Volume 3 - CH 30.3

Act 3-30.3: Wacky Battle in The Sweet Castle 1

The female ogre raised her death throes as the thundering slash ran through her, burning her to cinder. It then continued on toward the Silver Witch. But, the thunder got repelled, and then dissipated one step before it reached Kuna.

Naturally, Kuna was also uninjured.

「NOW YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE LEFT!!」

Shirone pointed her sword at Kuna.

「Weak…」

That was the first word Kuna uttered as she stood up from the throne.

「NATURALLY! THOSE WEAK OGRES CAN’T STOP ME!!」

Shirone spoke while pointing at the ogres’ corpses.

However, Kuna shook her head upon hearing Shirone’s remark.

「Far weaker than Kuroki…」

Kuna muttered as she looked at Shirone with cold, piercing eyes.

「I heard that both of you learned your swordsmanship from the same place, but… Kuroki’s sword is sharper and his skills are far more powerful than yours. My original plan was to retreat if you turned out to be strong… But, that’s not necessary. Those ogres might be useless, but they’re enough for me to gauge your strength.」

Kuna readied her scythe as she spoke.

「Come, Shirone. Your existence shall be erased by Kuna.」

「DON’T LOOK DOWN ON ME!!」

Shirone kicked the ground as she spoke with an angered voice, closing in the distance in an instant.

「HAAA!!!」

She arrived right in front of Kuna, and swung down her sword from the upper position.

Kuna shifted her body a bit as she readied her scythe, and parried Shirone’s blow.

「Eh?」

Shirone whose blow easily got parried by Kuna leaked a shocked voice as her stance crumbled.

(Oh crap?!)

Shirone shifted her body as she felt danger coming toward her.

Right at the next moment, Kuna swung her scythe. Shirone, who realized that she couldn’t dodge the blow, unleashed her wings and changed the trajectory of the scythe.

Feathers of light fluttered down from her wings, they had gotten grazed by the scythe.

「WHAT?!!」

Shirone readjusted her stance, and attacked Kuna with her sword.

「Fuuuu…」

Seeing that, Kuna smirked a little and spun her scythe to parry the blow.

「GUH!!」

And she didn’t just parry the blow, she also unleashed a counterattack toward Shirone’s abdomen with the shaft of her scythe. Shirone was caught off guard since she was focused on the blade.

「Don’t focus all your attention on the blade… That’s one of Kuroki’s lessons.」

Kuna said so to Shirone while looking down on the latter.

Shirone retreated to open some distance from Kuna.

（This girl is strong!）

Shirone glared angrily at Kuna.

「My training with Kuroki turned out to be more useful than I expected…」

Kuna spoke with a bright and lovely smile on her face.

（Just what in the world is Kuroki doing when I’m not around! It’s so annoying!）(TL: ….)

Shirone felt unjustified irritation toward Kuroki. Both Kuna and Kuroki’s actions had somehow irritated her.

「WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!!」

Shirone spread her wings, and fired its feathers like arrows. But, all of the feather arrows were repelled by Kuna’s magic shield.

That, however, was a feint.

Shirone used that chance to jump upward, she kicked the ceiling and landed behind Kuna, her speed was boosted with reinforcement magic too.

「TAKE THIS, THOUSAND SWALLOW WINGS BLADE!!!」

Shirone unleashed a thousand slash in an instant.

But, her sword still failed to breach Kuna’s magic shield.

「No way… Several magic shields at the same time… Even Chiyuki-san can’t do that…」

Shirone was utterly shocked. Normally, one could only conjure one magic shield at a time, regardless of its strength. And yet, Kuna had unleashed several magic shields at once.

The only person she knew that could pull such a feat was Rena.

Rena’s combat power wasn’t that high. However, her forte was defensive magic, Shirone applied for a match against her a long time ago, but none of her attacks managed to reach Rena.

「This is a nine fold magic shield. Kuna can conjure as many as nine magic shields at the same time. According to Kuroki, Kuna specializes in defensive and healing magic. Nevertheless, that last attack is not bad… Kuroki might be able to dodge it with ease, but the current Kuna can’t dodge it.」

It was just as Kuna said, Kuroki did manage to dodge the very same technique back then. And it wasn’t just this technique, Kuroki had literally dodged all of Shirone’s sword techniques back when they fought in the Holy Republic of Lenaria with ease.

（Since when did he become so powerful?）

Shirone ended up thinking about her childhood friend, who suddenly became so powerful during the time she didn’t see him.

「But, even with that, Kuna is far more powerful than you. Or rather, it’s not just being powerful… Kuna’s boobs are bigger, and her waist is slimmer than yours too. NOT TO MENTION THAT KUNA IS A LOT CUTER!」

Kuna continued on as she looked at Shirone.

「WWWW-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOURS IS JUST OVERSIZED!!!」

Shirone spoke as she covered her bre*sts.

Sure enough, despite her petite height, Kuna’s three sizes were much better than Shirone’s. Thus, despite her vexation, Shirone had no choice but to admit her defeat in terms of style. In fact, Shirone’s bust size was bigger than average, thus Kuna’s bust size was a literal oversize.

「SHIRONE! YOUR EXISTENCE IS JUST AN EYESORE! THAT’S WHY KUNA WILL ERASE YOUR EXISTENCE!!」

Kuna unleashed her magical power as she spoke and readied her scythe as she rushed toward Shirone.

「I’M NOT GOING TO LOSE!!」

Shirone readied her sword and charged forward too.

For some unknown reason, she didn’t feel like losing.
