Only 3 chapters left until we leave this depressing vampire arc. Arcs 3 and 4 are more slice-of-life like Arc 1. Still, I quite enjoyed this arc, and if you guys have been appreciating it as well, I hope that you’ll buy a copy of Volume 2 when it comes out!

If you enjoyed it, but don’t have the money right now (can’t buy a few Subway footlongs), please consider writing a review here instead: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/tileas-worries/

Chapter 29 – “Taste the power of this silver bullet.”

Jessica-chan fainted. Although she was a student at the Magic Academy, it didn’t change the fact that she was still a small girl. The psychological strain of it all finally caught up with her. And looking back at everything that’s happened, who could blame her.

Jessica-chan, thank you for everything you’ve done. Have a good rest, and leave the rest to me. I won’t waste the silver bullet that you’ve given me.

I leisurely turned to Basten. The flames around his arms roared loudly. He’s pretty amazing. As expected of the one who proudly declared himself to be the Martial General.

“FUUHAHAHAHAHAH! How’s this? This is my secret technique, Terafire[Greatest Flame Spell]!”

“Terafire?”

“A legendary fire spell. Even a high-ranked demon wouldn’t be able to so easily copy this feat. Firepower that a human will never obtain.”

“Isn’t this even more amazing than the Chief of Demons?”

“Indeed. It is impossible for Bebe as well. Heh. Tilea, you had bad luck. This technique is something that even I can only do tonight.”

“I see. The full moon is out. In other words, this is the peak of your mana.”

“Hohh~ You’re well informed. Indeed. When the moon draws a full circle, my mana rises dozens of times. Tonight alone, I am stronger than anybody else!” declared Basten with pride.

Yeah. Your typical werewolf. How convenient. I’ll let you taste the power of a silver bullet!

I clenched the silver bullet in my right hand.

All that’s left is to activate a magic. I hope I remember how to do it.

That time when I learnt from Timu, the important thing was image. And the way I was able to most easily form an image, was with my chuunibyou. Apparently for me, the feeling of using magic was basically the same as, the feeling I got back when I used to act out my chuunibyou.

Haha, it looks like my past life still has quite the influence on me. Anyway, although I’d really prefer to forget it, I can’t be picky in a situation like this.

I’ll unseal it. My dark history.

Now then, the technique that most fits the magic I need is…

Yeah, it has to be that! With the bullet clenched in my hand, I raised my arm to Basten.

“This right hand is all I need to defeat you.”

With those words, I began concentrating on an image of demonic fire around my right hand. A shroud of darkness began to cover it. I know this is formed from something I’m imagining myself, but god, it’s so chuunibyou.

“Interesting. A showdown of magic, huh. I’ll accept your ch――T-, That can’t be… I-, Impossible! W-, Why!?”

Basten became panicked at the abnormality around my hand. Almost like a lamb frightened by a wolf.

Heh. Looks like his instincts are telling him… just what this stone is!

Indeed. This is the one thing that can destroy your kind――the silver bullet. I bet Basten never imagined this could be happening. How could he imagine that anybody in this world knew about his weakness.

Unfortunately for him, I have the knowledge from my past life. But there’s no reason to confess that to an enemy. I’m sure he has no idea why he’s feeling so terrified. After all, why would he need to feel afraid of elementary magic by a person like me. Never in his dreams would he imagine that it was actually what was inside my fist. I’ll enjoy seeing his confusion.

I brought my hand closer to him.

“Do you see this? Unlike your little candle-flame, this is the real thing――my Flame of the Evil God Realm.”

“Evil God Realm!? I-, Impossible! That’s definitely just some darkness magic!”

“Does it really look that way? Have a closer look.”

I brought my fist closer again.

“A-, Aahh, I-, I’m looking. I’m looking. Just now must have been some mista――IGYAHHHHHH! S-STOP ITTT! STAYY AWAYYY! WHATT THE HELL IS THATTT!? Darker than darkness, deeper than deep… The perfected form of destruction, that… even we demons have never reached… Hahh, hahh, hahh, w-, what are you? JUSTT WHATT THE HELL AREE YOUUUU!?”

Basten was completely terrified. I wonder if I brought it a little too close. The moment he got a good look at my magic, he started rambling in confusion.

Falling on his backside and rambling “impossible” and “this has to be a nightmare”, he looked just like a child afraid of the dark. The mighty warrior that slaughtered adventurer after adventurer was nowhere to be seen.

Okay. Time to pay the piper. I’m going to bury him.

“Basten. Befitting of the name ‘Martial General’, you were quite a valiant foe. But it looks like the moment you met me, your luck was up.”

“Hii! Y-You, aa-,a ahhh, wha… awauah…”

“Tremble for me. You will be the first sacrifice to my Evil God Immolation Black Flame Wave.”

Hearing my declaration to attack, Basten paled, but was frozen from the fear. Just like a deer in the headlights. This silver stone must really be special. To think that even a demon would be this afraid…

“Aah, aaaahh, y-, you, n-, I mean, Miss…”

“It’s too late to regret. Take this! EVIL GOD IMMOLATION BLACK FLAME WAAVEEEE!”

I swung my right hand down, and fired the silver stone. An impure stream of darkness seemed to growl through the air as it approached Basten. Without even time to scream, Basten turned into a stain on the ground, leaving almost nothing behind. The only proof of his existence was a burn mark.

W-, What power…

As expected of the Nichol Family heirloom!

Basten completely disappeared. The power of the silver probably erased every last cell.

Jessica-chan, thank you. Because you selflessly gave me your heirloom, we managed to defeat the demon.

I walked to the collapsed girl’s side, and gently stroked her head.

Now then, shall we go home? With Jessica-chan in my arms, I was about to turn around when,

“”Tilea-sama, that was magnificent!””

Timu and the Praetorian Guard all got down on one knee and lowered their heads.

You guys, didn’t I tell you to disperse? And what’s with this situation?

“Could it be that you guys saw me?”

“”As you say. We were in awe of your gallant figure!””

“Aah, I see.”

“Oneesama! I was moved as well. That, that was the pinnacle of magic, the Origin of destruction and chaos that I have always been searching for.”

“T-, Timu, you’re exaggerating, you know.”

“No, far from exaggerating, I can barely describe it. I-, I’m so moved that, uu-, I cannot stop my tears.”

Timu began to noisily cry. Oi, somebody stop this!

“Tilea-sama, I feel the same way as Camilla-sama. A true work of art will capture its audience with a glance. The grand technique that you showed us a moment ago was exactly a treasure-, no-, was so amazing that we cannot even place a value on it. It was truly a world of its own!”

“T-, That amazing?”

“Milady, we were all in great shock.”

Even Pervert(Nielsen) was super excited. What the hell is happening here.

No, wait. I see. I guess there’s nothing more delicious for a chuunibyou than a situation like that. I destroyed a demon with ‘magic’. And considering the name of the technique, and the way it looked, I guess it’s natural that they’re in love with it.

I see. So that’s why everybody was looking at me with sparkling eyes. Honestly, how bothersome.

Should I tell them the truth? That I just happened to know his weakness?

Mn!? Oi, oi, far from just bowing, some of them are even prostrating to me.

Who is it? ――Wha-, it was you, Or!?

Or had his forehead pressed against the ground. You, that’s, I’m astounded dude.

“Or, what is it you want?”

“Milady. I have seen your Evil God Arts for the first time. I am so moved that my body trembles! And-, And to think that to such a lofty personage-, the garbage I spewed… Kuh-! What a fool I have been… Uuu, I deeply, deeply offer my apologies.”

I see. So Or saw me defeat a demon, and mistook that to be my true power. And then he realised he picked a fight with a crazy strong girl. And now, after all this time, he’s regretting it. Acting tough, but currying favour with those stronger than you? Honestly, that’s pathetic.

But if he continues to think of me as strong, then it’ll be easier to reform him. For cowardly garbage like him, I need this kind of pressure.

“Or, to be honest, what you did today wouldn’t normally be forgivable. But I said it earlier; because of your feelings towards Timu, once, just this once, I’ll forgive you.”

“Yes, milady. I truly appreciate this chance from the bottom of my heart.”

“However! There won’t be a next time, okay? The next time you do it, my ‘grand technique’ will be used on you.”

“Hii! I-, I shall engrave it on my heart.”

Alright. That should be enough threatening.

Anyway, I was thinking of heading home now, but why have these guys still not dispersed? Starting with Timu, all of them were still on their knees.

Could it be that they’re waiting for some speech to wrap this up?

Honestly, no common sense, no matter the situation. Well, these guys did help a little during the vampire crisis, so I guess it might be fine to play with them just a little. Let’s come up with a really Evil God-ey speech for them.

“Eehh~ Ahem. Well then, members of the Evil God Army. Tonight, the battle once more ended in victory.”

“”Milady.””

“I look forward to your performance in the next.”

“”Milady! We are prepared to work our bones to the dust, to serve you!”

The vigorous shout resounded through the night sky. Mn. A good reply. Well then, shall we go――wha-, they’re still here. They’re all still here.

Even though I thought I already wrapped things up…

Everybody was still on their knees. Would it be better to end with applause? Or should I just straight out say “Dismissed!”  or something?

But, since everybody is already in such a good mood, it really wouldn’t be fair. Can’t be helped. I’ll go with something a little chuunibyou then.

“My name is Evil God Tilea, the Destroyer of Worlds, and the Creator of Worlds. Go forth! In the next battle, and the next, you shall offer me naught but victoryy!”

“”YES, MILADYYY!””

Chapter 28 – Jessica and the Werewolf

No sooner had the roar come from above, did the ceiling crumble and break. Martial General Basten made his appearance. He looked like a wolf which made him a beastman, but his strength was on another level. The mana that clad him was on a different magnitude to a beastman’s. Together with his dignity, he was clearly different from a normal vampire. It made sense that he called himself a general.

“Girl. Your name?”

Basten spoke to Tilea-san. But Tilea-san didn’t realise he was talking to her, and started looking around.

Nono, Tilea-san, however you look at it, he’s talking to you. Please think back to all the things you’ve done.

“I think he’s talking to you, Tilea-san.”

“Eh!? Eh!? M-, Me?”

“Indeed. Arcune, Horus, Bebe… I want to know the name of the one who defeated three of four, proud Malferand Knights.”

“H-, How did you know it was me?”

“Hmph. I followed the scent on their corpses. Every one of them have your scent on them.”

“B-, By scent…”

“Indeed. With my sense of smell, it was an easy task… Well? Your name?”

“…”

“What’s wrong? Your name! HURRY AND SPEAKK!”

“Y-, Yes, it’s Tilea.”

“I see. Then Tilea, I shall be avenging my comrades!”

Basten prepared for battle. The atmosphere began to quake as the mana transmitted through the air.

W-, What incredible mana!

Demons really are on a different scale to us. But even so, Tilea-san can do something about this.

“Now, Tilea-san. Please use your kukanomi as usual to…”

“I-, It’s no good… H-, How could this happen.”

“Tilea-san?”

“W-, Why is it a werewolf! T-, THE WEAKPOINT HAS CHAAAAAANGEEEEDDDDDDD!”

Eh? What’s that mean? She won’t be throwing kukanomi like usual?

“UWAHH! I’ll be killed! S-, Somebody… I-, I know! I-, It’s your turnnn! Slaughter Sword Ozuma-san! Blue Comet Shaben-san! Samidare Shogun Shana-san!”

Tilea-san began begging the F-rank adventurers to save her. Everyone seemed to be stunned by the sudden appearance of the demon, but Tilea-san’s loud voice woke them up.

“UWAHHHH! D-, DON’T DRAG ME INTO THISS!”

“S-, Somebody call the Public Safety Forcee!”

“H-, Hiii! W-Why is a demon here!?”

They discarded their prided weapons and ran left and right. Even if it’s a demon, aren’t you guys too panicked? Even a new student at the Academy wouldn’t act so shamefully.

Well, maybe it can’t be helped. Even an A-ranked adventurer wouldn’t stand a chance against this Basten demon.

To say nothing of F-rankers…

“Tsk. A noisy bunch of flies, aren’t you.”

In that instant, a flash of demonic light struck from his hands. It was so fast I didn’t even see him move. All the adventurers were killed in an instant. Some of them had their heads sliced in two, the brain tissue spilling out. Others were bisected from top to bottom, and all kinds of viscera splashed from inside.

“Now then, the nuisances are out of the way. Time to――”

“I-, It’s bad! A demon’s appeared! Enemy attack!”

Hearing the noise, the guards assembled. Every one of them had their weapons in hand as they faced Basten down.

