71 – Stray Cat

“Hmm, hmm.”

From noble mtl dot com

Facing the dark forest that was slowly beginning to become visible, the orca took her light steps.

The gaze was directed toward the forest, but what he was really looking at was beyond it.

What I remember was a few days ago.

‘I was half-reasoned and attacked the news my father gave me.’

Slowly recalling the sight of his own bright red blade attacking the platinum-haired boy.

The orca raised some doubts on its face.

Yes, it was.

If you think about it now, it’s probably a bit of a puzzle.

With a truly confused mind, without even thinking about the aftermath.

-Your brother is already dead.

“… ….”

I just started attacking in anger at the words White had uttered.

And the attack contained considerable energy without her knowledge.

It wasn’t just talk.

In fact, she, Orca, has maxed out her bloody aura.

Utilizing the ability of the family’s secret technique, ‘blood’, they used more than 100% of their power.

…… By the way, it was.

That boy, White.

I just blocked her attacks normally or calmly.

“… ….”

Orca’s expression began to take on a subtle light.

‘It’s a strange thing.’

It was a thought that she only thought of now, but if she was herself at the time, she was confident that she could easily subdue even that Serena Lii Kanter.

Serena is said to have achieved the highest level among her peers.

It was a story that she drew out her strong power enough to subdue her and used it.

It was the hidden power of the Orca and Vampir families, and at the same time a kind of ability that should not be easily revealed.

But at the time, blinded by her rage, she unwittingly used that ability.

Raising the ability of ‘Phi’ to the maximum, she concentrated her full power in an instant.

She stretched out her hand toward White, and threw her leg out.

…… I did.

How could she, in fact, have easily overpowered herself so casually?

“… ….”

Slowly stopping her steps, the orca looked up at the sky.

Slightly overcast sky, but not much interest.

She just needed a place to focus her eyes, and her thoughts continued in real time.

‘Was he hiding his power?’

Of course I knew, that he was a stronger wizard than was known.

Actually, it wasn’t that long ago that White overpowered Serena.

How could I not know?

That was not an achievement that an ordinary 5th circle wizard could accomplish.

He did think he might have already reached the end of at least 5 circles, or even beyond.

But that’s it.

Orca was confident.

He is confident that if he puts in all his strength, he can overcome even a 6th circle wizard.

Trust in one’s own ability and power.

It was neither an overestimation nor an underestimation, just an ordinary, objective judgment.

‘A wizard who overwhelms me with all his might.’

Putting a hand on her lips lightly, Orca pondered.

The evaluation of White was being adjusted in real time.

‘Circle 6, or Circle 7?’

Continuing his guess, Orca raised the corners of her mouth.

…… Actually, it was pretty good.

Whether it’s Circle 6 or Circle 7.

It was definitely not something that could be achieved at the age of a teenager, even if White had more power than that.

I wish it was better, but I won’t think of it as a bad thing.

“… ….”

…… I like strong people.

Whether it’s strength or mental maturity.

Just looking at a person who shines so straight always aroused a good impression.

Especially if it is a boy of the same age.

“…… Oh, what am I saying now?”

Feeling the heat rise in an instant, Orca covered her eyes with her palms.

His face is hot, so maybe he is now a bright red blush.

Carefully embracing such a foolish thought, Orca bit her lip lightly and began moving her steps again.

The destination was still the same.

As she entered the forest in front of her eyes, Orca covered her mouth with a faint smile.

Indeed, it was a fresh and warm smile that was appropriate for a teenager.

*****

…… And it comes to now

“Ahahahaha, ahahahaha… ….”

“… ….”

In front of Orca, who was smiling innocently and making an awkward expression, Ashera shone her cold eyes.

“Love, love.”

“… ….”

With Ashera in front of her who started muttering slowly, Orca swallowed her dry saliva.

I don’t know why.

I don’t know why.

I thought I shouldn’t disobey the girl in front of me with impressive golden eyes.

It could be described as close to intuition.

The blood of the Vampir family spoke.

“Ahahahaha, really. It’s fun, it’s fun…….”

Don’t be hostile to the black-haired girl who laughs a little hollow right in front of you.

I wonder if that really stemmed from fear.

…… If not, or—

*****

‘Be angry.’

At the same time, remember what you want.

Forcing it out, earnestness.

Desperately to reach a higher level, through artificial means.

It was something only he could do, and it was an eccentricity.

But the possibility was high.

“…… “

…… ‘, Judged White.

Quaaa!

Before I knew it, the radiant platinum hair was blowing in the rough wind, and the blue eyes that contained the sea reached a turbid stagnant state.

Sug-

Spreading mana all over her body, White serenely raised her hand.

And then, the next moment.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!

“… ….”

A man standing where White extended her finger disappeared in an instant.

It’s okay to say that it’s gone, or it’s extinct.

White took her eyes off the place where the gray Demon King, Afar, had disappeared before her eyes.

The mana was stable before I knew it.

…… But.

Go oh oh-

I couldn’t hold back the momentum that he secretly scattered all over the place.

It would be safe to say that I couldn’t.

‘It brings out more earnestness.’

With his empty eyes glowing eerily, White continued to use mana.

─I want two things.

The first was revenge against the 12 demon lords.

Although it is a time that has now disappeared, it was the world he himself lived in, and the continent.

Revenge against the ugly wizards who pushed such a world into the precipice of destruction in an instant.

It will ruin it horribly, and give them an end that will be the worst for them.

To the extent that it can be said without fail, definitely.

“… ….”

…… And, the second one.

Of course, she was the guardian of Ashera, a girl with black hair and golden eyes.

Her

She Defend her, and defeat her enemies who threaten her.

At any cost.

No matter what form it takes.

If necessary, even by giving your soul.

Somehow, even if it happens to rewind time again.

‘I will save Master.’

…… And.

“──.”

It was right after White had such an idea.

Quaaa!

Once again, blue-colored mana began to erupt violently from White’s body.

‘──Ah.’

Spitting out a brief exclamation, White’s pupils trembled.

And at the same time, I was able to intuit.

An experiment to raise her own level, or a gamble.

Although it was judged to be highly probable, it can never be denied that it was a risky act.

That such a gamble ended successfully.

‘…… It’s been a while. This sense overflowing with mana.’

Ugh-

Feeling the sensation of creating another ring of mana near his heart.

White put a satisfied smile on her lips.

“…… hahahaha.”

White let out a shallow laugh once.

…… Slowly, his mind began to surface.

Get out of the swamp of the past, get out of the world of blue and white images.

Quietly and surely.

White was returning to reality.

“… ….”

…… And.

And.

What did White see for the first time after slowly opening his eyes?

From noble mtl dot com

It was truly a sight that was both puzzling and at the same time incomprehensible.

“…… Well, it’s a blessing. ‘I am a stray cat.'”

“Yes, yes? What cat?”

“The thief cat, Lady Orca.”

“Yes…… ?”

“If you don’t know, follow along and try. Or, will you force me to open your mouth?”

Flinch.

“…… Um, am I a stray cat?”

“Yes, well done.”

Clap clap clap!

“…… ?”

His own teacher, Ashera, claps while having conversations that don’t make sense.

“Hibb.”

And seeing her like that, she saw the orca shaking her pupils as if she was frightened.

“…… ???”

On rare occasions, White floated a sincere question mark above her head.

What kind of situation is this?
