The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 115: The Brother of the Past
POV: The Victoria Blade
_____________________________________
While running in the dark forest, tears came down her cheeks. Victoria continued running towards the spirit forest without her noticing it.
(Ka-Kaizo saw my chest.)
Victoria reddened. It was embarrassing to the point that his face felt like it was going to burn.
(Gosh, what is this, what is this, stupid!)
He had seen her naked in their first meeting. But then and now it's completely different. He did not know why his face was flushed.
(Why is my heart beating so fast, I wonder about that.) Victoria stopped running and pressed her heartbeat.
That's right, he didn't hate that he had seen her naked. Having him look at his underdeveloped chest had been shocking.
(This little chest is weird, isn't it?) While feeling her soft chest, she bit her lips.
Victoria had read it in a book, that boys love girls with big chests. That definitely doesn't exclude Kaizo. After all, Kaizo was very happy to be near that big-breasted Aura.
(A-what is this secret lesson about things that cannot be said, da-basic fools!)
Recalling it again, he felt his anger reappear. What the two of them were doing under the shadow of the stone had been twisted back in his head.
"I-I don't really care who he hangs out with," Just like he said that with a frown. He felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck.
"Who is that!?" Turning around, he asked in a sharp voice. And someone appeared from behind the trees like a shadow.
"Hmm, you're suddenly sharp, princess. But separating from the group is not good."
A single hooded girl came out and from the slightly conical groin was visible ash hair. The transparent blue pupil. A young girl who was even smaller than Victoria was short.
(A child in this place?)
Victoria was suspicious. She did not seem like the daughter of the Divine Ritual Obsession. The only possibility was that he was a member of another team.
"Do you have any business with me?" Victoria asked while keeping her guard up.
What he felt earlier was approaching killing intent. Even if his opponent was a little girl, he couldn't be rash.
The girl laughed lightly and said, "I will make you disappear, princess. For my brother."
Instantly, Victoria reacted. Water came from the ground as many tentacles formed and attacked it.
(A water spirit user!?)
The wriggling water tentacles split the branches of the surrounding trees. Victoria landed on the ground and did her summoning.
*ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ *
"Red fire guard, immortal fireplace keeper!"
*ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛈᛖᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ*
"Now it's time to obey the blood contract, come forward and do my bidding!"
*ᛉ ᛈᛞ ᛟᛖ*
"Flame!"
A hell salamander bathed in red flames emerged from thin air. The hell salamander immediately turned into a fire whip in his hand.
"You, do you understand who you're fighting with?"
"of course. Victoria Blade, sister of the Queen of Disasters."
"It looks like you're actually doing some reconnaissance!"
Victoria swung the fire whip. Drawing a pure red line in the air, easily cutting down the forest trees. But the water tentacles were coming from the ground and easily stopped the fire whip.
"What?!"
"There's no way this naughty princess Tian's spirit can defeat Sycte."
"Sycte?"
Victoria had read the name in the academy. It was the name of a special use military spirit that could be used by anyone. The flexibility to replace the contractor was deemed too dangerous and should have been sealed after the Vinral War.
And then Victoria realized. If he was an assassin using a sealed military spirit. That meant he was the same person who had attacked the ship.
"Don't tell me you attacked the plane, kyaa!"
At that moment, a tentacle coming from the ground grasped Victoria's feet. The tentacle wrapped itself and lifted it into the air.
"This damn thing, let me go!"
He swung his Fire Whip with all his might, but nothing happened to the water spirit. His opponent spirit was the worst match for his fire spirit.
In addition, this area weakens fire spirits due to its proximity to water. Even if it was a high-class spirit like Salamander, overcoming elemental weaknesses was difficult.
The tentacles slowly entered the slit of his swimsuit. Wrapping her thighs, it was a terrible feeling that she did not want to feel.
"Ah, hn, w-what are you doing, no!"
"Fufuu, embarrassing appearance, princess. But I'll let you enjoy it soon." The girl approached Victoria who could not move.
"Why are you targeting me?"
"Because you've ruined my brother."
"Your brother?"
Victoria realized it. What came to his mind was that person. As if confirming, Victoria asked the girl, "Could it be, this is about Kaizo?"
