Chapter 86
Thankful to the double standard .
“Hey, are we really going to do this?”
“Of course we are . ”
“Can you like, think about it again?”
“Nop . ”
Revealing her unease about the plan that I ca up with, Sara asked to consider the situation nurous tis .
Why did she start hesitating at this point after all that she said earlier?
We had to move as soon as possible since ru didn’t find us yet, so I just plainly refused Sara’s persistent request .
“You told that you were ready to do anything to defeat the golem, didn’t you?”
“B-But still, co on...”
Sara checked the posture she was taking as her lips were twitching from fear .
“I feel that I’m going to get thrown at any mont . ”
As for the posture she was taking .
She was sitting on the ground while I was grabbing her from the nap of her neck; it looked as if she was getting forcibly dragged by .
“That’s because I’m about to throw you . ”
“I know! Rather, why are you pushing all the hard work on ?!”
Sara complained after hearing my nonchalant reply .
My plan was to throw Sara at the chest of the normal golem so that she can destroy his core .
That was all . Simple is best .
“That’s because I believe that you can do it . ”
“No you’re not!!”
My attempt to cheer her up seed to have failed .
Well, she wasn’t wrong . This plan is putting too much weight on Sara .
But I choose her instead of because I was pretty sure that her hamr would reach the core with a single hit .
I was able to destroy his chest with my fist, so obviously, a hamr with much more power would cause larger damage .
That’s why I choose to throw her, then cover her back while she concentrates only on destroying it .
The right person for the right place . My plan was an epito of this proverb .
There was another reason behind my plan . It’s the fact that Sara can’t reach the core with her own speed .
It will be faster if I threw her instead .
Ignoring Sara’s loud complainings, I turned to see ru . the clouds of dust were starting to clear away .
“Where are you, Desu?”
After her vision beca clear, ru looked around the place restlessly .
It was our chance .
“Alright, I’m throwing you . Try to not ss up the plan . ”
“Eh? No, w-wait! I’m still ntally preparing...”
We didn’t have ti for ntal preparation . I ignored her trivial complaints once again and threw her to the distance .
“W-Waaaaiit!!!!”
Realizing that she had been cast in the air, Sara shouted with her loudest voice which ended up resounding in the entire hall .
Because of that, ru finally discovered our location .
“I found you, Desu . ”
Noticing the flying Sara, she ordered the golem to take a defensive stance .
“Too bad, I’m letting you do that . ”
The normal golem’s hands were smashed .
Now that his hands are gone, there was nothing left for him to protect the core .
The rest depends on Sara .
Sara suddenly stopped screaming midway seeming to have made her resolve and aid her hamr at the golem’s chest .
“Get crushed!!”
Along with a desperate shout, she swung down her hamr and succeeded in making a direct hit .
Boooooom!!
Due to the remarkable speed and the massive weight of the hamr, an enormous explosion occurred from the strike .
The ground trembled and dust covered the place along with an unsupportable explosion sound .
“Kya!!”
Apparently, even Sara wasn’t able to endure the shock and ended up blown away after letting out a short shriek .
This should be enough to destroy the core .
Doing my best to endure the shock of the explosion, I shifted my gaze back to the normal golem .
Shortly after the dust cleared off, the normal golem appeared again, still standing .
“Seriously......”
I widened my eyes when I saw him .
I was certain that he lost his balance from the explosion and fell on the ground, but it looks like he was still alive despite all that .
The rocks surrounding his core were already destroyed, but his condition was more than enough for him to resu the battle .
“W-Why is it still alive?!”
Sara as well, couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw him still standing .
It’s only natural for her to think that we’ve won after causing that overwhelming explosion .
I an, even I thought that we’ve won .
“That was close, Desu . ”
Verifying that the normal golem was still alive, ru let out a sigh of relief .
How could he still be able to stand after receiving that strike?
The mont I started pondering about it, ru gave the answer .
“I did well solidifying the rocks surrounding the core, Desu . ”
No wonder it was able to resist that enormous explosion .
Ah! Dammit .
“Looks like it didn’t work . ”
“Don’t give that!”
When I purposely tried to look disappointed, Sara began complaining at once again .
“What are you gonna do now!? Nothing is working against him!!”
“Well, calm down . For now...”
Now that my plan ended up as a failure, I walked and lifted a rock next to while calming down Sara .
The golem was still regenerating and his core was exposed, so I tried aiming the rock at it .
“Here . ”
Following that word, I threw the rock at the core . I wouldn’t have been able to make it in ti if I run, so throwing a rock was much faster .
The rock flew directly and hit the core .
For a mont, I thought that I did it, but soon after it appeared that the core was still unhard .
“The core is strong . Your weak attempts are futile, Desu . ”
I felt a bit irritated from the unexpected toughness of the core .
That’s quite unfair .
The golem finished regenerating and the core got buried back inside his chest . I contemplated the next plan and turned to ask Sara .
“Hey, can we do it once again?”
“No, I’m not doing it again! Besides... Ouch!”
<
Shifting her gaze to her ankle, Sara exclaid in pain . Looks like she twisted her ankle earlier because of that explosion . It was swollen and its skin turned purple .
It was clear that she was unable to continue fighting with that condition .
“A dead end, huh...”
As long as I still can’t use magic, it’s impossible for to heal her .
What should I do...
As I fell in thoughts, Sara’s frustration reached its peak resulting in her shouting .
“Why are you getting in my way!!”
“Because I was ordered by master to protect this place, Desu . ”
Hearing ru’s response, Sare spoke a truth that was better of not said .
“You were abandoned a long ti ago by tron-sama, so stop getting in the way!”
