I Decided to Not Compete and Quietly Create Dolls Instead

Chapter 33

Chapter 33

I swung about my sword recklessly, and cut the treads of the marionettes one after another .
?
?
70, 71, 72?? .
?
?
I’ve still got ways to go, this isn’t enough .
?
?
A mountain of felled marionettes gathered around me .
It might’ve been a vague estimate, but the number of bodies had definitely crossed 200 .
You needed a considerable number to match it .
?
?
83, 84, 85?? .
?
?
B?it by bit, my vision blurred . I’d begun entering the danger zone . ?
?I wanted to cross the 100 mark, but now was a good time to stop . ?
?I didn’t want it the end with me overdoing it and fainting . Because it was nothing but the beginning of the counterattack .
?
??90 .
?
?
Cancelling the magic, I returned from the supersonic world .
All my muscles must have torn due to the intense movements . I couldn’t even stand . If I didn’t block the pain, I might have fainted .
I fell down .
?
?
What caught me wasn’t the earth heated up by the summers blaze .
It was someone’s cold arm .
?
?
?
?
?Please forgive the late I, milady . ?
?
?
A little hard to hear, and a peculiar way of speaking with archaic words mixed in .
It wasn’t a bit different from what I’d heard 2 years ago .
“He” sets out a black overcoat that was tailored from the old Viole Dynasty under the tree shade, and he lays my body down gently .
?
?
?…Why are you here??
?
?
Didn’t he decide not to meet till he was conferred the title of a knight?

?
?
?As Solut-dono requested of me .
Stating that ?It is extremely unnatural for her to be detained for so long in the empire . I entrust you with my daughter . ??
?
?
Cristoff Deugene . Better known as the Wandering Earl .
The paleness of his face was unchanged .
?
(……Alty, ya’ made a good-for-nothing fella yer’ subordinate, didn’t ya?)
?
?
“Rattle rattle”, Weiss trembled in my hand .
?
?
(You know the Earl?)
?
?
(It ain’t such a shallow association .
This fella, ya see, is a great thief who outsmarted the great I an’ snatched away my ”arm”)
?
?
I see .
The Earl could use freeze magic that was unusual for an Earl, but it seems that it was originally something from Weiss
?
?
?Hmm . ‘Tis quite a nostalgic presence from that sword .
Nonetheless let us leave the reminiscing for later .
If our opponent is the Philosopher’s’ Stone, my aged magic shall be of use .
??Now then, be my witness . ?

A?nd thus, the Earl began an aria . ?
?Unchanging from two years ago, it was a sonorous and beautiful voice . ?
?It was to the extent that it gave me an illusion as if I were witnessing an opera .
?
(?Tch, if I hadn’t been tricked by this magic, I would’ve won)?
?It must have stirred up a bitter memory . ?
?Weiss turned over in an angry manner . ?
?I wondered which side was the back of the sword . Well, nevermind .
*?
*?
*?
*?
……The ancient magic woke me up, and my world was repainted .
The blues skies and the garden filled with greenery disappeared, and a desert of thirst enveloped in darkness merged .
*?
*?
*?
*?
I thought it was only a magic to show beautiful scenery, but for it to be useful in such a manner .
(I’m thankful, Earl . With this we can battle to our hearts content . )?
S?trong winds erupted with Kajero at its centre . ?
?It was for the sake of destroying the shackles made by the Philosopher’s Stone .
(Well done, Evil Earl . )
Till just a while back Walf’s swod had become thin like a Rapier, but now its flames were leaping about like a soaring sea eagle [1] .
*
*?
*?
*?

*?
*?
*?
I?t was overwhelming . it was an easier task than even pulling out weeds for the spirits who had regained their original strength . The battle ended in less than ten seconds . ?
?
?
The Earl’s magic was undone, and we returned to the summer day that we’d come to the extent of getting tired of .
?
?
(A total 272 bodies……the fruits of the battle were excellent, all that’s left is to pack them . )
?
?
Kajero spoke while patting the dust off his clothes .
?
?
(The birds have already gathered the location of the doll maker .
It’s not a small number going about in defence, but if we can disable the Philosophers Stone, it’s not a big deal .
Since there’s only the 4 of us, raiding might be the best option . )
?
?
I nodded at Kajero’s plan .

