Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode Five: Awful Fighting

My name is Yudo Aemon. He's a regular high school student everywhere.

So after three holidays I went to school a little whimsical but seriously, talked to a friend I felt comfortable with and no other love, and then, boring classes start today - should have been.

"Ha... how did this happen..."

If I opened my eyes, it was not a familiar classroom, but an old stone room. There are no windows, built like a basement, but a white panel on the ceiling shines like a fluorescent lamp to illuminate every corner of the room.

Nothing stands out in this stone room when it comes to this. It's just a galanton.

I stand alone with a school bag on my right and a knife bag with a bamboo knife and a wooden knife on my left.

"Really, this is the other world..."

Without any idea, I, no, we, the two years of White Ridge School, all seven groups of students, were summoned to different worlds. It's an absurd story, but it won't be a wack to believe anymore because it's been sent to a strange place in reality in a flash.

A classroom suddenly engulfed in darkness. Mysterious man announcement. Magic formation of light floating on the blackboard. If that's all, it's still something that seems convincing that there's some sort of attraction or trick, but the last sight I saw just before I came to this stone room - if I saw a scene where a black crack would run all over the classroom and collapse away as if it were going to fall to the bottom of Naruto, I would make him understand without denial that Japanese common sense no longer prevails, that he was correctly caught up in the events of the magical world.

Not at all, I'm not kidding. Really, how could you do this?

"No, even if you're worried, there's nothing you can do"

Don't stop worried. Just push forward.

It's one of my grandfather's teachings. No way, you don't know that sermon-smelling phrase helps at a time like this.

All right, let's settle down first and decide on a course of action. That said, that's so obvious that you don't even have to think about it.

"First we need to find cherry blossoms, friends, and classmates"

If you believe that man's story, perhaps, the whole class should be flying to a place called this dungeon. I'm sure they're all falling apart, like me right now, but we should be able to rendezvous if we move on.

Nevertheless, it does not begin not to proceed with this dungeon. I can't help but stay forever in a room with nothing like this.

"Oh yeah, speaking of... magic formation and spells, was it"

The force needed to attack the dungeon. That should have been the explanation.

At that time, I honestly thought I'd write a magic formation, what I told everyone, but honestly, I thought I was frigid myself. But I decided it might help at all, so I ran out of words.

And again, I still think I would have been right if I had been flown into one room with this dungeon.

But really, will this magic formation and spell work, and can we help protect ourselves? As a matter of fact, isn't there a hell of a back there - there's nothing else that makes that clear than actually trying to use it anymore?

"... All right, let's go"

Already, campus notes with magic formations open and spells are in my head enough to say without having to read out notes.

Get ready, I have to...

"Kyaaaaah!

The magical ritual is blocked by a sudden and resounding scream. No, I have to interrupt.

Because I'm not the only one who can mishear the girl in my ear.

"Cherry Blossom, is it"

That voice definitely belongs to cherry blossoms.

Unlike Raina, cherry blossoms don't scream about rare things. Being tangled with black height defects doesn't break my fortitude, well, I can't believe I'm crying.

Such cherry blossoms screamed, so I'm sure that's nothing more than the imminent danger and fear.

We have to help.

Without having to be explicitly aware of that, I was only grabbing the knife bag and running out immediately.

"Cherry Blossoms! Where!

Jumping out of the stone room with momentum, I run through a dim stone aisle, just like the room. Is it about 50 meters at a distance? So I just come across a crossroads.

"... this way"

Desperately reminds me of the last minute scream, and I think my voice is uttering and I see it in the direction. I made every effort to run through the chosen passage so that I could not contain my deviant mind.

"- Cherry Blossom!

Fucking hell, there she is.

The girl in sailor clothes with long dark hair is the very figure of her familiar sister. Her white face, however, was bright blue and bloody due to the presence of fear that appeared before her.

"To, brother!

"Are you okay, cherry blossoms!

After rushing to the cherry blossoms, I finally realized what was going on.

First of all, the place was completely different from the stone construction it had just been in, with a spacious domed space, with green trees flourishing as if it were a botanical garden. If you don't look up and see the ceiling with the white panels of light, it would seem like you've gotten lost in the real woods.

And as if he were such a green forest ruler, the grand Soitz stood.

