148 – Jinta (2)
The moment I felt the warm body temperature and heartbeat of Jinta’s body in my arms, I had a strong feeling that Jinta had returned.
And almost at the same time, she flinched at the stinging gaze that was presumed to be Jessica’s on the back of her head, but she had no intention of letting go of Jinta.
The beloved sword that returned from the swamp of death was held in one’s arms, and what kind of swordsman in the world would be able to ruthlessly shake it off?
“Master, just a moment…” .”
A few minutes had passed since Jinta was in my arms, and Jinta, who seemed like she would be in my arms forever, suddenly left my arms and looked back at Nanga, who was frustrated behind her.
“Hey, son of a b*tch.”
“…… ?!”
While everyone, including me, was surprised at the completely different tone of voice from before, Jintaman smiled as if nothing had happened.
“Master, I have some business to resolve with that dog, so could you wait for a moment? It’s been a while, so I’d like to show off my abilities….”
“Uh, okay…” . “I don’t know what it is, but if there’s something that needs to be solved, I have to solve it.”
I don’t know what happened between the two, but if there is a conflict, it would be better to resolve it here rather than continuing to carry it with it.
Furthermore, I haven’t seen Jinta’s new ability yet, so I wanted to take this opportunity to check it out.
“This cheeky….”
As Jinta pointed to herself with her finger, Nanga, who had been sitting limply on the floor, stood up from her seat and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.
“The disabled sword… Did you think you could beat me just by humanizing me a little? Even if you are reborn, you are still a disabled sword!!”
“Nang!! “I told you not to use the word ‘disabled sword’!!”
I was indignant at Nanga’s discriminatory remarks and tried to step forward, clenching her fist, but Jinta shook her head and stopped me.
“Master, I’m fine. And now you will never be able to use that arrogant mouth again.”
“… I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but don’t be too harsh. “Isn’t it okay to hurt Nanga without meaning to?”
“Got it!!”
“I had no intention of killing him from the beginning. However, since that dog is an animal, I think we need to establish a clear hierarchy, so I’m just trying to organize things for a moment.”
“Seo, ranking?!! “You’re really dead!!!”
Jinta and Nanga put their hands on the hilts of their swords and widened the distance between them, and it became a foregone conclusion that the two would clash.
Jinta and Nanga are both my swords, so I couldn’t support either side, so I just watched quietly, and the fight began with Nanga, who was impatient, approaching Jinta first.
“Why don’t those two draw their swords beforehand?”

“What? “What are you talking about?”
Jessica, who was watching the whole story from behind, pointed to the two and asked me.
“That’s right, you’re a person with a bit of a headache, so it’s no wonder that you’re obsessed with footbalancing techniques, but why are those two using footbalancing techniques?”
“What? My head hurts?! “There’s nothing I can’t say to my future husband!!”
Outraged by the insulting language that I couldn’t ignore, I stabbed Jessica’s breasts and coincidentally the nipples hit just right, causing Jessica to let out a strange moan.
“Huh… !! “W-what are you doing!!”
“What? “Isn’t it common sense that if a wife does something wrong, she gets spanked by her husband?”
“Ah, wife… !! You only say things like this when you’re openly cheating on someone….”
“Anyway, I’m like that, but I’m curious as to why they even use kicking techniques, right?”
“…… Is it so.”
The reason why Jinta and Nanga used only Baldojutsu was not that great.
That was partly because those two were humanized katanas optimized for kicking techniques, but more than anything, it was because I, the user, only used kicking techniques.
Even if I wanted to use other sword techniques, I, the owner, did not use those techniques, so it was natural for the swordsmen to only use those sword techniques.
Also, if those two, my favorite swordsmen, had used a sword technique other than the sword technique, they wouldn’t have been beaten, but there would have been some resentment left behind.
“… So then it’s ultimately because of you.”
“It’s not because of me, it’s thanks to me. “More than that, why does he suddenly step back?”
Nanga, who had been narrowing the distance between her little by little, suddenly took a large step back.
At that distance, the sword wouldn’t even be able to reach me, but as I watched, wondering what he was thinking, Nanga’s sword began to change into the attitude I used before.
‘It looks like he’s trying to use that…’ .’
Soon, the side of the scabbard opened like the maw of an animal, and Nanga’s blade hidden there stretched like rubber and attacked Jinta.
I forgot about it for a while because it wasn’t a function I used very often, but Nanga was able to freely change the length of her blade.
It is not a good strategy to engage in close combat without knowing the opponent’s skills.
If I were a child, I would have widened the distance like I do now and only approached or did anything after finding out the other person’s skills.
“This…” !!”
Nanga was planning to test her opponent’s skills with a long-distance attack, but Jinta avoided Nanga’s attack by lightly twisting her body without pulling out her sword.
I couldn’t help but gasp as I watched Jinta dodge the sword, whose length constantly changes, making it difficult to gauge the distance, with simple yet spectacular movements, as if he was dancing.
