Translator: True Detective
Chapter 11. Seven Wild Monsters and the Great Warrior
Whether Donota was acting up or not, Elise didn't particularly care.
Seeing the barbarians here, it wasn't just once or twice they acted up.
The moment she tried to lightly ignore him and step back, Donota spoke.
“Kuhahahaha! It was fun. Very fun! Because your body is still weak, you cannot receive much!”
At the same time vitality circulated in his eyes, Donota continued speaking.
“Of course, I do not wait. I have no intention to wait either! If you clash with me and break, it means you were only of that level.”
His blazing pupils meet Elise’s red eyes.
“How, could you endure it.”
At that question, Elise rather asked back.
“That’s what I want to say. You, can you endure it?”
“What? Kuhahahahahaha!!!”
Donota showed a satisfied smile and twirled the iron club he was holding.
Donota, resting the club on his shoulder, spoke to Elise with a smile full of expectation.
“I will look forward to it! Elise Blaze! Warrior of the North!”
Along with that, Donota confidently turns around and walks away.
What is that.
What is he going to do if he gets hit in the back of the head doing that.
He said he knew chivalry a little, but it seems he is only full of bravado.
‘…For now, my body isn't normal either right now.’
It's right to ignore him.
The other Seven Wolves will take care of it.
“Lord Hugo.”
“Yes? Young Lady?”
“I leave the aftermath to you.”
Along with that, Elise’s head dropped down limply.
“Oh no! Young Lady! Young Lady!!!”
Hugo hurriedly shook Elise, but Elise's consciousness had already disappeared.
***
“…Ah.”
Elise opened her eyes.
Her red eyes roll around here and there.
“It’s a room.”
The place where she came to her senses is the castle of the Northern Grand Duke.
Fortunately, it seems she wasn't dragged away by the barbarians.
Elise carefully lifted her arm and checked.
Bandages are wrapped around it.
That’s not all.
Bandages are wrapped all over her body.
Seeing as there are no splints, they must have called a priest or poured plenty of potions to fix the cracked bones.
Phew—.
The moment Elise sighed, someone opened the door.
“Miss. I will change your bandag…. Miss!”
“Luna.”
Elise leans against the pillow and barely waves her hand.
“No! Miss! How is your mind! Wait a moment! I will call the priest!”
“Luna…!”
“…Yes? Yes! Miss!”
The maid Luna, who was about to run hurriedly, approached Elise and quietly listened to her words.
“Feed me some water. My throat is so dry.”
“Ah! Yes! Miss!”
Luna, who carefully poured water into a glass, put the water to Elise's mouth and let her drink.
The moment Elise drank a whopping 5 glasses.
“…Done. It’s fine. Now.”
“That’s a relief. Miss. Then I will hurry and bring the priest….”
“No. Wait a moment.”
“…Yes?”
“Will you just tell me how this battle ended before going? Luna?”
“Ah!”
Luna grabbed her head with two hands for a moment, then spoke to Elise as if she soon remembered.
“Ah! I heard this battle ended without major casualties.”
“Were there any special occurrences?”
“Yees…. Probably you getting hurt was the biggest incident, Miss.”
“…Really?”
“Yes!”
“Okay. I understand. Luna. Go and call some people.”
“Yees!”
Saying so, Luna ran out immediately.
And a little later.
“…There are no abnormalities in the body. The treatment went well.”
Along with the priest's guarantee, Elise was declared fully recovered.
“…Phew. Really. Since we brought the priest who is scarce in the North. And the Bishop of the Deltarch Grand Duchy at that. Of course you should be perfectly fine.”
“Thank you. Your Highness.”
“It's a relief you are perfectly fine. Good heavens. I told you not to fight Nagagor. To fight another Seven Wild Monster this time.”
“…That is. The Seven Wild Monster Donota rather rushed at me. Saying it's a duel request.”
“This damn it. What I was concerned about happened.”
Hoo—.
Grand Duke Gayrad Deltarch sighed without realizing it.
He had a feeling.
Facing Nagagor was also quite troublesome.
So he attached Hugo, a member of the Seven Wolves, in case the Seven Wild Monsters rushed in.
Certainly, according to what he was reported.
“To think the Seven Wild Monsters realized the Young Lady is an important figure.”