“Impertinent! The first thing I’ll do is tidy up you riffraff!”

Basten roared and sent the guards flying.

Aahh, they really were no match. We were already lacking all the strongest members like Remilia-sama to begin with. I need to get Tilea-san to fight somehow.

“Tilea-sa――”

“Jessica-chan, n-now’s our chance to run!”

“Eh!? W-, Wait a mo――”

Tilea-san grabbed my hand and forcefully dragged me outside.

Why is Tilea-san running?

“Tilea-san, why won’t you fight like usual?”

“Jessica-chan, it’s impossible this time. The enemy is a werewolf. Kukanomi won’t work.”

“But why? Even a werewolf should be fine for you. Please just try throwing the kukanomi.”

“Jessica-chan, it won’t work. Kukanomi and crosses won’t work against a werewolf. Aaahh, if only I had a silver bullet…”

Silver boolet?

Tilea-san started fixating on something weird again. Even though a kukanomi would work just fine…

What should I do? How can I persuade her? Or would it be faster just to play along with her?

“Tilea-san, I don’t quite know what a boolet is, but would a lump of silver work?”

“Yeah, as long as it’s made of silver…”

I quietly picked up a stone from the roadside, and alchemised it into lead. I might not be able to create gold or silver, but I’m plenty skilled enough to create lead.

“Tilea-san, the truth is I have some silver with me.”

Saying that, I handed the lead stone to Tilea-san.

“EEH!? Really? What a coincidence! With this, we can beat him… Waii, is this really silver? It’s not really shining, and dull, almost like lead…”

Tilea-san made an obviously suspicious expression. Well of course. It really is a clump of lead.

“Tilea-san, that stone is actually an heirloom passed down in my Nichol family. Over the hundreds of years that we’ve had it, it’s gained a dignified tinge to it. But I can assure you that it’s silver.”

I wonder if my excuse was a bit lame. I don’t think even Tilea-san would be fooled by――

“I see! Now that you mention it, it really does look kind of elegant and silvery.”

SHE BELIEVED IT! I just blurted some nonsense. As Tilea-san took a good look at the lead, she praised “The skill of a craftsman sure shines, huh~” and nodded.

“Then Tilea-san, please don’t be shy. Please throw that at Basten in place of the kukanomi.”

“Yeah… Are you really okay with this? It’s an heirloom, isn’t it?”

“It’s fine, Tilea-san. In fact, I think that my ancestors would be happy as well, if they knew it was used to defeat a demon.”

Tilea-san, it’s just a clump of lead I created at random, so you don’t have to worry about that.

“I see. Then I won’t hold back――Oh no, that won’t work!”

Tilea-san lamented. Apparently there was yet another problem.

“Tilea-san, what’s the matter this time?”

“Jessica-chan, you know, when it comes to silver bullets they can’t be thrown by hand. They’re only as small as a bullet after all. You need a pistol to shoot it.”

Aahh, so annoying. Can’t be helped. I’ll just deceive her somehow.

But what’s a ‘pistel’ anyway?

Hmm~ From what she said, I’m assuming it’s a weapon like a bowgun. After all, she said that you can’t just throw it.

Huhu, if Tilea-san would just throw it, it would reach speeds impossible for a bowgun though. But even if I said that, I doubt Tilea-san would believe me.

In that case…

I know! As I recall, Tilea-san said that she could use elementary magic, didn’t she. I’ll have her throw it with magic. Besides, her ‘elementary magic’ is definitely going to end up being a match for our ‘final tier magic’. If it’s Tilea-san, I think she’ll be able to beat him with magic as well.

“If you can’t just throw it, then you can release the silver with magic, Tilea-san. You said that you could use magic, didn’t you?”

“Yeah. Only elementary magic though.”

“There’s no problem. Even elementary magic can produce incredible speeds. It can reach an itchimilicon per second.”

I’m honestly astounded by myself. I bet even a child wouldn’t be fooled, but… it should be fine since it’s her, right?

“I see! I don’t really get it, but that sounds really fast! Definitely as fast as a pistol. No, maybe even more. As expected of a fantasy world.”

Yep, I knew it! She started muttering words I didn’t understand again, but it seems that I convinced her at least.

“So this is where you were. I’ve crushed all the garbage inside. Now then, shall the strongest begin their fight!”

After finishing with the Headquarters, Basten appeared and roared fearlessly at her.

“Jessica-chan, stand back. Leave this to me…”

“Y-, Yes.”

I obediently left things to Tilea-san. Thank goodness. She’s motivated now.

“You defeated Bebe and the others. I’ll begin at full power! HAAAHH!”

Basten’s mana suddenly surged.

N-, No way. The already high mana rose even further. C-, Could this be the same amount as the huge mana I detected?

Then, Basten created a high density flame.

A-, Amazing. This isn’t anywhere near kilo, or mega anymore.

Giga… No, perhaps the legendary Terafire[Greatest Flame Spell]…

I was overwhelmed by Basten’s flame spell. On the other hand, Tilea-san seemed happy with the lead I alchemised. She was filled with confidence, or perhaps I could even say that she was acting careless.

This won’t do. Even if it’s Tilea-san, if she’s hit by that…

I was about to warn her but… my body suddenly swayed.

N-, No good. This again. A demon’s pressure. At this range, I can’t hold on.

Ahh, no good, my consciousness is fading. T-, Tilea-san, the rest is up to you.

Chapter 27 – Jessica and the Martial General Basten

When I returned to Headquarters, I was faced with President Muvordelly’s suspicion for having suddenly disappeared. I have an excuse, but it’s also true that I left without saying anything.

So I lowered my head and apologised. He looked like he had something he wanted to say, but he was kind enough to overlook me.

Lyris-chan’s message made it here, so they knew about Remilia-sama’s crisis. Because of that, they weren’t of mind to think about me. The President was incredibly busy with forming a rescue force.

Then, just as they were about to leave, Remilia-sama returned.

Everyone had been grim when they heard about her severe injuries, so they were relieved when she came back safely. Only, when they heard that the entire Public Safety Force was annihilated save for her, we realised that the demons were a greater menace than expected. Everyone went stiff with tension.

Seeing that, Remilia-sama scolded everybody, and began organising a force to head out to fight the demons again. Because of the demon crisis, we had already lost a lot of people. When Remilia-sama took people to fight, the Headquarters was left almost empty. There are basically only a few people from the Adventurers Guild here and there now.

If the demons attack here again, this place won’t hold. Just how reassuring would it be if we had Tilea-san here…

I wonder where she is right now. I can’t imagine that she was defeated by that terrifying Ortissio demon. She definitely beat him, but…

For now, I’ll check on Lyris-chan’s condition.

When I arrived at Headquarters with her, her breathing was faint. The Decarabia[Demon Destroying Pentagram] member Alec ran over and changed his expression, before immediately taking her to the infirmary. There are skilled healers there, but there are just too many patients. I’m worried about whether or not she was treated in time. I’m so anxious.

I headed to where Alec was. When I entered the room where I thought Lyris-chan would be sleeping, she was just about to leave with Alec.

“Ah-, Jessica?”

“Lyris-chan, is it fine for you to be moving already?”

“Yeah, I’ve been treated. We’re about to go rescue our companion.”

Apparently they were headed to the ally that Tilea-san mentioned.

“But are you really okay? Even if you had Heal cast on you, with your heavy injuries…”

“We aren’t so soft. Jessica, thanks for saving me.”

She smiled at me, before leaving with Alec. Even Heal isn’t perfect. Normally you would still need two or three days of rest, but she still…

I’m worried about Lyris-chan. I really want her to rest. But because I saw the determination in her eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to stop her. Her companion Alec seemed quite strong and reliable. I guess I’ll just have to trust in him. I hope he won’t let Lyris-chan come to harm.

“Ah-, is this where you were? An acquaintance of yours is looking for you.”

Whie I was in a daze after seeing Lyris-chan off, the Headquarters receptionist suddenly spoke to me.

Looking for me? I wonder who it is.

“Who’s looking for me?”

“She called herself Tilea.”

Tilea-san!

Thank goodness. So you were fine after all. Yeah. Although I thought that she would be fine, I can’t help but feel happy now that I know she really is. I want to go see her right this moment.

“Thank you very much for telling me! Then, where is Tilea-san?”

“I think she’s waiting in the reception hall.”

After thanking the receptionist, I immediately headed to the reception hall. When I arrived, I found groups of adventurers standing around.

Where’s Tilea-san?

I looked about.

Found her!

Tilea-san was having a friendly chat with some adventurers. Perhaps she was relieved now that she was at the Headquarters, because her tension was gone.

I headed towards her to call out to her.

Mn? What the?

I noticed something hanging on her neck.

White and round… Those are kukanomi!

I found Tilea-san wearing a cord threaded through kukanomi. She definitely got those from here.

Aahh, I bet they’re all thinking of her as some weirdo.

When I got even closer, I could hear their conversation now.

“Is that true! You’re amazing! Destroying a hundred demons!”

“Yeah, all I did was fire some fire from my shortsword. But in that instant, the vampires turned into a mountain of corpses.”

“Oohh~ You must be a master of the shortsword then. And what about you?”

“Me? I use the bow. Whenever I fire the bow, it’s like a rain of arrows. And it forms a mountain of bodies!”

“Truly the Huang Zhong of this world! Gosh, please let me call you Robin Hood.”

I-, It seems that they were standing in a circle and bragging about their accomplishments. Tilea-san expressed her shock at every one of their boasts.

Tilea-san, please don’t be fooled. These people are definitely F-ranked, or at best E-ranked, no matter how you look at it.

The reason these guys are here is simply to find shelter. I don’t think they’ve fought even once.

I mean, look at their swords and spears…

Not a single weapon had blood on it. Even though Lyris-chan and Remilia-sama risked their lives to fight…

As I listened to this unbearable conversation, it seemed to be Tilea-san’s turned.

“Ah, next is me, huh. Ummm~ For me, not only did I get the Wisdom General, shockingly, I even defeated the chief of the demons!”

“KUAHAHAHAHA! That’s quite a boast, eh. From what I can tell, you don’t seem to have a weapon, so is that what you used?”

The adventurers smirked as they pointed at the kukanomi hanging from her neck. Aahh, this is exactly why you should have just stopped. They’re all making fun of you, you know.

“Oohh, nice guess.”

“Ku ku, that’s a weapon? That’s your power?”

“No, no, rather than power, it’s knowledge.”

“Pfft, knowledge? Speaking of which, you defeated the Wisdom General, you say?”

“That’s right. Man~ It was a tough battle. Because I don’t have any strength, I had no choice but to battle with this.”

Tilea-san tapped her head, causing the adventurers to burst into laughter. Why do they seem to be having so much fun.

“Are you kidding me here. You know, you don’t look all that smart.”

‘Uwahh~ You’re so mean. It’s true. I had this student of the Magic Academy, Jessica-chan with me. She’s a witness to my battle of wits.”

W-, Wait, Tilea-san. Please cut that out.

You can’t be asking me to give a testimony…

And what’s more, a testimony to your battle of wits?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you trying to have me testify with lies!

Anyway, before the conversation turns crazy, I’ll call out to her.

“Tilea-san.”

“Jessica-chan! Are you feeling okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“I was really worried, you know. Thank goodness. You don’t seem traumatised.”

“You saved my life many times, Tilea-san. Thank you very much.”

“No, no, you don’t have too… Ah-, speaking of which, I was just talking about you.”

Eh-!? Tilea-san, what the heck are you saying?

“Everybody, this is the Jessica-chan that I mentioned. She’s living testimony to my battle of wits.”

“Ku ku, so you’re the braggart――oops, I mean, witness.”

Mu-!? I don’t want people like you to make fun of Tilea-san. Leaving her wits aside, her power is enough to eclipse you lot a hundred times over.

“I’m Nichol Jessica from the Magic Academy. Leaving her brains aside, Tilea-san’s story is true.”

“H-, Hey, Jessica-chan, what do you mean ‘brains aside’…?”

“HA HA HA HA! I knew it. Honestly, such a big lie just makes things funnier.”

“The liars are you people! Just now you were happily bragging, but have you fought even once? Didn’t you just run away this whole time?”

“W-, What did you! Little girl, are you insulting us!”

“Jessica-chan, what are you doing!”

The adventurers all became angry. But I’ve faced off with the terrifying demons numerous times. There’s nothing scary at all about this lot. Their anger is like a breeze to me now. Tilea-san looked at the angry adventurers, and her expression turned fearful.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tilea-san, you really are misunderstanding too much.

Just as our confrontation was about to explode, an incredible roar boomed from above.

