Day 4 Water Month

  Waaaa!!! Waaaa!!!

  Nn…? What the hell…

  Even though I was sleeping under Hajime’s arm in the precious time I have when it’s my turn to sleep with him, all of a sudden there’s a big commotion towards Lilia-san’s front wn at sunrise.

  Nnnnn, I just want to sleep and savor my time with my precious Hajime longeeeeer.

  “Hrrrrrng, what the hell’s going on? Come on, wake up Yue. Let’s go check what’s going on.” (Hajime)

  Gunununu, Hajimeeeeeee, I want to sleep with you longeeeeer, can’t we ju—

  Ah, you heard Shia’s voice so you want to check on the situation, huh…

  Gununu… Fine! I’ll wake up, okay…

  I also heard Shia’s voice, but as we’re inside the room far away from the wn, I can’t really understand what she’s saying. But judging by her voice, I can tell that she’s really excited.

  Haah, I hope Shia’s excitement is worth my precious time with Hajime, though I highly doubt that.

  So, what did you entangle with this time, Shia? I hope it’s something new and interesting.

  Day 5 Water Month

  Nn, for some reason my thoughtography style diary didn’t register the events yesterday, considering the only event recorded within is the sudden noise that abruptly ended my lovely time with Hajime.

  Weird, what’s wrong with it? I checked the magic, but it works perfectly fine?

  Oh well, it shouldn’t be anything big. I can always try to remember what happened yesterday and it’ll automatically write it down.

  …For some reason my memory is foggy from after I walked out of Hajime’s room and went to Lilia-san’s front wn. What’s going on?

  …Nn, I don’t want to do this and it’s really vexing, but I might visit Kaito-san, or rather, Alice-san to examine me since there could be some weird phenomenon exclusive to this world.

  Also, for some reason, there’s no one from the returnees’ side and the Nagumo household here, weirdly enough. I asked the maid-san where they were and she said that they all went to Kaito-san’s mansion, so there’s one more reason why I will visit Kaito-san.

  Seriously though, what happened yesterday?

  .

  .

  .

  As I walk towards Kaito-san’s living room, from afar I can see many people gathered in front of it. Actually, all of the returnees, the Miyama Household, and even the Nagumo Household including Myuu have gathered and are looking at something with worried expressions.

  Curiously, I got closer and I could hear Shia and Hajime’s voices as they’re arguing about something. For some weird reason, Shia was hugging Kaito-san’s waist really tightly while Hajime was trying to pry her off.

  “Please Kaito-san! Please let me meet her one more time! This time! This time I won’t lose desu!” (Shia)

  “U-umm…” (Kaito)

  “You idiotic, buggy rabbit! We’re going back!” (Hajime)

  “B-but Hajime-san!” (Shia)

  “No buts! We’re returning now! Look around you! You’re disturbing the residents here!” (Hajime)

  “Just once! Let me meet her just once more, Kaito-san! I can’t stay silent with this “loss” desu!!!” (Shia)

  “...Ah.” (Yue)

  Now I remember, my memory floods through my brain as I recall the event that transpired yesterday.

  .

  .

  .

  After me and Hajime went to Lilia-san’s front garden, we saw the returnees gathered and spectating a fight. Said fight consisted of Shia and a beast that we’ve never seen before.

  This beast is a really imposing 10 meters tall bipedal beast with rge horns and crimson colored fur. Judging from its expression, it looks very excited fighting Shia as both of them exchanged blows with each other with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

  The returnees are naturally cheering for Shia, while the Miyama household just looks at the battle with a conflicted gaze as they foresee the fight occurring in Lilia-san’s front wn. When Hajime and I asked Lilia-san what was going on, she kindly expined while downing an absurd amount of stomach ache pills.

  She expins that the beast Shia is fighting now is the War King, Megiddo Argentes Borgnes. She also tells us that the War King came to her mansion out of nowhere without an appointment to visit Kaito-san and us, the returnees.

  I see, this beast is the War King huh, judging from the intensity of its mana plus the fact that it looks very imposing, it’s definitely befitting the title of the War King. Or rather, isn’t it fighting really well against Shia now? Even the wind that’s generated from their fight is enough to almost blow away the spectators.

  “What the hell is going on here?” (Hajime)

  “Ah, Hajime, good morning.” (Shizuku)

  “Yeah good morning, well it’s barely morning though. Anyway, what’s up with that thing over there?” (Hajime)

  “Good morning Goshujin-sama. Apparently when Shia’s back from her daily morning exercise, Megiddo-dono came by to meet us and it seems like it’s interested in Shia so it asked her for a light spar.” (Tio)

  “...this is anything but light though, or rather, is Shia going serious now?” (Yue)

  “Looks like it, she used body strengthening level VIII and they’re evenly matched in terms of brute force. I guess it’s to be expected for War King-sama isn’t it?” (Kaori)

  Nn, just like what Kaori said, even though Shia is at level VIII, she’s only evenly matched against the War King in terms of pure strength as they evidently fought evenly with their fist.

