Chapter 115 The Strongest Appeared (2/2)
[How…… strong.]
[Sieg-san, is that magic?]
[Yes, it’s probably magic that only increases her speed to the limit…… But at such a tremendous speed, it shouldn’t be possible to control it with the kinetic vision of the Humans but……]
[But just now, Alice……]
[Yes, I can’t believe it. She’s…… probably stronger than Lili. She’s clearly beyond the limits of humanity.]

Alice’s combat prowess was unbelievable, even to Sieglinde, who had a large amount of experience as a warrior.
From the tip of his astonished gaze, Alice quietly muttered to Sigma.
[There sure are lots of high-ranking demons that have these so-called “peerage ranks”. People like you who’re overconfident in their own abilities…… who never doubted that their own ability would be surpassed by a Human…… makes a really good prey.]
[……Indeed, I need to change my perception of you. You are strong…… Anyone who can’t keep their head straight would be no match for you.]
[That’s right~~]
[However, you talked too much. And now, I’ve finally calmed myself down.]
It could be said that Sigma had been caught off guard because he thought of Alice as an inferior opponent just now…… and that last exchange and Alice’s words helped him regain his composure.
Considering the point of pure combat power, Alice was originally greatly inferior to Sigma except for her speed.
If a solid attack was made on her while he remains calm and alert, it would be difficult for her to win.
However, hearing Sigma’s words, Alice doesn’t seem to be flustered at all, as a smile appears on her mouth.

[There’s no problem…… “It’s already over” after all.]
[What did you say?]
[……Since we’re at it, how about I tell you what they call me “over there”.]
While saying that, Alice throws the knife on her feet.
Thereupon, Sigma’s feet……the shadows under them turned into countless spear-like shapes and skewered Sigma’s body.
[Ghaa!? Haaaahh!?]
[……Shadow Edge…… Well, you don’t really have to remember it.]
As the skewered Sigma falls down on the ground, she turns away while muttering with disinterest.
Her opponent’s a Baron-level high-ranked Demon…… He should be one of the high ranks in the Demon Realm, but in the end, Alice held the pace from start to finish, and he was defeated without being able to make a single move.
[Well~~ That was quite a formidable opponent.]

[……You were actually amazing huh, Alice.]
[Eh? What’s with that? It kinda feels like you’re really surprised though!? What did you eve think of me of all these times!?]
[Just an idiot.]
[Kaito-san, aren’t you just being too harsh on me!?]
[That guy, is he dead……?]
[No, I made sure that I wouldn’t hit his vitals. Otherwise, I’m sure Kaito-san will be angry at me~~]
Hearing the words she said with a smile, I let out a sigh of relief.
It may seem like a naive idea to do for people who came to attack us, but as expected, I don’t like seeing someone die.
[Well, we just need to find out why they suddenly attacked Kaito-san……]
[Alice?]

[Ahh~ Kaito-san, is it alright for me to go home after all? As expected, I can’t beat that one……]
[Eh?]
Alice’s expression, which had seemed carefree until now, disappeared, and I could even see a streak of sweat on her forehead.
Feeling uneasy about her unusual appearance, I moved my gaze in the direction Alice was looking at.
Then, from the end of the road, there was someone walking slowly towards us.
A huge old man who must be well over two meters tall, wearing heavy-looking armor.
He had a huge axe in his hand, which combined with the sound of his clanging armor, gave off an intense sense of intimation towards us.
[Geez, I even told them not to rush in acquiring achievements and not to misread Megiddo-sama’s will……]
[No way…… Could he be….. the “Ironblood Bacchus”……]
Seeing the old man whose calm voice shows his deep experience, Sieg-san mutters while trembling.

Ironblood Bacchus…… Looking at Alice and Sieg-san’s reactions, I could understand that he will be a tremendous opponent.
Perhaps sensing my doubts who this old man is, Alice nervously answered.
[There are five Count-level high-ranked Demons serving War King-sama…… and each of the five generals under War King-sama…… to put it bluntly, were monsters.]
[……so they’re dangerous opponents huh……]
[They’re not just dangerous. High-ranking demons from the Count-level and above them were truly exceptional. They have the power to wipe out an entire city……]
[ ! ? ]
A person who is so powerful that he could even wipe out an entire city…… No matter how I think of it, he’s a dangerous person.
Within that atmosphere filled with heavy tension, Bacchus turns to me with a wry smile on his face.
[Miyama Kaito…… I’m sorry. My subordinates were rude to you.]
[……Eh?]

