A few meters away from the three we were hiding, a white rabbit was eating some leaves from a bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aah! It’s so cute~\" Alicia cheerfully said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it’s almost a shame that I have to kill it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why?\" she asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shhhhh.\" I hushed her with my index finger in front of my lips. \"It’s easy prey. We need to eat, so it can’t be helped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" She was going to protest, but lowered her face, thinking about the situation. \"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for being understanding. I’ll do it quickly, so it doesn’t suffer much.\" I said to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned myself towards the rabbit once more. The distance between us was enough so it might run far from my grasp the second it heard my footsteps. I needed to get closer to the animal much faster than it could escape from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Valkyrie Tamer class had some options among my skills. Out of my original skills, Ero Boost was the most useful for the situation. However, I didn’t want to use it and suffer from its side effects. The other ones, Healing Fluids and Tamer Appraisal, were useless for my current objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, I didn’t have just these. My relationship with Sarah granted me access to her skills from her Swordmaster class. I looked up my offensive powers in my system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Flash Thrasher: This skill makes the user unleash a sequence of three fast attacks. The user’s Agility is also temporarily increased during the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cost: 6 MP ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Thunderblade: This skill charges the user’s sword with electricity for one strike. This attack becomes faster than regular ones. It doesn’t improve your agility stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cost: 5 MP ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two powerful skills for a beginner, both with a low cost of mana. Thinking about which I should use, Thunderblade wouldn’t make me close the gap between me and my prey, different from Flash Thrasher, so I decided on the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed deeply. It wasn’t the first time that I used a sword or killed a living being, but it was the first time I used Sarah’s skill. ’Well, there is a first time for everything.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Flash Thrasher!’ I called my power using my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body dashed towards the rabbit with an agility beyond my usual self. The closest I had reached to that velocity was when I used Ero Boost, but even back then I wasn’t so fast. When I realized it, the white fur ball was within my sword’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It jumped, trying to escape my thrust. But I didn’t lose the opportunity, slashing its belly with my blade, killing it with one blow, dirtying its white fur with crimson blood. I took its body by the foot, showing it to Alicia. \"Now we have our meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was impressive, Rick!\" Alicia said with an amazed voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it was...\" I barely responded to her, my mind remembering the red-haired girl that was with us yesterday. I shook my head to push these thoughts out of my mind. Of course I missed Sarah, but thinking about her like that wouldn’t do me any good. As soon as we reached the next town, I could meet her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!\" My thoughts were interrupted by a guttural sound. The silence between Alicia and me was broken by a growl coming from the princess’ belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pffff! Hahaha hahaha!\" I couldn’t help but laugh at this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not funny!\" Alicia cried angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s quite funny, actually. I think the old bread wasn’t enough to fill your stomach,\" I playfully said to her. \"I am also missing better food. Let’s stop somewhere and prepare this meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm!\" Alicia nodded to me, but her eyes focused on something at my back, her face expressing horror. She hesitantly pointed at it. \"Rick, what is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I looked behind my back, it was something disturbing looking at me. And when I say looking, it was the only thing that thing could do, but I was still shocked by the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eye. A perfect copy of a human eye was floating in thin air, staring at us. I hastily swung my sword, cutting the eye into two pieces. The eye fragments returned to their original clay color, breaking into smaller pieces that were carried by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rick, what was that?\" Alicia asked me, still tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled Alicia by her wrist in a hurry. \"We need to go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are on our track! Quick!\" I told her, going as far as I could away from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch! My eye!\" Justine screamed as if someone had punched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ok?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my Magical Eye was destroyed. It’ll take a while, but I’m going to be fine,\" she responded to me with her left eye closed under the glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was that Rick guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Erina. His appearance matched the physical description that they gave to us,\" Justine said, blinking her eye like mad. \"And he is with Alicia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled widely when I heard her. It was just a hunch of mine, but I hit the target right in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the people gathered to confront me in the inn, I pulled out the Silver Fang card, telling them that I would take responsibility for all the damage that I caused there. I also decided to pay for their meals at the tavern for the night, so I got rid of the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still needed someone to stay in the town to ensure that all would be restored, so I asked Bernardo and James to do that as my representatives. They were opposed at first, but when I convinced James that I would arrange a date with one of my sisters, he happily agreed, convincing Bernardo to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justine looked at me as if I was some kind of scoundrel, throwing my responsibilities onto other people, but I ignored her. Justine takes things very seriously. What is wrong with dividing my work with my underlings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, since I was going to pay for the night, I decided to stay by the tavern, while the others were going to sleep. I stayed there talking with some old folks that opened up to me after some cups of beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to marry me, miss? Hic!\" the man next to me said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, but you’re not my type.\" I politely said to the old man who had too much to drink. For some reason, the guys are asking me out today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe I’m really that pretty!’ I thought, amazed by the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Really? You too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you asked another girl? I’ll be jealous.\" I played with the drunk. \"Is she here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that girl Sarah isn’t here, maybe she left for some adventure or something. Hic!\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Sarah caught my interest. I saw Diane running away carrying Alicia out of town, right? Something was not right, but I couldn’t point out what. It was like an uneasy worm inside my brain, asking me to investigate more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl, Sarah, she is an adventurer, right? Does she have companions?\" I asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why do you want to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, since I was little I wanted to be an adventurer,\" I lied to him, trying to make the drunk spill the beans. \"I would like to meet her party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see, my lady. But sadly, there are only guys in her party...\" he said, gulping his beer once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? How many are they?\" I asked him patiently, trying the best feminine voice that I could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think there are two... No. One. I heard that one of them left town.\" he responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, her other party member, who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the information from the old man and gave him to his friends so he wouldn’t sleep in the tavern. I confirmed the info with people that were sober, so I got a good description of this Rick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brain didn’t stop thinking about him. His party member was with Alicia, and then she vanished. Diane made that weird appearance. All of this is strange as hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they were all together in the princess kidnapping? What if Diane was a decoy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the map and thought as if I was trying to mislead the Silver Fang. It was just a hunch, but I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to make a little night trip to stretch my legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t ask more of Bernardo and James. I already put too many things on their shoulders, so I just couldn’t interrupt their sleep. I’m not insensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I just woke up Justine instead. She is already accustomed to following me since we were little kids, so there is no problem. I grabbed my old friend with magical powers and entered the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a hunch, but when we found traces of fire, I got excited and asked her to use her Magical Eye, an earth magic that creates a clay eye which she could share her vision with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think that we would find Alicia like this?\" Justine said, her left eye finally going back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But isn’t that great! Our loss is very close to turning into a win.\" I smiled at Justine. \"After that, we’ll score a big promotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1571,"2026-06-03T13:47:40.002Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c5e171ef463095c053a06b1ac537d7e424cd9b24113e26ae6bc8bee3f04a35b","how-i-tame-my-valkyrie-harem-chapter-55","how-i-tame-my-valkyrie-harem-chapter-53",195,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-i-tame-my-valkyrie-harem-cover.jpg"]
