Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha Wo Taosu Tameni Maou Ni Shoukansaremashita~ Chapter 44.1 - Hundreds Arms Giant

Chapter 44 . 1 : Hundreds Arms Giant

◆Former Princess of Algore, Regena

　Aah, what should I do…… .

　There’s nothing I can do about the scene before me .

　Omiros is wounded right in front of me .

　But then, I don’t even know what to do .

　Omiros might be killed at this rate .

　Even if I call for reinforcements, the people below might have their hands full dealing with those goblins .

「Dear master……… . . 」

It seems that my dear master fought against the little sister of the hero and was unable to come to save me for the time being .

I wanted to cry right now .

Clasping the short sword in my hands I recalled the day when I received it from my dear master .
 

This sword was gifted to me by my dear master so that I could protect myself when the time for me to leave Nargol and return to the human world came .

My dear master’s kindness filled this sword .

Originally, Nargol wasn’t a place fit for humans to live . Except for my dear master, it seems, humans who lived there were regarded as a nuisance, or food .

The reason we were safe up till now was because they feared my dear master .

My dear master had told me before that we couldn’t live in Nargol forever .

That was why someday, we had to go back to the human world .

And this sword was something  that I needed in order to protect myself when I finally returned back to the human world .

But then, can I even do that?

I just want to stay by my dear master side . I always dream about it: the scene of the carnage of my people on that day . The scene of us running for our lives from those goblins . Whichever it is, the human world or the demon world, I’m scared of both of them .

I can feel at ease only when I’m by my dear master’s side . I really can’t leave my dear master’s side .

I mean even now, I’m trembling in fear .

There’s two people fight in front of my eyes .

But I know that Omiros’s movements dulled as the fight went on .

Omiros attacked with his sword and Goz repelled the attack with his s.h.i.+eld .

The impact from that exchange made Omiros drop his sword . Omiros’s balance crumbled as he tried to pick his sword .

And Goz wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity .

「GUHA! ! 」
 

Finally, Omiros was tripped by Goz .

Goz stamped down on Omiros’s left arm, the arm which he used to hold his s.h.i.+eld .

「GU! ! 」

Omiros frowned in pain .

「THIS IS THE END, YOUNG PRINCEEEE――! ! 」

Holding his sword in a backhand grip, Goz then launched a deadly stab towards Omiros .

The moment I saw that .

「NOOOOOOOOO――――! ! 」

I unintentionally screamed .

Both of them had their gaze drawn towards me .

Before I noticed, I had drawn my sword .

I wanted to save Omiros . I wouldn’t let him die . That feeling was driving my body to move .

Omiros searched every goblins nests just to find me, and yet I wanted to return to Nargol . I didn’t want to part with Omiros in such a cruel way .

Goz looked at me . My body trembled as I looked upon him .

「G-Get away from Omiros……… Y-Your opponent is m-m-m-me! ! 」

My hand was visibly trembling, my sword unsteady .

C’mon, Regena, get a grip already! I should be able to fight just like when I faced against those ogres .

「Oioi, such a small sword won’t be able to kill me . Rather, throw that dangerous thing away since you might hurt yourself instead . Instead I’ll become your opponent as much as you like, on top of my bed of course . 」

Goz was looking down on me .

「Stop it, Regena……… . . 」

Omiros was trying to stop me with his frail and weak voice .

「Weaklings should just shut up!」

Goz belled while trampling on Omiros’s chest .

「GUHAA! ! 」

Oh no, I won’t let Omiros be hurt again .

「Stop it already…… . . I understand, I will do as you say…… . 」

I finally yielded to Goz .

「I see .   Anything I say huh . 」

Goz sounded so delighted .

「Then, throw that sword away below the rampart first! ! Or else, I’m gonna kill this guy! ! 」

Goz said so as he looked at my sword .

Throwing away the sword that was given to me by my dear master . As if I can do that .

「Please……… This is the only thing I can’t do………」

I pleaded to Goz .

「Then I’m gonna kill him . 」

Goz pointed his sword at Omiros again .

「WAIT! ! I…… . . Understand…… . 」

I threw my sword beyond the rampart .