“SO THIS IS WHERE YOU WEEEERREEEE!
TO AVENGE MY COMRADE, I,
ONE OF FOUR KNIGHTS OF MALFERAND
MARTIAL GENERAL BASTEN, SHALL STRIKEE!”

Chapter 26 – “Yeah. First we start as friends.”

Remilia-san thrust her sword at me. It was a black, lustrous, sharp-looking sword. Probably a famous sword.

Mn!? Looking carefully, that famous sword had blood on it.

Yay♪ That’s definitely the blood from slaughtering demons. Maybe my blood will add to it now…

My own imagination caused me to pale.

Oh crap, oh crap. I can totally feel her silent anger.

I-, I’m scared. What do I do? How do I get out of this situation?

Speaking of which, last time I sexually harassed her, Remilia-san almost cut me. Didn’t she say “The next time will cost you your life!” or something?

Awawawa, but this makes the second time. This is bad, so bad!

A-, Alright, for now shall I try making eyes like a small animal to try and appeal to her sympathy?
I tried making teary and fearful eyes. Then I started making animal cries too.

“Kyuun! Kyuun!”

I don’t even know myself what sort of animal this is supposed to be, but the point is I tried my best to invite sympathy. But Remilia-san didn’t remove her hand from her sword.

I-, It’s not good. Remilia-san seems to be really mad.

“U-, Umm, you know…”

“What? Leaving your last words or something!”

Dahh~ She’s completely unapproachable. Ummmm, ummmm… I wracked my brains to their limit.

This won’t do… That won’t do either…

I-, I know!

Thinking about it carefully, I actually did have a reason to strip her! It’s just that I panicked and forgot.

That’s right. I was checking to see if she had any wounds left. Well, it’d be a lie if I said I didn’t have ulterior motives though. Still, I really was worried for her, yep, yep.

“U-, Umm, about the reason I stripped you, you see, the truth is that I was checking to see if you had any wounds left after we healed you.”

“Wounds?”

Oh! The anger in her eyes faded. And she even moved her hand away.

“You were heavily injured. You were treated with Heal, but I was worried about whether we missed anything, so I just…”

“I certainly am healed. Even though I was that heavily injured… Tilea, was it you who did this?”

“No, the one who used healing magic was my little sister.”

“I see. All the wounds are completely healed too. Quite a talented sister you have.”

“Yes. She is my pride.”

“Umu. With this talent, I’d even want to scout her for the Public Safety Force.”

“Is it that amazing!?”

“Indeed. A complete heal. Impossible for your normal healer. If she continues to study, even becoming a high priest wouldn’t be a dream, you know.”

I knew Timu was amazing! Even Remilia-san who’s considered the top by the Royal Family endorsed her.

“I think my sister would be very happy to hear you say that, Remilia-san.”

“Where’s that sister now? And this place is…”

“We’re moving separately. I was actually on the way to bringing you to Headquarters.”

“I see. And then on the way, you were wondering about whether your sister’s healing was perfect or not, and checked me for wounds.”

“Y-, Yes… T-, That-, That’s exactly it! Exactly, exactly it!”

“Huu~ Honestly, say that earlier then! I very nearly killed my saviour’s relative, you know.”

SHOWEHHHHHH! That was close. I almost died from stupidity again. Anyway, it looks like I’ve avoided my death flag for now. All that’s left is to subtly find out if Or’s tripped a death flag.

“By the way, Remilia-san. What happened to injure you so heavily?”

“I was done in by demons. It’s pathetic, but they were incredible strong, and I had no way to deal with them.”

Aahh, Remilia-san is depressed now. She must be quite shocked about her defeat. But with that many demons, I don’t think it could be helped that she was defeated.

The people in this city were turned into vampires. There might have been hundreds, even. And all of them were defeated by the Public Safety Force, you know. That definitely wore them down. And their leader, Remilia-san. was doubtless in the heat of things.

The number of vampires really has decreased, so I think my guess is correct. Me and the Praetorian Guard defeated a few too, but just those few definitely weren’t enough to help Remilia-san. She’s definitely on the brink of exhaustion now.

“Remilia-san, please don’t be so down. It couldn’t be helped. You fought with so many demons after all.”

“Tilea. The Public Safety Force cannot be defeated. After all, our defeat is the defeat of the nation. In particular, I as the head, cannot be forgiven, no matter what excuses I may have.”

“B-, But thanks to the effort of everyone at the Public Safety Force, the demons were forced to retreat. You protected the Capital, Remilia-san. I think you can be proud of that.”

“Tilea, I appreciate this. My fallen subordinates will surely be saved by those words.”

Remilia-san thanked me for it.

Oohh, what a wonderful expression.

She’s kind of…

Yeah, noble. Her expression was noble. I think I just fell in love with her again.

I stared at Remilia-san in a daze… Wai-, this isn’t the time to be spacing out. Or! I need to ask about Or!

“Um, about the demon that attacked you, Remilia-san…”

“A terrifying enemy. My subordinates were completely massacred. It was a one-sided battle.”

“It must have been quite an enemy if you were cornered to such an extent.”

“Indeed. He was a stronger foe than any I have met.”

S-, So scary. Demons really are so scary. Even Remilia-san, a Hero’s descendant and an S-ranked adventurer is saying this…

Once I considered what would’ve happened without my knowledge cheat, I shuddered.

“So you were defeated by that demon, and then you collapsed?”

“Indeed. It shames me to say that my secret technique was overturned, and I became captive… Mn? Speaking of which, when you healed me, Tilea, did you guys find any demons nearby?”

“No, not at all.”

“I see. Then why did they leave me? I cannot understand. They bound me, but then…”

“U-, Umm~ Remilia-san, could it be that you were conscious when you collapsed?”

“Because of my injuries, my consciousness was hazy, but yes, I do remember.”

GABOH-! Then she definitely remembers Or’s face. This is the worst possible development. Aahh, Or you idiot, what the hell have you done!

Also, Remilia-san seemed to be confused about why she was just left there after being captured, but I know the truth. After considering what she told me, this is what actually happened.

First, Remilia-san and her men were fighting with the strongest demon. But despite their efforts, everybody died by Remilia-san. Remilia-san also suffered heavy injuries, and collapsed. The strongest demon thought that Remilia-san was dead, and left her. But despite her injuries, she was still barely conscious.

Enter Or and friends.

『Hey, hey, we’re tha Evil God Army that makes even crying babies shut up! Yahooo! This stake is tha besttt!』

『It truly is, Captain Or. To think that we would be able to defeat demons with this… Could it be that we’re amazing? Totally amazing?』

『Dumbass! Of course we’re fucking amazing. There’s nothing we can’t do! We’re the Evil God Army! We’re allowed to do whatever we want!』

That’s probably how they were. They went so far past fear that they instead ended up on a weird high. After all, they even tried to attack Jessica-chan, and their survival instincts were at their peaks.

Then if in that situation, they spotted the famous Remilia-san…

『Oi oi oi, ain’t that the famous Remilia lying over there?』

『Yeah, that’s defs her. It’s that Remilia. A Heeerooo’s descendanttt. Whatta we do? Should we do it? Should we strip her?』

『Dumbass! First we gotta tie her up, of course!』

『As expected of Captain Or! Jumping straight into the bondage! I admire that part of you!』

Something like that? I can easily picture them doing that. I bet they were messing around and caught the famous Remilia-san. She never mentioned a third party coming. I’m sure because of her condition, she didn’t notice a third party come in, and simply assumed that it was the demons that tied her up.

Isn’t this pretty bad?

She probably remembers their faces. If she sees them again, she’ll definitely realise that they’re the criminals that tied her up. And extrapolating further, there’s a huge possibility that she’ll mistake them for the allies of the demons.

Awawawawa, then we definitely can’t let Remilia-san meet Or and the others.

“A-, At any rate, the most important thing is your safety. Why not leave the investigation for later?”

“H-, However, I truly cannot understand it. For them to simply leave me without killing me is…”

“They certainly believed you to be dead, and left as a result.”

“No, they tied me up. They knew full well that I was alive.

Haha, of course. Because the one who tied you up was a third party. It was Or and the others. But I can’t say that, definitely not.

“W-, Well, isn’t that fine! After all, you’re alive. I’m sure they had their own reasons.”

“True. I can gradually investigate this point.”

“Yes. I think that would be good.”

Phew, are we safe for now? My lifespan just shortened trying to clean up after them.

“That reminds me, I must thank you sisters later.”

“Thank? No, please… We only did what was natural.”

“No, you saved me. Please let me thank you.”

“Then in that case, please thank my sister Timu later. I’m sure she’ll be overjoyed.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that. When I meet her, I’ll ask what she wants as thanks.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Also, Tilea. I want to thank you as well.”

“Heh-!? Me!?”

What a shocking proposal.

“Indeed. It’s a way of apologising for my earlier rudeness, even though you were worried about me. Not only that, but your information helped me very much.”

“I-, Is that so? But, even if you suddenly say that…”

“Don’t be shy. What do you want? Try saying it!”

W-, What should I do?

I guess, something like ‘Please marry me’? But that might be a bit sudden. There’s already the race difference to think of, to say nothing of the gender barrier. It would be better to be prudent here. Well then, something like ‘Please spend a night with me’?

This is bad too, huh. Remilia-san seems the chaste type, so if I solicited her for premarital sex, she’d definitely get mad.

Hmm~ It’s no good. My head is spinning. I don’t know what to say. The more I think about it, the more confused I’m getting.

Let’s just got with a straight ball!

“Remilia-san, is anything fine?”

“Yeah. Although I’ll ask you to keep it within the bounds of common sense.”

Alright. I took in a deep breath, and then exhaled to calm myself.

And then…

“I love you, Remilia-san. Please go out with me!”

I tried confessing.

Remilia-san’s eyes turned into dots. Maybe it was really unexpected. But perhaps she understood what I was saying, because her face turned bright red.

“W-, Wh-Wh-What are you saying! I-, Is that a proposal? Are you serious? A joke――”

“I am not joking. I’m serious!”

I gazed at her with an earnest expression. Perhaps because her calm was slowly returning, she warned me in a calm voice.

“Tilea, not only am I an elf, I am also a woman, you know.”

“Yes, of course I know. Is there some problem?”

“Y-, You know, I would think there are plenty of problems with that, but…”

“As long as there is love, one can overcome any and all barriers.”

“A-, Anyway, it’s impossible.”

My shoulders dropped in gloom.

I-, I was rejected. Even though I seriously confessed…

“Aahh, even though I was serious… Remilia-san, in the end you were the type of person who would discriminate just because of sex and race, weren’t you.”

“Tilea, leaving stuff like sex aside, I will not marry anybody weaker than myself. If you desire me, then you’ll need to defeat me in battle first.”

“T-, That can’t be…”

What a dated proposal technique…

And Remilia-san, please stop gripping your sword again!

“What’s wrong, Tilea? If you wish, I don’t mind duelling you.”

“Wha-… Wait. Remilia-san, that’s really too much against an unarmed novice.”

“Huhu, then give up!”

Remilia-san made a triumphant expression. As though just that much was enough to have me stand down.

Hmph! I’m a little annoyed now.

“I’m finding it difficult to accept that. If strength was all you required, then by that logic, even somebody with a terrible personality would be fine.”

“Those who stand at the pinnacle of the martial path do not have such personalities. A healthy body begets a healthy soul.”

“No, no, that’s certainly strange. In that case, if the demon who beat you earlier went and proposed to you, would you accept?”

“Mumu! Tilea, you have quite the silver tongue. I don’t really like people like that.”

“Uu, then instead of talking, I’ll show you that I’m serious. Only, it won’t be in a fight.”

“If not with martial strength, then with what?”

“With cooking.”

“Hah-!? Cooking!? With mere cooking, you――”

“There is nothing mere about it! I’m really trying my best with cooking. Even if it’s you, Remilia-san, I won’t forgive you if you disparage cooking!”

I drew near Remilia-san. Cooking is a precious treasure that I learnt from my parents. Insulting it is like insulting Mum or Dad. This is the only thing I won’t yield for. Even if you threaten me with a sword, I won’t. Cooking is my identity.

“I’m sorry.”

Remilia-san bowed deeply to me.

“Eh-!?”

“I made fun of your earnestness. My apologies. I’m sincerely sorry.”

“Ah-, no-, umm…”

Remilia-san’s serious gaze shook me up.

“If somebody made fun of my martial arts, I would be hurt. Cooking is the same thing for you, isn’t it.”

“Yes. I learnt my cooking from my respected parents. So cooking is my pride.”

“I see… I don’t hate people with pride.”

