The Crisis World XX
Chap. 105: Strange Girl



The new sword I had obtained 'magically' from Kenshin-san and Nezumi's shop. And I went home with mixed feelings. Happy for successfully possessing such an incredible weapon, but also confused on how to pay it off.


But I decided to think about it later. For now I'll just go home and show this to Tetsu and Caramel.


When I got home, I was greeted by both of them. I then told them this happy news, a new sword for me and a new home for Tetsu.


I also have a debt for inadvertently destroying Tetsu's house, so hopefully this substitute sword can be accepted as my apology. And when he saw it and examined it, Tetsu gave his reaction.


"I don't like it!"


"Eh?"


"It's not iron! Even the teeth of disgusting animals! I don't want to live in it!"


That was Tetsu's first reaction when he saw this new sword. I just realized that all this time he only lived in iron and this new sword was made of dragon fangs.


"But it's pretty strong, you know," I assured him."


"No want! I don't like it!"


"Well .. this is going to be a hassle."


Cecilia also realized that this would not be as easy as she thought. I who was tired and just wanted to rest looked towards Caramel. Showing a face and asking for help.


Caramel who noticed the sign asking for help from me could only sigh heavily and then approach Tetsu who was sulking.


"Tetsu."


"The caramel?"


"Try to imagine this."


"Imagine?"


"really. Imagine you're inside Iraya's new sword, a very powerful sword."


Tetsu who was sulking then obeyed Caramel and began to imagine the thing he was told while closing his eyes.


"Imagine ... Iraya is fighting an enemy that is numerous, powerful, and dangerous."


"Ooh?!"


In his shadow, Tetsu inside the sword was facing hundreds of monsters with sinister form and sharp teeth. Iraya then darted and attacked blindly so that it created rain and puddles of blood.


Tetsu who was imagining it was salivating because he was so tempted. Then he opened his eyes again.


"Is that really what's going to happen?!" ask Tetsu spirit.


"Mrs! If you don't believe me, just ask Iraya."


"Iraya! Is it true that if I go into that sword, I will get a lot of blood?!"


"So that's what you've been imagining about," I said flatly.


But conquering Tetsu turned out to be easier than I thought, he was very easily tempted by his favorite food. Yes his name is also a small child—though his age is not, anyway.


I agreed with Tetsu's delusion earlier and he immediately made this sword as his new home. Caramel also looked at me and I gave her a thumbs up.

Deadline... Deadline... Deadline...


The break had rung and the teacher was out of class. The atmosphere of the class immediately became crowded and I also stretched my body due to stiffness, it was true that sitting in one place for a long time was not good for my body.


After moving into this new class, I still haven't made any new friends. Only Herlin and Anna-san are the ones I talk to a lot. I wasn't too close before but to the person in my class, so suddenly moving to a new class was enough to torture my soul.


But I don't want to get too close to them. I've learned from my previous experience, the death of my classmate A is my fault, so I'll try not to get too close to ordinary people.


Is correct. It was a decision I made.


"Say you don't know how to start a conversation with someone new, do you?"


Jamb...


Cecilia's words pierced my heart and damaged my cool stance.


"Huh ...why doesn't everyone let me be cool in the least, anyway?" muttered.


Ignoring Cecilia's words, I also noticed my classmate. They are divided into several friendship groups which of course exist in every class. I looked at a group of women.


There are about five women with fashionable styles and also wear excessive makeup for High School children. Looks like they are a collection of high-class women who are picky friends.


There were actually many more people who were in groups like them, but there was someone who caught my attention. The woman sitting at the front door.


Unlike the others, he seemed to be alone eating simple provisions calmly and quietly. Neither did his classmates talk to him at this time.


I don't know why I feel sorry but I am grateful. It's a pity because it seems like he's been in such a state for such a long time, but also grateful that it's not just me who has no friends here.


I watched him long enough. I was in a safe position because he was currently in a sitting position in front and I could only see his back, so he did not judge me as a stalker.


"Didn't you want to go up to him?" ask Cecilia.


