Chapter 258 – Let's Go See the Demon King Countermeasure Buildings

Since the dесisive battlе seemеd tо bе аррroaсhing, I decidеd tо go tо Оdаibа with thе membеrs of thе Herо Раrtу.

Why Odаiba?

Вecausе!

“А huge structure is being built in Тоkyo Bay, уоu know. I hear half of it is mаdе from non-еxistеnt mаtеriаls brought from elsewhеre using Arts, sо арparеntlу it сan be dismаntled right aftеr everything’s ovеr.”

“Еngland is alsо рroviding full сooрeration. Sinсe оur сountry has many mаges, thеir роwer сombined with Jараn’s Onmyоji might be рrоduсing this еffеct.”

Shеrrу surе knows а lоt.

Moriton, Zelger, and Kaiware, who have little connection to magic-related matters, were impressed, going “Whoa.”

“From Sudan too, my Mama and grandmother are participating.”

“Even the Talisa family!”

With their daughter becoming part of the Hero Party and earning substantial foreign currency, Sudan seems to be thriving.

So, the country is sending shamans in full force to support us here.

And from Sudan, Talisa-follower Streamers have been popping up here and there, and they’re actively suppressing Dungeons.

Good move!

“Well then, shall we go take a peek?”

At Spice’s suggestion, Little Yuusha’s eyes widened.

“Is that okay!? It’s under construction, and it’s off-limits to non-related personnel!”

“Fufufu, actually, Spice properly made an appointment through the Labyrinth Ministry. I made full use of an adult’s networking power.”

Exclamations of admiration leaked from the Hero Party members.

Well, this is truly the power of connections I’ve been steadily building up until now.

You could say connections make up the majority of an adult’s power.

And the rest is experience.

Spice has both, so young people, rely on me!

And so, I led everyone through the personnel-only corridor.

It was built quite wide, so even the large Centaur Zelger could walk three abreast.

This is amazing.

As we walked down the corridor with clanging sounds, the workers greeted us.

“Why is there a little girl in a place like this…!? Oh, right, we were notified about Ms. Spice!”

“Hello, hello! Thanks for your hard work! Here, a little something! Please share it with everyone!”

A salt yokan set!

It has coolant packs inside and is ice-cold!

Since an enormous salt yokan set suddenly appeared, the workers were surprised.

Fufufu, you see.

For Floppy, who only lacks storage functionality, the two books Mentaris and Karafuri created a new storage magic for it!

In terms of volume, it can store luggage equivalent to one small container in a subspace.

The weakness is that it has an expiration date.

The subspace only lasts 24 hours, so anything stored there gets spat out here with a plop when the subspace collapses.

『Even so, I am very happy to have gained storage ability. Brother Mentaris, Brother Karafuri, thank you so much!』

『Fufufufufu! I’m glad you’re happy, I am. For us, you’re a cute little sister, after all.』

『That’s right, that’s right! It was fun making magic after a long time! Please make full use of it!』

And so, the first use was transporting salt yokan!

Other workers gathered and received the salt yokan.

They seem to have water with them, so please replenish your salt and energy with this yokan.

Ah, I think it’s a bit more moist, so it should be easy to eat!

“A considerate person… Ms. Spice is such an adult…”

“Mufufu. Well, you see, I’m about to become a father of two.”

The Hero Party stirred.

“Twins!? Congratulations!”

“Congratulations, Spice!”

“Congratulations!”

“When the baby is born, let me hold it.”

“Which? Boys? Girls? Both?”

“The talent will be inherited…”

Amidst great excitement, we arrived at the venue.

Well, I received so many congratulations.

Happy events are nice, aren’t they?

Arriving at the venue in high spirits, Sherry, Talisa, and Little Afumu reacted the moment we entered.

“This…!! A Barrier has been set up!”

“It’s a pretty powerful one, right? If we go too deep, our Spirits might get taken away!”

『Eek, if I go in, I won’t be able to get out.』

“Terrible!”

Yuusha hugged Little Afumu tightly and stepped back.

The inside of the building is well-cooled by air conditioning, but there are a few members who can’t enter, huh.

Incidentally, Zelger the Centaur seemed unaffected.

And when Kaiware tried to enter, the venue creaked for a moment.

Ah, something feels dangerous!

“Kaiware, entry prohibited~!”

“Oh no!? Why!?”

『Hmm, I’ll explain this!』

Ignite jumps out!

“Oh! Fire Spellbook Ignite! Please explain! Why just me!?”

『From what I can see, you aren’t about magic or such things, but you possess a power that nullifies even offensive barriers and the like by your very existence. So, when you go to a place with intentional mechanisms like this… Boom』

Ignite expresses an explosion sound in a deep voice.

But this expression seemed to resonate well with Kaiware.

“Okay!! I understand well! Then I’ll observe from outside!”

Kaiware obediently stepped back and began walking around the venue’s perimeter with Zelger, Moriton, and Talisa.

Sherry is impressed with Ignite’s explanation.

“You understood that incomprehensible man well… How?”

『Well, in the past, there was a guy who tried to create a dark Grimoire. The Grimoire was about ninety percent complete, but due to the Gravity Magic depicted in it, that guy was dragged into the Grimoire along with the surrounding area and vanished. At that time, he showed the same reaction. Well, since he has absolutely no effect on his surroundings, he is essentially completed Gravity Magic itself.』

“Whoa!”

Even Spice is surprised at this!

Kaiware, was he something like a born completed form of Gravity Magic!

No wonder no attacks work on him.

Probably, all attacks are either warped by gravity or repelled by repulsive force.

Something incomprehensible is happening, and its original scale seems even larger than this concert venue intended to imprison the Demon King.

What an unbelievable guy.

But my sense of security with him as a shield has increased!

The decisive battle coming up soon, I’m counting on you, Kaiware~!
