Nobusada who was crossing swords with Living Armor showed a faint smile . I don't feel an overwhelming gap like I do with Master . I'm not getting toyed around with by its techniques like Eleanor-san does on me . It's true that its skill with swords befits that of a rank A adventurer, but I don't feel that large of a gap between us . Besides, I'm somehow managing to follow its moves . The odd feelings I had been experiencing since I first wielded Lunar Cat has gone too . I'm focusing wholly in evading and slashing .
Living Armor follows me around as it tries to sweeps with its shield, and slashes with its sword . This Living Armor may seem sluggish, but its two hands where the shield and the long sword are move real fast and sharp . However, its legs aren't moving that nimbly, its ability as a former rank A adventurer must be inhibited . And it probably cannot stray too far off its master, the idiotic brat, without permissions . It's not coming to me when I get to a certain distance .
From that position, I'll try shooting magic at it . Not fireball or ice bullet that could be physically thwarted, but lightning . Normally you can't physically thwart fireballs either though .
"Thunder!"
Lightning shot out of Nobusada's palm, going toward Living Armor as if it was getting sucked in . . . and really did get sucked in to its shield . After a short pause, Living Armor bashed its shield forward . A jewel that was thought to be an ornament in the center of the shield shot out lightning at Nobusada .
"Owaa, whoa whoa whoa, Earth Wall!!"
Nobusada deployed a wall of soil in a panic . The lightning disappeared into the ground .
Umu, it could reflect magic back as well as cutting it huh . Well, I'll be . I'm still managing to cross swords with it, but it's really tough . It's numbing my hands, I might slip off and let go of Lunar Cat before long . I'd like to distract it with magic and then cut off its joints during the opening . And destroy or at least blow away the portion while I'm at it . It shouldn't be able to magnetically stick its body parts back like some kind of steel man somewhere, I think .
Living Armor began to move again when I entered its range .
"Goo! Do iit! Charge, finish him off!!!"
The idiotic brat is getting excited . But thanks for telling me its next moves . Wonder if he even gets it?
An even sharper sword slash is coming at me . However, perhaps it's because it's been given manual orders? It feels like its attack pattern has gotten a bit monotonous, easier to handle .
I'm not gonna come out unscathed if it hits me . Got a feeling that mana would be diffused, and Mana Clad and even protections would disperse on that sword . Using Discerning Magic Eye, I memorize, analyze and keep repeating them on each swings, while looking for the right timing .
And when Living Armor makes a large swing at me, I choose that timing .
"Air Thruster!"
I accelerate with magic and jump into its bosom . Then I swing down Lunar Cat at the base joint of its right arm .
The armor was hollow, but I could feel Lunar Cat cutting off some kind of joint part, then its right arm fell down just like that . In no time flat, I kicked away that arm . It crashed into the wall and fell down .
The way to use and explanation about the new weapon skill I just got flashed on my mind . This is . . . I can do it with this!
I jump backward to put some distance and ready Lunar Cat against Living Armor . Even after losing its right hand, it still moves like before . I made a move first .
"Majestic Collapsing Stone Fist <<Titan Crash>>!"
This was the spell I used to crush adventurers groins back then, but it's different this time . Three stone pillars lift up below Living Armor's left arm .
CLANK
The stone pillars flicked Living Armor's left arm upward . Now that it's defenseless, I accelerate diagonally upward with 『Air Thruster』 and slash down from above .
"Weapon Skill 『Vibrating Blade - Destruction』!"
I used the newly acquired weapon skill, and then the instant Lunar Cat hit Living Armor, its blade raised a high pitched noise . The blade that would have been repelled back if it was just a normal downward swing easily cut Living Armor like butter . Living Armor that had been cut in two couldn't support itself and fell to the ground .
The idiotic brat seemed to be agape when he saw that scene . Naturally, after that much boasting, someone he verbally abused as lesser cut his prized Living Armor in two with a single slash . I mean, this technique is pretty amazing . Is this like, a high frequency blade? I dunno how it works, but I felt like I just could do it . Hum, I'd like to know the particulars, but the explanation's no good . Here's it on my Status field . Discerning-sensei sure is quick at his job .
