Chapter 35: The Kisaragi Itsuki Way of Life

“Flame Bee Homurabachi”

Its initial speed lightly exceeds the speed of sound!

If you can avoid it, try to avoid it!

The Raikou-Douji, who saw my high energy, however, flashed lightning on his body surface.

Buzz!

At the moment the sound of thunder, which was several hundred times the sound of static electricity in winter, exploded, I saw something unbelievable.

My “Flame Bee [Homurabachi]” had washed over the surface of Raikou-douji’s body.

“It was a good spell. But It’s the law of nature that the lightning causes the Flame! Therefore, it’s only natural that flame cannot defeat the lightning!”

“……!?”

How is that possible?

I swallowed down the comment that was about to go up to my throat.

What kind of absurd logic is that! It can’t be true!

But it is true that my magic was prevented.

I don’t know what happened, but if the flames didn’t work, I’ll just have to do something else.

I don’t know if it’s “fruitful” or what, but interrupting the party and talking about people like they’re strawberries ready to be eaten. Are you a fruit farmer?

The thread silvate I created, which is less than a millimeter thick, goes straight for the head of the Raikou-douji.

It was like a laser pointer.

Do you think it’s a thin guide thread silvate?

Or does it look like an unreliable guide thread?

But the former is right and the latter is definitely wrong.

The printing company I worked for in my previous life was a very small company with deep roots in the local community.

Because it was a small company, it had strong ties with local small and medium-sized companies, and I learned a lot there. For example, there’s a metalworking machine that can cut through a hole of less than 1 mm by pressurizing water strongly and releasing it through the hole.

I have only heard about it and have never seen the real thing, but once you understand how it works, there is no problem.

It’s water that creates.

It’s the wind that pushes it out.

“Sky Piercing.”

A moment later, a high-pressure stream of water rushes through the guiding thread silvate.

Its initial speed lightly exceeded that of the Flame Bee.

Raikou-douji’s eyes widen slightly and he reflexively raises his right arm. A wall of lightning is created, but my Sky Piercing is stronger.

It cut through the wall and pierced through the forehead of Raikou-douji.

Boom! A hole is made in his head with a sound.

But he doesn’t fall.

“I’ve seen curses that makes water fly quickly so many times.”

Raikou-douji’s purple electricity explodes.

…… still not enough?

But then, I’ll just increase the firepower.

“Be proud! Child wappa is the fastest and the strongest!』

A moment later, Raikou-douji took a step forward.

Does he hate my magic and intends to turn it into a close combat?

“Ah… really? Thank you.”

But of course I won’t let him do what he wants to do.

I’ve already made my next move while I’m talking.

I’m going to get this guy away from here anyway.

I randomly kicked a rock that was lying in the yard.

It was a natural action that any child would do.

That’s probably why. Raikou-douji’s reaction was delayed.

But, of course, my guiding thread silvate was wrapped around it.

“Hmm!』

Raikou-douji, who noticed it late, jumped off the ground, but I was one move faster than him.

Dontsu！！！！

The moment the stone touched Raikou-douji, it exploded!

It didn’t damage the black armor, but it still blew the body away!

It was an application of the acorn bomb that the monster had used when we fought in the forest and it worked well for the first time I did it. I found out after using it that it’s not that difficult magic.

All you have to do is wrap a nearby object and put a “transformation” into it.

It’s simple, but that’s why things around you can be turned into weapons.

That’s a threat.

Seeing Raikou-douji blown away, I shouted to my mother, who was sitting there clutching her naginata.

“Mom! Get away while you still can!”

“I-Itsuki! But!”

“Go get Papa and the others! I’ll stop them myself!”

“I can’t just run away and leave you!”

“Come on!Before he comes back!”

My mother seemed to ponder over my screams

She was wondering if it was okay for her to leave me here to go call my father. That hesitation was floating in the air.

Why don’t you go quickly! I thought of my mother’s words when I was first reborn in this world.

The words “May you grow up safe and sound”

……Yes, that’s right.

Mom is traumatized by her dead child.

So she thinks I might die here.

What she needs is not impatience. What she needs is reassurance.

“…… is fine, Mom.”

“But…”

“I exorcised a Fifth Rank monster. Even if I can’t exorcise it, I’ll run away if I see an opening.”

“…………”

My mother was silent.

Then, one more push.

