Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

h he might not have wanted to involve Shirone in his mess.
She should have just watched from the sidelines.」

[TL: MESS? YOU’RE THE BIGGEST MESSED UP GUY HERE!!!]

 

Hearing him say so, I thought to myself how that was just his wishful thinking.

The only reason Shirone didn’t want to return to our original world was that her childhood friend appeared in this world, right? Then again, I think I understand Reiji’s words.

 

The humans in this world were tormented by the demons.
That’s why I can’t forgive the Demon King, the ruler of all demons.
Shirone swore that her childhood friend was a kindhearted boy, so maybe he felt guilty for becoming the Demon King’s vanguard.

But I think he chose poorly when he left without speaking to Shirone.
It might be the reason she felt so restless.

Reiji might hate this idea, but I think we should welcome him as our comrade.
After all, the Demon King is the bad guy in the situation.

[TL: FOR GOD’S SAKE, HE ISN’T!!!!!!] [ED: For fuck’s sake!It’s always so frustrating editing about this morons]

 

Even now, there might be some demons living in a forest beneath us.

I’ve heard that if we defeat the Demon King all demons will disappear.

Maybe then the world will be a better place.

[TL: I’M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, CHIYUKI]

 

Suddenly, Reijji stopped everyone mid-flight.

 

「Everyone, hold on a second!!」

「What happened, Reiji-kun?」

「I heard a woman screaming.」

 

Reiji then steered his pegasus toward a new direction.

I turned to Nao.

「What about you, Nao?」

「Reiji-senpai is just amazing… Even this Nao-san just noticed it…」

「Let’s chase after him, everyone!!」

 

Everyone nodded in agreement with my words.

That was Reiji’s only reliable trait.
The woman in danger must surely be a babe.

And so we went after our hero.

 

◆ Freedom Fighter Girl, Shisufae

 

I could hear Big Sis Keyna calling my name.

 

「Shisufae!!」

「I know!!」

 

I stared at the thing in front of me.

An Orc.

A bipedal pig that was taller than me and had its eyes glued to my body.

 

「Underestimating me, huh?!」

 

I glared at the Orc as I readied my sword.
I had no other choice but to defeat it since I had no comrade and no one to help me fight.

It also wasn’t the first time I fought an Orc either.
But back then I had a comrade and we were fighting only one Orc.
At that moment, there were several Orcs and I was alone.
I was already losing.   I glared at the Orc as I readied my sword.

We had received an escort mission on the way back to the Republic of Ariadya.

This was supposed to be a region without such high-ranking demons.
However, the moment we passed along the highway we were ambushed and dragged into a battle with an unknown number of Orcs.

It was the first time I fought against several Orcs at once.

 

By nature, Orcs weren’t the type to gather in packs.
This was more like the behavior of Goblins.

And yet, we were fighting waves of Orcs.
Something like this was unprecedented.
Half of the freedom fighters who were escorting the coach had been felled by the ambush of the Orcs.

 

The only one left was the freedom fighter who I regarded as my big sister and comrade, Keyna.

Honestly, it wouldn’t have been strange if I had already died.
The only reason these Orcs were keeping me alive was my gender.
They wanted me alive.

Those disgusting bastards.

 

At that moment, I saw my chance of survival.

I deliberately swung my sword much slower than usual.

 

「YAAHHH!!!」

 

The Orc laughed at me and flung my sword away with its club.

It wanted to disarm me.

 

   NOW!!

 

I swung my sword father and made the club miss its mark.

The Orc lost its balance.
There was no way I could let such an obvious opening pass.
My only strong point was my swordsmanship, after all.

I kicked the ground, closed in on my opponent and stabbed its heart with my sword.

 

「GUH?!」
