Chapter 512: It Seems Like It's Going to be a Difficult Relationship

After thanking Shea-san for her help in the past and handing her the spicy vegetable's seeds that Shiro-san had created, I finally made it to the Central Tower.

Well, even so…… I've really thought about this a lot, but I've met a lot of people today huh……

Chris-san, Eden-san, Fors-san, Laguna-san, Magnawell-san, Zwei-san, Raz-san, Acht, Eva, Ein-san, and Shea-san…… I think that's all the people I've talked to. If I were to count Lilia-san and the others, I've encountered 14 people in total.

No, well, I know that it's not absolutely impossible since we're all participating in the same festival, but considering the odds of running into someone by accident in this incredibly large venue, I'd say that I had quite a huge encounter rate.

Well, I'm almost at the Central Tower, so I don't think I'll be encountering anyone anymore……

[……Oi, pervert. I've told you many times not to show up in front of me. You want to die?]

[Dang, just looking at you makes me sweltering……You lowly muscleheads still lack intelligence as ever…… If you get out of my sight now, I might consider letting you go, you know?]

[……………….]

……is what I thought, but I found someone here. Those two were staring at each other in the middle of the Central Plaza…… Ahh, I guess they're the reason why there's no one in this place at all……

I guess that's obvious, isn't it? On one hand was the head of War King's Five Generals, while on the other was the strongest Count-level, High-ranking Demon…… The two of them, who don't seem like they get along with each other, were exchanging words while their killing intent was scattering around the place.

[……Hey, Alice. Putting aside whether it was just my imagination…… Do Agni-san and Pandora-san not get along?]

[Yeah, frankly, their relationship was the worst…… I mean, the reason why Megido-san's subordinates and my subordinates don't get along is that those two have a very bad relationship.]

It seems that Agni-san and Pandora-san really don't get along. They aren't rivals like Ein-san and Chronois-san, who recognize each other's strengths, but rather they seem to treat the other person as an enemy.

Well, considering their personalities, they certainly don't seem like the types of people who would mesh well with each other……

[I only came to apologize to Miyama-sama for the trouble my subordinate caused, and I have no use for you. I'll let you off the hook for today. Now, get out of my sight.]

[Ahh, thank goodness. I was on guard to make sure that you ill-mannered vermins didn't get near Miyama-sama…… and I'm glad that I came here. For a particularly nasty rat to try to get close to Miyama-sama…… That's the extremity of rudeness.]

[From what I see, having a pervert loitering around him is much ruder than that.]

[Haahhh…… It seems that not only are you a musclehead, you're also blind…… I'm a pervert? Hahaha, you're making me laugh. All I wanted was for Miyama-sama to "bind my body with rough ropes and chains", and "release his carnal lust on me to the point of exhaustion"!!!]

[No matter how you look at it, those are the words of a pervert!!!]

I totally agree with Agni-san. Or rather…… What kind of absurdities are you thinking about, Pandora-san!? This woman's no good…… I need to do something……

[……Alice, she's your subordinate. Do something.]

[……No, I've already given up when it comes to her fetishes…… and it's already out of my jurisdiction.]

As it seems like Pandora-san's desires had become too much for Alice, the two people's argument escalated.

[……That's funny coming from a gorilla who's wooing a withering man, don't you think? Ah, pardon me. You were rejected, didn't you……]

[Oi, perverted woman, putting aside if you're insulting me, insulting Ozma-sama isn't something I will tolerate…… I'm going to kill you!]

[You? Kill me? Fufufu, don't say something you can't even do…… You're just making yourself look hilarious.]

[ [ …………….. ] ]

Oh no, it feels like a serious battle is going to start.

[Alice, this looks dangerous…… Stop them.]

[Haahhh…… That child really is troubling…… Good grief. Well then, I'll go sto——— p them, but I guess I don't need to do that huh.]

[Ehh?]

[A mediator has come.]

It happened almost at the same time that Alice said those words, and Agni-san and Pandora-san sent their fists at each other. Strikes from two people with overwhelming people…… if handled poorly, their strikes would have blown up the Central Plaza, but that didn't happen.

Before I knew it, Ozma-san had appeared between Agni-san and Pandora-san, and easily caught the fists that the two had released.

[……Uncle likes lively girls, but I think you should choose the right time and place. Fighting in the venue of the Six Kings Festival is forbidden, okay?]

[O- Ozma-sama!?]

[Tsk.]

Seeing Ozma-san, who told such things with a gentle chuckle, Agni-san's eyes lit up and Pandora-san clicked her tongue.

Then, after making sure that both of them hand lowered their fists, Ozma-san spoke up while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

[I'm not saying that you get along even when you obviously don't, but you should be considerate to the people around you, you know?]

[Yes!]

[Why should I listen from dogs like you——– [ Pandora, House. ] ———-Eh? S- Shalltear-sama!? Wait, where are you taking me? A- Are you going to spank me!?]

[……Why the heck are you getting excited about getting a spanking…… Haahhh…… Anyway, you're getting a sermon over here.]

[Thank you!]

[……Hahh.]

With Ozma-san's appearance, Agni-san's will to fight disappeared, while Pandora-san was dragged away by Alice's sighing clone. Unnn, what a chaotic situation this is.

Anyway, I thought this would be the end…… but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[Ozma-sama!]

[Unnn?]

[I love you so much! Please marry me!!!]

[………………]

Agni-san suddenly started proposing to Ozma-san!? Wait a moment!? I can't keep up with the rapid development!

I mean, why the heck are you proposing in this place……

[……I don't know how many times I've told you this, but Uncle is more comfortable being single…… I'm sorry.]

[I understand! Well then, I will confess again "tomorrow"!]

[……Unnn, whether it's Agni-chan and Epsilon-chan, you don't understand anything, do you? You do know that we're making the same exchange almost everyday, right? I really can't understand the taste of you youngsters…… What in the world is good about this old Uncle……]

[Everything!]

[……U- Unnn. I see, thanks……]

I guess you could say it was a rare sight in a way, but it was the first time I saw Ozma-sam with a seriously troubled expression on his face.

Dear Mom, Dad—————- I don't really know what's going on today, but I ran into someone I know again. Putting that aside, Ozma-san…… Is he being confessed by Agni-san every time they meet? And every time that happens, he rejects her…… U- Unnn————– It seems like it's going to be a difficult relationship.

Ozma : He's a cool, good-looking middle-aged man, so he's quite popular. However, he prefers to be single and refuses their advances.

Agni : She learned the basics of combat from Ozma. She respects Ozma and loves him from the bottom of her heart. She straightforwardly confesses her feelings, without acting roundabout at all, and doesn't give up at all no matter how many times she is rejected.

Epsilon : Like Agni, she was taught combat techniques by Ozma, and he respects and admires him. Just like Agni, she was getting rejected no matter how many times she confesses, but she always tries again and again, making use of other means of confessing every time.
