Atelier Tanaka

Book 3: Chapter 2 (4)

Conflict 4

Gonzalez, please fight safely.

Dont worry about us! Were fine as long as weve got you on our side!

Of course!

Besides, when else would we have an opportunity to fight so intensely without worrying about dying!? They can rip off all my armour, but Ill keep coming at them!

Although, thanks to this, the fighting has intensified. If it doesnt get worse than this, I may be able to keep up somehow. At this rate, this battle should be finished just before sundown.

It was not long after Gonzalezs war cry that a strange sight came into view.

Thats.

I spotted a naked female soldier fighting on the front lines.

A female soldier that had lost all of her clothing was waving her staff right in the middle of the battle. Moreover, shes not making any attempt to cover her chest or anything else. The other women retreated to the edge of the battle when their armour and clothing were damaged, but she was the only woman charging forward into the fight.

And she was charging towards fighters from the Twilight Company. Her magical attacks were fired straight into large groups of allied fighters. With a loud crash, dozens of men from the Twilight Company collapsed to the floor, only for them to quickly rise once more. Even after being severely injured, once they returned to their feet, theyd continue staring at the naked woman. Those guys are clearly enjoying the full benefits allowed to them by my recovery magic.

Thanks to this, the nude woman was left free to attack without worrying about herself. Her magic was powerful and destroyed the armour of multiple fighters at once with each blast. Soon, most of the men surrounding her were left completely nude as well. With nothing left to cover them, their lower bodies were completely exposed, and many of them were excited after seeing the naked enemy soldier.

This shameless scene was repeated many times beneath me.

And thats when I recognized the nude female soldier.

It was Mercedes-chans meat toilet.

Soldiers from both sides soon closed in around her. At first, only a few men from the Twilight Company reached out to grab her exposed chest and thighs. Before the battle began, we prohibited members of the Twilight Company from doing things like this. However, with an attractive women standing right in front of them, completely nude, none of the men seemed to be able to resist groping her chest. There were even some men going further and a few fingers appeared to be inserted in her.

A few of her allies managed to pull her free, but she was quickly caught again and molested. She was rescued once more but was quickly molested again. She was rescued by another friendly soldier, but the men wouldnt give up and captured her again.

Nee-chan, youve got a great body. Noo~, stop! Nee-chan, your body is amazing! Noo~, shtop~! I can feel something amashing inside~! Nee-chan, youve got a great body. A-Ah~n, why are you only focusing on my breasts?

This is the feeling I got from watching this.

I cant actually hear her cries, but Ive seen enough AVs of this genre to know what shed be saying.

wonderful.

Theyre accomplishing what the lesbian knight was unable to do.

.

I assumed that the men would eventually have their way with her, but they seemed content with just groping her. It was almost like a buggy H game that was stuck on a loop of the same scene. The enemy soldiers now seemed to be also enjoying themselves.

Near this scene, Drill-chan could still be heard endlessly calling for her soldiers to stop fighting.

Wait, what are you all doing!? Why are you all ignoring me and having fun with the enemyyyy~!?

Drill-chans attention turned towards her men that were having fun with their naked ally and the men from the Twilight Company that surrounded her.

They paid no attention to the words of the lord they had never seen before.

But an important event was happening at the edge of the battle that I had yet to notice.

Oi, human.

It was the long-haired man that called out to me.

What do you need?

They seem to be planning something big over there.

I followed his gaze to a massive group of men all wearing robes. They were easy to find due to the fact that the group must have consisted of over a thousand men.

This must be why many of the enemies had retreated from the frontlines. Those using swords or spears were still at the front, but almost all of the staff users had retreated to the edge of the meadow. Based on the long-haired mans words, they must be combining their power together for a massive magic attack. A magic circle formed beneath the entire group of enemy mages.

Whatever it is, its obviously a threat.

This is pointless.

The long-haired man mumbled something that I didnt quite catch.

My masters safety comes before everyone else. You can decide what to do for yourself.

How powerful do you think their attack will be?.

Who knows.

.

Hes really nothing but a useless masochist slave.

Im sure I could survive whatever this attack may be if I were to activate my invincible mode, but for me to do that, Id have to stop sending out healing waves. With this being the case, I dont have many options.

well, I guess I have one clear choice.

Ill have to do my best to avoid the attack using my flight magic while continuing to heal all of the soldiers faster than they can be harmed by the attack.

Fortunately, theres plenty of open space above the meadow.

Are you going? Or do you actually think you can protect yourself while healing those below us?

Tch.

As the long-haired man finished speaking, a magic spell was launched from the gathered robed men.

A massive seven coloured beam of light erupted into the sky. Ester-chan and Sophie-chan used this same type of magic back when we fought the Red Dragons. However, this light was significantly larger than either of their attacks. It rocketed higher into the sky before breaking into countless beams that came plummeting down to earth.

Fortunately, most of these attacks looked as if theyd hit the enemy army.

We should be able to manage somehow.

As the beams of light came crashing down, the long-haired man grabbed hold of Drill-chan and escaped the battlefield. Just like before, he used magic to disappear in an instant. Im guessing hes taken her somewhere safe. Theyre both ready to run from the battle the second our situation became dire.

On the other hand, this soy sauce faced guy is in trouble.

The enemys attack, which appeared likely to miss most of my allies, has now focused solely on me.

U-Uuuoooooo!

Its keeping pace with me.