  “HAHAHA!!! I had fun, little rabbit! What’s your name!?” (Megiddo)

  “Fuh! It’s Shia Haulia desu!” (Shia)

  “KUHAHAHA! I see! Then Shia, let’s take it up a notch shall we!?” (Megiddo)

  “Heh, I thought you never asked desu!” (Shia)

  No, aren't both of you already fighting seriously enough?

  It seems like that thought emerges in our mind when both Shia and Megiddo-san said those words but since it’s only unified thought, naturally both of them didn’t hear it.

  Or rather, Shia took out her warhammer Vire Drucken from her treasure warehouse and increased her body strengthening level to level IX while looking reaaaaally excited, meanwhile Megiddo-san’s fur became jet bck colored while ughing maniacally. I dunno what that indicates but I have a feeling they’re not gonna pull out any punches and will go all out, which means it’s gonna be more chaotic than before.

  “Haaah, not only is there a battle crazed goril, there’s also a battle crazed rabbit huh, hold on.” (Alice)

  All of a sudden, a small voice came out near Kaito-san and it’s Alice-san with an exasperated expression on her face as she cast a magic that covers the wn where both of them fought.

  …This… this is not your regur spatial magic, this is more complicated than that, interesting.

  Oh? It looks like both of them have finished warming up.

  .

  .

  .

  (Change to third person view)

  Shia charges towards Megiddo with blinding speed while swinging her Vire Drucken towards its right. Naturally, Megiddo attempted to intercept it using its right hand.

  “Naive!” (Shia)

  It looks like the attack was just a feint as Shia spins and uses the momentum to unch herself above Megiddo and pn to attack from above while amplifying herself with gravity magic.

  Megiddo, however, didn’t move to block or dodge and unched his left fist in front of Shia’s warhammer while smiling ecstatically.

  As its fist and Shia’s hammer cshes with each other, it generated shockwaves enough to violently crack the ground as Megiddo’s fist stopped Shia’s momentum and pushed Shia back to her original position.

  “HAHAHA! That’s a good move you got there oi!” (Megiddo)

  “Grrh, you even overpowered that?! Well, it’s time for my secret move!” (Shia)

  Shia felt irritated that her attacks didn’t work. Knowing that it was still not enough, she took out many rge metal balls and attached half of them to her hammer head.

  “You know, you can always come and attack me, you know desu?” (Shia)

  “Ah? I won’t do that shit, now hurry up and finish your preparation!” (Megiddo)

  “Heh, you got some guts waiting for your enemies to prepare, I give you that.” (Shia)

  As Shia was done preparing her arsenals, she then lifted her hammer and tapped it onto her shoulder with her right hand while her left hand taunt Megiddo.

  “Now come War King! I’m not done yet!” (Shia)

  “Now that’s more like it! ORAAA!!!” (Megiddo)

  Megiddo accepts Shia’s taunt as it charges towards her in a simir fashion as Shia and prepares his fist. Shia counterattack by kicking the metal balls towards Megiddo with high speed. Although…

  “Haha! This much is nothing!” (Megiddo)

  Megiddo is not only unscathed from Shia’s metal ball barrage, its speed also didn’t slow down as if the metal balls were just a slight nuisance.

  “Heh, I know about that! Take this!” (Shia)

  “Ooohh!?” (Megiddo)

  Shia, knowing full well that the metal balls weren't enough to stop Megiddo, strafe to the left and attack its abdomen as the metal balls cut off Megiddo’s sight of her and give Shia a chance to attack.

  While the attack nded on Megiddo’s abdomen and generated a loud noise, it didn’t show any sign of injury.

  “Hahaha! So you can do that! Very brilliant!” (Megiddo)

  “Uweegh, you’re still fine even with that desu!? Well I’m not done yet!” (Shia)

  “Uwooh!?” (Megiddo)

  All of the sudden, metal chains circled around Megiddo and tied it in succession while the metal balls formed a very tight and powerful rope bond around the chain, successfully tying Meggido.

  “Now the preparations are complete! here goes nothing!!!” (Shia)

  “Guoh!?” (Megiddo)

  As Megiddo tried to break the chain, Shia lifted and swung around her hammer with Megiddo attached still, the result was Megiddo, a 10 meter tall beast, swung with unperceivable speed by Shia like a cowboy swinging his rope to catch his prey.

  Incidentally, the spectators were taken aback by Shia’s action, even the Nagumo household was surprised while Hajime put his hand on his forehead saying so that’s why she asked me to add those modifications.

  “ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” (Shia)

  While all of this is happening, Shia swung her hammer even harder and generated enough wind to make a tornado while Megiddo is still restrained. The returnees, naturally, looked awe at the sight of a ten meter beast that swung around while the Nagumo household threw really complicated gazes towards Shia.

  “HERE! WE! GOOOOOOO! LEVEL X!!! SHIAAAAAA LOTUUUUUUS!!!” (Shia)

  No that ain’t it such Tsukkomi were thrown at Shia by the returnees the Nagumo household, Kaito, and possibly a certain sensei who’s full of youth.

