Volume 3 - CH 33.1
Act 3-33.1: Wacky Battle in the Sweet Castle 4
「HAAA!!!」
A few magic blades were unleashed from the Silver Witch’s scythe and were fast approaching Shirone.
Shirone erased those magic blades with her sword.
「Not bad, Shirone!! How about this!!」
Now, she transferred the magic blade. But, it was a technique that was easy to read and dodge due to the time lag that was created when Kuna swung her scythe. Shirone figured it out in no time.
Thus, the seesaw game between the two was a stalemate in that way.
Kuna had limited combat experience and offensive skill despite her overwhelming defense, she had no way to defeat Shirone. And since Shirone’s attack couldn’t penetrate Kuna’s defense, the result was a stalemate.
「FLAME BLADE!!」
Shirone swung her sword. But it was stopped by one of Kuna’s magic shields. The strength of a magic shield varied depending on the ability of its user. Though still inferior compared to Rena, Kuna’s magic shield was already quite powerful.
「It’s tough… Reiji-kun might be able to break the shield but, I guess it’s impossible for me.」
Shirone recalled her mock combat with Reiji in the past. Reiji’s sword was fast and heavy. He could easily tear through one or two of Rena’s overlapping magic shields.
But, different from Reiji, Shirone who lacked the power to land a blow couldn’t land a hit at all at Kuna. Shirone’s sword swing was almost as fast as Reiji’s but she lacked the strength that he had. Thus, she couldn’t tear through the magic shield.
「SO THAT’S ALL YOU’VE GOT, SHIRONE!!!」
Kuna swung her scythe again as she spoke, unleashing another magic blade toward Shirone.
The magic blade had an auto tracking function, thus Shirone couldn’t dodge it. Her only choice was intercepting it with her own sword.
Meanwhile, Kuna used that chance to transfer the magic blade.
Shirone left her position in a hurry, letting the magic blade pass through her previous position. Now she was getting used to dealing with the magic blade and could somehow dodge it at the last moment. But, it didn’t change the fact that Shirone was slowly, but surely, getting cornered by Kuna.
「You’re slowly and steadily being driven into a corner, Shirone. Kuroki is mine, that’s why you’re nothing more than an eyesore for Kuna. That’s why you shall die in this place.」
Kuna swung her scythe as she spoke.
「KUROKI ISN’T YOURS!」
Shirone exclaimed while receiving the scythe’s blade with her sword. She hated the fact that Kuna used something like a magic drug to control Kuroki and treated him like an object.
「Then, is he yours?!」
""
「HE’S NOT MINE!」
「Since that’s the case, you should just be gone forever, bitch!!」
Shirone and Kuna were glaring at each other.
「Humph!」
Shirone smiled.
「What are you laughing about?」
「I see now… You can’t make Kuroki completely fall head over heels for you, right?」
The moment Shirone said so, Kuna made a sulking, yet still equally adorable face.
（Bull’s eye, huh.）
But that sulking look was enough to convince Shirone. Kuroki had yet to be completely manipulated. Thus, she knew that she still had a chance.
「Sure enough, Kuroki oggles at Regena’s butt every once in a while…」
Yet, Kuna said the most unexpected remark with a vexed look on her face. Even Shirone couldn’t help but be dumbfounded upon hearing that remark.
（What in the world is that lecher doing when I’m not around? It’s decided, he needs re-education!）
Shirone started to make a list of punishments for Kuroki for when she managed to take him back.
「BUT! THE THINGS HE SEES THE MOST ARE KUNA’S BOOBS AND BUTT!! THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!」
Kuna swung her scythe with renewed vigor as she spoke. Though her attack was much faster than before, it lost its edge.
（Her attack has lost its sharpness, now it’s time to turn the table!）
Shirone dodged the scythe by a paper thin margin, and unleashed a counter with her skill.
「THOUSAND SWALLOW WINGS BLADE!」
「Humph!!」
But, all of her attacks got repelled by the barrier. As a result, because of the slight delay before she put up the barrier, Kuna was stunned for a moment.
（NOW!）
Shirone rearranged her stance immediately. Though her body screamed in pain, she couldn’t let go of that chance. She raised her sword as she loaded all her mana into it.
She was going to unleash another thousand swallow wings blade. Properly speaking, she was overexerting herself. But, she couldn’t beat Kuna unless she did so.
「HAAA!!!」
Shirone raised a scream, swung her sword from above as she spun forward. Her sword got blocked by the magic shield again. But Shirone ignored that and kept swinging her sword.
「No way?!」
Even Kuna was startled by Shirone. One of the shields broke, and then vanished like a mist. Unable to ward off the sword strikes, Kuna was forced to receive Shirone’s attack with the shaft of her scythe, which resulted in her stance being destroyed.
As a result, it looked as if both Shirone and Kuna were falling from above as their weapons clashed with each other.
「Just as I thought, you can’t use your magic shield and magic blade in this kind of situation!!」
Shirone declared so to Kuna who was falling down.
（Great, it worked. I might have failed if she had used a double layered magic shield though. Let’s call this skill “Heavenly Wings Decapitating Sword”. Cool, as expected of me.）
Shirone, who managed to push down Kuna, thought of a name for her new skill.
「Kuh…」
Kuna tried to push back the sword with her scythe with a vexed look on her face.
Shirone on the other hand was also pushing her sword toward Kuna, both sides were still in a stalemate.
