Chapter 193 – Ep.193 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
‘Hip?’
I thought carefully about whether I had misunderstood it, but no matter how many times I looked at it, the cheeky adventurer’s lips were saying the word ‘ass’.
‘What the hell…? .’
Siron spoke in a low voice that only she could hear toward Aria, who was shaking her head with a distorted expression on her face.
“Aren’t you coming?”
There was no more respect.
He only provoked with a twisted smile that was both an open sneer and a mockery.
“Tsk…”
Aria wanted to rush in right away, but she wasn’t so stupid that she couldn’t learn.
The opponent reacted at a speed that even surprised himself.
She even appeared to block the sword strike with all her might by lightly crushing it with her foot.
Is that all she is?
I did my best to retrieve the blocked sword, but I was unable to remove it from the adventurer’s feet.
If the adventurer hadn’t put his foot away, he probably wouldn’t have recovered the sword.
‘Body vision, muscle strength… Everyone is better than me.’
I hate to admit it, but I can’t deny what I’ve seen and experienced.
‘I definitely felt like I was being cut at first…’
The feeling of cutting something from the sword raised upward was transmitted to my fingertips. The problem is the heaviness that immediately follows.
‘He’s wearing something underneath.’
There was no hint of special energy or magical power being used by the other person.
As Aria was taking her stance and carefully analyzing her poetry, her partner, Siron, who had been quietly watching her, took her steps.
Startle.
Aria trembled at the other person’s sudden movement.
And then she backed away little by little.
“Are you running away?”
Siron laughed, showing his characteristic shark teeth.
Aria didn’t respond.
From the moment she pulled out her sword in an unsightly manner, she had no face left to protect.
Moreover, if she rushes into the current situation when she only has a vague idea of her opponent’s skills, she will be showing others that she is incompetent and foolish.
‘I don’t want to look worse than this to her sister…’
Aria clenched her teeth.
An adventurer slowly walking towards this direction as if he was out for a walk.
‘Five paces.’
This was the gap where she could swing her sword and strike her opponent.
Aria watched Siron’s eyes as he walked by and calculated the distance between her and her as she was shrinking. And.
‘Now… !!’
She aimed her sword precisely at her opponent’s solar plexus and stabbed it.
But her sword, which pierced the air, did not reach its target.
“Huh?!”
The pain coming from her hand holding the sword.
It was a surprise attack launched without any prior action. However, the opponent lifted his foot faster than that and kicked away the left hand.
The sword aimed at the solar plexus was aimed at the sword’s face, and the opponent avoided the sword by simply twisting his head without changing his expression at all.
Aria moved her arm as it was.
With the intention of cutting off her opponent’s head.
Ahhhhh!!
However, contrary to expectations, the arm does not move.
Strong pressure coming from the wrist.
Only then did he realize that his wrist had been grabbed by the other person.
“… “Let go!!”
“Okay.”
“Huh?!”
I was embarrassed by the sensation of my body leaning forward against my will.
The adventurer who was holding his wrist pulled him back.
‘I’d rather just leave it like this… ?!’
Aria, who was trying to strengthen her upper body, was taken aback by the empty parade ground that appeared in front of her.
In that brief moment, her opponent stepped aside to her.
Upper body leaning forward.
And.
Wow!!
“Kya?!”
Aria ended up screaming due to the tremendous pain coming from her buttocks.
“Puhup!!”
Due to her unexpected shock, she forgot how she was going to roll on the floor and just fell down.
Thanks to this, her face was nicely swept across the floor of the parade ground.
Her pretty forehead turned red, and a dark red liquid began to slowly flow from her high nose and down her philtrum.
“You idiot.”
Everything again.
At the adventurer’s taunts coming from behind her, Aria gritted her teeth and stood up from her seat.
“My nose is bleeding. You.”
“… Shut up.”
Aria roughly wiped the blood that had flowed down onto the back of her hand.
Red marks spread down her philtrum.
Siron quietly glared at her Aria and then opened her mouth.
“Five times.”
“… ?”
Siron smiled and said to Aria, who furrowed her brow.
“You five times. Me once. Or should I make it ten?”
“… You!!”
Arya shook her body with anger.
I admit it. That her opponent is much stronger than herself.
But what exactly is that attitude?
“Necessary… Doesn’t exist!!”
She decided not to care about her surroundings anymore.
She had just fallen, so she didn’t have any more respect to lose, and judging by her opponent’s attitude, she knew that he would make fun of her no matter what stance she took.
