Chun-chun, chun-chun…
(Fwaaah… is it morning already?)
Last night’s enjoyment, or rather, obligatory time. I must say, even I was taken aback by how perverted my partner was. But still, having temporarily transformed into a mermaid, I managed to…
(More importantly, it’s time to earn EXP today, right? Though I didn’t hear any specific meeting times.)
Should I snooze a bit longer? I burrowed back into the luxurious bed, and then…!!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
(Huh? Did I set an alarm?)
“Emergency alert, emergency alert. Shear has appeared. All Nina Starlights regular members, please gather in the lobby.”
Yumashiro-san of the Angel Race’s voice echoed from a flower near the ceiling. To think it would happen this early… it must be an emergency, so I’ll change into my regular gear. But wait, the only clothes in the room are maid outfits!
(I’ll get my own from the Item Box.)
As I was putting it on, there was a knock on the door.
“Deles, are you awake?”
“Ah, yes, Nina-san. I’m getting ready now.”
“It’s an emergency assembly. Don’t forget to bring Kaumi to the lobby as well.”
Ah, right! I looked around the room, wondering where she was, but couldn’t see her. Remembering last night, I went to the bathroom and found her there… sleeping in the bath.
(And completely in her mermaid form!)
No, I have to wake her and take her.
“Kaumi-san, I’m sorry, but it’s an emergency. Please wake up.”
“…What’s wrong? I thought you weren’t supposed to lay eggs so soon…”
“Shear has attacked!”
“Here?!”
“No, I doubt it’s here, but…”
Kaumi-san uses a Race Change Scroll (2 hours) to become human. I quickly dried her off… and made sure she grabbed her Item Bag containing the Bard’s tools. We were both done changing and heading to the lobby when she appeared before me!
“I’ve come to pick you up!”
“Ah, Anju-chan.”
“I’ll take you!—”
And then, instantly, we were in the lobby.
“You’re here.”
“Yes, Nina-san. Kaumi-san’s preparations made us a little late.”
“Shear apparently appeared in the Dragon Arena in Rittana, a town in Samin.”
The Guild Master, who looks like a bear-like Rabbit-beastman, is here. They’ll probably take us to Rittana with a Teleport Scroll. Shusher-kun is here too, but Natsu-nee isn’t. Maybe she’s already in Rittana.
“We’re sorry for the wait.”
Otuha-san and Dapena-chan, and the rest of the Bard group have arrived.
“You’re late for slaves.”
“My apologies! Last night, we were practicing our performance…”
“No excuses.”
“Yes!!”
Nina-san is strict. Just like her Knight background.
“Is everyone here?”
“We’re here!”
“Mariu too?”
“I heard it was a regular member assembly!”
Seriously, when did they get here?!
“Deles, do you understand?”
“Eh? You’re asking me? It’s something for Nina-san to decide…”
“Understood. If that is Deles’s will, I shall comply.”
W-what is going on? I can’t worry about that right now. No one’s even commenting on the fact I’m in a maid outfit.
(Let’s see… only Helen-san is missing.)
As I thought that, Nina-san, who had been looking around, nodded significantly.
“Alright, we’re all here. Anju.”
“Roger, Kuma-goro-san!”
“It’s Maruse. Let’s go!”
When we teleported, we were in front of the Adventurer Guild. Helen-san was already there. There were Succubi, fourteen large Tiring Dragons, and then…
“Understood!”
“It seems they have arrived.”
The White Frontbeard (in human form) and the Sexy Diamond Golem (in its normal form) were waiting. And these two look strangely close!
(Last night, they slept in the same nest or something.)
What were they doing, I wonder~?
*Hint: Tentacles*
As I was thinking this, Natsu-nee arrived.
“The Dragon Arena is far, but if we fly… the direction is that way!”
“Deles, in those clothes, you can’t come inside me…”
“I’ll take care of him~”
Anju-chan, who had summoned an Otherworlder, lifted me along with her. Mariu-san seemed to have her own flying equipment, I think they were shoes. Maybe I could have secretly gotten a pair if I’d asked. Maruse-san, the Guild Master of Saminse, was carried by an Ent-Succubus. She’s coming to the scene.
(And the Whitebeard turned into a sphere, with the Sexy Golem on top!)
If you look closely, it has a tentacle belt. Then they took off.
“Alright, here we goーー”
At Anju-chan’s signal, we flew in the direction Natsu-nee indicated. Below, the bear-like beastman Guild Master waved us goodbye. Perhaps they had delivered Helen-san and the others here first.
(Now then, this time, can I drag out the ‘Shear’ from within?)
Somehow, I reached Level 102. I have a feeling Otuha-san holds the key… As I was thinking this, we arrived at the Great Dragon Arena of Rittana.
“Is that it, Natsu-nee?”
“Yes, the Great Dragon that moves between continents is being tormented by the Shears!”
“Unforgivable! Bard group, prepare for performance.”
““Yes, sir!””
“Leave it to us.”
First, we landed on the roof of the Dragon Arena building. Leaving Maruse-san behind, we organized into our individual units, dividing into three groups. Eight of the Tiring Dragons will be commanded by Otuha-san, who has obtained Taming abilities.
“It’s almost a spur-of-the-moment thing, but can you do it, Otuha?”
“Yes, while performing, I can concentrate my will to give orders.”
“Then Maruse-dono, please watch from here. If we are all wiped out, please contact everyone. Though I doubt that will happen.”
“Understood.”
Thus, the battle against Shear, the nth time, would take place at the Great Dragon Arena of Rittana.
(Fighting as Anju-chan’s group, away from Nina-san. This time, I won’t let it escape!!)
