The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor
Episode 10: Reaper's Blade
………………
At the end of Anna's attack on us, the anomaly that had been properly attacked stood up flat and quickly regenerated her heads and arms.
... obviously more magic power than before.
Lily asked, slightly puzzled, with her sword on her shoulder.
"Gaining time is where I want to be ~... what should I do with someone I can't kill?"
“It's easy, let me show you how to do it first.♪”
With that, Linster's maid, who was twitching in one eye, began to run.
One eye is narrowed and the anomaly is on the left hand.
And then--
"! The ice..." "The sword?"
"Anna!"
A sophisticated [Ice Sword] emerged that was distinctly different from the previous one.
With Lilly's pressing voice striking her ears, the alien swings her Ice Sword down to the small maiden's head without making a fool of herself!
"Ugh!" "Nuuu!"
Instantly, countless blades of ice scattered in all directions, attacking us as well.
Flaming flowers fluttered, and even if I caught more than half of them, I desperately knocked down the rest and struck them down. Anna!?
There was nothing like a maiden who was slammed with an ice sword in front of her. No way... did you get hit?
"Grrrr!"
In a leaning forward position, Lilly, who had a steep face at any moment, tries to dare to charge.
Lydia used to say that. I have some respect for my cousin, Anna.
While the flaming flowers burn the pitch-black snowfield, the red-haired older girl tries to step out,
"Wait! It's Linster's!! If you go now... you'll get caught up in it."
Conquered by Laranore's "Seven Heavens", who survived the ice-bladed storm unscathed.
I was trying to bring Lilly along to the close-quarter battle, and I was watching ahead.
Immediately after that, a pleasant voice came from the open ceiling of the large hole.
"Well, Lady♪Lily, Her Royal Highness Princess Cheryl, for my sake." Thank you.I have to thank you for that, right? "
Anna!?
How the hell did you manage that storm?
…………
As I questioned, the alien waved his right hand to reveal the long spear of ice.
Then, the ice spear was crossed with the ice sword, and the dark magic power was concentrated.
Somehow, the maid who stood on the ceiling and looked down at the ground was about to be defeated.
The "Seven Heavens" pierced the ground with two swords, creating a magical barrier.
"... look. If you want to catch up with Allen and outrun him... watching Eusten's [Shinigami] is never a bad experience."
"... [Reaper] 's" "Skill?" "
Me and Lily repeated the words as they clasped their wands and great swords.
I knew Anna was strong. Probably a lot more than all of us who haven't connected Allen's magic.
But... do you think there are other moves?
The anomaly slowly spread out the Ice Spear and Ice Sword.
"That stance... hmmm. It seems that it was the Demon King who attacked you." It must have been quite careless to have to imitate the defeated opponent's moves. ─ ─ "
Releasing a pitch-black icy wind, [Fallen God] kicked the ground as hard as he could and jumped.
A tremendous rift ran through the cathedral, destroying it even more.
Anna put her index finger on her lips and twisted her left eye.
"Eh!?!!" "... it's a horrible move."
The anomaly stops in the air as if it had been seamed. Black blood spurts out.
As soon as I tried to freeze the wound, the blood continued to flow and drip on the ground.
My head was confused in the face of an incomprehensible situation...... but when I was a student, I remembered being graciously treated by Allen while drinking tea alone in a cafe with a light blue roof.
At that time, I was good at close-quarter warfare that made magic power speak for itself.
Sheryl, you can use so much light magic, you better learn to detect more. That way... even if something happens that I don't understand, I think I can understand it by magic. At least it'll help you understand. ”
... right, Allen. That's right.
I waved my wand wide and activated the remnants of the light magic that stretched throughout the cathedral.
You can't see anything you can't see with magic.
"!? This is..."
Cheryl-sama?
Lily turned her gaze to confusion as I continued.
Sometimes it wasn't connected to Allen's magic power, and even the third seat of the Duke of Linster was impossible to see.... naturally.
Every day since graduating from Royal College, I've trained Allen's Light Attribute Detection Magic.
That's why... barely, [I saw it with magic].
― ― Fallen God had a huge invisible blade that pierced through his torso and limbs.
Anna put her hands together and smiled calmly.
"I, as the maid of the Duke of Linster, have a bit of a habit of rough times. If it weren't for your skills tosay [Fallen God] close to immortality"
The invisible blade was swung - the anomaly was chopped and fell to the ground. Along the way, ice branches grow and regenerate.
No way, this technique.
"... are you usually pretending to be a [samurai] and mixing completely invisible blades in a blind spot?" I-I don't know how to identify such an attack..... "
Nhhh, I'm sorry to hear that, right?
From behind, Anna's gentle voice.
Looking back in a hurry, there was a chestnut brown-haired maid with a black cat-looking demon on her left shoulder.... transfer magic? But I didn't feel any magic. Lilly was gazed upon, but she shook her head slightly. You don't know this girl, do you?
Anna didn't seem to want to answer my and Lily's questions, so she acted deliberately.
"When we met once at the royal palace, Allen saw it for the first time and bullied me..." I'm such a weak maid... "
"Ah, it's weak... hey, Lily"
"Master Cheryl, if you're worried, you'll lose. Is this the maid director and Allen?" And I think there's a lot of other things to hide ~ "
The older maid shrugged her shoulders. Well... yes. You're the maid of the kingdom's most militant.
The "Seven Heavens" drew sharp attention. Earlier, the deformities that had been torn apart stretched out icy branches and gathered together.
"It's coming! Lord Anna... it's happening, isn't it?" That was a brilliant move! It's better to ask!! Is there anything else? "
The anomaly in front lies on the ground and transforms its shape.
What is this... Ice Wolf?
While Lily and I were spinning the magic, the chestnut brown-haired maid stroked the demon on the left shoulder.
"Thank you, but first of all... here!" I could use your help, Anko-sama. If the opponent comes beyond the [door], there should be no problem even if they wave their strength. "
