46 Evil Gods plot (2/2)

The forest below where we are flying now may be inhabited by demons.

I heard that if we defeat the Demon King, the damage caused by the demons will stop. That should make this world a lot more fun.

''Wait, guys!

Rage stops everyone as they are flying.

'What's up, Rage?'

I hear a woman scream.

Rage said and flew the pegasus in a different direction from its destination.

'What do you think, Nao?'

I look at Nao.

''That's awesome, Rage-senpai ....... This Nao-san just noticed it too: ......

Nao, whose sensory abilities are extremely high, says as she looks at Rage's back.

'I'm going after you, guys!

Everyone nods when I say it.

This is the only part of Rage that I can count on. Maybe it's the beautiful woman who is definitely in a pinch.

We too hurriedly followed Rage.

◆Sizfe, the freedom fighter girl.

Sisyphe!

My sister Kayna calls my name.

'I know!

Then I look in front of me.

There is a lone orc there.

The giant pig stands up like a human, its figure bigger than me.

Its eyes, wet with lust, look down at me as it licks me around.

''Don't lick it!

He glares at the orcs and I raise my sword.

No help is needed. My companions are fighting another orc. I will have to kill the orc in front of me.

This will not be the first time I have fought an orc. But then there was only one orc, and it was a friend who would fight with me.

But this time there was more than one Orc that attacked me. I'm not sure of their numbers.

We were on our way back to the Republic of Ariadia when we were asked to escort them.

This area was supposed to be an easy job, as there are few monsters in this area.

However, we were ambushed by orcs on the road, and without being able to confirm our numbers, we were in a battle.

This is the first time we've fought multiple orcs.

Normally orcs, unlike goblins, are not supposed to form groups. But now the orcs are attacking us in groups.

This is something that has never happened before.

Half of the freedom fighters who were guarding the carriage were already killed by the orcs' attack.

Only my companion Kayna and a few freedom fighters are left.

If this were true, I would have already been killed as well. But I'm still alive because I'm a woman.

The orcs are trying to capture me unharmed as a woman. They are a disgusting bunch.

But there's an opening.

'Yah!

I deliberately swing my sword slowly.

The orc laughs and swings his club to play the sword.

He's going to flick the sword off and get me unharmed.

Now!

I lower my sword quickly. The cudgel cuts the sky as it is.

It worked. I'm confident in my swordsmanship alone.

The swinging orc loses its stance. I don't miss it.

I kicked the ground and got into my opponent's bosom and plunged my sword into the orc's heart.

''Gu?!''

The orc looks down at me with a look of disbelief.

That's probably true too. Normally, my arm strength would not be able to give a single scratch to an orc.

The skin of an orc is hard enough to be used for leather armor and leather shields.

The only way to scratch an orc is to be a highly trained warrior.

And there is no way a slender-armed seventeen-year-old lass with no particular muscle tone could defeat an orc.

But the magic sword I carry makes it possible. This sword, a memento of my father who was a freedom fighter, is the reason I am able to do what I do as a freedom fighter.

Orcs fall with their swords intact. I was rewarded for underestimating the importance of being a woman.

I try to pull out the fallen sword.

''Huh?!''

I can't get the sword out. Shit, I put too much pressure on it.

I was just about to pull it out, when suddenly my body is lifted.

I turn around and see the face of an orc right near me.

Shit, I didn't notice it approaching me from behind.

''Bu-ho-ho-ho-ho...''

Orcs are smiling happily. Something cold runs down my spine.

'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I scream as hard as I can.

The orc carries me in his arms as he tries to carry me into the forest.

'Help--!　Help me, I hate it!

He rages, but he can't get out of the orc's arms.

I don't want to be the first orc to die. I wouldn't want to be the first orc to die.

It was then that the sky would shine.

”What?

I can't help but meditate.

Then suddenly I am lowered to the ground.

'What is ......'

I open my eyes and turn around to see a headless orc lying on the ground.

I look in the direction the light came from.

A horse is flying in the sky. The light from the horse goes through the orcs one by one. In the blink of an eye, the orcs were all toppled.

''Beautiful......''

I can't help myself.

A man on a celestial horse descends before us from the sky.

His figure is luminous and divine.

The man who descended from the heavenly horse stands in front of me.

The man who rescued me was more beautiful than any man I had ever seen before.

His well-formed face and slender body, his light hair shining in the sun.

His beautiful face smiled gently at me. I can't speak as I admire that face with its hot cheeks.

'Are you okay?'

He calls out to me, but I can't help but fawn over him and stand there in a daze. What was I thinking when I was in danger earlier? I can't think straight because something unbelievable has happened.

But it's rude to not say anything at this point.

Haha, yes, that's a relief!　I almost got kidnapped by the orcs.

I thank him sullenly.

