“Most of the time when someone shows up in a pinch, it's usually the hero, but in this case, it seems the mascot is the one who shows up”

“Most of the time when someone shows up in a pinch, it’s usually the hero, but in this case, it seems the mascot is the one who shows up”

“I guess I’m going to have to bring that thing out now. I didn’t expect it to be unveiled so soon, though…….”

There were people who were prepared for such an occasion, saying things like, “I prepared this in advance,” but this time it was just a coincidence.

It was when I was mixing the ores I had collected up to that point to see what I could do. To my surprise, a superalloy was accidentally created. The name was [Orichalcum], which was a well-known ore or alloy of various kinds, but in a word, it was an “amazing material”.

And if I, who possessed the skill of [Golem Creation], got my hands on such an amazing material, you know what I would use it for……right?

“Robo Rangerrrrrr—!!” (+)

With a voice that sounded like something you might have heard in a robot anime, I pulled out an object from Storage. It was a huge golem with a golden glow.

It was about three and a half meters in size and looked so much like a golem that anyone who saw it would be tempted to ask where the robot element came from.

“Mrr.”

And, like always, the golem that I created sounds stupid. I wasn’t sure if this was the case with the golems of this world, or if it was just my golem, but at any rate, it certainly didn’t seem appropriate for this tense situation.

“Mrr.”

“Proto, it’s a little ahead of schedule, but we’re putting it into practice for a test run!”

As the Robo Ranger stepped onto the ground, the face part of the Robo Ranger opened up to reveal Proto sitting in what appeared to be a cockpit. For the record, Proto and Robo Ranger could be stored in Storage, as they were not living creatures.

To be honest, Proto had only been useful as a mascot, so I had been looking for ways to use it in various ways, and now that Robo Ranger had been created, I decided to use it as a test pilot.

Not only that but also because of its strong desire, it was highly doubtful how capable the Rock Golem, which was made as a prototype, would be as a pilot. However, I employed Proto as a pilot because I thought that if it didn’t work, I would just have to think of the next plan.

By the way, the results of the analysis of Robo Ranger’s capabilities were as follows.

…That was all. There were many things I would like to elaborate on, but I didn’t have time to explain them right now. So let me just say this one word…”Because it’s a fantasy!” Even when robots that appeared in tokusatsu hero movies were in a fantasy world……. (+)

“Guooo!”

“Stop that thing, Robo Ranger!”

“Mrr.”

Following my instructions, Proto who was inside operated the Robo Ranger and rushed forward to stop the Skull Dragon’s movement. Since its speed stat was higher than that of the Skull Dragon, it was able to catch up with its opponent’s movement and succeeded in blocking it.

“Gooooooo! [Robo Ranger Punch]!”

“Mrr.”

The Robo Ranger, attached to the Skull Dragon, raised its right fist and punched the Skull Dragon in the face. Even though Skull Dragon had a body that specialized in its physical abilities, it was not unscathed by the orichalcum alloy fist, and it was only slightly wounded.

Perhaps not liking this, the Skull Dragon went on a rampage in an attempt to shake off the Robo Ranger, but the overwhelming durability of the Skull Dragon did not deter Robo Ranger.

“Step away! From there, [Robo Ranger Kick]!”

“Mrr.”

Air currents were expelled like a jet from the injection port on the bottom part of its foot, allowing Robo Ranger, once it escaped into the air, to deliver a dashing kick like a hero based on the motif of that grasshopper.

“Gaaaa!”

“Good, it’s working, it’s working.”

Although not fatally damaged, the Skull Dragon, whose balance had been thrown off by the sheer force of the Robo Ranger Kick, seemed to be tangled in mid-air, and it raised an abhorrent cry.

At times like this, tokusatsu heroes usually had light background music playing, but for some unknown reason, the background music in my head was that of a rampaging Shogun defeating bad guys.

I had no idea why that BGM was playing in my head, even though Robo Ranger’s appearance had nothing of the Shogun’s. However, strangely enough, it fits the current Robo Ranger.

“Guooo!”

“Breath. [Robo Ranger Shield]!”

“Mrr.”

Although it was called a “Shield,” no shield actually appeared, but simply used Robo Ranger’s own body as a shield to catch the opponent’s attacks. It was a technique in accordance with the spirit of “I’ll take all the attacks from my opponent,” which was common in professional wrestling.

