Volume 3 - CH 34.1

Act 3-34.1: It’s Not Scary At All

Goz and Omiros fought right in front of Regena.

（Ah, what should I do…）

Regena couldn’t do anything but watch the situation where Omiros was getting injured right in front of her. If they continued at this rate, it was only a matter of time before Goz killed Omiros. Moreover, no matter how desperately she cried for help, the people below were far too busy due to the goblins’ attack.

「My Dear Master…」

Regena called Kuroki, her master.

But, she knew that the Hero’s little sister and her party must’ve blocked his way, preventing him from arriving here. Regena wanted to cry at the thought.

When Regena clasped the handle of her short sword, she suddenly recalled the day she received it from Kuroki. This weapon was one that Kuroki created for her so that she could use it for self-defense after leaving Nargol and returning to the human realm. She could feel his kindness strongly dwelling in the sword.

Properly speaking, Nargol wasn’t a suitable living place for humans. Except for Kuroki, the inhabitants of Nargol saw Regena and her clan as either a nuisance, or food. The only reason they didn’t do anything to them was simply because they were under Kuroki’s protection. That’s why Kuroki didn’t want them to spend the rest of their lives in such unfortunate circumstances.

Thus, he was trying his best to find a place in the human world for them to relocate.

The short sword was something like an amulet for Regena’s self-protection when Kuroki couldn’t come to protect her.

（But, can I do that?）

All she wanted was to stay by his side. She had always seen in her dreams the nightmarish day in which people of Algore killed each other, the day when she and her family were running desperately from goblins. That experience made her realize that whether it was the human realm or Nargol, both are equally scary.

She could feel at ease only when she was by Kuroki’s side.

（I really can’t separate myself from My Dear Master.）

Regena was trembling in fear. Two people fought right before her. Even an amateur like her knew that Omiros was slowly being cornered.

When Omiros attacked with his sword, Goz knocked the sword with his shield. The impact of the strike made Omiros drop the sword in his hand. Omiros’ stance crumbled when he was trying to pick his sword in hurry.

Naturally, Goz didn’t let go of such an opening.

「GUHA!」

Omiros fell as Goz tripped the former’s feet. Goz used that chance to trample Omiros’ left hand that was equipped with an enchanted shield, preventing the shield from moving on its own.

「GUH!」

Omiros groaned in pain.

「THIS IS THE END, PRINCE――!!」

Goz held his sword in a reverse grip, and prepared to stab Omiros to death with it.

That moment…

「STOP――――!!!」

Regena spoke with a stupefied voice.

Both Omiros and Goz looked at Regena upon hearing her voice. Then, they noticed that Regena had already unsheathed her own short sword.

She wanted to save Omiros. She didn’t want Omiros to die. Thus, Regena moved with that kind of thought.

（Omiros was scouring goblin nests just to find someone like me, he even supported my will to return to Nargol. Even when everyone in Algore hated me, Omiros was the only one who cares about me, I have to save him.）

Regena snapped out of her hesitation immediately.

Goz’s line of sight was locked on Regena. Her body trembled upon receiving Goz’s gaze.

「G-Get away from Omiros… Y-Your o-opponent is m-me!!」

Regena’s trembling hands were holding on to the hilt of the short sword.

「Oioi, you can’t defeat me with such a little sword. Rather, you should throw it away since you might get yourself injured by that sword instead. Moreover, I prefer to be your opponent in bed.」

Goz’s eyes scanned Regena’s body, as if licking it all over.

「Stop, Regena…」

Omiros tried to stop Regena with a feeble voice.

「Shut up, small fry.」

「GUHA!」

Omiros let out a pained wail as Goz trampled on his chest.

「Stop… I’ll do as you say…」

Regena, who didn’t want to see Omiros hurt himself for her, bowed to Goz.

「Is that so? Everything I say eh.」

Goz spoke delightfully upon hearing Regena’s plea.

「Then, throw that sword under the rampart! Otherwise, I’m gonna kill this small fry!!」

Hearing that, Regena looked at the short sword in her hand.

