“Chapter 241: Impediment”

– What’s wrong? How long do you plan on just standing there?

Mike and Shiori have been able to inflict some damage on the enemy party.

But no matter how much effort they put in, Falme keeps restoring them to their original state.

Besides, Falme has been focusing her attacks more and more on me, keeping Mike and Shiori too busy to attack continuously.

– Mike-chan, be honest, can you protect Nagami-kun by yourself? (Shiori)

– Probably… not. What about you?

– They’re not that strong, but they’re quick. If well enough coordinated, the chances of me saving Nagami-kun are not 100%.

As if that wasn’t enough of a problem, we haven’t dealt with Leonis yet.

– Nagami-kun.

Shiori tapped the tip of her toes.

– …

I know what she meant. She wants to use Rabbit Foot.

We have one shot at this. Falme won’t see her coming. Mike and I will have to act as a distraction.

I don’t know if it’ll be enough. I need to think. What else can we do?

– Mike, come here!

Mike and I took a step back as Shiori walked forward.

– Have you lost your minds already? That didn’t take long. (Falme)

– Rabbit-

Before Falme finished talking, Shiori disappeared.

– Hmm… She’s gone.

Falme is so confident in her defense that she ordered all the wolves to attack us at the same time.

Mike is barely able to keep up with the incessant attacks.

Still, she used her claws and agility to counterattack whenever she saw a chance.

Her armor is cracked and almost shattered. I thought my technique was getting better, but it’s still no match for divine wolves.

Two wolves lunged at me the moment Mike got distracted.

– MASTER!

She was ever so slightly late to defend me.

I couldn’t move. I stood there like a defenseless turtle.

ZZZZZZZ

But before the wolves decimated me, a swarm of insects covered my body like an armor.

Thanks to them, I was left almost unscathed.

– What!? (Falme)

– You messed up by underestimating us.

Falme blinked in surprise, and then her body was filled with sword cuts.

Shiori appeared behind her. Her skin was back to normal, which meant High Tension was over.

– Goodbye. It was an alright fight, I guess. (Shiori)

Blood was pouring out of Falme’s body as if it was a fountain.

– Kghh… L-Leonis…

– Oh, that guy? He’s over there.

Leonis was lying on the floor bleeding from a hole in his head. Shiori pulled out the knife I made with the wolf’s fang from earlier.

It seems like way too easy of a fight, but sure enough, the divine wolf is dead still.

– Tch… It’s not over… I can still *Cough* use magic…

– Oh, can you now? By all means, give it a go. (Shiori)

Falme raised her trembling arm in an attempt to heal everyone back to normal with her sword, but nothing was happening.

– What’s wrong? Doesn’t seem to be working. (Takaya)

– …What did you do!?

– Nothing much. I just sprinkled some salt around.

I took out a small bottle of salt from my pocket.
