Chapter 54

That day of the duel, we visited the lord’s castle . It was no longer early morning .

“You are late . ”

Evin was already in the square . The form of Flora wasn’t visible .

“You did not decide the time in particular . There’s no reason to criticize . ”

Frey answered Evin .

So, this was a duel between Frey and Evin . I also think I have gotten too deeply involved but it can’t be changed .

“The young lady?”

“Well, we were together a minute ago, but she is a free-spirited lady, so it can’t be helped . ”

In only a few days he has this manner of speaking of understanding Flora . As for this, Frey may lose her temper again .

“Is that so . Then, let’s begin the duel as soon as the young lady returns . ”

My expectation was betrayed, Frey seems to be calm . Even Evin was also looking at Frey with a dubious expression .

This duel was to decide the knight for Flora . Since Flora wasn’t here, it can’t begin .

After what seems like a 15 minute wait, Flora came in while accompanied by Giren .

“Look, Miss Flora . Isn’t everyone waiting for you?”

“Yes, however lord uncle, It can not be helped since I was drinking black tea . ”

(TL: ARGGG want to shove the damn tea up her cunt!!!!)

*What to do* Giren was shaking his head .

“I’m very sorry for making you wait . ”

Giren started to apologize to me . But today I’m just an ordinary visitor .

“You don’t have to worry about it, I was concerned about the result of this duel so I only came of my own accord . ”

“Is that so? However, you seemed to have taken care of that troublesome Frey-kun . ”

“It’s what I wanted to do . Didn’t I say so? I look forward to this duel . ”

“I see, and has anything been concluded about who the demon was yet?”

“…No, I’m sorry, but there is no information that I can report as of yet . ”

“Is that so . I hear that you bought a great deal of [Anti-Demon Killer] at the church . ”

“I’m a coward . That is provision to prevent me from being killed for the time being . ”

“Hmph, well I am not requesting for the search of the demon from only you alone . ”

“Is that so, I should have expected that much from you . ”

Probably Evin was asked by Giren to search for demon .

Is this fellow really unrelated to the demon? To win over Giren, isn’t this state like a powder keg?

Well, I should evacuate the goblin village, Ayla, and the others for a short while when it seems to be really dangerous .

Still, if it seems to be unpleasant, I may go through the forest and return to Bureto . I may make a new village .

“Yeah? That remind me . ”

Latia said she was also coming here today, but are you anywhere?

I looked around lightly, but she was not found .

“Zir, where is Latia?”

“Yea, attend f’r a dram while . ”

Zir was trying to obtain information from the ghost .

It wasn’t possible to connect with all the employed ghosts in real time .

“Strange . Thither wast nay answer from the apparition yond hath followed that lady . ”

“Then, do you mean the ghost has been done in?”

“Hmm, that is correct . Because ghosts art hated, if ‘t be true tis hath found throughout the city, they shall beest subdu’d without question . ”

Maybe due to bad luck, it might have been killed by an adventurer who happened to pass by .

After such an event happened . There might not be a good impression with ghosts either .

“For now, I’ll let you employ a new ghost and make them search . ”

I was told not to expect too much .

Well, it was a duel of those two who face each other in the open plaza .

The duel will begin anytime as long as Flora gives the signal .

Though Flora is essential, two people are seen laughing with a smile .

That girl, doesn’t she not notice if she doesn’t give the signal the duel won’t start?

Ah, Giren said something to Flora .

At last, Flora approaches close to the two people to inform the start signal .

“Do your best you two~”

So she said and returned to the seat near Giren again .

Eh!? Is that one now a signal of the duel?

The two had a perplexed feeling but entered into a battle posture .

Evin draws out his sword and takes a slight forward-bent posture, this stance thrusts out towards Frey .

Frey took a counter-attack posture, she twisted her body with the halberd turned to the back of the blade .

“Here I go . ”

Together with his voice Evin invaded Frey’s interception area by stepping into it at a fair speed .

Frey did not move until Evin came into the position in which with one more step he would enter the reach of the halberd .

Rather than a defensive move, it was an offensive one .

Instead of a passive behavior which doesn’t allow an opponent to get close, this was an aggressive behavior that gave a blow to defeat the opponent .

This attack seems to have deviated from the vision of intercepting, which had been drawn by Evin, the defense seems to have been late for an instant .

“…! This timing!?”

Somehow, he was able to divert the trajectory of Frey’s halberd with his flamberge but his posture was destroyed by the impact .

However, still he approached and swung his flamberge at Frey, but she repelled it with the same momentum .

Even if it hits, the attack can only touch the surface of the skin . However, it was enough if it was Evin’s sword .

The wavy blade that touches the skin doesn’t cut but gouges out the flesh . Furthermore, it applied 【Posion】 onto the wound . That attack might have paved the road to victory for Evin, but Frey who could predict it avoided it without any difficulty .

“You avoided that!?”

Against his will, Evin’s posture was completely broken by the attempted attack, and he was crouching down .

Without being careless Frey gave pursuit . Shaking off the current situation, Frey lunged down with the top of the ferrule . (EN: metal cap at the end of the halberd, probably with a spike)

*Bang* the sound that reverberated said that somehow Evin was able to exchange a blow by applying his body weight, the sword was recklessly swung from that posture .

