“Creating a giant golem all of a sudden like that, that’s incredible, desu.”
“It’s like a giant monster battle.”

Regardless of what you say, it’s more like a robot battle.

Near’s operational ability is incredible, but the clay puppets are gradually getting whittled away. Looks like the durability and destructive power of the dragon and giant skeleton are exceptionally higher. They won’t be able to keep this up for long.

“Near, how much time can you buy?”
“My apologies, de gozaimasen. I’ll only be able to hold them for a few minutes.”
“That’s plenty. [Scatter Flame Bullets]!”

Thanks to Urd, I can invoke scatter flame bullet-san without needing to write the formula on my arms and legs. It is also the only technique I can turn to without depending on Near’s support.

I invoke [Scatter Flame Bullets] through my feet and zip towards the black dress.

“Restrain him!”
“[Burning Flame Wall], [Burning Flame Wall]! [Scatter Flame Bullets], [Scatter Flame Bullets]!”

I protect myself from the spearing branches and lashing vines with walls of flame and intercept the mud wall and stones being shot from the ground with scatter flame bullet-san. Those that slip through, I avoid.

“Kuh, Dragon King! Golden Giant Soldier (Gougan)!”
“I won’t allow it!”

The dragon and giant target me, but Near has the clay puppets tackle them and they vanish into the forest.

“O– [Obey me]!”
“No way!”

I come up to the black dress and clench my fist. She twists to avoid my punch, but such an amateurish dodge isn’t enough to escape my sights! 

Target just beneath the chin. Swing, brushing past as I connect!

“Gender equality fist!”

It’s settled! Is what I think, but… Ahre? This feels like… a rubber tire?

When I look, I don’t see anything, but something is stopping my fist. I couldn’t reach her chin.

“That order just now wasn’t for you, wa. I was commanding the air around us.”
“A wall of air? Isn’t that overpowered?”

Immediately after I mumble that, I am blown away by a gust of wind and slam against the triple barrier protecting the class representative and everyone else.

That hurt.

More than my body, it’s my hair that hurts, specifically the area Urd grabbed when I was blown away.

“Goshujin-sama, are you okay?”
“Ah, my wounds healed right away thanks to the substitution tag. Urd, Near, how are you guys?”
“I was holding onto goshujin-sama’s hair, so I’m al–right! A few strands ended up coming out though…”
“This guy…”
“Master, your pocket also kept me safe. However, the clay puppets have been destroyed.”
“Seriously?”

As the ground shakes from heavy stomping, the dragon and giant skeleton return.

Aren’t we just back where we started? No, I’m actually a bit worse off. I already invoked my substitution tag and I revealed that card. 

“Yuuki-san, I will buy some time, desu. I want you to take everyone and escape.” (Owl)
“I refuse to go and leave Owl behind, wa. I’ll stay behind too. Besides, to begin with, Owl and I should have been the ones dealing with her. That’s why, please leave this to us.” (Uruna)
“Hmm… do you 2 have a plan?” (Yuuki)
“Not at all, but we’ll buy you time no matter what!” (Uruna)
“We were able to recover some magical power too, desu. We can do this, desu!” (Owl)

Uruna-chan and Owl-chan give passionate speeches from within the triple barrier, but there’s no way I can allow that. If anything, having allowed them to resolve themselves to such an extent… is my failing.

“Hey, you 2, my bad. Everything’s fine, I’m going to get serious now.”

It’s time to stop fighting in a way that makes others worry. I’ve got to end this fast and get back to the survival recreation.

“Near, Urd, we’re using it.”
“Understood.”

“Fuu fuu fu, time to unveil our ace!”

I imagine the shape, Urd gathers a vast amount of magical power from nature, and Near controls it. When we practiced it earlier, we could only maintain it for about 3 minutes, but that should be more than enough. 

“Dragon King! Golden Giant Soldier (Gougan)! Stop him!”
The black dress, somehow picking up on what we’re up to, gives out her order in a hurry.

She has some good intuition, but it’s a little too late.

While the dragon’s tail and the giant’s fist approach, I gently swing the knife that materialized in my hand.

“[Kamui Makiri (Divine Knife)].”

The instant its tip grazes the tail and fist, the dragon and giant skeleton both burst into tiny particles and vanish.

T/N: Well, that’s crazy strong.
