Reincarnated as an affinity-less hero, the quest to become the strongest!

Chapter 50: Let the Tides Rise

(AN: Yay ;3;)// 50th Chapter!!! So proud of myself. I seriously thank you all for reading my story and keeping up with my irregular schedule. I love you all <3

With that, the chapter!

Enjoy!)

""EVERYTHING!!!""

Myria and Scarlet exclaimed at the surprised Amanda who seemed to be taken aback far more than us. She looked quite cute if I was fully honest. It looked like any other flustered high school girl after all. But that is, of course, if we're completely ignoring the fact she's almost as strong as Azazel, Scarlet's father and could likely render Scarlet and Myria unconscious in a matter of minutes...

Yeah... I'm not really sure how her personality works...

"Wah, why?!?! I did nothing wrong?!?!"

Amanda loudly declared in confusion while she flinched thanks to the sudden accusation from my friends. I mean, I would've likely reacted the same way if I was in her position, but her reactions were just a bit over-the-top.

Same, thing for Myria and Scarlet actually...

"THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE STRONGER THAN US!!!"

Both Myria and Scarlet looked like they had just been told the most unbelievable thing ever. I would probably be startled too if I was randomly told an easily flustered girl was stronger than me as well but isn't she a demon general? They are supposed to be strong right?

...

'Hmmm, quite strange'

I kept pondering over the possibilities as my friends carried out their accusations when suddenly, Amanda's expression changed completely. It went from a deep confused state to a relieved and a rather calm expression.

This threw me off, forcing my focus to immediately shift to her as I was not expecting her to react this way.  And as she began regaining her composure, she opened her lips once again in a strangely soothing and satisfied voice.

"Oh, that? Don't worry Scarlet-sama, Myria-sama. I'm not stronger than any of you."

...

'What...?'

'She's joking right...?'

I literally just saw everyone's statuses...

That Amanda girl is a lot stronger than Myria and Scarlet. Even both of them fighting Amanda at the same time would prove to be hard.

I was left wondering in confusion regarding Amanda's seemingly trustful and innocent voice. But as I was spacing out, I heard a quite deadly and obviously familiar voice headed my way.

"Reika-Chan~n, you weren't lying, were you~?"

"Wut?"

"Were you lying?"

Yeah... It was obviously Scarlet who was almost literally staring daggers at me. It seemed as if one of her forehead veins was ready to pop at any minute. I was not really sure why she was mad this time. I mean, it is clear that Amanda is lying, right? I guess, she's still mad of everything that has happened up to now, huh?

Anyways, I know I hold the truth this time! My ability is quite literally impossible to break or override. As such, I don't mind committing on this, if it means to gain back Myria's and Scarlet's trust.

And thus, without waiting a single more second for doubt to take over, I immediately replied quite loudly:

"No! Of course, I wasn't! Believe me god's sake!"
