“No way! A titan? Why here?” the girl which was slowly wearing her dress said. Although she was wearing her dress very fast she was still not done. Her uniform buttons were undone on her upper body, and even her underwear was exposed. Since her body was bent, her bosom was also completely visible.
Her healthy and flexible legs were nimbly stretching on her toes, and drawing his gaze, shining between her thighs, was lovely, pure white underwear.
It was a scene where a man especially if it was an average guy, they would get swoon over her and without a doubt be fascinated and even lust her.
“Titan?”
But the one in front of her eyes weren’t an ordinary man.
“What, you don’t know about them?” the girl was shocked as she looks at him as if seeing an impossible thing. Irritated by her expression, Lyle said
“What about it? hmph! I know some of it, but it is different from what you know!”
What Lyle was referring to, was his knowledge that came from his past world but here, he haven’t have the slightest clue about it. He hasn’t read any book about titans in the palace so it’s natural that he doesn’t know it.
“Ah right, it seems you’re not a student of the academy so maybe that’s why you don’t about it. people outside of the academy city is forbidden to talk about it, but it was part of the world’s history so the school was allowed to teach it” the girl said while wearing her dress properly. It seems she put aside what happened a while ago to face the current situation.
“Titans are monsters directly serving the evil overlord. They are all very strong monsters. The lowest of the all was in A rank. They should be in the unexplored region
“Hooo! A rank huh! So what do you think is its rank?” Lyle calmly asked not even minding the situation they’re in.
“You--, no just how can you be so calm right now!” she was surprised how calm Lyle was. Hearing this, Lyle just shrugged his shoulder while smiling wryly. “*sigh* I give up, judging from its appearance, it is a
“I see, so we are in a very grave situation right now? Hahaha this forest is really interesting!” Lyle was laughing very hard as though he was pleased with the situation. Seeing this, the girl was baffle by his reaction but still collected her thoughts. Then
““GroooooaaaarrrrrrrrRRRRRR! I SMASH!!!””
The titan seemed to notice them and were heading at their way. The girl who was finished dressing was now undergoing panic. Cold sweat shedding in her body.
“Run now I’ll cover you!” she shouted towards Lyle.
“Eh? Why? Can’t we defeat it?”
“Idiot! Although I don’t how you deflect my attack just now, but I don’t think you can defeat it! I’m a B-rank mage so I can only hold it for a very short time! So now go!”
“hm? I see okay! Bye!” Lyle said calmly while turning around.
“Eeh!?”
Calm response from Lyle resulted in silence. With an expression as if she doesn’t understand what was said, the girl opened her mouth with a stupid expression and stared intently at him. Then Lyle who already gave a response started walking.
“Wa, wa, wait! Why! No matter what, if you think about it, under this situation, the flow should be followed by you saying ‘no wait, I’m a man so I will be the one to fight them and hold them off!’ with a reliable smile and in the end we both fight them together or something like that you know! As expected I also think it should be like that! Then why! What’s with that nonchalant response? Aren’t you going to show off trying to make me fall in love? Then why?”
Her protest was ignored by Lyle who just shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly. From serious and serene atmosphere a while ago was replaced by a RomCom atmosphere.
“*sigh* didn’t you say that you will fight alone? In the first place I don’t know you, why would I help you? And just as you can see I’m just another ordinary man how do you think I can fight it right now? And you, don’t you think you’ve read too much fairytales?”
The girl was dumbfounded when he heard what Lyle said. She turns around and faced the titan
“Wha! And you still call yourself a human!?F-fine! Go away! I don’t need you in the first place! I can handle it”
“Okay! Bye” with a nonchalant expression, Lyle said while he jumped off and left.
The girl gritted her teeth and curse Lyle under her breath. Seeing that the titan has already arrived, she stepped back and raised her arm and casted a spell.
“Hear me oh great thunder god, bestow thy power to slain thy enemy in front of me and bestow thy wrath to those who are wicked
Lightning strike down the monster. It was more destructible than what she used to attack Lyle just a while ago. But the titan only smirked after getting hit by it. The titan swings its club towards the girl, fortunately the vulnerable girl dodges it by hair’s length.
