Konjiki no Gash!! Chapter 69

**Ferocious Woman** (凶暴な女, *Kyōbōna Onna*) is the 69th chapter of Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!!. This chapter was originally released in Japan as part of volume 8 on December 18, 2002.

## Plot

Megumi and Tio manage to save Kiyomaro and Gash just in time from Zobolon’s spell after seeing Gash’s lightning shot toward the sky. Kiyomaro expresses how relieved he is to see them and Megumi reminds him that she had once promised him that she and Tio would save them the next time they needed it. Even with Tio now being part of Gash’s team, their enemies claim that they still have no chance of winning against them. Papipurio and Rupa then rush toward Tio and Megumi respectively much like they did with Gash and Kiyomaro. When Papipurio grabs Tio, Megumi is briefly distracted and Rupa tries to use this opportunity to hit Megumi’s spell book out of her hands. Rupa then finds herself distracted when she sees Tio violently strangling Papipurio after he had commented that she should become his wife when he becomes king. Rupa tries to run off to help Papipurio but is stopped when Megumi grabs her arm and slams her onto the ground. Megumi then tries to come to Tio’s side but Rupa quickly gets up and takes Papipurio back with her to Zobolon and Hige’s side.

Still feeling confident they can win while Gash is still unable to fight back, Papipurio, Rupa, Zobolon, and Hige enact a new plan where they swap partners and stand on opposite sides facing towards Kiyomaro, Gash, Tio, and Megumi. From one side Zobolon uses *Dogurakeru* and on the other, Hige grabs Papipurio and spins around as Rupa casts *Dareido*. To protect themselves from both sides, Megumi casts *Seushiru* but the spell breaks quickly. After being knocked down a bit, Megumi checks up on Tio. Tio then finally lets out how frustrated she is with how difficult it was for them to even be able to schedule a day out with Gash and Kiyomaro and how frustrating it is now that the day was being ruined by this battle. Furious, Tio orders Megumi to cast a spell and Tio uses *Saisu* to attack. In order to save himself from the spell, Hige grabs Papipurio and uses him as a shield. Despite taking the attack directly, Papipurio tells his team that the attack did not do much damage to him and the group still feels certain that they’re going to win.

While trying to come up with a plan, Kiyomaro thinks that using *Zakeru* would be their best option but Gash is still not able to move on his own just yet. When Kiyomaro looks at the ground and sees what’s left of Papipurio’s *Dareido*, Kiyomaro gets an idea and shares this in secret with his team. Tio objects to this plan but both Kiyomaro and Megumi tell her that this is their best possible option and Tio reluctantly goes along with it. Just then, Gash attacks the ground near Papipurio and Zobolon using *Zakeru* and it creates a large amount of dust in the air. After this, Tio jumps out of it toward them and the enemy teams prepare to attack. Hige casts *Dogurakeru* and Megumi counters this by casting *Ma Seshirudo*. After doing this, Tio turns around and reveals Gash who was stuck behind her back. Before Gash could attack them, Rupa grabs Hige from behind and holds him in place to use him as a shield as he was about to do the same thing to Papipurio again. Kiyomaro casts *Zakeru* and the two bookkeepers are struck by the lightning.
