#439 - The standard routine of romantic comedy
Looking at the church with a nostalgic gaze? That's because it's been a while since I've seen a building with a modern feel.
Looking at the church with a disgusted gaze? That's just because I accidentally thought of the many evils of the Axis Church.
In short, it's all a misunderstanding.
However, no matter how Zunzun explained, the girl who followed him—Erica Brandelli—insisted that he was a descended god.
Zunzun didn't deny this, after all, with a god's body, he could barely be called a god. But she mistook him for Cain, which made him a little angry.
That's a villain.
A villain from the Bible!
To think she sees him as the ancestor of villains, doesn't she think it's too much?
And what does 'disobedient' mean?
I haven't even been made into a myth yet!
"To be able to walk freely in the sun, you must not be the ancestor of vampires. Is the crown inlaid with precious jewels a symbol of lust for power, or is it highlighting the image of a villain? But what about that captivating beauty that leads to depravity? No, is it precisely because of this beauty that you entice others to become bad people…?"
The girl, oblivious to others, continued to analyze, as if trying to determine Zunzun's origins.
"Hey."
"What? Could it be that you want to tell me your origins?"
"I've been telling you that from the beginning."
"A person from another world?… You don't think I'm an idiot who would easily believe such an answer, do you?"
"I really wish you were an idiot."
Zunzun had been telling her from the start that he was from another world, but this girl wouldn't listen to a word he said. If it weren't for the debt of a meal…
"So, what do you want to say?"
"That information is wrong. Vampires can actually walk in the sunlight, they just feel a little tired. Besides, since I'm already a god, how could I be afraid of the sun?"
"…What?"
The girl paused, beginning to chew on the meaning of those words.
"Excuse me, what is the basis for this information?"
"The Fourth Primogenitor I know isn't afraid of sunlight."
"…A person from another world?"
Then, the girl exploded.
Her body trembled slightly with anger, and she held a weapon that looked like a table knife, as if she was about to stab him, but in the end, she endured.
Too bad.
If she had stabbed him, Zunzun could have used a certain someone's "He started it, I was just forced to defend myself, it's not my fault!" excuse to knock her out.
The other party seemed to realize that Zunzun was doing it on purpose, and her tone became somewhat unfriendly.
"Speaking of which, do you have any complaints?"
"What?"
"Isn't it something to be happy about that a beautiful lady like me is traveling with you?"
Zunzun looked at her.
Her long golden hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and her red attire, illuminated by the orange sunlight and contrasted by her golden hair, made the red color even more prominent.
The fiery red and golden hair were like a warrior wearing a crown, with gorgeous decorations on her head.
Coupled with her upright appearance, and her energetic, noble, and confident temperament, she had a face that one would never forget once seen.
But—
"Are you serious?"
"…Compared to your demonic beauty, it's still a little lacking."
Even the confident queen had to lower her proud head slightly when facing Zunzun, admitting that she couldn't compare.
"But, I also have outstanding points!"
She puffed out her chest, stuck out her buttocks, and struck an S-shape. The beautiful curves were indeed very attractive, even better than the models he had seen, a figure that was perfect to the point of exaggeration.
"It's very prominent, but you're quite unwilling to lose when comparing figures with a man."
"Because I am a Crimson Devil."
That's right, a Crimson Devil of the Copper Black Cross.
It was thanks to her—Erica Brandelli, announcing her affiliation, coupled with Sardinia and her speculation about the gods, that Zunzun realized which world he had come to.
—Campione.
People have woven all kinds of myths, and myths have created all kinds of gods. The gods should have maintained their proper roles in their respective myths, so that the world could operate normally, but not all gods obediently comply with their mythical roles. These are called—Disobedient Gods.
Erica had mistaken Zunzun for a Disobedient God.
And as the Disobedient Gods bring disaster, some people who can defeat them are called Campiones.
"To think this is such a dangerous place…"
"How rare, I didn't expect a god to be afraid."
"Gods also drink until they vomit, often go crazy, work on construction sites, and are very enthusiastic about performing talents in public."
"Leaving aside the previous ones, what's with liking to perform talents for people?"
"Because I am a god from another world."
Zunzun spread his hands, and Erica frowned slightly in anger after hearing the words "another world", obviously taking it as Zunzun teasing her again.
Sigh…
Yes, after all, no one would believe that such a guy is a goddess. All worship of gods has been shattered, oh.
You agree, right, Aqua.
Erica suddenly said at this time: "Speaking of which, I still don't know your name."
"Hmm? That's strange, weren't you certain that I was Cain? Why do you want to know my name now?" Zunzun was a little curious.
"Because you said you weren't Cain. Of course, it's also possible that I guessed wrong."
"It's because you guessed wrong."
Under her probing gaze, he reported his name.
"—Zunzun."
"I understand."
"You accepted it so easily?"
"What's wrong?"
"Well…"
After all, the name 'Zunzun' sounds like a joke. It would be more reasonable to see expressions like Dullahan, Walburga, and the others, as if they were thinking, 'Are you kidding me?'