H-, Huh? I got mad because she made fun of cooking, but thanks to that, for some reason she’s all respect-ey with me now.

“U-, Umm, what do you…?”

“Tilea, I can’t date you.”

“Y-, Yes.”

“But, I could become friends with you.”

Eh!? Eh!? Eh!? Oh my goodness!

Remilia-san gave a shy smile. Can I think of this as a smile for me alone?

Huhu, IT’S HEEEEERE! IT’S TOTALLY HERE! THIS! I TOTALLY RAISED A FLAG!

Yep, yep, these sort of things always start off as friendships.

“Yes. I would also like to become your friend, Remilia-san.”

I took her hand, and firmly shook it. She grasped my hand back with a smile. It looks like she was happy about making a new friend. I was really happy as well.

Uhuhu, sometimes friendship turns into love, you know.

“Ah-, also. Tilea, you’ve plans to move to the Capital, don’t you.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Then may I continue to rely on your for information?”

“Yes, of course. I plan on opening a restaurant here in the Capital. If I hear anything, I will definitely let you know.”

“That really helps. In that case, if you hear the name Ortissio, please let me know.”

“…S-, Sorry?”

“Ortissio. That’s the name of the one that attacked me. I’m counting on you.”

Ababababa! So she knew that retard(Or)’s name after all.

What do I do?

Or rather, I wonder what she’d do if she found out that those guys are my companions.

Uhuhu, sometimes friendship turns into hatred too.

---

It should be noted that despite her stupid-sounding narration, when she speaks to Remilia or teachers, or other adults or people of higher standing, Tilea speaks quite properly and politely.
It’s almost like she has common sense.

Chapter 25 – “Oh my god. I’m alone with Remilia-san.”

I-, I’ll just say it as it is… As if! You think I would, idiot!

Honestly, I think I’m about to go crazy. Thanks to Or&friends’ stupid actions, we’re as good as public enemy number one. Tying up a VIP like this isn’t something as simple as ‘obstruction of duty’ anymore. If this gets out, everybody involved is going to be sent to the gallows.

No, hang on, perhaps we’ll be lynched by the citizens of the Capital first. Teheh ♪

Considering what they did, even if the rest of us claim innocence, nobody will listen. They’re definitely going to think of us as allies. Or rather, if we’re looking for the ringleader, isn’t that me, as the Evil God?

Oh my god.

But even though we’re in such a crazy situation, Or doesn’t seem to realise it at all. Instead, his face is saying “I’m amazing, right? Praise me, praise me!”

Huu, is this guy an idiot? Is he a retard?

I want to hit him in the face this very instant, but this isn’t the time for that. I have to break through this situation somehow.

I stared hard at Remilia-san.

That gallant and noble Remilia-san was now lying on the floor, bound by rope.

Aaahh, how pitiful. I bet she would never have dreamed that she’d be taken hostage by a bunch of idiots like this. To have been caught by these guys, her fight with the demons must have been incredible. Her stamina is probably close to zero. After all, she’s wounded all over, and looked heavily injured.

You can tell from that alone, just how intense the fight must have been…

Mn!? Or rather, if we don’t hurry and treat her, won’t things turn bad?

She’s bleeding out even now. The puddle of blood under her is turning incredible.

T-, This is bad. Remilia-san is going to die!

Awawawa, what am I dawdling here for when my future girlfriend is going to die!

“Timu, please hurry and Heal her!”

“Heal this elf?”

“Yes, hurry!”

“Fumu, I understand.”

“T-, That can’t be… Even though we spent so long to catch her…”

“You idiot! Oneesama clearly has some plan behind this. Ortissio, you have no standing to butt in!”

“M-, My deepest apologies for the shallowness of my thoughts.”

Timu rebuked Or for saying something stupid. Yeah. Just like Timu says. What is he still going about after all this time. Timu’s right to be angry.

But you know, before scolding him, could you heal Remilia-san first? If you don’t hurry, she’s going to die.

“Timu, leave the scolding for later. Heal her first!”

“Yes.”

Timu raised her hand over Remilia-san.

Oohh, her wounds were visibly closing. Timu’s forte really is holy magic. I wonder if she’ll end up working as a priest class in the future.

And then…

“It is finished, Oneesama. She should awaken soon.”

“Thanks, Timu. You’ve saved me.”

Phew~ Safe for the moment. We’ve saved Remilia-san from death. My future lover is safe, and we’ve also escaped a trip to the gallows.

All that’s left is the follow up after she’s awoken, but…

What should I do?

I wonder if everything would work out if I just told her that we found her and saved her.

…No, hang on a moment. There’s something I need to check first. When Or tied her up, was she conscious? Even if she was hazy from the injuries, it’ll be terrible if she’s seen Or’s face.

“Or~ There’s a veeeeery important question I’ve got to ask you, but…”

“Yes, Milady. Ask me anything.”

“Well then. I’m just asking, but when you tied her up, did she see your face?”

Well? That’s seriously the most important thing here.

…At worst, he might even end up on the wanted list.

“Of course she saw my face. After all, the one that defeated Remilia was none other than ourselves.”

Kuh-, I knew he’d say that. Of course, right? That’s the kind of people these guys are. This is why chuunibyou is dangerous when it gets out of hand.

But I wonder what exactly the truth is.

From what I hear, rather than tying her up after finding her unconscious, it’s more likely that they ambushed her as she was unsteady on her feet, and about to faint.

But in that case, isn’t this quite bad?

At this rate, we’ll end up in a crazy misunderstanding when she wakes up. Well, he did attack her, so it’s not exactly a misunderstanding but…

Anyway, if she remembers what happened before she collapsed, we’re definitely going to be arrested. Far from just that, since we basically assisted the demons, we might even be confused as having something to do with them.

Aah aahh, what do I do? Neither Timu, nor Or, nor Pervert(Nielsen) seem to understand how serious this is. Far from it, are these guys actually happy?

“This is bad. It appears that members of the Public Safety Force are en route. Likely to be reinforcements for Remilia.”

Oohh, that’s right, Myuu. Exactly right! You’re like the oasis of my heart. You’re the only one who understands the situation.

“Mühen, if you are concerned with information disclosure, then we should simply take care of this elf. The blame will simply fall to the vampires.”

“That’s true. If we do not want the humans to know of our existence, then that would be best.”

“No, more importantly, shall we not take care of the reinforcements as well?”

What scary things you guys are saying. It’s true, it’s true that that would be the most surefire way to destroy the evidence but…

Please stop that. What if Timu seriously does it? More importantly, why are you guys all acting so arrogant. Myuu aside, the rest of us are goners the moment Remilia-san wakes up, okay?

Or rather, what the hell are you saying about my future girlfriend!? Pervert(Nielsen), Or, see if I don’t strangle you later.

“Everyone, it looks like you realise just how bad this situation is.”

“Yes, milady. How should we move? Shall we intercept them? Or shall we eliminate Remilia and then conceal ourselves?”

“You knoww~ Please stop saying silly things already. Or rather, Timu’s really about to do it!”

“I see. Tilea-sama, so you had some use for that elf.”

“T-, That’s right. Anyway, just leave this place to me. You guys hurry up and disperse, and take a good rest tonight to restore your energy.”

“”Yes, milady.””

After everyone dispersed, I carried Remilia-san and then began heading to Headquarters myself. This is the best choice. With everyone here, who knows what they’ll tell the Public Safety Force. And also, if Remilia-san really does remember their faces, this time it’ll be our turn to be tied up.

My plan is to bring Remilia-san to the Headquarters, and then lie a little. First, the best situation would be one where she doesn’t remember Or beating and tying her up. In that case, I could just say that we found her and saved her.

In the case that she does remember, I’ll lie about the criminal. I think her memory should be hazy, and as long as I insist on it, she should believe me. Giving a false testimony really isn’t something anyone should do, but if Timu’s… I guess I could call him companion, ended up being hanged, I really wouldn’t sleep well. I’ll just make up something about seeing her attacked by demons.

I continued walking as I simulated conversations in my head.

I kept walking, walking, walk… I-, It’s no good. I can’t concentrate.

After all, Remilia-san is sooo soft!

The voluptuousness against my back was so stimulating. Ooh, ohhhh, each time I took a step, it hit against my back. I-, I’m starting to feel weird.

A-, And what’s with this scent!?

Aahh, it smells so good. S-, So this is the scent of elf? W-, What a complex fragrance! I might get addicted to it. I’ve hugged her from the front a few times, but this time she’s even closer to me, so I was getting a full blast of it.

Aahh, no good. Even though I knew it was no good, I kept sniffing and sniffing.

Sniff~ Sniff~

What a great smell.

I-, I’m recalling my last life for some reason. Inoue, the scent of elf really does exist. Apparently it’s your win.

In the past, we once had a passionate debate about what elves smelt like. We went through all sorts of possibilities in our imaginations. Did they smell like rose flowers? Did they smell like rose hip? Did they smell like hop? In the end, we used various perfumes and created the scent of elf.

And amongst the perfumes created by all the members… It’s Inoue’s who was the closest. As expected of him. As expected of “greatest elf-lover” President Inoue. It really is amazing. You really did a great job with your imagination. At the time, I argued stubbornly, didn’t I. I too loved elves, which is why I didn’t want to lose to you.

But, the answer is here now. I’ve been shown the proof.

Inoue, you were number one!

As I was basking in nostalgia, I continued to sniff Remilia-san.

……
…………
………………

Wai-, whoaa! What the hell are you doing, me!?

How can I say anything about Or if I’m acting like such a pervert. Seriously, what the hell am I doing. If Timu found out about this, she’d be disgusted.

Huu, honestly, why does this always happen? Whenever it comes to elves or Remilia-san, my ego always seems to fly away. Is it because I’m in love with Remilia-san? Or could this be the karmic bonds as the former “We Super-Love Elves Society” Vice-President?

I have to calm down. Calm down…

Right. Didn’t the Society already discuss at length what we would do in this situation? Yeah. We already exhausted the topic of what we would do if we ever ended up alone with an elf. After all, we never knew when we might suddenly be sent into another world, and meet an elf. If we weren’t able to cope with it calmly, we would never be able to find an elf lover.

President Inoue often said it…

When you meet an elf…

“YOU STRIP THE ELFFFFFFFFFF!”

In an instant, I stripped Remilia-san of all her clothes.

…Wai-, that’s wrong, Inoue!

I stood dumbfounded for a while.

I was just trying to use my past-life knowledge to calm myself down. But it looks like I was more hysteric than expected. Right in front of me was Remilia-san in her birthday suit.

W-, What an outrageous appearance. O-, Oh no. What am I thinking!

Why is it that as I tried to calm down, I ended up stripping her instead? Have I been possessed by something? Well, at least I didn’t rip her clothing off, so I guess I still had some reason left behind.

A-, Anyway, I have to quickly dress her!

I moved to put her clothing back on. But despite how hurried I was feeling, my hands wouldn’t move.

W-, What incredible proportions…

S-, So dazzling. T-, Truly the goddess of beauty, Venus. Remilia-san’s perfect proportions, and completely flawless skin…

Aahh, Remilia-san, why must you bewitch me so!

I-, I gulped.

Y-, Yeah. Timu healed her, but maybe there’s still an injury somewhere. T-, That’s right. Before I dress her again, I’d better check to make sure, right? It’d be terrible  if she was still injured somewhere.

I began to examine every nook and cranny of her body.

Oohhh, so beautiful.

As Remilia-san lay there with her perfect proportions, I looked! Touched! Sniffed! And then… licked!! I enjoyed her with all five senses.

And then, after continuing that for how long, I don’t know…

My eyes, which had beheld her every corner, met with Remilia’s as they opened. Remilia-san looked at me in confusion, before quickly standing up. She’s glaring at me suspiciously now.

Oh crap! OH CRAP!

Aren’t I in even deeper trouble than Or now?

Idiot! I’m an idiot! What shameless things have I done. It’s too late to even regret it now. A cold sweat dripped down my skin.

“Tilea, wasn’t it. I have a sudden question for you.”

“Y-, Yes?”

“Why, am I naked?”

“W-, Who knows~ Perhaps you were on stand-by naked?”

“Tilea. I hate jokes.”

“Y-, Yes. I-, I’m sorry, I stripped you.”

“Why?”

“Even if you ask me why, you know~? Just why I wonder. I actually wanna ask that myself.”

“In other words… you had no reason?”

“N-, No no, of course that’s not… C-, Can’t be helped, huh~ G-, Guess I’ll strip too, to make it even.”

I was about to take off the clothes on my body, but Remilia-san silently gripped the hilt of her sword.

