8-17. The Day of the Final (3)
"Hey, hey, Hayato. Where do you think the demon lord will appear?"
"Dunno, don’t ask me difficult things. To quickly go to where the demon lord appears and defeat it. That’s my job."
Tsk, Maryest, she can’t not know me.
"Ahaha, that’s really like hero-sama."
"Can’t be helped right. Seems that it’s first time the oracle is all over the ce."
Rusus the cat ears, and Fifi the dog ears carefree-ly said so.
I know, you girls are on my sides. I touch the ears of the two who bend themselves toward the captain’ seat I’m sitting on. It feels really great. We’ve been together for five years, but it’s taken me three years before they let me touch it.
"If I have to reasonably guess the ce, it’s probably around thebyrinth city, Selbira of Shiga kingdom, or the revivedbyrinth of Kubooku kingdom."
The priest, Loreiya, calmly tells her prediction. Since the secretary, Nono, and the magic warrior, Ringrande aren’t here right now, I can only really talk with the witch, Meryest, and Loreiya.
Loreiya is hugging my head from behind. Her breasts on my head are heavy. I off-handedly push the breasts aside. Loreiya looks so happy even though I did it in cold-heart.
Breasts are just nothing more than lumps of fat. I don’t understand perverts.
"Hero-sama is also stoic today eh."
That doesn’t sound like a line from a clergywoman.
Ah, why do my party have nothing but jigglyjiggle.
Isn’t it fine to have one little girl at least. There’s a taciturn girl, but she’s 23 this year on top of having E cup. If there’s a taciturn little girl, I’ll whisper love to her anytime.
Haa, the girl with middle-schooler-level t chest who seemed to be a soldier of Shiga kindgom that we saved recently was quite good. If we had just met five years earlier, I’d have absolutely proposed her.
"Hayato, the regr contact from Nono in Selbira has turned up, 『Peaceful and Dull』 she says."
"Is that so."
Meryest and Loreiya have predicted that Selbira is the most suspicious. Even though Nono are with escorts, it might be dangerous to leave a nonbatant like her there.
"Will someone change ce with Nono to Selbira?"
"Eh~, I don’t wanna. I want to be near Hayato."
"Right~ we’ll fight better if Hayato is near right."
Stress will likely pile up if you’re in thebyrinth city without being able to go into thebyrinth, Rusus and Fifi will likely snap and assault thebyrinth.
Half an hourter, the regr contacte from Seina who has infiltrated into Yowok kingdom.
"I’ll read it loud. 『The poor small country is also peaceful today. I’m bored~』."
It looks like she wants to change ce too like Nono, but the only one who can do infiltration among our members is only Seina the spy. Let her endure it.
Personally, I want the emergence to be in Yowok kingdom. That kingdom has done a great crime of sacrificing my honey for reviving thebyrinth after all.
Not noticing the downfall of Kubooku kingdom since I kept diving into the herobyrinth is a bitter mistake.
◇
"Isn’t there a regr contact from Rin?"
It’s not like that punctual Ringrande.
The undergroundbyrinth on Oyugock city should be inactive, so the demon lord can’t possibly appear there. There must be something wrong with the oracle, but since it’s the birthce of Ringrande, and there’s a wedding of her little brother going on, it’s just right for her to have gone there.
"Hayato is really forgetful~"
"True. So, what does he forget?"
"The regr contact time is changed to afternoon since Rin has some business isn’t it."
Tsk, Rusus and Fifi, you’re just as forgetful.
Right huh, sheined about fighting against the stupid prince of Shiga kingdom on the regr contact yesterday.
Right at that time.
The Control Orb in front of the captain’s seat is flickering intensely.
It seems that someone has used the Talisman of Divine Gift. No, looking at the situation, it’s Ringrande, no mistake ’bout it.
"Everyone, take your position."
"Mary, who’s used the talisman."
"Wait a bit--it’s Ringrande."
As expected huh.
"I’ll wait at the bow. I’ll leave the steering to Wyni."
"Leave it to me."
I shoulder Arondight and rush to the bow.
◇
Coming out of the dark grey space, the ship appears in the original world.
Alright, let’s say the usual line.
"The great me, has arrived!"
Umu, it feels good.
The monsters flying in the air areing to attack the Jules Verne after taking my provocation.
Maryest reports with the speaking tube.
『Ringrande is safe. The enemy is--』
Meryest is hesitating.
You don’t have to say it, I didn’t think that that guy is here.
The one over there is the fated opponent.
I met it three years after I had been summoned as a hero. Our party that I thought to be invincible was utterly defeated by this yellow demon. If mypanions didn’t sacrifice themselves, I might have been killed by this demon.
However, I’m not the same as back then.
I’ll show you directly.
I will not hesitate, I’ll use my full power from the start.
Activating my unique skills, [Strongest Lance (Nothing cannot be Prated)], and [Invincible Shield (Nothing can Prate)], andstly, [Infinite Regeneration (Endless Healing)]. I can only use Infinite Regeneration once in a month, so I’ve been reserving it for fighting the demon lord, but I’ll lose if I hesitate here against that guy.
I’ll leave the small fries to mypanions, and devote myself to fight the yellow bastard.
Mypanions go down from the ship and the ship submerges into the dimensional gap with auto pilot. We can’t lose the precious ship here after all.
"Fall back, you dog of Saga empire!"
What? The stupid prince huh?
Looks like he can use the holy sword of Shiga kingdom, but you’ll make it cry y’know. It’s pitiful for the holy sword if you use it like that. Looks like he can at least use holy verse, but he can’t pull out the holy sword’s power.
I’ll have you witness, the guy who can truly use the holy sword!
"<> Arondight!"
The blue light of the holy sword is more intense than ever.
I activate Flying Boot and plunge to the yellow demon.
Today, Arondight is somewhat different!
