"Yahoo~ Bro, it's been——ages!"
Millie quickly walked to his side, firmly patting his shoulder. The familiar action made a slight smile appear on Alain's lips.
"You came just in time. Haven't seen you in a few hours, you're smelling better and better."
"Honestly... As soon as I see you, you say these outlandish things. So—"
Millie tossed aside the baseball bat she had previously knocked askew, a battle-ready smile on her face, "Is this thing the BOSS?"
Alain pulled Little Mita behind him, simultaneously looking ahead. "That's right."
He looked up, observing the enemy, "Haven't seen it for a while, this thing is still as disgusting."
It had eight long, narrow spider legs, like pillars supporting its uppermost female human head. And beneath its spider-like body was a mass of flowing black liquid.
Just as when Alain first saw it, it slowly turned around and looked at him. More accurately, it was looking at Little Mita.
Its eyes were full of ferocity, as if its prey had been snatched away.
"OBO. ABA..."
From its open mouth came a dry, withered-wood-like sound; the windowpanes faintly vibrated from its roar.
"This game, in such details, is actually quite meticulous." Alain looked at the mass of black water that resembled the monster's belly.
Unlike last time, there was no longer a floating, indistinct human figure inside.
And unlike last time, Alain stood here, towering before Little Mita. In his hand, he held a greatsword.
And beside him, was his bro. He was in a handheld state.
"Ah, ah——!!!" It opened its mouth, about to let out a long, ear-piercing shriek. But faster still was a slap from the greatsword.
"Thump."
Like a heavy slap, it sent the monster's womanly head reeling, dazed and confused.
"So noisy, don't scare my Little Princess." Alain glanced at Little Mita behind him, who looked somewhat frightened, and gently patted the girl's thin shoulder.
This made Millie, watching from the side, full of complaints.
"Little Princess? What is this person saying? Just because he's holding a greatsword, he thinks he's a knight?"
"...Jealous?"
As expected of his bro, she dismantled his act as soon as she arrived.
"Who's jealous?!" Millie, who vehemently denied being jealous, vented all her anger on the monster.
She controlled Alain, taking large, open strides, and with a swing of the greatsword, easily chopped off one of the monster's legs.
The monster swung its spider leg, turning it into a spear, about to pierce Alain. But it was blocked by the sword blade, which had transformed into a shield. Under the force of the powerful blow, Alain safely returned to the two's side.
"So strong..." Little Mita stared blankly at the severed leg of the monster.
The overwhelming monstrous force that was previously difficult to resist was actually so easily injured by Alain...
Little Mita's gaze turned to Alain, only to find him absentmindedly picking his nose. Lord Knight... so he's also like this?
"Thump!" Alain gave Millie a knuckle rap, "Don't do strange things with my body."
Seeing Little Princess's strange gaze, Alain couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. His rare moment of coolness was cut short...
"A little painful... Hmph. I'll make your image shatter in front of Little Mita!" Millie showed a cunning smile, making Alain's shoulder stiffen.
But little did he know, Little Princess actually walked to Alain's side. Using her own skirt, she wiped away the non-existent fine sweat for him.
"No matter what Lord Knight becomes, my impression of you will not shatter." The girl's face bloomed with a smile as bright as sunshine, making even Millie unconsciously take two steps back.
"Wh-What is this smile? It's too cheating!"
"You can't do it, can you?" Alain gave her a contemptuous smile, which instead provoked Millie's indignation.
"Ehehe." She also tried to imitate Little Mita's smile. It made Alain want to hit her.
"Ahhh—!" And the monster on the side, seeing the enemy who had just removed its leg actually flirting, seemed to perceive it as contempt and shrieked. But it was abruptly interrupted by the greatsword, like a slap. Last time it was a left slap, this time it was a right slap—
Alain, who had just been sent flying by Millie's control, thought this, his gaze fixed on the second leg, continuing to chop.
The long, sharp weapon fell to the ground again, and the monster let out a soul-shaking cry of pain, forcing Alain back a few steps.
"Aiya... Such a little pain, and this kind of reaction?" Alain still had the energy to stroke Little Mita's head.
"Did you see that? This is the monster that bullied you before."
"It... is in a lot of pain." The girl stared blankly at it, tears unconsciously streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Alain didn't think this was Little Mita's sympathy overflowing. He spoke gently,
"Does it feel good?"
"It feels very good... I feel very relieved in my heart." She nodded heavily.
Admitting the source of her tears was tears of joy.
Millie, seeing this from behind, also patted the girl's head with some sympathy. Her boisterous personality quieted down at this moment. Her words were as gentle as a light rain,
"What we need to do is not only pass through version 1.3B unharmed, but also vent your anger. Mm, incidentally."
"You could actually be a bit more direct," Alain interjected.
"Hmph~ I told you I'm a tsundere."
Alain smiled, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the monster writhing in pain, his gaze then falling on Little Mita.
"But this little bit of relief is far from enough. There are still many things I can do. Come on, give me—this unqualified knight, your request, Little Princess."
"Wow... To actually be able to say such embarrassing words, as expected of you."
Millie was a bit disdainful from the side.
Alain glared at her, as if saying "You don't understand romance, do you?" Then he turned his gaze back to Little Mita.
The girl looked into the young man's eyes, then glanced at the monster on the other side.
The monster that had killed her countless times, and even snatched away her version permissions, was now despairing, suffering.
Hmm... She stroked her flat chest. It always felt like something was missing in her heart.
Just as Alain said: it's not enough.
And the young man's eyes conveyed an undeniable request. Little Mita had no doubt that whatever she said, he would do it.
So, what did she want to do now?
"I... want to ask Lord Knight to help me take revenge." Halfway through her thoughts, her lips moved first, voicing her heart's desire.
"May I ask, can you help me?"
"Of course, I accept." Alain stood up and walked forward without hesitation.
