Part 10 

Just as the trio were about to return to the Headquarters, a sudden disturbance could be felt in the air. 

At the same time that they lifted their heads to look for the source, a ray of brownish light shone over from a distance away and Leticia immediately gave a loud cry: 

“That beam of light……is that the Ray of Medusa?! Not good! I’ve been found!” 

Following her panicked cries, Leticia stood before them to shield them with her body, thinking to protect them from the harm of the brown murky ray. 

Understanding the nature of that ray, Kuro Usagi gave a scream in grief while staring at the distance. 

“A Flag that depicts the head of Medusa……? No……It’s not going to work! Please move aside and dodge it! Leticia-sama!” 

But Kuro Usagi’s shout didn’t seem to have much of an effect for Leticia who had been bathed in the brown ray had already been petrified into a stone statue that fell to the side to lie upon the ground. 

From the direction where the ray had been emitted from, there appeared to be a large group of guys who were dressed up as knights while wearing flying sandals that had wings sprouting from its sides. And they were rushing towards Leticia in their formation. 

“Target found! The vampire has already been petrified. Secure her immediately!” 

“There’s also some [No Name] guys around, what are your orders?” 

“If they try to impede our mission, you are free to silence them!” 

Hearing the words of the Aerial Knights, Izayoi gave a displeased and fierce smile as he said: 

“What a headache. This is the first time in my life that I've been taken so lightly, just like an accessory. Should I clap my hands to celebrate this occasion? Or should I just follow my rage and teach them a lesson that they will never forget? Kuro Usagi, which do you think is a better choice?” 

“Any…Anyways, let’s just go back to the protection of the Headquarters!” 

Although the petrified Leticia was worrying, there seemed to be a greater problem at hand currently. 

After all, Leticia was still a possession of [Perseus]. For her to run around without the consent of her master, it was natural that there wasn't ground for any valid complaints. Moreover, [Perseus] was also a part of the branch Communities in [Thousand Eyes] and in the case of a dispute, it would be difficult to imagine any improvements to the situation. 

After Kuro Usagi frantically pulled Izayoi into the Headquarters, three of the Aerial Knight squad left their formation to descend to the ground and surrounded the petrified Leticia. While Kuro Usagi and Izayoi hid behind the door to observe the situation outside. 

And as the men who were dressed up like knights surrounded and started to use a rope to secure the petrified Leticia, their expressions conveyed their sense of relief. 

“My, my, with this, it’s done at last……It sure scared me a little when I thought that she would run again.” 

“Yeah, it’s quite a large scale trade that was lucrative enough to make us cancel the Gift Game without hesitation. If we had messed up, we of [Perseus] would have been unable to stay on in [Thousand Eyes].” 

“It’s not only that. Although it’s located outside the Little Garden’s Cities, the other trading partner is a Community that is of a national scale. If the goods were to be stolen—“ 

“Did you say outside Little Garden cities?!” 

Kuro Usagi’s cry halted the men who were in about to lift Leticia away. 

Hearing the voice of a [No Name] member, the men had immediately taken offense and deemed it to be a hampering of their mission as they turned their hostile gazes towards Kuro Usagi. 

However, Kuro Usagi ignored their hostility as she rushed over to protest: 

“What’s that about?! The Vampires—[Knights of Little Garden] can only withstand the rays of the Sun within the cities of Little Garden you know?! But for you to send a Vampire just like that out of the Cities of Little Garden……!” 

“That’s the deal closed by my leader. Outsiders are to mind their own business!” 

The Knight coldly replied before using the winged sandals to take to the skies. 

And returning to the squadron in the skies where close to a hundred heavily armored Knights were waiting for orders above the Headquarters of [No Name]. 

In fact, the unauthorized entry into another Community’s Headquarters was a terrible insult to the invaded Community and wouldn't do well for the invading Community if the news spread about it. Normally speaking, the Merchant Community [Thousand Eyes] that looked upon trust as its main core value wouldn't do such a rude and unreasonable act. And it was clearly a move taken due to their arrogance that didn't see Kuro Usagi and the others as a threat, being merely a [No Name] Community. 

“You… You horrid incorrigible people…! Having made so many insults towards us, do you really not intend to apologize for your rudeness?! How dare you guys continue to raise the Twin Goddess Flag with that attitude! Are you guys really that thick skinned?” 

“Hmph, to talk politely to such a low level Community located at the lowest of the low levels, that’s even more shameful to our Flag! Being one of the mere [No Name] Community, you should show some awareness of your position!” The men of [Perseus] mocked the agitated Kuro Usagi. 

“What….What did you say?!” 

Kuro Usagi's body seemed to emit a crackling sound as rage coursed through her entire being. Their treatment towards Leticia and the insults piled upon her Community as well as their insolence for invading had driven Kuro Usagi to the boiling point. 

The knights gave a laugh at the sight of Kuro Usagi trembling with rage as they taunted: 

“Hmph, do you want to go up against us?” 

“How foolish, for a [No Name] that could not even protect their own Flag, there’s no way for them to put up a fight with us at all.” 


