Chapter 136: Genos Breaker

Chapter 136: Genos Breaker

[Yuusuke, wake up.]

Michelle’s voice woke me up.

We should be in our bedroom, but there was no light around us.

It was still dark outside the window, and I could barely make out the outline of Michelle’s face.

[What’s the matter, is it morning already?]

I can wake up well in the morning, but my body still needs sleep.

It should still be pretty early at the moment.

However, it’s quite unusual for Michelle to wake me up.

Even though she’d normally just stare at my face while I sleep......

[Yuusuke, listen. It’s raining!]

Rain?

It’s not snowing, but raining......

I see, the constant sound pounding against the roof does sound like rain.

[Spring has finally come huh......]

[That’s not all. Listen carefully.]

[Hmm......]

Goro goro goro......

Upon realizing what she meant, I jumped out of the bed.

It was faint, but I heard the distant rumble of thunder.

[It’s finally here!]

[Yes, it’s time for Yuusuke to use your Clairvoyance. I’ll back you up.]

[Got it!]

Sitting on the bed, I immediately activated my magic.

I then chose the most convenient area we could work from the list of lightning strike locations within a 10-kilometer radius.

[This one is deep in the woods and inaccessible to people. This one...... is no good, we won’t make it there on time. Then this one...... could work! We’re gonna go here!!!]

Choosing the best location, I then deactivated my Clairvoyance.

However, my heart was immediately assaulted with pain and I felt like curling up in agony.

[Yuusuke!]

[I’m alright. Don’t worry about me, just ring the bell. Within three hours, we have to be near a lone cedar tree in the eastern forest. It’s near Mani-san’s shrine.]

[Alright.]

Michelle hurriedly ran.

I’ve already asked the residents of Luganda for their cooperation about this in advance.

They promised that they would come running if they were notified when lightning was about to strike.

Klang! Klang! Klang!

The sound of the alarm bell being struck by Michelle echoed outside the window.

From this point on, it would be a race against time.

This is also a job where failure is absolutely not an option.

Stifling the pain, I changed out of my clothes and headed for the plaza.

Almost all the residents had gathered in the still-dark plaza.

[Everyone, thank you for coming even though it’s quite early. The day has finally come for us to unseal the Zord. We need everyone’s help!]

Feeling excited that the Zord was about to move, the people waited for my instructions.

[First, we need to get the Zord near a lone cedar tree in the forest east of here.]

It may sound like I’m saying something easy, but this is a really tough task.

The Zord weighs 130 tons.

That would be the equivalent of the three tanks. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

It’s an outrageous task to carry this with human power.

However, this is another world, and I’m the owner of the miraculous dagashi shop.

I know that was an unreasonable request, but here in another world, asking that is acceptable.

However, at that moment, a thick dead branch fell onto the cable connecting the lone cedar tree to the converter.

And to make matters worse, the cable had come loose from the converter.

[Oh no!]

Michelle ran towards the converter.

I hurried after her.

[Don’t bother anymore, Michelle! We’re running out of time!]

[No! I’ll make sure it’s connected!]

Michelle held the end of the cable and tried to attach it to the converter, but a branch was blocking her way.

We’re clearly running out of time.

With her like that, I’ll have to use this dagashi!

Product name: Daradarashitenjaneyo!

Description: A dagashi made from fish paste. Eating it will turn one’s body metallic.

Price: 50 rims

I heard that many adventurers eat it when dealing with monsters’ powerful attacks.

It would turn your body into a lump of iron, so you apparently wouldn’t be affected even when exposed to a Dragon’s breath.

If we eat this, we should survive lightning strikes.

Heck, having a metallic body might even conduct electricity better.

[Michelle!]

As Michelle turned towards me by my call, I fed the dagashi to her mouth-to-mouth.

With a surprised look on her face, Michelle’s body turned into metal.

With me turning to metal too, I couldn’t move anymore either.

The next moment, a tremendous sound and a torrent of light cut through the air, and a lightning bolt vertically struck through the lone cedar tree.

The raging energy flowed into the cables and ran through our bodies into the converter.

The converted mana then poured into the Genos Breaker.

Perhaps due to the heat, both the converter and the Genos Breaker seemed to burn red.

As people screamed in terror, the eyes of the Genos Breaker shone.

GYAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO———–!!!

The coniferous trees in the forest trembled at the roar of the Genos Breaker.

[It has finally been restored huh......?]

[Fo fo fo, it has been a long time......]

Everyone looked horrified, but Mani-san was the only one with a satisfied smile on his face.

[We did it, Yahagi-san!]

I heard Merle’s voice congratulating me, but we still couldn’t move.

After all, as all the citizens looked on, we have turned into a lump of iron in the middle of a kiss......

Geez, I’m gonna die from embarrassment here.

It’s just, well, I have this feeling that Michelle is absolutely delighted.

GYAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO———–!!!

Meanwhile, the Genos Breaker seemed to be in good spirits under the thundering rain.
