Demiurge reacts to the girl knight in the same way that the ruffians did. It’s like déjà vu all over again.
“Gentlemen! What are you doing in the public eye?!”
The girl knight raises her voice toward us while continuing her strange appearance pose. ¹
No, but what is that strange pose that makes no sense?
Is she transforming? Is she going to transform into something?
I mean, how long are you going to continue that strange pose?
With the appearance of the girl knight with such a strong impact, I can feel the anger swelling up inside me fade away with a clatter.
In a way, she has an incredible presence.
“Ack, guards! The guards are here!”
“Th-There’s a knight too!”
“Wait, is she really a knight?! Is that really a knight in that stupid pose?!”
The ragtag group began to make a racket.
Those who had fallen also got up in a hurry and were in a panic.
However, the girl knight finally stopped her strange pose and seemed to be checking the situation with her chin as she looked over at us.
“Mm~hmm. There are a lot of men with weapons in their hands who look like they have a bad physique… one, two, three…”
“Wait, that’s messy! What’s the point of counting?”
She then turned her attention to us.
“And there are three beautiful women and… an ordinary, inconspicuous-looking man who looks like he could be anywhere…”
What? Did she just make fun of me?!
She made fun of me, didn’t she? No, she definitely made fun of me, didn’t she, that girl?!
“Hm~m, I’m not sure what happened, but it’s obvious that it turned into a brawl! For now, capture everyone in this place! Oh, but be nice to the girls! Especially the pretty ones! If you hurt them, you will be purged!”
And then she started to give some incomprehensible instructions.
I don’t mean to agree with the words of the ruffians, but is that girl really a knight?
That’s not a costume, isn’t it?!
“Fuck! Fuck! Bastards! Blow up the guards and the knight lady! I don’t want to get caught!”
“Yes!”
“Mumuu, are you going to take hostile action? They’re foolish enough to compound their sins! All right! You will suffer for this!”
The ruffians rushed towards the knights and guards.
However, the knight, who called herself Kiriha, showed no sign of moving at all, nor did she even draw her sword from her waist.
What the hell is that girl doing?
“Hey, hey! If you don’t want to get hurt, get out of the way, you little freak!”
“I don’t want to be called a freak by you. Besides, you can’t leave your torso open like that…”
“Haee?”
“―――That’s like asking me to get in your pocket, isn’t it?”
“Eh? wai, guhoo!!”
The man who rushed towards Kiriha was easily sunk into the ground right in front of us.
Fast!
That knight, Kiriha, had neutralized the ruffian with just her techniques, without even drawing her weapon.
And her movements were so fluid that they were almost effortless.
As soon as she was in the opponent’s pocket, she shot her fist at the opponent’s vital point.
She may not have been blessed with a large physique, but she took advantage of her small, feminine figure to sneak inside and attack with precision.
I thought she was a crazy woman who made bizarre appearances and said incomprehensible things, but she seems to have very good combat skills.
“Let’s continue! I, Kiriha, will use the fists of justice to purge those evildoers who disturb the peace of the town! Let’s go!”
“Gyaa!!” “Gwah!” “Fuhee!”
In succession, the ruffians kissed the ground.
In addition, she alone took care of all of them, while the guards behind her restrained the fallen ruffians, creating a perfect flow of work.
“Hey, guys…”
I took my gaze away from the battle in front of me and gestured to Demiurge and the others.
“Mu? What is it, husband? Sneaking around like that.”
“Eh? What? Secret talk?”
“Hmm? What is it, master?”
“We have to get out of here. If we stay here, we’re sure to get into trouble.”
“Umu? I’ll beat the crap out of all those people, won’t I?”
“Stop it. It’s not a good idea to mess with the guards and the knights, let alone the ruffians from earlier… It’s wise to get out of here.”
The knights and guards who showed up here would indeed be no match for us.
However, to continue our activities in this town, we can’t afford to mess with them and get into trouble.
Escape is the way to win here.
“If you say so, husband.”
“I have no objection either.”
“You’re not going to run away from a human being, are you…? Oh well. All right.”
“All right, let’s go.”
While the other party was distracted by the ruffians, we sneaked away from the scene.
Behind me, I could hear Kiriha’s spirited voice saying, “Toh, seii, ho!” followed by the screams of the ragtag group over there.
Even so, that Kiriha knight, somehow, but I think she looked like Touka…
Perhaps they were from the same Kamui country.
◆◇◆◇◆
“Okay, if we get away this far, we should be okay for now.”
We made our way to the edge of the commercial area.
The sky had already turned a perfect shade of red, and the sun’s rays were almost being sucked into the other side of the wall.
“Umu, I don’t hear any noise.”
“Haha, it’s like tag and hide-and-seek, so exciting!”
“Running away from human opponents… Me as a four great demon, this?”
There is no sign of our pursuers, and as Demiurge said, we seem to have managed to escape.
The only thing I’m worried about is whether or not those knights remember our faces.
The appearance of Demiurge and the others might have been troublesome, though they would have stood out even just by themselves.
“In the meantime, it will be difficult to operate in this town today, so let’s take the portal back to the elven forest.”
“How are you going to get your daily necessities?”
“No, after all the trouble we’ve been through, we won’t be able to take the time to look in the stores.”
“―――That’s right. In addition, I have to question you about the fact that you fled from that place. Please do your shopping afterward by all means.”
“““………………”””
Why is the crazy girl knight from earlier here?
What? Don’t tell me you’ve been following us from that situation?
“Oh, you!”
“Fu-fu-fu… You think you can escape? It’s a bit naive, please don’t think I’m just another lowly knight in the street! I’m still pretty confident in my legs! Don’t think you’ll be able to escape that easily, sir! *Zubish!*”
This time, she put her hands on her hips and pointed at us.
I couldn’t see her face very well earlier, but when I looked closer, I saw that she had a moderately pretty face.
Her straight, glossy black hair hung down from her shoulders and seemed to be tied up at the ends with a white ribbon. Her large, round eyes are black, a characteristic of Kamui people. The carving on her face is also different from the people of this country. But she has a face with well-defined eyes and nose.
And as I thought, she looked a little bit like Touka.
However, the smile on his face was the opposite of the calm impression of Tohka.
No, correction. It was a smug face full of confidence.
“I’ll tell you my name again! I’m a knight of the Royal Capital! Kiriha Shiranui! *Zubish!*“
As she announced her name, Kiriha struck the same strange pose as before.
I don’t know if she does that every time, but she does.
“You were all involved in the brawl at that place! I’m sure of it!”
“No, you’ve got the wrong person. A brawl? What are you talking about?”
“What? Is that so? Oh, that’s a terrible misunderstanding… but of course not! I can’t mistake the three beautiful women, if it were you!”
I thought that maybe I could get away with it because she’s a stupid girl, but I guess not.
Hmm? No, wait, what do you mean, if it were me?
Do I look that featureless?
Is this girl trying to sell me a fight? Well, I’ll buy her provocation at a premium! Damn it!
“You will come with me to the guards’ station! Assaulting someone in town is a crime!”
Tsk, it’s not good to cause any more trouble here.

If we make a move on the knights, we won’t be able to operate in this town in the future.
However, it would be a hassle to be taken back to the office like this.
If we’re not careful, they might confiscate the bills issued by the commercial guild as punishment for the commotion.
Being a merchant, it’s hard if people be wary of you.
