sneering at her

“That´s a bit too o after them by yourself?”

It seems Vrusto wouldn´t let her pass Riku ue

Vrusto had been together with her for ten years Moreover, he was also her caretaker It wasn´t exaggeration to say he knew by heart about her habits in battle, personality or movement patterns

However, this was the same for Riku She learned her techniques from Vrusto and improved on them

“I won´t know that unless I try it”

If Riku´s ainst hi tiainst each other At that time, it was difficult for Riku to beat Vrusto, ould hit right at her weak points Fortunately, Riku won then, but now she had only one arm The chances of her to be able to parry his attacks and cause fatal dae should be about half

Therefore, once it becahtly

At the moment either side was to lose focus, there would be no hesitations… The finishi+ng bloould be dealt

“Ojou-chan, do you think you will be able to kill ith only one hand?”

“…As if”

As she s her horse

With a slight of a combat stance, she leisurely approached Vrusto(TL note: I´lish=”” tt=””it=”” means=”” when=”” you=”” are=”” in=”” a=”” sword=”” stance=”” where=”” you=”” are=”” not=”” necessarily=”” going=”” to=”” attack=”” the=”” enemy,=”” but=”” that=”” you=”” are=”” ready=”” to=”” react=”” to=”” any=”” attack=”” should=”” the=”” enemy=”” try=”” to=”” attack=””>

“It feels that it will be tough to beat you with only one arm That´s why I will follohat you say”

Riku casted down her eyes

The negotiations were a failure Even if she was to carry on, it would be less in the end In that case, there was only one option she could take…

“That´s the rational decision To think you would obediently give in…”

“Yes After all, it is iht now… That is…”

Riku´s and Vrusto´s horses were standing next to each other In the next instant…

“…without killing you, you see”

While saying that, Riku swung her halberd

Cutting through the wind, she aih her attack Vrusto turned his body away and ai the halberd in her hand, Riku deflected the spear thrust at her

Because of the force, both horses were pushed back away from each other Some space was made in between them

“Tch”

“Stupid, you are thinking too naive”

Provoking Riku, Vrusobrked

“Couard This kind of thing has always been your favorite trick There is no way I wouldn´t be on guard, you know!”

While saying that, he once again swung his spear Giving a dreadfully distinctive shout, he continued to attack As if the angry howl he brought froth, even the ht of his attacks increased In the time Riku parried those attacks, she would be careful of his ars more than she would usually be Since she was a child, Vrusto would alwayshead-on in his training He was handling his spear right now, but it would´t be weird if he threw his fist at her at the next instant(TL note: Not sure about this ->一音、一音、やけにはっきりと大声で叫びながら槍を振り続ける<>

With that said, she didn´t think punches and kicks would be useful in a horseback fight though

“Quietly, accept your, defeat!”

“Even if you say that, your spear handling is rough, you know?”

Sharpening her reflexes, Riku also accepted the challenge

Fortunately, while Vrusto´s handling with his spear was quite good, it wasn´t above Riku Perhaps because the halberd attacks were heavy, every ti off a deep complexion of pain It was clear Vrusto would lose if this “head-on attacking” was to continue

Riku was intending on sparing hi the ti…However, Vrusto wasn´t the type oflike that

“…You´ve becoer, haven´t you?”

Hence, this was a battle at one´s life in risk; a battle full of unpredictable attacks

“Thank you But is this all you have?”

What Riku needed to be careful of was the weapon he was hiding with him, whether it was a knife, an explosive, or perhaps a flash bo to throw his spear to have her attention averted and use that to throw in a knife or so of the sort

“I a it easy on me?”

“Hey, hey, it´s obvious I ah? Aren´t you getting tired?”

“What a joke I can still keep on long enough”

Being cornered, what kind of attack would Vrusto show?

Riku cauess to the point of knohen he would use the over it for a while, Riku raised the corners of herof happiness

“Your arms… They lowered a little?”

Riku was showing an opening on purpose

She also softened her expression and acted carefree

Of course, Vrusto should have definitely understood that that was a trap However, it still didn´t mean it wasn´t an opportunity

“Han? Don´t get over yourself, you brat!”

Vrusto threw his spear This ithin Riku´s expectations There was nosi it hidden at the shadow of the spear

If you kneas going to happen beforehand, it would be easy to react Lightly holding the reins, Riku made the horse move away from the attack There was no need to deflect the spear with the halberd Vrusto´s spear pierced the ground behind Riku Moreover, Vrusto was still in the same stance he had when he threw the spear The knife-like object, or whatever else dangerous weapon that had been throasn´t able to make the miracle
