◇◇ DEEP IN A CERTAIN FOREST ◇◇
「You came fast, Ririanju」
The third subordinate of the Evil God, the Majin of Threads, Valentine, said that as she looked at her familiar, Ririanju, who was kneeling in front of her.
「… Valentine-sama, I’m sorry for my delay」, said Ririanju with her head down as sweat accumulated on her forehead.
Ririanju had not only been helping the Blond Hero, but even ignored her duties as a familiar while obstructing the work of the other Wickeds.
Ririanju, who was aware of that, was unable to look directly at Valentine.
Valentine, who was looking at Ririanju, said, 「I want you to tell me everything you know about this world」, while pulling Ririanju’s hair.
「Va-Valentine-sama!? Why-why so suddenly!?」
「Speak fast」
Valentine pulled Ririanju’s head until she was in front of her face.
「What have you been doing? Give me a summary of everything you’ve done」, said Valentine as she watched her with a look full of bloodlust.
The Wicked’s Familiars had a mechanism that memorized their actions implanted in their brain, which their masters could use to know what they had done just by using a thought wave.
After reviewing the records stored in Ririanju’s brain, Valentine became enraged after understanding what Ririanju had been doing for the Blonde Hero.
「Impossible, to think that one of my familiars would betray us」
「It-It’s not what you think, Valentine-sama, I haven’t betrayed you…」
Ririanju tried to defend herself desperately.
However, Valentine just looked at her with a look distorted by anger.
Ririanju could not help suppressing her words because of the incredible pressure and terror that that gaze influenced her.
「You can take your excuses to the other world」, said Valentine.
At that moment, countless threads began to emerge from Valentine’s hands.
The threads, which were generated from Valentine’s fingertips, immediately wrapped around Ririanju’s neck, and immediately afterwards began to tighten it.
At that moment, Ririanju, who had begun to suffocate in the beginning in which the threads began to strangle her, felt overwhelmed with terror and the feeling of weakness.
Then, at that moment.
「Damn it, who do you think you are forcing me to come here looking for you!」
A man’s voice rang out behind Valentine.
「Who is~? Who dares to interrupt me!」, said Valentine, as she slowly turned to the place of origin of that voice.
There was the Blond Hero, who was pointing at Valentine with his right hand.
◆◇ FAR EAST OF HOUTAROU CITY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUNTAINS ARNPS ◇◆
After spending the night in the villa, Furio and his family decided to walk through the snowy mountain early in the morning.
However, since they went with the children, they made sure to avoid going through the steepest slopes while going down the safest areas.
「Can’t we just go down while rolling down the hill like yesterday?」, said Gozaru while looking at the slope with expectations.
At that moment, Uliminus, with a cold look on his face, told him,「Of course… if that’s what you want nya, why don’t you go and go down alone nya?」, with a look of contempt on her face.
By the way, today, Uliminus had once again covered herself with a pile of layers of clothing, from the feet to the tip of her head, which made her look like a Daruma doll.
NT: Daruma dolls are round-shaped red dolls that have neither arms nor legs. Its face is white, and usually has a big eyebrows and mustaches.
Then Gozaru turned to Uliminus and began to laugh as he said.
「Oh? Do you want to come too? You should have said it from the beginning」
Then, he took Uliminus, who looked like a Daruma due all the clothes she wore, and started running downhill at a great speed.
「Wh-!? What are you doing nya~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?」
Uliminus’ scream echoed all the way while being dragged by Gozaru.
「Fu~mu , Bireri, what is that?」
「Ah, Slape-sama~, everyone seemed to be having fun on a sled~, so I thought it would be a good idea to borrow one from the store there~」, said Bireri as she sat on the sled with Risley on her lap.
「Fumufumufumu… Then? Are you having fun?”
Bireri was smiling while sitting on the sled, but nothing special seemed to be happening.
No matter how he looked at it, nothing seemed to be happening while she was sitting on the sled.
Slape, surprised by that, looked around.
「Kya~!」
Then, he could see a group of children with a sled identical to Bireri’s using it happily to slide down the slope.
「Fumufumufumu Bireri, Risley, it seems that it is not enough to just sit on it」
「Huh? Is that so? 」
「Good, good, just leave it to me!」, said Slape as he changed to his horse form.
Slape had only partially returned to his original form of Horse of Dead. He had only returned his lower part to his original horse form while maintaining his upper part in human form, in other words, he had adopted a form similar to that of the so-called centaurs.
If it were a normal Person or Demi-Human, he would surely not have been able to move because of all the snow that covered his legs, however, Slape, a Demon, had no problem breaking through the snow after return his lower part to its original form.
After changing his appearance, Slape took the rope that was tied to the sled and said, 「Alright, make sure you hold on tight, understand?」, as he started running up the hill.
「Kya~!」
「Da~!」
The sled, pulled with a considerable strength, glides smoothly over the snow.
The pair that was riding the sled, Bireri and Risley, let out a smile as they shouted happily over the sled.
Seeing that, Slape smiled to himself satisfied.
… Umu, umu, umu! If you both like it this much, then I will strive for you to continue enjoying it!
Slape gradually began to increase his speed while thinking that.
In human terms, he would be an old man of 70 years, however, right now, he was enjoying his life to the fullest.
「Let’s go~!」
「Kya~!」
「Da~!」
Then, from the top of the slope, the pair began to slide down the slope.
Bireri and Risley, who were commented on the sled, let out a cheerful scream as they glided down the slope.
Slape on the other hand looked at the pair with a smile on his face as he raised his thumb in their direction from the place where he was standing.
