Part 6
In the end, it seems that nee-san didn’t come back even after school.
Well, Zeta is here, and if something happens, it won’t be a problem.
I am in the backyard of the dorm, grilling dried horse mackerel that Zeta gave me. It’s already past lights out and it’s dark.
“I think it’s ready to roast.”
The crackling and delicious sound of horse mackerel fat falling onto the fire.
“Should I grill it a little more?”
It is not so bad to make an open fire alone like this.
It purifies the mind. People rot their hearts just by being alive.
As I gazed at the fire in a daze, I felt a presence approaching at a ridiculously fast pace.
“Boss!! I finally found you!!”
It was Delta who appeared, wiggling her dog ears.
“Yaa~. It’s late at night, so let’s be quiet.”
“Delta hunted the black jaguar!!”
“I see. It’s late at night, so let’s be quiet.”
“Then Alpha-sama praised me!!”
“That’s so. It’s late at night, so let’s be quiet.”
“I want my boss to praise me too!!”
“Yo~shi yoshi. Good girl.”
When I patted her head softly, Delta’s tail wagged.
“It’s late at night, so let’s be quiet.”
“I’ll be quiet!”
Replying energetically, Delta hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.
“Delta will speaks in a small voice.”
In a whispered voice, Delta said.
“Unn, do that.”
“Delta dug the hole as Boss told me.”
Little by little, her voice becomes louder.
“A hole? Did I say that?”
“You said it!”
Her voice went back to usual.
“Is that so. Well, fine”
“Then I found this! It’s just like the boss said! It’s amazing!”
Delta smiled and chewed on what looked like a bright red gem.
“Why are you chewing it?”
“So I don’t lose it!”
“It’s a genius idea.”
“Nishishi”
When I received the gem covered in delta saliva, it shone so beautifully red.
“This is…… Oh, it might sell for a high price.”
The size is about that of marble, but the brilliance is extraordinary.
“Delta did her best!!”
“Yo~shi yoshi. Good girl.”
I patted Delta’s head messily.
Delta has a melting smile.
“I want a reward!”
“Hmm, right.”
“Hmm, it smells delicious!”
The moment I looked toward the fire, the horse mackerel disappeared.
“Is this Delta’s reward?”
Delta was holding it.
“No, it’s a Zeta souvenir……”
“Thank you!”
She didn’t listen.
“It’s delicious~”
Delta looks happy as she takes a bite.
Well, it looks like Delta did a great job.
“Oh, well.”
Just when I thought that, I heard the snapping sound of a tree branch breaking behind me.
“Doggie…… What are you eating?”
When I turned around, I saw Zeta standing there with icy cold eyes.
“Hmm, female cat!! Delta is eating her reward!”
Garuru, Delta, with its gurgling, throaty, menacing voice.
“That horse mackerel I gave to Master. It’s not yours, doggie”
“Go away! This is Delta’s reward!”
After saying so, Delta swallowed the horse mackerel whole.
“Ah…….”
Zeta’s scream, like a sigh.
“It was delicious~”
Nonchalant Delta.
“This…….”
Fuuh, Zeta’s throat rumbled.
“The female cat is in the way, If you don’t go away, I’ll blow you away!”
“Even though I prepared the best horse mackerel for Master …… I won’t forgive you.”
“Well, well, well.”
Sensing that it was going to be a somewhat troublesome situation, I intervened between the two of them.
Their gazes focused on me.
“Etto…… I was just grilling horse mackerels as usual, and there is no evidence that I gave it to anyone else——”
When things become bothersome, the first thing to do is to protect yourself.
It is important to appeal that it is not your fault and that you have nothing to do with it in order not to get involved.
“——So it’s not my fault.”
“Nn, it’s not Master’s fault.”
“Boss is not to blame!”
“Right right, it’s not my fault.”
I was taking good care of the horse mackerels. It was just an unfortunate misunderstanding that resulted in it being eaten.
“”That’s why——””
Zeta and Delta point at each other,
“”——It’s her fault!””
They said.
“Heh?”
The next moment, their magic power exploded.
I was blown away by the blast and flew through the air in a spectacular manner.
When the impact was cleared and I landed, Zeta and Delta had also landed a short distance away.
“A stupid dog who stole the gift for Master …… I will never forgive you.”
“The female cat that messed with Delta’s reward …… I will never forgive you!”
“Ah~ etto, I don’t know what it is, but it’s not my fault.”
I quietly moved away.
