“Movement Commenced”

Fel reported while touching the earring on her ear. This earring was a magical tool called the ‘Denwa,’ created by Crow, which allowed communication with someone from a distant location.

“Please take care of the information gathering there, and also, please look after Yuma.”

“Understood.”

Fel ended her conversation with her partner, Lulsila, and turned her attention to Yuma and Alicia, who were accompanying her.

“Nii-ni is gone…”

Yuma held onto her clothes, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked around nervously, clearly unsettled.

” Yuma, don’t cry.”

Alicia gently stroked Yuma’s head. However, she, too, seemed somewhat sorrowful.

(Should I tell Yuma-sama and Ali-sama about the current situation that they were kidnapped?)

As Fel pondered, something happened.

“————If you want them back, then fight me.”

Amidst the crowd, Fel was the only one who didn’t miss hearing that voice.

“I see. ————Gleipnir.”

In an instant, she identified the source of the voice and sent her chains in that direction, but… they were easily dodged.

“As expected, you dodge them.”

“You’re an interesting one, manipulating those chains.”

The sudden scuffle caused the festival spectators to gasp, and they quickly made way for the combatants.

Standing there was a succubus wielding a large scythe.

“I am Ichi. I will be your opponent.”

“So, it was your doing that our two friends disappeared.”

“Ah, the masked boy and the female swordsman, right?”

“There’s no mistake that you’re the ones who abducted them. Please return our leader and our friends.”

“Leader? The one behind the mask, huh?”

“Yes.”

“That’s your boss? Haha, that’s hilarious! To think such an unimpressive person is your leader is laughable.”

Upon realizing that Crow was their leader, Ichi couldn’t contain his laughter and clutched his stomach. This sight furrowed the brows of Fel and Ali.

“You dare mock Master Crow…”

“Master, he insulted you.”

As anger-filled words were exchanged, one of them spoke out differently.

“Nii-ni, people who make fun of him, I hate them…”

With tears in his eyes and clutching his clothes tightly, Yuma said those words. Witnessing this, Fel and Ali temporarily lowered their weapons.

“What? What’s this brat talking about?”

“Nii-ni, where…?”

“Who knows? He might be dead by now. Hahaha!”

“————Keraunos!”

In response to Ichi’s mocking laughter, Yuma manifested an axe.

【Keraunos】

A weapon believed to have been possessed by Zeus, the supreme god in Greek mythology. It was remade into an axe form. It’s also known as the “Thunderbolt of Zeus” and is said to have the power to instantly dissolve and incinerate the world with its thunderous might.

” I don’t want Nii-ni to disappear… Give Nii-ni back…”

“Huh?”

“Give Nii-ni back…!!”

With tear-filled eyes, Yuma pleaded desperately. Suddenly, vibrations started to occur, followed by a tingling electric sensation that alerted Ichi to the anomaly.

“Uwaaaahhhh~~!!”

As if resonating with Yuma’s emotions, the situation began to change. Just as Yuma started crying, the ground beneath her feet sank with a squishy sound.

But it didn’t stop there; the ground itself started to tremble, as if experiencing an earthquake.

“What the heck, brat!”

Ichi stepped back cautiously, on guard.

As Yuma, driven by her emotions, was about to swing her axe, Fel quickly wrapped his chains around her and pulled her towards him.

“————Gleipnir.”

Fel restrained Yuma’s movements and embraced her tightly, trying to calm her down.

“Please, calm down, Yuma…!”

“Hic… Sniff… Fel-chan…”

Sensing Yuma’s powers going out of control, Fel hugged her to soothe her emotions. Once the axe was returned, the vibrations subsided.

“I apologize, Ali-sama. Could you take over for a moment?”

“Sure, understood. I’ll repay those who made Yuma cry.”

With that response, Ali stepped forward.

“————Meteor Fire.”

With a snap of her fingers and an incantation, numerous fireballs appeared. Instead of directing them towards the succubus, Ali aimed them at the audience.

“Screams!” 

“What’s happening!?”

The fireballs rained down towards the crowd. However, it seemed Ali had precise control as the fireballs narrowly missed hitting anyone.

Nonetheless, panic ensued. The people scattered, screaming, and in no time, the surroundings were devoid of people.

“Now there are no more nuisances. Let’s fight fair and square.”

“Tsk, our prey got away… Oh well. Either way, you won’t be leaving this country.”

Ichi remained wary of Ali, wielding the big scythe.

On the other hand, Ali’s expression changed as if she remembered something, and she spoke to Fel who was standing behind her.

“Hmm, Fel. Which one should I use, ‘Uasu’ or ‘Kirukē’?”

“It wouldn’t be wise to use ‘Kirukē’ here. Let ‘s go with ‘Uasu’.”

“Got it. ————Uasu!”

As she chanted, a staff appeared in her hand.

【Uasu】

An ancient weapon passed down from ancient Egypt, symbolizing domination. It is also used as a symbol to control the power of chaos, imbued with the meaning of ‘strength.’

“Don’t think you can defeat me with just a staff!”

Ichi closed the distance and swung her scythe towards Ali, but…

“———Boa.”

Her blade never reached Ali, as she was engulfed in an explosion.

“Aaaah! What the…!?”

When the smoke cleared, Ichi’s face was covered in severe burns.

“Approaching Ali is impossible.”

Spinning the staff around, Ali took a step forward.

“This staff is incredible. Master made it. It doubles the power. It’s an intermediate-level spell.”

Hugging the staff protectively, Ali looked down at Ichi, who was on the ground, clutching her face.

“Tsk, then ……”

Ichi averted her gaze.

As if it was some kind of signal, multiple succubi appeared from nowhere and attacked Fel, who was holding Yuma in her arms.

“…Sigh. Even with one hand occupied, you won’t be able to defeat us,” Fel said calmly as she manifested several chains, moving them like living creatures to block the attacks one after another.

“———Bandit!”

As she clenched her fist, the chains coiled around the succubi’s bodies, immobilizing them.

“What the hell are you all…?” Ichi’s face filled with fear as her blood ran cold, and cold sweat trickled down her back. The overwhelming difference in power left her terrified.

It wasn’t just her; even the succubi who had come to support her were restrained by Fel’s chains, dropping their scythes to the ground in shock.

“An-Ali and the others are Master’s allies. They serve the world’s strongest Master,” Fel explained.

“Do you still have the energy to babble useless words? Then…”

Without letting her finish, Fel held out her hand towards Ichi.

“Now, it’s time for the fun and enjoyable Goumon (torture) session.” 

Fel said with a smile, clenching her fist tightly.
