Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 223: Sudden Change

Hinata stood up while looking at Reiner coldly.

There was no trace of tenderness in his eyes, it was completely buried by the color of humiliation.

「Hi-hinata-sama―― Are you okay? Can't you leave the matter to Masayuki-dono? 」

Nicholas called Hinata, but she did not respond.

Masayuki heard Nicholas' words, but he stiffened as if he was shocked

In Hinata's mouth, there was a small smile.

It was a terrifying smile, reminiscent of former Hinata.

「No, no problem. Correct… . . No problem . Everything as expected. 」

Rather than answering Nicholas, Hinata muttered instinctively to feel confident that what she thought was right.

Though it's true.

Hinata believed in his guess and agreed.

Correct . Hinata had seen it all up to this result.

In short, everything was as he had expected.

Even when he was tortured by Reiner, all were expected events.

In fact, lately Hinata has been attacked by a strong sense of deja vu.

He could see the scene from a few seconds to a few minutes ahead as if he had experienced it.

He experienced the same thing several times, he was sure that it was an experience somewhat later in the future.

This time luckily – although maybe not – she was tortured by Reiner, she could see the scene where she cut off her limbs and gouged out her eyes.

(As expected, it is difficult to restore a severed limb; although it is not funny if the face is injured ――)

That was Hinata's thinking.

Her face that was clean from unnatural injuries, it was not that Reiner was being easy on her, the correct answer was because Hinata had avoided all attacks.

As for his limbs, he usually received an attack, until his tendon was cut off.

He can do this and that because he knows the future.

So, Hinata's condition of victory was not to endure until the truth was revealed to the people, it was so that those who took refuge in the church were not harmed.

If he refused badly, the knights under Reiner's command would start attacking the church, it was one of the possible futures he saw.

(Is it because I'm connected to Chloe's soul? Besides, I don't think that's my ability.)

With terrifying accuracy, Hinata saw that fact.

Due to a small connection with Chloe, a fragment of Chloe's abilities has shown Hinata a future memory.

However, Hinata did not care about that.

The only thing that matters is the reality that produces the best results.

When things were going as Hinata planned, Reiner, the subject of ridicule was in front of him.

He was the man who tormented her until now, he did not have the slightest sympathy for her.

"All right then . Did you say your name was Reiner?

You want to fight me right. All right, I'll fight you seriously. 」

Hinata grew a smile full of kindness and looked at Reiner

However, his eyes were cold.

"Bad you! I'll kill you and that hero. I am the strongest, the result is clear.

I will slaughter everyone who knows about this matter! 」

Reiner shouted with a mind full of madness.

And then he raised his sword towards Hinata.

Without panicking, Hinata raised her rapier.

Unlike the one-sided torment some time ago, there was no need for him to hold back now.

He dodged the huge slash from Reiner's sword, and without hesitation, he stabbed his leg.

「Gyaaa 4 ______________」!

Reiner screamed.

Due to the intense pain, he recovered quite a bit from the taste.

(What, what the fuck is this—)

Reiner gnashed his teeth as he felt an abnormal pain.

He could not hide his confusion as Blockade『's 』Pain Perception skill that he had yet to show the effect.

The damage was no big deal, but there were no signs of injury.

「Ufufufu. Does it hurt? Raise your voice and comfort me again! 」

With an expression of ecstasy, Hinata moistened her lips with her bewitching tongue.

Nicholas and Fritz sent a hot look towards the current Hinata.

As expected, only Leonard was saddened by it.

「―― Hinata-sama ..... Your picture just improved with many problems, it is broken now――」

Of course, his image was pampered, but his movement gave rise to some enthusiastic fans.

It was perfect for Hinata.

It reminds people that the strong precede the weak.

Hinata begins to chase Reiner without showing any behavior caring about the responses from the surroundings.

Afraid of the attack that caused him great pain even if it was just grazing him, Reiner naturally fought in self-defense.

「You-you ! Luring a sword with magic is unfair. 」

Reiner accused foulmouthed.

However, Hinata only showed a smile, she did not respond to Reiner's accusations.

Because it was a fact, he did not intend to deny it. Moreover, enchanting his sword with magic was also not a bad reason.

His sword was a Unique-class Magic Sword.

Hinata's spiritual weaponry was transferred to Chloe without leaving anything behind, even if she borrowed a mass-produced type spiritual weapon earlier, she did not have enough power to activate it.

At that moment, this rapier was sent by Rimuru.

This is called Phantom Pain (Phantom Rainbow Spirit Sword).

It was a sword with abilities that could be said to be an upgraded version of the magic sword Hinata had used before.

Naturally, it was possible to use it to cause an opponent to die in a seventh attack like 『Dead End Rainbow』.

If it was a sword mark, it was to destroy the spiritual body on the seventh attack.

But, the sword given by Rimuru was terrifyingly capable of destroying even the astral body.

Originally it was a legend class weapon, but it had been adapted so that Hinata could use it.