“Yes. Your Highness. Perhaps that is why three Seven Wild Monsters gathered.”
“There must be that too. Along with that, the Young Lady's skill being good would also be included in the reasons. It's a difficult problem…. It would be good to observe the situation for now. I understand. Rest well. Young Lady.”
The moment the Northern Grand Duke Gayrad Deltarch's words ended.
Three people.
To be exact, the three siblings of the Deltarch Grand Ducal House approached.
“Young Lady! Are you okay, Young Lady?”
“She was running wild like crazy when fighting me. Tsk.”
The youngest of the Grand Ducal House, Ravia Deltarch.
And the second son, Yuric Deltarch.
And….
“Young Lady. Young Lady!”
Question marks popped up above the heads of everyone in this place.
Hardger Deltarch.
The eldest son and successor of the Deltarch Grand Ducal House, he had before anyone knew it grabbed Elise's hand while even kneeling in front of the bed.
“Young Lady. Are you okay.”
“…Yes?”
The moment Elise's two eyes widened.
“…Brother?”
“Brother?”
Along with that, absurdity is tinted in the gazes of Yuric and Ravia as well.
Only then noticing his action, Hardger scratched the back of his head feeling awkward.
“Ah. That is. That is…. Because I was worried. As the Young Lady is a precious guest of our Grand Ducal House.”
“You were too active for that. Brother.”
“…Brother. Seriously, what's wrong with you? A person who was taciturn every day?”
“Ah. That is. Uh. Ravia. That is to say.”
Even while Hardger was awkwardly waving one hand in denial, he was not letting go of the remaining hand.
Elise, who watched that appearance for a moment, opened her mouth.
“Excuse me.”
“…Yes? Yes! Young Lady!”
“Thank you. Lord Hardger. For worrying.”
“Ah. Yes! Young Lady!”
The moment Hardger's mouth immediately went up.
Those in this place read each other's faces.
Don't tell me. Don't tell me?
“…Brother. Don't tell me.”
Ravia looked at Hardger with an absurd expression, her mouth wide open, and.
“No, good heavens. What did I just see.”
That wastrel Yuric was startled, putting his hand in his mouth as if he had seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, Elise spoke to Hardger without harboring any special emotion.
“Young Lord. Your hand.”
“Ah. Yes! Young Lady.”
“Thank you again for worrying.”
“Yes! Young Lady. Perhaps, if it is not rude, could we compete for one move again next time….”
“If my body becomes perfectly fine. As much as you like.”
“Thank you. Young Lady.”
While Hardger backed away blushing slightly, Yuric and Ravia looked at Hardger with absurd expressions.
“…What. You guys.”
“…Brother. Did I see correctly just now?”
“Good heavens. What did I see.”
“Please be quiet….”
While the three siblings were saying something, Grand Duke Gayrad looked alternately at Hardger and Elise, his expression broken, which was rare to see.
The moment even Elise looked strangely at that appearance.
“…Hardger Deltarch. No. Phew. Hardger.”
“Yes! Father.”
“I won't help you.”
“…Yes?”
“How much Duke Denar Blaze of the Blaze Ducal House cherishes his youngest daughter…. Phew. Hardger. Anyway, I won't help you.”
“Father!”
While the comic talk between father and son continued, Elise talked with Ravia who had approached before she knew it.
“Young Lady. Young Lady.”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“Do you want to be friends?”
“…Yes?”
“We are the same age….”
Ravia, who approached to somehow repay the grace of salvation, was slightly flustered but soon smiled.
“…As much as you like.”
“Wow!”
Their conversation continued.
***
While Elise was talking with the people of the Northern Grand Ducal House for a long time.
The frozen earth of the North where barbarians are.
To be exact, they converse under this tent where numerous barbarian tribes are gathered.
“Nagagor wasn't beaten for nothing…. Pfft! Kuhahahahahaha!!!”
“Shut up! Donota!”
Nagagor threw the wooden cup he was holding, but Donota laughed heartily and knocked the cup away.
“Kuhahahahahaha! It's a joke! Nagagor! That woman! She was quite amazing!”
Donota showed his right arm and tapped it with his finger.
