Chapter 159: CH 162

Chapter 162 – Acid Attack

“Sorry, Ma-chan, for making you cry.” (Bouchi)

“Onii…chan?” (Mahina)

I shifted my gaze from Mahina to Totoki.

“Totoki, I can’t trust you yet.” (Bouchi)

“…! …Yeah.” (Koine)

“So there’s no way I can let you help me with my work.” (Bouchi)

“……Okay.” (Koine)

“But…” (Bouchi)

“Eh?” (Koine)

“But your thoughts have reached me. There’s a task that I’m willing to entrust to you.” (Bouchi)

“…?! R-Really?” (Koine)

“Yeah. But if you accept the task, it will be a complete change from your current environment. You won’t be able to see the people you know as easily. Would you still be willing to do it?” (Bouchi)

“W-Wait a minute, Bouchi-kun! Will that make her unable to see us, her family, anymore?” (Aika)

Her older sister understandably couldn’t control the rising tone of her voice.

“If Totoki accepts the task, I would like you all to undertake the tasks with her too.” (Bouchi)

“Bouchi-kun, I will take on that task!” (Koine)

“Are you really sure?” (Bouchi)

“Yes! If it’s for your benefit, I’ll do everything in my power, Bouchi-kun!” (Koine)

“Ma-chan will do her best too!” (Mahina)

“If my two younger sisters say so, I’ll do what I can too.” (Aika)

The Totoki sisters were unanimous in their decision.

“Are you sure about this, Master?” Yofel asked, a little concerned.

“Yeah, they themselves fired up about it after all. I think they’re just the right person for the job, actually.” (Bouchi)

“…! You’re going to put them there…?” (Yofel)

“It’s a good idea, isn’t it?” (Bouchi)

We had a certain problem… Well, it was a bit trivial to be calling it a problem, but it was still a matter that needed attention. It wasn’t that we couldn’t do it on our own, but it would certainly be more convenient if we had some help. And it was something that otherworlders couldn’t do. That was why I offered. There was a clear benefit involved.

But it sure was strange that problems would arise whenever I met Totoki. I didn’t know if I was the one attracting trouble, or if it was Totoki.

At that moment…

“Milord! Some trouble has arisen!” (Kaza)

Kaza’s voice, tinged with a hint of alarm, sounded in my head.

“What is it? Did something happen?” (Bouchi)

“It is about that water spout. It was not water that was gushing out of the ground.” (Kaza)

“What?” (Bouchi)

“The liquid—it was acid! And now, the acid that appeared is raining over this region and beginning to dissolve everything! The range of the acid is getting bigger and bigger, and it will probably reach you soon. I recommend that you evacuate now!” (Kaza)

I suddenly stood up from the sofa.

“…?! Master? What’s wrong all of a sudden?” (Yofel)

“I’ll explain later! Everyone, get out of this house right now!” (Bouchi)

“Eh? E-Err… Bouchi-kun?” (Koine)

“Just listen to him! Hurry, or it’ll be too late!” (Yofel)

“…?! Onee-chan…!” (Koine)

“O-Okay… Come on, Mahina, come here.” (Aika)

Totoki’s older sister picked Mahina up in her arms and ran with Totoki towards the front door. Then, I heard Totoki’s older sister let out a startled ‘what is that?!’ from outside the door.

There, off in the distance, was that massive spout of ‘water’ fountaining up into the sky.

…So that’s the acid spout that Kaza was talking about, huh?

Then, the acid rain began to approach the house before our eyes. The buildings that were exposed to the acid were gradually melting away and corroding away with a hissing sound.

“Eh? The b-buildings are… melting?” Totoki muttered, finally realizing the danger of the situation.

At the same time, screams could be heard ringing out here and there. There were probably people who were inside the nearby buildings, just like Totoki and her sisters had been. Those that didn’t get away in time had probably fallen prey to the acid already.

“Kaza, are you there?!” (Bouchi)

“―Yes!” (Kaza)

Totoki and her sisters were startled at the sight of a strange creature in traditional Japanese getup appearing before us the moment I called for him.

But Mahina…

“It’s Beetle Man!” she exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Kaza.

“Beetle Man, you say? Umu! I am Beetle Man!” Kaza declared in an inexplicably good mood, striking a superhero-like pose that would be popular with children. Mahina’s eyes began to sparkle.

“U-Uhh, Bouchi-kun? This person… who is he?” (Koine)

“Like I said, I’ll explain later. For now, this house…” (Bouchi)

I touched my hand to the house that Totoki and her sister had been living in and stored it in the , just like I had once done to my own house.

Seeing their home instantly disappear before their eyes left Totoki and her sisters shocked speechless. But I had no time to tend to their questions.

“You guys, we’re getting out of here right now! Yofel!” (Bouchi)

“Understood!” (Yofel)

Immediately catching onto my meaning, Yofel gathered the Totoki sisters in one place and grabbed their hands. Kaza also put his hand on my shoulder, while Ior clung to my legs. Then, I took the hand of Totoki, who was standing closest to me.

“Aah—-?!” (Koine)

Startled by me suddenly taking her hand, Koine stared into my eyes as her cheeks flushed red.

Indifferent to her reaction, I immediately used a [Teleportation Crystal] and moved us to a certain location.