  As Shia commenced her move name that’s totally taken by a certain manga about ninja, she then swung her hammer upward and released a spinning Megiddo up into the air for about a hundred meters. While Megiddo’s still in the air, Shia leaped upward, surpassed Megiddo and smmed her hammer towards Megiddo’s abdomen once more and sent it flying directly to the ground like a shooting star and made a gigantic hole in the ground while generating a massive earthquake inside the barrier.

  —Shia-style combat Shia lotus

  Just like the move that she took from a certain ninja, Shia restrain her opponent using chain made out of Azantium while the metal balls that also made out of Azantium are used to tie her opponents in order to completely restrain them, although the next move she improvised it by swing it around like a mad cowgirl rather than using her body to spin it around. After a while, Shia then will throw her opponents sky high while spinning and finish it by smming her opponent with her hammer that’s enhanced with gravity magic with level X body strengthening and sublimation magic.

  The results were, naturally, devastating.

  Shia then gracefully falls down on her feet and nds like a professional ballerina while looking very satisfied as she looks at the hole she made using Megiddo while decring her victory by pointing her finger towards the sky while spreading her legs with her other hand on her waist.

  “URIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!” (Shia)

  As she decred herself of her victory against Megiddo like a certain vampire, the returnees and even the Nagumo household excitedly appud Shia’s performance while congratuting her.

  “OOOOHHH!!! As expected of Shia-san!” (Ryutaro)

  “Heh, she is the famed bugged rabbit after all!” (Kousuke)

  “SHIA! SHIA!” (Half of the Returnees)

  “HAULIA! HAULIA!” (Other half of the Returnees)

  All while the Returnees are praising her, the Miyama household sends a really worried gaze towards the battlefield.

  “Hey Alice, isn’t this…” (Kaito)

  “Yeah, this is bad.” (Alice)

  As both Kaito and Alice talk to each other, Hajime and Yue send a questioning gaze towards them.

  “What do you mean by it’s bad? Is it because it has some sort of reputation to hold or something?” (Hajime)

  “No, it’s not that. Well you all will get it soon enough.” (Alice)

  “...Nn? What do you mean by tha—!!??” (Yue)

  As Yue tried to ask Alice, all of the sudden, pilrs of fire erupt from the hole Megiddo is in, and it makes Shia, the returnees and the Nagumo household shocked by the sudden eruption.

  “W-w-wha!? What is that!?” (Shia)

  “So that thing is not done yet!?” (Hajime)

  “Rather than it’s not done yet, this is where it gets serious now. That goril had the tendency to let other people hit her first after all, and after Shia-san sent her flying like that, she was bound to get more excited.” (Alice)

  “Oi oi, all of that and it’s just a warm up for that beast?!” (Hajime)

  “Hey Hajime-kun, isn’t this looking bad for Shia? She’s almost exhausted from doing those extravagant moves right?” (Kaori)

  “...I don’t think she’s gonna listen though…” (Shizuku)

  “Or rather, she’s grinning just like how when thou encounter a difficult situation, Goshujin-sama.” (Tio)

  “...Nn, she’s definitely getting more excited alright.” (Yue)

  Yue’s words were proven to be correct as they saw Shia’s expression as she smiled ferociously towards the fme pilr.

  As the Nagumo household gave up on convincing Shia to return, she was eagerly waiting for Megiddo’s attack.

  “I seriously put almost my all on that attack, and it’s still conscious? Fufu! Now this is getting more exciti—!!??” (Shia)

  Before Shia finished her words, all of the sudden “Future sight” activated and her vision of death appeared, indicating that the next attacks are lethal. Not only that.

  「S-such a wide area!? It’s like Yue-san’s Spatial Magic!? I can’t dodge this!!」

  Realizing that Shia can’t dodge the lethal attacks, she then proceeds to take care of the attack with the way the Bugged Rabbit knows how, by forcing it.

  “SHAORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” (Shia)

  She stepped firmly while embracing the impacts as she punched the air using Vire Drucken and generated a crack on the space to counter the spatial attack just like how she did against Lutria.

  That is by using Shia-style spatial magic Pseudo Gura Gu** Fruit that she developed.

  “Kah…” (Shia)

  While Shia successfully blocked the spatial attack, it leaves her quite exhausted as it takes an absurd amount of mana to use it, not only that, she also used her original magic half teleportation to dodge as Pseudo Gura Gu** Fruit isn’t enough to completely block it.

  The spectators were shocked that Shia used such magic. After all, they knew that if she used that to defend herself, then the opponent also used spatial magic against her. They were also shocked that Megiddo unleashed what is supposed to be spatial attacks toward Shia.

  “Oi oi oi, did that beast just punch through space like our Shia did?” (Hajime)

  “Rather than punch through space, she destroys the space she punches.” (Alice)

  “...Nn? Judging from your expnation, the spatial destruction is just a byproduct?” (Yue)

  “Yes it is Yue-san, after all…” (Alice)

  As Alice expins about the spatial attacks earlier, a figure appears behind the fming tornado

  The being in question is a beautiful woman with a well figured form alongside long and wild crimson colored hair, the same color as Megiddo’s fur. Not only that, she has a big ominous horn overarching her back, like a crown befitting a King, no, an Emperor.

