◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Whether it was the doppelganger who judged it was better to capture Ambassador Viral in that short time.

Or the Royal Knights members who easily rescued Ambassador Viral in the midst of that.

Was this level of fighting for real?

It really made my heart swell with emotion.

If only I wasn’t there.

Right now, I was feeling a tremendous burden like a new recruit who had entered a 2-week standby.

Anyway, for 2 weeks, they absolutely didn’t touch you.

They didn’t even make you work.

So while the seniors worked hard, the new recruit would just quietly watch from behind.

That was the feeling I had.

The doppelganger, or more precisely, the leader of the doppelgangers, kept up the offensive without rest.

The horror of invisible tentacles springing up from the floor was beyond imagination.

The only reason I could avoid the tentacles was purely thanks to time stop.

Seeing the tentacles sprout from the spot where I was standing with zero error, I got goosebumps.

If I had stayed still in that spot, the tentacles would have pierced through me from bottom to top.

I glanced around.

The other members were avoiding it with ease.

Rather, some of them were even counterattacking.

As expected of the Royal Knights!

I believed in you! Damn it!

It seemed this would be settled on its own even if I didn’t bother to step in.

“…It’s an unbelievable monster.”

“Demons are originally such beings.”

“I’ve finally realized it.”

Thanks to that, I had now stepped back and was talking to Ambassador Viral.

Of course, I had an excuse.

I was under the pretext of guarding Ambassador Viral, the most important person.

Shrieeeek!!

The doppelganger spewed out tentacles with an eerie noise, flying like bullets.

At the same time, the world turned gray.

Time had stopped once again.

I clicked my tongue.

The fact that time stopped automatically meant, in other words, I would have died if I had stayed still.

And in fact, the doppelganger’s tentacles were in a stopped state right in front of my eyes.

I quickly drew my sword and swung it toward the tentacles.

Perhaps because it was a sword blessed by the elves.

Although it was a bit tough, I somehow managed to cut them off and time flowed on.

Perhaps that attack just now was the doppelganger’s secret weapon.

I felt its movements were greatly startled.

And it wasn’t just the doppelganger, the Royal Knights members were also surprised.

“Wh-What the hell was that attack just now?!”

“It means we couldn’t react to it!”

“Don’t worry! The commander is over there!”

“We just need to do our own job!”

“…”

Commander Yuren and Cluna encouraged the members and attacked even more fiercely.

As expected, that tentacle attack was a secret weapon.

I inadvertently ended up blocking a secret weapon.

Bayard roared and thrust her fist.

Under her overwhelming strength, the doppelganger’s body literally crumpled like a can.

With its body half-shattered, it retreated for now.

We couldn’t let it retreat like that.

So I ordered the members to pursue it.

They would have pursued immediately If it weren’t for the small monsters summoned by the doppelganger.

“Using meaningless tricks to buy time!!”

“Everyone, go ahead first. I’ll handle that thing alone.”

“Teacher…!!”

“Yuren, Cluna. I’m counting on you to protect Helia.”

“Leave it to me.”

“I will definitely protect her.”

I sent the members ahead and stayed behind alone.

To guard Ambassador Viral.

To be more honest, I felt I couldn’t just stay still like this.

When everyone else was working, try spacing out alone.

There was nothing more burdensome and maddening than that.

But that didn’t mean I had any intention of showing off in the front.

They say it’s a big deal when an incompetent person is diligent.

So, I just need to face an opponent matching my level.

For example, the slime-like thing wriggling in front of me right now.

“What on earth is that? It doesn’t look that strong.”

“Don’t let your guard down. There’s a reason they left it behind and left.”

“You’re right.”

No, you’re the one who’s right.

Although I said that, no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like nothing more than a slime-like small fry.

So I stayed behind personally.

To indulge myself…!!

I could also appeal that I did my job to some extent.

And I could protect Ambassador Viral as well.

It was truly killing two birds with one stone, eating the pheasant and getting the eggs.

It could be said to be catching a crayfish after digging a ditch.

For a very brief moment, I thought so.

A piercing noise struck my ears.

The moment I thought that, I saw it.

The sharp awl that had appeared right in front of me.

It was something the slime had directly created and sent out.