The two had always been incompatible and fought frequently. The house and farm were half destroyed, and Alpha would be so mad that even she would lose her temper.
“Don’t overdo it, but in moderation.”
It was a blessing in disguise that the blast left the dormitory.
“I’ll beat it out of you.”
Delta readies her sword and gets into a battle stance.
“I’ll punish you.”
Zeta narrowed her cold eyes —— and she disappeared.
Without warning, she disappeared without a trace.
“Did she run away?”
Delta tilts her head.
At that moment, a black blade appeared behind Delta.
“——”
Just before being slashed, Delta dodge.
She dodged recklessly and rolled on the ground.
There, zan zan zan, black blades raining down.
“……Fuh”
Delta avoided all of them.
She crawled on the ground, flipped, and jumped with movements that were almost impossible for a human being to perform.
“…… Where are you?”
Zeta is nowhere to be seen.
Only countless black blades floated in the darkness.
——This is it. It’s the “Blood Queen’s” technique.
I never thought Zeta could do it, but I feel like she would.
Zeta is the most dexterous person I have met.
No matter what I ask her to do, she can handle it all with dexterity, even if it’s her first time doing it. And so, she’s growing fast, she’s got a great sense, and she may be the ultimate genius type.
Her talent alone is top-notch.
But there’s a big flaw in Zeta’s “talent”.
“……Areh?”
It’s Zeta’s voice.
Her tail was floating in the darkness.
Same as always.
She is capricious, easily bored, and incapable of mastering a single art.
“Oh shoot, lack of practice.”
“——That’s where you are!”
Just before Delta’s powerful sword cut her in two, her tail turned into a black mist and disappeared into the darkness.
“Dangerous. It’s so close”
Only Zeta’s voice can be heard.
“…… I’m going to get serious a little bit.”
Saying that, the black mist gathered and created more than 10,000 small blades.
Small blades surround Delta and soar.
“Technique, a thousand blades.”
It is a modest declaration, even though it clearly exceeds 10,000.
But its killing power was tremendous.
More than 10,000 blades slice through Delta, sending her body into the air.
“Gah, Guh……Guuh”
Delta is slashed one-sidedly in the night sky.
It seems that she barely protects her vital points with her limbs, but it may be a little dangerous.
Zeta is stronger than I thought.
Even though she’s a newcomer to the “Seven Shades,” but she’s a monster who has grown at a breakneck speed……
“GugaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
The roar of Delta thundered through the air.
Tremendous magic power rushes through as a shockwave.
And ten thousand blades were erased.
“Eh……Lies.”
A dumbfounded Zeta fell from the mist.
She landed like a cat, and her gaze was on the bloody Delta.
Splat.
Delta spat out a clump of blood and glared at Zeta.
The color of playfulness disappeared from her eyes.
“…….”
Every hair on Zeta’s body stood on end.
Delta manipulates slime and creates a giant black sword.
No, it’s too rugged and huge to be called a sword. We used to call it the “Lump of Iron” of Delta.
Delta usually imitates us and fights with similar weapons.
But that’s not what her real style is like.
This massive lump of iron is her true weapon, and proof that the “Tyrant” Delta is serious.
“Gurururu”
Delta growled low in the back of her throat.
Cold sweat dripped down Zeta’s cheeks.
I turned around and worried about the dormitory and the school building.
What should I do, I feel like she is going to blow the place up.
But it would be so annoying to be stopped in the middle of a grueling battle.
Let’s not do to others what I don’t like to have done to me.
So, goodbye Midgar Academy, and rest in peace, Hyoro and Jaga.
I held my hands together in my heart.
“Kill”
The magic power of serious Delta gathers in the iron lump.
I take a distance with a relatively serious back step.
And Zeta is…… flew in the sky.
It wasn’t metaphorical or anything, she simply flew purely in the sky.
When I look at her with enhanced vision, I can see that she is covered with a fine black mist.
Is it possible to use it that way?
“Bye Bye, doggie.”
With these words, she took flight and disappeared into the clouds.
After a momentary pause, Delta roars, her whole body shaking with anger.
“W-Wait, female caAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!”
And Delta also disappeared, leaving behind a gust of wind.
“In the end, it’s the same as usual.”
Their fights have always been unsettled.
Either Zeta will run away or Alpha will get mad. By the way, I am a silent spectator.
Well, let’s go back and go to bed.
“Hmm?”
I noticed multiple signs of approaching.
Is it natural after all that fuss?
“This presence…… Alexia and her guards, I guess.”
I decided to erase my presence and see what was going on.
