Chapter 2 Shu Zakuren
Part 1
Two red moons in a purple sky.
In the devastated land, strange architectural structures remained in a crumbling state, perhaps the remnants of a civilization that had perished.
And then.
Gaaaahhh!
A strange creature whose body was partly mechanical but whose entire form was that of a quadruped animal fought while letting out a roar.
Wooooooooooooonnn!
Moreover, the opponent was Night, who had been transported to this mysterious world.
The creature, which was at least ten times larger than Night, repeatedly tried to trample him with its front legs, but Night brilliantly dodged the attempts, and when he saw an opening, he attacked with his sharp claws and fangs, tearing at the monsters gray skin.
Gaaaaaaaah!
Considering its huge size, the damage from Nights attack was insignificant, but still, its body was slashed here and there, blue bodily fluids gushed out, and its body was gradually showing its limits.
Furthermore
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Ciels blue flaming body spun around at high speed and plunged into the monster, piercing it.
Guooooooo!
The monster, apparently reacting to being pierced, fell to its knees.
Night, Ciel, and the remaining Akatsuki
Buhii, fugo!
Woof
He shouted thoughtlessly from a short distance as if he was cheering them on. In other words, he did nothing.
While Night was dismayed by Akatsukis behavior, he braced himself and bit into the monsters neck, ripping out its throat.
Guaaaaaaaaaah!
The monster, which let out a particularly loud scream, seemed to struggle for a while but then became weaker and weaker until it finally died.
Then, the body of the fallen monster collapsed like sand and disappeared into the wind.
When the body was gone, a mysterious green shard appeared from inside.
The shard emitted a blinding light for a moment, then split into three pieces and flew to Night, Ciel, and Akatsuki.
Woof!
Pii!
Fugo! Buhi!
They panicked at the unexpected turn of events, but they could not avoid it, and the fragments disappeared as if melting into their bodies.
Night and the others quickly checked their own condition, and Akatsuki also activated his Sanctuary skill, but nothing unusual appeared in their bodies.
Woof?
The three animals looked at each other and tilted their heads.
Hours had passed since they arrived in this mysterious world.
The three of them had been wandering around, trying to somehow return to their original world, but they had been unable to find any clues, and the earlier battle with the monster and the appearance of the green shards were the first things that had happened to them.
Woof?
Pipi?
Fugo~
There was nothing wrong with their bodies for the time being, so Night and the others started to move again, looking for a clue.
Fortunately, they had been able to work without feeling hungry since they came to this world.
However, as soon as they started to move.
Grrrr
Pii.
Buhi?
Night felt the presence of a creature.
However, the only thing that could be sensed from its presence was hostility, and it didnt seem very friendly.
As soon as they were alerted, the space near Night and the others distorted, and something appeared from it.
It was a huge, single eye with tentacles wrapped around the eye.
This was also the first time they had seen such a monster, and not only Night but also Ciel began to be wary of it.
Night and the others were surprised by the sudden appearance of the monster.
The fact that it suddenly appeared where there had been no sign of the monster made Night wonder what caused it to appear.
For example, did it hear the sound of the battle with the monster earlier, or was it attracted by something that brought it here?
Then, the monster attacked Night and the others relentlessly.
Shururururu!
Woof!
Night and the others started to fight again.
At that time, they had no idea that such a battle would continue over and over again.
We defeated Whips.
Then Iris-san knelt down as if she had lost her strength.
Kuh
Iris-san!
I immediately ran to Iris-san and gave her my shoulder.
Im sorry. Ive lost a bit of my strength
Its okay! Thanks to Iris-san, we were able to defeat Whips. Besides, that attack you just used
Well I remember being completely absorbed, or rather very focused, but I didnt really notice much more than that
After hearing what Iris-san said, I was convinced.
After all, the attack that defeated Whips earlier was nothing more than an idle strike.
I reached that state through the direct instruction of Sage-san, but Iris-san reached it on her own.
While I was surprised by this, Meiko and Stella came over to me.
Master!
Nya~
Meiko and Stella! Thank you both for your hard work. Thanks to you, were all saved.
No problem at all! I wish I could have been more helpful
Nya, nya!
No, no, no, Meiko was a great help. So was Stella, of course.
Mostly thanks to Stella, I found out that if I had the Power of Existence, I could damage Whips, who was manipulating the Divine Power.
Without the two of them, I would have struggled more.
While I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a lovely sound.
I turned my eyes toward the sound and saw Iris-san with a bright red face.
That was
Im sorry I just got distracted
It seems that the extreme concentration of the fight made her hungry.
In addition, Iris-sans physical condition is still not perfect.
Well lets go home again.
B-but
Iris-san is probably not in perfect condition yet, so lets get a good rest and start again. Besides, Im hungry too.
Youre right.
After I managed to convince her, we went back to Sage-sans house.
Then Lexia-san and the others came to us.
Ara? Yuuya-sama, whats wrong?
Actually, we just fought the Whip Saint over there
What?
So they had already found this place.
Lunas expression looked serious.
Yes. But they couldnt break the barrier at Sage-sans house, so everything is fine.
That makes me realize even more that the barrier at that house is really something else.
Really The more you know, the more you understand the greatness of Sage-san.
More importantly, I used up a little too much energy in that fight, so I thought Id take a break. Im also hungry.
When I said that, Lexia-sans eyes lit up.
