　It is said that the bow god was able to accurately shoot a gray bear between the eyes from a kilometer away. Robin had no such skill, but he was still confident that he could shoot a bow better than anyone else in the room.

　The young Robin was pressed to the ground by his grandfather, who told him "not to move an inch, not to show any white breath," and they stayed in the mountains together for three days and three nights.

　During that time, I really did not move at all, not even when a ground beetle crawled on my face. Whenever I had to urinate, I peed on the spot.

　Robin sees Dagon from a distance.

　Dagon, the Witch King, is humanoid. He looks like a giant of one of the ancient gods. In other worlds, he is revered as the god of the sea, and in this world, too, he is feared as the ruler of the sea.

　For the time being, he had to flatter him.

　Robin makes his decision. He draws his bow and takes aim at Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He stares at him as if he were going to shoot him in the heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Asito told me that his heart was cushioned and that a shot through it would not kill him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The plan this time was to put an arrow through the heart, pretend to be dead, and take advantage of the confusion to defeat the main body of Dagon that was attacking us.

　If he does so, he plans to have a good ninja save Robin's lover in the meantime, but will he be able to make this plan a reality?

　Robin is still in doubt at this point.

（The Demon King is a man of character. (The Demon Lord is a man of character, but at the same time he is also a man of two sides of the same coin. He may use me and then discard me.)

　Asito is not a ruthless king, but I have a feeling that he would cut Robin down without a second thought in order to minimize the loss of his comrades.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, there is this thought.

（On the other hand, he is a benevolent king who forgave me once when I tried to assassinate him. He would not cheat me at this late stage, would he?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin had this thought, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin's mind was filled with these two thoughts, but in the end, he decided to go for it.

　Robin shifts his sights from Asito's heart to his forehead. He decides to kill Asito by striking him in the forehead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For several reasons, he thought that if Dagon and Asito fought, Dagon would have a slight advantage. Robin's lover, Fianna, was more important to him than his own life, and he wanted to bet on the one with the best chance of winning, even if it was only a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--He wanted to bet, but there was someone who swayed Robin's mind. No, not a person, but an animal.

　Sue the carbuncle, who had been left at Bernese's side, was at Robin's side before he knew it. Sue, the carbuncle that had been left behind at Bernese, was at Robin's side before he knew it.

　Robin's focus shifts from his head to his heart. He decides to to kill Asito as originally planned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rest will take care of itself, he thought. However, Robin did not let up in the slightest. He used all of his skill and strength to aim for Asito's heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin was a bold man, but Asito was no less so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was always on the front line of command, exposing his chest to the enemy. It was possible that Robin would have been shot through by Dagon's soldiers even if Robin had not shot through him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the moment he pulled the string to the very limit, Robin remembered Asito's comment. He remembered what a soldier had said with admiration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The king of intrigue, not only the most brilliant in wisdom, but also the strongest in courage. He always exposes his chest to the enemy and turns his back on his allies. He is more like a god of war than a god of intrigue.

　When Robin first heard this story, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now that he is standing on the battlefield with me, he realizes that it is not an exaggeration. Or rather, it is an understatement.

　Robin had never known another king as brave and daring as Asitho.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he had met such a king in a previous life, Robin's life would have been different.

　The unleashed string shoots out an arrow at high speed. The arrow flew not in an arc but straight as light and landed directly on Asito's heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Asito crumples to the ground as if he had really been shot by an arrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin cries out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Witchking Ashtaroth has been defeated by Dagon's man Robin Hood!　Now is the time for Dagon's best to destroy Bernese's army!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must have been satisfied with that call. Dagon, the giant of the sea, shouted loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bernese soldiers without the Demon King are like eggshells. "Crush them and lay waste to them!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dagon comes to the front with three Moth Titans in tow. It seems that he intends to destroy the Bernese army by fighting on the front lines.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably the right decision. The Bernese are clearly roused by the fall of Asito. It was obvious that they would collapse under the onslaught of the Titans. If Asito was the commander of the other side, he would attack at the same time. That's what I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, the war had changed in this way, but Robin insisted loudly that he would go to Dagon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We have defeated the demon king Ashtaroth as promised. Release Fianna."

　Dagon grasps one of Bernese's men and makes a scowl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is the otherworldly hero Robin Hood, isn't it? Your work this time has been magnificent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think it's brilliant myself. Now give me back my fianna.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, I will keep my promise. But if I give you Fianna now, you're going to get angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I won't get angry now. I'd rather not be kept waiting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Then I'll tell my men to bring her back from the island. But I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't be angry..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dagon said and raised his arm. At first, Dagon's hand is thrown at Robin, as if he were about to throw it at Bernese's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin narrowly avoids it and shouts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you doing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was going to kill you when I was done with you. I was going to kill you because I knew you'd be furious if you knew the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked, and the one who answered instead was the Demon King Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He rose with a start, pulled out the arrow that had been lodged in his heart, and cried out, "Now, Wind Demon, you are going to be very angry!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I just received word from Kotaro the Wind Demon. He said that he had received a message from Kotaro of the Windigo. ...... Unfortunately, the girl, Fianna, is no longer of this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Robin's face turned pale as he heard these words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What ...... is ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The woman, Fianna, has been dead for over a year. She killed herself right after Dagon grabbed her."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why?　Why did she kill herself?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Only she knows that. But I can imagine. Perhaps she didn't want to be a burden to you. Maybe she didn't want to see you taken hostage and forced to kill people against your will."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... That's ridiculous. That's impossible. If you had lived, you would have embraced her by now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dagon casts a malicious glance at this plaintive lament.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Stupid woman! I brought her food and she didn't even take a bite. In the end she died of consumption. That's why people are so irredeemable!"

"You're the one who's irredeemable!"

　Robin cries bloody tears as he draws his bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He fires an arrow at the sea giant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The arrow pierced not the giant's eye but his palm, but to the giant Dagon the arrow was only a needle in his arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can't kill me. You are a good assassin, but you have no talent to kill the Demon Lord. You're nothing more than a useful tool.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He tries to strike a blow as if he were swatting a fly, but is blocked by the Demon King Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Asito's eyes were filled with anger as he leaned in close to Robin and cast the spell of "Wall Prevention. He was not crying like Robin, but his heart was burning hot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Witch King said

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dagon, if you ever have a next life, remember this. The only reason for your defeat is that you hurt my people.

　When he concludes that he deserves to die, he casts his spell. Primordial magical creatures materialize around you. They are all engulfed in flames.
