  Jikuu Mahou chapter 404: Digging a hole well

  It's almost time for work. Are they all right?

  『There are too many enemies……』


  A bearish voice came from Aya. And it's not the voice chat, but the voice from 【Tracking Beacon】.

  When I look at the shore of Toki Town from Aya′s sight, a large number of monsters are coming. All monsters are marine creatures.

  Octopus, squid, jellyfish, whales, flying fish like fishes, and all of them are coming up to land. There are also some swimming in the air.

  Are they going to attack the town? Is this also the effect of a typhoon?

  However, I am in an important meeting, so I can't move now.

  It's very common for heroes to be late in a pinch. The reason is that I'm at work——

  Toki Town. Aya was having a hard time.

  A huge octopus monster grabbed one of her legs and she can't move.

  「Kyaa!」


  At last, both feet are caught, and she falls.

  「Let-me-go!!」


  Aya tries to escape, but it is impossible.

  And she was hung upside down.

  「Stop it」


  There is no reason for words to be communicated to the enemy and it is a situation where both hands and feet are caught, and there is no hand or foot free anymore.

  And, in the meanwhile, a single tentacle…… the octopus foot extends to Aya's important place……

  「Noo! Stopp!!」


  It's completely unrelated, but one of the octopus's tentacles is called the 『Union Arm』, as the tip seems to be like a male genital

  And while the octopus foot bends, it slowly approaches Aya.

  「N, No! Nii-chan, save me……」


  Aya looks up at the octopus foot coming from between her legs……

  The octopus foot hit Aya′s face directly.

  And the octopus feet move around in a wriggling way.

  「What this! Gyaa!!!」


  When Aya ran wild, the strength of the octopus foot holding her limbs weakened and the restraint is broken, and she fell down from the upside-down position.

  「Gya!!!!」


  「Aya, you're noisy」


  「Eh?」


  Aya was embraced by my arms.

  Giant Octopus? Ah, that's what I cut with my 『Masamune′s Masterpiece』.

  「Ni, Ni-chaaan」


  Aya hugged me and started to complain.

  「I was about to lose my important thing just now」


  「What important thing?」


  「My……」


  「So?」


  「What are you letting me say! Nii-chan is a pervert!」


  I have been scolded by her for some reason. I can't understand!

  [EN: How dense can this man possibly be?]

  「Ah, Nii-chan. You′re still wearing your suit」


  「Ah!」


  My suit is…… Because of the rain and Aya′s runny nose, it is dangerous.

  I will put it for cleaning later……

  I changed to my usual adventure clothes with [Transformation Magic Stone].

  「By the way, Aya, how long are you going to hug me?」


  「I'm tired, so I'll do it for a while」


  After all, she is still a child no matter how she behaves.

  「Although there are still monsters」


  「If its Nii-chan, you can get right of them with me, right?」


  「Well」


  Before long, we were surrounded by the marine creatures.

  「Aya, close your ears a little」


  「Yes」


  「【Lightning strike】!」


  Baribaribari!

  Hundreds of lightning fell around Aya and me.

  When the intense lightning ceases, there are mountains of grilled marine creatures on the beach where we are standing.

  And there is also a delicious smell around.

  That's it. Let's eat grilled fish for lunch the whole next week. Soaking them in soy sauce with a large daikon radish. All I need is white rice and miso soup. Let's do that.

  I left the post-processing of the marine creatures to the townsmen, and I flew to Elena and Hilda′s side while holding Aya——

  「Elena, Hilda, are you all right?」


  「Seiji-sama」


  「Seiji-oniichan」


  「The people inside are safe, but…… the entrance is filled with mud…… and it will flow in if we dig」


  Both Elena and Hilda seem to be so tired that they look pale. And they're muddy.

  「Aya-san, are you all right?」


  「Hmm?」


  Ah, I kept hugging Aya.

  「Now, I will do it, so you three take a rest」


  「Yes」


  「「Yes」」


  First, I put a [Barrier] around the site so that no more water will flow into it.

  After securing a place where those three could rest, I set out at the entrance of the mine where the landslide happened.

  「Well, here is the mine entrance……」


  Elena and Hilda were trying to dig up as hard as possible. However, mud flowed into the place where the hole was dug, and it was difficult.

  First of all, I slowly scrape out the entrance that was buried to loosen it little by bit.

  「Nii-chan, do your best!」


  All three are cheering behind me. I'm just tired after finishing my work, but I'm going to do my best here.

  After a while, a hole leading to the depths appeared.

  I will open the hole by force only here. The hole is wide open and ready to let someone go in and out.

  「Ooo! Nii-chan is a good digger!」


  「As one would expect from Seiji-sama!」


  「Amazing!」


  Lavish voices praising me arise from behind.

  「Now, I will help those who are trapped inside」


  「Ooo!」


  「「Yes」」


  I went into the pit with pride.
