The body is covered with sludgy lava.
　A lot of bones and skulls are floating on its surface.
　A blasphemous figure that frightens all who see it....

"Abominable Giant...

　Yes, this strange voice and creepy appearance resembles an abominable dragon.
　No, it doesn't matter right now.
　We have to take this thing down.
　The city must be destroyed.

"Lucy!　Saa-san! ........what?
　I looked around and exclaimed.

--Kiaaaaaaaaaa!

　The unpleasant and strange sounds of the giants echoed through the air.
　The knights, the adventurers, and Lucy sat there with a very pale face.

"Lucy!
　They call on the shivering Lucy, who is rattling and shaking.
"It's okay.........
It's not okay!　
　I hug his trembling shoulders.
　What is it?　What have they done to you?

The voice of the abominable demon is cursed to instill fear...
　When I turned around, I saw a pale Princess Sophia standing there.
　I wonder if she's resistant to the state of affairs, she's not sitting down like the other faces.
　However, she still looks like she's in pain.

''Sa-san, are you okay?''
Yeah, I'm feeling fine.
　It might not have much effect on Sa-san, a demon and Lamia tribe.

''Makoto-san, are you okay with it?''
　Prince Leonard seems to be okay, too.
　Well, Sakurai-kun was fine too, thanks to the blessings of the goddess.
　Brave men are cheats and safe.

I have a skill called "clear water".
...And you're totally fine with that?
　Princess Sophia asked in surprise.
　It's only the second time I've dealt with an abomination.

I'm gonna kill it!
　Prince Leonard held up a sword that glowed blue-white.
　Is that a magic sword?
　It must be a legendary weapon passed down in the royal family.

''Leo........''
　The cool Princess Sophia gives a worried look.

''The Ice Sword (Ice Sword)!
　Prince Leonard swung his sword and a giant magic blade struck the giant.
　Oh!　Great!
　It's a blade more than ten times the size of Jean's magic sword.
　With a zakuri, it gives the giant a large wound.
　But.....

You're regenerating.
　Sa-san is right, the giant's wounds have been healing since the moment he cut them.
　It's hard to tell from the looks of it whether it's doing damage or not.

　Buon, the prince, as the giant waves his arm, and the prince, in a hurry, takes the distance.
　It's a little dangerous.
''Reoch!''
d*mn!
　Again, he swings his sword at the giant, but the result is the same.
　I wonder if Prince Leonard doesn't have a big move like Sakurai-kun.
　Glancing over at Princess Sophia, she looks flabbergasted.
　Hmm, isn't he hiding some kind of trump card or something.......

　Huh?
　Honestly, I had a lot of room in my heart until just now.
　Because I had seen Sakurai-kun defeating the abomination dragon with a single blow from close quarters.

　The brave man was an overwhelmingly strong man in this world.
　He had assumed that Prince Leonard must be the same.

(True, the brave men of light are special, right?　(But Leonard-kun is the weakest of the brave...)
　A comment comes in from Master Noah.
　How...... I see.

　While hugging Lucy, I look around again.
　The knights and the adventurers are too frightened to move at the voice of the abominable giant.
　Sa-san can move, but she can't attack with her bare hands with that full-body lava giant.
　Probably, Sa-san's arms will be turned into charcoal.
　Prince Leonard's attack, the "Ice and Snow Hero", which is his trump card, doesn't seem to be very effective.

　.........Isn't this a pinch?

　Buon and the giant's fist closed in on the prince.
　Oh no, there was no way to avoid that one!

Prince!
　An old knight pushed Prince Leonard to the ground and took his place.
　He was just sitting there, but he was so fired up that he moved!
　The old man caught the giant's fist head-on, spun around, slammed into the wall and disappeared through the wall, just like a truck.

Pops!
　It's dead.
　You're not gonna make it. d*mn it!
　I grit my teeth, but for now, I detach myself from my head.

　Calm down.
　Clearwater skills are at 99%.
　Calm down, don't lose your cool.

"AAAAAHHHH!
　After his allies are killed, Prince Leonard loses his composure and his movements become a chore.
　Doesn't he have any tranquilizing skills?

I think I can die up to 4 times. Do you want to try attacking me for a shot or a bee?
　Sa-san has a suggestion for you.

