Chapter 9: The Incident 2

After Aurelian kicked Claris one more time, he heads toward Ludi with long strides. When he was about to reach his hand out toward her, I jumped out from my hiding spot.

First, I aimed for the skinhead man. I picked up a nearby table with Third Hand and threw it at him.

The time when a glassware on top of the table I threw broke was the exact moment Aurelian rip away Ludi’s skirt. They were occupied with other things so their reactions were delayed.

Several people were blown away by the table. I keep running to Ludi while using my Fourth Hand (Left Stole) to pick up a table and throw it at the place where the suited men gathered.

“Who-..!, Argh!”

Before they could finish their sentence they were already blown away. On the way I picked up the collapsed Claris with Third Hand then switch to princess carrying her while hardened Third Hand to block the incoming bullets.

“Kuh.”

I felt the shock on my head and intense pressure on my neck.

Seems like I wasn’t able to kill all the shock. Third Hand was able to block multiple bullets but it seem like one got through and hit my head.

(If I didn’t have this muffler I would probably already be dead.....)

I seriously swung my Fourth Hand at the stunned Aurelian’s face with full intention to smash his jaw into pieces.

“GyaaaaaaaaA”

I spread my Third and Fourth Hands while shifting Claris to one of my hands and pick Ludi up with another. After I got hold of them all I covered all three of us by sending large amount of magic power into the spreaded out stole and hardens it to form a shield.

Bullets kept raining on the stole. I can hear countless bullets pounding on it but the stole didn’t budge even slightly. It seem like they won’t be able to breakthrough. However, I’m clearly aware that I am still at a disadvantage.

I take my eyes off the stole and look at both of them.

Ludi is staring at me stunned as if she was confused while Claris’s body is all tattered but it seems she still able to hold on to her consciousness.

Now, what can I do with these two? I am not even confident that I can get away alone in the first place.

“You, can you use restoration magic?”

I ask Ludi who is currently in my right arm, Her body shook from surprise and shake her head sideways.

“I see......”

As I thought. She is a mage specialized in long range attack magic and couldn’t use restoration magic. Of course, neither can I. By obtaining an item in mid-game and clear a certain event, Ludi and I would be able to use restoration magic but It couldn’t be helped since I don’t have it now.

I felt my back getting slightly hotter. It seems they tried using fire magic this time. The stole is still holding somehow but I want them to stop it soon. I don’t know how durable this stole shield is, but I don’t want to gamble on it while taking these attack without doing anything.

No, considering current situation I have no choice but to gamble, huh.

It might be able to withstand all of their attack but If my magic power ran out first it will be the end. I still have plenty left but if it did ran out these shield will just turn into a simple cloth and I will be defenseless.

But, I still can’t go on the offensive. The reason being.

“.......To think that there is such a defect like this, what should I do.”

I didn’t think about it before, but when using the stole circular form to cover us, I can’t see what’s in front of me at all.

The stole wall is indeed sturdy. However, using the stole to shield us from damage also block our field of vision. It’s like spreading a huge black umbrella in front of you.

If it is something like a vinyl umbrella, I would be able to see through it though.

No, but...conversely speaking they also can’t see the situation on our side. This moment might be perfect to come up with some plans. We need to come up with something to take them down by surprise............

But what should I do? Even If I come up with a plan, the attack magic I could use are only Third and Fourth Hands. I still haven’t practiced much on other magics yet. To take them on I would either have to approach them or find something to throw at them. But if I do that..........

I take my eyes off the stole and look at the two. I face Ludi who is looking at me with an uneasy eye.

If I go on the offensive here, these girls will be in danger. If I can remotely activate the stole shield then there wouldn’t be a problem...Wait a minute.

I lightly shake Claris’s body in my arm.

“Hey you, I beg you please lend me your power!”

“Uuu..........Ugh”

Ludi said a while ago that Claris known as the iron wall. It meant that she could use shield magic. By having her protect Ludi, the situation will completely change.

She slowly opens her mouth with a painful expression.

“Uu...you, who, are you...”

I clicked my tongue. There is no time to answer such question. What would happen if a magic get through the shield on my back ? A bad premonition seep into my mind and my frustrations gathered.

“Sorry but I don’t have time to do a self introduction. Just answer me, Yes or No. Can you cast a magic to protect yourself from those guys?

“......Gyaaa”

I strongly shook Claris’ body, her expression turns into that of agony. Does she has a broken bone somewhere? Damn, I shouldn’t carelessly move her, but regretting it now is too late.

“Claris!”

Ludi look anxiously at Claris, then when Claris look back at her and said

“I, think I can, use..it, but not for..long.”

“Then I will leave it to you. And don’t move, just play dead and silently cast the magic.”