However, seeing as he does not fire even when the blade flies like that, does Jinta’s ability have a set number of uses per day, or is it an ability that becomes stronger the longer it is in the sheath?
We cannot deny the possibility that he was not selected because it was an ability that could be dealt with simply by looking at it at a glance, but looking at Jinta’s confident expression, it did not seem to be an ordinary ability.
“Ugh!!”
No matter how much he threw, he couldn’t even graze Jinta’s collar, and in the end, it wasn’t Jinta who dodged, but Nanga who was the first to gasp.
Nanga, who had been swinging her sword at random, slowly ran out of breath and realized that there would be no end if she continued like this, so she returned her sword to its sheath.
Then, like before, he slowly narrowed the distance between her and looked for Jinta’s gap, but Jinta did not easily reveal her gap.
It is natural. Even though she lived as a sword with an ego for a long time with Nanga, she spent a longer time with Jin Ta Na.
In terms of her mere skills, Jinta was by no means inferior to Nanga.
No matter how long she waited, Jinta didn’t let her in. Perhaps out of sheer impatience, she jumped in front of her and unleashed her sword energy.
The sword in the shape of a wolf was so lively that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was not a sword but a real, living wolf.
Jinta had been good at avoiding Nanga’s attacks until now, but this time, perhaps because she was too big, she was unable to dodge her by lightly twisting her body and threw herself to her side to avoid her sword energy.
However, the sword energy that flew in a straight line turned her head and attacked Jinta again.
The impatience shown earlier was probably just an act, but while Nanga smiled in remorse, Jinta jumped high in the sky this time to avoid the sword.
I dodged the attack, but unless I had the ability to fly, jumping high was a mistake.
Unlike the ground, there is no place to avoid the sky, and even if you had the leg strength to kick the air, it was not a good choice because it consumed so much stamina.
At that time, when everyone foresaw Jinta’s defeat and held her breath.
“Huh?!!”
Jinta’s body, floating in the air, suddenly disappeared with a loud noise that seemed to blow out her eardrums.
It is not a spatial ability such as teleportation. It was clear that she had used the sword just a moment ago, judging by the sound of the air being torn apart and the sound of metal rubbing against it.
‘Then, when thinking about the direction, Jinta is upward… ?’
When she raised her head and looked at the sky, Jinta, who had jumped high with the recoil of her feet, was slowly falling with her back to the sun.
“Ugh… !!”
The distance itself wasn’t a problem, but because she had her back to the sun, it was difficult to target her because of the light.
When Nanga was confused and unable to do either this or that, Jinta fired his sword once again and used the recoil to fly towards Nanga at incredible speed.
If I hadn’t been concentrating, Nanga couldn’t respond to the incredible speed, so much so that I would have missed the moment of launch.
Jinta got right in front of Nanga in an instant and without hesitation, he fired straight away, and Nanga’s body floated and flew far away before hitting the sword stuck on the hill and falling down helplessly.
“Wow… !!”
Compared to the massive fall, Nanga got back up quickly, perhaps thanks to the power of rebuilding the blade even if it was broken, but it seemed like it would be too much for him to fight again.
Jinta approached Nanga, who had just woken up, and struck her in the face with his bare hands without using a sword, knocking her down again.
Then he began to step on Nanga’s fallen face with murderous intent. He didn’t care even when Nanga screamed, he trampled on Nanga’s face again and again.
Rather than just stepping on it, he put his weight on it with his heel and trampled it with all his might. It was clearly a blow filled with murderous intent.
“Ah….”
I knew I had to stop it, but the atmosphere was so brutal that not a single word, ‘Stop,’ came out.
It wasn’t just me, it was everyone here, but we couldn’t say a word to stop it and just prayed that this time would pass quickly.
Jinta, who had been trampling on Nanga’s face for a while, suddenly stopped trampling, leaned down, and whispered something into Nanga’s ear.
I couldn’t hear what those words were, but seeing Nanga, who didn’t even flinch when she was trampled like that, flinched, it seemed like there was something there.
“Is it all over now?”
“I’m sorry for showing you my ugly side. Now, all the resentment that has built up between us has been resolved. But what can I say as proof of that….”
Jinta held out his hand to Nanga, who was sitting on the floor and unable to get up, and said.
“Dog, hand.”
Nanga stared at Jinta’s outstretched hand for a long time, then folded her trembling hands on top of Jinta’s hands with an expression as if she was about to cry.
“Did you see it? “We’re okay now.”
“…… “Yeah, yeah.”
“uuu… !! Master!!”
Nanga, with tears in her eyes, looked like she wanted to be held in my arms, but when Jinta, who was next to her, glared at her with his sharp eyes, she gave up and lowered her head.
In this way, the conflict between Jinta and Nanga was resolved and a hierarchy was established among my swords for the first time, but I was not very happy.
