Thinking about this while looking around the vicinity, Yumina suddenly comes to a halt.
[……It seems those children have found them. Ah, however there’s somewhat a lot of them. There’s seven of them]
[Seven of them…what shall we do? The request is five]
Elsie smacks her gauntlets together.
[I think we better exterminate them in one go. If one of them escapes there’s a chance that it will call for more companions]
I also agree with Lindsey’s idea. It’s possible that there’s more than seven of them. I think we should strike while we can.
[Yumina, can you lure the king apes over here?]
[It’s possible but…what are you going to do?]
[I’ll lay a trap. If it’s just something like a pitfall trap then I can do it immediately with earth magic]
I make several pitfall traps with earth magic, then we hide in the shadow of a tree. Before long gogaaaa! They, shouting roars together, chasing after Yumina’s wolves, several great apes make an appearance
They’re slightly larger than gorillas with long fangs. Apes with sharp pointed ears, bright red eyes, and a ferocious expression while chasing after the wolves.
Just before the pitfalls disguised on the ground, the wolves make a great jump and leap over the traps. Without even doubting to think, the great apes plunges straight ahead and falls into the trap magnificently.
[Gogaoo!?]
[Now!]
Me, Yae and Elsie jump out of the tree’s shadow. Three fell into the trap. They’re buried in the ground chest deep, somehow struggling to crawl out.
Soon an arrow silently stick into the eye of one of them. Yumina huh. From the blind spot of the great ape that lost the eye, Yae assaults forward and severs the carotid artery of the neck.
[Come forth flame, Whirling spiral, Firestorm]
A tornado of flame which Lindsey called attacks the other two caught in the trap. The two of them are charred in no time, me and Lindsey gives finishing blows to the weakened king apes.
Without having time to catch our breath, the remaining four appear from the depths of the forest. Approaching towards us, raising roars and thumping the ground while swinging their giant thick arms.
[Slip!]
[Ugaa!?]
The forceful momentum of the one vanguard charging towards us falls down due to my magic. Arrows fired in succession and pierced the great ape that fell down. Lastly, Yae jumped onto its chest and using her falling weight stabbed with her sword, the great ape stops its movement.
[Boost!]
Elsie who activated her body strengthening magic plunged onto the stomach of the next king ape then dealt heavy blows on its abdomen continuously. It couldn’t endure her blows and just like that Yumina’s wolves began to attack the great ape that fell down.
Two remaining.
[Come forth lightning, lightning spear of the white lotus, Thunder spear!]
[Come forth flame, flaming spear of the crimson lotus, Fire spear!]
Yumina and Lindsey fired their magic. A wind attribute and a fire attribute, the two magic spears pierced the chest of the two great apes.
GugogaaAa! They yelled in their last moments and the two fell.
Ooh, amazing. Is the skill in magic the same level as Lindsey?. Which means that in terms of the six attribute magic types it’s higher than me? Advanced magic, especially attack magic that is not easily acquired. I’m quite good with light magic though.
All seven of the king apes were defeated. With this the battle ends huh. It’s good that it was cleared easier than I thought.
The five wolves jumps into Yumina’s shadow and disappear.
[Err, How was, I?]
What Yumina is saying is probably along the lines of did I pull everyone down. Frankly speaking, far from being a burden she was a great help. I didn’t think that something like covering fire was so effective.
[I see no problem speaking of ability]
[Your magic too is quite something, desu]
[Likewise, the rear support is helpful degozaru na]
They give comments on Yumina’s ability affirming their recognition one after another. Although I agree……even so, to somehow let a 12 year old child to go through that danger…..Hmm.
The girl continues staring at me who is lost in thought with an anxious look. Those eyes are foul play…….could it be this child doesn’t understand right?
[……Please take care of us from now on ne, Yumina]
[Yes! Please leave it to me! Touya-san!]
Yumina embraces me with a face overflowing with a smile. Wai, please save me from that! Everyone is watching!
I pull her off somehow and we start gathering the confirmed fang parts of the king apes.
[However, When Yumina joined us four I’m the only male huh…..]
I breath a small sigh.
[Is there a problem?]
Lindsey looks puzzled. Being unaware is also a problem.
[The three of you might not notice but, I stand out at places like the guild…and the gazes towards me are painful]
[? Why degozaru?]
[That’s because if someone was surrounded by girls you’d get jealous too. Because Elsie, Lindsey and Yae are especially cute]
They all stiffen. What? Did I say something strange? If there was a guy surrounded by cute girls, you will ‘tsk’ if you’re a male.
[A, again, what are you saying, Touya. Stop joking, saying something like I’m cute…]
[Eh, what is?]
[ [ [ ……… ] ] ]
Why is everyone’s face turning red?
[T, Then, l, let’s return!]
[…T, that’s right, onee-chan!]
[L, let’s return degozaru yo!]
The three move into the forest rapidly at a quick pace. What’s with that…….
The sleeves of my coat were pulled a few times.
[Touya-san, What about me? Am I cute?]
[? You are cute I think…?]
[Ehehe]
Yumina embraces me again while wearing an embarrassed grin. Like I said, stop that! After that, we return to carriage, activate gate then returned to Leaflet.
At any rate, summoning magic huh….I still haven’t touched the dark attribute yet. Firstly, because of the lizardman that I saw, somehow my image is bad.
If there was also that kind of animal system, I’ll try contracting at least one. Next time, shall I get Yumina to teach me?
