Kuishinbo Elf - CH 53

Escape

Rare Beast Corner.

My eyes remain closed and for the most part, I grasp the situation through sounds.

The situation … isn’t good. I feel like I’m being pushed back and Hermit crab-kun appears to be tired as it doesn’t sound like there is much momentum in his swing.

“Danan, are the smelly people still coming?”

“Their number had decreased by quite a bit, but they’re still coming. But, damn it’s bright!”

Deal with it. If I don’t glow, we’ll lose.

However, even I am starting to get tired. Isn’t shining ball’s cost efficiency quite bad~?

…Nn? It seems to sound noisy somewhere else. I move my ears up and down, trying to pick up the sounds. Lots of … footsteps. When I concentrate on the sound … a conversation? What is it? Did some adventurers came?

… Its heading towards this way!

The ones who had came in after scattering the smelly people are …

“El ! !”

“Fua! ? Ed! ?”

Why is it that Edward had came?

Oiiiii! The general had came out! What is happening! ?

“Yo … Your Highness! ? Why are you at a place like this! !”

Alp-ossan was also surprised. Well, you would be surprised, wouldn’t you?  I was also surprised and ended up making a stupid sound.

“Everyone! Are you okay! ? … Uwa, what is that! ?”

Folbert also came! ? Even Ganzurok! There are also so many more! !

“Disgusting!” “Disgusting!” “So dirty! !” “This is seriously laughable!”

Words of abuse came from the students. Doggie, you may cry now. And by the way, who was the one who said, “This is seriously laughable!” ! ?

“Vuooooooo! !”

You see! Because everyone said things like that, it got angry! Quickly apologize! Quickly! Quickly!

“Restrain it with magic!”

Following Ed’s command, the students invoked their magic at once. A tremendous amount of offensive magic. Rioto and Linda leaped out of the way … and came running towards us.

The numerous amount of magic bombarded the doggie. As expected, the doggie had to stop its movement. However … to finish it, that wasn’t enough.

“What … is that thing?”

Ed’s face clouded when he saw that the doggie appeared to had taken zero damage.

“Your Highness! Half-baked attacks doesn’t work on that guy! Furthermore … it learns from the attack and take up appropriate measures against them!”

The students started to stir. I was so surprised that I had stopped glowing. It is definitely not because I got tired, okay?

… Sorry, I actually was tired. (Trembling voice)

“So if we don’t take it down in one hit, it’ll learn. It seems that there is no other choice, but to bring it outside the mansion and settle this there. If it is outdoors, you should be able to use advanced magic right?”

Ed immediately thought of a measure.

“Yeah, about that … we won’t be able to go outside if we don’t hinder this guy.”

Hindering…

Nn? You said hindering it just now?

“I have a good idea.”

“The pitfall?”

That’s right, senpai! I will show you the pitfall that I had improved since that day!

I confronted the doggie. And then … I prostrated towards the doggie.

“E… El?”

Edward called out to me worryingly. Hey! I’m up to the good part right now so leave me alone!

“Sorry! I would do anything, so forgive us!”

I begged the doggie for forgiveness. Everyone stares at me worryingly….

I quickly took a glance at the doggie.

Apparently, it is slowly approaching with a face as if it had won. Does it have intelligence? However, that intelligence will cost you your life… ! !

When the doggie had came in front of me … the doggie’s forefoot sank into the ground and he fell forward into the pitfall. … Serves you right!

“Kuokuokuo…! You careless fellow … this is the improved pitfall. Enjoy you time in the quicksand!”

It’s not like I prostrated because I wanted to. That was a necessary action for me to use the improved version.

The original pitfall could’ve been made while standing, but …

It had the weakness of easily being spotted.

However, the improved version made to leaves a thin layer of the ground and dig under that thin layer, resulting it to be harder to spot. To leave the surface intact … in a natural looking way, I have to invoke the magic while touching the ground. Therefore, I prostrated.

If I did that, the doggie with intelligence will get cocky and get closer, thinking that it had won. That was what I thought when I acted, but … it fell for it perfectly.

And then, he was greeted by the refreshing sands. The you struggle … the deeper down you’d go. Fuhihi! Struggle … struggle as much as you want! ! (Evil Face)

“Now!”

Wa~! Hermit Crab-kun and us quickly retreated. The exhausted Linda rode on Hermit Crab-kun.

“Hermit Crab-kun is fast~!”

“Danan! Don’t lose!”

“Wha! ? Don’t be unreasonable! !”

I am getting carried by Danan on his back. Un, my legs are … damn slow. Excuse me!

“Edward-sama! The zombies had all been taken care of!”

We joined with silver drill on the way.

“Ou! Gluten … you appear to be perfectly fine!”

You guys had also came …

We also joined up with the mischievous three man group, Mafti, Gordon, and Bruton. We safely left the mansion … without losing a single person.

“El-chan! Welcome back!”

Oou … even Tanu-ko came! ? Being so reckless … (T.N. Tanu-ko is referring Preena, the tanuki/raccoon beastkin. She is a tanuki, hence being called tanu-ko.)

“Ah, I’m back, Preena.”

I’ll pat your head for you. “Ehehe…” While laughing, she closed her eyes as it felt pleasant. Yep, so cute…

“Everyone listen! After awhile, a monster will show up here! Alphonse-sensei will be defeating it with advance magic … we would be sealing the its movements!”

“OHHHHHHHHHH! !” Everyone raised a cry.

Uwa, my tension is also riiiiiiiising!

“El, you would be healing in the back.”

“Ahh, Gan-chan you meanie!”

And sure enough, I was sent somewhere else before I could cause anything.

Alp-ossan had started to construct his magic. It seems that even if you’re skilled a troublesome magic structure is needed for advance magic. If power is emphasized, the structure will be constructed in such a way. If speed is emphasized, the structure will be simplified. Of course, the power will drop.

Alp-ossan had chosen the former. It would take about 5 minutes … before the magic invokes.

Everyone swallowed their breath and waited. About 2 minutes later … that guy showed itself.

The mansion’s entire entrance was … destroyed!

“What … IS THAT! ?”

Someone raised a voice that is close to a scream. Well, anyone would.

What came out … wasn’t the doggie from before, but the tip of a incredibly large lump, a monster with a stupidly huge mouth attached. Due to its incredibly large body, its movements are slow, but we must not be careless because countless amount of tentacles are coming out of its body. And it is slowly coming towards me.

“It’s me again … why is it targeting me?”

“Isn’t it because you look soft and delicious?”

Rick … I will make you cry later.

“Kouhai, prepare for heal. Priority is given to those who injured their feet.”

“Understood.”

Instructions were given in my head. Now that it had come to this, the only thing I would be concentrating on is healing. And everything else … I could only leave it everyone else.

“It’s here! Battle start! ! Invoke the magics! !”

At Edward’s command, magics are simultaneously fired at the lump bastard. The magics continued to strike the lump bastard without a pause. However … it wasn’t able to stop it.

“Stop the bombardment! Then we will attack it directly! Let’s go! !”

Edward and the others held up their weapon and charged towards the lump bastard. The countless tentacles strikes back at them.

“Keh! I won’t be scared to fight something like this! !”

Ganzurok dodged the tentacles and delivered a blow to the lump bastard. Good job! Gan-chan! !

Everyone had started to divide into two groups. One that attacks the tentacle and the other one attacks the main body. Such coordination. These aren’t movements of seven year old kids … how dreadful.

2 minutes before magic invokes! Do you best … everyone! !
