“I-Is my opponent really you? I can certainly feel a lot of spiritual power, but… are you going to be okay?”
“It will be fine… I shall show you the power of an elf. Ahem!”
As for Reilia, she certainly looked younger compared to Rikka-chan.
Well, she was seventy years old, though!
“Then, should we place some constraints on Reilia for now?”
“Hehehe… it wouldn’t be interesting if I defeated her too easily! It is fine! Please apply whatever constraints you like!”
Reilia puffed out her chest with full confidence.
“Reilia can cast magic without chanting, so we must gag her mouth-nanodesu.”
“Master, there is a difference in physical ability, so I believe it would be best to restrain her arms as you did with me…”
Hina and Liz suggested gagging her and binding her arms.
“Eh? Both of them?…”
“Paisen… Reilia-chi is fast despite how she looks, so you should restrain her legs too!”
“Ah, if she can see, won’t it just end in an instant with chantless magic?”
Subsequently, Mikoto-chan suggested binding her legs, and Noa-san suggested a blindfold.
“Eh, eeh… that’s a bit much…”
“Alright, then let’s go with all of it!”
“Wait… that’s impossible… what is this? I won’t be able to do anything!”
“Shut up! You were the one who said ‘apply whatever constraints,’ didn’t you!”
“Nooooooo!”
I caught the fleeing Reilia and applied the constraints.
“R-Rikka… what exactly are we being shown?”
“I-I don’t know! Don’t ask me!”
After a while… Reilia appeared with her hands and feet in shackles, wearing a blindfold and a gag ball, wriggling and drooling on the floor.
“Hmm… this looks like a good state!”
“I-It’s not good at all! You’re telling me to fight THAT!?”
Where Rikka-chan pointed, a single caterpillar was writhing and puffing.
“Haa… haa… will I also have things like that done to me by my Lord… Gulp.”
“Well, it should be fine.”
“Do your best, Reilia-chi.”
“It’ll be an easy win, but if you lose, it’s punishment time.”
“Fumo, fugo, fugafuga…”
She moved her body violently, appearing to protest something, but I had no idea what it was.
“W-Wait a minute! Are you saying I would lose to that caterpillar no matter what!”
“Fugo-! Fugofugo, fumo-!”
Ah, was she protesting being called a caterpillar? I could somehow tell!
“That’s what she says… Well, then if you lose, Rikka-chan gets punished too.”
“Wha-!? Why should I have to do that!?”
“Well, since you say there’s no way you’d lose to a caterpillar, it’s fine. Or are you going to lose? Eh, is the prestigious Kamo family going to lose to Caterpillar Reilia?”
“Guh!”
“S-Stop it, Rikka! This is the Master’s trap!”
Ayame tried to stop her, but shortly after, Mikoto-chan placed a hand on Rikka-chan’s shoulder.
“Rikka-chi… it’s better if you stop. Reilia-chi is seriously strong. I don’t know if you’re a duck or a pigeon, but you won’t beat that caterpillar.”
Snap…
Ah, it seemed that ‘duck or pigeon’ comment just now struck Rikka-chan’s nerve.
Rikka-chan shook off Mikoto-chan’s hand and stepped forward.
“Fine! I’ll go ahead and do some caterpillar extermination!”
“Ah… Rikka… I told you not to… No, it’s still not too late! Just make it a normal fight!”
Ayame desperately tried to hold Rikka back.
“Well, it won’t just be punishment; I’ll give you a reward if you win.”
“I don’t want it! The reward and the punishment are both going to be something perverted anyway!”
Well, that would be fine too.
“Tada! The Karō Densetsu 7 Lottery! I shall present the Last One Prize, the Great Buddha-kun plushie!”
I pulled out a truly disgusting Great Buddha plushie. I had wondered who would want such a thing, but I had entered the lottery just in case.
“Whaaaaaat!?”
“Fumo-!? Fugofugo! Fugo-!!”
Surprisingly, both of them had a great reaction. Or rather, it was too good. Their eyes were completely like those of a lecherous old man; it was quite gross.
“Well, one of you will end up being punished… is that okay?”
“Fummo-!”
“Fine! I’ll do it!”
“Ah… Rikka…”
Ayame collapsed.
Heh, heh, heh… with this, it was decided that an erotic development would occur no matter how it turned out.
Mikoto-chan and Noa-san set up a magic barrier, and Ayame sat next to me.
Liz and Hina went upstairs first to prepare dinner.
“Now, then, the match between the completely restrained Caterpillar Reilia and the Kamo family Onmyōji, Kamo Rikka, begins! …Man, this is embarrassing. I can’t believe she could scream that loud.”
“By the way, Master… I think Rikka was being careless, but can she really fight in that state?”
“Well, she is surprisingly strong… I think it’ll probably be fine. Just watch.”
Rikka-chan and Caterpillar Reilia faced off in front of us.
“Alright, I’m starting. Rikka-chan, are you ready?”
“Yes… Are we really doing this with that thing? I really don’t care if she gets hurt.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. If it gets truly dangerous, I’ll step in to stop it, so you can go all out!”
“Haa… I understand.”
Saying that, she took a single talisman from her breast pocket.
“Is Reilia ready too?”
“Fumo!”
I didn’t quite understand, but she seemed somehow okay.
