Entering a Company From Another World! – Chapter 433

The signal to start was a flippant remark.

It was too out of place.
It was a remark that completely ignored the atmosphere.
Because of that, I reflexively retorted, and my magic, purified through circulation, was released.

The Takemikazuchi that should have shown neither mercy nor restraint.
Its wide-ranging Blue Thunder magic.
A full-power technique that could damage even the instructors if it hit directly.

“…”

However, my intuition tells me this attack won’t defeat her.
There’s something that tells me this isn’t the end.

“Shotacon is the bestーーーーーーーーーーーーーー!!!!”

That’s why when she put on such a Hollywood-esque breakthrough scene, I couldn’t help but think, “I knew it.”
Because I had taken a stance to counter, I was able to capture her figure without panicking.

“Tch.”

I couldn’t help but click my tongue at how pristine she appeared.
Despite hitting her directly, she emerged from the lightning, letting out a perverted scream of excitement.
What’s more, a girl dressed as a sister, who shouldn’t be making such noises, appeared screaming from within the lightning.
Is this a gag manga world? I couldn’t help but harbor such an out-of-place doubt.

“As expected, unharmed. This hurts.”

While my confidence in my attack power is growing, being completely undamaged is truly disheartening.
Honestly, I was hurt that my technique had no effect on such a pervert, but inwardly, I was resigned to the fact that this wouldn’t end here.

“Let’s accelerate the magic!”
“Ooh!”

My partner, who responds to my feelings, is truly amazing.
She’s joking around right now, but her skill is genuine, as I’ve realized from her surviving that attack.
It’s terrifying how little damage her small body, which I’d imagine to be on the smaller side even for a junior high school girl, has sustained.

“…!”

I take a deep breath and step forward, timing my move with her landing.
A technique unleashed with my sharpened Ore Tree, aimed from above, considering the subsequent trajectory so I could pursue even if she dodged. As if mocking my attempt to assess her in my mind.

“Ages 12 and up are refused!!!”

She swung her martial arts with a growl.

“Gah!?”

Fast and heavy.
Each strike felt like a full-power blow.
She weaved through my attack, not retreating or defending, but lunging forward without hesitation.

This distance is bad.
While usually, a larger size difference favors the larger party, exceptions exist.
That is, inside the range, the closer you are to your own body, the more restricted your movements become.
When fighting an opponent with a significant size difference, by slipping inside that range, you can position yourself like the eye of a storm.

A distance that, while not a safe zone, allows you to move away from danger.
And it’s the range where the smallest combatant shines the most.
Her onslaught began.

“Hinnuuu, the best!! Small breasts are also the best!!”

Where could she possibly hide such power in that small body?
Without even time to wipe away the cold sweat, I had no choice but to deal with the girl who had become a tempest. In close quarters, too close to swing the Ore Tree, I was pinned down, her specialty range, and in the midst of this struggle, she unleashed a strike. I instinctively guarded a punch aimed near my liver with my magic-enhanced arm, but my hand went numb.

“Your pleading, wide-eyed look is a foul!!”

To make matters worse, it wasn’t a single strike.
If each blow were a wide swing, I could have dealt with it.
But there were no openings between her attacks.

An uppercut from a lunge.
I dodged the sharp blow aimed at my jaw, and as I tried to exploit an opening, she seamlessly shifted her attack into a spinning kick in mid-air.

“Twintails are romance!!”

A double-strike to the face.
In mid-air, her footing was unstable, and normally such an attack would have half its power, or at most become a feint. Yet, it felt as if she had secured her footing by using the air’s elements like oxygen and nitrogen as platforms, and the kick, accompanied by a roar, threatened to shatter my skull.

“You won’t get away with it!”

The thudding of her steps echoed with an exaggerated roar, *continuously*. The booming sound, like a cannon, was proof of its power. Facing the oncoming kick, I almost saw my life flash before my eyes.

However, thanks to my partner instantly deploying a Magic Barrier, I was able to create a gap of a mere hundredth of a second and narrowly escape death.

“Thanks!”

Unlike the previous battle with the Hero, I don’t have Valse-san’s power, but to be pushed this far…
I lean my upper body back and unleash a somersault kick towards the sister who was stalled at the barrier, but she dodges it with a flick of her wrist, without even attempting to defend.

“I want to see shotas playing in the pool!!”

But there was no time to entertain the naive thought that I had gained some distance.
The sister, regaining her composure in mid-air, launched a counter-attack against me while I was mid-somersault.

I dive steeply to the ground and stomp.
Because it’s a crucial point like a Dungeon Core, this space is probably built to be quite sturdy.
That’s why even when I unleashed the great magic, Takemikazuchi, the space showed no signs of damage.

However, the ground beneath my feet shattered, and there was no possibility of absorbing the impact and reducing the power. The full force of that pure stomp directly transferred.

“Loli hags are unforgivable!!”
“Gah! I can’t concentrate!!”
“Don’t lose your mind!! She’s coming!!”

I tried to focus on the battle, but her verbal attacks constantly disrupted me.
Her combat style, which alternated between brutal attacks and revealing her fetishes with each strike, was starting to wear me down.

“Uggh!!”

As a result, I finally took a direct hit.
I became emotional for a moment, and my counter-attack became sloppy, allowing her to slip through the gap and strike me.

My expression stiffened. Should I consider myself lucky that it hit my armor, or should I be worried that I would have been defeated without it? The impact was that severe. I gritted my teeth so hard they ached, enduring the pain, holding my breath, and maintaining oxygen flow to my brain.