"Don't mention my brother's name lightly."
The tentacle slapped Victoria's cheek.
"Kuh!"
"W-what do you mean get up! Kaizo is Kaizo!"
"Don't talk as if you know what you're talking about." A bone-chilling tone, shivering and flowing down Victoria's back.
"You, what do you know about my brother?"
At her words, Victoria widened her eyes, "Eh?"
(True, I don't know anything about Kaizo.)
For example, the girl who called Kaizo's sister. This girl probably knows, Kaizo's past is unknown to Victoria. He felt pain in his heart, he did not know why.
"Goodbye, princess Salamander." The girl gave the order to kill what she caught.
Then a line of swords flashed and followed the sound of shouting, "Victoria!"

POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
The short sword pierced the ground. The girl jumped up and landed after spinning in the air. As the power of Sycte weakened, the Flame Whip returned to the form of the hell salamander and destroyed the water tentacles.
"Ka-Kaizo?!"
Kaizo caught Victoria being released with both hands and said, "Victoria, back off," by placing Victoria on the ground and turning to face the girl.
(I don't think an elementalist would be here.)
He regretted not bringing Nyx. With the last exchange, he finally understood. His opponent was a highly skilled assassin in his field.
The short sword disappeared. It was the product of the only spirit magic that Kaizo could use as an elementalist of the sword spirit, the production of weapons with the Weapon Store.
(So the presence I felt in the lake was this man.) Kaizo looked at the girl. He couldn't see his face because of the hood.
The girl's lips twitched lightly and openly called out, "Sister..."
At the same time, the water spirit reshaped its tentacles and attacked again.
"Well!" He took a blow to the stomach. Kaizo flew up and hit the muddy ground.
"Ouch!"
"Kaizo!" Victoria ran to the side of the collapsed Kaizo.
"Why don't you dodge! You should have..." Victoria shut her mouth tight. That's right, he can't dodge.
"You're protecting me?"
"I can't let a wound touch a young woman's face." Kaizo wiped the blood from his mouth and trembled to his feet.
Once again, the tentacles swung down like whips. Kaizo raised both hands and held him. But no matter how strong he was, humans could not match spirits.
A blunt attack. The sound of crushed bones sounded. Kaizo spontaneously groaned, "Aguu!"
"Sister, why are you bothering me?!" The girl muttered this to Kaizo who fell down in a sad tone.
"Sister?"
He was sure he called her that way at the beginning as well. The girl who said she was disturbing. From under the hood, he saw gray hair gently blowing and his eyes looked like someone.
"You, don't tell me you..." Kaizo eyes widen.
At such a moment, Aura came and waved her hand, giving the order to attack.
*ᚠ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ*
"Frozen net, puncture, Freezing Arrow!"
In an instant, many ice arrows pierced the water spirit. The water spirit instantly froze. Then, Aura shouted, "Now!"
* ᚨ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ*
"Take this, Fireballs Flare!"
The Victorian fireball scored a direct hit. A fierce flame was formed. The spirit of the frozen water shattered into pieces.
"Hmph, that's easy," holding a magic bow, Aura swept her hair to the side. Even though he was performing such a carefree action, his breathing was gasping for breath as it chased after Kaizo.
"Aura, you're my life's savior." Kaizo stood up while groaning in pain.
Aura and Victoria complete their respective elemental aero and confront the murderous girl.
"Aww, he was killed. It turns out like this if I don't use Trick's Murder." Poking out her tongue in a childish manner, she opened her hood. Twintail ash with a beautiful and youthful face.
Kaizo stood up startled to see a face that had barely changed from four years ago. He muttered, "Mia..."
"Mia?" Victoria knit her eyebrows.
"Mia, why?"
"Sister, you've become very weak," the girl sighed sadly and turned around, "but don't worry, Mia will definitely wake you up," saying that, she disappeared into the forest.
"Stop right there!"
"Wait!" Kaizo stopped Aura and Victoria from pursuing him.
"Hey, why did you stop us!"
"You can't beat him."
The two gulped at Kaizo's serious expression. So, the murderous girl completely disappeared from before them leaving an impression of intimidation.
