The Monster Lurking at the Cape
* * *
Zaan…… Zazaan.
The sound of waves can be heard from the cliff a few ters below.
My hair flutters in the sea breeze blowing from the ocean.
The weather is clear.
It’s really good weather.
Beyond the horizon, there are cumulonimbus clouds under the blue sky.
It’s a picturesque sumr scene.
However, there are no sounds of seabirds or insects around.
Why?
……They sensed it and fled.
The presence of the huge magical beast…… squirming in the sea right there!
It happened right after Extra-sama issued a warning.
Suddenly, a black shadow rose from the bottom of the sea to near the surface, and just as it seed to shimr its figure.
Zapaaaaaahn!!
With a trendous sound of waves, a water column erupted from the sea surface!
“Pyurururuuuu!”
And from within it, a giant monster appeared while letting out a strange, high-pitched cry!
It was a monster with a long body and beautiful scales.
The color of its scales, glittering in the sumr sunlight, was a deep blue.
But the black color mixed in here and there creates an irregular stripe pattern.
Extra-sama, who saw through the monster’s identity at a glance, reveals its na in surprise!
Great Sea Serpent!?
It has scales and a long body.
Indeed, this is certainly a serpent.
But its size is abnormal.
When I was young, I fought a giant white snake and ate it, but this one’s body length far exceeds that.
It’s extrely huge and long!
“Pyurururu……”
The Great Sea Serpent raises its sickle-shaped head and keeps its head above the sea, swaying back and forth, staring intently at .
It doesn’t seem to be imdiately pouncing on .
Am I being…… observed?
While pretending to be naturally relaxed, I prepared for the Great Sea Serpent’s attack.
The opponent is a creature of the sea.
If it escapes into the water, we will be at an overwhelming disadvantage.
Therefore, I wait for it to make a move.
I’ll kill it with a counter.
“Pyuru!”
The silent staring contest continues for several minutes.
Finally, perhaps tired of the standstill, the Great Sea Serpent slowly opened its large mouth and stretched its neck towards .
Yes, slowly.
……Is it looking down on ?
Certainly, from the perspective of this giant creature, I, who am suppressing and hiding my power, may only appear as a small insect.
However, this is unacceptable.
I can’t even sense hostility.
Ha.
Arrogance, huh.
……Alright.
Die.
I am currently standing at the tip of the cape.
The head of the Great Sea Serpent, which has foolishly opened its mouth wide, is still above the sea.
That distance is about 2 ters.
For an ordinary human, it’s a distance where nothing can be done without a foothold.
However, for .
……It’s within striking range!
“Raaaaaaah!!”
The next mont!
I instantly unraveled the 【Black Tentacles】 wrapped around my body and ford a giant 【Black Arm】!
And with that…… I punched the Great Sea Serpent’s face with all my might!
“Pyuruuuuu!?”
Due to the trendous impact, the Great Sea Serpent was blown away with its entire body and fell onto the sea surface!
Bashaaaahn!!
A huge splash of water rises!
“Tch.”
But I unintentionally clicked my tongue.
This last blow, I didn’t feel like it did much damage.
“Pyururururu!!”
Extra-sama’s guess seems to be correct, and the Great Sea Serpent is still full of energy.
A scream of astonishnt?
Or a voice of protest?
I don’t understand the aning, but anyway, while letting out a high-pitched cry, it raises its sickle-shaped head above the sea again.
“…………”
I quietly lower my hips and take a fighting stance.
It won’t go like this next ti.
I’ll kill it in one hit.
Kill, kill, kill.
I release my fierce fighting spirit that I usually keep locked away in the depths of my heart.
My head is filled with murderous intent!
Enormous magical power courses through my entire body, and so of it is released outside my body as a pitch-black haze……!
“Pyuru……!”
Seeing my appearance, the Great Sea Serpent let out a small cry and shuddered.
And it started swaying its huge body again……!
Zapan, Zapaan!
Every ti the Great Sea Serpent sways, waves are generated and crash against the cliff of the cape, making a loud sound.
Extra-sama and I beco more vigilant of the Great Sea Serpent’s unpredictable actions.
But, however.
Just as the Great Sea Serpent’s movents stopped abruptly!
Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind!
It’s not Extra-sama’s voice.
This is 【Telepathy】!
In this place right now, the only one who could be trying to convey words to .
It can only be the Great Sea Serpent in front of , facing off against .
Without letting my guard down, I glared into the Great Sea Serpent’s eyes.
The Great Sea Serpent is also staring intently at .
Its eyes are glittering, perhaps because they are wet with seawater and bathed in sunlight.
And, the Great Sea Serpent.
While continuing to stare at with sparkling eyes.
…… said this.
…… I think it can’t be helped that Extra-sama and I unintentionally let out a dumbfounded voice.
TL Note: It’s calling Emi 姉御 (Anego) which is an archaic japanese honorific for “elder sister”. I can’t think of a good way to translate this one so I am going to stick to my policy of preserving Japanese honorifics wherever it makes sense.
