“You’re Shion?”
“That’s right. I’m the boss of this gang.”
Surely you could have given us more information than just that…
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
“What?”
Shion sighed in a slightly dejected manner in response to Ouka’s puzzled look.
“No, no, no. You’re no match for this beauty of mine.”
… What the hell is he saying?
”I’d heard that you had a lot of fans because of the natural beauty of the Demons’, so I had high hopes for you.”
“….I’m not sure what it was exactly, but I feel like I was just told something extremely annoying.”
Ouka raised an eyebrow and glared at him.
Shion ignored her and looked over at Thira and Ellen.
He sighed.
“It looks like you brought other people with you. Unfortunately, I have to give all of them failing grades too.”
“… I’m kind of getting irritated now.”
“Me too.”
Blue streaks suddenly appeared on Thira and Ellen’s temples.
Who wouldn’t get upset if they were given a failing grade as soon as someone looked at their face?
“A failure~?”
“I’m hungry.”
Philia simply tilted her head while Shiro didn’t even bother to listen.
“Mind your own business. We’ve come to arrest you. I won’t allow you to torment the city any longer!”
”Hahahaha, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? I’ve only been doing a little bit of nibbling at things, that’s all.”
“It’s no exaggeration! Theft and robbery are crimes! Considering the scale of the damage, it could even be a felony! You’re kidnapping young girls on top of that, aren’t you!”
Ouka shouted in a hoarse voice.
Shion, on the other hand, was getting more and more excited.
“Crimes? What are you talking about? How can the beautiful me be accused of anything?”
“Huh? What the hell are you talking about?”
“Can’t you see my divine beauty? If that’s the case, what does it matter what I did?”
Oh no, this guy is too much for me to understand…
Ouka, Tira and Eren were gobsmacked.
“Isn’t that right, guys?”
Shion asked the bandits under his command as we stood there stunned by his arrogance.
“Of course!”
”Shion-sama is equal to a god!”
“Shion-sama is definitely the chosen one!”
I thought these bandits looked like strictly disciplined warriors at first, but looking at them now, it might have been more appropriate to describe them as fanatics.
“They’re right. You should all be bowing on your knees and worshipping me!”
Does anyone mind if I hit this guy?
“My only problem is that I’ve had a hard time finding a suitable spouse. I asked my subordinates to bring all the beautiful women who have been talked about in the city to me, but they’re still no better than weeds in front of the world’s most beautiful flower: me. Thanks to that, I’m still a virgin.”
“Don’t lie to me! Are you telling me that you kidnapped all those girls for such a stupid thing!?”
“Yeah? They were all ugly though, so I insulted them politely and told them to go home.”
I had heard that without exception, all the girls who had returned had shut themselves inside their houses and refused to come out, but to think that that was the reason…
Ouka drew her sword.
“I cannot tolerate a scoundrel like you! I will defeat you!”
She declared gallantly, and charged in towards Shion alone.
It would have been nice to have a bit of time to plan.
Ouka’s right arm flashed forward, and the four bandits in the front row were all blown away.
She didn’t really bother to attack the  bandits one by one, but cut them all down in the blink of an eye by the dozen.
“Don’t worry, I just knocked them unconscious.”
Once she annihilated all the bandit henchmen, Ouka glared sharply at Shion.
“Now it’s your turn.”
”Heh, it seems like your skill with the sword is somewhat better than your appearance.”
“… Are you dumb?”
Shion stood up flamboyantly in front of Ouka, who looked like she was about to vomit.
He drew his sword from his waist and held it loosely.
Wow, this guy…
It was Ouka who made the first move when the distance between them had shortened enough.
She sent out a slash with the speed of lightning and Shion parried it with little effort.
”Huh!?”
Ouka’s eyes opened wide in shock.
It was then that Shion’s sword slid through the air with unstoppable speed to counter-attack Ouka.
A violent metallic sound echoed through the air as she barely blocked the slash.
Shion didn’t miss a beat and moved with the fluidity of water, immediately moving on to the next attack.
“Ku…!”
Ouka was forced onto the defense as Shion unleashed strike upon strike onto her.
Her facial expression was grim but seemed to be enduring somehow.
Shion, on the other hand, had a cool look on his face.
“As you can see, not only I am not only beautiful in appearance, but also in swordplay.”
“Damn it…”
“And I have the power to control the hearts and minds of the people.”
During the time that the fight was going on, the unconscious bandits lying on the floor began to stir, and seeing the commotion began to shout.
“Shion-sama!”
”As expected of Shion-sama! He’s pushing back that Ouka!”
“After all, Shion-sama is our god!”
Shion said one thing to Ouka’s frustration in a flat tone.
“I was born with two or three things given to me by heaven.”
This line alone makes me think that he’s an overly conceited fellow.
Shion, 20 years old.
Race: Demon
Level: 62
Skills: 《Swordsmanship • Extremity》, 《Command and Control • Extremity》, 《Beauty • Extremity》
When I appraised him, I found out that he really did have three top-tier skills.
“Ugh…”
Ouka rolled on the ground like a fluttering leaf and immediately stood up, but the difference in power was obvious.
She wouldn’t be able to win against Shion.
“I didn’t want to use this power to accomplish anything great,” he said. “I just want to live the way I want to. If you’re going to interfere with that, I’m just going to have to interfere with you.”
You were born with talent. But instead of giving it back to society, you’re just using it for your own benefit.
What a waste of money.
《That’s not so different from Master, you know?》
Well, I’m saving the country and all aren’t I?
“Ouka, let me sub in. Let me take care of this one.”
I clenched my fists regretfully, released them and headed out – slapping her chest on the way.
It’s a baton touch.
”Karuna-dono… did you just slap my chest!?”
“It’s just your imagination.”
Ouka watched me with teary eyes as I confronted Shion.
“The human tribe has a strong sense of justice, to deliberately intervene in the clashes between the demon tribe, doesn’t it?”
“Justice? Call me a fool, but it’s just an ulterior motive this time. If I cooperate, Ouka might let me squeeze her raw boobs this time!”
“I’m not going to let you squeeze them!”
Seriously?
I thought I could do it…
“But that was then and this is now. It’s different now. I’m burning with a sense of justice right now.”
”Ka, Karuna-dono…”
I shouted.
“Good looking men must die! That’s the justice that burns deep in my heart!’
”That’s not a sense of justice! That’s just jealousy, isn’t it!?”
Thira’s retort echoed through the whole cave.
“Hahahahaha! That’s a pretty funny thing to say! But do you really have the strength to do that?”
Shion burst out laughing out loud.
I snorted and laughed wickedly.
“Ha, that’s easy.”
I assure you.
“After all, I’ve been given one hundred things from heaven.”
