“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR4ESBdRca

“Favor? What is it?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAgDou2zSn

“It’s about this girl here…” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSmUSHWHCH
Arnold placed his hand on top of Muir’s head.

“Her name is Muir, right? What’s on your mind?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ5uWm03Dn

“I want you to be her mentor.” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DZir8DPlF

“Eh-?” (Muir)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sUlnZA4Mb
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6Vs13Fa4

“Nah, it looks like a pain.” (Rarashi)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlVNqX3TD

Muir’s shoulders drooped the moment Rarashik rejected it.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJAicqwl5

“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…”117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgDnHkyBJh

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp61W3ferNU

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqer5jjQcsV

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QZKDEubs

“E-even if I look like this, I’ve become a bit stronger, you know! Go ahead and see for yourself!” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsq4tDd4WP

“Hou~?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx8pqw94C8

Rarashik’s eyes lit up instantly. Feeling an uncomfortable atmosphere coming from her, Arnold started panicking.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKRSGpaZt2

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnxESuu5tD

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsyuPNg48h

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

“…pardon?” (Muir)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpuuXtlKZn

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlcm9m2ciM

“Y-yes!” Muir117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9lRPjGrYa

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6YwDLy8P

(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…)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FvjPN21R

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibo68TwwGG

“Uu, do you think Muir’s gonna be ok…?” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuwZ3ekyD7

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafaQDtYTNA

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOJHLtD3iZ

Rarashik, however, simply smirked at her response as she motioned everyone to follow her.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWehsd3VUyD

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCw842QZoQ

Imagining a tattered Muir breaking down and bawling her eyes out, Arnold could not help but be concerned.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbruy7NjV2N

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPziVdVl5y

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14JY5nqDww

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJOZEWldU9

“Muir…” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8H3ntD3cB

“Well, all we can do is just see how this plays out.” (Hiiro)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdZ0Fwgh1P

As the two were watching, the game known as sparring had begun between Muir and Rarashik.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDNsUalYX3

“Eei!” (Muir)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiDN6HUl92

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQ1W8sGlG

“Ha ha ha, little miss, you’re gonna make me sweat at least a little bit, right?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZunPHIQXkk

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMaIV31vDu

“I’ll definitely get you!” (Muir)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcbobCQ1xq

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPwkLHuqQO

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1AIf0g3KU

“Hah, hah, hah…” (Muir) (E: Panting.)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3KufJf9j

“What, you done already?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAG6Rp1dHz

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ0CckvCcz

“Poor Muir…” (Arnold)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJr0e88hyR

Arnold stared anxiously.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhsSvkc3m

(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.)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzN9KL4Gy2

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QCP0Z9MLb

(Hn? Actually, this is great timing. Now would be the perfect opportunity to investigate her stats…)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei40wZI0lb

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DWqPdgFeP

Thus, Hiiro opened Rarashik’s <<Status>> screen. The moment it appeared, he was startled by what he saw.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXulGt0EzXc

<<Binding Type>> Ice117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAftwfyBtZ

(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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK09f7oMCA

(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.)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4XQhhrNUE

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdwn27mTYO

(However…I kind of expected her to have it, the title of “Little Girl”…)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk3zprmX60

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk0SnBCmeF

(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?)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp9xbdvlZa

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfjoR8JdL

(S-she’s fast…compared to Ojisan or Hiiro, she’s faster…)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcar7GGAM

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkpQG84ZH

(She’ll keep avoiding me if I just rush in blindly..if I could just use the <<Binding>> skill from that time…)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1pHvf5BTp

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f2vfrb2ce

(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?)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvR3MK855S

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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOopl5uc2j

“C’mon, hurry up and catch me. Or what, are you giving up?” (Rarashik)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi7XEH4IHW

At those words, Muir forced strength into her gaze.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWxGtgYM2E

“I-I won’t give up!” (Muir)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEntqB9wazN

Placing strength into her legs once more, she rushed towards Rarashik.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzTYOZgO8I

“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)117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lMAIrvnyj

“Taaaaaaaa~” (Muir)