  As she steps out of the fme tornado elegantly, one can feel a tremendous aura from her, truly just like the devil incarnate itself.

  “...She is the beast of destruction after all.” (Alice)

  As she steps out of the fme tornado, Megiddo then looked at Shia that’s on her knees half exhausted after performing Shia-style spatial magic Pseudo Gura Gu** Fruit, while making a devilish smile towards her.

  “HAHAHAHA!!! To think you survive that! You’re quite good oi!” (Megiddo)

  “Cough, you’re seriously a monster you know desu. That punch of yours, it’s just your normal punches isn’t it?” (Shia)

  “Hah! You better believe it.” (Megiddo)

  “Kuh… to think I lost to you like this, I seriously ck training.” (Shia)

  No that ain’t it, and what do you mean by ck of training The Returnees and The Nagumo household tsukkomi’ed and shudder towards Shia’s absurd cim about her ck of training, but for some reason their word didn’t reach her sensitive bunny ears.

  As Megiddo looked at Shia’s exhausted state, she put her hand on her chin while making a pondering expression.

  “Hmm, I wanted to end this with a bang, but I guess you’re tired huh?” (Megiddo)

  Moments ter, she then grinned as she shouted a certain girl’s name.

  “Oi! Shalltear! I know you’re around here somewhere! Come out!” (Megiddo)

  “Yes yes, you want me to heal her right?” (Alice)

  “Ou! You know it!!! I wasn’t satisfied yet!” (Megiddo)

  “Geez, you and your kind of battle junkie are really annoying, fine.” (Alice)

  Alice reluctantly accepts Megiddo’s request and approaches Shia and reverts her back and heals her. Once Alice is done healing Shia, she then widely opens her eyes looking surprised at her invigorated state as if her exhaustion before was a lie.

  “!!! This…” (Shia)

  “Well consider this as a replenishment for round 2.” (Alice)

  As soon as Alice finished healing Shia, she then disappeared and reappeared next to Kaito while preparing a stronger barrier. Moments ter, Shia stands up after she confirms her body’s condition to be sufficient.

  “Fuuu… Why did you do that? You clearly won didn’t you?” (Shia)

  All of the sudden, Shia asked Megiddo for the reason why she gives her a second chance. Megiddo replies to her with an obvious manner.

  “Aa? Are you kidding me? I’m not satisfied after all of that, it’s been a long time since there’s someone powerful enough to survive in front of this form of mine. Besides…” (Megiddo)

  As Megiddo answers Shia’s question in an obvious manner, she then stares at her with her beautiful yet powerful crimson irises straight into Shia’s light blue eyes.

  “...You’re still not satisfied too aren’t you?” (Megiddo)

  “... What do you mean by that?” (Shia)

  “I can feel it, you are the same as me, aren’t you? Wishing for more enemies to fight, to break through your limit, to feel the joy of fighting with all you got till you drop.” (Megiddo)

  “...” (Shia)

  Shia only responds to Megiddo's words with silence. Moments ter, Megiddo decres her words at her while extending her slender arms towards the sky.

  “If that’s your wish… then come at me with all of your strength and guts! Shia Haulia!” (Megiddo)

  “!!!” (Shia)

  “Show it to me! Your strength! Your wits! Your willpower! And most of all, your instinct! Come at me with all of you and I shall do the same! A flower's most beautiful moment is when it’s burning with all of its glory! They said that knowledge is power but the truth is! MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! SHOW YOUR WORTH AND MIGHT TO ME LIKE A BURNING FLOWER! SHIA HAULIA!!!” (Megiddo)

  Ground seemingly shook as Megiddo shouted and decred her words toward Shia. For some reason the returnees and the Nagumo household gnced towards the Miyama household with expressions saying is this guy for real!? The Miyama Household can only avert their gazes towards somewhere.

  As Shia heard Megiddo’s words, she then gnced towards the ground for a moment and stared back at Megiddo in a simir fashion.

  “...You’re right…” (Shia)

  “...Shia?” (Yue)

  “YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I’M NOT DONE WITH JUST THIS!!!” (Shia)

  As Shia bought into Megiddo's provocation, she then unleashed her magic power, ground shook as pale blue magic power rose up and split the sky in half.

  “Oiiiiii, Shiaaaa, would you stop alreadyyy! If you go towards that path you will never return to our lovable and cute bunny rabbit Shia you know~!” (Kaori)

  “Hajime! Stop her quick! If not, Shia as we know will be gone forever!” (Shizuku)

  “I would love to, though I’m kinda curious who wins plus she’ll definitely compin ter so let’s just sit around for a bit longer.” (Hajime)

  “Thou art horrible Goshujin-sama! Is what I would like to sayeth but I also doth think Shia will comply with our request anyway.” (Tio)

  “...Nn, and she definitely won’t back down after that kind of provocation.” (Yue)

  “Uwaaaah! Fight on and beat her into pulp Shia Onee-chan nano!” (Myuu)

  “Myuu!?” (Remia)

  “Awawawa! We need “Not safe for children!-kun” for Myuu-chan quick!” (Aiko)

  As the Nagumo household took a gnce at hyper excited Shia with half exasperated and half lukewarm gaze while Remia and Aiko were trying to stop Myuu from watching, Shia prepared her hammer in the usual manner and prepared for her biggest attack yet.

