113 Crystal Garden (1/2)

Polen, Princess of the Devil's World

”Lady Musa!　Why are those kids on board again?!

A beautiful woman is protesting to Mutha, the goddess of poetry.

The reason why she's protesting is because we're on board Master Alfoss' ship again.

Moreover, this time we're also carrying Kroki-sensei's demon dragon Glorious on board.

Since the giant Glorious has boarded the ship, the beauties have been driven to the side of the ship.

Therefore, grumbling is flying around.

If this one had even had Master Alfos' holy dragon Valginia on deck, it would have been too small.

That Valginia is back in his room in this ship, so he's not on deck. Thanks to that, we all managed to get on board.

''Musa-sama~. Let's get rid of those kids.''

As one of the beauties says this, the other beauties begin to join in.

Alfoss's female warriors begin to take up arms.

”Your Highness. You can't go wrong with this. What are you going to do?

Poo-chan says to me.

When I look at his face, his hand has already changed into a beast.

Poo-chan's other form is a big bear.

He was a cute little bear when he was little.

I remember Poo-chan when I was little.

Eritena, Pu-chan's mother, brought him to me as my playmate.

A little cub about the same size as me.

I played a lot with my first friend.

But the cub grew up and got bigger and bigger.

He grew so big that he reached the ceiling of my room.

That's when I realized how hard it was to play with him.

The bear cub turned into a little girl in human form.

I was amazed. How could a little cub turn into such an adorable girl?

According to Eritena's story, Eritena's clan can take on another form when they grow up.

Poo-chan in her new form looked like Eritena.

I was very jealous.

I wished I looked like my beautiful mother.

I don't look like my mother at all.

Isn't this a little funny?

We're father and son, so shouldn't there be a little bit of similarity between us?

But there's no point in talking like that now. You're right, Mr. Kuroki, we'll do the best we can.

Calm down, bear. Kroki's fight is about to begin.

Master stops Poo-chan.

Master's eyes are pointed straight at Kuroki-sensei.

Despite the fact that Alfos-sama's beauties have turned so much hostility towards us, Master Kuna remains calm.

He doesn't seem to be interested in the beauties.

'But Master. It looks like they're going to attack us for some reason. ......

The warrior girls have already drawn their weapons.

They'll be on their way.

I'm sure they will. I'll shut him up.

The master holds the scythe. He has no intention of losing.

At this rate, there will be blood on this ship.

''Wait!

Mytha stands between us.

'Stop!　Don't put your weapon away!　Alfos doesn't want a fight!　Everybody wait until the fight is over!　It's good for you too!

Mytha looks at me.

'Yeah, I don't mind. I'm afraid I'll miss Kroki's fight if I leave you guys alone. That's more important.

Master Coona lowers his scythe.

'I thank you. Witch. I, too, value the fight for Alfos.

Two beautiful women look out of the empty boat.

Two knights are at the top of a mountain visible from the empty boat, their swords drawn and ready.

The pure white holy knight Alfos-sama holding an azure holy sword with the brilliance of a star.

The dark knight, Kuroki-sensei, who has a magic sword with a red pattern carved into the black sword barrel.

The two sides will fight again.

'Dr. Kroki: ....... Good luck.

I was anxious to watch its disappearance.

Dark Knight Kroki.

Well, I'm going to play single combat this time, Dark Knight. I hear you're very strong.

Alfos asks himself.

'But it doesn't look like that to me. The reason I defeated the brave man of light is because he may simply have been weak.

Alfos laughs.

'So let me just make sure I'm here.

It was that moment when Alfos's figure wavered.

In an instant, he was out of time and I swung my sword.

I block Alfos's sword with my magic sword.

It's fast.

It might be as fast as Rage. I'm a bit surprised.

You can't get away with it. Well, that's something you have to do.

Alfos kept his attitude relaxed.

'But you're slower than me. If this is the case, you must be weak, brave boy of light.''

Alfos is coming again.

He meets Alfos coming toward him with his sword.

My sword clashes with Alfos'.

It's light.

It's like slashing a feather.

Alfos is bounced by his own sword and spins quickly through the air, then turns around and slashes at me from behind.

He moves with a grounded foot so as not to break his center of gravity and catches it with his sword.

''Heh, you're going to prevent this too. It seems to be stronger than the opponents we've fought so far. But will you be able to keep up with my movements?

Alfos's spare laugh.

Fast indeed. And sharp.

But it's not without counter-measures.

”You are indeed fast. In that case, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I am a black flame spewing out of my entire body.

No matter how fast your opponent is, you just need to have black flames around you so that you can deal with them no matter where they come from.