Then I turn to Ludi

“You, act like you were using shield magic, gather your magic and pretend to cast [Aegis]. You have to shout out the magic name, but it is only pretending. What you will actually cast is a blind spell.”

Ludi took her eyes off Claris and look at me with an uneasy eye.

“Blind ?”

“Yes, that’s right. At least you can use [Flash], right? Just a moment is fine. Leave the rest to me.”

Sorry but I will have them act as decoys. What they will aiming for right now are Ludi and Claris without a mistake. They wouldn’t aim at an unknown like Takioto Kousuke.

That’s why the first thing they will aim at will be those girls. Some might come at me but it would probably be only a few.

And while she tricked them that she is casting a shield magic the flash spell will activate. I can only hope that this will go well.

“Okay, let’s do it.”

“Eh, Umm....”

Her words seem like she beware of me.

“What is it? We are in a hurry you know.”

Ludi didn’t say anything. She is making an uneasy face while looking at my arm.

“...!?”

Soft, exceptionally soft. When I noticed it, the warmth of their skin travel though my palm and I became conscious of it. Their bodies and mine are completely in close contact with each other. I can even feel their rough breath.

I haven’t noticed until now, but apparently I have been holding on to them. If I move my hand up a little bit it would touch her small but firm.............

“Sorry.......”

I hurriedly let go and make a small cough.

“Okay, just to confirm. At the moment I went out you will cast a shield magic. But you will pretend to be the one that cast it and when they shot all of their magic at you, cast the blind spell with light magic, understood? Sorry, but we have to start soon. In ten.”

When I said that Claris immediately moved. I can tell that she is muttering something and casting her magic.

“Ten, nine, eight.........”

Ludi also gathering her magic power.

“Seven, Six, Five........”

I also start preparing to transform my stole and laid Claris down to make it look like she is already dead.

“Four, Three, Two......”

I grab Ludi’s arm to make her stand up, then..

“ONE, LUDI, DEPLOY THE SHIELD NOW ! ! !.”

I shout out loud while she stood up.

“AEGIS!!”

At the same time that the light attribute shield was deployed I release the enchantment spell from my stole. I then confirm my surrounding. It seem like they were spreading out and not gathered at the same place. They were confused at my charge for a moment but the skinhead soon giving out his order.

“Aim for the Trefle!”

As expected, they aimed at Ludi who is from Trefle family. But the guy closest to me is pointing his gun at me.

I immediately spread out Fourth Hand to defend and proceed to beat him with Third Hand. Just then the room was covered in a blinding flash. Seem like Ludi casted her blind magic. There is one guy wearing sunglasses so I caught him with Fourth Hand and send him flying.

“GyaaaAAA”

I blow away the man who was looking after Aurelian while using Third Hand to form a shield. By blocking the incoming bullets and sweep them off their feet, I somehow able to beat the last guy.

I threw table and stuff at them to make sure that they couldn’t move. I hurriedly gather them all together then I took the nearby tablecloth, put it over their head and use large amount of my magic power to harden it by applying my enchantment magic.

This should do.

While sighing, I moved my eyes toward Ludi, and I unintentionally gulped. (This is bad, come to think of it, her skirt was torn away, right?.)

What appeared in my sight was Ludi with an “unladylike” appearance.

Maybe she noticed my gaze, her face is turning bright red and she is moving her hand to cover her skirt. But she couldn’t hide her white panties with a cute amber colored ribbon adorning it.

It is an underwear that go well with her white skin and it doesn’t feel like the underwear itself is too cute for her. And it is slightly.... No, I will stop thinking.

“Don’t look! Please Don’t look.”

Th, That’s right. Why have I been staring at her ?!

I took my eyes away from the red face Ludi who seem like she is about to cry and looking for something in panic. But what I found was a torn-down remain of her skirt. It seem like I unnecessarily increased her shame to another level. No, there is a stole wrapping around my neck isn’t it?

I hurriedly took it off and averting my eyes while quickly walking over to her.

“Ah.”

Was it because I look at the ceiling while walking or maybe it because I was a little fluttered and I stepped on a plate making me slipped over.

Then.

“Kya”

I fell face first but there wasn’t much pain.

On the contrary though....

Boing. I felt something soft and warm in my hand....both hands actually. On my right, there is a little stiffness but it still soft enough to bring me happiness, there is something on a tip too though. From the other hand I felt a very soft elastic feeling like touching a wavy pudding..... What’s this, I moved my hand again to confirm.

“Aaa, Kyaaaaaa!”

“Waaaaaaaa!”

The two girls ring through my ears. Then I finally noticed what I have been touching.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

What I am currently grasping is Ludi’s chest and Claris’s butt. I look at Ludi’s beet red face and immediately let go. I jumped up and threw my stole toward her lower body and start dashing.

“S,S,s,Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”
