『𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲』 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐭
In the second village Albero and his group visited, no demon appeared.
Then, in the third village, where there was an 80% chance of a demon appearing.
Ridelle was playing ball with the children she had become friends with.
ㅤ
“Nee-chan is amazing!!”
“I know! Only awesome adults can do that!!”
ㅤ
Ridelle skillfully juggled the ball using only her feet.
For Ridelle, leg movements are essential in combat. She practices these precise moves with the ball daily. To the children, it seemed like magic.
Ridelle kicked the ball up and caught it.
ㅤ
“Well. . . . . .like this. What do you think?”
“Amazing!” “Onee-san, teach me too!” “That’s so cool!”
ㅤ
The children flocked around Ridelle, surrounding her.
Ridelle, who had younger siblings, was good with children. More than that, she loved children.
Albero and Kid watched the scene from a distance.
ㅤ
“So peaceful. . . . . .”
“Seriously, I wonder if the demon will really appear.”
“According to the prophecy, there’s an 80% chance it’ll show up here. Even the Student Council seems to be preparing for battle.”
“Yeah. . . . . .but I can’t figure out why they aren’t evacuating the villagers.”
“The demon is supposed to appear tomorrow. Today, they’re packing up and will move to the next village in the afternoon. They don’t want to turn this village into a battlefield. . . . . .Hey, were you even listening?”
“Forgot.”
ㅤ
Kid took out a portable bottle from his pocket and opened it.
Albero recognized the smell.
ㅤ
“You’re drinking alcohol?”
“It’s like fuel for me.”
“Seriously. . . . . .a drunkard.”
“Fortunately, I’ve never been drunk since I got this body.”
ㅤ
Saying that, he tilted the bottle.
Albero felt a bit thirsty too.
ㅤ
“Should I get a drink from Ashe. . . . . .”
“Let’s also grab some snacks.”
“. . . . . .Sounds good.”
ㅤ
The two headed towards the village inn where Ashe and the others were.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
Exhausted from playing, Ridelle and the children were resting under the shade of a tree.
The children had been constantly asking Ridelle questions since earlier.
ㅤ
“Onee-san, you’re a really strong summoner, right?”
“Hmm, maybe.”
“Nee-chan, train me!”
“I can’t. . . . . .I’m still training myself.”
“I want to go on an adventure with nee-chan!”
“Fufu, such a boyish thing to say. Maybe when you’re a bit older.”
“Yay!”
ㅤ
Ridelle was having fun.
She almost forgot about her mission. It was peaceful.
That’s why she let her guard down.
ㅤ
“Onee-san” I’m here to destroy━━surprised?”
“Wh. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
A tan-skinned girl drove her claws into the chest of a boy standing in front of Ridelle.
The boy coughed up blood and his eyes rolled back as he fell.
“Hmm. . . . . .it’s quite a small village. Oh well.”
“W, Why? Hey, hey!!”
“N, Nee-s. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ridelle held the boy in her arms.
He coughed up blood, shed tears, and then became motionless.
ㅤ
“Nooooo!!”
“Mommy!!” “Daddy!!”
ㅤ
The remaining children ran away.
But that was a mistake━━Ridelle screamed.
ㅤ
“───Stoooooooooooooop!!”
ㅤ
But, it was too late.
The brown-skinned girl smirked, opening her mouth wide.
ㅤ
“Gaaah!!”
ㅤ
Flames spewed from her mouth, instantly turning the children to ash.
Without even a death cry, the children left this world in an instant.
The brown-skinned girl───the demon of 『envy』 Bahamut, breathed out embers from her mouth.
ㅤ
“Huh!!. . . . . .Now, the tenth village. How should I destroy it this time?”
“━━You.”
“Hm?───Wha?!”
ㅤ
Thud!! Ridelle’s roundhouse kick aimed to break Bahamut’s neck. However, Bahamut raised her arm to block the kick. The impact was so strong that the ground shattered, and Bahamut’s arm went numb.
ㅤ
“That was━━Hey, not bad.”
“You. . . . . .wny, why? Why did you kill them?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s my job. But you, you’re impressive. If that kick had landed properly, it might have been bad for me.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ridelle’s legs had already transformed into 『Red Queen』.
Armor expanded and steam spouted out. The shape changed, with four 『exhaust ports』 appearing on each leg, eight in total.
Bahamut glanced at Ridelle’s legs, raising an eyebrow.
ㅤ
“Ah, you’re one of 『those』 too, huh? Really, what are you thinking? Stupid, isn’t it?”
“━━Shut up.”
“Hm, are you angry? Oh, don’t worry. You’ll be just like━━”
ㅤ
───Ridelle disappeared in a flash, appearing behind Bahamut.
Immediately, a heel drop thrust into Bahamut’s head.
ㅤ
“Gugh?!”
ㅤ
With a tremendous crash, Bahamut hit the ground, forming a massive crater.
Green blood oozed from Bahamut’s head, which he wiped with a finger and. . . . . .licked.
ㅤ
“Not bad. . . . . .Ah, that hurt.”
“━━I won’t forgive you.”
“Huh? . . . . . .Nice killing intent.”
ㅤ
Ridelle hadn’t realized her opponent was the demon of 『envy』.
However, the children killed before her eyes overlapped with her own younger siblings.
Ridelle felt a boiling rage━━anger surging within her.
ㅤ
“I will never forgive you!! I. . . . . .I’ll knock you down!!”
“Nice, you’re really something. Well then. . . . . .let’s play!!”
ㅤ
Ridelle and Bahamut. Their battle had begun.
