Chapter 294.1. Fighting Together With Tamamo-chan And The Others

The glass tube shattered, and people emerged, about 30 of them. Surprisingly, there were fewer adults, and children stood out prominently among them.

Among them were the figures of Tamamo-chan and her family.

“Tamamo-chan! Oji-san! Oba-san! Haru-kun! Kon-chan!”

Tamamo and the others squatted down, coughing painfully with dry throats. They hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for days, so their throats must have been dry.

Rolling over to Tamamo-chan’s side, I rubbed her back. Kon-chan also curled up, looking uncomfortable.

“Ugh… Em-chan? Where are we? Where is Tamamo?”

Seeing Mii-chan’s figure, Tamamo-chan asked, leaving me pondering how to answer. I couldn’t tell her that we were in a shoddy-made God Realm. She would find it strange that Mii-chan knew about a sanctuary, and she might think she was a weirdo. It would ruin the image of the sweet, innocent, and passionately just Mii-chan had built up until now.

So, clever Mii-chan decided to give an appropriate and unsuspected explanation.

“It’s probably the boundary of the secret organization Nidhogg. They kidnapped Tamamo-chan and the others, so I came to help.”

I couldn’t afford to joke about this. I had to answer seriously to avoid suspicion. Besides, it was Nidhogg who kidnapped them. After all, Hrungnir appeared in the stuffed animal play, so it had to be related to Nidhogg in some way.

And even if it wasn’t, they were a villainous organization, so what’s the harm?

“Em-chan came to help by yourself!?”

To Tamamo’s astonishment, I nodded.

“Yeah, it’s a powerful barrier, so even with Shishou’s help, only Mii-chan could get in.”

“Thank you, Em-chan!” Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

Tamamo embraced me with tears in her eyes, and Kon-chan patted my knee, probably expressing gratitude.

“I had a strange dream, you know? I was killed by a big man over and over again. The Tamamo in my dream didn’t notice and kept repeating it. It was really scary.”

“Mii-chan was looking at the world of stuffed animals. It was a fairy-tale-like dream. Those are my new stuffed animal friends.”

She had received many stuffed animals. Looking at the fox and rabbit plushies that were rolling around, Tamamo wiped away her tears and smiled.

“Em-chan, you’re still the same. You’re Em-chan no matter where you are.”

“Yeah! I’m me forever, no matter where I am!”

I answered with a proud smile.

“Miu-chan, is it true that this is the Nidhogg boundary?”

“Yeah, that’s why we need to escape as soon as possible.”

Aburage dad approached me seriously, and I agreed. He started inspecting his clothes.

“…Strange. We were kidnapped, but I have magic tools.”

He took a talisman from his pocket and activated a ring on his finger, transforming into a battle mode that seemed out of place.

Aburage mom, too, pulled out a necklace like a magic trick and deployed a magic barrier.

“That’s right, Dear. It must be very powerful, but this seems to be a trap-type boundary that even a spellcaster can’t control.”

“It seems so. There should be a central core to break this kind of barrier. Let’s destroy it quickly and escape.”

“Yeah, Kon-chan, Heeenshiiin!”

“I, too, will fight from a distance. Miu-chan, stay behind me!”

I understood they came from a family known as masters of magic tools. They were a family too accustomed to battle, and even young Haru-kun seemed eager to help.

Mii-chan nodded knowingly and pretended to understand the trap-type barrier, even though she shouldn’t ask what that meant.

Mii-chan was good at reading the room. Although her memory recounted that this area was a collapsed world management zone due to overconsumption of cotton candy, she couldn’t contradict that after telling a lie.

“Hey, you humans, gweh!”

“This is a Navi doll made by Shishou. It helps us find things.”

I grabbed Heimdall’s head, who had stumbled closer, and showed it to everyone. A doll, yes, this is a doll. An airheaded doll that couldn’t read the room.

“Thanks to this, I was able to get this far, even though I struggled.”

I kept the fact that it seemed like it could only play the harmonica a secret. It had been sealed in the doll at a crucial moment.

“Then, can you have the Navi find the location of the core?”

“Well, you might not need that.”

Aburage dad asked with a determined expression, but I pointed toward the back of the room.

The white floor at the back opened on both sides, revealing a rusty metal coffin about five meters in size. With a hiss of escaping air and a creaking sound, it slowly began to open.

It’s an easy-to-understand boss appearance.

“I see. There might be no need to search. Tamamo and the others stand behind me. You kids over there. Come this way quickly.”

Aburage dad called out to the confused children emerging from other glass tubes.

“Oh… yes, everyone, hurry!”

A girl with a familiar face, as if I’d seen her somewhere before, called to the other children. Some were too scared to move and needed to be carried over.

The children gathered behind us, and at the same time, the metal coffin fully opened, and with heavy footsteps, something emerged from it.
