Chapter 43: Rarashik’s Ability115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTWx6MUiE2

“That aside, what did you really want to talk to me about?” (Rarashik)

Rarashik said as she tilted her head and looked at the three of them while she settled into a chair.

“You guys came here to hear about the war. However, that’s not all you’re here for, right?” (Rarashik)

“Aa. Actually, I have favor to ask.” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXUmkdOTiN

“Favor? What is it?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQTnLI3GBB

“It’s about this girl here…” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyazDxHYML
Arnold placed his hand on top of Muir’s head.

“Her name is Muir, right? What’s on your mind?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU94LPYCqr

“I want you to be her mentor.” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcxBVz2WV3

“Eh-?” (Muir)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqCYbnVZg
Muir exclaimed her surprise. This was not because she was opposed to the idea, but because she never even dreamed that she would be taught by Arnold’s master.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQSUn2bVB

“Nah, it looks like a pain.” (Rarashi)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUV5htc5C7

Muir’s shoulders drooped the moment Rarashik rejected it.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD6RAkOFFW

“How could you, master!? I’m begging you! We struggled so much to get you the honey. The honey that you love. The honey to make your alcohol…”115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbWvISDNqq

“Well. This and that are completely unrelated. First of all, you ignored my orders and left. Then you suddenly come back with a child in tow. And now, you want me to take care of that child!? You’ve gotta be kidding me!?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmXLBXUWkQ

Arnorld was unable to refute her argument. Everything she said was undeniably true. Nonetheless, with her ability and guidance, it was clear that Muir would grow up to be strong under her care.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Epk9FXUh

“I was young and adventurous then… I mainly wanted to test my strength.” (Arnold)

“That’s what I expected you to say. You’re still a greenhorn, afterall.” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS7gNBNdQV

“E-even if I look like this, I’ve become a bit stronger, you know! Go ahead and see for yourself!” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9780V4Wg

“Hou~?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0We37BqXq

Rarashik’s eyes lit up instantly. Feeling an uncomfortable atmosphere coming from her, Arnold started panicking.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6D43cfF5

“I’ll accept under one condition.” (Rarashik)

“C-condition…you say?” (Arnold)

“Aa. Spar with me. If you can touch me during the spar, even if it’s just a graze, then I’ll take up your request.”

“Just…a graze?” (Arnold)

“Aa, of course, it goes without saying that I’ll be given a handicap.” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTV7FUNzJT

Hearing that, Arnold thought that if he tried his best, he believed that he could honestly touch her. However, his hopes were betrayed when Rarashik continued her explanation.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PeuQc3zuk

“However, the one who’ll be participating will only be Muir.” (Rarashik)

“…pardon?” (Muir)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduIbIVxXmz

“You got it? She gets 3 days. I’ll give the little miss the right to spar against me for 3 days. I don’t care about the method. If her fingertips can even graze me, she will be declared the victor.” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5H16aUnyQ

“Y-yes!” Muir115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uqRn7VWbv

At the moment, they were currently in a room within the basement. A basement where monsters and creatures of all kinds were brought in for experimentation. It clearly had more than enough space and durability to withstand a simple spar.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowYzQrZnm7

(The space closely resembles that of a small gym, huh…To top it off, it’s a basement. To be able to make something like this, that chibi-usagi really has a lot of free time on her hands…)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ55pwlZx9i

Hiiro folded his arms as he examined the room with admiration. He determined that it must have taken a very long time to build something like this.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbipHJv3PfH

“Uu, do you think Muir’s gonna be ok…?” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30LSmEfTzI

It seemed that Arnold was the most worried about the situation. When Rarashik presented her condition, Arnold was puzzled and unsure what to do. The person who responded immediately to the challenge, however, was Muir.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt7xsJmNwJ

It went without saying that Muir’s response was “Please let me do it!” Obviously, Arnold was surprised, but Rarashik seemed to also be taken aback. Seeing the weak and frail Muir displaying such bold determination would surprise anybody.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnPIJvh4b

Rarashik, however, simply smirked at her response as she motioned everyone to follow her.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuTbVIKlt

Rarashik’s strength was overwhelmingly clear. Even with a handicap, it seemed unfathomable for Muir, who just became a novice fighter, to be able to even scratch an SSS ranker.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULL4dybk9P

Imagining a tattered Muir breaking down and bawling her eyes out, Arnold could not help but be concerned.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRjKEUYXpU

In contrast to Arnold, Hiiro thought that such a turn of events was quite interesting. Even though he had just been screwed around with by Rarashik, he was now able to slowly and carefully observe her movements. Objectively speaking, this would be a great opportunity observe her ability to see just what she is truly capable of.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqeNOXfVFR

“Well, little miss. In regards to the handicap, I will be deprived of any means of attacking. This means that I won’t be using my hands and my <<Binding>> skill will be restricted. Feel free to attack me all you want.” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy77aSbuow

With this kind of a handicap, Arnold or Hiiro might have been able to do something. However, for Muir, the level gap was despairingly large. And even without taking level into consideration, the difference in their combat experience would be like the measuring the distance between the ground and the sky.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6GdnKCRBw

“Muir…” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G3C5mb7rg

“Well, all we can do is just see how this plays out.” (Hiiro)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BaYJeBjCf

As the two were watching, the game known as sparring had begun between Muir and Rarashik.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpLE82YNzZ

