Chapter 522 (1/2)

17-35 Offenses and Defenses at Purple Towers (2)

Satou here Don't you think situations where allies are ainst each others due to false infora and draressed to the worst-case scenario, but I feel like oftentimes, it would just run off toward eventual failures in real world

“I ae Hero Nanashi+ to a duel”

Lady Brum made the declaration with her sword pointed at me

We encountered heroes' troupe as they were just done dealing with est purple tower located near Saga Empire's old capital

Apparently they received an oracle from God Parion, with the content, ” “Kill the treasonous one who threatens world peace That is hero Nanashi+, avatar of Demon God”

I tried asking Hikaru and she apparently didn't get the oracle

We don't have ti the s for later?

While I was pondering that, several figures of people stood betweenme

“–Oy, lil' girls What do you think you're doing?”

“My wild instinct is telling me this Nanashi+ is the real deal”

“Besides, we've been saved sobunch”

They were the hero Hayato's attendants, tiger-earkin Rusus and wolf-earkin Fifi

“There is no justice in quarreling between comrades in the face of world crisis”

“…Loreiya Even you who should serve God Parion”

“I may not posses Oracle skill, but I want to believe inis evil or not”

Priestess Loreiya joined Rusus and Fifi to form a line

“H-hey wait!”

“Rusus and Fifi aside, why you too Loreiyane!”

Hero Seigi and Hero Yuuki went into panic when they saw that

“What do you mean by us aside huh?”

“Is that how you're gonna repay us, after all the drilling we put you two through before co for the tower?”

Rusus and Fifi glared hard at the two heroes

“B-but you know! It's not just about the oracle!”

Hero Seigi took one step forward

“The [Truth Mind's Eye (There's only one truth)] and [Wicked Search (Where bad people at)] I received from Parion-sama tell me… Hero Nanashi+ is evil, he's definitely and undeniably evil”

Hero Seigi appealed with a half-crying face

The three attendants slightly faltered at his teary appeal

–Apparently, I'm evil

My unintentional thought seeh Familiar Link, as Arisa clapped my shoulder

『–Of course not』

Felt like I could hear Arisa's voice

“Hero Seigi, what's the basis for that [Evil] condemnation of yours?”

“Eh? Basis?”

Hero Seigi seemed to find Arisa's question out of left field

“My Unique Skill tells me That he's [Evil]”

“So you're saying [Evil] from God Parion's perspective?”

Arisa who had anticipated hero Seigi's answer nodded once before pointing out that the judgment doesn't come from impartiality but God Parion's subjective opinion

“I see, so that's how it is”

“You understand, Rusus?”

“Naturally of course! It's like [evil coz the God said so]!”

“I see now!”

Rusus and Fifi had that conversation, but everybody else politely chose to ignore them

No wait, Pochi, Ta at them

『Alrighty, Master, tiht have a hand in the theft of Divinity Crystal by Demon God』

『No no, that's still a hypothesis at this point』

It's alray at this point

Circumstantial evidence doesn't work in the court after all

“Thanks for waiting! Ookay, looks like we've got a situation here”

“Loreiya, could you tell us what's going on”

Two attendants of hero Hayato, lady Ringrande and princess Maryest showed up riding a Flying Wooden Horse

“We received an oracle fro us that hero Nanashi+ is a minion of Demon God”

“”–I see””

The two nodded at Loreiya's concise explanation

“Brum-basan, sorry but could you sheathe your sword please?”

“Ringrande,to take his side too?”

“Yup That's what Hayato askedhim is a pointless endeavor”

“–Pointless?”

Lady Brurande

“You heard ht about now had hero Nanashi+ willed it”

“Even if that is the truth, I'll be sure to pay back in kind”

“Nope, never gonna work Even if there's 100 Brum-basan, it's just impossible Of course that applies to like 1000 of us too”

“Doesn't s you have to do no matter what in this world”

Looks like lady Brum has no intention to withdraw here

Her brawn over brain side really reht Swords

“I understand Let's do this”

–We don't have time

“Hang on, Nanashi+!”

『Don't worry, I won't kill her』

I replied back to the panicking Lady Ringrande through space Magic [Telephone]

“So I'll be up against Brum-san, and two heroes then?”

“Yeah, that's right”

I fetch a self-e and take a stance

“H-hold on! I can't fight at this range, I' you!”

“Hear hear! And I just usedones earlier, gotta wait for the cooldown!”

Lady Bruue

“Very well, I'll go at it by ic Slash”

Lady Bru stroke froh speed irls I had, I could probably dodge her attack with my eyes closed now

I took the sith my Mana Clad hand and crushed it in my hand

“–Wha”

Lady Brum immediately discarded her sword and atteic sword fro Motion, but I'ed to let it slide

I closed in on her using Ground Shrink and lightly jabbed her chin to knock her out

I also ic and stopped her froic

I held the unconscious lady Bruic Hand] and delivered her to the two heroes

“Hero Nanashi+, are you going to destroy this tower too?”

I give my affirmation to princess Maryest

“Oh right, you two helped getting the emperor's approval, didn't you? Thanksies”

I used ventriloquism to make my voice only be heard by Princess Maryest and her coirls on my camp wouldn't hear my Nanashi+ speech pattern

> title [Magician of Sound] Acquired

Whoa, been so long since my last title

The two girls were chuckling for some reason

–Oh right, these two have already figure out the real identity of Hero Nanashi+ (irls

“UWAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

“OUUUUUUUUUUUCH!”

While I was feeling aard, the two heroes screa weirdly

Blue lights flashed out of the two heroes' bodies, red fla around hero Yuuki's arms

Hero Yuuki unleashed warhead missile-like rains of fla explosions around

Hero Seigi caht–most likely his Unique Skill [Sword of Conde back, he was obviously trying to keep the sword away fro me

“N-not good Dodge it!”

Hero Seigi's holy sword suddenly changed its trajectory, heading toward ing it was a simple matter

“Are you being controlled!?”

“Most likely!”

“My body ison its own!”

After I listened to the two's answers, I knocked theic combo and laid them next to lady Brum

『Hikaru, how are you faring?』

『Un, doesn't feel like I' I think it's thanks to the functions built into this armor』

I orried it for a second there since Hikaru is [Parion's Hero] like the two, it was thankfully unfounded

Just in case, I put the two heroes in newly developed golden armors installed with anti mind control circuits

I could have just left theuardout of the tower, so I forcefully sent theic teleport

“I wonder just what is Parion-sa to accomplish…”

Priestess Loreiya murmured in melancholy

“Let's go ask the her personally then Besides, there's no guarantee this was all Parion-sa”

Lady Ringrande clasped priestess Loreiya's shoulder before walking toward me

“Are you going straight to destroying the tower now?”

“No, I've got to close the gate to the Netherworld at the top of the tower before that”

Or onna seal the path that connects to the Netherworld–and if possible, the entire Netherworld

I'm sure not even Demon God could so easily dispatch his armies once he lost access to the low cost route

“We're going with you too”

“That's unnecessary”

“Please don't say that Let us help you thin out theyou problems”

Well, I guess I don't mind
