Arms Otome Chapter 15

Chapter 15

「Aaaaaah!! Hoooot! 」

I was able to protect her from the fireball. Hot, hot really but it was still tolerable.

「Master!!」

「Ojou-sama!!」

「Milady!!」

I heard the concerned cries of the three people, but my consciousness is watching my Physical Status.

HP 242/285

Alright! It was nothing serious!!

I would still be able 1 or 2 more of these fireb.a.l.l.s, but no, I don't want to feel that burning sensation again.

I'm not M.

「Ente, keep the ghost knight at bay. Gene, keep cover. Erina will take on the Wight」

Even if I have been teary eyed, I still managed to give instructions.

I wonder how it would have resulted if I could use Silver Flash.

I was sure Ente would be able to handle the Ghost Knight, though it might take some time for Ente to beat it on her own.

Moreover, there's a group of undead that appeared behind us other than the Wight which is a group of bone warriors.

The burden on Erina will much heavier with the approaching battle, and that's why I went with the strategy of having Jenny become the vanguard while I will take part as mid s.h.i.+eld.

「You bone b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!!」

Jenny went for the attack before the bone warriors closed in.

It's still too early to strike!?

When Jenny reaches her destination, she immediately turned two bone warriors into smashed as if they were dead leaves.

The momentum of the strike sends the bone warriors to the wall with enough force to break a part of it.

Five more bone warriors remained.

Jenny's attacks continued shattering the bone warriors apart, even to the point that their armor were pretty much useless against her spear along with the activation if her lightning edge and silver glow of enchantment as she all the enemies surrounding her. It was almost like a tornado.

When I turned to Jenny who's target is the Wight, I could see five s.h.i.+ning arrows stuck on the Wight. Since when did she!?

「……Stubborn aren't you… but I will still continue until you are completely destroyed…」

Eh? Did a strange switch just got flipped?

She showered the Wight with her arrows without even showing any expressions.

I mean, that Wight has already fallen, yet she still fired more and more. When the Wight finally turned into particles of light and disappeared, Erina finally returned to her normal state.

That's good.

「Master, were you injured!?」

When I turned towards her, I found Ente closing in, and the appearance of the ghost knight where nowhere to be found anymore.

Ente was injured!

Perhaps, she forced herself to attack in an effort to immediately defeat her foe.

From the parts where the clothes became damaged and skin was visible, I could see some wounds and scratches all over the place.

「Isn't Ente the one who is injured! I'm glad that you are worried, but don't force yourself into doing something unreasonable」

「Ojou-sama too, don't do such unreasonable things. It was because of me that ojou-sama have to……」

Well, although it's certainly without a doubt that jumping to catch a magic attack is not a praiseworthy act.

Erina stared at me with suspicious eyes. I certainly be worried if it was me in Erina's place.

However, despite all that, I'm still glad that it resulted into something good.

It's the first time for me to see Ente being injured, they weapons after all and don't normally get hurt.

Although I'm quite tired, I didn't receive any injury at all.

Of course, I know that I would definitely die if my entire HP is depleted, but other than that I have never been injured… What am I.

　「Aaah, Milady! It is good that you are fine. When you wrapped in flames I was so shocked and worried that it felt like my heart was about to burst out」

　In that moment Jenny caught me and hugged me from behind. I guess I also worried her, but Jenny why are you breathing like that?

That kind of breathing isn't something you would do after getting tired from a battle but something else you know?

　「Jenny, Master already had enough. Let go of her soon」

Ente was looking at Jenny with reproachful eyes.

　「Ara, Ente wants to hug her is it?

　I'm just trying to feel her heartbeat going dokidoki you know, don't you want to feel it too」

She pressed her chest more from behind me, and then two glared at each other.

The breathtaking coordination they made from a while ago is now nowhere to be seen so I could only sigh.

　「It's time for the two to stop that now, we are still inside the dungeon where undead are prowling around」

　Erina joined in and stop the two that was glaring at each other.

As expected of the one with a big sister aura ErinOnee-sama.

　「Now then, shall we collect our loot items」

I then picked up the demon s.h.i.+eld which was our main objective when we came to this tower.

I was worried about it disappearing after the fight, but it seems like it was a needless worry.

The face design on the demon s.h.i.+eld Maevis makes you think like she would turn out to be a violent type.

Then should I call out to her after we leave the tower?

I still have some stocks of night vision potion, but I don't really want to things like this too forcibly.

　「Milord, I suddenly remembered, I also picked up something like this」

Jenny hands over me a black ring. This thing also remained after all that has turned into particles of light disappeared.

It feels strange though… I don't feel anything, even though I wore it on my hand.

In 『ARMS OTOME』 there are also girls that are from rings, yet I don't remember anyone resembling this ring.

There are letters carved into it, but it's too small that I can't properly read them.

I was wondering if it's some kind of magic incantation. There are also numbers dug out into it.

Well, forget about that and I will just have to confirm it with the guild.

They'll probably be able to handle it, and might even give a reward for it.

　「Even so, that group of undead was weird」

I murmured as we descend down the stairs and met a few undead along the way.

It sure is unusual seeing undead fighting each other, not to mention that after a while the ghost knight was even able to call back up when it was in a pinch.

　「I only noticed them when they were already right there behind us. I was wondering, just where in the area were they all lurking to be that fast」

　Is what Erina muttered in disappointment. After all, Erina also have a high level of detection ability.

And even with that, they were able to appear unnoticed.

I wonder if we would only notice if we gain a certain amount of strength.

While having such conversations, we successfully reached the exit of the tower. Fuuu~ the air outside is delicious. Well it's probably because the place were at is filled with the scent of death that it felt like we were cleansed. The current time is probably just around noon?

Being inside a dungeon surely feels strange that even our sense of time was affected.

Well then, let's call Maevis after having a meal.
