Chapter 96

When Peaceful Times Cease To Exist : The Fairy And Great Beasts Of The Prairie, Part 7 — The Guardian Of The Prairie

Translated by KaiesV

Edited by KaiesV

 

A green-haired girl appears in front of Alfiris.

She must be about Miranda’s height, though, and probably older than Lisa.

What is certain, however, is that it was a human girl.

Her long, green, straight hair hangs straight down her back, and the sun shines through it on her back.

The eyes are a little tight and can be considered a beauty with a sharp atmosphere.

Her atmosphere exudes more of a warrior than a feminine air.

And the words emanating from her glossy lips intimidated all of them.

 

「It is our law that we do not touch people from the outside.

I do not know how you would break this rule, if you are fiends who do not understand our language.」

 

The girl is not shouting loudly.

But her voice rang better and clearer than anyone else’s.

But the horsemen were not silent.

 

「What about killing our own people! It isn’t yet decided that we have broken the code!」

「Then what are we going to do with these girls」

「We bring them back to our village and welcome them!」

「We’ll entertain those you tied That’s a very rough way to entertain.」

「You have no right to interfere with our way of life!」

「You make excuses like an outsider… Then explain to me the nature of our hospitality!」

 

The girl raises her voice even higher.

But the horsemen didn’t answer.

 

「What’s the matter! Can’t you explain it to me」

「…Not many women are born in our village these days.

We don’t have enough women.」

「So you’re trying to scare away people from the outside Why don’t you just tell them what’s going on and ask for their consent」

「We don’t have time for that kind of leisurely bull**!」

「Fools, that is why you are called barbarians! Why don’t you realize that this very act is strangling you even more!」

「Shut up! The main principle of this prairie code should be that the weak should follow the strong.

These women didn’t prevent our attack.

Therefore, they are ours!」

「I don’t deny the principle, but to an outsider, it’s a load of crap.

And if I were to put forth that principle, you all would have to follow my orders.」

 

The girl glares at the men.

The strong men involuntarily back away from the power of the girl.

Alfiris and the others were unintentionally startled by her murderous intent.

However, a person who appears to be the captain of the cavalry takes a step forward to defend himself.

 

「Shut up, you vixen of the Flame Beast! We were free to do as we pleased before you showed up.

And it doesn’t mean we are weaker than you.

Let’s do it, kill her and we’ll be free!」

「…I have no problem taking that as clear defiance, do you」

 

The girl also raises her tension as she watches each of the horsemen take up their weapons.

Then, a person who seemed to be the captain kicked the horse in the stomach, and as a signal, the horsemen began to attack the girl at once.

 

「This is inevitable.」

 

The girl muttered in a whisper so that only she could hear and threw the throwing shuriken on her back (a so-called curved sword, so the blade is about 50 cm long) almost simultaneously.

The movement was too quick and the momentum of the shuriken was too great.

About three people were cut in two, including the horse, and the blade stuck in the ground next to Kazas and stopped.

 

「H–Hiiee!」

 

No one can hardly blame Kazas if he screamed.

The moment they thought the girl had moved, he had a shuriken stuck in his side.

But even under such circumstances, these brave cavaliers did not flinch, and they cut their way through the crowd.

Seeing this, the girl lightly kicks the side of her horse and runs off to the side, away from the horsemen.

Soon the horsemen were in pursuit of the girl.

Meanwhile, Alfiris’ group have already been left alone.

Alfiris, freed by Euthy, release everyone one after the other.

It seemed that the barbarians no longer had time to worry about Alfiris.

 

「We have to join that girl!」

「Yeah, she’s outnumbered at every turn.」

「That’d be unnecessary.」

「Eh」

 

When Alfiris and the others try to join them, Euthy easily denies them.

 

「B–But…」

「I’m telling you, there’s no need.

If she’s as good as they say she is, she’ll kick the crap out of 30 people in no time.」

「Ehhh」

「Well, watch.

Maybe you’ll see something good.」

 

For some reason, Euthy’s face seemed a little excited as she said this.

And when they turned their eyes back to the girl, the gap between her and the cavalrymen was widening.

The horsemen are frantically whipping and kicking their horses in the belly, but the girl has not even kicked her horse in the belly yet and is coolly letting her horse run free.

Apparently, the performance of the horses is significantly different.

When she saw that the others were not catching up, she turned around and mounted her horse backward.

She then picked up the bow that was attached to her horse.

 

「Is she riding her horse backwards」

「What dexterity to let go of the reins and steer the horse!」

「And she’s holding up three arrows at the same time」

 

No wonder Fenna was surprised.

The girl simultaneously fires three arrows at the same time.

The leaders of the group, including the captain, avoided this, but the chasing pack was unable to dodge.

And the horsemen who reflexively tried to knock off the arrows with their swords blew away the swords, or rather, the swords and the men and horses as well, and the penetrating arrows further blew away the following ones as well.

As a result, she killed about five people with three arrows.

The arrows were as destructive as pitchforks.

 

「What the hell was that!」

「Don’t tell me she reinforced it with wind magic like Alfie did」

「Yes, but it’s so much more powerful than me.

