The Boy Who Fell to the Lowest Level of the Dungeon, Becoming the Strongest and Returns to the Surface After 10 Years~He Just Wants to Live a Quiet Life, but His Childhood Friends Who Have Risen to Prominence Won’t Leave Him Alone~ - Chapter 27: Bonding Collaboration

(Huh, are you kidding me?)

Everyone on the battlefield thought so.

Enemies and allies don’t matter.

It’s because the older sister, who is in her thirties, is dressed like a magical girl.

“The Magical Girl Billin! I’ll punish you on behalf of the royal capital!”

From an all-black suit, Virgo transformed into an entirely white uniform.

A large ribbon adorns the chest area, and a short, frilly skirt is added to the lower half.

That appearance had gone beyond painful to something harsh.

(“””W-whoa…”””)

The people around are looking at her with disapproving eyes.

However, even that gaze was anticipated by Virgo…

(Look at me with more contempt…!)

Virgo dresses as she pleases and feels fulfilled.

When she feels the surroundings are tough, her masochistic tendencies are satisfied.

Virgo had entered an invincible state.

“I’m coming~!”

And, above all, the most troublesome thing is that this magical armor is actually strong.

“That’s it, that’s it~”

“””Gwaaaaaahhh!”””

Virgo swings a fixed whip.

Then, lovely attacks like hearts and stars come flying out.

A whip that boasts unparalleled strength in close and mid-range has been enhanced with long-range attacks.

There’s no way to stop the current Virgo (in many ways).

“Everyone, let’s get magical!”

“””Ahhhhhhh!”””

“Scar” had the advantage of having long-range attacks.

However, thanks to the Magical Girl Billin, the situation quickly turned around.

“I’m going to punish you! ☆彡”

(“””It’s tough, but strong! … Really tough though!”””)

Gaze, power, this entire battlefield is under Virgo’s control.

For both the “Scar” side and the Royal Capital side, it was an utterly unexpected trump card.

“Ahahahaha!”

At this point, it’s as clear as day which way the battle will tilt.

If there was one person who was sad, it would be Captain Schwa.

(When’s my turn? …Tough.)

Thus, although the academy and the knight order were caught off guard by the surprise attack, it is said that the battlefield was later pacified mainly due to the achievements of the two individuals──.

★

“I will have you move from there…!”

Tina, who raised her voice, took out her staff.

A small elite group, including Tina, is currently in the midst of a plan to strike the main base of “Scar” first.

What stands in her way is──the former A-rank explorer, Gorea.

“Oh, what’s that? That weapon.”

Gorea is a nemesis for Tina.

He was blasted away by Elta when he returned to the ground, but Tina had been regretting that moment ever since.

She wondered why she couldn’t solve it by herself back then.

“Tina-chan, how about joining my team now?”

“…Ugh!”

That rugged body still holds a hint of fear.

Still, Tina faced him head-on.

“I don’t like it!”

“Well.”

That response is, in other words, a signal to start the war.

“──Then die.”

“…!”

In the next moment, Gorea’s fist was closing in on Tina.

It’s a speed that no ordinary human could achieve.

However, if it’s the current Tina, she can dodge it.

“I knew you would come!”

“What!?”

Tina quickly twisted her body, and Gorea’s fist sliced through the air.

Additionally, Tina is not alone.

“Ha!”

“Guuh!”

Celia slashes Gorea with the ice sword she took out.

However, she didn’t intend to show mercy, but it only resulted in a wound to the torso.

“…So stiff.”

“Oh, oh, that was close.”

Speed, power, and toughness have all increased abnormally.

To such a Gorea, Jura spoke up.

“You’re blending in.”

“Hahaha, you really have the information, don’t you! Ah, that’s correct.”

The inhumane acts of the cult “Scar”──monster fusion.

By fusing humans and monsters, it is a technique to acquire great power and monstrous forms.

Behind this, there are many experimental victims, experimental monsters, and sacrifices.

However, Gorea is a successful person who fits in well.

“I have fused with the A-rank monster ‘Red-Crowned Wild Boar’!”

“That explains it, right?”

The secret to Gorea’s power lies in monster fusion.

The characteristic of “Red-Crowned Wild Boar” is its high physical ability.

