'''' !!! ''''

Instantly, my fiancés and the two former Saints turn surprised, while the rest seem confused.

''Are you really doing it?'' Bald Saint asks me with a serious expression.

''Yes.''

''Are you sure? It could be quite dangerous, poking those lizards like that.'' Fox Saint adds.

''Look at me in the eyes.'' I turn to look at her. ''Do I look like I'm joking?''

'''' ... ''''

Don't worry, I have a plan.

In the first place, I'm really tired of this. I have a bad habit of trying to solve everything in the most logical and... How do I say it, 'normal' manner? Maybe the common sense from Earth is still somewhere within me. I don't know.

Basically, I'm not crazy enough.

But that changes now. I don't give a fuck about anything anymore. There are too many questions without answers, and I can probably get those answers by nuking them all. That's it.

Hah... I've wasted too much bullets and effort. I demand a good triple pen tonight.

''Hey, you.'' I pick up the dragon girl and bring her closer to me. ''Are you 100% sure that you're just receiving orders?''

''Y-Yes! I can even swear my soul...''

''...Then do as I say.''

----------------------------------------

''Is here enough?'' Grandpa asks.

''Maybe a bit higher.'' I reply.

''We're above the clouds already though.''

''It's fine, probably.''

Twenty minutes after the interrogation session, Grandpa, Bald Saint and I are in the sky, preparing to nuke the hell out of the red dragon's territory. There were a few things I did to make sure that this session would succeed.

Firstly, I had Fox Saint put a monitor spell on that dragon kid, which means if she says anything wrong, we can punish her immediately. We then sent her back to her territory, both as a way to accurately determine where we needed to shoot and to let her get the supposedly 'innocent' dragons out by pretending that they'd go support the attack. Of course, they will be forced to be temporarily restrained once they get out.

Secondly, I had Santa Claus with me here because there is a barrier surrounding their territory, supposedly, so he'll be the one breaking that.

And finally, to take care of the hostile ones who will inevitably get out, my fiancés with the Gatling gun and Fox Saint is down there.

''Here is alright.'' I speak up.

''...''

Up here, I see nothing but clouds and the beautiful setting sun that is dyeing the sky orange. A dreamy scene, but it'll change very soon.

Right on time, my phone rings.

♪ You only have one shot, do not miss your chance to blow ♪

''How's it?'' I pick up the call.

[Ready. The dragons are all sitting obediently in front of us. It's a lot.]

''That's good. Tell me where I can shoot.'' I use a simple wind spell to clear away a chunk of cloud below us, revealing the whole range in its majesty.

Sitting on the sides of the giant snow mountains, beyond the faint but strong barrier are numerous buildings, big and small.

They really do live in normal cities, huh. And the colors of the roofs... Can't be more obvious than this.

To begin with, the number of dragons used to be small before. They lived in huge caves inside mountains, hoarding gold and jewelry, standard stuff. But now, they're mostly living in humanoid forms, building cities and such.

There are two main reasons for this, one, their number is worldly higher right now, two, they're addicted to sex.

Yeah, I'm not kidding. Because of the futa potion developed here, these dragons have built an army of horny futas, ready to reproduce anytime and anywhere. That's the reason for the increase in number as well.

I'd be throwing myself in here if I didn't have my fiancés, but I'm getting distracted.

[Shoot at the buildings with red roofs, it's simple.]

''Yeah, I thought so. Thanks, Liana.'' Feeling a bit mischievous all of a sudden, I create a sound barrier around me for a brief second. ''I'll make sure to suck you off real good tonight.'' I whisper.

[Heh, now I feel motivated, you-]

[Miss Saint! Please don't shoot the blue buildings! You can shoot the red ones however you want, even Courage's house, but not the-]

[Miracle?! You t-traitor...!]

Oh, Miracle is there as well? And those two were friends?

[Tch, annoying kids, go away.]

You're only 22, Liana.

''Well, either way, thanks a lot.'' I let out a rather refreshing chuckle. ''I'll begin now.'' I end the call and turn to Bald Saint, signaling him to do his job.

''Let's me see.'' He lets out a sigh and squints his eyes to gauge the barrier. ''The barrier protecting the red ones, right?''

''Yeah, only that one.''

After just a few seconds, he raises his hand and mana begins to swirl in his hand, drawing from his gems. The mana orb then turns bigger and bigger, forming the shape of a giant spear of at least 30 meters. It goes poof, and then the whole spear catches fire, burning intensely.

BOOM

With a single gesture from him, the spear launches itself toward the barrier like a meteor, leaving behind dense red trails.

''Wow~''

Not soon after that, they collide. Well, not really 'collide', but the barrier is destroyed instantly. It's not even close.

clack

skrrt

I immediately pull out the Hecate and insert the magazine with 7 Gungnirs in, bolt it, and aim downward. Through the scope, I see quite a few dragons in humanoid forms assembled in one place, a plaza? The estimated number is more than a hundred, I guess that's the main force.

''Phew...''

Well, let's choose the areas with fewer dragons. I don't want to do a genocide just yet. Three is probably enough for a region this size.

BOOM

skrrt

BOOM

skrrt

BOOM

skrrt

Hah, they look confused. Well, here goes your homes, idiots.

snap

Instantly, three blinding flashes of light can be seen from three different corners of the red-roofed city. And then, the air itself rumbles.

The blue explosions shake the heaven and earth, fire engulfing the whole region indiscriminately, and giant mushroom clouds emerge. They merge into one humongous cloud, spurting up the sky like smoke from a volcano eruption. In that place, there are no more beautiful snow mountains, only their remains left behind, I'm sure.

''Seeing it for real is surely different, huh...'' I hear Grandpa chuckle helplessly.

Now we just need to wait for this mushroom to disappear. It's fortunate that I was able to gauge the height of the mushroom clouds, else we would have been eaten by them.

'''' ... ''''

Well, this is done, I suppose.

ROARRRR

Right when I think about that, a low but loud roar can be heard all the way up here. To my surprise, something begins to grow inside the mushroom, glowing a faint red.

BOOM

A fire bursts. My blue mushroom cloud is instantly dispersed, revealing the biggest dragon I've ever seen. It has large and thick red scales with golden rims, two pairs of straight, golden horns, and a pair of intense red eyes glaring at me.

''Pfft- Hahahahah...!'' I burst out laughing.

So you want to eat my nukes directly, huh?
