《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 21: No Hand
Advertisement
Yellow's eyes are bloodshot. With an angry scream, he charges towards the captain.
I can intercept Yellow here, but I doubt that the captain will immediately assist me. It may just become another 1v1.
In that case, I shall let Yellow reach Captain Greene. Then, I will swoop in. That will make it a 2v1.
Yellow takes a wide swing at Greene, the latter easily dodging at the attack.
My turn.
With smooth steps, I position myself at Yellow's left side. Waiting for the proper time that Yellow is not looking, I strike.
Alas, Yellow will not go down with one strike as he still managed to dodge it. Then, I shall strike again. I follow him and keep up the pressure, my sword meeting his in a beautiful dance of blades. However, I mix in a trap.
Every time I push, I make it so that Yellow gets closer and closer to Greene. With Greene not making any sound, Yellow needs to look his way from time to time despite being busy with me. And that makes it easier for me to hit the gap in his armor.
When I finally touched flesh, despite it being shallow, is the moment that the equality has finally shifted, turning into a slight advantage--a small edge in this battle that we shall not waste.
Captain Greene and I move at the same time from different directions. Yellow may be a good swordsman, but since both of us are on par with each other, the addition of one more man against Yellow, plus the antsy wound on his torso, has given me the best advantage I can muster since this started.
I create a feint, then a strike. Yellow tries to block. However, by doing so, the sword cuts a couple of his fingers. An agonizing scream rang throughout the deck as Yellow clutches his injured hand.

Meanwhile, Greene's effort to put his steel inside Yellow has been unsuccessful as White finally steps in to protect his companion. White blocks the strike, forcing Green to step back from the new challenger. Or is he?
"Wait!" White bellows. "Let's put a stop to this already. This situation confuses me a lot. However, let me ask this of you."
White gulps, and so do I.
"Are you the ones who poisoned everyone in the ship?"
"Heck no!" I immediately answer. "It was Yel- I mean, it was Baron Baffoon and his maid who did it!"
"That's not true!" Yellow shouts over his agonizing face. "There is no way I would order something like that. You're the ones who killed them!"
My face twitches at his accusations. The nerve!
But, wait a minute. Is it possible that Yellow really doesn't have a hand-- pfft--on this?
But what about Orange's unnatural involvement in serving the meal?

8 131The blue Astrum of memories
Some of you believe in fate and some of you don't. That's ok in our world. In the world that I created Fate has been acting strange and selfish for a long time.She was always fascinated with humans and the fact that they had soulmates because a lot of other races didn't. Ever since humans started traveling through space, that opened millions of new opportunities for Fate to make the human soulmates meet.However, because of her strange behaviour Fate made too many mistakes.After that, Fate made what she thought, was a good move. What she didn't count on was that the good move she made knew that you can cheat fate. One and his crew don't know how ironic it is that she chose them to make her good move. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.
