Chapter 106

Shiromoru POV

"It keeps destroying what magic we have, and I doubt any of us here have any physical skills."

"Excuse me?!" The paralyed Raijin screamed from below.

"Yo-you can't move Pri-prince Raijin... Please calm down..." Kikyou went to her side and tried to soothe her with some pats as she clenched her teeth.

"That's true, do you just not think I exist?!" Saboten, while she slashed at a shadow arm that shot towards Raijin and her sister, yelled at me.

She's so rude.

She's not usually like that with me...?

With you.

"I understand about your two's worries, however, I think Nikami-sam-"

"Shiromoru."

Shoubu's smile twitched when she moved her head towards me, the darkness of her smile worsening. "Yes, I mean Shiromoru-san had meant that we don't have enough skills to make enough physical hits against it. While it is an albino orge and it's main weakness is physical damage, we have to deal with that masked terrorist along with her light magic. Not to mention the physical might that the ogre might have." Shoubu nodded along with her words while she flicked her fingers up to create a wall of water to save Kikyou that was distracted with tending to Raijin.

"It's odd why she's not using the ogre to her advantage, seems quite stupid that she doesn't even let it fight us straight up and only using magic. She's stalling for something." I gave them my thoughts while the princess had narrowed her eyes at the ogre, "You're correct. She is stalling for the night. As light magic is powerful in its own right, she's more proficient in her main element."

"S-so what do we do?" Kikyou stood up, swirled earth around Raijin to protect her.

"We shall distract her while someone catches Shirayuri-sama while that maid is gone." "We could overwhelm it with so much magic it would get tiring." The two of us said at the same time, and the difference of both of our plans perplexed me. I turned to her as she did the same, blinked at her while she let out a small giggle.

"You want to brute force it?"

"We can do both!" Shoubu didn't respond to my question and only clasped her palms together, a bladed smile polished.

This cheeky witch.

"You can bombard her with magic, and while me and Yasachu go behind and take her." I yanked the small white haired girl that was shooting over at the ogre to my side then caressed her head.

"Sounds good to me."

"You are so fucking annoying!~" A roar and the ground shook, everyone focused on the ogre that had taken a step forward while it gripped someone in its boulder hands. "A-ack... Damn it... How..."

"O-onee-sama-" Short lime hair, furry ears with dots.

"SABOTEN!!" Her sister was the first one to react, the princess beside me had physically gasped. I turned to her, and her smile was gone. Her smug look had been replaced by parted lips and clenched jaws, holding her breath. Her blinks had stopped, eyes widened as her body just completely halted.

I understand why she's surprised at the fact that someone that big caught one that is faster than the wind but why is she sweating so much?

Crack.

A blur had been shot at the princess' face, smacked her right in the face while she took it and stared at the thing on her hand that kept a broken frame. She quivered, noticing how distressed she was, I shuddered.

Glasses? The only person that has glasses is-

"Get your depraved hands off my sister." The squeaky Kikyou had completely shattered, her voice had gone smoked and coarse. Calamity came from her mouth and had hit me like a mace from behind. Blue eyes had long been gone as the effect of the glasses disappeared, replaced by red eagle irises filled with longing torment.

Oh fuck, her limiter glasses.

I now understood why that witch shuddered.

SHIROMORU, JUMP AS HIGH AS YOU CAN!

Nika yelled at me, but before I could clench my legs, everything went to black. My body was thrown around like a leaf in a hurricane, slammed into the vessel that Raijin had been imprisoned in.

Crack.

"ACK-" I inhaled deeply, that rift in my upper chest was pushed deeper, shot with pain. My chest went down and up and like a sponge, it soaked pain. The world cleared, but blazed meteorites sped towards me didn't help when I swirled in the air, my shrieks of pain unheeded as it crashed into my palms. Vines slapped me on the neck, sticking me on to that rigid capsule.

Shiromoru! You have broken ribs, use your healing magic!

I...Can't...Move...Damn it...

He-hey! Maybe you two could switch! Shiro-chan clearly isn't used with your healing magic, she only has ice! Hameru's voice seemed to have gotten here too.

Shiromoru, listen, I need to-

"ABSOLUTELY NOT." I howled to shut them up and unhinged my jaw, smashed it down on my lips to create a split of blood on it. My whirlpool vision focused, rust filled my tastebuds. "Hey, Meru, make her look away." I warned Hameru, knowing that this taste would remind her of that time with the villainess. Not that I care about her, it would just be annoying to listen to.

"Me...?" Giving up just because it isn't in my capacity...? That's stupid, if I can top that woman in personality, it's determination.

"What gibberish." I lifted a finger on the palms that barely held on to my wrist, and balled it up. "You insignificant fairies... I command you to... Reclaim what I have...Lost... [Regeneration.]" I casted a spell, a faint glow of green blanketed me. And as soon as my bones reattached itself, ice blasted in the air like a firework and the greatest me in the middle of it.

Is she safe?

Yeah! She's fine, she can't see or feel what's happening!

That better be the case.

I lifted a hand and flicked some of the crimson that painted my chin, reeled my elbow forward while an ice blade formed on the tip of it. I pierced it through the solid earth and used the wild blasts that kept me in midair, I twisted my body to snap it open using the blade. I eventually peered inside, blue meeting my gaze.

