I ate dinner and then logged in. The time was just about up, so I decided to take a bath before bed.

Everyone was gathered downstairs. Then we decided on the members of the attack team. It went like this.

Tact: Setia, Love Fire, Kazuki, Black Iron, and Darley.
Luke: Govrina Archer
Tyrol: The Good Fox
Fierce Wind: Fairy
Al: Firebird.
Takuma: Fireworks and good foxes
Aroma: Angel, Good Fox
June: Shiba Inu's Cerian Beast
Unat: Serian Beast, the tortoiseshell cat
Maya: Dragon Newt of Earth
Naoto: Druryard.
Date: Dwarf

Then I explain my plan and we move through the warp gate.

When I enter the square, there are no changes to the enemy members. The enemy attack begins.

But unlike last time, Sand Ant attacks Black Iron, who is provoking me.

Aroma, Jun, and Yunato are supporting Kuro-iron with recovery and buffs.

The Sand Ant swarming the black iron is then burned by the good foxes. The other players also prepare for fire magic.

''Rune Arts!''

"Rune magic!

I seal the Queen and King's martial arts. The Japanese fox sealed the Bishop's magic.

''Tact-san, they've completed setting the trap!
I did it too!
Me too.

I'm ready. I get on the Darley that Love Fire is riding and put away my staff and hold my spear. Then a line of coordination is generated with Darley.

''Linkage!''

Darley's fire on my spear. Luke directs Govrina Archer to Arrow Rain, and Luke the ant uses the provocation in unison.

Now!

We charge at the queen.

Ari's rooks recognize this and try to defend themselves with their shields, but they fall into a pit. It's an earthen dragon Newt, a driad, and a dwarf trap placement skill.

That clears the way for them! The Knight holds up his shield, but the shield pierces through and closes in on the Queen.

But my spear is defended by the king's shield, which protects the queen. The King's shield is different from the Knight's, after all...

But it's within the plan. The love fire behind me jumps over the King and slashes at the Queen.

''Abominable fire!　Yah!

But the Queen defends against Love Fire's attack by crossing the spear in her upper arm. King takes an extra look at the Queen in a pinch. While there, Darley kicks in and blasts King.

'Pile bunker!'

"Fire shower!

I shoot [Pile Bunker] at the Queen's stomach, but the Queen crosses the spear in her lower arm and defends.

Behind me, Luke and the others chant a fire shower, but the fire shower is defended by Ali's Luke and Knight's provocation.

It's the only way to do it... at this moment, I'm sure of victory.

An arrow hits the Queen's face and explodes. It's Setia's magic arrow. As the attack hit, the strength of the arm was weakened and the love fire cut the Queen in two, and the Queen was engulfed in flames and knocked down.

Okay, now we have a winner. I thought so, but I wasn't naive.

The King screamed and the other ants screamed in unison, the color changing to red. He looks like he's angry because he's beaten the Queen.

I wish I hadn't used my trump card and won. I can't strengthen this number of reinforcements in a stone...

"Wufu, beastify!
Fireworks, pseudo-dragonize!

'Yes!　Beastification!
Let's go!　Pseudo-dragonization!

White and silver fire blows out from the Japanese fox, and a giant fox with beautiful pure white fur and five tails appears from within the giant white flames.

Is that the trump card of the Shrine Beast! That's a beautiful fox. Status.

Four over 100 starters... oh, man.

"No more or less!　Let's go!

The Japanese fox takes a breath.

'Shrinebreath!'

A silvery white flame is unleashed. Luke the ant defends himself with his shield, but the shield is extinguished. Goodbye, Luke.

More silver and white flames are released from five more tails, and above, the sand ants on the wall are burned.

In the meantime, the pseudo-dragonized Fireworks arrived. She insisted on defeating the King, so I decided to leave it to her.

I'll take the bishop, who can't use magic...

"Foxmanship!　Shrinetail!

The Japanese fox's tail turned into white and silver fire, and the Knight and Bishop were calmed down and killed.

That's when the beastliness of the Japanese fox is released. We went to the Japanese fox and found him there, turned into a child.

'Tact-han!　Love fire!　Ugh, look at me~

Hey, sis!　Cute!　It's lovely!

'Love fire!　Bear with me~...I'm not feeling very strong right now.

The love fire that flirts with you without regard to that. That's pretty funny.

''Dragon technique!　Dragonclaw!

Are we done? As I looked at it, Hanabi-chan was fighting with King's sword, and to my surprise, Hanabi-chan was pushed down.

Seriously... this red color enhancement... could this be a pseudo-dragonization level enhancement?

Hey, somebody!　Cover the fireworks!

At Takuma's request, Luke and the others try to cover him, but Drago Newt of Earth stops them.

'Don't mess with Drago Newt's fight,'

I agree. This is the fight Hanabi wanted. If you mess with this, I'm going to get mad at you for sure.

Maybe so, but...

And little Hanabi is not stupid. Here, watch him.

Hanabi exhales and clenches her fist. Now, the final blow... how do you hit it?

Hanabi closes the gap between them. The King swings his sword at me.

He ducks it and closes the gap even more. King's shield isn't working in time. That's what I'm going to do.

"Dragon technique!　Dragonclaw!

The King gets knocked down. Then came the info.

''Your level of sealing magic has reached 10. You have acquired the sealing magic [Rune Magic].''

Takuma approached Hanabi-chan as the battle cry went up.

'Well done!　Fireworks!

Takuma... you didn't believe I won...

'What?　No, I believed it, okay?

'I heard it all!　Stupid!

See? I'm in trouble. I don't know. We're taking apart the building while Takuma is pissed off. A rock from Sandosto. The others were iron weapons. The only thing different was the queen.

Queen Sand Ant Eggs: Rare Level 4 Food Item Quality D
Eggs laid by queen sand ants. High in protein and nutritional value.

Queen Sand Ant Ant's Ants Nectar: Rare Level 4 Food Item Quality D
Food made by Queen Sand Ant to raise their children. It's high in protein, nutritious and very sweet.

Does this taste good? I have some resistance... after a rock-paper-scissors game, I got some queen sand ant nectar. I think I've seen on TV that there are desert ants that collect honey, and that they are surprisingly tasty.

As soon as I got it, I tried it.

'Oh!　Delicious!

Okay. Of course you'll give me that, right?

Tact!　I want one too!

Let me lick my hair.

Yes, yes. Everyone will be happy if you give it to everyone who worked hard.

"Jee~

A gaze attack from another summoner. I can't give it away for free, as it were.

''If you want it, ask your master to buy it for you in Lieprich.

What?

Luke and the rest of the group are being pestered all at once.

'Nah, by the way, Mr. Tact...what's the price?'

I'll decide with Mr. Lewin, but it's new material, so it'll probably be expensive.

Of course!

Only me and Ruin-san will know which one will get more money, the cost of weapons or the cost of anthill honey.
