Vol 7 Chapter 103 (2/2)
They displayed blatant movements to pursue us, and ere more than prepared for that, but…
(A blue signal? But it’s chasing us… at such a speed…)
Fro us at a trereater than ours
And the red points began vanishi+ng one after the other
The Fifth gave me some orders from the Jewel
『I’nal But it may catch up to you soon Be ready to intercept』
When I still had no idea ere facing, I didn’t want to lie in wait, but I had Porter stop, and issued orders to everyone
“… Clara, stop Porter, and stay on standby Deploy the shi+elding So from behind Everyone, co to chase us”
From within Porter, I heard Aria’s voice
“What do you ?”
“Does it matter? Hurry!”
Clara stopped Porter, turned it a hundred and eighty degrees, and spread out its shi+elding
I jumped off the roof, and stood in front with my sabres drawn
Looking at thehunted down, and had scattered
But even quite separated fro in quick succession
The Fifth…
『What? What is happening?』
The Third unpleasantly…
『A ot to be the one that drew it out』
It’s definitely not my fault… or so I’d like to believe
But far off, a strong light flashed out, and soh the earth
“Magic? Enemy responses have… completely vanished?”
I increased nal, and it was busy observing its surroundings Once all the reds had gone out, it began to approach us
I took a stance, and everyone who came out besides Shannon held up their weapons
【Dimension】
One of the Fifth’s Skills, and one that had the ain a third di up
“From the sky?”
Lifting row in size
Without any wings growing from its back, the life form had a horn atop its head
Its figure gradually grew clearer, letting olden mane
A horse A unicorn
That’s what I thought when I saw the horn, but it was nothing of the sort
Clara muttered, and Eva cried out
“It’s the first ti one I think it’s best everyone lower their weapons now”
“A quilin? Really!? A, isn’t it!?”
A divine beast that appeared as a horse galloping across the sky The base of its feet let off a glittering light Every tiht was smashed as if an invisible road really did exist across the sky
I came quite near us, so we put away our weapons, and waited for it to pass
And I was looking up at that quilin, Novem came and approached me
“Lyle-saht for us”
Co its speed, and approaching the ground No, perhaps fro?
Anyways, I watched the beast slon and approach us
(The Fifth also had soht? And is this really safe?)
The fact its pointer was blue meant it didn’t have the will to oppose me
But approaching with its huge bulk, the divine beast looked down over me
The Sixth spoke
『For there to be a quilin as splendid as this… worlds away froht, Fifth?… Fifth?』
Turning the Sixth a cold shoulder, the Fifth remained silent
Its size was around two to three times that of a horse
It crept closer tofrom its head, and stared at me with its blue eyes I stared at ulped down my breath
And it looked at Nove to my side
Twisting its head a little, it headed off to her side
There, I noticed a scar on the left side of the base of its neck It had undergone a full recovery, and that hat remained of an old injury
As I looked at that, the Fifth in the Jewel…
『There’s no doubt about it You’re… why at a place like this…』
When the Fifth let out his voice, the quilin turned its head to me
It was staring at me with its eyes open wide
“Eh? That can’t… it’s been hty years already”
Hearing me speak, the quilin tilted its head some more
The Fifth spoke out
『May… you… you remembered our promise?』
The quilin’s eyes darted to the Jewel hanging atat me
The horn extended froed to yellow and red It iht where it stood
“What did you do!?”
Aria shouted at me, but I denied it
“As if I know! I didn’t do anything!”
Novem jumped out in front of ic The cry of a quilin differed from that of a horse It let out a voice the tion’s roar, and a scream came in response from the Jewel
『It’s fine! May, Lyle isn’t an enemy!』
Hearing that, it continued kicking the ground and staring atbetween yellow and red I broke into a cold sweat
After glaring at Noveround, and ran off through the sky
Everyone let out deep sighs, and a tired feeling swiftly descended over me
And all their eyes gathered here
Novem was…
“Lyle-sa as you don’t direct an attack at it, a quilin will never show such a response”
Eva…
“Hey, did you really not do anything? I don’t want to be the mark of a quilin, you know”
Clara
“Fro since that one reached adulthood, or perhaps it’s still a child If it had h”
And in truth, it did blow up a mass of Grey Wolves
I clenched the Jewel
(Did it hold back because of this? I’m sure it could hear the voices)
As I thought in wonder, Aria looked at me
“So anything come to mind?”
Everyone was sending some dubious looks, so I refuted
“I putthat looked like an attack? Look here, I’m not that much of an idiot, and I’ht it in the first place! I’ why it attacked”
I did have so would take time
It ht ti is a bit…
Shannon looked at me
“So quilins hate you Serves you right By the hy’s that one react whenever your Jewel let off a light? What’s lowed?”
Miranda turned to Shannon, and back to me
The Fourth let his voice from the Jewel
『Ah, as I thought, that girl could see it』
The Sixth too
『I think it’s about time to say it, but this situation is…』
Shannon said soain,’ and as I reacted to that statement, Miranda confirmed it was no lie
“Won’t you speak up, Lyle?”
Surrounded by all, I slowly stepped back, only to run into Monica who circled behind
“Did you know, chicken dickwad… et much easier for you”
Grasping both ofsure I couldn’t run away, Monica was s
“Y-you guys… think that I’? Isn’t it fine to trust me a little more?”
I gave a vague smile, and searched for my escape route, but surrounded like this, there was nowhere I could go
There, Novem spoke
“Well, we have ti chat in Porter, Lyle-sama?”
Today as well, Novem’s smile was quite a beautiful one The reason I found it a little scary uilty consciousness That’s definitely it
(Dammit, I’m sure it’s supposed to be a load offit’s a bad idea to do it now)
And the fact I constantly had a parental chaperone was a bit of an e one
The reason I didn’t want to was to protect the small bit of pride I had left If course, the more important reason was…
『Of all times, now is a bad one With Celes’ case and all, they may be quite wary of Jewels It’d be troubleso you or anything Let’s see… how about you overco the effects of your new Skill? That one has enough is away』
That’s what the Third said, but I had even more hesitation to explain my own 【Connection】 Skill
(… But as I thought, it’s no good if I don’t tell theing the topic to Ckills… but…)
I kept thinking over how to overcome this situation
