Chapter 172
Chapter 172 - Let's Attack
The story of Yumika's arrival started after breakfast .
「Eh, the Rainbow Heart is being aimed at?」
Yumika was staying at the Barnes residence while Kazane and the others were on the quest . That was proposed by Lyle and Emily's mother, Maris .
After spending all day at the dojo, she had eaten dinner and taken a bath there and was told she was welcome to stay . The hotel charge was being paid by the Barnes family, and Louise was staying with Tiara at her mother's house, so now it was only her staying there . She was alone . There was no reason to refuse .
After early morning training, she had taken a bath to wash off the sweat, and after having breakfast in the dining room, Yumika was called out to by a maid and guided to Cindy's room .
And it was there that she was told about the Rainbow Heart in Kazane's possession being aimed at by Outer .
「Since it seems it was flashily shown off in Dongol City, something like this was likely to happen sooner or later . 」
「Ah, that?」
Yumika held her head . If she remembered correctly, Kazane had Hippo-kun Clear hold the Rainbow Heart in its mouth .
「Well, I don't really have to worry about Kazane-san, but . . . 」
Cindy had heard『Jiraid isn't even a match for her』from Jinrai originally and had also heard further information about Kazane from Yumika . Cindy concluded that she could manage somehow or other against Outer . But it seemed she was still worried .
「I think it would be quite difficult for my grandchildren . 」
Cindy said . Jiraid and a humanized Godo were standing to the left and right of Cindy's chair, and both reacted with a twitch . Jiraid was their father, and Godo had watched them grow up . They were worried .
Certainly, Lyle and Emily had outstanding abilities for their age . But Cindy thought that since it was Outer . . . or rather, they might have insufficient ability to deal with being attacked by any large number of people
「So I was thinking, why not go for a bit and settle the problem?」
「Yes . . . who?」
「You . 」
Yumika sighed after Cindy's words .
Jiraid's wife Maris was a gentle person who had been kind to Yumika . Jiraid was inflexible in some ways, but he was a man who could be more considerate than he looked . However, the real boss of the Barnes family (the family head was Jiraid) was the strict quarter elf loli grandma-sama named Cindy . Unlike their first meeting with Jinrai, she was energetic . And while she was strict with other people, Yumika felt her attitude towards herself was particularly so .
She could manage and it didn't feel like it was malicious, but as an example, Cindy would show up in the middle of her training and push unreasonable challenges on her while saying things like「Since you're that person's favorite disciple, you can do it, isn't that right?」
Since Yumika was Yumika, she could complete everything, but she was completely unable to grasp what Cindy thought of her .
(I don't think she dislikes me . If I had to say, it's more like quarreling with a club senpai?)
More important than the challenges themselves, she may have been to trying to grasp Yumika's strength . By the way, Cindy was also a considerably skilled spear user .
「Well, this is a seed we sowed ourselves, right? I'll do it . 」
Yumika was reluctant, but she nodded .
「As expected of that person's favorite disciple」
The loli grandma-sama nodded with a smile . If it weren't for the slight wrinkles on her face, it would feel like she was talking to a teenager . As one would expect, it seemed a quarter elf aged a little faster than a full blooded one . Her ears were also only slightly pointed . Jiraid looked appropriate for a human his age, and Lyle and Emily had no elven features at all .
「So then, how about that bangle I handed over two days ago?」
「Yes . Fortunately, I've somehow learned to use it . Fornesia-san also shared some of her Dragon Spirit some time ago . 」
Fang Blaze Dragon Fornesia . It seemed she liked Yumika for some reason and came to visit every day .
「I see . That is something only that person's favorite disciple could do . 」
Cindy was a little astonished by Yumika's words . Even if she was capable, Cindy didn't expect her to learn to use the Dragon Contract Bangle in just two days . Also, Yumika had already completely the tasks assigned to her by Jinrai .
Although Yumika said it was an unreasonable demand, she finished the task that was supposed to take her two to three days to learn the day it was given . And that continued the second day . So Yumika had finished everything Jinrai had assigned her . It wasn't noticeable because she was simply learning things as she trained with Jinrai, but she learned things abnormally fast thanks to her『Innate Talent: Spear』Skill .
Although Cindy was astonished by that situation, she kept as calm as possible and continued talking to Yumika .
「That Dragon Contract Bangle is my hand-me-down and might be a little old fashioned, so sorry about that . 」
Yumika shook her head after Cindy's words .
「No . I understand Cindy-san's feelings . You're probably dissatisfied that I'm doing it instead, but I will protect master with Cindy's bracelet . 」
Yumika responded with rough nasal breathing .
The Dragon Contract Bangle was a safety device to prevent a Dragon Spirit runaway in the Dragon Knight by pooling and releasing excessive Dragon Spirit . And Cindy's bangles had the highest capacity, more than normal Dragon Contract Bangles .
Cindy was wearing several bangles, and she had a new one to replace the one she gave to Yumika . Cindy had that much Dragon Spirit to drain .
And since Cindy had worn the bangle for many years, the Dragon Spirit had crystallized inside the bangle, and an effect was born due to that long accumulation of Dragon Spirit . It allowed the person wearing it to use『Dragonoidization』like a Dragon Knight with the Dragon Spirit stored inside .
Yumika had received that bangle from Cindy two days ago . At that time, Cindy requested that Yumika help her husband instead of her as she handed over the bangle, since she couldn't leave Hyvern herself . Because of that, Yumika thought Cindy probably didn't hate him, even though she beat him severely .
「Well then . Jiraid, you take her . 」
The conversation was over, so Cindy told that to Jiraid beside her .
「Yes, Mother . 」
Jinrai responded, but after thinking for a short time, he turned to Cindy and asked .
「And, um, is it fine if I participate as well?」
Cindy pondered for a short time after Jiraid's words . Yumika thought (they're parent and child, after all) as she saw that behavior that was just like Jiraid .
「I don't think that will be necessary, though . 」
Cindy replied to Jiraid, but Jiraid had a grave facial expression .
「There is also intelligence that Assassin's Dagger Ijika is there . 」
