Chapter 303 Prophecy ⑥?

Part 1

Sytry Onee-sama is a rare and talented woman in the Imperial Capital who is good-looking, always calm and collected, and has no faults, but when it comes to Master~, she becomes a little bit useless.

The battle between the Sewer Dragon――Gesudra for short and the most powerful curse was about to begin before Tino’s eyes, which were filled with nothing but anxiety.

I had no idea what Sytry Onee-sama was doing. But it doesn’t seem like it could win this fight. No matter how many urban legends you heard about this thing, the opponent is probably a real legendary curse. It has already been proven that even Anthem Onii-sama and Ark cannot deal with it.

In the first place, I’ve never heard of a Sewer Dragon, so it’s probably a made-up term from Sytry Onee-sama. Tino is overwhelmingly on Master’s~ side and at the same time, I know Sytry Onee-sama’s strength, but………… Does it really have a chance of winning?

A short distance away from Master~, who was strangely enjoying himself as he ordered the Sewer Dragon, Sytry Onee-sama and the old Alchemist were *kosokoso* secretly talking together.

“It is finally time to demonstrate the power of the Strawberry Blaze.” (Sytry)

“………… But those three, I don’t know what they are, but what a terrifying miasma. Even if we let lose all the Monsters from the sewers, I don’t know if we stand a chance――” (Nikolalf)

“There is no problem, Cry-san can do anything he wants………… I know. How about this, what if the Sewer Dragon was eaten and the effect of the controlling drug was transferred over there?” (Sytry)

Sytry Onee-sama, who is completely unaware of the situation, says confidently.

Sytry Onee-sama, I don’t think that curse will eat the Sewer Dragon…… Or rather, you do know that it has no chance of winning if it fights head-on, huh. And your other plan is just guesswork, huh……

Although I do not know how, the Sewer Dragon, which is said to be under Master~ command, also seems to be frightened by its presence. To begin with, if Tino’s memory serves right, it is said that the sewer monsters do not attack a large number of people. How could it possibly win against that curse which had broken through headlong into the church despite having so many people?

In front of Tino, who was just praying for Master’s~ Divine Strategy to work, Sytry Onee-sama looked at Tino and said.

“Besides…… If it comes down to it, let’s use Ti-chan, and if it doesn’t work, Kilkill-kun, as baits for us to run away! We have to be ready for it.” (Sytry)

“!?” (Tino)

Tino gently turned away from Sytry Onee-sama, who just said something outrageous.

Sytry Onee-sama, after all, you really don’t understand what’s going on………… The one that thing is chasing after is Master~, you know! In order to save Master~, we have to somehow fight that thing!

Even if you use Tino and Kilkill-kun as bait, that curse is still going to chase after Master~.

A wide variety of animals, including the Sewer Dragon, insects, mice, and bats, which had taken root in the sewer, all approached the Cursed Spirit People at Master’s~ command.

And then, they stopped a few meters in front of it.

“Sytry Onee-sama, they are not pushing forward……” (Tino)

“………… It seems like their instincts are stopping their bodies.” (Sytry)

It’s rare to see a fight where you can clearly see the winner so well, was what Tino thought.

I don’t believe for a second that it can win. It still seems to me that Tino would be better off fighting them. In the first place, which one is stronger a Sewer Dragon or an Onsen Dragon?

As the Spirit People took a step forward, the Sewer Dragon took a step back. The pairing was too cruel.

And after all, that Spirit People isn’t going to eat the Sewer Dragon…… Besides, I don’t think eating it will change anything in the first place.

No――But, it’s true that Master~ decided to come here! Until now, Master~ has created countless miracles, so it’s possible that the weak point of that curse is pinpointed to be the Sewer Dragon…………

“Do your best, Sewer Dragon!” (Cry)

.

“Gugyaaaa!” (Sewer Dragon)

The Sewer Dragon roared at Master’s~ words as if to rouse its own will. But its legs had not taken a single step forward. It was as if I was looking at myself, which made me a little sad. There are some things in this world that motivation alone cannot help.

