Chapter 115 The Strongest Appeared (1/2)

After the attack by the War King’s envoys that suddenly appeared, Sieg and Anima defeated Eta and Theta, and Sigma, a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, started to break his silence.

And then, the ultimate idiot appeared as our helper and stopped him.

[Aren’t your treatment to me too bad!?]

Don’t send tsukkomis to my inner monologue, idiot……

Anyway, I’m grateful that Alice came to our rescue.

It’s only my guess based on her actions so far, but I think she’s pretty strong.

[Now then, now then, where’s Kaito-san’s enemy?]

[You don’t even know what’s going on here!?]

[No, I don’t~~ To be honest, I was already over there waiting for the “cute furry to make her entrance”…… But when I was thinking of a cool way to make my entrance, I was surprised to see the whole situation change!]

I don’t know if we can really rely on this woman……

Still in her stuffed costume, Alice looked around and when she noticed Sigma’s presence, she tilted her head…… no, she tilted her whole body.

[……Kaito-san, isn’t that a High-ranked Demon?]

[He’s apparently a Baron-level high-ranked Demon……]

[Ah, is that so. A Baron-level huh, then I’m relieved.]

[……The clown over there, what the heck are you trying to say……]

Hearing Alice’s words she said in a dopey tone while popping her stuffed costume’s large hands together, Sigma’s expression changed to one of clear displeasure.

I mean, Alice, he just met you and he immediately calls you a clown……

[No, look, a high-ranked Demon about the Count-ranked would really be monsters…… So it would be a tough fight~~~ is what I thought…… but I’m glad that I’m just fighting a “weakling”.]

[……You…… Are you mocking me?]

Hearing Alice’s carefree words, his vein popped out on Sigma’s forehead.

Even so, he still doesn’t immediately slash our way, is it because of his pride as a warrior, or is it because Alice isn’t in any stance yet?

Against such a Sigma, Alice leisurely turned around and took a step forward…… and crumbled on her knees.

[Guhhh……]

[Alice!?]

What!? Did something happen!?

I can’t really see any of their attacks, so I wouldn’t know if he attacked already……

[W- Why are my old wounds, at a time like this……]

[Old wounds?]

I thought she had been hit by an invisible, swift attack, but apparently, that’s not the case.

Still lying on the ground, Alice puts her hand out to the size and makes a sphere the size of a baseball appear.

[A- At a time like this…… if I only I could have “sold this Newest Portable Illumination Magic Tool for 1000R”, I could easily defeat that guy……]

[……………..]

[Sh*t, I can’t believe I had to watch you get beaten up, Kaito-san!]

……This f*cking bitch.

She exactly knows what was going on, but she’s still messing around.

I silently approached Alice, took the magic tool from her hand and placed a silver coin in its stead.

Thereupon, Alice stood up as if nothing had happened.

[I won’t allow you to hurt Kaito-san, even if the Gods themselves allow it, I won’t allow it! Come at me, you servant!!!]

[…………………]

Arehh? Alice came here to rescue me, right?

But what is this, this budding feeling of mine…… This feeling of wanting to smack her in the head with all my might……

[Are you finished with your farce? Well then…… die!]

[Wha!?]

At that moment, Sigma had already approached right in front of Alice in an instant.

Thereupon, a high-speed strike released from his iaido stance cut Alice’s body in half diagonally from below.

[Alice!?]

[Aliiicccceeee!!!]

[……Unnn?]

Seeing that, I reflexively shouted, but for some reason, another voice shouted along from beside me as well.

[How could this be, for that Alice to be easily defeated…… This is the appearance of an incredibly powerful enemy! Kaito-sa—— Ouch!?]

[……What the heck are you doing there……]

Before I knew it, Alice had taken off her costume and was beside me in her opera mask, messing around as if it’s obvious, so I struck my fist on her head.

Alice rubbed her head and opened her mouth in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.

[But~~ That guy was so slow…… I was bored with waiting until he finally came over here, so I went around and joined the spectator’s side for a bit.]

[……I’m slow? Now you said it, clown.]

[That’s right~~ I’m a clown after all, and I can’t get excited without any fanfares.]

