Fake Holy Sword Chapter 62

You Fool!

Chapter 62 You Fool!

「Ooooooooooooooo!」

「(Me!?)」

The one who Herge aimed at after he roared was Alistar.

Even though screaming inside, the holy sword is properly controlling his body, so his posture is ready.

「Haaa!」

「Uwaa!?」

The holy sword receives the sword that is swung down from above.

Crash!

Receiving such impact, Alistar, who’s being manipulated, screamed.

Originally, he skipped even farmwork, so his physical strength is severely inferior to Herge’s physical strength, which he had been tempered strictly as a knight. He could barely compete with it because he was controlled by the holy sword.

In the first place, if it was just Alistar’s power alone, he couldn’t be able to defend or avoid the first attack and ended up being cut off.

「(What the hell with him!? He’s really come to kill me, isn’t he!?)」

『He sure is…』

「(What the hell with that leisure attitude?!)」

When Alistair is abusing the holy sword, the pressure on his arm suddenly becomes lighter. When he looks at it, Helge had separated his one hand from the sword and was making a hard fist with that one hand.

「Nuohh!?」

The fist is approaching.

If this is just a fist from a man who hasn’t trained much like Alistar, it might end with just a little pain. However, the opponent is the kingdom knight’s fist that has been trained for the country and the people. If he receives it directly, he’ll receive damage where he won’t be able to stand up properly.

It takes a lot of courage to release one hand from the sword when fighting an opponent that uses a sword. Especially if it is close combat. Herge had enough courage to do it. And that is something that Alistar doesn’t have.

One strike that normally would have made him fainted is not enough for the experienced holy sword. Alistar, who is controlled by the holy sword, splendidly avoids the fist with a minimal movement.

「(Stop dodging in the last moment! The wave is scary!)」

『You still have the composure to say selfish things like that huh. As expected.』

「(This is not a composure! This is a sincere request!)」

While dodging Herge’s attacks, the conversation in the brain continues.

「(So, what are you going to do? This guy is strong, isn’t he?)」

『He sure is strong. As one would expect from a knight who’s applied as the Saint’s escort. He’s a considerably strong person.』

「(It means it will be hard to catch him alive? Then, don’t hesitate, kill him. I won’t forgive you if I get injured because of your consideration towards him.)」

『I have become accustomed to your self-absolutism…』

If I’m going to suffer, then you’re going too.

Alistar’s feeling is overflowing.

「(What, it’ll be okay. Even if you kill him, I can perform the tragic drama of a protagonist who can’t help but kill him to protect someone. Far from dropping, my reputation will rise. Do it without restraint.)」

『I don’t care at all about your reputation. Rather, it’s better for it to drop…』

However… the holy sword is troubled. What Alistar saying is the worst proposal and he absolutely won’t adopt it, but catching Herge alive is certainly seems difficult.

Not only Herge, but the other trained knights are being manipulated too. Malta is doing her best fighting against them, but she is also exhausted from the battle with Maximilian and is not in perfect condition.

It’s a very difficult situation. There is no other way…

「(Wait, there is)」

『Eh?』

「Eh?」

The holy sword raises doubts to Alistar’s thoughts. Then, the one who raises the same voice as him was…… Magali, who was pulled by Alistar and was pushed out in front of Herge.

「Magali-kun. With the power of your love, release Helge from the brainwashing.」

「(Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!?)」

To Alistar who shows a smile, Magali screams with her eyes open wide.

She didn’t speak it out, that’s Magali for you. But, not showing a stunned look seems to be difficult even for her.

Still, Alistar is being cornered too, he’s sweating a lot even while smiling.

『Wait…!? What are you trying to do…?』

「(Listen here, Herge likes Magali…… It means that her voice might reach to him. Isn’t it seems possible for him to come back with the voice of the one he loves?)」

The holy sword imagines it.

…… Certainly, I might have seen such a story.

『I-I see…』

「(I see my ass!!)」

That’s something intolerable for Magali though. Being pushed out in front of a manipulated robust man, her fear is amazing. Unlike Alistar, no one controlling her body to move skillfully. There’s only fear.

「(At worst, Magali will be my shield and being cut off even if it fails. It’s killing two birds with one stone.)」

Alistar lifts the corners of his mouth, grinning. It’s a gruesome smile that he could never show to Malta.

「(Come on, you’ll be killed if you don’t say anything, you know? I’m fine with that though.)」

「(R-remember this later……!)」

Magali glares at Alistar with bloodshot eyes.

However, she understands that it’ll be bad if she does nothing at all, so she unwillingly does what Alistar expected.

「Herge-san! Everyone! It’s me, Saint Magali!」

「Sa, int… sama…?」

When Magali shouted, Herge showed a reaction to her. Knowing that there’s a chance of victory, Magali adds more words.

