Little Girl Running Wild and High Spirited Chicken
>This chapter starts from headhunting little girl, Reina's POV.
"Ka, hyu...?"
"Gaha..."
"Gya...!"
Head cut, heart stabbed and twisted, forehead thrust with a blade. These demons kept dying one after another.
I raised my level a whole lot just from killing a few dozens or so. Demons really make for good experience points.
"W-what the hell's going on!? Arms grew out of nowhere and then, their heads..."
"Get away from the shadoooow! The enemy must have a Skill to assassinate and move around in the shadow!"
"Staying indoors makes you an easy prey! To the sun, escape outside!"
Hm, guess that's it for Shadow Dive-style assassination.
It was a piece of cake at first, those demons relaxing indoors were easy picks but they finally noticed after so many attempts and separated themselves from shadows.
Well, I was never under the impression this would work forever though.
Most of those demons seem to have gone outside. Time to get it going.
Welp, and push.
Sounds of explosions could be heard all over the town once I pushed the button on a magic device.
Remote controlled Mana Mines made by Julian-san. One of the outrageous weapons he hastily developed per Kajikawa-san's request.
With the addition of my 'Trap' Skill Ability, these mines got some real nasty firepower and range.
These explosions mercilessly turned the demons who evacuated outside into minced meat.
Those who lucked out, or rather unlucked out, didn't die right away, missing parts of their bodies.
"Ugaaaaaa!!"
"Higyaaaa!! Arm, my arm, u, uaaaa....!!"
"W-what just happened...!?"
...Prolonging their suffering is not right. Let's put them to peace stat.
I'm aware the sheer cruelty of this all, but I won't shed a single tear to the demons who did 'those things' to the town's populace underground. They all can go to hell for all I care.
I can tell my mind is turning murky. I wanna end this war quickly.
Ah, speaking of which, that muscle baldie (old man) was running around the town, wasn't he. Wonder if he got caught up in the...
"Ooo!? U, uwawawawaa! What the, what's this, you guys shot up fireworks to accompany my dynamic beautiful running forms or what!? Well ain't y'all charmers zeeehahahahaha!!"
...He's still in one piece. (Tch)
I feel like he's gonna survive anything. Like a roach.
Indestructible in a different way than Kajikawa-san...
"Signal confirmed! Chaaaaaaaarge!!"
"Get rid of those demons asap and liberate the town!"
"Our enemies can use both magic and attack, keep your guard up! Move in a pair formation of vanguards and rear guards!"
Now that the traps were set off, all the people I had saved so far marched ahead and went on to rout the scattered demons.
These demons are barely hanging by after all the shadow assassination and the mines popping off.
Our group may consist of an impromptu gathering of people, but they should manage dealing with this much at least.
...That's if nothing unexpected crops up.
"...No choice, we have to unleash 'that'...!"
"I wish it didn't come to that, but we are left with no other option."
"H-however, we all might end up as collateral...?"
"We're done for either way. Might as well send them all to the afterlife with us!"
"...Fair point, my mind is set...!"
These demons are talking about something ominous.
Let's get them dead before they bring trouble.
I dived in shadows, closed in on them and went for the neck like usual---
!?
A flash of light popped off near the demons as I closed in.
This light, Spark Wolf's Horn?
"That assassin might be lurking in the shadows! Keep shining on them as we proceed!"
"We'll be your shields until you're done unleashing that! Just focus on the unsealing!"
"Forget about us! We'll defend you to our death!"
"...Forgive me!"
...Uh, they're kinda. Like making a needless showing of camaraderie, but they're definitely up to no good.
How do I go about this. The other demons kept shielding their friend whenever I made a move.
"! Something's flying over here!"
"Shoot them down! We must stop them no matter what!"
I threw shuriken and kunai which I enlarged to kill those defenders, but they're so persistent.
This can't go on, can't be helped, I'll use my trump card!
"Dammit! The barrage just won't' stop! Show yourself up dammit!"
"Oy, aren't you done with the seal yet!?"
"Ah, it's... Kah---!?"
"...Eh?"
I cut off the demon who was busy trying to unleash something.
I had slipped past the demons' meat wall without either Shadow Dive or Ground Shrink.
I retrieved the 'Golden Kunai' on the ground next to the demon I just head hunted and threw 'Silver Shuriken' at the other demons.
"Gwu!?"
"D-dagger!? But this is nothing...!?
