Volume 7 Chapter 427 - Playing with the Enemy
"Whatever! What is this place?" Bete asked after seeing the battles happening around the red crystal being coiled around by a much larger plant monster, "Several forces are jumbled together…? And the pantry? What\'s that? A new monster?" Bete then faced Lefiya, "I\'ll buy you some time. In the meantime, you get rid of those man-eating flowers."
As Lefiya started casting, the Violas also gathered their attention to her while Bete and Filvis started intercepting them. One of the suicide bombers managed to creep up on them and a shouted warning came from the Hermes Familia, "Hey! Be careful! He\'s…"
But before Lulune could finish her sentence, Bete casually turned around and kicked the man in the face, sending him flying and exploding in the air, "You\'re too slow." Bete muttered.
And this time, Lefiya managed to finish her chant and is ready to fire off her magic, \'What magic power!!!\' Meryl thought and warned everyone, "E-everyone, run away!!!"
With her warning, everyone from the Hermes Familia found a hiding place, "Fusillade Fallarica!" Using almost all of her magic power, Lefiya managed to annihilate all the Violas crawling on the surface.
"You\'re… Lefiya, right!?" Lulune shouted after she came out of her hiding place and came running to them.
Lefiya turned to the voice and exclaimed, "Uh… Lulune-san!? Why are you here?"
But Bete intercepted Lulune\'s approach and grabbed her collar, "Hey, where\'s Ais!? Answer me!"
Due to the pressure coming from him, Lulune couldn\'t help but shake, but she still did her best to answer, "T-the Sword Princess was with us, but she got separated."
"Huh? Separated?"
Seeing her chance, Lulune immediately pleaded, "Besides that, please, help us." She then pointed towards the tamer that Yoruichi has been tossing around all this time, "I bet that guy over there knows what\'s wrong with this place and also about the man-eating… flowers…?" As Lulune turn around, she was gobsmacked at what\'s happening to the tamer that her voice trailed off at the end of her sentence, "She… she\'s playing with him?"
While Bete, Lefiya, and Filvis were dealing with the Violas, Yoruichi was dealing with the tamer. Each time the tamer would throw an attack, Yoruichi would only redirect his attack and would use his own force to toss him around which resulted in a very infuriated man, "You bitch!!!"
He couldn\'t understand why this is happening, he can tell that her basic parameters are only of a Level 3 at most, but as if she\'s predicting the future, she would already have a response to whatever action he did and what\'s weirder is that each time his attack fails, the strength behind it would be sent back to him. Aside from the infuriation and confusion, fear also started crawling towards his mind and stressing him out.
When Yoruichi noticed that they are already done on the other side, she called out, "Hey, wolfie! Stop bullying the girl and deal with this guy. The Sword Princess should be fine."
Bete was startled and woken up from his stupor when he was called. Although he witnessed something ridiculous and didn\'t really know how to react to that, he still acted tough, "A-aren\'t you doing fine!?"
"Don\'t be ridiculous. This guy is at least a Level 5! A Level 2 like me has no way of hurting him! (Without revealing more than this.)" Yoruichi replied as she dodged the tamer\'s attack.
\'You\'re the ridiculous one here!!!\' Bete, Lefiya, and Filvis simultaneously thought while the Hermes Familia thought they were hearing a bad joke, \'A Level 2? Could you not tell such an obvious lie?\'
"Hey! What\'s the holdup!? I can play with this guy all day, but I\'m a busy woman. I can\'t do that!" Yoruichi urged Bete as she separated from the tamer.
\'You can do this all day!?\' They did their best to not shout this out in fear that they are the weird ones in this situation.
The tamer too doesn\'t know what\'s going on, but he would rather deal with Bete Loga instead of this unknown Adventurer who he can\'t figure out so he also separated from her.
Scratching his head, Bete finally agreed. He figured he can\'t leave it her alone and it would be much better, with her speed, to help with the rescue, "Tch, it\'s a bother, but, I\'ll do it. We still need to find Ais, however, I don\'t like that guy\'s eyes." He then dashed towards the tamer who\'s already waiting for him and given up on chasing the strange woman.
The tamer called for more Violas to distract everyone and clashed with Bete. Finally, he can show his true strength and everyone can finally witness a proper fight between First-Classes.
"Iya~. There they go~. I wanted to have a proper fight too, but there are too many eyes around." Yoruichi mutters to herself while she watches the two clash with each other.
A second later, Aika and Koneko both came to her with shining eyes, "That was so cool~! How did you do that?" Aika asked excitedly.
"I want to learn that too!" Koneko said with the same excitement.
"For you to do that, you still need a lot more experience. There are no shortcuts to it as that kind of skill requires various prerequisites." Yoruichi answered them while patting their heads, "Good job on holding him back, by the way. Let\'s go to Sona\'s side first."
The three went to Sona and Asfi\'s side while annihilating the Violas on the way. When they arrived, Asfi could already stand up and was getting ready to assist everyone, "Yo, Sona. Good work." Yoruichi greeted.
"Yoruichi. Thank you for coming." Sona smiled happily.
"Stop that. No thanks are needed. Though, only I could come since the other three were busy, especially Kisuke."
"We understand. However, allow me to express it just this one time. Also, we\'re sorry that we got dragged into this problem."
Yoruichi patted the overly serious girl\'s head, "Stop it, stop it. Didn\'t Kisuke already tell you that you can do whatever you want? The rest of us also think the same. By the way, do you plan to get involved all the way?"
Aika, Koneko, and Sona looked and nodded at each other. Sona then faced Yoruichi again, "Yes. We already got involved. We want to see through this conspiracy until the end. We also want our own Adventure."
Yoruichi smiled, \'This will be a valuable experience for everyone. And they should also realize how heavy their decision is down the road.\' She then took a glimpse at a certain corner of the pantry, \'I planned to catch Filvis\'s other half, but for our girls, I\'ll let you off for now.\'
"Well then, the battle isn\'t over yet. Go and assist the others. Make sure no one gets killed. We can get some compensation from them later~." Yoruichi shoved them away.
Sona, Aika, and Koneko could only smile wryly, \'She\'s the closest to Kisuke, alright?\'
Asfi who had been listening all along only got confused, \'But I can at least tell that this Yoruichi is acting as their superior, senior, and teacher. This weird Familia, where did they come from? How did they evade our radar until now?\'

28th00: I\'ve skipped the title this time. I expect some amazingly odd reactions to Bestia\'s Familia and their actions in this event and recent events soon!~ Especially how Bestia is a Virgin Goddess, but her entire Familia is the harem of her Captain… That part would be great. I expect a great number of her twintails floating menacingly when they ask her that one…
Goyya: And that will be the cause of great distress that will shake the whole Orario. Please look forward to it. ( ?° ?? ?°)
