Note: Sorry that this is up a little late, but here it is. Also wanted to tell you guys that since chapter 27 is less than 200 words, there will be a double upload next weekend.

Without further aideu, enjoy~

If one were to describe it, the way she moved was like a spider.

She was running with her pet.i.te body and took a very low stance, almost like she was crawling on all fours.

Then she kicked off the wall and proceeded to leap forwards from the ceiling. Her third dimensional movement made it hard to grasp the distance and timing.

Also, since when did she know about the knife?

Again, when did she take it?

The knife in the girl's hand was s.h.i.+zuru's.

One shouldn't have noticed it at first glance, but the girl noticed it whether it was by coincidence or not.

She noticed it, and took it from s.h.i.+zuru without him noticing.

”Wha…… !”

The girl that was approaching before Casca's eyes, jumped backwards at that moment and reached the ceiling after kicking the wall.

The height of the ceiling was about 2 and a half meters. Her jumping power didn't match her appearance.

The girl landed behind Casca after bouncing from the wall and ceiling several times.

The knife was already positioned to attack Casca's unprotected back just after she landed.

s.h.i.+zuru could see her chain movement since his position was a bit farther.

If he were any closer while she was bouncing around, he could have lost her in under  2 seconds.

In short, the opponent wouldn't have been able to realize that they were being attacked.

They could receive a scar from the sharp blade just by touching it, without putting up a defense nor a response, even if she slashed it without technique.

If ―― the opponent had been an ordinary person.

”Ah?”

”Whoa now”

Casca smoothly avoided the knife slash diagonally, even though she was also letting out such a sound effect.

After moving behind the girl, the tall woman looked down towards the little girl.

”What, do ya wanna play? I'm busy so get lost.”

”Wha…… !?”

Her eyes opened wide, not expecting that her attack would be dodged without looking.

But she was unfazed by that. She quickly changed to a backhanded grip, and slashed the knife towards Casca's legs through her inseam.(ED: I.e. her crotch region)

”Hup…”

Casca avoided the slash by raising her leg.

Not grazing anything, the knife just cut into empty air with a swish.

However, there was agility due to being light.

The boot's sole made a kyuut noise while sc.r.a.ping the floor.

She took a back step without changing her stance.

She bounced from the wall like a ball without looking, and leapt towards Casca attempting to press on her from her back.

There was a knife protruding from under her arm.

She planned to stab with the knife while she hit Casca's body with a shoulder tackle.

Or she just moved mechanically yet instinctively without having to think about it..

If it was the latter, then that was a fearsome talent.

”Like I said…… What the h.e.l.l do 'ya want?!”

However, Casca still didn't understand what was happening.

She easily caught the girl's neck and stopped her momentum completely.

Then she slammed the girl to the floor.
