s like this, is even stronger…” (Chake)
Kuzuhara and Chake looked at me and Shiki with expressions of amazement.

“Unfortunately, I’m not that strong.
However―” (Komon)
Suddenly, the upper body of one of the lamias, who should have already been cut in two, came pouncing at me.

―Swish!

I drew my favorite katana―[Sakuranami-hime], and slashed the approaching lamia upper body right down the middle.

“I can do this much, at least.” (Komon)
“”……….””
It seemed that my strength was once again out of their expectations as they stared at me in mute amazement.

“Milady, that was splendid.
However, this one must apologize for not finishing it off earlier.” (Shiki)
“Fufu, no problem.
Either way, you were ready to kill it at any time, weren’t you?” (Komon)
Even if I hadn’t drawn my katana, it was clear that Shiki would have immediately taken action.
But because I had already moved, he respected my decision and stayed his hand.

“But to think they can continue to move after being cut in half… Such surprising vitality.” (Komon)
“Yes.
But next time, it’ll be different.
It will be fine as long as this one dices them into small pieces so they will never be able to move again.” (Shiki)
What a terrifyingly reliable Familiar.
I’m looking forward to your continued support in the future.

“You guys… especially Shiki, are on an entirely different level, huh?” (Kuzuhara)
He must have understood just how skilled Shiki was from those movements just now.
He was an opponent that no one could possibly fight against without a weapon.
Even if they had guns, he had such fast reaction speed that he could see all of the bullets and avoid them, and his carapace was incomparably harder than a human’s defenses.

“Even still, you’re really strong, Komon.
But I won’t lose to you.” (Kuzuhara)
Kuzuhara struck his fists against each other to show his fighting spirit.
Come to think of it, I had never seen what level of strength he had.
He seemed strong in a fight, but probably only in terms of human limits of strength.

“Oh right, there’s something I haven’t told you yet.
It’s always been us being surprised up ’til this point, but it’ll be your turn this time.” (Kuzuhara)
Surprised? It surely wouldn’t come close to being as shocking of an existence as Sol or Shiki.
But he seemed to be confident in himself, so I found myself somewhat interested.

“Perfect timing.
I’ll take care of those pig goblins wandering around over there.” (Kuzuhara)
I looked over in the direction of his gaze and saw an orc.
And it wasn’t just an ordinary orc, but a blue orc, a type of higher species.
Their entire body was blue, and they were a size larger than ordinary orcs.
They were D-Rank, by the way.

“That one is stronger than goblins and ordinary orcs.
Are you planning to take it on alone?” (Komon)
It was about as strong as those lamias, and it had overwhelmingly more pure strength than an ordinary human.
By the looks of it, Kuzuhara hadn’t brought anything like a weapon. Is he really planning to take it on barehanded?

“Of course.
A 1v1 is what a fight is all about! Well, just watch me.” (Kuzuhara)
While saying that, he approached the blue orc with an imposing demeanor.

“….No helping it, I guess.
Shiki, be ready to support him at any time.” (Komon)
“Yes, as milady commands.” (Shiki)
As long as Shiki was on guard, the worst case scenario wouldn’t come to happen.
Even still, where does his confidence even come from…?

Noticing Kuzuhara approaching, the blue orc gripped the axe in its hand tighter and began to charge at him while breathing heavily through its nose.
In terms of physique, the blue orc was over two times larger.
It didn’t look like he would normally stand a chance in a close-quarters brawl, but…

Kuzuhara showed no signs of shrinking back, widening his stance as if he was planning to receive the blue orc’s attack head-on.

Hey, hey, don’t tell me you’re not planning to dodge?!

No matter how you looked at it, it was way too reckless.
Even I wouldn’t be able to block the head-on attack of a blue orc barehanded.

“Gigyyaaaahh!”
The blue orc brandished the axe in its right hand and swung it down towards Kuzuhara’s head.

Just as I was about to order Shiki to cut off its arm―

“―!” (Kuzuhara)
Kuzuhara unleashed a beautiful thrust with his fist.
But the reach wasn’t enough.
The fist didn’t look like it would reach at all, and from an onlooker’s perspective, it just looked like a foolish attempt.

―However.

“Guuuugyyaa?!”
Suddenly, the blue orc was sent flying from the place where it stood.
