for Advance Chapter
The next day, the trip went smoothly. I wasted time by having casual conversations with Kazuma and getting intimate with him. Then, in the evening...
"Okay, you can swallow it!"
"Hmm... hmm..."
It happened as I was swallowing Kazuma's semen, savoring it.
"Enemy attack! Escorts capable of aerial attacks, rush forward immediately!"
Along with the shouting, the surrounding area became noisy. It was probably a monster attack.
"Kazuma-san, should we go too?"
"You idiot, we're just guests. Besides, if we leave them alone, the guards will fight off all the monsters."
Kazuma said with a haughty look on his face. That's certainly true, but...
I obediently waited in the carriage for a while, but the noise and shouts around us were getting louder and louder.
"Kazuma-san, I think the two from yesterday are still fighting. Aren't you going to help them?"
"Yunyun, it's best to have a once-in-a-lifetime relationship with the people you meet on your travels. You never know what their future holds!"
Even as he said this, Kazuma kept glancing out the window at the view outside. He's an easy-to-understand person.
"Why don't you just go outside and see what's going on?"
"Well, I guess I'll do that much. If the enemy comes this way, I'll run away!"
"Yes, yes."
I took Kazuma, who seemed to have no choice, outside. Merchants, passengers, and escorting adventurers were all bustling about nearby.
"We'll go undercover and scout. Let's go."
"yes!"
I clung to Kazuma's outstretched hand. We then made our way quietly, hiding through the commotion, until we arrived near the front lines of the merchant caravan that had become the battlefield. There, adventurers were firing arrows and magic into the air.
"Oh, they're doing it, they're doing it..."
"Hmm, Kazuma-san, it looks like we're being attacked by some troublesome monsters."
"Do you know, Yunyun?"
"Yes, look at that."
As I explained, I pointed my hand at the monsters gliding in the sky. They were fairly large bird-like monsters, several dozen of them flying in formation. Now, several of them swooped down and dropped the filth. A small explosion occurred at the point of impact, blowing a group of adventurers nearby into the air. They didn't seem to be dead...
"That's the B-52 Albatross, a nasty enemy that drops explosive poop and bombs!"
"Yes, yes, the droppings are exploding. This world is full of monsters like this."
Kazuma muttered as he picked his nose with his finger, "It's dirty, please stop." I then pointed at a monster flying leisurely above the albatross.
"Plus, that giant ray-like thing is the B-2 Manta Ray, a flying monster that's also good at bombing!"
"I see."
"How do we defeat them? Manta rays in particular are difficult monsters to hunt, even for advanced adventurers. If things continue like this, there's a risk that the entire merchant caravan will be wiped out..."
"Okay, let's start again with the accelerator. 'Terrify...'"
"Whaa ...
I quickly stopped Kazuma's chant. Let's go and help him out!
"Yunyun, I don't really care if the other passengers die in the explosion."
"Kazuma-san! We are adventurers who are called heroes! Let's try a little harder!"
"Hmph! I'm just a brute, so it has nothing to do with me!"
"Are you sulking? Are you sulking, Kazuma-san?!"
"noisy"
"Ouch! Enough!"
I sighed, holding my head where Kazuma had hit me. This person is also a child...
While we were messing around, the escorting adventurers gradually retreated.
"Retreat! Teeeesh!"
"Abandon the cargo! Let's get away!"
"Whoa! They're diving again! Concentrate your arrows and magical anti-aircraft fire on them!"
"Requesting air support!"
"No!"
"I can't die in a place like this, let's retreat!"
Then, a horse-drawn carriage parked nearby was blown up by a B-52 albatross bombing. This really seems like it's all over. If we continue fighting to retreat like this, there may be casualties.
"Kazuma-san, I'll go."
"Hey you! Are you even listening to me? I'm telling you to retreat!"
I stared at Kazuma, who was angry as he said this. After spending a few months together, I got to know what kind of person Kazuma was. Kazuma is a cruel and despicable person. But I know him. In reality, he is a kind and caring person. He says he wants to run away, but I think that's not what he really thinks.
