114 Dark Knight VS Paladin (2/2)

Polen is cheering himself on as he joins the voices of the beautiful women from earlier.

I can tell from her voice that she is crying.

There's no way I can say I'm visiting with this.

Pollen has been holed up for his ugly appearance.

I made him work hard to get Polen out like that.

There is no way he could say ”merry-go-round” to her.

There is no way I can say that.

You're not the kind of fine person who can preach to anyone. ......

But, I think.

I'm sure you're not going to find it hard to stay indoors forever, are you?

I still remember.

When I came to this world and Modes asked me to fight Rage.

What would have happened if I had run away then?

I think I would have probably been running from Rage all along.

That might be peace.

But I didn't get to see Kuna. So I'm glad we fought.

It's not wrong to avoid fighting.

If we fight, we might lose. Losing can be painful, and it can kill you.

You can't lose if you keep running, if you keep shutting yourself away.

But you can't win if you keep running and shutting yourself away.

Blindly fighting is not a good idea, but if you run when you should be fighting, you're more miserable than you are defeated.

What would have happened if we had run away laughing when the beautiful women on Alfos' side made fun of us?

It might not have been a fight. But it's miserable.

That's why we fight.

You can't run in front of Pollen.

You're too persistent. You too!　Come on, let's get you down!

Alfos' sword attacks him. He seems a bit impatient.

''I'm not going to lose---！！！！''

Desperately, he wields his sword to block Alfos' attack.

You can't keep this up and lose so easily: ----！！！！！！！

It may be futile, but I will persevere to whatever extent and in whatever way I can.

I clench my teeth at the thought.

The princess of the demon world, Pollen.

Above the aurora borealis in the sky. Below, the dark knight Kuroki-sensei and the holy knight Alfos-sama are fighting.

The situation is that Kuroki-sensei is being tortured one way or the other.

You'll be able to find out how long it's going to last, although the teacher is managing to hold off Alfoss-sama's sword.

”What is this~. It's a shame~. Pupu.

'How could you want to fight Alfoss-sama with that thing? You've got some dignity.

He's a fool. You're no match for Master Alfoss.

What a shameful sight. It's like a garden-vest. They're nothing like Master Alfoss~

You're right~. You're really a pest~. Hahahahahaha.

”Master Alfoss!　Such vermin! Hurry up and get rid of them!

Do it!　Alfoss-sama~!

The beautiful women laugh happily at Kuroki-sensei, who is desperately trying to escape from Alfos-sama's sword.

''Aww. Your Highness Polen. His Excellency is ...... going to lose his Excellency.

Pu-chan, who is sitting beside me, says to me with a worried look.

But I'm anxious as well.

I feel like I'm going to cry.

But I can only support her.

''Kuroki-sensei, I'm good!　Please, please, please!　Don't lose, yeah!

Desperately shouting at the top of my lungs.

I don't know if the teacher can reach me. But even so, I have to voice it.

That's all I can do.

Master Kuna, who is beside me, is quietly watching the battle.

Somehow, I feel that his expression is becoming grim.

Even Glorious, who is injured and resting, is leaning his head back and watching the course of the battle.

''Hey, you guys. How do you feel now?　The Dark Knight is about to lose, how do you feel?

A group of beautiful women come over to us, laughing.

They all act like they're mocking me.

I can't help but glare at them.

Wha~? A pig. What are your eyes?

Ouch! Scary pigs are staring at you~. But that's too bad~. Alfos-sama will save us. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Yes, that's right. If Alfoss-sama defeated that dark knight, it's your turn to go next~. Even that dragon there isn't afraid of you.

”Snarl like a pig. Aside from that silver-haired girl over there, it's not right for ugly pigs like you to challenge us to a fight.

Yeah, yeah. Look at that. The dark knight protecting the pig in his BUZZA☆MA form.

''A pig knight is only that much~. You can't see his face with his helmet, but if you look at him, he's bound to look like a rat.

'Yes, it's absolutely ugly. Because he's in an ugly pig's place.

The beauties giggle shyly.

It's frustrating.

It's not just me who is ugly, but also the teacher who defended me.

It's true that he's not as glamorous as Alfos-sama. Maybe if I was in the same place as the Elyos lords, I wouldn't stand out.

But it's just that he's not conspicuous. His appearance is not at all outdone. She's plain, but she has a very well-defined face.

And most importantly, she's very kind to me, even though I'm like this.

So, the teacher is the best of me. No one can beat me.

'Ugh ....... The teacher can't be defeated by .......

I say back desperately.

'What?' What are you talking about, pig? Your Dark Knight is no match for Master Alfoss.

'Yes, yes. You seem to be desperately wielding your sword, but it hasn't reached Master Alfoss at all.

'Yes, it's useless to try and do it. The ugly dark knight is no match for the beautiful holy knight, Alfos.

'Hmmm. Ugly guy's efforts are just unseemly~

Why don't you stop wasting your time and get on with it?

The mockery of beautiful women.

Regret. It is frustrating. But I can't do anything about it.

They can say whatever they want.

Doesn't Master Kuna regret it?

He looks at his master.

'?

I almost let out a squeal of surprise.

If I look closely, I can see my master laughing.

What does he mean when he's being beaten by Kuroki-sensei?

They're a noisy bunch, aren't they? Can't they just watch it in silence?

The master's face has a spare smile on it as he says this.

It looks like he is mocking the beautiful women.

The beautiful women who have noticed their master's state of mind look at him suspiciously.

''What is so funny?　A witch? Your Dark Knight is about to lose.

The beauties make a commotion, and noticing the state of their master, Musa comes over and asks him a question.

'Kroki loses?　What are you talking about? Kroki's got your man. Look closely. Kroki's sword will reach you.

Then he points to Dr. Kroki.

'What a stupid thing to do: ......'

That's when Mytha turned around.

「「「「「「「「 What? 」」」」」」」」

The surprised voices of the beauties overlap.

In front of the beauties' eyes is Kuroki-sensei, who has raised his sword. And in front of him is an upturned Alfos-sama standing on his back.

The bare face of Alfos-sama has a shocked expression on his face.

Alfos-sama's pure white helmet, which was flung off by Kuroki-sensei's sword, draws a parabolic line and falls to the crystal floor.

The beauties buzz.

Kuroki-sensei's sword, which hadn't even grazed them a moment ago, had reached Alfos-sama for the first time.

Master laughs happily.

'You say Alfos, that's quite a feat. You've made Kroki go through a lot of trouble to get here. I'll give you credit for that. But that's over. Now it's time for Kroki to go.
