《Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master》
Prologue
Prologue
What¡¯s the point of getting stronger in a world without the Great Demon King? That was my excuse for being unable to scale that wall.
Even though people around me im that I am ¡°talented,¡± I was never called a ¡°genius¡±, a ¡°monster¡±, or the ¡°Second Coming of the Hero¡±.
There were times when I showed the result of my efforts.
However, the words said at such times were always the same.
¨D¨D As expected, he¡¯s the son of a Hero
It doesn¡¯t feel like I¡¯m being praised.
And then, the words usually said during my off days, when results were lower than usual.
¨D¨D In the end, he¡¯s still immaturepared to his father the Hero
It felt so annoying!
Is it because I¡¯m so spoiled that my heart gets dispirited?
My father, one of the heroes who saved the world, married my mother, one of hisrades, and I was born.
I was raised without any inconvenience in a peaceful era without war.
The country I reside in is the Depaltia Empire, which is considered to be the leading country of the world. Its level of civilization and economy may be the best in the world.
Pampered, my wealthy family usually got me whatever I desired.
Even attending the academy isn¡¯t an issue.
That is how I was raised, thoroughly pampered yet receiving the best education possible.
And I was better than the ¡®average¡¯. Intellectually and athletically.
So, until I hit that wall, and I never had to worry about the future.
¡°He will seed his father and be a warrior of the Imperial Army.¡± Without a doubt that was the path I was going down.
But having bumped into the wall as I progressed, I was suddenly concerned with how I¡¯m being evaluated by the adults and people around me.
No matter what the result, no matter what I do, the title of ¡°Son of the Hero¡± always followed me.
I would always bepared to them, and my power would be inferior to that of my parents who were too great.
Believing that one day the blessed genes from my parents would awaken within me, I was consumed with improving myself through bloody efforts.
However, I was still unable to obtain the evaluation which exceeded parents.
On the contrary¡
The children of the other Heroes are full of wonderful talents. They will mature splendidly from now on, and lead the human race.
¨D¨D However, ¡®he¡¯ is not enough.
¨D¨D His genes should hold the most talent, but¡¡ he¡¯s merely¡ talented.
¨D¨D He¡¯s not even close to the geniuses who have real talent.
¨D¨D I had high hopes, but my son is a mess.
Compared with the children of thepanions in the same hero party as father and mother, and I should have simr expectations as most of them from surroundings, but nobody has high hopes to me any longer, and I was treated as inferior.
Actually, I¡¯m not a failure. I¡¯m obviously more capable than the norm.
Since then, the privileged position of being the son of a hero hase to feel more like a curse.
I¡¯m me.
Notice me.
I want to be free. I want to go to a world where I won¡¯t get caught up in that title.
At the age of fifteen, I was in my rebellious phase.
And during that phase, my path will be twisted contrary to the expectations surrounding me, brought upon by the fateful encounter which urred.
¨D¨D Child¡ Can you hear my voice? Do you recognize my presence?
In the first ce, I had no idea how such a thing was possible.
¨D¨DTen years alone with naught but boredom. You are descendant of my arch enemy but if I can kill time by possessing you there is no other choice. 1
The Great Demon King, the nemesis of all mankind who in the past the races of the world came together as one and overthrew.
However, his soul was unable to pass on, and it remained in this world.
I don¡¯t know why I was the only one who could perceive the ghost of the Great Demon King. No one else could, not even my father.
But we still met.
¨D¨D Hoh~?¡ feeling rebellious are we? You want to get back at your father? Do you want to get back at the world?
And it was there a strange codependent life begins.
¨D¨D I have a grudge against your father. Therefore¡¡ shall I grant you the power to surpass your father?
He¡¯s a ghost, and he can¡¯t talk to anyone but me. He can¡¯t do anything but haunt me and stay by my side.
The Great Demon King who canmunicate only with me and see only what I see offers whispers of the devil as a means to pass the time.
¨D¨D I shall guide you. I shall teach you anything, whether magic, martial arts, summoning, or wisdom. All I have is free time.
What would have happened if I hadn¡¯t met him back then?
There was a time when I thought of such a thing.
I could have epted the evaluations of those around me and lived a happy and peaceful life.
But even so, I¡¯ll always say I¡¯m d to have met him.
Even though meeting him, still lead to ¡®the worst day of my life¡¯.
The worst day of my life.
To talk about it, I¡¯d have to go back to the day I first met him.

Chapter 1 - The Wall of Genius
Chapter 1 ¨C The Wall of Genius
Tranted by: Sads07
The Imperial Warrior Academy.
Three years had already passed since I entered the academy, and the results for end-of year written exam were posted.
My name is easy to spot.
¨C 1st ce: Phianse Depaltia, [1] 2nd ce: Earth Lagann
Yes, it¡¯s the second from the front. So it¡¯s easy to find.
For the past three years, my grades have always fallen within the top 10, so it¡¯s no surprise to me.
However, I have never been in first ce.
And, it wasn¡¯t just the written tests but in practical exams as well.
¡°Oooooooooooh¡±
¡°Naive... I see through everything you do, Earth.¡±
My abilities are better than that of most people. However, it¡¯s not as big a margin as anyone¡¯s.
¡°Thunder Spell ¡¾Kilo Thunder!¡¿¡±
¡°The power of the spell is much better thanst week. You seem to have put a lot of effort in a short period of time, but... it¡¯s within my expectations.¡±
¡°What the?!¡±
I realized that there was a real genius in my vicinity who far surpassed me.
A genius I can¡¯t beat, even if I studied enough to break my pen or swung my weapon around till I¡¯m out of breath.
¡°See, you¡¯re about to lose your footing.¡±
¡°Whoa, whoa, damn, whoa, who aarrrgh¡±
¡°With this... it¡¯s my win.
Today, I faced her head on, but ended up down on the ground.
¡°Mock battle over. Winner, Phianse!¡±
Then, as Iy on my back on the ground, I look up to the sky again right as the cheers started.
¡°Oooooh, it¡¯s great. An overwhelming victory for Princess Phianse!¡±
¡°Three years and still undefeated... will the streak stand until graduation?¡±
¡°Lady Phianse... so lovely.¡±
¡°Beautiful and Intelligent as well... truly she is a child prodigy in whose body flows the blood of His Majesty, Emperor Solja, who was said to be the strongest spearman of the Seven Heroes.
¡°Yeah. Earth is not weak, but he hasn¡¯t beaten Phianse once.¡±
Outdoor on the exercise field! I sighed to the sound of my ssmates in the open air.
In the end, I¡¯m only hearing the samements as usual.
¡°Are you alright, Earth?¡±
¡°NNngh?!¡±
¡°Your magic power and sword skills have improved in such a short time. I recognize the effort. But you have yet to master it as a ¡¾Magic Sword¡¿ art.¡±
And, it sounded like something said by the winner looking down on the loser, even though it is usually taken as praise for a worthy opponent after a good match.
¡°As you are now, won¡¯t you be a disappointment to your father, the hero. Earth?¡±
¡°I, Ick, the dignity, princess...¡±
A woman with beautiful long golden hair that has a slight roll. With dignified expression and eyes, and pure white hands and feet that seem to have never touched dirt.
She has a tall and slender figure. Yet so curvaceous you could feel her motherhood.
She is dressed in white short-sleeves and half-pants like everyone else, but her divine aura and presence make her feel different.
¡°Hey, at the academy we¡¯re all equal. We are even childhood friends. Call me Phianse. No honorifics, it¡¯s a nuisance!¡±
¡±Ha, yeah....¡±
And thus the scoldingmences. However, even if she says to treat her normally, it is impossible. Because, this person is the princess of this country.
¡°It¡¯s shameful. I never thought you¡¯d be unable to win even once. With this, won¡¯t the next champion in the [Graduation Commemorative Match] be me.¡±
¡°Ha ha ha, I guess ¡±
¡°Is that funny? When you graduate, you will be a fine warrior, serve the Royal Pce, and will be a key figure in the protection the Imperial Capital beside your father. It would be a pitiful thing that you are weaker than me, the princess.¡±
How many times have I heard this sermon?
If the other party wasn¡¯t a princess, I would scream, [SHUT THE [emailprotected]# UP WOMAN]
If she wasn¡¯t a childhood friend, I might have hit her.
¡°As the son of the hero who saved the world, isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡±
In addition to me, this school has children of nobles and other offspring of the heroes who defeated the Great Demon King.
However, none could beat Princess Phianse, either in academic or inbat.
Yet I¡¯m the only one she preaches to every time. It¡¯s quite annoying.
And it¡¯s not just the sermons that get to me.
¡°But... the princess is a really impressive, but...... Earth is pretty strong, too.¡±
¡°Yes, he¡¯s a little withdrawn, but looks a bit wild and cool.¡±
¡°His household is wealthy, too.¡±
Here theye! The girls in my ss are blushing and praising me.
This makes me happy and embarrassed.
I can¡¯t beat the Princess, but I¡¯m second ce in my grade, so I¡¯m an honor student.
Moreover, because my family is good, the girls usually don¡¯t care.
However...
¡°...... Hey, you there!¡±
Oh, I¡¯m done! The princess approaches the girls who were in the spectator seat by fast walking, and the face is put out with a jerk.
¡°There seems to be a little misunderstanding. Certainly, he is talented, his face may not be bad, and hees from a wealthy family. But, he also has a twisted side too. His character is considerably demonic, and tends to be disobedient at times. Also, more than anything, when I was a child, he rudely peeked at my underwear, and he still hides smutty books in his room. The other day, I heard from his maid that he had hidden a double-bottomed drawer and even set up a magic trap to hide them. No, that isn¡¯t good for the boys of his age, but he¡¯s hiding something obscene. His appearance itself isn¡¯t bad, but the eyes are pretty bad, no, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s wild and masculine, it¡¯s just bad. His family is also wealthy, and his parents are two respectable heroes. However, his upbringing is too lenient, and he was spoiled growing up. You don¡¯t want that, do you? No, but it¡¯s not that he¡¯s not working hard. He studies and trains very hard just so he can beat me. While he seems to not care about losing, I have witnessed his figure working hard in shadows without anyone noticing, still, th-that is, yes. He has no delicacy towards girls. Yes, that¡¯s why you should definitely stop aiming for him.¡± [2]
She blew all that abuse towards me at the girls endlessly. How is it even possible to speak so fast?
And the girls who heard it smiled.
¡°Ufufufu, oh we understand, princess¡±
¡°Among us... No, I don¡¯t think any girl in the Imperial city is aiming to be Earth¡¯s girlfriend.¡±
¡°Right-?¡±
Damn, you¡¯re making a fool of me?
Yes, if I think about it normally, there¡¯s no way I can be that popr.
However, in thest three years I have never been able to get a girlfriend. So, of course, I¡¯ve never... I don¡¯t have any experience with women!
It¡¯s all because of that damn princess who keeps tarnishing my image to the girls! Maybe she hates me!
Hmm, but it doesn¡¯t matter. For me... generally, there¡¯s someone I¡¯ve already set my mind on!
[S1] The name written as actually sound like the English word Fianc¨¦e. You may notice simr naming conventions from the author in this book. Watch out!
[S2] Wow! Quite the rant! I smell a Tsundere in denial. I took a lot of liberties with this part but I believe the spirit of the scene is intact. ÆF±¾ (tsuyabon) literally trantes as ¡°gloss book¡± and took me to some ¡°cultural¡± sites so I¡¯m assuming she referring to his porn stash!
[Chapter 2 – Father and Son]
Chapter 2 ¨C Father and Son
Tranted by: Sads07
Oooooooh, my Gooooood, you make me siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!
...... I can¡¯t do it though! It might have made me feel a lot better to yell it out, but I can¡¯t.
Actually, I want to straighten out the princess who is bad-mouthing me, but no matter what I say, I would onlye off as vindictive, and that is worse.
So all I could do was pretend I didn¡¯t hear a word and walk away, showing my pride.
¡°It¡¯s a shame, Earth. But don¡¯t be discouraged, keep pushing yourself again and again and be stronger.¡±
As I was about to leave, Taek, the instructor who officiated the mock battle between me and the princess put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a passionate shout.
¡°You know? Your father ¡®Hiro¡¯ also suffered as many defeats as you from ¡®Solja¡¯ who was the strongest in the academy when he was the prince. But at the end of the day... he earned a spectacr victory in their [Graduation Commemorative Match]. So keep it up!¡± [1]
The instructor gives a thumbs up and some encouragment. Following his lead, my ssmates send encouragement after encouragement one after another.
¡°That¡¯s right, Earth. Let¡¯s see you awaken your heroic genes at the end of the day!¡±
¡°Oh yes, Earth is the son of hero, ¡®Hiro¡¯!¡±
¡°Will he show the talent that could defeat even the Great Demon King?¡±
Every time I receive such encouragement, I¡¯m moved by my friends¡¯ consideration. But what about you guys? I mean, you¡¯re worse than I am in the rankings, so first you should do ¡®your¡¯ best! And enough with the ¡®Herioc genes¡¯ already!
However, I do not say any such thing.
I just walked away from everyone and responded with only one word.
¡°...... W-Well...¡±
On the whole, the first ce is upied by a genius who is called a prodigy even though she is a nuisance. My efforts are probably pointless. I¡¯ll admit it.
So, there¡¯s no shame in not being able to beat her. In this country, there actually aren¡¯t that many of a same age that can beat her.
Even these guys have lost to the princess. And yet, they don¡¯t look frustrated at all, nor do they have any intention of winning in the first ce.
So, well, it¡¯s vexing, but I¡¯m beginning to think that I have no choice but to ept that I can¡¯t win.
However, enough about this, because there¡¯s something else I can¡¯t get my head around.
That is......
¡°How many consecutive wins does the princess have over Hiro¡¯s son?¡±
¡°No matter how much of a prodigy the princess is, it¡¯s pathetic that the son of a hero can¡¯t win even once.¡±
I heard voices from the corner of the passage way of the training ground.
Grown up voices. Perhaps the Imperial Knights are chatting.
They were talking about me without knowing I was listening.
¡°Well, the child of the Hero is not a hero.¡±
¡°The princess is exceptional, but... ultimately, the level of the generation below us is stillcking. Well, it¡¯s also proof that we¡¯re living in peaceful times.¡±
¡°This year¡¯s Academy Graduation Match will be attended by royalty from other countries. I¡¯m worried that they will be disappointed when they see the ipetence of Lord Hiro¡¯s son.¡±
¡°Even though he is the son of Lord Hiro, his writing and practical skills put him in second ce. It¡¯s shameful that he can¡¯t take first ce even once.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. And the second ce is also a problem. It¡¯s because ¡®those two¡¯ aren¡¯t here.¡±
¡°Oh, them. ¡®Those two¡¯, who are currently studying abroad have already fully demonstrated their talents and were awarded medals by the King of another country the other day, right?¡±
¡°Yes, it is. In other words, Lord Hiro¡¯s son being second in the absence of ¡®those two¡¯...... actually ces him in fourth, so disappointing.¡±
I heard this kind of talk in many ces.
When I was a child, I was able to get perfect scores on tests and show better magic than others, hence they would always say ¡°as expected of the Son of the hero, Hiro.¡±
Then, at 13 years old, I joined the Academy andpeted with others for the ranking.
As a result, I always kept the Academy¡¯s Top ss ranking.
But, second ce was my highest and I never took first ce.
However, the Academy is a warrior training institution where excellent children from all over the Empire and aristocrats would gather and enter after passing a difficult exam.
In other words, a gathering ce for the Empire¡¯s elites.
That¡¯s why I think it¡¯s a great achievement to be ranked second ce there.
But, people around here don¡¯t believe so it seems.
¡°.....I¡¯m sorry....¡±
¡°¡±Huh!!??¡±¡±
At my words, two men who seem to be in their thirties look back.
Adorning armor engraved with the symbol of the empire.
¡°I¡¯ve showed something pitiful to the Imperial Knights...¡±
They appear slightly anxious with my appearance, but theyughed to cover it up and spoke to me in a friendly manner.
¡°No, no, no, no, No, I can¡¯t be helped with the princess. The princess already has the power of the ¡¾Advanced Warrior¡¿ ss at the moment.¡±
¡°But you can¡¯t be too rxed either, can you? Your father acquired the ¡¾Advanced Warrior¡¿ at the age of 16, just a year after graduating from the Academy, and he defeated the Great Demon King when he was 18.¡±
¡°After graduating from the Academy, the ¡¾Aspiring Warrior¡¿ is, of course, recruited as an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿, right? The current academy standard is quite rudimentary, so your training will be restarted from scratch, Young Master.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why as the son of a hero, you have to give it your best.¡±
And...... that¡¯s what I was told by the people I was most familiar with.
Instructors, ssmates, and even people I just met say things like this.
Of course, even my real parents say it...
¡°That¡¯s right! By all means, please treat my dumb son well once he graduates!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±
Uugh!.... He¡¯s here......
¡°L- Lord Hiro!?¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t be like that. Training hard? You got an advanced promotion exam soon, right? Good luck with that.¡± [2]
¡°Oh, thank you!¡±
¡°You¡¯ve got a baby on the way, right? Gotta show em how great Daddy is!¡±
¡°How did you know that? I¡¯m humbled....¡±
With the same scorching red hair as mine. He always has a cheerfulugh and a friendly demeanor and is loved by everyone. I heard he has a fan club in the Imperial City, the members are mostly women in their early twenties.
His sword skills and magic power have been ssed one of the strongest in the world, and if youbine the two, his [Magic Sword] makes him the strongest hero in the world.
As a kid I admired and respected such a father with eyes shining... But now...
¡°Hey, Earth. I had some work to do and came to the training ground, but... I heard you lost to the princess again.¡±
¡°Guh...¡±
The father who taunts me with a nasty grin. So annoying.
¡°Her father Solja and I were in the academy together. I never won a match against His Majesty other than the [Graduation Commemorative Match]. But your opponent is a girl, right? Isn¡¯t losing every match pathetic?¡±
¡°...... Hmm...¡±
¡°Well, unlike you, your dad was in a pinch before graduation because of the written exams, so you might be better off. In the end, what truly makes a man is this.¡±
Saying that, my father gently hit my jaw with his fist.
Is the man trying to say, ¡°Power is what makes a man¡±?
¡°...... Well, then again my dad could help with my sword training. If you taught me the swordsmanship the Hero used to defeat the Great Demon King... could I beat the princess?¡±
Half serious and half in jest, a little, I asked my father to examine my progress.
But my fatherughed.
¡°I don¡¯t know... I¡¯d like to guide you, but I¡¯m too busy with work. So, diligently follow your training instructor or Sadiz. Besides, you can¡¯t use [That Sword] yet. So, we¡¯ll see.¡±
Again, it¡¯s the same as always.
¡°Well, you¡¯re the type to grow slowly. Take your time and do your best.¡±
I¡¯m my father¡¯s son. Yet, I have never been taught swords, magic, etc. by my father.
I ampared to my father even though he has never passed on his skills and teachings to me.
And to top it all off, when he was my age, he was inferior to me as a student, but I¡¯m the one being looked down on.
Really......
¡°Tch... I...... presently..... aren¡¯t I working hard enough?¡±
¡°......Earth?¡±
¡°Type that grows slowly......? Such an unreliable thing to say.¡±
It¡¯s annoying. That¡¯s why I want to shout like a kid.
¡°Why... Why am I a disappointment? I¡¯m content! I¡¯m second ce in the Academy ranking! Isn¡¯t that great!? Praise my efforts a little instead of consoling me! Were you ever in second ce? Yet you¡¯re disappointed? Second ce isn¡¯t good enough for you? Why do I have to be in first ce?¡±
A pitiful kid... I can¡¯t control it even though I¡¯m aware of it myself, but I¡¯m still a kid and I¡¯m full of self-loathing.
¡°Earth...¡±
¡°...... tsk... I¡¯m fine...¡±
Before I knew it, I pushed past my father and ran away.

Author¡¯s Note:
Thank you very much for appearing on the day.
Since there is a stock to write 200,000 characters in Golden Week, Post every day for a while, so I will continue to post more than one day to see the situation, thank you in the future.
[S1] So, remember those naming conventions I said to look out for? The Hero is actually called ¡°Hiiro¡± and the emperor name sounds like ¡°Soldier¡±.
[S2] Enter the man himself. From the description I opted to give Hiro a super casual speech pattern, regardless of who he speaks with. Unless the mood calls for a more serious atmosphere.
[Chapter 3 – Exclusive Maid]
Chapter 3 ¨C Exclusive Maid
Tranted by: Sads07
¡¾Imperial Warrior¡¿
Not only is it a title in this country, but also a qualification.
The qualification that the selected elites earn when they graduate from the Academy, and this will allow them to get a job that only Imperial Warriors can serve.
The ¡¾Hunter¡¿ can freely cross world borders, and sometimes undertakes quests from the people, such as the extermination of demonic beasts and the development of unexplorednds.
The ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ is a gathering of senior military candidates under direct orders from the Emperor. They work to maintain the security of the Empire, and sometimes undertake national-scale work.
The ¡¾Imperial Mage¡¿ devotes his life to the research and development of magic.
There are many others, but if one isn¡¯t qualified as an ¡¾Imperial Warrior¡¿, they can¡¯t get work at any of these organizations.
My father, despite earning terrible grades in his academy years, still stood among the top elites and became an Imperial Knight, and now he is the head of all the Imperial Warriors, the ¡¾Prime Imperial Warrior¡¿.
Originally amoner born of a fallen noble, he worked hard, became stronger, and sometimes saved the country, and eventually saved the world.
He defeated the Great Demon King, the god of the demons who tried to conquer the world.
The story of my father, who rose frommoner to hero, is praised, appreciated, and revered by the masses all over the world, and he is now called the ¡¾Hero¡¿.
However, it is ultimately my father¡¯s story, and has nothing to do with me, his son.
In fact, I have not inherited anything from my father other than his blood.
Even though the war with the Great Demon King ended and the world became peaceful, as an aide of the Emperor my father¡¯s duties are enormous, hence he can¡¯t make time for his son.
That¡¯s why I¡¯ve never been taught anything by my father.
And yet, I¡¯m expected to produce results that will prove I am my father¡¯s son.
And, as a result, I am superior to my father when he was my age, and yet, such a worthless dilemma.
Really...... I don¡¯t get it.
¡°I¡¯m home...¡±
In the end, I was in a bad mood and went back to my house even though it was still early afternoon.
In front of the mansion just past therge garden, there was a maid tending to the garden.
The maid noticed me and opened her eyes for a moment, but soon showed a sharp smile like a crescent moon.
¡°Wee back, little man. But the academy should still be in session, so please turn around and go right back.¡± [1]
As a Young Master, that¡¯s not the proper way of speaking to me, but it is the normal mode of this maid.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, ¡®Sadiz¡¯. I left early because of a headache.¡± [2]
¡°Oh my, the mentality of a slime as usual. I believe today should be a mock battle as well as the announcement of the written test results... did you lose to the princess?¡±
¡°............¡±
¡°As expected, you¡¯re too boring, Lil¡¯ Earth!¡±
Sadiz, a maid with a nasty smile and an unrelenting venomous tongue.
It seems she was a war orphan, and was in this mansion before I was born, we were brought up as siblings, and now she is my exclusive maid.
Her beautiful silver hair is tied together behind her head, and the skirt of her maid outfit, which should be neat and tidy, is short, reaching just above her knees for some reason, and her breasts and voluptuous body is very stimting to me.
She is young at only 19 years old, and to me she is more like a mean elder sister than a maid.
Well, she is also my first love, and I¡¯m sure she¡¯s the one I want to end up with someday.
She¡¯s not my fianc¨¦e. But I intend to make her my future wife.
¡°It¡¯s okay. The exams are over, and all that¡¯s left is the graduation match. No matter what kind of grades I get now, my evaluation will not drop.¡±
¡°Certainly, as the second-seat, you are free to choose your career path after graduation. So, if Lil¡¯ Earth says he¡¯ll advance to the Imperial Knight, it seems to be a definite matter.¡±
¡°Right? Then no one wouldin, and isn¡¯t that what everyone expects? My father is the Hero.¡±
¡°Oh, someone¡¯s crankier than usual today. Well, not only did he lose to the princess. Did the master meet you and tell you something?¡±
¡°............¡±
¡°That¡¯s another mark... you¡¯re so easy to read, such thin skin, Little man.¡±
Did she see me?! How does she know!? Or, skin...... I don¡¯t get how she would know that! No, it¡¯s only natural, she washes my body in the bath sometimes!
¡°Damnit. Always.the son of a hero.,...... Hero this hero that. In the first ce, the Great Demon King is dead, the demons are gone, and in an age when there is no war with other countries, warriors are stagnant. If I was to be first ce, and was the son of a hero, is there a ce to demonstrate it? If not, second ce will be enough.¡±
It is no useining about this to Sadiz, who is a maid. But when Sadiz is always quick with her sharp poisonous tongue, I be irritated andsh out emotionally.
And only at times like this, Sadiz had a serious face....
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth...¡±
¡°......¡±
¡°I understand you feel pressure and annoyance in the selfish expectations and voices of those around you... even if you can¡¯t share such pain with me, a maid. But the people around you and the master... and, me as well...... it¡¯s impossible not to have expectations of Little man.¡±
¡°Sadiz...¡±
¡°It is well known that the hero, ¡®Hiro¡¯, was a failure in his childhood... That¡¯s why, at the moment, how much growth has already been achieved by Little Earth and how much more excellent can he be? It¡¯s gone beyond expectations, and everyone dreams of your future. Your existence means that much...... I really want you to understand that, even though it¡¯s truly selfish of me.¡±
With gentle and firm words, Sadiz tells me this as she bowed her head down.
This is really cunning.
When should we have our wedding?
¡°...... But... Once in a while, besides scolding or encouragement...... I want a reward.¡±
I had no choice but to reply while facing away with embarrassment.
¡°Reward, is it? You are aware you receive more pocket money than the typical ie of an ordinary man? You can buy whatever you want, right?¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not what I meant...¡±
¡°Oh, but you can¡¯t buy any ero-books or a harlot. And now... not even A?WO?MANS?HEA?RT ?.¡±
¡°Nu...¡±
¡°And unfortunately, it is not included in my terms of employment so I can¡¯t educate Little man in romance, even if you ask, I can¡¯t do it¡«?!.¡±
A long time ago, when I was still young, I asked Sadiz to ¡°be my bride¡± and she refused, but since then she has been aware of my feelings and lustful nature, but this is how I get shut down.
To be honest, I thought that I could marry Sadiz if I became a little more mature, but recently, no matter how hard I tried, the image of Sadiz marrying me waspletely nonexistent, and other than my father-rted issues, I was a non topic.
Then, when she saw my tant disappointment, Sadiz sighed and made a proposal.
¡°That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s going to be motivational for Lil¡¯ Earth, but... today, I¡¯m cleaning the sealed pedestal for the first time in a year, so you want toe with me?¡±
¡°Sealed? Oh...... Father¡¯s sword...¡±
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. The legendary sword that destroyed the Great Demon King. Because it is too powerful, it is a sword that the master stuck into the pedestal and sealed. If you look at it, wouldn¡¯t you be a little more motivated?¡±
¡°...... Well. It made me happy when I was a kid, but... now, even if I look at my father¡¯s sword... maybe if he gave it to me.¡±
I wasn¡¯t too keen on Sadiz¡¯ proposal.
The day to release the lock for the sealed room in the mansiones only once a year.
Father¡¯s sword is sealed there. It¡¯s a sword handed down from a myth, a sword of legend.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s no use getting any weird ideas. Even if you think you¡¯ll be stronger by taking the sword, the master is the only one who can pull the sword out of the pedestal anyway.¡±
¡°I- I know!.¡±
The sword that I thought I would inherit someday.
However, for me who was fed up with the title of ¡®The son of the Hero¡¯, it was a delicate matter when asked whether my mood would improve.
So it was.... until I met ¡®him¡¯.
[S1] Taking more liberties here! She constantly refers to Earth as ·»¤Á¤ã¤Þ (Bochaman) which means ¡°Male Junior¡±. Considering her personality it should be a more yful and teasing manner of calling him so I opted for ¡°Little Man¡± and asionally Lil¡¯ Earth. ¡°Young man¡± sounded more authoritative and respectful and that¡¯s not what she¡¯s about.
[S2] Her name is actually pronounced ¡°Sadisu¡±. 3 guesses why! Any I went with Sadiz, also considered ¡°Sadith¡±.
[Chapter 4 – Encounter]
Chapter 4 ¨C Encounter
Tranted by: Sads07
Both my parents weremoners.
It seems they were childhood friends who attended the academy together, then were both chosen as members of the Hero party...... Well, some things happened, they got married and I was born.
In a word, this elegant mansion was built after their marriage.
And, there is a spacious exhibition hall in which a lot of weapons and magical tools both ancient and modern are usually locked.
Inside, there are swords and armor that are ced in a showcase or disyed on the walls.
It is probably as a hobby that my father, a magic swordsman, acquired numerous weapons after marriage.
He ims to have mastered all kinds of martial arts, but I¡¯ve never seen my father use a Spear or a Halberd before.
However, there in the far end of the armory-like exhibition hall, there is a foreboding thick door.
It is a space that can only be opened once a year, wherein lies the treasure which changed the history of the world and saved humanity.
¡°Now then, Little Man. While I retrieve some rags, do go inside and reim your childhood. If you want to steal it, please do your best. Well, it¡¯s impossible for a half pint to pull out the sword that¡¯s sealed on the pedestal.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not stealing it! It¡¯s... well...... I wonder what it will be like to see it now....¡±
Sadiz tells me with a smile. I felt awkward, but I unlock the door with the key I received.
The room within spreads out to a perfect square floor.
On the floor a pentagram magic circle is drawn, and in the center is a sword stuck in a pedestal.
¡°...... The Sword of the Hero...... The strongest in the world... Hmm?¡±
A room that is only released once a year. I wasn¡¯t herest year or the year before, so I¡¯vee into this room for the first time in a few years and looked at the sword...
¡°...... Huh?¡±
Instead of the sword, I was looking at something else.
¡ºHmm... the door opened... I see, tis been a year... how many now... about 15 times...¡»
It¡¯s not my own words. There should be no one within the sealed room because it is usually locked and no one can enter.
But before I entered, there was already someone there.
¡º...... Hmmm!?? This one... ah...... Hiro¡¯s progeny... was but a toddler, but now a little grown-up and resembles Hiro.¡» [1]
¡°No, who are you!! Why are you here?¡±
¡º...... What?¡»
Wait, why are you surprised?
Moreover, he¡¯s not human!
Long, silver hair. Sharp and majestic devil horns that extend from the head.
The medieval beauty form that could be as both man and woman with a suspicious pattern engraved around the eyes.
A mysterious demon dressed in a purple robe that covers the whole body.
I raised my voice and prepared myself.
¡º...... Oi...... well, I never... child...¡»
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡ºCan you hear my voice? Do you recognize my presence?¡»
¡°W-What the hell are you saying! Wait, how did you get into this room? Are you a demon? A robber!?¡±
¡ºWhat!? How has this urred... by no means..... has something changed in my fifteen years of solitude?¡»
Fifteen years? What¡¯s this guy talking about? No matter how you think about it, he doesn¡¯t seem to be tangible, and yet I feel a strange presence.
This guy isn¡¯t normal!
¡°Little man... you¡¯re noisy. Did you actually try to pull out the sword?¡±
¡°Sadiz! Watch out, there¡¯s some strange guy here!¡±
¡°......?¡±
At that time, Sadiz heard themotion and came in holding some cleaning supplies.
There is no a problem with this.
Although Sadiz is a maid, she has graduated from the Academy with excellent grades and is qualified as a ¡¾Superior Warrior¡¿.
I don¡¯t know why she is content with being my exclusive maid, but when I was a kid, she was as talented as my personal escort.
With both Sadiz and I, no matter who this guy is, he¡¯s...
¡°Little man, there¡¯s no one there...¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°...... You¡¯ve been a virgin for so long that you¡¯ve finally started to hallucinate with your delusions... Oh dear...¡±
I was surely able to see the demon within the sealed room, but the fact that nothing was visible to Sadiz shocked me.
¡°Eh? What, why? He¡¯s there, right?¡±
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth, please give up on this strategy. Trying to scare me into pushing you down to get intimate is meaningless. So, please remain a virgin for a while longer.¡±
¡°No, no, it¡¯s not that!!¡±
¡°Well, I still have preparations to make. Please don¡¯t make too much noise, Little man.¡±
She really can¡¯t see him? Sadiz left in preparation for cleaning again.
¡º...... Apparently...... the only one that can see me... child... is you ...¡»
¡°Wha...!?¡±
¡ºEven so...... When I had a body, I had lived for tens of thousands of years, but... it brings me some joy to have a conversation with someone for the first time in a dozen years... I am frail... under the circumstances I would lose to humans....¡»
Is he stupid? No way, I¡¯m the only one who sees him?
¡ºConfined to this cramped space... the only intrusion is during the yearly cleaning... for such an urrence, what does it mean? Mischief from god? Well, either way... tis all about you... my instinct tells me. Even though I was obsessed with this sword, but... child, you are curious as well!¡»
¡°What, what...¡±
¡ºTis ironic, but... in a sense, a stroke of good fortune. I could see nothing of the outside world because this sword had not left this room since I was overthrown. Huhahahahaha!¡»
¡°Uh, W-What is this? Hey, what the hell is with you!¡±
Then, the demon approached me, trembling with a smile mixed with ecstasy and madness.
¡°Stay away! No matter who you are... I know you¡¯re listening! You wanna get beat up!¡±
I picked up the mop that Sadiz had ced in preparation for cleaning.
I held it like a sword, further increasing its power by imbuing lightning magic that I excel in.
¡ºHoh~... ¡¾Magic sword¡¿... but...... tis unrefined.... mediocre... a far cry from Hiro¡¯s prowess.¡»
¡°Heh!? Y-You...!¡±
I was so engrossed that I swung at the demon. However, the demon, who I thought got hit, without doubt slipped through my attack.
¡ºTis no use. Your attack is meaningless to a spiritual body. However, tis you who is fortunate as all that remains is a spiritual body.¡»
¡°What the...!?¡±
¡ºWith this level of magic sword, even if you train for a hundred years, you would not even be considered an enemy during the era I was active.¡»
¡°...... wha. ...¡±
¡ºNo matter, you shall be in my care from now on. I shall give you my name.¡»
I threw up as the demons looked into my eyes.
¡ºI am ¡®The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¯...... he who once sought to conquer the world, but was in by your father and hispanions.¡» [2]
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºThe modern world that was lost to me... I shall see it through you, child.¡»
And then, I lost consciousness.
[S1] Enter the Great Demon King! I decided to have him use a more sophisticated speech pattern. Light Shakespearean speak (like using ¡°tis¡± instead of it¡¯s) and more high born vocabry. So yeah, to the THESAURUS!!!
[S2] Ooooh $%#@! Here we go again! The Great Demon King, the titr ¡°Master¡± is literally named ¡°Trainer¡±. So I yed around with the name to make it look more foreign!
[Chapter 5 – The Name Is….]
Chapter 5 ¨C The Name Is....
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡±
To put it bluntly, there is no one who doesn¡¯t know that name. That name appears in textbooks.
However, I have never seen that entity.
There are no pictures of him left.
The Great Demon King, once defeated by my father and hispanions.
No way am I seeing his ghost, must be some sort of strange vision.
No, it might have actually been a dream.
Surely, I was somewhat frustrated and saw something weird.
¡°Little Man!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
Then, I regained consciousness, and realized I was in bed.
This ceiling is my room, I guess.
And the first thing I saw was Sadiz¡¯s face, which didn¡¯t have her usual nasty smile and looked at me teary eyed.
¡°Sadiz...¡±
¡°Thank goodness, Lil¡¯ Earth! I¡¯m d...... you¡¯re okay, Little man.¡±
Suddenly, I was hugged tight. Sweet, lovely Boobs!?
¡°Ah, ah, S-Sadiz? Oh, Um... Why?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you remember? Lil¡¯ Earth fainted on his own within the sealed room. I didn¡¯t know the cause, I couldn¡¯t find any trauma, and I didn¡¯t know what was going on.... I thought, what if something happens to Little man¡¯s body while he was following me...¡±
¡°I, I¡¯m okay... it¡¯s...¡±
¡°How are you feeling? Do you have any issues?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m fine... a little light headed.... but...... yeah.¡±
¡°Is that so...¡±
Sadiz¡¯s sweet scent wasforting. Then Sadiz slowly got herself off me and smiled gently.
¡°If nothing is wrong, then alright.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Oh, let¡¯s make children already.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s really just exhaustion. Even if you couldn¡¯t beat the princess, Lil¡¯ Earth was working hard every day. Please take a good rest today. I¡¯ll bring your mealter.¡±
¡°Ah, Sadiz, a little longer...¡±
¡°How-e-ver?, sleeping together, I-re-fuse ?.¡±
¡°Uh...¡±
Saying that, Sadiz¡¯s smile changed from one that cared for me from the bottom of her heart and returned to her usual nasty smile, and then she went straight out of the room.
For the time being, I guess she¡¯s relieved.
Damn, I don¡¯t know what caused this, but I haven¡¯t seen Sadiz in obedience mode for a long time, so I wanted more and more of this.
¡ºAh! To behold of such blissful innocence... indeed the seed of the one who defeated me has gone feeble...¡»
¡°Nuwha!?¡±
And suddenly, a voice echoed in my head. That¡¯s the voice I heard before I lost consciousness. And......
¡ºDo not be surprised. Tis my spirit form. As such, I cannot harm or touch anything. However...... you alone can see my appearance and hear my voice.¡»
Saying that, with a faint presence, was definitely the demon I saw before I lost consciousness.
However, it doesn¡¯t seem to have much substance.
¡°I wan, I want to ask... you¡¯re like a ghost, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡ºTis so. After being destroyed by the heroes, including your father, I was unable to pass on, hence I gained a spirit body and was bound to that sword. As soon as Hiro¡¯s life became peaceful, he sealed his sword in that meager space. Never have I been out of that room or seen anyone in thest decade.¡»
¡°Well, why can you talk with me?¡±
¡ºAh. I know not.¡»
Because it is a spiritual body, his figure looks thin. However, he exudes a strange aura just by being there.
Then, if everything he says is true...
¡°Hey, you... putting aside being a ghost... you...... really...¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡°...... it¡¯s, are you really the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡ºIndeed! ¡»
This isn¡¯t good! Wait a minute, what¡¯s this? You mean I¡¯m haunted by the ghost of the Great Demon King now?
Wait a damn minute, usually you haunt the person who kills you!
Why bother with the son instead of the Hero himself?!
That? Am I going to be haunted forever...
¡ºChild... you seem considerably perplexed, even I do not know how this situation came about, despite my omnipotence. No matter how much a child like you deliberates, no solution will present itself.¡»
¡°Hu-wha...¡±
¡ºRather, I am weary after the days spent in captivity this past decade. I would see a bit of the world after my demise. Child, go out to the city. Then I can go outside. In fact, that I could not exit this room is due to you staying in like this.¡»
The self-proimed Great Demon King issues his orders to me. To be honest, I can¡¯t determine if all this is real or not.
Anyway, being told to go out all of a sudden.... well, having been in that small room for more than ten years without anyone to talk to, I¡¯m sure I¡¯d seek my freedom through death.
But he¡¯s a ghost, so he won¡¯t die.
It would certainly be hell! So if I could go outside, I would want to.
Although, even if you¡¯re the Great Demon King, why do you think you can order me around?
¡°...... Hah! What omnipotence... You lost to my father.¡±
¡º...... Hnn....¡»
Saying something I knew he would find unpleasant, seems to have worked well. Unexpectedly!
The legendary Great Demon King raised his eyebrows at my words.
¡ºH, huh- ... Now listen here... son of Hiro.¡»
¡°Oh, the Great Demon King is also short-tempered. You¡¯re going to let a little ribbing from a kid get to you.¡±
¡ºYou...¡»
¡°Anyway, since you can only talk, but can¡¯t harm me, I¡¯ll decide what I¡¯m going to do. Don¡¯t give me any orders.¡±
Because my opponent is in a situation where his hands and feet are tied, I feel sorry for him. But, if the other party is really a Great Demon King, then this is an opportunity of a lifetime, I have to stand my ground.
Then, my words made the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar re at me, as his neat face twitched.
¡ºHmm... Ignorant of my terror. Is that right? To address me in such manner. I, the All-Powerful Demon King. Even as a spirit, I can rectify this matter! Could I not annihte you with my power, and swallow this world into the Demon¡¯s abyss once more?¡»
¡°No, you were trapped in a room because you couldn¡¯t do that, right?¡±
¡º............ Hu... Oh... Well... umm... Well, that is... t- tis not... ¡»
¡°Hey, hey, is he bewildered for the first time in ten years? Did the Great Demon King, who almost destroyed the world, just lost an argument to an Academy student?¡±
The Great Demon King suddenly got confused and was getting agitated.
Oh, I¡¯m starting to think this isn¡¯t the Great Demon King, and I felt quite pitiful.
¡°Hah~, can¡¯t be helped. Fine. I¡¯ll take a walk before dinner.¡±
¡ºHuh!? ¡»
¡°Rather, it¡¯s just for a bit today.¡±
¡ºKokukoku Kokukoku!¡»
When I got out of bed and said so, the Great Demon King was joyously mumbling like a bright faced child.
Oh, seems the dignity of the first Great Demon King ispletely crushed.
¡°...... Oh, where are you going, Little Man?¡±
¡°Ah!?¡±
¡°Besides, it seems you were talking to yourself, what are you up to? Is your current ailment a step in the n to bed me?¡±
Sadiz came into the room after a light knock.
I was so startled that I jumped.
I see... to the people around me, do all the conversations with the Great Demon King sound like my monologue?
¡°Furthermore, you changed clothes... what? You are to take a good rest today.¡±
¡°Oh, no, a little walk in the city.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll blow you away, Little man.¡±
¡°Eeeh!?¡±
Saying that, Sadiz instantly got into the room and grabbed my cheeks and smiled.
¡ºHoh~ This maid...... she is formidable.¡»
The voice of admiration from the Great Demon King. Yes, when she¡¯s serious, she¡¯s much stronger than the princess was today.
That¡¯s why it¡¯s a miserable story, my chances of winning right now is non-existent.
¡°Nu-fu-fu, most troubling, Little man. Today, I was intent on pampering my Lil¡¯ Earth, feed him dinner myself, washing his body in the bath, might even overlook some mild sexual harassment in the bathroom. s....¡±
¡°Eh!? S-seriously!? No, un, I¡¯ll behave! No, I¡¯m really sick!¡±
¡°Seems you¡¯re doing well enough. So, having skipped the afternoon sses... Let¡¯s have you solve all the problems I created about magic mathematics that would have been covered in this afternoon¡¯s ss!¡±
¡°Sadiiiiiz!!??¡±
¡°You¡¯re forbidden from leaving until everything is solved, else you¡¯ll do without dinner. So, good luck? Try to escape... and... I have plenty to report.¡±
Sadiz walked out of the room, leaving angry words promising punishment with a smile.
No way, if I had kept silent, I would have been in heaven. Instead I was knocked back down to hell.
¡°Damn, The Great Demon King, Go To HELL!¡±
¡ºNo, even if you say that... no...... yes...... well! My apologies.¡»
¡°Damn, maybe I could have made progress with Sadiz today... instead, I get more work than usual.... ah, damnit, but again....... Aaaaaah!¡±
The Great Demon King, who has lost his dignity, apologized awkwardly to the cries from my heart that missed many delicious opportunities.
[Chapter 6 – The Demon King’s Magic]
Chapter 6 ¨C The Demon King¡¯s Magic
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Anyway, let¡¯s get this over with!¡±
A collection of problems made by Sadiz given to me as punishment.
Even though I felt depressed, I had no choice but to sit at my desk and get started.
¡ºHoh~.... Youmenced without dy.¡»
¡°Because Sadiz would get angry... if hated, I... would be troubled.
¡º............¡»
¡°Hey, don¡¯t just keep silent. It¡¯s embarrassing!¡±
¡ºNo, yes, well... Tis the first time seeing such tone and demeanor.¡»
The Great Demon King stares at me as if impressed that I was obedient towards Sadiz.
After exchanging a few words with him, I immediately concentrated on the magic mathematics problem. [1]
¡°..... Let¡¯s see...... divide this section...... substitute it here...¡±
Sadiz¡¯s original problems are a little more difficult than what appears in the Academy ss.
Careless mistakes are really fatal because of the tedious forms.
What¡¯s worse, Sadiz will never give a ¡®partial point¡¯ for using the right process even though the solution is wrong.
Since only correct or incorrect answers are judged, it takes time to verify.
¡ºHoh~... Is it a matter of forms?¡»
¡°Ssh, I¡¯m trying to focus, so don¡¯t talk to me right now.¡±
The Great Demon King seems to be bored and looked into the problems that I solved.
Then, while looking at my answer, the Great Demon King......
¡º...... Hmm...... Your fundamental academic ability seems to be superior to your father¡¯s.¡»
¡°Wha-!?¡±
I trembled with such shock that I broke the pen I was holding.
¡°Eh... Well... What? Oh, than father.... superior?¡±
¡ºHmm? Is something wrong? No matter how you look at it, is he not a single-minded fool without any decent academic achievement? ¡»
It was the first time I was told that I was better than my father.
It is true that during his Academy years my father was not good at listening to the ssroom lectures.
However, I had never been told that I was ¡®superior¡¯ to my father.
The only thing that was said to me was a subtlepliment that ¡°You are more on point than your father¡±.
That¡¯s why I was puzzled by the words ¡°better than your father.¡±
¡ºWell...... despite yourpetence at solving such forms, it would be of no use in the real world or in magical research.¡»
¡°Eh...¡±
¡ºEven if used, tis merely a way to demonstrate academic ability... In other words, merely for the sake of examination.¡»
Everyone once thinks, ¡°What¡¯s the point of remembering this?¡± at one time or another. The answer to the question, by the Great Demon King himself, saying, ¡°It useless¡± just cut me down!
¡ºWhat? Suddenly hanging your head and your hands are still?¡»
¡°Whose fault is that...¡±
Why am I even doing this? I suddenly felt like an idiot.
Because the self-proimed Omnipotent One has dered ¡°it is useless¡±.
¡ºEven so, you humans are inefficient. Why put such efforts to calctions that have no application in your lifetime? Is the answer that important?¡»
Then, while sighing to me as my hand stopped, the Demon King said that our way was ¡°inefficient¡±, besides being meaningless in the first ce.
¡°Inefficient?¡±
¡ºTis so. Rather than going through each and every detail of the calction, tis more efficient to¡¾Auto-Calcte¡¿the result once you keep the equation in mind.¡»
I couldn¡¯t understand what the Great Demon King was saying.
¡°Eh, automatic calction? What¡¯s that? ¡°
¡ºAah, that e to think of it... You humans are incapable of that..... no helping it then.¡»
The Great Demon King whispers as he immediately realized my doubts. After a few seconds of silence, the Demon King made me a suggestion.
¡ºVery well. If you cannot go outside unless you are done... I shall offer a little of my cooperation.¡»
¡°Cooperation? What? Are you saying you¡¯ll solve it?¡±
¡ºI am not. Now follow my instructions... draw a Contractual Magic Circle for Magic Acquisition¡»
¡°Magic Circle?¡±
Does he intend to have me perform a ritual to learn a certain magic?
¡ºThe level of power and uracy of magic increases through training, but one cannot learn any beginner magic unless a contract is invoked by magic circle. Speaking of, have you ever drawn your own magic circle? ¡»
¡°That is the routine. Don¡¯t you learn the basic magic attributes, wind, lightning, and terran by contracting yourself? The only way to grow is by doing the work yourself. Sadiz is....¡± [2]
¡ºHmm... In that case, it should suffice. Good...... Draw a six-pointed star on the floor, and cast the spell I chant while crafting magic.¡»
¡°...... Seriously...... So what¡¯s going to happen?¡±
¡ºYou shall be more efficient!¡»
I was instructed to make a magic contract while studying.
If you want to finish early and go outside, if you have time to do this, you should solve one more problem.
However, the Demon King still suggests that it is more efficient.
Somehow I was interested in it.
¡ºThe chant is ¡®?e??o? ?u?a ai ?u?o?o ?u?o ?ei?u [?e??ii] [S3] ¡¯...... now, chant it!¡» [3]
Sure enough, it was a chant that I had never heard before.
In other words, this is the Demon King¡¯s original......?
¡°Wha-... What kind of magic is it?¡±
If this was an original of the Great Demon King, I was a little excited like a kid with a new toy.
It didn¡¯t matter if he was the nemesis of mankind, because I may be able to use the magic of the Great Demon King.
And, that magic is.....
¡ºAutomatic calction magic, ¡¾Exail¡¿¡»
¡°Excel...are you?¡±
I¡¯ve never heard of it. What kind of magic is it? Well, that¡¯s fine.
¡°Hmm...Well, alright. Whether may happen...... Contract with me, ¡®?e??o? ?u?a ai ?u?o?o ?u?o ?ei?u ?e??ii¡¯...... The name of the power I seek is ............. ¡¾Exail¡¿!¡±
Now that I thought of it, it¡¯s been a while since I signed a new spell.
A unique pale light overflows, the magic circle on the floor erodes into my body, envelops it, and feels like I¡¯m wearing something new.
¡°..... With this...... Is this okay?¡±
¡ºTis enough.¡»
The magic circle on the floor disappeared cleanly, too. This is also proof of learning a new magic, and it went well.
¡°So...? What should I do now?¡±
¡ºCast ¡¾Exail¡¿, imagine an equation in your mind and assign the figures. The chant is the same ancient magic words as before.¡»
¡°U, understood... ¡®?e??o? ?u?a ai ?u?o?o ?u?o ?ei?u ?e??ii¡¯¡±
Chanted. Now, what¡¯s going to happen?
I felt a little, no, more and more a sensation like my head clearing up.
This is, simr to the feeling you get when you use your head for calction, memorization, etc. and it is going well.
In this situation, I envisioned the equation in my head and substitute the numbers.....?
¡°...... 4545072...... eh?¡±
The moment I applied a number to the equation envisioned in my head, the solution came to mind in an instant... no way!
¡ºAutomatically calcted... That is the answer.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
What...?!?
¡°Whaaaat!? A, absurd, s, such a long calction........ me, j, just now, in an instant?¡±
¡ºTis so. All the calctions and functions divided into fine denominators and numerators in the equation, envision even the form mentally, the rest will automatically derive the answer.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºTis what I¡¯ve developed... ¡¾Exail¡¿¡»
You idiot! All the same, this sort of instant,plex calction... such a thing......
¡°Wai, wait a minute! Now, after undoing the magic, l, let¡¯s confirm it...¡±
¡ºVerify as often as you like.¡»
Unbelievably, for it to go this far. If, if this were possible... Everything in the field of magic mathematics...... Even the purpose of the exam... Seriously?
¡°Eh... Answer...... 4545072...... It¡¯s the same.¡±
¡ºDo you understand? ¡»
¡°T, this time with another problem! mumble mumble...... ¡¾Exail¡¿¡±
With this, performing long-running calctions, being wary of careless mistakes, do you even need to check again and again?
Hey hey, such a thing...
¡°...... 69...... Oh, well, seriously...... Ha ha...... Hey, hey!¡±
¡ºHow do you find it? Efficient, is it not? ¡»
¡°Ha! Haha! Hahahahahaha! It¡¯s great!¡±
I was delighted.
I never thought I could learn such a convenient magic.
This is useful.
Or rather, as long you know the equation, the rest is easy.
Then, at least in magic mathematics alone the princess...?
However, I hadn¡¯t realized yet.
Magic mathematics wasn¡¯t the only magic and knowledge possessed by the Great Demon King, rather this was just the beginning.
[S1] I was thinking of using [Arithmancy] , which is an actual field of divination in ancient Greece. But opted to keep Magic Mathematics even if it¡¯s a mouthful.
[S2] Okay! This might be a conundrum. Earth attribute is probably what is intended here but that is also the MCs name. One trantion suggested Soil but I don¡¯t know if that will work. What if they throw huge rocks around, that no soil I¡¯ve ever seen. Any alternative suggestions? Edit! I¡¯ve decided to use Terra in the end.
[S3] This took awhile. With the find and rece tool. Just copied what was written phically and dressed it up to look arcane.

¨D¨DIn such a short time, all answers correct ... My little man. Atst, my lessons are going through.... Yoyoyo
And so, with tears of joy, Sadiz granted me permission to go out before dinner.
All questions were answered correctly in a short time. I¡¯ve never had such a pleasant feeling, and I did a guts pose.
¡°Well, as thanks I¡¯ll take you where you like.¡±
¡ºUm. Then go where is most prosperous. ¡»
¡°Oh, leave it to me.¡±
I got out of the mansion, passed through the high-end residential area, and arrived at the downtown area, which is also the center of the Imperial city.
¡ºA lot of development... There is no air of ughter as during the war... Such positivity...... Tis so peaceful. ¡»
¡°Ah.¡±
¡ºAnd this is... those fellows, the world they gained by overthrowing me..... ¡»
Outside for the first time in over ten years. The Sky. The City. Civilization. And a lot of people.
It may beplicated for Tre¡¯ainar, a demon and enemy of mankind, but it was also the moment when he was finally able to go out into the world.
That¡¯s why Tre¡¯ainar was silently watching the scene in front of him for a while.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m tired! I don¡¯t know, I¡¯m up for a drink today.¡±
¡°Hehe, wee. Your wife would like this.
¡°Nah! Move along buddy. Get lost!!¡±
A scene that spreads. It¡¯s amon ¡°daily life¡±.
¡°Mama, what¡¯s for dinner today?¡±
¡°Well, what do you want?¡±
¡°Steak!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Today is Daddy¡¯s payday, so I think I¡¯ll splurge a little.¡±
Men on their way home from work. Housewives with children shopping for dinner.
There were many young students at the end of the school day chatting with their friends while leaving school.
¡°...... So...... What do you think of this?¡±
What do you feel about this scene? I asked with a simple interest.
¡ºTis absolutely deplorable. A gathering of wretched human filth. Living their feeble lives with constant chatter and smiles. How I wish to exterminate them right now. ¡»
Even though it¡¯s a spirit body, his cold eyes sent a shiver down my spine and I was conscious of his bloodlust.
The guy I thought would be useful was still the Great Demon King.
But......
¡ºHowever... no matter my opinion, I am the vanquished.... as such, at most I shall ascertain my impressions. My actions can have no consequence on the future, beyond that. ¡»
There, at least I didn¡¯t feel any resentment or hatred.
On the contrary, reflecting on his own outlook made himugh out loud. Looking at his back he seemed a little aggrieved, but the Great Demon King nodded convincingly.
¡°Is that so?¡±
¡ºWell, I have yet to convince you. Nothing I can do about it now. ¡»
Yes, it can¡¯t be helped anymore.
Just because I was the only one who could see and hear his voice, it is not possible for the Demon King to affect the world now.
That¡¯s why all he can do is to see the world my father and hisrades have won through me.
I feel a little pity for this guy who can only do that, but I decided not to ask any more questions, because it was not my ce to say anything about it.
However, this is how the Demon King is honestly expressing my feelings, and hearing that I asked other things I was concerned with.
¡°Hey...¡¯The Hero¡¯, Hiro...... My father... Was he strong?¡±
¡ºHuh? Hiro? ¡»
¡°Ah. I¡¯m my father¡¯s son, but I haven¡¯t had any practice with him, and now we¡¯re at peace, so I¡¯ve never seen him fight seriously.¡±
My father is the great existence who I can¡¯t avoid always beingpared to.
However, I do not know father¡¯s actual ability because I only know the achievements and honors that he aplished.
In that respect, he and my father were adversaries who fought to kill each other.
In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that he knows my father¡¯s power more than anyone else.
¡ºHiro... my opinion of...... your father... ¡»
¡°yeah.¡±
¡º...... Or rather, the Heroes...... ¡»
With a slightly serious expression, he looks back on the past, and Demon King looked like he¡¯s talking about my father.
¡ºThe Hero party was very unfair and could not read the situation! Tis no exaggeration to say they know not the meaning of ¡®fair and square¡¯! Aaaah, so abominable!! ¡»
...... he¡¯s holding a preposterous grudge.
¡°No, no, wait. Unfair...¡±
¡ºThe very height of cowardice! How is that eptable? At the final battle... They invaded the Great Demon Pce.... and the seven warriors led by Hiro reached my base. ¡»
¡°Seven people... Oh...... ¡®The Seven Heroes of Humanity¡¯.¡±
¡ºYes! However, usually when ites to that junction, should single battle between the Demon King and the strongest hero not decide the fate of the world? However, they... all seven, attacked in unison! Including your mother!¡»
The Great Demon King¡¯s aura which seemed to have revived a little while ago blows up in a rage that hit with such furious momentum.
¡ºExactly! Moreover, as if it was not ridiculous enough, that Hiro... ¡°Humanity all over the world, grant us your power¡± to implore such an outrageous appeal, and all mankind did send power to Hiro, beaten I was by a huge sword thatbined all that power together! Absolutely unfair! ¡»
Well... If you stand on the side of the heroes and listen, you would be moved as the heart of humanity united as one.
However, from his point of view, it is certainly a bit unfair to have to fight alone against all of humanity.
¡°But as the leader of the Demon army, you would have to represent your side...¡±
¡º............¡»
¡°At that time, did your subordinates ¡ª¨C¡°
¡ºNo more questions. Enough for today! Show me the city again tomorrow! ¡»
When it seemed the mood became awkward, the Great Demon King immediately derailed the conversation to forcibly bring it to an end.
Apparently, it was a subject I should not touch.
¡°Uuugh... geez, but I¡¯ll be at the academy tomorrow, so it¡¯ll have to be afterwards.¡±
¡ºWorry not. I am also interested in the institutions that nurture human warriors. ¡»
For the time being, it seems that there is no harm to me, and this one can¡¯t do anything.
I¡¯ve been possessed by something strange, but I can go along with it for a little bit.
¡ºHmm? Child. The books that are stacked in the bookstore over there...... also some promotion, but... ¡»
And, the Demon King who stops me on the way to the mansion.
Looking back, the Demon King was looking at a bookstore with a small crowd in front.
Come to think of it, I¡¯m sure today...
¡°Hmm? Oh. ¡®Destiny Grand Order¡¯ released today.... ¡°
The sequel to the world-famous series of novels will be released. I¡¯m not interested, but...
¡ºWh, what, that? Does it have anything to do with ¡®Destiny Stay Night¡¯? ¡»
¡°Ah... was that an early entry from about twenty years ago? It¡¯s been made into a series, but...¡±
¡ºWhat? Tis now a series? ¡»
At that time, the Demon King looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
No, the Great Demon King, who by all means should have been able to receive a high-level lightning spell with no damage, opened his mouth with a really shocked expression....
¡º...... Oi, purchase it. ¡»
He suddenly struck his face at mine, and talked with bloodshot eyes.
¡°No, why would the Great Demon King... want a human book...¡±
¡ºRace has naught to do with culture! I read it long ago..... I despise your people, but that story fascinates me.¡»
¡°Oh! Are you really the Great Demon King?¡±
¡ºReally! Now go on, child... present it to me! ¡»
¡°Hah~!? Why me!? Also, how will you read even if I bought it! You can¡¯t touch books.¡±
¡ºYou can turn the pages! Do not mock me! ¡»
¡°S, so stuborn...¡±
At first, I was irritated, him being all self-important, but in the end he seemed very pitiful. Well, if it¡¯s just one book...
¡°Aah, okay already. I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡±
¡ºA worthy cause! ¡»
He¡¯s so delighted with just that...
For now, I¡¯m just going to wait and see what happens.
¡ºAh... however, can you buy it? That book had depictions of some extremes in the early days and should have been age-restricted ... ¡»
¡°Huh? Is that so? No...... I¡¯m sure it¡¯s been rewritten for all ages.¡±
¡ºIf restrictions apply, there are other ways. I once bought two reference books for my studies and put in-between them....¡»
¡°Wait, you also use the sandwich strategy when buying ero-books?¡±
...... Well, let¡¯s wait and see. A little longer......
[Chapter 8 – The Demon King’s Class Visit]
Chapter 8 ¨C The Demon King¡¯s ss Visit
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Ah, it¡¯s not like this or this, but if you do it like this, if you don¡¯t know what to do next........ In a word, this is the case. Now, open the next page.¡±
Academic sses as usual. The lessons progress quickly with the teacher speaking at a faster rate.
Those who don¡¯t understand are left behind and screened out.
Well, it doesn¡¯t matter if you do a proper preparation review like me, but...
¡ºLudicrous. The lessons are so inefficient, they miss the point. Is that person truly a teacher? Is he willing to make you understand? Also, do all your lessons differ from historical facts? ¡»
The Demon King, who was invisible to everyone besides me, has been exhaling sighs from the start of the lesson.
¡ºAlso, some of the students remain baffled, yet the teacher exins nothing and moves on? Why not ask questions? Tuition has been given, has it not? ¡»
Academy teachersprises of talented people who are qualified to be of the intermediate level or higher of the¡¾Imperial Warriors¡¿.
¡ºDear me, this is the institution that fosters the elite of mankind...? Absolutely horrid.¡»
Hepletely disapproves.
¡ºThe Thousand swings performed in the previous exercise are of no use. A typical example of gaining pride for merely aplishing the feat. ¡»
Eeh? Really? ...... Then, why does Sadiz make me do 5,000 reps every day?
¡ºTis pointless.¡» [1]
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, the inner thoughts I was having in my mind got a reply from the Demon King like normal.
¡¸...... H, hey, you... could it be that...... even if I just talk in my mind... ¡¹
¡ºHmm? Ooh!...... seems we can have our conversations in this manner. ¡»
Weird. If so, by internalizing my speech we canmunicate without speaking out in public, I won¡¯t be treated as a lunatic who is talking to himself?
Well, now about that topic....
¡¸M, More importantly, I¡¯m a little concerned, but... practice-swings are useless? ¡¹
¡ºI do not mean to say the act makes no sense at all. You will improve in mental aptitude and physical strength. However, the manner you and the other students employ makes little sense of it. ¡»
¡¸...... eh... no way...¡¹
¡ºThe swing is to solidify the mold and form. Through repetition, you will naturally be able to move in the correct form. However if you increase the frequency to such pointless degree, you shall lose your form due to fatigue and adopt the wrong form numerous times. ¡»
¡¸...... re, really... ¡¹
¡ºIn general, you are simply swinging without a thought. In actual battle... do you swing at your opponent¡¯s image? When exhausted, you need to at least be able to adopt a basic form, should you not?¡»
It was at that moment my years of hard work werepletely denied.
No, I was quite simply subdued by the shock, but....
¡ºIn that sense...yet, while still conscious of that, being able to perform a thousand swings effectively... there is one person in this ss.¡»
¡¸Eh? ¡¹
¡ºNot you? The girl in front, diagonally from you.¡»
Shockingly, besides me, there was a person The Demon King admitted he recognized.
What kind of amazing person is it to be recognized by that demon king for a moment? I thought, then immediately realized that there was only one such person.
¡ºThat blonde girl... who is she? ¡»
A princess with beautiful long golden hair.
¡¸Ah. Princess Phianse. ¡¹
¡ºPrincess...¡»
¡¸Oh. Of this empire... His Majesty the Emperor... to you, better known as Solja of the Seven Heroes? ¡¹
¡ºEh!? Hoh~...... Solja... that effeminate Magic Spear Knight.... he was the prince at the time, but has taken the role of Emperor now... reasonable... ¡»
It was the bloodline of the person well known by the Demon King, deep down I was emotionally moved as I nodded.
¡ºI see... tis true that she is of good pedigree. The sword swings were also splendid, and the amount of intrinsic magic power is remarkable at that age... to fullyprehend the contents of this low-level teacher¡¯s ss... remarkable... a genius.¡»
And, it came with aplete high praise.
In short, the princess is so amazing she is praised to that extent by the Great Demon King.
¡ºAlthough the child is truly talented... at the moment that girl is superior.¡»
¡¸Ugh?! ¡¹
What¡¯s more, same as everyone else... this bastard...
¡°Oow!¡±
At that time, the chalk from the instructor flew to my forehead, and I was not able to avoid it as I was off my guard.
¡°Hey, why so absent-minded, Earth? Your hands haven¡¯t moved at all for a while, and you¡¯ve been staring intensely at Phianse.¡±
¡±...... eh!?¡±
¡°Eeehhh!!??.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!¡±¡±¡±
The chalk attack stopped the fast-paced high-speed lesson, and caused some teasing.
To this, every eye in the ss is turned to me all at once, and theyughed.
And, the leading princess herself does not look back to me, but her face is red with anger, and she is trembling.
What¡¯s this? You don¡¯t like me, but you get upset when I am made fun of....
¡°Seriously, okay? Earth. It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re the son of a hero. As long as you¡¯re in this ssroom, the hero¡¯s son and the empire¡¯s princess are just students. Just Earth and Phianse. So let me tell you this?¡±
Saying that, the instructor walks up to me with a serious look while the ss is suspended.
¡°Soon, the final career award submission and the selection of the matches for the graduation anniversary will be announced. If you have good results in your three years, you¡¯re sure to get your desired career path.... Well, there is no doubt that the Imperial Knights will be selected for the match. Graduating from the academy and getting the job you want isn¡¯t your goal, it¡¯s a start. Now you¡¯re just doing a pre-start preparation exercise. It¡¯s up to you to get to the starting line, how you run from there and what kind of goal you want to achieve after you graduate. So you don¡¯t have to listen because you already know the content of the ss perfectly, but you still listen. A guy who neglects the preparation exercise can lead to failure. Do you understand?¡±
The instructor pokes my head while he was preaching and returned to the tform again,ughing.
Geez, so hot-blooded...
¡ºHoh~... ¡»
Then, the Demon King, who listened to the sermon from the instructor to me, nodded as if impressed...
¡ºThe ss is deplorable, but he does have some decent things to say, that teacher.¡»
So, now he¡¯s praising the instructor he called horrid a while ago.
Well, I understand what I was told, and I agree to a point.
Or rather, when the Great Demon King gives recognition to a human being, I should recognize them too.
¡°So, Earth. Answer this history question about the demon army I¡¯m going to issue now. If you can¡¯t answer... It¡¯s supplementary lesson after school for you!¡±
¡°Geh!?¡±
¡ºWhat!? Such inconvenience... I was promised to visit the city afterwards. Do not take supplementary lessons.¡»
A sudden question. If I can¡¯t answer, I¡¯ll have to make up for it.... Not good, I was talking to the Demon King, and wasn¡¯t paying attention to the lesson.
¡°The ¡¾Three Major Magic Eyes¡¿ that exist in the world of humanity and the demons. Name these three, further name the Magic Eye that the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar was said to have and its abilities... Answer it all.¡±
¡°A, all the abilities!?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? If you listened to the ss, you should know.¡±
The question about the Three Major Magic Eyes. In that case, I can manage. I mean, it is a question about the Great Demon King.
¡°Gu-...... Eh, yes. The ¡¾Three Major Magic Eyes¡¿are¡¾Heraldic Eye¡¿, ¡¾Moonlight Eye¡¿, and¡¾Lucent Eye¡¿. Among them, the magic eye that the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar is said to have been in possession of...¡±
I¡¯m sure it was Heraldic Eyes. I know that much.
However, there were a lot of abilities rted to Heraldic Eyes. Answer everything correctly ...
¡°The Heral¡ª¡°
¡ºChild! This is question is a ruse! Do not be fooled! ¡»
¡¸...... huh? ¡¹
Suddenly, I was stopped by the voice of the Great Demon King, the perpetrator himself.
But what does he mean by a ruse?
¡ºI never, the question is about me... however, I set a trap for my opponents.¡»
¡¸Wh, what do you mean? ¡¹
¡ºHuh, my magic eye... it was during wartime, when I divulged to possessing Heraldic Eyes, but in fact it was misinformation.¡»
¡¸Eh? ¡¹
¡ºHumanity was the enemy... so I spread the fabrication to deceive your father.¡»
Seriously? I didn¡¯t know that. Because, the Demon King¡¯s Heraldic Eyes were pretty well known.
¡ºThe eyes I posses... are the eyes that further evolved from the Heraldic Eye. Tis called the ¡¾Six-Gate Eye(Rikudou gan)¡¿.¡» [2]
¡¸Si, Six-Gate? It is the first time I¡¯m hearing this, but... ¡¹
¡ºHuh, tis the eye that is believed to be the root of all Magic Eyes. In the first ce, tis said that the three Major Magic Eyes were branched out in the midst of their long history as the ¡¾Six-Gate Eye¡¿ was passed down to the descendants. ¡»
¡¸What, eh, no way... really? ¡¹
¡ºYes, in short, that is the answer when ites to the question of the three Major Magic Eyes, as a matter of fact, my eyes are not among the three Major Magic Eyes, they are of a ss above them. ¡»
So it was, had the originator himself not informed me, I would have been made to take the supplementary lesson without a doubt.
In that case, he should naturally know the answers about his abilities.
I was lucky it was a question about the Great Demon King.
¡°Hey, Earth. Answer quickly. What are the eyes of the Great Demon King?¡±
¡°The eyes... The eyes of the beginning of all, not among the three great magic eyes. ¡¾Six-Gate Eye¡¿!¡±
That¡¯s why I answered the instructor in full confidence with a smile.
¡°...... What was that?¡±
¡°Heh...¡±
¡º...... What? ¡»
The instructor made a dumbfounded face as he tilted his head.
The rest of my ssmates started buzzing about my answer, and...
¡°Hey, Earth.¡±
¡°Y-Yes sir?¡±
¡±.....Don¡¯t make up magic eyes just because you don¡¯t know the answer!¡±
¡°Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh!?¡±
¡°That¡¯s enough, go stand in the hallway!¡±
Eh!? Th-The answer was wrong?
¡¸Uooooooh, Great Demon Kiiiiiiiiing!? ¡¹
¡ºN- No! Tis no lie, truly! This teacher¡¯s lessons are inurate! My eyes are of the six-gates! ¡»
¡¸Damn you, you taught me Bullshit! ¡¹
¡ºBelieve me! Tis no falsehood! This teacher ignorant of historical facts! Consult with your father and mother! Tis not a lie! Did I not reveal it during the final battle? There is no doubt that the Emperor of this country is aware! ¡»
Thus, I ended up being punished for the lie the Great Demon King told me. However, it seems the answer I gave woulde to have unforeseen consequences.
[S1] I know a certain [Dropout Swordsman ] that would say otherwise. Cool series, check it out.
[S2] Seemed a lot like Naruto¡¯s Rinnegan and the Sage of Six paths. Six Gates seemed more original to me.

The bell rang, ending today¡¯s ss, and it became time to leave school.
¡ºOi, child. Are you done with school? If so, show me a little more of the Imperial City today.¡»
¡¸Yes, yes.....tte.¡¹
Well, even if I say I¡¯m going home, it¡¯ll be after several detours at the request of the Demon King.
I don¡¯t mind a little diversion, I wasn¡¯t refusing.
But...... Before that......
¡¸Well, I can¡¯t go home, I¡¯ve be a supplementary lesson student because of you!¡¹
¡º...... I am not at fault...¡»
¡¸It¡¯s really your fault!¡¹
Yes, after all, the instructor was angry because I mentioned that absurd eye of the Great Demon King, so I¡¯ll be staying for supplementary lessons after school.
I mean, if I thought calmly, the answer that the instructor issued should have probably been the right one, and yet... damn......
¡°...... Hey...... Earth.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
It was then.
In front of me as I was about to get up, there the princess was standing, coldly looking down at me.
¡°...... Uum...... Princess... Phianse...... What can I do for you?¡±
I asked the princess who suddenly stood before me, while recalling that addressing her as ¡®princess¡¯ or using honorifics would be no good.
No, it¡¯s really sudden, isn¡¯t it? As I thought...
¡°Ah... Earth. So, you¡¯ve been intensely staring at me....¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah...¡±
¡°It seems you had something to say to me, so I came here straight away.¡±
In the ss just now... no, I was caught in the flow of the conversation with the Demon King and just didn¡¯t turn away, I wasn¡¯t particrly gazing passionately at you....
¡°No, no, it¡¯s nothing. Then I¡¯m...¡±
For now, let¡¯s get out of here before sheins about something. With that in mind, I slipped by Phianse¡¯s side ¨C
¡°D, don¡¯t be shy! Well, I¡¯m not blind or dumb, I understand! You have something to say. So I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±
¡°Huh, eh, hold on, princess!?¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t address me as ¡®Princess¡¯ now!¡±
I couldn¡¯t slip past her.
No, really ... what? She grabbed my shoulders as I tried to escape, and the usuallyposed princess was breathing heavily through her nose and drew closer to me.
What? Did I do something?
¡°L-Look, you¡¯ve resolved yourself to do something, li, like confiding in me over this and that...¡±
¡°N, no, it¡¯s nothing, really, nothing in particr...¡±
¡°Eeeh, don¡¯t be embarrassed! No, are you? Is it no good in front of everyone in the ssroom? I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t take that into consideration! Should we go somewhere else? Maybe behind the school building? A- alright, if we¡¯re going then let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll follow like normal!¡±
W-What? Behind the school building? Are we fighting? Is it duel? Or, why am I being challenged by the princess I¡¯ve never beaten in a mock battle? [1]
¡°What, i, is it so hard to say? Are you thinking about the difference in status or something trivial by any chance? Then don¡¯t worry. In the first ce, your house is of sufficient status, my father and your parents are good friends, and they were talking about each other¡¯s children in the future. In other words, there are no problems or obstacles, and the rest is up to us!¡±
No good, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s what.
No, really...... to not worry about the difference in status.... does she mean we can fight seriously?
Even so, during our usual mock battles, I always fight with all my power without worrying about the princess being a girl, and still lose.... is this person not aware of that?
¡°Hey hey, what do you mean?¡±
¡°Could it be, atst... Kyaaa!¡±
¡°Oi, are you serious?¡±
¡°What¡¯s going to happen?¡±
¡°What? By any chance, is this it?¡±
¡°We are casually witnessing a historical moment that may determine the future of this country, aren¡¯t we?¡±
And the unusual excitement of the princess was naturally the center of attention in the ss, and it was an atmosphere that seemed interesting to the others watching the interaction between us.
¡°No, umm, I must go to the teacher¡¯s office now for... the supplementary lessons...¡±
¡°Guh, coward! That much...... A-are you that afraid of me? S-such a trivial thing, i-it¡¯s not like you¡¯ll beat me anytime soon!¡±
Sorry that you¡¯re a prodigy or whatever, but get off my case!
¡°Okay, Earth. This time... your match... the event to determine the strongest young warrior...... I¡¯m sure you and I will be selected.¡±
¡°Ha, haha...¡±
¡°And, in my n... well, the finals should be down to you and me, so intend to dere to everyone that I¡¯m going to do something in the future. But you won¡¯t even make the finals if you¡¯re so timid!¡±
What? This princess, does she want to beat me up before the masses and dere her victory? Not sure that makes for a very good personality.
¡°E, even if you say that... basically, I¡¯m yet to be selected.
¡°No, I¡¯m sure you and I won¡¯t have a problem. Or rather, the world will want to see ¡®the battle between the children of the Seven Heroes¡¯.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s true, but...¡±
Yes, I said I¡¯m not sure I¡¯m going to be selected yet, but with my previous grades I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a problem.
Also, there is a trend that the world wants to see the event of ¡°The Battle of the Children of the Next Generation of the Seven Heroes¡±, and as the princess says, she and I will definitely be selected.
We have the top and second spots.
But honestly, I¡¯m really not keen on it. In the first ce, I lost all my matches to the princess.
¡°Aah~, fine already! Goodness, such a coward.... When you¡¯re selected, you¡¯ll take it seriously then, right?¡±
¡°No, princess that...¡±
¡°Anyway! No, if you have something to say, then you¡¯ll say it! Well, I didn¡¯t think you would go about it in such a half-hearted manner, but, I want to be told.... I, I¡¯ve heard it¡¯s what a man would want to say. So, anyway man up and say it! Well then!¡±
And then, my replies and responses werepletely ignored by a rough groan as the princess left the ssroom.
That was the interaction between me and the princess.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Haah!... good grief.¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, the ssmates sighed in disappointment, and...
¡ºI see... ¡»
By my side, the Demon King with his arms crossed...
¡ºThough she seems a child prodigy, the princess was unexpectedly clumsy [] ... while you seeming to be talented are an imbecile.¡» [2]
¡¸Eh! W-what do you mean!¡¹
¡ºAnd, in addition, regarding you...you are so insensitive that I wondered whether you might becking something as a life form...rather than worrying me, you speed right past that into irritating me. You irritate me to the depths of my being.¡» [3]
¡¸Ha!? ¡¹
¡ºOr rather, as you , despite appearances, fail toprehend it, what would you know about a person¡¯s heart?¡»
For some reason, I was viciously scolded and made a fool of.
[S1] Okay, should I add ¡®Dense Protagonist¡¯ to the tags as well? Because seriously...
[S2] There word used here was ¥Ý¥ó¥³¥Ä Ponkotsu, which wiktionary says mean ¡®worn out¡¯ and ¡®no longer useful¡¯. I figured ¡®mature¡¯ went better. Ignore. After re-edit, clumsy worked best.
[S3] This scalding take down is courtesy of [nobaraotome] over at reddit. My original attempt had the demon king more passive aggressively sparing Earth¡¯s feelings. But him showing his disdain would mirror the reader¡¯s feelings I believe.
[Chapter 10 – Intermission (Father and Emperor)]
Chapter 10 ¨C Intermission (Father and Emperor)
Tranted by: Sads07
In a certain room, the Emperor and the Prime Imperial Warrior, who are considered the pinnacle of all the warriors of the Empire, were having tea.
Normally, the rtionship is as between a Lord and his subordinate.
However, there was no such mood between them, as the air was filled with theughter of old friends.
¡°Yeah so, the other day... Earth got pissed at me.... it¡¯s kinda tough.... at that age.¡±
Talking about issues that could be found in anymon family, is the man who stands at the head of the imperial warriors and holds the title of Hero.
Hiro Lagann.
He was one of the seven Heroes of the world, and the man that dealt the final blow to defeat the Great Demon King.
¡°Goodness sake, to think you became the Warrior Prime, you¡¯ve ways to go... is what I¡¯d like to say, but I¡¯m the same. In both good and bad ways, there are difficulties when ites to Phianse.
Giving Hiro his answer with a wry smile is the Emperor who reigns over the empire.
Solja Depaltia.
He is also one of the world¡¯s proud ¡®Seven Heroes¡¯, and was at Hiro¡¯s side when they stood up to the Great Demon King.
If Hiro is a young figure that looks like a man in his twenties even though he is in his thirties, this man is in his thirties, but he looks so good one would assume he¡¯s in histe teens.
With long shiny golden hair bundled at the back of his head, and androgynous yet handsome features caught halfway between a little boy and a young man who still retains a little innocence.
¡°But young Phianse is naturally full of talent. In that respect, Earth isn¡¯t as good, I wish he would breakthrough that wall already.¡±
¡°Earth is not as stupid as you are... his situation would be hard to get through I suppose. However, in the future, such qualities might be beneficial.¡±
¡°Is that so? Me, I¡¯m like a jack of all trades, but... he can do much better... am I an overly doting parent for thinking so?¡±
¡°Of course not. With me... and...... I strong think that way about Phianse.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, but... whenpared to Miss Phianse, and even ¡®Rebal¡¯ and ¡®Fu¡¯ who are studying abroad....¡± [1]
The Emperor and the Chief of Imperial Warriors. However, when not in a public ce, the conversation between these two would be of parents concerned about the growth of their children.
¡°And so, what about that story? That...... ah... after Miss Phianse and Earth¡¯s graduation from the Academy... that...¡±
¡°Earth... as Phianse¡¯s fianc¨¦...... you mean that?¡±
¡°Ah. You see...... Long ago, we were drunk and made a joke.... Phianse happened to be listening and took it seriously, but at the time, I passed it off as the fancy dreams of a cute kid.¡±
Then, with a little embarrassment, Hiro talked to Solja about the future of their children.
In response to the question, Solja smiled bitterly.
¡°Haha, Phianse is serious even after turning fifteen... I mean, with the graduation approaching anding to check with me many times, she wants to announce it in uing games.¡±
¡°Seriously...? How are you¡«. Earth hasn¡¯t been told yet, but... you fine with this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. Rather, I would be happy if it would be so. Our children bound together, and everyone being in the family.... I believe it would be wonderful.... After that, their love for one another... It would be so moving to everyone around.¡±
¡°Dahahaha, but if you say so, I¡¯d be thrilled, but... it¡¯s just, the guy... to be honest, he¡¯s fallen for Sadiz.¡±
¡°What about Sadiz?¡±
¡±...... that girl, [If Little man bes aware of the princess¡¯s feelings and seriously considers it, yet still chooses me... we may runaway together ?] she said.... with that vicious smile of hers.¡±
¡°T-That¡¯s a problem...¡±
¡°Well, to be honest, I don¡¯t know how serious Sadiz is.... also, she¡¯s pretty twisted.¡±
Such was the discussion among adults that Earth himself was unaware of.
It was a scene of two men who talked about a peaceful and happy future while holding their heads in worry.
Then, at that moment.
¡°Excuse me. Oh... Your Majesty...... Warrior Prime. I say. I¡¯m surprised you came all the way to the Academy.¡±
¡°¡±Instructor!¡±¡±
To the person who suddenly entered the room, the two called out, not with the expressions of parents worried about raising their children, but with child-like smiles.
¡°Please stop, instructor. If a teacher calls me ¡®Warrior Prime¡¯, it might drive me mad.¡±
¡°We are the only ones here now, so please don¡¯t call me ¡®Your Majesty¡¯.¡±
¡°Haha, this is all just~, well, if it¡¯s not in public, it¡¯s still... So, after this are you two...?¡±
¡°Yes. The principal and I are discussing the establishment of a new school building to be a sister institute.¡±
¡°This project will also strengthen our connection with other countries, so I would like to cooperate fully.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Those two... really, they¡¯ve be amazing people.¡±
That person was their teacher when they were students at the Academy, and...
¡°So, sir. Are you teaching our children in one of the subjects now?¡±
¡°How¡¯s it going? Our kids.¡±
¡°Oh, we just finished a lecture in our ssroom. And...... it¡¯s about those two...¡±
Now he teaches their two children, Earth, and Phianse.
The man who became the instructor for two generations of parents and children has a serious look on his face towards the parents.
¡°First of all, Phianse seems to resemble the old Solja. She is worthy of the moniker ¡°godchild¡±, and puts in the effort without being arrogant about her blessed talent. She garners a lot of trust from her ssmates, and will definitely lead the empire well in the future. However, it¡¯s unfortunate that there are times when she¡¯s a little confused and doesn¡¯t regard her surroundings, also sometimes she¡¯s pretty stubborn.¡±
¡°Is that so...¡±
¡°And Earth is also excellent. There is no doubt about it. His efforts are decent. But everyone, including me, builds up the hero, Hiro to him. It¡¯s be a burden, and I¡¯m concerned thattely I¡¯ve been seeing a little bit of rebellious behavior.¡±
¡°Really...¡±
Being told the current situation of the two, Solja and Hiro nodded their head in response to the matter.
It was the exact impression that they had recently felt of their own children.
Having heard from a third party about their issues and concerns, they both came to think that they had to do something about it.
¡°But, ultimately Phianse is fine. Well, the recent problem is Earth.¡±
¡°Instructor?¡±
¡°Main point, Earth tried to answer my question by saying something cheeky. That¡¯s why I made him take supplementary lessons afterwards!¡±
¡°Oh yeah, hahaha. I was made to take a lot supplementary lessons by my teacher. Good times...¡±
¡°That it is. Well, it¡¯ll be time soon. I¡¯ll see you twoter.¡±
The instructor lightly grumbles about the errands he has after this.
And as he was leaving the room, he suddenly remembered...
¡°Oh yes, Earth did say something peculiar.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
About the previous ss.
¡°[What was the magic eye of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar?] to that question his response was ¡®Six-Gate Eyes¡¯ or something. Seriously, that boy...¡±
¡°¡±Eh!!!???¡±¡±
¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll be going now. If you¡¯re free, do give a little encouragement to the other students.¡±
¡°¡±Ah, s-sure, sir!¡±¡±
The instructor took his leave after their discussion, but the content was too shocking, thus both Hiro and Solja were petrified and could not move for a while.
Then, after a few seconds of silence, they open their mouths, their lips trembling as they look at each other.
¡°..... H-Hey... Hiro... N, now...... what did the instructor just say? What was Earth¡¯s answer?¡±
¡°Si...... Six-Gate eye......was it?¡±
¡°..... D-Did you tell him?¡±
¡°Dumbass! I don¡¯t need to be reminded! But only we Seven Heroes know about it. Why...... does Earth know?¡±
¡°..... It¡¯s better to conceal the existence of such horrible eyes. That¡¯s why we agreed, just us who were there to keep it a secret.¡±
¡°...... Who was it? Who revealed something weird to Earth? Oh no...... did I say it while wasted?¡±
Because the father and the child never took the time to face each other ... the fact that he has not seen his son often enough ... The path that the father wants his son to follow is gradually shifting.

Thank you very much for your support.
The spiral force delivered by everyone is amplified, and I feel energetic.

Please continue to support and read.

[Chapter 11 – ] The Argument
Chapter 11 ¨C The Argument
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºBy the way, child... the graduation game the princess mentioned earlier, what is it exactly? ¡»
Finally, the supplementary lesson is over and I was on my way home. As he walked down the streets of themercial district, the Demon King asked me.
¡°Hmm? The [Graduation Commemorative Match]?¡±
¡ºIndeed. By the name, it appears graduates willpete in front of high-ranking nobles and royalty...¡»
¡°Well, that understanding is not a problem. It means that a few of the top graduates can show off the results of three years study in front of the Emperor. It¡¯s what the tournament is for.¡±
¡ºHoh~... When will this take ce? ¡»
¡°Roughly, two months from now.¡±
Yes, this is a showcase of the young candidates before graduation who aim to be warriors, and the top ss men can appeal their power to the emperors, aristocrats, and even the heads of each warrior organization, and even to other countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that it¡¯s a once-in-a-lifetime event. And depending on the oue, it will have a big impact on one¡¯s livelihood.
Well,tely I don¡¯t really care about that.
¡ºHmm... Tis such an event? So? ¡»
¡°Hnn?¡±
¡ºFrom your exchange with the princess earlier, you will participate as well, will you not? As you said, it willmence in two months, yet you are quitenguid. Are you not motivated? ¡»
The Great Demon King pointed that out as if he could see through my inner feelings.
Yes, I¡¯m not that motivated about it anymore.
In two months, that princess will win... it¡¯s frustrating, but no matter how hard I try...
¡±...... For the time being, I¡¯m preparing myself for the humiliation.¡±
¡ºI see... ¡»
That¡¯s one of the reasons.
However, the biggest reason for not showing any motivation is...
¡ºFu... mostly...... tis because of their biased view that only sees you as the son of Hiro.... and, tis unlikely you will live up to that expectation. That is what you mean. ¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºTis quite reprehensible... for a brat.... as you still are. You hate feeling crestfallen as you are lesser than your father, do you not? ¡»
At that moment, the Great Demon King, with a grinning smile, went straight to the heart of the matter.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s not the case... Rather, even if that happens, it¡¯s my father who will be humiliated. If my father can even feel humiliation, that is....¡±
Not true. It¡¯s an act. I¡¯ve no such feelings.
But, my bluff is meaningless.
¡ºHoh~... feeling rebellious are we? But in your heart... you want to get back at your father. You want to get back at the world. Is that not so? But I also understand that youck the talent to do so. ¡»
¡°Heh!?¡±
Involuntarily, I raised my voice while ring back at him.
¡°D-Don¡¯t mess around. What do you know about me to be fit to say something like that?¡±
¡ºOh my, to not refute that I¡¯ve hit the mark...prehending you is no difficult task. ¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºAll has fallen within expectations. To achieve the unexpected even through stupidity, I believe that is where you cannot surpass your father. ¡»
¡°Y-You¡¯re wrong...¡±
¡ºResign yourself, you will sulk, and then be dispirited. The talent in the well that gave up on going out once he realized his weakness... is this any different? ¡»
No matter what I say, it¡¯s useless, and the Demon King sees right through me.
It was just enough to make me understand, and I clenched my fists in anger and shame.
¡°S-Shut up! The ghost who lost and died shouldn¡¯t be so smug to look down on others!¡±
¡º...... What was that? ¡»
¡°In general, if I gave up, sulked and became dispirited, what about you? You¡¯re a pathetic guy who¡¯s making excuses for losing!¡±
¡ºMmm!? ¡»
At the time, I proimed that while smugly looked down on the Great Demon King, which made his brows twitch.
¡ºChild, when did I make excuses for my defeat? ¡»
¡°Oh, back then, you did say that my father and the others were unfair.¡±
¡ºTis no excuse but fact... one-on-one, undoubtedly the victor would have been me! ¡»
¡°It¡¯s kind of funny... now you can say that as much as you want.¡±
¡ºNu!? ¡»
¡°You actually weren¡¯t that strong, were you?¡±
If my foe talks to me so pompously, I will talk back. If you don¡¯t fight back, they¡¯ll relentlessly provoke you as much as they want.
Then, the Great Demon King drew near me with a fiendish expression....
¡ºDo not speak to me as you please, you wretch! Are you calling me a liar?¡»
...... It shouldn¡¯t exist, such great pressure would be terrifying by any standard. It¡¯s about to transform into something else.
¡ºFine! At that time, with but a fraction of my power, I proved that individually I was superior to any of the Heroes.¡»
And, while approaching me with such powerful aura worthy of his title, the Great Demon King made a certain proposal.
He was defeated in the past, but would have won if my father did not use cowardly methods and was able to read the mood.
...to prove that he was definitely more powerful than my father.
But......
¡±...... You can¡¯t do it, can you? Such a thing. You¡¯re a ghost.¡±
Yes, it is impossible for the Great Demon King, who as a ghost can¡¯t see or hear anything except through me, and can¡¯t interfere with reality.
But the Great Demon King......
¡º...... You shall act as proof, wretch!¡»
¡°Ha?¡±
¡ºYou shall take my ce, wielding the power of the Great Demon King! And thus, be witness to my greatness as you blossom! ¡»
...... Now...... What did he say? The Great Demon King...... wants to train me?
¡ºTo begin with, in Two Months Time! In just two months, I shall raise you to such a level that your Princess would offer little challenge! ¡»
It was a situation that began with the hurling of insults to one another.
I was pressured as it was by the words of the Demon King who was furiously groaning.
¡ºRight, prepare to begin training without dy! Therefore, purchase all items I tell you to! ¡»
¡°Huh, a, are you serious? Um, what am I buying?¡±
¡ºWhen I speak your every response shall be ¡®Osu!¡¯. Now say iiiiiiiiiit! ¡» [1]
¡°O...Osu...¡±
And so, at least this event will have a huge impact on our strange rtionships and the path I¡¯m going take.
¡ºAnd thus, I¡¯ll make a decent Demon King out of you!¡»
¡°No, give me a break!¡±
Yeah..... Huge......
Author¡¯s Note:
I was in sixth ce for the day.
I received the spirit from a lot of spiral friends.
Thank you very much.
When we get to this point, we¡¯d like to break through the upper barrier and push forward.
How far are you going? Forever!
Thank you continues!
[S1] While I endeavor to be faithful to the setting over any Japanese influence, I decided to keep this one as is. [Osu] seems to have garnered some mainstream usage especially in MMA and I feel it will really showcase the Student/Master rtionship between the characters. But if they are any alternative suggestions do let me know.
[Chapter 12 – Motivation]
Chapter 12 ¨C Motivation
Tranted by: Sads07
¡±...... A-Are you serious? You...... train me.¡±
¡ºWell... I may have lost myposure earlier, but... I suppose I have free time, and it might amuse me.¡»
¡°No, but the Great Demon King raising the son of a hero...¡±
¡ºRather splendid! Once Hiro¡¯s child bes tainted! Huhahahahaha, to behold the look of despair on his face!¡»
At first he was all sorts of furious and dered that he would train me, but now he has an awful smile on his face.
Because he thought it would be interesting, or because he was sealed for so long, but apparently he had no intention of withdrawing his word to train me anyway, I just can¡¯t tell what his true intentions are.
However, I was also carried along by the momentum, and was forced to buy various things that he said are necessary for training.
¡±...... All this .......such a pain...¡±
¡ºOii! ¡»
¡°We only have two months, right? That¡¯s about it, and I don¡¯t think it¡¯s going to be any good.¡±
¡ºTis dependent upon your feelings on the matter. Especially hatchlings such as yourself, the early stages of your growth are a simple matter.¡»
¡°No... I¡¯m in trouble because I¡¯m not growing fast enough....¡±
Yes, I don¡¯t know why, I¡¯m just doing what I can.
Not only in the academy, but also with Sadiz helping me study and seeing to my training herself.
However, as if to reject such notions, I am taken down by that prodigy.
Far from my efforts bearing fruit, I¡¯m disappointed that I¡¯m ¡®the son of the hero¡¯.
Then, I gradually felt like an idiot.
¡ºI see. Youck proper motivation. Tends to happen when you feel far away from your goal and be depressed, or when you know not your own path. I would like to ask if I may, what are your ns and goals for the future? ¡»
¡±...... eh?¡±
¡ºIn your future, what do you desire to be and what do you wish to aplish? ¡»
It was like an adult asking a child about his dreams for the future.
However, when asked again, I couldn¡¯t find the right words.
¡°Co,e on... even if you ask me that...... for the time being, I¡¯m going to be an Imperial Knight, but...¡±
¡ºIs that something you decided for yourself? ¡»
¡±...... No, no.....I don¡¯t know.... b, but... it¡¯s just...... everyone thinks I¡¯m going to be....¡±
¡ºI see... then this is where to start...¡»
The Demon King exhaled a sigh as he said so.
¡ºIf youck a clear goal, an image of your future, how would you know what you train for?¡»
¡°No, but I...¡±
¡ºTo not lose to the princess or to live up to the expectations of others... Well, that may be the case, but as sources for motivation they are feeble.¡»
I didn¡¯t expect the Demon King would ask about my path or my future. Even my motivation, as well.
But I certainly don¡¯t believe I want to be a warrior.
When I was a kid, I might have thought that I wanted to be like my father, but now I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the case.
¡°Even if you say so...... to suddenly ask me...... I don¡¯t know.
¡ºWell, I suppose...¡»
I¡¯ve never thought deeply about it before.
When I said that there was no way I could understand even if I was suddenly asked, Demon King nodded and then whispered.
¡ºRight, then let us do this. Putting aside the future for another time, and first of all, we will set a clear goal and a time frame close at hand. The training will be for that purpose.¡»
¡°Close......? That¡¯s to get a win over the princess.¡±
¡ºSimply put, tis your victory at the [Graduation Commemorative Match] in two months time.¡»
¡°Eh!? ...... So sudden...... How did ite to that?¡±
He said something pretty difficult as a clear goal to give to me, as I¡¯m a bit flustered about my future and my goals.
Well, there might be a point where [Beat the Princess = Championship], but....
¡ºAnd the next thing we need is an area to drive motivation for training.¡»
¡°Motivation... Do I need it? ¡¹
¡ºNaturally. Rather than just being told to do so, tis more effective to possess the will to devote yourself to training. So, is there anything that would motivate you?¡»
I know what he¡¯s trying to say. But if I knew that, it would be the least of my worries.
Because I don¡¯t have that kind of motivation, so I¡¯ve been stagnanttely.
Apart from that, I don¡¯t have any great reason to be an imperial warrior, and pursue peace in the Empire.
¡ºTo find motivation, rather than abstract notions such as justice or peace, tis better to have something impure, is it not?¡± ¡»
¡°Eh... Impure?¡±
At that time. I doubted my ears at the suggestion of the Great Demon King, who sees through my inner feelings.
¡ºTis so. Because a person cannot maintain a clean and pure heart forever. Even more so, tis rare for one to remain motivated by trivial and noble things forever. I know the ugliness and desires of humans better than you do.¡»
¡°Oh, yes, that¡¯s right... Is that what you¡¯re talking about?¡±
¡ºAs such, what do you desire, be it wealth, or the promise of reward such as having your father treat you to a meal if you win, anything will do?? ¡»
It¡¯s better to be impure than for a noble reason. I hadn¡¯t thought about it, but is that how it works?
However, I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s a good idea, but the problem is that I don¡¯t want to eat with my father and am not hurting for money either.
¡°Hmmm... Impure motivation, is it?¡±
Nothing came to mind either, and I¡¯m still groaning.
And then......
¡°Oh, Little man, wee home.¡±
I arrived at the mansion, and Sadiz, who was cleaning the garden in front of the entrance, greeted me.
She immediately squinted at what I had in my hand.
¡°Little man, you¡¯re free to stop by and shop, but... what is all this? That is. It seems you have bought a lot, but what do you intend to do that you would buy a ¡®Ladder¡¯? That bag is... sewing needles? No, ¡®acupuncture¡¯? Either way, we have all this in the mansion, right?¡±
Yes, there was adder among what Demon King had me buy because it was needed for training.
As she said there was also one in the mansion, but I should have a personal one ¡°for training¡±, so I bought it for some reason.
To be honest, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m going to use it for right now, but for the time being...
¡°W-Well, just a little-¡±
¡±...... Trying to take a peek at me in the bath, are we?¡±
¡°Of course not! I¡¯ll use it for a bit of training.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Sadiz, who sometimes sees to my training, tilts her head not knowing of what use thedder will be.
Oh right. Oops, yes...
¡°That¡¯s right, Sadiz.¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°About my meals from today... can I see the menu schedule?¡±
¡±...... eh!?¡±
Yes, this was also an order from the Great Demon King.
He said that meals are one way to increase the effectiveness of training, and those menus for morning, noon, and evening will be thorough.
Of course, I¡¯ve never made such a request to Sadiz before, so she¡¯s surprised.
¡°I don¡¯t mind, but... what¡¯s going on? Little man. You¡¯ve never been bothered by such a thing before, and have always said that what I made was so delicious that you wanted me as a bride. And why is it that you¡¯ve always been depressed when I¡¯ve ignored yourments?¡±
¡°W-Well... that too...... anyway, it¡¯s for the sake of winning.¡±
¡±...... Yes?¡±
It¡¯s all for the purpose of winning the [Graduation Commemorative Match] in two months....
But I¡¯m still not sure I¡¯m in the mood to go that far... I guess I¡¯m not motivated enough when I think that way.
¡°What do you mean you¡¯re going to win, little man? What happened? If you have any problems, I¡¯ll not bully you today, so I¡¯ll give you a consultation. If it¡¯s a ridiculous reason, you¡¯ll be teased.¡±
I love Sadiz who¡¯s worried about me, she¡¯s cute.... Motivation...... Impure...... Hmm!
Suddenly, I came up with a dumb idea.
¡°Hey, Sadiz.¡±
¡°Yes, what is it?¡±
¡°In two months... I have the [Graduation Commemorative Match].¡±
¡°Yes, I know. I¡¯ll be cheering for you that day.¡±
You¡¯ll get mad at me, but I¡¯m trying....
¡°If I do it... the tournament...... if I can win the championship...¡±
After all...just once...... I want to go on a date Sadiz in casual clothes once.
¡°Eh!? Yu, eh!? L-Little Man...? N-Now, how? Is it a hallucination? Is little man.... himself...... win?¡±
You¡¯d be surprised. I¡¯m not very motivated these days and that I¡¯ve given up a lot, Sadiz knows enough to understand all this.
From my mouth, due to the word ¡°win¡± that I have never uttered before, Sadiz is unusually confused.
And I... Say.
¡°Well, if I win the tournament...¡±
Damn, I¡¯m getting nervous!
That¡¯s right. But Sadiz knows how I feel, and... it¡¯s not like we¡¯re going to get married, but first of all, we go on a date. That¡¯s it.
If it¡¯s just that, Sadiz might do it, too.
Dating...... Walking hand in hand... say ¡®aah¡¯ for a bite... Hugging, kissing... then, after that, then, depending on the atmosphere... at night...
¡°Let me feel your boobs!¡± [1]
¡°Eeh!? ...... Aaaah?¡±
¡ºHoh~...¡»
Un...?
¡°Eh!!??¡±
Shit,Oh no?!
¡°Ah, no, no, it¡¯s not, Sadiz! J-Just now, I ...¡±
The delusion that I envisioned in my heart came out to my mouth!
Oh, Sadiz is very angry and with her smile. Also, the Demon King might have said ¡°Hoh¡± too!
¡±...... Little man...... Ufufufufu, Hohohohoho, it was too horrible a joke that I shouldn¡¯tugh, and yet I¡¯mughing.¡±
¡°Oh, haha...I- I¡¯m sorry. My mistake...... Fo...... Forget it.¡±
¡±.......................¡±
I¡¯m a dumbass! It¡¯s different..... with Sadiz I want.... more, I mean pure love.
¡±.................... I see. Alright.¡±
¡±......... Eeh?¡±
No!? Eh?! To?! Eeh!? Eh!? J, just now, Sadiz...... Eh?!
¡°To be frank, it¡¯s a request someone lower than shit would make, and should be reported to the Master as a matter of sexual harassment... but... Little man has recklessly dered victory...... for a moment my heart was shaken.¡±
Saying that, Sadiz faces me with a serious expression.
¡°So, it¡¯s absolutely a secret from the Master, but... If You Can Win Little man, then! Then you can y with the puppies all day!¡±
¡°Hah!?¡±
¡°My goodness... the Princess and others will aim to prove the Empire¡¯s military prestige to the Imperial People and other countries by winning this tournament, it is considered noble and honorable to show everyone that they will lead the future era, but for Little man its tits....¡±
Did I hear her wrong...?
Although she¡¯s looking at me with cold eyes like I¡¯m a worm or less, she¡¯ll let me feel her up. Not just that, but free for a whole day!? Kept secret from father!? If I win the championship, seriously, eh, can I do as I like with her boobs!?
¡°What are you staring at? You¡¯re winning the championship, right?¡±
Then, looking a little embarrassed, Sadiz finishes cleaning and returns to the house.
Leaving me alone in front of the entrance...
¡°Oh, oh...UUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!! ¡¹
Oh now I¡¯m motivaaaaaaaaaaaaated! I never imagined any of this!?
If I win... If I win the championship, a chance at Sadiz¡¯s boobs depends on whether I win or not!?
What? Pure love? What¡¯s that? No idea! Is the love for her boobs not enough?
¡º...... W, well...... as suggested tis better for your aim to be impure.¡»
The Great Demon King whispers in satisfaction, not that I cared about that.
¡°Great Demon King! No ... Tre¡¯ainar! I ... I¡¯ll definitely win! So train me! I¡¯ll do as you say! So...... Please, Osu!¡±
¡º............¡»
In order to show courtesy to Tre¡¯ainar who I¡¯m asking for guidance from now on, I bowed for the first time after correcting my posture.
The Hero¡¯s child bows to the Great Demon King, irrelevant.
From now on, we¡¯re in a rtionship between a master and a disciple.
And, Tre¡¯ainar sighs as if a little concerned...
¡ºU, uh huh, let us proceed! Then, in two months time, you will win the championship, and the bosoms!¡»
¡°Oh Oh!¡±
I swore to my soul that I would achieve it even with my life on the line.
Author¡¯s Note
I was the fourth ce overall for three days.
Apparently, the drill still continues to turn.
Once it rotates, it moves forward a little bit.
Thank you very much for your support.
I¡¯m getting excited!

¡°And what do you use thisdder for?¡±
¡ºIt¡¯sdder training.¡»
¡°What¡¯s that?¡±
Fully motivated, I changed into my exercise clothes of short-sleeved half-pants, went out to therge garden of the mansion and sat down.
I¡¯m not just sitting down, I¡¯m flexibly loosening my body.
Tre¡¯ainar calls it ¡°stretching¡±.
And the problem is the mysterious use for thedder.
¡ºTis about increasing one¡¯s agility and perception. To grant you the Ultimate Step... gain the ¡¾Magical Step¡¿technique.¡»
The technique has a shitty name... but I won¡¯t say anything......
¡º...... Come up with the technique name yourself.¡»
¡°Oh, rather... keep going...¡±
Even if I don¡¯t say it, he would find out what I¡¯m thinking. Well that¡¯s enough. If it¡¯s for the boobs, I¡¯ll take it seriously.
¡ºFine, we will settle thister. First, stretch your body firmly, gradually. Concentrate.¡»
¡°No, haven¡¯t I done enough already? I¡¯m pretty limber.¡±
¡ºStill. Tis to improve physical ability and make a daily habit of it.¡»
¡°Geez... fine. But can you tell me what kind of training we¡¯re going to do? Do I have to be flexible, what¡¯s thedder for, and anything else?¡±
¡ºHmm... Training schedule or... Well, if you¡¯re curious...¡»
I¡¯ll do whatever I¡¯m told for the time being, and put in a serious effort.
But I wanted to know what the hell I was going to do.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar......
¡ºFirst of all, you take the time to warm up by stretching thendder training. After that, body technique exercises, and practice magic and forbidden arts which best suit your physique.¡»
¡±...... Huh? Oh, wait a minute.¡±
¡º...... What? Surely you have noints, right? ¡»
Hearing to words ¡°Forbidden Arts¡± mentioned so casually at the end made me anxious, but, well, the other party is the Great Demon King.
If the Great Demon King teaches you magic, you may end up with a curse.
But one more thing that bothered me was...
¡°When do we train my swordsmanship?¡±
¡º............¡»
Yes, I¡¯m the category of ¡¾Magic Swordsman¡¿, same as my father.
I¡¯ve been practicing it since I was a kid, and am still swinging 5,000 times a day. Even if Tre¡¯ainar says too many times for training is useless.
¡ºAbout the sword... I will not use it.¡»
¡°Ha? ...... You mean you yourself don¡¯t use a sword?¡±
¡ºNo. You...... do not possess the aptitude for the same heavy-handed swordsmanship as Hiro.¡»
¡±............?¡±
¡ºIn other words, youck the talent to be as Hiro.¡»
Oh, you¡¯re wrong? A ridiculous remark was uttered as if somehow my life so far would bepletely denied!?
¡ºIt seems you have mixed feelings about your father, yet at the root you probably long for him. Hence apparently your techniques and swordsmanship imitate your father.¡»
¡°Well, well... I¡¯ve been imitating him since I was a kid.¡±
¡ºBut tis just an imitation. Enough for a second-ss opponent, but you can never achieve a breakthrough.¡»
¡±..................¡±
I¡¯m the son of a hero, but I¡¯m not cut out to be a magic swordsman...... It can¡¯t be, all my life I¡¯ve been told and beenpared to my father, now you say I was ¡®never talented¡¯.....
¡ºOn our first meeting between the seals, you tried to attack me with a ¡¾Magic Sword¡¿, did you not?¡»
¡°Oh, at that time....¡±
¡ºYes. At that point I was already aware. You have no talent for that style.¡»
I still could not easily ept the sudden remark.
It¡¯s only natural. I was denied all I¡¯ve umted in my lifetime, even though it was short.
¡°Well, seriously... how do you know that?¡±
I wondered how he could say that to me though we had just met yesterday.
¡ºHmm, can¡¯t be helped... tis a long-winded exnation, but... Humans, demons, and demonic beasts each have distinct forms and distinct masses. Features, such as speed and reflexes, also differ. Nothing in this world can fit everything the same. Do you understand this?¡»
¡°That¡¯s true, but...¡±
¡ºAt the same time, the swordsman uses a sword, and the brawler brawls... meaning each has a body and function that suits them.¡»
Then, to my question, Tre¡¯ainar exins it in a very theoretical manner.
¡ºFor instance, a giant orcs may have an ideal body for swinging a club and attacking with power. Do you believe that giant orcs are good at ballet and such?¡»
¡±...... That is...... Sure...¡±
¡ºFollowing that logic, for you a ¡¾Magic Swordsman¡¿... rather, Hiro¡¯s fighting style is unsuitable. He is the type to focus a suicide attack on a single point without thinking ahead. He utilizes the firepower of his magic in the sword to the utmost in order to defeat his opponent. This is realized when the person possesses great muscle mass, a tremendous amount of magical power, endurance and fortitude to resist a half-hearted counterattack. None of this applies to you.¡»
Rather than understanding, the more I listen to the long exnation, the more depressed I feel.
¡ºYou are Hiro¡¯s son, but your inherent strength and magical power differs from your father¡¯s. No matter how much you imitate Hiro, you can never surpass him.¡»
Above all, it¡¯s as the Demon King says, so I guess that exnation is really true.
I can¡¯t be my father.
I don¡¯t have that talent.
Naturally, it was a shock.
However, by being given clear guidance by someone like this, I immediately had a lot on my mind.
¡±...... Haha...... Ever since I was little... all that time, I was swinging my sword.¡±
It became a habit. On rainy and windy days, I never missed my practice.
The skin on my hands peeled and my nuts got smashed... Even so......
¡ºOn the other hand, for a hard sword style like Hiro you have ample flexibility, as you have mentioned. Tis a supple body that springs. Perhaps you... are more akin to your mother.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºIf you to use a sword, your fighting style will inevitably be built up around the sword. But first of all... you, the function of your own body...... In other words, by facing your individuality, you must begin by making the most of yourself. To reexamine the functions of the body, physical techniques are the best.¡»
I was in the middle of a shock, so I couldn¡¯t hear everything, but hisst words reached my ears.
I have another ¡°talent¡±.
¡ºIf you are bound as a swordsman, you may be best suited to wielding that gentle, flowing sword. However, if you are to wield it, first of all, you must be intimate with the functions of your own body rather than the arm of the sword. If so, to master it in two months time might be feasible.¡»
I looked up naturally and tried to listen to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words without speaking.
Tre¡¯ainar said to me, ¡°I¡¯ll never be able to beat my father, even if I imitate my father,¡± because it sounded like she was saying, ¡°I have my own talent.¡±
Unlike my father, my personality is my own. I never thought of it.
¡ºAnd Hiro is a single-cell idiot.. He can only use simple, power-driven magic with an emphasis on destructive force, but fine spells were beyond him. Magic is not just about having magical power, it also requires a brain to understand the theory behind events. You are better than Hiro in that respect. Expand the magic more.¡»
It¡¯s not just the sword. It is true that my father can use the ¡°Blow-All System¡± in terms of magic, but I have heard that his grasp at the more detailed ¡®Auxiliary System¡¯ of magic is not good.
That? Surprisingly, father has a lot of faults?
¡ºDo you understand? If you diligently apply yourself to training, of course, you will win the championship in two months. If you bestow more time, it is possible to raise you to the level where you can defeat Hiro!¡»
Those words, it wasn¡¯t just big talk or being swept by the momentum of our conversation.
There was simply an idea and the chance of the victory in properly following Tre¡¯ainar.
And the rest depends on if I can put it into practice or not.
¡ºHow is it? Child ...¡»
Yes, the rest is up to me. I could not helpughing at such a question.
¡°Haha-ha... My father... everyone around me... they would be surprised. The son of the hero ¡®Hiro¡¯ will not fight as a ¡¾Magic Swordsman¡¿.
¡ºYou do not approve?¡»
¡°I-it¡¯s not... Somehow, I have a rather pleasant feeling about this! Not like I¡¯m my father¡¯s son......exactly, more like I¡¯m myself! I feel like a curse upon me has been reduced a little bit, and it made me feel better.¡±
I got it. I was shocked, depressed, but I felt a weight off my shoulders.
I felt liberated from something.
I¡¯ve already found that I don¡¯t need to imitate my father and feel aplex.
And now that I¡¯m free of such a thing, I¡¯d rather have the tion of something new that suits me.
¡°Please, Tre¡¯ainar. Lead me to the right path.¡±
At this time, regardless of Sadiz¡¯s boobs or any motivation, I myself felt ¡®I want to do it¡¯, and I was genuinely saying that.
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone, I am always indebted to you.
When I looked at the ranking of the day this morning, it was the second ce overall.
I¡¯m here to thank you for being here.
Suge!!! But it¡¯s nice and frustrating!? I remembered a certain thing in a ce where I had mixed feelings.
The main character Earth also said the word that someone somewhere used to say in the story.
¡°Do I have to be in first ce? Can¡¯t I be in second ce?¡±Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[Chapter 14 – Hopscotch of the Demon King]
Chapter 14 ¨C Hopscotch of the Demon King
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºNow, once you are flexible enough we shall begin thedder training. Now, I shall provide a demonstration.¡»
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainarys thedder to the ground. [1]
The Great Demon King¡¯s training finally begins.
That is......
¡ºNow, first stand before thedder then step in the square grid between thedder¡¯s scaffolding...¡»
¡°Ah...¡±
¡ºJump quickly while aligning both feet and move forward. Jump straight. Do not step on thedder, step in it, andnd only within the squares.¡»
...... The Great Demon King jumped forward all Totototo with both feet together.
¡ºThen, you carry on as such.¡»
¡°O-Osu...¡±
¡ºWhen you¡¯re done, return to the first point, and then move forward with your legs aligned and jumping left and right. The trick is to jump with both feet andnd on both feet. Do notnd to a single foot alone.¡»
Once, the legendary Great Demon King who made the world tremble jumped back and forth with both feet.
¡ºNext, one leg and the other, and then open both legs and jump a third time. Next is the other side, so, repeat the opening and closing, Hopscotch, Hopscotch, with a proper rhythm.¡» [2]
¡°O-Osu...¡±
He had driven mankind into the depths of fear and was intoxicated by the cries of tragedy and blood. The brutal and outrageous Demon King is ying ¡®Hopscotch¡¯.
¡ºAnd this time, Hop, Hop and quick...¡»
¡±..... o-oh... but...¡±
No, no, I¡¯ll be cursed to death if Iugh now!
¡ºOut, in, out, in, out, and lom with both feet...¡»
¡°O-Osu.¡±
¡ºNext on one leg, lom.¡» [3]
However, this is the Great Demon King shaking his ass and zigzaging?
¡ºSkipping, one, two, three! One, two, three!¡»
¡°Bu, Gur, u... hehehehehe...¡±
Skip Run dance ? of the Great Demon King!
¡ºAre you motivated or are you nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooottttt!!!¡»
¡°No, it¡¯s not...¡±
¡ºAnd yet your attention was led astray!? Hehehe, dough!¡»
And so, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s patience finally ran out.
¡ºYou said you would take this seriously.¡»
¡°I, I know! I¡¯m going to do that...¡±
No, I understand. It¡¯s no use getting angry at my behavior when you¡¯re diligently teaching me how to be my true self.
However, when seeing that Great Demon King skip and Hopscotch in front of you,ughter is inevitable.
I might be the first man in history to witness the Great Demon King skipping.
¡ºHonestly... All right? Thisdder training is not only a warm-up, tis effective for improving basic skills!¡»
¡°Is that so?¡±
¡ºYes! Tis apparent I need to exin the effects first.¡»
Having said that, while I was a little blushing and angry, Tre¡¯ainar taught me the effect of this strange thing.
¡ºWith thisdder training, we can train your ability to quickly step, stop and turn, and even slow down, turn back, and elerate. Do you know what that means?¡»
No, let¡¯s ignore the previous skip. I won¡¯t ridicule him anymore.
Now, I¡¯ll earnestly give it my full attention.
Improvement in functionality can be obtained ording to the words of this Tre¡¯ainar.... That is......
¡°Does that mean I¡¯m going to use my body better?¡±
¡ºTo be more precise, it is to increase the reaction speed of nerves and muscles.¡»
Nerve and muscle reaction speed? I get it, I don¡¯t get it.
¡ºHumans and demons both transmitmands from the brain through the nerves to muscles... Good reflexes mean that the transmission response speed between brain, nerve, and muscle is fast. Thisdder training, slowing down, turning back, and elerating in a narrow, limited space, doesn¡¯t work if the instructions are notmunicated to the muscles efficiently, even if the brain knows it.¡»
¡°I... see¡±
¡ºBy coordinating the brain, nerves, and muscles, you can move your body as you please, faster and more urately, and as a result, your motor skills improve. Furthermore...... the faster your reaction speed ... the faster your magic is triggered.¡»
¡°Hah!?¡±
It was quite interesting and frustrating.
It seemed to be a silly discipline, but now that you say that, I felt that it would be effective.
Moreover, will magic will be faster?
¡ºInbat, tismon for your body to be unable to keep up with your mind. Gaps and timegs that the body can¡¯t keep up with the image thought by the brain may be the difference between life and death on the battlefield. To fill that gap and move as imagined in the mind. This is ¡°the technique that can be acquired¡±. With that in mind, take thisdder training seriously.¡»
Move the body ording to the image drawn by the mind. However, I was convinced that it was surprisingly difficult.
With a vague image of my father¡¯s sword, I kept swinging my sword. For me who never had a clear image of what I wanted to do, this training method is totally unheard of.
¡°I see...somehow, I¡¯m beginning to understand.¡±
¡ºHmm, Then, continue! One, two, three! One, two, three!¡»
¡± O-One, two, three!¡±
¡ºSpeak up! Learn the rhythm first by speaking out! Engrave it on your body! Don¡¯t be shy and raise your voice! HopScotch! HopScotch!¡»
¡°O-Osu! Ho, Ho, HopScotch! HopScotch!¡±
¡ºRaise your arms properly, knees high, maintain a fast and steady rhythm, and KEEP.A.SHARP.PACE!¡»
I mean, if you take it seriously, this is surprisingly difficult and hard, isn¡¯t it?
Moreover, depending on the step, if you try to do it quickly, it bes awkward, your body copses, or you step on adder.
Sure, this might improve the functionality like Tre¡¯ainar says.
¡ºOK, as you get used to it, let us gradually increase the difficulty level. I shall instruct you on what steps you will take from the outside.¡»
¡°Osu. You mean I¡¯m going to have to do exactly what I¡¯m told?¡±
¡ºOf course, that¡¯s not all. I will indicate steps and... also direct the magic attributes.¡»
¡°What? Magic......?¡±
¡ºPrecisely. Simply apply a little basic magic at your fingertips. When I say ¡®fire¡¯, all you have to do is light a small me. However, you will activate the magic of the indicated attribute at the same time while doing the steps as instructed from now on.¡»
This time it¡¯s not just the steps, it¡¯s also magic? Well, if only basic magic is enough, what will it do?
¡ºThen proceed, cross-step with lightning!¡»
¡°Oh, cross, oh, that? Whoa!¡±
¡ºSlow! Next HopScotch of the wind.¡»
¡°Gu, HopSco- Aah!¡±
¡ºSomething wrong, why is there no magic? Next, Carioca of the wind!¡» [4]
¡°The wind, all right, get out, uh...¡±
¡ºNo, do not stumble!¡»
...... No, hey, this...
¡°W-What is this, so difficult!¡±
If I try to step, I can¡¯t release my magic, and if you try to activate magic, I can¡¯t step.
And, Tre¡¯ainar is smiling as he expected that I would have a hard time is this situation.
¡ºNaturally. Step while doing something else. Magic while performing another task. That is, to attempt separate tasks simultaneously uses considerable nerves and disrupts the reaction. Those who are untrained are biased towards one action or the other.¡»
¡°Bias... Or...¡±
¡ºFor instance, with you and ady¡¯s bosom... Consider this, could you study magic mathematics while admiring her breasts? Would the breast not deprive you of your concentration rather than calction?¡»
¡°O-Okay, that¡¯s easy to understand... Sure...¡±
¡ºTis the same. In addition, the style of ¡¾Magic Sword¡¿ is essentially established by bncing both sword and magic.¡»
He gave me a very easy-to-understand example that suits me, and I was thoroughly convinced.
And it¡¯s true of the Magic Sword that I¡¯ve been imitating.
¡ºTis possible to simply imbue magic into your sword before the battle and swing it around, but... while waving a sword, tis difficult to quickly and flexibly adapt the magic ording to the situation. However, if you can acquire this, the quality of movement inbat will be dramatically improved, and the uracy of magic will increase a well. The more urate it is, the better the quality and power of magic.¡»
The more you listen the more you hear, I realized how shallow I was without thinking about what I¡¯ve done so far, and at the same time I understand how much this seemingly silly training is worth.
¡°Amazing,dder training... It¡¯s impressive.¡±
¡ºYes, this is the ¡¾Magical Ladder¡¿ training that I devised!¡»
Despite the name, I had no choice but to be honestly impressed.
If I can do this properly...
¡ºDo you understand? This warm-up is to be done every day from now on. If you get used to this, you should be able to see a slightly differentndscape in battle.¡»
¡°Osu!¡±
¡ºThen, skip the wind!¡»
For the first time in my life, I performed the skip- run dance in order to get seriously strong.

Chapter 15 ¨C Thoughts
Tranted by: Sads07
The warm-up took my breath and my mind was spent.
Even though the steps can be fast and rhythmical, the magic doesn¡¯t work well.
Once you¡¯re focused on magic, the steps are disrupted.
I never imagined it would be so difficult to do two things at the same time.
¡°Yes, yes...¡±
¡ºWhat happened? Seems you are out of breath with only this level. You have been raised pampered after all.¡»
¡°Ugu! Gu... One more time!¡±
¡ºFu, Wind Crossover Step!¡»
¡°Nuoh!¡±
¡ºYou put too much strength in the shoulders.¡»
But I have to get used to this. To find a style that will make me stronger and is unrted with my father.
¡ºThen, the bosoms will be out of reach.¡»
¡°Eh!? Oooh, not done yeeeettt!¡±
It¡¯s best to use motivation when you are tired! Yes, it¡¯s an oppai-ration! [1]
I never knew. That¡¯s enough to make me feel like I can still do it, and my heart won¡¯t break!
¡ºYes. Tis good to be motivated, but you are getting messy. Even tired, make sure to do the right steps and cast the right magic.¡»
I can do it! No, I will do it! I¡¯ll get to feel Sadiz¡¯s boobs! Pinch! Su, sucking...... Guhehehehe...!
I¡¯m going all the way.... No, I¡¯ll be a good child who is ready to do it!
¡±...... You¡¯re ying a strange game with a lot of spirit. Little man¡±
¡°Oh!?¡±
I was too focused and didn¡¯t notice any sign Sadiz was there.
Sadiz looked at mydder training and seemed a little amazed.... No......
¡±...... But...... Hm...... This is...... Unexpectedly...¡±
At first she was amazed, but she immediately seemed to be impressed then she had an expression of interest.
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth. This game...... No, did Little man think up the training method?¡±
¡°Eh... No...... This is...¡±
As expected of Sadiz. At first nce, it seems she understood that this training which looks silly is effective in various ways.
That said, I didn¡¯te up with it, but... I can¡¯t tell you the truth. Here......
¡°That¡¯s right. An omnipotent ally granted me this revtion... I wonder?¡±
¡±......?¡±
Well, I¡¯m not lying. Sadiz doesn¡¯t seem to understand my words, and she¡¯s tilting her head.
And Tre¡¯ainar was by my side looking rather smug.
¡°Well, it¡¯s good. Anyway...... I have the menu schedule you had requested. For now, it¡¯s for this month.¡±
¡°Oh, oh...¡±
Sadiz gave me a piece of paper. It¡¯s a menu schedule for my meals that I asked for.
From today, Tre¡¯ainar said he was going to look over it.
¡°Then, if you have any requests, please let me know. I¡¯ll ignore likes and dislikes.¡±
¡°Oh, thank you.¡±
¡°Yes. Please keep doing your best.¡±
Saying that, Sadiz returns to the mansion without asking too much about thedder.
When I opened the menu schedule for my meals from today that was handed to me by Sadiz, Tre¡¯ainar looked at it as well.
¡ºHo-u... ¡»
And, he was impressed.
¡ºTis excellent. A rich menu.¡»
Saying that, he praised Sadiz¡¯s menu. I was a little proud of that.
¡°Ah. Sadiz¡¯s cooking has a lot of variety, and is all delicious. Her housework is perfect, and she is beautiful... Hey, I really have to get married.¡±
¡ºNo, not that.¡»
¡°What?¡±
¡ºI assumed you were eating only luxurious high-quality ingredients every day because you are a rich son who grew up spoiled, but it seems not.¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar says what he means while looking at the menu schedule.
¡ºTis a well-thought-out bnced menu with proteins, vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates and lipids. What¡¯s more, the variety of menu ensures that you do not get bored or the same item is not repeated.¡»
¡°Oh, yes... Is that it?¡±
¡ºOh. Tis especially suited to a body in development like yours. You are currently in a critical stage during your growth period. Very well, consideration for your body and your health has been put first.¡»
I never really cared about any of that, I just ate my meal as usual while saying ¡°S-soo gooood¡±.
But now that Tre¡¯ainar told me so, I...
¡ºJust looking at the menu schedule... The person who thought up and made this...... you can tell that they care deeply about you.¡»
I got a warm feeling in my heart.
That¡¯s why all the years. Sadiz......
¡°Sadiz is... Before I was born... When she was about three years old, ... In the war with the Demon King¡¯s army, her parents died. My mother, who was at the scene, saved her when she was about to be killed.¡±
¡º...... Seven Heroes... Mamu?¡» [2]
¡°Ah. So, my mother had intended to leave Sadiz in an orphanage, too..... somehow she got adopted, my sister... She was like a daughter and we were raised together.¡±
¡ºIs that so...¡»
¡°And after the war, Sadiz graduated from the Academy with excellent grades and earned the qualification of a warrior. She felt indebted to my mother, so she stayed in this mansion and became my exclusive maid. So Sadiz is to me.... like a real sibling.¡±
I don¡¯t have any brothers, but... my sister is.... Maybe that¡¯s what it¡¯s like.
¡°My father was so busy as the [Warrior Prime]. My mother often travels around many countries. Neither of them is at home often. So...... maybe it¡¯s just Sadiz. She and I... She¡¯s been with me since I was little.¡±
Surrogate mother, fill-in sister. There¡¯s no blood connection, but I really felt that way, and now more... I want... more......
¡ºHmm. I do not understand human romance and love, but... tis quite innocent. She is not merely an object of sexual desire, you have pure affections as well.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s jeers as he said that felt so embarrassing.
But Tre¡¯ainar......
¡ºThen, not only the bosoms as a reward... In the game before you...... demonstrate how cool you are. Tis about handling yourself and fighting with a feeling of gratitude for the woman that nurtured you.¡»
Saying that, and he gave me even more motivation and I got excited.
While hearing that had more motivated, it also...
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar.¡±
¡º What?¡»
¡°Are you really the dreadful Great Demon King?¡±
¡ºWretch, do you truly intend to mock me?!¡»
Somehow, I was starting to get a strange feeling.
[S1] ¡°(>?)¡± This is a terrible pun and I¡¯m ashamed I didn¡¯t know what else to do with it! Any other terrible boob pun that could have gone here? Throw em in thements. Let¡¯s see whose is the cringiest!
[S2] Honestly, with the author¡¯s naming pattern so far, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if Mamu is the actual name of Earth¡¯s mother. The MTL released it as Ma¡¯am but I doubt Tre¡¯ainar would show that respect to an adversary.
[Chapter 16 – A Glimpse]
Chapter 16 ¨C A Glimpse
Tranted by: Sads07
Tre¡¯ainar called thedder training a ¡°warm up¡±.
I saw it as a ¡°preparatory exercise¡±.
However, this is far beyond that.
¡°Hee, Hee... Tssh.... Physically I¡¯m strong, but.... Ha, ha... the preparation exercise might kill me.¡±
Usually, I think of the preparation exercise as the act of loosening the body and a light warm up.
But far from loosening up, my legs muscles have cramped.
¡ºPerform thedder training every day. And even after the graduation games of course.¡»
¡°R-Really... Eeh, my legs... My thighs are jerking. My feet are sore.¡±
¡ºFamiliarize yourself. And make it a daily routine. Once tis a habit, you will feel unwell any day you do not perform it. If that happens, there will no longer be an issue.¡»
¡°E-Every day? I¡¯ll end up a masochist.¡± [1]
¡ºPrecisely. Punish yourself, indulge yourself, intoxicate yourself, and give yourself the addiction. That is to say, be a masochist, a narcissist, and an addict.¡»
I ended up spending a lot of time on the Magical Ladder training.
Little by little, I seem to be getting the hang of it, but I still can¡¯t do it perfectly, so I¡¯ll have to work it.
But for being called a preparatory exercise, it¡¯s scary.
¡ºThen, next on the training schedule, you will be instructed on body techniques. But before that... have you ever studied any Martial Art?¡»
And next is martial art. Or rather, it¡¯s a full-fledged training from here on.
¡°Once, only as a basis. We don¡¯t even spar at the academy.¡±
¡ºThat so. Then, first of all, show me some of your motions.¡»
¡°Motion?¡±
¡ºHmm......Shadow...... No, ......¡¯sparring¡¯. Yes, do some ¡®Phantom Sparring¡¯.¡»
Ah, Phantom? Ghosts? He¡¯s saying terms I don¡¯t understand.
¡ºOh, are you unaware? Shadows are a staple of martial art training. Tis supposed to be an imaginary enemy you face on your own, and train to avoid attacks with kicks, fists and so on.¡»
¡°Ho-u...¡±
¡ºSparring is a mock battle in which an actual opponent is prepared. And now, what I have just thought of, the Phantom Sparring. Not a virtual enemy. Not even a real partner. You are going up against a ghost with no substance.¡»
So I didn¡¯t know what the difference was. I¡¯ll be sparring with ghosts, not imaginary enemies? With ghosts... Ghost?
¡ºTis so. It shall be me. We shall spar on the assumption that my form actually exists.¡»
¡°What!? Oh, I... with you...?¡±
¡ºAh. Come at me with intent to kill. Instead, even if no damage is given, I shall fight back as well.¡»
No way, a sparring match with the Great Demon King. Sure, I can¡¯t touch him, but we can simtebat.
¡°Hahaha, this might be fun! Isn¡¯t this good? Let¡¯s do it. Let¡¯s see how great the martial art of the Great Demon King is!¡±
Certainly, it seems much more effective than sparing alone assuming an imaginary enemy.
I¡¯m also interested.
The Demon King¡¯s martial art.
Also, how well can I fight against the Demon King?
¡°Hey. Then you won¡¯t pretend my attacks didn¡¯tnd when they actually did, will you? If I score a hit, you should dere it yourself?¡±
I got a little excited, ringing my fist joints, forgetting the fatigue of my legs.
But, against me, Tre¡¯ainar...
¡ºFuhahahahahaha. Even for a genius, the chances of that is zero.¡»
¡°Ha?¡±
¡ºDo you actually think your attacks can hit?¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, the atmosphere changed.
I involuntarily breathe in the invisible pressure that seemed to crush my moment of enthusiasm.
¡ºNow, attack from anywhere. I don¡¯t mind you using magic?¡»
A sparring match with the Great Demon King!
However, the opponent is a ghost, and there is no damage to me even if he fights back.
It is absolutely impossible to die.
But...
¡ºHmm. What happened? Afraid of me, perhaps?¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
A simtedbat? I¡¯m about to fight the Demon King now.
I realized that, and the moment Tre¡¯ainar stood in front of me, I felt a cold sweat.
¡ºNo one will die... there will be no injury. There should be nothing to be afraid of.¡»
Is it so different just by standing in front of me in any form with the intention of ¡°fighting¡±?
Is it so scary to confront an enemy that should be harmless?
¡ºWell...... even if there is no death or injury.... you may end up with a vision of such.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
That¡¯s right, I can imagine it.
There¡¯s a feeling like somehow lives are on the line, even though I know I¡¯m not going to die.
It¡¯s so heavy, painful, and cold that just looking at his eyes makes my consciousness seem far away.
An overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Tre¡¯ainar who usually listens to my conversations and talks normally... scares me...
¡ºIs something wrong, coward? Tis what everyone is saying about you, right? Those words you hate the most.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºStill, you are only the hero-¡»
However, as usual he raises my motivation, and intes my fighting spirit!
¡°B-Be quiet! It¡¯s annoying! Let¡¯s do this!¡±
¡ºHmm... He seems smarter than his father... are the simpler parts still the same... But, that is the first step.¡»
¡°Oooooooooooh!¡±
However, no matter how much your fighting spirit, it is impossible to overturn it as well. You can¡¯t overturn reality!
¡°Imperial Fluid Art, ¡¾Rapid Flying Swallow Fist¡¿(Hyaren Hienken)!¡±
I start off and got in with a series of left fists.
The high speed lefts which goes out at irregr trajectories to disrupt the opponent...
¡°Hmp,hmp¡±
While ncing at all my movements, he quickly evaded my fists. Without moving one step away from the spot, on the contrary, he only moved his upper body to avoid them.
But I can¡¯t be surprised at that now.
After making sure he was fully concentrating on the left fist ¨C
¡°Take this!¡±
Right low kick! Enters ¡ª
¡°Eh!? ...... Ah... Wha?¡±
¡ºIs that it? Are you even trying?¡»
The moment I tried to kick out, something blocked my vision.
It was Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s fingers.
¡ºHmp, there is no damage, but instinctively did you realize? Had I have taken even one more step, your eyes would have been crushed.¡»
¡°... eh... Naa!¡±
I wasn¡¯t alert, but I couldn¡¯t make any sense of the movement.
My vision suddenly darkened, and it took me a while to understand that Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s fingers were in front of both my eyes.
But this time... After taking some distance again......
¡°Thunder Spell, ¡¾Kilo Thunder¡¿!¡±
Because the opponent is a spirit body, there will be no damage, but he should still be able to be deprived of sight.
I¡¯ll hit Tre¡¯ainar with thunder from the sky after taking some distance on the backstep.
And then, I¡¯ll pursue. Break his footing!
¡°Terra Spell, ¡¾Kilo Ground Crack¡¿!¡± [2]
¡ºConsidering your rather rebellious character, surprisingly your performance tends towards the royal road.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
While Tre¡¯ainar was wrapped in the lightning sh that fell into the garden, I thought I would cause a light crack in the ground with my feet that would swallow him.
¡±......EH!....¡±
¡ºCome now, no need to hold back. Keep trying.¡»
When... behind me... Did he go around?
Tre¡¯ainar was behind me, faster than I distanced myself in the back step.
¡°Eh, wha!¡±
Don¡¯t be scared. Because the opponent is the Great Demon King... this is rather...
¡ºHmm... Tis a pretty straightforward attack. Hence easy to read, there is no surprise. But, this much should be enough now.¡»
A series of left and right fists, back fist from the swing, a high kick from his blind spot.
However, all my attacks have been seen through and avoided.
It¡¯s nothing to do with my opponent being a ghost, I can¡¯t seem tond any of my attacks!
¡ºI see... tis limited to the era when I was alive, but... have you already attained the power of an Intermediate Warrior? I also discovered that Earth is proficient with Thunder attribute magic.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºInexperienced in martial art,bat logic, magic power... does not approach the Heroes of those days, but you still have more talent than the norm.¡»
A word of praise while avoiding my attacks with a slight margin.
That said, I¡¯m not happy at all when I¡¯m told in this situation.
¡ºAfter all, what is regrettable is that youck actualbat experience or the opportunity to frequently dive into the battlefield as in the era of war. That is why you are constantly told, ¡®You are not reliablepared to the previous generation.¡¯¡»
¡°S-Shut up!¡±
¡ºYes! Silence them! All around you! The world! Everything!¡»
I won¡¯t shrink from this, I willnd a hit, even if it¡¯s a single blow you will eat one of my attacks. But......
¡ºBut, tis clear to me now. And so...... take this as an experience.¡»
¡°Ah?¡±
¡ºI will not touch you, I will not kill you, I will not hurt you, I will break your spirit and have you kneel.¡»
From that point on, honestly I didn¡¯t really understand.
¡ºCome on, experience firsthand! A glimpse of the power of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar!¡»
But I knew this.
I was killed many times in a Phantom Battle.
[S1] Well, considering who he¡¯s in love with...... Win-Win I¡¯d say....
[S2] I will be following takumidante¡¯s suggestion and use Terra for Earth Attribute magic. Even the author seems to opt for Soil instead of Earth, so he may be aware of the conundrum. He caused an earthquake with this though, lot more than just ¡®Soil¡¯!