His right arm was wrapped in bandages, but Donota immediately ripped the bandages off and showed the split right arm.
“Look at this. Nagagor. That woman engraved this on me. She showed quite some promise! Kuhahaha!!!”
At Donota's words, Nagagor needlessly looks at the bandages tied all over his body.
While the two were doing so, someone on one side revealed thick features and chuckled.
“Heh. I also met her.”
Demonic Man Bachra.
He revealed healthy teeth and drank a cup of alcohol.
“Strong. Even just taking my fist, she was quite strong. A rookie appearing from the Empire after a long time!”
Bachra smiling while fully drunk on elation with his two arms spread.
Seeing that appearance, the warriors gathered in this place buzzed.
“…Bachra acknowledged her? A woman?”
“Huh. To think Bachra, who only viewed women like jewels, would acknowledge one as a warrior.”
“Hasn't such a case never happened except for other Seven Wild Monsters.”
While the barbarians were buzzing, someone frowned and put down their alcohol cup.
Thud!
“Bullshit. Bachra. You didn't even acknowledge me as a warrior until you got beaten by me.”
A corner of the Seven Wild Monsters, the muscular woman with long hair called Beheading Sword Rineta, looks at Bachra and shouts.
“Seems you took a fancy to that bitch in the meantime?”
“Do not be jealous. Rineta.”
“You're acting up.”
Pfft—.
Bachra smiled nonchalantly and spoke.
“If her two legs were standing perfectly fine even after getting hit by my fist. Isn't the story already over.”
“…That is a bit interesting. She got hit by your fist squarely?”
“I struck properly, but she parried it with her sword. A scary woman.”
“…This is a pity? It shouldn't have been handed over to Donota. I should have faced her?”
At Rineta's jealousy, the person next to her, Thunderbolt Hammer Greken laughed.
“Wahahahahaha!!! Rineta. I agree. I agree. You handed her over to Donota for nothing!”
While the two barbarians were feeling pity, there were those who were slightly alienated.
They were exactly the Seven Wild Monsters who hadn't met Elise.
“This is a pity….”
A man with long silver hair coming down to his shoulders.
Light Sword, Jeffrey.
He stroked the handles of the two swords at his waist and muttered.
“I want to try facing her too. Can I also see her next time?”
“A fight with Jeffrey would be fun too! Wahahahaha!!!”
“Greken. I want to see once too. I also acknowledge Bachra's speed. To see such a fist of Bachra and parry it with a sword. It would be fun.
Jeffrey, who said so, looked at the older man next to him.
His height was a little smaller than Bachra.
But the atmosphere was completely different.
If Bachra was hiding a hard rock in soft soil, this man was like a well-forged sword.
“Hey. Derac. What do you think.”
The man called Derac raised only the corners of his mouth while hardening his sharp eyes.
“Interesting. Next time, I will try visiting too.”
Derac.
A barbarian's name that makes warriors of the North grit their teeth.
Seven Wolves Killer. Wolf Hunter.
He, called so, was a barbarian who had killed a whopping 4 of the Northern warriors called Seven Wolves in the past.
The Northern Grand Duke Gayrad Deltarch was also someone who knew him well.
“Perhaps, it could be of help to you too. Ragna.”
Next to such Derac was a man with blonde hair mixed with ash color.
He still hadn't shed his youthful appearance, but the soul of a warrior reflected in his two eyes looked sharply forged.
Ragna.
The legendary Great Warrior who will defeat all the Seven Wild Monsters and become the Barbarian Great Warrior to invade the Empire in the future.
Also, the man who would eventually die after falling in love with the original protagonist, Alicia Shudroy.
***
“I must become stronger.”
Elise, who shook off the pain and came out a few days later, made up her mind.
That she must become stronger somehow.
She muttered while looking at the fruit the Northern Grand Duke, Gayrad Deltarch, gave for treatment purposes along with a reward.
“First, along with a full-scale internal energy cultivation method….”
Her eyes and brows narrow.
“Also fully initiate swordsmanship.”
She decided.
Let's move on to the next stage of the Six Harmonies Sword.
Meanwhile, there was a reason Elise was doing this.
[Going out to battle is forbidden for a while.]
Because the order of the Northern Grand Duke, Gayrad Deltarch, had fallen.
