Chapter 65

You Are My Enemy

Do you know them?

Yeah, the pride and joy of the Purin Kingdom, Hero-sama. Be careful. They are on a completely different level than the opponents up until now.

Got it. Ill face them with everything Ive got.

Without relaxing their stance, Curryman and Kugel exchanged words.

The morale of the kingdom soldiers had dropped and their feet had come to a complete halt. Facing the fighting styles of those who had stepped onto inhuman domains, their will of fight had faded, their consciousness was then shifted toward the hero party who were stepping forward into the frontline.

With Hero Kamui as the lead, the Guild A ranker Tetsujin and the Purinism Priest Kaltovich were following behind him. As if encouraged by the expectations of the kingdom soldiers, they stood in front of the fierce men.

Its been a long time. I never thought we would meet again under such a circumstance.

Im honored that you remembered this humble one. O hero-sama.

Curryman once aspired to join the hero party, but being faced with the Hero right in front of him, he was miraculously calm. It was testament how much he had changed inside.

As someone who is considered to be one of the prominent powerful figure in the guild, why are you siding with monsters?

Siding with monsters, huh. Well, Im getting sick of the ideology of this country, you see. Fully aware of those who have been oppressed in this country, are you seriously asking that? If thats the case, from the bottom of my heart, Im truly glad that I didnt become your comrade. Right now, Im treading on the path I believe, and I will continue to do so.

Curryman gripped his twin swords and burned with fighting spirit.

The path you believe in.

You mustnt be fooled, Kamui-sama. Hes someone who doesnt understand the pain of the kingdom or the noble teachings of Purinism. He may have said something seemingly aloof, but as an uneducated foreigner he is, theres no way he would ever entertain any proper idea. At best, I bet he was most likely just acting violently out of spite for failing to become our comrade.

Noble teaching my ass. You better do something about that indiscriminate lust flaunting of yours first.

Pfft.

Tetsujin involuntarily blurted out a laugh. Kaltovich turned her face, glared intently at the little girl and began chanting her magic.

Hey, Kalt.

I get it! Ill get rid of those rude fools first!

Invoking magic strengthening, Kaltovich then began another chanting in order to attack, and gradually, the curtains of the battle were thus raised.

Dual Cast Air Cutter!

Invisible blades attacked Currryman and Kugel. Following their polished warrior sense, they promptly jumped away and moved onto offense. Their target was the one who was chanting a high-level magic, Kaltovich. However, as they closed their distance, Kamui and Tetsujin jumped into their way.

Get out of the way!

Curryman skillfully wielded his twin swords and attacked Kamui.

Furious swift series of attacks. Wielding his partners, the magic sword and the divine shield, Kamui calmly parried the attack.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

So fast, to think you would actually be this powerful.

Oh, its an honor to receive a praise from you!

Curryman continued to attack even while commenting lightly. However, although at a glance he might seem to be letting his guard down, he was carefully observing his opponents ability.

Madpie! Orangetto!

While fighting against Tetsujin, Kugel let out a loud shout that echoed throughout the area.

As far as the demons were concerned, should they allow the front route to be breached there, that would mean everything was over. They had to defend this place to the death even if they had to cut off support to other places. It was a bitter decision with resolution of greatly increasing the burden of the demons who were fighting sporadically at the other places.

The kingdom soldiers who were running up to the high ground were convinced of victory based on the situation that was unfolding in front of them. This place, with its gentle slope and few nature, was an environment that was easy for the Kingdom soldiers to fight in. A little further ahead, women, children, and the elderly, who were clearly unfit for battle, stared at them, unable to hide.

Madpie and Orangetto, who had ceased their support duty and rushed over, quickly realized what was happening and stood in front of the overflowing crowd of kingdom soldiers.

You shall not go any further than this!

The kingdom soldiers were routed by the two newly appearing demons. The gap between their powers was apparent, but they werent powerful enough to push back the equilibrium of the battle. In the face of the overwhelming number of kingdom soldiers who appeared one after another, the fate of the demons could be said to be already in a precarious state.

And then the voice of Kaltovich, who had moved up along with the kingdom soldiers, echoed in the area.

Foolish ones! The battle is already decided! Lay down your weapons and cease your resistance at once! I promise you that in the name of our God, we will not take your lives! However! If you choose not to stop resisting, then we have no choice! I will use my magic to show you what kind of position you are all currently in!

Kaltovich began to chant her magic. Her target was the huddling up and frozen demons.

Damn it all!

Curryman tried to move toward Kaltovich to obstruct her incantation, but his path was blocked by Kamui.

Please drop your weapons! We dont want to pointlessly shed any more blood than this either!

You have the face to say those words?!

Currymans sword clashed with Kamuis sword. Neither of them backed down.

Kugel couldnt move either, as he was being obstructed by Tetsujin.

Madpai and Orangetto also had their hands full with only obstructing the overflowing Kingdom soldiers.

Understand what your position is a bit better with this. Triple cast: fireball!

Three lumps of flame flew toward the demons.

Hii!

The women and children huddled together in front of the violence that they could not resist. However, the tragedy that was about to befall them was narrowly prevented. It was because the three flames fizzled out as they collided with three chunks of ice that had flown in.

As expected we cant leave that one alone.

The two shadows floating in the sky slowly landed between the demons and the kingdom soldiers.

Hero Mikoto.

Kaltovich glared at them with a seemingly vexed expression.

Well, I was the one who did it, though.

Great Sage Merlin still acted at his own pace even in such a tense situation. A sailor uniform believer was none to be trifled with.

As expected I cant let any more than that slide. Please stop siding with the Kingdom, Kamui. If you still cant open your eyes even after witnessing that just now, then you are my enemy.

It was Hero Mikoto and the great sage Merlin who had averted the peril of the demons. As the situation had changed in various ways, how would the tide of battle turn out?

And then, our protagonist, Tanaka, who had yet to make his appearance even now. What was going on, Tanaka?! Your turn was being snatched by Hero-chan, you know, Tanaka!?
