Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha Wo Taosu Tameni Maou Ni Shoukansaremashita~

TL : Cnine

ED/PF : akshaythedon

I’m standing on the central plaza in the rampart.

The dark park where only moonlight shines upon.

I’m wearing the complete set of armor which I made with special magic using magic tools.

This is the second time I am wearing this dark knight armor.

It might turn into a serious battle.

There’s an extremely thick line of defense in the temple, and Reiji’s also in there.

That’s why I wore the strongest equipments amongst the ones I received from Modes. I’ll appear in front of them in a similar dress like that time during our first encounter.

I shall go, then. I’ve decided.

My goal is to talk directly with Rena.

But, I have to confine her and prevent her from escaping, while I’m breaking from the front.

That’s why I’ll use this.

Currently there are thirty small white gems inside the pouch that I held in my hand.

It was a magic item made with dragon fangs as the raw material.

Modes gave these to me when I left Nargol to use in case I needed them.

He said that not anyone can easily use these gems, but I might be able to use it.

I’m scattering these white gems at certain intervals.

And then I start reciting the aria.

「O SOLDIER MADE FROM THE FANG OF A DRAGON, ARISE FROM THY SLUMBER！ ！ 」

After reciting the aria, fully armed soldiers, wearing armors on their bodies, ocher helmets on their heads, round shield on their left arm, and sword in their right hand, crawl out from the ground. They numbered thirty.

They were the soldiers born from the magic called Dragon Fang Soldier,（Spartoi）.

One can’t feel any life in them from their eyes shining red from the little crevice of their helmets.

Spartois line up and stand in an arrangement in front of me.

Gazing at these spartois made me think that magic is truly wonderful since these soldiers were just born from those tiny gems.

I was half-convinced whether these soldiers would really arise when I received the explanation about the magic gems from Modes.

Now, I can feel the magical power-like link with the spartois that were born from the magic gems.

If that’s the case, it seems I can manipulate them with ease.

「Nut, Please wait outside of the temple」

I request Nut who is sitting on my shoulder. He’ll be in danger if it turns into a combat zone.

「Aye」

Nut quickly descends from my shoulder.

「And then, maybe I won’t be able to return. That’s why…」

I took a gem from my bosom pocket and gave it to Nut.

「NO WAY, DIEHART-SAMA！ ！ ！ 」

It’s a Metastasis gem. It was a magic item which can be used once even by someone who can’t use metastasis magic.

「I am just talking about the "worst" case. You must go back by using that gem in case I don"t return tomorrow morning」

「Diehart-sama…」

「Nut, it’s not like I’m going to die, you know. I will definitely retreat if things became too dangerous」

On hearing those words, Nut"s tension comes down.

「If that’s what you mean…. Understood, may the fortunes of war be with you…」

Nut reluctantly agreed to my request.

「SPARTOI, MOVE！ ！ 」

The spartois are starting to move. Their nimble movements makes it feel like they are not wearing heavy armor.

These spartois jump on the rooftop of houses like me, while moving nimbly without any discomfort.

Our target is Rena temple.

The spartois would invade from all the sides as a distraction while I break in. My own raid is delayed by one beat.

According to Nut"s story, Rena is currently in the altar room located at the center of the temple, since she’s making preparations to send Shirone back to our world.

It seems they are going to do the reverse summoning tomorrow. So, this is the only chance left for me to make my move.

We start advancing toward the temple of Rena.

「WAIT A MINUTE, REIJI-KUN, ISN’T THIS LIQUOR！ ！ 」

I’m protesting in regards to the beverage served before us.

「Well, it’s alright, Chiyuki. I mean this might be the last night you’ll be here」

Reiji is saying so with a jesting tone.

「That’s right, Chiyuki-san, don’t-don’t say such serious words」

「She’s right, Chiyuki-senpai. Please do not mention such words」

Rino and Nao also chime in with a merry tone.

I’ll be returning with Shirone to our original world tomorrow.

That’s why Reiji and the rest held a simple farewell party.

Reiji asked the people of the temple to prepare a light meal and beverages.

This prepared beverage was a liquor.

