Be Careful of Heavenly Eyes Girl

Translated by Omkar

You’ve got to be kidding me.

The pursuers with the appraiser have identified the carriage.

My ‘appraisal’ skill is too special to ever be known.

Moreover, it is.

The woman I’m with. This is a very serious matter.

Even I know Marianne Verdemion, the world-famous genius swordswoman.

She’s not much older than me, but they call herthe “heir to the will of the hero.”

There is a great sword on her back that was once used by a swordsman second only to the brave Earth Drago, and it is a venerable and expensive item.

She has two unique skills.

It may not seem like much for someone with this much fame, but one of them is just too outrageous.

It is said that he has a very rare unique skill called “Heavenly Eyes” with three “super” at the beginning, which is said to have been possessed by a legendary hero.

=====
Heavenly Eyes: B

The ability to see through the essence of events.

At Rank B, the user has a complete understanding of the essence of a skill at a glance and knows how to best master it, as opposed to a systematized skill based on accumulated knowledge and experience.

It can also predict movement based on the target’s situation and provide an instant response.
======

Yeah, I don’t know!

But maybe this means that I can spot weaknesses and such with just one look.

I can’t do any special moves in front of her, can I?

In addition, it has an effect similar to my “Appraisal” rank EX.

I can read their thoughts and predict their movements, but she can make a comprehensive judgment based on their eyes and body movements, and instantly take action.

In other words, I can anticipate her actions, but she can read my movements and deal with them.

I can read my opponent’s abilities and become stronger, but our abilities are exactly the same.

This won’t end if we fight. ……

No, there was another strong uncle, and if I took on him at the same time, I’d be stuck.

We’ll get caught.

I carried Sylphy in my arms and ran down the alley.

I was reading the abilities of Clara, who is running alongside her. I knew this girl was very athletic. She’s going faster than I normally would.

“Wait, please!”

Geez, she’s catching up to something.

She sounded desperate, but no one is stupid enough to wait when told to wait.

I didn’t look back and just kept running.

If I could get to the main street, I might be able to escape in the crowd.

I believed it, and here I was, on the main street.

There were many people, but there were gaps.

That’s the ability of a wild child who has been running through the forest. We weaved our way through and passed through a square with a fountain.

With the fountain at our side, we decided to take the other side of the street and head out of the city.

The carriage was a waste of money, but I had no choice.

As I was thinking about this, I was about to pass by a large rock with a sword stuck in it.

“Please wait”

Bang!

There was a loud noise behind me, right?

“I’m telling you!”

With a thud. Marianne’s red armor creaked and she came down!

We braked in panic. Did she fly through the air? No, she flew over us. Well, anyway.

“Are you even human?”

“Hmmm, since this is my appearance I don’t mean to say “to a young lady”, but it is a little sad to hear you say that.”

Oh, no. I made her feel disappointed that she wasn’t treated like a girl. I didn’t treat her like a person in the first place.

But she’s really beautiful when you see her up close.

It’s a different direction from the doll-like cuteness of Sylphy. She is a dignified beauty.

She’s two years older than me, 17.

Although you can’t see it because it’s hidden by her armor, but she seems to have something as magnificent as Clara.

This is not good. I can’t stop my heart from pounding. Could it be that this is love?

Joking aside, it’s times like this when I need to keep my cool.

I set Sylphy down gently and read her situation deeply.

Marianne came after me alone. The strong man is waiting at the inn, and the appraiser is not here to contact his friends.

Okay, good.

I had gotten used to using “Appraisal” and was able to quickly display the information I needed.

She is the owner of the “Heavenly Eyes”.

If she and I were to fight, it would inevitably be a long battle. In the meantime, there was a danger that a helper would arrive.

But. But!

Hahahaha, she’s got one hell of a weakness!

‘I’m afraid of cats.’

In addition to her cute weakness, she seems to be a fastidious young lady who “hates to be touched by others”.