It was similar to the attack the doppelganger had done earlier.

With one difference, while the doppelganger’s attack was just one.

The awls that had come in front of me now numbered at least dozens.

Cutting all of them would make the cooldown too long.

So I quickly picked up Ambassador Viral and got out of there.

Kwajik!

Kwaaaang!

Tremendous explosive sounds struck my back.

If I hadn’t evacuated quickly.

By now, Ambassador Viral and I would have become a wind hole with blood and wind dripping from it.

While feeling relieved inwardly, I frowned.

“Wh-What on earth was that just now?!”

Perhaps he didn’t expect such an attack to come from a slime that looked so trivial.

Ambassador Viral spoke in a panicked voice.

But sadly, I couldn’t give an answer.

Because I didn’t know what that was either.

Outwardly, it looked like a slime no matter how you looked at it.

The problem was that slimes were not magical beasts.

Slimes were one of the fairies living with elves in the forest.

So when the doppelganger first spat out a slime, I was puzzled as to why it spat out such a thing.

But I could tell one thing for sure.

That was definitely not the slime I knew.

“What a pity. I was trying to kill at least one of you while I had the chance.”

“What the hell are you?”

“Me? A loyal subordinate of the chief.”

“…”

The slime eventually regained its form.

But that form was different from the chief.

While the chief’s form was crumbling, it had a form similar to a human.

If I had to specify.

It was similar to the appearance of a boy.

The more I looked at that appearance, the more I got a bad feeling.

It said it was a loyal subordinate of the chief.

But why did the subordinate look stronger than the chief?

“As expected, even the remnants of the Royal Knights are threatening. Especially you, the new commander, are the most threatening.”

“So?”

“So I’m trying to kill you. You knew that and stayed here too, didn’t you? Right?”

“…”

No, I didn’t.

Of course, I stayed behind thinking it was a small fry.

I thought it was easy prey, but it turned out to be the final boss?!

Save me.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Although she was greatly weakened now, it was said.

Yuren was a dragon, after all.

Naturally, discerning the strength of the enemy was a piece of cake for her.

So she noticed that the squishy thing was stronger than the one who called itself the chief.

At first, she had intended to face it herself.

Because she didn’t want to burden the others anymore.

But soon, her eyes met his.

Her new commander.

Hans, that is.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward first.

And he confidently drew his sword and pointed it at that thing.

From that sight, Yuren immediately realized.

I, as the commander, will face it myself.

You guys do your own job.

That was what he was saying now.

Yuren turned her head.

Cluna also nodded at her while looking at herself.

Realizing the commander’s intention, they ran forward.

And Clara, Ruby, and Bayard also followed behind them in the same way.

Even without saying it out loud, they could sufficiently read the movements and proceed.

“What the hell is that? It looks super weak!”

“Clara, judging by appearances alone is a bad habit.”

“Eh?! Is that so?!”

“That’s right. That’s probably the real one.”

Although it may not be a True Demon-level like the one they faced before.

It must certainly be a fairly powerful one among the Blood Demons.

Normally, either Cluna or herself should have stayed behind.

But the commander refused.

The reason was probably because of the human girl following behind.

Yuren glanced back at the tiny girl running together from behind.

She seemed to be struggling to keep up, panting for breath, but she was gritting her teeth and somehow trying to match the pace.

At that young age.

She had something beyond overwhelming talent.

Knowing that, was that why the commander was treating that child so well?

If so, I’m a dragon too, but-

Yuren, whose thoughts had reached that far, hurriedly shook off the thought that had just occurred to her.

I’m so pathetic too.

To think I would feel jealous of such a young human child.

I don’t want to become any more ugly here.

Besides, he’s a human and I’m a dragon, right?

Countless idle thoughts came to mind.

“Miss Yuren. I see a doppelganger over there.”

“R-Right. I’ll subdue it right away.”

“As expected, Yuren is dependable!”

“There’s a reason she was the former commander!”

At the sudden voices from behind, Yuren ran forward with a start.

It was certainly a secret that the desire to not let anyone notice the flush on her face was taking precedence.

“…”

Except for Helia, who had a smile on her lips but her eyes were deadly cold.

Not a single person noticed Yuren’s blush.
