“Get your filthy feet off her! You pig bastard!”
I burst out of the bushes and slammed Henwen with the Shield of Evalach, shouting at the top of my lungs.
But sadly, with my pathetic physical attack power, it was like a mosquito bite to Henwen. Damn it.
But.
“!? Bweeheehee!?”
Alexandra and Monica, following my lead, attacked simultaneously, causing Henwen to contort her face in pain, lift the foreleg that was stomping on Caspary, and retreat.
“…Prince Harold. What you did was not courage, but recklessness, you know?”
Alexandra, standing next to me with her sword at the ready, cast a cold gaze.
She’s right, what I did was reckless and foolish. Especially since I don’t have much skill.
But, I really wanted the Jet-Black Shield Caspary… or rather, I really wanted to help this little black cat Demon Beast.
Because I, Harold, also knew what it was like to feel powerless and frustrated.
Haa… Alexandra is probably facepalming at me in her heart…
Maybe, even if we make it back to the Royal Capital safely, our engagement will be broken off immediately. This is a huge pinch. What should I do…?
“Fufu…”
Alexandra chuckled.
“Um, well…”
“Really, Prince Harold, you are hopeless. Hopelessly clumsy and kind. But… I find that very endearing.”
Her unexpected words made my face flush.
I thought I was going to be scolded or disillusioned, but this is a total surprise attack.
“Haa… To serve someone like you for the rest of my life, it seems like the hardships will never end.”
Monica, standing on the opposite side of me from Alexandra, pressed her temple in an exaggerated manner and shook her head.
“In that case, when we return to the Royal Capital, I must ask for my salary to be doubled.”
“Ah, haha… I’ll do my best.”
Mo, Monica doesn’t get that much salary, does she? I can only hope that the budget allocated to me is enough.
“Ah…”
“Caspary. Let’s defeat that pig bastard together. That’s the one who killed your mother, right?”
“Aaaaaaaaaah…!”
I picked up the wounded Caspary, smiled, and large tears welled up in her golden eyes.
The little black cat Demon Beast, who had been biding her time, unable to rely on anyone after her mother’s life was taken, wiped away her tears with her forepaw.
“Alright, let’s go! From here on out, it’s our turn!”
“Yeah!”
I charged forward with the Shield of Evalach, still holding Caspary.
For me, the weakest one here, to do such a thing is truly suicidal.
But.
“Bwehhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
I blocked Henwen’s furious foreleg attacks with my shield.
Being a giant sow, each attack is incredibly powerful, but her movements are incomparably slower than Alexandra’s.
Even though it’s only about thirty percent, I can defend against her sword strikes. If I don’t let my guard down, I can block them.
In that gap.
“!? Pgyuuuuuuuuuu!?”
“Too slow.”
“Indeed.”
Alexandra and Monica unleashed a barrage of attacks ten times more intense than their first, slamming into the flabby giant body, and red blood spurted from Henwen’s body.
“Pgyaaaaaaa!”
Henwen, enraged, charged forward.
“Like I’ll let you!”
I jumped between the two of them and Henwen, gritting my teeth and blocking with the Shield of Evalach.
But.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
Unfortunately, my weak body couldn’t withstand Henwen’s massive form, and I was sent flying.
Still, I managed to buy enough time for the two of them to evade the charge, so that’s what matters.
“Prince Harold!”
While Monica repeatedly harassed her, Alexandra rushed to my side with a pale face.
I said I would protect my precious fiancée and myself, but I’m pathetic for making her worry so much.
“Ugh… Ugh… Yeah, after all, it’s hard to handle her with just the Shield of Evalach…”
If I’m just defending, Henwen is nothing thanks to my Special Training with Alexandra.
But, I don’t have the stamina to withstand the weight of each blow, so at least with this shield, I can’t defend completely.
If only I had the Jet-Black Shield Caspary, which is also a Dark Attribute…
“U, um… Human…”
“…I’m Harold. My name isn’t ‘Human’.”
I raised the corner of my mouth and jokingly retorted to Caspary, who apologetically licked my face.
Seriously… Making a human like me feel this way, don’t you think you’re a little lacking in awareness as a Demon Beast?
But, Caspary aside, I can’t let my precious fiancée make such a face.
So.
“Hey… Where is the Jet-Black Shield Caspary?”
