"Hey? Are you mocking me? Are you looking down on me? Watch out, I might really come after you!"
"Come just come, who is afraid of you!"
"You wretched little girl!"
"I'm not a little girl!"
"She's clearly a little girl!"
"certainly not!"
"that is!"
"no!"
"..."
The two suddenly started arguing, and the tense atmosphere vanished instantly.
"Brother Shi, I suddenly want to see more about what's going on?" Sato Kazuma couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"Calm down, why haven't you adapted to this world yet?"
"...It may take a little more time."
"come on."
"Cough cough."
"Ugh—I can't take it anymore, you little loli, do you really want to die?"
The headless knight suddenly roared in a frenzy, "Are you trying to cause me trouble? Even though I've fallen into the demonic path, I was originally a knight. I have no interest in killing the weak, but if you want to continue bothering me, then I'll have to teach you a lesson."
Huihui retorted just as fiercely, "We're the ones being bothered, okay? It's all because you stayed in that castle and wouldn't leave, causing us to lose our jobs. We were planning to buy a house, but you ruined everything..."
"Heh, who cares about you? I'm going to make you suffer."
The headless knight sneered, then stretched out his left hand, pointing his index finger at Huihui.
"Your death is hereby announced. You will die in one week!"
A ball of dark purple magic shot from the headless knight's hand toward Megumin, and just then, Darkness suddenly rushed in front of Megumin.
"Huihui, watch out—wait, wait, wait, wait!"
Before Darkness could even spread her arms to cover herself, Shichen grabbed her ponytail and pulled her backward.
"You don't need to stop this."
Shichen smiled gently, released Darkness, and reached out to catch the headless horseman's curse.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the moment the dark purple cursed magic touched Shichen, it immediately began to tremble like a flame blown by the wind, and then, with a "bang," it dissipated.
"What? What happened?"
The headless horseman asked incredulously, "Who are you? Why didn't my curse work?"
"Who? Of course, it's the person who's really bothering you."

"What do you mean?" the headless horseman asked, puzzled.
"You might not believe it, but actually I took Huihui to blow up your bunker."
"what?"
The headless horseman seemed to be stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"you guess."
"..."
Kola kola~
The headless horseman began to tremble again, his armor and helmet making a creaking sound; he was enraged.
Why would you let it guess?
Do you really think it's just there to play along with them?
"What's wrong with you guys? Are there any normal people in this newbie village? Why are you acting so cocky in front of me, a cadre of the Demon King's army? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"So why don't you kill us?" Darkness asked directly.
"..."
"No, there's no ulterior motive, is there?" Youyou asked uncertainly.
"Shichen, what exactly is its purpose?" Huihui turned to ask Shichen.
How do you know I know?
"Didn't you take me to the Sky-Bomb Castle? You must have known it lived there, right? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Okay, that's about right."
"Wow—Brother Shi is so amazing! He even knows what the Demon King's Army's officers are planning to do." Sato Kazuma was very excited.
With Tokiko acting so confidently now, and with Aqua by his side, he has absolutely no reason to worry about anything going wrong.
"What does Time want to do?" Aqua asked, leaning closer.
"Isn't it because of you?"
"Huh? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"This guy is actually here to investigate the sudden fluctuations in divine power that occurred earlier, and that was when you came down."
"What? So that's how it is? You, a mere immortal, dare to investigate me? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"It was already dead, wasn't it?" Kazuma Sato retorted.
“That’s right, then let it be completely destroyed!” Aqua stormed up to the headless knight.
"...And who are you? By the way, how do you know why I'm here?" the headless knight asked Shi Chen incredulously.
"Isn't this simple? The only one who can threaten you is the goddess, and there was such a big commotion before... What else could you be here for?"
"You're so smart? And you're so handsome too? It's outrageous! But thankfully you're a lolicon."
"...You still dare to call me a lolicon? You're asking for death!" Shi Chen's face darkened.
"Oh? Commendable courage. Although I don't know how you blocked my curse just now, you don't think you can beat me, do you?" The headless knight was very confident.
After all, this is just a beginner village, and he is a cadre of the Demon King's army. How powerful can a few complete strangers in front of him be?
"Hey! Have you forgotten about me?" Aqua interrupted, annoyed.
"You? Who are you?" The headless knight finally looked properly at Aqua.
"Hmph! I am the High Priestess, specializing in dealing with undead like you!" Aqua proudly introduced herself with her hands on her hips, without revealing her goddess identity.
"The High Priest? That is indeed a bit troublesome. But no matter what, I am one of the cadres of the Demon King's army. I am not so lowly as to be purified by a low-level High Priest who stays in a town like this. Besides, I also have the means to deal with High Priests... By the way, what exactly do you mean by 'related to you'? Do you have a relationship with the goddess?"
The headless knight seemed completely at ease.
"You're so long-winded! You're clearly an undead, yet you're so arrogant. This is outrageous! Disappear! Turn undead!"
Aqua, too lazy to waste words with the headless knight, directly unleashed her magic upon it. White light spread out from her towards the headless knight, quickly closing in on it.
However, the headless rider remained calm and composed, showing no fear of Aqua's magic and no intention of dodging.
As a cadre of the Demon King's army, it must be quite confident in itself.
"Heh~ Did you think the Demon King's army officers would go to the battlefield unprepared to deal with the priests? I'm under the protection of His Majesty the Demon King, and I have a very high resistance to holy magic... Aaaaaah—!"
Before the headless knight could finish speaking, he was enveloped in a soft light and immediately screamed in agony.
"W-what's going on?" it asked, trembling and somewhat incredulous, ignoring the smoke coming from its body.
"Huh? That's strange. Why isn't it working for me?" Aqua scratched her head, a little confused.
"It's still working," Shi Chen said with a smile. "Look, it's already emitting black smoke, isn't it? It's effective. Let's do it again."
"That's not right. Normally it should just disappear completely, how could it just be emitting smoke?"
"After all, he's a Demon King's subordinate, so a few more times will do."
"That seems to make sense, then I'll..."
"What a beautiful thought!"
The headless knight suddenly reached out and interrupted Aqua's spellcasting.
"I admit you're very capable, but you have absolutely no manners towards me. Don't you guys have any basic courtesy? When facing an enemy, don't you know to introduce yourselves first?"
"Who wants to introduce yourself?! Just die already! Take this..."
"and many more!"
The headless knight interrupted Aqua again, saying in a calm tone, "Since you are unwilling to introduce yourselves, then I will go first. I was a knight in my previous life, and I must still show some basic courtesy."
The horse beneath the headless horseman began to back away in small steps, but no one paid attention; instead, they listened to it begin to introduce itself.
"I am Beldia, one of the Demon King's officers, the Headless Knight Beldia! I have this armor specially blessed by His Majesty the Demon King, and with my own power, the exorcism magic of ordinary priests is completely useless against me... Hmm, that should be it... Um, let me ask you, what is your current level? Are you really a newbie? This town is a gathering place for newbies, right?"
"Who cares about you? Take this 'Turn Undead' (Holy Exorcism) again!"
"Aaaaah—! You, how can you be so uncivilized?"
"Huh? Why is it still not working?"
Everyone says I'm useless to them...
"Ah! This guy is trying to escape!" Huihui suddenly shouted.
Her shout drew everyone's attention, and only then did they realize that the Headless Horseman had somehow drifted further and further away from them.
"I know, this thing is afraid of Aqua's magic, it's trying to run away!" Darkness shouted.
"I'm not trying to run away!"
The headless horseman retorted, "I... I just didn't want to lower myself to the level of you insignificant characters."
