“Hahaha! It exploded, it exploded! I knew you elemental Bunnies were nothing but trouble!”
The one saying this was Ailuo, descending slowly from above with his arms folded across his chest.
As a Dragon Bunny, he was the most competitive Bunny in this battle over the cheese…
Then, in the very next moment, a fist slammed straight into his face!
“You’re a troublemaking Bunny too!”
The punch even carried a large handful of explosive scales with it.
The Dragon Bunny spun through the air and was instantly swallowed by the explosions triggered by those scales.
Then, with a sharp *clang*, a transparent sphere burst out through the smoke and formed a shield.
The Dragon Bunny had actually raised a barrier!
He even emerged directly from the smoke, though his cheek was still swollen.
“Hmph! So what if I am? You’ve already taken down all the other elemental Bunnies! How much of a chance do you think you have against me in a one-on-one fight?”
The Dragon Bunny was incredibly arrogant.
As he spoke, his tail began swishing from side to side.
Behind Yalu, who stood facing him, flames suddenly appeared out of thin air.
*Whoosh!*
The spinning flames rose behind her and formed a tail. It resembled a dragon’s tail, though it wasn’t nearly as thick.
It was a tail made entirely of fire.
As it transformed, scales like red-hot metal surfaced across her body.
“Ah, this Bunny is an elemental Bunny… And so is that one.”
At some point, Suger had arrived.
She was crouching beside Watt, who was lying on the ground.
She pulled a card from her belt and pressed it against Watt’s body.
*Swish!*
An image suddenly appeared on the card.
It depicted a stone sphere with a Bunny face making an OWO expression.
After finishing, Suger walked over to another fallen elemental Bunny, Kuchi, and began doing the same thing.
Of course, Yalu and Ailuo had both noticed.
But neither of them cared.
“Oh? You’re revealing your elemental true form to fight me? I won’t deny that your elemental true form is impressive!”
The Dragon Bunny smiled.
Then he pointed viciously at the brown-paper-wrapped package sealed inside a block of ice not far behind Yalu.
“But if you do that, won’t that thing melt soon? Even if everything inside melts completely, would that really be all right—”
“Ah…”
Yalu froze for a moment.
Without realizing it, she extinguished the burning scales covering her body.
And right then—
“There’s an opening! Gahahaha!”
Ailuo charged forward with a sinister grin.
He thrust both arms under Yalu’s armpits and wrapped them around her body from the front.
Then he suddenly heaved her backward!
Yalu cried out in alarm.
“No!”
Her body burst into flames again with a *boom*.
The lethal fire burned fiercely across the Dragon Bunny’s body.
Yet the Dragon Bunny endured it with his own scales.
He sucked in a sharp breath from the pain, but still cackled and shouted,
“Hahahaha! It’s useless, useless! I’m a Bunny with a dragon’s nature, after all! I’ve got some resistance to flames!”
With another *boom*, the Dragon Bunny performed a German suplex!
He slammed Yalu, whom he had trapped in his arms, violently into the ground behind him.
Under the astonished gaze of the armored Bunny Suger, the Bunny named Yalu—
*Boom!*
—exploded!
That’s right.
The explosion spread outward as a mass of blazing flames!
“You knew I could turn into an elemental body, yet you still thought physical attacks would work on me!”
The flames exploded into the air and spun around.
They quickly condensed into the shape of a fiery Bunny.
With her arms folded across her chest, she looked like some kind of Super Saiyan.
She spoke with immense pride.
But Yalu’s smugness didn’t last long.
“Then does my current attack count as a physical attack?”
A violent current of seawater suddenly burst from the ground!
It slammed directly into the floating Yalu and sent her flying.
Then the current transformed into a water dragon and pinned her against the earth.
It even crushed down on the ground, gradually pressing a crater into it.
Yes, a small lake instantly took shape before the Bunnies’ eyes!
As for the fire elemental Bunny…
She had reverted to her physical body and now lay in the pool like a drowned corpse.
“Hmph. I knew that even you were afraid of water!”
A Bunny appeared while riding a current of seawater that had surged up from underground.
He wore a long yellow robe resembling a raincoat.
This Bunny was named Yero.
Like the Bunnies still present, he was a Super Warrior Bunny.
Octopus tentacles emerged from beneath the yellow raincoat.
At that moment, the Dragon Bunny folded his arms and nodded.
He spoke in an extremely mocking tone, clearly intending his words for the elemental Bunny floating in the water.