"What, is he... a bear"

If you look just at the silhouette, there is certainly nothing else than a bear. Besides, standing up on two legs is nearly four meters huge, far beyond my back length.

Once upon a time, my grandfather forced me to take him to some deep mountain in what he called training, and I ran into a wild bear at that time... but the size of the coin is so overwhelming that the bear looks like a child at that time.

"Brother, this must be the demon."

A little trembling, but what the cherry blossoms say is ultimate. It can be understood at a glance that he is completely different from the Earth's bear.

Because this bear lives in a dull steel glow, wrapped in armor.

Actually, I guess it's a crust. They are made similar to crabs and shrimps, such as thorns that grow on the surface and membranes that cover the joints. But from this size and thickness, it's not like you can easily burst it with your bare hands. That's not weird, even if you're showing steel defense the way you look.

"I'll attract him. In that gap..."

"I don't like it! I can't just leave my brother and run away!

The power of the tremendous cherry blossom arms intensifies. It seems like it also conveys a strong will to never let go.

"That's sweet, cherry blossoms...... but I can't hear that wish"

You can't ask. I must protect my sister, the cherry blossoms.

"No matter how many brothers, a monster like this can't win against them!

"I'm fine. I can't win, but somehow, if I can get away with it -"

"Just me, running away doesn't make any sense... without my brother..."

Really, because you're stubborn at times like this, cherry blossoms. In spite of this critical situation, as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy for the other half.

"Don't worry. Even I don't want to die here. I'll make sure we both get away with it."

"Is it true?"

You can't help lying. I can confidently say that I can help the cherry blossoms without regard for my own perils, but I still don't want to waste my life.

In the first place, the safety of cherry blossoms is not guaranteed even through this occasion. We have to move on to a dungeon where such horrible demons can walk.

"Trust me. Cherry blossoms, everyone, we're going back to the world together!

As I prepare, I pull the wooden knife out of my knife bag. Throw away any remaining bamboo knives and bags on the spot, in the way of battle.

Did you feel my will to fight, the big bear, who had so far only watched silently to observe at a distance, raised his sharp voice as he set up a four-legged walk with his forefoot firmly on the ground.

"So go fast, cherry blossoms!

"... ok. I'm sorry, brother."

Almost left behind in tears, the cherry blossoms finally started running. I'm not going to look back and drop you off.

"You kept me waiting, monster"

Garru, and the beast rightly groaned as they deserved, the big bear's red eyes glanced at me. The battle has already begun.

This isn't the first time I've tried a battle without a win. It's not the first time I've challenged a life-threatening battle either.

But this is the first battle I've ever fought where my life is at stake on top of absolutely no winning sight.

Scary. But I don't tremble. Because I learned how to contain fear a long time ago.

I don't like it, but I'm not running. Because I know I have something to protect, even if I don't tell you.

So I fight. Even a monster opponent can fight, not cower.

"Huh..."

Take one deep breath and calm down even more. Concentrate.

The weapon in my hand is just a wooden knife with no philosophy. In the meantime, I just bought a new one at the destination armor store.

Beautiful, sturdy, but not lethal. A thoughtful slap on the head can kill a human, but in this armored, fully armed bear, it won't hurt or itch to slap anywhere.

In the first place, even a real Japanese sword is no match for a guy like this. Well, Grandpa might be able to break every iron crust... but whatever, I still don't have as much power as Grandpa, and it doesn't change that the weapon is a wooden knife.

The means that I can use in this place are limited. The conclusions drawn are to target weaknesses in a single point concentration. I mean, eyes.

It's normal in Kendo games, but no eye poking. In other martial arts, targeting the eyes is similarly forbidden. So normally, I don't practice poking people in the eye, and I don't let them.

But I'm not. Not the wack I wanted myself to be, but still, I've been taught eye punching by my grandfather.

Totally, as a parent, as an educator, I can only do what I think is wrong with teaching such a small child an extremely dangerous forbidden hand... but now let's be honest and thank you for giving us the possibility to get through this predicament.

The wooden knife held with both hands is arranged to be shoulder and horizontal. I can round out that even amateurs are after poking, but animals, no, it doesn't matter with demonic opponents. There is no need for psychological rush. However, it is important to poke the shortest distance at the fastest.

The big bear finally moved his snug, wild forelegs to get attacked by a prey named me - now!

"Ha!

