Volume 1, Chapter 28 - Trap

Translator: Silva

It was very peaceful during the following week.

There was only one day left until the competition organized by Matsuda Nagahide.

During this evening, a layer of light blue enveloped the backyard.

Night time in summer got dark later than usual so the sky was still dimly lit at seven o’clock.

As of this moment, Lily secluded herself in her room and did push-ups with the doors closed.

This was a training style never seen before in this parallel world. However, though the 《Lunar Blossom》 Lily possessed did not mention any body-strengthening method, it did emphasize since the beginning that the physical strength was very important. The quantity of Spirit Power one could absorb was decided by one’s physical strength. CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

She tried asking Matsuda Nagahide about the body-strengthening method used in this world, but there was none aside from boxing, fencing, jogging, or lifting a rock. That’s why Lily might as well use the training method of the modern world.

According to the 《Lunar Blossom》, the girls could temper their body to the utmost with relieve. As long as they continued to practice Lunar Blossom, their figure would become more beautiful and their skin would become more exquisite. They wouldn’t need to worry about building up muscles or their fingers becoming rough.

And that’s why Lily could train at ease.

Apart from strength, one’s appearance was also very important when it came to a girl’s pride and confidence. Even if they were strong, if they looked like a man, then it would be hard to gain the people’s acknowledgment.

No, it’s not important even if they were not acknowledged by the people. However, according to the natural order of life, a man was supposed to be masculine while a woman was feminine. Her accomplishment wouldn’t be too great if she was to defy the natural order.

Just because she was in her own room, Lily’s clothing was unbearable to look at.

Her breasts were wrapped by a white bleached cloth and she was wearing a tight g-string on her bottom.

Big problem?

Lily finished sorting out her clothing, so she went to open the door. Lily was in a seiza position at the doorway as she asked, “What is it?”

Hiroyasu’s eyes were squirming around as he saw the black-haired goddess in a white yukata, then he said in a hurry, “Sister Kagami, Miki he... he... his foot got clasped by a leg-hold trap designed to catch bears. He is bleeding non-stop! I-I cannot wrench it open and there are no other people in the house. Sister Kagami, quickly go take a look! Miki will die if we don’t do something quick!”

“What?” Lily was surprised. Miki was a tanned youngster who also trained under Nagahide.

Miki’s foot was caught by a trap? He’s on the verge of dying due to excessive blood loss?

And coincidentally, all the men in the Matsuda Clan were not available at the moment. All of them went out with no reason?

Hmph!

This was really fishy and Lily guessed it almost instantaneously.

They normally never spoke to her, but with so many coincidences piled up just one day before the competition and instead of going to the village to cry for help, the first thing they did was to look for her? Did they think she was an idiot?

However, Lily didn’t refuse. Since knew just how dangerous was it in this parallel world, she might as well play along with their petty trick and test her reaction speed in real combat.

Lily said, “Hiroyasu, don’t panic. Where is Miki... take me there.”

Hiroyasu revealed a cruel yet naive smile at the corner of his mouth, “Sister Kagami, follow me. Miki will die if we are late!”

Hiroyasu ran towards the corridor while shouting.

Lily got up and picked up the wooden sword that leaned against the wall before following after Hiroyasu.
