#6 Their story: Aris ril Letia’s story [Subtitle: I saw the devil 3]
The silver devil looked as her right hand as if amazed, and then smiled as if she was amused as she lifted up her left hand.
“Hey unni, try ta block this too!”
Wham!
“Hplete.
“Uwiit? The tasty unni’s entered the pretty unni? Two for the price of one if I hit ya?”
But the devil noticed instantly.
For that matter, even though a god had just descended onto the earth, what the heck is with that delighted face!
-Doooodgee! Whatever you do, dodge!
“That’s my plan tooo!”
The goddess ducked underneath a fist as she said those words.
And befitting her nickname as the goddess of war, the goddess skillfully manipulated a spear in one hand and her shield in the other, as she raised her shield and shouted.
“Turn into stone, Aegis!”
The goddess smoothly activated the curse on the shield!
It might have been different when I used it, but the goddess herself could use the power of the shield much more effectively!
And if we got lucky, even that devil would be turned to stone! That’s our goddess! Our goddess is the best! Do your best, our goddess!
“Uwiik? Sparkle sparkle, my eyes hurt!”
“What?!”
But it had no effect on the silver devil. On the contrary, it opened a chance for a counterattack.
“As I thought, was that really a god of curses of another world!”
“Haang? What kinda bullshit izzat. I’m this world’s sole goddess, Lady Arcadia!”
“I haven’t heard of a goddess by that name before!”
“‘Course, that’s cause I made it up myself!”
Short arms cut through the air.
The self-proclaimed goddess, that was actually a devil no matter how you looked at her swung her hands around.
Those fists looked cute but my instincts were screaming.
If I allowed even a single one of those light hits then it would all be over for me!
“Uwiing? Ya dodgin’ better than I thought? Then dodge this.”
But had it gotten bored of the goddess’s and my struggles?
After outstretching its short arms the devil looked at the goddess, that was to say, my body, and shouted.
“Take this, tentarcardia attack!”
“Wha, what?! Wait, these disgusting movements! You said you were a goddess! Is a goddess allowed to something this disgusting?!”
“Haang, look at this silver shine! This all-natural sparkles! Iz pretty, innit? So I doesn’t matter! Just has ta be beautiful!”
“Beautiful, just what about that is supposed to be beautifuuaaaaallll!”
The mass of silver tentacles wriggled its way towards me!
Scores of tentacles raced in aiming for my head shoulders, thighs and so on.
-Dodge, please dodge!
At my moment of true danger, the goddess said to me, very seriously.
“Aris… Undo the descent.”
-G, goddess?!
Even at my shocked the words the goddess continued speaking solemnly, no, shortly afterwards shouted tearfully.
“D, die on your own! I got hit last time too! Do you know how much that hurt! It’s scary! I don’t wanna! And it’s disgusting! So please undo ittt!”
-We, we’re soul partners, bonded together by our souls! You can do it!
“No! That was a scam contract! We’re contracted because I got hit by that thing! So hurry up and undo it!”
As the goddess said half-throwing a tantrum, I also began to whine as if I couldn’t lose.
-No! if you don’t want to get hit then dodge! You’re the goddess of war! You’re the goddess of wisdom! Show me the majesty of a god!
“You can’t do anything to that even as a god!”
As the silver tentacles crept closer the space where we could dodge in began to get smaller and smaller.
Even if the students around me tried to help they were out in one hit.
If they tried to break through sneakily they were out, if they tried to run they were out.
In the end, there was no one left to help me.
-Is, is this the end?
“N, no! Aris! Hurry and undo it! I’ll be really good to you from now on, mm? So please hurry!
-N, no! if I die then that’s all meaningless!
At the future that was not visible, I shouted to the goddess with all my soul but the goddess’s words were cold.
“That thing doesn’t kill anyone! You won’t die! I’ll guarantee it! So please! Please undo it, it’s getting really hard to dodge now!”
But as soon as the goddess finished screaming, a silver tentacle appeared in front of our eyes.
‘Is this… the end?”
So is all that is left is my fate to fall to those tentacles with my eyes rolling back, drooling everywhere while whimpering in pain.
Why must they, summoner and summon alike, both humiliate me so?
What did I do to them in my past life?
No, even if I did commit wrongs in my past life, isn’t inflicting this kind of ridiculous pain just too much?
“Stop… it.”
And just as I was mulling over my fate, my saviour appeared.
