Noticing that Saya was falling from above, I completely forgot about the golem and fixed my gaze on her .

  When I narrowed my eyes to take a better look, Lina, Karen and Rouga had finally entered my field of vision .

  What is actually happening?

  How did they end up like this?

  I tilted my head while looking up, though I didn’t have the time to think about anything unnecessary .

  “Guess, I’ve got to save them . ”


  I teleported near Saya and caught her in time .

  “Yo, you okay?”


  “Yato-kun!!……”


  Saya looked delighted from seeing me doing well, but unfortunately we couldn’t afford getting emotionally moved since Karen and the others were still falling .

  “Careful . ”


  “Oh……”


  “Guoo!!”


  I almost lost my balance when I carried both Karen and Lina on my shoulders .

  “Wan! (Chief!)”


  “Guof!”


  As if Lina and Karen weren’t enough, Rouga fell down right on my face .

  I bent backward due to the shock but managed to keep control of myself thanks to my level and skills .

  I-I can’t breath and I can’t see anything .

  “Too heav……”


  “Did you say something?”


  “N-No……”


  When I wanted to express my complaints, Karen interrupted me with a sharp glare compelling me to close my mouth .

  That was dangerous . I was about to say something I can’t take back .

  Well, they’re are indeed lighter than the normal golem, but it still tough for me to carry them with my current stance .

  “Rouga, go back for a moment . ”


  “Wan! (Okay~)”


  Ordering Rouga to return, I was finally able to ascertain the situation with my own eyes .

  Lina and Karen were sitting on my shoulders, while Saya was still clinging to me . This sounds like a scene from some kind of harem series, but it can’t be helped . That’s how things turned out .

  (Translator note: seriously now, what does that mean?!)

  I deliberately descended to the ground, put them down and let out a deep sigh .

  “By the way, Lina, you know that you can fly, right?”


  I just recalled that Lina can fly if she used he.

  I wonder why she didn’t use it .

  When I asked her about it, she answered in nonchalant way .

  “I can’t transform without getting permission from Metron-sama . ”


  Oh, is that so?

  I didn’t know that she needed a permission for something like that . I mean, she used it many times in the past as if it was nothing of special .

  “Also……”


  Lina stopped her sentence after adding a single word .

  I could see a faint smile on her face; a smile that a person wouldn’t make after falling from a high place .

  “Also?”


  “.…… no, it’s nothing . Forget about it . ”


  When I urged her to continue, she tried to end the discussion by revealing her usual serious expression, but failed due to Karen’s ruthless remark .

  “You’re just a happy because he carried you, aren’t you?”


  “W-Wai- Karen-dono!?”


  Hearing that remark, Lina couldn’t hide her fluster .

  “You don’t have to hide it you know . ”


  “But still, don’t say that……”


  They started quarrelling, but that doesn’t matter now . What’s done is already done .

  Leaving those two aside, I saw Saya walking to Sara to check how she was doing .

  “Are okay?”


  “Y,Yes . ”


  Sara seemed slightly confused when she realized that Saya’s question was addressed to her .

  Ah, I forgot to heal her ankle .

  I walked to Sara as well then sat on my knees and reached my hand to her injured ankle .

  Applying the healing magic, a gentle light covered the lower part of her leg, turning the purple swollen part back to usual .

  “You should be fine now . ”


  “T-Thanks . ”


  Sara thanked me while feeling a bit awkward .

  Thinking about it, she injured her ankle because of my plan, so I can’t leave her in that condition .

  When I finished healing her ankle, Meru who was quiet all this time exclaimed in bewilderment

  “W-What is going on, Desu? Why are you able to use magic……”


  Lina who was still quarelling with Karen until now, cleared away Meru’s perplexity by giving her a brief explanation .

  “We destroyed the magic circle that was blocking the use of magic inside this ruin . ”


  “N-No way……”


  It was a concise, yet shocking answer from the girl who was flustering only seconds ago .

  Meru who received that shock, froze in her place while muttering to herself .

  “You destroyed the circle?”


  “Yeah . ”


  “I was the one who fond found it . ”


  “We wanted to be of some help so……”


  When I asked them while feeling impressed, Karen and Lina affirmed with a smirk .

  In the other hand, Saya probably thought that they’ve done something unnecessary and stayed quite .

