Volume 1, Chapter 117 - The Mischievous Demon & Lily’s Scheme

Translator: Silva

Just when Lily fell into deep thoughts with perplexed expression...

A dwarf-like figure stealthily approached her. It was peeking at Lily’s alluring back from a dark corner of the battle formation.

Without any warning, that dwarf-like figure sprinted towards Lily with incredible speed!

In order to hide her strength, Lily didn’t use Spirit Perception. When she noticed the danger coming from behind, that figure was already very close.

Nobody noticed the figure approaching Lily. The appearance of the figure was clearly reflected in Lily’s sword. That was a fat little demon with pale skin and nasty expression. It had an oversized baby head with one horn sticking out on the top. As Lily recalled, this was the Mischievous Demon. It had remarkable strength but rather than harming people, it preferred to pull a prank on others.

That Mischievous Demon was quite fast, if Lily tried to dodge without using Spirit Power, she could still barely evade it!

‘Should I dodge it? And then counterattack?

No, that Mischievous Demon wouldn’t be able to kill me with its power. What’s more, it is very rare for them to actually harm people.

Maybe I should pretend not having noticed it and put on an act!’ Lily instantly made her decision.

Finally, Lily got up from the ground with a sheepish yet depressed face. It looked like she was about to cry. She meekly straightened out her skirt before stooping down to pick her the sword. Her first priority in the battlefield was not her weapon, but her skirt instead, this act truly exhibited she was a girl who would make a mistake at a crucial point. Not a trace of an expert’s demeanor could be seen in her action at all.

Dijon —who had been observing all along— had a downcast face with sweat. Perhaps he was really thinking too much, Lily was nothing more than a frail girl with sex appeal.

He might be extremely strong, but Dijon was still a crude man in the end. There was no way he could tell if Lily’s reaction was genuine or fake.

Although Lily had the soul of a boy, her act could put real girls to shame. Maybe this was what they call to be quick witted in an emergency. Despite that, Lily was still pretty much a boy in her heart, truly!

“Senior sister, I said it before, and I’ll say it again; I am willing to do anything for you, even going as far as to act like the weak little girl I despise the most!” Lily reminded herself internally, “My resolution might be strong enough, but Lily is still much too weak. Hum, but I must survive first before I can get a chance to become stronger...”

“Lily does not regret putting up that shameful display today, however, once safety is secured, Lily will act accordingly... Fight on! I will work harder so that I can conduct myself with pride. Even if I must be a girl, I don’t want to rely on the protection of others!”

The Hojo clan’s elite samurai were well-trained indeed. A large quantity of wolves had been killed in the melee, causing the remaining herd to retreat in a fluster. The mountain woods had returned to its former tranquility for the time being. However, the Hojos’ casualties added up to nearly two tenths of their samurai.

Just then, the winds changed direction, carrying with them the thick stench of eldritch energy. A pained yet overbearing howl echoed across the fields. All the samurai present felt a chill travel up their spine.

“It’s coming!” Dijon shouted grimly. He had already all but forgotten about Lily and focused all his attention on the looming danger.

All of a sudden, they heard the crunch of leaves beneath heavy steps from the woods ahead of them.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels
