2 Childhood friend with the hero of light (2/2)
''Oh, Lord Lanfeld! Are the wounds done by the brave men good?
The man called Llanfeld bows reverently.
I thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. ─ Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but I need no help from such a stranger. I was once unconscious, but my dark knights are still alive and well. Please let us go.
The man known as Lanfeld appeals to Modes.
'Besides, .......'
He looks at me and glares at me.
'I don't think this one is a match for that brave man.
You're right.
I almost nodded at those words.
''I'm going to see how good you are here!
When I say that, I pull out my sword from my waist and slash at you.
”Wait a minute!
I twist my body and duck the slash. Somehow my body feels lighter than usual.
''Ha!''
Lanfeld comes after him.
Naturally, he ducks the next one.
He softly kneels and grinds his feet, ducking the attacks that Runfeld launches.
Without losing my center of gravity, I duck with the least amount of movement.
When he ducked the first few attacks, he unintentionally grabbed the opponent's hand and threw it away.
''Guhaha!
A moan comes from Lanfeld as he is thrown to the ground.
''I'm sorry!
I apologize for tossing it without a second thought.
But it didn't end there.
'd*mn it!
Lanfeld gets up and thrusts his left hand out towards me.
A black flame flickers in his outstretched left palm.
'Wait, Lord Llanfeld! That magic!
Without listening to Modes' restraint, Lanfeld throws his left hand flame at me.
''Go ahead, my black flame!
The black flames in my left hand spread wide and attacked me.
I can't avoid it.
If you try to escape the flames, you'll have to run to the crowd of monsters surrounding you. At this close range, it would be difficult to move that far.
The black flames are closing in on me.
You involuntarily hold out your hand in front of you and catch it.
I open my eyes wide in surprise at the sight.
The flames are intangible, and you shouldn't be able to catch them with your hands.
Normally, this would have been the case.
But now I was catching that black flame with both hands.
I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few minutes.
''Oh no, my black flame is ......
Lanfeld muttered and nodded emphatically.
Apparently it was his greatest skill or something.
It was an odd sensation.
He looked at his hand as if to check it, but it wasn't burned.
Black flames erupt from my own palm as I recall the sensation I had just experienced.
''!
Startled, I gasp and clutch the black flames in my hand.
I hear the sound of crackling and clapping.
'That's great, Lord Kuroki. Sir Llanfeld is the strongest knight in Nargol, to be able to keep that Sir Llanfeld at bay at all, and also to win the black flame.
Modes laughs. He thought that this would be a good way to defeat the brave men.
What's a black flame?
Come to think of it, the people in the video I just saw also emit light and flames from their hands.
Did they become able to use strange powers after coming to this world?
I can't get my head around it anymore.
Besides, what's the point of really fighting them?
There should be no reason for you to fight in the first place.
So you should avoid fighting.
So what happens if you don't fight?
Will we have to fight to get him back from this world to the one he came from?
Are they also forcing themselves to fight because if they don't defeat the Demon King, they won't be sent back to their home world?
If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to work with them and fight the Demon King?
And then they will be returned to their world by the goddess who summoned them back.
But will Rage let them cooperate?
Rage is cold to a man.
He'll kick you out and say he won't take care of the bastard.
If he was a pretty girl himself, he would help, but unfortunately he's a man, hanging between his legs.
They won't let me help, and after I defeat the Demon King, they'll leave me alone, leaving me alone.
Do you want to dress as a woman? And then contact them to hide the fact that they are crooks.
...... I'm an idiot.
Thinking and shaking your head about stupid things.
That's too much pride.
I don't want to see Shirone, either, although I'm only citing Rage as the reason.
I don't want to see Shirohne, and I'm having a falling out with her to begin with.
So I can't help you.
What should I do then?
You might not be able to send yourself home in the first place, unless you were the one who summoned you.
I glance at Modes.
'Um, ...... do you have to defeat them to get them to return to their original world?
I ask him in passing.
'What? ......?'
But the question was surprising, and Modes made a strange noise.
'...... Is this the way to bring Lord Kuroki home?'
Modes thinks about it.
Then he pulls something from his pocket, something that looks like a piece of paper.
He has a bad feeling about it.
Modes seems to be reading the words on the paper.
'Could it be that you don't know how to return ......?'
Modes is silent in response to the question.
An awkward silence dominates the area.
'...... I see that there is no way to return to this summoning technique.
It was the worst.
'Wait, wait a minute---!
I exclaim.
'What the hell is that!
I scream out loud.
How irresponsible is that?
No, I'm sorry.
Modes apologizes.
He seems to be quite small-minded for a figure.
'Please wait, Master Kroki.
Morna, who was beside me, stands in front of Modes.
She looks at me with a face that looks like she's about to cry.
I can't say anything to those eyes.
Those eyes are a deadly weapon to me, who is not used to women.
'Please, Kuroki-sama. Please listen to Modes-sama.''
