Chapter 280: Thefor (2/2)
“And I’ you I couldn’t use it Thanks to that, I had to use my ability ‘White Crow’ to somehow fly all the way here”
“Now here—!! Eh?” (Takane)
“Yo, Takane-kun, long tiency call, so I hurried back It looks like the state at Kannaoi is fishy, but for now, I prioritized on returning”
“A-Azu-san?!” (Takane)
“Yeah And so, are they guests? Moreover, it looks like it has turned into a fight” (Aznoval)
“T-That’s right! That’s e called you It looks like Rokuya-san and the others won’t be able to deal with it without you” (Takane)
“…Fu with quite the small amount of people Moreover, they are opponents that can set up a giantyou notice huh” (Aznoval)
“That’s right, they are unbelievable opponents—eh? Barrier…ot surprised by the ain got surprised by what the man said
“Umu I couldn’t make a complete analysis of it, but it is placed in such a way that it won’t be noticed The effects are: obstructing the trespassing to this floor, and probably soic But from what I see, I don’t know for what it is at all I can’t read their intentions” (Aznoval)
“No way To think they would be able to foratsuhi, the Prison Palace, without !” (Takane)
“Thatof powerful ones To the level that they have the chance of bringing down this place even when confronting us right froth is needed” (Aznoval)
The fully aroes ‘umu umu’ as he nods
He is cal on the keyboard at hand
In front of him, there’s a device that resembles that of a PC
“damn it, damn it!! Where is it, where is it, where is it?! Just what did they set up?!” (Takane)
“Good grief In that case, I should first regroup with Rokuya An opponent that is trying to finish this fight without killing and under these conditions huh I am scared of the ser” (Aznoval)
A white crow that caht
Aznoval whispers: ‘what is it?’ with his head turned to it
Right after, his figure disappeared from the room
“Oh, these are the ‘Grim Tale Gears’ of Rokuya But, for some reason, he is not here?”
“How dare he do this topain and shame in such a way…no, that’s not all there’s to it, he dared to do this to me, a follower of Waka-saht in his front as he finished his teleportation was a black haired girl restrained with a fahtly crazy in the head –no well, seee
A japanese clothed beauty with long glossy hair wearing a kiht of this ht in this…” (Aznoval)
The stiffened Aznoval lets out a strained laugh with a complicated expression
“You…”
“Oh, what is it, young lady?” (Aznoval)
“If you destroy these gears…I will kill you” (Mio)
Even without acting, the gaze of Mio itself felt like it was enough to kill a person, and this very gaze was being poured directly at the knight
“Yeah, I understood that fro but…it seems you have complex circumstances” (Aznoval)
“…Yeah That’s why, just leave et released from this restraint in an undesirable manner…I don’t have the confidence that I will be able to hold myself back at all” (Mio)
“Then, I will not destroy it under a condition It looks like you know the man called Rokuya but, where is he now?” (Aznoval)
“He is running around somewhere……no, he was Fufufufu Fro Waka-sama That ultra duper idiot” (Mio)
“! Looks like I have to hurry” (Aznoval)
The figure of Aznoval disappears once again
“So that’s the tru for? He probably is Because he entered frohtly regained her sanity, pondered this
“Then, he also noticed the spell that Waka-sama setup? Well, even if that’s the case, the trump card in our side is also about ready, so it doesn’t ears disappear quickly?” (Mio)
But that last part she said once again changed the tone of her voice into darkness
“But I wonder how long Rokuya will be able to last against Waka-sa a bit entle in the punishment Let’s see, let’s spare him from the pocky at least” (Mio)
With an innocent tone, Mio predicts the scene that will be reaching its conclusion in tie your job tostory I was literally send to ‘be in a wall’, you see” (Makoto)
“…No no no, there’s lis, you know”
The head of a person suddenly broke through the ground and appeared
OneHead
Seeing the identity of it, Rokuya inadvertently shouted
Probably with the feelings of ‘why in the hell is he okay’
And then, the person in question said so absurd as he makes a wry smile
He s stretch
giphy (1)
“Leaving aside thearound safely must mean that Mio is in a bad situation” (Makoto)
“…”
“I will have you go down” (Makoto)
The ringleader and also intruder, Makoto, instantly changed the atmosphere around him and declared this
“Tch, we chose the proper opponent for you though!” (Rokuya)
Is he going to fight, or flee?
