57-Episode 54 "3 to 3"







'Aw, yeah. I don't know what the situation is, but it sounds like you were on the edge.
Mr. Yuki!
It's Yuki-san!

 I used the 'Triple Warding' to protect Auru and Junna, and I used the 'Triple Warding' to catch the attack of the skeletal giants and the dragon, but it was really just in time.
 Thanks to Nia's good control, I was able to activate my usual 'Triple Warding', but the first one was shattered and the second one was cracked. It's impossible to prevent a series of attacks.

'But then, what's the situation really like? I know the chairman of the committee is here, but why is even Soji and the others... or is everyone safe?
"Vitals are normal. Vitals are normal.
"Oh, thanks, Nia.

 If it's the result of Nia's diagnosis, there's no doubt about it. I don't know why Sorge and the others are participating in the race, but I'm guessing it's like they were put to sleep fighting the black dress in front of them due to the circumstances. This black dress is probably also the reason why everyone participating in the recreation is stunned. If it's a mental interference-type ability, it's tricky.

'You must be Kosuke Yuki.
'Eh, yes. Yes, but....

 Mr. Black Dress suddenly spoke to me. I thought it was nice to meet you, but have we met before? I don't think I've ever known anyone in a black dress like this....

'I'm so grateful to you. You have interfered with my plans, and it is because of you that I have gained so much power. In return, I'm going to give you a peaceful sleep too, 'Sleep.'
Mr. Yuki!

 The two of them look at me with a desperate look on their faces.
 Maybe some tremendous attack is coming. I'll do my best to prepare for the triple warding to be activated at any time.

'Huh?'
''What...?''
What?

 Not only Aul and Junna, but also the black dress has a strange look on its face.

''Are they deaf? "Lay down!
'No, I can hear you and I don't want to, but...'

 What kind of play is that, like lying flat? The ground is wet and soggy, probably because there was a battle earlier. I hate it even more.

"Are my orders not working...?
No, you don't normally take orders from strangers.

 The black dress is panicking for some reason, so let's make sure the unconscious committee chairpersons are safe while we're at it.

''Toys. Puppets, after you put these on the chairpersons, gather them in one place.

 I handed over the "substitute card" that I had hidden in the clay figure created by the "toy" and asked the committee chairmen to gather them near Aru and Junna while they affixed it.

You're going to have to put it up too, just in case.
What's this all about?
That's a ransom note!

 Since Auru-chan doesn't seem to know about it, I'll leave the explanation to Junna.
 The 'ransom bill' brought from home was 11 pieces. The four committee chairmen, the four delinquents, Auru, Junna and me have just gone. It's not a problem because I always let Nia and Uru have them.
 It was a mistake to bring less because I thought Takigawa would mess with me if he found me.

'Oh well, now we can fight without a care in the world.

 I set up a triple ward around everyone and focus on the black dress in front of me.
 The clay figures are also inside the ward. If the ward is broken, the clay figures will protect the chairman and the others.

''If their orders don't work, then it can't be helped. Dragon King, Golden Giant Soldier (Gogan), take him down.''
"'Dissolve'! "Triple Warding!

 He used his 'Dissolve' ability to dissolve the skeletal giant's feet and break its stance, and his 'Triple Warding' prevented the dragon's rush.

''You managed to survive the first attack.
It will be easier to defeat the sorcerer, but in this situation, it will be necessary to defeat the giant and the dragon first.
It's okay, it's three against three, we'll figure it out!

 Three against three, me, Nia and Ur vs. the black dress, the dragon and the giant.
 The apparent difference in strength is ridiculous.

Oh, we can use the same technique to show a dragon or something?

 ''I've already mastered the 'Mujo Golden Giant Soldier, Greatest Gaughan', and I've just mastered the 'Mujo Dragon King Reveal'.

''Chanting, chanting.......Whoa!
Nice evasion, master!

