To Me, Who Was Single-Handedly Holding The Front Line, You Call Me A "Useless Piece of Trash"? Fine. I'll Live as I Please And Set Out On A Journey To Find A Cute Wife. - This time, I'll Become A Hero In The Enemy Country And Bare My Fangs At My Homeland - Episode 30

Mr. Yamagishi stood alone among the corpses, holding a giant sword in one hand.

Even the battle-hardened knights are in awe and whispering in fear, but to me, it looks sorrowful.

I want to set him free soon.

Please wait.

The commander of the Land Knights listened to my thoughts until the end.

And then, unbelievably, they said they would comply with everything.

Normally, that would be impossible. A mere knight commander would never entrust command to an ordinary adventurer like me.

Yet, I am trying to put them in danger.

Even so, I didn’t want to entrust Mr. Yamagishi to anyone else.

And I too have made up my mind.

All preparations are complete, and I walk slowly forward, alone.

From Mr. Yamagishi’s body, magical power is overflowing to the extent that it can be visualized.

It is as if it were a dark magic that confuses itself with murderous intent.

The scope is extremely broad.

If I touch him even a little, he will notice.

So――.

“Ice, gather! Leap, freeze, stop!”

I raised my palm towards the sky.

Far above, the ice fragments continue to increase, forming into a single mass.

“Wow… why doesn’t my magic power run out?”

“Is it possible to do something like this?”

“……Beautiful.”

The reason I can handle magic with confidence is thanks to Mr. Yamagishi.

So, please don’t worry.

Let’s go home together.

“Now!”

At the same time as my scream, ice magic descends upon Yamagishi-san.

At the same time, Arne and the others dashed to the left and right.

In front, the Land Knight Commander, Elina-san, and Bory-san are running.

Mr. Yamagishi stood still, brandishing his giant sword.

When he swings his arm back dramatically, a slash of air is unleashed towards the sky, shattering all the ice.

Mr. Yamagishi can’t use magic.

Yet, to think that it could destroy ice magic with just wind pressure――.

“Commander of the Land Knights, Elina, when the slash comes flying, your hair!”

The moment Mr. Bory shouted, Mr. Yamagishi turned forward with a smile and swung his sword once more on the spot.

As before, a sharp blade of air with tremendous power is unleashed.

“――Ugh”

“What a”

The Land Knight Commander, Elena, and Bory manage to block with the flat of their swords, but even that is not enough to prevent their bodies from being pushed back significantly. Seeing this, Yamagishi rushes forward to deliver a follow-up attack.

However, at that moment, Arne and the others threw several ice knives at Yamagishi.

Normally, it’s a timing that can’t be avoided.

Despite that, Mr. Yamagishi kicked the ground hard while spinning.

“— Soil, for defense?”

It’s no wonder Arne was surprised; he kicked up the dirt and scattered it, catching all the knives.

Terrifyingly quick-witted.

But――the operation was a success.

“Leave the rest to me! Fern!!”

“— Yes!”

I was asking the wind spirit to let me fly a little in the sky.

Thanks to being carried by Manbiki-san and becoming transparent, Yamagishi-san probably noticed it late too.

Even so, Yamagishi-san turns to face me and launches a wind slash from a distance.

However, it will be defended by the ice shield that was deployed in advance.

Because I entered Yamagishi-san’s range, my magical power swelled to an astonishing degree.

Murderous intent and hatred. My whole body is covered in goosebumps.

Even so, I remember.

Gentle, Yamagishi-san at the park.

――”Sorry if I hurt you.”

Mr. Yamagishi is now in a state close to unconsciousness.

Since numerous attacks have been unleashed, they should choose the attack that allows them to move most freely.

Surely, it’s just like “that time.”

Without missing a beat, Mr. Yamagishi readied his giant sword.

“Now!”

I concentrated all my magical power and deployed a defense to the right.

Furthermore, everyone will send magic from a distance to enhance the defensive magic.

The ice shield is strengthened thanks to everyone present here.

And in the next moment, the sound of shattering glass echoed through the area, and fragments of magical power scattered everywhere.

“— Next!”

Mr. Yamagishi spins his body without missing a beat. He attacks from the left without losing momentum—he should.

In the park, he helped me regain my confidence.

There’s no way I could forget. ――I remember.

Once again, the left side. Although the defense somehow succeeded, almost all of my magical power vanished with just this.

Finally, I gather the surrounding magical energy and unleash a powerful spell head-on.

But I understand. I remember. I know.

Mr. Yamagishi drew his sword on the spot.

And then, with just a single strike, they shattered my full-powered magic cannon.

Incredible power. How can you be so… strong?

How much strength are you always holding back?

But, it’s my… win.

“Yamagishi-san!!!!!!!”

I hugged Yamagishi-san tightly.

The moment I tried to neutralize the magical power, a severe pain struck my entire body.

The murderous intent, the malice, and the magic filled with all the darkness of this world seep into my body.

He was in such a painful world.

Mr. Yamagishi, Mr. Yamagishi,――I won’t leave you alone.

Please, remember me as I was――.

And then――.

“…Hmm, is that Fern?”

He looked at me with a dazed expression, as if he had just woken up.

Then, looking around, I tilt my head.

A cat-like friendly face, the curse marks are fading. The hair is returning.

Ah, I’m glad. I’m happy.

However, at that moment, the corpse of the Death Creature, the Murder Spider, lying beneath Mr. Yamagishi, twitched.

Monsters may attack enemies with residual magical power after death.

Mr. Yamagishi couldn’t move due to the neutralization of his magical power. Then, his legs moved and sharply targeted him.

“Yamagishi-san!”

I hurriedly stepped in and tried to protect.

However, it stopped in mid-air before that.

The sound of magic crackling was heard, and what appeared was Manbiki-san, sword drawn.

In the end, it was transparency that protected us.

“That was close. Phew… For now, let’s get out of here… I’m out of magic power…”

I collapsed on the spot and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a sigh.

And finally, Mr. Yamagishi’s eyes return to normal.

“Hey, Fern, what’s wrong? Why are you so close?”

“Because Yamagishi-san is a late riser. Let’s hurry… and go home. I’ll make sandwiches.”

“Oh, it’s over, huh? Yeah, that’s right. Fern’s cooking is delicious. I’m looking forward to it.”

“Hehe, I’m so happy.”
