“Analyzing the war situation… we’re lacking one more move. But—”
Ly’s gaze turned to Swan Hilda, who was single-handedly dominating the battlefield with a shovel, but she shook her head in denial.
Normally, the Valkyrie Swan Hilda would have been the easiest to defeat the enemy with the divine sword “Swan Hilda”… but the enemy was likely observing the situation.
That’s precisely why Ly had instructed Swan Hilda, her trump card, to fight within the limits of a human.
If that’s the case, a different means must be found to break this deadlock, but it’s a difficult proposition.
Indeed, missing Elise and Shera, the main force of the attack, is an incredibly painful blow.
However, the fact that most of the Undead army is surrounding us and not heading towards the mansion where firefighting is underway is at least some small comfort.
Conversely, this means the enemy has a unified command…
Just then, Holy Spirit Serena landed on Ly’s shoulder.
“Over there… I’m irritated that their idea was used first,”
Holy Spirit Serena was expressing her indignation in a rather peculiar direction regarding Elise and the others from “Eternal Elise” being blown to smithereens by the “Seiken-gan.”
They probably wanted to confirm the power of the Seiken-gan.
“We absorbed the Holy Aura from the Seiken-gan implanted in our uterus and became human, so we can’t just explode them now. Still, what a cowardly method. Are you really a Holy Element Spirit? Aren’t you just a Sex Spirit or a weak spirit!!”
“That’s right! That’s right!!” Lala_Berze’s rebuttal was echoed by her younger sisters, Lili_Berze and Lulu_Berze.
“One shot is a misfire♪ Still, three simultaneous shots had no lingering consequences, which was nice. I wish they’d be blown to smithereens by the Seiken-gan after falling into Demon status again. Their calculation was that using three shots simultaneously would allow them to defeat the Undead army.”
Holy Spirit Serena, holding a new Seiken-gan, glared at the three sisters.
“Absolutely not!!”
“Tch! Useless,”
Holy Spirit Serena clicked her tongue at their natural reaction.
“I… I’ve thought of an even better idea.”
At this point, the youngest sister, Lulu_Berze, raised her hand.
“What is it?”
Ly asked with a puzzled expression.
“Well… you see. Instead of making us fall into Demon status again, isn’t it easier to strangle a weak spirit filled with Holy Aura? The scattered Holy Aura should devastate the Undead army.”
“That’s it!”
Lulu_Berze’s opinion was agreed upon by Lala_Berze and Lili_Berze, as well as others.
“I just remembered an urgent appointment,”
The surrounding party members were also staring at Holy Spirit Serena with blank expressions. Unable to withstand their silent pressure, the spirit fled into the air and became invisible.
Behind them, Dietlinde, who had narrowly missed capturing Holy Spirit Serena, stamped her foot.
“Ly, the mastermind of this attack is, in all likelihood, Zol-sensei, also known as Zolgelge.”
It was Francine who saw through the enemy’s mastermind here.
Francine, as Flandor Lamia, the military advisor of “Babel’s Gospel,” was well-versed in the methods of demons.
“Zolgelge, you say… Does that mean demons are lurking behind the Undead army?”
“Probably not. Considering Zolgelge’s personality and the fact that the enemy consists only of Undead, it’s likely his own solo operation.”
“Is that so, Francine-onee-sama? Thank you for your advice. By the way, do you know the total enemy numbers?”
“Zolgelge was secretive, so unfortunately, I don’t know either. However, looking at the enemies we’re facing, although there are many, they are all low-ranking. The executives of ‘Shibito Ningyo’ are absent. This is probably a ‘reconnaissance in force’ mission to also dispose of surplus low-ranking subordinates.”
“This massive army is for ‘reconnaissance in force’… However, we can’t find a way out unless we break through the encirclement.”
“I agree with that opinion.”
Ly was analyzing the information provided by Francine but seemed to have made a decision.
Ly, who had been making a bitter face, suddenly changed to a look of resignation.
Furthermore, her blushing cheeks were incomprehensible.
In contrast, the three former Vampire sisters, who had been “sacrificed” by Zolgelge, trembled with pale faces.
Meanwhile, Astarotte, who was fighting with a gun that could cast offensive magic, had a grim expression.
Did the presence or absence of a weapon divide their attitudes!?