"What the fuck is happening out there?!"

"A field day." I rolled my eyes, "Can you move?"

Raijin groaned, but spoke, "Yeah kinda." At least she now knows how I act.

"Good, because you're on the way and I need to get that tiny queen." I snapped my fingers to shield myself from the flaming rocks, slashed the vines that grew on her casket and reached my hands in.

"In this hell?!"

"Is there a problem?"

"You're fucking crazy." She took my hand and hopped out of it, then the princess gave me an idiotic grin. "But how the fuck do you think we can find her? The gotdamn place is a literal shitstorm with vines and flaming rocks!"

"We have been going in a revolving action for about 5 minutes to the left, and before everything happened the giant had been in the north north-west of my direction. By how swiftly we are going, we should be to the west where I used to be. That means we're close, if you didn't understand." I pulled up my arms and pointed in the direction where I knew the ogre.

"What the fuck? How do you remember that?"

"Don't question it. Carry me, we still need to blast over in their direction." I rolled my eyes and in turn she did the same action. "Ugh, you're so fucking heavy though."

"Nika can hear this." I raised an eyebrow when she started to whine and warned her with a glare. She gulped and flung her arms around wildly, clenched her cheeks when she smiled.

"Th-that was a joke! I swear! I swear!" Sweat spun along with her body that struggled to stand on this rock that floated around this hurricane.

"Just kidding." She can't hear or even see this conversation, I told Meru to shut her completely after all. I now understand why that alien teases this prince a lot, it's just funny.

I still hate her though.

"What the fuck?! Come on! I don't know how this stupid fucking same body shit works!" She turned red out of embarrassment and anger, while I rolled my eyes and took her hand. "Come on already, we have to go."

"Just tell me when." Her rugged hands pulled me closer and swept my legs with her arms, she carried me. I folded my hands and held my breath, I didn't want to breathe any closer to her sweat filled chest bandages. Ugh. So icky.

"Now." I commanded and she complied, that shoeless prince had shot out of the rock with the flames on her soles. Soon enough even with the acceleration, both of our bodies were torn against the wind. Something hit my head, and when I glared up, it was white hair.

"He-help meeeee! I can't see anything!"

"Ya-Yasachu?! Holy shit-"

My poor dear had her messy hair flown into her eyes, she really does need to comb that thing. Feet stuck on a light platform that she made, she trashed around her hair in hopes to fix it, to no avail. Raijin lifted her hand and removed it for her, she blinked before she bowed down and created a floor for us too. Raijin's feet glued to it.

"Yasach-"

"Hey! Wanna help us?! We have to get Shirayuri-sama!" She interrupted me and I placed my fingertips on her arms then froze it. She hissed and responded with fire to melt it off, "The fuck was that for?!"

"For interrupting me."

"Is your pride that fucking fragile?!"

"Stop cursing, a child is watching."

"A fucking wha-" Before she contiuened, I blurted, "We should go, right Yasachu?"

"U-uhm..." She stayed in her place when we argued, but nodded anyways. "Y-yeah... The plan should be done before everything goes normal..." Yasachu's gaze was dragged over in one direction, and right after that, a flash of light happened.

Hm? Can light users know where other light users are...? Right, back then when we first came to the library, she met the tiny queen. Then pointed out that they both had light magic before the other girl noticed, this means she had more sensitivity to it.

"Do you know where she is?"

"Ye-yes... But I don't know if I can go there so easily with the wind..."

"Oh! That's easy! We can use my magic to blast over there!" Raijin exclaimed and I took an inhale, eye twitched. She really does smell like sweat...Brute. "And with navigation, we can use your platforms to jump from." I added with her words.

"Yo-you are so smart, Shiromoru!" Yasachu's honey cheers shot into my ear and I couldn't help but tug my lips.

"Ugh! Can we go already! Let me go, Yasachu, we have to go!" With words repeated, the arms that carried me became warm. Wow, so envious. Be less obvious.

And as kind as that girl is, of course, freed the prince from her grasp. I grabbed the hand of my beloved while I was still in that woman's arms, and said woman applied her anger to her flames, scorched the air around it from the start and blasted us quicker than before.

And with my lead, Darling's navigation and Raijin's might, cracks with seared orange horns emerged. Bingo.

"Prince Raijin, remember we are here to take the tiny queen, not fight that plastic villain." I warned her before she would do something reckless again, she responded with a grumble. I knew it, what a barbarian. Nika being her impulse control annoys me so.

"U-uhm guys...This might be a problem..." Yasachu mumbled, voice barely a whisper.

"Hm?"

"Look..." Yasachu pointed at what's near the horns, Ajisa webbed up on top of the ogre's head like a prey that had been caught by a monstrous spider that creates tentacles instead of string. Not only that but someone yelled in the distance, I could make it out to be two people. I figured it was that mage and plastic villain when the air that surrounded us was razor sharp, not to mention the fact that a flamed boulder just passed inches away from us.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT-" "AAAAAAAAAAH?!?!" While they yelled, I laid there in her arms and kept a deadpan face.

"Calm down, we don't have to worry about that. We need to worry about how to get past them and capture the queen."