I think perhaps it was an attack that might only graze, Frey had returned to the counter-attack posture immediately after the attack with the ferrule .

Melee or free-for-all fight, the opponent had an advantage with close combat . Is the influence of being told many times to defeat him making it so? She corrected her posture and doesn’t run for an impossible pursuit .

“You really did it didn’t you . Honestly, to have made light of me you bastard . ” (TL: MTL give me “I did it . I licked you honestly . ” HAHAHA)

Kukuku, Evin snickered . He held the sword with both hands and steadily stared at his opponent (Frey) .

“No, it’s really great, Frey-kun was really strong . ”

Giren who was conflicted here, *haa* let out a sigh . The surrounding party was in a similar condition .

Yes, the intensive training has proven itself here . Simply, that might also have made Evin become serious .

“I will go serious this time!!”

Evin stepped into Frey’s area quickly with an attack that was far faster than the first one . This time, Frey might not have room to measure the timing . The second he stepped into the area, she intercepted with all her might .

*Clang* the shrill sound of metal clashing reverberated .

“HAHAHA, you blocked it well!!”

Before one was aware, Evin was holding the initiative . Frey somehow managed to prevent Evin’s charge . He repeated the conflict several times and this rivalry was broken at last .

Frey had gotten injured at last . There was 【Poison】 next to her status when I confirmed it .

“WAHAHAHAA, I have finally damaged you at last!!”

At once, Frey’s movements became dull . However, this isn’t a mental thing like that time in training . There was a decrease in status because she was violated by the poison .

Frey steadily suffered a second and third wound .

“HAHA, HAHA” (TL: Evin is an S)

Frey’s breathing became rough, it reached the point that her stance was destroyed when she swung her halberd .

“It ends here . ”

Evin was convinced it was his victory . Evin approached Frey in a relaxed manner . He already thought that there was no power left for Frey to swing the halberd

Heat creeps up and oozes out of the wound made by that guy .

My body shaked left to right, when I lose focus my eyelids dropped without permission .

The rough breathing did not cease no matter how much I inhaled .

This 【Poison】 . Hibiki said to never receive this . I was not able to follow what Hibiki said .

Is he angry? Perhaps, he might have already lost interest .

No . No . No . No . (TL: sounded good with 4 “no”)

With great pains, I was able to make friends with the goblins…

Captain Lalu helped me so that I could happily make friends with the other goblins .

The goblin who dual wields named [Musashi] by Hibiki, though it was a little bit of a poor talker, it treated me as its companion .

At first, I wasn’t able to to tell between the goblins, but now I know all the members now .

It will become impossible to meet them if I’m hated by Hibiki . It will become impossible to meet Hibiki himself .

“Haaa, Haaa . ”

I managed to breathe somehow by sticking my tongue out like a dog . (TL: Eros desu~)

Evin casually approached me . I threw all of my strength in my body into my hand to grasp the halberd, but the best I could do was to resist dropping it .

“It ends here . ”

No way . I don’t want to give up anymore .

Anything was fine . Any method will do . I’d like to win against this fellow .

I’ll do anything to win against this fellow . I want to win even if I fight like Hibiki .

Something, isn’t there anyway to win against him?

Evin raises his sword .

That’s right, 【Poison】 doesn’t matter . I should just move my body .

No matter what happen after this, it’s fine . Move!! My body!!

I wrenched my body and dodged the blade approaching before my eyes . It didn’t seem that I could completely dodge it and my wounds increased again . Who cares!?

“GAAAAAA!!”

A little bit of power returned to the hand that grips the halberd . This may make swinging this halberd (fellow) easier .

I griped the halberd with all the power of my body, I scolded my trembling body and thrust out with the halberd .

“GWUAHHAA!!”

Exactly, the ferrule of the halberd plunged into this fellow’s body . This fellow collapsed painfully holding his chest .

“It’s wonderful!! Frey!! It’s your win!!”

Giren runs up here . He seems to say various things, but I only hear a buzzing sound in my ears now .

“Good job, Frey . It was quite a good fight . ”

Hibiki says something to me . In spite of the fact that what he said wasn’t audible, it should be good thing thinking from his expression .

Hibiki thrusts something into my mouth . The taste that I got used to drinking in these few days, the physical strength recovery potion .

The heat went down from my body only by a little . But my whole body went *creeeak* when I moved, it was painful .

“That’s right, should I use detoxification?”

Moreover, while Hibiki said something, he groped my body as if looking for something . Hey, there is nothing here!!

“Here, look . ”

He poked a finger in my mouth this time . What don’t!! I thought so, but there was something rolling around my mouth .

Oh, is this a detoxification pill? When I swallow without hesitation, I’m thinking my body became a little at ease .

“Miss Flora, announce her as the victor . ”

Giren brought young lady Flora .

Young lady Flora didn’t worry about dirtying her dress, she squat down to look at me and spoke .

I’m happy to talk to young lady Flora as it is…

“Hack hack”

Voice didn’t come out . Instead, deep red blood had spurted out from my mouth .

“Frey, thank for your hard work . Have a good rest . ”

A deep red dagger was being gripped by the hand of the young lady .

(TL Note: Awww… . . this cliff hanger . Always knew that Flora was a bitch when introduced) .
