Chapter 52: Shadow in the dark

“Please wait, three of you”

Knives, chain sickle, and bombs. I poured water into the three of them who took out their weapon. 

Kuzuha-chan is looking nervous. She understands the meaning of hiding and crossing the border but she wonder why the entertainers is doing that. I think she is just too pure.

Terrier-chan bandit trio responds to my words and gazes at me. After confirming that, I bit my finger. 

The blood overflows from the wound, and the sweet taste spreads in the mouth. 

While I remembered some unnecessary feelings, I released my fingers from the mouth and speak the words.

“Blood Arms, ‘​​rope’ .”

Skill to change blood into weapons. It seems that the rope is not exactly a weapon, but the restraint seems to be interpreted as a weapon. Because my skill level is max, I can make it, I will gladly use it

Lightly tie a rope made to be long enough so that it does not get too tight around Neguseo’s neck.

“Are you OK? Neguseo” 

“No problem.” 

Talking over the edge of the rope, Kuzha will relay to the front. 

Even though the four of them don’t know what my plan is, they still grasped the rope properly.

“So, what do you want to do?” 

“I think you should avoid combat as much as possible, right?” 

“This is long rope, did you make it ?”

As Terrier-chan says, people’s signs are getting closer. This rope is for several people, not alone. 

I also do not know how he perceived it and how the people who are heading here have grasped our existence. 

But if possible, I want to avoid conflict. It is a troublesome. We are crossing the border by moutain to avoid the trouble in the first place.

“O Darkness, cover us”

So, I use magic to avoid it. 

“Arge-san, this is …” 

“It’s okay, just making it hard to see”

Normally, even it is night now, visual is bad. Forest of the dusk where only a few moonlight reaches. Terrier-chan bandit trio, Kuzuha-chan and Neguseo still can see. I can see the scenery which is almost the same as the daytime thank to my vampire eyes. We are a group with a good sight at night. 

But the darkness I made now is dark enough that impossible see.

Only I can see.

To be precise, only vampires can see. I’m the only member who is vampire here now and I can only see this darkness without problems. 

The reason why I still can see is the race characteristic of the vampire. I do not know the detail, but the vampire seems to have settled the magical power of darkness, probably a blessing. 

Now the people who are chasing us will lose sight. While continuing the dark magic, send words to everyone while moving to the front.

“Well then, I will lead you, please follow me without taking off the rope.”

“Wait” 

“What is it, Terrier-chan?”

Is it dissatisfied or even a question? When I looked at Terrier-chan, he looked straight at my eyes in this darkness. He doesn’t look at me blindly. Terrier-chan‘s eyes are properly look toward here. Maybe he can sense me somehow

“… Maybe you can see it?” 

“Well…”

I can tell them ‘I can see it’ , but I do not feel like explaining the reason.His attitude was like still in doubt. 

I do not care about why, so it does not matter if I do not feel like talking. 

Terrier-chan bandit trio nod with each other, look they decided to listen to me. How can they reach to an agreement without visual.

“The entertainer is amazing, isn’t it?” (Arge)

“Who is an entertainer, wait a moment” (T.N: this time only Terrier talk)

It seems like he want to do something. Terrier-chan pulled out the dagger from his bosom. It is not just one, the glow that appeared from the bosom is at least three. 

Terrier-chan threw three dagger with a casual movement as if he was deciding to do so from the beginning. Without sight, he shouldn’t know the direction to throw, but his throwing is accuracy. 

Each of the three daggers flies through the gaps of the trees, in a different direction. Without even look, Terrier-chan grabbed the rope again,

“Let’s go” 

“Terrier, what have you been doing just now?” 

“Those daggers will explode after a while, it’s a diversion to catch the attention of the border guards, let’s go quickly.” 

“Ah, yes”

I’m holding the edge of the rope and the back was pushed, so I started walking and lead everyone. 

If you can see it, I think Terrier-chan is the best, but he seems to leave it to me. 

I was wondering if he might get angry with me deny and disturb them when they trying to fight, but they rather obediently listen to me. 

Their name are strange and violent, but those are who we can not hate after all. 

While thinking that the mountain road is hard to walk, I walk through the darkness and lead everyone. 

The end of the mountain road is almost over. We went through the darkness against the flashy explosive sound behind us.
