Chapter 2: Slave Girl Melissa

「Wa, was it you!? Are you the one who killed my partner!?」

Having seen my appearance, the fellow thief cried out in a shrill voice His gaze shi+fted towards my shoulder

Ahh, I was still carrying the crossbow onit so I’ll leave it on the ground

Yokkoi-shotto[1]

「Haa, haa haa[2]! Why you gotta scare me like that! Whe-well then you’re the bastard that shoot that arrow before, right?」

Even though thebefore, when he saw ht it rin stuck to his face

Well he probably couldn’t tell that the bolt was already set in position

That’s quite convenient for me Should I just let him think that?

「This is a special weapon, after all There isn’t enough ammo」

「Keke! I sure bet for that sort of weapon! Seriously, if you carry around such a weapon that doesn’t match your size then that’s bound to happen!」

He raised his voice while twisting his disgusting lips

Seriously, just by seeing uy is way too happy

「Kuku ku, that’s fine You’re probably just so sense of justice I’ll sho much of a fool you really are!」

He said soant lines and, from behind his back, pulled out an exotic weapon

It was an unrefined weapon with a blade that ide and curved towards the end

Oh yea, there eapon like that in the ganed to cleave rather than to slice Supposedly, you should be able to co heavy armor[3]

He had a s at me Probably because he saw that the arht armor

Did he not know a lot about equipear

That being said, back in the game you would still need perh proficiency in the appraisal skill you couldn’t just look whenever you wanted to either

Maybe that is why he couldn’t tell

Well, even so he was underesti me too much

Either way, since he looks eager to fight, I also pull out the tords on my waist

The sword hly 120 cm, eh? On the other hand, both of

In tere but I’her

The twin blades I was holding were named “Seikou Kiten[4]”

Wide blades with the hilt shaped like wings With signature bluish blades and light as a feather

Back in the ga velocity and attack speed of these swift blades was extreht

Incidentally, there were certain abilities in the game that allowed you to increase the velocity of your attacks in small bursts in order to raise your attack power The weapons I’ are rare yet they were still not very popular

The reason was because in the ga recoil No matter how fast your initial speed was there would still be a delay because of that

Also, weapons with high attack power generated less knock-back fros, this situation led to weapons with high attack power being easier to use

But, the way I look at it the initial speed and velocity were more important

If my attacks don’t hit then the Cancel Skill is basically useless

Well, is rin, he was licking his lips in front of me

And taking a great leap forward, with his Falchion raised overhead with both hands, the battle began

Did he plan to split ?

How naive I could easily dodge such a large swing but, well, since I went through so s

「Cancel」

I le word I didn’t really need to say it out loud, but so out

Then, in an instant the raised Falchion returned to where it was before― essentially, it returned to being held in front instead

The thief’s face was clearly showing signs of confusion

Of course it would There’s no way this skill can cancel your opponent’s thought process

For that piece of trash, who thought for sure he would have sliced his opponent in two by now, to suddenly having his stance reset back to where it was before, surely he would be confused

「Wha, What!? That hurts, Gue!」

However, I’m not such a softhearted person to just stare at him in his confusion

I immediately closed the distance between us in a flash and cut through the thief’s side with ht-hand blade

His face was distorted in pain My blade was carved into his flesh

Nor to pull the blade away from his flesh but for me that didn’t matter

I iht blade returned to it’s original position I aimed for his collar with my left blade

「Gihiii! It huuuuurts!」

The sword sank two-thirds into his shoulder’s flesh Then I used Cancel again and next, with a thrust of ht blade, I pierced his abdomen

Because of the h, but still thein my skull

There’sso shut up already

Still this is going quite ss and I could set up one-sided attacks

This was the number one reason why I wanted speed over power

After all, as long as the skill was used after a hit lands then it was possible to continue attacking in rapid succession

Of course that was only because this was still a game before, how this would work in the real world made me a little nervous but―

A horizontal slash to the right 【Cancel】, a vertical cut with the left 【Cancel】, a diagonal forht 【Cancel】, “Double Slicer” 【Cancel】, beloith the right 【Cancel】, Double-Backspin Slicer[5]…… hmm?

Fuo, huh

I so Cancel

In the game enemies would disappear to souess it doesn’t work like that in the real world

But still, this is pretty grotesque Because of his worthless h in just one slice was ith

That’s why there was a stop in the middle of each strike Well, I used cancel because of this reason, but because of the excessive amount of attacks this turned into quite the mess

Well, whatever I’ dead bodies anyways

Still, Double Slicer and Head Crusher were actually weapon skills yet I was able to use them normally

My status display showed I could activate skills so I thought that h

By the way, Helle slice aimed at the head while Double Slicer used both swords to slice consecutively

They’re both just like their names so it’s easy to understand

Well, it doesn’t matter For noith this robber-like bunch were killed, and I got to confirh battle as well

Everything was running smoothly―

「Sa, save, Pleas, Overlook……」[6]

Huy with the hole in his butt was still alive

Yea he’s annoying, scum

「Gyaaaa!」

I cut down the savage man with my blade but he just won’t shut up, huh Well, with that he definitely should be dead

His name was Anaru but he died by a cut in his throat Well it was a fitting end or these filthy thieves

「Tha-Thank you veryme」

This girl was crying and sniffling before but, it seems she has caler

However― I unconsciously looked away

Yup, as I thought, unlike in the ga Aside from her reactions, the texture and sensation of her flesh also couldn’t be coame

……Well, is that so? It’s just that she is not based on a japanese person so her hair is somewhat different

The girl I saved was, she was a lovely young woman with blond hair that stretched down to her shoulders She also had blue eyes that snapped back into double-folded eyelids[7] Her height was lower than e? Either way she would definitely be classified as a bishoujo[8]

And―The reason why my eyes didn’t anywhere safe to look at was, because of those self-indulgent coupledthem, my eyes were drawn into the emphasized deep valley
