Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master-Chapter 273: Legend Encounter Rate
Chapter 273 – Legend Encounter Rate
One of the Seven Heroes blew a person away in the city.
The other party might not be an ordinary person, but I have to do something about Espie’s reckless use of power in the future.
“Big brother, over here!”
“Oh, oh…”
『Another complication…』
Espie seemed to want to escape as soon as possible, but Tre’ainar was by the side, holding his head in astonishment.
“Hey, Espie… who was he?”
“I don’t know!”
“No, that can’t be true!”
“Big brother, don’t worry about that! Big brother will travel everywhere with me, so it’s okay!”
Apparently, she didn’t like the idea of being taken back, or rather, she had a sense of rejection towards the Union and her former comrades.
『Then again, child… what is with you? Have you some aspect that attracts legends to you?』
「?」
『I never, tis beyond expectations. Even if by mere coincidence, for that man to be here…』
Come to think of it, Tre’ainar seemed to have noticed who the man was, even though Espie’s blow had thrown things off track.
What the heck……
“Seriously, this is really troublesome!”
“”Huh!!??””
“You don’t just run away when people are trying to decide whether or not to overlook you, their bodies will spontaneously chase after you, so please excuse me!”
At that moment, the wind blew right past us, and in the middle of the city, that man turned around to block our path.
“Uh… Ugh~”
“This guy…”
So fast. He’s no ordinary person after all.
I was running in a fairly large city with a lot of people, but I didn’t think he would find me already.
And…..
“I didn’t expect you to catch up, but… are you okay?”
“Hmm? Never mind. it’s just a sweet young lady throwing a tantrum. As adults, it’s our duty to just laugh and accept it.”
The headpiece and the clothes he was wearing were slightly torn, but it didn’t look like there was much damage from being hit so hard.
“But, I’m a little surprised that you could catch up so easily.”
“Much thanks. I remembered not only Espie-jou’s footsteps, but also Onii-san’s footsteps and muscle flow. So, if it’s a city of about this size… no matter where you run away, I’ll find you, right?”
“…… What?”
“This one, is sensitive to such things.”
Footsteps? Flow? Remember? I wonder what that meant, but how did he know where to run?
“Keh, I don’t get it. But can he grasp where to catch me? Hang on, Espie!”
“Big brothe… waah!”
Even if he knows where we are, he still has to catch us.
I was a little annoyed that he could talk so freely…
“Let’s go!”
“Oro?”
I ran with Espie in my arms, just like when I broke through the Demon King Army the other day.
“…… Oh, don’t you say stylish things~”
I’ll get past him. With my feint.
“【Great Demon Killer Crossover】!”
A step work to overtake him after making him react the opposite way by using a feint to cut back, whether to go right or left based on the opponent’s reaction or slight movement.
“………………”
“?”
Huh? What’s this? Can’t draw him in with my step?
He was still standing blankly in front of me.
『Head, eyes, arms, elbows, legs, knees… predict the next move from the opponent’s entire body. However, the more high-level the opponent to whom you feint, the more likely they are to get caught in it. However, this one did not see it in the first place… he cannot see it, so he is not deceived.』
At that moment, I heard Tre’ainar’s muttering…
“Wha~, are you doing all kinds of… feints? The sound of muscles with no intention to pull out from the beginning… all fake… just pretending to break through, waiting for this one to move first… aren’t the signs obvious~?”
“Huh!?”
And I felt it with my whole body at that moment.
――I can’t draw him out
And.
“…… tch…”
“Oh… Big brother…”
Even though my father and mother fell for it, I couldn’t catch this guy.
I gave up and stepped back to distance myself from the man.
“Oh… you sensed it in advance and kept your distance without rushing in… isn’t that a good decision.”
“…… You…”
“I see. Not just a kind Onii-san, are you?”
The man smiles happily under his face.
Not doing anything.
He just stood there.
And yet, I sensed something that made me feel like I was stuck.
And after coming this far, I somehow knew the identity of this man…
“Oh, Onii-san, Espie-jou…… just for now…”
“Huh!?”
“A conversation——”
The next moment, the man in front of me suddenly disappeared… no, he tried to go around behind――――
“【Great Demon Jab】!”
“Oro!?”
“Ah…………”
I reflexively threw out my left.
It seemed that the man went around behind me and Espie at high speed and tried to reach for Espie and pull her away, but I flicked his hand away and stepped back again to distance myself from the man while holding Espie in my arms.
“…… hoh… you saw that coming?”
It was only a brief exchange.
But that alone made me realize that he had changed his attitude towards me.
“Oh~ my goodness… this is a problem, isn’t it? I just came across something ridiculous by skipping work… Onii-san…… don’t do that!”
The air changed.
The pressure was clearly palpable.
『Good gracious… however…… this might be a little bit interesting.』
Ah? Somehow Tre’ainar grinned a little amused.
“I’m rather interested in you, Onii-san…”
Saying this, the man untied the cloth around his waist while he leaned forward. Revealing a sword inside.
But, he did not pull out the sword, he just held it calmly with his hand on the hilt.
“Then, why don’t we have a conversation at this distance? But, the next time you come to draw this one out, Onii-san… I might draw this out as well. And you wouldn’t like it, would you Onii-san?”
“Hahaha, what are you saying? You look like you’re trying to provoke me, right? Encouraging me to come back for more.”
“Oyaoya, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The man was clearly inviting me to “come over”.
“Big brother, you can’t fight him! Big brother――――”
『Play a little, child. But, do not lose focus.』
Then, as if to interrupt Espie’s words, Tre’ainar whispered to me.
「Tre’ainar…」
『Although tis a coincidence… tis the furthest realm… of the theme of your current training.』
「Eh!?」
『Although tis different from Magical Radar… the sense of perceiving the unseen and grasping the world around you… this man has it.』
There, something unexpected was uttered.
I understand that the man is not an ordinary person, but he’s enough to make Tre’ainar say that.
There are not many at that level.
Of the Six Supremacy on the Demon side.
If he’s human, he would be that… furthermore…… a Samurai of Japone…
“I see… I certainly have a ridiculous encounter rate with legends… but…… okay, I’m willing to give it a try.”
“Hou~.”
“While I’m at it, I’ll knock your guts out.”
“Oh hou~, aren’t you stylish!”
If that’s the case, my luck is really terrible.
I wonder why I keep running into legends like this.
But on the other hand, if Tre’ainar said that, I also want to give it a try.