"This should be a pseudonym, right?"
"No, it's my real name. But besides this name, I have two other names."
"So that's how it is. A Trinity God, huh?"
"Hey— — — —"
Seeing Erika's calculating look, could this guy have been deliberately trying to trick me?
"Listen, my patience is limited. Frankly, your act of kindness is almost used up. If this continues, I might just blow up, you know."
"But weren't you the one who lied first? Saying your name was Zunzun or something..."
"Ugh!"

Unable to refute.
That joking name certainly makes it easy to misunderstand.
"Fine! Since that's the case, then listen carefully. My other two names are— —"
"Awoo— — — — — —"
Just as Zunzun was about to tell her his past life and the life before that, a deafening roar of a wild beast suddenly came from afar, stimulating people's eardrums and making them involuntarily cover their ears.
"That is...!?"
Looking towards the distance.
Appearing in the center of the town was a huge black boar, roaring to the sky as if declaring its existence.
The beast was about 50 meters tall, and every time it advanced, the ground would shake violently. Every time it roared, the glass of the buildings would vibrate and then shatter. Every time it charged, several buildings would be smashed to pieces.
Below the giant black boar came the screams of many pedestrians.
"Disobedient God... No, Divine Beast!"
At some point, Erika had changed her clothes. The bright red dress had been replaced with more mobile trousers, and she held a delicate rapier that looked like a work of art.
Zunzun could see that this sword contained a large amount of magic power and was obviously not an ordinary item.
And now, this rapier was pointed at him.
"Did you do this?"
"...What?"
"I know that after a Disobedient God speaks his name, he will forcibly summon his avatar with the power of words. That giant beast is a part of you, right? Quickly dispel it, or I'll be impolite!"
"No, it's a misunderstanding."
That boar, which was obviously one of the ten avatars of the Disobedient God Veleslana, had nothing to do with Zunzun.
Erika stared at Zunzun, the screams of the people ringing in her ears. After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip, turned around, and ran towards the boar in the distance that was still destroying the streets, her slender legs constantly stepping on the walls, disappearing in a few moments.
As expected of a knight, just like Darkness, they care about ordinary people.
It's just that I'm a little unhappy that she pointed her rapier at me just now.
Oh, is that so!
Zunzun suddenly understood.
Being ignored at the beginning, then drawing closer with the kindness of a meal, then misunderstanding and exchanging harsh words, and finally resolving the misunderstanding and making her secretly admire him—isn't this the standard romantic comedy trope!?
Wouldn't that mean that if Zunzun ran over to help now, he could gain the beauty's secret admiration?
Okay— — — —
...Let's go back.
Like hell I would go. He's too lazy to do this kind of thankless job. Even Satou Kazuma would leave decisively if he knew this was a risky and unnecessary thing to get involved in.
Therefore, Zunzun walked in the opposite direction.
However— —
"Ah— — — —"
A scream came, and an object fell from the sky. Zunzun subconsciously stretched out his hands. Along with the powerful downward force, the soft touch of a girl's body was transmitted to his mind.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Looking at the golden-haired girl being princess-carried in his arms, and then looking at the giant boar in the distance, he sighed at how far she could be thrown.
Just as Zunzun was about to quietly slip away and wait for someone else to clean up the mess, he never expected that the boar would face him and charge over with the force of a wild boar.
Huh???
Zunzun could clearly feel that this giant boar had locked onto the tiny him—not the huge buildings behind him, nor the unconscious Erika in his arms, but him himself.
What exactly is going on?
— — — —
Erika Brandelli, a genius of the Red Copper Black Cross, a prestigious name in the magic world, inherited the name of her uncle [Crimson Devil] at the young age of 16, thus developing a young and arrogant personality.
She believed that she had already caught up with the strength of her uncle, who was 'able to fight a Godslayer', so she believed that both Godslayers and Disobedient Gods were only slightly stronger than her.
And this arrogance was shattered by the Disobedient God... No, just a clone of the Disobedient God.
"I..."
"Oh, you're awake?"
When Erika slowly opened her eyes, she found a light blue light cluster and a familiar face in front of her.
"Perfect timing, it's about to be finished."
"Finished...?"
Erika looked blankly ahead, only to see the boar that had easily knocked her away was constantly ramming into them—but they were all blocked by a thin film.
But the ferocious fangs and the mountain-like body of the violent black boar still made people feel scared and a little afraid to face it.
"You can close your eyes if you're scared."
Zunzun said, then his chest swelled, as if chanting a spell, and he declared loudly.
"—Shatter the logic of the Flame Crown, destroyer deeply influenced by the crimson lotus, if you prove your name here again, transform into the existence that desires to break through violence and recklessness, appear from the ranks of the spirits! Fairy Spirit · Demon Flame Dragon!"
A Demon Flame Dragon with a length of 100 meters suddenly appeared in the air.
"—Dragon's Breath!"
"Roar— — — —"
The next moment, like the staff of God, a beam of light fell from the sky, dyeing the entire field of vision white, and the ears also fell into distortion.
Boom— — — —
World peace!
