“Hah, hah! I never would have thought you’d think you could defeat me, Senpai!!”
Ota was momentarily shaken by my words, but for some reason, he became assertive again and said something like that.
I was dumbfounded by his ignorant words, but I decided to ask him anyway.
“No, I’m asking you the opposite, why do you think you can beat me?”
“Hah! Isn’t it obvious! It’s because I’m a genius!”
“Hmph. Is that so?”
When I shifted my gaze to the Demon Tribe, they looked frustrated.
Apparently, as I expected, they treated Ota like a genius.
Ota, thinking that the Demon Tribe’s reaction conveyed to me that it was true that he was called a genius, puffed out his chest and said.
“See! Even the Demon Tribe acknowledges that I’m a genius! There’s no way a genius like me could lose!!”
“Haa… you’re really a simple-minded guy.”
“Haa…!?”
What can I say, he has low resistance to taunts.
He gets angry right away if I tease him a little.
“The reason you’re called a genius is a Summoner perk.”
“So, so what! Whatever the circumstances, if it’s something I have, then it’s my power!”
“No, no, that’s not what I’m talking about. Do you think you’re the only one who got the Summoner perk?”
“…Eh?”
Ah, he was so intoxicated with his own growth speed that he completely forgot about that.
“That perk,”
I said, gathering Magic Power and converting it into a Magic Formula.
“I have it too.”
“Ah… ah…”
Ota is reacting like something I saw in an old anime.
Come to think of it, with that line just now, haven’t I become like a villain?
Well, whatever.
“So, because of that, I’m going to have to ask you guys who learned my secret to die.”
Just as I was about to unleash the magic, one of the Demon Tribe shouted loudly.
“W-wait!! You’ll regret it if you kill us now!!”
“Huh? Why?”
“I-I’ll tell you the truth! We’re just a decoy, the main force is somewhere else!”
“Haa!? What’s that!?”
Ota is surprised, not me.
He wasn’t told?
He’s not even trusted by his comrade? The Demon Tribe… Ota, that’s too sad.
“While we’re arguing here, the main force is analyzing the Forest Barrier and has already broken through it! I can stop them! So!”
“Hee. How are you going to stop them?”
“Th-that’s…”
As I thought, it’s just a desperate attempt.
I haven’t heard of anyone in this world achieving long-distance communication other than me.
Ota, sensing my skepticism, spoke to me.
“H-hey. Right now, a separate unit is attacking Senpai’s house, right? Why are you so calm?”
Is that all?
“Ah, I knew the separate unit was moving.”
“What!? You left it alone even knowing that!? You really don’t have any feelings for the Princess-sama, do you! Give her to me!!”
Even at this point, he’s overflowing with lust, this guy is seriously messed up.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just that there’s no need to worry.”
Because.
“There’s someone there I trust the most right now.”
I’d never tell him that because he’d get cocky.
“So, quietly… die.”
“Wa-wai…”
Without listening to the end of Ota’s and the Demon Tribe’s words, I unleashed the magic.
The magic, engulfing the Demon Tribe, scattered shockwaves all around, changing a part of the Forest’s terrain.
I scanned the area with Magic Power detection and found one reaction that bothered me, but I judged that there was no particular problem and turned to face the Weimar soldiers.
“Hii…”
“So, what you heard here is absolutely a secret, okay?”
I said that with a smile, but the Weimar soldiers nodded with pale faces.
I think it’ll be okay with this reaction, but I’ll put a nail in it just in case.
“It’s okay to talk about the Demon Tribe coming and me defeating them, but if you tell anyone what I said, or report it to the Princess-sama… you understand, right?”
At those words, the soldiers shook their heads vertically at high speed.
That should be enough to threaten them.
Well, that’s that for here, I wonder what happened at home?
