Its movements aren’t fast . Given that, it can’t do something like land an attack on me . Its hand is an unknown variable so, negligence is strictly prohibited though . I hear screams coming from the village’s direction if I listen attentively . There’s also the smell of smoke, there must really be a fire spreading . The cause isn’t this guy? That means this isn’t the time to be held up here doesn’t it .
「Silvi-chan, please use ice magic to extinguish that . 」
I want her to bring down a gentle snow, like when Till saved the town long ago . It seemed she hesitated with the enemy right before her eyes but, she spun and turned her heel . She’s a clever child .
「――O-ka-sama, fortune be with you . 」
I give her a nod with a smile and, my daughter quickly set off toward the village .
「Support?」 「Aid?」
Miorena came up to my side while rolling their shoulders . It seems they’re ready to go all out in place of Silvi-chan . I appreciate the sentiment but, from what I can see, that would be difficult .
「No, please rest . Since we’ll do something . Right, Ilya?」 「Yes, my, lady . 」
Ilya readied her shield and went out in front .
「Hold out to your utmost . 」 「Cry and lament to your utmost . 」
U～n, one of them really is a child of that personality . ――Otto . The black armour that had completely righted its posture as we were having a drawn out conversation, readied itself with one hand thrust out . Magic?
「Ojousama, behind me . 」 「Eei, the two of you as well, go ahead . 」
The twins obediently hid behind Ilya’s back . The black armour seems like it’s up to something but, I have the utmost faith in Ilya . Looking at it, something like an angel’s halo appeared from the black armour’s right hand . Some sort of light is gathering in its center .
「Are you going to take that?」 「Why of course . 」
As expected of my most loyal retainer, there’s no reply but yes .
「I wouldn’t think this could overcome me and cause ojousama harm . ――Ancient Field!」
She deployed her defensive membrane that approaches perfection clad in magic power . ……Now then, are the opponent’s preparations done now?
「――Tsu!!」
A beam of light rushed out . Ilya’s Ancient Field (Enhanced Version) disperses the blocked attack as the land burns . This attack……can I assume the fire really is because of this guy? Looking at Ilya’s complexion, I conjecture that there was quite a lot of force in that which was blocked . It’s movements are dull but if it’s that attack then I suppose bringing down its target should be easy .
「Scary」 「Terrifying」
Miorena shuddered from the attack . They do need protection don’t they .
「Ilya, I leave it to you . 」 「Acknowledged, however, to be absolutely sure I would like to borrow ojousama’s magic power . 」 「10 percent okay . 」
I send her lightning magic power . The pass is connected because of the dragon contract so, transferring to Ilya is simple .
「Lightning armatization, silver kamui .
Ilya clad herself in my magic power as if as armour . Well, speaking of armour, I feel that the crackling silver lightning envelops Ilya in that sort of manner . Of course, the amplitude of the effect isn’t like it’s just for show . Looking at my status, Ilya’s ability points are supplemented as such .
My buff in addition to the power, endurance and defense she developed by changing jobs . There’s no weakness in the current Ilya . She’s a tank who can be depended upon to protect everyone . There’s nothing to worry about with that, after this it’s time for me to advance .
「Watto!!」
A ray of light came flying in just as I was about to step in . Avoiding it was barely possible even with my reflexes and speed . My bones will break if that gets close won’t they .
「Lightning!」
For mid ranked magic, my attack isn’t light you know . At this point, my feints are sufficient to blow away a mountain . Perhaps a mountain is going too far, around a hill perhaps? But the moment my attack struck the black armour, it easily changed course and disappeared into the sky .
「Muu?」
The characteristics of its defense changed from before? Indiscriminate rays come as if it’s its turn as I evade while thinking . I’m reassured that Ilya is stopping the entire portion that comes toward the twins . Just, at this rate nothing will be resolved . Should I try close combat once again? I close the distance while jumping about in every direction .
「――tsu .
Perhaps it has good intuition, even after moving this much it’s firing at me with a fair amount of accuracy . This guy…… what skill . It’s forcing me to just barely evade it so, there’s frankly no opening for me to step in with . I fleetingly try and confirm the surroundings and, the rays of light are burning the forest here and there .
Miorena’s complexions are poor . Well, I suppose anyone would be out of sorts if they were worried their homes could be burning . This isn’t something I can draw out for too long .
「Fuu……」
While you could say I’ve grown used to combat, as expected, the moment on which the battle is wagered makes me nervous doesn’t it . Deep breath…… Suー Haー……
――Now!
