Meena came to the southern sea at the request of the Emperor.
　It was because a large group of demons had appeared in the sea.

''How many enemies are there?''

'Yes, sir. There is one Kraken King, ten Kraken Generals, and a hundred regular Krackens. And about two thousand other fish demons.

　A naval admiral was standing next to her as she boarded the ship, answering questions.

'I suppose we could call it the Kraken's Army,'

　She understood why she'd been called up.
　The Empire's navy wasn't as strong as the army, but it would still be a no-brainer to at least slay pirates.
　The Kraken King, however, was the equivalent of the first class, and the Kraken General was the equivalent of the second class in strength.
　In order to eliminate them in the sea, you'll need to be strong enough to defeat the aliens.
　They alone would be a nuisance, but with Kraken Generals and even fish demons, there's no telling how much damage they'll cause.

''Did you have any warning signs?''

Ha. The local fishermen say they had a hint of the Kraken coming, but this is the first time the Kraken King has been here.

...... I see.

　Meena thinks it might be a new move by the enemy forces.
　I wonder if the imperial army, which is unbeatable in land battles, has thought about how to fight under the sea.
　It's not a bad way to look at it.

(Is it only Val-sama, me and Sidonier who can fight an underwater opponent?)

　When it comes to long-range attacks, even underwater, there are few who can meet the requirements, even Yagami Akira.
　In fact, Giselhair also meets the requirements, but Meena has not included him.

''Let's get this over with right away.

Yes, sir.

　Meena is in a bad mood and the marines are frightened.
　Her bad mood was only due to the fact that she was spending less time with Val, but they couldn't tell.
　Many of them mistakenly thought that she was unhappy to be called out by a bunch of Krakens.
　The fact that she would be able to get it over with immediately would have been taken as a big statement if she wasn't Yagamiaki.
　As the boat carrying her went out to sea, a huge red squid appeared with a large amount of bubbles and loud sounds.

'A Kraken King?'

Yes, ...... human.

Talked?

　Meena sighs as the marines gasp in surprise.

'A demon called a king can usually talk. Haven't you learned that much?'

I'm sorry.

　She was tempted to click her tongue at the embarrassingly apologetic Admiral, but she weighed herself with Val's face in her brain.

'Then take this opportunity to remember that.

　Then he turns to the Kraken.

"The Kraken. Under what circumstances do you threaten us, Kraken?　If you go back to your home town maturely, you won't have to go through any pain. Leave sooner rather than later.

　It was a warning she issued.
　It was an imitation of Bal that she was so caustic and belligerent, so beautiful in appearance that she could be compared to jewelry and art.
　You don't have to kill each other if you can solve the problem by talking.
　Val's ideas were difficult for her to understand, but at the same time, she wanted to respect them as much as possible.
　Besides, the emperor's request was to get rid of the demons.
　Getting rid of them through conversation would not be a violation of the order.

"You decide what you want to do with your domain. We are here to deny it and to punish you for your hubris. Raining blood, despair and sobbing, ask for forgiveness.

　What came back from the Kraken King was unmistakable wariness and hostility.
　The general soldiers shuddered under the pressure, and the Admiral swallowed a raw spit.

'All right,'

　Meena's response was short-lived.

'If you want to see blood rain so badly, I'll let it rain. I'll rain your blood.

"Mean Elf!　Remember our power!

　The Kraken King shook its tentacles violently and sent a large amount of water splashing.
　It seems that this was the order, and the demons began to move forward all at once.
　However, after advancing about a meter or so, they stopped moving.

''What are you doing!　Move on!

　The Kraken King, unsure of what is happening, gives the order with an angry voice.
　But the demons are not moving.
　If you look closely, you'll see that they're trying to move forward, but they're struggling to move an inch.　

'Phew ...... you fool!'

　Meena said, and raised her supple right hand in a neat upward motion.
　At the same time, all the demons except the Kraken King are dragged out onto the sea.

''Hi, hi ...... na, what, what's going on?''

What? I just used wind magic to bind and lift him up.

　Meena explained, not to the Kraken King, but to the stunned soldiers on his side nearby.

'Nah, I see. ......'

　The soldiers said so, but were not convinced.

(How far is it from here?)　(...... If you wanted to restrain that many demons, you'd need hundreds of sorcerers from the Ministry of Magic!

　The Admiral thinks.
　By simple calculation, Meena is the strength of several hundred of the Empire's best sorcerers.
　And it doesn't look like she's serious about it in the slightest.

''The [Roaring Flame Formation]

　With her voice, a huge wall of fire arose and burned up all the demons except the Kraken King.

'That's ritual magic. ......

'Ritual magic is the kind of thing that takes dozens of top-notch magicians to activate over a period of days, right?　Isn't that just offensive magic from Lady Vilhemina?

''How is it possible that a single mere attack sorcery is stronger than a ritual sorcery that takes dozens of people: ......?

It's possible, that's why Lady Vilhemina is a Levitein.

　The soldiers on their side were amazed at Meena's overwhelming strength and had enough time to converse with her.
　Not so for the Kraken King who has become the enemy.

'Hihihi,'

　He finally understood that he had made an enemy of someone he shouldn't have made an enemy of.

'Ta, help me, help me because I was wrong, and the fight won't lead to anything!

　Desperately slippery, but Meena's mind was unmoved.

'What are you insinuating?　I suppose battles breed tragedy and misery.

　She cut down coldly.
　'You'll be the next victim,' the Kraken King intuited, as his emerald eyes said, 'You'll be the next victim.

'Ka, I'm leaving!　I swear I'll never bother you guys again!

'He who changes his attitude when he sees the power of the enemy, will change his attitude again when he thinks the strong enemy is gone. You will die here and now.

　Without moving a single eyebrow at the enemy's pitiful vocal plea, Meena burns the Kraken King to death.



　The soldiers have some idea of why the Emperor sent Meena.
　The admiral notices, but says something else, for he cannot put it into words.

'I have often said that conflict only occurs on the same level. It's as if you can unilaterally execute the guilty person with overwhelming strength ...... that's why Lady Vilhemina is called the "Goddess of Absolution".

　His words, filled with a great deal of feeling, penetrated the hearts of the soldiers.
