「Any missiles, with the exception of magic ones, are ineffective against me, you know」
That’s how it was! That emerald green gauntlet averts physical long range attacks due to the wind attribute magic bestowed on it!
「Gun Mode! Reload! 」
But still, when I think it will become a constraint, I fire away the guns with both hands, spread the barrage (although it is only 12 shots) and retreat backwards.
However, in face of that Elsie charged towards the rain of bullets, while averting them with the gauntlet on her left hand, and continued shortening the distance.
「Blade Mode! 」
While dodging sideways Elsie’s roaring right straight (punch), I sweep sideways with Brunhild, which I once again made into long sword. This time Elsie dodges it, in this gap I took some distance and tried to regain my posture.
「You are naive-degozaru! 」
From behind Elsie, Yae’s sharp thrust is released. Wait a minute! Even if you said that the edge is removed, it will still pierce, won’t it!
I somehow dodge a point of the sword coming close to my shoulder and sweep at Yae’s feet, who passed by me.
「Kuu!? 」
「Reload! 」
I point the muzzle of the New Model Army in my left hand, aiming at Yae who fell down.
However, because Elsie threw a kick before I could pull the trigger, I had no choice but to jump back to avoid it.
Good grief, isn’t this absolutely disadvantageous for me!? From the normal point of view, isn’t it strange to fight two-to-one! Furthermore, magic is also prohibited!
Yae, after standing up, takes out the wakizashi from the waist and prepares the two katanas. What?
Yae starts running towards me in low posture and does a reverse raising slash with the katana in her right hand. I dodge it in somehow with a backstep, or so I thought, this time the wakizashi in her left hand came flying, aimed at me.
(tl: 逆袈裟 aka ‘reverse raising slash (from lower right side to upper left side)’, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks1S8dMBOpg )
Wooooah!? Is it normal to throw it!? Wasn’t katana the soul of the samurai!? Or is it because it is a wakizashi, which doesn’t count?
Twisting the back, I was just barely able to dodge it but that was dangerous! I was grazed, actually!
Before Yae, who threw her wakizashi, rearranged her stance, I drive into her all the bullets from both hands. At this distance, you won’t be able to avoid them!
「Guu!! 」
Yae crumbles down after receiving the rubber bullets. Still she makes a horizontal sweeping strike with her katana, but I avoided it, lightly jumping back.
However, Elsie was lying in wait earlier over there. It is bad, she is too close! Readying the gun, aiming, and shooting, but her fist was faster!
A single blow with all her might came from Elsie’s right hand. Kuu, if it comes to that, it is sink or swim…!
While averting my body, dodging this fist with paper-thin difference, and releasing the gun in my left hand, I catch Elsie’s right hand which blew past me. With this momentum, in order to floor her I turn my back to her body, and placing my right elbow into the her armpit, I threw her in one go.
「Naa!? 」
With the small scream I heard over my shoulder, I threw Elsie to the ground. Seoi Nage or something, since I learned this in school, my body seemed to remember it.
