「Damia, go and persuade Yozakura!」
「M-? B-But I….」
I was just silently watching Lovis and everyone else bicker with each other.
I felt bad for them since the origin of their quarrel was none other than … However, I do understand what Yozakura was feeling since she saw her leader, the leader of a lawless organization, act so humble towards soone she didn’t know.
In the first place… I didn’t even know what the scale of 《Black Reaper》was.
I was almost convinced that the three of them were the only mbers, but judging from Yozakura’s words, it seems like there were more of them.
They continued arguing like this for five whole minutes.
Only after Lovis’ zealous persuasion did Yozakura’s attitude soften.
「It’s not like I’m gonna force you to understand my reasoning. In fact, I don’t mind even if you have so sort of suspicions about . I’m sure my humility right now might look like a miserable joke to you guys. But please, please overlook this for now, I’ll give you a proper explanation later.」
「…I guess I have no choice but to trust you if you go as far as say that.」
It seems like they’ve settled their problem for the ti being.
I never really expected for him to be able to pull that out.
I think Lovis would do so much better as a swindler than a 《Black Reaper》.
「As long as you keep treading on this path, the day when you understand the aning behind my words will co. I really like you guys, you are my precious comrades, I don’t want to lose you guys from a trivial misunderstanding like this.」
「…I understand. I’ll overlook this case, but the next ti it happens, I’ll quit even if it ans I have to fight you guys. 」
After Yozakura said those words, Lovis turned back to .
「My apologies, It seems we ended up wasting your ti, Kanata-sama! We’re about to arrive at the closest city!」
Lovis continued bowing his head many tis while apologizing to .
When I nodded at him, only did Lovis start relaxing.
「… quit.」
A voice sounded out behind him, he then quickly turned around to Yozakura again.
「Uhm… Sorry, what did you say just now, Yozakura?」
「I said, I quit.」
「Tell why, Yozakura?!」
Lovis slapped his thigh with a vexed look on his face.
… Yup, it seems that Lovis was gonna take a long ti to convince Yozakura.
I yawned since I basically had nothing to do, when I tried looking around, sothing at the end of my field of vision caught my attention.
「Eh? That’s…」
It was a short, ugly, green-colored goblin.
It might look like a weak pushover at first glance but I could clearly rember that appearance.
There’s no way I can forget about it.
It was one of the fastest and most tenacious devils in 《Distorted World’s Cursed Mirror》, its na was Pseudo-Goblin.
Don’t let its weak appearance trick you, its head was nothing more than a dummy.
When its prey lowers their vigilance and approaches it, its body would just split and then transform into a grotesque monster, devouring everything around it.
The reason why I could rember was because I was killed by it so many tis.
I never expected that it managed to slip out from the 《Distorted World of Cursed Mirror》 that I carried with .
Although Lunaire didn’t tell about this sort of possibility, it didn’t an that the chances were zero.
If a Lv. 3,000 devil like this loitered around a forest filled with Lv. 200 monsters, it might’ve destroyed the ecosystem overnight.
「L-Lovis-san, please take your comrades and use 《Short Gate》to get away from this place! There’s a monster!」
Lovis looked around the area after hearing my warning.
His expression turned into that of bewildernt when he saw the Pseudo Goblin.
「Is that the monster… Kanata-sama? I an, it’s just a goblin. There’s a change it might be a variant since it managed to survive in this place…」
Maybe because of its weak appearance, Lovis didn’t move imdiately.
Anyhow, this left with no choice but to destroy the Pseudo Goblin with powerful but restrictive AOE magic.
「GET DOWN, NOW!」
I pointed my sword toward the Pseudo Goblin and…
「Ti-Space Magic, 19th Rank; 《Graviburn》」
Black light exploded with the Pseudo Goblin as its center.
「19th… Rank? Wasn’t the 15th rank the highest magic that could be used by High-Elves, Dragonn, and the Transported Hero?」
Lovis’ leaked voice was filled with astonishnt.
「Gofuu?」
The goblin that was at the center of the black light could only frantically wave its limbs.
At the very next mont, the black light condensed into the center.
The initial space in the range of the black light then imploded due to overwhelming gravitational force.
The next instant, a loud explosion ensued.
The explosion was so powerful to the point of peeling the earth’s crust and devastate the trees around us.
The space compressed the Pseudo Goblin until it was nothing more than an almost invisible black dot.
When it exploded outwards, the Pseudo Goblin’s shredded body and debris rained down on our surroundings.
Lovis and everyone else got blown back by the shockwave of the explosion, they desperately clung to the ground below them while getting hit by the wreckage.
…However, the Pseudo Goblin wouldn’t go down that easily.
In the first place, a devil was nothing more than a lump of mana, it’ll simply vanish like mist when it dies.
So…there shouldn’t have been anything like flesh and blood…
I guess Lovis was right, it was just an ordinary monster who happened to pass by this area.
Maybe I really went too far against a monster whose strength was only the sa as a Monster Bear’s.
「…My bad, it looked sothing similar to one of the monsters I know about.」
I turned around and looked at Lovis and the rest.
Lovis was getting up from the ground while his breath was clearly disordered.
「…This is what I ant, Yozora. It has nothing to do with being humble or obstinate. Challenging this kind of monster without knowing your place is just like facing a giant falling teor head on. Under normal situations, I wouldn’t be afraid to die, but at the very least, I want to be spared from being aninglessly crushed to death.」
「M-My apologies, Lovis-sama, I was mistaken about you…」
… Though I had no idea why, I guess the both of them finally reconciled.

Important Note : Please rember that at this POINT, Kanata’s common sense has been poisoned by Lunaire and Noble Mimic, he thought that everyone outside of Cocytus is far more terrifying than him. In addition, he also wary of Nyarlhotep hidden hand.