Fastest, and most powerful, of all my life to date. I can say that with confidence, it's a blow to Kaishin.

A wooden knife rolled out at such high speeds that a normal human would not be able to capture it, goes into the eyes of a big bear to be sucked in - hit!

"Goaaaaaaaaa!"

At the same time I could pull my sword back and get out of the way as a loud roar reached my ear.

It was dangerous. The moment it hit his eyes, the bear was reflexively squashing off his forelegs. If I was happy with the hand that it was a hit, that spine-grown Marutai-like arm would have blown my body off. Or, if I had been a beat late in pulling the sword, I would have been torn with sharp knife-like nails growing in my hands.

"Ha... ha..."

After finishing a series of attack operations, de perspiration erupted and a heartbeat called Bakubaku was heard.

"Please, now get out of here."

The bear that came across during the Mountain Cage Ri dispersed amazingly when his grandfather preempted him and let him eat one bullet in the tip of his nose. Grandpa said that wildlife is cowardly, so if you look at it as dangerous at all, you run away immediately, but the demons of the other world--

"Gwow, gaaaaaa!

Bleeding dodgy blood from his crushed right eye, but giggling his remaining left eye, the big bear stared at me like a resentful enemy. Apparently, demons take anger over enemies over their own safety.

"Damn, I have to do it again"

Crush both eyes. It's dangerous, but that's the only way.

Fortunately, the wooden knife never broke or let go. It is possible to launch another attack.

I try to poke my eyes out again before the big bear rushes like mad.

The success just now would be about half coincidental.

Naturally, but my eyes are small. Precise targeting requires tremendous control. I'm a little confident in the handling of swords, too, but I can't do it all the time.

Still, we'll have to do it over this period. The big bear is already in front of you. We'll make the break-in in time in one more step. I can't afford to be lost or hesitate!

"Ha -"

Running tips thrust through the sky with momentum. Same as earlier, no, I can tell for myself that it's faster than that.

And then the blade walks precisely toward the current imminent big bear, the left eye where the bright red light that burns with its anger dwells. I didn't aim for it. I had a second successful eye punch.

"- Grrr!?

Oh no, they bounced!?

To what... the question is, I've already witnessed it myself.

Originally for the exact aim, I did see the tip of the wooden knife hit my left eye. But at the moment of the hit, he meditated on his eyes.

Yes, just like your body, a lid wrapped in steel armor.

Inhibited by a hard iron lid, just a wooden knife is improbably bounced without any penetration.

And my body, returned with an unexpected defense, becomes completely defenseless and exposes a deadly gap.

"Guuuuuuuu!"

Immediately after, the intense impact that strikes the whole body.

Fu reminds me that it was last year, when I was attacked by a black high defect on a motorcycle. That's when one of those pretty crisp bad guys really came at me trying to kill me with a motorcycle.

At that time, I was able to sweep back well enough to make an impact the moment I was struck, so I didn't have as much damage as I appeared to have blown flashly, and I still had enough strength to just stab Todome in the fall defect.

"Gu, uh-oh..."

But now it's not what it was then. The body wrapped around the spiked crust is correctly the whole body murder weapon itself. Such a guy punched me in the face. Besides, if you look at this giant, it would weigh far more than a motorcycle then. You can't be safe. It's so strange that he's still alive.

I wake up and look forward, somehow, in my somewhat confused head and my sumptuous vision.

Apparently, I'm falling for a lie. Fortunately, I don't have that much pain in my body. Probably paralyzed.

"Damn... now, it's over... is it..."

The phenomenon of 'death', which I feel helplessly.

I don't have enough strength left to fight anymore. Speaking of which, the wooden knife has also let go somewhere. Even with a sword, you can't even stand up in this state.

Oh, no. My victory was completely crushed by the second time I was prevented from punching my eyes.

I lost. And the end of a human defeated by such a monster, so to speak. Only to be eaten to death, according to the code of nature.

"... Huh!?

But when the big bear gave me a glimpse, he turned to me like I'd completely lost interest. No, no, he didn't just turn a blind eye.

Yes, he's staring in the direction of the cherry blossoms fleeing. That is, it was pointed at the stone aisle where I first came through.

"Ma..."

Cherry blossoms are in danger.

Bear behavior, if you think calmly, is really sensible. I, the corpse, won't run away if I leave him alone anymore. There's nothing wrong with coming back after the cherry blossoms.

