Vol. 2 - Chapter 6.7 - Hill of Bliss (7)
"An… gel…!"
The word came naturally from Excella's lips.
(Such beauty…!)
She was captivated. Reflected on Excella's eyes were the very angels she had seen in her picture books. Since Zhaviest had used his aura to materialize their angelic form, it was natural that their form was the figure that the humans of this world recognized as angels.
Excella blinked her eyes lightly and concentrated on the fight.
(Lord Hero's power, is the ability to be loved by the savage races of this world! If they are angelic beings and not human beings, it should work on them!)
According to lore, the holy power of angels is a power that affects only demons and is harmless to humans.
(I-If that's the case, what on earth, kind of attack is Lord Zhaviest going to unleash!?)
Twelve angels spread their pure white wings. Each of them gently floated into the air and surrounded the hero.
"Guh–!! My ability is not working!?"
The hero let out his voice with a tone of impatience. Indeed, the angels were circling around him without seeming to be moved by the cuteness of the hero. And to his surprise, the angels spoke human languages.
"This child, he's not that cute."
"Well, he's cute, but it's not that cute, or at least not as cute as he says he is."
"That's right. If I had to choose between cute and not cute, I'd say he's cute, but nothing to write home about."
The unexpected attack made Excella's eyebrows twitch.
"Lord Hero is being mocked!! 'Siege, surround, and diss' ——— is THIS the attack of angels!?"
"I don't know. But, it is certain that the abilities of the hero are not as effective as they could be, you know."
(C-Certainly!)
Aina continued to speak calmly.
"I have heard that an angelic race once existed in this world. If they were genuinely from the angel race, Suzuki's ability would have worked. However, those are artificial angels created from the aura of the human Lord Zhaviest. From the looks of it, his cuteness is probably only about 30% as cute as usual, you know."
"Less than half? …!"
"Yeah. But that doesn't mean the cuteness skill isn't working at all. There is a way, you know."
With a serious face, Aina shouted to the hero.
"HEY, what are you doing!!? This is what Pritis is for, isn't it?!"
(That's right! If you want to enhance Lord Hero's natural cuteness, you have Lady Leelou's directly imparted art of Pritis!)
"Suzuki! The angels are multiple! 'Push-up Breast (Tits Persuasion) to Love Shot' would be effective, you know!"
Aina's special Pritis, the one that wiped out the undead within Duma's ship. Aina was advising the hero to use that technique. However...
"P-Pritis's… 48 Gestures… Push-Push…"
"L-Lord Hero!?"
Excella noticed that the hero was acting strangely. The frightened attitude and embarrassed face of the hero convinced her.
(He is embarrassed! He doesn't understand what she is saying!)
"What do you mean by Push-Push, this prick…!"
Aina was clenching her fists in frustration. The angels laughed "hoho hoho ho" as they spun around Suzuki and looked at him, who was making a strange shape in front of his chest that they were not sure if it was a heart or something else.
"Puah– What is that? That gesture?"
"How effeminate. I wonder if he's ashamed of himself."
"Ah, wrong, wrong. It's disgusting. A boy must be strong."
The angels continued to spew scorn as they circled around the hero. Eventually, Excella noticed tears welling up in the corners of the hero's eyes.
"I-Is that the "Flow of Melancholy" perhaps…?"
"Wrong! That's not Pritis! That moron is CRYING like a normal person!!"
"EEEHHH!?"
"Hoho hoho hoho hoho hoho ho"
The angels' taunts and verbal abuse continued. Aina, who had lost her patience, started to shout.
"How long are you going to stand there!? Fight back!"
Aina's voice must have been heard. The hero said in a quiet voice as if it was the hum of a mosquito.
"Y-You are mistaken… I can't get my strength up…"
"Can't get your strength up, was it?"
And then, Zhaviest said while smiling.
"'The energy from the holy light damages the targeted subject.'——— that is the heavenly power converted into an attacking force."
Aina bit her lip at Zhaviest's words. However, as she watched the hero breathing from over her shoulder, Excella felt a sense of discomfort.
She knew that light-element magic could deal a lot of damage to demons. Moreover, if the light magic is powerful enough, it will produce heat and can do some damage to non-magical creatures. However, the light emitted by the angels was so gentle that it did not seem to be enough to harm humans.
(But in fact, Lord Hero is suffering…?)
The hero was barely managing to stand, supported by his hands pressing on his knees. Suddenly, Zhaviest snapped his fingers. The angels surrounding the hero suddenly disappeared.
"I have a rough idea of your power, Lord Hero. Let's end it at this point."
In the middle of Zhaviest's statement, the hero suddenly collapsed on the spot.
