Chapter 187: The Second Event – Collapsing Kingdom – part twenty-four
(Ranka’s PoV)
The pervert tried punching my belly, but I blocked his attack with my naginata. He had also used some water-based skill to empower his fist, but Maria’s flames nullified that.
Nonetheless, the impact of those punches was nothing to scoff at. Even when blocked, I still lost some HP and was pushed back a bit… There’s no way I could handle this guy without support.
“What gentleman ends up hitting girls!?” I exclaimed.
“I think it’s more important to judge people as individuals instead of by gender. Do you disagree?” He asked me as he unleashed his barrage of punches.
“… I don’t… You stupid pervert! You and your worldly desires should just disappear!” I shouted.
“I’m not just a pervert! I’m the perverted gentleman!” He exclaimed.
“At most you’re 20% gentleman! The other 80% are pure pervertedness!” I shouted back.
“… I’m surprised you can see a 20% of gentlemaness on this guy.” Maria commented.
“<Body Sublimation: Unlimited Growth>!” The pervert exclaimed.
“<Body Reformulation: Reject the Forbidden>!” I buffed myself too as I swung my naginata at the pervert, forcing him to step back.
“<Body Sublimation: Unlimited Deepness>!” The pervert buffed himself once more.
“<Spiritual Sublimation: Armaments of the Ethics>!” I buffed myself too.
The pervert then tried to draw closer to me, but I used the extra range of the naginata to keep him away, while Maria’s flames blocked his ranged attacks.
“<Buddha’s Possession: Wind Heaven>!” I used one more buff.
“<Divine Possession: Storming Water Dragon>!” The pervert used yet another buff.
He then punched my naginata’s blade to forcefully get it out of the way, but I used the impact to increase my own momentum and did a circular attack at him.
He was forced to jump back again to dodge that, but then he said, “If you don’t hurry up and defeat me, more and more of my allies will come. This country has gathered grudges from all sorts of people!”
“Yeah? But the Genocider will come soon if you don’t hurry.” I replied.
“I don’t particularly mind having an opportunity for a rematch against her!” The pervert exclaimed.
… I have to wonder how can he seriously say this kind of thing. With the Genocider and some more reinforcements from his side coming… This battlefield will go completely out of control. How can he look forward to that?
“However, this time my purpose is to help the knight rescue the princess, so let’s leave the rematch for another time!” The pervert exclaimed.
“… I’m not letting a pervert like you fulfill your worldly desires with Maria.” I replied.
“I’m not just a pervert! I’m the perverted gentleman!” He exclaimed.
At that moment, he glanced at the fight between Yuu and Hymn’s Guru, so I used the opportunity to attack him with the Naginata.
However, he quickly reacted to it and held my blade between the fingers of his hands. It obviously made a cut, but it didn’t pierce his hand completely… And he didn’t even flinch at that.
“What will be left of me if you remove the gentleman element!?” He exclaimed as he punched me away… Though I was able to keep hold of my naginata at least.
“Of course, nothing but a pervert!” I exclaimed.

(Maria’s PoV)
I feel sorry for Ranka… She is losing about 30% of her HP each time the pervert lands a direct hit on her. She’d have already fallen if it wasn’t for the healing magic.
And well… The fact that she has to deal with that annoying pervert of all possible people doesn’t make it any better.
“I wish someone sane could come here soon…” I muttered to myself.
“Just what are you doing to the people that are trying to help you?” I heard a voice that I didn’t expect to hear here.
“Blossom…?” I turned around and saw that she was behind me, “You came to help me?”
“Reluctantly…” She replied.
“… Did you get paired up with the perverted gentleman perchance?” I asked.
She didn’t reply… Poor girl, that was pitiable.
“Well, if you came to help, then can you untie those ropes, please?” I asked her.
“Huh? Don’t wanna.” She replied.
… Eh? She refused? But she came to help? Did I misshear her somehow?
Let’s ask again… “Uhn… Blossom… Since you came here to help me, could you please untie those ropes?”
“Huh? Don’t wanna.” She replied on the exact same way as last time… “I mean, this is a good opportunity, isn’t it?” She gave me a very evil smile as she said that.
“Why are you smiling like that!? It’s scary!” I exclaimed.
“Well, maybe I can help you out if you beg for forgiveness for all the trouble that you caused last time?” She snickered.
“Huh? Forgiveness!? You were the one that cried at my lap!” I replied.
“I didn’t cry.” She lied.
“You absolutely did.” I told her.
“I did not.” She stubbornly said that, but she was looking away from me right now, and her face was beet red… I mean, come on! She was on my lap and Yuu was watching everything! How can she give such a bold lie!? “Just shut up, you damn shortie!”
“Oh? Showing your true natures now?” I replied.
“My true nature!? You’re the one who has such an absurd high ego that shouldn’t even be able to fit into this tiny body!” She exclaimed.
Oh, that’s it! I won’t forgive you even if you cry and apologize! And I won’t give you a lap pillow again!
I made use of the fact that she was too close to me, and headbutted her!
“Ah! You little…!” Blossom exclaimed.
“I still have room for growth!” I shouted.
“Even I’m taller than you, stupid!” She shouted back.
“You what!? You may be a bit big, but you’re still just a child inside!” I exclaimed.
“Just who is the child!?” She yelled.
“The one that cried on my lap, of course!” I told her.
“Oh, so the ‘saintess’ is a mature person now, is she?” Blossom asked.
“I’m not the one that decided on this stupid title!” I shouted.
“Oh, right, sorry. It was the Hymn’s idol then? My apologies.” Blossom snickered.
“Ah, right, that’s totally my fault… Just like how the second place of Chaos is now doing the goody-two-shoes act of helping her friends out, right?” I asked her.
“Huh!? That’s the kind of thing that the ‘adult I should rely on’ would say!? Isn’t this the argument of a petty child!?” She asked back.
“Oh no, did I hurt you? I’m sorry, should I give you a lap pillow again?” I asked.
“Shortie!” She exclaimed.
“Brat!” I replied.
“Idiot!” She said.
“Stupid!” I told her.
“Small-breasted loli!” She exclaimed.
“Chuuni!” I shouted.
“Why the hell…?” She started saying.
“Do I have to deal with this kind of thing!?” As I exclaimed that, we both headbutted one another.
