Two years and seven months had passed since I ca to this world. I was am now at Level 180. On the other hand, it had ’s been 5 months since Takato and the others ca here, and Takato had already reached the limit — he surpassed Level 300.
I had been running around trying to stop stampedes, and most of the monsters I defeated were rank B and below, so it was difficult for to level up.
I left most of the warlocks and high level monsters to Takato, so he rapidly increased his power.
Well, not that it mattered.
As long as Tina, the person I loved the most, lived in a safe world, then it didn’t matter to whoever defeated the Demon King.
On a certain day —
“Tina, I like you. Be my girl.”
Takato confessed to Tina. I was really annoyed at his arrogant attitude, but even if it’s was a joke, it was ’s coming from the strongest guy in this world.
I was itching to charge at him and beat him up, but I must respect and hear out Tina’s feelings first.
“It is truly a great honor to receive your proposal. However, I apologize. I cannot accept this.”
Tina rejected Takato.
I was inwardly having a joyful fanfare. in my joy.
“Huh? W-, why!? I’m the strongest dude in this entire world, you know? I can have the world in my palm if I wanted to. And yet, why are did you rejecting my proposal!?”
You, what are were you spouting……..
Were you aiming to beco the demon king?
“I am in love with Haruto-sama.”
“Eh!?”
Tina said sothing outrageous.
I stood dumbfounded.
Tina was facing Takato, and she had her back turned towards , but the tips of her ears sticking out of her hair were dyed in crimson, so I understood.
Tina liked — but that kind of thing was supposed to be impossible… I tried to reflect.
──＊＊＊──
‘I defeated a lot of monsters today, too! Haruto-sama, pat !’
Tina would always request a pat from whenever she slayed slew monsters or when she healed the people. She would seem very happy when I did that when we were ’re alone.
──＊＊＊──
‘Eh, you want another helping? I’m sorry, this is the last one. Please have so of mine. Here, open wi~de.’
Tina’s handmade dishes were very delicious. Whenever I asked for another helping, she would tell that there’s no more, so I could have so of hers. She would then hold a spoon towards .
Of course, it was Tina’s spoon.
Indirect kiss…
Afterward, when the food on Tina’s plate was is all gone, she would say ‘Oh, there’s still more’ , and she would bring in more food.
──＊＊＊──
‘Haruto-sama, can I sleep with you tonight, too?’
Even if we saved towns and cities from the monsters, we didn’t accept the compensation that the residents would offered to us. We moved ran around all the ti, so we were also short of money.
Tina and I also didn’t like taking raw materials from the monsters.
We would occasionally took take the monsters’ horns and other easy to obtain parts and sold them so we’d have money for the inn. But we couldn’t afford to be extravagant, so Tina proposed that we should would sleep in one room.
Tina would always stick to when it was ’s ti to sleep. Well, there was ’s no way I’d feel bad that a beauty was sticking to , so I didn’t have any complaints.
— Yup. Tina probably liked even before, based on her previous words and actions.
Our races were was different, but and Tina was very beautiful, so she shouldn’t wouldn’t have any interest in . That’s what I thought, but I just noticed now that I was probably mistaken.
I liked Tina. I really loved her.
I was on cloud nine when I learned that we both felt the sa.
Tina confessed to inadvertently, but….
My happiness was overflowing.
But then, so idiot crushed that happy feeling — \
“Halt’s just a small fry with a level below 200! Even if he’s a hero, he's still way below !!”
“Haruto-sama is not a weak person!! Haruto-sama has had saved countless cities and villages, do you understand how many people are grateful to him!!?”
Tina defended when Takato mocked .
“Haruto-sama is the true hero!!!”
Takato shut up with Tina’s words.
Then —
“Haruto, fight .”
“Ha!?”
What did you say?
Takato was Level 300, I was only Level 180, you know?
One You could already see the result, right?.
“If you won’t fight against , then… I won’t defeat the Demon King.”
“W-, what are you saying!?”
“If I win, hand over Tina to .”
I was not dating Tina in the first place, so even if you say ‘hand her over’, that was ’s impossible.
Well, even if we were ’re dating, I didn’t don’t have any plans to give up do that to soone like Takato.
“You won’t be able to defeat the Demon King if I’m not there. Co on, fight !!”
Takato unsheathed his sword after saying that.
He seed serious.
It was’s useless, nothing would go through this guy at this rate.
I was already considering defeating the Demon King myself, but that would an I’d expose Tina to danger.
That’s why I needed Takato’s fighting strength.
“Got it. If I win, you have to help slay the Demon King.”
“That’s impossible.”
Daichi and the rest of them wanted to stop us, but Takato glared at him, effectively shutting them up.
The fight between Level 300 Hero and Level 180 good-for-nothing Hero began.
“Die!”
Takato charged at with bloodlust right from the get go. His attack was powerful enough to blast S-rank dragons into oblivion.
And I —
Easily evaded that attack.
“Wha!?”
Takato was dumbstruck.
That’s natural.
It’s really easy to avoid such a straightforward attack that relied heavily on status, no matter how fast it was. Of course, you’d also receive great damage if it were to hit you head on.
However, the sword that the deity gave , and the experience I got from fighting thousands, no, tens of thousands of monsters already closed the 120 level gap between us.
Takato’s attacks didn’t hit , on the contrary, my attacks wounded Takato’s body.
“$%!@#$^#&(&*!!!!!!!!!”
Takato beca increasingly furious as none of his attacks hit ho.
I kept on resisting him.
— That’s what I thought, when Takato suddenly released an enormous amount of magic.
“Haruto, you...you’re strong, huh. That’s why, if you can endure this, then I’d acknowledge you. I’m going to help you kill that Demon King, too.”
Takato conjured a colossal spear made from thunderbolt.
It was one of the two ultimate lighting and thunder magic.
It was different from Ultimate Thunder, which was a wide-range annihilation spell; this was the strongest specialization magic spell used to attack an individual.
He was really aiming to kill , considering the difference between our status. And he was further instigating to avoid this attack.
Moreover, Tina was behind , anxiously watching our battle; she was truly worried. I didn’t notice at all that we were’re already in this position while fighting.
If I avoided it, Tina would get hit. Takato seed to have planned it all, driving to this position so that it would be impossible for to avoid his attack.
“...Go ahead.”
“ —!? D-, don’t get so full of yourself!! Die in regret!!!!”
Takato snapped when I provoked him. He released the spell, which was sothing that should never be pointed to a person normally.
The thunderbolt spear rushed towards with the speed of light.
And I —
I flicked it off with my right hand
“—Ha!?”
Takato was frozen in shock.
The strongest level in this world was 300.
Heroes were teleported by the deity, and after receiving blessings to their heart’s content, they would defeat the monsters and the others who were connected to them until they finally reached the limit — that was level 300.
Takato was already considered the pinnacle of strength in this world because he was already at Level 300. And yet I easily blocked that strongest person’s strongest attack.
Behind stood the person I should protect — Tina.
I activated the Protective Skill, and my level doubled into 360, defying all reason and logic of this world.
As long as Tina was behind , no one else would win against .
Alright, should we rehabilitate this Hero-sama who fell into darkness?
I moved towards Takato’s side. I simply ran, but because of my aweso Level 360 status, Takato was shocked when I suddenly appeared in a flash right before his eyes.
I aid at Takato’s face with all my might and —
