A gust of wind runs past me, as Kalin, who should be staying back, rushes forward.
“Hey! Kalin!”
She got on top of one of the Hipopo brothers and she’s charging at the giant ladybug.
She looks like she’s having fun, yelling as she holds her sword high. She’s like a kid.
Kalin also manages to stay in place on top of an Hipopo brother without a saddle through the power of her legs alone.
But the Hipopo brother isn’t just going to suddenly start listening to her after she decided to hop on its back.
It doesn’t look like she’s going to fall off, but I can’t see her landing a good attack either.
Sure enough, just as Kalin is about to swing her sword at the giant ladybug, the Hipopo brother gets up on its back legs to kick it.
Of course, Kalin’s attack misses completely.
The Hipopo brother also can’t move as well as it should, due to having Kalin’s weight on its back, and its kick is less impactful. But the other Hipopo brothers soon follow with their own attacks.
Oh well, it’s only natural. From that Hipopo brother’s point of view, someone just got on its back all of a sudden and started riding it. Nice job everyone.
“Hey… Rust!”
I can hear Kalin. Her natural voice is loud anyway, so I can hear her even during the battle.
Yes yes. Geez…
I turn the magic circle to make one of the scrolls forming the composite activation come to me. I’m looking for the one describing control.
I look at the scrolls one by one as they pass by me.
“Is this the one?”
I stop the scrolls, and touch one to authenticate.
“《Authority change》, Kalin Admiral. 《Assign authority》, simple authority, Hipopo brothers.”
I give Kalin simple authority via voice commands, and set it so the Hipopo brothers will listen to her.
“Kalin, try giving them commands!”
I put my hands near my mouth to make a funnel as I shout at Kalin.
“Nice job Rust! You always get it! I love you!”
“Yes yes.”
From there, Kalin’s movements are superb, combining her natural instincts for battle with her vast experience.
Hipopo brothers are directed splendidly and flow like a river, as they skillfully rush towards the giant ladybug and pull back.
The giant ladybug is down before I know it.
I breathe a sigh of relief, and look back to ask Ahri about the future she saw with her ability.
But what I see is Ahri pushing Princess Lily and falling into a hole.
