The Laid-back Life In Another World Of The Ex-Hero Candidate Who Turned Out To Be A Cheat From Level 2

Pack (01/02)

NT: Sorry for the delay. I was a little busy last week dealing with some issues, but I already solved everything (for now). Now… this time I had some extra time, so I could finish two chapters… the one of the this and last week, so we can act as if nothing had happened, isn"t it great? Hahaha, and… well… that.

The Blond Hero almost fell into his own trap when he tried to jump from the narrow portion of the ground that remained firm to the edge of the hole.

However, at that moment, his magic bag disengaged and fell into the hole.

Although the Blond Hero immediately tried to grab it, he did not reach it in time, falling to the bottom of the hole, just in front of the Woman"s eyes that had been impaled by the various spears that were at the bottom.

「…I-I can feel… The Evil Magic Power coming from here…」

The Wicked Woman put her hand inside the Magic Bag, from which she took out the Evil Magic Stones.

Seeing that, the Wicked Woman smiled fearlessly.

「… Blond… So it was you who stole them…」

The Woman said as she put the Magic Stone in her mouth and then swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, the Wicked Woman"s body began to emit a purple light throughout her body.

「…Umu, Tsuya, Ririanju」

said the Blond Hero, who was staring at the Evil Woman, who seemed to be experiencing some kind of change inside the hole.

「Run」

Then, immediately after saying that, he started running as fast as he could, escaping from the place.

「Eh?… Eeeeh!?」

「Wait!? Blo-Blond Hero-sama~a!!!」

Tsuya and Ririanju, who were surprised by his sudden actions, quickly stood up as they started running after him.

「You can"t escape~」

said the Wicked Woman, who had turned into a giant mantis, as she threw her arms in the shape of huge sickles towards those two.

「Nu~!」

「H-Hiii!」

The two of them managed to evade her attack at the last moment.

「I"m not done yet」

The Wicked Woman said while, from the top of her body, another 4 pairs of arms arose, finally ending with 10 arms in total.

Then, with that form, she began to get closer and closer to Tsuya and Ririanju while violently waving his arms.

「We-We have to escape!」

「No~ !! It"s impossible~~!!」

The two of them shouted as they ran.

The Giant Mantis ignored their discussion while chasing them enraged.

Each of the trees next to which the Giant Mantis pa.s.sed fell to pieces or even uprooted from its roots after being whipped by the sickles she violently waved from side to side.

All that remained after the pa.s.sage of the Giant Mantis was a shattered terrain.

「… Something seems to be making a fuss in the forest…」

Lys said as she turned her anxious gaze towards the window to observe the forest.

A constant wave of magical power could be felt coming from the forest accompanying the rumble that could be heard every so often.

Lys couldn"t help looking away involuntarily because of the overwhelming force of whatever was causing the scandal.

Garyl and Elizabeth, who were sleeping peacefully until then, began to cry after being awakened by the sudden scandal.

「There~e, everything is fine, so don"t cry」

Lys said as she hugged them gently.

… It"s useless. I"m too worried about Dannsama…

Lys pressed her worried face against Garyl and Elizabeth"s cheeks.

「It"s okay. Dannsama will soon stop that noise」

Lys said with a smile on her face.

Tsuya and Ririanju, who fled desperately from the Giant Mantis, finally left the forest, reaching a vast meadow.

「This-… This is bad」

Ririanju said as she paled.

Until now, they had only been able to evade the attacks of the Giant Mantis thanks to the trees getting in the middle while running through the forest. However, now that they was in the meadow, there was nothing left that could obstruct the Giant Mantis.

Then, as they had supposed, the Mantis was able to move freely when she left the forest, becoming able to approach them in the blink of an eye.

「So is. You"re going to die」

The Giant Mantis said as she threw her 10 arms toward the those two, who could no longer escape of her range.

… huh?

The Wicked Woman, who had become a Giant Mantis, doubted what she saw in front of her eyes.

「… Fu~u. I must say that I was surprised when I saw the amount of sickles that oscillated」

Furio told to the Giant Mantis while wiping the sweat that had arisen on his forehead in relief.

Around him were several huge shields floating in the air, which had been summoned through defensive magic to protect him from the ten sickles that the Giant Mantis had swung forward.

「Who are you? Don"t think I won"t hurt you if you get in my way 」

said the Giant Mantis while swinging his sickles flaunting them.

However, Furio just let out a sigh when he heard her.

「It would be problematic to let you continue since you"ve been making too much of a noise」

Furio said with his arms folded as he watched directly at the Giant Mantis.

「You ended up making my children cry with all the scandal you"ve been causing.

So, would you mind stopping that?」

Furio said, frowning.

In response to that, the Gigantic Mantis stopped her sickles.

「… Is that so? I don"t like to make a lot of scandal either」

She said while raising her sickles high.

「But don"t worry, you won"t have to hear it again, since you will die here }」

Just to make them descend once more against Furio.

This time, the Giant Mantis directed each of its sickles towards Furio.

However, these were completely blocked by the shields summoned by Furio, on the other hand, every time their sickles. .h.i.t one of the shields, a rumble could be heard, at the same time that the crying of a baby was heard from the direction of the House of Furio.

Hearing that, Furio frowned even more.

The Wicked Woman, who had become a Giant Mantis, began to feel bewildered as she threw her sickles against Furio.

… Wh-What"s up with this man… ? He has been blocking each of my attacks even though I regains all my powers thanks to the Evil Magic Stone…

The Giant Mantis, who seemed to be starting to get impatient, began to increase the speed of her attacks.

However, due to the increased speed of her attacks against Furio, she also increased the number of times the sound of her impacts resonated.

And, in response to that, the crying of the baby that could be heard from the House of Furio began to grow stronger.

「… I told you that I wanted you to stop doing that, didn"t I?」

Furio said, with a voice clearly different from the previous one.

… What?

The Giant Mantis, who felt a strange change in the atmosphere accompanying the change in Furio"s att.i.tude, stopped her attacks.

On the other hand, Furio began to approach the Giant Mantis.

「I tried to do this peacefully, but you still ignored me and acted violently … Do you think I will forgive you for that?」

Furio said, while raising his right arm.

Then, a gigantic iron ball appeared above the Giant Mantis.

The iron ball covered with spikes descended over the Giant Mantis, crushing her, at the moment that Furio lowered his arm,

… Guh~… Wh-What?… How?

The Giant Mantis, in an attempt to protect herself from the iron ball, tried to deploy a barrier around her, however, it was instantly destroyed at the moment when the iron ball hit it, causing the Giant Mantis to take the hit. directly.

Then, when Furio lifted the iron ball, the Giant Mantis, in a desperate act, tried to deploy a barrier around her again, however, this one, and the many others she tried to deploy, were instantly destroyed every time Furio did lower the iron ball over it.

「Ha~a, I"m really sorry」

said the Wicked Woman, with a smile on her face, who, after returning to her human form, knelt humiliatingly against the floor in front of Furio while trying to control her body, which kept shaking.

The Wicked Woman was. .h.i.t by the iron ball until she lost consciousness.

Furio was finally able to calm down after that.

Then, when he saw what he had done, he murmured.

「… May I have exaggerated a little?」

While smiling to himself with irony.

After that, he used Recovery Magic on the woman to heal her wounds, after which he began to apologize to her for exaggerating her actions, however, the Wicked Woman, who was too afraid of him to hear what he said, just knelt while apologizing countless times.

「Sorry. It was my mistake. I will not do. Please forgive me」

Then, when she was finally finish that, she ran to the forest with tears in her eyes.

While watching that, Furio muttered, 「… I ruined it. I may overreact when it comes to Lys and the children, yes, it may be…」while tilting his head with a self-critical look on his face.
