Chapter 83 – The Sight of Suzuha, Who Was Not Afraid to Die For Her Older Brother, Was Dazzling (Yuzuriha’s POV)
Hell is right in front of us, so Yuzuriha thought.
The interior of the cave was bumpy and wet all over.
And the whole surface was covered with countless chunks of what used to be human flesh.
On top of that, the opponent was the wandering white-haired vampire.
If you show even a momentary chance, you are guaranteed a certain death.
Yuzuriha’s throat was parched.
If she were fighting the wandering white-haired vampire instead of Suzuha’s older brother…
Just the thought of that made her despair.
“…But didn’t that demon lose its arm…?”
Yuzuriha certainly saw the demon’s right arm that Suzuha’s older brother ripped off, as it pierced through her own chest.
But despite the dim light, that demon clearly had a right arm.
“…Yuzuriha-san, take a good look at that arm. It’s very—silver.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is a guess, but I think she ate the mithril from this mine and made it into her right arm…”
“H-How is that possible!?”
Her attempts to deny faded away
The higher the quality of magic silver mithril, and the stronger the magical creature, the greater the affinity between the two.
Yuzuriha knew this to her knowledge.
And the opponent was a substandard demon. The mithril produced was also of extremely high quality, as far as they could tell.
Then, if a wandering white-haired vampire grows a mithril right arm—There’s no denying it.
“That’s why that demon’s so strong…!”
“Probably.”
Compared to when she first met Suzuha’s older brother, she has become many times, or even dozens of times stronger.
She even briefly thought that maybe she could defeat the wandering white-haired vampire.
And Suzuha’s older brother also trained with them and steadily became stronger than ever before.
He said it himself, so there was no doubt about it.
That’s why Yuzuriha thought that if the wandering white-haired vampire appeared once again, Suzuha’s older brother would be able to defeat her with a single punch. However…
“…Stand down. We are no match for her…!”
Suzuha bit her lip in frustration.
Suzuha was right. Yuzuriha’s legs were shaking, she couldn’t take a step.
She couldn’t believe that she had stood in the way of that demon the last time.
If she tried to do that now—her instincts as a living creature would reject her.
If either Suzuha’s older brother or the demon were to lose their footing, the battle would reach its conclusion in that instant.
The exchange of attacks was that intense.
Suzuha’s older brother and the wandering white-haired vampire unleashed a storm of deathly strikes resembling the pinnacle of sword dancing.
It seemed like an eternity, but slowly, the scales tipped.
Suzuha’s older brother’s breathing was becoming slightly erratic.
..Not good. At this rate…!
As Yuzuriha saw it, there was only one cause for Suzuha’s brother to be disadvantaged.
Suzuha and herself.
The wandering white-haired vampire is looking only at Suzuha’s older brother, as if she were looking at her long-lost nemesis in front of her. It was obvious that she was not even aware of Suzuha and Yuzuriha.
Of course, Suzuha’s older brother should have known this by now.
But Suzuha’s older brother was taking the bare minimum of defensive measures just in case they were targeted.
If the demon suddenly changed direction and Suzuha and Yuzuriha were attacked, he would manage to save them in time.
Even though Suzuha’s older brother knows this in his head, his unconscious kindness is forcing him into a defensive stance that should be unnecessary.
The slightest unnecessary movement accumulated and exhausted Suzuha’s older brother.
Yuzuriha observed that Suzuha’s older brother was probably just a little stronger than the demon.
But as it stands, Suzuha-kun’s older brother will lose because of me..!
“Listen to me, Nii-san—The next time you protect me, I will kill myself right here and now.”
Yuzuriha turned around at the voice and her eyes widened.
Suzuha had pressed the tip of her sword against her own chest.
The tip of the sword, which pushed into the cleavage of her overly ample breasts, was angled optimally so that it could pierce her heart at any time.
There was no need to confirm whether or not she was serious.
“Nii-san, I’ve been trained by you—Since we encountered the wandering white-haired vampire that day, I’ve become dozens, even hundreds of times stronger. Of course, Yuzuriha-san too. So right now, even if that demon attacks us—we’ll manage to survive with only mortal wounds.”
Suzuha’s older brother didn’t look back at Suzuha. There was no time for him to. Even so…
“At this rate, Nii-san will die. If that happens, everyone will die. I would much rather die and have Nii-san win. I hope that Nii-san and his wife—whoever she is—will live happily. That’s why…”
Suzuha’s screams echoed throughout the cave,
“Please believe in us! Trust me and Yuzuriha-san, whom Nii-san has trained! Just forget about us and defeat that demon without worrying about anything else!”
“——!!!”
Suzuha’s older brother mumbled something, but what he said couldn’t be heard.
Still, Yuzuriha saw Suzuha’s older brother nod his head slightly.
Yuzuriha, in a state of complete absorption,
“My partner! Mithril arm is indeed powerful, but if you keep flowing huge amounts of magic power, it will reach its limit! That’s why—!”
“—Thank you, Yuzuriha-san.”
Saying that, Suzuha’s older brother then started to run, his movements were much different than before.
Yuzuriha couldn’t take her eyes off her back, and Suzuha let out a small sigh,
“…As expected of Yuzuriha-san. I was only thinking about staying out of Nii-san’s way, but Yuzuriha-san was trying to lead him to victory.”
“It’s not like that. I just—”
The sight of Suzuha, who was not afraid to die for her older brother, was dazzling.
Yuzuriha was frustrated, wondering why it wasn’t her instead.
She felt like going crazy from jealousy even now, that’s why—
Yuzuriha felt too pathetic to face Suzuha’s respectful gaze.
****
How much time has passed since then?
As Suzuha’s older brother was no longer wasting his movement, the wandering white-haired vampire also stepped up a gear.
But it was like forcing the tension that was already at its highest to be raised even higher.
It was obvious that eventually there would be a limit.
Finally, the moment came.
There was a sharp, shattering sound, as if something had broken.
The wandering white-haired vampire’s right arm glowed with a dazzling light, then—
A huge explosion occurred.
From outside the mine, it looked like a stream of rays of light erupted in a straight line towards the sky—
