I was really busy last last week, and last week I was half busy half procrastinating… yeah I"ll just shut up lol. Also, it"s my birthday today, woo~ Interestingly jCafe approved my account today after 24 days, but I don"t even plan to use it anymore so… nice! Thanks for reading~

Now I just need to run. I can bluff my way through or appeal to their emotions, but either way, it doesn’t matter because I defeated Gyanza, the perpetrator who made the situation complicated.

"I, I cannot believe it. To think that with one hit, Gyanza-sama was…… by a child like that."
"He seems quite close with the demon king and the demon king"s daughter, but who the h.e.l.l is he!?"

There doesn"t seem to be a "let"s immediately kill the dangerous person who defeated Gyanza" atmosphere, so this is my chance.

"Oi, Ura!" (Velt)
"Yeah, I know. I"ll going to make a distraction with my magic now, so let"s make this place fall into further chaos and escape while carrying father." (Ura)

It was the exact moment after we confirmed our plan to escape this place and started moving.

"So………… so that"s what"s going on." (Gyanza)

This feeling…… it"s the overwhelming atmosphere of death that I felt when I first saw Gyanza.
Gooseb.u.mps appeared simultaneously all over my body.

"Wha! You, you!" (Velt)
"No way! To, to be able to stand up after taking my high kick…………" (Ura)

A bruise on her chin. Red blood is oozing out of her cut lip.
She felt plenty of pain, and her lower body is trembling.

"I understand now. So that"s what"s going on." (Gyanza)

However, Gyanza stood.
She brought about an ominous atmosphere, and without minding caring a single bit about the damage or the injuries she took, she simply showed tears and a smiling face.
I felt the chills from the bottom of my heart.
While looking at me, Gyanza was crying.

"Boy, you are so pitiful. Your pure heart was stolen by the filthy demons and were manipulated, right?" (Gyanza)
"Ha?" (Velt)
"I looked down on you because I thought you were a child, princess Ura. You used a pure, human child that was living peacefully without any sins………… how could you do that." (Gyanza)

Although she’s extremely missing the point, this woman is seriously saying that.

"It started again, this woman! I"m being manipulated? I didn’t see that coming." (Velt)
"I am manipulating Velt? Correct yourself! That is an insult towards Velt!" (Ura)
"Ah~, just don"t even bother anymore, Ura. I"ve slightly understood this woman. Even if you try to have a proper conversation with her, it"ll just give you stress." (Velt)
"However! However, Velt, this woman is, this woman is!" (Ura)
"Like I said, don"t worry about it." (Velt)

Exactly, if you worry about it, you lose. I stroke Ura"s angry head and calm her down.

"As long as we we know what we each think, it"s fine." (Velt)
"Velt…………" (Ura)
"At the very least, my will is with you. Your old man, and your feelings towards Ruuga won"t change." (Velt)
"! Velt………… yeah! I also………… although we only just met today………… even if you"re a human, even though you"re a human, I love you!" (Ura)
"Oh~, hmm is that so, wow I"m so happy~." (Velt) (TL Note: Sarcasm intensifies)

Well, leaving that aside, what should we do with the woman in front of us.
The same tactic probably wouldn"t work twice after all――――――

"Ahh, how pitiful!" (Gyanza)
"Wha…………" (Velt)
"Fa, fast!" (Ura)

By the time I realized it, Gyanza was already before our eyes.
Before my thoughts settled, she came.

"Kuh, Makyokushin Kara―――――" (Ura)
"Ahh, I will not forgive you, princess Ura." (Gyanza)
"Ah……" (Ura)

Gyanza quickly draws a cross with her finger.
Then, a shining cross captures Ura"s body, and when I thought the light burst open, Ura"s whole body was bound by the cross that suddenly appeared, which was coiled with innumerable thorns.

"Divine Magic, Cross Executioner (Cross beheading)." (Gyanza)
"Wha, my, my body is, move―――――" (Ura)
"Princess Ura. For you who has hidden genuine evil inside of you, I will hand down G.o.d"s divine punishment." (Gyanza)
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!" (Ura)

The moment Ura"s body, that had been crucified, was wrapped in divine light, her scream resounded.

"Ura! Thi, this crazy woman! Release Ura!" (Velt)

I need to save her immediately or else.
I don"t know what"s happening to Ura"s body, but whatever it is, it obviously brings her pain.
Without a single plan, I wield the batons with all my power.
However,

"Boy, it must have been scary……" (Gyanza)

By the time I realized it, I was being hugged tightly by Gyanza.
While a mere ten year old child, Ura, is screaming, how can this woman show such a kindness filled smile?
I wasn"t able to move at all.

"A, Asakura! Ura! Yo, youuuuuu! Gyanza!" (Sharkryu)

Raising his injured body, Samejima shouts.
However,

"Divine Magic, G.o.d Flame!" (Gyanza)
"D, da, d.a.m.n it!" (Sharkryu)
"G.o.d"s flames have profound compa.s.sion and will absolutely never destroy its target. However, in the same way, that h.e.l.l fire will never disappear either." (Gyanza)
"Guoooooooo" (Sharkryu)
"Be embraced by flames for eternity and reflect on your own sins, demon king." (Gyanza)

Flames that never disappear and flames that completely burn the opponent.
However, these flames are only for the sake of giving the opponent the pain of the scorching heat.
There should be a limit to being merciless.

"S, Sa, Samejima! Thi, this crazy woman, release him! Release him!" (Velt)
"It"s all okay now, boy." (Gyanza)

It"s useless. Even if I try to escape through brute force, she"s holding me so tightly that my body is wedged into her arms.
I can"t move at all.

