Chapter 481: The Strongest and Final Pervert

Just like that earlier scene with roles reversed, Mr. Brave was slammed hard and flown backward, smashing through the large window, flying out of the chapel, and falling into the deep sea.

“Whew, whew, whew…”

Himekoji gasped heavily, while sweat mixed with blood dripped down his face.

He showed no sign of relief on his face, only staring unblinkingly at the sea.

If Brave could be beaten so easily, how great that would be?

But reality had no such foolish hopes.

“Swish!”

A sharp sound cut through the air; a fierce sword beam rose from the water and shot straight at Himekoji.

It was fast and unexpected. Himekoji, already weakened, reacted too slowly. He dodged the fatal spot, but a deep wound cutting to the bone ran from his shoulder all the way to his waist. Blood flowed freely.

Brave was serious now.

He reappeared on the ceremonial stage like he teleported.

He held his sword, drenched all over, looking grim but disheveled.

Next came a series of “splash-splash-splash” sounds. A few clueless, dumb fish and shrimp hopped out of Brave’s hair, collar, and waistband onto the red rug of the ceremonial stage, dancing wildly as if they owned the place.

Brave’s face turned sour and awkward at once.

He pushed down the shame inside and forced a smile. Then, gently and carefully, he freed those annoying fish and shrimp back into the sea.

Because that was just like him—an absolute fool who never harmed the innocent.

In brave stories, only such a person could be the hero.

After seeing that unexpected twist, Himekoji felt a bit calmer.

“Cough, cough; alright, let’s keep going.”

After all that, Brave gave a light cough to remind him.

In battle, there was no need to be so honorable.

If Himekoji hadn’t been worn out just then, he would’ve charged in for a sneak attack when Brave was freeing the fish and shrimp. He’d never do a needless, tiring warning like Brave did.

Sadly, his badly hurt and broken body forced him to grab every second to rest and heal.

“W-wait! Give me five minutes—no, ten!”

“Huh?”

When Brave heard this unfair demand from Himekoji, he froze on the spot.

But in the end, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

“Himekoji, are you… are you okay?”

Once they agreed on a break, Rikka rushed in with tearful eyes, hurrying to Himekoji’s side.

She reached out to touch him but pulled back shyly, afraid she might hurt his wounds. His whole body was hurt; it had to be painful.

Why was he risking so much for someone like her?

The Lady of the Wicked Lord’s Eye did it, and now Himekoji too!

Why?!

“It’s nothing; it just looks scary, but I’m okay,”

Himekoji still comforted her.

Yet that only made her feel guiltier and sadder.

Anyone could tell it was all lies.

She was terrified, scared that after the Lady of the Wicked Lord’s Eye, Himekoji would be next.

The next person to die because of her.

She never wanted to feel that agony again!

“Rikka.”

“Yes, I’m here…”

Rikka mumbled through tears, wiping them away.

“Could you buy me a can of coffee? I want MAX Coffee.”

“Mm, yeah! Okay! I… I’ll go now!”

Now, no matter what Himekoji asked for, she couldn’t say no anyway.

How could she refuse?!

“I’ll be back quick!”

Rikka wiped her tears as she promised, not wasting a moment.

She dashed out of the chapel at top speed.

Himekoji watched her figure rush away, and smiled silently to himself.

MAX Coffee was only sold in Chiba; it didn’t exist here at all. Himekoji had searched everywhere just days ago.

“Did you get rid of her?”

On the ceremonial stage, Brave looked down from above.

Himekoji didn’t reply. He roughly wrapped his wound and stood up with resolve.

He’d rested enough; now came the true all-out fight!

“Couldn’t bear for her to see you die?”

Brave’s voice drifted over, slow and pitying.

“How kind of you.”

“Pah!”

Himekoji spat out blood-tinged spit, cutting off Brave.

“Save that talk for when the fight’s over. Hope you’re still around to say it then.”

Himekoji did send Rikka away.

But he had just one reason to do it: to unleash his real full power!

The skill he feared to use, the one he never tried before, the one he thought he’d never need—

Sending Rikka off was to protect her—so she wouldn’t lose her heartbeat or get pregnant before marriage.

Himekoji slowly lifted his head. His sharp, handsome face seemed built to cause pregnancies. His weird eyes—one gold, one red—held a heart-stopping charm so terrifying it could kill on sight.

Hear this!

Now, Himekoji’s pervert-ness and charm were at their peak!

This was his strongest moment and also his last—

Shaped by mistakes, guilt, regrets, sorrow, loneliness, he found new life through hope, dreams, and faith.

The strongest! And also the last!

Pervert!
