Chapter 16
Chapter 16 . While feeling good
“Your highness!”
Fortis scread out, he sounds really desperate . Helena looked up . Her smile vanished as it changed with a pale look . I looked high up to the sky too . Arrows were flying down just like rain . Outside of the fort, rows of soldiers holding bows were seen .
Clearly they were concentrating their attack on this point . . They must’ve planned to fire off loads of arrow once they saw the figure of Helena-hi .
“Fuuu . ”
I swung the cursed sword and flung away all the arrows around Helena-hi . I managed to blow away the arrows in succession but there was one that was left out but in the end I knocked it down .
Clearly leaving aside the arrow that had missed .
“Amazing…”
“What an amazing sword handling… . ”
Helena and Fortis were both astonished .
There was more arrows coming towards Helena-hi, disregarding the rain of arrows behind my back while I was facing against Helena-hi, just like before . I blew off all the incoming arrows .
“I’m here . Everything’s gonna be daijobu . ”
“Yes… . ” Helena-hi regained her smile . Um . . I’m fine with that . But, the looked that she had on her face is different when she looked at this ti . “That sword, could it be Eleanor?”
“What?!”
When Fortis heard what Helena-hi had said, his eyes was wide opened . The both of them were looking at the cursed sword that I got on my hand . Eleanor, were they talking about her?
“Cursed Sword Eleanor, eats the heart and destroy your mind—the legendary Cursed Sword . ”
“That form, and that ominous aura . There is no mistaken, that is Eleanor, please back down Your Highness . ”
Fortis ca in between and Helena-hi .
… . . Um, right . The information is right . As a knight, for Fortis action to protect Helena-hi is right .
However, I was sowhat a little bit sad . It can’t be helped that they don’t know that I am still okay even though I’m holding the cursed sword but I am sowhat sad being treated like this .
As I was about to explain myself to clear the misunderstanding,
“Fortis-sama!”
This ti the sounds of the soldier screaming interrupted us, it was a scout soldier who was at a very high up point .
“What happened?”
“The enemy’s reinforcent had co from the front gate . ”
“They are sending even more troops… . what are the numbers?”
“I think there are about 1 000 people . ”
“1000? That traitorous Cyrillic bastard! Did he sent all the soldiers to this direction?! Does he really want Royal Highness life that much?!” Fortis spat out feeling annoyed .
Thus, I made a suggestion .
“Anyway, let us get away from this place imdiately . ”
“Yeah, I agree . I will regroup with the guard that we have left and you will leave with Royal Highness……”
“Rather than that, how many soldier that we have left?”
I didn’t wait for Fortis to finish and interrupted him .
“About 50…”
50 soldiers huh . If that’s’ the case it seems possible but, if it didn’t work we can just split them into smaller group .
“Please assemble all of them here . ”
“What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t worry about that and hurry up . ”
I urged him to hurry, however Fortis didn’t moved . Was he hesitating? Seriously, we don’t have such ti for that now .
“Fuoo—-”
“Fortis, do like what Kakeru-sama had said . ”
“… . . wa . ”
Helena-hi said, and Fortis reluctantly ordered the soldier to assemble . All of the soldier had finally assembled when the last soldier that was holding the fort’s gate latch ca running .
I bring out the warp right .
“Well then, here we go . ”
“What are you—–”
I heard Fortis question, but as we don’t have enough ti I ignored him . I recalled the ti when I was on my way to here . To the nearest place where there is no enemy, in Euboi . With Euboi as the destination, I prayed .
The scenery changed and we properly reached Euboi . I looked at the surrounding . Helena-hi is present so does Fortis the entire soldier that was covered in bruise . I managed to bring everyone, it looks like it was a success .
“…What exactly had happened . ”
“I will properly explain everything later . Putting that aside, we managed to teleport to this place but is this place okay?” Just in case, I asked Fortis .
“A, ah . This place should be safe . ”
“I see, well then I’ll leave it to you from here on . ”
“Leave it to ? What will you do?”
“Helena-him, I’ll be going off for a while . ”
“May the fortune of war be with you . ” Helena-hi replied imdiately . Looks like she knew what I was up to .
Using the Warp Wing, I went back to the fort .
“There’s no one here! What is happening!”
“There are only corpses here . ”
“That is impossible! They were here just now . ”
To play it safe, I teleported to a shade that I seen before . From all over that place, I can hear the voice of the soldiers . They ca rushing in after the Guardian Knight had gone but when they got in, they didn’t see anyone which caused them to be greatly surprised .
“Now then, shall I do it?”
(Do what?)
“Helena-hi is safe now, so I’m thinking to deal with them here and now . ”
(All by yourself?)
“Yeah, Fortis looked like he’s quite worn out too . His subordinate are all bruised up too . It’s better if I deal with it myself . ”
Though what I had said was only an excuse; the real reason is,
(I know that even though you said that, all you want to do is to show off to Helena-hi don’t you?)
She guessed it correctly .