“We must survive by breaking through the encirclement of the Undead army, presumably Zolgelge’s subordinates. As for the means to fill that last gap… it’s incredibly embarrassing, but do I have to show the true power of ‘Breast Magical Princess’!? Liliana, Alicia, and Tirna, can I count on your agreement?”
“The shame of travel is cast aside, Ly-sama. Let’s do it. It’s an exhilarating experience to confirm the true value of the Valletta, the pinnacle of the Ancient Magical Civilization Era!”
“Liliana… this isn’t a trip, it’s my homeland…”
“Ly-sama, is this not a trivial matter in this situation?”
“That may be so… But Liliana, you agree, right?”
“Yes! Ly-sama.”
Is this a situation where Liliana is instigating Ly, who is in distress!?
Due to her fascination with heroes, Liliana, who is well-versed in ancient languages and old magic tools, seems interested in transforming into a battle costume, which she had forbidden until now, and performing special magical attacks.
“If Ly-sama has decided, I will follow.”
“In my case, I’ve already shown embarrassing battle costumes to Hal, or rather Harem-chan, so it’s not a big deal now. I will cooperate, Ly-sama.”
Tirna and Alicia also support her decision.
“I have confirmed everyone’s intentions. Then, let’s do it!”
“Yes, Ly-sama.”
Ly and the others then pulled out the barrettes in their hair, held them high in their right hands.
“Breast! Showtime!”
The moment their keyword was perfectly uttered, a dance of light began.
When Alicia transformed before, green light overflowed, but this time, with a mixture of various colors, it resulted in a divine and white light.
Due to the dazzling light, their forms were almost disappearing, but as before, their clothes and underwear unraveled, revealing shining naked bodies.
Alicia’s naked body shone green as before, Ly was blue, Liliana was red, and Tirna was yellow.
It was a fantastic, beautiful naked body that made one fall in love again.
Ly’s explosive breasts and Liliana’s large breasts jiggled intensely, and Alicia’s rounded beautiful breasts and Tirna’s small breasts also shone divinely.
In addition, the exquisitely shaped labia also shone.
The next moment, the clinging light formed battle costumes.
The battle costumes were form-fitting, adult-like leotards, with the chest area made of a transparent mysterious material.
Only the nipples were hidden, but most of the breast mounds were exposed, making it an incredibly erotic outfit.
And when Alicia transformed, I didn’t notice, but the shapes of the transparent mysterious material were diamond, heart, spade, and clover shapes, assigned to each of them.
The crotch area was covered by differently colored pareos tied around the waist, but they seemed likely to become visible with intense movement.
Their feet were shod with pointe shoes, like ballerinas.
They were very erotic battle costumes, but with four people, it was hard to focus on one.
“Breast Magical Princess♢Lycheune, descend with abundance!”
“Breast Magical Princess♡Liliana, appear with splendor!”
“Breast Magical Princess♧Alicia, present yourself with grace!”
“Breast Magical Princess♤Tirna, arrive with brilliance!”
Having transformed into their battle costumes, they lined up in the order of Alicia, Liliana, Ly, and Tirna, striking a pose.
It was as if delicate flowers had bloomed on the brutal battlefield.
“Then, we will use the Maiden Technique [White Supernova]!”
“Ly-sama, jumping straight to the ‘ultimate technique’?”
“Liliana, the sequential deployment of forces is foolishness.”
“Understood. Still, to use [White Supernova]! But since the opponent is the Undead army, it’s the best move.”
“White Supernova!”
Then, the four “Breast Magical Princesses” stood facing inward in a concentric circle, forming a virtual magic circle, and began to pray with their eyes closed as if meditating.
Their magical power then materialized.
A blue sphere of light formed in front of Ly, and green, red, and yellow spheres of light appeared in front of Alicia, Liliana, and Tirna.
The spheres of light were about larger than their heads.
Next, they raised both hands towards the sky, and their respective spheres of light also ascended.
And the spheres of light approached and fused with each other.
The spheres of light, which had been emitting seven colors, gradually changed to a dazzling white.
At the same time, the spheres of light began to contract, but the emitted white light seemed to carry holiness.
As the ascending spheres of light stopped, they began to descend silently without a sound.
We watched this sacred ritual magic with bated breath.
