Chapter 18: (2)

. Its useless. I am a spirit. Spirits are like the embodiment of magic. The reason we could continue to exist was because there was a core in our bodies which generated magical energy. However, that single lance strike just a moment ago had destroyed my core. So once the magical energy in this body runs out, I will disappear.

The woman showed a resigned smile as she explained her own situation to Tanaka.

Youre a spirit, you say? No, thats not important right now. If you dont have enough magical energy, how about this then. Mana transfer!

Tanakas magical energy flowed into the woman. Then the hole in the womans chest began to gradually close up.

Oh, its closing up-degozaru!

Before he noticed it, Suke-san had already caught up to him, and was surprised to see the wound being restored. But just when they thought it was closing up, the hole began to gradually widen up again.

Guh! Not good enough, huh?!

Tanaka was frustrated by his own lack of power. However, the woman stared at Tanaka in surprise.

This magical energy. Just who in the world are you?

Im just a passing, powerless magician.

He replied with a cool air, but lacked his usual vigor. The woman stared at such a Tanaka with a serious expression on her face.

I have a favor to ask you. Id like to ask you to look after the spirits Ive employed. If its you, Im sure you will be able to do it.

She stated her wishes quickly and briefly. She herself must have sensed that she was running out of time.

Employing a spirit you say?

Those fascinating words, which suddenly came out of the air, made Tanaka forget about the ensuing situation in an instant. At the moment, numerous things swelled up inside of Tanaka.

The knowledge of the spirit that has lived for a long time will surely be useful to you. In return, Id like to ask you to use your power to protect this child.

The two stared at each other with serious expressions. Eventually, Tanaka resolved himself.

Very well, come! Go ahead! Bring it on!

Tanakas excitement was at an all-time high. The beautiful woman, who was a spirit, who disappeared just a moment ago. The child who was entrusted by her. He could already see kyakya ufufu future ahead of him.

The light that had been floating in the air suddenly stopped moving, and increased in brilliance all of a sudden. Then an explosion-like boom occurred.

Snippy snappy here Ive come!

The one appeared there was a lump of bursting muscles that stood ready in a side chest pose.

After a moment of silence, Tanaka collapsed on his knees. He then dropped both of his hands on the ground, and let out a scream.

Fu, fuoooooooooo!!

That was the cry of his soul. Sweat was also dripping down from his eyes.

Just why o world, why do you have to bestow me with another suffering today. Why is the spirit, who was employed by such a beautiful woman, an old man?! Why the moustache! Why the crew cut! Why the muscles?!!!!

Tanaka howled to the heavens. The spirit care freely showed off various poses in front of him. Suke-san stared at those poses with great interest.

Damn them I wont forgive them I definitely wont forgive them! Its their fault that army of beauties was the culprit behind it all! Lets go, Suke-san! Kaku-san! Those women! Ill definitely teach them a lesson!

Tanaka couldnt contain his welling up libido, and intended to vent it out on the beautiful woman from earlier.

Hmm? By Kaku-san, you mean me?

The muscle spirit, who had been absorbed in posing, came to himself.

That seems to be the case-degozaru. More importantly, Tanaka-dono, dont you think we have to head to town first-degozaru?

Suke-san alone calmly assessed the situation. At his words, Tanaka halted on his feet.

Guh! Just you wait! Next time I see you, Ill definitely strip you off!

Tanaka, who couldnt hold his frustration, howled again to the sky where the army of beauties had disappeared into just a while ago. As though getting excited by Tanakas howl, Kaku-san began posing again. Suke-san decided to wait for Tanaka to calm down in leisure for the time being.
