I, the Sacrifice, Somehow Killed the Evil God

★

The gazes of everyone in front of me gather.

All of the participants were dressed in high class clothes, and their appearance was elegant. With their gazes fixed on me, I was impatient at the unfamiliar situation.

The party hall was large, and there were people looking down at me from the entrance with glasses of wine in their hands.

The look on his face was somewhat smug, but he didn’t hide his interest, and I knew I was being judged.

Alice: “Come on, Elt-kun. Don’t just stand there, let’s walk.”

Alice was pestering me from my side.

She is wearing a red dress that is open at the chest and has her arm wrapped around my left arm.

I always thought she was beautiful, but it seems that she wears makeup for special occasions like this, and the people around her seem to be captivated by her beauty.

Elt: “Yeah, let’s go.”

I called out to her to keep pace and we walked into the party where everyone was waiting.

Random Noble Lady A: “I envy you that you have enough wealth to buy a country at such a young age.”

Random Noble Lady B: “I heard that you own the Sky Castle from the fairy tales. I’d like to take a ride in it.”

Random Noble Lady C: “I’ve heard that you defeated the Evil God. I’d like to ask you to teach me some martial arts.”

As we entered, people rushed in as if they had been waiting for us. The eyes glazed over, reminiscent of fierce beasts, and people were closing the distance between us.

Elt: “Yeah, well…”

When I backed away from such people…

Alice: “Excuse me. I’m sorry, but Elt-kun is not used to this kind of situation. Please be gentle with him.”

When Alice said this, the people in the room turned their attention to her.

??: “I believe you are Princess Alice of the Ilkut Kingdom?”

Alice: “Yes, that’s right. You’re Princess Mona from Kiana, right?”

Mona: “Did you know that?”

She looked surprised, perhaps not expecting to be told her name.

Alice: “I met you at a party when my father brought me to your country before, right?”

Alice, with a dazzling smile, said and took Princess Mona’s hand.

Mona: “I’m thrilled that you remember me, even though we didn’t exchange a few words.”

She looked back at the delighted Princess Mona.

Alice: “You are the second Prince from the Kopac kingdom, and you are the duchess of the Ninana Kingdom, right?”

Alice guessed their name one after another. She overwhelmed the people around her.

Random Noble Lady D: “B, by the way, what is Princess Alice’s relationship with Hero-sama?”

One of the people I was talking to asked me a question, as if they had become more comfortable around me.

Her gaze turns to my arms. Alice is still hugging me as she has been since a while ago.

The stares of the people around me became tighter and tighter.

Alice: “Fufufu, how do I look?”

Alice put her hand over her mouth and smiled.

Elt: “I’m not used to going to parties, so she’s am escorting me to make sure I don’t make any mistakes.”

Alice refuses to tell the truth, but if I left her alone, the misunderstanding would spread, so I opened my mouth.

Random Noble Lady E: “W, well. I thought you two were dating because you were such a beautiful combination.”

Elt: “I’m afraid not. Alice is only accompanying me out of the kindness of her heart.”

In fact, I’m pretty sure what I’m saying is true.

I don’t know the etiquette of royalty, nobility and their parties.

The reason why I’m arm in arm with Alice is because I asked her to support me during the party.

Random Noble Lady F: “Well, then, if you don’t mind, why don’t you join me in going around the hall?”

Then one of the ladies reached out her hand to me.

Alice: “Cough. Elt said that he would escort me today. Or perhaps you’d prefer a flower in each hand?”

Elt: “No way, I’ve decided to dedicate this time to you, Alice.”

Alice: “Ara, I’m so glad.”

Alice looked pleased as she got closer to me.

Alice: “Well then, we have to greet the others. I’ll leave you now.”

Alice then pulled my arm and walked away.
