Because Janitor-san Is Not a Hero - Chapter 7 Magical Beast
The child magical beast eyes chases after the form of its parent; it head franticly sways about.
It eagerly wants to join in.
Kurando also has a similar expression.
However, deep down, he thought it was impossible.
He did not understanding the circ.u.mstances. And, not once did he consider throwing himself into the battle.
It was not a situation he understood; Kurando could merely lament in his helplessness.
Kurando is aware that he is feeling sympathy for the magical beast. But, his feeling are misplaced. There is a war between people and magical beasts. He fixed his gaze onto the scene once more; it was as if something important was stolen from him and he couldnt let it go.
Kurando knew he is feeling sympathy for the magical beast, but he wants to shout why must they fight, and stop fighting.
From yesterday evening leading up to today, Kurando couldnt comprehend what was going on. These series of events only added to his confusion. Kurando morals conflicted with his beliefs.
While looking for answers, his line of sight begins to wander.
When Iruniiku is shouted out, the parent magical beast had jumped away. The rush attack mow down and freezes everything in range.
The giant-man switched his attention to the group in white armor; he gives orders to those with bows to shoot a volley of arrows, those with an axe to sever its limbs, and the technique users to burn it with fire.
The scene unfolding is a perfect depiction of war.
Kurando wanted to think, this is all a dream.
It truly did look like an unreal dream.
Meow!
The child magical beast cried out as if to cheer on the parent magical beast as its tail thrash about against Kurandos arm. At least that is how Kurando views its behavior. The child didnt noticed Kurandos existence.
This is not a dream.
No matter how much he wishes for it this c.r.a.p-fest will continue.
From the garbage in j.a.pan to the garbage here; nothing has changed this reality will continue.
Its good to look at reality because only then will you truly understand things.
Kurando gazes at the back of the child magical beast before looking back towards the battle.
He feels the warmth of the sun and see the endless blue sky stretching into the horizon.
The parent magical beast Iruniiku breaks free from the ice, but is then caught in their line of fire. Spears and arrows rain down; it narrowly slips through the volley. The parent knocks away the surrounding enemies who are wielding a s.h.i.+eld and escapes harm.
However, its snow coating in places had dissolved and the re-coating effects had become weaken.
It tries to buy time for its snow coating to recharge. The parent decided its prey will be the red cane wielder. Iruniiku the parent magical beast put power into its hindlegs.
But, unexpectedly its hind legs had betrayed it; its thighs gave way, and it falls to the ground.
The giant-man used a loud voice to motivate the the surrounding people whose posture had slack due to fatigue. His reason, to strike the parent magical beast Iruniiku before it can get to its feet. While the beast is staggering, this is the best time to attack before it can withdraw.
At that time, before anyone became aware, the technique user was replaced. The red cane wielder had retreated and the other cane wielder pick up the slack. The giant-man gave the signal; they threw their spears at the parent magical beast Iruniiku and a cane is planted into the ground.
A pale violet light erupted.
The explosive screams of the thunder spirits can be heard.
Kurando could hear the echo as it made its way down the opposite side of the mountain.
Although, this place had become the field of the thunder spirits to cast the magic they didnt make use of the thunder spirits that are fluttering around the vicinity.
There are thunder spirits in the cane.
Kurando can sense the thunder spirits in the field stirring about. However the attack merely delayed the judgment of the parent magical beast Iruniiku. The next action is quickly readied.
The pale violet lightning opens and is released. A single point breaks through the sphere. With its hind legs it tries to kicks away from the earths surface.
But, stumble. It trips over its own legs.
Its reflexive attempt was fruitless. The lightning had pierced it and then dissipated.
No one had dared to move until the light had became calm.
The technique user from moments ago clings onto one of the vanguard who is holding a s.h.i.+eld. Iruniiku the parent magical beast stays vigilant.
In the smoky steam, the parent magical beast Iruniiku is standing there unmoving in an upright posture.
Slowly, it turns its head to face the mountain; its gaze seemed distance.
Guooorah
With one mighty roar the blue sky faded away.
Although Kurando was hesitant at first, he sympathy with the beast and determined that its voice is indeed valiant; his sorrow and bitterness left him.
Having used up the last of its strength the beast crumbles to the ground.
For just a bit, the giant-man admitted they were lucky.
This time they were a little bit lucky. They were fortunate that the parent magical beast Iruniiku had stumbled in succession; it had stopped moving and gave them the opportunity for the lightning to pierce its body.
In the surround area there are no more traces of thunder spirits. Perhaps, the magic cane had helplessly absorbed the thunder spirits. But before that, the snow coating that the parent used is a physicsmagic barrier made of thin ice; or, at least that is what Kurando thought. He worried that they were going to tarnish Iruniikus honor by striping away its fur.
The 4 vanguard and the giant-man stood up and broke formation. Except for the giant-man, the other 7 were completely exhausted; they were barely able to stand.
If the 2 technique users had not switch out in interval there could have been 1 or 2 losses. That is what Kurando believes.
It was quite possible for them to have been defeated. The giant-man broadly similes.
Before the sun had approached mid-day, 8 people had thought up a plan to divide the spoils.
A Blizzard Leopard, The White Phantom of Arerudouria () Mountain that was the name theIruniiku goesby. In the past it wasnt hunted. Perhaps because of its age being too young.
Or, perhaps the giant-man left it alone for so long for it to bare an offspring. Although, it is too soon to say for sure. While a.n.a.lyzing the technique user, Kurando mind begins to wander.
Kurando stops thinking about the giant-man. Iruniikus corpse is being turned into a lump of ice.
Alright, time to fly.
Before Kurando knew it, the giant-man had removed the upper half of his clothe and had carried the frozen Iruniiku on his shoulders.
With his bulging muscles he threw it in a straight line to bottom of the mountain, towards the gra.s.sy plains.
The 4 technique users made their way through the mountain.
The object that was thrown, somehow, it had worked out smoothly.
3 days after there was a snow storm; it was like waking up to a bad dream. The circ.u.mstance couldnt be helped. They had to put into consideration the game they are carrying; they changed their marching speed so things would go according to schedule. But, not everyone thought the situation was a laughing matter. Their opinions varied.
Before the arrival of the snow storm there were a lots of ice spirits. The 4 skillful technique users had of course strengthen the giant-mans physical strength.
The big man with his upper torso exposed, smiled with a child-like expression.
