I feel like I'm being watched like crazy.

　Rosalie and Maximilian.
　The other elves and the female knights, including Janet.
　In addition, even the abominable demons that surround us are staring at us.

　........Goddess of Water (Eir).
　I'm grateful for your help, but isn't this too much?
　And then.


　--Potentially, it began to rain.


(Rosalie-san's fire magic caused an updraft and a cloud to form...?)

　No, rain clouds don't form that easily.
　Is it just a coincidence?
　Or is it the favor of the water goddess (Eil)?

　Whatever it was, it was lucky that it rained.
　Around me, the water spirits gradually gathered around me.

'Hey, how did you do that?'
　The eyes of Rosalie, the Red Lotus Witch, are sharp enough to shoot her prey to death.

''Well........do me a favor, Goddess of Water (Eir).......''
　I felt slightly awkward as I looked away.
　I didn't do anything wrong, though.
　Is it because I'm a follower of Noah-sama and yet I borrowed the power of the Water Goddess (Eil)?

''Oh, aren't you.......supposed to be a state-certified hero.......?
　Janet-san pointed out with a stunned face.

(That's right.........The state certified hero is just an adventurer up. They shouldn't have the blessing of the super-powerful Water Goddess (Eil) like the Goddess Brave, they shouldn't have the blessing of the super-powered Water Goddess (Eil). (So, I guess it was weird after all)
　But I had a feeling they wouldn't let me fight unless I showed some strength.

'It's not 'God's blessing' it's direct 'divine interference'?　........How is that possible.......?
　Rosalie-san puts her hand to her chin and wrinkles her brow as she stares quizzically at my dagger.
　Maximilian, the brave man of the wind tree, and Prince Leonard, the brave man of the ice and snow, are frozen in place with their eyes wide open.

''And isn't that........the 'Blade of the God Killer'.......?
The God Killer's blade...?
　As I recall, did the Demon King's bellybutton secate say something like that?

Hey, Takatsuki-kun. What's the God Killer's Blade?
　Sa-san came peeking in from behind me.
　It seems that Sa-san, whose true identity is the Lamia tribe of demons, has no problem being surrounded by abominable demons.

''No, I don't know much about it either, but...''
''Aya........The God-Slayer's Blade is a piece of weapon that was used in the War of the Gods long ago in the 'War of the Gods'.......'''
Lucy, you don't have to take it easy yet.
It's okay. I'm getting used to it.
　Lucy stands up unsteadily.
　Will she be okay........

''Brother Makoto, where did you get that dagger from?''
Uh, goddess my Goddess gave me this.
　To the world in general, though, it's an evil god, I add in my mind.
　If I bypass Prince Leonard and tell him about Ail-sama, he'll find out later.
　Let's be careful.

''Hahahaha!
　Suddenly, Rosalie laughed out loud.

'Miss Rosalie?'
You're the best!　Lucy's boyfriend!　You brought a weapon that can kill a god to slay a demon king?　Great, that's good, that's going to bring you some change!
Hello, Rosalee?　So you're saying that Makoto-dono will be fighting the Demon King with you?
　Wind Tree's hero looks puzzled.

''Well, more than one person is better than fighting alone, right?　The girls over there seem to be okay with it, right?
　Rosalie speaks to Sa-san.
Yes, I'll support you, Takatsuki.
　He is buzzing around the 'Demon God's Hammer' (just over 2 meters) that he hasn't seen in a long time.

''Ah, that's........the treasure tool from a thousand years ago, 'Demon God's Hammer'?　You had a messenger?
　I could hear Janet's surprise.
　I probably can't hold it if it's not Sa-san.
　That thing is so heavy.

''But be careful with one thing. The miasma that is emitted by the immortal king who is about to be reborn as a higher being can't be sustained by the miasma that he emits. The only person who can touch the miasma is a brave soul with Goddess Blessing. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
Really?
Okay.
　Meaningful, Rosalie-san's gaze.

(Rosalie knows that Sa-san is a Lamia, you know.)
　It doesn't seem like you're going to expose it.
　Well, it's better to have a lot of strong friends.

"Macky boy has 'goddess blessings'. Aya-chan over there is 'sturdy' by virtue of her race, so she'll be fine. And what about your boyfriend?
....
　Hmm.
　I'll be out if I get too close, huh?
　It's hard to tell with my weakest status...


Wait!　Mako!　Why don't you ask me for help?
Master Noah?
　But what can you do about it?

