TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.
===
I should use the chance when she didnât pay any attention to me to escape from this place.
Mother was currently looking at the situation on the Hero side along with that frog witch.
They didnât seem to care about the situation on the human side.
ăAh, the Light God from Desert got defeated.ă
My mother, Datie, bitterly shouted.
Upon looking into the mirror, the light god of the desert got knocked out in one hit.
ăGood grief⊠he might not die but what in the world heâs doing⊠I guess Iâll have to retrieve him later. Gerogero.ă
The frog witch spoke while shaking her head.
ăThe other gods made me anxious too. Iâll be more reassured if Alphos participate too.ă
ăEh?!!! You invited the most handsome god in heaven, Alphos-sama too?!!!ă
Mother looked really delighted upon hearing Alphosâ name.
ăYeah, I invited him too. Is something the matter?ă
The frog witch replied so while glaring at my mother.
ăN-No!! Not at all!! Ohohohohoho!!ă
My mother revealed an ugly smile on her face. That smile was ugly enough to send a chill running down my spine.
Iâm actually quite familiar with the God of Song and Arts; Alphos.
I mean, how I couldnât when he was the god who was painted the most by mother?
In addition, all those pictures had traces of dried, strange liquid on them.
ăBut, Heqat-sama. What do you mean by feeling at ease if Alphos-sama is coming too? That personage shouldâve nothing to do with battle. Heâs so handsome but, he doesnât seem like a strong person.ă
I agree with my mother.
I heard that Alphos was a god who spent his time lazing around while singing a song.
Didnât seem like a strong person at all.
ăHumph. I guess your eyes are just knotholes. Well, heâs always been playing around for the last hundreds of years. And his appearance suggests that he has nothing to do with battle. But, that man is really powerful. Definitely more powerful than any of the gods who come to this place.ă
ăEh? Is that so?ă
ăYeah. His image in the last hundreds of years might be that of a flippant god who loves playing around but, he used to be hailed as the strongest Holy Knight who served Oudith. That Holy Knight is the real him. And maybe, his actual combat prowess is far more powerful than Oudith. Gerogerogero.ă
My mother was at loss for words upon hearing that remark.
âDark Knight; Kuroki
We and Alphos co were confronting each other above the cloud.
The beauties on Alphosâ ship were sneering at us.
They were clearly ridiculing us.
Honestly, I felt really helpless when these beauties were sneering at me.
Alphos, who had such beauties waiting upon him, was smiling gently toward me.
But, it could be seen from his eyes that he definitely was not smiling at all.
I wonder what makes this pinnacle of normies firing his arrow toward me?
ăIs something the matter, Alphos-sama? We should go back soon since the hero and co battle is about to begin.ă
The beauty by Alphosâ side asked such a question.
This beauty was still very young, and flat. She might even be mistaken as a boy.
ăMy adorable Hyashis. That one over there is far more interesting than the hero.ă
ăHee, is that so, Alphos-sama. As for me, Iâm far more interested in the hero than this Dark Knight though.ă
Was she a member of the Dryad tribe? A green-haired elf said so as she approached Alphos.
ăYouâre such a sweety, Daphne. Could it be that youâre far more interested to that hero than to me?ă
ăGeez, youâre such a tease, Alphos-sama!! Youâre the only one for me. Maybe all of us is far more interested to the Hero than the Dark Knight.ă
The elf called Daphne said so as she looked at the other women.
ăIs it true?ă
The beauties regrouped to discuss something upon hearing Alphosâ question.
ăYes. The handsome hero is much better than that Dark Knight. We wonât force Alphos-sama if youâre more interested in the Dark Knight though.ă
ăThatâs right. Thereâs no reason for us to be interested in the subordinate of that ugly demon king~.ă
ăAs the demon kingâs subordinate. Iâm sure that the face beneath that helmet is so ugly as well.ă
ăYes. Ugly people should just disappear from this world.ă
ăHow about you lift that helmet and let us to see that ugly face of yours.ă
ăStop it, I rather not see an ugly face.ă
The beauties were sneering at me as they spoke.
To be honest, I really wanted to leave this place when I received such a one-sided judgment.
Since Iâm not as handsome as Reiji, there was no way I could lift this helmet of mine.
ăWhatâs wrong with those women head⊠for them to make such baseless assumption.ă
ăWait, calm down, Kuna!!ă
I stopped Kuna who was about to jump from behind.
I didnât want her to make an enemy of those women.
I donât mind if they hate me.
Well, not that I wanted them to hate me.
Maybe I should talk back a little bit but, I guess Iâm no match against that many mouths.
Dammit, my eyes were sweating.
ăHey, look over there, isnât that child look like the splitting image of demon king?ă
Suddenly, one of the beauties pointed her finger toward Polen.
ăEh!?ă
I could hear Polenâs bewildered voice from behind me.
