Chapter 43: Samurai girl

My heart won’t hurt even if these guys die.

Rather, I thought it would be fine even if they got caught and beheaded.

However, I had perceived “death” and “life” too simply.

Because of the experience from when I was young, I thought I was already a “human that understood,” to a certain extent.

However, now that I see this scenery, my heart feels overwhelmed; the scenery of the Sea Thieves hoodlums rolling on the deck of the ship, bloody and bisected.

“You, you, you guyyyyys! You guys are the brats that ran away the other day!” (Jeed)

Regardless of personality or the sequence of events, it’s understandable for Jeed to raise his voice from seeing the tragic figures of his comrades, who he probably lived with, through joy and sorrow.

However, at a time like that, my eyes were snatched away by the three women standing on top of human blood.

“Musashi-sama! It’s this guy, this guy is the head!”

“I don’t know the three at the back! But everything will end once we behead this guy!”

Two of them are young children. They look to be around the same age as the captured tiger brat girl.

However, the katana gripped with blood stained hands made my heart excessively discomposed.

Not because brats like these are holding Japanese swords, but because they find killing people extremely normal.

This really is a messed up world that I can’t get used to, no matter how many years I stay in it.

“Prepare yourself, you slave trader!”

“Since oneesama has come, we won’t lose to you guys anymore!”

There’s one woman standing still behind the two brat swordswomen.

With tiger ears and tail, her appearance resembles the tiger brat girl.

However, although she called her her onee, she’s still quite young.

She’s in the later half of the teens, but she might even be the same age as me.

And those clothes are impressive. A shape that I’ve never seen before in this world.

However, it feels somewhat nostalgic from my past life’s memories, as it seems like “Japanese style” attire.

A black hakama, and a pink haori.

She isn’t holding a Japanese sword in her hands, but for some reason, she has two wooden swords.

“Are you the head of the villains who kidnapped us demi-humans’ brethren?” (Musashi)

And she’s even using “gozaru”!

“Who the hell are you!” (Jeed)

Ahh, I’m super curious too.

Who is this woman that suddenly appeared like the wind? Then, the woman glared at him with a crisp look.

“I am Musashi Gabbana! From the Demi-human Continent, in the Yamato village of the Furyuure country, of the proud tiger race, and a user of the strongest demi-human kenjutsu,『Miyamoto Kendo』, that my grandfather founded! Also known as Souken Juuko (Dual Sword Beast Tiger) Musashi! I do not have a name for naming myself to villains!” (Musashi) (TL Note: Uses ‘sessha’ for ‘I’)

She gave a completely self introduction. That’s information I haven’t heard of.

“I have come to save my sister, Jubei, and my other demi-human brethren!” (Musashi)

Furthermore, she introduced herself with hot eyes that look like lumps of quite a straightforward sense of justice.

Rather, that brat who was captured was called Jubei, huh.

“This damn demi-human is an idiot.” (Farga)

“An idiot indeed.” (Ura)

Farga and Ura, it’s understandable for you guys to think like that, but just tolerate it.

She probably is one though.

“How dare you, how dare you do that to my henchmen! I’ll kill you!” (Jeed)

Jeed started running.

To be honest, I had my attention caught by the woman called Musashi, and had a late reaction.

However, I immediately knew at least what would happen in the next moment.

“Stop it, Jeed!” (Velt)

To be frank, he isn’t my friend or anything.

No, let alone that, he’s such a sheethead that makes me feel nauseous, and in the corner of my heart, I might have even thought that it would be fine even if he dies.

So, I don’t know why I tried to stop Jeed.

Was I not able to control myself because someone was about to be killed right in front of me? Either way, my response was already too late.

“How foolish. Know that your angry roar of reaping what you sow cannot reach my great cause!” (Musashi)

The two wooden swords relaxedly swayed like a heat haze.

“Miyamoto Kendo, Guren Kaihamen!” (Musashi)

Rather than cutting, that would be called drubbing.

