Chapter 34 – The Witch of Flame Battle, Live Stream!
“Еvеr sinсе our little spаr thе other dаy, I had а fееling, but I think shе fеll intо my traр even mоrе than I ехресted.”
I vоicеd my thoughts аs I dаshеd intо the dungeоn.
‘What dо you meаn “mоre than exреcted,” Master?’
※’Littlе Sрice fought that demоn bеfore!?’ ‘Is thаt the Witсh girl…?’ ‘Shе’s tоtаlly different from Littlе Spicе!’ ‘I’m gеtting strоng “no thank уоu” vibеs like a mаss-produсed mohawk girl!’ ‘Little Sрiсe is still the bеst!’
“Тhank уou, thank уou! Actuаlly, Sрiсe fought that Witch pеrson а littlе bit sоmewhеre befоrе, аnd when I did, she gоt all firеd uр аnd stаrtеd attасking еverуthing аround her. Ah, I realized, this person has a personality like an instant water heater! When she gets angry, she can’t see anything around her! This operation takes advantage of that! Flota, say everything out loud on the stream!”
‘Is that okay~? Hello to all the Peppers and Meat Brigade members~! Good evening soon~!’
※’It’s Little Flota!’ ‘Her voice is too good!’ ‘Good evening~!’ ‘To have an event like this before Christmas night!’
The dungeon entrance blew apart, and something like a flame-wrapped monster entered.
Orange hair, eyes both blazing with fire, wearing what looked like a robe the color of flames, spreading wings of fire.
A massive traffic jam of fire!
The temperature inside the dungeon shot up all at once.
Because she was so conspicuous, the goblins came charging at her, gob-gobbling…
“Small fry! Don’t come near me!! Burn!!”
‘Gob-gwaaaah!’
One burst into flames just from being glared at, another was grabbed by the head and instantly burned to ash, crumbling into charcoal, another was struck by a flaming wing and rolled around while flaming…
Yikes.
“Scary! Touch that and you’re out!”
※’Damn!’ ‘You can tell just by looking!’ ‘What is that!?’
‘No, no, flames like that are just for show, a scare tactic~. She’s wasting her Magic Power on unnecessary things, so her attacks are sporadic and lack sense~’
Flota, so harsh!
Hearing this, Freya of course flew into a rage.
“You little shit!! I’ll burn you to ashes right here!! Burn!!”
I felt the Witch of Flame’s eyes flash, so I hurriedly averted my gaze and kicked off the ground.
I’d already cast Levitation, actually.
I slid sideways, and a pillar of fire erupted where I’d just been standing.
“That was close!! But, but, Spice is gonna fight back too! I’ll take out this ballpoint pen! And this is a flame-retardant plastic sheet that can support one person’s weight! Also, flame-retardant cloth! I’ll fight with these!”
※’Perfect preparation against fire!’ ‘If it’s flame-retardant, it probably won’t burn, right~?’ ‘What’s flame-retardant?’
“That is~”
While I was explaining, the Witch of Flame charged at me with ferocious speed.
She really, really wanted to burn me with her own hands, it seemed.
It would have been troublesome if she’d shot fire pillars at me, but her straightforward nature saved me.
Perhaps because I was in Spice’s form, I was abnormally calm.
And in a cool corner of my mind, I realized that the one before my eyes was one of the people who killed my grandmother.
“Burn to ash, you brattttt!!”
A flaming hand swung down!
Aiming right at it, I floated a ballpoint pen to counter.
“Accel! Ballpoint Pen Missile!”
The ballpoint pen set I bought at the hundred-yen store fired out one after another.
One bounced off the Witch’s arm before melting and falling.
Several hit the Witch’s body before melting.
“Giiiiiiii!! What is this!? Annoying!! What kind of attack is this!?”
It doesn’t deal damage.
They lose their power by melting right before impact, so it can’t be helped, but even so, the fact that I had a shooting attack made the Witch’s movements slow down a bit.
She must be unconsciously wary.
But I know this Witch is an idiot!
“Flame-retardant means~. If it were just normal cloth, like this… Accel!”
“Hmph!!”
The Witch of Flame burned up the plain cloth I threw in one breath.
“It burns up, right? But flame-retardant cloth doesn’t burn up easily, it’s pretty tenacious! Like this! Accel!”
The next cloth I threw collided with a bullet of fire pillar created by the Witch of Flame.
The fire pillar had considerable force too…
But, my flame-retardant cloth held its ground against it for a while.
‘Wah!! Master, that’s so easy to understand~! Thank you for the practical demonstration, you shitty Witch~’
※’It really doesn’t burn!?’ ‘Amazing!’ ‘I use it at work, but this is the first time I’ve seen it actually being hard to burn.’
