4 A mysterious dark knight appears (1/2)
Friends of the Brave and Wise Chiyuki
You're almost there, Chiyuki.
Reno, aka Rino Sasaki, said as she spun around and danced.
Reno is a good dancer, as she was a model who wanted to be able to sing and dance in her former world.
Does she know that lately she is beginning to be called the goddess of dance by the people of this world?
She is the center of people's attention because she dances everywhere when she walks down the street of people.
The problem lies in the fact that she prefers to dress like a mini-skirt.
As a result, she is often subjected to the disreputable gaze of many men.
When I mentioned this to her, she said, ”I'm used to it, so it's fine,” and she didn't seem to mind.
A model may be a job that cannot be done unless you are used to such a look.
If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it.
''Well, it really is a bit more than that, Reno-san.
I nodded at Reno's words.
We're almost to the Demon King's castle.
If we defeat the Demon King Modes there, we will be able to return to our home world.
This long journey is over.
''Yeah, this painful journey is also over.
Rage says with great emotion.
'Lies, you always seemed to be having fun,'
Was it?
When I say that, he laughs.
For him, summoned as a brave man of light, this world must have actually been fun for him.
No, he wasn't the only one.
Both Reno and Nao were enjoying themselves.
It was half a year ago that we came to this world.
We were summoned to this world by a woman named Raina who claimed to be a goddess.
She asked us to defeat the demon king.
It's just like a cartoon situation.
To be honest, I wasn't happy. What she did was a kidnapping. It's very unforgivable.
But I couldn't tell Raina to let me leave this world.
This was because Rage easily took it upon himself to listen to a beautiful girl's request and took on the task of defeating the Demon King.
That's why the other girls ended up going along with me.
However, I was the only one who was dissatisfied, while Reiji, Reno, Nao, and others were overjoyed to be in the game world.
And so our adventure began.
I was worried at first.
I wondered if we would be able to make it in this world.
But my fears were unfounded.
We are strong in this world.
Our physical abilities have improved tremendously since we came to this world; we are like superhumans.
I see this increase in physical ability as being proportionally higher than our abilities in the original world.
This is because Rage and Nao, who had high physical abilities in the original world, have the highest physical ability among us.
But even Sahoko, who has the lowest physical ability, can probably throw off a few average adult men in this world.
Another thing, magic.
It seems that magic can only be used by a handful of people in this world.
We can all use that magic. It's a good thing that you're able to use the highest level of magic that this world's people can't compete with.
By the way, the strength of the magic ability, me, Rage and Sahoko are high and Nao is the lowest.
I don't know why this is so because there was no magic in the original world.
It was that magic, but we couldn't all use the same magic.
I can't use fire and lightning magic as well as Reno, and I'm not as good at healing magic as Sahoko. In return, Reno and Sahoko can't use magic such as transference.
Nao, who is familiar with such games, says that Reno is a spirit-based wizard and Sahoko is a healing wizard. And I am a magician.
Those of us who can use these abilities are the strongest beings in this world.
Especially Rage, who has become known as the Brave Man of Light, has amazing fighting abilities, and even if the other five of us, including myself, were to get together, we would not be able to beat him.
Raina says that if it's only his fighting ability, he's comparable to Odis, the King of the Gods.
If it was just the girls, except for Rage, the dangerous place was easily overcome thanks to his presence.
That journey is almost over.
In hindsight, it would have been good to be a little more greedy.
Couldn't he have demanded some kind of reward for returning me to the world I was returning to?
Rage quickly cheapened the contract so he couldn't promise anything in return, but he could demand a reward later.
A rage that is weak on beautiful women will probably fail with women anyway.
I wish I could direct that kindness to the same s*x, but he's not interested in doing so.
According to him, men have to solve their own problems and he only helps women.
However, to my eyes, it looks like they are pinpointing and helping only pretty girls, but I guess it's just my imagination.
''I've been checking out the Demon King's Castle~''
Nao came back after she went to scout out the area.
She's the ace of the school's track and field team that we attended, and she's as physically strong as Rage.
She's been called the wild child of the school, etc., but when you actually go out with her, she's quite a cute girl.
She is self-aware of her position as a ranger or sifu in the game, and it's her role to conduct this kind of reconnaissance.
'How was it going, Nao-san?'
Hmmm... We don't have any traps, and we didn't have any soldiers to protect us. I think it's safe to continue on like this.
That's weird, because it's your last stronghold?
You're afraid of us and you're holed up in here, aren't you?
Reno says optimistically.
'Maybe they don't have enough soldiers to protect them anymore? See, the other day you beat those guys, the Dark Knights. Maybe that was the last time: ......
Shirone says, sounding unsure of herself.
Sirone's family runs a kendo hall, and she herself is a kendo player.
She is now one of the strongest swordsmen in this world, and if she were to fight without magic in this one, she would be second only to Rage.
I've actually seen her in action, and her ponytail moved dynamically, as if she were performing a 'dance'.
She wears light armor to make it easier for her to move.
Rage suggested the bikini armor, but as expected, she refused it.
Incidentally, the dark knights she refers to are the ones we fought against four days ago.
At that time, Rage had taken a separate action, and those of us who fought without Rage had a hard time.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
However, the formation was reversed when Rage, who noticed our danger, ran to the scene. Lanfeld escaped with his life.
The Dark Knights who attacked due to that Rage's success were nearly destroyed, and there are probably only a few remnants of them left.
'I think it's best if there's nothing there either: ......
Sahoko says.
She hates conflict more than anything else among us.
She is skilled in healing magic and heals the sick and injured in her spare time.
She has been called a saint of healing, for example.
'Surely it's best if we don't have any resistance as it is, it's just too much trouble for the weaker ones to come out.
I agree with Sahoko.
'Well, you'll know it when you go. Come on guys, let's go!
”'Oh!'
Reno and Nao shout their approval at Rage's call.
We walk to the Demon King's castle.
A few minutes later.
We come to the main gate of the castle without any problems.
There is no garrison. Instead, one person in jet black armor was standing there.
''The Dark Knight ......?''
It was dressed similarly to the dark knight he had fought before this.
His face could not be seen due to the helmet covering him, but it didn't seem to be Runfeld.
But why alone.
Everyone else besides me is nodding their heads.
After all this time, a single dark knight shouldn't even be able to deal with us if he is alone.
What is the Demon King thinking?
The dark knight draws his sword.
''My name is Dark Knight Dihardt! Brave Rage, I want a single combat!
Kuroki, the young man who became the Dark Knight
”My name is Dark Knight Dihardt! Brave Rage, I want a single combat!
Wearing the armor of a dark knight, I stand in front of them and say my name.
A sword in my hand.
It's a magic sword that Modes gave to me. Apparently, its sharpness changes according to the magic power of its owner.
The sword's blade is black with a vermilion pattern on it in places.
