Chapter 88.1. Griffons Don’t Just Fly

Hello, Takano County. Takano Miu is here. The lovely beautiful girl is here~. I’m sorry for everyone. But I’m going to have a party first. I know it’s bad to start the party without permission, but please forgive me for my beautiful girl smile.

So, here is Miu charging into the forest.

With her gray hair that resembles silver in color and a fierce light in her deep blue eyes like sapphires, the young beautiful girl peels her double teeth like a ferocious beast.

She’s a beautiful girl who rides a griffon. She’s fighting against Martians who are planning to invade the earth. Please draw me a picture of a beautiful girl who rides a griffon.

With a dainty smile that made a flower break into a smile, Miu jumped into the forest of Count Takano’s house.

The forest is located in a large plot of land that would surprise the protagonist in the novel’s story. It’s truly a forest with towering trees with trunks five meters in diameter. I don’t know what they’re going to do with such a forest. Let’s grow some red pines and get matsutake mushrooms.

“You won’t get away!”

I ignore the angry voice of Zephyrus and rush forward, not caring that the branches and leaves spreading through the forest are in my way. There is no damage or impact from the branches and leaves. Of course, this is because it is a game specification. Even if I fly through the air and accidentally rush into a building, I don’t take any damage, because it’s a game specification. It’s just the way the game is.

“Okay, Guu-chan. I’m good here.”

“Kuueee.”

I can fight here. I can manage here to fight against the character-specific magic armor.

Magic armor is the flowery armament of The Night of Magic. It was more annoying than fighting monsters. Well, it was a school thing, so it’s not surprising.

I have never had a normal battle with magic armor. There are mass-produced magic armors, though. Character-specific magic armor is far different in its firepower, defense, special magic, skills, and many other aspects.

For example, there is a difference between a soldier and a tank. So, even if I fight them head-on, I will lose. There is such an incomparable difference in ability values. That’s how troublesome the character-specific magic armor is.

The Martian’s fighting ability is far different from when I fought at a party. I’m no match for him.

It would have been better if I had at least made my main job a Thief, but now I’m a Priest II. The bad part of being a player came out. In other words, it’s the petty spirit to change to another job and gain proficiency because it’s maxed out. I have a guard, and I never expected to be in battle with such a powerful enemy.

Takano Miu is an adorable, beautiful 10 year old girl. Isn’t there too many battle events for such a young beautiful girl?

Then I thought about it. Though how to fight Anemoi. A strategy that would not kill everyone. I thought about it and made a decision. This was the only way.

That was the battle in the forest. Here, I could use Guu-chan to its fullest potential, and I could do a lot of other tricks.

As I plunged through the branches and leaves, a trunk loomed up in front of them. Guu-chan sticks out its front leg, and with a thud, it puts its leg on the trunk and uses it as a springboard, jumping between the trees as if it’s kicking a wall. With a soft touch, Guu-chan uses one trunk after another as a springboard and disappears into the forest.

“Crap! The branches are in the way!”

Zephyrus soon chases after me, but in the dense forest of trees, his speed was a disadvantage to the contrary. Anemoi, with its magical barrier, would not take any damage. However, even without taking damage, his vision gets obstructed, and branches get in the way of their movement. He brushed off the branches to avoid crashing into the tree and chased after me, but his speed was inevitably slowing down.

I saw him, and clenched my little hand tightly, just as I had calculated. On the other hand, this one is different.

When the trunks close in, Guu-chan puts on its legs and uses them as a springboard, bouncing and moving. Instead of slowing down, it’s flying through the trees at high speed.

It’s a movement befitting a lion. With blinding speed that it left afterimages, Zephyrus was at the mercy of us, trying to catch our movement but unable to keep up with us.

“I don’t think the griffon is the king of the sky.”

While riding the griffon flying through the trees at high speed, I fly carefully not to crash into the trees and call out to the Zephyrus, which has completely lost its original Anemoi’s speed in a cute voice sounding like the chirping of a little bird.

“Little brat!”

[Shrinking Wind Blade]

Pointing his magic wand, Zephyrus shoots out small wind bullets like pachinko balls, like machine gun bullets. They easily pierce the trees and scatter the leaves. But I’m already gone from my place. Too late, Martian.

“The king of the sky is the eagle. The king of the land is the lion. Then what about the griffon?”

I move at high speed, speaking teasingly to Zephyrus. I wonder if he will blow away all the trees in anger, but contrary to his expectations, Zephyrus becomes quiet and hovering.

He dejectedly thinks that if he could knock the trees down, he could have used them as more obstacles. Seemingly calm, Zephyrus seems to be concentrating on catching me. He’s a character with a great sense of combat. I can’t believe it. Raising my alertness level at his appearance, I explain to him.

“I think, the griffon is halfway there. It can’t be a champion in the sky. It’s the same on land. Then, I’m just saying, where is it good?”

“You’re good in these environments, right? In a forest like this. Where you can fly and use the instantaneous force of a lion!”

[Wind Rampant Blade]

Zephyrus laughs amusedly and waves his magic staff sideways. He releases wind blades in all directions with Zephyrus at its center. It damages the trunk and cuts off branches and leaves, but its power is weak. It is magic to hinder Guu-chan’s actions.