「Fufufu, even if I lose in the other areas, it seems that I’m still above you in terms of physical strength.」
Shirone was smiling toward Kuna as she spoke. Though it wasn’t something to be proud of as a girl, the current Shirone had no leeway to worry about that.
She kept pushing Kuna.
「Now then, release Kuroki!!」
「Gugugu… W-What are…」
「Don’t play dumb with me! You’re the one who brainwash Kuroki right?!」
Shirone screamed angrily at Kuna.
（Otherwise, Kuroki would never work under that heinous looking Demon King. Since she keeps feigning her ignorance, I should just kill her. I’ve almost reached my limit after using two big skills in succession. It would be my loss if I fail to kill her here.）
Shirone kept pressing her sword but she had no strength left to break the deadlock.
And just when Shirone and Kuna were in such a deadlock.
「Eh?!」
「AH!!!」
After who knows how much time had passed. Suddenly, a powerful force pulled Shirone apart from Kuna. Shirone barely managed to stop in mid-air with her wings before she crashed against the wall, and landed right beside the entrance.
Shirone looked forward. There, she saw the figure of the Dark Knight holding on to Kuna’s hand.
「KUROKI!!」
Shirone’s body stiffened upon seeing the figure of that Dark Knight.
Kuna was shouting, the two people in front of Shirone then spoke about something. Shirone felt like she was zapped by lightning upon seeing the two of them speaking intimately like that. And then, Kuna stepped back while Kuroki walked toward Shirone. She had lost her sword and her fighting spirit.
「Uhm, Shirone. Let’s leave this place for now, there’s something that I want to tell you… Is that okay?」
◆
When Kuroki arrived in the sweet castle, he saw Shirone pressing down on Kuna.
Fortunately, none of them was injured.
（I’ve arrived just in time and managed to somehow prevent the worst situation.）
Kuroki didn’t waste anymore time and pulled the two apart. And then, after he took care of Kuna’s side, he looked at Shirone.
（Oh crap… she’s really pissed off now.）
Shirone was glaring resolutely at Kuroki. That glare was enough to make Kuroki’s back be drenched in cold sweat. He had pulled Shirone away from Kuna since he thought that she was going to kill her. And yet, he hadn’t thought of what he would do after that.
「Now then Shirone, it’s 2 vs 1 now!!」
Kuna spoke with a loud voice from afar as she readied her scythe.
（Seriously… I really mustn’t let these two get at each others’ throats.）
Kuroki lowered Kuna’s scythe down.
「Kuna, I’ll take care of her myself. You have to retreat from Algore with this castle first.」
「Mu~h. What are you talking about, Kuroki? Now that it’s become 2 vs 1, we can kill her once and for all!!」
Kuroki shook his head upon hearing Kuna’s remark.
（Well, the reason I want to fight her alone is… because I want to prevent that… ）
But then, Kuna didn’t agree that easily either. Thus, Kuroki was trying to persuade her.
「Don’t worry, I’m much more powerful than her. That’s why, wait for my return in Nargol, Kuna.」
「NO!!」
Hearing that, Kuroki looked at Kuna with an extremely surprised look on his face. He never expected Kuna to refuse so vehemently.
「Kuna…」
「I can’t leave Kuroki with that woman alone. That woman is dangerous… She’ll take Kuroki to somewhere far beyond Kuna’s reach…」
Kuna spoke with an extremely hostile look in her eyes toward Shirone.
「I really won’t go anywhere… Kuna. Even if I go, it would be with you. It’s a promise.」
Even Kuroki knew the implication behind his promise with Kuna. But, there was something that he shouldn’t say in this kind of situation. Kuna then looked at Kuroki as he looked back at her without averting his gaze.
「Understood… I’ll be waiting for you in Nargol.」
Kuna, who sensed the implication behind Kuroki’s promise, finally let her scythe down.
After confirming that, Kuroki went toward Shirone.
Shirone stayed still, her sword pointing at Kuroki.
「Uhm, Shirone. Let’s leave this place for now, there’s something that I want to tell you… Is that okay?」
「Show your face before you say that, Kuroki!!」
Kuroki took off his Dark Knight’s helmet before he spoke to Shirone.
Shirone glared at his face.
「Fine… I understand. Don’t escape, Kuroki.」
Shirone unfurled her wings again as she spoke, breaking the wall of the sweet castle and flying outside. Kuroki used flight magic and went after her.
After both of them left the castle, the sweet castle started moving away from Algore.
Kuna ordered the Myrmidons to move the castle.
（Kuna is such a good girl.）
Only after Kuna retreated did Kuroki truly feel relieved. Thus, he could finally confront Shirone, who stayed still in the air.
「THIS IDIOOOOOOOOOOT!!」 [TL: I’m seriously wondering who’s the idiot here]
Shirone suddenly punched Kuroki.
「BUH?!!」
Kuroki who couldn’t dodge the punch for some reason, received it in full power right from the front.
「C-Calm down…」
Kuroki pinched his nose that almost broke due to Shirone’s punch.
「This idiot! Kuroki is such an idiot―――!!!」[TL: If he’s an idiot, what are you then?]
But, Shirone kept hitting him with her punches.
「Shirone… Wha… Stop.」
「HAAA!!!」
A few magic blades were unleashed from the Silver Witch’s scythe and were fast approaching Shirone.
