When Kanata parted ways with Bennett and co, two people were facing each other on top of the roof.
One one side was a fair-skinned, black-haired, slender girl with bob-cut
She only wore simple gauntlets to protect the back of her hands, and a lightweight robe.
She glared with an emotionless look on her face at her opponent.
She was the S-rank adventurer of Manarak, Takanashi Kotone of 《Ares Hand》.
The one standing before her was the leader of 《Blood Cup》, Bosgin.
He was a bald-headed giant whose height and width was almost twice as big as Kotone.
He had another moniker, 《Bosgin of Giant Arm》.
「That Lovis… He seems to be quite late. Well it doesn’t matter. Things will be easier this way.」
Bosgin sent a quick glance toward the adventurer guild located away from their location.
「I invited him to boost my combat force but well, 《Ares Hand》 is originally my prey anyway.」
「You’re those people leader, Bosgin…」
Kotone took a stance as she glared at Bosgin.
Seeing that, Bosgin let out an emotionless laugh while looking at Kotone with his weird, glass bead-like eyes.
「Yes, it seems that you take down a lot of my subordinate too, right?」
「… What’s your goal?」
「Oioioi, stop playing dumb. You received the item from those small fries in the guild right?」
Bosgin giggled as he asked that question.
The 《Red Authority Cane》 brought by the kingdom knight was originally an item that was supposed to be given to Kotone.
「If that’s the case, things will be easier if you take it from the knight. I can understand if you failed to take the cane from them along the way and had to attack the city. But, that’s no reason to cause this huge commotion either. It’s as if your real goal is to make this very commotion.」
「Hou? I thought that you’re a mere brat who was rotten by the seemingly peaceful life after relying on your 《Gift Skill》 but, it seems you went through your fair share of troubles yourself. Good job in noticing that fact.」
Kotone frowned upon noticing the way Bosgin spoke.
Bosgin was such a weird man.
His physique had approached the limit of a human, and he had a peculiar look in his eyes but Kotone felt something was amiss.
「Let’s see… I want to make the name of 《Blood Cup》 to be an unforgettable terror in this city… That sounds like something that this 《Bosgin of Giant Arm》 will say, right?」
「Are you screwing with me?」
「Well, you’ve already noticed it eh, 《Ares Hand》! Man, I love wise woman like you the most!」
Bosgin licks his lips with his weirdly long tongue.
He stomped the roof, and rushed at Kotone.
The roof where he stepped broke.
Bosgin swung his giant arms toward the roof right in front of where Kotone stood.
Numerous cracks appeared around Bosgin, and the roof collapsed.
Kotone had also tripped and fell down along the collapsed roof.
「I’M JUST GETTING STARTED!」
Thus, Kotone erased all her hesitation and jumped out of the collapsed roof.
「Hou? How skillful. But, empty handed 《Ares Hand》 is nothing more than a sandbag.」
「I have this.」
Kotone showed the gauntlet in her hands as she readied her stance again.
「You want a fist fight against me, don’t screw with me, little girl!」
After saying that, Bosgin swung his arms at Kotone again.
「Bosgin, the boss of giant criminal organization, 《Blood Cup》, living disaster who caused many tragedies and a candidate of 《Humanoid Dragon》…」
Kotone dodged Bosgin’s attack, slipped into his bosom, and then unleashed a heavy strike toward the center of his chest.
「Urgh…!」
「Sorry but, you’re no match for me.」
Bosgin’s huge body floated in the air for a while due to the strength behind Kotone’s strike.
Following that, Kotone unleashed a kick toward Bosgin’s exposed abdomen.
But, her kick was stopped by Bosgin’s arm right before she scored a hit.
「You let your guard down… Lass.」
Just like that, Bosgin grabbed Kotone’s feet, and tossed her into the air.
Kotone’s body launched straight up in the air.
Bosgin raised his left hand.
The muscle on his left arm suddenly swelled up, increased in size, and punched toward Kotone.
「Fufufu… It’s just you say that I’m no match for you, in head on battle, that’s it! But, My strength who gathered those outlaws and lead them as leader of 《Blood Cup》 ain’t just for show!」
「Time-space Magic, 8th Rank; 《Dimension Pocket》.」
Kotone invoked space-time magic in the air.
Kotone’s hand was holding onto the handle of a massive axe whose size was at least five times bigger than her and exuding pale blue light.
Bosgin’s eyes opened wide in amazement.
「《Ancient Gigant Axe》」
The unnaturally massive sized axe drew a beautiful curve as it swung down by Kotone’s small frame.
And drilled into the roof which became scaffolding for Bosgin.
That one swing caused the entire building to collapse as Bosgin’s body fell from the roof.
Even though the building was two-storied, Bosgin’s body pierced through the floor of the second floor and crashed on the first floor.
Obviously, Kotone’s strike was far more powerful than Bosgin’s punch.
Bosgin whose body got knocked down all the way until the first floor was covered in his own blood.
Kotone stood right beside the fallen Bosgin, looking down on the latter who fell beneath her feet.
The massive axe was no longer in her hands.
「U-Urgh…」
Bosgin vomitted large amount of blood from his mouth.
It was obvious that one attack had inflicted severe wounds on him, leaving him on the verge of death.
His right foot and left arm broke due to the impact of his landing and Kotone’s attack.
「I’ve long since prepared to kill humans. Now tell me your true goal. How much do you know about 《Red Authority Cane》? And where is that item right now?」
「S… S…」
Bosgin’s mouth let out a frail voice.
Kotone brought her ear closer to hear it more clearly.
「As expected, you really are to my liking.」
Bosgin spoke with a low voice that wasn’t that much different from before.
But, his intonation and speech was clearly different from before.
Kotone frowned upon hearing the bizarre changes.
Bosgin’s eyes closed slowly, his huge arms then suddenly punched at Kotone.
It was the kind of power that she couldn’t imagine coming from someone on the verge of death.
The sheer force sent Kotone flying behind but she regained her posture and landed on her feet immediately.
「You still have that much power to resist eh…」
Bosgin stretched his arm that should’ve been broken, and cracked his neck.
「Fuuh… This is much better actually. I’m really troubled since this puppet is way too fragile.」
He said so with an effeminate voice that sent chills running down into Kotone’s spine as the one with normal sexual orientation, and then looking around.
「I guess this place is safe from privy eyes. Ghost Magic, 11th Rank 《Puppet Coffin》」
Black magic circle appeared around Bosgin.
Three coffins then appeared from the black magic circle that appeared in the air.
「E-Eleventh rank!?」
Kotone couldn’t hide her shock.
Kotone herself had rich combat experience after she arrived in this world.
Thanks to the power of 《Gift Skill》, none of the otherworlder could escape from the god’s privy eyes.
They’re fated to get involved in all kinds of troubles.
Feeling disgusted by those constant watchful eyes, Kotone retired for a while from adventurer business to get a brief vacation, away from battle.
But then, even if the other party is a 《Humanoid Dragon》, the limit of magic he could use should be 10th rank, the user of 11th, or 12th rank very rarely appears.
In that regard, though Bosgin’s danger level was almost equal to 《Humanoid Dragon》 thanks to his organization, the way he could easily invoke such magic without any kind of preparation made him even weirder in Kotone’s eyes.
Not to mention that she never heard the rumor about Bosgin being able to use such high ranking magic.
「So you did not become the leader of those sneaky thieves with your physical strength alone.」
The three black coffins rattled noisily in the air.
「Well then… Here I come, Kotone-chan.」
Bosgin lickied his lips… With eyes that are devoid of light.
