Isekai Shoukan chapter 56: Mad love
My sharp teeth extend to Tifal´s nape――I was going to pierce it with my fangs, so I slowly opened my mouth.
However, when I was about to lose my reason, Kaede's voice was suddenly murmured into my ear in a strangely calm tone and I returned to sanity at the same time, I bite my lower lip in a hurry and closed my mouth causing a line of blood to drip from my lower lip.
Immediately after, I licked the blood with my tongue and opened my mouth with a bitter expression.
“......Emm......ah......What were you trying to do?”
I was trying to suck blood! However, I would rather die than say those embarrassing lines, so I tried to avoid the question.
"...... Why......Why won't you answer me!? Hey, why!? Why!? Why is that!?"
Kaede shouts desperately. However, her voice was somewhat mixed with excitement and other various emotions at least.
Perhaps, it’s due to the time that I spent with Kaede is longer than anyone else except for her parents. I had confidence that I could say something, but I was surprised because I never saw such a facial expression until now. The shock made me loosen the power on my hands releasing Kaede who was still on my back.
As a result, Kaede who decided to put her feet on the ground caught my chest and brought me closer to her face.
Kaede´s beautiful facial features are already familiar even from a far distance. However, there was absolutely no temperate atmosphere that was always floating on her face, changing it to a halfway threatening color.
Thinking about it now, I noticed a dangerous atmosphere that was just beside me and I stopped thrusting out my left hand in a hurry.
I was scratching my head by thinking of a solution on how I should tell my childhood friend about vampires, but before I could come up with a way I stopped, the best reason to explain it is that I can't grasp the current situation.
“E,Emm......what's going on? Kaede. You look too different from usual? You know, Tifa is surprised because you’re shouting so mu-”
"Look directly into my eyes!!!"”
I was frustrated by her intimidating attitude and replied with a bitter smile but on the way my head was grabbed by Tifal´s hands who wants me to look at her.
But until the very end, it was blocked without any indication and I was forced to face Kaede.
"Hey, why are you looking at other people? Io-kun, you......uuh, you should only look at me.”
Kaede issued a murmuring voice in a way like a parent admonishes his children normally.
She was no longer the Kaede I know, so who is she? Although I wanted to retort, I swallowed these words because I don't have the confidence to cast such a joke-like question in this current situation.
And the woman in front of me is she really Kaede!? At the same time, I was bothered by this condition, how this happened? I was stiff, causing my eyes to blink in an unnatural way.
“Hey, Io-kun......something’s strange? My Io-kun doesn't hide anything from me!! I'm the most important thing for you right?......only me!! This......I know something about you that Io-kun doesn't even realize himself.....ah, that's right. You were poisoned by that female. Just you wait, I'll get you back to your sanity soon......and then......let's love each other like we did in the past. Seeking......crazy......uhuu, huhuhuhuhu"
Something strange? That's my line!!
Somehow this seems really bad. I wonder what, at that time!! Saying and doing something like that, can’t she just stop it already!! ...More than that, who is this woman!! This is just some crazy lump of meat that looks like Kaede!!
And while Kaede´s crazy laughter echoes, she released both hands from my face and swung down making a fist with her open hands. There was something strange.
From the index finger to the little finger, three knives are pinched in between the four fingers, showing the blades looking out from that exact moment. In addition, another three blades are poking out from the other hand indicating that she has more than three knives, making it six knives in total. Tifal took them out of somewhere and quickly changed her attitude.
......Th, Thissss
This is a momentary incident, so I was shivering but I was also taken a breath. I tried to stop her in a hurry, but before putting it into action, I place my hands on my back, directly over my shoulder blades and was forced to reply "What are you doing?" with a scream.
Gigigi, she scarily turned around over her shoulder like a robot. Then, Tifal, who was facing me with a smile, had negative feelings such as hatred and rage surrounding her.
Now I need to sooth not only Kaede but Tifal as well and that goes fully beyond my capabilities. My brain is going haywire from overheating.
“Hey, Iori. Weren't you just childhood friends? Can you explain what she said then? Hey, hey, hey!!"
Tifal is similar to Kaede.
It was an issue that I couldn't control any longer. What should I do......immediately after looking up at the sky while accusing myself in my mind, a dark shadow covered us――while we bathed by the sunset.
And immediately afterward, an overwhelming voice that was totally contrary to the domineering air was heard.
“Uossyaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Yakitori gottennnnnnnnnnnn!”
