Chapter 134

134. Meg’s Battle

A dazzling pale pink light filled the barrier. This color was the color of my magic power. I was glad that it was similar to Shou-chan’s.

This wind barrier was proving to be quite difficult to break. But I won’t give up! I’ll use all my magic power! As I continued to release it, I finally heard a creaking sound. Just a little more…!

“Eeeei~!”

The moment I focused all my energy, there was a BANG, like shattering glass, and the wind surged upwards. I was left behind, and then started to fall. Woo-hoo!

“Fuu-chan!”

『Leave it to me, Master! 』

The moment I called out, a gentle wind enveloped me. I wanted to conserve my saved magic power, and I didn’t have much left, so I couldn’t fly, but it slowed my descent. Haa.

“Wh-What!?”

I heard Schelmelhorn’s surprised voice. He wasn’t the only one, everyone else seemed to have noticed me and was looking up. Um, my projected landing point… Whoa! Right in the middle of a horde of monsters!

“Meg! Damn it…!”

Gil-san, Nika-san, and Kron-san tried to catch me, but they couldn’t get through Schelmelhorn, the monsters, and the Demon King, who was in dragon form. It seemed like Gil-san was stopping Schelmelhorn from coming over. Oh? My dynamic vision’s also gotten better, along with my magic power, hasn’t it?

“Homura-kun! Fuu-chan!”

『Leave it to me, Master! 』

『Let’s go!』

Oh, this isn’t the time to be thinking about such things. It’s fine, I’ll handle things myself!

Just as we’d planned, Homura-kun dropped a ball of fire towards the monsters at my landing point. The flames hit the ground, creating a powerful explosion, then spread, forming a ring of fire with a radius of about five meters. I felt bad for the monsters, so I made it so the flames had low lethality! Alright, there’s no one in the center.

“Yo, touchdown! Homura-kun, Fuu-chan, thanks! That was perfect!”

Thanks to Fuu-chan’s wind cushion, I landed safely in the center of the ring of fire. I immediately thanked them.

“Alwight, now then, Shizuku-chan. Please!”

『Are you sure about this?』

“Yeah, I think it’ll be fine.”

There’s no guarantee! But seeing the future has made me a bit cocky!

『Well then, here I go! 』

Shizuku-chan lowered its body, braced its legs, and then shot water from its mouth. It spun around once, and the flames vanished in an instant. Of course, that meant I was surrounded by monsters. They’d lost the light in their eyes, and were about to pounce on me, as if I was their prey.

Ugh, that’s scary. But I won’t lose.

“Shou-chan, please!”

『Anytime!』

This was a gamble. But I’m sure it’ll work! I took a deep breath.

“Monsters! Get… outta heeeeeere!!”

Time to persuade them! Or rather, it wasn’t even persuasion, it was an order! But Shou-chan was with me. It would simultaneously convey what I was trying to say, and more, to all the monsters. The voice of my heart.

“I’ll definitely save you from your suffering. So please, don’t get in my way. Give me some time.”

I stared at the monsters, a serious look in my eyes. I wasn’t sure if it looked convincing, but I was putting all my will and strength into it. H-How’s this…? They’d at least stopped trying to pounce on me…

“Nnyu?”

A strange sound escaped me. Because, you know,

The monsters had all moved aside, bowing their heads. I was surprised by how obedient they were. Whoa, what an incredible sight. I gratefully walked past them.

“Thanks. Wait for me, just a wittle longer.”

I said this to the monsters as I walked. Gil-san and the others were up ahead. They all looked surprised. Even Schelmelhorn. Yeah, I get it.

“The Demon King’s… pressure…? No way, even though the succession hasn’t happened…”

“Maybe it’s because of the blood ties.”

Pressure? I don’t remember using anything like that… Or maybe, those orders, maybe that became pressure. I see, so it probably didn’t work in the past because there were no blood ties between the Demon Kings, but since I have the Demon King’s blood, maybe I can use it even before the succession. But it was probably a coincidence. I doubt I could do it again!

Now then, I could clearly see how badly injured everyone was, now that I was closer. Ugh, so painful to look at… Okay!

“Shizuku-chan. Can you spray that medicinal mist on everyone?”

『The monsters and… him too…?』

“Yeah, is that okay?”

“Him” was Schelmelhorn. I didn’t like him, but I still hated seeing people get hurt. And he was my grandfather, technically.

『It is fine! As you wish! 』

I sensed a bit of disapproval, but it did as I asked and scattered the mist. The range was wide, it required a lot of magic power, and I’d just used quite a bit before, so I was starting to feel dizzy, even with the increase in my magic power!

Ah, that’s right, I brought some magic power recovery medicine. I had them put the banana-flavored, I mean, Nababa-flavored potion in my water bottle. I took it out of subspace and poured myself a cup.

“Gulp, gulp… Okii. Here I go. …Mmm, a wittle bittah, but it’s yummy!”

Fuu, I recovered a bit! I finished my potion, and just as I was putting it back in subspace, I suddenly noticed everyone staring at me. Wh-What’s with those looks? Shock, amusement, surprise, a mix of various emotions!

“Meg…”

Gil-san let out a sigh, his voice filled with exasperation, relief, and amazement. Ugh, the details don’t matter! I dived into his arms!

“I’m back! Gil-shan, is your injury okii?”

“…Yeah.”

He embraced me gently. I was worried because he’d been bleeding so much, so I looked up at him. But he quickly hugged me tightly, so I could only see his face for a moment.

So, maybe I was imagining things, but…

It felt like he was frowning, his eyes on the verge of tears.

“I’m sorry, I made you scared…”

“Gil-shan…?”

“I’ll never let you go again. I swear I’ll protect you…. I know that’s not very convincing.”

I felt his hands trembling as they wrapped around my back. I see, he’d been scared. He had said so. I’m the one who should be apologizing, Gil-san.

“I bewieve you. I’m also sowwy for scaring you, Gil-shan.”

I patted his back with my tiny hands.

“It’s okii now. Even though I might not be sho reliable.”

He chuckled softly as I said this, trying to comfort him.

“You’re incredibly reliable.”

He then showed me what must have been his best smile. So dazzling!
