Asuka of the Scarlet Sky

Chapter 7



Worlds Hero and the Treasure tool (2)

*kotsu kotsu*, footsteps of two people sounds in the pavement.

Fuaa. Its big and beautiful as always

While staring at the stonework at the depths of the corridor, Asuka dont even know how many times she sighed.

Thats true

Yuuto accompanies Asuka with one step back.

Trishulia1, the castle in the center of the imperial capital that soars the sky, its the biggest castle among the continent. Its impressive, even though Yuuto was used to seeing Japanese Buildings but, its his first time seeing this.

Today, theyre on an errand from the imperial squad, Yuuto and Asuka visited Trishulia castle.

Or perhaps should I say that the imperial squad isnt at the castle all the time

That seems like it. There are some aide thats always babysitting the princess but, the squad members are basically called only on times of emergency

While walking on the corridor in a steady pace, Yuuto said hmmm.. and he threw an answer to Asukas question. Actually, Yuuto and Asuka is called to the city for the appointment ceremony. That Yuuto and Asuka frowned and opened their mouth.

I mean, they already gave you an explanation about the appointment ceremony but, I did my best and raised you to be my spokesman

Ah. I slept that time

Yuuto answered blankly, Asuka squinted her eyes in shock. Even if I say it, it cant be helped, haaa, Asuka sighed.

Ah, thats right. This is just a talk about me. It may be wrong but, arent you just wasting your time?

Eh? Then, I didnt need to come dont I?

Asuka clapped her hand as if she remembered, Yuuto gave her a glare thats asking for explanation. Asuka laughed and made a posture telling that she forgot to deceive him.

You still dont trust me?

I-I cant help it!! I dont have actual combat experience after all!! Im the one who should be worried!!

Asuka pushed out her chest assuming a defiant attitude to Yuutos glare. Over the clothes, Asukas well shaped breast swayed.

You cant enter with your armor nor helmet. S-So right now this is all I have!

Asuka hid her chest with her arm quickly. For some reason shes embarrassed for this day, I see I see, Yuuto began to laugh at Asuka.

Ah, so you put it on? Im happy. It was my first time giving an accessory present for a woman

If it was your first time then what was that!?

*Gaan*2, Asukas ponytail swayed, Shes almost crying in shame.

It was the defensive tool that Yuuto specially made. If both rings are installed on Asukas nipples, it can null physical and magical attacks.

However, the effect hadnt been experienced actually. Thats why Asuka is anxious.

Geez, what a handful of a hero are you

Saying so, Yuuto extends his hand. That moment, a long narrow sparkling blueish white sword had appeared in Yuutos right hand in a flick.

Hii. What are you doing at times like this!?

Its to remove the uneasiness of Asuka-sama. This sword has a blade that can bisect up to atomic level, its equivalent to an A rank treasure tool. Even I dont even know what this can do

Setting up a smile, Yuuto proceeds to slowly set up the sword.

Eh? Wai. W-what!? A-atom? I dont understand it but thats dangerous

Yes. Its extremely dangerous. Here we go!?

*Shurari*, Yuuto aims the tip of the sword at Asukas neck.

Hi, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!?

Asuka raised a scream that didnt become a voice and her body stiffened.

Kiiiiiiiiin.

The moment the tip of the sword made a contact on Asukas neck, a beautiful sound reverbed.

A blade that should be able to bisect all things, it stopped on Asukas neck without even making a line of scratch in her skin.

F-fuee. I-Im not cut?

*Pakii*, in front of Asuka, Yuutos treasure tool made a noise and crumbled. Asuka dumbfoundedly looked at its state.

I did make that as a present for you that day right? Please trust me

Yuuto looked straight to Asukas face while her hands are shaking. To Yuutos expression, Asukas tension melted.

Y-Yuuto. As expected, youre a goooooooooooood guy!!?

The moment Asuka smile teary eyed, Asukas body jumped. Yuutos face changed to a smile.

Nn, Ah. W-whats this?

Its a bonus feature. It seems its effect is coming out properly

Yuuto explains with a refreshing smile while Asuka is bending her body.

That said, this isnt mean. Both are reacting. That means the attack earlier isnt just physical, but also has a magical power in it. As a result, you can know the attribute of the enemy attack

By the way, its an exceptional item to understand the strength and weaknesses of their power. That attack earlier was outrageous, Asuka herself experienced it first-hand.