 When I was going to chant, a wooden spear flew and interrupted me.
 It seems that only these two jutsu with 'Mujo' are different, though I can use the jutsu by omitting the tag and the chanting if I let Ururu pass.
 Even if you speak quickly, it takes about two minutes. The gap is too big.

"Let's give up, 'Toy'!
"I support you.

 Two earthen forms as large as skeletal giants were created, and Nia connected the spirit power threads to them.

''Such a huge golem in an instant, it's awesome.
It's like a giant Kaiju battle.

 It's more like a robot battle.
 Nia's manipulation skills are amazing, but the surface of her earthly form is slowly being chipped away. Apparently the durability and destructive power of dragons and skeletal giants is significantly higher than that of dragons and skeletal giants. They don't seem to be able to keep it for long.

''Nia, how much time can you buy?
I'm sorry, sir. I've been here for a few minutes.
Enough. "Scatterguns!

 Thanks to Ururu, Mr. Scatterguns can be activated without having to write a jutsu formula on his arms and legs.
 Only Mr. Scatterguns can adjust its power without relying on Nia. With the 'Scattergun' activated by his feet, he approaches the black dress at high speed.

''Restrain him!
''Flame-burning, flame-burning, flame-burning wall! 'Scatterguns', 'Scatterguns'!

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.

''d*mn, Dragon King! The Golden Giant!
Sasemasen!

 The dragon and the giant took aim at me, but Nia's control of the giant earthling form tackled me and disappeared deep into the forest.

''Wow, 'Follow me!'
No!

 I close up to the black dress's eyes and clench my fists. I turn my body away to duck the fist, but that kind of amateur evasion won't shake my eyes out!
 Aimed under the chin. Stroking and swinging through!

Equal Fist!

 That's it! I thought........what? What is this feeling? Rubber tires?
 I look and see that my fist is stopped by something invisible, not reaching under the chin of the black dress.

'That order wasn't to you, my dear. I commanded it to the air around me.
You mean the wall of air, isn't it too strong?

 Immediately after muttering that. He was blown away by the storm and slammed into the triple wards that had been put up to protect the chairman and the others.
 It hurts. The part of the hair that Ururu is holding onto is the most painful than the body.

''Master, are you okay?''
'Yeah, thanks to the scapegoat, my injuries healed quickly. Are Ur and Nia okay?
"I was grabbing my master's hair, I'm fine! I'm missing a couple of them...
This guy....
Master, I am safe. I am safe and sound, and my earthly form has been destroyed.
"Seriously?

 The dragon and the skeletal giant returned, shaking the ground with a thud.
 Is this the way to start out? No, I've exposed my hand and triggered a substitute tag, so things have gotten a little worse.

''Yuki-san, I'll buy you some time. I want you to run away with everyone in the meantime.
I can't leave Oulu alone. I'll stay too. Besides, this fight is originally meant to be dealt with by me and Aul. So let us take it from here.
'Ummm ... do you two have any chance of winning?'
I don't have it, but I'll make it up to you on time!
''I've also recovered some of my magical powers, they don't get hit for free!

 Auru-chan and Junna are talking to me passionately from inside the triple ward, but I can't allow that to happen.
 Or rather, I can't let the two of them decide to be that prepared.......I'm sorry.

''I'm sorry, both of you. It's okay, I'll be serious.

 Let's stop fighting in a way that causes anxiety. We need to get it over with and continue with the recreation.

'Nia, Ur, let's do that.
Yes, sir.
Phew, that's a trump card!

 I visualize the shape, Uru gathers enormous magical power from nature, and Nia controls it.
 I could only hold the shape for about three minutes in the earlier practice, but that should be enough.

''Dragon King! The Golden Giant! Stop him!

 The black dress, sensing something, is giving orders in a hurry. You get the idea. But it's a little late.
 With the dragon's tail and the giant's fist closing in on me, I slowly swing the small sword that appears in my hand.

''God's Small Sword (Kamui Makiri).''

 The moment the cutting edge snatched the tail and fist, the dragon and the skeletal giant shattered and dissipated into pieces.