“Then, start!”
“Sorry, but I’m taking that Last One Prize. Flame!”
When she threw the talisman, it turned into fire. Unlike fire magic, there was almost no chanting, so the activation was fast.
“Fumo…”
However, even if she couldn’t see anything, if she sensed the activation of magic power, she could roughly tell the direction.
It was easily repelled by a magic barrier activated without chanting.
“No way… so easily… Flame! Flame! Flame!”
Three more talismans were thrown in succession.
“Fumoffu, fugah, fugo…”
Maintaining a magic barrier in that posture must have been difficult. She momentarily manifested barriers to block Rikka-chan’s techniques.
“Kuh! Technique: Wind Flower Circle!”
A magic circle expanded with Rikka-chan at the center.
“Fugo? Fumu, fumo.”
“I’m sorry… but I’m going to have you get hurt a little! Go!”
Blades of wind formed within the circle flew out one after another.
I wondered if she could afford to be that relaxed?
“Fumofumofumofumo…”
“Eh!?”
Just as I thought several balls of water had suddenly formed in the air, they caught the formed wind blades.
“Kyaa!?”
Then, the water balls were fired in various directions.
“M-Master… what was that just now?”
“It was just a Water Ball. Since she doesn’t know the direction, she probably just made a lot of them and fired them randomly.”
Some of the water masses hit Mikoto-chan’s magic barrier and vanished.
“Kuh! Flame! It’s not going out!? Water Circle Slash!”
Water blades were fired from a folding fan she had taken out at some point, intercepting the water balls.
The lumps of water fell with splashing sounds, but Rikka-chan’s magic circle had vanished, perhaps because her concentration was broken.
“Mogumogu.”
Reilia wriggled like an inchworm and faced Rikka-chan.
“Oh, did she figure out the direction?”
“Fumo-!”
Unlike Rikka-chan’s magic circle from before, wind blades that formed instantly attacked Rikka-chan one after another.
“Eh!? Wait! So fast! Even without a circle!? Kuh, Wind Circle Slash!”
She fought back with her folding fan and wind techniques, but the number of attacks was overwhelmingly different.
“Is she going with the strategy of overwhelming her with a large number of small spells?”
“Kyaa!”
She failed to intercept several wind blades, and Rikka-chan’s uniform was sliced open.
“Oh! Today’s underwear is white! And it’s a panda pattern on the bottom!”
“What kind of commentary are you doing!?”
Was it really okay to be making quips right now?
This time, about a dozen fireballs appeared in the air and headed toward Rikka-chan.
“No way!? Fire Dance!”
A pillar of fire that erupted from around Rikka-chan intercepted them.
“Fumo?”
“It seemed even Reilia doesn’t understand why she’s being stopped.”
“Well, Master… it’s because of that.”
The caterpillar looked around restlessly, observing the surroundings.
“A-As expected! You have a point! But an Onmyōji is not just about techniques! I’m sorry, but I’ll finish this! Shikigami! Onisama Shinten… Go!”
“Fugo? Fumomo… fugo?”
Reilia tilted her head, drooling from her gag ball while on all fours.
“Noa-san, Mikoto-chan… a big one is coming. Increase the strength of the magic barrier.”
“Got it!”
“Understood, Paisen!”
Since she had no idea what was coming, she must have decided to just mow everything down.
A windstorm that seemed to spread across the entire floor generated around Reilia.
“Kukeeee!”
“Kyaaaaa! K-Kuro!”
Countless blades of wind flying wildly enveloped the Shikigami and Rikka-chan.
Rikka-chan crouched and endured, having apparently unsummoned the Shikigami as she thought it was in danger.
“Fumofumofugo-”
“Ah, Reilia. She intends to push through just like this.”
“Noa-san, another one is coming!”
“Can she really fire that many without chanting!?”
“Ah, she’s sacrificing power. If it were the usual Windstorm, Rikka-chan would be mincemeat by now.”
“M-Mincemeat… That’s why I told her…”
Ayame was completely put off by Reilia’s magical barrage.
“Kuh! The Last One Prize is mine!”
“Fumo-”
Another windstorm was unleashed.
Rikka-chan stood up while desperately enduring the wind blades.
“Daaaaarn it!”
“Oh, she charged.”
Deciding that the wind was strong but the power wasn’t that great, Rikka-chan shielded her face with one hand, raised her folding fan, and charged at Reilia.
“Fugo!? Fugofugofugofugo-”
Noticing the approach, Reilia also charged like an inchworm.
“Impossible!? How can she move that fast in that outfit!?”
Ayame was astonished by the high-speed movements of Caterpillar Reilia.
“Gross!”
The two collided in the center of the floor.
Thud!
Reilia charged with incredibly gross movements, and Rikka-chan was sent flying through the air.
“Kyaaaaa!!”
“Well, that was bound to happen…”
Reilia was a magic-user… but it didn’t mean she was bad at body enhancement.
She normally used her staff to whack monsters that got close, after all.
“Fumo? Fumomomo?”
Having stopped moving, Reilia drooled and looked around restlessly.
“Ah, I guess she can’t go on anymore.”
Rikka-chan clutched her stomach, unable to move.
“Winner, Reilia!”
“Fumo-!!!”
And then the caterpillar let out a victory roar.
