Chapter 13


Similar Variant Monster


At the place where I turned to,


There was a humanoid monster with the head of a cow .


In Greek Mythology, I remember it’s called a Minotaur .


[Burururu~! Fushi yu~ u u oo o o!!!]


Its eyes are golden .


Its blood vessel are pulsing .


A muscular body .


A dark orange line runs throughout its body (Is it its blood vessels?) .


Its skin color is dark .


A huge horn for ramming people .


Like a reindeer .


Base image of a minotaur .


But, with an unusually terrible form .


What is noteworthy is the liquid that it’s releasing .


There are some protrusions shaped like petit Fuji-sans that can be seen on its body .


There was a hole about the size of a hundred-yen coin at the tip of each protrusion .


Something is released intermittently from the hole .


Dripping liquid .


The liquid falls to the ground .


Doro~ tsu! (T/N: apparently, the sound of dropping liquid)


Bicha~ tsu! (T/N: sound of splashing)


Shuwashuwa,


shuwaa…


Melting .


The ground is .


That bloodthirst from back there is from you, huh…


The ground around the transfer destination was relatively uneven .


That might also be the cause .


It’s creepy .


Scary .

[…… . fu]


It’s too fast, it already caught up .


I couldn’t hear its footsteps until it entered my sight .


Can I even escape?


A variant minotaur .


Can the goddess win?


Can Kirihara’s personal skill defeat this?


In the past, it was said that powerful heroes and warrior were disposed .


No one has ever left the ruins alive .


They were killed .


By this guy .


No way to win .


For the E-Rank me .


[Sh*t . ]


This is it, huh .


This is the end of Mimori Touka .


At least, I need to say a few things .


I wanted to say thanks .


To my uncle and his family .


Thank you for being kind to me .


I was thinking of saying it properly on the day I graduate from high school .


I should have said it earlier .


And then, Sogou Ayaka .


Even if it’s only I who think of it as a debt of gratitude .


But still, I want to say .


I want to say my thanks .


Thank you for trying to protect me .


Hita… hita… hita… (T/N: sound of someone approaching steadily)


The minotaur is approaching slowly .


You can say that the entertainment is already over .


The person who has been transferred is probably a bait .


For this guy, who is wandering about near its nest .


Kari~


My nails rub against the ground .


No weapons .


There’s only this leather bag that glow .


My status is a failure .


My skill is a bigger failure .


[My life was… taken over by my uncle’s family . ] (T/N: not sure here . )


I started to stand up .


But, I stop .


Even if I stand up here and escape, the minotaur is probably faster .


At this distance, it can catch up quickly .


Above all, I’ve used up my stamina with that full power sprint earlier .


A stalemate .


Everything comes to an end .


I close my eyes .


It comes to my mind .


Memories .


Words .


[If you’re going to disappear, just disappear already, trash . ]


[ Well~ Too bad I can’t see Mimori unsightly death, I would have liked to see it~! It’s so, a shame~!]


[Forget everything and sleep peacefully, Mimori Touka… R, I, P… . ]


[ Howl and struggle all you want at the bottom of the base . ]


I slightly open my eyes .


I feel nauseous .

Isn’t he enjoying it too much?


This bastard .


Such an end like this…


Would anyone accept something like this?


I grind my teeth .


[I want power–]


The minotaur furiously roared .


[Buru ru~uououohh! GoarrrhhhhhhHhHHh~!!!]


Is it threatening me?


Or are you claiming me as your prey?


The minotaur reaches out .


To my head .


Me too,


[Bu ru~ u?]


Reached out my hand .


To the minotaur .


The arms of the human and the demon intersect without conflict .


I know .


The huge hand is now approaching my head .


……………


I didn’t want to die without doing anything .


I know that it’s a failure of a skill .


But, I used it .


At least, a retort .


Frustrating feelings are overflowing within me .


Or was it just survival instinct?


My instincts tell me, “struggle”


At least a glare .

The minotaur grasps .


Personal skill .


Abnormal State, Endow–


(T/N: I know I translated it earlier as endowment, but I just realized just having it to “endow” makes it have the same syllable as its japanese counterpart “fuyo”)


[Paralyze]


Last resistance… done .


I close my eyes .


[……… . ]


After a few seconds .


I notice something out of place .


[Eh?]


Nothing happened?


It’s not strange that my head is crushed by now .


Or even if my neck is pulled out .


And yet—


Nothing has happened .


Is it because of tension?


Is it because of fear?


My face is sweaty again .


Slowly,


Gently,


My face,


I raised it .


I opened my eyes right away .


The minotaur…


[Eh?]


…have stopped .