ăYOUâRE RIGHT, THEYâRE SPLITTING IMAGE OF EACH OTHER!!ă
ăYup, just like that pig-like demon king!! Everyone look, we got a pig here!!ă
ăThe pig over there. You must be the children of the demon king right? such an ugly child you are. I might kill myself if Iâm born with such ugly face.ă
ăYeah. I wonder why youâre still alive.ă
ăHow ugly. I donât know whether she really is his daughter or not, but sheâs still related to the demon king. If that was the case, her personality must be rotten too.ă
ăShe must be born from filth. Just go die already.ă
The beauties were sneering at Polen.
ăAwwwâŠă
ăY-Your Highness?ă
I could feel that Putina was patting on Polen who was on the verge of crying on her back in order to pacify the latter.
I spread my mantle in order to hide Polen from the beautyâs sight.
And thenâ
ăSHUT YOUR UGLY MOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH!!!ă
I couldnât hide my shock since I shouted louder than I expected.
The beauties who kept chirping until just a moment ago were looking at me with surprised look on their faces.
Why are they looking at me like that?
Well it didnât matter as it was too late to stop now.
ăYOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER HIGHNESS POLEN AT ALL! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER KINDNESS!! DO YOU KNOW THAT SHE BRAVED HERSELF TO JUMP INTO THE SEA AND KILL A KRAKEN DESPITE BEING UNABLE TO SWIM HERSELF TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHOâRE LOOKING UP TO HER!!!!ă
I pointed my sword toward those beauties.
ăNEVERTHELESS!!! IF YOU REALLY MEAN WHAT YOU SAY!!! THIS ONE WONâT BE MERCIFUL EVEN IF YOUâRE A WOMAN!!!ă
Black flame exploded from my body the moment I declared it.
ăNOOOOOOO!!! SAVE ME, ALPHOS-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!ă
Those ugly-hearted beauties were running around in panic on the deck of the ship.
Their act was almost to the point of being comical.
It seems that I accidentally unleashed fear on them.
I felt Kunaâs shock too.
In addition, Glorious was also looking back at me with a worried look in her eyes.
ăMaster KurokiâŠă
Polen was calling my name while sobbing.
ăYouâre going to hurt my adorable brides? Thatâll trouble me, you know. If that really happens, Iâve no choice but to become your opponent.ă
Alphosâ body was wrapped in light as he said so with a smile on his face.
When the light had vanished, Alphosâ body had already been covered in snow-white armour.
ăNo way? For Alphos-sama to take his Holy Knight formâŠă
ăI heard the rumour about this but, this is the first time I saw him in this figureâŠă
ăAlphos-sama is, going to fight?ă
ăHeâs going to fight for us, just like a knightâŠă
ăHOW LOVELY!! HE CHOSE TO ASSUME HIS SEALED HOLY KNIGHTâS FORM TO PROTECT US FROM THE DARK KNIGHT!!!ă
ăALPHOS-SAMA, BEAT THAT DARK KNIGHT!!ă
ăYES, BEAT THAT DARK KNIGHT, ALPHOS-SAMA!!!ă
The beauties became mesmerized upon seeing Alphos figure in snow-white Holy Knight armour.
But, Alphosâ gaze was looking at me, ignoring those noisy women.
ăMUSE!! MY SWORD!!ă
ăYes, Alphos. I shall prepare it immediately.ă
The beauty called Muse came with a sword and gave it to Alphos.
ăThanks Muse. NOW COME, WHITE HOLY DRAGON, VALJINIAS!!!ă
After Alphos shouted, the deck of the ship opened and a dragon with snow-white scales jumped out from inside.
It was quite a big one. Its body size is comparable to Glorious.
ăToou!!ă
Alphos leapt upward and landed on the back of the dragon called Valjinias.
ăHey Dark Knight. My Valjinias, and your black dragon. Shall we do this, mano o mano? I donât want any other factors from hindering my victory after all.ă
Alphos unsheathed his sword and pointed its emerald sword blade toward me.
ăAgreed. I shall accept your challenge.ă
I nodded.
ăKurokiâŠă
Kuna spoke with a worried look on my face.
ăItâs okay, Kuna. Can you wait below along with Her Highness?ă
I caressed Kunaâs cheeks.
ăMater KurokiâŠă
ăDonât worry, Your Highness. Iâll be back immediately.ă
I said so to Polen who was still crying.
Polen had always been staying in her room until lately.
She had to gather her courage just to leave her room.
I had no idea why Polen shut herself in her room.
But still, Polen had finally stepped out of her room.
So anyone who had no idea about her situation had no right to laugh at her.
Wasnât this meant that I had to win this fight?
Moreover, this guy was really a skilled sharpshooter.
Anyhow, I still had to beat him.
Thus, I glared at Alphos who had already been clad in his snow-white holy knightâs armour.
