Grimoire X Reverse – Chapter 7

 

Somehow, I was given the name of a master lolicon. (TL: Not sure why he considers Shuten to be the name of a lolicon, but he references it a couple of times)

I’ve never heard Shuten’s name in the game…wait? That Shuten-dōji? But I’m no leader. I’m not at home Heavenly Kings. But that doesn’t mean he’s not in Oeyama. (TL: Oeyama or Mt. Ooe is the mountain Shuten-doji is rumored to inhabit)

Whatever.

Aside from that, I have powered up. I was just going to threaten them by slamming the ground, but somehow it became a wave attack, I suppose that’s lucky?

Well, aside from that.

“Shuten-sama?” (Flare Reel)

The name remains after the misunderstanding…it feels nostalgic.  Unexpectedly, it seems the name I know as a lolicon is seen here as a guardian. But it would be misleading to say that I am that helpful of a person, so I just stood there.

The sight of the bat wings flapping quickly to stay at my eye level is pleasant, but now what do I do with this child? I don’t know how much she was hurt until I cut in, but the soft feeling of her appearance is undeniable.

For now there is no more reason for me to stay in this dungeon. So it’s time to head upwards…at least until we reach the third level. My conscience felt guilty blaming her, but so long as I protect this child, it will not be easy to collect the fragments.

Anyway.

“Um” (Flare Reel)

Suspicion flickered in her gaze towards me. I want to say something, but anything I could say now would probably cause my cheeks to color in embarrassment. It would be pointless to fill the cave with such unsuccessful words. As soon as our eyes met she diverted her gaze, though swimming in the vampire’s bright red eyes I could see a wariness.

What!? I was thinking about something worrying, do I really look that bad? Well, the vampire hunters and even the boss of the tower couldn’t take it and reacted fearfully.

“Well, I am Flare Reel!” (Flare Reel)

Flare Reel-chan. What a cute name.

It seems that the day I pick up and hug her and so be labeled a lolicon is inescapable and not long from now. But I am different from those perverts, and will not suddenly transform into one.

“Is that so?” (Shuten)

“…uh-huh.” (Flare Reel)

It is good to introduce yourself, but I have no name. I’m sorry.

Then I remembered the name Shuten. I guess this other Shuten won’t mind me using it. (というかもうシュテンで良い気がしてきた) Shuten (temporary). It will not come up even you search an amoeba. (TL: he mentions an amoeba, but I don’t know why? Probably that even searching in detail won’t reveal the negative connotations of this name)

“Um.” (Flare Reel)

Placing my hand on my chest, I desperately tried to also introduce myself to comfort her. It seems all those years of self-introduction was in preparation for a moment like this. If you believe in such things, that is what I want to say. (そんなことを考えていると、まだ何かしら言いたいことがあるようで。)

And then somehow, Flare Reel’s facial expression became more anxious.

I heard her take a deep breath. She flew in front of my eyes and lowered her head in a bow. The girl’s long black hair drifted softly as at the same time she began to cry.

…No opponent can match this girl!

“Blood…the blood.” (Flare Reel)

“Blood?” (Shuten)

“Will you let me drink some blood…?” (Flare Reel)

“Ah.” (Shuten)

So it was something like that. Perhaps she depleted her energy during the escape. Go ahead, I am a man who doesn’t really care. Staggering my Kinagaishi, I showed my shoulder.

“Is it really okay?” (Flare Reel)

“Yeah.” (Shuten)

“Thank you! …Wah!?” (Flare Reel)

From the chest of my Kinagaishi, something suddenly began to glow. No longer able to stand it, I jumped back in that moment.

“Oh?” From what I could see, “Pearl piece?” (Shuten)

Without a doubt, it was a pearl piece. I wonder what it means since it began to shine brighter at the moment she approached. Yet that amazing radiance just disappeared elsewhere when she was further away. At any rate it is a confirmed pearl piece.

“Pretty…” (Flare Reel)

 

 

 

“…Uh, you can drink.” (Shuten)

“Ah, yes!” (Flare Reel)

A burning sensation. Clinging to my front like a hug, her fangs sunk into my neck. However, the feeling on my shoulder was somehow comfortable.

