NOVEL NEXT Sword Oni
Pov Dia,
Dia: "This is the island of the samurai."
Sera: "What is a samurai?"
Rimuru: " They are warriors who put priority on honor."
Sera: "What is honor, for example?"
Dia: "Never attack someone from behind, not use loose technique against someone else, There are others, but I will not list them all.."
Sera: "But attacking from behind can be very useful at times."
Dia: "That's a different mentality so don’t think about. Let’s find a place to land."
In front of us was lush vegetation, but it was very hard to find a place to land.
Rimuru: "How about that spot over there?"
Rimuru pointed west and said that.
Dia: "This is a great place to land. Well done, Rimuru."
Rimuru: "I only did my duty, Dia-sama."
We landed in this small clearing; there was even a river. This place is perfect for resting."
Dia: "What do you think about making this place our base for now?"
Rimuru: "We have access to water, and I sense animal presence around us, so it doesn't bother me."
Sera: "I also approve of this place for a date. I wonder if this place would be even better if the moon came out."
Dia: "If it has a good angle, then the view should be beautiful when we discover this place. I'm hungry, so shall we eat now?"
Sera, Rimuru: "Okay."
And we went to prepare the meal. It was just some small animals because we are still in the open and we don't want to disrupt the ecology of this place.
Sera: "That didn’t feed me much."
Dia: "We can't help it, but don't worry, we can eat our fill at the next meal or tomorrow."
??: "Here are the 3 new people who will taste my sword."
After hearing that, we immediately went on guard. The person who said it was a young man with white hair, but from his aura, I would say he's a Yokai.
Dia: "You're a little too presumptuous to think we're going to lose to you."
??: "But it's a fact that I am much stronger than you. I am a master of the katana; people even call me Sword Oni."
Is it his Yokai race or just a nickname given to him like that?
Dia: "Having a nickname doesn’t mean you’re strong, especially if the people who gave you that nickname were weak."
Sword Oni: "But they were weaklings, it was disgusting, they weren't even able to entertain me a little."
Dia: "You just didn’t find the right opponent."
Sword Oni: "No, you know why. Because I am the strongest in the world; no one can beat me. You are all inferior to me."
He’s starting to annoy me with his pride.
Dia: "Rimuru is a great opportunity to improve your katana skills. I want you to fight him using only this weapon. You won’t use magic or anything else."
Rimuru: "As you wish, Dia-sama."
Sword Oni: "You know you can fight all three of us at the same time; I would beat you anyway."
Dia: "I don’t care about what you say."
Sword Oni: "What a monster you are. Sacrifice one of your comrades to escape."
Dia: "I'm not sacrificing her; I'm allowing her to improve her skills."
Sword Oni: "As if I believe you. It must be her strange attire that disgusted you."
He's dead.
Rimuru: "Hey, asshole, what did you say about my outfit?"
Sword Oni: "Are you deaf or something? I said they were WEIRD."
Rimuru: "You dared to insult my greatest pride. I promise you will suffer."
Sword Oni: "You must be able to touch me, something that will be impossible for you because you are weak."
He really wants to die, that one.
Rimuru pulled out a katana that she had stored inside her, in case she needed it one day, and she prepared herself.
The other fool had a very weird stance.
(Author’s note: I can’t describe, so think about Iaijutsu’s position.)
I immediately sensed the danger of this posture.
Dia: "Rimuru, be on high alert for your defense. This technique is very dangerous."
A moment later, the fight began.
