“Chapter 173: The Demon Hunter Knight”

×××

After returning from the demon world, Mumuruu and I made a visit to the sage’s palace.

– You want me to tell you about the knight that killed Raigoh?

– Yes.

All of us together were barely able to scrape the Red Demon guardian. Yet a single knight finished him off in a matter of seconds.

– I already told you. It’s an adventurer.

– Yes, you did. By the way, the demon king said they’ll be extending their gratitude for that.

Ever’s eyes widened.

– …What did you just… Gratitude? From who?

– The demon king.

– You know the demon king!?

– Yes. I can’t tell you the details, though.

Not that I know said details about that “gratitude”.

Tilchina and Kouya just want to live a peaceful life without the humans interfering.

Kouya asked me to do some behind-the-scenes work, so here I am.

I’m able to play both sides of the coin, and only the demon side knows about it.

– Hmmm… Ah, well, no one told me to keep it a secret anyways.

– The demon king said that they have no intentions of attacking the human world. I fully believe we can trust their word.

– How… close are you with them!? You’re amazing.

Ever took out a copy of a “Quest petition” from a shelf.

Raviola, the princess descendant from the family that built this city from scratch after the meteorite destroyed everything.

Also the knight that defeated Raigoh in the blink of an eye.

– You can call me whatever you want. Just don’t wall me “Princess Knight”. It’s embarassing.

She really gives off the impression of a dignified high-hierarchy family.

– Raviola-sama, that sword…

– It’s my family’s treasure, Seventh Fall. A stellar sword specialized in exterminating demons. I used it to kill Raigoh, one of the Four Fiendish Guardians of the demon world.

Stellar. A title given to weapons worthy of Level VIII feats, far stronger than holy swords. The only gear that could face a stellar weapon is divine equipment, said to be as strong as Level IX. To this day it is still doubted whether divine accessories are a myth or if they actually exist.

– Could you please show me the blade?

– Why? I don’t see any need for that.

– It’s my first time finding a stellar sword. I’d like to see it with my own skilled eyes.

I could get some very valuable information out of this.

– Raviola-sama, with all due respect, Takaya will be the one to take care of Seventh Fall’s maintenance one day.

– Hmm… You’re right.

Rizerotta winked at me. I don’t think she’s aware of my true intentions, but she definitely helped me out.

Just as Raviola was about to unsheath her sword-

– Don’t do it, princess! How can you show the stellar sword to a person like that!?

– Uhh, excuse me? (Takaya)

– We don’t need you here. You can go back to where you came from.

A girl with similar features to me stood in front of Raviola.