（This is a gift from My Dear Master. As if I can throw it away.）

Regena shook her head, unwilling to do as Goz had told her.

「Please… Anything but that…」

「Then I’ll kill this guy.」

Goz readied his sword to stab Omiros again.

「WAIT!!… I… Understand…」

Regena threw the sword out of the rampart.

「Hehehe, good girl, Regena.」

Finally, Goz removed his feet from Omiros’ chest. Omiros tried to stand up again but he got kicked away by Goz.

Omiros’ body was blown away and crashed against the wall, he showed an anguished look on his face.

「YOU JUST STAY RIGHT THERE AND ENJOY THE SHOW!!」

「OMIROS!!」

Regena tried to rush at Omiros.

「Whoopsie!!!」

But, Goz appeared before her, and pushed her down. He then mounted her right away.

「Finally, I caught you, Regena… Now let’s show Omiros the moment I turn you into a woman!!!」

Goz tried to take off his pants as he spoke.

「NOOOOOOOOOOOOO―――! SAVE ME, MASTER――――!!」

Regena shut her eyes, calling upon Kuroki’s name.

Swish!

At that moment, Regena’s ears caught the sound of something cutting the wind.

「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!」

Suddenly, Goz jumped away from Regena while raising a bloodcurdling scream.

「Eh…? W… What happened…」

Regena propped her body up as she looked at Goz. Thereupon, she saw the short sword that she threw away beneath the rampart stuck on Goz’s naked ass.

Goz was hopping repeatedly like a rabbit as he wailed loudly. Since he had taken off his pants, his lower-half was completely exposed. Adding to the fact that he was hopping like a rabbit, that spectacle was truly hilarious. Regena didn’t waste more time and rushed toward Omiros immediately.

「Are you okay, Omiros?」

Regena propped Omiros while trying to wake him up.

「Uhm… Regena… What… happened?」

Omiros stood with a grimace, clearly in pain. But, even Regena had no idea what just happened. The short sword that she threw away had actually returned and stabbed Goz’s ass.

「WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SWORD―――!!!?」

Goz finally calmed down and managed to pull the sword stuck in his ass. And then, that sword suddenly moved on its own, toward Goz’s chest.

「GNNNNNNNNNN!!!」

But, Goz managed to just barely prevent the sword from killing him by holding its hilt with both hands.

The sword moved on its own, as if it had its own will.

Goz was struggling to prevent the sword from stabbing his chest.

「What…  the hell is that guy doing?」

Omiros was looking at Goz with a puzzled look on his face. The figure of Goz—with a naked lower half—trying his best to prevent the sword in his hand from stabbing him looked hilarious from the sideline.

Even if it was replaced with another person, they would still be puzzled by Goz’s strange actions.

Regena and Omiros could only look at Goz’s display of antics with dumbfounded looks on their faces. As they watched such a spectacle, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps from the stairs. The reinforcements had finally come.

But, Omiros didn’t let down his guard since the one coming might be a goblin.

「My bad for the tardiness.」

The one who came up was the last person he expected.

「You’re… That werewolf. What are you doing here?」

Omiros asked as he saw the figure who came up. Regena was also familiar with him. It was the werewolf they brought to Algore.

（What is this werewolf doing here? He should be restricted with chains and locks.）

When she thought so, upon a closer look, Regena saw another figure clinging onto the werewolf’s back.

「R… Riette?」

""

Omiros called the person who was clinging onto the werewolf’s back. He was curious as to the reason why Riette was doing that.

「Geez! You should run more slowly!!」

Riette complained as she descended from the werewolf’s back.

「Can’t be helped! That terrifying personage will kill me for sure if something bad ever happens to that female human!!」

「Is that so? That minstrel looked like a really gentle person to me though?」

「Coz it’s you…」

Riette and the werewolf bantered.

「Riette… What in the world is happening?」

「Ah, Omiros! Eh, you’re injured? Are you okay?」

Riette rushed toward Omiros.
