The Main Character!: The Hero's Epic Journey Continues!

Virtue Signal

Episode 9 Part 2

You know how you know you see a character get stabbed, or cut in half and then after the commercial break, they're fine. Well, turns out that's not bad writing. It's a freaking superpower!

The figure suddenly slams into me. Orange mist appears around me, masking my movements. I keep hold of all my girls and I launch the enemy into the air instead.

I've already retconned my own death plenty of times. Denying a bit of battle damage is nothing for me!

The Figure kicks off the ceiling and slams into me, smashing me against the floor.

Harem all topple to the ground.

Best Friend fires a blood shot but it doesn't breach the enemy's defense.

A bright light emits from the attackers chest, displaying his emblem like a hologram. "The Virtue Signal calls me!"

Yeah. The signal you put up.

"I, White Night, have come to retrieve what was taken from me," he says in a haughty, exuberant voice.

White Knight is a bulky tank of hero that is fully decked in armor. His hands are equipped with small shields and he has a single massive shield on his back. His eyes glow pink beneath his helmet, hence why I called him a Goblin Scalper cosplayer before. He wasn't wearing his cape before, but it looks like a rainbow. And each shield has an emblem of a fist with Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Why do both him and Harem D have these strange symbols?

"Get off him before your head slides off your body," says Best Friend, creating a blood katana.

White Knight presses his foot down on my chest. "Be careful. If you hit me, I may lose my footing."

"What did I steal from you?" I ask, my hair struggling to lift White Knight off me.

"You've taken the fire behind my courageous spirit! Your lies have fooled the ignorant villagers, but I an immune to their charms."

Even this man hater recognizes how charming this otaku stud is.

"Let's see if you're immune to my blood," says Best Friend, creating a crimson blade.

"Wait! Stand down. I can handle this guy."

"Why do you insist on doing everything yourself?" asks Glasses Kid, slurping some apple juice with a straw.

My hair shoots out into White Knight's knee, giving me an opening to get him off me. I use a nearby stool to hoist myself up. "It's not anything heroic. I just want to show this dick that I can take him down."

"How like a man." White Knight lifts a table and smashes it against my body. "Always solving everything with violence!"

My hair grabs the broken leg stumps and whacks them against the knight but they break on impact.

"My armor is made of Virtunium, the essence of the feminist movement in liquid form!" he exclaims, blocking my hair fist assault with his shields.

"Glasses Kid, care to explain?" I ask, pulling a chair up to me to use as leverage.

"I'm at a complete loss," he says, all arrogance gone from his eyes. "That is the single dumbest thing I've ever heard."

White Knight tosses a broken piece of the table at Glasses Kid. The knight then vanishes, his eye leaving a pink trail. He appears directly in front of Glasses Kid, grabbing the projectile he had thrown.

Before I even realize what's going on, White Knight brings the projectile back into me. My hair runs down my shoulders and grabs the piece, keeping it from piercing me.
