The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

47 – 046.Bond with the sword

Since I accidentally revealed my true feelings, I neatly gave up on hiding it.

With a bright smile, he showed that he was enjoying the current situation very much.

Asmodeus panicked as if he had been caught in buffering, and Princess Charlotte grabbed me by the collar.

“Uh huh?”

“Sir Bern, are you sane? Laughing when your dear friend is in misfortune!”

“Princess, to be precise, she is a precious friend. Not now.”

“Even so, when I think of the friendship in the past… !”

“When you were young, your childhood friend, whom you promised to marry, met another man at the academy and fell in love with you?”

“He was a good person even if he died.”

Princess Charlotte, who calmly understands and frees my throat.

It seemed she couldn’t accept NTR either.

Ping-Chang even filters out the princess. Her act was an all-time legend.

Even though we’ve only shown the tip of the iceberg yet.

If you told me what you heard from Lewen, you might grind your teeth to death, saying that you would definitely execute him.

It was a pity that I couldn’t easily put it in my mouth because it was a future thing.

“I understand why the friend’s misfortune has no choice but to become Lord Verne’s happiness. But what was that wish from before? You are using a precious wish for an unwholesome purpose!”

“Princess, it is not at all unsound. I haven’t said it until now, but I have a future wife, and it was an indispensable wish to build a happy family with them. One of my dreams in the future is to create a large family, and our family will contribute to the development of the kingdom as the people of Holden Kingdom.”

“If you talk like that, you’ll have nothing to say… !”

When she heard that she would faithfully fulfill her duty as a citizen, Princess Charlotte could not raise any objections.

My dream is to live happily ever after paying taxes and giving birth to children.

Saying that, how can I say something from the princess’s point of view?

The argument with Princess Charlotte was over, and Orc was nodding his head from the start, supporting my choice.

Now, there is only one person left with a lump.

“what… ? So you’re saying I only did things that benefited him?”

“that’s right. It was an assist that made me want to bow because I was so grateful.”

“Did you ever see something like this… … .”

Asmodeus sighed and pressed his forehead with the palm of his hand.

It seemed that he wanted to see me in despair and tormented by guilt.

However, the fact that things didn’t go the way I intended, and that I was happy with it, must have been dissatisfaction.

“Thank you, it was a very satisfying transaction. It’s to the point where I want to do it at least 20 more times.”

“… … I’ll admit, this was a turn I didn’t expect at all. But you haven’t forgotten that you have to pay the price for fooling around me without even knowing the subject, right?”

Asmodeus’ foot kicked the base of the scythe.

Using the recoil to turn the scythe around, she took a stance.

As expected, a fight was inevitable.

The Orc, who had been shy until now, recognized that the situation was not something to be taken lightly as he was avoiding his seat.

“princess. I’m sorry, but could you please step back?”

“Are you thinking of dealing with the demons alone? You must have said it knowing that it was reckless, right?”

“I know. This time, I have no valid excuses, so I have no intention of persuading the princess.”

“Why do you say that to me when you know it well?”

“This is an opponent you have to fight with all your might. You have to reveal all the power you’ve been hiding until now. I am ashamed to reveal this, but I have dabbled in the taboo.”

“… … In other words, I might be in danger, so I’m telling you to back off?”

“I will leave the interpretation up to the princess’s imagination.”

It was not wrong.

In order to fully use Prach’s power, it was better to have no one around.

Saying that fact straight would hurt Princess Charlotte’s pride.

That’s why I didn’t say much. He just pulled out a pitch-black demonic sword engraved with blood-colored runes.

“ah… … .”

A drooling sound flowed from the princess who confirmed the shape of the demonic sword.

He must have learned what the taboo I was referring to was.

I bowed to Princess Charlotte with my mouth shut, then turned my back.

Because from now on, the opponent I should be focusing on was over there.

“It’s a demonic sword… … . Somehow, I heard that I felt a little bit of demonic energy that humans do not have, so it was a contract with a demonic sword.”

Asmodeus started laughing in a different way.

The essence of demons lies in the act of watching and enjoying the depravity of humans.

In that sense, I, who signed a contract with the demonic sword, was advertising that I was already corrupted, so it was bound to be funny.

‘At the very least, if I make it cool, I won’t be able to think that way.’

[Be careful. The skills of the ancient demons may be monotonous, but their skills will far exceed those of the current demons.]

‘I’ll keep that in mind.’

It was an opponent that could never be defeated by a simple power struggle.

With such a mind set in advance, I was wary of Asmodeus.

The moment I strained my eyes to see how she would come out.

Asmodeus came close to me and raised his scythe.

“uh… ?”