The blow on the top of Jeed’s head even pulverized his trunk, and the pulverized meat was engulfed in flames, disappearing into ashes.

It truly was an instantaneous event.

“This woman!” (Velt)

“……… can do.” (Ura)

“Fuun, she’s good.” (Farga)

As expected of Farga and Ura, who have experience of actual fighting on the battlefield, they’re quick to switch their minds.

Even though Jeed was killed like garbage waste, they had already pointed their caution to Musashi.

On the other hand, I wasn’t that calm yet.

“Now, you can leave, you damn slave traders. If you obediently release our brethren, your lives will be saved.” (Musashi)

She’s underestimating us.

“You damn brat!” (Velt)

By the time I realized it, I had started running towards Musashi.

“S, stupid younger brother!” (Farga)

“You moron! Let’s stop him, Farga!” (Ura)

Don’t misunderstand. I won’t do something worthless like revenge.

Just, this woman looked at me with underestimating eyes.

Eyes that looked like they were looking at garbage waste, like she was at Jeed.

Don’t foock with me.

“Musashi-sama doesn’t even need to go against an underling like you!”

“We are your opponents!”

Shut up, you damn brats.

Don’t just stand there shining that shiny thing in front of me!

“Out of the way, you damn brats! Fuwa fuwa Moses!” (Velt)

Fuwa fuwa Moses.

A technique that can be used when there’s a crowd of people in front of me, as it lifts everyone, and makes a path by blowing away everyone to the sides.

“Eh, wha, what is this?”

“My body just lifted and, kyaa!”

The two noisy brats got blown away very easily, and they both hit their backs on the wall.

“Wha! Ushiwaka! Benkei!” (Musashi)

Again, there are some quite incredible names.

I’m extremely interested in the person that named them, but before that, I can’t settle down before doing something about this idiot first.

“Tch, how dare you do that to those girls I treat like younger sisters! Smash slice!” (Musashi)

“Uooh!” (Velt)

Musashi, is fast! She came right up to me in an instant.

I tried to seal her movements with a fuwa fuwa technique, but my aim couldn’t settle as she was too fast.

This is bad!

“I will take your life!” (Musashi)

If I get touched, it’s over. I’ll become just like Jeed.

Fuwa fuwa escape? No good, I won’t make it! I would have been able to do it with another second……… damn……… it………

“Nu!” (Musashi)

At that moment, a scarlet flash of light that looks like the evening sun burst open from Musashi’s side.

“I won’t let you have my stupid younger brother’s life.” (Farga)

Uoooo, that was so dangerous, I’m saved!

Farga’s spear came in just before Musashi’s sword touched me.

“The, these movements, what a polished spear handler!” (Musashi)

“Hou, you evaded it, huh. How agile.” (Farga)

Immediately after just barely evading it and jumping to the back, she kicks off of the deck, jumping at Farga.

“You are fast. However, you are not my enemy!” (Musashi)

“Shut it, you damn stray cat. I’ll beat you down together with those two fangs of yours.” (Farga)

Musashi’s dual swords, and Farga’s spear cross.

However, the moment Musashi tried to slash at him with her wooden swords, Farga’s spear repelled the projecting part of her sword.

“Nu, oh, guh, ho!” (Musashi)

Farga’s speed of thrusting over ten times in one lunge, far surpassed a demi-human’s physical ability.

“No way! Mu, Musashi-sama can’t get close!” (Ushiwaka)

“Who, who is that, spear user! He’s making oneesama go on the defensive the whole fight!” (Benkei)

Musashi keeps trying to step in and attack, but she has her hands full with Farga’s storm-like spear thrusts.

“This man can do it! For me to not be able to not enter the distance, he must have a frightening amount of skill!” (Musashi)

“Stop crying out so loudly over every single thing.” (Farga)

“Guh, nu, oh, wha, you can still raise your speed!?” (Musashi)

“Elfarshia style spearmanship, evening shower.” (Farga)

Like the rain, there was no opening. Thrusts get let out in succession at a powerful speed, like a light ray.

