Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 . While feeling good

“Your highness!”

Fortis screamed out, he sounds really desperate . Helena looked up . Her smile vanished as it changed with a pale look . I looked high up to the sky too . Arrows were flying down just like rain . Outside of the fort, rows of soldiers holding bows were seen .

Clearly they were concentrating their attack on this point . . They must’ve planned to fire off loads of arrow once they saw the figure of Helena-hime .

“Fuuu . ”

I swung the cursed sword and flung away all the arrows around Helena-hime . I managed to blow away the arrows in succession but there was one that was left out but in the end I knocked it down .

Clearly leaving aside the arrow that had missed .

“Amazing…”

“What an amazing sword handling… . ”

Helena and Fortis were both astonished .

There was more arrows coming towards Helena-hime, disregarding the rain of arrows behind my back while I was facing against Helena-hime, just like before . I blew off all the incoming arrows .

“I’m here . Everything’s gonna be daijobu . ”

“Yes… . ” Helena-hime regained her smile . Um . . I’m fine with that . But, the looked that she had on her face is different when she looked at me this time . “That sword, could it be Eleanor?”

“What?!”

When Fortis heard what Helena-hime had said, his eyes was wide opened . The both of them were looking at the cursed sword that I got on my hand . Eleanor, were they talking about her?

“Cursed Sword Eleanor, eats the heart and destroy your mind—the legendary Cursed Sword . ”

“That form, and that ominous aura . There is no mistaken, that is Eleanor, please back down Your Highness . ”

Fortis came in between me and Helena-hime .

… . . Um, right . The information is right . As a knight, for Fortis action to protect Helena-hime is right .

However, I was somewhat a little bit sad . It can’t be helped that they don’t know that I am still okay even though I’m holding the cursed sword but I am somewhat sad being treated like this .

As I was about to explain myself to clear the misunderstanding,

“Fortis-sama!”

This time the sounds of the soldier screaming interrupted us, it was a scout soldier who was at a very high up point .

“What happened?”

“The enemy’s reinforcement had come from the front gate . ”

“They are sending even more troops… . what are the numbers?”

“I think there are about 1 000 people . ”

“1000? That traitorous Cyrillic bastard! Did he sent all the soldiers to this direction?! Does he really want Royal Highness life that much?!” Fortis spat out feeling annoyed .

Thus, I made a suggestion .

“Anyway, let us get away from this place immediately . ”

“Yeah, I agree . I will regroup with the guard that we have left and you will leave with Royal Highness……”

“Rather than that, how many soldier that we have left?”

I didn’t wait for Fortis to finish and interrupted him .

“About 50…”

50 soldiers huh . If that’s’ the case it seems possible but, if it didn’t work we can just split them into smaller group .

“Please assemble all of them here . ”

“What are you trying to do?”

“Don’t worry about that and hurry up . ”

I urged him to hurry, however Fortis didn’t moved . Was he hesitating? Seriously, we don’t have such time for that now .

“Fuoo—-”

“Fortis, do like what Kakeru-sama had said . ”

“… . . wa . ”

Helena-hime said, and Fortis reluctantly ordered the soldier to assemble . All of the soldier had finally assembled when the last soldier that was holding the fort’s gate latch came running .

I bring out the warp right .

“Well then, here we go . ”

“What are you—–”

I heard Fortis question, but as we don’t have enough time I ignored him . I recalled the time when I was on my way to here . To the nearest place where there is no enemy, in Euboi . With Euboi as the destination, I prayed .

The scenery changed and we properly reached Euboi . I looked at the surrounding . Helena-hime is present so does Fortis the entire soldier that was covered in bruise . I managed to bring everyone, it looks like it was a success .

“…What exactly had happened . ”

“I will properly explain everything later . Putting that aside, we managed to teleport to this place but is this place okay?” Just in case, I asked Fortis .

“A, ah . This place should be safe . ”

“I see, well then I’ll leave it to you from here on . ”

“Leave it to me? What will you do?”

“Helena-him, I’ll be going off for a while . ”

“May the fortune of war be with you . ” Helena-hime replied immediately . Looks like she knew what I was up to .

Using the Warp Wing, I went back to the fort .

“There’s no one here! What is happening!”

“There are only corpses here . ”

“That is impossible! They were here just now . ”

To play it safe, I teleported to a shade that I seen before . From all over that place, I can hear the voice of the soldiers . They came rushing in after the Guardian Knight had gone but when they got in, they didn’t see anyone which caused them to be greatly surprised .

“Now then, shall I do it?”

(Do what?)

“Helena-hime is safe now, so I’m thinking to deal with them here and now . ”

(All by yourself?)

“Yeah, Fortis looked like he’s quite worn out too . His subordinate are all bruised up too . It’s better if I deal with it myself . ”

Though what I had said was only an excuse; the real reason is,

(I know that even though you said that, all you want to do is to show off to Helena-hime don’t you?)

She guessed it correctly .

“…can you read other’s mind?”

