Thankfully, the kids believed me and reassured me.

'This is Ryota, no problem with the kids. Come in whenever you want.

　And then there was a tremor of about 3 on the Richter scale. It's relatively short, but I think it's scary for a first time child.

'Scary, right?　The bad guys' place is shaking many times more than this one, surely they're shitting themselves?

　The children are surprisingly robust and are excited to be called "little". Isn't this bad for education?

　Then the window flower sent me the images. First, a crack appeared on the promontory that jutted out into the sea, and then it collapsed all at once from there, and the entire base that was built on top of it sank into the sea.

　The goggles displayed [E1 (Enemy 1) Annihilation].

　Next, the base near the beach was enveloped by seawater like slime at a pinpoint, and the people inside were taken to the sea floor as it was.

　E2 (Enemy 2) Extermination] was displayed on the goggles.

　Eh, it's so nasty........
　I can't show this to my children.

It's my turn. I'll show you the secrets of the dwarves' ancient art of increasing firepower.

　I wouldn't want to see it if I could.
　You're gonna do bad stuff, right?
　Like a war movie!

　The location is the base of the group that held Khalia captive. At first glance it looks like an abandoned suburb, but it's packed with scum. They trapped the group of illegal drugs in that red jar.

　They disguised themselves as snitches with a throwaway text, [The people who took the drugs are on the outskirts of the city. Smoke is a landmark] and led them in. Then the group of illegal drugs found the rallied underbelly and the red pot.

　As a result, they attacked the people who stole the drugs, mistaking them for the group that kidnapped Kalilia. Furthermore, the group that kidnapped Karilia was mistaken for a tickler. Well, there are no buildings in the neighborhood, and even if they go on a rampage, there is no damage to the town....

　........no?
　I sincerely hope not.

　Now, the live drone coverage of the window flowers has begun.

　Manya is waving a net full of packages at high speed. Inside is a group of grenade warheads. The steel threaded net is spinning at high speed with Manya on its axis in the manner of a hammer thrower. The net is so thick that it's impossible to predict how many warheads are crammed into it.

It's a good thing that you're able to find out how many warheads are packed. The explosive pressure is more than 100 times greater and the heat level is unknown. It will be blown clean and crispy, huh?''

　....more than 100 times the blast pressure?
　Heat level unknown?
　Is that gonna be enough for Anya?

　Miss Windowflower!
　Obviously, it's excessive!


Everybody, listen up for a second. There is going to be a lot of lightning, a lot of noise and a lot of lightning. But it is absolutely safe here. If you are really afraid of it, the old man will be there for you.

　The younger team is pulled down at once, but they manage to hold on with physical strengthening. In the video, Manya finally throws a net at the site of the tickler. And then [Snap! I snapped my fingers and all the fuses were lit.

　

　So, the warhead of the example grenade, but it popped out of the net in the air and dispersed. It was scattered over almost the entire battlefield, and exploded with a fuse around 5 meters high from the ground.

　The speed of the explosion far exceeds the speed of sound, and the shock wave is unusually powerful. Trees, mansions, and people were crushed on the spot, and everything was instantly turned to ashes by the super-hot gas and disappeared.......

　It's not a hand grenade...

　A powerful sonic boom sent out a roar like lightning. And the shockwave of countless explosions created a dome of air. Nothing was left in its wake.

　After a while more, the live footage changes to Midea.

　Midea throws a grenade into the compound on the side of the tickler. The type of grenade is a thermite incendiary grenade. However, the spirit's shenanigans produce unusual results.

　Like a giant dragon firework, a pillar of light has appeared....

　This house also burned down instantly without leaving any coals, and the pillar of light disappeared immediately. There was a big garden and no similar fire. No one is out because of the earthquake, and there are no direct witnesses except for the light.

The operation is over. All personnel must leave immediately.

　I tell the kids it's all taken care of, and immediately collect my friends. You can live without magic power, but the rapid use of magic power is very hard on your body. That's why Midea and Manya are in a fainting state.

　At present, they've retrieved them and have regained consciousness, but it seems that their bodies hurt all over and their headaches are severe. We have no choice but to give them painkillers (usually) and then put them to sleep.

　Somehow the wrath of the gods managed to avoid involving ordinary people... but this time it's a communicative companion and a goddess. If they were the appropriate gods of this world, I might have gotten them involved. When I thought of that, I broke out in a cold sweat.


★ The next day, before I left.

You know what?　Khalilia just fell, she had nothing to do with the incident. Fortunately, we have no evidence at all, so we'll let this pass. Absolutely no word of this, okay?

'Quintessential old man, dirty. Adults are dirty, dirty adult role models. I learned my lesson!

　Ted that's a horrible thing to say, isn't it?　I'm giving you advice for the sake of the future and you're putting me down... but the worst part is that I'm not putting you down, I'm giving you a compliment!

'Don't refer to the dirty places. Forget it now!　Ted is going to grow up to be a great adult and be an example to the little guys, okay?

　Khalilia was pretty bad too.

'Thank you for saving me I owe you a debt of gratitude and I'll be your wife when I come of age. It's hard to find a wife at your age, you don't have a partner, do you?　You can come to me whenever you get lonely, right?

　Ugh, you sound like you're on top of things.
　I don't need your help!

　A snotty, stubborn cry from a guy who cried like a snotty little b*tc*. Well, I'm relieved to see you're doing well!

'This still makes the old man pretty popular (in a disposable worker way). I'll just take the feeling.

　Karilia is a zit-eyed person who doubts people. Midia is also [What, you're kidding me? I'm surprised to see a look like that. Anya doesn't believe it at all or doesn't even make a small move... Even old men can cry sometimes, right?

Scary adults won't be around for a while, but keep your head up.　And the old men leave today. I'm on a tight schedule, as it were....

　The farewell is once again a dinner party. They give us lots of flowers and skewers as souvenirs. But they still lick the business!　Take the money for the sale, even if it's your people. Compromise and discount at the end. At the departure, the children waved to me until I couldn't see them anymore.
