270-Squatting with water




 
Okay, now let's do this, okay?

 The Elinora sister approaches with a wry smile on her face.

 As a rule, there are no close combat attacks or entanglement techniques, but there is a fearfulness that exudes from what she will do.

 I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it, but I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

 The only way for me to survive here is to use my magic.

 I resolve to back step and get away from them.

 Then, Elinora sister dashes in to close the distance to keep me from escaping. Naturally, I expected that to happen, so I immediately activated my water magic.

 I created five water globes around me and sent them flying at Elinora's sister as she came toward me.

 As expected of Elinora, she was surprised by this, and she hurriedly slammed on the brakes to evade the action.

''You! You've done your magic!

I'm not saying you can't use magic.

'You said it! If that's the case, I'll use the wooden sword over here too!

Wait a minute. It's a water fight, okay? How do you get the idea of using a wooden sword!

 It's still understandable that they would try to win the game by using water magic. After all, water magic is the most efficient way to control water, so it's a natural idea to use it. But the wooden sword, which has nothing to do with that, is different. As expected, I don't think that has too much to do with the water throwing contest. It's a weapon, a weapon.

I just use what I'm good at, just like you use what you're good at!

 While making such an absurd claim, Elinora sister holds the wooden sword that is worn at her waist.

 I can understand what sister Elinora has to say, but I can't accept it.

 It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

 It is doubtful that even that will be protected when both parties are so desperate.

 Anyway, it's dangerous to let Elinora's sister get close to you.

 I invoke water magic and make ten water balls float around me.

 And then I sent five of them to Elinora's sister and the rest to Luna-san.

''Luna! I've been over there too!

...magic.

 At the sound of Sister Elinora's voice, Luna-san notices the approach of the water ball and takes a large distance away from Eric.

 Then, the battle is interrupted and Eric hurries over to us.

''Alfreet!''

First, Luna. I'll use my magic to push you over the edge and you'll finish him off.

I'm on it!

 I don't know if he got the message from just such a short strategy from me, but Eric left my side and looked for an opening for Luna-san.

''Hmph, there's no way such a slow-moving water ball could hit you.

 Sister Elinora snickers as she easily avoids the five water balls that flew straight at her.

 Gee, do you think so, Sister Elinora? Then let's get that perception reaffirmed.

 As I moved my finger, the water ball that Elinora sister ducked changed its trajectory.

''Huh! They're coming after me!

 Perhaps surprised by the water ball that suddenly changed its trajectory and tracked her, Sister Elinora dashed vigorously from that spot. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

 As expected of Elinora sister, she is running at a speed comparable to that of the ground, even though she is in the sea.

 I've always been confident in my ability to control my magic, but this is the first time I've ever seen it move at this level of speed.

 I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few hours of sleep. You don't need to hit it now, just keep sticking to your back and put pressure on it.

 While I continue to track Elinora sister with the water ball, I continue to make Luna-san track the water ball as well.

''I can't shake it off.

 This one doesn't have the explosive speed and sharp turns of Elinora's sister, so it's very easy to chase her.

 But when I was almost there, I was ducking with my flexible bodywork.

 As I expected, Elinora's friend is the only one with unusually high physical ability.

 If you concentrate on Luna-san alone, of course you can finish her off, but for now we're team players.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get the most out of it.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of how fast you can move, but this is a sea of wave resistance. If you move around, you will be exhausted.

"Huh!

 As I was thinking about Luna-san in such a way, Sister Elinora cut through the water ball that was tracking her as she ran.

 The water ball that was hardened by magic power crumbles down by it, but I instantly regenerate it by using magic power to bring it under control. I'm going to be able to use it to chase after Elinora's sister again as a water ball.

''In that case, why don't I go after you!

 Perhaps using the time lag before it regenerates, sister Elinora kicks off the seawater.

 A bullet that is much faster and higher in mass than when she defeated Brother Silvio.

 However, if it's water, it's easy to deal with. I envelop the flying seawater with my magical power.

 That's all it takes to bring the seawater under my control.

 And I send it flying to Elinora sister in return.

''Already! It's tricky! You're wasting your time and dexterity with magic!

 Then Sister Elinora retreated significantly and avoided it.

 As it is, I let her track it just like a water ball.

 Okay, while I'm taking away Elinora's time, it's Luna.

 I create a new water ball and send it to Luna-san.

''.....This is strange. Normally we can't move this many around like this.

 I wonder if five to ten is indeed too much, and Luna-san makes a distressed sound.

 Then I fold up and fly a water ball into her face.

 Phew, at first glance, these are harmless-looking water balls, but as long as they are attached to the opponent's face, they can take away their breath.

