Chapter 398

The sight of Bacchus-san holding his great axe without any hint of hesitation made me think of a warrior who had fought in many battles . However, this isn’t the time to care about that .

[Listen here, Eden-san . Be gentle, okay? Gentle . Be as gentle as you would pluck a flower……]

[Acknowledged . ]

……Does she really understand what I’m saying? I’m really worried about that .

However, Bacchus-san was so motivated that he wouldn’t listen to me even if I stopped him…… I just hope that Eden-san will take it easy on him……

In front of me, half in resignation, I offered my prayer for his sake, Bacchus-san took a strong step forward . The impact cracked the ground, and Bacchus-san’s magic power raged like a storm .

[Shall we begin, powerful being whose name I don’t know of! One of War King’s Five Generals, Ironblood Bacchus! Ready for———]

With his vigorous speech, Bacchus-san powerfully kicked off the ground, and his figure immediately disappeared…… and before I knew it, “his upper body was stuck like a dart in the wall behind him”……

[Ba…… Bacchus-saaaaaaannnn!?]

Before I could even perceive it, he was already defeated!? Even though I already told him…… that Eden-san isn’t someone he should fight . She seriously isn’t someone he should fight……

Moreover, this is already her holding herself back…… She’s seriously the incarnation of a cheat .

I didn’t know if he’s already unconscious or not, but as Bacchus-san was stuck against the wall, a helplessly awkward silence fell around the arena .

……It was an unpleasant incident .

After that, I asked Eden-san to heal Bacchus-san’s wound . Well, it seems that Eden-san took it easy on him, so the damage he received wasn’t that serious……

After he regained his consciousness, I received a stamp from Bacchus-san and went outside the arena to wait for Lilia-san and the others .

[……E- Eden-san . Thank you, and I’m sorry . Eden-san is too strong, so I won’t be asking you to be my proxy for the next battles…… Also, please speak normally . ]

[……I see, my child wants to do his best on his own . Seeing my child’s growth makes Mother very happy . However, I’m worried . It would be a disaster if my child’s body is harmed by the trash of this world . Yes, my child’s body is the treasure of the world…… Mother can’t help but be worried . However, yes, it’s also a mother’s duty to watch over her child’s growth . I’m very worried, but for the sake of my child, I’ll be patient . Ahh, but still, if things continue as they are now…… That’s right . Let’s increase my child’s physical abilities by a “thousandfold” . Let’s also increase your magic power, so that you can wipe out the trash of this world . Yes, that’s a good idea! My child is the supreme being, and no worthless trash should ever surpass my child in any aspect . Yes, that’s right! Frustrating it may be, I’m forbidden from cleaning up the trash of this world because of a promise I made to the God of this world . However, if it’s making my child stronger, there should be no problem . Yes, let’s do that . With my help, my child will rise to greater heights…… Ahh, how wonderful . That’s right, I should also……]

[Stop! Eden-san, stoooooooopppp!!!]

She really is scary! Why the heck are you casually speaking about turning me to a superhuman!?

[I- I’m fine the way I am now! Modifying my body like that is……]

[Ahh, you’re right . My beloved child is already supreme at this point, aren’t you? My apologies . Mother is being foolish . Yes, it is as you say! My child is a sacred being that can’t be tainted by anyone . Even if I’m your mother, it is unforgivable of me to change my child’s body without permission . Thinking about it, there was no way I could have improved my child, when he was already the “ultimate miracle”…… I just can’t do that . Yes, that’s right! My beloved child is most superb and wonderful in his natural state . Ahh, but don’t worry . Even if my child doesn’t possess the strength to fight, Mother will always be here to protect you . Ye, that’s right, Mother will protect my child better than anyone else……]

[I’m begging you here! Can you just step on the brakes for a second!?]

I hurriedly called out to Eden-san, whose eyes started to take the shape of murky hearts . I really felt like something terrifying would happen if I didn’t stop her while she was like this .

[A- Anyway, I’m already fine now so…… Eden-san, you can go back to your sightseeing……]

[I understand . I’ll do that . Where are you headed next, my child?]

[Errr, my next stop is…… the nearby arena . ]

I’ve already learned my lesson . If I said here that I would wait for Lilia-san and the others before moving on, she would definitely say something like “Making my child wait, how disrespectful . ” or something like that .

So, let’s just tell her where I’m going next and let her go sightseeing as soon as possible .

I said that, thinking that it was a great Eden-san countermeasure but…… it seems like that was quite naive of me .