(The previous one can not be compared with the performance of this one. Even I who lost my power can use it)

While slightly admiring him, Hinata was satisfied with his sword ability.

And then he narrowed his eyes and sent a cruel smile towards Reiner.

Right now, he had already hit Reiner with five strikes.

It was possible to kill him immediately in the next two attacks, but he thought it was uninteresting.

And, even in such situations this sword is useful.

「Alright, let's pack it right away. I'm tired of seeing your unpleasant face. 」

Saying to Reiner, Hinata raised her sword.

「Don't underestimate me, you female fox! I-it's impossible for me to be defeated by people like you! 」

Reiner shouted in a shrill voice as he swung his sword.

「Don't think I'd be so good and let you live because you're a woman―― Be minced meat! Slash Waves Behead Death! 」

The high-speed rotational force generated by Reiner's trained body was transmitted through the sword, the affected target would be destroyed.

Surely, someone who received it would turn into a piece of meat, it was the strongest attack Reiner could carry.

But–

「How naive. It's only from this level―― 」

Reiner's attack slipped through Hinata who was sneering.

It was Hinata's shadow.

Blood rose to Reiner's head as he fell to the novice trick Hinata used.

「Im-impossible!」

"Goodbye . Please die and feel eternal suffering in these three minutes. Dead End Pain !! 」

Reiner unintentionally sensed the true power of Hinata whom he took for granted as a weakling.

Coupled with the shock of his strongest attack being missed, he was unable to react to Hinata's attack.

Hinata's punch accurately penetrated Reiner's heart.

(Only so far! With 『My Recovery Body』, I can regenerate even liver――

And then, I will no longer forgive this woman. I'll kill you, you female fox!)

Reiner rebuked himself for being careless and vowed to kill Hinata seriously next time.

However ――

(Huh? What, why is the pain ..... ha?)

Reiner tried to activate 『former Body Recovery』 to recover the wounds he received, but his ability would not be active ……

Not only that skill, even the effects of the body control series skills like 『Blockade Pain』 『Physical Condition Control』 have also disappeared.

「Gugiyaooooo & _________」

Reiner gasped and wriggled in pain.

For a long time, Reiner felt no pain due to the effects of 『Block Perception Pain』, but now he feels great fear and suffering.

That's one of Hinata's weapons capabilities.

『Dead End Pain』 active at the time of the 6th attack.

After sealing the enemy's abilities, the total destruction effect of the spiritual body began after three minutes.

It was a terrifying ability that would not let enemies fall into madness and kill them while making them feel hopeless and sick.

Their mental pain was destroyed not physical pain.

A person who received this attack might feel three minutes as if it was forever.

"Good night . Have a good dream. 」

Hinata spoke softly like she was putting Reiner to sleep.

And then, Hinata looked at Reiner who was moaning in pain with a feeling of satisfaction.

(Oh well. The pain I have received, I have returned it ten thousand times.)

Satisfied, Hinata loses her interest in Reiner.

The pain was unrequited ten thousand times, but Hinata did not care much.

After all, that hopeless situation was avoided.

That's the most important thing than anything else.

However, no one tried to help him.

The soldiers instigated by Reiner and the prince were also unable to determine the correct course of action as they tried to make sense of the situation.

With the emergence of the hero Masayuki who is a folk hero, public opinion has moved away from Reiner and his comrades.

The prince's confession was decisive.

Being the guardians of the royal family was the duty of the Guardian Knights, but there was no reason for them to defend against murder.

In this place, there was no one who swore allegiance to Prince Elrick.

At the same time, there was clearly no truth in their leader, Reiner.

「A-what should we do now ......?」

The knights and soldiers trembled.

Looking at everyone at this moment, when the opportunity had arrived, Masayuki stood up.

"Everyone! Which side is right, and which side is wrong? I think it's obvious if you see this spectacle.

If you all are wise, you will all know the correct answer even if I do not say it—

Please, I want you all to believe in that answer. I want to believe in everyone too! 」

Actually, Masayuki was still hesitant.

His development was too fast, he did not pursue the situation.

However, his instinct told him that this was the greatest opportunity to lead people's opinions.

In order not to be his own opinion, he decided to persuade people with temporary words.

(It's perfect. Like this, even if I make a mistake, I will not be blamed.)

Masayuki praised himself in his mind.

「Ooh, Masayuki-sama trust us ....」

"What have we done!"

「If we have to meet Masayuki-sama――」 expectations

In response to Masayuki's words, the knights threw away their swords and knelt down.

Their actions showed that they had no hostility towards Masayuki.

Seeing such knights, a relieved mood began to flow through the people.

Lalu–

「Hero-sama seems to have straightened out the problem ....」.

