“Tsk!” Claria clicked her tongue in response to how boosted the berserk demonized guardians get. She got chased by the two berserk demonized guardians while getting bombarded with magic spells, dodging all of the spells took all of her focus, leaving her no room to counterattack.
(I guess I have no choice, I need to use it!) (Claria)
“Azaline! I’m gonna use it!” (Geeta)
“Okay!” (Azaline)
(Use it?) (Claria)
Geeta raised her hand above, but something strange is in her raised hand.
It’s a card.
“Major arcana activate, [The Strength]!” (Geeta)
Following Geeta’s call, the card on her hand disappeared, while at the same time, a big blue card appeared on the Ground below Geeta. The card shone with a shining blue light.
“Owl princess! Here! Azaline! Cover!” (Geeta)
Without any doubt, Claria immediately dashes with all of her might towards Geeta’s direction. With the help of Azaline’s cover, none of the spells that the berserk demonized guardians sent towards Claria were able to hit her. All of them got blocked by Azaline’s magic arrows.
(Her accuracy is beyond compare!) (Claria)
“I don’t know what you’re planning, but I leave it to you!” said Claria as she finally flies past Geeta.
“Okay~ Just remember to pay me with lots of delicious owlfolk’s snacks later, ‘kay~” (Geeta)
With Claria passing Geeta, the closest target before the two berserk demonized guardians is Geeta. Realizing that, the two berserk demonized demons immediately changed their target and dashed towards Geeta.
Before getting into melee range, both of them sent the spells that they used when they’re chasing Claria before. But strangely, Geeta didn’t bother to dodge it, and Azaline didn’t shoot any of her magical arrows to block it either.
“W-What are you doing!?” (Claria)
“Hehehe~ Not that easy big owls~” (Geeta)
*WHOOSH!!!*
A pillar of blue light soars to the sky, surprising Claria and the two berserk demonized guardians. The light comes from the big blue card below Geeta, with the pillar of light with Geeta in the middle of it, Geeta’s figure completely gone. But at the same time, the projectile magic chanted by the two berserk demonized guardians got blocked by the pillar of blue light.
It all happened in a split second.
*BOOM!!!*
As if the two berserk demonized guardians got smashed by an invisible thing, the two berserk demonized guardians suddenly got buried to the ground.
Claria that had been staring at the scene in focus shocked as she couldn’t catch anything with her eyes. The two berserk demonized guardians just got smashed to the ground with a very powerful force that made them get buried for more than ten meters underground.
And before she notices, Geeta that supposed to be in the middle of the blue pillar of light is now standing beside Azaline.
(Since when did she?) (Claria)
Claria shifted her head and saw that the blue pillar of light that got emitted by the huge blue card on the ground had disappeared together with the card.
“Here, your snack,” Azaline take out a chocolate bar from her spatial bag and gave it to Geeta.
“Thanks~” Geeta took it and immediately ate half of it in one bite.
“Guess that settled it then. The guardians are stronger than I imagined…” (Azaline)
“True. I guess Corvus’s words are true, after all. It’s not like I don’t believe his words, though,” (Geeta)
(She’s strong! Without a doubt, she definitely did something towards that two demonized guardians. And I couldn’t catch her movements at all… So this is the people from Ren’s empire…?) (Claria)
Claria is still shocked by the unexpected end of the berserk demonized guardians. And to add that Azaline and Geeta acting as if nothing special happened made her realize how strong both of them are.
“Yeah. I guess it’s time to go help Ren and-” Just as Azaline is about to finish her sentence of helping Druid Oz and his familiars as she raises her head to see how the battle’s situation, the scene of countless corpses falling from the skies like a rain surprised her and made her stop her sentence.
Following Azaline’s and Geeta’s line of sight, Claria widened her eyes in surprise.
“R-Rain of corpses?” (Claria)
“I guess he won’t need our help, after all…” said Geeta with a wry smile imprinted on her face.
“Yeah…” (Azaline)
The demon’s corpses fall from the sky, crashing to the trees and the ground. The scenery should be very horrific, but for the three of them, what catches their attention is not the rain of corpses, but the figure that gracefully descends to the ground on top of the sky king, Corvus.
“Looks like the three of you had finished your battle as well,” said Druid Oz as he jumps off Corvus’s back.
“Of course~” Geeta proudly raises her greatsword.
“Corvus. The guardians’ strengths are as strong as you mentioned them, that’s very surprising,” (Azaline)
“Of course, my queen! To be able to defeat those guardians that even got a further boost in their strength, as expected of the queens of the empire!” (Corvus)
“Geez~ Aren’t you getting too good at flattering, you little birdy~” (Geeta)
“Well, the battle unfold as what I expected it to be. It’s a good exercise for your tarot major arcana card as well. And the battle gave me a good estimate of the opponents we will be facing in the future as well, good job, all of you,” Praised Druid Oz.
Unlike Corvus’s praise, Druid Oz’s praise deals huge damage towards the three girls’ maiden hearts. Even Geeta blushed when Druid Oz praised them, forcing her to look at the other side to hide her embarrassment.
“Hmph! Sending us to such a dangerous situation right after saving us…” said Azaline as she weakly punched Druid Oz’s chest.
“Thanks…” Azaline muttered in a very small voice, but of course, Druid Oz managed to hear it.
Looking at Azaline’s cute reaction made a smile imprinted on Druid Oz’s face.
“O-Of course we do! You better give me lots of snacks and food later!” said Geeta as she approached Druid Oz as well.
“Yes, yes. I’ll give you delicious food when we arrived at my home. Good job, good job,” Druid Oz pats the heads of both of them.
“Hehehe~” Geeta openly show her happiness because of the pat while Azaline blushed even more while a big smile could clearly be seen on her face.
Claria watched the three of them from behind. She wanted to approach Druid Oz and get pat by him as well, but somehow, her legs freeze and she couldn’t muster any strength to move forward.
It felt strange, all this time, she always been the one who takes the active role, taking any steps to be closer to Druid Oz as a romantic interest. She never stops taking a step because of embarrassment, and she believes that she still won’t stop because of it in the future. But this time, as she saw the scene before her, she felt something different.
It’s a strange sensation, a strange feeling. It’s the first time she felt it.
The loneliness that haunts the heart.
It hurts, she didn’t like it.
Even though she doesn’t really got discarded by Druid Oz, she still couldn’t shake off the feeling she’s feeling. The fear of rejection.
In short, an inferiority complex.
The first girl is an elf, and not just an elf, she’s a queen. Despite coming from the race that is famous in the world for its beauty, she’s a queen. Her slender body, her elegance, her noble vibe, and her beauty is genuine. Not only that, her skills in the bow are incomparable.
On the other side, even though she’s a goblin, her beauty is not inferior to the elf queen. And judging from how Corvus the sky king mentioned her, she must be a queen as well, the queen of goblins. Even though the vibe she’s emitting is not as noble as Azaline, her cheerful and frank attitude gives off a different charm. And Claria witnessed her strength with her own eyes as well.
(The both of them are perfect matches for Ren. They’re as magical as the others) (Claria)
In Claria’s eyes, the man called ‘Ren’ is someone that is far greater than her grandpa and her father that she had been admired since she’s a child. Looking at such a heroic figure that turns out to be similar in age as she made the pure girl easily fell in love with him.
But now that two more suitable heroines than her appeared before her, she couldn’t help but feel that she’s not suitable to be at his side.
(I guess I’m not-) (Claria)
“Claria,” A gentle voice entered Claria’s ears, clearing the disordered thoughts inside her mind.
“Let’s go home,” said the voice as he extends his warm hand.
“Yes!”
