"Who the fuck’s that ridiculous looking guy? A friend of yours, Kevin?"
I narrowed my eyes at lina’s words.
"Just focus on repairing the wall. It seems like he’s here to help us, and he’s really strong. His outfit is also pretty cool."
"That’s cool to you?" she deadpanned.
Then, she let out a sigh.
"Whatever... I’m going to repair the wall now."
With that, she went ahead singing that weird tune and repairing the wall as well as the barrier. As for , I just stared ahead at that masked man who at first taunted the demons and was now jumping around and killing each one of them effortlessly.
The way he fought was a little weird... It was almost like he knew the moves of every demon, as well as the Gifts that they’d use. I only saw Amon do sothing like this, but I could never imagine Amon wearing clothes like that.
So while I admired the fight, the wall was eventually fixed. With the finishing touches, she also fixed the barrier.
"Phew. Alright, that’s it for this side. But we’re probably going to need to get out of here, since the demons clearly figured out how to breach the headmaster’s barrier."
"Also, let’s hope that guy’s not so kind of masochist who’s doing this just to get our favor, then kill us later."
I shrugged. Then lina and I turned back, and to our genuine surprise, that sa masked man from before was standing right in front of us, scythe on his back and his arms crossed.
"Well, I am a masochist, but I’m not really here to kill any of you. My na’s Rain, and I’m Amon’s friend, I guess. Nice to et you."
Amon’s friend?
Hearing that, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. If he was really Amon’s friend, then it’s no wonder he was so strong.
Though unlike , lina seed to cling onto the wrong details.
"You’re a masochist? Were you dropped on your head as a child?"
"I fell a couple of tis and cracked my skull, yeah."
"Oho. My alchemist friend is a masochist too, but only because she drank a pain suppressing potion. Still, I’m sure you two would be really great friends. That is, if she’s still alive," lina said.
He let out a chuckle.
"I’d never say no to matchmaking. How big are her breasts?"
"D cup."
"Oooh~! Score!"
...What’s happening here?
"What about her—"
"Could we get serious, please?" I chid in, cutting them off.
Both of them suddenly turned toward and pouted.
"Amon said there’s a killjoy going by the na of Kevin. I take it that’s you?"
Killjoy?
"I’m Kevin."
"Mhm. Good, in that case, he told that you should leave Aldraazan as soon as possible. The demons are soon going to discover the sewer paths under the academy that you take to go outside."
He let out a sigh, then continued:
"I don’t have to tell you what’ll happen once they do. Anyways, Amon sent here to escort you lot through the sewers and out into the mountains where he prepared so shelter for you and the survivors."
The demons are going to find the paths...?
I thought that might be the case, but I really hoped it wasn’t, since half the city had collapsed. The sewers along with it. There were only a couple of paths left, and we’re really lucky one of those paths leads us outside.
But if he’s saying demons are going to find a way in, then everyone here is going to die.
A serious look appeared on my face as I nodded at him.
"I understand. I’ll gather everyone then and we can leave soon."
Rain nodded with a slight smile.
But just then, lina chid in:
"Where’s that bastard Amon anyway? Couldn’t he just co here and snap his finger or sothing and wipe out every single demon here?"
"He’s currently busy preparing for a eting. Basically, he’s training his Telekinesis since he wants to reach the next level in his technique."
His smile widened as he raised his hand and gave us a thumbs up.
"But fear not, I sought him out and he sent here with full confidence."
"Right... Welp, welco aboard. Co with to et Isabelle. She’s a C cup, by the way."
He nodded repeatedly.
"And her waist?"
These two perverts...
I felt like a vein would pop if I stayed here any longer, so I decided to just get a move on.
I walked through the hallway, and as expected, it was really empty because of the explosion earlier. But thankfully, because of that sa explosion, everyone was gathered in the giant auditorium.
At least, that’s how it sounded from outside.
A faint smile appeared on my face that I always wore around people. Then I pushed the door open.
And in that very sa instant, my smile faded.
"Mama! P-Please! Can you hear !?"
"Tsk. Soone shut that brat up already."
A few nobles stood on the stage, brandishing weapons and all sorts of Gifts at everyone else. Behind them were several bundles of food that I had brought back in the morning.
And in front, just on the edge of the stage, was the blind woman I saw earlier. Her daughter stood over her, screaming in her ear, trying to wake up her mother.
But the mother’s neck was already broken.
She was dead.
"Mama! Waaaah!"
None of the commoners even dared to step forward. Those who tried suffered the sa fate. Except unlike the woman, their bodies were tossed aside so they would not ss with the food.
But just then, one of the nobles atop the stage narrowed their eyes fiercely at the daughter who was hugging her mother. Then, to my genuine surprise, the noble raised their steel spear and without any remorse threw it like so kind of javelin straight at the child.
My eyes widened at this kind of cruelty, and so I imdiately made my move, crossing the distance in an instant by using my swordsmanship, then catching the spear in my grasp before it could reach the child.
It all happened so fast that the nobles were only able to react to my intervention after blinking once.
As for the noble who had just tossed his spear like a javelin?
"Hmm? Kevin Lacrosse? What are you doing here?"
He showed no remorse.