“As I thought, it has magic resistance! Then try eating this ‘Spear of the lightning God who governs the sky, strike down thy nemesis of thy servant. Upholds thy justice upon the powerless, and converge the judgment for those who are weak
Almost like thunder, the noise rumbled in with a slight delay. As a shockwave tore through the air, the titan’s sense of balance was partially destroyed after being hit. It staggered and glanced over its shoulder. There a lightning-like sphere was struck on it.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The instant the orange light struck the titan’s shoulder, the trees was blown away like an airplane making an emergency landing on the ocean. Even after passing, the orange afterglow was still burning the air like an afterimage.
But it wasn’t enough, the sphere only dealt a little bit of damage towards the titan. It was now mad and growling in anger
“GroooooaaarrrRRR!!! I! SMASH! KILL! TINY!”
The situation seems to be dire, fear envelope on the girl’s body.
“I was careless, wasn’t I?” the girl thought to herself as she had fallen to her knees. Feeling nothing but shame over her own immaturity, she thought she might be able to defeat it because it’s only one monster. But now, her mana was on the verge of being depleted. The spell she just used was her strongest attack spell but still it wasn’t enough.
“So this is the power of an S-rank monster. Hahaha this doesn’t look like a monster that could be defeated by just few dozen A-rank, and now I’m fighting it alone while still being a B-rank? This is really suicide, isn’t it?” the girl thought to herself. “Now, I understand why he chooses to escape than to fight! Hahaha It would seem that I still have a long ways to go,” she thought.
She was probably being too hasty. She was admired by everyone in the academy and was hailed as a genius. A fourteen year old girl was a B-rank mage! But because of this maybe she was gotten full of her and overestimated herself. She didn’t assess the situation properly and underestimated the S-rank monsters. But she was regretting it, she now knows the power gap between her and an S-rank was like heaven and earth.
‘Genius huh?’ she mused.
But unbeknownst to her, the man who she met just a while ago was more of an incomprehensible existence. If she was hailed as a genius by being a B ranker in such a young age, then what about Lyle who reached C ranker when he was just five years old? And now he was only 12 years old and A ranker to boot! Genius is but an understatement.
The
“Damn. I cannot afford to die in a place like this!” said the girl as she gritted her Teeth and cursed her own powerlessness, “If I die now, I would lose everything I worked hard to get!”
Having lost all hope she closed her eyes and waited for the club to come. But then…
‘wooosh’
The attack never came; instead she felt she was floating in the air.
“Oi!” a voice called her. She opened her eyes and there, she saw a familiar figure carrying her in a princess-style.
“Y-you!?” the only words she could utter. She stared at the boy who was carrying her. His hair was black and although he had a slender build she did not think him scrawny and then noticed his body had some slight musculature to it. The boy’s face was like that of a girl. He was wearing a shirt composed of black and red colored linings with black and red line coat.
“Why are you still here? Didn’t you already escape?” the girl demanded. Though she was a little bit happy because he came back and save her, she just wanted to hide it by asking.
“hm? Did I say that I will escape?” the boy then said. “I just went there and meditate to regain my lost mana you know!”
“Regain?” the girl ask not understanding what he meant.
“Well, never mind!” he said while he carefully and gently put her down. “Now then, what should I do?”
Watching Lyle’s calm demeanor while looking at the titan, the girl became restless and said
“Why are we stopping? Don’t you see that monster’s power! Even I, a B-rank mage can’t even defeat it! We should run now before it’s too late! Hey, are you listening!”
“Well, just calm down okay! You’ll ruin your beautiful face you know! A girl should be calm, cool and collected!”
“What the hell are you saying under this dangerous situation!?”
The girl looked at the titan approaching them and started complaining. However, not minding the girl’s frantic voice and complaints, Lyle submerged on his thoughts. Then suddenly as he thought of something good, he smiled mischievously and stared at the two titans.
“Don’t worry, just wait there and cool your head. I have thought of something I really wanted to do! Ahahahahaha”
“What are you planning to do?”She asked, bewildered.
“Nothing in particular, it’s just that, it’s one of the ‘must-do’ lists if you’re a real otaku!”
“Otaku?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Lyle calmly walked without caring of his surroundings. Standing still, he step his left leg forward. He slightly bent his whole body while his left hand together with his right arm was clutching together in his right side. He compressed mana in his both hands while shouting
“KA, ME, HA, ME, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
