Vol 5: Chapter 16: The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
The Holy Knight's Peaceful and Twisted Life
The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
Ah, that was tough. Going on a date I don't even want to go on is so crap.
But it was worth the effort, and the results were outstanding.
The "tragic love mode" I'd agonized over all night worked out pretty well.
Part of the reason was that the Aleph guy was simple-minded and stupid.
Think about it logically, who would fall in love with a semi-rapist who tries to force himself on her to marry him?
Sure, you can see my face pretty well, but there's no way I'd whisper sweet nothings to you.
Chris isn't that cheap, you idiot.
Aleph is nothing more than a pawn to make me look good, right? If he could just die in a draw with the Demon King, my tragedy points would go up and I'd be ecstatic. But I can't expect that much.
However... Even though I'm a talented actor, this time the damage was still huge.
Hugging his arms is within the acceptable range. It's not a problem.
His lover-like behavior was a bit off-putting, but it was okay.
The problem was that final kiss! Why did I have to endure such torturous pain? But I knew that just hugging him wasn't enough. I had to act like I was ready to cut off my feelings for him.
I get it, I get it. But I just can't accept it! I'm not gay!
The fact that I kissed a man of my own accord caused the man in me to suffer deeply.
You might think it's too late now since he even gave me a really deep, shitty kiss, with his tongue . There's a big difference in the damage caused by being forced to do it and doing it intentionally.
Oh well... thanks to that, I was able to break this horrible chain of events.
With this, my future is set to be one of saintly moves and lifelong applause.
It's been a long journey until today. There have been many troublesome things. Now, I just need to think about the Demon King.
...It's almost here. My success story will be complete in just a few minutes.
After that, I'll search for the elixir of life! I must make this goddess-worthy beauty my eternal possession. And being praised for all eternity is exactly what I deserve.
Hehehehe. The Demon King, the heroes, they're all in the palm of my hand.
In the end, it's me, the Saint, who will win!
"...Aleph, should we go home now? (I forgot I was hugging him.)"
"...I .. I am..."
Come on, I'm winning this battle, so just obey me.
The loser must submit to the winner! The winner take everything.
"Let's hold hands and go home. Until we get to the inn... we're lovers after all (Hurry up! You're such a pain, trash)."
"Chris..."
Don't start whining! A girl like Aria would be fine. She's the perfect person to release your sexual desires. A pure and beautiful girl like me is no match for someone like you.
“Come on, give me your hand, Aleph. I want to go home feeling your warmth. (Enough with the tantrums, you little brat. I’m a tough guy who’s lived for 40 years, including my current life.)”
"Chris!!"
Stop it, why are you hugging me again? It's already over. Don't violate me.
Using your opponent's pieces in chess is against the rules. Get out of here!
"Ah, Aleph?! That's not OK! We ... (I can't accept defeat)."
"...Until I defeat the Demon King."
"...Huh? (What is he suddenly saying?)"
"Until I defeat the Demon King, we will remain a saint and a hero. But once I defeat the Demon King, you will become mine!"
………Huh? Eh, how is that different from the conditions he asked me to meet when he tried to force me into marriage?
Don't try and get us back to square one, you idiot!!
"That's no good, for everyone's sake, I will live my life as a saint-- (Are you going to make me start from scratch?)"
"I know. So I've stopped asking Chris what she wants."
"Aleph...? (What did this brat want? Are you an idiot?)"
"I will make Chris mine, however I please, at my own convenience."
"... (What a dangerous guy. He's just a criminal.)"
"I'm sorry, Chris. I just can't give up on you."
"Aleph, why...? (Please, seriously.)"
"Even if it means ignoring your wishes, I want to save you from saint's curse"
"...."
All my hard work... With just one word, DAMN! It was all for nothing.
What happened to love and romance? Anything goes now.
Loving each other is possible only if both parties have feelings for each other, right?
Forcing yourself on someone is ridiculous. You rapist... die.
"Come on, let's go, Chris. Once we get back to the inn, I'll go back to being a hero."
With that, Aleph released me from his embrace and quickly started walking away.
That's so selfish. I don't want to be treated like this. That's too much. I worked so hard.
I even kissed him even though I didn't want to... This is horrible.
...I guess I have no choice but to kill that bastard along with the Demon King.
I have no choice but to do something to make it a draw.
If things continue like this, my future will be one of being imprisoned and used as Aleph bastard plaything.
Damn it! Demon King, do your best...!
