Chapter 221 – Devour the colorful magic!

“Aha, уоu’vе nеvеr done ballеt, hаve yоu? But don’t wоrrу! Ме hаs mаgic that сan mimic—оr in mоdern tеrms, instаll—bаllеt mоvemеnts!”

“Wow, thаt’s so cоnvеniеnt!! Whу do yоu havе such a nichе mаgic?”

“Me’s main аrеa of activity wаs Еastern Europе until twо generаtions аgо whеn I wаs retrieved, yоu see. Тhаt kind оf thing was pорulаr in Eastеrn Euroрe!”

※ ‘Karafuri is wау too соnveniеnt lol’ ‘Doеsn’t it have evеrything?’ ‘I wаnnа learn ballet!’

Bаllet mоvеmеnts arе installed intо Sрiсe’s bodу!

Bright Sрiсе sрins аround, kiсking аwаy thе skеleton children!

The bouncing movements become kicking legs, sending the skeleton children flying!

※ ‘Ballet is so combative!’ ‘Isn’t one of them doing a different ballet!?’ ‘It’s creative ballet!’

“I enhanced your kicks for you! Right now, you have kicking power equal to an ostrich!”

“No wonder the skeletons I kicked went flying all the way to the wall! Whoa, but more skeleton children are showing up! Move! Let’s move! Ms. Marie, follow me!”

“Yes!”

And so, they move to the other side of the paired mirrors!

The place is exactly the same as before, but the scenery outside the window is a purple, inverted cityscape of buildings.

It’s bugged out.

Probably designed so that the more you’re chased by Grudge Spirits and move through the mirrors, the more confusing it gets.

But!

Spice plans to eventually smash everything and escape, so no problem!

“I’ve used Mana Perception for you. The entire area has Mana Reactions, but there’s clearly variation in density. Their concealment is sloppy, fuhyohyohyohyo! Yes, Master, right there!”

“Whoa, this seemingly empty space by the wall~, Kiiick!”

Then, with a “Ugwaaah!!” cry, a brick-shaped Grudge Spirit popped out and tumbled into view.

Spice immediately hit it with “Prism Beam!” “Ugwaaah!” The Grudge Spirit exploded!

“When Me’s magic power is forced inside, Ghosts explode! That’s a new discovery!”

※ ‘This duo is strong!’ ‘Karafuri handles every situation!’ ‘Can’t this thing do anything?’

“That’s not true! Me can only do what Me can do~! Oh, there’s a reaction to the Alarm Magic. The Ghosts are panicking and rushing in! That hidden Grudge Spirit just now must have been the Dungeon’s core.”

The paired mirrors now have several strange lines running across them, like a broken display.

“Makes you wanna break it, doesn’t it?”

Ms. Marie is a martial type—!

“I get the feeling. But, we should observe a bit more before doing that. We’re currently breaking things while steadily revealing the opponent’s hand. The gimmicks set up from the beginning probably still have some role to play.”

“I see!”

She’s understanding!

As expected of a former Labyrinth Conqueror.

She’s actually Spice’s senior by far, but the fact she can honestly accept opinions like this is probably proof she’s survived all this time in an era without streams.

“Karafuri, I tried touching the mirror, what’s up?”

“The destinations are scrambled! Hmm, according to Mana Perception, there are 86 Floors ahead. I see, with this many, it’s plenty to make intruders panic. And in terms of magic density, only one of them is important! We’ll move there. Ah, Me has already hacked the Dungeon’s structure.”

“Strong—!”

“Fuhyohyohyohyo! It’s because Master can buy time so precisely! If you were the self-centered type or the weirdly reclusive type, it wouldn’t work!”

He mows down the emerging skeleton children with Diffusion Prism Beam.

The weak ones can be defeated, the strong ones are just staggered.

But, that’s enough!

The Dungeon structure completely analyzed by Karafuri.

Connecting the bugged mirror directly to this Dungeon’s core!

“I see, so that’s the kind of magic a Grimoire can do.”

