Chapter 304
CHAPTER 304 – AN AGITATED DOGGY
On our way back to Reuisu from Dunamis’s “palace” .
I’m carrying the envelope that holds her “imperial edict”, walking while looking at it .
「What are you going to do with that?」
Agnes asked with a lighter tone than usual .
「I’ll give it to Iris」
「Princess Iris……one of Teresia’s Twin Flowers, the one in charge of rcouri’s internal affairs」
「Yeah」
「Are you serious?」
Agnes looked at .
She is literallyーーno, she had eyes that even looked as if she’s asking if I’m out of my mind .
「I plan to, why?」
「That woman, isn’t she just soone who’s full of herself even calling herself an Emperor, going too far in pretending . Why in the world would you give her sothing like that」
「I’ll let Iris judge whether she’s just really pretending or not」
『Kukuku』
Eleanor laughed amusedly, so I flicked her blade with a finger .
As usual, a beautiful clear sound echoed .
『What’s the matter, Okaa-san』
『No, I just wondered who’s this man going to judge . Is it that Emperor, or is it that Princess?』
I flicked Eleanor with my finger again .
You’re seeing through too much .
If the contents of Dunamis’s imperial edict is just as she said, she’s not all but words .
Although she could show off her authority calling herself the Emperor, the idea of improving the road from the viewpoint of logistics would not co out of nowhere .
In fact, I saw so parts of the roads around Reiusu that are obsolete just like she said .
It’s true that it is better to fix them .
In fact, as a person who has a mansion situated in Reiusu, I found it as a reasonable “command” .
『And you would judge what Princess Iris would do after seeing thatーーhow distasteful』
I gave her another flick of my finger .
I’m not being distasteful, it’s trustーーI thought, but I didn’t say it out loud .
More importantly, I found sothing that made more curious .
Agnes, a skilled adventurer who has a huge sword as a weapon, walking beside .
For so reason, she’s making a disgruntled face .
「What’s the matter?」
「Eh?」
「You sowhat seem to be in a bad mood」
「YouーーI-It’s nothing!」
Agnes quickly looked away .
She faced the other direction, but I could see her ear red to its base .
「Is soone like that……your type or sothing?」
I heard her muttering sothing again .
I wondered what she ant, does she an it like “that”ーーbut when I was thinking like that .
Ahead of us, I saw a wriggling green color .
It’s not the grass on the ground swayed by the wind . It’s a large group of Rotten Slis .
I took a quick glance and counted roughly 300 of them .
「There’s still this manyーーno, I should say that they increased this much . Well, of course the guild would take action」
「Eh?」
「Look」
I pointed with my finger . Agnes also noticed the group of Rotten Slis .
「It’s true……what in the world is happening」
「Who knows . Well then, there’s the thing with Dunamis’s imperial edict to, so let’s clean them up since we’ve already t them」
I held Eleanor and Hikari tightly .
「Let’s do this, Eleanor, Hikari」
『Kukuku, you are going to use for a woman huh』
『Hikari will do her best〜! O-chan and the others can go out any ti〜』
The mother and daughter Demon Swords showed eagerness . I was about to charge, but .
Agnes attacked the Rotten Slis using her huge sword even quicker than I did .
She seed to be not affected by her huge sword that looks quite heavy . She charged towards them with considerable speed, swinging her sword as soon as she reached her attacking distance, then swung it around horizontally .
She swept away several Rotten Slis by making use of the centrifugal force made by swinging her huge sword around, but she created an opening at the sa ti . A different sli attacked her taking advantage of that opening .
「Tch!」
It can’t be helped .
I stomped the ground, rushing towards her and cleaving through the several slis that attacked her .
「T-That was unneeded!」
「The way you move is especially not suitable for fighting by yourself」
Just like before we went to Dunamis’s place, I created clones and reproduced Io’s party’s movents .
I copied Agnes who charged in, cleaved around, and fall into a tight spot again .
The clones that acted as Julia and Io supported that clone .
「Do you understand now? There’s no problem since it would be like that when you’re in a party . However, you should change your movents when you’re fighting alone」
Agnes hesitated, she stopped moving .
She had an expression of not knowing what to do .
I stopped creating clones and put Hikari back to her sheatheーーI’m now only using Eleanor .
I slashed, dodged, waited for a mont, then slashed again .
「Taking turns……you should think of it as having different exchanges . Just like how you created an opening when you attacked, most of your enemies are the sa . You should deal with the enemy’s attack, blocking or parrying, then counterattack」
「……!」
Although Agnes made a frustrated frown for an instant, she fixed her grip on her sword, and charged towards the Rotten Slis again .
This ti, she didn’t charge without thinking . She closed the distance, waited for the enemy’s attack to fumble, then counterattacked .
Her movents got a lot better .
Unlike her first charge attack that looked dangerous from the beginning, she’s now fighting reliably enough .
「……」
Agnes glanced at .
I felt that I was being asked if what she’s doing is fine .
No, it’s not in that level . She’s not just asking that .
I know that look in her eyes . I know a few won who had that look .
『Kukuku, she’s as if a doggy who wants to be praised』
Eleanor said amusingly .
I felt the sa .
“I did it as you told you know? Praise , praise ?”
An impossible tone was played using Agnes’s voice inside my head .
She looked at just like that .
「You’re doing fine . However, you should get better . Even enemies who attack as a group has breaks within attacking and defending just like when fighting an individual . You should train yourself to be able to do that」
「H-Hmph! I know that!」
Agnes scoffed and looked away . She continued to slash at the Rotten Slis .
Although she was red to the base of her ears .
“It was really like that,” I thought .
The group of Rotten Slis naturally got into two smaller groups . Half of them attacked Agnes, but they were played around by her new movents, gradually reducing their numbers .
Seeing her fight reliably .
I looked at the remaining half of the Rotten Slis, and moved faster than any one of them .
Chopping all of them with my Demon Sword .
