Chapter 160: One Who Harbors Darkness (3)

"To call a friend exchange might still be insufficient, but an opponent I talked with several times, and a friend’s friend. I am relieved she was saved, and I feel anger at the bunch who did this kind of thing."

Toward senpai named Niekawa Kazuki he observes while talking as if first meeting.

He knows his sister acknowledges him, but he thought there is not trust of a degree she immediately obeys Niekawa’s words in that confused state.

Therefore he thought he was active in the fight with the Magician Diabolic and further piled trust.

(As I thought not strong, Niekawa-senpai.)

If he observes up close he understands. He is weak.

Even current Adle not grown for combat, to a degree he can one-sidedly beat down.

He knows he is training.

If said in the framework of Earth’s humans he is probably strong to a degree he can be called a strong one enough.

But if asked is he an existence fitting this place now, absolutely no.

Since just being an Earth man he is classified a weak one without question, however he struggles he cannot match existences of another world.

But why.

Now this place, not his sister, he cannot help thinking he is the center.

"That is right, is Atel Octo safe? I do not see the figure."

"That, me too... that is right, will you lend a phone?"

Yes, now whether he is strong or weak does not matter. What should be prioritized more than anything is enemy and ally information.

And this SNS society, the figures of Atel Octo and Sacred Knuckle whose location he does not know, possibility someone else has found is high. ...Precisely because of that Leas was lured to a place easy for her to fight, a place with not one ordinary person with possibility of involving in combat.

Whether he understood what he wants to say without detailed explanation, Niekawa said I see, wait a bit and directed his gaze at the female Magician Diabolic.

"Livy, for a short while I ask alone. I go to the kendo hall to get luggage."

"Ara, is it fine? Even without watching me."

The female Magician Diabolic called Livy showed a smile alluringly, and as if testing.

Certainly logic. He does not know what kind of circumstances she is here, but if asked can she be trusted, no.

Faster than Adle who tried to say I am watching, Niekawa puts on a smile what, that kind of thing.

"I said at that time, I will not take back my words. The person who said that not believing you, what to do."

"..."

Livy did not reply immediately.

Only put on an absurd expression as if the top of the head was hit from an unexpected direction, and gently averts her gaze.

"Fu, fuun... so. Only that, you have business, right? Go quickly."

"Sorry, it helps."

Seeing off Niekawa who deeply lowers his head and runs to the kendo hall, Livy shook her head as if embarrassed.

A reaction like an ordinary girl, Adle pulls his expression.

(...Niekawa-senpai, what really happened with the Magician Diabolic?)

How can he make an enemy woman who came to raid a maiden this way. He thinks is this not a light novel or something he borrowed from a classmate and read.

Somehow he wanted to throw away various things and hear the circumstances, but he endures.

(That kind of thing later, he thinks... aaaa, I really mind!)

"Sorry, I kept you waiting!"

Niekawa runs up under Adle quietly holding his head.

He takes a phone from a school bag, releases the lock screen and starts SNS, and knits his brows mu.

"...It is on the trend. Safe, it seems there is, umu."

What is it, very poorly worded words.

Toward Adle thinking suspicious, Niekawa gently turns the phone screen this way.

’Onii-chans are smart! Un, that is so. Doris-chan also got involved there... when I thought I would have bad things done by a white-haired suspicious pervert I was saved. So a special guest! Justice transformation heroine onee-chan! Sacred Knuckle onee-chan!’

"...!?"

"Aa, umu... a Your Tube channel called DORIS ch Doris-chan, its clip video, apparently...?"

What is it, a girl with a very familiar face is laughing with a character attachment he has never seen at all!?

Doris Stan. Of course he knows. The same Sacred as his sister, among those living in Calmate there cannot be one who does not know.

But Doris Adle, Gahel Wayne, has seen he feels was a bit more frank character.

’Haa? Scared of machines and do not want to carry? Even though Saber is fighting in a world overflowing with this kind of thing, what are you saying at this degree. See, do not say stupid things and carry quickly. The portion everyone is bad at this kind of thing I have to work hard.’

A while after Remora’s raid, when he passed in front of the castle he saw the figure carrying into a room with knights much equipment apparently carried from Earth.

He wanted to know what they do with that kind of equipment and wanted to learn, but from the reputation a man of the Wayne house same as Black Knight he thought if he clumsily approaches he will trouble his sister and remembers distancing quickly.

But why is she streaming? He starts to think and ah, gets convinced.

(Manipulation of mass media Tomioka-san is doing. But manipulating all public opinion of the internet is impossible.)

Of course it is not that they are not doing it.

They should be intervening in major boards and news sites and moving so as to protect Sacred somehow.

Yes, somehow. They can only do that.

Watching and managing all board posts and SNS mutters is impossible.

In the first place the majority of those who see and hear information on the internet tend to trust words of fellow enthusiasts or liked celebrities more than imperial headquarters announcements. Even if clumsily suppressed with power it only becomes the reverse effect.

Therefore she became popular.

Normally she earns popularity as an ordinary streamer, and in the crucial scene follows Sacred.

Even words that if an unknown existence would be buried, if words a person being paid attention releases they stand out. Words reach humans following at minimum, and after that Doris’s fans spread her words.

If said it is stealth marketing entertainers do. She herself is also Sacred so it might be fine to say self-produced self-acted.

Not at all a righteous path act. But the effect was tremendous.

Other than holding many fans, actually filming on site, filming a video side by side with Knuckle, credibility apparently surpasses other accounts.

The person who swept bad reputation with a means impossible for other Sacred puts on a fawning smile in the video to a degree a sound kyurun! seems about to be heard.

Very cute.

Cute, but.

(Ah un, I understood what she wants to do, but why is she deliberately doing it with this kind of character.)

The logic of becoming a streamer he understands.

There is probably also the reason words are easy to convey to others, but more than that Doris’s looks are arranged.

For Doris not living in the world called Earth he can also understand the persona of a foreign girl streamer interested in Japan is very convenient.

(That kind of setting aside, even if the personality itself stayed original popularity would have come out, maybe.)

Nothing, she does not have to act a human separate from usual self that far, maybe. Adle seeing Doris laughing calculatedly on the screen muttered in his heart.

"A blunder. Hey, do you have motivation? You."

Meldiana Calmate while swaying a gold ponytail and a jet-black military uniform, and a miniskirt combined with that, glared at Koito Tuse.

At his feet there was a pool of blood.

A dummy doll the Vigilante Adle left, its remains.

Ah, I see I see. A separated lump of meat? Thinking it the enemy? You kept hitting?

What is that, are you screwing around.

Koito Tuse has the highest physical ability among existing queen’s close-aide Magician Diabolics, and yet letting them escape, what is that.

Meldiana glares with a harsh way of saying, but Koito only laughs kukaka enjoyably.

"What, no problem. I rampaged and the head also cooled. Then only ending."

"...? Do you have some plan?"

Honestly saying he cannot expect much.

Because this old man only thinks of violating women.

That said precisely because of that easy to handle, his master Alter said that and while disliking used him. Without threatening status, if he periodically hands women no problem.

A fool interested only in violating women. That was master Alter’s, and Meldiana’s own evaluation.

"Aa, that is so. Actually."

But in the figure opening his mouth with a smile full of confidence there is no bluff at all.