It’s amazing.」

 

The astonishment of Alfiris and her team didn’t end there.

Seeing the disadvantage of consolidating, the cavalrymen deployed on three sides, driving from two sides and blocking the path of the first.

The girl, seeing this, changes her weapon back again from bow and arrow to shuriken, but there are only five more shuriken stuck in her back.

Everyone thought it should be used efficiently, but the girl had a faint smile on her mouth and,

 

「Phew…」

 

She smiled.

It was as if she knew everything they were thinking.

At least that is how they appeared to the horsemen who were following them.

Then, first targeting one of the pursuers, the girl throws the four remaining shuriken sparingly.

Two flew toward the horsemen, but the other two flew in the wrong direction; one of them failed to dodge and was seriously injured, but this time most of them dodged well.

But just as they dodged it, another shuriken flew out from an unexpected direction with a “whoosh” sound that sliced through the air.

One of the teams that had been chasing them was annihilated by the shuriken.

The dead horsemen wouldn’t even understand that they were dead.

As for the use, the girl used the first two as bait and drove the enemy into a line.

Then, using a shuriken in the manner of a boomerang, she dropped the heads of all the enemies in line behind her in one fell swoop.

Of course, the heads were reinforced with wind magic.

 

She also retrieved three more shuriken back to her hand, leaving her with four left.

Perhaps thinking it was a bad idea, the rest of the chasing party tried to rapidly close the distance, but the performance of the horses was too different.

And the remaining four shurikens are unleashed without mercy.

This time, all of them are flying in the wrong direction.

All the horsemen involuntarily followed the whereabouts of the shuriken with their eyes, but that was the girl’s trap, and she aimed at the moment they were momentarily distracted and threw a round disk that could be used as a shield, in which the shuriken was stuck.

Its surroundings are polished like a blade, and it is designed to be used as a throwing weapon in its own right.

That disk attacks the horsemen’s pursuers, who have been naturally guided almost in a line by the shuriken.

Those who tried to block the blow with their swords were mercilessly decapitated with their swords.

Those who barely dodged the attack were already seriously wounded, and shurikens were coming at them from all sides.

In no time at all, two squads of 16 pursuers lost their lives.

Alfiris and her group were speechless at the sight.

 

「Unbelievable…」

「T–That’s overkill…」

「The way she fought…」

「(That’s because she’s the manager of this prairie.

The other faeries said she was stronger than most magical beasts, but I thought it was just a bigger story anyway.

But this person is really strong.

I wonder if this strength is just human)」

 

Despite Euthy’s thoughts, only one squad of ten remained, the one that had gone ahead of the others.

But this time, the girl has no throwing weapon.

The girl takes out a spear from her back and readies it, then flips her body and plunges head-on into the squad.

The leader of the cavalry also rode his horse to intercept her, but just before the collision, the girl shifted the direction of the horse to avoid contact.

The team had no choice but to slow down to change the direction of their horses, but then a flash of light hit them.

At the same time, one of the men fell from his horse, blood spraying from his neck.

For a moment, the horsemen didn’t know what had happened, but it was obvious to those watching from the side.

It was nothing, the girl had just caught up with them from behind and cut them off.

But the fact that a girl hardly had to slow down when changing direction was quite a departure from the norm, even for a horseman.

As well as the skill of the riders, the horsemen didn’t understand the significance of too much difference in horse performance.

She would do more of the same and defeat the other one.

Seeing this, the horsemen, realizing that they would be at a disadvantage if they moved, formed a circle with their backs to each other and tried to intercept the girl, but this time the girl saw them and made a sign in her hand.

By the time the captain noticed the action, it was already too late.

 

【O spirits who dwell in the air, come and gather to become bullets, gather bullets to become orbs, and let the air be the pathway for these orbs.

Show them the power of the Spirit over their heads.】

《Aero Cannon》

 

A mass of wind so compressed that it can be visualized strikes the circularly shaped horsemen.

The horsemen also seem to be able to use magic, and all of them defend against it with defensive magic, but some of them are mortally wounded, and even the survivors are knocked off balance by the compressed mass of wind, and their vision is taken away.

 

「Guaaahhhh!!!」

「Uuooghhh!!!」

 

The sound of the girl’s horse’s hooves approaches amidst the shouts of the horsemen.

The captain wasn’t so concerned.

He caught the shadow of the girl’s horse in his vision through the rising smoke and tried to cut it down, but the girl wasn’t on the horse.

As soon as the captain realized this, he heard the hot pain running down his back and the decisive screams of his men.

 

「(How… how beautiful…)」

 

That was Alfiris’ false impression.

Even her green hair, of which she was probably proud, was stained red in some areas from the blood that had returned.

It’s human blood, and when it dries, it hardens in a certain way, making it harder for the wind to blow through her hair, but she didn’t seem to care, she was so impressed with the girl who was walking her horse toward them without even wiping the blood off her face that she was surprised that she didn’t seem to care, Alfiris thought she was beautiful.

It is said that when one sees too many horrific sights, one’s senses become numb, and one may even find them beautiful, but perhaps this was a similar feeling.
