After defeating the S-rank weakling, or rather, the hedgehog monster…
We continue through the dungeon.
~~~~~~
Sinri: A Gremlin is flying towards you from the front.
Gremlin
→S rank. A small devil monster that flies at a speed too fast to see.
~~~~~~
Thanks to Sinri’s advance notice, I’m not surprised at all.
“Heave-ho!”
“Gishaaaa!?”
My hand is gripping the Gremlin’s hand.
“W-what is that…?”
Kaida is shocked.
“Sinri told you about it, right? It’s a Gremlin.”
“Y-yeah… but it flew at a speed too fast to see, didn’t it!?”
“That’s right.”
“Then how can you grab it!?”
“Well, I could see it.”
“What are you talking about!?”
Oberon explains to the greatly confused Kaida.
“Even though it’s said to be too fast to see… that’s only in the sense of human eyes. The structure of a God’s body is fundamentally different from that of a human’s.”
“I-I see… amazing…”
I killed the Gremlin instantly with a smack.
The Gremlin’s weakness is its low defense, in exchange for its speed.
It goes down from a single strike from a frail maiden, you see.
~~~~~~
Sinri: A swarm of Gremlins is heading this way, what do you want to do?
~~~~~~
A swarm, huh? What a pain.
“I wonder if Kurohime… can be summoned.”
All I can do is Familiar Summoning (summoning familiars the size of smartphones. Sinri is an exception).
I can’t summon Kurohime, the daughter of the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Divine Beasts.
“Well then, I guess I’ll catch them barehanded. Kaida, if things get dangerous, cut the enemies with that sword.”
“O-okay…”
Kaida gulps.
“Hey, you don’t have to be so nervous.”
“B-but they’re top-tier monsters, right?”
“That’s right. But, it’s okay, it’s okay. Even if an attack hits, it’s okay.”
“I-isn’t it going to hurt a lot…?”
“No, you’ll die?”
“Die!? That’s not okay at all!?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Even if you die, we can just resurrect you.”
Kaida has a blank expression.
Oberon gently shakes his shoulder.
“It’s alright, Kaida-kun. Don’t take what that woman says too seriously.”
“A-ah…”
But seriously, isn’t it fine as long as we resurrect him if he dies?
That’s what I’m thinking.
~~~~~~
Sinri: Master has completely gone over to 【that side】…
~~~~~~
What’s that supposed to mean, “that side?”
While we’re chatting, the swarm of Gremlins arrives.
“O-only the sound of the wind cutting through the air… The enemies are too fast, I can’t keep up with my eyes…!”
“Yo!”
I use both arms to block the simultaneous attack of Gremlins x10.
“What the heck is that…!?”
“Huh? I just saw through the enemy’s attacks and blocked them x10, though?”
“Ten simultaneous attacks, and you blocked all of them at the same time, even though they were high-speed!? That’s insane!?”
“Is it? You can do it if you try.”
“I-is that so…?”
Meanwhile, Oberon says calmly.
“Kaida-kun. Mika God-sama’s statements like these have a (for me) attached to them. Keep that in mind.”
“I-I see… Amazing, Mika… A normal person could never do that.”
Now then, the Gremlins I caught.
“Wind (Wind Ed…)”
Paan…!
The Gremlins burst apart all at once.
“Huh?”
“W-was that a magic that makes bodies explode?”
“No, it’s Wind Blade (Wind Edge)… a magic that creates blades of wind… huh?”
Why did they burst apart like that?
And it was before I even finished saying the name of the magic?
“Hey Sinri. What’s going on?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: The enemy died from 【just the words】 of Master declaring the use of magic.
~~~~~~
“H-huh…?”
“W-what does that mean…?”
“Why doesn’t Mika herself understand!?”
Oberon pats Kaida’s shoulder.
“This happens often with Mika God-sama…”
“It does!?”
“Yes, she… doesn’t fully grasp her own immense power…”
“Wha…!? T-that’s too dangerous!”
“That’s right, she’s a dangerous person… or rather, a dangerous God…”
Hehe.
“That’s not a compliment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Oberon Mama is scolding her~
~~~~~~
“In the first place, shouldn’t this AI be able to grasp Mika’s abilities? Before Mika gets scolded, isn’t it possible to warn her in advance that she’ll get scolded if she uses her power…?”