Chapter 17 ¨C To Know
Tranted by: Sads07
I don¡¯t remember what happened afterwards.
However, in the fight against the insubstantial ghost, I was instilled a vision.
The image of my neck twisted with a hand sword.
The image of my heart being pierced with one finger.
The image of being punched in the face with a counter against my fist attack.
The image of every bone in my body being broken.
The image of being kicked in the knee and then the face.
All my martial art was put out, I was killed, and the image of being destroyed was imprinted.
I tried to fight back, but it was in vain.
His movements seem to be the final form of the steps from thedder training, and sometimes he¡¯s able to set counters against my attacks.
At the end, I ignored all the basics and the body techniques I had learned in the academy, and I simply lost myself to a child-like tantrum which left me ridiculously exposed.
¡°Haa, ha... the heck...... What¡¯s going on....¡±
Not much time has passed.
The evening light is still in the sky, not yet night.
Well, after a few hours, Sadiz shoulde to get me.
However, that she¡¯s noting means it has not been that long.
And yet, I felt intense fatigue as if he had been fighting for hours.
¡ºHmm, have you been killed too much as expected? Well, was this little enough to revise your opinion of me?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar looks down at me with a cool face.
¡ºHowever, it seems the basic of basics in martial art have been imprinted. Later, add a shadow into your daily routine while looking into a mirror, all other physical training is just a matter of sparring.¡»
To be honest, I can¡¯t make a fool of him anymore.
For me, it¡¯s like ¡°Even if you die and be a ghost, you can easily kill them.¡±
Even though I didn¡¯t actually die, I was able to experience the feeling of actually dying.
¡ºOkay? We will also spar like this every day from now on. If you experience my movement and overwhelming strength every day, there will be nothing to fear from those children there.¡»
I¡¯m fighting him every day... Somehow, my senses will change in various ways.
¡°It¡¯s pretty... hard master.¡±
¡ºDid you think you could be stronger so easily? In order to be stronger in a short period of time, the duration of frustration must also be denser.¡»
¡°I guess... that¡¯s right.¡±
With such a wide range of contents, I was worn out and started to fall asleep on the spot.
Still, there must have been a curse, but... I don¡¯t know.
¡ºWhat happened? Could it be, did disappointment in your ability lead you to lose your fighting spirit?¡»
¡°Well...... I¡¯m so weak, I¡¯ve never thought that till today...And, It¡¯s as if...¡±
I was killed many times, was aware of my weakness many times, and I was reminded of his mercy many times.
But the more I knew about the greatness of the Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, the more I thought of another thing.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar.¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡°You... said my father he was obscene and couldn¡¯t read the mood.¡±
What I thought while being beaten... it was about my father.
¡ºHmm? Yes. If it was one-on-one, I would have won the battle, but that man...¡»
As always, Tre¡¯ainar looks irritated, as he still thinks my father is abhorrent.
Well, there¡¯s no foul or fair in war, but I understand his feelings enough to call it a grudge.
But on the other hand...
¡°It¡¯s just... even if it¡¯s so... even if my father was cowardly and couldn¡¯t read the mood... still, you and my father fought.¡±
¡º...... Oh...... Perhaps, but...¡»
¡°Unlike me now, if I fight, I¡¯ll be killed... I¡¯ll be hurt... I¡¯ll be destroyed... against you, if your form actually existed.¡±
The reason I was still facing him was because Tre¡¯ainar was a ghost.
The reason that there was only a feeling and not actually been killed, injured and destroyed in the true sense.
But, I¡¯m still such a mess.
Then what about my father?
¡°My father... stood up to a ridiculous monster, like you, and survived?¡±
It is not a question of whether father defeated the Great Demon King, or whether his means to do so were obscene and he couldn¡¯t read the mood.
He stood up to something like this.
At the risk of his life.
¡°Why... would he face?¡±
For what?
For humanity?
For the world?
Why......
¡ºYou really... you know nothing of Hiro.¡»
That¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar said to me.
¡°Well, to be honest, I don¡¯t know how strong my father really is, in fact...¡±
¡ºNot at all.¡»
Yes, I don¡¯t know.
About my father.
Father¡¯s power.
And......
¡ºThe first thing you should do is... rather than knowing the power of Hiro as a hero, rather than surpassing Hiro as a hero.... first of all,prehend the path that Hiro took to be a hero.¡»
He is not a father called a hero, but a life that has been umted by walking it until the father became a hero.
¡ºPeople ask you to be ¡®the Son of the Hero¡¯, but... he himself, while abominable to me, would not have walked a smooth route, at least, to be a ¡®Hero¡¯. If they believe your ¡®Hero¡¯ father could always face it without fear, they are mistaken.¡»
Yes, I don¡¯t know the process because I only know the result of my father defeating the Great Demon King.
That¡¯s why, as I currently am against such overwhelming difference in power, ¡®Why did I face it?¡¯ I don¡¯t know.
¡°Whatever you say...... My father is just busy, and that¡¯s what...¡±
¡ºDid you not even try to find out? Did you investigate it yourself?¡»
¡±...... T-That¡¯s...¡±
¡ºI understand you do not face the man often ... but did you not, in one way or another, get acquainted with your father?¡»
I never tried to find out for myself. I didn¡¯t want to know that much.
So I had said things like, ¡®Well, teach me the sword, give me your sword¡¯, but as soon as I was told that it was no good, I pulled away.
Above all, I hated being told, ¡®Our era was...¡¯
¡ºIn the old days, if it was said that it would not be helpful because the times are different from the present, then will the old story be helpful, or perhaps tis simply a boast, or do you want to learn what can be learned from it in the present age...that is, it may change depending on the attitude of the listener.¡»
I was made to think about Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, who can tell that I dislike preaching rted to old stories.
¡°You, about my father...will you tell me?¡±
¡ºDo not be silly. You should inquire about your father yourself.¡»
¡±...... Ha, you¡¯re right.¡±
No way, I never thought I¡¯d be interested in my father in this way.
Well, but right now he¡¯s so busy, he doesn¡¯t have time, my father... even if I met him on asion, I could only say that he had been uncooperative. If he had a little time... then I¡¯ll ask.
Also......
¡°You too...¡±
¡ºWhat? ¡»
¡°You too... tell me if you feel like it...¡±
It¡¯s also about the guy who¡¯s looking at me now.
The history of the battles between these two people. I simply wanted to know that.
Author¡¯s Note:
Everyone, I am always indebted to you.
This time, I got a nice review.
Thank you very much.
I want to update it more and more in the tension explosion.
[Chapter 18 – Differences]
Chapter 18 ¨C Differences
Tranted by: Sads07
Morning. The daily journey to the academy feels rather awkward today.
Because my muscle pain is just terrible.
¡°Ah, my legs are heavy...¡±
¡ºHmm. After all child, we never got to the forbidden spell lesson yesterday.¡»
In the end, after phantom sparring yesterday, I was exhausted and mentally drained, and I couldn¡¯t do anything, so my special training with Tre¡¯ainar only went that far.
However, today after school, in addition to the same regimen, magic training will be imposed.
This is also for the boobs. But before that, will I be able to manage the academy?
¡ºWhy not just forgo it? Tis a waste of time. Seeing to your training all day would be more effective.¡»
¡°Well, that¡¯s what I¡¯d like to do as well, but... The other day, I just skipped the afternoon ss, so I¡¯m sure Sadiz will be upset next time.¡±
Honestly, I¡¯d like to skip it too, but Sadiz would get angry and my father will be shocked if such a thing reaches his ears.
¡°Although, I might fall asleep in most of the sses... probably.¡±
¡ºThat will truly be a waste of time... As such, tis training in ss.¡»
¡°Huh? What can I do!¡±
¡ºYou are up to task. All you have to do is meditate quietly. That way, you can utilize your time effectively without distressing the ss.¡»
No way! I didn¡¯t think he¡¯d bring a training session even during ss.
I mean, I¡¯m almost always training except when I¡¯m sleeping....
¡°Eh, practice with meditation... what? Are you deluded?¡±
¡ºTis image training. Are you making light of image training? Unlike with shadows, there is no need to move the body.¡»
¡°Seems easy enough...¡±
¡ºBut, I have devised something excellent. There is magic that may prove more effective than image training. As soon as you arrive at the Academy, sign a Magical Contract.¡»
¡°Huh!? Ah, I¡¯m going to sign a contract at the Academy!?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar showed a motivated expression after suddenly thinking up some good training.
Is he really going to train me in ss?
How in the world...
¡°Hey, what are you talking about in the morning... Earth¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Gah, that was close. Who asked me that?
Eh......
¡°Oh, Princess... Phianse...... , Good Morning.¡±
¡°Ah. Good morning.¡±
No way, I didn¡¯t think the princess of the empire would be standing alone in the morning on the busy street of the city.
Well, I guess the escort Knights are watching over from a distance, but...
¡°What¡¯s going on? You always¡ª¡°
¡°Cough!¡±
¡±...... What¡¯s going on? You usually go to the academy in a carriage...¡±
Yes, the other party is a princess. Of course, every day they are sent to and fro in their carriages escorted by the Imperial Warriors.
But today is not the case, walking?
¡°It¡¯s this.¡±
Then the princess showed me a ss of juice. It is fresh juice from a recently opened fruit shop in the capital.
¡°My ssmates recently said this juice was very delicious, so I was curious to try it.¡±
¡°Oh...¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s why, don¡¯t get the wrong idea, it¡¯s not like I was waiting to ambush someone or anything, also we met here just by chance! We¡¯re heading to the same destination and the sses anyway, so let¡¯s go to school together!¡± [1]
¡°Well...... I don¡¯t mind.¡±
¡°Um Um it looks like it¡¯s. Unhun. There¡¯s no reason to refuse.¡±
I¡¯m still amazed she can talk so fast, but I understood that we would go to the academy together for the time being.
There was no reason to refuse, so when I agreed, the princess ran up and stood next to me.
¡°Fufu... But this is the first time I¡¯ve been to the Academy with you. We were in the same ss for three years... By the way, I didn¡¯t have to talk to the principal directly and force us into the same ss for three years, so it¡¯s really a coincidence.¡± [2]
¡°Well, Phianse takes a carriage every day.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true, too, but... you could pick me up in a carriage, right?¡±
¡°You should walk for your health... that¡¯s what Sadiz says.¡±
Sadiz is also a childhood friend of the princess.
Father and His Majesty are best friends andpanions from the time they were kids, and in the same ¡®Seven Heroes¡¯ party.
Because of that, this princess and I often met when we were little, and we used to y.
Sadiz, who was still small, was there to look after me.
¡°Muh... Sadiz... Hmm.¡±
However, although they yed together, they were not good friends.
Due to our fathers, the Princess and I were forced to y together with Sadiz looking over us. I don¡¯t know why the princess has a bad rtionship with Sadiz, but I was stuck in the middle of it.
And I¡¯d rather be with Sadiz, so even if the princess said, ¡®I¡¯m going home now!¡¯, I¡¯d just going home and y with Sadiz.... so, because it looked like I acted rudely towards the princess, I would end up eating a fist from father afterwards.
¡°Earth... then...... when you go home, you study and train with Sadiz... just the two of you... do you?¡±
¡°No, not as muchtely... I just solve a collection of her math problems, and we eat our meals together.¡±
¡°Oh, yes. Well, it¡¯s not something special... It isn¡¯t, is it?¡± [3]
Something special... I think I¡¯m making progress.
In that sense, for ¡®now¡¯ there has been no progress.
However, it is only ¡®now¡¯ that is.
It all depends on the oue in two months.
¡±...... Hey, Earth.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°That... you...... the discussion about after graduation, have you heard anything from your father?¡±
¡°Eh... From father? ...... Not in particr...... I haven¡¯t seen much of himtely.¡±
¡°Oh... Well then, the future... what do you think of it?¡±
¡°Especially, until then...¡±
What¡¯s this all of a sudden? She looks a little serious, it¡¯s hard to say. Does the talk have anything to do with her unfortunate rtion with Sadiz?
¡°I¡¯m thinking. Thinking about everything...... Trying to get it right. Graduation...... No, with the victory in our match, I will show our fathers, the people of Imperial Capital, and people from other countries. Everything.¡±
¡±..... Victory...¡±
¡°Oh, Earth. I¡¯ve fought with you many times, and I¡¯ve been with you since I was little. Besides, you¡¯re not as smart as I am, but you¡¯re smart. So...... you¡¯re my... you know what my feelings and wishes are!¡±
The princess¡¯s feelings and wishes. I know that.
This person continued to make efforts to be strict and superior to anyone else, even though she was royalty, and became recognized not only by the Academy but also by many people.
It¡¯s all for the big one, which I can¡¯t even imagine.
¡°Oh... Somehow...... But.¡±
¡°Huh!? ...... Oh I see...... you noticed after all...¡±
For the Empire. For the world. For mankind. For the future. We will continue to protect the present peaceful world.
Perhaps she continues to have such lofty feelings.
¡°I¡¯ve never lost to you... That¡¯s why I won¡¯t lose at the games. And when I win the championship... I get everything! Everything... That¡¯s it.¡±
The princess made her deration to me with a serious expression while her face blushes slightly as though she is a little embarrassed to state her goal.
It made me feel her strong will.
It¡¯s a real, unwavering will.
¡°Really...¡±
¡°Oh, yes.¡±
Compared to that, the reason why I fight... If I win the championship, Sadiz¡¯s Boobs... I can¡¯t say that.
If I utter such a shameless thing, I¡¯ll very likely get beat up.
But still... That¡¯s my motivation, so I can¡¯t help it.
And that¡¯s not all.
¡°I¡¯m not sure I¡¯m thinking that deeply about the futurepared to you.¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°But... I¡¯m serious about this tournament, too. No, I¡¯m going to take it seriously.¡±
¡°Wha... What?¡±
When the timees, I hope to look back at my father¡¯s surprised face, and most of all, Sadiz¡¯s.
I also want to be cool in front of the woman I fell in love with.
The Boobs are a chance, and I might be able move to forward with the flow.
More, be in a rtionship that has progressed......
¡°I¡¯m the one who wins the championship!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°As a man... I¡¯ll be cool. And I¡¯ll get what I want.¡±
Get it. I¡¯ll feel them, grab them, lick them, and pinch them, and... them all over myself.
It is not for the empire, it is not for the world, it is not for humanity, nor for the future.
¡°It¡¯s just... for me, it¡¯s just for me, but... even so, I¡¯m getting motivated, so I can¡¯t help it.¡±
¡°Earth...¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to win the championship!¡±
Have I ever said words like ¡°to be at the top¡±, ¡°win¡±, or ¡°absolutely win¡±?
When I was a kid, I felt like I was screaming at things like that and working hard, but recently I thought I couldn¡¯t beat the princess or my father.
But not now.
I also wanted to return the deration of war.
Then the princess began to be upset by my attitude.
¡°T-This is, is, is it that? That...... c-confession, th-that I wanted from the man.¡±
¡°Heh?! This is...¡±
¡°B-B-Because, it¡¯s that sort of thing, right?¡±
Damn, have I been found out!? No, well, my feelings have been exposed since I was a kid.
¡°Tha-That¡¯s right... you are yourself... But...¡±
When the princess heard my promation, she doesn¡¯t get angry or retort, but she seems to be upset about something. However......
¡°Hmm. But I¡¯m the one who wins the championship. Otherwise, even if you get it... I can¡¯t justy on my rear, I mean, I can¡¯t lead.
¡°Ha, you want to win the championship and gain recognition and pull from everyone? But still, I won¡¯t lose.¡±
¡°Th-That¡¯s right... Yeah...¡±
She gradually calmed down, and on the contrary, the princess suddenly smiled at me.
A bright smile that I¡¯ve never seen before.
¡°Then, win or lose, noints. We¡¯ll settle it in two months!¡±
Certainly, no more words were needed.
The reasons are different from each other, but there is no choice but to fight and decide.
¡°Ah.¡±
I understood it, too, and nodded.
And......
¡ºShe said that, didn¡¯t she? Child...... you are intelligent, so you should understand the princess¡¯s feelings.¡» [4]
Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent by my side, opened his mouth...
¡ºI must say. This child is surprisingly na?ve, hecks the faculty to understand anything. And as such, the situation is likely to be so unscrupulous it will provide much hrity. Tis interesting enough, hence I shall remain silent on the matter.¡»
I¡¯m not sure.... Is he trying to say I¡¯m still immature?
However, Tre¡¯ainar said nothing more, as Phianse and I went to the academy side by side.
[S1] (?¨ŒÃó¨Œ) The Tsun is strong with this one!!!
[S2] (©V_©V) Is it? Is it really??
[S3] Fishing for a rival it seems. At least she¡¯s aware of thepetition.
[S4] He doesn¡¯t! I¡¯m keeping the ¡®Dense Protagonist¡¯ Tag!!
Chapter 19 – Even In a Dream
Chapter 19 ¨C Even In a Dream
Tranted by: Sads07
Image training during ss.
So I won¡¯t actually move my body.
But¡¡
¡¸¡¡ I¡¡ I should have been in ss, right? ¡¹
¡¸That¡¯s right. But with the magic you recently contracted, you now reside in the spiritual world that your mind has created. ¡¹
An empty world of pure white that goes on infinitely.
The differences from reality are supposed to be obvious, yet for some reason I feel that my consciousness is clear.
¡¸The magic that you attained a while ago¡ Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿, tis magic that invites the target person into the desired dream. At times I dream when I sleep, but I am capable of intentionally conjuring the dream I want. ¡¹
¡¸Dream intentionally¡ ¡¹
¡¸But, as you have only learned this magic, this is as much as you can do. However, upon improving your skills, you will be able to dream of whatever you desire. ¡¹
I learned it during the break after the first hour at the academy.
The magic contract was implemented as Tre¡¯ainar had instructed in the back of the school building.
Just like the Automatic Calction Magic, ¡¾Exail¡¿, I drew the magic circle and performed a chant ording to his instructions.
And when I cast the spell at the start of the next ss, it came to this.
¡¸Then, when I go to bed next time, if I cast ¡¾Vier¡¿ at the same time as ¡®that he long-looking ancientnguage chant¡¯, will I be able to see ¡®any kind of dream¡¯? ¡¹
¡¸Tis so. A dream of conquering the world¡. To be surrounded by women¡. anything. ¡¹
¡¸Oh¡ Ooooh¡ ¡¹
Can you have any dream you want? T-Then, even if it¡¯s a dream, it¡¯s delicious¡. I wanna try a lotta stuff right away. [1]
¡¸However, this magic requires a degree of sophistication and imagination. Even if you dream of conquering the world, if the level you can imagine is low andcks palpability, you can only reproduce half-hearted images. ¡¹
¡¸¡¡ About that¡¡ For example, no, really, just an example, but I don¡¯t have any intention of using it for such a thing. E-Even if I dream of doing ¡®ero¡¯ stuff with Sadiz, I¡¯ve never seen Sadiz naked, so will I produce only low level results there? ¡¹ [2]
¡¸¡¡¡¡ You are not mistaken, but¡ do not be astonished. Rather, how has he not realized that his mind is wide open? ¡¹
No, there is no problem even if he is shocked. Or rather, have I just been taught some awesome magic?
Right now, when I used this magic, I didn¡¯t think about anything in particr, and it was my first time using it, so it ended up like this. If I could improve the quality of this magic more¡¡ even if it¡¯s a little bit¡ If I could know more about Sadiz¡¯s body¡ even though it¡¯s a dream, happiness!
¡¸But you should be cautious. Tis a dream after all, but it can be reproduced as far as the intention of the wielder. Therefore¡¡ it has been known to create addicts that are too engrossed in dreams and be blind to reality. ¡¹
¡¸Huh!? ¡¹
¡¸As such, this magic was prohibited in the demon world. In a certain country, the popce engaged in dreams that were convenient for them, and as a result of escaping from reality, it was a ce where they were so abandoned that they perished. ¡¹
¡¸No, you know, you should have told me that kind of heavy story before I signed up for the magic! ¡¹
Dreams be an addiction. Sure, if what Tre¡¯ainar was saying was true, it could have happened.
In the world of this dream, she¡¯s so cute, she¡¯s sweet on me, she¡¯s chic, and if, for example, I get some bouncy b-boobs of course¡
¡¸Tis not this ¡¾Vier¡¿, besides, as a man, just make it happen in the real world. ¡¹
¡¸Oh!? Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ I see¡ everything I¡¯m thinking is being overheard¡. no, before that! ¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar showed a frightening face that as I understood I could get the delusions in my dream in hand, but wait a minute!
¡¸This is my dream, why are you here!? ¡¹
Yes, I¡¯m currently dreaming this. But why is Tre¡¯ainar?
¡¸You and I have a spiritual connection. In other words, if you dream, you will share it with me. ¡¹
¡¸Say what!? ¡¹
¡¸Well, I had no means of confirmation, but¡ it seems that the hypothesis was sound. With this, I can train you efficiently even during the wasteful ss! ¡¹
Don¡¯t tell me, even in the dream, we¡¯re stuck together¡ we¡¯re not into each other that way¡¡¡ then, anytime I use this magic, he will be right there!
Then, if I get naughty with Sadiz in the dream, will this guy be watching!?
¡¸¡¡ I am not particrly witnessing the scene, but as I can tell no one, it should be fine. ¡¹
¡¸Don¡¯t go¡ª¡ªno! Just don¡¯t go there ¡ª¡ª-NO! ¡¹
I¡¯m not daring enough to do that while someone is watching me. [3]
Ah, crap¡ I thought I had learned great magic with great pains, but¡.
¡¸Anyway. Let usmence the training. Warm-up and martial art such asdder training and stretching are to be performed in reality. Tis how muscr mass is actually gained. As such, here we shall focus on the forbidden spells. ¡¹
As I hung my head and he pretended not to recognize my mood, the training lesson began.
But¡¡
¡¸No, but is there any point to that? ¡¹
¡¸What do you mean? ¡¹
¡¸Ah. Because this is a dream, isn¡¯t it? Then I can¡¯t make a magic contract, being unable to do so in a dream can¡¯t be helped, right? ¡¹
Yes, after all, this is a dream. It¡¯s not real.
It doesn¡¯t make sense to improve your physical skills and magic in this world, and you can¡¯t learn any new magic.
But¡¡
¡¸You need not worry about that. As I said earlier, this magic confuses reality with dreams. So getting the confidence to be ¡®capable¡¯ in this world is definitely useful in the real world. ¡¹
¡¸Is that what you do¡ ¡¹
¡¸Of course. And the magic you will attempt in this world¡ Although tis forbidden¡ you do not require a contract. ¡¹
While reiterating the importance of image training, Tre¡¯ainar said something strange.
Magic that doesn¡¯t require a contract?
That¡¯s, is that magic?
¡¸Well, I share this spiritual world just like you¡ In other words, in this spiritual world even you are within a spiritual body¡¡ Nmm! ¡¹
¡¸Heh!? ¡¹
¡¸It is also possible to reproduce the old magic with an image! Huhahaha, I had developed this myself, this ¡¾Vier¡¿ is also quite the profound charm! ¡¹
The next moment, there was something wrong with Tre¡¯ainar.
It should not have been possible in the spirit body, light which seems to be magical covers his body, and the light turns into a red steam.
¡¸Th-This is¡ ¡¹
¡¸Can you do it? ¡¹
¡¸¡.. N-no¡¹
¡¸This, rather than magic¡ is something controlled using only magic power¡¡ In other words, tis not ¡®magic¡¯ but ¡®technique¡¯. ¡¹
Magic control technique.
¡¸If you learn this technique, you will eventually be capable of this. One of my favorite deathblows¡ ¡¹
¡¸Hi¡death? ¡¹
¡¸Dense and sharpened, the magical power that overflows as steam¡ Focused¡ Intes! Hardens! And if you can afford it, give it shape, and if you can afford it, make it spin! ¡¹
¡¸Huh!? ¡¹
H¡¡ Huge?
¡¸Wh-What the hell is that¡ ¡¹
Anyway, it is big. It¡¯s big as a house or a building.
The magic gathered in Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s right fist overflowed, turning it into a sharp, rotating spiral.
¡¸Great Demon Spiral ¡¤¡¾Devil Spiral Break¡¿! Well, tis impossible with just two months, but eventually you shall be able to do this. ¡¹
Why, every time, this guy is so amazing, but his naming is shit!
The word spiral appears in both parts! Is saying it twice that important!? [4]
¡¸Name aside¡¡ Well, tis good to learn step by step. First of all, this power¡¡ I shall beat the image of this magnitude into you. ¡¹
¡¸Hey, w-wait!? Is it, you¡¯re pissed at me right now aren¡¯t you!? ¡¹
¡¸Here ites! ¡¾Devil Spiral Break¡¿! ¡¹ [5]
It was worse than Phantom Sparring.
Because it seems in a dream world he can actually attack me.
To the perforated¡¡ No, all the flesh is already shredded and broken down into dust.
No, really, it¡¯s a dream world, but it¡¯s a ridiculous experience.
I don¡¯t know if it hurts anymore, I mean, to receive such a ck-hearted attack.
In the first ce, is this what he¡¯s going to teach me, such a ridiculous technique?
Is it a good technique for such a person?
Or, before that¡
¡°No ¡®Devil Spiral¡¯, it¡¯s already a decent name! ¡¡Tha¡ That?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
That? ¡¡ ssroom¡¡?
The instructor seems angry at the people in the ss who looked back in shock.
¡ºThe effect of the magic seems to have expired¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar muttered to me as I did not understand the situation.
And¡¡
¡°Eh¡ Devil Spiral. You¡¯ve been ckingtely, haven¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡ Um, no¡¡±
¡°Apparently you¡¯re making your own special moves in your dreams¡¡ hmm!¡±
On that day, I was called the Devil Spiral.
Author¡¯s Note:
Everyone, I am always indebted to you.
I received a review again, and it is a state of breakthrough. Thank you very much.
Thanks to you, thebat power exceeds 20000, and still,
I¡¯m sticking to the first ce of the day. (I think it¡¯s going to change tomorrow.)
Since I am in first ce, I feel reluctant to change the pace,
I think I¡¯ll still do it as I have done so far.
Thank you for your continued support.
[S1] ¥¤¥í¥¤¥í used here didn¡¯t have meaning in any trantor. However says iroiro mean various, different kinds of, a variety of. So I took it a ng to this effect.
[S2] Oooh! This is why the author didn¡¯t provide a made up chant for the spell. Every teenager is gonna attempt it so they can spend quality time with their Waifus¡¡.. RIGOROUSLY RESEARCHES SPELL!! WITH FOR ME [JIBRIL]!!!
[S3] Soooo, how long do you think it¡¯ll take Earth to realize, even if he wins the games and ytime with Sadiz he¡¯ll still be in a simr situation??
[S4] Tre¡¯anar¡¯s move name has Ðý the Japanese word for spin;spiral as well as ¥¹¥Ñ¥¤¥é¥ë which is phically pronounced Spiral. The original trantion is ¡®it has both spiral and spiral¡¯ referring to both words meaning the same thing.
[S5] Yeah! I think he¡¯s basically using Gurren Lagann¡¯s [Giga Drill Break] here. The author did admit he¡¯s a fan!!

Chapter 20 ¨C Homeroom
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Well, I¡¯ll be handing out the [Volunteer Warrior¡¯s Notice] paper before everyone goes home.¡±
During the lesson, I spent my life training, and my mental energy rather than my body was greatly diminished.
Iy down exhausted on the desk, but there was a piece of paper from the instructor in the ss.
It confirms the will of the Academy students in terms of their career path after graduation.
¡ºHuh, path... ¡»
¡°Oh. And this is delivered to the destination, and the organization of choice will send you notifications of interviews and the examinations.¡±
There are columns from No. 1 to No. 3 in the application form. If there is no employment up to the third level, it bes a consultation again.
¡°You all know that it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that this will decide your future life. So seriously think of your choice before I submit it.¡±
Yes, aspiring warriors decide our course.
¡°By the way, the number one in poprity for aspiring warriors will naturally be ¡¾Imperial Knights¡¿, butst year¡¯s pass rate was 20 times. Please think about that and decide. Well, I doubt the top five students will have to think about it.¡±
That¡¯s right, the ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ is truly a warrior¡¯s flower. Higher sry than hunters and magicians.
In addition, it is possible to rise to the ministerial ss such as the aide of the king if promoted.
To be honest, it¡¯s no exaggeration to say that most of the academy¡¯s students are aiming to be Imperial Knights.
¡ºWell, tis quite a high eptance rate. But...... However elite the lineage, you are but a soldier? Why is it so strict?¡»
¡¸No, that¡¯s right... The war ended ten years ago and the world is peaceful. Because there are enough soldiers.¡±
¡ºHuh, I see... Not only the level decline, but also the sever disarmament... Tis the price of peace. ¡»
Yes, in the days of war like in the past, the country¡¯s budget was put into the military, and the Imperial Knights were being adopted more and more.
But that¡¯s not the times now.
If peacees, we will be able to focus on reconstruction and development, and the hiring of high-ie imperial knights has be a narrow gate.
Well, it doesn¡¯t matter to me.
Because......
¡ºBy the way, what about the top five students earlier mentioned by the teacher¡¯s man? ¡»
¡¸The top five members of the Academy are ¡¾Imperial Knights¡¿ almost unconditionally, without any recruitment exams, only interviews in the form of rmendations. Moreover, the assignment to the Career Group in the Imperial capital............ In other words, it means riding on the main line in the middle of the career path.¡±
¡ºHou... ¡»
Right. The top five applicants will be prepared for the sess course unconditionally.
Of course, as second ce I can ride the course.
¡ºAnd...What path will you go?¡»
¡¸Hah? ...... What to do....¡¹
I was puzzled by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s obvious question.
Whatever course...
¡¸So I¡¯m second in my grade. Even if I don¡¯t do anything, I¡¯m still in a career group. ¡¹
Yes, I was able to go on the road of sess of the ¡¾Imperial Knights¡¿ as it is.
¡ºWhat? You want to get ahead in life?¡»
¡¸Eh...? ¡¹
¡ºAssigned to Imperial capital... In other words, you seem rebellious with your father, but do you mean to end up drinking sweet juice in your father¡¯s prestigious environment after all? ¡»
¡¸Eh.... Wh-What? ¡¹
Eyes as if they were making a fool of me.
The moment I saw his eyes, my heart roared.
¡¸Wh-What are you saying... ¡¹
¡ºNo...Now that I mention it, I have yet to hear that kind of story. ¡»
¡¸Ah? ¡¹
¡ºWhat do you want to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ for? ¡»
For what?
¡ºFrom you, ¡®I will protect this Imperial Capital and the peace¡¯... never have I heard of anything fishy, like protecting the Emperor.... Tis why I assumed that the purpose was simply to seed in life... Unless... Is there something else you want to be for any reason? ¡»
¡¸It¡¯s... ¡¹
¡ºYou repel your father, if as an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ the annoying public assessment you gained would continue to follow.... If sweet juice and sess are not the purpose...... Why be an Imperial Knight? Are your intentions truly there? ¡»
Why did I want to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ in the first ce?
However, I was brought up in an environment where I had to be. No, do I have to? Wrong.
Because my father, my mother, and Sadiz have never told me to be an Imperial Knight.
In the past, I wanted to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ like my father.
But what about me now?
¡°Oh, what are you going to do?¡±
¡°The Imperial Knights, of course! I¡¯m going to take the exams and interview preparation, and I¡¯ll protect the Empire!¡±
¡°I¡¯m applying to the Magic Institute. I want to study more.¡±
¡°I¡¯m... Well... After all, I can¡¯t give up. We have to try!¡±
My ssmates are also talking about the volunteer warrior report handed to them.
Each of them is thinking a lot about the future. It¡¯s a dream, it¡¯s a goal.
Well, it¡¯s natural at this time of year.
¡°Hey, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Eh, oh...... Phianse...¡±
In front of me, there was a Phianse looking down with her arms folded.
¡°No... Nothing in particr...... out of the blue,...¡±
¡°Is that right? Somehow, I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ve been neglecting your ssestely.¡±
¡°No, no, it¡¯s okay...¡±
¡°I hope so. Anyway, you need to be firm.¡±
¡°Firm... I don¡¯t...¡±
Saying that, Phianse just started talking to me.
¡°That¡¯s right. I think you know, I was in the Academy as part of my education, but I¡¯m not going to be an Imperial Knight, Instead I¡¯m going to study politics under my father.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s right...¡±
¡°Then, you¡¯ll be at the top of the ss. Do not be ashamed as our representative, I hope you will do well even in the capital.¡±
As soon as I thought, ¡®Why am I going to be an Imperial Knight?¡¯, I couldn¡¯t immediately respond to the princess, who had no doubt that I would be an imperial knight.
Yes, Phianse is the princess of the Empire. Although she is the academy¡¯s top student, she will never be a warrior.
After graduation, she will certainly go on her way as a member of the royal family.
There¡¯s politics, and there¡¯s a lot more to it, like marrying someone somewhere and securing a session.
In fact, the current emperor married in his teens, and that will not be far in the future.
That¡¯s why as next in the ss when we graduate, I¡¯ll rank first in the ss among the candidates for the Imperial Knights.
¡°In the capital... huh...¡±
¡°Yes, make a solid achievement in the capital, and eventually you will be Warrior Prime after your father.¡±
That is, naturally what I appear to think, even those around me would think so, my life.
¡°Yes. I-if that¡¯s the case, everyone would agree... w-with me about it.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. Even if I became a warrior.... In the end, I¡¯m not as goodpared to my father.... If I leave any achievement, as expected, he is the son of the hero ¡®Hiro¡¯, that¡¯s it.... That¡¯s my life.¡±
¡±...... Huh? What¡¯s wrong... Earth?¡±
I¡¯m still talking to Phianse, and I started to think a little bit, and gradually I felt like I could understand what Tre¡¯ainar felt as he looked at me like that.
It¡¯s boring.
When I think about my life from now on, I felt that way.
Sure, I haven¡¯t thought about my life or the future, but every time I did, I was under the impression that ¡®I had no choice¡¯.
But for some reason, now I don¡¯t think so.
The more I think about it, the more I can¡¯t think of a reason why I want to be an Imperial Knight, and I can¡¯t think of what I want to do.
The only thing thates to mind is that I want to repulse what Tre¡¯ainar said to me, the life of ¡®drinking sweet juice in my father¡¯s prestigious environment¡¯.
[Chapter 21 – Two More]
Chapter 21 ¨C Two More
Tranted by: Sads07
It¡¯s magic training period in the exercise ground.
I was deep in thought while watching my ssmates at the Academy practice their magic.
¡¸Ah... Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. Why did you want to do to destroy the human race? ¡¹
For a moment I was concerned about my career path, while not finding an answer had me worried, I suddenly asked Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºWhat, so sudden...¡»
¡¸No, you told me a while ago... I¡¯ve been thinking a lot about it.¡¹
¡ºHo¡»
¡¸What reasons did you have to be the Great Demon King and try to destroy the human race?¡¹
As a counselor, I feel very out of ce, but at this time I naturally confided my worries about my career paths to Tre¡¯ainar, something I had never done before for my parents.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar also answers without any particr objection.
¡ºWell, there was the simple desire to destroy ugly human beings.... In order to unify the demons in the demon world, it was necessary to create amon enemy.... In the first ce, my desire was to acquire territory far from the dark cloud-filled demon world in the sunlessnds.... If just given, then there is no point in it. ¡»
And, the scale is too big, it does note intuitively, and it is not helpful. It¡¯s obvious.
¡ºHowever, the reasons I became a Great Demon King were from too long ago, I fail to recall my goals, dreams and such immature notions... ¡»
¡¸What, you forgot...¡¹
¡ºTis just... one thing I could say was... I wanted to expand our world... so I thought. ¡»
Tre¡¯ainar whispers so with his eyes looking a little distant.
The roots of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar. The desire is to expand the world.
I don¡¯t know why he forgot the ideals that led to the Great Demon King, or whether he was upset, but it still seems to be ¡¯what I wanted to do¡¯.
¡¸Used to be... I wanted to be like my father.... I used to think about it when I was a kid.¡¹
But now I don¡¯t have such ambitions.
It became even more so after hearing the word said by Tre¡¯ainar a little while ago.
¡¸To find my calling, through the ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿... could be it.¡¹
It is not a path to use as a stepping stone either.
In the first ce, regardless of finding what you want to do, once you be an Imperial Knight, you will probably have plenty of work and not enough free time.
If you look at my father who doesn¡¯te home at all, you¡¯ll understand.
¡ºChild... will one not suffice? ¡»
¡¸What? ¡¹
¡ºI am not familiar with the employment situation of people in the world today, but.... I believe in your father¡¯s time... I think it was a time when one could not choose what path to take, right? ¡»
It was a sermon that I always heard somewhere.
I didn¡¯t think that such a sermon woulde out of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth.
I always listened to these old people¡¯s sermons, such as ¡®in our time¡¯ and ¡®things used to be harder than they are now¡¯.
But maybe something is wrong with me today.
I listened seriously to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
¡ºIn a peaceful world, like yours, you have the power, the money, the environment which caters to hope, and so being idle is a supreme luxury and a sin. You must understand that. ¡»
That¡¯s true.
I¡¯ve been working harder than usual for the past few days, but my goal is to surprise my father and the world.
That ¡®factor¡¯ that has tremendous influence on one¡¯s life, I don¡¯t have that.
And then......
¡ºTherefore, child. Having deliberated on the mater... ¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar changedpletely from a serious expression, and smiled as if he had evil intent...
¡ºWithout benefiting from your father¡¯s influence... to remain in ce so you may have a means to discover your true calling. Tis not that one is nonexistent, is it? ¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡ºBut that... I believe tis too difficult a course for such a spoiled boy. ¡»
I couldn¡¯t help opening my eyes wide. A way to find out what I want to do?
If there is such a thing, naturally I want you to teach me.
But what bothers me is...
¡¸Hey hey, is the road too tough for pompons? What is it? ¡¹
I was asking sulking a little bit at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words as he was trying to provoke me.
And then......
¡°Heeey guuuys! I¡¯m baaaaack!¡±
¡°Such bull... Don¡¯t frolic about.¡±
Two voices suddenly echo in the training ground.
¡°Ah... They...¡±
It was nostalgic for me and everyone.
¡°Fu! And Rebal! ...... I just returned from special studies abroad! Heheeee, everyoooooone!¡±
¡°Seriously... So noisy.¡±
Two men were there.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Kyaaaaaaa!! It¡¯s Fuuuu!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Aaaah, Rebal!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡±¡±Fu, Rival!! You¡¯re back?¡±¡±¡±
The moment they saw them, their ssmates cheered, and the girls were screaming, especially with their eyes shining.
¡ºTis unpleasant. What is happening? ¡»
¡¸...... Oh...... they are also ssmates. And...... just...... my childhood friends.¡¹
And for me, they¡¯re not just ssmates.
¡ºHo. But...... Hm...... Oh... ¡»
Tre¡¯ainar seemed to feel something when she saw them.
In other words, they are the kind of people who get a reaction from the Great Demon King.
¡°Heheee, how are you all?¡±
¡°Hey, I¡¯m not growing any taller if you don¡¯t Fu. So cute!¡±
¡°Wa, wawawa,e on, guys, get back and stop that this instance!¡±
¡°No good! Fu is too huggable!¡±
¡°Waa¡±
¡°Ah, I¡¯m so sneaky!¡±
First of all, the man who is immediately surrounded and crushed on by the girls.
He has the shortest height among the boys of the academy, and an infant body type lower than the girls.
In addition, his childish face, sses, and such a childish behavior are always very popr with girls.
And above all......
¡¸His magic power and capacity is higher than the princess¡¯... In the field of magic, he¡¯s first grade. The son of the ¡¾Great Mage¡¿, one of the seven heroes.¡¹
¡ºOh... I see...... So that is the reason.... the little one there... ¡»
Yes, he is the son of the seven heroes same as me, and he is a childhood friend since we were kids.
Then, he inherited his father¡¯s talent, who was a great mage, and became famous as a ¡®Magical Boy Genius¡¯, and was especially popr among women in the Imperial capital.
And......
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±Kyaaaaa! Mr. Rebal!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°My ears hurt. Don¡¯t talk to me if you have no reason to.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±So Dreamyyyyyy!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
While folding his arms with bored ,sour faced expression, he had a cold attitude towards the girls swarming him as if he found it irritating. Yet the girls found that cool demeanor from the beautiful, long-haired swordsman very attractive.
¡ºWhat about that tall specimen of beauty?¡»
¡¸Ah. He is better than a princess when ites to sword skill andbat ability. He¡¯s the strongest man in our academy. The Man Who Draws the Blood of the Seven Heroes¡¯ ¡¾Sword Saint¡¿...¡¹
¡ºOh, oh... I was there. He fought only with a sword, using no magic, and certainly, he had that assuming air of coldness to him. ¡»
Yes, he¡¯s the same as me.
And, like Fu, a man who is said to be ¡®The Sword Saint¡¯s Sessor¡¯.
It is said that his ability is alreadyparable to that of an ¡¾Advanced Warrior¡¿.
Both of them have inherited their parents¡¯ genes and the expectations of many people.
¡ºHmm. Being witness to this has made me nostalgic. I never have I imagined there would be so many legacies. ¡»
¡¸Oh... Last year, the Empire sent out talented people for study and training abroad in exchanges with other countries.¡¹
¡º...... Were you not chosen?¡»
It irritated me when he hit a sore point.
¡¸There are only two spots for foreign students. It goes the top two students in the ranking. The princess was the overall topst year, but she declined to study abroad, so those two who were second and third at the time became international students.¡¹
¡ºHo... I see.¡»
¡¸What do you...¡¹
¡ºIn other words, your second grade in the rankings is due to being advanced by the absences of ¡®those two¡¯.¡»
¡¸Shut up!¡¹
Yes, that¡¯s exactly right.
Like the princess, the two of them are not equal to the princess in general, but they have the one aspect that makes them ¡®second to none¡¯.
And it was the one aspect that was reminiscent of the talent of their parent, who was a hero, everyone had expectations of them, and they always met those expectations.
Unlike me...
[Chapter 22 – Declaration of War]
Chapter 22 ¨C Deration of War
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Hey, Earth!¡±
¡°There you are...¡±
While I was talking to Tre¡¯ainar, Fu and Rebal seemed to notice me and came over.
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s been a long time.¡±
¡°It¡¯s been too long Earth! Well, you haven¡¯t changed much, have you?¡±
¡°I guess I¡¯ve grown a little, right?¡±
I know he doesn¡¯t mean much with the sarcasm, but starting our chat with ¡®I haven¡¯t changed much¡¯, it felt like he was saying ¡®I¡¯m not growing¡¯, still I justughed and let it go.
¡°Hey, even after all this time they¡¯re still noisy.¡±
¡°Eh, is that so? Oh right, we¡¯ll give out souvenirs afterward, be sure to take it home.¡±
¡°Hmm, darn.¡±
Fu tends to snuggle up to people with such a childish smile like a little kid, while Rebal won¡¯t even approach unless he deems it necessary.
Well, Fu aside, Rebal has always been like this. He¡¯s not a bad guy, but he¡¯s always cold.
¡°So, how was studying abroad?¡±
¡°Yes, it was a great learning experience! I was exposed to various magic, learned about those and about myself... It wasn¡¯t easy, though. I also experienced an actual battle a little earlier.¡±
¡°It certainly was a hassle. Suddenly, a flock of wild fire dragons attacked where they were studying abroad, and we fought as temporary warriors.¡±
Somehow, I feel like they¡¯re a little bit more boastful.
Sure enough, the people gathered around us and saying, ¡°I want to hear, I want to hear!¡± The voice is raised.
¡°Well, that¡¯s right. But I didn¡¯t think you would be back at this time. I thought you guys would return closer to the graduation ceremony.¡±
I was hoping to change the topic because I would just end up miserable if I listened to their bragging story, but Fu and Rebal turned to me with eyes ring at my question.
¡°I¡¯m going to y in the games.¡±
¡°I as well, to prove my strength...¡±
What......?
¡°Earth¡¯s going toe out, too, right? But maybe we¡¯re already... I might as good if not better than Earth or the princess.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but be prepared. We¡¯ve gone through a real battle and we¡¯re already leagues ahead of you.¡±
You¡¯ll be in the match. I thought it would be decided by whether or not I beat the princess.
But these guys, too...?
¡°It¡¯s amazing! Then, Fu and Rebal are participating.¡±
¡°The next match is a battle of the Seven Heroes!¡±
¡°Wow, I¡¯ve been fired up!¡±
¡°The Imperial Capital, no, the world will be shocked when four children of the Heroes sh!¡±
Both of them will participate in the [Graduation Commemorative Match]. The ssmates are excited about it.
And, the level of confidence that oozes out of them.
There¡¯s an aura about them which convinced everyone ¡®there¡¯s no way they¡¯re going to lose¡¯.
And......
¡°Oh ho, Fu. Come on, show us the power you¡¯ve acquired in studying abroad! ¡°
¡°Yes, I wanna see, wanna seeee!¡±
If you have this much confidence, naturally you have something worthy.
Then, the ssmates get anxious to see it.
¡°Eh, here? Hmm, eh, so embarrassing.¡±
Though Fu says ¡®embarrassing¡¯ with his mouth, he doesn¡¯t seem to be against it.
That was a little annoying to me, but...
¡°Well, then... Yeah, you wanna see? ¡¾Bit Fire¡¿! ¡°
Saying that, Fu, who is trying to show power to everyone in some way, sets fire to a tree at the edge of the exercise field.
Bit Fire. It is elementary magic of the beginner level.
Among the magic ranks of Bit, Kilo and Mega, it is the weakest.
Showing such magic now...
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, the entire training ground was engulfed in mes. It seemed as if it had all gone aze for a sh.
¡°Wh-What!?¡±
¡°Hnnn...¡±
The ze of fire is a non-standard meparable to the Mega-ss magic that instructors and others have shown in demonstrations before.
I was trembling at the scale and power.
¡°Uh... That? Sorry...... It wasn¡¯t too big a deal, so I guess it was disappointing? ¡°
With a bewildered expression on his face, is this guy saying that was a mere trick!? The nerves on him!
Oh, not good.
It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve ever been furious enough at Fu to want to hit him.
¡°¡±¡±¡±I¡¯m so surprised!! ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±
To release the highest level magic with the basic ss spells.
How much has he grown in the past year?
Well, if he did that using Mega ss... This guy...
¡°...... I¡¯m surprised.¡±
¡°Rebal?¡±
¡°That¡¯s about it, I¡¯m so surprised.... Then again, this is surprising.....¡±
These guys, they intentionally act unaware as I get the feeling like I¡¯m being looked down on, so irritating!!!! [1]
¡°Earth. In the past year, both Fu and I have returned with absolute power.¡±
¡°... Rebal...¡±
¡°We¡¯re on our next stage. You can¡¯t beat us now.¡±
Rebal asserts that by my side who is at a loss for words.
I don¡¯t have anything to say back.
¡°I¡¯ll win the championship this time. And the victory...I¡¯ll dedicate it to that person.¡±
And, the victory deration.
To be clear, this is the first time that cool guy has said anything hot.
That¡¯s all I¡¯m confident about.
¡°Fu! And it¡¯s Rebal! You were back! ¡°
Then, the princess appeared in such a thrilling exercise field.
Fu and Rebal ran to the princess as if they had been surprised, and on one knee bowed their heads.
¡°It¡¯s been a long time, Princess.¡±
¡°Well, you look good and all. Also this is a reunion of childhood friends, call me Phianse like you used to.¡±
Yes, even to the princess, they were childhood friends. So she smiled happily and put her hand on their shoulders.
And......
¡°Lady Phianse... No, Phianse.¡±
¡°Oh, Rebal. You¡¯re as handsome as ever. We both have heard rumors. You took the initiative to confront the fire dragon that struck the Kingdom of Chicava, got hailed as heroes, and even got the title of Dragon yer. I¡¯m proud as a citizen of the Empire.¡±
Fu shows a smile at the princess¡¯s mention of theirbor. On the other hand, Rebal has a stiff expression, but as if he had decided to do something....
¡°Phianse. I¡¯ll win the next match. Fu and.... you and.... Earth as well, I won¡¯t lose you.¡±
¡°Muh...¡±
¡°When I win, I will announce my candidacy as a prospect for your hand in marriage.¡± [2]
¡°Huh!?¡±
Oh, oh...... This guy has really changed in the past year.
I mean, with all the girls heads over heels for the guy, far from confessing his feelings to someone, is he actually dering it in front of everyone first?
And then, the girls who like him....
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±Kyaaaaaaaa, amazing!! Rebal to the princess!? Lovely! ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
...... I thought they would be shocked, they¡¯re really making a lot of noise, these girls... Well, that¡¯s fine, but... Now, how will the princess respond?
¡°...... Are you serious?¡±
¡°I¡¯m serious.¡±
Serious feelings. Then, the princess also shows a serious face.
¡°...... Rebal... You are a childhood friend, a friend you can trust and respect. And you who make an effort with a desire to improve ¨C¡°
¡°If I win, I swear to love you more than anyone else in the world, and I pledge we will continue to protect the peace of the Empire together!¡± [3]
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°I know how you feel, Phianse. But I wish for a chance to be seen as a man.¡±
Rebal conveys his feelings straight to the other party strongly, regardless of whether there are any people around him.
¡°...... Rebal... I...... I....umm..¡±
And, the princess also seems to be puzzled after being hit with such a strong feeling.
But I don¡¯t think I need to worry about it.
They seem to suit the blood of the heroes, and everyone would agree.
Well, I wish you happiness.
But......
¡ºPathetic, this one... to proim victory..... Huh? ¡»
¡¸...... Hey, hey. ¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar, who was watching the whole scene, spoke to me with a smile.
It¡¯s as if Rebal saying, ¡°I will win¡± was a slight against him.
¡¸Hey, don¡¯t say it so easily. You saw Fu¡¯s magic earlier, didn¡¯t you? That was awesome... Even Rebal will have power of that level. ¡¹
¡ºIrrelevant. After all, both are still at a level that can be achieved. Genius? Inparison, after all, it might as well be child¡¯s y. In two months, they will be overwhelmed. ¡»
¡¸Hey! I can do that? ¡¹
¡ºTis possible. One year of study abroad? Yet all he did was beat a wild dragon? It seems the privilege being able to receive my guidance for two months isparable to a hundred years worth of training. Once, I undoubtedly defeated the dragon king of the demon world. ¡»
¡¸I-it¡¯s not reliable when you say it... ¡¹
¡ºAnd then, that little one. Are you unaware he is merely pretending to use bit ss magic to create a mega ss output? Were I alive, Giga ss... No, I would demonstrate power on the Tera ss. ¡»
¡¸No, wait a minute. What¡¯s Giga or Tera? That¡¯s what I heard, right? ¡¹
After understanding the extent of Fu and Rebal¡¯s power, Tre¡¯ainar asserts that ¡°I am the winner¡±.
¡ºBelieve in me. Whose disciple do you think you are? ¡»
Strangely, I felt the power in those words, and I felt my depression soothing immediately as my spirit was rising.
And......
¡ºAnyway, tis you who will win the championship. However, in order to do that, you will also take on some risks. ¡»
¡¸Risk? ¡¹
Risk. Is there a side effect or something? Certainly, if you beat that level in two months, it¡¯ll be physical or to my life-span.
¡ºFrom now on, you must make your own deration. ¡»
¡¸What? Deration? Eh, what¡¯s the risk...... What¡¯s that? ¡¹
¡ºAre you sure? Well¡ª¨C¡»
The risk involved isn¡¯t physical or to my life-span...
¡°Rebal, I¡¯m happy and proud of your feelings. But I¡¯m going to participate in the next match... and circumstances with him.... ¡°
¡°I know. That¡¯s why I¡¯m back! Before that deration is made! ¡°
While Tre¡¯ainar and I were talking, I felt a scene unfolding like a love story between a swordsman and a princess, but there I...
¡°Wait, Rebal.¡±
¡°... Earth...¡±
¡°Eh, E-E-Earth...¡±
Even though I knew I was in their way, I opened my mouth and carried out what Tre¡¯ainar said.
Words with no basis now.
However, I was convinced by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words that the risk was necessary.
It¡¯s about pushing yourself.
So, I agree, and dere it quite embarrassingly.
¡°I know you guys are strong, but... I¡¯m the one who will win! There¡¯s something I can¡¯t give up either! ¡°
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°...... Heh? E-Earth? ¡°
This deration of mine would be one that ignores the current mood.
Compared to Rebal¡¯s reason for fighting, I just want Sadiz¡¯s boobs and to show off my cool side.
However, since we decided to win the championship, Tre¡¯ainar said that we should not back down here.
After such big talk, it¡¯ll be humiliating if I lose. It was Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s idea to bear that level of risk.
And then......
¡°...... Oh I see... Earth. That¡¯s how you feel. Is that what you¡¯re talking about? ¡°
¡°Ah. I guess I may not be able topete with you now, but... but I have a reason to win the championship.¡±
Rebal came in front of me are we stared at each other.
And then......
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Kyaaa! Th-Th-This is it! Kyaaa!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°A-Amazing! So that¡¯s what it¡¯s all about, that Earth... I don¡¯t want Rebal to win the championship.¡±
¡°What, that¡¯s what it was... Earth. Umm, which one do I cheer for?¡±
Hmm? That? What? I thought I¡¯d be criticized, but suddenly the girls were making a lot of noise, and the men were excited?
¡°Eh, uh, wow, wow, Earth... that Earth dered victory.... Oh, so much about me.... I¡¯m not going to give it to you. ¡°
What¡¯s more, the princess who is in the way of the confession is saying something, but....
¡ºFuhahawaha is getting interesting. Verily. ¡»
Tre¡¯ainar is my master, and while he made me dere it, he seemed very amused.
[S1] Here Earth uses some cutesy/muffled speech which the MTLs couldn¡¯t trante. Thanks to bobsburgerbuns over at reddit for helping me out.
[S2] And the Love triangle be a square!
[S3] Well she finally got the confession she wanted, just not from the guy she wanted....
[Chapter 23 – Raising Feelings]
Chapter 23 ¨C Raising Feelings
Tranted by: Sads07
After the Deration of Victory.
I met my childhood friends again and had tea together for the first time in a long time.... Without doing anything at all, being the first to leave, I returned to the mansion and started my special training.
Phantom sparring, I had forgotten how many times he¡¯s killed me, and although the amount of time I resist him gradually increases, I¡¯m still getting killed.
¡ºHit the left jab then immediately back away and guard. Rather than hitting, be mindful of when to pull back and hold your ground! Your shoulders are too stiff. Loosen your strength. Predict your opponent¡¯s movements by their feet, eyes, and shoulder muscles. If you only react after seeing it, no matter how many lives you have, tis not enough!¡»
¡°Damn...¡±
¡ºEven when worn out strike with your fist! Your legs have ceased movement! Always move your feet lightly. Endless stepwork, ultimate footwork that fumbles the opponent...Magical Footwork is meaningless if you cannot pull it out when exhausted!¡»
¡°...... Let¡¯s go....¡±
¡ºAlways be aware of the timing, your kicks are still too early! Get in the pocket with a quick step-in, the body, the upper, the hook...... Choose an effective fist depending on your situation!¡»
Even if I try to stumble Tre¡¯ainar up by repeatedly speeding and slowing my footwork, I can¡¯t because our levels are too different.
But still, I push forward without retreating, I don¡¯t even mind dying, saying to myself, ¡®I¡¯llnd even one hit¡¯, ¡®I¡¯ll have you eat a shot¡¯, and ¡®I¡¯ll survive for longer even if for a second¡¯.
I¡¯m a warrior.
But my head is cool.
As a result, I was getting to be able to step into thest-ditch battle which seemed to wear out my life.
¡°Heh, heh... I¡¯m beat.¡±
¡ºDo not just drop all of a sudden. Cool down.¡»
A short pause after repeated sparring.
In the end, I couldn¡¯tnd a blow on him, or change the color of his eyes.
I¡¯m doing it a lot, but I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m really strong.
¡ºRest assured, you will grow more than you can imagine.¡»
¡°It¡¯s...¡±
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words were clear, for I had shared my heart entirely.
¡ºYour childhood friend might be a strong man that defeated a dragon, but after all, it was a wild dragon of the terran world. I once battled the Dragon King of Hades, strongest dragon in history and won. There is no doubt about it, because I say so.¡»
What!? The Dragon King of Hades is real? I thought it was a fantasy creature that appeared in fairy tales....
¡ºBut... I think it would be best to adjust the contents of this phantom sparring little by little.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
Unexpected words from Tre¡¯ainar who so far has constantly killed me.
What¡¯s the sudden change in the wind? After all, I¡¯m too weak to train myself....
¡ºAt this rate, you will not be able to acquire the image of defeating your opponent. If you only face opponents who are superior, you will only have the image of losing and being killed. Hence you willck confidence in yourself and flee from attacks on impulse.¡»
Now I¡¯m in the dark, I¡¯m just confronting him recklessly, but eventually I expect that I won¡¯t be able to do that with his guidance.
¡ºTis a psychological matter, but troublesome when ingrained in instinct. I cannot make a step in this circumstance, for it may lead to you giving up at the first sign of danger and retreating.¡»
I¡¯m pretty impressed with the exnation in anticipation of the future.
¡°...... You...... is this a leader¡¯s experience?¡±
¡ºNo. ...... Hmm, what? Am I too much of a good leader that you are surprised? I am different from Hiro, who struggles with raising a child. Not like a hero, what is a hero?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar sticks his chest out with a pompous face, but as usual I nodded ordingly.
Even if he is omnipotent, it¡¯s only possible to go so far.
And the great thing about this guy is not just his knowledge and theory. That is......
¡°Then, if I want to build up the image of defeating my opponent, I¡¯ll have some sturdy guy at the Academy as an opponent in a mock battle.¡±
¡ºNo, you will not!¡»
¡°...... What? Why?¡±
¡ºMy dear fellow, you are very dull. Is that all right? Until thest minute.... or dare I say, until you fight the children of the heroes, keep hidden that you havee to use martial arts.¡»
¡°What? Why...? Perhaps I can prepare countermeasures by any chance....¡±
¡ºThat is not the case! Is that all right? Imagine this situation.¡»
With that said, Tre¡¯ainar exins a scenario to me.
-Alright, next is a confrontation between the children of the heroes! Earth, the son of hero Hiro. And I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting! The swordsman that is already hailed as a hero, the leading hero candidate to lead the next generation! It is the appearance of ¡®Sword Saint Sessor¡¯ Rebal!
-Kyaaah, Mr. Rebal, good luck!
¨C Um, then only Rebal can be my fianc¨¦!
-Well, I¡¯m sure you can¡¯t do anything about it, Little man.
-After all, I wish our son was as good as Rebal.
-Earth, you can¡¯t beat me. Prepare to die.
¡ºIt will develop as such¡»
¡°Hey, it¡¯s pretty messed up!?¡±
¡ºAnd...¡»
-Oops, Earth doesn¡¯t have any weapons, does he? Is this an indication of surrender?
¨C Sloppy. Hey, Rebal, bury that 2nd ce failure quickly so you and I can flirt!
-If only I were to serve Mr. Rebal rather than Little Man.
¨C Tsk, idiot dunce son of mine
-No Mercy, Earth. Now watch as me and the princess flirt. As for Sadiz, I¡¯ll get her as my concubine!
¡°Oh, no, no, Hell no! Oh, Rebal, you bastard, no, I¡¯ll end the whole world!¡±
¡ºBe quiet and listen! So, here it is! You present your biggest grin.¡»
¨C Grin...... Phew...... Everything seems to stop.
¨C What? Earth, what¡¯s with those movements! Oh, my sword won¡¯t hit!?
¨C I¡¯ll make that handsome face look like an orc¡¯s! Demon Cork Screw Blow!
¨C Buheeeee!?
¡°...... Hah...¡±
¡ºAnd the entire venue is stunned... After a short moment, the Empire is astonished!¡»
¡ªEarth, so GREEEEAAAAAATTT!
¡ºSo, how is it? To forgo the path of a magic swordsman, to aspire for power unrted with his father or mother, and to show the battle and power, not as the Child of the Hero, but as ¡®Earth Lagann¡¯. Is this not ideal?¡»
Yes, this is it. The great thing about this is not only knowledge and theory, but also how much he can raise my feelings!
¡°Hey! Tre¡¯ainar! I¡¯m excited...¡±
¡ºRight?¡»
I can¡¯t stop trembling. I¡¯ll show them all, the ones who have been disappointed with me so far.
I couldn¡¯t stop my tion from overflowing as Iughed at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s smile, ¡®How is it?¡¯
¡ºSo, your sparring partner will be created by my ¡°imagining¡±. Using ¡¾Vier¡¿. After Phantom Sparring, tis ¡®Dream Sparring¡¯ in a dream world. I will prepare goblins and beasts!¡»
¡°Ah. Come on and on! To beat that bastard!¡±
I¡¯ll do it. I¡¯ll show it to everyone! My power! That I exist!
To that end, bothdy-killer Rebal and the shitty princess will face death!
¡ºNo, the previous example was a little exaggerated... No, I care not. Seems he has acquired the bloodlust he needs for the struggle.¡»
I got it! I¡¯ll kill you!
¡ºThen, seeing as sparring will have numerous variations in the future, today we shall skip to the next training... on to Forbidden Spells¡»
¡°O-oh... That¡¯s from the other day...¡±
¡ºTis so. The magic technique I demonstrated during ¡¾Vier¡¿. You should be up to task for it. This will be quite painful, but...¡»
¡°Oh, pain? As if, bring it on!¡±
¡ºSuch spirit. Well then...¡»
I want to win. No, I will win. In that case, what¡¯s a little pain....
¡ºThere was an acupuncture set among the items I had you purchase on the first day, right? Prepare that. I shall stab them in your bodyter.¡»
¡°............... Huh?¡±
N-No pain... No gain...... No..... pain... Even if...
Chapter 24 – Not Penance
Chapter 24 ¨C Not Penance
Tranted by: Sads07
I was once again within the world of Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿.
¡¸Now, you will learn the secrets of the magic techniques I demonstrated the other day.... Then, to get you ready.¡¹
As usual, my body still aches considerably withdder training and phantom sparring, but if I keep at it for a few days, I feel I¡¯ll gradually get used to the training.
On the first day, I could only dodders and phantom sparring, but today I was able to train forbidden spells.
And now, like Tre¡¯ainar did before, we¡¯ve begun Forbidden spells training within ¡¾Vier¡¿.
¡¸First of all, as basic knowledge...... Magic is a phenomenon that drifts in the air, enters and exits the body through conduits called ¡®Magic Holes¡¯ and is incorporated into the body¡¯s ¡®Magic Tank¡¯ for storage, fastening, and release through the magic holes as necessary. You know this, do you not?¡¹
Before teaching forbidden spells, Tre¡¯ainar started talking about the basics of magic, as if to confirm my knowledge.
I was listening obediently though it was a subject I¡¯m familiar with.
¡¸I am an Academy student, aren¡¯t I? I understood it even as a kid.¡¹
¡¸Hmm. Then you must be aware that [Capacity of the Magic Storage Tank = Magic Capacity]. However, you can also understand that [Magic Capacity = Magic Power] does not hold.¡¹
¡¸Ah. That¡¯s the form of [Magic Emission Amount + Degree of Magic Discipline = Magic Power], right?¡¹
¡¸Correct. In other words, regardless of the Magic Capacity, tis possible to release powerful magic by raising the degree of discipline or even the ¡®Magic Emission Amount¡¯. That makes it easier for the tank to empty quickly, but aside from that, how do you ¡®Increase the Amount of Magic Emission¡¯?¡¹
¡¸That¡¯s right,....... To be precise, ¡®how much you can open the magic holes of the whole body¡±...... Right?¡¹
¡¸Tis so. Rather than putting air into a bag and making just one small hole to get a little air out tis better to make a lot of holes. In other words, it means that [Magic Emission Amount = Number of Open Magic Holes].¡¹
It is the basis of magic theory that is learned in the Academy. I nodded so far as I could understand.
And......
¡¸Then, do you know how many [Magic Holes] are present in the whole body, regardless of whether they are open or not?¡¹
I can¡¯t answer the question urately. Or rather, it¡¯s because it has not be clear even with modern magic medicine.
However, if you average the number of magic holes that are opened......
¡¸I don¡¯t know. However, if it is ¡®open¡¯, about 10 in the ordinary person. The average number for Academy students was 20. In a medical checkup mine was 30 and Fu¡¯s was 60.¡¹
¡¸Well, that is the way it is.¡¹
However, strong magic cannot be released just by having arge capacity of magic.
The power of magic depends on how many holes you have opened.
¡¸Even magic training can improve power, but there is a limit to that. Life cannot release more magic than can be released from its magic hole. And the number of magic holes that are opened is different for each person.... The more you have, the more talented you are, tis especially true of mage ancestry.¡¹
¡¸Okay...¡¹
¡¸And the capacity of the magic tank is also different for each person. In other words, the open magic holes and the magic tank capacity.... meaning, those who are born with both the amount of magic emission and the magic capacity... they are talented...... that, we refer as genius.¡¹
Yes, that is irreversible.
And the number of my magic holes is half of that of Fu.
Even the princess had 50.
¡¸But there are some people in the world who are a little out of bnce. Those who have a lot of magic capacity, but little magic power, even those who have a lot of magic power emissions, but limited capacity¡¯ and so on.¡¹
¡¸Huh...¡¹
¡¸Ignoring the level of discipline for now... let¡¯s quantify the magic capacity of the body, and make the number of magic holes a numerical value of the amount of magic emission. In that case, for example....¡¹
And the conversation went on, and Tre¡¯ainar created a ckboard in this fantasy space with his imagination and wrote something out in chalk.
Hey, you¡¯re really like a teacher, aren¡¯t you? [1]
¡¸In this case, Example 1 has more magic capacity than Example 2, and can unleash the Bit ss magic of consumption 20 five times. On the other hand, Example 2 has only half of the magic capacity of Example 1. But if only one time, tis possible to release more powerful magic than in Example 1.¡¹
I know this exnation. In other words, just because you have a lot of magic, there is no point if you don¡¯t have the power to release it.
¡¸Now, if you were to quantify the boy named Fu earlier and yourself. This is what happens.¡¹
¡¸And, well, it will be as such...¡¹
Well, that¡¯s how it is.... normally I would just agree, but wait a minute!
¡¸Wait, damnit! Then, in terms of both amount of emission and magic capacity I¡¯m losing, so I can¡¯t win!¡¹
¡¸Right. In a magical battle, tis almost certainly impossible to win as you are now.¡¹
¡¸It¡¯s...¡¹
¡¸You cannot win on your own now. First of all, firmly face this reality, and listen to the rest of the story.¡¹
First of all, let me know where I stand.
However, when presented with the numbers in this way, the difference is clear and painful, but it also puts the reality into my hands, I need to be stronger.
On top of that......
¡¸With respect to magic capacity and the amount of magic emission, one can increase it with some training, but you cannot dramatically increase both in a short time. However, if tis only the amount of magic emission, this can be done in two months.¡¹
¡¸How is this?¡¹
¡¸Heh!?¡¹
The amount of magic emission is tripled!? It¡¯ll only give one shot, but can release magic stronger than Fu¡¯s!?
And, what is Giga ss really!?
¡¸N-No way, how do you do it? You can increase the amount of magic emission with a certain degree of discipline, but as you have said earlier, when ites to magic capacity, it has more to do with talent!¡¹
¡¸It can be done. The trick is to ¡®increase the number of magic holes that are opened¡¯ by taking over the form of [Amount of Magic Emission = Number of Open Magic Holes].¡¹
Increase the number of opened magic holes. Certainly, it is theoretically possible to increase the amount of magic emission.
¡¸The number of open magic holes is usually several dozen, but the number of ¡®closed magic holes¡¯ in the human body is actually several hundred or more. Originally, it would require long periods of exercise to gradually open them up... But if we cooperate, we can force them to open in a short time.¡¹
¡¸S-Such a thing...¡¹
But it shouldn¡¯t be that easy.
¡¸...... Can it be done in two months?¡¹
Usually, years of training. And also talent isbined together to open them.
But in two months?
¡¸Tis possible. You forcibly open the closed magic holes.¡¹
¡¸Are you serious...¡¹
¡¸Now that I am here, tis possible.¡¹
I even felt reliance on Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, who asserted that it was possible.
I wonder if this Great Demon King can really do it.
And......
¡¸Well, child. I shall use the acupuncture set that you bought on the first day.¡¹
¡¸Ah... th-that¡¯s no way...¡¹
¡¸With my omnipotence and omniscient eyes... I can urately determine the positions of closed magic holes throughout your body. The closed magic hole possesses a subtle irregrity in it. You will have to stick an acupuncture needle through it.¡¹
¡¸Eh.¡¹
¡¸Let the magic flow there, stimte the closed magic hole, and force it open. That method is most effective.¡¹
The method presented was to pierce acupuncture into the body.
Or something like that...... Acupuncture pierced in my body.
¡¸Keep in mind. Humans in the East also use acupuncture as a form of medical treatment.... But... the only way to force open a closed magic hole, is not through treatment... tis restructuring.¡¹
¡¸...... Does it hurt?¡¹
¡¸Do you believe this woulde without any difficulty? Not to mention, the geniuses who make an effort.¡¹
It seemed I¡¯m being told to clench my teeth and endure it.
¡¸Due to the severity of the pain, opening one or two holes a day is the limit. But if you repeat this for a month, you should be able to achieve this number in theory.¡¹
¡¸So! ......d-does it hurt?¡¹
¡¸Well, as an example...... I force it between the nail and finger¡ª-¡¹
¡¸I don¡¯t want to hear iiiiiiit!¡¹ [2]
They stick acupuncture in their bodies. Moreover, it seems considerably painful.
¡¸Damn it, seriously... uh.¡¹
¡¸But without at least that much magical power, you cannot perform techniques such as the Devil Spiral Break that I showed you.¡¹
¡¸...... Are you?¡¹
¡¸Yes, the techniques to contain the magic power in the body¡¯s tank and control it freely... ¡¾Great Demon Super Evolution ¡¤ Breakthrough¡¿ bloom!¡¹ [3]
Does it hurt? But if I endure it, I can do that too.
¡¸Does~ does it hurt... ah~... But ...¡¹
¡¸I think this is one of the risks. Even for a shortcut, I doubt power can be obtained easily. You have to ovee intense pain. But that is why the fact that you have endured the pain will be the backbone that will support youter.¡¹
Yes, I know.
To gain power in a short time, it is natural that a reasonable price is necessary.
However, the pain does not end only today.
ording to the conversation, we¡¯ll keep doing it for a month.
A month...
But......
¨C Uh... That? Sorry...... It¡¯s not too big a deal, so I guess it was disappointing?
Well, the figure of Fu is in my head. It was repeated in my head many times.
¨C Yes? I¡¯m sorry, I was surprised that it wasn¡¯t too big a deal.
Gradually changed little by little......
-Heeeey, you guys are surprised to see the power of my magic! Nooow, which woman do I y with todaaaaay ?? [4]
¡¸No, that is too much of an exaggeration. You are not keeping to the model anymore, are you? ¡¹
Anyway, that pompous baby face making everyone go ¡®KyahKyah¡¯ annoys me.
I¡¯m going to humiliate him a bit.
¡¸Let¡¯s do iiiiiiiiiittt!¡¹
¡¸Then, release the spell and get up! I shall guide you to the precise points.¡¹
¡¸Nuoooooooh!¡¹
That¡¯s why I decided to clench my teeth and endure it, and then lifted ¡¾Vier¡¿ and returned to reality.
¡ºThen, ready? Here and here. Thrust it in, go!¡»
¡°......it¡¯s bullshit after all.¡±
¡ºNever mind that, a little. Just the tip... little by little...¡»
¡°Little by little... Or...¡±
¡ºYAH!! ¡»
¡°Higu! ...... Aagh.¡±
The moment I applied acupuncture needle at the point I was told to, I got scared. As I just held acupuncture in my hand, Tre¡¯ainar startled me from behind, and I was so surprised it got to the root....
¡°Gag gyu gah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!¡±
My body burst open suddenly.
My internal organs seemed to explode.
My whole body is burning hot.
A sensation like all of my nerves are exposed.
I feel the flow of pulsating blood fluttering like the sound of my heart.
Is a wound being gouged with a blunt de?
The feeling of being stabbed by a rat-backed spine in the eyeball and crotch?
It¡¯s pain I¡¯ve never experienced before, yet such intense pain darts all over. [5]
¡°Gah, Gugya, Gagagu Agyaaaaaah!?¡°
Even if you bite on a towel in your mouth like a gag and desperately curb your screams, your sweat, tears, and pain won¡¯t stop at all.
¡°Fugu-uh, fugu-u-! Gu, Guuuuuuufufufufufufufu-!!!!¡°
Hell...... This is hell.
Penance!
¡ºI tell you, to not call this effort, it may as well be called penance, right? A man who desires strength calls the pain he suffers to be strong penance. Then, think of this as a prerequisite and ovee it! Imagine yourself getting stronger and think of it as the price to get there! ¡» [6]
And I, ended up...
¡°Little Man? I heard a strange voice, but what¡¯s going on......? Lil¡¯ Earth!?¡±
I stabbed myself with acupuncture until Sadiz rushed where I was screaming in the garden.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your help.
I reread the story five times now, but the author didn¡¯t understand it either.
It is difficult to express.
So, at level 1 there is only MP30, but we¡¯d like to use the Zi¡ñ Spark with MP25 consumption only once.
No, I really want writing skills....
[S1] Yep! Professor Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s ss is in session!
[S2] Neither do I! Damn this gave me shivers!!!
[S3] Yeah his naming sense is still shit!!
[S4] I imagine a phantom Fu showed up within the dream world at this point!!
[S5] Holy Crap Earth! Your M training is supposed to be gradual. This is too much!!
[S6] Just to remind everybody, he¡¯s going through all this for tits! Those boobs better be LEGENDARY!!

I was absent from the academy.
It is due to the effect of stabbing acupuncture into my body.
Apart from the aches in my muscles, my joints were also wrecked with pain, my body temperature was high and my head was fuzzy.
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth... Why is this... And, such a high fever...... Oh, my Little man¡±
Consciousness is hazy.
But still, I am a little d.
No, it¡¯s not really a little.
Because that Sadiz will take care of me through it all.
Over and over she cools a hand towel and ces it on my head, and every time it¡¯s exchanged, I feel her hand chilled from the ice water, with plenty of care....
¡°Little man, why did you pierce yourself with acupuncture... Not to mention, it was all over your body. Isn¡¯t it really self-harm?¡±
¡°Ch-Chi, Gah. J-Just trying some oriental needle treatment to relieve fatigue...¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it pointless if it affects your health? Now, how worried do you think I was about you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure...¡±
¡°The Master and Lady won¡¯t be back, but today I will not leave Little Man¡¯s side, even for a little bit, so please take care of yourself...¡±
No way, I couldn¡¯t say that the acupuncture had forcibly opened my magic hole, so I told Sadiz that I was dabbling in acupuncture to relieve my body¡¯s fatigue after training.
However, for Sadiz, regardless of how much I studied acupuncture, she seemed to be hurt as a personal maid because of my illness.
To be honest, it¡¯s heartbreaking to have made Sadiz worry, but I was happy to see her pampering mode for the first time in a long time.
However, I was not able to fully enjoy the bliss.
¡°Tsu, Ugh¡±
¡°Little man... Your arms and legs seem to be aching... will this also require acupuncture?¡±
¡°W-Well, that¡¯s how it is... Urgh¡±
¡°Little man!¡±
It¡¯s not just the fever and a headache. Severe pain keeps running all over my body.
Only the points that were pierced with acupuncture had abnormally high heat and felt as painful as a cut from a sharp de.
Every time I was in shock due to pain, I lost consciousness.
¡ºChild, cast ¡¾Vier¡¿ as you lose consciousness.¡»
In my fading consciousness, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s voice echoed...
¡¸Tis training in a dream, child.¡¹
¡¸Nooo!? Damnit, I fainted! ¡¹
And if I lose consciousness, Tre¡¯ainar is waiting in my dreams with arms folded and a full-faced smile.
¡¸However, tis pathetic to pass out. We only hit two magic holes.¡¹
¡¸I-I¡¯ve lost face...¡¹
¡¸But tis only on the first day that you fall ill so far. From now on, only the pain will apany the opening process. That is how the body is rebuilt.¡¹
¡¸It¡¯s just pain...¡¹
¡¸Even so, I was the right to have you learn ¡¾Vier¡¿. Even if you are immobile and bedridden, I can train you.¡¹
¡¸If I¡¯m awake... to Sadiz.¡¹
It¡¯s hell when I sleep. Even if I wake up, hell and only a little healing.
If I could choose from either, I¡¯d pick being awake, but...
¡¸Do not grieve. Anyway, I want you to learn ¡¾Great Demon Super Evolution ? Breakthrough¡¿ as soon as possible. Once this is achieved, we will spend what remains of these two months ondder training and sparring.¡¹
When ites to Tre¡¯ainar, any time I go to sleep he¡¯ll be there, smiling at the fact that we get to to train to his heart¡¯s content. It was a little frightening to me, but this is also for the promise of the boobs in two months!
¡¸Well, at any rate, your body is now being modified. If you keep doing this, you will never lose to those of your age if you only have one chance to release magic. But...... tis not enough win. Do you know why?¡¹
A one-shot destructive magical power obtained in exchange for severe pain and hellish suffering.
But, of course, the reason why it¡¯s not enough to win...
¡¸Ah. Even if I can open my magic holes and release a lot of magic... My magic capacity itself is small, so if I unleash a strong spell, that¡¯ll be the end of it.¡¹
¡¸That is right. And, as I said when you were awake, the magic capacity in the body is a kind of talent. This will not increase immediately. Then what do we do? ¡¹
You can win if you just hit each other¡¯s magic once.
But it can¡¯t be done in a fight.
What if the magic misses? Even more so, the game is a tournament.
Once your capacity reaches zero, you won¡¯t be able to fight anymore.
And then......
¡¸So... Instead of ¡®releasing¡¯ the magic of the body, it¡¯s about ¡®keeping it around¡¯ of the body.¡¹
¡¸......? ¡¹
¡¸Like this!¡¹
The next moment, a red light covered Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s body.
That¡¯s the technique I was shown in my first dream.
¡¸I fasten the magic around the body. Tis a technique that uses everything only to increase physical abilities.¡¹
¡¸Around me... Fasten?¡¹
¡¸Strengthening the body, improving self-healing power... In your case, the previous figures...¡¹
¡¸In this case, if you use a powerful spell...¡¹
¡¸It will be as such.¡¹
¡¸Well, that¡¯s great.¡¹
Yes, once you hit it, it¡¯s over. That¡¯s why it¡¯s a one-shot game.
¡¸But if you fasten it in the body instead of releasing it... You can reduce the risk of losing magic in an instant.¡¹
¡¸...... Is that right?¡¹
¡¸That¡¯s right. Breakthroughs always drain magical power. However, as long as you do not use great techniques like spiral breaks, you can maintain a much better power over ordinary people for a reasonable amount of time. For example...¡¹
¡¸To be precise, tis a little different, but you can think of it as reducing your magic power by 1 per second.¡¹
¡¸Ah... I see.¡¹
¡¸However, in order to activate the Breakthrough once, you must have a certain amount of open magic holes in the whole body ... so you are now building that body.¡¹
A vague exnation. Of course, if you defend or attack in a Breakthrough state, your magic will decrease much faster.
So in Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s calction, you can fight in a Breakthrough state for up to 100 seconds.
¡¸For the time being, tis better to learn from here on with your body rather than reason. In that respect, the image training within ¡¾Vier¡¿ is very efficient. I can demonstrate it, and you can acquire more aptitude while fighting.¡¹
And from here on out, it¡¯s no longer logical.
The rest is single-mindedly......
¡¸Come on, child! Tis beneficial to learn by heart the numerous ways to die!¡¹
¡¸Hey, w-wait! Oh, Aaaaaaah!?¡¹
¡¸This can be acquired in training! There is no secondary effect such as fire or lightning, but no chanting is required. Tis a perfect technique for you who will be proficient at martial arts.¡¹
Dream sparring single-mindedly with the Great Demon King.
¡¸This is the ¡¾Great Demon Super Evolution ? Breakthrough¡¿ that was developed by me.¡¹
Or, dreams can¡¯t really kill, can they?
And............ for the time being, I died.
¡°Buhah! ...... Haa, ha... That?¡±
¡°Su~...... Su~...¡±
I woke up to my bed.
And beside the bed, Sadiz was sitting in a chair and fast asleep.
¡°Ah... woke up from the dream...¡±
¡ºAaah. We had plenty of training this instance. Forgoing the academy might have been for the best, after all.¡»
¡°.........¡±
The Great Demon King is there whether I¡¯m asleep or awake. Yeah, that¡¯s really what you¡¯d call a shared destiny.
¡°No... Li... tle ma...... Su~ su~...¡±
¡°Huh...¡±
Sleep talk from Sadiz. And it¡¯s about me. Something about this makes me happy.
¡°...... Hehe... Thank you. Sadiz¡±
¡ºWhy do you not show more gratitude towards my efforts?¡»
¡°.........¡±
¡ºHey, do not ignore me.¡»
When I look at Sadiz sleeping, I feel excited, but I also feel guilt.
I guess she¡¯s pretty tired.
I guess I was nursed all day long without regaining consciousness... So.... seeing Sadiz in front of me at the pillow, sitting in a chair, in a short skirt and very little guard at my feet, I didn¡¯t look.
¡°Y-Yeah...¡±
¡°...... Gee...¡±
¡°Ka-kun¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Whitece! Very fine! The milk is very rich and nutritious. Hello!
¡ºHey, what are you looking at, ignoring me?¡»
This is unavoidable. It¡¯s force majeure.
Right now I didn¡¯t look into it. Because I can¡¯t move out of bed, what I saw was an ident.
So, even if I look at it a little more...
¡°Lil¡¯, Earth...No.... don¡¯t....¡±
¡°Oh, oooooh! The legs are wide open!¡±
She started talking in her sleep a little while ago, her legs were gradually opening, and now I¡¯ve seen a piece of underwear.
Yes, that¡¯s not a big deal, so having a view of the garden shouldn¡¯t be a big deal.
¡°No, no, Little man...... No more...... ?I¡¯m going to tell you something?.¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
At that moment, I looked up at Sadiz¡¯s words, her legs gradually opening wider.
Then there...
¡°Nofofufufu- ?¡±
Sadiz, with a smile as sharp as a crescent moon in her mouth....
¡°Sadiz...¡±
¡°You must remember, Little man. The sleeping girl that calls the man¡¯s name usually only pretends to be asleep?.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a woman¡¯s strategy, isn¡¯t it? Sorry to destroy the dream of a virgin boy.¡±
I¡¯m done. Was she up from the beginning?
No, maybe she was sleeping, but she woke up about the same time as me.
¡°It¡¯s sad, though. The boy is also 15. In the world, there may be people of the same age that will have sexual experience soon, such as dating and their first. Yet, you have a rough nose simply from the maid¡¯s panties, Fufufufu ~, such a small person ~, Little man~¡±
¡°Urgh, Guh...¡±
Sadiz attacks me with a nasty grinning smile.
Damn, Hazy.
When I was down, she was so nice.
¡°It¡¯s fine... Little man¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°If that¡¯s all there is to it... The knockers are the prize, but... If it¡¯s about panties to heal your fatigue, it¡¯s still...¡±
Heh!? What!? What? Now, From Sadiz¡¯s spiteful face, to that of ady with a little shyness? What? What is healing panties!?
¡°Sadiz...¡±
¡°This time, the fact that Little man fell is the disgrace of a lifetime as a maid¡±
¡°No, no, no! It¡¯s acupuncture treatment or training muscle pain...¡±
¡°So, I beg your pardon! If my panties heal Little man even a little...¡±
Sadiz isn¡¯t bad at all, but is she hurt? I¡¯m sorry.
What are you talking about, you¡¯re not bad for anything. But, if I want it, will you show me? More, can I see more of Sadiz¡¯s panties!?
¡°...... Hey, are you sure?¡±
¡°If Little man says he wants it, ¡®speak out¡¯... I will obey.¡±
I can¡¯t do it. Give such an order.
That¡¯s kind of like a sensual novel in which a rich scum ys with a maid, and it¡¯s a crazy, exciting... But I need healing, and probably Sadiz wants to show them too. Surely, it¡¯s a contest of panties.
Yes, that¡¯s why I can¡¯t help it, so I¡¯m going to see it!
¡°Sadiz. Show me Sadiz¡¯s panties!¡±
¡°Hey, I¡¯m home now! What¡¯s Earth¡¯s condition?¡±
¡°Earth, I¡¯m here! Just wait, your mom will heal you soon. Hea...¡±
At that moment, the door of my room was briskly thrown open, and there were my father and mother whose expressions changed to a blood rage.
¡°...... Sa... Sadiz...¡±
¡°Nofufu¨C , Little man. Are you still hot? You have to be aware of the signs that your parents have returned.¡±
¡°...... th-they shouldn¡¯t be home. ¡°
¡°Ooh? Without your parents, you would have given such an order. That¡¯s the kind of guy you are Little man- ?.¡±
Yeah, I was beaten...... From the face of the sexy woman until a while ago, to that devilish smile again!
¡ºMy oh my...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar is an admirer as well, and...
¡°¡±This Stupid Soooooooon!!!! ¡°¡±
Father and mother. I was beat up by two heroes.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your help.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Reviews and evaluations are also very motivating, and it has be a body.
When I saw it today, it was 26000.
For the time being, I will do my best aiming at 30000.
Well, it was pointed out from various people in the previous impression,
There were a lot of topics ¡¯drop Magic Hole¡¯, and I thought, ¡°After all.¡±
There is also a ¡°magic hole¡± in the proposal, in fact, there is a time when I also thought for the first time.
But there¡¯s a reason why I didn¡¯t choose it.
Of course, most of you may have noticed that the Chinese characters ¡°hole¡± and ¡°milk¡± are very simr.
What if there is a person who misunderstands ¡°Magic Hole¡± and reads ¡°Magic Milk¡± in this?
Since the reward of the earth is sole, I will read without difort?
As a result of worrying about the danger, I chose ¡°Magic Hole¡±.
When the hole is attached, you know, there is also a hole digging, i thought it would be good.
As a result, the previous story breaks the magic hole in the forbidden master¡¯s pupil......?? The forbidden master and the devil¡¯s......??
This story will continue to be a healthy story.
It¡¯s very hot, but please take care of yourself and your mind and body.
[Chapter 26 – A Conversation between Two People]
Chapter 26 ¨C A Conversation between Two People
Tranted by: Sads07
Two of the seven heroes who saved the world.
Father and mother, who is also a hero of mankind, were sitting side by side with the maid, Sadiz.
¡°I¡¯m sorry about this, Sadiz. I¡¯ll give this idiot a good talking to.¡±
¡°To think he¡¯s such a fool... If he was trying to do this without our knowledge... I¡¯m sorry, Sadiz.¡±
Sadiz is not just a maid to my father and mother.
She¡¯s like a sister, like a daughter, and she¡¯s family to all of us.
My order to show me panties towards such a family member was so bitter to both of them, and after beating me senseless, I single-mindedly apologized to Sadiz.
¡°Nfufufufu ~ It¡¯s fine ~ Master and Madam. Little man is at that age, being interested in a female body wearing panties isn¡¯t weird ~¡±
On the other hand, Sadiz did not seem hurt at all, and had her grinning smile.
No matter how you look at it, Sadiz is teasing me, you can tell by looking at that face...
¡°Good grief, Earth. Will you reflect on this?¡±
Saying that, my father poked at my forehead again.
And......
¡°That¡¯s right, for goodness sake. I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re hiding smut, though you¡¯ll soon be an adult, just so you know I¡¯ll be asking Sadiz about things!¡±
Saying that, pulling my ear, no matter how you look at it, is a teenager. Or rather, she looks about the same age as Sadiz.
A woman who looks more like a girl, ties her long redhead to the left and right, is dressed in a white party dress, and has sharp, dazzling eyes.
However, her age is actually thr-
¡°Uraaaah, are you listening?¡±
¡°Gagh!?¡±
What¡¯s more, she has poor-
¡°Here¡¯s another shot, for some reason!¡±
¡°Gohg!?¡± [1]
As one of the seven heroes, she helped defeat the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºHmm... she is as loud as ever. Mamu... Even this loathsome person evokes nostalgia.¡»
Yes, my mother, Mamu Lagaan.
¡°Tch, I thought both Father and mother were at work...¡±
¡°We heard you were lying unconscious and suffering, so we came during our break!¡±
¡°However, as we came back, trying to get Sadiz to show you panties, what were you thinking!¡±
I was hit by two people one shot at a time.
Damn, I wasn¡¯t even aware of their presence, so I was focused on Sadiz¡¯s panties ...
¡°Ah, I did wrong, sorry. Anyway, I¡¯m all better now. So you can both go to work n-¡°
¡°What the hell are you saying? Let me get this, we get back to work, so you can do what exactly?¡±
¡°Sadiz, are you sure you¡¯re okay? I haven¡¯t been home at all recently, but he isn¡¯t doing anything indecent, is he?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been asked about boobs... Oops, this was a secret, ?.¡±
¡°¡±Ah¡ª¡ª-heh!!¡±¡±
And again, I was beat up. Damn, hey! We had a deal... [2]
¡°?¡±
I red at Sadiz as I thought so, but she was putting on tepid a face.
However......
¡°Then, since it¡¯s been so long why don¡¯t Master and Madam have dinner before they return? Together with Lil¡¯ Earth.¡±
Wh... W-Wha?
¡°Ah...Yeah, that¡¯s also true. I¡¯m hungry, too.¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯ve got a little time before the evening meeting. That¡¯s true.¡±
At that time, I was speechless again.
And when I look at Sadiz¡¯s face again, she had a smile that says, ¡®Please do your best¡¯.
¡°All right, it¡¯s been awhile since I¡¯ve had Sadiz¡¯s homemade cooking!¡±
¡°Hey, Sadiz. I¡¯ll help you, let¡¯s make it together for the first time in a while?¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯d be d.¡±
No, nothing is wrong with having a meal with my family.
Or, it is a matter of course.
However, it is a rare case for my house.
Both my father and mother were busy, and there was almost no chance to eat together.
I didn¡¯t feel lonely, I was used to it, and it was quite natural.
Therefore, when ites to having a meal with the whole family on the contrary, I felt a little bit on guard.
¡°Hiro! Earth! Wait in the living room.¡±
¡°Well then, Little man, I¡¯ll be here?.¡±
What¡¯s more, my mother went to the kitchen with Sadiz, and as a result, father and I waited alone.
It¡¯s kind of awkward, it felt weird.
¡°Well, it¡¯s a lot of fun to eat together, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Uh... I forget.¡±
¡°I see...¡±
It¡¯s really awkward.
¡°¡±.................. Um...... ¡°¡±
¡°Wh-What?¡±
¡°Yes father...¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re saying...¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s nothing.
¡°¡±............ ¡°¡±
¡ºAre you two just meeting each other?¡» [3]
Tre¡¯ainar ys the straight man at our awkward state. [4]
He seemed amused for a moment.
¡°How¡¯s the Academy?¡±
¡°Well...... not bad...¡±
¡°T-That so...¡±
¡°Oh...¡±
¡°Oh, which reminds me, Fu and Rebal are back. Seems they¡¯ve gotten stronger.¡±
¡°Oh... It looks like that.¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to attend the next game, both your mother and I. Show me your hard work.¡±
Hard work...... Seriously, my training pushes me between life or death. I doubt that¡¯s the kind of thing you¡¯d think about.
¡°C-Come to think of it, you¡¯re going to do something about a girlfriend soon, right?¡±
¡°...... Hah? What? All of a sudden.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s about time, I wonder if...¡±
¡°I-I¡¯m not...¡±
¡°Is that right? You were doing something strange to Sadiz.... How about the princess? Did you do something rude?¡±
¡°Of course not. Well, the princess doesn¡¯t even like me, does she?¡±
¡°...... Wha? What are you talking about? The princess... doesn¡¯t like you?¡±
¡°If you see it, you¡¯ll get it.¡±
¡°...... No, you... Well, that¡¯s what you feel....this, happens a lot...¡±
¡°?¡±
Nnh, so hazy. Why do I have to discuss my love life with my father?
Oh, well, that¡¯s not it.
Now that I¡¯m talking with my father like this, there are a lot of questions I¡¯ve been thinking of.
¡°...... Hey, dad...¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Father... Why did you be a warrior... Did you want to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿?¡±
What I really wanted to hear was... not this. Probably.
No, I haven¡¯t been able to sort out what I want to ask my father in the first ce.
However, Tre¡¯ainar said I should have some interest in my father. But to inquire about my father, I didn¡¯t know what to ask, and I was listening to his rambling.
¡°Why... Oh, you¡¯re about to submit your [Volunteer Warrior¡¯s Notice].¡±
¡°Well...... at first...¡±
¡°What? You¡¯re probably wondering if you¡¯re going to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿, right?¡±
¡°...... rather than being lost, I¡¯m not sure why I should be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿.¡±
I¡¯m worried about going to the ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿.
When I began to talk about it, his father began to panic.
After all, it seemed for certain that I would join the ¡¾Imperial Knights¡¿ even to my father.
¡°Um, certainly with your grades you¡¯re entitled to it... It was really hard but your dad became an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿.
¡°I¡¯ve heard that it was easier in the past, but even so it was difficult for my father...¡±
¡°Ugh...¡±
Yes, my father was an inferior student. My overall ranking is second in the grade, so I¡¯m much better than he was.
But there is no one who says I¡¯m above my father.
But I had not been conscious of that.
¡°Why did you want to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿?¡±
Why did my father, who was an inferior student, want to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿, worked hard and was able to defeat the Great Demon King.
Why was that?
¡°...... Your dad... Let¡¯s see...... There were times when I wanted to protect my friends and those I cared about, but... In the end, I fought for the sake of humanity and the world. But...... originally...¡±
There was what he wanted to protect.
After he came to be called a hero, he began to fight for mankind and the world from the bottom of his heart.
But that wasn¡¯t the case from the beginning.
¡°I... I wanted to be on the side of justice.¡±
That¡¯s the first time I¡¯m hearing this from my father.
¡°When I was a kid, my father and mother were still living in a rural vige... I was saved from a monster attack by an ally of justice.¡±
I knew only the ¡®achievement¡¯ of my father as a hero. I heard that...
¡°I also... I wanted to be someone who can be there to help in that way. It all started there.¡±
The beginning of the father. That is, the origin.
¡°That person... Was it an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿?¡±
¡°Well... He helped us, and left without leaving a name as it is. However, to the person it seems natural to help. I thought it was cool. I admired that.¡±
My father talks to me with eyes shining like a kid somewhere in a shy way.
¡°I¡¯m simple. When we were to be on the side of justice in our time, we felt like an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿. So I wanted to be an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿ and be on the side of justice... or so I thought.¡± [5]
And now he has fulfilled that dream and he is still saving and protecting many people.
¡°...... I see.¡±
I listened to my father seriously for the first time, and I thought he was dazzling.
That¡¯s why I¡¯m more worried.
I don¡¯t have that feeling.
So what do I want to do?
[S1] Okay! She¡¯s psychic. Confirmed!!
[S2] With how often he gets beat up by heroes, Earth might actually end up being a Demon King!!
[S3] The original statement here, ÙF˜”¤é¡¢¤ªÒŠºÏ¤¤¤«??, Tre¡¯ainar is asking whether they were on a Matchmaking date, cause they¡¯re so awkward it seems like their first time meeting each other.
[S4] The phrase used here is Tsukkomi. It¡¯s from a traditional style double actedy where there¡¯s a boke (funny man) who provides the material (gags, misunderstandings, pstick) and tsukkomi (straight man) who butts in and reacts with logic and verbal takedowns towards the boke¡¯s antics.
[S5] I¡¯ve always thought this series had a resemnce with Boruto. This kinda confirms it. Earth and Hiro even have simr character dynamics with Boruto and Naruto.
[Chapter 27 – My Will]
Chapter 27 ¨C My Will
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°I didn¡¯t know you failed at bing an Imperial Knight... I couldn¡¯t see you, but I never expected that possibility.... I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Not actually...¡±
I heard the origin of my father for the first time. It is amon dream of a child in this world.
He wasn¡¯t a heroic child, a chosen one, with the genes or destiny to defeat the Great Demon King from the moment he was born.
It started with a childish dream, and from there to the end of the story which was beyond me, is my father as he is now.
¡°But... ah, listening to you like this... Even if you don¡¯t be an Imperial Knight... If you have something else you want to do, I think it¡¯s fine. I wanted to do it, it was my will.¡±
¡°Father...¡±
¡°But I¡¯ll still... your mother too... we¡¯ll support you.¡±
Even if I don¡¯t be an Imperial Knight, I¡¯m a child of my father and mother. I guess that¡¯s what it is.
Somehow I felt myself getting hotter, in such a cringe atmosphere, as my dad seems embarrassed while he talked.
Really, my stupid dad...
¡°And by the way, what kind of warrior do you want to be?¡±
¡°......¡±
But, he doesn¡¯t doubt that I¡¯ll be a warrior?
Nheless, what I want to do now, I¡¯m not sure what I want to be.
My immediate goal is the uing match.
I¡¯m not thinking about the rest.
On the contrary, whether or not I be a ¡°warrior¡± in the first ce......
¡°...... Is it all right? I wonder if they can talk to each other properly. Do your best ~ Earth ~ Hiro ~¡±
¡°Madam... If you¡¯re worried, why don¡¯t you go chat with them.¡±
¡°Because! It¡¯s a father and son talk, right? It¡¯s a difficult period, to watch over as a mother...¡±
¡°...... Madam...... Sure, Little man seems to have changed a lot recently.¡±
...... I can hear something. When I nced at her, my mother and Sadiz were watching me and my father in the shadows.
¡°Isn¡¯t that right? I mean, the other day you mentioned he had secretly hidden some smutty books from me in his room.¡±
¡°Two more books were added recently.¡±
¡°Really!? Hey, what kind of books...? Hey, what¡¯s it like?¡±
¡°...... Madam, your eyes are sparkling.¡±
¡°When I found out he was hiding an ero-book, I felt the bliss of a mother realizing her son¡¯s growth!¡±
¡°...... When you were on your adventure with the Master, you hated lewd matters. You would hit the Master for saying things like ¡®Ero-erotic Great Demon¡¯.¡±
...... Speak a little more quietly, we¡¯re right here!
¡°Ah... Earth...... Well, you¡¯re old enough to be interested in that!¡±
What¡¯s with the thumb! I want to break it!
Stop! Such a warm gaze like ¡®Father understands your feelings¡¯ I¡¯m a bit more embarrassed than angry!
¡°Shut up! Argh, what¡¯s this olddy saying! And Sadiz reports every single thing!¡±
¡°Hnn? Koraaaa, who¡¯s an olddy! I¡¯m~ forever 17!¡±
¡°That hurts!¡±
¡°Aaaah?¡±
The moment I spontaneously snapped, my mother had me in a headlock.
¡°Basically, you¡¯ve been sexually harassing Sadiz, and you¡¯re reading sex books too! Go on a date with a girl once in a while!¡±
¡°Hey, it¡¯s none of your business...¡±
¡°Really, this cheeky~!¡±
You really are restless, Mother.
As the person herself says, it only looks like a woman of her age, including her appearance, is making a gag.
In fact, her age is thr-
¡°Yes, you. Miss Phianse... What about the princess? Are you getting along? Hnn hnn~¡±
¡°Wow, just wow... can you, well damn. I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m always looked down on, I¡¯m being preached to, and I¡¯m fed up. Also she is, well she¡¯s, just so-so...¡±
¡°Wow...¡±
¡°...... What¡¯s with that face?¡±
¡°You know~ You¡¯re so close to a princess~. As a man~, don¡¯t you want to make a princess your girl?¡±
Damn, eternal annoyance... I really wish my parents would spare me this love story.
¡°Well... In any case, Rebal confessed to the princess the other day. If he wins the uing match, he could be considered a fianc¨¦e candidate.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Hoho!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Oh, this time all three of them leaned back at the same time, with all their eyes shining.
These guys, they¡¯re too involved in their children¡¯s love affair!?
¡°Huh, that so, was Rebal like that...¡±
¡°Uha~ Young Rebal will do it too.¡±
¡°Hoho. So, how did the princess respond?¡±
How did the princess respond? I think back on that question,e to think of it, she didn¡¯t even give a reply after all... At the time...
¡°Ah. She left it unsettled.¡±
¡°Undecided? Why? Miss Phianse doesn¡¯t do that, does she?¡±
Certainly, the princess usually has the impression of making quick decisions, but that time was different.
Because I intervened without reading the mood.
When I think about it, I might have done wrong by Rebal... however, he¡¯s always looking down on me and I¡¯m sick of it.
¡°I dered to Rebal...... I¡¯m the one who¡¯ll win the championship.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh!!?¡±¡±¡±
¡°So, because of what I said...¡±
¡°¡±¡±And that¡¯s the man!!¡±¡±¡±
This time, all three of them leaned forward in their excitement, raised their voices, and hugged me.
¡°That¡¯s it, Earth! It¡¯s important for a man not to retreat!¡±
¡°As a Mother, I realized your growth more strongly with those words than with sex books.¡±
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth, I¡¯ve been hoping for a victory before, but it seems you¡¯re serious. I¡¯ll definitelye to cheer for you that day.¡±
So stifling...... Yet...... Somehow, I felt like I had been building a wall until now... but, unexpectedly, when I talked about it, it was so easy.... the wall...?
No...... Wrong.
¡°If that¡¯s how you feel, your dad will be happy. Win or lose, it doesn¡¯t matter. Do it to your heart¡¯s content.¡±
¡°Yes. You will do your best to win. Mothers are happy just to be there.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll stand by you, Little man. I¡¯ll support the challenge you face to the end.¡±
Why not?
My father, my mother, and Sadiz seemed to be satisfied with my words.
No good. Is it because I¡¯m so cynical about it?
I felt that the three of them were satisfied just because I worked hard, and don¡¯t expect me to win the championship.
I¡¯m not just working hard. I really want to win.
There¡¯s also Sadiz¡¯s reward, but that¡¯s not all.
I want to show everyone my strength and surprise them. That¡¯s why I¡¯m working so hard.
But in the first ce, all three...
¡°But Rebal and Fu seem really strong. You¡¯re prepared for that, right?¡±
What¡¯s that?
I know. They are stronger.
Are you trying to say, ¡®Don¡¯t be disappointed even if there is too much difference in ability¡¯?
¡°Yes. So don¡¯t overdo it. No matter what the oue is, both your father and mother are watching you, aiming to win the championship.¡±
What¡¯s that?
Again, that smile says ¡®satisfied with words alone¡¯.
¡°Then, let¡¯s have a big feast on the day of the game. On that day, I¡¯ll make all your favorites.¡±
What¡¯s that?
You¡¯re going to have a pity party for me who can¡¯t win the championship anyway?
¡°...... I¡¯m...¡±
No good. Neither my father nor my mother, not even Sadiz said a word of that.
No, I¡¯m not even thinking about it in the first ce.
Maybe I¡¯m just twisting it around, and simply imagining it.
But...... Even so......
¡°I¡¯m sorry... Father...... Mom, Sadiz...¡±
¡°¡±¡±?? ¡°¡±¡±
¡°Rather, I¡¯m still a bit weary. To be honest, I don¡¯t have an appetite. It¡¯s been a long day, so can I take a rest today?¡±
This wasn¡¯t a lie. Honestly, I¡¯m not fully healed yet.
However, it doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t eat the meal.
¡°Are you sure? I see...Well, don¡¯t overdo it, okay?¡±
¡°Be careful, won¡¯t you? We can stay for a while, but... are you okay?¡±
¡°Little man. Sure. Then, I¡¯ll prepare soup in case you get hungry.¡±
When I said that, all three of them looked sorry, but they didn¡¯t try to force me to sit at the table with them, and they cared about my condition.
¡ºAre you alright?¡»
Before answering Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s question, I left the living room and quickly went back to my room.
Unable to control my restless urge, I immediately closed the door to the room and said to Tre¡¯ainar.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar... I have a request....¡¹
¡ºWhat?¡»
It was not for the sake of Sadiz¡¯s reward, nor was it sessfully inspired by Tre¡¯ainar.
This is my will.
So I bowed for the first time.
¡¸I...I couldn¡¯t win, but I did my best...I don¡¯t want any constion! I want to win! I want to show them, those who don¡¯t believe I can win! ¡¹
¡ºHo...¡»
¡¸Please... I want to train me more ... No ... I need to train! I want to be strong! I won¡¯t discard it no matter what kind of effort. So, please! Osu! ¡¹
I don¡¯t want a reward, I don¡¯t want to be scuttled, I don¡¯t want to be praised.
I want to win. I don¡¯t want to lose. This is my will.
¡ºHmm... child. Have you no notion of who your teacher is? Of the one who took you on as his disciple? Do you believe I would be content with merely having my disciples win a fighting championship?¡»
¡¸Heh!? ¡¹
¡ºBut... Hmmm..., tis good to hear those words from you without the need to hang a carrot. Together, we shall extract the spirits of the heroes and those simpletons! ¡»
¡¸O, Osu!!¡¹
I¡¯m hungry.
I have no good reason to fight the princess or Rebal.
It¡¯s all about my own.
It¡¯s just my feelings.
But I still don¡¯t want to lose! I¡¯ll win!
¡ºAll right, then rest and we shall start tomorrow...is what I would like to say, but we will begin the day after tomorrow. Take a day off tomorrow.¡»
¡¸Os-... Eh? ¡¹
So, starting tomorrow, more than ever... I was fired up, but the unexpected words uttered by Tre¡¯ainar betrayed me.
What? From tomorrow, isn¡¯t it?
¡ºYou are now under the influence of the magic remodeling and the fatigue that ensues. Physically and mentally. Overwork is counterproductive. Taking time to rest is good for training.¡»
¡¸No, no, but...¡¹
¡ºI understand your impatience. The feeling of ¡®your will¡¯ is sufficiently transmitted. Tis why you can rest your body and mind, that you may be fully prepared to train. Is that good? ¡»
Tre¡¯ainar is really saying, ¡®It¡¯s not just reckless training¡¯, I get it.
I see. Is it also training to rest the body?
I¡¯m pretty tired withdders, sparring and ¡¾Vier¡¿. It¡¯s counterproductive to do more training in this situation.
As I thought, how amazing, this guy.
You¡¯re looking out for me a lot.
¡ºA-And that is why... child. Tomorrow you will rest....¡»
¡¸Hmm? ¡¹
And, it was at that time.
¡ºS-Speaking of which, is it not about time? You know, as aforementioned.... Umm, just that...... not? Tis not arrived....¡»
Things like, Tre¡¯ainar looking away while crossing his arms, and ncing at me, seeming restless.
What¡¯s going on all of a sudden? About time? Arrived?
Oh~....
¡¸...... you, can¡¯t read the novel since you¡¯re dead... the one you asked for at the bookstore, the arrival day...¡¹
¡ºOh, oooh, tis so. Tis so! Mmmm! ¡»
Hey...... This guy... certainly not?! I¡¯m taking a day off, just so he can read....
¡ºWhat, why that look?¡»
Is that a bulls-eye?! Seriously, this guy! ...... No......It¡¯s fine.
¡¸True, that¡¯s right. Well then...... tomorrow let¡¯s be carefree and read.¡¹
¡ºHeh!?¡»
It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m really indebted to him.... If this much is enough for a thank you,...
¡ºKokukoku! ¡»
But I¡¯m happy. Somehow, the tension I felt suddenly loosened up, and in a good way, I felt a little better.
[Chapter 28 – Reading Day]
Chapter 28 ¨C Reading Day
Tranted by: Sads07
Tre¡¯ainar has been fidgety all morning long.
¡ºHey, child. Why the dy? The state of your hair is of no concern to anyone. Cease this imprudent observance of yourself, child. Depart at once.¡»
¡°Aah ...Oh, okay, I¡¯m done. Geez...¡±
¡º...... Hey, make haste already.¡»
A day off on an academy holiday.
Trained diligently in the morning...... not without motive, we¡¯re going out to the city today.
¡°Oh, Little man. What happened? Are you all right now?¡±
¡°Eh? Oh, well. To town for a bit today.¡±
¡°...... Is it a date?¡±
¡°Wrong.¡±
¡°Oh my, do stay single as long as possible. Yoyoyo¡±
As I was going out, Sadiz made fun of me, but I left the mansion to buy something... or rather, I went to the city to receive it.
Because of the holidays, themercial district is crowded with people all morning, and people my age were wearing in clothes and ying and shopping with friends today.
Some of them look like they¡¯re on a date. Just die.
Passing through these people, my goal is the biggest bookstore in the Capital.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Young Earth.¡±
¡°Hello...¡± [1]
When I arrived at the bookstore, the manager noticed me as he was arranging the lineup of books in front of the store.
¡°Thank you for the patronage this morning. All the books you ordered have arrived. They were mostly old titles, but everything is fine. But was it okay not to deliver them? There¡¯s a fair amount, right?¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s fine. And. I want to see it as soon as possible.... No, I wanted to see it sooner.¡±
Yes, today I came to pick up the books that I had previously ordered.
¡°Well then, please wait here. I¡¯ll bring it now.¡±
The managerughed and walked into the store.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar who had been grinning for a long time became even more restless.
¡ºOh, finally the sequels to the Destiny series... Also, Dragon Circle, Thousand Piece, and to even resume the epic of Jaeger x Jaeger! During my time, the author went on a hiatus without writing a continuation.¡» [2]
Whatever, Tre¡¯ainar, usually full of dignity, is already running around me like a kid.
¡°Young Earth. I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting. I also prepared a small cart to make it easy to carry around.¡±
¡°Ah. Thank you, Sir!¡±
¡ºAtaaaaasstt!!!!¡»
If anyone other than me could see Tre¡¯ainar, they would never believe he was the so called ¡®Great Demon King¡¯.
¡ºHey, child! Go to the park right there forthwith! I shall read it before returning to the mansion!¡»
¡°Okay, okay damn.¡±
¡ºHa~, what to do! What to do? What do we do? Where do we begin!?¡»
¡°Hahaha. I wonder if it¡¯s okay. The Demon King¡¯s Eyes Shine on Human Culture.¡±
¡ºHmm, as I have said, there are no barriers to culture. Rejecting conventions based on their racial discrepancy is a human trait. Or rather, I refuse to indulge in inelegant matters.¡»
¡°I see. Okay.¡±
He looked so happy, Ha~.
Then again, maybe it¡¯s not unreasonable.
He¡¯s been trapped alone behind that seal for over 15 years and couldn¡¯t even talk to anyone.
There would have been no entertainment at all.
I¡¯ve shown him a little bit of the city, but it¡¯s all within the range of my actions.
Even so, he saw to my various training routines without fail.
If this would make him so happy, then, I¡¯m d I bought it.
¡°Is it that interesting? This book¡±
A spacious Imperial Capital Central Park.
Children ying withrge yground equipment.
A pic with families spreading their lunch boxes on thewn.
A man and a woman of the same age as me on the bench and she¡¯s giving him ap pillow.
¡ºChild, you should read these as well. The Destiny series is as yet too intricate for children, but would you not find Thousand Piece interesting? Tis the story of a man going on an adventure with hisrades to be the King of the Bandits.¡»
¡°No, wait. The Great Demon King was reading the story of the Bandit King?¡±
¡ºSurely I have said so. There is no racial barrier when ites to culture.¡»
¡°Great...tch, too intricate for me? Everyone takes me lightly, don¡¯t they? Academically I¡¯m better than my father.¡±
¡ºHo. In that case, go with the Destiny series!¡»
As I was close to bursting intoughter, I crossed the park¡¯s spaciouswn, sat down in the shade of a tree in the corner, in an area where there was no distractions or loud voices, and picked up a book.
¡°What do you want to do? Do you read from the first series? Or do you resume from the continuation you haven¡¯t seen?¡±
¡ºHmm... the middle... No, may as well! From the start! Read from the beginning! I wish to relive the old days after so long an absence! Or rather, read and then express your impressionster child!¡» [3]
Then I lean on the tree and take one of the books and open it.
Tre¡¯ainar looks in from over my shoulder, his eyes shimmering.
In a park with a lot of families and couples, I read with the Great Demon King in the shade of a tree?
Regrettably... this, isn¡¯t it really too lovey-dovey?
Huh, reading a book with the Great Demon King, is this a first in history?
¡ºHey, child. Move to the next page!¡»
¡°Well, I¡¯m still reading! It¡¯s my first time, and I¡¯m not used to reading such books in the first ce, so don¡¯t rush!¡±
Tre¡¯ainar isn¡¯t bothered about the surreal situation we¡¯re in, seems he¡¯s really immersed in the book.
If I don¡¯t finish reading the page, I can¡¯t move on to the next one, so I have no choice but to go on reading.
¡°Hmm...¡±
Right from the start, I was attracted to the story¡¯s setting.
It contains some difficult terms, but it can be read normally.
The main character is ¨C
¡ºHey, child... still?¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºThen, next page...¡»
Some dubious words from Tre¡¯ainar with a slightly grumpy face over my shoulder.
What? No, I¡¯m still on the page, I¡¯ve only read a few opening lines?
¡°Hey, wait a minute. It¡¯s my first time, so don¡¯t rush like that.¡±
¡ºNo, I am aware! But is your reading not it a tad slow? I have already read the first page silently without missing a word five times over!¡»
¡°Eh!? So fast!?¡±
How fast does this guy want to read? I mean, normally it¡¯s too fast!
Well, he has read this book before, so it¡¯s natural to be able to read it smoothly.
Ha, I finally finished reading the first page.
¡°Now, next.¡±
¡ºHmm................................................ Hey, are you on the next page yet?¡»
¡°How in the world!?¡±
I just turned the page a few seconds ago!?
¡°How fast can you read?¡±
I couldn¡¯t stand Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s pace, so I raised my voice.
But Tre¡¯ainar also approached my face with an ogre-like expression.
¡ºYou are slow to read!! Your pace is sluggish! By the time you finish reading one page, I must have read the same page time and again! Tis frustrating!¡»
¡°Nna!?¡±
¡ºWith so much time spent on a single page... surely it shall require the whole of today to finish reading everything!¡»
¡°Eh!? No way, all this, today!?¡±
I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d beining about the speed of silent reading when I came here.
I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d read all dozens of books today.
No, not possible.
Just reading one novel, my eyes and head get tired, but you can read it even faster...
¡ºGood grief. With our sparring sessions, and also the effects ofdder training, your movement, intuition, prediction, reaction speed and so on are improving... but in the first ce, you must also exercise your ¡®eye power¡¯.¡»
¡°No, besides, this rapid reading speed of the Great Demon King is due to those ridiculous Rikudo magic eyes.... Hey, if I¡¯m too slow to finish reading, why don¡¯t I just flip to the end without reading it anymore?¡±
¡ºDo not be a durd! Tis a book you bought and paid for. If I read without you reading it, tis as if I am leaning on your charity!¡»
¡°No, this is also a thank you...¡±
¡ºAnd if you trace the source of the funds, it would be pocket money from the wages that Hiro and Mamu earned by working! Do you mean for me to thank Hiro and Mamu for their charity!? To the end, tis simply a situation in which I merely peek at the book you are reading! ¡»
¡°Hah, such a bothersome rejection, you!¡±
¡ºIn any case, we shall train your eyes! At this rate, we can neither discuss the plot in our spare time, nor can we predict future developments together.... Also it will be useful in battle!¡» [4]
Huh? Just now, you¡¯ve said something like discussing the plot? That¡¯s not what you said!?
¡ºTis a break from training today, but it would be better if I could rx...¡»
¡°Eh!? Is that your motivation!?¡±
¡ºHmm. I shall train your ¡®Dynamic vision¡¯ and ¡®Peripheral vision¡¯!¡»
However, misleading the matter like that, Tre¡¯ainar forcibly took the conversation in the direction of the training.
¡ºMagical Speed Reading Training!¡» [5]
He also suggested a strange training.
Wha-, speed reading training, it can¡¯t be useful in battle!
And in the end...... it was useful in battle.
[S1] The word used here, ¤É¤â(dohmo), is very versatile with lots of meanings. But here it simply works as a greeting.
[S2] [Dragon Circle?] [Thousand Piece??] [Jaeger x Jaeger???] They¡¯ve got [Shonen Jump] Novels in this universe!!!
[S3] But what is the beginning? [It¡¯s still being a] rgued to this day!!!
[S4] They could start a Shounen Review YouTube channel! Great Demon Reviews with Child!
[S5] Here we go again with the shit naming!!!
[Chapter 29 – Optic Gymnastics]
Chapter 29 ¨C Optic Gymnastics
Tranted by: Sads07
This park right now...
¡°Say Aah~, Darling, Please~¡±
¡°Aaaah, Hmm.¡±
¡°Is it delicious?¡±
¡°Ish sho good!¡±
Even though there are people on a carefree date like this, what am I doing in the park?
¡°But to train your eyes... Is it something that can be trained?¡±
¡ºMy goodness... it cannot be helped, I shall teach you a little bit about the eye.¡»
Once I stopped reading, I sat facing the Great Demon King in the shade of a tree.
And then, like Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s ss, the exnation began.
¡ºFirst of all, it is possible to train the eyes. To begin with, both humans and demons have muscles around their eyes. You can use the muscles to move your eyes up, down, left, and right. This is called ¡®eye movement¡¯. In other words, if you train the muscles around your eye, your eyeballs will move faster and better perceive moving objects, which improves your dynamic vision.¡»
Dynamic visual acuity. I only had a vague image that a person with eyes that had good vision and quick reactions would be said to possess [excellent dynamic vision]. Is that what it meant?
And, to perceive moving objects.
¡ºImproving dynamic vision makes it easier to perceive an opponent¡¯s movements and attacks. Under such circumstances, if you add breakthroughs to improve your physical abilities, reactions and agility trained indder training, will anyone be able to catch you anymore? An exaggeration perhaps, yet...¡»
I see. Eye movement... I had never thought of that before.
¡ºAnd one more thing to train is the ¡®peripheral vision¡¯. Out of the center your viewpoint. Perceive the entire scene from a broader perspective, not just the center. For example, look at a couple enjoying their lover¡¯s lunch on that bench.¡»
¡°Ah. I hope you end up miserable.¡±
¡º...... That aside, you only have the two lovers in your sight at the moment, right?¡»
¡°Wha? After all, you just now, had me to look at them ...¡±
¡ºThen, what is the color of the bench they are sitting on? How many people are behind those two benches? How many children are ying with yground equipment? How many men and women are there? Do you know how many trees are growing?¡»
¡°No, no, not that far...¡±
¡ºHowever... supposing as an example, instead of that couple, I were to say ¡®Remember all the scenery in sight¡¯, would you have noticed more of the surroundings?¡»
¡°Ah...¡±
That said, I thought so.
If I were told to burn the entire scenery that was in sight, I might have realized.
But when I was asked to look at that couple, I only saw that couple.
¡ºIn battle, tis important to pay attention not only to the opponent but also the environment, the scenery, and the picture as a whole. Just because you fight a swordsman does not mean you only consider the sword your opponent wields, right? You examine their face, gaze, foot position, and various other things as well, right?¡»
¡°Sure...¡±
¡ºThe more information you get from your sight, the greater your visual field and reaction duringbat. In addition, training of dynamic vision and peripheral vision leads to brain activation and concentration improvement, and it leads to a more improvisational response to the situation based on the information obtained from the vision.¡»
That¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar says. He exercises his eyes.
Dynamic visual acuity and peripheral vision. I had never trained such a thing.
¡ºAs you cannot use breakthroughs yet...... to focus your magic on one part of your body.... techniques such as concentrating the magic only on the eye cannot be done yet. As such, we shall train your eyes in earnest until you can properly implement the breakthrough.¡»
At first, I thought, ¡®Why did Ie to the park?¡¯, but listening to the story made me want to learn by all means.
As Tre¡¯ainar says, if you train your eyes, it will be easier to foresee your opponent¡¯s attack.
That¡¯s something I have to learn from now on because I¡¯m going to fight with martial arts.
¡°All right. I wanted to train my eyes, too. So...What shall I do now?¡±
¡ºHmm. First of all, begin with ¡®eye stretching¡¯.¡»
¡°...... Stretch?¡±
When he said ¡®stretching¡¯, I thought of the flexibility I¡¯m doing all the time..
Do it with my eyes.
¡ºWhen people are trying to get small letters or detailed information, they focus their eyes on one point. The muscle of the eyes then hardens. First, we shall loosen it.¡»
¡°Huh...¡±
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar faced me with his eyes wide open.
¡ºFirst, wink one eye!¡»
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡ºTen times or so, but at a constant rhythm. Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.¡»
Since I was little Sadiz often tease me or y a prank, but in the end she would wink at me and say, ¡®Fufu?¡¯, and ¡®Oh, I got you¡¯.
Why did I remember that now?
¡ºWell, after ten repetitions, do the same with the opposite eye, wink, wink , wink , wink , wink , wink , wink.¡»
Come to think of it, the legendary Magic Eye of the Great Demon King, Rikudo Eye.
My father once fought against this eye.
Eyes that have created all kinds of tragedy for my father, for the heroes, and for mankind.
¡ºNext, close both eyes at the same time and open them. It closes tightly and opens wide. Do this ten times as well. Yes, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.¡»
No, no, no, I¡¯ve got to bear it. Tre¡¯ainar is serious about training me, and this is the way he teaches me ...
¡ºAnd next, round and round with my eyes this way-¡»
¡°...... O-Osu.¡±
¡ºThis time, going round and round the other way.¡»
Come to think of it, what am I doing in the park on my holiday? In a park with kids who are dating, enjoying pics with their families, and ying innocently, they literally turn their eyes together with the Great Demon King.
¡ºGoing round and round and round¡»
¡°Bufufufufu!?¡±
Indeed, the Great Demon King winks, blinks, and turns his eyes! Like that...
¡ºWhat are youughing at?¡»
¡°Well of course I wouldugh!¡±
This is how it turned out.
No, I know. It¡¯s my bad.
Tre¡¯ainar is serious, so I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t take it seriously, but I¡¯ll stillugh!
Hah, even if you said I¡¯ll die if Iugh, I¡¯ll stillugh.
¡ºGood grief... Anyway, tis important to loosen the muscles of the eye. Perform these exercises as regrly as you do thedder training. If you do... This may also possible! ¡»
¡°Wha-What!? T-The left and right eyes are moving apart!?¡±
¡ºHmm, tis a technique to eliminate blind spots by looking over all directions by freely moving the left and right, this is the secret technique of ancient martial arts ¨C¡»
¡°Wow~, so weird!?¡±
¡ºGah... Child!¡»
¡°...... I¡¯m sorry....¡±
I unintentionally opened my mouth.
No, I really regret it.
¡ºWell, good. You will perform these stretches in the future.¡»
¡°Osu...¡±
Tch, I have more and more things to do every day... but. Well, I think this is also apulsory subject, so I have to do it seriously.
¡ºNow, anyway, once the eye muscles have been loosened like this, your dynamic vision and peripheral vision by speed reading.¡»
¡°Osu... I mean, I¡¯m really speed reading. I thought it would be better to train with sparring or something like that.¡±
Speed reading. I¡¯ve never cared that much except when I read a question on a test.
I understand the dynamic vision and peripheral vision, but I wonder if such a thing improves by speed reading?
Will it be stronger by being able to read faster?
However, Tre¡¯ainar affirms without any hesitation.
¡ºDo not underestimate speed reading? First of all, because you only see ¡®speed reading¡¯ as ¡®reading fast¡¯, tis the only way to go, and if you want to apply the power you gained there elsewhere, the path will expand as much as possible.¡»
¡°Oh, is that so?¡±
¡ºAs you are now, can you get stronger by reading faster? The idea is a typical example of ¡®taking things at the center and not more broadly¡¯. In addition, speed reading is not just to read. By not only reading but also understanding the content, you can develop your overall grasping and understanding skills. and by further increasing the speed you improve your concentration and judgment.¡»
¡°I see...¡±
¡ºFor example, reading a book. I read one character at a time, but if I increase the number of characters to see more at once instead of just one? What if I speed up reading rows? It can improve the function of the eye, leading to the ability to move viewpoint and see a wider field of view.¡»
¡°Ma, yes, but...¡±
¡ºWhat happens if after speeding up you canprehend what has been read? What happens when you remember? The memory of the brain, and the instruction from the brain to the body is faster.¡»
¡°Certainly... ¡°
¡ºIn other words, you have trained your reaction speed with a magicaldder. It starts with themand from the brain, which improves the nerve, muscle transmission response speed. Then, if the brain¡¯s understanding and judgment, and even the instructions be faster...... what will happen?¡»
That being said, I finally ¡®understood¡¯.
That everything is connected.
¡°The faster you make decisions about how to move next, the faster your reflexes will be.¡±
¡ºThat is so. That is why if you train your eyes, no one can catch you anymore.¡»
The theoretical exnation was convincing.
Until now, information from the eyes and ears was processed with the head, from which the brain gavemands to the body, passed through the nerves, transmitted to the muscles, and moved the body.
I improve that ability withdder training.
In other words, this time, the ability to process the information entered from the eye with the brain is also trained.
If it is indeed desired, it will be useful enough in battle.
¡ºWell, tis speed reading for that, but... As I said earlier, there are many ways to train speed reading even in situations where breakthroughs are not yet avable. There is a trick that improves this even more quickly and dramatically.¡»
A trick. I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the kind of word I¡¯d get from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth.
The words of the Great Demon King seemed to me heavy.
¡ºThat is ¡°Instant Memory Magic, ¡¾Canonicon¡¿.¡»
It was a magic that I had never heard of.
Well, I can somehow imagine ¡®Instant Memory¡¯ from the name, but....
¡ºThe basis of speed reading is not to read sentences with the eye, but to capture the text reflected in the eye as shapes and pictures. There is an ancient magic that can be learned which engraves what is in sight into the memory of the brain. That¡¯s the magic of ¡¾Canonicon¡¿. Do it while using this magic.¡»
Is it such a system after all? He said it was instant memory.
¡ºTo use this spell means to recall everything that moves into sight. Therefore, if you continue to use it, the view of things naturally will be ingrained in your body, so that you can perceive ¡®the whole rather than just one point¡¯ even without the use of magic.¡»
¡°Eee~, naturally... Instant Memory... it sure sounds convenient to memorize.¡±
¡ºTis not memorization. Everything in the field of vision is stored in the brain as a picture. So long as you remember this spell ... Even if the maid were to find your erotica and dispose of it, if the contents are already engraved in the brain as a picture...¡»
¡°I don¡¯t know, but I¡¯ll learn it right now, that magic! I¡¯m sure I need it now!¡±
But recently, I¡¯ve learned magic that I use for training, not for actual fighting...
[Chapter 30 – Intermission (The Maid)]
Chapter 30 ¨C Intermission (The Maid)
Tranted by: Sads07
The worst day of my life, and at the same time the beginning of my new life goes back over ten years ago.
¡®I can¡¯t leave this girl ... at the institute. I¡¯ll take her in!!¡¯
The heroine, who was called the War Maiden, hugged me tight as she said so.
I was still a young, fresh-thinking child, and I was terrified when the Demon King¡¯s Army destroyed my vige, my parents were killed in front of me, and that I would soon be dead.
However, just as I was about to be killed, someone saved me at thest minute.
One of the seven heroes. Mamu, the War Maiden.
The one who saved me, hugged me and cried saying, ¡®Sorry, I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t make it¡¯.
She¡¯s not to me for anything. She¡¯s my lifesaver. Rather, I should thank you.
However, I couldn¡¯t ept the death of my parents, who I loved, and I just kept crying.
I was saved. But my family is no longer here. The moment I knew that, I felt I was alone in this world, and I trembled at my solitude.
At that time, she said, ¡®Let¡¯s stay together¡¯ without handing me over, where war orphans were originally left in the care of the Empire or some orphanage.
¡®I will be Sadiz¡¯s family. So let¡¯s stay together.¡¯
I shed tears then and jumped into her chest. I¡¯m not alone yet.
We were not rted by blood, but this entity that seemed like an elder sister or a mother, saved me.
She didn¡¯t let me go even after the war. She lived with me as if it was only natural to live together.
And......
¡®I won¡¯t get married until Sadiz is of age. If you can¡¯t wait until then, I can¡¯t marry Hiro. Marry someone else.¡¯
Everyone wanted to marry Mamu, the War Maiden, and Hiro, the Great Hero.
They were still two teenagers, a young couple, but with no one opposed to their marriage, everyone approved at the time, yet she gave priority to me who was still young.
It made me d, but I felt guilty, and I wanted her to be happy. I don¡¯t want you to put your happiness on hold for my sake anymore.
With that in mind, and I consulted with Sir Hiro, and as a result, it was decided that I would continue living with them as the adopted child of two married people.
I was reluctant to live with two newlyweds who didn¡¯t share blood, but she...
¡®Huh? Don¡¯t be silly! You¡¯re our family! You live with me! That is the decision! Otherwise, I¡¯ll drop the marriage!¡¯
I shed tears again.
That¡¯s where our lives began.
However, life with only three people ended unexpectedly early.
That is......
¡®Hey, Sadiz. You want to hold him? He¡¯s... our new family?¡¯
A new budding life.
Small, soft, delicate enough to break, but when you hold it up, it¡¯s heavy, warm, and...
¡®Uh, he cried when I he was in my arms, but when Sadiz held him, he stopped crying!¡¯
That life squeezed the fingers that I held out......
¡®Egu, Ee... Ni~¡¯
¡®Huh!? ¡®
The baby had a broad smile on its face and wasughing... I loved it unconditionally from the bottom of my heart.
I¡¯ll protect this child.
It¡¯s mine.
It¡¯s my family.
I¡¯m not going to give it to anyone.
As a young child, I felt it was my mission to continue to protect this child for the rest of my life, not to give back.
Ever since then, me and the baby were firmly attached.
¡®Hey~, Sadiz~, let me hold Earth too~.¡¯
¡®No. Master is clumsy. Sadiz is best for the little man.¡¯
¡®Uh-oh, just a bit, just a little, just a little bit~.¡¯
¡®No good. I¡¯ll not hand over Little man. Master will not be forgiven for making Little man cry.¡¯
It was more a monopoly rather than attachment.
¡®Gah, once you mess up with Sadiz, it¡¯s over. I¡¯m also concerned about Earth¡¯s future. Earth seems to love Sadiz, too.¡¯
¡®Little man~, nuzzle-nuzzle~¡¯
¡®Kya, Kyao¡¯
¡®See, Earth also loves Sadiz.¡¯
¡®Mufufu~?, Little man, it¡¯s my boob naughty. Yes, you are~.¡¯
¡®Kya¡¯
¡®Excuse me! You can¡¯t just leave yet!¡¯
I¡¯m happy every day that I get to raise and love my Little man.
And Little man, who was so thoughtful, was so cute, and grew up with a lot of vim and vigor...
¡®Thaddith, you know, you know, i¡¯ll be Thadis, Be Bride.¡¯
¡®Little man. If you say that, you¡¯ll be my honorable wife. But, that¡¯s how we¡¯ll do it then~.¡¯
¡®U~, na-na-, Sadith- is my bride~!¡¯
¡®Oh, you¡¯re a crybaby, aren¡¯t you~? I don¡¯t want anyone to be a crybaby¡¯s bride~¡¯
Little man also really loves me...
¡®Sadiz... you got into the academy...¡¯
¡®Yeah.¡¯
¡®Then... anymore, means you can¡¯t y..... not much..¡¯
Little man seems lonely and a bit sour... So cute!
And that day...
¡®Sadiz... Umm...... Congrattions on your graduation from the Academy...¡¯
¡®Well, Little man. Thank you very much. Nice bouquet...... I¡¯m so happy.¡¯
¡®Yeah...¡¯
¡®Oh, what¡¯s going on? Why so down... are you feeling well?¡¯
¡®...... Umm...... Sadiz graduated and became a warrior and became a grownup... Sadiz...... Are you leaving?¡¯
On the day of my Academy Graduation Ceremony, he gave me a bouquet of flowers bought with his pocket money. He was only 11 years old.
He had a lonely face as he asked about my circumstances.
Yes, until I¡¯m a full-fledged adult...... That¡¯s how I thought my path would go... However, when I looked into Little man¡¯s teary eyes, I made up my mind.
¡®No, I¡¯m not going anywhere, am I? I¡¯ll always be with Lil¡¯ Earth.¡¯
¡®Really! All right!¡¯
At that moment, I had a nosebleed... Well not, yes, anyway, instead of bing an ¡¾Imperial Knight¡¿, I became Little man¡¯s exclusive maid while retaining only the qualification.
Really, Little man back then...... so unfair!
And......
¡®Sadiz~, let¡¯s ... eh.¡¯
¡®Oh, just a minute, Little man. I¡¯m changing right now...¡¯
One day, he happened to see me changing clothes.
I¡¯m in my underwear and I¡¯m blushing... he¡¯s awkwardly looking as I flutter... That¡¯s right, the moment of sexual awakening for Little man! Drooling...
¡®Flickering... Ah.... Sadiz...... sorry.¡¯
¡®No. Rather, if you¡¯re apologizing, don¡¯t look at me, okay? This topic is still too early for Little man.¡¯
Little man. My cute boy.
Since then, I¡¯ve found that the Little man gradually became interested in ¡®things like that¡¯ and became a boy.
I¡¯m tactless.
I asionally think I¡¯m just a troublesome woman that I get sick of it at times.
I don¡¯t know how to respond to the cute, loving little boy¡¯s feelings towards me.
That¡¯s why, I y moderately mean tricks on him.
For example......
¡®Kya, pervy breeze-, my~ skirt~ will get turned up~ (Little man)¡¯
¡®Heh, Sadiz! ...... That?¡¯
¡®Ufu? Ufufufufufufu, aw~, that was dangerous. Under the skirt... If wore panties... instead of these shorts, you could have seen them. It was in full view.¡¯
¡®~~~~eh¡¯
¡®Ooh? Hey, hey, heeey~! What¡¯s wrong~ Little man~? Was that arousing? Hey, hey, hey. I must report this to the Madam. Naughty~ Little man~?¡¯¡¯
¡®Damnit, Sadiz you dummy!¡¯
A sullen face. A tearful face. No matter what your emotions, they will hit me with the true feelings of the boy.
Every time I feel it, I can¡¯t be there.
Oh, I¡¯m special to him.
I have to be here.
¡®Fufufu, sorry, Little man?.¡¯
I am a happy person.
Immediately after I realized, I certainly was unhappy.
I lost my beloved parents in front of me.
But I¡¯ve already forgotten that tragic past¡ª¨C
¡ª¡ª-[Continental Copse Magic] is it... The absurdity of the magical city to envision the fall of the demon world with such excessive force.
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡ª¡ª-The work you reside over can no longer be pardoned... As such, I shall destroy you myself.
Ah, what did I... I looked too far back into the past. I want to seal it deep in my memory. Until the past I want to erase...
The only worry is that, when you reminisce on your happy days, you may also bring back the trauma of the past, which is naturally bitter and painful.
¡ªGreat Demon Spiral. Devil Spiral¨C
Memories of my childhood.
Suddenly, a huge tornado-like swirl hit my hometown as the Demon Army invaded.
Most humans were engulfed in the swirl, their whole bodies were cut into pieces, and thousands of pieces of human flesh and blood rain fell across the country.
I remember.
Dad.
Mom.
The moment when they were hoisted and torn apart in the sky is still vivid!!
¡°I¡¯m home.¡±
¡°Heh!? Li... tle man? ¡¹
¡°Hmm? What¡¯s up, Sadiz. With a scary face...¡±
¡°Oh, no. It¡¯s nothing.¡±
What I did. I still have a long way to go. I didn¡¯t even realize that Little man was back.
And I was saved.
Just remembering that day darkens my mind and makes me feel overwhelming fear.
The doctor said that it was post-traumatic stress disorder, but I haven¡¯t yet been able to ovee it after more than a decade.
¡°Even so, Little man... you bought a lot of books.... Even if it¡¯s a camouge to mislead an ero-book...¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mess around¡±
¡°Oh my, really....hm?¡±
¡°...... What is it?¡±
At that time, I felt something strange in Little man¡¯s eyes when he came back, like ¡®He has sharp eyes¡¯ or ¡®his eyes are tired or twitchy¡¯.
He may havee back from reading a novel somewhere, but it¡¯s obvious that his eyes are clearly tired from reading a book?
What the heck...
¡°Li... Oh!?¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
It was then. A sudden wind blew without any forerunner.
It had the exquisite force to sweep up the dust and fallen leaves that were being cleaned, and to fly my scarf which had loosened its knot but is not harmful to the human body, and to roll up the skirt.
Girl¡¯s called this wind, the so-called pervy breeze.
That¡¯s exactly the time.
Don¡¯t! I¡¯m also washing my clothes, so today I¡¯m only wearing cheap, childish kitty panties...
¡°Yah!¡±
Inside out, the content of my skirt that has turned up is out in the open.
There is no way that Little man could not immediately see them.
However, as I thought that Little man would be looking at my kitty panties, or such a thing, he jumped and caught my scarf that was about to be blown away by the wind.
¡°Hehe, good catch. Here, Sadiz.¡±
¡°eh, ah, umm, th-thank you very much...¡±
And, Little man hands the scarf to me with a proud face.
I was puzzled by that figure.
Idiot... Even if they were childish cheap panties, did Little man not notice?
In the past, he would have ¡®ignored anything else around me¡¯ and ¡®only had eyes for my panties¡¯.
Why then?
¡°Well, I... I¡¯ll be reading a book in my room before dinner.¡±
¡°Y-yes. I understand.¡±
Saying so, Little man returned to his room.
On that back, for a moment I felt a Gentleman.
Since he started dering victory in the [Graduation Commemorative Match], has something changed with Little man?
¡°The results of Magical Speed Reading... It was brief, but it¡¯s scary. I also got a sudden photo opportunity.... The amount of dust and leaves scattered.... also putting the scarf that flew into perspective.... Permanently stored in the brain! The navel, the legs, ...those, and a slightly embarrassed face all at once.... I can use this for the rest of my life.¡±
Even so, recently, Little man has been talking to himself a bit more often.
[Chapter 31 – Prediction]
Chapter 31 ¨C Prediction
Tranted by: Sads07
Speed ??reading changed my perspective on things.
More than ever, I became more conscious of ¡®seeing with my eyes¡¯, and the results my efforts were tangible.
¡¸I see...¡¹
A giant orc appears in the world of ¡¾Vier¡¿, swinging its huge arms at me.
If you eat this raw, you¡¯ll definitely get sick.
But......
¡¸Everything seems to stop.¡¹
I¡¯ve been sparring with Tre¡¯ainar.
Agility acquired.
Furthermore, the magic technique that dramatically raises physical ability......
¡¸Of course. Small fry are no match, dispatch the rabble, and parade yourself!¡¹
I dive into the bosom of the giant orc and m my fist into its liver.
The orc reacts in agony as it goes down.
The next is a skeleton warrior, and then a great serpent. In addition, Gremlins.
Even though it was a dream, it was my first time fighting monsters, but I¡¯ve already sparred with the Great Demon King many times, and I¡¯m not afraid of anything.
¡¸Well, all that has been generated is equal to lower-rank human level warriors. As your skills were intermediate level even before my guidance, you ought not to find them a challenge.¡¹
Certainly there is no struggle.
After all, just as Tre¡¯ainar said, if I only spar with superior partners, I¡¯d be unable to realize the image of defeating my opponent.
In this way, by fighting an opponent without struggle, you have more flexibility during the battle, more options at every moment, and the leeway to experiment and attempt fighting styles you haven¡¯t tried before.
¡¸Huh. Pay attention to your footwork, from no guard... tilt the upper body with [Great Demon Swayback]...... then with [Great Demon Parrying] strike and throw off the opponent¡¯s fist...... I believe this improves your defense.¡¹
As usual, the naming is shit, but I don¡¯t care anymore.
Right now, I¡¯m probably improving enough to absorb a lot of things.
¡¸Well, next, I bait the opponent¡¯s attack and at thest minute.... here!¡¹
Jump into the opponent¡¯s linear attack and drive your fist to cross it.
¡¸...... [Great Demon Cross Counter]...... tis quite sharp I suppose.¡¹
This is a dream. However, the feeling left in the fist, the feeling of shell being broken is real.
Simply, I felt that I was getting stronger.
¡¸All right, tis still rough, but the [Great Demon Fighting Art] is gradually improving.¡¹
¡¸I see. ...... Phew...... But my eyes are tired....¡¹
Apliment from Tre¡¯ainar.
He is not one to tter or say anything entric.
He speaks only the truth.
That¡¯s why, because he praised me, I had ¡®such a feeling¡¯, I was genuinely happy.
However, the sensation of the eyes bing tired even in the dream is mysterious.
¡¸But the results are apparent. Thebination of Speed Reading and ¡¾Canonicon¡¿ allows the six muscles that control the functions of the eye.... the superior rectus muscle, the inferior rectus, the external rectus, the internal rectus, the superior oblique, and the inferior oblique, to be trained...... this sparring after improving dynamic vision, peripheral vision, and brain processing.¡¹
¡¸Oh... ¡®Magical Shutter Eye¡¯...... I didn¡¯t think it would be so tiring.¡¹
Yes, I trained my eyes with speed reading, and even with sparring, I did eye-conscious training.
That is sparring while using ¡¾Canonicon¡¿ continuously.
¡¸Precisely. ¡¾Canonicon¡¿stores the viewpoint into the brain as a picture after observing it once. However, the scenery before you is seen in the paused state for that moment alone. Therefore, if you use ¡¾Canonicon¡¿ duringbat, even if the scenery seems paused, it actually is moving, so at the next moment you will be aware the world after a split second.¡¹
¡¸At first, I didn¡¯t understand the exnation very well, but... in the middle of battle, the moment the opponent¡¯s punch is about to be released, I close my eyes with a blink and shut off all visual information, and the next moment I open my eyes, it feels like the fist already in front of me. It makes it difficult to catch movement...¡¹
Sparring opponent is not Tre¡¯ainar, but lower-level monsters.
Against them, I can blink and cut off visual information over and over again.
¡¸So dynamic vision and reaction speed that may act immediately after the shutter opens. In addition, from the picture of the moment you turn off the shutter, the opponent¡¯s movement, line of sight, position, state of the entire body in the peripheral field of view, and the world in the next split second can be predicted and appropriate action taken.... Reading Power...... Not only simple reflexes, but also dynamic vision, peripheral vision, and the power of prediction. That is crucial.¡¹
Inbat, taking your eyes off your opponent or letting your guard down for a moment can lead to defeat.
That¡¯s why Magical Shutter Eye, the uses of this ¡¾Canonicon¡¿ continuously while sparring, is meant to train it.
As a result, even though the opponent is such a low-level monster, defeating it in this way is considerably tiring. But in this way, being able to defeat them without taking damage leads to confidence. Well, this is just a dream...
¡¸All right, you have been training in your sleep. After today¡¯s academy sessions, we shall perform ¡®Magical Shutter Eye Phantom Sparring¡¯ as well as ¡¾Vier¡¿ battle simtions.¡¹
¡¸Osu! ¡¹
¡¸Sparring in ¡¾Vier¡¿ in addition to monsters like now... Well, considering the situation... Hmm, to embody the sword, and do so by imitating the swordsman of the seven heroes of the past?¡¹
¡¸Osu! Wha...... you don¡¯t mean, to say it without hesitation, but that¡¯s Rebal¡¯s father!? What can I possibly do?!¡¹
¡¸Tis possible. Emting the skills and movements of the opponent after observing them once was among powers of the six-gate eye. Well, if you get ustomed to the Sword Saint¡¯s power from those days, your childhood friend, ¡®The Sword Saint¡¯s Sessor¡¯, will not prove much of an opponent.¡¹
¡¸Hey, really, to you... anything is an ant. As long as I can count on you...¡¹
¡¸Of course. However, that will be after school. Now tis time you return to reality, perform some stretches and light shadow spar before heading for the academy.¡¹
For a while, the effect after sparring with lower-level monsters felt very satisfying.
When I¡¯m here, I want to do more. I want to fight more. The desire to be stronger also grows.
But there is a limit to things.
There might be such a meaning, too. With Tre¡¯ainar, anything he does has purpose, nothing seems pointless.
I still have time, but now I guess it¡¯s all right.
¡¸Phew~... Even so, something like a style is emerging.¡¹
¡¸Atst, you havee to understand how to use your body, and even began to follow what you envision in your mind.¡¹
¡¸Ah. I now understand how to use my fist. Even though it¡¯s a reality in my imagination, it gives me confidence that I can defeat orcs with just my fists as a handicap.¡¹
After that, I woke up in the morning, stretched and shadowed lightly and went to the academy.
I was growing, and I was curious about something.
¡¸Speaking of, Tre¡¯ainar.¡¹
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡¸You¡¯ve been providing orcs and a lot of other things for me to beat up, but... as the Great Demon King, this is what human beings do, does it upset you?¡¹
It just fought the monsters embodied by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s imagination, but they were demons, those who once followed Tre¡¯ainar, so to speak.
I wondered if I should ask after beating them, but I was a little curious, so I asked him....
¡ºHmm... Not really.¡»
Oh! And Tre¡¯ainar replied.
¡ºAs a human, do you still not witness killing and confrontations amongst yourselves? Tis a simr matter to the uing game.¡»
¡¸Sure...¡¹
¡ºMuch less, tis more exhrating to beat up those you dislike, is it not? Same as that. After being bundled under the same category as ¡®Demons¡¯, once the lid is opened you will find tis finely diversified. That the entirety of demonic races are considered as one tribe is detestable.¡»
Even if formally, the previous ruler was quite pragmatic on the matter, rather unsentimental...
¡ºBut...¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡ºWell, I as well... if someone I cared for got hurt or killed, I doubt I would remain silent.¡»
But that¡¯s not all.
In this way, he¡¯s the kind of guy who¡¯s willing to keep up my discipline.
I guess in some parts we are not so different.
¡¸I see...¡¹
¡ºIn that sense, the demon world after my death... tis probably awless zone, but I am a little concerned.¡»
As Tre¡¯ainar was staring a little into the distance, I felt his heartrending feelings were conveyed at that instance...
I felt it, and I naturally...
¡¸Someday... would you like to go?¡¹
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡¸Not really. I¡¯ve been taught a little bit, and... maybe I¡¯d like to see it too... Including the demon world...... various ces.¡¹
A little bit, I felt like I wanted to do what I could, and I put it into words.
Tre¡¯ainar also rolled his eyes for a moment, butughed immediately.
¡ºFuhahahaha. I am very grateful to have you just to turn the pages of a book I could not read while alive, but is that not a considerable sense of a duty.¡»
¡¸Is that what you want to say?¡¹
¡ºBut once you be an Imperial Knight, do you believe you will be afforded that kind of freedom?¡»
As Tre¡¯ainar says, if you be an Imperial Knight, you will certainly be given a lot of duties in the capital and as a candidate for executive officers.
If you consider my father who usually can¡¯te home, you¡¯ll understand that.
So, but still, for me to see various ces.... That¡¯s what it¡¯s all about.
¡¸I already... It¡¯s okay. For me...... the Imperial Knights. After talking with the princesses, my father, and you, this is how I feel after all.¡¹
That¡¯s how I feel right now.
¡¸I don¡¯t want to be an imperial knight. Right now I¡¯m... I want to be a man who can go anywhere.¡¹
¡ºHo¡»
¡¸I haven¡¯t decided how to go about it yet, but... about my parents, about the empire, about the warriors... I want the power to go anywhere and not be swayed by such things anymore.¡¹
I¡¯ve been on a predetermined route, but it¡¯s always been frustrating.
But now, because I said it myself out loud, somehow I felt refreshed.
¡ºHo. The little boy, is in his own way.... showing a man¡¯s expression, is he not?¡»
¡¸Is that right?¡¹
¡ºAnd, for that I am grateful. For now, it would be my pleasure, to see the world as it stands today.¡»
¡¸Do our interests align?¡¹
¡ºHmm. Thus, you must get stronger. I will not have you perish the moment you embark on your journey.¡»
¡¸Yeah true. I ask that you please take care of me, Master.¡¹
Saying that, weughed at each other.

