"Beldia is probably fuming. He brewed tea, yet his house still got blown up, and he was stood up for an appointment."
"A role model for knights... No, no, this can only be called a wonderful misunderstanding. She just simply enjoys the pleasure of being tormented."
Everyone corrected Beldia's view with blank expressions. If Darkness were a role model for knights, then the world would truly be beyond saving, filled with nothing but perverts.
Beldia probably never expected a goddess to exist in that team of crazy people, easily breaking his curse.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Watching the scene unfold, even the kind-hearted Mash's eyes became dull:
"Did Beldia-san destroy the galaxy in his past life...? This level of bad luck is unbelievable!"
He didn't do anything, and as a Devil King's General, he didn't even want to kill anyone. Yet his house was blown up every day. Although he was a bit angry, he only gave a warning! His temper was surprisingly good.
And couldn't Megumin blow up somewhere else? Why insist on blowing up Beldia-san's castle? He's such a kind-hearted knight, how could you all lay your hands on him?!
Da Vinci was equally speechless:
"Honestly, I actually see a shadow of a Paladin in Beldia!"
Both his moral standards and code of conduct are far superior to Kazuma's team, which makes Kazuma's situation so awkward... He's actually been outshone by a monster.
.....
[ As Darkness slowly walked out from the crowd, Beldia, who was just incredibly furious, looked as if he had seen a ghost. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
And hearing Darkness, who was praised by Beldia as a knightly paragon, seemed a bit embarrassed: "...Well, I wouldn't presume to call myself a perfect example of chivalry..."
"WHAT—!!" Beldia was so scared that he let out a strange cry, completely unable to believe that Darkness, who had been cursed, was still alive.
Aqua, however, was overjoyed and burst out laughing: "Was that Headless Knight waiting for us all this time? He doesn't even know that the curse was already broken when he left, hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter!"
Aqua's provocation finally pushed Beldia to his limit, and his voice became deep: "If I intended to, killing everyone in town would naturally be an easy feat for me."
Magic light glowed in Aqua's hand: "Just a mere undead, what are you so proud of? TURN UNDEAD!!"
Beldia showed no intention of dodging, looking as if retreating even a step meant he lost: "How could a novice adventurer's magic be effective...?"
"Eeeeeek—!~!"
The moment he was hit by Aqua's magic, the headless horse was immediately purified and disappeared from the spot. The originally confident Headless Knight rolled on the ground, screaming.
Aqua saw Beldia stand up again and suddenly panicked: "Hey, Kazuma, it's strange, the magic didn't work!"
Kazuma's face was covered in cold sweat: "No, it looks like it worked pretty well; he was screaming like crazy."
Beldia looked at Aqua with lingering fear. He was almost purified just now: "Are you really a novice adventurer?" ]

"Darkness isn't the tank—Aqua is, isn't she? She's the one pulling all the aggro."
"Don't look at Aqua like that, she's still a god! Especially against undead monsters, she's their natural enemy. One purification spell almost sent a General away."
Everyone looked at Aqua speechlessly. They originally thought she was just brain-dead, but it turns out her eyes and ears weren't working either.
Didn't she see that Beldia's horse was gone after being hit once? Beldia himself screamed so loudly, did she not hear it? You call this magic not working?!
Does it have to be an instant kill for it to be considered effective? No matter what, he's still a General, so give him some face.

