The moment Demon Lord Badolin’s head opened,
A large amount of confetti rained down from the ceiling!!
♪ Chaaan chaan chachaaan
♪ Chaan chaan chachaaan
♪ Chanchakachan chan, chaan chaan, chaaaan, dendeneden!
“Finally! Finally, Badolin has been defeated! The Challenger did it!! Yahoooo!!!”
The excited narration echoed with a grand fanfare.
It’s nice and all, but there’s too much confetti, I can’t see!
I can see Badolin’s head rolling on the floor, and inside the torso…
(Ugh, there’s a lot of confetti inside too.)
I can’t confirm anything like this, but it seems to be hollow.
MAINA bravely sticks her arm in to check. The audience is also very excited, or rather, they’re about to be buried in confetti. Then, it finally stopped falling.
(You messed up the quantity, you know!)
Oh well. Yoshi-Tsujinari, the commentator, has come over specially.
“Congratulations. It was a victory by the skin of your teeth, wasn’t it?”
Ah, he’s asking Nataira.
“Yes, I… I won, didn’t I?”
“Nataira was the one who delivered the final blow. Well done. It was a victory by a mere 0.1 seconds, you could say!”
“I’m so happy! I… I with this…!!”
Rat Man brought over a large board, quite long.
“So, here is the prize money of 300 Platinum Coins, and its description!”
It’s true. The entire page is filled with text.
【Prize Money ◎ 300 Platinum Coins】
By the way, the ◎ is a picture of Badolin’s face.
I, Nataira, and MAINA are holding it.
The audience’s cheers have finally died down. Badolin’s torso also fell over with a thud.
(No one’s inside, I wonder what it was after all…?)
“Now, let’s hear from the other two. First, MAINA.”
“The team’s victory, I guess.”
“However, you dealt the most damage!” “Yeah!”
She struck a pose, particularly with her fingers.
“And Deles, you stopped singing at the end.”
“There wasn’t much time, so I’m glad I made it in time.”
“What about the prize money?” “Um, I’ll discuss it with the Leader.”
Nina nods with her arms crossed.
“Congratulations! And so, for the first time in a while, the Challenger has won…”
“Hey, hey, let go! It hurts!”
Huh? What is this voice… Badolin?!
“Older Sister, this!”
“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!”
Lyra brought them in with both hands…
It was a fairy-type Monster. Its skin was translucent and beautiful under its clothes, and it had seven-colored wings.
(Its race is apparently ‘Jewely Pixie’.)
It’s just like a jewel.
“Lyra, what’s that?”
“It got mixed in with the confetti and escaped.”
“To think I’d be caught… Grrr.”
So, this was what was inside Badolin.
Or rather, its true identity. I wonder how it was caught.
(If it lost, its plan was to escape using the confetti as soon as the costume opened.)
I look at Yoshi-Tsujinari, the commentator.
“I-I don’t know! I’m just a hired freelance announcer!”
Putting aside what an announcer is,
It started biting Lyra’s finger!
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!”
“Lyra, are you okay?”
“Um, Taming is probably impossible. Deles, this.”
Mariu came over.
“Is that a birdcage?!”
“Yes. Ms. Nina asked me before if I had a good containment item, as she wanted to secure a fast pixie in Asrik’s Dungeon, but it would escape even if caught. So, I made this cage.”
I remember that! I forgot its official name, but!
I didn’t know she had ordered an item.
Lyra throws it into the birdcage, and the cage automatically closes.
“Now, for recovery.” “Yes, Helen.”
Her blood-covered hands and fingers were healed by Healing Magic.
(If you look closely at the fairy… yes, its physique is that of a girl. Huh?)
“Mariu, that belt the fairy is wearing around its waist…”
“Yes, this is the ‘Fairy Ring’. It’s a super rare Item”.
“Whoa, what a happy prize!” “It’s not a prize, let me out!!”
It thrashed around in the birdcage, but didn’t hit the bars. It must be some kind of magic (magic tool).
“Nina!”
“Indeed. The ring is valuable, but it’s wonderful that you were able to capture Badolin alive.”
“Shut up! Aren’t you done yet? Send me back to Jewelry Island!!”
Its birthplace is the land of jewels, huh.
Iwamoto is also looking at it intently.
“With this voice, and in a birdcage, I’d want to solve a mystery as a detective.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“However, it’s not a severed head, so…”
While we were all in a commotion, I sensed someone behind us!
“Eek!!”
“What’s wrong, Nataira-chan, Lyra-chan? Wait, whaaat?!”
What came back was…
Badolin, in a ridiculously uncool bear costume with its head reattached!
(Wh-what’s going on?!)
This is an unbelievable, impossible resurgence!
The Seven Great Demon Lords’ Badolin has returned?!
I just defeated it!!!
