Chapter 45

Shingen stood there in the dark near the place where he saw someone was standing; in other words: the garden . He didn’t bring any light . It’s because he didn’t want his opponent to know of his presence . Especially since he had no idea of the opponent’s capability yet .

Since it’s necessary to adjust his eyes to the darkness, Shingen decided to crouch on the lawn . He tried to put on a serious face, which he did pretty well . Although it looks more like a brave face instead .

There is a fountain in the middle of the garden . Shingen chose to go through the stone pavement connecting it with the garden . By doing so, he could reduce the noise of his footsteps to a minimum .

After walking for a while, he stopped and turned his face around . The mysterious figure is nowhere to be seen .

[Did I got noticed…? Or did they escape?] (ED note: Used “they” here since gender is unknown) (Shingen)

There were still signs . Shingen could also still hear breathing . The other party seemed to be alone . Fortunately, there is no movement from the opposition . It means that he hadn’t been noticed yet . Shingen slowed his breathing and kept his footsteps as silent as possible . His hand ready on his sword .

Suddenly, the surroundings became dark . It’s as if someone had put a dark curtain over the eyes . Apparently, a thick cloud had covered the moon, rendering Shingen unable to see anything . This is bad for him . However, he could sense that the owner of the shadow had moved away from him . It’s just his intuition .

For the time being, Shingen decided to follow while keeping some distance and observe . In his mind, he imagined striking the figure from the back, then restraining its head . He only has one attempt . If he successfully restrained the enemy, he won’t need to worry about counterattacks . He can’t use his sword . Lest there will be a lot of noise and the other residents will be alerted .

While he was thinking about that, the opportunity arose . The moonlight returned and shone upon the shadowy figure . Shingen could see a small back . It’s a girl with silky short hair, wearing lightweight armor made of leather . She had pretty limbs and her white skin apparent under the faint moonlight . Shingen knew who that girl was . The moment he saw her appearance, he dropped his guard . When he was about to call out to her, he accidentally stepped on a dry twig, making a dry cracking sound .

Elize reacted sensitively to the sound . Her body shook in surprise . She quickly turned around, drew the dagger that has been kept behind her waist, jumped lightly and thrust the dagger toward her opponent . She was full of killing intent since she didn’t know that it was Shingen . Shingen shouted .

[Wa-wait! It’s me!] (Shingen)

Elize’s eyes shone silver under the moonlight . Before he knew it, she’s already pushed him down .

[Wa!!] (Shingen)

Shingen who let out a strange yelp when his back hit the pavement . When he came to, he realized that there is a dagger a hair’s breadth away from his neck . If he moves even just a bit, the tip will definitely tear his skin .

They stuck together unmoving and only after three breaths, did Elize finally blinked her eyes . Apparently she realized that it was Shingen just now .

[What the…so it’s you . ] (Elize)

She sighed in relief, but didn’t attempt to move away . She instead said angrily while still straddling Shingen .

[… . why did you stand behind me? I’ll kill you if want to do any harm . ] (Elize)

Shingen started to pour cold sweat .

[So, sorry… . I didn’t know that it was Elize . ] (Shingen)

[Fuhn, right . ] (Elize)

Afterwards, after letting out what seemed like a groaning sound, she returned the dagger behind her waist . Elize finally looked like she was lowering her guard . After sighing in relief for not misunderstanding Shingen, she fell into some thought and once again questioned him with an doubtful voice .

[Then who are you actually…? At first, I didn’t notice that you were there . In fact, I didn’t feel your presence at all……suspicious… . . un . As I thought, you must be――――――] (Elize)

While saying so, she reached back to the dagger behind her waist . The sound of steel being pulled from the leather sheath could be heard .

[No, no, errr, why are you doubting me again?] (Shingen)

Then the two were left gazing at each other for a while .

[……] (Elize)

[…… . ] (Shingen)

[………Nn, suspicious… . ] (Elize)

As she said that, she leaned closer that their faces were only inches away and started sniffing like a dog . It was a really weird situation .

Though the encounter can’t be said to be fortunate, Shingen found that Elize is actually quite pretty . Her big eyes, and her face outline formed a beautiful looking face .

Well, it’ll be better if she can act a little more on the cute side . In addition to that, she has beautiful clear silver eyes . Shingen couldn’t help but to wonder how she’ll look like when she’s grown up .

[…… . nn, this smell… . . ] (Elize)

[……Eh?] (Shingen)

(―――――My, smell……?) (Shingen)

Since he didn’t know how to answer, Shingen could only smile bitterly . If it’s according to her, it means that he’s smelly .

Elize still had some doubt in her eyes . But since she couldn’t understand why, she decided to give it up . She finally stood up and stepped back . Normally, people would’ve offered their hand to help the other to get up, but she didn’t…… . Shingen sighed as he realized that he had to get up on his own .

Shingen, feeling a little lonely without anyone to grab on, stood back up . He brushed off the dirt on his butt with both hands afterwards .
