You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Gulp... In the end, it's just a giant golem! Watch me blast you to pieces!"

The lich stretched out his hands and chanted the incantation for the ultimate magic.

"Abuda, Nirabuda, Etingta, Hohova, Huhuva, Utpala, Padma... Die, you monster!"

Countless frosts stretched out from the void, defying the laws of physics and drawing away all the surrounding temperature, forming a dazzling ice flower with countless petals.

"Mahapadma!"

The lich Leoric's ultimate technique, the ice-attribute ultimate magic called "Great Crimson Lotus," was unleashed without reservation.

but--

What meaning would that level of magic have for this "fairy" who was already almost a god on earth?

Thousands upon thousands of ice spikes struck the monster's hard surface, but could only knock away a few scattered clods of earth.

Then, the entire street that rose from the ground obscured the last glimmer of starlight and shrouded the lich in its own shadow.

"boom------!!!"

The fairy swung her arm down hard, crushing the "Great Crimson Lotus" and its master together with a deafening crash.

There wasn't even a place to return to (the Crimson Lotus) Hell; the undead were wiped out to the point where they couldn't be dead any further.

"Okay, that's all."

Celestia clapped her hands lightly, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

She nodded, and the "town's fairy" gradually crumbled.

In a very short time, the monster that had been standing proudly on the ground was transformed into a small mountain made of countless stones.

"...Wasn't this a little too much?" Yuri said.

Although Celestia has always been reckless in battle, this kind of grand gesture of injecting divine power directly into the entire town is unprecedented.

Although the enemy is also the strongest so far...

Is Celeste in a bad mood tonight?

After Yuri asked the question, the Elf Queen pouted her lips in grievance.

"I was planning to sneak over after the hero went to take a bath... but I accidentally fell asleep in the room while waiting."

It's a rare treat to come to a hot spring resort, and I was originally hoping to bathe with the hero...

Celestia spoke shyly, glancing at the boy out of the corner of her eye, as if she wanted to say something.

"..."

Yuri looked up at the starry sky.

Since the last Dragon Island Singularity, he has also learned some squeezed astrology knowledge from Chaika.

Now, he can determine the approximate time by observing the seasons and celestial phenomena.

"It's still early, shall we go for another soak later?" Yuri asked.

"Huh!? Is that okay?"

Celestia showed an expression of both surprise and delight.

Yuri nodded: "If it's just taking a bath together, that's fine..."

"Let's go! Let's go! Hero, sir!"

Celestia bent down and hugged Yuri's arm.

"Ugh, don't pull me."

Yuri glanced at the Elf Queen's towering breasts out of the corner of his eye.

"Would the hotel towels be big enough to wrap around those two huge, ripe fruits?" he wondered.

Now that they both have the "Blessing of the Hero" and the "Blessing of the Goddess," it's impossible for them to do anything out of line, a fact that Celeste is well aware of.

Speaking of which, I've also found the reason why I've turned into a 10-year-old child's body—

Perhaps it was thanks to Rosalia that I was able to regress to a more innocent age.

Well, since things have already turned out this way, let nature take its course.

The two walked through the ruins towards the hotel.

“By the way… what about the town you destroyed?” Yuri suddenly thought.

"It wasn't me who destroyed it, Hero, you're so rude... Well... how about the King makes the compensation? It's the Hero's duty to support him."

"What a cunning woman. I think I know why you've become so close to Rosalia."

"Hero, did you say something just now?"

The Elf Queen revealed a beautiful and enchanting smile.

……

……

……

The Demon King's Castle, Throne Hall.

Of the four lamps located directly below, one has just gone out.

"...Was Leoric killed?"

Rosa, the Demon King, who sat on her throne, learned of the death of her subordinate immediately.

"As expected of Yuri and Celeste, they're getting closer and closer to the Demon King's castle..."

Rosalia wasn't idle during the few days she was in the singularity.

She mass-produced drugs that could rapidly enhance the physical constitution of demons in a short period of time, and these drugs were recently distributed to the Demon King's army.

Although the hero and princess's journey has been going smoothly so far, things won't be so easy from now on.

In addition, Rosalia also used her magical knowledge to create a magical device in her spare time—

The crystal ball now lying quietly on the Demon Queen's lap allows Rosalia to observe distant space and time.

"Was Leoric's last known location a hot spring town in the south? Let me see what happened..."

Demon Queen Rosa poured magic into the magical device, and an image appeared as a result.

"?"

What appeared inside the crystal ball was a hot spring shrouded in white mist.

Then, one of the two figures in the pool was a mature blonde woman with long, pointed ears.

Even though her body was wrapped in a bath towel, it still couldn't hide her alluring, full curves.

Sitting side-by-side with the beautiful, mature woman in the bath was a remarkably slender young man.

Celeste and Yuri... those two are actually taking a mixed bath in the middle of the night!?

Rosalia was furious and clenched her fists.

So far, the only women who have bathed with Yuri are Rosalia and Cecilia.

That shameless, promiscuous sprite!

then……

"Oh no! The towel has slipped down!"

Amidst the Elf Queen's deliberately exaggerated scream, the white bath towel slipped off her body and floated quietly on the surface of the hot spring.

"Brave, Hero... please don't look this way! Waaah, so embarrassing!"

"........."

Rosalia's lips twitched slightly.

She made up her mind and ignited her fighting spirit to completely defeat Celestia in this singularity.

174 Fated Enemies, Twins

It was already past midnight when Yuri and Celestia came out of the hot spring.

Yuri thoroughly enjoyed the hot springs, especially the visual treat.

The Elf Queen's artistic and beautiful lines and voluptuous figure were still clearly visible even though she was wrapped in a bath towel.

After the bath towel fell off, the huge white peach that suddenly appeared, floating on the water, was an incredibly alluring sight that made one's blood boil.

Meanwhile, Celestia's wish for a "mixed bath" was fulfilled, and she returned to her room contentedly after leaving the bath.

Because the hotel didn't have many guests, the two were able to openly take a mixed bath late at night.

Also because there weren't many guests, Celestia couldn't find an excuse to share a room with Yuri.

Yuri did not go straight back to her room.

Perhaps it was because I soaked for too long, and the heat in my body hadn't dissipated yet—

Tonight, for some reason, the hero Yuri had trouble falling asleep.

He went alone to the bamboo grove behind the hotel.

A night breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled and swayed with the shadows of the trees.

The layers of slender bamboo leaves rub against each other, producing complex musical notes.

The melodious tune seemed to remind Yuri of summer nights from her past life.

The moonlight filtering through the slender bamboo leaves is also breathtakingly beautiful.

In the depths of the moonlit bamboo forest, a dark figure appeared.

"What a pleasant journey, brave warrior."

While Yuri was still confused, the dark figure took the initiative to speak to him.

His voice was eerie and cold, even reminiscent of a mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion.

He was clad entirely in jet-black armor, so airtight that it resembled darkness itself, with only a pair of deep red pupils gleaming eerily in the darkness through the gaps in his helmet.
