Chapter 284 Hunting

Nikki would be lurking between the rocks at the bottom of the sea, waiting for an opportunity to strike. And thanks to the demon’s cautious and cowardly demeanor, even though they did not defeat it, at least they made it panic and run away.

Of course, Camus swung his sword with the intent of trying to kill the enemy, but as expected of a demon of the Azazel Sea, its defense was not half-baked either.

Still, because the strategy went well, it was a success more or less.

“Even so, that move……amazing.”

“Ehehe~, you’re making me blush desuzo~.”

“No, really amazing. Truly.”

“Thank you desuzo! That was 《Bakuken・Two-style》desuzo!”

Nikki puffed her chest proudly with a smile on her face.

“……only wait for now.”

“That’s right! Uu~ Well, I guess master won’t come back soon, would he?”

Waiting for Hiiro whom they yearned for mutually, they lay with the Iroboshi shells on their backs.

It was obviously dead. Moreover, not just being dead, there was a clean hole in the big head of the Count Octopus. You can see from a glance that this was the cause that had taken its life.

“……Fuu, it went well somehow, but I’m still lacking in concentration.”

With blots of sweat in his forehead, Hiiro gave out a sigh, feeling weak from the exhaustion.

“Well, it was good to have a target to try it out. Furthermore, a big one at that.”
