Chapter 89: Pandemonium?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

My familiars and I are doing 3 vs 3 mock battles. In the fight against Ruu, Rin and Nichrome, we succeeded in giving a whooping to Rin. If we can't neutralize Nichrome before Rin recovers, Shadow-san and I won't have a chance to win. How shall we attack… after all, it will hurt if I can't prevent the bullets. Shadow-san concentrates on the defense, so she can't lend me a hand. Even if I try to prevent it with my talismans, the bullets still can penetrate through. I guess that I can strengthen them more, but this time my magic power is almost empty. Shadow-san is also defending firmly so she can't spare any of her magic power.... What should we do?

“Master, you can't win just by defending." Nichrome

“In that case, stop your bullet assault!" Tsuchio

“I can't do that. For the time being, I have decided to devote myself to defense and that it is best to wait for Rin to return. I will continue shooting until then." Nichrome

“Shit, what shall I do. Even if I use the rock snakes as a shield, it will be scraped away immediately… therefore, there is no choice but to raise a wall that is hard to penetrate." Tsuchio

I throw a pentagram talisman on the ground and generate an iron wall. It is the limit that I can use, but there is no sign of breakage even if Nichrome´s bullets hit. It won't withstand a long time, but this can earn me a little bit of time. Let's just be careful not to get suppressed.

“A metal wall? Let's break it down immediately." Nichrome

I feel vibration intermittently from my back. Uwah, it's getting steady. If I dont think quickly, it will be a honeycomb in no time.

"Hey Shadow-san, do you have a good idea? I have only one, but there is no guy who can do it… well, it's not so easy to think about. My plan is too risky… if I fail, it'll become a two to two again. I have confidence, I'm ready to go down. Okay, let's do it. Well, first, let's check the state of Rin.” Tsuchio

Let's look down a little from the wall and look at Rin. Oh, she is just standing up. It seems there is damage, but she can continue fighting. Alright, I am heading towards her. Now is my opportunity!

“Shadow-san, can you hide your magical powers? Alright, we will lurk in the shadow while hunting our prey. Please hide as it is and I will attract the attention of those two in the meantime." Tsuchio

That said, I jumped out from behind the metal wall. I fly sideways at a dash and run towards Nichrome. Nichrome aims at me immediately, but I throw a talisman before she started her shooting. It exploded between me and Nichrome and black smoke scattered around the area.

“Blinding me with a smokescreen? I have a magical sensor and know where you are." Nichrome

“Wait, Nichrome! This smoke makes your sense go crazy! Tsuchio is hidden in this smoke!” Rin

“This smokescreen has such an effect...inspect sensors, detect anomalies and respond.” Nichrome

Listening to Rin's words, Nichrome checks her sensor at high speed while holding her gun. Many letters and sequences flow to the visor and the sensor inspection is over in a few seconds.

“He is hiding somewhere inside and his magical power is decoyed with a talisman. He used the same trick to me!" Rin

“Examination ends, no abnormality is found." Nichrome

“No, that can't be right. ‘Cause I was tricked by such a smokescreen before! Overlooked..." Rin

When Rin turned around, there was Nichrome who had been hit by black blades at her scruff. And Shadow-san, who dived into the shadows so as not to be noticed, appears from Rin´s shadow.

“Huu, somehow it worked. I barely managed it. Rin, good job, you saved me." Tsuchio

“Naa, Tsuchio, why are you here!? There is no decoy talisman..." Rin

Rin is surprised because I'm usually in the place where the decoy talisman was a while ago. I wanted her to be aware of it soon, but she is too honest.

