Chapter 267

(267) Greater Spirit versus Greater Spirit

Translator: Tseirp

That was dangerous .

I wonder what would have happened if I remained in there .

“My World!”

I chanted and returned to My World before closing the door .

“Master, you defeated … it doesn’t seem like you did . Did you run away?”

Neete who was waiting there asked .

“Yeah, it’s impossible to defeat it through ordinary means . ”

“I figured . Running away is the correct choice . The Dark-Elves have organized themselves into squads but I think it is better if they are not deployed . ”

“Well, we should take our time and wait here until the spirit leaves to somewhere and we can just return to our journey . Or we could meet up with Haru and the others by transferring to Florence?”

“No, I have something I want to try so we can do that after . ”

I said as I took off my s.h.i.+rt and pants down to only my underwear left .

Upon doing so, Neete’s face turned red and she said shyly .

” … Okay, I am ready any time . ”

“No! Don’t misunderstand . ”

I said before jumping into the sea .

I dove as deep as I could .

Here — this should be deep enough?

Suddenly, I reached the limits of my breath .

“BoBe BeBurn (Home Return)!”

I cast the magic while I was about to drown and was somehow able to return to land .

That was a little dangerous .

“Eh? Master, what are you doing?”

Even though it only seemed like I dove into the water and returned, Neete must have felt I had done something strange .

What did I do?

“I did something that might make Pionia angry . ”

“It might anger Pionia-Oneesan?”

Yeah, the s.h.i.+pyard case was kind of negligence on my part but this time, it was 100% my responsibility .

“Hn? Master, the water level is decreasing?”

“Of course, since I opened a large hole at the bottom of the sea . ”

I wiped my body with a towel and used that towel to cover Neete’s eyes before changing my underwear as well .

“I see, you opened a hole — eh?”

“Since I couldn’t get the Salamander into the sea, I figured I’ll try pouring sea water onto the Salamander . What do you think? About this brain play . ”

“Uwah, Pionia-Oneesan will definitely be angry . She mentioned that she finally increased the number of good condition seaweed on the floor of the sea so she was preparing to increase the number of fishes . ”

“I’ll apologize to Pionia . It was actually Sheena No . 3 who planted the seaweed too . ”

The water level had reduced to half so I figured it was about time and closed the door to My World before opening it in front of me .

“Wait, master . I will exit first . ”

“Ha? Why?”

“Just to be careful . Don’t exit if I do not return, Master . ”

I felt that it would be all right though .

In light of Neete’s feelings, I chose to keep my words to myself .

Neete crossed the door after it opened .

Then, Neete returned immediately .

“Master, everything is fine for now . ”

For now?

I exited without knowing the meaning behind those words .

“This is amazing — the sea has become lukewarm water . ”

Steam was rising here and there .

But I couldn’t sense the presence of the Fire Spirit .

Then, the Salamander was —

“Swimming . ”

“It looks like I did not defeat it . ”

However, that should still have had the effect of weakening it .

And one other thing .

【Ichinojo leveled up】

“All right, I leveled up . ”

“Did you defeat the Salamander?”

“No, I didn’t defeat the Salamander . The Salamander fell into what seemed to be a Sand Wyrm nest . That ruin apparently had Sand Wyrms in it and they probably suffocated and died . ”

【Ice Magician skill: 「Ice Magic III」has ranked up to「Ice Magic IV」】

【Thunder Magician skill: 「Thunder Magic III」has ranked up to「Thunder Magic IV」】

All right, Ice Magic leveled up .

In that case, I guess I’ll push myself to end it .

I leave the rest to you, Setolance-sama!

I checked the magic I learned from the magic list .

“Boost Diamond Dust!”

The maximum strength Ice Magic I cast became a snowstorm that wrapped around the Salamander .

Then — before I knew it, a huge iceberg formed .

In spite of that, the Salamander was still moving its limbs within the ice .

“Hahaha, the Salamander is not bad, it can’t be defeated even with this . I can no longer move . ”

Crack gradually formed on the ice .

“Should we run?”

“No, it is doused in water and trapped in an iceberg — Setolance-sama will do something about it . ”

Just as I was thinking about it, a strange firebird flew into the iceberg and swallowed the Salamander .

I could somewhat tell .

That was Setolance-sama’s Great Spirit kin .

A Greater Fire Spirit consumed a Greater Fire Spirit — such a miracle happened .

『Thank you, Ichinosuke-kun . 』

I heard Setolance-sama’s voice .

“No no, don’t mention it . Will I receive any rewards? Although Marquis Yutings told me I could have any rewards I want . ”

『Let me see, what about this? In recognition of your hard work, I will not question your decision to bring the Dark-Elves into My World and subsequently releasing the seal on the Salamander . 』

” … Hahaha, thank you very much . ”

Perhaps the G.o.ddess-samas would have been incredibly angry if I didn’t do anything about the Salamander .

I’m glad I fought seriously .

“What are you doing, Neete?”

“No well, my Master is seriously cool . I fell in love with you once more . ”

“Yeah, falling in love once more is fine but what are you actually doing . ”

Neete had stolen my lips as I lay on the ground .

a.s.saulting me while I’m down — Eh,

” … Eh?”

Strange, the sense of fatigue I felt until just now was gone .

“I returned a little of Master’s magical power . With this, you are able to move a little, right?”

“Ah … yeah, thanks . You could do something like that?”

“About that much . Next time, please return double of that . ”

Neete raised two fingers and proposed .

“Ah, all right . Now then, let’s go back . ”

Thus, my big adventurer in the Princ.i.p.ality of Nicplan came to a close .
