NAOFUMI POV

After I got into a fight with Motoyasu, the people around us started fighting when suddenly fire started raining from the sky.

Naofumi: what the!?

Motoyasu: What's going on!?

When both the fire died down and the people stopped fighting, a Yian Kut-Ku and Ryuji landed between me and Motoyasu.

Ryuji: what the heck is everyone doing!!?

Motoyasu/Naofumi: Ryuji!?

Ryuji: Motoyasu, Naofumi, why are you two fighting?

Motoyasu: Naofumi has taken an angel as a slave, and I'm gonna free her from his grasp!

Ryuji looked at me with confusion.

Ryuji: Angel?

Naofumi: he's talking about Filo

Ryuji: so Motoyasu is a lolicon?

Naofumi: pretty much

Motoyasu: h-hey don't call me that! Besides, it's my job as a hero to save an angel

Ryuji: then why do you have to fight in a public place? You could've killed someone

Myne: surround them!

Suddenly that bitch ordered some knights to surround me and Ryuji then pointed their swords at us.

She then brought out a scroll with some kind of decree on it.

Myne: ladies and gentlemen, I declare this an official duel between the spear hero and the shield hero, all thanks to the royal crown which was vested to me the authority to do so! *grin* So sir Ryuji, if you and your monster would kindly stop interfering I won't have the knights arrest you

Akashiro: *growl*

Ryuji: if you want these two to have a duel, then why does it have to be in the middle of town?! People could get hurt!

Myne: *smirk* that's not my problem

Naofumi: *angry* (just how rotten can this woman get?!)

Before things could escalate further, a voice called out to the guards from behind me.

???: put your weapons away!

The knights quickly knelt down.

I turned around and saw Melty accompanied by some knights and Filo.

Melty: I absolutely forbid the heroes to fight amongst themselves.

I got very confused about why the knights kneel and why the bitch flinched.

Myne: w-what are you doing back here!?

Melty: it has been way too long, dear sister

Naofumi: *shock* (sister!?)

Motoyasu suddenly held Filo's hands.

Motoyasu: Filo... That is what they call you, isn't that right?  

Filo: *nod* mm-hmm

Motoyasu: oh, you poor thing. I bet that Naofumi is working you like some sort of beats of burden?

Filo: but I like pulling the carriage a lot

Ryuji chuckled at how Filo's answer made me look like a villain.

Naofumi: *annoyed* you don't have to answer him!

Motoyasu: Naofumi you swine... You make her pull your wagon like that dumb bird!?