I don’t know if there is some kind of effect from being bitten by a vampire, but I’m not too concerned with my Kinagaishi equipped. No matter that my magical defense is garbage…If there are any kind of abnormal status attacks then it will be blocked.

 

 

 

“…I wonder why it suddenly began to shine?” (Shuten)

I wonder if there are certain activation conditions, since the radiance increased at the moment Flare Reel-chan jumped in. It’s likely. Perhaps, this is an indication that it is harmless to Flare Reel. I feel kind of unpleasant at that thought.

…Whatever.

Wait.

That spoiled goddess certainly said the second time would be accompanied by severe pain…Surely I integrated THE☆ Poisonous fragment for the second time just now!

Well, it can’t be said that I was put out by the mistake though.

 

In the meantime Flare Reel’s presence is gradually improving, and certainly her wing movements are getting stronger as her magic seems to be recovering.

“…Ah, what is this, wow, amazing…!” (Flare Reel)

Although I heard a sultry voice in my ear I do not care. It doesn’t matter.

“T’ank…yu…Shyuten…sama…” (Flare Reel)

Hey, has my blood given her a dangerous effect!? I don’t have that kind of night relationship!

…Such a thing is not the case. I wouldn’t do such an immoral thing to a young girl.

“Are you almost done?” (Shuten)

Flare Reel sprung back in panic. The sound of her wings has changed from a pitiful flutter to a strong flap.

“How fantastic!” (Flare Reel)

The fact that the pupils of her eyes were steeped in a darker scarlet from the magic and that her overall atmosphere has become more vampiric has nothing to do with me.

She leaves, and the pearl piece returned to its original dirty color. “…Ah.”

Well, here is something else to try.

“Here!” (Shuten)

“Eh?” (Flare Reel)

I hand it over to her. Then the pearl piece should regain its luster.

She will cherish the precious sparkling gemstone, since she began stroking the pearl piece lovingly. Eh, I do not want to say that in return it may make things hard on her. No, well, she’s a superior species and something seems to have been considerably strengthened, so I think she can use it if she trains for awhile. Hmm? Is there no problem?

 

 

 

While walking, we soon returned to the dungeon’s exit. The sun has already come out, have I spent the entire night underground?

“Uh…Thank you very much!” (Flare Reel)

“Uh, yeah.” (Shuten)

Though distracted by the outside, Flare Reel turned around and grinned widely.

“Are you going?” (Flare Reel)

“Yeah.” (Shuten)

“I…am still not able to go out into the sun.” (Flare Reel) The downcast girl said so with a lonely expression.

Oh, I mean she is a vampire after all.

As I was silently thinking, she nodded with great significance. Eh, what?

“I’m going to get stronger, you’ll see!” (Flare Reel)

“Oohh.” (Shuten)

“Then I can stand it.” (Flare Reel)

You can stand it when you get stronger? What? Those innocent eyes twinkle so purely it’s painful.

“…Of course!!” (Shuten)

Who is to say that she cannot get out if she gets stronger? It feels wrong to simply leave like this, but it seems for the best for us to go separate ways. Funny, I thought it would ease my conscience but isn’t my conscience really sore now!?

I step forward into the sun.

“After getting stronger I will surely come to you!”

She waved her hand with small, modest smile. She will definitely get stronger.

*Don* I felt the pulse from a blast of magic. When I looked back at her she was smiling and holding a sharp crimson spear as if it were stained in blood.

…Oy oy, a weapon summons?!

It was just a little while ago that I had run into this girl and she was a helpless child.

“So you were skillful!!” (Shuten)

Still smiling that pure and innocent smile, she raised the spear so it made a vibrating sound and waved.  I want to think that it looks small in her hands because she is being considerate of me, yet I feel like I have causes something unusual. That is surely…because of me…From now on, I will not give my blood to a vampire so easily.

 

 

 

“I will …become stronger. Like Shuten…” (Flare Reel)

She vigorously wielded the crimson spear, and easily defeated the monsters of the first layer…
