Chapter 304: Carina’s Eyes
“Well then, I’m going back to my hometown.”
“Isn’t it too soon? Why don’t you take it a little slower?”
After putting on our gear, we made a little small talk with each other and so on, and then Emily said.
“No, that won’t work. As queen, I have a lot of work to do in the village.”
“Oh, I see.”
Having been told that, I couldn’t say anything more. And after I stopped her, I thought, there’s actually very little to do at such a temporary base.
“It would be a different story if someone would become the next king, though.”
“Ha-ha…”
“My queen, I’ll see you out.”
I could only laugh dryly at Emily’s words. She may be joking, but I have no intention of becoming king. While I was at a loss for a response, Sophie was about to escort the elf queen to the door.
“Elira, don’t drag your feet and do your best.”
“I understand.”
“Then I will see you another time.”
After saying that, Emily flew back home. It would have been so much easier if I could have moved fast in the sky like that….
“Haa… I can finally relax.”
As soon as Emily-san left, Elira sat down on a chair with a slumped posture.
“I’m going to go on a rampage, so you’re going to have to join me.”
“No, I can only use my skills for the rest of today.”
“Ah, that’s right. In that case, I’ll go outside and defeat monsters.”
A few minutes after Elira went outside, something went bang! I heard a bursting sound, but maybe Elira did it….
That night we ate the monster meat Elira had taken down and then went to sleep. Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.
“Carina! Let’s have a mock battle!”
I woke up early in the morning and waited in the living room for Carina to wake up. I could have gone on a rampage as I pleased at midnight when the date changed, but I decided it would be better to go to bed early and fight Carina in perfect condition than to do so alone and lonely.
“I would like to complain first and foremost that Carina is the one who challenged you to a mock battle, but for now, if you want to have a mock battle, please have breakfast first.”
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”
I got scolded by Sophie who woke up a little later than I did and was preparing breakfast. I remember doing something similar to this exchange in a previous life. I felt somewhat nostalgic. Sophie smiled gently when our eyes met.
“Alright! Let’s do it Carina!”
“Yes.”
I finished my breakfast and went outside to get my gear ready. I was looking forward to using this new equipment for the first time.
Besides me and Carina, Sophie, Elira, and Shana are all here. The reason for this is to make sure I’m all right and to see the power of Carina’s eyes.
“Are you both ready?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
By the way, Sophie is the referee for this mock battle.
“Let’s begin!”
“Yes!”
“Lightning Triple Half Enchantment!”
As soon as Sophie gave the signal to begin, Carina came toward me. I held up my sword, still in its sheath.
“Now, this is just a mock battle to see what Carina can do, not a killing match or anything, so this is fine, right? 』
“You’re not going to kill her or anything, but if this was against an unknown monster, I would have been angry. 』
When I did the Lightning triple half enchantment, I was a little worried and talked to Darki. Why don’t you just lick it! Always fight with all your might! I’m glad she didn’t get mad at me.
“Ha! Yah!”
I easily parry away Carina’s attacks. I originally outnumbered her in terms of status, and I even added an extra enchantment. I can handle most of Carina’s attacks with this enchantment. Even with the enchantments, my body is doing what it wants.
“Hah…hah…phew.”
I had a close encounter with Carina for a few minutes, probably to warm up my body. Sometimes I would try to counterattack her, too, but everything was guarded. She had never been able to do this before. But this wouldn’t be the power of the eye. The reason she was able to do this is simply because Carina has become stronger since coming to the deep forest.
“Then let’s go…!”
“Ah.”
Carina said this and ran to close the distance she had once taken. Then, when she was just five steps away from me, she opened her left eye wide.
“Ha!”
“Ggghh……!”
Carina closed the distance that should have been five steps. But I was too busy guarding myself with my sword. I was pushed back a few meters by the momentum of the attack because of my poor guarding.
“Nah…!”
When I looked at Carina, who was coming toward me to attack me, I saw that she was covered with a yellow blur. That was very similar to my Lightning enchantment. I had a bad feeling, including the sensation of my [Attack] and [Agility] going down. I looked at my body fearfully. The yellow blur that had been on me earlier was gone.
