Chapter 147
「This is it」
The grassland of our objective was truly just within a stone’s throw away from the Capital . That’s because we reached our destination in less than an hour even without getting on Joule and others’ backs .
Rather, although they have no intentions of attacking, I feel that having a group of B-ranked monsters this close to a town would case a great ruckus…
Was there actually a ruckus and I just didn’t know about it? Well, it can’t be helped that I don’t know the things around here much~
“Ah!”
“There!”
“Oh, you are right . Erm… that’s about fifteen?”
A pitch black cows that were much thicker and larger than the cows I know of were greedily devouring the grass of the grassland .
We will be subjugating those cow now, but there is something I have to say first .
“Allen, Elena . The heads and backs of those fellows are extremely tough, so you mustn’t kick them there, all right?”
“”Got it~!””
When I cautioned the children to not kick the hard parts so they legs don’t hurt, the two returned cheerful replies .
“”Hmmm, hmmm~…””
Then, the two folded their arms and seemed to be pondering about something .
“Can kick the belly~?”
“Hmm? Yes, kicking near their bellies is fine . ”
“Magic~?”
“That’s right, using magic would be good too . ”
Allen and Elena each came up with methods of fighting the Armored Buffalo .
“So, which will you use?”
“”Both!””
“Haha, both, huh?”
“”Yup!”
“Let’s see~ Oniichan wants to fight too, so let’s try defeating each animal differently!”
“”Yeah, okay!””
That being the case, we divided the Armored Buffalo between us and decided to defeat them .
“Allen, is first!”
“Ah~ not fair~ Elena is first too~”
“N?”
Then, they began scrambling for the order, which is unusual for them .
It seems to have been caused by me when I said that “I will defeat five of them . ”
They are apparently thinking that we will be taking turns instead of each defeating five while acting together .
But, I wouldn’t have to take my eyes off of the children with the former method, so I would be more thankful with that .
“Yesyes, stop! The Armored Buffalo noticed us . ”
As the two were quarreling “That one is Allen’s!” “That’s Elena’s!”, the Armored Buffalo came rushing at us .
“Look, there’s two, so each of you take on one . ”
“”Yea!””
The two immediately stopped and stared at the Armored Buffalo merrily .
“By the way, have you already decided whether you will be using hand-to-hand combat or magic?”
“”Uniyu?””
“The two that are approaching are already relatively close, so both of you using magic when there’s someone beside you might be dangerous, no?”
“”Ohh~””
I don’t think the two would attack each other even by a mistake, but when I tried asking just in case, the two raised their voices as if they just noticed .
“Kick~?”
“Magic~?”
Allen and Elena looked at each other, and tilted their heads in puzzlement .
“”Hmm~ let’s see… — Kick~!””
Then, the answer they came up with was “Kick” — a hand-to-hand combat .
As I thought, the two prefer moving their bodies around~
“I repeat, don’t attack their heads and backs, okay?”
“”Yea! I am going~!””
“Yes, be safe . ”
Allen and Elena broke into a run, straight towards the Armored Buffalo .
The two charged straight at the Armored Buffalo and slid under them at the last moment .
“”Take this~!””
And then, they kicked up with both of their legs .
The Armored Buffalo didn’t rise because of their weight, but they lost their balance and toppled over—Thud, a heavy sound resounded .
“Ehh-!? That’s dangerous!”
Allen and Elena skillfully evacuated from under the two animals, but that was quite a dangerous attack . If unlucky, they could have gotten squished under the Armored Buffalo .
“”Haa~!””
“”Bumoo——!!””
Immediately after, the two threw ax kicks aiming at the throats of the fallen Armored Buffalo .
The Armored Buffalo cried for the last time as their movements stopped .
“”Defeated~!””
Allen and Elena run back with smiles as if saying “we defeated it,” but… —
“Allen! Elena!”
“”Uniyu?””
“The way you fought just now was way too dangerous!”
“”Dangerous~?””
I immediately warned the two upon their return . But, the two looked at me with incomprehension written on their faces .
“If you miscalculated the direction of the falling Armored Buffalo, they could have fallen right onto you two, you know!?”
“”N~?””
I explained them the worst case scenario, but the two seemingly didn’t understand me .
But, because the two Armored Buffalo were defeated, the others took battle-ready postures, so I have to leave this conversation for later .
“First of all, hand-to-hand combat is prohibited for today . We will defeat them with magic!”
“”Got it~!””
Telling the two to not use the same method again, we confronted the rest of the Armored Buffalo .
“Water Cutter . ”
Taking the lead, I aimed a blade of water at the Armored Buffalo’s neck .
“… Huh?”
“”Oh~! So cool~!!””
The blade of water splendidly cut the Armored Buffalo’s head off .
As expected, I was startled by the sharpness of my attack, but Allen and Elena were extremely pleased .
“Allen will do it too~! — Water Cutter~”
“Elena too~! — Water Cutter~”
The two immediately fired the same magic and defeated the Armored Buffalo one after another .
“”Ah!””
And then, in the blink of an eye, the rest of the Armored Buffalo were defeated .
Allen and Elena became too absorbed, so when they finished, they looked at my face and smiled “Tehe . ”
“”Defeated them~””
“Indeed, you defeated them all . ”
“”Ehehe~ sorry~””
“Oh well . Will you let Oniichan do his best the next time?
“”Un, got it~!””
In the end, I defeated only one animal, but we obtained a great amount of beef of excellent quality, and the two intend to leave the next opportunity to me, so let’s leave it like that .
“Then, shall we collect the Armored Buffalo and return?”
“”Yeah . ””