“…can you read other’s mind?”
(From the way you act, everyone can see through you)
… . well, I guess so .
(You show off…)
I was teased . I ca out from the shade while feeling a little bit displeased .
“There’s one over here!”
The search soldier scread out when he saw . The enemies co one after another from around the area . If I’m not mistaken, from the report that I heard before there’s supposed to be about 1 000 enemies .
It’s the number of people who’s going to be my opponent for the first ti . Up until now the biggest amount of army that I had ever fought with was with the undead army that the Cursed Sword had summoned and it was around one hundred or so . In terms of number, the opponent that I have now are about 10 tis larger .
I’ll be able to manage it one way or another . If I sohow unable to do it, I can just warp using the wing .
“Ah, no . ” I think back . I took out the warp wing . I warped behind the enemy that was right in front of . I slash the defenceless back of the enemy . The enemy unable to resist fall upon my attack . On the other side, there was another one . Sa like earlier, I suddenly appeared behind his back and swing the cursed sword .
Warp and slash .
(What a bad way of fighting)
The voice of the cursed sword reverberated in my brain, however opposite to what she had said, from her tone alone she sounds like she was having fun . I laughed with my lips alone, even more enemies appeared . I cut them head on .
I warped and cut their back . I swing the cursed sword and cut them down indiscriminately . Cut, and cut and kept on cutting .
“Uoooooooo!!”
Out of no where a soldier ca jumping right at . As it was too sudden, I fall forward due to the pushing force .
“This sort of thing——Guu!!”
I stood up from where I had fallen off but one after another soldier started to jump on . On top of the other soldier, there were other soldiers and even more soldiers above them .
One after another, the soldier started to weigh on , in a blink of an eye a small hill was ford .
“Now is the ti!!!”
“Soone kill him!”
I have completely pushed down onto the ground, I was unable to muster my strength and thus I was not able to get up . A different soldier ca near to . A spear was then aid at my head .
I’m in pinch!
Yeah, but that was only up to yesterday . I used the warp wing . Leaving only the soldier that had ford a small hill, I teleported to 1 ter away to the sideway .
I stood upright as if nothing had happened .
I cut down the small human hill into two .
“Why, why did he…”
“Mo, it’s a monster!”
“How can we fight against sothing like that!”
Seeing that scene, quite a number of the soldier lost their fighting spirit and ran away . I cut down the one that ca onto my way . I left those who had lost their fighting spirit alone .
“Eii, out of the way!”
After quite a while, I pushed the soldier away and one man appeared before . From the outer appearance, he looked quite different from the others . He was wearing a splendid armor .
“You’re?”
“I’m Cyrillic Slavic . What are you! Where di Helena-hi went?”
That man is called Cyrillic, I felt like I’ve heard the na before .
“So you’re Cyrillic huh? The one who betrayed Helena-hi?”
“What if I did?”
“No, there’s nothing wrong . ”
There’s nothing wrong indeed .
Zashuu!
I swung the cursed sword crosswise and Cyrillic got his head sacked . “And there’s no reason for you to be left alive too . ”
Cyrillic is dead and the other soldiers went into panic mode and started running away rushingly .
After I throw away Cyrillic body into the well at the fort, I bring Cyrillic head with and wrapped back to Euboi City and pass the head over to Fortis .
Fortis was greatly surprised and he asked how exactly did I achieve such feat . As I cannot give any other better answer other than I cut and cut and kept on cutting, I replied him exactly as what I had been doing earlier .
Fortis was extrely shocked, but that was not worth my concern . Rather than that right about my heart I had this uneasy feeling, I wonder what was it about .
“I am…”
“Eh?”
Suddenly Fortis expression had turned serious . “I’ve heard my subordinates who return from their first battle often say this: If you are feeling uneasy, try embracing a woman…”
TLN : Not sure — 「はじめて戦場から帰ってきた部下によくこういう。心をもてあましたら、女でも抱いてみろ、と」
It was quite irritating to being seen through but, for making able to understand it, he have my gratitude for that .
Let’s mofu mofu .
I’m going to mofu mofu Miu, Mofu mofu her, and kept on mofu mofu her until morning co . If I do that, I’m sure my heart will calm down . I pulled out the warp wing and was about to teleport back to the mansion .
“Kakeru-sama . ”
I heard Helena-hi called out to . I turn to her direction and approach her .
“I am happy that you are fine more than anything . ”
“Um . ”
“My, there’s a wound on your face . ”
“Eh?”
I touched my face, on the part where I touched I could trace a cut wound . I don’t rember receiving any sort of damage . Maybe I got it when I was pushed down by the enemy lot .
Helena-hi pulled out sothing that looked like a handkerchief and wipe my face with it . I could feel the warmth being passed through the silk handkerchief . The fragrance tickled my nose .
The feeling of nausea—was welling up in my chest . After Helen-hi finished wiping my face, she looked at .
She kept on looking at and she closed her eyes after that . I took her delicate shoulder, and kissed her .