Chapter 32 – Intermission (The Princess)
Chapter 32 ¨C Intermission (The Princess)
Tranted by: Sads07
Phianse Depaltia, the Imperial Princess and a child of a hero, was dreaming.
As a child who was yet to enter the academy.
She was studying with a tutor in the royal pce.
However, Phianse at that time could not concentrate on her studies much.
¡°Princess... It¡¯s time to study. I don¡¯t want you staring out the window too much.¡±
¡°U-uh... it¡¯s because...¡±
The tutor reprimands Phianse for trying to peek outside from the desk.
However, Phianse pouts like a hag and shows no sign of remorse for her circumstance.
On the contrary, she is clearly distracted and only cared about the window.
And......
¡°Heey, Phianse!¡±
¡°Eh! They came!¡±
The moment she heard the voice, Phianse reacted immediately and stood up.
¡°Hey! Phianse! We¡¯re going to y hero, youe too!¡±
¡°OK! Comiiiing!¡±
Phianse opens the window with a smile like a blooming flower at the young voice heard from outside the window.
Then, there were three childhood friends on thewn in the garden of the royal pce which spread out outside.
¡°Yo! How long have you been cramming for,e on!¡±
¡°Hmm... I¡¯m not a child, I¡¯m a make-believe hero...¡±
¡°Rebal~, we¡¯re still children, right~?¡±
A boy with an unyielding fiendish smile.
A little cool boy.
The smallest boy of the three, with a girl-like face.
It was the trio that Phianse always yed with and a source of trouble for the tutor.
¡°...... Ha~a...... Again, Mr. Earth. The princess is studying at the moment, isn¡¯t she? Aren¡¯t you going to make your father mad as well?¡±
The tutor tried to give the boy at the lead a stern warning, but he had no fear, and young Earth replied to him.
¡°This is also a great study! Phianse is a member of our neo-heroes! This is a study to be a hero! Isn¡¯t that right?¡±
Arms folded, the tutor went ¡®ahem¡¯ with his head held up and chest out towards Earth, but Phianse using that chance, put her feet outside and jumped out the window even though she had a dress on.
¡°Yes! The Study of the hero is important, so I¡¯ll do it!¡±
¡°Ah, tch, princess!¡±
When Phianse jumped to the outside and reached out, Earth took her hand with a smile.
The children held hands tightly. Phianse smiled happily.
¡°Ah~, princess! Mr. Earth! You can y, after your studies are over! Today, I have to ask the princess to do the work properly!¡±
However, the tutor does not easily let go either.
He puts his foot on the window as if to follow Phianse.
And then......
¡°It came, the Great Demon King Katekyoshi! Neo Heroes, at ready! Protect our friends!¡±
¡°¡±Oh!¡±¡±
Boys and girls holding toy swords, long sticks and canes.
They don¡¯t take a step back from the tutor, who started to get a little serious, to protect Phianse.
¡°Heroes protect their friends no matter what! So, don¡¯t worry, Phianse. Whatever we do, we¡¯ll protect you from the Demon King!¡±
¡°Afu~u... un...... Protect meee...¡±
Earth puts Phianse on his back, leans over as if he was a shield, and sets himself up to face the tutor.
Phianse, leaning close, blushed, feeling Earth¡¯s small back and warmth.
¡°Who is this Great Demon King! Really, you as well! You can¡¯t be great heroes like your parents, if you just y make-believe, can you?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true! Fu is the best wizard in the world! Rebal is the best swordsman in the world! Phianse is the best spearmaster in the world! And I¡¯m going to be the strongest ultra hero in the world, better than my father!¡±
A child¡¯s dream. But at that time, she didn¡¯t doubt that they would really end up like that.
The reason is that there was a reliable leader pulling them.
¡°Hoo~oh, that¡¯s a reliable one~... Then, can the ultra heroes of the future defeat the Great Demon King Katekyoshi and this devil Sadiz?¡±
¡°Geh, S-Sadiz!? Why?!¡±
¡°Nofufufu~, I came to capture Little man who ys around and skips his homework~ ?¡°
However, leaders also have their weaknesses. There was a devil he couldn¡¯t beat.
¡°Lil¡¯ Earth. you have to do it properly, or I¡¯ll be mad too~!¡±
¡°Eh, tha, uh, uh... that kind of!?¡±
¡°Huh... I... uh-oh, drool...... ahem. Well, I¡¯m going home, Little man...¡±
¡°U-uh... I, I see... I¡¯m going home...¡±
In such a case, you should protect yourself, so Phianse prepares to face the devil to defend Earth.
¡°Earth has fallen! I¡¯ll defeat this devil myself!¡±
¡°Eh, Phianse!?¡±
¡°Come devil! I won¡¯t let my friend go!¡±
They stand shoulder to shoulder and sometimes keep their backs together.
Phianse liked their rtionship.
¡°Earth, Fu, Rebal, Neo Heroes to battle!¡±
She was sure from that time... from before then... it was natural for her to always be with the boy.
The future stayed the same for a long time.
Not once had Phianse even doubted that this future was a definite matter.
¡°...... Earth at that time...... he was innocent and mischievous...¡±
After waking up from a nostalgic and happy dream, Phianse rose out of bed feeling refreshed.
Nearly ten years have passed since then.
They no longer got together every day like they did when they were young, but she still believed that their bond has not changed.
¡°Come to think of it, we¡¯ve been doing it a little since then... Fu¡¯s talent, Rebal¡¯s physical ability.... Everyone is young, but gradually they begin to show a glimpse of talent... Me and Earth... we have something... I started to think so and I got impatient. Little by little, I had less time to y.¡±
But, on the other hand, Phianse knows that he is not as essible as he used to be.
She understood that it is inevitable in the process of growth, but it still felt a little lonely.
¡°Especially... Earth, the leader of our neo-heroes, too... Little by little... started to hold theplex with the name of The Great Hero, Hiro.... I made an effort to change the color of my eyes, but the expectations of the people around me were still heavy and I began to get frustrated.... I began to demean myself... Hmm, when we entered the academy, when he called me ¡®Princess¡¯, I almost cried?¡±
Phianse looked out at the garden as she walked up to the window she once jumped out of.
Until ten years ago, everyone was there with Earth at the top.
But no one had gathered there for years.
¡°...... But.... soon. Rebal and Fu are back. Earth has started to change a little recently, and he dered he will win the championship.... yes. It¡¯s okay. When we graduate, we¡¯ll all be real warriors. Be Imperial Knights and once again, the neo-heroes will align!¡±
The childhood friends were gradually bing estranged, but Phianse believed.
We will surely get together like we used to, and more respectable.
At that time, as real warriors, we will be able to continue to protect this empire and the peace of the world.
And......
¡°...... Even if... Rebal and Earth are going to fight over me....¡±
Phianse knew it was necessary to settle things beyond the friendship with her childhood friends.
¡°I¡¯m proud of Rebal¡¯s feelings, but... But I¡¯m sure Earth... The other day, I found out that Earth likes me too... Even more, I want to win the championship and confess to him... But I wonder if Earth won now...¡±
Phianse¡¯s heart had already been decided in a sense.
But, you can¡¯t take down an important childhood friend who ims that ¡®I want a chance¡¯.
And, annoyingly, Phianse believes that Earth¡¯s victory will be difficult.
She knows Earth¡¯s ability more than anyone in three years of the academy.
On the other hand, Rebal, who boasted simple fighting power, has be much stronger during his study abroad this year.
Phianse also felt that it would be difficult for him to win on his own.
But, if Rebal wins the championship...
¡°Haa... I¡¯m also a sinful woman... because I¡¯m making important childhood friends fight...¡±
Originally, she started training herself in preparation for the [Graduation Commemorative Match], but Phianse has not trained for a while because of the love affair between her childhood friends.
¡°...... And, I can¡¯t brood over this situation forever. Anyway, after the uing game... Oh, if you want Earth, you can stay for one night... yes, let¡¯s review his taste with this naughty book of Earth¡¯s I got from that devil maid...¡±
Unaware of the Earth¡¯s true intentions and the course he is starting to determine....
Finally, the day wille.
Author¡¯s Note

[Chapter 33 – Early Morning]
Chapter 33 ¨C Early Morning
Tranted by: Sads07
That night, for the first time since I learned ¡¾Vier¡¿, I went to bed without using the spell.
Until now, every night till the morning, I had been sparring and studying Forbidden spells in my dreams, but I rested on the day before the games without thinking about it.
From here on out, I followed Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s statement, that resting the mind is also a part of training.
However, the habits that I have acquired do not change so easily.
Even without using magic, if I repeatedly do image training in my head, I would soundly go to sleep as it is and it¡¯ll be morning.
¡º...... How do you fare? ¡»
I woke up, but I didn¡¯t feel like I stayed upte.
Rather, the body is light as the mind is so clear.
¡°...... I¡¯m good.¡±
When I got up, I stood in front of the mirror as is my habit after sleeping, and did some light shadow sparring before washing my face.
Thus, I can better understand my physical condition.
¡°...... a certain sharpness... all five senses are clear... also...¡±
Next, I calm myself and close my eyes. Revive that sensation.
The magic holes that I pried open while enduring severe pain almost everyday for several days.
Release magic from the magic holes of the entire body and keep it on the surface.
Stable, smooth.
¡°...... the sixth sense.¡±
¡ºOr so it appears. For the time being, the first gateway for the breakthrough affords plenty of flexibility.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded in reply and smiled.
¡ºTo bring the best condition at the time of battle... That is one of the trials in a sense, but it seems all is well.¡»
¡°Ah.¡±
¡ºWhat about the heart then?¡»
Five senses, sixth sense, all clear. Then, the mental side is next.
Today is the day to show off the results of all we¡¯ve done so far.
The day I change myself, from being considered insufficient whenpared to father so far.
Today is an event for the Imperial Capital, and also parents and emperors to witness.
For such an event, the day I continue to maintain my motivation with the goal of winning.
The pressure on me was...
¡°Now... I want to try it. I¡¯m not my father or mother.... I¡¯m showing myself... I¡¯ll knock everyone down and beat them all!¡±
¡ºHmm. Precisely, tis fine. You have a moderate sense of tension and the fortitude to face the challenge while enjoying it... This state of mind seems to be the best, as well.¡»
At this moment I think there is nothing more reassuring than Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s endorsement.
I can do it.
Because it makes me believe so even more.
¡ºWell then, depart for the venue immediately and calm yourself in moderation. Also, the bandages.¡»
¡°Osu¡±
¡ºTis properly rolled up, is it not? ¡®Magical Vantage¡¯!¡»
All I have to do is prepare this body and the bandages.
This bandage seems to y a role of protecting others by warping the fist with it, but it certainly makes it easier to hit with when it is attached.
Tre¡¯ainar called it ¡®Magical Vantage¡¯.
And every time I wind this up, I think, ¡®I fight with my fist¡¯.
¡°Little man... Good morning. But to wake up so early...¡±
¡°Hey, Sadiz. I had some preparations so I thought I better get to it.¡±
After changing clothes, putting the bandage in my pocket and leaving the room, I ran into Sadiz in the hallway.
It¡¯s unusual from Sadiz, who always wakes me up, and she seems a little surprised.
¡°...... Oh, were you so nervous you couldn¡¯t sleep? Well, it¡¯s true, if you can¡¯t win the championship, you won¡¯t get the knockers. Also the princesses, Rebal, and Fu seem like very strong opponents.¡±
But soon Sadiz is teasing me with her grin.
Yes, she thinks the only reason I¡¯m up so early in the morning is because I was nervous.
Certainly, if I had been as before, I might have thought that way or have been unmotivated, saying ¡®I¡¯m going to disappoint everyone¡¯.
But I am different now.
¡°Heh, that¡¯s right.¡±
I¡¯m up early because I was able to sleep deeply.
That¡¯s why I also gave Sadiz a smile.
¡°......Little man?¡±
¡± If I survive such a fierce battle and really win, I guess boobs might not be enough.¡±
¡°...... Huh?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll ask you to allow sexual harassment, as well as boobs, for a whole day... maybe I¡¯ll have you up the stakes.¡±
¡°Eh, Li-Little man!?¡±
Perhaps because my reaction was so unexpected, Sadiz opens her eyes looking puzzled.
However, she immediately tried to regain the advantage by manipting the situation so I show some dismay...
¡°... Oh, that¡¯s right. Even though he¡¯s already 15, he¡¯s still a lonely virgin with no girlfriend. Little man can¡¯t cross the line with a woman.¡±
Sadiz dares to provoke me with that fiendish smile.
But what will?
It seems I am quite rxed now.
¡°Well, if I get to cross that line with Sadiz, I¡¯ll win the championship for sure.¡±
¡°Li- wha!?¡±
¡°And Sadiz... won¡¯t you ept me?¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
That Sadiz could do it in such a magnificent way.
¡°Hmm. It seems his masculinity has be considerably strong...¡±
Today, I might as well have confidence in myself.
That¡¯s why I say it to Sadiz, who blushed a little and started to panic again.
¡°Well, please watch me. in a little while, I¡¯ll show a scene that Sadiz can be proud of.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
It¡¯s not just for Sadiz. Today, I¡¯ll show everything to the people who look at me.
¡°...... Ha, Li-Little man! Please wait! Don¡¯t forget your sword! Weren¡¯t you breaking the de in for the match?¡±
¡°...... Sword?¡±
¡°Ufufufu, apparently Lil¡¯ Earth seems to be nervous while also iming a great deal of strength. I¡¯m concerned about what I¡¯ll see today. You won¡¯t get tits if it¡¯s a pity party, but I¡¯llfort you.¡±
Oh, I forgot. I was still supposed to be a magic swordsman.
And while I had forgotten, Sadiz says, ¡®Have you seen it?¡¯ again and again.
Well, I can¡¯t help it, so I¡¯m not making excuses here and I¡¯ll just take the sword.
¡°Hehe, maybe so. But talking to Sadiz, rxed my nerves a little.¡±
¡°I-Is that so...¡±
¡°Ah. Sadiz...... I¡¯m thankful... Always always.¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
While saying so and making it look like a mistake, I receive the sword and leave.
And Sadiz, who looked bbergasted, returned to her room...
¡°Little man...¡±
She body dived onto the bed!
¡°Oooooooh, Little man, so cooooool!!!!¡±
I didn¡¯t know that, and I headed to the arena in the Imperial City, which is also the venue where the game will be held.
And this was the real beginning for me.
[Chapter 34 – Before the Storm]
Chapter 34 ¨C Before the Storm
Tranted by: Sads07
The main street of Imperial City was more crowded than usual.
There were shops lined up like in a festival, from early in the morning was overflowing with parents bringing along their children and adults taking a day off from work, and everyone was heading for the same ce.
An amphitheater usually used for entertainment that can amodate thousands of people.
Today¡¯s event is The Imperial Warrior Academy [Graduation Commemorative Match].
This tournament selects the best among the neers who have yet to be warriors.
The event is not a small one, but also a showcase of young people who will bear the future of Imperial City. It is a grand event with a long-standing tradition and style in which not only themoners but also nobles and the Imperial family including the Emperor watch.
Therefore, some patrons stop their carriages in front of the arena, and from the passenger cabin escort guards and the gorgeously dressed elite were seen. With more security than usual, some warriors wore armbands throughout the arena.
It¡¯s such an important event for the Empire, much less this year¡¯s match which is a little different from the usual.
¡°Hey, who do you think will win today?¡±
¡°If you go in order, it¡¯ll probably be the Princess or a Rebal.¡±
¡°I¡¯m here for Rebal~! He¡¯s too cool!
¡°Hmm, by far I¡¯m with Mr. Fu.¡±
¡°Fu is super first ss as a mage too, but what about the duels?¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t understand, do you? The matchups will be announced on the day, so if the Princess and Rebal face each other early...¡±
¡°Ah. Earth might be the dark horse here.¡± [1]
I can also hear my name in the conversation among the guests arriving at the arena.
It¡¯s only natural.
Today, four children of the Seven Heroes who defeated the Great Demon King and saved the human race and the world over ten years ago wille out.
They¡¯re all looking forward to seeing the next generation of heroes and the potential for the future.
¡ºHo. Seems quite the sess. Though tis a game between children.¡»
¡¸That¡¯s just what peace meanspared to your time.¡¹
¡ºI see. If so, as a matter of fact... tis quite the exciting situation that draws out one¡¯s spirit.¡»
¡¸Ah.¡¹
As I tried to run around the venue for a warm-up, Tre¡¯ainar mentioned that he was impressed as I saw where people were getting into the arena.
I¡¯m ready to fight myself.
I carefully performed shadow anddder training to get peak level performance.
¡¸Well, it¡¯s about time I got in too...¡¹
As many people gather at the main gate of the Arena, I go in through the back door used for officials and contestants.
In the square in front of the entrance going straight through a narrow corridor that leads directly into the arena, everyone else had gathered and was waiting.
¡°Moh? You¡¯re finally here, Earth!¡±
¡°Earth, good morning!¡±
When they saw me, the Princess and Fu ran up to me.
I¡¯m finally here.... I¡¯ve been around the venue for a long time, but...
¡°I was taking a little walk...¡±
¡°Easy Going guy. Do you really know what today is?¡±
¡°Is that right? Earth. I¡¯ll tell you... me...... fighting Earth, I won¡¯t go easy on you, got it?¡±
Won¡¯t go easy on me. Usually, when you say, ¡®I fight with all my strength¡¯, you¡¯re just trying to say that ¡®I¡¯m superior¡¯.
Maybe he¡¯s saying it unconsciously. In other words, Fu unconsciously believes he¡¯s much stronger than me.
Looking down on me.
¡°Same with me, right? To win, I won¡¯t lose the championship. To anyone... That¡¯s it.¡±
And the Princess also sees a man with a cool atmosphere, his eyes closed in the corner of the room, as if dering war.
¡°.................. ¡°
Rebal was there.
He¡¯s trying to unify his spirit with a cold air as if he was saying, ¡®Nobody speak to me¡¯.
And then, either he was done or he noticed my existence, he opened his eyes, nced my way and came up to me.
¡°Phianse...¡±
¡°Rebal...¡±
Two people facing each other. Rebal had confessed, but there is no sweet atmosphere present.
¡°I¡¯ll win.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t lose.¡±
They sh and show off their will to ¡®not lose¡¯ to each other.
But from my point of view, it doesn¡¯t seem like the mood matches.
Tch, are they going out already?
¡°Fu... How are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m in my best shape.¡±
¡°I see... When I think about it, I¡¯ve been studying abroad with you for a year, but this may be the first time I¡¯ve fought you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right...¡±
And, going with the flow, Rebal turns eyes to Fu.
Fu¡¯s childish face also changespletely, and he shows a manly smile as sparks fly between him and Rebal.
Well, this selection match is a tournament of 16 contenders, so there are others in sync besides us, it¡¯s just like they¡¯re saying, ¡®someone among us will win¡¯.
In fact, it feels like they¡¯re nervous yet they can¡¯t afford to be.
¡°...... Earth¡±
¡°An?¡±
And Rebal looked at mest...
¡°I¡¯m in this tournament... No matter who sees it, I¡¯ll show off the obvious difference in power and win the championship and prove my all.¡±
¡°............¡±
¡°To the Empire... To the people... To his majesty... To my father and the former heroes. And...... To the princess to whom I offer my sword.¡±
A deration of war on me.... Or rather, all I hear is ¡®I¡¯ll win the championship¡¯.
Two months ago, I would have said it back here, but since it was on appointed the day, I can¡¯t stand it with just words.
¡°...... hmmm...¡±
I retort with just that and turned my back.
Shut them out and suppress my emotions!
¡°Oh, hey, Earth! What¡¯s that attitude towards Rebal! If you¡¯re a man, say it back! That...... here, you too. I.... what?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like Earth, is it? Right?¡±
The princess and Fu agitate me, but I don¡¯t take any part of it.
¡°Hmm... two months ago, just saying that, is that your answer today? Earth. Well, it doesn¡¯t matter to me anymore, but... at least you¡¯ll try not to fall before you fight us.¡±
Perhaps he lost interest in me with that, Rebal looks at me with a slightly cold eye, but I won¡¯t say anything back.
¡ºKukukuku... Your patience wears thin, does it not?¡»
The only person who understands my feelings right now is Tre¡¯ainar, who has a grinning smile on his face.
¡¸Yes, I can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡¹
I didn¡¯t think I could endure so much yet not raise my clenched fist or say anything.
If I had talked with Rebal anymore, I would have said, ¡®Let¡¯s go! I want to end the fight right now¡¯.
I was looking forward to it, just like Rebal was doing everything today.
That¡¯s why I decided.
That¡¯s all I can bear.
¡ºHmm? Is something wrong, child? For some reason, your expression tells me you have a fiendish scheme in mind.¡»
¡¸Ah. I don¡¯t think I can put up with it anymore. So if I¡¯m doing this, I¡¯ll do it quickly.¡¹
¡ºHoho... Hmmm. I see. Your malicious intent is oozing out, is it not?¡»
¡¸Anyints?¡¹
¡ºNo, no, no, no, no, no, no. Tis intriguing.¡»
The tournaments will soon begin...... a lottery beforehand.
The tournament bracket is decided by drawing lots in front of the audience.
So, I thought I¡¯d give my response, everything I wanted to say here, in front of arge crowd anyway.
[S1] The term originally used here is ¡® [�O·ò¤ÎÀû] ¡¯ which literally means ¡®Benefit of a Fisherman¡¯. It¡¯s meant to describe a situation where 2 parties fighting over a prize upy each other when an unexpected 3rd party would swoop in and take it for themselves. Basically the speaker believes the only way for Earth to win is for thepetition to take each other out. I opted for Dark Horse instead since it gets the point across better for English speakers.
Chapter 35 – Declaration of War Response
Chapter 35 ¨C Deration of War Response
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Well, are you ready, young lions? I Lingaun, the Imperial Knight, shall be the judge today.¡±
As I was secretly thinking about my n, a warrior who would be the referee of the match finally appeared.
He is a big man with strong features, very famous as an Advanced Warrior who survived the past war.
¡°Today, you represent all the Academy students to show off to His Majesty and the people the birth of a new warrior. Don¡¯t fight just for yourselves. Put your heart out and look at the faces of every person gathered here today. Those are the people you are to protect in the future.¡±
Lingaun gathers us with powerful words.
With those words, others who were nervous had a change in their eyes that said, ¡®I¡¯ll do it¡¯.
And......
¡°Eh,dies and gentlemen! Thank you very much for attending the Imperial Warrior Academy [Graduation Commemorative Match]!!¡±
Atst, the host of the event started the ceremony.
As expected, I, the princess, Rebal, and Fu braced ourselves.
¡°With this, I would like tomence the match with 16 selected Academy students! Please watch to the end!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uooooooooooooooooooh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Thousands? No, ten thousand? The cheers so loud you feel such vigor like the roar of subterranean tremor.
¡°First, we will have a lottery by the selected students! Selected students, enter!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Woooooooooooooooooo!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Princess Phianseeeeee!!¡±
¡°Mr. Rival! Kyaah! Aah, He¡¯s cool~.¡±
¡°Fuey~, Fu, do your best!¡±
Following Lingaun, we also step into the Arena.
The spread was a spacious square surrounded by walls on all sides.
Every seat on the wall was filled.
Furthermore, at the guest seats ....
¡°Well, here they are. The Next Generation¡±
The Emperor watches over us with a gentle smile on his face. Next to him is the Empress, the princess¡¯s mother.
And beside them......
¡°Oh, Earth, looking good.¡±
¡°Ku~, I really wanted to loudly cheer for Earth with Sadiz in the audience~.¡±
Standing close to the emperor and empress as escorts, father and mother.
And......
¡°? Go Go Little man, Go! Lil¡¯ Earth! Go! ?¡°
¡°Little!?¡±
Looking at the audience seats, I was surprised.
There, Sadiz, wearing a short skirt with blue sleeveless top, waved a ball-like tool called ¡®Ponpon¡¯ in both hands, and cheered for me with legs and hands raised up.
Not good...... Erotic-cute... [1]
¡°Ah, Miss Sadiz~, same as ever.¡±
¡°Huh... As usual, overprotective of Earth...¡±
¡°Mmm, h-hey, Earth. Stop staring so hard at Sadiz¡¯s legs and skirt!¡±
The figure of Sadiz, who is also familiar to Fu and Rebal, made both of them blush slightly.
Only the princess is showing a disgusted expression, but...
¡°Now, 16 selected students gathered here will demonstrate their strength in front of you today. The duels allow use of weapons and magic ording to the rules. And from now on, each and every one of them will draw lots and decide on the matchups.¡±
With the host¡¯s words, Lingaun presents a square box to us.
¡°Now, pull the lottery one at a time and read the number aloud.¡±
A nk tournament table was prepared further above the audience seat on a giant billboard.
Are they going to read each person¡¯s number and write it over there?
We could have drawn lots beforehand, but it¡¯s more exciting to do it in front of everyone, so this is how it is.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll have you draw lots in order. First, Phianse Depaltia!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Starting with the princess. She put her hand in the box that Lingaun holds and takes out a round ball from inside.
There was a number No. 10 written on it.
¡°Phianse Depaltia, number 10! The first round of the fifth match.¡±
¡°Next! Gellipy Yuli!¡±
¡°Ah! ...... Yes! Number 15!¡±
ces on the tournament table get filled one after another.
¡°Next, Fu Meday!¡±
¡°Yes! ...... Oh, yes, yes! It¡¯s number 12.¡±
¡°Next!¡± Coman Paiper!¡±
¡°U, yes... Well, that... It¡¯s number 6.¡±
And thus, things progressed as it us.
¡°Next! Rebal Janyne!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±Kitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Mr. Rebal!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Rebal, the most likely champion and the leading hero candidate of the next generation!¡±
¡°He¡¯s not a rookie anymore!¡±
¡°There¡¯s already talk of the advanced warrior ss. No doubt, the strongest man of the generation!¡±
As expected, Rebal is very popr.
Having been away from the empire for a year, everyone is excited to quickly see his growth.
¡°Rebal... I see. Seems confident he¡¯ll run for Phianse¡¯s candidate.¡±
¡°Oh... good attitude.¡±
¡°Yes. Maybe he¡¯s not entirely at the academy level anymore.¡±
Of course, the emperor, father, and mother have an eye-opening impression.
And then Rebal draws a lottery...
¡°Yes... Number two.¡±
¡°Rebal Janyne, Number 2! It will be the first match of the first round!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±So sudden! Rebal Kitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Rebal drew the No.02 ball and got the first match.
Well, Rebal is the first match of the first round.
¡°Next, Earth Lagann!!¡±
Then I......
¡°Oh, the second generation of the Great Hero, Hiro hase!¡±
¡°He might be inferior to his father and mother, but he¡¯s also talented.¡±
¡°Ah. Will he be the dark horse this time?¡±
¡°Little man!¡±
My name is called, but far from cheers Rebal received.
No wonder. My talent and so on, has been known in the Imperial city for a long time! Right now they don¡¯t expect much from me.
Rather, it elevates the genius of the Princess, Rebal, and Fu.
But I......
¡°Hehe¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, h-hey!¡±
From now on, I¡¯ll change all of that evaluation.
With that determination, I will carry out what I had nned with Tre¡¯ainar in advance.
I take the box of the lottery box from the Lingaun, turn it over, and scatter the raffle balls on the ground.
¡°Heh!? Li-ttle ma!?¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Eh, Earth?¡±
¡°What are you doing, hey!?¡±
¡°He tossed the lottery!?¡±
As expected, my sudden actions startled everyone, including the audience.
But I don¡¯t care, I pick a number up from the raffles that fell to the ground.
That is......
¡°Uh... that was. Wo wo wo, Earth Lagann! ...... Number one! First round match, against Rebal!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I sent my deration of war to Rebal and to all of them.
¡°Th... That idiot...¡±
¡°...... th-the ball... I¡¯m getting lightheaded...¡±
¡°...... Little man...¡±
Everyone is out of their minds over what I¡¯ve done. Sadiz has her mouth wide open, so do my father and mother.
It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen these three people react like that, and I feel somewhat fresh.
And after a while of silence......
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±What is he doiiiiiiing!!!??? ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone shouted the same words all at once.
¡°Hey, he turned over the lottery and picked up the number!¡±
¡°Th-That¡¯s what it is!? That¡¯s not fair! As the son of a great hero, what is he thinking?¡±
¡°No, b-but... So, does that mean he chose Rebal as his opponent?¡±
¡°No way! That Rebal...¡±
¡°But is that a sudden confrontation between children of the heroes in the first round?¡±
¡°No, no, they can¡¯t allow this!¡±
Disapproval. Bewilderment. And, the reactions to the confrontation between the children of the heroes suddenly being set in the first match of the first round arise all at once.
Although I have no idea what¡¯s about to happen, but for now, I showed Rebal that this was my response.
¡°Heh... Earth...... you...¡±
¡°Hehe... This is my answer, Rebal.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m here to prove myself, too.¡±
Rebal seems quite surprised, but on the other hand, as the situation became clear he seemed fired up with zing passion.
¡°...... Okay! I ept your challenge!¡±
Rebal is motivated.
¡°Earth... Wh-What.... you shouldn¡¯t have...... ?¡±
¡°Wow, Earth... Wha-, princess?! You got heart eyes.... Eh, princess-like manner, that¡¯s the reason, isn¡¯t it?¡±
For some reason, the princess and Fu are making noise, but it doesn¡¯t matter now.
¡°Oooooooh, Rebal epted!¡±
¡°Then, suddenly from the first round!?¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯m seeing things in a new light, Earth!¡±
And the crowd also cheers in response to Rebal¡¯s eptance.
¡°Hey, y-you boys, you don¡¯t have permission! This is a lottery.... Yes, that is how....¡±
However, a vition of the rules is a vition of the rules.
Of course, Lingaun also tries to get us to start over. But......
¡°Rebal Janyne!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
At that moment, the Emperor who was in the guest seat stood up.
As the emperor began to speak, the audience who were still noisy calmed down all at once.
And as the air swells in an instant, the emperor asks Rebal with a stern expression.
¡°This is a clear vition of the rules. But you said, ¡®I ept¡¯. You don¡¯t mind that, do you?¡±
To the emperor¡¯s question, Rebal got on one knee and bows.
¡°Your Majesty. I will win this tournament. Meaning I won¡¯t lose no matter who is in it. Therefore, having matchups by lottery is meaningless! I will fight with anyone!¡±
A powerful deration. The emperor raises his hand and yells out ¡®if he says so¡¯.
¡°Then, the first match of the first round sees Earth Lagann and Rebal Janyne. These two will face each other!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uooooooooooh!!!!¡±¡±
It was the direct decision of the emperor.
If that happens, the rules are irrelevant. No one can overturn it.
At that moment, the most excited cheers of today were raised.
Meanwhile, father, mother, and Sadiz, being totally speechless, simplyughed half-heartedly.
[S1] For a frame of reference... [here] , [here] , [here] and [here]! Your Wee!
Special thanks to Genxun & Jared Austin for their support. Tier rewards are avable [here].

¡°Then, all students except for the two in the first match of the first round please go back inside. I shall start the first match immediately!¡±
With the host¡¯s words, everyone else goes back leaving only me and Rebal.
¡°...... Earth...... ?¡±
¡°Princess... we¡¯ll be back soon~.¡±
Rebal gives an unconcerned nce at the scene as Fu, who seemed stunned for some reason, takes the fluttering princess away.
What? Are you getting jealous, Fu?
Then, with such an expression, Rebal looked at me this time and sighed.
¡°Earth... a little...... you seem to have returned to how you were back then.¡±
¡°Ah? What¡¯s this, all of a sudden...¡±
¡°I understand. Princess Phianse¡¯s feelings...... But, even so I thought I am as I am.... I said that, but...¡±
What¡¯s with the sudden sad face? What? He suddenly looks disappointed.
No way, did he lose the will to fight before we fight each other?
But that¡¯s...
¡°But still I¡¯ll show you. My power. My feelings. Earth...... today, you¡¯ll be my stepping stone!¡±
Seems my concern was unnecessary. Right from the start, there was no reluctance... no, even more unpleasant fighting spirit is released at the moment.
¡°Heh, I¡¯m excited too, so I hope you don¡¯t slip and fall off.¡±
¡°As usual, only big talk!¡±
Then, I also prepare to attack without hesitation.
Rebal and I face each other in the arena, with Lingaun standing in the middle.
¡°Now... I have my eye on you, Earth. Just you.¡±
¡°Since the opponent is Rebal, it might be tough, but... but he¡¯s a little self-confident.¡±
¡°Certainly...... I only know Earth¡¯s ability ording to the Academy¡¯s current records, but... I¡¯m concerned he¡¯s surprisingly gained a cocksure nature.¡±
Fathers, mothers, emperors...
¡°It¡¯s a sight to see.¡±
¡°With how strong Rebal is...¡±
¡°Mr. Rebal, do your best...¡±
Arge audience. And......
¡°Little man...¡±
Watch me, Sadiz... I am......
¡°Little man... Wai-, Little man! Isn¡¯t he empty-handed! I gave you a sword before you left!?¡±
And then. Sadiz¡¯s voice echoed as a tense atmosphere emerged just before the start of the match.
Yes, now I¡¯m empty-handed just warping the bandages.
When the crowd suddenly realized what was happening, they voiced out from their surprise.
¡°Hey, is the son of hero, Hiro, nervous?¡±
¡°You¡¯re going to show off the Magic Sword you¡¯ve inherited from your father, aren¡¯t you? To forget the sword in the end!¡±
¡°Ha ha, that¡¯s no good. Isn¡¯t this match already decided?¡±
I would be surprised. Because the son of hero, Hiro, does not have a sword.
No, in this case, everyone seems to be stunned at the thought that ¡®I forgot to bring the sword¡¯.
¡°Seriously... Go get your sword quickly.¡±
Naturally Rebal gives a faint sigh.
But that¡¯s fine.
¡°No, it¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m using my fists. That¡¯s why.¡±
¡°...... Eh!?¡±
Left arm lowered slightly, hold the stance in the half-body posture and raise the right fist a little. [1]
And, bounce in proper rhythm with the toe rather than the soles of the feet.
¡ºHo, you mean tomence from the ¡®Great Demon Flicker¡¯? But...... Will you not reveal the Breakthrough? ¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words resound beside me. But here...
¡¸Of course... But first I want to try it out... the sensation and sharpness of the movements...... more than anything else...¡¹
¡ºMore than anything else?¡»
¡¸The results of Magical Ladder... The results of Magical Speed Reading... The results of Phantom Spar and ¡¾Vier¡¿ Spar.¡¹
¡ºI see.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was satisfied with my words to be in a good mood.
Yes, I want to try it out first.
Reflexes and agility trained with thedder. Also footwork.
Dynamic vision and peripheral vision trained by speed reading.
It¡¯s hard to gauge those results when your physical abilities are boosted using a breakthrough.
¡°Hey... What do you mean, Earth!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
But not knowing my intentions, Rebal was furious with me trying to fight with my fist without holding a sword.
Oh, seems pretty serious and angry.
¡°Heeeeeey, Earth! Ah, what are you doing? You¡¯re supposed to wield the same Magic Sword as your dad!¡± [2]
¡°Earth, for a joke it¡¯s too much!¡±
And, not even my real parents know what¡¯s going on here.
¡°Hey! Earth, take this seriously! Rebal is serious about fighting, so I can¡¯t overlook that attitude!¡±
It was the same for the princess who has had many mock battles with me over three years.
But I......
¡°I¡¯m here, not the Great Hero, Hiro... not even Mamu, the War Maiden! Not even the son of a hero! I¡¯m the one who¡¯s here, me! Earth Lagann!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡°And this is my way, starting here!¡±
I barked. So I¡¯ll prove it right away.
¡°Aah, is it okay now? Right, then the first match of the first round! Start!¡±
And, Lingaun, though he is a little puzzled, raises his hand and announces the start of the match.
It¡¯s a signal to my new beginning.
¡°...... Haah~...... If only you would reflect on things a little, this is truly..... unforgivable! Enough! Earth, at least with this blow!¡±
Here hees! He immediately pulls the sword out of the sheath.
A Bastard Sword.
It can be swung either with one hand or both hands depending on the situation.
Rebal, who is not adept at magic, is a man who pursues only pure swordsmanship, not a sword that emphasizes destructive power like a Magic Sword.
He kicked the ground with strength, and jumped a step to be in front of me...
¡°Fast... I guess.¡±
He jumped in front of me as soon as it started and swung down at my shoulder from above.
I backstep only half a step to avoid it.
¡°Sei!¡±
However, he reacted to my movement, immediately changing the trajectory of the sword and turned the swing into a thrust.
The sharply changed trajectory of the sword aims at my left nk. But...... Here, I evaded sideways by a hair¡¯s breadth.
¡°Heh!?¡±
While evading to the side, I noticed Rebal¡¯s head is defenseless.
Oh, I could get three left-handed flicker shots in. But for the time being, let¡¯s just get around that.
¡°...... My eyes are getting much better... very responsive.¡±
It seems Rebal and the blood that had gone to his head have settled a little.
You didn¡¯t expect me to avoid the sword twice.
His eyes are returning to their original shade with some astonishment.
For now, I¡¯ll take a little distance and wait.
¡°Oh... that Earth... he evaded it.¡±
¡°...... Without useless movement...... Perfectly...¡±
¡°...... Huh...¡±
Really, my father should not be surprised yet, not with this level.
But that¡¯s fine.
What is surprising is yet toe.
¡°You are a bit capable... But if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll beat you up with a high-speed barrage you can¡¯t avoid.¡±
Rebal seems a little more serious this time.
Like with the two previous shots, I don¡¯t put any strength in my shoulders.
Staying loose, and with a smooth stance, he once again jumps at me with a powerful step.
¡°¡¾Imperial Sword ? Blooming de Profusion¡¿!!!!¡±
The sword glows as if the sh ran.
From above, to the shoulders, from the side, from the bottom, a barrage from every angle.
¡°Oh, that Rebal, to have mastered that at his age!¡±
¡°Hey, Earth, retreat! If you receive that, it won¡¯t end well!¡±
¡°He¡¯s a terrifying natural talent... Rebal... It¡¯splete as a technique.¡±
The crowd roared, and my parents and the emperor were amazed.
I¡¯m surprised, too.
It¡¯s not much, but it¡¯s a technique I could never bring out when I was imitating my father¡¯s Magic Sword.
This is the most difficult barrage technique in the Imperial Style swordy.
And I....
¡°Top, Bottom, Middle, Right, Left, Right...¡±
¡°I won¡¯t miss, Earth!¡±
Surprised. I avoided it, I didn¡¯t feel the need to retreat.
I mean, I¡¯ve already seen through this technique.
¡°Oooooh, amazing, that Rebal!¡±
¡°Oh, even Intermediate Warriors can¡¯t use it, ¡¾Blooming de Profusion¡¿!¡±
¡°Then, Earth is finished...¡±
¡°Oh, regrettable, thought he¡¯dst a bit longer!¡±
Half-step down, bend slightly, repeating right and left... This is avoided by swaying the upper body.
¡¸...... Li... ttle man...? Huh? ¡¹
Every sword path, the next trajectory and Rebal¡¯s movements, the movement of the muscle and the line of sight can all be predicted as well.
I know and react before I see.
As if it were precognition, I instantly see what Rebal ns to do next.
And the moment I know, the brain-to-musclemand is performed instantly, and my body moves as the brain tells it to.
Everything was as imagined.
¡°Amazing, but, the son of the great hero won¡¯t leave with his limbs.¡±
¡°Ah. It¡¯s only a matter of time.¡±
¡°It won¡¯t be funny when it hits...¡±
¡°...... Ah...... if I it hits... Wha-?¡±
And although the audience had been excited all along, they¡¯re gradually feeling a little ufortable.
¡°...... Oh... the attacks aren¡¯t hitting. So...?¡±
¡°Really... N-No way... he saw through everything? That sword of Rebal¡¯s?¡±
¡°...... This is...¡±
My parents might have begun to notice.
¡°Wh-... What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be... th-this is...¡±
Both the princess and Fu are puzzled.
Or rather, in the middle of a serious match, how do I even understand the reaction of the people around me?
Am I getting distracted?
No, that¡¯s not it.
My senses are sharpened and now I know that everything around me is within reach.
Not only Rebal, but also the flow of the wind, the voices and reactions of the audience, and my parents.
¡ºFuhahahahaha, tis only natural.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar isughing happily.
¡ºFor thest two months, who do you think you have been sparring with? The movement of the former Sword Saint was traced, and the sparring exercise performed, and on asion swung to the most powerful swordsmanship of the demon world, Heavenly Demon Sword Style (Maten Mitsurugi-ryu). For a child who has be slightly ustomed to my movements...... this prodigy is mere child¡¯s y, hold and then observe.¡» [3]
That¡¯s right.
I can probably reach out for the sword¡¯s path, grab it, and stop it.
¡ºNow, tis time to show him your attack. The power of your left. And prove it! Those who control the left will control the spiritual realm of Demon World! ¡»
Now I can do anything!
¡°Wh... What? Wh-What¡¯s the meaning of this? Earth...... You are...¡±
And, I educate Rebal who is puzzled by this situation the most in front of me.
¡°I¡¯ll enlighten you now, Rebal! What you guys never knew, I¡¯m me!¡±
Here we go, at the gong!
[S1] Here Earth adopts the ¡® [Hanmi] ¡¯ stance, a simple ssic martial arts fighting posture.
[S2] ?(?_??) How? You never taught him any of that infamous Magic Sword!
[S3] Pretty sure this is a reference to [Rurouni Kenshi]. In particr Himura Kenshin¡¯s signature fighting style, Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu (Flying Heavenly Sword Style).
Chapter 37 – A Storm of Fists
Chapter 37 ¨C A Storm of Fists
Tranted by: Sads07
By a sheet of paper.
By a piece of cloth.
By a skin¡¯s depth.
That¡¯s how close the attackse to hitting at thest minute every time.
However, it never does.
I don¡¯t get hit.
Not only do I see everything, but I can also adjust the margin by which I evade them.
¡°Ah, Earth... you...¡±
As he swings his sword, Rebal is starting to get confused.
Certainly, Rebal¡¯s sword may be swift.
However, if the sword is likened to a long arm, it does not have a joint, so there is no unexpected trajectory along the way.
By looking at the angle of the shoulder and the arm, even if swung with both hands, you can predict the sword¡¯s trajectory before you see it.
¡°Wow, I, just now, I think he got grazed!?¡±
¡°Rebal is getting even faster!¡±
¡°At this rate, he¡¯ll receive all the blows eventually!¡±
¡°Earth can¡¯t do anything while defending!¡±
I didn¡¯t get grazed. I¡¯m letting you underestimate me.
I make sure not even a single scratch on my skin can be identified.
¡°Tch, then... Imperial Sword!¡±
But, the same can¡¯t be said for Rebal.
He elerates his attacks and tries to take me down with force.
Legs, rushing in, everything is stronger and more powerful now, and Rebal is in a serious state of mind.
¡°¡¾Celestial Light Blooming Strident Dance¡¿¡±
¡°Haha! ¡°
Indeed, a cutting sh split into multipleyers seemingly at the speed of light.
¡°What, that Rebal, even that sword!¡±
¡°Even among senior swordsmen there are only a few users...¡±
¡°That might kill him!¡±
Naturally, the audience would think ¡®this is the end¡¯.
At the moment, I¡¯m not d in magical power.
If I fail to avoid a single blow, that¡¯s it.
So I avoid it... with full spirit!
¡°Can¡¯t you catch me?¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
All strikes, shortest distance, minimum, fastest evasion.
The feet move lightly showing the results of thedder training, and move as smooth as I imagine.
Themands sent by the brain reaches to the body at the speed of light and are executed.
Lightning fast footwork.
¡°...... h-hey... Rival fe, how many swords...¡±
¡°Tsu... h-hey, for some time now...¡±
¡°...... Wait a minute?¡±
¡°Um, hey? Mr. Rebal¡¯s sword... it¡¯s quite a while.¡±
¡°Wha-, hey, that... By any chance....¡±
Oh, the audience seems to have noticed that it is bing strange gradually though they were chattering away until a while ago.
¡°Wh-Why... Little man this... Those movements...?¡±
Oh, you¡¯re even more surprised, Sadiz!
¡°Celestial... the entire sword... Rebal¡¯s swordsmanship is insane. I mean, to see it all.... all Earth!¡±
¡°Are you kidding me? Earth¡¯s reflexes... And, uh... like wings... How do you move your feet?¡±
¡°...... Hiro, di-didn¡¯t you train him!?¡±
Are you watching? Father, Mother, Emperor!
¡°It can¡¯t be... Why?! Rebal¡¯s sword... even the fire dragon got knocked down, Rebal¡¯s sword is... not hitting!? Even though Rebal hasn¡¯t used ¡®that power¡¯ yet, what does this mean?¡±
Oh. It makes sense if it doesn¡¯t hit you, Fu!
¡°Dummy... I, even I don¡¯t know.... I don¡¯t know this Earth! What is this? What¡¯s going on over there!?¡±
Princess, the most amazing thing is that you, who knows the best of my abilities, are so surprised!
¡°Eh, Earth! Oh, how in the world are you ahead!?¡±
And, the moment Rebal asked me, while swinging the sword at the speed of light, trying not to exude uncontroble bewilderment, I felt it was already over.
And then......
¡ºKukuko,e now... with this durd... and your dumb, peaceful father and all the heroes, show them.¡»
¡¸Osu!¡¹
I will prove myself.
¡°Buha!?¡±
I finally reached out for the first time.
¡°¡±¡±¡± Earth¡¯s attack has reached Rebal!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
The left, like punching through Rebal¡¯s face diagonally from below. It¡¯s a series of hits.
¡°Buha, Gu, Na, Gu!?¡±
¡¾Great Demon Flicker Jab¡¿!
Use a snap and swing out from below.
That¡¯s not all.
The moment Rebal tried to advance, the moment his posture became slightly lower by stepping forward, I lowered my hips and struck out like a counter from below.
As a result, with a fist that has not yet been strengthened by breakthrough, I punched out Rebal¡¯s nose and jaw, scattering fresh blood.
¡°Oh noooo! Rebal¡¯s face is ah ah!?¡±
¡°Oh, so fast!? What, that punch!¡±
¡°Why can Earth use such an attack?¡±
¡°Rebal has a sword, why can you punch him so easily?¡±
Normally, you don¡¯t fight bare-handed against someone with a weapon.
In the unlikely event that you do, you set up a super close-quarters battle to kill your opponent between pauses.
But now, this distance on the left is good enough for me.... So I strike!
¡°Guh... Fast...... Ga Guh..... can¡¯t react!? Gu... Guh...! ¡°
However, it is not a one-shot technique.
Rebal receives my fist, but if he can¡¯t avoid it, he¡¯ll try to forciblyunch an attack while ferociously enduring and venturing forward.
¡°Imperial sword... Bu, ha, gah¡±
However, the moment he tries to use his techniques, I interrupt it with a series of hits.
Rebal¡¯s jaw, then nose, bash the ear and at the moment he flinches hit the jaw again.
¡ºKuku, fuhahahahaha, unable to even activate your skills? The initial motions of the Sword Saint¡¯s Sessor are too obvious to the child today.¡»
Yes, I won¡¯t allow the opponent to even activate their skills.
In other words, I crush the initial motions.
With my current eyesight, I picked up on all of Rebal¡¯s initial motions for his techniques and understood them.
On the other hand, I rock my shoulders and feet in small increments, and by swinging my left like a pendulum, I try not to telegraph the initial motions and shoot the left in the movement.
A technique for throwing a punch, not increasing the power of the punch.
¡ºYes, the biggest weapon in a fight is... the left jab, delivered when the left side of the body is facing forward. A weapon that is closest to your opponent and can strike at their head in the shortest possible time. In addition, the flicker¡¯s trajectory, which lowers at the left, seems like a whip and flies diagonally from below, is invisible to him.¡»
Imperial style also has martial arts. However, that mold was discardedpletely by the spars with Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºEven if you learn impractical kicks and exaggerated punches, it makes no sense if youck the process necessary tond the hit. In that respect, the left jab is effective in the assembly of attacks, in principle, in all aspects. Also...... by continuously hitting with the left, it bes..... a weapon sufficiently capable of killing.¡»
Rebal¡¯s torso wavers as the activation of his technique is suppressed.
The opening is too enticing, I jump in without patience.
¡ºAnd now, on the left, destroy your opponent, strike with the umted cannon! ¡»
A quick step-in, right fist towards Rebal. No...... Wait.
¡°Hmm?¡±
Is Rebal about to snap? He¡¯s going to open up the part of himself he¡¯s hidden within.
I understood that in advance.
¡°Ku, Gah..... tch tch, St...... Stay awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!¡±
¡°...... Oh.¡±
As expected, I can¡¯t end it with just one left.
I suppose it¡¯s not always so easy.
But still, the right is cocked and waiting.
¡°Oh, Rival roared!¡±
¡°Amazing, it¡¯s like he¡¯s blowing away the surroundings... such Fighting Spirit!?¡±
¡°He forced Earth to back away from his range.... No way...¡±
Before I was blown off, I took a quick backstep away by myself.
As a result, I took no damage.
¡°Haa, ha... Earth...... you...¡±
¡°Yo. That¡¯s a pretty good look, isn¡¯t it?¡±
And, there was a pause in the offensive and defensive battle that began, and there was Rebal, violently short breath and swollen face with blood and bruises, and me who was unscathed.
At this point, the cheers and the startled voices no longer rise.
Everyone is quiet, at a loss for words as if they were looking at something unusual.
¡ºFufu... Alright...... How is this? Hiro. Gradually, your son is tainted. Well, you and I never fought in this fashion, so you would not be aware of my shadow.... But what do you think of this child who shows not even a glimpse of your talent, or Mamu¡¯s? Huh-ha-ha! ¡»
And, perhaps he was in a good mood after what I¡¯ve done so far, Tre¡¯ainar wasughing as he looked up at my parents.
Yes, no matter how you look at it, it¡¯s a ¡®pause¡¯. It¡¯s like an interval.
But what do you do when your opponent is still upset?
¡°So... is it break time already? Rebal!¡±
¡°Gu, Earth!¡±
I kick the ground hard, and this time I jump with one step and got into the space in front of Rebal.
But, I didn¡¯t use steps that would confuse the opponent, I flew in a straight line.
¡°From the front... Don¡¯t take me lightly, Earth! It¡¯s certainly hard to catch your left punch and your footwork, but....¡±
Of course, Rebal reacts.
¡°Here! I got you!¡±
He tries to intercept me flying straight at him with a counter, and swings his sword down from the front toward my head.
At that moment, I chuckled inward and made a sudden stop.
One of the steps trained with thedder.
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°Hehe¡±
If you¡¯re about tounch an unavoidable attack, a guy like Rebal won¡¯t choose to ¡®retreat¡¯.
He¡¯ll try to thwart my frontal attack with his sword.
So, I¡¯ll bait him.
Rebal reacts, his head is wide open as he instinctivelymences the attack, his sword is lured in.
Rebal totally fell for it.
¡°Damn it!? My sword.... is swung!?¡±
Yes, I made him swing his sword at my timing.
What if you know in advance when and where your opponent swings their sword?
In a state where he swung his sword and missed, Rebal¡¯s face was full of openings... Well, this strategy was taught by Tre¡¯ainar.... And this fist, too...
¡°Pierce through the limits!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
The long-awaited right. A punch that uses the shoulder, elbow, and wrist to push forward like a drill.
¡¾Great Demon CorkScrew Blow¡¿.
All this makes me excited.
Well, his naming sense is uneptable, so I¡¯ll have to shout the new name of this skill.
Yes, this is my deadly...
¡°Special Move, ¡¾Fang of Heavenly Light ? Meteor sh Spir- uh... Uh, uh... Do iiiiiiiiittt!¡±
¡°Guha!¡±
Darn! I did it, I fumbled the technique name aaaaaaaaaahh!
Gahd Dammiiiiiiiittt!
The long awaited, debut of my ¡¾Fang of Heavenly Light ? Meteor sh Screwattack¡¿! [1] [S1]
¡º...... Hey...... cur, how dare you even consider this motion? The extent of such pathetic naming sense...... Did you conceive the moniker knowing you will regret ever uttering it in a year or two? Light? sh? You basically used the same thing twice? Is it that important? ¡»
Like that, Tre¡¯ainar whispers out to me in a very cold, rather unusual way.
No, no matter how you think about it, I have a better naming sense, right?
Oh, for now, I punched Rebal through the temple and he rolled down to the ground.
Author¡¯s Note
Well, it¡¯s not going to be a knockout, Rebal is here to show his true self. But now I¡¯d be more ashamed of having eaten such a deathblow!
Oh, the overall rating exceeds 40,000 points.. I wonder, it¡¯s a bad thing when the author mentions the point, right? I hear that you disliked it, so I will start over.
Oh, the overall rating has exceeded 40,000 drills! Thank you for your spiral power. Or, after all, I waspletely naked all week. When I saw it just now, the ranking of the day was also one digit, and I was grateful. Activate the quick attack magic ¡®Post¡¯!
We¡¯re one step closer to our goal of one million drills.
Thank you in the future.
[S1] Oh my God! It¡¯s Spreading!!!
[Chapter 38 – Intermission (Demon King)]
Chapter 38 ¨C Intermission (Demon King)
Tranted by: Sads07
Tis a very valuable experience.
I have led many in the past, but never have I raised anyone.
Tis not bad, this feeling as the student fully demonstrates their results and growth.
¡°Earth¡¯s Fist caught Rebal!¡±
¡°Oh, Mr. Rebal!?¡±
¡°Rebal fell... now, he¡¯s face down on the floor!¡±
¡°P-Powerful... Earth, so strong!¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on...a genius like Rebal can¡¯t be left helpless on his hands and knees, right!?¡±
Until now, with the crowd¡¯s narrow-minded notion of ¡®knowing his nature¡¯ when it came to the child, their subsequent surprised reaction had me burst intoughter.
And above all......
¡°I, I can¡¯t believe it... that Earth, where did you learn that? When did you learn that?¡±
¡°With Hiro... me and... much less, it¡¯s different from Sadiz. How the heck did he...?¡±
More than anything, the fact that you are incapable of masking your surprise proves my superiority.
Say? Hiro. Mamu.
You do not understand, do you?
What happened to your son and why he gained so much power!
Everything is too much.
Despite the fact that I waspletely destroyed by you and be but a spirit, this in a way, still verifies my existence.
¡ºAnd yet...... tis ironic.¡»
The moment I uttered so, I recall a little of the past.
Once, when he was close in age to the child of today, it was during one of our battles.
¨C Bonds ofpanions who can believe each other ¨C ¨C
The mere recollection of such a curious remark is vexing.
I was frustrated by the dreams of a spoiled child.
However, I must admit that in any form I was defeated still.
After losing, no matter my denial of his words now, I am sour.
¨CWe humans cannot lose! And, we can never ovee the racial wall with the demons!¨C
Oh,e to think of it, you said that as well.
So, tis been more than ten years since then, what happened?
In the world you gained after defeating me, were you able to realize the sweet jest of the past?
There is no way to know the answer beyond now.
As such, it may be decided with the child.
Yes, your son.... Hiro...
¡ºHuh... Even so, this is also something.... You and I have faced each other on many asions, but... Now we do not fight each other, we simply do the same thing... I am watching over the same man. And you , who should know your own son better than anyone else, know nothing, and now I know your son better....¡»
Involuntarily, I looked up at that man in the guest sitting.
He can neither see me, nor can he hear me.
As such, no matter how much I muttered to myself, unless the child is there to hear it, it matters not.
However, I still inadvertently uttered it.
The son of my former nemesis who I guided on a whim.
¡ºThe post-war world... I know nothing of the state of this world right now. At least your family does not seem to be faring very well. Rebellion... tis a little difficult to get rid of such with mere words, as you can tell if you look at your son.¡»
Although he was of my nemesis¡¯ lineage, nevertheless he was permanently connected with the seal that held me and my obsession.
We now share a peculiar rtionship, although tis like ying master and pupil, killing time after over ten years was more than enough.
At the beginning, I stopped the child from fighting in a style reminiscent of Hiro.
Not only because I did not care for it, but I also decided it did not suit the child.
However, when I put it into words and said it directly to the child, I was surprised.
When this 15-year-old boy heard, ¡®I don¡¯t have the same talent as my father¡¯, he in turn says to me,
¨CI-it¡¯s not... Somehow, I have a rather pleasant feeling about this! Not like I¡¯m my father¡¯s son......exactly, more like I¡¯m myself! I feel like a curse upon me has been reduced a little bit, and it made me feel better¨C
He said so in earnest, not in his own way, to me.
¨CPlease, Tre¡¯ainar. Lead me to the right path¨C
The child would not have noticed it either. At that time, the moment I heard those words, my astonishment was such that my face almost fell out.
¡ºDo you understand? Hiro. People do not easily discard what they have umted or have been aiming for. If you put in the effort, pushed forward, and spent all that time on it, you would like to believe that it was not all for naught. To throw it away just by being told such by a person is, in a sense, a denial of the past self.¡»
Yes, so I made the proposal myself, and informed the child, ¡®I don¡¯t have the same talent as my father¡¯, I assumed the child would disagree and turn rebellious.
However, he did not.
¡ºYou abandoned your son, did you not? Whatever words maye from your mouth, your focus up to this point, is always rooted to your dream and style. Rather that, I believe that it alleviates the burden... Do you know what that means? Hiro!¡»
If you were the child, you would realize how little time you and your parents have spent with each other.
And when I consider your attitude toward your son, perhaps there was a desire simr to that of ¡®parents and children being connected by their hearts¡¯.
Such could be said as the child¡¯s fighting style was still ¡®the same magic sword as his father¡¯.
However, the child has forsaken all that.
At the end of the day, he will not aim to be an Imperial Knight like you. He refuses to follow the path you have taken or the future you have prepared.
Then Hiro. Mamu. What have you left to your son?
¡ºBeing so surprised your face says ¡®I don¡¯t know what happened¡¯ after only two months of training, does that not really mean your loss here?¡»
You have defeated me, gained world peace, the right to life of mankind, the future, and you have earned the title of one and only hero.
But at this rate, will you not forfeit the ordinary mon happiness¡¯ that is due a person?
¡ºHmph... so asinine... I never cared in the first ce... whatever bes of your family... Even if you as a married couple were deemed incapable as parents... tis all about the rtions with me. I...¡»
Indeed, seeming that.... why, was I foolish to even consider such...
In the days of more than ten years being sealed, I really did not care that much.... In the days I spent with the child... cravingly I remember so much...
¡º...... one who despises other races...¡»
Well, tis not something that can be helped for now.
¡ºMy decision to train the child is impulsive, the result of being swept in the flow of events. I... do not intend to act as intermediary between parent and child, right?¡»
Besides, I have already done so once.
¨CThe first thing you should do is... rather than knowing the power of Hiro as a hero, rather than surpassing Hiro as a hero.... first of all,prehend the path that Hiro took to be a hero¨C
I only thought that it would be a factor of the growth of the child, and I would never teach anything.
If you do not face your son and teach him, if the child still does not want to know, it matters not.
I will not meddle.
There is only one thing left to do.
¡°Gu, Ku... Earth...¡±
¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite tough. Even after eating my deadly punch, it wasn¡¯t enough to knock you out.¡±
The Second Sword Saint rose up.
He must have suffered a great deal of damage, but he most likely reduced the power slightly by twisting his neck just before.
Should we say such agility was as one would expect, or perhaps the child being unable to end it is immature?
Perhaps, the Second Sword Saint is ¡®still hiding power¡¯ it seems.
If you do not take him down when the opportunity presents itself, you mighte to regret itter, would you not?
However, for the moment, the child still has an overwhelming advantage.
Of course, going by the chatter among the audience, they might have the same recognition of the events.
¡°He stood up! Rebal¡¯s up!¡±
¡°But, are you okay? You were beaten so much....¡±
¡°Even so, Earth is so strong...¡±
¡°Until now, you were saying that the Son of Hiro and Mamu would lose!¡±
¡°I knew that, didn¡¯t I? Young Earth is a man who does it when he does it!¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s ridiculous!¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯ve reconsidered it!¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s true¡ª¡°
Ah, even after doing this much... yet they still...
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Surely, the son of the hero!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Hiiro... Mamu... Do you not notice now?
The words of praise the crowd send in admiration, and how calm the child¡¯s heart is.
Though he smiles fearlessly at his opponent, his eyebrows twitch slightly at the audience¡¯s remarks, and the reactions pull at the child¡¯s mouth.
So...... Child...... It still seems to be insufficient.
Even with this, it seems the world still does not recognize you.
Then show me more. As my disciple, rouse the crowd.
And the words you most desire. Have them acknowledge ¡¯As expected, he is Earth Lagann¡¯.
I will watch that moment.
Tis one thing I can do now.
After all, I am a master.

For a moment, I put in a story to make room once. I was going to do it somewhere, but I couldn¡¯t find the timing here.
It was good tomorrow, but today I saw a movie and my tension went up.
Chapter 39 – Selfishness
Chapter 39 ¨C Selfishness
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Earth... What the hell are you?¡±
As I slowly took small steps to create some distance, Rebal doesn¡¯t engage, he instead expresses his feelings.
Maybe, with the silence that has currently fallen over the arena, it seems the people are having simr thoughts.
¡°As a magic swordsman, you abandoned your sword... yet you used this kind of technique.... Did you learn it from Sir Hiro and Lady Mamu?¡±
How did I gain this power and fighting style?
First of all, perhaps it¡¯s my father, would be the reason they¡¯ll consider first.
¡°...... Aren¡¯t they just as surprised? Their mouths are wide open next to his Majesty!¡±
¡°............ Eh!¡±
Saying that, I lean forward and point to the guest seats and my shocked parents.
Hearing that, Rebal¡¯s expression seemed as if he swallowed a bitter bug.
¡°It¡¯s not just Martial art. Its movement ispletely different from the Imperial style... And yet, the mold is unique, yet it flows beautifully without faltering.... How did you do that?¡±
And, I¡¯m sure everyone¡¯s curious about how.
Father also leans out and waits for my answer.
However, I can¡¯t mention anything about Tre¡¯ainar.
So all I can say is...
¡°In order to improve my basic skills, I practiced footwork, and earnestly spar.... repeat mock battles... and I read!¡±
It¡¯s not a lie. The process was mostly repetition.
¡°You read... Don¡¯t mess around! With just that...... that alone was all it took!¡±
However, Rebal appears unconvinced by it.
Because there¡¯s pride in saying, ¡®I¡¯ve only done that¡¯.
¡°I¡¯ve been single-mindedly swinging my sword. While studying abroad, I gained experience in swordsmanship with warriors and powerhouses from other countries.... In addition, even a fire dragon was brought down with this sword! All to be the strongest swordsman!¡±
Far from being a fire dragon, I had relentless training for two months with the opponent who fought the Dragon King and knocked it down... Well, it¡¯s virtual, but...
¡°But... that...... I¡¯m at the mercy of a martial art, of which I don¡¯t even know when, where, or how you learned it.... Just mock battles? And reading? Don¡¯t be silly! I¡¯m listening to you seriously!¡±
That¡¯s why Rebal shouted at my words, ¡®that can¡¯t be all, right?¡¯, that I wasn¡¯t taught by my parents, that I didn¡¯t learn anything from them, that I had learned everything in secret, that I had learned everything from him, and that I did it all with basic training, mock battles and reading.
But to be honest ... really, that¡¯s all. I even read through the Destiny series.
No, I kept on doing it.
¡°It¡¯s true, Rebal. I¡¯m like you.... so I possess good conviction.... I didn¡¯t put in more effort or earned more achievements than you. It¡¯s just, really...... That¡¯s all I did.¡±
¡°Still over this short period...¡±
¡°Yet that¡¯s all I did, but... I feel like I¡¯ve changed my view on things a little bit. Maybe in a big way.¡±
If Rebal said, ¡®There must be something else¡¯, if he insistently brings it up, I felt I should reveal it all.
¡°Ever since I entered the Academy, I was irritated by a wall that I couldn¡¯t ovee. As my father and mother¡¯s child, I wasn¡¯t enough.... That was the opinion of those around me, they knew of my power and were convinced, because I couldn¡¯t break through that wall.¡±
That¡¯s when the public expectations of me were gradually getting heavier.
¡°I don¡¯t have the collective strength of the princess, or magical talent like Fu. I don¡¯t have special sword skills that have been learned through bloody efforts like you. I was just wielding a magic sword that imitated my father.¡±
And, at the same time, unlike the princesses, there was nothing lesser I could project on, so I gained an inferiorityplex.
I tried desperately to be like my father, but I didn¡¯t grow up or awaken like I and everyone wanted.
¡°You know that, too. I¡¯m the only one who was different.... I¡¯m the only one who wasn¡¯t good enough.... I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s a failure... He¡¯s such a half-hearted person.¡±
¡°Ear... th... No...... That¡¯s not true.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Everyone thought so. You guys... The people in this country... surely...... even my parents would have thought so. And even me.¡±
That¡¯s how I began to think of myself, and I gradually lost confidence in myself, and I was getting depressed and sulky.
But......
¡°But one day, a meddling guy told me clearly. I don¡¯t have the same talent as my father. Even if I imitate my father, I would spend my whole life and never catch up with him.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯mcking, still immature, or might awaken someday. He clearly said ¡®I can¡¯t do it¡¯.¡±
The audience got abuzz with the surprise same as Rebal.
When I nced at the guest seat, my father and mother looked surprised and shocked.
But......
¡°But instead he said this. If I can¡¯t catch up with my father by imitating him.... I should think about making the most of my own individuality..... that¡¯s what.¡±
Yes, wear something that suits me, not my father.
Those words were truly eye catching, and I was able to change from there.
¡°Well, I still don¡¯t know if this martial art suits me or not, and I¡¯m still on the path. It¡¯s just that I was so refreshed. I¡¯m neither my father nor my mother. I¡¯m the right fit for me, so I¡¯m going my own way.... that¡¯s what I realized.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s guidance itself was certainly important and I affirmed myself, and in a short time he pulled me up.
But the other factors that helped me grow like this....
¡°I felt lighter now that I lost something heavy.¡±
Unexpectedly, I could voice my thoughts so naturally.
But, for us, ¡®The Second Generation¡¯......
¡°Don¡¯t... mess with...... Don¡¯t you mess with me, Earth! Do you realize what you¡¯re saying!? The Magic Sword of Hero, Hiro, who saved the world and defeated the Great Demon King.... the War Maiden Mamu¡¯s Martial Art... going your own way without inheriting all that power? You...... What will we do if we don¡¯t inherit the power of our great forefathers and pass it on to future generations!¡±
Rebal shouted furiously at my words.
¡°That... I didn¡¯t think you would say that! This is...... it¡¯s such a sad thing!¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on... You¡¯re always so cool, now you¡¯re surprisingly heated?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t dodge this! As a trusted friend.... You...... you¡¯re the one.... we¡¯ve been together for a long time.... leading us...... that¡¯s why you... nevertheless... such a thing, it can¡¯t be!¡±
It¡¯s not just Rebal, but the princess and the Fu as well.
The Seven Great Heroes. The powers that saved the world, saved mankind.
For us who are their blood rtives to not inherit that, the fact is that idea is unforgivable.
So......
¡°I¡¯ll make you understand... Earth! We¡¯re not fighting alone! Supported by many, inheriting their thoughts, carrying them on their backs, standing here! To you who tries to despise everything for your own selfish reasons...... I¡¯ll do my best to make you understand!¡±
The usually cool Rebal is hot and intense.
I¡¯m going to use my strength to ¡®defeat you¡¯ not to ¡®win¡¯.
I¡¯m in that frame of mind.
¡°Even if I¡¯m selfish, my stance in this match won¡¯t change. I¡¯ll prove myself and show my power to those who didn¡¯t believe I could win! To you, to my father, to my mother, to Sadiz, to the people of this country!¡±
And now there¡¯s one more...
¡°And to reward the humble fellow who guided me before I could prove myself... I¡¯ll show it in the results! Enchantment with a fist!¡±
To reward the one who is still watching over me.
In that sense, it might not be a selfish reason for me alone.
It¡¯s like a thank you to him.
Maybe it¡¯s better off than helping him read a hundred books he likes, or politely thanking him.
¡ºTis so.¡»
There you go.
¡°So... as I tend to bber and whine with my mouth, I¡¯ll trymunicating it to your body!¡±
¡°Ah. I¡¯ll show you! To you who were cozy in the warm environment of Imperial City...... My resolve!!¡±
It¡¯s the real thing from now on.
However, I will stand in response.
For me now, I¡¯d be hit head-on with Rebal¡¯s confidence and experience.
¡ºOf course. Now, prove yourself.¡»
Just a word, his words, which affirmed that, gave me more confidence, and at the same time my heart became heated, and my back was pushed out hard.
¡¸Osu!¡¹
I didn¡¯t feel like losing anymore.

I¡¯ll be sure to reply to your impressions! But I didn¡¯t make it this time, so I¡¯ll post it first! I¡¯m sorry! I waste getting up. I¡¯m sorry I was born!
Chapter 40 – Green
Chapter 40 ¨C Green
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Earth... abandoned......? Certainly...... he was hesitant about bing an Imperial Knight, but... he also stopped aiming for me and Mamu.¡±
¡°That girl... she was so determined.... I...... left it to Sadiz, what is this...¡±
After hearing my words my father and mother were murmuring while casting their eyes down.
¡°Little man... I...... all this time...... what have....¡±
Sadiz, who had seen me more than anyone else, was so shocked she stopped cheering.
But don¡¯t make that face.
You don¡¯t think I¡¯m doing this to have these three people make that face.
Finally, I¡¯ll have you say ¡®well done¡¯, so watch me!
¡°Let¡¯s go... Earth...... This time, I¡¯m moving... Can you follow?¡±
To do that, I have to beat this guy in front of me.
And at that moment, Rebal, who had been upset and trembling until now, suddenly fell silent.
At the same time, the air has apparently changed.
Rather than being quiet, it¡¯s as if he jumped into a deep sea of thought....
¡ºHo... That Second Sword Saint......he essed it...¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar, who was watching from up high muttered, somewhat impressed by Rebal.
¡¸......essed?¡¹
¡ºHave I not mentioned this before? Humans usually only exert about 30% of their full capabilities. However, tis possible to draw out the upmost limit of one¡¯s ability when in extreme danger, such as being at the verge of death in the scene of a fire. However, there are some individuals in the world who intentionally ess that state. By frequently experiencing crisis situations and scenes of carnage, the body and spirit can imprint the sensation of that time and enter the situation.¡»
Oh, speaking of which, I¡¯ve heard of that.
And by drawing out such hidden power of their own volition, they can draw out power several times more potent than usual.
¡ºTis referred as entering the ¡®Zone¡¯.¡»
Zone. In other words, that¡¯s what Rebal learned during his period of study abroad.... No, the state he finally arrived at.
¡ºI see. Tis about 1.3% stronger than I assumed.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also seems to have admitted to making a slight miscalction.
Then, it¡¯ll have a little influence on the calction that I can win...
¡°Imperial Sword... ¡¾Gale Fang¡¿!¡±
Fast! The moment I thought about it, a shock came over my shoulder.
¡°Ah, tch ch!?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve finally got you, Earth.¡±
I only knew the moment I jumped out.
The moment my body reacted to avoid it, his sword had already hit me in the shoulder.
This guy! Beyond my dynamic vision and prediction!?
¡°What the!¡±
It¡¯s dangerous. I need to keep a distance.
However, I got hit so easily.
In training with Tre¡¯ainar, I don¡¯t react after seeing it, but I trained to look ahead to the other person¡¯s shoulders, muscles, eyes, legs, and everything, but I didn¡¯t realize Rival started moving.
¡ºEven with the child¡¯s pre-reading, there is a slight dy in the reaction... A thrust which has eliminated all useless power and habits...... It must have been gained through much harsh training and many bloody battles.¡»
¡¸But if it¡¯s training, I¡¯ve done as much...¡¹
¡ºTwo months... and most of all, the child has never truly experienced ¡®actual battle¡¯. No matter how much you continue to spar, the actual battle is still different. For the child who has yet to experience an exchange with life on the line in the truest sense of the word...... is an opponent who has entered the zone not a little arduous?¡»
It¡¯s a heavy load for me. Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words weigh heavily on me, but Rebal chases after me unaware of my situation.
I tried to keep my distance in the backstep, and I immediately gained some room.
¡°Imperial Sword, ¡¾sh Meteor de¡¿!!¡±
A series of attacks. A high-speed sh attack that gives the illusion of multiple swords being drawn out at the same time.
This is clearly faster than the previous technique!
In the peripheral field of view, the angle of the hand, the handle, the movement of the arm, somehow evade.... evade...... I can¡¯t!
¡°So, it¡¯s out, high level skill, meteor sword! Rebal¡¯s real power atst! I can¡¯t see it!¡±
¡°So fast! Is that really an academy student?¡±
¡°Earth is somehow avoiding... No, he¡¯s not! Agh, more and more...... Blood.¡±
¡°Come on, Earth! Don¡¯t run around, fight like a man!¡±
¡°Mr. Rebal!¡±
¡°Wow, Rebal is so cool...¡±
Let¡¯s go! My cheeks are cut... got my arms and legs, I can¡¯t dodge!
At this rate...
¡ºThere is no winning... for the child in his current state...¡»
I can¡¯t win now.
The moment Tre¡¯ainar finally dered that, all of Rebal¡¯s shes struck my whole body.
¡°U, oh, oh, oooooooooooh!?¡±
If this was not a sword with a blunt de for the mock battle, but seriously done, my whole body would have been chopped into pieces.
This is Rebal¡¯s resolve.
The power of a genius who strives.
I can¡¯t win.
¡º¡¸There is no winning... yes, not as it is now!!¡¹¡»
At that moment, the voice in my heart matched Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Eh? What...? What are youughing at, Earth! Have you given up the match?¡±
Am Iughing? In this situation, am I?
Maybe that¡¯s the case.
Or maybe, but I¡¯m not the only one.
I¡¯m sure that¡¯s probably because Tre¡¯ainar isughing now.
He looked like he was in a good mood as he spoke.
¡ºChild. I shall ask once again. Who were you before?¡»
As the pain was being engraved all over my body, Tre¡¯ainar cheerfully asked me.
¡°I used to be... the Hero, Hiro¡¯s ......just his Son...¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
Rebal felt something in my sudden solitude. However, we continue.
¡ºThen, who are you now?¡»
¡°I¡¯m your disciple....¡±
¡ºTis so, but as a disciple, have you no notion of your standing? The first andst disciple of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar...¡»
¡°I know...¡±
¡ºAnd what will you be from this day forth?¡»
¡°It¡¯s decided!¡±
I¡¯m the son of a hero. Not wrong.
¡°You¡¯ve been mumbling for a while now! Are you serious about this fight, Earth?¡±
I am the Demon King¡¯s disciple. That¡¯s not wrong either.
But from now on, I¡¯m going to be a new me, all that way.
¡°New, and true me!¡±
¡ºYes! Show it to everyone! Go, Earth!!¡»
It was the first time Tre¡¯ainar has ever mentioned my name since we met.
I don¡¯t know if there was a deep meaning there.
He just called my name.
But for the first time, Tre¡¯ainar, who had only called me ¡®child¡¯ and had only seen me as ¡®the son of hero Hiro¡¯, called my name.
That made me so happy.
¡°Oh!¡±
What? This uplifting feeling.
It¡¯s just that I got this hot urge just to be called by my name.
I don¡¯t feel like losing!
Even if it¡¯s still iplete...
¡°Let¡¯s go, this is me, Rebal!¡±
In exchange for severe pain, the magic holes of my whole body which I intentionally pried open.
From the magic tank of the body, pull out arge amount of magic power, and keep it cloaked to the whole body.
Breakthrough Mode.
¡°Heh!? This wave of magical power... What? What does this mean!?¡±
¡°What? What¡¯s wrong with you, Fu?¡±
¡°From Earth¡¯s body... No way? The amount of magical power being released.... Is it going to be!? Why? I should be able to do it, but...¡±
Apparently, Fu noticed.
Even if there is magical power, it is not possible to release it without corresponding magic holes.
And, the ¡®original¡¯ number of the magic holes which were open in me was below Fu¡¯s.
Therefore, it is not possible to do so. But I can.
Because I forced the number of open magic holes to increase.
¡°This... Power! Why is Earth...? What the hell is that? How did he do that?¡±
¡°That light... The Great Demon King... the color is different.... but it¡¯s simr!¡±
¡°Oh... The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s light was red in color. But...... certainly there¡¯s a resemnce.¡±
Overflowing...... Magical Power itself...... Aura of magic...... a shining ¡®green¡¯ aura!
As expected, both father and mother, and His Majesty lean forward.
¡ºYes... The color of the magic differs from mine. As you mentioned at the beginning, you were proficient with the Terran Attribute. The green light of the Gaia, full of life. Hiro and other heroes fought against me, but do not know the name or principle of the mode, so tis ¡®simr¡¯...... stay in ce. Then you will have nothing to worry about, would you not?¡»
The only concern was whether my parents would think ¡®I could use the power of the Great Demon King¡¯, but it was unnecessary.
In addition, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s says his own ¡®actual fighting style¡¯ ispletely different from what I exhibited today, so I don¡¯t think they¡¯ll realize the connection between us.
¡°This power is... Little man.¡±
¡°Earth... How warm and beautiful... Light...¡±
All I have to do is show it to you. To Sadiz and the Princess... And......
¡°To you too, Rebal!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
The body is lighter than before, full of power, it¡¯s hot, buzzing and even thoughts are faster.
¡ºDo not forget? Ny seconds, right?¡»
¡°10 seconds!!¡±
And I don¡¯t think I¡¯m going to stop anymore!
¡°Soraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡±
Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left! Left!
¡°Oh, oh!?¡±
It is different from the flicker from before, that just frustrates the opponent.
Resonate to the opponent¡¯s core. A method to hit without dispersing the impact, by sustainably hitting a single spot again and again.
¡°What, what!? Now, Earth started hitting again!¡±
¡°That¡¯s, just a left punch, Rebal can¡¯t escape!¡±
¡°What, what is it? When I thought that a weird light had wrapped Earth...¡±
¡°He¡¯s much faster than before... I mean, the attack is too fast to see!¡±
It¡¯s not the left to punch.
¡°Gu, can¡¯t avoid it... impossible! ...... I¡¯m in the God Concentration.... me!?¡±
If anything, I¡¯ll beat you with this one left!
Thoroughly.
¡°Th-This is Earth? Earth had this power....¡±
¡°It¡¯s fast... and the left fist is prating! In that case, Rebal can¡¯t prevent damage even if he guards.¡±
¡°It¡¯s like a hammer with the sharpness of a spear... This is...... Earth¡¯s real power?¡±
Yes, look more, Dad, Mom!
¡°I don¡¯t know... the Earth that I¡¯ve fought so far.... what¡¯s going on? What the hell is going on?¡±
¡°It¡¯s too strong... I thought we were strong and came back.... I can¡¯t believe that Earth was so strong.¡±
The princess, Fu...
¡°Little... man...¡±
Sadiz, watch me more!
¡°Ruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
¡°Gu, u, guu!?¡±
The sensation that remains in the fist. The sound of the bones as they are broken.
My heart is slightly shaken while continuing to beat my childhood friend¡¯s face as he cannot react to anything. But Rebal, also...
¡°Ku, gu, u... Uoooooooooooooooh!!!!¡±
Yes, Rebal¡¯s eyes aren¡¯t dead yet.
Verve. Yell. Swordsmanship. Fighting spirit. With all his mind, Rival howls.
That¡¯s not for show.
The more he tries to blow me away, the more the air ripples, and cracks run into the walls of the arena.
¡°Hey, you¡¯re still good!¡±
¡°Haa, ha... Strong...... no way..... I didn¡¯t think you would be this strong.... But I won¡¯t lose! You¡¯re going to lose! In this first round... I will draw on all my strength, I won¡¯t lose!¡±
Rebal is also trying to do everything.
¡º...... Hey, child... tis a blow of a sword that spreads widely. Even if you avoid the de, will you not be blown away by the shockwave that follows? If that is the theory... best to keep a certain distance and avoid it....¡»
Tre¡¯ainar muttered, but I knew without being told.
¡°Can you handle this? Earth! It brought down a fire dragon, earned me the title of Dragon yer, my strongest sword!¡±
Rebal denies me with all his might. It¡¯s the power for that.
Then......
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m not here to lose, either. In any form, no matter what anyone says... This is who I am now! So I¡¯ll respond too!¡±
To break through from the front
To do so, even in this breakthrough mode, it may be a little touchy with the ¡¾Fang of Heavenly Light ? Meteor sh Screw Attack¡¿.
If that is the case...... I can only use ¡®That¡¯!
Chapter 41 – Jumping in
Chapter 41 ¨C Jumping in
Tranted by: Sads07
Use that.
Two months ago, I didn¡¯t think I would be able to use it because it was far beyond my imagination.
But now I¡¯m excited about the real thing.
I feel like I can do it now.
No, I was confident that I could.
-How long will it take for me to be able to use that technique?
-It consumesrge amounts of magical power. The destructive potential is immense, and tis a favorite technique of mine, but.... Difficult to apply in some spaces due to the excessive size, and to be honest tis not suitable forbat.
¨C Eh? Really?
¨C Yes. In fact, I did not use it in the ¡°battle¡± with Hiro and the heroes. To learn...... Well, might take about six months.
But what if the opponent attacks from the front with all his might?
Isn¡¯t it easy to hit?
And, it will have excellent destructive power if you can hit it.
If it¡¯s now...
¡ºHey, child! You... wha!¡»
¡¸Huh, a little bit... I wanted to mess up your calctions too.... Six months? I¡¯m mastering it now!¡¹
¡ºEh!?¡»
Now is the time.
¡°Blow off, Earth! This is my...¡±
Just fly high into the sky and then swing the sword down.
Simply and but powerful.
When Rebales in with everything in one swing, I¡¯m...
¡°You get blown away! I¡¯ll tell you! Who¡¯s here! Earth Lagann is here!¡±
I dare to break it from the front, too.
¡°Dense and sharpened, the magical power that overflows as steam... Focused... Intes! Hardens! And if you can afford it, give it shape, and if you can afford it, make it spin! That¡¯s it!¡±
I shout out the phrase that Tre¡¯ainar taught me, word for word, and make a spiral in my right arm.
The spiral may be different in size and density from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s demonstration.
However, this isn¡¯t just an imitation of his skill.
¡°This is... meeeeee!!¡±
¡ºHoh...¡»
To create a new path for myself...
¡°... Ah ... that is ... that, the spiraling technique with a sharp pointed tip ... sure?¡±
¡°Uh, no ... no way ... seventeen years ago!? It destroyed the magical city. Heh!?¡±
My......
¡°Li...ttle... ma... a...... aah¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C¡°
I put my serious feelings into it....
¡°Howl and push forward, my full power!!¡±
And, in this regard, the skill name will be inherited without the master¡¯s permission!
It¡¯s a strange naming sense, and I don¡¯t know why he put it in twice.
However, it is...
¡°¡¾Dragon Rending Sky Thrust¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral ? Earth Spiral Break¡¿!!¡±
New, I¡¯m myself!
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Now fly, Rebaaaaaaaaal!!!¡±
I leap head-on at Rebal with a violent spiral.
A dazzling sh.
¡°Ooooooooh, Gooooooooo!!¡±
At this moment, I¡¯m already certain.
With this power, even with Rebal¡¯s full powered swing from the front....
¡°¡¾Giga Thunder Rush¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Vermilion Full Moon Sword¡¿!¡±
It was then.
¡°Eh eh¡±
Just as Rebal and I were about to collide head-on, an impact with enough force to negate our skills breaks in at the speed of light.
¡°...... Father...... Mother?¡±
That¡¯s because my father, who drew his sword out, and my mother, who had a halberd, changed expressions, and at the same time I...
¡°Earth... you...... You!¡±
¡°You... Why......!¡±
It was so sudden that neither I nor Rebal knew what had happened for a moment.
¡°What... And?¡±
Did my father and mother break into our fight?
And there¡¯s no praising me for my strength, or for my hard work, or anything like that.
It¡¯s like they are turning to me, their real son, for the first time. Why are you looking at me like that?
Why? Why did my father and mother get in the way?
¡°What... Why are you interrupting, Father? Mother! The hell...¡±
I wanted to surprise my father and mother.
As a result, they were surprised.
However, I did not think I would be seen with such eyes.
¡°...... Earth...... you...... where...... how and who... did you learn that kind of skill from?¡±
¡°Where...¡±
¡°The technique is....¡±
This technique...... I was taught by the ghost of the Great Demon King that my father had defeated. That¡¯s the truth.
¡°Wait, Hiro!¡±
But before I said anything, my mother took over.
¡°Here... Is Rebal okay?¡±
¡°Eh... Yes, yes...... But, the heck is this...¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Rebal. But I¡¯m sorry. This fight is over.¡±
Not only me, but Rebal, who suddenly joined in, is confused.
No, we¡¯re not the only ones.
¡°Sir Hiro... Mamu...¡±
¡°What the hell... What¡¯s going on?¡±
Princess and Fu,
¡°Hey, what is it? It¡¯s The Great Hero, Hiro!¡±
¡°And there¡¯s Mamu, too?¡±
¡°What happened?! Why did they interfere!?¡±
On the contrary, the crowd is buzzing with confusion.
My father and mother showed up in front of us with a tense expression.
And my father...
¡°Lingaun. Due to various circumstances, this match is done. Earth will withdraw.¡±
¡°Eh, A...... Are you sure?¡±
¡°Ah, and we¡¯ll take Earth with us as it is. Keep the tournament going.¡±
Heh!? What!? Withdraw!?
No...... with how much I put in for thest two months, to just exit this tournament? Don¡¯t be silly!
¡°Hey, wait a minute, Dad! Why are you doing this? Why would you have me withdraw?¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
At that moment, my father¡¯s overwhelming pressure ran through my whole body, and I lost my words involuntarily.
This...... My father¡¯s...
¡°Earth. If you had used that technique... I¡¯m sure Rebal wouldn¡¯t have walked away from it.¡±
¡°............¡±
¡°Such a technique... that¡¯s... it¡¯s not a skill used by warriors!¡±
I can¡¯t say anything to my father.... he has a sad.... painful expression.
It¡¯s not just my father. My mother, at me... far from disappointment. Just sad.
And......
¡°A... A, ah... Oh... that was...... once...... My home... why? Little man...... Lit... tle...... man...¡±
Sadiz? Why? I was interrupted on the way, but you were watching, weren¡¯t you? Where I got stronger?
But what¡¯s that face! Why, so much... I¡¯ve never seen it before.... she always has a mean face, but she¡¯s kind, and Sadiz was.... such a frightened face.
¡°I, N, N...Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ¡¡Father! ¡¡Mother! ¡¡NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t! Father! Mother! Demon King killed, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, everyone! Killed by the Great Demon King!!¡±
And Sadiz went mad while holding her head...
¡°Sadiz! It¡¯s... Hiro, please, here! I¡¯m with Sadiz!¡±
¡°...... Ooooh.¡±
Mother rushes up to Sadiz who goes mad with screams.
Why? Why......
¡º...... It cannot be...¡»
Hey? Tre¡¯ainar, what do you mean? What is ¡®It cannot be¡¯......
¡°N-no doubt... That power...¡±
It was then.
Suddenly screaming, Sadiz¡¯s frightened voice resounded in the audience seats.
It¡¯s like a little child crying.
And that voice......
¡°Why is that? Why? The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, the Master... Big sister Mamu overthrew him... Why can you use the power of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±EH!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°My family... The house... fell all over everyone..... No, no... Nooooooooooooo!¡±
It reached everyone.
And my first love cries with a broken heart...
¡ºOh, it cannot be... a survivor of that city... and in that ce... were Hiro and Mamu there as well...?¡»
For the first time, Tre¡¯ainar was crushed with a sour faced expression, and I had no choice but to panic.

He was so bewildered he couldn¡¯t express his words well, but he tells me with a sad expression.
¡°That technique is¡ it once¡¡ destroyed Sadiz¡¯s hometown¡. it was used to kill Sadiz¡¯s parents¡.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°As we were rushing to the scene, a huge spiral rising into the heavens¡ eh ¡. It¡¯s¡ that was the technique that the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar showed.¡±
It wasn¡¯t just my father. To my mother, I¡¯m¡ far from disappointing. I¡¯m sad.
I¡¡ I used that technique, so¡
¡°Anyway,e. Tell me all about how you got this stuff¡. what were you doing without your father or mother¡¯s knowledge?¡±
Saying that, my father grabbed my wrist tightly and tried to take me away with him.
Wait a minute¡ my match¡ you watched me, didn¡¯t you? Father, I¡
¡°Father!¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°How, how was I? I got stronger¡. I, I¡¯m much, I got much¡¡±
It¡¯s true that technique wasn¡¯t a good one for my father.
I didn¡¯t know. About Sadiz.
But I did my best.
A lot of sweat, endured severe pain, and I rose to the challenge today.
So it¡¯s okay to just say one word.
Father, to me¨C
¡°Idiot!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
¡°What got stronger¡ if you want to be strong, is anything eptable?¡±
¡°¡¡ What? No, what ¡.¡±
Oh¡ I see¡ So that was it¡¡
¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Is it true that the technique he just used was the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s?¡±
¡°Idiot, why would the son of a hero use the Demon King¡¯s skill!¡±
¡°If that¡¯s the case¡ it¡¯s a shame!¡±
¡°You have no pride as a son of a hero!¡±
¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that funny in the first ce? That failure of a son was so strong¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. No matter how much, I thought it was funny when he was overpowering that Rebal!¡±
¡°Oh, maybe he got his hands on some vile power!¡±
¡°What? That kind of¡¡ such a guy is the son of a hero¡. and you¡¯re trying to be a warrior!?¡± [1]
Fifteen years¡ I¡¯ve been in this country¡. didn¡¯t I realize that simple thing until today¡
¡°So what, don¡¯t mess with me!!¡±
I was screaming before I knew it.
¡°Oh, Earth! Hey, juste quietly now!¡±
Father grabs my wrist and tries to take me in.
However, I could not agree to that.
As if I would be taken in like this, so I waved off my father¡¯s hand.
¡°Tell me everything? What? Like there¡¯s anything left to say now? When you finally looked at me, you¡¯re looking with such eyes ¡. if my father and mother looked at me better, they¡¯d understand! If you two actually looked at me¡. what I bumped into, struggled with, agonized over¡ if the world hadn¡¯t imposed a convenient title on me¡ it would have been things like that!¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°So, what¡¯s wrong with me right now? I didn¡¯t cheat, I didn¡¯t have a hand in anything suspicious! I trained and studied, I fought with my own strength! Only to have you have to look at me like that! I hit a wall, and I didn¡¯t know for a long time that everyone says the second generation is a lost cause, or that we¡¯re not enough. Even though I finally got here¡ Why!¡±
I didn¡¯t know what I was talking about from there.
¡°The war ended before I was born¡ don¡¯t drag my generation along, push us forward!¡±
I couldn¡¯t calm down, and I put into words everything I had emotionally bottled up.
Because I already know¡
¡°Now I understand. This country¡¡ including my father¡ me¡ no one cared about Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Earth! What are you ¡?¡±
¡°What you were interested in is the son of an ideal hero who is convenient for you¡. as for me¡¡ Earth Lagann¡¡ I didn¡¯t matter.¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
Yes, the wish I¡¯ve had until today, to make everyone recognize me as ¡®Earth Lagann¡¯ instead of ¡®Son of the Hero¡¯.
That was impossible from the beginning.
Because the world is not interested in Earth Lagann.
¡°N-No! You¡¯re wrong, Earth! Calm down! Your dad and mom don¡¯t think that at all!¡±
My father, who changed his expression, grabs both my shoulders and shouts.
But the words couldn¡¯t reach my heart anymore.
¡°Your father, your mother, and Sadiz love you from the bottom of our hearts! Believe me! We¡¯re a family!¡±
Family. Yes, even though we¡¯re family¡
¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m worried about you! I¡¯m not doing this because you¡¯re not good enough! If you¡ If you¡¯re involved with rtives of Tre¡¯ainar or the remnants of the Demon Army¡¡±
I know.
¡°¡¡ I already¡ okay.
¡°Earth?¡±
My father is right.
¡°Anyhow¡ I can¡¯t believe you said that.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
My father is a hero.
The hero who protected the world cannot overlook me using the technique of the demon that was the nemesis of mankind.
But¡¡
¨C What got stronger¡ if you want to be strong, is anything eptable?
Words of my father ¡.
¨D As expected, he¡¯s the son of a hero!
Words of the world¡
¨C Show it to everyone! Go, Earth!!
Words of Tre¡¯ainar, who lit my heart on fire and pushed my back¡ for all this time¡¡ However, because Tre¡¯ainar is the Great Demon King, that power will not be recognized no matter what.
¡°If I knew it would be this hard¡ I would not want to be born as a hero¡¯s child¡ Father¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
At that time, my father¡ What my father looked like¡ I couldn¡¯t see it anymore.
¡°Let go¡¡±
¡°Earth¡ Gu!?¡±
I just shook off his clinging hand and put thest blow to my defenseless father¡¯s face.
It was either what I said, or that he was surprised at being attacked, that my fist connected with my father¡¯s face, which would usually not happen.
The face of my father, who I hit for the first time in my life.
Rather than being refreshed, I just felt worse.
¡°Hiro!? Earth¡¡ wait, Earth! Please, calm down!¡±
My mother, who was taking care of Sadiz, cried in tears.
But as if to drown out that cry¡¡
¡°Hey, that guy! He hit Hiro!?!?¡±
¡°Stupid, to hit your own parent¡ What a guy!¡±
¡°Fallen to the point he would sink so low!¡±
¡°Domestic violence?! I can¡¯t stand it anymore!¡±
¡°Somebody, get that trash!¡±
Again¡I heard a terrible noise¡
¡°Ah, Earth! What¡ Sir Hiro¡ Anyway, now¡¡±
¡°Shut it, Rebal. You¡¯re not involved¡¡ just leave it.¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
Nothing mattered anymore.
¡º¡¡ Calm yourself¡¡ child. ¡¡ Not yet¡¡ you may still return. Besides, I am at fault in this.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar, what are you talking about? Return? Where?
¡ºWhat was today for? Do you truly intend to throw everything away here, you cannot get it all back if you do, can you?¡»
¡°What¡¡±
¡ºReveal everything about me to the world. They may not believe it at first, but¡ I will tell you all that I know, what only Hiro would know. Reveal that, perhaps they may yet believe in the existence of ghosts.¡» [2]
Really, you¡ it¡¯s fine¡¡ ha ha¡¡ At such a time, you were the only one who gave a little warmth to my heart.
But¡¡ It¡¯s okay.
¡°It¡¯s okay¡ I already¡ I don¡¯t need to go back.¡±
¡ºChild!¡»
Feeling a little guilty, Tre¡¯ainar tries to sway me, but that¡¯s enough.
Thank you, Tre¡¯ainar. And I¡¯m sorry for ruining it.
¡°Hey¡ Earth? What¡¡ What are you talking about? Talking to yourself¡. who are you talking to?¡±
Without answering my bewildered father¡¯s question, I turned to Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°You are at fault? Why would you say that? What¡¯s wrong with me being your disciple?¡±
¡ºHeh!?¡»
Yes, I told him how I felt.
¡°Hey¡ I can¡¯t stand it anymore! What the hell is going on? Earth, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Hold on, princess! Ah¡ enough!¡±
Herees the outfield to intervene further.
The princess starts running in an angry state followed Fu.
¡°Earth, what are you doing? And why did you hit Lord Hiro? What is the technique of the Great Demon King? Calm down, exin it from the beginning and convince us!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Earth. As it is, even if it¡¯s self-abandonment, will anything be gained? Everyone¡¯s anger will be directed at Earth.¡±
Exin it. From the princess¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s natural to exin everything about my ability because she knows them the most in a sense.
Fu, I guess he¡¯s genuinely worried to be saying that.
But the words that came out of my mouth¡
¡°Enough¡ I don¡¯t care¡.
Reckless, such an irresponsible way to speak.
¡°¡®I don¡¯t care.¡¯ Don¡¯t be silly, Earth! It doesn¡¯t matter¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±
¡°Eh, ah¡¡±
Yes, it doesn¡¯t matter. That¡¯s why I brushed aside the princess¡¯s hand as she reached out.
As a result¡¡
¡°He pushed away the princess!¡±
¡°Have you fallen that far!¡±
¡°To raise your hand to a woman, the lowest!¡±
¡°Kick him out of school, that guy right now!¡±
¡°Warrior disqualification!¡±
¡°Permanent expulsion from the warrior world!¡± [3]
Oh, I know. I knew this was going to happen.
¡°Eh, be quiet! Everyone calm down!¡±
His Majesty also tries to calm everyone down, but his voice is drowned out.
Well, that¡¯s enough.
¡°Gu, everyone¡ hey, Earth. Let¡¯s talkter,e with your father now and¡¡±
¡°Dad¡ enough¡ it¡¯s okay.¡±
My father rushes to take me away to protect me from unstoppable jeers and things being thrown.
But I¡¯ve already refused that hand.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Father, I¡¯m just¡ just once¡ my dad¡ everyone¡ not as a son of a hero. I just wanted you to praise me¡. that¡¯s all¡.¡±
¡°Heh!? Earth¡¡ wait¡¡ why such a thing¡. don¡¯t just say ¡®that¡¯s all¡¯. Your dad is¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Sorry¡¡ I couldn¡¯t be the son of a perfect ideal hero ¡ I¡¯m sorry¡.¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Mother¡ Sorry¡¡ Sadiz¡¡ I¡¯m just annoying¡. I¡¯m sorry¡.¡±
From that point on, I lost myself.
¡°Wait, Earth¡!? Hey, wait, Earth! Where are you going?¡±
However, because I was surrounded by everyone, I summoned the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿ in my right hand, and I dug underground.
¡°Eaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!!¡±
Using all the magic I had left, shocking my father before me, I ran away.
Run away, run away, just run away.
I jumped out of the ground when I ran out of magic power.
After passing through the Imperial City gate, I ran out of the Imperial City alone for the first time.
Because of what was overflowing from my eyes, I couldn¡¯t see in front of me.
Even if I try to shake it off, it will overflow.
¨C Me, in the future¡ Be a hero like my father!
¨C That¡¯s it! Oh. If it¡¯s Earth, you can be a Great Hero!
Damn it¡¡
¨C Mother¡ you¡¯rete today too¡
¨C Earth¡¡ Yes, today was my day off too! It¡¯s okay to be mad! Today I¡¯m going to make anything you like, for Earth!
Damn it¡¡
¨C Sadiz¡¡ Are you leaving?
¨C No, I¡¯m not going anywhere, am I? I¡¯ll always be with Lil¡¯ Earth.
Damn it!
¡°Uh, uuuh, uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!, aaaaaaaaaaah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ¡ª¨C¡°
No one was there anymore, I ran all the way to the meadows where no one was around, and finally I cried.
I cried so much that I couldn¡¯t even know how many years I had been there.
[S1] I guess this is the straw that broke Earth¡¯s Patience!!
[S2] Seriously man! Tre¡¯ainar with dem feels!!!
[S3] What did these people think would happen if these 2 meet in a tournament bracket? A tickle contest? It¡¯d definitely be worse than just brushing her hand away! Hypocrites!!!
Chapter 43 – The World
Chapter 43 ¨C The World
Tranted by: Sads07
I yelled, screamed, and threw myself all over the ce.
Running around I repeatedly kicked stones, struck the ground, and hit my head against the trees.
Anger, sadness, and so on just getting tangled up, I just kept crying.
But I can¡¯t do that forever.
¡°Ha~¡ ha~ah¡¡ Damn it¡¡ a~, damn¡¡±
I cried so much I couldn¡¯t even feel hunger, all the same I was worn out.
It was already night.
I left the Imperial City and ran around like crazy, so I don¡¯t even know which way the city is.
Is this the first time in my life I¡¯m sleeping outdoors?
Besides, I left with just my clothes, so I don¡¯t have any money, what¡¯s going to happen to me?
But¡¡ as it is¡¡
¡°Haha¡ shit¡¡ damn it¡¡±
I never knew. There are so many stars.
As Iy upon the meadow with my arms stretched out, I could see the myriad of stars shining in the night sky.
I knew for the first time that I had always slept regrly indoors at night.
¡º¡¡ Atst¡¡ have you calmed down a little?¡»
There was Tre¡¯ainar, right beside me.
It seems that Tre¡¯ainar left me alone until I stopped crying.
¡°Well¡ I¡¯m beat, but¡¡±
The tears stopped. However, the fatigue came out suddenly.
And, when I feel tired and feel depressed, something is likely toe up again.
Yes, I¡¯m today¡ father and¡ my mother¡ and now with everyone¡
¡ºIf you are calm, return to the Imperial City and talk to your parents. Are you anxious?¡»
Maybe so.
When I get back now, at least my father¡ my father and mother would have a lot to say to me, but I felt like they would wee me.
But, with what I¡¯ll face should I go back, enough, I don¡¯t want to go home, I felt I couldn¡¯t go home.
¡°I can¡¯t¡ already¡¡±
¡ºYes, tis¡ I do not believe¡.¡»
¡°No¡ I can¡¯t¡ everyone hates me¡. my father and my mother¡ Sadiz, too¡. even though I didn¡¯t know¡ I hurt her¡¡±
¡ºYou are his only son. There is no reason not to love you. However, they may be renowned as hero and heroine, but they were justcking as parents¡. do not give up on them¡. as an adult, you forgive¡ that is also an option¡. That maid and¡ ¡»
¡°But¡ I can¡¯t.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar may be right, but my heart still couldn¡¯t choose it.
In the first ce, I threw away everything close to me and ran.
¡°Me, Sadiz¡. and¡¡ surprisingly¡¡ more than I thought, my father and mother¡ maybe I liked it.¡±
¡º¡¡¡ Tis so¡ ¡»
¡°So¡ feared by Sadiz¡¡ my father and mother looking at me like that¡ then I said all that¡. I already¡ I can¡¯t.¡±
I can¡¯t face those eyes anymore.
I¡¯m scared of it.
That¡¯s why I ran away.
¡º¡¡ Do you hate me?¡»
¡°What? ¡¡ Why?¡±
At that moment, I was suddenly awakened by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s unexpected words.
¡ºAt the very least, had I not deemed to demonstrate that technique to you¡ none of this would havee to pass, would it not?¡»
I couldn¡¯t say anything to Tre¡¯ainar, who looked me in the eye and told me straight.
No way, to think he felt guilty here¡.
¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m the one who finally learned from you¡. I mean¡ If you think calmly, I used the technique of the Great Demon King, I should have known that my father, mother, and everyone would make a big fuss. Yet I¡¡ I was so excited about getting stronger day by day that I didn¡¯t even consider it.¡±
Certainly, none of this would have happened is I wasn¡¯t trained by Tre¡¯ainar.
But then, with how I spent these two months, if asked ¡®Would it be better if I didn¡¯t?¡¯, I would absolutely disagree.
¡º¡¡ I see¡¡»
However many people he had killed as the Great Demon King, I don¡¯t know him at that time.
In the first ce, I don¡¯t know about the era.
So maybe I didn¡¯t understand ites with a payoff.
Father, mother, Sadiz, and the world¡¯s feelings for the Great Demon King.
The Tre¡¯ainar I know is a pretty sore loser, with a terrible naming sense, decent mood, and a good sense of humanity.
¡ºWell,¡ what will you do now? Leave your home¡.¡»
¡°Now¡ I¡¯m not thinking about anything¡ just¡¡ I just ran¡¡±
Yes, I¡¯m not thinking about anything.
I just ran away.
But I don¡¯t want to go back.
No, I can¡¯t go back anymore.
I threw it all away, so¡
Also¡¡
¡°There¡¯s no point in going back anymore¡ I wonder what it was¡. my life so far¡ no one looked at me.¡±
Saying that, as Iy down in the meadow again, I looked up at the sky.
Looking at the enormous breathtaking night sky, I was sick of everything.
¡ºHey, child¡¡»
¡°What?¡±
¡ºA little¡¡ listen to me.¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar sat next to me, his eyes looking far away.
¡ºThings may seem inconceivable, but so long as you still live, there are many different routes to take¡. you are young.¡»
¡°Ah.¡±
¡ºBut unfortunately, whatever your path, it may be impossible to earn a reputation other than ¡®son of a hero¡¯, by normal means.¡»
¡°Eh!!??¡±
Talk about throwing salt to a wound.
Although it was already obvious, it was a severe remark.
¡ºIt may be abominable to you, but the name of ¡®Hiro, the Great Hero Who Defeated the Great Demon King¡¯ is bigger than I could have imagined¡. as such, no matter how grand your performance in that match, the only evaluation from the masses would be ¡®as expected, he is the son of a hero¡¯.¡»
I know. I heard those words many times during the match.
That¡¯s how it¡¯s been thest fifteen years.
¡°Then, it was impossible from the beginning¡ why do you look at me, not as I am, but as a hero¡¯s son.¡±
It was impossible after all. The reality hit pretty hard.
And now, ¡®Using the technique of the Great Demon King¡¯ or ¡®Warrior disqualification¡¯, I¡¯ve fallen further.
Well, even if I didn¡¯t put in any effort from the beginning¡¡
¡ºBut there is only one¡ a way to make them recognize you as Earth Lagann, not as the son of a hero.¡»
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
It was impossible to do anything from the beginning¡. the conclusion I expected, there was an unexpected phrase.
¡°H-Hey, you¡¯re not going to tell me to be a Demon King and raise my infamy, are you?¡±
¡ºWrong. In general, the only thing that resonates with notoriety is the evaluation that ¡®the son of the hero was the worst after all¡¯. Still, if you are fine with it, you can beat the people speaking ill of you, that is a different story.¡»
¡°That¡¯s just¡¡±
¡ºRather, do not equate the Demon King with infamy! Tis the same narrow-minded outlook of the masses, attachingbels like dark and evil to demons while opting light and justice for themselves¡. Well, not that it matters much to me¡¡»
¡°Ah¡ I see¡ I¡¯m sorry,.. I didn¡¯t mean¡¡±
¡ºOh, tis fine. Anyway, what I want to say is¡ Oh~, what to do¡¡»
I get up again and face Tre¡¯ainar.
Is there only one way to do something that should not be possible?
What is it?
The story seemed to deviate a bit, but I corrected it and Tre¡¯ainar spoke to me in a calm tone.
¡ºFor example, child. I once¡ unified hundreds of countries and tribes¡. managed them¡¡ led them to fight against the human race. Not only the war, but also troublesome politics and coordination, such hectic days¡ but everything functioned.¡»
It¡¯s an old story of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s that I¡¯ve never heard of before.
¡ºYes, I was a supreme being, and I was beyond descriptors such as a genius. From childhood, magic, wisdom, andbat ability were all called ¡®the strongest in history¡¯¡¡ Well, I lost to your father. With a cowardly hand. An obscene hand. I mentioned it twice because tis important.¡»
¡°Hey¡¡±
¡ºAnd here I shall ask you one question¡¡»
At first, I thought he was proud, but he suddenly looked serious.
And say to me.
That is¡¡
¡ºWho was the strongest in history before I was called the strongest¡ Do you understand?¡»
¡°¡¡ Huh? ¡¡ Come on, well¡ I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡ºMy point. Naturally. Most likely, even amongst the demons tis not known. The one who was the strongest before me.¡»
What¡¯s the story leading to? I don¡¯t know anything, so I just shut up and listen¡
¡ºIn other words, no matter how many people have made a name before, if more appear, people¡¯s consciousness will be renewed even if they do not mean it to. Tis how things go.¡»
¡°Renew¡?¡±
¡ºYes, a renewal!¡± Child!¡»
With that said, Tre¡¯ainar stood up with powerful words.
¡ºIf you want to break away from being the son of a hero and still be recognized as your own existence¡ You take your father ¡®s feat , the defeat of the Great Demon King¡ and achieve one a far greater.¡»
¡°Eh.¡±
¡ºDo that, and not only the Empire, but the world will recognize Earth Lagann!¡»
It was, as I was to say, a story of an indescribablyrge scale.
I couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°A feat beyond my father¡ Ha ha¡¡ What¡¯s that? What could it be?¡±
¡ºDo you know of such a thing? I know nothing of the world as it is today, and I do not know if such a feat exists in the world after the war ended. But unless you do that¡ Earth Lagann will remain the son of the hero who ran away from home.¡»
And from there, I don¡¯t know Tre¡¯ainar.
Then what is there?
What is the feat that exceeds my father who defeated the Great Demon King and saved the human race?
¡ºStill, I do not know what it may be. But the answer is not in the Empire. This leaves no choice but to go through thends where your father¡¯s influence does not reach, to push forward to find something, to ovee numerous trials with your fists, to see many things, to learn many things, and to do ¡®something¡¯ at the end. Something to surpass your father!¡»
A feat that exceeds the legend that defeated the Great Demon King, that not even the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar knows of.
I don¡¯t know what it is, but if I do it¡
¡ºAim for the World, Earth!¡»
That¡¯s how Tre¡¯ainar showed me the guiding principle on which to proceed, even though he didn¡¯t know the answer.
¡°Surpass¡ father¡¡±
¡ºIf you cannot do that and still want to dispose of your detractors¡ Well, I have neither reason nor duty to stop you, but¡¡»
¡°But¡ It¡¯ll be me.¡±
¡ºWell, decide what you like. You are still alive, unlike me. So long as you do not return home, you must decide on your own future.¡»
Don¡¯t aim for my father. Surpass my father.
That¡¯s the only way to get acknowledged.
¡°Surpass him¡ I¡¯ve never thought about that.¡±
When I was a kid, I said, ¡®I¡¯m going to be a hero like my father¡¯, but I also said, ¡®I¡¯m going to be more than my father¡¯. No¡¡
¡°No¡There was, that time.¡±
¡ºHmm? ¡»
No, when I was a kid, I said it without thinking.
¨C Fu is the best wizard in the world! Rebal is the best swordsman in the world! Phianse is the best spearmaster in the world! And I¡¯m going to be the strongest ultra hero in the world, better than my father!
So, a childish dream, and in a sense the origin.
I already knew the answer.
¡°Haha¡¡ no way¡. this¡¡ to think I would ever remember this¡¡±
Iughed at the mere recollection.
At that time, it was a pure child¡¯s dream that said out loud without thinking deeply about it.
However, I gradually lost my confidence and stopped speaking.
To think I would remember it in this way and be able to do it.
¡°Okay¡ bring it on.¡±
Suddenly I noticed it, something was boiling up from deep within me.
A feeling that fired me up.
¡°I¡¯m not an ultra hero, but¡but still¡ let¡¯s be ¡®something¡¯ that surpasses my father!!¡±
Easy to simply say I¡¯ll surpass him, but there are many aspects.
Strength, fame, achievements.
But, we don¡¯t yet know what to surpass.
So then, cross the world in search of that ¡®something¡¯.
Aim for the world.
¡°Oh, oooh¡uooooooooooooooooh!! What Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!!! Look out world!! You son of a Bitch!! uooooooooooooooooh!!¡±
To the world, in the sky, to the stars, I screamed.
I¡¯m not dead yet.
Earth Lagann is still here.
As I yelled, my eyes began to tear up a little. Enough already, I rather howl out my feelings with all my might.
¡ºHuh, seems you have reverted a little bit of yourself. Such a simple fellow. But tis fine. The defeated is beaten down, and stays prone forever, never to rise back up. So¡¡ you have not lost yet. Well, a tad of a crybaby, but¡ for today I witnessed no such thing.¡»
¡°nder. But¡¡ Thank you, Tre¡¯ainar. You¡¯re alright¡¡±
¡ºNnh, d-do not be mistaken. I desire to see the rest of the world, tis simply more convenient. Tis not for your sake! ¡»
¡°Hahahahaha, what¡¯s that~?¡±
Oh, I¡¯m simple.
This was the worst day in my life, yet I¡¯m about to rise back up.
That¡¯s all there is to it¡
¡ºWell, anyway¡ shall we proceed?¡»
¡°Oh, let¡¯s go.¡±
No matter what the Great Demon King is to my father, no matter what happened in the past, it won¡¯t change anything.
I cross the world with this guy.

Author¡¯s Notes
Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for yourpany so far.
I was finally able to write this far.
At first, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d get anyments or drills.
Many people were able to react to my stories, including pros and cons.
I am very grateful as a writer.
However, I did not think that the discussion would spread so much on one theme of ¡®parent-child issue¡¯, but I was made to think that ¡®I see, there is such an idea¡¯ in each opinion.
Also, from thest despair to the time you stand up, is it too early? This time you might think.
To be honest, I could have written a period of despair for a while, but I read ¡®Dare Royal¡¯s Letter¡¯ and decided to do this. If you have never read it, please read it.
And let me apologize. I couldn¡¯t reply to everyone this time because of the amount of impressions I had.
I¡¯ll do my best to stay up all night on Friday, Saturday and Sunday weekend, so please update it first this time.
I¡¯m sorry.
And, it was a short time until today, but thank you for reading. Thank you for the next story.
It¡¯s not thest episode. It¡¯s going tost a little longer.
Volume 1, Extra Chapter– What the Child Didn’t Know
Volume 1, Extra Chapter¨C What the Child Didn¡¯t Know
Tranted by: Sads07
To me, the child was merely the offspring of Hiro and Mamu.
On the asion I first ¡®saw¡¯ him¡ nheless.
©¤ How about it, Earth? Amazing, isn¡¯t it? This is the sword of the hero that your dad used!
©¤ Wow, awesome!Dad, can I use it someday?
©¤ Sure you can. Oh, you¡¯re your father and mother¡¯s son.
Having lived for thousands of years, I believed the days and months that make up these ten years would prove to be insignificant.
However, the flow of time I felt after having died and became a mere spiritual existence was ridiculously long.
No one could recognize my existence. No one could see me. No one can hear my voice.
My former nemeses, the heroes, were no exception.
As a spirit, I possessed the Sword of the Hero, Hiro, which was then sealed within the armory of his mansion and left alone for years in a narrow, dark space with no opportunity to see the outside world since.
I had nothing to do.
There was no change in the days I spent.
Only on the asions when the maid woulde to clean up, or Hiro and young children visited the arsenal to boast of days past.
An eternal prison for the soul that cannot bepletely eliminated and extinguished.
If those days were the punishment due to the defeated, it was quite cruel.
So, child. You do not know.
©¤ No, who are you!! Why are you here?
The day we first met.
You recognized my existence, raised your voice to me, and were able to hold a conversation with me.
How I was saved by your existence, which destroyed the days I thought would be of eternal solitude?
©¤ I am The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ who once sought to conquer the world, but was in by your father and hispanions.
For the first time in 15 years, I mentioned my name. You responded to the name. However, it gave me so much joy.
That was not all. Surprisingly, I was able to possess you through the sword.
By possessing you, I can see the outside world again.
How much was it worth to me?
Child. You do not know.
©¤ Rather, I am weary of the days spent in captivity this past decade. I¡¯d like to see a bit of the world after my demise. Child, go out to the city.
In order not to be taken lightly, I employed quite the pompous tone and expressed much dignity, but in truth my heart was racing.
©¤ Sigh, can¡¯t be helped. Fine. I¡¯ll take a walk before dinner.
And, because you uttered those words, I got so excited I forgot all else and jumped for joy.
At that time, you were so astounded your eyes shrunk to dots, but I was so happy.
I viewed the outside world for the first time in 15 years. It was nothing strange, simply the ordinary life of the peaceful imbecilic people in the Imperial Capital.
The peaceful world of humans that Hiro gained by defeating me.
Honestly, none of it mattered to me.
I just gained ess to the outside world again.
I witnessed people living their daily lives that day. And the sunset as it began to sink.
As I watched the scenery, it seemed something unexpectedly got into my eyes, but I dare not show it to the child, so I desperately focused on my eyes.
The child must have misunderstood something, as his expression seemed a little frightened.
I was a little relieved to be able to preserve the dignity of the Great Demon King, at least for a while longer.
©¤ Hmm? Child. The books that are stacked in the bookstore over there¡¡ There¡¯s also some promotion, but¡
©¤ What? Oh. ¡®Destiny Grand Order¡¯ released today¡.
That would be a foul. The sequel to a novel that I read on a whim on the pretext of ¡®Knowing more about human culture would prove useful for something¡¯ and unconsciously, I liked it.
For sure, I want to see it.
When I realized it, I had forgotten myself and asked the child to procure the book.
©¤ Haha!?¡± Why me!? Also, how will you read even if I bought it! You can¡¯t touch books.
©¤ You can turn the pages! Do not mock me!
©¤ Th-that¡¯s mean¡
©¤ Aah, okay already. I¡¯ll buy it for you.
©¤ A worthy cause!
Now that I think about it, I was negligent. I lost allposure, dignity be damned.
Rather, either the child was simply stupefied or he began to doubt my being the Great Demon King.
Since then, he has not once granted me the courtesy deserved of the Great Demon King, and to even address me without using honorifics.
But still, for the first time in 15 years, the pleasure of spending time with someone was far superior. Therefore, I had noint or correction, especially to the child.
Or rather, it may be necessary to ensure the child¡¯s mood never sullies, so I considered magic from the Great Demon Kings repertoire.
I gave my utmost to limate to the child¡¯s life, listening in on human school sses for the first time, and observing the lives of human students. All was fresh.
And, as we continued our shared existence, I gradually came to understand the child.
A boy who grew up spoiled by a wealthy family without any inconvenience. However, it was also a rebellious period peculiar to puberty.
And, in the case of the child, it was not only defiance.
After learning about the existence of the [Graduation Commemorative Match], I came to understand his situation clearly.
©¤ ¡¡ For the time being, I¡¯m preparing myself for the humiliation.
Tis much toox, suchck of motivation, the extent of such slovenly attitude.
Tis why I immediately understood.
That the child has aplex with his great parents.
Thinking back on it, tis a natural story.
The existence that overthrew me and changed the history of the world. A child born of such parents, the expectations and pressures he would have been under.
Even more, tis a peaceful world now. Unlike the days of war, which afforded many opportunities to raise one¡¯s name, it was cruel to have in mere students the same expectations as heroes.
However, such a thing does not matter to those around him. As the child is the son of Hiro, no matter what he does, he can only be seen through rose-colored sses.
Despite knowing full well of the child¡¯s feelings, I chose to make a mockery of him for a moment. But in your heart¡ you want to get back at your father. You want to get back at the world. Is that not so? But I also understand that youck the talent to do so.And.
However, the child was pushed too far and had many rebuttals, I got much too heated and retorted.
From there, it devolved to an argument exchanging one statement for another. In retrospect, I once engaged in verbal battle with Hiro, but it involved conflicting subjects such as ¡°World¡±, ¡°Humanity¡±, ¡°Demon¡±, ¡°Future¡± and so on. It was like a quarrel between young children.
And the child said, ¡®You actually weren¡¯t that strong, were you?¡¯. With that he said too much, and involuntarily I responded.
¡ª You shall take my ce, wielding the power of the Great Demon King! And thus, be witness to my greatness as you blossom!
Was that not surprising now that I think about it? Even the child was left petrified, his mouth wide open as well.
Train the son of Hiro, my former nemesis?
I almostughed at my strange fate.
On the other hand, however, I also felt it would be a good way to kill time if nothing else and so what could be done about it.
During my life, never have I taught my skills or knowledge to someone else.
In the sense that I can still have new experiences after death, even if the other party is The Son of Hiro, I will not dislike it.
Yes, it was simply to kill time. And yet, at that time.
©¤ You¡¡ do not possess the aptitude for the same heavy-handed swordsmanship as Hiro. In other words, youck the talent to be as Hiro.
In order to efficiently and effectively develop the skills through training suitable for the child, first exin the objectives of the training in order. For that purpose, he must learn what is unsuitable for his fighting style and what fits him best.
But at the same time, tis the same as asking him to give up on all he has ever aimed for, so to speak, to give up what had guided him.
He gave up his father¡¯s style, which he had longed for and aimed at since he was little.
That is why I was surprised.
For a 15 year old boy to be told that ¡®you don¡¯t have talent to be like your father¡¯ , never did expect such a reaction.
©¤ I-it¡¯s not¡ Somehow, I have a rather pleasant feeling about this! Not like I¡¯m my father¡¯s son¡¡exactly, more like I¡¯m myself! I feel like a curse upon me has been reduced a little bit, and it made me feel better.
The child said so to me, earnestly.
©¤ Please, Tre¡¯ainar. Lead me to the right path.
The child would not have noticed it either. At that time, the moment I heard those words, my astonishment was such that my face almost fell out.
Do you understand? Hiro.
People do not easily discard what they have umted or have been aiming for. If you put in the effort, pushed forward, and spent all that time on it, you would like to believe that it was not all for naught. To throw it away just by being told such by a person is, in a sense, a denial of the past self.
Yes, so I made the proposal myself, and informed the child, ¡®I don¡¯t have the same talent as my father¡¯, I assumed the child would disagree and turn rebellious.
However, he did not.
Whatever words maye from your mouth, your focus up to this point, is always rooted to your dream and style. Rather that, I believe that it alleviates the burden¡ Do you know what that means?
More than I thought, the child felt aplex with Hiro and Mamu.
And the moment I found out, no longer did I think of it as nothing more than just killing time. For the sake of doing so, and having given up one way, I decided to make him as strong as possible.
¡ª Skipping, one, two, three! One, two, three!
©¤ Bu, Gur, u¡ hehehehehe¡
Well, certainly the child was so rude along the way that I lost count how often I got angry, but still not enough to have me say ¡°I quit.¡±
The child also never uttered ¡°I do not want to do it¡±. He obediently followed instructions put forth by me who should have been previously considered an enemy of the human race, and trained diligently.
And that day¡
©¤ I¡I couldn¡¯t win, but I did my best¡I don¡¯t want any constion! I want to win! I want to show them, those who don¡¯t believe I can win!
At the time, Hiro, Mamu, and the maid praised his attitude of ¡°working hard to win the championship¡± in the uing match.
They may have just been praising him, but the child¡¯s interpretation of their words was ¡®they don¡¯t expect a win¡¯ from the beginning, rather than them caring about the results.
There was no malicious intent from them as it were, they genuinely believed they were giving him support.
I thought of rectifying his outlook, but it did ignite the child¡¯s enthusiasm.
©¤ Please¡I want to train me more ¡ No ¡ I need to train! I want to be strong! I won¡¯t discard it no matter what kind of effort. So, please! Osu!
I judged that such fire was not to be put out.
After all, having shown such enthusiasm, I began to believe in the result and decided to make him stronger.
Yes, it was at that moment, the child and I might have truly be master and disciple atst.
Though we never put it to each other in words, at least for the child, forck of anything else to do I train him, raise him as a disciple. To him I am not the Great Demon King, but a master diligently overlooking his growth.
That is why, even though I was dead, I was also responsible.
Therefore, when I realized the growth of my disciple, I felt even more enthusiastic.
And so did my feelings.
Same could be said for the child.
©¤ I don¡¯t want to be an imperial knight. Right now I¡¯m¡ I want to be a man who can go anywhere.
The child opened his heart enough to tell me about his future.
And whatever path the future leads to¡
©¤ Someday¡would you like to go? Not really. I¡¯ve been taught a little bit, and¡ maybe I¡¯d like to see it too¡ Including the demon world¡¡
The child was also aware that I would still be beside him on the road.
©¤ Ho. The little boy, is in his own way¡.showing a man¡¯s expression, is he not?
©¤ Is that right?
¡ª And, for that I am grateful. For now, it would be my pleasure, to see the world as it stands today.
¡ª Do our interests align?
¡ª Hmm. Thus, you must get stronger. I will not have you perish the moment you embark on your journey.
¡ª Yeah true. I ask that you please take care of me, Master.
Come to think of it, tis a feeling I have never experienced before.
Yes, you might call it ¡®humble¡¯.
However, the child¡¯s consideration, though not spoken out loud, was purely ingrained in the heart.
That is why I deeply felt happiness with the child¡¯s growth.
©¤ Hehe¡ This is my answer, Rebal.
©¤ ¡¡ What?
©¤ I¡¯m here to prove myself, too.
Just two months ago, he only had a sense of inferiority to the geniuses of the era, but now he wants to fight to prove himself.
©¤ I¡¯m here, not the Great Hero, Hiro¡ not even Mamu, the War Maiden! Not even the son of a hero! I¡¯m the one who¡¯s here, me! Earth Lagann! And this is my way, starting here!
My heart grew stronger, and more than anything¡
©¤ Pierce through the limits!
He acquired enough power to match it.
©¤ Special Move, ¡¾Fang of Heavenly Light ? Meteor sh Spir- uh¡ Uh, uh¡ Do iiiiiiiiittt!
¡¡ Well, only the naming sense remains unfortunate.
Nevertheless, the child¡¯s achievements left me excited.
I have led many in the past, but never have I raised anyone.
Tis not bad, this feeling as the student fully demonstrates their results and growth.
©¤ Earth¡¯s Fist caught Rebal!
©¤ Oh, Mr. Rebal!?
©¤ Rebal fell¡now, he¡¯s face down on the floor!
©¤ P-Powerful¡ Earth, so strong!
©¤ What¡¯s going on¡a genius like Rebal can¡¯t be left helpless on his hands and knees, right!?
Until now, with the crowd¡¯s narrow-minded notion of ¡®knowing his nature¡¯ when it came to the child, their subsequent surprised reaction had me burst intoughter.
And above all¡¡
©¤ I, I can¡¯t believe it¡ that Earth, where did you learn that? When do you learn that?
©¤ With Hiro¡ me and¡ much less, it¡¯s different from Sadiz. How the heck did he¡?
More than anything, the fact that you are incapable of masking your surprise proves my superiority. Say? Hiro. Mamu.
You do not understand, do you?
What happened to your son and why he gained so much power?
Everything is too much.
Despite the fact that I waspletely destroyed by you and be but a spirit, this in a way, still verifies my existence.
©¤ Wh-Why¡ Little man this¡ Those movements¡?
©¤ Celestial¡the entire sword¡ Rebal¡¯s swordsmanship is insane. I mean, to see it all¡. all Earth!
©¤ Are you kidding me? Earth¡¯s reflexes¡ And, uh¡ like wings¡ How do you move your feet?
©¤ ¡¡ Hiro, di-didn¡¯t you train him!?
At the sight of their surprised and dismayed faces, again Iughed at such ironic fate.
Even so, this is also something¡. You and I have faced each other on many asions, but¡ Now we do not fight each other, we simply do the same thing¡ I am watching over the same man.
And you , who should know your own son better than anyone else, know nothing, and now I know your son better¡.
However, I do not intend to act as intermediary between parent and child.
If you were the child, you would realize how little time you and your parents have spent with each other.
And when I consider your attitude toward your son, perhaps there was a desire simr to that of ¡®parents and children being connected by their hearts¡¯.
Such could be said as the child¡¯s fighting style was still ¡®the same magic sword as his father¡¯.
However, the child forsaken all that. At the end of the day, he will not aim to be an Imperial Knight like you. He refuses to follow the path you have taken or the future you have prepared.
Then Hiro. Mamu. What have you left to your son?
You have defeated me, gained world peace, the right to life of mankind, the future, and you have earned the title of one and only hero.
But at this rate, will you not forfeit the ordinary mon happiness¡¯ that is due a person?
I really believed that it had nothing to do with me.
©¤ He stood up! Rebal¡¯s up!
©¤ But, are you okay? You were beaten so much¡.
©¤ Even so, Earth is so strong¡.
©¤ Until now, you were saying that the Son of Hiro and Mamu would lose!
©¤ I knew that, didn¡¯t I? Young Earth is a man who does it when he does it!
©¤ Oh, that¡¯s ridiculous!
©¤ Well, I¡¯ve reconsidered it!
©¤ Yes, it¡¯s true¡ª
Ah, even after doing this much¡ yet they still¡
©¤ Surely, the son of the hero!!!!
Hiro¡ Mamu¡ Do you not notice now?
The words of praise the crowd send in admiration, and how calm the child¡¯s heart is.
Though he smiles fearlessly at his opponent, his eyebrows twitch slightly at the audience¡¯s remarks, and the reactions pull at the child¡¯s mouth.
So I pushed his back.
©¤ Even with this, seems the world still does not recognize you as ¡®Earth Lagann¡¯ instead of being the ¡®Son of the Hero¡¯. Then show me more. As my disciple, rouse the crowd. I will watch that moment.
As a teacher, I was pushing the child¡¯s back.
And then¡
©¤ There is no winning¡yes, not as it is now!!
The child¡¯s voice and mine matches,
©¤ Child. I shall ask once again. Who were you before?
©¤ I used to be¡the Hero, Hiro¡¯s ¡¡just his Son¡
©¤ Earth?
©¤ Then, who are you now?
©¤ I¡¯m your disciple¡.
©¤ Tis so, but as a disciple, have you no notion of your standing? The first andst disciple of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡
©¤ I know¡
©¤ And what will you be from this day forth?
©¤ It¡¯s decided! New, and true me!
©¤ Yes! Show it to everyone! Go, Earth!!
And howl.
That was the moment, I got so heated.
©¤ Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Break!!
And he clenched his fist tight. The child¡¯s victory assured, I felt so much joy, and at the same time¡
©¤ Earth¡you¡¡ You!
©¤ You¡ Why¡¡
The reactions of the two who interrupted the match, and what happened afterwards, ached my heart.
©¤ Is it true that the technique he just used was the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s?
©¤ Idiot, why would the son of a hero use the Demon King¡¯s skill!
©¤ If that¡¯s the case¡ it¡¯s a shame!
©¤ You have no pride as a son of a hero!
Neither those two nor Crowd appreciated the child¡¯s efforts or results.
It may be inevitable.
The technique of the Great Demon King.
From the point of view of the heroes and the humans who saw it, such reaction was only natural.
I should have been more concerned about it.
Distracted I was by the thought of my disciple getting stronger day by day, and he was not as distracted.
All of it because Icked awareness.
All of it was my own fault.
And yet¡¡ child¡¡ You were a big fool.
©¤ You are at fault? Why would you say that? What¡¯s wrong with me being your disciple?
Never will I forget those words. What kind of thoughts did you put into those words?
The child who ran out on his parents, the Imperial City he grew up in, and everything in despair.
You ran, wept, shouted, but never crawled, and you raised your head.
And this time, not as the son of the hero, but as Earth Lagann, you will be recognized by the world.
©¤ Aim for the World, Earth!
Together, I swore to change the legend.
©¤ Okay¡ bring it on. I¡¯m not an ultra hero, but¡but still¡ let¡¯s be ¡®something¡¯ that surpasses my father!
The child also said so,ughed, and stood up again with hope and ambition, even though it was the worst day of his life.
Then let¡¯s go together.
©¤ To the End of the World!!
The child¡¯s new life begins at the end beyond the horizon.
Yes, let us go as far as we can.
I shall keep youpany until the very end.
Volume 1, Extra Chapter – The Truth about the Picture Books
Volume 1, Extra Chapter ¨C The Truth about the Picture Books
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°There are even more books all of a sudden.¡±
¡ºWhat are you saying! This amount is still but a few! In the first ce, you can never read too many books.¡»
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll read it with you next time.¡±
¡ºHmm!¡»
It was one of the rewards I gave to Tre¡¯ainar who made me his disciple. A follow-up of the novels that Tre¡¯ainar loved reading when he was alive.
However, more than ten years have passed since Tre¡¯ainar died, so when ites topiling all the following volumes, it ended up being a considerable amount.
When I pulled the cart from the bookstore, returned to the mansion, and entered my room, I noticed something.
Originally, reading was not a hobby of mine, so my room doesn¡¯t have a big enough bookshelf.
The books on the bookshelf are also dictionaries, textbooks and the like.
Still, if by some chance I move these aside, Sadiz will get angry with me.
¡°Well, where to put them¡ it can¡¯t be helped, so in the closet maybe?¡±
The closet located in the room. Or rather, it is a separate room that acts as a storage room.
My clothes, social attire, childhood toys, and so on are in there.
Sadiz usually cleans it for me, so I went in after a long time, but there was no dust, and it was neatly organized.
¡ºIs everything here yours?¡»
¡°Well, you can say that.¡±
¡ºHuh, plenty of clothing and toys. After all, the child can buy it all without inconvenience.¡»
¡°Moh, Nu¡¡±
I know I¡¯m blessed being in a wealthy family with plenty of luxury.
However, when people tell me, I feel like I¡¯m being made a fool of, and I get a little upset.
¡ºWell, tis organized, but you no longer need anything from your childhood, do you? Why keep it?¡»
¡°No, I agree with you, but Sadiz and my mother are no good¡ they are mementos¡.. or for when I have a child someday¡..¡±
¡ºI see. Memories¡¡»
That¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainarughs at.
In contrast to such a closet, Tre¡¯ainar noticed something that was in there.
¡ºHmm? Child. There are books on the shelf there¡¡»
He pointed to several books which were a little worn out, and left on a shelf.
I couldn¡¯t help feeling nostalgic, too.
¡°Ah, not my picture books. Wow~, Sadiz use to read these to me~¡±
I knew they were there, but I didn¡¯t have any need for them or take them out.
However, if you take it in your hand casually and spread it out, the memories of the paste back.
¡ºHoho, tis a picture book?¡»
¡°Ah. When I was little, I had them read this, and when I was in elementary school, we all acted ys together.¡±
It¡¯s not just Sadiz. At that time, my mother read it asionally. My father was very bad at reading, so he didn¡¯t like it, did he?
In the y, the princess was so selfish and hard to deal with. I wouldn¡¯t practice, something like practicing together as husband and wife so that I can monitor myself, well¡.
¡ºHmm? Oh, Peach Boy.¡»
Then, when he saw one of the picture books I had in my hand, Tre¡¯ainar whispered.
¡°Oh, do you know about it, too? ¡®Peach Boy Born from a Peach¡¯.¡±
¡ºCertainly.¡»
I couldn¡¯t share the topic of the novels, but I felt a sense of familiarity to the fact that Tre¡¯ainar also knew the picture book I used to read.
¡ºLong ago, there was a man who was the natural enemy of the Ogres. His sword skills were superb, but what he feared the most was a beast-tamer with the power to persuade animals. With his ability, he led Cerberus and the Monkey gods to scatter the demons. He was a formidable opponent. ¡»
¡¡ wait what?
¡ºOh? That picture book¡ To the turtle who helped¡ Oh, the tale of the fisherman who journeyed to a deep-sea city? Nostalgic. Once, a schism ran between our Demon Army and the Legions of the Deep Seas over the princess, the daughter of the sea god.¡»
¡¡ oh, hey?
¡ºHmmm, this is¡ Ah, the bearer of the Battle Axe, ¡®Golden Bear Killer¡¯¡¡ Well, once this was a problem involving interracial marriage, was this picture book story about the crane and frog woman who¡.¡»
Since when? Reading these kinds of picture books made my eyes shine with wonder, but as I grew up, I wrote them off as ¡®stories for children¡¯.
¡°Umm, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡°The characters in these picture books¡ were they real?¡±
¡º¡¡ Did you not know?¡»
I never imagined I would find out in this way, not all of this was fictional, but actually ¡°based on a true story.¡±
¡ºIs this one not famous, as well? ¡®Tonchi One Nine¡¯ was called the intellectual general of mankind. I oftenpared his wisdom with my own. And I miss this one too. ¡®Old Sage Hanasaki¡¯ the nt master who turned and ruined by the war into an all-epassing flower garden. Also¡ ¡»
¡°Hey, wait¡ Let me calm down first¡. Ha-ha¡¡±
If anyone else said all this, I¡¯d be like, ¡®What are you talking about?¡¯. But if the Great Demon King is speaking with a straight face, there was a persuasive feeling that it might all be true.
¡°This story¡ even if I were anyone else, no one would believe me ¡¡±
¡º? ¡»
I know of a shocking fact, but surely no one will believe me.
Well, in the first ce, no one will believe my experience, that I see the ghost of the Great Demon King.
Somehow, after meeting this guy, I was able to learn only things I didn¡¯t know.
¡°Hey, what else is there? Such a story.¡±
¡ºHmm? Alright¡¡ Ah, this monkey named ¡®Goku¡¯ is ¨C¡»
I guess more things like this will happen in the future.
It¡¯s a bit scary, and also a lot more fun.
Chapter 44 – New Lessons
Chapter 44 ¨C New Lessons
Tranted by: Sads07
How long has it been since Tre¡¯ainar and I set off for something?
¡ºIs something wrong?¡»
¡°No, just a little... I wonder how long it has been since we left...¡±
My teacher, mypanion, and the existence that¡¯s one with my flesh, Tre¡¯ainar.
Hearing what I said, he was a little dumbfounded andughed....
¡ºUmm... tis only been three hours.¡» [1]
¡°And yet I can¡¯t see any signs of people at all! Or rather, where are we!?¡±
Oh. It had been about three hours.
¡°Somehow, I can¡¯t see lights or anything, I¡¯m just getting further into the woods and I¡¯m getting scared of something, right? You want me to stay outside today? In that case, shouldn¡¯t I have rested in the meadows still?¡±
¡ºThere was nothing around there. Neither water, nor anything that could prevent hunger.¡»
¡°B-but...... well, then... I can¡¯t sleep in bed today, or have a warm meal either...¡±
¡ºHey, look here, pompous twit. For a penniless runaway you sure expect a lot?¡» [2]
Me and Tre¡¯ainar, who started our journey from the expanding meadows, were now wandering in the forest at the foot of a mountain somewhere.
As far as the eye can see, every direction is surrounded by deep forests.
As we proceed, there is no vige, not one hut, let alone the city.
My legs are tired, my stomach is growling, my throat is dry, I haven¡¯t taken a bath, I have no bed.
Until now, without asking for anything, I can get everything without any inconvenience, and anything I ask for, Sadiz would... prepare... Sadiz...
¡°...... Damn it.
¡ºHey, has your spirit broken so soon?¡»
¡°Oh, no ... not really ...¡±
¡ºWell, this also is an experience I believe. Exactly...... I doubt the recent Academy students have learned how to camp...¡»
By getting out of the environment you have beenfortable in until now, I can see how well off I have been in that environment.
I was in the Imperial City, and I,menting the circumstance that no one was looking at me, ran out.
However, even if they would not acknowledge me, if I stayed in the Imperial City at least I would never starve or die.
Yet, since I abandoned it, I have to do everything on my own from now on.
As soon as I started my journey, I realized that.
¡ºAnyway, think of this is an opportunity to hone yourself, so do not go through the forest carelessly, rather walk through the forest while considering all you have experienced. As you stay here, you shall gain self-sufficiency and follow the rules of the strong.¡»
¡°Eh... That¡¯s...¡±
¡ºIn other words, you have to secure food and bed for yourself.¡»
¡°Geh!?¡±
Secure a bed. Well, for some reason or another, I¡¯ve resigned to camping outside.
I can¡¯t sleep in a soft bed.
But securing food myself is...
¡°Well, I mean... for example...¡±
¡ºYes, finding mushrooms and edible nts, hunting beasts... catching fish, finding frogs and snakes....¡»
¡°A-Are you serious!? C-Can¡¯t we find a steak shop!?¡±
¡ºSuch is life, now on your feet!!¡»
¡°How to put it, though I¡¯m not a hunter, I must hunt beasts, I¡¯m not a fisherman, but I must fish... Moreover, so gross!? Even a little, to eat a frog or a snake!? No, wait, I can¡¯t! Frogs and snakes are really impossible!?¡± [3]
¡º...... Hence why you are your parents¡¯ spoiled twit...¡»
I couldn¡¯t help but be horrified by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, that is too much for survival.
But, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s stunned expression seems to say, ¡®With this level...¡¯
And being called ¡®parent¡¯s twit¡¯ really stuck it to my heart.
¡ºRaising your tone to that degree, will you think of the future? Furthermore, as I said earlier, in the forest... no, the outside world, tis the strong that eats. Do not forget, tis also possible you will be hunted by ferocious beasts and such, is it not?¡»
¡°U...¡±
¡ºThat is why you must be hearty in order to move on. Before our goals, we must first acquire the strength and knowledge to survive living alone.¡»
Right. At the time of our departure... well, the great feat of ¡®surpassing my father¡¯ that I pledged three hours ago.
Before I do that, I have to be man enough to do something about this.
That¡¯s why Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words about me raising my voice to this degree, I¡¯ll be considerate in the future.
¡°Wow... All right, I...... so...... ah, there was...¡±
With that said, when I nced down, I noticed arge mushroom growing at the base of a tree, and crouched before that...
¡°If I find something like this, I can eat it...¡±
¡ºWell, such bravery can discipline the mind, By the way, tis a poisonous mushroom called ¡®Giggling Mushroom (Bakushotake)¡¯.¡»
¡°..................¡±
¡ºIf consumed, dizziness, chills and neurological symptoms, and in some cases mental disorders such as visual and auditory hallucinations...¡» [4]
¡°Hold on, that¡¯s too dangerous!? I had no idea, did I?¡±
Dangerous. If my hunger had reached the limit, I might have casually eaten this mushroom.
With poisons beingmonce in the forest, acquiring food is a challenge.
¡ºHmm. Well, do not worry. I shall inform you of survival in the forest. In times past, I would asionally take a break in-between political affairs by going on a ¡®solo camp¡¯ retreat.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar speaking so freely is a new facet.
Everything really is an ant to this guy.
But why ¡®solo camp¡¯?
By any chance, did he not have any friends.... [5]
¡ºIn any case, we shall see what can be eaten and what cannot. So learn all you can.¡»
¡°Oh... But...¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡°If possible... I want to eat meat....¡±
Wow, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s expression is like, ¡®Oh, this pompous twit¡¯.
But I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s what stimtes my mind.
¡ºWell, anyway, as long as you¡¯re in the forest... depending on the location, there are beasts and monsters.... If you fight and win, you eat.... you will need to learn that.¡»
¡°You¡¯re serious...¡±
¡ºDo not worry. And, as I have mentioned, you are in a period of growth. Rather, protein is a necessary nutrient. So, to you... I shall pass on a certain ¡®Special¡¯...¡»
Special!? Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Special!?
¡°R-Really? The Tre¡¯ainar Special? What¡¯s that? Is there such a thing?¡±
¡ºTis not my invention. Tis to do with a certain tribe... a charm to lure beasts that does not require magic.¡»
¡°Heh!?¡±
A charm that lures beasts? You don¡¯t need magic? That¡¯s what it is. Did he say.... beasts?
¡°Hey, you said beasts, if dangerous beasts show up...¡±
¡ºDo not worry. There were no signs of such in this forest. At least, no beast stronger than the child.¡»
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar stood on the spot, both legs slightly open.
¡ºDassoso! Now, you do it!¡»
¡°Eh... W-What¡¯s that?¡±
¡ºTis a song and dance of the Banbino tribe that lures beasts. They are a famous hunting tribe.¡»
Daso? Tre¡¯ainar suddenly began to dance before my eyes, shouting out strange words...... Eh? [6]
¡°Eh!? W-What¡¯s that? ...... no...... uh¡±
¡ºDo not mock this? Capture the beasts that appear with this charm and dance!¡»
Sorry...... I gained resistance due todders and speed reading, and I guess it¡¯s true if Tre¡¯ainar says so.
But, to resistughing, it¡¯s....
¡ºTis a matter of life or death! Take it seriously! Now, rhythmically raise your voice with the steps you trained on thedder!¡»
¡°Oh, oooh... is this it?¡±
¡ºYes, hop rhythmically on both feet, bend your hips slightly, shout with both hands to beckon!¡»
But nothing came.
¡°Hah~ haah~ haaaah~... I used up my stamina....¡±
¡ºDear me. The technique is simply beyond a spoiled twit.¡»
¡°Stop calling me a twit, damn you!¡±
I¡¯ve been screaming the same words and dancing for a long time, but no beasts came out at all.
Tre¡¯ainar insists that I don¡¯t have the skill, but...... No...... it¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar says.... but...... from the side, what am I doing alone in the forest?
¡°Ah- ah... Better yet, if only I could say ¡®Come here¡¯ in words that are also transmitted to animals, wouldn¡¯t it be easier....¡±
I was tired, so I sat down there andined.
But to my casual grumbling...
¡ºTis not...... infeasible!¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar replied.
¡ºAn Ancient Forbidden Spell... There is something that can aid inmunicating with animals and demonic beasts. Trantion Magic, ¡¾Mutza Gouro¡¿¡»
¡°Seriously!? Then, if you teach me....¡±
¡ºHowever! ¡»
¡°...... Hmm?¡±
¡ºTis too early for you. Best not to learn it yet.¡»
¡°Eh? Why?¡±
It¡¯s too early for me to learn. It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it, but the expression ¡®It¡¯s better not to¡¯.
I have no idea what that¡¯s all about.
However, Tre¡¯ainar tells me so with a serious, stern face.
¡ºTo understand all words... In a sense, that will lead to a change in one¡¯s entire world view.¡»
¡°??¡±
¡ºWell, most who have learned this end up mentally ill... best case scenario, you be a vegetarian.¡» [7]
¡°Eh... Well, seriously? Such a side effect?¡±
¡ºTis not so much a side effect...¡»
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar thought a little...
¡ºWell, learn a lot. Then decide on whether or not the magic should be acquired after travelling the world a little more.¡»
He told me about it just to admonish me.
Author¡¯s Note
Ladies and gentlemen, it¡¯s been twenty-four hours. How are you?
I will also resume this story.
I can¡¯t do it every day from here, but I¡¯d be happy if you could still read it.
Chapter 2 flows from the prologue and the world after three hours.
Some of the impressions I received expected it to be ¡°five years since then¡± and ¡°ten years¡±, but the correct answer was ¡°three hours¡±.
Such a master and pupil, thank you again.
[H1] What? Were you expecting a One Piece Style 3D2Y Timeskip??
[H2] The word used here is ¥Ü¥ó¥Ü¥ó which refers to a Green young man from a well-to-do family. Had a bit of trouble finding the word to use but thanks to suggestions from senpais at RTD and LNT Discord, I got suggestions including twat, prat but I went with Twit.
[H3] The word used here, ¥²¥í¥²©`¥í, has a double meaning which surprisingly works in either context. It can mean Gross or Disgusting (or simply a gag/vomit reflex), but it can also refer to the sound of frogs croaking (Gerogero).
[H4] Guess he found Shrooms!! Remember Kids... Don¡¯t do drugs.... Drugs are bad M¡¯Kay!!!
[H5] It¡¯s okay, he¡¯s got one friend now!!!
[H6] Here we go again!!
[H7] Oh Hell Nah! I don¡¯t care what the beast says, Sads needs his meat. Whine about the Hens he¡¯ll leave behind, dat chicken is getting in the fryer. I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s got a calf to take care of, beef is going on the grill. Fish gotta find Nemo? No need. He can join him in my stew.
And we¡¯re back with part 2. Rough start for our heroes (opps, that¡¯s a taboo word I believe). Will Earth fall to vegetarianism to survive? Will Tre¡¯ainar stop calling him a ¡®twit¡¯? Did Goku exist in this world? Well if the bonus chapter is too be believed...
Anyway, really hope everyone is safe and healthy. We just started social distancing here and it¡¯s rough. Hopefully this whole C-virus craze will move on without making zombies and we all go back to our lives.
Quick shoutout to all my Patrons for their overwhelming support. Tier rewards are up on my Patreon page.
Chapter 45 – Intermission (Mother)
Chapter 45 ¨C Intermission (Mother)
Tranted by: Sads07
©¤ No matter what, I¡¯ll find Earth! I¡¯m going out of the Imperial City, but Mamu should go back to the mansion right away just in case! Maybe Earth will drop in once!
Having said that, Hiro ran out. To bring back our beloved son.
Actually, I wanted us to run together.
But, as Hiro said, there¡¯s a chance Earth might stop by the mansion once.
His luggage and wallet, which were in the waiting room of the arena, were left behind after he ran off.
He should have hesitated to rush out of the Empire without any money or possessions, so perhaps he returned to the mansion once.
However, those faint expectations copsed the moment we returned to the mansion.
¡°He didn¡¯t....e home....¡±
When I returned to the mansion, there was no particr change.
Sadiz cleans up every day, so nothing is messy.
This morning, I¡¯m sure she had done all the housework beforeing to the Arena.
¡°Lady Mamu... uhm...... about Miss Sadiz...¡±
¡°Let her sleep in a vacant room. It would be troublesome if Sadiz were to wake up, but...¡±
I quickly returned to the mansion and searched all the rooms, but they still couldn¡¯t find him, and there was no trace of him stopping by.
When I realized that, biting my lips in Earth¡¯s clean, well-organized room, my subordinate warriors who I had left to care for an unconscious Sadiz finally caught up.
But in the end I couldn¡¯t catch up with Earth.
¡°...... Earth...... where the heck is... what the hell happened to you?¡±
Even now, I want to believe that it was a dream.
The Commemorative Match. Up to now, going by the academy teachers and Sadiz, Earth demonstrated fighting skills that arepletely different from the expected hearsay, even disying Martial Art without using a sword.
Those movements, driven by power and technique far beyond our imagination, tossed Rebal, and then the skill he used at the very end...
¡°No... That¡¯s not.... Right...... That¡¯s what...¡±
Yes, that¡¯s not what I have to think about.
Right now it doesn¡¯t matter why Earth is so powerful.
All I have to think about more is...
©¤ If I knew it would be this hard... I would not want to be born as a hero¡¯s child
¡°Uh, uuuuh, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhh!!!¡±
Has Earth been suffering from being our son, and we weren¡¯t aware?
Certainly, I heard such a story.
When he entered the academy, because he couldn¡¯t beat little Phianse, and he had nothing special unlike Fu or Rebal, he developed a slightplex.... ¡®I¡¯ve heard¡¯.
But what did I do by just ¡®listening¡¯?
He was agonizing, he was frustrated, and he hated himself.
I.....
¡°Earth...¡±
I can¡¯t stop crying.
In this room... packed with over a decade worth of Earth¡¯s memories.... I smell him just by being in this room.
But he¡¯s not here.
There is, everyday Sadiz, that girl keeps it tidy.... huh?
¡°Ah...¡±
Then I saw the clothes hanging in the room¡¯s closet.
It¡¯s an Academy uniform.
¡°Uniform... Come to think of it, when he started school, the size of his new uniform was a little big, and everyoneughed.... Heh!?¡±
Then I noticed that I was looking at the uniform.
Academy uniforms vary in size from student to student.
And Earth said, ¡®I¡¯ll grow taller soon anyway¡¯, and ordered a slightlyrger size.
At that time, I happened to hear the story from Sadiz, so I knew the size of the uniform.
But......
¡°No... it¡¯s bigger than therge size I wore when I entered... Oh...¡±
Why is the size of the uniform changing? I didn¡¯t understand it for a moment, but it was so simple.
Earth was growing, so the uniform wouldn¡¯t fit, so I also put down a new uniform.
¡°I see... Earth...... you...... you¡¯ve grown... so much...¡±
Yes, I didn¡¯t know that.
And I didn¡¯t even notice it.
Why didn¡¯t I notice?
Because I wasn¡¯t looking at Earth.
¡°I¡¯m... even that... I didn¡¯t see it.... I didn¡¯t realize...¡±
I disqualify as a parent...... naturally...
¡°So... what are you suffering from...... what are you worried about.... I didn¡¯t even know what was going on....¡±
Even if you don¡¯t usually see each other very often, aren¡¯t you connected because you are parent and child?
I felt connected, yet I didn¡¯t see anything.... what we say with our mouths.
¡°Somehow, no matter what our children will be okay... hah... what are you saying, I..... I only saw Earth as an impression of myself and Hiro. Earth is different from me and Hiro. Earth... is Earth, but...¡±
So I.....
©¤ I¡¯m just... just once... my dad... everyone... not as a son of a hero. I just wanted you to praise me.... that¡¯s all....
¡°My own son... my beloved son.... for him to say that... no..... we made Earth say it!¡±
Why did Earth say that?
In this way, finally...... to realize that I lost Earth...... What a hero! What a hero!
¡°I¡¯m sorry... Earth...... sorry...... I can¡¯t even be a normal parent.... I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Save the world.... saying it¡¯s work, it¡¯s protecting the world of peace.... I couldn¡¯t protect the happiness I had in my hand.
¡°Little man! Haa, ha... Lil¡¯ Earth!!¡±
¡°... Sadiz...¡±
Then, before my startled presence at the roughly opened door, stood Sadiz, who looked pale and trembling.
¡°.... Miss Sadiz. You need to take a little rest now.¡±
Seems she came right away after waking up.
And, the voice of my subordinate has not reached Sadiz now.
Sadiz also recalls a lot, and then...
¡°Mamu... Little man...¡±
¡°...... He gave up on us and ran away.¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
At that moment, I couldn¡¯t recall the words I just said to Sadis, her whole body trembling and stumbling.
Yes, it¡¯s all on me and Hiro.
Then Sadiz...
¡°I¡¯m... what...... screaming...... Little man.... I¡¯m...¡±
I can understand painfully what Sadiz is thinking.
¡°For today... alone.... I made a silent effort.... for Little man.... I, I....¡±
For my own sake, I am bound by a feeling of regret and guilt.
But......
¡°Even if you sit down crying to death... he¡¯s noting home.¡±
¡°Eh... ah... ah...¡±
It¡¯s not the time to cry. Sadiz too. Me too.
¡°I regret it and cry but... my legs move, so... me and you... Hiro, too.¡±
¡°Ma... am... Big sister...¡±
¡°Even if they won¡¯t let me... I¡¯ll think about making amends, but for now I¡¯m going to chase after them.¡±
I have to chase after him now.
We do.
¡°...... Yes...¡±
No matter where it is.
¡°Isn¡¯t Earthing home!¡±
¡°Come on, Earth!¡±
¡°Nowhere in town... why don¡¯t you go back home!?¡±
And, it¡¯s noisy again.... these kids...
¡°Phi... Princess... Fu...... Rebal...¡±
¡°Lady Mamu, now... the entire Imperial Capital is on high alert and under curfew... so I searched all over the city... but he¡¯s...¡±
Her face turned blue.... the princess doesn¡¯t know what happened, but she can¡¯t settle down to the fact that Earth is gone.
When I think about it, I know how she feels.... so I, Hiro, or Solja... If you can, take Earth.... at that point, it¡¯s no good.
If we, unqualified parents who saw nothing of Earth, were to join Earth and this child... once, I thought that we, who were united like family as the Seven Heroes, could be a real family...I was simply thinking, ¡®We are happy¡¯.
¡°Umm, Lady Mamu...¡±
¡°Earth... where in the world... why...... like this...¡±
Fu and Rebal are breathless. The two grown-ups, now as anxious as children, are now worried about Earth. Rebal, even though he hasn¡¯t gotten any treatment for the injury from the match yet, is running around desperately.
And it¡¯s the same for these two.
When I and Hiro heard that they were developing the same kind of talent as ¡®Them¡¯, not knowing anything about Earth, but were motivated topare him to these two....
¡°I don¡¯t know. Where did he go?¡±
¡°That¡¯s it!?¡±
¡°So! ...... I have to know... I mean, Earth... again...¡±
As a parent, I¡¯ve made a mistake that is beyond reproach.
Holding on to that, we still have to meet Earth again.
And..... I want to see you.
It¡¯s not a lie. Because I love you.
Earth. You may not forgive me.
If it¡¯s toote, you might reject it.
But I still... one more time...... really this time...... I want to be your mother!
No matter how long it takes.
Once again a huge shout out to my patrons for their overwhelming support to my stuff! d you love enough to toss a coin...

