1018 - White God Festival, Noon ⑫

【I couldn’t connect to the internet due to a phone line failure, but just to post this update, I hurriedly subscribed to a tethering plan.】

Feeling physical pain as pleasure, incomparable to any other, the perverted bird with transcendental masochistic tendencies, Phenex-san…… Feeling mental pain as pleasure, the perverted snake with a serial killer side that kills others after making them feel like they’re close friends, Tiamat-san…… This was an encounter with the people who are as close to the worst as I can imagine.

[My God! It’s an honor to meet you here!]

[P- Phenex-san, please keep your voice down a little…… You’re attracting a lot of attention.]

Frankly speaking, these two stand out. Of course, Phenex-san does stand out being that she’s green flames in the shape of a bird, but Tiamat-san, who is a humongous lamia, is really eye-catching.

In fact, now that the two of them had shown up, it seemed like a lot of attention had gathered towards our group, and being called their God by someone here is just unbearable.

[Attention? I see, my God is displeased about that…… Please wait for a moment, for I will “incinerate” the people around us.]

[No, wait! Stop, stoooop!!! You don’t have to do that!]

[Mhmm? If that’s what my God says.]

What the heck is with this person, no, this bird…… Her thought process is too extreme. I asked her to restrain herself because she’s attracting the attention of the people around her, and thinking that I’m displeased with them looking at me, her outrageous thoughts leaped to one where they’re being disrespectful and were about to kill them. 

In fact, her eyes that were gentle as she frolicked about suddenly turned serious, so I think she was seriously going to burn them to death if I didn’t stop her.

[……Ahh, there sure are many people at a festival. Seeing so many people so vibrant, it’s so heartwarming…… Ahh, even so, there are a lot of “people I could get along with”. I’m sure there would be someone who I’ll definitely be fantastic friends with, someone my heart could trust that I could call them my peerless best friend……]

[There’s no one like that here! There definitely isn’t one here, so please don’t talk to them!!!]

[……I see, how sad.]

Tiamat-san is someone who has the urge to kill those who are close to her, so her words about wanting to be friends with someone is almost equal to her wanting to kill them.

Seriously, the both of them are too dense and too dangerous…… I need to keep their attention off of everyone else as much as possible, else they’ll be in danger.

[……Aoi-san, Hina-san, please don’t move away from behind me. Those two are rather dangerous people, and perhaps, they may also be bad influences towards you two even when you don’t move away from behind me, so I think it’s best to cover your ears as well.]

As expected of the capable Sky-san, she quickly covered up for Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, making sure to keep Phenex-san and Tiamat-san out of their sight.

[……Perhaps, could that be the “Dark Forest’s Monster”?]

[Dark Forest’s Monster?]

When Caraway-san mumbled so, the nearby Anima tilted her head.

[It’s a dangerous monster spoken in Demon Realm’s fairy tales.]

[Along with a necromancer, who is known as the Martyr of Death, they’re famed for being extremely dangerous beings in the Demon Realm…… desu.]

Eta and Theta, who lived in the Demon Realm, explained in response to Anima’s question. I’ve heard before that the Dark Forest where Tiamat-san lives is a very dangerous place even in the Demon Realm, but it seems that Tiamat-san herself is recognized as a very dangerous creature.

……Well, I suppose that isn’t strange.

[……Errr, you two are also attending the White God Festival? Rather, you two are close friends?]

[Yeah, we’ve known each other for quite some time after all.]

[Yes. She’s the bestest of best friend I’ve ever had. Ahh, truly a wonderful friend…… Ahh, must endure…… Phenex, can I kill you?]

[Bring me the pain! Make it extremely painful!]

From their earlier exchange, I understood the general relationship between the two of them. Tiamat-san, who had the tendency to kill those who are close to her, and Phenex-san, who is an immortal masochist who is willing to be killed by those who are close to her, is indeed a perfect match for each other.

[……No, wait! What the heck are you trying to do in public……]

[Strangle her?]

[Sounds great, strangulation. I like it very much, the crushing pressure of Tiamat’s torso as my body is being crushed against the wall feels so addictive. Please gimme that 2 or 3 times.]

What the heck should I do with this perverted duo…… Geez, I can’t bear being here anymore. Just as I looked up to the heavens, wondering what to do about the two of them, a voice came to my rescue.

[Haahhh…… Good grief……]

With those words, Alice appeared in front of me. Wearing a smile so bright and dazzling, she looked at Phenex-san and Tiamat-san.

Thereupon, both of their bodies straightened up and stiffened. Phenex-san’s body, which was supposed to be green, seemed to be turning blue.

[……I forgot. Come to think of it, there’s that, isn’t it?. This is dangerous, seriously dangerous.]

[She’s smiling. She’s really smiling. When Shalltear-sama makes that face, it’s when she’s really angry…… Ahh, it seems like we’ll be heading towards hell. How sad.]

Looking extremely unusual, the two perverts looked completely terrified. T- That’s amazing, Alice…… For making these two dangerous people so afraid of her, I guess that’s to be expected of the Phantasmal King…… Anyhow, her assistance really is great.

Serious-senpai : [Smiles originally were aggressive expressions after all.]
