Chapter 471

Bear-san, Learns Kagali-san’s secret

“I was wondering if you were hurt when you jumped into those flames! Any burns?” (kagali)

Kagali-san touched my face with concern. Then her large breasts dangled in front of me.

“These clothes are made of a special fabric that will protect me even from that inferno, so don’t worry.” (Yuna)

“Even with that much flame? What kind of fabric is that?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san is now touching my body. Each time she does, two large pieces of fruit are swaying in front of me.

“I was surprised when you jumped into Orochi’s flames.” (Kagali)

I’ve made her worry.

“But I didn’t think you’d defeat it. Now there are only three left. So, let me ask you, is there any way to defeat the Wind Orochi?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san looks at the Wind Orochi head.

The Wind Orochi head has stopped moving, perhaps because it lost sight of Kagali-san or sensed that somebody had defeated its fire elemental head.

The problem was the raging gales around its neck that continued to rage like a miniature storm. That wind caused the vegetation and trees set aflame by the Fire Orochi head to burn even more.

I wondered if the building where Ruimin and Sakura were had caught fire, but if it had, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear should’ve evacuated them.

“I can’t do it unless I get close to it, so I don’t think I can defeat it because of the wind clinging to Orochi’s head.” (Yuna)

The bear gear was mainly for defense, but it does not mean that it’s not impervious to attack. Just not transmitting the impact directly to my body, the bearsuit doesn’t disperse the impact force. I would still be blown away if the bear gear received a hit.

“I wish there was a way to stop the wind……” (Yuna)

Looking at how Kagali-san attacked, a half-hearted attack would only be repelled by the wind.

It’s a question of what would happen if I shot big magic. I hope I could set it on fire, and it would fall burning. If it turns into a fire tornado or something, that would be bad. It would be nice if I could defeat it with that, but if that’s possible, they should have done it before.

“I see. Then how about the Earth Orochi head or the Water Orochi head?” (Kagali)

I imagine engaging the Earth Orochi head was just hard. I think it would be possible to defeat it in the same way how I defeated the Fire Orochi head, and I also think it would be possible to destroy the Earth Orochi head from its insides. Electric-type magic seemed to be effective against the Water Orochi head, or maybe we can just roast the Earth Orochi head with bear fire. Unlike the Fire Orochi head and the Wind Orochi heads, I have a method to defeat them.

“…I think I’m okay with those two.” (Yuna)

“Fufu, if you say you can defeat those Orochi heads, I can’t help but laugh.” (Kagali)

“I’m not kidding, though.” (Yuna)

I said to Kagali-san, who was still laughing.

“I can tell by looking at your battle with Fire Orochi head. If you say you can defeat them, then I’ll believe it. And if you say you have no way to defeat the Wind Orochi head, I will defeat it instead. So, may I leave the rest to you? Although, I may not be able to continue to fight any longer after defeating it.” (Kagali)

Does that mean she will show off the secret technique she mentioned at the beginning?

I would like to see it.

Great magic? A transformation? I hope it was a transformation into a fox.

It may be a different kind of mofumofu from Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“I would be useless as a fighting force. I cannot be used as a decoy, nor can I attract the enemy after this. You must assume that I’m not here.” (Kagali)

“What do you mean not here? Does that mean you’re going to die? Is that it?” (Yuna)

If she’s going to die, I can’t let her do it.

We may not have a way to beat it yet, but we might be able to do something about it.

I don’t like stories of self-sacrifice. Of course, they can be moving and make me cry. But I just don’t want those characters to die. Even if it’s a story with no redemption. I still prefer happy endings.

“Fufu. I’ll be fine. I will not die. It’s just that I’ll be powerless to move for a while, so if the other Orochi heads go on a rampage, I might die.” (Kagali)

“You’re not going to die, right?” (Yuna)

“I promise you. I will not die.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san looked me in the eye and said it clearly.

“If you defeat the other Orochi heads, then I will not die.” (Kagali)

“I understand. Then, after Kagali-san defeats the Wind Orochi head, I will defeat the remaining two.” (Yuna)

“I’ll bet everything on you, then. If you can’t beat them, rest assured that I will follow you after I recover.” (Kagali)

Doesn’t that mean I’ll die first?

If it’s impossible, I’ll run away, you know?

Regardless of my thoughts, Kagali-san began to gather strength into her body.

“Stand back a little and don’t come near me.” (Kagali)

Something swelled around Kagali-san’s buttocks, something twitched, and a new tail came out from under her clothes.

Oh, she powers up whenever the number of tails increases!?

The number of tails increasing was not one or two.

“Bear Missy. If possible, I’m hoping you’re not afraid of me when you see me like this.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san loosened her belt, took off her clothes, and threw them at me.

Kagali-san’s body glowed gold, and her body transformed.

Her face became pointy, her arms and legs became animal feet, and golden fur covered her body.

“……Fox.” (Yuna)

The Nine-Tailed Fox.

Just as I thought.

Nine-tailed, golden fox. Such a beautiful body.

Kagali-san’s body turned into a giant fox.

Her size was larger than Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Her current size is as big as one of Orochi’s heads.

Ah, so her ultimate secret technique was transforming into a fox.

It’s a little impressive.

After Kagali-san turned into a great fox, she flew up into the sky as if running mid-air.

When the Wind Orochi head found the great fox Kagari-san, it shot a wind blade. The great fox, Kagali-san, changed the direction she was running in the sky and dodged.

……She’s flying in the sky.

I was surprised that she became a great fox, but I was even more surprised that she started flying in the sky.

She can fly…

The great fox Kagali-san flew around the Wind Orochi head, observing it while dodging its attacks.

She spat out a ball of flame from her mouth. The flames bursted when they hit Wind Orochi’s wind attacks.

