Chapter 149 End of the Vacation ??
Part 2
I adjusted my breathing. And I swallowed my frustration at the unexpected situation, Tino unleashed a slash bursting of energy in a fluid manner.
The battle was more stalemated than I had imagined. My opponents were weaker than me, but there were more of them. It was Tino who was at a disadvantage, especially when I tried to make a decisive move, my opponent would run away.
.
Even though Tino had taken great pains to adjust her yukata, she already took it off. The defensive capabilities of a yukata were negligible anyway, it was better than it getting in the way of my footwork as it could become fatal. If everyone around me is an enemy, then it isn’t embarrassing to be wearing only underwear.
The contrast between her white skin and her black underwear that she had bought when she went shopping with her Onee-sama was vivid. Beads of sweat slid down her snow-white skin and her breasts, which were a little more modest than the average, swayed with her violent movements.
“Not bad!” (Female assassin)
“Tsk!” (Tino)
Tino didn’t answer.
The woman took a large step and as she swung her dagger up, she let it go and also took off her yukata and beneath it, was a stab-proof vest, and then she retreated a few steps and checked on her dagger. Three men who had challenged Tino in close-combat were already on the ground, but there were still seven more.
The time limit of ten minutes had already passed long ago. No, Tino already understood that she wouldn’t be able to defeat them in ten minutes right after they start fighting them.
They were stalling for time. Maybe they understood that they would suffer casualties if they wanted to take down Tino, so they switched tactics.
My opponents’ fighting technique made the best use of their numbers. They were accustomed to fighting against people who were stronger than themselves. Or, to be more precise, they are used to winning by any means necessary.
I bit my lip at that fact but I didn’t stop moving. I can not retreat.
I couldn’t turn my back on them. Tino was already surrounded.
If I turn my back on them, a knife will fly at me. It may not be powerful, but it will be accurate. There was a high possibility that it would be coated with poison. There was no way I would be able to take it.
Tino is stronger than anyone else in the siege, but she wasn’t as fast as ?Absolute Shadow (Zetsu Ei)?.
However, even Tino has reinforcements. It was Onee-sama and Sytry Onee-sama.
The assailant in front of me is probably part of a large organization. If Onee-sama and Sytry Onee-sama notice that something is wrong, they will be the first to come to Master’s help. The woman in front of me said that she had captured two Members of ?Strange Grief?, but there was no way that both of my Onee-sama would be defeated when Tino couldn’t hold a candle against them. Not to mention Master.
I knocked down the knife coming from my right side with my dagger while being careful not to touch the blade and bent down to avoid a knife which was difficult to avoid that was coming from my left side.
Onee-sama’s spartan education also covered long-range attacks. Although it was only done when Anthem Onii-sama was there to take the role of healing her, Tino was repeatedly torn to pieces by knives. And compared to the throwing speed of ?Absolute Shadow (Zetsu Ei)?, the assailants’ throwing speed wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Compared to my hellish training, the movement of the people in front of me was a standstill.
I am confident in my evasion skill. Moreover, that was also an essential skill for fighting when you are solo.
“Should I say, as expected of the ?Strange Grief? that I had heard so much.” (Female assassin)
“Tsk…… Don’t underestimate me!” (Tino)
“Your stamina is just like a monster.” (Female assassin)
Don’t lose your composure. The more I am being pushed, the sharper my concentration becomes.
I have been beaten to a pulp my whole life. There were many times when I thought I was going to be killed.
The movement of the woman in front of me was beginning to slow down. Unlike Tino, she had probably never been forced to run every day until she collapsed. It is said that Mana Material is only absorbed in times of crisis, so she probably hasn’t been forced to play a real hellish game of tag in Shrines where you would be half-killed if you are caught.
My body remembered how I moved when I was wearing the mask. But, it wasn’t enough. I didn’t have enough power.
The blow of the Tino of that time was much heavier. If the mask’s ability is to draw out your potential, then Tino must still have a long way to go.
The woman’s expression begins to mix with impatience at the fact that Tino hasn’t slowed down at all. My kick grazed her abdomen and she retreated way too much to avoid Tino’s punch that had followed. Tino sensed a feeling of fear in her movement.
Everything that has happened so far ?? Was all thanks to Onee-sama and Master’s teaching who has given power to Tino.
I can do it. Following the flow, I stepped in and pressed on.
The knife that her companion had shot to keep Tino in check was completely in her blind spot, but she avoided it with only the sound of the blade cutting the wind. My kick pierced the black vest wrapped on her stomach, and in a flash, the tip of my dagger shallowly wounded the woman’s shoulder.
The pain made the woman’s expression momentarily change for a moment. Bloody red blood dripped onto her white skin.
“If all of you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will not take your lives.” (Tino)
“Tsk…… What a naive, thing to say ??“ (Female assassin)
I can win. Call me naive, but Tino was still not as used to killing people as both of her Onee-sama.
Of course, I won’t hesitate. Monsters and humans are also alive. However, if I can end it without killing, it would be better.
Tino glared at her when the woman bit her lip as if she was pressured by it. At that time, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her.
“O?, we’re getting outta here! I’ve captured ?Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)?!”
“Huh!?” (Tino)
What they said was unexpected. I was unsettled for a moment.
The moment I turned around, I was hit by the woman and fell to the floor.
Maybe because I was stabbed, a strong heat ran through my abdomen. But Tino didn’t have time to worry about that and raised her head.
In Tino’s field of vision were five men accompanied by a thin man with his head covered in a cloth bag and had his hands tied. Maybe because he was gagged, he tried to speak, but he was unable to make any sound.
Other than the one here, were there…… More of them? I expected reinforcements, but I didn’t think they had already searched the inside of the Ryokan ??.
I stood up quickly, but a sharp pain in my abdomen made my vision flicker. I have been stabbed countless times, but the pain was different than usual. Was it poisoned as I had expected?
I let my guard down. It wasn’t extreme, but I can’t move as fast as I used to earlier.
While holding her shoulder, the woman said with a suspicious expression.
“That simple ?? Is he really ?Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)??” (Female assassin)
“I’ve checked all the rooms. There were no other guests. I’m sure of it!” (Subordinate)
“Well done! Sorry ‘bout that. I am taking your, Leader.” (Female assassin)
The woman’s eyes widened and smiled ferociously.
Their withdrawal was as swift as their appearance. The women left the entrance as if waves were receding.
Tino could only look at them in dismay.
§?§?§
“I wonder if I should make an open-air bath in the Clan House…… Will Eva be mad at me…… Or will Lucia scold me.” (Cry)
As I *pukapuka* floated in the hot water, I yawned and rubbed my eyes.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
It’s so funny how the female assassin thinks Tino is one of Strange Grief. I wonder what her reaction will be when she meet Liz XD
And Tino’s training was really a hellish training. I wonder how she survived…
But I wonder who that kidnapped guy is…? XD
