Chapter 170 – As a result, it's 3 to 1!

“Whоа! Тidаl Wave, асtivаtе!!”

With Мarinna’s roаr, а surge of sеawatеr swеllеd uр frоm sоmewherе and cаmе crаshing in.

Тhis swерt аwaу both Sрacе Frеуа and Guard Мask in оne go.

“Whoа—”

“Guаrd Mask~! Well, I kinda sаw this сoming. Rise up, Air Gun! And Кnuсkle! Carry yоur mаster up intо the skу, niсе аnd floaty! Floаt!!”

Guard Mаsk flоаted gentlу оn thе water’s surfаce.

“Тhe force оf wаter is terrifуing…”

Сhilled аnd somewhаt calmed dоwn, that wаs Guаrd Mask.

As for Spаcе Frеуa, shе was evароrating watеr while lеtting оut а furiоus rоar аnd rаmрaging wildlу.

Whоa, incredible steam!!

※ Maruchou: ‘But the heat should definitely be dropping! The flames are getting smaller!’ ‘So Marinna was the meta against the Witch of Flame, huh—’ ‘Well, water will do that.’ ‘I thought a steam explosion might happen.’ ‘With magic, the principles are probably different, right?’

“Let’s coordinate, yo! Dancing ice spirits, wind ships floating on the water’s surface, gather and grow plump into something this magnificent… Iceberg!”

Suddenly, from the water’s surface, a massive iceberg thrust upward with a thud!

Whoa, Windy’s magic is flashy!

Space Freya collides with the iceberg!

‘Grooooooar!! Groooooooar!!’

※ ‘She’s cooling down, cooling down!’ ‘It’s a strategy to thoroughly chill her!’

“My Iceberg can only be used near water, you see, and it doesn’t unleash its max power unless it’s the sea. It was the perfect situation!”

Windy looked satisfied at having created a huge iceberg.

Magic each has its own necessary conditions to produce maximum effect, after all.

Freya was also blazing fiercely, evaporating water and melting the ice aggressively, but!

Well, on our side, it’s just magic with sheer quantity on its side.

Judging by the scale, the odds aren’t in her favor.

“Alright, let’s go, Guard Mask—!”

“Ooh!!”

“I’m going too, desu!”

Hopping onto the drift ice Windy created, the three of them charged at Freya!

“Spice Gun! Whoa, loading up Drunk and Shock, rapid fire, rapid fire! Even if she resists, having her attention split on us will weaken her resistance to water, right!”

“Yeeeah! Blasting in a cold wind, desu! Blast Wind! Blast Wind! Blast Wind!”

When it comes to making things cold, Spice and Windy might be the ultimate tag team.

Freya’s flames were clearly growing weaker and weaker.

‘Gah, Aaaaaaaah…!! Spiiiiiiiiice!!’

“Even after losing your human form, being this obsessed with me is the height of streamer’s luck—but troublesome fans are a no-thank-you!”

“Yesss, no-thank-you! HAHAHAHAHA!”

※ ‘Two little girls laughing excitedly side by side!’ ‘A loli in a Japanese-Western apron dress, huh.’ ‘Ah—no good, she’s too cute.’ ‘They’re such a perfect match, and they were just fighting?’

It’s true!

And as they closed in to point-blank range, Guard Mask dashed across the drift ice, raising his fist.

“Ooooooh!! This town!! I won’t let you!! Have your way with it!! I’ll protect!! Everyone’s lives!!”

Whoa—, his fist glowed with a dazzling light!!

It was pounded into Freya with a furious barrage!

Each punch had the power of a dump truck charging forward.

‘Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!’

“Alright, time for the finisher—!! Spice is gonna get knocked out by this hit, so take care of it—!”

“Oh, is it okay to go defenseless in front of your rival, desu ka—? But, I’m not attacking today!”

I’m counting on you, Windy~!

This girl, deep down, isn’t an ally!

She’s a rival character!