Chapter 46 – Aim To Live
Chapter 46 ¨C Aim To Live
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºIn such a forest, one can only hunt down the beasts that flee. Set a trap. Drive with a bow and arrow or a spear. But other than that...... to chase and catch them myself.... such means exist.¡»
As for the speed of the beast and those with small bodies, they avoid the trees with agile movement and disappear into the depths of the forest without suffering from the obstacles at their feet.
Isn¡¯t it impossible to catch up with a beast in the forest?
¡ºSo. Avable footings are unstable with obstacles aplenty. Then what are you to do? Search for the path of light.¡»
The path of Light?
¡ºThe shortest route to the destination or goal. Tis an application of dynamic vision and peripheral vision, which until now has only been active in sparring and speed reading. The ability to detect the shortest route to the goal while avoiding obstacles, by measuring ¡®your own physical ability, passiveness, foothold situation and risk assessment, using experience, prediction and the ability to observe and understand surrounding conditions. The skilled person sees the situation in an instant while running, and the shortest route in which to advance to the target appears as a path of light.... A Shining Road...... such is the phenomenon.¡»
The shortest route. Considering my current physical abilities?
How about that?
I have done it by nature, like walking through a crowd in the city.
But to do it in this deep forest......
¡ºYes, even if you find the shortest route, tis not that easy considering your physical abilities. Therefore, in this forest, in addition to survival knowledge, you shall learn the techniques of running, climbing and flying, jumping and traversing using trees and surrounding terrain, running through narrow paths.... You shall acquire ¡®Magical Parkour¡¯.¡»
Magical Parkour. Although the naming is still the same, the technique is certainly convenient.... and cool.
Instead of obstacles being a hindrance, they move lightly from tree to tree, kick off rock walls that appear, and use the recoil to elerate further.
¡ºYes, tis so. Once you master this, moving in the forest is easy. Furthermore, tis also possible to use the roof of buildings to move around the city. Tis a technique used by ¡®Ninja Warriors¡¯ once known as the world¡¯s best covert group.¡»
Ninja Warrior. I knew the name, but I didn¡¯t know the details.
Mysterious warriors who are said to have contributed to the war effort from the shadows in all aspects during the war.
I don¡¯t know who yed what role or how, but rumors still sparked rumors and ninja warriors were called ¡®Heroes of the Shadows¡¯.
As a kid, I honestly thought that was ¡®stylish¡¯, but after all, no one knew the true story, so it gradually slipped into obscurity.
That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d get to learn the technique that ninja warriors use.
Magical Parkour used by ninja warriors.
I was running in the forest to learn by all means.
¡°Rabbiiiiiiiiiiiit!!¡±
The hunt, to catch the escaping rabbit nimbly running around with its small body.
¡°I hate snakes and frogs, but I¡¯ve eaten rabbit meat! Rabbits I can eat! Waaaaaaaiiiit!¡±
¡ºHey, do not get too eager. Parkour needs calm. Get hot and try to do more than your ability to, and you may end up in an awkward state?¡»
It tries to run through the bushes and throw me, but I won¡¯t let it get away.
I want to eat more meat than mushrooms!
I¡¯ve eaten rabbit meat in a restaurant.
It had a slightly wild vor, unlike beef-pork, and I thought it was good enough.
¡°I¡¯m not going to let you go, rabbit!¡±
And here! With that in mind, I flew from branch to branch and there ...eh!?
¡°Ha bah!?¡±
...... On the branches of the tree.... hit by the shin of both feet...... misjudged the distance...... What?!
¡°I¡¯m faaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!¡±
I-I¡¯ll die!? Both shins hit!? I-I¡¯m gonna die! Gyaaaaaah!
¡± Heb, Goh, Gaha!?¡±
Falling, the back of the head! Back, ass!
¡°Hahaga, oh, goa...¡±
¡º...... Therefore, do not push your good fortune too far....¡»
The distance between the branches of the tree was a bit longer, but I thought I could reach them... I didn¡¯t reach them.
I banged the tibia which faced both feet on the branch of a thick tree, fell from the branch as it is, and crashed to the ground.
Hit my back and buttocks hard and rubbed my body with thickets.
¡ºHey... you have not perished, have you? If you die with just this, you will be quite the durd, right?¡»
¡°S-Sorry... Damn...¡±
No good. I can¡¯t get up right away because my whole body is numb.
Rabbits... Oh...
¡°That rabbit... stopped and looked back at me.... What? Are youughing with your nose?!¡±
The rabbit turns around and looks at me, who can¡¯t stand up and give chase.
There is no sign of the rabbit running away any longer either.
It didn¡¯tugh, but for some reason I felt I was being made a fool of.
¡°Nah, let¡¯s go...¡±
I felt like I was being made a fool of, so I stood up to be mean.
At that moment, the rabbit shook its body and began to focus so that it could start moving at any time.
And I see the rabbit, and at the same time I understand it.
¡°Terrain.... no good...... this distance...... even if I jump out, it can run away as it is....¡±
I understood only because I was chasing it up to now.
Its mobility. Agility. And, a sharp turn.
Unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t use a breakthrough because of magic preservation.
I can¡¯t knead my magic well because of the pain.
Good grief, how hopeless I am.
Rebal brought down a dragon, but I can¡¯t even catch a rabbit.
But......
¡°Don¡¯t make light of it... this struggle... you catch it, you win.... if that¡¯s the case!¡±
I gradually get numb but can move somehow.
However, it cannot be caught though it moves.
Then......
¡°Dassoso¡±
¡ºEh?!¡»
The rabbit reacted. All right, one more time!
¡°Dassoso¡±
¡º............eh......¡»
The technique taught by Tre¡¯ainar. A dance that lures beasts.
It was embarrassing at first, but I was cornered up to this point, and I was hungry, and I couldn¡¯t live if I didn¡¯t eat anything.
Then, shame does not matter.
¡°Dassoso¡±
I opened my heart and invited the rabbit with powerful steps.
Then, what did it do?
The rabbit moves its ears, and it approaches me as if it were a drunk.
¡°I-It worked!? Seriously!?¡±
¡ºHo. By opening your heart, you finally achieved it?¡»
Yes, I didn¡¯t feel ashamed of this, so I took it seriously and invited it.
That thought attracted the beast.
This...... The art of living......
¡°Oh, I got iiiiiiiiiiit!¡±
I quickly caught the rabbit that came to my feet.
It¡¯s a little hairy, heavy, hot, and you even hear the sound of the heart.
This is...... Life......
¡ºHmm, caught one atst? It took a long time.¡»
¡°Oh... finally...¡±
I live by eating this. Somehow, it¡¯s kind of emotional...
¡ºNow then, clean it up, drain the blood, peel off the skin, and remove the internal organs...¡»
¡°eh......?¡±
¡ºWhat is it?¡»
...... uh...... That!...... I¡¯m gonna do it?
¡ºHey.¡»
¡°Heh, n-no way... um...... that....¡±
¡ºWell I never, do you mean to imply you find such task disgusting, I wonder?¡»
No, still, eh? Can¡¯t I just grill it as it is?
I¡¯m dismantling? eh? Why take out the internal organs? Intestines...... can¡¯t bare it....
¡ºAbsolutely... Are you sure? Even if you catch a rabbit, it remains a rabbit. From now on, you have to make the rabbit meat in order to eat it... that is your task.¡»
¡°Ah... Seriously...¡±
¡ºThat is why the one who has only eaten meat that has already been processed by the butcher is...¡»
Oh, still mocking me as the ¡®twit¡¯ with a look of disdain.
I can¡¯t help it, but I¡¯ve only eaten what became meat in the first ce.
I¡¯ve only eaten meat cooked in restaurants, not to mention the butcher¡¯s meat.
I have to ughter this rabbit by myself, and dismantle it.
¡°Hmm.¡±
That was then.
Two more rabbits appeared from behind the bush.
For some reason, I nce at them.
¡°...... Oh, and... eh, what?¡±
Even if I stare, the two do not run away.
Me... No...... It¡¯s like they¡¯re staring at a rabbit I¡¯m holding by its neck....
¡°...... No way...You¡¯re not a parent and child, are you?¡±
¡ºHey. Do not mind it.¡»
¡°I know.¡±
No, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m going to...Stop it, don¡¯t look at me like that.
¡°Although, you have family, I still need to eat. I can¡¯t stay alive otherwise...so¡ª¡±
So, no matter how close you are, I¡¯ll eat this guy.
There is no need for sympathy.
It¡¯s a matter of life or death.
I¡¯ve been eating animal meat for years now.
Now, the rabbit that I caught with half-hearted sympathy......
¡°Kuu ...¡±
¡ºHuh!?¡»
It is useless even if it looks with such round eyes. Your family is over today.
Come on, dismantle now ...
¡°Guh.... G-Go.... You can go! The rabbit I met on the beautiful starry night...... I¡¯ll name you Shooting Star.¡±
¡ºHey, child!¡»
Before I knew it, something came up, and I let the rabbit that I caught go.
The moment I lowered it to the ground, the rabbit dashed down to the other two, and without looking back at me, the three of them went deep into the forest....
¡°Be strong... and, get along with your family.... Shooting Star Family...¡±
¡ºYou let it gooooooooooo!!¡»
At that moment, even though he couldn¡¯t touch me, Tre¡¯ainar struck me with his arm prating my head.
¡°Well, because...¡±
¡ºBecause nothing! What was that? Being kind?! Are you aware that tis the ultimate hypocrisy to show such half-hearted welfare to animals, even though you are not a vegetarian?¡»
¡°...... I-I know....¡±
¡ºYou know not! Are you sure? Tis natural in the animal kingdom to be caught by the strong and be sustenance. Survival of the fittest, such is the way, is it not?¡»
¡°...............¡±
¡ºWar is the same, is it not? That is how the human race won the right to survive.¡»
No, yes. I know.
But I just... Family...... if it gets caught and I noticed......
¡ºDear me... with this, I worry for the future...... in the end, all you could yield were mare mushrooms .... Uh!¡»
It was then.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar, who was preaching to me, suddenly nced deep into the forest with a scary face.
I¡¯m trying to guess what¡¯s going on, but I still don¡¯t know.
¡º...... Hey...... child.¡»
¡°?¡±
¡º...... A little unexpected...... something dangerous that cannot be eaten.... seems he was in this forest.¡»
¡°Eh?!¡±
And the next moment, the trees in the forest shook and felt a sign of ¡®something¡¯ approaching little by little with a noise.
At the same time...... I heard the sound of something crashing ¡®three times¡¯.
TL Notes
So in case you missed it, manga has been released. And yeah tried scating the first chapter myself, couldn¡¯t do it. Can¡¯t find a way to property rip the text to trante it. None of the ORC apps I tried could cut it so had to give that up. Bummer! Unless anyone can make a transcript and send it to me...... Any takers? Well you can check out the Raw of the first chapter [here].
And we¡¯ll be meeting a new character soon. Was wondering how to handle it. A big part of the series is cultural diversity, which is why I try to have Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s dialogue be so different from everyone else. With the world opening up we¡¯ll met a lot of different people and their ways. I¡¯d like to make their dialogues unique but I might not be able to pull it off. Still what do you think? Let me know and see y¡¯all for the next one!
Chapter 47 – Preconceptions
Chapter 47 ¨C Preconceptions
Tranted by: Sads07
I look deep into the forest.
At first, I couldn¡¯t tell because of the gloom of the night, but I could see arge ck mass slowly approaching me.
I don¡¯t know what it is yet.
But one thing I know is... Huge!
Its shadow is like arge boulder in the forest, and yet it is...... bipedal!?
¡°...... What is it?¡±
¡ºOi, child... cease your stupor... prepare to move with haste.¡»
¡°O-Osu...¡±
¡ºDo not be careless. Be ready to activate the breakthrough at any time.¡»
Even Tre¡¯ainar warns me to stay vignt.
I know.
As long as you enter the forest with the beast, you¡¯re next to something dangerous.
A beast of that size.... a bear?
No..... What? The shape of the shadow has finallye to light. Hmm? You know, aren¡¯t there two sharp corners that extend from the head?
¡°Are you... a human?¡±
It spoke!?
¡°It¡¯ste, what¡¯re you doing here?¡±
No way, human? No, it¡¯s not. But it can talk to people......
¡°Wh-What?¡±
And the identity of the huge approaching mass was finally revealed.
Red-ckish skin over its whole body.
It has a furry waist wrap, but everything else is exposed.
The big mass is not obese, butposed of huge bulging steel muscles all over.
The two horns extending from the head are a sign of a deformity.
And, a bag which contains ¡®Something¡¯ is carried on its shoulder.
¡ºThis... it¡¯s an Ogre.¡»
¡°Eh?!¡±
At Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, tension rose all over my body.
Among the demons, it is said that it is a ferocious race with high fighting ability.
Intelligence is not so high, but possessed enough supernatural power to make up for it. I heard that they always stood on the front line during the war of tens of years ago, gued the Allied forces, and attacked a lot of towns and nations.
In a sense, for humanity, they are popr and scary demons.
¡°I see, where¡¯s yer home... kid?¡±
Also, the other reason why they are most feared and hated.
Its merciless cruelty.
¡®I¡¯ve heard¡¯ that nonbatants, such as women and children, are also brutally ughtered and vited in the cities they have conquered.
¡°Could it be, you lost?¡±
It looked a little surprised at my appearance, but it was approaching.
What am I doing? Can¡¯t lose my never here!
¡°D-Don¡¯te any closer!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
¡°I might be a kid, but... you¡¯re not looking down on me, are you?¡±
I was stunned for a while, but when Tre¡¯ainar told me to ¡®move with haste¡¯ I braced myself right away.
While taking a step, I assumed the stance of the Great Demon Flicker.
Even if I do, can the Flicker prate this guy¡¯s bulging brawny muscles?
No, then I¡¯ll lead it around with my speed.
Against those with pointless gargantuan bodies, it is best to take them on with speed......
¡°H-Hey, c-calm yer spewing! Oh, I won¡¯t do nothing!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Really, don¡¯t make such a scary face!¡±
What the hell? Suddenly, the Ogre with an impatient expression, is trying to calm me down?
This is no joke! Is it trying to get me off guard? Are you going to eat me?
Either way, not even a filthy ogre.... with my Breakthrough...
¡ºWait... child...... this is a tad peculiar.¡»
¡¸Ah! What are you talking about?¡¹
¡ºThis ogre... does it truly intend to fight? I feel no evil intent....¡»
¡¸Huh? Hey, the opponent is an ogre, right? Can you believe it?¡¹
¡ºNo... But this is...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar is holding his mouth from beside me, but only at this point, I couldn¡¯t trust it right away.
The existence of a ¡®demon¡¯ other than Tre¡¯ainar that I¡¯m meeting for the first time.
It¡¯s the infamous Ogre tribe.
I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re in a ce like this, but I don¡¯t know if I can stay calm.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s it. Well, yer hungry and frustrated, aren¡¯t you? Then, I¡¯ll let you stay in the house. Hmm, I¡¯ll feed you even!¡±
¡°Oh? Are you taking me lightly? I won¡¯t fall for such words? What? Are you going to fatten me up?¡±
¡°Eat. N-Not that! You, human, yer eating! Oh, I don¡¯t do nothing bad ta humans!¡±
What do I do? Strike preemptively for a swift victory? If I get caught like that, it¡¯s over.
Or escape with a breakthrough......
¡ºHey, child... listen when I talk.¡»
¡°Eh?!¡±
That was then.
The intense angry words from Tre¡¯ainar, who was by my side, made me think he was scarier than the ogre in front of me.
¡°Huh... ah....?¡±
Why did Tre¡¯ainar get so angry? I didn¡¯t know what was going on.
¡°W-Why...¡±
¡ºI told you. This ogre is... it really has no will to fight. There are no evil intentions either. Child, you worry me, being so purely lost.¡»
¡°But¡±
¡ºOr you... never having seen it before with your own eyes ...do you judge the existence of this ogre purely on the prejudice of ¡®People¡¯ you have not seen with your own eyes?¡»
Don¡¯t judge only by preconceptions.
Sure, I¡¯m meeting an ogre for the first time and I¡¯ve only heard about the dangers through rumors.
And now, for me to regard it like that, Tre¡¯ainar...
¡ºHey, child. Do you not know?¡»
¡°...... Eh?¡±
¡ºJust a few hours ago... a man who can only see himself under the title of son of a hero.... was insulted as a disqualified warrior with regards to the circumstances only for using the technique of the Great Demon King.... do you not know that there was such a sad man?¡»
¡°!!??¡±
¡ºAnd here... is a person who can only be seen as a member of the ¡®Ogre¡¯ race, though it shows concern for you and it is kind. Well...... what do you think?¡»
The moment I heard those words, my face became hot and I was ashamed of myself.
That¡¯s right.
I was fed up with everyone seeing me only with the title ¡®Son of the hero¡¯ and now I¡¯m dealing with the guy who has no ill will or evil spirit that appeared in front of me only by the race of ¡®Ogre¡¯.
It¡¯s not just my father, my mom, or the people of the Imperial City.
Shamelessly, I had the same narrow heart as everyone....
¡°Oooooooh, gah!!!!¡±
¡°Oh, a-are you okay?¡±
I was so ashamed that I was hitting my head against a tree right next to me.
¡°Lame... I¡¯m so naive.... absolutelyme...¡±
If Tre¡¯ainar hadn¡¯t told me, I wouldn¡¯t have noticed. I could not help feeling annoyed with myself.
¡¸Sorry... for sure...... I was wrong.... Tre¡¯ainar...¡¹
¡ºOh, having apologized, I will not think too much of it....¡»
With that said, Tre¡¯ainar smiled gently at my apology and waved to the ogre in front of me with his chin.
I got it.
To be honest, I don¡¯t know what this guy is, why he¡¯s here, or if he¡¯s really worried about me.
But still, first of all, without a strange preconception...... no, it is the first demon I¡¯m meeting for real. It might be impossible to connect with the other party on friendly terms so suddenly, and honestly it¡¯s scary.
Maybe if I get careless, he can crush me in an instant just by grabbing my head. Break my neck bone. He looks that strong.
But first, I go towards the ogre who¡¯s worried about me....
¡°I-I¡¯m sorry... all of a sudden, I was yelling at you.... you¡¯re right, I¡¯m lost, I¡¯m hungry, I¡¯ve had a lot of things.... no..... I was simply a narrow-minded idiot, so I said all that.... My bad...... Forgive me.¡±
With my head bleeding a little, I bowed to the ogre in front of me.
I usually don¡¯t bow to people very often, but at this point I knew that ¡®no matter how anyone sees me, I¡¯m in the wrong¡¯.
Then, the ogre in front of me......
¡°Yeah, but I¡¯m not like that. Well, I¡¯m an ogre, so people can¡¯t not be afraid. It happens.¡±
At first, the terrifying Ogre¡¯s expression showed me a full smile, as if he was a daring neighbor.
With a smile that made me feel something, I was shaken and at the same time I felt more ashamed.
¡°It¡¯s realte today. Come ta the house. I¡¯ll show you how ta get ta town in the morning!¡±
¡°Ah... Oh.¡±
¡°Really, hehehe. Human, I was inviting you ta the house anyways. Well, I just got some ¡®meat¡¯ a while ago, so let¡¯s eat it.¡±
That said, the ogre not only forgave me, but he¡¯ll try to help me.
Looking at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s face next to me, he nodded without saying anything.
¡°Well, what¡¯s yer name, human.¡±
¡°Name? I..... Earth.¡±
¡°Earth. Earth... yer a good guy.¡±
¡°...... What? Why?¡±
¡°Oh, people I¡¯ve met so far, they¡¯re all scared. But I believed in Earth. Ah, I¡¯m d ta be friendly with a human!¡±
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop ... I was being extremely hostile, me.
This ogre...... a ridiculously nice guy.... eh? Is this really an ogre?
¡°Oh well, Aka. I¡¯m called Aka Naiter. Nice to meet you, Earth.¡±
It doesn¡¯t feel like I¡¯m in contact with a different tribe.
No, it¡¯s much better than those guys who know me only as ¡®the son of a hero¡¯. It was full of human kindness.
That was the encounter between me and the strange ogre, Aka.
TL Note:
I hope Aka¡¯s dialogue wasn¡¯t too distracting. Figure I¡¯d throw some Hillbilly in there to make him different.
Chapter 48 – The Ogre’s Hospitality
Chapter 48 ¨C The Ogre¡¯s Hospitality
Tranted by: Sads07
In the middle of nowhere..... rather, it was more like a hideout.
There was a small open space beyond the dense forest.
There was a house made of wood there.
¡°It¡¯s a small house. Earth, is little, so it should be good.¡±
¡°I-Is that right. But, little is too much.¡±
It¡¯s a huge ogre¡¯s house, so certainly the doors and the height of the building are big.
And, there were some fields around the house, and the hoes and so on for the farm work were bigger than my body.
¡°...... Mr. Aka, do you live alone?¡±
¡°Aah, I live alone.¡±
Alone. Apparently. He¡¯spletely self-sufficient.
Well, there are animals in the forest, and if I can grow vegetables like this, I wonder if I can live alone.
¡°By the way, Earth... what¡¯s ¡®Mistah¡¯ Aka?¡±
¡°Huh? No..... what....¡±
What the heck? Is it weird to have ¡®Mr.¡¯?
¡°I mean, by all appearance I can only see you as a senior, and to discard it feels a bit awkward to me... oh, speaking in a polite manner is better than casual talk....¡±
He might be gentle, but I don¡¯t have the courage to refer this strong ogre casually.... let¡¯s not do that.
¡ºIf you assume to use ¡®Mr.¡¯ for those of higher station, why do you neglect it in my case?¡»
¡¸...... ah.... no..... so, is Mr. Tre¡¯ainar better?¡¹
¡º............ No, tis adequate as is. We are past the point to standing on formality.... Eerie! You acting so reserved at thiste hour leave me feeling eerie!¡»
Then don¡¯t say that. Well, I also don¡¯t feel right when I call out ¡®Mr. Tre¡¯ainar¡¯ at this point, so I¡¯m saved.
¡°Mr. Aka... That¡¯s good. Mr. Aka... Yes, I like it.¡±
sping his hands together, Mr. Aka was satisfied with how he was referred to by a junior, or should I say somewhat delightfullyughing.
¡°I like this honorific. Well, make yerself at home. Now, I¡¯ll make a meal!¡±
That said, Aka let me into the room.
There isn¡¯t much furniture.
But there¡¯s an open kitchen, a decking desk and chair in the middle of the room, and on over it there¡¯s a carved wooden statue and stone decorations.
¡°This... This is...¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s poor, if I say so.¡±
¡°No... it¡¯s okay, but...... is this Aka¡¯s handmade work??¡±
¡°Uh huh. I¡¯ve made a lotta things when I y around in my free time.¡±
A little embarrassed, Mr. Aka was fumbling his words.
However, this goddess statue or something.... I mean, it¡¯s kind of borate. The quality is...... amazing.
The gentle expression that makes you feel the motherhood of the beautiful goddess, each feather on the angelic wings on her back are finely detailed... he even reproduced the wrinkles of clothes and so on...... how do you carve this with such blunt fingers? Or, is she the demon¡¯s goddess? No, it may be prejudiced, but......
¡°If you like it, I¡¯ll give it to you if you want.¡±
¡°N-No, no, no, I don¡¯t mean to...¡±
By any chance, did he think I was greedy eyed?
But as I denied it in a hurry, Aka, who stood in the kitchen, became a bit despondent....
¡°Oh... it¡¯s bad isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°To ept this... you can¡¯t right?¡±
No, huh? What? Is it a shock that I didn¡¯t ept?
However, maybe it¡¯s etiquette to ept when he says ¡®I¡¯ll give it¡¯ or something like that....
¡ºDo not hesitate, take it, child.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar!?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar muttered in my ear, now I¡¯m confused.
¡ºThis Aka ogre might have lived isted from others. As such, he is d to have someone receive something.¡»
¡¸What? He¡¯s happy to be kind to people and give things.... Is there such a guy?¡¹
¡ºTis not so... I believe he is d when others are appreciative. When people appreciate you... tis like having them recognize your existence.¡»
Is it like that? Are you d to be appreciated by others?
I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve been... I¡¯ve never been thanked for my existence.... But I guess that¡¯s a way to be acknowledged, too.
¡¸But is it okay? Don¡¯t you think I¡¯ll look greedy?¡¹
¡ºWell, it may depend on the person, but speaking of this Aka fellow...¡»
To be honest, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve met him. How do you gain something on top of that when you take care of everything from room to meal?
No, but it¡¯s what Trainer says, and Aka is a bit embarrassed.
¡°Well, then... I wonder if I¡¯ll get this stone ne...¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
Certainly, the statue is borate. However, even if you receive such a thing, it would be bulky.
In that respect, if it is a stone carved ne, it is easy to carry, and he will not think that I am greedy because it is small....
¡°Sure sure. You can have it! See that shelf ov¡¯r there? The nes are there! Take as many as you like!¡±
¡°N-No, just one... ah, no.... you have so many pieces to disy.¡±
¡°Sorry!¡±
It was true. The moment I said I would take it, Akaughed so joyfully.
Now he started working in the kitchen with a humming song.
¡°Well, I¡¯ll make a meal then.¡±
That said, Aka was in the kitchen. Kitchen knife? Isn¡¯t that a big sword? No..... It¡¯s as big as Rebal¡¯s Bastard Sword.
And I was surprised...
¡°Hmm, hmmfu-¡°
So fast! And, lively! He took ¡®something¡¯ out of the bag he had a while ago and prepared ¡®it¡¯ really fast.
In an instant, he plucked the feathers.... is it meat?
¡ºHmm. That is....¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡º...... pfft... truly...... unexpected...... to say the least....¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be thinking of something, but I don¡¯t know what it was.
And, Mr. Aka immediately threw what he was working on into a huge frying pan and lit the fire.
It¡¯s meat.
Oh no... the smell is so good......
¡°Oh... Gulp...¡±
My throat rang involuntarily.
In addition, Aka takes out some of the vegetables from the basket on the kitchen floor and cuts them out.
What¡¯s that...... it¡¯s exciting, but...... but it¡¯s not messy. Rather, there is a glimpse of civility.
I¡¯ve watched Sadiz cook a few times, and I get a different impression when she¡¯s cooking urately without any waste, but this is....
¡°Hmm-hm-hm ?¡±
Oooh, it¡¯s sizzling, right? Is that it?
Such hospitality, will you suddenly serve steak?
¡°Well, Earth, will you eat rice, too?¡±
¡°Eh, this, rice?¡±
With such super savory fragrance that makes you eat this deadly food, you want to add more rice?
¡°Yes, yes. If you wanna eat it.¡±
¡°I see. Then, let¡¯s fry the rice with the gravy served in the meat grilled...¡±
Eeeeeeeeeeek! I surrendeeeeeeeeeeerrr! Is there justiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!??
¡°Heave-ho, heave-ho, now go on, eat up.¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
Oh, ooooh, s-steak, boned meat, grilled rice, sd tter... ah...... fish...... oooooooh!
No, no, don¡¯t be a glutton. I was told not to behave badly.... well, I¡¯ll put my hands together, but, uh, the steam is on my nose... hah.
¡°Well, then, I dly ept this meal... Gab...¡±
I¡¯m all over the fried meat....!
¡°W-What the hell is thiiiiiiis?¡±
I feel the juice that came out at the same time as the crisp texture explode in my mouth.
No, no good, savor the taste, that one? That? Before long, I¡¯ve only got bones!
¡°I-I can¡¯t believe it, wh-what is this?¡±
What? This? Cow? Birds? Pork? It¡¯s different, and it¡¯s a little bit wild, no, but this is such foul-y!
¡°Oh... uh, Earth. Yer surprised...my cooking is too bad...?¡±
What¡¯s that? Hey, what¡¯s that troubled face?
What? You¡¯re an unmindful bastard, aren¡¯t you?
What¡¯s that uneasy face?
Just like Fu, who showed powerful magic with a small face and said, ¡°Are you so surprised that my magic power is so weak?¡± What¡¯s this!
¡°Oh... oooooooooh!¡±
This steak, wow, the meal! Rice, rice, riiiiiiiiiiice!
¡°Th-This is foul-y, it¡¯s d-delicious!¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°Oh no, don¡¯t, don¡¯t cry now!¡±
Until now, when I got home, I didn¡¯t have to ask for anything.
Speaking to Sadiz in advance, she made whatever I wanted.
But I can¡¯t do that from today.
I ran from home, forced to self-sufficiency, gathered mushrooms, and finally ran around trying to catch Shooting Star only to set him free out of sympathy. I was hungry, frustrated, and I never thought I would eat anything decent in my situation. This banquet is unfair.
I can¡¯t stop my tears anymore.
¡°It¡¯s delicious, so good, it¡¯s good, Mr. Aka...¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. Oh, there¡¯s still more tae! It¡¯s the first time someone says it¡¯s delicious! Thank you, Earth!¡±
So why are you thanking me, you bastard!
My words didn¡¯te out due to tears, so I nodded many times.
¡º...... Behave yourself... and be grateful for your life, child. In any form... the flesh, is life...... because it became a part of you.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was saying something difficult, but I just got hooked and ate the meat.
¡°Earth, would you also like some soup?¡±
It is no use moving my mouth except to eat.
Instead of answering with my mouth, I sent a peace sign to Aka with all my heart.
Then, Aka was actually delighted, and returned a peace sign while a little embarrassed.
The ogre¡¯s piece sign was pretty surreal.
Author¡¯s Note
I will always be indebted to you.
I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t return my impressions easily.
I¡¯m watching it all, but it takes time and patience to give it back....
Aside from that, I saw the impression column of the previous story, and tilted my head.
Maybe you¡¯re reading too deeply about tragedy and dark developments.
I met on a night with lots of stars. So, shooting star.
The ¡®red¡¯ demon who met in the middle of the ¡®night¡¯. That¡¯s why, Aka Naiter.
Excuse me...... What do you expect from Aka????
Still, more than 60,000 drills. Thank you, everyone.
Once again, thanks for the support. And I really hope everyone is safe and healthy. As a bonus, yatta! (sorry for the cringe ??)
Anyway, [I scated the first chapter of the manga] (insert praise effect). Thank you, thank you but unfortunately I have bad news. I¡¯m not going to do anymore (insert boos and hisses). Sorry but it¡¯s a lot for just one dude, especially a noob like me. Hopefully it¡¯ll garner attention from others enough for a pro group to pick it up (do spam your favorites with requests).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and share it around. Till the weekend!

Chapter 49 ¨C The Past Doesn¡¯t Matter.
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Burp... what a meal!¡±
Not good, I ate every dish one after another as they came out.
I couldn¡¯t hold back, I was in a trance and greedily devoured it all.
I¡¯ve licked even the juice that was left on the te.
¡°Yeah, yeah. I¡¯m d ya ate plenty. Now, have some tea and rx.¡±
Saying that, Mr. Aka, full and calm, and even a warm tea.... No, I¡¯m not afraid of ogres anymore.
No, the horns were growing on me.
Well, his face is scary, but he¡¯s so kind.
No, the war is over now.
¡°Thank you... really...... you saved me, Aka.¡±
¡°Huh. If ya say it like that, thank ya.¡±
No, that logic is strange! I wanted to put out that retort a hundred times over, but Mr. Aka seemed really happy, so instead Iughed and nodded.
¡°It¡¯s a good dish, Mr. Aka.¡±
¡°Is that so? Oh, I¡¯ve been cooking for over ten years, so I¡¯m good at it. But this was the first time I had someone ta feed, so I was a little nervous.¡±
While having a sip of tea, I asked a little about Aka¡¯s statement.
¡°More than a decade? Mr. Aka... Have you lived here this whole time?¡±
¡°Uh huh!¡±
¡°Why?¡±
The flow of the story was simple and interesting.
¡°......that¡¯s...¡±
Ah, but this may be a ¡®would rather not answer¡¯ situation.
I suppose so, considering Aka seemed a little sad and somewhat dismayed at my question.
¡º...... Most likely a former soldier... he may have been a part of some unit. I do not know though.¡»
¡¸Eh! Tre¡¯ainar?!¡¹
¡ºOgres are basically robust, but... his atmosphere is better than the regr ogre¡¯s.¡»
No, Tre¡¯ainar... If you knew that, say it sooner....
¡ºWell, does it matter? You said it yourself...... no, the war is over.¡»
¡¸Nuu...¡¹
¡ºOr are you concerned about the war that ended before you were born?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar turns a nasty grin at me.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar... are you? Do you enjoy throwing back people¡¯s remarks like a boomerang?¡¹
¡ºIndeed, well, who knows?¡»
In such situations, he points out what I thought or said.
He¡¯s a pretty good character, the Great Demon King.
Then......
¡°Mr. Aka, by the way, I... I ran away from home.¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
I was pretty forceful, but I said it to Aka in a loud cheerful voice.
¡°R-Ran away. What for? Aren¡¯t yer family worried about ya? Why, Earth?¡±
As expected, the gentle Aka is worried about me and asks so.
That¡¯s why I...
¡°Secret~¡±
¡°...... Eh...¡±
¡°So, well, people¡¯s past doesn¡¯t matter, right?¡±
I¡¯ll keep it a secret, so if you don¡¯t want to talk about yourself, you don¡¯t have to.
Then, Mr. Aka also read my true intentions....
¡°Hmm!¡±
I mean, throwing up a peace sign...... Huh?
¡°No, no, Mr. Aka, the peace sign is strange there!¡±
¡± Eh? No? Oh, I¡¯m likin this!¡±
¡°Oh, Mr. Aka...¡±
Friendly. However, that might be a little out of ce. This fellow. Man? Man-ish? Decent demonic man.
¡°Earth, yer amazing.¡±
¡°What? Me? Why?¡±
¡°Why, I... I want ta make friends with people, but I¡¯m scared. Humans find me scary. But, Earth, isn¡¯t scared of me. That¡¯s amazing.¡±
Not scared? No, I was scared when we first met.
But, well, so much happened in a short time, and I was able to have a meal, and....
¡°Well, I was certainly scared, but now you¡¯re just one of the ogres.¡±
¡± I-Is that so?¡±
¡± Ah! In the end¡ª.¡±
Yes, I¡¯m... the son of a hero? Wrong.
¡°Though I look like this, I¡¯m a disciple of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar ?¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
Or, by the way, the Great Demon King, the strongest known demon in the history of the world, is right beside me,pared to that.... No way?
¡°Oh, Earth, amusing! Ya tell such funny jokes! It¡¯s great.¡±
¡°...... No, i-is that so. Hahaha, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯m saying it too.¡±
I¡¯m still not sure about the line to praise, but it¡¯s fine. I also received it thankfully andughed.
¡°Earth... Well, this is the first time I¡¯ve talked ta a human like this.¡±
¡°Well, I didn¡¯t think I could talk to Ogre like this either.¡±
So weughed at each other again.
And after a fewughs, Mr. Aka¡¯s expression turned a little serious.
¡°Hey, Earth. Would ya tell me more about humans?¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°Well, I wanna make friends with people, but I don¡¯t know how ta make friends.¡±
Coming here, I got asked a little unexpected question.
¡°Mr. Aka... do you want to make friends with humans?¡±
¡°Well, I do.... one person at a time.... making friends.... having fun, ying games, having them over for a meal... ah, like that.¡±
Aka¡¯s eyes and words were pure, and I knew he meant it.
And, it¡¯s the right moment to ask, right?
Why would Aka want to make friends with humans?
But in order to do that, I have to teach him how to make friends first.
Well, it¡¯s not like I mind, and I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal.
¡°How to make friends? You don¡¯t have to think that way. Friends are...¡±
How do you make friends?
If I tell you, it¡¯s my example.
How did I make friends once...
¨C Earth, I¡¯m a princess. You¡¯re my retainer You belong to me. You¡¯ll always be mine!
The Princess...... I don¡¯t call her a friend.
Well, what about Rebal? Or Fu?
Something I noticed, how should I put it...... Well, we were already ying together at the time, whether or not they were real friends, so rather than being a close friend, I¡¯m a childhood friend.
That reference isn¡¯t helpful.
That being the case, in addition....
¨C Hey, you¡¯re Earth, right? I¡¯m Glyph! To be acquainted with the son of a hero, the heroes style is my¡ª
That¡¯s not the same. Not in particr. Well, we¡¯re not friends.
What else? You know, the other honor student group......
¨C After the change of seats, I¡¯ll be...... here? Nice to meet you.
¨C Ah, Earth!? No, way, I-I¡¯m next to Earth!?? Fu~eeeh, ah ah ah ah, ki~yu!
¨C Gyaah, Coman turned red and passed out!?
¨C Oh, Coman, it¡¯s a pity you copsed. But if you¡¯re against being next to Earth enough to faint, I¡¯ll take your ce. yes! It¡¯s my duty as a princess!
There¡¯s a time they hated just sitting next to me so much that they would faint!
I mean, because of the ¡®empty seat substitution¡¯ or something, the princess would raise her hand and sit next to me, and from there she would keep on lecturing me.... that girl? So weird. I wonder why water kept falling out of my eyes?
That? If I were to ssify childhood friends as childhood friends, not as friends, was I friends with them?
Oh, I¡¯m...In fact, except for the title ¡®The Son of the Hero¡¯......I¡¯m really...No one...
¡°ying games with humans... ah, Mr. Aka. On the shelf there. Is that a Go Board(Sengo)?¡¹ [1] [S1]
¡°Oh... yeah yeah.¡±
I found a board on the shelf and a stone carved with various marks.
It is one of the most popr board games no matter how you look at it.
It is a game to secure your territory while destroying the opponent¡¯s with the stone of the general, the captain, the soldier, and various sses.
I y with Sadiz once in a while, and I¡¯m always getting stomped, but......
¡°All right, we¡¯ll talkter. Let¡¯s have a game, Aka!¡±
¡°R-Really!? Ya wanna y with me!?¡±
¡°Ah. Instead, go easy on me!¡±
¡°Uh huh. Let¡¯s do it now!¡±
¡°Heheh. Can you y Go, Mr. Aka?¡±
¡°I know the rules. Honeyborough, a town at the foot of the mountain, is famous for Go, and I wanted ta visit the town someday.¡±
¡°Oh yeah...... eh? Honeyborough Within a few hours, I came pretty far away....¡±
¡°Oh, Just in time. There¡¯s a festival at this time of year, and a Go tournament in town.¡±
As if to shake off a slightly sad experience, I decided to y with Aka to brighten the mood.
And then...
¡ºHoh... Go.... so nostalgic.... fidget, fidget...¡»
It seems Tre¡¯ainar was itching for something, but I didn¡¯t particrly mind it this time.
[S1] [Go] is an abstract strategy board game for two yers, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent.

I yed Go with Aka until quitete. And when I went to bed, before I knew it, it was morning in an instant.
However, the sleep was insufficient.
As expected, a lot happened yesterday.
The battle with Rebal. The falling out with father and the Empire.
And, meeting Mr. Aka.
¡°Earth... like I said, from here go straight and you¡¯lle across the river. And if you follow the river straight down towards the mountains, you¡¯ll reach the town.¡±
Unlike me, Aka looked extremely drowsy.
Perhaps it¡¯s the first time he¡¯s yed sote at night.
The sleepy ogre was funny, and Iughed.
However, while rubbing his drowsy eyes, he seemed somewhat lonely....
¡°Earth... are you ready ta go?¡±
Well, I¡¯m going.
I don¡¯t have a specific objective, nor do I have a clear destination in mind yet.
However, for the time being, I wanted to leave the ¡®Imperial Territory¡¯.
Although, right on the heels of yesterday, I¡¯m bound to be chased by extra baggage.
Nheless......
¡°Hey, Mr. Aka. Is there anything you want from town?¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°I can buy you something before I leave. Mr. Aka really took care of me.¡±
I can¡¯t be so carefree forever. I¡¯m so greatly indebted to Mr. Aka it was disappointing that I couldn¡¯t do much to thank him.
And, seems it¡¯s difficult for Mr. Aka to go to a human town, so I asked if there was something he wanted there.
Then, Mr. Aka...... why are your eyes moist?
¡°Earth, yer a really nice guy, and I¡¯m so d we met.¡±
For the first time in my life, I saw ¡®tears in the eyes of a real demon¡¯.
¡°It¡¯s no big deal. Anything is fine. Books, furniture, anything.¡±
I¡¯ll buy you anything. When I said that, Aka was a little worried....
¡°Hmm... cake, I wanna eat that.¡±
¡°............¡±
Mr. Aka, who does not know how to joke, only tells the truth.
So this isn¡¯t a gag.
It¡¯s true.
¡°The cake that humans make, I want a taste of it. If I can make it, people may be interested in it. So, try eating it first.¡±
You canugh and cry a little, but don¡¯t show it to your face.
Well, Mr. Aka is really pure.
¡°Wow. Well, I¡¯ll go to the town, I¡¯ll make a lot of preparations for a trip, so I¡¯ll buy a cake and stop here again.¡±
¡°Ah!!¡±
Nodding to my words, Mr. Aka made a peace sign.
No, you like that already?
Seems it¡¯s just a sign between us, but it¡¯s fine I guess.
I smiled and returned the peace sign to Aka.
And I forgot something important.
I didn¡¯t have a penny in the first ce.
¡°Hunter Registration? Young but an Academy Graduated Warrior?¡±
¡°Oh, no... I didn¡¯t graduate yet.... I dropped out.¡±
¡°If you haven¡¯t graduated yet, you¡¯ll be registered as frencer. If that¡¯s all right, give me your identification.¡±
¡°My, identification...¡±
Then, when I reached the town, I went to a guild that was also a hangout for hunters as well as a bar and the likes. I was penniless but as a hunter I could earn money quickly.
If you go to a guild that can be called the Employment Security Office in any big town, you¡¯ll have a means to make money.
But I realized that having not graduated from the Academy yet, I wouldn¡¯t be a regr hunter with national support as an Imperial Warrior, so I could only be the sort of frence hunter under day to day employment who is entirely self-managed and nothing else.
Still, I thought it would be fine, but I found out that bing a frence hunter also required identification, so I was at a loss.
¡°Ah, well, can¡¯t we work something out? I don¡¯t care if I wash the dishes or anything else, and if I could introduce something without registering....¡±
¡°That¡¯s no good. The guild only introduces work to registered hunters, both state warriors and frence people.¡±
¡°Guh... seriously...¡±
¡°Yes, so show me your ID.¡±
I ran away from home, and I don¡¯t have that now.
Even if I did, that information would reach the Imperial City when I was registered.
All the same, if someone gets ess to ¡®Earth Lagann¡¯s¡¯ registration, my whereabouts would be found out.
I mean, if I don¡¯t want that, then I can¡¯t even be a hunter.
¡°Well, without requests... not going through the guild, find someone in need, and apply directly...... ¡°
¡°Better drop that.¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
At the guild reception, someone was calling out from behind me.
Looking back, there was a man in his twenties with long ck hair tied to the back of his head.
¡°There are rules for hunters who are said to be synonymous with freedom. People who break the rules...... for example, people who do ¡®underworld market¡¯ dealings are despised.¡± [1] [S1]
It was not only one person standing.
¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t do illegal stuff behind the scenes because you¡¯re hard up for money.¡±
¡°Shady dealings are no good.¡±
¡°Some of them have anti-state employers. You should avoid ck market business.¡±
It was about ten men, and the atmosphere around them was a little different from a usual person¡¯s.
¡°Well, if you¡¯re not going to register, why don¡¯t you move along? We came to find a job.¡±
Certainly the grumbling and fuss being raised behind me made the situation awkward, so I quickly backed down.
¡°We¡¯re a Frence hunter team. I¡¯m Fuma, the leader. I¡¯d like to see a list of quests being introduced now.¡±
¡°Okay¡±
In the end, the guild receptionist¡¯s attention also moved from me to the mister who came from behind.
I thought that it might not be good even if I persisted, so I decided to give up and leave.
¡¸It¡¯s risky.... earning money by getting rid of monsters and viins. It feels just like an adventure, but I can¡¯t even do that.¡¹
¡ºWhen setting out on a journey, to not even be able to be hunter, a staple of fundraising... that was unexpected.¡»
¡¸My Identification... sorry.¡¹
¡ºTis troubling. At this rate...... will you even be able to procure books?¡»
After turning away from the guild, I walked down the town¡¯s main street while hanging my head.
This is the town at the foot of the mountain, Honeyborough.
Surrounded by abundant nature, it is like a stopover between the other side of the mountain and the Imperial capital.
As a result, cultures and people from other countries are intermingled, and although not as huge as the Imperial City, they are full of vigor and prosperity.
Apparently, they don¡¯t seem to know of me yet.
And, as Mr. Aka said, they are having a little event all over the town at the moment.
That is......
¡°Yes, that¡¯s the game. In the 136th hand, victory goes to Insei by forfeit!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Wooooooooohh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Hundreds of people gathered and many desks and chairs were lined up in a square located in the center of the town.
There, many children faced each other with serious expressions. They are facing each other in multiple showdowns of Go, the game Aka and I yedst night.
¡ºHmm. Hey, child... this is....¡»
¡¸Oh, Mr. Aka told us. It¡¯s a Go tournament.¡¹
The g stood in the za, and on it was written, ¡®15th Sister City Exchange Children¡¯s Go Tournament¡¯.
There were a lot of children younger than me, who still didn¡¯t seem to be ten years old, but everyone looked serious. And around them, their parents were watching over them with a very excited air.
¡ºHmm.... It was not so before the war, but here Go is thriving.¡»
¡¸Eh? Ah, this is a transit point between the Imperial City and othernds, and people from other countries are alsoing in. Races and cultures might be different, but I think we got along well through Go, a board gamemon to humanity.¡¹
¡ºHmm...¡»
¡¸And I¡¯ve heard that this town is a sister city of ¡®Ounomichi City¡¯ in the ¡®Kingdom of Japone¡¯, the country where Go originated, or so I¡¯ve heard.¡¹
¡ºOh... I see... you are familiar with that.¡»
¡¸Well, it¡¯s also a part of the history test... when I was a kid, I met some people from that country who came to a party in the Imperial City.¡¹
Even so, I¡¯m not that interested in Go itself.
I¡¯ve never got into it with Sadiz when we yed, so I don¡¯t take it so seriously, and I¡¯m not a strong yer.
Well, Mr. Aka was too weak, so I managed it yesterday....
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar. Do you know Go, too?¡¹
¡ºBy heart, Go is popr even amongst demons.¡»
¡¸Oh, is that so?¡¹
¡ºOf course. To begin with, Go is a game with a history of more than 1,000 years. It used to be called ¡®The Demon King Game¡¯.¡»
¡¸No way... I mean, if the Demon King ys it, anything will be the Demon King Game.¡¹
¡º...... No, well... perhaps, but....¡»
I can¡¯t believe Tre¡¯ainar can y Go. By his speech, might be formidable.
Well, that¡¯s not the point right now.
It¡¯s money, money.
If it stays like this, I can¡¯t afford to go on my trip, let alone a cake.
I don¡¯t want to disappoint Aka, who is looking forward to it, so how to make some money....
¡ºBy the way, child. Are you well versed with the Kingdom of Japone?¡»
¡¸Eh, all of a sudden... Well, like I said, it was in the history test, so to a certain extent.¡¹
¡ºThen, are you familiar with the ¡®Warriors¡¯ of the Kingdom of Japone?¡»
When I was thinking about money, Tre¡¯ainar suddenly asked me.
Warriors from the Kingdom of Japone? I¡¯m not sure of the intent of the question, but if you ask me if I know...
¡¸Sure, they¡¯re swordsmen called ¡®Samurai¡¯, aren¡¯t they? If the ¡®Imperial Knight¡¯ belonged the Empire, the other side would be the ¡®Kingdom Samurai¡¯, I know that much.¡¹
¡ºHmm... then, do you know anything else?¡»
¡¸Eh......? Like the equivalent of the Empire¡¯s hunters.... and mages, right?¡¹
¡ºUm. Anything else?¡»
¡¸What else?¡¹
What? Other than that? Is there anything else?
Something, uh¨C
¡°Ah, that¡¯s 20 straight wins!¡±
¡°That girl, she¡¯s amazing!¡±
At that time, a loud voice was heard a little away from the za.
When I looked back, dozens of men gathered and were surrounding something.
And when I looked into it, I saw a girl sitting across the wall. A man by her side.
And, the desk and the game board were in front of the girl.
¡°Now, is there any other challenger? If you can defeat Shinobu Stoke, a 15-year-old from Japone, you¡¯ll win a prize! Now, are there any more challengers?¡±
The old man who was by the girl¡¯s side was shouting so loudly.
And the girl in question.
Straight long ck hair.
She has a fairly well-formed face, but is as expressionless as a doll.
She seems to be the same age as me, fifteen years old, but dressed in a very unusual outfit.
She wears a ck-d, light-skinned outfit, her left leg exposed with a cut-off skirt, and socks that extend above her knees. It seems to put emphasis on easy ¡®movement¡¯.
Even the skin, it¡¯s white! not a healthy shade, she¡¯s as white as snow.
Her chest is pretty big, too. At the same age as me? Well, is the princess a little bigger?
...... or rather, the cut skirt! Down there, I think it¡¯ll be exposed if you¡¯re careless.
¡°Hey, Kouga. That¡¯s enough.¡±
At that moment, though her face remained expressionless, the woman, with an air of contemtion, called away the older man.
¡± I¡¯ve grasped the level of Go in the empire. We¡¯ve killed time and earned money, but the pathos won¡¯t surge.¡±
¡°Ojou...¡± [2] [S2]
¡°Rather, I, you know, have big breasts, right? Maybe because my outfits are getting more provocative but I can¡¯t stand feeling nauseous and tired from their nasty gaze. Now, let¡¯s join Onii-san. I wish my brother would find a quest that would shine away his boring days.¡±
It¡¯s as if they are looking down on the flocks of men, or the empire.
Well, her boobs are not particrly up there.... when next to a huge pair, like the princess¡¯s.... not to mention if youpare it to Sadiz...
Still, it¡¯s certainly a little irritating.
However, no one among those gathered took up the gentleman¡¯s challenge, seems that woman is very strong.
Then...
¡ºHuh... perhaps you should go for the prize...¡»
The eye of the Great Demon King by my side glowed suspiciously.
[S1] The word used here, 霆ӘI, has multiple iterations. Wasn¡¯t sure which to use, so I used them all...
[S2] The Japone seems to be a stand in for Japanese. So I decided to keep the titles and honorifics whenever they talk. Let me know if it¡¯s bothersome.

Chapter 51 ¨C Overwhelming
Tranted by: Sads07
A bored woman looking down on the world.
Well, it¡¯s none of my business, but......
¡ºChild.¡»
¡¸Hmm. ¡¹
¡ºept that little girl¡¯s challenge.¡»
¡¸...... huh?? ¡¹
¡ºWould the prize not be convenient?¡»
I was about to leave, but Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion surprised me.
¡¸Whoa,e on, what are you talking about? No matter what prize they are dering, she¡¯s a national level talent, isn¡¯t she? I¡¯m not that good at it, no way I¡¯ll win.¡¹
I don¡¯t know how strong she is, but if you¡¯re betting on 20 consecutive wins or a prize, you know she¡¯s a pretty big shot.
For me to beat such an opponent......
¡ºThe child need only engage as I instruct.¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
¡ºIndeed, it is I who shall y.¡»
That proposal left me frozen with my mouth open.
No, that¡¯s right.
¡¸What are you saying, Tre¡¯ainar? Oh, you¡¯re...¡¹
¡ºTis no issue. After all, tis but a small girl. She is no opponent to me.¡»
¡¸No, no, no... But...¡¹
I never thought that Tre¡¯ainar would step up himself.
What¡¯s his state of mind?
¡ºChild. Were it simply to earn meager funds, I would not intervene as tis the child¡¯s trial... but, the circumstances are special this time. For the time being, I wish to reward the ogre for saving the child as the Great Demon King.... if tis to buy a cake and other articles, then I shall assist you.¡»
This is not for me, but for Mr. Aka.
In a way, Tre¡¯ainar, who was once the King of the all Demons, is trying to reward a demon that lives in the present....
¡ºAlso.... much funds would be required if you are to purchase books. Everything you bought was abandoned at your home, was it not?¡»
......that¡¯s the real purpose, isn¡¯t it? But, well...
¡¸Seriously! Still, you have a point.... it sounds interesting.¡¹
I mean, doesn¡¯t it?
I¡¯m the only one who can see him. I¡¯m the only one who can talk to him. I¡¯m the only one here who knows of the existence of The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar.
But in this way, Tre¡¯ainar is trying to show his presence through me.
For a moment, I remembered the mischief of the days of my childhood and was somewhat excited.
¡°I¡¯ll y you!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡± Eh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I raised my hand to the woman and the old man as they were about to leave the stand due tock of challengers.
¡°Oh, oh, this is a manly challenger! Are you sure?¡±
¡°Ah! You¡¯ll give me a prize if I win?¡±
¡°Of course I will. If you win, it¡¯s 100,000 Tsud!¡± [1] [S1]
¡°100,000...¡±
If we win, 100,000 Tsud... given my penniless state, I shouldn¡¯t see it as passable.
It¡¯s less than my one-month allowance, but...what? Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. Why are you reading my mind and looking like, ¡°Wow¡± there?
¡°Hey, brother, you¡¯re brave.¡±
¡°Good luck, man!¡±
Then, spectators gathered around and cheered me on as well.
Laughing bitterly at such voices, I sat face-to-face across the woman,
¡°Are you about my age?¡±
¡°I¡¯m 15¡±
¡°Oh, yes. Citizen of the Empire?¡±
¡°Well, I grew up in Imperial City.¡±
¡°Really ... of the Imperial City ......¡±
Sitting still in front of me, the woman looks me over again with great interest andughs a little... No, why do I get the feeling she¡¯sughing up her nose at me?
Nyaya...... I¡¯ll show you something in your eyes! ......Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Oh, wait a minute, if you intend to challenge ojou, pay 10,000 Tsud.¡±
¡°Huh!? Errr!? You¡¯re taking money!??¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Well, they¡¯re going to bet money on it, so it¡¯s only natural that a challenger¡¯s fee will be taken here as well.
I don¡¯t have 10,000 now.
¡°I don¡¯t mind, Kouga. I can beat a boy of my age, so I¡¯ll provide that much service.¡±
¡°Eh... no, if ojou says so...... but are you sure? If you lose, won¡¯t ojou¡¯s pocket money be gone?¡±
¡°Fu... you¡¯re worried about me. Thank you.¡±
Oh, what¡¯s ¡®Fu¡¯. There¡¯s no way we¡¯re going to lose. That¡¯s how it looks.
¡°Then, the first move is yours. Come on...¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
I¡¯m grateful to you for the service, but I¡¯m so irritated that I¡¯m not sure what to do, Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºHmph... good! Now then...... Upper right corner, stars.¡»
¡¸Osu¡¹
And Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s first move was unleashed through me.
¡°............¡±
Shinobu immediately strikes the second move.
¡ºKomoku (3-4 point) ¡»
Go. The game of conquering territory on the board.
A game in which you destroy your opponent¡¯s defense with your own pieces and expand your territory, preventing and intercepting enemies that attack at the same time.
¡°...... the campaign is a little dated.¡±
¡± Eh?¡±
Shinobu muttered with a slightly thoughtful expression as we talked to each other about a few moves in.
¡ºMy tactics are from fifteen years ago. I suppose this girl is saying ¡®dated¡¯ in that sense.¡»
¡¸Eh? Is that right?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar seems to have understood the true meaning of Shinobu¡¯s muttering. But isn¡¯t that bad?
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s ability is unknown, but his knowledge of Go stopped as of 15 years ago.
Just like civilization, the tactics of Go will change in 15 year.
If so......
¡ºAdvance the first formation forward.¡»
However, it was then....
¡°......!?¡±
After they had yed each other by about a dozen hands, Shinobu opened her eyes and stopped her hands.
¡°...... uh. This is...¡±
And not only stopped.
She leaned forward, looking at the entire board as if she were taking it all in.
Eh? Why? In this early stage?
¡ºFufufu... you want to beat the units that have advanced, but to do so, you will have to break the defensive formation that you are trying toplete in a few more moves. Furthermore, if you send troops to destroy that unit, the troops themselves will be obstacles, and subsequent proper attack formations will not be possible.¡»
Eh? No, why? How can you say that with only a few hands? No, but is it true?
Her eyes were wide open.
¡°...... tch.....¡±
¡ºI wonder. In this situation, I shall y the same move. Your formations have more or less been broken, if you hit the troops now, whatever future move you y, it seems that you can be read perfectly.¡»
Shinobu finally made her next move with a click of her tongue, Trainer nodded with a slightly gentle face, saying ¡®right¡¯ as if he were teaching her.
¡ºKeima (Knight)¡»
¡°Eh?!¡±
Sort of... this is the first time I¡¯ve seen Tre¡¯ainar watching over me.... What? I wonder what...It¡¯s like a momentary...
¡ºOi, child... do not y so casually.¡»
¡¸Eh?¡¹
¡ºGo requires deep thought and the ability to read ahead. It improves your concentration, thinking, analytical and anticipatory skills. As it were, I read the opponent¡¯s best moves and guided them as I wished.... tis always useful inbat.¡»
¡¸Ah...¡¹
¡ºWhile ying, think about my intentions as well. From now on, we shall y together... this will train your concentration, reading and thinking skills, so I will y you a lot from now on.¡»
I see. This is also a way for Tre¡¯ainar to train me.
Do you want to train my pre-reading? Well, I¡¯ll do it, and if Tre¡¯ainar says so, will I remember it?
Because I¡¯m a disciple. Me.
¡°Oh...¡±
And, Shinobu spoke out again.
This time, it¡¯s a pretty surprised voice.
¡°Guh ... u .... ¡°
Shinobu has a cold, sharp expression.
At the same time, the crowd suddenly began to buzz.
¡°Oh, the upper right position of the youngdy haspletely copsed!?¡±
¡°Hey, this brother, who is he?¡±
¡°That really strong girl is overwhelmed, isn¡¯t she?¡±
And looking at this board, even I could understand the state of the war.
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. Is this woman strong?¡¹
¡ºOh, she is impressive. She has a well-bnced, steady y style. At this young age, she is quite formidable.¡»
¡¸That much?¡¹
¡ºAh. If you rece the perspective to an actual warrior... Imperial Knight...... then she has the power of the advanced warrior ss.¡»
¡¸Seriously!?¡¹
Then, Tre¡¯ainar who crushes the attacks of such a woman, and annihtes them...... if I were to y you, wouldn¡¯t I give up right away?
¡°Hey!? Oh,e on, it can¡¯t be!? The youngdy¡¯s field, as she tried to solidify her defense...... he cut it in two!?¡±
Usually, a game of Go is often yed for tens of minutes, or hours if you¡¯re not proficient.
And yet, just a few minutes, dozens of hands...
¡°I... guh... I... I lost....¡±
And without making her next move, the woman in front of me...... Shinobu surrendered.
It was over in just a blink of an eye.
¡°T-Thank you very much.¡±
And... you¡¯re too strong... Tre¡¯ainar.
Normally, a development such as ¡°Defeated the opponent nobody could beat because they were too strong¡± is the one so good it would end in cheers.
And yet, including the gathered crowd, everyone was still.
¡°O-Ojou lost... That¡¯s stupid... As for Go, ojou who was hailed as Japone¡¯s godchild...... What...... what was this man ...¡±
The old man beside Shinobu called Kouga is also stunned.
That is, due to the extent of such an overwhelming victory they are totally at a loss for words.
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar... even if a little, couldn¡¯t you have held back?¡¹
¡ºHah~... Well...... I could afford to stay my hand a tad, but it has been so long time sincest I yed the game and she was a formidable opponent, I have gained much experience.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar... that self-satisfied face is too much.
Well, if I wasn¡¯t Go, I would have been mercilessly killed if we sparred.
When I think about this woman¡¯s feelings now......
¡°Y... You...... Who the hell are you?¡±
¡± Eh?¡±
¡°By any chance...you¡¯re a Shinken-shi(Earnest Master), right?¡± [2] [S2]
Shinkenshi? What is that?
¡°For the time being... as promised, I¡¯ll pay you.¡±
Shinobu immediately raises her face. Staring straight at me with her dignified eyes, she took out her wallet from her pocket and mmed it on the desk.
¡°Ah, aaah... yes. Well, that¡¯s it.¡±
Anyway, money is money. Let¡¯s get out of here and buy a cake without making a fuss or getting entangled.
¡°Hey, hey, how long have you been ying Go for?¡±
With everything that happened, surely Shinobu will have a lot of questions.
For the time being, I¡¯m half joking, but kind of really in the mood for mischief....
¡°From Legend¡±
¡°...........eh........¡±
Answering so, and I try to reach for the money on the desk.
¡°One more time... with me......let¡¯s y(yes)... Can you give me that?¡±
¡± Eh?¡±
All of a sudden, Shinobu grabbed my wrist and held it tight.
¡°A loss is a loss. But I¡¯m sorry for underestimating you, I made a mistake in handing you the first move.¡±
¡°Oh, that, no, I...¡±
¡°But, even without it, I know you are far stronger than me. But I want to fight with all my might and see the difference between you and I.¡±
It¡¯s like she saw through my intention to quickly leave before getting dragged into something bothersome. To make sure I wouldn¡¯t escape, with her nk expression, she tightly grasped me so hard it was painful.
¡°In my hometown, I¡¯ve never lost to anyone my age. Go, grades, beauty. Look, I have big breasts, you know.¡±
¡°Is.. is that so...¡±
¡°Without exception, until now that is... I took the boys of Imperial City too lightly. But, passionate pathos is surging.¡±
Sorry. It was not me of the same age that yed you, but a Demon King who lived for thousands of years.
I mean, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve got a big chest, but the princess is still bigger...that doesn¡¯t matter....
¡°No, no, but I have a lot of ns...¡±
¡°You live in the Imperial City, then we¡¯re going to the Imperial City next, so how about that?¡±
¡°What?! Oh, no... oh, I have some business to do, not in the Imperial City, but the ce to go next....¡±
¡°Yes, it is. Where are you staying? Then, let¡¯s y it in your room.¡± [3] [S3]
Eh, no, what? What¡¯s with, this woman, her face is expressionless yet I feel such staggering pressure, or rather, I mean, it¡¯s scary!
What is this momentum like ¡®do not escape¡¯?
¡°Please, ojou...¡±
¡°Can you not be silent, Kouga?¡±
¡°B-But...¡±
¡°If I let this once-in-a-lifetime encounter end my heart would feel much disgrace.¡±
With that said, Shinobu rejects old man Kouga¡¯s voice as he tried to intervene.
Not good, this woman... she might be a bad type to get involved with.
¡°Ah, but, ojou... it¡¯s about time you met with ¡®leader¡¯.¡±
¡°Then, can you tell Anii-san that I¡¯ll goter?¡±
¡°No, no, no, you were strictly told to be punctual! Even if you don¡¯t have a quest today, you¡¯re sure to perform a formation review exercise.¡±
¡°~~~Oh, I know already.¡±
Oh, it looks like you¡¯ve changed your mind.
Good ¡ª
¡°Hey, you. I have to go now... Where can I find you tonight?¡±
Oh, it¡¯s no good.
¡°...I¡¯ll stay at the inn on that Street tonight.¡±
¡°So, it seems. Then you don¡¯t have to put on airs. Isn¡¯t it a reward for you? With me, such a beauty and big brea¨D¡±
¨Dslip, thud.
¡°!!??¡±
¡°...... Eh?¡±
And something fell to the ground.
It¡¯s like a slime... What?
Oh!?
¡°...... it got smaller.¡±
The Shinobu¡¯s chest, which should have been there, was gone.
The moment everyone noticed it, Shinobu quickly picked up what had fallen to the ground and hid it.
I¡¯m sure that....
¡°Isn¡¯t it possible to misunderstand? This ¡®Sobra¡¯ was only fitted with emphasis on the inner element, I was expecting that there might be a lot of trouble during the journey, in order to y the opponent¡¯s attack, I decidedprehensively that a bra made of this slime,monly known as Sobra was very suitable for the defense, so I thought to make my chest bigger, I don¡¯t care about them being small, in the first ce, my age is still in a growth period, so they will grow bigger in the future¨D¡±
Anyway, for some reason, me and all the gallery folks were sorry for Shinobu, and old man Kouga sadly put his hand on her shoulder,
¡°Ojou... true...... there is still a future....¡± [4] [S4]
¡± ~~~, anyway, promised me tonight? I¡¯ve already remembered you. I¡¯m locked on. Okay!¡±
Shinobu and the old man, whose expressionless faces turned red for the first time, left the ce with a trot.
¡¸She was a strange woman...¡¹
¡ºTonight. Well, I care not if you intend to y... ¡»
¡¸No way. I don¡¯t want to get involved. Quickly, just leave this town.¡¹
I said it unintentionally, but I didn¡¯t want to get involved with her anymore. I decided to buy a cake quickly, so I went to the cake shop.
Unfortunately, I¡¯ll have a very early reunion with Shinobu, who I was hoping to not get involved with anymore.
However, it was not on the board, but a reunion on the battlefield.
Author¡¯s Note
Recently, I was wondering if the readers of this novel are of the same age group...
[S1] I¡¯m guessing ¥Ä¥Ö¥é¤À refers to their currency. Phically it goes, Tsuburada, but I went with Tsud.
[S2] The word here, Õæ„‡ŽŸ, refers to those who y board games for stakes (big money). Usually used for Shogi yers but can also apply for Go, Chess and Yu-gi-oh!!
[S3] PHRASING!! This can so be taken the wrong way....
[S4] Yes, there is.... (¦á¦â¦ã)

Cake.
Honestly, there are too many types.
Bite size. Chocte ¡ªfruit-ones, in the hall.
¡°Which one is better ...¡±
I didn¡¯t hear of Aka¡¯s taste.
For a while, I stared in front of the sweet cakes lined up in the cake shop in the town.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. Do you know what ogre¡¯s prefer?¡±
¡ºI am not privy to that much. However, if it is a cake, the standard might be strawberry shortcake. But he also said he wanted to make it himself. Then, I would not want to dismiss pound cakes and cupcakes, but....¡»
I don¡¯t really know about the types of cake.
Sadiz made everything I ate while saying ¡®So Good, So Good¡¯, but the types...... I don¡¯t know.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. You¡¯re...... no way, sweets, cooking... you¡¯re familiar with food.¡±
No, even if you don¡¯t use ¡®no way¡¯, if you¡¯re a trainer......
¡ºWell, I may look like this, but in the past... I managed the Demon Kingdom¡¯s Gourmet Sorority and pursued the ultimate cuisine. Tis said to be the authority of the gastronomic world, especially the tongue of demons ......Devilitan¡ª¡» [1] [S1]
¡°Oh, yes.¡±
I thought it was something like that. Really, this guy has everything.
He¡¯s not the Great Demon King. He¡¯s a Superhuman.
¡°We have 100,000, so it should buy a lot in the Imperial City. In the first ce, Mr. Aka is so big that he¡¯ll eat a lot.¡±
¡ºYes, tis so. And why not go to a bookstore and buy a book on how to make cakes?¡»
¡°That¡¯s right. All right, excuse me! The line-up on this shelf, give me all of it please!¡±
¡º...... Oi, I thought about it when it came to the books, but I think you should also learn a little about the financial sense, right? Well, this time tis fine as you are using it for other, but...¡»
Financial sense? That¡¯s rude. I¡¯ve got that kind of thing, too.
¡°Oh, all that?¡±
¡°Th-That¡¯s right. I have the money.¡±
¡°Oh, is that so? All right, I¡¯ll pack it up and prepare it, so wait a minute.¡±
¡°Oh, then, can I get you a small cake and some milk while I¡¯m waiting?¡±
¡°Yes, of course. There¡¯s a chair and a table outside, so please.¡±
The money I spent this time is for Mr. Aka¡¯s sake, and I¡¯m not going to use it all at once and go bankrupt.
That¡¯s why I made the cake I eat reasonable in quantity and price.
But even so, this fund of 100,000 is still my entire asset, and if I use it as I want, it will be gone in an instant.
¡°Really, I¡¯m not aiming to live in luxury, but... from now on, I¡¯ll have to think about money a lot. I never thought I¡¯d be unable to even work as a hunter.¡±
¡ºCertainly. Well, in a bigger city, or if you go to another country, there are plenty of other work, ying games for stakes, gambling, fistfights, bodyguard, nightlife and so on that you can do without the need for such identification.¡»
¡°Underworld upations... I feel like I¡¯m getting more and more tainted.¡±
Nevertheless, life from now on...... if I can¡¯t go back to the old days anymore, you have to think about things to live and to eat.
It might be necessary to do some unscrupulous work that doesn¡¯t matter what you are.
It made me feel a little bit more sensitive.
But......
¡ºHmm, if you do not like anything other than a privileged environment, tis much better to seek apromise with your parents and the world from the beginning, apologize, and return to the Empire.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said that to take advantage of my depression.
¡ºI believe this is a good experience. Those who see only the world¡¯s surface and the beautiful things are, after all, thin existences of peace. The front and the back. By knowing the dirt of the world and people and growing on it, the answers you give one day will also weigh on you.¡»
And, he¡¯s saying that this situation now is another way to raise yourself.
¡ºYou once said. ¡®I want to be a man who can go anywhere¡¯. Then you should go. And now is the time to learn of what you cannot see and cannot experience just by living normally. Even if the world is generally a corrupt world... a man of strength can shine in such a world.¡»
Know both front and back. That¡¯s what it means to cross the world. To know the world.
¡°Ah. I... somehow... I feel like I understand. At least, if I were the way I used to be, someone like Mr. Aka.... if we hadn¡¯t talked, I would have known that there was a guy like him.¡±
¡ºOh... that is so.¡»
I think that falling into this situation is an opportunity to experience various things.
It¡¯s not just positive thinking, it¡¯s all about a brighter future.
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words convinced me.
¡°Shortcake and milk. Here you are.¡±
¡°Ah, thanks¡±
While we were talking, a cake shop attendant brought me cake and milk.
¡°Well, I¡¯ll take some sugar and clear my head for the time being.¡±
¡ºHmm, sugar is best for a tired body.¡»
I¡¯m a little hungry, and I pick up a fork and try to poke the cake.
At that time, I was worried about something.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar... Well, you know...I¡¯ve never cared....¡±
¡ºHmm.¡»
¡°You¡¯re dead, but... are you feeling hungry, thirsty, or want to eat something?¡±
You¡¯re already dead, so you won¡¯t starve to death.
However, if you can read a book or feel bored, I felt a simple question about such hunger so I asked.
Then the trainer gave it a little thought, but immediately shook his head.
¡ºHmm... certainly there is no such desire. For instance, if there is an unknown food, I may desire to know the tasteter...¡»
¡°I see...¡±
¡ºAh. So do not worry about such trifles.¡»
Don¡¯t worry, Tre¡¯ainar says.
In fact, when I was eating a meal in the mansion, I was with Sadiz, and I was so obsessed with training that I wasn¡¯t worried.
But now I¡¯m out in the outside world, and I¡¯m already with him.
And, even ifst night was an exception, I¡¯m the only one who ate a dish outside.
Something is a little lonely, too......
¡°......excuse me.¡±
¡°Yes, sir.¡±
Once I realized, I called the clerk.
¡°Cake and milk... can you bring me one more?¡±
¡°Oh... Refill...... is it?¡±
¡°Oh, well, like that.¡±
I was asking for another set of cake and milk.
Rather than a refill, it¡¯s more like for ¡®one more person¡¯...
¡ºChild?¡»
¡°...... No..... I know you can¡¯t eat it, I know there¡¯s not much meaning, and it¡¯s a waste of money, but... I¡¯ll eat itter ...I feel like it.¡±
It¡¯s an offering. but ... well ... let¡¯s enjoy just the mood.
A little weird, but I also ordered ¡®Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Portion¡¯.
Then, Tre¡¯ainarughed with his nose...
¡ºHmm. Even if you don¡¯t do that... in the dream world of ¡¾Vier¡¿, if I restore my senses and embody what you have eaten in the image, I could eat it.¡»
¡°Oh, is that right!?¡±
¡ºThat it is. If I encountered an ingredient I was interested in, I was thinking of having it done.¡»
¡°...... Well then...... this is...¡±
¡ºSimply a waste of money. I care not for the cake you eat, nor is the milk tantalizing, rather, coffee is the better option. If you intend to spend that much money, buy a book.¡»
¡°Oh, uh, that¡¯s right, I¡¯m sorry! Geez, I wasted money ...¡±
It had no significance. Tre¡¯ainarughed at meddling, making me turn away with embarrassment.
But to me, Tre¡¯ainar...
¡ºWell...it may not mean much, but... the ambiance... if only your feelings, I appreciate and gratefully ept it ...¡»
Taking me into consideration, for a moment I felt really embarrassed, and I tried to gloss over it by shoving the cake in my mouth in one bite.
However, it was then.
¡°...Eh?¡±
¡ºHnn?¡»
Then suddenly there was something in our view on the terrace.
Smoke rose from the mountainside outside the city.
¡°What? ...... a fire?¡±
¡ºNo... That... a beacon?¡»
I don¡¯t know what the smoke really is. But in any case, I had a bad feeling.
Because in that direction ...
¡°Hey, what¡¯s that smoke. Do you know?¡±
¡°Maybe they¡¯re the ones? You know, from Japone, who came to this city yesterday....¡±
¡°Ah! No, I was in the guild this morning!¡±
At that time, people who seemed to be residents of the town who passed by us on the terrace of the shop chatted with each other ...
¡°So I heard a little bit about it, that¡¯s a good quest, so to temper their team coordination, they went to train in those mountains.¡±
¡°Then, are those guys doing that? Surely it¡¯s the hunter team from Japone... ¡®The Elusive Ninjas¡¯?¡±
When I heard the story, me and Trainer looked at each other and there was a terrible foreboding.
[S1] [Shoukugeki ] no Tre¡¯ainar anyone?
Chapter 53 – Running
Chapter 53 ¨C Running
Tranted by: Sads07
I have a bad feeling about it.
I ran for the smoke I saw from the town.
With a bag containing a bunch of boxes of cakes being carried in my hands, and I ran through the mountains.
I might run a little roughly and the cake might lose its shape, but let¡¯s have Aka put up with it.
¡°...... Hey, what do you think, Tre¡¯ainar? The story just before...¡±
¡ºA team of hunters from Japone... what about it?¡»
¡°That woman... do you think she has anything to do with the Hunter team?¡±
¡ºWell... the possibility is high.¡»
¡°If she was a hunter, too... what happens if Mr. Aka is found?¡±
¡ºWho could say... well. Even after the war, I know not what the reaction will be.... for certain. As for how they may react... undoubtedly, not much has changed from before and now.¡»
The first thing that came to me when I heard ¡®Japone¡¯ was that woman.
And, the old man called Kouga who was by her side.
From the way we talked, they seemed to be with some others, but they were from Japone.
Is that woman of the same age as me a hunter? She said something about her brother.
¡ºThat Aka, the ogre... he was kind to you, but if you fight, your power will probably... I do not think you should worry.¡»
¡°Ah, I don¡¯t know. But, well, I have a bad feeling.... if Mr. Aka is safe, that¡¯s fine.¡±
Surely, it¡¯s also difficult to move quickly while carrying delicate cargo in both hands that can¡¯t be handled roughly.
Read the obstacles one step ahead and proceed with the shortest, safest course.
Last night, Tre¡¯ainar taught me Magical Parkour, but I can¡¯t take advantage of it.
¡ºOi, even in a rush, be more aware of the peripheral vision for Magical Parkour, and read further ahead as you would in a game of Go.¡»
¡°I¡¯m sorry. But...... groan, hit the head!?¡±
¡ºDo not let your mind wonder by simply reading two or three obstacles and avoiding them. If you avoid one, you will always need to read it until the next one, else you will crash into other obstacles such as trees!¡»
¡°Well, that¡¯s why I can¡¯t do it very well because I¡¯m holding cake!¡±
¡ºDo not dynamically push forward with reckless abandon. Especially as you take the trouble to carry something delicate while moving, handle with both grace and prudence.¡»
¡°It¡¯s pretty difficult!¡±
If you hurry too fast, you¡¯ll run into a tree. If you are too conscious of trees, you will bete. If you are considerate of the cake, you¡¯ll be halfway there.
I can¡¯t use my body well.
Maybe, if confirming Mr. Aka¡¯s safetyes first, should I throw away the cake? I can always buy it again.
¡ºI thought sost night, you can only use your body and fight on level grounds and arenas after all. The basics of nding¡¯ and ¡®rolling¡¯ necessary for parkour have not been established in the first ce. Tis why even rabbits could not be caught.¡»
¡°And you¡¯re bringing up new terms... what is that? Tell me while I run!¡±
To be honest, as I was not in a position to sit down and listen to the usual polite exnation, I asked him to be urgent.
¡ºWell... thending is called a four-pointnding. Simply put, bynding with both hands and feet, tis the basic technique to disperse the impact of falling into four. Then, rolling is a technique in which impact is dispersed by rolling forward whennding. Tis known that safending is more essential than the way you run before learning parkour.¡»
¡°That¡¯s what I did!¡±
¡ºI believed this was something that would naturally be learned while ying outside and running around in the mountains as a child... then again, you are a city life twit...¡»
¡°Ah, you said twit again!? Fine, I care about it! Roughly, if you have cake, you can¡¯t do the four-point thing that way! So I¡¯ll throw it away, this cake!¡±
Apparently, I don¡¯t have the basics or the essentials necessary for learning parkour.
So what do I do now?
After all, I have to remember this with my body......
¡°Huh...? Eh!!?¡±
It was then.
¡°Ah, you¡¯re quite loud... young one. In the depths of the mountains like this, what¡¯s with the luggage you¡¯re holding?¡±
All of a sudden, I heard a very calm, nonchnt voice in my ear.
I involuntarily stop and turn my body toward the voice.
¡°Ah... where?¡±
There was someone sitting cross-legged on the branch of the next tree.
The whole body is wrapped in ck clothing, and the head is covered with a ck hood and the mouth is covered with a ck mask.
And on his back, he carries what appears to be a small, short sword.
No matter how you look at it, they¡¯re suspicious.
¡°...... Hey, who are you?¡±
¡°Hmm... I¡¯m a hunter.¡±
The tone is calm, with no feeling of hostility.
Even so, I don¡¯t know how they look because the face is hidden.
¡°Hmm. Well, I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m in a bit of a hurry.¡±
¡°Oh, can¡¯t you wait a minute? No, I¡¯m really sorry if you¡¯re in a hurry.¡±
I want to get a little response, and the moment I said that, as expected, he stopped me.
¡°Presently, me and myrades are soon to participate in some stern special training just beyond this point. I¡¯m sorry to bother you, but can you take a detour? If you¡¯re in such a hurry, I could guide you right away.¡±
Saying it politely, but in short, it seems that you want for me not to interfere because you¡¯re in a special training session.
That¡¯s all right.
If it is just ¡®Special training¡¯.
¡°You? Are you a hunter from Japone?¡±
¡°Oh? Have you heard of it in town? Indeed, my people are from Japone, and I¡¯m a frence hunter.¡±
Just as I thought. And at the same time....
¡ºChild... Be careful....¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡ºThis one... talking about frence hunters and such.... is that not too generous?¡»
It seems Tre¡¯ainar felt something in the hunter in front of him.
Certainly, however you look at it, it doesn¡¯t look normal, and it¡¯s suspicious.
¡°Well, I don¡¯t care which hunter you are, but I¡¯d like to get this cake to my friend soon. I¡¯ll be going ahead.¡±
¡°......Eh?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to bother you, but... supposing we¡¯re in the territory of the Empire, to be ordered by a group from other countries, let alone free hunters, I¡¯m not likely toply, am I?¡±
¡°Well... if you say it like that, ungh, sounds like you¡¯re not....¡±
If they¡¯re just suspicious, that¡¯s fine.
If you¡¯re training normally, that¡¯s fine.
However, there are things that I am concerned about.
It is not to worry about anything if these guys are not rted to Mr. Aka at all, and it is only training in the ce where Mr. Aka happens, and it is not noticed the presence of Mr. Aka.
It¡¯s because they¡¯re just training where Aka is. No matter what they¡¯re doing, if they¡¯re unaware of Aka¡¯s existence, then I wouldn¡¯t care.
But, ¡®Do you know that an ogre is up ahead?¡¯, I can¡¯t say that.
So it¡¯s a bit of a roundabout inquiry, but how does he react...
¡ºChild... get your wits up and be wary... pay attention without showing it on your face. Right now...... are you not surrounded?¡»
¡°..................¡±
¡ºOne person diagonally left to the rear... one to the right from behind...¡»
Ah, I didn¡¯t notice. You¡¯re pretty good at hide and seek.
In other words, there are three of them, including the one before us.
Well, if there¡¯s nothing wrong with that, it wouldn¡¯t be a big deal, but...
¡°Hah~ ... I wanted to be careful, but...... okay, I have to be honest with you.¡±
Then the man in front of me raised his hands to show that there was no hostility, as he thought.
¡°In fact, a dangerous existence happened to be found by my poor people during special training.¡±
¡°Dangerous existence?¡±
¡°An atrocious monster... Ogre¡±
Oh...why do I have a bad feeling....
¡°A dangerous species that brought death and tragedy to tens of thousands of human beings in the great war of the past... before leaving it to harm the people of the world, my leader and colleagues are now trying to subdue it with all their might. Therefore, this mountain and the forest are very dangerous now. And so, I have to keep an eye out for my people so that no one approaches. Please, can¡¯t you listen to us here?¡±
And, it is unavoidable then. I nodded, too.
¡°I see. There¡¯s an atrocious monster, no... I didn¡¯t know that. Well, it really~ should be subdued.¡±
¡°Um, I¡¯m sorry you¡¯re in a hurry, but thank you for your understanding.¡±
I got it. It has to be subdued. If it¡¯s an atrocious monster... well?
¡°By the way...¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°Actually, apart from the one you¡¯re talking about, there¡¯s a kind-hearted ogre living there. Do you know that?¡±
¡°...... Huh?¡±
¡°He¡¯s my friend... well, I mean... you¡¯re not misunderstanding and attacking my friend, right?¡±
Yes, Aka is different.
He¡¯s kinder than anyone else, and he¡¯s so fragile. He¡¯s not someone to be called cruel and outrageous...
¡°...... you¡¯re involved with that red ogre? Kind-hearted? What do you mean? You¡¯re not nning anything with that red ogre, are you?¡±
Oh...... I wonder why this is happening.
If I use the technique of the Great Demon King, it¡¯s shameless.
If I make friends with an ogre, I¡¯m no good.
Not only the people of the Imperial City, but also those of other countries ... Ah!
No, I¡¯ll exin the situation quickly and we¡¯ll talk about it somehow.... discussion...... let¡¯s talk.
¡°Oh no, that¡¯s not true. Sure, an ogre is an ogre! But he helped me when I was in trouble!¡±
¡°What.... help...... no way, to get information on humans?¡±
¡°It¡¯s just good intentions! You can tell if you talked to Mr. Aka! He¡¯s kind, clumsy, and really wants to make friends with people!¡±
¡°What do you mean... I never, to be won over by an ogre...¡±
Discussion...... Talk......
¡°It¡¯s true. Stop your people right now! I¡¯ll tell you a little bit. There are few good people in the world as decent as Mr. Aka.¡±
¡°Showing such negligence, it was keeping its head down for an opportunity and didn¡¯t want to be discovered. The other party is an ogre. You must know nothing about ogres!¡±
Talk...... ah... just...
¡°My people have experienced the war before and know all about the demons and the ogre race. They¡¯re all the species that have to be driven out! That¡¯s why young people these days...¡±
Oh, no. ¡®young people these days¡¯, when it came out, it was all over.
¡°...... Hey...... asshole, that¡¯s enough.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°For some reason you olden days people, who stopped thinking for yourselves, have the nerve... everyst one of them ... in any country!¡±
I put the cake I had on the tree, and I roared at it.
¡°You. What do you bastards intend for Mr. Aka?¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
Jump in and one shot!
¡°Fast!?¡±
¡°Uraaaah!¡±
I drove my right straight into his face.
The man took my fist and fell to the ground...?!
¡°W-What? L-Log!?¡±
I hit a man in the face without a doubt now.
However, man¡¯s appearance became a log at that moment. No, did they change?
¡ºTis a Transformation art. Child!¡»
¡°What? Transformation?¡±
¡ºBehind you. Here theye!¡»
Right after I reacted to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
¡°I was surprised that you showed up, but... I¡¯ll give an exnation afterwards.¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°For now, good night.¡±
A blow with a sword handle to the head. The vibration causes paralysis all over my body, and my body falls to the ground.
This is used to stun people....
¡°I was totally surprised... eh? Iga, wasn¡¯t it a bit dangerous?¡±
¡°Hum. One step slower and I would have been beaten. He is no mere man... is he ojou¡¯s acquaintance?¡±
¡°That young man was in town a little while ago.... he was ying Go with ojou.... what happened...¡±
Ah...... it was really dangerous. At Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s warning, I would have lost consciousness if I hadn¡¯t responded and disced the area where I was hit a little bit.
¡°Good grief... wasn¡¯t expecting you.... ¡°
¡°¡±¡±Eh!!??¡±¡±¡±
Three of them looked surprised at me when I got up.
One of them was called ¡®Iga¡¯, the masked man I was talking about a while ago.
The other is an old man I met in the city called ¡®Kouga¡¯.
And.....
¡°I was a little surprised... what are you doing? Shinobu... was it?¡±
¡°You... how can you get up now? What the hell are you...?¡±
After all, is this woman, Shinobu, also involved?
But if you¡¯re going to get in the way, there¡¯s only one hand.
I take a quick step to take the ¡®Great Demon Flicker¡¯.
¡°For now, you bastards andrades should stop right now. If you can¡¯t do that, I¡¯ll go ahead, even if I have to put the three of you down together!¡±
And today, for the first time in every sense, I¡¯m going to fight an actual opponent.
Chapter 54 – Instant Defeat
Chapter 54 ¨C Instant Defeat
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°The young man talks about friendship with an Ogre¡ whether he¡¯s being deceived or brainwashed, I haven¡¯t the slightest interest.¡±
¡°He is good enough to win a game of Go against Ojou¡ no mere brat, that¡¯s for certain.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a sort of bare-handed style¡ a type I¡¯ve never seen before, however¡.¡±
They seemed to be wary of me when I rose up and set up.
But they don¡¯t want to believe me.
¡°However, based on the circumstances we should avoid excessive violence if possible. I will hold him down here.¡±
In front of me poised in the flicker stance, the masked man named Iga stepped forward.
Such bloodlust, also that weird transformation technique he used to dodge my attack, but it won¡¯t work this time.
¡ºChild, these ones may be free hunter, but the reality is different¡ do not let your guard down.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºHe is from Japone¡ furthermore, the transformation art he just utilized¡¡ these are¡ª¡»
What Tre¡¯ainar felt from these guys as they were saying something earlier.
I understood that they¡¯re not mere warriors.
To be that negligent, I still have too much confidence in myself.
¡°I have no grudges, but young man¡ if you don¡¯t retreat, I will entertain you.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Or, you guys say you¡¯re hunters, but who are you, really? You¡¯re a war veteran.¡±
¡°That I can¡¯t say so easily.¡±
Then, Iga puts his center of gravity slightly lower.
My senses tell me he gathered enough force in order to nimbly jump out at me.
That is, nothing like this has urred in the academy mock battle I¡¯ve had so far, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve ever seen this posture.
And although he seems calm, he is also exuding killing intent.
¡°I¡¯ll say it once more¡will you retire¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re not going to listen to me, only to words convenient for you, right?¡±
¡°It appears so. In that case, then ¡ sorry!¡±
The moment I refused to answer his final warning, Iga moved.
¡°Japone Running Art ¨C ¡°
Straight towards me¡¡ Fast¡¡?
No, it¡¯s not. The speed itself is probably not that much.
It¡¯s just ¡®looks fast¡¯ due to the sharpness of the run, the pace and the steps.
As he runs, he steps forward by raising the heel without bending the knees in the middle, and elerates suddenly as you think he slowed down.
One of the steps I was doing on thedder training. ¡®The Great Demon Goose Step¡¯.
It¡¯s a feint.
If I can understand the theory, don¡¯t panic and calm down¡¡
¡°It¡¯s slowerpared to Rebal¡¡±
¡± Goose pran ¡ª Ah ¡¡±
¡°I see, go.¡±
Anticipate the opponent¡¯s movements and counter with a left jab to the jaw the moment he jumps in.
¡°¡¡ eh?¡±
¡°Iga!?¡±
This time it¡¯s not a transformation. Iga himself eats a pinpoint blow to the jaw and copses like a puppet with a broken string.
¡°Ah, hey, hey, why!?¡±
¡°Eh ¡? Eh? Iga ¡?¡±
Instant defeat.
And the blow is obviously a shock to Kouga and Shinobu.
Now is the time!
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿¡±
¡°What?!¡±
¡°I can do it, too¡.¡±
Run towards Kouga and cut the steps just before.
Kouga, who is still shaken, is further dyed by my feint.
At that moment, I jump into Kouga¡¯s chest and clench my left fist.
¡°Fast, then, from below, or, defend!¡±
¡°Kouga, get back!¡±
Even though he was in a panic, Kouga managed to move his body and raise his fists.
But it¡¯s toote.
While rushing in at the step, hit straight out from the position between the hook and upper.
I didn¡¯t particrly reveal it in the match with Rebal, but it¡¯s a punch different from straight, hook, upper and body.
Its name is ¡®Great Demon Smash¡¯. If it hits¡
¡°Fly to the end! ¡¾Heavenly Comet ? Supreme Annihtion Fist ¡¿¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
¡º¡¡ Why would you name a smashunched from below aet? ¡»
The words of Tre¡¯ainar, who has no sense of naming, don¡¯t bother me, and the strikesnd on the opponent¡¯s arm as he tried to defend his face.
There was a response!
¡°Gah, tch, goho¡¡±
¡°Kouga¡±
¡°I-I¡¯m alright, O-Ojou, step back! This one is¡¡ not normal.¡±
However, it was not enough to knock him out because he guarded to some extent.
¡°Time to get serious! It¡¯s rough, but with my art, I¡¯ll have you!¡±
Still, his nose was crushed and blood flowing out, but Koga gazes at me with sharp eyes as if he is resolved rather than dismayed, and begins a strange hand movement at high speed.
¡ºThat, like a mage¡¯s chant¡ tis a ¡®Seal¡¯.¡»
¡°Seal?¡±
¡ºYes, that is the warrior from the Kingdom of Japone, who once supported humankind from the shadows in the great war¡. the Ninja Warrior¡¯s Ninjutsu!¡»
¡°eh¡. ¡°
Ah, that¡ it was among yesterday¡¯s topics¡¡ ah, that¡¯s¡
¡°Wind Art Jutsu, ¡¾Spiral Maelstrom!! ¡¿¡± [1] [S1]
No way, these guys were the ninja warriors that I admired when I was a kid.
But to be honest, I was still cool and calm without letting my eyes shine with longing.
It seems to be a different type of attack than our magic, but in the end it¡¯s a wind attribute attack, right?
The whirlwind turns into sharp des, blows all around and attacks me ¡
¡°Terra Spell, ¡¾Kilo Mud Wall!! ¡¿¡±
¡°You, magic!?¡±
¡°Aaand¡¡±
The wall made from soil appears from the ground and blocks it.
And at the same time, I m my fists against the y wall, destroy it, andunch the fragments at Kouga.
¡°Stars Crust, um ¡ ehhhhh!¡±
¡°Ts, ou, ooooooh!!??¡±
¡ºTo forget the name of your own special attack. Tis why I said you should employ the skill name that I put forth¡.¡»
I feel a little embarrassed by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s quip, but the power is still the same.
Kouga took the mud wall fragments head on and suffered damage.
¡°Gah, c-curses¡. cane¡¡ boy¡¡ you, who are you?¡±
Kouga is shaken with a wounded knee.
Ninja Warrior¡¡ what a letdown!
¡ºI would impress on you to not get carried away, but¡ well, far from it. At first, I wondered how you would fare, but these ones are at intermediate level. Originally, tis the height of folly for warriors who specialized in stealth and assassination to engage in battle head on. Unless you are at the mercy of an unknown technique, they are no match for the child whose power already surpasses a senior warrior¡.¡»
Then, at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, my dominance turns into conviction.
Should be fine. If this is the case, I¡¯ll be at Aka¡¯s ce soon¡.
¡°Amazing¡ surprise peach on a Sichuan shrub tree¡¡ that¡¯s how much.¡± [2] [S2]
¡°¡¡Ah?¡±
¡°To defeat Iga with a single blow and overwhelm Kouga. Not only Go, but also unexpectedly strong ¡ aren¡¯t you my ideal type?¡±
At that time, Shinobu who had fallen back a little from our attack and defense, came out with a smile that I couldn¡¯t imagine from her expressionless face when we first met.
¡°Oh yes, that¡¯s right. Not in this situation¡. and if my chest was bigger to start with, I was so excited that it was finally time to be popr.¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ u-umm, really, what a shame. But if you bet on the possibilities of the future, you can do your best, right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. Even if I desperately give it my all from now, I can¡¯t reach my ideal bust size.¡±
Two of herpanions were down, so I thought she would be more distressed, but Shinobu, to my surprise, came forth with some joy.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but now I¡¯m a man who prioritizes friendship over women¡ Don¡¯t interfere!¡± [3] [S3]
Even so, this girl, to tell a joke in this kind of situation, it is very different from the bored doll appearance she had in town¡¡ uh huh? Lady, you¡¯re joking, aren¡¯t you? Eh? Who¡¯s your type? Me? Oh, it¡¯s okay, isn¡¯t it? That was like an emptypliment, wasn¡¯t it?
In the past, Sadiz and the Princess would tell me, ¡®Be careful of the woman who seduces you as the son of the hero in her aim for money and status¡¯, ¡®The Honey Trap¡¯, and such. I¡¯ve been told not to be deceived by the words of such women, and that I have a soft spot for girls with such allure.
But, eh? She doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m the son of a hero.
Me? This girl, might be t as a board, but she has a pretty face, and if she¡¯s really interested in me¡ eh? What should I do¡.
¡ºOi, why the agitation. Never mind that¡¡ you best believe the crucial momentes after this.¡»
¡°Oh?¡±
No, I thought by some chance my time really came, but I got Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s advice in a slightly serious tone.
Crucial moment?
¡°Ach, O-Ojou¡¡±
¡°Back away with Iga, Kouga. I¡¯ll handle this.¡±
What? She wants to go one-on-one with me, even though the two old men are done? A girl the same age as me?
No, well, even though she is a woman, if her power is the same ss as the princess, this confidence is also¡¡
¡°You¡¯re proud of your ability to defeat two of the Chunin¡. Then, next¡Why don¡¯t you feel the power of Jounin?¡±
¡°Joe nin?¡±
¡°I may have been overwhelmed on the board, but it will not be that easy withbat, will it?¡±
Saying that, Shinobu takes out a small sword and sets it up at me.
I again get ready with the Great Demon Flicker as well.
¡°Now then, let¡¯smunicate through bout, instead of on the board. But, it¡¯ll be apanied more or less with pain, right?¡±
¡°Ah, scary. Would the pain of your first time hurt more, I wonder. Would you like to receive lessons in both, I wonder?¡±
¡°What? Wh-Who knows¡. I-I am undyed by such matters¡¡ mo-more important is¡¡ Friendship. Hand-holding¡¡ Exchange diaries and such¡.¡±
¡°¡¡¡ You¡¡ are still budding.¡±
The real yer of the previous game was Tre¡¯ainar.
So, this is the first real showdown between me and Shinobu.
But first, I have to try to disrupt her pace¡. then, knock her down fast, end it quick and off to Mr. Aka¡¯s ce!
[S1] The move name, øQéTœuކ, is literally [Naruto Uzumaki! BELIEVE IT!!!]
[S2] ¡¡..WHAT????

Chapter 55 – The Shinobi Way
Chapter 55 ¨C The Shinobi Way
Tranted by: Sads07
I don¡¯t know what a Jounin is, but from the margin Shinobu is showing, she¡¯s at least stronger than the other two.
If Jounin isparable to the Empire¡¯s Senior Warrior ss, surely I should keep my guard up.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s make this qui¨C¡°
The moment I braced myself for battle, an unusual shaped knife was approaching my face.
¡°Nu, oh!?¡±
¡°Such good reflexes. Well now, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Hold on, you, wha-!?¡±
It is neither martial art nor swordsmanship. She just threw a knife.
Knife throwing technique? But how many does she have?!
¡ºTis neither a small sword nor knife. That.... is a ¡®Kunai¡¯ and ¡®Shuriken¡¯.¡»
¡°What is it?¡±
¡ºWeapons unique to Ninja Warriors. Be careful! Do not react only to what is visible!¡»
¡°Tch, don¡¯t, take me, lightly!¡±
¡ºBehind you, child!¡»
Don¡¯t react only to visible things...... tch!?
¡°Huh, it¡¯s, a log!?¡±
As I was avoiding the kunai, I felt something approaching from behind, and the moment I turned around, a big log with a rope attacked me like a pendulum.
¡ºTis a trap, child. That little girl was setting up a trap while you were dealing with the two ninjas.¡»
Whoa, a trap. But......
¡°Won¡¯t work, I¡¯m not a beast to be snared! Like this.¡±
A big log and a kunai flying from the front. A pincer maneuver. However, they are all shot down.
Assuming the half-body stance, I knock down the Kunais by their wide middle parts with the flicker, and intercept approaching the log with a smash from my clenched right fist.
Because I couldn¡¯t add a twist on my waist as I made the hand shot, the power is decreased, but......
¡°If it¡¯s about blowing away a little knife and a log... eh!?¡±
¡ºTwo kunais, child!¡»
At that moment, when I intercepted the log and ¡®visible¡¯ Kunai, I didn¡¯t notice the simr dyed attack that was hidden behind the first attack.
¡°Gah!? Ah, tse~!¡±
The Kunai pierces. The log strikes at my head. I reacted, but there was no escape route, and it was impossible to intercept, she got me good after all.
¡°Ah, that was cheeky...Eh?¡±
The pain made me flinch, but I must endure, I can¡¯t fall down, and next I go on the offensive.... then, just as I thought that, Shinobu, who was in front of me until now, was nowhere to be seen.
¡°Water Art, ¡¾Misty Wind Jutsu¡¿¡±
Then, the voice of Shinobu, who was invisible, echoed, and at the same time, the deep fog covering the forest deprived me of my vision.
¡°Wh-What is this?¡±
¡ºA fog concealment technique, so to speak... Be wary. The opponent is a Jounin. In this fog, they are aware of your movements and whereabouts. Iing attacks would be hidden by the fog, would they not?¡»
¡°That¡¯s,e on, seriously!?¡±
Not good, the fog is getting thicker and thicker as we speak.
It¡¯s all white, and I can hardly see anything.
What if a kunai or other things are thrown in this situation?
What if a powerful Ninjutsu is unleashed?
¡°Hey, you, that¡¯s cowardly! Come on out!¡±
Then, it doesn¡¯t matter how good my dynamic vision or peripheral vision is. I can¡¯t see anything.
However, Shinobu does not respond to my shouts.
She won¡¯t do anything stupid to reveal her whereabouts.
And instead of her voice......
¡ºChild ¡»
¡°Huh. Whoa, whoa, whoa!?¡±
Kunai flies instead of a reply. A few stab me on my arms, shoulders, and feet, cut my skin, and hurt me.
To be honest, you can¡¯t see a Kunai until they¡¯re on the verge of hitting.
And the moment you see it, it¡¯s toote.
No matter how good my reflexes and visual acuity are, there are limits to avoiding this.
¡°Ugh, there! Thunder Spell, ¡¾Kilo Thunder!¡¿¡±
Still, the general direction can be grasped based on where the kunai struck.
The lightning strike is dropped toward the direction where Kunai flew from.
However, there is no response. Was it avoided?
¡ºDo not shoot blindly into the fog. She is throwing a kunai while moving. Even if done by intuition, your attacks are for naught.¡»
¡¸Damn, that girl... didn¡¯t seem had the nerve to use such awful underhanded tricks!¡¹
¡ºBe Calm, child. This is the Shinobi way. This is a Ninja Warrior.¡»
¡¸Huh... you mean?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, saying this is a ¡®Ninja Warriors¡¯, carries weight.
¡ºWhat Shinobi find essential is not strength. Tis the realization of the objective. Foremost is to kill the opponent, not to win the battle. That is their way.¡»
¡¸Are you serious......¡¹
¡ºBut, on the other hand, though you denounce that little girl as cowardly, still she is apprehensive, is she not?¡»
While pointing out the naivety of meining about hiding and such a stealthy battle, Tre¡¯ainar adds...
¡ºHad that little girl applied lethal poison on her weapons, at this point the fight would be over.¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡ºFor a Jounin to not have poisons on their person is unfathomable. In other words, she is still being apprehensive and going easy on you.¡»
I hate that his remark made me shudder.
I mean, if she meant to kill me, I would be dead already.
Could I die so easily?
No, it¡¯s not the only possibility. What if a Kunai hits a critical spot?
This is no joke.
¡°Throwing Art, ¡¾Multiple Shuriken Clone¡¿¡±
¡°Ah......... hey, you got me so many times! ...... What?¡±
A shuriken appeared in front of my eyes. This time, I noticed it very quickly and tried to shoot it down with my fist, but my punch slipped right through.
Illusion? Then, the second shuriken, which had been thrown in the shadow of the first, pierced my body this time.
¡°When, what? What is this?!¡±
¡ºShuriken Clone... tis an attack that mixes an illusionary shuriken with the real article. Tis impossible for the current child to see through.¡»
¡°Shu-Shuriken Clone!?¡±
You¡¯re too mean! How do you handle a hidden opponent,promised sight, and even a mix of real and fake attacks?
¡°Damn it, get out here! You no pubes, titless hussyyyyyyyy!!!¡± [1]
¡ºTis no use. Ninjas can also control their emotions. They do not bring personal feelings of everyday life into these situations. In a way, their ability to read the mood is even worse than Hiro¡¯s.¡»
¡°t board, I, er, no, nuah~¡±
And after witnessing the power of my fist in the battle against the other two, I doubt she will make any errors.
She was anxious about her chest. Why not provoke her?
But in the end, nothing changed.
The only things thrown back are Kunai and shuriken.
¡°Ah, tch, I... as things are... forced to retreat...¡±
No good. It¡¯s inevitable. I¡¯m guarding my neck and wrists on reflex, but I¡¯ll get struck all over my body, at this rate.
Do I retreat here? Can¡¯t I just dash to a ce where the fog isn¡¯t covered and escape?
¡°Terran Art, ¡¾Flying Rock Pebbles¡¿¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
While working out my strategy, she activates a powerful technique.
Vibrations ran on the ground, and countless stones attacked me all at once.
The impact of the stones hitting the whole body.
I can¡¯t see it, but I imagine that my whole body is swollen blue.
¡°Damn it.... one move... seriously.... how can I defeat her... in this situation...¡±
¡ºChild, learn. Tis an actual battle. The strong do not necessarily win. Those who have no power also use strategy to defeat the strong. Tis only natural. If you fight head-on in the arena, you will win.... but in actualbat there are no holds barred.¡»
What Tre¡¯ainar is saying sticks to me. But now is not the time for this.
They still haverades. The group approaching Mr. Aka.
To go help Mr. Aka, I can¡¯t get stuck in a ce like this.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar. What would you do?¡¹
¡ºThis level of fog is meaningless before my six-gates. Even with your eyes closed, you can also fight by relying on signs and sounds, also you could blow away surroundings. Tis still too early for the child....¡»
¡¸Fugu!?¡¹
¡ºDeduce it yourself a little. A hint was offered. In this situation, finding your own way will lead to growth.¡»
Damn, it¡¯s not helpful. That¡¯s bad. Really, I am...?
As Tre¡¯ainar says, it¡¯s impossible to rely on signs and sounds. To begin with, I do not understand Shinobu¡¯s movement at all. I can¡¯t hear any sound or sense of presence, and I don¡¯t know when she¡¯ll use an art or a kunai appears before my eyes.
I can¡¯t use Giga-ss magic or anything with area effects ...What?
¡°Ah, that¡¯s it.¡±
Only one, the most destructive magic I can use... No, I have a skill.
¡ºHooh~... to implement that idea to your benefits .... quite ironic.¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar positive reaction, seemed a littleplicated but it doesn¡¯t seem to be ¡®wrong¡¯.
Then I¡¯ll proceed with confidence.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Breakthrough Mode!¡±
The Breakthrough state that cloaks the entire body with magic. However, no matter how much physical strength I have, there¡¯s no point if I can¡¯t find the opponent¡¯s whereabouts. It just increases your defense.
But from here I raise my right hand and use that.
¡°Great Magic Spiral!!¡±
It is arge magic spiral that influenced my life in various ways. I didn¡¯t think I would be using it two days in a row.
But this isn¡¯t just a great magic spiral.
Instead of just using it as a drill to punch a hole by pushing it into the opponent, hold it up like this, and rotate it violently...
¡°Blow it all awaaaaaaay!!!!!¡±
¡°Eeehh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Earth Spiral Tornado!!¡¿¡±
It causes intense tornadoes and blows away all the fog and trees.
The surrounding trees fly, the ground is gouged out, and the fog dissipates and my view bes clear.
¡°Ah, th-this is!? Eeek!?¡±
¡°Ahahahaha! I see you!¡±
And I found you! Finally!
While trying desperately not to be blown away by the wind, a short skirt rolls up, panties, white, simple approach, Instant Memory Magic, ¡¾Canonicon¡¿activate!...... No, I mean, I found that girl! [2]
But then...
¡ºExactly how The Great Demon Spiral...... Spiral Tornado.... destroyed that city...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was muttering something a bitplicated, but can¡¯t dwell on that right.
¡°I¡¯m not letting you go anymore.¡±
¡°Oh... That¡¯s fast!¡±
We¡¯re separated by some distance, I can¡¯t let her hide again.
I won¡¯t even let you use a kunai or shuriken, or even activate your art.
Let¡¯s use this chance and continue with some extreme-infighting.
Author¡¯s Notes
Everyone is always indebted.
I get a lot of feedback every time, and it¡¯s a lot of fun.
I hope I can reply to all of them someday, but please give me some time.
Well, here is one request about the impression.
Basically, you can write anything in your impressions.
Or development expectations, or tired, or that chara-fucking, or the author clothes, it is everyone¡¯s freedom, and I of the body that can receive the impression to begin with ¡°Impressions should be this¡± and so on.
But don¡¯t just fight with the other. That¡¯s all there is to it, please.
I wrote a serious postscript, and the author also dressed.
[S1] Here he calls Shinobu a tsurupeta ( [¥Ä¥ë¥Ú¥¿] ), ¡°t chested, hairless girl¡±. From the onomatopoeia ¡°tsurutsuru¡± (¤Ä¤ë¤Ä¤ë ¡°smooth, polished; slick; slippery; sleek¡±, especially ¡°hairless¡± (see [inm¨] )) and ¡°petan¡± (¤Ú¤¿¤ó ¡°t¡±, ¡°devoid of bumps and holes¡±).

Chapter 56 – Intermission (Female Ninja)
Chapter 56 ¨C Intermission (Female Ninja)
Tranted by: Sads07
I sincerely respected and admired the ninja who fought to protect the country, the world, and humanity from the shadow without revealing themselves to the world.
Born into a lineage of prestigious ninjas, I chose this path of my own volition, not just as a fate.
To leave nothing of your name to the world as a result. I felt that the spirit of humility was not to seek fame or honor, but a manifestation of a pure desire to ¡®protect something¡¯ more than anyone else.
And, above all, I thought that it was very cool.
To be a ninja is to have a variety of extensive disciplines. Ninjutsu. Weaponry. Taijutsu. Strategy. Covert art. Assassination. In addition, the general knowledge necessary for infiltration, and specialized fields unique to ¡®female ninja¡¯.
Yes, I understood from an early age that ¡®Ninja excel at everything¡¯.
In other words, it was my path to be ¡®an existence capable of anything¡¯.
Therefore, I invested myself in the training from an early age to go all the way.
I also skipped a grade to graduate from the Ninja Academy, and became the youngest ninja warrior in history, then to Genin, Chunin, and finally the youngest Jounin. [1]
However, the shinobi path that I arrived at was far from what I had idealized.
¡°Then, the next mission is to escort Viscount Ouge Letz, who is on the way to the red light district incognito. Once that is done, Yatou, the anti-government sympathizer, falls. Achieve the task in the midst of their demonstration.¡±
¡°Yes, the prince said, ¡®I want to make a pilgrimage to the sacred site that became the stage of a book that I love¡¯. In addition to serving as bodyguards, Jounin will also entertain people by wearing costumes and disguising themselves as characters.¡°
¡°I want you to lend me a few free genin. I¡¯d like to ask them to dig potatoes in the field.¡±
The world is at peace. That¡¯s wonderful.
Ironically, however, the duty assigned to us Shinobi by those with influence was not so much.
Although I was born after the war and had not experienced war, I was able to ept it as ¡®this is the reality¡¯, but dear elder brothers, who knew the war and the ninja¡¯s secret epic, felt unsatisfied with the present situation.
¡°Don¡¯t screw around. Damn, this treatment of shinobi! Amon general store...... our duty does not include chores!¡±
The more peaceful it was, the more discontent my brothers andpanions were.
¡°The other day, too. The bandit and ferocious monster extermination are left to the samurai, and we Shinobi have a stand-by order named Logistic Support......¡±
¡°Naturally, we know that forest better than anyone else because we use it every day for training.¡±
¡°We should have rushed faster than anyone else and solved it faster than anyone else. And yet, just to keep us waiting, they caused unnecessary damage!¡±
Ninja is an existence in the shadows. Therefore, we were treated as lesser than Samurai Warriors of the Kingdom on the front lines.
And, being fueled by the continuous peace and apanying the reduction of armaments, and the Kingdom Samurai who wanted to prove the significance of their existence by taking the initiative to solve the asional big incidents, took up the credit and the treatment of us Shinobi declined quickly.
¡°Hey, ninjas. I brought you a mission. The budget has finally been approved, and it¡¯s been decided that a new Kingdom Samurai Dormitory will be built this time. You will get cleaning and moving done promptly. If you¡¯re a ninja, you¡¯re good at that, right?¡±
And even the samurai, who were once on friendly terms likerades and sworn allies, use them as booths, and the ninja changed.
¡°Eh......? Changing jobs? What do you mean, Macura? You finally graduated to genin only to say...¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Shinobu-chan. My parents aren¡¯t feeling well.... It¡¯s a little tight with my current shinobi sry....¡±
¡°Even so... yet, how? There are many who change jobs these days, but those people, are they proven? You¡¯ve only just graduated from the Ninja Academy, you never had a track record, and yet you¡¯re just moving to another carrier...ah, you, no way!¡±
¡°The Daimyo, Osanaski, is also friendly with the Kingdom¡¯s Samurai Generals... I asked for a favor. The way I asked... I¡¯ll leave it to your imagination, and I despise it.¡±
¡°Macura...¡±
¡°Shinobu-chan... Don¡¯t be like me.... Stay pure as you are forever.¡±
There were a lot of friends who wanted to change jobs, too.
However, the employment rate of the kingdom samurai is currently severe, and even if they wish to change jobs, they arepeting for seats.
There were many who used whatever means to win their seats.
And, I had to admit the fact that me, mypanions, and elder brothers did not want to admit.
The age of the Shinobi is over.
¡°It is the Shinobi way to dedicate this body in service to the lord and the country... but the world no longer needs Shinobi ...¡±
One day, no one could object to the words Nii-san had sadly muttered.
¡°But even so, this power that I earned still... can certainly be of use somewhere in the world. I don¡¯t hate peace. However, I want to use this acquired power to the fullest and use it for something.¡±
A dozen ninja, including me, who agreed with my brother¡¯sints and wishes, received the words....
¡°Let us go out into the world. Instead of changing jobs, I¡¯ll retire, then seek re-employment... why don¡¯t we be free hunters, and go across the world?¡±
And we went out to the world.
In search of something that can fully use the power that I have acquired as a shinobi.
Currently, I am....
¡°Ah, I¡¯m not going to let you go, Shinobu!¡±
¡°Ah, not good, this range...¡±
¡°Where are you going?¡±
I remembered a time long ago. In that instant, he stepped in fast and was in front of me.
Unlike us, who train to kill our emotions and always keep calm in battle, this boy bares his fighting spirit and emotions.
Surrounded by beautiful, lively green light, he hunts me down.
¡°Japone Fluid Art... Mawashi Uke(Circr Block)!¡± [2]
¡°Hmm, can you handle my flicker?¡±
Fast! Not to mention that I am not confident in martial arts.
But this wild, yet speedy, relentless fist strike far exceeds my reaction rate.
Up to now, I am undefeated against opponents of my age, even among the samurai.
But I can¡¯t beat him in this distance.
I didn¡¯t think he could use such a powerful technique to blow away even the fog.
¡°Oraaaaa!! Quickly, get beat!¡±
When we yed Go in town, he was stronger than anyone in my hometown, his ys took to far-reaching heights that existed in a different dimension, and left a ¡®yearning¡¯ in me rather than a sense of ¡®wonder¡¯.
I want to y with him more. I even desire to be a disciple.
However, his impression in a real battle ispletely different from what he showed while ying Go.
Strong, soulful, and fiery.
I don¡¯t know why he can y such a game of Go, but I¡¯m sure this is the real him.
¡®Ugh! uh!¡ªurgh! It¡¯s, too fast...Ah!¡±
I can¡¯t keep my distance. Before I step forcefully into it and try to back-step, his high speed left flies to stop me.
I try to keep parrying a fist that moves like a whip with both hands, but gradually my arms be numb and I can¡¯t keep up with the fists that elerate even more.
¡°Got you.¡±
One left hand overwhelmed me, and after I was in a state unable to defend or evade, he threw his right fist straight into my face.... indeed.... if I take this right, I¡¯m......
¡°... My win! Right!¡±
¡°...... Eh?¡±
I was prepared for defeat, but the shock that should havee did not.
His fist stopped right before my eyes.
And at the same time the light that was covering his body subsides.
This is......
¡°...... What do you mean?¡±
¡°...... Oh, I think it¡¯s enough for a match now!¡±
I was prepared to lose my face, but what do you mean?
Mercy? No, that¡¯s not it.
This is...... Oh...... That¡¯s right.
¡°You... are strong, but...... well, you¡¯ve never hit a woman.¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°...... assuredly...... you¡¯re a very well-bred boy... but...... for a woman who¡¯s determined and resolved herself, it¡¯s not kindness! It¡¯s insulting.¡±
Humiliation.
The battlefield is next to death. Death on duty is also a Shinobi¡¯s pride.
Can you not hit me because I¡¯m a woman? A sweet spirituality to that degree with such strength.
With such bloodlust, I thought I might have to deal with losing my virginity to him, but I was disappointed. [3]
¡°Take...eh!?¡±
¡°This is the oue, just admit your loss, and beat it!¡±
He seized me by the wrist, as I took a chance to thrust a Kunai into his throat.
After all, at this distance......
¡°You get it? If I can see it, it¡¯s mine! I won¡¯t miss your line of sight, breathing, and muscle movements. No matter what you do, I¡¯ll stop it and hit the counter before you can do anything!¡±
¡°I ¡ª¡±
¡°Come on, ept your defeat!¡±
His wild eyes amaze me.
But...
¡°...But...you didn¡¯t actually hit me, did you? No, you never hit me?¡±
¡°Well... Hey?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t y around. Are you mocking me with this?¡±
I was more upset with his treatment of girls in this situation rather than my defeat.
He¡¯s saying it was unseemly to be so unwilling to admit defeat, even I thought it was shameful.
As if to challenge the authority of the winner, to whom my life or death is entrusted, if he gives me defeat, I demanded that I be beaten down.
Then he...
¡°Shut up! Well, if you want me to hit you, you shoulde at me with an uglier face! Yours is hard to hit! Roughly, women like you say whatever they want to judge a man, that he¡¯s no good for his own convenience, that they should stop dating him, that he¡¯s a pervert for reading one erotic book, some say he¡¯s the worst if he hurts a woman, yet you say it¡¯s an insult, so annoying. Even though you openly imed I was your type a little while ago, now of your own ord I¡¯m a disappointment, every one of you, so shallow!¡±
Right then, this boy of my age got emotional. Hisint feels like it¡¯s about a quarrel with a female ssmate as he rattled on.
¡°A man doesn¡¯t live on the basis of a woman¡¯s evaluation. This is my way, I¡¯ve only just met you, let alone as an enemy who won¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s arguments yet finds faults, get lost already!¡±
I was dumbfounded, but quickly got angry.
I twist my wrist and he lets go on reflex. Just a little. A little distance, and a chance of victory still stands.
¡°Wh-What do you meane at you with an uglier face... how rude! Women and men... it¡¯s what¡¯s inside, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
And finally, a chance. His response was dyed because he kept rattling in anger.
I back-stepped to gain some distance from him. If it¡¯s this range, I can cope with it.
¡°Now, you¡¯ll receive my strongest ninjutsu! Water Art! Wind Art! Composite Ninjutsu, ¡¾FengShui Cmity¡¿¨D¨D¨D¡± [4]
In battle, it is essential to be calm.
To not understand that, he still has a long way to go.
¡°What¡¯s inside... so, even you dere that it¡¯s the state of what¡¯s inside that¡¯s important! At least...¡±
It was then.
Having been separated from me again, he did not hastily give chase, but cried out with an emotional outburst.
¡°At least the friend I just met... is a scary faced Ogre and yet.... what¡¯s inside... is a kinder person than anybody else.¡±
It seems he¡¯s shouting not just in anger, in some respects it¡¯s as if to appeal to reason......
¡°And the master I met... the worst, most cursed, infamous being in history .... but what¡¯s inside... he hates to lose, he¡¯s a little childish, but he¡¯s my guide and he¡¯s the one who acknowledges me more than anyone else!¡±
What? What is he talking about? Who¡¯s the kind Ogre? Master?
I don¡¯t understand.
But the eyes say...
¡°Someone who can only see Mr. Aka as one of the ogre race, shouldn¡¯t talk about what¡¯s inside of a person!!¡±
It seemed like he was screaming to me, no, into the world, ¡®Why don¡¯t you understand me?¡¯.
And, his entire body is once again wrapped in green light, and the spiral of apact size than before appears in the right arm.
The spiral strikes head-on toward the strongest ninjutsu that I have unleashed, and makes a hole.
¡°¡¾Earth Impact!! ¡¿¡±
The shock wave from the spiral shattered my art and blew me away.
I felt a strong, hot, intense impulse.
¡°Ah... shu...¡±
Fallen, I lie on my back on the ground, so there isn¡¯t much trauma.
However, my heart had already admitted.
It¡¯s my total loss.
¡°I admit... my defeat...?¡±
But it¡¯s much more refreshing than I felt a while ago, and above all......
¡°This, I... got hit like I wanted, by the man who says he only gets violent with ugly women.... and... huh? Me? I mean...... he said he couldn¡¯t hit me, I¡¯m not an ugly woman.¡±
My heart couldn¡¯t stop racing.
I, of all people, should listen to others more often.
So maybe I should listen to him better.
No, I thought I had to listen.
In the first ce, I.....
¡°Hey.... before you listen to me... tell me. First...... what¡¯s your name?¡±
Even though we¡¯ve shed like this, I still don¡¯t know his name.
[S1] Different terms were used for the first 2 but couldn¡¯t find single English words for them, so I fell back on Naruto.
[S2] The [Mawashi Uke] is a [roundhouse block] found most often in traditional forms of Karate
[S3] Say what now?
[S4] Feng shui (pronounced fung shway) is an ancient Chinese system of bncing our physical environment to promote harmony and a sense of well-being. The Chinese words ¡°feng¡± and ¡°shui¡± trante to mean ¡°wind¡± and ¡°water,¡± respectively.
Chapter 57 – Turning Point
Chapter 57 ¨C Turning Point
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Hey, tell me. What¡¯s your name?¡±
It was quite the struggle, but finally I can take a break.
However, I can¡¯t take it easy.
There are still a lot of these guys.
There¡¯s no telling what Mr. Aka might be going through.
¡°Hold on, Mr. Aka. I¡¯ll be right there!¡±
¡°Hey, wait a minute! Let¡¯s talk, I¡¯ll listen! So please, don¡¯t go!¡±
And, when I started running to Aka¡¯s house, Shinobu, who should have been down, got up and ran around me.
What the hell, she¡¯s still fine, her clothes got shredded by my shockwave, some shame would be nice, but now is not the time.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿¡±
¡°Hey!?¡±
I took a goose step to avoid colliding with Shinobu, who stood in the way, and ran.
¡°Hey, just, I said wait!¡±
¡°Daaaaaah~, don¡¯t order me around! Also, a lot of your figure is exposed as it is, your clothes are in tatters because of the effects of the shock wave, so if you don¡¯t mind! Hide your panties!¡±
¡°Not really, they¡¯re made to be seen without issue! Beside, in that case you can look to your heart¡¯s content, go on!¡±
¡°Like there are panties in this world that it¡¯s fine to see from the onset. I get excited to see it because you shouldn¡¯t look at it!¡±
Shinobu is chasing right after me. The crazy nuisance. So annoying.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Swab¡¿¡±
¡°Eh, huh!?¡±
While moving straight, proceed to change direction so as to draw a circle outward.
I¡¯ll shake her off at this rate.
¡°Come on, I¡¯m listening to you, aren¡¯t I? You¡¯re seriously saying that ogre is a friend!¡±
¡°Now is the time! Yourpanions may be doing something to Mr. Aka, and don¡¯t suddenly turn around and offer your hand!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you trust me? Yes, we don¡¯t know anything about each other. Then you can run, and listen to me!¡±
What? It¡¯s the other way around, right? These guys told me to listen to them yet had no ears to listen to me, and now they tell me to listen, but I¡¯m reluctant to talk and kept on running.
The only difference, I¡¯m refusing but Shinobu kept screaming without a care.
¡°I¡¯m 15 years old from The Kingdom of Japone, the eldest daughter of the Stoke family. A genius ninja who was called Yojijukugo and a child prodigy. What¡¯s more, my skills at ying Go won me the Japone under 18 tournament championship. The type of man I like is... how should I put it, the man I¡¯m interested in right now is... No, I don¡¯t have to say anymore, do I? Right? Right? Totally infatuated! The bloodlust from our battle, it¡¯s now an exceedingly wonderful, heart throbbing memorial!¡± [1] [S1]
¡°I-Infatuated, n-no woman says that so easily!¡±
Not good. She¡¯s beautiful, and she said I¡¯m her type, but she¡¯s kind of annoying.
I¡¯m ttered, but I may not want to be intimate.
Or why are you so energetic? You lost to me.
If I take her to Mr. Aka¡¯s ce like this, wouldn¡¯t it be dangerous?
¡°But, it¡¯s the reason we can talk like this, also if you need to stop my brother, in that case I¡¯ll help you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t have the time to talk to you. How long has it been since your brother went to Mr. Aka? Then, I¡¯ll be faster if it¡¯ll be one second earlier, too bad for you but I¡¯ll blow your big brother away with haste!¡±
I face forward, my cheeks and skin get cut by branches on the way, and proceed regardless.
I nced back, but Shinobu was fine and she had no problem with...
¡ºTis the perfect parkour... as expected of a Jounin.¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡ºI would like you to show me such movement¡»
¡°Shut up! It¡¯s been a while now! And I¡¯m worried about Mr. Aka!¡±
¡ºSurely that ogre will be fine... Well, to be certain I am concerned, but...... it cannot be helped. Shall I offer a little assistance?¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar was by my side thinking a little as he observed the situation while whispering into my ear.
¡ºWell? Child. From now on, I shall direct you on the ¡®route to run¡¯. Follow my instructions. I will inform you on the best route to avoid obstacles.¡»
¡°Wh-What? You can do that?¡±
¡ºHmm. Instead, try not to miss the route, will you? There are several route instructions. Memorize them at once.¡»
That¡¯s how Tre¡¯ainar exins the route to me. About short words and their basis.
¡°Hey? You¡¯ve been talking to yourself for a while? Hey, hey!¡±
Ignoring the chasing Shinobu, I concentrate on remembering Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
Then, as I enter the deep, wooded area, I increase my concentration.
¡°Are you all right?¡±
¡ºIt looks like this, and there is no doubt about the instructions from the one once said to be the bestmander in history!¡»
¡°I don¡¯t know, but I asked!¡±
¡ºLet us proceed.... ¡®nt¡¯¡»
nt. Meaning the route cuts into an angle diagonally after running straight.
I just barely avoid arge tree.
¡ºCorner¡»
Corner. The instruction is to cut diagonally to the right after running straight for a while.
¡ºStraight¡»
As the name implies, keep running straight. There¡¯s nothing to hinder me for a while, and I can run through non-stop.
¡°Hey, what? How did he? A swifter running course...can¡¯t catch up!¡±
Gradually, the gap from Shinobu¡¯s feet, which trainer called the perfect parkour, was expanding.
¡ºJig Out¡»
Incredible. As I ran, I pondered, ¡®Which way should I run?¡¯ and I thought about it, but my idea waspletely different from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions.
I realize my judgment still needs work.
But thanks to that, I gained some distance from the disturbed woman...
¡°You¡¯re truly amazing. I respect you! But that¡¯s why you have to wait! You say you¡¯ll blow my brother away, but...... no matter what you do in the first ce, you can¡¯t beat Nii-san!¡±
At that time, the words I heard from behind made me a little angry.
¡°Nii-san is much stronger than I am. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Experience, all top-ss talent even among the Jounin. A genius shinobi who was recognized for his ability by the Seven Heroes of legend, and ¡®prized¡¯ as the pride of the Japone Kingdom!¡±
¡°Oh~, yeah yeah, genius prodigy, I¡¯m boundlessly envious. Me, I¡¯ve never been recognized by the Seven Heroes even once, so I dropped out.¡±
However, the Great Demon King who was the nemesis of the Seven Heroes recognized me.
And, never mind that ...
¡ºYou are close.¡»
I finally approached a familiar ce.
Yes, I met the shooting star family and Mr. Aka around here.
And if you leave here, you¡¯ll soon be in Aka¡¯sir...? what?
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar! There¡¯s some smoke...And, uh...Is it burning?¡±
¡ºMost Likely.¡»
Probably not. No doubt. The smoke is spreading, and the air is gradually getting hot.
And, ites into view. The house I spentst night in. That is......
¡°Ah...¡±
It¡¯s burning... Aka¡¯s house... the devastation... Aka¡¯s field...
¡°Ah...Ah...¡±
The surrounding trees are destroyed, the ground is devastated, and it was no longer a ce where anyone could live...
¡ºDo not ask how...¡»
But what caught my eye wasn¡¯t the burning, the devastation, or ¡®their extent¡¯.
The blood spread abundantly on the ground.
Kunai and shuriken stuck all over the ce.
An audible groan.
And, a dying figure, so weak that it seems about to expire at any time.
I wanted to doubt the sight before me as simply a dream.
But all the air I feel on my skin tells me that this is real.
¡º...... Phew...... Dear me...... as I said...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar alone is not so surprised. He is calm as if he expected, ¡®this oue isn¡¯t anything strange¡¯.
¡°What... so?¡±
That was the only thing I could squeeze out.
¡°I¡¯ve caught up. Eh? ...... eh!? This is...¡±
When Shinobu finally caught up, she was surprised at the sight which spread before her.
It is only natural.
Because these are Shinobu¡¯s friends... And, and Shinobu¡¯s big brother may be among them, too.
Shinobu¡¯s friends and Shinobu¡¯s big brother.
They¡¯re...
Bloodstained, lying t down and on the verge of dying.
¡°Ni, nii-san...¡±
And, there is one figure looking down on the peopleying prostrate.
¡ºTo touch the dragon¡¯s reverse scale. To step on the tiger¡¯s tail. I say truly... they provoked the ogre¡¯s horn...... they are at fault.¡»
It was big, thick, had many shuriken, kunai, swords, sickles, and other weapons stuck to its body, and a lot of blood was shed.
However, the existence does not seem to show pain to the injury either.
The whole body is dyed in a scorching color, hair standing upright as it was on the verge of boiling with rage, and horns that extend majestically.
He looked exactly like a monster.
¡ºNo matter how kind of a person, anger has a tipping point. Even among you humans, there are those who when pushed, kill even their blood-rtives. So..... naturally the ogre was pushed, too. And, an enraged ogre bes a blood-stained beast¡¯ next, and loses all control of their emotions and self-restraint. Right...... that ogre... tis no devil, but...... tis definitely an ogre.¡»
What am I looking at now?
¨D¨DI do... one person at a time... making friends... having fun, ying games, having them over for a meal... ah, like that..
¡°Uh...Urgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha, Humaaannns!! Unforgivabuuuuullllee!!!!¡±
The house where he lived in and the fields he tended have all been ruined.
I¡¯m sure all the works that were in the house were burned up.
There¡¯s no one who wouldn¡¯t get angry.
Even I would flip out.
Much more, if you¡¯re attacked unprovoked, there isn¡¯t the slightest problem with striking back.
I¡¯vee this far by kicking Shinobu out of the way.
So it doesn¡¯t matter.
It can¡¯t be helped.
But yet I couldn¡¯t say that right away.
¡ºThis is the turning point, child... your solution once again.... show me as well.¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar talked as if he had seen through my heart.
That is, though my friend Mr. Aka is screaming with that much bloodlust, I must once again try to reach him with words.
[S1] Yojijukugo, ²ÅÉ«¼æ‚ä, is a four characterpound which refers to (a woman) being gifted with both intelligence and beauty?. Ady of Wit and Beauty if you will. I considered using Diva or Idol but that just makes her out like a singer. Also a note to dat Princess, this is how you raise your appeal as a heroine. Though Shinobu ising on Pretty strong.

¡°Ya buuurned iiiiiiitt!! I didn¡¯t doooo nothing, ta yaaaaa! But why? The house! The field I worked hard ta raise! My crops! What made ya ruin them, whyyyyyy!!¡±
Just a scream, like a violent storm blowing through, and if I get careless, it would blow me away.
¡°Gah, Mo...ster ¡ª¡±
At that time, a man who was in tatters at Mr. Aka¡¯s feet looked up.
That time, at the guild in town wasn¡¯t it, the man who called himself ¡®Fuuma¡¯.
¡°Nii-san!?¡±
¡°Eh... Shh... Shino... bu.¡±
And, I was taken aback by Shinobu¡¯s words.
Then, Shinobu¡¯s big brother... that was said to be a genius... suffered such damage!
¡°Do ya know how hard it is ta build a house!? Find a quiet ce, down the trees by yerself, cut wood, pile it up, and if ya think yer done it atst, rain and winde, break it easy and ya start over, think about it, and do yer best ta make it work!¡±
And, Mr. Aka grabs the dying Fuuma¡¯s neck and lifts him.
¡°Do ya know how hard it is to grow vegetables in the field? Find a good sunny spot, too much rain will wither them and even if I take my eyes off, birds and animals would eat them, but I am d that it grows little by little. and it¡¯s good...Why do ya do this!!¡±
Mr. Aka is furious. His expression is ferocious...... No, it¡¯s filled with red tears.
¡°Why did ya do iiiiiiiiiiit!¡±
Then, that sincere cry, wrenched at my heart.
Why did this happen? You shouldn¡¯t have done anything.
Mr. Aka did nothing...
¡°Like that, don¡¯t, y yourself as the victim... you ogre... how many have you destroyed, wounded, in, ravaged, and vited among those who lived peacefully...¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
However, Fuuma, who was seized by the neck, hit Mr.Aka with his words while holding on to his life.
They were words directed to the existence of ¡®ogre¡¯ rather than ¡®Aka¡¯.
¡°As emotions go... so little made you enraged...... attempting to eliminate such dangers...... what¡¯s wrong with it! Such as a beast that doesn¡¯t recognize itself as dangerous, depart from this world!!¡±
At that moment, a glint in the dying Fuuma¡¯s eye held his strength, and he tried to do something with his hands folded.
That, he¡¯s using the Seal(Hand Signs) Shinobu was performing earlier.
¡°Not good, Mr. Aka, watch out ¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Then I regretted my dy.
If I had talked to Aka without being scared earlier...
¡°Fire Art, ¡¾me Cannon st(zing Chorus) ¡¿!!¡±
A huge me emanated from Fuuma¡¯s mouth.
Aka was bathed with a tremendous amount of heat that burned and melted everything.
¡°Ah, Mr. Aka!¡±
If you¡¯re exposed to such a big me, normally...
¡°...... Unforgivable...¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
But Mr. Aka isn¡¯t normal. He¡¯s much stronger than I imagined.
The skin, which had been dyed by scorching heat, became even darker and eventually becamepletely jet ck.
The color of the whole body changed, as if the skin he wore was broken through and the real skin underneath exposed.
Even the sharp horns underwent an ominous transformation, and the eyes became sharper and more violent.
¡°Ugaogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!¡±
The Aka I knew, was not there anymore.
¡°Gugaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
¡°Uuuurghh!?¡±
The ogre, whopletely took off the veil, threw Fuuma with all his might.
His body hits the ground and is violently convulsing.
The ogre flies toward an immobile Fuuma and tries to step on him.
¡°No-Not good. Nii-san!¡±
¡°Oh, ah...¡±
Shinobu quickly enters the scene and flies off with Fuuma.
However, the ogrended hard on the ground, breaking the ground with its strength and opening a huge hole, and the ground shook like an earthquake had urred.
If he had received something like that...
¡°Gaaaaaa.... Ugaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
And he never stopped. The eyes of the beast no longer see anything, they just rampage as if they were destroying everything on the spot.
¡°Th-this is bad... Nii-san, everybody, we¡¯ll retreat for the time being!¡±
¡°Shinobu... but...and...¡±
¡°You¡¯re in no shape. Right now, there¡¯s nothing to say in this situation with our downedpanions!¡±
Anyway, Shinobu shouted at me that I should run away now.
Friends?
Yes, I...
¡ºThere is no end to it. It cannot even hear your voice anymore. All consciousness and thought is lost, and it will not stop until all around is destroyed. Tis that kind of race.¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar...¡±
¡ºEven though, tis surprising. I knew he was powerful, but did not know much about the owner of that power, so he did not leave a name for himself in history... he isparable to the top-ranking officer of the Demon Army ¡®Demon General Rokuha¡¯, is he not?¡»
¡°What?¡±
From Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth, the rampaging ogre... no, Aka¡¯s power. The power line¡¯s up with the owners of the legendary title that even I know.
¡ºDo you know what that means? Child.¡»
¡°Oh... If he rampages with such power...¡±
¡ºNot so.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºWhy do you think, with all that strength, he was buried from knowledge? If I had known that a man of such power existed, I would have made him a senior executive of the Demon King¡¯s Army with exceptional treatment.¡»
I couldn¡¯t answer that question. Then, with a sad look, Tre¡¯ainar looked towards the rampaging Aka...
¡ºHe is probably a former Demon King soldier, but... all through his life, never unleashed himself in a fit of rage.... without using that power in a shy manner...... he is not one to lose himself in instinctual violence... somehow continually supporting his livelihood, it seems... somewhere without divergence...... after the war, endured on his own and lived quietly.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºHe is certainly an ogre. The fate of the race cannot be reversed. But still... after all, that ogre might have had a special heart. But that too...... stupid ones have ruined everything.¡»
I see. He had that much power.
To be clear, more than anyone I¡¯ve evere across except my father, his power evokes an overwhelming chill.
If he feels like it, he could do anything.
He could easily destroy or rule over one or two cities.
However, Mr. Aka didn¡¯t make a name for himself in the war.
So even Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t know about Aka.
Why is that?
¡ºWell, I care not about the past anymore... tis toote... no voice can reach him anymore.... until the rampage ends.¡»
Well, now, I don¡¯t know what kind of life Mr. Aka has led.
What is important is what I do now by seeing this situation.
¡ºWell, child... What will you do?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar once again tries to ask me.
He¡¯s asking me to show my answer again.
I¡¯m scared of Aka¡¯s transformation....
¡°Goodness ... really, I am... useless¡±
¡ºChild?¡»
¡°I was scared of Aka¡¯s powers, he¡¯s more powerful than I expected... I was afraid .... I dangerously came close to doing the same thing.¡±
Yes, I remembered.
¡°You pointed out a boomerang to mest night, didn¡¯t you?¡±
The boomerang that Tre¡¯ainar pointed out.
I used Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s technique, and my father and everyone in the Imperial city despised me.
To those guys, I spit up, ¡®Don¡¯t bring up the war of the past¡¯.
But on the other hand, when I was surprisedst night by the fact that Aka might be a former Demon King soldier, Tre¡¯ainar grinned and said, ¡®are you concerned about the war that ended before you were born¡¯.
It¡¯s the same as that.
¡°Because I used unexpected power ...¡±
That was also yesterday.
¡°The more fear you see in the face of your loved ones, the more you hurt...¡±
Sadiz¡¯s outcry in the matches to mind.
I will never forget her expression at the time.
That¡¯s why I can¡¯t let Aka taste the same thing.
Don¡¯t be scared. Don¡¯t give up. Rather step on!
¡°Mr. Aka...¡±
I stepped forward and finally called to Mr. Aka.
¡°Hey, you!? What are you doing!??¡±
¡°...... He...... surely...¡±
Shinobu, who was about to leave the scene, quickly tried to stop me, but I stepped forward.
And Aka turns and looks at me.
¡°Grr?¡±
¡°Mr. Aka... I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte... it was hard... I¡¯m sorry... The cake, too... I messed it up somehow.¡±
¡°Gugaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
Aka, who has forgotten himself in his rage, can¡¯t seem to recognize me anymore.
Even when he saw me, he just raised a roar like a beast and started attacking me.
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
Fast. Reflexively activated breakthrough to defend. However, even in the breakthrough state, Aka¡¯s powerful arm blows me away.
¡°Gah, tah...ah, Mr. Aka...¡±
My back crashed into a tree, numbing my whole body, and stopping my breath for a moment.
¡°Yes... he¡¯s kind...... with skillful hands, a good cook... and yet, so strong.... Mr. Aka... amazing.¡±
¡°Gaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!¡±
Fast and strong. The breakthrough state was wiped out in an instant.
This is Mr. Aka¡¯s true power.
But that¡¯s why I can¡¯t run away.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s okay, Aka. Mr. Aka did nothing wrong. Even humans go wild when they get angry and snap. They hit things, destroy them, and abuse their parents.... Mr. Aka... he¡¯s just a little stronger than other people... What you¡¯re doing is normal.¡±
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
Aka swung his fist toward me as I got up.
A ridiculous right strong swing. If I get hit straight, I¡¯ll be sttered into pieces of meat.
But strangely, I had no fear at this time.
The angle of Aka¡¯s fist and the movement of his muscles came to me naturally, and I was able to evade without using the breakthrough this time.
¡°I¡¯m sorry... because we humans are too weak...... our mind is too narrow... even though Mr. Aka is such a big guy... he said he wanted to be friends with us...¡±
¡°Urgh! Gaaaah!! Grrraaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
¡°I¡¯m really sorry... Mr. Aka... that¡¯s why, I am!¡±
This time, it is Aka¡¯s left full swing. But before the punch, which was obviously too big, I thrust my right straight up Aka¡¯s vacant face.
A punch that projects out diagonally. It¡¯s less powerful than a normal straight.
However, it struck like a counter.
¡°Ga, ah... Gaaaaaaahhh!!¡±
Mr. Aka took a blow from me, but he doesn¡¯t look frightened. Even if I hit him with the counter, this is it.
Not only power, but also the hardness and toughness of the body are clearly different.
If you¡¯re going to fight, theoretically it¡¯s best to take a good distance and fight with speed.
But this is not a battle.
¡°Mr. Aka is too strong... If he gets a little violent, it¡¯s disastrous to humans... you can¡¯t even have an argument with each other.... really, it¡¯s a lot, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Ugaaraaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I at least... when Mr. Aka gets angry, I¡¯ll be the opponent who can fight him openly. And I¡¯ll make you feel refreshed! To the point where Mr. Aka can vent his anger! I¡¯ll face this Mr. Aka, not only the one who¡¯s kind!¡±
It¡¯s not a battle. It¡¯s a fight. It¡¯s not a fight to win, it¡¯s a fight to hit at your opponent¡¯s thoughts.
To reach Mr. Aka who loses himself and rages.
Such is my answer, to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s inquiry.
¡ºIs that your answer?¡»
¡°Ah.¡±
¡ºWhy do you go so far? After all, you just met this ogre yesterday, right?¡»
¡°Oh, yes. But...... the ogre I just met...¡±
Why am I here? My answer was simple.
¨D still, isn¡¯t he the son of the hero?
¨Dit¡¯s not a skill used by warriors
¨D Warrior disqualification!
¨D Permanent expulsion from the warrior world!
All the voices that I have been bathed with until now are words directed at ¡®The Son of the Hero¡¯.
My life up to this point, praise and criticism were all words said towards my title.
But the ogre I just met yesterday... Mr. Aka...
¨D Earth, you¡¯re amazing.
He knows nothing about my identity or title....
¡°Because he said the words I wanted the most in my life.¡±
He recognized me not as the son of a hero, but as Earth.
That¡¯s why I have to respond!
You should respond!
¡ºIs that so?¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me,ughed.
¡°Now, let¡¯s keep going, Mr. Aka.¡±
I¡¯m not taking a step back. I¡¯ll show you that determination.
¡°I¡¯m not running away.¡±
¡°Garr?¡±
¡°Come on. Don¡¯t hold back, don¡¯t hesitate, go all out, Aka!¡±
There was no such thing as winning or losing.
Simply, to reach him!
With that in mind, I roar as well.

