The moment I saw the Fighting Demon brace himself with a heavy thud, I reflexively shouted.
"Don't even think about touching that!"
"Don't worry. I haven't fought anything like that before, but…"
No, I'm not worried about you…!
"I'm a man of my word."
…Man of your word?
What word?
"Don't worry. I won't let anyone touch you or the orphanage."
Ah.
That.
Yeah, okay. Now I understood perfectly.
Crazy troll bastard.
"Don't…!"
The Fighting Demon suddenly leaped forward, his battered fists clenched tightly.
"STOP!"
Damn it.
Couldn't things end peacefully for once?
THUD!
Miraculously, the Fighting Demon's punch never reached the devil.
A golden magical barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, completely blocking his fist.
The Fighting Demon's eyes widened.
"…Huh?"
Before I could even react, a familiar voice came from above.
"I don't quite understand what's going on here, but I seem to have arrived at exactly the right moment."