「Hehehe, good girl . Regena . 」

Saying so, Goz then kicking Omiros away .

Omiros tried to stand up again, but he was kicked away by Goz .

And then, he showed an anguished expression as his body crashed against the wall .

「You just need to watch from there! ! 」

「OMIROS! ! 」

I tried to rush towards Omiros

「Oops! ! 」

But my hand was caught and I was knocked down by Goz .

Goz straddled on top of me .

「I finally caught you…… . . Regena . I’m now gonna rape you in front of Omiros! ! 」

As Goz was about to undress .

「NOOOOOOOOO――――！ ! SAVE ME MASTEEE―――EER! ! ! 」

I shut my eyes and then called for my dear master with the loudest voice I could muster .

”Shu”

I heard the sound of something cutting the air .

「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! 」

Suddenly, Goz got away from me as he raised a painful shriek .

「……… . . EH? W…… . . What happen… . . ?」

I straightened up and looked at Goz . That’s when I saw the short sword that I had thrown down to the bottom of the rampart sticking out from Goz’s naked a.s.s .

Goz was hopping right and left while shouting in pain . Since he was about to undress his pants before, now his lower half was completely exposed . Jumping left and right in that state looked extremely ridiculous but this wasn’t the time to laugh .

I hurried to Omiros’s side .

「Are you alright! ? Omiros! ! 」

I supported Omiros .

「Uhm……… . Regena……… . What……… Happen? 」

Omiros stood up with great difficulty .

But just like him, I also didn’t understand what was happening . My dear master’s sword which should be at the bottom of the rampart was stabbed in Goz’s a.s.s .

「WHAT THE h.e.l.l IS THIS SWORD! ? 」

Goz pulled out the sword sticking out of his a.s.s . And out of nowhere, Goz used that sword to stab his own chest .

「GUNUNUNU! ! ! 」

He tried using his free hand to stop the blade from stabbing him .

It seems that sword was moving on its own to stab Goz .

When Goz managed to stop that sword from stabbing his chest at last .

「……… What the h.e.l.l is that guy doing on his own? 」

Omiros looked at Goz with a puzzled expression .

Goz’s figure, desperately trying to stop his own hand from stabbing himself in a half-naked state was an extremely hilarious scene to behold from the side . Even Omiros couldn’t help but look at himself with a puzzled face .

As we were looking at Goz in such hilarious appearance, we heard the  sound of someone coming up the stairs . Someone finally ascended to this place . Omiros prepared himself for another battle since it was most likely the goblins .

「Sorry, I’m late . 」

The one who ascended was a completely unexpected person .

「You are……… That Werewolf . What are you doing here? ! 」

Omiros asked as he looked at the one climbing the stairs . I knew this person too . He was the werewolf who came along with us to Algore .

What is this person doing here? He should be locked up right now .

On a closer look, there was someone hanging on his back .

「Ri………… Rietto? 」

Omiros called out . For some reason, Rietto clung to the werewolf’s back .

「Geez! ! You should run a little bit slower you see! ! 」

As she complained to the werewolf, Rietto descended from his back .

「Can’t be helped ya know~ ! That scary master is gonna kill me for sure if I let something terrible happened to that female human! ! 」

「Is that so? That uncle minstrel was kind to Rietto though? 」

「Coz it’s you…… . . 」

Those two were making a merry conversation .

「Rietto………… What are you doing here? 」

「Ah, Omiros! ! EH, what happened? What’s up with all those wounds on your body? Are you all right? . 」

Rietto rushed towards Omiros .

「Well, don’t worry about me, Rietto…… I can manage it somehow . Rather, what are you doing here? 」

Omiros replied using a brave tone to try and make Rietto stop worrying about him . But one could easily tell from his expression that his body was hurt all over .

「It’s not me, it’s werewolf-san! ! I don’t care about what happens to someone like Regena . I just clung on to werewolf-san all this time . 」

Rietto said as she hid behind Omiros’s back .

Omiros and I looked at the werewolf .

「Yeah, that scary person told me to protect you……… That’s why I followed your scent and arrived at this place . 」

The werewolf sayid while laughing merrily .

「Protect, me? 」

Tilting my head due to the unexplainable situation, I wondered what he meant?
