Bear-san Fight’s the Sli (2)
Kagali-san and I put a distance between ourselves from the Sli for a mont.
“Yuna, you have no other way? You must have so kind of bear power.”
“Do you have any special move, Kagali-san? You’re a fox, right?”
“As I said before, I have not regained my powers as I had hoped. Simply put, I am not powerful enough to use magic while flying in the sky. I underestimated the Sli’s capabilities.
I was not so sure about that.
I never thought that magic would be so ineffective.
Even if I tried to destroy the inside of its body, it would be imdiately ejected. Even if I tried to use lightning magic, it would diffuse in the process.
Actually, I was optimistic because of my bear magic and lightning magic.
I had no idea that giant Sli would be so troubleso.
Even in gas, I had never fought a Sli this big. At most, it was as big as a person, maybe a little bigger.
I doubt anyone had ever fought a Sli big enough to cover a part of a town.
“Well, what are we going to do now?”
Kagali-san looked at the Sli from a distance.
The least we could do was ensure its movents were slower than expected.
Strength really was not proportional to appearance.
The biggest problem was that magic could not be controlled once inside Sli’s depths.
How to manipulate magic at a distance….
The word “manipulate” reminded of the ti I was with Marina and the others in the town of Shirin when we were defeating moles.
Elle was manipulating magic by putting water magic into the mole’s hole.
I explained to Misa that it would be harder to manipulate it if it was removed from her hand, but easier to control it if it was still connected to her hand.
That was what I was told at that ti.
“Kagali-san, can I try sothing?”
“Yeah.”
Kagali-san looked for the magic tools, and I moved to a position where I could see them.
“I think I’ll try around here.”
I created a rope from my Bear Puppet. The rope was made with earth magic.
I then stretched the thin rope of earth made with earth magic towards Sli.
The rope that ca into contact with the Sli from the mouth of my Bear Puppet and went inside.
It was being dissolved as I expected, but I supplied it with more earth magic to reinforce the rope each ti it did so.
And as I went deeper into the Sli, the earth magic was still connected to , so I could still operate the magic.
Well, if wireless was not an option, I would use it wired.
Even in gas, the wired connection worked better than the wireless one, and it never cut off.
Another example would be a wireless cell phone charger. If you take it away from the charger stand, it won’t charge. But if it was connected to a cable, it would still charge no matter how where you placed the phone, as long as the wire could reach it.
This ti, I was the machine that supplies magic power, and the earth-magic rope served as the cable.
And if I could not connect wirelessly, I decided to use wired instructions.
The earth magic, extended like a cable, goes deep inside Sli’s body.
No matter how deep inside, it can be manipulated. I extend the earth magic toward the magic tool.
“I see, so you keep the magic power flowing. I guess, that is only possible because Yuna has a large amount of magic power.”
But unexpectedly, it was difficult to keep the magic power flowing because the earth magic was being lted.
But if I used earth magic to grab the magic tool and crush it, that would be the end of it.
“Almost there.”
When the earth magic stretched like a rope was about to catch the magic tool, the magic tool moved.
“It dodged!?”
The rope of earth magic passed through the side of the magical tool.
I aid at the magical tool to pull back the rope of earth magic, but again it evaded .
Finally, it moves out of sight to the back of its body.
I suspended my earth magic, making the rope dissolve with its magic power supply removed.
“Is it protecting the tool?”
I could only assu so.
“But I don’t think Sli has the intelligence to protect magic tools.”
“Perhaps, but it may have been the created who placed a formula together to protect it from being broken?”
There was a large number of magic tools made. It was created with the intention of manipulating the huge Sli. Even with a normal-sized Sli, it would beco a big problem if the magical tools were to break.
“It could be. It’s a tricky thing to deal with.”
Well, it could also be possible that the Sli had a will and was protecting the magic tool, different from what Kagali-san said.
Then again, I tried several tis and the biggest problem I had was making the magic tool move far away from .
The further away they were, the more difficult it would be to track them.
Moreover, if they entered our blind spot, I could not do anything.
Kagali-San would give instructions from above, but I could not see them from my side.