“You shameless guys! May our Flag bear witness today as Kuro Usagi issues judgment upon your acts of insolence!” 

The Knights continued to rain down their curses and insults while raising their Flag depicting Medusa’s head up high while fanning out to form a semicircle around Kuro Usagi. But all those insults were no longer heard by Kuro Usagi who started to smile in a cold and dangerous manner. 

Staring at the Knights while smiling that slow and dangerous smile, which was out of her usual character, she chided them: 

“Hng…Hng Hng…… How courageous of you. Looks like you guys have amassed quite a number of those Famous Gifts, but do you really think that you will grow any stronger with those sort of replicas?” 

“What?” 

It was now the Knight’s turn to be enraged. Kuro Usagi allowed her black hair to change to a light shade of red as she leaped into the skies to intimidate the Knights. 

“Outrageous…….yes that’s right, it’s downright outrageous! To actually cause the [Moon Rabbit]: innocent, honest, upright, romantic and also the symbol of sacrifice that has been sung in praise to be angered to such an extent……!” 

The surrounding air pressure was suddenly charged up to create a heaviness in the air and a power, causing them to experience difficulty in breathing, that assaulted the Knights. And the Knights were suddenly thrown into confusion as the pressure, exuded by Kuro Usagi, weighted down upon them. 

And at the moment when Kuro Usagi had raised her right arm, a sharp screech that sounded like the ripping of the atmosphere itself was released and the boom of the explosion similar to thunder had filled the air while a long spear that sparked and shimmered like lightning was now held in her right hand. 

Seeing that, the Knights faltered in their stance. 

“A Gift that appears together with the sound of thunder……Could…Could that be Indra’s weapon?! Laius-sama did not disclose this information to us!” 

“No…Impossible! How can a Divine weapon be possessed by one of the lowest Communities…?!” 

“It can’t be the real thing! It must be a replica like ours!” 

Kuro Usagi used a back hand grip on the spear that continued to spark with an electrical lightning charge as she said: 

“If you cannot determine its authenticity with your eyes—Then use your bodies to experience the truth!” 

As the surrounding air was expanded by the increased thermal energies, it gave off a thunderous boom while Kuro Usagi’s hair gave off a light similar to the rainbows from a prism as it slowly dyed over from a shade of red to blue. 

Just as Kuro Usagi was about to launch the Indra’s spear into the air, Izayoi suddenly appeared behind her back. 

“Oi!” 

“Uwa!” 

And used his strength to pull on Kuro Usagi's rabbit ears. As her hand slipped, the Indra’s spear had flown in a totally different direction accompanied by a thunderous explosion to strike the skies of Little Garden and release enough lightning and heat to illuminate the veil for many miles around. 

“Calm down! Do you want to pick a fight with Shiroyasha?! Even though I've been controlling myself, you have been enjoying yourself without me? What is the meaning of this? Huh, tell me.” 

“Uwa! Sorry! Is that the reason why you are angry?” 

And Izayoi had been pulling at Kuro Usagi's ears with a rhythmic and strong force to get his point across. 

“Itai! Itai neh! It’s really painful, Izayoi-san!” 

That last part wasn't just simple strong tugs anymore, but Izayoi had simply lifted Kuro Usagi off the ground by the roots of the rabbit ears. 

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It’s….It’s time for you to stop it already, Izayoi-san! Please be aware of the time to play around and the time that you shouldn't do this, okay?! Now, Kuro Usagi needs to let those rude guys have a taste of Divine punishment……” 

“They have already gone back, you know?” 

“Eh?! They ran a little too fast, didn't they?” 

However, the hundred men strong squadron that had disappeared in a flash like smoke in the winds were unable to fool her eyes. 

“No……This isn't right……Could it be that they are using some kind of invisibility Gift?” 

“If the Community of [Perseus] is the same as the one that I know of, then it is without a doubt that that's the case…..But the world of Little Garden sure is wide, to actually have the existence of Flying Sandals and the Invisibility Helmet as well.” 

Izayoi nodded his head in pensiveness as Kuro Usagi glared at him fiercely. Releasing his hold on her ears, Izayoi shook his head at her reaction. “I understand your feelings, but now isn't the best time to act. Though I don’t really mind, but if [No Name] were to have a dispute with [Thousand Eyes], that would be bad wouldn't it?” 

“Well….That’s also true…” 

“If you want to know more details on the trade, we can just follow the rules to find it out. There are others who are also clear about the situation right?” 

Kuro Usagi seemed to have picked up on his meaning and realized with a start. Since it’s Shiroyasha who brought Leticia over, then she might just be in the loop about the business trade as well. 

“Call the other guys over.” 

“Eh? But…There’s still that thing that happened in the morning.” 

“Then calling ochibi-sama and Ojou-sama over will do nicely. I’m getting a whiff of gunpowder in the air and the worst-case scenario would be the start of a Game on the spot. Since that’s a possibility, wouldn't it be better to bring a few more people along?” 

—Forget it, even if that's the case, it would be enough with me alone. 

Although that’s what Izayoi really thought in his mind, he wouldn't say that out loud. After all, he was a person who could read the situation around him. But that would only be his claim.