I run at my full speed . I put in enough spirit to surpass sound . Even so, the black armour reacted . Obediently trusting the signal of danger, I change my course at a right angle, using a large tree as a foothold to jump off of once more . As always it accurately follows after me . I throw off its aim with sudden deceleration, and then suddenly accelerate . In this case the previous exchange was done at a wild speed though . I stopped with the roundabout paths, coming in on a straight line . Its attack comes as if me coming in on a straight line makes me a target . That light ray――with a twisting movement, I evade as closely as possible . ――Even so, it fired off 2 more shots with unparalleled accuracy without permitting even that slight evasion .
――Thiss guy!
Can I not evade it at this point? Nay――
「Still not enough――!」
I warped through space . I shift my magic power completely outside of its awareness .
Deciding my placement, I appear right behind the black armour .
「――Here I come, you should prepare yourself . 」
I purposefully announce myself to the black armour that had completely lost sight of me after its strike failed to meet resistance . I pushed my hand up against its stomach as it frantically turned toward me――in that moment, the opponent’s hand languidly fell .
「――――――――――」
I distance myself as if I’d been blasted away .
「Ojousama!?」
Ilya turned a worried look wondering what it meant that I had avoided a golden opportunity . I was watching the black armour in a daze . As the black armour’s animosity had vanished, it faced off with me for a time and then vanished, seemingly swallowed away into a black gate that appeared at its feet .
「……」
Ilya and Miorena quickly came over .
「Defeated?」 「Escaped?」 「Nn～」 「Are you uninjured? Ojousama, is anywhere unwell?」 「Un, that’s alright . 」
I try appealing to her with healthy behavior and, the worrywart Ilya let out a relieved sigh . And then tilting her head, she smiled as if resetting her mood .
「If ojousama judged this to be fine, that is everything . In that case let us see about extinguishing the fire . 」 「Fufu, thanks, Ilya . 」 「This side is unsettled . 」 「This side is dissatisfied . 」
Mixed reviews is the world’s norm . Just as I thought, now then how to put out the fire, a faint pink coloured snow came falling down . I try grasping that cool and beautiful crystal .
「Silvis-sama, has wonderful skill in magic doesn’t she . 」 「That’s so isn’t it～, I’m really surprised .
Snow piles up as we watch, and so the fire is put out in a few short moments .
She’s a daughter who makes fans in such a far flung village . Fumu, but if it’s at this scale…… I count up Silvi-chan’s quantity of magic power and scale of magic ahead of her time .
「Miorena――I mean, Mio-san, Rena-san .
Miorena-san furrowed their brows at my set name but, for the nonce they took a listening posture as if in gratitude for this occasion . Ho……
「I’d like to stay here for a while and rest my body so, I’ll be burdening you for a time . 」
◇■◇■◇
As suggested, having pushed herself to her limit, Silvi-chan ended up fast asleep . While saying it’s fine, I wonder how many degrees is the temperature of my daughter who’s making a pure red face? Her slightly feeble side resembles me doesn’t it . Her side that thoroughly finished extinguishing the fire is as expected of her though .
「The world’s crisis and my daughter’s crisis . Scales couldn’t measure that . Let’s have her take a break here . 」
Silvi-chan alone came to give a protest but it was rejected . Everyone else gave their approval . To begin with we haven’t had a proper rest since coming to the town of Rinal . On paths that aren’t paths, we came here by breaking through the deep forest . Our recuperation here is necessary . And I assume that being in our best form when dealing with god is important . Having decided that, I’ll do a motherly act for my daughter!
「I want to make dinner for her but, is it fine if I borrow the kitchen?」 「Dinner? Cooking?」 「Magic power provisioning?」
Isn’t this strange, even though I asked for something completely normal, they gave me a weird look .
「Living alone deep within such a forest, is magic power really the main source of nutrition then……」 「We hunt on occasion . 」 「We gather wild plants on occasion . 」
This is why elves are…… From the look of things there don’t seem to be any ingredients then . Is this sort of thing prepared on your own?
「I am well versed in edible grasses and herbs, Alice-san . 「Sitra! Thanks, would you come with me to gather from the forest?」 「That is of course . 」
It seems there is a minimal amount of seasonings so, we can make something of this if we can at least obtain something edible . And if I think about the things ahead of us, I don’t want to make use of the provisions we prepared do I .
「Then Alice-dono, I shall go hunt . 」 「Ah, Maria-san, I’ll go along with you . Since having meat will better bring out a good mood won’t it . 」
As such, we acquire ingredients in a primitive manner . ……Even though it’s a populated village, what we’re doing is no different from when we were advancing through the great forest . Well, it’s fine, mother will do her best you see!
