>>6092884The weight of his question, of the situation you find yourself in finally hits you. Your entire village is on fire, people could actually be <span class="mu-i">DEAD</span>. Your friends, your classmates, teachers, or even... Mamaw Yuiyui and Papaw Hyoizaburo! If they're in trouble, you need, you HAVE to help them! You are Meloka Wolbach, the daughter of the Crystal Sage Chilli and Master of Explosions Megumin! And you can't, you WON'T sit back and watch people you care about getting hurt!
“I understand.” you say seriously, meeting your father's eyes. He stares deep into yours a moment before nodding. Before he can say anything a column of fire explodes up by your brother, knocking him back as you all watch a monster rising from the ground. The creature is clearly evil-looking, mostly skeleton itself with large bat-like wings, large slashing claws and giant horns.
“Who dares to-Oh, it's you.” the demon says to your little brother, letting itself relax a bit. “So, what is it this time?”
“Our village is under attack! We need your help to fight them!” your little brother says as he rises back up to his feet, looking fearlessly towards the demon. It appraises him a moment before looking to you, your mother, then stopping at your father. The skull's eyes widen in surprise, seeming to shrink back a bit upon seeing him. “Will you help us?”
“Very well. I shall lend you my aid.” the creature says, your brother nodding to him.
“Good. Everyone seems to be holed up in Red Prison, so first thing's first we'll make our way there.” your father tells you all. “Milha's already there, helping out. So I'll help you all reach the school and get inside. But once we're there, I want you all to help protect everyone else.”
He then stops, turning to your mother and whispering something to her, to which she nods. He nods back, turning back to you all and asking one question:
“Are you ready?”
“Ready!” you and your brother reply, your father nodding to you both then walking over to his wall facing the school. He draws his right fist back, then with a grunt of effort swings. His punch shatters his crystal wall, sending shards exploding out and cutting down more than a dozen skeletal warriors.
“Now, move!” he shouts, charging forward.
“Go, Summoned Skull Archfiend!” your brother calls, the hulking demon charging out through the opening, lightning crackling around its body. “Smite them with your power and make us a path, Lightning Strike!”
“GRRROOOAAAR!!” the demon bellows, its lightning arcing from it towards the nearest undead. Frying them near-instantly, reducing them to ash.
