“Deles!”
“Yes, it’s okay this time.”
As the enemies started using better combinations,
I’ve also gotten used to the movements of these “Secret Five Warriors.”
(But something’s strange, my sword isn’t hitting them.)
It feels like there’s no impact,
even attacks that I’m certain will hit,
are blocked by the enemy’s sword or narrowly dodged.
(Even the skill that can hit distant enemies is being dodged.)
It’s as if they knew my sword’s movements
from the very beginning.
“Hapi hapi” “Hapi happi”
“Hapi? Hapi hapi” “Hapipi hapi” “Pihappi!”
…They seem to be having a noisy conversation,
wearing colorful armor, sounding female.
“Hiiiiiiii!!!!”
Whoa, they attacked all at once, simultaneously!
“Fireball!!”
Gumii-san shot fireballs!
Six of them at once… but none hit!
Still, by them dodging those, I managed to escape.
(This doesn’t seem like a matter of speed or anything like that…?!)
Something feels off…
“Gumii-san, can you double the fire?”
“Yes, but the magic power consumption will also double.”
“Fire with all your might!” “Understood!”
Various attack magic is unleashed at the enemies, but…!!
(Ah, I get it now, it’s luck, their luck stat is high!)
In other words, their hidden stat, ‘Luck,’ is super high.
But the fact that my skill to hit distant enemies doesn’t work must be due to their skills or equipment.
(Then, all I have to do is make it unavoidable!)
“Gumii-san, come towards me!”
“Eh? Is that okay?”
“Yes, when Gumii-san gets here, ride on top of me!” “On top?!”
On the way,
one of the Five Warriors attacked me,
but I blocked it with magic, and then Gumii-san reached me.
“Since the consumption is low, please just randomly shoot magic in all directions.
If your magic power runs out, swallow a candy and continue as ceaselessly as possible.”
“I understand, but on top of you?” “I’ll give you a piggyback ride!” “Whaaaat?!?!”
…Alright, done.
(They’re attacking normally too, now’s our chance!)
“Gumii-san!”
“Fire!!!” “Thunder!!!” “Wind!!!”
Basic attack magic is fired off,
even if it hits, it shouldn’t do much damage,
but they’re meticulously dodging each one, yes, it’s really all about luck.
(And then I…!!)
“Rolling Link Tune!!”
An upgraded version of the rolling triangle magic,
squares and circles also change speed irregularly and are fired at the enemies!
I can cast it without incantation, but I chose to say it out loud.
“S-so amazing, you’re amazing, Deles!”
“No, Gumii-san, that’s a bit lewd!”
Since I’m on Gumii-san’s shoulders, well, you know.
“Ah, I think I hit one.”
“Alright, let’s attack all directions, all around!”
Even the Secret Five Warriors can’t seem to escape this sheer volume of attacks.
And as our magic power runs out, Gumii-san and I swallow candies.
“Happy-pipipi!!” “Hapi-hap-happe-hapi!!”
“Hapi-hap-hapi” “Hapipipipi hapi” “Happi-hapii!!”
It seems their conversation has concluded,
and the Secret Five Warriors keep jumping up to attack from the sky!
(They seem to have figured out that attacks from above do less damage and shared the information.)
“This is our chance, when they jump up, block them with walls!”
“Yes, Fire! Black Wall!! Thunder! Black Wall!! Gulp, gulp, Wind Cutter!”
Swallowing candies, I repeatedly cast normal attack magic and wall magic.
Even when they jump, they hit the wall perfectly!
I also deflect approaching enemies with my sword and use Light Magic’s counter-rotation circle, triangle, and square…!!
(As expected, they can’t dodge this storm of magic anymore.)
If there’s no escape, luck means nothing!!
(Eventually…)
“Hapi!!!!” “Ha-hapi…”
“Pii… Pii-chan…” “Pipipipipipi…”
Four down, and the last one!!
“Pipipipipipiiiiii!!!!”
With a death cry, it fell.
“Fuu, Gumii-san, it seems to be over.”
“We did it! We finally defeated the Secret Five Warriors!”
“Their colorful armor is all torn up… Huh?”
Some of the equipment is auto-repairing.
No wonder they were so hard to defeat.
“Let’s see, the weapons and armor that returned to their pristine state are all different.”
They’re displayed as items… is this…!
“Deles, what’s wrong?”
“Yes, this beautiful helmet is ‘Happy Happy Helm,’ it increases luck, apparently.”
Picking it up, it appears to be a female monster with brown hair, humanoid though.
“Then, what about this one?”
“For the other one (humanoid monster), it’s ‘Happy Happy Armor,’ ‘Happy Happy Shield,’
then ‘Happy Happy Sword,’ and finally ‘Happy Happy Boots’.”
These can be equipped by any class.
They have the highest luck amplification for all equipment.
“That’s amazing. Should we take it off?”
“Indeed. Uhm… ah!”
Inside, there’s a rather sexy set of underwear.
(Female humanoid monsters really love sexy underwear.)
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s just that I’m not good at removing magic stones.”
“Then, shall we just put it away like this?” “Yes, into the Item Box.”
Now then, the door to the Demon Lord’s Room, visible beyond,
should be open.
“…Shall we return for now?”
“We can come back anytime with this scroll, right?”
“Ah, yes. Well then, for now, let’s go inside.”
So, the Demon Lord’s Room, where not a single person has set foot yet,
pushing open the door, the one inside was…!!
“Uuuu… SHOWDOUGA, TOPMERARENAI!”
“Kairaku Ojisan spoke?!”
“MOTOMERU… GASHATOIU, KAIRAKUGA.”
He’s saying something I don’t quite understand,
but the Demon Lord’s true identity seems to be ‘Kairaku Ojisan Who’s Overjoyed His Hair is Growing,’ apparently.
(Yes, he certainly looks much more bushy than a typical Kairaku Ojisan!)
And he looks like a perfectly muscular old man.
“Deles, dodge!” “Eh?! Uwaah!!”
He was in front of me in an instant!
I hastily dodged, but what is this speed?!
It’s good I trained with Anju-chan, it’s almost instantaneous movement.
“Hya!”
“Uuuuuuuu…”
“No good, too fast!”
Even when I try to strike with the Pride Sword,
he dodges it just by me preparing to swing!
At the same time, he tries to grab me, so I’m just focused on escaping!!
(This is truly the highest-tier monster of the Kairaku Ojisan type.)
Now, how should I defeat this troublesome old man-monster?!