"...Ah?"
The demon who got hit by the shuriken made a dumbfounded voice as its head plopped down the ground.
"When, did... it...?"
"Alright, that's that. Sheesh, and I wasn't planning to use these cuz replenishing the mana is a pain."
I pierced the last demon's heart with my dagger, instantly killing it.
My instantaneous movement without Shadow Dive was made possible with 'Golden Silver Wolf Ninja Gear'.
A special ability of the shuriken and kunai pairs made from the materials of the Unique Magic Beasts Kajikawa-san and Alma-san killed at the Monster Prairie.
Their effect being 'Swap place of the thrown kunai/shuriken with the person holding the paired shuriken/kunai'
That is to say you can warp yourself to the place where the shuriken is thrown, up to 20 meter away, as long as you hold the kunai.
It doesn't work when it's too far away but anywhere my eyes can see is basically warpable.
Easily covers this whole town... You need to refill them with mana before they're usable again though.
I've only got three pairs left too. But well, not like there's many situations I can use them, guess this one is passable.
I mean, at least I managed to foil their evil plan before it came to fruition, it's acceptable----
"....Oh?"
I, I'm sensing some weird mana flow from the center of the town.
...Like it's, calling, something...?
Heck, some sort of flock is gathering in the sky...?
"...No way?"
I see a flock of hundreds dragons in the sky.
Each and every one of them is about Rank S.
...Were those demons trying to cast a spell to summon these dragons...!?
This might be more than I bargained for...!
Kajikawa-san seems to be exchanging fires with a huge presence too. I can't expect him coming... What do I do.

~~~~~~~Hiyoko's POV~~~~~~~~
I can't go on anymore. I'm gonna dieee.
It's so stinky, dirty and sticky inside the whale's belly. I don't wanna stay a second longer here.
I wish I had a full stomach of mom's cooked meal if I had to die here anyway...
Wonder what would mom do if he got eaten by a whale.
...Oh no, I could only see him eating out of the stomach all bloodied up. Way scary lol.
I can't do something like that. Breaking out from the inside is way too hard when the creature is this huge.
I might manage something with 'Eat Beak' Mana Cannon...
"Wooooo!! Get me outta heeeeere!!"
"C-calm down! Don't you shoot Farslash, it's gonna bounce baaack!"
On top of it, the inner lining of this magic beast's stomach seems to bounce magical and physical attacks, ordinary attacks do nothing.
Attacking randomly will only get you killed by your own attacks.
"Uwaaa! I, it got bounced back...!?"
"You moron! What did I tell you! Diffuse it or it's gonna keep bouncing everywhere until it hits something!"
The humans here almost got hit by their own magic and farslashes.
...Geez, they're so helpless. Here, let me take care of it.
『Cluuuuu...!』
"T-the chicken sucked in those magic and farslashes...?"
"H-hold it! If you spit that out here!"
Ah, crap.
Now that I think about it, it's gonna get reflected back again.
But I can't stop it anymore.
『Cluuuuuuuuuuuck!!』
The mana cannon I shot, hit the stomach lining.
And got bounced back to me of course.
Once more!
『Cluuuuuuu...!!』
"I-it's sucking in that reflected mana bullet again!?"
"It's gotten even bigger!"
『Cluuuuuuuuuck!!!』
I returned the reflected mana cannon at twice its original power.
'Eat Beak' is a Skill that sucks in mana-based attacks and returns them with my own mana added, so its firepower will only grow with each return fires.
If I keep doing this, then maybe...!
A crack formed on the whale's stomach lining but it still bounced my attack back.
One more shot then!
『Cluuuuuuuuu...!!!』
"U, uwaaa... The chicken's swelled up like a balloon!"
"O, oh crap, get away guys!!"
『Clluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk!!!!』
My biggest mana cannon yet.
I can't raise its power anymore.
It's over for me if this also doesn't work...!
The mana cannon I returned tore apart the whale's stomach, forming a huge hole on its body.
"H-hell yeah, time to get outta here!"
"You did amazing, chicken! You're too awesome!"
"I'll feed you beans later."
Don't wanna. Gimme normal meals.
Ah, the whale's up and died. Sheesh, all whale's that ends well.
My level shot up to Lv62 after killing this whale and a selection for my next evolution came up in my mind.
I'll pick the safe choice and go for 'Mithril Cock' here... Oh?
There's a ★ on another evolution option, what this?
