After standing and enduring two punches from the giant monster with Scale, Asakura, while rhythmically chopping the monster, pondered that this wouldn't do.
Although he didn't know if the giant monster's recovery ability had a limit, if this continued, his Magic would definitely give out first.
Perhaps he should first safely get them out of this space. How to deal with the cookie monster and completely end this space could be figured out later.
This weak thought vanished in an instant, thrown into a forgotten corner by Asakura.
He glanced behind him at Yui Yuigahama, who seemed terrified by the surreal presence of the giant monster, her face even paler as she muttered, 'This must be a dream, right?' escaping reality.
If the coordinates of this space were in a remote suburb, that would be one thing, but now it was like a giant spiderweb covering Yui Yuigahama's home. Unless the Yuigahama family moved immediately and Yui Yuigahama didn't stay at home until the move was complete, she would nine times out of ten fall back into this space.
Inside the giant monster's body, the sweet little song and indistinct advertisement, which seemed somewhat comical in the current cruel scene, played again.
Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up.
"This is a joke, right? Is this some kind of prank show?" Although her voice still sounded a bit weak, she asked excitedly.
"Yuigahama-san, are you still conscious...?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her helplessly.
Indeed, the black-haired girl had also considered if this was a prank show—because various variety shows in Japan often had quite low standards—but she quickly dismissed it herself. Clearly, with current technology, a prank show could not possibly achieve the scene before them.
"But, but..." Yui Yuigahama said, a little aggrieved, "That music just now, isn't it often played at the dessert shop near the station?"
"What?" Asakura was startled and looked at Yui Yuigahama as well.
"Haven't you two gone to that famous all-you-can-eat Western dessert shop in front of the station with friends after school?" Yui Yuigahama asked, confused.
Then, from the expressions of the two people in front of her, she realized that she was indeed a bit naive.
Asakura: What is an all-you-can-eat Western dessert shop?
Yukino Yukinoshita: What are friends?
Yui Yuigahama: ...
In the moment of distraction, Asakura suddenly realized something was wrong.
The real world wasn't an anime; there was no time stop during explanations, and enemies wouldn't be kind enough to wait for the protagonist group to finish explaining/transforming before attacking.
But the giant monster's movements really seemed to have paused, as if waiting for them to process this inexplicable clue.
Combined with the situation of this space, Asakura suddenly had a bold guess.
"...Yuigahama-san, could I ask you not to call the police later?"
"What?"
Yui Yuigahama's eyes were full of pure foolishness... or rather, confusion, but she quickly said, "Asakura-kun came specifically to save us, right? If so, it's not an exaggeration to call you our benefactor, so why would I call the police?"
So Asakura said no more, simply grabbed her shoulder, and then, before she could react, pressed his face against hers.
"Mmm? W-w-what?!" The pink-haired girl's throat let out a confused cry.
"What are you—" Yukino Yukinoshita angrily tried to pull Asakura away.
But before she could finish speaking, the surrounding world made of various desserts began to twist and deform, gradually melting, and finally, the entire space peeled away, completely revealing the real world.
It was the Yuigahama family's living room.
Even the restless giant monster seemed affected, its size shrinking by more than a circle compared to when it was in that extraordinary space.
But even so, it still charged towards Asakura, who was forcefully kissing Yui Yuigahama.
At this moment, Asakura also released the pink-haired girl, who was dizzy from the forceful kiss. A faint, almost imperceptible glistening thread stretched between their lips, making Yukino Yukinoshita's face darken.
Asakura Takuma, that guy, actually used his tongue!
Asakura nonchalantly wiped his mouth: "This should be fine now."
Without the environment of abundant sweets in the cave space, the cookie monster naturally lost its ability to recover its body by drawing on local materials.
Asakura wielded the invisible Scale Blade, dividing the giant monster, which was now no different from an ordinary adult silverback gorilla except for its size, into eighteen pieces.
Immediately, cookie crumbs and strawberry jam splattered all over the living room.
Asakura looked back at Yui Yuigahama, finding that the girl was still in a blank, dazed state, but her complexion seemed to have worsened slightly. His gaze sharpened, and he quickly found the still-wriggling piece among the eighteen corpses... or rather, cookie remnants.
After a moment of hesitation, he sighed, ultimately not continuing to divide it.
According to Asakura's conjecture, if he continued to divide the remnant that still showed signs of life until it was small enough, this monster would be completely killed.
But in that case, Yui Yuigahama would likely suffer misfortune—losing half her life would be considered extremely lucky. Considering her current physical condition, she might even die on the spot.
After a series of probes, Asakura had more or less grasped the whole situation.
In short, Yui Yuigahama was indeed not a qualified witch. Although if she continued like this and accumulated enough Magic, she might undergo a transformation, for now, the girl was just an ordinary human female with Magic. In this world, apart from being relatively fresh and tasty to certain Beyonder creatures, she wasn't particularly different from ordinary people.
The problem was that the girl had obtained the so-called 'yeast' from somewhere. From the current situation, this thing was most likely a 'golem.'
The girl's act of kneading it into dough happened to fulfill the steps for creating a Golem. Thus, the Golem absorbed the girl's Magic and took shape, and based on the girl's obsession with desserts during this period, it unfolded that Magic barrier.
The reason Asakura could only absorb about fifty units of Magic from Yui Yuigahama just now was because half of the Magic was occupied by the Golem and the barrier. The 'blood feeding' action was not enough to extract that part of the Magic from the girl's body.
So, when Asakura chose more direct mucous membrane contact and forcibly seized that part of the Magic, the Magic barrier, deprived of Magic supply, directly collapsed, and the Golem itself could only maintain minimal activity.
But at this point, the Golem had become a familiar-like existence, having a close and deep connection with Yui Yuigahama. Forcibly destroying it would cause a huge impact on the girl.
Fortunately, although Asakura only mastered two Magic spells, both of them happened to be quite useful.
So when Yui Yuigahama finally recovered from the shocking fact of being forcefully kissed, what she saw was Asakura walking towards her, holding a small Snake with cookie patterns, struggling desperately.