"Wait, I..."

When I raised my voice to squeeze it out, the taste of blood overflowed my mouth.

Even if we literally throw words of restraint with desperation, there is no way that demons who don't solve people's words can stop. Only continue the hunt without being disturbed by anyone, rocking the boar and the steel giant.

His right eye is crushed, but his left eye is safe. At least, there's no obstacle to catching them chasing cherry blossoms.

And cherry blossoms, even though they are far better experienced in martial arts than how many normal girls, it is ultimately impossible to deal with that big bear with a round waist. In the unlikely event that a bear catches up to you and attacks you, there is zero chance that it will help.

"Sakura..."

Are you going to die? Me, too, and the cherry blossoms. Am I going to die without protecting the cherry blossoms?

"I'll... protect you..."

Yes, I'll protect the cherry blossoms. I have to protect you.

Because I'm your brother. Protect my sister. Naturally.

And I would have sworn, of course. Make sure I protect the cherry blossoms.

"Oh, me... but..."

An oath to recall. A determination not to fade ten years after that. Hot feelings gushing from the back of my chest move my body.

"Ugh, ooh..."

Slowly, put your right hand on the ground, your left hand on the ground. The feel of the earth is transmitted to the palms. It's okay, my nerves aren't dead yet.

Move. Then you should be able to stand.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stand. Exhausting your hands, slowly, on both feet. I'll get up.

All right, I'm standing. Come on, let's go.

"Gu, ha... ah..."

So, it was the limit.

A hot mass rising from the bottom of his belly is forced to push his throat wide and spit out of his mouth. It was bright red, blood.

Then this time, my body stops, as if to reject my will in any way. As if the blood you just spit out was all the energy that moves the flesh.

Forever, not a single step can be taken. However, watching the bears go away, I sank into the ground again, unnecessarily.

……

No more voices. I don't even feel my hands and feet. This time, really, I don't feel anything.

But only my thoughts don't fit in helplessly.

Please, move. Move it. One more minute, no, even thirty seconds.

If you run after him now, again, you have a chance. Now if you crush your left eye, cherry blossoms will surely help.

So, please. At the very least, let me protect the cherry blossoms...

- Wake up.

In the feeling of sinking into the mud of despair, I felt like, uh, I heard that voice.

"Wake up."

No, it's not my fault. The voice, a mysterious voice... of a beautiful woman, it sounded beautiful and incredible like nothing I'd ever heard before, and the voice was calling me something.

"Wake up, chosen Son of Light."

What? Light? Your son, me?

"Now the world is about to be filled with evil darkness again"

It's like I don't know what that means. I don't know anything about the world, like light or darkness.

"Dark, devil."

It doesn't matter. I just... I just want to protect the cherry blossoms.

"You bring white light to the world - be the 'brave'"

And indeed the world was filled with light.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

If I'd noticed, I'd be up again.

The sensation of the hands and feet is returning, no, rather much more powerful than usual. As if it was a lie that was dying, my body was in more complete condition than I had ever felt before.

"Whoa, hey, what the heck!?

Something is glowing. Something, or my body's glowing. I thought the world was full of light, and apparently I was just glowing myself.

If you observe carefully, the flesh itself is not emitting light, but a bright white misty twist, no, something to call even aura emits like hot air, and that surrounds my whole body.

"Maybe this is the power of the 'brave'..."

The voice of a mysterious woman who was heard on the verge of death. That was like a god's announcement.

Normally, I think it would be just a hallucination, but until just now, my body is definitely dying from a serious injury, and that's recovering in a flash. Above all, it shows that this white and radiant aura is an unhelpful and paranormal manifestation of power.

"God, huh?"

Speaking of which, the example spell was a sentence that borrowed God's help. Maybe God is real in this other world, and it really helps people.

"No, not now."

Yeah, I don't have time to think of it as allekore.

If I have power, that would be God's miracle, but it would be mere coincidence, but whatever. Thank you, let me use it.

Yes, I am.

"- Protect the cherry blossoms!

Rushing legs are surprisingly light. The body thrust forward with a gnaw, rather than the momentum of falling off a cliff. Now, it feels as if you are perfectly in control of every corner of your body, not even willing to fall.

I'm outrageously strong right now.

