95.VRUSTOS ALL OR NOTHINGCHARGE

Good grief, ojou-chan really got me surprised there.

Vrusto sighed.

Your smell went on through the Barusak residence after all. There is some smell of blood mixed in. Did you fight someone there?

His tone of voice was nonchalant, but the mood wrapping around him was one of seriousness. With his glint on his eyes sharp, he was glaring at Riku.

This is against the orders, you know? Who was it you had to kill for you to go your way escape on your own like that?

Without giving any response, Riku silently fixed her hold on the halberd.

Disobeying orders was an act that disarranged military order. Therefore, it was given a proportional punishment to the transgressors. In Rikus case, it wasnt weird even if she was to be claimed as having fled to human territory after going against her orders. (TL note: Not sure about the first line)

The punishment for deserting was the heaviest. It was death sentence.

It wouldnt be weird if Vrusto had come to kill her.

Hey, hey. Wont you explain, ojou-chan?

Riku narrowed her eyes and watched his attitude.

There were no openings in his posture. However, for some strange reason, there were no signs there would be an attack coming. After pondering about for a while, Riku opened her lips, which before were tightly shut.

It doesnt matter who it was. More importantly, is your business with me only that? I am in hurry here. Cant you move aside?

If possible, she wanted to avoid fighting him. There was no way she could exhaust her stamina here despite how the time of the decisive battle was approaching.

However, Vrusto snorted, as if sneering at her.

Thats a bit too much for a joke. By now, what is the point for ojou-chan to go after them by yourself?

It seems Vrusto wouldnt let her pass. Riku mentally clicked her tongue.

Vrusto had been together with her for ten years. Moreover, he was also her caretaker. It wasnt exaggeration to say he knew by heart about her habits in battle, personality or movement patterns.

However, this was the same for Riku. She learned her techniques from Vrusto and improved on them.

I wont know that unless I try it.

If Rikus memories were correct, the last time she dueled against him was at Sherr island. Killing time until their plan would unfold, they sparred against each other. At that time, it was difficult for Riku to beat Vrusto, who would hit right at her weak points. Fortunately, Riku won then, but now she had only one arm. The chances of her to be able to parry his attacks and cause fatal damage should be about half.

Therefore, once it became a serious fight It wouldnt be possible to take it lightly.

At the moment either side was to lose focus, there would be no hesitations The finishing blow would be dealt.

Ojou-chan, do you think you will be able to kill with with only one hand?

As if.

As she smiled, she was moving her horse.

With a slight of a combat stance, she leisurely approached Vrusto.(TL note: Im not sure how to translate that to ->