Measuring his own strength and the strength of Makoto, Rokuya instantly arrived to an answer
Flee
Especially because his coainst him is way too bad
In a situation where they are already facing each other, he has practically nothing he can do against Makoto
Even if he were to have a party to fight against him
In this current 1 vs 1 situation, the conclusion that Rokuya arrived at was 0 chance
In that case, even if it’s reckless, the best choice he has is to escape from him and head to the other battles to provide reinforcement
“[Sky Wal—” (Rokuya)
With incredible initial velocity, Rokuya took distance and was about to use his forte, presence erasure -but at that instant…
His face stiffened at the fierce nu from his stomach to all over his body
In the instant Rokuya took to create distance from him, Makoto already had bow in hand and even locked him on
The prayer of the assassin for his skill to activate was not heed
His abdomen had been pierced with an arrow
“…”
“damn…it…As expected, it was no use” (Rokuya)
“Just in case, I used a paralyzing arrow for capture Please take a rest This battle is already over after all” (Makoto)
“I wonder…about that It seems…our trump card…appeared first” (Rokuya)
Rokuya, as shot in mid-air, fell just like that and made a dull sound once he dropped
He twitched several times, but it seems his body can’t ht the presence of soh, and then, showed opposition towards Makoto
Hearing that, Makoto also searched for the presence, and then, turns his eyes towards the one that appeared
“So the star arrives huh” (Makoto)
“”Well, you htly late I am Aznoval, and you? Are you an acquaintance of that black haired beauty?” (Aznoval)
“Yeah I aht be easier to understand for you guys if I were to introduce h” (Makoto)
“Kuzunoha…Raidou… I see, so you are the one Looks like fateful encounters do exist This is just s here but, if possible, I would have wanted to meet you in different circue against the Adventurers of Origin Once the o well I still think that” (Makoto)
“Well, all that said, you are currently an enemy that hurt my comrades and attacked the members of this base So…” (Aznoval)
Aznoval points the strangely-shaped big sith one hand at Makoto
“Can you please wait for a bit? With that, the battle will be over” (Makoto)
“I don’t knohat you guys are scheuys who don’t wish to fight are still here putting your lives at stake, it must mean that both parties -or maybe only one side- has a decent reason for it It is not like there will always be a way to wrap things up nicely, you know?” (Aznoval)
With fighting spirit and pressure still directed at Makoto, his right arm continuously rose in power
“I learned of the core reason for this battle That’s why, I created a counter-plan for it Aznoval-san…” (Makoto)
“And in that plan of yours…” (Aznoval)
“…”
“Was the reason for pointing my sword at you also accounted in it? Even if you resolve this ‘core reason’ you speak of, reasons to continue the battle will be born in the middle of the battle And as proof of this, here I a ” (Aznoval)
“…”
“Once again, I introduce ht, the squire Aznoval The public calls ainst an opponent I will be facing seriously would be rude after all The Kuzunoha Company’s Raidou, as an intruder, I will—-” (Aznoval)
“It is here Finally broken” (Makoto)
The expression of Makoto suddenly changes to one of joy while he was hearing the knight introducing himself
“Hm?”
“Aznoval-san, it is true that we injured your comrades But! The ones who attacked us no-questions-asked ished for a talk and negotiation were Picnic Rosegarden Please hear the circumstances first Our circumstances, and the circumstances of your comrades; both of them!” (Makoto)
“…”
“No one has died We have not killed a single person in this battle We can still ht?!” (Makoto)
“Circumstances huh I souys but…it is true that I still don’t know the reason why our side is aiuys from the Kuzunoha Company” (Aznoval)
“Yes” (Makoto)
“…Understood It looks like this ti of yours has already bore fruit anyways, so first, let’s hear what you have to say” (Aznoval)
Sheathing his sword back, Aznoval faces Makoto with a calm expression and nods
The short but fierce battle between the Kuzunoha Co its conclusion
