Manowa

◎ Reisan City, Sesu Inn, Room on 2nd Floor

「Sorry. Sorry for being like this despite even becoming a king.」

「No, I think it's good that Tatsuyoshi-kun hasn't changed.」

In front of Tatsuyoshi, who was very depressed, Kazane replied like that with a wry smile. Yumika's words were a blade that cut through the heart of Tatsuyoshi Copy even though he was supposed to be just a Navigator. As expected of a woman who harbored a katana in her body. She was terrifyingly sharp.

『It's a normal room.』

Tatsuo, who was on top of Kazane's head, said that while looking around.

This place was the innermost room of Sesu Inn's second floor. Kazane came to this room after paying Shirley's father, the innkeeper, for one night's lodging. Tatsuyoshi Copy was also looking at the room they entered with great interest.

「The building has been rebuilt and become bigger since the time I was here, and the rooms are cleaner as well.」

「Well, Tatsuyoshi-kun was here 600 years ago.」

Tatsuyoshi was at this inn with Mintia a long, long time ago. It was strange that the inn was even still around, which wasn't caused by anything Tatsuyoshi Copy had done. Even if the inn had gone out of business, the Transfer Quest would have started once they reached the right coordinates.

『Mm, even if it required coercion, the inn should have been preserved.』

「That's unreasonable, Grandfather. This is Minshiana, and in the first place, Mintia-sama's childhood period is a secret, so this place mustn't become known.」

Mefirus and Tiara, who were together with them, talked about that. Behind them, Yuuko-nee was crying「Nyaa.」

The inn's room wasn't especially large, so the other companions were currently waiting in the dining room. Incidentally, around this time, they were smacking their lips after ordering peach tart, the inn's specialty. Kazane also wanted to turn back and eat right away, but she was controlling herself right now. She planned to gobble it up when she came back.

「Now then, Kazane. I'm going to open the door to the preparation field. Once you've entered inside and finished preparing, you'll soar to the battlefield. My masterpiece is there.」contemporary romance

「Yeah. Koromi Alternative・White School Swimsuit Edition, wasn't it? That isn't the Heroic Spirit Koromi, right?」

Kazane's online play was in a party centered around Tatsuyoshi's character, Koromi. So she knew about Tatsuyoshi's Heroic Spirit Koromi. Just like how Tatsuyoshi knew about Heroic Spirit Sieg and Heroic Spirit Yuuke.

Also, based on how she was equipped in Zexiaharts, Tatsuyoshi's character Koromi should be wearing a navy blue school swimsuit. After that question, Tatsuyoshi nodded to affirm Kazane's words.

「Yeah, she's different. Heroic Spirits have a short summoning time and a long cooldown for resummoning, right? So in place of that partner, Koromi Alternative is an always-active automaton made using Puppeteer skills. She hasn't reached Level 300, but thanks to various adjustments, she was made as something that probably can't be beaten by even a max level character.」

Kazane reacted to those words. Kazane had been pursuing Puppeteer skills since long ago. And she thought that Tatsuyoshi Copy might know something about Puppeteers.

「I heard the Puppeteer Skill is currently lost though?」

「Yeah. So to be precise, Koromi Alternative is a Golem. There was a player who recreated the movements of a Puppeteer. After I discovered that person's control method, I made Koromi Alternative and incorporated it.」

「Ehhh, I want that.」

After Kazane's words, Tatsuyoshi Copy made an apologetic expression.

「It's a book I found during my travels. It was stolen during a conflict, so I don't have it. It's not in Tsuvara either. So I'm sorry, but I can't help you.」

「Hmm. Well, just the fact that a book may exist is valuable information.」

Kazane had also tried to reproduce Puppeteer movements with Golem Maker, but she failed. If there was a book by someone who tried the same thing as her but succeeded, she definitely wanted to read it.

「I wonder if I can find one at a place like the auction in Sorcery Kingdom Amoria?」

「I found mine at a rare item auction, so that might be possible.」

After Tatsuyoshi Copy's words, Kazane replied「I see」and lowered Tatsuo onto a table placed there.

「Well then, I'm going, so open the door, Tatsuyoshi-kun.」

『Do your best, Mother, Yuuko-nee!』

After Tatsuo clenched his fist and cheered, Kazane and Yuuko-nee nodded.

And the moment Tatsuyoshi Copy raised his hand, a door appeared in the center of the room. That was the entrance to the Transfer Quest Field. Passing through the gate, Kazane and Yuuko-nee headed to the preparation field.

◎ Transfer Quest Preparation Field

「Ah, nostalgic.」

The place Kazane landed in with a thud was a strange space surrounded with blue wireframes. Here, a player would make preparations and arrangements before challenging the Guardian.

ーBegin transfer to battlefield?ー

A Window was open in front of her. If she pressed the『yes』button, Kazane would immediately fly to the battlefield. Naturally, she would only press it once she was prepared, so she ignored it for now. And Kazane pondered.

(First of all, I was told not to use my Heroic Spirit, so shall I give that a pass?)

