Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 95

Millard still continued to talk.

[As long as I have this weak constitution, I can't live normally! But without Ricardo… I can be the magnificent next earl. Even father should change his mind! For the most part, it's ridiculous. At first, you told me to give you my hand!]

[That is…]

Blocking Ricardo who tried to speak while fighting, Millard glared at me while talking.

[That woman is the cause. Earl Hakusu is father's favourite. Perhaps, it's the condition for the engagement proposal to be accepted.]

[That is not the case, isn't my engagement proposal for Britney is put on hold?]

[Then why are you still with her? Originally, you shouldn't have been in Hakusu territory… I was searching on behalf of an ally, but I was surprised to hear that you left the capital city.]

Millard seemed to be not familiar with Ricardo's engagement with me. He kept making misunderstandings.

In this dangerous situation, I was just a burden, so I moved to the back of the warehouse so that I was harder to be targeted.

Nearby, there were many bottles containing perfumes. There's also an undiluted solution of musk.

[Aim for that woman! Capture her and bring her back!]

[Ee!?]

Since Millard gave extra orders, the enemy soldiers looked at me all at once.

One of them broke through an allied soldier and approached me.

[How detestable-!]

I threw the bottle containing undiluted musk towards him… but the bottle which was vigorously thrown did not hit the soldier and cracked when it hit Millard's forehead instead.

I could hear his scream, but I was too preoccupied to see it. I couldn't be caught by the enemy.

The enemy soldier followed me who ran to the back of the warehouse. The allied soldiers couldn't help me since their hands were full.

(There should be something I can do by myself…)

Luckily, the finished bath salt product was placed near me, so I grabbed the content and threw it towards the enemy.

[Eat this!]

[Uwaaaa!]

The enemy continued to attack even though his eyes were red and teary due to the salt getting into his eyes.

However, his movements were slow.

[The direct teachings of ojii-sama, self-defense!]

When the enemy attacked me, I grabbed his hand towards myself, grabbed his little finger, and bent it towards the opposite direction.

[It hurts! It hurts!!!!!]

It's pretty plain and didn't need much power, but this little finger attack really hurt.

I then grabbed the enemy's head and bashed it against the corner of a nearby shelf.

When the first salt attack worked, the enemy's movements slowed down and he became easy to knock out.

(Alright, he fainted.)

[Tha, that's…!]

When he saw it, Millard showed his anger and ran towards me. He smelt quite beastly since I threw the undiluted solution.

[Damn, it's not good to take a thing in this warehouse back home. Since this happens, I'll take you home alone…!]

His original purpose seemed to be the raw materials stored in the warehouse. He would have wanted to take back the soap and bath salt manufacturing process back to Astor earldom.

Millard now wanted to take me away in order to disturb Ricardo and hear the products' information from me. Surely, he's willing to take it for himself.

(Such a thing, I will not let it!)

But I had few problems. Unlike the previous soldier, Millard had an unsheathed sword in his hand.

The opponent until now thought that I was just a normal girl, so I was able to counterattack since they attacked me bare-handed…

(If the enemy uses a sword, if something goes wrong, won't I die?)

What I learned from my grandfather was self-defense techniques that were usually useful, and if pushed, I could engage in hand-to-hand combats. Although I had learned swordsmanship for a while, there were little chances for and ordinary young lady to wield a sword, so the training was postponed.

I used to practice with a wooden sword, but I had never dealt with a real sword before.

(…I didn't predict that this will happen!)

[Miss Britney, I'll lower the sword if you don't resist. But otherwise, you don't know what will happen right?]

I reflexively shouted in my mind towards the approaching Millard.

(Don't you want to capture me? Are you going to kill me-!?)

TN: So the self-defense lessons did not cover disarming an armed opponent. Seems rather lacking.