As it crashes from the high sky while blocking the sun in the process, the shadow's true identity was revealed and it was the monster bird that we were looking for.
The monster bird that crashed down is full of wounds that are ridden by a jade haired elf――who was standing on top of it.
Isekai Shoukan chapter 57: Escape
Uoooooo!! Nice! Nice Edith!! You came back at a good timing!!
I raised an applause in my mind. The return of that pervert managed to broke down this sticky air, although, her achievement is still remarkably to raise a cry of joy.
The atmosphere has been stiff since a while ago. I had been physically and mentally cornered, especially if I hadn't made conspicuous actions.
And I was surprised at the existence of the monster bird which is currently falling down, suddenly, giving me an intimidating glance with its muddy eyes caused me to move my gaze and look at the sky.
And a few seconds later, before the bird fully hits the ground, I immediately put it in my item box, and since I caught the monster bird in the air, there was no sound of crashing nor impact that can be heard.
“Wh......what!? My grilled chicken! Even though I was thinking of making sautè yakitori today!"
I was surprised by the bird that had fallen from the sky, but I noticed the power of Tifal loosens just a little, so I freed myself in a hurry. And in that moment, I fully used Vampirization and body strengthening to store the bird into my ring by making an extraordinary leap.
And at the same time, while skillfully using wind magic, Edith landed without making a loud noise, before shaking her head left and right and raising a stupid voice.
Saute......can Edith actually cook? That’s unexpected. Is she actually going to have a big, black pot, and a pawn in oil?
"OK, as expected I found that grandchild!!"
Immediately after the bird disappeared, I had a boy who had soft green skin in my arms. I saw the boy who is probably the grandson of the chief that is currently in charge of the dragon-human town. Once I caught a glimpse of him from the sky, I anticipated the place where he would likely land and caught him.
A few seconds later after I saved that boy, I raised a scream.
“Hey, Edith!! I'm heading to town to deliver this guy! I'll meet you there! If you leave!! ......I don't know if you bathed in gastric juice or something, but you smell too much. Nose!! My noseee!!"
I ran away like a rabbit while distorting my face from the bad smell.
"Eh!? What's the matter!? Why are you leaving!? Eh? Eh?"
Edith didn't understand the words that I said causing me to almost throw up. However, there was one woman with an ecstasy-like expression to my reaction.
“Why are you running away? ......Ah, I understand. Do you want to play tag? In the past, Io-kun, I and elder sister Sora played it often......all right, I'll catch you!"
Elder sister Sora――Sora who is three years older than me is my elder sister. Since she studied abroad as an elementary school student, I had no opportunity to speak with her face to face. I remember saying "close relative......" or "Law......", but why she studied abroad was still a mystery. However, since she was calling me on the phone for about an hour every single day, It didn’t make me feel lonely.
While drawing her eyebrows up, Kaede looks at me with suspicious eyes for a moment and then smiled. With her sweet looking smile, she opens her mouth indicating that she is saying something.
And at that time, that smiling face was the same expression that I knew from her, but the action that Kaede did to catch me wasn't as peaceful like the tag we used to play when we were kids.
“I said let’s play tag, but you don’t need that leg, you’ll run from me, so that leg isn’t needed, ne!!”
With a knife equipped on both of her hands, she threw a knife that was aimed at my leg. Literally, just to catch me.
......Uusoooooooo!!! The way to catch me is too executive!! Kaede doesn’t have the character for peace 『へ』!! Continuationwoo!!
However, although I was impatient in my mind, my skill that has fallen through the scene in the eternal continent doesn’t miss one sec, turning to the shoulder to the six knives that are coming from behind heading towards my feet. Everything which was coming towards me in front of my eyes was frozen by simultaneously saying "Freezeee!!", I knocked down the imminent knife.
Huu, I am relieved with this. I also thought that it was only for a brief moment.
I was only keenly aware of Kaede, I didn’t notice that Tifal launched her "Dark Sword Round Dance Distortion".
It seemed like that the dark-colored sword was floating around her and was ready to launch towards me.
......What did I do......and as I gazed at her I tried to keep my mind somehow while slowly releasing small droplets of tears. ……
“Wa, wait a minute!! It is a joke!! I still think that it......"
As if to interrupt my words, a jet black, stained sword flew at me, making me think that the six previous knives were cute.
“Seriously!? I'm against violence!! So, someone help meeeee!!"
I screamed as if my soul is leaving my body, but no one was going to hear it, so I just ran away.