Ugh, if I hadn't been sealed in the Undersea Temple!
(Sigh) Mako-kun. You can count on me, right?　(No penalties now, no changeover?
　I won't switch.
　But I wonder if Noah-sama looks unreliable this time around.......

Five years!　(Offer five years of life and I'll put up a god-grade ward!　
Sacrifice?
　Didn't I tell you not to use that?

(And I don't blame you!　There's no other way to help Mako!
(Sacrificing five years, how long does it take to maintain a divine grade boundary?)
(...30 minutes?)
　Short!
　Well, we can leave the Demon King to Mr. Maximilian.　

''Rosalie-san, I think we can handle it.
'What?　How?　
　How do we do that?
　Mr. Noah?
　Ah, that.

　I press the blade of the dagger against my hand.
　The blood flows from my palm and runs down the dagger.　


　--I offer it to you, Master Noah.


Guh...!
　It's a sensation that your body is being robbed of its life force.
　I can't get used to this.


　--In the name of the goddess Noah, protect Makoto in the "divine armor".


　Such a beautiful voice echoed in my ears.
　Softly, a faint light wrapped around me.
　Is this a god-grade magic?
　It's not as plain as I thought.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! "Uh-oh! Kiaaaaah!
　A screeching, strange voice rises from around me.
　Ugh, the abominable demons are reacting so much.
　In particular, the huge many eyes on the body of the deformed demon king are staring at me, and it's creepy.

''Hey, you ... just now, no way.''
　Also, Rosalie's eyes are very scary, too.

Well, I'm going to go. Let's go, Sa-san. Mr. Maximilian, let's go.
Yes, sir.
Uh-huh...
　I decided to head over to defeat the Demon King before I was bombarded with all kinds of questions.

''d*mn, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but I don't have time right now!　I've left the demon king to the brave men, so the abominable demons will be defeated by me and Lucy!
　Miss Rosalie says, lending Lucy a shoulder.

'What?　Mom?　Me?
　Lucy's still a bit wobbly though.
　But I think she'll be safe with her mother.

Oh, um!　Brother Makoto!　I'll join you!
　Oh, Prince Leonard is a hero.
　But you know what?

"You're gonna have to stay with me, Leo.
"Master Rosalie, but....
You're in my way.
　Ms. Rosalie said matter-of-factly.

　Prince Leonard looked frustrated, and then he looked down.
　For my part, I'd feel safer with Lucy and her mother.
　I glanced at Janet and she gave me a small nod as I glanced at her.
　She should be able to protect Prince Leonard, too.
　She still looks a bit under the weather though.　


　Me, Sa-san and Maximilian-san, the hero of the Wind Tree, hurriedly headed to the Demon King.


The only thing I can think of is the fact that it's a good idea to have a good time with you. You should be able to use a sacred grade magic or two soon too.
'........What, Saint class?　I only have a king grade skill.
What are you talking about?　You're the daughter of me and that man!　There's plenty of room. Remember that now, since you're going to have to go through the trouble.
Why do you keep saying that?

She says she's using her "ears" skills.
　It's a good idea to make sure that you're in the right place at the right time.
　You're finally going to use your "Holy Grade" magic....
　You're getting better.

"Mom!　It's so hot!　It's hot!
Hmmm, I knew Lucy's magic was good, she specializes in fire more than I do. Oh, I'm tingly.
"Mom, is this magic going out of control?　I'm so scared.　What magic are you trying to shoot all of a sudden?
Okay, here we go, Seventh Holy Grade Seventh from Syncope.
Oh, my God, you didn't even show up?　Wait, I'm not ready for this.
Yes, we're counting down to three, two...

　Sounds like a lot of fun over there.
　I hope they don't get too excited and let their magic run amok.
　Thanks to the flamboyant rampage, the abominable demons seem to have turned their attention to Rosalie-san, the Red Lotus Witch.


　The destination for the decisive battle is approaching.


　Even among the abominable demons in their deformed forms, they are exceptionally odd, outstandingly different from the group.
　Its size could be as large as a seven or eight-story building.
　The figure covered in black tentacles was slowly changing shape.

　--This is the end of the Immortal King Bifrons' life, and he is about to be reborn as a new Demon King!

　As you get closer, you can see that the tentacles covering the demon king's body are shaped like hands.

''Oh, is there a demon being captured?''
　Sa-san looked in the direction that he was pointing.

