We succeeded in defeating the heroes with overwhelming force! And since the knights, the opponent’s main force, have been destroyed by the president’s tear gas, I think we can buy a lot of time.

 

“Oh, fuck! Get off me!”

 

All right, let’s keep Fukuyama-kun in his “sleeping cocoon”. If he moves, it’s troublesome, but if he dies, it’s also troublesome.

 

… That what I was thinking

 

“Damn it, I’ll remember this! I will defeat you all! [Space Leap]!”

 

… Fukuyama is an instantaneous movement skill user. Suzumoto laughed at this.

 

… Oh yeah, no wonder he was able to get back to the temple from that auction house. That’s not good. It’s going to be pretty hard to catch him… 

 

『 Target F escapes with skill. I repeat, target F is escaping with skills. We don’t know where they’ll come, and we don’t know when they’ll run. Be careful. 』 

 

When Suzumoto told all of them via [Communication], they each responded appropriately.

 

Let’s see, Kadomi-kun and Toriumi are, ah, sinking the president’s shot with a peak. Also, Kadomi-kun’s sword had a skill called [Authority], I wonder if he still uses it. It seems like they’re aiming for an opponent who loses his fighting spirit and wins by default. It’s like he’s trying to get his opponent to lose his will to fight and not win.

 

… Well, if we have an overwhelming amount of strength on our side, we don’t have to kill, we’d rather not kill.

 

In fact, on our side, the president and Katori are too overspecified for the group…

 

Especially Katori.

 

Why did you make a humanoid mobile weapon? You’ve got too much on your plate right now, you know!

 

… Well, I think the knights’ will to fight has already been shattered by the appearance of this… 

 

Who in the world would be willing to fight over an object that they have never seen before…?

 

 

Overall, it seems that most of the knights of the temple were knocked out of the fight by the president’s dozen or so shots of tear gas. I can’t help but think that chemical weapons are amazing.

 

Most of the omissions were made by Kadomi-kun and Toriumi, and overall, it was so disappointing…

 

I guess we’ll wait for Hariu.

 

Hariu is now crossing the shadows to explore the interior of the temple.

 

As soon as we find the body (physical), we will retreat and use Hariu’s Minamo-chan viewpoint to meet up and protect all the body (physical).

(TN: Minamo-chan is the maid doll.)

 

This is the reason why I wanted to raid the temple before the heroes did.

 

I think the temple would rather kill the heroes than turn them. If so, there is a possibility that if we contact the heroes first, they will destroy the body (physical) at that moment.

 

I just want to get in touch with the heroes when the temple is no longer holding the body of those who were made heroes.

 

… This is a stall for that. This battle is.

 

So, there was no need to overpower the temple thoroughly, but it would be faster to show as much overwhelming force as possible to get the heroes or the head of the temple to come out quickly.

 

 

『 I saw a knight of some importance moving inside the temple. It’s a little bit strong, so be careful. 』 

 

I’ve been looking at the main entrance of the temple from a distance because I received a [Communication] from Hariu, and a little while later, about ten knights in different designs of white armor came out.

 

It seems they are saying something, but I can’t hear them from here. I’m sure the president and Kadomi-kun can hear it, so I’ll ask them later.

 

… And the next moment, an arrow of light hit my clothes and popped. Oh, I didn’t see it. Thank God it’s magic. If it had been a real bullet, it would have pierced me… If it was a real bullet, it would probably be slower, I think I need some pre-movement or something, so I’ll know.

(TN: I have no idea what the last sentence means. “実弾だったら多分もっとゆっくりだと思うし、事前動作とか必要だと思うからやっぱり分かるだろうけど。”)

 

『 Hey, Maito, Maito! I want to do “payback”! 』 

 

I hear a voice from under the shoulder pads of my armor. It’s Huntle, as usual.

 

He’s grown so big after his molt that he can’t fit into his sleeves anymore. Well, it does, but the appearance of being in it has become bare. It became too tight.

 

But he still wanted to follow me, so I hid him in my armor and carried him away. In addition, Ketorami is staying at home as usual. There is no need to expose your cards, and in the first place, Ketorami had no intention of doing so.

 

He was very interested in the Demon King, but he didn’t like the idea of engaging in battle afterward.

 

Yeah, well, I don’t mind because I’m already over specced when I have the mo○suit.

