A black sphere popped and a monster appeared.
He is about four meters tall. The human head is a monster with body hair and eyeballs like the spider "Kuru".
The body is hardened with armor and dozens of arms grow from the back and sides. Some of those hands were held by swords.
In my world, it looks like a thousand kinds of Kannon.
Gin, Gin, Gin, Gin, Gin.
He moves countless arms simultaneously and hits the sword and sword on his head.
"Vaaaaaaaa!"
The monster screamed. A creepy loud noise shook the air.
This is the boss monster, Saratos.
I concentrated my magic on my right hand.
"― Thunder Emperor "
With a fierce flash, lightning struck the enemy.
There's a problem.
What?
Just before I touched his body, my magic vanished without trace.
"There is no magic in Saratos. We have to defeat them physically."
Shortly after Fine said so, Saratos shook up all the arms with the sword on the spot.
"Vaaaaaaaa!"
I waved down my sword with a strange voice. A vacuum wave is coming towards us.
"― Wind Barrier "
I created a wall of wind.
"Nah!
You can't do this, either? My magic was torn apart.
I flew sideways to avoid the vacuum waves, but more pursuits flew in.
When I tried to dodge him again, I noticed Fine standing there.
Fine!
…………
Shit, shit! Abandon all defenses!
Bushu!
"... ugu"
I stood in front of her and shielded myself against the attack.
Ah, it was close...
If my judgment had been slightly delayed, she would have been torn apart.
Normally, if you feel that your life is in danger, you will be mistaken. But she didn't. I'm not ready for this.
"Can you defeat that monster while protecting me? That's a dangerous named monster threat, right?
Gin, Gin, Gin, Gin, Gin.
Monsters are threatening us with their swords.
"But if that happens, will Fine stop killing me?
"Yes, I promise. Hopefully."
"Fufu, that's pretty simple."
Now, what do we do? I would have liked to bring it into the melee, but I can't leave Fine alone.
... okay.
Bowan.
I made a large number of bows into space with smoke. It's a new idea inspired by Fine's magic.
"[Magic Arrow Summon]"
With that in mind, a bunch of blue and shining arrows appeared in the air.
I'll set the arrow on the bow.
"There's no magic in that.
"No, that's fine."
- Take it!
I unleashed the arrow at once. I keep summoning magic arrows and use smoke bows in succession.
A barrage of arrows no less than Fine.
He knocks down arrows with his sword.
Some of them went through his sword, but the magic arrows flew away before hitting the flesh.
But I kept shooting arrows.
"Vaaaaaaaa!"
Soon he ran into us, numb or something.
I keep shooting arrows, but of course I can't stop him. Saratos broke in ignoring my barrage.
"[Thundercracker]!
Again, I fired a thunderbolt.
At the same time, I set my eyebrows on something I had prepared beforehand.
The spider's head turned upside down.
Vaaaaaaaa?
The monster fell from his back to the ground.
"Hmm. Just because magic doesn't work, I guess you've neglected your defenses too much. Dagger named Desperation stabbed you in the head."
I set a dagger on one of his bows and shot him between his eyebrows. Magic arrows and thunder emperors are just a blind eye to make a real hit.
- Mm-hmm?
Saratos is trembling. Daggers are buried between my eyebrows, but it's a lot of vitality.
Standing up is troublesome. This may not work for him anymore.
At this moment when he's down, I want to be sure to take him down.
- Okay, let's try it.
"[Equipment Summoning]"
I summoned Dagger and this time I pulled the smoke bow myself.
And then...
Zuzuzu, the smoke is dyed yellow.
Great. It worked.
Yellow smoke. Smoke of lightning attributes.
The power of this smoke is "amplification."
You can 'amplify' Dagger's power...
Smoke is emitting a sound similar to that of Bachi, Bachi, and even the birds.
"Sick!"
At the same time as you release the dagger, baiiiiit! And the air burst.
Moments.
While drawing a laser beam-like trajectory of light, Dagger flew, piercing Saratos's body from crotch to head at once.
And then...
Boom!
The body of Saratos, shot through by a laser, exploded into the wood.
Quite powerful. This will be a weapon if you use it well.
I didn't level up. Is SP negative 4?
Even an enemy as strong as this can only get this much.
I was expecting a little this time...
"No way... it's so easy for Saratos..."
That's what Fine murmured.
"What do you think? I kept my promise."
That's what I said, and I took a step forward.
"Nku!
Fine trembled and stared at me.
Oh, I see. I don't like this look.
That's when I tried to get back into human mode.
Silver flashes appeared around Fine and countless masket guns appeared in the air.
"... I'm really sorry. This is the last time."
Gachan, the sound of an iron shot overlapped.
And the muzzle turned towards Fine at once.
- No way!
Fine!
Damn it!
Boom, boom! Boom!
