Happy Wednesday!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

The monsters that swarmed Ria were nearly tidied up.

Only Aulum remained, as well as that monster that he was riding on.

Ill tell you something good.

The situation had reversed, and even though it was obvious that we had the upper hand, Aulums attitude had not changed at all.

No, he seems to be even more composed than before.

TheThreat Detectionthat did not have any reaction up until now was loudly sounding the alarm.

The flute from just now, even without it, I can still manipulate the monsters. Perhaps that right-hand man-sama did not know about it either, but that flute has two functions. One of them is passing down simple commands to the monsters.

Aulum laughed ominously, and glanced behind us.

the second one is to report the current situation even when at a far distance away.

A voice that I did not recognize sounded from behind us.

When we turned around, the owner of the voice had already used some method to destroy Rias barrier.

There was the sound of glass breaking and the light that enveloped our bodies disappeared.

I thought that it was unusual for you to ask for help, but how did you get that injury?

He was a baby-faced young man who had black hair, dark eyes and wore glasses.

His ahoge was swaying, and the hand that he used to push up his glasses was pale.

TN: those who frequently watch anime or read manga should know this, but an ahoge is a lock of hair that is sticking out of your hair

He was smiling, but his eyes were not.

As usual, the demons needlessly large amount of magic power was overflowing from his body, so much so that I had even broken into a cold sweat.

Ria had already fainted.

Ah, Mahiro, youre slow! This time, it was dangerous even for me, so I called you .

Even though he was so heavily injured, he was still as energetic as when I met him.

Even though it was so severe that even an elf would have collapsed if they had the same injuries, the look on his face remained unchanged.

It seems that the demons vitality was abnormal as well.

If you think that Im slow, then you were stuck in this kind of place, huh. Come on, were going back.

Before we realized it, he had appeared behind us.

Wha!?

I was worried, but even though I was closely watching his every move, I couldnt react to that, much less see it.

Even though there was no indication of magic.

Without a doubt, he was stronger than Aulum.

Mahirohe had said that he was the second-ranked demon.

Amelia said this and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared.

The second-ranked meant that he was one rank higher than Aulum.

The young man who Aulum had called Mahiro, looked at Aulums injuries, shook his head, and looked at me.

Our affinity with you might not be good. Right, Oda Akira?

My full name was called. I frowned.

My name being called, and that appearance, I realized something.

You, could you be a Japanese person?

This world was similar to overseas where ones name was in front while the family name came after.

The language was different so It couldnt be helped, but the intonation of the name was somewhat different from Japanese.

However, this guy pronounced it perfectly as if it were Japanese.

And above all else, the name Mahiro.

It was a Japanese-y name.

Aah, maa, am I? Im a bit different from you guys, but I am a Japanese person. My name is Abe Mashiro. Im reluctant, but please take care of me.

What did he mean by a bit different?

And why was he a demon.

Oops, theres no time for this. We will be taking that princess with us.

When he said those words, I stood in front of Amelia as if to protect her.

Yoru got ready to fight as well.

Sorry, but Ill take care of the collapsed Ria later.

Since their target was Amelia.

Well, I didnt think we would even require the third-rank just to secure a single princess. And now, its gotten to a point where the task requires my involvement.

You never know what will happen in life, Mahiro muttered to no one in particular, and clapped his hands.

Pann

The sound reverberated clearly.

And from in between his hands, some kind of characters came flying out.

A large number of characters formed a circle, becoming a magic circle.

The characters were something I have never seen before and didnt look like characters. The various symbols fell into place in no time at all.

The characters were shining brightly, and were extremely beautiful.

In merely a few seconds, the tremendously small magic circles were completed, and Mahiro immediately activated them.

Living Doll

He poured magic power in the magic circles that were shining bright red and then they flew towards us.

Dodge them! Amelia!!!

Kyaa!!

I prepared myself, thinking that they were aiming for me, but the magic circles headed towards Amelia.

It was too late when I realized it and yelled out.

Amelia, who came into contact with the magic circles, was blown away and crashed into the wall.

And then, she did not move.

Sh*t! Amelia!!!

I ran over to Amelia and pulled her into my arms.

She was bleeding from her head. She was not dead, just unconscious.

However, if she was human, she wouldve been instantly killed.

She had also hit the back of her head, so it would be better to get her looked at by a doctor.

You bastard!!

Ah, ah, are you aware of the unpleasant look in your eyes? Even now, you look like youre about to kill me.

Hearing those mocking words, I knew that I was losing my cool.

Master-dono, dont let him provoke you.

Yoru who had recovered Ria before I knew it, pacified me.

I clenched my fist.

I wanted to punch him, but I understood that I couldnt win against this guy.

We needed to escape somehow.

To begin with, Aulum also planned to immediately escape after recovering Amelia.

Though I didnt let them do so.

Can we count that Black Cat over there as being on your side now? If not, Ill be angry.

Yoru returned to his usual black cat form.

That pair of golden eyes glared at Mahiro.

I will not return to demon king-samas side anymore. Because I am no longer Black Cat, but Yoru.

I see. Then, you can not be angry if I add your fur to my wardrobe.

Yoru bared his teeth, at the grinning Mahiro.

Try it.