(TN: This sentence doesn’t make sense to me at all. “うん、まあ、モ○ルスーツが一体いる時点で既にオーバースペックだから構わないんだけどね。”)

 

So, the problem is Huntle.

 

Maybe what just came is a light version of [Shadow Edge]. I think that’s why Hantle is so excited. The only offensive move that Huntle can use is [Shadow Edge].

 

But if I fight back and get spotted, there’s no point in me sitting here alone in a safe zone, smiling and looking comfortable.

 

I can still handle it if they come at me with one shot like they are now, but if they come at me seriously, I can see that I won’t win.

 

Then we’d have to withdraw, which wouldn’t look good. I’d like to avoid being told, “Oh, he’s not as good as his mouth is, is he?”

 

“… That’s why you can’t fight.”

 

『 Moo… can’t help it, Maito became a demon king, right? 』 

 

It’s an act, though.

 

『 The Demon King is a very smart man… 』 

 

… Hmm?

 

『 That’s why he fought the goddess. 』 

 

… Huh?

 

“You know about the Demon King?”

 

『 Yes! My mother used to tell me about it. 』 

 

“Do you know about Ketorami too, by any chance?”

 

『 I think I do, because I know Ketorami. 』 

 

… Oh, my God!

 

“Well, um, so how would you feel about me calling myself the Demon King, Huntle? Don’t you hate it?”

 

『 Eh, it’s fine if Maido does it, it’s funny! 』 

 

… Oh, I’ll ask Keturami about that later… 

 

“We’ll talk about it later. No takeback. Okay?”

 

『 Okay! 』 

 

O-Okay, I wonder what’s coming next…

 

 

The ten new knights that came out were strong.

 

They are not the same as the ones that were just numbers. Because they are balanced with Kadomi-kun. It’s kind of crazy.

 

I wonder if [Authority] works. It’s kind of crazy if it works.

 

The one fighting Kadomi-kun seems to be the leader of the group, so we can assume that he is the captain of this group of knights. But it’s not good if Kadomi-kun can’t attack.

 

Toriumi is… oh my, what should I do? I know that it’s useless for me to go help him, so I can’t do anything about it, and he can [Transfer] if he gets in trouble… Now he’s being brought into a two-on-one. What was the knight?

 

The only thing I can say is that I’m glad Toriumi is an endurance specialist. Even so, he managed to land a single blow on each of the two knights, so I guess he’s pretty handy.

 

As for Suzumoto, I don’t know what to say.

 

The other side knows that they will be cut down if they move, and Suzumoto is unable to move due to his low durability.

 

Yes, I would be more grateful if they just went for the time up.

 

The one who is good to see is Katori.

 

A laser beam aimed at the knight’s knee. He’s the one who’s aiming at his knee.

 

The only problem is that the vanguard group is afraid of hitting their allies if they try to target someone who is fighting, and the other problem is that no more knights are coming at them after the first three knees.

 

As for Katori, it seems that he can’t control the precision of that aircraft, so there’s nothing he can do if he gets into a melee with his allies.

 

He has the [Must Hit] skill, so he can go out and use his own skill to shoot lasers, but for lasers that extend in a straight line or something. It also means that if there are any allies on that line, they will get involved.

 

In other words, if he gets out of the aircraft, he’ll be in danger, so the only thing he can do is to shield himself.

 

The president was also struggling quite a bit.

 

There is no time for that president to use poison. He’s not the kind of guy who can fight a strong one-on-one battle. In fact, it’s amazing that he’s able to survive against that knight with earth magic and the like… No, he’s using it. Maybe. The knight’s movements are lacking in sharpness. I wonder if they released some kind of slow-acting paralytic poison. That’s what gas masks are for, right?

 

Kariya was probably the hardest hit, or rather, the most difficult to deal with. He was not a warlike person by nature, and he was a medic in the rear guard. But his outfit was too suspicious and he was targeted. And Kariya quickly gave up on fighting.

 

… In other words, he went on the same tactic as me.

 

“Ark” is a perfect guard, and the knights who are gunning for it are mocked and goaded.

(TN: Not sure what this means. “『箱舟』で完全無欠のガードと成して、そこにガンガン剣打ち込んでくる騎士を嘲笑って煽る、という。”.)

