『Monster.』

Monsters drawn as human enemies in all tales from ancient and modern times。

Even in this world that has become like a game, their existence will probably not change much。

Because it was already written about。

A monster outbreak.

The living beings, so-called man-eating monsters are now being brought to the world naturally。

In fact, there were several instances of monster sightings on bulletin boards。

A small, monkey-like, pig-nosed monster with a green skin。

　Goblin.

A bipedal, dog-like monster with hugely developed canine teeth。

　Kobold.

A giant lizard。 A mighty reptile。

　Dragon.

These were introduced by being posted on the bulletin board with images, and for the one with the dragon, there was an image of a SDF (Self Defense Force) tank turned upside down。

However, goblins and kobolds also have a lot of subjugation information, and the images decorated with a large number of goblin heads are also making me a bit sick, but anyway, there are such monsters, I now had this information。

But maybe because I was in the upper floors of the school, I had never faced a monster til now。

Goblins and kobolds have weapons such as clubs, but it is said that each one is weaker than a corpse ogre because of their small size……

I see a monster in front of me, something I’ve seen for the first time myself。

（…… With black tentacles, an eyeball in the center。 If it stretches its limbs, it would probably reach tens of meters.）

To test it, I throw a nearby chair at the tentacle monster。

The tentacle monster caught the thrown chair without any sound and melted it easily。

（Acidic tentacles。 And quite strong。 There are 10 of them。 And they seem to have some sort of special skin, they do not make a sound when they move.）      {TL note: As a translator of science, I inform you that the tentacles could be basic, not just acidic. Basic solutions can sometimes melt materials easier than acids. It’s just that ‘basic’ sounds bad, and that Hollywood corrupts the fickle mind of children. Whichever alchemist came up with the word ‘basic’ reduced the scientific level of the entire population.}

The tentacle monster holds six arms like Senju Kannon。      {TL note: Arms forming a star shape    upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83%D1%8F_%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8_%D0%93%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%8C%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8C_%D0%B2_%D0%A7%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%88%D0%B5.jpg  }

The other four supported the monster’s body。

（…… This is, no matter how you see it, not a small fry right.）

The six tentacles’ shape change。

The arm-like thickness of the tentacles gradually reduce to that of a needle。

（That thinness…… Is that guy the culprit?）

There were 30 corpses in the audiovisual room。

There used to be small holes in Miyuki and Minami’s chests。

It must have been this monster that killed them。

Or perhaps the same species。

Why had it appeared now。

Where had it been til now。

At the very least, I’ve only just felt its presence。

I don’t know what the tentacle monster was doing for the past five days but the important thing is that these tentacles are aiming for us。

Without a sound, its 6 limbs move。

Each of their speed is about the same as that of corpse ogres。

However that’s while zigzagging, attacking from six directions。

「OooaAAAAAH！」

I activate the abilities of Red Horse and Blue Deer to their highest。

Red Horse becomes a huge sword of flames and Blue Deer is clad in ice。

I use the twin swords and brilliantly deflect the attacks from six directions。

I receive the tentacles coming from above with Red Horse, while also receiving the ones from the sides by extending Blue Deer’s ice。

However just stopping them is my limit。

（Uo~……！ Heavy！ Sword！ Tired！）   {TL note: Idk. (重! 堅! 厚!)}

After 10 seconds, the tentacle’s attack stop。

The tentacles must have been hurt with the ice and flames of my twin swords。

Smokes rises from 3 tentacles, the other 3 being frozen。

The desks in the classroom were all muddy from the acid-like liquid from the tentacles, except for the one behind me。

「It hurts~~~~！ My right leg~~~~!」

Tadokoro who had hidden behind me had not melted but was holding down something on his leg。

There could be acid sprayed there。

Perhaps because his ass is still bare, I have no sense of urgency to help。

「Fuh~…… Fuh~……」

I was breathing on my shoulder。

It had only been 10 seconds, but with the speed and tension, I feel more tired than ever。

Since you can’t hear them, it’s hard。

I have to rely entirely on my eyes to catch those tentacles。

「Senpai.」

Sei who was worried behind me tries to approach。

「…… That tentacle didn’t have acid.」

However my words stop Sei。

「Haa？」

「Then, by thrusting it into Tokoharu-san, I’ll have achieved a beautiful high-school girl tentacle play……」

Sei hits my head with all her might。

「What kind of stupid things are you saying！ Rather, look over there！」

Arao was standing where Sei was pointing。

The restraints on the desk must have melted。

Was Arao unhurt from the tentacles’ acid by accident, or did the tentacles leave her alone on purpose?

「GAAAaaah」

Arao comes to attack us。

「No, freeze.」

I freeze Arao with Blue Deer’s ice。

I don’t have the time to deal with Arao。

The tentacle monster cut off its damaged limbs and new tentacles spawned。

「Senpai……」

「Well, if you don’t like tentacle play, get down.」

Once again the tentacles attack。

This time 7 of them attack at once, one more than before。

（Fuck……！）

10 seconds later, the tentacles stop attacking。

I was able to handle it again。

「This time it’s my left leg！？」

Tadokoro shouts something, but I don’t care。

It’s his fault for exposing his ass。

By the way, Kawata and Taguchi were shaking, holdings their heads。

「Senpai…… Are you okay？」

「Ah, I’m fine, I’m fine.」

I’m not fine。

It was quite close when I defended against the seven tentacles’ waved attack。

I think I could still handle eight, but I doubt I can say the same with nine。

Moreover, I don’t have the stamina。

At this rate, I’ll be unable to defend and get done in by the tentacles。

I have to attack。

If the tentacle monster has a weakness, it must be the eye。

Talking about basics, there are no animals who do not get hurt after their eyes are attacked。