“Eei!” (Muir)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOPyXtdvHd

Muir honestly rushed towards Rarashik. However, as expected, she had missed. The moment Muir drew close enough to hit, Rarashik immediately vanished. Reappearing behind her without anyone noticing, she laughed.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGywTunbZR

“Ha ha ha, little miss, you’re gonna make me sweat at least a little bit, right?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhrwvLc2KV

Those words seemed to flip a switch within Muir. She also had the blood of the Gabranth running through her veins. She was not one who would simply accept being made fun of on the battlefield.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0kUyVtkxl

“I’ll definitely get you!” (Muir)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAMjOXQVgP

However, no matter how much Muir dived towards Rarashik, it seemed pointless. Rarashik seemed to purposely wait until Muir drew close, waiting for the point where she would almost touch her. Immediately following, before that moment would classify as a ‘touch’, Rarashik would vanish and reappear in a completely different place.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3d6G37Z0T

This spectacle continued itself over and over. Muir rushed in countless number of time but each time Rarashik would do the same thing as if she was just playing with her. Eventually, Muir’s shoulders drooped.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI95fgNNjKr

“Hah, hah, hah…” (Muir) (E: Panting.)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPt73Ka1V9

“What, you done already?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hu7bvrNDn

Muir continued intently, as if she was trying to grab onto a cloud. Muir was sweating profusely, her entire body being drenched in sweat, The climate of the basement may have partly contributed to her unfortunate state.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cGtF6hOAZ

“Poor Muir…” (Arnold)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpTN1Ffq0G

Arnold stared anxiously.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Q6gdzroa

(As expected of the chibi-usagi. Even while moving around to such an extent, she’s not even breaking a sweat. On the contrary, her smile has never faltered even once.)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKLGaBmYvP

The fact that Rarashik was enjoying herself so thoroughly that she was grinning wholeheartedly meant that she had a substantial margin for error. Being unable to even wipe that smile off of her face, it seemed that Muir’s chance of winning was nonexistent.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMrjZcYzVt

(Hn? Actually, this is great timing. Now would be the perfect opportunity to investigate her stats…)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgbTCg626m

Thinking this, Hiiro wrote the word <<Pry>> and activated it. He didn’t have a chance to try it before, however, now he was free to do so.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BNRFEqAHC

Thus, Hiiro opened Rarashik’s <<Status>> screen. The moment it appeared, he was startled by what he saw.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw53EbbmFm

<<Binding Type>> Ice115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwKZWAWjz7

(TL: I’ll need help here to come up with viable names)

Hiiro was dumbfounded. The level difference was clearly overwhelming. Lining up all of the numbers of her stats, it was easy to see that she had optimized her stats to be fairly balanced.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVPsONI4G1

(Her stats exceed mine by over 100, huh…so these are the stats of an SSS ranker…it certainly is one heck of a surprise.)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGZY2yhV3

He wasn’t expecting her level to be this high. However, looking at those numbers, Hiiro took comfort in the fact that he was overwhelmed by her earlier.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzG6OSZfnw

(However…I kind of expected her to have it, the title of “Little Girl”…)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjJ8FJRqzN

Although he was aware that Rarashik hated being called that, no matter how he looked at her, the title of “Little Girl” was the one that seemed the most fitting.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpnInO2do

(But looking at these numbers, isn’t this a bit too harsh for the chibi…)

(E: Hiiro’s referring to Muir. He uses chibi when referring to her. If you don’t know what chibi means, go Google it?)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6M4EgMVYO

Contemplating such thoughts in his mind, Hiiro continued to watch the two sparring. With this difference of ability, unless something unexpected occurred, Muir had no chance of winning.

Muir herself had started to take notice of the lack of progress. Needless to say, it was taking its toll on her spirit.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NRKIoRENK

(S-she’s fast…compared to Ojisan or Hiiro, she’s faster…)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l8jCYtJdd

Muir could somehow follow her movements, however, her body was unable to react quickly enough. Even though she had suddenly leveled up substantially, she felt that she was unable to grasp to what extent her physical ability had grown.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR3gLY7ZNk

(She’ll keep avoiding me if I just rush in blindly..if I could just use the <<Binding>> skill from that time…)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNtaaFMwCe

After seeing the images from Hiiro’s <<Projection>> she was able to see what had occurred at that time. She saw herself using that skill. She was sure that she would be able to do something if she could freely use that skill. However, after looking at the <<Projection>> of herself using the ability, she still didn’t believe that she was that the one that triggered the skill. This prevented her from activating that ability.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV62tWDJWQ

(Ojisan told me about it before. That <<Binding>> is actually the power of belief…however, do I really have that kind of power inside of me?)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsCpYUnfV5

She tried to use <<Binding>> skill several times before, yet, each time was devoid of any response. In the first place, since Muir had not been told how in any great detail how to invoke the skill, she had absolutely no idea how to apply it, let alone use it.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW69a94QC5

“C’mon, hurry up and catch me. Or what, are you giving up?” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8iTolALk

At those words, Muir forced strength into her gaze.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRsKLyrOOR

“I-I won’t give up!” (Muir)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDN1N92De8

Placing strength into her legs once more, she rushed towards Rarashik.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCndXjnN31

“That’s the way! Come at me! If you don’t even reach out your hands, you’ll never be able to grasp at what you’re trying to catch!” (Rarashik)115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5SyIUam1X

“Taaaaaaaa~” (Muir)
