“Chapter 75: Hostile Sneeze”

    – Achoo!

    The noise echoed.

    Everyone was frozen in place.

    Well, I messed up. Big time.

    I was so relaxed that I completely forgot about the miasma. A few particles entered my nose, which caused me to sneeze.

    What a stupid blunder.

    And it won’t be a cheap one.

    – …! Forget the Dark Hide!

    The screen covering us dissipated.

    – Takaya, hold tight.

    Mumuruu spread her wings to covered me.

    But the Red Demons approached us, clearly realizing something was off.

    – Great Mumuruu, what was that? (Demon Knight)

    – Hm? Ah, I sneezed. Sorry. Weird mushrooms they have in the human world, huh. Come on, keep patrolling the-

    The tip of a black sword faced Mumuruu.

    – May I ask WHAT do you think you’re doing? (Mumuruu)

    – Enough. We not so stupid. Succubus, what hiding?

    – Kh…

    I made eye contact with the knight.

    – Shimmer Succubus Leader. What is that?

    – …

    Mumuruu remained silent.

    A human was hiding behind a demon.

    For years both species fought viciously, and now one of the most prominent demons was covering a human.

    – No answer?

    The knight raised his sword, and the rest of the group was ready to attack me at any second.

    – Well then. FULL FORCE, EVERYONE!

    The Red Demons jumped at me while rambling incomprehensible gibberish.

    – *Sigh*, I’m just a babysitter, huh.

    A strong gust of wind hit the Red Demons.

    – %&%#__?-

    – Remember this, demons. We elves have a saying.

    I looked behind me and saw Feria with her bow drawn.

    – Elf!? (Demon Knight)

    – “The moment our winds touch our opponent’s skin, the battle is over.”

    A rain of unsurmountable arrows rained down on the demons.

    Before I realized it, her quiver was empty.

    – Feria-san!? (Takaya)

    – Mumuruu, take Takaya and go ahead. (Feria)

    – What about you? (Takaya)

    – We will clean up this mess and catch up with you. Dark Bolt! (Letty)

    Letty shot a black lightning bolt towards the demons.

    – Well, now the secret is out.

    – You want fight us!? Really!?

    – Fight? Oh my, you Red Demons really have no brains, huh.

    Letty’s horns grew even bigger.

    – This will be a one-sided slaughter.

    She wasn’t pulling any punches now that I was discovered.

    Really makes me think who the real Succubi leader is.

    – So, mistress, do I have permission to fight or what?

    – *Sigh*, just make sure to delete any evidence.

    – Don’t worry. We won’t leave a trace.

    I’d prefer if we didn’t have to beat anyone, but I guess the demon world has its own way of doing things.

    Besides, now the demons know I’m here. We can’t afford any other slip.

    – Good luck, Letty. We’ll meet later. (Takaya)

    – Of course we will. I wouldn’t leave my beloved master just like that.

    We could’ve sneaked through the demon world peacefully. All of this is just because I let my guard down.
