Not that I'm an amazing person to begin with, but still…

Think about it.

Wasn't it painful for her to always stay in her room?

Even now, I still remember my first moment in this world. I had just arrived when Modes, standing in front of me, asked me to fight Reiji.

What would have happened if I had rejected his request back then?

Maybe I would still be running away from Reiji.

That kind of life might have been more peaceful, and even suited me better. But, I wouldn't have been able to meet Kuna… I'm glad that I decided to fight at that time.

There was nothing wrong with avoiding the fight.

I might lose if I fight, and only painful things await a loser, heck, I might even die.

I’d never lose if I just keep running away and hide where nobody can find me.

But, doing that would remove the possibility of my victory too.

Surely, I have to avoid fights that have no reason behind them, but running with my tail between my legs from a fight I can’t avoid is even worse than a loss.

Alphos' harem might laugh even louder if they see me escape this fight.

If I had refused Alphos' challenge, we might have avoided this battle. But, it would’ve been uncool.

Thus, I decided to accept the challenge.

I couldn't show my unsightly figure in front of Polen.

「HOW PERSISTENT! JUST DIE ALREADY!!」

Alphos' sword came toward me again. It seems he was slightly impatient.

「BE DEFEATE―――ED！！！！」

I parried Alphos blow which had long since lost its elegance.

AS IF, I'M GOING TO LO――――SE!!!!!!!!!!

It might be impossible, but let's see how far I can endure his attacks.

I was now completely absorbed in my defense mode.

◆Princess of Hell; Polen

Above the sky dyed in an  aurora, the Holy Knight, Alphos-sama, and the Dark Knight, Master Kuroki, were fighting. We had a good vantage point from the ship we were on as we could see them fight below us.

Looking at the situation, Master Kuroki was clearly being cornered.

Master Kuroki had somehow managed to dodge or parry Alphos-sama's sword, but it was only a matter of time before he got defeated.

「Look at tha~t, so unsightly~. Pupupu.」

「This is what happens when you fight Alphos-sama~. The likes of the Dark Knight should know their place.」

「What a stupid man. Does he really think that he can defeat Alphos-sama?」

「What a miserable man. He looks just like a vermin in the garden. The exact opposite of Alphos-sama~.」

「Now that you said it, he does look like a vermin. Kyahahaha~.」

「Alphos-sama! Beat that vermin already!!」

「Kick his a*s, Alphos-sama!!!」

The beauties' laughs became even merrier seeing Master Kuroki trying desperately to escape from Alphos-sama's slashes.

「Awawawa, Your Highness. His Excellency… His Excellency is going to lose.」

Poh-chan who sat beside me spoke with an anxious voice.

But, I was the most anxious one here.

I couldn't even hold back my tears anymore.

But, I couldn't do anything to save Master Kuroki.

「MASTER KUROKI! BEAT HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!」

Thus I did the only thing I could do for him, which was to cheer for him.

I don't know whether my cheering will reach Master Kuroki or not. But, that was the only thing I could do for him.

Kuna-shishou, who sat by my side, had been looking at the fight in silence since a while ago.

She had this grim look on her face.

Even Glorious who was resting to heal his wounds was looking at the fight.

「You people, tell me, how do you feel right now? How does it feel to see your Dark Knight lose?」

The beauties were approaching us with victorious smiles on their faces.

They're completely looking down on us.

I unintentionally glared at them.

「What's with that look, piggy?」

「Kya~. That piggy is glaring at me~.Too bad for you though, Alphos-sama will definitely save us. We fear nothing~.」

「Yeah. Your turn will come after Alphos-sama beats that Dark Knight. That dragon over there isn't scary at all.」

「You pig should just growl like a pig. That Silver-Haired girl aside, an ugly pig like you won't be able to beat us.」

「Yeah. Take a look. The UN☆SIGHT☆LY figure of the Dark Knight who’s protecting the piggy.」

「Piggy's knight isn't a big deal after all. Even though his face can't be seen due to the helmet, I'm sure that he's as ugly as a sewer rat.」

「Yup, must be really ugly. He's from the ugly piggy's side after all.」

The beauties kept jeering at us.

It was mortifying.

Not only were they slandering me, they were even slandering Master Kuroki! Master Kuroki was by no means ugly.

Surely, he wasn't as gaudy as Alphos. Maybe he wouldn't even stand out in a place filled with handsome men and beauties like in Elios. But, that was only because he was less conspicuous. In terms of appearance, he wouldn't lose to any of them. He might look plain at a glance, but you'll realize that he was actually a handsome man upon looking carefully.

And most of all, he was also a gentleman who was really kind to someone like me.

That's why Master Kuroki was the best man in my heart. He absolutely wouldn't lose to anyone.

「UUUH… Master Kuroki won't lose… Absolutely」

I desperately tried to talk back to the beauties.

「Hah, what's this pig talking about? There's no way that Dark Knight can win against Alphos-sama.」

「Yeah. Look at him swinging his sword in desperation yet, none of his slash hit Alphos-sama.」

「Yeah, don't waste your breath to cheer him on. The ugly Dark Knight can never defeat the handsome Holy Knight, Alphos.」

「Ri~ght. No matter how much effort the ugly guy puts in, it won't change the fact that he’s ugly~」

「Resistance is futile, just die already.」

The beauties were jeering.

I was really vexed since I couldn't say anything back to them.

They kept jeering as much as they liked.

Kuna-shishou should be vexed by this right?

I looked toward Shishou.

「？」

I was really shocked by what I saw.

Shishou was smiling.

Why did she smile even though master Kuroki was being cornered?

「What a bunch of noisy bitches. Can you shut up for a little bit?」

Shishou revealed a beautiful smile as she spoke.

She was sneering at the beauties.

The beauties who noticed that something was wrong with Shishou's situation seemed to be puzzled too.

「How can you still smile like that, Witch? Your Dark Knight is about to lose.」

Seeing the beauties' expression, Goddess Muse went toward us as she asked such a question.

「Kuroki losing you say? What are you talking about, idiots? Kuroki has already grasped your man's skill. Look, Kuroki's sword has finally reached its target.」

Kuna-shishou replied while pointing toward Master Kuroki.

「What kind of nonsense are you talki—」

And then, when Muse and the beauties looked at the fight again.

「「「「「「「Eh?!」」」」」」」」

The beauties couldn't hide their shock.contemporary romance

Because they saw the figure of Master Kuroki with his sword raised, and in front of him was the figure of Alphos-sama, his back bent backwards.

And the look on Alphos-sama's face was that of shock.

The pure white helmet that was sent flying by Master Kuroki's sword drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell on the crystal floor.

The beauties were starting to get restless.

Because Master Kuroki's slash which couldn't reach Alphos-sama till a while ago had finally reached Alphos-sama.

Seeing that situation, Shishou revealed a smile on her face.

「That Alphos' skill isn't bad. He managed to corner Kuroki so far after all. At least he really is stronger than a certain d*ckhead. But, this is the end. From now on, it's Kuroki's turn.」