“What!? Cloth blocking my flames!? Don’t mock me, you little shitttttt!!”
“It’s, Concurrent Viewer Power! Absolutely don’t try this in real life!! Also, Spice’s Float fixes floated objects to spatial coordinates. It’s weak against physical pushing, but if it’s Magic vs. Magic, it’s a contest of strength!”
“My Magic Power is greater!! A little shit like you couldn’t possibly have that much power!!”
“That’s why I’m boosting it with concurrent viewers! Nah, nah, maybe an out-of-touch old lady like you wouldn’t get the streaming industry! Sooorry!”
“Brattttttt!!”
The enraged Witch of Flame stretched her flaming wings wide and sent a blast of hot wind at me.
Hot wind that made a sauna seem like nothing.
But, I’ll place flame-retardant banners here to make a wall!
“Guard!!”
※’Flame-retardant is amazing!!’ ‘Flame-retardant is all-purpose!’ ‘Even boosted by concurrent viewers, going up against fire is insane!’
Actually, even flame-retardant things burn.
So the fixed cloth is slowly being burned and shrinking, but.
This should have given the Peppers the impression that flame-retardant things are really hard to burn!
I had an intuition after watching that summary stream about the currently trending streamer, Kiraboshi Hazuki.
Her weapon is, of all things, a vegetable burdock root.
Such a thing shouldn’t be a weapon.
But she swings this burdock root around and performs well in many dungeons, and finally, listeners are coming to share the common understanding that Kiraboshi Hazuki’s burdock root is an extremely effective weapon in dungeons.
In fact, it’s been confirmed that even burdock root sold at supermarkets functions as a weapon in dungeons.
In other words…
To the extent it becomes a common understanding among listeners, that far-fetched reasoning or nonsense becomes truth!
Even a sardine’s head, if you believe in it, right?
So, the question is how to land this trump card, the plastic sheet.
With just Spice, holding my ground here is the best I can do!
“Time for some help~! Chara-chaaan!!”
“Hyahaa!! The cavalry has arrived, yeah!!”
Just as Charaway’s shout echoed, he came rushing into the dungeon entrance on his bike.
※’He’s all soaking wet!’ ‘Was it raining outside!?’
※’Charaway doused himself in water as a fire countermeasure, yeah!!’ ‘Now the preparations are perfect!’
Thanks for the explanation, Charaway’s listener-san!
“Hyahaa!”
No, no, no, you must be thinking, that’s ridiculous.
“Fools! My flames against mere water!!”
The flaming wings stretched out, aiming to strike Charaway down!
But, Charaway blocked it with the rubber tomahawk he held.
And he was continuously spraying water onto the tomahawk with a water gun.
“Perfect preparation, yeah!! Hyahaa!!”
※’Wooooooow’ ‘As expected of our post-apocalyptic mohawk streamer Charaway!!’ ‘The perfect countermeasure paid off big time!!’ ‘Having your hand revealed is your downfall.’
Charaway’s listeners are already beyond reason!
This is like a death game where the person who comes to their senses and says something half-sensible dies.
The faith of the listeners!
The heart that believes even a sardine’s head is an Evil Ward!
It rivals the ancient Witch’s super-mystery!
Eat our sardine’s head, Witch of Flame!!
“Wh, wh, what nonsense!! My flames with a water gun!?”
Even so, the water-dousing, gathered with faith, evaporated under the Witch’s flames.
Charaway turned the water gun to attack, discarded the rubber tomahawk that was starting to melt, and drove his bike.
After emptying the hundred-yen store water gun, he started firing the cool Water Gun mounted on his bike.
Driving while shooting the Water Gun one-handed is so Charaway.
I also used this opening to throw one hard-to-burn hundred-yen store item after another at the Witch to annoy her.
“Damn! Damn! Damn! You guys, annoying!! What are you guys!? This is the first time I’ve been made a fool of like this…!!”
The furious Witch couldn’t ignore mine and Charaway’s attacks either, defending with her flame power while slowly, steadily pressing forward.
The shabby attacks, having gained faith, were transforming into holy strikes that reached the Witch.
Both Charaway and I had our concurrent viewers increasing quite a bit.
The power just kept growing.
The Witch probably understood this was an abnormal situation.
Trying to crush me and end the situation, she sped up.
Using the lift generated by the flames, the Witch rose into the air…!
And she arrived right under the Dust Chute!
“Cornered, you little shit!!”
My back to the wall!
The Witch above me!
It’s the best position!!
I laugh.
“Ahaha!! The one cornered is over here, old laaady!!”
