I Played the Role of a Hated Hero, but for Some Reason, I'm Loved by the Last Boss and Living W

Cat Girl Assault

Translated by AmaLynne

「Nn~~…… surisuri……」

Behemoth rubbed the tip of her noses against each other in a very cat-like sweetness. The sudden appearance of the beastman froze everyone in place. Beastmen are very rare in this country. Most of them live in the northern continent, and they rarely cross over to other countries. Many of them must have never seen a beastman before in this place. In fact, everyone’s eyes were glued to Behemoth’s cat-like ears and tail.

The first one to break the rigidity was the guild master, Beatrice.

「Welcome.」

As one would expect from a guild master. She immediately responded to the sudden appearance of the beastman with a smile. However, Behemoth only took one look at her and immediately resumed rubbing her nose against my chest.

「My my…」

「Ares… rubs…」

「Hey, why are you here?」

「I follow…」

「I know that! I’m asking why you’re following me!」

「I figured now that you’re away from the Lord, I’d give myself a chance to mate…」

「Pftt!」

「「「Pftt!」」」I’m sure they weren’t caught by me, but the bomb dropped in a moment blew up the people around me. The black coffee mist was blowing up like a fountain in the room, but Behemoth still maintained its nonchalant attitude.

「Let’s get on with it… soon…」

Clear eyes look up from below. This girl is serious. If I’m is not careful, she will do it right here. There is no way that these four powerful demons have any human common sense, to begin with. If they say they will do something, they will do it. They put their own will first, without regard for place, time, or atmosphere. No matter how cleverly they mimic human (or beastman) appearance, they are genuine demons inside.

「―――Ah, there! Hey you, don’t move on your own!」

「My, there they really are. As expected of Phoenix. The one who found mother first.」

My cheeks twitched, another voice forced its way into my ears that I never wanted to hear here. Holding onto Behemoth’s shoulders, I slid my gaze over to the owners of the voices.

And sure enough, there it was. There were two familiar faces. Phoenix was approaching us, and Dragon God was following behind. Two people with a height difference. Third-party might see them as a mother and daughter, or perhaps even sisters.

Well, it doesn’t matter. The problem is the fact that the four strongest demons, excluding Titan, have gathered here. The king of demons who has inflicted tremendous damage on human society. Living natural disasters that have been considered for defeat many times in the past, but no one has been able to accomplish the feat.

I felt dizzy.

Why here of all places!

I probably don’t need to explain it now, but this is the Adventurers’ Guild. It is a den of enemies, so to speak, where many people make their living hunting demons for wealth and fame. Indeed, from their point of view, everyone in this place may be no different from the rest of the crowd. Even if the guild master seriously challenges them, I don’t know if she can take it… and if she does, what happens is the day that this guild… or even the town of Cid, it will be impossible to set foot in the city. Or rather, this town will be blown to pieces!

Sweat erupts from within, making my back feel cold. I had no time to ask the man at the reception desk about the abnormalities of the monsters that he had mentioned earlier, so I slipped the monster map into my pocket.

「Oh, hey! What are you doing!」

I shouldered the approaching Phoenix, pushed the food and drink bill to the appropriate receptionist, took Behemoth and the dragon god by the hand, and fled the scene. I handed over the gold coins, so there shouldn’t be any change. Probably.

「Ah, Alexei-san! He’s gone… what was that?」

◆◇◆◇◆

I left the guild at once, hoping to get out of trouble before it happened, and hid near the portal that Yggdrasil had set up in a back alley the other day.

「A place that’s not popular… here, do…」

「Stop.」

I immediately grab Behemoth’s hand to stop her from stripping. There was no shame in suddenly starting to undress in front of the two of us. And this girl is once again attached to me, sniffing and shaking her cat ears. To be honest, though, I wanted to sit down right now. I let out a sigh as I looked around at all the uninvited people who had gathered here once again.

「You guys. I told you to wait at home this time.」

「I don’t have a choice. Behemoth ran out on its own.」

「It seems that Behemoth’s purpose was to have Ares-sama seed… when she saw an opening. As long as mother doesn’t tolerate it, I thought I should stop her.」

I try to put a hint of refuge in my gaze, but none of them seem to take offense. But the purpose for which Phoenix and the others had come here was still within the realm of understanding. I honestly wished they would not have come if they could have.

「I mean. How did you get here?」

No matter how strong the demons are, it would take a certain amount of time to come from the forest to the town of Cid. Unless the transfer ring made by Yggdrasil… No, wait.

I take Behemoth’s arm and check her fingers. Sure enough, it is. On her slender, supple finger was a shiny silver ring. It is the transfer ring.

「Yu-chan lent me the ring…」

That Loli Spirit~~~~~!!!!

◆◇◆◇◆

「Mm? Yggdrasil, my dear Yggdrasil. What happened to Behemoth and the others? I don’t see the Phoenix or the Dragon God.」

「Hmm~? He-chan and the others~?」

「Umu.」

Demiurge asked the spirit of the World Tree, which took the form of a girl child. She was lying on the sofa in the living room, her legs flapping and dust dancing. On the adjacent sofa was Titan, snoring and showing her back.

Demiurg had just finished his daily routine of supplying mana to the big tree and had returned home after retrieving the Holy Apple from the fountain. However, there was no sign of Behemoth, who would normally have returned from their hunt. She turned her attention outward to see if there was any sign of them nearby, but other than Yggdrasil in front of her, she could only detect Titan’s presence. Where the hell did she go?

「Yggdrasil, do you know anything about this?」

「Ah~ Those three went after A-kun to Cid.」

「…………what, you say?」

Demiurge dropped the Holy Apple in her hand to the floor and stormed Yggdrasil.

「Wh-What did you just say? Where did Behemoth go?」

「I told you~, He-chan, Fu-chan, and Ryuu-chan have gone after A-kun to Cid.

「No, why would they do that? I mean, by any chance, you didn’t give them the transfer ring, did you?」

Earlier this morning, Ares left the ring to Yggdrasil and went out. He did this out of concern that if there were any unusual events in the forest, someone would be able to rush to his doorstep.

「Eh? I lent it though?」

However, the young girl in front of her seemed to have paid no heed to such attentions and handed the ring to Behemoth.

「What are you thinking~~!?」

The room echoed with the angry roar of Demiurge. But the spirit of the World Tree smiles.

「Ehh~, because~!」

Slowly, she got up.

「That’s going to be more interesting~.」

And so on.