Whether this should be called a technique or not was left aside at this point, since a material more durable than a body made of orichalcum alloy had not been found at present, I intended to make it a shield if I ever found one……. If only I could find it, though…….

The Skull Dragon and the Robo Ranger fought several times, but neither of them was able to make an attack that would move the tide of the battle, and the time just slowly ticked away. Then, perhaps fed up with the situation, it was Skull Dragon that made the first move.

“Guuuu!”

“This is bad, its maximum output breath is coming, Proto, come here. Cooperate with me, and let’s use our special moves.”

“Mrr.”

Robo Ranger reacted quickly to my instructions and took up a position next to me. From this point on, it was down to the final battle, with both sides hanging on to each other’s special moves.

“Let’s go, Proto put all the magic you can muster into maximum output.”

“Mrr.”

The posture was similar to that of the hero of a manga in which a wish-fulfilling ball appeared when he collected seven of them and unleashed a special move, bringing his hands to his waist.

From there, we concentrated all the magical power in my body into its hands and created a pure white ball. The opponent, Skull Dragon, was aware of our attack, but realizing that it could not interfere even if it wanted to because it, too, was about to make its maximum attack, it concentrated on its own attack.

The magic power gathered in the hands of Robo Ranger and myself took shape and a huge ball was completed. As soon as the ball was completed, the Skull Dragon seemed to be ready to attack and was about to unleash one of its largest breaths at us.

“Let’s go, Proto. Special Skill [Turtle…Hame…Waaaaaveeeee]!!!”

“Mrr!”

By now, you might have already noticed it. The special skill was based on the same principle as the special skill of the main character in a manga, in which the magic power inside the body was concentrated to a single point and then released all at once. Turtle Hame Wave……In Japanese it was Kamehame……Cough, let’s not go any further. Someone was going to get mad at me. (+)

At the same time we unleashed the Turtle Hame Wave, the Skull Dragon also unleashed its greatest attack, the Breath. The two massive forces collided, and their power was like a hand-pushing sumo match.

Although I felt that if I relaxed even a little, everything would be swallowed up, I inspired myself that if I failed, everything would be over, and I shouted at Proto.

“Proto! We don’t have enough power!! More power!!”

“M-mrr!!”

Even as I was screaming that the balance began to shift. The Skull Dragon’s breath had begun to push our Turtle Hame Wave and was closing in on us. We tried to push back, but since we were already at maximum output, we had no more energy left.

It was getting closer and closer, and just as the breath was about to hit us, the power of the Skull Dragon’s breath weakened. Even the mighty Skull Dragon could not bear to imagine the burden of a maximum attack with everything it had at stake, and its breath momentarily broke apart.

“Now! Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Mrr!!!!”

There was no way I would miss that split-second opening, so we gave it everything we had and released our magic power as if it were a match. The breath that had been so fierce until now was now being pushed back, and finally, a torrent of magical power that covered the entire body of the Skull Dragon attacked it.

“Guaaaaaaaa”

Screaming with pain, the Skull Dragon was finally blasted into the dungeon wall and continued to be hit by the Turtle Hame Wave. The magical power condensed to a single point and began to melt the Skull Dragon’s body. It tried to escape from the Turtle Hame Wave, but there was no way to escape from the sheer power of the wave.

Finally, unable to withstand the attack, the Skull Dragon finally vanished with a final, desperate cry. This was the moment that brought an end to the fierce battle that had never been fought before.

“Did we… win?”

“Mrr, Mrr!”

For a moment, I couldn’t swallow the situation and looked dumbfounded, but as soon as I realized that I had won this battle, I pumped my fist into the heavens and shouted loudly, despite my age. Ah……come to think of it, I was only twelve years old.

“We won!!”

“Mrr!”

Sharing with Proto that I had survived the toughest battle. I was happy to have survived the fiercest battle I had ever experienced in this world.

However, the situation was not so carefree and I decided that it would be better to get out of here immediately, so I tried to store the Robo Ranger with Proto in the storage and escape…….

“H-huh?”

Suddenly, my vision became distorted and a sense of weariness came over me. Perhaps I had used too much magic power and was running out of it.

“D-damn! A-at this rate…”

I managed to get up and attempted to escape, but I could not resist the sensation that was coming over me, and finally, I fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