However, while the tentacles is healing, it cannot attack over here。

Behind me are Sei and the others。

If I go away to attack the tentacle monster, some tentacles may attack Sei and the others。

Now that it’s healing its damaged tentacles, although there are still some untouched。

If it anticipates my move while healing itself, and attacks Sei and company with its intact tentacles, I’m not confident to protect them。   {TL note: Who cares, what about self-responsibility?!}

This situation is quite bad。

Although if I didn’t have hindrances with me, I wouldn’t have struggled so much。

However, Shinji was starting to get excited about this situation little by little。

Sei and Kawata and friends’ life。

And having to only defend and being unable to deal damage, attacking the enemy。

It’s like a shooting game。

I have a limit on how much I can attack at a time。

That’s why it’s challenging。

（Speaking of which, Tadokoro isn’t attacking……）

Saying such, I didn’t intend to help the guy hiding behind but Tadokoro’s still alive。

Because for now, the tentacles’ attacks are concentrated toward us。

Tadokoro is hurt because of stray bullets, made of acid。

I don’t know why the tentacle monster doesn’t attack Tadokoro, but perhaps it’s because it doesn’t want to deal with someone with his bare ass on display。

（Well, leaving aside that bare ass guy, let’s aim to deal with 9 tentacles…… Huh.）

As expected, with one additional tentacle, it now attacks with 8 tentacles。

「Uaaaaaaaaaaaah！」

Again, the tentacles’ attacks stop。

 

Shinji had once more prevailed against the tentacle monster’s attack。

「S-Senpai……」

However Shinji was wounded all over。

His uniform was tattered here and there, and smoke was rising from those holes。

「M-My butt huuaaah…………」

There’s also smoke rising from Tadokoro’s ass, but that really doesn’t matter。

Sei:（…… What do。 At this rate senpai will……）

Sei knew that because Shinji was protecting them, he was struggling。

If it was Shinji alone, he could have attacked the main body while avoiding attacks。

While talking about self-responsibility, in the end Shinji protects Sei。

Hindrance。

Sei knew that if she moved dumbly, she would get in the way。

However she cannot just keep immobile。

She must do something。

Sei looked for something she could do。

In fact, Shinji is enjoying this situation, so she didn’t have to worry at all。

 

「…… Nine, huh.」

The monster begins to support itself with only one tentacle。

It’s a completely offensive posture。

（…… I’ve gotten a bit used to it。 Can I do it？）

I tap my thigh lightly with my Red Horse。

Good rhythm。

　♪Tontatton♪

The chopped sound enters my brain and blocks out unnecessary information。

My vision widens and what I need to see sharpens。

I enter a lonely world of concentration, where only I and information exist。

Three tentacles get in one spot, that’s 3 down。

I’m attacked simultaneously from 3 directions。

「Shi~！」

As if drawing a circle, the bundle of three tentacles is played around with my Red Horse。

However, just before Red Horse hits, 2 of the 3 tentacles separated themselves。

A time-differentiated attack。

I receive that with Blue Deer。

The fire and ice burn away and disappear。

Shinji’s movements to take upon the tentacle monster’s attacks become similar to a dance, the fire, ice and the black tentacles turn into a colored costume for his dance。

The tentacles and swords become instruments and the danger becomes spice on top。

The 10-second performance, betting on life and death; reached the finale with the dancer’s victory。

（……Now！）

The monster whose nine tentacles have been damaged by fire and ice is now unprotected。 The last tentacle is used to support its body。

Aiming at the empty eye, I attack it with Blue Deer and Red Horse。

Blue Deer is accelerated by the explosive flames and proceeds like a bullet in the monster’s eye。

（…… Seriously！）

There’s barely a sound of scraping metal。

Blue Deer was stopped by its eyelid。

「…… It did not blink once til now！」

If I fail here, it’s over。

While shouting insults, I grip Red Horse with one hand and face the monster。

However, too late。

My legs don’t move like I want them to。

My tiredness acted out now。

「Yaaaaaaaaaah！」

Overtaking me, Sei runs at the monster。

In her hand is a classroom chair。

「Hey, stupid, come back！」

Without hearing Shinji’s voice, Sei approaches the monster。

It must have felt a presence。

The monster, not yet healed, starts attacking Sei。

However its movement is quite slow。

And its eye is closed。

Its aim is quite off。

「You！」

Sei defends herself with the chair。

While healing its tentacles, there’s no acid。

Sei uses the chair skillfully and approaches the monster。

「Stooooop！」

I stopped Sei seriously。

It’s not like I want to protect her。

「Your joke is bad！」

Sei, who has passed through the tentacle onslaught, kicks the blue deer’s handle stopped by the eyelid。

「Pigiiiiiiiiiiiii~」

The monster that had been silent til now; raised its voice。

Its death cry。

The tentacle monster gradually freezes over, with Blue Deer digging inside its body。

Then it becomes completely frozen。

「Eh…… The sound of a drum！？」

Sei begins to look around, and a box labeled GODZON falls nearby。

「…… The last hit.」

I mutter。

The last hit of the first boss I encountered was stolen by an ally。

As a gamer, there was nothing more sad and frustrating than this。

{TL note: True. Almost as bad as the game or the OS crashing randomly.}