"...No. I don't think bare-handed attacks are going to work against a lava-covered giant.
　Most importantly, how can I let them launch a suicide attack with the assumption that they will die?

　The giants have gradually become accustomed to Prince Leonard's attacks, and have begun to counterattack.
　Every time the giants moved, the lava from their bodies would scatter and turn the area into a scaffold of fire.
　Gradually, Prince Leonard has less and less room to escape.
　In that case, he'll be caught one day.

Follow Prince Leonard!　Throw rocks, debris, or whatever, at them and distract them!　But don't get too close. Don't ever get caught!
Okay, all right. I'll try.
　Sorry!　Please do something dangerous.

　When I suddenly felt a glance and turned around, Princess Sophia was looking at me.

''Takatsuki Makoto can't you do something about it.......''
Princess Sophia...
　Princess Sophia, with a sad face, spoke to me as if she were praying.

''Will you grant Princess Sophia's wish?

　Yes, sir.
　No.　


　Emotionally, I'd say yes, but
　But how?

　Think about it.
　It's possible....
　A few hints.
　What's the resurrection item?
　Will the helpful characters ever show up?
　If we were in McAllen or the Great Maze, we could use spirit magic.


True you should use Princess Sophia.
　Huh?
　Goddess?
　Use it?
　What are you talking about?

　Use.....maybe.


'Princess Sophia!　Do you have any magical skills?
''I've never trained as a wizard........ If it's ice magic/king level skills. But I can only use defensive magic to protect myself....

　That's enough.
　I grabbed Princess Sophia's hand.
What do you want?
Excuse me, sir. I'll need your help with the mana.

--Tuning 《Synchronization》.
　At that moment, I was enveloped in the illusion that I was in the midst of a great waterfall.

　A chilly, pleasant magic power flowed in in large quantities.

''Hmph!''
　Princess Sophia can be heard panting softly.

'Sa-san!　Prince Leonard!　Get away from me!
Okay!
　Prince Leonard didn't hear us, but Sa-san took the prince in his arms and pulled him away.

''Water Magic, Water Dragon!''
　Released from my hand, the ice(──) dragon(──) is heading towards the abominable giant.
　Huh?　A water dragon turned into an ice dragon?
　Is this influenced by Princess Sophia's "Ice Magic and King Class"?



　The attack didn't go through at all, the giant's skin was frozen in places.
　The giant's movements slowed down a bit.
　Oh, this seems to be working.
　No, no?
　The ice dragon was torn apart by the giant.

''Ta, Takatsuki Makoto........what the hell was that?
I synchronized with Princess Sophia and used a spell. Isn't it painful?
Okay, okay I'll just take a break.
Okay, I'll go next time.
What?

　Since I got the princess's permission, I'll increase the synchronization rate more.
　More magic power was flowing in, even more than before.

''Haha!
　Princess Sophia slumped back with a bigness.
　Did I use too much magic all at once?

"Dancing with the Two Ice Dragons
　This time, it creates two ice dragons and attacks the giants.
　They are thrusting their fangs into the giants' bodies in an attempt to eat them up.
　It seems to be doing some damage, but........
　After all, in the end, the giant will crush you.

''Hmm, that's not very decisive when it comes to super-class magic.
...hah ... hah ... hah ... hah.
　Princess Sophia is out of breath.
　It might be bad for your body to stay in tune too long.

"Oh, um........my body is hot........
　Princess Sophia appeals to me.

'Are you in pain?　Is there anything that hurts?
No, no it doesn't hurt, but...
I'll decide next time. I'll do my best.
'What?　That was all I could do earlier...

--Full attunement.
　The feeling of being one with the other. Deeper and deeper into Princess Sophia....

'　Ahhhh!
　I sound like I'm in pain every time....
　Isn't it really painful?

　However, thanks to this, a powerful magic power flowed in.
　Moreover, unlike the free magic power of the spirits, it was easy to handle.
　With this one, it looks good.

"Water magic Yamatano........

　Umm, wait. Is it okay to use water king level magic in a city like this?
　It gets the adventurers and knights around you involved.
　Okay, let's arrange it!

"Water Magic Ice Phoenix.
　Originally, the phoenix is a fire king grade magic.
　Replace it with water magic.

(I'm going to do something outrageous!)
　The Goddess pouted.
　Hey, I'm concentrating, so please shut up.
　But thank you for that tip earlier!
You're welcome.

