A story of the time Setsu and I was summoned to this world
Setsu, why are you so calm about this?
Hah! Hah! Ah? What is this about so suddenly?
Setsu was single mindedly swinging a wooden sword.
Those eyes of his that didnt hold any hesitation was even eerie from my point of view that time.
I mean even though we suddenly came to a world we dont understand You already adapted to it. You seem like you already know what you should be doing you know
Uhmm Lets see..
Without stopping the hand swinging the sword, Setsu said.
What I ought to be doing first of all I have to get stronger right? The world looks like it has monsters and demon kings and stuff. You dont wanna die either right?
I err.
I was hesitating to say it.
That when I was in Japan, I thought I wanted to die.
I dont get it, but if you say you dont wanna die, then Ill protect you.
Eh?
Youre a fellow from the same village, right? It must be fate, lets get along okay?
I can?
It was the first time I met someone who said something like that for me.
Grey hair and red eyes; due to this kind of appearance, I never had anyone say gentle words to me.
Even my parents said I was creepy and did not come close.
Thats why, it was the first time.
I felt my heart beating and warming up.
Of course you can, Touma
He called my name with a gentle smile.
Yuki-kun
Oh, looks like you took that girl down, Yuuhi.
Judging from her appearance, Yuuhi doesnt seem to be hurt.
More importantly
Got done in pretty flashily huh, you guys.
I say towards the bunches who are on the ground.
Haha Im ashamed.
Fucking strong you know, this guy
Glain and Roa was forcing a smile.
Most of them are hurt pretty badly, but I guess theres no one here wholl be dying anytime soon.
Hm? What, Ides and Lily are alive.
I guess I lost what worried me for now.
Yuuhi, Levia. You can still move right? Gonna leave the healing of the guys on the ground to you two.
A-alright..
Okay
After seeing the two starting their movement, I face Touma one more time.
You really have the balls to hurt these guys ey? Oh Touma.
I knew it, you wont gently call me by my name like before.
Of course I wont. You, you do know what youve done right?
He hurt a lot of people.
He crushed their feelings with his foot
And above all, he hurt my companions.
I know. But, this is all for your sake!
Its strange that you and I who love each other arent together! But youre not in the wrong. Its the fault of the demons, the beastmen and a part of the humans who are deceiving you! Theyre necessary sacrifices to rescue you, you know.
going fucking mad like always.
Rather that brown haired girl over there called you with Yuki-kun didnt she?
Ah? What about that
Why is it that she is calling my Setsu by a nickname so over familiarly!?
Touma pointed his hands towards Yuuhi who was in the middle of treating Elka.
Yuuhi noticed that, but shes already too late.
Disappear!
An extra large fireball was fired.
If I remember correctly, Yuuhis forte was supposed to be fire magic.
If its her then she should get a little damage, but Elka who was in the same place would die for sure.
Oh no you dont
Thats why I wedged myself between the fire and Yuuhi and the rest and bisected that fire with Kuromaru.
Ugh! Dont get in the way!
The one doing unnecessary stuff is you. You can just fight with me, okay?
The chopped fire dispersed in the sky and vanished.
The two dont seem to have any damage for now.
Theyll end up getting rolled in if we fight like this Hey Touma, were gonna change locations.
Why do I have to go out of my way to do something to your advantage?
If you aint listening to me then Ill force you.
I kick the ground and instantly shorten the distance.
I swing down Kuromaru as is, aiming for Toumas body.
Kuh!
Touma drew out a one handed sword from inside his black robe and caught it.
With my unadjusted attack, the ground caved in.
I still have more power than you I guess.
As ever that animal strength!
Were changing places right away! Here!
I kick up this guy who became entranced despite stopping Kuromaru with my foot.
With the attack that created an opening, Touma was launched up high in the sky.
I also jump up to chase after him.
We landed simultaneously in midair.
The ground can be seen far below.
Youre really not going easy on me are you
Youre not in a position where I will go easy on you dont you think?
Well, that is true though!
Touma produced a spear that was grandly shining in his hand.
Its a magic thats like the backbone of light magic, but when Touma uses it then itll become several times as large.