“Actually, the smoke screen was a normal one. It's not something that confuses your senses." Tsuchio

“I was deceived again? But I didn't feel Shadow-san’s magic power." Rin

“Shadow-san can hide her magical power on her own. It is a skill that lurks inside her. When Nichrome used her sensor, she got found out, but Rin responded well. Because you thought that I want to confuse your senses again." Tsuchio

“Is it only magic?" Rin

“Yeah, only magical power. Well, it may be good to devise a technique to mislead temperature and smell, too. If it's all together, it's possible to be able to kill most senses..." Tsuchio

“Then, I’m dropping out. You have given me power, but this is as close as losing my neck here”

“That's right, please watch a little away. Okay, I just beat Rin." Tsuchio

“...Ah, no! I haven't done anything good since a while ago! I was used as a toy by Tsuchio and bombed by Shadow-san.... Before this happens, I'm going to defeat the two of you!” Rin

“2 vs 1 is tough, but we have a large advantage in numbers. There is no longer a tying back, I will beat you." Tsuchio

I use magical power, but if I use the worst talisman, I can break through the barrier. Ruu will defeat Lime, while we'll defeat Rin!

As a result of the subsequent battle, the magic of shadow-san and mine reached the limit there though Rin was managed by using the double mark. Ruuu and Lime also drew, so we settled down in the form of a draw. I thought I could do more than once, but... rock snakes, wasps, and fire bees were quite exhausting. Shadow-san seems to have consumed considerably when Nichrome and Rin was put. In addition to that, fighting with Rin, I'm exhausted indeed.

“Wow, that's a mock battle.... We're unable to follow up."

“The difference is demonstrated in this case."

“During the holidays, we were fighting roughly. If you don't do that much, you can't go that far."

“Well, I don't have experience in dating. Everyone is younger than me, so it doesn't matter if you don't rush that far. Even after graduating from the academy, I think that it isn't too late at all."

"Well then, why is Tsuchio trying so hard?"

“I am older than everyone else and I have a little purpose. No matter what you do, it will never be too early. Life is really fast."

I realized that it has been three years since I came to this world and every day is so dense.

“It is said that you do seem old, Tsuchio-dono."

“That’s harsh." Tsuchio

“So, will you do another mock battle after this? I told you I would like to partner with you."

“Well, everyone is quite tired. I also have no magical power left, so I guess it is difficult to do another mock battle. Let's end it here for today." Tsuchio

“Huu, it was a good exercise. It is a bit disappointing that I couldn't defeat Lime." Ruu

“I wanted to lead father to victory, but… because of my lack of power, I couldn't defeat elder sister. Do you want to have a laxative for breakfast next time we do a mock battle?" Lime

“Hey, you can't do that. It's a mock battle and we have to do the same as if it's an actual battle." Ruu

Well, there may be times when you fight from poisoning in advance. For such a special case, it will be another occasion again.

“...Haa” Rin

“What's wrong, Rin? Why are you sighing?" Tsuchio

“I want to sigh. I evolved and became a human, but I lost to Tsuchio and Shadow-san. It is too embarrassing to lose to someone who only defends. So how shall I protect Tsuchio?" Rin

“Well, it was 3 vs 3. Rin and Nichrome are still not able to fight together. And we're able to stand on the same ground as you with some tricks. The trick which I showed once wouldn’t work again. If we fight again, we'll lose to Rin.” Tsuchio

“...Really?” Rin

“It's really true. Rin isn't stupid enough to fall to the same trick over and over again.” Tsuchio

“Of course! You should be prepared for the next mock battle, because you will lose!” Rin

“I am looking forward to it." Tsuchio

Yes, Rin has to be like this. This Rin is nice too, but the usual Rin is the best. When we do another mock battle, how do I fight...if I don't think about it, I´m going to lose easily. It will be a little shameful if I can't fight properly.

“After we eat lunch, I will refill my talismans. Therefore everyone can do what they want.” Tsuchio

I used them quite a bit this time, so at least I have to write down what I used. I won’t feel motivated if I do it tomorrow, therefore I have to finish it within today.

