Volume 3 - CH 34.2

Act 3-34.2: It’s Not Scary At All

「Yeah, no problem, Riette… But, really. Just what is happening here?」

Omiros reassured Riette as he asked for an explanation of the current situation. But, a glance at Regena’s expression gave him the answer that he wanted.

「Werewolf-san is so mean to me! Look, Regena is fine. I, on the other hand, was being swung left and right on his back.」

Riette said so while hiding herself behind Omiros.

Regena and Omiros then looked at the werewolf.

「Yeah, that terrifying personage specifically ordered me to protect you… That’s why I followed your smell all the way to this place.」

The werewolf replied with a smile on his face.

「 Protect me?」

Regena tilted her head in confusion.

「The reason for my late arrival is coz I had to drive away the goblins along the way. My bad… But still, thank god yer safe and sound!!」

「Goblins?」

Regena asked back with a puzzled look on her face. She was then reminded of the goblin raid below.

「Come to think of it, what happened to the goblin raid!?」

Omiros voiced the same question in Regena’s mind.

「Don’t worry. All of them have already been expelled by the warrior summoned by that minstrel uncle.」

Riette replied with a smile on her face. Thereupon, they saw something come toward the watch tower platform. The ones who came were three warriors armed with swords and shields. It looked like they jumped over from the rampart without stairs.

「Eh, Spartoi?! I saw My Dear Master use them before! Why are they appearing in this place?」

Regena spoke with a stupefied voice.

「They’re summoned by the minstrel? And this shield is also given by him. Just who in the world is that minstrel?」

Omiros asked so while touching the shield on his left arm.

First he gave an enchanted shield to Omiros, and then summoned Spartoi.

All threads were interconnected with Regena as its center.

「Ahahahahahahaha.」

Regena suddenly laughed out loud.

「Regena?」

Omiros was looking at the laughing Regena with a baffled look on his face. But, Regena who realized everything didn’t stop laughing.

（Why should I be afraid of this guy? There’s nothing to fear at all.）

Regena then looked at Goz who still did his best to prevent the black sword from killing him.

「O Sword, Return to My Hand.」

Regena raised her hand and called the sword. The sword that tried to stab Goz then returned to Regena’s hand. Goz, who barely avoided death, was looking at Regena.

「Humph, how small. Not even a tenth of My Dear Master’s length.」

Regena snickered as she saw Goz’s lower-half.

Once, Regena had barged into the bathroom when Kuroki was taking a bath since she wanted to rinse his back.

Naturally, she received a severe scolding from Kuna after that.

（My Dear Master’s thing is at least a dozen times longer than Goz’s. Goz’s thing is just too pitifully small. Nevertheless, I almost lost in fear since I was too scared to face Goz. This battle should’ve ended much earlier had I chose to fight alongside Omiros. The power in this sword is exactly for that situation after all.）

""

Regena shook her head lightly as she apologized to Omiros in her heart.

Regena ended up losing her courage when she saw Goz, his figure reminded her of the terror in her childhood after all.

（If only I had been this courageous early on. Omiros wouldn’t be hurt so badly. But, everything will be alright, My Dear Master has already pushed strength in me to overcome my fear.）

Regena then pointed her short sword toward Goz.

「Prepare yourself, Goz!! I’m not scared of you anymore!!」

「Uuuh…」

Goz flinched back when Regena pointed her sword toward him.

His face was filled with fear toward the sword.

「What’s with that look… All of you… Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*k…」

Goz kept swearing non-stop.

「Hey, Omiros… Who the hell is that?」

Riette was pointing at Goz as she clung on Omiros.

「That person is Parsish… The figure we saw until now was him with a face changed with magic. That’s his real face.」

「No way, that’s… Parsish…」

Riette shook her head, unable to believe the striking contrast between the two.

「I see… So that’s the one who that terrifying personage ordered me to eliminate eh. Easy peasy.」

The werewolf said so while looking at Goz.

As if a werewolf wasn’t tough enough, there were also spartois. Goz was already cornered.

「Dammit… Since she can’t become mine… EVERYTHING SHOULD JUST DISSAPEAAAAAAAAAAAAR――――!!!」

Goz took out a small bottle from his pocket as he screamed like a madman.

「I thought that I didn’t have to use this… But, since it has come to this, I’ll use this guy! COME FORTH, GOD OF DESTRUCTION’S KIN! COME FORTH AND DEVOUR ALL THE HUMANS IN THIS HUMAN COUNTRY!!!」

Goz threw out the bottle outside of the watching platform.

「GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!」

Suddenly, a deafening roar that seemed like it could reach the heavens resounded in the entire region, gargantuan black mist rose up from below the watching platform.

The creature that appeared from the mist was a giant creature with numerous hands.

「What in the world is that…?」

Regena spoke with a stupefied voice.

And then, when she looked around, everyone in that place was trembling in fear.

「GAHAHAHAHA! THIS GUY IS THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION’S KIN, THE HUNDRED ARMS GIANT! NOT EVEN THE DARK KNIGHT CAN BEAT THIS GUY! NOW, RAMPAGE!」

After saying so, Goz tried to escape by jumping down from the watching platform. He wanted to get away from that place when Regena and the others’ attention was on the Hundred Arms Giant.

The Hundred Arms Giant was looking down on Regena and co.

「HYAAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAAAAAT!?」

The werewolf screamed in fear.

Amidst everyone’s terror, the spartois were the only ones who moved, they charged toward the Hundred Arms Giant. Alas, all of them were too powerless before it.

And then, one of its arms pointed toward Regena and co.

「RIETTE, WATCH OUT!」

Regena pushed Riette aside.

As a result, the arm that was about to grab Riette caught Regena instead.

「KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」

Regena screamed as she got caught by the giant.

「Regena!!!」

Omiros tried to save Regena but Regena was brought toward the Hundred Arms Giant’s mouth.

「MASTE————————R!!!」

Regena closed her eyes as she shouted the name of her savior.

Suddenly, she felt that her body had regained its freedom. And the first thing that she saw when she opened her eyes was the face of her most beloved person in the world.

An extremely kind person whose body was wrapped in jet-black armor.

（I was embraced by My Dear Master who came riding atop a dragon.）

When Regena snapped out and looked around, she saw that the Hundred Arms Giant had already been knocked back.

「Are you okay, Regena?」

「Yes, I’m safe, My Dear Master… I’m not scared anymore…」

“There is nothing to be scared of anymore.” Was what Regena thought as she embraced Kuroki.
