Chapter 306 Last Spurt

Part 2

I didn’t have time to ponder about the meaning of his words. The Cursed Spirit People who came in from behind landed on the Lounge.

Tino frantically rushed to Mimic-kun, who was left in the center of the lounge.

Open the lock. Open the lock. Open the lock. Don’t think――About anything else.

Darkness encroaches on the feet of Spirit People.? The floor, walls, and ceiling too. The darkness is approaching.

It’s not good, I don’t have the time to open it. Such a premonition passed through my mind, but I couldn’t give up without trying.

Then Tino clung to the treasure chest and, for the umpteenth time, widened her eyes in amazement.

“The lock…… Is opened!” (Tino)

The lock was lying on the floor. Mimic-kun’s lid was opened. Inside it was full of darkness, as if leading to the abyss.

It’s Onee-sama! Onee-sama figured out the situation beforehand and opened it for me!

Opening the lock was Onee-sama’s role. Then Tino’s role is――.

And that’s when Tino realized something outrageous that had slipped her mind.

……………… I-Is there a way to get this Cursed Spirit People inside Mimic-kun?

“It-is-o-ver, human! You were the most loathsome opponent I have ever met” (Cursed Spirit People)

The curse is calm. It won’t even accidentally walk into Mimic-kun. I could lift the treasure chest and rush at it, but Tino is not so naive to think that will trap my opponent.

I look at Master~. Master~ blinked his eyes as if he was waiting for something.

To still be normal during such a predicament, as expected of a god. If possible, I want you to give Tino a blessing.

The Cursed Spirit People steps forward with a demon-like expression. When suddenly, Marin’s Wails and the black knight come out from behind the Spirit People and stand in front of it.

Marin’s Wails was no longer wailing but looked like she was about to cry.

The black knight’s expression is not visible because of his helmet, but it is probably very similar to hers. The two curses are quite powerful by human standards, but they are clearly a few steps below the monster in front of them.

Seeing Marin’s Wail raises her black staff and the black knight wielding the magic sword, the Spirit People frowns.

That was all the Spirit People did.

There was no warning. Marin’s Wails and the black knight were reaped and swallowed by the black tentacles released from the back of the Spirit People.

What a terrifying speed. Tino, a Thief, didn’t even have the time to blink. Marin’s Wails and the black knight, who was facing it, probably didn’t understand what had happened to them.

Only one left… The strongest curse remaining looks at Master~.

“Non… Sense…… Did you sympathize with him, due to his weakness…… Did you bond with them――Is this… Your last resort? Cry Andrich?” (Cursed Spirit People)

The spirit person says quietly while its cheeks were *hikuhiku* twitching.

Master~ once said, “Spirit People are beautiful, but when they get angry, they are scary, except for Kruz.” And indeed, their faces are so beautiful and terrifying that it is hard to believe they are from this world.

“Uwaaah…… So awful…… How could you do that to your friends――” (Cry)

As expected even for Master~ this might have been unexpected or maybe he was overwhelmed by its power――He held his mouth and retreated.

And then――He tripped over Mimic-kun, whose mouth was still open, and was sucked in upside down.

“…………” (Cursed Spirit People)

The Spirit People remain silent with a tense expressions. Our eyes meet each other, and Tino involuntarily *bunbun* shake my head sideways.

Ah, I understand, Master~! My role――My role is to pull Master~ out, isn’t it! I’ll pull you out as much as you want, as long as it doesn’t kill me!!

The slender shoulders of the Spirit People trembles and its figure flickers strongly. And then――

“I’ll-I’ll kill you……………… Don’t you, don’t you dare make fun of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” (Cursed Spirit People)

.

“Hh!?” (Tino)

――A roar.

My knees shatter from the impact and my guts turn upside down.

Its appearance slowly *guzuguzu* crumbles into a *dorodoro* thick black liquid.

In front of Tino who couldn’t even scream, the liquid rushed into Mimic-kun’s entrance like a muddy stream.

The unexpected sequence of events delayed my judgment. No――Even if I had made a decision in time, I already didn’t have the strength to endure it.

The Spirit People didn’t target Tino, but the black liquid included Tino, who was within its effective range and near Mimic-kun.

The momentum of the current was like a muddy stream and my body was swept away. I struggled to move my frozen body, but I couldn’t resist it at all. And along with the curse, I was sucked into Mimic-kun.

I summoned the last of my strength and shouted.

“Onee-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I’m sorryyyyyyyyyyyyy!” (Tino)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

In the end, Marin and the knight did help Cry!

Of course, everything is according to keikaku.

We are in the endgame now

Tchao à plus!