The one in my hand right now was a liquor that was made by mixing honey, sea water, and liquor made from a grape-like fruit.

This liquor has a low alcohol content, and it’s supposed to not make you drunk. Except for Kyouka who got knocked out with only one sip of it.

That Kyouka is lying down on the nearby sofa while being nursed by Kaya.

But, no matter how low the alcohol content is, ALL OF US ARE BASICALLY MISEINEN[MINOR], WE’RE BANNED FROM DRINKING LIQUOR. [TL : I’ll left minor as it is in j.a.panese, miseinen for the sake of act 2]

I might have failed to notice those facts if it’s not for the drunk Kyouka.

「But, this might be the last time you’ll be here Chiyuki, and we won’t be able to meet again for a while. So, let’s just enjoy your last moment in this world」

Reiji is saying so.

「I won’t meet anyone for a while, isn’t it….」

Shirone is saying so with a lonely tone.

Everyone become slightly gloomy due to her words.

「See that, Chiyuki. The mood became gloomy. So you should enjoy this along with everyone else」

Rino and Nao approved his words.

「Geez, it can’t be helped then…」

I reluctantly agreed to drink the liquor.

I mean, I also hate the fact that the mood tuned gloomy.

I remember the old times when I was always saved by Reiji.

I was raised with strict education by my parents.

Reiji was the one who took that kind of me to see the outside world.

I’m recalling the time when I skipped the school for the first time with just the two of us. We were playing in the city while everyone was studying. Though I know that I can’t do that, I still enjoyed such a refreshing experience that I never felt until that time.

Even our adventure in this world, though I was angry at Reiji, I have no doubt that I’m actually enjoying it deep within, too.

Fighting against dragon, went to caves, seas, mountains, meeting with elves. These were things that were supposed to be part of fantasy.

Naturally, there was danger and some painful experiences, but everyone enjoyed it because Reiji was there. It might have been very painful if I were to come to this world alone.

That’s why everyone doesn’t want to go back.

But this adventure of mine will end tomorrow.

I’ll be back to my normal everyday life. To be honest, I’m also reluctant to do so.

But we can’t act recklessly like that without no one returning to our world.

I won’t let the mood turn even gloomier.

As a result, I drink the liquor. This slightly sweet liquor is delicious.

Normally, we can’t drink such liquor with so many impurities inside without a straw made from a plant with hollow stem.

But, this liquor that we took from the temple has all of its impurities carefully removed, so it’s easy to drink.

We’re chatting happily with each other while drinking the liquor.

「Sorry, Reiji-kun. Our training stopped halfway through」

「Well, it can’t be helped. It was a sudden decision, after all」

Shirone is apologizing to Reiji.

Since Shirone suddenly decided to go back, it can’t be helped that the training to develop countermeasures against Diehart would be stopped. Moreover, Shirone has also said that coaching Reiji is impossible. Therefore, we need different measures.

「Everyone, please take care of Reiji. You must not let him fight without a guarantee of victory, especially against Diehart！ ！ 」

Everyone is nodding.

Diehart is strong. But, he is not the kind of opponent that we should fight by betting our own life on the line.

I’ll ask Kaya to search for that pervert. Depending on the situation, we might have to find the other person who can do the summoning ritual aside from Rena.

We might have no choice but to ask for that person, since it seems we won’t be able to beat the demon king without defeating Diehart first.

After that, we continued to enjoy the liquor.

And then, when I was wondering whether we should end the party to prepare for tomorrow.

KANKANKAN.

Several bell tolls are resounding throughout the entire temple.

「What sound is that！？ 」

Everyone is looking at each other"s face with curious expressions.

「INTRUDEーR！ ！ 」

「THEY ARE COMING FROM THE WEST ENTRANCE！ ！ ！ 」

「WE HAVE ALSO CAUGHT THE SIGHT OF STRANGE GUYS AT THE EAST ENTRANCE！ ！ 」

It was the panicked voice of the knights.

「Intruder！ ？ 」

The bell that resounded a while ago was a warning equipment.

「Intruder huh, do we need to welcome them？ 」

Reiji is pondering about it.

The first thing that I want to know is about the ident.i.ty of the intruder.