Almost there. I was able to hug Fine.
Use your wings to protect her.
The gunshots kept ringing with a heavy shock.
"You're going to die.
"... my body is sturdy. As you know, it's not a human body."
If you use "Physical Enhancement" and "Dragon Struggle" and continue to heal, you can endure it somehow.
"But my soul is human. I want Fine to understand. That's why you're here."
"... Mr. Lute"
The sound of a fireworks explosion continued.
Eventually, the gunfire stopped.
Looks like we finally ran out of ammo.
This is exactly what happens when the liver gets cold. I didn't mean to shoot myself.
Boom!
I went back to human mode and got away from Fine.
"Now, what happens next?
Fine kept quiet for a while.
"... I'm sorry."
Fine covered her face with both hands and murmured.
"... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I knew it... I like Mr Lute.... I love it."
"Fine...."
Fine then continued to cry for a while while whispering her swallowed "Greetings".
I waited and waited for her to calm down.
…………
……
Is that enough?
It's been a long time since I stopped crying, but Fine doesn't say anything, so I just stand still.
"Um, Fine?
Fine's body trembled.
"... yes"
I've been confessed, so I guess I have to answer.
... okay.
"I'm glad you like me, but I..."
It's okay.
Fine blocked my words.
It's okay now. I'm satisfied that you just conveyed my feelings. And... I love you, and I don't want to kill you anymore, but I haven't lost my hatred for monsters.... "
"... I see."
I said so briefly.
I was carrying that kind of murder. Fitney must be holding it down now so it doesn't appear on the surface.
"In the meantime, I'd like to heal your chest wound. Are we getting closer?"
Fine nodded hard.
Fine pulled her collar and exposed her chest. Painful nail marks are hurting my skin.
Using the magic of healing, the wound healed instantly.
Instead, my name tattoo went back...
All right, we're done.
Distance from Fine again.
And then...
"... are you mad at me?
Fine asked with an anxious face.
"I'm not angry."
"... really? Don't you think she's a selfish woman?
He's asking about my face in a twinkle.
"I don't think so. Don't worry about it."
"... yes. I knew it was gentle...."
Fine's eyes are dull.
"Come on, let's open the treasure chest!
I tried to say that brightly for now.
When I defeated that boss, a new chest appeared.
"What's in it?
"This boss drop is what I was looking for."
"Fine?
"Yes, I found the boss's Summon Monster card during the Labyrinth and kept it hidden for a long time. Someday to get this item."
I will try to open the chest. Then there was a card in it.
□□□□□□□□□
[Witch's Skin Potion] Card
1. It is possible to materialize by bearing in mind. I will not return to the card.
2. It has the effect of eliminating any skin problems where it is applied.
3. Effective period is one year. However, if you use too much magic, the medicine will fall off.
4. It is only effective for those who have made it real, but the capacity is not usable for a lifetime.
□□□□□□□□□
"This is...."
"Yes, I was hoping to get this item to get rid of the tattoo."
I see.
Good. Now my tattoos are gone, and my name on my chest is gone.
"Well then, Fine has to be real. Come on."
I gave Fine the card.
"... are you sure?
"Of course, right?
"... but..."
Fine is reluctant.
Well then, let's do this. This is in return for the golden fish. "
I handed her the card with force.
"... thank you. I will definitely repay you this favor. Even if it takes a lifetime....."
... oh, it's heavy.
"Never mind. Let's try it anyway."
"Ha, ha!
The card is on Fine's hand, Bo! and materialized.
At first glance, it only looks like a container of ointment.
Well then, please.
When Fine opened the lid, she gave me the container.
"What? Why?
"I can't see your face.... please."
Her eyes are wet when she squeaks.
"... uhh. I got it."
I can't refuse if you ask me with this face.
I can't help it.
I took the medicine with my fingers and applied it to Fine's face.
Well, what do you think? Is it gone?
"Yeah, that's amazing. That's it."
Beautiful skin is there. It just looks like nothing happened from the beginning.
That's the mysterious power item God made. How does it work...?
I gave the medicine back to Fine.
"You can paint your chest later."
"... breasts?
Somehow I tilt my neck.
"That's my name. Turn it off, right?"
"... I won't turn it off.
…………
"... bothering you?
My eyes are wet again.
... what should I do? Please don't make me cry or get angry anymore.
"No, it's not a nuisance. Feel free to do whatever Fine wants."
That's what I said.
She brightened her expression.
"Great! Happy! Thank you!
I feel like I've seen a bright face for a long time. Well, I'm glad to hear it, okay?
"Let's go! They'll be waiting for you."
Yes!
We headed for the exit stairs to get out of the boss's room.
I can finally get out of this creepy dungeon.
Jesus, I'm pretty tired this time.
With that in mind, he walked through the bright door.