Weapon Skill 『Vibrating Blade - Destruction』 The secret art martial art instructor of Hinoto Empire's imperial household, Shinsuke Tokuda arrived at in his dying moments after achieving enlightenment . As his apprentices were watching over Shinsuke on the verge of death, he suddenly stood up and went to the courtyard with a katana in his hand . With trembling hands, he lightly touched a sakura tree in the courtyard with his sword, and just like that, the tree was cut in two . His apprentice who bore witness of that spectacle, Juuzou Tougo established that as the school's innermost secret art, or so it's been handed down .
Is it really okay for me to learn the secret art of a school so easily . And how did I even learn it . I repeat, I have absolutely no clue! But I'll be sure to make good use of this . It's really exhausting though . This is the first time I've ever used a weapon skill, it's taken quite a bit of my stamina .
Glancing to the side, Kagura-san has defeated Dave too . She's gotten smaller somehow, but all's well I guess? All left is to take care of Kurei-san, and it should be smooth sailing . However, things seldom go as you wish . . .
"Kurei, Futsuno . Restrain those guys! No need to hold baaack . "
Kurei-san ran toward Kagura-san afterward . I could hear Mitama's pained voice from behind . Ah, geez . This guy just doesn't know when to give up! <TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . > "Air Bind x3!!"
I didn't use this spell on Living Armor since it would easily brute force its way out of it, but it's effective enough on these three . Bound by air shackles, all three have stopped on their tracks, idiotic brat as is, Kurei-san right before she reached Kagura-san, Futsuno-san with both her hands in air .
"Hii, you can still use magic after all that!? J-just what are you . W-what are you gonna do to me . Go on and try it if you don't care what happens to Futsuno!"
Ah, hearing you uttering Futsuno-san's name is getting irritating already . I cast Air Bind on his mouth to stop him from talking . He's gasping in pain, I care not .
I walk to where Futsuno-san is, and whisper on her ear . In a volume as low as possible so other people can't hear it .
"Futsuno-san, you should be able to hear me now, don't you . I will now attempt to free you from that corset . I'm going to use a certain skill, but whether it will effective or not depends on Futsuno-san . I'd be glad if you could give me your consent after listening to me . "
I don't know whether she still retains her awareness or not, but I will speak in serious tone . The things I've been keeping in my mind .
"I like Futsuno-san . However, I also like Mitama and Kagura-san . I understand if you're disgusted by my lack of integrity . However, it is my dream to make everyone happy . That's why, please stay by my side Futsuno-san . If possible, would you be willing to walk together with me till death do us part?"
I wish for that skill to activate while talking . I've only ever used it once . And without realizing at that .
Silence rules the place for a while . Right when I thought 'as expected she didn't accept it, let's look for another way', an announcement resounded in my head .
Tettere~♪ Futsuno has displayed feelings of affection . Activating Differing Soul Telephaty Lv2 .
Beep, beep ♪ error came up, no really . There's something trying to obstruct the process . Please directly pour your mana into the target .
No-Goddess announcer sure has no feelings of tension . Pouring mana into her means . . . Argh, we've got no time, just act before complaining . Nobusada, it's time to show that you're a man!
I kiss Futsuno-san on the lips to pour my mana into her . Sefi-san taught me a way to counter orally taken curses, but I never would have thought I would do the reverse here . As I'm pouring mana into her, the corset on her waist is blinking as if resisting . Not sure how much mana I should give . My mana was wrapping Futsuno-san's body like it was Mana Clad when our lips parted .
Crackle crackle crackle
POP
The corset couldn't endure it anymore and popped off . Along with the wedding dress Futsuno-san is wearing, which ends up showing many stuff . I hurriedly undo Futsuno-san's binding, took a sheet from my rucksack and covered her with it . Confirming with Discerning-sensei, her State has gone back to normal . Looks like it's a success . She seems to have fallen unconscious due to the forceful insertion of mana, but she should be fine right? She even looks to be grinning a bit after all .
" . . . Nobu . I'll listen to what you have to say later . "
Yup, Mitama is staring at me hard . I shall explain everything, so please forgive me .
That aside, it's spanking time for the idiotic brat .