Among them, in terms of “charge,” there is no known monster that can surpass him.

At first glance, it seemed impressive, but Tina skillfully dodged the punch.

“You always start with your right fist!”

“Tch, brat!”

Gorea clearly remembered the time when he tried to attack Elta.

With this, Gorea lost a golden opportunity, and it became his last words.

“Then, that’s it.”

“Huh?”

Tina channels her strength into the staff she took out.

Then, a light green glow that seems to heal the surroundings begins to overflow.

Celia and Leone were taken aback by that.

“This is…!”

“Its power is overflowing…!”

It’s the effect of the special weapon that Tina received from Jura.

When her brother asked about her special weapon, Tina said, “I have something in mind.”

The answer that led to that point is reflected in this weapon.

(I don’t have the same power as the three of them.)

It’s not that she has given up, but she’s currently inferior to Celia, Leone, and Jura.

Realizing that, Tina still wished to be of some help.

Then, right now, she thought she wanted to support his brother and everyone.

“My special weapon is to empower everyone!”

Tina’s exclusive weapon──’Fairy Papillon’.

It is a staff made from butterflies that brings healing and strength to those around.

The healing butterfly “Fairy Papillon,” whose source of power is unknown.

However, it is said to be the “power of thought” according to one theory.

The more she thinks of others and wishes to empower them, the greater her influence becomes.

Since her time in the orphanage, young Tina has always been protected.

However, she didn’t just want to watch the great seniors from behind. She wanted to be of help to herself.

The strength of that feeling is unmatched by anyone.

“Such incredible power…!”

“Tina-chan…!”

Celia and Leone have a look on their faces as if they can’t believe their own power.

The amount of Tina’s enhancement buff must be that significant.

Perhaps eager to use their powers, the two briefly glanced at Gorea.

In the next moment, Celia’s sword is swung as if it had vanished.

“──Ha!”

“Huh!?”

With the enhancement buff from Tina, Celia unleashed a four-hit combo at lightning speed.

Due to the ice created by that sword, Gorea’s limbs were immobilized.

There, Leone, riding the wind, gives chase.

“Ha!”

“Gah…!”

Leone’s speed has been further honed, becoming a sonic slash.

As Gorea suddenly knelt down, Celia and Leone turned around.

“Jura!”

“Jura-nee!”

Towards Jura, who was holding two pistols.

Of course, Jura is also receiving Tina’s enhancement buff.

“…Hehe.”

Jura’s aim is set in an instant.

But in that moment, her conversation with Tina flashed through her mind.

────

“Tina-chan, are you really okay with being the support type?”

The older sister, Jura, is very caring.

It seems she had noticed all along that Tina was trying to catch up with them.

Still, Tina nodded.

“It’s fine. More than anything, I want to be of help to everyone.”

“I understand.”

“But, Jura-san.”

“Huh?”

However, without forgetting the goal.

“I will definitely catch up with everyone…!”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”

────

After a brief moment of recollection, Jura glanced at Tina.

(Realizing one’s own weaknesses is not an easy thing.)

Then, she poured all her strength into the gun.

Including the enhancement she got from Tina.

(Just being able to do that, she’s already strong…!)

And then, she unleashed her full power in one go.

“Eat this!”

“Ahh!”

Celia and Leone dramatically clear the way.

Because they instinctively felt the terrifying power of the bullet Jura had loaded.

“Gwaaaaaaaah!”

Jura is also a childhood friend of Tina.

Fueled by that heartfelt power, she unleashed a force strong enough to blow away everything around her.

Gorea shouldn’t be able to stand.

“””Yay!”””

The splendid coordination of their bond was achieved, and each of the four raised their voices.

They clearly defeated a high-ranking Gorea.

It seems they thought they could carry out the operation with this.

──Until they hear that cold voice.

“I came because it was noisy.”

“””…Ah!”””

It’s not a loud voice, but it strangely resonates in their ears and heads.

The four of them, their hearts pounding, slowly turned to look in that direction.

“Who dares to stand in my way?”

From there, the boss of “Scar” was floating in the air and looked down at the four of them──.

───────────────────────

Afterword

The boss of Scar has appeared before the heroines!

The defense of the royal capital will intensify even more!
