Fake Princess
CCLXVIII Chapter
"Where is Lux?" My head was moving looking for him, still... I can't find him in bed or anywhere.
My eyes fell on the shadow of the man who emerged from behind the bathroom door. The shadow shrank followed by the body of a man who fell face down unconscious... He, the man who looked at me from behind the bathroom wall.
"Through here" said Lux, who had flown over the man's body.
Lux moved her palm, Izumi moved sideways as her hand moved pushing against my shoulder. I pulled Cia's arm to follow me, Haruki who was walking in front of me moved his sword away from a sword that suddenly appeared with a man holding it.
My eyes turned to the door of the room that had been destroyed, I pulled Cia's arm back as my body lowered its head to grab the sword that fell not too far from the unconscious man's body. The sound of swords colliding into each other filled the room which was indeed not too wide.
The sword I had previously held suddenly came back apart as I felt a powerful chuckle coiling around my neck. I looked at the unconscious man earlier, his eyes looking back at me with one hand getting stronger and stifling my neck...
My chest felt tight, my eyes twitched holding a giggle from him. I thrust my left hand back, I grabbed an arrow behind my back. The arrow stuck right in his eyes, the man screamed in pain... I took the previously released sword as I thrust the sword through his head with both hands as the giggling he was doing loosened slightly.
"Sorry, the poison I gave him is still too weak for him" said Lux, who had flown in front of me.
"It's okay" I said with one hand rubbing my neck.
I stood up again, my hand pulled the sword that was still stuck in the corpse of the man. Blood poured out as the sword was pulled from his head.
"Lux, take Cia into hiding" I said, pushing Cia's body slowly forward.
"What about you?" Lux replied moving flying in front of me.
"I'm fine..."
"Go Sa-chan, we'll take care of them all. Take Cia and Lux with you, and also Mas'ud," said Haruki swinging his sword tore the belly of the man before him.
"Go away" Izumi continued as her sword slashed through one of the enemy's necks until the man's neck was almost separated from his head.
"I understand. Lux, Mas'ud," I said as I ran into the bathroom with one hand holding Cia's hand tightly in the back.
I followed Lux who led us into a human-sized hole in the bathroom. Was it the man who made this big hole?
Lux flew faster and disappeared behind the wall as we stepped through the hole. The palm of my hand that tightly grasped Cia's hand came off, the palm of my hand was closing its eyes as my gaze fell on the female corpse with its head facing the back of its body.
My gaze returned to Cia who was holding my palm earlier, I raised my hand that was covering her eyes while I pulled her hand back following me running away from the room.
My footsteps stopped, I let go of my grip on Cia while my hands spread out and pushed Cia's body slowly to stay behind me. I firmly grasped a sword that I carried towards the large man before us.
Calm yourself, Sachi, and remember. All, everything your brother taught you...
"Women like you, often have power far below that of men. That's why, Sa-chan..."
Haruki's words rang in my mind. I give one of my hands that holds the sword to release all the things that would otherwise interfere with movement... Bows, arrow tubes, even the bag I was carrying, I dropped it on the floor.
"If you're going to fight with someone who has a bigger body than you. Remember your brother's message, Sachi..."
Izumi's voice that came into my mind guided my steps. I stepped forward slowly taking into account the distance between me and that big man, Haruki, and Izumi had once said...
"If you come face to face with them. You can be sure, your life will drift right away, Sa-chan."
"Whatever happens! Avoid all attacks. Use that little body of yours to dodge all the attacks I'm about to make, Squirrel!"
My body moved sideways as the man's sword swung almost splitting my body. His sword swung back, my body moved back down and then moved sideways again, trying to avoid the swing of the sword from the man.
"I'll teach you some kind of kick, Squirrel."
"Kicks?"
"When you try to avoid the enemy in a fight, and your hands are not up to counter-attack. Then..."
When the man was a little off guard, I ran up to him, twisting a little bit of my body until my feet moved to hit the man's face. I stepped back as the man also retreated back a few steps due to the kick I was doing.
I took a deep breath with the sword I was holding still directed at the man. My steps back to avoid the attack from him, to the right and to the left, to the somersault back when my feet accidentally hit the table there...
Think Sachi, think! You will die out of energy if you only try to avoid attacks from him.
