Chapter 249 – Rear Military Advisor Spice!

“Таlisа, hаvе you cаught uр to the Dеmon Genеrаl?”

“Саught uр! Тhis thing’s a truck thаt keeрs sрewing mоnstеrs оut thе bаck!”

“Sо that’s whеre the mоnstеrs wеrе coming frоm—the Dеmon Generаl wаs spitting them out. Okау, confirming that Talisа hаs pulled alongside аnd bеgun her attаck.”

Sрiсе is uр in the air, oversеeing the еntirе Dungеon and giving соmmаnds.

This time, сoordinаtion is the goal.

“Моrizel Cоmbо! Cаn you сatch up? Тalisа’s аttacks don’t seem tо be rеасhing the Dеmon Genеrаl wеll!”

“Roger! I’ll trу to рin it dоwn!”

Моritоn’s arrоw fliеs.

Аn arrоw infusеd with Concurrent Viewer Power reaches the Demon General in an instant with a howling roar.

It explodes right where the monster cars are being produced, causing a “Ughwaaah!” blast.

For just a moment, the creation of monster cars slows, and Zelger seizes the chance to charge in.

He strikes the Demon General truck with his lance from the opposite side of Talisa!

Moriton continues attacking the monster cars appearing over the van body (the cargo bed) with arcing shots.

With this, the monsters emerging have noticeably decreased…

“Little Yuusha, Sherry, I think you can accelerate full throttle now!”

“The enemies have thinned out! Okay! Full speed ahead!!”

“Since Spice is giving us an overview of the whole situation, it somehow feels easier to move. Go, go!”

The hoverboard and Tanuki Bus dash with a “Ponpokorin!” and reach the Demon General.

The Hero Party is all assembled!

Kaiware?

Kaiware has no fast means of running, so he’s sitting inside the Tanuki Bus.

※”Little Spice’s command is really shining through!” Maruchou “Precise instructions and information provision! On the battlefield, leaving everything to individual judgment is inefficient.” “Charaway used to handle combat command too, huh.”

Oh ho, Little Chara!

He leads Other Species in Dungeon Clearing, after all.

He’s a man of many talents, so hearing he did command makes sense.

Whoa!

Talisa in front of the truck Demon General, Morizel on the left, Little Yuusha on the right, and Sherry behind.

The encirclement is complete.

“I shall name this the Encirclement Annihilation Formation!”

※”Sounds familiar somehow…” “A pretty common name… lol” “Since it’s called annihilation…”

“All-out attack—!!”

Under Spice’s direction, the Hero Party begins attacking with maximum firepower!

Back-running Talisa unleashes a fierce barrage from the front, Zelger slams into it from the side, and Moriton relentlessly shoots down monster cars with arcing shots.

The monsters summoned by Sherry cling to the sides of the Demon General truck one after another, pounding away or attacking with magic…

“Whoa—! Full speed ahead!! Burdock Saber! Judgment Slash! Fire & Freeze End!!”

Against the Demon General, whose speed had dropped due to Talisa’s attacks, a giant Burdock Saber wreathed in fire and ice closes in!

And then, a single slash cuts it in two!

“Ughwaaah!! You’re stronger than I’d heard—!!”

Oh?

Did the Demon General know something?

But it vanished with its dying scream, so there’s no way to confirm!

The Tomei Expressway is liberated, and Spice and the others regroup at the bus!

The Tanuki Bus returns to its original bus form.

They continue zooming down the highway.

Oh, cars from the cleared traffic jam are catching up from behind one after another.

“Everyone—good work! Wow, Spice really enjoyed himself this time.”

“Nuh-uh! Thanks to Ms. Spice, we were saved!! Thank you!”

Little Yuusha shakes Spice’s hand vigorously.

“Somehow, it was clear where everyone was and what we should do next! It was the easiest to move around in so far!”

“That’s right! Since Spice kept sending battle info, even Talisa could immediately tell what she was doing. That helped so much—!”

It’s all thanks to Floppy cooperating!

Also, Little Afumu is working as an external brain.

Little Afumu scans ground information and sends it here, Floppy instantly creates an aerial-ground battlefield map from the received data and transfers it to the comrades’ A-Phones.

Then, the A-Phones display the full map at the edge of everyone’s vision, and they all move while glancing at it sideways.

Timing and such instructions are Spice’s role.

“Fao! I didn’t do anything though! HAHAHAHAHA!”

“This time, there weren’t any enemies dealing intense damage. Kaiware, I’ll request your sortie if it comes to that. Spice will personally launch you to wherever needed then.”

“Wow wow! That’s reassuring! …Launch…?”

He’s a sharp guy!

“Our role was a bit plain, but I’d be happy if you could make it look a bit more impressive. I know I’m asking a lot.”

“Okay, Zelger! Actually, thanks to Zelger drawing the enemy’s attention and Moriton handling Small Fry cleanup, the strategy worked! Next time, I’ll add some flashy commentary or something.”

“Thank you, Spice.”

Moriton smiles.

The Morizel Combo, whose popularity with women is skyrocketing.

And Sherry looks a bit troubled.

“This time it was a special environment like a highway, but other places might have narrower battlefields, right? Kaiware will be there, and Spice too, right? Will you be able to command properly?”

Oh, she’s worried!

“Spice has Floppy, and Little Afumu is helping too. We’ll overcome it with the power of science! Listeners are even developing an app for battle analysis…”

Everyone is surprised by this.

Hehehe, Listeners are what you need!

Apparently, it was originally an assist app for simulation games, but it’s been remade for group battles in Dungeons.

There’s a Meat Brigade member named Rump who’s good at programming, and he worked hard on it.

He’s Mashiro’s colleague.

And so, the battle against the Demon King is shaping up to be an all-out war involving not just Streamers but even Listeners.

With this vibe, the season is about to turn to summer!