　A tentacle had extended from the huge deformed body of the demon king-apparently, and was capturing the nearby abominable demon.
　--Aaaaaaaa.
　The abominable demon was taken into the demon king's body while screaming sadly.

''Devoured...?''
If you get too close, will it eat you?
　Isn't the miasma a problem or something else?　Rosalie.

'Takatsuki-kun!　The demons are coming!
　Moreover, there are some abominable demons heading our way.

Let's take them out first.
Okay, Mako-dono!
　As soon as he says it, Maximilian-san swings his great sword down.

　--Storm Blade!

　A huge tornado engulfed the demon and tore through it.


''Noooooooo!''
　The huge hammer Sa-san is holding blows away one of the abominable demons.
　The demons that are fast, Sa-san will take care of them.
　As for me.

''Deka........''
　A huge pig monster, which looked like an African elephant three times larger than the one we were looking for, walked over to us noisily.
　It would have been fine if it was just a pig, but for some reason it had a human face on its head.

(Hmmm, that's creepy.)

xxxx (Hey, genie!)
"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "

　-Water Spirit "Clothe


　He clothed his dagger with a water spirit and used it as a magic blade to cut.
　The huge magic blade wave cut the huge demon.

　The abominable demon is cut by the water blade and blown away.
　But my magic sword is not powerful enough to defeat the abominable monster.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do it.

　When I was chasing away the attacking demons for a while.

"Look out!
　Suddenly, a large arm holds me in its arms.
　As it was, I jumped forward in a big way.

(Geez!)
　Until a moment ago, a huge black demon in the form of an odd shape landed at the place where I was.
　The ground was gouged and destroyed by its impact.
　It was a close call........
　Even though Noah-sama's wards are there, I don't want to hit that one myself.

''Ta, thank God. Mr. Maximilian.
Yes, be careful. Lord Makoto.
　Maximilian-san glaring at the demon with the profile of a fearless dragon man.
　That's so cool.

'Takatsuki-kun!　I'm fine!
　Sa-san came too.
　It seems that the other abominable demons have all been taken care of.

Mm, he's headed for Miss Rosalee.
　The huge black demon that attacked me just now.
　It was an unbalanced demon with three heads and more than ten arms.
　However, the lower half of its body was a huge black horse with eight legs.

''Oh, the subordinate of the King of Beasts that Rosalie-san defeated, Jimbara, has become an abominable demon........''
From the looks of it, it probably is.
　Is he okay?

　If only he had become an abominable demon and been further strengthened.
　Moreover, I'm now fighting and protecting the elves and Prince Leonard and the others.

''Sa-san, can I have you go and help Lucy and Prince Leonard, just for the sake of this place?''
Hmm?　Okay, but are you going to stay here, Takatsuki?　Isn't it dangerous?
No, I'll be fine for another 20 minutes or so.
　Master Noah's wards are working.

'All right, I'll be off.
　With great speed, he turned back to Rosalie.
'Sa-san!　Don't push it!　If you're a strong foe, look to Miss Rosalie!
　Loudly, I called out.

'Yes.'
　Just in case you heard me.
　Well, I guess it's okay, because you're Mr. Sa-san.
　We have some leftover equipment.

''Well then, Maximilian-san. I'll take care of the surroundings, so please take care of the Demon King.
I know what to do!
　Maximilian-san, the hero of the wind tree, holds the Goddess' holy sword.
　The dense magical power covers Maximilian's body.
　A green wind blows and the holy sword shines.　　　

　I was careful to make sure that the abominable demons didn't attack during that time.
　The demons near the Demon King have been defeated for the most part, and many of the abominable demons are swarming towards Rosalie-san.
　Every now and then, a huge cross pillar of fire would rise.
　At that rate, I'd like to think it's going to be okay.

　While I'm doing so, the magic power is gathering on the wooden goddess's holy sword.
　I was glancing at it, wondering if she was going to shoot some kind of special move.


　-- Suddenly, the wind stopped.


(Huh?)
　The magical wind that had been blowing around until just a moment ago has stopped blowing.

''Maximilian-san?''
　...but he didn't respond.


What can I do for you?
　Out of the corner of my eye, the hero of the wind tree was standing on a stone statue.

(This!　(No way!)

Hello, human!　And goodbye, forever!
　The one who appeared was the Demon King's belly setter who should have been defeated by Rosalie-san.