  “Well since it all came down to this, you better hit her with all you got you buggy rabbit!” (Hajime)

  “... Nn, It’ll be embarrassing if you just ft out give up now so punch her to the moon Shia!” (Yue)

  “Ou! You better believe it desu!” (Shia)

  Shia gives both Hajime and Yue a thumbs up as she finishes her preparation, Megiddo smiles ferociously as she also releases her mana in the simir fashion.

  Ground shatter and hurricane blows where Shia is while the ground where Megiddo stands turns into vapor and more fme pilrs burst out from the ground. The spectacle looks just like a scene where a hero is fighting head to head against a final boss that makes the spectators feel awe by looking at such scenery.

  A breath of a moment ter…

  “SHAORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” (Shia)

  “OOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” (Megiddo)

  Shorter than a blink of an eye, Both Shia and Megiddo march towards each other with blinding speed that even Hajime had trouble following their movement without focus, their cshes generated enough force to blow up the remaining cloud and split the earth in half.

  Although the destruction was overwhelming, the damage did not extend beyond the barrier and the spectators were relieved that there won’t be any damage spread towards them. Yue saw the damage didn’t extend outside the barrier and asked Alice curiously.

  “...Nn? The damage stopped at the barrier, is this barrier special Alice-san?” (Yue)

  “Unn? Ah you mean this barrier? This is a Large-scale Spatial Barrier.” (Alice)

  “Hmm, from what I’ve seen it seems as if the barrier completely separates the battlefield and us completely, doth this barrier have some sort of special ability?” (Tio)

  “Hmm, if you’re asking me about this barrier’s special ability, then I can “alter the reality” that’s inside this barrier.” (Alice)

  ““... Pardon?”” (Yue and Tio)

  Not only Yue and Tio are dumbfounded by Alice’ statement, all of the Nagumo family also turned their heads towards Alice with surprised expressions.

  “Wait wait wait, you can alter reality just like that with this barrier?!” (Hajime)

  “Yes yes, not only that, anything that comes out from this barrier will return to the state before I deploy it so any damage done to either Shia-san and that goril will automatically return back to normal, including Lilia-san’s tattered front wn.” (Alice)

  “So that’s why Lilia-san isn’t panicking when her front yard is getting destroyed.” (Kaori)

  “Ah, I can always ask Luna to fix it with the same spatial barrier so it’s not really a big deal or anything.” (Lilia)

  “... Wait, Luna-san can cast this barrier too?” (Shizuku)

  “Most Count Ranked demons can at least deploy this barrier with ease.” (Alice)

  The Nagumo household can only gnce at Lunamaria who just wryly smiles at them, said smile looks elegant but there’s an immense pressure behind said smile.

  “I am reminded once again that this pce is really insane in its own accord. Like, what the hell is that altercation reality magic bullsh*t, and it’s not even exclusively for a certain individual too…” (Hajime)

  Certainly~ so are the thoughts of the Nagumo household while making a bnk eyes and a dry ugh thinking that there’s not a chance they can have a fair fight against a horde of reality warping monsters roaming around Trinia and relieved that there’s almost no chance they will engage in a fight with said monster under life and death situation.

  While Alice is in the middle of expining the Large-scale Spatial Barrier to the Nagumo family, Shia and Megiddo’s csh were still going strong, crater-making shockwaves were generated, lightning struck the ground near them with fierce force that will take any lifes that dare to get too close towards the csh. Upon closer looks, Shia’s hammer and Megiddo’s fist didn’t even touch each other as the pressure from both side’s attack prevented them.

  Even though at first gnce both of them are evenly matched, Shia was panicking internally under that guise.

  「Gugigigigigigi!!! What the hell’s with this woman’s strength!? I activated all of my buffs and she didn’t even budge! Or rather, she’s pushing me back!?」(Shia)

  “ORAORA!? Is this all you got Shia Haulia!!!” (Megiddo)

  “Grrrr!!!” (Shia)

  Just like what Shia said, she activated her body strengthening magic to level XI with many buffs like sublimation magic and metamorphosis magic to enhance her muscle as well as Last Zell to further increase her monstrous strength and yet the beast of destruction’s strength proved to be too much for even the bugged rabbit.

