Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken Chapter 58

Mira was rapidly firing magical bullets from up high in the sky.

"Hmm, your power truly increased. From the time you took on Lucia and others your power has jumped by several hundred times. Without a doubt you've become stronger than the Calamity Dragon we fought."

I said it in admiration and prepared for the coming bullets.

Then as they were coming one after another I deflected them with my fists.

"Hii!? If they hit us, we'll die."

"Masatsugu-sama if possible send them on the opposite side please."

The girls will grumbling.

Well, I understand how they're feeling.

Because the deflected bullets when they impact the ground.

Dokan! Dokun!

The deflected bullets were making large holes 20 meters as if meteorites had fallen.

If they hit the orphanage girls, it will be inexcusable.

Naturally I understand that so I won't let them get hit by any means.

"That's some nice attacks. But, is it already over?"

All of the bullets fell and around me where I stood as the center was filled with craters and I asked her.

"N-No! Not over yet! Eat this Inferno Flame!"

Mira understanding cannot reach me with bullets she switched to great magic next.

Magical power was gathering in her hands, a hellfire would appear on the earth created by a primordial sun.

"At this rate the entire region will be scorched earth… Rather, the fairy village shouldn't be destroyed. Okay, Elin come here."

"Yes!"

At my beckoning Elin came with great haste.

"You will offset Mira's magic with your Cocytus."

"Eh!? My magic will get consumed instead when it meets hers though …"

"It's alright. Grasp my hand."

"Hahi!?"

Elin for some reason replied with a falsetto.

"What's wrong? You let out a weird voice…"

"Nothing is wrong!"

She said that and grabbed my hands nervously.

Well, should be fine.

I was deeply concerned and once again said it to her.

"Okay, chant the spell!"

"Since it's Masatsugu-sama saying it… Cocytus!"

She released the great magic in half-doubt.

At the same time Mira's Inferno Flame has completed.

Magical vortex of simmering flames was heading this way.

"Wha!?"

"It's a lie!"

Both Elin and Mira let out surprised voices.

I can't blame them. Because Elin's magic which shouldn't have rivaled Demon Emperor's Mira's magic has now rivaled it.

The moment both of our equally great magic clashed together they made the space-time distort and making a jarring sound to the ears.

"Impossible Masatsugu-sama…"

"That's right. I gave only a tiny bit of my power to Elin."

"To think this enormous magical power is just 'tiny bit', you're amazing."

When I said that Elin had an expression of amazement.

"Treating my Inferno Flame as if it's child's play…"

Mira was breathing heavily while slowly descending from the sky. It seems she has expended quite a bit of magical power.

"What's wrong. You still haven't hit me even with one attack."

"As it is right now, I cannot beat you still… In that case!"

Understanding what I said she once more took a Fairy Drop and gulped it down.

Idiot. Do you intend to die?

"Guu"

Mira let out a painful voice.

Her power increased several hundred times more than before but due to it blood started dripping from different places on her body.

She's reaching her limit.

"I don't even have several minutes. But if I have this power then I won't lose! I am coming, Masatsugu-sama!"

"Sigh, it's troubling that you've decided to throw your life so willingly. Doing that will make Laara sad… Well it's fine, come at me. There's no need for stalling time."

We both disappeared from our places at the signal of my words.

"Where!?"

"Look above, Lucichan!"

We flew up towards the skies and reciprocally launched our attacks at each other.

Cracks on the ground were appearing from overlapping of our fists.

"Ara~This is disastrous~"

"The terrain will change at this rate!?"

"Too abnormal."

I have a feeling like I heard Shii, Laara and Clarissa's voices.

But I don't have free time to worry about them. Because…

"HaaHaa, how is it!? Masatsugu-sama! If it's me now I can defeat you!"

"…"

"Fufufu, it seems you can't even talk!"

"…"

"So you're there!"

"Ngya!?"

I took advantage of her slip up and from behind her I hit her neck with a hand-chop.

When I did so her body shivered and she began slowly dropping so I caught her with my hands.

That's right she lost consciousness.

"Fuu… Sigh, knocking out a strong opponent like this is hard to do."

The only weak point of my skill is being able to hold back.

If I am not careful I won't knock them but by mistake I'll kill them.

That's why earlier I wasn't able to talk.

"Why did you stop only at knocking out her?"

Laara asked me while I was holding the unconscious Mira in my hands.

"Oioi, It's obvious that I don't need to kill your friend."

I said that while bitterly smiling.

When I did so Laara bowed her head in gratitude.

"Thank you. Thanks to Masatsugu-dono even if it's only for a bit I can say my farewell. I do not know the key to undo the Puppet Skill on her and she has taken too much of Fairy Drops. Her body has slowly started to collapse. She probably cannot wake up anymore but at least I can watch over her carefully like this until her very end…"

"Now, that she was subdued safely, time to undo the Puppet Skill and after that give her medical treatment."

"Eh?"

Laara's mouth was opened vacantly at my words.

Ehm, what happened?

"Why do you think I went through such trouble to subdue her? Naturally it's decided so that I can save her!"

I said so and placed my hands over to Mira like I once did to Lucia.

My "Protect (Improved)" skill activated and Mira was enveloped in a gentle light.

After several dozens of seconds her previous painful expression was gone and now there was only a carefree girl sleeping on Laara's knee.