That's clear and understandable, I'm sure, because I've always figured out what my strength is. In school clubs, I don't see my limitations that way, but if I mess with my grandfather every day, I can see them even if I don't want to.

So, I get it. I thought I couldn't go beyond that right now, no, not me, but everyone else, at a height that is absolutely unreachable in being human.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Driven by the inexhaustible force gushing from the depths of my body, I quickly catch up to the back of the big bear.

Whether my ambition stung my ear, or because I'm sensing signs of such awesome 'power' that even this self is about to be blown away with wild inquiries, the bear reacted quickly. Look up and look back like you've been bounced, or a sudden flip in an incredibly light motion from that giant.

If you noticed, a giant nearly four meters stood up on two legs and was in the motion of smashing me straight approaching with steel arms as it were.

I don't even have a wooden knife. It's an overwhelming attack that can't be helped. Unable to avoid or prevent, not to mention pick it up at the counter.

But now I was wondering, I didn't feel like losing. I will always win.

As sure as I am, I shake my arms up. As if a real sword was held there - no, at this time, I did have a wave of 'sword' in my hand.

"" The Holy Sword of Light (Cross Caliber) "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A flashing white flash. I clearly saw the sight in front of me while I was in a bright storm of blind light.

It is a sword of light. I have a white, shining sword of light in my hand.

Momentum waved down the sole turns off a giant steel body without difficulty.

It was as overwhelming, yet pitiful, as the divine light, like the heroic cartoon I saw as a child, tore down a horrible monster.

The steel crust is torn as if it were a seemingly knockout, and the contents of the giant body pass through as if it were just water. But I also felt that it was definitely handy.

The blade of light I shook made the demon of the bear break vertically.

"... go, ooh"

From the mouth of a bear that was spread out full of eyes, the next moment a slightly terminal voice leaked - its enormous body, disappearing.

The cutting surface from the ceiling of the head to the crotch is enveloped in bright white light without blood and guts erupting. From there, within a moment, the white light covered the corpse in the middle of another collapse to the left and right, and before falling to the ground, everything became grains of light and bounced off.

"Ugh!?

I was supposed to just stare at such an incredible phenomenon of carcass disappearance, but accidentally, particles of white light drifting in the air began to kill into my body so that it could be inhaled.

I move my arms to shake them off, accidentally raising my voice - oh, speaking of which, the sword of light is gone from your hands already. My futile resistance ended while I thought about it.

Because if you notice, all the particles of light have disappeared beautifully and refreshingly, as if they had been absorbed by your body.

"Hey, what was that..."

In the meantime, I don't feel any abnormality in my body. Touch the light and it was hot, never.

Instead, if this is how it all ends, my body is intact, and the image of my enemy, the bear, disappears, and I fall into the feeling that the battle itself was a bad dream.

Really, what was it - and you'd think if I woke up in my own bed here, it's a forest dome where I am, and the school run I'm wearing has scars from eating a big bear's special tackle. So no doubt, there was an earlier fight. I was revived by God's miracle after I was severely wounded, and with the sword of light, I wiped out the bear.

All right, fine. Very unconvincing, but yes, let's just understand.

Well, next time, it's not like you're already in a place like this. If the threat is gone, follow the cherry blossoms immediately.

"To, brother..."

"Cherry Blossom!? How could you be here!

Besides, if I turned to the voice I was called in, like, there was just a sister-in-law peeking into my face from the part that would be the entrance to the stone aisle.

"No way, you came back to help me."

"Yes. My 'vocation' is - oh, brother!

I was going to get mad at you for being stupid, but, what, suddenly, I lost my power...

"Brother! I'm fine!

"Oh, oh... cherry blossoms, I'm fine, so..."

For a moment, it feels like you've lost your mind. In fact, this is how I fell to the ground and my memories were flying for a short time until I was being held up by cherry blossoms.

This is pretty serious. Filling your body is weakness, like when you finish a fierce special training session in the midst of official lighting. It's okay, it's just a strong mouth.

No, I can't even stay conscious anymore.

"So... don't cry, cherry blossoms..."

Finally, I wipe the large tears in my circular eyes with my fingers and I let go of my consciousness.

Oh, please, the next time you wake up, may you be back in your original world. Please, God. I don't want to be a brave man. So get me back to just a high school student, to a peaceful routine.