Even if I wanted to move, I would have to make a big detour.
The only one who could follow the magic tools was Kagali-san, who could fly.
Also, as a matter of fact, the longer the earth magic was, the more magic power I had to keep pouring into it so that the part protecting the earth magic would not dissolve.
“Kagali-san, can you carry and fly?”
Only I could attack the magic tool inside the Sli.
And only Kagali-san, who could fly, could chase after it.
Then all I have to do was to have Kagali-San take along when flying.”
“Do you want to ride on a little girl like ?”
“No, I am not going to ride Kagali-san as a little girl. I just thought maybe for a short ti you could beco a big fox and let ride on your back.”
I have no interest in riding Kagali-san as a little girl.
I could not let people see in a stuffed bear costu riding on top of Kagali-san as a little girl.
“I don’t really want to look transform into that since I’m not in good shape yet.”
“You can’t?”
Then I would have to co up with another idea, but I couldn’t think of one imdiately.
“…It’s not that I can’t do it. However, it will consu a lot of magic power, so I won’t be able to do anything except fly.”
“All you have to do is carry and chase after the magic tools.”
“Okay. I will give you a ride if you can destroy that magical tool.”
Kagali-san agreed and took off her clothes.
Naked, Kagali-san’s body glows gold, and her body transford. Her face becos pointy, her arms and legs turn into animal feet, her body is covered in golden fur, transforming her into a big fox. At the sa ti, her body grows large enough for to ride her.
“Here, get on!”
I placed the clothes Kagali-san had taken off in my bear box and climbed onto her back.
“Here we go. Hold on tight, I can’t help you if you fall into Sli.”
Unlike Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, there was no fall protection.
If I fell into Sli, it would be the end of .
Kagali-san flew with on her back.
After all this ti, I think this might be the first ti I’ve flown. If this wasn’t the ti to take down Sli, I would have enjoyed it.
Unlike Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, it was unstable. If I didn’t ride it properly, I might really fall off.
“There it is!”
Kagali-san’s ears twitched as she discovered the magic tool. I firmly clamped Kagali-san’s body to prevent myself from falling, put magic power into my Bear Puppet, stretched out the earth magic like a rope, then chased after the magic tool inside the Sli.
Then, when the magic approaches, it was avoided in the sa way as before.
I, on Kagali-san, continued to chase after the magic tool.
“How can it move so fast!”
It avoided the mont I touched it.
It was difficult to catch it.
The longer the earth magic goes on, the more disadvantageous it becos for .
Then, if one didn’t work, two should do.
I sent out another earth magic from my other Bear Puppet, and chased the magic tool that escaped. Nevertheless, the Sli’s body was so big that chasing it was troubleso.
I could chase around if it were near the surface of the Sli, but chasing further inside the Sli’s body was difficult.
Finally, I managed to trap the magic tool, which had lost its escape route, and pushed it out of the Sli.
“Got it.”
Just when I thought all that remained was to destroy it, a part of Sli stretched out, seized the magic tool, and returned it to its body.
It was an in an instant, and neither Kagali-San nor I could react fast enough.
“Again!”
I tried to push the magic tool out of the Sli in the sa way, but it was imdiately taken back into my body again.
“Yuna, can’t you catch it inside your body?”
“I can’t, the grimoire moves too fast, and the longer the magic goes on, the more magic power I have to pour into it to keep it from lting.”
When chasing the magic tool, the earth magic would inevitably be longer.
Furthermore, perhaps because I was inside the Sli, it was more difficult to manipulate the magic than I had expected.
It moves slower than in water.
The unique viscosity of Sli was making it slower.
“Kagali-san, you can’t use magic after all? Like, hit it with magic the mont it pops out?”
“I’m too occupied with flying in this form and chasing after the magic tools. I could have done so if it was before the fight with the serpent.”
The fox’s ears drooped.
Was there any other way?
I was too busy chasing after the magic tool with both hands.
If I could fly.
But bears couldn’t fly.
There was a famous saying, “A pig that can’t fly is just a pig”.
A bear that couldn’t fly is really just a bear.
“Well, Kagali-san, can we take one more rider?”
“Another rider?”
