Chapter 7 - Father and daughter, become the wind

Takeshi rode his motorcycle out into the prairie, and Anna rode in a standing up position instead of sitting on the tandem seat.

Anna’s hands were on Takeshi’s shoulders. And in her right hand, she was holding the wand that looked like a conductor’s baton from earlier.

“My debut in another world! Ahahahaha! I’ve finally encountered monsters!!!!”

“Idiot, sit back down! That said, aren’t you scared?”

“Hmm, not really. Because I’m the strongest mage in the world!”

Takeshi’s Harley approached the rock worm.

The rock worm seemed to have just resurfaced after digging a tunnel right under the ground. The worm was about 10 meters long and looked like a piece of earthenware pipe joined together, like something you’d find at a construction site.

Takeshi shouted at some distance from the rock worm.

“This way! Come this way—” “Fire!” “… Eh?”

A fireball the size of a volleyball shot out of Anna’s wand, and the ground exploded.

“Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire there, Fire, Fire, Fire!!!”

“Wha— Anna?!”

The ground exploded as several fireballs the size of volleyballs shooted out.

Then, a huge earthenware pipe emerged from the ground with cracks all over its body, most likely caused by the explosion.

“Pigiiiiiiiiii!!!!“

“It’s coming! Dad, run, run!”

“I know!”

Takeshi took a different route from the direction of Mahogany. The rock worm then began to chase Takeshi’s bike with gnarly movements that belied its appearance.

Takeshi was too scared to check his rear-view mirror. Just 10 meters away, an angry rock worm was chasing Takeshi, seemingly wanting to eat him.

Anna, on the other hand, was sitting on the tandem seat, her back to Takeshi’s back.

“Hey, Dad. I’ve just found out something.”

“What, what’s the matter?!”

“You know, my magic. It seems that I can make anything I want to happen.”

“What?!”

“If I say “Fire”, a clump of fires will shoot out, and if I say “Blizzard”, clusters of ice will come out. If “Thunder”, probably thunderbolts will come out.”

“Anna! What’s wrong with you?!”

“That white god is amazing—….”

Takeru bent his head to check the position of Mahogany. And then, right above Mahogany, there was a balloon-sized fluff flying around. The fluff that’s said to be a blood-sucking parasite, just like Tick1

“Anna, I’ve distanced us from Mahogany. Let’s scatter these rock worms and go that way!”

The rock worms’ movements were sluggish, perhaps it’s because they took damage from Anna’s fireball. If the rock worms were like this, they could do it. Besides, they didn’t seem to have any strength left to chase Mahogany. That’s what he thought.

“Ah, then I’ll leave them a souvenir. Explosion!”

“Eh?”

The fireball from Anna’s wand caused a huge explosion, shattering the rock worms into tiny pieces.

""

The rock worms were smashed to pieces.

Takeshi was astonished as he looked at the rearview mirror.

“Fufufu, this is the power of a cheat!”

“Ha, haha…… You’re amazing. You are just like Miyuki, doing things recklessly.”

“Really? I guess Mom was a bold person too!”

Miyuki also tried to jump on my motorbike once… Wait, this is not the time to be nostalgic about the past.

A giant cotton fluff was approaching Mahogany.

Morgan, the cow-beastman, was throwing stones to knock the fluffs down, but he couldn’t handle all of them alone, and the fluffs fell down near Mahogany.

“Oh, I’ve got a good idea!”

“What is it?”

“Dad, with full speed, go to where Mahogany is!”

“… Got it, let’s fly!!!!”

Takeshi turned the accelerator at full speed.

He pushed the clutch, shifted the gears, and pushed the Harley to its limits.

It may be imprudent. But…Takeshi couldn’t stop his face from splitting into a wide smile.

It felt good. It reminded him of the old days. He’s reminded of the times when he challenged the mountain passes with his friends during his biker gang days. As they recklessly drove at the highest velocity possible and then laughed in joy about it.

Motorbikes were nice. In this vastly different world, the wind────────

“Jumping ramp!!!!”

“——Huh?”

Their distance from Mahogany was about a hundred meters. And In front of the Harley, the earth rose up to form a jumping ramp.

Takeshi and Anna soared into the sky.

“Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!”

“Dad, shotgun, shotgun!!!!”

“Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!”

“There! Cotton fluffs, shoot them down!”

“!!!”

Just a few dozen meters away, several huge cotton fluffs were flying.

Anna’s plan, it was to fly the Harley at full throttle into the air on a jumping ramp and shoot down the cotton fluffs off with Takeshi’s shotgun.

Even the camel beast, Mahogany, looked small. And standing on its back, Morgan looked like a pea. It’s just that high.

Maybe it’s Anna’s magic, but he felt like he was floating.

“I’ll take care of the landing! Dad, show me how cool you are!!!”

“I got it!!!”

Takeshi took out the shotgun he had hooked up to his bike.

Feeling he could do it now, he spun the shotgun with one hand around the cocking lever.

Then there was a clicking sound and the bullet was loaded. This was the spincock.

“Wow, so cool!”

Despite the situation, Takeshi was happy.

Feeling like the protagonist of a story, he held up the shotgun and pulled the trigger on the cotton wool.

“Get the fuck out of here, baby!”

Boom! The shotgun shells scattered, and the fluff around them burst into flames.

This time he loaded the gun normally, pulled the trigger, and fired, repeating the process four times before running out of ammunition.

There were still some cotton fluffs left, but Anna held up her wand behind Takeshi.

“Thunder!!!”

And then, electricity burst forth from somewhere. The rest of the fluffs burst into flames.

Takeshi, who was about to load his gun, couldn’t help muttering.

“Anna, wouldn’t it have been faster if you had done that?”

“If I do that, then there’s no way for Dad to show off.”

The father and daughter, exchanging words in the air, began their slow descent, riding on their bike.

Translator’s note: And with this, I’m dropping this novel. I love it and would love to continue it, but then I realize that perhaps it’s better to let it go and let a more dedicated and better translator pick it up. I’m planning to pick up a short, 6 chapters novel, also isekai by the way, and written by the same author as this novel. See you soon~
