Chapter 4
Rescuing the
Girl
Translator : PolterGlast
"I am Belluja,
the Serpent God, one of the high-ranking officers of the Demon Lord's Army! I
will kill anyone who stands in my way!"
He screamed and came
at me with tremendous momentum.
"Eat this! ≪Deadly Poison≫!"
The snakes from his
head and his own mouth shoot poisonous projectiles at me. The number of bullets
exceeded a hundred.
"That's
disgusting, get out of my way!"
"Wha!?"
I repelled all of
these attacks with a single swing of my wooden stick as if I were swatting away
insects.
No wonder he was
surprised. There are not many people who can do such a trick. When faced with
overwhelming strength, living creatures tend to freeze in their thoughts.
"...... Well, it
seems you do at least have a little bit of ability. But my specialty is not
magic attacks, but physical attacks! I have strangled several young chicks who
claimed to be heroes with my body!"
This guy's physical
attack power is SS rank after all. It's true that once caught, every bone in
one's body would be shattered and one would not be able to retain their human
form. But then again, that's only if I'm one of those common adventurers.
"Die!"
Belluja shouted while
spitting venom all over the ground and slithering closer to me. He sticks out
his long tongue and threateningly hisses like a snake. There is not a shred of
beauty in it.
"You sure talk a
lot, you know that? Bite off your own tongue and die."

"Nwah!?"
Boom！！！！！
When I activated my
ability, Belluja lost his balance and plunged head-first into the wall.
No wonder. Because
while moving at high speed, all of his statuses suddenly dropped drastically.
I'm sure his body couldn't keep up.
"It's
hilarious."
I was about to swing
down the wooden stick, but he had already died.
He must either have
been crushed by the impact or died of shock.
If I put my mind to
it, I can defeat even a Demon Lord Army high-ranking officer all by myself. My
former party also killed two of the high-ranking officers, but without my
ability, they would have been turned into toys while they were still alive.
I wonder what they
will do when they meet the high-ranking officers in the future.
I'm a little
concerned, but that's okay.
"Well then, are
you all right?"
I approach the girl
who is still tied and hung up.
She is probably about
the same age as me. She looks like a human girl.
Up close, her skin is
translucent white. Eyes like sapphires. She is a beautiful girl with beautiful
silver hair that extends to her shoulders. She is slightly shorter than me and
has a slender body, but she shows a lot of her body. Her face has a nice shape,
and anyone who sees her would say she is pretty.
I untied her and sat
her down.
"Well, umm ...... thank you very much."
The girl thanked me
and turned over, fidgeting and hiding her body.
"Ah, here, put
this on."
I put on a robe that
had not a speck of dirt on it (although it was soaked in yesterday's alcohol)
and put it on the girl because her clothes were so tattered that they barely
fulfilled their function. It was a little difficult for me to look at her.
"Thank you. I
really don't know what to say ....... Well, if it's something I can do, I'll do
it to repay you. No, please let me repay you!"
The girl suddenly
looked up and pressed closer to me.
Her face is right in
front of mine and her body is dirty but she smells good.
Wait, I mean, she's
too close.
"Let's calm down
a little bit. You don't have to repay me."
"Ah, what did I
just do? I'm sorry for my sudden action. You don't want to be close to such a
dirty girl, do you?"
"No way, that's
not true. You are beautiful and pretty."
"Fu~e? Fu~eeeee
!?"
I wonder if she has
lost her vocabulary.
The girl flustered and
hid her face, then looked down in embarrassment.
Her white skin and
silver hair made her bright red face stand out.
I waited for her to
regain her composure before speaking.
"I haven't heard
your name yet. I'm Rikuto. I'm an adventurer, I guess."
I'm expelled and
unemployed now, though.
"Rikuto-sama. My
name is Fenley. Thank you so much for saving me."
Fenley bowed her head
so sincerely that her forehead touched the ground.
She is a polite and
honest girl.
"No need to go
that far. Also, there is no need to address me so formally. Just call me by my
first name."
I have no interest in
being treated favorably nor do I want to be obeyed.
Just a normal, equal
relationship is fine with me.
"No, no, that's
outrageous! I can't just address my benefactor by his first name! Please let me
do so because I want to. Is it ...... a no?"
She was asking so
while looking up at me from below.
She looks like a small
animal and makes me want to protect her.
"Since you insist
that much, you can call me whatever you want."
Then, Fenley chuckled
happily and called me "Rikuto-sama" repeatedly. When I answered her
with, "What is it?", she said nothing in particular and called me
"Rikuto-sama" again. It was as if she grew attached to me.
"By the way, why
was Fenley in a place like this?"
How did she wander all
the way here and live until now? At first glance, Fenley is not the type of
person who can fight. Or should I say, she can't do it at all. Well, I'll know
it when I see her status.

All of her statuses
are at the bottom. It's not a very good status to go out. It would be better to
stay at home and behave quietly.
"As you can see,
I have the lowest value in all statuses."
She said so with a sad
tone in her voice.
"So, it's not
because my ring is broken, huh? But then how did you end up here?"
"Well, it might
take a little time to tell you, is that okay?"
I'm interested in her
story. I nodded my head and decided to listen.
