Chapter 32.2. Slums

-???’s POV-

“Crown of Clay? Don’t tell me you’re the burglar who broke into my house!”

“Huh? …… Could it be you’re the only brat that got away? Oh, I didn’t know you were still alive. I checked my friends and couldn’t see you, I thought you were dead.”

“You… you’re the one who killed my family! I’ll kill you! You’re going to die!”

Youko shouts, her vision turning red at Hrungnir’s words. Her companions attack Hrungnir and others with their special items.

“Well, if the brat we missed that time is here, then the magic tools are here too! I won’t let them get away!”

Youko’s friends attack Hrungnir and the others. Youko also creates flames in her palm and glares with hatred at her vengeance.

“My parents let me escape when you guys broke in that day. Along with my brother.”

Youko, who had no power, escaped with her brother and some magic tools. Her parents promised to come to get her as soon as possible.

…… However, her parents did not come to pick her up, and Youko wandered with his younger brother. Before long, her younger brother died, and now Yoko has only a few magic tools. She became the boss of a small group in the slums. Then Youko awakens her mana. That’s what happened.

With revenge in her heart, she’s survived by committing crimes. And now, she has her revenge targets in front of her.

“I’ll kill you!”

[Fox Fire]

She sends several flame bullets bouncing off her palm. Hrungnir holds up his palm with a look of satisfaction and swings it to cancel out the flame bullets.

“Ha! How can I lose to someone who hasn’t even learned to use mana properly?”

“Son of a bitch!”

Youko uses her fox people’s physical abilities to leap through the air and release a fox fire. Hrungnir shattered Youko’s friends with his stiff fists. As if hit by a missile, the hit points exploded, killing them.

“They’re all magicians!”

“Kurata was killed!”

The gun doesn’t work either!”

Hrungnir’s friends are magicians, and their physical capabilities are as fast as beasts. Iron pipes get repelled by their bodies, and knives do not pierce them. Youko’s friends shoot guns and try to counter the magicians, but they don’t even penetrate the magicians’ robes, and they get slashed to death with the magician’s swords.

“Buhaha, look at your men. They’re trash. They can’t even put a scratch on us.”

“Don’t underestimate me.”

[Mirage]

She uses her trump card. Youko’s figure faded with the fog, and even her presence vanished.

“Fuuuhh. Let’s do it. Do you know where I am?”

Youko laughed and gently slid into Hrungnir’s chest. The others can’t hurt him, but she’s a magician. Her dagger is imbued with mana and can hurt them.

With a hiss, Youko’s dagger slices through Hrungnir’s neck.

“Ha, take this!”

Because of the attack, Youko’s figure emerges, but Youko is convinced of her victory without worrying about it.

“You’re good, little girl!”

“What the!”

Surprisingly, Youko’s attack only made Hrngnir’s neck red and swollen. Youko paused and was stunned her full force, all-out attack, had not worked.

And Hrungnir did not miss the opportunity.

“It’s over. I’ll throw you in the trash.”

And with that, a crystal spear is produced from his palm and pierces Youko’s chest. Youko died without getting her revenge.

That was the end of Tamamo’s dream. When she wakes up, she forgets the content, but it is a nightmare she has from time to time. When she was too scared to sleep, she would go to the place with her mom and dad and cries to sleep.

That was Tamamo’s nightmare, but today was different.

She blinked that she’s died, and then realized she was safe. No, she had changed her appearance too.

“Hey, what the hell?”

It wasn’t a slum. It’s somewhere unknown.

For some reason, Hrungnir kneeled and looked impatient.

“Ah? You don’t know my name, so you’re a regular character.”

And in front of Tamamo. There was a beautiful girl with gray hair that looked silver. Several other people were standing around her, but they were in shadows, and she couldn’t see them.

“Hey, what do you mean?”

“I’m air. It’s sad to be a mob, isn’t it?”

The gray-haired beauty laughed and held her hand to the confused and disoriented Hrungnir. Then she said something and shot a flash of light. Then Tamamo woke up.

The first time she opened my eyes, she felt she had a scary dream, but later felt like it had turned into a happy dream, and she smiled. She somehow knew that nothing sad was going to happen any longer.

“Unyah. Hornbear cow, bear, cow?”

Sleeping next to her, talking in her sleep, is Em-chan, who has come to sleep over. The sleep-talking makes her laugh, and Tamamo pokes Em-chan on the cheek.

“Good morning, Em-chan.”

“Morning~, Tamamo-chan.”

Seeing Em-chan respond sleepily, her heart warms.

After that, she never had the same nightmare again.
