Eyes closed, a minute passed by, but she didn’t feel anything.
「… What…?」
Timidly, Nady opened her eyes, and there before her stood a man’s sturdy back.
「… Hero-sama?」
Thinking that it was the hero she so yearned for, she timidly called out.
「Didn’t I say that I’m not a hero! Full throttle! 『Dragon Macho』!」
[Daily: ドラゴンマッチョ… I know…]
The masculine voice was familiar. The disgusting man who forcefully tried to make himself her fiancé. Though Mother’s divine protection was obtained, the Cowardly—Ritone wasn’t going to fight against the Demon Prince.
That kind of man jumped down intentionally to protect her.
「… Why?…」
「I don’t know- Shit! Hurry! I can’t hold on for long!」
Ritone yelled out as his clothes split apart from his temporary buff.
Desperately, he released all of his Ki to form a barrier in front of him so he could defend against the digestive fluids.
「… Good grief. This is troublesome.」
Littlette came down and tried to cut the threads binding Nady with her nippers.
「And you…」
「Despite those instances, aren’t we a party? As the White Princess Norn said, “A true adventurer doesn’t abandon his companions even in extreme situations.” I am an adventurer.」
With great difficulty, the threads restraining Nady were cut.
「I did it!」
「Go! I’ll defeat this thing somehow!」
Nady shifted her eyes to Ritone, and for the first time, she saw a hero.
(Damn… I tried to look good, did it work?)
While thinking, he desperately exerted his willpower.