Chapter 59 ¨C Heart
Tranted by: Sads07
In my training with Tre¡¯ainar, rather than fist fighting, what we worked on the most was footwork.
My leg movements, trained with the Magical Ladder training, stumbled even Rebal, a leading swordsman.
Hit & Run, centered on the left Jab, may be the fighting style that offers me the least risk.
But now I¡¯m not running away.
Imence infighting.
Unlike Shinobu and others, it seems Mr. Aka has the power to crush the whole body with only a single blow.
Reckless, even if I say so myself.
But I felt that this range was the right choice between me and Mr. Aka.
¡°Graaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!¡±
So, he dodged this fist¡eh!
¡°Still, somewhat within expectation!?¡±
¡°Gaaaah! Gugaaah!! Gaaaah!!!¡±
¡°Hey, no, just, time out! C¡¯mon, wait!¡±
After all, it¡¯s too scary!
Although I was putting on airs with bold words until a while ago, I will actually die if I eat even one shot.
A fist fight between friends.
Don¡¯t evade the opponent¡¯s attack, dare to ept it, and then strike back.
I think it¡¯s the coolest thing, but if you take one shot, you¡¯ll die.
Therefore, I¡¯m reluctant to receive it, so I avoid it.
¡°Graaah! Ugaaaaah!! Graaaaaaah!!!¡±
¡°Gah, tch ah, Nnh, soi¡±
Strong and fast. However, because it is a full swing punch, I can somehow look ahead to the trajectory and avoid it, but Mr. Aka, who has lost himself, won¡¯t stop.
I can only avoid direct hits during infights, by moving my legs in small increments, twisting my neck, or deflecting my upper body.
¡ºHah, not very dexterous. Tis pretty hard to defend and evade, is it not? Rather, the anxiety and withdrawal¡¡ are you getting cold feet?¡»
¡°I, I know! Shit, aah~, damnit¡±
¡ºAre you saying you will ept it then? If not, you would simply irritate the ogre, would you not?¡»
Mr. Aka threw a counter shot a little while ago. If I tried to swing my fists around then, the timing wouldn¡¯t be right at all, at the time, the risk of failure was too high.
At the very least, I can¡¯t do anything if I don¡¯t observe Mr. Aka¡¯s punches a little more.
But¡¡
¡°Hey, what are you doing? Kuh, I¡¯ll soon¡¡¡±
¡°Ha, do not make a move, Shinobuuuuuuu!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
Even though I can¡¯t do anything, I don¡¯t want unnecessary interruptions.
I¡¯m that stubborn, too.
¡°Th-This is not the situation to say¡¡±
¡°Now is the time to say that! If you can¡¯t even read the mood of the situation, you guys should leave!¡±
This is not a battle. It¡¯s not for the sake of survival.
It is about hitting each other.
So, that¡¯s why I have to hit him.
Don¡¯t be scared. Put out your fists and hit each other!
¡ºTis so. Do not be timid. Tis easier than a spar, is it not?¡»
Well, if you actually fight, I think Tre¡¯ainar would be stronger.
However, it is still different from the phantom spar and spar with ¡¾Vier¡¿.
It crossed my mind that if I get hit, I¡¯ll really die.
¡ºYou said that, did you not? Tis a scuffle. Then, what do you think is the minimum requirement for such a fight?¡»
What is required? Technique? Physical ability? Experience? Intellect? Pride? Guts?
¡ºHeart.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar who always exins things and convinces me with technical theories and reasoning came here and told me something invisible.
However, in my mind, I admitted that it was the correct answer.
¡ºIf this is neither a battle nor a match, it matters not whether you win or lose. What is important is to deliver your words. You may fall. Do not flee. If so, your feelings will reach him.¡»
Right. It¡¯s okay to lose. Do not run.
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡±
With a snarl, Mr. Aka threw an upper.
If I get hit by this, my face will be blown off!
¡°What are you doing, you¡¯ve been doing that for a while! You showed me such a super-grade thought process when we yed Go, but why are you fighting with the Ogre at that distance?¡±
That¡¯s why it¡¯s so annoying!!
¡°Will you ¡®use your head¡¯ more!!¡±
Daaaaaaaaaah!!! Damnit! Whatsit, use my head?
I muster my heart, so it¡¯s fine to use my head, right?
¡°Damn, it, let¡¯s goooooooooooooo!!!¡±
For Aka¡¯s upper, I avoided it by shifting the upper body¡¡ No!
Rather step forward!
The body which tried to shift, rather recoiled and stepped forward.
I¡¯m going to hit you.
I¡¯ll do it.
Even if it bares desperation!
¡°Uruaaaaaaaa!¡±
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡±
Against Aka¡¯s upper, I pushed my face out with a lot of momentum.
As a result, Aka¡¯s fist was thrust against my forehead, and the sound of ¡®Gusha¡¯ was heard.
¡°M¡ My goodness ¡. that¡¯s not the way to use your heeeeaad!!¡±
I can hear Shinobu¡¯s surprised voice¡. I can hear?
If I can hear, then I¡¯m not dead yet.
¡ºNo¡ does not seem so. That is the right way to use your head!¡»
And I can hear Tre¡¯ainar voice. Then I ¡
¡°Tsu, Itsuuuuuuu!?¡±
It hurts, like my skull was crushed¡ But the pain means that I¡¯m still alive.
But, just now, I heard something crack.
Then, the one that broke¡.
¡°Gaaaaaaaagugaaaaaaaaaaaah¡±
Mr. Aka roars. But then I saw it.
Aka¡¯s fist, which hit me, was swollen.
Why?
¡ºMy goodness. epting an opponent¡¯s fist with a firm forehead is one of the advanced techniques in fist fighting defense. Of course, receiving it takes its toll, but¡¡ in the confrontation of the head butt and the fist with the whole body¡¯s weight behind it¡¡ you simply received your share.¡»
Take it by the forehead, not the face?
¡ºTis the Advanced technique¡ ¡¾Great Demon Head-Butt!¡¿¡»
I didn¡¯t aim for it.
It was just annoyed by Shinobu¡¯s voice.
Or, the contents of my head are pretty good¡. but¡¡ if this happens¡
¡ºA slight deviation from the forehead, and your face will be destroyed. Therefore¡¡ what you require is excellent dynamic vision. However, on its own, tis not enough. What you most require is to thrust yourself out without fear¡. heart.¡»
If you just avoid Aka¡¯s fist, you¡¯ll just irritate him.
But what about this?
Can I take it a little more¡ I wonder?
¡°Ugaaaaaaah!¡±
¡°Oraaaaaaaaa!!¡±
Aka attacks me again with the other undamaged fist.
Now, consciously, intentionally, muster the heart, and head-butt again!
¡°Uga!? Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
¡°Kuh, b-broken¡ huh¡¡ but¡¡ what¡¯s going on?¡±
The field of view is bright red. I don¡¯t know if my eyes exploded or if my head was cracked open and sttered covered my view.
However, that hasn¡¯t happened yet.
Then, Mr. Aka, who should have lost his sense of self, looked at his fist for a moment, seeming puzzled by the situation.
But from there!
¡°I took two shots, right? Akaaaaaaaa!!¡±
¡°Gagua!?¡±
¡°Oraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
Thrust the body and drive the upper. There is feedback. A definite rattle on the liver and jaw¡¡
¡°Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
¡°Tsu, ¡¾Great Demon Head-Butt!!¡¿¡±
Even though my attacknded, Aka did not look frightened, and instead hit me with his broken fist without hesitation.
Therefore, I did not hesitate to thrust out my forehead.
¡°Wh, at¡ what, are we¡¡ looking at.¡±
¡°This¡I don¡¯t¡¡±
Shinobu seems to be dumbfounded.
Fuuma and the others look at us with dying bodies¡. well, it doesn¡¯t matter!
I hope you don¡¯t get in the way!
Now is the time for me and Mr. Aka!
¡°I¡¯ll give you one more shot, Mr. Aka! Fly to the end! ¡¾Special Move ? Heavenly Comet ¨D¨D¨D¡±
And now it¡¯s my turn. A punch with the right fist positioned between the hook and the upper, and thrown straight out from there.
It¡¯s a smash.
My technique name is ¡¾Heavenly Comet ? Supreme Annihtion Fist ¡¿.
However, now I don¡¯t care about such a thing.
It¡¯s not that the skill name is cool or terrible.
No, it¡¯s not the time to be cool. Isn¡¯t that right? Tre¡¯ainar!
¡ºYes, tis now the time to shout!¡»
Therefore, I do not shout the skill name that was screaming halfway, but rather the true technique name taught by the master.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash!!¡¿¡±
¡°Guagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
At that moment, I felt like my heart was set free. I don¡¯t care about the public eye or the impressions of the people.
If I can shout magnificently, I¡¯ll flourish!
¡°How¡¯s it going, Mr. Aka?¡±
With my whole body smash, Aka¡¯s chin jumps up.
Completely defenseless¡¡ Then, one more shot!
¡°Next time I¡¯ll give you an extra punch, Aka! I¡¯m prepared¡ª¡±
¡°Agaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
However, Mr. Aka quickly repositions himself.
With an expression like an enraged wild beast, he raises one leg, swings it further, and then strikes me like he throws his fist.
My fist won¡¯t stop.
Then ¡¡
¡°That¡¯s right, so¡ I guess you¡¯re saying it¡¯s my turn too!!¡±
Then I¡¯ll take advantage of that powerful punch.
I push my fist forward and take one step further.
Me and Aka¡¯s fist cross.
¡ºIndeed. Go!¡»
I heard Tre¡¯ainar shout in a rare fit of excitement¡.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Cross Counteeeeeeeeeeeeer!!¡¿¡±
The counter jumps into the opponent¡¯s linear attack and strikes his fist to intersect.
If it¡¯s true, it¡¯s not so easy to pull off.
But I was confident that I could do it.
I didn¡¯t blink at Aka¡¯s fist, and I took it with my forehead wlessly. My eyes are already in good enough shape to see everything, even if the view is dyed red.
The sensation in my fist, as I punched Mr. Aka in the face. His nose and teeth may have been broken.
¡ºFuhahahahaha ¡ splendid. And¡.. fuhahahaha, that girl, and those shinobi are already taking their hats off. Yes, burn it in your memory, foolish. narrow humans! The world. That there is my disciple! And this is the fight!¡»
I can see that my heart is pounding.
I hit my friend in the face with all my might.
But now it¡¯s Mr. Aka¡¯s turn to hit me.
¡°Come on¡ your turn¡¡ Mr. Aka¡. Come on¡ Yes.¡±
¡°Guru¡ Garrl¡¡ Ugoa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡±
Although he is a wounded beast, Aka still swings his fist several times.
Then, I¡¯ll just¡.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Head Bu¡ guo!!??¡±
My neck¡¯s bent!?
¡ºNo¡.. child¡»
Not good. To avoid being pushed by Aka¡¯s power, I put a lot of force around my neck to perform a head-butt.
But then, I¡¯ve been receiving Aka¡¯s power so far¡. now¡¡ how many times?
¡°It¡¯s no use. Your body is already¡¡±
¡°No wonder¡ that physique disparity¡.¡±
My neck muscles and my head are already at their limits, and my body is in pain¡. Ah ¡. not good¡ I can¡¯t think of anything¡. No!
¡°Thinking¡ Do I need to do that? All I need is heart! Even if my neck is bent, my heart won¡¯t break! Not one crack!!¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°Even if everything is gone¡ From there, power will spring again!¡±
I naturally clenched my fists. From there, twist the fist like a drill, use the shoulders, elbows and wrists.
¡°Re, Really impossible. Limit. Stop it!¡±
Can you hear me? Limit? Don¡¯t be stupid¡ After all¡¡
¡°Where is written as ¡®the limit¡¯, I read ¡®Start here!''¡±
I can¡¯t open my eyes too much anymore, so I just punched it out.
¡°Even if I get irreparable wounds¡ Rather that than irreparable regrets!¡±
Instead of jumping and hitting Aka¡¯s face¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Heartbreeeeeeeak!!¡¿¡±
¡°Eeh!!??¡±
I hit Aka¡¯s left chest, in the heart.
Chapter 60 – The Fist Beyond the Limit
Chapter 60 ¨C The Fist Beyond the Limit
Tranted by: Sads07
I was doing it unconsciously.
Breakthrough is a technique that ds overflowing magical power over the whole body.
The magical power that was fastened is inted, and the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿ can be performed.
So, what if you inte it, and then concentrate on it?
Put all the magic into my head, put all the magic into my right fist, and switch it once.
It is a dangerous act in the flow ofbat.
Because concentrating the magical power on one point gives a big deal of damage if you attack the opponent¡¯s defenseless areas.
However, Mr. Aka, who has forgotten his current self and was increasingly monotonous in attacking, was able to handle this.
With simple power, Mr. Aka is strong. However, because the form is also battered, the power is inevitably dispersed.
If I¡¯m focused on a single point, my head-butt, and my fist, it¡¯ll reach Mr. Aka.
¡°Ruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!¡±
The ¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Blow¡¿ drove into Mr. Aka¡¯s left chest.
Waver. Waver. He was wavering.
¡ºWell now... whates next?¡»
Mr. Aka¡¯s roar, which had enough intensity to shake the mountain and the forest, stopped.
... It looked like.
¡°Ga ... a ... ga ... gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!¡±
¡°Ugh!?¡±
The next moment, my body was blown away by Aka¡¯s arm, who appeared too shaken to attack.
My back, bones, what happened?
Tossed through the trees, was I?
¡°You!?¡±
¡ºChild!¡»
This is bad. I¡¯m a mess now. I waspletely defenseless.
My body wasn¡¯t responding anymore.
I can¡¯t think with a calm mind.
¡°Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!¡±
Aka, who seemed to have stopped for a moment, was still crying like a wild beast, and trying to walk up to me as I was worn out.
I¡¯m worn out.
On the other hand, Aka seems to have a slightly swollen fist and a few bruises on his face, but other than that, he doesn¡¯t seem to have much damage.
¡°Tch.... So tough... after all...¡±
My neck... dammit, I can¡¯t execute the usual move.... can I stand up? My waist? Shouldn¡¯t I feel pain on my back.
¡°Upupu, ough, bare it...geh.... hah, hah...¡±
I was hit in the belly, so I couldn¡¯t help spitting out some stomach content.
My eyes are starting to flicker, and I don¡¯t really understand how blood got into my eyes in the first ce.... Somehow ... if I¡¯m left as it is, I might die without doing anything....
¡°...... jeez.... all the same...... hey! Hey, listen! Even now...... is reaching my hand out to you still no good!?¡±
My feet are trembling so that I can¡¯t use the steps.
Dynamic visual acuity is of no use in my current condition.
I don¡¯t have the power to punch anymore.
It is impossible to thrust out my head.
My heart jostles, shake and squeeze over and over....
¡°Ah, really... when friends fight this much... it¡¯s awful.... I never knew...... I..... didn¡¯t have a lot of friends.¡±
All I can do is to get up again at least.
As I leaned on a tree, I felt whish as my feet trembled like a newborn faun¡¯s, but still clenched my teeth and stood again.
¡ºChild¡»
¡°......?¡±
¡ºTis considerable, owing to being blown away, still you have gained distance... Get your breathing in order.... There is more you can do, is there not?¡»
And while Shinobu was desperately trying to stop me, my master won¡¯t stop me, he has no intention to.
Breathing? If that¡¯s the case...
¡ºInhale quickly through your nose... exhale slowly from the lower abdomen.¡»
¡°Soo... Haa...¡±
Ah, surely, a little bit in my head ... no, it¡¯s banging painfully but, a little ...
¡°Eh ...? That ¡®breath¡¯. No, it¡¯s different. That¡¯s...¡±
¡°Oh... to establish the paired breathing, ¡®Evasive Breath Control¡¯... A unique breathing technique imparted to the Japone-style martial arts.... how would he! Shinobu... who is this man really?¡±
¡ºHmpf, you ninjas! You underestimate the Demon Realm Martial Arts, do you not? We are already more than 10,000 years ahead ¨D¨D¨D¡»
Well, I don¡¯t have the energy to put in a retort anymore, but thanks to getting my breathing in order, I can move about once more.
¡°Hey... Mr. Aka... I also.... rather...... got a reasonably cool face, right? So, just a little bit.... Mr. Aka should remember it too, right?¡±
¡°Garrul, Aguauu!¡±
¡°Me... Mr. Aka... even though we¡¯re fighting, what¡¯s important is Mr. Aka has forgotten himself in the first ce... I¡¯m the one who¡¯s been fighting for a while but.... we¡¯re talking, aren¡¯t we?¡±
And just one more time.
That¡¯s it.
That¡¯s why Aka has forgotten me.
Remember a little of the self you forgot, and if you can afford it, remember me too.
¡°Hey... Mr. Aka... after this fight .... let¡¯s see if we can make up...¡±
¡°Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
¡°...... Ah...... I see...... chattering is... I¡¯ll tell you this with my fist! Mr. Aka¡±
At that moment, Aka runs to rush at me.
Thank you.
I can¡¯t run, so he¡¯lle over.
¡°Shinobu... don¡¯t stop this.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t... I couldn¡¯t stop this from the beginning ...e on ...¡±
Mr. Aka swung his fist.
Counter? No, it¡¯s no longer possible. I can¡¯t get the timing anymore.
Then......
¡°It¡¯s thest one! Take it all!¡±
All the remaining magical power is in my right fist.
Just as you throw yourself out, putting all your strength and weight into it........ I¡¯m going full swing, too!
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jolt Blow!! ¡¿¡±
At that moment, our two fists just bumped into each other.
My strength and magic. Aka¡¯s power and rage.
No matter how you think about this fist on fist sh, Aka is stronger.
I¡¯m about to be blown away again.
But at least...
¡°U, ah, oraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
I grasped the ground firmly with both feet, stomped on it, and endured so as not to be pushed away, even if I can¡¯t beat Aka.
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
Endure. Prove that I¡¯m here.
I can do it now.
Prove it.
¨D¨DAs the son of the hero who saved the world, isn¡¯t it embarrassing?
¡°Shut up!¡±
¨D¨DNo matter how much of a prodigy the princess is, it¡¯s pathetic that the son of a hero can¡¯t win even once.
¡°Shut uup!¡±
¨D¨DOh my, the mental spirit of a slime as usual. I believe today should be a mock battle as well as the announcement of the written test results.... Did you lose to the princess?
¡°Shuut uup!¡±
¨D¨DEarth¡¯s going toe out, too, right? But maybe we¡¯re already... I might be as good if not better than Earth or the princess.
¡°Shuut uuup!¡±
¨D¨DI¡¯m sorry, but be prepared. We¡¯ve gone through a real battle and we¡¯re already leagues ahead of you.
¡°Shuut uuuup!¡±
¨D¨DSuch a technique... that¡¯s... it¡¯s not a skill used by warriors!
¡°Shuuut uuuuup!¡±
A bunch of words that have been thrown at me until yesterday came to mind.
I became Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple and became stronger in order to revoke all the words that had been said by my childhood friends, by the world, by my first love, by my parents, all the words that had been said before.
But that¡¯s enough.
Now I¡¯ve abandoned the tendencies of such words.
Even if I throw away the title of the Son of the Hero, what I prove now is the determination I swore to Aka.
¡°If I can prove it now, that¡¯s fine!!¡±
Both my legs dig into the ground, bored into by pressure from above, and my thighs spread back and forth and will reach the ground before long.
Honestly, if I hadn¡¯t worked on my flexibility for two months, my thighs wouldn¡¯t have spread so limberly.
And, if I didn¡¯t have those two months, it would be impossible to endure this without being blown away.
¡°Heh... so...... with this...... it¡¯s fine...... huh...¡±
In the end, I couldn¡¯t even push my fists, let alone knock Aka.
However, I was not pushed out and I endured.
That alone, I did everything and felt refreshed.
And Mr. Aka?
¡°Uga... Ga...¡±
I can¡¯t even raise my arm anymore.... ah...... if I get hit now, I¡¯m...
¡°Ah ... ru ... su¡±
But the next attack never came upon me.
I don¡¯t have the power to raise my head anymore, but I just shout to him.
¡°Oh...¡±
¡°Un ... un ... Ah, Earth ...¡±
¡°...... Oh...... Wee back... Mr. Aka...¡±
Oh, he¡¯s back.... Mr. Aka....
Me..... Mr. Aka... I¡¯m so relieved... did I do it?
¡°Mr. Aka... Sorry.... Humans.... picked on Mr. Aka...... I¡¯ve also hit you, a lot.... The cake identally got ruined... no good, also I....
¡°How... Earth, oh, Earth is, very...... very...... this, who hurt ya like this.... Come... I¡¯ll...¡±
¡°But, after all.... Mr. Aka... I thought I became much stronger, too.... I still have a long way to go.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry.... Earth.... I¡¯m sorry....¡±
That? What? Did something fall from above?
Rain? Wrong. But somehow, warm water...... came down from above.
¡°Mr. Aka... there are people who fight each other.... even humans, sh with each other and hate each other...... but that way... if you face the other party...... you can reach the point where you ept them...¡±
¡°Earth¡±
¡°They can be better friends than ever before... I suppose.... maybe. Me, too.... It¡¯s so cool.... a lot of work though....¡±
Ah ... I¡¯m already ... my consciousness .... I have to tell you, before that...
¡°Mr. Aka... can¡¯t live here anymore, but...... where will you go? Wanna team-up with me.... how about we go around the world?¡±
¡°Huh?! ...... Earth...... you......?¡±
That¡¯s what I was thinking during our fight.
If you quarrel, finish, and make up ....
¡°If me and Mr. Aka team up... no enemies...... the strongestbination...¡±
Who cares if they see us.
We can go around the world in a grand manner.
If anyoneins, we can kick their butts.
I¡¯m sure it¡¯ll be fun.
¡°Earth is... small, but...... after all...... so great, so amazing...¡±
Hey, that status is reversed... too much...... Oh? Mr. Aka? My voice will soon...Then, instead...
¡ºAh... I saw it... this time, to the end... Well done, child.¡»
I was happy to finally hear those words, and I¡¯m satisfied.
So, instead of words, I made a peace sign.
To Mr. Aka and the master who watched over me.
And, finally beyond the limits, my consciousness ceased.

Chapter 61 ¨C Miracle
Tranted by: Sads07
My first life-threatening battle. Now that I think about it, I wonder how stupid and reckless it was.
But it¡¯s strange.
For the first time in my life, I was proud of myself.
I¡¯m somewhat hopeless. Even though I¡¯m my parent¡¯s son, I have no talent.
Disqualified as the son of a Hero.
A failure who couldn¡¯t live up to everyone¡¯s expectations.
I shut my ears to all those words, threw out the foulnguage to everyone, and ran away from the home I was born and raised in.
And today, I am myself for the first time...
¡°...... Night?¡±
When I opened my eyes, it was already night.... My head is in pieces!
¡°Ou, urgh... iyaa¡±
Everything inside and outside feels broken, it¡¯s practically broken.... my head.
When I unintentionally tried to massage it, I found that my head was covered with bandages.
Not only the head, but also the fist and the whole body was treated......
¡°Earth... Did ya just wake up?¡±
¡°...... Mr. Aka?¡±
Under the starry sky, I wasid on a straw covered surface, and when I got up, there was Mr. Aka, cooking something in a pot under a fire.
¡°Mr. Aka, did you give me treatment?¡±
¡°No, it wasn¡¯t me.¡±
I thought it was Mr. Aka, but then who?
¡°That group that attacked me... it was the young girl. She put a lot of ointment on it.¡±
¡°...... Shinobu...¡±
That girl... she treated me very carefully.
¡°The guys who attacked... I can¡¯t trust em... but that girl... she even kneeled on the ground, asking me ta let her care for Earth...¡±
No, it¡¯s not just me. Mr. Aka was also bandaged up.... I see... she......
¡°Is that right...¡±
¡°That girl, is she Earth¡¯s woman?¡±
¡°No, no, no! Not at all! Definitely wrong.¡±
Well, I was almost confessed to, but it¡¯s still unclear after all. [1]
No, she¡¯s a beautiful woman, and a pity about her chest, but she wasn¡¯t that bad.
And, it was my ¡®first time¡¯ having a woman ¡®Fall in love¡¯ with me.
¡°But she told me ta give this ta Earth.¡±
¡°Oh? What is it?¡±
Saying that, Mr. Aka handed me something.
It was like a book, and on the cover it says:
¡°...... an Exchange diary?¡±
¡°It is. Ta hand it ta Earth without fail, said ya¡¯d understand?¡±
¡°Exchange diary. Come to think of it, that¡¯s....¡±
Something you do with a sweetheart. That is, to exchange diaries.
It is so only two people can exchange what they cannot usually say out loud.
And finally, if at the end of the notebook, a small ¡®I like¡¯ is written, it¡¯ll make me jump up and down on a bed making a fuss.
To that extent, it was a sacred act for me, as if I were on a date in the city.
¡°Even though... that girl, we¡¯re not in that kind of rtionship.... what should I do....¡±
I was shocked when I turned the diary around.
Thereupon, on the first page all of a sudden, words thatpletely filled the page were written.
¡°Whoa!? What the? Um... ¡¸I heard your name. But I haven¡¯t written your name here yet. Because I want you to formally introduce yourself to me, I¡¯d like to call your name again, after telling me from your mouth. Well, you showed me your manly figure. I, my brother, and myrades, too, deeply regret our shallowness and apologize to you and your friend for making such an unforgiving mistake. I¡¯m so sorry.¡¹.....what a serious apology.¡±
More precisely it¡¯s an exchange diary, something like a letter, and a written apology.
¡°That¡¯s right. The child didn¡¯t do nothing, but...... I said she didn¡¯t have ta write the apology.¡±
¡°Hmm¡±
Rather, she had a strange personality, tended to be annoying and some odd times, but she¡¯s not a bad fellow.
This message conveys her feelings.
But......
¡°Well... uh? ¡¸I fell in love with you, as I think you already know. To be honest, I want to cross that line right away. If you feel like it, please call me. I¡¯lle running in two seconds.¡¹ O, wha, Hey...¡± [2]
¡°Ah! It quickly turned ta a love letter. Earth, ya real popr. How sweet and sour.¡±
¡°Mr. Aka¡±
Suddenly a surprise attack love confession... I might be ashamed, d and embarrassed... And, Aka is smiling, too.
¡°Geez, that girl... ah~, what now? ¡¸But if you want to get to know each other more, I¡¯ll respect that, and I hope we start by getting to know each other like this. ¡¹ .... huh... good grief, she really~... uh huh.¡±
I felt a bit awkward at her clumsy effort to seriously get closer to me, even though she seemed a little embarrassed as I turned the page...

This...... There¡¯s still more than half of it left. [3]
That...... Somehow, there are terrible questions and nk answers.... What? What? You want me to answer these?
¡°S-Scary. I¡¯m scared! What¡¯s this? How many questions are there? I mean, towards the end...... Where would you build a grave? What is this!? Scaryyyy!¡±
Suddenly I felt a chill and was horrified. No, no, no, it¡¯s impossible, impossible.
¡°Awesome Earth! As expected, yer amazing!¡±
¡°Mr. Aka, this is not something to praise! That girl¡¯s a little, I mean, she¡¯s quite weird!¡± [4]
For just a moment, she had my heart fluttering with joy, but before long a sense of panic came out.
I concluded that I was afraid to read the diary any longer, so I closed it.
¡°And... erm, essentially Shinobu...... did they?¡±
The wrecked remains of Aka¡¯s house and fields have been tidied up a little, but they were nowhere to be seen.
For the time being, while I was copsed, I¡¯m relieved that Mr. Aka was not attacked again or anything like that, but I¡¯m worried about what happened afterwards.
¡°They left, went down the mountain. That girl and the others were touched by Earth¡¯s brave figure.... they said they were foolish.¡±
¡°Heh...¡±
¡°They wanted ta make amends for the house, the field, and so on. But, I said no. that they should just go already.¡±
¡°......Really......¡±
I guess it¡¯s no use apologizing now.
So, Mr. Aka didn¡¯t retaliate in return, he didn¡¯t get involved anymore it seems.
Furthermore....
¡°Besides, I¡¯m not going ta live here anymore.¡±
Aka said that andughed, and I was happy about it, and Iughed, too.
¡°Ah, you won¡¯t! You¡¯re going around the world, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
The proposal I made before I fell.
Let¡¯s team-up and travel the world together.
Mr. Aka epted the words.
I was so happy about that.
¡°Hey, where do we go? I¡¯ve never been far away from Imperial City. I only know it as knowledge. I¡¯ve seen it in books, the domain at the bottom of the sea, the country above the clouds, or the Demon Realm.¡±
¡°That is. Clouds and the sea are fairy tales, but...... The Demon Realm.... I left the Demon King Army, I¡¯ll never go back home.¡±
¡°Is that so? Or rather, Mr. Aka, you quit the Demon King army... no...¡±
At that time, I almost heard it, but I stopped.
It doesn¡¯t matter anymore.
I won¡¯t ask until Mr. Aka talks about it himself.
I don¡¯t care about the past, I said that just yesterday.
¡°Hey, Earth. After all this, it should be enough for today, right?¡±
¡°Mr. Aka?¡±
Then, Mr. Aka had a gentle face, yet he said, ¡®Let¡¯s call it a day¡¯.
I thought it would be fun to talk about what to do from now on, but the moment he suggested it, I was already at my limit.
¡°Well, I¡¯m getting sleepy again.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it. Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±
¡°Ah, no... actually, not that much... but if you¡¯ve made something...¡±
¡°No, yer too tired, it won¡¯t go ta yer stomach. The soup will be there tomorrow morning, so today ya should rest.¡±
Saying that, Aka put out the fire on the pot he had been boiling.
At that moment, the area suddenly darkened, but we could still recognize each other.
Because the stars were shining.
¡°Earth, today... was really amazing.¡±
¡°Yes, but I don¡¯t know....¡±
¡°Ya were, Thank ya. Ah, sorry.¡±
¡°Mr. Aka... let¡¯s not do that anymore, okay? I simply did what I did...¡±
¡°...... That...¡±
Saying so, Mr. Aka dropped his big body on the spot next to me with a bang, and we looked up at the night sky together.
¡°...... Earth... are ya not prejudiced against the demons?¡±
¡°...... Mr. Aka?¡±
¡°At first, of course, ya thought I was an enemy at the time, but, ya trusted me right away... today, ya worked so hard for me. Why?¡±
Mr. Aka asked me while looking at the stars next to me. A simple question.
¡°Yesterday, I made a joke about being a disciple of the Great Demon King.... but why did I do that?¡±
I was not joking about Tre¡¯ainar though.
Even so, I¡¯m not prejudiced against the demons? No, that¡¯s not the case.
But I haven¡¯t experienced the war, also the presence of Tre¡¯ainar... after all......
¡°There¡¯s no prejudice... I¡¯m human, but...... maybe it¡¯s because I don¡¯t really like people.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°In that sense, demon or human, they would be fine ... if it was someone who sees me ...¡±
I was saying that, and though I was sad, I still said so.
¡°I was raised without any inconvenience, a blessed young master in a good environment... but I understood I was a bad kid.... I was unable to meet the expectations of others ...¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°...That¡¯s all I wanted... my ssmates made a big fuss about me saying what I should be .... they pushed the invisible title on their own, and it followed around all the time like a curse.... It was so painful ... no one ... saw me as ¡®just Earth ¡®.¡±
My life so far. And it was in the previous match that everything became decisive.
¡°I ran away because I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore... I threw abusive words and said I would nevere back again.... Run away.... And I got lost in the forest... I met Mr. Aka.¡±
¡°... Is that right ...¡±
¡°Ah. So..... Even in the short time we met... the first time someone said I was purely ¡®amazing¡¯.... it was a demon, an Ogre.... I thought I¡¯d definitely had to do something.¡±
Well, I don¡¯t think I would havee up with that idea if I hadn¡¯t met Tre¡¯ainar in the first ce.
If not, I would have stayed in Imperial City forever, stillpromising on the disappointing evaluation of others.
But there are times when you just go out into the world for a little while.
I felt very troubled in a very narrow world.
¡°That¡¯s... ah, I¡¯ve been living on the Surface world for more than ten years.... Earth is the only one ta say that...... ta able ta meet Earth.... is a miracle.¡±
¡°In that sense, the only human lying down and talking while looking up at the stars with an ogre, including the Surface and the Demon Realm, is probably just me. That¡¯s a miracle!¡±
¡°It is!¡±
Saying that, weughed. We wereughing purely and sincerely like children.
¡°Well... let¡¯s go to bed today.... wake up tomorrow.... then think a lot about the future! ¡¹
¡°Yes.¡±
I¡¯ll be talking about it forever if I stay like this, but let¡¯s do it tomorrow.
There¡¯s so much to talk about.
But, today I¡¯m too tired as expected.... Oh, as soon as I realized that I went to sleep ...
¡°Like that... say no.... still, tha.... asking.¡±
Hmmm?! Mr. Aka... What was that... I¡¯m already sleepy....
¡°Earth... ta meet.... wanted ta be friends with... help me out...¡±
Ah~, because soon, we¡¯ll team-up after this, there¡¯s no point in saying thank you to each and every little thing.... Really, Mr. Aka....
¨C Earth, thank ya
Hmm? dazzling......?
¡°Eh? Blinds...What? Oh, no, it¡¯s already morning!?¡±
What? I felt like I was asleep a while ago....
¡°Yeah, I fell asleep in an instant... Wow, the sun is already...¡±
I was just going to close my eyes a little, but it was already morning.
The sun shined brightly, and we could hear the bird¡¯s singing.
What¡¯s more, it wasn¡¯t like early morning, it¡¯s like I¡¯ve been oversleeping...
¡ºOnly that much got you exhausted it seems.¡»
¡°Whoa, Tre¡¯ainar!?¡±
Well, I was talking with Mr. Akast night, so I left Tre¡¯ainar alone.
That? Are you sulking?
When I woke up, Tre¡¯ainar sat with an extremely serious expression and was gazing at something.
It¡¯s a pot of soup made by Mr. Aka, which was left uneaten yesterday.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar, did you ...? What is this paper?¡±
I noticed something on the lid of the pot.
It¡¯s a piece of paper.
Was this there yesterday?
¡ºChild, tis addressed to you.¡»
¡°Huh? Me?¡±
Not knowing what it was, I took the paper, and it read ¡°To Earth¡±.
A letter?
¡°What the hell is this? ...... I know, yes, Mr. Aka¡¯s already up...Eh?¡±
At that time, rather than the letter, I looked around thinking Mr. Aka was sleeping next to me.
¡°...... Ah ...... Where¡¯s Mr. Aka?¡±
However, Mr. Aka wasn¡¯t there any longer.
[S1] Dude, how much clearer does she need to make it?
[S2] And even a free Booty Call card. Most need hours to arrange one, this lucky bastard can get his in 2 seconds.
[S3] Okay, new challenge! Answer these questions in the discord. C¡¯mon, I dare y¡¯all!!!!
[S4] That¡¯s putting it kindly. Fatal Attraction anyone???
Big News! [We Hate Isekai] picked up the manga for Scation. Chapters [1] & [2] are both up. I know some folks had issue with my attempt, but darn it, that was my first try. Comments made me cry. Anyway d we get to experience the manga going forward.
Chapter 62 – Intermission (Ogre)
Chapter 62 ¨C Intermission (Ogre)
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Earth... I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Earth. Are yer injuries okay? Actually, I¡¯m really worried.
Well, at that time I didn¡¯t even know myself, but now I remember clearly.
Yesterday, I hit Earth so much.
And I also remember that for some reason, Earth did his best for me.
Oh, I¡¯ve fought against humans, but I¡¯ve never had a quarrel.
And, with no hate, with no will ta kill, ya put yer life on the line for my sake, no member of the Demon race would have done that.
I was happy ya yed with me, ate my meal, and invited me ta go on a trip together.
Well, I didn¡¯t have a reliablepanion in the Demon King¡¯s Army, and I was alone.
When I was small, I lived in the dark elf vige of the Demon Realm, not with the Ogres.
The Ogre of the Demon Realm is expected to have power, be a soldier, be a bodyguard, do the hardbor. Mother and Father are friends with Dark Elves and work as bodyguards for the vige.
Everyone was kind, peaceful, and I thought we would be happy forever.
But the war with humans ruined everything.
Both Dark Elves and Ogres were drafted.
Even with my father and mother, I joined a unit led by General Hakuki of the Demon Army, where I met other Ogres for the first time.
Oh, I was scared.
He mercilessly wounded and bruised those who surrendered, and in the end, killed and buried them alive withughter, destroying viges, cities, and countries, and setting fire ta them at the end.
But what the people who attacked me yesterday are saying is wrong.
It¡¯s sad they say that Ogres are ¡®that kind of race¡¯, but I can deny it.
Father and mother also changed. They both looked the same as the other Ogres and were just rampaging.
Earth, I¡¯m sure ya¡¯ll tell me, ¡®That¡¯s not true¡¯.
But, it is,
Well, I saw that, and pretend not ta see it.
I didn¡¯t have the courage ta stop my friends and parents, so I couldn¡¯t help humans.
All those humans died in front of me. Oh, I was right there.
And, it was on that day.
I just happened to see it.
The day of the joint operation with other troops.
Where all the dark elves, who were kind in our hometown, were killing humans with evil faces.
Just like the Ogres, whileughing happily.
Seeing that, I knew. Ogres weren¡¯t such a race originally.
Everyone has changed because of the ¡®war¡¯.
I was sad, bitter, and I almost cried.
Someday, I might be fired up like that without meaning ta, I was scared just thinking so.
Then, before I realized it, I escaped the demon army without permission, and I ran away from the war.
I was a traitor, and I couldn¡¯t go back ta the Demon Realm anymore.
I heard rumors in the wind, that my father and mother were dead, the dark elves were destroyed in the war, and my hometown was gone.
The war would soon be over, but the remnants of the Demon King¡¯s Army are still in the Demon Realm, and I¡¯m still a traitor, nothing but.
That¡¯s why I was hiding in the Surface world for so long.
But for more than ten years, I was lonely.
I wanted a friend ta stay with me.
That was all.
I thought that if I couldn¡¯t go back ta the Demon Realm, I would just make friends with humans.
But I soon realized that I was naive.
It was much harder to make friends with humans.
Naturally. Just because the war was over, there was no reason for them ta ept me.
No matter what, I was afraid, I would run away, and gradually I tried calling out but they were too scared of me.
The truth is, when I met Earth, I was nervous and scared when I first called out ta him.
So I was really happy to be friends with Earth.
I was the happiest I¡¯ve ever been since I was alone, when ya said we would team-up.
But that¡¯s why I can¡¯t go on a journey with Earth.
Oh, I¡¯m an ogre after all.
Ya can¡¯t get into inns if I¡¯m with ya. Ya can¡¯t even go ta a food shop. Ya can¡¯t even enter a town. I think many people will look at you with strange eyes.
Above all, if ya stay with me as it is, they may think that Earth is a bad person.
And, I might hurt Earth again, like yesterday.
Yer my only friend in the world, so I want ta bother Earth.
¡°...... Earth......... I¡¯m sorry.¡±
I¡¯ve lived in this mountain, in the forest for over ten years, but I never thought I¡¯d go out in this way.
I thought I¡¯d be kicked out by humans.
That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d go out for a human friend.
I¡¯ll miss ya, and I wish I could y more with Earth.
But that¡¯s fine.
¡°Aka¨Deh!!!!Where are you¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D! Aka¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deh!!!!¡±
It was Earth¡¯s voice screaming loudly echoed.
Ya must have read the letter.
I¡¯m sorry, Earth.
¡°Why... Why is that? You said we¡¯d go for an adventure together! Why?¡±
He is frantically trying ta find me.
I¡¯m really sorry about this, Earth.
I¡¯m d that Earth, a human, feels like this.
But then, I go towards Earth.
¡°Ah...¡±
From my eyes... it was like yesterday.... That¡¯s...
¡°I don¡¯t get it... tears... even at times like this...¡±
Sometimes I cry because I feel hopeless, lonely, scared, or sad.
But these tears are different.
It¡¯s lonely and sad, but that¡¯s all.
I¡¯m crying with joy.
¡°Oh... hang in there.... don¡¯t let anger control ya.... be stronger.... yes, I have ta be as strong as Earth...¡±
Oh, I¡¯ll never forget Earth.
Thank ya. Good luck.
Instead of wiping away the tears, at the end I made a Peace Sign towards the mountain.
Chapter 63 – Something
Chapter 63 ¨C Something
Tranted by: Sads07
No matter how much I searched, I couldn¡¯t find Mr. Aka.
The letter left for me was about Aka¡¯s feelings and his past.
Lived in a Dark Elf vige in the Demon Realm. He joined the Demon King¡¯s Army in the war and was in a unit led by a great general who left a mark on history.
He couldn¡¯t stand the misery of the war and how the people who had changed, so he ran away.
And he couldn¡¯t travel with me.
As I clenched the letter, I couldn¡¯t help venting out my anger.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up...¡±
Iined to Tre¡¯ainar sitting in front of me, facing thest pot of breakfast soup that Aka had left behind.
¡ºI respected his resolve. Also, he was the one whose life was ruined in the war that I led.¡»
¡°So, why not? I don¡¯t think Mr. Aka is a nuisance! Together, from here on...... a lot of things... as a team.... we...¡±
At the same time, something came into my eyes.
Still, I continued.
But that¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar says to me.
¡ºAt present. However, there is no telling what the future will bring. The journey of an Ogre and a human traversing the world would be much too conspicuous, and the gazes much too strenuous.¡»
¡°I don¡¯t care about the gazes around me!¡±
Tre¡¯ainar would have known when Mr. Aka left.
If you had woken me up then, I might have stopped Mr. Aka.
¡ºDid you, who cared more about the world¡¯s view than anyone else, just say that?¡»
¡°eh... That¡¯s...¡±
And the boomerang pierces once again.
¡ºIndeed, you may not find it a nuisance if you travel together with him and get into trouble. You are tender-hearted....¡»
¡°I-If that¡¯s the case!¡±
¡ºHowever, for him, it might be heartbreaking. It may be harsh to say, but the public¡¯s eyes are not as lenient as you think. Because he understands it better than anyone, he left.¡»
I couldn¡¯t say anything back.
Aka and Tre¡¯ainar were thinking more than I was, while I was just thinking that it would be fun to travel with Mr. Aka.
¡ºThe eyes around you do not matter? Do not make meugh. No matter how aggressive your remarks, you who know nothing of the world, its people or of demons, have no basis. Tis unreliable.¡»
After all, I¡¯m just talking.
It seemed so.
And I¡¯m sure I¡¯m right.
I don¡¯t know anything, I¡¯m weak, and nothing I say is reliable.
That¡¯s what it is.
¡°But... if that¡¯s the case...... that¡¯s why...... as it is, Mr. Aka... isn¡¯t the burden too much...¡±
I understand what Tre¡¯ainar is saying, but that¡¯s too much for Aka to be saved.
He didn¡¯t do anything wrong, but was just kicked out of the house he originally lived in.
¡º...... wrong..... Tis not the case.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
I couldn¡¯t do anything after all. Tre¡¯ainar, who read my mind, strongly denied it.
¡ºChild, tis no constion. That ogre must have truly been saved by meeting you. You certainly became his friend. Tis why he is no longer before you.¡»
¡°...... But...¡±
¡ºYou know nothing of the world. You know not the depths of humans and demons. Your power is weak, as well. But... nevertheless, even though you were human, you befriended an Ogre. I am the first to witness such. Truly, you have done well.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words reached my heart, and that¡¯s why I was so frustrated.
If I was stronger.
A world in which me and Aka could walk around openly with noint from anyone... If only the world were like that......
¡ºI believe... your father also shared a simr dream.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºInstead of simply fighting against the demons with hatred, to go beyond the walls of demons and races, to see a world free of conflict, something-something... he said.¡»
It was the first time I heard of it.
My father did that.
¡ºWell, by whatever means Hiro came to that concept... a dozen years after my death...... this is the status quo.¡»
¡°Eh...well... well then!¡±
At that time, I simply thought up an idea ¡ª
¡ºIn the first ce, I knew things would not go well. Rather, tis impossible. Absolutely.¡»
¡°Hm... oh... eh?¡±
¡ºFriendship between individuals, like you and Aka is impossible, much less to achieve it on a tribal or global scale.¡»
Before I said something like, ¡®If my father can¡¯t do it, then I will...¡¯ Tre¡¯ainar denied it.
¡ºIn the first ce, you and other humans fight against each other over differences of countries, races, cultures and even historical perceptions. Then, what of a difference of species? How can you strive in a world full of differences? Because it could not be done, war broke out.¡»
¡°That¡¯s...¡±
¡ºAnd most difficult... tis impossible to draw the line on which race to make friendships with.¡»
Draw a line. Tre¡¯ainar tells me with a somewhatplicated expression.
¡ºFor instance, you eat meat, do you not? One can survive even if they do not eat it. But you would still eat, would you not? So, are animals exempt from your friendship?¡»
¡°...... That¡¯s...¡±
¡ºWhat you ate the other day...... the animal meat... where did the foode from? An animal? A beast? So, where are the demons from?¡»
Where to draw the line... I hadn¡¯t really thought about it.
Usually, the rough case being...
¡°With humans... we can have a conversation....¡±
¡ºHowever, beastmen and the like, myself included, can converse with animals and beasts. Some of them are connected by bonds like a partner, a friend, or a family. What would you tell them? Because humans cannot talk to animals and monsters, so they are allowed to eat and hunt them.¡»
¡°Saying something like that... I...¡±
¡ºTis so. You cannot understand. People have differentmon sense, culture, and ways of thinking depending on the environment in which they live. Tis impossible to reconcile demons and humans. Supposing you try to force them together, a break will always ur somewhere. Such is life.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar talks, as if he had the materials and knowledge to refute all of my words and thoughts, and ruin my shallow and naive ideas.
¡ºTherefore, child. Can you easily say something frivolous like ¡®aim for a world where the demons and humans coexist¡¯?¡»
It¡¯s not that it¡¯s difficult.
It¡¯s impossible.
That¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s conclusion, and I couldn¡¯t overturn it.
¡°I¡¯m... a weak, small, ignorant kid.... that¡¯s why you¡¯re saying I can¡¯t change the world either....¡±
I was so miserable that Iy on my back.
But that¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar says to me.
¡ºTis so. That is why whatever you do... you must be strong, grandiose, and grow to abundant knowledge as a virtuous man. To never let anything about Aka go to waste.¡»
That¡¯s why I should grow more...
¡ºChild. Be stronger. And cross the world, with him in mind. Do not simply travel around the world, be aware of what you feel and what you want to do there. Maybe there... maybe there is some hint.¡»
¡°Hint?¡±
¡ºWhat you say now may be frivolous, however...... if you are strong, grandiose, and grow to abundant knowledge as a virtuous man, yet still say the same thing... then those words carry zeal and will undoubtedly lead to ¡®something¡¯.¡»
¡°Something...What is it?¡±
¡º¡¯Something¡¯ neither Hiro nor I could reach in the end.¡»
No matter what I say now, it¡¯s just groundless words.
But if I grow and still say the same thing, it might lead to something.
It¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s vague words, and the future is uncertain, and there are no clear answers or goals.
But I still know...
¡°I¡¯m... even if I y with Aka in a dignified manner, even if we travel, to not let the people around me say anything. It might be ridiculous, but...... that¡¯s my feeling right now.¡±
¡ºIs that so...¡»
That¡¯s definitely how I feel right now, and how do I manage that....
¡°I¡¯m going to get stronger, look around the world and see a lot of things.¡±
¡ºAh, right.¡»
It¡¯s up to me in the future, and I¡¯ll have to move forward anyway.
¡°I will~~~~ already. Eat! Let¡¯s eat!¡±
¡ºAh.¡»
Having made up my mind, I emptied the pot of breakfast that Mr. Aka left.
There was well-boiled soup in it, and when I ate it and I became a little big, I decided to eat it all vigorously.
For a moment, salty juice wasing out of my eyes, but I decided to eat everything and move forward.
END OF PART 2
Author¡¯s Note
As always I am indebted to you.
For now, I¡¯m going to end the second part here.
To date, there have been 70,000 drills with aprehensive evaluation, 2,000 impressions and various responses, including the pros and cons. I am very happy. And 930,000 drills! I¡¯m getting closer little by little w
I look forward to working with you.
From here on, I¡¯d like to continue the story of ¡®those guys around that time¡¯ with a little bit of punchline, and trying to practice again.
In addition, I was doing updates every day or at seven o¡¯clock in the morning, but from tomorrow on-wards private life or travels ... it¡¯s busy, so the updates may be dyed, but please forgive me. I¡¯m naked now.
Naked Author aside (what a freak), it¡¯s the end of the second arc y¡¯all. And it ended with plenty of feels. Keep in mind, you¡¯re never too manly to cry, infact true men shed tried tears proudly. I¡¯m in no way saying this just to keep my man status intact. No sir...
Though it¡¯s the end of part 2, it¡¯s only half way through the second volume of the Light Novel. So look forward to the continuation of our duo¡¯s world tour. I¡¯m tempted to go on a break but nah, I¡¯m gonna power on through part 3. Besides, the next chapter is one everyone should really be looking forward to, wink ?? ??
I¡¯m also considering going back to my earliest chapters and doing some re-edits. Kinda feel I should since back then I wasn¡¯t using the tools I have at my disposal now and some thing might have been done better. Also to make sure I¡¯m consistent. Let me know if there is anything that caught your attention.
Special thanks to all my Patrons for supporting me and my endeavors. Extra chapters should be up on the page, so check em out. And if you haven¡¯t do consider checking it out, as well as my [YouTube channel] for my Anime Reactions. About to round up [Tower of God] and [BNA]. Also really looking forward to Season 2 of Re:Zero. See y¡¯all soon for the next entry.

Chapter 64 ¨C Intermission (Father)
Tranted by: Sads07
¨D¨D If I knew it would be this hard... I would not want to be born as a hero¡¯s child...
Even the worst of parents, who have cornered their real son to the point he would say such a thing, would still give chase.
It¡¯s true. It¡¯s not a lie. I love you more than anyone else in the world
¨D¨D Sorry...... I couldn¡¯t be the son of a perfect ideal hero...
...... am I qualified to tell him that I love him the most in the world?
What have I seen of him until today?
I don¡¯t even get how he could use the ¡¾Great Demon Spiral¡¿.
Speaking of, even though I heard from his teacher that he had mentioned the ¡®Six-Gate Eye¡¯ in ss, I forgot to ask him about it.
Why was that...
¡°Lord Hiro. About the hole in the ground your son dug through, the path is blocked from the middle, and we don¡¯t know whether or not it branched off somewhere...¡±
¡°Ah. But, with his magical power, he shouldn¡¯t have gone too far. Then, instead of his path underground, let¡¯s search for where he¡¯ll emerge from above the ground.¡±
I¡¯ve heard about his magic health checkups. I forgot the exact numbers, but it was less than Fu or the princess.
If so, I don¡¯t think he¡¯s going that far.... so, is that right?
In the first ce, it was awful, but I never expected him to be stronger than Rebal.
It¡¯s not just the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿.
His agility, the power of his fist, and his footwork, all left me amazed.
Not with a magic sword, he came to use a fighting style that I didn¡¯t even know, my expectations were...
¡°I¡¯m really pathetic. You¡¯re not too far with your magic? I didn¡¯t even know my son was so strong....
His fist and footwork made sport of Rebal. That, now that I thought about it, was no petty trick.
Beautiful form, well-honed movement, whichever...
¡°What¡¯s not a warrior¡¯s skill... All the power that was wielded up to the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿... it¡¯s power that you got through your own efforts...¡±
Why couldn¡¯t I look more calmly?
Then we could have properly talked.
¡°Lord Hiro... There are various towns and viges in the vicinity of the Imperial City, includingrge and smaller ones.... But, to cover all of them on our own...¡±
Now, I rushed out of the Imperial City on my own, and was pursuing Earth in a hurry, but a few warriors came to help me out for nothing.
However, it is still impossible to search by sorting this number of people.
¡°For now, it is supposed that the liaison team of the Imperial City will immediately contact the surrounding towns and viges, as well as border guards...¡±
¡°Ah! But Earth left with only his clothes.... he doesn¡¯t have much money, either.... Maybe he¡¯s camping out. He might be hungry.¡±
Anyway, I¡¯m thinking about where Earth might be heading.
¡°Show me the map.¡±
¡°Oh, yes...¡±
Where is Earth going after running from home? Expand the map of the Imperial territory.
Where could Earth go without much money?
¡°If he were heading towards the ¡®Great McCuster Forest¡¯ or ¡®Coconeal Mountain¡¯, it¡¯ll be a little difficult to search. It¡¯s vast...... there is a town at the foot of the mountain.¡±
¡°Speaking of which, during this time of year, there are a lot of Go events in this ce, so there will be a lot of peopleing and going, including the people of Japone, the ce will be crowded... so, Honeyborough.¡±
First of all, it¡¯s an area with thergest mountain and a vast forest. But I felt he wouldn¡¯t be there.
¡°He¡¯s a clever guy, unlike me. It¡¯ll surely be troublesome and even life threatening, so I don¡¯t think he¡¯d go to a ce like this. And he shouldn¡¯t have any survival experience. I doubt he¡¯d risk going to Honeyborough or even toward that direction. He¡¯s a weak Go yer so he probably won¡¯t want to go there.¡±
That¡¯s right. So think about it. About my son.
In this situation, where would he go next?
¡°Hey... located in the other direction from Honeyborough.... Inai City...... it¡¯s definitely that time of year....¡±
¡°Ah... that¡¯s right, there¡¯s that fighting tournament where those who take pride in their strength will gather.... the prize money for the tournament is decent.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it. I¡¯m sure he¡¯s headed there! There¡¯s no reason to go through forests and mountains for Honeyborough, so here it is! I¡¯m heading there!¡±
Earth is definitely headed here.
The moment I thought so, I was rushing out, trying to get there as soon as possible.
¡°Lord Hiro, wait!¡±
¡°Oh,e on. For now, let¡¯s report to the liaison team. Lord Hiro¡¯s son may be heading to Inai city.¡±
Earth. When I find him, catch him, then what can I say to him?
How much should I apologize for being a hopeless father?
I can¡¯t be a proper parent, but what can I tell him?
No, I still have to go¨C
¡°Lord Hiro...... It is a magic crystalmunication! From the Army Commander!¡±
¡°Eh, ah... at a time like this...... I don¡¯t care if they sh my sry, so let¡¯s do thatter...¡±
¡°He wants to inform you of an urgent matter.¡±
¡°Ur... urgent.¡±
Shit, right when I¡¯m in a hurry!
¡¸Hiro! You...... doing as you please...¡¹
¡°...What is it!? I¡¯m in a rush!¡±
¡¸Hey, Hiro. When there are others around you, watch how you speak...... is what I¡¯d like to say... Well, that¡¯s fine. That¡¯s forter. There¡¯s a bad matter and a worse one.¡¹
How urgent is it that the Army Commander himself is calling?
And both matters he¡¯s bringing up are bad?
¡¸First of all, is the bad, but... it seems the princess, Rebal and the others fled the Imperial City leaving only written notes.¡¹
¡°...... What?¡±
¡¸In all probability, their purpose is to search for your son.¡¹
¡°No way, hold up, huh? Right now, the Imperial City is on high alert and a strict blockade...¡±
What a hell. Why, Phianse... I mean, princess.... you¡¯re acting too hasty.
I¡¯m d you¡¯re thinking about Earth that much, but I¡¯m in a better position to... I¡¯m not qualified to say that.
¡¸Princess, Rebal, Fu... furthermore, the young daughter of ¡®the Fuefky family¡¯ seems to be missing as well. They must have used her skills to get past security.¡¹
¡°Fuefky family... Piper... ah~, that girl...¡±
¡¸We can¡¯t allow the princess to roam without warrior escorts. So I asked Mamu to track down and protect the princess. I didn¡¯t think she would be ready mentally, but she eagerly volunteered herself.¡¹
¡°...... What? Mamu?¡±
¡¸Ah! Honestly, she has a lot of other work to do, but it was an emergency, so I gave her priority. Your house maid is with her as a support.¡¹
¡°Just Sadiz!?¡±
¡¸I just thought I¡¯d share this information. To be honest, you also have a lot of work to do.... Right now, I¡¯ll prioritize your son. Therefore, if you find the princess, have her under your protection as soon as possible.¡¹
Mamu? Sadiz, too?
I told you to wait at home... did you take it upon yourself to search for the princess, not Earth.
What¡¯s the meaning of this?
But, this allows Mamu to drop a ton of work and leave the Imperial City.
Huh? Huh? No way... did Mamu and the princess...
¡¸Well, next is a worse matter.¡¹
¡°Oh, huh.¡±
While I was suspecting Mamu¡¯s ¡®scheme¡¯, the Army Commander¡¯s tone got heavier when it came to the main subject.
¡¸It¡¯s about the match... It seems that the demons were also monitoring. Well, we held such festivities, so we didn¡¯t force much regtion, but...... Immediately, I received an inquiry from the Demon Realm, from that ¡®Supreme Ruler La¡¯iphant¡¯.¡¹ [1]
¡°From Lye?¡±
¡¸The technique your son used... Not only the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, but also the magic control technique used just before that...... It seems to be a technique called ¡¾Breakthrough¡¿, a technique developed by Demon King Tre¡¯ainar.¡¹
¡°Huh!!??¡±
¡¸I¡¯ve been asked what it means for the son of the hero, Hiro, to use that technique.¡¹
What a hell. Not only the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, but also that green glowing magical power, was developed by Tre¡¯ainar?
¡°That¡¯s right... I thought it was simr, but Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s was a red light. So it was the same technique after all.¡±
Can¡¯t be a coincidence.
Earth has gained power rted to Tre¡¯ainar. But how?
No, did someone teach Earth?
But then, who?
¡°Even though we¡¯ve fought... I never even knew the name of that technique, but...... how many of them can use the Breakthrough?¡±
¡¸It seems that even demons do not know much about it. It appears to have been a technique unique to The Great Demon King, and it was never passed down to anyone.¡¹
¡°Such nonsense...¡±
¡¸It¡¯s just... ording to La¡¯iphant, if there was anyone that could use that technique... then there is only one possibility...¡¹
Then, the Army Commander¡¯s tone dropped even lower.
I had a bad feeling about it.
And the name the Army Commander gave was......
¡¸One of the ¡®Former Six Supremacy and Great Demon General¡¯ who has been missing for the past ten years, and a follower of the Great Demon King...¡¯The Dark Valkyrie Jamdi¡¯el¡¯¡¹ [2]
¡°...... No~. Oh~, Oh~. Of all people...¡±
¡¸Oh, yes. Along with the strongest of the Six Supremacy ¡®White Fiendish Emperor Hakuki¡¯, one of the most dangerous figures among the Demon Army Remnants.¡¹
My head suddenly started to hurt.
¡°No way... that she was in contact with Earth.... that¡¯s not possible....¡±
¡¸However, La¡¯iphant doubts it. We concur, there is no reason or meaning in Jamdi¡¯el doing such a thing... But he¡¯s really concerned about it.¡¹
Jamdi¡¯el. One of the former Great Generals of the Demon Army, and a mighty enemy of mankind.
Her devotion to the Great Demon King went beyond loyalty, she practically worshiped the guy. [3]
That¡¯s also why she was against the peace agreement after the death of the Great Demon King and disappeared.
She had been missing for so long... could it be...?
¡¸Anyway, these matters aren¡¯t only about your family. Keep that in mind, Hiro.¡¹
¡°...... I know that.¡±
¡¸The Former Six Supremacy, Beast King La¡¯iphant, is now in control of the Demon Realm, but if the other surviving Six Supremacy start to move with a purpose, they will be difficult to suppress, even for La¡¯iphant.¡¹
Yes, the problem may not be just about our family.
I can¡¯t wipe the premonition that something was about to start.
Earth, what the hell happened to you?
But no matter what, I¡¯ll catch up with you.
And, at that time, anything is fine. Talk to me.
Give me another chance to be your parent.
[S1] The name here, ¥é¥¤¥Õ¥¡¥ó¥È, is phically ¡®Raifanto¡¯ so might be written as ¡®Lyphant¡¯. I went with La¡¯iphant because I want to make Demons¡¯ names more exotic when possible. Like I did with Tre¡¯ainar.
[S2] The name here, ¥ä¥ß¥Ç¥£¥ì , is phically ¡®Yamidire¡¯. Also I may need some input on her moniker. °µü\‘éÒÒÅ® trantes as ¡®Dark War Maiden¡¯ but Mamu is already called the ¡®War Maiden¡¯. War¡¯s Dark Damsel is what I came up with but I¡¯m considering changing Mamu¡¯s moniker to ¡®Battle Priestess¡¯ since she was called ¡®The Priestess Mamu¡¯ in the manga. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Edit: Thanks to Ark¡¯s input, I¡¯ll be using ¡°The Dark Valkyrie¡± as Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s Moniker.
[S3] I¡¯m imagining [Albedo] levels of devotion here.... Watch out Earth!!!

¨D¨D Well, if I win the tournament... Let me feel your boobs!
At that time, I never imagined things would end up this way.
¨D¨D I see. Alright. If You Can Win Little man, then! Then let¡¯s y with the puppies all day!
Request from Little man for the tournament.
As an older sister, I agreed to a little obscene reward with a smile, if that would motivate Little man.
But when I returned to my room, I...
¨D¨D Pyaaaaaaaah, t-this is so not good! What did I agree to!? B-Breasts and Little man. Th-This will earn me a fiery scolding from the Master and Madam!?
I was writhing with my face buried in a pillow, after diving into the bed, my feet were fluttering.
¨D¨D Then, but no way, Lil¡¯ Earth made such a request...... but, if it were to happen... I won¡¯t be able to maintain my reason...... what shall we do? Somehow, I might push him down and go beyond that.... No no no, that kind of education should wait at least until Little man graduates from the Academy.... But I... [1]
I panicked because I agreed.
However, as I continued to agonize myself, I suddenly saw Little man working hard in the garden outside the window.
¨D¨D Aaaah, HopScotch! HopScotch!! Hop, HopScotch!!
Little man was doing unusual training usingdders.
At first nce, it seemed like he was ying, but the amount of sweat and his facial expressions conveyed determination.
Perhaps, I found a Little man who was trying to break his shell in an attempt to change something.
After seeing that, I was in agony but gradually regained myposure...
¨D¨D Huh... Let¡¯s buy a new bra, something risqu¨¦.... [2]
No way, I couldn¡¯t tell anyone about what had happened.
So, I couldn¡¯t imagine it at the time.
¨D¨D Don¡¯t! Father! Mother! Demon King killed, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, everyone! Killed by the Great Demon King!!
I still can¡¯t stand it.
I¡¯ve said that to Little man.
I ruined all of Little man¡¯s efforts.
Aiming for the match, Little man figured out various training regimen and persisted to face the big stage.
My words ruined everything.
No, it¡¯s not ruined.
I snatched them away.
All of Little man¡¯s days and his ce in the world up to today.
By what means, I don¡¯t know how Little Man used that technique.
But, I shouldn¡¯t have gotten so distraught... the more I think back on it, the more I can¡¯t forgive myself.
Lord Hiro and Lady Mamu are the benefactors of my life. Little man is their treasure, and more important to me than my life.... than my life? Trivial. How trivial I am.
Their son is more important than my life, which mouth can possibly say such a thing?
It is a sin that makes me want to carve this body, such as losing myself to my trauma rather than my feelings for Little man.
Actually, I want to be beheaded right now.
But, not yet.
Even if Little man doesn¡¯t want to, until I see him again...
¡°It¡¯s been a long time since Ist prepared for a journey, not just a trip...¡±
To do what I have to do.
Stuff everything into a huge backpack. Clothes, daily necessities, cookware, food, medical equipment sets, and weapons.
My room, which was always in order, is now a mess, but there is no time to clean up.
I¡¯ll leave the room as it is to chase after Little man.
¡°...... ah....¡±
As I was packing what I needed in my backpack, I saw a box I was keeping in the cupboard.
It¡¯s my treasure chest.
But now, the mere sight of the treasure-chest is enough to kill me.
¡°Sadiz! Are you ready?¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°Excuse me, what...huh? That¡¯s...¡±
At that time, Madam, who had only made simple preparations, came to the room, looked at my hand and tilted her head.
My treasure, which was kept secret from Madam.
I opened the lid of the treasure chest, with much sorrow.
There were many small items, toy rings and other essories stored within.
¡°These... were gifts that Lil¡¯ Earth gave me for my birthday and the Academy¡¯s entrance celebration, and so on....¡±
¡°Yes...¡±
When he was much younger than he is now, he was a little shy as he handed me a present.
Each time, I was desperately holding back the urge to hug and kiss Little man.
¡°That boy, when it came to you... he was seriously in love.¡±
How Little man thinks of me. I deflected that thought because I¡¯m alwayspletely charmed without meaning to.
¡°But even so, neither I nor Hiro have even considered those feelings, and believed that he and the princess should be tied together... such a heartless story, isn¡¯t it....¡±
Yes. So did I.
I thought it would be fine if I could be by his side as a maid.
Rather, it is true that the marriage of the Princess with Little man would satisfy many people.
So, even when I entered adolescence, instead of responding to Little man I was leading him on in an insinuating manner.
¡°Hey, Sadiz... obligation to the surroundings aside...... actually, if it was to be you and Earth... what would you do?¡±
¡°I might have run away with him.¡±
¡°Ah... re-really.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have the qualifications anymore.¡±
When I answered that, Madam also held her head down with aplicated smile.
¡°...... Really...... what was I doing, I..... I didn¡¯t see anything. Nothing about my own child...... Nothing...¡±
I¡¯m not conceited, but I should be Little man¡¯s first love.
If Little man was having such thoughts about me even when he was ¡®at that age¡¯, I might have abandoned all reason and my self-control I had so far.
There are certain books with processed binding on the bookshelf. [The 100 Ways to Lead the Younger Man], [The Maiden¡¯s Preparations for the First Experience without Inconvenience], really, those are mine... also.... on the shelf below it...... Little man¡¯s collection...... [3]
¨D¨D Little man... under the bed. The double bottom of the desk drawer, in the ceiling, and the Master¡¯s study as he cannote hometely.... Hmm, did you think you could hide it? Little man. How naive!
¨D¨D Gah.... How did you find out...
¨D¨DLil¡¯ Earth. I always have tools to see traces of someone breaking into a room, including anti-robbery measures, so, I can instantly see if anything in the room has been moved, even slightly,pared to the previous day... Even, a mountain of buried treasure such as these. What are you using your pocket money for? I mean, at Little man¡¯s age, it¡¯s not legal~.
¨D¨D you¡¯re wrong, no, this is... er......
¨D¨D Making out with older busty maids that appear in these books...... Turn a sadistic woman into a sow...... Do you want to do this, Little man? I fear the future, Yoyoyo. [4]
¨D¨DTh-That¡¯s, d-different, fantasies that only exit in books.
¨D¨DOh, is that so? That¡¯s too bad. I¡¯m getting more and more interested in this, and if Little man wishes...
¨D¨DEh!? Really!? Oh, really?
¨D¨D Dream~ on ?
¨D¨DEh...... eh?
¨D¨DHuh~...... all the same, Little man is in need of a little scolding ~
A variety of ero-books that Little man, after hitting puberty, tried to possess at every opportunity without giving up.
Some were about seniors, some maids, other rted to sadistic women, and all suggestive of lewdness. [5]
I persistently lectured Little man, as he kneeled on his soles bearing a blushed face, and I burned all the books.... well pretended to. I kept them so that when the Little man clears the ¡®age¡¯, they would be returned to him.
And then, for the harmless, inoffensive titles, the princess... [6]
¡°I... only did things that made Little man detest me...¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
Yes, it has always been so.
I y around, tease, mislead, and today...... I did that.
¡°I¡¯m really no good... I¡¯m...¡±
¡°Yes, we are...¡±
With a bitter smile at each other, I carry my backpack.
¡°But... that routine was my happiness too...... Making fun of Little man...... so cute... But for Little man, I might simply be an annoyance.... Even if Little man didn¡¯t want it anymore...... at least...... once again, just to meet and talk... say farewell in this way...... That¡¯s it!¡±
Yes, now it¡¯s more about action than depression.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Mamu.¡±
¡°Yes. The princess will be waiting.... Even if it is...... I didn¡¯t think the princess coulde up with such a bold strategy....
Yes, it was all the princess¡¯s n.
An idea from the princess who rushed into this mansion in search of Little man who had disappeared.
[S1] Okaaayyy! So that was on the table this whole time.....
[S2] I demand Fan Art!! Rule 34 this right now!!!!
[S3] Aaaannnd she was doing research! Hold up! For all her teasing him about being a virgin, doesn¡¯t this mean she¡¯s still one too?
[S4] Considering who that ¡®future¡¯ would have involved....
[S5] Hey, the guy has a type!!
[S6] And she still had the gall to call him out on it. Pretty sure the princess has amassed a collection as well.
Wanna give a quick shout-out to all my Patrons for the overwhelming support. It really does mean the world to me.

Chapter 66 ¨C At the End of the Descent
Tranted by: Sads07
The injuries suffered in the fight with Aka were healed faster than I expected, Shinobu¡¯s treatment was excellent.
No, on the contrary, even a light shadow spar was pretty sharp, and I was able to move quite well when I spar with Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°...... Somehow... It hasn¡¯t been that long since the Commemorative Match.... yet I feel stronger than before?¡±
My wounds healed, had some light training sessions as we descended Coconeal Mountain, and I muttered involuntarily.
Before the match, I trained hard for two months and was able to feel my growth, but within a few days after that, I felt stronger.
¡ºI suppose, the experience of an actual battle might havee to light.¡»
Trina nodded to me as if to say, ¡®Of course¡¯.
¡ºYou battled Aka, who could be considered among the strongest in the world, wearing away your life without hesitation. There may be no change in muscle strength or motor nerves, but your intuition may have been peeled off by a skin or two it seems.¡»
¡°Intuition...¡±
¡ºAnd the other is confidence. By leaping forward without fear of death against such a powerful opponent, not only the senses but also mental fortitude should have been strengthened. Moreover, the fight with the Shinobi woman would have been a good experience.¡»
I¡¯m honestly not sure myself, but it might be the case.
Against the caliber of strength like Mr. Aka¡¯s, I nted my feet and we exchanged blows.
I kept receiving that powerful fist with my forehead without blinking.
And, incidentally, Shinobu.
I didn¡¯t know that the improvement of my senses and spirit could make such a difference.
¡°Somehow...... I now feel like I can endure any kind of training and be stronger.¡±
¡ºTis a good trend. Even if youck a clear goal as in the previous match, tis something you ¡®want to do¡¯ yourself.¡»
Yes, I¡¯m now thinking, ¡®I want to be strong for now¡¯, and I don¡¯t have a clear and familiar goal.
But even so, I¡¯m happy to see myself getting stronger and I¡¯vee to want to train myself.
¡ºEven if youck a familiar goal... there is no loss in obtaining them, such as ¡®strength¡¯, ¡®unrivaled special skills¡¯, and ¡®money¡¯. Even if there is no need right now, they never hurts to possess.¡»
¡°Oh yeah.... Money. Well, certainly I was anxious when I didn¡¯t have any.¡±
Even if it is not necessary, there is no loss. That¡¯s true.
And now what I want the most ¡®strength¡¯, and I¡¯m getting better.
I want to get a lot while I can get it.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. It¡¯ll be troublesome, but can¡¯t we have some more training in the mountains? Here, I can do intensive training for Parkour, and speaking of training, it¡¯ll be like mountain seclusion.¡±
Unlike before, breasts aren¡¯t being dangled like carrots in front of me, I myself havee to change something.
Meeting Mr. Aka, fighting, making up and parting ways. Maybe that has changed me a little bit.
And, incidentally, Shinobu.
However, when I got so motivated, Tre¡¯ainar......
¡ºNo, once you are feeling well enough, we shall first descend the mountain. Training is done on level ground.¡»
¡°Ah, what? Why not? We¡¯re in the mountains, right? You know, the mountain air is thin, so if I train here and fight in the lower world, it¡¯s like I¡¯ll get even stronger, right?¡±
He just threw a wet nket at my motivation, or rather, if it was the previous Tre¡¯ainar, he would have had me train even during sleep, so why?
But......
¡ºTis the contrary. Because the air is thin, we cannot perform the same, much less, better high-quality training you had so far. Should that happen, it will inevitably be necessary to lower the training load. High-altitude training can certainly enhance your cardiopulmonary function, but you still need quality training on level ground.¡»
¡°I-Is that how it is?¡±
¡ºUh huh. Ideally, the body would adapt by sleeping in areas with thinner atmosphere, and then training is performed on a in field. Tis called ¡®Magical Living High Training Row¡¯, but it still requires more than a few weeks for the body to adapt.¡»
It appeared again, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s theory.
¡ºIf you have already acquired technique and power, and are aiming for a higher level, that training is effective, but you can still grow as much as you want with but a single skill and knowledge. As such, training on level ground, and increasing knowledge while crossing the world on level ground... that should suffice for now.¡»
As expected, it is Tre¡¯ainar. It¡¯s not that he has be kind, but because he had a proper reason for his judgment.
¡°Well, then... as it is, we¡¯ll descend the mountain.¡±
¡ºTis so.¡»
I wandered into the forest from Imperial City, met Mr. Aka, reached the town of Honeyborough, and returned to Aka¡¯s house to fight. Also, I fought with Shinobu.
I took a few days¡¯ rest, and am now climbing the mountain and descending to the other side.
Even without a clear goal, my steps were light.
¡ºNow...... as it concerns, the destination after descending the mountain...... where shall we go?¡»
¡°Ah. If I¡¯m just moving over Coconeal Mountain, starting from Honeyborough, if my memory is correct... the town where merchants gather......¡¯Cantidan¡¯...... that¡¯s where.¡±
I don¡¯tpletely remember the geography outside of the Imperial City, so it¡¯s vague.
¡ºAh, if that is so, I have heard of it. There is a famous market street with hundreds of thousands of merchants opening street stalls. While there were fraudulent crimes of selling counterfeit goods under the guise of legendary treasure, tis a town that could not be crushed due to its economic efficacy.¡»
¡°Oh, you knew that, too.¡±
¡ºWell, one way or another, that town has a fascinating history. I havee to hear of it by chance in rumors.¡»
Fascinating history? What? Is that right? Why have I never heard of that?
I¡¯ve only heard rumors about a town where you can get your hands on many cheap and affordable items.
¡ºIs it not just right? Also, you are unable to be a hunter. Recently we acquired funds by ying a game of Go, let us search for a bargain in the town.¡»
¡°No, no, bargains... I don¡¯t have the eye for such judgment....¡±
Is discovering such bargains so easy?
In front of me as I thought so, Tre¡¯ainar gave off an awe-inspiring aura, as he seemed to want to throw a retort.
¡°Ah~, Tre¡¯ainar... incidentally, you...... that sort of ....¡±
¡ºThe eyes of this Great Demon King shall determine all authenticity.¡»
Ah~, yeah, yeah, amazing, amazing. Somehow, no matter how great this guy gradually gets, I¡¯m no longer surprised.
¡ºWell, tis not that we such dedicated magic is non-existent, but tis also a good experience to cultivate the ability to distinguish authenticity. If all goes well, you will gain a fortune, will you not?¡»
¡°No, uh... for the time being, I just want to get stronger, so I¡¯m not particrly looking to be an appraiser....¡±
However, as there is no way I can continue my journey without going through the town, I end up stopping by after all.
Hey Everyone! Really hyped and wary for the second season of Re:Zero. You just know Subaru is gonna be put through the grinder. Recently re-uploaded my reactions for the first season onto mu YouTube Channel. Check it out if you¡¯re interested, and I¡¯ll be reacting to all the episodes of season 2 as well.

Tranted by: Sads07
I¡¯m going over the mountain after Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion that secluded mountain training isn¡¯t so effective for me right now.
However, it does not mean that we will reach the base immediately, so it will take some time.
Therefore, it was quite difficult for me to cross the mountain, because, in the first ce, I hadn¡¯t prepared for a trip at all in the town of Honeyborough.
I didn¡¯t have any water or food prepared.
¡°I¡¯m getting a little hungry... I wish I had returned to town once from Mr. Aka¡¯s house.¡±
¡ºGood Grief. Have you forgotten the first night? At such times, one should benefit from the bountiful natural blessings of mountains.¡»
¡°Oh, this red fruit... it looks kind of sweet...... can I eat it?¡±
¡ºCease. Tis poisonous. A staple among mountain fruits that should not be consumed.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar sighs at my remark as I sat down to take a breather on the way down the mountain.
Yes, what would have happened if I hadn¡¯t met Mr. Aka on the first night?
I didn¡¯t like the idea of catching and eating snakes and frogs. The rabbit I caught also escaped.
I didn¡¯t eat mushrooms after all, so I haven¡¯t had any survival experience yet.
¡ºWell, tis only when you experience such poisons that you acquire resistance, but I will not ask that of you right now. Now, tis important to eat and grow with a nutritional and bnced diet. If you are to consider your diet during the growth period, tis best to reside on level ground.¡»
Diet. The first thing that came to mind when he said that is the meals I¡¯ve been eating since I was a kid.
Most of them were made by the same person.
¡°Diet... It¡¯s only been a few days... but not eating Sadiz¡¯s meal...¡±
Even so, I felt like I hadn¡¯t eaten it much.
I ate it as a matter of course every day.
Even Tre¡¯ainar was so impressed after seeing Sadiz¡¯s menu that had me in mind and was made just for me.
She was always by my side and took good care of me.
That¡¯s why I wanted to repay Sadiz.
I wanted to show Sadiz something cool.
I was always an employer or a young master, I wanted her to see me as a man.
But, it was no good.
On the contrary, it hurt Sadiz.
When I thought back on it, I felt helpless again.
¡º...... uhn?¡»
At that time, while I was thinking of Sadiz and pensive, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to have noticed something.
¡ºOi, child. A little further from here...... along the path...... is there something?¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
Something? What something? Snake? Frog? Rabbit? No way, it can¡¯t be an Ogre, right?
¡°...... Is it a beast?¡±
¡ºNo, nothing like that, and there is no danger, but... that is...... uhn? Uhn~...... what could it be? ¡®that fellow¡¯......¡»
I¡¯m not sure what he¡¯s talking about.
But Tre¡¯ainar noticed something, and his face gradually became shocked.
Moreover, he was holding his head.
¡°...What, what is it? The heck......¡±
I anxiously stood up and made my way as it was, to see if there was no danger.
Then, the trees came out in a slightly open area, and something was dropped there.
¡°...... What the hell is that?¡±
It was something wrapped in a bag.
Furthermore, beside it is a cylindrical object.
And besides that......
¡°Writing utensils?¡±
Even writing instruments were dropped...... No, was it?
What¡¯s more, there¡¯s a piece of paper attached to it...
¡°A note? ...¡¯Please feel free to eat¡¯ ...what?¡±
It¡¯s not that it was dropped. Please eat? Hey, you¡¯ve suddenly be suspicious, right?
Some kind of trap? But for now, let¡¯s see what¡¯s inside......
¡°Wh-what the hell is that?¡±
When I opened the bag, there were about three objects made of rolled up, hardened white rice about the size of a fist.
In addition, what seemed to be yellow and square food cut into bite-sized portions together with the rice.
¡ºTis... rice balls and fried egg.¡»
¡°Raisubou? Fried egg?¡±
¡ºUh huh...... as a portable meal or bento, tis a staple dish in Japone.¡»
Japone¡¯s cooking? Why was it dropped in a ce like this, and besides, ¡®feel free to eat¡¯? So, does that mean I can eat this?
¡ºIt does not seem to contain any poison... eating would be no problem, would it not?¡»
¡°Oh, no, but...a-are you sure?¡±
To be honest, I don¡¯t know why this was dropped, and it¡¯s too suspicious.
However, from the moment I saw this rice ball or whatever, I was so tempted to eat it I couldn¡¯t help drooling.
¡°Huh? But what about forks and knives? No way, with bare hands?¡±
¡ºIn Japone, rice balls are eaten with bare hands.¡»
¡°Hey, don¡¯t you get angry because eating with your bare hands is bad manners?¡±
¡º...... such a spoiled twit.¡»
Is eating something with your bare hands allowed?
Even though Sadiz gets very angry about how I use a fork and knife, with your bare hands?
What? Is Japone like a primitive or undeveloped nation?
But there¡¯s nothing to poke at it with... so that¡¯s how, I took a hearty bite on this rice ball.
¡°!!??¡±
I bit on it...... and I..... I wonder what...... it seeped throughout my body.... the taste of each grain of rice is awesome!
What¡¯s more, is there something in the rice ball?
In the white rice, there¡¯s something white....
¡ºHoh~...... seafood, seasoned with a certain sauce... I see...... Tuna mayo...... tis what you mean, is it not?¡»
¡°De, delicious...... so good, what is this?¡±
¡ºPerhaps. By my knowledge while I was alive, tis not a leap for this to win first ce in the Japone Rice Ball Rankings.¡»
¡°Seriously! Tuna mayo is the best!¡±
I wonder what. It felt like my tired body was reviving.
¡°I can¡¯t believe you can eat rice like this... This egg...... What?! It¡¯s sweet! But it¡¯s great!¡±
¡ºIt must contain sugar. Japone¡¯s fried egg is different as the eastern culture uses sugar whereas the western culture uses a little salty with soup stock.¡»
¡°Oh, somehow, I feel calm after eating this gutsy white rice, I quite like it!¡±
¡ºIs that so? As for me, I do not care for sweet fried egg as a meal.¡»
It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve eaten it. It was a dish that I had never eaten before, even though it was an ingredient I could get in the Imperial City.
It¡¯s simple, yet I¡¯vee to think it¡¯s great.
Tuna mayo rice balls and sweet fried egg.
¡°Ah~, water too! The water is moderately chilled and seeps through my worn-out body! It¡¯s so good!¡±
At first I was suspicious, but before I realized it, I had eaten three rice balls and an egg dish in a few seconds.
I wasn¡¯t full, but it was more than enough to energize the body.
It was a recovery that I didn¡¯t expect to achieve today.
¡°Surely... this.... from Japone.¡±
And, although I was satisfied, I calmed down a bit, looked at the empty package and suddenly thought.
¡°...... as expected, was it her?¡±
¡ºAll of a sudden, appeared then absconded, left that in ce and disappeared.¡»
Apparently, there¡¯s something up with that girl.
¡°...... Why? Didn¡¯t she go home with her brothers?¡±
¡ºWho knows. At least there are no other ninjas around....¡»
So she¡¯s on her own? What is your intention? For me? Simple good intentions?
¡ºHmm? Oi, child. The note she left earlier...... there is still something written on the back, is there not?¡»
¡°Eh? On the back?¡±
Do not hesitate to eat, is there something written on the back?
When I was told, I turned the paper over...
¨D¨D have you replied in the exchange diary yet, I wonder? But I know. I¡¯m sure you couldn¡¯t because you didn¡¯t have any writing tools, right? So, I¡¯ll leave this for you, so use it. I¡¯ll be waiting in anticipation for your reply for as long as it¡¯ll take for me to receive it. I¡¯ll keep on, waiting. On and on, waiting for you ?
And, somehow the ambience of the writing felt a little sloppy.
As I felt a tremendous chill for a moment, I realized that I hadpletely forgotten about it.
¡°Huh, and..... either way, this...... writing? Ah, that¡¯s what the writing instrument is for...¡±
I could have thrown it away in front of Mr. Aka¡¯s house, but after all, it was an exchange diary that I held on to somehow.
¡ºHuh...... While estranged from your real life, it seems you are being cornered by a troublesome woman, child.¡»
¡°Ugh...... e-even if you say that...¡±
Tre¡¯ainar with a somewhat chilly smile.
To be honest, I¡¯ve never been able to direct my thoughts like this before, and while I don¡¯t feel bad about it, I am a little scared.
And most of all, I don¡¯t know how to deal with this.
¡ºChild. For those who are straightforward and heavily infatuated, should you take a half-hearted and suggestive attitude...... there is a risk that matters willter be irreparable. No matter what your answer, be sincere.¡»
And finally, my master is in a situation where he even talks about my love affair.
¡ºAnd when you give your answer, be sure to know the person you are talking to. Earlier, the things I mention would not trouble you if you had them.... power, money, and so on, but there was still something crucial to consider. Tis ¡®an eye for people¡¯.¡»
¡°An, eye?¡±
¡ºTis so. No matter who you are, you do not have to be admired from all sides. Even if you do not have a million subordinates, be sure to identify those you can trust from the bottom of your heart, and keep them by your side. Whether a loved one or a peerlessrade... they will be the pir of your life.¡»
Develop the ability to judge people.
¡ºI talked of authenticity a while ago. Tis not only for items. Cultivate an eye for people. In the world, that Ogre...... not all of them are like Aka. A child of your upbringing will easily be deceived, so be careful.¡»
When I think about it, I certainly wanted Sadiz and my parents to recognize me, but I wanted to look back at all the people who saw me.
But Tre¡¯ainar says.
Even if I¡¯m not recognized by a million people, if there is only one person who can be trusted... If I can identify them...... huh.
¡°Hmm....... I trust you deeply... It seems, in that sense, I have you now...¡±
¡ºOh my, so...... tis.... now... huh? ...... fue~.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
Yes, even if you¡¯re the Great Demon King, Tre¡¯ainar now respects, trusts and leads me...huh?
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡º...huh... ah, aaah... t-tis nothing...¡»
Somehow, Tre¡¯ainar is acting a little strange...... that? Unconsciously, what did I just say?
Normally, naturally...... That?
¡°............¡±
¡º...............¡»
Ach, I said something really embarrassing just now, didn¡¯t I!?
A somewhat cringy thing to do, and I spontaneously...
¡°Ah, no, no, no, ah, erm, just now, uh huh, goodness, ahahahahahaha! Let¡¯s see, what was it again?¡±
¡ºEh? Wh-What was it? Right now, were you speaking? Fuhahaha, apologies. Since my passing I asionally get a little hard of hearing.¡»
¡°Oh, yeah! No, I didn¡¯t say anything, so never mind!¡±
¡ºOh, tis so! Well, then this conversation hase to an end! Well, tis a fine day today! On such a day, we should perform some gymnastics under the sky!¡»
It became awkward, and incoherent so we mutually backed away from the subject.
¡º¡±Ahahahahahaha...... ha ha... ¡°¡»
But, yes, I can¡¯t be helped because Tre¡¯ainar was a deaf demon king. Yeah.
Because he says he can¡¯t hear me, so I can¡¯t hear him, yes!
So let¡¯s get back on track.
¡°So, erm, what were you talking about? Oh yes, being heavily infatuated, this and that?¡±
¡ºUm, surely it was!¡»
¡°Ah. But, the way you talked just now, like it¡¯s from an extremely personal experience? By any chance, in the past, were you deeply in lov-¡°
¡ºNow, child! After an intake of carbohydrates, tis better to exercise moderately than to remain idle! So, I shall instruct you on the proper gymnastics!¡»
...... huh? I was only half joking, but Tre¡¯ainar suddenly changed the subject as if he got flustered.
Ah? It might be the first time I¡¯ve seen my master like this, right?
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar...... for certain you...¡±
¡ºGreat Demon Gymnastics No.1! First of all, begin with arge stretching exercise!¡»
Surely... Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s past love? ...... terrific, I wanna hear!
¡ºHoping exercise of both feet! One, two, three, close, open, close, open!¡»
However, to me, frantic deception notwithstanding, while performing strange gymnastics by skillfully leaping and spreading both hands and feet at a rhythm, Tre¡¯ainar burst intoughter, and ultimately the topic came to naught, darn it!
And, well, it¡¯s something he suggested, so I¡¯ll write my reply to the exchange diary... within the range that can be answered......
Author¡¯s Note
Good evening. Because it is hot, I ampletely naked and have no problems.
I¡¯m posting my information on Twitter while I¡¯m traveling, but it¡¯s not interesting, so you don¡¯t have to look at it.
Well, the update was finally interrupted, and there might have been a lot of people who were abandoned, but I still wanted to respond somehow to the person who saw it, and stuck for about two hours in Starbucks. To be honest, the notebook PC I brought takes quite a while to boot up, and I struggled quite a bit because the speed was unusually slow, but I can update with it somehow. I¡¯m still sick every day until I return from my trip, but I¡¯d like to keep updating, so I¡¯m looking forward to working with you, thank you.

You must take responsibility and respond to her questions.
Above all, she gave me alms when I was in a pinch with hunger and thirst.
I didn¡¯t have any grudges against Shinobu, and I didn¡¯t dislike her, so I decided to answer my exchange diary.
- What about your family?
?My father and mother, and a maid who was just like my family
- What is your educational background?
? Imperial Warrior Academy dropout?
- What is your favorite subject?
?I don¡¯t have any favorite subjects, but I don¡¯t have any subjects that I dislike.
- What are your dreams for the future?
? Be a big man
- What is your hobby?
? Recently, Image Training
- What food do you like and dislike?
?My favorite food is Omelet Rice. The food I dislike is green peppers and broli.

?4 years old

? From the 2nd

? Bra and panties. What¡¯s a loincloth?
- How many dates till the kiss?
?3
- Have you ever asked to hold hands or kiss a woman?
? Holding hands is possible. The kiss is-
Then, my hand gradually stopped.
Yes, when I looked at each question, they started out nd but got more and more embarrassing.
¡°This, I guess I can¡¯t just suddenly answer this! Or rather, don¡¯t ask a man his favorite underwear color!¡±
¡º¡¡ noticed it sooner¡¡ also, the loincloth is underwear peculiar to Japone, tis wrapped like a belt around the waist and crotch¡. and, more importantly, you went shopping with a woman in town, did you?¡»
¡°That¡¯s about it! Well, with Sadiz¡¡ I tagged along while shopping for dinner.¡±
¡º¡¡ I wonder if it counts¡¡ Also? Did you not simply do the shopping?¡»
¡°Well, that¡¯s¡ that¡¡ I got candy from a street stall¡¡±
¡ºNo, wait. How old were you at the time?¡»
Somehow, Tre¡¯ainar had a dumbfounded look.
Damn, even I could have gone on at least one date if it was true¡ but since I joined the Academy, Sadiz¡¯s malicious streak increased, and at the Academy, she got in the way¡.
¡ºIncidentally, not just the maid, what about at the Academy?¡»
¡°Due to one thing after another¡ nothing¡.¡±
¡ºIs that so? For example, after lectures¡¡ to walk home from school with a girl.¡»
¡°I didn¡¯t! At the Academy, I had to deal with the princess¡¯s whims and apany her, and all around my ssmates would giggle¡.¡±
¡ºHo¡¡¡»
Yes, there¡¯s a reason I spent so lonely a youth that Tre¡¯ainar was amazed with me.
It¡¯s all due to the princess.
¡°It was awful, okay? A few years ago, I was popr with the academy girls who make sweets and have boys eat them, and the princess got on it. But the princess is actually a terrible cook, but because she was practicing, she kept forcing me to eat really bad stuff as an experiment, and before I knew it, I was too upied being her test subject, so the girls were giving other boys sweets to eat¡. After that, boys¡¯ and girls¡¯ groups seemed to get along, I tried to join in but I was the only one out of the loop¡. That¡¯s not all! One day, she said that there was no carriage to pick her up after school, and even though the pce was in the opposite direction from our mansion, I was forced to escort her to the pce¡. Oh yes, there was dust on the princess¡¯s shoulder, and the moment I reached out to brush it off, the princess raised a weird voice, got angry with her face red and hit me, getting meughed at by the girls in my ss¡. when I beat a boy in the ss, Gellipy, in a mock battle, the girls were giggling for a moment, she had the nerve to give a thorough, long winded exnation to the girls and my reputation fell¡ No, I was in kindergarten before entering the Academy¡ what?¡± [1]
And, as I was ranting my grudge against the princess, Tre¡¯ainar gradually passed amazement, and began to show a little irritation.
Why?
¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ that face¡¡¡±
¡ºYou¡ so not only the eyes to judge people¡. it seems you need to study on people¡¯s feelings as well.¡»
¡°Why!?¡±
Why? You realize the misfortune I¡¯ve had because of the princess.
As I got into my senior year, there were couples in my ss who were going out, some guys have gone on dates, and asionally spent long vacations¡ that¡¡ those guys get to graduate¡
¡ºGoodness me, not only the eye for people, but also the ability to understand people¡¯s hearts¡. a moment ago, I was slightly pleased to hear that you trust me from the bottom of your heart¡¡ you said you trusted me, but I see no value in being told so by someone so dull-headed.¡»
¡°Th, that¡¯s too much!¡±
¡ºIn any case, you should learn not only the authenticity of what is visible, but also the subtleties of human emotions. Or rather, tis essential for people to live in reality. Anyone who does not understand the feelings of others, even if you trust them, they will not open their heart to you, and no one will be able to put their faith in you. Tis no exaggeration to say that Aka was simply an exception.¡»
And, I was told by the Demon King, who once tried to destroy the human race, to understand human feelings more.
Weird. I¡¯m not that dull. [2]
In the past, when I was trying to peep at the Holynd under Sadiz¡¯s skirt as she was ascending and descending the stairs, I tried to discern Sadiz¡¯s expression, gaze, and every move. ¡¡ Well, the contents I peeped at were shorts instead of panties, and even the shorts read [You Missed ?], I had an indescribable feeling.
¡ºListen in earnest. Were you to understand people¡¯s hearts a little more¡¡ perhaps Aka wouldn¡¯t have left silently.¡»
¡°Eh!!??¡±
¡ºYou do not need topletely read the depths of people¡¯s hearts, but if you considered it with a little more interest¡ you may have understood.¡»
The moment I was told that, my heart clenched.
That¡¯s right.
¡°¡¡ it seems¡¡ I¡¯m¡¡ yeah¡¡ I¡.. was dumb¡¡ I still¡ really was¡¡±
¡ºTis so. Otherwise, even if you are fortunate to find people the likes of Aka and the Shinobi girl, who feel great affection for you, unless you notice, there will be no one beside you, will there not?¡»
That night, when Mr. Aka said, ¡®Let¡¯s talk slowly tomorrow¡¯, if I could better read his true intentions¡ I may not have let Mr. Aka leave on his own¡.
¡ºA person¡¯s heart is not so easy to understand by simply getting along with them. To have done inexcusable things¡. to hurt someone with a casual word¡. to violently bumped into each other¡¡ and¡.. tomit an irreparable act to a person¡ unless you do such, you might never understand.¡»
¡°Bumping into each other¡ Irreparable¡¡±
Everything he said, it sunk into the body.
I felt like I somehow got that there were things that I would not understand unless I bumped into them.
¡ºIn that respect, the next city to visit¡ Cantidan may be suitable for you. Those who try to deceive others¡¡ those who are honest and tell the truth¡¡ tis full of many things. Simply by walking around the town, you will be spoken to by a variety of merchants.¡»
¡°That sounds¡¡ scary¡¡±
¡ºWell, I believe tis also an experience. No matter how hard the fight or battle may be, the world cannot easily be crossed. You should learn to appreciate that in your own way.¡»
¡°Okay.¡±
I felt Tre¡¯ainar had a point, so I nodded in agreement¡ that said, it¡¯s the reality, I have to see people better, then understand their hearts and ept them. Well, not only Mr. Aka, but also Tre¡¯ainar is an exception¡¡
¡°Okay, I¡¯ve answered the exchange diary, as much as I can for now¡ Let¡¯s see. I suppose I¡¯ll leave it here. And¡ ¡¸Rice balls and fried egg, it was so delicious, thank you¡¹¡ And that¡¯s good.¡±
I keep only the exchange diary and the letter and put them where the rice ball was dropped.
¡°Well¡¡ in which case, let¡¯s go straight to Cantidan.¡±
And a few hourster, I finally arrived at the foot of the mountain and set foot in the town of Cantidan. Immediately¡¡
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯ve updated it, but¡¡ Actually, I¡¯m not in Japan yet. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m alive. I¡¯m doing it energetically and happily. I didn¡¯t wear any clothes, so my whole body turned ck.
[S1] So, MC can rant too. I¡¯m still waiting to have all this thrown at her face.
[S2] Pfft!!
Chapter 69 – Vigilance
Chapter 69 ¨C Vignce
Tranted by: Sads07
It took a while, but I finally reached the foot of the mountain.
It¡¯s within Imperial territory, but the town spread out in my field of view is a newnd that I¡¯ve never been to before.
It¡¯s themercial town, Cantidan.
There are no tall buildings like the Imperial City, but there are tents on the left and right of the city streets, many stalls with sheets spread out on the floor and products lined up, and many people flocked into the town.
¡°Come on,e on! Today¡¯s goods are here! Here I have a [Hermes Bag] as worn by the upper ssdies of the Imperial City! This bag, which usually goes for a million Madka, is a super bargain cause I got it straight from the maker! How about half price at 500,000 Madka!¡±
¡°Dad Dad, it¡¯s a real Teelex pocket watch! A real one!¡±
¡°That¡¯s the price? Stop ying! You can¡¯t fool my eyes, can you?¡±
¡°Hey, you. Why don¡¯t you just listen to me? I have a good deal, but I¡¯ll only tell you.¡±
¡°When does the ve auction start?¡±
¡°This herees from a certain leaf¡. If you light it up and smoke it, it¡¯ll guide you to the world of fascination, right?¡±
The liveliness is different from that of Honeyborough, where they had a Go tournament.
Both sellers and buyers are serious and have a unique enthusiasm.
On the street, there aren¡¯t many housewives with children out to buy dinner, as in the Imperial City, or young students like me.
However, it was still crowded with a lot of people, and the city was overflowing.
¡°In-Incredible¡ It¡¯s even more crowded than themercial district of the Imperial Capital¡.¡±
¡ºHuh~¡. too much, do not look so restless, will you? An unustomed young man like youes across as easy prey, do you not?¡»
Ah, that¡¯s right.
From here on out, I had to be careful.
¡°Oh, I know. However, if you are wary from the beginning, you¡¯ll be deceived. I¡¯ll feed my eyes and look at a lot of things.¡±
¡ºOf course. And if possible, tis better to raise as much military funds as possible. Evencking an ID card, there are numerous ways to traverse the world so long as you have money.¡»
What Tre¡¯ainar told me before I got here.
Authenticity. To develop the ability to identify not only things but also people.
And to prepare for future trips, I would like to secure some money if possible.
With that in mind, I finally stepped foot into ¡°Cantidan¡±.
¡°You there, young man! Will you listen to me for a moment?¡±
Oh, I was spoken to right away.
The old man was standing at the entrance of the city. He was neatly dressed, yet he was trying to talk to a stranger? It¡¯s suspicious.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry to call out all of a sudden. I¡¯m thinking of opening a new store in this town, Mansion Gates. But it¡¯s kind of hard to open a shop by yourself¡. I¡¯d like to borrow a young man¡¯s hand, but if you¡¯re interested, could you help me? I¡¯ll pay you well, and if the store thrives, I¡¯ll pay even more, okay?¡±
I see. Hinting at money to a young man¡. It¡¯s too suspicious. In general, I do not think that a shop opened by an old man on his own will prosper.
¡°No thanks, I think you¡¯ll have to find someone else.¡±
¡°Oh, yes, that¡¯s right¡ That¡¯s too bad¡¡ it¡¯ll definitely thrive, but¡¡±
The old man became gloomy when I refused. He doesn¡¯t seem to be trying to pester me.
¡ºOi, you could at least ask what sort of products they handle, could you not?¡»
¡°Eh¡? Is that right?¡±
¡ºAh. I told you to identify people, but¡¡ I never said you should make a quick decision.¡»
¡°Hmm¡¡±
When I turned down the old man, Trainer whispered advice in my ear.
But as soon as Tre¡¯ainar told me not to be fooled, all the people in this town looked suspicious.
¡°Hey there, friend! Are you short of money? I¡¯m Mago! Mago Masgy. If you¡¯re troubled, why not help me out?¡±
¡°Wait a minute! Sir, aren¡¯t you interested in apples? Why don¡¯t we change the world together with my apples? Name¡¯s Steve Works.¡±
¡°Are you interested in our products? I¡¯ll make it cheaper now, right? We, the Lamp brothers made a tool that can fly through the sky without using magic¨C¡°
I¡¯ve only walked a few steps into the city, but I¡¯ve been called at by various people.
What¡¯s this talk about helping with your work, asking to buy your products, or flying through the sky without magic?
¡°¡¡ I don¡¯t know how to put it¡. it¡¯s lively, but it¡¯s a shady town¡¡±
¡ºIs that so? It seems to have people with very passionate eyes in the mix as well¡¡»
¡°Really?¡±
I was getting tired and sighing¡. It was then.
¡°Kyaa¡±
¡°Oh!?¡±
Someone bumped into me from behind¡ a soft sticity hit me¡¡
¡°No, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°No, no¡.. eh?!¡±
Two watermelons!? Skirt Short!?
¡°I beg your pardon, sir. This Sis was just walking around in a daze with this vase and¡.¡±
¡°N-No, it¡¯s, no, thing¡¡±
Ridiculous. What is this overwhelmingly short dress!? What¡¯s with the chest that¡¯s likely to explode!?
She had bright red lipstick, and a sexy mole near the mouth, and she¡¯s so beautiful and her killer body bumping into me, holding her hips and I can see¡.
¡°Well, this vase¡ ¡®Sis¡¯?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Regrettable, regrettable. Before she notices my gaze¡¡ somewhat, it¡¯s apletely ordinary vase.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, you had to pick it up for me¡ well, I wonder if big sis could treat you to a cup of coffee to apologize?¡±
¡°Well, no, but¡¡±
¡°Come now, kids shouldn¡¯t be so modest¡ have a chat with big sister for a little while, okay?¡±
My arm is snugly within the valley¡.
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Oh, is Earth¡ it is.¡±
¡°Oh. I¡¯m Date. I¡¯m called Date Shoho. Nice to meet you ?¡±
This is suspicious!? Yes, it¡¯s suspicious! I have to listen to a lot of things, right? I mean, if I don¡¯t take a better look¡¡
¡°Ta-Talk about to me¡ no, ah~, um, is elder sister in town for shopping?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m here to sell. This vase.¡±
She was trying to sell the vase, but her expression suddenly turned desperate¡.
¡°This is¡¡ a lucky vase¡ a vase that brings good luck to those who have it, right?¡±
¡°Re, really¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s just, because of some circumstances, and I¡¯m selling this¡ to get medicine for my sick dad¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Wh-What? As I thought of her shy outfit, what¡¯s with the dire situation?
¡°If it could sell for tens of thousands¡ but it didn¡¯t work out.¡±
Saying that, the older sister who puts out her tongue with a little tear in her eyes¡ What a pity!
I currently have around 80,000¡.
¡ºThe vase is rubbish¡¡ its value is dirt cheap at best¡¡ to begin with, if it truly brought good fortune, her father would be safe, and her luck would enable a sale from the onset, would it not?¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar made a cold-blooded and outrageous remark. Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ have you no heart! No, he¡¯s the Great Demon King!
¡ºOi, do not be fooled. The people of this town are very discerning. Tis why they do not go to street vendors or pawn shops, but to an amateur such as yourself¡.¡»
Uh¡ sure¡ But¡ But¡
¡°Hey, Mr. Earth¡¡ you know¡¡ I¡¯d like to¡ if you help a sister out¡¡ as a thank you¡¡ right?¡±
Oh, damn, this elder sister nced at me¡ Somehow, even more of the chest is exposed¡¡ no, but¡¡
¡°Hey, if you don¡¯t mind, about 50,000¡¡±
¡°Thank you very much! Earth, this kind sis just remembered an errand, so I¡¯m going home bye-bye.¡±
Because all her assets were tight against me, the moment I brought out as much money as I could manage, the elder sister smiled quickly took the money from my hand and ran from there, flinging the good luck vase as she ran away. [1]
¡°She, she¡¯s gone¡ wi, with just thanks? Wasn¡¯t she going to do something for me¡.
¡ºOi¡¡¡»
¡°¡¡ Huh¡¡ We-well, considering this helped save someone too¡¡±
Well, it¡¯s not like I was asking for something in return.
In the first ce, the money I had was like small change anyway.
If I, who had the money, could help someone suffering from an illness¡
¡°Hey¡¡ That young guy was done in right away.¡±
¡°Ah. Date¡¯s guy, he had juste to town, a virgin-smelling kid who seemed unfamiliar with women was deceived again.¡±
¡°How many suckers that be Date¡¯s victims does this make?¡±
¡¡ To help others¡?
¡ºOi¡¡ ¡»
¡°Ma¡¡ Master¡¡ Oh, I¡ I was on my guard, but¡¡ That money¡¡ Master¡¡±
¡ºHah~¡¡ Do not look so pathetic¡.¡»
¡°I¡¡ I¡¯m gonna catch that bitch!¡±
I was told to be careful.
In the first ce, that was money that Tre¡¯ainar got, but I¡
¡ºHah~¡¡ for the time being, we could chase that woman down right away and retrieve the funds¡ or otherwise hunt a bargain¡ No, unless there is some business with her you would like to attend to.¡»
¡°Ah? What does that mean¡¡±
Rather than getting angry, Tre¡¯ainar, who seemed astounded, suggested something to me.
That is¡¡
¡°Hey, there¡¯s trouble! Someone assaulted Date on the other side of the street!?¡±
¡°Somehow, she¡¯s stuck in a, like some kind of trap?¡±
¡°Hey, a young girl suddenly showed up¡ a pretty sexy girl, no boobs though, right!?¡±
¡°Guh, why are you attacking us? That tiny~ yubuhheagu!?¡±
¡°What the hell? Uoaaaah, so, so merciless. Why are you doing this? And that woman¡¡ Hey, Date can¡¯t move at all and you¡¯re actually stripping her bare!¡±
¡°That girl, chattering!? Huh? What are you saying? Big-breasted monsters must perish? They deserve certain death for deceiving honey?¡± [2]
There seemed to be some fuss across the street at the time, but I was oblivious to it as I listened to Tre¡¯ainar.
[S1] SMH!! I¡¯m literally Shaking My Head at this point¡
[S2] Wonder what that¡¯s about! Ah! Probably nothing important¡

Chapter 70 ¨C Trouble

Cantidan. There is a mixture of genuine and counterfeit items, so judging super expensive and dirt cheap items depends on both seller and the buyer.
The sh between the buying side looking to cut the price by even a single coin and the selling side determined to not lose even a single coin was unfolding here and there.
¡°Hou~...... Is that a journal written by The Great Demon King, Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡°Yes! It was found on the scene when the Allied forces took control of the Demon King¡¯s Zettsmaite territory, these were orders that Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar sent to the unitmander who was in charge of the territory.¡±
And.....
¡ºNever have I sent such a missive. In general, I do not leave handwritten documents. All orders were ryed by the magic crystal, and I only issued instructions to those of the 6 Supremacy ss directly. Tis almost impossible to send them to a Commanding Officer ss.¡»
Among the many things that the All-Knowing, All-Powerful Tre¡¯ainar boasts of knowing the most, it¡¯s fakes.
¡°This is the Wand of Brilliance held by the king of the ruined Kingdom of Monay two centuries ago. Its historical value, is preposterous, as of now however...¡±
¡ºTis a fake with simple sswork embedded within. In the first ce, the king of that country had a Sun Staff...¡»
¡°This is Kotetsu, the sword wielded by the legendary swordsman Konduo, who was once the pride of Japone!¡±
¡ºThe actual article was once broken by me.¡»
Or rather, from what I¡¯ve been hearing from Tre¡¯ainar so far......
¡°...... are there only fakes here?¡±
¡ºWell, tis how things are. Cantidan is also known as A Thousand and Three.¡»
¡°Aha! So if there are a thousand pieces, only three are real?¡±
¡ºNo, you might say three is too generous. Tis likely less.¡»
At first, I¡¯ll make a fortune.... was what I thought, but the reality doesn¡¯t seem so generous.
After all, if there is no genuine article, there is neither profit nor shit.
¡ºBut...... tis actually my first time here, then again...... I believed there was a little more of a ¡®behind the scenes¡¯ feel to things, but it does not seem so.¡»
Then, from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s muttering, I wondered if he had a slightly different impression of this town.
¡°Behind the scenes?¡±
¡ºSpeaking of the shadows, tis the shadows. Surely I have mentioned such? While this city is rife with fraudulent crimes of selling counterfeit goods under the guise of legendary treasure, it could not be crushed due to its economic benefits.¡»
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡ºBut there was a great pretext that kept it from being crushed. Tis the existence of the ¡®Underworld¡¯.¡»
¡°Underworld?¡±
¡ºUh hun. In such ces, items prohibited byw are also traded behind the scenes. In addition to selling counterfeits that are different from the actual price. However, such dealings naturally cause trouble. In order to solve such problems, there is an Underworld organization.¡»
¡°...... Ah...... like a bouncer.¡±
¡ºTis so. They arepensated by the shops and merchants they ce under their protection... At times they act as intermediaries, and oversee dealings behind the scenes with high-ranking officials from all over the world and sometimes they traded secretly with the demons.¡»
When I watched Tre¡¯ainar talking with a somewhat ¡°Nostalgic¡± feel, it somehow struck me.
¡°Hey, maybe the Demon King¡¯s Army...¡±
¡ºOh. I was not involved directly, but...... the organization that had been in this town for decades had some involvement with the Demon King¡¯s Army.¡»
¡°Whoa...... During the war, humans made deals with the Demon King¡¯s Army....¡±
¡ºCome now, the world is full of many diverse humans, or so I heard. Those who do not care forw or order.... known as ¡®the Mafia¡¯ existed.¡»
Mafia. I heard that name...eh? That reminded me of something.
¡°Ah? No, I remembered it in the Mafia...... certainly, a few years ago, my father took the initiative on the ¡®Mafia Expulsion Initiative¡¯, and so the minister who was connected with the big organization was disposed of. Hmm... the name was... well...¡±
I was too young, I wasn¡¯t really interested, and it hasn¡¯t been on the test yet, so I don¡¯t remember much.
But I was aware of such a big event in the Empire.
¡º......the Bockmati Family......?¡»
¡°Ah, yes! That¡¯s it!¡±
I finally remembered the name when he said it.
And, it seemed to be an organization that Tre¡¯ainar also knew, and he had a slightly surprised expression.
¡ºI see... they have fallen?¡»
¡°Did you know them?¡±
¡ºWell...... there were useful. In addition, the boss of the organization was also a known Martial Artist, one of the Six Supremacy even acknowledged his strength.¡»
It sounds a little nostalgic...
¡ºThe boss of the Bockmati family......¡¯Inai¡¯ expanded the organization with his stout arm, and with fearless audacity, he went to the Demon Realm and traded directly with the Demons.¡»
¡°Oh...... Inai... certainly, I saw the name spread in the Imperial City Newspapers. The Imperial Knights captured him.¡±
¡ºI see... then...... already......¡»
Tre¡¯ainar had aplicated expression.
Hmm? Why? Tre¡¯ainar said he didn¡¯t trade directly, but I don¡¯t think that¡¯s all there is to it.
I don¡¯t think Tre¡¯ainar would lie, but did he have some important dealing he was emotionally attached to?
When I was about to ask that...
¡°Somebody, help me.¡±
¡°Hmm? Uhhh!?¡±
There was a crowd around the corner, where a naked woman caught in a was seeking help.
The moment I saw the woman, I was shocked.
¡°You, the con woman from earlier!¡±
¡°Huh? Oh, geez...It wasn¡¯t me. Hey~, what¡¯s up with you, why so angry?¡± [1]
The moment the woman saw me, her face turned pale.
Honestly, my anger outweighed my questions about the situation and her nudity and all that.
¡°Hey, you! Return the 50,000 that you just took!¡±
¡°Hey, wait, I have nothing!¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way! It just happened!¡±
¡°It¡¯s true, look at the state I¡¯m in, utterly naked! A weird girl robbed me saying, ¡®This money is confiscated¡¯!¡±
Saying that, her naked body and huge milk jugs, which were swollen red for some reason, as if pped many times in anger.... I don¡¯t care, it¡¯s not! [2]
Also, don¡¯t let the boobs and stuff fool you again, me!
¡°Too bad! You trample on people¡¯s good will! Purity! What the hell is wrong with you?¡±
¡°Well, I didn¡¯t cheat you... I gave you a vase, right? You¡¯re the one who was convinced 50,000 was its worth and paid up, right?¡±
¡°A dirt cheap vase, don¡¯t quibble with the guy you fed false stories for sympathy to take his money.¡±
I¡¯m trying my best not to be fooled again, the hand-print on her breast.... I desperately turned my eyes away from the breasts, and Ish out at the woman.
To be honest, I don¡¯t know why the woman was robbed, but I have to ask her to pay me back my money, even if it was a causal retribution.
But......
¡°Hey... It was not a theft, but a price of a vase was given and money was exchanged neatly, and the deal was settled. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s uncouth after it was approved, pal.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the way it is. It¡¯s against the city¡¯s rules to try to resolve a deal that has been settled with violence, right?¡±
¡°Well, it sucks you got deceived.¡±
It was then.
Three men came out to the front, parting out the crowd.
¡°AH? What the hell, you guys.¡±
The men who came out are young, and they may be older than me, but they are in theirte teens to early twenties?
All of them wore long ck coats for some reason, and the clothes had some shy embroidery.
And the hair style, a weird baguette like shape rose from the guy¡¯s head. No, really, what is that? [3]
¡°Yo, Date. I heard a strange woman was attacking you and I rushed over... what happened?¡±
¡°Ah, you¡¯re toote! ¡®Kamikaze Gang¡¯! Get me down quickly and catch the woman who robbed me of my money! And take care of the brat!¡±
¡°Good grief, Calm the fuck down. He¡¯s just a freaking kid? Well~, you fell for it, didn¡¯t you?¡±
And, they seem to be acquainted with the woman.... or rather, is she famous in this town?
¡°Oh, they¡¯re from big bro¡¯s gang.¡±
¡°Gonna put those figures to good use today too!¡±
¡°Hey, good job bros!¡±
¡°Hey, no ¡®Bro Leader¡¯ today? If you stay, I¡¯ve got some good booze for youter.¡±
The merchants of the city are cheering with a smile on their faces at the situation.
But to me, it looks like the strange men suddenly got in the way.
And the guys approached me in a familiar manner.
¡°Hey, brother. There are rules in this town. Don¡¯tin after a deal is done... let alone resort to violence. I¡¯m sorry you have been duped by this thot, but take it as a tuition fee and give up.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the way it is. If you don¡¯t properly follow the rules, dudes like us show up.¡±
Saying that, the men stood shoulder to shoulder me and tapped my head.... it was irritating.
But at the same time, somehow I understood these guys.
¡°You guys? You¡¯re the underworld in this town? Just when you think the Bockmati family was ruined, there are still people like you guys?¡±
An underworld organization which managed the town that my father should have already destroyed.
However, even if you think that it¡¯s gone, a new alternative organization would be established again.
Though not as refined............
¡°Hahaha...... Hey, don¡¯t go lumping us with those Bockmati shits.¡±
But maybe he didn¡¯t like what I said, and the guy¡¯s eyebrows twitched a little.
¡°Ah? Could you say that the guys defending the woman who robbed a poor teenage kid of what little money he had are loftier than the people of the organization that perished?¡±
I was honestly irritated by the encounter, so I went tit-for-tat with provocative words at the guys who showed up.
But in my words......
¡°Hey, hey, wait there, guys!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t know who the kid is, I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on, I don¡¯t know about the Kamikaze gang.¡±
Surprisingly, it wasn¡¯t the guys who responded first, but the merchants in the city.
Everyone looked offended at words and tried to argue back.
But......
¡°Well, wait and see, uncles. It may be quite ignorant to pick a fight with us in this town, but it¡¯s ballsy of this pompous prat, the nerve on this kid.¡±
The guys took control of the opposing voices by themselves, only one of them stepped forward and snapped his fist, and faced me.
¡°It¡¯s okay. We don¡¯t just work over those who break the rules... it is also the team¡¯s rule to buy a fight that¡¯s been sold. So,e on!¡±
If Ie this far, even I, who is said to be dull, knew where this was going.
In other words, we¡¯re going to fight.
¡°No, wait a minute. I don¡¯t want violence or a fight. I just want my 50,000 back.¡±
¡°Ah. But, even if we don¡¯t get the situation, we think that making fools of us is selling a fight. If you don¡¯t like it, you can apologize on your knees.¡±
¡°Ah? Apologize? I don¡¯t know.¡±
They¡¯re much simpler and easier to understand than those merchants who try to sell products you don¡¯t know whether they are fake or genuine or strange women that forced their bosom on you.
¡°Thene on, brat! We¡¯ll engrave the Kamikaze Gang on your body, mind, and heart!¡±
Saying so, the man with the baguette head raised both fists and held it. At the same time, the crowd gathered round and cheers rose up.
¡°Remember it! I¡¯m the Third Suicide Fighter of the Kamikaze Gang, the name is ¨C¡°
¡°I don¡¯t care.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°I mean, it doesn¡¯t even resonate in the Imperial Capital over the mountains, so that¡¯s about it, right?¡±
...... before the cheers rose, and before anyone gave their name, I jumped into the opponent¡¯s pocket with a momentary step-in and smashed with the left.... and stopped it.
¡°Ah, eh...... What?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±............ Eh??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Not only the person himself, from that moment, while the merchants, who expected to see a fight of the organization they seemed to adore for some reason, were frozen with their mouths wide open, I nimble went by the Baguette head guy and ran towards the other two men.
¡°Hey, hold on... What the fuck is ¨D¨D¨D eh!?¡±
¡°Oh no!¡±
¡°Heh!?¡±
In a rush, the guy threw a right fist counterattack but I crossed that right fist and threw a counter to the man¡¯s face....
¡°Great Demon Light Cross¡±
...... I stopped just before...
¡°Hey, ah, ah...... th-this guy.¡±
I immediately turned to the other, and, before he had finished talking, stopped a screw-like punch on the chin and the right temple.
The next moment, everyone was speechless, and the three men who appeared were rather taken aback than dazed.
Well, I guess that¡¯s it.
It was a little different from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s quest for authenticity, but before the fight, I knew that the three would not be the match for me by their manners, their muscles and their form.
So, to the three who were stunned....
¡°This is a merchant town, right? Then you guys... must learn to discern the true power of the opponent you¡¯re fighting.¡±
I said, as if I were looking down on them.
Author¡¯s Notes
I finally returned to Japan, went to Nagoya for three consecutive holidays, and finally came back. Refreshed? No, on the other hand, I¡¯m tired, but tomorrow... no, I¡¯d like to start from today.
And everyone was worried about a lot of things, but there were no problems such as immigration and check-in overseas. Rather, the metal detector was smooth and said ¡°good¡±.
However, there were some unexpected things. What in Nagoya! I stayed at a capsule hotel, but the room temperature was high, so when I was wandering around in just the right outfit, I was warned, ¡°the guest should not walk around in that....¡± I apologize to all the staff.
[S1] Yeah, when in a jam, go [the Shaggy route].
[S2] You just know Instant Memory Magic, ¡¾Canonicon¡¿is working overtime here.
[S3] That is a [Pompadour]. Or rather, the [Anime Version] ...

¡ºHuh, authenticity... you say?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar threw a retort at my remark, but he seemed to be in a slightly good mood.
¡ºHowever, tis better to not get too carried away by overwhelming the small fry, is it not? If you overdo it, you may appear as the weak one.¡»
¡¸Osu.¡¹
These guys aren¡¯t a threat to me. Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words to me weren¡¯t ¡®Don¡¯t let your guard down¡¯, but rather ¡®Don¡¯t get too carried away¡¯.
Thinking that it¡¯s typical of Tre¡¯ainar, I looked down on the three guys who stayed down due to shock then nimbly hopped on the spot and stepped back.
¡°So, are we done?¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh!!??¡±¡±¡±
When I asked, the three guys stood up in unison.
¡°Tch, we were caught off guard... heh, you¡¯re not an amateur. You learned that somewhere, right?¡±
¡°But for you to stop, what a softy.¡±
¡°By any chance, an Imperial Pushover?¡±
The three of them smiled and took a stance, their battle spirit unbroken.
¡°I¡¯ll tell you, this is not how the Kamikaze Gang fights!¡±
¡°Oh, if you think that¡¯s the measure of the Kamikaze Gang¡¯s strength, you¡¯re so wrong!¡±
¡°Pulling your punches hah? I¡¯ll treat this cheeky brat to our deadly special full course!¡±
It might have fired these guys up apparently.
Well, I¡¯d like to hit you anyway.
¡°What¡¯s a special full course? Older guys nowadays have terrible naming sense.¡±
¡ºWhat was that?¡»
¡°This full course of yours, you¡¯ll have to ept a return on the goods, at all cost! Come on, I¡¯ll take all three of you!¡±
¡ºNo, tis why you should not get carried away... well, not that I care....¡»
¡°But I¡¯m really going to hit you this time.¡±
Even though I was told not to get carried away, I was still in a bad mood because the encounter irritated me.
I challenged the three of them toe all at once, and with a snap, the guys shouted and raised their voices.
¡°Bastard! Don¡¯t look down at us!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s do it! We mastered the underworld¡¯s strongest martial art, ¡®Arcane True Zenith Style¡¯ in 3 days!¡±
¡°You¡¯re gonna regret getting cocky with us!¡±
Saying that, the three guys nodded to each other, lined up, ran straight at me.
The assault of the three guys wearing ck coats...
¡°¡±¡±We¡¯ll show you, hooligan pride of the Kamikaze Gang, ck Three Prong Star of the Arcane True Ze¨C¡°¡±¡±
¡ºHuh?¡»
For a moment, I felt like Tre¡¯ainar had tilted his head, but I don¡¯t care....
¡°Great Demon Body Blow!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Hebu, Bugo, Domu!¡±¡±¡±
¡°Such an unsavory full course, I can¡¯t ept that.¡±
I mmed it into the body of the guy at the front and the momentum of the blow hit the other guys behind him.
¡°What, what!?¡±
¡°Hey, what¡¯s that kid?¡±
¡°That guy, so absurd! Those three in an instant!¡±
¡°Hey, hey, somebody call ¡®Leader Bro¡¯!¡±
This time, the merchants around me raised their voices in astonishment at the sight of three guys who fell down and couldn¡¯t immediately stand up.
And when I realized, that woman was gone....
¡°Damn...... did she run away in the chaos... now what do I do ....¡±
¡º............¡»
¡¸Hmm? Hey, Tre¡¯ainar, what¡¯s wrong? You look strange.¡¹
¡ºNothing.... just...¡»
At the time, Tre¡¯ainar who was beside me seemed worried about something, as he stared at the three guys on the floor.
I wonder what got you bothered......
¡°Gaha, ba, bastard... Yo, you dare.¡±
And then, the guys got up. However, it seems they won¡¯t be able to stand up easily this time.
¡°But...... Yo-you getting all smug just because you¡¯ve beaten us? We have some allies on our side, you see.... ¡°
¡°Hey, it sounds like a pathetic throwaway line that appears in a story, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Ah, wh-what¡¯s that!?¡±
However, bothering with every nuisance anymore would be particrly troublesome.
To begin with, that woman got away...... Or should I give up on the 50,000 and think about how to manage with the remaining 30,000?
¡°Bastard, you¡¯re gonna regret this! You¡¯ve turned the most dangerous man in the empire, the one person you shouldn¡¯t, into an enemy!¡±
¡°Ah, yes, yes... I¡¯m so scared, so I¡¯ll be going now.¡±
Can you keeppany with a gang member forever?
First of all, simple daily necessities and food... and then, money of course. It¡¯s money after all, isn¡¯t it?
¡°Hey, hey! Really, don¡¯t go! The boss, our Big Bro, he¡¯ll be here soon! And when Bro arrives, he¡¯ll...¡±
At first, I was thinking about buying and selling treasure on the cheap in this town, but, in the first ce, it doesn¡¯t seem that treasures are easily mixed in.
No, Tre¡¯ainar said something like ¡°business¡± to me, but what kind of business...
¡°¡ªhave, hey! That¡¯s why you shouldn¡¯t ignore me! Get back here! Damn, somebody call Bro now! Bro! Bro! Brooo!¡±
Well, it¡¯s been a while since......
¡°Good Grief(Yare Yare)... I can hear you. Don¡¯t yell people¡¯s names in the street, it¡¯s embarrassing, yeh.¡±
And that was when.
¡°Domouf!?¡±
¡°...... Geh.¡±
Just as I was about to rebuke him for being too noisy, a man suddenly appeared and lightly swung his fist on baguette head.
¡°So..... you guys...... what are you doing to my hometown?¡±
But the moment the man appeared, both the baguette head and the merchants smiled with their eyes shining as if a ¡®hero¡¯ had arrived.
¡°B, Bro!?¡±
¡°Yo, you¡¯re too damn noisy, yeh.¡±
¡°Bro, listen! I hate to say it, but...... we¡¯ve lost.¡±
¡°I can tell without looking. Well, I¡¯m not surprised you guys lost, yeh.¡±
¡°Such, so, so bright!?¡±
¡°Kakkaka¡±
White trousers in a long white coat with shy embroidery and patterns.
He wears arge white hat so deep on his head that it hides his ears, and with a lit cigarette in his mouth.
¡°But, hah~, don¡¯t worry about it. No shame in defeat.¡±
¡°Bro...¡±
¡°Thing is, I don¡¯t like it when you call my name afterwards, yeh.¡±
He had a slender build, so tall and slim.... but...... I could tell.
¡°...... heh~.¡±
¡º...... un.....no? This one...¡»
He looked slender, but you can see it through his clothes. Quite...... not gonna y... so-so.
¡°Well, if you¡¯re gonna rely on others after losing a fight, why don¡¯t you guys just do it from the start? Only pick a fight with those who don¡¯t mind fighting, even if you get yourselves wrecked as a result. You don¡¯t even have the guts to do that, that¡¯s why you ran away from ¡®Arcane True Zenith Style¡¯ after three days, yeh.¡±
¡°Bro............ Well, that¡¯s true, but...... But that kid tried to break the rules of our town and turned to violence! We can¡¯t stay quiet when a guy breaks the rules, right? It¡¯smon sense!¡±
¡°Why, you guys decided on your own with the geezers and the like. When was all that approved by the Imperial Assembly and became aw? I don¡¯t give a shit who¡¯s from out of town, yeh.¡±
¡°Ugh, th-that¡¯s...¡±
¡°It¡¯s a little too much to make such a selfish rule, fight to push it through, then have the tables turned on you only to rely on people and to talk aboutmon sense when at your own convenience, isn¡¯t it?¡±
He looked quite young. Probably a normal teenager.... Even though...... he¡¯s got a keen eye, those guys were wild, vulgar and not too bright, but he has a very calm demeanor.
What do you call it...Dignity? It felt like something I can¡¯t exin was overflowing from his body.
¡°Remember. When a ¡®hoodlum¡¯ starts to follow themon sense of the world, it¡¯s all over, yeh.¡±
¡°U, uh...¡±
And even some kind of light sermon.
Somehow, for a hooligan¡¯s head, that¡¯s kind of unexpected.
And.....
¡°So, are you the chap who got caught up in some trouble or are you raising a fuss? You¡¯re young... a kid?¡±
¡°Huh? A-ah...... a strange woman took 50,000 for a dirt cheap vase.¡±
¡°Hmm~, ah~...... Date...... Kakka...... thatdy¡¯s no good, isn¡¯t she? Well, that was unfortunate.¡±
The man turned to me. He spoke in a calm tone, and with a smiling face while holding his head.
¡°And you, who have been so unfortunate, have two choices.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
However, the man......
¡°Either you get down on your knees with an apology, or I get my one-on-one fight, those two.¡±
¡°...... Tut? Ah? Huh?¡±
He made an unexpected proposal to me in the same tone.
¡°Hah, really, you gotta be kidding me! Why would I put up a fight! It¡¯s none of your business in the first ce!¡±
¡°Oh no~, well, might be true, but you know, even though they¡¯re such idiots who rely on others, they¡¯re still my buds that you gone done in. You gotta make that distinction, yeh.¡±
¡°You tell your people not to rely on others, yet you¡¯ll actually do it! What kind of logic is that?¡¡So messed up!¡±
¡°Of course. Do I look like a decent chap you can talk to?¡±
Even for a moment, I thought he might be a little understanding, but the unexpected choices made me raise my voice.
However, the man told me so with straight eyes without fear at all.
¡°The scum, trash and hopelessly reckless fellows of the world who are incapable of doing normal things or followingmon sense. That¡¯s what we are, the ¡®hoodlums¡¯.¡±
Messed up logic. I¡¯m aware of that, but the man whoughed thinking, ¡°So what?¡± as he hoped I would fight back, called his group the ¡°Hoodlums¡±.
¡°Ah, how annoying...¡±
¡°Kakka. Well, the selfish world and the age of the delinquents have gone on in such a way. That¡¯s why it¡¯s worse than the Mafia.¡±
He proudlyughed while admitting that he¡¯s a piece of shit.
Somehow, this is a type I¡¯ve never met before, this guy.
¡°Oh, but I don¡¯t have the heart to put in an apology, do I?¡±
¡°Then, as the chap whose buddies were done in, I have to put life on the line and obtain it, yeh.¡±
At that moment, though he wasughing, somehow his expression tightened... and the air...... changed?
¡°...... this guy...¡±
I wonder what. It felt strange.
It¡¯s not a sharpened air like with the princess or Rebal.
It¡¯s not an overwhelmingly crushing air like Mr. Aka either.
¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯vee here for, but... as the chap throwing his weight around in my hometown, kid or not, you will be given a grand wee....¡±
¡°Heh... is that the rule of this town?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s my style.¡±
Even though it¡¯s calm, it feels like it¡¯s somehow enveloping, and the enveloping air is gradually heating me up inside.... the hell?
I don¡¯t know how strong he is.
¡ºIf you cannot discern it... you have no choice but to step in and find out.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent, whispered in my ear.
¡ºSurely...... warriors and soldiers...... different from mages, hunters, killers and mafias... Well, I could say tis just a ridiculous, reckless idiot...... living by his own beliefs... feels that way.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also, in some respect, with this guy...... he seems unable to take a measure of this man called Bro.
It¡¯s unusual.
However, I agreed with what was said.
¡°Then put your body up so I can grind you against the ground!¡±
¡°Hoh~. Aren¡¯t you stylish, brother. So zing. A brat, but...... you¡¯re manly, yeh?¡±
So, as Tre¡¯ainar said, I decided to jump in.
With a light step, the Great Demon Flicker stance was set.
¡°Haha, silly kid! Are you going to take on Bro!?¡±
¡°Bro¡¯s the best~ he graduated from the ¡®Arcane True Zenith Style¡¯ dojo!¡±
The guys I beat and merchants raised astonished voices at my appearance.
Or rather, what¡¯s that something dojo anyhow?
¡¸...... Tre¡¯ainar...... have you heard of it?¡¹
¡ºNever... tis as if...... but...... I am a tad concerned...¡»
Sure enough, is it a pretty low-profile dojo that even Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t know, as you can expect?
However, as long as it is unknown, we must be vignt.
Then, when I tightened my mind and lowered my waist a little, Bro scratched his head a little shyly...
¡°Oh, stop already, you guys. It¡¯s embarrassing. I mean, most people don¡¯t know anything about that. Besides, the road a man walked and the effort he put so far do not matter in a fight, it is not enough to talk with the mouth. We talk as we sh, and the winner wins, that¡¯s the only rule, yeh.¡±
It¡¯s kind of refreshing, but it¡¯s as if I¡¯m going to lose, and Bro¡¯s got confidence.
¡°You think so, too, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I agree!¡±
I moved forward.