(Well, not exactly a cat, but still.) I’m going to taunt Clara, and when she’s scared, I’m going to finish her off.

Okay, let’s do this.

By the way, she has a status item called [Caution] that the others don’t have, I wonder what it is?

“Don’t let the cat near you.”

“Don’t touch it directly.”

…… Does that mean my plan is no good?

What happens if you do that? Could it be related to a unique skill other than “Heavenly Eyes”?

The moment I thought, I got my answer.

…………….. Yeah, this is a bad thing to do.

I was terrified and unknowingly put my hand on the sword that Musashi had given me at the waist.

Then she said–

“Please don’t draw your sword. I didn’t come here to fight. Oh, that’s right. You’re afraid you’ll be captured, aren’t you? Don’t worry. I have no intention of doing so.”

Hmm? I twisted my head, and when I carefully read her intentions.

This person knows that the fake priest I killed was the great bandit Hegel Oys.

The reason she came after me was to find out the circumstances and motive behind my murder.

Apparently, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. To be more precise, the misunderstanding is completely resolved if I talk to her properly.

But that didn’t mean I wanted to work with her.

I didn’t want the appraiser who was with me to find out about my abilities.

“First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Marianne Verdemion, Vice Commander of the Knight of the Red Phoenix. And you are Mel Rylut, right?

“That’s right” What do you do when Clara answers!”

I was holding my head in my hands.

Clara suddenly shouted.

Sylphy is in panic.

Marianne’s face stiff up in response to the cat-like girl.

She’s really scared of cats, isn’t she?

Well, there you have it.

If we can clear up the misunderstanding, it’s definitely better to talk to him and make him understand.

Let’s end the conversation quickly and concisely and say, ‘Well, that’s it for us.”

Oh, this is kind of smart, isn’t it?

I explained about the murder of the priest, hiding my “appraisal” skills and the identity of Sylphi.

“I see, I understand.”

Marianne smiled at me. But this person didn’t understand me at all!

“Let’s go back to the inn for a formal interview. It’s just a formality, it won’t take long.”

“I want to know what his unique skills are,” it says in the translucent window.

You’ve got to be kidding me. This is an invasion of privacy.

But she’s a basically nice person. More to the point, she’s sincere and trustworthy.

Even if you don’t tell her the details of the situation, if you say, ‘I don’t want them to know about my unique skills,’ I don’t think she will pursue you.

“Um…”

That’s when I made up my mind and tried to be frank.

“I found him.”

I was interrupted by a hoarse male voice.

I turned my head to the side.

There was a demon.

A tall man with two horns on his head.

Bounty hunter, Musashi-San …….

 

“I didn’t know you were the Priest Killer. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to restrain you. Oh, I won’t tell you not to resist, so you can resist as much as you want.”

Musashi-San crossed his arms in front of him and grasped his sword in each hand.

Marianne hurriedly intervened.

“Wait a minute. This boy is–”

“Whoa, I don’t know where…………….. you are, knightly lady, if you’re going to get in my way–too!”

Musashi-San kicked the cobblestones.

Even though I haven’t used any skills, I’m thinning to Marianne at a tremendous speed.

“Hey, can we talk–?”

“No questions asked!”

The glittering white blade flicked the sun.

Not good, this guy.

‘I know the situation by secretly eavesdropping, but I’m thinking that I should pretend I don’t know because it’s a unique opportunity to fight with the “heavenly eye” possession. ‘

What should I do now?

But this is actually an opportunity, isn’t it?

I told Marianne what I could tell her. At least she took me seriously and trusted me.

There’s no reason for us to stay here anymore.

If possible, I’d like to send Sylphy back home as soon as possible.

If that’s the case, just run away while they’re fighting.

That’s right, run away…….

I was admiring the battle between the two side.

Clang!

Two crashing sounds echoed simultaneously.

One was the sound of Marianne’s slash being repelled.

The other was the sound of my sword and Musashi’s sword colliding.