And just before the spheres of light touched the ground, they suddenly emitted a tremendous light.
The torrent of exploding light dyed our vision and robbed us of our sight.
When our vision returned, the Undead army that had surrounded us ten layers deep had stopped moving.
What happened next was that the Undead disintegrated into white particles and then dissolved into the atmosphere.
In the end, the Undead army vanished anticlimactically.
What tremendous power!
While some saints and saintesses could manipulate holy magic over an area, their power was nowhere near this.
At the same time, the memories of Lester the Cleric, my past life, returned.
Lester the Cleric had a scholar friend who was a priest researching divine techniques. He was studying light.
When you mix various colors of paint, beautiful colors become murky and eventually turn black.
However, with light, it’s the opposite: when you mix various colors, they eventually turn white.
And sunlight, the representative of white light, is mysteriously decomposed into seven colors when passed through a prism.
I wondered if the [White Supernova] used by Ly and the others was magic based on the same principle.
Nevertheless, the wisdom of the Ancient Magical Civilization Era is fathomless, to synthesize pseudo-holy magic by mixing four elemental magics…
“It was a success… But my breasts have shrunk by about two sizes.”
Ly was beaming with joy at the success of the magic, but her expression turned sad as her own breasts visibly shrank.
“The shrunken breasts will return to their original size in a few days. Isn’t it nice to enjoy a lighter body for a change?”
In contrast, Liliana, whose breasts had also shrunk by about two sizes, was more positive.
“More importantly, it will take a considerable amount of time to recover the simultaneously used Maiden Power, so there’s a long cooldown period before we can use [White Supernova] again, which is a pain.”
Liliana’s explanation made it clear that [White Supernova] could not be used frequently.
Incidentally, Alicia’s and Tirna’s breasts did not shrink as much.
According to Liliana, the extent of shrinkage was also subject to “noblesse oblige.”
The next moment, the figures of the four wavered like a heat haze, and when the wavering subsided, they had returned to their original forms.
No, their chests were a little emptier.
Meanwhile, Elise and the others, who had sustained near-fatal injuries, were healed by “Healing Magic,” but they were still unconscious.
What made me happiest was not losing any comrades.
And so, Zolgelge’s wicked scheme ended in failure.
“I… acknowledge Hal as the ‘Provisional Hero.’ Therefore—”
Amidst the joy of repelling the Undead army, Flame Car approached.
And Flame Car handed me a strange, iridescent pill. Being recognized as a ‘Provisional Hero’… what is this all about?
I was just doing my usual healing activities, but have more troublesome matters increased?
Could it be… Ly and the others went too far!?
“What is this?”
“This is… a divine medicine called ‘Narou Potion’.”
The pill Flame Car gave me was apparently called the divine medicine “Narou Potion.”
Holy Spirit Serena, who had been floating near me unnoticed, had her eyes wide with astonishment.
Since developing new medicines is her hobby, she must be interested in the divine medicine “Narou Potion.”
And the medicinal effects of the divine medicine “Narou Potion,” as described by Flame Car, lived up to its divine name.
Normally, it’s impossible to alter the composition of acquired skills.
For example, as I specialize in healing magic, I cannot use offensive magic, let alone imitate a warrior or a hero.
However, by taking the divine medicine “Narou Potion,” one can rewrite their desired skill composition, albeit with a one-hour time limit.
That said, since it rewrites existing skills, it would not demonstrate its true value unless one is exceptionally skilled in a particular area.
However, by taking this divine medicine “Narou Potion,” my long-feared lack of offensive power can be improved.
Flame Car’s secret mission, entrusted by God, was to bestow the divine medicine “Narou Potion” upon the appropriate person.
By the way, the appropriate person is an “isekai-tensei hero” of the “oku tusse” type.
I experienced “backwards reincarnation” with the memories of Lester the Cleric, but I am not from another world.
Is that why I am a “Provisional Hero”!?
Fiends’ thoughts are bizarre.
Meanwhile, the mansion where the fire had occurred had been successfully extinguished under the direct command of Former Viscount Marquis Bottox.
The beautiful garden was trampled and left in a state of utter devastation.
Although the mansion was extinguished, the window panes were broken, and the interior was in a mess due to the explosion.
And upon closer inspection, the roof tiles in the area with the most intense fire had fallen.
