Ankoku Kishi Monogatari (WN)

Well, I had naturally racked my brain to come up with another plan. I had made a promise to the cats. So, the moment I came across the ratmen and knew they were with the enemy, I concocted a plan.

I touched the ring on my finger.

This ring was paired with another ring worn by Kuna. It allowed us to detect each other's position, and also served as a communication tool.

In short, it was kinda similar to a phone with GPS.

I brought Totona to a rather secluded place, away from Reiji and co. Just to be sure that they wouldn't hear our conversation.

「Can you wait for a minute, Totona?」

That was what I told Totona after arriving at a secluded place.

「No, Kuroki. I really want to fulfill your request, but the current situation is a bit…」

Said Totona with a blushed face.

EH?!! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT, TOTONA-SAN?!!

I retorted inside seeing her reaction.

「Err… I'm not going to ask you to do some sexy stuff…」

And then, I started explaining the details of my plan to Totona.

「I see, it's annoying to think that I have to rely on that girl's power, but we really have no other choice I guess.」

「Yes. Now let's go back.」

When we got back, Nel and Harsesh were in the middle of a huge quarrel. It seems Reiji couldn't think of a solution either.

「Stop right there, prince. I've come up with a good plan.」

Everyone's line of sight instantly gathered on Totona.

「TOTONYAN!!!」

「AS EXPECTED OF YOU, TOTONA-CHAN!!」

「OOH, AS EXPECTED OF THE WISE AND BEAUTIFUL TOTONA!!」

「Huff. As expected of Totona-chan. Her title as the Goddess of Knowledge isn't just for show.」

Nel, Ishtar, Harsesh, and Reiji sung praises to Totona.

「It's still too soon to be optimistic but… But well, I need your help in this plan.」

Totona looked at the Nyanko fencers as she spoke.

「We're willing to lend our hands to save our compatriots.」

D'Artagnyan, the leader of the Nyanko Fencers, who acts as Nel's bodyguard as well, gave his salute.

「Thank you, D'Artagnyan. Then please come closer, you too Medjed.」

I nodded in silence.

I stepped forward a few seconds after D'Artagnyan.

Zafrada made a suspicious look on her face.

「What are you trying to do?」

I kept dancing forward, completely ignoring Zafrada.

Looking at their figures doing strange dances from the side turned out to be really fun.contemporary romance

Thus, I ended up enjoying the dance.

Zafrada seemed to be unable to give any orders since the situation was too bizarre.

After approaching the middle of the two forces.

「What kind of madness is this!! Stop or I'll kill the hostages!!」

Zafrada snapped back when they arrived closer to the hostages.

But, she was too late. The Nyanko fencers had already gained momentum.

I secretly brought the ring on my finger to my lips.

「I love you, Kuna. It's time to play the flute.」

I asked Kuna who had already been on stand-by on the other side of this ring.

The flute manipulates ratmen.

Kuna had gotten that flute when we had visited the Republic of Ariadya sometime ago. I had no idea how Kuna ended up getting that flute though. But, the very same flute became the key to break this deadlock.

I contacted Kuna the moment I knew that we were going to fight the ratmen.

And then, once I’d say the keywords we agreed on beforehand, Kuna would play the flute.

「Okay. I'll play the flute for my beloved Kuroki.」

I heard Kuna's delightful voice from the other side of the ring.

That moment, the sound of the flute resounded from my ring.

「O WIND!! SEND MY VOICE!!」

Totona cast a voice magnifying spell from behind me.

The wind helped me spread the sound of the flute.

The ratmen started dancing upon hearing the sound of that flute.

「IMPOSSIBLE?!! HOW CAN THE SOUND OF MY LITTLE BROTHER'S FLUTE COME FROM THERE?!!!」

Zaffrada couldn't surpress her shock.

But, it was too late.

The four Nyanko fencers hidden under Medjed's robe charged towards the ratmen.

「NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」

The Nyanko fencers drew their swords as they leapt in the air. The ratmen couldn't do anything due to the sound of the flute. Thus the Nyanko fencers successfully saved the cats tied on the shield one after another.

「NOW! CHARGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」

The mummy chariot squad led by Nephthys charged forward along with Harsesh's order. The chariot pulled by the undead horses ran past the skeletons, pulverizing the ones who stood before them.

The specter knights fired beams from their eyes to prevent the Nyanko fencers from approaching.

The birdfolk and dogfolk soldiers, along with Reiji and co, also joined the fray, sending their enemy flying one after another.

「THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!」

Zaffrada's image vanished along with her scream.

The rescued catsith hugged their peers. Having fulfilled my promise, I heaved a sigh of relief.

「Thank you, Medjed. These children would have been sacrificed if not for your interference.」

Totona came and thanked me. Her usually expressionless face let out a rare smile.

Her smile was dreamy, and so adorable.

I felt like I could persevere in any situation just to see such a brilliant smile.

「Thank you~ for saving themeow, onii~san!!」

Nel, who followed Totona from behind, hugged me and rubbed her face to mine.

She was really happy.

Though I was happy to receive their praise, honestly it felt like I did absolutely nothing, everything was just pure coincidence.

We just happened to get our hands on a flute that could control ratmen, and it was also a mere coincidence that the ratmen were the ones who held the cat hostage.

That's why I was really embarrassed when they gave me such sky-high praise.

「As expected of Totona-chan. I don’t know what would have happened if not for your brilliant plan.」

Reiji and Chiyuki came to us.

「Yeah, that was truly an amazing plan. I never expected this plan to work.」

「Fufu. As expected of Faeri's daughter.」

Chiyuki and Ishtar praised Totona too.

It seems they were under the impression that it was Totona's plan.

「You're mi— Eh, what's the matter Medjed?」

I tapped Totona's shoulder just as she was about to fix Reiji and co's misunderstanding.

I shook my head, telling her that there was no need to tell them.

Honestly it wasn't worth it.

Since it was already as such, it might be better to let them regard this matter as Totona's achievement.

「TOTONA! AS EXPECTED OF MY GODDESS OF KNOWLEDGE!! WE CRUSHED THEM THANKS TO YOUR PLAN!! NOW, LET ME HEAR ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR BRILLIANT PLANS!!」

Harsesh and Isdes came to us too after they crushed the army of the undead. They were under the impression that it was Totona's plan too.

「Prince, my plan was nothing special. By the way, no one is coming out from the pyramid… We won’t know if there’s anyone in there unless we enter.」

Totona was right, aside from the ratmen, no one else came out from inside the pyramid.

Since the remaining hostages were held inside the pyramid, we had no choice but to enter it.

「I see, we have to enter huh. Isdes, let's go!!」

Harsesh ordered so but Isdes shook his head.

「Please wait a minute!! It's dangerous!! Harsesh-sama, you have to stay in this place! The same goes for Ishtar-sama and Nel-sama too!!」

Ishtar and Nel pouted hearing Isdes' remark.

But, Isdes decided to ignore them.

「Well then, may I leave this matter to you guys?」

Isdes then looked at Reiji and Totona.

「No problem. I gave my promise to the Queen of Lions.」

「I understand, Isdes-dono. I'll fulfill my promise.」

Reiji and Totona nodded together.

「Wait!! Isdes!! It's dangerous!! Totona should remain here!!」

「Right meow!! It's too dangerous for you, Totonyan!!」

Both Harsesh and Nel tried to prevent Totona from going into the pyramid.

「Don't worry, Nel. I have a powerful friend coming with me.」

Totona caressed Nel's cheek to reassure her.

「That's right, prince. Just wait here like a good child and leave Totona-chan to me.」

Reiji puffed his chest, thinking that Totona was talking about him.

Harsesh looked really annoyed by Reiji's attitude.

My gaze met with Totona’s.

And for some reason, I saw a tinge of pink on her cheeks.
