Vol2 Raid on the Capital – Chapter 20

Everybody, please check the FAQ first before asking me questions.

Thank you for your consideration, guys!

Note: male virginity and female virginity are different words in Japanese. doutei (sometimes jokingly called DT) and shojo respectively.

I-, Ill just tell things straight!

Just as I was thinking of fighting together with her, Jessica-chan suddenly told me Tilea-san, Ill leave the rest to you and left me here. I faintly knew what she meant, but I was trying to escape from reality. If only it had just been hypnotism, or she had just happened to be running at high speeds

Right now Im faced with a most terrifying reality; a 1v1 with a demon.

Aahh, I never even imagined that I would be stuck duelling the chief of the demons. Even if I have to fight him, I was hoping that at least Jessica-chan would be here to support me with magic.

Wahhh, to think that she abandoned me

Fwo fwoh, simply useless struggling. I already remember her mana. If I teleport, I shall catch up in a jiffy.

You hear that? Jessica-chan, come baaaaaaaaack! Apparently even running is pointless, you know, so lets fight together. At this rate, hell pick us off one by one, you know.

I shouted towards the back of the running Jessica-chan, but she didnt even turn to look at me.

I see! Maybe shes escaping with a wounded person, which is why shes desperately ignoring me

Fwo fwo fwoh, humans sure are cruel. It looks like youre just a sacrificial pawn.

I-, Im not a pawn, okay. Jessica-chan trusts in me, which is why she left me to take care of it.

He kind of pissed me off, so I accidentally spoke my mind. I dont want to hear a demon talk about cruelty. Just what do you understand about Jessica-chan!

Yeah. Im ashamed that I ever thought that she abandoned me. Jessica-chan is just desperately trying to save her injured friend. She was badly hurt in her fight with this guy, and if she doesnt get healed soon, she might even die. Thats why Jessica believed in my power(knowledge) and left for Headquarters first.

And also, Jessica-chan is still only fourteen. Basically a middle schooler. Id be unforgivably pathetic if I was relying on a child for backup. If you include my old life, Im already way too old to be acting like this.

Y-, Yeah. This is for the best. While I buy some time, Jessica-chan should just run.

I-, I wont let you past here. I-, Im gunna stop you!

Fwo, a human like you, is going to stop a demon like me? Hmph, acting quite conceited for a member of the weakest race!

Just because were the weakest, doesnt mean we cant beat the strongest!

Fwo fwoh, what a saucy girl. My injuries are healed now. I can catch up whenever I want to those two. Very well. This old man will play with you.

Saying that, the Chief of the Demons(strongest race) suddenly approached me. I immediately produced a kukanomi.

What do I do?

Hes totally different from everyone else so far. Hes like the Royal Guard of the Demon King. Even if I just mindlessly throw kukanomi like before, itll be hard to defeat him. He might be able to dodge, and if I miss his vitals, that opens myself up for a counter. Strategy is important here.

Mn!? Hang on. To begin with, will kukanomi even work against him? No, Ill have to believe in it. Or rather, if it doesnt work, I have no options left. If I watch for an opening, and throw them in succession, I might have a chance to beat him.

Alright. For now, I need the first shot to hit.

To begin with Ummm~ What to dwai-, stohes getting closer and closer as I think.

S-, Stay away! A-, Are you fine with this? I have seven thousand subordinates!

Fwo fwo fwoh. What, a joke all of a sudden?

Kuh-! It might have been a snap judgement, but maybe I overdid it with seven thousand. Ah-, but it looked like he stopped moving at least.

Y-, Yeah. But even if seven thousand was a joke, I still have five hundred of them. Are you fine with this? If something happens to me, dont think theyll take it lying down.

Fwo fwo, even if you did have five hundred subordinates, so what? Come on. Bring them out. I shall make prey of all of them.

Y-, Youre really fine with this? A-, All of them are a match for a thousand, you know. Y-, Youll be really beaten up, okay. All of them have 30,000 mana.

Fwo fwo, amusing, amusing. So if the subordinates have 30,000, then how much does their master have?

Eh-!? M-, Me? Y-, Yeah. O-, One hundred thousand.

Fwo fwo, if youre going to lie, then do it after studying. The mana levels youre uttering are completely at random.

T-, This is bad. I meant to buy time until I thought of a strategy, but I was flustered, so I was completely confused. It sounds bad to say this myself, but it was ridiculous to say that every member of the Praetorian Guard was a match for a thousand. Even Im astounded by what Im saying.

Now then, is the sideshow over? In that case, its time to dance.

Flames appeared at his fingertips, and they began to scorch the ground.

D-, dowah-, wah-! S-, Stop that.

I ended up moving in dance steps.

Come on, come on! More! Dance more! Your feet are going to disappear, you know.

Uwah-! Wah-! W-, Whoa-!

Again and again, flames sprayed from his fingers. The ground beneath me started to fill with holes, and rocks and rubble began to evaporate.

I-, If that hits me, not even bone will remain

But this guy is aiming to just miss me on purpose. Ill bet hes trying to prolong this to scare me.

So cowardly!

Fwo fwoh, of course. To we demons, the strongest race, humans are nothing more than ants to crush as toys.

Dammit, hes totally making fun of us!

Just watch. Just watch as I show you the power of human knowledge. Ive got my secret weapon, the kukanomi, to turn the tables on you. Ill make sure you fully taste the weakness of vampires.

But, in more practical terms, what should I do?

He keeps spraying flames, so I cant grasp the timing. Should I close the gap in one go?

I decided to move backwards.

Fwo fwoh, you shall not escape.

With that, flames appeared at the wall that I was running to.

