To Protect You - Ros X Fem!Reader

I sat back with Ruki as Samejima and Zwei fought each other. Focus, don't think about (Y/N). (Y/N)...what if she was in danger? Suddenly I was back in the real world, trying not to pass out.

"Anybody who's hit by Samejima's Manly Energy Beam is overcome with manly energy," Janua explained.

"I see," I gasped breathlessly. "And since your magic brought us back to the human world, we're really hurting."

"Wait. If we went back using Ruki-san's gate, wouldn't you not have gotten hurt?"

"I'd get hurt by the gate, too." I started feeling a little better. "Go through it without the suit and a human breaks their ribs."

"Well, the rest of the party is demons and-"

"Janua!" Mii-chan sobbed.

A dark look spread across my face. "Why am I the only one who has to suffer?"

And then someone fell from the heavens, striking at us with a green claw.

"We're okay?" Mii-chan looked down at his paws. We can't be safe after that!"

And then it clicked.

Samejima had the power to take other people's injuries upon himself. There he was, lying in a pool of his own blood.

"Dear god." I stumbled backwards. I may not have known him for long, but I could tell he was a decent guy.

"Mii-chan!" Janua commanded. "What are you doing? Don't turn your back on the enemy! Area we going to use the time Samejima sacrificed himself to give us to be sad?"

"What? I only got one of them?" The assassin looked disappointed. "I guess it's okay, though. He had the most magic power. Let's flatten the rest of you!"

"You're right," Janua mumbled. "Samejima has more physical strength and magic power than I do. But the question is, who's stronger?"

"Nice speech, slant-eyes."

"Was that racist?" I whispered to Ruki. She shrugged.

"It doesn't matter who you're stronger than," the assassin continued. "1,000 years ago Rchimedes-sama was sealed by the hero Creasion. He erected a barrier in a dimensional rift and cast a spell of eternal sleep, and changed himself into a sword that was stabbed into Rchimedes-sama's chest."

Uh oh.

"So that if Rchimedes-sama was ever revived, he would be as well. Do you understand?"

"What are you talking about?" Janua asked. Oh no. I healed Samejima's wounds and continued listening.

"Dezember summoned 12 demons to this world to revive the Demon King, you to provide the means of getting into the dimensional rift, for instance. Zwei to brainwash anybody who opposed him into obeying. So why do you think he summoned me? Why do you think Dezember Zwölf summoned me to this world?" He bared his teeth. "To kill anybody who got in his way."

Shit.
