THE SECRET BEHIND FRENZY

We've sparred longer than I thought.

This made for good exercise for me too.

After all, compared to the magic group yesterday,

the physical team followed suit without complaining.

The training went on smoothly, to my surprise.

Still, I'm really no match against you.

In the end, I couldn't land a single blow on you.

Yeah...

One strike from you would be fatal to me...

So I was desperate too.

In terms of pure strength, you've already surpassed the average knight.

But...

I can't land a blow...

I'll use Frenzy, then!

Wait, no, don't!

You have a tendency to rely on your Frenzy when you're outnumbered or emotional.

Party members getting out of control lead to a breakdown in formation.

Refrain from activating it when you have your comrades around.

N-Now that you mentioned it...

Sorry...

This is fine.

If I can't tell the details about Frenzy to her,

I can point out her flaw and get her to take care of herself.

My safety will be assured this way.

It's no exaggeration that today's training was meant for me to tell her this!

Hana!

If you want some more water, you can have my tea if you like.

But then you'll get less to drink...

You're out of water?

Just take mine, then.

Hitamuki, you make sure to stay hydrated yourself.

Okay!

I only have a mana bottle...

Mana bottle?

I trained the complaining team— I mean...

The magical team yesterday, after all.

If we had time, I'd let her replenish her mana,

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and do some target shooting...

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

But in the end, I ended up not using it.

Well, this will still quench your thirst, no problem.

Thank you, Sir.

This is my first time drinking it...

So sweet... tasty...

Next are some general remarks about you, Hitamuki.

You move around too much, you're wasting your energy.

Waste?!

Even though you have more stamina than me, that's the reason you get tired now.

Don't go for the win immediately, but instead try to learn...

...how to make your opponents move and tire themselves out.

Okay! I'll do my best with dedication!

I'm recommending a tactic you'd consider rather dirty, though,

but do you really get it?

Whew...

Comin' at ya with full power!

Why? How?!

That state...

Frenzy?!

Where's he?

Hitamuki, where's he?

Uhh... He went to pick flowers...

I mean, he went to buy drinks!

No, wait! He went on patrol!

She's a lousy liar!

But what's the meaning of this?

The moment she drank that, she started acting weird...

Please ask about Lady Hanabata from her friend, Lady Tokishikko.

Hello, Master?

Yeah.

Yeah...

She's activated Frenzy after drinking a mana bottle?

Oh, she's just drunk from mana.

Drunk?

In short, she got intoxicated by an overdose of magic.

But that would mean her usual Frenzy would be that she's drunk from mana too...

Right...

You see, Frenzy is...

...normally a process of sending mana from the body to the brain,

then removes one's autosuggestion and limiters.

That's what it's supposed to be, but...

In her case, the stage of collecting mana in the brain causes overcapacity...

Comin' at ya with full power!

...and she gets drunk before the skill's even activated.

So she couldn't remove her autosuggestion?

FRENZY X INTOXICATION O So she couldn't remove her autosuggestion?

STAMINA > ATTACK > DEFENCE > Her power and toughness are first-class,

MAGIC DEFENCE > MAGIC ATTACK Her power and toughness are first-class,

but her magic resistance is so low that she can't even withstand her own mana.

What an unbalanced status...

So the thing she'd been using wasn't Frenzy all along?

Nope. As for her servants...

FRENZY They'd call it Flower Frenzy

FRENZY from the off-season flowering.

FLOWER FRENZY That name fits her perfectly.

The mana that's lost control circulates fast and reinforces the whole body,

so it's less taxing than the reckless Frenzy with the limiter off.

She's using mana rapidly, so the duration should be short.

The beautiful flower has a short life, huh...

Hitamuki, you're so soft!

You can't do that, Hana! I'm drenched in sweat...

You smell nice...

No...

An overdose of mana, huh...

The effect's longer than usual.

Hitamuki, you're so kind and warm...

I love you~

I'm... so happy...

But this is too embarrassing!

Two big assets colliding with each other... Wowzer...

Hey, I can hear Hitamuki screaming there. What are you doing?

You're so tasty, just like that juice.

That juice...?

I want more!

Nothing will come out of these!

I can't produce milk yet!

Key's here too! Please stop!

Wait, is he here?!

Key...

He's not here!

A paragon of someone who won't sell out her friend!

You're a liar!

Hana...

I'm not your mama...

Hey, Tokishikko.

Hm?

Can I hang up now?

I'll bet you want to record some boob videos after this, right?

No way.

I'd love to help Hitamuki, who has defended me and is getting attacked by Hanabata now,

but unfortunately...

I still want to live.

I love you! I still want to live.

I love you!

For some reason, it's only me that she'd give a bear hug to.

Maybe because you're special, and she has an uncontrollable feeling within...

Could it be not "like"...

...but "love"?

I don't recall her showing that kind of emotion to me.

Besides, she's been like that since we first met.

I don't know...

Despite being rotten, you're still Mebuki's ace,

so there's also the pattern that she's already found out about you first.

How am I rotten? I'm working myself to the bone, you know?

How about trying to face her with full wounds for now?

Huh? Why?

The fact that she likes you still doesn't change at least.

If she sees you hurt, she won't be able to do anything reckless.

Okay, thanks.

I guess I should try it out for future reference.

Sir!

What happened?!

I went to buy drinks... when I was attacked by another hunter!

What do we do?!

Wait, you shouldn't be fooled, Hitamuki.

That's why... I'll be dead if I get hit by you...

That looks painful...

GRAB That looks painful...

GRAB U-Uhh...

U-Uhh...

Sh-She's licking my... thumb...

Her warm, soft tongue crawls around my thumb stickily... Wait!

No, I can't! I'm afraid of what comes next!

Have you healed?

I think I'm still hurt... over here!

Sir...

Wait, wait, wait. I didn't have any other choice.

If I'm fit and healthy, I could be squeezed again with tremendous force.

Don't get the wrong idea.

This is the best method to manage this situation.

Y-Yes! You're right!

I'm glad it's Hitamuki who's with me now.

If I could find a way to resolve this, Frenzy is actually not a bad technique.

As long as she doesn't do damage to friendlies,

we can get rid of the only demerit from this technique.

Besides, the sober Hanabata would never allow herself to have this much physical contact.

In the meantime, I'll break away when the time is right, before she sobers up.

I'll just go with the flow until then...

Err...

What was it, again?

Frenzy?

I...

I hate this technique.

THE BEST METHOD