「That’s right! Please return to your sanity! Please save (only) me!」

「Hey.」

Being able to sense Magali’s inner voice, Alistar glares at her expressionlessly.

「Gugu, gugugugu…!」

Still, it seems to be effective for Herge. He’s somewhat started to suffer.

「(Now is a chance…? Holy sword, get him!)」

『I won’t do such brute things! What best is if he regains his sanity.』

「……Ara ara. To think that your voice can reach a person who’s being manipulated by my and Malta’s singing voice… as expected of Saint-sama.」

Pamela opened her eyes as if being surprised. However, there was no impatience or disturbance in her expression.

「But…」

「Gu, gu… ooooooooooooooooooo!!」

「Hiee!?」

Herge shook his head as if to shake off Magali’s voice and once again swung his sword towards Alistar. Alistar could not react at all, but the holy sword was dealing with it properly.

「(Magali was closer to him than me, right!? He just passed her and attacked me!?)」

「………Pfft.」

Looking at Alistar who showed a desperate look while sweating, Magali changed her blank expression into a mockery.

「I-I… I am…」

「Herge-san!?」

Herge started to mutter about something, so Alistar immediately talked to him to bring him back. Of course, it’s not that he cares about him, it just for his safety.

「I… I envy you, Alistar…!」

「(Eh? Because I’m handsome?)」

「Because you’re intimate with Saint-sama… with Magali-sama…!」

「「Ha?」」

To Herge’s words, Alistar and Magali’s voices are overlapped.

Intimate? Really? The two are trying to kill each other if there is a chance.

As a matter of fact, they are not close at all.

「Magali-sama is … more energetic when she’s with you more than with the others…. I can’t help but envy it!」

「(You bastard!! Don’t just get your act exposed to others!!)」

「(That’s wrong, Herge! I’m energetic only when I’m ridiculing Alistar or making fun of him! Look carefully! Other than that, my eyes are dead, right!?)」

The voices of Alistar and Magari don’t reach to Herge. Well, that’s not something they can say out loud though.

「The more gap in a person’s heart is, the easier my singing voice will be for brainwashing. That knight was unexpectedly easy to be brainwashed.」

「(Tsk! A man that fall in love is this troublesome, huh!? Stupid!)」

To Pamela who’s giggling, Alistar shows a sour look.

Although it’s for making Magali suffer, despite Alistar declared that he will help to make Herge close to her, just what with this attitude.

「T-that’s why… I’ll kill you and have Magali-sama look at me…!!」

「(Damn, are you a yandere!? If only you directed that yan part to Magali, then there’s nothing I can say…!)」

He wipes away his sweats and put his strength into the hand that holds the sword.

Herge too must be thinking that this is wrong. He’s being upright and cleanhanded, also from the fact that he’s being recognized as a kingdom knight, his personality good enough that it can’t be compared with Alistar.

That’s why he understands that he’s doing something wrong. However, even then… he can’t control the emotions which got amplified by Pamela.

「You… fool!」

「Guh…!?」

Herge is thrown away along with Alistar’s angry voice.

「Lister here, Magali won’t just like you even if you kill me! Think it sensibly, you idiot! What you need to do is not to kill me, but to raise Magali’s likability towards you!!」

To begin with, I’m not your love rival, you know!?

Magali and Alistar, who have no love feelings for each other, feel nothing but dissatisfaction for being thought as intimate.

Just now, Alistar stopped his acting a bit and spit out his earnest words.

Still, when talking about raising likability from Magali, that’s extremely difficult.

「(Don’t get me involved!)」

「(This happened because you didn’t accept Herge! Just open you thigh for him!)」

「(I’ll kill you!)」

Alistar and Magali show hostility in their exchange stronger than towards the enemy.

「Guh… I-I… I am…!」

「You, just shut up for now!」

「Gaha!?」

Alistar’s fist slammed into Herge’s face. Of course, since his wrist is not well trained, it was weaker than Herge’s fist. However, due to Alistar’s strong emotion and it hit directly, Herge fell on his back and fainted.

「(I-it hurts!? Even though I’m the one that hit him, my hand hurts!?)」

『If you are not used to training and hitting, you will hurt your wrist.』

「(If you know, then don’t do that!!)」

Looking at his hurt wrist, Alistar has a bit of tear in his eyes. Only Magali who notices it and laughs at him. Looking at the suffering man, who tried to use her as a shield and run away, is pleasant for her.

「Ara ara, is he no good? But, it’s okay. I’ve kneaded enough magic power after all.」

Pamela said so and laughed a bit.

Since she does not have a fighting ability like Malta, there is only one thing to do with the magic power.

『T-this is bad! Close your ears…!!』

The holy sword alerts Alistar and Magali, and manipulate his body to block his ears.

However, Pamela opens her mouth faster than him.

「――――――」

Then, a terrifying and beautiful singing voice that can charm and brainwash others echoed.
