Vol 2 Chapter 25 (2/2)

If I didn't do so quickly, we'd drown before the ene to us

”——!”

Ilya was still trying hard to separate the tentacle from my arm

I also didn't feel like dying, but the bigger er I'd expose Ilya to

But it would still be foolish to shoot Thunder here, under water

It , but I really didn't want to electrify myself

But the longer I hesitated, the more time went to waste

The tentacles dragged us towards the hugeat the bottom of the monster's belly

coolden cuttlefish were carnivores, weren't they?

Apparently I was cal so unimportant

Well, I could only test it in a situation leaving no room for failure, but I wasn't unable to do it

I had grasped the sensation

And I had no intention of obediently beco squid food

”——”

I tapped Ilya, as still grappling with the tentacle around my arm, on the shoulder and shook my head

And with my free arm, I pointed above

——surface before me

It should have gotten across

Ilya was gri her head, but no, no

I'on

I gave Ilya a serious look

She looked perplexed, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she strongly nodded and began rising to the surface

Alright

Now I only had to

”——NGG!”

Hurts!

Certainly there was no time to waste on composure

I grabbed the tentacle wrapped around ht hand

I had liin with

The first culture shock that had overturned that had been that ic of Till's

A single idea held a bunch of possibilities

So I'll show you what I can do with it! Eat that!

”——”

I activated ht hand and directly poured it into my enemies body

A cornered rat with bite that cat

The ed under my attack

But regulating it was still difficult for me

But that could be my homework in the future

Like it was throwing o of

”Ng, ng!!”

crapcrap!

The uish suddenly doubled

Quickly!

The surface! Quickllly!

”Haaaah!”

I broke through the water surface with speed and sucked the air into th

Just how delicious can air be!

”Alice-sama!” Ilya called out to me in relief and swam over

Alright, next!

”Ilya, grab on to me!

”Eh? O-okay!”

She didn't seem to understand my plan, but it's wonderful hoell she could respond to changing situations

And your body feels wonderful, too Ilya

Nono!

The monster wasn't defeated yet, so if we stayed here we'd only repeat what happened earlier

And there was no guarantee that the ent the next time it attacked

In that case——I'd jump all the way to the shore!

”Watch ic! Till!!”

I suddenly challenged my mentor

Putting ic

——that being said, of course I couldn't do minute adjustments

We just had to fly all the way to the shore!

”——this is?”

Ilya peeked at the light of ht hand full of interest

It slowly got stronger and——

”GOOO!”

Like it was exploding, it turned into propulsive power

Fro out of the water

With rather ah the sky towards the land with our tent

”T-this is a!”

”Right!? Right!?”

Although to be exact, we'd only been thrown into the air

”Do you know of the electric jellyfish?”

”Jellyfish?”

”Well, don't mind, then”

It had been quite the repellent force

Ilya cocked her head with just a bit of wonderment

And then, she looked like so had clicked for her

”Eh to land?”

The air seemed to freeze

The very hard-looking ground came closer and closer

crap, at this rate it's a direct course to minced meat for us!

I could try the saht now, I decided to go with a better bet

Right, I decided to call for my final trump

I'd decided to do so since the beginning, okay?

With a composed smile on my face, I looked at Ilya

”I leave that to you, Ilya”

”Hehe Yes, Milady”

Changing our posture, she held otten completely used to by now

Our high erous, so I laid ht

And then, our eyes inadvertently met

There was nothing artificial about it

And Ilya somehow felt closer to me than before

”———”

While ere caught in each other's eyes, Ilya broke into a little smile

Then she whispered soht

That was what she had done against the Ice Dragon?

I looked down, and there was the ground

”!”

As expected, I stiffened

But

Contrary to

Although we had landed with a momentum

Or I should rather say, we had crashed

Usually, we'd had enough momentum to end up dead for sure

Was it thanks to the green membrane?

In fact, the ground had been gouged out a few ht orb around us

”Are you alright? Milady?”

”Y-yes just surprised”

In this world, people don't die when they fall from the sky

I learn so new every day

The green light disappeared and I had Ilya put me down

And not a second later, water rose by the lake shore and the squid showed itself

”And here I went out of my way to let you off!”

If it wanted it that way, I wouldn't go easy

This time the tentacles didn't coh the air to smash us to pieces

Ilya stepped forward and stopped them cold

”——Split the heavens and becoht, to strike my enemies! Thunder!”

With chanted ht hand, I pierced the squid

The reaction was enough

Like foam, the squid melted and disappeared

There was a drop item

——Squid Ink

”what natural enemies does it have in a lake?”

The

”——well done, stupid disciple”

So like that, soht

The thoughts of theto end from the skies above the lake

The two people who had dried the a friendly chat while warh

”Now then, time for one to sleep for real”

With a long yawn, she begandown the stairs

Suddenly, she looked at her own ic

”One's own reenhorn”

Contrary to her words, her heart was elated

”Hive her if she can't raise the proficiency to 99 by ”

Those exceedingly happy words disappeared into the night sky
