Everybody, please check the FAQ first before asking me questions.

Thank you for your consideration, guys!

No sooner had the roar come from above, did the ceiling crumble and break. Martial General Basten made his appearance. He looked like a wolf which made him a beastman, but his strength was on another level. The mana that clad him was on a different magnitude to a beastmans. Together with his dignity, he was clearly different from a normal vampire. It made sense that he called himself a general.

Girl. Your name?

Basten spoke to Tilea-san. But Tilea-san didnt realise he was talking to her, and started looking around.

Nono, Tilea-san, however you look at it, hes talking to you. Please think back to all the things youve done.

I think hes talking to you, Tilea-san.

Eh!? Eh!? M-, Me?

Indeed. Arcune, Horus, Bebe I want to know the name of the one who defeated three of four, proud Malferand Knights.

H-, How did you know it was me?

Hmph. I followed the scent on their corpses. Every one of them have your scent on them.

B-, By scent

Indeed. With my sense of smell, it was an easy task Well? Your name?

Whats wrong? Your name! HURRY AND SPEAKK!

Y-, Yes, its Tilea.

I see. Then Tilea, I shall be avenging my comrades!

Basten prepared for battle. The atmosphere began to quake as the mana transmitted through the air.

W-, What incredible mana!

Demons really are on a different scale to us. But even so, Tilea-san can do something about this.

Now, Tilea-san. Please use your kukanomi as usual to

I-, Its no good H-, How could this happen.

Tilea-san?

W-, Why is it a werewolf! T-, THE WEAKPOINT HAS CHAAAAAANGEEEEDDDDDDD!

Eh? Whats that mean? She wont be throwing kukanomi like usual?

UWAHH! Ill be killed! S-, Somebody I-, I know! I-, Its your turnnn! Slaughter Sword Ozuma-san! Blue Comet Shaben-san! Samidare Shogun Shana-san!

Tilea-san began begging the F-rank adventurers to save her. Everyone seemed to be stunned by the sudden appearance of the demon, but Tilea-sans loud voice woke them up.

UWAHHHH! D-, DONT DRAG ME INTO THISS!

S-, Somebody call the Public Safety Forcee!

H-, Hiii! W-Why is a demon here!?

They discarded their prided weapons and ran left and right. Even if its a demon, arent you guys too panicked? Even a new student at the Academy wouldnt act so shamefully.

Well, maybe it cant be helped. Even an A-ranked adventurer wouldnt stand a chance against this Basten demon.

To say nothing of F-rankers

Tsk. A noisy bunch of flies, arent you.

In that instant, a flash of demonic light struck from his hands. It was so fast I didnt even see him move. All the adventurers were killed in an instant. Some of them had their heads sliced in two, the brain tissue spilling out. Others were bisected from top to bottom, and all kinds of viscera splashed from inside.

Now then, the nuisances are out of the way. Time to

I-, Its bad! A demons appeared! Enemy attack!

Hearing the noise, the guards assembled. Every one of them had their weapons in hand as they faced Basten down.

Impertinent! The first thing Ill do is tidy up you riffraff!

Basten roared and sent the guards flying.

Aahh, they really were no match. We were already lacking all the strongest members like Remilia-sama to begin with. I need to get Tilea-san to fight somehow.

Tilea-sa

Jessica-chan, n-nows our chance to run!

Eh!? W-, Wait a mo

Tilea-san grabbed my hand and forcefully dragged me outside.

Why is Tilea-san running?

Tilea-san, why wont you fight like usual?

Jessica-chan, its impossible this time. The enemy is a werewolf. Kukanomi wont work.

But why? Even a werewolf should be fine for you. Please just try throwing the kukanomi.

Jessica-chan, it wont work. Kukanomi and crosses wont work against a werewolf. Aaahh, if only I had a silver bullet

Silver boolet?

Tilea-san started fixating on something weird again. Even though a kukanomi would work just fine

What should I do? How can I persuade her? Or would it be faster just to play along with her?

Tilea-san, I dont quite know what a boolet is, but would a lump of silver work?

