Grasping Victory with Best Partner

“!?” (Spriggan)

I placed the ‘Jet-Black Shield Casparleague’ on the ground, exposing myself defenselessly. Perhaps it hadn’t expected such a move, but Gigant Spriggan, who had been peeking through the gaps between its fingers to observe me, looked stunned and silly.

Well, it wouldn’t make sense to it, considering it is desperately guarding its weak point while I display a seemingly weak position. So, what will you do now? Will you continue to protect that eye and leave me, who can be killed with just a flick of your fingers, alone? You wouldn’t do something so pathetic, right?

“!!” (Spriggan)

Ah, did it think I was mocking it? Its face turns bright red as it is charging at me. You’re so kind to expose your weak spot.

Gigant Spriggan brought its enormous hands together, wound up, and swung them down heavily towards me. However, I had been waiting for this moment.

“Cas! Now!” (Harold)

“Take this! [Snatch]!” (Casparleague)

Unable to stop its heavily swung arms, Gigant Spriggan showed an expression of shock. Naturally, Cas’ jet-black claws, having been waiting for this moment, didn’t miss the weak point of the eye.

“GROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!?” (Spriggan)

The single eye was shredded to pieces, and Gigant Spriggan let out its first cry. It was a scream.

That’s right. The ‘Jet-Black Shield Casparleague’ could maintain its form and release [Snatch] only because of my SP. That’s why I deliberately placed the shield on the ground and pretended to distance myself from it, while actually continuing to supply SP to Cas.

Thanks to that, Gigant Spriggan was completely deceived. However, the giant hand that had been swung with great force didn’t stop and approached right in front of me.

“Oh.” (Harold)

I easily avoided the attack from Gigant Spriggan, which was much slower than Xandra’s attacks. I leaped backward, leaving only the tip of my toes touching the ‘Jet-Black Shield Casparleague’. The fist crashed into the ground, causing a tremor. At the same time, Gigant Spriggan fell forward.

“Haru!” (Casparleague)

Amidst the swirling dust, Cas, having lost the form of the ‘Jet-Black Shield Casparleague’ and reverted to its original kitten form, leaped at my chest.

No… onto my face instead of my chest!?

“Wait!? That hurts!?” (Harold)

“Yay, yay! We won!” (Casparleague)

Gigant Spriggan was completely silent, and Cas, still clinging with claws out, was enthusiastically declaring our victory. As a result, my face was covered in scratches.

Oh well.

“So, the title you wanted is beyond this door, right?” (Casparleague)

“Yeah.” (Harold)

I knew the title was supposed to be behind this massive door, but the problem was how to open it. I thought the door would open automatically after defeating Gigant Spriggan, but it remained firmly shut. I searched for any mechanism to open it, but, as expected, found nothing.

“Hmm… Does this mean we have to open it manually?” (Harold)

No way, right?

“Hey, Haru.” (Casparleague)

“Hm? What’s up?” (Harold)

“If I turn into the Calamity Beast Casparleague, maybe we can do something.”  (Casparleague)

“Really!?” (Harold)

Though currently in the kitten form, Cas could transform back into the Calamity Beast Casparleague if I supplied enough SP. It seemed like a viable solution. However…

“Hmm.” (Harold)

“Wh, what…?” (Casparleague)

I found myself staring at Cas.

I recognize Cas as my trusted partner, and Cas has never shown any sign of betrayal. But with Xandra and Monica absent, if Casparleague attacks me, my fragile defenses wouldn’t stand a chance. Is it worth taking such a risk?

“Ahaha.” (Harold)

It’s too late now. Cas defeated Gigant Spriggan alongside me and has never once shown any signs of betraying me. Actually, it’s crazy to doubt your precious partner.

“Laughing at me now is so mean!” (Casparleague)

“Sorry, sorry!” (Harold)

As Cas playfully nudged me with its front paws, I laughed heartily. Since my partner suggested it, I decided to give it a try.

“Alright, partner?” (Harold)

“Of course, partner!” (Casparleague)

I placed my hand gently on Cas’s back as it stood on all fours in front of the door.

“Nyaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! The Calamity Beast Casparleague has descended!” (Casparleague)

With a size rivaling that of Henwen, Cas struck a triumphant pose and declared with a high-pitched voice. I couldn’t help but rub my temples. I was starting to get a bit worried.

“This door will be shattered with just one of my blows! Nyaa-aa-aa-aa-aa!” (Casparleague)

Cas slammed its forepaws down with all its might, creating a resounding shockwave in the room.

Oh! This is looking promising!

“Nyaa! Nyaa! Nyaa!” (Casparleague)

Cas continued its series of strikes, and the massive door began to gradually buckle.

Oh! As expected from a limited-time event boss, the name Calamity Beast Casparleague is not just for show!

After about ten minutes of this intense battle.

“How’s that, nyaa! With my power, this is nothing!” (Casparleague)

Cas wiped its brow with a forepaw and puffed out its chest. The door was finally opened, though only enough to allow a person to squeeze through.

Is this truly something to boast about for a magical beast?

“Alright! Partner, let’s go!” (Casparleague)

Cas, now back to its usual kitten size, hopped lightly onto my shoulder, showing no signs of regret about leaving its powerful form behind.

“Yeah! Let’s go, partner!” (Harold)

I high-fived Cas and slipped through the gap in the door it had created.

Indeed, Cas is the best partner I could ever have.