(From the way you act, everyone can see through you)

… . well, I guess so .

(You show off…)

I was teased . I came out from the shade while feeling a little bit displeased .

“There’s one over here!”

The search soldier screamed out when he saw me . The enemies come one after another from around the area . If I’m not mistaken, from the report that I heard before there’s supposed to be about 1 000 enemies .

It’s the number of people who’s going to be my opponent for the first time . Up until now the biggest amount of army that I had ever fought with was with the undead army that the Cursed Sword had summoned and it was around one hundred or so . In terms of number, the opponent that I have now are about 10 times larger .

I’ll be able to manage it one way or another . If I somehow unable to do it, I can just warp using the wing .

“Ah, no . ” I think back . I took out the warp wing . I warped behind the enemy that was right in front of me . I slash the defenceless back of the enemy . The enemy unable to resist fall upon my attack . On the other side, there was another one . Same like earlier, I suddenly appeared behind his back and swing the cursed sword .

Warp and slash .

(What a bad way of fighting)n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The voice of the cursed sword reverberated in my brain, however opposite to what she had said, from her tone alone she sounds like she was having fun . I laughed with my lips alone, even more enemies appeared . I cut them head on .

I warped and cut their back . I swing the cursed sword and cut them down indiscriminately . Cut, and cut and kept on cutting .

“Uoooooooo!!”

Out of no where a soldier came jumping right at me . As it was too sudden, I fall forward due to the pushing force .

“This sort of thing——Guu!!”

I stood up from where I had fallen off but one after another soldier started to jump on me . On top of the other soldier, there were other soldiers and even more soldiers above them .

One after another, the soldier started to weigh on me, in a blink of an eye a small hill was formed .

“Now is the time!!!”

“Someone kill him!”

I have completely pushed down onto the ground, I was unable to muster my strength and thus I was not able to get up . A different soldier came near to me . A spear was then aimed at my head .

I’m in pinch!

Yeah, but that was only up to yesterday . I used the warp wing . Leaving only the soldier that had formed a small hill, I teleported to 1 meter away to the sideway .

I stood upright as if nothing had happened .

I cut down the small human hill into two .

“Why, why did he…”

“Mo, it’s a monster!”

“How can we fight against something like that!”

Seeing that scene, quite a number of the soldier lost their fighting spirit and ran away . I cut down the one that came onto my way . I left those who had lost their fighting spirit alone .

“Eii, out of the way!”

After quite a while, I pushed the soldier away and one man appeared before me . From the outer appearance, he looked quite different from the others . He was wearing a splendid armor .

“You’re?”

“I’m Cyrillic Slavic . What are you! Where di Helena-hime went?”

That man is called Cyrillic, I felt like I’ve heard the name before .

“So you’re Cyrillic huh? The one who betrayed Helena-hime?”

“What if I did?”

“No, there’s nothing wrong . ”

There’s nothing wrong indeed .

Zashuu!

I swung the cursed sword crosswise and Cyrillic got his head sacked . “And there’s no reason for you to be left alive too . ”

Cyrillic is dead and the other soldiers went into panic mode and started running away rushingly .

After I throw away Cyrillic body into the well at the fort, I bring Cyrillic head with me and wrapped back to Euboi City and pass the head over to Fortis .

Fortis was greatly surprised and he asked me how exactly did I achieve such feat . As I cannot give any other better answer other than I cut and cut and kept on cutting, I replied him exactly as what I had been doing earlier .

Fortis was extremely shocked, but that was not worth my concern . Rather than that right about my heart I had this uneasy feeling, I wonder what was it about .

“I am…”

“Eh?”

Suddenly Fortis expression had turned serious . “I’ve heard my subordinates who return from their first battle often say this: If you are feeling uneasy, try embracing a woman…”

TLN : Not sure — 「はじめて戦場から帰ってきた部下によくこういう。心をもてあましたら、女でも抱いてみろ、と」

It was quite irritating to being seen through but, for making me able to understand it, he have my gratitude for that .

Let’s mofu mofu .

I’m going to mofu mofu Miu, Mofu mofu her, and kept on mofu mofu her until morning come . If I do that, I’m sure my heart will calm down . I pulled out the warp wing and was about to teleport back to the mansion .

“Kakeru-sama . ”

I heard Helena-hime called out to me . I turn to her direction and approach her .

“I am happy that you are fine more than anything . ”

“Um . ”

“My, there’s a wound on your face . ”

“Eh?”

I touched my face, on the part where I touched I could trace a cut wound . I don’t remember receiving any sort of damage . Maybe I got it when I was pushed down by the enemy lot .

Helena-hime pulled out something that looked like a handkerchief and wipe my face with it . I could feel the warmth being passed through the silk handkerchief . The fragrance tickled my nose .

The feeling of nausea—was welling up in my chest . After Helen-hime finished wiping my face, she looked at me .

She kept on looking at me and she closed her eyes after that . I took her delicate shoulder, and kissed her .