Abababababababa! I’m in really big trouble this time! Somebody save me!

Chapter 24 – “Criminals need to be punished.” (Finale)

“Oneesama, just what is this fuss about?”

I told Timu an outline of what happened. The longer she listened, the higher her eyebrows went. It looks like she’s also angry about attacking a girl. Timu started to glare with an enraged expression.

Ooh, she’s my little sister, but I’m finding her a little scary. She’s like a real demon now.

Seeing her angry expression, Or quickly paled and immediately began to make excuses.

“Y-, You are wrong, Camilla-sama. I do not know what the Evil God said, but we――”

“EVIL GODDD!? Ortissio, what do you mean by dropping your honorifics!”

Timu roared without lenience. Or’s group began to tremble.

“M-, My sincere apologies. U-, Umm, Tilea-sama was taking the side of the humans… T-, That’s right. She called out intimately to this human named Jessica. Tilea-sama was being friendly with the likes of a human, and betrayed demonkind.”

“Jessica… Why, is that not the name of Oneesama’s present to me! Ortissio, you dare to break Oneesama’s present without permission!?”

“H-Hii, I-I-I had no idea.”

My, my Or. Pouring oil onto the fire. If Timu found out that you tried to attack her good friend Jessica, of course she would get mad. Seeing Timu’s angry expression, that Or’s trembling reached a pitiful level, as he entreated Timu.

“Enough, Ortissio!”

“Yes, milady. M-, My deepest apologies. I will never again do such a thing.”

“You shall die.”

“Wha-!?”

“Turning your blade towards Oneesama deserves absolute death. No matter what you try and tell me, I have no intention of listening. Listen well. No matter what happened, Oneesama is always correct.”

“C-Camilla-sama, w-, why? Why do you swear allegiance to the Evil God so? You, who is even exalted as the founder of the magic system…”

“Eei! Just having you in the Household Guard brings my loyalty to Oneesama into question.”

“Camilla-sama, the others may be pathetically bending their knees to the Evil God, but the Ortissio Unit is different. We do not fear the Evil God. If you should revolt, we are prepared at any time to――”

“YOUU! Of all things, you would incite me to rebel against Oneesama!? Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!”

Idiot. Seriously, what an idiot.

Did he seriously think that she wouldn’t get mad after inviting her to attack me together?
As expected, Timu’s anger grew further and further.

With an enraged expression, Timu kicked Or flying, before firing magic bullets at him. All of them splendidly hit him dead-on. Sent flying away, he was barely holding onto his consciousness.

“Hahh, hahh, p-, please forgive me.”

“Do not speak!”

“GAHAH-!”

The very moment that he opened his mouth, Timu hit him with a magic bullet. The impact had sent him staggering.

“Do not move!”

“GEHOH-!”

Or who was already tottering from the injuries was hit by a magic bullet again.

Like that, each time he spoke or moved, Timu would fire her elementary magic at him.

Hm~mm, he’s getting what he deserves, but if I don’t stop her soon this’ll turn bad. Even if it’s elementary magic, after a few hits, the feeble Or’s already quite injured.

As expected, Or couldn’t handle her magic, and eventually started to bleed.

Oh crap. Timu’s going to turn into a murderer. I placed a hand on her shoulder, and stopped her from firing.

“Timu, if you don’t stop soon, he’ll die.”

“Ah, that is true. In my anger, I put too much strength in. As you say, we cannot allow him to die so easily. Well then, I shall restrain myself a little, and resume the punishment.”

Like that, Timu turned to fire another magic bullet.

Whoa, whoa, that’s not what I mean, Timu. He’s criminal scum, yes, but if you murder him then you’ll be the criminal.

Only, it looked like the blood had gone to her head, and it was possible she would lynch him at any moment.

Well, I understand her feelings, certainly. If Or tried to attack Timu, I’d probably be doing the same thing. I’d definitely beat the crap out of him. I’m happy that Timu cares for me like this, but I can’t sit by while she becomes a criminal either.

“Timu, stop. Leave this to me.”

Or was in tatters from her magic. He was bleeding everywhere, pitifully. Even if he’s criminal scum, I wonder if this isn’t overdoing it a little.

“Or, have you reflected? Timu might have gone a little overboard, but that’s just how unforgiveable what you were trying to do was.”

“Hahh, hahh, Evil God, w-, what ‘Timu’! Hahh, hahh, do not refer to our respected and beloved Camilla-sama by such a name!”

Even after all this time, he’s still not willing to back down…?

Or, you really are a hardcore Timu fan, huh. I guess it’s like that rule with idols where you have to use their stage names, and not their real names.

“To speak to Tilea-sama with such an unbelievable tone! Unforgivable!”

“Oneesama, it looks like he has not reflected at all. I shall bestow upon him the greatest suffering imaginable!”

Timu and all the Household Guard were enraged at Or. Or had stopped using keigo with me, and was now looking at me with open hostility. He probably thinks it’s my fault that Timu hates him.

But man, this damned Or. Even though Timu did all that to him, he’s still imploring her. The way he’s treating Timu is completely different to the way he’s treating me. Not even a little hostility is in his eyes. Just pure respect. Or might be criminal scum, but it looks like his feelings for Timu are the real thing, at least.

And certainly, had it not been for this massive demon invasion disaster, even Or might not have done something so serious. Maybe he lost his reason because of the panic. Perhaps I can take the circumstances into consideration  just a little.

In my old life, I was an otaku too. That’s why I know full well how much it hurts for your beloved idol to hate and curse you. To Or, there’s nothing more painful than having Timu hate and attack him. Even now, Timu was still cursing him mercilessly. Although I stopped her from violence, her verbal attacks were continuing. It looks like they didn’t know how to stop criticising him.

Or was desperately explaining himself. He was bleeding from his wounds, and although he seemed to be enduring the pain, he kept begging Timu for forgiveness. It’s pitiful. Just too pitiful.

Huu, can’t be helped. I guess I’ll give him one last chance. If he still doesn’t repent, then I’ll give him to the guards without mercy. But first I’ll make sure that he doesn’t hold any grudges against Timu. It would be too terrible if his intense love turned into intense hatred.

“Or!”

“W-, What?”

“Timu――Camilla. Do you hate her now?”

“Hahh, hahh, hahh. S-, Stupidity! Camilla-sama is more important to me than my life! I would not even consider it!”

“Even though she did all this to you?”

“Of course! Hahh, hahh, no matter what she may do to me… My loyalty, will never waver!”

Or screamed resolutely. The way I see it, he wasn’t lying. As long as they aren’t going to harm Timu, then she might need the fans. From now on, she’s going to be living in the Capital, so the more allies, the better. She’s already got the position of ‘Magic Academy Student from the countryside’. I bet lots of people would be jealous. Or might be a hopeless guy, but at least he really seems to treasure Timu.

“Oneesama, may we begin? Considering the rude way he is addressing you, I am about to go mad.”

“C-, Camilla-sama…”

“Aahh, that’s enough, Timu.”

“Oneesama, whatever do you mean?”

“I’m not going to punish Or any further. If any of you know healing magic, please heal him.”

Both Timu and the Household Guard were stunned by my words. Looks like they thought his punishment was a given. Although I asked them to heal him, nobody moved. Everyone, I know you’re angry at Or, but please endure it.

…Or rather, if we don’t heal him, won’t he die soon? He’s still bleeding.

This is bad! Really bad!

This is an emergency now. Aahh, anybody is fine, so please heal him.

Mn? Speaking of which, do we even have somebody who can heal?

“Oneesama, do you truly wish to heal this damned Ortissio?”

“Yes, that’s right. Anybody? If you don’t heal him soon… Aahh, a potion would be fine too, but…”

“Oneesama, healing magic is the area we demons are weakest in. Almost nobody can use Heal[healing magic]. Well, it is a different matter when it comes to I, the master of all elements, however.”

“Oohh, Timu, you can use Heal? Then please, hurry!”

“However…”

“Timu!”

“I-, I understand. Although I am unwilling, if it is the order of my Oneesama, then…”

While muttering complaints, Timu used Heal on him. The wounds on his body closed up in a flash.

Amazing. She’s like a behoman. It only took an instant. Fully healed, too. Timu keeps acting tough and insisting that darkness magic is her forte, but I guess it was actually holy magic. She’s a chuunibyou, so of course she likes darkness, but I hope she’ll choose her school classes to properly match her talent.

After he was healed, Or looked at me. Perhaps because I had him healed, his hostility was weaker than before.

“Are you, forgiving me…?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Even though I was so rude to you…”

“Heh. Or, if Timu and I fell into a crisis at the same time, who would you save?”

“Camilla-sama, of course. Even if I have to sacrifice my all, I will work for her sake.”

“Youu… So you are still saying those things. I shall tear that mouth of yours off!”

Timu leant forward, menacingly.

“Timu, stop it. Or, well said. I’m forgiving you because you feel this way towards Timu.”

“Tilea-sama, this cannot be allowed. If you do not discipline Ortissio, it will affect discipline.”

Pervert(Nielsen) also took a step forward, and opposed me.

“It’s fine, I said. To begin with, everybody was Timu’s Praetorian Guard. As long as you all treasure Timu, that much is plenty disciplined.”

“Oneesama… I have said it earlier too, but the Household Guard is not mine. Myself included, we all belong to you, Oneesama.”

“Timu, I’m really happy that you feel that way about me. But you know, that doesn’t mean that it’s alright to force everybody’s feelings to change.”

“T-, Tilea-sama, there is no such thing. We truly believe in, and revere you.”

Pervert(Nielsen) and the others started to disagree together.

“Niel, I get it. I know very well that you guys believe in me. But that’s exactly why I want you all to support Timu instead. This is an order.”

“H-, However…”

“It’s an order! Timu is more important to me than anything. That’s why I want you guys to treasure her the most as well.”

“Milady. I am deeply touched by your feelings for Camilla-sama. Please leave Camilla-sama to me.”

Pervert(Nielsen) replied in an even more motivated voice than usual. All the other members were nodding with earnest expressions. It looks like everybody in the Praetorian Guard has accepted it.

“Uuu, Oneesama. I-, I am so happy!”

Tears were running down Timu’s face. It looks like she was moved. Silly. We’re sisters, so this is natural.

All that’s left is Or’s attitude, but…

“Or. What you did was unforgivable. But circumstances are circumstances, and I should have been more considerate of your feelings. I’m sorry.”

“Tilea-sama… To lower your head to somebody like me… F-, For the numerous acts if insolence, please forgive me.”

Or lowered his head deeply and apologised. Yeah. It looks like he’s reflected. In that case, I guess I’ll forget that he tried to attack me. And in light of his feelings for Timu, once, just this once, I’ll overlook everything and forgive him.

As they say, “rain hardens the earth” I guess. Looks like I somehow put things in order. Timu and Pervert(Nielsen) still seem to have bad blood with Or, but I’ve managed to calm them down for now. Or’s friends still looked nervous, but after Or and I made-up, they seemed relieved.

Now then, what’s left?

I’m worried about Jessica-chan, so should I head to Headquarters? It was one of my acquaintances who did something stupid, so I need to follow it up. Just as I was thinking that,

“Tilea-sama, good news. It appears that Remilia has not yet escaped from her capture.”

Or’s friend told me something outrageous. And then, I looked at what they were carrying in.

There, laying down was…

Of all things, a beautiful elf, bound up in rope.

GAHOH-! R-, Remilia-san!? WHYY? WHY ARE YOU THERE!?

S-, Speaking of which, Or did mention something about capturing Remilia-san, didn’t he. I’ll bet that Remilia-san was injured in a fight with demons, and after he found her collapsed, he took advantage of it to tie her up. This is exactly why chuunibyou are impossible to handle.

Ababababa, are these guys ultimate idiots?

It’s just one thing after another. To abduct a VIP of the Capital, don’t you guys even understand just what a crazy thing you’ve done!?”

Chapter 23 – “Criminals need to be punished.” (Opening)

“…Girly …into your body until I’m satisfied …sopping mess…”

“What ‘sopping mess’, you goddamned pervertt!”

“GAHAH-!”

I smacked a flying kick into Or’s head. He flew towards the wall, and crashed with a thud. He just fell to the floor.

Huu, I seriously doubted my ears, you know. Are you some middle aged pervert!

I couldn’t hear some parts, but it was obvious that Or was threatening to assault Jessica-chan. Perhaps his friends were shocked at my sudden appearance, because they stared dumbfounded.

Jessica-chan seemed to be a little spaced out. The horrifying tension she had earlier was gone.