“That’s right! Like this, and like this… I’ll make it visually understandable for the stream too. Me is not used to streaming, so please forgive the cheap visuals.”

“Not at all, I’m learning from this too.”

“Hyo, you’re just a regular person, but you have understanding!”

Karafuri finishes hacking the mirror while chatting with Marie.

What’s happening seems to be sent directly to the floppy as cheap animations.

※ ‘Easy to understand!’ ‘The drawings are cute lol’ ‘Huh!? Isn’t this Grimoire doing something outrageous?’ ‘It’s been using nothing but indirect tactics, but every single one critically solves the situation!’

“Fuhyohyohyo! The essence of the Magic of Color is using the necessary magic, as much as needed, when it’s needed! It’s not about using it recklessly. This plain approach is the strongest. Witches who can’t understand that just extract colors and erode things with paint. They’re small fry.”

※ ‘It’s totally dissing the Witch of Colors lol’ Maruchou: “She really was dissatisfied with how she was used back then… Seeing her current activity, I can understand.” Rump: “Little Spice is an ideal Master who holds the reins but properly lets the Grimoire do what it wants.”

“Ooooooh!! Resentful… so resentfulllll!”

Whoa, the Boss Grudge Spirit, the Ballet Teacher, is here!

Seems to be using brute force to force its way out of the mirror.

“Looks like control over movement through the paired mirrors is shifting to our side.”

“Here, hacking complete! Let’s go!”

“Here we go—!”

Spice swiftly moves through the paired mirrors!

The final destination is an isolated room in the ballet school.

The office.

There, an older woman is bowing her head before a PC screen.

She raises her face and glares sharply at Spice.

“Youuuuuuuuu saaaaaaaaaaw meeeeeeeeeee”

Her form swells, transforming into the pale type of Boss Grudge Spirit!

Boss Battle—!

While scattering office desks and PCs, her legs swing around.

Incredible speed!

Spice dodges with creative ballet movements or leaps onto the kicking legs!

“Prism Beam! Oh no! The opponent is coming at me recklessly, so it’s not very effective!”

“Me doesn’t dislike Master’s direct magic like that either! It’s refreshing, like clear weather! But beams are thin, for finishing off big guys, compression is better! Imagination is Master’s specialty, right? I leave it to you!”

“Okay! Then I’ll imagine… a circulating Prism Beam!”

“Nuoowaaaaaaah!!”

The Boss Grudge Spirit swings wildly, trying to throw off Spice who’s on its leg.

But by then, the magic image inside Spice is already complete!

Turning the Prism Beam into a rotating saw blade, he releases it!

“Whoa!! Go! Eight-Cutting Prism Halo!!”

The Prism Beam keeps spinning, a seven-colored rotating saw blade flies!

When the Boss Grudge Spirit tried to kick it away, the halo cleanly sliced through that leg and bounced boing! right into its face!

“Ugwaaah!!”

The Eight-Cutting Prism Halo that struck the Boss Grudge Spirit’s face rotates super fast!

Splitting it clean in two from head to crotch!

“Ugwawaaah!!”

I’m sure there were all sorts of circumstances, but once you become a Grudge Spirit cursing people, it’s over.

And so, along with that grudge, it’s torn apart!

The Dungeon is dismantled in an instant…

Leaving just a terribly ransacked, ordinary office.

It was just partitioned off, huh.

“Hmm, I learned a lot! I see, the composition is like this…”

“It might not be very useful as a reference though—”

“No! Thank you, Little Spice! I’ll take this back and present it to my husband too!”

Marie, in high spirits, took Spice’s hand and shook it vigorously.

“I’m glad you’re happy! Seems like Karafuri took a liking to you too, Ms. Marie.”

“Whee! Let’s collab again! Your outfit is white too, I feel sympathy!”

And so!

Everything was settled amicably, and the Debut Reveal Stream came to an end.

Wow, Bright Spice is way too convenient.

The firepower is a bit low, but I’ve learned that firepower isn’t everything!