「Prince has king――」

「But, luckily we have Hero Masayuki-sama!」

「Dalang is the Chief Knight, Reiner. 」

「It means, Hinata-sama is .....」

「But, it's Masayuki-sama who saw the truth and saved Hinata-sama from trouble !?」

「As expected of Hero-sama!」

In this way, of course, Masayuki's exploits have increased

It spread quickly among the people,

『MA ~ SAYUKII, MA ~~ SAYUKII !!』

It didn't take long for it to become an ordinary cheer.

Masayuki raised one hand awkwardly to respond to people while having stiff cheeks.

He had teary eyes in his mind.

However, it was a common occurrence as well.

After waiting for a quiet place, Hinata walked over to Masayuki.

And then he stretched out his right hand, and,

「I've been indebted to you. 」

So, he asked for a handshake from Masayuki.

Masayuki felt nervous as he looked at Hinata closely because of her beauty.

There were many beautiful women in Tempest, but Hinata's pretty face had a strange charm that was different from theirs.

Masayuki tried to answer Hinata's request and frantically rubbed his hand.

But–

When Masayuki is fascinated by Hinata, he stumbles across a pebble and like a skilled pantomime, he falls.

Result… . . .

He felt a soft sensation in his right hand.

And he felt the hair tickle his cheeks smoothly ……

The sweet aroma that made his mind stray me his nose.

(Why be like this ..).

Until the end of the show, Masayuki could not see reality for a moment.

(Or rather, this feeling in my right hand, it felt like touching a top quality pillow, impossible ..).

Correct .

Masayuki stumbled and just like that he pushed Hinata.

Carefully, his right hand fumbled over the plump Hinata.

Even so far, he's a lucky pervert.

However, it was Masayuki who was afraid that the result would be frightening.

When Masayuki tried to stand up and make excuses while his face turned pale ――

(Huh? What just ...).

Masayuki realized that something passed through his head.

He felt a shock as if something was passing through the back of his head.

(Oh! Where did I get denounced!?)

However, it was somewhat different from Masayuki's imagination.

Masayuki realized that it was a shockwave that came too late, not the attack.

In other words, the attack passed with a slight difference when Masayuki fell.

If Masayuki had not stumbled upon the pebble, his life would have been lost.

Ch Cih's. Impossible―― for you to avoid my murder !? 」

Someone appeared in front of Masayuki and the comrades, raising his astonished voice.

A man wearing black priestess clothes, pure white wings sprouted from his back.

He was the leader of the executioners, Arios.

Masayuki was confused due to the appearance of a man he did not know. He could not pursue the situation completely.

However, Venom who was guarding Masayuki immediately responded to the situation.

Done Done was well done, as expected of Masayuki. I'm alert, but sorry!

I couldn't catch the presence of the man at all. Masayuki, you are paying good attention to him. 」

Saying those words, Venom came in front of Masayuki.

Without noticing that Masayuki who heard it turned pale.

In fact, Venom always scanned for any presence while guarding Masayuki.

That did not mean he lowered his guard, but he could not catch the presence of the enemy at all. In other words, the man in front of him was a very dangerous person.

「I don't know what your goal is, but if you want to lay a hand on Masayuki, I'll be your opponent. Is it okay, Masayuki? 」

「Eh? Ah yes–"

Masayuki nodded instinctively.

In the first place, Masayuki thought it was unreasonable for him to fight the enemy.

If Venom wanted to replace him, there was no reason for him to refuse.

And, to Masyuki who was still confused, he heard a reliable voice.

「Masayuki an-chan, we are also here! We'll show growth here! 」

「If Masayuki-san is watching, we can be relieved as well!」

「Onii-chan, please see the efforts of Alice and her partner!!

Masayuki was worried about how to repay the children.

He wondered letting the children to fight on this journey.

(But, those kids are actually stronger than me. ... It's inevitable right!)

In the end, he decided to approve them.

「Well, how long do you intend to fumble my chest?」

Masayuki jumped in panic because of that word.

「I'm sorry. I-It was by accident .... 」.

Masayuki could not make a good excuse, but his words were interrupted by Hinata.

"I understand . Instead, I want to say thank you. That guy's aiming at me, right? 」

That said, Hinata thanked Masayuki.

(Well, I'm not aiming for that ... I feel relieved by what happened ..)

He wanted to say that, but Masayuki felt that destruction was waiting for him if he said it, he had no choice but to shut up.

Actually, Arios' target was Hinata.

Reason one.

It was because Yuuki used to worry about Hinata before.

Although he was no longer a special existence, he was still anxious.

He thought he had to deal with her quickly because she was not a person worthy enough for him to kill.

However, since he knew the plan of Reiner and his partner, he tried to kill Hinata during the pause.

Velda stated that not aiming at the royal capital, he did not want to disturb as much as possible but—

Reiner failed.

Therefore, he thought that he would kill the woman in an instant and immediately withdrew.

But, he failed.

Masayuki's luck has derailed Arios' plan.

「Can't help for things like this. Sadly, I will make everyone die! 」

"Shut up! I'm strong, you know? We have Masayuki here too! 」

Venom responded to Arios' statement without fear.

So, the fight started quietly.
