Translator’s Note:

I think a high speed sword clash was something like this

Ah… I really love Ais and this scene the best from the whole manga .

Mile chapter 73: Earl vs Master

◎ Talesu Town – stadium

This time, Mil… Evening Dress Mask is the one who attack .

It is a high speed combat .

Mile ready her sword and quickly dashed to attack the Earl’s left flank .

And the Earl who receives it with his sword bounces back .

Mile swings the sword again to attack the Earl .

After that, intense sword clash continued .

Because the Earl have a dignified straight-ahead match as a knight, so rather than moved around like the battle with Guren, Mile had change to more suitable power to face the Earl .

There was not much movement, a fierce battle that continued between attack and defend using swords .

It seemed to be a disadvantage for a hunter with small build, but it had nothing to do with Mile .

Originally, her sword skill as a hunter was also poor, so it didn’t matter much how she fought .

Speed ​​and power . It was only what Mile pursuit .

On other hand, the Earl began to feel impatient .

It was because the skill of the opponent was very poor .

Usually, the swordsman has decent sword skill can’t win against a very skillful swordsman . He can overcome by technique, exceeding speed, exceeding judgment and reading your opponent movements before hand .

However, amateur make unexpected movements . You can’t read their movements . Although amateur is inferior in technique and speed but there’s a high chance they can land an unexpected blow on you .

And his opponent has amateur sword skill but she swings sword with the speed and power exceeding the expert .

It was dangerous . It was a terribly dangerous opponent .

A moment of careless will becomes a fatal injury, a powerful high-speed consecutive blow that he can’t read the movement ahead at all .

The Earl had to keep concentrating, which forced him to exhaust abnormally .

If it is normal amateur, he just need to bait his opponent to attack and quickly counter blow to defeat them .

However,the small girl in front of him block all his attack . Why? how can she react to all his attacks while her skill is poor .

The battle continues and the end can’t be seen .

The Earl gradually suffered from fatigue, and the impatience began to rise .

(In this way, equal … no, for real?

How can this little girl really all right with all this?

She kept attacking with ridiculous speed and power for a long time but neither her speed or power decrease .

Besides, there are no fragments of fatigue and impatience .

Well, no doubt, she was playing with me … , impossible, there can’t be such a thing!) (Earl’s inner thought)

Impatience and fatigue create disturbances and a gap in his defend .

*Ga chari* (SFX)

“U~u …” (Earl)

The part near the handle of the blade was struck and Earl dropped his sword .

The Earl wasn’t careless . He was beaten with a speed and heavy blow and his hands is numbed to the point he dropped the sword .

His sword was dropped on the ground .

Cheers are rising up from the audience .

As a knight, what a blunder . What a humiliation .

He can’t stop the flushing of his face or the trembling of his arms .

“Please, pick up as soon as possible” (Mile)

“What …” (Earl)

(She already win even without a victory declaration and it doesn’t seem like she makes fun of me .

If it is normal, I will hold my stupid pride, kicks the simulated sword and leave, but this time I didn’t go .

This battle is an important factor for my beloved daughter .

I can’t allow her to keep doing dangerous hunter operations as she is . Definitely .

I don’t doubt my son’s victory . And even if it is one thousandth, I can not ignore the possibility of exposing my daughter’s life to danger .

No matter how much hopeless this battle is, no matter how much I will be shame in public and show an unsightly figure, I can’t abandon this match . ) (Earl’s inner thought)

The Earl picked up the sword and set it up again .

And after 30 minutes .

There was a figure of Earl Austin with both hands and knees on the ground .

It was already his limit .

He has neither the power to stand up nor the power to grip the sword .

Complete defeat .

There was no other word to express .

“Is it okay that I win?” (Mile)

With Mile’s confirmation question, the Count silently nodded .

And a big applause and cheers were raised for Mile which returns to the standby place and the Earl which borrowed a shoulder from one subordinate and returned to the standby place on the other side .

There are no one laugh at the Earl in this place .

The Count was strong .

He was strong enough to win B rank, no even A rank hunter .

However, the other party was bad . That’s it .

Even everyone applause, but the Earl was distorted .

There is no anger or hate to his opponent .

On the contrary, he was admired that girl strength .

For a hunter that young with poor technique but to have that strength and speed .

It’s self-taught, she put all effort just continued with self-discipline .

Exactly, she deserves praise .

The wrath of the Earl was against his own dishonesty, and it was a self – hatred for not being able to secure his daughter ‘s safety with his own hands .

The Earl who finally returned to the waiting place, telling his trusting son .

“… Absolutely win, never give up . ” (Earl)

“…Yes!” (Weiln)

And Austin’s eldest son, Weiln von Austin . (ウェイルン: Ueirun)

To bring back his beloved sister, he turn his heart into a demon, head towards his sister’s fight .

Weiln regrets .

After three boys, Austin family finally got the first daughter, Maevis .

Parents and grandparents as well as the three older brothers were loving her .

As a princess of the Austin family, Maevis was brought up without any inconvenience . After watching all three elder brothers training with sword and she said she also want to try it herself .

The three brothers don’t agree to it, but they afraid to be hated by Maevis . So they secretly tried to help her practice only some form and unexpectedly Maevis was quite a talent, three brothers were surprised .

And since they don’t want their cute little sister to be attacked by a man . They teached her the necessary self-defense skills .

And when Weiln was alone, he can’t resist Maevis who came to ask “Ani-sama, I want to practice sword with you”, and he trained her variously with the eldest son’s privilege .

After that he found out that Maevis had also gone to other brothers and she was doing 3 times the amount of training he was thinking .

And in their knight ceremony, their adorable little sister is staring at ceremony with shining eyes . For their cute little sister to admired them, made them many times happier becoming knights .

At first they thought Maevis was only admiring them, they didn’t realize that she yearning to become knight herself . Further more, they fail to stop their little sister to run away from home, chasing her dream to become knight .

(…Failure . If I noticed it earlier, I might be can’t change Maevis interests, but at least I could have stopped her from running away from home .

It was a great failure .

However, I will not fail this time .

I will take Maevis home . In the name of the eldest son of Austin) (Weiln’s inner thought)

“Had you been well, Elderst Ani-sama?” (Maevis)

Brother and sister face each other in the center of the stadium .

“It’s about eight months, we’ve been missing you a lot …

However, I will not be able to get hold back today .

I will be careful to my utmost not to injure you, but it may hurt a little bit . ” (Weiln)

Maevis smiles bitterly with the words of Weiln .

“Elderst Ani-sama, I will not be a child forever,

I’m a leader of a C rank hunter party 『Red Oath』

I will show you what I have become!” (Maevis)

When saying so, Maevis pulls simulated sword .

Weiln also pulls out the sword .

“Let’s fight” (Maevis + Weiln)

Translator’s Corner:

How I think Maevis looks like when she was young .

Ani-sama, please teach me how to use sword .

And now, see what she’s become .