　King-class magic is completed.
　A huge, ice phoenix appeared in front of him.
　''Oh!　Cool!

Go!　Slay the abominable giant.
　A high-pitched squeal sounded and attacked the giant.

''Ah, um ... is that king-class magic?''
It was Princess Sophia that made it happen.
　He snickers.
　Well, that's great. You have a king class magic skill.

''Ha, yes.......I see.
We're almost there. Here.

　I'm pointing at the abominable giant's body, and it's being frozen more and more.
　Alright, it's time to make a decision.

''Water Magic, Great Ice Prison!
　The end result was a giant ice sculpture.
　The giant froze in a slightly dumb pose.
　An ice phoenix landed on top of it.
　It's quite a picture.

''Did you........defeat it?''
　Princess Sophia asks.
'I think it will remain frozen for about seven days. In the meantime, just deal with it as you see fit.
　I could leave it frozen for a year or so if it's a McAllen with lots of spirits.
　I can't do that with a horn.

''...Okay.
Oh, thank God.
　Oh, it was tough.

'Oh, um...'
Thank you, Princess Sophia, for that.
Okay, uh uh...
Hmm?
　Oh, shit!　We kept our hands together.

'I beg your pardon,'
　Quickly, I let go of my hand.
　Princess Sofia's face was indecisive for a moment, and then quickly reverted to a refreshed expression.

"Listen up, everyone!　The abominable giant has been defeated. If you are able to move, we will re-examine the area for any remaining monsters and evacuate the residents. Adventurers, please help if you can. The reward will be ample.
Priestess!
　The first one to reply was the old man, the former guardian knight.
　What?

Old man, you're alive?
　Suffered that Titan's blow?
　I thought it wasn't even a prototype.

"Hahaha. With my 'iron-clad, super-grade' skills, that level of skill is like being bitten by a mosquito.......
　I was overwhelmed and slumped.
Are you okay?
　I run over to him and try to put my shoulder down.

No problem. Any knights who can move, we'll rescue the inhabitants. Get some of the priestesses and the prince to the castle.
"...Ha!
　It looks like my men's knights are back on the scene.

　These guys are amazing.
　They looked like they were about to die, and now they're back in the field.
　Maybe it's a bit of a black office.

"Makoto Takatsuki.
　Princess Sophia turned her back on me and called out to me.
　Next to me is Prince Leonard, carried on his back by a knight.
　In this way, he's really just a child.
　I can't help but feel sorry for the brave man's heavy responsibility.

''Thank you for your help earlier. I'll thank you later.
No. It's nothing serious...
　And that magic was given to me by the princess.

I'm coming.
　The princess and the knights walked in the direction of the castle.
　Huh, I'm glad I managed it.

　The rest of me looked at my friends.
　Lucy is looking much better. She's looking better.
　Sa-san is....what?

Ugh....
　Sa-san is pale and trembling!
　Don't tell me it's the curse of an abominable giant?

'It's cold~.......it's cold~......Takatsuki-kun.......'
Oh.
　Oh, my God!
　The cold was the weakness of the Lamia people, Sa-san!

　A giant ice sculpture and a giant ice bird.
　And it's even snowing, probably due to the influence of king-class magic.
　The body temperature is about 3 degrees below?

Mr. Sah!　Put this on.
Oh, thank you.
　I slung my jacket over my shoulder in a hurry, but it didn't seem to be doing much good.

'Aya, are you okay?'
　Lucy, wobbling, came over.
　That's right!

Come on, Mr. Saunders. You too, Lucy.
　Bring them closer together and let them hug each other.

Hi!
Wow, Lucy. It's warm.
　Lucy beamed, and Saasan giggled.

What?
Sorry, Lucy, you can't let your body get cold. Keep it that way for a while.
Wow, Lucy, that's a chiropractor.
　Sa-san's pale complexion came back to normal. That's good.
　Lucy's high body temperature helped.

'Ugh, it's cold. Okay ... Aya, are you okay?
Mmm, that's nice.
Hey! What are you doing?
I need a warmer place to be.
　Sa-san is touching Lucy's body.
　Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful to watch the pretty girls intertwine with each other.

'Well, let's go back to the inn once, looking for anyone who missed out.
Yes?

　We walked cautiously through the city and back to the inn.

　Huh, I'm tired this time, Goddess.
