Chapter 877: Meeting the Six Kings’ Executives Ten Demons II ①

The piko piko hammer was given to me by Shiro-san, but I honestly don’t know how much it actually hurts. First of all, it doesn’t seem to work on me, so it doesn’t work when I tried hitting myself with it.

I’ve never used it on anyone before, but when Alice and Fate-san were fooling around too much, Shiro–san urged me to say the Spell of Doom “Shiro-san, help me”, and that hammer was struck on their heads.

The two of them, who should be among the world’s strongest, seemed to be seriously hurt, so I think it hurts quite a lot.

After that, the hammer was given to me on a whim by Shiro-san, and I’ve occasionally shown it to Alice to admonish or intimidate her, but I’ve never actually used it at all.

I felt uncomfortable using such a thing on someone I’ve never met before and was about to thank, and to be honest, I was skeptical of Risty-san’s words.

I thought that…… I could at least say hello to her without having to do that…… until I actually met Phenix-san…..

Phenix-san had the appearance of a meter-long bird, but her entire body was made up of green flames. The flames seemed to be in the shape of a bird, but perhaps, it was a special kind of flame, as I didn’t feel any heat as I approached.

Then, when I saw Phenix-san, the first thing that came to my mind was “Ahh, this is no good.”.

That was because the emotion I felt from Phenix-san with my Sympathy Magic…… was nothing. No favorability or hostility, it felt as if I’m just a random pebble on the side of the road, and she was only reluctantly present here because she was requested by her superior.

It was often said that the opposite of love is indifference, and I don’t feel that Phenix-san was interested in interacting with me at all. Perhaps, the thought of “going home” has been what was going on in her mind right now, and even if I introduce myself, I don’t think she’d remember my name. That was how cold her emotions were right now.

[……Phenix, what’s with that face.]

“Haahhh…… I just can’t get into the mood. Looking at him like this, I can clearly see it. I don’t even think that this guy had the “strength to kill me”. Seriously, I can’t even exert the slightest interest in me at all. To be honest, I can’t even be bothered to explain it like this. If you need me for something, please contact me through Shalltear-sama.”

[…………………….]

Seriously, this is no good. As for what it is that’s no good…… It was that Pandora-san’s vein popped out of her forehead, and she looked like she was on the verge of losing her temper.

I guess it isn’t enough for me to just say my thanks. It seems like I don’t have any other choice but to follow Risty-san’s advice here.

[Phenix-san! Excuse me!]

“Huh? What’s with that toy…… If you’re joking around, I’ll get angry, okay? No matter how powerful the people around you are, if I don’t find you yourself attractive, I will———— NAAAAAAHHHHHHH!?”

Seeing me take out the piko piko hammer, she looked as if she’s wondering what the heck am I doing…… and reacting in a very straightforward manner, Phenix-san looked dumbfounded as she didn’t avoid the hammer.

Thereupon, when the hammer touched her body, she screamed and rolled over the ground…… No, scream?

“……Naaaahhh…… Nfuuu…… Haahhh…… This is…… Ahhh…… This is!?”

Twisting and rolling on the ground, she’s strangely making coquettish noises…… The heck is this, I feel like I’m watching the awakening of something really terrible.

Please return the concern of this apologetic me.

“……T- This is impossible…… Even though you couldn’t kill me, f- for me to receive this much pleasure……”

This guy said it…… This guy just seriously said pleasure. I see, it seems like she’s one atrocious masochist. I’m really tempted to stop with this greetings and just go home already.

As I was thinking about this, Phenix-san raised herself up…… she dexterously spread out her wings and placed them down on the ground, she lowered her head.

“Aaaahhhh…… I- I was…… a hopeless fool…… I thought that pain leading to death was the “supreme pleasure”. No, that was what I thought…… and my vision has been too narrow! For tens of thousands of years, my eyes have been clouded from the truth!!!”

To put it bluntly, I don’t understand her at all. As I listened with a straight face to her lamenting words that I didn’t even want to understand, Phenix-san suddenly turned towards me…… and I felt “lightheaded” for a moment.

No, more accurately, I should say that tremendous emotions assaulted my mind, momentarily overwhelming my thoughts. What used to be a feeling of nothingness that I had just experienced, so many different emotions came rushing towards me like a surging muddy river.

“……I didn’t have any religious beliefs. I don’t worship any God…… However, it seems like…… I found God.”

I felt lightheaded again. Her whole body was made up of flames, and of course, her eyes were also supposed to be made up of green flames…… but I felt like insanity began to dwell within them.

I thought I was supposed to follow Risty-san’s advice…… but perhaps, have I committed some kind of terrible mistake?

I really wish they’d just excuse myself from all of this, so I glanced towards Pandora-san…… and immediately turned away.

She’s also just as dangerous as her…… but it was a little traumatic to see her looking at me with her cheeks uplifted and eyes filled with desire, so I pretended I didn’t see her.

As I thought, it seems like I really made a terrible mistake.

Q : How did this happen?

A : Lilim assumed that Kaito inflicting heavy damage on Phenix ⇒ Phenix would take a second look at Kaito and start to listen to him…… but the pain from the piko piko hammer was far more intense than Lilim’s assumption, which became an “unexpected present” for the masochist, which turned her Affection Meters from “indifference ⇒ fanaticism”.