I froze in my place when she said that .
“Y-You idiot...”
Why is she making things even worse...
I hastily tried to improve the situation by telling to keep quiet, but...
“What does that an, Desu?”
ru was already in a rage .
The tone of her voice changed, but more importantly, the ambiance around her was different .
Failing to notice, Sara continued to add fuel to fire .
“I ca here under the order of tron-sama and he didn’t speak a single word about you! That’s because he forgot: he abandoned you!”
Feeling irritated because she couldn’t defeat her, Sara resorted to using the truth as her next weapon .
I held my head in my hands as Sara continued to shout .
No good . That’s it, we’re done .
ru remained hanging her head and silently listening to Sara .
“...Wrong . ”
Then she suddenly muttered .
“What is wrong?”
“You are wrong!”
With a tone that was totally different from the one she was using until now, ru yelled with a loud voice . Looks like she even forgot to add “Desu . ” at the end of her lines .
<
“Master is not like that . Stop saying things for your own convenience . ”
“I served tron-sama for much longer than you did! Stop trying to sound as if you know him well while you only spent a few weeks with him! You’re the one who’s saying things for her own conveniences!”
“Shut up, Desu! You’re the one who doesn’t know him, Desu!”
Their quarrel was about to reach the climax .
Both of them refused to admit defeat and so continued to dispute .
I avoided telling ru the truth because I feared that the situation would develop to this point .
I let out a deep sigh as I watched the both of them still furiously disputing .
Soon after, ru was the first one to snap .
“That’s it! I won’t forgive you, Desu!”
At that instant, sothing irregular happened to the normal golem .
His eyes abruptly glead and his entire body beca dyed in crimson red .
It was probably the color of the core that spread in it .
“I won’t forgive anyone who traduces Master, Desu!”
It was as if the golem was displaying ru’s anger . He took a pose to look as if he was roaring, then glared at us .
It’s not like I didn’t warn her .
The situation I was trying avoid from the beginning ended up occurring despite my consideration .
This Sara, always troubling with her careless acts .
I felt totally tired of having to deal with every situation she caused, but I still decided to take action first while being wary enough of the red normal golem .
I wanted to do sothing about it before he makes his first move .
I rushed to the golem in attempt to damage him, but...
“You are slow, Desu . ”
ru perceived my move before I was able to hit him .
Despite that, I continued rushing towards the golem before I halted my steps from having a faint premonition .
<
Baam!
The monts I stopped running, a red rock fell in front of .
It was the golem’s hand which he lifted back after missing by a few centiters . I felt a cold shiver running down my spine .
I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if I didn’t stop at the correct ti .
I had no idea that a golem could power up to such an astounding level . His speed was way too different .
“It is my turn, Desu!”
Judging that I would be a challenging target, ru shifted her gaze to Sara who instantly realized her trouble and moved her legs to escape . Unluckily, she couldn’t run properly due to her injured ankle .
“C’mon... Ouch!...”
“Dammit!”
I rapidly rushed towards Sara, but with my speed, the golem’s fist was about to reach her first .
This is bad! At this rate...
“You first, Desu . ”
“N-No...”
Realizing that she had no an to escape, Sara closed her eyes as if she gave up .
Dammit! I need to reach her first!
I continued to relentlessly reach out my hand towards her .
However, the distance between Sara and the golem’s fist was shrinking faster as if it was ridiculing my effort .
If his fist was to reach her with that speed...
I earnestly wished to reach her first .
Co on! Reach!
At that mont—— I felt a strange power flowing inside ; my wish has been granted .
“N-No way...”
I felt my heart getting gradually warr; a feeling of sothing familiar overflowing my body once again .
I was bewildered for a second from this abrupt feeling, But imdiately prioritized my current situation .
The golem’s fist rcilessly shrank its distance from Sara and crashed into the ground .
Baam!!
After a blasting noise, he slowly raised his fist back .
“What does this an!?”
ru who looked at the place he just crushed exclaid in astonishnt .
“She is not there, Desu . ”
She couldn’t find Sara’s body there and she knew well that the golem’s punch wasn’t powerful enough to make her disappear without leaving a trace .
Then what happened?
ru looked around the hall before she fixed her gaze on carrying Sara in my back .
“That was so close . ”
“H-How did you do that...”
I let out a sigh of relief .
Sara as well didn’t grasp what exactly happened after she closed her eyes and gave up .
Even I wasn’t expecting my abilities to co back at that exact timing .
It was perfectly tid . Perfect to an abnormal point .
“I used teleportation magic . ”
I said to Sara while bitterly smiling .
Sothing felt awfully made up with the timing, but thanks to it, we were saved . Even though she was an annoying angel, I wouldn’t want to see her dying .
“What did you do, Desu?”
ru who still didn’t notice that I can use magic again, asked in a confused tone .
Honestly, I was confused as well .
Why am I suddenly able to use magic inside the dungeon?
The mont I started thinking about it, a new accident occurred interrupting my thoughts .
“Kyaaaaaa!!”
This ti, I heard a familiar voice screaming from above .
I raised my head to check on the person who was behind the scream and widened my eyes .
Huh? Saya?

Bonus
Maybe I won’t have a turn to play anymore .
“Hey, Yato?”
“What is it, old man?”
“I feel that I’m not showing up in the story very frequently . Is it just my overthinking?”
“Of course it’s not . The last ti you got a turn was several chapters ago . ”
“I thought so!! I an, nobody would be happy to see an old man like getting a turn in the story anyway . ”
“Well, you’re being too pessimistic . You’ve got a turn . ”
“Really? When?”
“I don’t know . ”
“That’s not an answer! When?!”