Extensive renovation work would be necessary to use it as a base of operations again.
“Ly-sama, and everyone. Thanks to you, we were able to narrowly escape the enemy’s attack, by the skin of our teeth. Still, where did those impure Undead… hide until now?”
Former Viscount Marquis Bottox offered his words of gratitude with a courteous demeanor.
His subordinates also had their share of injuries, but the number of deaths seemed to be significantly lower than anticipated.
Incidentally, the deceased were servants caught in the fire, and their charred bodies were beyond my ability to help.
“Elderly one, what are your plans now?”
“We have other hidden bases. Would you like to accompany us, Ly-sama?”
“We will wait for our injured to awaken and then head to the city of Karamiya. However, please proceed with the plan to have those people accompany us as arranged.”
“Ly-sama, we beg you, please allow us to accompany you.”
It was Garbador Yoitz Dela Noonheim and Nestella Yaggard who requested to accompany them again.
Although they were not seen during the battle with the Undead army, they had been on guard around the mansion, so they couldn’t join the circle.
Their clothes were dirty with soot, so they must have been helping with firefighting at the mansion.
“I want you two to escort Francine-onee-sama and the others who are staying behind. Besides, our enemies are non-humans… and it’s a heavy burden for ordinary knights… Do you understand?”
The fact that the escort targets included Princess Francine, Ly’s older half-sister, seemed to be a valid reason to back down.
As the mansion was flooded due to firefighting efforts, they decided to camp.
The next morning, the first of the injured to awaken was Shera.
“Ew… Fusing with Elise… I absolutely refuse~~~…”
This was a remark made before she woke up, suggesting that her clash with Elise had been a shock.
Furthermore, according to her words after waking up, the “potbelly” had good cushioning properties.
Shera then seriously pondered whether she could transform into a flying fox.
“Shera, do you want to fly? Like a flying squirrel, with membranes attached to your arms and legs?”
“It’s uncool…”
“Shera, wouldn’t it be possible to naturally use ‘levitation’ or ‘flight’ magic if the number of Sister Shera’s tails increased!?”
“Th-that… I hate it even more!”
While I was teasing Shera with wordplay, Freya woke up.
“I… I’m alive! How wonderful. But Elise explodes, doesn’t she? Then is ‘Pokkolise’ even more dangerous!?”
Freya seemed to have come to a conclusion on her own.
Meanwhile, Elise, who was the last to wake up, was muttering in her sleep. The sight of her mumbling made Shera’s lips curl upwards, and she wore an evil smile, no less wicked than that of a black Elise.
Her appearance was that of a true Demon King.
“Y-you useless fox! Useless fox! Noooooo~~~!”
After a while, Elise woke up, but at first glance, she appeared calm.
However, considering the fate of Elise and the others, I wondered if her heart had been deeply wounded.
“Elise, are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine, Hal-sama. However, thinking about revenge on Shera…”
“Eeeek! That was unavoidable, so it’s safe.”
“Elise, if you’re collecting fox tails, don’t forget mine.”
“Freya, I have something to say to you too, but it’s a promise.”
“My fox tail is mine!”
At first glance, it seemed like they had “returned to their old selves,” but perhaps something had changed.
Ly, who had resolved the current situation, was appointed as the Sub-Leader.
With this, the “Princess Harem” now has a two-person system consisting of Elise and Ly.
Then, we boarded two carriages and headed for the city of Karamiya.
There was no pursuit from Zolgelge at the moment, but we had to proceed with caution.
Before that, I entrusted Francine and eight others to Former Viscount Marquis Bottox, and I was struck by a sense of loneliness.
Come to think of it, I wonder if Sophie and Ilisha are doing well…
Furthermore, according to Francine’s explanation, the enemy’s target was us, and they were no longer interested in the now worthless Francine and her group.
Additionally, at the time of our parting, Elise was threatened by her sisters.
She was told not to try to restore the New Kingdom of Portland with her “potbelly.”
If she did, they would cut off their sisterly ties, and she should establish her own “Pokkoriland Kingdom.”
They also told her to change her name to “Pokkolise Lisha Um Pokkoriland.”
Elise, who had it rough, had tears in her eyes, but eating out was her life’s joy, so she probably wouldn’t stop.
