Chapter 93.2: Kraken of Frozen Sea
Chapter 93.2: Kraken of Frozen Sea
Poh-chan suddenly pushed me aside.
One of the tentacles caught onto Poh-chan who stood at where I was at just a moment ago.
「NOWAAAA―――――!!!」
「POH-CHA―――――AN!!!!」
The tentacle which caught her was amongst the slender ones but it was strong enough to catch Poh-chan who specialized in brute force.
At this rate, she was going to be dragged into the sea.
IT’S MY FAULT!!
「WATCH OUT, GENERAL PUTINA!!!」
Master Kuroki jumped up as he cut the tentacle and caught Poh-chan.
While at it, he cut several other tentacles to save the others who were also caught by tentacles.
His movements were truly a sight to behold.
Master Kuroki then landed on the ground while carrying Poh-chan.
IN A PRINCESS CARRY ON TOP OF THAT!!! I’M SO JEALOUS OF POH-CHAN RIGHT NOW!!
「Thank you, Your Excellency… NYOHOHOHOHO.」
Poh-chan who landed safely on the ground thanked Master Kuroki while letting out a strange laugh.
A rosy hue appeared on her cheeks too.
KUUUUUUUH――――― I WANT TO BE HUGGED TOO!!!
The shaking on aspidochelone finally stopped after Master Kuroki showed those tentacles who’s boss.
But, the killing intent of the Kraken was still going strong.
It will attack again.
「You Highness!! I’ll go engage the Kraken in the sea!! Please use that time to get away from this place with the remaining ships!!」
Master Kuroki told me to go to a safe place.
But, I’M NOT GONNA BUY THAT!!
I mean, I want to be saved by Master Kuroki too!! I recalled the reason why I came to this place.
Master Kuroki would definitely save me when he realizes that I’m in danger.
I couldn’t swim!!! But it isn’t a big deal!! I want Master Kuroki to carry me in his arms too!!
「NO!!! I’LL GO WITH YOU, MASTER!!!」
Master Kuroki look really surprised and happy upon hearing that.
「UNDERSTOOD, YOUR HIGHNESS!! LET’S GO!!!」
Master Kuroki stretched his arms towards me as he said so with strong voice.
I became a little bit embarrassed when he looked at me with sparkling eyes full of trust.
「W-WHAT’S THE MATTER, YOUR HIGHNESS!! STOMACHACHE?!!!」
And Poh-chan was disturbing such a great moment.
「POH-CHAN BE QUIET!!!!」
I wanted to tell her that I’m so jealous of her who got a lucky chance to be carried with princess carry but I decided not to tell her that.
The Kraken used more of its tentacles and shook aspidochelone again.
「YOUR HIGHNESS, WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!! SOMEONE, PLEASE LEND YOUR WEAPON TO HER HIGHNESS!!!」
「No, Master. I have my weapon with me. Come, Great Hammer of Roaring Thunder!!!」
A giant metal hammer appeared in my hand when I called its name.
Amongst the weapons given to me by my dear father, this weapon was the only one that could withstand my power.
Though I might have no chance to use it seeing that Master Kuroki is with me.
「LET’S GO, MASTER!!」
Master Kuroki and I ran until the tip of aspidochelone’s nose and took a deep breath.
This should allow me to survive in the sea for a while.
Thus, our bodies plunged into the sea.
The seawater was really cold. I somehow managed to resist that while trying to stay afloat.
When I strained my eyes, I saw the silhouette of a gigantic figure in the darkness of the sea.
That gigantic figure was rushing toward us while unleashing a barrage of tentacles.
But, Master Kuroki cut off the tentacles that were heading in my direction.
Just a bit more.
Master Kuroki wouldn’t save me unless I got attacked by those tentacles.
I flapped my hands as I went toward the Kraken.
「YOUR HIGHNESS, YOU WENT TOO FAR AHEAD!! PLEASE RETREAT A BIT!!」
Though we’re inside the sea, I could hear Master Kuroki’s voice.
This must be some sort of magic.
But right now wasn’t the time to ask such a question.
This was my first time doing an exercise called swimming but I somehow managed to close in toward the Kraken.
You don’t know unless you try, eh?
The kraken’s tentacles were heading toward me.
At the same time, I heard Master Kuroki calling me from behind.
Finally, the tentacles wrapped around my body and brought me toward its head.
It was a bit painful.
I struck its head lightly with my great hammer of roaring thunder.
Thereupon, the tentacle’s clamping suddenly loosened.
Okay, this should be enough.
Now I only need to wait for Master Kuroki to wait for me.
Defeating this kraken should be a piece of cake for Master Kuroki.
My imagination went wild.
I imagined the gallant figure of Master Kuroki rushing to save me and holding me gently.
WELL THEN, MASTER KUROKI!! COME AND SAVE ME!!
Suddenly, Master Kuroki who was rushing to save me stopped mid-way.
Eh, what’s happened with him?
Moreover, I noticed that the clamping of the tentacles became really weak.
And then, I looked at the kraken.
For some reason, it wasn’t hostile anymore. Moreover, its eyes that shone ominous red until a while ago had already faded away.
The Kraken who caught me rose up to the surface.
And just like that, I rose along with the giant Kraken to the surface of the sea.
The tentacles that were coiled my body finally let go off too.
「SPLENDID, YOUR HIGHNESS POLEN!! I NEVER EXPECTED THAT YOU COULD TAKE IT DOWN IN A SINGLE HIT!!」
Master Kuroki came up from the sea and toward me.
Why did it die so easily when I only tapped its head lightly? You must be kidding me, right?
Uuh, had I known this, I shouldn’t have brought my great hammer of roaring thunder at all.
Regretful.
「U~hm…」
I scratched my head. What should I do about this situation?
Can I cry now?
「EVERYONE!! THE KRAKEN HAD ALREADY BEEN SUBJUGATED BY HER HIGHNESS POLEN―――!!」
Master Kuroki flew into the air, heading toward aspidochelone.
I want him to at least hold me.
And then, a cheer raised up from the aspidochelone.
「ALL HAIL YOUR HIGHNESS POLEN!!!」
「AMAZING, THAT KRAKEN WAS NO MATCH AGAINST HER HIGHNESS!」
「AS EXPECTED OF THE DAUGHTER OF HIS MAJESTY THE DEMON KING!! THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN EXPRESS THIS LIBURM’s AWE!!」
「YEAH, AS EXPECTED OF HER HIGHNESS!!」
「ALL HAIL HER HIGHNESS POLEN!!」
「ALL HAIL HER HIGHNESS POLEN!!」
「YOUR HIGHNESS―――!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING―――!! QUICKLY GO TO SEE THE DOCTOR ―――!!!」
Everyone was cheering for me.
Let’s ignore that one rude voice amongst them.
Liburm’s subordinate and Ezasa’s ship were coming to pick me up.
I had yet to be saved by Master Kuroki, but…
「REDO!! I DEMAND A REDO!!」
But, my voice was drowned by the cheering of others.
