Chapter 259 – 259.Nyannyang Time (1)
[Thank you, heroes.]
After defeating Exigene, a voice was heard behind her, echoing inside her head as if she were a telepath.
When I looked back, I saw Bermad, the holy beast of lightning, who had come to his senses after the chaos stone was broken, looking down at us.
“You’re awake, Burmad!”
[Yes, thanks to you, I was freed from the ugly power of chaos. I want to repay you right away for freeing me, but…]
Burmad turned his head and looked at the battlefield where he was still fighting the golems.
[As the holy water of this country, there are things I must take care of first.]
The Burmese took off, flapping its huge wings, and flew towards the battlefield.
[Those who threaten Tunktree! Destroy!]
Crumbling!
The whirlpool of lightning that we had avoided several times struck the golem-type monsters.
“It is Burmad!”
“Burmad has been liberated!”
“Seongsu is back!”
I felt that the people’s morale increased significantly after seeing Burmard attack the golem-type monsters.
Yeonhwa said after seeing the battlefield completely tilted to one side.
“With that momentum, I think we can just take a break.”
“We’ll have to deal with it on the way back anyway, so let’s cheer up, Yeonhwa.”
“Well, that’s true too. Still, it would be okay to take a little rest, right?”
“Of course.”
Unlike usual, instead of everyone working together to deal with one person, they each dealt with Vermad and Exigeine, so the stamina consumption will be greater.
It would be good for everyone to take a break of 5 to 10 minutes.
“Wow~ That’s a lot of lightning. I saw it when I was dealing with the Apostle of Chaos, but isn’t the power really a joke?”
Haha! That is the majesty of Burmad!”
“That! It’s cracking! Avoiding it is annoying!”
“But is it okay to move like that? You were… Quite attacked just now.”
Lucas said with concern, perhaps because he had seen many Bermads get pierced by our attacks.
“Even if the condition is not good, we cannot just sit back and watch.”
“… Mr. Sihan! I want to go right away and be of some help to others.”
Lucas seemed frustrated with staying still like this.
As expected, when it comes to things related to holy water or the goddess of creation, Lucas showed considerable enthusiasm.
He put his hand on Lucas’ shoulder and said.
“Lucas, take a break for at least 5 minutes. It will be more helpful to others and Burmad too.”
“… ! Yes!”
After taking a 5-minute break, we jumped into the battlefield where the Burmese were in full swing.
Of course, before that, the pieces of Burmad’s body that were scattered everywhere were recovered.
◈
Because Burmad participated in the battlefield, the golem-type monsters were able to be defeated quickly.
Even so, since there was a lot of it, it took about an hour to process everything, clean up, and calm down.
After defeating all the golem-type monsters, the people realized that the week-long fight was finally over, and they all cheered and were happy.
And.
[Thank you for freeing me. This is my heart.]
Just like other holy beasts, Vermad gave me the essence of lightning.
And now it’s already obvious, but Burmard asked us for an additional favor.
A request to exterminate monsters in the Temple of Lightning, which was also in the event story.
Originally, the protagonist found out through the guild.
[The Temple of Lightning is now engulfed by the ugly energy of chaos.]
Just like at the Temple of Fire, the Temple of Lightning now has a tombstone of chaos embedded in it, so Burmad, a holy beast, cannot get close.
Because of the chaos tombstone work, Burmard personally commissioned us.
Of course, just like at the Temple of Fire, there is nothing to rush right now, so Bermad told us to get some rest before coming.
After finishing his business, Bermad flew into the sky and said.
[Thank you to the brave heroes who protected Tonk Tree! May the Goddess of Creation bless you!]
Although it is something that priests often say, since it is a word bestowed directly by the Holy Spirit, the gratitude and the sanity felt in the atmosphere are different.
“”Ooooo!!!””
The people gathered on the battlefield were happy and cheered again.
What happened after that was similar to what happened in other countries.
This time, there were many participants, so King Alvius Tunktri came out to the square and thanked those who participated in this battle.
And after calling us who had done the most in this battle, we gave additional thanks and made a covenant to give separate rewards later.
If I felt like it, I would immediately throw a big party, but the battle has just ended and everyone is tired, and there is also a need to convey this good news to the residents of Tunkmachina who have now fled to other countries.〈 Br〉
First, it was decided that everyone would disperse and take a rest.
After the break was declared, we decided to rest for a while at the assigned inn.
In a room alone.
I sat on the bed and looked at the box in my hand.
Reward received from defeating Kihee Exigeine.
