My next life as the Winter Fox? I just want a carefree life

~Third person POV~

"Sasha! Stella!"

As soon as Edelweiss called their names, the two lolis jumped from their seats and landed in front of her.

"Yes, Shishou!" (x2)

"I don't want to waste my time with troll-face over there. You two handle him. I'll make sure to freeze all the background characters until the Demon King gets closer."

"Understood!" (x2)

"Lecia, Legolas, make sure to protect the Queen."

"Naturally!" (Lecia)

"Again, who's Legolas? My name is Edolas. You could at least remember me. And although I don't approve of you at all, I would have done that without you telling me." (Edolas)

"Huh!? Are you for real? You really are making two little girls take me on? Don't underestimate me. Now that my disguise is done, I can display my full power." (Galan)

"Pathetic. Such an insect can't even assess the depths of Shishou's power." (Sasha)

"Agreed. If he had any brain he would see how much of an idiot he looks like." (Stella)

Galan covers both his fists with dark flames while talking. Naturally, Sasha and Stella were unarmed as they weren't allowed to bring weapons to the wedding. Yet, they couldn't take their opponent seriously.

“I’m called the flame destruction knight, ya know. Destroying things is my strong point. Let’s have a little strength competition.” (Galan)

“I see. You seem quite good at fire magic. It's no wonder why Shishou asked us to fight you. She could snuff you like a candle. You aren't worthy of her time.” (Sasha)

Galan clicks his tongue and makes a disgusted look.

“You know you can’t win against Shishou but you think you can win against us in a contest of strength. Such a shallow person.” (Stella)

“You beastmen are always so provocative.” (Galan)

“Nee. Let me tell you something.” (Sasha)

Sasha smiled at him and then laughed.

“You’re way too short-tempered.” (Sasha)

“Shut up!!”(Galan)

Galan shoots fire from his fists but Sasha lifted her leg into a standing split manner and then slammed it along with the fire in the ground. She wrapped her leg in anti-magic. It was something she learned from the spirits.

“Hou. Not bad. Let’s try it at half power this time!!” (Galan)

Galan crosses his fists and develops a magic formation.

“[Incendio Burst]!!” (Galan)

The flames break into 8 pieces and attack Sasha and Stella from all sides.

"Allow me, sis." (Stella)

Stella raised her hand pointing two fingers upwards.

"Spell of holy water, [Aqua Barrage]!"

Streaks of swirling water intercepted all the flames and extinguished them.

“This is boring, sis. Hey, hurry up and come at us with your full might Mr pompous and weak idiot-san. If you don't, you'll die before putting out your full strength.” (Sasha)

Galan grits his teeth.

“……How did you know…..?” (Galan)

“That you’re weak? It's pretty obvious.” (Sasha)

“Stop screwing around! I’ll kill you! I’m asking how you knew I wasn't using my full strength!?” (Galan)

“You really are an idiot to ask your enemy aren't you.” (Sasha)

“What did you say…..!” (Galan)

Galan kicked the ground and charged straight at Sasha.

“Then how about this!!” (Galan)

Galan covers his whole body in fire magic. It pretends to be a defence magic but it actually covers its opponents when it comes into contact with them and seals their magic. 

"So, boring. I'll handle this." (Stella)

Stella didn’t retreat however but stepped forward instead.

“Haa! Like a summer bug jumping into fire!!” (Galan)

Galan spreads his arms wide and grabs Stella.

“Purging waves, [Water Nebula].” (Stella)

A swirling water orb appeared in Stella’s hand before turning into an aqua blade which she plunged into Galan’ stomach.

“Gaaa…….” (Galan)

“You really can't get a proper reading on your opponents, can you, Idiot-san? That attack might have worked as a surprise attack. You’re too full of openings.” (Stella) 

Stella puts more magic into the water blade causing Galan’s blood vessels to start popping.

Galan jumps back.

“Tch…..!!

Shut up! Let me show you what you want then!” (Galan)

Galan draws a magic formation using the flames and a sword made of shadows appears from the center.

“Show your blazing powers, Kaizer!” (Galan)

At Galan’s words, the rising sword sucks all the fire into it and turned into a glittering scarlet sword.

“How’s this then? Out of all the demonic swords it burns the hottest. It is said to have created the sun. What do you think of the magic power of the Fire Eruption Sword Kaizer?” (Galan)

“Idiot-san. No matter how amazing something's magic power is, it’s useless if the user messes up.” (Sasha)

“Haa! What was that? You scared?” (Galan)

Sasha sighs.

“Care to explain it to him, sis. This guy is giving me a headache with his stupidity.” (Sasha)

“Umu. We’re saying it's a waste of a treasure because the user is an idiot. Is that any clearer?” (Stella)

“Oraaa!!” (Galan)

Leaped and rushed to strike the two girls however they merely jumped sideways, letting the sword only hit the ground where they were standing.

“Oh dear. In a battle, you have to hit your opponent, you know?” (Sasha)

Once again Galan rushes forward and aim’s at Sasha.

“I’m not done!! I’ll get you now!!” (Galan)

Galan swings his sword down missing Sasha who’d done a nimble backflip similar to a professional gymnast, but the raging flames scattered from his sword turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.

A wall of flames formed to block Sasha’s escape routes.

“Seal her, Kaizer.” (Galan)

The raging flames of Kaizer are drifting around Sasha and forming a magic circle that turns into a powerful barrier that blocks the power of the target.

“How’s the taste of my barrier? Can you use your magic? Can you move? You can't, can you?” (Galan)

Galan points the tip of Kaizer at Sasha.

“I’m going to flashily break that impertinent mouth of yours so you can never speak again!!” (Galan)

Galan kicks the ground but the next moment he vomits blood from his mouth and falls to his knees.

“Ka…..fu……..what……the……?” (Galan)

“You really didn’t notice. A regular idiot would feel insulted if we were to keep calling you idiot. ” (Stella)

Galan looks backwards.

“What the hell did you do?”

“I haven’t lifted a finger. With all that jumping around, it only just kicked in now. When I pierced you with Water Nebula, I fused that spell with Cursed Poison Zaja.” (Stella)

Galan tries to put power in his legs but his body won’t respond.

“I think you know this but Zaja is a poison that hides in magic. It erodes the origin of the person affected by it, eats into your body and shreds your internal organs. Since you also poisoned the king, it seems fitting for you to die by the same fate.” (Stella)

“…..Gahaaa….a…a…. Damn it….. This poison…….” (Galan)

“You know, sis, I think dying from poison is too good for him. After all, he insulted Shishou.” (Sasha)

“True. We can’t let him get off that easily after conducting himself in such a rude manner.” (Stella)

“Farewell, Idiot-san.” (x2)

Both the tiger lolis kicked Galan in the face at the same time. The force of the impact shattered his skull. His head popped like a water balloon and what remained of his body fell limp on the ground.

“Yuck. We got blood on ourselves again. How does Shishou manage to kill stuff without getting dirty?” (Sasha)

“We can ask her to teach us that next time. Let’s get ready for now. It seems she’s about to start her own battle.” (Stella)