"It, it came, that, that was, Gyanza-sama"s magic of divine punishment."
"Only the people that have mastered the light attribute can reach it, the divine attribute."
"Oi, it would be better to back off more. Merciless divine punishments equally judge enemies and allies. If we get dragged into it, we"ll die as well."

My thinking was too naive. No, I should have given her a finishing blow.
However, a situation that further added to my despair happened.

"Nn." (Gyanza)
"――――!" (Velt)

What is happening to my body?
From her kindness filled smile, she showed a lascivious smile and suddenly grabbed my head…

"Nn, nnー! Nnー! Nnー! Puha-, guh, wha, what the h.e.l.l did you, nnー! Nnー!" (Velt)

A kiss? No. It was a more evil thing.

"A, Asakura―――――――" (Sharkryu)
"Ve, Velt, guuuuu, aaaaaaaah, kuh, yo, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, wha, what are you, doing to, Velt!" (Ura)

Disgusting. I feel like vomiting. My consciousness is becoming distant.
Right now, what is happening to me?

"Puha-, fuu, don"t worry about it, boy. Onee-san will definitely help you." (Gyanza)

No words came out.
My body cramped, and my head was unable to think of anything.
Just, I know that something abnormal is happening.
The faces of Gyanza"s allies, humanity"s great allied forces, are turning pale as well.

"Gen, general Gyanza, what, what exactly are you."

One soldier asks her.
Then, Gyanza responded with a cornered looking face. (TL Note: Not too sure if this really means ‘cornered face’, but google-sensei told me it was… 切羽詰ったような表情)

"This boy had his pure heart stolen by the demons and his mind is being manipulated." (Gyanza)
"Ye, yes, and, so, um, what relation does that have to you ki, kissing him?"
"It is to prepare for the ritual that is necessary for regaining that pure heart." (Gyanza)

Ritual? Preparation? What the h.e.l.l is this woman going to do to me?

"The most effective method of regaining someone"s pureness, is to let them take someone"s chast.i.ty." (Gyanza)

"Because I kept repeating half hearted battles against the demons, this child was dragged into it. Therefore, I need to help this child no matter what. Even if I have to sacrifice my chast.i.ty." (Gyanza)

………… Wait, this woman!

"Y, you a.s.shole, no way!" (Velt)
"Boy, please stay still. It is onee-san"s first time as well, but I will definitely make it succeed." (Gyanza)

The worst scene came to my mind, and my consciousness awakened in an instant.

"Y, you!" (Velt)
"It"s okay. You don"t have to worry, since you can live a normal life from tomorrow. An, please don"t struggle so much. Please hold a strong heart. You can do it." (Gyanza)
"Stop it! Don"t, don"t f.u.c.k with me! Why, even though I"m telling you to stop! Re, release me! Let go! I"ll beat you to death!" (Velt)
"Ahh, to think the demons" brainwashing went this far." (Gyanza)
"Don"t go touching me!" (Velt)
"It"s okay, by becoming one with me, you can regain your pure heart." (Gyanza)

No one is stopping her. No, it"s just that no one can get involved with this abnormal situation.
I struggled. I probably struggled the most since I was born. I twisted my body, resisted, and tried to escape no matter what.

"Boy, please don"t struggle. You have to regain your former pureness. You have the right to forget the tough days of being manipulated by the demons and become happy." (Gyanza)
"Aaaaaah! s.h.i.t, you a.s.shole, I"ll beat you to death! Absolutely kill you! Let go! Let go! Let go!" (Velt)
"Boy, live a happy life." (Gyanza)
"!!!!" (Velt)
"I will take responsibility as well. Once everything ends, live with this onee-san. A lovely future is waiting for us." (Gyanza)

She"s going to rape me!
A woman"s advances? Don"t be stupid. Would that give me the feelings of fear, hatred, disgrace, chills, despair and defeat?

This woman is mad. With the intention of doing the correct things with a normal mind, she is taking such mad actions without hesitation.
A deep, strange "something" that I can"t even imagine, is in this woman.

"Stop………… it…………" (Velt)
"Now, let"s become one, boy." (Gyanza)

I"m about to be raped until exhaustion………… is what I thought.
That"s why, I resisted one last time.

"This guy………… is my friend." (Velt)
"…………" (Gyanza)
"No matter how many times you do me, that won"t change." (Velt)

I told her that. I said what I wanted to say.
Then, in that moment.

"Astral Vortex."

Gyanza"s bewitching smile changed to an expression of anger in that instant.
In the next moment, Gyanza jumped away from me.
Then, right above my pushed down body, a shining spiral swirl pa.s.sed through.

"Wha?" (Velt)

Someone attacked Gyanza.
Who is it? Ura and Samejima are still captured.
In that case, who is it?

"Who is it! The rude person that interrupted this divine ritual!" (Gyanza)

Gyanza"s anger. Then, from behind me, I heard a voice I had become accustomed to hearing.

"The rude person is you, you d.a.m.n girl."

That was a very vulgar, rough, and overbearing tone,

"In this d.a.m.n gloomy place deep underground, you……… "

But, reliable………

"What the f.u.c.k were you doing to my stupid younger brother."

As an ally, no one is more reliable than him, my self-proclaimed future brother in law.

"Fa……………… Farugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" (Velt)

Clad in an overwhelming presence and aura, Faruga appeared before me.

"O, oi, just now, what did that brat say?"
"Fa, Faruga? That guy is the real Fa, Faruga?"
"Wha, what! Tha, that is! That person is, the strongest hunter in the continent! The scarlet dragon slayer (dragon killer), Faruga Elfarshia!"

It"s understandable for humanity"s great allied forces to be surprised.
Even I"m surprised after all.

But, I"m glad. It wasn"t a dream.

I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart, enough to make me not feel pitiful.