Ara! Then Ill cook for you
Eh? N-no, I mean, I cant even ask Lexia-san to cook for me
T-Thats right! Youre a princess, right? Just behave properly!
Why? Yuuya-sama is hungry, isnt he? Ill prepare a home-cooked meal
I said its okay!
Knowing Lexia-sans cooking skills, Luna and I kept eye contact and tried our best to suppress her anyway.
Then Meiko opened her mouth.
Im sorry, Lexia-sama. I thought I would do the cooking this time
Ara, Meiko? It is true that Meiko is a very good cook! If Meiko cooks, Ill give it to you!
Why are you acting so superior?
Somehow, we managed to avoid a situation where Lexia-san did the cooking.
When I was relieved about that, Meiko called me.
So, Master. May I use some of the ingredients from your kitchen when I cook?
Of course! Oh, by the way, Ill also put out the items in my Item Box that could be used as ingredients.
Are you sure?
Yes, its fine. It would be a waste if we didnt use them
There was a variety of food in my Item Box.
Since time froze in my Item Box, I tend to leave things there.
Besides, even in my daily meals, I usually only use products from the Earth, except for vegetables from Sage-sans garden
At this point, I thought it would be a good idea to have Meiko prepare them deliciously.
After putting the items from the Item Box in the kitchen, Meikos cooking began immediately.
While Meiko was cooking for us, we decided to exchange information about Whips and god soldiers.
Then Yuti, Kuuya-san, and Ouma-san came over.
Looks like you two had a nice fight.
Ouma-san! Did you notice?
Its hard not to notice when there are so many strong presences.
Hey, Luna. Did you notice?
How could I? We were in the house of this Earth, you know. Dont compare me with Ouma-sama.
Agreed. Its impossible to read the presence across worlds.
Well, detecting signs between worlds is quite difficult.
It seems that Ouma-sama and Kuuya-sama were the only ones who were aware of the attack by Whips and the others.
So what happened?
Actually, the Whip Saint came to Sage-sans house. We fought with her, but the Divine Power was more troublesome than I expected and numerous knight-like beings called god soldiers were summoned and attacked us.
God soldiers is another grand name, isnt it?
Yes, it is. But actually, as the name implies, they were like messengers of god.
As Iris-san said, I felt that they were god soldiers not only in appearance but also in power.
Most importantly, although it was very small, I could feel the Divine Power of the god soldier.
Fortunately, compared to the Whip Saint, the Divine Power of the god soldiers was so small that it was able to damage them even without the Power of Existence.
However, when it came to the level of the Whip Saint, we still needed to have either the Power of Existence or the Divine Authority to inflict damage.
After we eat, we will leave, but another Holy might come.
Well, dont worry about that. Im here too, and they cant get past Zenovis barrier.
Thats true.
Instead, you should worry about yourselves. You cant do anything if youre tired every time you fight the Holy.
Thats a shame.
Iris-san made a regretful expression.
Hmph. Well, but it was all right, wasnt it? You found out that the Divine Authority and the Power of Existence could work together before you fought the main culprit, didnt you?
Yes.
Ouma-san was right; in a way, it was a great help that Whips attacked us at this place.
If I had to fight Shu without knowing anything, I would have struggled even more than before.
While we were discussing such things, Lexia-sans eyes lit up.
That reminds me, Yuuya-sama! I havent been properly introduced to this child yet!
Nya?
When Lexia-san looked at Stella as she said this, Stella herself looked up for a moment but immediately started licking her fur as if she had lost interest.
Sure, Ive been wondering about her for a long time.
Affirmative. New family?
I had told them that Stella and I had met in between worlds, but I hadnt told them much about the rest, had I?
Yes. New family member, Stella.
Nya.
As I introduced her, Stella raised her hand slightly.
As I told you before, we met when I went to the between worlds. Well, I dont know exactly how we became a family, but
Even Yuuya doesnt understand I believe she was a Dimensional Cat, wasnt she? What in the world is that?
Even if you ask me, I cant answer.
I no longer cared what Stella was.
When I thought about it, Stella was kind to me from the moment we met.
But even though she had such a beautiful appearance, she had the same Power of Existence as Yin and the others, so much so that she was cast out of the world.
If you looked at her like that, shes just a cat with amazingly beautiful fur.
While I was thinking about that, Lexia-san continued in an excited tone.
It doesnt really matter! More importantly, can I pet her?
Well, um if its okay with Stella
Its okay, right?
Lexia-san asked with a snort.
Stella looked at her for a moment.
Nya.
But as if rejecting Lexia-san, she immediately turned her face away from her.
Seeing Stella like that, Lexia-sans eyes widened.
Wha-!
Hahaha! Give it up, Lexia. Apparently, she doesnt want to be touched by you?
What did you say?
Then Luna immediately started provoking Lexia-san as usual.
H-hmm Originally, Lexia-san was a princess, and Luna was her escort, so it would be disrespectful but the two of them really got along.
While I was thinking about them, Luna suddenly held out her hand to Stella.
Even if you cant, I will
Nya.
Smack.
Stella slapped Lunas hand away.
After a moment of silence, Lexia-san blurted out.
Pfft! Luna, you got rejected too!
Kuh! Hey, Stella! Let me pet you!
Irritated, Luna stretched out her hand again.
But
Nya!
Wha-?
Again, Stella slapped Lunas hand away.
After that, Luna reached out her hand to Stella as if to challenge her several times, but she was easily dodged or could not touch her properly.
