Vol 7 Chapter 111 (1/2)
Quilin May
I steadied er in my left hand to my opponent
What irl beforebut a single red dot shi+ning right in front of me
The surrounding e boys were hurriedly leaving the area
The girl in highly exposing clothing had two characteristic horns atop her head
And from what I saw in the Fifth’s memory, I surmised this was the quilin, May
“What were you doing?”
When I tried tovoice, she touched her short hair without showing much interest She looked between me and the Jewel around my neck
“Nothing really? A threat, at etic they were, the second theyfoe, the contracted and huddled the, I’m sure they’ll quiet down for a little while And that’s our job, you see”
Job
As she said that word, May shrugged her shoulders, and gave a restrained smile
“No, I’ serious here I didn’t have anyEven as I aentler side of my herd”
While calling herself gentle, she continued to direct hostility ata weapon pointed her way
She put her right hand to her chest, and kept it there a while
Her left hand was brought to her hip, and she spoke as if proud of it
“Yes even like this, I’m an ally of humanity, after all I mean, I’m quite indebt to the about it, I’d appreciate you answered Why is it eht as it ive off a similar air as well”
Lowering both her hands, she glared at me with narrowed eyes
As not to let any of my movements pass, her expression was serious
So I started by introducing myself
“I aem has recorded the Skill of the Fifth Generation Head of the house”
Perhaps unsatisfied with s, bent forward a little, and let a strong voice from her stomach
All she did was yell, but my body convulsed in response
“Don’t lie! That’s no 【Geeht, you… you all must have locked Fredricks in it”
It didn’t seeripped the Jewel
The Fifth
『May, I wasn’t sealed anywhere I’m already dead You should already understand that…』
On the Fifth’s strained voice, May responded
But…
“See, as I thought, it’s Fredricks He’s grieving That’s why it’s my turn to save him”
When she raised her right ar receded to reveal her hand And as it appeared, a quilin horn sprouted from her palm
“Oy! You just heard his voice, didn’t you!? Then if you can hear him, can’t you–”
“H to want it more and more I mean, it’s been a few decades since we last talked… back then, I didn’t know that humans only lived a lifespan of fifty to sixty years I was sure I could ain… but…”
Her form instantly disappeared from my vision, and I immediately found myself staunched over
I was sent into the air by her right leg swiping at round, her left leg sentinto it
I rolled to gain distance, stood at once, and took a stance with the dagger
Despite h blow could still knock me off my feet
With the horn growing froain, and slashed as if to cut me down
(This one’s fighting style… is a bit like our house’s)
Sparks flew froer, and I felt an o her right hand at me horizontally
“Yep, you don’t call yourself Fredricks’ descendent for nothing The way you move your body is reminiscent of his”
Looking at the dagger in my left hand, the part it had received the attack had chipped, with cracks spreading across the blade
If I had taken that blow, the dagger would have shattered, and I’ll bet I’d have been killed
From within the Jewel, the Third
『Hey, don’t her movements look… a bit like ours?』
To the Fifth, the Fourth
『Could it be you…』
He was quite upfront about it
『I taught her By the way, she knows full well the sorts of Skills I had And I used the First’s, Second’s Third’s, and Fourth’s Skills to at least their primary levels』
The Sixth let out a sigh
『You never properly taught …』
The Seventh sounded tired, but he did call out for my attention
『Lyle, it’s that… it’s a good thing you didn’t bring Nove』
If I had, then past probleain What’s , so it’s quite possible soht up
I returned er to its sheath at my waist, and pulled my spare sabre
With a sabre in both hands, I slowly moved to use the forest terrain as best as I could
(She has h I think I’ll be able to overwhelm her for a brief moment if I use the First’s Full Burst…)
If I defeated this girl, I’e No, there’s no helping it, right? I really don’t kno this fight will go
And I don’t even want to fight a divine beast like a quilin
Even if they didn’t contain ic stones, their flesh, blood, horns and scales went for a treh
As May rushed in, I tried reading her movements, and parried her horn with a blade
(Maybe…!)
Both her speed and poere over mine But May eaker than Celes
Based on how I approached it, she ithin the scope of eneainst
She didn’t see to slash again
When I parried that one, she suddenly stopped in front of me, leaned forward, and did a handstand on only her left
She spread her legs out and spun, and taken aback, I instinctively usedbackwards
“Did you find that one interesting? When I did it on Fredricks, he dodged it quite easily… you’re weak, aren’t you?”
I stood, and felt a numbness in my arm as I took a stance
“Just a little growing up, and a child’s speed and reach shoot straight up!”
When I refuted it, she looked at me
“… Hm~ so you knohat form I took when I ith Fredricks Did you hear the stories? No, that’s not it”
Saying it wasn’t it, she jumped at me, and this time she used the trees and branches to maneuver around
“Now you see~ I’ht? Did you not think it possible I was more accustomed to the forest than you?”
I turned, and held my blades in a cross to block and turn aside her thrust
She had circled around, and aiht ateasy on me
“You react fast You power’s also so up there Your Skills… nine? Ten? Seriously, what’s up with that false gem of yours?”
She jue, I confirmed her position with Skills
She was running circles around, and if I showed an opening, I’m sure she would take it
From the Jewel
『Oy, go tell him the weakness of a quilin already』
The Third was pressing the Fifth
『… Weakness? There was so like that? Even if she’s not up to Celes’ level, that’s a flippin’ quilin, you know? Even like this, I think she’s probably holding back over there』
She’s holding back? Why would she do that?
Thinking that, I stuck round, and put that hand around the Jewel
Thewith Skills suddenly became duller
(So she’s after the jewel after all I don’t think anything would co it)
But even if I told her, she didn’t see
While I tried thinking up a e across, the Fourth…
『Lyle, isn’t this the place to use your Skill?』
I shook my head
(Fool! The condition for that one’s a deep kiss! You think that’s possible!?)
There, the Fifth as well
