“The beginning of a new legend, isn’t it~? It’s a shame we’re the only ones witnessing this… but it’s not quite impressive enough to make me think, ‘I must somehow pass this down to future generations’.”
Our triple Great Magic Spiral pierced through everything of Mikado’s.
We felt the impact.
“How about that! No matter what legends you’ve built—”
“We will pierce through it all! Nothing can separate us anymore, and――”
“No one in this world can stop us!”
Yes, no one can separate us or stop us.
We raised our right hands to the heavens and shouted.
“I kind of envy them… those three…….”
“Fufufu, it would be tasteless to intrude on those three’s bond, Shinobu…… they have finally become one after transcending time… fufu… I wonder…… At first, I felt unease about General Hakuki…… no, Hakuki’s very existence, but… seeing those three now, they radiate such invincibility that even Hakuki doesn’t seem frightening.”The intense light, deafening explosion, and dust cloud finally began to clear.
I could sense Mikado’s presence.
But, there was no sign of a counterattack.
On the contrary…
“Hyuu… fyyu… fuu…….”
Completely different from his rejuvenated form moments ago, Mikado—now back to his original… no, perhaps even more decrepit than before—was kneeling on both knees, weakly looking this way.
And……
“This one…… may have experienced something incredible…… thanks to that, my body and mind are utterly exhausted… yet my head feels clear now……”
“Huh?!”
Mikado looked at me and smiled slightly.
“Uncle, did the brainwashing wear off?”
“Espie…… oh my, how many years has it been… Brainwashing… I see, so I was… no, but… Hmm~m.”
Granpa Mikado held his head and closed his eyes, as if he was still trying to process everything.
But it seemed that the brainwashing had really been broken.
“This situation…… the Ogres…… Koujiro …… Benlinerve…… Shinobu …… a Dark elf? Kesu-san, Ashisotu-san…… and… if memory serves, the Hunter named Slayer… also……”
Granpa Mikado was looking around and assessing the situation, and eventually turned to me.
“Even you…… Earth Lagann-kun……”
This was the first time I’d met Granpa Mikado since Cantidan, where I met Bro.
That was a few months ago……
“Heheh. Hey, elder. Has your senility cleared up a bit?”
“…… You…… saved me?”
“Not me.”
“?”
“It was us!!”
With that, I put my hand on Espie and Slayer’s shoulders.
Then, Espie and Slayer put their arms around me with smug looks on their faces and nodded.
“…… Huh?”
There was no way Granpa Mikado could understand the relationship between the three of us just from this current situation.
Still, Granpa Mikado nodded as if he had somehow accepted it.
“I see…… hehe… but it’s only been a few months……”
“Hmm?”
“Compared to when we met in that town a few months ago… you’ve changed beyond recognition, Earth-kun… it’s like you’re on a completely different level.”
“…… ah. Right?”
Yes, it was only a few months, but from my perspective, they were extremely intense few months.
I’ve met the Six Supremacy, faced the Dragon King of Hades, fought in the Heavenly World, and traveled to the past…… When told I’d grown, I could nod with confidence, proud that I’d fought hard.
“Even Espie has such a good expression now… honestly… What in the world……?”
“Hehehe, while you, that idiot Hiro, and the others were busy with your nonsense, we were doing stuff so incredible we could change the world~”
“Huh?”
Espie’s tone might sound exaggerated, but everything she said was actually true.
We really did change the world…
“【Giga Thunder】”
――――!??
In the midst of the excitement, a giga-class magic spell was casually unleashed.
Following the flash of light, a huge bolt of lightning rained down from the sky, threatening to annihilate everyone present.
But……
“【Gourai Giri(Raging Thunder Cutter)】!!”
He caught the thunderbolts raining down on us with a single sword and sliced them apart.
The cut lightning scattered into the sky, and the guy who accomplished such an outrageous feat……
“Ttaku…… can’t you even read the mood? You are embarrassing us in front of the young ones who will lead the next generation. Benlinerve “
Koujiro had a carefree, relaxed smile on his face.
