Faced with the overwhelming power of the Khaos Brigade's Hero Faction, even Kunou lost her composure.
Seeing Kunou and the other Yōkai panicking, I knew my opportunity had arrived.
"Kunou-chan, I can help rescue your mother. However, you'll have to agree to one small condition,"
I said, the corners of my lips curling into a slight arc, effectively taking advantage of the situation.
"A condition? What condition?"
"As long as I can rescue my mother, I'll agree to anything!" Hearing this, hope rekindled in Kunou's heart. She couldn't care less about any conditions now.
"Actually, I've taken a liking to Kunou-chan. I hope Kunou can become my future wife. Of course, we can get to know each other better first—I won't force Kunou-chan!"
I stepped forward, patted Kunou's head gently, and said softly.
"Pfft!!!"
Hearing my words, the surrounding Yōkai were utterly stunned, staring at me dumbfounded.
"A-Are you some kind of pervert?!" Kunou stammered, her face instantly turning beet red as she glared at me angrily.
Asking her to marry him—at such a young age?! This was way too much! Too perverted!
Mother was right! All human boys are lecherous perverts!
"I'm not. It's just that the person I like happens to be an adorable little fox yōkai."
Kunou and the other Yōkai: "..."
"I can agree to this condition, but you must rescue my mother unharmed!" After a moment, Kunou spoke softly, her face flushed with shyness.
Although this guy is a bit of a playboy, a bit lewd, and a bit perverted...
'As the wielder of Excalibur, he's not only powerful but also decent enough.'
'And to save my mother, he'll have to face such terrifying enemies from the Khaos Brigade...'
"Of course~~ She is my future mother-in-law, after all!" I said with a smile.
'M-Mother-in-law?!'
Hearing this, all the Yōkai, including Kunou, were rendered speechless by my shamelessness.
Saying this, I stepped forward, embraced the loli fox Yōkai, and gave her a big kiss.
"Waaah! Wh-what are you doing?!" Kunou's face instantly turned bright red.
Suddenly being hugged and kissed by him made Kunou extremely shy and embarrassed.
At this moment, steam seemed to be rising from the top of Kunou's head.
"What am I doing? Doting on my wife, of course!" I said, holding Kunou and sighing with a smile.
"!!!!!"
Kunou and the other Yōkai heard this, their mouths twitching.
Using this as an excuse to take advantage of Princess Kunou.
And after hearing the word "Wife," the last thread of composure in Kunou's mind snapped!
Under intense embarrassment, Her skin turned a beautiful shade of pink under a blush.
Little Loli Kunou's CPU almost overloaded.
"You haven't saved my mother yet! So I'm not your wife! Don't do anything inappropriate!"
Kunou lifted her chin, hiding her inner shyness, and retorted with a tsundere air.
Looking at Kunou's tsundere appearance, she still looked incredibly beautiful.
"I understand. Kunou-chan, We'll go rescue your mother right now."
Saying this, a magic circle appeared beneath my feet.
The next moment, the array lit up, and Kunou and I vanished, reappearing in the vicinity of Cao Cao and the Hero Faction.
"Princess Kunou!"
Seeing me and Kunou disappear, the Yōkai finally reacted, shouting anxiously.
———
Just then, I had already brought Kunou to the outskirts of Kyoto.
As soon as we stepped out of the magic circle, I sensed several gazes sweeping over me.
At this moment, a thick, purple mist slowly rose from the surroundings, enveloping Kunou and me.
"What is this fog?" Kunou jumped down from my arms, looking nervously at the surrounding fog.
"This is the ability of the Sacred Gear [Dimension Lost]. The ones who kidnapped your mother—they're nearby," I said, gripping Kunou's small hand, giving her a sense of security.
"The ones who captured mother... are Sacred Gear users?! That's right! Back then, mother's guards said they were attacked in a patch of mist." Saying this, Kunou tightly gripped my arm, her voice trembling slightly.
Sensing the panic in Kunou's heart, I waved my hand, and the purple mist was completely erased.
———
Subsequently, Kunou and I saw the scene before us clearly.
Yasaka was bound by various purple runes within a large magic circle.
Surrounding her were the members of the Hero Faction:
Cao Cao, the wielder of True Longinus, whom I had met once before—and Georg, the wielder of Dimension Lost.
The others were warriors trained by the Church using the genetic material of the hero Siegfried.
Siegfried possessed the sub-species Sacred Gear [Twice Critical]—the Demonic Emperor Sword Gram, and several other legendary demonic swords. He was formerly a top-tier exorcist of the Church.
Hercules, a giant who inherited the soul of the Greek mythological Hero Heracles, possessing [Variant Detonation].
Leonardo, a descendant of the genius artist Leonardo da Vinci, wielder of [Annihilation Maker]—and the youngest member of the Hero Faction.
The last one was Jeanne, a blonde beauty who inherited the soul of Saint Jeanne d'Arc, possessing [Blade Blacksmith].
'Except for those three with Sacred Gears, none of the others have triggered a task!!'
——
"MOTHER!"
Seeing the kidnapped Yasaka, Kunou gritted her teeth and glared at Cao Cao and the others, then couldn't help but call out to her mother.
However, Yasaka, whose mind was already being controlled—couldn't respond.
"Your mother is already under control—she won't react. Leave the rest to me," I said.
"Mm~"
Hearing this, Kunou could only look on with a pleading gaze, hoping I could rescue her mother.
At this moment, the members of the Hero Faction also approached me. However, their expressions were varied, seemingly showing strong hostility towards me.
