The LV.99 Middle Boss, Starts His Second Life with Subordinates!

Operation “Narugoa”.

 

　The plan was to use the Alraune’s magic flowers, planted in a regular pattern, to create a huge magic circle the size of the village.

 

　In addition, the people of the Cave of Silence are used as catalysts, and the missing magic power is taken from the ground by the magic flowers.

 

　And—[Summon].

 

　What he summoned was the Cave of Silence, or the dungeon itself.

 

 

“It looks like we’ve managed to divide them up.”

 

 

　I looked at the dozens of far-seeing mirrors installed among the Mid-Boss room.

 

　The mirrors are monitoring the situation at each level.

 

 

　In the first level, where Poison Slime is in charge, the first Battle Maiden Commander Nils.

 

　In the second level where Alraune is in charge, the third Battle Maiden Commander Noah and the brave Bernhard.

 

　And on the third level, where Kyu-chan is in charge, you’ll find Kurana, the second Battle Maiden Commander.

 

　In addition to this, there is about 150 Valkyrie at each level.

 

 

　It’s exactly as calculated.

 

 

“The scary thing about Valkyries is that they have the leadership skills of social insects, but on the flip side, their movements are easy to read.”

 

 

　In fact, I knew exactly how they were going to surround the village.

 

　That’s why it was easy to determine the coordinates.

 

　I was grateful for the Valkyrie’s high level of leadership.

 

 

　Now the set-up is ready.

 

 

 

“One hour, one hour only! Neutralize all Valkyries and stop the Hero Bernhard!”

 

 

 

 

 

“– Let’s do this, Fairies! Please stick to the plan!” (Alraune)

 

“Al-sama! Let’s go! Everyone!” (Fairy)

 

“Our Mid-boss is back!” (Fairy)

 

“We have to show him our good points!” (Fairy)

 

 

　With Alraune’s command, the fairies flying around the floor are covered in magical light.

 

　And they chanted magic all at once with the untamed movements of the self-centered fairies.

 

　Immediately after, the Hero Bernhard is trapped in a pyramid of light.

 

 

“This is……”

 

“Employer (Master)…!?” (Noah)

 

 

　Commander Noah raises a startled shout.

 

　This is because from chanting to the deployment of the barrier, everything was too early.

 

 

　Bernhard touches the wall of the pyramid that surrounds him.

 

　He initially tried to destroy it with the Holy Sword—but stopped and sat down.

 

 

“… I could’ve done something from the inside of such tight barrier, but I can’t even swing my sword to hit it… They’ve prepared it well in advance.” (Bernhard)

 

“Of course, there is no dungeon that welcomes adventurers without taking any measures.” (Alraune)

 

“Employer! I’ll help you now!” (Noah)

 

 

　Noah, the commander of the 3rd Battle Maiden Army, readies her large spear.

 

　However,

 

 

“Boom!”

 

 

　Some sticky object struck Noah’s face, interrupting her.

 

 

“Yeah! Take that!” (Fairy)

 

“Next, target!” (Fairy)

 

“This fairy…! And I can’t take it off…!? What is this…!?” (Noah)

 

 

　Noah desperately tries to peel off the sticky putty on her face, but it clings to Noah’s eyes, nose and mouth, and even her hands, and it becomes more and more tricky.

“No-Noah-sama!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Are you okay!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Bababa Bobbebibebu!!!” (Noah)

 

 

　No matter how they look at it, she’s not okay.

 

　That should be it, the putty thrown by the fairies was made of things raised in the second layer, Chillea fruit, Doaro grass, Karakazura root, Gaza sap, etc.

 

　It is a special birdlime bomb that mixes these plant pieces and covering them in plant seeds.

 

 

“Damn! Revenge for Noah-sama!” (Valkyries)

 

 

　Noah is still struggling to pull the birdlime off her face, but she is already in a harsh battle.

 

　One of the Valkyrie pointed her spear at the fairies flying in the air.