Wow!!
A soft light flowed from Aria’s arms.
It was a phenomenon created by the gathering of what little magical power was left.
A powerful vertical slash with strength placed on the waist.
Siron glared at her sword falling towards her own head and lifted her left leg high. Then she twisted her waist sharply.
Kaan-!!
Siron’s foot kicked the sharp blue blade that fell precisely.
“Ugh!!”
Aria barely let go of her sword due to the tremendous shock.
Shiron looked at Aria, whose posture was disturbed, and silently touched her lips.
-Once.
She said, a vein popping on Arya’s forehead.
“Keuuuuu!!”
Clenching her jaw so tightly that her teeth cracked, she struck again with her sword.
Kaang, kang, kaang-!!
“Aaaaa!!”
Kang-!!
Four sword strikes followed.
The opponent blocked all four sword strikes with just a raised leg.
The diagonal slash was made with his thigh.
The stab aimed at a vital point was with his knee.
With a black shank aimed at the waist.
The sword that just bounced was also caused by the opponent’s kick.
What’s even more infuriating is that even though the opponent moved one beat behind him, he blocked all of his attacks.
Aria was about to adjust her stance to strike again, but Siron, who had been standing still, extended her hand towards her.
“Ah…”
Aria’s eyes widened.
I was so excited that I forgot to keep the distance between me.
Wow!!
By the time I realized that, my wrist had already been grabbed by the other person.
When she came to her senses, her body was already leaning forward.
Wow!!
“Keueuuuuu!!”
Aria clenched her teeth at the intense pain that followed.
Her butt was throbbing as if it was going to explode at any moment.
The good news is that I didn’t roll on the floor.
“Shit… !!”
Arya quickly turned her body around with her bloodshot eyes.
Siron glared at Aria with the same expression as the first time and laughed.
“Make it ten?”
“… Shut up!!”
The anger I had been suppressing burst out.
Everyone watching around her heard Aria’s cries.
And getting kicked by the red-haired adventurer.
Wow!!
“Keuuuuu… !!”
“Are you going to continue?”
“… Shut up!!”
Kang, Kang!!
Arya knew it wouldn’t work, but she continued to swing her sword at Siron.
Shiron easily blocked Aria’s attack, looking no different from her first time.
Bah!!
She kicked her ass once again.
“Ugh…”
This was the fourth time.
Only four times.
After just four kicks, Aria’s legs were shaking.
I couldn’t see it clearly, but it was so painful that it felt like the flesh on her buttocks had burst and was bleeding.
“Just say you lost.”
“… Shut up.”
Aria chewed her lips and rushed towards Siron again.
Bwaaak, bam, bwaaak-!!
The sound of one-sided violence echoes across the parade ground.
The soldiers who had been quietly observing Ardella watched.
At the command of their superior, the eyes of the knights observing the sparring deepened.
Extremely one-sided violence.
The short shadow suddenly became longer.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
But no one left the room.
Ardella, who was watching it all, said.
“Are you not going out?”
Her younger daughter Arua, who was standing next to her, shook her head.
“Arya hasn’t given up yet.”
“… Okay.”
Ardella closed her mouth again.
Siron spoke to Aria, who was staggering as if she would collapse at any moment.
“Why don’t you stop giving up?”
“…”
Aria didn’t answer.
No, she couldn’t answer.
It was to hold on a little longer with the strength to flutter her mouth.
Aria walks slowly, dragging her feet on the floor, not even having the strength to lift her sword.
The ridicule hanging from Siron’s mouth has long since been erased.
Toouk.
The sword hit her thigh helplessly.
Siron looked down at Aria who came right in front of her and raised her sword as if she was complaining.
Exactly five times.
Siron pulled away from Arya’s body. And then he kicked her exposed butt again.
Aria fell to the floor unable to overcome the shock as her eyes fluttered shut.
But that lasts only a moment.
Aria raises her body again with her trembling arms and uses her sword as a walking stick.
Thump, thud.
A few transparent water droplets fell below it.
Siron looked at the stained floor for a moment and then looked away.
Ardella still did not take her eyes off her sister Arya.
‘Fuck… ‘How long do I have to do this?’
At first, she was tormented with some ill will because of yesterday’s incident. But that only happens once or twice.
If it was violence inflicted on really weak guys, I might have enjoyed it enough. But the guy in front of her wasn’t like that.
Judging from what I heard from Ardella and what I saw in person today, the girl named Aria is just a bit of a bitch who acts ahead of her thoughts.