Although she tries to just barely block them, Musashi’s clothes and body’s thin skin gradually gets cut up.

That was the same red blood as a human.

“Kuh, it has been quite a while since I had shed blood.” (Musashi)

“Hou. The last time evening shower was handled this well by someone was when I fought with that damn guy from the ten heroes of light.” (Farga)

“Although you hold this much strength, performing such inferior acts of slave trading is making your technique cry!” (Musashi)

“Don’t make a stupid misunderstanding. However, even if my technique cries or screams, I will conquer power with my own method.” (Farga)

The brat swordswomen are surprised by Farga’s power, that was far beyond their expectations, but I’m the one that’s surprised.

I didn’t think there would be someone who could go up against Farga this well.

But well,

“Sorry samurai-san. We aren’t knights or samurai, so don’t misunderstand this as a duel.” (Velt)

Aiming at Musashi, who is completely focused on Farga, I throw my prideful partner, my expanding and contracting baton.

Of course, she’s a master. She sensed the presence of it in an instant, and evaded.

“You, how shrewd!” (Musashi)

My partner gets evaded, and flies into the ocean.

But, her posture collapsed. That’s plenty.

“I will erase all enemies that threaten Velt’s life.” (Ura)

“Wha, when did you!” (Musashi)

You didn’t notice, did you? The princess that’s approaching from the skies.

“Makyokushin Karate, Mashinkuu (Devil Sky) Axe Kick!” (Ura)

“Guh, Miyamoto Kendo, Immobile Receive!” (Musashi)

She crosses her wooden swords above her head, and receives Ura’s axe kick.

However, she couldn’t receive it perfectly.

With the power of the kick filled with Ura’s destructive power, Musashi’s legs pierced the floorboards and went down.

“You’re good. Although it wasn’t perfectly, you defended against my kick.” (Ura)

“What power! Who are you people!” (Musashi)

“However, it’s already over.” (Velt)

“Wha, what are you……………… !” (Musashi)

It was praiseworthy of her to receive it in that posture, but she was completely full of weak spots.

Both her legs are sunk, and she probably can’t even move, so she’s already too late.

“Goboh!” (Musashi)

A dull sound resounded.

“Gah, ah, u, ah, ga.” (Musashu)

Musashi suddenly swayed unsteadily like a drunkard.

My baton had stuck against the back of her head.

“Why, is, thi, this?” (Musashi)

The baton that was thrown outside of the ship after her dodging it, came back like a boomerang with my ability and directly hit the back of Musashi’s head, as she completely had her guard down.

Five years ago, one baton was fifty kgs, but now, they each weigh a hundred kgs. Furthermore, if they hit the opponent with centrifugal force and speed, it produces more power than getting run over by a truck.

If that directly hits the back of her defenseless head, even Musashi wouldn’t still be fine.

“Wha, thi, what, I, I was, guh………” (Musashi)

“Sleep a bit and be quiet. I’ll have you answer a lot of things once you wake up after all.” (Velt)

“Guh, re, regret……… however, sp……… sp……… splen, did.” (Musashi)

Musashi finally collapsed, falling straight onto the ground.

To be honest, it was dangerous. If I made a single mistake, I would have definitely been killed.

“She was a damn noisy cat.” (Farga)

“Rather than that, Velt! Why did you try and get killed so easily! Without Farga, you would have been killed!” (Ura)

“Ye, yeah, I’m sorry. Well, she was quite a lot stronger than I thought she was.” (Velt)

However, a win is a win. It would have been quite severe if it was a one on one though.

“No, no way, no way, no wayyyyyyyy!” (Ushiwaka)

“Oneesamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” (Benkei)

Well, for now, I guess I’ll tie Musashi up so that she won’t suddenly try to kill me after waking up.

And well, for the time being, when we land somewhere, I’ll go find some land to make a grave for these guys that were killed………

By the time I realized it, the smell of blood on board once again got on my mind.
