Chapter 51: Vermin

Now, now, I don’t really want to spend too much time dealing with this small fry. Let’s finish this quickly.

Mister octopus—I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re just a random obstacle meant to sit in front of the boss room. I’m gonna cut you in pieces, cook you, and turn you into a nice plate of takoyaki! Wait. Can I even make takoyaki in this world?

In Japan, you could just buy takoyaki mix at the supermarket. Here, I’d need to make the batter from scratch using flour... Not to mention flour itself was hard to come by...

Whatever, I’ll destroy him first and sweat the small stuff later.

Random dudette—or rather, the octopus—clicked her tongue.

The octopus must’ve noticed I was starting to get serious, because he hid behind the girl’s back. He maneuvered his tentacles to put the students he’d dragged along, including Eterna, in front of them. Hey! That’s not fair!

Actually, he was using the six students he had caught—as well as random dudette—to protect himself from all sides. He would only be able to use two of his eight tentacles to fight, but he could count on a circular meat shield protecting him from all 360 degrees. He’d even used a student to cover the top of his head!

Meat shields can be a bit annoying to handle, but that won’t help you, you know? I have a hundred ways to deal with that.

“Don’t move, Ellize! If you take a single step, they’re dead meat. Slowly put your hands behind your back.”

I walked right past the octopus while he was threatening me with the most cliché lines ever and got behind him. I was using the very strategy I’d used in the past to trick my knights. In the octopus’ eyes, I was helplessly following his orders, unable to disobey for fear the hostages would be hurt. Needless to say, that Ellize was nothing but a trick of the light.

The archmonster’s human wall wasn’t exactly airproof, so I fired ice magic through the gaps.

To survive on land, the octopus needed to continuously use water magic to create a bubble around himself. If I could simply freeze that water, it would be game over for him. It only took one second before the hostages were released. I canceled my illusion and my stealth mode. It probably looked like I’d teleported to Layla.

“L-Lady Ellize, what in the world...?”

“I didn’t want the hostages to get hurt, so I had to cheat a little,” I said.

I wanted to keep my cards hidden, so I didn’t explain the details to Layla. Never reveal your tricks!

I hadn’t planned for any of this to happen, but I was pretty happy that the octopus had willingly left the basement. That left me with one less thing to worry about when I’d send Verner and the others to the witch. They wouldn’t have to face the mini-boss on top of the final boss.

It was about time I worried about random dudette, uh... What was her name again? Isabel? No.
