Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an Adventurer - Volume 8 Chapter 129

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Well, then… the grounds were in an uproar. I missed the chance to tell Sister Eris to stop. Completely missed it.

“Lu, what should we do?”

“Eris wants you to herald her entry into battle. You should uphold her wishes. If you decide her life’s in danger, we can always step in.”

I looked at Schneider. He had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall. It was the stance of a spectator.

“I believe that maybe, by fighting Maribelle, I am breaking the destiny laid out by ‘Yaba Kimi’,” said the Holy Woman.

“This might be the wrong way to say it, but Eris is definitely a tool under your control, Sera. It would make no difference whether you fight or she does. Eris is showing her goodwill towards you. Let’s take a good look at Maribelle’s situation. If Eris loses here, you can step in next.” Lu winked.

…I’ll let myself be honored by Eris’s favor… and observe Maribelle. Intel is crucial!

I went to Eris’s side and gripped her hand. It had been a while since I cast a spell. I imbued Eris’s body with the novel Speed spell I had created under Nick’s guidance. For a short time, she’ll be able to move as my voice does. In other words, at the speed of sound. Eris is a knight, after all. Her eyes looked enthralled. 

“Blessed Holy Woman, though I know it is bothersome, please fight with your cape,” I said.

Eris nodded and laughed quietly. “I’m used to attire that’s difficult to move in. I will nonetheless surely bring victory to you, Saint Serafiona!”

“I’m supposed to fight you, not this evil young lady!” said Maribelle, “Ah, whatever, fine, I’ll take her on! What’s a Holy Woman to me, anyway? If that’s even a real title, it should belong to me, shouldn’t it? The mob’s reaction to this Holy Woman should be their reaction to the heroine, after all!” Maribelle retrieved from her waist side a staff with a spherical end that glittered gold.

“I will fight for peace in Schudor! Let’s go!” she said.

The referee hurriedly took his post and blew his whistle. “B-begin!” he called.

Maribelle grasped the staff with both hands and pointed it into the air. “Goddess of the heavens! Come to my aid…” 

Eris let her black cape flutter, and stepped in quickly! With her right arm, she thrust with her sword into Maribelle’s abdomen.

Thud!

Of course, it was a jab with the sword’s hilt, but it landed cleanly. I could have called that. Maribelle had left her torso wide open.

Maribelle was thrown backward, and hit the wall hard, and audibly. Eris took up her sword with her right hand and kept her body low. Maribelle hadn’t taken up a defensive position, and Eris, suspicious of this reaction, observed Maribelle without moving in just yet.

“Ungh, ungh… hurts… This hurts! I can’t believe it… me… You attacked me, the heroine…” Maribelle shot an annoyed glare at Eris. On top of that, she was mumbling something. She stood up quickly and dusted herself off.

“She recovered,” Miyu said.

…There was no damage remaining on her at all. This was exceptional healing magic power. Would it be best to attack her with a barrage, so that she has no time to recover? Or maybe knock her out with a single blow? Was the way to victory in one of those strategies?

“Now… I won’t forgive you. I absolutely won’t forgive you!” After Maribelle shrieked, she shot a sharp look at Schneider. “Release Tarlknight!” she said.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Huh?

“…Maribelle, you haven’t made sure you can work together with Tarlknight yet.”

“It’s fine! Hurry up and release him. Holy beasts are all bound to be my allies!!!”

“You dare yell out Tarl’s true name in a crowd of people like this?” said Asu’s voice, which was tinged with irritation.

“…It’s fine. Tarlknight, won’t you come forth?”

In a heartbeat, ice dust twinkled by Maribelle’s right side, and… condensed in a quick tightening motion, and took form.

Boom!

Tarl had arrived yet again.

“The Northern One of the… Four Heavenly Ones…”

Older brother’s mutterings reached my ear. Here was proof of the existence of what my older brother had searched for so long. 

Very few people, including my father, ever had the chance to see him, and the crowd began to stir. 

“Tarlknight! We’re going to flatten that woman!” Maribelle, with a raised chin, glared at Eris.

Tarl sent out a fearsome pressure wave that shook the field. Eris’s legs buckled. Eris, who was deeply pious, lowered her sword and watched Tarl in amazement.

…With Tarl’s appearance, our chances of victory were destroyed. I went to step forward, thinking it was my responsibility to pull Eris back.

“Sera-chama, let her go.” Miyu’s voice spoke from within my chest. Her voice was small, and yet, I could tell she was quietly enraged. The flowery scent of magical power grew stronger.

Both of us glaring at Maribelle and Tarl, we talked.

“…Tarl-sama is strong, you know? He nearly killed me.”

“I know. I saw.”

“If we fight Tarl-sama… you know what will happen?”

“I know.”

“It must be avoided, you know?”

“I’m not the selfish type of woman who would refuse to help Eris here.”

…Just as you’d expect from Miyu! Someone this determined couldn’t be swayed by me, anyway. Miyu is one of the Four Heavenly Ones, after all.

“Will you support discreetly?” I asked.

“You already know I’m going in with a bang!”

She’s an entertainer, after all.

“Ah… I’ve had enough. It’s time we show Tarl what his job contract entails!”

Lu suddenly broke through the illusion of Miyu! Miyu, for the first time in a long time, blew a spray of mist and changed into her true beastly form. She had grown larger since I had last seen her, and her dark blue magnificence was blinding in its brightness. She then arrived at Eris’s left side.

“Unbelievable… the North and… the east Holy Beasts… two Gods in this Westerly land…” Sukasan and Kakusan kneeled, putting their hands together in prayer.

The entire area became surrounded by purified air. Those who could see were startled by this sudden burst of light, and those who couldn’t see trembled and rubbed their skin as they felt the electrified air. 

Miyu gently nuzzled Eris’s body and rubbed up against her head with her long body.

“Ah… how lovely.” Schneider, with glinting eyes, stated his genuine impression.

“The blue one?… Kirama… isn’t it?” Tarl gazed upon his junior.

“Mister, you’ve bullied our cute little kids, and I can’t forgive you for that! Kirama-sama is really angry too, you know? How disappointing!” Miyu said.

“Are you a male, Tarl?” Maribelle asked.

Basically, Holy Beasts don’t have genders. Miyu, who lived and received a gender in this world and then became a Holy Beast, is an exception to the rule.

“I have no gender. But if I were female, and someone called me mister, you’d be done for, you know? Just as Miyu just did…”

“Dragon? Are you a dragon? Seriously? This is some serious fantasy stuff! Now, now, come over here to me! I’m Maribelle! Finally, a Holy Beast that’s not a turtle! Turtles are boring, no matter what you do.” Maribelle said to Miyu.

“Ridiculous! For you to think I would take the hand of someone so stained with such blackened sin!” Miyu suddenly sent forth a wave of murderousness!

“Kyah!” Maribelle yelped and was repelled backward. Tarl shifted behind her and stopped her from crashing into the wall.

“Wh-Why! Holy Beasts are all my allies! I know! You’re being manipulated! I’ll, I’ll save you at once!” Maribelle cried. 

“Beasts and I don’t mesh well,” Maribelle said.

“As long as we have no contract, your words me nothing to me,” Tarl said.

“Silence!”  The queen Miyu shouted and released a blast of water! Maribelle and Tarl were soaked. “Alright, now, let us truly begin again!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
