[Third Person’s Perspective]

"Is there someone bullying the lower ranks?"

Mika-mama heard the story from the pampered monster.

The gentle gaze instantly transforms into something terrifying.

"I won't forgive anyone who hurts children, alright?"

At the same time, a dark wave of energy seeped out from behind.

It's the exact opposite of healing vibes.

It is a color stained with "anger."

[Wow!?]

[What the!?]

[Babou!? (Mamaa!?)]

[If they make Mama angry, it's scary!]

[She's the one they absolutely shouldn't make angry!]

Mika-mama stood up and snapped her fingers.

Then, monsters appeared from the surroundings.

Everything is "healed and done."

"I'm going to tell that guy. What are you going to do to my kid?"

"""Grrr!"""（Mama!）

[Mama's captives are coming out in droves, lol.]

[Mama is going to complain, lol.]

[She's always going to be Mama, right? lol]

[If her child gets bullied.]

[Just like a mother.]

[Mama is so reliable ; ; ]

Mika-mama straddles the demon and urges it forward.

"Come on, Kanata-chan and the others, get on!"

"""Babou!"""

Kanata and the others immediately headed to the lower levels.

After a while, the lower level.

"That guy!"

Kanata gasps as he regains his composure.

What was there was a "demon."

"Hyahyahya! I'll kill everyone before we even get to the surface!"

"""Gugyaa...!"""

The one who bullies is probably this guy.

Are they seeking a fight? It seems like Mika-mama is going around killing the monsters she spoiled one by one.

"After all, the demon wasn't alone."

"Huh? Wh-what the hell...!"

The demon also notices Kanata and the others.

Kanata, who defeated their leader, the Demon King, probably holds a grudge against them.

The demon changes the target to Kanata.

"This is the hundredth time we've met! This time, I'll definitely… Ahh!?"

"...Ah."

However, the demon was enveloped in a black wave in the air.

Tracing the source of the wave leads to Mika-mama.

That fist is trembling with rage.

"Did he try to lay his hands on Kanata-chan after my child...?"

"!?!"

"You'd like to see the parents' faces...?"

"H-hik!?"

This is another form of motherhood.

Mika-mama was exuding a dark aura as she suddenly recalled something.

(I won't forgive anyone who hurts Kanata-chan.)

The days with Kanata in another world─.

★─★─★

In another world, on a certain day.

(Sobbing...)

Earth was crying.

To be precise, the "soul" residing in this land was crying.

(I guess I'll perish like this...)

This is a place where humans and demons fought and turned into a scorched wasteland.

Not to mention buildings, there isn't even a single tree in sight.

It's a forsaken land.

In such a place, a single flower is gently placed.

"Here."

(...Huh?)

Then, she heard the conversation between the boy with the flowers and his companions.

"Master, what on earth is this?"

"In my hometown, there's a belief in 'The Eight Million Gods'. I thought maybe the land itself has a soul."

The boy waters the flowers, he added.

"If it had a soul, it would look kind of lonely, right?"

"I see. Then let's brighten things up with Kokone and the others."

"Oh, that's the idea!"

Then, a boy named Kanata visited this place every day.

On rainy days and windy days.

As if speaking to this land.

"Oh, the flowers are increasing."

"Today, I met a Vermilion Bird. She's hot, but she seems like a good person."

"A reliable vampire has joined us. She's scary, though."

Was it just a whim, or was she getting drunk on the idea of being "spiritual and cool"?

Kanata's thoughts are uncertain, but these days have given the earth vitality.

As time passed, the earth began to breathe again.

Until the flowers bloom all over and the rich nature is revived.

Truly, it can be called "Mother Earth."

Then, Earth thinks.

(I want to thank the boy. And I also really want to spoil him!!)

The feelings that are the foundation of it all.

(That innocent face, those kind traits, and even the slightly painful parts! Ah, I just can't help but want to spoil him!)

That overwhelming feeling took shape and manifested.

"I finally got to see you."

"Whoa!?"

The power of Mother Earth was concentrated and manifested as a "spirit."

It is the moment of Mika's birth.

"I am the embodiment of 'Mother Earth.' In other words, I am Mama."

"I don't really understand what you're saying."

"Nice to meet you, Kanata-chan!"

"Then who the heck are you?!"

Kanata was taken aback by Mika's sudden appearance.

─However, just a few seconds later.

"Let's go on an adventure together from now on."

"Mamaa." (It's okay)

Kanata fell without a care.

It is the moment of Mika-mama's birth.

Thus, Mika-mama joined the party and later became Kanata's familiar.

And then, after Kanata was executed.

"Kanata-chan, wait for me."

Mika-mama was furious about the execution as she listened to Kokone and the others.

Following that, Elvi headed to the country where the revolution had taken place.

The country has already restored the honor of Hero Kanata and is moving in a positive direction.

"Mika-sama, this way, please."

"Thank you."

Mika-mama, the hero's familiar, also reached the summoning circuit.

All that's left is to imbue it with the magical power to activate the summoning.

The method Mika-mama resorted to was asking for a favor.

"The [Wave of Babumi]."

"""...!"""

Spreading a wave that regresses everything to infancy, involving the nation.

The trend of regression to childhood spread like a wave, and temporarily, the entire nation reverted to infancy.

