Chapter 156
Florid ice pours down like evening sakura
Though it’s a suddenon the first move is the way of the world
(Mist transformation)
I’ll show this overly vivid storh
Lately, I feel that I’ on this too much
I don’t want a counter strategy to be used against me so, let’s do this in moderation
I exit the storht forward
「It has no effect then」
――Young
She used an adorable voice, of the sort that still hadn’t reached that of a girl’s
I ran across the land while thinking, there’s no way I can deliver the finish like this is there
The distance to the girl I’ closes
Now then, what do I do next?
I juht a curiosity
「Answer to ic sword」
The girl quickly drew a slender sword from her waist
Quickly straightening her back, she takes one step back such that she crosses her legs
She exerts herself, lifting her slender sword toward the heavens in front of her chest
A silent intent to battle hich to stab to death the prey ju in toward her
Her posture has beco of that
(But, in that case it’s the saht)
While it is regrettable, so it physically, is overly insufficient as a counter measure for mist transformation
Please learn fro a painful experience
The distance has closed――Now!
Together, we took the final step in with the intent to strike
「――Ru――――」
the irl’s mouth, space warped
Reflexively, I jule
My body raises a scream, at my usual forceful conduct
But the thrust that produces enough spin to wind up a ind, cuts through the air as a result
That was a fine step in, it made my back break out into a cold sweat
――But, as that just now?
There should have been, some sort of mechanism there
「……Such ioes after letting the chance for immediate victory by」
She turned her heel, with a『technique』that placed her slender sword into its scabbard using elegantin
「Ehh? You’re ending it with this!?」
Still giving no reply, the small statured human silhouette sank back deep into her overcoat and faded into the darkness
After that was, only the crying voices going ho- ho- like owls and echoing across the night sky
「……Her exit was overly splendid wassn’t it」
I tried stroking my own hair
One section of led juround
Had I charged in, I’d have been skewered then
So like the saintess’s skill?
「Ah, that Sitra coht now does she」
I tried attentively looking over the environs but, I couldn’t sense a huure or hostile intent anymore
I can’t feel that a girl of that age, with that and but……
In any case having misfortune descend toward my self, is the price of fame, is it?
Seriously, it makes my head hurt……
◇■◇■◇
(Sleeping, like always……)
I pass by the side of a stu peacefully
It’s a nostalgic path
The place where the beginning of my journey approached is here
I advanced without getting lost and, went out into a place where the forest opened
「The ruin is, shi+ning, ly than it normally does……」
In this darkness, it’s beco can surpass it
I understood that so even from far away
Checking my status, in any case it seems that the saintess went into these ruins
(Nn? Ilya’s heading over here is she)
It really is easy to know a party member’s movements
Perhaps she’sby foot, it’s a leisurely pace
Maa, it’s a road at night so I want her to take care
On that note because I know Ilya’s movements, the saintess should also know I’m present near her
In tere’s trial called the altar’s area is it
I enter within theat me
After h it’s power centric side sithpalm
It ended in about 2 seconds
Besides the bear-san I invited to heaven after the chanceof a traffic accident, there was no one that came at me
They’re sensitive to that which is called a gap in power aren’t they
Walking briskly with a mood like a walk, I arrived at the altar’s area
Going inside the roo in front of the altar
On that note, while saying they eakable to force her ithin here on her own can’t she
I absentmindedly, waited for that prayer to end
I won’t particularly, call out to her and h
「――I have kept you waiting, Alice-san」
With her prayer finished, the saintess turned about
Both her eyes are closed as always
Both her eyes are closed as always
「I apologize for thestolen one of Alice-san’s oneesama’s eyes」
After starting anew her first words are that is it
「It was an event on the battlefieldSince ere both putting our lives on the line」
Maa,with the back of her sword at the last h
「And so, why in this sort of place? Marisan is troubled though」
「I was investigating, an aspect of this world’s abnormalities」
「The world’s abnormalities?」
One aspect, of the darkness sing the northern sky?
「……A surge ofblown out frohout the world」
Certainly, it kind of is shi+ning but……
Does Sitra have a skill that senses this sort of abnormality?
She’s like a prophet
「Would Alice be aware, of the number called 666?」
「――The number of the beast」
