“Alright, we’ll just brute-force our way through this!”
In the town of Norder, in the Samin Country,
Just as I had a bad feeling about, a giant pudding appeared, masquerading as a giant birthday cake!
At the same time, news of Shear’s attack arrived. And thus began this fierce battle.
“UOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
“Deles, your fighting spirit is different today!!”
“At this point, I’m just going to unleash all my frustration!!”
We continued our onslaught of attacks!
♪~~

The music of three bards stopped the movements of Shear and his subordinates.
Furthermore, eight large Tamed Dragons they brought with them pinned down the Seven Great Demon Lord, Shear!!
“Alright Anju, attack its neck!”
“I’ll finish it off quick!!”
The dragons were occasionally hit by Shear’s ‘Beam Saber’, but Haitou-san would immediately revive them. It was painful to watch, but I guess it couldn’t be helped.
While this was happening, it looked like we’d be able to defeat the other ‘Gra’ and ‘Xeno’ as well. We wanted to finish this quickly!
“How about it Nataira, can you do it?”
“Yes, Shear’s remaining health is at 9%… Ah, what is that?!”
Demon Lord Shear extended both his arms,
a hole appeared in his hands, and from it…!!
*Pop, pop-pop!!*
(Something is jumping out?!?!)
“Helen, what is that!”
“Yes, it’s a monster, a ‘Sky Penguin’. It seems to be Tamed, or rather Summoned!”
“Then who is controlling them?”
“It’s likely a Summoner in the cockpit!!”
If it’s a rare class like a Summoner,
the possibilities are somewhat limited.
Just as I thought that, the flying penguins came towards us!!
(And they’re coming one after another too. A total of eight!)
This was an unexpected attack.
“Hmph!!”
Nina-san deflected them with her Berserk Sword,
but the Sky Penguin’s beaks were so sharp that it chipped slightly!
Wow, to chip Nina-san’s sword, they’re quite something!!
(Alright, me too…!!)
I swung my sword in a long-range attack, but
the target, a Summon, was too fast to aim at!
Still, if I just swung my sword around randomly, I could hit them a little…
“Hah!!”
Clarice-san blocked them with her defensive magic,
but if she does that, she can’t use her healing magic, right?
And as for Anju-chan…
“Easy peasy!”
Oh, she exchanged her weapon for the ‘Scythe of Death’ and is fighting them!
She’s fast too, so they’re quite evenly matched.
When they came at her in numbers and she was in a pinch, she escaped using Instantaneous Movement.
“Helen, please take care of the bards.”
“Understood, Nina-sama!!”
The three bards playing in the back are being guarded by the Succubi and Iwamoto-san.
Still, MAINA-san is responding with her fists to any who slip through!!
“Nastasia, how’s it going over there?”
“Yes, I’m somehow managing to… Guah!!”
Two more Sky Penguins just popped out!!
I thought they could only summon eight at a time, but
it seems Anju-chan and the Eldorado Succubus defeated one each.
(Are they replenished as fast as they’re defeated?!)
“Shusher-kun!”
“Natsu-nee-san!!”
The two Assassins who were attacking the main body were also
blown away by the Sky Penguins and separated from Shear!
Natsu-nee-san was doing her best with her claw-like weapons…!!
“Ah, they’re getting away!!”
Just as Natsu-nee-san cried out,
using the Sky Penguins to push us back and create an opening,
Shear and his group made their escape, running faster and faster… It seems we let them get away again.
“…Damn, the penguins are forming a formation to prevent pursuit.”
“Yes, Nina-sama, and the penguins are also escaping in that formation…”
“Even though they’re birds, they had water magic stones.” “Well, that makes sense.”
Anju-chan showed us a magic stone from a defeated penguin.
A Penguin Summoner… Couldn’t we identify them easily if we investigated them at the Adventurer Guild?!
“Haitou, take care of the dragons. Helen, check the injured.”
“Understood.” “Yes, Nina-sama, you first.”
“I’m fine with just this sword. How about you, Deles?”
“Ah, yes. I was safely attacking from the safe zone. Sorry.”
As we were dealing with the aftermath for the party members,
Natsu-nee-san was staring blankly, her face pale.
Nina-san noticed and flew closer.
(Shusher-kun is also very worried.)
Although, Shusher-kun himself
has a reasonably deep cut from a penguin’s beak.
While Clarice-san was treating him, Nina-san asked.
“Natsu-nee, what’s wrong?”
“…That Summon, I have an idea…”
“Do you know them?” “More than just knowing them, she was my… the party member before the one before that.”
Could it be that Natsu-nee-san’s former colleague?!
“Who is it, tell me.”
“Yes, if it’s not a different person coincidentally, another Summoner… That was…
A female Rabbit-beastman like me, from this Samin Country… Yukarileen-senpai.”
Ah, on the ground, Otuha-san and the others are making a commotion!
“Some of the residents, the Rabbit-beastmen of Norder, are injured!”
“They came out seeking help after the Golem left!”
“…I’ll help with what I can. You don’t have to worry about it, really.”
Yes, the town is a bit damaged.
“Natsu-nee, we’ll talk later. We’re going to treat the civilian residents.”
“Y-Yes! Shusher-kun!” “Y-Yes!”
Still, Natsu-nee-san’s former comrade,
Yukarileen-senpai, what kind of Rabbit-beastman could she be…?!
