Chapter 194.1: Public Service
I was really surprised to see Randou-san finish the base for 『Witch’s Kettle』 in a flash. I mean it was much faster than before.
When she invoked 『Terra Shield』 with the golden revolver she got from Tendou-kun, making the kettle-shaped shield was a breeze for her. Not to mention that she could freely alter its shape and size. But of course, she still had to use the intermediate rank spell, 『Terra Alma Shield(Huge Rock Shield)』 to make a large public bath.
And it took quite a while too.
But then, she learnt the intermediate defensive spells. I had heard about this matter during her self-introduction, but seeing her use the spell in real time made me realize Randou-san’s growth.
With this, we would be one step closer to the completion of our subjugation plan.
「Okay, let’s go to Yamata no Orochi’s place.」
「Uwa~, there are two Momokawas.」
I had expected Randou-san’s reaction when she saw me invoke 『Twin Shadow』 which I was gonna use to observe Yamata no Orochi.
「Awesome, how did you do that? Are you actually using VR?」
「Nope, this has nothing to do with VR, this is another one of my curses, it has a physical form.」
「Oo~, I really can touch it.」
「Wha, not inside my clothes, please!」
She suddenly pushed her hand from the gap of my gakuran and squeezed my shadow’s stomach. Though it didn’t have a sense of pain, a normal sensation was still transmitted. Gah, am I weak in that spot!?
「Tendou, can you tell which is the fake one?」
「… Nah, can’t tell.」
When things started getting dangerous, Randou-san pulled out her erotic hand, what a disappointment, she should’ve co— I mean, it’s good that she stopped.
But it seems Tendou was telling the truth when he said “Can’t tell” since he looked at me more seriously than usual.
By the way, since Takanashi-san could replicate the cigarette, Tendou-kun took a whiff as soon as she copied the cigarette.
「But yeah, it’s fake. I could pretty much tell that as soon as I touched it.」
「A~h wait, please sto~hp~」
Tendou-kun roughly brushed my shadow’s hair. Naturally, I didn’t enjoy the moment since I wasn’t a girl, and even if I was one, Tendou-kun wasn’t my type. And since it transmitted a normal feeling except for pain, it felt a bit awkward. That’s why even though the hair of my real body didn’t get crumpled down, I reflexively tried to fix my hair due to the influence of my shadow.
Anyhow, the person who saw this would quickly try to touch my shadow, thus I had to warn them that we had to go to Yamata no Orochi’s nest.
「OO~H, Awesome! Is this how riding a horse feels like?」
「Well, Rem is paying intention to ensure the stability and comfort of her ride.」
Randou-san was truly enjoying her first riding experience on the back of a red raptor AKA Alfa. Our safety was guaranteed since we were riding Rem. The stirrup and saddle made it even easier to ride her.
Well, that matter aside, Randou-san’s appearance when she rode Alfa was really stimulating.
I mean, she wore her usual mini skirt and opened her leg wide as she straddled Alfa’s back. I ended up blessed with an occasional panty shot. Mei-chan was wearing her leopard print right now, but Randou-san must’ve brought a change with her. I mean yeah, black was nice.
As if that wasn’t stimulating enough, since we were literally jolting around, her delicious, creamy brown massive pair of tits were shaking nonstop.
I was unintentionally lured by that miraculously erotic sight and yet, say Tendou-kun, you’re not even taking a glance at such an erotic spectacle, are you a homo?
「Oi, Momokawa.」
「Eh, what, I am definitely not thinking of something rude you know?」
「I don’t care about that. Can you go a bit faster?」
「Sorry, but I’m still not used to controlling my shadow while doing other activities with my real body at the same time.」
Since this was a good chance to train moving my 『Twin Shadow』 and real body at the same time, I might as well use this moment to the fullest.
My shadow, which went along with Tendou’s team toward Yamata no Orochi, was on foot while I helped Mei-chan and Class Rep with various preparations in the school tower.