I knew that gale attacks was nasty.

The great fox Kagali-san was still circling Wind Orochi head.

If I could fly too, it would make the battle easier. But it would be too surreal to see someone flying in a bear suit.

The great fox, Kagali-san, kept spitting flames and gradually moved closer to Wind Orochi head.

The Wind Orochi head opened its large maw and extended its neck to attempt to bite the great fox, Kagali-san, but she escaped. Then, as if timing it, she mauled the head of the giant wind-type snake.

The Wind Orochi head shook tried to shake her off. But Kagali-san, who has transformed into a great fox, won’t budge.

She mauled even deeper.

The raging wind that surrounded the Wind Orochi head injures the great fox Kagali-san.

The great fox Kagali-san raised her claws and slashed them at the Wind Orochi head.

She bit off more than she could chew at the end.

The great fox flew through the sky and attacked further. She bit it more than once. The Wind Orochi head tried to regenerate its damaged flesh, but the great fox Kagali-san’s continuous attacks were faster and stronger.

So strong.

I thought that with Kagali-san, her current transformed form would be enough to beat all the other Orochi heads, but then I remembered what Kagali-san said. Maybe there’s a time limit.

Whenever the great fox Kagali-san bit, flames came out of her mouth. It overlapped with the wind blades spewed by Wind Orochi head, combining together to combust, damaging the body of the great fox Kagali-san.

But the great fox didn’t care, as she spit even more flames from her mouth.

She spat out flames into the wounded parts of Wind Orochi head.

The wind-type snake head looked like it was suffering, shaking its head repeatedly, trying to shake off the great fox Kagali-san.

But the great fox Kagali-san, bit firmly on the snake and did not let go.

“Gru~u ~u~u~u~” (Kagali)

The great fox Kagali-san kept biting while growling.

In addition, she plunged a paw inside the partially chewed-off part of Wind Orochi head. Then, when the great fox Kagali-san pulled out the paw, a large green magic stone popped out.

At the same time, the raging wind that cloaked the Wind Orochi head disappeared.

Then, the great fox Kagali-san ensured that it did not regenerate; she began spitting more and more flames on the mauled area.

The magic stone-less Wind Orochi head thrashed rampaged, and with its last ounce of strength, it tried to shake off the great fox Kagali-san, but the great fox Kagali-san flew off through the air.

The Wind Orochi head, which had lost its magic stone and badly burnt, collapsed with a sound like a toy whose battery had run out.

Kagali-sama had defeated the Wind Orochi head.

I head for the carcass’ magic stone before it could regenerate as I did with the Fire Orochi head. I put it in the bear box so that I won’t end up just like some ○○○ main character from somewhere.

Kagali-san came up next to me in her great fox form when I retrieved the magic stone.

Her face and body were injured.

“Kagali-san, are you okay!?” (Yuna)

“I’m okay.” (Kagali)

I don’t know how badly she’s hurt because she’s in fox form, but she looks ok.

“Kagali-san, you can change into a fox.” (Yuna)

I want to touch her tails. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear have cute round tails, but the great fox Kagali-san’s tails were long and different from Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s tails.

But for now, I’ll be patient because that’s not important right now.

“That’s right, I can. But fighting in this form drains a lot of magic power. I am sorry, but I have no more magic power.” (Kagali)

As Kagali-san said so, the great fox began to shrink until her size was similar to a little vixen, and then she morphed into a shape of a girl about six years old.

Her nine tails have been reduced to only one small tail.

Her other tails had disappeared.

Kagali-san’s face, now in a child form, was bleeding.

I touched it lightly and healed the wound. Then I took out a handkerchief and wiped off the blood. Her face was now clean of blood.

“Thank you.” (Kagali)

Apparently, she’s unaware of my healing magic.

“And I’m sorry, but can I have my clothes back?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san, now in human form, was buck naked. I gave her back her clothes and began to put them on her.

Kagali-san was dressed, but it was too loose and not the right size.

Well, when a woman with a pair of such large dangling fruits turns into a child, it’s only natural that her clothes won’t fit.

“Will you ever go back to normal?” (Yuna)

“Give me some time and I will be back to normal. But without magic, I can’t fight.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san(chan) looked apologetic.

Certainly, she can’t fight in her current appearance.

Looking at her, it felt more appropriate to address her as “Kagali-chan” instead of “Kagali-san”.

Perhaps that chest of hers represented her magical power capacity.

In other words, the more her magic power increases, the bigger it gets.

“Where have you been looking at for quite a while now?” (Kagali)

“No, it’s nothing.” (Yuna)

I looked away from Kagali-san.

“Anyway, I cannot fight in this condition. I’ll leave the rest to you.” (Kagali)

“Leave the Earth, and Wind Orochi heads to me to deal with.” (Yuna)

It’s not an opponent that we cannot beat based on an image.

Even so, this was a weird outcome. She was a beautiful woman with big breasts not so long ago, but now she’s a pretty little girl. She looks cute even when she’s small, isn’t she?

I casually put my hand on top of Kagali-san’s head.

“Why are you putting your hand on my head?” (Kagali)

“Somehow?” (Yuna)

“I may look like this, but I’m older than you.” (Kagali)

Yeah, I know, but looks are more important to me.

Such a line. I don’t know how many times I’ve said it to myself.

“Now then, I’ll take down the rest of Orochi’s heads. Please find somewhere safe for now, Kagali-san.” (Yuna)

“I’m counting on you. In my current appearance, I will just be a liability to you. I can’t even run like this. I’m going to Mumroot’s side.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san then pulled up her baggy clothes and headed towards the building where Mumroot-san was, looking like she was having difficulty walking.

I head for the nearest building, the one that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear defended.

Kagali-san has transformed into a fox.

And then she became a little girl. w