“Impossible. This simpleton is incapable of such consideration.”
~~~~~~
Sinri: I’m not a simpleton (`皿´)ノ
~~~~~~
No, you’re a simpleton, and I’m a klutz.
The two of us are Simpleton Max Heart, okay?
“So, what’s this about declaring magic and whatnot?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Master spoke the name of the magic, right?
~~~~~~
“That’s right. Wind Blade (Wind Edge).”
~~~~~~
Sinri: The enemy, understanding innately that Master, who possesses immense magical power, is going to use magic = a tremendous magic is going to fly at them = they’ll die instantly if they get hit, and comprehending the threat of Master, as a result, they died of shock just from hearing the name of the magic.
~~~~~~
H-huh…?
Ehh…?
“O-Oberon… can you understand what Sinri is saying…?”
“There’s no way someone like me could understand something that Mika God-sama can’t understand!”
Y-yeah, right~…
“Moreover, even though the cause of death was shock, why did their bodies explode and scatter…?”
“W-well…? W-why is that, Sinri…?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Isn’t it just that shocking (casual)
~~~~~~
Hey, “casual” is…
~~~~~~
Sinri: Even when searching the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), the cause of death of those guys earlier is only displayed as shock. Why they exploded and scattered from shock doesn’t come up in the search.
~~~~~~
“Even though you’re Omniscient and Omnipotent, there are things you don’t know…”
“Especially things related to Mika God-sama… She’s an existence outside of human understanding…”
W-well, anyway.
So, in short, it seems the enemies were scared of my magic and died of shock before I could even activate it.
“Everything Mika’s done since a while ago is incomprehensible…”
“It’s alright, Kaida-kun. You don’t have to understand. If you do, you’ll go crazy.”
“I-is that so… is that right…”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s okay, you’re still sane.”
You 【are】…
~~~~~~
Sinri: I also find it truly regrettable to be lumped together with this interdimensional life form.
~~~~~~
You’re on my side too, okay…?
“Hmm…? But if I can make enemies die of shock just by saying the name of the magic, can’t I defeat all the monsters around here with that?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: As expected, that only works on monsters that can understand human language to some extent, have intelligence, and have low defense.
~~~~~~
Ah, I see…
For example, I can’t instantly kill monsters that don’t have ears or have extremely high defense with just the name, huh.
~~~~~~
Sinri: Speaking of which, the next enemy is here.
It’s a Gargoyle.
A stone statue demon. It has a hard body and magic eyes that can turn those it looks at into stone.
~~~~~~
Flap flap… a large stone statue flew through the air.
That’s a Gargoyle.
“Since it has a stone body, it probably won’t die of shock just from the name.”
“What are you saying so nonchalantly!? It uses magic eyes that turn those it looks at into stone, right!?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
The Gargoyle glares at me.
But I’m unfazed.
“Why haven’t you turned to stone!?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Gods are not included in the targets of the magic eyes.
~~~~~~
“What is that!? That’s cheating!”
“Even if you say it’s cheating…”
Now then, having realized that its magic eye attack doesn’t work, what will the Gargoyle do…?
Boon…!
“What!? The Gargoyle suddenly exploded!?”
“Eh, what’s going on?”
“That’s why! Why is Mika, who must have done something, surprised!?”
Kaida says. He’s doing all the commentary in place of Luciel.
“Hey Sinri, what’s going on?”
~~~~~~
Sinri: Master unconsciously nullified the curse from the magic eyes. As a result, the curse reversal was activated, so it seems it exploded.
~~~~~~
I see… if you curse someone, you dig two graves.
If a curse fails, the curse returns to the one who cast it.
This is called curse reversal.
“Mika returned the curse from the magic eyes, so the opponent exploded… is that it?”
“Seems like it.”
“Seems like it… but specifically, how did you do the curse reversal?”
“Who knows? It just activated on its own.”
Kaida clutches his head and crouches down.
“What’s wrong? Do you have a headache? I heard your head hurts in places with low atmospheric pressure, you know?”
Then Kaida and Fairy King Oberon raised their voices.
“It’s not the air pressure, it’s your fault…!!!!!”