 

　She tried to focus her divinity and shoot a ray from the tip of the spear.

 

　――But that doesn’t happen.

 

 

“The amount of divinity is… not enough!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Stupid! You can’t use such a powerful technique in a place where the sunlight can’t reach…!” (Valkyrie)

 

“Then, how do you attack the flying fairies!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“We could also fly… The amount of divinity is still not enough!?” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　The fairies rush and hit the Valkyries faces with birdlime bombs.

 

　They are like children enjoying a snowball fight.

 

　Of course, the Valkyries who were hit in the face with these things were in for a rough time.

 

 

“Gabobobebobobobe !?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Obobobobobobo !?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Gu … mo …!” (Valkyrie)

 

“Aha, it’s quite fun!” (Fairy)

 

“Hit them some more and more!” (Fairy)

 

“Come on, Fairies! Keep throwing!” (Alraune)

 

 

　The attacks from the fairies are endless.

 

　It’s just a hellish picture with lots of muffled screams.

 

　However, it is not just the Valkyries who are being one-sidedly attacked.

 

 

“–Buh! Yaaa, these winged bugs, you’ve done it!” (Noah)

 

 

　Surprisingly, Noah succeeded in pulling the birdlime off her face.

 

 

“You dumbasses! Is your shield a decoration!? Protect your face! Your face!” (Noah)

“Oh, that’s right!” (Valkyrie)

 

“OK, Noah-sama!” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　The Valkyries, who were completely panicking, regained their composure with Noah’s command.

 

　The flying birdlime bombs are blocked one after another by their shields.

 

 

“Shit…! This damn fairy brat! Defeat them immediately and break the barrier…!” (Noah)

 

 

　Noah held up her spear in anger.

 

　But…

 

 

“Uh…!?” (Noah)

 

 

　Suddenly Noah’s complexion changed.

 

　No, it’s not just Noah though.

 

　All the Valkyries who were exposed to the birdlime bomb began making a ruckus.

 

 

“What …? My face… my hands… So itchy…!?” (Noah)

 

“That? Everything. It’s itching…!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“-I’m sure! Itching! Everything is itching fiercely!” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　Again, a hellish scene of screaming and shouting.

 

　The Valkyries are suddenly struck by an unbearable itch, and writhe in agony as they scratch their entire bodies.

 

　In this situation, they can no longer fight.

 

 

　Looking down at them, Alraune grinned.

 

 

“—Oh, Valkyrie? It looks like it’s really painful, but what’s the matter? Did you get a rash on you or something?” (Alraune)

 

“Well, what’s the sticky thing from before…!?” (Noah)

 

 

　—That’s right.

 

 

　Gaza sap was within the birdlime bomb.

 

　When it adheres to the skin, it causes a kind of allergic reaction—in short, a rash.

 

　Once this happens, even a big man will be struck by intense itching. They would be crying.

 

　There is no exception, even for a Valkyrie at Level 60.

 

 

“Well, itchy, itchy, itchy! Gaaa!” (Valkyrie)

 

“Even if you keep scratching at  it…! Ah ah ah ah!!” (Valkyrie)

 

“I can’t stand it anymore!!” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　Then, some of Valkyrie couldn’t stand the itch and finally took “it” out of their pockets.

 

　It is a shiny indigo crystal.

 

　Alraune grinningly distorts his mouth.

 

 

“–It came out, [Sky Drops].” (Alraune)

 

 

　Sky drops.

 

　It is a magic item to help Valkyries return to heaven.

 

　The fact that they took it out means…

 

 

“Well, wait !? You guys aren’t…!” (Noah)

 

“–I will leave early due to poor physical condition!” (Valkyrie)

 

“I wonder if there is an anti-itch cream in my house…!?” (Valkyrie)

 

“Isn’t the Heavenly Hospital closed today– !?” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　When the [Sky Drops] shone for a moment, several Valkyries who clasped them disappeared in an instant.