“So, Bunnies who use elemental transformation to avoid fighting with their bodies…”
“Fighting with our bodies? Then it’s time for me to enter the stage!”
A white, fluffy figure flipped out from the forest and landed firmly on the ground.
*Boom!*
The impact triggered a tremendous tremor.
The Bunny supported himself with one hand against the ground and slowly stood up.
Two enormous greatswords rested on his back.
They were unbelievably heavy for a Bunny.
To humans, they would’ve been about the size of woodcutting axes.
When they struck the ground, they rang out with a deep metallic crash.
“Everyone seems to be Super Warrior Bunnies. In that case, can I join too?”
His name was Gal.
As a Bunny from the northern lands, his fur was longer than that of any other Bunny.
He was also quite large.
His animal companion, a little bear, wasn’t here.
The Southern Continent was simply too hot for the bear.
Yes, the only ones remaining now were the Super Warrior Bunnies.
They had originally been meant to protect the Bunny race in place of Gathertis.
Now, they had gathered in one place for the sake of that brown-paper package trapped inside the ice.
They had endured countless battles along the way.
The shockwaves from those battles had also battered the package again and again.
The contents could no longer remain in perfect condition.
Some parts had melted.
Some parts had been soaked.
They had even endured lightning strikes and the force of explosions.
As a result, the fragrance that should have remained sealed inside had gradually begun to escape.
The Dragon Bunny snorted and stroked his chin.
“Hmph… Since so many Super Warrior Bunnies have gathered, it’s time to decide who gets the first bite.”
“I know it’s Dragon Maiden cheese, so it isn’t that attractive to me, but…”
“I absolutely won’t give up the right to take the first bite to another Bunny!”
*Boom!*
A fierce burst of hot air drew the Bunnies’ attention.
By then, all the water around the fire elemental Bunny had completely evaporated.
Yalu walked out from within it, her body radiating terrifying heat.
“Don’t make me laugh. Who do you think you are, deciding everything by yourself?”
“We’re Bunnies!”
“And Bunnies should settle things with their fists!”
“Fists?! Don’t make me laugh! You’re going to talk about fists in front of me?”
Gal refused to back down.
He raised his clenched fist.
A kind of power that no Bunny should’ve possessed surged from it.
It was the immense strength of a giant human.
“I don’t object,” Yero said.
“But in the end, the strongest one should get the first bite, right?”
“If we’re talking about the strongest, does it really matter whether we use fists or not?”
Yero clearly wasn’t very concerned.
He spread his hands as he spoke.
At that moment, a massive voice rang out before them.
The figure was enormous.
It had deep purple fur and white fur covering its belly.
Yet that gigantic figure was indeed a Bunny.
The Bunny lowered his head shyly, raised a hand, and rubbed the back of his head.
“I don’t think I’m a match for any of you, but surely I can participate too?”
“Hmph. Big guy, if you don’t want to become a giant ice sculpture, you’d better be careful!”
The one saying this was a Bunny sitting atop a beautiful ice chair formed from frozen blocks.
But before she could say anything else, she heard a mechanical sound above her.
She raised her head.
A Blackbird airship was flying overhead!
Then six figures jumped down from the airship all at once.
No—there were eight Bunnies!
The eight Bunnies, equipped with machinery and firearms, landed on the ground.
They immediately formed a battle formation.
“We, the Black Dog Squad Bunnies, never said we were giving up!”
That’s right.
Even the Black Dog Squad had appeared!
At that moment, near the cheese, a Bunny’s arm suddenly broke through the ground.
It pressed against the earth.
Slowly, like a zombie, the Bunny dragged his body out from beneath the soil.
He supported himself with one hand while holding his own head with the other.
This was the Bunny who had caused all of this.
He snorted.
“You bastards… Don’t go using someone else’s belongings as a prize without permission.”
After saying that, the Bunny placed the head in his arms back onto his neck.
He twisted it a few times.
Then he revealed a Bunny face making an OWO expression.
“But I agree that whoever wins gets the first bite!”
In the next moment, every Bunny present understood.
This was going to be an incomparably spectacular Bunny battle.
Even Suger, who had somehow moved far away from the battlefield, thought so too.
But then Suger curiously looked at the pitch-black Bunny sitting beside her on the ground.
He was holding a roasted sweet potato.
No—she wasn’t even sure he was a Bunny.
His head looked exactly like a jack-o’-lantern.
“Aren’t you going to join?”
“No.”
The Bunny split open the roasted sweet potato in his hand and handed half of it to her.
“I just… like watching.”
