This is Satou. When he was a child, he was often scolded by his parents.

He would break their rules by playing dangerously in the river, building secret bases in the mountains, not cleaning his room, and even not taking baths promptly—all reasons for getting reprimanded.

Now, having scolded far more than he has been scolded, looking back on those days, he wonders how he could have been so reckless.

It’s easy to forget, but thanks to the patience of his parents and teachers who kept scolding him back then, he is who he is today.

"Ugh, the country might collapse even before the tidal wave."

After teleporting to the Magic Kingdom Laragi via unit deployment, he checked the radar’s blips and was left speechless.

There were more than a dozen level 30 to 50 Krakens ashore, and a colossal level 92 named unique monster, the "Sea King," covered half the island.

Moreover, this Sea King was apparently a subordinate of the dog-headed Demon King.

They needed to eliminate them quickly—but wait?

For some reason, Pochi’s marker was in the Weasel Empire.

Since there weren’t any serious threats left around Seryu City, they had been left alone, but what on earth had caused Pochi to move to such a place...?

He guessed Pochi had fallen into a third party's trap, but more astonishing was that besides himself and Arisa, someone else could send Pochi that far.

"Anyway, let’s pull them back with unit deployment."

Opening the map, he checked the area around Pochi.

Surprisingly, not only Pochi and the white dragon Ryuryu were there, but also Lady Ringlande, Sera's older sister, and Meiko, the hero of the Saga Empire.

A bit further away, a large airship carrying Princess Merryest seemed to have landed.

Since the Demon King was nearby, Pochi was probably sent as reinforcements for hero Meiko and Lady Ringlande.

Judging by the situation, God Parion seemed the most suspicious.

Just as he was about to check the situation in detail using spatial magic, the roof of the Echigoya Trading Company was blown off.

"We have to deal with this quickly too."

His "Thread Sync" skill was not a multi-brain multitasking ability but rather a multithread that simply divided his thinking—a master of multitasking at best—so he couldn’t handle heavy tasks like map searches and advanced magic simultaneously.

“Master! It seems Pochi is somewhere other than Seryu City!”

At that moment, an infinite distance communication from Arisa arrived.

Taking it as a godsend, he relayed the situation to Arisa.

Meanwhile, he transformed into hero Nameless and soared into the sky.

Locking on to the Krakens within visual range using the advanced logic arts spell "Multiple Spear Dance," he noticed processing was slightly slower than usual.

“Open a gate near Pochi and ask Liza and Tama to retrieve them!”

“Okay, got it!”

Arisa promptly agreed to his instructions.

Feeling uneasy at her overly enthusiastic tone, he gave her a warning.

“Arisa, I’m sure you know this, but—”

“Of course! No worries, leave it to me.”

During this, the giant sea spear from the Sea King flew toward him, so he shattered it with "Magic Disruption."

—Ugh.

The destroyed sea spear disintegrated into massive amounts of seawater pouring down to the ground.

Frantically, he spread out "Magic Hand" to store the seawater into the storage.

By the time he finished, his communication with Arisa was cut off.

Though a little worried, he decided to trust Arisa.

He unleashed the locked-on "Multiple Spear Dance."

With this, all enemies except the Sea King were wiped out.

The last Sea King had two girls—one with brown skin and one pale-skinned—clinging to its forehead, so he couldn’t eliminate it until freeing them.

The neighboring country was under attack by a level 82 monster called the "Flame King," while islands along the sugar route were ravaged by level 87 "Rock Birds" known as the "Sky King."

Like the Sea King below, these Flame King and Sky King were also subordinates of the dog-headed Demon King.
