Adventurer's Guild Café: I Was Wrongfully Exiled by the Saint, So I Will Enjoy My Second Life with My Fluffy Friends-Chapter 3.5 - A Big Fluffy Explosion

“!”

My body felt hot.

It was like my heart was on fire.

A strong light poured out from my fingertips.

But I couldn’t fully dispel the black mist. Somehow, I realized that my power wasn’t enough.

What should I do…?

As I was thinking that, before I knew it, Lulu had climbed up onto my shoulder.

“Lulu!”

“Kyuruuuu!”

Lulu let out a high-pitched cry.

In that moment, the light from my fingertips grew even stronger.

I think I can pull it out now…!

With all my strength, I grabbed the black stake and yanked.

With a heavy, dragging sensation, the stake finally popped free.

“Kyah!”

The sudden release made me fall backward, landing hard on my rear.

Ouch… but I managed to pull the stake out.

It melted into a gooey mess and disappeared from my hand.

“Pigyuuuuu!”

“Huh!?”

The moment the stake was removed, the Mokomot puffed up in an instant.

Wha…?! What’s this? It looks like it’s about to explode…!

“Kuna!”

As I sat there on the ground, staring blankly up at the Mokomot, someone suddenly yanked me backward. It was Kiril.

“You idiot!”

“I’m sor—”

This wasn’t the time for apologies.

Realizing there was no way to escape, Kiril shifted me behind him and extended his left hand toward the Mokomot.

In that instant, the golden light from before enveloped us again.

“Kiri—”

“Shut up!”

And then—

BANG!

A deafening explosion rang out as the Mokomot detonated. The light soared skyward, blowing the entire warehouse to bits.

“Yikes!”

Clinging to Kiril’s back while holding Lulu, I braced myself.

But there was no pain, no sense of the blast reaching us.

Instead, only a dazzling light gently surrounded us.

“…?”

I slowly opened my eyes.

“Huh?”

Above us, a large hole had opened in the warehouse ceiling. Through it, a brilliant blue sky stretched out like spilled paint, and soft, fluffy objects drifted down like snow.

“Peep.”

“Peep.”

“Peep, peep, peep.”

Chicks.

No matter how you looked at it, they were baby chicks.

Chicks were falling from the sky in droves, like snow.

Yellow, light blue, pink—bright, colorful ones.

“Wha...?”

Both Kiril and I were at a loss for words.

“Roon!”

Lulu stopped growling and let out a relieved sound. The chicks fluttered down gently and, for some reason, began gathering around me.

“Fluffy?!”

“Peep.”

“Peep-peep~”

“Peep!”

As the fluffy chicks crowded around me, I flailed in confusion. Meanwhile, Kiril finally moved. He stood up and looked toward the sky.

That’s when we noticed something even stranger.

While the chicks were falling in soft, fluffy waves, the roof debris and other rubble had stopped in midair.

Kiril turned to look toward the entrance of the shed.

“…Kiril. Looks like your skills are getting rusty.”

A man with striking blue eyes and black hair stood at the entrance, pointing a staff at the sky.

I recognized him.

Today, he was wearing something like a military cap.

On the cap was a crest depicting two crossed staves. The same emblem was likely sewn onto the back of his uniform as well.

“Gier.”

Kiril clicked his tongue in frustration.

“What exactly is going on here?”

Piercing blue eyes locked onto me.

From behind him, more people dressed in the same black uniform as Gier-sama approached, gathering one after another.

They were all looking at me, murmuring amongst themselves.

“Hey, is that a girl from the White Wolf tribe? This is my first time seeing one.”

“Whoa, no kidding. Her reflexes are on a whole other level.”

“Forget that—did you see her just now? She was clearly performing Purification...!”

Cold sweat started pouring down my face.

“Um... huh?”
