Chapter 29 - Mio Sneaky Attack

I took out my sword from the scabbard on my waist.

 I could feel a small vibration on the ground from the footsteps of the wolves running closer.

 Thanks to Mio's skill, Danger Sense, I could notice changes in airflow and my body's response to the surrounding conditions.

 "Eng? Its Stop?" The small vibration I felt suddenly stopped.

 I could feel sharp gazes watching me from a distance.

 I immediately responded to their gazes by looking back at their position.

 From a distance, I could see the bushes shaking and the sharp gazes I felt slowly diminished.

 "Ah, there you are," I muttered softly.

 "Um... Lily-sama?" Mio stood beside me. Seeing my hand holding the sword, Mio took out two small swords that were stored between her thighs.

 "A-Are we going to face something, Lily-sama?" Mio asked.

 "Mio, what are those swords?" I was a little curious about the two small swords in Mio's hands.

 "These? Em.. this is a tanto sword.. one of my random creations. A sword that is easy to carry and use in an emergency. If only I brought a katana, I wouldn't need to use this small sword. Besides being light and strong, the small size of the sword can be stored anywhere. For example, like this small sword sheath.." Mio showed her thighs that held a small sword sheath and was wrapped in the beauty of her smooth thighs.

 AH! I mean... There is a small storage place for knives and small swords.

 Judging from its shape, it looks like a small sword sheath and a disposable throwing knife. Disposable throwing knives are usually used to give additional wounds and make the enemy suffer stab wounds without thinking about taking them back.

 "Mio.. can I touch it?" I asked.

 "Touch it? Sure.. It's okay.. Hyaaa!!"

 I touched Mio's smooth thighs, I didn't think about this before. But, won't these knives scratch Mio's smooth thighs?

 "Mio? Isn't this dangerous for your skin?" I asked.

 "Hauuu~ Lily-sama.. please don't touch my thigh like that," Mio replied while holding back my hand between her thighs.

 Mio didn't answer my question and I was too busy observing the beauty of the weapon hiding in Mio's smooth thighs.

 "Good idea, I think I can use this between my clothes," I muttered softly.

 "Can I have one of these throwing knives, Mio?"

 "S-Sure..." Mio replied.

 I took a small knife and threw it into the row of eyes of the bushes that were still watching me from a distance.

 Swiiing!!

 Baaaam!!

 "L-Lily-sama??" Mio who noticed my small knife throw was very surprised when the bushes that were far in front of us exploded and several black wolf bodies were thrown out.

 Hmm.. it seems like my body has developed on the wrong track.

 I didn't know if my body was this strong, could this be a side effect of being a Saintess or the Linked ritual that I did before?

 Um.. for now. Let's stop that thought and focus on the problem in front of us.

 From a distance, I could see a black wolf running towards us.

 Swiiing!!

 Baaaam!!

 "Eh?! Eeh?! EEEHH!!" I could see Mio's shocked expression when she threw her small knife and ended up like the attack I did earlier.

 Em? Is there something wrong with Mio's body?

 Why did Mio suddenly become strong like this?

 "L-Lily-sama?! I-Is there something strange with my body? Why did my body become strong like this?" Mio said in a panicked tone and paid attention to her body condition.

 "Mio.. calm down.." when I was about to touch Mio's hand. Suddenly Mio's body gave off a fragrant aroma and the sight of scattered cherry blossom petals decorated my eyes.

 "WAAAAH!! I CAN DO IT?! IMPOSSIBLE!!" Mio's voice was heard far behind me.

 I immediately looked for the source of Mio's voice and the sight of cherry blossom petals covered my eyes again. Mio used Sakura Vanish and Sakura Dash to move in front of me and kiss my lips.

 "Hngg!!" Mio's kiss was a little more passionate than usual.

 I broke Mio's kiss and covered her mouth.

 "Mio, this isn't the time to-"

 "Humpf!!"

 Mio ignored my words and forced my lips to accept hers.

 Mio slowly broke away from her soft kiss and glanced at the line of wolves surrounding us.

 Um, doesn't this look very dangerous?

 But, why does Mio look so casual about this situation?

 "Lily-sama, isn't it time we do it?" Mio said while smiling at me.

 I didn't expect her to enjoy the remaining free time to kiss and let the black wolves surround us.

 "Mio.." I called Mio to tell her a little idea that came to my head.

