Chapter 40
This is an Elf? No wait, could be not.
Look closely, with those puffy ears.
And if you stare closely at that huge body, it looks shaggy like a bear.
That can’t possibly be an Elf.
That is

 that’s right

.!
“What are you called?!” (T)
“What’s wrong? Suddenly bursting out screaming!” (K)
“Let go of me! I have to know this guy’s name no matter what!” (T)
“You’re not listening anymore!” (K)
That’s true but!

. that’s true.
I struggled and raged, I was held back.
Though I gained my sanity, but it doesn’t have to be calm.
Sailor Soldier jumped and went away.
But can you catch up with that?
I highly doubt it.
Sailor Soldier jumped with an incredible momentum, and aimed a kick to Mr. Round.
But that power was a problem.
The Round thing literally bounced like a ball, the force even parting clouds in a straight line, then crashed to a tree.
“

. Ah, how could this be”
I reached out my hand, but Mr. Round still seems to be alright.
Shaking off the wood scraps and debris, he energetically bounced back up and jumped to Sailor Soldier while roaring.
“Ouuuu!”
That’s not all.
He jumped up for five meters, and activated a magical array for fire.
At this time, Sailor Soldier had already started running up a tree, then she sped up some more.
With the Japanese ninja’s pure blue body, the splendidly Round thing used fire and was dancing with brilliant steps.
(T/N: idk what’s the deal the whole Jap ninja. Guessing it’s another reference)
Furthermore, he decided to act the moment the fires settled down, holding the sword, he slashed down.
Seeing the Round thing falling down, I wonder if Sailor Soldier will get burned by the fires.
Other than that, magical arrays immediately appeared one after another.
“!!”
Before the Round’s magic completely activated, it was suddenly stopped.
First, water offset the fire.
The Ice Magic was thrown with the two, and cold air covered the ground as ice surrounded Mr. Round.
Sailor Soldier landed safely, her hair fluttering behind her.
“Fuu, you sure are tough”
The series of actions happened within the span of only a few seconds, without a single wasted movement.
It was cool and enough to make me a little stunned.
“What was that, how cool. Hey what just happened?”
“It’s physical strengthening. However, to master it as such a level really requires a lot of talent”
“

as expected of Sailor Soldier, impressive”
But after exhibiting her prowess, Sailor Soldier’s situation overturned in the next moment.
Another black figure suddenly appeared from a different tree, and charged with an unbelievably huge sword at Sailor Soldier.
It had a fullplated armor, and held the sword that is easily two meters in length, which should be held with both hands, all of it one-handedly.
It’s clearly very heavy, but it looks like all that weight meant nothing.
The body was like a flexible string that could brilliantly absorb the impact from it, aside from the body’s toughness, it also showed a high level of skill.
Sailor Soldier was barely able to dodge, but the ice had been smashed, and the Round thing was free.
It’s become two vs one.
Sailor Soldier was put in a more difficult situation compared to a while ago.
Probably feeling that the opponents’ strength was pretty high.
Kawazu-san was also sweating buckets, and he knitted his brows as the battle was progessing in a bad direction.
“This is bad

 to be that masterful with the added weight of the armor and sword. There’s no mistaking that level of skill. There’s also that Round guy

”
“

 is it bad?”
“What are you gonna do? Not gonna save her?”
The Dragonfly started to worry, I was also wracking my brains on what should I do.
“Yea, what to do. The opponent is probably with the Elves, and it’s not good to raise a hand against them. It would be fine if Sailor Soldier just retreats here”
“Just call her”
“But consider this, right? She stepped up with the intention to win, isn’t it bad to get in the way? Besides, beyond this point, isn’t it a good chance to see just how much we can believe in her?”
“Uueh, my stomach feels bad with that”
“No no, it’s important, you see? Additionally, that’s for the sake of protecting us, you know?
How do you usually boost that? There doesn’t seem to be a chance, as this battle of experts is unfolding afterall.”
“

 you’re actually serious, aren’t you? That may be right but! That’s it! There should be something we could do, right!”
The dragonfly was riled up to the point of a tantrum but I just sighed with a ‘dear, oh dear’, then I unintentionally spoken of the existence of the hidden ball that I prepared.
“Well, gimme a moment. I have something on my hands”
“Really? Good Tarou!”
“Since when did you have something like that”
Tonbo was surprised by it, but Kawazu-san had a look of doubt.
That’s why I would be troubled if you underestimate my chiken state.
Aside from my magic, I haven’t neglected to defend them.
“Well, it’s something I prepared? I would’ve preferred it if I didn’t have to use it though”
But I never thought that it would become this rough.
Even if I call it a trump card, I’m just not sure on how useful it would be.
I don’t have the tiniest bit of confidence.
To act in accordance with Sailor Soldier’s way of doing things, I think it would be best to personally feel our side’s magic in order to integrate her to our pace.
There was sweat on my back.
“Fu!!”
While I was secretly worrying, the swordswoman sidestepped the armored one, dodging from the side, both sides weren’t holding back one bit, skillfully standing their ground.
To continue, the knight took out two lumps of iron.
The aim probably doesn’t matter.
He formed a cross while swinging them, and no matter where it hits, it would be a fatal injury to Sailor Soldier who only had light armor. Sailor Soldier jumped to dodge.
Using the blade, which was momentarily beneath her, as a foothold, she jumped.
She used the momentum to do a backflip and distanced herself, after turning around, they both stopped moving.
There was the quite sound of intermittent breathing.
It’s the Round thing that broke the stalemate between the two.
Bradishing the morningstar, he aimed to hit Sailor Soldier.
“Chi

!”
Receiving an attack from that huge body, she avoided with a click of her tongue, and Sailor Soldier’s balance was broken.
When she thought she had properly dodged, something sprung up.
“Not good! I’ll do it!”
Kawazu-san deflected it with magic, but a light struck Sailor Soldier’s sword.
We were shocked when we saw it.
It’s looked like a meteor that flew straight out of nowhere, as it broke the sword that was made from steel.
“What was that just now! Beam!”
“No, that was an arrow! It had lightning magic with it!”
“So they still have an ambush!”
We naturally can’t just stay silent when there’s three of them now.
Again, an arrow flew past my shoulder, and the barrier in front of me repelled and crackled.
It’s definitely an arrow that fell on the ground.
“A, it’s true”
“That’s beside the point! Isn’t this dangerous!?”
“That’s right! You have to show your trump card soon!”
“Hurry!”
“Got it! Sailor Soldier! Keywords ‘Field of Swords’!”
I shouted with all my might, and Sailor Soldier who was in a pinch after losing her weapon immediately reacted.
“F-field of Swords!?”
Sailor Soldier just obediently repeated the words that she heard from me, without even knowing what they meant.
That’s fine.
I smirked.
The Keywords activated without a problem, and a blue light shone from Sailor Soldier’s chest.
