''Oh, there's no way we can beat a monster like that... at least if we had a guild leader...''

"Don't give up!　We have a bunch of A-level swordsmen over here!　And then there's Mistress Lilia...　Where is Mistress Lilia?

'Really?　Before you know it, Mistress Lilia will be gone!

The swordsmen were dismayed when the demon tribe destroyed part of their defenses.

Then I felt a presence behind me and I turned around.

Zuzu Zuzu........

I was hiding in an alleyway with Ark and Leila, and one of the stone floors in the corner was slowly moving.

Eventually, a hole opens up enough for one person to pass through, and then a hand comes out of it wet.

''Huh, it's a good thing I prepared a loophole for this to happen. I don't have time to fight that monster.

And the one who emerged was a familiar blonde woman.

''...What are you doing, Lilia?''

'What the hell?　And Mr. Arrell!　Don't let me scare you!　I thought a demon had found you!

If you look closely, you can see that it is dirty with mud and other things on it, and it smells a little bad.

Leila asked as she picked her nose.

'Daddy, who is this lady?'

I'm not your aunt!

Hey, dumbass, shut up, or they'll see you.

Ha!

Lilia presses her mouth down in a hurry.

I tell Ark and Leila.

'We're just strangers who know each other a bit.

Terrible!　I mean, those kids who look like their parents so insanely, are they two kids, maybe?

Yeah. It sounds like you're in a lot more trouble than that.

Yeah, that's right!

'It seems to be mostly occupied by demons, how could it be so easy?　Hypothetically, it would be the City of Swords, right?

Well, actually, you know what?

Lilia said that it was only a few days ago that the demon race and the demons they led blamed this city.

Naturally, the swordsmen of this city fought back.

And they had the upper hand at first.

However, the battle situation changed when the demons used a sneaky move to take the powerless civilians hostage.

Many swordsmen threw away their swords and were captured by the enemy.

'I see,'

To begin with, even though the city of swords is a city of swords, the normal inhabitants are much more numerous.

It's a difficult thing to fight while sheltering those who can't fight.

''My father got caught with it too...''

'Right. Then why did Lilia keep resisting?

'What?　Because I'm not going to be the one who gets caught because of people who can't fight.

Apparently, "I don't care about hostages! It seems that he had incited some swordsmen to holed up in the guild's headquarters.

He's still the same guy.

''........''

Ark and Leila are looking at Lilia with half-lidded eyes.

'And since it was about to be dropped, he used a loophole to sneak away by himself,'

''Because if such a beautiful woman is caught, the last thing she'll be doing is being used as a consolation prize for all those perverted demons in heat, right?

Just ten years earlier, woman.

I'm not your aunt!

I told you to be quiet.

At that time, the swordsmen's voices could be heard from the headquarters.

''Don't tell me Miss Lilia has escaped alone...''

It can't be, can it?　You're the one who just moments ago was inspiring us to fight together until the end.　You're right, he's not that bad of a character... no, it's possible...

'Well maybe it's because I'm still not married after thirty and I'm getting more and more twisted...'

It was a horrible thing to say.

Well, it wasn't wrong.

'Oh, t-t-la-la!

Lilia shivered, her cheeks twitching.

Then, no matter what she thought, she just ran out of the alley.

''Miss Lilia!?''

You didn't get away!

'Of course!　She's not such a cowardly, vile woman trying to sneak away alone and use a loophole to make her escape!　As a swordsman, I am determined to fight to the very end!

Apparently, she is aware that she is a cowardly and vile woman.

'Mistress Lilia........'

But then why are you in that place...?

'Phew!　Listen to me and be amazed!　In fact, we've brought in the strongest helpers we can get to overturn this situation!

Lilia declared confidently.

I thought it would be interesting if she sneaked off like this, but as expected, I decided not to.

''Come on, Arel-san!　Let's take out the demon race in a heartbeat!

I knew it was coming.

I sigh and emerge from the alley.

''What, Arel?

No way. Um...?

''You're that Arel who was unemployed, yet once won the Sword God's Cup at only fifteen years old!

It must have been more than ten years since then, but apparently there was someone who remembered me.

''I don't mean to say I remember you, but it's a legend, and if you're from this city, there's no one you don't know.

Is that so?

"Yes. By the way, I'm supposed to be your ex-girlfriend (heart).

I gave her a light belly pan.

Lilia writhing in agony in a kuja.

'You hit that Miss Lilia flat out!

That's heroic Arrell!

I don't know why I was so impressed.

'The best helper?　How can a human be a match for our demon race?

The gorilla beastman looks at me with a small, mocking laugh.

Then he ordered the demon that seemed to be under his control.

''Crush that one.''
