Volume 1, Chapter 70 - Blade Maiden (Part 3)
Translator: Sigma
The vivid red spirit power reminiscent of the beautiful core of a higanbana was blooming magnificently around Lily’s body. Her red kimono fluttered like the bird’s wings. Her splendid black hair flew in a sad rhythm in the red melody. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com
For the time being, even Shiu was entranced by the opponent’s beautiful, charming spirit power blooming in the night.
She was a little hesitant, but soon, she made up her mind.
“I can’t lose! The glory of my Mido Clan, my father... I can’t lose!”
“Hmph, let see how much you will inhale!” Shiu threw the secret-technique purple balls toward Lily.
With labored breathing, Lily covered her voluptuous breasts that were laden with beads of sweat, rolling in rhythm with her pants.
“Swoosh!” The Seiwa Tamashi in her hand flourished with intent, creating a fierce wave of air which blasted the slow-moving light-weight balls into the distance.
“What?!” Shiu was shocked. It shouldn’t be possible to throw off these secret-technique purple balls with a powerful force. Or else, they would explode in mid-flight. Lily actually circumvented this point by creating a blast of air with her sword to blow them away without touching or exploding the balls!
“It’s just a fluke!” Shiu threw more small balls. However, Lily did the same trick. She wielded her sword to create the wave of air, blowing the balls into the hot spring.
Although her trick was revealed, she knew it required great strength and good sword skills to create a wave of air strong enough to blow the balls away. Shiu was deeply shaken. This woman’s power-level was beyond hers! And now, Shiu found that she was running out of secret-technique balls!
If she continued this way, she couldn’t win...
Then her father would...
“Ahhh!” Shiu screeched as she was blown away by Lily’s blood-red energy wave. She was rolled in the great wave for several feet and landed helplessly on the ground.
After that sweeping slash, the greenery in the courtyard looked gloomy as though the autumn wind had just blown away the yellow leaves.
Excluding the most important privates, Shiu’s front was almost naked. Instinctively she covered her medium-sized breasts and her nether region with a frown. Her eyes turned dreamy as she gasped, cheeks blushing a rosy red.
Lily adjusted her breathing, wiping the fragrant sweat on her hair. Holding the katana, that sparkled with strange runes, she walked toward the girl she had attacked to the point of stripping. With each step, her long, creamy legs were discernible at the slit of her kimono.
Shiu’s blurred eyes looked up at the slim, big-breasted female samurai walking toward her. Her eyes slid from the beautiful but cold eyes that made her heart race, to the katana with glowing, ancient, red runes...
Looking at the ancient runes that seemed to draw people’s souls, in just a blink of an eye, Shiu seemed to understand something.
Her eyes opened wide, clear pupils reflecting her respect and fear...
Her voice shivered from being defeated, subdued and humiliated.
“Blade Maiden... Sister, y- you are a Blade Maiden...”
The young girl with a blooming-flower-like face panted. With fear in her heart, she continued talking.
“No wonder I lost. I’m completely defeated...”
“Unmatched in the Heian Empire, the women who stand at the peak of human samurais, the monsters among geniuses, who can slash demons and ghosts with no qualms, an existence that is a cluster of power, beauty, and supernatural arts...”
“If I had known this earlier, even if Shiu had one thousand lives, I would never have dared to provoke you! Sister... You are... actually a— Blade Maiden!”
Shiu’s breathing grew hotter, and somewhat aromatic, as she gasped for air. Finally, with tears of despair rising in her eyes, she let out one last gasp before fainting.
