Chapter 61 - Goddess Vysis’ Proposal (1/2)

Goddess Vysis’ Proposal

The girl who had just appeared was — Sakura Asami.

Held in her right hand was her broken left wrist.

The next strike echoed out and reached the students of 2-C.

[Shiggiiiieeehhh–!]

[Shiggggyyyyaahhhhh!]

It’s a gigantic humanoid bone wielding a greatsword and a large shield.

There are two of those Skeleton Knights.

Goosebumps appeared on my skin.

The “air” around those two is different compared to the other monsters I’ve faced before.

Compared to any monsters I’ve fought in the past, these two are really—

(Strong…!)

I glanced at the flail in my hand.

(Can I even defeat it with this weapon? No— I have to defeat it! I must earn some time to let everyone escape—)

[Don’t you dare fight it, Ayaka!]

Oyamada shouted out.

[This b*stard is still in our hunting ground, right!? Don’t you f*cking dare go along with the flow and break into our territory, you f*cking S-Rank pauper!]

One of the members from Kirihara’s group became surprised at what he said.

[What the-!? Oyamada!? We were told to run away when this guy appears!]

[It’s fine, isn’t it?]

[Kirihara…!?]

[It would be different if we’re talking about someone like Zakurogi. Someone like him ought to run away. However, I’m different from him. I am already someone whose status that Zakurogi can’t hope to reach.]

I am still trying to sprint forward.

I chose to ignore Oyamada’s words.

(Even if he said that, I have to help them…!)

Around that time,

[I- I’ll leave her to you, Sogou-san!]

Kobato entrusted the girl with the injured leg towards me.

[Could you please take care of M- Mamiya-san for a while?]

[Eh? Y- Yeah…]

Kobato quickly sprints towards Asami who had lost her wrist.

Even though everyone has been running away on their own…

No— Even she’s become so pale.

Her shoulders and her voice were trembling.

However, she didn’t abandon the others.

[Sakura-san! I’ll bind your arm first, okay!? This would probably stop your arm from bleeding out…!]

[Uuuwwweeeehhh… I don’t want to be here anymore…]

[T- The Goddess-sama should still have some way to cure you!]

[Noooooo…. I want to go home…]

Asami’s lips were getting whiter.

Kobato quickly unfastens the belt on her waist.

Gyuu!

Kobato tightly tied it around Asami’s arm.

[It hurts!!!]

Asami cried out.

The girl that Kobato had just entrusted towards me— Mamiya Seiko.

Her face is twitching a bit.

[Have Kashima always been that brave? I mean, she perseveres too hard it looks a bit disgusting…]

I unintentionally glared at her when she said that.

[W- What’s your problem?]

[Kashima-san is a splendid woman.]

Kirihara stepped forwards along with Oyamada beside him.

[Let’s do one attack after another, Shougo]

[I know even if you don’t tell me! Kuuhhhhh! Waahhhh! Grrnntt! I’m going to kill you, Tsunotsuki~!]

Bamm!!!

Oyamada’s great sword was being parried away.

[Shyyaahhh!]

Gaannnn!!!

The Skeleton Knight repelled Oyamada’s great sword with its shield.

At that time, when Oyamada was already inside the Skeleton Knight’s shield— he took out something that was hidden under his sleeve.

[<Bullet>! Eat this!] (T/N: Red Fist/Bullet)

Oyamada”s unique skill.

It’s an ability to emit an enormous amount of red bullet-like energy from his fist.

The sword of the Skeleton Knight has been raised over his head.

Faster than that sword that’s about to crash towards him—

Dogannn!

That red bullet crashed into the Skeleton Knight’s body.

[Gaahh, ggiiieeeehh!?]

The Skeleton Knight staggered after that strike.

[Take this, b*stard! <Bullet>, <Bullet>! More, more, MORE! <Bullet>, <Bullet>, <Bullet>!]

He’s rapidly firing his unique skill one after another.

[Gishiii!? Giieehhh? IIieeh!? Shiigguuueeehh!? Kisshhiiieeehhh!?]

The Skeleton Knight can’t endure the rapid barrage of Oyamada’s strikes and has finally fallen to its knees.

A few seconds later— the Bone monster shattered.

The broken bone fragments have scattered around in the ground.

Oyamada tightly clenches both of his fists.

He raised them both of them up and screamed at the heavens.

[F*ck yeahhhh! Levelup!!!]

Near that place, it seems that Kirihara has also extinguished the Skeleton Knight already with his <Golden Dragon Buster>.

[This Skeleton Knight isn’t a weak enemy at all. It certainly is a fact that he was a really strong enemy… However, I’m already stronger than it. This Kirihara Takuto has always been human… but with the way I am now, I can’t help but be surprised.]

Kirihara’s group became excited.

[As expected of Kirihara!]

[That’s absolutely cool~!]

[He’s an S-Rank Hero, that’s absolutely not just for show at all!]

[Now, with this—]

Kirihara screams out.

[I’ve reached Level 24.]

[I’m sorry~ Thank you for the wait~!]

The Goddess Vysis have finally came inside the room.

This floor that we’re on right now is one level lower than where my room is.

I am now sitting on a chair in this floor.

I heard that this is the second private room of the goddess.

The back of the room is filled with desks and tall shelves.

There were stacks of papers and letters that were piled up on those desks.

The goddess sits on a chair in front of me.
