The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

Blunt metal sounds overlap intermittently.

I unleash many blades in one piece as I paper Rodion's attack. The opposing Rodion also carried out a sharp and heavy slaughter here, playing my attack with his sword.

Learning the basics of combat training in the same orphanage...... me and Rodion know each other's habits because we spent a lot of time together.

One by one, the offense continues.

Soldiers have gathered around us, but due to our differences in strength, we are unable to get our hands on our genuine killing.

"You're wearing such a joke, so I thought you were being very blunt... you're growing more than before, number 99. Lost in the sword, no mercy."

Rodion laughed lightly as he looked at the samurai clothes I was wearing.

I'm wearing prominent samurai clothing because it's easy to move, but most importantly, I can fight with readiness as a samurai Marie serving Lady Julianna.

"Samurai clothes are not kidding clothes, etc. Men won't know, but it's all kinds of convenient. Unlike your uniform to wear authority to Kasawa...!

When I take the dark vessel I was hiding in the apron out of my hips, I release it simultaneously, pointing it at Rodion's face and feet.

Where he falls apart, I pack the distance at once and shake the blade down.

(... my arm is paralyzed. Are you saying you didn't let Rodion attack you? Originally, I don't want a long fight, and I'll let you settle it early......!

The blade orbit did capture Rodion.

But he watches with a grin on this one without blinking.

When I realized intuitively that Rodion had some sort of concealed ball, I changed the blade's orbit and flew back. But release to me the knife that Rodion had hidden before that.

I let it go with one hand. It chooses my flank.

"... cum"

Bearing the pain, I distance myself from Rodion.

Somehow fatal injuries were avoided, but if left alone, he would bleed to death.

"You didn't throw away your uniform, either, did you?

Rodion said as he threw the knife into the air with one hand.

And then - a signal bullet flower blooms small in the sky where the morning sun began to shine.

(Lady......!

Flash shells have gone up, which means the lady has succeeded in rescuing the Empire's Empress.

If I were you, I would have to rush to the lady immediately to protect you. But with an injured body, the victory over Rodion is over, and you can't even get away with it.

"Half of them hurry in the direction of the signal bullet's release. Rats shouldn't be that far away."

Upon hearing Rodion's instructions, the soldiers, who were watching, rushed in unison. But half of it stays here, holding off on being able to assist Rodion at any time, such as putting up a bow or sword.

In a situation of absolute desperation, I re-grip a slippery knife with blood, sweating.

"... yes, I won't let you!

"Are you still trying to face the blade with that body? Someone important enough - right, there must be a Lord. The face of the ninety-nine is the same as a submissive dog."

"I don't care how you curse me. My pride... is mine alone!

When you pack the distance from Rodion with your dancing outfit, you wave the blade down without hesitation.

But it doesn't reach him, and my vision flips.

It was a rugged sky that spreads in front of me.

"Power, skill, experience... unfortunately, I'm better up there. Same as old."

"Guh... Ah, guh..."

Rodion has strangled me as I pushed my bloody belly with my feet.

The knife spilled out of my hand, whose strength was unsatisfactory, and I desperately rose in my sumptuous consciousness.

(Oh, Gisa, Ma! I... Marie said, oh, hey, never...)

A hand swung up to the dark clouds plunders something.

At that moment, even more Rodion put his strength into my neck.

"... Ninety-nine was retarded, too.... If you'd followed me back then... I wouldn't have died like this."

Physiological tears overflow from my eyes.

Blurred vision prevents me from reading Rodion's expression.

"Marie!!

In a sumptuous consciousness, the voice that calls me diligently fills.

At the same time I lost pressure on my neck and someone held me up.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

I cough like a ripped throat and desperately inhale the oxygen I'm running out of. Gradually when the eye focused, there was a keel with a rarely chopped look.

"Marie, are you okay!?

"No, it's just fine. You'll see when you see it."

When I breathe, I stand up yowling with my hands on Keel's shoulder.

And if you look around, a little further away, Rodion stands intact. The soldiers also remain armed.

"Marie...... is that the name now number 99?

When Rodion says so, he glances at his right cheek with his finger.

On his right cheek there was a new, thin, red abrasion.

"Don't feel safe calling my name"

I took out the knife that was bracketed on my thigh.

Set up a knife while back-to-back with Keel and send a killer to the enemies in front of you.

"You can rest, Marie. I'm good enough to take them down."

Keel put up a great sword and tsunami.

I laughed small, ignoring my body complaining about pain limits too.

"It would be obvious. I... can fight."