『So, the adventurers who came to the forest yesterday were rough. They peeled off the trees and climbed up to the top. Because I'm going to leave my leaves, they came to my head.... I summoned a lot of demon animals!』Spirit-san

『The adventurers, are they okay? Or are they dead?』Tsuchio

『I think they are fine. They are very strong because they came to the center. Well, it doesn't matter if they live or die. If they don't do bad things, I'm not going to do anything.』Spirit-san

『Well, please do as much as you like. As long as they haven't found out that you exist, right Spirit-san? If you get caught, I don't know what I'm going to do.』Tsuchio

『I know, I don't intend to show myself.』Spirit-san

On that night, I spoke with Spirit-san at the time Lucas wasn't here. It seems that the exploration beyond is still going on and it seems that the surroundings of the gigantic tree is becoming a resting place for adventurers. Well, it seems to be difficult to meet Spirit-san.

『You're coming over here in the summer, right? I want to see the two who I gave my protection.』Spirit-san

『Well, I also have some souvenirs for you. This summer vacation to Danze Island… excuse me. Please wait for a little.』Tsuchio

While talking with Spirit-san, Shadow-san gave me Yukurishisu´s magic tool. Has a call come from there? It's not good to talk with two people at the same time. Wo-san told me to help with Yukurishisu´s complaints. Anyway, let's talk a little.

『Hello, Yukurishisu?』Tsuchio

『It's been a while, Tsuchio. How are you doing?』Yukurishisu

『Good. I got hurt a little, but...』Tsuchio

『Hurt!? Are you alright!?』Yukurishisu

It shouted in my ear, so that I moved instinctively away. It seems to have been a pretty loud voice, and it seems to have been heard from Spirit-san´s branch on the bed.

『Emm! Tsuchio, what are you doing? I heard a woman's voice and it doesn't belong to Ruu or the others!』Spirit-san

『So, Sorry. A call came from another person.... Please wait a little longer.』Tsuchio

For now, I have already talked quite a bit with Spirit-san and after listening to Yukurishisu´s business, I will cut the communication with Spirit-san.

『Ah, I'm sorry. So the injury...』Yukurishisu

『It's okay, I treated it perfectly and cured it without aftereffects. So what are today's complaints?』Tsuchio

『I'm not complaining. No, I have some complaints, but that's not the topic. Tsuchio, won't you come to the empire this summer? I managed to get some free time, so I'll show you around.』Yukurishisu

『Eh, this summer?』Tsuchio

I was about to say that I'm going to Spirit-san now.... What shall I do, I want to go to the empire.

『What's the matter? There is vacation in the summer, right? Or have you decided on a schedule already?』Yukurishisu

『No, I haven't made a decision yet, but I was just talking about it right now...』Tsuchio

Well, I guess I'll ask Spirit-san. If she is okay with it, I will go to the empire. Yukurishisu won't be able to take much time off.

『...Hey, don't ignore me. What is it, I've been ignored for a while now.』Spirit-san

『Ah, I'm sorry. The schedule for this summer was requested by an acquaintance.』Tsuchio

『Summer!? Where did you get invited!?』Spirit-san

『I will go to a country a little far away. The person who invited me is a very busy person and it is bad for Spirit-san, but it seems that I'm going there.』Tsuchio

『I invited you first...』Spirit-san

『Sorry, Spirit-san! I will definitely come to you for the rest of my life!』Tsuchio

『...Hey, stick that magic tool next to the branch. I'll talk to that person directly.』Spirit-san

Eh, that means...Spirit-san and Yukurishisu will speak directly with each other....It's a miraculous combination, a spirit and a empress. Or rather, a little scary.

『That...please don't be rude.』Tsuchio

『I know, I'll just give her a little lesson.』Spirit-san

『Please stop! Because Spirit-san´s moxibustion isn't a joke for the moment!』Tsuchio

They are separated by the sea, so it'll be okay. Or not?

『Emm, Yukurishisu. There is someone who I talked with before you called and wants to talk a bit with Yukurishisu.... I was talking with that person.』Tsuchio

『I see...good, please connect us.』Yukurishisu

Alright...or perhaps, will this cause a pandemonium to this world!?
