Chapter 117 Isnt it Fine if Chronois-san is the Protagonist Now? (1/2)
When the turmoil of the attack settled down, passersby started showing up in the streets where no one was supposed to be there, and not only that, the buildings that should have been destroyed have been restored before I knew it.
According to Sieg-san, it’s a powerful Barrier Magic, and when it’s lifted, the property damages will return to the state it was in before the Magic was used.
And once, Sieg-san suggests that we go back to the mansion to sort out the situation, Alice simply said “Then, I’m going home. Good work, everyone~~” as she left, and after we part ways with Alice, returned to Lilia-san’s mansion.
When we returned to the mansion, Lilia-san was standing in front of the doorway with a worried expression on her face, as it seems Sieg-san had sent a hummingbird to her beforehand.
[Kaito-san! Are you alright!? Any injuries!? Where does it hurt!?]
[Huh, Ah, no……]
[Calm down Lili, he can’t answer if you’re that flustered.]
[Ah, yes. I’m sorry…… It’s just as Sieg…… said…… Eh?]
Lilia-san, who suddenly came too close to me with great vigor, flusteredly confirmed my safety, before she’s stopped by Sieg-san who had a wry smile on her face.
Thereupon, after Lilia-san composed herself and apologized…… Her eyes opened wide and she turned towards Sieg-san.

[Anyway, right now, we are checking the situation. Depending on the situation, we may need to ask for assistance from the royal palace.]
[……………..]
[Liily? Did you hear me?]
[Eh, ah, yes…… ummm, errr…… Sieg, your voice……]
[Eh? Ahh, I haven’t mentioned it huh. I did end up eating the Fruit of the World Tree.]
[……Auuu……]
Apparently, because she gave priority to telling her about the attack, Sieg-san forgot to tell her that her voice had returned, so she told the surprised Lilia-san again that she had eaten the Fruit of the World Tree.
Hearing her words, Lilia-san had tears in her eyes, as if she was overcome with emotion, and she jumped at Sieg-san.
[Sieg!]
[Eh? Wait, Lili!?]

[That’s great…… That your voice came back…… It’s really…… great……]
[……Lili. I’m sorry I made you worry about lots of things.]
[It’s totally fine…… Compared to Kaito-san……]
[……………….]
Hearing the voice of her best friend that she has been waiting for for so many years has returned, Lilia-san shed tears…… And it’s quite a beautiful sight. However, why did you just suddenly speak ill of me like it’s natural!?
Although I truly wanted to refute her, those stuff in the past did happen…… So I won’t say anything.
After that, Lunamaria-san also emerged from the mansion, joining the scene and is happy that Sieg-san’s voice has returned.
The moment the slightly tense atmosphere from earlier eases and the atmosphere becomes somewhat calm……
[Master!?]
[Eh? What!?]

When I heard Anima’s shout, I turned around and saw a huge pillar of fire rising around the front gate, so huge that it pierced the heavens.
And from within that pillar of hellfire…… That appeared.
[I’ll be intruding.]
That appeared with the sound of giant footsteps, having a muscular body covered in blazing, flame-like body hair. It has a goat-like face with huge twisted horns and a truly demonic appearance……
It was bigger than any creature I’ve ever seen, with a body that must have been well over 10 meters tall. An authentic monster appeared.
[……W- War King-sama!?
[ ! ? ]
S- So, it’s him…… One of the Six Kings, the ferocious king who loves to fight…… The War King, Megiddo Argetes Borgnes!?
W- What an extraordinary amount of magic power he has…… It’s so big that he could blow us away just by being here.
And that’s not all, combined with the tremendously belligerent emotions felt by my Sympathy Magic, it makes me feel like it’s burning my body.

Behind the War King, stands several Demons that seemed to be his subordinates, including the “three” Demons that we had encountered not long ago…… However, no matter how I see it, didn’t he appear too soon!? Also, isn’t that Bacchus not with them?
And then, the War King leisurely comes towards us with his massive footsteps and stops in front of us.
Up close, he really looks tremendously enormous, and the intimidation of his gaze as he seemed to look down on me isn’t being suppressed at all.
[You’re Miyama Kaito, right?]
[……Y- Yes.]
[Why did you turn down my invitation…… I was waiting for you and ready to welcome you back in our place though?]
[ ! ? ]
Scary…… Clearly speaking, he’s absurdly scary.
I can’t stop shaking just by being before the sharp fangs in his mouth that could swallow my body in a single gulp.
I don’t know if he’s angry that I didn’t respond to his invitation, but it felt like he’s glaring at me…… Still, I grit my teeth and look straight into the War King’s eyes and replied.

It might be the smart choice to apologize here but…… unfortunately, I can’t do that.
[……Y- Your subordinates surprise attacked us…… You’re asking me to accept the invitation of someone who injured Sieg-san, a “person important to me” and has always been helping me… There’s no way I will comply.]
Honestly, just this anger hasn’t gone away yet.
Sieg-san was injured by Eta. Even if that wound was healed by the Fruit of the World Tree, I couldn’t bring myself to accept the invitation of such a person, nor would I want to be friently with them.
Even if I am going to be killed here and now, I still wouldn’t bow my head to him.
[ ~ ~ ! ? ]
[Oi, Sieg. Please consider the situation at all. Stop looking happy over there.]
[I- I’m sorry. It just unintentionally……]
When he heard those words I clearly said as I trembled, the War King’s expression became even angrier…… before he turned away from me.
[……Eh?]

[……Haaahhh? Surprise attacked? What does this mean!? Bacchus!]
[……Can I speak my explanation?]
[You tell me now, or I’ll kill you!]
Surprisingly, instead of directing his anger at me, the War King turned to the mummy behind his back…… Ah, that’s Bacchus huh…… Ein-san’s one strike was that tremendous huh.
And then, Bacchus goes on to explain in detail what happened earlier to the War King.
And after he finished speaking for a while, Bacchus deeply bows to the War King.
[……That’s all.]
[……I see, well, I doubt you’re gonna do anything that would incur my anger…… The problem is those fellows huh……]
[ [ ! ? ] ]
After listening to Bacchus’s explanation, the War King looks at Eta and Theta, who twitched in response.

Then, the War King grabbed the two bodies together with one hand and easily lifted them up.
[Uwaaaahhhh!?]
[Gaaaaaahhhhh!?]
I don’t know if they’re held up by that much force, Eta and Theta let out woeful screams, but showing no signs of loosening his grip, the War King releases his angry shout.
[You bastards…… You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me! I told you to lead him to me! I never f*cking told you to surprise attack anyone!!! You f*cking heard me!!!?]
[Aaggghhh, m- my apolo……]
The color of the hair covering the War King’s body changed from red to black…… And it looked like he had turned into an incarnation of a burning black flame.