With the battles against the devils in Uumin and the East Dragon Village in mind, Kazane intended to preserve her Heroic Spirit from the start.

(In the end, Sieg and Jinrai-san are the only fighters who can immediately handle top-ranking devils.)

Just as Kazane thought, only Heroic Spirit Sieg and Jinrai could respond immediately if they were suddenly attacked by devils.

Due to the possibility of getting her companions involved, her second character was out of the question, so the only others with any chance of victory would be Kazane in Rokuten-kun's Ashura King Mode, Yumika with her『Deepening』Skill, and Tiara's Ruby Griffon.

Also, the reason the devil Age could only steal the『Heroic Spirit Ring』in Uumin City was due to the game's specification that if one steals a high rarity item, they can't steal anything else. In this case, even if her Heroic Spirit Ring was stolen, that would also shut down the opponent's『Steal』Skill.

Taking all this into account, Kazane concluded that it was essential to preserve『Heroic Spirit Sieg』unless she was in a hopeless situation.

「Now then, let's start with Berserk Ogre and his subordinates.」

Then Kazane summoned the Berserk Ogre and 23 Dark Ogres.

The Berserk Ogre spread his white wings wide and shouted as he summoned a club with protruding black dragon claws. Buried in his chest was the Magic Life Stone he obtained at ​​Auriol Sea, which had increased the power of the Berserk Ogre.

(Close combat is essential. Increase the number of actions and attack all at once to destroy.)

While thinking that, Kazane took Black Muscle Minos, Rokuten-kun, the Holy Skull Legion equipped with the Holy Bardiche, and Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon equipped with an Adamantium spear out of her large storage space.

Hippomaru-kun wouldn't participate this time due to its bad condition. Repairs by Master were urgently required.

「Well now, it's been a long time since I used this in actual battle.」

Then, Kazane boarded Rokuten-kun. Kazane said that it had been a long time since she had used it in actual combat, but to put it concretely, she hadn't used it since her battle against Gilbert in Uumin City, which was nearly two months ago.

(Well, my abilities have improved, though)

Although it hadn't been used in actual combat, Kazane had repeatedly had mock battles against Jinrai during their daily early morning training. As a result, her piloting skills were much better than before.

With Kazane housed inside, Rokuten-kun started transforming from『Dairokuten Maou Mode』to『Ashura King Mode』. Black Rock Dragon fangs grew from its head as horns and the iron plate covering its face came off to reveal the Supreme Ruler's Mask; when it was over, a six-armed golden giant with outspread black wings, its entire body clad in crimson flames and a rainbow aurora, was standing there. In its hands were the Dairokuten Maou Odachi, Zanbato『Decapitation』, and four Nobunaga style Red Crystal Odachis. Draghorn Tonfas were attached to both its feet.

That figure was precisely that of the existence『Devil King Asura Kazanerian』announced by oracle.

「Well then, Yuuko-nee. Use Dragonization with『Warrior's Memory』set as your Skill. This time, you're permitted to use Breath as well.」

「Nyaaaaaa!!」

Along with that cry, a 9 meter crystal-covered golden dragon appeared behind Kazane.

Yuuko-nee's capability for prolonged fighting in dragon form had been greatly increased by the Magic Accumulator Choker. In the past, one Breath would have drained Yuuko-nee's Magic Power and swiftly caused Dragonization's cancellation, but her Magic Power was now brimming up to the point that that was no longer an issue.

「And then, Skill『Golden Dusk』, lend to Yuuko-nee!」

『Nyaaaa!』

Through Kazane's Skill activation, a golden sword appeared in the hands of the golden dragon Yuuko-nee. The Skill『Golden Dusk』was exclusive to Kazane, but she was able to lend the summoned weapon. Yuuko-nee's own golden radiance was amplified by『Golden Dusk』, making her shine even brighter.

Furthermore, Kazane applied『Red Body Transformation』to herself and connected everyone with『Information Link』.

And altogether, there was a force with a golden dragon, four giants, and 23 black Ogres. That was Kazane's current full strength.

ーBegin transfer to battlefield?ー

「Press『Yes』!」

With her preparations finished, Kazane pressed the button on the Window, and the surrounding wireframe wall split open. And the battlefield started appearing.

「Ooh, this is amazing」

Then Kazane let out a voice of admiration.

It was a familiar sight for Kazane.

Rows of huge buildings and overlapping layers of roads splitting and merging together. There were even multiple randomly placed explosive objects called『cars』on those roads.

It was『Skyscraper Field』, a special Field within Zexiaharts. It was a battlefield based on the cities in Kazane's world, which were impossible in Zexiaharts.

Kazane and the others were currently standing in that special Field lined with buildings. And in front of them...

『Come now; I will kill Onii-chan's enemies.』

Saying that was an expressionless little girl with light blue hair wearing a white school swimsuit. Though if that was all, even that would still be cute, but naturally, that wasn't all.

Her right arm had a gigantic rail cannon, her left arm had a huge bundle of countless metal cylinders, and furthermore, she was flying in the sky with a red backpack on that had ten missile launchers connected to it.

That was a weapon in the shape of a little girl.