〜Delicious in Dungeon World〜
Marcille let out a long sigh:
"So this is her purpose. She's a god after all, capable of granting salvation to the undead."
It had no effect on frogs, but now, with a single spell, she can purify Beldia's mount and even injure Beldia. So she specializes in attacking evil spirits!
But her personality is a bit too nasty. She was in the wrong first, yet she still mocked Beldia. Are you sure this is something a goddess should do?
Poor Beldia is clearly the victim; when he tried to reason with them, he was attacked. It seems like he's being bullied, doesn't it?
.....
[ Beldia tilted his head in his hand and asked a question from the depths of his soul.
"This town is a gathering place for novice adventurers, right?"
But what was that spell just now? He almost died on the spot.
"Forget it, there's no need for me to do it personally... Undead Knights, let this guy taste the flavors of hell!" As his voice fell, black mist appeared at Beldia's feet, summoning a large number of Death Knights.
"Oh!" Kazuma suddenly shouted, "That guy must be scared because Aqua's magic surprisingly worked."
Beldia stomped his foot anxiously: "No, no, it's not! How could I let the boss fight right away? First, the small fries..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Aqua, who had regained her confidence: "Sacred Turn Undead!"
A huge white magic circle appeared at Beldia's feet, followed by a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!
"Eeeeek—My eyes, my eyes..." Beldia screamed directly, rolling on the ground, black smoke rising from all over his armor.
Aqua's face was again covered in cold sweat, a bit flustered: "Wh-what should we do, Kazuma! My purification magic isn't working at all."
Kazuma didn't understand why Aqua thought so. After all, the other party was howling like that, so it felt very effective. ]

"Is this a novice? No, this is a killer. Beldia, run! You probably can't win against those perverts."
"Aqua... are you selectively blind? He's spewing black smoke and digging into the ground, and you still call that not working?!"
Everyone was almost dying of laughter at Aqua's flustered appearance. She was seriously injuring someone while saying her magic wasn't working... Satan would probably get her tattooed on him; she's a pure demon.
They really wanted to ask Aqua how her little brain connected "not instantly killing" with "not working." If she had just cast two more purification spells, she probably could have sent him away on the spot.
.....
〜OVERLORD World〜
"Beldia is a true man; he's not even flinching."
Inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the Bone King Ainz Ooal Gown instinctively flinched when he saw Aqua's purification magic, wiping non-existent cold sweat from his face.
Shalltear's face was pale, and she patted her chest with lingering fear, thinking for a moment that she was done for.
If those two purification spells had hit her, it wouldn't have been a joke. They could have sent her away in minutes. Weaker undead would probably have instantly knelt.
He didn't expect this Headless Knight to be so capable. He actually withstood two purification spells from a goddess. He really has something.
"The world outside is too terrifying. I will never go out until I figure out if there are such gods out there!"
The Bone King, who had started to battle wits with the air, also began to worry if there were goddesses outside. It would be truly uncomfortable if he encountered a goddess who countered him.
( Translator-kun: Foreshadowing?? )
.....
[ Beldia, covered in black smoke after taking two purification spells from the goddess, also reached his limit: "Forget it, kill everyone in town!"
With Beldia's command, the Undead Knights all charged towards the town. Although they wore ragged armor, they were equipped with defensive gear, which was enough to pose a threat to novice adventurers!
"Quick... quick, call a priest out..."
"SOMEONE GO TO THE CHURCH FOR HOLY WATER!!"
Adventurers' anxious shouts rose everywhere, trying to stop the undead.
The Death Knights began to laugh loudly: "Hahahaha, let me hear your cries of despair..."
Before he could finish speaking, he froze because all the undead were chasing Aqua, and not a single one went towards the town.
"Why are they only coming for me! I'm a goddess, AND I DO GOOD DEEDS!"
Darkness looked at Aqua, who was being chased by the undead, with envy: "How cunning, I also do good deeds, why..."
Kazuma understood in his heart that the lost undead were probably seeking salvation from the goddess according to their instincts! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahahaha, you must attack the goddess with aggro first! Aqua indeed has extremely low luck."
As for Darkness's envious behavior, everyone expressed incomprehension, but they were greatly shocked. The protagonist group was more perverse than the last, while the villain was incredibly proper!
The righteous villain Devil King's army, the evil hero, and the idiotic goddess, the chuunibyo and masochistic teammates, finally understood.
As for Aqua's claim that she did good deeds... Heh, everyone said they didn't see it at all.
And not long ago, she just extorted Mitsurugi. Where was the "good" in that?!
