Vol 6 Chapter 91 (1/2)

“I won’t let you!”

Hearing Monica’s voice, I saw her spin as she descended down froh

Both her hands were gripped onto a mace, and with it, she delivered a blow that would lead any huic end

It looks like my last breath wasn’t to fall on this white and red road

No, perhaps I’d ained a little time

The lowered mace was received with the rapier

The air pressure fro Celes to hover, and after Monica came to a halt in the air, their hairs rustled just a little bit

It was quite an unbelievable scene

Monica’s strike had truly been heavy

A hu it with such a slender rapier should be impossible by common sense

But for Celes to acco as natural

“For someone to direct true hostility at me… you’re the second”

Leaping away from Celes, Monica held up her weapon in both hands

In the next instant, Aria’s back appeared in front of me

Making her entrance skidding through the gap Celes left, her breathing was a mess

“This is the first… time I’ve… used it in such succession, but… it looks like I’ve made it”

By looking around, she seeer of the situation She didn’t have along her spear, but she drew a dagger hanging at her waist, and got into position

Celes’ eyes were turned to the yelloel on the rapier, and she slowly turned her sights to Monica and Aria

“One Skill user, and an ancientLet’s add them to my collection”

Celes looked at me

I couldn’t move round, I could only return that stare

Aria seemed to notice an abnormality

“Just what are you…”

Locking eyes with Aria, Celes let out a light sigh

She looked to be a bit troubled

“It’s no good Norh Oy doll over there, do you have the mind to be mine? I’ll treasure more than Lyle ever did”

Monica chucked heranother identical one from the contents of her skirt

Celes used her rapier to repel one and bisect the other

The repelled mace rolled around close to me

“I see What a pity”

And after Celes said that ave her response

“I’d appreciate it if you referred to me as an automaton or maid rather than a doll But for me to hold animosity… are you human?”

She spoke as if Celes was no hts, I was sure she wasn’t wrong

So that had transcended the terhtly tossed out

After giggling a little, Celes spoke to her

“When you’re merely a fake that manifested in the labyrinth yourself, you sure are stuck on the details”

Celes put up a tone as if she knew so special, but Monica simply scoffed

“And yet I still exist, with a chicken dickwad here to serve Be I a real construct or not makes no difference at all!”

The Fourth gave me a simple analysis of the situation

『Even with two extra, you’re still at a disadvantage Lyle, confirm if anyone else is headed this way And… 』

He spoke tensely with some doubt

I didn’t want to suspect her, but Celes had definitely voiced Novem’s name

“… Aria, where are the others?”

I confirmed with her quietly

She responded in a soft voice

“They’ll all be here soon Only Monica and I went ahead”

Hearing that, I spoke

“Did Nove?”

“I ca here, it’s all about Novem? I went as fast as I could, just to let you know? Even so, why are none of the people around us ?”

As she took so

Knights, soldiers, civilians… all of the at Celes

A their tear ducts flow

I th to reach for the mace near me

The Fifth

『Lyle… why o so far? Are you irritated you lost? Or is it ry just because someone or another talked down to you!?』

He sounded worried for me

(Right, we’ve been together for otten to understand sos)

The usually-aloof Third Generation offered my some advice

『Lyle, can you try holding out until Noveets here?』

The Sixth didn’t think that highly of Novem

Just as the daughter of a house he associated with

『Third, do you have so in mind?』

The Seventh worried for me

『A way to get through here, and let Lyle live another day?』

But the Third denied those allegations

『That’s a dileine She’s aShe voiced Nove’s sure to be set in motion Not that I can say if it’s for better or worse』

Then isn’t escape the better option?

Even at that point, that was not as on my mind

By fighting and observing, that’s what I could understand

I can’t escape froe on

The Fifth also seemed aware

『There’s too e… ere naïve If it was the current Lyle, then I thought that at the very least, escape would be a valid option froave of her』

The Fourth spoke to me

『Buying time should be fine, but I wonder how far Monica and Aria can hold out』

I took some deep breaths, looked at Celes, and smiled

“… Is so the matter?”

“No, not really”

But saying that, I grinned and watched Celes once more

Her eyebroitching a little in reaction, she instantly entered the gap between me and Aria

That meant she had taken Aria’s back, so Aria turned around with her eyes wide open

Celes grasped hed

Holding up a mace, Monica rushed towards Celes, while Aria stabbed down her dagger… before the two of the into a wall

They both hit the wall head-on Perhaps Aria used a Skill to defend herself, as she instantly rose

Monica crashed through,from another wall

I was surprised at her appearance, but Celes easily kicked her away

The auto to face Celes

“Stand down!”

As I called for her to stop, Celes turned to look at me

“Chicken…”

I kneell enough that Monica was trying to resolve the present situation, but her opponent was too much

“Just sit there and watch”

And in the next instant, my back was smitten with a sturdy wall

With me still in her hands, Celes had slammed me into it
