Kirke used an Absolute Barrier (Firewall) to prevent my intrusion.
As a countermeasure, I decided to punch the tower from the outside, whittling it down like a Daruma Drop.
Apparently, Kirke had built a castle on the roof of the tower and was staying there.
“Here goes!”
Dogoooooooon! I punched it repeatedly, shaving off the tower one level at a time.
“Here goes!”
Dogooooooooon!
Dogooooooooon!
Dogooooooooon!
…I’m getting tired.
“Sinri, how much have I shaved off so far?”
“200 floors.”
“And how much is left?”
“9800 floors.”
There were 10,000 floors…?
Honestly, I’m getting tired of punching it 9800 more times.
『Here comes Lazy Taro.』
While I was punching the tower, Sinri seemed to have returned to the Floating Island.
She’s probably lying down in her room, eating rice crackers.
『How do you know when you’re not even looking…? Are you a God…?』
Looks like I was right. She’s so easy to read…
“Shall I take over?”
Oberon offered to take my place.
It’s a kind offer, but…
“Oberon probably doesn’t have enough power, right?”
『Indeed. You need to output power equivalent to Master with her protection removed… Hey! Stop that!』
Huh?
What’s wrong…?
『Woof! I hear Big Sis’s voice!』
『Woof! Where is Big Sis!?』
These kids are… Feruta and Feruco!
That’s right, Sinri is on the Floating Island right now. The Divine Beasts are also there.
Those kids have good ears. That’s why they heard my voice and stormed Sinri’s room.
『Woof! Give us Big Sis!』
『Big Sis is going to play with us!』
『Gyaaa! Help me, Master!』
…Hmm, it seems the Puppy Fenrirs have too much energy.
…Ah.
“That’s right. ■(Box). Come here.”
From the ■(Box), Feruta & Feruco &…
『Mikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!』
Byon! An exceptionally large Fenrir clung to me.
“Felmaa…”
Even Felmaa, the mother of Feruta and the others, came out of the ■(Box).
Even though I didn’t call her…
『Mom, get out of the way!』
『You can’t hog Mika’s hug!』
Honestly, it’s getting harder to hug you guys lately… You’re getting too big, just like your mother…
『Brother, Sister, Mother. Move.』
Fuwari… Feruta and the others floated into the air and moved away from me.
Or rather, they were moved away.
“Ferumi.”
Ferumi, the youngest of the three Puppy Fenrir siblings, seemed to have used telekinesis to move Feruta and the others.
Only this child remains small, unlike her parents and older siblings.
But her power surpasses her other siblings. Among those children, she has the power closest to God.
However, Feruta and the other Divine Beasts also possess Divine Power.
“I have something I want to ask Felmaa and the others.”
『Anything for you!』
Buon Buon! Felmaa was wagging her tail so hard it seemed like it would break off.
The wind caused by her tail almost blew Kaida away!
Before I could stop Felmaa, Oberon princess-carried him and caught him.
“Thank you, Oberon.”
“It’s only natural as your wife… but if you insist on thanking me… hmm…♡”
The two were exchanging a passionate kiss.
『What are they?』
“Oberon and Kaida. Besides, I explained the two of them through Fubuki, right?”
『I have no interest.』
Felmaa… you really have no interest in things you’re not interested in…
Well, that doesn’t matter right now. There’s nothing I can do about it.
“Well then, I have something I want to ask of you today.”
『Sure!』『Okay!』『Of course! Anything for Mika!』
Even though I haven’t said what I want them to do yet…
『…Let’s hear what it is first before we answer.』
Said Ferumi. As expected of the calm one. She’s more reliable than her mother.
“I’m currently trying to conquer this huge tower… but it’s a pain to do it alone, so please help me.”
“You’re honestly saying it’s a pain…”
Kaida interjected.
“There’s no point in putting on airs for these kids.”
They’re practically family now.
『What specifically do you want us to do to help?』
Ferumi asked. The rest of the members were already full of enthusiasm, breathing heavily.
“We’re going to punch this tower and shave it off like a Daruma Drop.”
…Ferumi had a subtle look on her face. She looked like she was saying, “What is this person talking about?” I understand, Ferumi.
『Got it!』『Easy!』『A piece of cake!』
The rest of the kids seemed to understand what to do… Really?
“I’ll show you an example, so I want everyone to help.”
I punched the tower.
The tower flew backward without being destroyed.
Then, the tower went down one level…
『…Are we repeating this?』
“That’s right.”
『Got it!』
Feruta took a step back.
He spewed flames from his body and charged towards the tower with tremendous force.
『Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!』
Dogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
As expected, Feruta’s body slam sent the dungeon flying.
These kids also have the power of God, so I thought they might be able to do the same thing as me. That’s why I tried it.
『Woof! This is fun!』
『Let me do it too!』
Next, Feruco took a step back.
『I’ll show you my new technique!』
“Hoh… a new technique?”
Feruco got down on all fours.
The surroundings rapidly froze over.
On the other hand, Feruco’s body was turning red.
“Eh? Hot!”
That’s right… heat was coming from Feruco. That’s strange… I thought this child used the power of ice…
『To be precise, Feruco has the ability to manipulate heat. She generates ice by taking away heat.』
I see… heat manipulation is her ability…
She took away the heat from the surroundings, and Feruco’s body became increasingly red.
『Take this!』
Feruco released the heat. Instantly melting the surrounding ice.
In that instant, a tremendous shockwave occurred on the spot.
About 10 floors of the tower flew off all at once.
“Steam explosion…”
The tremendous steam generated by rapidly melting the cooled air and ice with heat blew away the tower.
『Woof! What was that? Amazing! So cool!』
『Hehe, right? …Mom?』
Meanwhile, Felmaa…
Jumped up, spun at super high speed, and crashed into the tower.
By crashing into it again and again, the tower flew off in succession.
『Mom is amazing too! I can’t lose!』
『I can’t lose either! Woooooo!』
…The Fenrir family was destroying the tower using otherworldly powers…
【What the hell is going on here!?】
Ah, it’s Kirke.
【Fenrirs are a proud race! There’s no way they’d obey humans!】
Proud… race…?
“In my mind, Fenrirs are all just big, slightly idiotic dogs…”
【What are you talking about!? That’s not true! They’re a race of lone wolves!】
Hee…
“Is that so?”
【Why don’t you know that when you’re using them!?】
“I’m not using them. They’re my friends.”
【Haaaaa!? Treating legendary Divine Beasts like friends! Unbelievableeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!】
Ignoring Kirke’s interjection, Sinri said to Oberon.
“Easy?”
“Yes, it’s easy.”
Easy…?
What does that mean?
“The enemy is pointing out Master’s ridiculous actions, so it’s easy for us,” she explained.
“I, I see…”
Eh, I’m not doing anything ridiculous, am I…? Not yet…?
【So you had a hidden card like Fenrir! But there are still thousands of floors left in the tower! Even if there are four more Divine Beast《Fenrir》…】
“Eh, who said there were only four Divine Beasts?”
I opened the ■(Box).
The Four Divine Beasts, Kirin, Kyuuki. I introduced my Divine Beast friends.
【Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?】
Kirke was surprised again.
【Y-You! Why do you have so many Divine Beasts!? They’re not pets!?】
“Well, they just kept increasing without me noticing.”
【You’re not a multi-pet owner!?】