 

Oh, good for him. He’s using the mace effect right away.

 

In addition, there is no need to worry about running out of MP regarding Kariya. Sometimes he pretends to be relaxed and drink mint extract.

 

Hagasaki-kun is on the sidelines beside me.

 

The knight who came at me was probably the weakest, but he was also the best at what he did.

 

He ran right into his opponent’s magic and used [Ice Coffin] to create an icicle. You’ve got some nerve.

 

“Maito, you were just flying around doing magic and stuff, are you okay?”

 

“Yeah, well, we’re both Huntle caretakers, aren’t we?”

(TN: What? “「うん、まあ、ハントルの親様様、ってところだね、お互い」”)

 

“Yeah.”

 

I have to admit that I was a little nervous about Fukuyama-kun sword, but I guess his personality was a blessing in disguise.

 

He aimed at my head, you know. Straight ahead.

 

If he had aimed at my legs, I might not have been able to avoid it, but my head, my head. It was too straight and easy to avoid.

 

If I take one step to the side, you’re sure to miss. The rest was just a matter of checking reflexively and moving quickly.

 

… That was dangerous, wasn’t it? Well, if the worst thing happens, it will heal.

 

 

In the meantime, Kadomi-kun’s side was gaining the upper hand, Toriumi’s side was miraculously able to eliminate one of them, and Suzumoto’s side hadn’t moved yet, but Hariu sent a message.

 

『 I found it! First of all, connect Minamo-chan to it. 』 

 

Okay, let’s start [Share] Minamo-chan vision!

 

… It’s a dark room. There is a shelf. Glasses lined up all over the shelves. I think there are about 20 of them, just from a quick glance.

 

But well, what can I say… the creepiness of this temple has jumped substantially.

 

『 Are we done? Have you seen it yet? Can I leave now? I don’t want to be here anymore… 』 

 

“All right. Come back. Come back here so I can wrap you up and [Transfer].”

 

『 Ah, yes. Then can I stay in Maito-san’s shadow? 』 

 

“Come in, come in.”

 

After such an exchange, I suddenly felt my shadow become heavier, or rather…  I had a strange, shivering sensation down my spine, and Hariu’s cheerful voice, “I’m back,” echoed directly in my head.

 

O-Oh. So, you’re here. You’re fast. As expected from ninja.

 

 

『 All hands retreat? 』 

 

I just got a call from Toriumi, so I guess they’re about to finish up there too.

 

“Yes! All hands retreat! Return immediately!”

 

As soon as I said to the bracelet, our mobile warrior came gushing in. Yeah. They’re fast. They have a very amazing speed.

 

Hagasaki-kun was by my side originally, so he’s fine.

 

The president gave the opponent one big shot of earth magic and then retreated, spraying him with tear gas for good measure.

 

The moment Suzumoto glanced at me, he slashed the knight who had attacked him with a counter and then retreated leisurely.

 

Toriumi uses [Transfer] to the side of Kariya after successfully get Kadomi-kun, then he uses [Transfer] again with Kariya. Yeah, in that condition, Kariya couldn’t have left on his own no matter what.

 

Okay. Here, I’ll hold up the tin cane of [Loudspeaker].

 

『 Poor, poor Temple! 』 

 

I’m going to stir things up from the start, and if they reveal even one of their tricks, I’ll be rich.

 

『 Boring! I knew that the knights were no better than small fry, but to think that even the hero would run away without a single sword being thrown at us! It makes me laugh! 』 

 

It’s not a personal grudge to incite the hero, it’s because I want the other heroes to come over here!

 

『 Oh, well. This time it’s just a greeting. We’ll have more fun next time, won’t we? Farewell! 』 

 

I said something that sounded like a good Demon King, and then [Transfer].

 

Fufufu… I think I was able to make it look rather demonic and demon king-like, wasn’t I?

 

 

When I came back, a Needle came out of my shadow. What’s with that skill?

 

“Anyway, thank you all for your hard work.”

 

“Good work.”

 

“Good work.”

 

When everyone’s tensions had returned to normal, or rather, had gone down, the report began.

 

“Now, I’m going to go back and collect the body (physical), but… I need to take some precautions here.”

 

“Is something wrong?”

 

“Yes, the culprit was in the middle of the room.”
