Chapter 82
Vampire Princess & Former Hero vs. Boundary General 2 Fall
Translated by AmaLynne
「There there!」
「Gghh…!」
I was completely on the defensive against the onslaught of Fleuretia-sama.
If it weren’t for Heavenly Eye Ars future prediction and mind-reading, I would have been beaten long ago.
I’m trying to keep my movements to a minimum and keep my distance, but if there’s an opening… No, this person doesn’t show any openings at all.
Her martial art skills are also monstrous. I think she could have a good match with Gray-san, even if it’s just a physical contest.
「What’s wrong, Lean-chan? If you don’t attack, you can’t win!」
「If I attack now, you’ll take my arm, right?」
I can see a future where I try to fight back, I will be beaten, through the Heavenly Eye Ars.
She’s too nasty and too strong, this person.
Yomi is…
「Gruuuuuuuuuuuuu!」
「Fast…! Kyah!」
…It looks like it’s not going to work yet.
There are fifteen minutes left until sunset when the moon’s blessing will kick in. Until then, I’ll have to handle this person by myself.
「No… Impossible, isn’t it?」
◆◇◆◇◆
Despite many dangerous moments, I managed to buy enough time.
Yomi is…will it be over soon? If I look away even a little, she will take advantage of the opportunity, so I can’t afford to look at Yomi.
But I was also attacked several times, even using Ars.
「Yeah, I understand most of it. Like Lean-chan’s movement habits, and how she uses her sacred artifact… The next one will decide it, okay?」
「…That’s scary. But I’m pretty strong, right?」
「I know that. After all, she was chosen by Phyllis… But Lean-chan was chosen as the second seat of the Four Demon Generals because of her combat strength, including the blessing of the moon. Her strength during the daytime, new moon, indoors, and when the sky is cloudy is not as good as the youngest, Gray-chan… Then, don’t you think there’s no need to be as cautious as Yomi over there?」
That’s a good argument, though frustrating.
My average status during the day is just over 20,000. Not even close to Yomi or Gray-san.
Only a few more minutes until sunset…five minutes. Can I survive until then?
Predicting the future while reading what she’s thinking by mind reading… That’s how I’ve been able to get by so far, just barely.
Tonight is the crescent moon. The rate of reinforcement is doubled. I’m not sure, but if I fight with Yomi, I can probably win.
But if you ask me if Yomi, who has lost her physical enhancement magic, and I, who has my magic blocked, can beat her by myself, the answer is no.
In other words, if I lose here, inevitably Yomi will probably lose too.
「I’m sorry, but my partner doesn’t want me to hurt as much as possible, so…I’ll just have to bear it.」
「Oh dear… I’ve heard that you love Yomi-chan, though.」
Hey, how did that story spread to this place?
「Well, it’s going to be a hassle if the moon’s blessing works on me, so I’ll end this quick… Hah!」
「――!? Close…」
「Yes, got you♪」
「――!? My leg…!」
The moment I tried to keep my distance, I noticed that my legs were not moving… When I looked, I saw a mysterious transparent square object attached to the leg.
This is…
「Ward…! A small-scale ward to hold my leg in place…!」
「Yes, I laid a trap for you in advance… I used to be the one who used the Heavenly Eye Ars. I know all its weaknesses.」
Right.
I could see a future where I would be stuck, I could read minds, and I knew that’s what Fleuretia-sama was after.
…But I was confused because I didn’t know the『how』and ended up getting caught.
「The future seen by the Heavenly Eye Ars is the future of the viewpoint scene you are looking at right now. In other words, if I set traps in areas that are not currently in your field of vision, your ability to predict the future is halved… I don’t have to tell you about mind reading. That thing can only read minds in fragments.」
「Kuu…! This thing, soon…」
「Yes, you could destroy it in a minute. But…do you think I won’t do something in the meantime?」
「――-!? Ah geez!」
…Sorry Yomi, this is impossible.
I don’t have the confidence to handle this person without moving from this spot.
I’ll buy you as much time as I can, so take down that magical beast in the meantime.
「I won’t lose next time.」
「My, so scary… Then, let’s start.」
Then, Fleuretia-sama attacked.
I anticipated everything by foresight and took it, giving priority to the attacks that aimed at the most vital points and ignoring the minor attacks.
But there were too many attacks aimed at the vital points, and I couldn’t handle them anymore.
Thirty seconds. That was the amount of time I was able to overcome Fleuretia-sama.
Finally, an attack that I couldn’t handle even with my future foresight pierced me, and a fist entered my abdomen.
「Gahh…」
「I didn’t expect you to last this long… Good luck next time, Lean-chan.」
Ah… Sorry, Yomi. Without the blessing of the moon, I’m so weak, I’m sorry…
And then, Fleuretia-sama put her hand to my neck, trying to knock me out…
「You, won’t!!」
「Wha!?」
「Eh? …Yomi?」
The hand was blocked by Yomi’s Diaz.
「Wha…the magic beast?」
「I already defeated it!」
I hurriedly looked in the direction Yomi was…I saw a tiger magic beast that had been completely cut down vertically into two pieces.
「A very high-rank magic beast with an average status of over 20,000, in such a short time without any physical enhancement magic… Apparently, I still underestimated you… I should say that you are the strongest in the current Demon Army.」
It seems that Fleuretia-sama’s attention has shifted to Yomi.
While we’re at it, this ward…
「Lean, are you okay?」
「Um, yes… Thank you for saving me.」
「Break the leg wards while you still can. The sun will be setting soon, so I’ll buy you some time.」
「Okay, but…!」
But then, Yomi is…
「Don’t worry. I’ll protect Lean.」
eh?
……eh?
…………eh???
……Who?
Who is this charming, handsome man smiling at me?
Where is that cute and adorable Yomi?
Where did that beautiful girl who made me feel like I had to protect her go?
…Eh, what? What is this feeling? This messed up feeling like my heart is being pulled from the outside, like my personality is being twisted.
The cute Yomi turned into the cool Yomi, but with a cute face, but with a cool look on her face……
Eh, ah……like……
「……hauu.」
「Eh? …Wait, eh!? Lean!?」
「Wow~ …This girl is the natural I’ve heard so much about… First time I’ve seen it.」
「W-What have you done to Lean!?」
「No, not me, you did…well, that’s okay…」
I heard such an exchange without my head understanding it, and I just let go of my consciousness.
AN: I put the word「fall」in the title.
It was Lean who fell. To Yomi.
Oops… I didn’t intend it to be such a crunchy yuri piece…