[Good gracious, it’s troubling how youngsters these days are hot-blooded…… On behalf of my subordinates, please accept my apology.]
[Ah, no……]
Seeing him not looking particularly dangerous at all, I hurriedly nodded at Bacchus’s words, who spoke to me as if we were just making small talk.
[Geez, no matter how many barriers there are that can block Death King-sama and World King-sama’s detection……. If they harm you, they will be killed afterwards, but they don’t know that…… I should have warned them a bit more.]
[…………….]
[……However, the fact that it happened can’t be helped. I know that it’s our side’s fault because they did as they pleased but….. I’m sorry, I can’t just go back after having my subordinates be defeated.]
[ ! ? ]
Magic power like surging winds released from Bacchus’s body as he slowly muttered.

[I’m sorry, shall I have you fight against me as well…… Warriors of Humanity.]
[……Kaito-san, this is bad. There’s no way we can win. Can’t you somehow use your lucky power to call for a super-powerful reinforcement or anyone like that?]

[If I could do that, I would have done it by now.]
Seeing Bacchus, who is easily holding that large axe, Alice sounds flustered, while Sieg-san and Anima stiffened because of nervousness.
The other party is an existence that is so powerful that it can wipe out a city…… There’s no we could do anything against him.
And although I wasn’t conscious of my actions, before I knew it, I had stepped in front of the three of them, protecting them behind my back.
I’m not sure I could ever come up with anything to defeat him…… but I didn’t want the three of them to get hurt.
However, seeing my actions, Bacchus looked somewhat impressed.
[Hoohhh…… I thought you were just some youngster, but for you to still advance before my magic power, you have quite the spunk in you huh. And, it is as you perceived…… I would certainly be troubled if you were to stand before me.]
[………………]
I didn’t know what he was talking about.
I didn’t come forward because I had such ideas, but Bacchus was telling me that he would be troubled…… and that I had perceived something…..

[Megiddo-sama told me to bring you to him…… but he hasn’t told me that I may harm you. If I harm you, and do something against Megiddo-sama’s will…… I will be killed. That is to say, I can’t attack you……]
[…………..]
[However, if I were to follow his will…… It will be fine for me to attack anyone aside from you. Good grief, it’s quite tough being old but…… I guess I’ll have to be nimble and quickly slip through you.]
[ ! ? ]
I thought I had seen a ray of hope, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, as Bacchus carefreely walked towards us.
The other party is a Count-level Demon…… He’s probably much faster than that Sigma earlier.
I can’t see any carelessness or openings at all…… There’s really nothing I can do about him……
[Everyone, run……]
[I will have to decline.]

[Even though it’s master’s order, that’s something I won’t follow.]

[Then, good work out there……. Ah, no, it’s a lie. I will stay, yes.]
I was ready to give up and be taken to War King-sama, and just let the three of them run away but…… They refused. No, there was that one who tried to leave normally, but after Sieg-san and Anima glared at her, she flusteredly stood in front of me.
[Kaito-san’s lucky power didn’t make explosions yet huh……. I guess I can only prepare myself.]
And now, Bacchus and the three of them…… Just as the unwinnable battle was about to begin, a quiet mutter rang out in the silence.
[……I see, calling it lucky power may really be quite fitting. I was just passing by this area by chance, but I may actually be led here by Kaito-sama’s summon.]
[……Eh?]
[Mhmm……]
Hearing that familiar voice resounded, before I knew it, a shadow stood in front of us.
She, who seems to be on her way home from shopping and leisurely standing in front of us, holding a paper bag, quietly spoke to Bacchus.
[As you may know, as a maid who spends every moment in accordance with her duties, I hate doing useless stuff. Therefore, I will only give you one warning.]

[……Ein…… -san?]
[……I suggest you surrender.]
Dear Mom, Dad—– It’s often said that lightning strikes twice, and this time, a Count-level high-ranked Demon appeared, and it certainly was a desperate situation. However, I guess luck still hasn’t given up on us——– As the strongest (maid) appeared.
Spoiler alert, the maid wins.
Maids are the strongest profession in the otherworld after all.