Uuuu. Youre just being mean

*Piku Piku* Asukas trembling, she sent a hateful glare to Yuuto.

T-thats right. You, and Sasha

Eh, Did you say something?

Then, Asuka opened her mouth on this occasion. When her voice is about to come out, Yuuto mysteriously turned his ear.

N, Nnn. We should better buy souvenirs for Sasha when we go back

Ah, certainly. Should we buy something sweet on the way back?

They came to the capital after all. It would be a waste if its all work.

What do you think would please Sasha? Hearing Yuuto speak happily, Asuka smiled in return.

Now then, where should we wait?

Asuka was about to go and finish her business, Yuuto looked at the interior of castle restlessly. Investigating the interior of a castle filled with fantasy is charming but, that would be in Asukas case, Yuuto folded his arms wondering what to do. A souvenir for Sasha, the two of them should choose later.

At this time, having a telephone would be convenient

Yuuto muttered to himself. How to people wait in the old days? Yuuto tilted his head.

Well, try not stand out while loitering, Yuutos feet advanced for the time being.

Mu

Oops, Sorry

When hes about to turn to the hallway to the left, a shadow of a person appeared in Yuutos field of vision. They almost bumped to each other unintentionally, Yuuto bowed his head.

N? Youre?

Seeing the small shadow in front of him, Yuuto said Oh?

Ah. Err. Certainly. Risu, Risuka-san?

Risty

*Pikiri*, the person in front of him distorted her face in irritation. Seeing that, Yuuto clapped his hand as if he remembered.

Ah, thats right. Risty-san. No, I just heard it this morning. It slipped out from my mind

Arent you the follower of Asuka, Yuuto? Forgetting the name of the captain of your own squad, your must have a problem with your memory

To the girl who speaks with some harsh words, Yuuto scratched his head.

Yuuto lowers his gaze, so shes considerably small. Having a delicate appearance that you would think as a child at first glance, shes wrapped in a healthy looking brown skin.

A golden twintail growing to her shoulder reflects the light thats coming from the window.

Iyaa, sorry. I do think my memory is average though

Fun. Are you mistaking it for a monkeys average?

A baby face. Her beautiful face can be called that way, Risty made a incited expression. If she kept quiet she would be a beautiful girl, Yuuto looked at Risty like its a waste.

Well well. Dont ruin your cute face with anger, Captain Risty

Yuuto speaks as he tries to calm her down, Risty glared at him with scorn from the bottom of her heart.

Fun. Does a small fish have a place in this society? Perhaps you had swindled Asuka? Listen, I wont admit that youre in my squad

Yuuto reacted with a *Pikuri*3on Ristys words. Seeing that, Risty continued speaking to Yuuto.

The princess liked Asuka since shes capable. But, what about you? Youre in 908th in the Hero rankings. You barely passed to get a hero title, originally, youd better be put off as an imperial guard

Risty looked at Yuutos face while denouncing him. Her expressions is as if she making an anger vein.

Furthermore, most of your exploits are just Asukas leftovers right? Youre originally just a small fry even if you have a title of a hero. Am I wrong?

Yuuto became silent on Ristys words. Well, for Risty who dont know the actual circumstances its natural, Risty is looking down at Yuuto.

The silence continued for a short while. Yuuto didnt answer back, Risty exhaled from the bottom of her heart in irritation.

Fun, Say something. In other words, a trash like you just relies on Asuka in every way, in the end youre just a trash. The princess too is pleased with just a bitch, her eyes must be clouded

Yuuto decided top be silent, Risty kept spitting out insults. Then, she was about to leave when she finished talking.

Could you wait for a moment?

*Pirati*, Yuutos voice stopped Ristys footsteps. When Risty looked back, Yuuto had mad a grinning expression.

Hou. So you can smile like that

Could you take it back? Who said something like that?

With Yuuto spreading his right hand, Risty lifted her lips delightfully.

Atom Cutting sword.

Physical Attack: S Magical Attack: D Synthesis Rarity: A

Supplement: It can cut objects to atomic level. It has a powerful sharpness but its magical ability is at minimum. The durability is also low, regardless of Yuutos ability, it has a strength of an ordinary common iron.
