— Reus —
Somehow we ended up fighting nobles that we didn’t really know and we were going to challenge the labyrinth without Aniki.
If I said honestly, we were always watched over and we felt uneasy since Aniki was not here. Nee-chan also felt the same, she always turned her sight may times to where Aniki usually stood and sighed secretly.
Nevertheless, Nee-chan filled up Aniki’s role by giving various instructions. Thanks to that, we didn’t stop and proceed into labyrinth and we finally arrived at eighth floor.
“Here is eighth floor isn’t it? How’s your condition, both of you?” (Emilia)
“I’m fine. I have enough remaining mana too.” (Reese)
“I don’t have any problem too.” (Reus)
Although we were assaulted by golems and traps until we came here, we were able to break through everything without any problem.
Anyhow, only one trap was installed in the corner and even golem that attacked us at the same time and they didn’t come with more than 20. There was a trap for every two to three steps forward, while 50 traps appear if compared to yesterday, so this was easy.
“This is easy victory, Nee-chan. Will Aniki praises us if we clear this first?” (Reus)
“Stop being careless, Reus. Hey, watch your step.” (Emilia)
“Oops, thank you Nee-chan.” (Reus)
I withdrew my step which was going to be embarked forward slowly and make a detour around the spot that may had magic formation. It was made really well because there was nothing visually.
“…You know it well, Emilia. But I still don’t understand at all?” (Reese)
“If you watch Sirius-sama, you will be able to do it.” (Emilia)
“However, I don’t understand some more about that one. Besides, does Reus-kun too understand why?”
“Yeah~…I am somehow barely can do it. Aniki explained that it is because of intuition.” (Reus)
I don’t understand it myself but my heart throbs when I see suspicious part and dangerous things which can’t be explained by words.
Even though Aniki said that intuition is important, I was told not to rely on it too much. The true strength when using experience and intuition properly…and it’s difficult and I don’t really understand things that has been said. But because what Aniki says is absolute, I imagine I must not stop thinking.
“That’s it for chitchat. Come!” (Emilia)
“Leave it to me, Nee-chan!” (Reus)
When I walked while thinking, a lot of golem appeared in front of us. Although there were more than 20 this time, there won’t be a problem because of our coordination.
“[Air Slash]!” (Emilia)
“[Aqua Shot]!” (Reese)
The golem’s formation is destroyed in one go by both Nee-chan’s magic, and I act viciously by jumping there. Though I might fail to cut magic formation which was the weak point yesterday and I realized finally that it was good to return back here when I slash the golems. It seems that thought was right, I could defeat all golems in one blow now. When my hand didn’t reach golems that appeared from behind, Nee-chan threw knife over there and Reese-ane’s magic won’t let golems to come closer after all.
As for Aniki, let alone golem, I think he wouldn’t let mouse to run pass him. I can’t do that since I still have long way to go but someday, surely, I want to become strong to protect important person like Aniki.
Now, this is simply and generally about me not letting them to go pass behind me by beating down a lot of golems.
“This is…the end!” (Reus)
The last golem crumbled down by my sword and became extinct. I realized I sweated a lot as a result of using too much strength but Nee-chan held the towel immediately.
“Here you go, Reus. Your pace has been slipped off for little while, be careful.” (Emilia)
“Thanks, Nee-chan. But, I don’t want let Nee-chans to face enemies even a little.” (Reus)
“You fool. Doesn’t Sirius-sama always said to understand properly the extent of what you can do? It become rude not to use the remaining disposition since we can fight too.” (Emilia)
“That’s right, Reus-kun. I want you to depend on me a little because I am training too.” (Reese)