"Kazuma-san, Kazuma-san."
"Ah!? What is it?"
"I'm scared to fight alone. Will you fight with me?"
I looked at Kazuma with a pleading look in my eyes, casually holding him in my arms, and my eyes welled up with tears.
Kazuma then looked at me and replied with a guilty look on his face.
"Well, I can't help it! Yunyun is useless without me!"
"Hehe, that's right, I can't do without Kazuma by my side."
I agree with what Aqua said before. Kazuma is so easy to fool.
"So, what are you going to do? Have you come up with some kind of sneaky plan?"
"You idiot, there's no such thing as cowardice or bullshit. I'll go with my party's sure-fire winning pattern. In other words, I'll cause confusion and then unleash maximum firepower while they're at it. Simple and good, right?"
"But I don't have the firepower that Megumin has."
"That's true, but Yunyun has enough firepower and maneuverability to kill the enemy. I think we can do it."
I was a little worried, but Kazuma said he could do it. So let's do it!
"Okay! For now, let's join up with the guys who are retreating!"
"Huh? You're not going to fight?"
"Just come on!"
We then moved a little further back from the front lines. There were many guards there, guiding people to safety and carrying large amounts of luggage from the merchants. Kazuma suddenly shouted in front of them.
"Hey you things, listeneeeeee!"
Kazuma's loud voice caused everyone around to turn towards me. Then, Kazuma stood next to me...
"I know who this person is! I humbly bid you welcome, it is none other than the skilled archwizard, Yunyun-sama, the hero who defeated the Demon King!"
When the people around me heard Kazuma's voice, they all started staring at me. I felt a bit embarrassed.
"That's the... hero!"
"Yunyun, is that Lady Yunyun?"
"Look, his eyes are red, it's a Crimson Demon!"
"Seriously! That's one of those crazy Crimson Demons!"
"The one who bears the blue lightning, Yunyun!"
Wait a moment. Since when have the entire Crimson Demon Clan been called crazy? And why has that nickname become so popular...?
"Now, Yunyun. Introduce yourself."
Kazuma-san whispered that to me. Wh-What, did you say your name...?!
I looked around again. Everyone was looking at me with a look of expectation. I wondered why. My blood was boiling. All right, all right! I'll do it!
I chanted a spell, fluttered the green cloak I was wearing, raised my short staff, stood on one leg, and announced my name!
"My name is Yunyun! I am the Archwizard and the one who defeated the Demon King...!"
Ah, everyone is staring at me! I don't know why, but it feels so good! Then, I glanced at Kazuma...
"The Crimson Demon Clan's greatest magic user, and one who will eventually become Kazuma's partner!"
As I announced my name, lightning bolts scattered all around me. Perfect, perfect!
"Woooooooooo! We can win, we can win!"
"Hero is with us! We can do it!"
"That's right! Follow the heroes!"
"Wow..."
It seems like the morale of the people around me has risen. Was this what Kazuma was aiming for?
Then Kazuma turned bright red and stared at me.
"What are you talking about in the confusion?!"
"It's fine isn't it?"
"F-Fuck!"
Kazuma turned away. Oh, that was easy. Then Kazuma stepped forward as if to run away.
"Hey you guys! Now, Yunyun-sama will use her super amazing magic to blow away those damn monsters! We'll buy you time to chant! Anyone who can attack from the air, follow me!"
"Yes! I'll provide some cover with my bow!"
"I'll do my best as a wizard too!"
As they shouted, the rangers and wizards gathered around Kazuma.
"And to all the frontline workers who can't attack from above! You must protect Lady Yunyun with your lives!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Don't underestimate me, Crusader!"
Crusaders and knights have also gathered around me. I feel very reassured.
"Alright! Let's go, guys! Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Hurrah for Lady Yunyun!"
"урааааааааа!!"
The surrounding adventurers followed Kazuma and started running. There was no turning back now. They had to cast magic with all their might!
And so we reached the front lines, where, bombarded as they were, the courageous adventurers still held out.
