Hesitation?

But...

Yuuya used the flat side of the blade hitting Iris in her flank and sending her flying more than 1 km as she rolled on the ground.

"GAHHH*" Iris grimaced at the power behind the attack and felt glad that it wasn't the blade that hit her.

'He could've heavily injured me then why did he miss on purpose.' Iris thought as she stood up again.

'Why did you tell me to not kill her?' Yuuya asked inside his head.

'I talked to the will of the world she said that they had misunderstood you with the so-called evil and begged me to not kill them or many people might die and the world will be in peril.' The voice answered back.

'So, do you think I should spare them?' Yuuya asked as he dodged the combined attack of the Holy. He was moving his body slightly and jumping around the place. The people in the area were only able to see blurs as they can't see what was going on at the moment.

They have been watching the fight with open mouths as they didn't expect that a young boy would play two saints like a fiddle. And Grayfia was smiling as she watched Yuuya fighting with Hati who was looking at the scene attentively while wagging its tail.

'That is what you get for attacking master. I need to get stronger quickly so that people like them don't bother Master.' Grayfia thought as she looked at the fight she could barely follow what was going on. So she made a resolution to become stronger to help her master in dealing with these types of problems.

'Damn it, why isn't my attack connecting?' The kicking saint thought as he kicked towards Yuuya's head which was easily dodged.

'Why? Why? Why? Why can't I get married? What have I done to deserve this? I have the perfect candidate in front of me but I can't do anything...' Iris was getting angrier by the second as the perfect candidate for her was standing in front of her but she can't do anything.

She was swinging her sword with more power and speed than ever before.

CLANK* CLANK* CLANK* CLANK* CLANK*

But Yuuya knocked all of her attacks down with his spear effortlessly.

'You can do whatever you want, have you ever listened to me.' The voice said in a salty tone.

'Are you still holding a grudge over that?' Yuuya asked the voice.

'Hmph,' the voice didn't answer back.

Then both kicking saint and Iris stopped along with Yuuya.

"Say, what is this Evil you are talking about?" Yuuya asked as he looked at both of them.

(I see no point in answering a question of an 'Evil'.) The Rabbit said as he caught his breath.

"…." Yuuya didn't say anything and looked at Iris who was looking at him.

'Why is he asking this? Is it possible that….' Iris suddenly gasped.

"Are you not an 'Evil'?" Iris asked as she had some hope in her eyes.

"I don't even know what an 'Evil' is," Yuuya said.

"Evil is the amalgamation of every living creature's negative emotions. They are born from the negative emotions of living creatures and become stronger the more negative emotions they feed on." Iris said.

"Then you are looking for the wrong person as I am not the Evil you speak of," Yuuya said as he looked at them and the fire in Iris's eyes burned brightly.

(Don't talk nonsense your aura is denser than any evil I have ever seen, it is full of wrath and hatred. There is no way that you aren't an 'Evil'.) The rabbit said as he got ready to attack again.

"Stop Kicking saint he might not be the one who we think he is," Iris said as she tried to convince the rabbit.

(Look Sword saint I know that you are desperate for a partner, but this is way beyond that already.) Rabbit said as he looked at Iris.

And veins appeared on Iris's forehead as her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS HUH. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MARRYING SO, OF COURSE, YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFICULTIES OF WOMEN WHO ARE NEARING THE END OF THE MARRIAGEABLE AGE. BASTARD HOW DARE YOU, WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BLOOOOOODDDDDD!!!!!" Iris went off as she ranted and everyone was looking at this in disbelief.

'Is that the strongest Holy of this era?' this was what everyone was thinking.

(…) the rabbit didn't know what to say as he looked at his fellow saint he wasn't able to find the words to say. As iris was ranting…..

"An aura of Wrath and Hatred like that guy over there?" Yuuya suddenly pointed to the right causing both the saint to look over in the direction but they didn't see anything.

