When we boarded the large wooden gondola and took our seats, there were already a good number of participants around, but the gondola itself was quite large and spacious, so there seemed to be plenty of space.

After a short wait, Camellia-san stood in front of everyone.

[Thank you for waiting. We will be departing soon. Once again, I’m Camellia, your guide for this trip. I look forward to working with you.]

After lightly bowing, Camellia-san took out some sort of large oar, having a tremendous length of probably around 10 meters.

Its weight should be considerable, but when I saw her lifting it so easily, I understood once again that Camellia-san is a very strong person.

[……No, well, this oar is just for show. It doesn’t really row this boat, but it does create a mood. Now then, let’s depart. It will be a little bumpy, so please be careful.]

Camellia-san calmly announced and prepped the oar, the huge gondola started to move slowly. At the same time, the band that was on board began to play music.

The music is gentle, yet a little melancholic, with a somewhat folk song-like atmosphere. It’s the perfect song to listen to on a gondola going through grasslands, bringing about a truly wonderful atmosphere.

[This space is created with a special Barrier Magic, which allows creatures within the user’s imagination to appear. Since they are only illusions, you can’t touch them, but please enjoy watching them along with the scenery.]

Immediately after Camellia-san explained this, the grasslands rippled and a huge whale-like creature appeared, jumping over the gondola.

This is amazing…… Swimming through the grasslands as if it was in the ocean, the whale-like creature also had large horns and other features that gave it a strong fantasy-esque feeling, showing that it’s not just an ordinary whale.

After that, dragons flew by and our gondola swam along schools of fishes. How should I say this…… It was the most magical fantasy-esque I’ve ever seen, and with my heart filled with excitement, I enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful music, pleasant breeze, and a sea-like grasslands theme, all of it truly makes a wonderful combination. How should I say this…… I feel like my heart is truly at peace.

As I was enjoying myself like that, I saw a huge wall at the end of the direction we were heading. On the wall, the words “This is an object” were written on it.

Seeing this, Camellia-san stopped moving her oar and wryly smiled.

[……Ahaha, it seems like my subordinates want me to do this…… Please excuse me for a bit. I have countermeasure techniques in place so it won’t shake nearly as much, but please be a little careful.]

Saying this, Camellia-san made the giant oar she was holding disappear. As I tilted my head, wondering what she was doing, Camellia-san quickly pulled away her right hand and assumed a stance.

[……8%.]

Immediately after, I heard a sound as if an explosion had occurred, and the huge wall shattered into pieces. And there, Camellia-san was in a posture with her right hand held out in front of her…… Eh? Did she just smash it with the wind pressure of her punch?

[Please excuse me…… I’m not sure if they made it so that the huge wall would be rebuilt every time I break it so……]

After saying that with a wry smile, the oar reappeared on her hand again and she started paddling in the air as if nothing had happened.

Eh? Camellia-san, aren’t you amazing? That was such a powerful blow that I can’t even imagine from her usual image……

[As expected of Camellia-sama, extolled as Earth’s Mighty Fist. That was a terrific strike.]

[Earth’s Mighty Fist?]

[Yes, Camellia-sama is a person with extremely high offensive ability, which is rare among the Spirits who are good at defense, but tend to be low in offensive ability. Her terrific fist strike is called the Earth’s Mighty Fist.]

When I asked Lilia-san, who said this while admiring that strike, she briefly explained about Camellia-san. Camellia-san was apparently the World King’s strongest in terms of offensive ability, with a very strong fighting style that basically consists of only one straight punch with the right hand.

[……But in my opinion, Camellia-sama’s real greatness isn’t her offensive ability.]

[What do you mean?]

[Just as Camellia-sama muttered “8%” earlier, I think her most amazing aspect is her delicate technique of adjusting her power in 1% increments.]

[I see……]

Hearing Lilia-san’s words, I nodded my head. Indeed, being able to adjust her power in 1% increments means that she has mastered her power to perfection that she’s capable of doing that.

Well, even then, I have a feeling that Camellia-san doesn’t particularly think that part of her as amazing, or rather, she probably wouldn’t mention her capabilities unless she was asked.

In fact, even now, how should I say this…… She’s smiling with an astounded expression on her face, and I think her actions earlier were just doing it as a performance at the request of her subordinates.

It’s just a guess, but I think it was because of her character of not claiming how amazing she was by herself that her subordinates prepared such a performance to let many people know how amazing Camellia-san is.