  I turned to Saya and told her with a gentle smile .

  “Thanks for helping me out, you saved us”


  When I gave them my thanks, all the three of them looked at each other with an expression saying “we did it!”


  Well, to be frank, they did really save us .

  I can’t imagine what could have happened if they didn’t destroy the magic circle at that timing .

  Ending our conversation, I turned back to the red normal golem who still standing in his place .

  “Well then, shall we settle this matter?”


  Hearing those words, Meru switched from her dumbfounded expression to a stiffened one .

  “Not yet, Desu . Even if you can use magic, this normal golem is……”


  “Too bad, you had already lost at the moment I got my abilities back . ”


  “??!!”


  Meru closed her mouth when she heard my voice suddenly coming from behind her .

  Of course, I was no longer there once she turned around .

  The moment she turned around, a burning red flame pierced the normal golem’s chest .

  The blazing fist instantly exploded after touching the red rock covering the core, causing it’s chest to blow up .

  The normal golem fell on his back .

  “You shouldn’t look away when you’re facing an enemy . ”


  I purposely warned Meru with a mischievous grin .

  Feeling somewhat irritated by my attitude, she ordered the golem to attack while looking clearly displeased .

  “Get him, Desu!”


  Following that frantic voice, the golem launched his fingers at me while still laying on his back .

  “I told you . You have already lost this battle . ”


  The rock fingers flew directly towards me until they bent to the right before they almost reached my place .

  “Eh?”


  Meru couldn’t believe her eyes .

  The rocks changed their direction despite having no obstacle on their way .

  The remaining fingers too, followed the same trajectory .

  “How, why……”


  As for the reason behind this unexplainable phenomenon, it was all thanks to my magic .

  All that did was using

  to change their trajectory .

  After all, the golems fingers are nothing but mere rocks once they leave the main body .

  They don’t have any protection or resistance against magic, so changing their direction is a child’s play .

  Running out of fingers to release, the golem stopped attacking .

  “Are you done?”


  Asking her with a provocative purpose, Meru still refused to give up and continued to desperately order the golem .

  “Not yet, Desu!”


  While still laying on his back as usual, the golem stretched his fingerless arm towards me .

  I remained floating in my place, not intending to avoid the punch .

  When the distance between his fist and my body almost closed……

  The fist that was supposed to crush me didn’t reach my place .

  The arm that the golem stretched had completely disappeared out of sight making him one-armed .

  Meru widened her eyes to this spectacle .

  “W-Why did you……”


  Seems like she lost track of what’s happening .

  She couldn’t grasp the essence of my skills .

  My

  could erase anything as long as it doesn’t directly affect any kind of life form .

  If we think about this thoughtfully , this normal golem isn’t alive in the first place .

  If something was to be alive in it, that would be its core . The rest is nothing but some easily erasable rocks .

  The reason I didn’t exterminate it altogether was simply because I didn’t want to end him with that much after all the things that he made me go through .

  “It’s about time to end this . ”


  I stretched my arm to the front and aimed the finishing blow at the golem .

  The moment I uttered the spell, four magic circles appeared surrounding the normal golem .

  Each circle emerged in a position to enclose him in a square based box . Soon after, a faint light started shining in the center of that box .

  “This is my payback for all what you made me go through . ”


  The light in the center gradually increased its radiance and condensation; it looked as it was about to explode at any instant .

  Apparently giving up on ordering him, Meru gazed at the golem in daze .

  The light which reached its maximal condensation transformed into a single giant explosion .

  Because of the boxed created by the four magic circles, the explosion didn’t leak to the outside and furiously radiated in the inside along with a deafening sound .

  An earthquake resulted from the impact that leaked out of the box, but it eventually stopped simultaneously with the explosion .

  What was left inside the box after the explosion and the earthquake disappeared was— nothing .

  Excluding the the smoke and dust enshrouding the place, the interior of the box was empty .

  Meru lost her words when she saw that .

  “Well, that’s what happens when magic makes its entrance in a battle .

  Feeling somewhat satisfied, I muttered to myself .

  If Yato was unlucky,insensitive jerk .

  “I told you, you have already los- Buhee!!”

  “I said that you’re heavy . ”


  “Guilty . ”
