「Hey bastard, if you beg and cry right now and ask for the princess’ forgiveness, then I won’t kill you」
Sure thing. Not even five minutes into the nest and the seniors are tangling up with me.
It’s a hall-like structure with several corridors intersecting and it seems that they had followed our path from behind.
「The three girls over there. If you’re willing to leave the Zatsuryu behind then I’ll let you off the hook」
「He seems to be your pet, but he’s just a Zatsyuru anyway. You don’t want to get hurt by this, do you?」
Emily-chan’s bodyguards are a Red-haired Yankee, blue-eyed Tricky, and the Green Garnish Flashy.
They went to different branching roads immediately after entering the nest but now they’re chasing behind. What’s going on in the heads of the third-year students? Are they too low in population that they launch a raid as soon as the Earth attribute senior is gone?
「What did you say to Alec? I’ll burn you」
「Seems like a guy with lame glasses wants to turn into an ice sculpture.」
「Want to see which one would get hurt?」
Lina-chan and the girls were taking a cautious pose, glaring at the seniors with a murderous gaze. They’re pissed off. It would be nice if I fold all three of them together, but it seems like I can leave this to Lina-chan and the girls, I guess?
「I’ll ask beforehand, what happened to Emily-chan and the girls? Do they know about this?」
「How dare you call Princess Emily with that tone! Die! You Bastard!」
「Even we call her princess, and yet you’re being too familiar with her! This is why I hate stupid Zatsuryu! You have to die now and apologize to Princess Mimi」
「You call my princess “Emily-chan” You’re dead」
The Fire, Water, and Wind Magic were unleashed on me. They’re too incompetent in talking, just how twisted are you guys?
Well, from the looks of it, they’re probably competing on which one could beat me without Emily-chan knowing.
It won’t be easy, of course. Three magic bullets were released, shooting down the attack coming after me.
「You’re dead」
「I’ll make you regret that you were born」
「Hmmm. I feel sorry killing them, but I don’t intend to be gentle either~」
Lina-chan and the girls protected me.
「Alec. You can go ahead and we’ll deal with these guys」
「Okay. I think you’ll be fine, but don’t get hurt! Also, be careful with the cave-ins!」
I’ll leave the bodyguards to them and go ahead. Emily-chan’s making progress after all I need to hurry too.
「Wait! I won’t let you reach the princess!」
「It’s futile, you won’t touch Alec」
I left the girls as I heard the sound of magic bullets.
■
「Tsk, teach them a lesson quickly and chase after him!」
「Don’t destroy the nest. If this leads to cancellation, Princess Mimi would be sad」
「We won’t! You’re the one who should watch out!」
「How can I make such an elementary mistake?」
The flashy guy floats in the air as the two were snarling at each other.
「You guys can take it slow because I’ll be going first. I’ll finish it up–gah!!」
A golden lightning bolt struck the flashy man who flew through the ceiling of the corridor and tried to jump over Lina and the girls. He crashed from the direct impact of the lightning strike.
「Didn’t I say you won’t get through us」
「Guh! And here I was trying to let you off the hook, but it seems like you want to be in pain. –I’ll educate you as your senior you brats!! You’ll be sorry for facing me!!」
The flashy man attacks Mira who’s still smiling. His body seems numb, but he shoots bullets while flying in all directions.
「You’re so weak for a senior. Do you want me to train you?」
But, Mira’s lightning easily breaks the wind, piercing the body of the flashy man as he changes course in the air.
「!?!?!?!?」
The flashy man was unable to speak as the lightning struck him over and over again, making his body tremble.
「I can still go on」
Even if it’s one-sided, Mira didn’t stop her attacks. Her tone was calm and her face was smiling, but there were angry lightning sparks in the back of her amber eyes.
The match was a challenge from Emily to Alec. Since Mira and the girls are helping Alec out, it wasn’t an issue to have the bodyguards help out Emily.
However, if the bodyguards were going after Alec’s life, then that’s a different story. They were going after him with the intent to kill and it had nothing to do with the match. No female dragon would allow that.
“Don’t touch a dragon in a match”
That rule is common sense in this world. The bodyguards who looked down on the younger opponents had stepped on the dragon’s tail.
「Hahaha! Burn! Burn! I’m going to turn your cheeky face into charcoal!! What? How are you not burning?!」
「Your low heat disappeared in an instant. This is my fire. Do you get it now?」
Lina-chan wraps her whole body in a flame, and then she fires a flame bullet towards the Yankee. The Yankee tried to shoot it down, but his fire got swallowed by Lina’s, and it hit him. Then, the Yankee was now on flame.
「My water fills this entire hall, there’s nowhere to escape. I won’t take your life, but you’ll have to reflect on yourself」
The Narcissist glasses boy filled the hall with water. Everyone’s trapped in the water barrier covering the floor, walls, and ceiling. There’s nowhere for the three to run off to.
「Hmm? W-What’s going on? My water?!」
The tricky glasses man raised his voice in surprise.
The water Anastasia touched froze in an instant and the water covering the hall turned to ice.
「Can’t escape? You’re right. There’s no escape for anyone」
「T-This is ridiculous! You’re just a second-year student! Even if you’re a female dragon, you can’t have this much magic! This is impossible!」
The confused glasses man shouted, but the reality remained the same.
The fallen flashy guy continues to get zapped, the Yankee got roasted as punishment, and the glasses guy got his whole body frosted, he’s now still.
「We’re going to educate you thoroughly so you won’t do something stupid again. Be grateful that we’re kind souls, you fools」
The three girls continued shooting their magic out. The three bodyguards didn’t know until the end that the dragon crests in the girls’ abdomen were shining brilliantly and their magic was overflowing.
