*Splash!*
Making a noisy splashing sound, what jumped out from the undiluted lifeforce was one lizard.
“Gyaaaaa!!” (Celestis)
“L-L-Lizard?! Noo, don’t come over here!” (Karen)
All girls hate slimy reptiles!!
And so, Celestis-chan and I were incredibly agitated.
At that time, *Gush!* the burning leg of Mirack-chan steps on the lizard-san.
Did she go through the trouble of stopping her fight with Gabriel?
“…What are you two doing?” (Mirack)
““I am sorry.””
Mirack-chan is manly as always!
“Look closely. This guy is not a real lizard. It is a monster.” (Mirack)
Mirack-chan lifts her leg, and there was nothing left of the lizard.
Once monsters die, they return to being pure divine power and don’t even leave a corpse.
(Good grief, what a rustic woman. Might be fitting for the hero of the muscle-headed Nova-san though.)
““Waaaa?!””
The lizard again! A lizard jumped out from the undiluted lifeforce?!
(I am not a lizard. This Crawling Devil is a newt water element monster. Well, girls like you that are filled with cotton inside their head wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a newt and a lizard anyways.)
…What did it just say?
What’s with this monster? It is as if it can naturally piss off people.
In the first place, why is it that a monster other than the Demon Lords can speak human words? It is like Phalaris-san.
(Crawling Devil is a weak small monster, but its manufacturing cost is low, and it is perfect for a temporary body. Even if I get crushed like just now, I can soon come back.)
Is what the lizard says, or rather, the newt as it inflated and deflated around the chin. Is that the newt breathing or something?
“Geez, what’s with this?! Let’s ignore this little monster and continue the rescue! Each second is valuable!!” (Celestis)
(And I said I wouldn’t allow you, right?)
At the feet of Celestis-chan who was trying to head to the pool of undiluted lifeforce, the newt stood in her way.
(Celestis-san, since before, I have been tired of you not listening to me, but now I don’t even plan on playing along with you. You are already of no use to me after all.)
“What are you saying, you mere lizard monster! I don’t know about you!!” (Celestis)
Uhm…it is a newt.
(It is a matter of course that you wouldn’t notice. But I know you well. You broke the rules of the Church, and entered a frivolous act like being an idol, lowering the authority of a hero. A dirty girl that was born from the womb of a prostitute planted by the current Water Founder. In reality, you shouldn’t be worthy of shouldering the honour of being the water hero.)
*Bam!* a feet strongly stepped on it.
Celestis-chan trampled on the newt monster like Mirack-chan.
There was darkness I had never seen before in that expression.
(Fuhahahaha!! Did you get angry at being hit on the nail?! As expected of a brat, your emotional control is lacking!!)
The newt once again comes out from the pool.
What’s with this thing?! Unlimited newt works?!
(Let’s return to the main topic. It is my bad habit to derail. When I find the weakness of someone, I can’t just not praise it, you see.)
“You…!” (Celestis)
“Wait, Celestis-chan! Don’t get caught in his provocation!” (Karen)
If you go along with this lizard, we won’t be able to move forward at all!
(I said it before but, I can’t let you destroy this Ekhidna Spring. This is an important contract between her and I after all.)
““?!””
What does that mean?
There’s no doubt this Ekhidna Spring that this liza–newt is talking about is referring to the undiluted lifeforce pool.
I thought it was a matter of course that a monster would be protecting the undiluted lifeforce that the Lord of monsters has created, but the way this lizard acts, makes me feel like it is different.
This monster is the same as the others, but it has something that’s completely different from them.
“Celestis! Karen!! What are you two doing?! Is this the time to be distracted by such a small fry?!” (Mirack)
Mirack-chan reprimands us from the back.
(Seriously, it is as she says. To deal with me and forget about what you should be doing, a careless act fitting of a hero. Hohoho!)
The lizard mocks us.
The pressure that attacks us from our back made Celestis-chan and I turn back our heads.
There, a crisis was occurring.
“…Ara ara, so you have stopped those intruding girls. What a good boy, Lizard-san.” (Gabriel)
