[The Axe Saintess is Surprisingly Pure]

Shortly after, a hole opened at the ceiling of large cavern with a rumble.

“—Tri-Cross Gallows!”

――Clang!

As a torrent of seawater poured into the large cavern, Shiva-san summoned three shields to block and sealed them out as planned in advance.

“Alright, leave this place to me!”

“Got it! –Let’s go, Ophir!”

“Ou!”

After leaving the place to Shiva-san, we went off to stop Boreios, who was knocking down buildings after buildings as if to say they were in the way, in his track and took a battle stance.

“Yo, old man. Ya seem to have changed a lot, don’tcha? I say, a somber mug is more suitable for ya, y’know?”

“Grrrrrr…” Boreios growled in response to Ophir’s words.

As I was wondering if he’d wait a bit more, considering that he was outnumbered,

“Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!!”

““!””

He roared, then rushed in our direction in a savage manner.

It looked like he was raring to go at it from the get go.

“Okay, it’s only common courtesy to respond in kind. Let’s get this fight started with a bang! Oph—wait, she’s gone!?”

Midspeech, I got shocked by the disappearance of my partner.

When I looked over, Ophir, who should have been next to me, was already running towards Boreios, the Holy Axe in her hand, while shouting, “Yer miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!”

“No, wai-, eeh…” I was at a loss for words seeing the sight.

But well, while she was able to get some action when Porco-san had got blackdollified, she had been on standby so far.

She must have been looking forward to the opportunity to freely let loose like this.

I fully sympathized with her feelings, but… I wished she had said something in advance…

And here I was shouting, “Let’s get this fight started with a bang!” with an extremely manly look on my face…

Haah… as I let out a small sigh.

“Oraa!”

“Roaargh!”

BANG! Their weapons collided with each other, and the impact destroyed the ground beneath their feet, opening a crater-shaped hole.

But it seemed that Boreios was superior in terms of raw strength.

――Clang!

“Guwa!?” Ophir was blown back, drawing a parabola.

“Whoops!” As such I flew into the air in Vermillion Bird Form and caught her in a princess carry. “You okay?”

“Y-yeah, my bad. It’s been a long time since I last got a chance to fight with everything I have, and I got myself carried away.” Ophir blushed, probably from embarrassment.

I shook my head, “No,” and said, “You don’t have to worry about it. Your safety is all that matters.”

“O-ok…”

“?”

As I tilted my head seeing Ophir, who was for some reason being bashful, Shiva-san, standing at the top of a building which was higher than the surrounding ones, said, “My, you’re no longer a virgin, yet you got shy because of a princess carry? You’re surprisingly pure, aren’t you?”

“Huh?”

“S-shaddap!? I’m not shy, ‘aight!? And don’t call me ‘pure’!?” Ophir refuted with a bright red face, getting off of my hands.

With her face still beet-red, she then scratched her head and said, “Uhh, well. That auntie’s gettin’ under my skin, so let’s hurry up and use 《Superior Arms》.”

“A-alright.”

“Hold it right there. Who did you call shitty auntie?”

“No, I never said shitty though!?”

But of course, Shiva-san reacted sensitively to the ‘auntie’ part.
