And now, the customary festival?
Thanks to Kurarin’s Shining☆Butt Thunder, most of the Shamcats' people had fainted.
However, the one with the Great Pointed Hat spoke: "You must reverse your thinking."
Our allies were either unconscious or writhing in agony, but the Great Tsunami had also completely stopped. Since most of them were wolf-types, it seemed they had either passed out or were left incapacitated.
This was our chance. If we were going to take them down, now was the time!! Well done, Kurarin! Let’s finish them off!!
“Valkyrie! Rosie-kun! Double Cannon Mode!!”
“Rosariiin!!”
“Should I be shouting ‘Rosariiin’ too?”
“No need! Niisama, Rinka, Mary, Pochi! Channel your ice magic into Valkyrie and Rosie-kun!”
Between Valkyrie and Rosie-kun, a massive energy cannon materialized. Even as they groaned from the lingering stench, the boys' eyes sparkled with excitement as they cheered. Boys sure do love flashy weapons and heavy artillery, huh? Well, it wasn’t gunpowder-based—it fired magical projectiles instead.
[Roger that!]Rinka, Mary, and probably Pochi, who must have learned from Mary, responded.
“What the heck is that… pfft.”
“… That’s actually kinda nice.”
My brother was trembling, trying to hold in his laughter, and Rosie-kun looked like he was on the verge of calling "Rosarinja" from now on.
“Stop calling me Rosarinja! Magic charging, start! 50, 60… 90… Full charge!!”
I compressed the magic, turning it into a powerful magical bullet. This time, I would do it much better than before! My brother took over the compression while I used the Circlet of Wisdom to calculate the most effective firing position.
“Absolute Zero Bullet!! Fire!!”
“Rosariiin!!”
“Rosariiinjaaa!!”
“Rosie-kuuuun!?”
Why the heck are you shouting "Rosarinja"!?
The glowing blue magic bullet hit the center of the Great Tsunami, freezing most of it solid. Even if they had ice resistance, being completely frozen meant suffocation and certain death. The attack wiped out the majority of the Great Tsunami. But more importantly—Rosie-kun.
“In moments like these, you gotta sync up your battle cries. Anyway, that was an impressive freeze. Was there a reason you didn’t use all attributes?”
Hearing Rosie-kun’s question, I looked down.
“… I made a mistake when I was seven.”
“A mistake?”
“Yes… A huge mistake I can never take back.”
“Rosarin?”
My brother looked concerned, but depending on what I said next, I could be in for a lecture. Still, I had been lamenting this for so long!
“If I use all attributes, the monsters get so burnt, disintegrated, or flattened that they become inedible after we defeat them!! That precious, precious food!! If I had preserved that meat back then, it could have been sent as emergency supplies to so many hungry fluffy ones!! But I will not make the same mistake again! By freezing them like this, not only can we defeat them, but we can also store the meat! It’s a perfect two-in-one solution! I’m such a perfect wife candidate!!”
“… Rosie-kun… I always knew my little sister was a genius-level fool…”
“Yeah… I never really understood why people called her the Meat Saintess, but now I see it’s an incredibly accurate title…”
“Wait, what!? Are you subtly—no, outright insulting me!?”
“Ah! More importantly, the ones we missed are starting to move again!”
I wanted to complain about "more importantly," but dealing with the remaining monsters took priority. I activated the Circlet of Wisdom for enemy detection. Sure enough, the monsters were trying to flee. If they scattered, things would get messy! The nearby villages and towns could be in danger!
I immediately sent a communication to inform Dirk, Nex, and the others, who had already moved to a nearby town.
“The first strike landed! Most of the Great Tsunami is frozen! All units, begin extermination!!”
[Roger that!!]Seriously, you don’t have to answer like that!!
By the way, Dirk and Nex had apparently been outside the range of Kurarin’s Shining☆Butt Thunder and escaped its effects. Lucky them. That thing was seriously brutal.
“Alright, let’s have a competition! How many can we take down? And to all the castle soldiers!! The more you hunt, the more meat you get to eat!! Meat, meat, meat!!”
I meant it as a morale booster, but “meat” turned out to be a trigger word.
[Muscle meat meat! Rosariiin!!] [Meat meat muscle! Rosariiinnnn!!]And once again, the Meat Rosa chant began. Worse, everyone was staring at me with hopeful eyes, eager for a meat festival.
“Aaaaah, why does this always happen!?”
Fine! I’ll take my frustration out on the Great Tsunami!
“Valkyrie! Wyvern Mode!”
“Rosariiin!!”
“AHAHAHAHA!! SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!! LET THE MEAT JUICES FLOW!!”
Chugging down mana recovery potions, I hopped onto Valkyrie in Wyvern Mode and rampaged like never before. My brother, Dirk, and Rinka were yelling something at me, but I was too irritated and the battlefield was too noisy to hear them.
Needless to say, I ended up with the highest kill count.
What do you think about this chapter?