  Although, even though all seems to be hopeless…

  “Goooo Shiaaaa!!! Kick that damn woman’s ass flying!” (Hajime)

  “Nn! If you don’t do it I’ll send you one serving of seven divine dragons ter so you better win Shia!” (Yue)

  “Win Shia! Proof to her that our bugged rabbit is the strongest in any world!” (Tio)

  “Goooo Shia!!! Just like a maiden in love, charge with all your might!!!” (Kaori)

  “Now that it has come down to this, a woman ought to give her all to win! So go forward Shia!” (Shizuku)

  “You better win okay Shia~, if not sensei will give you more homework for you you know~.” (Aiko)

  “Waaaaa! Shia Onee-chan, win nano!!!” (Myuu)

  “Ara~ Myuu let’s cheer for Shia Onee-chan okay~?” (Remia)

  “Gooooo Shia-saaan!!! Haulia's strongest ought to be better than this!” (Kousuke)

  “SHIA! SHIA!” (half of the returnees)

  “HAULIA! HAULIA!” (Other half of the returnees)

  As Shia heard her cheers of support from her beloved family and friend, she then smiled fearlessly towards Megiddo while gripping her trusted Vire Drucken even stronger.

  “Fufufu.” (Shia)

  “Oh?” (Megiddo)

  “This is very vexing desu. You are stronger than me, in almost every way imaginable. But I can assure you that you will never beat me in one thing desu.” (Shia)

  “Ah? And what is that?” (Megiddo)

  As Megiddo asks Shia in an almost demeaning way, she then gres towards Megiddo with an extreme firm dedication and beautiful light blue irises.

  “AND! THAT IS! GUTS! SHAORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” (Shia)

  As Shia decres her words, pale blue magic power bursts out from her body even further, and then…

  – – Soul magic activated! surpassing the limit, and further beyond that……body strengthening Level XII activated!!

  All of the sudden, the unthinkable happened, just like how Shia went beyond when she fought with Lutria, she went above and beyond even further, unlocked Body Strengthening Level XII, her muscle is twitching with joy for its growth!

  “At this moment! Nothing can stop me! Nothing can beat me! This! Is! MY POWAAAAAAAAA!!!!” (Shia)

  “Ohh!?” (Megiddo)

  All of the sudden, Shia pushes back Megiddo, to the extent that her body moves backwards from Shia’s tremendous attack and cornered Megiddo.

  “Fufufu…” (Megiddo)

  “!?” (Shia)

  “HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! TO THINK YOU CAN GO EVEN FURTHER! YOU HAVE MY RESPECT SHIA HAULIA!” (Megiddo)

  As Megiddo ughs maniacally toward Shia’s growth, she then positions herself and stops her body from moving backwards. She held on, although barely.

  Even though the result is obvious that Shia is winning, somehow, Megiddo is not worried. In fact, her devilish smile widened even further.

  “Aaahhhh, how long has it been since I was pushed to my limit like this? How long has it been since I fought someone who can evenly match me in this form?” (Megiddo)

  Cold sweat poured out from Shia’s forehead as her Body Strengthening XII almost ran out due to severe consumption of mana, she pushed her hammer against Megiddo’s fist even further to finish the match quickly.

  And all of the sudden, many cheers from unknown people came storming from the other side of the Lilia’s mansion’s front wn.

  “GOOOO WAR KING-SAMA!!! SHOW THAT SMUG RABBIT THAT YOU’RE THE STRONGEST!!!“ (Bacchus)

  “ORAAA EVERYONE! SHOW YOUR VIGOR AND CHEERS FOR WAR KING-SAMA!!! GIVE ME YOUR WARCRY!!!” (Kong)

  “Ohhh! That little rabbit is seriously tough, isn’t it! I wished to have a spar with her after War King-sama!” (Agni)

  “Umu, that rabbit girl is suited to become War King-sama’s subordinates, she might even become an executive in a short time, I’m very excited to have a bout with her in the near future.” (Epsilon)

  “Oya, looks like that young girl could possibly become even stronger than this uncle, the new generation is truly ahead of the older one.” (Ozma)

  “WAR KING-SAMA BANZAI! WAR KING-SAMA BANZAI!” (Megiddo’s subordinates)

  Apparently the five executives of War King’s camp came to Lilia’s mansion to cheer on Megiddo just like how the underlings cheer on their anego. Lilia can be seen downing even more pills but nobody noticed that except for Kaito and Luna who are trying to stop Lilia.

  Megiddo heard her subordinate’s cheers and warcry and smiled, unlike her previous smile that’s devilish and almost demonic looking, her smile looks gentle like anego feeling proud of her underling.

  “Well, those are a bunch of rowdy bastards aren’t they?” (Megiddo)

  “Desu?” (Shia)

  “And one more thing that you’re mistaken about.” (Megiddo)

  “?!” (Shia)

  A Moment ter, Megiddo’s skin and sclera turn into deep crimson color just like her hair, her fingernail darken and her horn elongated even further towards her back, making her look even more demonic than before.

  With a new form, she then decres in front of flustered Shia with her demonic but sane eyes.

  “YOU’RE NOT! THE ONLY ONE! WITH GUTS!!! ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!” (Megiddo)

  “Nuuu!?” (Shia)

  Shocked and panicked by Megiddo’s sudden increase in her strength even further, Shia’s hammer was pushed back and the situation had flipped towards Megiddo’s victory.

