As I watched the viewers’ comments stream down the screen like a waterfall, I was reminded of a certain moment from my battle with Raskshasa.
That’s right. The guy had definitely shouted something like this:
“For the sake of my dream—to carry out the grand plan of flirting shamelessly with my harem in the real world! You shall meet a spectacular end right here!”
Wait a minute…
Was this guy just a straight-up pervert?
“U-um. Well, I… I…”
“I swear I’ll make you happy! I promise! I swear it on the Dungeon Master!”
Swearing an oath on that guy could only lead to a disastrous future.
“Hey, old man. What exactly is that man talking about?”
“Uh, well… I guess it’s some new kind of pickup line?”
“Mina-chan’s popular with the guys, after all!”
I don’t think that’s the issue here, Satsuki-chan.
“I-I’m sorry! I can’t marry you!”
Oh. She rejected him at the speed of light.
“Why not?! There can’t possibly be a man in the human world as strong and handsome as I am!”
“N-no, that’s not really the point…”
“Then what is the point?! Explain it to me so I can understand!”
Raskshasa seemed completely oblivious to the fact that proposing to someone the instant you met them was already a terrible idea. Instead, he doubled down, pressing Mina-chan even harder for an answer.
It wasn’t as though he was ugly. Sure, he was an oni, but he had a well-defined, handsome face that easily put him in the good-looking category. I wasn’t exactly popular with women myself, but even I knew that this was no way to win a woman over.
“I-I already have someone I like!”
“Someone you… like?”
Even from where I stood, I could see Raskshasa’s expression shift from sorrow to anger.
His face was truly demonic. Well, he was an oni, after all, but still—he looked downright terrifying.
Mina-chan’s confession had clearly struck a nerve, and the hatred in his eyes was now directed at the person she had feelings for.
| > Don’t tell me she means the old man? > No way. > Wait, does Mina-chan even have a boyfriend? > Haven’t heard any rumors about that. > If she had a boyfriend, she’d just say so, wouldn’t she? > Then who’s the guy she likes? > There’s no way it’s Daishi, right? > Not a chance. > Didn’t those two get all lovey-dovey after the battle with the Abyssal Dragon King Ades? > She even brushed his bangs up and declared him handsome. > Wait, what if she was actually serious about that? > I refuse to accept the old man being popular with women. > Huh? Daishi-kun is pretty handsome, though. > I’ve always liked him. For his face, I mean. > Daishi’s a good-looking guy, you know. |
…Uh, what?
I wasn’t sure how to feel about being insulted one moment and praised the next.
No, wait! That wasn’t the point!
The comments suggesting that Mina-chan might actually have feelings for me had left me feeling strangely unsettled. There was no way that could be true. Right?
…Hey, hold on a second.
Raskshasa was glaring right at me, black flames practically blazing from his eyes!
“I see, Mina-san. You’ve been brainwashed by Daishi Ajiri, haven’t you?”
“Huh? Wait, what are you misunderstanding—”
“Please wait just a moment. I shall deliver divine retribution upon that insolent wretch and free you from his accursed grasp!”
“Clairvoyance!”
I’d let my guard down because things had been quiet on the battlefront lately!
This was a battlefield! Raskshasa had already entered full-blown, rage-fueled rampage mode!
I hadn’t been able to see through his abilities before, but things were different now. With my current powers, I should be able to see them!
First things first—I had to check immediately!
| Name: Raskshasa Class: Oni God Level: 328 HP: 29,999/29,999 MP: 12,024/11,124 Strength: 23,531 Endurance: 15,449 Agility: 19,422 Intelligence: 16,178 Oni Power: 34,999 Skills: 【Oni Burial (MAX) 】 【Oni Fist (MAX) 】 【Oni Thrust (MAX) 】 【Oni Slayer (MAX) 】 【Even Oni Shed Tears (MAX) 】 【Oni Annihilation (MAX) 】 Unique Skill: 【Summon Dead Oni】 Title: 【Guardian of the Selected Realm】 |
THE NUMBERS ARE ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL!!!
What the hell is this?! There’s no way I can beat someone like this!
Why the hell are all his stats five digits or higher?! Mine are only four digits, you know?!
At this point, we’re not even playing the same game anymore!
“For the sake of my beloved Mina-san, I shall ensure that you die here, without fail!”
Despite being an oni, Raskshasa was slowly advancing toward me with an aura resembling the Thousand-Armed Kannon radiating from behind him for some inexplicable reason! With every step he took, the pale blue space around us trembled and warped!
Damn it! Forget about trying to figure everything out. First, I had to do something about Satsuki-chan and Shion-san!
“Both of you, take Ryunosuke-kun and fall back! Get as far away from here as you can!”
Of course, they had noticed it too. Without a word, they quickly retreated to a safe distance.
There was no doubt about it. This was the strongest enemy I had ever faced. I’d never win with half-hearted resolve!
But what should I do? The difference in our abilities was painfully obvious. If I fought him normally, I’d have virtually no chance of winning.
In that case…
I really didn’t want to use that here, with my allies gathered so close together, but I probably had no choice but to unleash it. It was the power of the Nether King, after all. Even if my stats were inferior to his, that shouldn’t matter.
I didn’t have time to think things through.
Just use it already, me!
“Haahhhhh! Come forth, Hell Ga—”
“Hmph!”
BASHOOOM!
“…Huh?”
“Like a fool who only knows one trick. I’ve already prepared a countermeasure for that skill.”
The burial energy I’d been building up was snuffed out in an instant. The activation of the Hell Gate was canceled, and the ‘＊’ never appeared in this place.
“Without the Nether King’s blessing, you’re nothing more than a withered old man. Regret the sin of deceiving Mina-san, and despair!”
Ah. This is bad…. I might actually die here.…