[I see . Well then, “Mother will send you off” . ]

[……Huh?]

[Now, I bid you well . Do your best over there . Mother is looking forward to your success . ]

[Eh? Wait!? Wha——-]

As Eden-san gave me her most beautiful smile, my body was enveloped in light and the scenery instantly changed .

……I see, so that’s what she’s going to do…… She teleported me huh…… What should I do? I won’t be able to meet up with Lilia-san and the others like this .

As I was unceremoniously teleported to a position quite far from where I was before, I thought for a moment .

I don’t think it’s a good idea to move without a thought . I’ll just explain the situation here with a hummingbird and meet up with Lilia-san and the others over there .

After gathering my thoughts, I quickly sent a hummingbird to Lilia-san .

Now then, all I have to do is wait…… I’ll never know what will happen when I enter the arena, so let’s just wait in this place .

[Ohh, you’ve arrived huh! I’ve been waiting for you!!!]

[………………… . . ]

Why the heck are all things going against my expectations today? Why is there a 3-meter tall gorilla with a horn approaching me……

No, what I’m saying isn’t a metaphor, the being approaching me is seriously a gorilla . It has black hair, big arms, and even the way it walks is just like a gorilla . The only difference it had with a regular gorilla was the one big horn on its head .

N- No, wait, calm down…… It would be rude to think of someone as a gorilla just because they look exactly like one . It’s just that they resemble a gorilla……

[I’m one of War King’s Five Generals . The Gallant “Kong”! I’m glad you’re here, youngster from another world!!!]

Even your name screams gorilla!?

[……Ah, errr, I’m Miyama Kaito . Nice to meet you . ]

[Ohh! The fact that you’re here means that you’ve already defeated Bacchus . Even though you have a seedy body that’s as thin as a branch, you’re really great, aren’t you!?]

[Ah, no, the one who defeated Bacchus is……]

[The next one you’re challenging is me huh! Alright, let’s get started! Just so you know, I’m not as naive as Bacchus!!!]

[N- No, I’m still waiting for someone……]

[Now, follow me! This way!!!]

This gorilla wasn’t listening to me at all! I can’t even establish a proper conversation with him, you know!?

The gorilla…… or rather, Kong-san carried me on his shoulders . and I was forcibly taken to the arena .

As we entered the arena, Kong-san sat me down, beat his chest with both of his hands and spoke…… That’s definitely drumming…… There’s no mistaking it, this guy’s a gorilla .

[Alright! Let’s get started! Don’t worry, I know you’re weak, so I’ll give you a handicap! If you want to send a proxy, that’s fine too!!! Come on, get yourself ready!!!]

[………………… . ]

No, that’s why I’ve been waiting for the proxy who might be able to represent me…… You’re the one who forced me into this situation, you know……

H- However, what should I do? I can’t just call Eden-san now . She may be really kind to me, but she’s really unforgiving to the inhabitants of this world . I mean, she’s even calling them trash . She may have taken it easy against Bacchus-san, but I don’t know if she’ll do it again .

So, I would like to ask for another proxy but…… w- what should I do? S- Someone, can anyone help me out here!?

[……Rude and uncivilized . This is why I hate War King’s subordinates . Did you really think that a gorilla with no intelligence or dignity could talk rudely to Miyama-sama?]

[……P- Pandora-san?]

[Miyama-sama, please leave it to me . As Miyama-sama’s “proxy”, I will make sure that this rude person will be dealt with . ]

[Eh? N- No, but Pandora-san is……]

[Don’t worry . Thanks to Shalltear-sama’s consideration, I also have the badge that shows I’m “Miyama-sama’s companion” . ]

……Ooooiii, Alice? Why the heck are you increasing my companions without my knowledge? Also, it’s just a hunch, but I think Pandora-san is a very dangerous person, you know?

[Ahh, don’t worry . I will not simply make those who have been rude to Miyama-sama faint . I will “make them regret being born”, and then, educate them so that they will never speak rudely to Miyama-sama again . ]

[………………… . . ]

[I’ll make sure he’ll scream so hard that he won’t have the strength to scream anymore . ]

……Just after Eden-san, why did such a dangerous person appear…… Even though I’m not Lilia-san, I think my stomach is starting to hurt .

Dear Mom, Dad————- Just when I thought I’d managed to persuade the dangerous Eden-san, someone else came to help me, but she’s on a different vector of dangerousness compared to Eden-san…… Seriously, what the heck is going on today? Could it be that today————- It’s that so-called unlucky day?