“Spin, spin, spiral! Suck it in, swallow it up! This time we’re not banishing it! We’ll crush and twist it inside the vortex! It’s over, Freya! Spiral! Plus… Vortex!!”

‘Haaah! I don’t like joint operations with Marinna, but it’s definitely super strong magic, so there’s no helping it, yo—!’

‘Eeeh, that’s my line, yo—! But but, it’s exciting magic, I think it’s gooood~’

Flota and Marinna shone brilliantly, and in response, the water’s surface began swirling at an incredible speed.

The drift ice was about to get sucked in too, but the Spiral also has the meaning of blocking that off.

In other words, the side Spice and the others are on, the whirlpool, and the swallowing whirlpool are rotating in opposite directions!

‘Ugaaaaaaaah!! Gwaoooooooh!!’

Writhing and thrashing, Space Freya was swallowed up!

This is a victory of sheer quantity.

Freya, who received the power of the Great Fire Demon General and was boosted but lost her reason, becoming nothing but a raging, flame-spewing beast.

Even to escape the great maelstrom, she could only rage on instinct, so she couldn’t get away.

She was swallowed up bit by bit, disappearing into the vortex.

Finally, a scream of ‘Ugwaaaaaah!!’ was heard, and the water’s surface swelled up with a surge.

It exploded with a splash!

“Kyaa—”

Windy got drenched head-on by the spray of saltwater and tumbled over.

※ ‘Whooooa’ ‘Little Windy tumbling over is cute too!’ ‘Even knowing she’s Little Spice’s rival, I can’t help but become a fan.’ ‘Cuteness is too much justice.’

“You guys—, the Meat Brigade wouldn’t betray me, would you—… Ah—, I’m at my limit. Powering down—”

And there, Spice collapsed with a thud from Mana Depletion.

Guard Mask immediately gave him a sports drink to drink, so he came to.

“Are you alright, Ms. Spice! As expected, using a secret technique comes with a great cost…”

“Mostly right. Gotta build up my stamina!”

The Dungeonization was already starting to fade.

The former department store rubble dungeon—monsters that looked like attractions or former store employees were just staring at us intently.

No, it seemed like they were smiling and waving.

And then they faded away quietly.

What remained was truly just a pile of rubble from demolition work.

“This dungeon, it seems it suddenly appeared a few days ago, huh. Could it be… it provided a battlefield for Spice and the others, to keep the town from getting damaged? No way—”

I’ve never heard of a dungeon having that kind of will.

Here, Windy quickly turned her back to Spice.

“Fufufu, Spice! I’ll hold onto this match for now, shou!”

“Didn’t it kinda feel like Spice’s win?”

“I’ll hold onto it for now, shou!!”

“Ah, yeah.”

“I’m the one who’s gonna defeat you, desu! Until then, don’t get taken down, desu ne—! Haa—, with this, Old Lady’s mission should be accomplished, deshou. We fought, so ne—”

Muttering to herself, Windy floated up lightly.

She went off just like that… or so it seemed, but I confirmed she headed toward the station area!

“Well then, everyone, that’s the end of the stream! Thanks for watching—!! Otsuspa~!”

※ ‘Otsuspa!’ ‘The battle against Freya—a rematch of a fated battle where even the archives are gone.’ ‘Actually, Charaway has the archive.’ ‘Ma!? Let’s check and savor the afterglow.’

I see, so Little Chara had a part of Spice’s vanished records!

…And so, we defeated Freya, and Spice’s abilities improved considerably.

The issue has narrowed down to the stamina side, huh…

I escorted Guard Mask back to the bakery and bought some bread.

Then I met up with Windy, who had undone her transformation in front of the station.

Spice was still in his transformed state, so it looked like an older foreign sister and a little girl…

“Why haven’t you undone your transformation, desu ka?”

“At Guard Mask’s family home, I’ve only ever visited as Spice! Also, Guard Mask doesn’t know Spice’s original form…”

“Oh!! I love that kind of relationship, desu!”

Windy was overjoyed.