(Are you trying to trick us?) Rabbit said in a threatening tone.

"Are you really saints of this world? {Peirce}" Yuuya said in his usual tone as he threw his spear towards where he pointed before after casting a spell on the spear in demonic script. The spear destroyed everything in its way as rocks flew in all directions the spear flew leaving a red trail behind it and….

CLANK*

BANG*

SPLASH*

A sound of metal colliding was heard.

(What?)

"Since when…."

Both The rabbit and iris were shocked as they looked at the person who had a broken shield in his hand with a hole on his right shoulder which was bleeding as his muscles wiggled like worms trying to regenerate.

"A-Ahh, I-I w-was f-found o-out," a nervous-looking middle-aged man looked at everyone present.

Yuuya caught the spear that came back to him as he looked at the middle-aged man.

'So that is what an 'Evil' is.' Yuuya thought as he felt the nauseating aura that was emanated from the middle-aged man.

'Yes, I don't know how can they mistake you for that. It might be a bit similar but completely different. I guess they were able to sense it because you aren't strong enough to suppress it right now.' The voice inside Yuuya's head said.

'That is true I have used Runes to seal it but it is still leaking out.' Yuuya answered back as he looked at the dumbfounded Saints who were looking at the nervous middle-aged man.

"W-What d-do I-I d-do n-now." The man was mumbling as he stuttered.

(T-that is…) The kicking saint was lost for words as he looked at the man and Iris moved.

"[Single Sword Flash]" Iris slashed at the man's head but he moved and the slash cut off his arm.

"A-Argh, [Doppelganger]" the man screamed as he ran away miserably while shouting and three Shadows appeared.

And moved in direction of Iris, The Kicking Saint, and Yuuya and they changed shapes.

The one in front of Iris turned into a Woman who in her late 60's with blonde hair and blue eyes with a sword in her hand.

"T-Teacher," Iris's eyes shook as she looked at her teacher who took a stance and attacked her. Iris was shocked as she looked at her teacher who was attacking her.

"Who is your teacher? You are nothing but a failure. A disgrace to the title of Sword saint." The woman said as she attacked faster and iris wasn't able to say anything as she blocked the attacks.

'Teacher won't say these things to me. no, she wouldn't….' Iris thought as she stopped the attacks.

(Y-you h-how?) The kicking saint's voice cracked as he looked at the small cute girl with brown hair and red eyes.

"Usagi, where did you go? I was looking for you all over the place." The girl said as she smiled.

'No it can't be her she…..died.' the kicking saint thought as he hesitated to attack the person who saved him when he was just a normal kick rabbit. But the person was killed by a monster wave later.

The kicking saint tried to move but his body wouldn't. he wasn't able to bring himself to attack her.

"D-Die i-in d-despair a-as y-you l-look a-at f-face o-of y-your b-beloved." The man said as he tried to heal his injuries.

"What is it? You still can't find a Man a failure I say, you ar-" the former sword saint said.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW HARD I TRIED!!!!!!!!!" Iris moved as she shouted and cut the former sword saint into two and the shadow dissipated.

The kicking saint has also finished the one in front of him.

Iris looked towards Yuuya and her eyes widened as she looked at the person in front of him as she clenched her jaw.

"W-who is that? I-Is she Master's..." Grayfia stuttered as she looked at the person in front of Yuuya. And she felt Yuuya's emotions which were like a calm lake had ripples appearing in it.

'Tch, he just had to do it.' The voice in Yuuya's head said while clicking its tongue.

an extremely beautiful woman. with long purple hair and red eyes, and wearing a full-body outfit that highlights her curvaceous body, with metallic shoulder pads while carrying two ominous-looking red spears in her hands.

The woman looked at Yuuya with cold eyes as she ran toward him.

"You were never able to keep a promise you've made. I died because of you, I should've never saved you at that time." the woman shouted as she moved her spear to thrust at Yuuya's heart.