 With this, it's possible to make him say "I give up" within the rules I've set. However, I can't guarantee that you'll hear him say "I'm overwhelmed", though.

......

 As if she knew what I was going to do and didn't want to be targeted in the face, Luna-san dives her body out of the water ball that flies in to surround her.

''Eric!''

I know!

 I raised my voice, and he instantly replied.

 Eric saw through my operational intentions and was waiting in front of Luna-san, who had escaped the siege.

'f*ck you, sister!'

 Eric kicks the seawater up hard. Then Luna-san, who was in the middle of an evasive movement, couldn't avoid it and was hit in the face with a fragile hit.

 She let out a faint groan and rolled through the sea.

''Got it! I beat your sister, Alfried!

'Idiot! Eric! Be on your guard!

 Hearing Eric's flagging line, I had a bad feeling about it, and I raised my voice to warn him.

''N--Buah!

 Then the seawater, which came flying in with unstoppable speed, hit Eric in the face.

 Eric was blown off the surface of the sea in two or three turns.

 When I looked in the direction of my flight, I saw that it was after sister Elinora had wielded her wooden sword.

''I knew a wooden sword would be better than flying with my feet.

 What the hell was that? Did you use a wooden sword to scoop up seawater and send it flying? I don't understand.

 It was too early and I didn't even have time to bring it under control with my water magic.......

 d*mn, while I was distracted by Luna-san, she was shaking off the water I was tracking?

 I was the one who was caught off guard.

'Sorry, Eric. Can you stand up?!

..........

 I call out to him as I look at him, but Eric only pukes and drifts through the ocean.

 It seems that this guy is no good either. It's called Brother Silvio and Eric, what an unreliable thing for our allies to be.

 No, it's just that Elinora sister's attack power is strange.......

''.........geez, geez....

 Mr. Luna is sweltering heavily, probably because of Eric's earlier blow to his nose.

 This one hasn't said she's overwhelmed, but she won't be able to move immediately.

 Then, what we need to do is to quickly defeat the sister in front of us. With time, it's possible that Luna-san will recover and join the fight.

 I quickly manipulate the seawater underneath Elinora's sister's feet and form a water hand.

 I continue to reach out to her legs to restrain her movements, but Elinora's sister, who may have good instincts, immediately runs out and comes towards me.

 Still, I create a series of water hands in the direction I'm going.

 However, because Elinora's sister is running so fast, the water hands only grab the void.

''Tch, then how about this!

 Catching a swift opponent is limited to a wide area.

 The seawater in front of Elinora's sister rises.

 The seawater in front of Elinora's sister's location rises high. In previous snowball fights, you were able to grab victory by taking it to higher ground.

 This time too, if you drive them to high places in the same way, you should be able to see a chance for victory.

 Hahaha, let them rise high in the sky with the seawater.

 That's what I thought, but sister Elinora would not soar high in the sky.

 As I stared at the seawater, wondering, I suddenly noticed a small shadow moving something deep within the seawater.

''Hmm?''

 I squint and try to assess it, but suddenly the seawater cracks and I hear a humming and wind slashing sound.

 The sixth sense inside me sounds a violent alarm, so I hurriedly jump away from the spot, and the place I was in cracks open, exposing the ground.

''Hee!''

 The impact ran backwards for tens of meters, and the seawater began to return to its original place as if it had remembered.

 It's the first time I've ever seen seawater split right in front of me.

"Even water can cut.

 As I watched in amazement, Sister Elinora said with a wry smile.

 She's really a monster, even though she's in a field that's filled with so much seawater and has an advantage over me, she's not able to defeat it.

 As I shudder at the inexcusable strength of Elinora's sister, I see a large amount of water falling all at once as it rises to the surface.

 Hm? If you think about it, it might be a little bit bad that such a large amount of water falls down.

 When I was thinking about this while I was staring at it, a lot of water fell in front of me.

 The water, which had gained potential energy from the altitude, didn't just splash around like an explosion, it created a huge tsunami.

'Whoa! Yay!

Wait, wait, what?

 Transfer! ... no! If I do it here, a lot of people will see me.

 Even with a water magic technique that would result in such a large amount of mass, it wouldn't be enough.

 The Elinora sister, who has never heard of the phenomenon of a tsunami, and I, who was lost in judgement of the situation, were so confused that we were not swallowed by the wave.

''Oh, that?''

 When I opened my eyes with my thin eyes, the tsunami was still in front of me, as if time had stopped.

 Was it controlled by someone's water magic?

 When I traced the magic power and turned around, I saw Mother Erna there with a severely dumbfounded expression on her face.

You're not about to spoil your lunch on the beach either.

I'm sorry.

 It was the first time in a while that Mother Erna was a wizard-like scene, but the reason for the end was anything but the usual Mother Erna.
