Chapter 81 (1/2)

The prince drew its great sword and attacked me. As expected, not only the prince’s speed was fast, its sword streak was also sharp. Somehow, I want to have an intense fight with this fellow.  Because its skill with the sword surpassed mine, I observed carefully and saw through the sword streak. Instead of dodging it, I blocked it with the shield. When I blocked the sword several times, the prince gradually became irritated and made a large sweeping stroke. Though the skill was good, it didn’t have spirit. It’s really regrettable.

「Seiji-sama, are you alright?」

It seems the other side have been cleared up, Aya and Elena had come to help.

「This fellow is strong to some extent.」

When I talked, the prince flew into a rage and attacked recklessly. Are you a girl who is sharp when I look away!? When I took the all out attack of the prince with the shield, my body floated a little. When the prince saw that, it broke into a grin. Putting all its strength to the sword and then it hurled the sword to my body while still in the air.

「Seiji-sama!」

I was blown away and almost crashed into a tree. I landed to its side by neutralizing the momentum and avoided the collision.

「Bad bad, I was a little careless.」 「Oniichan, is that fellow so strong?」 「To a certain extent.」

The prince seemed to be irritated when we talked in a language it couldn’t understand―

『Me, don’t, ignore.』

Really, what a selfish fellow. It surely grew up spoiled. Finally, the prince’s sword streak had become unsystematic. Aya and Elena withdrew a little. I dodged the prince’s sword like a jump rope and attracted its attention.

「Curse you! Don’t move!』

The chance came when its attention was directed to me, Aya and Elena attack with water and ice from the rear. The armor that the prince wore seemed to be good to some extent, magic attacks weren’t too effective on it. Aya who became irritated, plunged forward while holding a knife. Even with knife attacks, it only managed to make scratches on the prince’s armor and didn’t do any damage. When Aya still persistently attacked― The prince suddenly turned towards Aya and swung down its sword!

Dangerous!

Aya threw away the knife and tried a 『live blade catching』. The timing was late, she would receive a direct hit at this rate.

「Barrier!」

Barin!

The sword was blocked by the barrier I put on Aya and the sword’s speed was delayed for a moment. It was enough for Aya’s 『live blade catching』. Aya barely caught the prince’s sword in『bare-handed sword block1』.

「So close! I thought I was dead!」 「You’re too reckless, idiot!」

But, the prince didn’t give up and put power into the sword. While in bare-handed sword block state, *slip slide* the sword was being pushed forward.