"Okay, Yunyun! Fire your spell! We'll target the surrounding dung birds! Gather as much hate as possible towards us!"
"""roger that!"""
Kazuma and the others began firing spells and arrows. I also chanted a spell I was familiar with. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an explosion occur where Kazuma and the others had been. But I didn't get upset. I'll leave that to Kazuma.
"Cursed Lightning!"
And then I unleashed my magic. A bolt of lightning shot out of my wand, engulfing the albatross and hitting the giant manta ray in the stomach.
"Did you do it?!"
One of the Crusaders nearby shouted, "No, no! If you say that..."
"Shit! He's still alive!"
"Even the hero can't win?! It's all over!"
As expected, it seems I couldn't defeat it. My magic scorched part of the Manta Ray, but it wasn't enough to cause a fatal injury. I have to hurry and cast the next spell!
At that moment, I heard Kazuma yelling. I reflexively turned my head in the direction of the voice.
"Yunyun! Unleash a powerful spell with maximum firepower! Just focus on chanting! We'll buy you time, so go all out!"
Kazuma yelled, his body burned all over and covered in bird droppings. Kazuma was buying me time. In that case, I had to work harder too! I concentrated and began chanting.
"The melody that flows down from the heavenly organ..."
"Directly above the enemy plane! Dive! Protect Lady Yunyun with all your might!"
"Snipe! Snipe! Yunyun, keep going!"
Bombing began not only around Kazuma and his friends, but also around me. It seemed that the Manta Ray had been enraged by the previous blow. Kazuma and his friends were able to take down the diving B-52 Albatross. However, the B-2 Manta Ray drifted slowly at high altitude and dropped explosives from its mouth.
Some of the attacks were intercepted with magic, but some seemed to land near me. However, the surrounding frontline warriors used their bodies as shields to hold back the attacks and protect me from the blast.
"The terrible and ancient thunder..."
Amidst the bombings and shouts, the incantation was complete. All that was left to do was fire. I aimed my staff at the B-2 Manta Ray flying through the sky and activated it.
"Brutish Bolt!"
The blue lightning I unleashed burned the surrounding B-52 Albatrosses to death, then transformed into a thunder dragon and pierced the B-2 Manta Ray. After a blue flash lit up the surrounding area, the Manta Ray, its body charred black, lost all power and crashed to the ground.
"We're going to crash! Evacuate!"
"If it crashes, surround it and kill it!"
After that, it was a one-sided battle.
"Hmm..."
"Kazuma, are you awake?"
Kazuma woke up on my lap. I gently stroked his lazy cheek.
"Hey, did I pass out at some point?"
"That's right. It's because he was being reckless. Even though his own body was in tatters, he went around casting healing magic on other injured people."
"That's fine..."
Saying this, Kazuma got up from my lap and began touching his own body as if to check it out.
"The priests in the escort squad healed most of Kazuma's wounds."
"I see, but I guess I won't be able to fully recover like Aqua."
Kazuma stretched, his neck crackling, then picked up a cloak that was folded nearby and stared at it.
"What's wrong, Kazuma?"
"Well, the cloak that Yunyun picked out for me got all tattered..."
Kazuma looks a little sad. I wonder if he treasures the cloak as much as I treasure the ring. If so, I'm really happy.
"Kazuma-san, please lend me that."
"Hmm? Here you go."
I took the tattered cloak and forced Kazuma to wear it.
"What's the matter, wearing that tattered cloak makes me look shabby..."
"What are you talking about, Kazuma-san? It's the opposite! A dirty and tattered cloak is cooler!"
Kazuma looked devastated by what I said. But I think this is common sense. A dirty cloak is proof that you have survived a fierce battle.
"I, I see... it's cool..."
"Yes, it's cool!"
Hearing what I said, Kazuma nodded in satisfaction, then put his hands on his hips, leaned back, and let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha! I'm Kazuma the hero after all! Of course it's cool!"
"That's right! Kazuma is the coolest guy in the world!"
"Of course!"
I thought this as I hugged Kazuma, who was laughing loudly.
Kazuma, you're really an easy person.