Im racing through the sky at top speed but the beams of light continued chasing after me.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of these things chased me through the sky. It was like a real-life bullet hell game.

If this were a game Id at least have a bomb to clear some of them out. A bomb.

***

[Sophia-chans point of view]

This is bad. A terrible magic was just released by the Pussy Republic.

It was as if dazzling lights were pouring down from the heavens onto the battlefield. The beam originated from a large group of robed men in the corner of the meadow. It travelled high into the sky before breaking into a myriad of smaller shafts that were all locked onto Tanaka-san.

Its the same type of magic that Ester-sama and Sophie-sama used back on Mount Pepe.

Wha

Ester-sama was surprised at the sight of the magic.

I wonder if Tanaka-san will be able to survive.

Well, Tanaka-san is with the Ahan Baroness and her servant. With them by his side, Im sure hell be fine. From what Ive heard, theyre both incredibly strong.

The anxiety I was feeling lessened as I held this thought in my mind.

However, just as the shower of light came rushing towards the barrier, a magic circle appeared in front of me and the Baroness attendant emerged from it. The Baroness was also standing with him. This must be teleportation magic. Amazing.

.

Its an amazing sight, but because those two appeared in front of me, I can no longer see Tanaka-san.

Whats happening?

You, werent you supposed to be protecting that man?

Fahren-sama, who was resting with us, asked the attendant this.

He told me that hed be able to manage on his own.

W-What.

It seems that Tanaka-san has been left alone to defend against the shower of light. I looked around the two to see the beams of light racing through the sky after Tanaka-san. The longer they chased after him, the more intense the lights became and the more they continued to split. The mages on the ground continued summoning more light bullets. As we looked down on the battlefield from our hill, the countless spears of light blocked off large sections of the meadow.

Even if its that man, Im not sure hes capable of healing everyone and avoiding that attack. When he fought against the dragon he wasnt able to avoid many of her attacks. If I consider that guys magical abilities, hes not at all suited for this type of combat.

Tanaka-san is in a dangerous situation.

And Ester-sama couldnt bear to watch it any longer.

I-Im going! Wait for me!

Just as Ester-sama left the ground Fahren-sama grabbed her ankle.

Wait! Do you really think you can do anything to help him!?

But!

Ester-sama was on the verge of tears. She was clearly a maiden in love.

Remember, he still has the Dragon by his side.

Ah

After hearing Fahren-samas words, Ester-sama looked relieved.

However, this relief only lasted a brief moment.

Were you talking about me?

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh~!

Ester-sama broke.

The Dragon is also here with us.

When did she get here?

Still, even if Ester-sama rushes to Tanaka-sans aid, shell only make the situation worse. She cant be allowed to leave, so I grabbed onto her other ankle to assist Fahren-sama.

Let me go! Let me go, damn it~!

I-Im sure Tanaka-san will be okay! Definitely! Hell definitely be fine!

Youre wrong! I cant let him die!

That man wont die to something like that. He wouldve died by my hand if he were that weak.

I cant let him dieeeeeee~!

Ester-sama has been breaking a lot recently.

Just the other day she saw Tanaka-sans severed head and that seemed to activate her motherly instincts. She carried around his head like a baby until she confirmed he was still alive. Her love for him is overflowing and its causing her to act rashly.

Calm down, Richards daughter!

Theres no way I can keep calm when hes in danger! Its impossible!

The Baroness also spoke up at this time.

H-Hey, Geros? Was it really okay to leave him alone?

Theres nothing for you to worry about, Master. He said hed be fine on his own.

I dont remember hearing him say that.

He said it only to me.

really? Then, w-well, Im sure hell be fine.

Ester-sama was still frantically trying to get down to Tanaka-san.

A hint of concern swept across the Ahan Baroness face as she looked at Ester-samas desperate attempt to help Tanaka-san. I know that they used to be friends. The Baroness desperate gaze swept back and forth between Tanaka-san and Ester-sama.

Even if theyre currently enemies, shes still showing concern for her former friend.

Ah, look!

As I was watching her, Fahren-sama yelled this.

Whats happening now?

I turned my attention back to the battlefield to see a figure racing through the sky.

I-Is thatTanaka-san?

Impossible. No human could fly with such precision through a barrage of magic like that. More importantly, somethings wrong. Despite the fact that theres no barrier protecting him, the light bullets disappear when they get close to him.

Small bands of light would shoot out from Tanaka-san, destroying any beams of light that came close to him. He would still heal everyone and fly around avoiding all the other projectiles whilst doing this.

How difficult must it be to do all of that at once?

Howhow is that possible!?

His mana must be recovering at a tremendous speed. Hes using some type of attack that mimics his healing waves and nullifies the light beams. How much confidence must he have in himself for him to be able to do something that requires such precise timing? No way, does he intend on handling everything on his own!?

If Fahren-samas words are to be believed, Tanaka-san is tempting death itself.

But hes surviving. Amazing.

.

I turned my focus to everyone else watching Tanaka-san with worried expressions.

Their eyes never left Tanaka-san as he soared through the sky.

Whereas everyone watching him was worried about his safety, he actually looked calm and relaxed. Is this something only a man as powerful as him can feel given the situation. And I too felt confident in Tanaka-sans abilities. I still felt anxious watching but I was less fearful than the others.

The light bullets chased Tanaka-san through the sky as Ester-sama continued screaming for us to release her.
