I Formed a Party with a Girl via an Adventurer Matching App - Chapter 49

 The Stratagem of Rank 1

Not even a few meters away, Susie layout unconscious after her desperate struggle. Seemingly completely oblivious to this, Jonathan spoke to Evangeline.

"Your report was so delayed that I grew worried and came to check on the situation, but it appears my concern was entirely unnecessary. To think you would neutralize the two of them so effortlessly."

Jonathan moved his wings up and down with an air of deep satisfaction, then commanded Evangeline.

"Now, Evangeline. Hurry up and finish these two off!"

The two target adventurers were currently fast asleep, blissfully dreaming away. And Evangeline, who was casting the magic to manipulate those dreams, remained in physical contact with their shoulders. All that was left was for her to bared her monster-like talons and slice their heads off, and everything would be over.

Jonathan felt a brief wave of shame for having worried so much just because two of the Four Heavenly Kings had been defeated. An incredibly anticlimactic curtain call was about to be delivered to the Demon King’s Army.

...Or so it should have been.

However.

"Huh? Why?"

Evangeline herself looked up at Jonathan with eyes that genuinely conveyed she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

"Huh? What do you mean 'why'...? Wait, what?"

Jonathan stammered, entirely caught off guard by her response.

"Wait, uh... excuse me, maid over there. Did I just say something wrong?"

In his sheer confusion, he accidentally found himself asking the maid who had been blown across the room against the wall.

He had been acting all cool and pretending not to even notice her presence, but naturally, when a maid actively charges at you, you tend to notice. But the maid... Susie was completely knocked out, so she couldn't answer Jonathan's question.

Left with no choice, Jonathan turned his attention back to Evangeline.

"Now, Evangeline. Hurry up and finish these two off!" 

"Uh, why did you just say the exact same thing twice?" 

"Well... I thought perhaps you didn't hear what I said correctly..." 

"I heard you fine. You're telling me to kill these guys, right?" 

"Yes! If you heard me, then come on, hurry up!" 

"No way." 

"Why on earth not?!" 

"Because then I won't be able to have sex with them." 

"What does that even mean?!"

Jonathan shrieked in absolute shock.

He couldn't comprehend why Evangeline would choose this exact moment to turn traitor. Had they bribed her with something before he arrived to check on things? She wasn't the kind of woman to cater to such things, but her opponents were the ones who had slaughtered half of the Four Heavenly Kings. Perhaps they had used some kind of underhanded trick.

Regardless, it was clear that Evangeline was utterly useless right now.

In that case...

"...Tch! Enough already."

In that case... Jonathan himself, the right hand of the Demon King, would have no choice but to slay these two with his own hands.

"Evangeline, you had better spend this time thinking up a good excuse for the Demon King later!"

With those words, he brought his clenched fist forward with every ounce of his strength.

No. He tried to bring it forward.

"Gah...?!"

However, things didn't go as planned.

"M-My body... won't... move...?!"

He was forcibly restrained mid-punch, his body frozen with his right arm awkwardly extended. Wondering what on earth was happening, a dark shadow caught the edge of his vision.

A slender, winding, long shadow had wrapped itself entirely around Jonathan's body, binding him tightly. And tracing its origin... the root of the shadow extended right from Evangeline's plump, adorable rear.

"Th-This is... Evangeline's tail?!"

It appeared Evangeline had captured Jonathan using the tail growing from her backside. Though the tail was supple, it was incredibly powerful; no matter how much strength Jonathan exerted, there wasn't even the slightest sign of it snapping.

"Why?! Why are you doing this?! Why are you taking the side of these two?!"

There was the sheer shock of being so easily captured by Evangeline, who was supposed to be lower in rank. But right now, prioritizing the assassination of the targets in front of him was paramount.

As Jonathan struggled desperately to break free from the tail, Evangeline gave a slow, casual tilt of her head.

"When was your glory days, huh?" 

"M-My glory days...?" 

"Was it back during the All-Demon-Realm tournaments?" 

"What even is the All-Demon-Realm...?"

Before he knew it, a sinister, eerie light was burning intensely within Evangeline's eyes. And Jonathan recognized the true nature of that light. Precisely because he was an executive of the Demon King's Army who had engaged in countless battles against humans, he knew exactly what it was.

"As for me... you wanna know when my glory days are...?"

Simultaneously, he realized that the strength of the tail binding him was rapidly increasing. The black, rope-like tail began to constrict with a crushing force, making a grinding sound that completely disregarded Jonathan's hardened skin.

"For me, it's right now!"

The true nature of the light reflecting in Evangeline's eyes... It was the unmistakable light known as "intent to kill."

"W-Wait, Evangeline! I get it! I surrender! I'll let these two go! So, hurry up and undo this ta—" 

"My glory days are the threesome sex I'm about to have with the two of them, you know!?!?" 

"What on earth are you even talking about!?!?!?"

Those became Jonathan's final words.

...When the two of us finally woke up from our long, intense wet dream, the room had been turned into a scene of absolute devastation.

"I wonder what exactly happened here?" 

"I don't have the slightest clue."

First of all, for some reason, the room was littered with the scattered, exploded remains of what appeared to be a monster. Chunks of flesh were splattered everywhere, and thick green blood had sprayed all the way up to the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Susie was collapsed over by the wall. It looked like she had been knocked unconscious.

Also, the inside of my underwear was incredibly, absurdly gooey. This was, without a shadow of a doubt, a nocturnal emission from my dream. The thought of taking off my underwear later filled me with a sense of dread, but honestly, at this point, it was almost something to look forward to.

And then...

"Are you guys satisfied? So, about that threesome sex with me? You're gonna keep your promise, right?"

Welcoming us with a bright, beaming smile, Evangeline acted as if none of the carnage around her was even in her field of vision. For some reason, her tail—now heavily stained with green fluids—was wagging innocently from side to side, looking exactly like a dog overflowing with pure joy.
