Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

At the center of the violently blowing squall stood Aero.

She was clad in a green dress, and the sword was not in her hand anymore.

What is that You threw away your sword?

Threw away my sword? Dont talk foolish. My sword is all this wind

Like a conductor, she swung her arms.

And as if abiding that, the wind sprung forth and began to enclose Ramina.

Not good!

Ramina released an iai cut.

One attack with maximum power put in.

However, cutting up the wind current, which has turned into a wall, was already beyond her power.

Tch it didnt work

Its futile. You cannot cut the wind

Kuh

Little by little, the wind walls drew near.

Despite not yet touching them, new wounds had already begun to appear on Raminas body.

Now, die in obscurity within

The wind wall increased its speed at once and swallowed up Ramina, who was inside it.

Pitifully, her body was turned into pieces by the tornado that is equal to many blades swirling around is what did not happen

So you escaped from above after all!

Gh!

Ramina escaped by jumping up.

A tornado basically means that there is an enclosure in the center.

It is difficult to call it an enclosure due to having been narrowed already, but she had at least the time to be able to escape in an instant.

However, Aero naturally anticipated that.

Hah!

The blade of a gale made an assault towards Ramina, who could not move around in mid-air.

Air Walk!

Ramina chanted Air Walk against that.

Kicking the air, she avoided it to the side.

She was grazed due to the widely spread attack, but it did not make a direct hit.

And then she kicked once more, instantly drawing near Aero.

Second Iai, !

Guh

, an Iai technique, whose speed is considered the best and whose purpose is to hit with certainty.

Firstly, a regular Iai cut would be released and secondly, it returns once to the scabbard and this time an iai cut is released once again with the opposite side.

By doing those series of actions rapid enough to do it in one breath, it would make one feel like they were cut simultaneously.

Originally its a technique that makes use of force by stepping strongly on the ground, but Ramina performed that in mid-air.

Despite that being the case, her swordsmanship was beautiful and powerful.

Aero, after being fascinated for a moment, came to her senses and defended the first attack with her arm.

However, the blade reached her body before she could deal with the second attack.

A shallow cut was made close to below Aeros chest, making her spill blood.

In response to Ramina, who tried to do another follow up attack upon landing, Aero dodged the attack by leaping behind.

I didnt think I would be injured in this state

Aero was somewhat shaken.

Originally, she should have defeated her by the coordinated technique back then.

However, the result was that they were splendidly avoided and she was attacked until she bore a wound.

She had not experienced fighting this long with mankind in the past.

However, your feet are already useless, arent they

Raminas right foot was cruelly full of wounds just by looking at it, by the wind she was grazed with when she escaped the tornado and dodged in the air.

Her left foot had few wounds and could move sufficiently, but keen movements were no longer possible.

If you kneel now, I will send your head flying instantly. But if you still feel like fighting dont think you can die so easily

Aeros intimidating air emitted the highest pressure until now.

Receiving from the front, Ramina extended her hand to the sheathed katana without turning away her straightforward eyes.

Throwing down a fight is impossible for me. I shall have you accompany me to the end

So you want to die

Ramina took an Iai stance and sharpened her senses.

It was in a manner where no unnecessary strength was put in, and which did not let her feel the pain on her wounds.

If you want to suffer then just as you wish! I will cut your limbs one by one and slowly mince your body!

Aero released a gale of the largest scale so far.

While putting large cuts even on nearby houses, the bladed gale drew near Ramina.

Final Iai,

Ramina strongly stepped forward with her left foot.

Blood spouted out the instant she stepped the ground on her right foot, but she did not look like she minded it.

With smooth movements, the drawn katana was swung as it held a white radiance, cutting the wind and bisecting Aeros body, who was not in a location where the katana could ever reach.

What?

What she recognized was that the wind she released was cut and dispersed.

As if an unseen cutting attack had bisected only Aeros body without scratching the nearby houses at all.

The short moment until she fell to her death, Aero continued to ponder to the true shape of that technique.

In the end, she was unable to learn of its true shape, even when she completely lost consciousness.

It seems you couldnt see it, Im relieved. I can still fight from here on

The timing when Ramina sheathed her katana and half of Aeros body dropped to the ground were simultaneous.

Kuh

The next moment after sheathing her katana, Ramina lost all her strength at once and fell on the ground.

I lost too much blood I guess I cant move. I hope Jion and Setsu are alright

While resting her body face up, Ramina continued to worry over the two.

Gah Hah

I kick the face of Mirage who has fallen down.

Uguh

I put one punch onto her body when she greatly bent backwards and timing her bending forward and her face sticking out, I drive a high kick on her face.

I grasp Mirage who was flying to a side road with earth-shattering speed, push her to the ground and strike her face.

Gafuh

Barrage, barrage, barrage.

Not minding it despite denting the ground, I did nothing but strike her.

This womans mirror shields and my copies finally caught up when I did so, so I smash the mirrors and roundhouse kicked one of my copies to death.

When I killed one, its figure returned to the mirror and disappeared. I see.

B- be damned

So tenacious

Gofuh

When I kicked her stomach, she flew while gouging out a straightened path.

Is it about time for the residents to notice the disaster and come out? Well, whatever, doesnt matter.

Haa haa You, what is that power

Does it matter? That kind of question that is

I close the distance with a kick, hold Mirages head and struck it on the ground.

A spiderweb shaped crack spread, and a groan leaked out from under my hand.

I raise that up and sink it to the ground many times over.

