Arifureta Chapter 98 (1/2)
It was shi+a who first noticed the commotion
“Isn’t that so attacked ahead?”
As usual, Yue was pressed up against Hajion pressed up against Yue’s lightning aura The result was that Haji and thus didn’t have his attention on as in front of him
As shi+a said, there appeared to be a caravan ahead with two groups, one attacking the other As their vehicle approached, Hajiroups in theShea’s usamimis picked up the roar of battle before Hajime could see them
“They appear to be bandits The bandits seeuards over 40 to just 15 The difference in their combat potential is clear” Hajime describes the situation to Yue and Kaori
“… Nn, the guards are putting up a good fight,” Yue adds
“They have a barrier spell surrounding the caravan, but it’s not going to hold out The bandits are trying to break the ith ic”
“But their defense is holding for the moment”
“Having a barrier cover the entire caravan stretches it pretty thin It will not endure long They’ve bought themselves some time, but it won’t hold”
It appears like the caravan faced a surprise attack Numerous people within the barrier were crouched doith injuries, or worse dead They had ed to take out a few bandits, but the bandits were still proportionally ed to erect a barrier, but once it failed the people of the caravan would undoubtedly ruesome end
Hajime’s conversation was cut short as the barrier ed forward, breaking through the caravan’s rerins on their faces The escort squadron fought back desperately, but they were outgunned One person after another fell to injuries from the bandits
Kaori had a determined expression on her face, she turned to Hajiested she was agitated
“Hajime-kun, please! Help them, if you can…”
Hajime didn’t respond, but accelerated his 4 wheeler instead Since it was obvious the caravan would be wiped out if he didn’t help, he had already decided he wanted to know their story He wanted to say that to Kaori, but didn’t
The 4 wheeler chewed into the ground producing a “garri garri garri” sound as he accelerated with a vengeance, the car ine
“Hajime-kun, thank you…”
Kaori sed in response Hajihtened her seatbelt
“Oh, that, Hajime-kun? Isn’t this a bit…”
The feeling seemed to be ruined as the four wheeler continued to accelerate h she asked him to help, she kne cars worked on earth, and the speed he was charging at the to ram them with the 4 wheeler? Kaori could not help but think so
With Haori concerned, Hajime responded clearly
“Don’t they teach you to sto school?”
“Of course they wouldn’t teach that Don’t twist the traffic laws to your discretion Hey, Yue, don’t agree with hi!”
While Kaori tsukko the vehicle towards the bandit sitting in the rear who appeared to be the leader Haji them over without hesitation
The bandit leader finally noticed the strange object approaching the behind a cloud of dust He issued instructions to nearby bandits, and they began to chant ic To them, the 4 wheeler appeared to be some new kind of demon or monster They would not have believed it was man-made, let alone operated by people
Haji one of its many functions A blade of approximately 1 meter protruded from the sides and roof The bandits fired flame bullets at the vehicle, but they bounced harnore theh the fla the vehicle, its steadfast rush towards the bandits put sour expressions on their faces
Dogoo! Baki! Squish!+
Horror, despair, and embarrassment – those were the expressions on the bandit’s faces as they collided with the hood of the 4-wheeler
As bandits flung over the roof, the blade on top ripped them to shreds Some tried to jump to the sides to avoid the blades and were bloay instead At 80 kh to ans
The rear group of bandits iped out in aseven dead
After taking out the rear bandits, Haji it into a drift The area becoround as the 4 wheelers cuts into the bandits, leaving the survivingwith stunned looks Bandits and caravan guards in close combat suddenly stop to stare at the scene
As the bandits and caravan guards eye theerly
“If they attack us without co to do the same Do you understand?” Hajime explained to Kaori
“… yes, I understand”
Kaori understood that despite being kind, she wasn’t allowed to heal or protect the people she would call enemies If she did, she wouldn’t be able to follow Hajime She had made her resolve to be in his party Hajiave him a resolute nod to alleviate his suspicions
“I won’t get interfere So do what you need to do” Hajihed
“Yes” Kaori let out a s to the closest injured person She was surprised that it turned out to be a young woained their resolved iressively, their faces twisted in anger over the bandits the 4 wheeler had killed
“You whore! Die!” While raising an angry voice, one of the bandits brandished his long sword
Kaori spared hi him She continued at a full sprint towards the injured person while beginning her chant A , andhis life
Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan!