While muttering to Sigma, who has clearly become more irritated and regained his stance, Alice takes out a pocket watch from her pocket while still looking carefree.

[Three…… Two……]

[You, what in the world are you—— Wha!?]

Immediately after Sigma dubiously looked at her bizarre action, the remnants of the stuffed costume lying at Sigma’s feet flashed with light.

[One…… Boom.]

[ ! ? ]

Thereupon, after a thunderous sound resounded, a flash of light engulfed Sigma’s body.

[F*cking clown! You and your little tricks!]

Sigma shouts evasively as he dispels the smoke caused by the explosion.

And then, a few knives come flying in his direction, cleaving through the smoke.

[Tsk!]

However, Sigma is a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, quickly knocking away the knives that flew at him.

A moment after he was about to move away from the smoke, knocking away all the knives sent his way, Sigma heard a small wind noise and moved his sword on the back of his head.

[Oya? I was blocked huh.]

[……Don’t look down on me. (I can’t feel this clown’s presence at all? Is she a hidden warrior? It would be bad to fight her while visibility is poor.)]

Sigma moves away from the smokes, knocking down the knife swung away from his blind spot and keeping Alice in check as her blades return back to her.

Towards such a Sigma, Alice approaches her from the front without any tricks, unlike she did before.

[Got you!]

[Whoa there.]

[What!?]

As Sigma calmly swings his sword in a sideways slash toward Alice, who was charging at him with a fast, but filled with openings charge, but she avoids by sinking her body low…… down on the ground.

She then flips her body around with one hand on the ground, and from that position, she unleashes a kick at Sigma’s face.

It’s a very tricky move, but Sigma anticipated the trajectory of her kick and quickly avoided it…… but just as he was about to do so, a knife planted on Alice’s shoes popped out.

[ ! ? ]

[Fyuuu~~ Even this attack only made a scratch huh, you have a great reaction time!]

Even the strike with her hidden knife didn’t result in a direct hit, and Alice quickly rotated her body to regain her stance and stepped away from him.

With Sigma’s physical ability, it was possible to chase after her, but Sigma didn’t choose to do so, but stood there and sharply stared at Alice.

[……You’re quite a versatile fellow huh.]

[Why, thank you.]

[…………… (She’s precisely aiming at my vitals. Moreover, it looked really polished…… An assassin?)]

Sigma was measuring Alice’s strength in that exchange just now.

Her speed was fast, but her power, not so much. An opponent that was light on her body and could unleash tricky attacks……

[I have a clear understanding of your power already. I see, you are indeed very fast for a human…… but you are no match for me. The next exchange will be your death.]

[You don’t sound convincing with that cut on your face. Or rather, you’re just like a fool.]

[You…… fine. This is the end of the needless talk. The speed that you’re so confident of…… shows your limits as a Human. Let me show you… the fastest slash.]

With that said, Sigma deeply leans down his body, and takes an iaido stance while boosting himself with his magic power.

A super-fast strike released from the physical ability of a Baron-level high-ranked Demon, a strike that is far beyond the level of human perception anymore, that’s what Sigma thought would settle this matter

.

And then, the distance of about five paces was closed down in an instant, and a strike that would reap away Alice’s life—— didn’t happen.

[……Wh……at?]

[Did I even say that was my top speed?]

Yes, when Sigma was about to move to attack, Alice had already landed in front of Sigma…… and stomped on the hilt of his sword.

This time, Alice leisurely swings the knife in her hand against Sigma, who looked at her, astonished.

[Guh!? Sh*t!]

[……Was it too shallow?]

Sigma leaps backwards to dodge the slash aiming for his neck, but he can’t completely avoid it, and blood flows from his neck.

[Your premise is wrong to begin with. Humans are indeed inferior to most Demons in terms of physical ability if you just look at them as a race. However, that doesn’t mean that there are no Humans who can defeat Demons~~]

As Alice speaks as she flippantly laughs at him, Sieglinde, who was watching this situation which looks like she’s completely overpowering this Baron-level high-ranked Demon with Kaito from a distance, opens her mouth in astonishment.
