Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

Chapter 122.2: Arnak, The Golden Capital

「It can’t be helped… You’re going to help us too, right Goddess Totona?」

I heaved a sigh and then looked at Totona.

「Sure. I have a duty to save my big brother too.」

Totona then looked at Medjed who stood behind her.

Medjed also gave a nod.

It was as if he agreed too.

It seems Medjed would come along too.

「Wait a meowment! Are you telling me that Totonyan is going too?!! Meow way, it’s too dangerous!! That place is su~per scary nya!」

Nel, who stood behind Sekhmetra, suddenly loudly objected. It seems she was worried about her best friend going to visit an extremely dangerous place.

Even in her myth, Totona wasn’t described as suited for combat. I understood why Nel was worried about her.

「Don’t worry, Nel!! I have a strong ally! I can vouch for him!!」

""

Her voice resounded in the room. Even I couldn’t help but be surprised to see her raise her voice like that. I mean, I never expected her to put so much trust in Reiji.

「Thanks Totona-chan. I’m honored to receive your trust.」

Reiji expressed his gratitude to Totona with his usual refreshing smile.

And yet, for some strange reason, Totona looked puzzled instead.

「Fufufu!! It’s decided then! Well then, let’s hold a banquet for you! Oi, bring the liquor! A lot of liquor and meat!!」

Sekhmetra’s voice resounded in the room.

===

◆The Destroyer, Medjed(Kuroki)

Both Totona and I followed Nel toward her room in Arnak.

Around this time, people were preparing for the banquet in the main room. But, we decided not to participate in that banquet. We were going to hold another small banquet just for the three of us in Nel’s room.

According to Totona, participating in the banquet in the main room would be too troublesome for me.

Finally, we arrived in front of a door with a picture of a lot of adorable cats.

""

Was this Nel’s room?

「Welcomeow back, princess.」

Wait a minute, where did that voice come from?

When I lowered my line of sight, I saw two cats standing on their hind legs, right below the gate with small spears in their hands.

They were probably the gatekeepers who guard Nel’s room.

Seeing them standing on their hind legs and talking like humans, they must be part of the catsith race.

According to the legend, cats originated from Gypseal. That’s why it wasn’t a big surprise to find catsith in this land.

「I’m homeow, everyone.」

The gatekeepers then opened the gate after Nel returned their greeting. It seems the cats were powerful enough to open the seemingly heavy gate with their own strength.

「By the way, Totonyan. Are you sure about this? You’ve heard how that serpent prince is bad nyeows, right?」

Nel asked anxiously after all of us entered the room.

Princess Nelfriti was the daughter of god Heibos and the Lioness queen, Sekhmetra.

It seems that Sekhmetra, who fell in love with Heibos at first sight, forced him to marry her on the spot.

She wasn’t just the Queen of Lions, but turns out she was a carnivorous woman too.

And then, the reason why Totona and Nel became such good friends was due to an incident in which Nel, who was filled with curiosity back then, ended up straying in Elios when she visited her father.

The one who found her and saved her by pure accident back then was none other than Totona, thus they became good friends.

They get along really well with each other.

「Don’t worry, Nel. I’m confident since I brought him with me for this occasion.」

Totona then moved her gaze to me.

I felt her full trust in me.

That’s why I had to protect her no matter what.

This was for Shirone’s sake too. I had a personal reason to fight.

「Come to think of it, I have been wondering since a meowhile ago, what is this interesting creature?」

Nel pointed at me.

Totona looked at me.

It seems she was waiting for my permission before introducing me.

Naturally, I nodded.

Nel was someone that gained Totona’s trust after all, it was only natural for me to trust Nel too.

「His name is Kuroki. He hid his identity and called himself Medjed for this occasion. He is also the Dark Knight of Nargol who defeated both Alphos and the Hero of Light.」

Totona puffed her chest lightly as she introduced me.

Why did it feel like she was a bit proud?

Nel stared dumbfoundedly at me.

「Won against that super strong Alphos, I seow… That’s reassuring indeed.」

Nel glanced at me.

I felt my face heating up due to embarrassment upon receiving such a gaze.

「Kuroki, it’s safe to take off the cloth in this place.」

I finally felt at ease after hearing Totona’s remark.

I couldn’t even speak in front of Reiji and co. In that situation, the only way to communicate with them was by shaking my body.

In that situation, they only saw me moving my waist to the side.

Moreover, it was rather suffocating and hard to move.

Thus I decided to take off the cloth.

「Ha~h, wearing this cloth is really suffocating. Thanks, Totona.」

I felt a sense of liberation the moment I took off the cloth.

Eh? Why did Totona and Nel’s gaze focus on my lower body?

I lowered my line of sight.

That moment, I realized that I just made the biggest blunder in my life.

FUDGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I FORGOT THAT I WAS WEARING NOTHING ON MY LOWER BODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

But, it was too late, my lower body had already been exposed right in front of Nel and Totona.

「Hoe~~. Even though I saw Har-kun’s thingy too when we were still kids, this is completely differenya~. This really is a splendid one, right Totonyan?」

After looking at my manhood with an extremely interested look on her face, Nel moved her line of sight to Totona, asking her that question.

And yet, Totona didn’t say anything back to her best friend.

She kept looking at my manhood without even a twitch on her expressionless face.

Thus, I snapped out and hurriedly hid my manhood.

「Uhm, Totona, about this…」

I have to find a justification for this, otherwise she would label me as a pervert.

「Is something the matter, Totonyan?」

Nel called Totona with a worried look on her face.

Which reminds me, Totona’s state was rather strange.

The moment I thought so.

Totona suddenly fell backwards.

「Woah, watch out!!?」

I propped Totona in a hurry before she fell on the floor.

It seems she fainted.

Could it be that the shock from seeing my manhood was too much for her?

「HANG IN THERE, TOTONYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!」

Nel’s scream resounded in the room.