Yeah, as long as its made of silver

I quietly picked up a stone from the roadside, and alchemised it into lead. I might not be able to create gold or silver, but Im plenty skilled enough to create lead.

Tilea-san, the truth is I have some silver with me.

Saying that, I handed the lead stone to Tilea-san.

EEH!? Really? What a coincidence! With this, we can beat him Waii, is this really silver? Its not really shining, and dull, almost like lead

Tilea-san made an obviously suspicious expression. Well of course. It really is a clump of lead.

Tilea-san, that stone is actually an heirloom passed down in my Nichol family. Over the hundreds of years that weve had it, its gained a dignified tinge to it. But I can assure you that its silver.

I wonder if my excuse was a bit lame. I dont think even Tilea-san would be fooled by

I see! Now that you mention it, it really does look kind of elegant and silvery.

SHE BELIEVED IT! I just blurted some nonsense. As Tilea-san took a good look at the lead, she praised The skill of a craftsman sure shines, huh~ and nodded.

Then Tilea-san, please dont be shy. Please throw that at Basten in place of the kukanomi.

Yeah Are you really okay with this? Its an heirloom, isnt it?

Its fine, Tilea-san. In fact, I think that my ancestors would be happy as well, if they knew it was used to defeat a demon.

Tilea-san, its just a clump of lead I created at random, so you dont have to worry about that.

I see. Then I wont hold backOh no, that wont work!

Tilea-san lamented. Apparently there was yet another problem.

Tilea-san, whats the matter this time?

Jessica-chan, you know, when it comes to silver bullets they cant be thrown by hand. Theyre only as small as a bullet after all. You need a pistol to shoot it.

Aahh, so annoying. Cant be helped. Ill just deceive her somehow.

But whats a pistel anyway?

Hmm~ From what she said, Im assuming its a weapon like a bowgun. After all, she said that you cant just throw it.

Huhu, if Tilea-san would just throw it, it would reach speeds impossible for a bowgun though. But even if I said that, I doubt Tilea-san would believe me.

In that case

I know! As I recall, Tilea-san said that she could use elementary magic, didnt she. Ill have her throw it with magic. Besides, her elementary magic is definitely going to end up being a match for our final tier magic. If its Tilea-san, I think shell be able to beat him with magic as well.

If you cant just throw it, then you can release the silver with magic, Tilea-san. You said that you could use magic, didnt you?

Yeah. Only elementary magic though.

Theres no problem. Even elementary magic can produce incredible speeds. It can reach an itchimilicon per second.

Im honestly astounded by myself. I bet even a child wouldnt be fooled, but it should be fine since its her, right?

I see! I dont really get it, but that sounds really fast! Definitely as fast as a pistol. No, maybe even more. As expected of a fantasy world.

Yep, I knew it! She started muttering words I didnt understand again, but it seems that I convinced her at least.

So this is where you were. Ive crushed all the garbage inside. Now then, shall the strongest begin their fight!

After finishing with the Headquarters, Basten appeared and roared fearlessly at her.

Jessica-chan, stand back. Leave this to me

Y-, Yes.

I obediently left things to Tilea-san. Thank goodness. Shes motivated now.

You defeated Bebe and the others. Ill begin at full power! HAAAHH!

Bastens mana suddenly surged.

N-, No way. The already high mana rose even further. C-, Could this be the same amount as the huge mana I detected?

Then, Basten created a high density flame.

A-, Amazing. This isnt anywhere near kilo, or mega anymore.

Giga No, perhaps the legendary Terafire[Greatest Flame Spell]

I was overwhelmed by Bastens flame spell. On the other hand, Tilea-san seemed happy with the lead I alchemised. She was filled with confidence, or perhaps I could even say that she was acting careless.

This wont do. Even if its Tilea-san, if shes hit by that

I was about to warn her but my body suddenly swayed.

N-, No good. This again. A demons pressure. At this range, I cant hold on.

Ahh, no good, my consciousness is fading. T-, Tilea-san, the rest is up to you.