I hurriedly bowed my back.

Whoo-!

The scythe, aimed at my neck, cut through the air.

Not stopping there, I instinctively threw myself and rolled forward.

A second later, dozens of pitch-black spears appeared where I was and pierced the floor.

Had it been a little late, it would have been a skewer.

“okay. I wanted to see your expression like that!”

“… … town!”

Asmodeus laughed excitedly and swung the scythe again.

Chaeeng-!

Prach’s blade struck the body of the scythe, but it didn’t cut at all.

I only blocked the scythe for a moment.

It wasn’t even the time to be relieved. Asmodeus used the snap of his wrist to pierce the curved blade of the scythe inward.

“Kuu… !”

The tip of the scythe ripped through the skin on his face, causing blood to flow.

Although he had been confined to the corner of his room, he could see that Asmodeus’ sense of battle hadn’t died.

While she speaks leisurely. I couldn’t say a single word because I was blocking and dodging.

[Contractor, the preparations for the abilities you desired have been completed.]

“good. This is enough to warm up the body, so let’s fight in earnest… !”

[Let’s show our bond.]

As the ruler of the momentary world, the time of one second, I dug into the arms of Asmodeus.

I aimed at her neck and swung the flashing red Prah.

“What?!”

After one second passes, the world’s time returns to normal.

Asmodeus hurriedly grabbed Frach with his empty left hand.

Because it was superior to my muscular strength, the blade of the sword did not reach her neck.

However, instead of a pheasant, it was a chicken, so it was possible to take something else.

“You shouldn’t carelessly hold someone else’s precious sword.”

“Swordki! big… !”

Squeak-!

As the black energy surrounding the sword was released, Asmodeus’ left hand was cut off in half.

I pulled my arm back and aimed at her neck again and stabbed the tip of my sword.

Asmodeus spurred the ground and stepped back a long way.

I pursued her with the determination not to miss the chance to counterattack that I had barely seized.

The scythe is irregular and has a long range, but is at a disadvantage in close combat.

Never give up your distance.

“Be persistent… ! You are persistent!”

“I think that I am receiving love that I have never received before.”

and! I’m a fan! Please sign!

Like those who tried to cling to him like that, he persistently followed and aimed at Asmodeus’ neck.

Nonetheless, there were no effective hits except for the first surprise attack.

The blade of the sword cleverly swung a scythe to block it, and the sword energy was offset by a jet-black spear created from the magic circle.

“ha… ! ha… !

It felt like fighting Marianne, who had been awakened by the power of the Earth Mother.

If there is a difference from that time, this time the opponent was in a state of rationality, so the target did not work.

Most of all, the fact that I was in a state where I couldn’t use magic was big.

If only he could use magic, he could have turned the battle around a bit more.

However, it was a daunting opponent to fight with pure swordsmanship and the power of Prach.

“okay! Let’s have a mud fight as you wish! Will I get tired first? Or will you get tired first?”

“Write… !”

Chae-chae-chae-!

The scythe and the sword clashed continuously, creating embers.

In the midst of the intense battle, I was only staring at Asmodeus’ neck.

‘Ah, a damn slapped neck fetish.’

At least it would have been comfortable if only the eyes were free.

In a situation where the boa was dense, it felt strangely that the lower abdomen was also swollen.

‘Oh, that’s a big deal… .’

[What’s going on?]

It seemed that a little bit of the aphrodisiac gas effect remained in his body.

In the meantime, his stamina was awakened, and adrenaline was being secreted in full due to the battle.

My body couldn’t help but react violently.

‘I’m hot… !’

My heart was beating excessively.

If this continues, shock-induced cardiac arrest may occur.

We have to stop the fight, but if you give me even a little gap… … .

“die!”

“Oh, damn it!”

The scythe of Asmodeus, aimed at the waist.

Giving up on the flow I had grasped, I stepped back all the way.

In the process, I gave my back a little bit, but it’s okay. It’s just a thin cut.

“hmm?”

The moment he tried to correct his posture, dismissing it as a minor injury.

Took-!

Something fell from my waist to the floor. It was my leather belt.

At the same time, my pants flowed down.

“Sir, f*ck… ?”

It was a completely unexpected major disaster.

If you get attacked in your current state, you will die without fail.

We must hurry to rectify the situation… … !

“Hee!”

Contrary to my expectations, however, Asmodeus screamed and turned his face red.

Her gaze was directed at my lower body, so I naturally lowered my head.

“Oh, two swords… !”

“oh.”

As Asmodeus said, there was a sword between his legs.

What had previously been nothing more than a wooden stick had developed to the level of a holy sword.

It’s time to be reborn as a sword master.