But moving my shadow and my real body at the same time was a tough job. I mean, even at the best of times, moving my right hand and left hand differently was already hard enough, and yet, now the difficulties literally spiked up with me controlling two bodies at once.
In fact, the way my shadow walked was akin to a drunkard’s gait right now.
But, despite the shadow walking like a drunkard, my real body moved like usual. I noticed that depending on my practice, I might be able to gain perfect control over moving both my real body and the shadow at the same time with practice.
「I’ve no obligation to follow your training. Get on that red raptor, now.」
「E~h, can’t be helped I gue~ss.」
Though I felt that riding an Alfa with two people at the same time was quite dangerous, the me of this time had yet to know that an even greater danger was looming before me.
「C’mon Momokawa, you’re on the ba~ck.」
When Randou-san told me to ride behind her… Uhm, well, glued so closely like this was dangerous in various ways.
「Okay, hold on tight Momokawa, we’re going to da~sh.」
Are you sure that I can hold on tight!? Woah, that was dangerous, let’s amend the love relationship ban’s rule after this…
===
After we crossed two hours’ worth of distance in mere thirty minutes, we arrived again at the rocky mountain which became the nesting place of Yamata no Orochi. Maan, I would rather say that it was a wonderful thirty minutes of service time in which I could legally hug Randou-san. Her soft body was the perfect suspension.
Well, my brain might be dyed pink after such an experience, but that didn’t mean I could just ignore the dangerous air in front of the raid boss’ nest which was filled with countless gargoyles. I mean, we had been attacked a few times along the way by stray gargoyles. Now it was time to get serious.
「Let me handle them. Just make sure that you guys won’t become a hindrance.」
「Okay, I know my limits.」
「Yeah, we will call for your help when we need your help.」
「Ain’t gonna save yer asses.」
Tendou-kun spoke with a disappointed face and then went to fight Yamata no Orochi alone.
Even he knew that he couldn’t defeat it by himself. As the holder of a seeming cheat among cheat vocation, 『King』, it seemed like he wanted to try various things on his own. Great, powerful people have options. Such luxurious worries.
Should I try to call him from this place?
「Can you make a hole, Randou-san?」
「A~h, let’s see.」
Randou-san replied with a subtle look on her face. It seemed like she didn’t want to go near that place.
「Let’s just try it.」
「Oooou.」
Let’s try it first.
Randou-san gripped her golden revolver and fired 『Terra Shield』 one after another.
「Well, this might be the limit.」
「This’ll be enough. Now we’ve to meddle with the ground.」
With this, now we could continue to dig 30 cm deep with a 1-meter radius from the center into the ground. A shot of 『Terra Shield』 could make that much.
Judging from the way Randou-san used the spell, it seemed she used both the dug soil and her own magical power to create the wall for the magic shield. So the dug soil must’ve become a part of the wall.
「Since we don’t have to worry about the strength of the wall for now, I want you to prioritize the amount of soil dug.」
「And why do you want me to do something like that? Are we going to make a tunnel?」
「That will be best if possible, but building a channel might be too difficult.」
Even Yamata no Orochi would die if we destroyed the main core hidden in the mountain. If we could build a tunnel from this safe place all the way until right below that mountain and ganging up on Yamata no Orochi without being disturbed by gargoyle or Yamata no Orochi’s head x 8.
But, judging from Randou-san’s expression, it seemed she couldn’t make such a tunnel. Such a feat might be possible if she mastered her profession, 『Geomancer』 to its limit, but realistically speaking, that would take a really long time.
「Anyhow, our first objective is to dig as deep as possible.」
「The heck, I’m not going to enter the hole.」
「It’s a safety zone. It can protect us from Yamata no Orochi’s beam too.」
The terrain of this place was a giant, bowl-shaped gentle slope with the rocky mountain that had Yamata no Orochi’s nest at its center. Since there was no covering at all on the slope in any direction, Yamata no Orochi, with its eight heads, could trigger happy on us with its eyes’ beam.