 

　They returned to heaven—that is, they left the front line.

 

 

“Ahhhhh…!? They really did it! How terrible, and in front of the client…!” (Noah)

 

“Why don’t you go home too?” (Alraune)

 

“Guh…!? That’s the action of a weak monster in the lower world! We are a proud Valkyrie unit! An itch like this is…!” (Noah)

 

 

　Noah bites through the itch and stands up.

 

　At that time, something like a small spider’s thread touched her knee, another trap.

 

 

“What?”

 

 

　Bam! There was a noise and yellow powder poured down from above the Valkyrie.

 

　The thread was tied to a branch of a plant on the ceiling of the cave.

 

　The fine powder poured from the plants invades the nostrils and oral cavity of the Valkyrie, adheres to her mucous membranes, and—

 

 

“–Haaaachooo!!” (Noah)

 

“*Cough*!! *Cough*!!” (Valkyrie)

 

“My eyes are itching!?” (Valkyrie)

 

 

　Then a third scream.

 

　The Valkyries all complain of itchy eyes, sneezing, and running nose.

 

　However, it made the situation worse.

 

　Because a myriad of threads was tied to the branches of the plant.

 

 

　It’s—a branch of the Shaza tree.

 

　It is a type of conifer that grows densely in a dungeon in a certain forest and is known for spreading a large amount of pollen.

 

　After all, the true nature of the sickness that attacks the Valkyries is hay fever, as most people call it.

 

 

“Valkyrie-san, you’re sneezing a lot!” (Fairy)

 

“Fun!” (Fairy)

 

“Thanks to the spider lady!” (Fairy)

 

“–That’s right! I’m doing a pretty good job!” (Arachne)

 

 

　Half-human and half-spider, she said with a carefree smile.

 

　Help that she was called by Narugoa.

 

　Bewildering Forest Employee–Arachne.

 

 

“I’m grateful to Narugoa-san! I’ll work hard!” (Arachne)

 

“… What kind of relationship do you have with Narugoa?” (Alraune)

 

 

　While the Valkyries symphony of sneezes and messed up faces, Alraune asks Arachne, who is the size of her palm.

 

　Then Arachne was very confident and proud to answer.

 

 

“What kind of relationship do we have… Well, I can’t explain it, but he hit on me!” (Arachne)

 

“Huh!? What!?” (Alraune)

 

“–He said I was so attractive that he could take me as his wife!” (Arachne)

 

 

　It’s quite different from the truth.

 

　But this was more than enough to rattle Alraune.

 

 

“Well, I know Narugoa better than you do!” (Alraune)

 

 

　Alraune sends magical power to the ground to promote the growth of plants.

 

　They were also a number of flowers that scattered allergens everywhere.

 

 

“I won’t lose! I don’t feel like I’ll be losing if I push hard!” (Arachne)

 

 

　Arachne also burns with rivalry towards Alraune and shoots a birdlime bomb with an instant slingshot made from her spider web.

 

 

　The Valkyries can no longer even stand.

 

　Rubbing their eyes, sneezing, scratching their body.

 

　They’ve been immobilized outside of these three actions.

 

 

“I can’t do it anymore…! My nose is stuffy…” (Valkyrie)

 

“If I keep scratching like this, my skin will be damaged!” (Valkyrie)

 

“Noah-senpai we will go back up! Thank you for your hard work!” (Valkyrie)

 

“Well, wait, you guys…” (Noah)

 

 

　Noah’s words are in vain, and crystals glitter in the hands of the Valkyries one after another.

 

　A strategic withdrawal.

 

　Dozens of Valkyries fled back to heaven.

 

　But for these two, it doesn’t matter.

 

 

“I got a matching bell from that person!” (Alraune)

 

“Even I exchanged contacts (for work)!” (Arachne)

 

 

 

　While Noah, whose face was soaked with the bodily fluids flowing out of her orifices, flailing all-over, these two were in a battle on their own.
