That swordā¦ Itās as powerful or even more so than the trident before it broke. It could probably destroy the entire fortress in a single slash.
Itās three times bigger than me, entirely black from the blade to the handle, including all its decorations. It would be more appropriate to say that it looks like a bunch of shadows took the form of a sword.
ā Letty, take the two and run away to momās place. As angry as she is, as long as Takaya is there, I donāt think sheāll kill you.
ā Mistress, what is your plan?
ā Iāll buy time. Iām the only one that can stand their ground against him.
Mumuruu swung her spear and started chanting a spell.
ā ā¦Understood.
Letty might have wanted to help, but against another guardian, sheāll be more of a hindrance.
Demons have limits just like humans. Willpower alone isnāt enough to be strong.
ā Iām sorry, Takaya. I wonāt be able to help you with crafting the spear.
ā Mumuruu-san!?
At that moment I realized. Mumuruu doesnāt even intend to win. She has already accepted her defeat.
Sheās just trying to buy time so we can escape.
ā No. Mumuruu-san. Stop it. We can do this. We can get out of this. We just have to work together. Itās for these occasions that I haveĀ this.
ā Takaya.
Mumuruu stopped my hand as I was reaching into my bag.
ā I know you came prepared. But this is not the time.
ā But he willā¦
ā No need to worry. Heās not gonna kill me. He wants to make me his wife. Itāll be fine, I think.
ā Mumuruu-sanā¦
It wonāt be fine.
Otherwise, she wouldnāt be shaking like this.
ā By the way, as compensation for not being able to help with the new spear, Iāll give you the materials.
ā Materials? Waitā¦ you donāt meanā¦
ā Yeah. Use this. Itāll be way faster.
Mumuruu handed me the Trident of Darkness.
ā Letty, Iāll leave Takaya to you. If anything happens to him, Iāll make sure to punch you real hard. Even if Iām behind bars.
