Volume 1, Chapter 71 - Blade Maiden Spirit Power
Translator: Sigma
“Blade Maiden?” Lily was startled upon hearing that.
She looked at the vibrating Seiwa Tamashi with red, sparkling runes. It seemed like it didn’t have the same righteous aura as when she bought it. Now, it had a distinguishable eldritch energy.
Her chest thrust in and out, which made her breathing visible.
Blade Maiden, Lily learned of their existence when she was transmigrated to this otherworld alone. She had nothing but plain clothing and witnessed the night parade of a hundred demons the very same day.
One who exterminated the demons and trod on the moon!
That was Lily’s first vision for the future when she came to this otherworld, her first shock!
A human woman could also reach that intimidating level.
Lily was no longer feeling inferior because of her gender.
She was no longer sinking in the pain of losing her right to be a man. Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com
‘Her’ sword flashed and reflected the moonlight like some kind of signpost for Lily, giving her directions in this dark world, showing her the way to survive.
‘She’ was an aloof existence that Lily could never touch, ones that she could only admire far in the distance.
Lily studied her slender, porcelain hands. Her slim fingers looked delicate and weak. Cocking her head, she turned her attention to observe her succulent breasts, they were full of womanly charm, demanding to be cherished.
This body was beautiful, soft, and pure; and it could be the one that topped the night, slashing ghosts and monsters, fighting to her heart’s content?
Am I really like Uesugi Rei, the one I consider my Valkyrie?
‘Am I... a Blade Maiden? Is it true?’
Lily was worried but she must solve this incident in a hurry. It would be bad if the female ninja woke up. Even though she was lacking in strength, she was an annoying opponent indeed.
Lily stepped forward and lifted Shiu’s limp body. Considering her strength, it was as easy as flipping her hands.
After bringing Shiu into the log storage and lighting a lamp, Lily closed the door. After searching for some rope she went to attempt restraining Shiu.
However, although Lily had mastered her fighting skills, for the time being, she didn’t know how to tie this girl.
There was no way she could know. Tying someone up and interrogate them, she wasn’t born with these talents.
At this moment, though she didn’t know why, the image of Uesugi Rei, with her fluttering silver hair, emerged in her mind. If it were her, perhaps she would be good at it...
“What! What are you thinking about?!” Trying to sweep that thought away, Lily blamed herself.
“First, I have to solve this first!”
“Hmph! If Uesugi Rei can do it, then why can’t I?”
With her confidence rising, Lily made up her mind. She just needed to figure it out a little bit at a time and she would be able to accomplish what she wanted. Once she started to try then it would flow naturally.
Lily expended a lot up time and effort, working up a glistening sweat. It was really harder and more strength-consuming than the previous battle. Eventually, she had tied Shiu entirely with a complicated and tight criss-cross pattern. By hurling the other end of the rope over a wooden beam Lily was able to hang her up.
“Hmph, how dare you try to assassinate me. If you weren’t a woman, I would have killed you already! Today, not only will I make you tell me what you know, but I will also teach you a lesson!” hissed Lily.
As if on cue, Shiu slowly woke up.
“Er? W- where am I?” Shiu struggled as she came to, but since she was suspended beneath the beam all she accomplished was making herself spin around.
Lily proceeded to her front, lifting her chin with a single outstretched finger. “Spit it out. Who are you? What’s your name? How much you’d received from Daidouji to assassinate me?”
Shiu’s moist eyes opened wide. “H- how come you know the name of our client! Let, let me go. I, Shiu, will tell you nothing!”