I immediately tried to turn left, but,

Fwo fwoh. Just where are you going? Take this! And this!

Dowah-! Stop doing such scary things!

That bastard created a flame ring around me to trap me.

A-, At this rate, its just a matter of time until I burn to death. The one saving grace is that hes still playing, so I wont be killed right away. But I wont know when hell change his mind. If he does, Ill be turned to ash in an instant.

Kuh-! What do I do to break out of this mess?

I guess there are three options.

The cute and beautiful Tilea-chan suddenly thinks of a counterattack

Reality is cruel. She burns to death

Hmm~mm, I really cant leave it to anyone else, so it has to be . Ill come up with a ground-breaking idea to break past this flame wall.

-poku poku poku buu buu-

I-, Its not good. I cant think of anything. All that comes to mind is charging through it. If I try and break past this with effort and guts, Ill just turn into soot.

C-, Cant be helped. Its then. I hate leaving problems to others, but you cant break through a crisis without sacrifice. Ill rely on my allies.

Ummm~ allies, allies Jessica-chan is in the middle of bringing her friend to Headquarters. Myuu is guarding Timu.

Which means

I breathed in deep, and then

REEEMIIIIIIILIIIIIIIAAAAA-SAAAAAAAAAAAN! SAAAAVEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE!

Its a pinch, a pinch, a huge pinch!

Your future girlfriend is about to fall into the hands of the demons. Please get on your white horse and ride in here. My shojo, my doutei, Ill give you anything, so please.

Or so I prayed, as I screamed loudly.

W-, What!? Why are you suddenly screaming. I thought my eardrums were going to burst.

Huh? Did I maybe anger him?

Up until a moment ago, he was having fun like a cat tormenting a mouse, but now he looked a little angry.

Honestly, even if you call for help, none will come. I have already checked to find that nobody was around. And even if help did come, they would simply have the tables turned on them by me.

T-, That cant be

Hahh~ Honestly, my eardrums are crying. Impertinent for a human. Aahh, Im done playing. You can just burn!

With that, the flame walls began to constrict around me.

Awawawah, w-what do I do?

I-, It really is after all, huh~

WAHH, WAHHH, hic-, UUWAHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIEEE! SOMEBODY SAVE MEEE!

In panic, I ran this way and that.

Fwo fwo fwoh, die in fear! Let me hear a good voice!

YOUUU! WHAAT AARE YOUU DOINGG TO ONEEESAMAAAAAA!

Heh?

Just as I was lamenting the cruelty of reality, suddenly, a voice from behind me

T-, This voice is Timu!?

UOHHHHHHHH! Its ! ITS !!!!!!

Nice! Super nice timing!

If Timu is here, then Myuu is here too. Thank goodness. A veteran warrior has come rushing in.

But still, Timus enraged expression is

Im sure shes super mad because she thought I was about to be killed. Shes a good girl, so thats quite like her. She looks like shell attack him this very instant.

But, she cant. Its dangerous. Im happy that shes worried for me, but lets leave it to Myuu.

Mn!? That damned demon chief!

He suddenly extinguished his flames at their arrival.

This is a chance to attack!

I dont know why hes all confused, but while hes dazed Ill smash his face with a kukanomi. I took a kukanomi in hand.

B-, But will this actually work? I cant shake the feeling that this wont work on a demon chief.

I know! Heres my counterattack plan! I crushed a kukanomi, and squeezed the juice all over the cross. Thats right. With this, I get both the attack power of the cross, as well as the effect of the kukanomi. It multiplies the effectiveness.

Huhu, this should have at least doubled the damage Ill deal. Even this guy wont be a problem.

I was wondering why I heard Oneesamas voice, so I came here to investigate and the outrageousness I find!

Wha-? Hah-? Oneesama?? What do you mean byI-, I simply, for the Esteemed

I am not listening to excuses. Nor will I have mercy. I will punish you myself. I shall destroy you to the last cinder!

Alright. This is it. Ill get him while hes distracted by Timu. Taking advantage of the situation, I dashed into his opening.

Heh! The chief of the demons looks scary on the outside. Of course, not just his appearance. His power, his cruelty, all of it is fit for the title strongest demon.

But please dont look down on humanity too much. Humans might be weak, but we bridge over our shortcomings with knowledge. Dont think that humans will just take things standing down.

With the kukanomid cross in my hand, I thrust my fist vigorously into his face.

Im coming for you, Strongest'(Demon Chief)!My Weakest might shake you up a little!

My fist slammed into his face.

An instant. In that instant, I felt a crack against my fist, and then something hit my face with a splatter.

Heh?

Huh? What is this sensation? What is this thing writhing in front of me?

There before my eyes was the now mince-meat corpse, of the half-destroyed demon chief. The scene of his meat chunks convulsing after death, was graphic.

HE-, HE SPLATTERRRRED!

Eh-? Eh-? N-, No matter what, arent you a bit too shaken up!? This might have been a plan I came up with myself, but its SUPER EFFECTIVEEE!

Eh-? Then, could it be that the stuff on my face is flesh? I brought my hand to my face, and pulled it off.

UWAHHH, ITS ALL STICKY AND GROSS. -BLARGH!-

The cute and beautiful Tilea-chan suddenly thinks of a counterattack

-poku poku poku buu buu-

buu buu is the sound of an incorrect answer or failure

Im coming for you, Strongest'(Demon Chief)!My Weakest'(Knowledge) might shake you up a little!

Grit your teeth, StrongestMy (attack that you called) weakest might shake you up a little!

Well, it hardly matters at this point, but this Bebe guy actually talks with an old man accent. It doesnt really matter, but how many of you think I should go back and give him a ridiculous Transylvanian accent?