What I need to do once to make you a man just for me seems to be to beat you once!
Damn
I stop the lance with Kuromaru.
The lance that was created with light magic is a lump of energy condensed of sacred light.
Its not something that can be stopped so easily.
Unghh Grah!
I somehow repelled it right over my head.
The lance which went and flew right above me, bursted in the sky after flying upwards to a certain height so that it scatters its energy.
Are you done warming up?
I could ask the same thing.
I reply and then Touma pointed his hand to the open air.
Come
The airspace broke and a sword handle appeared.
Fighting you wont get anywhere if I dont have this after all.
A sword that, unlike Koumas sacred sword, held a pitch black edge was grasped in that guys hand.
Even though it was a sword that was shining in the beginning
I know that your sword is user unfriendly. Im sorry, but Im going to have this end before you can draw it out, Setsu.
Try and do it then if you can!
I kick the sky and get closer to Touma.
Haaaaah!
Similarly Touma kicked the air and quickly approached me.
Kuromaru and the sacred sword clashed, spreading shockwaves as far as the eye can see.
The sky is cut open
Having finished her treatment, Desastre murmured while watching the sky.
The two were exchanging blows with their swords in the air and each time they do, the thick rain clouds covering the sky scattered away.
Good grief theyre on a different level arent they.
Beside her, Levia said like she was amazed.
Everyone in this place was made aware of the difference between themselves and the two.
Yuki-kun
Gah
You think you can win from me with power!?
I swing down Kuromaru from right overhead.
Touma was not in time to have each arms on his sacred sword and guard, so I was able to hit his shoulders.
Touma who was knocked down below, created a scaffold with
I knew I wont get in enough damage if you have
Its simply painful though!
Woah!
Countless number of light spears appeared around Touma.
Theyre on the same scale as the one that was beaten in the beginning, but there were about 40 at a glance.
Theres no escape!
I cut off those spears that were all fired at once and sometimes stop and avoid them.
However
Damn it!
There are too many of them.
One of the spears slipped through my guard and reached my stomach.
There, impact
The other spears then took the opportunity to come and attack the chink that was created there.
Gh that fucking hurts man!
I swing my arm and mow down the blast.
My field of vision cleared up, but Toumas no longer there.
Up here Setsu
Wha-!
Touma was right above me.
If that guy swings his sacred sword, then a
(Not good If I defend it with Kuromaru then Kuromaru will end up getting bisected!)
I thrust my hand into my magic bag right away, took out a sharp sword which I dont know when I got my hands on, and stopped the blow with it.
Although I naturally strengthened it with magic, that sword was easily cut and even a cut was put on my body.
Ow
While blood is dripping from my shoulders, I regain my posture in midair.
Sacred sword wielders have one more ability, or rather a special characteristic.
When they attack a sacred sword wielder with their own sacred sword, then that would make
Because we have that, sacred sword wielders essentially cant be taken down without another sacred sword wielder.
Huh? Isnt your arm getting dull?
Hah! Say whatever you want!
Gh!
I throw away the cut sword and once again re-equipped Kuromaru.
I kick the sky to get closer to Touma and then I swing down Kuromaru without hesitation.
Thats all!
I release
However, the time I sliced up, I successfully repelled Toumas sword upwards.
Oh no!
I throw Kuromaru up and then drive my fist several dozen times into Touma with all my might.
Since I cant thoughtlessly draw out my sacred sword, I can only attack him like this.
Gah Kuh That hurts you know!
The pummeled Touma impatiently tried to release magic from point-blank range.
Having sensed that, I quickly fall down and catch Kuromaru that came falling.
Touma also moved a little and caught his sacred sword that came falling down.
Heh, your face turned out pretty good there.
Ugh how cruel, beating the hell out of me.
Toumas face became a little swollen.
It immediately healed through his self-healing ability, but the fact he receive damage should be certain.
As for the wound on my shoulder, its also healing so were even right now I guess.
It cant be helped then I dont like fighting sluggishly so shall we up the pace a little?
Ah?
Touma pointed his sacred sword towards me.
His magic began to fill the sacred sword and the black aura spreaded.
