Act 3: Chapter 23: Getting a Life in Every Death(Side: Lovis)

Although Lovis body had stopped trembling in fear, he still had a hard time breathing. [TN: Title is an idiom, it means getting out alive from a seemingly impossible situation.]

Lovis’ brain was working at full throttle right now.

He kept the posture of hanging his head down.

Lunaire’s approaching footsteps sound like the footsteps of an executioner readying their butcher knife to chop on his head.

「D-D... Do you have some sort of business with me?」

Saying such an absurdly contradicting remark to the very person that he tried to kill just a few seconds ago was the most Lovis could do right now.

But, the god-like being before him didn’t seem to be interested in having a conversation with Lovis.

Lovis still deeply wished in his heart that the other party would kindly overlook his transgression.

「I basically have no business with the scoundrels who were raiding city with gleeful smile on their face.」

Lunaire’s voice sent chills running down into Lovis’ spine.

Lunaire was obviously going to kill Lovis.

「Poor people who can’t feel nothing but pleasure from hurting the others tsk tsk tsk...」

Lunaire took another step toward Lovis.

Lovis didn’t waste any time prostrating in front of Lunaire.

「P-Please spare us...! We’re different from those 《Blood Cup》 ‘s fella. I just want to fight one on one against the saint Pomera, we don’t even attack anyone else. I’ve no qualms telling you about those fella’s aims too! 」The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

「That’s quite difficult...」

Lunaire’s eyebrows frowned as if troubled by Lovis’ remark.

「L-Lovis-sama, why!? You... You say back then that you’ll never do something like this again!」

Yozakura grumbled upon seeing Lovis prostrating without even showing any hesitation.

Lovis glared at Yozakura, baring his teeth toward her.

「No matter how you think about this, this time we are put into that exception too, right! Why don’t you understand such a simple thing! You see it yourself right? This personage might be an immortal, or a living god, she clearly belongs to those who quit being a human! You guys, bow your head too! Quick! Pomera, you too! All your status is useless. Bow quickly before you’re getting destroyed. Do you want to kill us too?!!」

Pomera fell on her knees, hugging her big cane, flapping her mouth nonstop like fish out of water.

Even without being told by Lovis, she knew just how bizarre the girl who approached Lovis was.

Nevertheless, Lovis was really good at switching his attitude.

Or maybe, he just wanted to save his own life.

It was as if he had transformed into a completely different person.

「... Eh?」

Contrary to her calm voice, Yozakura silently pulled her sword from its sheath.

「I’VE TOLD YOU BEFORE RIGHT?! THIS IS ONE OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS! YOU AND DAMIA HAVE THIS KIND OF MISUNDERSTANDING SINCE YOU SEE THIS PERSONAGE AS A MERE HUMAN! WHY WOULD YOU STILL NOT UNDERSTAND EVEN AFTER I TOLD YOU TRUTH?! ARE YOU STILL GOING TO BLINDLY CHARGING AGAINST THIS CATASTROPHE!」

Yozakura shook her head.

「No, I shall assist you in your suicide. Rest assured, I’ll follow you right after.」

Though regarded as obsoletes, suicide culture did exist in Yozakura’s birthplace.

「... What a pitiful person. Unfortunately, I have no time to listen to a wicked person’s nonsense. If you do have any last words, say it quickly.」

Lunaire’s bone-chilling voice was akin to a death sentence in Lovis’ ears.

Lovis’ brain worked even faster as he looked down on the floor.

Why did this happen to me?

Originally the chance for this to happen should be the same as getting struck by a meteorite when you take a stroll, an infinitely small possibility.

And yet, Lovis picks a fight with Kanata only to get the latter to wipe the floor with him so easily, and then, only a few months after that, he is once again driven into a corner by the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Both of them were clearly monsters with levels over 2000.

The two giant meteorites had actually fallen twice in succession right on top of Lovis’ head.

Right at this moment, Lovis suddenly got a flash of inspiration.

Yes, he realized that this meeting was by no means a coincidence.

There must be some sort of hidden objectives.

「Could it be that you are... Kanata-sama’s acquaintance?」

Lunaire’s eyes opened wide the moment she heard Lovis’ question.

Her lips warped in bewilderment. Red shade appeared on her pale, corpse-like cheeks.

「H-How did you know about Kanata?」

Lovis secretly clenched his fist behind his back, he won his gamble.

Maybe... just maybe He would miraculously survive this certain death situation.
