Interlude

“Aaaaaah!” Magiluka’s scream echoed through the silent underground aqueduct.

“Oh, sorry about that. I didn’t know there’d be that many.” Sacher laughed apologetically as Magiluka bolted away in a most unladylike manner.

“‘It’ll be easy,’ you said! ‘I’ll handle everything,’ you said! None of this worked out!” Magiluka glared at Sacher with tears in her eyes as she ran.

“Ooh, here they come!” Sacher disregarded her and looked back at the dark mass surging toward them from the direction they’d come.

“Eeeek!” Prompted by his report, Magiluka turned to look, and she screeched as she saw a swarm of creatures scurrying across the floor. Their bodies were covered in a black, lustrous carapace. They had a pair of antennae that twitched about, as well as multiple pairs of long, skittery legs that busily carried them forward as they gave pursuit.

If Mary were there, she’d have said, “Oh. Cockroa*es.” However, this world’s version of said creatures was much larger than that of Mary’s world, with a much larger, stronger carapace. They counted as an insect monster. Their offensive power was weak, and most people, women included, could beat them handily—assuming they had enough courage to squish them, that is.

“Can’t you just evaporate them all with a spell?”

“W-W-Well, if you shield me and focus them into one place, I can easily burn them all.”

“Aha ha ha, come on, if I did that, they’d just swarm me. I don’t want that even with my shield.”

The two’s exchange continued as the monsters gave chase. The two of them raced toward the aqueduct’s exit, where two girls stood guard. Safina was standing there to ensure no one came in, and standing alongside her was Fifi, who was inspecting the item she’d prepared for Safina.

Safina puzzledly noticed the pair running toward her. “Oh, there you are. What hap—”

“Miss Safina, we must rethink our plans!”

“It’s dangerous here, Safinaaa!”

The two of them sped up, bolting past her as they shouted. Safina followed them with her eyes as they ran.

“...There’s prey coming.” Fifi looked down the aqueduct. “Perfect timing to test the gear.”

Hearing this, Safina drew her sword and turned to face the entrance to the aqueduct—

“Eeeegyaaaa!” Safina let out a strange squeak as she saw a swarm of creepy-crawlies creeping closer, some of them even flapping their wings and flying. She panicked and froze up.

“...Use fire,” Fifi said as she backed away.

“H-Huuuh, erm, is it this switch that applies fire to it...?!” Safina said aloud as her fingers fumbled over the magus mechanism applied to her katana’s scabbard and flipped a switch. The magus mechanism clicked loudly as it loaded. “Accel Boost! Draw! Flame Sword Flurry!”

Safina drew her sword, which flashed crimson and produced flames with every swing. With her acceleration magic and gear in effect, Safina rapidly cut down the black swarm, burning them to ash.

This was the magic gear Fifi had prepared for Safina—her katana’s scabbard was charged with multiple magus mechanisms, allowing her to temporarily apply different powers to her blade. It was an idea Mary had given Fifi during the welcoming party—and more to the point, a concept from a manga that she let slip.