 "Want to compete with me?" I asked.

 "Compete?" Mio answered in confusion.

 "Um! We'll compete on the number of black wolves that have been defeated."

 "W-Why do we have to compete?"

 "Um... it's okay. It's just, it's a bit boring if there's no goal, right?"

 "That's true, it'll feel ordinary if there's no goal other than defeating them."

 "Then, we'll compete for the prize.." I stopped my words to think about the prize.

 "What if the loser has to grant one wish to the winner?" I continued.

 "Ah! Really? Let's compete, Lily-sama!" Mio replied quickly.

 Is it just me or did Mio's eyes shine brightly after hearing the prize?

 "Um, Lily-sama.. If Mio wins, can Mio—"

 Uhm? Why is this?

 Mio suddenly lowered her voice and a blush adorned her cute face.

 "Um! That's fine... that the prize afteral!" I replied without knowing the context.

 "Really?! Um.. that's not a crime, right?" Mio asked.

 Wait a minute!

 What exactly was Mio thinking?

 "Ehehe~ I will try to get the prize, Lily-sama!" Hearing Mio's last answer. A fragrant aroma returned and cherry blossom petals filled my vision.

 "Hiyaaaa!"

 Slaaash!!

 I could hear the black wolves' screams of pain and Mio's spirit power chasing them.

 "Lily-sama.. I will win this match!" Mio said confidently.

 I immediately used Sakura Dash and Sakura Vanish to appear in the back row of the black wolves. After I was in their back row, cherry blossom petals fell around me and a fragrant aroma spread widely around me.

 "Sakura Taunt.." after I said that sentence, the black wolves' attention was drawn to me.

 It seemed that Sakura Taunt was a little excessive to attract the monster's attention.

 Several black wolves ran towards me. They jumped towards me while opening their fangs and swinging their claws aiming for my face.

 I reflexively swung my sword and felled four black wolves in one attack. My sword slash sliced ​​the black wolf's head and split it to the base of its body.

 Black blood dripped onto my clothes and a foul odor hit my nose.

 Tess...

 Pess...

 Ueek! Disgusting!

 Ugh! What is this smell?!

 Why is this black wolf's blood black and giving off a foul odor?

 "Urghk!!" I held back my nausea a little.

 Thinking back, Ciel seemed to know about the black wolf's dirty blood that needed purification.

 "Huuueee!! What is this foul odor!" From a distance, I could hear Mio's voice complaining after being splashed with the black wolf's blood.

 I don't want Mio's body to be damaged by this dirty blood.

 What should I do?

 If I'm not mistaken, I still have enough Yurification Points to get an attack that doesn't require physical contact.

 Urkk!!

 My head was a little dizzy and my stomach was a little nauseous because of this sudden foul odor so I used Sakura Vanish and Sakura Dash to get out of Sakura Taunt's range to a place that was a little calmer from the foul odor.

 [ Yurification Points +10,000! ]

 Eh? Why did I get Yurification Points in a condition like this?

 "Anoo.. L-Lily-sama.." Mio said.

 "Uwaaa!!" I was surprised because Mio suddenly appeared next to me.

 I observed Mio's expression as she held her nose tightly.

 Could it be that the stench of the dirty blood was too strong for Mio?

 "Ah, Mio.. Sorry... I got a little splashed with the black wolf's dirty blood and this smells bad."

 "Anoo.. Lily-sama.. please pay attention to the condition of your clothes," Mio said while pointing at my clothes.

 "Huh? What did you say, Mio?" I immediately observed the condition of my clothes.

 "Eh? EEEHHH!!" I was surprised after observing the condition of my messy clothes.

 The splash of dirty blood from the black wolf gave off a very pungent stench. However, one problem arose besides the pungent stench.

 The dirty blood was able to erode my clothes and reveal a small part of my body that was not covered by clothes.

 I immediately looked at Mio and realized something. Mio was covering her nose because of the small blood coming out of her nose.

 "Um... Mio.."

 "Y-Yes, Lily-sama?"

 Sraaaak!!

 I took off some of my clothes to protect my important body. Leaving my underwear slightly visible.

 I could see the blood flowing from Mio's nose that was getting heavier.

 "Mio, it's time to get serious," I said hatefully.

 Black wolf!

 I will not accept this insult!

 Forgiving you is not my job.

 But, sending you to the Goddess Hell is my job!