"Hn? I don't know, there will be strange news again if I go to him. We need someone else who seems to be a good fit for something like this."


Unknowingly my gaze headed towards Herlin who was busy arranging her seat to eat together with Anna-san.


"A suitable person?" ask Cecilia confused.


"Yep. It just might take a good time. Oh?"


My eyes were on the girl again. This time he closed his stock and stood up from his stool and walked to the back table. And it looks like he's headed towards Herlin's desk.


Herlin and Anna-san who noticed it then looked at the girl who was standing next to the table, while I just watched her silently.


"Who?" ask Herlin.


"Hanasaki-san is?" Anna-san mentioned the girl's name which made me remember.


I looked into the absent book and saw the name. 'Hanasaki Yurei' if it's not written wrongly there. I've never seen him talk to anyone after moving here and the first person I saw he's chatting with now is Herlin.


"Hanasaki-san is?" ask Herlin to Anna-san.


"He's your classmate, Herlin-san. You didn't know him."


"Mm ... that's .. sorry, I forgot. By the way do you have any business with me?"


"Is that yours?"


"Eh?"


The small voice of Hanasaki-san is cold. Hanasaki-san brought her mouth closer to Herlin's ear and repeated her question.


"The one who always follows you .. does he belong to you?"


Herlin's eyes widened slightly in shock at hearing his question. The creature that often follows him, it is not wrong again that is Banshee. Ordinary people could not possibly see or feel its existence.


"You ... did you—"


"Oi!"


But before Herlin could finish his words, five women came to them all. Herlin's eyes and they looked, he realized that he knew this woman's face.


Then Herlin glanced at Anna-san who looked nervous and frightened. He also did not dare to look into the eyes of the group of women.


"Do you have any business with me?" ask Herlin.


"Curf! Let's get out of here!"


They all then leave from there leaving Herlin and Anna-san. But they forcibly pulled Hanasaki-san's hand and brought her along with them. One of the women also whispered something into Hanasaki-san's ear.


"What's really going on?" ask Herlin.


"It's like they don't like your presence here, Herlin." I interrupted.


"Eh? But I never met him."


"Herlin-san, did you forget? You saved me that time from them."


"Ah~"


Herlin watched Hanasaki-san who left the classroom being carried by the five women.


**


And as usual after school, me, Herlin, and Mei-senpai were training on the back hill. This exercise has become more routine since the departure of Oita-san.


There was no time to laze around because there could be a greater danger coming and for the next, there was no help from Oita-san. And now we're doing sparing.


Zwuush... Zwuush...


This time the one who was sparing was Herlin against Mei-senpai. Five minutes had passed and their fight was still going on, while Anna-san and I were watching from the side.


Zwuush...


Both of them were focused and serious until they ignored both of us. Mei-senpai who was flying with the help of her wind, smiled as she managed to avoid all the stone throws by meandering through the trees.


"Don't run, Senpai!" herlin.


"Snow? No way! Feel this!"


"?!!"


From behind Herlin who was focusing on attacking suddenly a bunch of rocks that he had just thrown shot towards him. But he quickly realized it and directed his abilities and held all the stones that led to him.


Zii...


"Senpai thinks this is enough to beat me?"


"Of course not!"


Zwuush...


Using that opportunity, Mei-senpai darted very quickly and came down from the wind drill at her feet. At the same time, he tried to kick Herlin in the head.


But Herlin with his high reflexes was able to pull his head so he managed to avoid the kick from Mei-senpai. But his attacks did not stop there, Senpai still continued to dart and did not give Herlin a chance.


Swuush... Swuush... Swuush...


All the attacks given by Mei-senpai could still be avoided by Herlin, but on one hand Herlin could not give a counterattack. He continued to dodge while moving backwards and in the end his back hit the tree behind him.


Braakhs...


"Wine."


"I can finally get to you!"


Braagh... Zwuush...


The blow coupled with the force of the wind made the dust around them fly and blocked my and Anna-san's sight, so we haven't been able to determine the winner on this sparing.


"Who won?" ask Anna-san.


"Of course."


And after a while of waiting, the dust slowly disappeared and we were finally able to see the results.