Siron judged that Aria was just that kind of girl.
Aria turned around again.
Her wide-open eyes were still full of venom.
Siron clicked her tongue as she saw the tears welling up and flowing down under her eyes.
‘Fuck. Okay. Let’s see how much longer you can hold out.’
Aria staggered and approached Shiron again, and the cruel sounds of violence began to echo in her parade ground once again.
**
The sky darkened.
Ardella entered the torch-lit parade ground.
She bent her knees towards her youngest child, Arya, who had fallen to the floor and carefully lifted her up into her arms.
“Good job.”
“I’ll never do something like this again. “Fuck.”
“Okay.”
Ardella smiled slightly at Shiron, whose face was scrunched up.
Her face shines even brighter in the moonlight.
Her smile was truly beautiful, even for a woman like her, but Siron only furrowed his eyebrows even more fiercely.
The sparring started early in the morning and ended only after the sun had set and the moon had risen.
The reason was that Aria, who had endured until the end despite falling down several times and shedding tears, eventually collapsed because her stamina was exhausted.
If she had any stamina left, the sparring would have been even longer than it is now.
Siron said, glaring at Aria, who was in Ardella’s arms, with her weary eyes.
“I think it’s someone’s younger brother. Stubbornness is really…”
“You are my younger brother too.”
“… What.”
Siron blushed and passed by Ardella.
“Tell Smith he’ll be a little late.”
“Joy.”
Shiron waved her hand back despite her snoring.
It was a sign that he understood.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“… Yes.”
Siron, who had come to where Cernax was, bowed briefly towards Arua, who suddenly bowed her head towards him.
Arua received Siron’s nod and headed to the parade ground.
Siron, who watched the scene for a moment, turned again and Kernax followed next to him.
“Good job.”
“Fuck… I’ll never do it again, really.”
“That’s what I said I would do.”
Siron stopped walking. And then pack her head! I turned and glared at Kernax.
“You’re the worst, you bitch. “You knew this would happen, right?”
“Well, since I inherited the lord’s blood, I expected it to some extent.”
“Ha…”
It was definitely a time to get annoyed, but since this incident was done voluntarily, Siron couldn’t even get angry and turned around again and started moving his feet.
After walking in silence for a while, Siron opened his mouth.
“She looked young, but she was definitely the older sister or the younger brother.”
Kernax, who was following the unexpected compliment, blinked for a moment.
Then he smiled and answered.
“You are younger than me. Siron.”
“… What?”
Siron stopped again.
Kernax said, standing next to her.
“Aria is twenty-four this year. Arua is twenty-five years old. “In comparison, aren’t you twenty-two now?”
“…”
Siron’s face distorted.
“This is absurd.”
She says with that face she is older than she is.
Cernax, who was observing Siron’s bewildered expression, quietly spoke to her.
“By the way, Siron.”
“… What.”
In response to her sharp response, Cernax coughed awkwardly and continued her words.
“In terms of age… “I am older than Ardella.”
“… ?”
Siron’s head tilted crookedly.
Cernax was quietly avoiding her gaze.
“It’s not that it has any other meaning, but I said it because I thought you might not know.”
She moved quickly on her feet and passed her siron.
Siron looked offended as she glared at Cernax’s back and then she said as she got behind her.
“Do you want to hear me talk about you?”
“… “You said you were just saying it.”
“That’s terrible.”
Siron stood next to Cernax and snorted.
Cernax blushed and she quickened her pace even more.
But Siron, who had been following her, suddenly stopped walking.
Cernax hesitated for a moment, but did not stop walking.
That was when the distance widened a little.
“Sister.”
Stand tall –
Cernax’s legs froze as if under her spell.
Shiron, who had disappeared next to her, passed by.
“Why are you standing there blankly?”
Shiron grinned and slowly walked forward.
But Kernax saw.
Siron’s red ears were revealed through hair that briefly blew in the wind.
Kernax sat next to Siron with a rare, pleasant smile.
“Cut something to make you feel bad.”
“That’s right.”
Siron furrowed his brows. But she didn’t respond.
The two of them quietly headed towards Naejeong.
When we got closer to the inner room, Siron opened his mouth again.
“I did your favor, so please do me a favor too.”
“Sure.”
Cernax smiled and nodded, with the heart of an older sister accepting her younger sibling’s complaints.
“Give one step-“
“Shiron.”
The warm atmosphere quickly turned cold.
Kernax spoke to Siron with a very serious expression.
“Let’s keep the line.”