I’m sorry. That was scary, right? A bunch of fully-grown men surrounded you in the dozens, and tried to assault you. Just how huge of a trauma is this going to leave…

Jessica-chan, you can feel relieved. Because I’m going to thoroughly punish them.

But still, coincidence or not, I’m glad I made it. A friend of mine was almost hurt, and my acquaintances almost walked down a path of no-return.

Let’s go back in time a little.

After rinsing my mouth, I took off ahead of Timu and the others in order to catch up with Jessica-chan, when my eyes beheld a scene that I couldn’t overlook. A huge group of men were surrounding a girl.

I’ve heard that during major disasters like this, the people start to go mad, but it seems that’s really the case. Even in my old life, whenever there was a natural disaster overseas, there would always be heaps of news about men assaulting women. I guess it really must be some physiological instinct to leave behind children.

What should I do? Right now, that exact thing is happening. Do I save her, or do I go for help?

Or so I was wondering, when I discovered that the victim was none other than Jessica-chan.

Aahh, oh my god…

I was only shocked for a moment. Because upon closer examination, the assailants were also people I knew.

Yeah. Yesterday, these guys ditched guiding us, and then ended up being scolded by me. Or and the rest. Acquaintances of the Praetorian Guard.

Honestly, I was just astonished. Forgetting to guide us is something you can smile away, but to think that they would actually commit a crime like this, is…

So I immediately dropped a flying kick at Or’s head. Of course, I could already tell that Or was as weak as Pervert(Nielsen), so I made sure to go pretty easy on him.

Now then, I have to get these guys to apologise.

After grabbing Or by the neck after he stood up unsteadily, I forcefully dragged him to Jessica-chan.

“Now then. Apologise to Jessica-chan. You’re going to put your head against the ground, and ask for forgiveness.”

“Hahh, hahh, hahh. Guh-, w-, what… hap… pened?”

“Enough! Lower your head!”

“W-, Why must I, to the likes of a hu――”

“Ahh, I’m really irritated now.”

I grabbed Or’s head in a claw, and forced his head down. Or’s whole body trembled.

“T-, Tilea-san.”

“Aah, Jessica-chan, I’m sorry. It must’ve been scary, right?”

“Yes, of course it was scary but, more importantly――”

“I know, I know. After planning on doing something as serious and perverted as that, an apology like this won’t do at all, right?”

“I-, It doesn’t have anything to do with perversion, but…”

“O~kayyy. Sorry, it was indelicate of me to make you remember, wasn’t it. Anyway, shall we have you give him a few punches first?”

I violently thrust Or’s face before Jessica-chan. She looked a little bewildered.

“U-, Um, Tilea-san, we aren’t getting anywhere, so could I leave this place to you? I need to immediately head to Headquarters.”

“Ahh, that’s right. You’re worried about your friend, right? Got it. I’ll make sure to get these guys in your place.”

“Haha… Please do.”

With that, Jessica-chan immediately ran off.

Now then. What to do.

While I was racking my brains on what to do, perhaps Or was finally feeling better, because he began to complain.

“Tilea-sama, why am I being treated this way?”

“Are you seriously asking that? What were you thinking, attacking a girl like that?”

“I do not understand what you are saying. Why mustn’t we attack humans? Are you an ally of the humans, Tilea-sama?”

Honestly, he’s not reflecting at all. Far from it, he’s trying to cover up his sins with chuunibyou. Does this guy even realise how serious this is? In my past life, he’d have definitely been sent to the slammer for attempted gang rape. And what’s more, in this world he might even be executed for it, and yet…

“Or, listen up! You don’t understand what you’ve done at all. You’ve committed an unforgivable sin, you know.”

“C, Certainly, our mission was to annihilate the vampires. I admit that we ran counter to our orders, but we were simply destroying the demons for the sake of the Evil God Army, and for your sake, Tilea-sama.”

HAHH? MY SAKEE?

What ‘my sake’. Of all things, you’re trying to shift the responsibility to me, bozo?

“My god, far from reflecting, you’re even avoiding responsibility? I’m so astounded my mouth can barely close.”

“Tilea-sama, you are being too merciless towards Captain Ortissio.”

One of Or’s friends came to his defence.

Why the fuck are these guys acting like they’re unrelated to this?

“You know, you guys share the same crime for attacking a girl.”

“”T-, That can’t be…””

“Not ‘that can’t be’. You know, I don’t want a bunch like you lot to be hanging around Timu anymore.”

“W-, Whatever do you mean by that?”

“Exactly as it sounds. I’m firing you from your role as Timu’s Praetorian Guard.”

I gestured across the neck.

“W-, What an unbelievable remark… Ever since we concealed ourselves in the Capital, we have been working to the bone for your sake, Tilea-sama!”

“Good work, good work. From now on you can tell that to the prison guard!”

“S-, Such rudeness! Unforgivable!”

Or and his dozens of friends circled around me.

Fumu, did I stir them up a bit much?

Since they’re a bunch who would even assault a little girl, I accidentally snapped.

“Could it be, you plan on attacking me too?”

“…”

They replied with silence. In other words, an affirmative.

Shit, if it was just Or by himself, I’m confident I could beat him, but as you’d expect it’ll be difficult to break through dozens of adult men, huh?

The saving grace is that all of them are the same tier as Pervert(Nielsen). Even still, there’s the threat of numbers, so I might be in a bit of a pinch.

No, no, I’ve even defeated demons before. Why am I saying something so weak for. Scum like this who’ll even assault a girl? I’ll beat them all to pieces!

I slowly approached Or. It looks like they were looking for the right timing to attack. We’re staring each other down.

And then, after glaring at each other for a while…

“Tilea-sama, reporting in. All vampires in the Capital have been annihilated.”

came a familiar voice.

Ooo, Pervert(Nielsen) came. Thank goodness. With this many people, it would’ve been a hard fight even for me. But now that Pervert(Nielsen) and the others have come, we can rival them in numbers. Or and the others have lost the numerical advantage. With this, even they should be resigning themselves.

As expected, Or and the others started to become incredibly flustered. It looks like they’re really regretting doing something so stupid. I turned to Pervert(Nielsen) and called out to him.

“Yeah, everybody, really, well done on exterminating the vampires!”

“Your honoured praise is the acme of joy to us. Although we are incompetent, we are overjoyed to have been of use!”

“Yep, yep, really, you’ve done well. Unlike these guys!”

I turned back to shoot a glare through them. They winced, terribly.

“Mumu! What a dangerous atmosphere. Tilea-sama, what on earth happened?”

“While you guys were busy exterminating vampires, of all things, these guys were attacking a little girl. Unbelievable, right?”

“What! And how was that? Don’t tell me that they were attacking a mere, lone girl?”

“O-, Of course not. We took prisoner of the head of the Public Security Force. And said captain, Remilia, was bound and in our grasp.”

“Mn? Wait. “Was”? Why past tense?”

“W-, Well, that is because after we caught her, somebody interfered, and they are running away right this moment.”

“Fumu, a failure unlike you lot. And why did you catch her? Our military law states that you should have killed her on the spot.”

“T-, That is, well…”

“What? Speak clearly!”

Mn? Mn? Mn? What have these guys been talking about all this time?

They’re speaking so much chuuni that they’ve lost track of the issue here. The problem is that they were about to assault a little girl. About to commit a crime.

“Niel, do you get it? These guys committed a crime, you know.”

“Yes, milady. I certainly do understand. I will question Ortissio to see if he was following the rules of our Camilla Unit. If in his conduct, there was negligence or pride, that is certainly a problem.”

I-, It’s no good. I left the talking to Pervert(Nielsen), but that was a mistake to begin with. If left to Pervert(Nielsen), it wouldn’t be strange even if a talk about a sexual assault turned into a plan to exterminate humanity.

“Y-, You guys, stop right there.  You know, what I want to say is that why did my order, ‘Exterminate the vampires!’ turn into assaulting a little girl. There’s obviously something wrong here!”

“As I said, that was for the sake of your ambitions, Tilea-sama, and…”

“You’re lying!”

“Tilea-sama. Ortissio and the others certainly interpreted your orders broadly, but I can see that their actions were for the sake of the Evil God Army.”

“Aahh~ You don’t get it at all either, Niel. You know, these guys are saying they did everything for my sake, but that’s wrong, isn’t it!”

“It is not. We truly――”

“Enough! Attacking a girl for my sake? Hah! Just hearing that makes me sick. You lot were simply driven by your own desires! It’s clear as day, you know.”

“Uu-, t-, that is…”

I hit the bullseye, and they began to lose their words. Even Pervert(Nielsen) and the others widened their eyes at my words.

“I see. Ortissio, for the sake of your pride, you violated orders. I more or less understand that you attacked the Public Safety Force in retaliation for yesterday. Honestly, of course it makes sense that Tilea-sama is angry!”

“C-, Certainly if I said that it had nothing to do with pride, I would be lying. But annihilating humans has no demerits for the Evil God Army. Yet despite that, Tilea-sama insulted us, and then forced us to bow to the likes of a human!”

Or got excited and then started telling at Pervert(Nielsen). Honestly, how unsightly.

“That’s right. And then in your anger, you were about to attack me too, right?”

“Wha-!? Is this true, you curs! Of all things… HAVE YOU NO SHAAAMEEE!?”

Pervert(Nielsen) gripped Or’s collars in a rage. Fumu. It’s rare to hear Pervert(Nielsen) say something decent.

Pervert(Nielsen) looked ready to attack Or at any time. I’m a little happy that he’s so angry for me. But still, Or and the rest really used a dirty hand.

To begin with, the Praetorian Guard are a gathering of Timu’s fans. The only reason they’re supporting me is because I’m Timu’s older sister. You could say that they were being polite with me because I was the relative of their beloved idol. Or jabbed at that point, and was trying to overthrow me using it.

In other words, a ‘Timu is my number one, so what the hell is this guy? Don’t act so full of yourself!’ sort of thing? I bet Or and the others weren’t fond of me to begin with.

Timu supported me, so I turned into the ‘Evil God’ and the symbol of this group. But from Or’s group’s point of view, I bet they’re thinking ‘Are you misunderstanding something! Step down!’ and the like. It’s not as though I cant understand their feelings as fans.

But that doesn’t mean that what they’ve done can be forgiven.

What should I do? How can I reform this self-centred lot?

While my head was hurting from thinking, Or and his lot were trying really hard to gain allies. He had gotten heated up, and had drawn near Pervert(Nielsen).

“I know that you and Camilla-sama were defeated by the Evil God. But, just because of one or two defeats, why must we fall under her banner? This is not like you, Squad Captain. If we group together, even if she is the Evil God――”

What’s this? What’s this? What they’re saying to get followers is way too stupid. So just because I’m staying quiet and listening, they think they can say whatever they want, huh! Trying to get the Praetorian Guard to join together and beat me up, huh! No matter how silly Pervert(Nielsen) might be, even he wouldn’t do something so injust. How on earth would anybody listen to the words of cowards like you.

“What unbelieve fooli-… Just those words alone are worth certain death. And Ortissio. You seem to be misunderstanding. Even if all of us attacked at once, we would still not reach the soles of her feet. Tilea-sama’s mighty power is in another dimension to ours.”

“The Capital Concealment Unit doesn’t understand her mighty power at all.”

“Yeah, yeah. Tilea-sama should just use her 『Baban Stresh』 to tear them to pieces.”

“Honestly, Ortissio is such a fool. Tilea-sama should give him a taste of hell with her Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven secret techniques.”

The people on Pervert(Nielsen)’s side were taking no heed of Or’s words. A little, or rather, a lot of chuuni lines were mixed in there, but anyway, they were furiously condemning Or and the others.

In other words, everybody is astounded by Or’s bullshit. Yeah. I’m glad you all understand what I’m saying. But you know, please stop asking for me to punish him with ‘Baban Stresh’. Or rather, please forget I ever mentioned that. Why is it that they all still freaking remember that one time?

Phew, well whatever. It’s obvious how everyone feels now. With this atmosphere, I’m sure Or realises just how stupid a thing he’s said.

“Or, you can tell just how astounded everybody is with you, right? Reflect on just how absurd your words have been.”

The people around me all nodded strongly. Perhaps they now realised just how stupid they had been, Or’s group all had pale complexions. It looks like after everybody condemned them, they finally realised just how grave a thing they had done.

All that’s left is to decide on how to settle this, but…

“You lot, what is the meaning of this!”

Oohh, Timu and Myuu have arrived. With this, everybody’s here.

Chapter 22 – Jessica and Remilia’s Rescue

I was watching from the shadows. The demons who seemed to be Ortissio’s subordinates, were tying up the unconscious Remilia-sama.

What are they going to do to her?

