Chapter 22: His Expectations

Night, in the heart of the city.

I stand at the top of a tower hundreds of meters high, staring intently at the rooftop of a certain building.

There, two girls, Luna and Christina, are talking, and Luna’s face is painted with despair.

“……”

I don’t particularly express any feelings, just quietly watch the scene.

When watching a fairly good piece of work, I chat and laugh with friends, but when watching an overwhelming masterpiece, I enjoy it in silence, right? It’s like that.

And now, the scene is reaching its climax.

Christina pushes Luna off the building.

At that moment, Christina comes to her senses.

“No… No! Why… Luna!”

Her face is filled with despair and regret, and even though she knows she can’t reach her, she desperately stretches out her hand.

Ah… This is good…!

The pleasant night breeze in the quiet night… and the despair of the two magical girls… Tonight, I am in the best mood.

Normally, I would want to go home and savor this feeling slowly in bed… but, well, that will have to wait until after I finish this job.

I can’t let her die… I still need to enjoy more of this despair.

‘…Is your time of enjoyment over?’

“Oh, thanks. For keeping quiet.”

“I’ve gotten used to you… But more importantly, I sense the magic power of a demon from that girl… And that reaction is from one of the Seven Demon Emperors.”

“Ah, it’s probably Selek of the Seven Demon Emperors.”

“I see, that sounds like fun.”

“We can handle it, partner.”

“Yeah, let’s show them that they don’t even come close to us.”

I created a mask from miasma and put it on.

“…Shall we go?”

I headed towards Luna, falling from the tower at supersonic speed.

“Kufufu, shall we begin?”

As soon as Selek moved his fingers slightly, Omega saw the movement and dodged something with minimal movement.

Immediately after, steel threads shining black in the night cut through the space where we had been just moments before.

“Oh, quite sharp…”

“Steel threads… Quite interesting…”

“Kufufu, it’s a bit of a hobby of mine… The threads are highly poisonous, so even you would find it difficult to protect her if you touch them.”

“If they hit.”

“Oh… It’s just a game, but shall I get a bit serious?”

This time, he moved all the fingers on both hands intricately, and multiple slashes from the steel threads attacked Omega.

But not a single one hit Omega, who dodged everything with minimal, graceful movements while holding me.

(Amazing…!)

Being held by Omega, my heart was pounding the whole time.

Even though we were being attacked by instant-death strikes, I was certain that being held by Omega was the safest and most secure place in the world right now.

But because Omega was protecting me———

“Omega, if I’m in the way, put me down!”

“Heh, I told you before. You’re as light as an angel’s feather. This is no hindrance at all.”

Those words made my heart pound even louder.

…Oh no… At this rate, he’ll find out…

I blushed, embarrassed that Omega might notice my pounding heart.

“Kufufu, chatting happily while dodging my attacks… You seem quite at ease!”

Immediately, steel threads intertwined like a net surrounded us.

“So, what will you do, Omega? There’s no escape.”

“Hmph, ridiculous. If there’s no way out, I’ll make one.”

Omega swung his hand down towards the approaching steel threads, easily slicing through them.

“Kufufu, as expected of Omega… You exceed my expectations. This should be enjoyable.”

“Still want to continue?”

“Of course, I’ve been looking forward to fighting you. But I must also do my job properly…”

The moment Selek muttered that, a void appeared behind him. From there, demons began to emerge one after another, a total of five demons appeared.

Each one of them, though not as powerful as Selek, possessed tremendous power.

“All of these here are high-ranking demons awaiting their titles. Let’s leave the annihilation of the city center to them. What will you do, Omega? Me or the five high-ranking demons?”

“……”

Without answering, Omega slowly descended to the rooftop of the building and gently set me down.

Though I felt a lingering desire to stay in Omega’s arms a little longer, I told myself not to be a burden to him.

Then Omega approached me and said in a voice that resonated in the abyss,

“…Leave it to you.”

As he passed by me, Omega headed towards Selek.

“I’ll be your opponent.”

“Kufufu, I thought so, Omega. Let’s have an enjoyable fight.”

I… will face these five…

In the past, we had been defeated by these high-ranking demons many times. Honestly, I’m scared… But Omega probably took on the more dangerous Seven Demon Emperor.

Then I too…!

“Yes… Leave it to me…!”

I replied to his back.

I will never betray his expectations!
