When I woke up, I could feel Yurina moving right beside me. “You know, I was thinking,” ”…What’s up?”
“Isn’t it a loss for the kids on duty the day before the event to not be able to cuddle with Sousuke in the morning?”
It was probably a joke to ease the tension before the raid, but it felt like she was really feeling it.
“If Yurina’s okay with it, we can make time for it later.” ”…We have a deal.”
She whispered happily in a small voice.
“Yeah, we have a deal. But right now—”
“I know. We have to get Chiyu to cleanse us first.” ”…Yeah, that’s right.”
We might have to do that before the Behemoth battle.
We both had sweated a lot… When we were talking like that. ”-----------------” An earthquake happened. No.
If the mountain was alive, it might have sounded like this.
It was a huge, deep roar that accompanied it.
The ground wasn’t shaking; it had been shaken.
Because of the Behemoth’s massive steps.
I rushed to the window and threw it wide open, shouting so everyone could hear.
“I’ll set up the equipment with the storage rearrangement function! Everyone, get out of the house!”
I immediately rearranged the storage to get myself and Sera’s clothes on, and then headed out of the room.
Almost everyone came rushing out into the hallway at the same time.
Without exchanging words, we all ran for the front door. The shadow was moving.
When a large cloud covered the sun, the brightness dropped dramatically.
It seemed to be trying to cover our base.
When I saw it, I thought of the giant ancient dragons that appeared in monster-hunting games.
Well, the Behemoth was an elephant, but the size was the same.
In the game, the hunter, who was my avatar, would bravely swing his weapon at the giant ancient dragon’s feet, but that would be impossible in reality. “Sou-kun.” Senyuu grabbed my hand.
—Right. We can’t afford to be stunned.
「Let’s ride on Micron and Mashiro and run for it!」
I immediately pack up the house and the surrounding objects.
Unfortunately, the chickens can’t come with us.
At least I can free them by packing up their coop, allowing them to escape.
Mashiro arrives with Maiko, Shion, Juumo, Loa, and Genju.
I, Senyuu, Shinpo, and Lumina-sensei each jump onto Micron, who flies over.
The shadow completely engulfs us.
Looking up, Behemoth’s foot is approaching.
――Since there’s a barrier, Behemoth shouldn’t be able to ‘see’ us.
In other words, it just happened to be placed nearby and took a single step. I can’t help but curse, “What a terrible initial setup…”
Mashiro and Micron are flying away from Behemoth at full speed, but its sheer size makes it hard to judge distance, so it feels like we’re not getting any farther away.
「Hmm. Since you’ve built a harem, you’re getting jealous.」
Chiyu is operating normally, but her body is shaking.
“It’s not Saousa’s fault!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! It’s all because I asked you guys to help, Professor!”
Deepo protects me, and Lumina-sensei blames herself.
“It’s not anyone’s fault. But we’re going to get crushed if we stay like this!” Serina shouts.
Her barrier, too, can’t withstand Behemoth’s trampling, and… Wait.
“Serina! Can you make a barrier inside another barrier!?” ”…! I’ll try!”
For example, if she sets up five layers of barriers, the outermost barrier could distribute the pressure to the remaining four layers, right?
Her barrier is invisible, so we can’t tell how high it is.
But the black sole of the approaching foot seems to have stopped, just a little bit.
”~~~~~! I’m sorry, but seven layers is all I can do…! And they’re about to break!”
“Masiro! Mikuron! Please!” The servants pray as they shout.
The two phantoms pushed past their limits and accelerated even further. “It’s no good!”
Seraena shouted, and Behemoth’s legs started moving again. But―we made it!
We successfully escaped outside the range of Behemoth’s feet.
“Seraena! Sorry, but one more!” “I know!”
Seraena immediately deployed a new barrier.
The next moment, the ground shook violently, and the surrounding trees were crushed, knocked down, and blown away.
Dust rose up, and at the boundary of our barrier, everything was repelled.
Seraena must have set it to reject any intrusion other than ours.
Not only living things, but also specific materials can be repelled.
And since we’re inside the barrier, Behemoth won’t find us.
It lowered its large nose without noticing us―and dragged part of the forest into its mouth as if digging into the ground.
That area will take four times longer to regenerate.
Even if the Behemoth isn’t targeting us, we can’t just leave it alone.
I take a deep breath and look around at my companions.
Everyone except for Seirin and me is wearing pajamas.
When we store the house, their clothes are also stored.
I store each person’s clothes and reconfigure their uniforms without wasting any time.
It’s like a change of clothes in a video game; I switch their outfits in an instant.
It’s a skill I’ve developed from repeatedly storing and reconfiguring clothes.
By the way, I left Roa in her maid outfit.
Luminas-sensei, the only adult among us, is properly dressed in her teacher’s uniform.
”…If So-kun gets his hands on us, will we be stripped in an instant?”
“Hahaha, I wouldn’t do that.”
Chiyu’s usual demeanor is reassuring.
I act just like I always do.
“Ha ha, it’s really convenient. Even in a time like this, you really are amazing, Soh.” Shion also smiled softly. “Soh, Soh!”
Even if he’s not in the mood, Kuu joins in.
”…Thank you, Soh-san. Wearing pajamas outside is really unsettling.”
Shinpo also smiled while calming her breathing.
“I was a bit surprised, but you’re still the same. Let’s get ready and—let’s defeat the Behemoth.” Everyone nodded strongly.
So please rest assured that we’ll return to our usual ‘Easy Island Life.’
I hope you enjoy how Soh and the others get through this event.
