Chapter 196.1: Rewrite and Kinako

My name is Hayama Relight. I am just a cool and handsome guy you can find anywhere.

This handsome me suddenly got involved in the class summoning to another world but―― Thanks to my transcendental communication prowess, I managed to team up with forest bear-san from another world. Currently, we were travelling together in the forest.

So, let me to introduce my buddy, Kinako the bear.

「Hey Kinako, do you know the road around this area?」

「ThiS AreA iS OutSide OUr TerriTorY. ThiS Is The FirSt TimE I haVe comE to ThiS PLAce.」

「Oioioi, seriously!?」

「ThAt WaY Is To EnTer DeePEr InTo ThE FoResT. ThiS WaY iS To LeaVe The ForeSt.」

「I see, you never came to this place but know the direction that leads us to exit.」

「Exit? What’s THat? WaTch OuT, ReLighT.」

「Hahaha, don’t worry about it! Considering the fact that many strong fellas live in the deep part of the forest, it means that only small fries live in the shallow part.」

Well, no matter what kind of monster was going to come out, the strongest combi of Kinako and me were invincible―― And, right at the moment I had those thought,

「BUNGURUDOUGA! GUBOZEBA!」

「NBA, NBA!」

「Awawa… Who in the world are these disgusting fella… They sound like bad news…」

When we were taking a short break after walking inside the forest for one hour, those guys suddenly appeared.

The black fellas who looked like humanoid cockroach with dangerous air around them rushed toward us with spears and stone axes similar to the ones used by cavemen.

They communicated in an unknown language with disorderly grammar, a single glance at them was enough to convince me that communication with them was impossible.

Our side had Kinako and me, but there were around ten of them… Ah, oi, circling around is cheating!

「Goma!」

「Go What?」

「They’re goMa. EnEmy. StEp BacK, ReLIght.」

Kinako bared his fangs towards them as he raised a menacing growl.

Goma, the name of the disgusting-looking black fellas, only had physical strength equal to that of a kid, but they were armed with weapons and always overwhelmed their prey with their number.

The reason they didn’t escape despite Kinako’s threatening growl was most likely because they knew that they had a numerical advantage.

「I-I-I’ll fight with you!」

「ReLiGhT, It’S tOo DaNgeRous.」

「Better than you fighting by yourself! I have got your back, Kinako!」

「ReLiGht…」

Stop worrying about me. It’s not like I can escape either since they had already surrounded us.

「ORA, COME AND GET THE PIECE OF ME, FU*KING COCKROACH!!」

I shouted along with Kinako’s menacing growl but… Fudgeeee, I don’t have any weapon at all.

Damn it, I should’ve picked up a fallen branch or something along the way to be used as a weapon, but it was too late now. I mean having a weapon in this situation was clearly much better than fighting barehanded.

In short, the only thing that I could barely use as a weapon right now was the school bag that I’d always carried with me.

Since I’d literally crammed all of my textbooks, notebooks, and reference books, it was quite heavy to the point that I considered the option of throwing its content but still… A filled-up bag was much better than an empty one.

Those gomas looked very thin and added to the fact that their weapons were rusty, I didn’t think they could pierce through this bag of mine. They won’t be able, right? Please my bag, I believe in you!

「Gububu, Geburaaaaaaaaa!」

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, THEY COMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?」

Finally, the gomas rushed at us.

Despite being a pipsqueak, seeing them approaching with the edged weapons still scared me shi*less. Even so, I barely managed to brace my legs since I knew from the fluffy feeling on my back that Kinako was fighting with me.

「WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

I brandished my bag earnestly. Yes, I literally brandished my bag in desperation while raising incomprehensible cries and barely managed to prevent the gomas from approaching.

「Guba, gobugura.」

「Nbaba!」

Seeing me prepared to fight like a trapped beast, the gomas didn’t dare to get close to me… Or not, these fu*kers actually had the gall to sneer at me!

They knew immediately that the strike from my heavy bag wouldn’t cause a fatal wound. That’s why those fu*kers were sneering at me, fully aware of my unsightly struggle.

「Y-Yeah, I’m not strong like Souma or Tendou, I can’t even use magic…」

I ran out of breath immediately after swinging my bag wildly. When will these gomas come to me? They had been emanating a dangerous air since a while ago.

「But I’ve my partner, Kinako! Pipsqueaks like you guys ain’t gonna beat us!」

「PUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Kinako rushed toward the gomas who aimed at me as he raised a deafening roar that shook the forest.

It seemed those guys were too engrossed in ridiculing me to the point that they failed to realize that Kinako had already defeated their comrades.

Yes, when they were busy ridiculing me, I had accomplished my duty of protecting Kinako’s back!

「DO IT, KINAKO!」

「PUGUGU, PUNGAAA!」

Appearance-wise, Kinako looks like a certain popular teddy bear on earth, but his power was that of a genuine monster bear, much more powerful than a human.

His tuffy and thick fur repelled the rusty blade of the gomas. And then, Kinako closed in on the gomas immediately and unleashed his deadly claws attack.

「BUGE――」

His claw strike was so strong that the gomas were literally sent flying till they vanished into the thicket. They might be lightweight creatures, but Kinako’s brute strength also played an important role in this regard.

A swing of his arm was enough to send those gomas flying to the horizon; one after another they tumbled to the ground like a sack of potatoes. His overwhelming strength had literally twisted their heads as easily as snapping a twig, his claws sharp enough to tear their bellies.

Kinako had turned the table against the gomas.

Or rather, Kinako is STRONK, like SUPER STRONK. Kinako was invicible.

「PUGAAAAAAAAAAA!」

After he sent the last of Goma flying, Kinako raised victorious cries.

「You did it, Kinako! You’re number one!」

「Pugugugu, yaaay.」

Kinako raised his hands as if celebrating his victory.

「Yup, you really are.」

I was also clapping my hands, praising Kinako――

「Buguru, goba, unzuruba!」

「UWO, THERE’S ANOTHER ONE!?」

A new goma appeared from behind the thickets.

It shouted the same filthy groan but… this guy seemed to be a head taller than the other gomas that we defeated just then.

「No way, a boss goma.」

「Back down Relight, this guy is bad news.」

「O-O~h….」

It seemed they were going to decide the victor between them. Yeah, there was no place for me to enter this battle.

「Be careful, Kinako. That guy’s spear seems to be much more powerful than the ones held by the other gomas.」

The spear in the hand of that goma boss was clearly much more powerful. It was different from the other gomas whose spear looked like a mere long branch with a knife tied up on its tip, boss goma’s spear was entirely a spear. The tip had no rust, and it looked too eerie.

I had this feeling that the spear could pierce through Kinako’s fur.

「Pugugu…」

「Gobubu…」

Both sides were glaring at each other, tense air drifting between them.

I gulped my spit upon witnessing this tense air.

What would happen in this match?

「GEBURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

The goma made its first move!

It closed in quickly and unleashed the spear, thrusting while raising a warcry!

「PUGU――」

Oh crap, the metal tip pierced Kinako’s trunk!?

「GURURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Kinako raised a warcry as he brandished his arm.

Kinako didn’t try to dodge the spear, he received the attack and used that moment to unleash a deadly counter.

「BUGEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Kinako’s claws silently tore through the goma’s body. Right at its throat, raising a spray of fresh blood as the goma wailed in despair.

「Buuu… Gu, gueeeeeeeee…」