“Mom, It’s not just me. There’s also Hina to worry about. You’re the only one who can get them to safety.”

“I understand.”

My mother finally managed to swallow all her emotions and stood up.

“You must run away!”

She shouted and ran to Hina.

“Momoka-san, please get Aya-chan to a safe place as soon as possible. Also, I want you to go get Renji-san.”

“Eh… I understand.”

The shadow monster was nowhere to be found.

It’s hiding somewhere watching over the battle between me and Raikou-douji.

Momoka-san, who can already move, nodded more quickly than my mother and said the same thing to help Aya-chan.

As I watched her, Raikou-douji walked back to me.

“Letting the weak escape? Well, good. It’s not time to eat yet.』

“You say that so often. Even though you overlooked it.”

Raikou-douji could have come back here anytime he wanted.

The fact that he didn’t do so and waited for my mother and Momoka-san to escape means that he overlooked them.

“Mm! Because help is not coming. It doesn’t matter if I overlooked their escape.』

“……?”

“The young one in the forest did it. He created subordinates and drew the attention of the exorcists. I just did the same thing.”

“…… I see.”

No wonder my father never came home at all.

“But! Laughing my ass off! I’ve heard the child-wolf’s words from a while ago. Do you think you can escape from me? Do you think that a hunter who has once bitten his prey will let it go?』

“No, I have no intention of escaping.”

……Did he not hear what I just said?

“Because I told you earlier that I would never forgive you.”

I said I would never forgive him.

Running away was no longer an option for me.

“And the reason I let my mother and the others go wasn’t to get them out of here.”

The air shook with a shudder.

No, I made it tremble.

“I’m trying to get them away from my magic.”

A moment later, the sky fell.

The guiding thread silvate was tied to Raikou-douji, and on the other side was a shooting star created by attribute change: earth.

–Fall, [Meteoric star].

“Hm. A night-crawling meteor, huh?』

Seeing the star falling from the sky, Raikou-douji tries to leave the place, but the magic moves according to the guiding thread silvate. He cannot escape unless he disconnects the thread-silvate when he escapes.

And there is no way to cut off the thread silvate.

“I see. So you are going to bind the silvate to me, and use it as a spell to call the stars to life. At your age, you have the intent to kill. It was the right decision to come hunting early.』

However, Raikou-douji looked up at the falling Meteorite Nagareboshi without showing any sign of surprise, and then, Bajaj! and let the purple lightning run down his arm.

A moment later, at the same time, the guiding thread silvate wrapped around his arms and legs.

“But if it’s only a curse of this level, I’ll accept it head on.』

Dontsu!!!!!!

A shockwave rushed through me!

A tremendous sound echoed in the pit of my stomach, an impact that would have blown me off the spot if I hadn’t hit the ground with the guiding thread silvate.

I’m dropping a meteor.

There was no way to stop it.

But…

“Excellent! Good! Sho!!!』

Raikou-douji caught the Meteorite Nagareboshi.

Of course, he wasn’t unharmed.

The right half of his body was burned off, and black bones were visible from the inside. Only about 30% of the head was left, and the single remaining horn was broken from the middle. A black vapor or smoke, which could be considered magic power, was rising from his body, and he didn’t appear to be in any way safe.

However, the monster is standing in the crater of the falling meteor pit with both of its legs.

And the moment the purple lightning burst …… it was as if the wound was being repaired, like a video playing in reverse.

“Let’s introduce ourselves again. There’s only one 6th rank monster. I am the monster who masters the curse of lightning and hunts exorcists.”

Ah, I see.

So this is the one.

“My name is Raikou-douji.”

A monster that has killed and eaten hundreds of exorcists and gained strength.

It attracts the attention of numerous exorcists with its wisdom and hunts its prey with overwhelming power.

This is the “Sixth Rank.

This is the Named.

It’s the highest rank of monsters.

“I see that this was your highest firepower. But it will not work on me.』

But what does it matter?

What is the highest rank of monsters?

If I give up because of that, if I run away because of that – what the hell am I fighting for?

“I told you, there is no hunter who is hunted by his prey.』

“But I didn’t say anything.”

My magic overflows.

To this guy who ruined the party we all prepared hard for.

To the guy who tried to kill my precious mother.

And most of all, to the guy who thinks he can eat me…

“Meteorite is the most powerful firepower ever!”

I’ll show him the fruits of my labor.
