Daybreak Summoner Chapter 24 Part 2 (Patreon)

"Rin-chan, you know..., she always said that you were someone she admired and that it was a goal she would overcome someday."
"..."
Anger wells up in Rei's chest.
She was Rinna's longed-for older sister, the one she had been searching for all her life.
She had not seen her in several years.
Why did that girl have to look like that?
"I came out to Royal Capital to get a clue about you. And yet, what are you doing...? "
"...Shut up."
As the words were exchanged, the clash of weapons never stopped.
As they exchange a furious exchange of words, Rei expresses his thoughts to Dinna.
"Rin-chan... what the heck are you doing, making that precious little girl of mine look like that!"
"I said shut up!"
Dinna, who had been keeping a blank expression on her face, revealed her anger for the first time.
Her precise and unparalleled spear swing changed to a wild one.
"You...what do you know!"
With force, he breaks Rei's stance and slashes at her with the tip of his spear.
"Agh!"
The wound is a deep cut on her arm of the left arm, and it bleeds heavily.
But not so much that she cannot move.
She readies her sword with both hands again and looks at the enemy.
Dinna has regained her composure and confronts him at a slight distance.
"...I've been waiting for you to exert that power, but no more. If you can't get it out, I'm going to crush you for real."
"Serious...? Are you saying that until now, you've been holding back...? "
Rei hoped she was bluffing.
Dinna digs into her pocket, pulls out her cane, and smiles wryly.
"Hmph, have you forgotten? I'm a summoner."
And one more thing: a blue jewel.
This reminds her of what Rinna said to her before.
She said she had only seen an S-class Summoning ball that from her sister.
"Here it comes, come S-class summon...! "
Hopeless.
Dinna and the S-class summon, even one-on-one, the odds are slim, and now it's two-on-one.
It would be impossible to stop the summon.
Dinna is not likely to show such an opening.
But there was no way she could give up.
She bites down on her teeth and grips her sword tightly.
"Oh. You're not going to give up at this point, are you?"
Dinna inserts a blue jewel into the tip of his staff.
When she raised the staff high, a blue light flooded out.
"Come forth, Su--"
"Alright, Stoop."
Behind Dinna, a woman suddenly appeared without a sound or sign.
She had long silver hair and a robe that was wide open at the chest.
She is smiling bewitchingly and pulling the jewel out of Dinna's staff.
"What do you think you're doing, Dinna, you're not supposed to be here yet..."
"...tsk."
Dinna clicks her tongue in annoyance and sends out Gungnir.
The silver-haired woman smiles smugly and speaks to Rei and Rinna.
"Hi. This is the third time we've met, you two. Oops, I guess it's a pleasure to meet you guys."
"You are...? "
An unknown person appeared while she was wounded.
Without releasing her stance, she asks with her sword clenched in her hand.
The exchange between the two is enough to guess that she is probably one of Dinna's companions.
"You're called Rei-chan, right? Thank you for playing with my little Red Dragon-chan and Orthrus-chan."
"...! You are the summoner who attacked Rin-chan...!"
The woman bowed with a theatrical gesture and introduced herself.
"I am Helena, and my Seven Armed Seven Arms is the Magic Accessory Brísingamen. Nice to meet you."
She flashed her right bracelet, inlaid with red, blue, green, and yellow gemstones, while showing it off with a wave of her hand.
"Helena... Who are you people? What on earth do you want! "
"Purpose? Did you think I'm going to tell you? As for who we are... well, let's see."
Helena gestures a little thoughtfully.
Her attitude is still somewhat theatrical.
"Those who have been chosen as the blades of the seven heroes.... I think I'll call them the "Seven Hero Blades". Hmmm...for an impromptu name, that's pretty good..."
"The Seven Hero Blades...!"
The enemy has finally revealed itself.
Helena, the summoner who threatened Rinna's life.
Rei stares at her with hostility...
"Well, it's time to go home, Dinna...see you later, Rei-chan. Maybe one of my friends will visit you soon, hmmm."
"...Summoned Beast. Next time we meet, I'll kill you for sure."
The next moment, the two disappeared from the scene without a trace, as if using some kind of trick.
There was no sign of anyone around them, only a dimly lit grassy field under a cloudy sky.
"They're gone..., what are they trying to do...? "
Sheathing her sword, she lets her guard down.
If the enemy is gone, there is only one thing to do.
"...Rin-chan."
Rei approaches the sitting Rinna.
Perhaps noticing Rei's presence, Rinna slowly turns her head.
"...ah, Rei...I..."
She crouches down and hugs Rinna.
Rei doesn't know what to say to her.
"Big sis...why...how..."
Tears begin to fall from Rinna's eyes.
Rei could only hug her as she silently wept.
