“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.
