Having grown tired of a series of suits, Marie desired something salty as a palate cleanser.
She arrived above the Kingdom of Gēta・Nyīga through the Teleportation Gate.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie was perched on her broom, looking down below.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Now, Kaito. Do you sense any magical creatures nearby? Preferably ones with delicious meat.”
“Understood! This is to help people, right?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Not at all.
However, Kaito, a devout follower of Marie, seemed to interpret her actions in this way.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“You’ve come to aid Princess Riara and the others who have returned to the mortal world first. . . . . . that’s what’s happening, right?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Not even close.
She just wanted to eat something salty.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Only Ose, perched on Kaito’s head, noticed the disparity between the two’s understanding.
He sighed in exasperation.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Hey, kid. Find a magical creature quickly, defeat it, and let’s go back.』
“Yes! Let’s do this. . . . . . Mmmmmmm.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kaito, filled with spirit, twitched his ears.
The hearing of a beastman is superior to that of a human.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Additionally, Kaito possesses the power of the divine beast Fenrir.
He owns a unique sense, one might even say an ultra-sensitive hearing, that surpasses even other beastmen.
ㅤ
ㅤ
With such a sense, tracking down any magical creatures in this area would be trivial. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Found one! It’s an orc!”
“An orc. . . . . . Hmm. Give me something better.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
What do you mean “something better”? Ose was incredulous. This isn’t an auction.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Ah! There’s an Orc General. . . . . . and an Orc King too!”
“Hmm. . . . . . Say, Kaito. Is the meat of higher-ranked orcs tastier?”
“Absolutely!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie grinned maliciously.
The plan was set.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What are you planning?』
“I’ll take all the orcs.”
『Really now. . . . . . Hey, Witch-sama, doesn’t it look like the orcs are fighting someone?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie moved using her broom.
Below, a large group of orcs was fighting armed humans.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Oh. . . . . . must be knights sent to slay the monsters. What will you do?』
“That’s obvious.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie took out her Elderberry Divine Wand and readied herself.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“That is. . . . . . my special treasure. I won’t let them snatch it away!”
『Well, you’re the one planning to snatch it. . . . . . And don’t attack the knights, you understand?!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Wand in hand, Marie swirled in mid-air.
A gigantic Magic Circle appeared, covering all the fighting knights and magical creatures below.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Hey, hey, hey! You’re not really going to do this, are you? You’re not planning to kill them, right?』
“It’s hunting time. Kaito, Ose, cover your ears.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
In a hurry, Kaito clamped his beastly ears and curled up.
Ose also took measures to protect himself.
ㅤ
ㅤ
With preparations complete, Marie unleashed the power of her magic.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Magic Art, wide-area deployment. . . . . . Heaven-Splitting Thunderbolt Blade. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
ZZZGGGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .An incredible bolt of lightning rained down toward the Earth.
Due to the booming sound, Kaito and the others temporarily lost their hearing.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Eventually, the white smoke cleared, and Kaito and the others regained their hearing.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『You fool. . . . . .! Was that a Grand Magic just now?!』
ㅤ
Grand Magic. A pinnacle of magical arts that high-level magicians acquire after years of rigorous training.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What are you going to do after killing everyone?!』
“Who’s the fool? Look over there.”
『Huh? Wha—. . . . . .I can’t believe it. . . . . .everyone’s safe?!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The magical creatures in front of them were indeed paralyzed, but they were alive.
Eyes rolled back, they were unconscious.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The knights, on the other hand, weren’t even unconscious.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『How can they be unharmed after taking such a powerful magical attack? What’s going on. . . . . .?』
“I deployed both Grand Magic and a barrier spell at the same time.”
『W, What?! Simultaneous deployment. . . . . .wait, is that even possible. . . . . . with that staff. . . . . .?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Elderberry Divine Wand.
The greatest magic wand in the world.
ㅤ
ㅤ
With this wand, it’s possible to cast an incredibly powerful Grand Magic while also erecting a barrier to negate it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I activated the Grand Magic, and the pre-installed barrier from the wand deployed. Simple, right?”
『Well, when you say it’s simple, it never really is. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie didn’t mention it, but the barrier also enveloped Kaito and the others.
Despite her grumblings, Marie actually likes Kaito and his companions.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『To think you can hold back on using Grand Magic, that’s a feat. Adjusting its power is generally considered impossible.』
“Since when does common sense apply to me?”
『You do have a point when you say it. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie gathers the fainted orcs using Storage Magic.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Why didn’t you kill the orcs?』
“There’s the matter of draining the blood, right? Even I can learn.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
If you don’t drain the blood, the meat of the beasts smells too foul to eat.
That’s something Kaito taught her a long time ago.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie proudly displays her newfound knowledge.
Ose lets out a heavy sigh.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Oh, by the way, the kid’s been silent this whole time. What’s up, kid?』
“. . . . . .”
『Ah, he’s fainted. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie looks at Kaito with concern.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I did hold back, but. . . . . . is he okay?”
『Ah, don’t worry. Seems like he was so overwhelmed by your actions that he fainted from the sheer awe.』
“. . . . . .That’s misleading.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie sighs in relief.
Seeing this, Ose grins.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Worrying about your comrades, eh? What happened to being selfish?』
“. . . . . .You’re cruel.”
『Hehe, I am a demon, after all!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
With all that said and done, Marie, having gotten the meat she was after, opens a Teleportation Gate to return to Horai Mountain.
. . . . . .So it would seem.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Unbeknownst to her, the knights below were shedding tears and thanking Marie.