So-so¡¡ quite¡¡ no, that¡¯s not the case.
When the fight began, the atmosphere gave the impression that he is not an ordinary guy.
This is not an opponent that could bepared to petty small fries.
First of all, let¡¯s wait and see while putting in some practice with the fist.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker!¡¿¡±
My left with a snap like a whip.
It¡¯s impossible to tell at first sight.
¡°Ate, te, itete¡¡ o, ~ooh.¡±
Sure enough, my left hit Bro on the cheek with a few shots.
It hit normally.
¡°What, eh? Hey, what¡¯s with those punches just now!?¡±
¡°Too fast, how many blows have you struck¡¡±
¡°Even Bro can¡¯t avoid it either!¡±
A roar rose from the surroundings. Apparently, my left is unexpected to them.
But what about Bro in front of me?
¡°Oh, that¡¯s amazing¡±
Even though he was getting hit, he had plenty ofposure.
Then, guess I¡¯ll give him a little more.
¡°If it suits you, I¡¯ll give you extra! So©`©`©`raaa!¡±
¡°O~tsu!? Ate, o, oto to to.¡±
A series of Great Demon Flicker shots.
I got up close, and with my left within range, rained on Bro¡¯s face many times.
¡°Oh, B-Bro!?¡±
¡°Hey, Bro! What are you doing?¡±
I¡¯ve been hitting Bro¡¯s face with my lefts repeatedly, and I could feel it on my fist¡
¡°Good grief¡ you¡¯re being modest¡. Seiya!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The next moment, a shock struck the thigh of my left leg.
The pain is as if a lightning bolt struck with a blunt instrument.
It hurt when Bro, who was being beaten so hard, hit my thigh with a kick of his right leg.
¡°Nu¡¡ Low kick¡¡±
L-Low, kick? No, but, what is this pain? Numb, the steps¡
¡°Keep a distance with left-handed punches then target your opponent with the right-handed cannon¡. an orthodox style, but much too stale, brother.¡±
¡°Wh, at? ¡¡eh?¡±
Then something cast a shadow over my head.
¡°A fight has to be shy, right?¡±
It was Bro¡¯s right leg, which kicked my left thigh, then raised the leg above my head in a wide open stance.
That stance, which required a very limber body to be done, is like the open-mouthed jaw of a beast.
¡º¡¡ tis an Axe Kick!? Back away, child!¡»
¡°No, ah, my leg¡ uaah!¡±
The moment Tre¡¯ainar shouted, the heel of Bro¡¯s foot, which he raised overhead, dropped down over my head.
I immediately tried to back away, but a dull pain on my left leg caused a brief dy in my reaction, and as a result, Bro¡¯s heel hit the tip of my nose¡.
¡°Gotta¡¡ buh, bo!? Oh, ah¡¡±
Blood erupted from my nose.
¡°Tsu¡¡ nosebleed¡¡ this guy¡ got me¨D¨D¨D¡±
Nosebleed. Moreover, it dripped vigorously to the ground from both nostrils.
¡ºDo not be idle, child!¡»
¡°Heh? tsu!?¡±
The moment I was distracted by my nosebleeds and clicked my tongue, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s voice.
When I suddenly looked up, Bro was nowhere to be seen¡. eh? Where?
¡ºAbove!¡»
Above? The moment I looked up, Bro jumped high above, rotated in the air and put on that momentum¡¡.
¡°Don¡¯t be dazed in the middle of a fight!¡±
¡°Guh!¡±
¡ºTch, toote! Fall down on your buttocks immediately, child!¡»
Without Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, I¡¯d definitely have received Bro¡¯s heel down on my head or face.
As I sat on my butt and evaded Bro¡¯s kick, or rather let it pass over my head, the sound of a wind noise, as if a sword was vigorously swung, was heard.
¡°Oh¡¡ avoided. You¡¯re good, brother.¡±
¡°Nya, no, no! ¡¹
¡º¡¡ a spinning kick around the body rotation¡¡ this man¡¡¡»
He¡¯s using some weird footwork. But, he can¡¯t keep it up forever!
The pain in my left leg is still there, but it¡¯s nothingpared to Aka¡¯s punch!
¡°Damn! What a mushy practice!¡±
¡°Kakka¡¡ the boiling point is low¡ but I don¡¯t hate it.¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Overhand!¡¿¡±
I stopped chiming in with my left.
Turned the right full swing¡¡
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Rolling Sobat!¡¿¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, Bro flew on one leg, and hit a strong kick to my overhand while spinning.
¡º¡¡ a back flip to a roundhouse kick¡¡ no¡.. this is¡¡ Sobat?¡»
My right fist, made a strange sound¡. no, I, can¡¯t lose!
¡°Uooooooooooh!¡±
¡ºTis no use¡¡ a kick is three times as powerful as a fist¡ to break it¡¡ spare nothing! Use it!¡»
That¡¯s right, I can¡¯t lose here?
Well, I went toe to toe with Mr. Aka.
Even so, if I get tossed around here, I¡¯ll have to apologize to Mr. Aka.
For Mr. Aka¡¯s sake, who left my side to protect me from my own weakness¡
¡°As if I could lose in a ce like this.¡±
¡°Eh!? Ah, this light¡¡ this technique¡¡¡±
¡°Let¡¯s flyyyyyy! Breakthrough!!¡±
In a simple wait and see, I immediately got tossed around and almost overpowered here.
My assessment was unreliable.
To think there was such a crazy hooligan in a ce like this, but this guy¡¡ Bro is strong.
The other day I battled against those ninja warriors¡¡ perhaps, they were at the level of Advanced Imperial Warriors¡¡
And I still can¡¯t see the bottom of his strength.
That¡¯s why this was the right choice.
Push through with the Breakthrough.
In this state, a little numbness in my legs is not a problem!
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step!¡¿¡±
After disrupting the opponent¡¯s timing by stepping from deceleration to sudden eleration and jumping into his reach in an instant¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash!¡¿¡±
A left smash. I swung off with enough power to blow the opponent¡¯s neck off. But¡¡
¡°Kakka¡¡ I was shocked¡ amazing, brother.¡±
¡°Tch¡¡±
Did he see through it? Did I make too big of a swing? Bro avoided my fist by slightly shifting his upper body to the back.
Instead, my fist shattered the cigarette that Bro was holding in his mouth.
But that¡¯s not the end.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Overhand!¡¿¡±
The full swing in pursuit of his face again¡¡
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Zinga Step!¡¿¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
The moment I thought about it, did Bro drop his hips and avoid my full swing with a unique step that swayed side to side while defending his face?
No, it¡¯s different.
¡°He didn¡¯t avoid it¡ I couldn¡¯t perceive it?¡±
¡º¡¡ Zinga!? This man¡ why that step? Certainly not¡¡»
¡°Who is this guy really? A man like this, unknown to the Empire¡¡ Why?¡±
It was something I¡¯ve never seen before either, having learned a lot of steps indder training.
Involuntarily, Bro went outside the range of my fist at that chance.
But he¡¯s not moving fast enough. I was a little taken aback, but I shouldn¡¯t be confused with my speed, my visual acuity, and my peripheral vision¡
¡°But let¡¯s go! ¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Blow!¡¿¡±
In an instant, I jumped in front of Bro, and this time to his face, I threw a full-blooded right¡
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Cross Counter Kick¡¿¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, the sole of Bro¡¯s foot was on my face like a cross with my straight fist¡. ah, a cross counter with the feet!?
No, it¡¯s dangerous! Or, not good! I can¡¯t stop for a second! Dodge¡¡
¡ºJump in!¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words ran through my mind.
And, at the same time, a recollection of Mr. Aka¡¡ ah!
¡°Tch, oh¡¡ ¡¾Great Demon Headbutt!¡¿¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Feet and fists cross, and I took Bro¡¯s kick with my forehead.
And at the same time, something broke, something cracked, and a dull sound was heard.
¡°Ka, gah¡¡ Guh¡¡¡±
Cracked. Head. There was definitely blood gushing out¡¡ but, it was nothing¡pared to Mr. Aka¡¯s punch¡¡
¡°What the heck! Ora!¡±
I¡¯ve endured it. I forced back the consciousness I was about to lose, and I barked to fire myself up.
Well actually¡¡
¡°What¡ What in the world?¡±
¡°What¡ these two¡¡ wow, in just a few seconds.¡±
¡°I held my breath as I watched¡ I forgot to breathe.¡±
¡°Ah, I don¡¯t get what¡¯s going on at all¡¡±
It¡¯s only been a few seconds since Bro and I shed, leaving the crowd behind.
¡°Ha~, ha~¡. tch. Even so, it¡¯s trickier than opponents who wield swords and magic.¡±
I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to give chase right away. A slight interval. In order not to waste the breakthrough, I release it and stare at Bro.
Then, Bro was standing on one leg with a little bitter smile.
¡°I¡¯m¡¡ surprised¡¡ now¡¡ got my knee ¡. I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d jump into my counter¡¡±
Apparently, Bro didn¡¯t make it out unscathed now either. He¡¯s smiling, but I can see that he¡¯s sweating a little.
I hurt the knee of the guy who uses foot techniques.
¡°You¡¯re the one using strange moves. In general, you said this was a delinquent fight, and then had the nerve to throw your feet around. Normally we should exchange blows with our fists, right?¡±
As I adjusted my breathing, I sarcastically told him.
Then, Bro shrugged both shoulders and replied.
¡°Normally. But, what do you think, brother? We¡¯ve been standing on both feet since we were young and made our way through life. When we are in trouble, when we are in pain, when we hit rock bottom, and when we crawl down to the ground ¡. our feet always stand us back up and move us forward, yeh.¡±
¡°¡¡ So?¡±
¡°In other words, those feet have supported, endured, and worked together with you more than anything else. Therefore, people spend their lives on their feet. Do you think that hitting with your feet is the same as striking with your life and thoughts?¡±
Moreover, he came up with some very messy theory and logic, and said it with confidence.
¡°Hmm¡¡ I just said ¡®Normally¡¯, I¡¯m not saying hitting each other with fists is the most necessary thing in a fight¡ that¡¯s why, I can¡¯t even say it¡¯s feet either.¡±
¡°Hoh~¡¡±
Yes, it¡¯s not the fist. It¡¯s not even the feet.
What¡¯s most necessary in a fight.
I learned that the hard way.
Isn¡¯t that right? Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºOf course.¡»
Yes, I, through action, came to know¡.
¡°After all¡¡ what¡¯s most important in a fight is¡¡ heart!¡±
So, I blurted it out with confidence.
¡°Come, let¡¯s go on! I¡¯ll throw myself out and hit you with my heart without fear!!¡±
I beat my chest forcefully, raised both fists, and repositioned my fighting pose.
And then¡¡
¡°Pu, kuku¡¡ Kakka¡¡ Kakkakkaka!!¡±
Bro, on the spot, sat his butt on the ground andughed heartily as if he had expected things to go this way.
It wasn¡¯t augh to ridicule me¡. It was somewhat happy¡¡
¡°I say. You got me there¡¡ that¡¯s right, me of all people, what I took as the origin of the fight was so far off. That¡¯s good, brother. Amazing.¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡°A bleeding nose, forehead split open, and face dyed bright red, but your eyes got the same re. Those eyes¡ they kind of remind me of the days when I was a bit green, yeh.¡±
And whileughing, Bro looked at me with a warm gaze, squinting as if nostalgic of the old days somewhere.
¡°Hah~, somehow, I¡¯mpletely not in that mood¡ Ah, brother¡. you have two new choices.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°For the time being, I can still fight too, so will we continue on as is¡ Or, the money Date took¡¡ I can¡¯t give it back, but I¡¯ll treat you to as much, yeh.¡±
¡°¡eh, ah? Err?¡±
When I realized that the atmosphere of the scene was no longer fit for a fight, Bro gave his suggestion.
Not only me but the proposal also surprised Bro¡¯s friends and merchants.
¡°No, eh¡¡ Why!?¡±
¡°Damn cheeky rebellious brat¡ I don¡¯t hate it. I was one¡ we all were¡ so, I kinda missed that feeling.¡±
And, while presenting my options, somehow the person himself already lost the will to fight, Bro stood up, hopping on one foot and approached me, and acted really familiar with his arm on my shoulders.
¡°Yeah, ah, get off! That¡¯s why I¡¡±
¡°Hey,e on. First, I¡¯ll treat you to a drink.¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s, listen! I¡¯m still not old enough to drink!¡±
¡°Really? Then we might have you ascend the stairs a little early, yeh.¡±
And Bro, hopping on one leg, dragged me along.
All of a sudden I tried to resist, but for some reason I couldn¡¯t shake it off, so I was taken along.
That¡¯s how I met him, the smoke-stained obscure delinquent, who was unknown to the world, Bro¡ no¡ no¡ it was my encounter with Anek.
Author¡¯s Note
The summer vacation is a little early, and I¡¯m writing part 3 freely, but recently I forgot that this novel is ¡°a fantasy about magic¡± w Especially recently I¡¯ve been reading old delinquentics.
By the way, my favorite delinquent manga ranking is 1st ce: [Cuf ¡ñs] , 2nd ce: [Roku ¡ñ Nonebu ¡ñ Su] , 3rd ce: [B ¡ñ Y] , 4th ce: [Shonan Jun ¡ñ ¡ñ] , 5th ce: [Samra ¡ñ Sol ¡ñ ya]. It¡¯s like this, right?
By the way, when I noticed, there were 2300 impressions. Thank you very much for your feedback. I noticed something strange, saying, ¡°23=Ni-san.¡± Well, that¡¯s why I took the plunge and made it such a tant development.
Chapter 73 – The Scoundrel’s Invitation
Chapter 73 ¨C The Scoundrel¡¯s Invitation
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Oh, Bro¡¯s as good as ever.¡±
¡°Well, I guess. But that kid¡¡ he was really strong, right.¡±
¡°To go toe to toe with Bro. You sure got us beat.¡±
The baguette heads were walking in front of me, talking like that.
Weird. A few minutes after being smeared with blood and shing into each other, why are we already rubbing shoulders?
Besides, I was taken to a bar for the first time in my life.
¡°Hold, just¡¡ hey, wait! The bar is a hangout for punks and old men! I¡¯m not going!¡±
Well, a long time ago, Sadiz raised it as one of the ¡®ces off limits due to its bad influence¡¯.
¡°Huh¡ you look like a badass kid, haven¡¯t you been to a bar before?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I really won¡¯te in!¡±
¡°Kakka, well, just think of this as an educational tour and enjoy it, yeh.¡±
Saying that, Bro took me to a bar in town.
It ispletely different from the stylish ones found in the Imperial City.
A tattered sign, a broken door. Some ces were cracked, the walls were peeling off, the pirs were about to break, and it¡¯s a dirty bar that is about to copse at any moment.
It¡¯s not only the appearance but also the contents were the same.
¡°Uh, uh¡¡±
The moment I entered the store, I suddenly held my mouth down.
The moment we entered, there were empty bottles rolling on the floor, red-faced delinquents lying drunk on tables or the floor, menughing with women sitting beside them, and women with scant clothing making a scene.
In addition, the smell was mixed with the stench of alcohol, tobo, and vomit, wasn¡¯t it?
I¡¯ve never seen such a stinky, filthy space before.
¡°Is that? Bro~, who¡¯s the kid.¡±
¡°Heh~, he looks cheeky, but he¡¯s pretty cute, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°Now that you mentioned it, weren¡¯t you going to fight the Kamikaze Gang Three-Prong star~?¡±
The moment we entered the store, everyone was talking as they came up to me,ughing and raising their voices as if they were all Bro¡¯s friends.
And, of course, the nces were directed at me, who was shoulder to shoulder with Bro.
¡°Oh, this is the kid who was scammed by Date¡. He knocked down the Three-Prong Star, and, well, he fought with me, too. I liked him and brought him along, yeh.¡±
¡°Yes, he broke our jet stream attack,¡±
¡°You had a good fight, did you?¡±
¡°Hey,e on in, buddy. Don¡¯t be nervous.¡±
Bro and the other gave a rough exnation about me. However, even that overly loose exnation wasn¡¯t unusual to these folk who know the man called Bro, as everyone nodded with a smile without any particr retort.
¡°Oh, you mean, a promising neer? Still, isn¡¯t he young?¡±
¡°Hey, nice to meet you. If you have any problems, can you count on me? That¡¯s our rule.¡±
¡°Hmm~, it¡¯s just like Date~¡. Ah, maybe Big Sis will learn something good from this~.¡±
¡°Hey Hey, don¡¯t you wanna eat?¡±
Even though we had a fight, he didn¡¯t care about it and readily epted me.
Somehow, is every one of these guys always broad and don¡¯t care about minor details?
And at the same time, I realized something.
¡°Which reminds me, the streets of the town are full of merchants ¡. and I thought this was a merchant town to begin with and there weren¡¯t many young people here, but¡¡±
Yes, most of the shoppers and street vendors were adults and geezers
However, there were dozens of young people in their teens and twenties gathered in this bar now.
¡°Oh, during the day. We young¡¯unsze about and drink at home or in a bar during the day. At night, it¡¯s apletely different town.¡±
¡°At night¡¡ Then?¡±
¡°Ah. It¡¯s a sleepless night for us, the hoodlums, devouring the legacy left by the adults who ruled this town.¡±
¡°¡What town?¡±
¡°Kakkaka, you see for yourselfter, yeh.¡±
Saying that, while implying something different, Bro pushed his way through the store and naturally sat at the counter seat facing the tavern master.
¡°Here you are, you sit down, too. It¡¯s my treat today.¡±
Saying that, Bro invited me to the counter.
To be honest, I sat down as I was told, even though I was puzzled.
¡°¡¡ I can¡¯t drink alcohol, so orange juice please.¡±
¡°¡±¡±No©`©`©`©`!¡±¡±¡±
¡°Kakkaka, hey. Barkeep, you have my bottle, don¡¯t you? Give it here.¡±
¡°Aiyo¡±
And are they really going to make me drink!?
No, but it¡¯s against thew¡. However, Bro,ughing heartily, took out his cigarette and lit it.
¡°¡¡ Fuh~.¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t smoke next to me!¡±
¡± Eh? Oh, my bad. Want a cigarette? Do you smoke?¡±
¡°Cigarettes and booze! I¡¯m still 15!¡±
Far from drinking, he even offered me a cigarette.
I yelled out that it was ¡°wrong¡±, too.
¡°Oh, he¡¯s such a surprisingly good kid. Brother¡¡ well, are you a young lord?¡±
¡°Nu!?¡±
¡°Raised without any inconvenience, but in the rebellious phase, did you go against your parents and ran from home? Is that the mark?¡±
¡°Nu, no¡.. not¡±
It¡¯s so urate, I¡¯m at a loss for words.
¡°So it¡¯s nothing to do¡ with you, anyway ¡°
¡°Ah. It doesn¡¯t matter. I don¡¯t care, people have their own reasons for being down in the dumps. Including everyone here.¡±
¡°Shut up¡ It¡¯s not that simple¡¡±
¡°Huh¡¡ that right. Well, I¡¯m not going to ask that much, yeh.¡±
I was annoyed and tried to put up a wall, but Bro didn¡¯t push it much or ask me about it.
¡°Rebelled against their parents, got wild due to a poverty stricken home, defied the teachers and took the easy way when they couldn¡¯t keep up with the school. The influence of others. And so on. Every one of them can easily turn someone into a delinquent¡. it¡¯s no use worrying about it all, yeh.¡±
When I heard that, I was surprised.
Me running from home is not unusual, for these guys because they¡¯re delinquent.
That¡¯s why these guys areughing so happily, and Bro¡?
¡°And often the reason for bing a delinquent is just a little curiosity. They say that kids are not allowed to drink or smoke or get sensual.¡±
With that, Bro offered me the cigarette that he had just lit.
However, I refused to smoke that.
¡°So, smoking would be bad for the body it seems. Alcohol, too.¡±
I¡¯m sure you need to be 18 for cigarettes? I¡¯ve heard that if you smoke, your physical strength will drop, or your lungs will get polluted, and that¡¯s not going to do you any good at all.
¡°How, You¡¯ve never even smoked, but you have decided it¡¯s bad for you?¡±
¡°¡Eh?¡±
¡°Fifteen or eighteen are not much different, are they? Or was it published in a paper that if you smoked at 15, your body will definitely get worse?¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°In the first ce, the age limits for smoking and drinking are the standards arbitrarily set by old men who have nothing to do with teens. Why don¡¯t you try it yourself to see if it¡¯s bad for your health, yeh?¡±
Well, if you look at it that way¡ That¡¯s not the point!
¡°I mean, I¡¯m not gonna fall for a scoundrel¡¯s invitation!¡±
¡°Oops.¡±
¡°I, already went through a bitter experience in this town because of that woman! That¡¯s why I won¡¯t smoke or drink!¡±
I refuse to fall for some ¡°why not¡± smooth talk invitation to a bad pastime.
I¡¯ve learned my lesson properly after being tricked by that woman.
¡ºUm, right. Tis good, child. You can easily smoke and drink, but once you get hooked on it, you cannot refuse easily. Tis a detriment to your health.¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar nodded ¡°Uh-hun¡± with his arms crossed.
¡ºEven though, for this Bro to say as much¡ getting overly-familiar wi-¡. ahem, to rmend something that will inhibit the growth of my disciple. Oi, the child is not yet tainted, is he?¡»
Or rather, Tre¡¯ainar is somewhat ¡®exasperated¡¯, but¡¡
¡°Kakkaka, so cold. As your senior in life¡ shouldn¡¯t you listen to this bad pastime master?¡±
¡ºWho is the master! I am the master! What is this halfwit you just met today saying?¡»
Quit it, this Tre¡¯ainar? Stop getting angry and jumping over me. Or rather, Bro can¡¯t hear you. Also, I¡¯m kind of embarrassed¡
¡°But, well, if you don¡¯t feel like going delinquent, it¡¯s not toote for you yet. That¡¯s good.¡±
And, Bro patted my head while holding the cigarette that he offered in his mouth.
¡°People can easily go bad. Step out a little¡. No, just step off. But there is no path ahead. Just a downward spiral. That¡¯s why¡. it¡¯s hard to go from being a delinquent to a normal person.¡±
Thereupon, Bro warned me¡
¡°I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re such a dazzling fighter, but you¡¯re not a worthless piece of shit in the eyes of others, unlike us. You can still be anything you want to be. If you have a ce to go back to, why don¡¯t you go home?¡±
¡°Nu¡¡ Wh, at?¡±
¡°Or else¡ Someday, even if you want to go back, you won¡¯t be able to anymore¡. and you may end up regretting it forever¡ Then, even if you want to go back to your original normal, it¡¯ll be toote, yeh?¡±
It¡¯s like an adult trying to talk a runaway kid out of it¡. no, it¡¯s ¡°exactly¡± what it is, but¡¡
¡°Oh, it¡¯s none of your business. I can be anything? I know. That¡¯s why I left home, to be something.¡±
¡°Hoho~¡¡±
¡°There¡¯s no reason for a hoodlum to meddle.¡±
Even so, I won¡¯t join up with some delinquents, so I pushed past him.
¡°I¡¯m going to leave home, leave the empire, and be a big man!!¡±
¡°So dazzling, aren¡¯t you¡ Well¡¡ You think about it a little more. For now, may we give a toast to the big man of the future?¡±
¡°Tch, you asshole.¡±
With that being said, while clicking my tongue, I vigorously drank the water in the ss I¡¯ve been offered¡. eh?
¡°Ge¡¡ aah!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡ºHold on, child!? Wh-, h, hey, what are you doing?¡»
I just drank it¡¡ ah, it was all over my head and I had a strange smell in the back of my nose, no, it was hot! Somehow, I feel so hot! I mean, is it hot in here?
¡°~Tsupeh, just wha-¡ What the hell was that?¡±
¡°Oh, my bad, actually, I¡¯d given up drinking¡ now, water¡¡±
¡°Shit, seriously! My throat, gaggling, is that water, I¡¯ll have that.¡±
¡°Ah, wait, wait. That¡¯s not water!¡±
Ah, the water tastes awful and the ice is stale. Hot. I see, it¡¯s hot, isn¡¯t it? These clothes are a nuisance, you know.
¡°Ah, hey wait a minute, with one cup¡ aah~, hey, don¡¯t take your clothes off, ah~¡±
¡°¡¡ gulp¡¡ the clothes came off¡¡ my Lord, I may die now¡¡ better tidy up.¡±
¡°Huh? Hey you? Miss¡.. I¡¯ve seen you before.¡±
¡°Errr, I just became a waitress at this store, I¡¯m Shino¡¡ uh, nuh huh¡¡ Kagerou.¡±
¡°Huh, is that right?¡±
¡°Then, let¡¯s have these clothes washed¡ that¡¯s right that¡¯s right¡¡ Hau ~?¡±
¡°Ah, hey, what¡¯s wrong with sis? She looks incredibly happy, but¡¡±
Hmm? I can hear a woman¡¯s voice that sounds vaguely familiar, but no, I¡¯m lightheaded and thirsty¡.
¡ºOi, child! Return your sanity! Put down the ss you are holding and spit out what you drank! Also, the shinobi woman has infiltrated! Oi, child!¡»
What? What is it? You know, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s split into three? That¡¯s great, he¡¯s my master, awesome!
Author¡¯s Note
This story is fiction. It¡¯s a fantasy world. Drinking and smoking by under-aged people, even further rmending and coercing, offering customers without checking their age, stealing the clothes of people who are drunk and took them off, are all illegal. A good child should never imitate these.
* As you pointed out, I made a quick correction because I was misinterpreted about my age.

Tranted by: Sads07
Oh man, my minds gone totally giddy!
¡°Yeah, ah~, home ish tha way! There that¡¯s it!¡±
But I¡¯m feeling kind of aggravated, I wonder.
I feel like I can do anything now.
¡°Aah~¡¡ Good Grief.¡±
¡°Oh, Bro! Whaaat~ you sitting on?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t believe that took just one drink¡ Kakkaka, aren¡¯t you young.¡±
Oh, time to get excited! Or, why is everyone so quiet!
¡°Hey, look! Aren¡¯t you drinking, Bakatini!¡±
Man, then I guess I¡¯ll have to dance!
¡°Oh, hahahaha, it¡¯s like that kid is going to do it!¡±
¡°Boy~, you haven¡¯t taken it all off yet, right~?¡±
¡°Oh yes, Big Sis should take the pants off~!¡±
What? Who will take off my clothes?
Only Sadiz could do that!
¡°Oof, wow¡ Sadiz¡¡±
Yes, Sadiz finally undressed me¡ how old was I?
¡ºOh, Little man, please do a banzai cheer.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºYou¡¯ve made such a mess¡e on, let¡¯s go in. I¡¯ll give it to you a thorough wash and scrub. Okay, Little man?¡»
¡°Ji~¡¡¡±
¡ºOh~, really, Little man! What are you doing to my breasts?¡»
¡°Sadiz¡¯s Boobs¡ have they gotten bigger?¡±
¡º¡¡ Little man¡¡ it¡¯s too soon to be interested in this flesh, right? ¡¡ such, a, little, pervert.¡»
¡°Huh? I, I¡¯m a pervy, kid? That¡¯s no good?¡±
¡ºYes, I don¡¯t like this pervy Little man¡ Ji ~yuru¡¡ droll¡ not yet, not yet, let him be cool me¡ eating now is no good.¡»
¡°You¡¯re wrong! I, I¡¯m not pervy! I¡¯m not pervy!!¡± [1]
That¡¯s right, I¡¯m not pervy, so I was too shy to take a bath with Sadiz anymore. I¡¯m an idiot!
¡°I¡¯m an idiot! I¡¯m not pervy!¡±
¡°¡±¡±What suddenly happened?¡±¡±¡±
Yes, I was pervy. So, I should have admitted it. Then take a bath with Sadiz some more!
Why didn¡¯t I take a closer look at Sadiz¡¯s body at that time?
¡°I¡¯m gonna step my ass off! Hoh~~~¡. Dance like a butterfly!¡±
¡°¡±¡±This guy¡¯s regrettable! ¡¡ But, that body is tight!!¡±¡±¡±
Yes, I dance like a butterfly, and punch beyond like a bee!
¡°Kakkaka, good~, I haven¡¯t seen anyone so wasted in a long time¡ Well, if you wanna charm me, I¡¯ll go along with you as the ringleader.¡±
¡°Hmm? Nah, Bro! You gonna step up to me? My step, is the best in the world, taught by my reliable psycho master, Magical Footwork!¡±
¡ºNu!? ¡¡ ah, re, reliable¡. best in the world¡¡ h, hmph! Th-This drunk¡¡ Tis not what I taught you¡ that said, su, such an impudent surprise attack.¡»
Yes, with the steps drawn from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Magical Footwork, I¡¯ll acquire the world.

¡ºNu!? Ca, Capoeira¡!? Is that why¡¡ as I thought, this one¡¡ by any chance, the Arcane True¡¡ Oi, child! Get your wits about! Things will soon get serious!¡»
Kapokapo? What the, heck¡¡ is it good!?
¡°It¡¯s here! Bro¡¯s Capoeira! It¡¯s like a mix of kick-fighting and dance!¡± [2]
¡°Cool~, Bro! Later, show us how!¡±
¡°Ora, you going down kid!¡±
¡°Come on, bring it on!¡±
Wow, that¡¯s so cool, right? Amazing! He¡¯s got his hands on the floor, his legs are up, his body is spinning, such skills!
¡°And then, from Capoeira¡¡ Arcane True Zenith Swiveling!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±It¡¯s here©`©`©`©`©`!!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±

Awesome! When you think he¡¯s standing upside down, he just copsed and was spinning round and round on the floor with his back? [3]
¡ºNu¡¡ this is¡¡ Magical Break Dance¡¡ keh¡.¡»
So cool!
Even cooler than what Tre¡¯ainar taught me?
¡º¡¡ Unh!? Oi, child¡¡ drunk or not, you must be out of your mind, are you not? ¡¡ What I teach is much cooler! In the first ce, break dancing was originally conceived as a way for me to¡.¡»
¡°You can? I¡¯m pissed, really, pissed off, I am~. Gonna hate stinky trainas if he don show it?¡±
¡º¡¡¡¡¡ what are you saying¡. ah~, tis inevitable. I shall show you the coolest steps! Once in the Demon Realm, my performance dubbed me the King of Pop!¡» [4]
¡°No~?¡±
¡ºAs a dexterous practitioner who has mastered every step, you should be capable!¡»
What? Did you dance to the trainer? Hmm, did you start walking?
¡ºLike so, slide your legs backwards while making forward walking movements, then alternate your feet¡¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºThe Great Demon Back Slide! Tis also called the Moonwalk.¡»
¡°Aw, Awesome! After all, Trina is more cooller! Amazing!¡±
¡ºHaha, right. Tis most stylish!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar stuck out his chest, going, ¡°Right¡±.
But it was really cool. Cool! I can win with this too!
¡°Hey, kid! You muttering to yourself against the wall, what¡¯s up?¡±
¡°Have you epted defeat?¡±
Not good. Well, I¡¯m in the middle of learning now, Shoo!
¡ºCome on, let us give these dimwits a show! It usually takes practice, but you can do it in a minute. You have a better sense of stepping and weight distribution than others.¡»
¡°Huh!¡±
¡ºFirst, ce one foot on your toes and set your center of gravity on it. Quickly slide back the opposite foot¡¡ In that case, do not raise the heel. And then repeat it¡¡»
¡°Huh! Oh, Swish Swish Swish!¡±
Oh, I did it.
¡ºGood, then, spin at high speed! And shout!¡»
¡°Aah!¡±
Oh, ah, the world is spinniiiiiiing!
¡°Oh, ooooh, you, what was that? Hahaha, cool! It¡¯s so cool.¡±
¡°Oh, ooooh, like there¡¯s no gravity, what is that!¡±
¡°Weightless steps!¡± [5]
¡°Ku~, I¡¯m getting turned on! The night is still young, but as a Busty Pole Dancer, I¡¯ll charm you n-¡. that? W-who? Somehow, all of the poles were broken before I noticed!?¡±
¡°As expected, that¡¯s my honey! Beyond dreamy. What are you doing, making me fall for you even more? As I recall, it¡¯s not a crime for a woman to be the vitor¡¡± [6]
A pleasant cheer. Ah, everyone¡¯s looking at me. It¡¯s getting hotter.
¡°Kakkaka¡¡ see here, I¡¯m done¡¡. my hurt knee is already at its limit¡ it seems, that cool dance is your victory!¡±
¡°Hi! Banzai!¡±
He said what? He said he gave up! Tre¡¯ainar and I win!
¡°Ah, B, Bro lost!¡±
¡°Damn, but don¡¯t worry about losing the dance Bro!¡±
¡°I hear that, he¡¯s the weakest dancer in the gang!¡±
However, even though Bro admitted defeat, the baguette heads came out again.
Are these guys going to challenge me?
¡°Let¡¯s go, how about a Vulgar Dance!¡±
¡°Wha?¡±
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go!¡±
Aah, baguette heads undressed just like me.
Nude, plop, nude!
But I don¡¯t care for male nudity!
¡°Kya! It¡¯s that guy!¡±
¡°Oh man, it¡¯s been a while since we¡¯ve seen ¡®that¡¯!¡±
¡°Aah! It¡¯s Yokatin!¡±
What the hell? Huh? The baguette head puts the bottle between their legs¡ umm, then I¡¯m going to take my pants off too!
¡°Oh, aaah, you¡¯ve got guts!¡±
¡°Kyaaah, he took it off too! I¡¯m dooone, good job!¡±
¡°Kya-so~ cute~! Fufu, cover that¡¡±
¡°Kakkakka¡ Oooh~¡¡±
¡ºBu!? Oi, child, what are you doing? Tis dangling about the bar!!¡»
¡°Cho, darling! Hah~ Hah~ Hah~ Hah~ Hah~ Hah~ Hah~! Me, be cool! Calm down, and burn it into your mind, imagine the shape, size, and even the size of the expansion! For the sake of the simtion!¡±
Of course, I¡¯m not going to lose to these guys.
No way will I back down!
I also picked up a fallen empty bottle, and plop it between my legs and¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ha~ oh yeah~ Yokati~ tin~!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
That? Oh no, I put my son on disy¡. the only other time was with Sadiz and Tre¡¯ainar.
But for the first time¡
I¡¯ve never had so much fun in my life¡.
¡°Hey, is Bro here~? What¡¯s this~? A lot of excitement in the air today, huh? There¡¯s still time before the ¡®auction¡¯ starts¡.¡±
¡°Oh, you¡¯re here, too? By chance, we met an amusing chap today.¡±
¡°Not how he looks¡¡±
¡°Ah. Runaway youngsters, right?¡±
That? What~? Some new guys came again. Fine, everyst one of you, I¡¯ll take you on!
¡°Hmm~¡ oh yeah, speaking of runaways, a merchant from the Imperial City was asking¡¡±
¡°Eh? Imperial City?¡±
¡°Why, there¡¯s an uproar in the Imperial City, the son of the hero ran away from home, right?¡±
¡°What¡?¡±
¡°Well, the son of that hero, Hiro and the hero Mamu¡ the parents are doing some sort of search, but still can¡¯t seem to find him, so it looks like hero Mamu will be here in person soon, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hoh¡±
¡°They say that, perhaps, a son of the hero may be in this town, so if you find and protect him, you might get a reward, right?¡±
¡°Hmm~¡¡±
¡°That naked dancing kid¡¡ I wonder. The son of a hero, I think, is not a brute that grew up to be such a coarse, ill-bred brat, but a clever, refined, well-dressed noble son.¡±
Nu? Is the new guy just sitting at the counter and chatting with Bro? Well, if you¡¯re not going to fight, I¡¯ll just dance!
¡°The son of the hero¡ Huh¡¡¡ is that so¡. I see¡. I shouldn¡¯t tell ¡®Master¡¯.¡±
¡°Bro?¡±
¡°Unfortunately, I don¡¯t know ¡°the son of the hero¡±¡. don¡¯t know and haven¡¯t seen him¡. all I found was the new buddy, yeh.¡±
Come on, I¡¯m still here!
[S1] Okay! It was cute before but seriously, how old was he here? Sadiz was about to eat him up¡

Chapter 75 – Self-Loathing
Chapter 75 ¨C Self-Loathing
Tranted by: Sads07
I¡¯ve often heard adults say, ¡°I was drunk and I don¡¯t remember¡±.
I always thought it was a lie.
In general, I did not believe that alcohol had any memory-erasing effect.
I thought that it was only a ¡®pretext¡¯ to say such a thing, and I couldn¡¯t possibly not remember it.
And when I woke up, and thought to myself, ¡°What did I do?¡±.
I remembered exactly what I did. With great rity.
That¡¯s why I woke up and stayed calm while holding my aching head down, then my face immediately turned pale.
¡°Oh, I, f-feel like I was doing something terrible. Ugh, aaaaahhhh! What the hell, me! Yokatin! Moronic imbecile, stupid, idiot!¡±
When I woke up, I was in a strange room.
Or rather, in a rather dirty room, there is only a bed in a simple room.
On that strange bed I¡¯m writhing in agony.
¡°What¡¯s more, and... I¡¯m naked!?¡±
I turned over the sheets to feel a somewhat cool sensation of the passing air, and I waspletely naked, not even wearing pants.
¡ºYour clothes are over there.¡»
¡°Oh, Tre¡¯ainar!?¡±
¡ºThis is the second floor of the bar. A sort of rest room, you copsed after making a scene, and were carried here to sleep it off for a few hours.¡»
When he suddenly called out to me, I looked back, startled at the sound, and saw Tre¡¯ainar, with a look of disgust, his arms folded, by the window of the room.
And, as Tre¡¯ainar said, my clothes were neatly folded.
¡°Oh, I... took off my clothes.¡±
¡ºBe grateful for that woman... she washed your clothes by hand during the day, dried them outside.¡»
¡°That woman...? Eh?!¡±
And the next moment, I was suddenly wide awake.
Why, there was an ¡°Exchange Diary¡± next to my clothes, which were neatly folded.
¡°Well, no way...¡±
¡ºTis the Shinobi woman.¡»
¡°Why?! Eh? Because, we separated from Shinobu...... No, I got rice balls in the mountains!¡±
No way, Shinobu.
Did Shinobu wash the clothes that I took off while drunk?!
¡ºOr rather, you may not have noticed due to intoxication, but...... that woman...... she infiltrated the bar, did she not?¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºShe changed her name, her attire, and even changed her manner of makeup and dressed in a waitress uniform with an apron on.... well, at first nce you could tell.¡»
Shinobu... In the bar...... What? That means......
¡ºOf course, that woman saw it, did she not? Your... nudity.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
I was seen. Ah, my thing, my son.... oh, to a woman of the same age....
¡°Ah! I could die!!¡±
¡ºMy goodness...... you should ban alcohol from now on. Witnessing your antics was terrifying....¡»
¡°Uugh...... and, it was seen...... meaning...... that, my manhood was....¡±
Oh no.... with Sadiz, that¡¯s all there was to it, but... I was seen naked by a woman of the same age...... Until recently, the only ones who saw me naked were Sadiz and Tre¡¯ainar.... Now, I want to go back to the past......
¡°And at the same age...... that was seen by a girl of the same age.... for the first time since I took a bath with the princess....¡±
¡ºOi, do not be depressed forever... rather, you, even though you were a child, with that princess...¡»
Damn. The mental damage is severe.
I can¡¯t look Shinobu in the face for a while.
And also, this Exchange Diary....
¡°I just wrote a reply, but I didn¡¯t think it would be returned anymore... I mean, didn¡¯t she go home with her brother and friends? No way, does she want to keep this exchange of diaries going?¡±
Or rather, you¡¯re following me...?
It¡¯s getting a little colder, but when I casually turned over the diary, and on a new page....
¡°Uuuurgh!¡±
On the left and right pages of the notebook, the words were written inrge letters.
It was scary, so I closed it immediately.
¡°Oh, why are you asking about Sadiz...?¡±
¡ºI suppose she heard you speak of that maid in your drunken stupor.¡»
¡°Come on, seriously... aah, scary...¡±
No, I had nothing to feel guilty about. But I was scared.
¡ºFor the time being, you must wake up and consider the future.¡»
¡°...... From now on? No way... You mean Shinobu?¡±
¡ºNo, not that. Even though we arrived at the town with great pains, you squandered almost the entire day at that banquet.¡»
¡°Ah...... Well, no, I slept for a few hours...¡±
¡ºTis already night.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
What a hell. I wanted to think about shopping during the day, and what to do for money from now on, but I wasted my time with all this other stuff...
¡°Oh, then, what about... Bro and the others?¡±
¡ºI left the store after they carried you here. Apparently, they work at night.¡»
¡°At night...¡±
That reminds me.
No, the young peopleze about in the daytime and go out into the city at night.
Somehow, this merchant town will transform at night.
¡ºAnd..... this town at night may be worth your attention.¡»
¡°Eh? Why......?¡±
¡ºI took a view out of the window, but... tis a different bustle than daytime, is it not?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar standing by the windowughed, and I anxiously looked outside.
It was surprising.
¡°Oh, aah? Huh? Eh?¡±
It¡¯s night, but it wasn¡¯t dark. Streetlights lit by fire lined the streets, and an aristocratic troupe, dressed up in the street, went hither and thither in ¡°queer masks¡±.
Various butterflies, crescent-shaped faces, and so on... Is it a masquerade? No, they¡¯re ying incognito?
What¡¯s more, other young people who have their true faces exposed...... people dressed in the same Kamikaze Gang clothes as Bro and others, walked around the town as if they were guards.
¡°What... the heck......?¡±
¡ºI overheard a brief conversation at the bar during the day.... The word ¡®Auction¡¯...... was mentioned.¡»
¡°Auction?¡±
An auction at Cantidan? Well, it wouldn¡¯t be strange to hear that, but...... still......
¡ºPerhaps tis not merely an auction. Well, as the wealthy seem to be hiding their faces...... I can imagine...¡»
¡°What the hell is that... What kind of auction is it?¡±
¡º...... Still within the realm of possibility. You will never know unless you actually go out into town.¡»
It sounded like he was saying ¡°See with your own eyes¡± even though what Tre¡¯ainar said made it sound like he understood the general circumstances.
¡ºIn the daytime, the mafia had been destroyed, and now the town seems to be run by the hoodlum in the daytime ... but they do not live in a haze. They must have means for an ie... That is the night of this town. I fear tis likely, they might have coalition with the mafia, to offer assistance as it is.... Well, even so...¡»
¡°You want me to see it in person and find out?¡±
¡ºHuh, I suppose.¡»
I just woke up and my head hurts a little, but I still cannot afford to rest in my room until morning.
I¡¯ve slept quite a while, so I¡¯m not sleepy at all....
¡°Hah~, right. Let¡¯s just take a quick look around the town, shall we? What is the difference between day and night...?¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar said, let¡¯s go out and see with our own eyes.
I put on my folded clothes and prepare to go out.
And then......
¡ºBut when you go out...... you may want to be a little careful... you walk with your true face exposed.¡»
¡°Heh?¡±
¡ºPerhaps not only local nobles are out there, but also citizens of the Imperial Capital. Some may know your face.¡»
¡°Ah...... I see...¡±
¡ºThat would be much too inconvenient, would it not? Should you go out, you ought to conceal your face as well.¡»
I didn¡¯t like it. Certainly, it¡¯s a hassle.
There¡¯s something beneficial...... With that in mind, when I reached for my pants...... What?
¡°What? This...... isn¡¯t the pants I wore.... They¡¯re new.¡±
The clothes were mine, but only the pants were changed to new ones. Why?
¡ºAs they were battered from overuse, the shinobi woman bought a new pair and discarded the old ones.¡»
¡°Oh, yeah.... Hmm...... my bad. Not only rice balls, but also new pants...... I¡¯m just being taken care of, I¡¯d better give her something....¡±
¡ºNo, it should be fine... I believe she was satisfied enough with the ¡®reward¡¯, but...... Well, you need not mind it.¡»
¡°What?¡±
Tilting my head at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s grave words, I went outside, wearing clothes that had been washed.
Chapter 76 – Mysterious White Elder
Chapter 76 ¨C Mysterious White Elder
Tranted by: Sads07
¡º...... The vulgar air tainted with greed and avarice.... cannot be hidden behind a mask.... the fortunate born into prestigious families, never to strive for anything, fattened pigs....¡»
People in expensive clothing, wearing masks thither along the streets.
Everyone, as if dressed for a castle ball, was heading in the same direction.
¡°But there are quite a lot of them... Moreover, looking at the clothes, it might not just be the Imperial City.... some great families...... Japone¡¯s Kimono...... attire from the Kingdom of Uragile...... Maybe they¡¯re alsoing from countries in the vicinity of the Empire...¡±
The central street of Cantidan, which was filled with street vendors and merchants during the day, is now filled with hundreds more people who are considered to be noblemen, creeping around.
Around them, the Kamikaze Gang were sharp eyed and vignt... what...... the hell?
¡ºFollow them...¡»
¡°Yeah.¡±
For that reason, I also hid my face.
Fortunately, merchants on the street were selling masks, sses, and other items that can hide one¡¯s face, perhaps ¡®for those who have forgotten their masks¡¯.
Such amercial soul, I was impressed.
So, while there were a lot of designs with bad tastes, I found the one that was decent.
It¡¯s a pair of sses that workers use to protect their eyes at coal mines and mining sites......they¡¯re called ¡®goggles¡¯.
Red frames and bands with yellow sses. I thought they looked cool, and I bought them though at 10,000, it was a bit expensive.
Now only I have 20,000 in my possession.... Well...... Let¡¯s really think seriously about money.
¡°Anyway, let¡¯s check out this town right now.¡±
For now, I¡¯ll check first to see what catches my interest. I put on my goggles and made my way into the flow of the nobility.
¡°Hey, dear...... are you sure? How many times have you participated in such events.... Moreover, it is an event organized by such lowly thugs...¡±
¡°Gufufu, there¡¯s no need to worry. All events in this town are backtracked by Minister Chitsue, it¡¯s safe.¡±
¡°But...... before, proper adults were in charge of all the security and event management... Is that all right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. Rather, it would be more troublesome if the mafia were to be involved, such as being coerced or extortedter on by holding something over you, so it would be a trifle matter for these brats to be cut off at any time.¡±
The noble couple who were by the side was having such a conversation as I also joined in following the flow of the surroundings.
Event...... you mean the auction?
Anyway......
¡°Minister Chitsue...... is he also involved...¡±
He¡¯s been involved in politics in the Imperial Capital since the old days, and I¡¯ve been greeted several times at parties since I was a kid.
Well, although he seemed to be smiling on the surface, I¡¯ve always thought he was somewhat fishy....
¡°What I¡¯m worried about is, you know... about this town. You told me, didn¡¯t you? Lord Hiro doesn¡¯t think well of it... said he destroyed that organization....¡±
¡°Hmm, but it¡¯s not a problem today. See, Hiro...... is looking for that second-rate son of his who ran away from home and has abandoned his duties!¡±
...... I wasn¡¯t listening to them, but I just heard such a conversation.
And, when the conversation of the two noble couples touched the topic, the nobles around also reacted.
¡°Oh, I¡¯ve been meaning to ask you that too. As I recall, there was a problem with the Imperial City Academy student¡¯s mock battle.¡±
¡°What I hear, that dunce son of his threw mud on the face of the hero in front of arge crowd and ran away from home...¡±
¡°Fufu. Even though he defeated the Great Demon King, unlike our noble bloodline, he has the blood of a vulgarmoner, after all.¡±
¡°Mamu was originally the same, wasn¡¯t she? Both parents were originallymoners, so their child was born amoner as well. It¡¯s no wonder they¡¯re such failures.¡±
¡°And then, the fallen son ran away from home, and they abandoned their duty to the country and prioritized their personal affairs.... this might lead to deprivation of their authority.¡±
¡°The Imperial Knights were so intrusive in their politics.... I wondered what I would do when he tried to crush this ce for our escapism.¡±
¡°Yes, we are still secure, aren¡¯t we? Hiro and Mamu will lose their authority and Minister Chitsue will prosper after that.¡±
And..... what is it...... ah...... can I hit you?
¡ºCease, child.¡»
¡°Eh...... But...¡±
¡ºNheless.¡»
They don¡¯t know anything about me, and yet they can say all they want beside me.
I was ready to do something about these pigs and old farts.
But Tre¡¯ainar won me over.
¡ºYou are no hooligan...... Tis not even a fight nor a quarrel, you simply got upset, so you hit him... my lessons to you are not to have you swing such cheap fists.¡»
¡°Well...... But......¡±
¡ºYour value is diminished...... Now, dare to ept this assessment and swallow it....¡»
The fallen foolish son who ran away from the Imperial City after throwing mud on his parents¡¯ faces.... That¡¯s Earth Lagann now.
That¡¯s the extent of the value I was given after so much training with Tre¡¯ainar.
Bullshit....
¡°Hohohohohoh... quite a young participant, aren¡¯t you? Have you joined in the event before?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Then I looked back in a panic.
I didn¡¯t expect to be osted, so I was surprised and looked back, and there was a white-haired old man, although he was wearing a butterfly mask.
He wore a Japone-style kimono, carrying a cane with him, and had a kind smile on his mouth.
¡°Oh, uh, no, I¡¯m...¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. This one will participate for the first time today... ¡®Mitsu¨¥mon¡¯ they call it.¡±
If I talk badly, it will be troublesome, so let¡¯s exchange only a few words and go somewhere quickly.... I thought......
¡°Ah... um... yeah, that, I...¡±
¡°Hoho, no, I¡¯m sorry. It was my first time at such a social event, but it was hard to talk to other aristocrats, so I couldn¡¯t resist talking to you.¡±
Saying that, he smiled gently again, and even though he was a participant in this procession, the air seemed to be quite different from that of the others.
The eyes that appear behind the mask are different from those that are painted with greed.
¡ºHmm......?¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar looked at the old man and reacted.
¡ºThis White Elder...... Somewhere......?¡»
Do you know who he is, Tre¡¯ainar? This isn¡¯t just any old man, right?
But certainly, the aura around him, it¡¯s hard to describe... despite being a small elderly man, it¡¯s somewhat warm and inviting, yet grand and imposing... to say it aptly... it weighed with experience...
¡°Elder...... who are you?¡±
¡°It is unwise to confirm each other¡¯s identity in a ce like this, isn¡¯t it? That¡¯s what I¡¯d like to say.... I¡¯m no one suspicious... just a crepe wholesaler from Japone.¡±
Crepe......? What is that?
¡°But you... is this your first time? You don¡¯t seem to be used to it... the shining eyes behind those goggles...... feels good.¡±
Saying that, the Old man looked at my face.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, you don¡¯t want to hear that from a strange old man, do you? I¡¯m afraid at this age...... I don¡¯t have much chance to talk with the brilliant young children of the new age.... the ones who shine brighter than ever before and I can¡¯t help but be bothered by it.¡±
¡°Elder...¡±
¡°Young ones in this town... I don¡¯t think they¡¯re rotten, but... the look in their eyes was a little sad because they were resigned... not you. There is still purity and you¡¯re lost. The fact that you¡¯re lost means that you¡¯re trying to find your way... you can be anything from now on.¡±
After Bro, I didn¡¯t expect someone I had just met topliment me to my face, it was embarrassing.
That phrase ¡®I can be anything¡¯ got me fired up.
¡°But such a young man...... why are you here? You don¡¯t seem to be interested, but...¡±
Why is it, I wonder?
Due to the matter with the woman that day, I¡¯m aware that my ¡®eye for people¡¯ is not great.
¡°Elder...... I¡¯m not from this town.... I simply...... wanted to know what¡¯s going on here... I..... I have no idea what I¡¯m doing here.... I heard about the auction, but...¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°So, I don¡¯t know.... all I have to do is jump in and see.... I was wondering if I could find a way in somehow.¡±
I wonder why. It¡¯s not about trusting this Old man or anything like that.... I didn¡¯t tell a lie for some reason.... I was talking honestly......
¡°This is strange... if you¡¯re not a child of this town... if you don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing, why are you interested?¡±
Why? That¡¯s it. In the first ce, I have nothing to do with what¡¯s going on in this town.
The purpose in this town was to stop by during the journey and think about shopping and doing something about money.
So I¡¯d rather not get into any trouble by going even deeper.
Then why?
Because Tre¡¯ainar said to?
No, not only that, but I myself am interested in this gathering now.
No matter how you think about it, this event doesn¡¯t seem to be respectable.
Well, I can imagine that it¡¯s an illegal auction, but I have no reason to interfere with it.
But I¡¯m here now.
That is......
¡°My friends are involved... so I want to know.¡±
That remark came out naturally somehow.
Friends? With who? Bro? We had a little fight, we drank, we danced, we frolicked, weughed.... That¡¯s what friends are for....
¡°Hoho...... I see... However, even if you get in line, eventually you¡¯ll be checked at the entrance and have to pay an advance, right?¡±
¡°Uuugh...... Really?¡±
¡°Hufufun, so... very well. Would you be this one¡¯s attendant, and together join in as well?¡±
¡°Huh, errrr?¡±
Even though I was confused by my own words, the Old man, who I had never met before,ughed and said that with conviction and a good mood.
No, I¡¯d appreciate it if you could let me in, but...
¡°O-Inkyo! Come he¡¯s this way?¡±
Just then, cutting through the crowd in the opposite direction, two men with masks on their face made their way towards us.
Are they referring to this Old man?
But...... hmmm?
¡°O-Inkyo...... I¡¯d appreciate it if you¡¯d stop moving about as you please.¡±
¡°You had us all worried, didn¡¯t you?¡±
These two...... the two men who appeared. They were wearing kimonos peculiar to Japone, but.... their appearance and the air around them...... I don¡¯t know.... These two.
¡°Hoho, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Not at all....... Well, in any case I¡¯d like to make a report.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°A moment ago, I just caught a glimpse, but... it¡¯s that...... mumble mumble, the Stoke family...... daughter, Shinobu, mumble mumble.¡±
¡°What!? Why is she in this town? ...... No way, any other...... the brothers, too?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know. But just in case, O-Inkyo don¡¯t leave our side.¡±
And the man was talking to the Old man ear-to-ear, and he looked a little surprised.
What¡¯s going on?
And.....
¡°By the way, Go-Inkyo. Who is this young man?¡±
Another man looked at me and asked the Old man.
Then, the Old man......
¡°Hohoho. That¡¯s right ¡®Ashisotu-san¡¯, ¡®Kesu-san¡¯. When we enter, this child will also join us as mypanion.¡±
¡°¡±...Eh??¡±
Saying so, he smiled.
Chapter 77 – Underground
Chapter 77 ¨C Underground
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Uooooh! Diligently, abide by the rules once youe in! No stepping out of line or going in without permission!¡±
¡°Once you¡¯re checked at the entrance you may then go in!¡±
Hearing the cries of the hoodlums shouting loudly, the procession of the nobility finally reached the depths of the town.
¡°Hmph, these delinquents, lower thanmoners, quite noisy...¡±
¡°Well, they¡¯re monkeys who barely know how to speak, but we should avoid getting into trouble for making them mad, so don¡¯t worry about it.¡±
¡°Oh yes, idiots don¡¯t know what to do when they¡¯re in a foul mood.¡±
At the far end of the city is a run-down building, and hoodlums lightly checked the nobles at the entrance.
¡°Wee...... I¡¯ve confirmed the invitation. There is no problem, please go inside.¡±
¡°Oh, thank you very much.¡±
As for me, I was with the old man, and I had no particr problem.
For a moment, the hoodlums seem to have an eye on me, but they didn¡¯t particrly pursue the matter, as if the letter of introduction they got was from a big shot.
¡°Thank you, Elder... Who are you, really?¡±
¡°Hoho, I¡¯m just a crepe wholesaler.¡±
The old manughed as he said so. If he doesn¡¯t show his bottom, you won¡¯t easily be able to reveal his true identity.
Well, hiding our true identity is a mutual matter.
As soon as the check waspleted and we went inside, there was a staircase leading directly underground.
As I went down the dim stairs, I heard a sort of cheer from out of nowhere.
¡°Even if it¡¯s underground... it¡¯s so deep...... and the voices......¡±
¡°Well, it looks like it¡¯s going to be exciting.¡±
¡°Huh, it¡¯s a mysterious underground space that you check in at the entrance to enter... it¡¯s suspicious... Well?¡±
There must be something underneath, something spiraling with desire.
Will there be a devil or a snake?
In order to see the answer, atst I opened the door of the lowest floor, and all of a sudden a ze of heat and intense light struck me.
¡°Whoa...... this is¡±
Apletely different world that extends underground.
Arge crowd gathered in the huge underground square, and excitement was everywhere.
¡°Yeah!¡±
¡°Ha-ha! A lot of it today! All right, miss, chip!¡±
¡°Right ?, where would you like the chip? The bottom? Or the chest?¡±
¡°Ku, here! I¡¯ll put it in here! I¡¯ll put it in!¡±
¡°Oh, dear, sir, I can¡¯t do that!¡±
¡°Tit-tays! I want to buy a woman! Otherwise, we¡¯re going to war!¡±
¡°No~¡±
At one corner of the open space, all kinds of dishes are arranged in a self- serving buffet, and the hoodlums served drinks to entertain the nobles.
There is a pole hanging from the ceiling on the table where the meals are served, and many sexy women are dancing while exposing their skin.
Men, with their nostrils stretched out, held fists full of gold, inserted money into women¡¯s underwear and cleavage, touched their breasts and butts in the turmoil, and the womenughed with a friendly grin.
¡°Open...¡±
¡°Dah, shit, we lost!¡±
¡°Me too! No more cards! Let¡¯s y roulette.¡±
¡°Hey, I¡¯ll double it and give it back to you! Lend me some money!¡±
In addition, in one corner, the hoodlums became dealers, ying card games and roulette.... and most notably....
¡°All right, I¡¯ll bet on the demon wolf!¡±
¡°You ah! I¡¯m going with the bug!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go! Take him down! Take him down! Take him down!¡±
¡°Hey, what are you doing? I bet a lot of money on you!¡±
A huge iron cage in the center. And trapped in it, fighting...... beasts?
¡°Woooooooooooo!¡±
¡°Graaaaaaaagh¡±
Two beasts stained with blood from each other, collided violently and their blood sshed.
¡°That¡¯s it! Bite!¡±
¡°Behind you! Knock him down with your club!¡±
¡°Crap, what¡¯s the matter with you? Look, there, go!¡±
The nobles, with a look of delight, cried out with excitement.
¡°This is...¡±
¡°I see...... This...... is a gambling house¡¯s specialty... fighting beasts, Duel Monster.¡±
As I was standing there, stunned by the atmosphere of the underground space, the Old man, who was next to me, whispered.
¡°Duel?¡±
¡°Um. They put on a show that makes beasts fight, and bet on who would win.... that¡¯s the way it is.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
The wolf was being tossed about, at the mercy of the demon insect¡¯s attacks and swift movements.
¡°After the war...... the beasts that were stuck on the surface were captured and used to make money.... originally an idea of the Bockmati Family.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°In those days, it seems even highly intelligent demons who understood humannguage... Ogres, Fiends, Cyclops, and so on, were forced to fight.... but they are using beasts now?¡±
Capture demons...... making money?
¡°So, but isn¡¯t that illegal? Betting with demons...¡±
¡°Highly intelligent demons who understood humannguage...... it came to be prohibited by the treaty with the Demon Realm. However, even among the demons, if they don¡¯t speak humannguage.... they are treated the same as animals, not humans... because they may attack humans, they get killed or captured in defense. Therefore, against beasts, it is not yet legally ¡®forbidden¡¯.¡±
¡°That¡¯s...I don¡¯t know...¡±
¡°Hohoho, would you use a cow, a horse, or a dog to make a spectacle? Something simr...... that¡¯s the oue.¡±
The mafia that was in charge of this was crushed. But here it continues.
¡°It¡¯s a secret gambling house, but... still, it¡¯s not against thew.... a gray area...... That¡¯s why even if there¡¯s an investigation by the Imperial Knights and so on, there¡¯s no particr reproach.¡±
In the form that Bro and others took over...... and as I heard earlier, the upper echelon of the Empire are involved, like Minister Chitsue.... Where¡¯s father? Does he know? His Majesty?
¡º...... Huh...... Well, even in the Demon Realm, there are such spectacles using Beasts, such as demon fighting dogs and magic bullfights, and tis something that Magic Beast Protection Groups often made a fuss about....¡»
I nced at Tre¡¯ainar. With a cold, but somewhat sad expression, he gazed at the monsters fighting in the cage.
It gave me mixed feelings.
Then, the words that Tre¡¯ainar told me the other day were ovepped by the Old man¡¯s words, ¡°Demons that do not speak humannguage are treated the same as animals.¡±
¡°...I see...In other words, this is where the aristocracy gather... A gambling house...¡±
¡°Um, the Mafia had been eradicated... but a part of the Empire¡¯s upper ss secretly handed the reins over to the Hoodlums... Well, there are various reasons why it was handed over to the Hoodlums......¡±
¡°Really......¡±
¡°But, as youth gangs, who used to earn money by violence, pick-pocketing and spying on the streets, was rampant.... the seed of delinquency has found a source for their livelihood.¡±
Sure, I was a little surprised, but I could imagine to some extent that ¡®Well, there would be something like this¡¯, so while I felt ufortable in various ways, I wasn¡¯t too upset.
But there was one thing that bothered me.
¡°Is that it? But then... what about the ¡®auction¡¯?¡±
Yes, originally I was told that there was an ¡®auction¡¯.
So, I thought it was an auction that dealt with illegal items that couldn¡¯t be handled very often.
Above all, this is a merchant town.
But if it¡¯s just a gambling house.......
¡°There is. The auction. Because...... it should be the main attraction. And it is for the merchants.¡±
Then, the Old man went from a gentle expression and looked over the hall with strong and severe eyes.
¡°Do you... know of horse racing?¡±
¡°Eh? Horse racing? That¡¯s a race between horses, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Um, yes... so do you know, then, that betting is usually done at the horse race?¡±
¡°Well, of course...¡±
All of a sudden? I thought, but I nodded.
That¡¯smon sense.
The reason is that in the Imperial Capital, military horses were used as racehorses topete for the fastest and to race.
And, it was natural to bet on which horse would take first ce, too.
Well, I couldn¡¯t bet due to age restrictions, I wasn¡¯t allowed to go to the racetrack because of Sadiz¡¯s education.... but why would you ask me that?
¡°Those who have money very soon... will no longer bet on horse racing. They will be the owners of the horses and run their horse to win the race.... that¡¯s the way it is.¡±
¡°...Eh? Oh...Certainly.¡±
That was what the Old man said.
In fact, some of the noblemen I¡¯m acquainted with also buy horses to put them in races.
And since horses are expensive, they are bought as hobbies and entertainment for those who can afford them.
¡°That¡¯s what an auction is all about...¡±
At that moment, I was surprised at the Old man¡¯s words.
Oh I see... auctions......
¡°Hey...... Well, again...¡±
Well, as the Old man said, it¡¯s normal to buy racehorses at auction.
Therefore, this might not be unusual either.
It¡¯s subtle to me right now, but......
¡°Are the hoodlum¡¯s making money by doing that...¡±
He involuntarily made a bitter smile. It was then.
¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡±
There was a noble pig struggling at a table, as a delinquent held him by the chest.
The delinquent, wearing the clothes of the Kamikaze Gang, struck while the surroundings suddenly began to stir.
¡°Hey, Sir... a little touch might be a woman¡¯s service, but as you were told at first, buying a body, forcibly attacking, or any other act thedy dislikes is a vition of the rules?¡±
The woman who was dancing on the pole was protected by the delinquent as she held her disheveled clothes together.
Apparently, the customer who was not able to endure the woman¡¯s sex appeal was restrained when he tried to violently take the woman by force.
¡°What is it? That¡¯s what was usually epted before! I¡¯m paying a lot of money! You scum, you won¡¯t- ugh, hi arg, na, let go of my hands!¡±
The noble was trying to open up andin. However, the delinquent was furious, showing an angry face.
¡°Don¡¯t think money can get you everything in the world! Even if the previous fucking mafia allowed it, on our watch it is unforgivable. Those who y by the rules and have fun in our town are our customers! All the people who show off their money, break the rules and pollute our town are enemies! That¡¯s our way! The Kamikaze Gang!¡±
The Delinquent talked with full confidence.
Looking at the figure, the Old man whispered.
¡°Against the rules... as if there really are any...... I don¡¯t know if they¡¯re just being used by adults without realizing it, but.... either way, we have to figure it out.¡±
While drifting something meaningful......
¡°...... Ashisotu-san...... Kesu-san...... while you can ... get the list of names... Merchants from Japone...... whether the Daimyo are involved or not, gather information...... I¡¯ll see if they really don¡¯t vite thew.¡±
¡°By Your Will¡±
¡°Even if the youth are in charge of the table, it is always adults who are standing behind them. That¡¯s why we really have to find out.¡±
In a whisper, the Old man whispered, and the two men behind him disappeared in an instant.
¡°Elder...... are you...... perhaps...¡±
¡°Hohoho...... well now? But whatever you find out, don¡¯t tell anyone, okay?¡±
I thought from the Old man¡¯s appearance that he wasn¡¯t just a merchant, but...... before I heard anything, The Old manughed again and made a deflection.
Then he pped me on the back.
¡°Well, that was rather harsh to watch... shall we sit down while we eat?¡±
Maybe the Old man suggested it out of concern for me.
But I...
¡°A little more... I¡¯ll take a look around....¡±
¡°Oh? Oh I see?¡±
Yes, I thought I¡¯d take a closer look.
¡°It¡¯s a littleplicated, but... well, unlike the mafia, if what you¡¯re doing is illegal...... I don¡¯t know what to say to Bro and others, and I don¡¯t have that kind of consensus...¡±
The nobles here. The guys who are working. The monsters that are fighting.
And.....
¡°...... Are you all right?¡±
¡ºHuh, child. A moment ago, who were you looking out for??¡»
The mostplicated thing about the situation is Tre¡¯ainar. I didn¡¯t show it on my face, I smiled and made it look like it¡¯s not a problem.
¡°I don¡¯t mind, okay? ...... I¡¯m here... you can say what you really think¡±
¡ºA thousand years too early.¡»
¡°Good Grief, so stubborn...¡±
I wanted you to say my real intention a little because I did not understand his words to me, but Tre¡¯ainarughed through his nose.

Chapter 78 – Where Hoodlum’s Belong
Chapter 78 ¨C Where Hoodlum¡¯s Belong
Tranted by: Sads07
What I imagined delinquents being like. They¡¯re ouws who go againstmon sense and rules.
As an honor student, it was the image of the person who was the exact opposite of me.
In that sense, there were no delinquents among the students in the academy.
However, the delinquent I saw in this town may be a little different from that image.
At least they are not ouws.
They set their own rules and adhere to them in their own way.
So, their own set ofws? If that¡¯s the case, I try not to break them.
And I don¡¯t know if I have any affection for my hometown, but I wouldn¡¯t allow any entity to taint it.
Somehow, I felt that way.
¡°¡¡ Hey¡ Tre¡¯ainar. What do you think a hoodlum is? Were they in the Demon Realm too?¡±
Something I don¡¯t really understand. Involuntarily, I asked Tre¡¯ainar the question.
¡°Tis not something to think so deeply about¡¡ quite simply, they are garbage.¡±
¡°Oh, oh¡¡ that¡¯s clear.¡±
¡°No matter how glorifying they may seem, after all, hoodlums get frustrated as soon as things do not conform to their ideals, and can only express their feelings on the impulse of violence¡. hundreds are harmed and no profit¡. such lower ss creatures.¡±
He affirmed with harsh words. Come to think of it, Bro himself said so as well.
The scum, trash and hopelessly reckless fellows of the world. That¡¯s the hoodlums.
¡°Moreover¡ such a way of life cannot be sustained indefinitely. Humans and demons have to eat. In order to do that, they need money, and the only way to get it is to work properly. If they are unable, they will join the mafia, ormit crimes like thieves and pirates. In any case, tis not possible to stay a hoodlum forever. However¡¡¡±
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar looked around with some thought.
The hoodlums working in this gambling house. Everyone was excited as if they were working with a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
¡°In this town, delinquents can work as hoodlums and live as hoodlums. At least¡¡ for now. That said¡ I do not think it willst forever.¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar says, there is no way that the delinquents can remain hoodlums forever.
If you can¡¯t graduate and be a warrior, even if you have such people in the Academy, you¡¯ll just fall behind.
The fighting skills and performance of delinquency will be of no use in the future.
But here?
ording to the Old man¡¡ they weren¡¯t doing anything illegal¡¡ then, there was no problem, and these guys are working while being hoodlums.
¡°¡¡ Oh? You¡¡ how did you get in? Admission should be restricted at the entrance¡¡±
And, a voice called from behind me and Tre¡¯ainar.
I was a little surprised at the voice, but I knew in an instant who it was.
¡°A gentle Elder helped me get in¡ you¡¯re not going to kick me out, saying it¡¯s against the rules?¡±
¡°Kakkaka¡¡e now, it¡¯s fine. We would¡¯ve let you in if you wanted, brother¡¡±
As I looked back with my retort, there stood Bro with a smile on his face.
¡°Oh, Mr. Bro! Were you here? I¡¯m winning a lot today!¡±
¡°Hey, Bro. What about thatdy? Is Miss Gavana here today?¡±
¡°Well, that Duel Monster was exciting. I¡¯ll ask again next time!¡±
Bro, where are the boobies? I¡¯ve used my sick leave to skip Congress, so I want to buy a woman.¡±
Bro, who was popr in the town, might also be popr with the nobles gathered on this floor. Everyone who passed by would call out, and Bro would respond with a friendlyugh.
¡°You¡¯re very popr.¡±
¡°Kakkaka, well, because I¡¯m handsome.¡±
Somehow, I really feel like a casino master, and it doesn¡¯t seem to have a very bad air.
¡°Hey, Bro¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°What is this ce? It looks like gambling house secretly managed by the upper ss of the Empire, but why are you guys in charge?¡±
Why are the hoodlums working in a ce like this?
In the first ce, why are Bro and the others working properly in such a ce?
¡°In a nutshell¡ a ce where we can stay hoodlums.¡±
¡°Wh-What¡?¡±
Bro answered my question without hesitation.
It was the opposite of me and Tre¡¯ainar who thought that it was impossible to live as a hoodlum forever.
¡°After the war¡¡ Until a decade ago, this town¡ was almostwless and chaotic, a town dominated by the Mafia. It sounds like a merchant town, but illegal trade was a daily urrence, arms sales, trafficking ofnd from the vulnerable, scams and badger games, prostitution, human trafficking that treated ves mercilessly, whether they were demons or children, and rampant violence and extortion¡. Back then, the town was a ck market where the rich vent their desires¡. Indeed, calling it no man¡¯snd was no exaggeration. Unlike the Imperial capital, which was regarded as a gorgeous symbol of peace, this was writhingnd of trash left behind by the times.¡±
It was a world that I could not imagine, knowing it only by the name of ¡°merchant town¡±.
¡°But even among the kids who were born and raised in such a city, they were not bound by anything¡. those who would not be subordinated to the environment created by the adults, would not be controlled, and want to live freely to oppose something be ¡®hoodlums¡¯, put up their bodies without fear, and instead of the untrustworthy Imperial Warriors, took the role to protect the town like vigntes¡. our presence in the fight against adults was significant.¡±
¡°With adults¡ That¡¯s¡.¡±
¡°Uh huh. The Bockmati Family that ruled this town¡¡ in order to resist their rule, we fought hard and started an endless struggle.¡±
I didn¡¯t know that either, and even Tre¡¯ainar shook his head.
The Mafia led by the boss who ruled this town and was well-known in the Demon Realm.
Was there a fight between the organization and the town¡¯s delinquency?
¡°It¡¯s just a war¡ even though we were about to be crushed by the overwhelming violence and power of adults, we keep on fighting against all adversity, and the world hade to support us¡. we began to feel proud of our existence and way of life¡. burning with a sense of purpose, always ring¡¡ maybe that was the time when we were at our brightest. But¡¡ it didn¡¯tst either.¡±
With aplex expression on his face, Bro stared at me as he talked.
¡°The Hero, Hiro and Emperor Solja, who noticed the distortion of the town, took the initiative¡¡ and set out to cleanse this town¡. They seized Imperial Upper ss that were connected to the Mafia, and swiftly crushed the power of adults which overwhelmed us with even greater strength¡. The Mafia was eradicated¡¡ our battle hade to an end¡ We lost our mission and everything, we had bezy brats with no purpose.¡±
With an air of loneliness, as if he had lost his purpose in life, Bro talked about what my father had done.
¡°The Empire¡¯s hand was brought in to change it into a town where merchants would feel safe doing business and prosper without doing anything illegal. However, for those of us who fought for such a town, we didn¡¯t feel veryfortable there¡. Some tried to get a job for their livelihood, but it didn¡¯t alwaysst long.¡±
¡°Why¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know if you grew up in clean water, but¡ there are deep seas where the sun doesn¡¯t shine, and some fish can only live in filthy, dirty water¡. For those of us who grew up in a garbage town like this, the waters that werepletely cleaned up by the hero was a difficult environment for us to live¡. we who could only fight, couldn¡¯t easily live properly or even get a proper job.¡±
Listening to that story, I suddenly remembered what I had heard while I was in the Academy.
In the past, it wasn¡¯t difficult to be an Imperial Knight because there was a war, but in this day and age when the war is over, armaments are being reduced, and it has be difficult to be an Imperial Knight.
In the era of war, there was a ce for the Imperial Knights, where they were admired and yed an active part, but after the war, the number of people who will be Knights and the ces where they y an active role are decreasing.
Maybe that was the case with Shinobu and the ninja warriors.
¡°I myself, would often think ¡®this time for sure¡¯, ¡®I¡¯m a man, not trash¡¯, that it could return to how things used to be, and I feel as if I would enjoy myself more than ever¡¡±
But in their case¡¡ I don¡¯t think it¡¯s something you can do with me.
¡°That was the time. It was proposed by the Minister of the Empire, Chitsue. The reopening of gambling house, which was requested by many wealthy people. The Empire became the head honcho and did it¡. the employees¡. why not just assign the delinquents who had some power and influence in the town¡ give a ce where youths can contribute to the country as a new avenue for employment¡. we were given this ce with the meaning of some kind of experiment¡ Like the old days, we kept an eye on so that the corrupt wealthy people and bad adults wouldn¡¯t run wild and pollute the town again like they used to, and continued to protect it¡.¡¯The Hoodlum Soldiers¡¯¡ whatever they call us.¡±
While looking embarrassed, Bro said some crazy words about Hoodlum Soldiers¡¯.
However, he doesn¡¯t seem to be dissatisfied.
¡°It¡¯s not just a job to eat¡ the kind of work that gets you fired up with purpose and take initiative¡¡ the kind of work that will keep us as we are¡¡ well, I doubt that¡¯s what Minister Chitsue¡¯s ¡®true intentions¡¯ are, but¡¡ this is the ce where we belong now.¡±
No, far from being dissatisfied, he¡¯s somewhat proud.
For the rest of my life, they will live as they want without being bound. They live ording to the rules they are satisfied with.
It sounded like what a delinquent would say.
But on the other hand¡¡
¡°But you¡ don¡¯t be like us.¡±
¡°Wh-What?¡±
¡°A worthless existence in the world¡ not like us who beautify and justify a world where the sun doesn¡¯t shine¡ you¡¯re going to be a big shot in the sunny world.¡±
Bro himself has a way of life that makes him proud¡¡ no, it¡¯s a way of life that he justifies, but he said, ¡°Don¡¯t be like me¡±, like an adult preaching to a child.
I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯m going to be delinquent or yearn for it.
However, it was true that I was interested in Bro and the others, and Bro¡¯s words, that seemed to look through it, left an impression on me.
And then¡¡
¡°Bro! Hey, Bro!¡±
Somewhat in a hurry, baguette head rushed over, calling for Bro.
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Ah. Just now, that Chitsue guy has arrived¡¡ Somehow, there¡¯s something important about the auction, so he wants me to call Bro.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hoh~.¡±
Minister Chitsue. That person? ¡¡ seriously. He knows me very well, I better avoid a face to face¡
¡°Something important¡ Well¡¡ what kind of adult¡¯s agenda wille out¡¡±
Then Bro, seeming somewhat reluctant, sighed with a wry smile.
I was worried about the situation, and I wanted to stay away from Minister Chitsue, but before I knew it, I was following Bro.
Author¡¯s Note
To tell the truth, my other extremely elegant work, which is also active in Nocturne Novels, was released yesterday, so I was worried about the bookstore and I was just not motivated to do anything about this. I cannot say the title because it is a vition of the rules, but if you are interested please try searching.
Chapter 79 – Exchange Conditions
Chapter 79 ¨C Exchange Conditions
Tranted by: Sads07
Following Bro, I found a fat man at the restaurant area with about four nasty looking guys standing behind him, gobbling up greasy food.
The fat old man looked so pig-like that he could have been mistaken for an Orc.
I hid in the shadow of a table on the floor to avoid detection.
¡°Hey, Bro. Are we making a killing, I wonder? I wonder?¡±
¡°Thanks foring. Wee, Minister Chitsue.¡±
The man talked messily while shoving things in his mouth.
It was ufortable to look at, one of the Imperial Ministers. Chitsue.
As usual....
¡°I¡¯ve heard rumors. I¡¯m sure. Seems you got the crowd pretty excited. You see. This is one of your virtues. You see.¡± [1]
¡°Much Thanks¡±
¡°The working girls too, they don¡¯t seem to be selling their bodies, or getting sick and worn out like they used to, everyone is always healthy and doing well. See.¡±
Sitting in the chair opposite Chitsue, Bro gave a bitterugh. Apparently, though Bro is being praised, he doesn¡¯t seem to be in a very good mood.
And then......
¡°It¡¯s just...... some customers are a little disgruntled. See.¡±
¡°...... Yes?¡±
¡°I¡¯m certain they¡¯re having fun, but the old days were more enthusiastic and exciting.... It was. That it was.¡±
At that time, Chitsue was smiling at first, but although the smile was on his mouth, only the glint in his eyes became sharp.
¡°In the old days... you mean the days when you could do with the women as you please...... if you ask a merchant, you could get anything, endless gambling and Duel Monsters, a banquet with no rules, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. For the wealthy, using money to break thew gives them a sense of immorality and excitement. You see. For a wholesome gathering like this, you didn¡¯t have to hide your face and y incognito toe to this town. It was. That it was.¡±
The conversation suddenly became suspicious for some reason. What is this guy up to?
¡°I don¡¯t care what the customer thinks, the priority is to follow the basic rules. We¡¯ll keep our eyes open to protect this town. Isn¡¯t that our mission, as given by you?¡±
Bro also answered without losing a step with a serious expression as his smile disappeared.
Then, as if he had been waiting for those words, Chitsue had a nasty smile on his face.
¡°That¡¯s right. Follow the rules...... but it¡¯s the same for you. You see.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Have a look. See.¡±
Saying that, Chitsue threw a bunch of paper at the table.
¡°Information I came across... ording to the original rules, merchants and trade associations that bring in auction items are always supposed toe to me to intervene and mediate. They do. There is also a need to conduct a credit check on the merchants. That it is.¡±
¡°Sure. That¡¯s why we...¡±
¡°But a merchant, whom I didn¡¯t hear of, has been in and out of here and sold items at auction. That it is. In addition, we didn¡¯t have a margin when it came to the sales. That it is.¡±
Upon hearing those words, Bro took a piece of paper and looked at it, astonished.
¡°Nah, that¡¯s ridiculous. We only let in the merchants who properly brokered with you. Besides, you guys get the proceeds from the auction sales as amission...... I know we don¡¯t do such ¡®direct management¡¯...... Hey, auction management......¡±
At that time, Bro swiftly looked back at baguette head.
¡°Huh? a... ah...¡±
Then, baguette head turned pale and immediately began to panic.
¡°Hey...¡±
¡°Oh, Bro, um... I..... um...¡±
¡°Oh, you...... no way...¡±
Does baguette head not have any idea...... no, rather than just happening to know......
¡°It, it¡¯s not like that! I just...... the merchant geezer, who is always taking care of me, asked me to add his friend¡¯s products.... he needed a lump sum of money right away, and it would take him a long time to be vetted by the Empire.... just because you can trust him.... no, I refused at first, but I just couldn¡¯t...¡±
Bro shut his eyes and pped himself upon the head at baguette head¡¯s excuses.
¡°You didn¡¯t dere it, did you? ...... you...... so, you received a stipend, right?¡±
¡°Eh, n-no way... I, I didn¡¯t receive any.¡±
He hid a vition of the established rules. Baguette head was shaking his head in a panic at Bro¡¯s question whether he got a reward for that.
But it¡¯s clear from his demeanor.
And while watching the situation, Chitsue announced.
¡°This merchant...... is in close contact with a dark organization on a different continent.... in other words, they are affiliated with the Anti-Imperialist. See.¡±
¡°Anti, Imperialist!?¡±
Anti-Imperialist...... That is, an anti-imperial state organization.
They¡¯re like the Mafia.
¡°What does this mean when His Majesty the Emperor takes the initiative to sever ties between the Empire and the Anti-Imperialist, eradicate the Anti-Imperialist, and cleanse the country?¡± You see?¡±
¡°That¡¯s... I never knew it was the Anti-Imperialist at all.¡±
¡°Fufufu. Now, if you receive money from the Anti-Imperialist, it will be even more problematic. That it would¡±
At Chitsue¡¯s words, baguette head whole body was trembling and sweating.
He seems to understand the gravity of what he has done.
¡°... you took it?¡±
¡°B-Bro...... I...¡±
¡°You took it, didn¡¯t you?¡±
To Bro¡¯s serious question as if he were sure of everything, baguette head resigned himself and gave a feeble nod.
¡°Sorry, Bro... Oh, I... I was suddenly handed the money...... even if I knew it¡¯s no good, it¡¯s just pocket money, so I¡¯m told that it¡¯s okay. So...¡±
¡°Ah~...... ah~.... geez.¡±
Bro sighed as he slipped down, resting his body on the back of the chair.
Then he lifted his face and asked Chitsue.
¡°So, what do you want me to do? Fire him...... I doubt that¡¯s what you¡¯re here to say.¡±
To answer the question, Chitsue stopped eating and leaned forward.
¡°Certainly, if this were to be revealed to his Majesty, this gambling house will be done for and your ce will be gone. Right.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right...¡±
¡°But I don¡¯t want you crushed here, and most of all, I consider you to be family. Ain¡¯t it. You are delinquent and mischievous kids, but I cannot bear to have the adults steal away this garden for that single mistake. Ain¡¯t it. So, as a parent, I¡¯ll take care of it. See.¡±
Rather than punishing the hoodlum who broke the rule, Chitsue was trying to do something about it.
However, I don¡¯t feel any warmth in Chitsue¡¯s use of the word ¡°family¡±.
Rather, there is a pungently nasty smell floating in the air.
¡°But since I, as a father, will go through a lot of trouble to forgive your wrongdoing, I want you all to listen to my little request as a parent. That I do.¡±
Look at that. Sure enough, he brought up ¡°exchange conditions¡±.
Bro also seemed to have anticipated it, and listened quietly without much surprise.
And the condition that Chitsue brought out......
¡°I would like to loosen some of the rules on this gambling house. That I do. To be precise, concerning the auction and Duel Monster. See.¡±
At those words, Bro hung his head with a dejected expression that said ¡°I knew it¡±.
And it was then.
¡°Now,dies and gentlemen! The first part of today¡¯s Duel Monster is over. Before wemence the second half, we¡¯ll finally start the long-awaited auction!¡±
In front of the cage where beasts were fighting in the center of the gambling den, when a hoodlum raised his voice, the nobles cheered all at once.
¡°If you¡¯re excited about the battle between monsters, you can¡¯t be satisfied with that alone. Not just the spectacle. To be the master of monsters, make your monsters fight, raise them up and strengthen them, and go on the road to be a Duel Kings. All for you... the monster auction will start!¡±
Monster Auction.
¡°If you¡¯ve purchased a monster this time, or if you already own a monster, you can add your monster to thetter part of today¡¯s Duel Monster and fight! To the man who aims to be a Duel King...... if you¡¯re here,e on down!¡±
It was exactly what I expected when I heard the Old man¡¯s story.
To be the master of monsters. In other words, an auction to buy monsters.
¡°Up first, we have a ferocious carnivore sporting a powerful jaw, as strong as any of the Dragon-kin, that could crunch anything. Can exert its power on bothnd and water and has a stylish mustache, the Demon Realm Crocodile... I give you, Dandy Croc! Now, the minimum bid starts at 5 million!¡±
¡°5.5 million!¡±
¡°6 million!¡±
¡°6.3 million!¡±
¡°7 million!¡±
A monster was brought in while being restrained by a cor and a muzzle. The excited nobles stood up all at once, raised their hands, and tried to throw their bid.
Yes, this is what the ¡®auction¡¯ was all about.
And Chitsue¡¯s request was to revise the rules of the current auction.
¡°As a matter of fact, in the Imperial Grand Prison that houses criminals...... there are many criminal demons who have sinned on the Surface. Ogres. Dark elves. Devil-kin. Cyclops, minotaurs, vampires, and so on. I want those intelligent demons to be eligible for Duel Monster and auctions. That I do.¡±
And then......
¡°In addition, it might be interesting to auction female demons as tools for sexual gratification. Why not!¡±
Chitsue said, with a smirk and sleazy grin on his face......
¡º...... Hmm...... My oh my....¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
Though Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me, did not change his expression, there was anger in the emotions which clearly overflowed from his body.
¡°Not prisoners of war, but criminals who were arrested for crimes. Originally, they are beings that should be subject to the death penalty, yet taxpayers¡¯ money is invested to maintain the facility they are simply being held in. See. It¡¯s ridiculous. You know.¡±
Unaware of the Great Demon King¡¯s anger, he began to talk eloquently about things that were outside thew.
¡°Use of intelligent demons is not allowed... either way, if it were found out, the Hero. Hiro won¡¯t stay silent, yeh.¡±
On the other hand, while closing his eyes, Bro replied in a reluctant manner.
However, Chitsue talked, without regard to the statement.
¡°I won¡¯t have to worry about that anymore. You see. Hero Hiro will soon be stripped of his authority. That he will.
¡°Oh...¡±
¡°Thanks to what his son did, Hiro has relinquished all his responsibilities. Ain¡¯t it so. No matter how close his Majesty and Hiro may be as the Seven Heroes, they must carry out their responsibilities. See.¡±
And in the middle of it all, my father and I were brought up.
The nobles were talking about it before I came in here.
In many ways, it gave meplicated feelings.
¡°As a trail, I¡¯d like to use a few demons in the second half of today¡¯s duel monsters. That I do.¡±
¡°Nu, wha... from today?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I do. Don¡¯t be surprised, okay? Gufufufufu, I prepared an outrageous monster for the day.¡±
With that, Chitsue turned back to the nasty guys behind him.
¡°Hey. Hey. Bring them in. Come on.¡±
¡°Understood¡±
That being said, one of the men left the ce and went somewhere.
And when Chitsue turned to Bro again......
¡°Gufufufufu, look forward to it. I¡¯m sure the customers will love it too.¡±
¡°I refuse.¡±
¡°Yes, that Great Demon King once... eh? hey, huh?¡±
Chitsue leaned forward and made a proposal, but Bro¡¯s words left him wide eyed and surprised.
¡°Nah, eh.... huh?¡±
He didn¡¯t expect to be refused. Bro gave his message with strong eyes.
¡°It was ¡®we¡¯ who did wrong. Then, the thing to do is not to ask for forgiveness, but to atone. And if as a result we receive penalties, get fired, or if we lose our ce, so be it.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°And I¡¯m the leader. In that case, I¡¯ll ept full responsibility. Be it half my sry or my dismissal...... whether it¡¯s a finger or an arm, take whatever you like. But, I won¡¯t ept the alteration to the rules.¡±
Without hesitation, he answered...... a finger?? What is he talking about!?
¡°We hoodlums aren¡¯t captives of themon sense and evaluation of society. That is simply the way of life that you guys have decided on abiding. So if you¡¯re going to offer forgiveness for our wrongdoing in exchange for conditions which we don¡¯t want, we may refuse, yeh.¡±
¡°I, idiot! Do you understand what you¡¯re saying, do you?¡±
¡°Idiot? Who are you talking to? I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve figured out that I¡¯m an idiot delinquent, haven¡¯t you? That¡¯s the kind of chap you¡¯ve tried to use.¡±
We will atone for our sins. However, the exchange condition is not eptable.
There was such a belief in the man named Bro.
¡°You... you¡¯re all going to be fired as joint responsibility, right? Huh? I have that power. Get it!¡±
¡°That¡¯s too bad. But I can¡¯t ept your request.¡±
¡°eh, Bro..... You punk.¡±
And, of course, it is an adult who will not ept such unfavorable terms obediently.
Chitsue raised his hand, and the guys behind him came forward.
No, not only them, but also the very crowd of stout and heavy-faced adults who had been ced on the floor of the gambling-house began to gather around Bro all at once.
[S1] Chitsue adds a lot of inflections either in the middle or at the end of his dialogues. Words like ¤Î¤«, ¤¿¤¤, ¤¤¤ë, ¤ì¤ë, ¤é¤Ê, ¤è¤¦, ¤À¤Í. The meanings don¡¯t really make much sense if directly tranted, kinda seem like just random stuff he adds while talking. One of these happen to trante as ¡®You See¡¯ which brought to mind 1920s prohibition era Gangsters, so I ended up seeing the guy as a fatter Al Capone and I tried to bring that out. It kinda fits, especially with the secret gambling den being a sort of SpeakEasy Booze Joint. Anyway, let me know if you have any thoughts or inputs on this.
Chapter 80 – Full Responsibility
Chapter 80 ¨C Full Responsibility
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Bro¡ Don¡¯t get cocky. Just no. Do you know what will happen if you go against adults? Do you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going against it. I just follow the rules originally set and won¡¯t change them just to fatten you up. I¡¯ll take the punishment for what my people did. That¡¯s fine, yeh?¡±
Bro, who stood up without fear of Chitsue¡¯s intimidation, raised his hands as if to show a pose of surrender.
However, his eyes did not seem to have yielded at all.
¡°Hm, hmpf¡ you punk¡¡ have you forgotten the kindness that gave you a responsible job even as a ¡®half-wit¡¯?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t forget your gratitude. I¡¯m grateful to you. That¡¯s why¡¡ I¡¯m going to make sure you don¡¯t get any fatter and make your health worse.¡±
¡°Eeh!!¡±
¡°I will take Full responsibility. So please withdraw your request.¡± [1]
The fat pig rose with a snort and a flush of anger.
And, took a liquor bottle which was on the table, and mmed it down on Bro¡¯s head with great vigor.
¡°Nu, B, Bro!¡±
¡°Bro!¡±
¡°Ky kyaaaaah!!¡±
¡°Ah, Bro! Your ¡®Cap¡¯!¡±
A shattering bottle. Splintering debris. And with that momentum, the hat Bro was wearing flew off¡ eh?
¡°Hey, what¡¯s this? Is this¡?¡±
¡°Oh, h-hey!¡±
¡°Are you¡ Mr. Bro¡ Wha? Eh? What!¡±
The hoodlums were in a panic, calling out ¡°Oh no!¡± and the guest nobles were astonished to see the ¡°impossible¡±.
I¡¯m also¡ the same¡
¡°Hey, hey, that¡¯s¡¡±
¡º¡¡¡»
¡°Naa, Tre¡¯ainar¡ Bro¡¯s head¡. ears, too¡¡±
I asked Tre¡¯ainar, but he doesn¡¯t seem to be very surprised.
No way¡
¡ºI once said this about the fellow, did I not? ¡¡ ¡®Half-wit¡¯¡¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was aware from the beginning.
This incident.
The deep hat concealed Bro¡¯s true identity.
Blue, swept-back hair, all ruffled up.
A single ¡®horn¡¯ slightly extended from the forehead.
And, pointed ¡®ears¡¯ which are unlike a human¡¯s.
¡°Hey, is that Bro? What does that mean, Bro¡¡±
¡°No way, Bro¡¡±
The customers who were excited by auctions and gambling turned pale all at once.
And the hoodlums¡
¡°Damn, it¡ Bro!¡±
¡°Hey, Bro! We¡¯ll do something about this! You, just leave okay!¡±
¡°Rather, why didn¡¯t you avoid it? Why¡¡±
¡°Hey, calm down, guys! It¡¯s true that Bro is unusual, but¡¡±
This reaction from the delinquents. Yes, the hoodlums ¡®knew¡¯.
¡°Ah~, you got¡ first blood. Well, this is also one of the punishments¡. I¡¯m willing to ept it. I don¡¯t care what happens to me.¡±
While everyone was surprised by Broughing like that, Chitsue¡¯s voice echoed throughout the gambling hall.
¡°Hmm, that¡¯s right! Ladies and gentlemen¡ This guy, Bro Glenn¡ who was deceiving our eyes and slipping into human society¡. is a demon, that it is!!¡±
¡°Yes, he is¡ Human and Demon. A mixed race¡. that is, half-breed.¡±
I got speechless and fell behind at Bro¡¯s true nature, which I hadn¡¯t expected at all.
The buzzing nobles, who had been talking to Bro earlier in the day in good spirits, were all surprised and backed away, as if they were afraid.
However, Bro who was hit with a liquor bottle, remained dignified and was wiping his wet head and a little blood.
¡°I wasn¡¯t deceiving or hiding anything. I just wore this hat all the time because I liked it¡. Besides, and I¡¯m not a human, demon or half-demon.¡±
The identity that you would originally want to hide.
No wonder. Even though the war is over, the current world still doesn¡¯t easily ept variants.
That¡¯s why Mr. Aka was hiding in the mountains because he had such a hard time and was aware of it.
Besides, a half-demon is neither a full demon nor a full human.
That¡¯s why Chitsue and Tre¡¯ainar called him, ¡°Half-wit¡±.
And yet, Bro does not seem particrly perturbed by the situation.
Instead of hiding his strange figure, he opened it up again, and he¡¯s just¡.
¡°A hoodlum. That¡¯s what I am.¡±
Not a human, a demon, or a half-demon. Bro dered his true identity and stuck to it, he considered himself a hoodlum to the end.
¡°Bro Glenn! I used you although you were a half-demon, but it was convenient because you were adored by the townspeople and the youngsters. That¡¯s all! That all¡¡ that. A little, no, considerably painful experience watching over you and apparently you¡¯re not grateful, you¡¯re not you¡¯re not you¡¯re nooooooot!! My forefathers have contributed to the development of the Empire for generations¡. Let¡¯s engrave the crime against Chitsue Fauh in your body!¡±
¡ºFauh¡ ah¡¡ this fellow, that civil servant¡ he is a descendant of the one who once gued the Demon King Army by greatly developing the Empire with his intelligence and political power? I see. I wondered why such a simplistic, weak-headed, unsightly pig was a minister¡ of course, tis a fine lineage, but the man is merely an ipetent pig that has gained status only through the influence of his ancestors.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s said something really harsh, but¡ that¡¯s not the situation.
Whatever kind of guy Chitsue himself is, his position and those who follow him are real.
¡°You guys, I want this bastard beaten to a pulp no straighten him up dear me dear me dear me!¡±
Along with those words, the guys who came along with Chitsue gave a broad grin.
They¡¯re¡ like bodyguards, yet they¡¯re not warriors¡. but they don¡¯t seem to be respectable either.
¡º¡¡ They all¡ possess some ability. Most likely not warriors¡. Mercenaries.¡»
Either way, as a Tre¡¯ainar believed, they¡¯re not ordinary guys.
But if all of them were to get involved, Bro would¡
¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a cheeky fucking brat.¡±
¡°What shall we do with you, scum?¡±
¡°Well, let¡¯s see how far your brave act goes, shall we?¡±
That said, dozens of men with bottles, chairs, blunt instruments and so on in their hands were in front of Bro.
And Bro is consistently immobile and willing to ept everything.
No, that¡¯s¡.
¡°¡±¡±No¡.. Don¡¯t¨D¨D¨D ¡°¡±¡±
¡°You, absolutely do not get involved in this!!¡±
When I¡ and the hoodlums were about to jump out, Bro stopped it.
¡°This is just a distinction. It¡¯s not about hoodlums, half-demon, or an insult to the minister¡ it was ¡®we¡¯ who first broke the rules. I¡¯m not going to waver.¡±
For a moment, Bro himself retold the story that was almost forgotten.
No, Chitsue isn¡¯t angry about that. He¡¯s angry because the exchange condition he brought forward was refused.
And yet Bro¡ said ¡°we¡±, you didn¡¯t particrly do anything!
¡°No¡it, it¡¯s enough already, Bro! It¡¯s me. It¡¯s all my fault! I¡¯ll make amends! I¡¯m going to die! So, please, Minister Chitsue! I¡¯ll get fired, so please let Bro off! I¡¯m begging you!¡±
Yes, it all started when baguette head vited the rules.
Baguette head sat on the ground crying and begged for forgiveness.
But Bro smiled¡
¡°Kakkakka, idiot. Fellow friends should be on an impartial and equal standing¡ But yet, why is there a leader? It is because they sometimes take the lead in a fight and sometimes take the responsibility on their behalf. This is my job. So, I won¡¯t budge!¡±
¡°B, Bro¡¡±
¡°Besides, it would be sad if you died. So you watch what I¡¯m doing, you hurt in your heart, and you regret breaking the rules. And I swear you¡¯ll never break them again. That¡¯s your distinction. Rather than feeling like you¡¯ve cleared up your sins just by being beat up, it¡¯s much harder, and you¡¯ll never think of doing it again, yeh?¡±
The moment he told the tearful baguette head that, the man in front of him mmed the chair on Bro¡¯s head.
¡°Don¡¯t keep yingme friendship game, brat!¡±
¡°Gah¡¡±
¡°Oraa! You said you¡¯ll take responsibility, so let¡¯s do it!¡±
¡°Te¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re just a piece of trash!¡±
Bro didn¡¯t avoid them at all. The men mercilessly hit, kick, and beat such a defenseless Bro to their heart¡¯s content.
¡°No, stop, stop!¡±
¡°Damn it, damn it!!¡±
¡°No, please, B, Bro!¡±
The hoodlums and the women turned pale. On the other hand, the nobles¡
¡°No, but Bro¡ no, he¡¯s a half-demon, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! You were fooling us! This is a fraud!¡±
¡°If I knew he was half-demon, I wouldn¡¯t have been involved!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
They were trying to justify this scene, something that would otherwise turn eyes away, on the grounds that Bro is a half-demon.
¡°Yes, after all, you¡¯re a damn monster! You can only hang with delinquent trash, no matter what you do!¡±
¡°You think you¡¯ll be allowed to act so cool and fight against adults?¡±
¡°Now, cry, kneel down and apologize!¡±
Beating up as they pleased, saying as they pleased.
However, Bro did not refute it at all, and was just standing there epting the attacks no matter what.
He never fell, never broke, continued to be hit, his face and the body were painfully carved with blood stter and injuries.
Nevertheless¡
¡°B¡ro¡¡±
I felt a shudder. I didn¡¯t know how to express this feeling.
However, no matter how much was done, the light in his eyes does not yield to the other party at all.
Bro should be much stronger than his opponents, but he was trying to stick it out in order to draw a distinction based on my belief.
¡°This, guy¡¡±
I¡¯ve seen, with my own eyes, Bro¡¯s open-minded personality, his fighting skills, and how he¡¯s adored by youth and people in the town.
Certainly, I had the impression that he was ¡°out of the ordinary¡±, ¡°strong¡±, ¡°popr¡± and so on, but that was it.
For sure there are others with more unusual personalities, who are much stronger, and more popr than Bro.
But this way of life¡ how things should be¡ the figure that sticks to his principles to the bitter end, and never shows weakness¡¡
¡°This guy¡¯s¡ so¡ Awesome!¡±
A hooligan that can¡¯t be respected. No, whether delinquents, humans, demons, half-demons, and so on¡ as an individual, it didn¡¯t matter.
But I was unconsciously swayed by that same ¡°man¡±.
Is that why it¡¯s enough to just stand there and show this?
Do I really want to be excluded?
Even though I was an outsider, I didn¡¯t want to be unable to do anything.
¡ºOi, child¡ do not be tactless. Tis stupid and iprehensible, but¡ even so, he is fighting in his own way¡. do you intend to get involved?¡»
I found myself stepping out.
Tre¡¯ainar gave a bitter smile at me, but I still¡
¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m not one of them, I¡¯m not a delinquent. I¡¯m simply¡¡ going to mess with it because they keep doing unpleasant things as they please right in front of me.¡±
¡ºFuhahahaha, you disapprove hence you will interfere. The world would call you a hoodlum.¡»
I threw away the goggles I was wearing.
My feet didn¡¯t stop any more.
[S1] The word he uses, which is also the chapter title, ¥±¥¸¥á (kejime), trantes directly as Distinction (e.g. between right and wrong). But I can¡¯t help but feel as if this isn¡¯t the authors actually intention but rather is using it as a shorthand for ¤±¤¸¤á¤ò¸¶¤±¤ë (kejimeotsukeru), which could mean to make a clear distinction, but also means to take clear responsibility for (mistakes, etc.)?. Which is basically what Bro intends to do, take full responsibility for his underlings¡¯ wrongdoings.
Chapter 81 – Such a Waste
Chapter 81 ¨C Such a Waste
Tranted by: Sads07
He¡¯d never abandon his friends. On top of that, take responsibility for everything yourself and draw the line.
The hoodlums are biting their lips with regret at the sight of Bro.
¡°That¡¯s why I hate stupid delinquent brats! For your friends? Do you think that cold logic matters to adults?¡±
And, adults curse it.
So, I.....?
¡°Yo... is that...... fun for those who hit and those who get hit?¡±
The moment I walked up to Bro in the middle of being hit and asked, the adults made an expression that said ¡°you¡¯re in the way¡±, but immediately looked at me and looked surprised.
¡°Eh!? Ah, eh?¡±
¡°Oh, you¡¯re...¡±
Sure enough, the adults seemed to know me.
No, it¡¯s more like my title than me.
And......
¡°It¡¯s been a long time, Minister Chitsue.¡±
¡°...eh? Wh...Why...¡±
¡°About a year since the princess¡¯s birthday party at the Royal Pce.¡±
The face of Chitsue, who was making noise by shouting while looking down at the beaten Bro, was distorted.
¡°Geez... trying to drag a pure kid into the delinquent path through smoking or drinking, yet going to the trouble to keep your hands from dyeing off illegal matters.... mostly I thought, you¡¯re a terrible guy, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Wh-why... here...... no, you¡¯ve been in this town, Earth!?¡±
¡°A few days after leaving home... I never thought you would be the first acquaintance I meet.¡±
Iughed bitterly at this strange reunion.
¡°Hey, that kid... what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Do you know Mr. Chitsue?¡±
¡°......?¡±
People around me were confused by my sudden appearance, and even the hoodlums asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± while upset.
¡°Don¡¯t... ah? ...... what are you doing... brother... I said not to put your hand in this, yeh?¡±
Bro asked me, wiping the blood that was dripping.
¡°When did I be one of you? Why should I listen to you?¡±
¡°...... Kakkakka.... why, then, you usually shouldn¡¯t interfere, because it¡¯s got nothing to do with you?¡±
¡°Still, if you keep doing unpleasant things in front of me, I¡¯d get anxious. Don¡¯t do these things in public.¡±
¡°What the hell is that? An irrational argument.¡±
¡°I guess we¡¯re alike in that regard.¡±
We began throwing verbal jabs at each other.
As for Bro, he would have tried to take responsibility by letting the other party do as they pleased until they were satisfied.
But I interfered.
¡°Hey, don¡¯t ignore me... Earth...... you disappeared in the Commemorative Match before. What are you doing here? Is that it?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve done nothing. I just disappeared and selflessly tried to get away from the Empire, and I just got here, and I still... haven¡¯t done anything, and I haven¡¯t aplished anything.¡±
¡°So much non-stop chatter... does Hiro know about this?¡±
Does my father know? The question made me spontaneously snicker.
¡°I didn¡¯t even know why it turned out this way. How would he know?¡±
¡°...... eh.....¡±
¡°So as for me, I don¡¯t want to get into any weird conflicts, I just want to go to the ends of the world to a distant ce where no one knows about me.¡±
That¡¯s it. That¡¯s why I should have just turned a blind eye to all this trouble and left the town.
But I couldn¡¯t do that.
¡°But even so, for some reason, I met some guys and got involved with them.... this hoodlum is one of them.¡±
¡°...... What? ...... no way, Earth! You guys...¡±
¡°That¡¯s not it. I¡¯m not one of them.... not a hoodlum.... no, I don¡¯t know what kind of reputation I have in the Empire now...¡±
I wasn¡¯t supposed to be a delinquent. But I left home like this, ignored my parents¡¯ feelings and did whatever I wanted.
So it may be unavoidable to answer ¡°Yes¡±.
¡°What... you made a mess of an Honorable Imperial Match, and for somehow even used a forbidden technique, so there¡¯s nothing but distrust in the Empire! Even if you were found to be with hoodlums, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising!¡±
¡°Is that so... well... I¡¯m prepared for that too.... but...... even if he¡¯s not a friend, couldn¡¯t you wait a minute to get this guy out of here before beating him up?¡±
¡°What, was that was that tha?¡±
We might be simr.... but...... still, when I look at the man named Bro, I think, ¡°I¡¯m different¡±.
¡°Tell me one thing, Bro.¡±
¡°Un?¡±
¡°The way you¡¯re trying to take responsibility... I thought...... you look like an idiot... but I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off it... my heart was shaken.... I¡¯ve seen a lot of strong guys, popr guys... you were the first of your type I¡¯ve ever seen.¡±
Knowing what I know about Bro, I had to ask.
¡°Why are you... in a ce like this, smoking out and being a delinquent... under Minister Chitsue? Will you stay a hoodlum forever? Is this what you really want?¡±
Why do you live in a town like this, won¡¯t go out to the world, and won¡¯t raise your name?
¡°Being a half demon¡ª¡°
¡°That has nothing to do with it... it was the reason why I became a hoodlum, but... it¡¯s not the reason why I stay a hoodlum.¡±
Before asking if the reason had anything to do with being half-demon, Bro told me to interrupt my words.
¡°It¡¯s just... don¡¯t say I¡¯m smoldering. I¡¯ve been out in the world more than you imagine. It¡¯s not a sunlit world, but well... I¡¯ve been through a lot... I even joined a dojo... that¡¯s why, after various experiences and encounters, I finally gave up and decided that the way I¡¯m living now is better. I chose it.¡±
¡°Huh? This...... is it better to live like that, having these guys run all over you? These people can tease you and make fun of you all they want, yet you help the minister make a little money and try to defend them like that! What distinction? Is there a reason to protect this ce?!¡±
Yes, I couldn¡¯t stand it. Not him being Minister Chitsue¡¯s errand boy.
¡°Bro... you¡¯re a rare breed... really popr, too. And most of all, a heart that doesn¡¯t bend and doesn¡¯t break. A spirit which tries to take responsibility on your own for yourpanion, too... as you endured that beat down. I thought it was awesome.... but...... that¡¯s why...... at the same time as I thought awesome, I also thought like this.¡±
This is the way of the man named Bro.
¡°Such a waste!¡±
I know.
This guy is stronger than that. When he fights, far from being an Imperial Warrior.... Imperial Knight.
¡°If you put your mind to it... as long as you don¡¯t stick to your hometown and the hoodlums... you¡¯d be more...... more...¡±
I can¡¯t see the depths of his strength yet, but at least, if it¡¯s justbat ability, it¡¯s more than the princess... more than Rebal.... more, much more... that¡¯s why......
¡°Oh, hey... ah.... Earth my boy.... what are you doing?¡±
¡°Th-That¡¯s right... this is an adult yground, and not a ce for little boys, is it?¡±
¡°Come on, get the hell home now. We¡¯ve got an errand to run on this trash....¡±
And the escorts with Chitsue tried to interrupt my conversation with Bro....
¡°Get out of my way.¡±
Triple jab. I smashed all the alcohol bottles, chairs, and blunt instruments that the men had with my fists.
¡°Nah ... ah ... oh¡±
¡°Huh, it¡¯s...¡±
¡°Th-This kid...¡±
The three of them couldn¡¯t react to my left at all.
However, Bro, who was being beat up by these guys as much as they wanted until a while ago, wasn¡¯t agitated at all when he fought me during the day.
¡°You¡¯re much stronger than these guys, Bro! What¡¯s the point of staying a delinquent forever?¡±
Bro is much stronger than these guys.
That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t watch it.
Then, Bro...
¡°My bad... this way of life has already be like breathing.... that¡¯s why we can¡¯t go back.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°We¡¯re a different race from yours... different race... so, the culture and ideas are different... My bad. I¡¯ve also wanted to get somebody to understand it, so I can¡¯t think of an exnation that you¡¯ll be satisfied with, yeh.¡±
Though you¡¯ve be familiar with me, when Ie to yourself, you refuse.
Well, to begin with, I¡¯m not great enough to get involved in people¡¯s lives and how they live, nor do I know anything about it.
¡°Surely you¡¯re stubborn... but these days, I can understand an ogre if we talk, but.... you I don¡¯t understand, no matter how much I talk with you.¡±
¡°Kakakka, that can¡¯t be cured.¡±
I really don¡¯t understand... I can¡¯t do anything about it... but... I wonder why... I don¡¯t know what¡¯s bothering me.
¡°...Minister Chitsue...... you¡¯ve been greatly troubled too, because you¡¯ve hired these guys...¡±
¡°Nu, Nunu...¡±
¡°So? What are you going to do? This guy has taken responsibility as it is, are you going to beat him up some more?¡±
Then, with a look of disgust, I sighed and spoke to Minister Chitsue, who was still shaken
Are you going to continue with that matter from earlier?
Are you going to force them to do what they know is illegal?
And then......
¡°Hmph. Earth...... I don¡¯t know what your rtionship is with Bro, but you know I¡¯m... no, you don¡¯t think I¡¯m going to back out for fear of you... or your parents, do you?¡±
While sweating, he smiled with a somewhat gut-wrenching grin....
¡°If you were to report my story earlier... no one would believe what you have to say anymore, just like the delinquents in this town. Rather, as a minister, I am the one who will have thest word...¡¯Earth has gone down the path of evil¡¯. Speaking of, if it is now, the Imperial Capital should believe it! Then there¡¯s nothing to fear you, you see!¡±
Saying that, Chitsue raised his hand and turned to all the guards with him...
¡°All these miscreants who stand in my way will be hurt toge¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Giiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!¡±
But that was then.
¡°...... Eh.¡±
Not only the minister, but we could hear screams that we didn¡¯t even expect....
¡°Hi, hii! H- Help.... save, me.¡±
From the room at the back of the gambling hall, one of the escorts, covered in the blood, came out crawling.... what?
¡°Eh? Huh? What is it?¡±
¡°?¡±
Both Bro and I looked at each other, but neither of us knew what was going on.
However, when I saw the figure of the wounded man who was crawling out of the room, I realized something.
That¡¯s the man who went somewhere under Chitsue¡¯s order...... the man who was told to ¡®bring something¡¯...
¡°¡±......Ah......¡±¡±
At that moment, Bro and I noticed at the same time.
And......
¡°............... KIIIILL...... HUUMAAANSS...¡±
A chilling voice came out from the back of the room, collecting miasma.
And that shadow was not alone.

Chapter 82 ¨C Chaos

With the screams of the bloodied man, shadows wriggled in the darkness.
The size of the shadows varied. Some have a physique no different from ours, while others are obviously several timesrger.
And in some ces, the shapes of the shadows were different from humans. One of these entities, who gives off a strange ambiance, stepped into the gambling hall, raised its huge arm, and tried to swing it down at the crawling man, and at the same time revealed its full figure¡. Before that!
¡°Hey there!!¡±
¡°Gah!?¡±
Normally, if such an unexpected event happens, you can¡¯t move immediately.
What¡¯s more, what was about toe out of the back room was something that was obviously not human.
At the very least, I observed it, thinking about what to do.
But he was different.
He slipped in-between them.
¡°Bro!?¡±
A sense. A wild feeling. As if instinct had detected it, he moved faster than anyone else, hitting a huge arm that was swung down with a kick.
¡°Huh~, wh-what¡ this guy¡ so cool¡¡±
And, everyone was amazed at the sight.
¡°Free¡kill¡you¡I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
The girth was about two times bigger than that of a normal person.
Its whole body was covered in green skin, the hands were sharp sickle-like arms.
The expression,pletely different from that of a human being, was that of an insect.
¡°A¡ Praying Mantis?¡±
¡°This thing¡ a giant human-shaped mantis. Mantis race!?¡±
It¡¯s a monster that I¡¯ve only seen in picture books.
A race that is extremely ferocious and has been designated as a dangerous species.
¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on? Why is that bug loose, darn it?¡±
Chitsue was panicking at the unexpected. Then, upon closer inspection, Mantis¡¯s ankle was dragging along broken chains and shackles.
¡°H, hey, what that monster¡ n-no way¡¡±
¡°Run away, Hi, Hi¡¡±
Apparently, Chitsue escaped from what he brought.
The moment the guests understood that, everyone turned pale and¡
¡°Cursed humans. I¡¯ll have you clear away my grudges!¡±
¡°Oh, nu!? Oh crap!!¡±
Then, at some point, someone jumped into Bro¡¯s bosom as he held back Mantis¡¯s arm, and stabbed at him with the broken liquor bottle in their hand.
¡°Geez¡ what now¡ whoa?¡±
Bro, who jumped away in the nick of time, took a distance with the crawling man being held in his arm.
Then, the person who tried to stab Bro raised their face, and we were once again shocked by their appearance.
¡°Oh, woman?¡±
That¡¯s right, she was a woman. But she¡¯s not just a woman.
Brown skin. The voluptuous body which could easily charm men was covered with a tattered long skirt and a short shirt which stopped at her navel.
Her long purple hair was damaged from being restrained for so long, but it doesn¡¯t detract from the woman¡¯s beauty.
However, the ears protruding from under the long hair proved that the woman was not human.
¡°Dark Elf¡ hey,e on, are you serious?¡±
Yes, it¡¯s a dark elf. I¡¯m seeing one for the first time, too.
In addition¡¡
¡°Uga, kill¡ Uga, eat¡ raid¡±
Although not as much as the Mantis, it is the first demon that appeared with a massive, muscr body. A Cyclops.
¡°Gigigigigi, Gi, Gii!¡±
A small demon appeared from underneath the cyclops¡¯ feet.
¡°Goblin¡¡±
Four demons who appeared were released from their restraints.
¡°Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What¡¯s up with these guys? Why are they suddenly showing up?¡±
¡ºHmm¡.. Ho~¡»
It seems that Chitsue brought them in, but apparently they saw an opening and broke out of the restraints.
But before we could figure out who they were and what circumstances they were under¡.
¡°Hey, you guys! Hurry up and get all the guests outta here! I¡¯ll hold these guys off, but if they¡¯re about to go outside, fight your guts out! When our hometown is threatened, we hoodlums start moving first! Now is the time to show what we¡¯re all about, yeh!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Rather than thinking, run, risk it all, fight and protect!! That¡¯s it!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh, o, ohh!!!¡±¡±¡±
In the midst of the four demons who appeared, Bro spoke up first and issued instructions to the hoodlums.
Too simple an instruction. ¡°Run¡±, ¡°Risk it all¡±, ¡°Fight¡±, ¡°Protect¡±, that¡¯s all.
¡°Don¡¯t panic, run away, guests!¡±
¡°I, I¡¯ll get caught!¡±
¡°Have you lost your legs? Shut up and get on my back!¡±
They¡¯re on the move? The delinquents who should have turned pale together with the guests started moving at Bro¡¯s simple instructions, screaming out.
¡°Ah, aaah¡ they guys¡ even though they¡¯re scared¡¡±
¡ºHmm¡ tis why they are hoodlums¡¡ because they are emotional, quick handed, and simple-minded folk¡. actually there are times when such is indispensable¡¡»
Even though I was shocked by the four demons who showed up, I couldn¡¯t help but fall behind the other hoodlums, let alone Bro.
At the same time, I felt a little miserable, but I was amazed at the hoodlums andughed.
¡°Oh, I won¡¯t let you get away! Everyone here dies!¡±
¡°Let me do it!¡±
¡°Uh¡ Devil-kin¡. No, half-breed¡¡±
¡°Wrong. I¡¯m just a hoodlum.¡±
The Dark Elf started running to attack the fleeing guests.
Bro intercepted her front so as to block the way.
The dark elf is a woman, but she red at Bro with sharp eyes and clicked her tongue.
¡°Heh¡¡.. don¡¯t let the half-breed get in our way. Humans¡ and I¡¯ll kill that coward pig most horribly.¡±
Saying that, Dark Elf looked at Chitsue with a murderous eye.
¡°Hey, what are you on about, you are all criminals¡ a-and what¡¯s the attitude when I kept you alive instead of the death penalty, see!¡±
Chitsue drew back, and shouted in a trembling voice.
¡°Hunting in a forbidden area on human territory¡ ¡®The female Dark elf poacher, Skevern¡¯¡. the same is true for others! ¡®The Assant Cyclops, Bowei¡¯¡¡¡¯The Goblin Potato Thief, Yasashi¡®¡¡¡¯The Escaped Pet Mantis, Toulowe¡¯! No, I¡¯ve kept you all alive and you¡¯ve forgotten what I¡¯ve done for you, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±
Chitsue shouted out the names and charges of the four who aren¡¯t even of the same tribe, much less human.
I was a little concerned about the charges, but rather than a debt of gratitude, at the very least the other party seemed to harbor a grudge.
¡°There¡¯s no bnce between the crime and the punishment I¡¯ve tasted. Do you know what I suffered in the women¡¯s prison because I¡¯m a demon? Generally, poaching? Such foolishness. That mountain was originally home to our vige ¡. and it was overrun by the filthy Imperial Army!¡±
In response to such a crime, the dark elf shouted, ¡°It¡¯s not worth it¡± and turned her murderous intent on him.
But the way¡.
¡°Even so, if you walk that road, you¡¯ll end up in ruin¡. even if you don¡¯t get your money¡¯s worth, even if you have feelings that you can¡¯t give up¡ it¡¯s just a grudge, sister.¡±
¡°Wh, at?¡±
¡°But it must be fate that we met like this. It¡¯s been a long time, in that case as much as you want ¡. I¡¯ll take everything you¡¯re feeling. That should make you feel better.¡±
Bro forced his way through, and received them, such a situation was really bothersome.
¡°Kill¡ kill¡. kill!¡±
However, against Bro, who deals with a beautiful woman even if she is a criminal, I¡
¡°Ugh¡ as for me¡¡ it¡¯s a miss, isn¡¯t it? The most troublesome one is here, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡ºNo, child¡ In a sense, tis a win.¡»
The Mantis, who started running, swung its sickle-like arms.
¡°Tte, not good, you! Get out of here, I¡¯ll take them all together¡.¡±
¡°So why should I listen to you!¡±
That thing would instantly split a living person in two if they received them.
The de was turned to me.
Apparently, they are trying to kill humans indiscriminately.
But¡¡
¡°Geez, calm down¡¡±
¡°What!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash!! ¡¿¡±
Because it made too big a swing, I easily plunged into the inside of its bosom, and hit the body with a blow.
Mantis¡¯s big body trembled due to my fist and it retreated.
¡°What¡ Toulowe!? What¡¯s with that human brat!?¡±
¡°Hey hey, you¡¡±
The dark elf and Bro show a look of surprise at my side spear.
¡°Keh¡ after all, I don¡¯t get it¡. hoodlums¡¡ what¡¯s more, Bro¡ you¡¯re going to put your body up and save the people who were talking shit about you¡. I really don¡¯t understand¡. really¡¡ what the hell is wrong with you¡¡.¡±
While muttering that, I¡
¡°But don¡¯t get me wrong. I don¡¯t care what happens to this ce. Be it hoodlums, ministers, distinctions, you can do whatever you want.¡±
¡°Wha¡ What?¡±
¡°It¡¯s just¡ this mantis attacked me, an unrted person. In other words, it¡¯s my enemy. The enemy of the enemy is an ally¡. is there a problem with that logic?¡±
I couldn¡¯t change Bro¡¯s mind, and I can¡¯t say anything more about the responsibility he is trying to carry, or this gambling house or the delinquency.
But this is the least I can do¡
¡°Kakkaka, no¡ I don¡¯t have any objections with this, yeh.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll take care of this one.¡±
¡°Oh¡ In that case¡ I¡¯ll leave it to you¡¡±
Bro smiled at my words, and turned to face the dark elf.
¡°You¡¯re a dependable guy, man. It¡¯s reassuring to have you fighting with me.¡±
¡°Hmm. I see. Well, I¡¯ve had enough of that¡ Even if I don¡¯t understand them, I want to get to know them as well¡ and in order to know them, we¡¯ll either fight each other or fight together. that¡¯s the most obvious thing, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°You¡¯re so weird, brother.¡±
As we turned our backs to each other, and facing each other¡¯s enemies, weughed at each other.
¡°Now¡ Mantis¡. if you have a lot of resentment for that minister and other humans, I¡¯ll y with you. I¡¯m not gentle, but I¡¯m the kind of guy who can y with demons.¡±
And I¡¯ve got a restless, savage Mantis¡What?
¡°Brat¡ prepare¡. get, serious, kill.¡±
Mantis, who had been attacked by me, became meek and calm as he poised me with its eyes like a hunter coolly targeting his prey.
¡ºCaution, child. This Mantis¡ tis no mere Mantis. It seems to have mastered a Martial Art unique to the mantis race.¡»
¡°What?¡±
¡ºAs such, tis a win. Tis quite rare to get a chance to challenge this Fighting Style.¡»
Mantis¡¯ unique fighting style? It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve heard of such a thing.
¡°Praying Mantis(Tower Climbing)Demon Fist(Cursed sword)¡¡ show you¡±
Saying that, the Mantis bent a little and spread its legs wide, showing a unique stance with both sickles hands.
Certainly, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯m seeing it.
Then I¡¯ll¡
¡°Then I¡¯ll y using the fists of the Demon King who once ruled your world.¡±
I also made a fighting pose to fully enjoy it.
Author¡¯s Note
The English phrase for Praying Mantis Style is Mantis Boxing. If you hear the word ¡®Mantis¡¯ and associate it with unpleasant words, I won¡¯t be offended and you cane backter to report it.

Chapter 83 ¨C Rules

Mantis, who clearly showed a ¡®Martial Arts¡¯ stance, was obviously not a wild beast thatshes out on instinct. It felt calm andcked openings like a martial artist¡. well, it¡¯s originally an insect rather than a beast, but¡
However, because of that, I easily avoided arge swinging attack and jumped into the pocket a little while ago, but it was different now.
¡°Heh¡ I haven¡¯t done anything yet, and just by looking at your stance, I¡¯m a little hesitant to attack you.¡±
The reach of those long sickle-like arms was much too different to wait and see with the left flicker.
I would have to dive under those arms to hit my attack.
Mantis, on the other hand, remained quietly poised and didn¡¯t seem to be making any moves from the other side.
Then, are you just going to keep staring at me?
But that¡¯s not something my master can forgive.
¡°Of course.¡±
And, as I answered my words in my heart, I had no choice but to make the first move.
In other words, in-fighting by dodging the opponent¡¯s attack.
And, I better not defend with the head-butt as in Mr. Aka¡¯s case when facing that sickle.
Then, minutely swinging the head, lean forward and jump in.
¡°Let¡¯s go! ¡¾Great Demon Goosestep¡¿!¡±
¡°Koi¡±
First of all, in a straight line. There, Mantis¡¯s reaction was slightly disced.
And from the middle distance, with both eyes open, that sickle¡.
¡°Won¡¯t let¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Just then, Mantis¡¯ outstretched arm was swung at my leg¡ hey, long! If the arm is extended, it¡¯s longer than expected!
Moreover, it tried to get at my feet as I stepped in ¡ not good, if it hits. Because this is a sickle, so if it hits¡
¡°Soiya!¡±
I had no choice but to jump and avoid it.
However, at the moment I flew, Mantis¡¯ other arm was thrust out, and the sharp tip of the sickle was¡ aiming at my eyeballs¡
¡°Hey just!?¡±
¡°Haiiiiii!!¡±
The sickle was thrust out with a strange Mantis call.
Quickly, while in the air, I twisted and spun my whole body. However, I couldn¡¯t avoid it. Hot, it hurt, my head, face? What about the eyes? Eyes¡¡
¡°Bastard¡¡±
¡°Haiiii!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Can¡¯t open my eyes? Blood? Were they crushed? My eyeballs?
I performed an Ukeminding and hit my back, but the premonition that the eyeballs may have been crushed sent a strong chill down my spine. But¡¡
¡°Ho~¡ s, safe¡¡±
Apparently, I cut my eyelids a little. Because I got blood in my eyes, I couldn¡¯t open it for a moment. But there¡¯s no problem with the eyes.
However, as relieved as I was, my tension increased.
¡°He, hee, bastard¡ really¡¡ you suddenly go for your opponent¡¯s eyeballs in battle?¡±
¡°¡¡ to avoid¡¡ even so, capable.¡±
The opponent¡¯s vital point. Of course there are things like the eyeballs, or if you¡¯re a man, the n¡ñthers. but I don¡¯t have the ¡®nerve¡¯ to attack them with all my might. I¡¯d hesitate.
¡ºFool. Your peripheral field of view is narrow. Do you think your opponent is merely arger humanoid? The arms are shaped and jointed differently. If you make a wrong assumption, you will get hurt, will you not?¡»
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡ºAnd this is true Martial Arts. Relentlessly aiming at the vital point of the human body and surely dispatching the opponent¡. The art of killing. To ruthlessly exploit your opponent¡¯s weaknesses and execute them¡. tis not a fight, you are killing each other.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar points out my naivety due to my motivation for a fight. Sure, the opponent was cool and didn¡¯t seem up for a very violent fight.
¡ºAre you ready? The Mantis¡¯ fighting ability is among the highest of all races.¡»
¡°Haiiiiiii!¡±
¡°Sure, I¡¯m still receiving advice from beyond!¡±
While I was still in the middle of listening to Tre¡¯ainar, this time Mantis stepped in towards me, and it¡¯s absurdly fast!
¡°Tsu!?¡±
The sickle was swung down. That was a close one, too. If I didn¡¯t take half a step back, deep cut. He was aiming at my neck. However, a second and third blow came even during such a horrifying situation.
¡ºThe body suitable forbat. The speed to find prey and jump in¡¡»
Not good, I couldn¡¯t get a counter. I could only dodge.
¡ºAnd, the strength to sustain that super speed and hold the prey once caught, and never to let go¡ the jaw that bites the prey¡¡»
¡°D, do, don¡¯t push it!¡±
The straight line movement is troublesome. Then, I¡¯ll lead it around with my footwork.
From the blind spot, as if drawing a circle around it¡
¡°See you¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
When I tried to turn left and right, it moved its head in response to me.
Can you see my movements?
¡ºYes, it can. That field of viewpletely captures the surroundings.¡»
This is Mantis. Speed. Strength. Wide field of view. In addition¡¡
¡ºFurthermore, this Mantis has mastered the Praying Mantis Demon Fist.¡»
¡°I mean, that¡¯s usually a miss!!!!¡±
I want to scream ¡°It¡¯s a Miss¡±. I mean, this Mantis is preposterously strong, right?
¡ºThat is why tis a win, child.¡»
¡°Ah?¡±
¡ºAnd, from now on, I shall give you rules, child.¡»
When I shouted myint, Tre¡¯ainar smiled.
And¡..
¡ºIn this battle¡ the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, the ¡¾Breakthrough¡¿, and all other magic are prohibited.¡»
¡°Ha, wh-what?¡±
¡ºOverwhelm that Mantis with your living flesh.¡»
Even at the best of times, I would consider myself in a pinch, yet he made an unreasonable demand on me.
No way, I was thinking of using the Breakthrough normally from now on, right?
¡°Hold on, n, no matter what happens?¡±
That¡¯s too harsh. That¡¯s what I was going to say, but Tre¡¯ainar had a serious expression¡
¡ºYou exchanged blows head-on with that extremely capable ogre. And this time, you can fight the Mantis, who has excellent overall strength and killing prowess. You can get a great deal of experience here before you leave the Empire and set out into the world.¡»
¡°The World¡¡±
¡ºYes, child. Do not be a delinquent that stays in your hometown forever. Surpass this Mantis, take the step to the next level, and then go to the world!¡»
Come now, not only advice, but also words that inspire me. Really, my master is¡
¡ºTo that end, take advantage of this precious opportunity. Not to defeat the opponent, but to bring out all from the opponent, and then see everything with your own eyes, and then win. You can do it.¡»
¡°I¡ can¡¡±
It¡¯s strange. That was the most powerful thing I¡¯ve ever heard.
Those words were the best¡ I shouldn¡¯t worry about doing it!
¡°Right! Focus! Come on, praying mantis!¡±
¡°¡¡ loud¡. cocky¡. but¡¡ child sure gutsy¡±
At my cry, Mantis ¡. did youugh a little? It felt like it.
No, I¡¯m more focused than that now.
¡°Here I go¡±
¡°Come!¡±
An instant dive. It¡¯s fast after all. And from here, it used a sickle tounch an irregr attack.
It is a little different from the two sword style of swordsmanship.
Not only does it sh with the sickle, but it also goes for grabs and pierces.
Moreover, it is not possible to block it. It¡¯ll cut through the guarding arm.
Then, it is possible to dodge it.
Use the upper body deflection such as the sway.
¡°Avoid skillful¡ Good eyes¡¡±
¡°Well, even if you praise me all of a sudden, I¡¯ll only give you a fist!¡±
Avoidance by anticipating with Mantis¡¯ arm shape and reach in mind. However, it is troublesome because it¡¯s just fast and it even made irregr attack patterns.
However, if you can get through it, you can jump into the pocket¡.
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
I finally reached his pocket through a sickle storm, and from there I threw the upper that thrusts the opponent¡¯s chin in one fell swoop.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Pusha!?¡±
It¡¯s not just the upper. I¡¯ll beat you as much as I can right now.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Hook¡¿!¡±
¡°Byab!?¡±
I could still go on. No, better yet, it¡¯s a series of hits!
¡°¡¾Great Demon Rush¡¿!!¡±
¡°Goh?!¡±
¡°Uruaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! At this rate, you¡¯re going down!!¡±
The wall of fists. From the top, below, left and right at high speed.
Tre¡¯ainar told me to pull out the opponent¡¯s strength, but it doesn¡¯t matter if it gets decided here.
Angle, power, the response I got¡
¡°Hurts¡±
At that time, Mantis¡¯ neck, which had been receiving my rush, was turned towards me.
¡°Wha!?¡±
It¡¯s not very effective!? No, on the contrary, not good!
¡°Catch you¡±
¡°Gah, geh!?¡±
It held me tightly with both hands.
Too close!?
Held by the sickle arm, the protrusion of the saw-like arms bit into the skin, stabbing in, and I couldn¡¯t peel off the strong arm force!
¡°Tsu, Y, you!¡±
¡°At this rate I eat¡±
A sharp jaw opens. Bite? No, it¡¯s on the level of chewing¡ I¡¯m going to be eaten!?
¡°Guaaaah! Gu, y, you! tsu, Guaaaah!!¡±
Neck? No, shoulder flesh. Just ahead of the head, I somehow moved my shoulder¡ but it really bit me!
It¡¯s so hot that my shoulders burn! Ouch!
¡°Not struggle, die¡±
¡°Oh, tsu, hey! Gu, oh¡ Gu¡¡±
This time, the flesh of the shoulder on the other side¡. Just¡ is the fellow serious?
¡°Die¡±
Both shoulders were hot. Blood gushed out. The pain is¡ quite¡
¡°You, bastard¡¡±
¡°End, Next Die ¡°
¡°Huh!?¡±
Ah, far from biting, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve experienced being eaten. What¡¯s more, Mantis¡
This is bad, bite again¡ breakthrough, no. It¡¯s not good.
No, but if I follow those rules¡
So¡.. Break the rules?
It¡¯s not the kind of thing you should trade your life for.
Yes, now is not the time to follow such discipline.
I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll forgive me¡
¡°¡¡ tch¡ damn¡¡±
And yet, why?
Why, at a time like this¡ do I remember Bro being beat up?
I¡¯m not a delinquent, but¡ for some reason¡ not a rule that someone else decided on their own¡. if I break the rule I agreed to¡. somehow¡
¡°Shaaaahh!!¡±
It felt like I¡¯m losing.
Aah, I don¡¯t want to lose.
The hoodlums¡ Bro¡. and¡ he said, ¡®I can do it¡¯, and I don¡¯t want them to be disappointed.
Ah, when I thought so, Mantis¡¯ fangs, trying to bite me with arge jaw open in front of me, looked in slow motion.
Is this what it¡¯s like on the verge of entering a runaway of death? No, it¡¯s not. There was no mystery or fear.
¡°Ho¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Huh? Someone¡¯s voice this time? Whose¡ Hmm? Somehow, a masked woman ran over here with a Kunai¡ Hey, you¡ What are you¡
¡°¨D¨D¨D¨Dney¡±
What do you say, ¡°Honey? Who¡¯s Honey? I mean, why are you in a ce like this, no way, hey is this fellow¡ trying to help me?
¡°Tch.¡±
Involuntarily, I clicked my tongue. What the hell. I dared to battle in high spirits with the intention of fighting, and I got in a pinch enough for a woman to rush in to try to help me?
Don¡¯t be silly. Don¡¯t look down on me.
I might die.
I might lose.
Once I¡¯ve decided on the rules, I won¡¯t break them!
¡°¡so funny!!¡±
Take a look at it. I seemed to bepletely held, but there is quite a bit of space and freedom.
It is different from the joint technique between humans.
That¡¯s right. Originally, Mantis¡¯ body was not supposed to be human.
I can¡¯t pull the hold off, but I can stretch my hands.
Then I¡¯ll throw my fist. Where? Belly? Face? Centerpiece? Mouth? No, more like¡
¡°Ohhhhh!¡±
¡°Hebu¡¯!?¡±
The moment Mantis stuck out its face and was about to bite my head off, I gave it a short upper at the boundary between the head and chest.
¡ºHoh~. Not a bad point to focus your attention, child. Mantis¡¡ Rather, the praying mantis has the feature of being able to move its head at a wide angle. However, because of that, the boundary between the head and chest is made softer.¡»
It¡¯s a counter to someone who has opened their mouth.
Even though the structure was different from ordinary humans¡
¡°Ga, Kak¡ brat¡¡±
¡°Hehe¡¡±
It worked better than expected. Mantis broke free of my restraints and retreated back to escape and keep his distance.
And I¡
¡°Hah~, hah~¡ Hey, whoever you are¡. don¡¯t put your hands on this, okay?¡±
The moment I said that, while in a Kunai throwing stance, that fellow¡. Shinobu froze.
¡°Ho, honey¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry to have worried you, but¡ I, too. I want to stick to the rules that I decided once I agreed to it. I¡¯m not a hoodlum, and I¡¯m not going to be a hoodlum¡. I don¡¯t want to lose to a hoodlum.¡±
That¡¯s right. As long as Bro was living like that, I didn¡¯t want to lose either.
So, I will stick through that.
Also¡¡
¡°Somehow, right now¡ I¡¯m feeling pretty good. So¡.. why don¡¯t you just rx and watch?¡±
¡°Honey¡ da, dazzling¡ ah, it¡¯s so lovely¡¡±
Yes, I fell into a strange feeling a little while ago.
Somehow, at the verge of death, the world seemed like in slow motion.
Then what was that about?
¡°¡¡ Well, let¡¯s keep going, Mantis. Come on, it¡¯s the second round! Or did you get scared, Gora!¡±
Somehow, fear and tension disappeared, and I was rather excited and itching to fight.
To me who is in such a condition¡.
¡ºFu, fufufu¡ tis pretty simple when ites to the master¡¯s satisfaction, tis quite adorable¡ child¡¡go ¡®in¡¯.¡»
As if to say whatever he wanted, Tre¡¯ainar wasughing in good spirits.
¡°Brat¡ cheeky.¡±
Mantis, who once distanced itself from me, also fell for my provocation and attacked.
But¡¡
¡°Haiiii! Hai hai hai hai, haiiiiiii!!¡±
Wild strikes thatbined thrusts and shes. They were unleashed from various angles, but¡.
¡°Heh, if I don¡¯t get so confused by tricky movements¡ it¡¯s slower than Rebal.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not nearly as powerful as Mr. Aka.¡±
My mind was clear and things were going as I imagined them.
Even the fast, tricky, and unknown attacks that tossed me up to a while ago, I could read up to two or three moves ahead.
And, my body also moved as I imagined, and became even sharper.
I wonder what it is, this feeling.
It¡¯s a little different from the breakthrough, but now I felt like everything went the way I wanted it to.
I didn¡¯t feel like hitting anymore.
¡°What are you doing, Toulowe, Skevern! Now it¡¯s better to flee than seek revenge! We¡¯re going to get out of here!¡±
But, then I heard an unscrupulous voice.
It¡¯s the cyclops that released from its restraint with these guys¡. What was it again?
¡°I¡¯ll knock you out, kid! This is justifiable self-defens ¨D¨D¨D¨Dpeh¡±
¡°You¡¯re in the way.¡±
The Cyclops suddenly tried to attack me from behind in order to get rid of me, but I already understood the movementpletely.
When I noticed it, I turned around and released a jab, struck out the jaw of the muscr cyclops, and it dropped to its knee on the spot.
¡°¡Wha¡eh?¡±
¡°Bowei! Brat¡¡ sudden motion¡¡ how?¡±
The copsed cyclops¡¯ whole body started to twitch, and seemed unable to move properly, so it couldn¡¯t stand up immediately.
And looked up at me with puzzled eyes.
I was ted and said to them.
¡°So, do you want to escape? I¡¯m generous so you¡¯re free to do so.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Then, Mantis began to quiver at my remark.
¡°Noisy¡ human¡. humans¡. all¡. die.¡±
¡°¡¡Ah?¡±
¡°Human¡ won¡¯t forgive¡±
Anger? No, this is¡ hatred? A grudge?
Oh, that¡¯s not good. He¡¯s probably going to give his backstory, isn¡¯t he?
¡°I¡ when young above ground¡¡ caught¡ coward trap¡¡ caught¡ Rich Buy¡¡ for sport¡¡ torment¡¡±
See! Seeee! Seeeeee!
¡°Escape. But caught again. Many people surround. Put in jail. Torment again. You not mock. For all that For all that For all that! So, Human die!¡±
At first it was fierce, but then it was a cool killer, and now this¡. what¡ highly emotional Mantis, isn¡¯t it?
Although¡¡
¡°Oh, that has ¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
It had nothing to do with me, and I knew that¡ I tried to say it, but the words failed me.
Because¡¡ somehow, thanks to the needless speech¡. I remembered¡. those words.
¨D¨DEarth is¡ small, but¡¡ after all¡¡ so great, so amazing¡
It would ruin the words that were said at that time.
¡°¡Heh¡such a thing! It¡¯s okay. I won¡¯t say that¡. Mr. Aka.¡±
In that situation, I wouldn¡¯t be able to face Mr. Aka.
That¡¯s why I swallowed the words that came to me.
¡°I can¡¯t¡ apologize for your past¡ and even though I was born in the Imperial City and grew up in the Imperial City¡ still, I don¡¯t have the power to do anything about the adults who built the Empire today¡ but¡¡ at least¡¡±
¡°¡Brat?¡±
The clothes are bloody, okay? Even if I take them off.
I took off my shirt and pulled out my trouser pockets to show that there¡¯s nothing in it.
¡°At least I¡ I¡¯ll fight without traps, weapons, magic, let alone someone else¡¯s help. I¡¯ll take your rampage and anxiety in a fair and forceful manner, Mantis!¡±
And, that¡¯s when I finally realized.
Ah¡ is that right? That¡¯s why he¡ Bro¡ put his body up like this¡ I did the same thing to Mr. Aka at that time¡
Not only this Mantis. That dark elf too, she feels the same about human beings¡. About the Empire¡. so, surely this cyclops¡ and the goblin¡ hmm? Where¡¯s the goblin?
¡°¡¡ Mantis¡¡ wrong. Tribe Name¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I¡ Toulowe ¡ name, that is.¡±
And that was the time. Mantis said his name to me.
Not the name of the race, it¡¯s just as if you were telling me to say your name.
That¡¯s why, as a courtesy¡
¡°Earth. That¡¯s my name.¡±
¡°¡¡ remember¡±
I gave my name too. And then we set up each other again¡
¡°Let¡¯s go. This time, it¡¯s the gong of the final round. Come on, Toulowe!¡±
¡°Koi, Earth¡±
We went out to fight each other.
Chapter 84 – Common Language
Chapter 84 ¨C Common Language
Tranted by: Sads07
Mantis...... No, Toulowe¡¯s thrust was unleashed with terrible instantaneous power.
The sharp de swung and missed, only the sound of it cutting the air was heard, and a vacuum wave flew.
If you can do it in session, it¡¯ll be aplete storm.
¡°Haiiiii!¡±
¡°eto¡±
I avoided it by just a skin¡¯s depth, and I also increased the speed while throwing a series of left hits.
Avoid Toulowe¡¯s attack, keep an eye out, find an opening on it, and thrust my right.
For that purpose, I can¡¯t stop my hands and feet.... I guess that¡¯s the theory, but....
¡°eh... Earth...¡±
I¡¯m flesh and blood. A single hit would be fatal. Death may be a matter of course.
I won¡¯t underestimate such a thing.
I can¡¯t let my guard down in the slightest.
The task wore down each and every nerve.
But I wonder why....
¡°Honey! Don¡¯t stop, you have to use your feet more, or you¡¯ll get caught again!¡±
Before I knew it, I stopped dead in my tracks.
Toulowe¡¯s sickle, which elerated further, attacked me, and Shinobu¡¯s voice echoed.
But. I stopped deliberately.
¡°...... dear...¡±
¡°...... Wh, what¡¯s going on? Toulowe...¡±
Hmm? Were Bro and the Dark Elf staring at this fight before they knew it.
Somehow, the dark elf was sitting on the floor as if exhausted, did they have a fight?
¡°... Toulowe¡¯s attacks... steadily elerated faster... but... not a single blow...¡±
The cyclops was in a dumbfounded state. Apparently, the people around me have turned their attention to this situation.
¡°...... not hit...¡±
Toulowe blurted out as he unleashed a fierce sh.
Yes, even if I stopped, I didn¡¯t eat Toulowe¡¯s sickle any more.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°eh, tsu, this!?¡±
No matter how sharp a sickle or sword is, there is a ¡®bulge¡¯.
If you hit your fist directly against the de, you will hurt your fist, but if you hit the ¡®bulge¡¯, there is no problem.
Therefore, I used the flicker to hit the ¡®de bulge¡¯ as the de that was swung down or thrust out, and knocked it off.
¡°Ho, Honey ... is dispelling that Mantis demon fist ... with one hand ...?¡±
Oh, I can see the trajectory perfectly now.
¡ºYou havee... to ¡®Enter¡¯...the ¡®Zone¡¯... at that time, the battle against the Second Sword Saint is being reenacted... to repeat at this level once more...¡»
At that time, the voice of Tre¡¯ainar, who seemed to be in a good mood, reached my ear. Well, that¡¯s far from the point. Don¡¯t let your guard down. Focus, concentrate.
¡ºDynamic visual acuity ... Peripheral vision ... and..... the fight with Aka, and it bloomed at the end of this battle... ¡®Spatial Awareness¡¯... to grasp the existence around oneself... everything from the speed, size and even the sense of distance... so long as you enter the extreme concentration state of the Zone ... child ... no one will be able to catch you anymore!¡»
I¡¯m not simply going to ward it off any more.
The moment Toulowe attacked and tried to pull his arm back, I will inconspicuously dive in all at once.
¡°Here!¡±
A huge and strong body. Half-hearted blows will not work. Earlier, I did damage by aiming at the neck, but Toulowe was also quick to guard against that.
So I had to aim for another point.
And now that everything looked slow, my field of view is wide, and my concentration has increased, I realized that looking closely at Toulowe¡¯s body, there¡¯s a spot where I can hit as much as I want.
¡°Gieeeh!?¡±
¡°And again!¡±
¡°Fugi!?¡±
It¡¯s the ¡®joint¡¯ of the foot. It seems that the joints are the only part of the body that can¡¯t be trained.
Under normal circumstances, the joints of Toulowe¡¯s legs, which are muchrger than mine, are at a position where it¡¯s easier to aim and strike at than a body blow against a human.
The moment I punched him, a distorted voice leaked out of Toulowe.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Your leg is twitching like a newborn foal! Are you giving up? Is that the best you got?¡±
¡°eh...... shut up! Not yet!¡±
The moment I agitated him, Toulowe, who was about to copse for a moment, raised his sickle with an uppercut from below.
The sickle passed by my face, as I dodged at thest minute with the sway.
¡°Heh, that¡¯s right! It¡¯s not over yet!¡±
My legs stopped. But my hands haven¡¯t stopped yet.
At first he was puzzled by me, but again, Toulowe¡¯s fighting spirit was ignited.
¡°How many days?¡± How many months? How many years? How much has it umted?¡±
¡°Haiiii!¡± Hai hai hai hai hai hai hai!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t put it in words, just let it out!¡±
¡°Noisy!¡±
There¡¯s no point hitting someone who has lost the will to fight.
But if he¡¯s still giving his best... if he hasn¡¯t burned out yet... I¡¯ll fan that spark.
¡°You, push luck!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
Ah, did I push it too far? When he jumped into my pocket, I thought it was an upper with the left sickle, but as I was focusing on the bottom and he actually tried to swing his right down from above.
If that was the case, it will hit. But if I jump now, I could avoid it.
But...... even if I charge in like this...
¡°¡¾Great Demon Cork Screw Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Bpupu!?¡±
I rushed in regardless, and threw a right cork screw to Toulowe¡¯s body. A half-hearted punch won¡¯t work, so add a twist to increase the prating power.
And at the same time, blood spilled out from my face ....
¡°tte~... you cut me... but, shallow!¡±
¡°you... on purpose...¡±
Toulowe¡¯s sickle shed my cheek. But after all, it¡¯s just the cheek. It hurts, but it¡¯s not a fatal wound.
Rather, it was more of a risk to jump in haphazardly and lose my stance for fear of being injured.
I wouldn¡¯t have thought or calcted like this before.... but today my head is buzzing.
¡°Hehe, how¡¯s that? Manly, right?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right... if a man is afraid of one or two injuries... how can he go out into the world?¡±
And, because it jumped in without fear of the injury, Toulowe¡¯s body wobbled for a moment by the blow.
Now was the time to strike.
¡°So~~~~reeeee!! ¡¾Great Demon Rush¡¿!!¡±
The high-speed rush of lefts and rights were beat into the body.
Toulowe¡¯s weak point might be his neck, but I don¡¯t have to aim for it.
Already in the fight against Toulowe, he was struck with a smash, corkscrew and body blow.
Then, with this barrage of hits...
¡°Earth... Gah, Gu, same point...¡±
Yes, don¡¯t just hit the body. Focus on the same points that I¡¯ve hit so far.
That way, the umted punches....
¡°I¡¯ll blow a hole in You!¡±
¡°Picuaaa!¡±
¡°...... oh?¡±
Then, Toulowe finally jumped back, and retreated with some distance from me to escape.
Apparently, he still had enough legs to jump?
¡°Gih... gugi. brat...¡±
¡°...... heh, you¡¯re looking down on me just because I¡¯m a kid, right?¡±
Toulowe stared at me like he¡¯s grinding his teeth.
However, he was unlikely to let the momentum get the better of him and jump on me again or anything.
Toulowe¡¯s legs seemed to have already reached their limits.
He was beaten with my fist, his body was hurt and his movement was already dull.
And then......
¡°Fu, ha, fuhahahahahah, g-good, Earth, that¡¯s right, viciously beat that bug and capture it right away, that it is!¡±
...just as I was feeling better, a pig¡¯s hoarse voice sounded.
¡°H-Here, if you do the credit for saving me and catching the bug, I¡¯ll do you the favor of permitting you in the Imperial City again ¨D¨D¨D¨D.¡±
¡°Shut up, damn piiiiiiiig!!¡±
So, I said that. I shouted a foul-mouthed word at the Minister from a prestigious family.
¡°P, Pig... pig?! Wh, who are...? Earth! You shit, w-who the hell, who are you talking about?¡±
¡°So, Shut it! Me... this guy and... it doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re human, demon, or hoodlum, we all speak themonnguage called ¡®fighting¡¯.... don¡¯t interrupt with your pignguage.¡±
Yes, you¡¯re a nuisance.
We¡¯re shing with each other.
I won¡¯t let anyone interfere with this.
¡°...... Human too...¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°That... see as pig?¡±
At that time, Toulowe asked me so.
Thinking a little bit about it....
¡°Well... no, maybe it¡¯s disrespectful to pigs, right? Pigs are really smart creatures.¡±
¡°...... I see.... Earth...... violent but.... amusing.¡±
¡°Heh, is that so... hey, wait a minute! V-Violent, you cut me, bit my shoulder, you¡¯ve gone beyond violent and into savage, you know!¡±
¡°Wrong. Earth scary¡±
¡°Wha... haha...... geez... don¡¯t lose focus and chat in the middle of a fight.¡±
I also felt rxed for a moment and smiled bitterly at the friendly conversation between the acts of the fight.
I wonder if it¡¯s the same with Toulowe, as a somewhat subtle atmosphere flowed.
However.....
¡°But we still have to settle this.¡±
¡°...... I know...¡±
Yes, it¡¯s not over yet. Even Toulowe hasn¡¯t gone all out yet.
¡°I catch... you okay...¡±
¡°...... So..... don¡¯t say things like that in the middle of a fight.¡±
¡°...... catch.... can agree...¡±
He felt a little eager to die.
¡°Toulowe... it may be cheesy, but I sympathize with your situation... it was bad luck to be caught and spotted by the minister.... that¡¯s why he¡¯s special, not everyone in the Empire is like that.... oh, I can¡¯t tell you what I am... I am me, and I left the Imperial Capital because I couldn¡¯t stand a lot of things.¡±
¡°...... Earth too.¡±
¡°And... I can¡¯t say I¡¯m going to save you... can¡¯t tell you that I¡¯m going to let you get out of here and take you to the Demon Realm... I can¡¯t change anything right now. But...... so the least I can do now.... is put my body on the line and get along with you.... all the way to the end.¡±
¡°...... understand¡±
But no matter what happens, there is no objection to the fight now on either side.
¡°This is my strongest blow¡±
And, Toulowe opened his legs wide and was poised. With trembling feet, you can¡¯t jump in, but you can firmly support your body.
Without taking a step back, he took a stance as if to intercept me.
In other words, I¡¯m the one who shoulde first.
Then, I alsounch the strongest blow which jumps in without fearing for injury or life.
¡°Let¡¯s go! ¡¾Great Demon Jolt Blow¡¿!¡±
Like throwing yourself out, a full swing with the power and weight of the whole body!
¡°¡¾Praying Mantis Demolition Fist¡¿!!¡±
I was intercepted, with all his might, Toulowe put his strength into one mid-level thrust.
Unlike previous high-speed attacks, he focused his strength on a single point.
The thrust deeply dug into my side as I jumped in....
¡°Bhugug!!??¡±
By that amount, my Jolt pierced the same point even deeper, without an inch of difference ....
¡°...... Pu, pu... oof.¡±
Finally, my kneepletely copsed and Toulowe went down.
And Toulowe...
¡°...... not win.... enough............... give up...... Earth strong...¡±
In the end, that was all he said, and fell down on the spot with a thud.
Like that, my rival....
¡°I¡¯m the one... who is grateful... thanks to you... I will move on to the next stage.¡±
I expressed gratitude for my growth and dered that I would move forward.

