Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

BRAKADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Along with a loud breaking sound, Yamata no Orochi raised its giant head while scattering a cloud of dust and ice.

「Haah… The plan that I came up with easily got crushed with brute force.」

「The hell you're talking about, Momokawa!」

「HURRY UP!」

After Randou-san and Class Rep quickly jumped into the trench, Mei-chan also carried me to escape from that place.

Yamata no Orochi's subjugation plan began, one of which was sealing the monster's three heads. Today, we experimented by trying to seal one head during the 1st phase, both Randou-san and Class Rep were working together to use ice and earth magic. Alas… both the magics got smashed to pieces with simple brute force.

Thus, we regrouped in the frontline headquarters for an emergency meeting.

Well, the cause of our failure was obvious though. I had already expected that Orochi's brute force could easily overcome the restriction of both magics.

「Wait a minute, Class Rep, it's still too early to give up.」

「I agree with Class Re~p. I've done my best to make it more durable and this is the result.」

Yup, I knew that she did her best. None of them were cutting the corner.

We tried our best to tie down Orochi's head to the ground with ice and earth magic. Everything went smoothly thanks to the support from the vanguard party alas…

「Even though it was weakened due to the paralysis poison, it broke the binding the moment the poison's effect wore out.」

「We have to make a stronger binding method.」

「It's impossible, I tell you~」

Class Rep looked at her ice cane with a troubled face. Randou-san was just as unenthusiastic, sitting slovenly with her legs spread out. Ah, I can se――

「How about we make a stronger cane?」

Commonly known as Takanashi's slot.

This was the stabler version, but when we tried to enhance the weapon to its limit by using the ability of the 『Sage』 in this shitty real-world net game, the weapon ended up breaking.

「Our success rate will go down even further if we lose this.」

The ice cane was Class Rep's beloved cane.

Realistically speaking, it strengthened the ice crystal to another level but it would be akin to a slot game if we tried to strengthen the cane any further.

「I guess I have to ask Tendou to enhance this one too~」

Randou-san had no problem with upgrading her weapon, however, Tendou-kun wasn't a specialist in this area. When it came to the limit of weapon enhancement, it should be on a similar level as Takanashi. Let's ask Randou-san to confirm that.

「But I get this feeling that it can't be strengthened any further.」

「Uhm, I see. So we can't use a convenient way…」

「Kotaro-kun, I think you should use something long, sharp, and hard to pierce the head and seal the movement of something long and slippery.」

「That's for cooking right?」

「Yeah, when handling eel, I usually use steel piercing to pierce the gills under their eyes.」

Yamata no Orochi's size was a million ti―― No, wait a minute, if we managed to pull it off, we could literally seal its movement.

It would be fun to see what would happen if it recovered with a foreign substance in its body. Would the foreign substance get destroyed? Or would it recover with that foreign substance still stabbed through its body?

「Mei-chan, let's try that plan.」

「Seriously? Yaay.」

Mei-chan smiled happily when I decided to try her plan. Man, I wanted to protect such an angelic smile. Ironically, I was the one who always got protected by her.

「Well, that is truly an out-of-the-box idea. Thanks for that suggestion.」

I mean, my original plan met a huge setback. If we took our time to think of a plan, we might someday arrive with an eel-like treatment plan but, it was a really huge breakthrough when such an inspiration came out right away.

The saying about two heads better than one was true. Since I wasn't perfect or a genius, I wouldn't be able to come up with such a method by myself. It was a precious suggestion from another person. I mean, another person meant another perspective.

「Meaning that we need to change the place to pierce. Randou-san, can you make 『Terra Kris Sagitta』 with the image you used when you pierced the zombie for the first time?」

BRAKADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Along with a loud breaking sound, Yamata no Orochi raised its giant head while scattering a cloud of dust and ice.

「Okay, that's plenty enough results! Everyone retreat!」

We raced to the nearby trench and I shouted loudly— Bye-bye, head of the 1st phase that has always been used as our guinea pig. See ya later.

「Thanks to Mei-chan's genius idea, we finally found a proper way to seal the head.」

Okay everyone, clap your hands. People would lose motivation if they didn't receive the necessary praise. That's why praise them for their job.

「I'm the one who worked the hardest though.」

「Yes, Randou-san has also done her best in this regard.」

Thanks to her for using 『Terra Kris Sagita』 as a pillar when she built the bunker. She had now become more proficient in using attack magic vertically.

「Your training progressed quite nicely too, Class Rep.」

「Yeah, my training is progressing pretty well with a concrete goal.」

We couldn't rely on the whimsical god to receive new magic, so we might as well utilize the available magic in another way. Maybe it was only a matter of time before Class Rep learnt a magic that allowed her to shoot giant icicles by instinct.

「Momokawa~, praise me too~」

「Geez, okay, okay, just don't be a hindrance~」

Maybe because she wanted me to pay attention to her, Randou-san kept messing up with my hair. This praise-hungry gal.

「I've always been in your care, Randou-san. You're the most reliable spellcaster, including when we made the bunker.」

「Hehehe~, ri~ght?」

I wanted her to stop tousling my hair after I gave her the praise she deserved. Yet, she kept going.

Well, since we were glued together, I could feel her boobs pressing the back of my head. At this rate, I wi―― Oh cr*p, Mei-chan is glaring daggers at us, let's stop it, I'm not that suicidal.

「Anyhow, thanks to the overly reliable Randou-san, we had no problem in achieving this step.」

「The real thing in Momokawa-kun's plan was to have Randou-san dig the bedrock of the rocky mountain, right? I can't help but worry since it means that she can't maintain the seal.」

Yeah, that was the biggest hole in this plan.

According to the plan, we start with sealing three heads first. If even one of these seals was destroyed, then it meant that we shouldn't continue and retreat to the nearby bunker.

We would only go into the rocky mountain once we had confirmed that all three heads had been sealed. In short, Randou-san's first job was sealing the three heads, before she joined us and climbed the mountain.

Once we climbed the mountain, Class Rep was the only one with magic that could be used for sealing. Honestly, this was another hole in my plan since it left room for too much anxiety.

「Most of all, I can't use 『Eternity』.」

「… Yeah, that's another stumbling block.」

After Class Rep and Randou-san nailed Yamata no Orochi's head to the ground with ice and rock, Randou-san had to cast 『Eternity』 to maintain the material form of the rock and ice without magical power.

But if this nail that had 『Eternity』 cast on it was destroyed, we couldn't make another one in Randou-san's absence.

In that situation, Class Rep wouldn't have a choice but to keep firing her ice spear to maintain the seal. And she could only last around five minutes when doing that.

「Class Rep, can you somehow learn that skill?」

「Sorry but when it comes to magic other than ice attribute… I have to gain some sort of clue but…」

It seems one needed some sort of talent to use magic outside of their expertise. At this point, Randou-san didn't just seem to have a breakthrough in earth attribute, and that other attribute was 『Eternity』-like magic.

「Uhm, I hope we have another person who can use that but…」

「But the majority of spellcasters will go with you, Momokawa-kun.」

Yup, that was another glaring hole.

Spellcaster was already a rare class to begin with. Including Randou-san and Shimokawa, the other spellcaster, Souma Sakura would go with us too. The vanguard who fought the eight heads would be in a desperate situation that they had to fight without any covering fire from the rear guard.

「Because we need them to enter the rocky mountain.」

「We have no leeway to change the formation. Since that's the case, we've to prepare an alternative for 『Eternity』 or u――」

「Oi, you forgot that there's another person who can use 『Eternity』.」