The wind continuously carried the sounds of death with each crack of thunder Each explosion resulted in the destruction of another head in a spectacle of blood It was overwhelly harsh The more than 40 bandits were reduced to half their number in a matter of seconds
In a panic at the unbelievable sight, a few of the bandits tried to grab shi+a and the other girls in an atteuards tried to shout out to the girls to give the, but his worries were pointless shi+a’s superhu quite nicely, and there were no openings in this combat rabbit!
shi+a pulled out Doryukken from the treasure rooness behind her Passi! Itto size As she swung, a circular white membrane formed on end It was a wall of air which struck the upper bodies of three of the bandits, blowing thele hit
“Oops! Too much blood!”
Apparently, as they hadn’t fought any sotten to restrain herself when fighting a weaker enemy She had intended to just toss the enemy back, but with her absent- without the lower The sudden splattering of blood causes shi+a to back up several steps in surprise
Yue and Tio spared shi+a a the other bandits with a storic
The re 10 bandits were uncere without time to plead for their lives It was pure destruction without any forgiveness
Kaori used the recovery ic restoration to heal nurettably, uards who had fallen earlier had already breathed their last breath Even reproductionthem back from the dead
As Hajime approached Kaori, a person raced up to her quickly The stranger was s them to appear suspicious However, Hajime knew this was the person who had kept the barrier up to desperately protect the caravan None of the caravan guards got in Hajime’s way as he approached them
“Kaori!”
The hooded person threw out her hands and used herher name in a pretty voice Kaori didn’t hide her astonish the name of the person in the process
“Lily (She’ll be called Riri or Ririana in the next chapter on)? After all, it is Lily? That barrier looked familiar I didn’t think I’d find you in such a place, but I suspected…” It appeared Kaori recognized the hooded person as Lily
—– Rather, Liliana SB Heilig (Hairihi), the third princess of the Heilig (Hairihi) Kingdom was the person in the hood
Liliana hugged Kaori with relief, offering a gli, blue eyes and apparent beauty hidden by the hood Her eyes squeezed shut as she began to cry, speaking to Kaori quietly between sobs
“I also did not think I’d find Kaori in this place It is… good fortune It seems that I haven’t exhausted my luck yet”
“Lily? What’s wrong?”
Kaori didn’t quite get thewas off and pulled back Liliana put a finger on Kaori’sher not to use Liliana’s name
Apparently Liliana was alone and had ave a syle the princess must have faced
“Kaori, are you guys done?” Hajime interrupted, oblivious to the mood
Liliana gave Hajime a blank look Suddenly, Liliana raised her voice and shouted “Hya!” Looking up at Hajio off in her head and she ireet Hajime
“It’s Nagu time no see We had heard about your survival after the fall The strength and ability to survive is worthy of respect It was good you survived While you were , Kaori was a wreck”
“Wait, Lily, we’re fine now” Kaori spoke in a fluster
“I heard about how Kaori confessed to Hajime from shi+zuku, but you’ll have to tell me more about it later”
Liliana was teasing Kaori in a fun tone, sht red from embarrassment
The princess’s smile must be very popular with the public There was no doubt that if she ai and old alike, they would fall for her However, Hajime wasn’t particularly moved by her smile
Without reading the atmosphere at all, he eyed her suspiciously and demands,”…And who exactly are you?”
“Heh?”
If Hajime didn’t interrupt the about the status of all the other students in the kingdom Hajime didn’t have the patience to be subtle He wanted a direct answers
Liliana was a princess with a great personality and as loved by everyone she met She was shocked to be addressed so improperly by athe princess, thus she let out a goofy voice involuntarily
The panicked Kaori immediately tried to smooth out the situation on behalf of the dazed Liliana She spoke in a low voice so no one else could hear them
“Hajido to!”
“……………………………………… Ah…”
“Gusu (sobbing), you’ve forgotten me, haven’t you? Gusu” Leliana whined
“Lily! Don’t cry because of that! Hajime-kun is kinda whatchaet Lily So you don’t need to cry!” Kaori attes out
“Hey, can you not say those rude things so casually?” Hajihed
Since Liliana’s watery eyes looked quite terrible, Kaori was desperate to coave hiht now!” Meanwhile, Liliana was explaining “No, it’s okay Kaori, it just hurt my pride a little…” Across the board, the conclusion fro for having cootten who Liliana was
With the atmosphere already delicate, a man from the caravan approached them
“It’s been a long tiood health…” the caravan leader stated
“From health drinks…” Hajime responds
