Unaware of the Shark’s behavior, who was almost jumping in joy at her new find.

 

Corin was more focused on the fact she might have to charge in an attempt to slice the lion monster in half.

 

Trying to gather her courage, she would make sure not to mess anything up… At least she would try…. But what if she did-

 

‘ Ugh…. But everyone is counting on me! I-I…’ - Eyes spinning, besides missing Ellen's shenanigans, she also missed Rina and Lycaon getting closer, leaving the lion to suffer a bit more in the electric field.

 

“ We have less than fifteen more seconds and the sphere will disappear. I made sure to focus on his muscles, so they are very likely to be way more loosened now. This should be the perfect cue for our dear, Shy Saw~ “

 

Understanding the struggle the short maid was through, Rina floated over to her, giving a reassuring pat on the small one’s head. - “ Don't worry, Corin, I'm sure you'll do just fine. “ 

 

One of Rina’s little Bangboos floats in front of Corin's face, getting her attention. It seems to copy Rina's body movement, and expresses itself out loud.- “ I'm sure you'll kick its ass like no one! ” 

 

Bringing a tick mark to the floating maid’s face, she slowly shakes her head at the little one, discerning her inner feelings. However, her eyes wander somewhere else.

 

Her electric sphere was about to wear out.

 

“ Now Corin, please do us a favor. I'm sure this feat alone will improve your rank drastically.“ - Also encouraging the maid, Lycaon gives her a reassuring pat on the back.

 

Taking a few steps ahead, the young maid tightly held onto her weapon. After taking a deep breath, she took on a stance, preparing to set off on a sprint.

 

Finally building up enough confidence from everyone hyping her up…. Well… Almost everyone, Ellen had been more in love with that Pocky of hers….

 

But that didn't mean she wasn't also hyping up Corin! She hoped….

 

With no further qualms, the moment the electric sphere exploded & dispersed itself, Corin dashed out. Leaving her colleagues to watch as her saw roared to life.

 

Shouting all the way through, when she finally reached in front of the lion monster, her eyes bulged. The beast's pupils had fully returned and now stared menacingly at small Corin, a subtle grin plastered on his lips.

 

Besides his arm, Ellen had managed to cut off while it was frozen…

 

He appeared to be completely fine.

 

‘ H-H-He’s all h-healed up again?!?!?? ‘ - Stopping in her tracks right in front of her supposed enemy as he moved his neck around, letting out various bone-cracking noises.

 

This action was an immediate trigger for all other members of Victorian Housekeeping to quickly step forward to help Corin, Lycaon moved, her legs warming up. Rina already started to gather another ball of electricity as Ellen stepped up.

 

Snapping the last Pocky in her sharp teeth, Ellen threw her scissors perfectly aimed to be in front of Lycaon who was dashing forward at full speeds ahead of them.

 

Rina who at the moment was by Ellen's side used her electricity on the scissors ready to add in its rate of acceleration. 

 

Jumping up in a leap, Lycaon twisted her body sideways before her right leg’s propellers activated at full strength, her teeth snarling, feeling the propellers almost overheating with how much she was exerting herself. - “ CORIN! GET DOWN!!!! ”

 

* BAM!! * - Sparks from metal hitting metal exploded from the wolf’s cybernetic leg hitting scissors, the small maid yelped and ducked down while holding her head, her weapon falling to the floor.

 

With the scissors crackling with bolts of electricity, it exploded in a furious rush toward the lion. In the blink of an eye, it struck his chest. 

 

Thundering bolts of electricity exploded upon impact, all coming to a stop as a furred hand grabbed the scissors and threw it aside before flexing the only arm he had now.

 

Following suit was a crackling laughter, mocking the worried heroes. After stopping his laughter phase, the monster pointed his index at them. - “ You… Do you really think a King would be defeated… SO EASI- * BOOOOOOM!!!!! * “ 

 

Having his mouth shut before being able to finish, an extremely heavy and fast yellow blur crashed on top of the monster at speeds even higher than what scissors had achieved a few seconds ago.

 

A giant curtain of dust and flying debris completely enveloped the area, leaving everyone to cover their eyes.

 

The poor Corin who was close to the impact had closed her eyes when Lycaon shouted for her to crouch and now after hearing the loud rumble, she finally looked up….. 

 

She was met with the wolf woman herself staring down, surprised to see the small maid sitting close to being between her legs.

 

Confused, Corin’s head snapped around, seeing both Rina and Ellen by her sides, also staring at her in awe.

 

Before anyone could ask what had happened or how Corin had seemingly been teleported there, the heavy dust finally gave way to what had crashed on the Beast King.

 

The absurdity of it was obvious, a yellow road roller. Completely destroyed given the insane speeds it had reached when it smashed into the ground. Under, all that could be seen was a puddle of blood seeping around the wrecked parts.

 

Soon, their gaze glimpsed at another silhouette inside the more permeable dust. At the same moment, every single one of them jumped back into a fighting stance, except for one.

 

Ellen Joe. Her eyes were wide open, she knew who exactly this silhouette belonged to. How would she not? She hadn't seen any other person using such a weird dress besides that woman.

 

In a strangely lively motion, she pointed a finger towards the one inside the dust, seemingly feeling pretty angry at something the figure had done to her before.

 

“ YOU!!!! “ - Shouting as if familiar with the other party, her colleagues gave Ellen a strange look, not used to seeing the shark so worked up.

 

Dust now clear, the white frilly dress and blonde hair waves floated ever so slightly as the mischievous youkai sat by one of the road roller’s remains.

 

Her umbrella stopped the morning sun from hitting her back, while the fan she held was lowered to reveal a teasing grin.

 

“ Oh my. Seems that even after enjoying my little gift, you're still quite restless, Sharky~”
