Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an Adventurer - Volume 8 Chapter 138

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Keeeeeee!

A harsh sound rang out and echoed all about. As I plugged my ears and searched for its source, I saw Asu up in the air flapping his wings in short choppy movements and conjuring the noise.

“This frequency dulls the workings of the brain. Everyone, keep it out of your ears as much as you can!” Asu called out to us.

Brother glared up into the air while holding his ears shut, and changed his target from Miyu to Asu. He ran with his sights on Asu and leaped into the air. He was going to try to cut off his wings!

“Emperor! Take this!” yelled Grandpa Sieg all of a sudden, throwing something from the stands. As Gilan jumped and it slapped into his grasping left hand, he shucked off the scabbard and discarded it. It was a pitch-black broadsword, unsheathed.

It was Trundle’s Blacksword. This sword was said to be unbreakable. It was always left by Grandma’s side as a sword of holy protection. Was it brought out despite this tradition? To be prepared for unforeseen circumstances? I would expect nothing less of Grandpa… He was the God of Wind, after all.

But would this Blacksword be enough to fight back?

Gilan caught the downward slash of Brother’s blade in midair, in front of Asu.

Though Gilan’s shoulder buckled under the heavy blow, the Blacksword held, and he pushed back.

They flailed downwards in the air, and as soon as they hit the ground, they both dashed at each other with lunging steps. As they met, they lowered their centers of gravity and began exchanging sword strikes, over and over, rapidly.

Asu’s unpleasant screeching didn’t stop. It was starting to get to me. Whether it was meant to snap Brother out of it or inhibit his movements, this was a double-edged sword for our side.

Brother distanced himself with a backstep. He had no reason to, though – he wasn’t being pressed hard. I had a bad feeling about this.

Brother used his left hand to conjure from the magic room again, pulled something out, and as he squinted while aiming, threw it!

Asu, flapping and conjuring the sound… was hit by a kunai at the base of his wing! A burst of bright red blood fell to the ground.

“Asuuuuu!” I yelled.

Why did it hit him? Though it’s true that Asu was busy conjuring a complicated form of magic, how could the kunai break through his defenses!? Holy Beasts aren’t that fragile! Miyu’s scales, too, were only damaged because it was the Orihalcon used on her.

“Ah…” I muttered. It was Orihalcon, too. That kunai.

Brother had excavated some Orihalcon, and there’s no way he would only make one blade out of it. He probably has a lot of weapons…

Our opponent had an endless supply of Orihalcon weapons, and we only had the one Blacksword. Our options were limited. A drawn-out battle was out of the question.

Asu lost his balance and began to flutter down in circles. Gilan broke into a dash and just before Asu struck the ground, Gilan caught him and stopped him from crashing.

Asu’s crimson blood stained Gilan’s military garb. The wounds were deep, but Asu would eventually heal himself. He needed time to tend to his injuries, though! He wouldn’t be able to concentrate on that with an enemy before him!

The sound stopped.

Brother, with still empty eyes, moved to attack Gilan.

Gilan, while holding up a full-grown beast, was unable to move. He shifted Asu to his right, and with his left hand, he gripped the sword. With eyes glaring at Brother, he left his heart wide open. To challenge Brother.

Was he planning to counter? Would he be able to? There was no way this wouldn’t end in bloodshed.

…Please stop, Don’t fight anymore, I thought, I don’t want to see anybody else get hurt because of me. My brother, whom I love, slashing at Gilan, whom I also love… How can I bear to watch such a thing? 

I’m sorry… that I’m weak. I’m sorry… that I couldn’t settle this earlier.

I grasped Father’s hand tightly. With all… All the gratitude I could manage.

“Serafi?” Father said.

“…Speed” I said, conjuring. I shook out of our grasping hands and leaped out. I advanced forward, without looking back.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Sera!!!” yelled Lu, who was protecting Miyu, which caused Gilan to react. At that moment, Brother gripped his sword with both hands, and taking advantage of this distraction, he aimed and stabbed straight at Gilan’s heart.

I slid in between them.

Guh…

The Orihalcon broke through my many defensive barriers, and if it had reached Gilan, it would have been his heart, but as for me, since I had raised myself up a bit, it hit me in the left collarbone.

The pain was immense. My blood sprayed out.

Right in front of me was my handsome, expressionless Brother’s face. He really did look sharp.

Blegh.

The blood from my chest came up, and I vomited it. My legs gave out beneath me. This was a familiar feeling. In my last life, whenever I lost too much blood, I felt this way.

“Sera!” Gilan yelled, uncharacteristically… He grabbed me from behind while still holding onto Asu, too.

…It didn’t… go all the way through me… I thought …The wound and the sword in it are frozen… It probably stopped bleeding…

“Sera!” Asu called, and without consideration for himself, kissed my forehead… He panted into my face… It was like taking a hot bath.

Ahh… I need to tell… Brother… That it’s ok… To not worry about this… After all… He was being controlled…

“Seraaaa!!!” called Miyu.

“Sera-chamaaaa!!!” called Lu.

Oh… no… I’m starting to… not hear well… Snap out of it! I have to! I finally raised my arm, and with my finger, I gently touched Brother’s eye. Brother is gripping the sword handle, so… He can’t stop me… Haha… Pain… Pain… Go away…

These eyes will at some point… turn back green and glimmer brightly… As if remembering… Me and everyone else…

“…Brother… I love you… Don’t be sad… It’s ok… Remember… My brother… whom I love…” I said.

Unexpectedly, a flash ran across Brother’s eyes. They wavered. He furrowed his brow and shook his head.

“…Mother? …Why… What… Sera… fiona?” he said.

I didn’t know what the trigger was, but the piercings on my ears burst with a light tinkling noise. Brother’s eyes splintered. He let go of the sword he had been gripping all this time and slapped his hands to his eyes. When he removed them… his eyes were awake!

“Se, Serafiona!!! I-I…” Brother said, and began to sob.

Ahh… Brother… So gentle… Those emerald eyes that stir the winds of Granzeus… are crying… No… Don’t cry… Brother’s tears… I haven’t seen them since… that far off… Snowy day 

“Serafi!!! Serafi!!!” called Father. 

Father’s… Healing magic…

“Wait! This sword is serrated! You can’t forcefully pull it out!!!” Miyu said.

“…Move! Damn it, we need her to drink my blood!!!” Asu said.

Asu… So boisterous… If I drink Asu’s blood… I’ll end up immortal…

“Sera, Sera, We’re going to help you right away! Stay with us! Asu! Heal yourself this instant! And then hurry up with Sera! Please!” said Gilan. 

This instant… How bossy… Gilan was so pale… He was holding me… Whispering encouragement in my ear. For such a long time… I’ve been the only one… he could trust. I also found Gilan’s ear, so that I could speak into it.

“Gilan… I’m sorry… I can’t keep… my promise… I said I wouldn’t leave you… I swore I’d protect you forever… I’m dragging you back into solitude…” I said.

“Sera, I won’t allow that! Come back!!!”

Gilan’s magic was going crazy inside me.

“Sera…” said Lu.

Ah… Lu… My other half… My precious treasure…

Overflowing tears stung my eyes. Lu lapped them up. His tongue was rough. Hahaha…

Lu was forgiving me. Good… good…

“Lu, thank you…” I said.

“Don’t leave me here!!” Gilan screamed, “Seraaaaa!!”

◇◇◇

“J-judgment!” Miyu muttered softly. The blue lights shined.
