A Greeting For The First Time In A Long While
……oh shit oh shit oh shit. I nearly unconsciously burst out into laughter from happiness when I see those two. I hold onto my mouth and bear with it somehow. I simultaneously create and wear a black robe with Dark Sorcery. It’ll be a pain if I’m exposed before I find out what they’re up to after all.
As I’m looking at the Dragon that descended in that manner, the five men and one woman alight from the Dragon’s back. The woman is, of course, Stella.
One of the men is Lig, and his hateful and infuriating face remains unchanged. The man who stands in front of that Lig is a beautiful youngster whom even I think looks cool when I look at him, and he simultaneously has a Magic Power that feels like it completely clashes with me. Even amongst the shitty Goddess’ powers, that fellow possesses one that’s relatively closer to the Goddess.
Behind him is a man who’s clad in lightning and a black-robed red-haired youngster in a collar, and I can feel the Goddess’ power from them as well. Behind them is a man who wore a conversely pure-white robe.
“My name is Noel! Fistoria Holy Kingdom’s Hero, and through Goddess Fistoria’s revelation, I came to subjugate the individual who possesses the Devil’s power in this country!”
The man who goes by Noel thrusts his shining sword out towards the group of Beastfolks. The sword is pointing directly towards Modra. Modra and company were frightened by Noel and company, and the Dragon, who suddenly appeared.
“Wha-, what’s with, you people!? Bloody entering somebody’s country as you like! You guys, take them down!”
Modra, despite being afraid, gives the Beastfolks around the order to attack. As per that order, the Beastfolks cast their Magic at Noel and company, but
“Insolent!”
The red-haired man who wore a black robe swings his arm. Immediately after, his arm bursts into flame and burns the approaching Magic to ashes. And then, a wall of flame was created from the lingering wave of that, making it so that Modra and company couldn’t escape.
“Wha-, what are you guys doing! Attack, attack more!”
Modra, who saw that sight, gave his orders in a panic, but it was futile. Modra and company were encompassed in no time at all.
The Beastfolks form a circle with Modra in the middle, trying to protect him. However, perhaps they saw what happened just now and felt the difference in strength, they’d all turned pale. The same goes for the Prince or whatever as well. Modra yells by himself in the middle of all that.
“Ha-, Hardt-sama, what are we going to do?”
Mars asks me nervously at the sudden happening. Good grief, just as I thought he matured from experiencing a war and so forth, he’s losing his composure from something like this. I’ve got to have him be more confident. Watch and learn from Tierra. She has organised her priority in this situation and moved to protect the Beastfolk children.
“For the time being, Mars will be with Tierra. I will……get in their way”
As I thought, for me, I’ve got to do things that get on the shitty Goddess’ nerves. His objective is the God’s Fragment that Modra possesses. If I kill them, that means I can steal it, right? I won’t listen to their response though.
I materialise a large spike created with Dark Sorcery between Modra and company and Noel and company who approaches them while thrusting his sword out. The Prince amongst Modra and company reacted, but the others were surprised and fell on their butts, and only Lig was the only one with a delayed reaction amongst Noel and company. Even though it would’ve stabbed him if that red-haired man didn’t pull him.
“As I thought, lots of that shitty Goddess’ subordinates are ill-mannered huh. Trying to steal the prey I’m targeting”
“……who, are you?”
Noel expresses his cautiousness towards me, who’s approaching while laughing. Behind him, the man clad in lightning, Lig who got out from the red-haired man’s arm, the man in a white robe beside the Dragon, and Stella look over at me. Those guys who are staring fixedly over at me are thinking what’s up with me. It doesn’t particularly matter even if I show them how I look though……sure, I guess.
“Who am I? I wonder if those two over there remember?”
I remove my hood while saying. They made puzzled expressions when they saw my face, but Lig and Stella’s expressions subsequently changed. My hair colour ended up changing, but the changes elsewhere are only slight growth after all. The two of them also realised right away.
“……wh-, why are you here”
“Wh-, why……”
“Hey hey, it’s been a while huh, both of you. Did you like the souvenirs from me? They served as pretty decent carrier pigeons, right?”
Looking at the two of them whose expression is dyed with astonishment, I couldn’t hold back from laughing. Now then, I wonder how I should tease them. I’m, getting real excited!