'I heard a call for help as I flew through the air, though, so I came as fast as I could. Looks like you made it in time.

Then he holds out his hand.

I take his hand and am pulled up.

As it is caused, the man's face is close to mine. It smells fresh, unlike the oak.

'I'm Rage. Can you tell me your name, miss?

Cizferia. ......

Hon!

Suddenly, I heard a coughing from behind Rage-sama.

Before I knew it, someone was standing behind Rage-sama. I didn't notice it because I was only looking at Rage-sama.

I let go of my hand in a hurry.

'What is it?'　Chiyuki?

Master Rage looks back. 'I'm sorry I can't see your face anymore.

'Sorry to interrupt your intake, but can I have a word with you, Mr. Rage?

I look from Rage-sama's back to the woman called Chiyuki, who is the voice's partner.

So I take a breath.

'Beautiful......'

I mutter to myself. Second word of the day.

The woman named Chiyuki was very beautiful.

Her white, well-defined face and beautiful, slit eyes. Her body is sleek, and where it comes out, it comes out. Especially beautiful is the black hair that reaches to the waist. It reflects the sun's light and sparkles.

I feel a little depressed when I see it. It's a good thing that he is so cool, there is no way the woman would leave him alone. It was a short love .......

The woman named Chiyuki is looking at me somewhat unhappily.

It's a good idea to have a little talk with them.

She's beautiful, but the cold stare makes me feel uncomfortable.

'Yes, sir. What is it?!

His voice rises as his beautiful eyes stare at me.

'There were twelve orcs that attacked us. Are you sure this is the right one?

'Well ...... no ...... I don't know either. I couldn't confirm how many orcs attacked me because I was attacked so suddenly, so ......

I reply sullenly.

'Yes ....... 'Then I don't blame you. ......'

The woman named Chiyuki sighs.

'What's wrong with your orc numbers, Chiyuki?'

''There were twelve dead orcs, and this is the one you killed all of them, Rage. Strangely enough, there don't seem to be any top orcs among those twelve. This is very strange.

The woman named Chiyuki has lost interest in me and ignores me and continues her conversation with Rage-sama.

'Any sign of other demons in the vicinity?'

'In the meantime, though, I've had Reno-san and Nao-san search for another demon nearby. I don't feel like I'm hiding.

Well, ....... Maybe it's a result of the incident the vice-president of the Sorcerer's Society mentioned. Maybe it's something we can find out if we go to Ariadia and ask for more information.

That's certainly true too: ......

The woman named Chiyuki nodded at Rage-sama's words.

''Also, we still don't know how many people were injured. But now that Sahoko is using her healing magic, everyone should be safe.

'Right. By the way, are there any girls among the injured?

'What ......? None of the girls seem to have been injured. ......

Yeah, that's a relief.

Hearing those words reassures me as well as Rage-sama. Apparently, my companions are safe too.

''Why do you only worry about the girls anymore ......

That's the role of a brave man to protect a fragile woman.

'Oh my God, ...... be the protector of all of them if you can.'

As the two of us are talking, someone approaches us.

The person who approached was the woman who was the subject of our escort, Atrana.

We have been hired to escort her, a merchant, and her goods to Ariadia.

'Thank you. Thank you for your help, brave lady.

Ms. Atrana is bowing to Lady Raige.

It is very graceful to see Miss Atrana, a gracious and oddly aged lady, bowing.

'And you?'

'My name is Atrana, and I am the leader of this troop of merchants. If you hadn't come to me, my brave friend, we would have been in a lot of trouble.

'No, I'm glad I could protect someone as beautiful as you.

Master Rage curtsies to Atrana. 'This one is quite graceful too.

'Well, you're pretty good at it,'

Atrana smiles. Unlike me, she has plenty of room to maneuver. Maybe this is the difference in experience.

But the woman beside me, who says Chiyuki, looks even more unhappy at the sight of it.

I feel that I am somewhat out of place.

The conversation was about to get long, so I left.

'Looks like we're both safe, Sizfe.

When she leaves Rage-sama, sister Kayna comes to her place. She was a woman like herself, so she seems to be safe.

'Yes, Sister Kayna ......, she seems to be safe somehow.

Despite being attacked by a pack of orcs, he survived. It is a miracle.

We rejoice in our safety.

”But it's still amazing: ....... All those orcs were killed in just one second. Is that what the Hero of Light is all about?

The Brave of the Light?

You don't know, Sisyphe. Well, it's still famous around here: ....... I've been told that he is the strongest person east of the continent beyond the Central Mountains. It's said that he was the favorite of the goddess Raina.

Sister Kayna looks at Lady Rage and says.

''You're a brave man, beloved of the goddess. ......

His power is truly something worthy of being called a brave man. Hearing sister Kayna's words, I stared passionately at Rage-sama's back.
