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

“—Now, this is the crucial moment! Everyone! Never stop the march!”

　The monsters in the line responded to my call with a particularly fierce performance and dance.

　At this point, the frenzy of the odd group gained even more momentum.

　A blizzard of cherry blossoms was whipping through the air.

　An arch of ice created by Yukime decorated the path we were on.

　The countless Raccoon Fires created by Senri were dancing to the accompaniment of songs and music.

　Here was a parade of the strangest kind, perhaps unparalleled in the world, ancient or modern.

　At last, we were able to reach the giant’s feet.

“–Narugoa! I’m tired of waiting!” (Alraune)

　As I danced awkwardly, I looked to the side and saw Alraune’s Chariot running alongside the parade.

“Alraune! You’ve been doing well!”

“Truly! Let’s have a drink later! …and !? Will it be successful!?” (Alraune)

“No problem! In theory, this should work! Operation “Senri”! What is your plan?”

　At that point, Alraune shook her head.

　When I wondered about it, she smiled kindly and said

“The important thing is that we do what you want us to do… O-order me, Mid-Boss-san.” (Alraune)

“Alraune…”

　I can’t help but smile.

　…oh, I have good subordinates!

　I scream their name loud and proud.

“–Alraune! Kyuu-chan! Sergeant!”

“…Yes!” (Alraune)

“Yeeaah!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Yeees!” (Sergeant)

　And then I gave them a single order, to those people who responded cheerfully.

“—The Power of God Sharluel and Anchor, stop them and do your best to be parade guards… Please do it! Our victory is just around the corner!”

“Consider it done!” (Alraune)

　Alraune’s chariot spun its wheels violently, sending up countless petals.

　The floating petals quickly cover the giant’s legs, and Alraune’s chanting causes explosions of a wide variety of magic.

　The rising giant that had been targeted sank into the earth again without a second thought.

　The tsunami of dust that is billowing towards us was stopped by the wind magic chanted by my [Thousand Hands].

　Not even a mere grain of sand will get in the way of this parade.

　We sang and danced even more fiercely.

“What are you people doing…?” (Sharluel)

　However, the angel Sharluel is completely disinterested.

　She raised her small shoulders before hatefully looking down at us.

“…Oh so you’re making a fool of yourself? This Power of God, Sharluel, surrounded by a dingy demon-like atmosphere…!” (Sharluel)

　With that said, Sharluel points at us.

　Then a divine light is converged on her fingertips—

“It’s bad! The angel’s attack is–!”

　I was about to stop dancing and defend myself.

“Hey!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Abu!?” (Sharluel)

　Kyuu-chan, who jumped in front of her, erased Sharluel’s upper body with a powerful roundhouse kick.

　Of course, Sharluel, who has the Authority of [Shimer”, will not be damaged, and will slip through like smoke.

　However, at the same time, the divine light that had accumulated at her fingertips was also dispersed.

“This Bat who cannot read the air… distracting me…!” (Sharluel)

　Sharluel’s body that was scattered from all directions began to reassemble and reform Sharluel.

　But,

“Wooaah!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Buuu!?” (Sharluel)

　Kyuu-chan, who flew away quickly landed a hell dropkick on the angel.

　The heel, which was as swift as a lightning bolt, again scatters Sharluel’s body into smoke.

“Hey… this Bat…!” (Sharluel)

　Then Sharluel’s particles moving like smoke began moving and reforming at a different remote place.

　However, she underestimated Kyuu-chan’s reflexes and motor skills.

“I won’t forgive you anymore, I’ll get rid of that Bat first… eh?” (Sharluel)

　By the time Sharluelel regained her original shape, Kyuu-chan had already landed a hit at the center of her eyes and nose.

“You can’t escape from Kyuu-chan~~~~~!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Oi, wait…!” (Sharluel)

“—Whirlwind kick!” (Kyuuketsu)

“Ah–” (Sharluel)

　It was already an incredibly beautiful Whirlwind Kick.

　Kyuu-chan’s kick tears through the sky and creates a literal whirlwind, blowing off Sharluel’s entire body not even leaving a trace of her existence.

　I was left speechless from the merciless overkill attack but Kyuu-chan just looked down at us and said while smiling like a sunflower,

“Narugoa-saaan! Leave the angel to us and just do your thing!” (Kyuuketsu)

“…I understand!”

　How dependable!

　I will withdraw my [Thousand Hands] and devote myself to dancing.

“…Narugoa-senpai’s friends are very strong.” (Senri)

　Senri who was dancing next to me murmured,

“Yes, they are.”

“I wonder if my subordinates will be able to be like that one day.” (Senri)

“Stop spouting stupid things. They already are… Look at them. “

　Senri and I danced and looked back.

　Nekomata was strumming the shamisen with remarkable speed, shredding it like a guitar.

　Yukime was performing a beautiful dance, while the snow was falling all around us.

　Momiji and Sakura, the Oni’s sisters were playing the shakuhachi, leaning close to each other with a very gentle and serene expression on their faces.

　No one has any doubts, fears, or even hesitations.

　They were working fulfilling their role.

“Everyone believes in you and has followed you so far, is there more to wish for?”

“…Well, I think I said something stupid, my subordinates are totally awesome.” (Senri)

“Once all is done, pay your subordinates the unpaid overtime. Pay it in a lump sum.”

“I-I know okay…” (Senri)

　Senri looks embarrassed, and I laugh.

　Right after that, I sensed a change in the air around us.

　This change was nothing more than the fact that our operation Senri was beginning to show its true value.

“–It’s the last round! It’s coming soon! Night is coming! Then we win!”

　With my call, the excitement from the parade reached its climax.
