Chapter 131.1 \n<h1>Chapter 131 Pride ② </h1>\n\n“No way…… Master! Please, everything but this! I implore you, anything but this ―― Please forgive me……” (Tino)
“……” (Cry)
At my good idea, Tino, without joking or laughing, complained with tears flowing down her face. Arnold stopped and looked at me and Tino with a tense expression.
It was completely unexpected. I didn’t expect her to hate it so much.
No…… Eh? Do you hate it that much? Well, if you dislike it so much, you don’t have to cry, you just need to say so, I won’t force it on you ――.
It is just, I thought I kinda wanted to see it.『Over Greed (Evolving Devil Mask)』 is one of the few Relics that I can’t use at all. As a Relic enthusiast, if there is an opportunity to use it I would like for you to try it.
However, it seemed that Tino’s trauma was much deeper than I thought. From my point of view, the changes I saw in Tino when she wore the mask last time didn’t seem to be something that would make her hate it to the point of crying, but I wonder if it is different from the wearer’s perspective.
“I will do my best. I… Will do my best, pleaseee.” (Tino)
“Eh…… Ah, un, un, you are right………… It can’t be helped, we will do this another time.” (Cry)\n
Well, if the person herself says so ―― I am sure Liz will be able to support her quite well.
I let out a small sigh and since I had already taken out, I put the mask on myself. The tentacles wrapped around the back of my head and a voice echoed in my head.
『It is so futile…… ―― Muscle E-, Agility E-, Physical Strength E-, Magic Power E-, Growth potential E-, Motivation zero, overall evaluation, three point. 『Over Greed (Evolving Devil Mask)』 hasn’t reached the standard for activation. It will now be forcibly released.』(Over Greed)
As if the fixation was giving up, the tentacles which were tied behind my head became loose and hung down. What a useless Relic…… Isn’t the score lower than before?
Arnold opened his eyes widely, up to their limits. Tino too, was staring at me as if she was in shock.
“Huh…… Are you, insane!? Bastard ――” (Arnold)
“Master!? Eh… You are alright?” (Tino)
I am so alright that it is useless.
However, although the mask didn’t have any effect, wearing it had a meaning. Liz took advantage of the moment when Arnold’s focus was gathered here to jump at him. Arnold turned around, but it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, Liz’s leg was in front of Arnold and pierced his abdomen. The heavy blow that was different from her first flying kick, creates a high-pitched sound of metal clashing against metal.\n“Guuuh!?” (Arnold)
Just like this, his huge body flew through the air. The direction of the blast was to ―― The lake. Arnold bounced on the surface of the water a few times and sank into the middle of the lake with a huge splash.
That’s good. That’s very good. A surprise attack is cowardly, but only now I will allow it. Tino also didn’t have to take any damage either, which is very good.
I don’t think he is dead. No, to begin with, it is doubtful if he will even lose consciousness. I know better than anyone how monstrously tough a certified High-Level Hunter vanguard can be.
To support that, Liz is still in her fighting posture. She approached the lake while cracking her finger and licking her lower lip.
“Did you beat him?” (Cry)
“Not at allll. But don’t worry, okay? I am going to make him regret disturbing us and make sure he will never oppose us ever again.” (Liz)
“Was he strong?” (Cry)
\nThe man, who stood at the front and called out my name, took a step back as if he was startled to see my face. Speaking of which…… I was still wearing the mask.
“Where is Arnold-san…… What happened to Arnold-san!?” (Hay)
“Aaaah. Don’t worry. He is alive. He is properly alive. There is no point in fighting in a place like this. Hunters have their own battlefield, right?” (Cry)
So you should stop fighting and go love and peace. Both Arnold and Liz.