Rare item box.
This time I decided to open it right away.
The manipulation clone I got from opening it last time was quite useful.
Therefore, my expectations for the rare item box were very high.
Should I say that it feels like if I pick a 5-star character in gacha after 10 runs, I will hit the jackpot again?
Anyway, my expectations were very high right now.
‘What will come out this time?’
It’s okay to come out in combat, but I was also hoping to see something that could be used in a dirty way, like a manipulative alter ego.
With that in mind, I opened the rare item box.
A potion came out of that rare item box.
‘Is it a potion?’
I thought it would at least be a potion that increases abilities.
It wasn’t bad, but I felt a bit disappointed, so I kept an eye on it to see what kind of ability it was raising.
[Gender change potion: A potion that changes the gender of the person who drinks it.]
“… Huh?”
It was a TS potion.
“How are you supposed to use something like this?”
The result was so embarrassing that for the first time in a long time, the tone of speech, not the concept, came out.
In Rupan, of course, you can change your gender to female or male.
But that’s only the main character.
Moreover, this medicine.
There is no such thing as a time limit.
That means that once you drink it, you will be permanently fixed to a different gender.
In other words, it is an item that cannot be used at all.
“Even if you’re lucky, you always end up with a failure. Sigh…”
The disappointment was as great as I had expected.
It felt like after getting 5 stars in about 10 minutes, I never got 5 stars until I hit the ceiling 3 times in the next gacha.
◈
The next day, after breakfast, I went to Cats Store for the first time in a while to meet Sasha.
And everyone followed me except Sister Luong, Tiona, and Arjen.
The Luong sisters and Tiona also wanted to follow, but since the battle had just ended, soldiers from each country came and took them away, and Arjen was busy preparing a concert for those who had worked hard so far.
“Welcome, oppa~ang! Jjokkkk!”
I met Sasha after a long time. As soon as she saw me, she closed to me and gave me a passionate kiss on the cheek.
“I’m back, Sasha.”
“Yes!”
It was a familiar sight by now, so no one in the Fortis Group was surprised.
The employees also seemed to have given up.
No, it may be because I know that the relationship between me and Sasha is progressing.
Anyway, we first went to the warehouse and took out the pieces of Burmad’s body we had obtained this time.
“Oooooh! Burmad! The wings of the holy beast of lightning, Burmad, are so perfect!”
“Sigh! Haak! Haak! I want to disband quickly! Captain!”
“If you make a coat using giant feathers… It’ll be a big hit!”
The dismantling workers were also very excited and happy, perhaps because it was the first time they had seen Seongsu’s body in a long time.
“Hey! Shasha!”
At that time, Atsubal approached Sasha, making some footsteps.
“Neng? Why are you doing this, Atsubal?”
“I am reserving a cloak and quill made from Burmard’s feathers!”
“Thank you for using it~.”
It was just an order reservation.
“Ah! My best duel battle uniform has been completed!”
I’m thinking of wearing it during the entertainment.
After that, we moved to Sasha’s office and were served tea and cookies.
“Quick! Gulp! Cookie! Delicious!”
“There is plenty, so you can ask for more, Maika~.”
“Yes!”
Over tea, we told Sasha about what happened during our week in Tunkmakhina.
“Wow, you’ve been fighting an army of golem-type monsters for a week… I knew that, but hearing it firsthand tells you that you went through a lot of trouble.”
“Hmph, I’m already used to the battles that continue day after day, so it’s no big deal!”
“Of course. Even though I fought every day, I didn’t get suddenly tired because I fought with other people at set times instead of all day.”
“Oh, by the way! Come to think of it, brother! Did you get that? That rare item box.”
“Rare item box?”
Adeline tilted her head at Sasha’s words.
Now that I think about it, she hasn’t told Adeline anything about the quest yet.
“Sasha, there is someone who needs an explanation first.”
“Huh? Adeline, haven’t you found out yet?”
“There was no time to speak up.”
She also explained to Adeline about her quest abilities.
“Sihan has such an ability… !”
After finishing the explanation, I answered Sasha’s question.
“Of course, I got the rare item box. And… I already opened it.”
“Wow! What did you come up with this time? Was there a super convenient skill like manipulating clones?”
“No, this time it wasn’t a skill, it was a potion.”
“Wh-a potion? What kind of potion is it?”
When I heard that it was a potion, Pamela responded that she was very interested.
“Um, that’s… “A sex change potion.”
“”… ?””
Everyone looked like they didn’t understand what was being said.