……As per the records in the future, there were no casualties in Garret Castle due to the attack, and even the injured could be easily counted .
This was by no means an exaggeration .
?
?
All the people at the palace left behind such a testimony .
?Since even the cats and mice were running in the same direction, we decided to follow them .
Thanks to that that we were saved . ?
……Actually, Kajero instructed the animals to evacuate .
Thanks to appearance of the Earl, the situation had been settled to a great extent .
From the start till the doll maker surrendered, barely half an hour had passed .

I, who overdid it with a body that hadn’t even been properly trained was unable to even roll over .
?
?
?I-I’m extremely sorry . As a result of me strolling in the garden alone……?
?
?
The one crying her eyes out red while applying recovery magic, was the noblewoman we had just rescued from the dolls .
She gave off an air of resemblance to King Lereol I felt, no wonder that she was his sister three years elder . Her position was the third princess .
?
?
?I shall definitely repay this favour of having saved my life .
That’s why please don’t die by any means . ?
?
?
I wondered if it’s a reaction of my ultra high speed battle, but my limbs were in an awful state due to internal bleeding or something .
……Actually, if I’d gulped down the miracle drug, I’d be able to manage one way or another, but the atmosphere was bad for speaking out .
?
?
?Ahh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry—?
?
?
The animals had brought over the medicine, but sensing the unapproachable atmosphere, they huddled together far away .
?*
*?
*?
*?
Before long, Kajero and the others caught the doll maker and returned .
He was grabbing Weiss in his hand, or rather forced to grab him . His body’s control had been robbed of him, and it was much more effective than poorly made handcuffs .
The doll maker gave an impression of being a scrawny ascetic monk at first sight .
He had receding hair and on top of it had an awful scowl on his face . He had rags over his tanned skin .
?
?
?Don’t think you’ve won with this, young girl!?
?
?
Upon seeing me, the doll maker shouted with a face that seemed as if it’d bite me any time .
?
?
?You’ve grown self-conceited being called the Doll Princess and whatnot, but aren’t you just someone who found an ally in a powerful spirit by chance!
As a genuine puppeteer, my way is much superior, can you move more than 1000 dolls at once? It’s impossible, right!?
?
?
With his gaze, Kajero asked ?Should we shut him up?? .
I shook my head
The battle ended without me even using ordinary doll magic . Due to that I was feeling somewhat dissatisfied .
Let’s try it since he’s especially asked .
?
?
I lightly took a breath .
I imagined countless threads shooting out from the top of my head .
The 1243 marionettes that had lost the connection to the doll maker joined me .

??Every single one rushed to this place and gathered . In neat ranks .
Within 5 minutes that order was put into action .
?
?
?Hmph, if it’s to that extent, even someone at a novice level can do it!?
?
?
The doll maker once again shouted out something .
?
?
?If that’s so, rather than this, I’ll steal the dolls and if I protect them till the end, won’t I be recognised as a full fledged doll maker?
However, I can’t use magic as I am now . Set me free!?
?
?
……What is this guy rambling on about .
Why do we need to take the trouble to set free an enemy we captured, I wondered .
He’ll escape and counterattack, it’s an option filled with only big risks .
?
?
?Well, I wonder if it’s fine to denounce me as a pseudo-doll maker in this way . ?
?
?
Somehow, even keeping him company seemed like a pain in the neck .
?
?
(Kajero, I’ll leave the rest to you . )
?
?
(Understood . Weiss has already read all the information .
There isn’t any use of it, let’s hand him over to this country’s judiciary . )
?
?
The dolls promptly took him along .
He spewed a lot of abusive curses, but none entered my ears .
*?

Here my memories break off for a while .
?
?
T?here was the fact that I’d been relieved after overcoming a desperate crisis, and due to having made myself the target of the doll magic both my mind and body were tired . Before I knew it, a deep slumber embraced me . ?
?Within the awfully vivid dreams I fulfilled the unexpected encounter, and by the time my eyes reopened, a few days had passed . ?
?
?
Thankfully, there wasn’t a third sudden attack .
But it wasn’t as if it passed by uneventfully . A surprising incident occurred .
?
?
The enemy used the summoning magic a second time .
Kajero responded to that on purpose . It was to expose the true nature of the opponent .
Later on, all that was left was his shell, or so as to say, the Italian Mafia soft toy .