What in the world is Master~ going to do? In front of Master~, who looked at the Sewer Dragon with a puzzled look, the Cursed Spirit People――Opened its mouth for the first time.

“WeAk OnE, StAnd DOwN.” (Cursed Spirit People)

It was an ice-cold voice that made your heart freeze. At that voice, the Sewer Dragon let out a scream-like roar.

As if they were repelled, the Sewer Dragon and the other small animals escape en masse to the half-destroyed building――Back to the sewers.

At the last minute, Tino was able to avoid it by jumping sideways, but I was nearly run over.

What happened was like a wave receding. It’s not even a fight…… Or rather, weren’t they supposed to listen to Master~!?

Master’s~ also blinking his eyes. Sytry Onee-sama opened her eyes widely and said to the Alchemist next to her.

“Nikolalf-san. It appears that the Strawberry Blaze uses a power connected with cursed arts as we suspected a long time ago.” (Sytry)

“…… Had it been removed because the control was drowned out by a more powerful curse………… Or was it because the effect of a diluted potion weak……” (Nikolalf)

It’s not the time to do an analysis…… Is there anything else you can do?

Marin’s Wails, which is behind it, looks really worried………… Don’t tell me, we’re being pitied by a curse!?

And, at that time, a bottle of Potion flew through the air. It was Sytry Onee-sama who threw it.

The bottle with a silvery-white Potion fell and cracked before the eyes of the Cursed Spirit People. And then――It exploded.

It was a tremendous explosion. A violent blast blew my body away and slammed me against the wall with great force. A huge hole was made in the ground and the wall was torn apart.

It’s Sytry Onee-sama’s Explosion Potion. I can’t believe she would use it without any warning, and in the middle of the city――.

I wake up while enduring the pain. While hiding in the half-destroyed entrance of the sewer system, Sytry Onee-sama was throwing her potions in a chain with a *poipoi* light and easy movement.

“Ei, ei, ei! I heard this time we will be against curses, so for the first time, I am unveiling my Holy Water Purification Explosion Potions that I created!” (Sytry)

“Don’t, make, something, so messed up, Sytry…… Onee-sama.” (Tino)

In the middle of the intermittent explosion, 『Marin’s Wails』 wails. Those are more physical damages than purification damage tho’……

In the first place, even if it is Sytry Onee-sama, there is no way she could defeat them with Potions! Even Anthem Onii-sama couldn’t do anything about them, you know!?

Even though she understands she cannot win, her killing intent is way too high.

Finally, a white potion is thrown, creating an unnatural amount of white smoke. This is――A smoke screen.? And Tino was *pin* struck by a flash.

Now then, Sytry Onee-sama…… You’re planning to run away with Master~, right. I won’t let you.

I put my fingers on my mouth and blow as hard as I can to make a sound. Car-kun, which had been hiding in the shadow of a building to protect itself, hears the sound and comes over.

This place is not good anymore. After all, even Sytry Onee-sama cannot do anything about them. We didn’t even have a great Kaiju battle between them. What did you want to do by coming here, Master~……

I jumped on the incoming Car-kun and flew through the air. As it sprint through the air, I grab the hand of Master~ who stood tall in the smoke with a distant look in his eyes, and escaped into the sky. I ask Master~ who was once again *burabura* dangling in the sky.

Tino is doing everything I can. I’m doing my best to deal with this situation. Even though I know how harsh Master’s~ personality can be, I have no choice but to ask Master~.

“Master~, where are we going next!?” (Tino)

“Tino…… When did you get along so well with Car-kun…………” (Cry)

“Master~, it’s coming after us again! Even though we escaped by using all that smoke!” (Tino)

After all, they must be chasing after us not with their eyesight but with a special power. It has a really terrifying obsession.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Poor Sewer Dragon, being compared to the goofy Onsen Dragon

What was Cry’s mastermind plan when he tried to pitch the Sewer Dragon with the curse!?

And all these years, Tino was the real Relic master all along, it is just that we never knew

Tchao à plus!