Then,
Someone pulled Slape’s leg.
「Um? What happen?」
Slape turned around to see who was behind him.
However, when he did, he saw no one.
「… no one?」
The moment Slape wondered that, he felt like someone was pulling his leg again.
「Um?… Aah, Garyl!」
Slape looked at his paws and noticed that Garyl was there, pulling one of them.
「What happen? Do you need me for something?」
In response to Slape’s question, who asked thet that with a smile on his face, Garyl babbled, 「Da!」, While pointing at Slape’s back.
「Do you want me to let you go up?」
Garyl nodded with a smile on his face in response to Slape’s question.
「Umu umu umu, alright, leave it to me… or that’s what I would like to say, but it is very dangerous to let you ride on my back alone」
Then, Slape called Furio, who was nearby, and told him to ride on him with to Garyl.
「Sorry about this, I didn’t expect Garyl to ask you something like this」
「No, no, no, it’s not the big deal」, said Slape as he walked slowly over the snow to where Bireri and the others were.
Garyl, who was riding on his back, was happily waving his hands, while being held by Furio.
「I know, I know! Garyl, are you having fun?」
「Da!」, cheerfully babble Garyl in response to Slape’s question.
Seeing that, Slape smiled as he nodded satisfied.
Then someone pulled his shoulder.
「What happen?」
When he turned around, he saw Hiya, the Majin of Light and Darkness, (Omitted), who was watching him with a smile on her face while holding a sled.
「… What happen? It won’t be that you want me to pull that sled…?」
「… It’s for the sake of my training…」
「You can climb the slope by yourself, can’t you?」
「It’s a practice to understand how it feels when the wind hits me while I’m pulled by someone else」
「… Does it really have to be me?」
「Yes」
After that, Slape finally ended up pulling Bireri’s sled back to take them back to the top of the slope.
Then, once there, he climbed into the sleigh next to Bireri and Risley and slid down the slope with to them,
「Kya~!」
「Da~!」
「… This feels good」
The three who rode the sled had a cheerful look on their faces.
「Oh dear, it was much more fun than I thought」, said Slape with a smile on his face, at the same time he felt like someone was pulling his leg again, at which point he quickly turned around to see who it was.
Then,
「Da~!」
He saw Elizabeth, who was pulling his leg while pointing at the sled Lys was holding.
「Sorry Slape. Elizabeth also wants to slide on the sled」
「Ah? You shouldn’t have any problem doing something like this yourself, isn’t it, Lys?」
「You don’t understand, she has been saying,「I want Mr. Horse to do it!」, Or that’s what I think she’s been trying to say with her babble」
Elizabeth, who was standing in front of Lys, stared at Slape with a look full of expectations.
Slape, who noticed that look,
「Umu, umu, I guess it can’t be helped, very well, I will do it. Lys, get on with Elizabeth」
Slape said as he took the sled rope.
Elizabeth, with a cheerful look on her face, climbed into the sled while waving her arms in the direction of Lys, as if trying to tell her, 「Quick, fast!」.
Seeing that, Slape nodded satisfied.
Then Slape began to walk while pulling the sled rope.
「… Excuse me, would you give me a moment?」
An unknown parent said with his son as they stood in front of Slape.
「Um? You’re talking to me?」
Slape said as he addressed the Father and Son with a faded look.
「Errrm… If you agree, I was wondering if you would be willing to, well…」, said the Father as he lifted the sled he held in his hands.
「Ah?」
Slape inclined his head perplexed at the moment when someone outside his family asked him that.
Then, when he looked more carefully, he noticed that there were many other parents and children who seemed to be looking at him with the same intentions.
「No, no, no, this is something I’m just doing for my family」
Slape said with a complicated look.
However, at that time,
「Alright here, here is the reception nya. Those who want their turn nya, line up here nya. The price is this nya」
Uliminus quickly intervened with a sign that said 「Reception」 handwritten as she began charging a fee.
「Hey Hey hey!? What do you think you are doing, Uliminus!?」
「Umu, just leave it to my nya, I have a lot of confidence in my abilities for this kind of thing nya」
「No no no! I did not mean that!」
At the end, Slape was forced to take other people’s sledges to the top of the slope until the end of the day.
◇◇ DEEP IN A CERTAIN FOREST ◇◇
「Don’t you know you shouldn’t get into other people’s affairs? Now I’m busy, so disappears」, said Valentine as she looked at the Blond Hero.
In response to that, the Blond Hero frowned and said, 「What are you talking about !? You are the one who put her hands on my follower first!」, while pointing at Ririanju.
Hearing those words, Valentine frowned.
「Aah? This thing is my Familiar, you know that? Isn’t that right, Ririanju? I wonder, could it be that you have fallen so low as to feel some sympathy for this human?」, said Valentine as she whipped Ririanju against the ground at the moment when she noticed that she was starting to lose consciousness.
Then, Valentine kicked Ririanju’s body lying on the floor. Immediately afterwards, she turned to the Blond Hero and began to walk towards him.
「Now, I wonder how a small-fry like you thinks to face this Valentine-sama?」, said Valentine while generating a lot of threads, similar to those she had used to grab Ririanju’s neck.
「Please make sure you regret your own foolishness in the other world」
Immediately after that, Valentine’s threads began to wrap around the neck of the Blond Hero.
But then, Valentine,
「Ah!?」
fell into a hole that the Blond Hero had dug in front of him.
Valentine, who had not yet managed to recover the magical power she had to consume to come to this world, disappeared deep into the hole.
NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