I’m only getting bad feelings about this. I have to save her soon… But with my power, I can’t do a thing to them. I should go call for help from Headquarters. It’s so close. More importantly, I have to get treatment for Lyris-chan soon!

But will I make it?

It’s quite possible that Remilia-sama will be killed before I get help. If I go to Headquarters first, it’ll be too late. If I could somehow contact them immediately, that would be best but…

I know! I can’t use it, but maybe Lyris-chan can use magic to contact somebody in the Headquarters. I rushed over to where Lyris-chan was hiding.

“Lyris-chan, I’m sorry for bothering you while you’re hurt like this.”

“W-, What’s up?”

“Can you use communication magic to contact the Headquarters?”

“Hahh, hahh, let’s see. At this distance, maybe… It’ll be a bit tough, but I’ll do it.”

Lyris-chan looked to be suffering a lot. Aah, if only I could I could use it. I bit my lip in frustration.

I’m sorry for making you do this, even though you’re already in danger.

While I was hating myself due to the heavy wounds she had, she had finished chanting the spell.

“Hahh, hahh, I… reached them.”

“Thank you, Lyris-chan.”

With this, they should know about the danger Remilia-sama is in, as well as Lyris-chan and the Decarabia[Demon Destroying Pentagram] member in the hut.

All that’s left is to find a way to rescue Remilia-sama, but…

Alright. Let’s go with hit and run. I’ll move about as I fire magical bullets to draw their attention. In the meanwhile, I’ll wait for reinforcements from either Headquarters, or Tilea-san.

Tilea-san should be just about done with the demon chief, so she should be heading this way.

Well then, time to take action. I left Lyris-chan’s side, and moved to the alley where the demons were. And then after hiding in their blind spot and finishing a chant, I created a magic circle.

“Kilofire![Smallest Flame Spell!]”

A flame collided with Ortissio. Of course, Ortissio took no damage. The purpose was to draw his attention.

“Tsk, who is it!”

He glared around with an enraged expression.

Uu-, w-, what pressure!?

I feel like I’ll faint at any moment.

I can’t. If I faint now, Remilia-sama and Lyris-chan will be in danger. I concentrated power into my stomach, and fired myself up.

Huu, this next part is critical. I created delayed magical bullets. And then I immediately moved. The magical bullets continued to fire in a way that concealed my location.

But delayed magic is difficult. It’s taking quite a bit of control, so the power of my magical bullets is sharply decreased. Far from a demon, I bet even a beastman or well-trained human could ignore them.

But that doesn’t matter. After all, even if I was firing these at full strength, they wouldn’t even scratch a demon. I learnt that too well during my fight with Arcune. It’s fine if I just get their attention and buy time until reinforcements arrive.

After that, I concentrated on the details and continued to fire.

“Fuck! Who’s been doing this! Who’s been firing these shitty magical bullets! If this fly keeps buzzing around, how am I going to disgrace Remilia! You lot, find it and kill it!”

“”Sir.””

Ortissio’s subordinates scattered in all directions.

Alright, part one of the plan, success!

From now on their vigilance is going to be strict, so I need to be even more careful. I continued to use delayed magic until the reinforcements came. Will it be troops from Headquarters first, Tilea-san first, or will I be found and killed first?

I continued to have success for a while, but…

“Where? Where the hell is it? They’re getting in the way of my fun time!”

Eventually Ortissio lost his patience, and seemed to snap. Now he was beginning to search himself. From his vicious gaze, I felt like he wouldn’t miss a single mistake.

T-, This bloodlust.

I can’t fire any more magical bullets like this. It was hard with just his subordinates, and I was already walking a tightrope. But Ortissio is on a different level. There’s no way that I wouldn’t be found if he was actually trying.

I curled up in my hiding place.

“Shit, shit, SHITTT! Where the fuck is it! Alright, I don’t know who you are, but come out now. If you don’t, I’ll kill Remilia!”

The moment he yelled that, he returned to Remilia-sama’s side. It looks like he figured out that I was on her side. At this rate, she’ll be killed.

Should I fire another magical bullet to catch his attention?

Uu, it feels like he’ll definitely find me. But if I just watch, Remilia-sama will definitely be killed.

Then it’s all for nothing now. I made up my mind, and gathered mana to fire a magical bullet.

“HYAHAHA! You idiot, I’ve got you now! I saw through the mana fluctuations. There!”

He found me!?

Ortissio headed my way with a mad smile.

Hii! Scary!

I used body reinforcement magic and ran away at full speed.

“Hah! Geez, so the culprit was a human brat! You lot, block this cheeky brat’s escape!”

“”Sir.”

This is bad. His subordinates were chasing after me. Their bodies are all clearly stronger than mine. The distance was clearly closing.

“Stop running about!”

Ortissio fired a magic bullet.

I immediately moved to avoid. The high speed magic bullet just passed by my, and crashed into a wall in front. The wall tragically evaporated.

W-, What power…

A magic bullet that he lightly fired probably outclassed my magical bullet by dozens of times.

I-, I’m scared. What’s going to happen to me if I get caught…

I ran desperately. Fear and utmost anxiety caused my throat to parch. The overwhelming violence that approached from behind was sending fear rushing through my body. At the moment, I’m only just barely staying conscious.

Like that, I continued to run in fear of Ortissio, but eventually I hit a dead end. Even if I tried to escape, dozens of his subordinates were surrounding me. It’s hopeless.

“Heh, finally caught you. A little human DARES TO MAKE FOOLS OF US, HUUUUUUUUH!”

Ortissio slammed his fist into the ground in rage. The ground split, and loudly crumbled.

W-, What a punch!

If an attack like that even grazes me, I’ll lose my life for sure. I gulped, and keenly felt the cold sweat running down my back.

Aahh, are the reinforcements not here yet? Just how long is it going to take?

Neither reinforcements from Headquarters, nor Tilea-san are here yet. I collapsed against the wall, and slid to the floor.

“Girly, don’t think that you’ll die an easy death! The debt you owe for making fools of demons, I’ll be beating into your body until I’m satisfied. I’ll turn you into a broken, sopping mess.”

“Hii!”

The pressure caused a shriek to escape my lips. My body trembled in fear of the violence that was sure to come.

Aahh, somebody, somebody please, please save mee.

Tilea-san, Tilea-san, please――

“What ‘sopping mess’, you goddamned pervertt!”

“GAHAH-!”

While I was stricken with despair, a familiar voice called out.

As expected of Tilea-san. All of the seriousness just blew away.

Ortissio was hit by her flying kick, and crashed into the wall.

Chapter 21 – Jessica and Remilia’s Crisis

Hahh, hahh, hahh. My breathing is rough.

With Lyris over my shoulder, I’m fleeing towards towards Headquarters. At first I was going to talk Tilea-san into defeating the enemy.
But then Lyris-chan was heavily injured, and the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Her injury turned into a race against time.

Using a gap in the enemy’s vigilance, or rather, using Tilea-san as a decoy, I hurriedly ran away with Lyris-chan.

As I was running, I felt the enemy pursue, so I screamed out “Tilea-san, I’ll leave the rest to you,” and drew attention to her instead. The dumbfounded expression she made was tragic, the very face of somebody abandoned.

When I saw that, I felt a little guilty, but the enemy turned his focus on her, just as planned.

“You hear that? Jessica-chan, come baaaaaaaaack! Apparently even running is pointless, you know, so let’s fight together. At this rate, he’ll pick us off one by one, you know.”

Yes, I hear you just fine.

Along the way, I heard Tilea-san call for help, but I ignored it.

Tilea-san, I’m sorry. I need to get Lyris-chan treated even a moment sooner. Please do something about him on your own. It’ll be an easy victory, since it’s you.

I pretended not to hear as I hurried to Headquarters.

“Hahh, hahh. J-, Jessica, I-, I’m fine… S-, Save your friend!”

“What are you saying! If we don’t heal your injuries soon, you might even die! And it’ll be fine, since it’s Tilea-san.”

“Hahh? W-, What the hell are you saying! Hahh, hahh, with a Malferand as the enemy, a normal person c-… can’t do a… hahh, hahh, t-, that woman’s gunna die.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. More importantly than something like that, you need to worry about yourself.”

“S-, ‘Something like that’? …Jessica, were you always this kinda person?”

“Haha… Anyway, it’ll be fine, I say.”

“G-, Geez… What the fuck…”

This is bad. Lyris-chan’s voice was faint. I think she’s getting a lot weaker. Her pulse isn’t regular, and if things get any worse…

Kuh-! I have to hurry!

I chanted a speed spell, and rushed forth. Almost there. We’re almost there.

“REEEMIIIIIIILIIIIIIIAAAAA-SAAAAAAAAAAAN! SAAAAVEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE!”

While I was rushing to my destination, I heard Tilea-san’s voice again.

What a loud voice. Even though we’re quite a distance away, to think that I’d still be able to hear her…

I bet that she just screamed without magic but… when it comes to Tilea-san, pretty much anything feels possible now. I wonder if that guy’s eardrums haven’t burst.

Or rather, Tilea-san, are you still not fighting? Even though just a single hit with a kukanomi or a cross or pretty much anything would do the job…

If Tilea-san still hasn’t busted out her specialty yet, it probably means that the enemy still hasn’t really attacked yet.

“Hahh, hahh… T-, That’s bad. Just now, that woman called for help. H-, Hurry.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

“O-Oi. Hahh, hahh, s-, she even used magic to amplify her voice, yanno. T-, That’ll just call more enemies to her. She’s in danger.”

There’s nothing more I could hope for. I’ll have Tilea-san beat them all. I ignored Lyris-chan’s cry of worry, and made haste.

Just as we approached the neighbourhood block that the Headquarters was in, I felt mana all around us.

“Hahh, hahh, hahh, t-, they’re coming, from a-, ahead…”

“Yeah. I know, Lyris-chan. I’ll keep watch.”

After gently laying Lyris-chan to the ground, I hid in the shadow of the building and carefully observed. I could hear the clang of metal weapons, and the sounds of magic bullets exchanged.

They seem to be in battle. One side seems to be the Public Safety Force, led by Remilia-sama. She was personally wielding her sword, and cutting at the enemy. And apparently the enemy were demons. The enemy parried her strikes, and accurately cut down the Safety Force members.

Amazing…

Every one of them was without a doubt in a different league to Arcune and the others. Even though the Safety Force members were trying their best too, one after another, they were mown down. The demons had sustained quite a few wounds from Remilia-sama, but all of them were standing.

And then…

Eventually, every Public Safety Force member was defeated, save for Remilia-sama.

“KUHAAHAAHAHAHA! It’s finally just you, Remilia Hassen!”

The demon who seemed to be the captain sneered loudly at Remilia-sama. She glared at him hatefully.

“Kuh-! You bastarddd! I’ll kill you and avenge my men!”

“Hmph. You guys sure gave me a heap of trouble. But you’re the last one. I’ll definitely get my revenge!”

“That’s my line. In order to lure us outside the capital, you acted like a decoy, so how can you be talking about revenge!”

“DEECOYYY? Don’t tell me that you think this uproar is our doing?”

“So barefaced. Your plan was to lure us out, so that your main force could attack the capital!”

“…Are you lumping our elite unit, WITH THOSE GARBAGE FAAKEEESS!?”

“Silence! All you demons are the same. All of you who rebel against the Royal Family are unforgivable!”

“Honestly… To irritate me to this extent is… Because of you lot, my unit suffered enormous shame before our master, you know.”

“Captain Ortissio, let us repay our humiliation with death to all people of this nation.”

“Stupid. For such a stupid reason, do you really think I’ll let you kill our citizens!”

“STUPID YOU SAYY!? Re~mi~li~a. I will absolutely tear you limb from limb!”

Both of them were giving off incredible bloodlust――

The two of them pounced at each other at the same time. Remilia-sama, Ortissio, and the other demons all began to fight again.

Swords clash with swords, and magic bullets and magical bullets flew through the air.

But, she was outnumbered. Remilia-sama’s outlook worsened over time. Trying to make a comeback, Remilia-sama used her secret technique, but she wasn’t able to kill them…

Eventually, Ortissio and the others captured Remilia-sama.

“KYAAHAHHAHAH! Hahh, hahh, that fucking took a while. Remilia, don’t think you’ll have a simple death. I’m going to deefinitely show you hell.”

Ortissio’s crazed voice, resounded through the area. This is bad. At this rate, Remilia-sama will be in danger.

“Lyris-chan, please hide here, okay?”

“Hahh, hahh, o-, oi, don’t do the… u-, unreasonable.”

I moved out to save Remilia-sama.

