NOVEL NEXT Chapter 91: The Devil Came Out
That was close…!
When I stopped the female commander(?) who tried to charge out of the room, I sensed someone's presence approaching this room.
I jumped up and clung to the ceiling right before the other party opened the room from the outside.
「Sister?!」
「UUUUUUUUUUHN!」
I shuddered upon seeing a familiar person rush toward the female commander(?).
It was the female Holy Knight?!
「Are you okay?! Ugh, who in the world would dare to do this…?」
I had yet to escape from the crisis.
I had to escape before the female Holy Knight noticed my presence.
Fortunately, she was completely focused on that female commander(?) right now.
I had to use this chance to esca―
「NHIN!」
「Eh? Behind… me?」
The female Holy Knight turned around at the worst possible time.
「!!」
And yet, that wasn't the worst part.
Never had I expected that my oversized trousers would choose to slide down at this very moment.
As a result, I exposed my pants, which also chose that time to slide down along my trousers… This means that I literally showed my nearly bare lower half while clinging to the ceiling.
Man with naked lower half ＋tied-up girl ＝ DEATH (both socially and literally).
「How did you… get out from there?」
…Eh?
Her reaction betrayed my expectations.
I was almost convinced that she would misunderstand and believe that I was trying to assault the female commander(?). She would be enraged… but the female Holy Knight unexpectedly looked at me with a dumbfounded look on her face.
「Did you, by any chance… manage to escape that dimension?… T-thank goodness… I… because of me… you…」
Bewildered, I was unable to respond to her reaction―
Slip.
My pants fell down.
「~?! THIS DAMN PERVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERT!!」
The female Holy Knight finally snapped out of it and screamed as she threw the mysterious furniture closest to her.
And it struck right on my crotch.
OUUUUUUUUUUUCH?!
Oops, it didn’t actually hurt since I was an undead, but it was mentally painful.
Normal humans would've been knocked out by that already.
「YOU! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO MY BIG SISTER?!」
「T-THIS IS A… MISUNDERSTANDING!!」
「THEN WHY ARE YOU NAKED NOW?!」
「THERE'S A REASON FOR THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!」
===
「M-my deepest apologies!」
Uhm… why did things turn out this way?
The female Holy Knight bowed before me.
I mean, she was literally prostrating in front of me.
Although this was the first time I saw this kind of apology, I felt that it was truly beautiful.
After she screamed at me, I desperately explained the situation that led to this event and managed to somehow convince her.
And for some reason, she started to prostrate before me, which made me feel rather uncomfortable.
And by the way, the female commander(?) who caused this event had unknowingly fallen asleep.
Such a carefree soul…
「Well, I don't mind if you understand though…」
「T-that's not the only thing I must apologize for… I mean. The end of result is I… ended up lying to you.」
「Lies?」
「It's the matter about me telling you to come to the Holy Country since we could purify you, which only ended up with you being imprisoned in a dimensional prison, a prison that could literally trap you forever…」
It appeared that the female Holy Knight didn't lie to me.
…Well, she didn't seem to be the kind of person who could tell a lie either.
However, it didn't erase the possibility that her appearing like someone who couldn't lie was an act too.
Although I couldn't fully trust her yet, I should accept her apology for now.
「…It's okay. However, my heart felt like it was about to burst when I was locked up inside… But getting out of there was easier than expected.」
But was that a jail that could really trap me forever?
I felt that they should stop saying nonsense like that when I could break out of it so easily.
「No… breaking out of there should be impossible, but…」
「As you can see, I broke out.」
「…According to what I heard, after the gate closed, anyone who entered the gate would be sealed in another dimension. Maybe… God or angels are the only ones who can break through it…」
It seemed the dimensional prison was originally created by the angel who was working as the messenger of God.
Only the pope could use it, but even the pope himself couldn't get out of it if they were trapped in it.
「In fact, a terrifying devil who once wreaked havoc in this world was also sealed in that dimensional prison, but even that devil couldn’t get out.」
「Ah, come to think of it, there was that fella too.」
Although his appearance was almost similar to that of a human, he was a crazy b*stard inside.
At that moment…
The entire building shook along, and there was an extremely terrifying explosion.
「…What the?!」
When I braced myself as I was wondering what just happened, I heard an extremely loud laugh from outside.
I walked to the window and looked up at something that was floating in the air.
「HAHAHAHAHAHA! OUTSIDE WORLD! IT REALLY IS THE OUTSIDE WORLD! THE DAY I GET OUT OF THAT DAMNED PLACE HAS COME!!」
That guy was… the devil that I met in that white dimension.
The believers and the priests were coming out to the garden and looking up to the sky in curiousity.
「What's that?」
「No way, a devil? In this kind of place?」
「Huh, he is just like a moth flying into a flame. The Holy Knights will subjugate him in no time.」
The devil was looking down on the onlookers as he opened his mouth.
「A thousand years have elapsed, and I have finally gotten out of that place. I'm in a really good mood now. That's why I shall give a generous serving of blood. Everyone in this place shall become my kin. I shall give you people a lot of affection till you die.」
