Chapter 27: Inglis, 12 years old (15)
「Now, what should I do?」
With a body of this size, its life force should not be scoffed at. Inglis wanted to end its suffering with just a single strike but unleashing such a powerful attack in the middle of the city would also bring about great collateral damage. It would have been fine if the villa would be the only collateral damage, considering that it was already on the verge of collapsing but more than likely, the damage would be much more than that. That meant that the only solution would be to lure the beast Rahal outside of the city walls. However, the probability of the beast destroying all the buildings along the way out of the city would be much too high. Plus, that would also endanger the citizens of Ymir.
「Alright!」
I’ve made up my mind!
「INNGLIISSSS!!!」
Immediately afterwards, Rahal’s fist flew towards Inglis. She easily saw through the attack and leaped backwards to avoid it. While she could’ve easily taken the punch head-on or parried it, she chose to widen the gap between them instead. She landed on the ground with a crouch before sprinting right back at the beast, taking advantage of the gap between them to build up tremendous speed. However, she heard a commotion in the distance.
「Rafinha!! Inglis!! I can’t leave everything up to you two after all! That stinky Highlander, just what is he doing to them?!」 「Lady Rafinha! Miss Inglis! I’m here to save you two!」
Marquis Wilford and vice commander Ada had just arrived at the villa with a troop of knights marching behind them. 1
「Father! Ada, too! You two came for us!? Really, there’s no helping you two!」