■　◇　■　◇

“UEHH, Timu, a bit of his juice went in my mouth. Hey, do you think I’ll be okay even if I get demon in my mouth? Do you think I’ll get the runs? Peh! Peh! I feel so grosss.”

“Aaaah, my poor Oneesama! Please have some water. Please rinse your mouth with the water I created.”

“Oohh, magic really is convenient, huh. Thanks! Gargle, gargle. Peh! Peh!”

“Oneesama, how do you feel?”

“Fuii. A-, a bit better…”

“My deepest apologies. That blot of scum was the worst amongst all my creations.”

“Hm? Yeah, he certainly was the worst. Timu, look carefully. This tragedy around us was all his doing.”

“To eat so messily like this, even vulgarity should have its limits. I can understand why you punished him.”

“Right? Honestly, what a horrible guy. Young, old, men, women, he really just killed them all. Aahh, I feel sick.”

“Absolutely preposterous that he laid a hand on your belongings without permission. Honestly, I should have been the one to punish him.”

“…Y-, Yeah.”

Chapter 20 – “Don’t look down on humanity’s knowledge.”

I-, I’ll just tell things straight!

Just as I was thinking of fighting together with her, Jessica-chan suddenly told me “Tilea-san, I’ll leave the rest to you” and left me here. I faintly knew what she meant, but I was trying to escape from reality. If only it had just been hypnotism, or she had just happened to be running at high speeds…

Right now I’m faced with a most terrifying reality; a 1v1 with a demon.

Aahh, I never even imagined that I would be stuck duelling the chief of the demons. Even if I have to fight him, I was hoping that at least Jessica-chan would be here to support me with magic.

Wahhh, to think that she abandoned me…

“Fwo fwoh, simply useless struggling. I already remember her mana. If I teleport, I shall catch up in a jiffy.”

“You hear that? Jessica-chan, come baaaaaaaaack! Apparently even running is pointless, you know, so let’s fight together. At this rate, he’ll pick us off one by one, you know.”

I shouted towards the back of the running Jessica-chan, but she didn’t even turn to look at me.

I see! Maybe she’s escaping with a wounded person, which is why she’s desperately ignoring me…

“Fwo fwo fwoh, humans sure are cruel. It looks like you’re just a sacrificial pawn.”

“I-, I’m not a pawn, okay. Jessica-chan trusts in me, which is why she left me to take care of it.”

He kind of pissed me off, so I accidentally spoke my mind. I don’t want to hear a demon talk about cruelty. Just what do you understand about Jessica-chan!

Yeah. I’m ashamed that I ever thought that she abandoned me. Jessica-chan is just desperately trying to save her injured friend. She was badly hurt in her fight with this guy, and if she doesn’t get healed soon, she might even die. That’s why Jessica believed in my power(knowledge) and left for Headquarters first.

And also, Jessica-chan is still only fourteen. Basically a middle schooler. I’d be unforgivably pathetic if I was relying on a child for backup. If you include my old life, I’m already way too old to be acting like this.

Y-, Yeah. This is for the best. While I buy some time, Jessica-chan should just run.

“I-, I won’t let you past here. I-, I’m gunna stop you!”

“Fwo, a human like you, is going to stop a demon like me? Hmph, acting quite conceited for a member of the weakest race!”

“Just because we’re the weakest, doesn’t mean we can’t beat the strongest!”

“Fwo fwoh, what a saucy girl. My injuries are healed now. I can catch up whenever I want to those two. Very well. This old man will play with you.”

Saying that, the Chief of the Demons(strongest race) suddenly approached me. I immediately produced a kukanomi.

What do I do?

He’s totally different from everyone else so far. He’s like the Royal Guard of the Demon King. Even if I just mindlessly throw kukanomi like before, it’ll be hard to defeat him. He might be able to dodge, and if I miss his vitals, that opens myself up for a counter. Strategy is important here.

Mn!? Hang on. To begin with, will kukanomi even work against him? No, I’ll have to believe in it. Or rather, if it doesn’t work, I have no options left. If I watch for an opening, and throw them in succession, I might have a chance to beat him.

Alright. For now, I need the first shot to hit.

To begin with… Ummm~ What to d――wai-, sto――he’s getting closer and closer as I think.

“S-, Stay away! A-, Are you fine with this? I have seven thousand subordinates!”

“Fwo fwo fwoh. What, a joke all of a sudden?”

Kuh-! It might have been a snap judgement, but maybe I overdid it with seven thousand. Ah-, but it looked like he stopped moving at least.

“Y-, Yeah. But even if seven thousand was a joke, I still have five hundred of them. Are you fine with this? If something happens to me, don’t think they’ll take it lying down.”

“Fwo fwo, even if you did have five hundred subordinates, so what? Come on. Bring them out. I shall make prey of all of them.”

“Y-, You’re really fine with this? A-, All of them are a match for a thousand, you know. Y-, You’ll be really beaten up, okay. All of them have 30,000 mana.”

“Fwo fwo, amusing, amusing. So if the subordinates have 30,000, then how much does their master have?”

“Eh-!? M-, Me? Y-, Yeah. O-, One hundred thousand.”

“Fwo fwo, if you’re going to lie, then do it after studying. The mana levels you’re uttering are completely at random.”

T-, This is bad. I meant to buy time until I thought of a strategy, but I was flustered, so I was completely confused. It sounds bad to say this myself, but it was ridiculous to say that every member of the Praetorian Guard was a match for a thousand. Even I’m astounded by what I’m saying.

“Now then, is the sideshow over? In that case, it’s time to dance.”

Flames appeared at his fingertips, and they began to scorch the ground.

“D-, dowah-, wah-! S-, Stop that.”

I ended up moving in dance steps.

“Come on, come on! More! Dance more! Your feet are going to disappear, you know.”

“Uwah-! Wah-! W-, Whoa-!”

Again and again, flames sprayed from his fingers. The ground beneath me started to fill with holes, and rocks and rubble began to evaporate.

I-, If that hits me, not even bone will remain…

But this guy is aiming to just miss me on purpose. I’ll bet he’s trying to prolong this to scare me.

“So cowardly!”

“Fwo fwoh, of course. To we demons, the strongest race, humans are nothing more than ants to crush as toys.”

Dammit, he’s totally making fun of us!

Just watch. Just watch as I show you the power of human knowledge. I’ve got my secret weapon, the kukanomi, to turn the tables on you. I’ll make sure you fully taste the weakness of vampires.

But, in more practical terms, what should I do?

He keeps spraying flames, so I can’t grasp the timing. Should I close the gap in one go?

I decided to move backwards.

“Fwo fwoh, you shall not escape.”

With that, flames appeared at the wall that I was running to.

I immediately tried to turn left, but,

“Fwo fwoh. Just where are you going? Take this! And this!”

Dowah-! Stop doing such scary things!

That bastard created a flame ring around me to trap me.

A-, At this rate, it’s just a matter of time until I burn to death. The one saving grace is that he’s still playing, so I won’t be killed right away. But I won’t know when he’ll change his mind. If he does, I’ll be turned to ash in an instant.

Kuh-! What do I do to break out of this mess?

I guess there are three options.

① The cute and beautiful Tilea-chan suddenly thinks of a counterattack
② Her friends will come and save her
③ Reality is cruel. She burns to death ♪

Hmm~mm, I really can’t leave it to anyone else, so it has to be ①. I’ll come up with a ground-breaking idea to break past this flame wall.

-poku poku poku … buu buu-

I-, It’s not good. I can’t think of anything. All that comes to mind is charging through it. If I try and break past this with effort and guts, I’ll just turn into soot.

C-, Can’t be helped. It’s ② then. I hate leaving problems to others, but you can’t break through a crisis without sacrifice. I’ll rely on my allies.

Ummm~ allies, allies… Jessica-chan is in the middle of bringing her friend to Headquarters. Myuu is guarding Timu.

Which means…

I breathed in deep, and then…

“REEEMIIIIIIILIIIIIIIAAAAA-SAAAAAAAAAAAN! SAAAAVEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE!”

It’s a pinch, a pinch, a huge pinch!

Your future girlfriend is about to fall into the hands of the demons. Please get on your white horse and ride in here. My shojo, my doutei, I’ll give you anything, so please.

Or so I prayed, as I screamed loudly.

“W-, What!? Why are you suddenly screaming. I thought my eardrums were going to burst.”

Huh? Did I maybe anger him?

Up until a moment ago, he was having fun like a cat tormenting a mouse, but now he looked a little angry.

“Honestly, even if you call for help, none will come. I have already checked to find that nobody was around. And even if help did come, they would simply have the tables turned on them by me.”

“T-, That can’t be…”

“Hahh~ Honestly, my eardrums are crying. Impertinent for a human. Aahh, I’m done playing. You can just burn!”

With that, the flame walls began to constrict around me.

Awawawah, w-what do I do?

I-, It really is ③ after all, huh~

WAHH, WAHHH, hic-, UUWAHHHH, I DON’T WANNA DIEEE! SOMEBODY SAVE MEEE!

In panic, I ran this way and that.

“Fwo fwo fwoh, die in fear! Let me hear a good voice!”

“YOUUU! WHAAT AARE YOUU DOINGG TO ONEEESAMAAAAAA!”

“Heh?”

Just as I was lamenting the cruelty of reality, suddenly, a voice from behind me…

T-, This voice is… Timu!?

UOHHHHHHHH! It’s ②! IT’S ②!!!!!!

Nice! Super nice timing!

If Timu is here, then Myuu is here too. Thank goodness. A veteran warrior has come rushing in.

But still, Timu’s enraged expression is…

I’m sure she’s super mad because she thought I was about to be killed. She’s a good girl, so that’s quite like her. She looks like she’ll attack him this very instant.

But, she can’t. It’s dangerous. I’m happy that she’s worried for me, but let’s leave it to Myuu.

Mn!? That damned demon chief!

He suddenly extinguished his flames at their arrival.

This is a chance to attack!

I don’t know why he’s all confused, but while he’s dazed I’ll smash his face with a kukanomi. I took a kukanomi in hand.

B-, But will this actually work? I can’t shake the feeling that this won’t work on a demon chief.

I know! Here’s my counterattack plan! I crushed a kukanomi, and squeezed the juice all over the cross. That’s right. With this, I get both the attack power of the cross, as well as the effect of the kukanomi. It multiplies the effectiveness.

Huhu, this should have at least doubled the damage I’ll deal. Even this guy won’t be a problem.

“I was wondering why I heard Oneesama’s voice, so I came here to investigate… and the outrageousness I find!”

“Wha-? Hah-? Oneesama?? What do you mean by――I-, I simply, for the Esteemed――”

“I am not listening to excuses. Nor will I have mercy. I will punish you myself. I shall destroy you to the last cinder!”

Alright. This is it. I’ll get him while he’s distracted by Timu. Taking advantage of the situation, I dashed into his opening.

Heh! The chief of the demons looks scary on the outside. Of course, not just his appearance. His power, his cruelty, all of it is fit for the title ‘strongest demon’.

But please don’t look down on humanity too much. Humans might be weak, but we bridge over our shortcomings with knowledge. Don’t think that humans will just take things standing down.

With the kukanomi’d cross in my hand, I thrust my fist vigorously into his face.

“I’m coming for you, ‘Strongest'(Demon Chief)!――My ‘Weakest’… might shake you up a little!”

My fist slammed into his face.

――An instant. In that instant, I felt a crack against my fist, and then something hit my face with a splatter.

“Heh?”

Huh? What is this sensation? What is this thing writhing in front of me?

There before my eyes… was the now mince-meat corpse, of the half-destroyed demon chief. The scene of his meat chunks convulsing after death, was graphic.

HE-, HE SPLATTERRRRED!

Eh-? Eh-? N-, No matter what, aren’t you a bit too shaken up!? This might have been a plan I came up with myself, but it’s SUPER EFFECTIVEEE!

Eh-? Then, could it be that the stuff on my face is flesh? I brought my hand to my face, and pulled it off.

UWAHHH, IT’S ALL STICKY AND GROSS. -BLARGH!-

buu buu is the sound of an incorrect answer or failure

“I’m coming for you, ‘Strongest'(Demon Chief)!――My ‘Weakest'(Knowledge)… might shake you up a little!”
is a parody of Kamijou Touma’s quote (when fighting Accelerator)
“Grit your teeth, ‘Strongest’――My (attack that you called) ‘weakest’… might shake you up a little!”

Well, it hardly matters at this point, but this Bebe guy actually talks with an old man accent. It doesn’t really matter, but how many of you think I should go back and give him a ridiculous “Transylvanian” accent?
