ed, and the bear's left hand, which had tried to intercept the attack, was torn apart.

 'Guaaaahhh!?'

 Despite crying out in pain from the wound on its left hand, the bear successfully retreated with Botan in its embrace.
Botan, held by the shapeshifting bear, gritted her teeth in frustration over her main force's injury.

 ”A mere fragment of a fragment…!! Indeed, the source is a creature from ancient times.”

 She couldn't sense any divine aura.
Even if it was a calamity youkai, it had become a subordinate of the “Mayoiga.” It was likely a low-level fragment that had separated from the sealed original…
or perhaps even another fragment that had broken off from there.
Regardless, dealing with it wouldn't be easy.

 'Kakkakkakk!!'

 Seeing Botan's frustration, the mummy king sneered and released something from his bosom.

 ”What!? A mirror…?”

 Tamaki, who had unsheathed her sword and come to Botan's side, muttered in surprise.
What the mummy had drawn from its attire was a rusted mirror with a copper frame—a small hand mirror.

 ”Don't let your guard down! There's no way it's just an ordinary mirror!!”

 ”Don't get distracted.
It's coming…!!”

 Shishimai urged the puzzled Tamaki, who was flustered, to focus on the enemy before them.
And from within the mirror itself, something emerged.


 ”What…
is that…!!?”

 The appearance of the creature that seemed to be pushed out from the depths of the mirror sent literal shivers down Tamaki's spine.

 'Clip-clop…! Clip-clop!!'

 'Clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop…!!'

 Its elastic body momentarily reminded one of Warabimochi.
The issue, however, lay in its color—a murky black like ditch water—and the tentacle-like appendages protruding from various parts, perhaps eye-like structures? Spherical red lights glowed from all over its body.
To top it off, it made eerie chirping noises, attempting to mimic bird calls.
The summoning of such a blasphemous and repugnant entity from the mirror was completed, totaling five of them.

 ”I remember reading about this in a book.
However, it's probably just a replica…”

 A mirror said to have been used by the queen of the Dark Continent to summon and control monsters.
There was no reason for the real deal to be here, as it would be treated as a special-grade curse tool if captured by the court.
The fact that only five had been summoned indicated that it was likely just a temporary container used to imprison pre-captured entities.

 'Agagagaa!!'

 'Clip-clop! Clop!'

 'Clip-clop!!'

 As the mummy pointed, the amorphous masses launched a coordinated attack, extending their tentacles to assault.

 ”Don't get close, you disgusting!!”

 Botan shouted while unleashing her talismans.
As the tentacles approached, the talismans adhered to them, causing the entities to convulse and collapse as if they were struck by a lightning bolt.


 Unfortunately, the number of talismans released was far too few compared to the number of tentacles.

 ”Uwaa!? Ghhh!!?”

 Tamaki swiftly severed the approaching tentacles of the viscous entity.
One after another, she cut them off as they extended towards her.
Fortunately, they moved slower than the Mayoiga's vines, which worked in her favor.

 However, Tamaki was unaware of the nature of the amorphous entity, unlike the vines.
Its ability to alter its form like a liquid was something she couldn't foresee.

 ”Hyaa!!?”

 In an instant, the tentacle that had been stretching from the gap between bricks merged together to form a thick vine, entangling Tamaki's white leg.
The cold and sticky sensation caused her to let out an involuntary yelp.

 ”Tamaki!? Damn it, these things are surprisingly tough…!!?”

 Shishimai swung her naginata at the reddish-black thick tentacle, attempting to free Tamaki.
With a squelching sound, the blade plunged into the tentacle, reaching halfway inside.
But that was all it did.
The tentacle spewed out a poisonous liquid and clung tightly to the naginata, as if trying not to let it escape.

 ”It won't come out…!? Ugh!!? What are you touching me with!?”

 Shishimai struggled desperately to pull her naginata out, but other tentacles quickly closed in from behind.
They coiled around her legs, sides, and even slipped beneath her sleeves.
Shishimai shivered at the eerie sensation but couldn't break free.

 ”Shishimai-san!? Uwah…hyaaah…!?”

 Tamaki, witnessing Shishimai's capture in shock, struggled even harder, but her efforts were in vain.
The sticky monsters played with Tamaki's entire body using their extended tentacles, subjecting various parts of her body with rough and delicate stimulation.

 ”No…
haaah…nngh!? Stop it!!”
