Leo wanted to use magic

---

“But Sebastian, even if you haven’t seen it, the other monsters were obeying it, yes? Then why is the monster in the sky alone?”
“I was wondering about that as well. However, since there are no other places with monster birds, I thought… Well, it is just a theory.”
“Hmm…it has been flying up there for some time. And yet we have seen nothing else.”
“Indeed. Leo, what should we do?”
“Wuff? Wuff-wuff. Grau!”

I asked Leo, since she had been looking up at the sky the whole time.

“You…can do that?”
“Wuff-wuff!”
“I see.. But, that could just provoke it, right?”
“Wuff! Wuff-wuff. Grau.”
“Hmm. Well, from what I can see of the parent fenrirs, you are probably right. But…”

What Leo was saying was simple.
If we were curious, we could just knock it out of the air and talk to it. Ask why it was flying over this area.
If it was a troll or orc, then I would just leave it to Leo. However, this was a flying monster.
No matter how strong Leo was, I had my doubts if she could reach it.

But Leo said it could be knocked out easily with magic.
Magic, huh… Sherry had used magic that could easily freeze orcs. And Leo was a Silver Fenrir, so perhaps she could do it.
That being said, it had not done anything yet. So maybe it was safer to do nothing. But Leo said it was not a dangerous monster, so it didn’t matter.

Hmm… It would definitely be a quick solution… What should we do?
As I could not decide myself, I told the others about what Leo had said.

“Hmm… Indeed, they would not be a threat if Leo is here. I doubt anything is more dangerous than Leo…”
“Yes. And with it flying up there, who knows when it might attack? But if it is intelligent enough to order around other monsters, then it might be smart enough to stay away from Leo… But we cannot be sure.”
“I agree. While we don’t know the full extent of it, we know that Leo is strong. And so we should just leave it to her.”

Everyone else seemed rather enthusiastic about it.
As for Tilura and Liza, they were looking on with hopeful expressions. They wanted to see Leo’s magic.
…But Sherry and the two fenrirs had moved away. Their tails went between their legs, and they pressed into each other and shook. How scared of Leo were they?

“Wuff?”
“Hah. Well, everyone wants you to do it, Leo. …And you seem like you really want to use magic?”
“Wuff!”

Leo’s eyes seemed so happy, which told me that she wanted to do it.
She always wanted to use magic whenever there was an opportunity. And right now, she was wagging her tail.

“Fine. However, don’t do anything that can hurt the rest of us, okay? Also, it is likely intelligent, so don’t use anything too powerful.”
“Wuff!”

The powerful fenrirs were scared, and so I had a feeling that if Leo went all out, she would affect the people around her as well.
And so while I have my permission, I told Leo to not go too far.
After all, if the monster was intelligent, then perhaps we could talk to it.

“Uhh, I think we should move away, just in case. You too, Liza.”
“Okay!”
“Oomph! There, there… You too, Mr. Ekenhart.”
“Mmm, very well.”
“While I have seen Silver Fenrir magic before, this will be the first time I see serious attack magic.”
“Yes. I wonder what it will be?”
“Kyu…kyuu…”
“Grau…”
“Gau…”

While Leo would likely be considerate of us, I still thought that it would be best to move away.
And so I called Liza, and caught her after she jumped off of Leo’s back.
The others were clearly very excited to see Leo’s magic… Especially Sebastian and Ms. Claire.
In any case, we moved away a few meters, close to where the fenrirs were waiting.

Sherry and her parents were still shaking.
…The humans and beastkin were excited, but not the fenrirs.
I suppose they knew something instinctively. Perhaps it was a fear towards Silver Fenrirs…

Leo’s powerful magic hit it

---

“Alright, everyone is out of the way. You can do it now, Leo!”
“Wou! Wouuuu…grau!”
“Kyau!”
“Woah!
“How bright!”

Once everyone had moved away, I gave Leo the signal.
She barked in reply, then growled as if charging up her power. And then her fur seemed to shine for a few seconds, and then with a great sound, a beam of light shot up towards the sky.
It was so bright that it blinded us for a second.
Was it like a more powerful version of the light magic that I used…?

Perhaps she meant the flash of light to blind the monster, so it would fall out of the sky.
However, I was wrong.
The light seemed to have shot out from between Leo’s eyes.
And it went towards the monster in a straight line. There was a loud crackle and a flash.

“Is that…lightning magic…?”
“How powerful… To unleash something so bright and so fast… I doubt a human could use such magic.”
“Indeed. It was surprising when it was unleashed, but the speed and that sound and flash. It is proof of how powerful it is.”
“Silver Fenrirs… No, good Leo’s magic…how amazing. It is definitely something worth witnessing.”
“Mama, that was amazing!”
“Quite, brilliant, good Leo!”
“Kuuunn…”

While everyone was impressed by Leo, and overjoyed, the fenrirs whimpered as if scared.

“Uh…it is going to fall, isn’t it…?”
“It seems like it…”

After being hit by Leo’s lightning, the bird monster stopped in the air for a second, and then started to dive towards the ground, head first.

“Uh, Leo? Wouldn’t it be dangerous if it fell down like that?”
“Wuff. Wou!”
“Grau!? Gau-wou!”
“Gauuu!”
“Kyuu…”

I asked Leo from a distance, and then Leo nodded and then started barking at the parent fenrirs.
The father fenrir…Fen, looked surprised for a moment.
‘Uh, us!?’ He seemed to say. But then they quickly got up and rushed to the spot where the monster was sure to land.
While Riruru went too, Sherry stayed on the spot and whimpered.

So, she was leaving the monster to the fenrirs. But what were they going to do?
I wondered, but all we humans could do was watch.
A large monster was plummeting from a great height. It would be dangerous if we tried to do something.

“Grau!”
“Gaau!”
“Oh?”

I wasn’t sure if it was unconscious, or if Leo’s magic was so strong that it could not move, as it was perfectly still while falling.
As for where it would land…it seemed to be right on the tents that we slept in, as that was where the fenrirs were running.
When they were close to the tents, the fenrirs jumped high into the air.

And like that, they crashed into the bird monster that was falling…
The fenrirs were knocked back from the impact and landed on the ground.
As for the monster…

“Uhh… Isn’t that just worse than free fall?”
“Wuff?”

It bounced away after being rammed by the fenrirs from the side. And then it was thrown towards the ground with great force.
Still, it was not a straight downwards fall, so it slid over the ground and stopped close to the forest without making a sound.

As for Leo…she had been concerned about the tent. But perhaps she had expected the fenrirs to save the tent in a more gentle way.
Still, I could not blame them either.

“…Wuff. Wuff-wuff?”
“Uh, yes. Indeed. Let’s go.”
“Mr. Takumi. Can I go too?”
“It should be fine, since Leo is here. I will go too, since I am interested.”
“Me too!”

As Leo asked if we should go see the monster, I nodded and agreed that we should.
And then Mr. Ekenhart, Sebastian, and the others came as well.
Eventually, it was everyone nearby… but the fenrirs were here, as were Phillip and Nicholas, so we should be safe.
As for Ms. Anne, she had been so shocked by Leo’s magic that she was covering her eyes.

I suppose it was too bright for her, as she had looked at it directly… In any case, I would leave her in Ms. Lyra’s care.
Speaking of Ms. Lyra, she was currently comforting Sherry, who was scared and away from her parents.
