I love time travel the most!

"Well... at least it has to look like Your Highness took action."

"Al, I've remembered your little scheme. I'll punish you later."

"Please be lenient on this point."

Al scratched his helmet in distress, looking quite frightened.

Then, a beautiful young woman dressed in a red dress and holding a folding fan stepped down from the luxurious dragon carriage. Her appearance did not attract anyone's attention, after all, the battlefield was extremely tense and no one cared about this side.

But soon, her actions will attract everyone's attention.

"Alright, as a reward for providing such an interesting scene, I'll lend them a hand."

Priscilla straightened her back and raised her head, exuding terrifying magic.

The arrogant girl, protected by the sun, reveals her extraordinary strength at this moment.

"This can't be called 'slight'..."

Seeing his princess's attitude, Al muttered something under his breath.

Priscilla plunged her hand into the void beside her.

Pull it out!

A sword decorated with exceptionally beautiful patterns, its hilt and blade both vividly red, was slowly drawn from the void!

It shone with a light as intense as the sun, and even the magic that banished the night could not completely obscure its dazzling brilliance!

You can imagine how bright it would shine in the dark!

—Yang Sword!

One of the Ten Famous Swords, it is a weapon of the same level as the Dragon Sword.

As for its power...

Priscilla swung the flaming sword in her hand.

The longsword, trailing a flame and appearing to be no different in size from an ordinary weapon, carried a terrifying pressure and instantly traversed a distance of several hundred meters, piercing the beluga whale's body with absolute speed, after which the massive body burst into flames.

The flames, unique to the sun, were too much for mere magical beasts to withstand, and they were quickly burned away.

"Hmph, it's okay."

The arrogant girl gave a light snort and climbed into the carriage without looking back.

"What a hypocritical princess," Al couldn't help but mutter, glancing at the simmering battlefield. "That's all I can do for you, brother."

Just as Priscilla guessed, he did indeed deliberately say those words to provoke the arrogant girl into making a move.

On the battlefield.

"W-What happened? Why did one of the beluga whales suddenly burst into flames?"

Subaru Natsuki exclaimed, voicing everyone's doubts.

Only Kobayashi used his "eyes" ability to see Priscilla returning to the carriage and realized that it was Priscilla who had just made the move.

Honestly, I thought she was just there to watch the show.

"Don't think about that yet."

Kobayashi turned to Subaru and said, "Now there's only one white whale left, but it's quite high up. I have a plan, it's a bit risky but worth a try."

"Even if I say no, you won't stop, right? So... just go for it! I believe in you, Kobayashi!"

Subaru Natsuki raised his right fist and shouted.

Kobayashi smiled, then shouted to the kobold behind him, "Ricardo! Get me up there!"

"it is good!"

Ricardo didn't know what he was going to do, but the ferocity with which he had just swung the white whale made the leader of the Iron Fang mercenary group choose to trust him unconditionally.

He leaped up and landed on the large cleaver.

"Hey buddy, are you ready?"

"bring it on!"

"Awoooo ...

Ricardo roared, his arm muscles bulging as he swung his greatsword into the sky, while Kobayashi, propelled by the force, charged toward the white whale.

Seeing a tiny human rushing towards the sky and about to touch him, the beluga whale suddenly flipped its body nimbly and opened its blood-red maw to bite him.

"Take it down, Kobayashi!"

Amidst the expectant shouts of the crowd below, Kobayashi was instead swallowed whole by the beluga whale.

Huh?!

If an average person saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked by the stark contrast.

however--

"A monster is a monster. You underestimated it, White Whale!"

The dim-witted beluga whale naively believed that swallowing its enemy whole would erase everything about it.

Little did they know, this was something Kobayashi did intentionally.

After Priscilla's reminder, Kobayashi realized that the white whale's body was not as resistant to magic as its exterior suggested, so he decided to destroy it from the inside!

"The moment you swallowed me, it meant you had already lost!"

Kobayashi began chanting a spell inside the beluga whale's mouth.

"...Take this! This is humanity's most powerful attack, this is ultimate attack magic! — Explosion!"

The beluga whale's body stiffened instantly in the sky, then its already enormous size swelled up even more. Flames then erupted from its wounds, and cracks spread from the wounds until they covered its entire body.

Then, to everyone's anticipation, the beluga whale exploded with a deafening roar, sending a massive crimson firework into the sky.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!" xN

Amid cheers from the crowd, Kobayashi, weakened by the loss of his empowerment after unleashing the explosive magic, and a pile of mangled flesh, fell from the sky.

Is he going to fall to his death like this?

That's too embarrassing.

Just as he was about to fall heavily to the ground, before he could even react, a purple figure caught him in her arms.

"What a commotion, Lord Kobayashi."

"Ah, you're right."

Unable to move, the limp and powerless Kobayashi could only let the doll girl wipe the blood off his body.

Regardless, this victory belongs to them.

"Oh--"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!" xN

His victory shouts resonated with many people.

Chapter 389 The Capital for Infinite Trial and Error is the Reason for Becoming a Nanny

As is well known, postwar management is a much more troublesome matter than the fighting itself.

Both the injured and the spoils of war—the carcass of the beluga whale—must be preserved properly.

Kobayashi was also curious and asked them why they were collecting the beluga whale's carcass. The answer they received was that it was a threat that had roamed the skies of the world for four hundred years, and only with clear evidence like its carcass could people truly feel at ease.

However, due to the explosion magic breaking from the inside, most of the beluga whale's body was gone.

Kurshu stubbornly insisted that he would bring back his head even if it was just his head.

Seeing how persistent she was, he had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, this is an astonishing achievement. He was originally the best candidate for the royal selection and enjoyed the support of the people. If he can also gain the favor of the merchant forces who have some reservations, Kurshu's position will be as solid as a rock.

……perhaps.

There's nothing we can do about it; the key figure in taking down the White Whale is Kobayashi, who's currently lying in the maid's arms.

In terms of merit, Ferut would clearly receive more.

Honest Kurshu wouldn't shamelessly claim credit for himself, not even Priscilla, who only acted once, would take a share.

And according to—

"I am extremely grateful for your assistance."

"Ok?"

"Without you here, I would not have been able to defeat the White Whale, and my goal might have been abandoned halfway."

The beautiful woman in armor bowed deeply to Kobayashi.

That's to be expected. After all, whether it was the fog pollution that almost wiped them out, or Kobayashi's heroic act of turning the tide in the final moment of despair by preemptively smashing a white whale to revive the morale of the desperate expedition team, or his miraculous plan to bring them back from the brink of death by putting himself in danger, he accomplished the mission brilliantly.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the MVP of this battle.

Xiaolin was completely exhausted and could only wave his hand weakly, saying, "No need for thanks, I've already accepted everyone's help, haven't I?"

He certainly contributed the most, but without the support and excellent environment created by Wilhelm, Ricardo, and Cousteau, Kobayashi wouldn't have been able to exert his full potential.

Overall, it was a victory for the team.

"Honestly, she's nowhere near as good as you."

Kurshu was full of admiration and greatly appreciated Kobayashi.

No one will underestimate Kobayashi in this battle. Since he has become the biggest contributor, what's wrong with saying a few nice words and showing humility?

In terms of interpersonal relationships, they have done quite well.

Driven by a thirst for talent, the Duchess earnestly invited, "You are indeed an attractive person. If I could get your help, the throne would surely be within my grasp."

"That's an exaggeration, I'm still far from that level."

Kobayashi replied directly.
