“It’s there.”
Isshi and Premier lay down in the tall grass and by Verde’s hushed voice, turn their eyes to direction where she said to be cautious. \?\
Then there, right in the middle of the grassy land, stand a huge monster which have skin of the earth-like color glaring the surrounding area. \?\
Apparently, it seems to be looking for a prey.
It has a big lethal club in it’s hand, the blood of it’s previous prey stick before it and blackened it, it seems to be impossible for the other party which consist of a high school boy and innocent girls to go against it.
There is no problem, as I believed Premier words, but I wonder that it is really okay to came up here.
As he look behind while borne with such uneasiness, looking all the homunculus girls in their lowered position which only have golden eyes as common trait, and trusting the better of him. \?\
(No no no no! There are only uneasy element here) \?\
As he scratch his head, Premier next to him, thought (Why are you so upset?). While understand the real reason why such expression showed on Isshi’s face. \?\ (TLC:と彼が頭をがしがしとかいていると、隣にいたプルミエが、何をそんなに慌てているのですか? という、本当に理由が分からないとでも言った表情を浮かべてイッシのことを見ていた。)
Ee, Am I amusing? \?\
His confusion is becoming more and more.
Thus in the same way Premier called Verde,
“Someone having combat skill as a gift among the people of one digit number, come here.”
And, a beautiful sound whispered quietly.
Then, a slightly active girl with silvery hair that seems to be the youngest among the girls, and a girl with raven-black hair and tanned skin which appear unusual among the homunculus stepped forward before him.
Premier quietly informs the two people.
“Master desire to move to safe place as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the obstruction, can you two do it?”
No no no no!!! Was the words that Isshi speaks loudly in his mind. \?\
By all odds, the girls before his eyes, is not possible to defeat that huge creature.
When he was about to stop this foolish act, the girl with silver hair opened her mouth.
“Certainly jayo, I who are one digit number No. 0004 believe that I can take care of that not so scary monster in a matter of second jayo.” \?\ (TLC:「もちろんじゃよ。わしを誰じゃと思うておる。一桁のNo.0004じゃぞ。あれくらいのモンスターであれば、恐るるに足りんわ」)
How can you be so confidence, where do you take it out? No, it absolutely abrupt. And suddenly a huge sickle appear in the space atop.
She while grinning in high spirit, swing the sickle back and forth many, not fitting her small physique at all.
An a provocative gaze that doesn’t suit her childish face, turn toward the Troll monster vicinity that’s not realizing it. \?\ (TLC:幼い要望には似合わない挑発的な視線は、この界隈で自分にかなうものはいないと信じるトロル、という怪物に注がれている)
The other girl with tanned skin, had also showed a dazzling smile.
“I’m glad. The time for me to be useful for Master comes early. Please leave it to me. This one pathetic ability is to alter one’s body constitution. Ah, by the way this one is No. 0008.”
When saying so, some kind of aura runs momentarily to her slender child-like arm.
And then, she draw her hand, to the large tree next to her.
The earth begin to rumble suddenly in the next moment.
Isshi got panicked thinking there is an earthquake, but understand the cause immediately.
The reason, because the big tree got pulled out from the earth easily with one hand by the tanned girl.
Earthquake was something that was caused by she showed up her power.
“Don’t worry, No. 0004 and No. 0008 can take the like of that Troll. Master, now, as supreme being as to give signal to start the war. Please use this stone, this would startle the monster and allowed the girl to start the raid.”
As Premier says so, a small stone that easy to throw has already in Isshi’s grip.
Indeed, from a glimpse of their power, it might be easy for the girls to defeat that fearsome monster.
However, there is no change in making girls proceed to the battlefield.
Is there no other way, despite situation that can’t be helped.
He called both girls with the fluttering beautiful silver hair and black hair, and said.
“It doesn’t mean that I don’t trust you girls, however to let you two beautiful girls face monster… Just come back immediately if the situations become dangerous,” \?\ (TLC:「信頼していないわけじゃない。ただ、やっぱり君たちみたいな可愛らしい少女たちをモンスターに向かわせるのは本当はつらいんだ。危なければ無理をせず、すぐに帰ってきてくれ」)
Saying that, he stroke both girls’ head, making them trembling with deep emotion (or excitement). \?\
“What a benevolent Yakata-sama. Yakata-sama we understood. Leave everything to us! We will obliterate that monster without even leaving one speck of dust.” (TLC:「なんと慈悲深い館様(やかたさま)じゃ。承知いたしました。わしに全てお任せくだされ。塵ひとつ残さず、かのモンスターを滅殺いたしましょう」)
“As No. 0004 says! To got picked up by a kind Master (goshujin)! This doll get more what it deserve! It’s OK, Master, I(Boku) will make it into small pieces in an instant! IN SMALL PIECES!” (TLN:Thank you Guro-san for the correction!)
How come, I seems to lit up their fighting spirit even more!?
Isshi says unnecessary things and then regretting it.
“Oh, that’s right!”, said the black-haired girl.
“Me and her want to hear our name before fighting, It’s not because we might die, but we who will fight for Master much more from now on, want to remember our first important fight.” \?\ (TLC:「戦う前に僕と彼女の名前が欲しいな。死ぬかもしれないからじゃないよ。これからずっとご主人様のために戦う僕らが、この大切なはじめての戦いを忘れないために」)
Two people stare intensely at him when they say so.
Oh, it surely is a good idea to name them in hope of victory in the fight.
He gives two names that came up to his mind.
“Arge” as to represent the color of silver of girl No. 0004. (TLN:Thx for the help)
As the girl with jet-black hair I named her “Nacht”, that means the night. (TLN:Thx for the help)
After they smiled in satisfied manner, a ferocious smile like a carnivorous animal when they found their prey floated in their faces.
When Isshi see this, he throw the stone that he held in his hand, and hit the Troll’s back with sound [Ctak].
