Chapter 180
“In that case, that settles it, I guess . ”
Having received the confirmation quickly, I thought that everything would be resolved now, but it seems like there is someone who is totally not convinced by the decision .
“W-Wait a minute! If you are going to leave this fellow alone, something bad might occur to Ouka if he’s really a bad guy!!”
“If he’s a bad guy, he would have already done something bad to Ouka . ”
He’s really persistent since before, this Kure-dude .
Kurema pointed his finger at me and desperately objected, but the Black Princess just brushed him off lightly .
Well, it’s true that a few months have passed since I first met Ouka .
If I’m a bad person, I would have done something already .
“In that case, at least let me monitor this guy!”
“Eh?”
“I will check if this person is really someone trustworthy . There’s a need for someone to do this job anyway right? In that case, let me do it . ”
Just earlier I was keeping quietly to myself, thinking about when I can go home, when such reaction unconsciously spilled out of me .
I think I just heard something really awful .
It seems like she does not really care about it much, as the Black Princess shook her head from side to side .
“No, you can’t do that . If something happens to you too, it’d become a problem . ”
Ouka seemed to share the same sentiment and said words of worries for Kurema .
Even so, Kurema’s resolution was rock solid .
“Regardless of the past, there’s no way I’m going to lose to humans, who have lost their powers now! For that sake, I have trained hard to take over my ancestors!”
“The fact that this person is here in this country right now proves that he is not just an ordinary human; I understand your point but this person possesses unbelievable magical powers . Kurema, I’m sorry but it’s too heavy a burden for you . ”
It seems like the Black Princess, who has personally experienced my magical power after trying to attack my weak spot, understood that Kurema was too rash .
Why is this dude so persistent since just now?
He’s so persistent that I am starting to think that he must have some other reason for it . Right then, Ouka drew closer to Kurema again .
“Kurema, I understand that you dislike humans and have become stronger right now . However, Lord Yato here is not the kind of human that you are thinking of . Please just back off right now . ”
As though pacifying him, Ouka tried to convince Kurema .
“N-No, I was worried about you...”
“In the first place, why are you always persistent when it comes to me? You do not really care about the affairs of others . Are you picking on me?”
Wrinkling the spaces between her eyebrows with a hint of irritation, Ouka rattled on .
From what Ouka has said, it seems like Kurema was only this persistent when it comes to Ouka .
After hearing that, Kurema somehow became nervous and said ‘B-Because...’
“I’m seriously worried about you!!”
He might have said that with resolution, or it could be words that unconsciously came out of him, but Kurema earnestly shouted that while feeling a little embarrassed .
Of course, he probably shouted because he is worried about Ouka, but I sensed from the current flow that he probably has some special feelings towards her .
It seems that this person has taken a liking for Ouka .
That’s probably why he is so against letting me off .
Having understood the reason for his behavior and I muttered “Oh...” quietly, while waiting for Ouka’s reply .
“I already know that . That’s why, what I wanted to say is, why are you only treating me like this?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, it seemed like Ouka did not understand the meaning of Kurema’s reply and she was fed up with it .
She didn’t notice it . Not a single bit-
At this, I thought ‘Hmm’ silently to myself and looked at Ouka .
Even if she has not noticed it, she ought to have sensed something . But it seems like she doesn’t get a hint of it .
His thoughts have not reached her; Kurema pressed his head and showed an expression filled with agony .
“In that case, shall we do this?”
The Black Princess sent some timely help .
“Since you insisted on that, Kurema, why don’t you have a match with this human? I might have been mistaken about the magical power I felt from him . If you win, I will allow you to monitor him . ”
Caught off guard at this unexpected proposal, both Kurema and I looked at the Black Princess, but it seems like Kurema was totally on board with the plan .
“Yes! I’ll do it!”
He is totally into it .
On the other hand, I’m honestly not up for it .
“What about you? Of course, if you win, I will let you go this time round, and I’ll overlook what have happened today . ”
“In other words, you will still let me off . ”
“Well, the only difference is in whether you will win or lose . ”
Well, of course .
I understand, but I still feel a little comprehensive about that .
Even if I win this guy, the situation will remain unchanged .
In other words, there’s no motivation for me to do it .
“Well, I guess I have to do it...”
If not, this talk will probably drag on and go off tangent .
There’s the matter of Karen and the little foxes too .
I’m not really into it, but I have given in to the situation and agreed to it .
“That decides it . ”
“Is that okay with you?”
“Well, there’s no other choice . ”
Kurema will probably resist till the end if I do not agree to it . It will be faster this way .
I convinced myself and decided on it .
At first, I thought that they understood me pretty well through just words, but I guess things don’t always turn out well .
Kurema was full of motivation as he said ‘I’m definitely going to win!!’ I looked at that and sighed, thinking that things are going to get troublesome .

“Ouka, did you not think of anything about what Kure-dude has just said earlier?”
“You mean Kurema? Was there anything strange?”
“I see... I think it’d be better if you get a bit of his hint . ”
“What?”
“(It’s definitely not something I should say, I think...)”