  “What the hell, you can go even stronger!? That’s unfair desu!?” (Shia)

  Although Shia curses under her breath, she still holds off against Megiddo’s seemingly peerless strength and holds back as best as she can.

  “But… I wouldn’t yield with just this! I’ll fight back! Until the end! SHAORAAAAAAA!!!” (Shia)

  With unwavering determination still, she forcefully pushes her hammer’s limit even further and attempts to overpower Megiddo’s strength once again.

  And all of the sudden…

  *crack

  “...huh?” (Shia)

  An ominous sound appears, and it came not from Shia’s surroundings but…

  *crack crack crack

  “N-no way desu!?” (Shia)

  Crack appears from Shia’s beloved hammer Vire Drucken, her gift from Hajime before their fight against the mad god of Tortus, the seemingly unbreakable hammer made out of Azantium, the strongest metal in Tortus that saved Shia so many times… cracked in front of the beast of destruction’s mighty strength.

  Before Shia can even think, the cracks spread throughout her hammer. Moments ter…

  “!!??” (Shia)

  Suddenly, future vision was activated, and what’s inside her vision was…

  *BAAAMM

  Shia’s beloved hammer… broke…

  “UGAAAH!!!” (Shia)

  Megiddo’s fist didn’t stop its momentum, she broke Shia’s hammer and threw her punch straight into Shia’s abdomen.

  Even though Shia’s future vision was activated, Megiddo’s fist outspeed Shia’s reaction, and the result was Megiddo’s attack nded on her with unbelievable force and broke all of Shia’s ribs.

  But Megiddo didn’t stop at only one punch as she grabbed Shia’s hand tightly to prevent her from flying away.

  “ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!!!” (Megiddo)

  Flurry of punches assaults Shia in less than a nanosecond. It was so fast that it even exceeded many times of speed of light. Megiddo then delivered her st blow and punched Shia straight towards the spectators with blinding speed.

  The spectators were in massive shock as they saw tattered Shia flying towards them, but before Shia crashed towards them, her wounds vanished as she passed by the Large-scale Spatial Barrier as if her tattered body was an illusion.

  Although Shia’s not in imminent danger, the velocity of her speed hasn’t gone down. The Nagumo household reacted to save Shia but before they could even move…

  “Geez, this is why I hated to be a handyman for this kind of thing.” (Alice)

  Although Alice bmes under her breath, she still gracefully caught Shia without harming her. Before the returnees and the Nagumo household can even comprehend what’s going on, cheers were thrown towards Megiddo from her subordinates.

  “Oraa! Everyone! Let’s throw a party here! It’s okay right Duchess Albert?” (Megiddo)

  “Uweeh!? Y-yes War King-sama, b-but please let me first attend to my injured guest!” (Lilia)

  “Ou! You do that then, let it rip y’all rowdy bunches!!” (Megiddo)

  As Megiddo and her subordinates are all having a party celebrating her victory, the returnees and the Nagumo household run towards Alice with the unconscious Shia in her arms.

  As they all saw this, they had processed what had happened.

  Shia… lost… in terms of brute force…

  While it’s not that unusual for the War King camp, the returnees and the Nagumo household were in utter shock that Shia, the one who can overpower even Hajime, their Demon King, in terms of brute strength… lost in her own game.

  “...I know you all are in shock right now but we should change our location.” (Alice)

  As such, the returnees and the Nagumo household follow Alice to the mansion while looking at Shia with worried gaze.

  Amongst the crowd, a certain vampire princess was still in deep shock on what had happened in front of her eyes, so much so that she’s in a trance-like state without anyone knowing...

  .

  .

  .

  (End of fshback and now returning to Yue’s PoV)

  …Now I remember everything that transpired yesterday, to think that the shock from Shia’s loss against Megiddo-san is enough to erase my memory is the cause of the bnk page in my diary.

  Though that’s what had happened yesterday, Shia… lost against Megiddo-san.

  It’s not like there’s an underhanded tactic or anything, in fact they both have a fair fight, it's just that Megiddo-san is just stronger than Shia.

  But I guess that’s what makes Shia even more frustrated.

  Thinking about it again, there’s not a lot of beings in our homeworld that can match with Shia in terms of brute and raw strength so Shia is pretty confident that she can win if it’s a straight on physical fight. But here in Trinia, such logic wouldn’t come to pass. Her st fight with Megiddo-san tells me so.

  And so, I then approach Shia who is still hugging Kaito-san begging him to let her fight against Megiddo-san once more.

  “...Shia.” (Yue)

  “Y-Y-Yue-san! Please help me convince Kaito-san desu! Surely—” (Shia)

  “[Shut up for a bit]” (Yue)

  “Mmhh!?” (Shia)

  As I silence Shia with my Divine Edict and block her mouth with Holy Chain, I then walk towards her and slowly peel her from Kaito-san.