“Whoa! That’s Koujiro for you!”
“Heh, not bad, Koujiro. But you haven’t finished it yet? Still got a ways to go. After all, compared to the duo of me and Big brother, you’re still not very reliable, Uncle~”
“Totally. After all, the combination of me and Brother is the strongest.”
The battle wasn’t over yet.
Uncle Ben remained in a brainwashed state.
Shinobu and Larou’iph were also dealing with Granpa Mikado’s aides.
Norja was also facing more than a hundred strengthened Ogres.
“…… Koujiro …… what is the meaning of this? Besides…… what of Lord Outei?”
“…… The details can wait. Right now, let’s finish this quickly so we don’t fall behind this Onii-san.”
“Ugh…… Hmm…… true. My apologies.”
“Oh, come now. How many centuries do you think you’ve been working for?”
For the time being, Koujiro tells Granpa Mikado, “let’s focus on this situation”.
And both Shinobu and Larou’iph agreed.
“Right. Watch me, Honey. And Honey’s little sister and brother! I’ll be counting on your review♪.”
“For the sake of Aonii, who fell here… I cannot afford to show any weakness either!”
We no longer felt like I could lose.
That atmosphere hung over us, and we had the confidence to back it up.
On the other hand, the Ogres were in a state of panic over Mikado being defeated.
“H, hey, those guys… they were up against the legendary Mikado….”
“N, no way… and they’re barely even hurt……”
At that moment, something unexpected happened, something no one present could have predicted, not even Paripi, who was somewhere watching this unfold with a smirk.
“Hmm? …… Oh……”
“…… Oh…… Ah…… Oh……”
Our eyes met.
“Ah…… y, you…… you’re …….”
Norja, who had been acting all sweet and clingy and going “Kon kon♥” up until now, suddenly started talking normally and was shocked when she saw me…… n, no way, d, did she, in this situation……
“Hey, Norja!?”
“N, no way……”
“General!?”
That Norja… don’t tell me she’s regained her senses… no, she’s not sane! She’s sane, but not sane!
Because, one moment she looked at me with tears welling up in her eyes like a cute girl, and the next instant, the corners of her mouth twisted into an extremely sharp smile, her eyes were abnormally distorted, and her whole body was enveloped in a sinister, murky aura……
“Gufu ♥, gufufufu ♥ GUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU♥♥♥”
Like a starved, drooling beast……
“IT’S MY HUBBYYYYYYYYYYY !!!”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!??”
She lunged at me with a completely crazed look on her face.
『O, oooh…… tis similar to right after the child ran away from the Empire…… Starving, he stumbled into the forest and found a rabbit… that childlike expression from back then…….』
Even Tre’ainar was taken aback by Norja’s terrifying form as she leaped toward me.
No, this was not the time to be talking about the past……
“Wh, what’s with her, making a fuss all of a sudden!”
“Enough! Ignore her! We are the proud Ogres—”
And so, dozens of Ogres, confused by the situation but determined to crush the raucous Norja, charged forward……
“GET LOST, YOU CREEPS!!!”
“””””GUKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!???”””””
Ah…… With a swing of the tail…… they were blown away.
“Hey… OGREEEEEEEEEESSS!!?? C, come on, guys, put up a bit more of a fight!!”
It was so violent that I couldn’t help but scream at the Ogres…… and then……
“Grrrrrrrrr, my husband, HUBBYYYY, oh, I’ve waited for over ten years, my hubby! It’s MATING TIME!! I’ll put a collar on you, shave you smooth, and make you all baby-like! I’m going to unleash every single perverse, depraved fantasy I’ve been holding back and dreaming up over these long years on you, my hubby!! OUT OF MY WAY! I made a promise… I held back until our reunion, and now I’M GOING ALL OUT!!!”
This is bad. Unlike the weakened mode where she lost her sanity from being toyed with by Hakuki… this is her going completely unhinged on her own, losing all reason, and that intense wave of her power as one of the Six Supremacy …… somehow, it has been revived.
