I, Atla, who became a resident of the Shield Spirit’s world, am always thinking of Naofumi-sama!
Naofumi-sama and the others seem to be looking for ways to improve their fighting force in Kizuna-san’s world.
“Let alone by the waves themselves, if those other than the heroes don’t become stronger, there is a chance that they would be defeated by the enemy led by the vanguards of the waves, after all. I believe that it is highly important.”
The one who just spoke was a person called Ost-san, who became a resident of the Shield Spirit’s world before me.
We were watching over Naofumi-sama and the others, and it seems like they intend to revive and negotiate with the Demon Dragon who was an enemy they fought in the past.
Naofumi-sama and the others have started negotiating with the newborn Demon Dragon, but… it just spouted something outrageous!
“A new enemy aiming for Naofumi-sama has appeared! This is an opponent to be wary of. Raphtalia-san, I won’t forgive you if Naofumi-sama is stolen by such a newcomer!”
You don’t have the luxury to just be appalled by the things that the Demon Dragon said! If you don’t put a nail into the advances of that dragon, you’re the one who is going to have to live with that regret!
As I was shaking the Shield Spirit, I felt a presence other than Ost-san behind me.
“Calling me a newcomer is rude, Tiger Girl. If thou count me as a resident here, then it’d mean I have been residing here before thou.”
“Wha!?”
I had absolutely no idea as to where it even came from!
When I turned around with vigilance, there was the Demon Dragon that Naofumi-sama was negotiating with, standing with its arms folded.
“How can you be in this space?”
“Fumu… So thou don’t even know of that? Well, I did wake up in a place deeper within after all. All I did was to match up the timing of my waking with the awakening of the existence similar to me.”
“Back when you came into this world, it had already been in this space once before. Has Atla-san not heard word of it as well?” Ost-san stood next to it, seemingly offering to introduce it to me.
Come to think of it, I feel like I’ve heard it from Naofumi-sama back when we fought against it before.
Something along the lines of it having cast some kind of suspicious magic on Naofumi-sama and the others that left them with some aftereffects.
“That’s how it is. Blind Tiger Girl. Hey, I’ve already finished browsing through all the anger, emotions, and memories of the Shield Hero. So make sure to understand thou’s place among us here.”
What… did you just say!? My position is lower than yours?
“By that logic, I would be number one but… Atla-san, could you please drop your fighting stance?”
On the other side, with Naofumi-sama, the Demon Dragon is currently explaining the reason for its acceptance and embrace of Naofumi-sama’s anger and memories.
I’m so jealous!
“I won’t admit it! As a follower of Naofumi-sama, I will eliminate you and view all of Naofumi-sama’s memories!”
“Atla-san, calm down!”
“Hmph, Blind Tiger Girl, let us decide who will be assisting the Shield Hero in this place! I will support all of the Shield Hero’s acts and win his heart!”
“I won’t let you! Outside, it’ll be Raphtalia-san! But here, I will be the one to monopolize Naofumi-sama’s feelings!”
The Demon Dragon then got into a fighting position, while I held my stance ready to fight at any moment and lunged towards him!
“Haaaah!”
“Gaaawr!”
This is a battle to see who can monopolize Naofumi-sama!
“Ah… Atla-san and the Demon Dragon started fighting in a place like this… Great Shield Spirit. I think it may get a little too lively around here.”
