Chapter 60: butterfly
Hot daet another totally awesoht caain in that same old black dimension
”I shall grant you a new Protection”
“Yes, thank you very much, Ruinhilde-sama!”
So if you can, please sparethis was also a same old repetition
”Chaos It is not a thing that merely exists as phenomena”
Ah, he’s started another one of those incoain To be perfectly honest, even if he goes all deep and profound ononna hurt or not, so none of the talk is actually entering my head, you know?
But well, I’ll try hearing him out as best as I can I hope he’s OK with that
”Put two people together, and they’re either friends and foes With three, one vies to take a position of neutrality, or even opportune for the winning side The situation complicates as you add more In other words, chaos ensues”
Ruinhilde-sarandly spread out his arms, as he spoke deeply on the nature of chaos And out of nowhere, brilliant lights burst forth Frohts danced like a storm of cherry blossoms
Red, blue, yellow, green These lights flickered in a myriad of colors— no, not quite They were butterflies With black-lined wings like those of the black stail, these critters flapped about each with their own color Hundreds, thousands of these glittering butterflies were dancing and, I see, this really is an illusory scene worthy of being called a miracle of God
”Mine devotee, Momokawa Kotarou As you are still ofdeep into chaos Lose yourself, be immersed, and set yourself adrift, if not Hmm, at any rate, you did well”
“I, I see… wai-, Buwah!?”
As I wondered if what this God was saying is that I’athered butterflies in the darkness rushed towards me all at once Are you stupid, do I look like a floith delicious nectars inside! I didn’t think so!
“Uh, Uuh, FuwaaaAAAAAAAAA—”
Sed into the stor Out from the God Area
Contrbeat butterfly: Using medicines, create a butterfly that releases the opposite effect with it’s scales
With this new curse in hand, the Worst Hareurated as its sub-leader, entered once again into the dungeon
It need not be said that the at us was really bad None of us showed it on our faces, but none could deny that the air was dangerously close to its boiling point
Nevertheless, our progress itself was going alright It’s because Class Rep, who I ood leader, took her position seriously, so ere able to fight as a team somewhat OK There were a few places where her decisions felt a bit off, but they weren’t anything big, so I generally ith it
If we could survive thanks to her orders, then I had no qualms The only time I did speak up would be e encountered ene
Right, for example, like that powerful Mantis from before— The Note Circle has since updated to let us know that it’s known as a Knight Mantis— and like that time when 2 of those appeared at once
“Class Rep, let’s get Mei-chan up front”
“But then, the rearguard—”
“Givesets in There’s two of those Mantes this tiret it”
“Kotarou-kun, everything alright?”
“It’s fine, the last junction was a few hundred et Ants frouys can take out even one of those Mantes in that time, we’ll win easy”
“Got it, then, I’ll be right back!”
Leaving behind a bright sale as she rushed off to battle up ahead
As of currently, our usual foruard, Class Rep and Souma Sakura in the middle, withthe rear To speak of what’s different froe coht direction I’d say Also, we’ve had Mei-chan stationed with us, so the defense back here has improved too
All of these changes were things I suggested before heading out Class Rep asked a few questions about ht away after I answered
It was a tough decision taking Mei-chan away froer of a pincer attack At any rate, it was necessary to putinto account the current circumstances between Mei-chan and Kenzaki Anyway, Kenzaki’ll fight better if we put her only with Natsukawsan This also takes into account that we need to put her Dualwielder skills to full use
“Rotten Bog— and done Alright Class Rep, Kenzaki-san and Natsukaill take on one of the Mantes, you and Souot Me and Mei-chan will stop the other one”
“Can you two handle it?”
“We can slow it down In that tiuys have to beat yours quick!”
“ You don’t, need to tell us”
“Got’cha!”
Souave out an earnest reply Kenzaki-san didn’t say anything, but she probably understands the plan
“That’s how it is, so Kenzaki-san, don’t be late okay?”
“O-of course Just, leave it to me”
Facing the Mantes, Mei-chan as shoehorned into the vanguard, spoke to Kenzaki with a smile To which the latter replied with a shakey voice Yup, we definitely can’t put her and Mei-chan together any time soon
Aside fros on the matter, it’d be much better to split the work between me and Mei-chan, and the Souma team
“— Guys, they’re here!!”
Natsukaho possessed the Thief’s enhanced hearing, clearly deciphered the position of the Mantes by the beat of their wings echoing inside the cave and announced that their arrival was upon us It’s because we had her excellent perception that I could hand out orders and even had spare tiy
Now, all that’s left was the fight itself With our current collective strength, we should be able to take on 2 Mantes at the saic here too
