Volume 16 - CH 25

Pink, stubby earth.

There are uneven surfaces here and there, like small hills and hollows.

It's hard to walk on, and the dents hide your vision, so you'll want to watch out for surprise attacks from enemies.

「It's kind of interesting, this place!」

「Really, really!」

Marilyn and Lily, who were jumping and enjoying the sensation of the ground, were not very alert, but it would be fine if the other members of the party were alert.

「Oh, there's a sore here, isn't there? I wonder if the headmaster is someone who gets stressed out easily...?」

Nicole said with some concern, but after all, this is the "stomach area".

But is there such a thing as stress in that loli girl?

Even if there is, it shouldn't be too much.

「Nicole, although this is inside the headmaster's body in terms of location, what you see here is not her body itself. The dimensions are different, so don't worry about that.」

Cherry-sensei explained, but it seems that the headmaster told him in detail about that too.

「Oh, so it's okay to eat it!?」

「N-no, Marilyn-kun, you can't do that., you'll get sick.」

Cherry-sensei frowned, but I don't think it's a good idea to eat it. This is the walls of the Forbidden zone.

No matter how you look at it, it looks bad for your health.

「Too bad, it looks so delicious. ......」

Marilyn is bummed, but does it look good?

It's a little bit the type of feeling I don't understand.

It's not that the ground is dirty, but let's say ...... a girl sees a beautiful beach and says, "That looks delicious!" If she start saying that, you will naturally say, "What?".

「Everyone, please be careful. There's a strange smell on the ground.」

Meena warned, but it seems there is something nearby.

「Cherry-sensei, are there any artifacts or forbidden spells near here?」

Just in case, I'll confirm with him.

「No, Alec-kun, there's nothing here. It's just an area to bypass. It's not even marked on the map.」

「I see. Well, then, if you see something, feel free to shoot it, Letty. You can shoot without checking it」

I'll give you the permission.

「Aye aye sir! If that's what you want, then let me be! I think I'll go with the laser beam, or maybe I'll go with the flamespear, Ufufu」

Letty is ready to kill, and I'm sure she'll perform as expected.

「Hmm? Everyone, stop! Did you just see something behind that hill on the right? A white one.」

It seems that Saki has already found the enemy's shadow.

「Let's go in with attack formation. Serina, you go around from the left side.」

「Roger!」

Serina and I draw our swords and step forward. No, magic seems to be a better choice for the enemy here.

I couldn't get a good view of the dented ground, so I used [levitate] to look down from above.

「Pirots!?」

There it is.

A caterpillar-like monster about a meter long was hiding in the hollow.

Its color was pure white and flat. Instead of legs, it had several long, thin, thread-like tentacles that seemed to be standing on their own.

「Hyaaahh!」

Serina shouted her spirit in the hollow on the other side, but it seemed that there was another enemy over there.

「Ja-ja-ja-ja-ja!」

I'm pretty sure this monster is a monster born from highly concentrated magical power, so I'll launch a preemptive attack without question.

Ice spears hit its body in rapid succession.

However, although I succeeded in making it cower, I was unable to pierce it.

This monster may look soft, but it's more stubborn than I thought.

「Pirots! Pirots! Pirots! Piro-ro-ro!」

They emitted a cry that sounded like an electronic sound, and they came out of the hollows all at once.

All around me were enemies.

They were all white caterpillars of the same species.

「Damn, there are so many of them! Letty, put up a barrier or something to protect us all.」

「Heey~, you said I could attack, so I was going to feel good about using the photon laser!」

Letty, who had fired the laser without chanting, complained and switched her spell.

But the barrier chanting seems to take a while.

「Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are they all coming out at once!? Uhii!」

In the meantime, Marilyn, who was in the back, was attacked by the monster.

Marilyn managed to resist with a punch, and stepped back.

As expected, these guys don't seem to be tasty enough for Marilyn.

Ugh, is this a barrier? No, just preventing them is only stopping them, so it's better to take them out one by one. ......Oh, then is overall magic better? No, but how about the damage, Ugyahh!?」

While Nicole, who was on the far left, was wondering which spell to use, he was stung and attacked by one of the tentacles that came out from the side.

His HP was reduced by 20%, so it wasn't a fatal wound, but there were a lot of other enemies, so he was in a bit of trouble.

I guess I'll have to go back and wipe out all the enemies, but will I make it in time?

On the right side, Nene is putting up a barrier to hold back the enemies, but it's not a dome-shaped barrier, but a shield-shaped barrier, so if a second enemy comes around from the side, we're out.

It won't last long either.

In this situation, it's impossible to help both of them at once, and there's still another enemy in the center of the rear.

「Leave the back to me, please! Gguhh, What the hell is this, ――Are you in love right now, gwaah!」

The other rearguard seems to be okay because the bulletproof (Cherry) is doing its job well.