So, Mika-mama calls out.

"Could you help Mama just a little bit?"

"""Babou!""" (Sure!)

Mikakama received a little bit of magical power from every citizen in the country.

Also, combine the manifested earth's magical power.

That alone gathered an overwhelming amount of magical power.

"Mama will come to pick you up, Kanata-chan."

And so, Mika-mama crossed the world.

★─★─★

Recalling the events of another world, Mika-mama's feelings deepen.

(I will never lose Kanata-chan again...!)

If she were to name Mika-mama's tribe, it would be "Mother Earth."

Due to an unusual "desire to pamper," they are the only race manifested by Mother Earth.

And sometimes, nature shows its "fangs."

"[Wave of Anger]."

"...Ugh!?"

It's a dark wave of energy.

It is another aspect of Mika-mama's motherhood that bares its fangs at those who harm her child.

Those who are enveloped by this will face nature's judgment.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

For hundreds of years, they have been engulfed by storms in the waves, exposed to heavy rain, and scorched by the sun until they dry up.

To be precise, it inflicts an equivalent amount of mental damage.

"Gah... I'm so sorry..."

The demon was freed from the black wave as they lay on the ground like a broken man.

[Are you going to kill them mentally?!]

[That's way too scary, lol.]

[This is the real deal, Mama (；ﾟДﾟ)]

[Too scary to cry!]

[You shouldn't make Mama angry...]

[It was a good lesson.]

[I want to be healed because I will honestly obey. ; ; ]

Even the three familiars are taken aback by that.

("Mama is scary...")

In terms of combat power, the three of them would probably win.

Even so, Mika-mama is someone they never want to make an enemy of.

Then, Kanata lifted the demon.

"Weren't you just talking about something on the surface? What was that about?"

"Do it... kill me..."

"Has your mind broken? Mika-mama."

"Eh?!"

To the demon who couldn't respond, Mika-mama used the [Wave of Babumi].

Then, the newly born demon started talking fluently.

"Majin-chan, what's going on the surface?"

"Yeah, um..."

Due to regression to infancy, the sense of vigilance disappeared.

[Can she really control both the disabled and infants at will!?]

[This is quite brutal...]

[Ultimate carrot and stick, huh? lol]

[Just as I thought, it's a horror movie, lol.]

[This isn't just a matter of torture, it's a big deal, lol.]

[Mama was a psychopath too ; ; ]

[Psychic abilities are scary...]

However, what she said was shocking.

"Their big brother is going to the surface with other monsters!"

"""...!?"""

Even Kanata and the others exchanged glances at this.

"Wha-what, the surface!?"

"But, Master, the monsters shouldn't be able to come to the surface!"

"Ah, I should have verified it."

For monsters, the modern atmosphere seems to be toxic.

The other day, when Elvi forcibly tried to bring out the monster, it turned to ash and disappeared just like during the subjugation.

Then, they received an answer from the demon.

"Apparently, when they become humanoid, they develop resistance."

"""....!"""

That's where everything falls into place.

Even though they are from the same other world, the familiars were able to live on the surface because they are humanoid.

Then the demon is the same, and it's predictable.

(With my skill... could it be possible...?)

And so, perhaps as death approached, the demon finally regained its sanity.

"Heh, isn't it too late now?"

"What did you say?"

"That person has already started moving."

The demon smirked.

★

At the same time, on the ground.

─Graaaaaaaaaaa!!

"""...!?"""

A large number of monsters overflowed from near the entrance of the dungeon.

Monsters that should originally not be able to live on the surface.

From three different places at the same time.

"""Grrrrrrrrr!!"""

"""Gyaaaaaaaahhh!!"""

If monsters appear on the surface, ordinary people will also get caught up in it.

It didn't take even a second for people to start making a fuss.

And somewhere was lurking, a solitary demon.

"Fuhahaha, as expected of Hero Kanata's skills! To think it would go this smoothly!"

They were one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the "Demon King's Army from Another World."

They must be setting a trap.

As a result, the monsters began their invasion of the surface.

"Shall I begin? The invasion of this world."

★

Once again, Kanata and the others' location.

"W-What did you just say...!?"

An emergency alert was scrolling across Kanata's streaming screen.

Just now, it is said that a monster has appeared on the surface.

In this unprecedented situation, the comment section has also become intense.

[Wait, is this real?]

[Isn't it fake or something?]

[No, it's real! It's actually happening!]

[Something outrageous is happening on another stream!]

[Seriously, this is bad!]

[Why are monsters coming to the surface!?]

[No way, that's near my family's house!]

[Shouldn't they stop this before it gets bad!?]

Near the entrance of the dungeon, there are related facilities lined up, and there will likely be explorers.

Still, there is no guarantee that everything can be handled.

It's a situation more than enough for people to be terrified.

Then, the dying demon leaves behind some words.

"It looks like it's started!"

"You, what the hell is going on here!"

"Who knows? From now on, I'll be watching from hell. To see Galdur-sama's brave figure."

And so, the demon vanished smoothly.

"Ka, Kanata-chan...!"

"Ah, of course."

Facing Kanata, he stands up smoothly.

"In modern times, I won't let them do as they please."

For the pride of the modern Demon King.