Chapter 85 ¨C Another Conclusion
Tranted by: Sads07
In the excitement of the battle, there isn¡¯t much pain. The fangs were thrust into both shoulders, the side was gouged, and warm blood was felt.
But now, the aftertaste of the victory that I earned was greater.
¡°Honey!¡±
The woman who watched over me like that.... well, it¡¯s Shinobu, but she came running up to me.
¡°You¡¯re overdoing it again... seriously, you¡¯re like that red Oni.... I¡¯ll treat you right now...but it¡¯s so cool...your bare bloodstained body, a really nice treat, thank you.¡±
Shinobu ran up to me with an angry, excited attitude.
But before I get that treatment first...
¡°Shinobu...... treat Toulowe.¡±
¡°...... Yes?¡±
¡°...... Ea...... Earth?¡±
I asked her to give Toulowe treatment, who still couldn¡¯t stand up, rather than me.
Both Shinobu and Toulowe seemed to be surprised at my words.
¡°Honey... what are you...with how much this Mantis has done to you?¡±
¡°...... Well, that¡¯s okay, isn¡¯t it? My fight with this guy is over already.... I don¡¯t want to deal with future consequences.¡±
¡°B, but...¡±
¡°...... please ...... Shinobu¡±
She seemed a little hesitant, but when I bowed my head down, Shinobu suddenly started to flutter.
¡°Hah~... that¡¯s terrible, you.... taking advantage of my weakness.... I realized that it¡¯s true that the one who falls in love first loses.¡±
¡°...I-Is that so...¡±
¡°So, you could at least respond to the exchange diary in earnest.¡±
Saying that, Shinobu walked over to Toulowe.
To be honest, she said some things that were too straightforward for me to react to.
I¡¯m so embarrassed.
¡°Now...¡±
First of all, I left Shinobu alone, and when I looked back, I found Bro and the Dark Elf, both of whom seemed to have already settled the matter.
¡°Hey, good work, brother.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t screw around. Who¡¯s a brother? Like I¡¯d want a dumb big brother I can¡¯t understand.¡±
¡°Kakkakka, don¡¯t be like that~. But it was a good fight. I just want us to exchange a sibling¡¯s cup.¡±
¡°Humph, you must be joking.¡±
It seemed he had a good in its own right, and Bro was smiling, though he was injured. Well, Chitsue¡¯s escorts originally attacked him.
And the somewhat sullen-looking Dark Elf sat down upon the floor with a sigh.
¡°What a mess... I thought I¡¯d go back to the Demon Realm after rampaging as much as revenge on humans, this mess... quickly, kill me, vite me, do as you please, it¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°Hey hey, don¡¯t carelessly say things like that.¡±
¡°Wh-what?¡±
¡°I mean, that was a pretty cool fight, even for a girl.¡±
¡°...tch ... what are you talking about, you ...¡±
The dark elf Skevern, who didn¡¯t show any intention to resist, seemed resigned.
Even though things appeared to bepletely settled now.... I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible....
¡°Do you shake hands when the fight is over? This is the Surface world... though you¡¯re a half-breed, but if you inherited the blood of a demon, you understand what¡¯s going to happen after this, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Yeah...¡±
¡°It¡¯s over...I¡¯m done...¡±
¡°.................. ¡°
¡°Or are you going to help me? I can¡¯t... I¡¯m not motivated to join hands with such a person....¡±
Skevern said so in a self-mocking and offhanded manner.
At that speech, as expected even Bro was at a loss for words.
And that was the time.
¡°Waha, wahahahahahaha! Really, you all caused such a stir only to go meek in the end, bunch of freaks, see!¡±
As soon as the scene had finally settled, Chitsue barged into the ce.
Yes, this guy is here.
¡°Earth, you¡¯ll be punished for insulting me, Bro, you¡¯ll pay for disobeying me, but... First of all, you, ah you guys! The insect will be used in Duel Monsters until it dies, and Skevern will be kept in an underground brothel as a pervert utility for the rest of her life, that they will!¡±
¡°Minister Chitsue...you know...¡±
¡°Shut up, Bro, I won¡¯t listen to you anymore!¡±
He¡¯s so full of rage that the aftertaste of the victory earned with great pains was erased splendidly.
Now......
¡°Good Grief... So, what are you gonna do, Bro? Will you still go on with your distinction rhetoric and earn this pig¡¯s pocket money in this gambling den as before?¡±
¡°...... You... ¡°
¡°Skevern, and Toulowe too, as things are they can return to their original lives again.... no, they¡¯ve knocked up a more miserable life, and you¡¯re just going to linger in your hometown like you always have? Even if it¡¯s a hoodlum, would you also say that?¡±
Bro was unusually silent to the question, which included my sarcasm.
Yes, he was puzzled by this too.
¡°When ites to this point, the level of talk is different from baguette head¡¯s direct sales. And you already know that, don¡¯t you? Toulowe and Skevern... and the matter with this minister, it won¡¯t be solved simply by bowing your head, taking responsibility and getting beaten the hell up.¡±
It doesn¡¯t matter to me what happens to this gambling den or what happens to the hoodlums. It didn¡¯t matter.
As for Toulowe, I didn¡¯t feel like taking him to the Demon Realm or letting him escape.
However, I will strike it with all my might. That was about it.
As for Bro, even if I couldn¡¯t agree with him, I felt like we could at least handle this issue together.
¡°I mean, I haven¡¯t been around as long as you have, but I know that much even if I don¡¯t know the world as much as you do.¡±
¡°Certainly... maybe so...but...... even so I can¡¯t simply abandon it, this harsh ce...¡±
¡°I know. Whatever the reason, you¡¯re somitted to this town and this ce that you would risk your life.... I understand that resolution... but you can¡¯t afford to live like that.¡±
But then I say.
¡°At first, I wasn¡¯t motivated to go that far with Toulowe. It¡¯s just a matter of fighting as an enemy ... and giving cheap sympathy, or at the very least, a serious fight. But, strangely, with Toulowe, maybe because we shed with each other with all our might... even if he was a criminal... already ... iming ¡®It¡¯s nothing to do with me¡¯ was no longer enough.¡±
Now that the fight is over, my heart was as shaken as it was before the fight.
¡°Hah~...that¡¯s right.... from hating each other, to acknowledging each other before we realized... to exchange fists and before you know it, you be good friends...there are fights like that once in a while.... can¡¯t stop them. And? What are you going to do?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not asking you what to do. I¡¯m just going to do this.¡±
With that said, I stood in front of the Toulowe who couldn¡¯t get up after being treated by Shinobu, as if to face Chitsue.
¡°Earth... you... what are you doing...are you?¡±
¡°You... what are you trying to do to my rival?¡±
¡°You...do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡±
What am I doing? It means that I¡¯m opposing an Imperial Minister.
The opposition to the minister is, so to speak, an act of betrayal to the Empire.
Well, it¡¯s toote now.......
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter to me about hoodlum rules or responsibilities. I won¡¯t let a pig like you take away a rival who I had a decent fight with .... I, still have much more before we¡¯re done! So you want to use Toulowe until he dies in this gambling den? Then, such a rotten ce, I¡¯ll crush it!!¡±
¡°Wh, wha... what will you do!?¡±
That was my answer.
That¡¯s why......
¡°You... crush... hey hey...¡±
¡°That¡¯s why... let¡¯s settle this... Bro..... right now, the way you hoodlums tend to....¡±
¡°What!?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t bend. You don¡¯t break. You even risk your life. That¡¯s why you can¡¯t change your mind and let go of this gambling den, right?¡±
A man who sticks to himself, shows no weakness, and just continues to live as a hoodlum.
That figure showed me a way of life as a man that I had never seen before.
That¡¯s why I¡¯ve already understood that he¡¯s not the kind of guy who can do this with words.
¡°I¡¯ll make that decision by force.¡±
In the end, this is the only way to go.
¡°You...with your body like that, you still...?¡±
¡°This is just fine. You¡¯re the same to begin with.¡±
We were both in tatters. However, the only way to decide the future from here is to use our bodies to sh with each other.
¡°...... You and I are going to settle it.¡±
¡°Hmm... if you win, we¡¯ll disband... if I win, we¡¯ll be as good as ever.... that how you want it to be settled?¡±
What to do from here on out?
I told him that if he was already a delinquent, he should act like a delinquent and leave it to the winner of the fight from here on out.
¡°Wha-, h, hey, Earth! Bro! Y-You guys, wh, why are you ignoring me...what are you doing, to do?¡±
¡°Ha? He? Hold on, what¡¯s happening? Aren¡¯t you guys friends?¡±
¡°Honey?¡±
¡°Earth...¡±
Of course, everyone in this ce was surprised with a look of dismay.
But it can¡¯t be helped. This is the only way.
Regardless of the pain engraved all over the body, simply throw everything with this body at the opponent.
So you¡¯re okay with lifting the restrictions, right? Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºDear me...¡»
With this power that was sealed when I fought Toulowe, I¡¯ll give Bro some guidance.
¡°And I¡¯ll finish it in an instant! ¡¾Breakthrough¡¿!!¡±
Even if my body suffered a lot of injury, I can use it enough because I didn¡¯t use any magic power.
All that¡¯s left is to throw myself out without fear, just like before.
¡°..... Geez.... you¡¯re dazzling, you¡¯re really... I wouldn¡¯t have let you meekly stay a delinquent.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk like you can dream forever!¡±
I kicked the floor hard and jumped at Bro. I didn¡¯t use small tricks anymore, such as shifting the timing in steps.
I just ran straight to Bro.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Oraaaa!¡±
¡°tch, uooooooh! ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Crescent Kick¡¿!!¡±
Counter with a front kick. It¡¯s driven into my liver.... But...
¡°Gah... d, don¡¯t care!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Temple¡¿!¡±
For a moment, I was stopped by Bro¡¯s foot, but I didn¡¯t care, moved forward and hit a blow into his defenseless temple.
¡°Tsu, gu... you...¡±
¡°Hehe, I learned from the fight against Toulowe. When we had fought in town... I tried to avoid all of your kicking techniques, so there was a lot of useless movements and I was tossed around. So if I jump in like this without fear of being hit a little, I can do as much as I want!¡±
Bro, who rolled down the floor after being struck by my fist, smiled while distorting his face in pain.
He looked like he¡¯s going to say ¡°You did it¡± to the way I let him cut my flesh and bone.
¡°Geez, growing up in such a short time...I envy you! ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Three-Stage Series Roundhouse Kick¡¿!!¡±
¡°If you stay in the same ce forever, you won¡¯t be able to do it!¡±
¡°Ke, you don¡¯t know anything about my life!¡±
¡°Let your feet do the talking! Hoodlum Hoodlum Hoodlum, you use the word Hoodlum as a convenient excuse!¡±
Tre¡¯ainar said that the kick has three times as much power as the punch.
In other words, it wasn¡¯t worth taking one shot to give one punch back.
I¡¯m the one who¡¯s going to get hurt first.
But I can¡¯t fall down.
¡°I don¡¯t use being hoodlum as an excuse...you may not understand this way of life I¡¯m living... but because of how we are, this ce that we got is more important than anything else...it may look like a rotten lust-filled space swirling with filthy human desires to you, but it¡¯s a treasure to us. That¡¯s why we can¡¯t easily give it up.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I said I¡¯ll destroy it!¡±
Bro stepped in and aimed at my side, which was gouged by Toulowe.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Middle Kick¡¿!¡±
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Nu, wh, at?¡±
Bro¡¯s right middle kick. But I saw iting.
I didn¡¯t evade it, I dared to take it once, and I caught it with my left arm tightly against my leg.
After that, I thrust into the inner thigh of Bro¡¯s right leg with my free right hand.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Screw Hook¡¿!!¡±
¡°Nu, ga... ah, Ngaaaahh!!¡±
The smile disappeared from Bro¡¯s face and only had a painful expression. And at the same time, the feeling that remained in my fist....
¡°Gu, ah...¡± Tsu... You....¡±
Destroy the right leg. Bro¡¯s footwork stopped.... I thought so, but...
¡°As I said before...for you... it¡¯s a waste.... to stay here forever.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why... don¡¯t make it easy for me!¡±
¡°Oh!?¡±
Bro dared to hit a high kick with the right, which should have been broken.
I quickly defended with my arm, but my arm went numb. Bro still had a lot of power left.
¡°As you can see, I¡¯m a half-demon... I¡¯m not a human or a demon. There was no ce for someone on the Surface or the Demon Realm... but we had a fight once.... we shed into each other... I was able to understand the hoodlums... they epted me as arade who protected themunity together, and they fought with me... theyughed with me.... sometimes they cried with me... I can¡¯t leave them alone and pretend I don¡¯t know!¡±
The moment I defended, he immediately swung his leg with a low kick.
¡°This ce is not only mine, yeh!¡±
Taking it straight, really hurt after all.
With one shot, my leg went numb and my knee copsed a little...
¡°You¡¯re a great chap. I¡¯m d you put your body up, but... it¡¯s over!¡±
Bro ran up my copsed knee like a stepping stone, and with that momentum, he threw his knee at my face...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Shining Wizard¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Head-butt¡¿!¡±
¡°Iyaaaa!!??¡±
At that knee, Iunched ahead-butt.
I¡¯m used to it. If I don¡¯t close my eyes, the impact I¡¯ll receive is clearly within expectations.
¡°Uo, oh, gut ... tsuu ...¡±
But, it would be a painful blow for Bro.
I heard the sound of Bro¡¯s right knee gettingpletely crushed on my forehead.
And with the destruction of his knee and thigh, Bro¡¯s right leg is of no use anymore.
¡°Hehe...maybe because of a friend who understood me... like that...... it¡¯s not hard to understand. Me, too... I wanted someone who would recognize me, as ¡®myself¡¯, regardless of my title or house... that¡¯s why...... if such a person emerged... somehow... and if it¡¯s for that person, I¡¯ll risk myself as much as I want... I know... that feeling.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°But it means I understand, too.... in other words, it doesn¡¯t have anything to do with being a hoodlum or staying in your hometown, right?¡±
¡°Tsu... you¡¯re saying that... you¡¯ve lost your mind¡±
Even if he couldn¡¯t use his right leg, Bro¡¯s will to fight hasn¡¯t broken yet.
He flew high with only the left foot, swung the left foot as it is, and tried to hit me.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith ? Sky Axe Drop¡¿!!¡±
The foot technique swung with the power that made me think it could split my head in two, I...
¡°Here! ¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
¡°You, how long have you just lingered in yourfort zone!!¡±
Eye wide open, identify the foot technique, and strike with the fist.
¡°¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deehh!!??¡±
My fist and Bro¡¯s foot collide. At that moment, a few fingers in my knuckle probably broke...
¡°Guh, gaaaaaahh!!¡±
The sound of Bro¡¯s Achilles tendon being torn and a loud groaning voice echoed.
And to Bro, whose legs are destroyed and distorted in pain....
¡°Clench your teeth, and fly!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Overhand¡¿!!¡±
The Finishing Blow.
I never hit it in town. The form is also a mess, just a big swinging punch with a lot of momentum.
But it finally hit.
¡°Hah~ hah~... Well, if you still want to stay here forever, then it¡¯s fine.... to begin with, I wasn¡¯t one of you.... simply...... I¡¯m just going to have to do what I have to do.¡±
Bro was punched in the face and violently hit to the ground after crashing into the floor wall.
He doesn¡¯t seem to have lost consciousness, but...
¡°Kak... ha... you know...geez, ¡®Master¡¯ and ¡®Same¡¯...... blurred...... only just passing through...Gaha... I stopped.... the former path I was trying to go towards.... strength...... the way I used to be...¡±
Bro, who was hit against the wall, no longer had power in the body, and showed no sign ofing towards me.
¡°Yes... I already... when the Mafia was destroyed... I was already burned out...and..... I stayed knowing that there¡¯s nothing ahead of this road... at the very least, I tried to protect my ce with my friends....and I couldn¡¯t win... ¡°
However, Bro looked at me and muttered something as if somewhat refreshed.
¡°...... Hey, what are you grumbling about? Isn¡¯t it enough?¡±
Then, Bro slowly looked up at my question.
¡°Hey, you... have been taking care of a lot of extra things or doing some kind of extra work... I don¡¯t think you¡¯re a fool... Why is that? Is that how well you got along with that Toulowe Mantis?¡±
I chuckled at the question.
Yes, I¡¯m not the kind of guy who would normally do this.
I¡¯m not a hoodlum, so why am I doing this?
¡°The other day...met a demon, but... he had a bigger heart than anyone else and we¡¯ve be good friends.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°But it¡¯s because he¡¯s kinder than anyone else... he disappeared, saying he would be a nuisance to me if he was around. I couldn¡¯t reassure my good friend because I was weak... it¡¯s rted to the racial barrier, maybe it¡¯s because I could only prove it with my mouth...¡±
Yes, I¡¯ll never forget the regret and helplessness of that time.
¡°That¡¯s why, even if it¡¯s a demon...we were able to connect with each other with our fists to some extent.... If I turn a blind eye to them and say that they are nothing to me... I will never be able to repay Mr. Aka, who considered me his best friend ... if I think so... after all...... I have to do something about it...that¡¯s what I thought.¡±
¡°...... That¡¯s right... You, too... you¡¯ve been through a lot, yeh.¡±
After listening to my words seriously, Bro exhaled as if somewhat convinced.
¡°...... I can¡¯t help... the man who watched us as we were dazzling.... got to give my final notice.¡±
¡°Huh? ...... Are you sure?¡±
¡°Oh. That¡¯s enough... I¡¯ve got the answer.¡±
Then Bro said that and smiled. It was a bit dumb with teeth falling out, but he had a bright smile like a kid.
¡°...... H-Hey, hey, wh-what¡¯s going on? Hey, wh, what¡¯s the meaning of this, see? Bro! Earth! You guys go off on your own, what the hell, what is?¡±
In the end, the two of us finally calmed down, and Chitsue shouted at us saying, ¡°Enough!¡±
Then, Bro, who has already given his answer, and said with a neutral expression.
¡°Sorry, Minister Chitsue... I don¡¯t think I can beat this guy who says he wants to destroy this ce......¡±
¡°...... What!?¡±
Bro¡¯s answer made at the end of the fight.
¡°I¡¯m really sorry... And.....thank you for taking care of me.¡±
¡°You... punk!¡±
And as he dragged his broken legs, Bro said so as he protected Toulowe, Skevern and the others, and turned to face Chitsue.
Chapter 86 – The Last Distinction
Chapter 86 ¨C The Last Distinction
Tranted by: Sads07
While Bro, who had been stubborn and refused to yield until now, gave in after losing the fight, and on the other hand, with a rather relieved expression, he rebelled against Chitsue.
¡°I as of now¡ ept the discharge from being your personal dog¡¡±
¡°Bro, y-you, you! After all I¡¯ve done for you, and this is how you repay me!¡±
¡°Uh huh, and for that reason I apologize.¡±
¡°What!?¡±
The pig turned red with rage. Chitsue.
And Bro looked back at the stunned Skevern¡
¡°And¡ let these guys go too.¡±
¡°Wh¡ at!?¡±
¡°If you ask me, I think their punishments aren¡¯t really fair¡ rather, it would be worse for you if it¡¯s found out that you were trying to fatten up your pocket by using these guys, right? Well, my guess is that these crimes aren¡¯t officially and fairly judged, and that you¡¯re the one who¡¯s been pulling the strings with all sorts of behind-the-scenes trickery to entrap them.¡±
¡°D-Don¡¯t be ridiculous! What a convenient thing to say in the midst of such a sloppy mess! How dare you, who are also the trash of the Empire, give this opinion?!¡±
Of course, Chitsue found such a thing uneptable.
¡°Listen, why do you think the world is at peace now, no! Hey, Earth, is it thanks to your father, you think? This is the same as a in jailbreak in an era without war¡ yes, in an era without war, it is we politicians who keep the world of peace without war! That you¡¯re enjoying the peace that I have made, and instead of returning the favor to me, you ingrates dare to have an opinion, you do.¡±
¡°I guess so¡ I don¡¯t really understand noble work¡. I¡¯ll follow the distinction properly. You and me.¡±
Chitsue furiously criticized Bro¡¯s defiant state.
I see¡I heard that he was only taking a nap in Congress, but he was working hard.
Well, no matter which one¡ or rather, distinction?
¡°Hey, Bro, you¡¯re still¡¡±
And then¡¡
¡°Kikikikiki, ki, Gii¡ Gii!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
The door of the back room opened, and a small shadow popped out from inside in fright.
It was the goblin that had disappeared before I knew it.
¡°Yasashi! What are you doing?¡±
Skevern also asked in surprise, and the goblin appeared with a jerk, and behind it¡
¡°Garurururu¡±
¡°Kyupi? Kyu? Kyu¡±
They were monsters such as demonic wolves and insects who were fighting in Duel Monsters.
¡°H, hey, you bastard, what are you doing? They¡¯re all mine, and some of them were bought at tonight¡¯s auction!¡±
¡°Gieeh!?¡±
¡°Ugly goblins, what are you letting out of their cages, there!¡±
The goblin that was frightened by Chitsue¡¯s yelling.
But even so, it didn¡¯t seem to run away, and¡
¡°Gigigi¡ Gigigiiigi (Mutsagouro)¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Huh? ¡¡ Hoh~¡¡can it ¡®use¡¯ that?¡»
Somehow, it cast a spell on itself.
For a moment, we opened our eyes, but the next moment¡ the goblin headed for Bro ¡.
¡°I beg of you. Please help these children too.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeeh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
The goblin spoke!
Goblins are intelligent, have viges, tribes, and cultures, and understand humannguage.
However, even if they understood thenguage, I have read in the picture book that they do not speak human words¡.
¡°What, ho, how¡¡±
¡°I listened. I heard the story of these children. They were caught suddenly in the woods even when they had done nothing. So they say. I felt sorry for them. Please help.¡±
¡°Wh, wha¡ Whaaaaat!?¡±
The goblin who uttered human words spoke of the feelings of monsters on their behalf.
¡°They have family. They say. They say they want to go home. They say they don¡¯t want to fight.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ka~¡¡ Are you serious?¡±
Such a goblin¡. at Yasashi¡¯s words, Bro held his head down and made aplicated expression.
¡°I thought monsters were the same as animals¡ there are dogfights, bullfights, cockfights in the surface world, and if it¡¯s so¡Oh, dear¡¡±
Because animals and monsters don¡¯t speak humannguage, it may be that my heart didn¡¯t hurt too much.
Even human beings can eat cows and pigs without a thought because they don¡¯t say a word.
But if you hear their words like this¡
¡°Ha, hahahaha, this is good, good! A goblin that speaks humannguage. I didn¡¯t know you were such a rarity! It will likely make money at the freak show or an auction, that it will!¡±
However, it seems that such a goblin¡¯s heart-wrenching words did not reach Chitsue.
Somehow, when it came this far, it¡¯s kind of hard to believe that he is a guy who doesn¡¯t even blink.
And¡..
¡°Geez, we¡¯ve finally gotten in, right?¡±
¡°Whoa, they all look messed up, right? Pathetic.¡±
¡°Hey, Minister, are you safe?¡±
¡°Oh, but look at it. Somehow, the monsters and the damned Bro brat are also tattered, aren¡¯t they?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it our shift?¡±
And that was the time.
¡°tsu, you¡¯rete, see! What were you doing, look here! Even though I¡¯m paying, where were you? Very nearly, I might have died. You see! ¡°
¡°My bad, minister. The entrance was so crowded that we couldn¡¯t get in.¡±
¡°No excuses, alright! Get rid of these rubbish, do it now!¡±
This time, dozens of adult men slithered in from the entrance of the gambling den in a crowd.
None gave the impression of any disposition, and they had the same vibe as Chitsue¡¯s guards now lying on this floor.
¡°Hey, hey¡ who the hell are they¡ hey, these guys!¡±
And, Bro¡¯s expression changed when he saw the adults.
¡°I see, the onesying around here¡ I thought I¡¯ve seen them somewhere¡ the Bockmati Family!?¡±
The Bockmati Family? It should have been crushed¡.
¡°Fufufufu, that¡¯s right, it is. It¡¯s impossible for the executives, but these guys, who were the lower-ranking members, only got a short prison term.¡±
¡°Wh, at!?¡±
¡°Recently, I¡¯ve had a hard time hiring official warriors for escorts, and above all, they monitor activities behind the scenes, and it¡¯s inconvenient because serious and inflexible ones would try to report to His Majesty and Hiro right away. In that respect, these guys will do anything as long as they¡¯re paid, so it¡¯s convenient.¡±
He hired short-term prison thugs to form a private escort group, and then used it to act behind the scenes.
It¡¯s as if this person was more like the Mafia than a Minister.
¡°Heh, leave it to me, Minister. Bro used to make me drink boiling water.¡±
¡°The monsters are to be caught alive, and the rest shredded, no problem?¡±
¡°Hmm? That other kid¡. huh? Where have I seen him before¡¡±
And the adults who appeared in a swarm smiled and tried to surround us.
It clearly created a violent atmosphere.
So, here we are, Bro¡¯s body was in no condition to fight anymore, and the others¡
¡°Honey¡ this is our first coboration¡±
¡°No, no¡ Oh, you¡¡±
Next to me, Shinobu was very motivated. Apparently, she will be going on a rampage with me.
Well, that¡¯s fine¡
¡°No choice, well then¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
I was about to rout all the adults away, wondering if I could do as I pleased. But¡¡
¡°That¡¯s enough¡ you.¡±
¡°Bro!?¡±
With that said, Bro dragged her broken legs to Chitsue.
And¡..
¡°The hoodlum Bro is¡ out of business as of today!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Bro used his fist, which he had never shown in his previous battles.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Bro had only used kicks in the fights with me.
He had an obsession with his feet.
Even though the man¡¯s legs were hurt, he beat Chitsue with his fist as he dered his retirement.
¡°Pue, Pa, ah¡ you puuuuuunk!¡±
His cheeks were swollen, his nose bled, and his eyes were in tears as he wriggled about the floor.
Neither I nor the adults could immediately react to the scene.
In such a situation, Bro looked back at Skevern¡
¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll end with this, but¡ you¡¯ll be able to lessen your grudges with this, yeh?¡±
¡°Y, you¡¡±
¡°And¡ everything else¡ I¡¯ll leave in the hands of the Empire.¡±
With a determined expression on his face, Bro grabbed the fluttering Chitsue¡¯s chest and forcibly pulled it.
This guy¡
¡°Hey, Bro! What are you trying to¡.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll drag him along like this, and turn myself in to the Imperial City.¡±
¡°Ha¡ Haah!?¡±
¡°Events and transactions using monsters in this gambling den¡ I will testify to everything, including any connection with the Anti-Imperialists.¡±
Bro¡¯s distinction when he said he would graduate from delinquency.
However, the moment he said that, the adults naturally got angry.
¡°Nah, this fucking crap!¡±
¡°No way, our moneyman¡ the Minister¡¡ and are you going to shut down this gambling den?¡±
¡°From now on, when we¡¯re just about to make a big profit to revive the family¡¡±
¡°tch, like hell we¡¯ll let that happen! Hey, boys, let¡¯s do it!¡±
¡°Oh, this fucker, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
That¡¯s right. In the first ce, there¡¯s no way they¡¯re going to allow that.
And most importantly¡
¡°Pu, Gyaha¡ Guwahahaha, m-moron, and you ¡ just, who do you think I am, you trash.¡±
¡°¡¡Hmm?¡±
Chitsue, as he was pulled by Bro, smiled with ridicule, even though he was in tears.
¡°I¡¯m a minister, you see! Or, if you were to take me to the Imperial City and hand me over to the Imperial Knights, who would believe the testimony of scum like you?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Naive, and this fool, me! And you¡¯re the mastermind behind this riot, and above all, to think you would hit me, the greatest minister in the world, and get away with it, nuh-uh! You¡¯ll definitely get the death penalty, see!¡±
That¡¯s right. Even if the other party is rotten, he was a minister.
In the first ce, he used the hoodlums forbor at the gambling den so that they could be cut off whenever something went wrong.
The testimony of the savage delinquents or the words of the Minister of the Imperial Capital. Which one would the world believe?
As for me? But now I¡¯m ¡
¡°Fufufufu, the resemnce to that extent.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eh!!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
Goblins, adults, and who the hell is it this time?
As I was about to scream ¡°Not again!?¡± to the new people, I was surprised to see that person.
¡°The brilliance of the passionate youth¡ I just couldn¡¯t help gazing at it. Therefore, any further redundancy¡¡. I¡¯ll varnish away.¡±
That Old man was there.
¡°The young half-breed¡ that your testimony is urate, this one will be a witness. If you will take responsibility and reveal everything¡ I willmunicate the remarks directly to Emperor Solja so that this one can protect and judge fairly and impartially.¡±
It was the Old man who helped me get in.
¡°¡¡¡ Ah ¡ no ¡ no way?¡±
¡°¡¡ Shinobu. What is it?¡±
¡°¡¡ Honey¡¡ I¡¯ll see youter. I love you ? poof.¡±
¡°H, hey!?¡±
The moment she saw the Old man, Shinobu, who was by my side, screamed and backed away, finally said something embarrassing to me, and while throwing a kiss, disappeared in a puff of smoke.
No, why!? Do you know him? Oh no, this Old man was from Japone, but¡
¡°Hey, what now, all the guests and hoodlums should have gone out!¡±
¡°Who are you, shitty old timer!¡±
¡°Hey, what¡¯s that? Are you a customer? I don¡¯t know who you are, but it¡¯s an internal mess, so it¡¯s dangerous, could you leave?¡±
¡°Yes. This is just a matter within the Empire. I don¡¯t know which country you are from, but you shouldn¡¯t go deeper ~?¡±
¡°Ora, get the hell out of here or I¡¯ll sink you!¡±
Adults mercilessly swore at the Old Man saying, ¡°You¡¯re unrted so leave.¡±
Yes, no matter where the Old Man is from, he¡¯s probably a foreigner.
And since this is a ¡°matter within the Empire¡±, he was warned not to interfere.
But¡¡
¡°Do be silent! As long as the matter involves transcendental issues of Demons, borders are irrelevant as people living on the same world! If there is any suspicion of vition of internationalw stipted asmon to mankind, it is not a problem for only the Empire! And Minister Chitsue¡ We can¡¯t overlook the perverse deeds, the abuse, and the excessive use of power by the politician.¡±
The Old man raised his voice for the first time.
¡°Minister Chitsue. I¡¯ve had the opportunity to investigate this gambling den in a number of ways. In fact, most of the merchants that you have brought in through your mediation are actually Anti-Imperialists¡¡ and all the people involved are Anti-Coalition forces.¡±
¡°Nu¡ Wha, nu¡¡±
¡°Earlier, I heard that a young man made a deal without mediating you, and it seemed to be a problem as he was an Anti-Imperialist, but all of that was set up by you, wasn¡¯t it? The objective is to make it easier for young ones to ept the revision of the gambling den rules.¡±
¡°Ugu!? Hey ¡ that¡¯s ¡¡±
¡°While being a politician of the Allied Forces, to ignore the rights of Demons and provide this space which is also a source of funds for Anti-Imperialists and Anti-Coalition organizations. Neither Otentou-sama nor I will ever forgive you!¡±
After all, this Old man is not a regr person. And ¡
¡ºAh¡ this fellow, I never!? So ¡ that is how it is¡¡»
It looked like Tre¡¯ainar noticed something, too.
Chapter 87 – Moving on
Chapter 87 ¨C Moving on
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Who the hell is this geezer, ha? Bro, Earth, who do you think I am? This, insolence, see! Quickly get the geezer too!¡±
Chitsue, who was more conscious of the words the Old man directed at him rather than who he was, ordered the goons to capture him.
Then the Old man sighed.
¡°Fufu¡ Solja has it hard, too¡ I¡¯m much obliged to the Pauh family¡¯s predecessors and owe a debt of gratitude, eternally¡. well, I saved that one many times as well.¡±
Hmm? Hey, now, Old man, are you referring to ¡°His Majesty¡± in that manner?
And, the moment the adults took out their weapons one after another and were ready to attack, two men appeared out of nowhere beside the Old man.
¡°O-roukou, I have a report!¡±
¡°Ah¡ But before that, these ones¡ shall we ¡?¡±
Those two are the men that the Old man brought with him.
However¡¡
¡°Hmm, for the time being, as it hase to this, it can¡¯t be helped. Ashisotu-san, Kesu-san¡¡ please stand down you two. I¡¯ll discipline them personally.¡±
¡°¡± Ha~ ¡ again ¡ ¡°¡±
After telling them not to interfere, the next moment, the Old man took off his mask.
From under it, I thought the Old man was as thin as a dead branch, but the light of eyes and his belligerent smile were very different from the gentle image I had when I first met him.
Huh? That Old man¡ Somewhere¡¡ if I remember correctly¡. at the Academy¡ something¡
¡ºTis said that human life expectancy is short¡. Surely¡ to think he was still alive¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar chuckled, somewhat dumbfounded.
And¡¡
¡°Now, shall we¡ª¡±
¡°Calm doooooownn! Ah, excuse my suddenrge voice. We¡¯ve something to dere.¡±
¡°Tha, o, n-nu!? To¡. Ashisotu-san!?¡±
¡°No, you should have done this from the beginning. You¡¯re of old age, therefore please refrain from scuffles.¡±
As the Old man was about to run, the man called Ashisotu took out an essory, something like a medal with some symbol on it and held it up.
As the Old man tried to run forward, he immediately slipped down.
But more than that¡
¡°Ah¡ That mark is¡¡±
Me, too.
¡°Eeh, wh, wh ¡ wha, huh!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ ah¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
Both Chitsue and the adults became speechless when they saw the symbol and the revealed true face of the Old man.
Yes, I¡¯ve seen it, too.
And I finally remembered why the Old man looked familiar.
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a textbook! In a history textbook¡. huh? Textbook¡¡ tte, wha!?
¡°He once fought deadly battles with the Demon King¡¯s army¡ Former Deputy Commander of the ¡®Ground Allied Forces¡¯ established to bring together the justice of all mankind, including the Empire and Japone¡. He¡¯s Lord ¡®Mikado''¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°So don¡¯t resist. Even if you resist, everyone here¡. this one might kill you in less than ten seconds¡. no¡¡ some¡¡ eradication¡¡±
I¡¯m extremely aware of that name¡. or rather¡. I should say legend¡. he is also a war hero, Mikado!
¡°L, L¡ Lord Mikado¡. wh, why¡ why, as for this, discourtesy¡ I¡ wh, why, in a ce like this¡¡±
And, as expected, Chitsue found it unbearable, and immediately fell on both knees and hung his head on the spot.
¡°Fufufufu, you don¡¯t have to humble yourself, Minister Shtsui. I¡¯ve already stepped down from my position¡. what¡¯s more, I am a vassal of Emperor Solja of the Dipercha Empire, not particrly another subordinate ¡. although¡¡ as an advisor of the Union, I am permitted to survey member states¡.¡±
¡°Gu, u¡ ha, no, th-that is¡ that¡.¡±
¡°Well, I don¡¯t have the authority to judge you¡ therefore, I must only report the facts as they are. Including Bro Glenn¡¯s testimony. On top of that, we will conduct a fair and equitable investigation, and if as a result, you are found viting themon internationalws of the Union¡ you can expect harsher words from the Imperial and Allied forces.¡±
¡°Tha, no, such a¡ I, I¡ I just¡just¡¡±
He has already retired from active duty. However, his voice and influence still held great power in the Surface World.
The hero who had been fighting the Demon Realm and the Demon King¡¯s Army long before my parents were born, I heard that even the Seven Heroes were no match for him.
¡°Bro Glenn¡ is that alright with you?¡±
¡°Ha~, haha¡ already¡ I can¡¯t tell¡ what is what¡. but¡¡ it¡¯s an honour to meet you, Old man¡ uh, Lo-Lord Mikado?¡±
¡°Fufufufu, I don¡¯t mind, right now I¡¯m a mere Old timer.¡±
At this unexpected tempest, Bro wasughing as if he was amazed.
However, there was no objection at all to Bro, the Old man¡. no, I nodded to Mikado.
¡°Hey, Bro¡ you¡¡ is that alright with you? Even if you testify, you¡¯re¡ either way, you¡¯ll be implicated as well, right?¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s okay. I¡¯m¡ like I used to be¡ like you now¡. Also, I have to be able to walk on my own feet¡. so that¡¯s okay¡. everyone in the Kamikaze Gang¡. it¡¯s already¡ I¡¯ll have you walk on your own feet.¡±
I don¡¯t know how much crime Bro is guilty of, but he¡¯s at least innocent, if not meless ¡.
Perhaps, it is possible that he would be sent to prison as it is.
But,
¡°Originally¡ the ce made by the adults ¡. I and Minister Ushitsui took over¡. responsibility¡. no, we¡¯re going to have to pull the curtain back¡. Hoodlums¡. we¡¯re moving on.¡±
Broughed that he was prepared for it all.
¡°tch, even though you¡¯re delinquent from beginning to end¡ so you intend to be stylish¡ even though you¡¯re a worthless hoodlum to the world!¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s cool, isn¡¯t it? So, even if something happens in the future¡ don¡¯t be like me. If your heart rots and you¡¯re about to lose your way, remember this stupid hoodlum and try not to do the same, right? Brother.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I don¡¯t need a stupid brother like you¡ I already said that. ¡°
¡°Kakkakaka!¡±
So I couldn¡¯t say much more.
And¡..
¡°Fufufufufu¡ be that as it may¡ you are Earth, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°I saw you only once as a baby¡. I didn¡¯t notice it at first because you don¡¯t look like Hiro, but¡. why are you here? I was listening to your conversation with Ushitsui, and it seems you¡¯ve done something wrong¡¡±
Do you know who I am? No, maybe that¡¯s the case.
Because, this Old man¡ he¡¯s not only arade of my father and my mother¡. but their master in the war¡
Well, rather than that, why am I here?
That is¡¡
¡°If you don¡¯t mind, will you tell me what happened? Both Hiro and Mamu arerades who shed blood and raised the same justice and cause, even if our countries were different, they¡¯re like grandchildren to me¡. which makes you, like my great-grandson.¡±
¡°¡what¡happened¡¡±
¡°And more than anything else¡ I¡¯ve been watching your fight, and it made my heart leap¡ if I can help you, I want to help you.¡±
Saying that, Mikado asked me in the same kind and gentle air as when I first met him.
If I can¡¯t say anything about that question¡.
¡°Ah yes, O-roukou. This is a report I couldn¡¯t say earlier, but¡¡±
¡°Hmm? What is it, Ashisotu-san?¡±
¡°I was informed by a merchant who was among the fleeing guests earlier¡ Princess Phianse, daughter of Emperor Solja¡ and Mamu seem to be heading for this town, and he¡¯s already right under our noses.¡±
¡°¡¡ What!? Is that true?¡±
¡¡ Huh?
¡°Wh¡ at¡?¡±
Mother? The princess? Why? How?
Do you have anything to do in this town?
No, now¡ it can¡¯t be¡for me? But then why the princess?
But anyway, my mother is heading to this town¡.
¡°Broooo! Leadeeeeer¡. Bro? H, hey, this is¡ wh-what¡¯s going on¡ the minister, too¡. I mean, Bro, what¡¯s with the injuries?¡±
¡°Ah, well, I¡¯ll talk about itter. So, what happened?¡±
At that time, the baguette head had a sudden change in his expression.
¡°N, now at the entrance of the town¡ th, the princess¡ the princess of this country, and Mamu of the Seven Heroes, came along with a few others! The guests and merchants were already in a big panic, and Mamu and the others said, ¡®What the hell is this all about?¡¯ I mean, I¡¯m already out there panicking¡ hey, what do you want me to do?¡±
I mean, seriously¡
¡°Kakkaka¡ Oh,e to think of it, I heard they wereing soon¡. no way, I didn¡¯t think they would be here today¡. did theye to this town in such a hurry¡ ah¡¡ well personally, it saves me a lot of trouble. It¡¯s just¡¡±
In that situation, Bro sighed, and at the same time put his hand on my shoulder.
¡°It¡¯s inconvenient for you.¡±
¡°What!?¡±
Bro smiled at me as if he were sensing something.
¡°Bro¡ no way, you¡. about me.¡±
¡°About that? I don¡¯t know you. You¡¯re a good buddy. That¡¯s all I know. So¡.. you may be able to go home, but¡ if you still don¡¯t want to go home¡ if that¡¯s the path you¡¯re on, then you should go now. Just, I¡¯ll say it over and over again, but don¡¯t be like me, yeh?¡±
And then he hit me on the back with his hand and pushed me out.
He¡¯s telling me to, ¡°Go.¡±
¡°Huh, at first I was wondering what to do, but¡ But¡¡ maybe you¡¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Master¡¯s twisted ambition and ideology¡ that fellow¡¯s situation¡. nuh-uh.¡±
¡°Master? Fellow? What are you talking about?¡±
¡°Whaaaat, if you happen to meet my Master, who is also my first love and see themselves as my Sister, someday¡¡±
I didn¡¯t really understand what Bro was saying.
Master? Sister? What does anything have to do with it?
In the end, Bro eventually looked up without telling me what he meant.
¡°Come on,ter then!¡±
Saying that, he pped me on the back again, saying words reminiscent of a life¡¯s farewell.
In response to those words, I¡
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll see youter.¡±
That¡¯s right, I returned it.
¡°What? What are you doing, Earth? Now that Mamu is here, we need to talk¡.¡±
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Goodbye, Elder!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The Old man showed me kindness to help me in many ways, however I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve already put my ¡°blunder¡± in the past and moved on.
Now that I didn¡¯t want to go back, I activated a breakthrough and ran out of the ce in an instant.
I jumped out of the gambling den, the stairs, and the town¡.
¡°Heeeeeey, everyone, be quiet! They¡¯re not all cklisted merchants!¡±
For some reason, mother was holding sluggish merchants on both sides¡.
¡°What exactly do you mean? Moreover, ording to what I¡¯ve heard, Minister Chitsue is here. I¡¯m not listening to anything! Hey, get out of the way and let us in!¡±
The princess raised her voice while showing her annoyance to panicked nobles and delinquents¡
¡°Hey, I¡¯m going to capture the merchants who are trying to escape, Coman, Fu. And we¡¯ll hear what happened.¡±
¡°Fe, u, uh-hun, I understand, Rebal¡ em, wi, with my flute¡. Right away, I¡¯ll manipte them all and make them confess. erm, no matter what they¡¯re hiding, they¡¯ll spit it all out¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ Coman¡ it¡¯s been a long time, but¡ to be honest, I mean¡. that¡¯s scary, isn¡¯t it?¡±
So, even them?
Rebal. Coman. And even Fu.
The purpose is¡ no, don¡¯t think about it.
¡°Eeh, Little man!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
By the time that voice was heard, it was toote.
If even one step behind in my breakthrough state, no one can catch up anymore.
In addition¡¡
¡°Hey, Earth! Hey, wait! Wait, Earth!¡±
¡°Little man¡ please¡ please talk to me!¡±
¡°Earth, where are you going? It¡¯s me. I¡¯m right here, Earth! Stop, st, stay there!¡±
¡°Earth, what are you doing? Wait, won¡¯t you say anything to us, I won¡¯t let you leave again!¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ uh, my flute¡. uh, no good, out of range.¡±
¡°Wait, Earth!¡±
Just made it, fortunately the entrance of the gambling den was in turmoil.
Even if everyone noticed me, they couldn¡¯t kick ordinary people out of the way, so they weren¡¯t able to chase after me right away.
Don¡¯t look back, I¡¯m¡
¡°I told you to wait, hey, Earth!¡±
¡°Little man!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you hear me telling you to stop!¡±
No, there are only three of them¡
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Rebal, Fu, Coman! This is ¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Leave it to us! Hey, Earth!¡±
Only three people scraped through the crowd, jumped out, and chased after me.
But more than that¡.
¡°¡¡ tch¡¡±
Of all people, those three. Darn¡¡
¡º¡¡ Hou~, Mamu is a matter of course, that the other two are capable¡. even if they cannot catch up with you in the breakthrough state, they will never be so far away that they lose sight you¡¡»
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡ºWhen your time expires¡ they might be able to catch up, will they not?¡»
Once the breakthrough is lifted, you can catch up. I agreed with what Tre¡¯ainar told me.
I mean of course. Even at the best of times, I¡¯m pretty tired.
And there were three of them.
¡°Now that you mention it, I¡ hide and seek, tag or anything else¡ I¡¯ve never won against Sadiz¡. I¡¯ve never beaten the princess¡. not to mention, my mother is a Hero¡¡±
As it is, once the breakthrough expires, they will catch up.
Then, regardless of my intention, for now¡ they will take me home?
¡°Don¡¯t bullshit me. You don¡¯te here, loiter in the past you¡¯ve cut off and get in the way of my journey.¡±
With a click of my tongue, I just ran, ran, and kept on running.
While we were in such a chase, none of us had noticed yet.
¡°THERE~ ?YOU~ ?ARE~¡±
A shadow was overlooking us against the backdrop of the moon shining in the dark night.
¡°Could it be¡ to think I would find it this soon¡ I was to have Bro cooperate with me in the search for it, but¡ Fufufufu¡¡ my one and only God¡. about 498340000 seconds since I lost thee¡ for the first time in many years this heart of mine races¡ what that thing means to thee I know not, but¡ whoever has inherited the power of the Great Demon King shall be in my hands!¡±
The shadow pped its jet-ck wings and shed tears while smiling¡.
¡°That been said, all those swarming flies shall be erased¡¡ THAT?ONE?BE?LONGS?TO?ME¡±
The madness of the goddess, d in the armor of a Dark Valkyrie, was closing in on me.

Volume 2 Extra Chapter ¨C Earth¡¯s Go Campaign
Tranted by: Sads07
In the middle of the journey. While still in the woods.
¡ºKohon, Kohon¡ Mm, Kohon¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was next to me, coughing unnaturally.
And he¡¯s ncing sideways at me.
¡ºOi, child¡ the Go board that was purchased in town earlier¡. you did not forget it, did you?¡»
¡°Agh¡±
By the way, how many times have you asked this question?
I bought a portable, foldable and easy-to-carry Go board as a souvenir in the town of Honeyborough.
Tre¡¯ainar seems to be very concerned about it.
No, I¡¯m not bothered by it. It is likely he¡¯s appealing to me. I¡¯m not so shallow in my rtionship with this guy that I don¡¯t understand that.
¡°¡¡ wanna take a break¡ to y a game?¡±
¡ºFah!¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes sparkled as the Majesty of the Great Demon King copsed.
¡ºI shall y you! Umm, it cannot be helped, child. Um, I will y you! Come on, let us y it! Let us y it right away!¡»
After ying a game of Go for the first time in over a dozen years, seems he¡¯s been dying to y again.
Well, for someone who couldn¡¯t interact with the world, his only form of entertainment was to see the scenery in front of him through me, read with me, chat with me, and guide me.
And he¡¯s been like this since he realized that he could y Go with me.
¡°Jeez, I¡¯m the only one who can do it¡¡±
He¡¯s so happy, and I can¡¯t refuse to y with him like that.
I sat on the ground in the forest, opened the Go board, and lined up the pieces.
In the meantime, because I line up the stones for two people, I put the Go pieces on both sides, but I made Tre¡¯ainar sit face-to-face in order to create the atmosphere of a game.
¡ºCome on, child. You may ce as many pieces as you will. I shall have you enjoy the Demon King¡¯s move!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar looked excited with his arms folded. It¡¯s a little annoying.
I can ce as many pieces as I want. In Go, if there is too much difference in ability, one is allowed to ce extra pieces first as a handicap. Which means that there is that much difference in ability between Trainer and me.
However, it pissed me off when he said it so tantly.
¡°I don¡¯t want to. I can y a little, too, right?¡±
¡ºNu, is that so? Well¡¡ in that case¡¡»
¡°So, let¡¯s go! Also, the first move is mine!¡±
To be honest, I¡¯m not terribly good at Go, but having been trained by Sadiz for a long time, I think I¡¯m a decent yer.
Of course, I can¡¯t say that I¡¯m stronger than Shinobu from the other day, and I don¡¯t think I can beat Tre¡¯ainar, but I was so frustrated that I thought I should at least y the first game with no handicap.
¡°Come on, instruct me.¡±
¡ºWell, then¡ Lower left, stars¡»
Well, I was hoping that since it¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar, he¡¯d y me without a handicap and whip me into shape¡ I thought, but¡
¡°Ora¡±
¡ºUpper right, star¡»
¡°Hmm!¡±
¡ºLower left Kosumi©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤¡»
It was only a few minutes from the start.
I¡¯ve only yed a few moves yet.
To be clear, Go is a game that uses dozens of moves to advance¡.
¡°¡ª..re¡der¡¡±
¡ºHmm? Child ~ I can not hear you~? What was that~? If you do not speak clearly~, I cannot hear ?.¡»
¡°Ha!¡±
A few minutes from the start, already Tre¡¯ainar was grinning with a smug face after a few moves.
The next moment, I was yelling.
¡°I?SU?REN?DER you darn idiot! You, what are you ying without mercy!¡±
¡ºOh, good heavens, do not get so heated.¡»
¡°Usually, you would go easy on me! No, I¡¯m the one who said no handicap! But there¡¯s a limit!¡±
My thoughts were naive. After Shinobu, it¡¯s his first time ying in a long time, so Tre¡¯ainar ruthlessly cut me down.
¡°To invite me and kill me instantly¡ I don¡¯t think I can win.¡±
¡ºWell, now now, settle down, child. Why not continue ying this game a little longer?¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
When I hung my head with sulky feelings, Tre¡¯ainar made a remark that sounded like whipping a corpse under these circumstances.
Moreover, that is¡¡
¡°Wait a minute, continue this? What are you going to do with this y? No matter how much I can do to this point, even I can understand that winning is not possible anymore.¡±
¡ºEven if you cannot, I can.¡»
¡°¡ ha? No way, how in the ¡¡±
¡ºLet us exchange your pieces with mine. I shall ept this super-inferior situation as a handicap.¡»
¡°What¡¯d you say?¡±
It was such a ridiculous suggestion but I thought I shouldn¡¯t make fun of it either.
It¡¯s true that I¡¯m overwhelmingly weaker than Tre¡¯ainar, but it¡¯s impossible to reverse from such an already annihted situation.
But¡¡
¡°Ha? Y-you¡¯re looking down on me! Don¡¯t joke around, that is definitely impossible ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤¡±
I didn¡¯t know yet.
That the opponent was the omnipotent and omniscient Great Demon King.
No matter how many hours, days, months, or years it took me, he would strike a string of unthinkable moves one after another.
And a few minutester ©¤©¤©¤©¤
¡°¡¡ Never again¡¡ I¡¯m done¡¡ I¡¯ll never y you again¡. Damn it¡.¡±
From the situation where I was cut off and surrendered, Tre¡¯ainar turned it around and I was cut off again.
At this point, I felt ridiculous in many ways.
I shed tears.
I overturned the board and slept unfaithfully on the spot.
¡ºOh, dear! D, did I overdo it? Say, child, once again! Hear? One more time! I will adjust it just right this time, will I not? Once more.¡»
¡°¡¡ No way¡¡ I¡¯m going to bed¡ I can¡¯t y Go any more¡¡±
¡ºNuah! Oh, tis quite cruel! T-tis so. I shall teach you. Huh? How about it? Huh?¡»
Thus, for a while, Go had be traumatic to me.
Woah! Okay, dude needs to learn restraint. Reminds me of when I would wreck my siblings at Tekken, while holding the controller with one hand. They never yed me again. And also when I yed Tekken online¡. And got wrecked¡ I never tried that again.

Chapter 88 ¨C Intermission (The Maid) ¢Û

I can¡¯t catch up to him at full speed.
As a child, when I yed tag with Little man, I would lead Little man around by his nose, whether I was the one chasing him or the one being chased.
But now, even though I chase after him with all my might, I can¡¯t catch up with that Little man¡¯s back.
I felt frustrated, regretful, and pathetic, but on the other hand, I think that it is unscrupulous to have such feelings under these circumstances.
¡°The power in that match was still real¡ Little man¡ without me knowing¡. without realizing it while I was by your side¡ in a really big way¡. and finally getting stronger¡¡±
I don¡¯t know why Little man used the skill of the Great Demon King, and I thought that it might have been some mistake.
But this is the only truth that shouldn¡¯t be twisted.
Little man really, really grew strong.
For me, the Little man I¡¯ve always thought would never change since he was little¡. has be independent¡.
¡°All right, everyone, today we¡¯re going to y imperial house with me today as rehearsal for the future!¡±
I¡¯m suddenly reminded of the old days.
Princess Phianse in her childhood proposed a cute game in the pce garden.
In response to the proposal, Little man, Fu, and Rebal, were embarrassed and had delicate looks on their faces.
¡°I, naturally, am the Empress! Well, of course! And Rebal is the Commander of the Imperial Knights and the Prime Imperial Warrior!¡±
¡°Me? Such an amazing role?¡±
¡°Yes. And Fu is the Strongest Mage in the Empire!¡±
¡°Mm-hmm! All right, I¡¯ll do it!¡±
They were positions that these children had a lot of potential for in the future, and it was really a rehearsal exercise.
They were still very small, 5-year-old child prodigies.
I was nine years old at the time, and I spent my days learning etiquette and manners from the pce maids, as well as taking Little man to and from the pce.
The scene of such a nostalgic day.
And, Little man seemed dissatisfied with the princess¡¯ proposal.
¡°¡¡ As for me? eh, why!? Why is Rebal a knightmander and a warrior prime? Isn¡¯t it me?¡±
¡°Eh? U~umm, yeah, uh, that¡¯s right, I, I forgot the role of Earth, so careless, u~umm.¡±
It was a lie.
The princess shows an obvious ¡®careless¡¯ state whenever she is totally lying.
And the princess while looking quite shy¡
¡°O-Okay, apologies, well, yes, let Earth y the role of Emperor! Oh, my King! You must be happy!¡±
¡°Eh~~, Emperor~?¡±
Little man had a disgruntled face. Master Rebal was also sulking a little.
Yes, the role, after all, when the lid was lifted, the Emperor and Empress ¡
¡°Then, start! Oh, Your Majesty, no, no, when we¡¯re alone, oh, you¡ would you like to have dinner? Take a bath? O, or, m, me?¡± [1] [1]
It had nothing to do with the Emperor or Empress any more.
No, somehow, Master Rebal and Master Fu were pitifully being excluded from ying house.
But the one I felt most sorry for was¡
¡°Hmm, as expected, ying house is boring, let¡¯s y something else.¡±
¡°Eh? Uhhhhh¡. No, it¡¯s an order! Earth is the Emperor! That¡¯s why!¡±
¡°Wrong, I¡¯m going to be a hero, like dad, so that¡¯s better!¡±
He doesn¡¯t understand her behavior which was so easy toprehend, or rather I don¡¯t think he¡¯s interested¡ the princess was the one I felt most sorry for, but¡.
¡°Oh, Sadiz, hey, Sadiz let¡¯s y!!¡±
Little man runs up to me, who is supposed to be able to y with him at any time of day in a sense. The princess became sullen at such a figure¡
¡°No!¡±
The princess caught Little man and pulled his hand. Then the princess red at me¡
¡°We¡¯re going to y by ourselves! We don¡¯t need some aunty!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
And I couldn¡¯t help crying out.
¡°Sadiz is not my aunt!¡±
¡°No, she¡¯s an olddy, Earth! Because Sadiz is nine! That¡¯s almost ten years old! Well, that¡¯s what the maids said, oh, new something¡. So, Sadiz is a new recruit!¡±
¡°Not true! Sadiz is a¡ fai¡ fair maiden.¡±
He said so in an embarrassingly bewildered manner, Little man at that time was too damned cute, I was already¡
¡°Nooooo! She¡¯s fa, she¡¯s fa, fa!¡±
¡°Oh, hey, Phianse! Stop pulling!¡±
¡°Ancient Monster Sadiz Go Away! Bleh!¡±
The princess angrily took Little man by force, and made a rude facial gesture at me. [2]
To be honest, I¡¯ve known the princess since she was a baby, and for me, it wasn¡¯t without some little sisterly feelings.
However, when I was still young, I was not good at controlling my desire to monopolize Little man.
¡°¡¡ I won¡¯t give Little man to anyone¡.¡±
¡°Hii!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you take him anywhere. Also? Who is the ancient monster? Hmm?¡±
In an instant, moved around and cut in front of the princess.
The princess¡¯s face was drawn with fear. And the princess¡.
¡°Gu, oh, I¡¯ll protect Phianse!¡±
¡°Rebal~, it¡¯s no good, you can¡¯t beat Sadiz¡¡±
Really, Master Rebal, who was afraid of me, held a tree branch to protect her as if he were a knight.
Master Fu was hiding scared in Rebal¡¯s shadow.
And I¡
¡°Fuu~¡ everyone gets a little spanking¡ except ¡®Little man¡®.¡°
¡°¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been given permission from all your parents to do so.¡±
The Deration of Punishment with Pressure.
Then, the young masters, who were even younger than I was at the time, shuddered and trembled.
¡°U, U~¡ everyone, run away from the monster Sadiz!¡±
¡°Eh, we¡¯re ying tag? But, all right, I¡¯m going to beat Sadiz today!¡±
¡°Gu, re, remember, I¡¯ll win someday!¡±
¡°We¡¡ We can¡¯t win.¡±
Anyway, the princess shouted for everyone to run away from me.
Little man is very determined to y tag.
Rebal looked frustrated.
Fu was being faint-hearted.
They were four such child prodigies, but¡.
¡°Do you want to run away? It¡¯s okay, right. Then, I¡¯ll count from ten¡. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1¡ Ready? Even if you¡¯re not, here Ie¡ or to be more precise.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already caught everyone¡¡±
It began in ten seconds, and within five seconds, all four of them were held on either sides of me and in nooses.
¡°Th, that¡¯s¡ t, too fast.
¡°D, Damn it ¡ I thought I was going to escape for just five seconds today!¡°
¡°This is¡ Sadiz, the rising star of the new era¡. my father admitted it, too¡.¡°
¡°That¡¯s why I said we can¡¯t win¡¡±
Yes, there was such a difference in power at that time.
¡°Hahaha ¡ amazing, Sadiz¡. if those four are like Sadiz, they¡¯ll realize that they still have to work hard.¡±
¡°Ah. As I thought, maybe Sadiz doesn¡¯t have to wait until she¡¯s twelve years old to be admitted to the academy with special treatment by skipping grades.¡±
While smiling at us as they took a break from work, the Emperor and my Master, sometimes the Empress and the Madam, would be there.
¡°But the child Mamu protected in ¡®the Former city of Sorcery, Shiznautmy¡¯ was such a genius¡¡±
¡°Ah. At that time¡ she didn¡¯t really open up to me, but¡. but now she really is Earth¡¯s ¡®Big Sister¡®.¡±
¡°It¡¯s been five years since the demise of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡ and above all I¡¯m d to see that her heartbreak is healing¡. as it is, I hope that she¡¯ll continue to be a sister and a familiar target for Phianse, too.¡±
¡°¡¡ Well, it¡¯s not like everything¡¯s over¡. there¡¯s still a big ¡°mystery¡± about that city¡. even the former member of the Six Supremacy, La¡¯iphant, doesn¡¯t know about the matter either¡. And the only person who seems to know about the mystery is that Jamdi¡¯el, the one who was with Tre¡¯ainar when he destroyed the city.¡±
¡°La¡¯iphant said that it¡¯s likely that Jamdi¡¯el is in hiding on the Surface World, not on the Demon Realm¡ if he¡¯s right¡¡ for example, she would be lurking in ¡®the Istionist Nation, Cacretale¡® which was uninvolved in the war with the Demons.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t carelessly get involved¡ seriously¡. even though we defeated Tre¡¯ainar and thought we were making progress in our rtionship with the demons little by little, I can¡¯t help but worry¡ and¡ what worries me the most is¡¡¯Hakuki¡¯.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. In addition, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s influence is still deep-rooted both in the Demon Realm and among the demon races. There are religious groups iming ¡®God, Tre¡¯ainar, will be reborn. Search for the Reincarnation, God¡¯s Second Coming.¡® and hunters whose eyes change at the legend of ¡®Buried treasure left by the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡® being circted.¡±
For several years after the war, His Majesty and the Master were constantly struggling with all the hard work, but their eyes, which watched over the princess and the young masters, were still gentle, and their troubles were full of the will to work harder for the children of theing era.
That¡¯s why I¡¯ve always decided from an early age that I should protect Little man and raise him properly for my benevolent Master and Madam.
¡°Come, Little man. Let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°Sadiz, it¡¯s embarrassing, so don¡¯t pick me up.¡±
¡°No, he¡¯s still a child, so he¡¯ll be in my arms. Also, you yed outside and got filthy, so I¡¯ll give you a bath and get you cleaned up.¡±
Even if he tried to budge, I will forcibly hug Little man and show that, ¡®He¡¯s mine¡¯.
The princess was groveling and gnashing her teeth after being spanked by me.
¡°Ugh~, Earth¡ ah, Sadiz. Earth is mine¡¡±
Yes, eventually Little man will be the princess¡¯¡. I knew that they would lead this empire, the world, and humanity to a better ce.
However, for me just a little bit longer¡ while holding such feelings, I¡¯ve always embraced Little man¡
¡°Who is still a child¡ I¡.. myself¡¡ I thought I knew more than my Master, the Madam, and more than anyone else in the world ¡¡±
I resent my ipetence and narrow sightedness from the bottom of my heart.
¡°Damn, I¡¯ll beat Sadiz someday! And be stronger than Sadiz¡. Someday¡ Someday¡ Sadiz¡ m, my, pretty ¡bride¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Fufu¡¡ give it your all, Little man.¡±
Why haven¡¯t I even been able to praise the stronger Little man directly yet?
When Little man grows up and bes stronger, it¡¯s my duty to tell him ¡°You¡¯ve done great¡± before anyone else.
And yet, I can¡¯t even speak to him now, he ignores me, I give chase and can¡¯t catch up.
Looking at the back of the boy running through at the speed of light that I couldn¡¯t catch up with, I bit my lips and desperately chased after him.

For how long, I wonder....
I might have been underestimating Earth, who was always on equal footing with me, no, who was pulling everyone as our leader when I was young.
Among us childhood friends, Earth did not have unrivaled growth rate or special talent like Rebal and Fu.
Earth himself seemed to be aware of that when he entered the Academy, he didn¡¯t talk about his dreams like he used to, and was somewhat sulky.
I was strict with Earth, telling him that ¡°This is not good enough for the man who will be my husband and the next Emperor of this country ¡± and ¡°Make Earth a better man¡±, trying to fulfill my duty as a ¡°fianc¨¦¡±.
In fact, I wanted to go on dates like couples of my age do without worrying about the public eye, but I had to restrain myself and endure it until Earth became man enough to notin to anyone.
asionally, there might have been girls trying to woo Earth, but erm, well, that was, umm.
At the very least, until I graduated from the Academy... that¡¯s what I thought. But Earth was also a boy. The information from Sadiz also confirmed that he was in possession of a smutty book. If Earth couldn¡¯t bear it, well, I was prepared to go anytime, but in the end Earth never came on to me.
That¡¯s why I sometimes felt anxious.
Doesn¡¯t Earth want to make progress with me? Huh?
Because of that anxiety, when I learned that Earth was trying to beat me and win the match and confess to something, I was so happy that I could ascend to heaven.
And when Earth wielded enough power to overwhelm Rebal, I was astonished, but at the same time thrilled.
The charm of Earth as a man exceeded my tolerance, and I was so aroused that I wanted him to embrace me immediately.
However, Earth ran away from me who was in such a dreamy state.
I have no idea why. He hit Lord Hiro, despaired over something, and, ording to hearsay, wielded the power of the once-destroyed Great Demon King.
I was always with him at the academy and had many a mock battle with Earth.
I know the power of Earth better than anyone else in the world, even better than Sadiz. Even I didn¡¯t know the power that Earth wielded.
It was clear that something was happening to Earth without my knowledge.
However, no matter how much I think about it, I couldn¡¯t understand it.
That¡¯s why I¡¯m on the chase for him.
No matter what kind of wife I be, I will not be a woman who just sits still.
¡°Phianse... No..... Princess. Leave it up to us to track Earth down.¡±
¡°What did you say, Lady Mamu? As a wife, would you leave your husband if he ran from home?¡±
¡°That... yeah...... me, Hiro and His Majesty... if it really did happen someday. We were talking about our dreams.... but...... that was our wish.... and we were ignoring Earth¡¯s feelings. And we...¡±
¡°??¡±
¡°To you... I¡¯m really sorry... we¡¯ve done something that gave you strange expectations....¡±
Really. I¡¯ve even made my future mother this concerned for me.
In other words, in the current situation where Earth has done various things and has been cursed by the people of the Imperial City, it would be difficult for Earth to be my husband, and it was rather difficult to let me do this out of concern for the trouble he would cause me...
¡°You needn¡¯t say a word, Lady Mamu.¡±
¡°Princess...¡±
¡°Certainly... I didn¡¯t know about Earth... my life¡¯s greatest failure as far as I¡¯m concerned.¡±
Why did Earth do this? What happened to Earth?
However, even if I worry about it, I won¡¯t get an answer by dwelling on it, so it¡¯s no use thinking about it now.
¡°But if I didn¡¯t know... I¡¯ll learn from now on. Then, no matter what he did, no matter what the world thinks of Earth, I will not abandon Earth. I will not give up on Earth.¡±
That¡¯s right. Our mutual love is precious.... we can already be called couple with no objections, and as a couple, we have no intention of separating, in order words, we¡¯re basically husband and wife. [1]
¡°No, it doesn¡¯t seem that... Earth... about the princess... umm...... as a woman...¡±
¡°Yes, I understand. Then, I¡¯ll make him fall in love again after catching him. That¡¯s fine with you, right?¡±
¡°Princess!¡±
¡°Hmm, you think I¡¯ll back down from just that? Obstacles are inherent in love, and it will only they burn brighter when they are ovee. Then, let¡¯s go capture Earth!¡±
Too much, Mamu was so concerned about me that she said something like ¡°Earth doesn¡¯t love me anymore ...¡±. She said such a ¡°lie¡± to keep me away from this matter it seems, but I¡¯m not childish enough to fall for such tricks.
Earth and me. Our connection cannot be severed or overturned by anyone.
From ¡°that time¡± when we first came across my Earth ....
¡°That¡¯s why I told you to wait, hey... Earth!¡±
However, to make a woman chase after you, a considerable amount of punishment is neededter.
And I¡¯m giving my best effort to catch up to him.
But no matter how much I run, I wonder how far...
¡°Why did he rush out and suddenly flee... who are you ... I don¡¯t understand the circumstances, but...¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh!!??¡±¡±¡±
Who? The voice of a young woman. And a presence.
The moment the three of us stopped at the same time, three small knives fell from above and stabbed to the ground before us.
¡°Who¡¯s there? You¡¯re being impolite to us!¡±
¡°This is... Kunai? Ninja Warrior!¡±
¡°...... Who are you?¡±
When I looked up, a woman was on the branch of a tree.
¡°I mean no disrespect. But, you see, to give priority to Honey¡¯s feelings I¡¯m going to be an inconvenience and stop you here.¡±
¡°What... huh?¡±
A mysterious ck-haired woman. She seemed to be standing in front of us in order to impede our pursuit for the fleeing Earth... what kind of rtionship does she have with Earth?
¡°Ho... honey?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I..... met him the other day, and he showed me such charm as a man that I... fell madly in love with him.¡±
Ha?
¡°But I¡¯ve only just met him. I don¡¯t want to be thought of as a clingy flirt following him around on his journey to live freely in the moment. So all I can do now is support and help him from the shadows as a shinobi... that¡¯s why, I will not let you go any further.¡±
Honey? Ha, h-h-honiii? Th, this person, th, this woman.
¡°Hey... what are you saying... I don¡¯t know what happened between you and Earth, but don¡¯t scamper around my husband... Earth and I have been friends since we were little! Neers who came outter should back off!¡±
She gives me the creeps. My guts are boiling over. A thieving cat was trying to put a wedge between me and Earth...
¡°Husband? Since you were little.... oh, I see... that¡¯s what you mean...¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°You¡¯re his first love, the one who¡¯s still on his mind.¡±
¡°Hmm? That¡¯s right!¡± [2]
¡°Fufufu, I see... that¡¯s what you mean.¡±
Then the thieving cat looked at me and nodded as if she was satisfied with something, and snickered as if to ridicule me.
¡°No matter how much I¡¯ve fallen for him, I still just met him. If there¡¯s a woman he¡¯s had long-standing feelings for and can¡¯t forget... if that woman would make him happier than me... I was thinking of silently stepping aside, but...¡±
¡°Wha? Wh-what the hell?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t mean to be very rude, but... surely, you are a beautiful woman, breasts are so-so... but, fufu, the thought that you could win at all.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
At that moment, I understood.
Earth was getting farther away due to this strange pause.
However, even if I ignore this woman here, she will continue to stand in the way.
She¡¯s an enemy that must be struck down right here and now.
¡°Earth became so popr... before I knew it ...¡±
¡°Little man...¡±
To be honest, this is not the time to be involved with such a person.
However, my instinct as a woman are telling me.
¡°It can¡¯t be helped. Mother...... I¡¯ll stay.¡±
¡°Oh well... about the first love stuff and all that, seems there¡¯s been some weird misunderstandings...¡±
I can¡¯t run away from this woman.
And it¡¯s neither Lady Mamu nor Sadiz who should defeat her.
It¡¯s me.
¡°The two of you, chase after Earth. I will take care of this.¡±
¡°¡±No!? Princess!?¡±¡±
They are hesitant to go ahead without me, but they can¡¯t say so.
¡°This is an order! We can¡¯t afford to lose sight of Earth! That¡¯s why you have to go ahead and catch him! I¡¯ll punish this cat and catch up soon!¡±
¡°Ku, Princess, but...¡±
¡°Who do you think I am! If we let him get away, it¡¯s all for nothing!¡±
¡°Then, at least I¡¯ll stay... whatever the circumstances, we can¡¯t have leave the princess on her own.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll do it! No, I have to do it! Quickly, go! You¡¯re going to lose sight of him! This is a battle of pride not as a princess, but as a woman!¡±
¡°Ah, gah... U, understood, princess, but be careful! Don¡¯t overdo it!¡±
So I emphasized that this was an order and let the two of them go.
¡°Hold it, no one¡¯s going ¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. You will never go near Earth again.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Imperial Spear ? Agrestic Spearhead!! ¡¿¡±
I let fly a thrust of my spear, simr to wind pressure, and she avoided my attack.
I see, it seemed she¡¯s a little capable, this woman.
¡°Wind Art!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Unveiled Hidden Romance Jutsu! ¡¿¡±
Moreover, to attack while evading? Magic? No, I don¡¯t feel much magic power.
Wind?
However, it was only a light breeze being blown at my feet... eh?
¡°Ah, s-skirt... ku, what the hell are you doing?¡±
My skirt was rolled up a little.
Well, since the opponent was a woman, it doesn¡¯t matter if she sees my underwear in the least....
¡°Oh... not white...... for the most part, his taste is restrained.¡±
¡°Nu!? Wh, what?¡±
¡°What¡¯s more, high-quality silk... I wonder if she¡¯s a properdy. They said she was a princess, but, not entirely....¡±
¡°No, hey, wait a minute! Why all of the sudden...¡±
Earth¡¯s taste? Wh, what do you mean?
¡°Do you not know? His favorite underwear is white.... by the way, the other day, he had a look at mine.¡±
Earth, panties!? N-no, ma-maybe he has seen mine, without me realizing they could be seen.... but yeah, does Earth like white.... I, I just happened to wear ck today, but... no no, more importantly, Earth and this woman, wha, what¡¯s with looking at panties other than mine!
Punishment is necessary after all.
But on the other hand, me and Earth were too tonic. Or rather, I do not show such openings so much, so maybe that¡¯s why Earth is messing with smutty books.
Well, then, I don¡¯t mind showing you my panties, if that¡¯s the case.
Nununu, panties ... as it is, Earth may get a nosebleed and ravish me... but if it happened, it would.... mfufu. [3]
Now, rather than that, I should focus on the indecent woman in front of me.
¡°Hmm. A woman with dreams beyond her station... you¡¯ll learn to the depths of your pores just whose man you¡¯re trying to make a move on.¡±
¡°Fall to obscurity as soon as possible. I¡¯ll put to rest the ghosts of the past that torment him.¡±
We can¡¯tpromise with each other. We who collided with such feelings......
¡°I¡¯ll at least ask your name first. What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Shinobu Stoke.¡±
¡°Is that so. I¡¯m ¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I know. You¡¯re...... the woman in his thoughts, Sadiz.¡± [4]
¡°...... huh?¡±
Eh...... huh?
¡°...wrong...?¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
No, why did she mistake me for Sadiz?
¡°¡±...........................¡±¡±
And, why are you so surprised with that vacant look?
Or rather, what a ridiculous misunderstanding?
¡°Well, in any case, Earth is...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Either way, Honey is...¡±
We immediately regained ourposure and prepared for each other.
¡°¡±Mine!!¡±¡±
And, mutually refusing to concede, we shed with each other... it was then.
¡°Nay... THAT ONE IS MINE¡±
¡°¡±Eh... eehh!!??¡±¡±
¡°Know thy ce... Little Human Lasses¡±
And I lost consciousness at that point.
Author¡¯s Note
It¡¯s hot. I can¡¯t stand Cool Biz, Super Cool Biz, or my usual naked Biz.
It¡¯s so hot that the head does not work. Therefore, it was because of the heat that I had forgotten the princess¡¯s name.
[S1] [https://youtu.be/wYFEM6BCe20]
[S2] WRONG!!!!
[S3] Yeah, Shinobu¡¯s right! Nothing Princess-like here...
[S4] Again, WRONG!!!
Chapter 90 – Intermission (Dark Valkyrie)
Chapter 90 ¨C Intermission (Dark Valkyrie)
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Kuh, kill me!¡±
I remember it still.
Down to thest second, how long since we first met, and how long my servitude to him?
At that first encounter, I was but a foolish little girl, yet to know of naught.
The great sinner that looked up to the ipetent Odin, who never showed voice or visage as a Deity, and raised arms to the true God, foolish of me.
It was I, as a Valkyrie in the Heavens.
¡°Never will I yield to demons!¡±
¡®The Kingdom of the Clouds, Ang Kingdom¡¯ has existed since times of old, a realm inhabited only by our tribe, the Seraphs. They, in essence, did not interfere with the Surface world.
Legends. Fairy tale. A paradise of beautiful goddesses, their wings pping. Many are the tales spread on the Surface, but such a world truly exists.
Born on the clouds, raised on the clouds, taught on the clouds, conceive on the clouds, live on the clouds, and die on the clouds. That was us, the Seraphs.
However, that the war between the demons and the Surface world would intensify, and its influence reverberate to the heavens was cause for concern. Hence I believed the war ought to end soonest, and stormed the Demon Realm for the head of the Demon King.
Why assail the Demon Realm? Because ¡°The Demon King is evil¡± was the breadth of my wisdom.
Therefore, it was the evil demons who wage war, invade the Surface World and spread their malice. As the purveyor of such acts, defeating the Demon King would ce me on the side of Justice. My role, I believed, was to be God¡¯s instrument.
And, after vanquishing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Demon King himself appeared before me, and against his overwhelming power, I, for the first time in my life, suffered defeat.
¡°Hoh~¡ did you cut a strand of my hair¡ tis an aplishment in itself. As expected, you have a ¡®good eye¡¯.¡±
A single strand of hair. I prided myself as the strongest, yet for all my power, I could only inflict that much on the Great Demon King, and nothing more.
The world mightiest, I believe myself to be, an apostle of God, hence my prideid shattered and I await death¡¯s summon.
However, that One said to me as I crawled on the ground.
¡°Hmm, a little Seraph girl as a Valkyrie¡ intellect beyond human wisdom, still young and beautiful, the power to fully rout the Demon King Army¡ tis regrettable¡. such great promise, may eventually influence the fate of the Demon King army and the Demon Realm as well, but I am to crush such a possibility¡¡±
Shocking were the words to me as I thought I was to die, but determined not to plead for my life at least.
¡°Beautiful¡± and ¡°regrettable¡± the Demon King said. Any clear-headed person would understand.
Yes, transcending the world, his race, and all the barriers, he fell in love with me, The Demon King did.
Curious I once was about the Demon King¡¯s true gender, but it doesn¡¯t matter anymore.
However, in his position as the Demon King and mine as his enemy, he cannot show mercy.
What love tragedy!
Even back home, my only interest was improving myself, so to be clear, I had no experience with romance.
Women longingly gaze at me though of same gender and call me ¡°Elder sister¡±, and the rancid filthy men approached me, but I paid them no mind.
In the first ce, I couldn¡¯t imagine associating with those weaker than I.
However, different it was with the Demon King. Stronger than I am. Nay, the very first being I¡¯vee across in my life that was stronger than me.
Moreover, for such an existence to fall in love with one such as I. How could such be somentable?
But I cannot ept those feelings.
Because I¡¯m a Valkyrie. This body and soul are dedicated to Father Odin, the Great God.
¡°Odin¡ if you are to die some unseen figure, so be it.¡±
Jealousy of Odin! My dedication to Odin has brought forth jealousy in The Demon King.
At that moment, this heart of mine throbbed. And concurrently, my thoughts were swayed.
Why did I devote myself and my heart to Odin in the first ce? In my home, Odin is our God.
However, never have I met him, never have I seen him, never have I heard his voice. However, because my parents and kin worshiped him as ¡°God¡± and I was educated so, it was only natural that I did the same.
But, upon consideration, never has Odin done anything for me.
What meaning is there in such an existence? In Odin? Is it not a parasite that, despite being an ipetent that contributes nothing, continues to deceive by brainwashing education from times of our ancestors and attempts to settle in our hearts and minds?
On the other hand, here before me stands one who is stronger than me and has affection for me.
However, he struggles with all manner of obstacles and situations, and tries to conceal his heart as he fights the world for hispanions, races, and the Demon Realm.
Realizing the too precious nature of such a figure, I was moved.
Be at ease. Thou¡ Thou need not suffer so much.
Thou need not be jealous of that froth Odin.
However, the Demon King would not be able to take me away with his own hands and make me his woman.
Then, the only way to be with him was to stand by his side.
¡°¡¡ I won¡¯t plead for life¡. but¡¡ Great Demon King¡ allow me to be thy right arm.¡±
¡°¡¡ Heh.¡±
My proposal surprised even the Demon King. Well, in the end I was epted, after various encounters with fastidious aging veterans.
Naturally, in the Demon King¡¯s Army, I started as lowly infantry.
However, I did away with my rivals and rose to the rank of General in but a few years.
In the midst of the war, still enthralled by dross Odin¡¯s deceit, my former kin tried to steal me back, but they were all routed. Such bitter and sorrowful voices from ones I¡¯ve shared much with, my formerrade, underlings, elders, brothers and sisters, and¡ my own parents, but particrly, I felt no hurt in my heart.
Compared to the charm of the Demon King, they were but dregs. On the contrary, my despair was in the opposite sense.
Was time spent with such ipetents wasted, I wondered.
And, after all, the scum called Odin never appeared despite all that was done to the Seraphs.
Truly, an insignificant society and race.
And¡..
¡°The Seraphs¡ are no apostles of God¡ long ago, white-winged avian harpies and other beasts ¡®mixed¡¯ among the humans, and evolved¡. however, the fellowship was persecuted by the people of the past, and those capable of powerful magic used clouds and created a world, a paradise for only the winged people¡ and handed down lore iming to be Apostles of the God Odin tofort themselves ¡. that is all.¡±
Revealed the truth was one day, one that even I didn¡¯t know.
Imposters, they were all along.
¡°I¡ so, until I met you¡ was but a pretender¡ ha, haha¡ what wasteful days¡¡±
Learning the truth, though I had no longing for my family or home, I felt despair.
However, he said to me.
¡°If you think that everything was meant to shape who you are today¡ the days that seemed useless will not be in vain¡¡±
And I understood.
¡°Without a doubt, anyone can do it if they simply believe. However, tis not easy to fight and risk your life with such feelings. As a result, if your existence fostered strength, not all of it would be in vain.¡±
¡°Great Demon King¡¡±
¡°And¡ depending on your situation, there will be various opinions about whether or not your actions were right. However, now that you havee to our side, the number of demons and soldiers who would be casualties of war has been decreased significantly¡ the lives of many demons were saved and protected¡ I have no choice but to admit that tis an undeniable fact.¡±
Those were the words that saved my heart.
A truly free love. An infinite vessel.
And I understood.
Nay. It¡¯s no longer love, it¡¯s nothing so low anymore.
Convinced I was that he is ¡°God¡±.
This is the ¡®God¡¯ worthy of dedication and servitude.
It was no longer worship.
I fight for God and die for Him with my all.
My entire existence is for God.
At the same time however, there was also anxiety.
God is the unique being. But what then if something were to befall God?
God does not beget children like the horses and monkeys around him.
God has been an absolute existence for a thousand and ten thousand years, and I will continue to protect Him from all threats.
However, one in one billion. One in one trillion. The possibility cannot be dispelled.
Above all, God may have a lifespan.
If so, the world will lose God.
That alone is uneptable.
So I advised.
The Next God ? Creation Project.
But God said, ¡°Nonsense¡±, and refused my counsel.
The word of God is absolute. Therefore, if God says so, it is natural to obey.
But there I choose not to follow.
Because I worship God, I didn¡¯t think my n was folly.
But if God was not to have a child, I must devise another way.
And the required material was already present to me.
Ancient Forbidden Magik from the destroyed city of Sorcery, Shiznautmy.
Both my eye¡¯s ¡®Heraldic Eye¡¯.
Residing in my talisman, the ¡®Hair¡¯ from my first encounter with ¡®God¡¯.
Using it I ¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°I wondered if the hero, Hiro¡¯s foolish act of destroying God would stain the world with despair, but¡ after all, my scheme was right¡¡±
15 years have passed since God¡¯s destruction.
During that time, to avoid the eyes of the Allied Forces, the Seven Heroes, and the Demons who turned on us, ¡®We¡¯ remained in hiding, but the time has finallye.
That¡¯s why all that was needed was the ¡®Final Key¡¯.
However, finding one worthy of being that Final Key proved most difficult.
But fate smiled upon us.
Not only the Heroes, but the children of the Seven Heroes, will eventually pose a threat to ¡®us¡¯. To confirm their power, the previous match held in the Imperial City was monitored through magic crystal, but I never expected the ¡®Final Key¡¯ would be there.
In order to make the Final Key, I even trained a talented youngd, but it didn¡¯t matter anymore.
Even though he wasn¡¯t under my tutge, lo and behold a ¡®man¡¯ wielding the power of the ¡®Demon King¡¯ appeared.
How that man was able to use the power of the Great Demon King, I do not know. However, such a thing should be examined at ater time. It¡¯s a small matter in front of the fact that the power of the Great Demon King was used. No matter who the man is rted to.
Whatever may happen, it will be in my possession.
¡°Well, in any case, Earth is¡ Mine!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Either way, Honey is¡ Mine!¡±
All obstacles that flock will be scattered.
¡°Nay¡ THAT ONE IS MINE¡±
¡°¡±Eh¡ eehh!!??¡±¡±
¡°Know thy ce¡ Little Human Lasses¡±
And¡.. that is ours.
¡°Well¡ these little girls do not matter¡ the problem is¡ Mamu¡¡±
By no means, fate added Mamu to the proceedings. This may prove troubling.
It can be settled here, but I cannot afford to allow the key¡¯s escape in the meantime.
Besides, the magik of the Breakthrough runs low.
Apparently, that doesn¡¯t seem to be able to use ¡®Magic Breathing¡¯. Or does he not know of it?
In any case, they will soon catch up.
No choice¡¡
¡°If that¡¯s the case¡ the consumption of magik is vast, but¡ to secure the key¡ must I ¡®warp¡¯?¡±
Key and Mamu, soon I¡¯ll catch up.
The ancient magik used since times when ¡®we¡¯ were once on the run from our pursuers¡
¡°?????????????????????????¡ Long-distance Transfer Magik, ¡¾J?RU¡¿¡±
And, with the key unaware, I absorbed him into space-time of my creation.

Chapter 91 ¨C Church
Tranted by: Sads07
To be honest, I didn¡¯t know what happened.
However, the breakthrough ran out, my magic power was gone, my physical strength had been drained and fatigue from the battle against Toulowe and Bro had reached its limit.
Mother and Sadiz chasing after me.
As my legs were about to stop at the sound of their voices calling to me, I was swallowed up by a ck vortex that appeared right before my eyes.
Some kind of magic? The power of mother or Sadiz? It seemed that Tre¡¯ainar was screaming something just before, but now I don¡¯t know what it was.
I was so exhausted that I couldn¡¯t resist anymore and left myself to the whirlpool, and before I knew it, I found myself far from conscious.
What the hell was that ....
¡°... wh ... what¡¯s going on?¡±
Then, when I realized it, I woke up again.
A fluffy bed on my back. Warm sheets. And an unfamiliar ceiling.
When I sat up and looked around the room, it reminded me of the infirmary in the academy building.
Is this a medical office?
¡°...... did I, get caught? I mean... it can¡¯t be ... the Imperial City?¡±
If so, it¡¯s the worst.
But my prediction was soon disproved.
¡ºNo, tis not. Tis far from the Imperial City. Not even... in the Empire.¡»
¡°Oh, hiya.¡±
¡ºYou have slept quite a lot. Well, it means you used that much of your power...¡»
Beside the bed was Tre¡¯ainar, who was sighing, ¡®finally awake¡¯.
¡°But, it¡¯s not the Empire? What happened to me? What¡¯s that vortex?¡±
¡ºThat... there is so much afoot.... and you... if I do say so myself... tis going to be quite the nuisance.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
As I was stretching out my drowsiness, Tre¡¯ainar, with a strange expression, suddenly said that to me.
Involuntarily, I was surprised and woke up at once.
¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡ºFirst of all. Just before you were caught by Mamu and the maid, you were transferred far away by that woman¡¯s magic... that was the vortex.¡»
¡°...... Huh? Wh, what? T-Transferred?¡±
¡ºTis so. To be clear, movement through space-time is super-high grade magic, above ¡°giga-ss¡±...... and forbidden due to its magical property to twist space and time.¡»
¡°Wa, wai, eeh? S-Space? So, this really isn¡¯t the Empire? And who would do that? Don¡¯t tell me... was it Shinobu?¡±
¡ºTis not that shinobi. And..... tis more troublesome.¡»
You think it¡¯s more troublesome than Shinobu? A woman more troublesome than Shinobu is in this world.... No..... But...... Shinobu is a pretty nice person, isn¡¯t she?
How should I put it, who it is.... Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s.... acquaintance? Someone you know?
¡°Besides... there¡¯s...... mom and... Sadiz, that...¡±
I¡¯m worried about this, but what about those two?
¡ºI know not what happened, but... well, there should be no problem. That one may have a grudge against Mamu, but she will not take revenge at the moment. Tis surely why she kidnapped you with such great magic.¡»
¡°Eh, k-kidnap... I ... was I kidnapped?¡±
¡ºAh...¡»
¡°Who was it? Who brought me, and where in the world am I?¡±
¡ºThat is... hnn?¡»
¡°Ah!¡±
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar and I noticed a presence approaching this room.
Presences... Two of them...
¡°Oh, upsy daisy... sorry, barging in yo. Oh, you¡¯re up!¡±
¡°......Un......¡±
I had been bracing myself, but suddenly suffered disappointment as if I had lost my strength.
Two women dressed as nuns opened the door of the room and came in... no, women were women, but....pared to me they¡¯re both...
¡°Oh, nice to meet you. Name¡¯s ¡®Karui¡¯! I¡¯m 13 years old attending the Cacretale School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! And, I serve as a sister of the church at times, a straight neat and tidy maiden!¡±
As I thought she was younger than me, that¡¯s exactly right. Two years younger. Also cheerful and noisy.
She had short cut red hair, a happy-go-lucky, over-familiar attitude and got touchy without warning.
And.....
¡°......¡¯Amae¡¯....un¡±
A little girl was peeking at me while hiding behind Karui.
She¡¯s trying to hide her eyes under the nun outfit¡¯s deep hood.
For the time being, she muttered what seemed to be her name, bowed to me with a nk look, and immediately hid behind Karui.
¡°Nahahaha, no~, I¡¯m sorry. This one is shy, but if you get used to it or allow her heart to open up, her attitude will change, so do your best to open your heart!¡±
Saying that, Karuiughed as she stroked the head of a small child named Amae.
No, do your best. No, no, no, before that.
¡°Wait, wait... there¡¯s a lot going on, but... first, where are we? Why am I here? So, what are you? ...... hey, wait a minute. Come to think of it, you... just now... ¡®Cacretale¡¯......¡±
Yes, the first step is to confirm the situation. There were so many different ¡°what¡± I couldn¡¯t get it all straight.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. If we talk about the country... this is the Country of Cacretale. And this is the infirmary of the Great Church in the capital.¡±
¡°...... Ca, Cacretale!? That¡¯s the big, isted ind nation!?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s it!¡±
¡°Well, then, isn¡¯t it bad for me?¡±
Cacretale. I¡¯ve heard it, if just the name.
An ind country floating in the sea of the Surface World.
A country that had little to no interaction with other countries and was therefore cut off from information.
In the past, they did not participate in the Allied Forces, which was created by the rallying of most human nations in the war with the Demon Realm, and resisted the Demon King¡¯s army on their own.
Because it was a secluded country, sneaking in was a punishable offence, and you would not be allowed to set foot in the country without permission.
I mean, I¡¯m in that country, right?
¡°Well, for the time being, I don¡¯t get it either, but it¡¯s okay because the ¡®High Priestess¡¯ brought you in, right? In this country, where the civil war has ended, the High Priestess has the most power.¡±
¡°...... The High Priestess?¡±
The High Priestess? What¡¯s more, there was a terrible civil war.... wait a minute...
¡°Well, such is the way of things.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeh!!??¡±¡±¡±
¡°No need to be hesitant. Well...... I¡¯d be at a loss if thou lingered on without improving thyself.¡±
At that time, I was about to get a headache for a lot of things, but soon all my thoughts were blown away, and when I noticed, I was standing on the bed, reflexively bracing myself.
¡°Eh, ah...wha...¡±
¡°Hmm, that¡¯s a good response. That¡¯s fine. Were I an enemy, thou might have died had the guard been a few seconds slower...¡±
Sweat spouted all over my body in an instant.
There was a beautiful woman.
She had long ck hair and a voluptuous and attractive body covered with a ck priestess¡¯ uniform.
In her hand, she held a shining scepter.
At first nce, she gave the impression that she¡¯s just a ¡®beautiful and sexy woman¡¯, but I was so on guard.
It was because my body reacted to the strange power I felt from the woman in front of me.
¡°W-Who are you ...¡±
Strong. And more terrifying than anyone I¡¯ve ever met... much more than Mr. Aka... deep and dark.
¡°I... The High Priestess.... shall give you my real name eventually, Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Oh, my name... ah, that¡¯s right... so you¡¯re the one who brought me here with that vortex magic?¡±
¡°Indeed.¡±
¡°...... You¡¯re kidding... hey...... that...... my mother and...¡±
¡°Worry not. Mamu and I have much that binds us, but I didn¡¯t do anything.¡±
¡°...... Really...... I wonder?¡±
¡°Ah¡±
When I nced at Tre¡¯ainar, he was looking at the woman with a serious face and his arms folded.
After all, do you know Tre¡¯ainar?
Well, this person.... doesn¡¯t seem to be human...
¡°Well, do rest up for a while. However, as I said before, I don¡¯t want thee to linger too long. Thou were brought to this country because I need... something of thee.¡±
¡°...... Wha, eh, what?¡±
¡°Until then, thou should reside in this church. As for thy personal affairs, Karui and Amae who are here ... Hmm? Say, Karui... what has be of ¡®Tsukshi¡¯?¡±
So, all of a sudden? You want me to do something? And there¡¯s still another woman in this church...
¡°Oh, I think sister is probably at the dojo, right? I¡¯m sure she¡¯s still trying to give her favorite ¡®Machio¡¯ a healthy meal or something like that ...... if Machio, who doesn¡¯t know about the ¡®supplementary prize¡¯, wins ¡®thatpetition¡¯ ...... they won¡¯t end up together.... it¡¯s such a sad fate, but... wait a minute! High Priestess, you just said that he can stay here!? No, no, no, this is a maiden¡¯s garden!?¡±
¡°Hh... Don¡¯t say that. This one has special permission. Above all...... this man... could be the cupid that binds Machio and Tsukshi. This one... at least for the moment...... is already stronger than Bro.¡±
¡°...... Eh!? Oh, that¡¯s right!? No, no, no, seriously!? More than Mr. Bro!? Well, I was wondering what would happen after Bro left, but seriously?¡±
Suddenly, I got excited.
What the hell is that?
Do you also know Bro?
Then Karui, with her eyes shining, stared at me, and Amae also looked at me with a sh of interest.
I don¡¯t know what it was, but the High Priestess smiled.
¡°In three months¡¯ time... a tournament will be held in this country. The ¡®Arcane True Zenith Fighting Competition¡¯............ I will ask thee participate in said tournament and win the championship. Until then, thou will not leave this country. Well, I have taken numerous measures to prevent thy escape, but...¡±
¡°Ha!!?¡±
¡°The winning privilege of the championship is an ¡®enormous treasure¡¯. And, a ¡®Supplementary prize¡¯. Well, the winner will receive the supplementary prize as well. Only I and my church as overseers of the tournament are aware of it.... something amazing.... a tremendous honor.... do look forward to it and give it thy all.¡±
Arcane True Zenith? True Zenith...... that¡¯s what Bro was using.... no, a tournament? And the winner? Why would I do that?
I mean... why would I ever do that when I was brought here without consent?
Not good...... I can¡¯t organize anything in my head, and I can¡¯t even retort.
Author¡¯s Note
Now, I feel that the introduction is finally over and the story begins in earnest.
The theme of the new series is ¡°Even if a warrior from another country or a magic school appears in the new world, if you look down on a person without knowing what you¡¯re doing, you¡¯ll make a harem, and the author will shave his head and apologize.¡±
This summer, not only measures against poor health from the heat, I will do my best to be careful not to be greasy.

I didn¡¯t understand what she was saying to me.
In the first ce, why should I participate in such a tournament?
What¡¯s more, this from a suspicious person who kidnapped me without permission.
Besides, if this was a secluded nation, it¡¯s doubtful that I¡¯d really be able to sit around and rx in here.
¡°Hmm ... still wary as expected. But...... thou ought to reconsider attempting escape with the breakthrough, right? A barrier surrounds this ind at the moment... even with the Magic Spiral, thy current level is insufficient to break it.¡±
¡°Eh... wh-what?¡±
I had a long sleep and was able to fully recover my physical strength and magical power as well.
Now, I can trigger a breakthrough again.
This High Priestess in front of me must be quite powerful, but if it¡¯s just to run away... as if seeing through my thoughts, the High Priestess disavowed it.
There¡¯s a barrier?
¡°Well, prior to that, why does thou know the Breakthrough and the Great Magic Spiral!?¡±
That¡¯s right. How do you know about my skills? Who the hell are you......
¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll inform thee another time. In the meantime, worry not. Train here for three months, win the tournament, and... help me with a little matter. That is all.¡±
¡°No, hey, wait! There¡¯s more! You said until I won the championship, but what do you mean by helping a little after that?¡±
This was the first time we¡¯ve met. But I knew. She¡¯s probably telling the truth.
Not about barriers or anything like that, just that they won¡¯t let me go until their goal has been achieved.
Absolutely never let go.
That mood was conveyed from every word.
¡°To begin with, what¡¯s the point, that something-or-other tournament... why do I have to be in something like that?¡±
¡°Hmm, the Arcane True Zenith Fighting Competition... a tournament where ¡®men¡¯ proud of their skills gather from all over this country topete for power. As a man, there are no entry requirements for participation in the tournament. Be it students of the magick school, former rank and file soldiers of the kingdom, or even paupers. And, as the organizer of the tournament, it is my rmendation for thee to participate.¡±
¡°...But, so...Why me...?¡±
¡°In fact, I tried to limit it to only practitioners of the Arcane True Zenith school, but then the ¡®winner¡¯ is almost certain to be ¡®that Man¡¯... in which case, I thought to allow entry to anyone, whatever their discipline, so the door was opened to all besides those involved with the Arcane True Zenith. It was the right choice.¡±
Normally, I would have resisted, saying, ¡®Even if I¡¯m told I can¡¯t escape, I¡¯ll try to see if it¡¯s true¡¯.
But I couldn¡¯t take action, and all I could do was throw verbal jabs.
After all, I could tell.
She¡¯s strong... if I¡¯m unlucky... at the level of the Seven Heroes...
Then, at that time.
¡°Please do it!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Hn!¡±
¡°Ha?¡±
Karui and Amae firmly sped my hand.
¡°I want big brother to participate in this tournament and prevent a man from winning the championship! It¡¯s about a woman¡¯s love!¡±
¡°Hmm!¡±
With that said, they held on with their feverish hands and begged me seriously.
No, love? What¡¯s that about...
¡°Oh, and by the way... do you have a girlfriend or something, big brother?¡±
¡°Ha? Wh what the heck, all of a sudden...n... no, I don¡¯t.¡±
Shinobu professed her feelings, but we still haven¡¯t gone out or anything like that... the matter with Sadiz was painful, so let¡¯s not trudge up that memory.
But what does the tournament have to do with love?
Besides, whether I have a girlfriend or not...
¡°Really? In that case, there¡¯s no problem! Yes, yes, that was ideal! Then, you might be pleased with the supplementary prize, too... Then I want you to do your best!¡±
¡°...... Good luck...¡±
And I was being wholeheartedly supported by them.
No, no, I don¡¯t understand the situation well, but at great pains, I was growing ustomed to them.
I don¡¯t want to get caught up in a mess that I don¡¯t understand.
¡°Hmm... Although...... as things are, winning the tournament is ¡®absolutely impossible¡¯.¡±
¡°... Nu?¡±
The moment I thought I would somehow get out of this ce and somehow managed to escape the barrier of the Great Priestess, she said words as if to try me....
And, although it was too simple a provocation, it was not easy to hear.
¡°...What was that?¡±
¡°Just as I have said. I had the privilege of watching thy match through the magic crystal. There certainly were some highlights. But currently... victory is impossible.... that¡¯s why, do put in the effort.¡±
It was simply as good as saying that I wasn¡¯t strong enough.
But at the same time I was wondering.
¡°...... I don¡¯t know what it is. In the first ce, why do you want me to win so much? Somehow, when I win the championship, ¡®something unpleasant will follow¡¯...... wouldn¡¯t you think?¡±
Why are you invested in my victory?
Then, the High Priestess shut her mouth a little to my question, but...
¡°Fufu... no choice then...... how is thy body?¡±
¡°Hmm? No, not particrly...¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll have thee join me in the chapel for a moment.¡±
Saying that, the High Priestess went out the door.
Karui and Amae followed after her.
For the time being, I raised my vignce to the maximum for whateveres and followed.
¡°This country of Cacretale has been isted for over a century, except for a few...... it¡¯s a closed and strict country, only the ¡®privileged ones¡¯ or ¡®those permitted to traverse its borders¡¯ possess information about the outside. Even those few, though, have been conditioned through various means so as not to leak inside information to the outside...¡±
The High Priestess walked down the hallway to the chapel and told me.
¡°However, the inhabitants of Cacretale are not simply ignorant, peaceful inders, they have a long history of civil warfare, including skirmishes.... in short, the country¡¯s inner affairs and shame have been hidden for years so other countries remain unaware.¡±
Civil war. I don¡¯t know that much, it hasn¡¯t been taught in academy sses.
Karui said such a thing a little while ago.
¡°But the civil war is over. The old regime brought low.... and the ¡®Founder God¡¯ sides with us.¡±
¡°Founder?¡±
Saying that, the High Priestess opened the door at the end of the corridor.
There was a spacious church chapel.
On the high ceiling, stained ss windows and ceiling paintings of angels reminiscent of holiness.
And in the chapel, there were a lot of seemingly ordinary people who came to pray.
¡°High Priestess!¡±
¡°O High Priestess.¡±
¡°So Beautiful today as well...¡±
When the people noticed the presence of the High Priestess, their eyes lit up and gave joyous expressions.
¡°Everyone is enthusiastic today, too...¡±
¡°Yes. It¡¯s all thanks to God that we, who were suffering from oppression, can live in this way ...¡±
¡°Fufu, your prayers of gratitude, certainly they have reached God.¡±
¡°Oh, thank you...¡±
Isn¡¯t this attitude different from before? Until a while ago, you were trying to get me into a fighting tournament, no questions asked, but now you have a tremendous expression ofpassion.
¡°By the way, Great Priestess... today ... is the ¡®Goddess¡¯ present?¡±
¡°The Goddess is resting in her room now. Hopefully she will be able to attend the uing congregation. At that time, you may worship the Goddess¡¯ precious visage.¡±
¡°Well! The uing congregation! I understand! I¡¯lle without fail. Oh...... what great fortune! To be able to worship the honorable face of the Goddess who saved us.¡±
So... Goddess? What? Again, I got a word I didn¡¯t know at all, but....
¡°...... ah.... is that?¡±
¡ºNu-oh!?¡»
And I found an ¡®outrageous item¡¯ on the altar of the chapel.
So outrageous, even Tre¡¯ainar was startled.
There stood a bronze statue made in the image of a certain person.
No, well, somehow.... that person, or rather....
¡°Fuh, do behold... young man.¡±
Then, the Great Priestess, who noticed my situation, smiled.
¡°That... The statue of the Founder God that is now spreading throughout Cacretale... whose true name is so sacred, we cannot even allow it to be uttered.... The Works, Teachings, and Creed of the Founder God inspired this country¡¯s people and brought the civil war to an end.¡±
No, that reputation sounds extremely forced.
This person, knowing what I know of the one the statue resembled, what a daring thing to say.
No, the person in that statue is ....
...... Really?
¡ºNo, hold on. Tis wrong. I have nothing to do with this.... Or rather, apologies. I cannot even process anything right now. Please give little time...¡»
When I asked the person whose image the statue was of, Tre¡¯ainar, the person in question, was holding his head and pondering something.
Yes, on the altar was a statue of a person resembling Tre¡¯ainar.
Why?
¡°Well... on to the next.¡±
¡°Eh? ah, well, already? I mean, where?¡±
The High Priestess told us to go to the ¡°next¡± without giving us time to think about the situation.
I mean, what¡¯s next?
¡°What, it¡¯s close by.... a facility right across from this church.... is a dojo where thou can learn about the work of the Founder God....¡±
¡°D, dojo?¡±
¡°Um. The Arcane True Zenith Dojo...... Conarmy City Headquarters. By the way, there are various branches, such as The Gord branch, Zabers branch, Mechros branch, and so on.... Well,e along.¡±
That said, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s been pushed around from the beginning.
Even Tre¡¯ainar is still holding his head.
After all, what is this woman all about?
But all I can say for the time being is... as I stepped into the dojo and the atmosphere of the dojo...... no, I saw the ¡®equipment¡¯ installed in the dojo that Tre¡¯ainar had never seen before... my tension was elevated and once again I¡¯m about to train.
Author¡¯s Note
Yesterday, the author¡¯s concern was more about shaving hair rather than the impressions of the work... and I¡¯m not going to shave, okay? I just said that I would shave if I made the ¡°that kind of development¡± that I exinedst time, but I¡¯ll do my best not to make it ¡°that kind of shit development¡±, so I¡¯m not going to shave?

Chapter 93 ¨C The Dojo
Tranted by: Sads07
Leaving the church, I went outside and saw the paved road in front of me.
Each square cut stone was evenly embedded in the ground, and buildings were lined up on either side of therge, spacious road.
Because it was a secluded nation, I thought it would feel more like a developing country, but it seemed I took them lightly.
¡°Come on, it¡¯s close by.¡±
As I was fascinated by the state of the city, the High Priestess called to me.
There was arge three-story building directly opposite the huge and artistic church.
That¡¯s the Arcane True Zenith or something Dojo.
Honestly, I set foot in the dojo with little interest, wondering why I was quietly following her.
And then¡¡
¡°Oh, Master¡¡±
¡°Hey there Master¡¡±
¡°Master!¡±
The moment I opened the door and went inside, a sudden gust of heat came upon my face.
The heat waspletely different inside than outside, probably because of the steam.
And there¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±Osu!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Men? These guys also say that¡ such men.
Some were about my age, and others old and bearded.
Everyone was covered in sweat, had well-trained bodies, and had a very strong impression.
¡°Hmm, don¡¯t strain thyself.¡±
The High Priestess responded to all of them with such a cool face¡¡Hmm? Master?
¡ºNu!? Th-This is¡ as for that¡¡»
And beside me, while I was fascinated by the people in the dojo, Tre¡¯ainar was more focused on the equipment on the ground floor of the dojo.
What was it? I¡¯ve never seen that before.
Somehow, rings were attached to the left and right of a long stick, and it was lifted up while clenching teeth with a very serious face. Was it heavy?
There are such simr tools everywhere, and some people are flying around with ropes.
What¡¯s more, there are huge mirrors all over the walls¡ Hey, it¡¯s even bigger than the mirror I saw in the princess¡¯s room when I was a kid?
¡º¡¡ Magical Bench Press¡ Magical Jumping Rope¡ Oh, Magical Squats¡ Magical Pull Ups¡ moreover the mirror¡ Hoh~¡» [1]
For some reason¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes were sparkling¡ somehow, he¡¯s squirming¡.
¡°Hmm? Hey, wait a minute, what¡¯s that?¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, oh ¡ that is ¡¡±
A person was sitting on a device with wheels on the front and back, moving his legs to turn the wheels. However, the wheels do not go forward because they are fixed to the floor.
What is the point of the thing?
¡°Hmm, is it thy first time seeing this? That¡ is called a Magical Bike.¡±
¡°B, Bike?¡±
¡°Simply put, thy legs can be trained by exercising for a long time.¡±
¡°Is, is that how it works?¡±
Well, seriously? Those names sound like something Tre¡¯ainar would have given¡.
¡°The ground floor is a Magical Training Room, it is open to the public for free. There are also rooms that train Visual acuity and a swimming pool in the backyard. It would benefit thee toe at any time and train with as many instruments as thou would like. Ask them how to use it. They¡¯ll show thee how in a refreshing manner.¡±
I had to admit, I¡¯m quite interested in it.
All of them are equipment that I¡¯ve never seen before.
And, everyone training their body by using them all have moderately good girth.
¡°He~¡ su.¡±
I still don¡¯t know why I¡¯m in this situation.
But I¡¯m starting to enjoy it a little more.
Until just a while ago, I was worried about my mother and Sadiz¡
¡º¡¡ My Goodness¡¡ tis inadequate.¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that time, however, Tre¡¯ainar, who was very lively, stood with his arms folded and a scowl.
¡ºTis certainly training in its own way¡ However, I have never used such equipment! The people here do not know how to really train efficiently! Goodness, to bench press, properly bend the elbows and ce it on the chest. Nu, over there, that should be raised with momentum to lower recoil¡. the hips float too much, as well! Those squats are not in a proper posture, either¡. In such case, he will simply tire out and hurt his back!¡»
No, he had a scowl, but it¡¯s a scowl that¡¯s made when you¡¯re getting all excited¡. [2]
¡ºIf one originallycking muscle strength exercises, muscle strength will be gained at first. But! To train to a certain level and beyond, naturally the right training regimen is needed! In this case, all that can be trained is your guts! Do not adopt this¡ she is called Master, but ¡®that one¡¯ does not understand. After all, they are simply imitating my form and spreading it as knowledge¡ Even though such an environment exists with great care, the treasure is rotten¡ Fufufufu, as such, I will have to drill the child with the proper training from scratch¡ And three months until the tournament¡. tis just right. It still requires three months for the results of strength training and other effects to emerge¡. Fufufufu, I am itching to begin!¡»
Apparently, although I approve of this environment, Tre¡¯ainar seemed dissatisfied with the way they actually trained here, and that¡¯s why I am very grateful and motivated to train with this fellow in the right way.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go! That¡¯s it, spread your legs wide, and one, two, go!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±One, two, one, two!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, the voice of a cheerful woman and a lot of women were heard rhythmically from a different room.
Eh? What? What are you going to do with your legs spread out? Eh? I should probably check things out in there¡ Well, when I thought about that kind of thing, I¡¯m amazed again by Tre¡¯ainar¡.
¡°In that room, they¡¯re doing Magical Aerobics to get in some exercise, rather than training. The sisters under my tutge lead the sessions, and it is very popr with housewives and young women.¡±
¡ºWhat? You even perform Magical Aerobics?!¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar, who¡¯s in high spirits, doesn¡¯t care what¡¯s on my mind right now.
Somehow, there seem to be a lot going on¡ and then there¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar and the High Priestess, who seemed to know each other¡ she¡¯s dressed as a human being, but after all this woman is ¡.
¡°Now, upstairs. The second floor is¡ a ce to teach His Work¡¡±
¡°Oh, ooh¡¡±
I was expecting that, but once again I was fascinated by the space I saw for the first time on another floor.
¡°Kia! Hit it Kia!¡±
¡°Uoh!¡±
¡°Hit! Hit! Keep hitting the Magical Sandbag 100 rounds!¡±
¡°Oh, u, uoh!¡±
¡°Hit a low kick, even if it breaks your leg!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
It was full of enthusiasm that was different from the first floor.
Unlike the refreshing air of the first floor, each person practices punching and kicking, and hits and kicks bags hung from the ceiling.
¡°This is where we teach the Arcane True Zenith Style¡ Punching, kicking, throwing, grappling, and various physical techniques are taught to each student trying to learn¡ the ones teaching here are the disciples I personally trained during the past civil war.¡±
¡°¡ Hmm? Your disciples?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Once, I had received teachings of God, and I descended here with the Goddess and taught the Arcane True Zenith Style to those selected of the Revolutionary Army. Some fled due to its excessive harshness¡¡±
Not only a High Priestess, but she also took apprentices and trained them herself¡. somehow¡ she really is¡
¡º¡ The form always needs improvement¡ Surely, it looks like it¡¯s done in its own way, but itcks the power to resonate with the opponent¡¯s core¡ Hmm, well, my hands are full with just the child, so I need not deal with them! ¡¡ Hmm? Hoh~, some of them are drinking raw eggs in a cup¡ Fuhahahahaha.¡»
Then, after taking another nce at this space, Tre¡¯ainar made a smug face, saying, ¡°I could train more disciples if I wanted¡±.
Or, I noticed by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, but a guy taking a break had a raw egg¡ Oh, hey. What are you thinking, drinking raw eggs directly? [3]
¡ºAs usual¡ that one¡ is still naive¡. yet to release the tiger¡¯s eye¡. still a long way to call it a tiger den.¡»
In what way¡. Tre¡¯ainar, I was confused when I saw the statue a while ago, but now there¡¯s something else¡. what¡¯s a tiger¡¯s eye or a tiger den?
¡°Incidentally, the third floor is the Magical Sparring Ground, where thou can engage in a mock battle. Thou could try thy skills with other disciples, sometimes with thy teachers¡¡. Fufufu, how about it?¡±
Then she told me about the facilities and asked, ¡°What do you think?¡± The High Priestess asked for my impressions.
To be honest, it was a dojopletely different from what I had imagined. In a good way.
And, although the size is smaller than the training ground at the academy, there are a lot of unknown equipment, so it seemed somewhat interesting.
Apart from the tournament, it might be interesting to train here¡
¡°Yes¡ train here¡surpass ¡®Machio¡¯¡¡ win the tournament¡ as the one who inherited the power of the Great Demon King¡ thou would be a worthypanion for ¡®Lady Kron¡¯¡¡ fuh~, as for me, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s Machio, but although she is human, to have ¡®Tsukshi¡¯s¡¯ maiden love end with a broken heart¡ it would pain me little.¡± [4]
Hmm? Somehow, the High Priestess was mumbling something, but ¡ I couldn¡¯t hear it well¡
¡ºMagical Sandbag¡ hmm, yes¡ the child who had only trained in shadow and phantom sparring could further improve the quality of the punches here¡ now, what sort of schedule shall I craft? Hmm, what to do? What shall we do?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also didn¡¯t seem have heard it at all.
Now that you¡¯re here, you¡¯re so cute.
Somehow, I¡¯m so excited, will I train here for a while?
Author¡¯s Note
Recently, I searched for a hair removal salon just in case¡. well, I¡¯m not going.
[S1] Okay, do they just put ¡®Magical¡¯ in front of everything. It¡¯s like old sci-fi stuff putting ¡®Space¡¯ in front just because, well¡..space!!!
[S2] Yeah, Tre¡¯ainar is in his element.
[S3] Probably a reference to [that one scene] from the Rock movies
[S4] Holupaminit, is all this an intricate, overplicated hookup scheme?

¡°Gahahahahahahahahaha, Master, you¡¯ve brought along a very cute brat today!¡±
As I was impressed when I saw the inside of the dojo, a big man appeared.
He wore shorts and a shirt that extended to his shoulders. He had a shiny bald head, and only grew a mustache, such an overbearing man.
He¡¯s a pretty muscr guy.... [1]
¡°Hmm. Instructor ¡®Cadegha¡¯...... How fare thy students?¡±
¡°Oh, there¡¯s still a long way to go. They¡¯re all motivated to win the tournament in three months... huh, well, I am too, you know.¡±
¡°Dear me... how deplorable.¡±
¡°But! Even if we can¡¯t win the championship, we won¡¯t lose to the soldiers of the old regime or the Magic School youngsters who know nothing of the civil war!¡±
¡°I see...even if they couldn¡¯t beat ¡®Machio¡¯, both the masters and the students would benefit from such motivation... I¡¯m d I opened the door to the tournament after all...¡±
Muscr. Huge. He may have a decent amount of power and vigor, but he¡¯s somewhere between the lower and middle-ss Imperial warriors.
Because the High Priestess was too extraordinary, I was concerned about the level of the other teachers, but apparently the High Priestess was the only one in a different dimension.
No.....it looks like... there¡¯s one other person...
¡°And, what of Machio?¡±
¡°Machio is out on Magical RoadWork... well, if I don¡¯t have anything to teach him anymore, I don¡¯t have anyone he can spar with...¡±
¡°Is that so... as expected, Machio will im victory at this rate.... well, as it is now, however...¡±
¡°And that¡¯s...... who¡¯s the youngster? A student from the Wizarding School? Doesn¡¯t seem to be an orphan from the slums ...¡±
¡°Ah! He¡¯s an initiate.¡±
¡°Nu-wai-wha!?¡±
No, no, no, I haven¡¯t decided to join yet!
Well, Tre¡¯ainar looked happy, so I think it¡¯s okay to join, but...
¡ºJust join, Child.¡»
¡¸Eh, uh, Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºOf course, you need not ask them to teach you, but... this facility may be utilized...¡»
¡¸Are you sure about this? In general, doing as I¡¯m told seems irksome. I¡¯m going to be sent to some weird tournament.¡¹
¡ºEven so, tis fine. What matters is that by taking advantage of this environment now, your strength could increase dramatically.¡»
¡¸R, really?¡¹
¡ºIndeed! If you receive my proper training... fufufufu, I can barely wait to begin.¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar ispletely up for it.
Maybe he¡¯s already forgotten about the High Priestess¡¯ plot, or why there was a statue of Tre¡¯ainar, and so on.
¡°Wait, Master! Recently, there are a lot of pansies who start out at first then run away after a few days, so we can¡¯t deal with someone who doesn¡¯t have the guts for it.¡±
And before I replied, the bald man objected to the High Priestess.
¡°Even my decision?¡±
¡°I mean, when Bro brought his friends a few years ago, they immediately ran away, didn¡¯t they? All the same, I must do some tests!¡±
¡°Test? ...... Well, I don¡¯t mind.¡±
Apparently, regardless of my intentions, I need to take a test to be initiated into this dojo.
Well, I haven¡¯t answered yet, but Tre¡¯ainar said that too, and.... well, I should probably stand up for my master here?
¡°Wow. I¡¯m going to use the facilities here. And? What test do I have to take?¡±
¡°Hoh~, pretty confident guy. However, recently, there are a lot of wimps who talk big then run away immediately....e on.¡±
¡°...... Hmm? Isn¡¯t it sparring?¡±
¡°Ghahahaha! Hey, I¡¯m not going to bully a newbie like that.¡±
With that said, the bald man went down stairs to the first floor.
I don¡¯t mind if it¡¯s a spar. I think I can beat this bald man....
¡°Well, even if the High Priestess brought him here, we don¡¯t even know how strong big brother is... whether he¡¯ll be sister¡¯s Savior... I¡¯m looking forward to finding out...¡±
¡°Un.¡±
Karui and Amae look excited about my test.
And the High Priestess was all smiles as well.
¡°That¡¯s right... it will inspire the other students, and perhaps it¡¯s best to know of thed¡¯s power...¡±
Oh, she¡¯s got a wicked expression on her face. I knew it, that High Priestess is pretty suspicious!
Later, I¡¯ll have to ask Tre¡¯ainar about this woman....
¡°Okay, this is it. The introductory test is... Magical Bench Press.¡±
¡°...... Bench Press?¡±
And what the bald man showed me as a test on the first floor, he called a bench press.
It¡¯s like a narrow chair for lying down, and a long bar on top with a ring at both ends.
¡°This is a training device specific to the dojo, for strengthening the arms...¡±
¡ºTis nothing so vague as merely arms. Upper body...... Pectoralis major, triceps, deltoid, and so on. The main muscle focused on is the pectoralis major, and you can gain a robust chest.¡»
Saying that, the bald man went under the bench press first intending to give a demonstration.
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar beside me added more to the bald man¡¯s exnation as a ¡®supplement¡¯.
¡°This way, I lie on my back on the table, so that my face and armse right under the weight of the ¡®Barbell¡¯.¡±
¡ºLying on the bench, take hold the bar. At that time, hold the bar with a slightly wider width than the shoulders.¡»
¡°And, lift it up like this... Fununununununununu, Ndoryaah!! This way, lift the barbell and then lower it! Then ce it on your chest once and then lift it again! In that case, the magic on this barbell...... is a mechanism that increases the weight ording to the force put in to lift... that is, the power of the person... By the way, I¡¯m at ¡®120 Power¡¯! Do this every day, and naturally your strength will increase!¡±
A magical light was generated on the barbell, and ancient figures emerged. Is that ancient magic, too?
ording to the ancient figure, the number ¡°120¡± is disyed.
But......
¡ºWhat... I never, do they take simple ¡®Max measurement¡¯ as training... they do not understand, this fellow.... Bench press training should be raised and lowered multiple times...... at least 10 repetitions... Besides, this one, ¡®Cheats¡¯... he lowers the barbell and lifts with the recoil from hitting on the chest.... unless you properly kill the momentum on your chest and then lift, tis meaningless.¡»
While exining it with a smug face, Tre¡¯ainar exposed the bald man giving the demonstration.
However, the ¡®120 power¡¯ seemed to be considerable, and the people training in the dojo raised impressed voices.
¡°Huh, as expected, Instructor Cadegha...¡±
¡°I¡¯m no match for Machio, but the power is top ss of the Arcane True Zenith Style!¡±
¡°Haha, that¡¯s amazing. Well, it¡¯s big brother¡¯s turn next.¡±
¡°Go for it¡±
If anything, there¡¯s even a round of apuse. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s such a great figure or not.
¡°By the way, the average figure for men is ¡¯40 power¡¯. In other words, my power is three times that of a normal person.¡±
Saying that, the bald man smiles with his teeth shining.
So, I guess I¡¯m next...
¡ºIn any case, for the child¡¯s training, I will learn your Max figure as a reference... show me, child... you originally had a firm foundation, trained diligently, and repeated use of the breakthrough continued to put load on your muscles, so naturally your abilities have improved.¡»
The people around me looked on with interest, and Tre¡¯ainar watched over me with enthusiasm.
So for the time being, I¡¯ll learn by imitation, and then try it with the ¡°proper form¡± as Tre¡¯ainar instructed.
Lie on your back, take hold of the stick, and lift it....
¡°Oh, nu, oh, heavy!?¡±
¡ºObviously, tis Max setting. I shall adjust itter, but... for now, do not use the Breakthrough, just lift it with a full power burst.¡»
¡°Nugu, Gu, Nuoh, Oh, Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh!!!¡±
Does the weight change depending on my power? No, wait a minute... wouldn¡¯t this be a great weapon if you figured out how to use it ...? I clenched my teeth and used all my arm strength and even my broad back muscles, which I¡¯m aware of when I punch, to lift the barbell.
¡°Uooooh, how¡¯s thaaaaaaat?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±.... Wha ... Eh!!?? Hya......... 170!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
170? Is that my figure? For the time being, it surpassed the bald man, and the people around him are surprised at the figure.
¡°Hoho, this is unexpected!¡±
¡°Hey, that¡¯s amazing!¡±
¡°Oh, I couldn¡¯t lift this much at that young age!¡±
¡°Even though his physique is normal, it¡¯s a big deal!¡±
¡°Hey, seriously? No, even though it¡¯s no match for Machio, it¡¯s good enough!¡±
¡°... Oh ...¡±
¡ºI see... in other words, using the breakthrough... it could reach 200.... well, at this point, tis a passing mark, child.¡»
Well, let¡¯s just call it a pass for now.
¡°Puha... huh, is this okay?¡±
¡°Oh! That¡¯s great, isn¡¯t it, youngster? I don¡¯t know where you trained, but you are one hell of a gem!¡±
The bald man happily pped me on the back.
Anyway, this bench press...... it¡¯s true that it easily quantified my current level, so it¡¯ll show if I¡¯ve improvedter on.
¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t even realize it until now, but I¡¯m pretty strong...¡±
I had more strength than a guy who is bigger than me. The fact felt a little pleasant.
¡ºTis adequate. However, child, you gave a pretty good figure, but do not get swayed by it, alright? In the first ce, bench press is simply a reference value, it does not equate tobat power. If the muscle mass is inted unnecessarily, it could copse the punching form and even be an obstacle. The ¡®Supple muscle¡¯ which is your character will be hard and your advantage will be lost.¡»
¡¸Eh, is that so?¡¹
¡ºTis so. Therefore, the ideal is to train everything in a well-bnced and even manner. Even a punch is not solely dependent on the strength of the arm, but also strong legs and waist. Perhaps the people in this dojo simply do not understand.¡»
¡¸Heh... it¡¯s really a lot of work... getting stronger ...¡¹
¡ºSuch is the way of things. However, child. Tis a great opportunity. Let us use other instruments, squats and running power may also be measured. Tis no good to be focused on numbers alone, but tis still very useful to visualize your physical abilities numerically. That way, you know what physical abilities arecking, and on the other hand, where your strengths lie.¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar gave me instructions as soon as I passed the test.
Well, I was also interested in it, so I nodded and decided to give it a try.
But....
¡°See here, as the one Master brought along, he¡¯s pretty impressive.¡±
¡°Oh. He¡¯s no match for Machio, but he¡¯s talented...¡±
Whileplimenting me, people around me seemed to imply that I¡¯m below a certain person...
His name has beening up for a while, but is this guy that amazing?
Well, as Tre¡¯ainar said, if you don¡¯t think this bench press alone will determine your fighting power, it¡¯s nothing to worry about...
¡°Hmm?¡±
Then I saw a piece of paper on the wall beside the bench press.
The paper said ¡®Bench Press All-Time Ranking¡¯ on it, and at the top of it is...
¡°...... 1st ce...... Machio Proteen......? ...... 500 Power? ......?¡±
It was my first bench press and I found out that I was stronger than most other people, I was feeling good about myself. But that numerical value, felt like it was warning me ¡®Don¡¯t get cocky¡¯.
Author¡¯s Note
Because the unit of this story and the unit of reality are not the same, ¡°170 power¡± is not ¡°bench press 170kg¡±. Therefore, please excuse the retort that ¡°the depiction of this power is strange at this level of bench press¡±.

Chapter 95 ¨C On Top of the Top
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Nuoh, oh, noh, oooooh!¡±
An insane load on the waist... carrying a barbell and then lowering and lifting ... Squats?
¡ºBe sure to tighten the waist as well as the legs. Yes, they assume that Magical Squats are only for training the lower body, but in reality they stimte not only the lower body, but also the hips, back, abdominal muscles, and even the arms. Most crucial, it trains your core as well. In other words, it strengthens the muscles of the entire body. Also, the lower body is not so vague, but the exact parts are the thigh muscles.... hamstrings, quadriceps, calf triceps, gluteus maximus, and so on.¡»
¡°Gu, m, moreover, this barbell on my neck, h-hurts...¡±
¡°Get used to it, youngster! Guts!¡±
¡ºTis a simply form. Keep your chest up and ce the barbell your shoulders.... on the top of the trapezius muscles, not your neck. Adjust the grip width and elbow angle a little more as well.¡»
While listening to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, I¡¯ll try to do as much as I can.
Whole body workout...... is indeed true. The stimtion of the lower body was quite tough, but normally stimting the muscles of the whole body is also quite tough.
¡°Oh, Magical Squat, 230 Power! No, that¡¯s a big one! Are you really a beginner?¡±
¡°Impressive... Magical DeadLift is also 210 power... No, he¡¯s a frighteningd.¡±
These also seemed to have been good figures in their own right.
Certainly, these figures are enough to ce into the all-time rankings on the wall.
But......
¡°Hah, hah ... hey ... this one in first ce... they¡¯re all the same guy, but... what kind of monster is that? They all more than double mine...¡±
I think I¡¯m getting a little stronger, but I¡¯m not really proud of my strength.
As Tre¡¯ainar said, these figures are just for reference.
Still, it¡¯s impossible not to be concerned with someone who was hitting numbers that are iparable to mine.
¡°Ah, Machio is a bit of a... substandard monster.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Cacretale¡¯s Most Powerful Warrior.¡±
¡°With the exception of the Master, he is the strongest man in the Arcane True Zenith School.¡±
The strongest of Arcane True Zenith Style...... Well, I guess that¡¯s the way it is when hammering out such ridiculous figures.
¡°Strongest...... though...... in this country...¡±
Cacretale is an independent state that did not participate in the past war with the Demon King army.
A guy like that was in such a country without making a name for himself? If you think about it...
¡ºThe strong yet unknown to the world... Aka as well.... Bro is also of that group.... so they exist.... that is to say, outstanding hidden talents?¡»
Certainly, there were quite a few strong guys that the world did not know about.
Tre¡¯ainar was also muttering while looking at the ranking table on the wall with his arms folded.
It seemed that, I¡¯ve been in such a narrow world until now...
¡°Well... anyway, do you want to measure your speed? However, since speed is measured outside, how about you measure your ¡®eyes¡¯ first?¡±
As I was a little depressed, old man Cadegha made the next suggestion to me.
We measured my strength, so he said that the next measurement would be for the eyes.
The eye? Is it like a medical checkup, some kind of vision test?
¡°Come on, this way.¡±
¡°Come on, big brother, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Keep it up, next.¡±
With that said, Cadegha invited me to the back room on the first floor, as Karui and Amae pushed my back.
If I already came this far, I might as well follow him.
Then we were led to a room.
There were rows of round projections embedded in the walls of the room.
¡°What in the world is this?¡±
¡ºWhat!? You can even do Magical Vision training?¡»
¡°This is Magical Vision training.¡±
Training with exactly the same name as what came out of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth as he eximed with excitement.
Now, at this point, the details don¡¯t matter.
¡°As soon as the training starts, these buttons will sh randomly with magic. When you press it, another spot shes.... you do this as fast as possible to see how many times can be done in 15 seconds.¡±
¡ºIt maximizes the field of view and trains peripheral vision, kic vision, eye movement, instantaneous vision, deep vision, as well as reflexes and concentration.¡»
It¡¯s a little different from Magical Speed Reading.... the buttons embedded in the wall sh one after another, and you have to press them quickly. Certainly, reflexes and concentration are also required.
¡°I see. Amusing.¡±
I had a bit of hope that I could get a good figure myself.
My eyes should have been considerably trained by Tre¡¯ainar and the actual battles so far.
In addition, my punching speed should allow me to press the button faster than the others.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re full of confidence... well then, Ready ... Start!¡±
¡°Sha!¡±
Release all the nerves and put everything into the next few seconds. Make sure the button shes and then hit the button without pause.
¡°Uoh, ooooh!¡±
¡°Hands, so fast!?¡±
¡°Oh...¡±
Make full use of both hands and both eyes and hit with my full power....
¡°That¡¯s time!¡±
¡°How is it?¡±
I didn¡¯t count myself in the middle of it. The movements of my hands were much faster than I could count in my head.
And.....
¡°Si... Sixty times!?¡±
¡°Oh, no way!¡±
¡°See here, it¡¯s undisputed! Amazing!¡±
Sixty times. What level is that?
¡°Ah! I¡¯m pretty confident in this! Let¡¯s see, that was ... that was ...!¡±
I nced around the room looking for you-know-what.
It¡¯s the rankings.
¡°The first ce in the ranking is... 51 times.... Dinay Zut.... Who¡¯s this!? Where¡¯s that Machio guy?!¡±
I hadn¡¯t noted any of the other names in the previous power rankings, so I didn¡¯t know anyone else.
And the name of the guy called Machio wasn¡¯t there.
¡°Ah, Machio is no good at such small details... Simply, his power is so great that if he hit a button, the wall would break and we couldn¡¯t measure it...¡±
¡°tte, he what now!?¡±
For the time being, I¡¯m ranked number one in the current record. However, it seems that there are other circumstances involved as well.
I mean, I¡¯m honestly not happy about it.
¡°No, but this is amazing!¡±
¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t think Machio can get much of a record with this kind of thing, can he? A maiden¡¯s mind is blunt.¡±
Well, even if the measurement could be done, it seemed that Machio and others are not good at this kind of thing.
Then, this is my win, so I guess I¡¯ll take first ce in the all-time...
¡°Step aside.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Oh, Master!?¡±
¡°High Priestess!¡±
At that time, the High Priestess entrusted the scepter to Karui and prepared. And.....
¡°Begin.¡±
She seemed motivated. What¡¯s going on all of a sudden? At the same time as I thought, I realized something.
¡°...... What? Those eyes...¡±
¡º...... Hmm...... to use those... tis foul y.¡»
The High Priestess suddenly revealed the crest that I had never seen before.
For a moment, I thought it was a mistake, but they clearly emerged.
And.....
¡°...!? What!?¡±
The next moment, something incredible happened.
The High Priestess did not move her neck or eyeball at all, moving only her hands and hitting the buttons from her initial position.
Moreover, the moment the button lit up and the moment it was pressed are almost the same.
I confirmed that the button shed before pressing it, while the High Priestess hit it as if she knew which button would sh next.
As a result......
¡°62 times... well, it¡¯s what I think ...¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
My record...
¡°Hold on, Master, you can finish it anyway...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, High Priestess!¡±
The High Priestess pulled out even though there were ¡®five seconds left¡¯.
¡°As a teacher, it doesn¡¯t matter how vast a figure I give. There is a limit to how much I can unt the difference in strength to my students and motivate them.¡±
The High Priestess told us that with a nonchnt air.
It was such a shock that she shattered what I thought was ¡®my win¡¯.
¡°Well, but apart from the Master, your record is awesome!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Your power and eyes are among the all-time highest!¡±
I was praised that way, but ... honestly, I wasn¡¯t happy.
And at the same time, I¡¯m reminded of the person I was just a few days ago.
I was not able to defeat my childhood friend, I never got to the top of my ss, and I was just a talented person.
¡°~~~, t, next! What should I do next?¡±
There¡¯s no way I¡¯m gonna lose!
At that moment, I was crying out to let me do the next event as soon as possible.
¡°Haha, he¡¯s a stoic one.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not satisfied with this at all... no way, so freaking amazing.¡±
¡°Then, next is speed!¡±
I¡¯ll do anything. And even one is fine. I want to find something where I¡¯m second to none.
I¡¯ve been saying, sooner orter, I was going to be a big shot in the world with enthusiasm. but if I can¡¯t even win a single record in a dojo in a country, in general, it¡¯ll be nothing more than big talk.
¡°Speed, oh, that¡¯s good! Let¡¯s do it!¡±
I am confident in my speed. Thanks to having learned many steps, I am able to perform ¡°sharp eleration¡±.
¡°Then, the speed measurement is outdoors, let¡¯s move outside.¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
Next time, for sure.... that¡¯s what I thought, but...
¡°By the way, Karui. Is it wise to be so carefree?¡±
¡°Yes? What¡¯s going on? High Priestess¡±
¡°Should thou not be in school by now?¡±
¡°Huh? ......¡±
The moment we went outside, the High Priestess suddenly asked Karui, in a ¡°forced¡± manner.
Then Karui was a little dumbfounded, but soon her face turned blue....
¡°...... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I, I forgot©`©`©`!!?? S, sote!!¡±
Karui, who had been flippant until a while ago panicked, and was in a great hurry to get going...
¡°Ah, I¡¯m going, I am going!!¡±
Immediately, she began running fast through the town.... began...... running...... eh?
¡°Fufu, that Karui, in such a rush ... to leave without changing into uniform...¡±
The High Priestessughed dismissively, but... hey, wait a minute.
¡ºHuh~... that little girl... has good legs.¡»
¡°Wh-what the hell, is that girl!? F, Flying...¡±
Karui ran in a full dress. Her light feet jumped through the city, and the moment she saw the crowd, she jumped and climbed up to the roofs of the buildings and ran through while maintaining high speed.
The run, which does not feel the effects of gravity, disappeared from sight.
I¡¯ve done Magical Parkour, I know what I¡¯m talking about.
That¡¯s not normal.
That gait, is much better than the usual ninja warriors... it¡¯s better than me...
¡°Oh, by the way... that girl, Karui... though still a littless... she¡¯s the fastest in Cacretale...she was nicknamed ¡®Weightless Sprinter Karui¡¯...... now, the speed test...¡±
¡°...Nah... for now... I¡¯m good...¡±
¡°Fufu, that¡¯s fine. Well, either way, thou has passed. Use this ce to train thyself as thou wish.¡±
To be clear, it¡¯s an overwhelming gait that I can see just by looking that it¡¯s much faster than I run.
Maybe even faster than me using the Breakthrough...
It made me think that this is exactly what the unstoppable legs are.
After being shown something like that, I didn¡¯t have the spirit to attempt the test while she snorted, ¡°take first ce¡±.
¡°Well,d. I¡¯m so sorry, but... Karui went ahead without a uniform and no textbook. Could thou bring them to the school?¡±
¡°...... Huh? Why me?¡±
¡°On the way, thou can take a tour of the city, right? Amae, show him around.¡±
¡°No, even if you say that ...¡±
I haven¡¯t gotten over the shock yet, but the High Priestess suddenly asked me to be her errand boy.
I¡¯m told that I¡¯ll also be given a tour of the city, but I don¡¯t feel like it.
On the contrary...
¡°Are you sure?¡±
¡°Of what?¡±
¡°I might immediately run away, right? Break through the barrier and stuff.¡±
You can¡¯t just give me free reign like that, right? I tried to ask.
Then, as if the High Priestess had seen through everything....
¡°Fufufufufu, could you do it though? Nay, in the first ce... if thou could escape as it is, why not do as thou would like?¡±
If you can break the barrier, then break it.
Before that, if you don¡¯t mind running away with this test result, then run away.
It sounded like she was saying that, and of course I had no choice but to ept that I couldn¡¯t just turn my tail and run away.
¡°Damn it!!¡±
It¡¯s pathetic. And I¡¯m ashamed of myself. I thought I was much stronger than before...
¡°Hn. Piggyback¡±
¡°Gu, ku... ah~, jeez!¡±
¡°Okey... dokey~¡±
Amae demands a piggyback ride from me, holding Karui¡¯s uniform and what seems to be a bag in both hands.
Despite my frustration, I carried Amae on my back, and now I have no choice but to do as I was told.
Watching over me even now, as I harbor these thoughts in my heart.
So..... once again...... I entrust myself in your care.... Master!
¡ºNaturally.¡»
At the thoughts I muttered in my heart, my reliable Master nodded.

Chapter 96 ¨C Goals to Aim for
Tranted by: Sads07
Compared to the Imperial Capital, the scale of the city-scape was still iparable, but even though it was a secluded nation with no interaction with other countries, Cacretale was sufficiently developed.
The area that seemed to be the center of the city is like a market, with many stalls like Cantidan, and it had been prosperous since morning.
¡°What ¡ it¡¯s so peaceful ¡ was there a civil war?¡±
¡°¡¡ Un.¡±
No one seemed to be facing much hardship in their lives, and the peaceful citizens wereughing and lively.
¡°Oh! Good morning, Amae! Who is that? Amae¡¯s boyfriend?¡±
¡°Brother, if you make Amae cry, I¡¯ll never forgive you!¡±
¡°Look, my proud apples! Have some!¡±
At first I tried to run and chase after Karui, but I wasn¡¯t likely to catch up and I couldn¡¯t run through the crowds in the market, so I slowed down a little bit, being careful of my surroundings. I seemed to stand out with Amae on my back, and various people called out to me.
¡°Oh, th, thank you ¡¡±
In addition, as an offering, two apples were thrown at me by a strange old man, and I caught them, gave one to Amae, and ran while I bit into the other.
¡°You¡¯re popr, too.¡±
¡°Un.
¡°I heard it was a secluded country, so at first I thought there would be a lot of gloomy people out there, but that¡¯s not the case.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°¡¡ is itpletely peaceful now?¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°Well, you don¡¯t know what I¡¯m talking about¡¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°Hey, are there any other amazing people besides the High Priestess, Karui, and Machio?¡±
¡°Uunn~¡¡±
She doesn¡¯t seem to have the same sense of dislike that she did when we first met, but this Amae kid was so emotionless that we can¡¯t hold a conversation.
Besides, maybe because she¡¯s still a young child, I don¡¯t think she really understands her own country or the strength of the people around her.
Well, that¡¯s right¡
¡°Goddess¡±
¡°¡¡ ha?¡±
¡°The Goddess¡ amazing.¡±
¡°¡¡ A Goddess?¡±
At that time, Amae suddenly whispered in my ear. Goddess?
¡°A Goddess¡ the most mysterious thing after the High Priestess¡. is that actually real?¡±
¡°Un.¡±
That person? But¡¡ that High Priestess¡ called Tre¡¯ainar a God ¡. but she doesn¡¯t look like a demon,,. she doesn¡¯t look human either¡ well, I didn¡¯t hear anything about that.
In the first ce, who is that High Priestess?
And what are you up to?
¡ºSurely, what are you nning¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡ besides, I am a tad concerned about the Goddess, but¡ certainly not¡did she¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded in agreement to my concerns.
Rather, I¡¯ve been wanting to hear your opinion, but you were so excited about the training equipment, so I didn¡¯t¡ Huh?
¡°¡¡ Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°Un?¡±
Didn¡¯t Tre¡¯ainar just say something outrageous?
Somehow, it¡¯s a name I¡¯ve often seen in textbooks and newspapers¡. wow, such a coincidence¡
¡ºUhun, that High Priestess¡¯ real name is¡ Jamdi¡¯el. One of the Six Supremacy and Great Demon Generals, pride of the Demon King¡¯s Army, who once went on a rampage in the world under the moniker of the ¡®Dark Valkyrie¡¯.¡»
No, no, no, no, no, no¡ it¡¯s some mistake¡ isn¡¯t it?
Because the former boss himself said so¡ ah, that¡¯s right¡ they say the Allied Forces were still looking for her¡ Oh, I see! That¡¯s why, the statue of Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡°¡then, you couldn¡¯t tell me sooneeeeeeeeeeeeeerr!!!!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
I suddenly shouted loudly, and both the townspeople and Amae gave me a surprised look.
But it¡¯s impossible for me not to make a fuss.
¡¸Eh, really? You¡¯re not messing with me. right?¡¹
¡ºHmm, tis true.¡»
¡¸Ah, hey, then that¡¯s not good for me! Because I¡¯m the son of a hero¡¡¹
¡ºIndeed. However¡¡ she is most likely aware¡ and it appears to me she acknowledges and epts it.¡»
¡¸Huh? Why though? Maybe, I¡¯m being held hostage¡¡¹
¡ºNo, that will not be the case¡ just¡¡ surely, she is trying to make you stronger and use you for some purpose.¡»
¡¸That¡¯s why I¡¯m so scared! What is with you? I don¡¯t get why you¡¯re so calm! The other party is one of the Demon King¡¯s Six Supremacy!?¡¹
¡ºWrong¡ also, I am the Great Demon King ¡¡»
¡¸Ah, aah ¡ I see, hahaha. Yeah you got me there.¡¹
¡ºTis so Tis so, fuhahahahahaha!!¡»
¡¸Hahahahaha¡ right, s- hey!!¡¹
One of the legendary Six Supremacy. Hiding out in a secluded nation! Moreover, refers to herself as the High Priestess.
¡ºHowever, I am not so at ease. Because she was a former vassal, apanion, and one of my six arms¡. I am deeply moved¡¡»
¡¸Really? Though halfway, you were so excited after seeing the Bench Press and stuff.¡¹
¡ºNuh, I, I was not so buoyant!¡»
¡¸No, you were!¡¹
He had a lot of nostalgia and feelings about his oldrade-in-arms¡ I don¡¯t know, but no matter who sees Tre¡¯ainar as he is now¡
¡ºI-In any case, tis not that I do not think about such matters¡ Simply¡¡ I just believe there is no helping the way things are.¡»
¡¸Why is that? She¡¯s a former subordinate of yours, right?¡¹
¡ºCertainly. And while Jamdi¡¯el was undoubtedly a superbmander¡ on the other hand¡ except for warfare, there were times when her thought process was beyondprehension even by my omniscience. In other words, tis a loss to take it seriously.¡»
¡¸Wh, at?¡¹
A former subordinate, or a close associate in his inner circle. And yet, he could not understand her thinking, or something like that?
¡ºWell, all will be revealed soon enough¡ Indeed, ¡®that onecks propermunication skills¡¯ ¡is what was once said¡»
¡¸Hey, that¡¯s a pretty awful thing to say about your ex-subordinate¡¡¹
¡ºBut even so¡ or rather, she will do you no harm to in theing three months. Even if her thoughts are iprehensible, tis not meaningless. To go through the trouble to abduct you and the provide to for you over a three-month period, she will protect you.¡»
¡¸I, is that so?¡¹
¡ºUhun, so focus on your training for now, rather than thinking on it.¡»
¡¸Nu, w, well¡¡¹
Strong words from Tre¡¯ainar as I was confused and flustered.
Yes, in a way, can I even get the answers to my worries when Tre¡¯ainar can¡¯t figure out at this point? That¡¯s how it is.
In such a situation, isn¡¯t there more to be done than that? And, that¡¯s what came across.
¡¸Yeah. Well, I lost to a Supremacy in the eye test¡ which I think is unfair, but¡ I lost overwhelmingly to other guys in terms of power and speed.¡¹
¡ºTis so¡ but on the other hand¡¡»
Right. I don¡¯t know why one of the Six Supremacy was involved in this country and teaching many other things, but at least some of those she taught were overwhelmingly better than me in their respective fields.
If you have time to worry about the mess going on in your life, you should work on your growth first since you have trouble understanding things.
¡¸All right! Anyway, I¡¯m messing up my strength training¡. Someday, that Machio guy, I will surpass him!¡¹
¡ºAh. But tis impossible.¡»
¡¸¡¡ eh?¡¹
Such a calm retort suddenly crushed my thoughts as I pledged a new resolve.
¡ºMuscle training has limitations. There are various factors such as gics, skeletal and physical structure, race, and so on, but the limits of the person are determined from the onset.¡»
¡¸No, that ¡ uh ¡ that means¡¡¹
¡ºChild, you still have room to grow¡ but¡¡ no matter how much muscle training you do in the future, tis forever impossible to surpass Aka and this Machio in terms of ¡®raw power¡¯.¡»
¡¸Wha¡ wh¡. tsu!?¡¹
¡ºBy the way, your speed does not even approach the full-body spring-like run of that Karui¡ In other words, in terms of ¡®pure speed¡¯, tis impossible for you to surpass that Karui.¡»
¡¸Eehh!!??¡¹
¡ºFurthermore, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes are¡ among the three great magic eyes¡ called the Heraldic Eye¡ In addition to its various abilities, the basic eye performance is the highest among all living things in the world, regardless of the Surface World or the Demon Realm¡ with only normal eyes, you had no chance from the start.¡»
Hearing his speech, I¡¯m reminded of that moment.
The day I first became Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple.
Until then, when I was a magic swordsman and he asserted that I didn¡¯t have the talent for it, he was saying the same thing now.
I don¡¯t have the magic and power of my father. That¡¯s why it wasn¡¯t suitable for me.
¡¸Back then¡ youplimented me on my supple muscles and spring-like body¡¡¹
¡ºTis far superior than others. However, in the world, there exists an upper level in the field of one¡¯s strengths¡ so I heard¡. as I may have mentioned, a force that cannot be exceeded through effort¡ that is talent¡ same as magic capacity and magic emission¡ one born with a higher limit than others¡. we call that a genius.¡»
I after all, never thought that ¡®my current self¡¯ would be the strongest person in the world.
However, if I continued to receive Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Guidance, it would be the case for ¡®my someday self¡¯¡¡ there was the expectation I had.
However, there are still walls that cannot be ovee.
¡¸¡¡ Well then¡¡ how can I grow in the future¡ what should I work on¡¡¹
A world where effort can¡¯t help.
I never thought I¡¯d be told something so shocking while I was piggybacking a little girl.
¡°¡¡you, okay?¡±
On my back, Amae asked me with a curious expression. But now I couldn¡¯t respond at the moment.
Because if what Tre¡¯ainar said was true, what should I do from now on¡
¡ºHowever¡ from the previous battles and the ranking table, while you cannot beat Aka and Macho in power, at this point, you are already winning in terms of speed.¡»
¡¸Ha?¡¹
¡ºOn the other hand, the Karui girl is certainly first ss in speed, but when ites to power, you are far superior¡ even Jamdi¡¯el¡ in terms of pure power, cannot contend with you.¡»
¡¸That seems right, but¡¡¹
¡ºSo it was back in your home, was it not? That Second Sword Saint surpassed you in swordsmanship, but you overwhelmed him. You did not fight directly, but you would not lose to the son of that Great Mage in closebat either¡ do you know why that is?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar pushed me to the limit while asking me.
There are people who have more power, speed, swordsmanship, and magic than me, so I can¡¯t be at the top in those fields.
However, he also said that there are areas where I am better than they were.
What exactly does it mean? That is¡¡
¡ºEven if you cannot win in one field¡ with the overall score¡¡ in other words, with the sum of your strengths, you can win.¡»
¡¸O, overall¡¡¹
¡ºTis so. In the Imperial City, you may not have been able to defeat the princess in overall performance, but that was simply the matter of the school records. As you are now, your fighting power is more than enough to surpass that girl.¡»
¡¸Yes, maybe, but¡¡¹
¡ºTherefore, what you should do from now on¡ rather than intensively training one thing, train all fields in a well-bnced manner. This was clearly evident in the Max measurement. We did not measure the speed, but I can predict the approximate figures based on my life so far. As far as can be seen numerically, you have no weaknesses.¡»
Instead of making a field or specialty that no one else could match, train everything.
That was Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s guiding policy.
But that was a little too subtle to me.
¡¸In short, that¡ doesn¡¯t it speak badly of me¡. as a jack of all trade, master of none?¡¹
I have been told since my childhood. I¡¯m better than others to a point. But, to put it bluntly, I¡¯m a jack of all trade and master of none.
That¡¯s because to me it was a curse that I had been told since I was a kid.
However, for me, Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºWhy would that bode ill for you?¡»
¡¸Eh?¡¹
¡ºThere is no ill to speak of, if anything you may impudently say you are an all-rounder, could you not?¡»
An all-rounder, not a jack of all trade¡. it was the first time I¡¯ve ever heard someone say that.
¡ºYou are a little mistaken. A Jack of all Trades is by no means a demerit. ¡¡ you have no special talent. But¡¡ that does not mean you are inferior¡. that is to say, there is no w that seems to be a weak point. And there is no greater nuisance inbat than the absence of a weakness. Because,pared to the fellow with only one talent, there is no ¡®if you can just deal with it, you will be able to manage somehow¡¯ scenario, and there is no strategy.¡»
No weaknesses, no strategies. Come to think of it, I¡ had nothing I was second to none in¡ but on the other hand¡ there wasn¡¯t anything that I wasn¡¯t good at¡
¡ºIf a broad and shallow term like Jack of all Trades still concerns you, consider this. What you are aiming for is¡ to learn everything extensively and intimately¡. to have Dexterous Affluence!¡»
¡¸¡¡ ha¡ hahaha¡¡¹
¡ºAnd¡ I ¡ call those who show prominence in a single talent ¡®specialists¡¯, and those who excel in everything, ¡®generalists¡¯.¡»
From a serious looking Tre¡¯ainar, the words ¡°dexterous affluence¡± and ¡°generalist¡± came out for the first time.
It was funny¡ but¡¡ I didn¡¯t quite get it right away.
¡¸Dexterous affluence¡ Generalist¡ hey¡¡ All-rounders who can do everything¡ it¡¯s not easy to do¡ ¡¹
¡ºWhy?¡»
Because I can¡¯t imagine it¡. I don¡¯t have an example¡. that I could use as a goal¡
I was called an All-Rounder, yet I didn¡¯t have anyone in mind to use as a model or a goal.
The Princess? However, as Tre¡¯ainar said, I don¡¯t see myself losing to the princess in terms ofbat power.
Then Sadiz? Certainly, Sadiz may be the most versatile. But, unfortunately, I don¡¯t know Sadiz¡¯s true fighting capability.
So even if I set a goal, I don¡¯t know how good it would be.
And then¡¡
¡ºFuhahahahahahahahahaha!¡»
Tre¡¯ainarughed loudly at my words.
Did I say something so funny? When I think about it, Tre¡¯ainar is¡
¡ºChild. You are a tad heartless, are you not?¡»
¡¸Ha?¡¹
¡ºHave you forgotten? What you should aim for¡. the world¡¯s best all-rounder¡. who knows you well¡¡»
¡¸Eh!? Well, are you serious? What? Who are you talking about?¡¹
For a moment, I didn¡¯t really understand.
But Tre¡¯ainar smiled.
¡ºWho is it? Who else¡ but the one that is always with you.¡»
Ah ¡ that¡¯s right ¡ he was in front of me ¡.
¡°Hahahahahahahahaha! Do you want me to say it myself?¡±
Because I didn¡¯t even notice this sooner, I wasughing out loud.
That¡¯s right. I was getting guidance from the guy I should be aiming for.
¡°¡¡ Hey, again, you, okay?¡±
¡°What? Oh, oh¡¡±
¡°Scary¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry ¡¡±
Amae was a little frightened by my sudden burst ofughter.
Well, I hope you¡¯ll forgive me for this one.
And¡..
¡°But, we¡¯ve arrived.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Here, school.¡±
While saying that, Amae was patting my head.
I was talking a lot, so before I knew it, I had already reached the front of this country¡¯s magic school.
It was a big school building and the yground attached to it was beautiful with a well-maintainedwn.
And I was still unaware of the future and my newfound determination.
I¡¯ve interacted with academy and magic school students from other countries, but this was the first time I¡¯ve ever set foot in a school in another country.