  “... I’m sorry Kaito-san, she’s just a bit frustrated that she lost.” (Yue)

  “U-unn, I’m okay with it, though is it fine if you let her go first? It seems like she still had something to say.” (Kaito)

  As Kaito-san pointed towards my behind, I then saw a disappointing bugged rabbit trying to break the holy chain that covered her mouth.

  “... I can only see an undisciplined buggy rabbit, I dunno what you are talking about.” (Yue)

  “A-ahaha.” (Kaito)

  “Mhhh-Mh!!?? Puhah! That’s cold even for you Yue-san desu!” (Shia)

  Ah, she broke out of that huh. As expected of a Buggy Rabbit who boasts immense strength.

  “Please hear me out Yue-san, please help me convince Kaito-san to let me have a rematch please!” (Shia)

  “... And why must I do that?” (Yue)

  “L-look Yue-san, I know that I should’ve let it be, especially since I also troubled Lilia-san very much. But I can’t just let this be desu! I feel like if I fight with her just a bit longer I can unlock something deep within me desu!” (Shia)

  “Oi, you say that as if you had a revetion but in reality you just want to fight the War King for fun again aren’t you?” (Hajime)

  Nn, as Hajime points this matter out, Shia can only reply to Hajime with a silence while averting her gaze towards her left.

  “And not only that, you even made Duchess Lilia worry sick and you owe the Phantasmal King for saving you and restoring Lilia-san’s tattered front wn from your so-called ‘spar’ ." (Hajime)

  “Ugghh…” (Shia)

  “That’s not all, when you wake up, you run here as fast as you can, making a big mess in the hall and just barge into his living room, and beg him to arrange a meeting with the War King again.” (Hajime)

  “…” (Shia)

  “Do you understand what you're doing right now is extremely annoying and troubling? Lilia-san hasn't even got out of her room trying to sort out the mess. I can even hear her munching stomach ache medicine when I pass by her office just like Fukube-san.” (Hajime)

  “I’M VERY SORRY!!!” (Shia)

  Nn, looks like Hajime’s word got through Shia as she genuinely apologized for her misconduct.

  “Anyway, sorry for bothering you. C’mon, let’s go back.” (Hajime)

  “E-e-erm, if I may—” (Shia)

  “Ah? You want me to pluck your bunny rabbit hair till there’s none left?” (Hajime)

  “Ah no, Never mind desu…” (Shia)

  “...Nn, let’s obediently go back, I’ll share my cake with you ter.” (Yue)

  “Yue-saaaaaaan, ueeeegh…” (Shia)

  “...Get your snot away from me.” (Yue)

  As I cleaned myself with magic while patting Shia’s back, we decided to go back and go about our day in Lilia-san’s mansion.

  “Haaaaah, I shouldn’t be doing this.” (Kaito)

  “...Nn?” (Yue)

  “Alice.” (Kaito)

  “Yes yes, you want me to arrange for their visit to the Demon Realm right?” (Alice)

  “Yeah, can you do it? I’ll pay you for it.” (Kaito)

  “Alright, you want me to go ahead and be their tour guide too?” (Alice)

  “That’ll be great, thank you Alice.” (Kaito)

  “No problem, this Alice-chan will do it just for her beloved Kaito-san~” (Alice)

  Before we left Kaito-san’s living room, he then asked Alice-san to arrange some sort of tour to the Demon Realm. Curiously, we then asked him and Alice-san for more information.

  “Oi oi, it’s called the Demon Realm right? I know there are many cities there but are you sure it’s 100% safe?” (Hajime)

  “Well, there’s a lot of monsters there that are stronger than your average monster here in the Human Realm but it should be no problem since you all are capable of using magic. Furthermore I will be your guide so safety is never a problem to begin with.” (Alice)

  “Uumm Phantasmal King-sama, I thought visiting the Demon Realm was pretty expensive according to Lilia-san’s expnation?” (Shizuku)

  “Well it is retively expensive for commoners, but it’s also because you need a permit to visit the Demon Realm that needs 10 days to be accepted which I can give you all with no issue. Besides, there’s not only that Goril bunny that wants to visit the Demon Realm, we have the second Maid fanatic and a Vampire magic nerd, so you all will visit the Demon Realm sooner or ter.” (Alice)

  Nn, while I feel like Alice-san lightly dissed us, she does prove a point, Hajime already asked Ein-san to meet for Maid reted stuff that neither me nor the wives~ want to understand, while I on the other hand want to learn more about magics here from Isis-san, who lives in the Demon Realm.

  Not only that, the Returnees also become bored by the same scenery here so a tour to the Demon Realm might bring in some fresh air to them.

  “Hehehe, you better watch your back Megiddo-san, I will meet you and prevail next time.” (Shia)

  “Ah? What is that you’re saying?” (Hajime)

  “Nothing, nothing at all desu.” (Shia)

  Anyway, ignoring what this buggy rabbit that boasts immense strength says, I’m also very interested in visiting the Demon Realm.

  And so, we pnned our visitation with Kaito-san and Alice-san today and went back orderly.

  Afterword:
