Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

Chapter 124.1: Totona’s All-Out Attack

◆Goddess of Knowledge and Books; Totona

Honestly, I was quite surprised the first time I met Kuroki. He was completely different from what I imagined. I had expected him to be a boorish man with the head of a wild boar, knowing nothing but fighting. It was why I had felt really anxious when my master told me that he wanted to send the Dark Knight to my library to read books.

That’s just how unpleasant the rumors surrounding the Dark Knight were in Elios.

The Dark Knight, who had defeated the Hero of Light, had become the most hated person by the Goddesses of Elios. On the other hand, Rena’s lover, the Hero of Light Reiji, was the hottest topic among them. He was a hottie comparable to Alphos, the God of Song & Art

In addition, he was also the owner of a mighty power, he could use the light cannon of heavenly might, which no one but Oudith could use until now.

He was the kind of person that could make even a shut-in like me interested in him.

Rena and I were raised together by Faeria, my birth mother.

Rena had always been a beautiful girl since she was a kid, be it dancing, sewing, or singing, I could never beat her.

Thus as someone from the same generation, I ended up becoming a shut-in since I couldn’t take it being compared to Rena anymore.

An existence that was completely incompatible with me. That was Rena.

As we grew older, many male Gods proposed to Rena, whose beauty had already bloomed to its peak.

But then, Rena ended up ignoring all of them.

That’s why my curiosity was piqued, I wanted to see the man chosen by Rena. Thus, I tried to get a magic picture of him. In the end, I had to say that he was a handsome man, but definitely not my type.

Well, at least I knew the reason why he became the hottest topic among the other Goddesses though.

He was definitely a match for Rena, the one hailed as a heavenly beauty. If not for the fierce opposition of the male Gods, he might’ve already been invited to join Elios.

But, after that so-called Hero of Light got beaten black and blue by the Dark Knight of Nargol, the lament of the Goddesses reached all the way down to my library, those hysterical bitches.

Those Goddesses kept worrying about the Hero of Light, cursing at the Dark Knight who defeated him. They even gossiped amongst themselves saying that his appearance beneath his helmet must be an extremely ugly one since he was the ally of that ugly Demon King.

Well, I did agree with their remark about the Demon King being ugly, and though Loughas’ case wasn’t as bad as the Demon King, many other of the Demon King’s allies were ugly in appearance.

That’s why it was normal for those Goddesses to assume that the Dark Knight had an extremely ugly face. It was also the reason why I couldn’t hide my anxiety when I heard from my master that this same Dark Knight had come to my library.

Though I felt grateful to him for defeating Rena’s Hero of Light, I honestly didn’t want to meet him.

I mean, what should I do if he did something to me?

But then, this library was originally owned by Loughas, I was nothing more than its librarian. Not to mention that I really can’t refuse my master’s request, the one I’m indebted to, so I ended up agreeing.

However, the moment I met Kuroki, I realized my worries and anxiety were needless. He was a calm and quiet person.

「It’s a pleasure to meet you, Goddess Totona-dono.」

I was truly bewildered when Kuroki said that to me while bowing politely. He didn’t give the image of a strong and evil creature.

Was this person truly the Dark Knight who defeated the Hero of Light?

I was completely shocked.

And speaking of shock, his appearance completely betrayed my expectations of the divine being who had allied himself with the Demon King.

His appearance rivaled the male Gods of Elios.

Or rather, he was completely my type.

I mean, his score in terms of appearance and personality was perfect for me, I could even double his score. And the best thing of all was the fact that he wasn’t the kind of man who would get infatuated with Rena.

No doubt about it, he was hostile toward Rena.

My heartbeat rose a bit.

But up until now, I was a complete novice in regard to relationships with men.

Well, it wasn’t just limited to men.

People rarely come to my library.

Since this was the former residence of the Demon King back when he was still in Elios, people rarely came to this place.

The only one who came to this place was my older sister, my mother, and Nel.

Since I shut myself inside the library and rarely came out, I almost never socialized with other people.

That’s why it really couldn’t be helped that others always told me that I lacked expression.

The reason why I always had an expressionless face was simply because I had no idea how to approach someone when I met them for the first time, thus ending up showing a cold and distant look on my face.

But in Kuroki’s case, I gradually spoke more and more with him about various books.

It was truly a blissful moment that I had never felt before.

It seems he loves books too, I was really enjoying my time listening to his stories of books I had never known before.

