As a resident of the Shield Spirit’s world, I, Atla, am always supporting Naofumi-sama from behind the scenes!
That filth-like woman has appeared once again.
Still… With the amount of men she has managed to seduce, I can’t help but be impressed by it. It does make one wonder on the other hand.
And just as she was about to unleash her attack using the Seven Star Whip towards Naofumi-sama and the others from afar… A woman, who was supposed to be her comrade, stabbed her from behind for some reason.
“It must hurt to be stabbed in the back… I can’t help but be surprised by this sudden development.” The one who raised a voice of sympathy along with an expression of pain was Ost-san, a person who came before me as a resident of the Spirit’s world.
Certainly… I can tell that Naofumi-sama is also stunned.
“Ohhh… what great anger,” Demon Dragon said similar things, both inside and outside of this world. It’s our nemesis who tramples our place like it owns it!
“That woman has only been creating resentment directed towards herself. A woman so hideously evil that there can be no room for sympathy. She is simply reaping what she sowed.”
She is so evil to the point that it is nauseating to see her appear again and again.
”Having once been a villainess who tried to corrupt a country, I do hold some thoughts concerning that.”
For some reason, Ost-san is throwing words of sympathy towards Naofumi-sama’s enemy, that woman. There is no need for you to sympathize with such a person!
“Thy role was different from that woman’s. Thou dared to act evil so that heroes would subjugate thou for the sake of protecting the world after all. Moreover, thou didn’t even fight against the Shield Hero, right?” The Demon Dragon managed to sneak in and throw some words of kindness at Ost-san at such opportune timing!
This is a dangerous sign. It’s going to bring Ost-san to its side and kick me out!
“… But the fact that I did some terrible acts doesn’t change. I was unfortunately unable to be punished by the heroes either…”
If Naofumi-sama has forgiven you, then it would be the same as you not having sinned at all! If anything, the one that should be hard to forgive is the Demon Dragon!
“By the way, Atla-san, why did you turn your attention to the Demon Dragon?”
“Is that vulgar woman not a perfect match for you? A fiend for a fiend, no?”
“Hah… Don’t thou underestimate me. Strategies and conspiracies are my forte, but I do intend on being courteous at the very least.”
The Demon Dragon answered mockingly. And yet, it doesn’t let that show at all.
“I would appreciate it if thou would cease with thinking that such a lowly woman is of my preference. Rather, the person who stabbed that woman holds a much finer anger. She has the eyes of someone who has endured profound suffering in order to achieve her goal.”
Apparently, the woman who stabbed that black-hearted woman held a very deep resentment towards her, and seemingly hid it while waiting for an opportunity to strike.
“Don’t thou have the same frame of mind? That thou will do anything for the Shield Hero.”
“That’s right! If it’s for Naofumi-sama’s sake, I’ll even deceive Onii-sama!”
There was a time when I deceived and set a trap for Onii-sama who tried to get in the way of me getting to Naofumi-sama!
“I don’t think it’s something to be proud of.”
“Umu! That’s it!”
“It’s the first time we’ve gotten along. I will do whatever it takes!”
“I wonder why that was the thing they found common ground on…” Ost-san was appalled, but I ignored her and focused on Naofumi-sama’s gallant figure!