Youve gone quiet

Around the time cracks started to appear even onto the nearby houses, she finally stopped groaning.

Did she die? If she fainted, then Im gonna have to deal the finishing blow

Gh Haaaaaaah!

W-!

Suddenly opening her eyes, Mirage pointed the palm of her hand towards me and began packing energy.

Is this divine power?

Think Ill let you?

Guh Just this much!

I once again struck her to the ground, but her hand was still pointed at me.

I thought about brushing it away, but the next moment my field of vision was dyed in light.

I broke through a second storey house and revolved in mid air after been blown away upwards.

My upper body was burned here and there. I also feel some pain.

But its not so much to make a fuss about.

Struggling in vain eh?

Haah Haah

When I landed and returned to where I was with a kick, Mirage was glaring at me while breathing with her shoulders.

Shes already tattered.

According to Stroh, sacred swords dont seem to be able to regenerate themselves.

In other words, if I inflict this much damage on her, then I have essentially won.

More importantly, one more attack might be plenty with her in this state.

Are you prepared?

Fuh The one who should be prepared would be you

Ah?

The next instant after I held doubt on her words, I suddenly lost strength in my whole body and went on my knee.

Dont tell me, already

Gradually my emotions are coming back inside my head.

I havent fought for three minutes yet and yet I used up my divine powers.

This is strange, Ive come to have plenty of it from the few days of training here and yet

From your calculations, you should have a little more time to move isnt it? But, you are yet unfamiliar with the way to use divine power. If you use it that violently, then I would expect you to reach the bottom soon. In truth I have hardly gotten any damage in the latter half, you see

Damn it

My body is heavy.

But I have to stand up somehow.

Even she should be bearing quite the damage.

If its now, then Gluttony will work.

Come! !

I grab and pull out the sword handle that appeared from the empty sky in response to my call.

Its ominous blade manifested and drool dribbled from its mouth.

So you still carry some hidden power

Haah!

Hmph

I swung Gluttony, but it didnt hit.

Not good, Im too slow.

Mirages movements were awkward, but much better than someone like me.

Im returning the favor

Gah

Mirages foot sunk into my stomach.

By the time I noticed, I was sent flying, back to the road where I kicked her flying.

My body finally touched the ground and rolled about several meters.

Then I noticed that I returned to all the way near the inn.

How far have I been sent flying, me

Mr Setsu!

Gh Mi- Mira?

Mira, who was hidden under cover, rushed over to me who had fallen senselessly.

I see, so she woke up.

Then I have to get her to escape quickly

Mira, there should be a black haired kid inside the inn. Shes a companion of mine, so go and hide at her place for now

No I cant! You should go too Mr Setsu!

Mira pulled my arm after I managed to stand up.

But, I shook her off and readied Gluttony.

Because Mirage is already closing in on us from the front.

Hmph, you are also the tenacious one I see

Screw you

This bitch her wounds are already gone.

Do swords these days have regenerative abilities?

Not to mention her garments huh?

Something feels out of place here doesnt it?

Unlike you Mankind, sacred swords possess neither recovery spells nor self repairing features. They are originally at most objects after all. There are no other methods to repair them beside restriking them again

Thats why its over once you give them a mortal wound

If I recall, thats what Stroh said.

Thats why her wounds are impossible to heal.

No, well, its her, so she may have said something careless, but

Just for a while, the worst assumption came to mind.

I hang my head and lowered my arms.

What, are you giving up? That is not even unreasonable. I was surprised that you used divine power, but your body is that of mankind. You cannot win against us

Mr Setsu

Mira was shivering in fear behind me.

I grit my teeth and thrust Gluttony

into Mira.

H huh?

So I was right

Mira held a knife in her hand with a blade beautiful enough to reflect our faces.

That knife stopped just before it was stuck on my back.

I pulled out gluttony with my back turned to her and confirm Mirage in front of me.

To think that that body was a clone

Cracks entered Mirages body and it then crumbled together with the sound of a breaking mirror.

After it went that far, I properly look over my shoulder and once again overlook Mira, who was the mirror magic sword Mirage.

She, who had fallen down face up and was grasping her wound, was unquestionably the inns daughter Mira.

How did you know?

Ive heard sacred swords cant fix wounds that are put on them. First it felt out of place when she appeared unhurt. And I thought that it was strange that both parents were a sham and yet only the daughter is genuine

If both parents were those two swords, then of course they should come out as a random attacker at night.

And if they come out every day like that, then even the daughter should notice it.

Then the two swords would consider such daughter a hindrance.

No, they should consider her a hindrance even if she didnt notice.

Itll be an emergency even if theyre suspected by one person.

Thats why they would first kill, since itll be a problem if theyre suspected.

Thats all they have to do if they do the job of a random attacker.

But, Mira is alive.

If thats the case, then theres only two possibilities I can think of.

The possibility that she can suspect them and so they left her be.

Or the possibility that someone changed places with her.

Your ability is handy you know. If you feel like doing it, you can copy appearances, personalities, everything. The disguise of the two were your work too right?

Thats right

If they have her ability, then its possible to copy personality and appearance to them and sound like the spitting image of them.

In that case, whats most likely would be that they were replaced.

It was my intuition that put on the possibility that you were the main body. I think Im really glad I was right

What if I had been the genuine one?

At that time I can just bring you back to life. Gluttony has that kind of power too

If I kept fighting the clone like that, then I would have lost.

Thats why the cause of her defeat was merely the fact she let Mira approach me.

So unlucky, arent you

Right, she was unlucky.