But, our relationship couldn’t take another step forward beyond friendship since there was a silver-haired girl who came with him every once in a while.

But well, that was a relief.

I mean, I was really happy just to be able to share my love for books with Kuroki. Unless something happens, our relationship will stay this way for a really long time.

I might not have done anything if not for Ishtar-sama saying that strange thing.

But, now that silver-haired girl wasn’t by his side.

That’s why I’ll use this chance and do my best.

◆Kuroki, Whose Manhood Rivaled That of a Dragon

「Thank you for waiting, Kuroki.」

Totona, who had already changed her clothes, greeted me and then sat beside me.

Honestly, I couldn’t take my eyes off of Totona.

The thin fabric of the Gypseal traditional attire revealed too much skin, the slit that reached all the way up the waist revealed Totona’s captivating white and slender leg.

I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO IDEA THAT SHE WAS SUCH A BOMBSHELL BABE ALL THIS TIME SINCE SHE ALWAYS WORE THICK ROBES!

Totona’s were quite big. They were smaller than Rena’s and Ishtar’s, but they were big enough to make my eyes dart toward them non-stop.

But then, what’s the meaning of this?

Why is she suddenly wearing this kind of attire?

But, I guess I really couldn’t guess what she thought inside since the usual Totona had always been expressionless.

Nevertheless, allow me to express my gratitude for her.

Thank you!! Thank you very much!!

The heck!! Why did I act like a peasant out of nowhere?!!

It seems Totona’s charm has made my brain go haywire.

Okay, calm down now.

I MEAN CALM DOWN PLEASE, MY BUDDY! IT’S NOT YOUR TURN!!

「Is something the matter, Kuroki?」

Totona asked curiously.

Well, she was as expressionless as ever.

And she literally leaned forward, bringing her pair of delicious-looking bombshells closer toward me.

Oh crap!! ALERTALERTALERT!

「Eeeh, is something the matter, Totona-san?」

I ended up using honorifics. I mean seriously, what was happening here?

「Since Ishtar-sama said those words. I’ve been asking myself, should I do my best too?」

Eh… What in the world is she talking about?

Then I noticed.

The smell of liquor mixed in Totona’s breath.

「Totona, are you by any chance… drunk?」

But, the one who replied was Nel who was already sitting beside me.

「Totonyan drank a lot of lion’s milk before entering this room. Now Totonyan is a little bit tipsy meow.」

Nel explained the gist of the situation to me.

The heck!! What do you mean by “A little bit tipsy”?!!

I mean, this was my first time seeing Totona in this state.

Lion’s milk was a liquor made for offerings to the Gods. Meaning that even Gods would get drunk if they drink it.

Though it was hard to see since she was as expressionless as ever, I did get this feeling that Totona was drunk right now.

「It’s a bit too hot here.」

Totona used the fabric of her attire to fan herself.

My eyes automatically drew in toward her.

「Is someowthing the matter, big brother? Your eyes are bloodshot meow?」

Nel, who sat beside me, asked curiously.

No, please stop looking at me with such innocent eyes.

「Kuroki-Must-Drink-A lot-Tonight」

Totona took a cup and poured lion’s milk into it. It seems that cup was for me.

Oh no!

I forgot to tell her that I’m not drinking liquor.

I’m not drinking liquor, but I want to drink liquor that doesn’t make you drunk.

Thanks to my blunder, I couldn’t refuse her offer.

I tried to think of a legit reason to refuse the liquor.

At that moment, I noticed something happening in the corner of the room. It seems there was a quarrel.

What was happening, I wonder?

Totona and Nel, who noticed my reaction, ended up following my line of sight.

「Is someowthing the matter? What are you doing meow?」

The cats in the corner of the room twitched hearing Nel calling out to them.

Thus, an orange tabby cat came out as their representative.

「My princess! Please, please save my brother meow!!」

And rushed toward Nel.

But, the other cat caught him midway.

「Is someowthing the matter?!! What’s actually happening here meow?!! Explain to me-ow, Varon?!!」

Thereupon, a black cat stepped forward, the only cat who wore a tunic among the other naked cats.

The cat’s name was Varon.

「My deepest apologies for this commotion, my princess. I tried to stop this guy since you’re still entertaining your guest, but… Well, please take him out for now. We’re embarrassing our princess in front of her guests you know.」

Varon ordered the other cats to bring the tabby cat out for now.

It seems this black cat was the leader of the catsith.

I knew that they were different from the other cat.