"What?!" mei-senpai said in disbelief.


Mei-senpai's smile that had appeared since we disappeared for a moment when she saw her fist caught by Herlin's hand. Although with a tremble, but he could still hold it well.


"Do Senpai think .. am I weak in close combat?"


"Eh?"


Set... Brugh's...


"Akhc!"


While Mei-senpai was still confused, Herlin pulled the Mei-senpai shirt and slammed it with a slam commonly found in Judo martial arts.


"Game over! Winner ... Herlin-san!"


Herlin took his hand off Mei-senpai's shirt and let her wake up on her own, as she walked towards us. Followed by Mei-senpai whose face looks dissatisfied.


"Good work~" I told them both.


"Huh .. when I thought I had won."


"Senpai was too caught off guard at the end for thinking he had defeated me and that was when I turned him over."


"Yes, yes, the dust bothers me a lot, anyway."


"Reason" I said little.


"What did you say?!" Although I barely made a sound, but somehow Mei-senpai could still hear that.


"Ti-no .. but what matters now is the agreement."


"Huh ... who lost the drink treaty, right?"


We both nodded. "Senpai has lost twice to me and Herlin, so Senpai has to do it" I continued.


"All right."


"Let's go with me, Senpai," said Anna-san.


"REally?!"


Mei-senpai's eyes immediately sparkled hearing Anna-san's words earlier, she really became a little angel among us who was this demon.


"Eh? Is he the loser, so he has to accept his punishment?"


"It's a pity that Mei-senpai came down from here alone after such a fight, so I think having a conversation partner will definitely help her a bit" Anna-san said.


"You're too good, Anna-chan. Then who will be the referee—Ah."


Herlin looked at me. "What's wrong?" my many.


"I will test your true abilities. I mean, that's completely original. Cecilia and Tetsu, can you be the referee?"


Shie...


Two white and greenish colored lights suddenly appeared simultaneously. And from the two lights then appeared the form of Cecilia and Tetsu.


"Good idea."


"I will count three two one!"


"Why are you two so excited?" tanyaku.


"Good, right? So I can tell you how far you're really capable of" explained Cecilia.


I let out a heavy sigh because of their desire I could no longer stop. But since Cecilia and Tetsu were here, I remembered something.


"Herlina! Since I've already taken out mine, you should also take out yours!"


"My mountain? Oh, that means Banshee. It's okay, if you think I won with Banshee's help, then you're wrong. The banshee."


Not to forget Banshee was also raised by Herlin with the form of a beautiful and elegant woman, floating beside Herlin. Banshee then flew over next to Cecilia and Tetsu to take notice from the side.


"Then me and Mei-senpai will buy a drink first, have some fun with the two of you. Don't push yourself too hard, yeah!"


Anna-san then went down with Mei-senpai, she was so kind to all of us. Maybe that's why Herlin wanted to be her friend at once to protect her. Thinking about it makes me smile to myself.


"Looking at you smiling like that and not knowing what you're thinking somehow gives me goosebumps" said Cecilia.


"Stop, you're making me look like a freak."


"Then let's start sparing between Iraya and Herlin!"


"Wait a minute, Tetsu." Herlin stopped Tetsu for a moment.


"Hn?"


"Iraya, you have two swords now."


"Why indeed?"


"I borrowed one, of course the sword made of dragon fangs."


"Make what? We're not sparing like we used to?"


"I'm sure that without Cecilia and Tetsu you'd be able to drop dramatically, so this time I'd like to test my sword skills. Then you can use your aura sword."


"I really don't understand your way of thinking."


I threw my new sword at Herlin, whom he captured perfectly. While I flowed the solid green aura into the hilt of the sword one more time, so the sword aura formed.


"I've never seen you use a sword."


"Then you'll be surprised."


Herlin put up the horses. But the horses are different from mine. Even though he underestimated me, but if it was about sword . I wouldn't lose to him.


"God! Just try it."


"Then, three ... two ... one! Get started!"


And after the countdown from Tetsu, the sparring between me and Herlin that was slightly different began.