If I’d been hit in the Mizuki, it means the opponent is in front of me, a reverse calculation from the pain. My mind cleared. My body moved on reflex, before I could even think, focusing solely on defeating the enemy.

“Raaah!!”

A counter-attack in the milliseconds before one second.
Although it hit my armor, the damage I took was significant. But, does that mean I can no longer launch a full-powered attack? No. I’ve gone through countless battles. My resistance to pain was acquired long ago. If you want to stop me, come at me with the intent to kill in one blow!!

“No thanks to knees other than shotas!!”

The click of my readiness for combat was so strong that her flippant remarks didn’t even register. My consciousness became more refined, discarding unnecessary information.

“Partner, circulate the Dragon Blood.”
“Understood. Purifying magic and circulating it!”

Judging by her mobility, her defense isn’t that high. I saw a silver screen when she blocked the Ore Tree and when she took that knee strike. If I can break through that, I can handle anything. I followed the sister with my eyes, who seemed unable to control her weight and flew surprisingly far, like a homing missile locking onto its target. I leaned forward, a sense of objectively watching the scenery flow by. The magic circulating through my body exploded.

“You’re slow.”

At that moment, I thought I heard the instructor’s exasperated voice, but if I had time to confirm that…

“Kaha.”

Defeat the opponent.
I’m sure my mouth was curved into a smile then. In fact, now that I’ve calmed down, I recognize this battle as enjoyable. I was momentarily distracted by her flippant remarks, but her fighting sense is clearly top-tier, more than a few levels above. The opportunity to fight such an opponent is precious. A student of the instructors watching this fight wouldn’t be unmoved by such a battle. Ah, I am still immature. While it’s acceptable to mix emotions into a fight, mixing distractions is another story.

“Hmm.”

Perhaps sensing the change in my feelings, the sister’s movements suddenly stopped. I want to say, “Thank you for waiting.” I apologize for dealing with you carelessly until now. I told you from the beginning, right? I advised you to go all out. That’s certainly true. Exposing her perverted tastes, so what? The opponent is a god. Carelessness, arrogance, or holding back – any of them could be fatal.

“I shall advance.”

There’s no reason not to go all out then. My heart pounded, and the Ore Tree notified me that it was ready. I don’t need a starting signal. I will simply slash straight ahead. Now it’s my turn.

“Fold and forge.”

A “Koon” sound, generated by the high-speed vibration of the air, echoed around the blade. Simultaneously, the blade began to glow red, radiating intense heat. Then, the blade gradually began to become charged.

“Long live loli shotas!”

The accumulated electricity gradually enveloped me, covering my entire body. Seeing this, the sister took a defensive stance, but it was irrelevant.

“Lightning Summon.”

Folded, folded, folded. Currently, the Ore Tree and I are continuously generating highly purified lightning magic through magic circulation, ultimately completing a pale blue blade. In sync with this, my body also emits a faint bluish-white light. The name of this technique is…

“Susanoo-no-Mikoto.”

I won’t use Amaterasu. I don’t think I can hit the opponent with maximum firepower in this enclosed space. In that case, this attack is best. Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s effect is body activation. Increased reflexes, physical enhancement, and…

“For the yet unseen loli shotas, let’s go!?”

Automatic interception. The reason I didn’t use it during the dungeon exploration was the risk of involving my companions. It’s still difficult to control, and it discharges electricity reflexively towards any nearby presence. But in a one-on-one situation, it doesn’t matter. The effect I predicted activated. I saw the silver membrane activate as she discharged electricity towards the sister who had approached rapidly. And, now that I’ve pinpointed her position…

“!”

I take a step forward, closing the distance, and slash with a feint.

“Lolis are to be cherished!!”

She’s trying to place her hand on the blade to deflect my attack, but that won’t work.

“Shota!?”

It comes from my body. I never said it wouldn’t come from the blade. The moment she tried to touch it, I discharged electricity again, repelling her hand with force. This caused her posture to break. But I won’t stop there.

“I won’t let you escape.”

My attack is a troublesome existence for close-quarters combat. The closer you get, the more you’re exposed to the discharge and take damage. But my true power begins now. I step even deeper, further in. It’s too close to swing the Ore Tree there. However, it’s a precise distance where the sister must take one more step to attack.

“Release, Binding Thunder Array.”

This is the perfect distance to use this magic. Susanoo-no-Mikoto wasn’t originally a technique for attack. It was a magic created while searching for a way to manipulate lightning-infused magic. As a result, automatic interception and body enhancement were added, but that was merely an outcome. The main point is to imbue the nature of lightning with my magic. The charged lightning is richly infused with my magic. Therefore, I can freely manipulate yin and yang, positive and negative, and it’s possible to imbue the opponent who touched it during the discharge. What can be done with that? A simple biological magnet is completed. However, its power is incomparably strong, far exceeding that of ordinary magnets. The sister, who just received the lightning discharged from me, is now the negative pole. And the lightning I imbued into the ground is the positive pole. In other words…

“I want to be hugged by a shota!?”

The sister is now happily embracing the ground.

“That both siblings have to endure this technique… what kind of karma is this?”

The binding of lightning. A being possessed by a god was restrained, even if only for a second. And in that one second, I could prepare this magic.

“Pile Regret. I’ll ask, can your defense withstand this?”

I raise my fist, and behind it, there’s the now-familiar magical array that signifies an explosion. I chose this magic over the Ore Tree as retaliation for both siblings causing trouble.

“…”
“…”

After a moment of exchanged glances, it was the sister in front of me who let out a sigh.

“I admit it, child of man. You have won.”
“Is that so?”

And so, I finally had a coherent conversation.