Because only the attackers were ahead, the party spread out and got separated. That's a point for reflection.

「――I seek you in the old pact. Efreet, demon of rage, with your sharp fire!――kkuhh!」

Lumina was about to cast a spell halfway through, but when she was almost surrounded by enemies, she prioritized evasion.

If she's good enough, I'd like to see her go for a forceful push, but her HP is about the same as anyone else's, so I guess it can't be helped.

「Kaede, please follow up on Marilyn.」

I say to the only one of the temporary members in the rear guard who isn't in a hurry.

「I can't help it. ...... I'm just here to observe.Haah~,  I shouldn't have come. what am I doing. geez.... Burn! My wings, born of chaos, my body, in the name of Kaede, I command you, Flame Burst!」

Kaede's entire body was engulfed in blue flames as she chanted the spell.

However, Kaede seems to be unaffected by the flames, as she keeps a cool face.

With a large leap (jump), Kaede stood in front of Marilyn in an instant, and with a wave of her right hand, she sliced the caterpillar in half that was attacking her with just that.

Oi oi, you're even better than I thought you were.

You're stronger than me, aren't you?

And you're a fighter?

「What? They're weak. I guess I didn't need use flame option for this.」

「Wow, Kaede, thank you for saving me―Gyaannn! It's hothothothot!」

「Oh, you idiot, don't hug me now. You should know by looking at me.」

There's smoke billowing out of Marilyn, but it doesn't seem to be serious damage because she puffed up.

「Geez, I don't get it! You should have told me. I thought you'd just kill the enemy with fire!」

「It's not that convenient. This flame is a bit dangerous... Yeah, let's go without it.」

After putting out the flames, Kaede went to cover Nene this time.

I'm going to go to cover Lumina.

「【Zantetsuken!】」

I wanted to make sure that the enemy that was about to attack Lumina was defeated, so I used a powerful skill first.

But I can't fire many shots of such an exhaustive technique, and from the way I hit them with ice javelin earlier, even using sword would be tough.

There are some good spells ......, No, it doesn't have to be any spell.

I can use a skill.

A candidate for the list is ......

【G-Spot Analyzer.】

Hou~, the G-spot, huh?.

It's a magical spot where a woman can instantly climax (heaven) when the point is stimulated.

I've heard that there is no such thing, but if there is one, I want to find it.

But if I'm going to use it on a woman, will it work on this single-celled monster of unknown gender?

Well, let's give it a try.

【G-Spot Analyzer Lv3】 New!

This is a skill that requires a lot of points to acquire, over a thousand points in total, so I'm going to keep it at level 3.

It's for erotic purposes, no matter how you look at it.

If this is useless in battle, I'll feel a bit lost.

I'll be sure to use it on Serina and the others later to analyze their weaknesses.

「Pirots!」

「Pirots, pirots, shut the fuck up!! 【G-spot analyzer!】」

I ducked the tentacles it sent at me and tried to use my skills.

「Hey, Alec, what are you doing in the middle of a battle――」

Serina looked at me blushing.

「It's an idiot. There's an idiot here.」

Kaede said in disgust.

But this is a skill, you know. Don't get me wrong.

「G-spot? What's that and is it good?」

Marilyn didn't seem to know.

「Yeah, it is good. You'll get a taste of that later, Marilyn. But for now, these are the guys.」

I see it.

The top of a white caterpillar's head. An orange crosshair sight flashed there.

「Ataaaaack!」

I let out a high-pitched scream and poked at it with my index and ring fingers.

Then――

The trembling caterpillar instantly stopped moving.

It seems to be working.

The result doesn't seem to make them become smoke by itself, but if it can stop the opponent's movement, it's useful enough in this situation.

「A-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!」

I also use [Instantaneous Movement] and poke the head of the caterpillar with my finger from one side to the other.

「What's going on?」

「Did it stop moving?」

「Oh, I see, it's like this! Howattaaa!」

Marilyn, who seemed to have gotten the hang of it, imitated me and stopped the caterpillars.

Monster's who don't attack are free targets.

「This is it! A great opportunity for me! ――I will redeem. I seek it in a pact not of master and servant. Efreet, god of rage, destroy your foes with your sharp fire!　Flamespeaaaar!!!」

Letty uses her multi-warhead missile magic to take out every single one of them.

「I see. ......,Then I'll do it too...... ―― I will redeem. I seek it in a pact not of master and servant. Efreet, god of rage, destroy your foes with your sharp fire! Flamespeaaaar!!!」

Lumina also chanted.

「The four great spirits borrow their claws in the name of Salamander, with the offerings of my mana! Fireball!」

「Fireball! Fireball! Fireball!」

「―Are you in love right now? I'm in love. I give you my hot, burning love! Flame bouquet!」

The others are chanting.

It's hunting time.

And――

「Clear! The [Enemy Counter] is down to zero!」

Serina declared.

Sterilization finished (It's over).