Chapter 97 ¨C A Hair-Raising Experience
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Let¡¯s go¡±
¡°Is it really okay for me to go in, too?¡±
Even though I came to deliver the uniform, can I enter the school?
¡°...... let¡¯s go¡±
¡°So ...¡±
¡°...... Un.¡±
¡°Ah~, fine, I get it.¡±
A little bit, Amae patted me on the head as I was wondering if I should go in or not.
Well, I stepped through the school gates, thinking I might as well.
¡°Now, where¡¯s Karui? There are quite a few people in the schoolyard and I don¡¯t want to be seen too much... ga...... un?¡±
Right now, the schoolyard was full of people... huh? I mean...
¡°... I wonder...... this school... there are only girls here, right? Is it an all-girls¡¯ school ...?¡±
A sweet scent was drifting from all over the school premise. There were a lot of girls in the schoolyard... no...
¡ºWrong, child, there are males as well...... surrounded by little females...¡»
¡°...... I see.¡±
Ah. I noticed it, too. There certainly was a male student.
And he was surrounded by girls.
¡°Well, that¡¯s how this school teaches it... in passing...... look, if you do it this way, you¡¯ll be able to cast magic more efficiently.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Oh, I see. I hadn¡¯t thought of that idea... Amazing!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
The boy exined some theory to a lot of female students, as if he were in a blue sky ssroom.
A ck-haired male of medium build.
¡°Here, transfer student! No chanting, cast a test spell. So... why, what¡¯s with the power of this magic!?¡±
¡°Oh, I was told to do it normally, so I did it normally, but... I didn¡¯t expect you to be so surprised ... was it a little too weak?¡±
¡°No, no... no, I mean, it¡¯s enough!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Amazing! What power!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
A group of students were lined up in a row. They were trying to hit a straw doll with magic released from their hands, but only one of them was very powerful.
And that line.
¡°He¡¯s just like Fu. There are guys like that everywhere.¡±
I muttered unintentionally.
¡°I give up... even though I didn¡¯t want to stand out...¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±What are you talking about even though it¡¯s so amazing?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Amazing? I have no magical talent, so all I can use is Bit Fire ...¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Bit Fire with that power!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Amazingly, there are many female students around the few male students I could see.
However, aren¡¯t there far fewer male students?
Isn¡¯t the gender bnce weird?
Or, except for the teachers, is there only one boy?
Although......
¡°But, well... it¡¯s impressive. Good performance. Developing countries are...not as I expected...¡±
¡º...... Well...... Tis so.¡»
However, the magic level of that boy is quite high.
Reminiscent of Fu, who was said to be a child prodigy, he is likely to be a top-ss student at the Imperial Academy.
Will this guy participate in the tournament in three months¡¯ time?
It¡¯s not quite as shocking as that Machio¡¯s numbers or Karui¡¯s running, but it¡¯s quite exciting.
¡°Hey, Amae. Is he famous, too?¡±
¡°......?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡±
By the way, Amae doesn¡¯t seem to know much. She tilted her head and didn¡¯t seem particrly interested.
¡°Hey, transfer student. Certainly, the power of that magic was ok, but it¡¯s all too self-styled... how to knead magic and posture... see, you need to focus on these fundamentals...¡±
After witnessing the boy¡¯s magic, a man who seemed to be a teacher was giving advice on ¡°how he better do it like so¡±.
That would have been a verymon sight.
But......
¡°Who decided that the way the teacher described was right? I think that kind of conventional teaching leads to the destruction of each individual¡¯s personality. Students need guidance that further develops the individuality...¡±
¡°Nuh-uh, wh, what?¡±
¡°In order to do that, we have to respect the students¡¯ autonomy and let them do what they want to do... because students are not puppets of their teachers. If you don¡¯t, you won¡¯t think for yourself and you won¡¯t be able to grow in life.¡±
That¡¯s quite the dispute.
¡°Ah, the troublesome type... I feel sorry for the teacher. Come on, let¡¯s go while we can.¡±
¡ºTroublesome... you are actually saying that?¡»
No, I¡¯m very obedient and charming, aren¡¯t I? While thinking so, I ignored the situation in the school yard, and looked around with Amae searching for Karui...
¡°But... I don¡¯t see that girl.¡±
¡°Un...¡±
I don¡¯t think she¡¯s in the schoolyard, so I guess she¡¯s in the school building ...
¡°I mean, I shouldn¡¯t havee this far and just had someone call her at the school gate from the beginning...¡±
¡°... Ah ...¡±
¡°You¡¯re just realizing that now?¡±
I thought we were both acting careless, so I chuckled a little....
¡°Hey, what are you doing there!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Damn, I¡¯ve been discovered.
A schoolgirl, probably younger than me, found me and shouted in a loud voice
And, fiercely ring at me, the girl carried a sword on her waist...
¡°I¡¯ve never seen this guy before... You, stranger! I will cut you down, suspicious bastard!¡±
¡°.........¡±
bbergasted. A real sword was pulled out.
At this moment I realized the seriousness of entering a school in another country without permission.
But why would a student normally carry a sword around during ss?
¡°... Ah, I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m not a suspicious guy, so I¡¯ll stand down now! A student of this school forgot their things, you see, this little girl ¡ª¡±
¡ºHmm? Oi, child ... from the sky ...¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
The sky. Tre¡¯ainar told me to look up.
¡°Late,te, wh, kyaaa!¡±
A girl¡¯s voice from the sky. Looking up I saw... the sunset?
Wow! I don¡¯t know why a girl fell from the sky, but... anyway, it¡¯s dangerous, so let¡¯s avoid it.
¡°Mooove.¡±
¡°...... Huh?¡±
¡°Ah, my bread!?¡±
Somehow, a girl who flew in the sky with a broom appeared while holding bread in her mouth, which fell straight down.
Late? Are you just arriving at the school?
When does this persone to school with a piece of bread in her mouth while brushing her teeth? What a vulgar fellow.
¡°...... Kya, my skirt!? ...... Hey, did you see it? No, no!¡±
And, she got angry for some reason. She fell, and the legs were spread wide open, revealing what should be hidden... orange of the sun at sunset.... no, it¡¯s morning now...
Well, it¡¯s obviously an idental pantsu, right?
And I didn¡¯t use a Canonicon!
¡°You... Shame on you! Die!¡±
¡°Pervert!¡±
Eh? Now...... am I really in the wrong?
Instruct me, almighty master.
¡°Hmm? Hey, what¡¯s going on... Hey, what are you doing? Who is that man?¡±
And, themotion spread to the schoolyard in an instant, people began to gather, and a ck-haired guy stepped forward.
The teacher... ah, not good, I¡¯m in a lot of shock, my head was swooning.
Then, the girl who suddenly pulled out the sword and the woman in orange panties instantly ran up to the ck-haired guy when they saw him.
¡°Se, senior! This guy, this shameless trespassing guy.¡±
¡°Listen, th-this person, saw my panties! Only you... sh, showed you... I didn¡¯t... I¡¯m t-tainted...¡±
The two girls moved to either side of a ck-haired guy as if they were saying ¡®my position¡¯.
Ah I see...... that¡¯s how it is... these girls, they¡¯re his hanger-ons....
Anyway...
¡°I see... this is what you call culture shock. They are hair-raisingly annoying women...¡±
¡º...... Do not say too much...¡»
I guess I¡¯m the one at fault... well, it can¡¯t be helped, but.... it¡¯s kind of annoying.
¡°What¡¯s that? You...... I don¡¯t know who you are.... breaking into this school... what you did to my friends.¡±
And, he looked angry about the follower¡¯s panties being seen.
The ck-haired guy was kind to the girls earlier, but he had murderous eyes for me.
It¡¯s regrettable, unfortunate. I¡¯ll exin the situation properly.......
¡°Ah! It was an ident.... to start with, I¡¯m here because a student of this school forgot their things ¡ª¡±
¡°Annoying, shut up!¡±
¡°Eh, eeeeehh?¡±
Bam, the ck-haired man trampled on the ground with anger.
Somehow... he didn¡¯t listen to the situation....
¡°F, friend... Hah~...... friend~... this, dense¡±
¡°As usual, senior is so thick-headed. But I won¡¯t give up. From the time I lost one-on-one to senior, I will have senior¡¯s children ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
And, what¡¯s with your lewd faces? Ah~, really annoying.
¡°Both of you, step back. This is my.... eh? Come again? I didn¡¯t hear you, but did you say something?¡±
¡°Again, thickheaded!¡±
¡°And don¡¯t make me repeat myself. Don¡¯t draw your sword easily. To swing a sword is to cut a person, to kill a person, to be cut yourself, and to ept the weight of the resolve to be killed as well ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª.¡±
¡°Ah... Senior...... ?¡±
This is bad.... I never thought I¡¯d get this much culture shock...
¡°I wonder ... this may be the first time I¡¯ve ever felt like punching a man or woman...¡±
Honestly, I don¡¯t care about his face or his name. Anyway, it¡¯s too much and I don¡¯t want to talk with him for even a second....
¡°I won¡¯t forgive anyone in the world who messes with my friends! I won¡¯t forgive you even if you apologize! Ba...... oh, hey, wait, where?¡±
I want to fight back, send him flying... but I will bear it.
¡°Really, if you don¡¯t forgive me even after apologizing, why would I associate with you?¡±
¡°Oh~¡±
Keeping in mind that this is the culture of this country.... for the time being, I ran away while carrying Amae.
¡°Or rather, I didn¡¯t expect to be treated like that... well, I was the one who entered without permission, my bad.¡±
¡°Un?¡±
¡°I mean, you could have told me first, don¡¯t go in without permission.¡±
¡°Un~...¡±
¡°Seriously, well, you didn¡¯t tell me... now, what do I do about this... at the school gate, some people are standing around and keeping watch.¡±
For now, I thought I would run away, but people were waiting at the entrance, probably to keep me from leaving.
What a pain.
¡°For now... do I run up the wall from the back?¡±
¡°Un?¡±
That¡¯s why I went around to the back of the school building, not in front of the building... thereupon......
¡°...... Nu-!!??¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±......Hmm?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And thereupon, I had an encounter, damn it.
¡°Ah......Eh?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±............?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
There were male students sitting in the corner behind the school building in a ridiculously gloomy atmosphere.
At first, I misunderstood that this school was an ¡°all-girls¡¯ school?¡±, but there were such male students.
¡°Ah, no, I¡¯m sorry... oh, I¡¯m not a suspicious guy.¡±
It was a little unexpected, so I tried to excuse myself quickly. But for some reason, all the boys there had eyes that seemed terribly dead or cursed by the world.
They looked right at me, and they knew I wasn¡¯t someone from this school, but nobody seemed interested in me.
¡°............¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±..............¡±¡±¡±¡±
However, the awkward silence continued, and I couldn¡¯t stand it....
¡°Daaah, I¡¯m curious! You, just who are you? Ah?¡±
His unkempt hair, and his uniform out of sorts, this vulgar male student was picking a quarrel.
But soon...
¡°Hey hey, stop that, ¡®Oratski¡¯. That¡¯s how you immediately pick a fight ...¡±
¡°Shut it, ¡®Mortriage¡¯, you may be curious too! How long will you keep acting like an honor student, broke aristocrat!¡±
A blonde with well-ordered features. To all appearances, a wealthy noble son...... looks aside however, his uniform was riddled with dreadful patchwork, yet he tried to calm the boy who was looking to rile me up.
¡°Fight, th, that¡¯s no good! Might be a transfer student, w-we don¡¯t know!¡±
¡°Uh huh. Let¡¯s get along like normal.¡±
¡°Geez, ¡®Budeo¡¯! ¡®Mobner¡¯! You guys...ah~, whatever, don¡¯t care!¡±
And then the other boys stood up, too.
Somehow, an extremely chubby guy and ... well, a normal and featureless fellow.
After being warned, the guy looking to fight clicked his tongue and sat on the spot.
¡°Yo, sorry about that. Are you a transfer student? Perhaps the whole school atmosphere was too much for you to bear and you came here too?¡±
¡°... Ah, no, uh ...¡±
¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m Mortriage. ¡®Mortriage Revive¡¯. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±
The boy introduced himself with a refreshing smile and offered his hand to shake.
And the other guys ...
¡°Bo, Budeo... ¡®Budeo Hamsan¡¯, wh, what!¡±
¡°I¡¯m Mobner. ¡®Mobner Victor¡¯. Thanks. Hey, Oratski, you too.
¡°Tch... ¡®Oratski Friend¡¯.
The guys introduced themselves one after another... as if to wee a ¡°newrade¡±.
Thus, dozens of guys would introduce themselves to me.
To be honest, I really didn¡¯t want to get involved with them, so I tried to get out of there as soon as possible.
But I didn¡¯t know.
I didn¡¯t realize that this encounter was the start of the revolution of the disadvantaged boys, the first since the country¡¯s civil war ended.
Chapter 98 – I Can’t Remember
Chapter 98 ¨C I Can¡¯t Remember
Tranted by: Sads07
Let¡¯s get out of here soon¡
¡°My father was an aristocrat of the old regime. He was captured during the civil war, and is now imprisoned and his house has fallen into ruin. Until then, I too was surrounded by a lot of girls¡ and got a little full of myself before that¡. I wonder, am I being punished? After my father was imprisoned, the girls around me did an about-face and started speaking ill of me and snickering at my expense¡ at one point, I had a political marriage arranged with the daughter of an old acquaintance of my father that involved the reestablishment of my family, and I¡¯m only 15, but when the wedding ceremony was being held a few months ago and I was about give a kiss for my vows¡ the man who is in the schoolyard now showed up and said, ¡®This sort of marriage is wrong¡¯. Then stole the bride, and that girl even cried, ¡®Take me!¡¯. It was too much, so much that I couldn¡¯t keep up¡¡±
¡¡ I thought, but I found myself sitting there.
¡°Hey, wait a minute!!¡±
From the beginning, I was listening to his story, but I suddenly yelled out.
¡°What the hell, that bitch! Who runs away in the middle of their wedding? That damned annoying woman!? I mean, who had to pay for the ceremony?¡±
¡°From what little assets I had left in the house¡¡±
¡°No, no, no, no, it¡¯s not the marriage that¡¯s wrong, it¡¯s the THOT! Talk about troubling others¡ so, where is that woman now?¡±
¡°Look, out in the schoolyard¡¡±
When Mortriage pointed to the schoolyard from the back of the school building, among the girls flocking the ck-haired guy¡
¡°Where did that pervert go? I¡¯ll definitely get him!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve incurred divine punishment, haven¡¯t I? Yesterday, we didn¡¯t tell anyone, but¡ we were on a date, right?¡±
¡°Oh, I heard that too! So unfair! I will not allow one person to monopolize that cool guy!¡±
¡°Have you forgotten our love alliance? Apart from that, you can¡¯t judge a boy just by his looks¡ though he is certainly smart looking, but¡¡±
¡°Senior, is that true? You two were on a date¡ that¡¯s cheating!¡±
Somehow, well, I guess it¡¯s one of those¡ I wonder¡ I¡¯ve never spoken to them before, but I thought it would be nice if everyone exploded.
¡°Mortriage is still fine! Me ¡ I found a girl who was lost in the city and when I tried to help find her parents together, I was arrested because they thought it was a kidnapping of a little girl. And the girl seemed to have a sister in my ss, and the next day all the girls in the ss treated me as a criminal¡ u, uuugh!¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s beyond the level of pity¡ who the heck is that girl?¡±
¡°She¡¯s in there, too¡¡±
When Budeo pointed to the schoolyard while crying, well, yes¡ she¡¯s among that group of girls.
¡°Keke, what about me? The first day a transfer student moved into the school, I called out to him, thinking I¡¯d be friendly, and he said, ¡®Shut up!¡¯ then ¡®Bang!¡¯ I hit him and sent him flying over the desk as it is. But, the girls in the ss praised me going ¡®so strong~¡¯ and so on¡ what the hell is that? And yet, the girl sitting next to me looked down on me saying I¡¯m a savage and the transfer student was a smart honor student¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s the transfer student¡¯s fault no matter what you think, right?¡±
¡°Me¡ nothing in particr¡ if I dare say, a childhood friend who lived next door is ¡ in there¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
I wonder. Everyone was living a very sad student life.
But for some reason, I don¡¯t feel like a stranger.
By no means, but I don¡¯t feel like leaving with ¡°Well, it¡¯s none of my business¡±.
¡º¡¡ effort, talent, circumstances, and various other factors¡ lead to the existence, of those sorts, too.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar, sitting with me next to me, also had a subtle expression on his face.
¡°W, well, that¡¯s fine, isn¡¯t it? As far as I can tell, they¡¯re all bitches, right? They hate me so much¡ or rather, here in this ce, and with all these bastards present, why don¡¯t you all just parade around and have a good time together?¡±
¡±¡±¡±
It¡¯s just not the same anymore. This atmosphere made any words of encouragement seem to ring hollow.
That¡¯s not what I¡¯m talking about.
¡°¡¡ geez¡ I got roped into something weird ¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but swoon, wondering what was going on.
And then¡¡
¡°There you are, you suspicious bastard!¡±
¡°I found him!¡±
Oh, here theye¡
¡°Hey? What¡¯s going on? That¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Wait! It¡¯s not safe for you to be out here!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right~, there are a lot of scary boys over there¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, if they try to do something, then I¡¯ll knock them down!¡±
The schoolyard bitches pulled the ck-haired guy along, and then showed up to the back of the school building.
Moreover, with a lot of hostility.
¡°Oh ¡ in a ce like this ¡ why, were you with these guys?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ugh¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
As for the boys behind the school building, they were all backing away, looking a little frightened of the ck-haired guy and the girls, as if their hearts werepletely broken.
And¡..
¡°Well, you can¡¯t run anymore, can you? I¡¯m not interested in those who sneak away, and I don¡¯t want to pick on the weak, but I won¡¯t tolerate those who make girls sad and run away.¡±
The ck-haired guy who caught up stared at me with a ring eye and talked confidently.
¡°¡¡What? Girl¡What?¡±
Made a girl sad¡ Who¡¯s running away?
¡°¡ you ¡ eh ¡¡±
What? Floating through my mind¡ Sadiz¡¯s voice calling my name. Mother too. The Princess¡¡ doesn¡¯t matter.
The ck-haired man may not have said it with a ¡®that sort of intention¡¯, but¡ surprisingly¡ to think he would touch that wound with pinpoint uracy¡
¡º¡¡ Child¡.¡»
¡¸¡¡? ¡¹
¡º¡¡ restrain yourself¡¡ do not be so dejected¡ tis unbing, is it not? Besides, these ones¡ pose no threat.¡»
As my irritation was growing and wondering what I was going to do about it, Tre¡¯ainar said that at just the right time.
¡¸¡¡ What do you mean?¡¹
¡ºComprehend my words. I do not give instruction to help you torment the ignorant youths of a developing country¡¡»
¡¸That¡¯s¡ true.¡¹
¡ºI said so in Cantidan as well, did I not? Even if you over-overwhelm a small fry and get on top, on the other hand, it makes you look small¡ as well.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Haha¡¡¡¹
The fist that went out¡ but¡¡ I just grasped it and endured it.
¡¸Yes¡ that¡¯s right.¡¹
I know. I raised my fists, which I almost swung, and¡
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Actually, I¡¯m just here to deliver some things a girl named Karui¡¯s forgot, along with this child, Amae, on my back¡¡±
¡°Un!¡±
¡°¡ Ah! That child¡ from the church¡ and Karui, surely, wasn¡¯t there a student like that in the freshman ss?¡±
It wouldn¡¯t have been a hassle if I had done this from the beginning. If I had apologized honestly¡
¡°So ¨D¨D¨D¨D please give me a break. Forgive me.¡±
¡ºFufu¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was grinning beside me as if he was testing me.
That¡¯s fine, isn¡¯t it?
¡°Hey, hey¡ he¡¯s already¡ apologizing so much, so please forgive him.¡±
¡°B¡ big brother Mobner¡ cough¡ Senior¡¡ humph¡¡ still as jittery and timid as ever, a real softy. Despite that¡¡ I can¡¯t stand it.¡±
Then, before I bowed my head, Mobner intervened.
At the sight, the strange woman with a head for swinging a sword clicked her tongue.
Ah, this is the childhood friend who lived next door that he was talking about.
¡°Hey, I don¡¯t know what happened, but he¡¯s being the adult and really apologizing with his head down¡ let it go¡ consider his feelings.¡±
¡°Oratski¡ you¡¯re still the same¡ man or woman, in the first ce, the most important thing in an apology is the heart, isn¡¯t it?¡±
A girl with sses and a punctual impression. She felt like an honor student or a chairperson¡
¡°Oh, calm down! Th, this is a peaceful ce!¡±
¡°Geh!? Budeo!? Hey, I feel sick, why this criminal perv¡ ugh, the worst ¡¡±
Somehow, she¡¯s kind of vulgar. Wearing make-up and the uniform to make an appeal like ¡®I¡¯m cute, right?¡¯, it seemed.
¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to say that¡ even if Budeo is¡ such a bad guy¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Stay away from him¡ I heard he was a kidnapper¡¡ after all, bad people cover for bad people¡ Mortriage¡¡±
She seemed like the most mature, and the most harmless at first nce, even though she looked like a small animal, she said the ugliest things.
Ah¡ I see¡ the guys looking out for me and the specific girls reacting to it¡ ah, with abination like this¡
¡°Ha~, all right, that¡¯s enough. It looks like I¡¯m messing around with him¡ but you¡¯re a real coward, to apologize all of a sudden after being scared. The other boys too. You should all learn a little from Jos¨¦.¡±
And when I found the general corrtion, orange panties said in an borate manner.
And now I heard a ck-haired guy¡¯s name.
¡°Well, I don¡¯t want to stand out fighting in a ce like this¡ ¡®Chiyo¡¯¡ is that okay? ¡¹
¡°Yes. But I don¡¯t want to wear these panties anymore¡ boso¡ Ehehe, I wonder if Jos¨¦ should pick out some new ones for me to wear ~¡±
¡°Eh? What?¡±
¡°¡Ah!¡±
¡¡ I hope you explode¡ ah, but it¡¯s been solved for the time being, right?
¡°Ah~, um, that¡¯s really my bad. Well then I¡¯ll be going. Oh, thank you guys, thanks for covering for me. Then,e on, Amae.¡±
¡°Un.
That solved the problem¡ So¡¡ I silently passed by¡.
¡°Um~¡ ah~¡. um, it might seem meddlesome, but¡ you boys there.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eh¡???¡±¡±¡±¡±
It¡¯s not my problem anymore. I know, but somehow I can¡¯t leave as it is, so I looked back¡.
¡°It may be none of your business, but¡ don¡¯t just linger there. Try to do something else. In three months¡¯ time, there¡¯s that Arcane True Zenith tournament, right? So, like, as a man, go ¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡®Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
But before I could finish saying everything, the girls¡¯ unpleasantughter echoed.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m surprised¡ the Arcane True Zenith tournament¡ that¡¯s the battle between the hero of the revolution, Machio, and Jos¨¦, isn¡¯t it? Well, the winner will be Jos¨¦ though!¡±
¡°Don¡¯tugh, Chiyo. Fufufu, but¡ there were boys other than Jos¨¦ in the tournament? I never even thought about it.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way these ugly bastards are going topete in a tournament like that!¡±
¡°And even if you do, you¡¯re no match for Jos¨¦¡¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s true. We don¡¯t know much about the strength of the hero Machio, but either way, Jos¨¦¡¯s victory will remain unshaken.¡±
And, seeing their reaction, I¡¯m reminded of that, too.
No, the High Priestess ¡ I mean, Jamdi¡¯el also said something like that.
Since it was almost certain that Machio would win the championship if only the Arcane True Zenith style was involved, she also allowed the students of the School to participate so as to increase the number of contestants.
¡°Dear oh dear, don¡¯t tter me too much. I¡¯m just a former viger who has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army guys or the wizards.¡±
¡°Really! Just a viger, even though you just transferred to another school and did a lot of things in a few days!¡±
However, Jamdi¡¯el still said that Machio was the clear winner, but these guys believe differently.
¡ºWell, I know not about that Machio yet, but¡ tis enough from the figures on the bench press and that Jamdi¡¯el affirms him. And ¡ this little Jos¨¦ boy¡. well, he seems fairly capable, but¡ rather, if this little boy by any chance¡ hmm¡¡ just a viger¡ if not of a wizard¡¯s lineage¡he may be using ¡®that¡¯¡¡»
As Tre¡¯ainar said, between the opinion of these girls and that of a former Six Supremacy, which is more reliable, it goes without saying.
Besides, even from my point of view, this Jos¨¦ is¡ well¡¡ with his body build, the amount of magic I felt¡. he¡¯s not weak¡ that¡¯s what I sense.
¡°Hey, maybe you¡¯re going to be participating in the tournament too?¡±
The ck-haired guy asked me. So, I¡
¡°Oh. Forcibly, but still.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Then I¡¯ll pay you back for what you did to Chiyo today.¡±
Discipline ¡ So idental pantsu¡¡ Well, there was a time when I never wanted Sadiz to show what¡¯s under her skirt to any man but me, so I don¡¯t know¡
¡°Oh yeah~, for making your girlfriend cry.¡±
¡°Girlfriend? Who?¡±
¡¡ I don¡¯t want to wait three months, I want to bludgeon him now. This guy is not very smart, is he? Why don¡¯t you understand the flow of the current conversation? He¡¯s missing an important thought process as a person¡
¡ºFor you of all people to say that¡¡»
Hmm, what¡¯s wrong with Tre¡¯ainar? Why are you looking at me with pitiful eyes there?
¡°Oh yeah? Girlfriend? Oh, hey, we look like that! Even though he¡¯s a pervert, he¡¯s a good judge of character! Yes, and eventually¡ Hehe, I¡¯m Chiyo! ¡®Chiyo Lowing¡¯. I¡¯ll be the wife of the strongest man in the country, so remember that!¡±
However, being so happy about my remark, the girl was suddenly smiling and huffing.
But even if you introduce yourself, I¡¯m not going to remember it.
¡°Oh, no! This girl is delusional! Rather, I will be the wife of the coolest man in this country! Menk. ¡®Menk Ishregal¡¯, remember it!¡±
So, even though I didn¡¯t ask the vulgar woman as she went all huffy, she introduced herself¡
¡°Eh? I, is this an introduction tide? Fuh, hun? I am the wife of the most righteous man in thend¡ My name is Soud! ¡®Soud Cranam¡¯! Remember, you rascal! Next time you do anything else, I will cut you down with this sword of justice!¡±
And, even the weird girl with the head for swinging a sword around gave her name.
¡°Haha¡ Me too¡¡ I shouldn¡¯t miss out¡ right¡¡ I hope to be married to the best honor student in this country¡ ss¡ ¡®ss Waller¡¯.¡±
¡°Oh, geez, guys, is that cheating?¡± Me! Yeah! Wow, I¡¯m¡ the wife of the most faithful person in this country¡ Soak¡ it¡¯s ¡®Soak Naon¡¯.¡±
I didn¡¯t particrly want to hear anything about sses and even the awful girl introduced herself¡But¡I can remember it!
¡°Heh, everyone already has an ideal image of the person they want to marry¡ I didn¡¯t know.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Come on, really what the hell.¡±¡±¡±¡±
Okay¡I¡¯ve gotten used to this farce.
I don¡¯t care about the names of the girls.
However, I¡¯ll just remember this guy for the time being.
¡°So? You¡¯re¡ Jos¨¦, was it?¡±
¡°Ah! Jos¨¦¡¡ ¡®Jos¨¦ Drag¡¯¡¡±
¡°Hmm. Ok¡¡ that¡¯s it for me¡¡±
Then, after listening to the name of my opponent, I left the ce which had no further use to me.
Earlier, I tried to say ¡°Let¡¯s do our best¡± to the boys by talking about the tournament as a kind of encouragement, but it didn¡¯t seem like the right kind of atmosphere, and if they didn¡¯t have the will to fight, I knew I had no right to interfere, so I didn¡¯t say anything else.
Forget about that, let¡¯s get to training!
With that in mind, I decided to go.
So I didn¡¯t realize that all the boys who remained there were clenching their fists and biting their lips.
Author¡¯s Note
This time, because it was a magic school, 10 students were introduced at once as new characters¡ but in reality, they won¡¯t actually get involved in the story much. It is just a parent¡¯s mind that gave out the names. Only a few people are important in Part 4.
For reference, only the names are listed below.
Wizarding School Students with the exception of Karui
Male
- ¡¸Jos¨¦ Drag¡¹
- ¡¸Mortriage Revive¡¹
- ¡¸Oratski Friend¡¹
- ¡¸Mobner Victor¡¹
- ¡¸Budeo Hamsan¡¹
Female
- ¡¸Chiyo Lowing¡¹
- ¡¸Soud Cranam¡¹
- ¡¸Menk Ishregal¡¹
- ¡¸ss Waller¡¹
- ¡¸Soak Naon¡¹
Earth can¡¯t remember it, so I can¡¯t remember it. But I¡¯ll do it. By the way, the hair removal salon costs about 5,000 to 10,000 each time, and it does not seem to end at one time. To be smooth, you have to go through it many times. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to go, so I¡¯ll do my best in the novel.
Chapter 99 – Fresh Training
Chapter 99 ¨C Fresh Training
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°No way~, thanks a lot, big brother. And thank you too, Amae.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
It was a critical situation at the back of the school building, but I managed to let it pass, and soon found Karui.
When she arrived at school, she realized that she was empty-handed and in her church habit, so she was loitering around the school gate.
¡°Well, Amae still got to enter the school grounds with big brother. Did you make a scene~?¡±
¡°... Well ...¡±
I... made a scene....... In the end, it was settled peacefully.
¡°I just met some annoying girls... pitiful boys.... a strange guy.¡±
¡°Wow, big brother, that¡¯s splendid~, such a harsh thing to say... well~, this school, it just gives that~ impression?¡±
Karuiughed bitterly as she guessed what had happened from my subtle expression.
¡°I mean, it might seem conceited but how should I put it... What the hell is up with that? Umm, that Jos¨¦ guy.¡±
¡°Oh, senior Jos¨¦. Well, big brother met someone amazing all of a sudden... the female seniors around him were amazing too, right?¡±
¡°It was annoying. I hope they will all be unhappy together.¡±
¡°Ahahahahaha, harsh! So harsh!¡±
Yes, this school. There seems to be a lot of different people, but all of them were influenced by the student life, centered on one ck-haired guy named Jos¨¦. That¡¯s what made an impression on me.
¡°Senior Jos¨¦ seems to have transferred from another school before I enrolled in the school... it¡¯s just a rumor. He was from a rural vige that had never produced any magical school students, and he was looked down on by everyone at first, but suddenly he showed a ridiculous power even though he says ¡®I have not trained properly before¡¯ and suddenly became a celebrity. His strength, magic, and the kindness to girls, got all the girls in the senior ss excited. So, all the senior boys lost their ce and were thrown to the corner of the school building one after another... just tottering around.¡±
¡°Heh~... That¡¯s right. But you have talent...¡±
Well, I think I had enough power to be that confident.
Although......
¡°Well, no. Either way.... in three months... the winner won¡¯t be that Jos¨¦ guy...... nor Machio.¡±
¡°Oh!?¡±
No matter who I talk to, what I¡¯m going to do won¡¯t change.
Besides, I¡¯m looking forward to seeing how strong I can be in these three months.
The people of this country and the wizarding school, what they¡¯re going through, who they are, what they¡¯re all about, are not that much of a concern for me right now.
¡°Heh~... so cocky~. You¡¯re going to beat Mr. Machio, are you?¡±
¡°Well, I haven¡¯t met him yet, so I still don¡¯t know how strong he is.¡±
¡°Nyahahaha, you¡¯ll see him soon... but, uh... yes, I¡¯m looking forward to it! I¡¯m rooting for you, big brother! Of course, Amae also supports you, right?¡±
Karuiughed somewhat happily at my deration. And waved to Amae as if teasing her, but......
¡°Un... not possible...-ish.¡±
¡°Oh, Amae?¡±
¡°Uncle, stronger, than this.¡±
¡°Hey, hey, hey! Let¡¯s cheer for big brother there! Amae wants sister to be happy too, right? Besides, Uncle, Mr. Machio is still in his twenties!¡±
Since she was a child, she was not afraid to give her pure opinion, but I was called ¡®this¡¯.
¡°Th, this guy... don¡¯t tell me.¡±
¡°Ahaha... sorry~... well, for me and Amae, when our parents died, Mr. Machio is like an older brother... like a dad. To Amae, Mr. Machio is the strongest in the world. I think~ ¡°
¡°Hee... Well, then you¡¯ll have to be sad in three months... but...... I see...¡±
Somehow, I heard a little of Amae and Karui¡¯s sad past without dy.
Well, I didn¡¯t say anything more to Amae¡¯s words.
¡°Well, I¡¯m going now! Oh, Amae.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
When I signaled Amae that we were going home right away because my business was done, she nodded and jumped on my back.
Karui also smiled at Amae¡¯s manner.
¡°Oh! Amae~, splendid, you¡¯ve let your guard down around big brother quite a bit. This guy~, if you got her to trust you right away, you¡¯ll soon have the senior girls of this schooltching on to you!¡±
¡°Un?¡±
¡°Hey, hey, you¡¯re outrageously forthright... aren¡¯t you interested in that Jos¨¦ guy too?¡±
¡°Nyahahahaha, aren¡¯t you saying too much? Well, me and senior Jos¨¦....e on, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s an amazing guy, but the High Priestess is far more amazing, I¡¯m not interested in romance right now...... or rather, I don¡¯t think senior Jos¨¦ is that cool.¡±
I don¡¯t really get the appeal of that ck-haired guy... I wonder...... all the same, he might be the most decent guy in this country.
¡°Good. Well, there seems to be no decent guys in this school, so if you¡¯re not interested in love, that¡¯s good. Then I¡¯ll be going now.¡±
¡°Un,ter!¡±
¡°Oh. Then, see you at the church big brother.¡±
ording to Tre¡¯ainar, the High Priestess, Jamdi¡¯el, was also quite like a crazy woman, so I was relieved that there was a decent girl like Karui in this country.
Although her legs were superhuman, she was a normal girl.
I never thought that being normal would be so precious.
I¡¯ve been frustrated since I set foot in the Wizarding school, but that made me feel a little better.
¡°Well, hold on tight, Amae!¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°Hey, you won¡¯t get shaken off, will you? Quickly, let¡¯s train, we¡¯ll run a little on the way home, okay?¡±
¡°Okay. Karui, faster.¡±
¡°Oh, you said it!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
With Amae on my back, I turned and ran back the way I got here.
If I could only learn the way, I could run without getting lost.
Amae was humming happily on my back as I went faster than I had been going.
¡¸...... say..... Tre¡¯ainar... when we get back, where do we start?¡¹
¡ºHmm?¡»
¡¸The training menu. I¡¯m full of motivation today. I¡¯m gonna do whatever it takes, okay?¡¹
How do I use all the equipment in the dojo?
And, ording to Tre¡¯ainar, I should aim for dexterous affluence, so I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be given a variety of menus to train in a well-bnced way.
Somehow, it kind of reminded me of the days when I was training in preparation for the previous match, and I got a little excited.
¡ºAh! Then, shall we warm up already?¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
¡ºPerform Magical Parkour. The little one will be d as well.¡»
¡¸Oh, I see.¡¹
I nodded to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion.
It would be boring to just run normally while carrying Amae to the church.
Then, it would certainly be nice to double as a warm-up.
¡°All right, Amae. Are you ready?¡±
¡°Un?¡±
¡°I may be a lot slower than Karui now, but ... I can do this too!¡±
I thought I¡¯d have a little fun for a while, and I smiled. Let¡¯s go, Tre¡¯ainar,e on!
¡ºNow... nt!¡»
¡°Oh!¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Run straight and cut at an oblique angle.
¡ºJig out!¡»
¡°This time!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
¡ºQuick Out!¡»
¡°Oh!¡±
¡°Uhmm!¡±
¡ºSlice-in! Hook! Hitch! Long Post! Square-in!¡»
¡°Yeah! I¡¯ll do it all!¡±
¡°Hmm? Hmm?¡±
Magical Parkour that I did in the forest before.
After resting my body to top physical form, I felt that I was able to run sharply, even though I was inferior to Karui in speed.
¡ºYes, child. Your power and speed, as well as visual prowess, you have greatly improved the way you use your body in your previous battles. Now, not only in Magical Parkour, but also in Magical Ladder, your movements will be remarkable.¡»
Not my self-esteem, but my master¡¯s approval.
Like Amae, who for a while has been in high spirits on my back, my own feelings were uplifted.
¡ºHowever, if you only train in the same steps and footwork, you will get ¡®used to training¡¯. Once you get ustomed to the training, the application in actual performance will be difficult once you encounter a scenario different from what was practiced... as such...... I previously had you doing Magical Ladders for warm-ups, but I shall incorporate something different in the future.¡»
¡¸Oh, right away? Practice a new step. I¡¯m curious...what are we doing?¡¹
A new training to further improve this sharpness that I already thought was in good shape at this point.
That is......
¡ºRope-Jumping.¡»
¡°.................. eh?¡±
¡ºFormally called... Magical Jumping Rope!¡»
Rope?
Jumping rope...... no, even in the dojo... there was a guy who was jumping around with a rope....
¡¸Well, really... for sure, when I saw the guy jumping around, I wondered what he was doing...¡¹
¡ºFufufu, were you surprised? Well, tis no wonder. On the Surface World, you do not think much of the jump rope. Well, I suppose tis only seen as a ything for children, but... Fufufufu...... do you not underestimate rope jumping?¡»
It¡¯s just spinning a rope and jumping so your legs don¡¯t get caught in it... but... eeh? How is that going to help me practice the steps?
¡ºIt was a simple orthodox jump in the dojo.... however, the jump rope is deep.... the way you jump, the rhythm... and even the way you move the rope allows you to perform a variety of techniques.¡»
¡¸Eh, te, technique? It even works on technique?¡¹
¡ºTis so. So once you reach the dojo, take a breather... first of all, image training... for the first time in a long time, use ¡®Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿¡¯¡»
Vier. The dream world I imagine. For me, that¡¯s the space where I can face Tre¡¯ainar directly.
No, I haven¡¯t used that magic since I left my match.
¡ºIn that world, I can embody the rope jump, so I shall give a direct demonstration there.¡»
¡¸...... eh!? Ah, you... with that rope... will you jump?¡¹
¡ºHmmm, be amazed. Once, in the Demon Realm... I held the record of the 30-fold jump.... furthermore, I was deemed the ultimate performer, with my Demon King Technique!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar had a ridiculously smug look that said ¡°look forward to it¡±.
But I remembered the first time Tre¡¯ainar demonstrated thedder steps, and just imagining Tre¡¯ainar jumping over that rope, and I almost burst out.
I see...... earlier, I had to resist hitting those irritating guys, but now I¡¯ll have to resist myughter.
¡º...... Oi.¡»
¡¸Ah, my bad...¡¹
Of course, the determination in my heart was out of the ordinary. Tre¡¯ainar looked a little bit puffy, but soon returned to his original smile.
¡ºWell, tis fine. If you canugh, you shouldugh.... once you master the Ultimate Jumping rope technique, everyone will surely be amazed.¡»
With Tre¡¯ainar full of confidence, the days of training began once again.
Chapter 100 – The Weight of the Great Demon King
Chapter 100 ¨C The Weight of the Great Demon King
Tranted by: Sads07
Training in the Vier World with Tre¡¯ainar.
It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve been here, and also it¡¯ll be a new menu, so I was excited to activate the magic...
¡¸Now then, I shall perform the Magical Jumping Rope!¡¹
¡¸...... Oh.¡¹
Holding a rope in his hand, and I materialize the same thing as Tre¡¯ainar.
For now, Tre¡¯ainar will first demonstrate it, but before that...
¡¸By the way, Tre¡¯ainar... what¡¯s with that outfit?¡¹
¡¸I am in the mood.¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar had changed his outfit. Somehow, he was wearing hooded clothing.
Moreover, clothes were somewhat kind of dull, but...
¡¸This is Magical Parka... the clothing is called Magical Sweatshirt.... tis proper etiquette to wear such attire... when jumping rope.¡¹
¡¸Eh? R, really? Well but...... it¡¯s kind of a stylish...¡¹
¡¸Do you not agree? Uh huh. Tis is hooded clothing called a trainer. Tisfortable to move in orze around in your own room, and I developed it.¡¹
¡¸Heh, it¡¯s cool... a trainer.... I like this kind of thing, you know?¡¹
¡¸Uh huh, you have quite the discerning eye.... hn? ...... hnn?¡¹
¡¸What¡¯s wrong?¡¹
¡¸Nothing, yes... well...... umm? What?¡¹
¡¸What? So I like this hoodie and.... trainer thing.¡¹
¡¸......Oh, oh......¡¹
¡¸What the hell, you turn away and hide your face!¡¹
¡¸No, no, tis nothing... Kohon... So let us get started.¡¹
After Tre¡¯ainar somewhat deceptively coughed, he started the special training again.
¡¸Then tis a jump rope, but... before putting it into practice, I shall first exin the effects of jumping rope.¡¹
¡¸Osu¡¹
¡¸First of all, rope jumping is a training that can be done anywhere so long as there is a rope and a small space. In addition, tis possible to train the muscles of the entire body in a well-bnced manner with numerous variations, number of repetitions and duration. For example, ¡®Rhythm and Step¡¯, ¡®Wrist and Whole Arm¡¯, ¡®Stamina¡¯, and so on.¡¹
First of all, as with thedder, we start with the exnation of the effect as before.
I straightened my posture and nodded obediently as I listened.
¡¸Rhythm and steps. This is important for those like you who use quick footwork by constantly moving their feet in small increments.¡¹
I fully understand that. I always move my legs to keep track of the timing to avoid the opponent¡¯s attack and to hit my own attack.
¡¸Of course, you can learn steps and rhythms with thedders, but unlikedders, if you do not jump with the proper rhythm and timing, your feet will get caught in the rope .... like so...... Basic ¡¾Great Demon?Front Leap¡¿!¡¹ [1]
It¡¯s started! It¡¯s finally happening!
Don¡¯tugh?Great Demon King!!
Tre¡¯ainar looked serious, spun the rope on the spot, and jumped nimbly on both feet with a constant rhythm.
¡¸Fufu Osu!¡¹
¡¸And simply spin the jump rope like so, but while keeping the wrist at a constant height, and repeating with the same rhythm.... sometimes moving the wrists and gain momentum depending on the technique. ... ¡¾Great Demon?Back Leap¡¿.¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar continued to jump, spinning the rope in reverse rotation, and still without getting his feet caught.
¡¸If you do this for a long period of time, it will be a reasonable load, and your wrists and arms will be strengthened... And at the same time, by using the arm in rhythm well, the arm also learns the rhythm... of course, there is also the leg you are jumping on... ¡¾Great Demon?One-legged Jump¡¿... Twice right, twice left, alternating left and right...¡¹
There it is! T, Tre¡¯ainar... on one leg, is hopping! It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen it with thedder!
But once I saw it... no, the technique doesn¡¯t work on me! Endure this too!
¡¸In addition, once you get used to it...... ¡¾Great Demon?Running Leap¡¿, watch that your feet do not get on the rope or ...... ¡¾Great Demon?Weaving Leap¡¿... ... Cross your arms!¡¹
¡¸Oh, oh... Huh, that¡¯s just in awesome! Hey, it might be a little cool...¡¹
¡¸Furthermore, variations that move your feet ... ¡¾Great Demon?Cross Foot ¡¿¡¹
¡¸With both feet open left and right, cross your legs while jumping... Ufu-ah!?¡¹
¡¸Increase the difficulty level, ¡¾Great Demon?Hopscotch¡¿! ¡¾Great Demon?Split Hop¡¿!¡¹
¡¸Oh, s, see here!¡¹
From here on out, I¡¯m not sure what to do. Jumping with both feet and stretching back and forth, crouching,nding with heels with toes raised and jumping again, no... yeah...... it¡¯s amazing, but... depending on how you look at it, it¡¯s usually cool... b, but, somehow, m, make things well up...
¡¸Furthermore, to rotate the rope twice in a single jump, ¡¾Great Demon ? Double Jump¡¿! Triple! Quadruple! Stack it fivefold, and this also naturally raises stamina by doing it for a long period in a constant rhythm so as not to be unnatural! And in order to keep jumping for a long time, you also need to concentrate, tis naturally a part of the training!¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar jumped silently while wearing the hood, and the vigorously spinning rope made a whistling sound. It was so fast that I couldn¡¯t see the rope anymore.
¡¸And jumping rope is a whole body exercise! You can do this too! How to jump to train your upper body other than spinning the rope ... first, sit on the ground!¡¹
That¡¯s when it hit me.
Tre¡¯ainar sat on the spot with his legs straightened out.
¡¸Jump while sitting. You cannot use your legs, so of course you must use the recoil of your upper body to jump!¡¹
Oh, no, I have a bad feeling about this!
What the? Tre¡¯ainar suddenly turned the rope over his head as if it were asso...!??
¡¸In this way, the rope that had been spun vertically is now spun horizontally... tis taken from top to bottom like so... I jump while sitting on the ground ... its name is ...¡¹
No good! Don¡¯t do it, Tre¡¯ainar!
The world¡¯stest Great Demon King who once shook the world, leaving his name in both history and mythology.
The Great Demon King of terror who stood at the top of many races, led armies of tens of thousands, and reaped the lives of tens of thousands in battles.
On his shoulders, with incalcble fame and infamy, he must have carried the lives of tens of millions of souls, both friend and foe alike.
That¡¯s right, Tre¡¯ainar. I can understand! Even I, a kid who has never been to war, can understand.
The existence of the Great Demon King was not just his own. In the title of The Great Demon King dwelled the feelings of countless people.
That¡¯s why the Great Demon King carried a certain ¡°weight¡± in its existence and name.
That¡¯s why the Great Demon King shouldn¡¯t do that!
¡¸¡¾Great Demon?Butt Jump!! ¡¿¡¹ [2]
¡¸Bwaaaaahahahahahahaha, dowaaahahahahahahaha!! Giyaaaaahahahahahahaha!!¡¹
To reward Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s feelings for seriously giving me guidance.... most importantly, all of the training methods that Tre¡¯ainar taught were excellent... so it¡¯s all the right stuff... that¡¯s why I shouldn¡¯tugh... it¡¯s rude tough... But......
¡¸Daaahahahahaha! And, Tre¡¯ainar jumped with his butt on the ground... oh, can I jump ass? Gyahahahahaha!!¡¹
¡¸..................¡¹
But...... isn¡¯t this impossible?
Maybe even if I was told that the world would disappear if Iughed, I would definitelyugh.
The rope which was rotated at high speed and he jumped with the butt. It was so fast that you can hear the banging of the Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s ass going Don Don on the ground.
I¡¯ve alreadyughed and rolled around on the spot, and finally I¡¯m even in tears.
¡¸...... ¡¾Super Great Demon Spiral¡¿...¡¹
¡¸Hi, ha, haha, haha......heh?¡¹
Suddenly, with the vacant voice of Tre¡¯ainar, a huge shadow enveloped me as I was lying down.
When I looked up, I saw... a humongous spiral... the size of a mountain...
¡¸Ah, umm, ma, master...¡¹
¡¸The world of Vier is convenient... while you may feel pain... no matter my efforts, you will never perish...¡¹
Even though he was smiling very much, he doesn¡¯t evoke a speck of kindness, just a scary smile.
¡¸No, no, wait, Tre¡¯ainar! Oh, I did my best! Well, I endured it!? Besides, the butt jump is a foul! It shouldn¡¯t count. No- count -no- count -no- count!¡¹
¡¸... tis already out at that point ... foolish disciple of mine...¡¹
I did my best to endureughing in my own way. But is there anyone in the world who wouldn¡¯tugh at the Great Demon King¡¯s butt jump? So please forgive me for jumping ass.
But it seemed Tre¡¯ainar wouldn¡¯t be satisfied unless hepletely annihted me once, everyst pound of flesh...
¡¸Ma, master was cool! Really! Super amazing! Cool! I love it, really awesome!¡¹
¡¸Nu ... i, is that so...?¡¹
¡¸Oh, I really respect you! I¡¯m d I met my master! Really, I¡¯m really happy to be a disciple of my master!¡¹
¡¸U, uh huh... t, tis so... d, dear me, this hopeless disciple... t, that being the case... you imbeciiiiiile!¡¹
And before I started training, I had be dust for a long time.
Author¡¯s Note
Ladies and gentlemen, as always I am indebted to you.
This work has finally achieved ¡°100 chapters¡±. Thank you for always reading.
Yesterday was 99 chapters, but due to the prologue, there was a person who gave ¡°Congrattions¡± a little early, I am deeply grateful again and I am totally naked and driving!
It¡¯s been three months since I started this story... I didn¡¯t think I could get this response or drill from many spiral friends. It was my first experience with a spiral force of 80,000, so I¡¯m always excited. For the past three months, I was wondering if I could somehow respond to everyone, and I had a lot of trial and error, I was about to catch a cold, and I was looking back at my hair again.
However, I haven¡¯t run out of things I want to write, even after 100 chapters, so I look forward to working with my good friends and teachers, thank you in the future!
Anikki Burazza
[S1] Might as well drop this here as a [visual aide]!
[S2] Hey you try imagining the world¡¯s most feared and infamous viin doing [THIS ] withoutughing.
Chapter 101 – The Strongest Man in the Dojo
Chapter 101 ¨C The Strongest Man in the Dojo
Tranted by: Sads07
After a round of image training and punishment, we returned to reality.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a mirror in front of me.
Until now, it seemed that I was meditating before training on the first floor of the dojo, so no one had bothered to talk to me.
Then, when I got up and picked up the rope jump, those who were training in the dojo and Amae, who was reading a book beside me, looked up to watch me.
¡°Fuh¡ ¡¾Great Demon?Front Leap¡¿¡¡±
The basic jumping method I was doing in the world of Vier.
It was my first time doing the real thing, but as I imagined, I could jump without difficulty.
¡ºReady? Do not jump by the inertia without a set frequency or duration. Decide on a break. At first, I guess¡Three minutes. Then, with an interval in between, another three minutes to jump in a different manner.¡»
However, don¡¯t just jump like an idiot, also set a limit and concentrate.
In addition, check your posture and form as you jump by looking at your whole body with a big mirror.
¡°¡¾Great Demon ? Double Jump¡¿¡±
¡°¡±OooooooaaoO¡±¡±
No one particrly reacted when I was just jumping normally, but when I showed off various techniques such as double jumping, they started to sound impressed.
¡°That neer, isn¡¯t this his first time with a Magical Jumping Rope ¡?¡±
¡°Yeah, but how to use it and how to jump ¡ even the double jumping is done properly ¡¡±
¡°Such reflexes, he¡¯s pretty good.¡±
I¡¯m being praised for many things, but this much was fine because I¡¯ve done several image training sessions.
Moreover, I was instructed by the Great Demon King the entire time¡.
¡°Un~¡ un, un, un!¡±
At that moment, when she saw me jumping, maybe she wanted to do it too, Amae took out a small jump rope that seemed to be for children, and started jumping hard next to me.
¡°Heh, you¡¯re good at that, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Unfmm~ ?¡±
Amae smiled in good spirits whenplimented. While I¡¯m relieved by such an interaction, I was warming up my body by including variations such as running foot jumps and one-legged jumps.
Sure, it was easy at first, but as time went by, the load gradually increased throughout the body.
No wonder it¡¯s so effective if done as a daily warm-up.
In addition, it doesn¡¯t need a certain amount of room like adder, so it was very convenient that you can do it anywhere as long as you have enough space to spin this jump rope.
¡°Unfmm~, skip skip skippy~ skip ?¡±
¡°Oh, is it a game? But I¡¯m more amazing!¡±
¡°Ooh~.¡±
And best of all, children can y with it. In other words, training that anyone could do.
Watching Amae do the front leap and the back leap as she hummed, I felt once again how great this training was.
That¡¯s how we trained in front of a mirror, the two of us¡
¡°Hoh~. So the shy Amae has taken to thee already. Thou is quite the caring sort, it seems.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The High Priestess smiled pleasantly as she approached us during the training and called out to us.
Then I remembered once again that this High Priestess was Jamdi¡¯el, one of the Six Supremacy and a Great Demon General.
¡°Does thou like children?¡±
¡°Not, particrly that way¡¡±
¡°Hmmhmm, aren¡¯t children adorable? If so, what does thou think of having a child of thy own? To be precise, would thou have a child as soon as thou finds a partner, does thou want thy own children?¡±
¡°No, no no no, huh?¡±
What the heck? I was so d that Amae and I got along a little better, then Jamdi¡¯el with eyes wide open came close to me and asked that.
No, no, do I want to have a child? Do I want children? What is this fellow saying all of a sudden?
Why would me just getting along with Amae tell her that I like children and want to have children myself?
Come to think of it, that¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar was saying.
Even Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t understand her thought process.
Is this what he meant?
¡°No, not particrly¡ to begin with, I don¡¯t even have a girlfriend¡. well¡¡ even if I did, that would still be a long way off, right?¡±
I told Jamdi¡¯el that as I was jumping without losing my concentration, keeping the rhythm of the rope jumping from being disrupted.
Yes, having a child ¡. means you¡¯re going to do that, right? I mean, that kind of thing is only given after getting to know each other better¡ and getting married¡ in the first ce, me as a parent¡.
¨D¨D Earth!
Suddenly, my father¡¯s face came to my mind.
Yes, I didn¡¯t get along with my parents myself. There was no way I could be a great parent, and I felt sorry for such a child.
Well, but if I get married to Shinobu, she would put a lot of effort into our children¡¯s education¡ what am I thinking?
¡°Not yet¡ the future? Well, what do you mean the future? If you say the future, how far in the future? How many seconds in the future? How many more revolutions will this world turn before then? No one knows what the future holds. People can die at any time. Thou may die just by missing a step and falling down the stairs. But, before? Why not do it while thou still can?¡±
But, Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t like my answer¡
¡°Does thou believe the future is always guaranteed?¡±
Some words of weight and sense were thrown at me.
And as I listened to those words, I looked at Tre¡¯ainar next to me.
Maybe Jamdi¡¯el uttered these words because of this Tre¡¯ainar.
Yes, even the Great Demon King dies. That¡¯s why no one is guaranteed a tomorrow or a future.
Can I put it off? Shouldn¡¯t I do it while I can? And, surprisingly, those words gave me a lot to think about.
However, such heavy words¡¡
¡°Or could it be thou¡ is not yet familiar with coitus?¡±
¡°I did that a long time ago!!¡±
This woman easily made me mess up.
Then, yelling, I inadvertently my leg missed the jump rope and caused a blunder.
¡°What is coitus?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to know that!¡±
And, Amae tilted her head a little with a scowl on her face.
In addition¡¡
¡°By no means, at that age¡ to not¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I¡¯m full of energy every morning!¡±
¡°¡¡ But even so¡ eh? Well I never, thou has a taste for ages simr to Amae¡. scoundrel, Per¨D¨D¨D¨D¡± [1]
¡°Hold it, bitch I love sexy bodies!!¡±
I denied it out loud to Jamdi¡¯el, who was giving me a newfound suspicion. Somehow, I feel like I shouted something that I slightly regret, but¡
¡°Nu¡ Sexy body¡ I see, if that¡¯s the case¡ For example, so would it be better to haverger breasts, for example?¡±
¡°Whoa, wait, wait, what are you even talking about?¡±
¡°¡¡ Breasts¡ ¡®that one¡¯ is still developing¡ yet, I still have hope¡ besides, it¡¯s not so much about size, rather the shape is¡.¡±
I don¡¯t know if she thinks anything about what I said, she¡¯s mumbling something¡. so, it¡¯s weird¡ what is she thinking?
Tre¡¯ainar said she was not good at thinking, but somehow¡ª
¡°Phew¡ Osu. I¡¯m back now.¡±
At that moment, the door to the dojo opened¡
¡°Eh¡Oh¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Hoh~ ¡¡»
The person who came in¡.. the man caught my attention, and Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s, too.
¡°Thou has returned?¡±
¡°¡¡ Master¡¡ Are you inspecting today?¡±
¡°I suppose. What of Tsukshi?¡±
¡°She said she¡¯ll do some shopping and thene back.¡±
The moment the man came in, I felt the room temperature in the dojo increase.
¡°¡±¡±¡±Osu!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
I sweated from the whole body, steam rose, and I felt like the other people who were training at the dojo firmed up.
And¡..
¡°Ha~llo~¡ Uncle!¡±
¡°Amae¡ don¡¯t run around in the dojo too much¡ you¡¯ll get hurt.¡±
¡°Unh~!¡±
¡°And you shouldn¡¯t touch me right away. I¡¯m covered in sweat.¡±
Amae also threw the jump rope and happily ran to the man.
Seeing that, I understood.
No, even if I didn¡¯t see anything like that, I already knew the moment the man walked into the dojo.
The atmosphere was clearly different.
A physique that if a hundred people were asked, a hundred people would say it was huge. However, to be honest, if it was only height, there might be bigger guys, and in terms of race, Mr. Aka would be bigger. But this guy was not only big, but his density is amazing.
Well-developed muscles that could be seen even from the top of clothes. The arms, the neck, the legs, and everything were thick like a log, and yet, at a nce, had a hardness and craftiness to them. [2]
¡ºHoh~¡ a fine physique¡ the face is appealing as well.¡»
With a finely-chiseled, dark face and short hair, the moment he entered the dojo, his eyes had radiated an uncanny spirit, but as soon as Amae came running up to him, his eyes softened warmly and he smiled at her with a fatherly atmosphere.
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Then our eyes met.
¡°¡You¡¯re a stranger¡ is this a neer?¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. I brought him in.¡±
¡°You did, Master? ¡¡ is that right¡ you¡¯re young¡¡±
¡°Oh. He is about two years younger than Tsukshi¡. how does thou see him?¡±
The muscr man was staring at me while talking to Jamdi¡¯el.
Maybe this guy is¡
¡°I¡¯m amazed. At this young age¡ this body¡. a thick core from head to toe ¡. I also feel the flexibility of his muscles¡ he has both power and speed¡ what¡¯s more¡ a style that has been through a number of battles¡ where did you find such a gem?¡±
He looked at me with a straight face and praised me normally.
¡°Fufufufu, well, not easily. I intend to have himpete in the tournament three months from now.¡±
¡°¡¡ Is that right¡¡±
And the moment he heard I was participating in the tournament, the man¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly.
¡°¡¡ Uncle¡ he¡¯s a little strong and a little fast.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
¡°So it was a bit interesting. It was fun.¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯m d, that¡¯s good. Did you say thank you properly?¡±
¡°Un~? ¡un¡un,¡±
Amae tugged at the man¡¯s trousers and told him so¡ a little bit¡ well, I¡¯d like to say thank you.
However¡
¡°You? You are the strongest, Machio?¡±
For the time being, I intuitively knew that this was a rumored Machio.
Therefore, I asked him, and the manughed a little bitterly.
¡°The strongest¡ I¡¯m not that smug, but¡ I¡¯m sure I¡¯m Machio.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°¡ Huh ¡¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°No. I said I wasn¡¯t smug, but for a man toe face to face with me like this and look at me with such warlike eyes¡ it¡¯s the second time¡ since Bro¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Bro? Heh~¡¡ is that right¡¡±
¡°It seems to me that you have courage and guts¡ as expected of someone brought in by the Master.¡±
Somehow ¡ this was apletely different type from the strongest Jos¨¦ of the Wizarding School.
¡°You, too¡ you look pretty tough.¡±
¡°¡¡ Is that right?¡±
I could see from his appearance that power to the extent that you felt it overflowing from his whole body, but he doesn¡¯t let himself get carried away by the power, it¡¯s not humility, he just does not neglect to improve himself, a stoic eye.
Somehow, I don¡¯t think this was the kind of guy to uselessly tter his opponents.
That¡¯s why I was a little embarrassed when such a man praised me so much.
But¡¡
¡ºOi, do not let the poisonous air out of you¡ this is the one to defeat, is he not?¡»
As soon as I began to think, ¡®Isn¡¯t this Machio a nice guy?¡¯, the voice of Tre¡¯ainar called out a warning to me.
That¡¯s right. Apart from that Jos¨¦ guy, I have to fight this man.
Although, I know he¡¯s strong, but at the moment I don¡¯t know how strong he is.
¡°Hey, you¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
If that¡¯s the case ¡ this is ¡ a dojo ¡.
¡°Sorry for troubling you but, could you spar with me?¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Wha¡haaaaaaa!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I just have to check out his skill head on.
This man was totally different from the magic school boys.
I didn¡¯t hesitate to ask.
My proposal raised a voice of surprise all at once from within the dojo.
[S1] Oi! Don¡¯t just call the FBI on our boy over that! Such nder!!
[S2] Until we get an illustration, I¡¯m imagining [Brock Lesnar¡¯s Ring Entrance] ¡ soon!!!
Chapter 102 – Read the Mood
Chapter 102 ¨C Read the Mood
Tranted by: Sads07
This is a dojo. A ce where you can have mock battles. So, I could just try him out as normal.
However, my remarks clearly got the people inside of this dojo abuzz.
¡°Hey, hey... this guy, what is he saying all of a sudden?¡±
¡°As Machio¡¯s... s, sparring partner?¡±
¡°I, idiot? You wanna get wrecked?¡±
¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re kidding, right? What a naive kid.¡±
Sinceing to this country, I received culture shock in various ways, but I¡¯m reminded that these reactions are universal.
I didn¡¯t mean us trying to ¡°kill each other¡±, but it¡¯s quite grandiose.
¡°Spar with you?¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
And, I guess up to this point the person in question, Machio, had been far too strong for this kind of invitation.
Well, someone said earlier how, ¡°They don¡¯t have anyone he can spar with ¡°.
So he looked puzzled.
At the same time, although I made the invitation, I also felt that I should really do it.
¡°Spar... Hmm...¡±
That would be ¡°concern¡± for me.
Although it¡¯s a spar, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s wondering what he¡¯d do if I got hurt or something... this kind-looking man was pondering... yet he doesn¡¯t even know what I¡¯m capable of.
¡°Hey, Mr. Machio. You¡¯re a lot bigger and much older than I am, and it might sound naive to you, but... it¡¯s okay, right? You don¡¯t have to fuss about it.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°There are some men in this world who are more hurt by concern for being weak than they are by concern for being hurt.¡±
I¡¯m worried about my weakness.
I won¡¯t forget that wound.
Right? Mr. Aka.
A close friend who cared for me and walked away from me for my sake because I was too weak.
I had never been so heartbroken.
That¡¯s why......
¡°Sandbag, was it? This sandbag. Well, if you don¡¯t have a partner or if you want to check your form, just punching this is effective enough... as a man, Tsue...¡±
I set up in front of a hanging sandbag right next to me. I¡¯ve never hit it before, and at a nce it looked hard, and the contents were bulging.
¡°Great Demon Corkscrew Blow!!¡±
Then......
¡°Won¡¯t you lend me your time?
I mmed my fist into the sandbag, twisting it like a screw, and my fist prated, and the contents violently blew through it.
¡°Wha!? Hey, eh, eeeh!?¡±
¡°Ba, ha? Th, the sandbag... was punched through!?¡±
¡°That, the first time I¡¯ve seen it except from Mr. Machio!?¡±
Um...... as expected, I figured Machio could do this much, too.
But if I could do the same thing, then that¡¯s something that no one else in this dojo but Machio and I can do...
¡°I see... you...... of the country... no, a guest from outside the ind.¡±
¡°Nu...¡±
¡°Unlike myself, to whom this ind nation is everything in the world... what you are aiming for... what you¡¯ve seen is fundamentally different... that¡¯s why I feel a different vibe from the youths of this country.¡±
Oh I see... in this country, which was basically isted, there was no interaction with the outside world, so they don¡¯t get involved with guys from the outside world.
That¡¯s why, Jamdi¡¯el, who wasn¡¯t actually human, may fool around with things as a High Priestess...
¡°It¡¯s a very rare experience to work with such a man. I¡¯d be happy to oblige.¡±
¡°Hey, okay. Well, no need to hold back...¡±
Machio agreed. The surroundings were still buzzing about the decision.
¡°Master, are you sure?¡±
¡°Ah! Do as thou would please.¡±
Only Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t interfere with our exchange, but rather just observed it with interest.
¡°Let¡¯s go to the third floor. There¡¯s a ¡®ring¡¯ there.¡±
¡°Ring?¡±
So, without stopping the spar itself, we moved to the third floor to spar.
¡°Wa, wait a minute, are you really going to do it?¡±
¡°Seriously... well, I¡¯ll go check it out!¡±
¡°Me too!¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m really anxious!¡±
¡°Hey, why don¡¯t we call the city guys!¡±
¡°That Machio, even though it¡¯s just a spar, he hasn¡¯t been in the ring in a long time!¡±
¡°Ku~, the hype! We get to see Machio¡¯s show again!¡±
Then all the guys who were training until then stopped, and followed us up to the third floor.
Show? What are you talking about? It¡¯s sparring. A mock battle even.
While wondering in my mind, we went up to the third floor. And what I saw was a square shaped space of a certain width, surrounded by ropes wrapped around four pirs, set up in the center of the room.
¡°Wh, what is this?¡±
¡°This is the ring. On this, we spar in this limited space.¡±
I was shown something quite unusual, and at the same time I felt ¡°small¡±.
Up until now, I¡¯ve been fighting in fairly wide spaces, in the academy, during the match, and in actual battle.
I myself used a closebat fighter, but I used the environment extensively to disrupt the opponent with my footwork.
So this limited space... like a steel cage, it was the first time I had ever been so confined.
¡ºThe ring... in here, the fighting tactics in itself changes, there is no escape, so you cannot hide in the middle... fail to constantly move your feet, and you shall immediately be caught and done in, will you not?¡»
¡°That so... Well, I¡¯ll test out a lot of things.¡±
Immediately, I went up to the ring and got in. Checking the feel of my feet on the floor and the size of the area.
In this limited space, using footwork to toss your opponent... it¡¯s going to be pretty difficult... you would need fine movements of your feet, not just goose steps and such.
¡°So, shall we?¡±
And, Machio also came up. Only taking off his jacket, his upper body became naked.
I was involuntarily taken aback by this giant man, his muscles were so bloated and well-trained that they were stunning.
Fighting this person in such a small ce... although...... if it¡¯s just the height, Mr. Aka and Toulowe were bigger. I don¡¯t need to be scared.
¡°Right.¡±
That¡¯s why I decided to fully indulge myself.
¡°Ready, both sides. Ring the bell... begin!¡±
And the next moment, Jamdi¡¯el rang the bell. That would be the signal for the spar.
The moment the bell rang, I first tried to run around the ring to see how well my feet would work in this space. But......
¡°... Come... Come on¡±
¡°Nu...¡±
As soon as we started, Mr. Machio set up in the center of the ring, low on his haunches, with me in front of him, and the form of his hands, as if he were trying to grab me with both hands.
¡ºHoh~...¡¯Four Hands¡¯...¡»
Words I heard from the mouth of Tre¡¯ainar, who was watching from the corner of the ring. Four hands? What does that mean?
No, that¡¯s not the point...
¡°What¡¯s wrong...?¡±
Machio had not moved even a single step, he was holding the center.
And yet, I felt some kind of pressure as if being squeezed somehow.
And the problem was those two hands.
I wasn¡¯t sure what it was, but...... my instinct was telling me that those hands were abnormally ¡°dangerous¡±. Don¡¯t get caught.
¡°Phew...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
I haven¡¯t done anything yet, and I was about to be overwhelmed.
So I started by calming myself down.
Normally, you would be left defenseless by doing this in the middle of a fight, but since Machio didn¡¯t seem to be making a move on me, I was able to do it without problems.
¡°... Breathing ...¡±
Jamdi¡¯el under the ring murmured, looking at me with interest.
Apparently, she knew the effect of this.
But anyway, I calmed down a little ... Come on ...
¡°Fu~ ... right, let¡¯s do it!¡±
¡°......... Come on.¡±
First of all, I run at high speed around the opponent in the center of the ring, so he can¡¯t catch me.
He was at the mercy of speed.
¡°Whoa, oh! That kid...¡±
¡°So fast!¡±
¡°Not just power at that age, but speed!¡±
Run around at high speed, and then, and from here, start hitting left consecutive shots.
¡°...... Hou¡±
¡°First, one shot!¡±
Machio couldn¡¯t avoid it. My left hit Machio¡¯s shoulder... Huh...
¡°Wh... h, how!?¡±
Machio didn¡¯t seem to care about my left shot, and on the contrary, it hurt my hand.
It felt like steel, which made me wonder if it was really human muscle.
¡°Tch...but...¡±
It¡¯s not that agitating, although I clicked my tongue unintentionally.
Rather, it¡¯s important that my left hit suddenly.
I somehow understood that he was wearing heavy armor of muscle. Machio couldn¡¯t keep up with my speed.
¡°Great Demon Flicker!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
Then, I steadily hit with consecutive strikes of my whip-like left.
I didn¡¯t stop, and from the front, back, left and right without a break, I hit Machio.
¡°Oh... those movements... better than in the previous match I saw... in just a few days, it seems he has be even stronger... more and more...... I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was saying something, but my fists struck Machio¡¯s skin and was drowned out by the dry sound like a whip.
¡°Oraaaa! My hands won¡¯t stop!¡±
¡°...... Hmm...¡±
A dry sound continued to resonate. All my attacks hit Machio.
Far from dodging, he¡¯s not even defending? Is his reaction too sluggish?
Although......
¡°He¡¯s not just cheeky.¡±
¡°Oh, I can¡¯t see any of his punches!¡±
¡°But... that¡¯s...¡±
My fist was hitting, but it wasn¡¯t resonating with Mr. Machio¡¯s core.
Far from dodging, I felt like he dared to take it all because defending was troublesome.
Yes, it seemed there was no damage. It felt like it was meaningless no matter how many attacksnded.
If so...... it¡¯s a little risky, but... I¡¯ll dive in!
¡°Going in!¡±
Jump into his pocket. From here, m my firmly clenched fist at his open jaw.
¡°Great Demon Smash!!¡±
A powerful strike-up blow above the opponent¡¯s neck resounded dully... no way......
¡°...... wh... at?¡±
My smash caught Machio¡¯s jaw. However, Machio¡¯s neck didn¡¯t budge, and I couldn¡¯t swing my fist off either.
Yes, Machio withstood my smash with just the strength of his neck.
¡°A splendid blow...¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Hitting my body this hard, an average man would break his knuckles... the fact that you are safe is proof that you have been trained intensively.¡±
Machio praised me while receiving my smash on his chin as if nothing had happened.
No, no, no, I thought he could take a hit, but... this is......
¡°Then, I¡¯ll go too? You will be able to endure it. Arcane True Zenith ¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°First!?¡±
¡°Lariat!¡±
The next moment, looking at me in his pocket, Machio made a huge force bump on his arm and swung it around without any tricks to attack me.
However, the attack was so big that I could bend over and avoid it... but the moment the attack passed overhead, my spine froze.
What if I¡¯d gotten hit in the face with that one?
And.....
¡°Ah...¡±
The ss of the third floor windows cracked, and a huge crack ran through the wall, too.
¡°How ... wha ... aat?¡±
¡°Phew... Oh, no..... I couldn¡¯t take that into consideration because it¡¯s been a while... after all, I am still immature. I can¡¯t control my own power...¡±
He swung his arm so forcefully, its wind pressure alone destroyed the wall.
That alone was as dangerous as magic.
As expected, I was stunned too... even though I was in the middle of a spar....
¡ºFool! Do not remain vacant!¡»
¡°Eh? Ah...¡±
¡°Well, I got you.¡±
By the time I realized it, it was toote.
While I was bbergasted, Machio put both his hands around my torso and held me tight.
¡°Shit, gu, nu, wha, tch¡±
Even if I try to wriggle my way out, it wouldn¡¯t budge. I couldn¡¯t get it off!
¡°...... loosen your back form. Stretch out your hands, but prepare to take the fall.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Next thing I knew, both of my feet were floating off the ring.
The scenery turned upside down. Machio arched his back wide and lifted me up overhead... hey, wh, what!??
¡ºChild! Wh, this is... the Lariat mentioned earlier.... eh, this one! Jamdi¡¯el, I never! She actually taught this man...!?¡»
That Tre¡¯ainar was very upset. What is it? What the...? From this position... only one thinges to mind.
If you lifted me up over your head, then you¡¯ll m me vigorously...
¡°Arcane True Zenith, Power Bomb!¡± [1]
¡°Bubohoooo!!??¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±It¡¯s here. Ma, Machio¡¯s Deathly Power Bomb!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡ºPower Bomb!? T, tis unbearable! Child, stand up! Get up, child!¡»
I was mmed on my back, my breathing... no, no good, what¡¯s this? I¡¯ve been punched, kicked, shed, and hit by magic many times, but it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve been mmed on my back... my body went numb... what a power move it was!!
Somehow, Tre¡¯ainar... rather than worrying ... is he excited?
¡°Well ... generous young man. Would you like to try another one?¡±
¡°Gu, gah wh, at?¡±
Looking down at me, Machio turned his back to me and moved to the corner of the ring.
I thought he was going straight out of the ring, but he wasn¡¯t.
¡°¡±¡±¡±It¡¯s here! Machio¡¯s Deathly Full Course!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
He climbed on top of the pir standing in the corner.
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºNoo, this most certainly is!? Tis perilous, child! Stand up! On your feet, child! Find your vigor! Cheer up, child! With enough spirit, you can do anything! Show me your burning spirit!¡»
Machio, who climbed the pir, looked down at me from a high position as I was lying down. What? No, no way! Eh, he certainly won¡¯t, from there...?
Or, Tre¡¯ainar! What¡¯s wrong with you? No, more than that, Mr. Machio!
¡°Now, let¡¯s go.¡±
No way, from there... you¡¯re joking, right?
¡ºMachio climbed into the corner! What will he do there? A simple drop kick!? Diving Elbow!? Could it be, flying body m!? Either way, the child is in a pinch! From here on out, is it Machio¡¯s time!? Tis inevitable!?¡»
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡± Go, Machio!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Uncle, fight on!¡±
Hey, why Tre¡¯ainar... do you look so happy? Why are you so excited!
¡°God... in order to brighten up the citizens of the Demon Realm who were scarred by the war and gloomy dark clouds, created a ¡°show to cheer up the people¡± rather than ¡°fight¡±... this is a technique and a culture that God loved. Hence, I imparted it to Machio was most predisposed and physically fit for it...¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was gloating...
¡°Humans will inherit the skills and culture of God... and God, up in the Divine Realm, will be pleased with this new history.¡±
¡ºMachio turned his back!? Well, I see! Tis a moonsault!¡»
No, God is already pleased at the ring corner, let alone the Divine Realm!
Or rather, Tre¡¯ainar, you¡¯re cheering for Machio instead of me?
No, I won¡¯t y along, this way.
¡°Arcane True Zenith Moonsault!¡± [2]
Dangerous. While Machio was spinning in the air, he dived directly above me. Move...... Move!
But...... Somehow, I had a lot of time, and my numbness had settled a bit, so...
¡°Nooooooooooh!! Tryaaaah!¡±
¡°Pwah!¡±
Forcing my numb body to move, I managed to roll over the ring, avoiding Machio¡¯s dive.
¡°Puha~ ... missed ... Goho, Geho ...¡±
Machio crashed into the ring.
The power was enough to shake the entire dojo and to make it seem like he would eventually go through the floor.
No, maybe if he did it seriously, the technique now... even more......
¡°Whew, you scared the shit out of me... I stopped breathing... I¡¯m still on my back ...¡±
¡°Although, you can move now? That¡¯s some great resilience.¡±
¡°Ah. I¡¯ll never get caught again. What was that useless move you just made? Why are you wasting your time when you could just hit or stomp like normal!? You can usually avoid that!¡±
Anyway, I couldn¡¯t let Machio catch me anymore.
On the other hand, Iined about why Machio did such antics when he had a great chance.
And at the same time, the destructive power of Machio¡¯s attack was certainly amazing, and although it was a shy move, the motion was huge.
If you have the nerve, you can properly avoid it¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡º...... Child...... you...... durd!¡»
¡°Eh!? ......?¡±
At that time, I was yelled at by Tre¡¯ainar. Eh? Why? Was I too careless?
But......
¡ºYou... why did you avoid that attack?¡» [3]
¡°......?¡±
¡ºYou should have the spirit to ept and endure it! Are you still my disciple?? Where is the grit you showed when you stopped and exchanged blows with Aka!¡»
¡°Hah?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s sermon was totally unexpected.
He was angry that I avoided the attack.
No, why? Why are you angry at me avoiding attacks?
It made no sense to me, and I was generally bbergasted...
¡°...... boring.¡±
¡°Heh?¡±
¡°Boo, so boring.¡±
Amae, who was watching our sparring under the ring, muttered as if disappointed.
And it¡¯s...
¡°Hah~, well, that¡¯s right...¡±
¡°Come now, I know how it feels.¡±
¡°I¡¯d run away too...¡±
The other guys also expressed their sympathetic opinions, but they all looked as if they were a little let down as well.
No, why? Why am I disappointed?
¡°Eeeh, shut up! Or you¡¯re just battering on?¡±
Anyway, I decided to concentrate on this spar without being influenced by selfish and unclear opinions.
No left-handed pokes or single smashes will work.
Well, still if I just try out various other things, I move my feet on the ring again.
At that time...
¡°Dear me, I was suddenly invited, but ...! Him... ¡°
¡°Hmm? Hey, Motriage... Mobner... Budeo...... it¡¯s that guy...¡±
¡°U, un!¡±
¡°We met him at school, it¡¯s him!¡±
Normally, Machio was too strong to spar with, so when they saw a chance to watch him spar, the people in the dojo got excited and spread the word to the town.
Hearing the rumors, the people in the town stepped into this ce one after another, and before you know it, even the boys of the magic school had rushed there.
¡°Anyway, it¡¯s my turn next! I¡¯m gearing up!¡±
In such a situation, I enchanted him to the fullest.

Just as I was about to put more strength into my legs so I could move around with more speed.
¡°Stop. Interval.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ha?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el rang the bell and stopped us.
The moment he heard it, Mr. Machio turned his back on me and went to the corner.
¡°Uncle¡ water. Water¡±
¡°Aah, good girl, Amae. Thank you.¡±
¡°Unfu~!¡±
Amae offered a ss of water to Machio when he reached the corner.
Machio patted Amae¡¯s head and took it. Amae gave a delightful smile of satisfaction.
Oh, I see¡ you mean a break?
¡°Tch ¡¡±
¡ºFufufufu, how is it? Child.¡»
Going to the corner, I felt literally drained, and I clicked my tongue too.
Then a grinning Tre¡¯ainar was waiting for me.
¡¸My back hurts. I mean, what is that martial art¡ did you think that up, too?¡¹
¡ºYou might say so¡ dynamic techniques using punches, kicks, throws, joints, and even the environment¡ tis not so much about defeating the opponent, tis more to do with captivating, exciting, and entertaining the crowd.¡»
¡¸It¡¯s not going to be easy! I almost lost consciousness!¡¹
Iined to Tre¡¯ainar in my mind, but he still seemed to be enjoying himself as much as ever.
¡°Un. Water¡±
¡°Ah? Oh, are you giving it to me?¡±
¡°Un¡±
¡°I see¡ Thank you.¡±
¡°¡Mufu. Amae¡ good girl ?.¡±
At that time, Amae trotted up to me from the opposite corner and gave me some water as well.
Apparently, they¡¯re going to be fair around here.
I took it gratefully, drank it, and poured a bit on my head to calm down.
¡°Fu~¡±
Them, my mood having settled down, and I calmly recalled the previous offense and defense.
The technique that Mr. Machio performed.
However, the more calmly I think, the more I can¡¯t see the need to properly receive an attack that is so full of openings.
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s impossible to properly get hit.
¡¸I mean, Tre¡¯ainar! What was that about, I shouldn¡¯t dodge it or something¡ what are you thinking?¡¹
¡ºNo, tis a good experience, is it not? Besides, he would have held back, by nature those techniques lookrge, but their power is dispersed¡¡»
¡¸¡¡¡ just to Electrify the crowd¡¡¹
¡ºE, elektify¡»
¡¸What¡¯s more, you were rooting for Machio!¡¹
¡ºI, I was not¡¡»
When I stared at him with scornful eyes, Tre¡¯ainar looked the other way.
He was obviously agitated.
When I saw Tre¡¯ainar looking like that, I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
¡¸¡¡ was this something you were passionate about?¡¹
¡º¡¡ Nuh-uh¡¡»
¡¸And¡ seeing a guy who inherited it¡. were you overjoyed?¡¹
¡º¡¡ Child¡¡»
¡¸Geez¡¡¹
When I asked him that, Tre¡¯ainar shut his mouth to think a little. Seemed he had something in-mind.
But I saw only that reaction, and I didn¡¯t ask any more.
¡°Next round, begin!¡±
Then, the end of the interval was announced by Jamdi¡¯el, and the bell rang again.
At the same time, I got out of the corner¡
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m good enough for you¡. I¡¯ll remind you of that.¡±
¡º¡¡ eh!?!¡»
I naturally said something like a new resolve and jumped out.
That¡¯s right. Not what Jamdi¡¯el passed along, but what I inherited from Tre¡¯ainar himself¡
¡°Here we go!¡±
¡°What¡¯s next?¡±
¡°He must have been surprised by Mr. Machio¡¯s skill¡¡±
¡°Ah. He¡¯s going to attack like he did before, using his legs to run around, right?¡±
As I noticed, there were quite a few people around the ring. And some of them, as I noticed earlier, were¡
¡°He¡¯s¡ what¡¡ What the heck?¡±
¡°Umm, against the strongest warrior, that Machio¡ is he fighting?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way, right? That¡¯s¡ someone about the same age as us¡¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t scary, is it!?¡±
Even those they were there.
What are they doing here? Did you skip school? Well, staying seemed awkward.
And at the same time, I remembered what I said to them. What did I say to them when I parted?
Don¡¯t just linger there, man up, or something¡
Could I throw out such a line, be described as ¡°running around with my feet¡± and remain silent?
¡°Let¡¯s go, Mr. Machio!¡±
I¡¯m not willing to take such a stupid attack.
However, I won¡¯t dodge those attacks to be deemed as running around with my feet either.
I¡¯ll show you, ¡°how to fight with your feet¡±.
¡°Come on.¡±
Going forward, crossing the center of the ring first, and I reached Mr. Machio who was still approaching.
At the same time, I firmly clenched my right fist, swung it in motion, and hit him from the start.
¡°Great Demon Full Swing!!¡±
¡°Nu¡±
A wide swing of my fist. Usually, it¡¯s not so easy tond the hit, but Mr. Machio was still ¡®deliberately¡¯ tanking all my attacks rather than being unable to respond to them.
My fist is buried into his nose. However, Machio took it without even blinking, and his legs and neck did not waver at all.
As for me, numbness spread throughout my right arm.
Hard¡¡ But¡¡
¡°Don¡¯t move¡ here¡¯s the next one.¡±
¡°Nu!?¡±
¡°Arcane True Zenith Knuckle Arrow!¡±
Machio took a big swing at me who was in his pocket, as if he was throwing a projectile.
It was a punch that made my full swing even bigger.
That clenched fist was swung down at me¡ but¡¡ he can¡¯t hit me.
¡°Yotto¡±
¡°¡¡phew¡ fast!¡±
Well, I¡¯m not particrly surprised because I knew Machio wouldn¡¯t hit me, but I avoided Machio¡¯s fist by moving only slightly ¡®just barely close enough to graze my head and shoulder¡¯.
However, Machio¡¯s attack did not end there.
¡°Arcane True Zenith Horizontal Chop!¡±
¡°Hoi¡±
¡°¡ Mmm ¡¡±
This time, I avoid the attack like a hand sword ¡®enough to barely graze my chest¡¯.
Then, after these two evasions, Machio seemed to have noticed something, and his eyebrows twitched a little.
¡°¡¡ This is¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Child¡¡»
Also. both Jamdi¡¯el and Tre¡¯ainar seem to have noticed what I was doing.
¡°Oh, he¡¯s avoiding it again.¡±
¡°That, an amateur going against Mr. Machio is just reckless.¡±
Only the gallery seemed not to have noticed yet. But from here¡
¡°Great Demon One Two!¡±
¡°Tsu¡ Nu¡ Arcane True Zenith Straight Knuckle!¡±
¡°Hoi¡±
¡°¡!?¡±
My one-two attack poked Mr. Machio in the face, and he threw a straight punch on the counterattack.
I bent my upper body¡. swaying to barely avoid it at thest minute ¡®just enough to let him touch my bangs¡¯.
¡°Oooh, but it¡¯s dangerous!¡±
¡°A hairbreadth! He almost hit you!¡±
¡°Go, Mr. Machio, show us the mighty attack!¡±
¡°Hey, kid, if you¡¯re going to run away, run around bigger! You can see how dangerous it is!¡±
The gallery unintentionally let out a gasp at the one hair breadth margin.
However, Machio¡¯s expression had changed now.
¡°You¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t miss it! Great Demon One Two!¡±
Aiming at the edge of Machio¡¯s fist, I pulled off the one-two again.
Of course, there was no damage to Mr. Machio, and he immediately struck back again.
¡°Arcane True Zenith Water Surface Kick!¡±
¡°Yoi¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
A low-flying kick that lowered the hips to strike at my feet. I backed away and avoided the kick ¡®just barely grazing my shin¡¯.
¡°You¡ Well, Arcane True Zenith Inverted Horizontal Chop! Arcane True Zenith Low Kick!¡±
Machio¡¯s attacks were getting faster and faster, and he could shoot up and down almost simultaneously. But¡¡
¡°Not Anymore¡ I won¡¯t let you touch me.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Repeat ¡®Dare to just barely evade¡¯ at the shortest possible distance.
And it seemed that the gallery had finally begun to notice.
¡°Hey, hey¡¡±
¡°Something¡ weird, right?¡±
¡°Being so close¡ why can¡¯t you touch him?¡±
¡°Take a look! His¡ feet movement!¡±
¡°Uncle¡¯s Punch¡ not hitting.¡±
Yes, I don¡¯t use the entire ring to fight at a great distance.
Dare to fight a super closebat. In the midst of it all, always moving the feet in small increments to evade the opponent¡¯s attacks at high speed at the shortest distance.
And if the attacks of Machio be faster, then my speed will also increase, and if the power of the opponent¡¯s attack increases, I¡¯ll gradually counterattack back.
¡°A, amazing¡ so amazing! Wh, what is he?¡±
¡°He¡¯s not¡ using magic¡ it¡¯s flesh and blood¡ how can he do that!?¡±
¡°Come on¡ I can¡¯t think of any words to describe it¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡ It¡¯s like an art-form.¡±
Stop and exchange blows fairly? Use the feet to get away? Wrong. I use my feet to exchange blows fair and square.
That¡¯s my way, which started the day Tre¡¯ainar trained me. And that¡¯s what I inherited.
¡°Gu¡ what an in and out¡ and a solid left and right like a blunt instrument¡¡ what is this¡¡±
¡°I can still go fast, Mr. Machio.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Even if there was no damage, Mr. Machio seemed to be surprised with eyes wide open, as expected.
Finally, will you get a bit serious now?
¡°¡¡Certainly the footwork is splendid¡ but¡¡ that¡¯s not what I find impressive. Because, if it is only about simple speed, Karui is faster¡. therefore¡¡ what is impressive¡ is he doesn¡¯t make any mistakes. Does thou have no¡ fear?¡±
At that time, Jamdi¡¯el, who was looking at me with sharp eyes, muttered quietly.
¡ºHowever big it may be, the damage will not be avoided if it hits even slightly¡ let alone with the opponent¡¯s superhuman strength¡ without blinking at the opponent¡¯s attack in the super closebat, daring to evade by the margin of the skin¡¯s depth or a piece of paper¡ in other words, though the child has a sense of tension against that attack, it does nothing to slow his reaction with fear¡ while taken aback by the first Lariat being an unknown technique¡. that is no longer an issue.¡»
And in the corner, Tre¡¯ainar, who had been huffing a while ago, was muttering with a somewhat warm look.
¡ºHmm¡¡ such impudence¡ child¡ are you showing off? Are you telling me watch you?¡»
That¡¯s right, Tre¡¯ainar.
Don¡¯t look back on the old days.
You have me now!
¡ºMy Goodness¡ jealous are we¡ such a cute little fellow.¡»
¡¸No I¡¯m not!¡¹
¡ºOi¡ Do not distract yourself in the middle of a spar, concentrate.¡»
¡¸Osu!¡¹
And I ran through again, feeling like my back was pushed by Tre¡¯ainar, and¡
¡°Now to the right! Get blown away!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Great Demon Smash!!¡±
Regardless of my sore fist, I sent a smash, which had no damage on the left, into the lower jaw of Machio on the right.
¡°Tsu ¡ tsu ¡¡±
It was as hard as ever, and his knees don¡¯t waver or step back.
What kind of body do you have?
My fist, are you okay?
But still, it was a smash on the counter with speed.
I think it was pretty good, but¡
¡°Hmm¡ that¡¯s a big one¡ I see¡¡±
Then, Machio who received my smash¡
¡°Apparently¡ the extent of my attacks¡ you don¡¯t find them scary¡ or, do you know of even stronger attacks?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Suddenly, loosened his stance and muttered to himself as he rxed his entire body.
¡°You¡¯ve probably¡ fists more destructive than yours¡ kicks sharper than yours¡ attacks that are more anomalous and faster than yours¡ you¡¯ve fought someone who is overwhelmingly stronger than you, right?¡±
Machio looked up, stared straight at me, and asked.
To that question, I naturally remembered the faces of the four.
Mr. Aka¡¯s fists.
Bro¡¯s kicks.
Toulowe¡¯s speed and tricky attacks.
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s strength.
That was exactly what happened.
¡°Yeah. That¡¯s right.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
No matter how fascinating the technique is to watch, I won¡¯t go along with it, and I won¡¯t lose.
With that in mind, I answered Machio.
¡°Hey, hey¡ the bell hasn¡¯t been rung yet, right?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Did you quit?¡±
¡°Mr. Machio¡?¡±
¡°Uncle¡¡±
Machio suddenly stopped and ended the spar itself.
After showing a little thought, he turned to Jamdi¡¯el under the ring.
¡°Master. We shouldn¡¯t be doing any more.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°A man who moves like this¡ the only way to catch him is to go all out¡. but it won¡¯t be sparring anymore.¡±
Machio offered to suspend the spar.
It seemed to be the judgment that things will go beyond a mock battle if we go on.
¡°¡¡ Certainly¡¡ should this go any further¡ thou might break the dojo¡ or each other¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth Lagann¡ is that eptable?¡±
¡°Huh? Hmm~ ¡ well¡¡ if you¡¯re not motivated, then fine¡¡±
Even though I was still warmed up and had a long way to go, I epted the spar¡¯s suspension.
Certainly, I was convinced that it would go beyond the mock battle.
¡°That said, this spar is my loss. That was a great move.¡±
And, Machio refreshingly admitted defeat at this point.
¡°Ke, what¡ I¡¯m not happy with this one bit, and I don¡¯t think I won anything. This ising from someone who hasn¡¯t given it his all.¡±
¡°Not giving it my all? You didn¡¯t show your trump card either, aren¡¯t you same?¡±
I still had the Breakthrough.
Apparently, both Machio and I have seen that we could get a step stronger from here.
However, I understand that it was a mutual thing.
I don¡¯t feel like I can see Machio¡¯s bottom yet.
That¡¯s why we didn¡¯t reveal any more of each other¡¯s hands here, and the conclusion is¡
¡°Then ¡ this time ¡¡±
¡°Oh, in three months we¡¯ll settle things.¡±
We¡¯ll settle it in theing days. With that promise, our spar came to an end.
Chapter 104 – The Target in Three Months
Chapter 104 ¨C The Target in Three Months
Tranted by: Sads07
At the end of sparring, I got off the ring while wiping my sweat.
Well, it was more like a self-introduction than a sparring session.
Because there wasn¡¯t much damage to each other.
The pain on my back wasn¡¯t lingering, and my numbness was gradually subsiding.
However, if I¡¯d been hit with all his might, it would not have ended well.
¡°Even though, he was seriously muscr... is he really human?¡±
¡ºIndeed, he is human without a doubt.¡»
Seeing Mr. Machio wiping sweat with a hand towel, I thought for a moment, ¡°Just like Bro, Machio is actually also...¡±, which Tre¡¯ainar denied.
¡ºHe possesses higher limits of physique, skeletal structure, and muscle mass than most humans... In some sense...... tis likely he possesses what is close to the limits of the muscle mass humans can obtain by ¡°purely¡± training... without being conceited about his gifted talent... I suppose he gained such through my blood-soaked training.¡»
¡°Talent... Is it?¡±
Talent. Tre¡¯ainar also said that after my Max measurement.
No matter how hard I train, I can¡¯t catch up with Machio¡¯s power.
Certainly, despite being the same human, those thick muscles are out of the standard, a crystallization of his talent and effort.
In three months, that power will be unleashed at full throttle.
It was both interesting and quite troubling.
¡°...... A... amazing...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
That¡¯s when I noticed dozens of people around me as I stepped out of the ring.
Apparently, everyone was buzzing, as if they had acknowledged me.
Especially......
¡°You were ... so ... so amazing.¡±
¡°Who the hell are you, bastard!¡±
¡°Why.... can you do that.... that much?¡±
¡°Are you a genius, too?¡±
The guys from the magic school were surprised and puzzled by me, and had somewhatplicated expressions.
Perhaps, because I was seen as someone in the same situation as they were or the fact that I¡¯m ¡°one of many other guys other than Jos¨¦¡±.
¡°Ah, thank you. But there¡¯s still more to go.¡±
¡°Still more!? Even though he¡¯s so strong... such courage... yet there¡¯s still a long way to go...¡±
¡°Ah. Because my goal now is to win the tournament in three months... but that¡¯s not my ultimate goal.¡±
¡°...... Eh?¡±
Right. Higher and stronger.
A feat that surpasses my father¡¯s achievement of defeating Tre¡¯ainar... to achieve that, there is no thing as ¡°this is enough¡± strength to aplish it.
¡ºAlthough they call it my defeat, it was through cowardly means.¡»
And even though Tre¡¯ainar was the one whispering me an earful, but still...
I¡¯ve sparred with him many times, so I knew.
For me, who still can¡¯t evennd a blow on Tre¡¯ainar, my father who defeated him, even if it was through cowardly means, was still ahead of me.
Huh? That? But, in that sense...
¡°I think thou will do more than I imagined. And I will buy that haughty ambition.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el came over to show her appreciation to me after finishing the spar.
That¡¯s right. My father and the seven heroes who once saved the world.
Jamdi¡¯el was among the Six Supremacy who can be said to be almost the same level as the Seven Heroes.
If I fight her, I¡¯ll have a rough idea of the distance...
¡ºCease at once. tis still too soon for ¡°that¡±...¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar, who usually says, ¡°Go, child!¡±, drew the line at that idea.
In other words, the difference was still vast...
¡°Hah~, hah~, excuse me, could you step aside a little! J, just now, I heard it was a victory, but really, is it true!?¡±
Then it was then.
The sound of running up the stairs vigorously.
The voice of a woman raising her voice while gasping for breath.
A woman appeared scraping through the crowd.
¡°Huh~, huh~, huh~... Hey? Is it true that Mr. Machio sparred? Besides, it was a great spar... and he¡¯s surely aiming to win the tournament!?¡±
As soon as she arrived, she was spouting words.
She was lightly dressed in a short sleeved top and shorts, held full shopping bags in both hands, and sported a ponytail with her long ck hair pulled back into a single bun behind her head.
She wore a band around her forehead to keep the bangs out of the eyes.
And that body... although she was a woman, she was quite well-trained.
A firmly toned body. It was reminiscent of a Shinobu.
However, the only difference from Shinobu is... she had melons for breasts and they were swinging and swaying....
¡°Tsukshi, are you just returning?¡±
¡°Big Sister¡±
¡°Mr. Machio!? Is it true that you sparred?! Moreover, a good match against Mr. Machio...¡±
Oh I see... she is Amae and Karui¡¯s... even so, I thought she would be younger because she was those two¡¯s older sister, but she didn¡¯t seem much older than me... about one or two years?
¡°Yeah, he was strong. The tournament in three months... it¡¯s like an unexpectedly strong opponent has emerged.¡±
¡°S, so much...?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s the guy there.¡±
The woman named Tsukshi, after being told by Mr. Machio, came to look me over.
I also gave her a light bow and quick hello.
Then, the woman named Tsukshi...
¡°Ah! Or he¡¯s... the boy that the High Priestess brought to us...¡±
¡°Oh, seems that way.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s right... he was strong enough for Mr. Machio to praise him so much. Then, if this is the case, Mr. Machio¡¯s victory in the tournament... it¡¯s bing tougher~....¡±
Hmm? You think Machio¡¯s victory might be in a pinch, but why do you look somewhat happy?
No, both Karui and Jamdi¡¯el were like that... I¡¯m finally getting worried.
What¡¯s really going to happen when you win? No way, it shouldn¡¯t be some sort of sacrifice, right?
¡°What? Is Tsukshi worried that I might not win the tournament?¡±
¡°Eh!? No, no, that¡¯s... no, I don¡¯t think so~.... ¡°
¡°Ha, ha, but, I myself am getting tensed and motivated with this. I have to work harder to win the tournament in three months¡¯ time.¡±
¡°Ah, no, uh... Mr. Machio has been working hard enough... but maybe you don¡¯t need to work so hard anymore~....¡±
However, the ¡°good vibes¡± drifting between the two warmed the atmosphere of the room somewhat.
Are these two people in ¡°that kind of rtionship¡±?
¡°Eh... Hello~.¡±
¡°Hmm? Yes.¡±
¡°I¡¯m Tsukshi. 17 years old. I¡¯m living in a church like Karui and Amae and I¡¯m here to support your livelihood, so pleased to meet you~.¡±
She said and greeted me... 17 years old!?
¡°Oh, you¡¯re two years older than me?¡±
¡°Oh, so, are you 15 years old? Then, if you have any problems, leave it to big sister~?.¡±
¡°Oh, b, but¡±
¡°You can call me Big Sis!¡±
Tsukshi smiled and tapped her chest... surely I¡¯m not the only one who saw those swaying things.
Anyway...
¡°H, hey, Mr. Mahcio... How old are you?¡±
¡°Myself? I¡¯m 27 years old, but...¡±
¡°T, twenty-seven years old!?¡±
I thought he was over 30, but surprisingly... No, still...
¡°But Mr. Machio and Tsukshi...¡±
¡°Big Sis!¡±
¡°...... Elder Sis Tsukshi...¡±
¡°Hmm... Well, maybe apromise? So what about me and Mr. Machio?¡±
¡°No, you¡¯re... a couple yet 10 years apart in age...¡±
¡°Eehh!!??¡±
Well, it may not be umon for a couple to have such difference in age, but it¡¯s amazing that a teen is in love with someone ten years older than them.
Sadiz and I have a four-year age difference.... we didn¡¯t go out though! I couldn¡¯t go steady with her like that!
¡°Eh?! Eh, eh!? Eh?! Is, is that right? Eh!? Is, is that how it looks like to you!?¡±
And, Elder Sis Tsukshi suddenly blushed bright red and got flustered.
Hmm? That? Is it different, ¡°not yet¡±?
¡°Hahaha, no, young man. Like Amae and Karui, Tsukshi has been around since she was very young, she¡¯s like a daughter and a younger sister to me.¡±
¡°........................¡±
Ah, Elder Sis Tsukshi groaned ¡°Zuun¡± as she got tantly depressed with a heavy thump in the air, at the words Mr. Machio said with a refreshing smile.
And the people in the dojo and from the town smiled wryly.
Ah, I see. That¡¯s the way it is.
In other words, Mr. Machio¡¯s line was correct in a sense, but the remark was too cruel... Moreover, the person himself has zero malice. Didn¡¯t you notice?
Looking back, I didn¡¯t want to be treated as a kid brother by Sadiz, either...
¡°...... hmm...... I get it.¡±¡±
¡°Haha, right.¡±
¡°...... Ha~, is this how the men of this country are? Do you have hearing loss or are you insensitive to the human mind?¡±
¡°...... Huh? What do you mean?¡±
What do you know about a person¡¯s feelings if you can¡¯t notice the feelings of a woman with such a tant attitude?
¡ºOi, child... are you, of all people, saying that?¡»
¡¸Ah? That¡¯s right. I¡¯m not deaf, I¡¯m not insensitive. I¡¯ve heard Shinobu¡¯s confession, and her feelings are painfully apparent, so I¡¯ve been thinking a lot about it too...¡¹
¡º...... Huh...¡»
¡¸Wh, what is it?¡¹
¡ºNo... just...... I just felt pity for the girl.¡»
¡¸? ¡»
Somehow, Tre¡¯ainar let out an exasperated sigh of dismay at me, but what do you mean?
¡°You... that...¡±.
At that time, the boys of the magic school were awkwardly in front of me.
As I recall, this guy was Mortriage...
¡°If you¡¯re going to win the tournament in three months... do you mean you¡¯re going to beat Jos¨¦?¡±
To be honest, I didn¡¯t care about that man so much... well......
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m going to knock them all down... whoever they are.¡±
I told him so I could be heard by those around me, and I dared Mr. Machio to hear me.
¡°...... Hoh~¡±
Mr. Machio also grinned.
He firmly epted my challenge....
¡°I see. However, I will not lose. There¡¯s a reason I can¡¯t lose.¡±¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. But I¡¯m not going to lose, either. I have no reason to lose.¡±
Somewhat refreshingly, but our sparks were properly flying.
The people around me started making a lot of fuss, and Elder Sis Tsukshi was muttering things like ¡°I have hope...¡±. Yes, let¡¯s find out what happens if we really go for the win.
And.....
¡°Oh, I have a request! Of you!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Mortriage that seemed to have decided something to do with me...
¡°With you... can I train too? I also...... I want to be stronger!¡±
¡°No way¡±
I was asked to do something that didn¡¯t make sense, but I refused, and I decided to restart my training for the next three months.
¡°O, Ora, wait a minute! I¡¯ll ask you to! Me too... I was struck in the heart by your bravery to fight with the strongest Machio! I¡¯m asking! Let me train with you, too!¡±
¡°...... Me as well...... I want to change myself! I want to be confident in myself!¡±
¡°Please! We can¡¯t end it like this! We¡¯re also... frustrated! We¡¯re also human!¡±
Well, for the time being, let¡¯s do some muscle training.
Chapter 105 – The Right Way
Chapter 105 ¨C The Right Way
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºHold the dumb-bell between the big toe and long toe of your foot and lift.¡»
¡°...... ha?¡±
Do I train my arms? Do I train my legs? My menu, as I was wondering what I would do, was my toes.
Why? I was motivated to do the normal bench press?!
¡ºToday, you have done Max Measurements, Magical Parkour, Magical Jumping Ropes, and even sparring. Bench presses and squats would be counterproductive at this point. Today, I shall teach you a few things as you train.¡»
I certainly moved my entire body quite a bit today.
I understood Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion that doing muscle training in this situation would only be tiring.
But why the toes?
¡ºChild, yours is a fighting style that uses your feet like earlier. However, the characteristics of the foot which is also your weapon... tis not simply ¡®foot speed¡¯ that disrupts the opponent¡¯s reaction with sharp steps and feints, tis ¡®the strength and speed of the turn¡¯.¡»
I¡¯m not sure I get it. Foot speed? Turn? What¡¯s the difference?
¡ºFoot speed is basically linear speed. But how many linear dashes do you use in actual battle? Perhaps for slow opponents like Aka or Machio, but it would be difficult to jump into the pocket with a simple straight dash against speedier opponents like Bro or Toulowe, would it not?¡»
¡¸That is... I guess so...¡¹
Certainly, when I tried to toss my opponent at speed in a fight, I had the image of taking steps rather than running.
¡ºTherefore, the big toe is paramount. Grab the ground with your big toe, store it up and jump in one go... for stop-and-go and left and right weight transfer, the toes... especially your big toe is important. In other words, if you train them, each movement will be even faster. And tis not only about the feet, but also the punches.¡»
¡¸Eh? ...... No, I understand that toes are important in steps and footwork, but... also for punching?¡¹
¡ºTis so. As I mentioned, if the toes are well trained, they can smoothly shift your weight back and forth and from side to side, so you can maintain a good bnce and release a hard hit from any posture, and when you step in by kicking the ground hard, the force is firmly nted on the big toe, is it not?¡»
¡¸...... Certainly...¡¹
¡ºYou have already done so to some extent without being told. But from now on, put more effort into your big toes, train them, and be conscious of them.¡»
I see... so I should put a dumbbell between my toes and train...
¡°Hey, what has he been doing in front of the mirror?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t he hold the dumbbells?¡±
¡°He¡¯s thinking about it, but doesn¡¯t know how to use it, right?¡±
Oops. So much for the conversation in my mind, it¡¯s about time I got started.
¡¸With my toes... I wonder if I can?¡¹
¡ºThis should be a daily routine. When there are no dumbbells, you can substitute an empty wine bottle instead. Always have the image of ¡®grasping hard¡¯ with your toes.¡»
Dumbbells in front of the mirror.
I stretch out my arms and stand on one leg, straighten my spine in front of the mirror and lift the dumbbell at my feet between my big toe and long toe.
¡°Nu, Uo, Gu, Nu, Yu, toes, eh, t, tearing ... Gu!¡±
¡ºDo not simply carry it. Hold it and raise your knee at a right angle.¡»
¡°Fugu, nu, gu, nu ...¡±
My toes were about toe off! The thought crosses my mind that I might dislocate it if I¡¯m a little bit careless.
And from the perspective of others, this looks like a pretty weird workout.
¡°Ohe on, doesn¡¯t he know how to use dumbbells?¡±
¡°That¡¯s sort of amazing though.¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t somebody teach him if that¡¯s the case?¡±
¡°But he was saying something about doing it in his own way... or, that¡¯s amazing despite how it looks...¡±
I could hear giggles and ridicule from around me.
¡°Hey, Amae... is it true, did he have a good match against Mr. Machio~....?¡±
¡°Un¡±
¡°Really~?¡±
¡°Un. It was a little... cool...¡±
¡°... Ugh ... my wish ... please ... please ...¡±
And although there was no sign of flirtation at first nce, Elder Sis Tsukshi seemed to wish for my victory instead of Mr. Machio. She had a mysterious attitude of ¡°I¡¯d rather you didn¡¯t win because I like you, Mr. Machio¡±, so I¡¯m worried about the situation.
Certainly it¡¯s embarrassing to think that you¡¯re using it wrong, but.... I¡¯ll find out what happens if I win....
¡ºGood start. Tis not the wrong way to use it, but a different way to use it.¡»
¡¸Eh, i, is that any different?¡¹
¡ºTis very different. In the first ce, there is nothing wrong in doing things the right way. But if you only do it the right way, will you ever get to the top?¡»
¡¸Th, that¡¯s...¡¹
¡ºThe answer is no. Only a handful of people can stand on top. Tis also limited to those who have talent superior to others, such as Machio. Therefore, the untalented person can merely approach the top but not exceed the top by only doing things the right way.¡»
While listening to words of Tre¡¯ainar beside me that I shouldn¡¯t worry about the eyes around me, I chuckled, thinking, ¡°It¡¯s not what you say, it¡¯s how you say it.¡±
Well, in short, it¡¯s not enough to do the same thing as others, so I kept on going.
¡ºFor this reason... not within other people.... look at yourself.... for you desire to change of yourself... so it appears.¡»
¡°Nu...¡±
When I heard Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words with a slight grin, I turned back a little.
¡°Ku, this is tough.¡±
¡°Uooooh, w, will we get stronger with this?¡±
¡°Ca, can¡¯t even hold it!¡±
¡°I wish it was lighter.¡±
The boys of the magic school.
They said they wanted to train with me, but I didn¡¯t have time for them and I was too busy with myself.
So I declined.
The next thing I knew, those guys were behind me, doing the same thing I did.
¡°............ Hey.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±...... Hmm?¡±¡±¡±¡±
At first I wanted to ignore it, and then I thought they could do whatever they wanted, but... no good...... I¡¯d feel bothered.
¡°The thing is... I¡¯m just doing it the way that suits me... it doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯ll be any stronger if you do the same thing, right?¡±
So even if it makes sense for me, it may not make sense for them.
¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the High Priestess or another instructor? This is a dojo, and even if you¡¯re a student of the magic school, they¡¯ll teach you properly, right?¡±
They want to train with me.
That¡¯s what they said, but I told them to ask the dojo guys for guidance rather than do training that may or may not make sense to them.
But these guys...
¡°Certainly... that may be right... I agree, too. But...... it¡¯s just a gut feeling.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°...... you know, to us... that Mr. Machio, and... even that Yosei, you may be a man who knows a world we all don¡¯t know.¡±
Mortriage¡¯s words... were correct in a sense.
For those who have spent all their time in a secluded nation, I¡¯m from the outside world, and I¡¯m different.
¡°That¡¯s why... if we¡¯re chasing your back, we might be able to see a different view of the world... if we see that world... maybe even more... we could change... that¡¯s what I thought.¡±
For the time being...... I think I¡¯m being praised. But I didn¡¯t think they¡¯d be rewarded just by chasing me...
¡ºHmm...... I see... if so...... you might as well ¡®take advantage¡¯ of it...¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar muttered beside me as I was wondering what to do....
¡ºOi, child. I believe this is also training... why not try it?¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡ºWhy not try training with these ones for a bit?¡»
...... Why?

Chapter 106 ¨C Bringing Others Along
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Jeez!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±?¡±¡±¡±¡±
This wasn¡¯t a joke, I objected to Tre¡¯ainar in my mind.
I¡¯m going to thoroughly train for the next three months.
Hence, I want to focus on just that.
I don¡¯t have time to take care of anyone else.
¡ºI do not mean constant supervision, nor am I saying to mirthfully link hands in a row with everyone. I simply ask if you would toil together.¡»
¡¸So why! I mean, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t sympathize with these guys after hearing their story... even so, why for these guys... in a row?¡¹
¡ºTis not simply for their sake. I believe it will all be to your benefit as well.... Never mind the rows...¡»
¡¸......?¡¹
I didn¡¯t understand what Tre¡¯ainar was saying.
Why would it be good for me to train with them?
¡ºChild... what are the benefits of rigorously training with others?¡»
¡¸Eh? ...... with other people... let¡¯s see... topete... right?¡¹
¡ºFufu, well, tis a fair point, but... the benefits of training with others is... ¡®incentive¡¯.¡»
Incentive. The first thing that came to mind when I heard that was...
¡¸Incentive...? So, you mean topete and encourage each other? With these guys? But their abilities might be...¡¹
¡ºEven withoutpeting, they may incentivize you.¡»
¡¸?¡¹
Even if you don¡¯tpete, it can be incentivizing... I didn¡¯t really get it, and when I tilted my head, Mortriage tilted his head to me as I silently stood there for a while.
¡°Hey? What¡¯s wrong? That...... are you so opposed to it that you¡¯re left speechless?¡±
¡°O, Ora, we¡¯re begging you, please. We... we won¡¯t get in the way.¡±
Oops, what should I do... I haven¡¯t even finished talking about it yet...
¡ºAnyway, do some Magical Roadwork. I shall teach while you run.¡»
¡¸...... jeez... fiiiine...¡¹
For now, I decided to follow his suggestion since he said he would teach me while I ran.
Honestly, I¡¯d rather run alone, but...well...
¡°Let¡¯s go for a run ¡°
¡°¡±¡±¡±............¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°You may as well follow me, if you want.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh!? Let¡¯s go!¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, it seemed that they would really follow.
But, can these guys even keep up with me...?
¡ºChild. Next to dumbbells, those are Magical Power Ankles and Magical Power Wrists. Equip them on yourself as a handicap.¡»
And a handicap to ount for it. I was forced to put weights on my wrists and ankles... I mean... Heavy!?
¡°Do you want us to put those weights on too...¡±
¡°No, you guys don¡¯t have to! Actually, listen? Don¡¯t you put it on.¡±
I mean, there was no point in you equipping them as well if my intention was to give a handicap.
And then......
¡°Un, you running?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
When I was about to go out with the weights wrapped around my wrists and ankles, Amae came running up to me.
¡°...... I guess so...... well.¡±
¡°...... Un¡±
When I answered, Amae nodded and for some reason reached her hands out to me.
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Un!¡±
I wasn¡¯t sure what that meant, but when a young child does this it¡¯s like asking for a hug...
¡°No way... y, you too?¡±
¡°Un. Let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°............... wh, at?¡±
¡°Piggyback¡±
Seemed she enjoyed the first Magical Parkour so much that she insisted on me giving a piggyback again.
¡°No, oh, I¡¯m training...¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go. Piggyback!¡±
¡°Well, it¡¯s Roadwork, so... I need to use both hands while running for shadows and stuff! That¡¯s why I can¡¯t piggyback!¡±
¡°Nu uh! Piggyback!¡±
It¡¯s not a joke. Even just taking Mortriage¡¯s group, and even with my arms and legs weighted down, from there it would be too hard to also give a little girl a piggyback ride.
However, Amae¡¯s sentiments would not give up,
¡°Mu~ ~ ~ ~, piggyback!¡±
With her cheek puffing, she grabbed my clothes and resisted, refusing to let go until I nodded.
¡°Uwa~, t, too cute. Kofu~¡±
¡°Budeo... be quiet... the moment you said that out loud, even we thought you seemed like a criminal. Have some self-awareness.¡±
Looking at Amae¡¯s behavior next to me, Budeo and Mobner were having a slightly deplorable exchange, but I¡¯ll not put a retort in.
For the time being, the problem is this kid...
¡°Hey! Amae, don¡¯t you bother him!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Then, at that time, Elder Sis Tsukshi rushed over, and scolded Amae for acting selfishly.
¡°Big brother has to train now. You¡¯re being unreasonable while he¡¯s doing his best, anyway... or he¡¯s working hard to win the tournament and fulfill his promise to Mr. Machio, so don¡¯t be a nuisance, okay?¡±
¡°But...¡±
¡°No buts~!¡±
This was exactly what an older sister scolding a younger sister looked like.
However, Amae turned away in a sudden bad mood.
¡°No! I want piggyback.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you a piggyback rideter!¡±
¡°...... no..... I like him.¡±
Amae gradually grew timid and despondent.
Naturally, I felt a little sorry for her... No, no, but, I¡¯m training... wait, she likes who?
¡°Come now, Tsukshi... it looks like Amae got a brother, so she¡¯s happy, right? You don¡¯t have to be so angry...¡±
Then, Machio came up to appease the Tsukshi, but Tsukshi wouldn¡¯t give up.
¡°Mr. Machio, with Amae... incidentally, I heard from Karui that you always pamper her too much!¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s not...¡±
¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t think she should interfere with his training.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true, but...¡±
However, Mr. Machio was also defeated.
Somehow, rather than an older sister, she¡¯s more like a maturedy scolding a father for spoiling his selfish daughter...
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Get married¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, when the voices of me and Mortriage¡¯s group ovepped as we muttered loudly.
¡°Amae, I¡¯ll take you on my shoulders.¡±
¡°No. Uncle, slow.¡±
¡°Nu... uh...¡±
¡°With him, feuuuuw~, then whish whosh, and bonce jump, then go round and round and like zig zag! It¡¯s fun! I like him!¡±
And even though Mr. Machio was being considerate, the selfish girl wouldn¡¯t listen, and finally clung to my leg... Hey, when did we get along this far?
¡º...... My oh my...... are you not popr, child.¡»
¡¸No. Although, when I was in the Empire, I was so unwee, buttely I¡¯m doing well... is this my popr phase?¡¹
¡º..................¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡º...... never mind.¡»
She was hiding a lot this morning, but I just gave her a little piggyback and she¡¯s attached to me.
Or rather, they say children are truly simple-minded, well... but still, I can¡¯t bring her with...
¡ºIt cannot be helped. Take her along, child.¡»
¡¸...... what? Hey, what are you... well, as I said earlier, I don¡¯t have time for this!¡¹
¡ºYou may consider her the same as a weight, like on your wrist.¡»
¡¸No, no, still if I give a piggyback, I my hands won¡¯t be free during roadwork, so shadows...¡¹
¡ºIf so¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
Tre¡¯ainar gave a suggestion. And, Tsukshi pulled Amae, who clung tightly to my leg, and trying not to leave.
¡°Amae! Will you listen to what I say!¡±
¡°Noo! Wooont!¡±
It¡¯s already getting a little more troublesome.
So I want to put an end to the conflict...
¡°Er, Amae¡±
¡°Un? Ah...¡±
I picked up Amae who was being pulled by Tsukshi, lifted her up, and ced her... on my shoulder...
¡°I can¡¯t give a piggyback because I need to use both hands, but is this okay?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Yes, it¡¯s a shoulder ride.
¡°Hey... hold on, you!¡±
¡°Hoh~...¡±
Yes, if I can¡¯t use both hands while giving a piggyback, I can give a shoulder ride. With Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s proposal, Machio smiled at a surprised Tsukshi.
And.....
¡°Fah... ah... so high...¡±.
¡°...... Then you want to get off?¡±
¡°Uun un!¡±
When she heard that, Amae, who was on my shoulders, panicked and threw her hands around my head and hugged me.
Well, I can use both hands like this...
¡ºWell, I was also going to have you try something like this as you train with them. While maintaining a firm axis and bnce so as not to drop the one you are carrying, run with firm legs and waist... this will strengthen your core. As I exined earlier with the toes, be conscious and train them.¡»
Now I¡¯m going to do some Roadwork with weights on my hands and feet and shoulders... Huh? I was told today would be light, but isn¡¯t this pretty hard?
¡°Hey, you... i, is it okay~...?¡±
¡°Hmm? Because it can¡¯t be helped...¡±
¡°Haha, I¡¯m really sorry... oh, but as an apology, how about Big Sis splurges on whatever you want for dinner tonight~?¡±
Tsukshi said to me with an apologetic expression, as she looked at Amae going ¡°Mufu~?¡± on my head, and sighs.
¡°Good for you, Amae.¡±
¡°Un!¡±
And then, Mr. Macho gave a tender smile to that Amae, such a straight dad.
¡°All right, then, let¡¯s go! Magical Roadwork!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
And so, much to my annoyance, I set out on my roadwork with four guys and a little girl.
Thinking about it, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve done this with anyone other than Tre¡¯ainar... at the Academy, we get paired up with others in the curriculum... well, I only ever paired up with the princess... she always said annoying things like, ¡°I¡¯ll sacrifice myself because it can¡¯t be helped¡±. They better not try that stuff with me...
Well, it doesn¡¯t matter, at least it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve taken the lead and run with someone like this... not since I was a kid.
When I was a kid... let¡¯s see...... at that time, I didn¡¯t have aplex with everyone yet... I didn¡¯t think of the princess as a thorn in my side... and I didn¡¯t doubt that Rebal... and Fu ... were my lifelong friends, but...

Just putting weights on both hands and feet felt different from usual. In addition, with a little girl ced on my shoulder, it¡¯s on a whole other level.
Normally, there wouldn¡¯t be a problem carrying a child as small as Amae.
That¡¯s why, I didn¡¯t have much of a problem when I first started my roadwork.
However, I soon felt the weight. Furthermore¡¡
¡°Ooh~. More, weee, take it! So gooood.¡±
¡°Gu, Nuh¡±
As she rode my shoulder, the bnce shifted randomly, like when she hit my head, pulled at my hair, and tilted her weight back and forth, side to side.
It¡¯s pretty difficult to run while trying not to drop her.
Bnce and legs. Certainly this may be a good workout.
¡°Fuu, ha, fuu, amazing¡¡±
¡°Aah. He¡¯s wearing so much, has a kid on his shoulder and still running ahead of us.¡±
Well, even though I had a handicap, these guys were still following behind me.
However, it was from this point that they will get shaken off.
¡ºCome on, dash! 30 seconds!¡»
After a short distance outside the city, the road opened to reach a sandy beach outside the ind.
The sandy beach, which stretched on forever, I could see the beautiful scenery with no trash and the endless ocean.
I couldn¡¯t see any other inds on the sea, and the moment I felt deeply moved by this ind that was truly an isted ind nation, Tre¡¯ainar gave me instructions.
¡°Right, dash 30 seconds!¡±
I also raise my voice to convey it to the guys behind me.
I mean, I can¡¯t worry about them indefinitely. I have to do things my way.
¡°Gu, we¡¯re sprinting from here!?¡±
¡°Oraaaa! You¡¯re going to lose!¡±
¡°Hi, ha, hi, ha.¡±
¡°I, it¡¯s hard!¡±
Dash for 30 seconds. A run on the sandy beach. My feet get sunk so I can¡¯t step in as powerfully as usual!
This is tough for me too¡ exactly, the toes like he mentioned earlier¡the ¡®Big toe¡¯ was being trained.
¡ºRight, stop! Ten second interval for shadows.¡»
¡°Now, shadow¡ Imagine a virtual enemy on the spot and punch!¡±
¡°Pu, punch? Like this!¡±
¡°O, Ora! Ora, Ora!¡±
¡°Wow, it¡¯s fast¡ I can¡¯t see his hands, it¡¯s beautiful¡¡±
¡°Ze, ha, ze, ou¡¡±
¡ºTen seconds have passed! Dash!¡»
¡°Dash!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eh, a, already!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
With the weights, I work on my legs, feet and bnce, and then work out my big toe on the sandy beach¡ this works¡ if you do it every day, you¡¯ll get quite a workout¡ that said, I¡¯m finding it demanding to this extent, so the other guys¡
¡°Ha, ha, ha¡ ts¡¡±
Mortriage still followed, although he spoke less.
Though he has a normal physique, his motor nerves were good.
He felt like an honor student who has been raised in a good environment.
As far as shadow is concerned, he punches very carefully.
I felt like he¡¯s performing the basics in the martial art I was taught at school.
¡°Ora, can¡¯t lose! Urah, Urah, Oraaaa!¡±
Oratski was still quite loud.
Because he wore out so soon, he probably doesn¡¯t have that much endurance, but he kept up with me through sheer guts.
His physique is quite good, and he seemed to have some power.
He¡¯s not serious at school, but felt like a battle junkie rascal.
As far as shadow is concerned, his punches were crude with big swings.
However, if the form is improved a little, he¡¯ll be pretty good.
¡°Hii, haa, hii ¡¡±
Mobner wasgging behind the other two, but still trying to keep up.
Speed, strength, physique, power, it¡¯s all normal.
Anyway, he¡¯s normal¡ yes, that¡¯s it, normal.
¡°Uoeeeee, e, enough, can¡¯t, hard, u, uoeeeeee¡±
He couldn¡¯t keep up with them from the start, and was spraying out of his mouth to the ocean.
That was out of the question in many ways.
The bulkiest of the four.
But that doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯s powerful, he¡¯s just obese, Budeo.
¡°Hey¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡ now, where¡¯s the incentive?¡±
Even though it¡¯s only the first day, wouldn¡¯t he be screened out with this?
Well, then I can focus on myself¡
¡°Come on, Budeo, let¡¯s go for it. He¡¯s wearing such heavy stuff, so it¡¯ll be embarrassing if we can¡¯t keep up with this much.¡±
¡°B, but, I¡¯m, follow, u, ugh, h, hard¡¡±
¡°But we¡¯re going to change, right?¡±
In the end, Budeo stopped and looked down on the spot.
Mobner also rushed up and called out, but he couldn¡¯t move.
¡°Budeo, don¡¯t stop! If we don¡¯t work hard here and now, we¡¯ll stay the same forever!¡±
¡°Ora! Budeo! All right, this is it! Show some guts!¡±
Mortriage and Oratski frantically appealed to him, but Budeo shook his head.
¡°N, no good, no no, utterly useless! After all¡ I¡¯ve been a loser since I was born! Just existing, I¡¯m uncool, unpleasant, and girls see me as garbage¡ no one likes me, no one expects anything from me¡ as guys like Jos¨¦ who are born with talent get fawned over, you can only watch, hii, t, that¡¯s, a, all you can do!¡±
Finally, he stopped and started crying¡¡ no¡.. it¡¯s been awhile since he started¡ what should I do? Am I going to leave him now?
¡°¡¡ Hey! Crying won¡¯t help you do anything about it! So, bring out those feelings as you look back at that bastard and those bitches!¡±
For the time being, I¡¯ll try calling out too.
And if he doesn¡¯t stand up with this, I¡¯ll really¡¡
¡°Budeo¡ fight on!¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
That was when it happened.
Perhaps because everyone was calling out, or maybe that¡¯s the way it was going, Amae also cheered Budeo from on top of my shoulder.
Thereupon, was that it?
¡°Ah, Amae¡¡±
¡°Oh, fight on. go go you can do it, Budeo~, Fight OONN¡±
¡°Eh!? Oh, li, little Amae, ch, cheering m, me, f, for you¡ O, OOOOOOOOHH.¡±
His eyes, which had been crying, were wide open, and his mouth, which had only spat out the sounds of whining and weakness, was strongly tightened.
Whipping both feet, Budeo stood up and stared forward.
¡°Uooooooo, I¡¯m burning, I¡¯m fired up, Burn these tears awaaaaaaaaaayyy! An angel cheered me on!¡±
Budeo dashed with absurd power as if from the scene of a fire.
He had already forgotten the seconds for the shadow and the dash, and just dashed anyway.
¡°Hey, hey¡¡±
¡°Oh, Budeo, you¡¯re fast ¡°
A girl¡¡ perhaps empowered by her cheering, Budeo started running.
¡°Hahahaha¡ All right, we can¡¯t lose too!¡±
¡°Ora, it¡¯s us! It¡¯s us after all!¡±
¡°W, wait! Me too¡¡ me too!¡±
And if the dropout showed his guts and tried to go beyond his limit, they must have felt something too.
¡°Oh, everyone, fight on too.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Got it!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Mortriage and others also seemed to have found their voice and energy, saying ¡°We can still do it¡±.
¡°Fufufu, not just Budeo¡ I¡¯m happy with this.¡±
¡°Ah. I didn¡¯t think there were people in the world that would support us anymore¡¡±
¡°Yes¡ I¡¯m d¡ somehow, my power is zing¡¡±
Even though it was a young child, there was someone to genuinely ¡°support¡± them.
They¡¯re happy with that alone¡ and felt empowered¡ somehow, that feeling¡ I felt like I understood.
¡°Jeez¡ such simple guys¡¡±
¡ºAh. Tis no different than when you put great efforts for the sake of your maid¡¯s bosom¡¡»
¡°Nu!?¡±
As I was dumbfounded, Tre¡¯ainar smiled at me and threw a retort.
¡ºThe motives for your efforts are impure. Rather, the reason is simple. The more honest people are¡ the more dedicated¡ do you remember me saying that shortly after we met?¡»
Dedication ¡?
¡ºChild. In the first ce, do you intend to climb high enough just to look down on others?¡»
¡°That¡¯s¡¡±
I¡¯m training as Tre¡¯ainar told me to, and I¡¯m not thinking of cking off.
But, I certainly don¡¯t snort like that, I¡¯ve only been doing what I¡¯ve been toldtely.
In the first ce, there are people in this country who have more power than me, who are faster than me, and who are more talented than me¡ alright!
¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s hard! Train and train¡ Imagine yourself looking back at both that bastard and the bitch saying, ¡®Have a look at this, you bastard?¡¯ Then, you¡¯ll still be able to run!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ouh!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Oh, fight on!¡±
¡ºFuhahaha, well, the simplest one here is you¡ child¡¡ but if intend to be a big man eventually¡ not simply one person, you would have to also attract the people around you, lead others, and sometimes even inspire others¡¡»
Such a burden is bothersome. If it doesn¡¯t work out, I will leave them behind. I should have thought that way, but I was gradually speaking up more.
¡ºNow¡ there is no issue with training. The policy has also been decided. However, if you can spend three months on special training¡ ultimately, I would like something that can dramatically improve your level¡¡»
While looking at us running, Tre¡¯ainar folded his arms as if he was considering something.
¡ºHmm¡should I have you learn ¡®giga-ss magic¡¯¡ or perhaps ¡®summoning magic¡¯¡ no, but what do you contract with¡ naturally ¡®The Dragon King of Purgatory¡¯ would be too heavy a burden¡ no, in the first ce, the magic power capacity of the child is ¡¡»
Then after closing his eyes once, he opened them again as if he hade to a decision¡
¡ºWell, first of all¡ tis ¡®magic breath¡¯¡ to enable longer breakthroughs¡¡»
It seemed something was decided before I knew it.
Author¡¯s Note
Recently, to get reference material for the novel, I¡¯ve been reading boxing manga and anime about a certain fishing boat owner¡¯s son, and I spent August crying when I saw the story of a ghost with a childhood friend in summer¡ The month is over ¡ September ising soon.
And then I realized¡.
Today was my Birthday¡ (2019/08/27)
Chapter 108 – Troublesome
Chapter 108 ¨C Troublesome
Tranted by: Sads07
My calf was bursting. My thighs are tired too.
On the first day, I guess I was too enthusiastic.
¡°Fu~¡ I had a good sweat.¡±
I took off my shirt, wiped my sweat while exposing my upper body, and when I looked back, I saw many dead bodies.
¡°Hah~, ze, ze, ze, l, like this¡it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve run like this¡¡±
¡°O, ora, but we¡¯ve done it,e on!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ I¡¯m gonna die.¡±
¡°Nu~un¡¡±
All of them were lying on the sandy beach, either face down or on their backs.
Mobner and Budeo seemed to have lost their voices.
However, one thing or another, somehow they ran.
¡°Hey, don¡¯t suddenly stop and lie down. We need to cool down slowly.¡±
Well, I¡¯m so exhausted that I can¡¯t even exercise to cool down.
¡ºHmm, my Goodness¡ is the child acting like a teacher?¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Naturally, my knowledge was secondhand from Tre¡¯ainar, so if you point it out, it makes me feel ufortable, so ignore it.
¡°Un, water, here.¡±
Then, Amae, who had gotten off my shoulder during the break, dragged a bucket of water she must have drawn from somewhere.
The moment the four dead guys saw it, they flew at the bucket with their eyes shining, and they all passed it around and drank it.
¡°Puaaaahhh, I, I¡¯vee back to life!¡±
¡°Ora¡ Hah, hah¡ Wow! I¡¯ve never felt water so good in my life¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m crying¡ Somehow, tears are falling¡¡±
¡°Buhii, kofu, gogu¡ uh, Amae is a really good girl.¡±
The sweetness of water at the end of the training. I understand. I know that feeling.
¡°Right¡ Un¡¡±
¡°¡¡Hmm?¡±
And, Amae, with a ¡°smug¡± expression, puffed up with pride at me. Then she stretched out on her toes a little, and presented her head to me.
¡°Un!¡±
There is only one way to handle this¡
¡°Thanks. You¡¯re so good, admirable.¡±
¡°Mufuu!¡±
I praised and patted her. And, it seemed to be the right choice, Amaeughed with satisfaction.
And I thought about the future while letting the water of life permeate all over my body and feeling a revival.
¡°Well, you guys¡ just listen up, I want to ask you something.¡±
The four guys drinking water, adjusted their breaths, and rested their bodies.
They¡¯ve been following me for some time now, and I somewhat epted it and let them do as they like.
However, now that I¡¯ve got that out of the way, I have to figure out what to do in the future.
¡°You guys, I understand you want to train because you want to change¡ but as I said earlier, if you¡¯re training the same as me, you should also identify your own individual traits, right?¡±
Even if you are influenced by someone and try to imitate them, it may not suit you.
I was like that.
I admired my father, chased after him, and picked up a magic sword.
However, when I met Tre¡¯ainar and he decided to guide me, it led to something that better suited me, and I realized that I had be stronger.
¡°What are you guys good at?¡±
¡ºMy goodness¡ attempting to get people to match what suits their personality¡ tis like just someone else¡¯s coaching policy¡ let me see, who could it be?¡»
No, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to teach them. I¡¯m just listening.
On top of that, it¡¯s these guys who think about what to do.
So listen. What suits your personality?
However, when they heard it, these guys had indescribable expressions, thought, and respectively gave answers which they were confident with.
¡°I¡ had pride in my attack magic¡ before, but not as good as Jos¨¦¡¡±
¡°I¡ help out at home chopping wood¡ an axe¡ but before Jos¨¦¡¯s power¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not satisfactory at anything, I¡¯m not¡ like Jos¨¦ who¡¯s good at everything¡¡±
¡°I can eat as much sweets as I want¡ although I¡¯ve never eaten the homemade treats from the school girls that Jos¨¦ always eats.¡±
When it came to this, I thought that it had nothing to do with my training and almost put it into words, but I held back.
I¡¯m not so demonic as to say, ¡°Well, all of today¡¯s content is meaningless to you.¡±
¡°Aaah¡ what should I do¡¡±
Maybe, can I help you anymore?
While scratching my head, I looked at the ocean in front of me.
Thinking about it, it¡¯s been a long time since I came to the sea.
I was so absorbed in training, but when I took a break and looked at it¡ I wondered¡¡ my body was already covered in sweat and sand¡ so, without worrying about anything¡
¡°¡¡ hmm~ ¡ right! Uorryaaaaaah!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
I dove straight into the sea.
The water was salty, it got in my eyes, but it was cold, and I didn¡¯t care about the details, so I wanted to be refreshed for the time being.
¡°Tahahaha¡ to the sea¡¡±
Then, Mortriage and the others who were a little surprised at my sudden action¡
¡°¡ hahaha ¡¡±
¡°Ora!¡±
¡°Me too!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going in!¡±
All four of them took off their sweaty tops and jumped into the sea.
¡°Haha, it feels good¡ I didn¡¯t know¡ the water is so delicious¡ the sea feels so good¡¡±
¡°Ora! Dahahahaha!¡±
¡°U~¡¡ I coulde here at any time¡ I feel like I haven¡¯t been in the sea for a long time¡¡±
¡°Puha, m, me, now that you mentioned it, I couldn¡¯t swim when I was a kid, and since then I¡¯ve been in the ocean ¡ oh ¡ I¡¯m floating ¡¡±
The cold water sshed up and I realized that my worries were gone¡ it was refreshing¡ I had fun.
That¡¯s why I decided to think a little bit about it and not rush to answer.
¡°Well¡¡ just now¡ I¡¯m sorry for the question¡ unexpectedly¡¡ I didn¡¯t know¡ about myself.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°What I thought I was good at, I didn¡¯t really have the talent for¡ thinking about it, I was really talented in a field I hadn¡¯t even thought of¡ I didn¡¯t really know about myself.¡±
Seeing the guys who had smiling expressions on their exhausted faces, I got a little shy, but carried on my little narration.
Yes, I just asked them what they¡¯re good at, but I don¡¯t know if what they think they¡¯re good at in the first ce was really their talent or personality.
¡°You guys¡ when we get back to the dojo, I¡¯ll spar you a little bit. I¡¯ll take a look at you in my way.¡±
I thought I was good at magic swords, but Tre¡¯ainar told me otherwise¡
¡°Well, I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s really going to go beyond that insensitive deaf bastard¡ well, if you¡¯re going to do your best, I¡¯ll see what I can do¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh! So, please do!¡±¡±¡±¡±
So, in fact, you have to look directly at it.
Are you okay with that? Before I heard that, the four nodded happily, and, well, I decided to go out with them a little more.
¡ºOi, did you not say it would be troublesome or you had your hands full with yourself?¡»
¡¸Shut it. Things just ended up this way¡ besides¡¡ well ¡¡ these guys, they¡¯re clinging somewhat to the thought of changing¡ I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to understand why¡¡¹
I naturally responded to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
Yes, somehow I understood how they felt.
I felt that the way they were rotting because they were troubled by the wall called Jos¨¦ ovepped with theplex feelings I once had for the princess, Rebal and Fu.
¡¸They¡¯re doing their best¡ I can¡¯t ignore that¡¡¹
¡ºHoh~¡ is that so¡»
Whether he thought I was ¡°Overly optimistic¡± or not, Tre¡¯ainar, a little taken aback,ughed.
And¡..
¡°Un! Unsho! Unsho!¡±
And maybe she was envious after seeing us in the ocean, Amae also had a one-piece sister outfit¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±Don¡¯t do that!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Unhoh~! Amae was taking it off!¡±
¡°Un?¡±
Before she takes off her clothes, we all together¡ except for one person, stopped Amae.
Or, I¡¯m sure that one of the girls was already right in her assessment.
¡°Geez, ady shouldn¡¯t undress.¡±
¡°¡¡? ¡¡ Only Amae¡ left out?¡±
¡°¡¡ No, I didn¡¯t ¡¡ mean that¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Mu~¡¡±.
The men alone took off their tops, jumped into the sea, and made a pleasant ssh.
Could a child stay silent when they see it? No, no.
Far from jumping in, she was not allowed to undress.
It may be reasonable for her to get sulky, but¡
¡°Look, next time. Bring your bathing suit next time.¡±
¡°¡¡ next time? When? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?¡±
¡°¡¡ Well, soon. I mean, the sea is so close.¡±
¡°¡¡ Promise? For sure? It¡¯s not a lie?¡±
¡°Uh huh, yeah yeah, I promise I promise.¡±
¡°Can we alle together? Big sister, Uncle, Karui, High Priestess and Goddess.¡±
¡°Ah~,e on, I get it I get it, I promise¡ tsu, Jam¡ High Priestess? Hmm? Goddess¡?¡±
I was very careful not to make her cry, and I honestly thought it was troublesome, but I casually made a promise.
Then she managed to endure it, and her cheeks puffed a little, and she said ¡®Muh~¡¯, but she didn¡¯t cry.
¡ºFufufufu¡»
¡¸¡¡ what¡¡¹
Then, Tre¡¯ainar, who had been watching the whole thing without saying much, started giggling
¡ºThis girl, and these fellows¡ the child seems good at taking care of them, regardless of what was said. Well, I believe tis why you can make yourself understood by Ogres and Hoodlums¡¡»
¡¸Nu¡¡ what¡¡ are youplimenting me ¡¡¹
¡ºWell, I do not speak ill of you. Besides, in my training n, I was thinking not only to train with others, but also have the child gain experience in teaching others¡ to learn what a leader could learn.¡»
¡¸Eh? Is that right?¡¹
¡ºWell. So you ought to give it a try.¡»
¡¸No, but I just thought I¡¯d look at them in my way, not give some guidance¡ as far as leading them¡ and what if my method is wrong¡¡¹
¡ºWorry not. I shall give counsel as needed. Do not think I would let the child suddenly do everything from start to finish, so be at ease.¡»
Tre¡¯ainarughs at me like ¡°I¡¯m good at taking care of you¡±, but I¡¯m going to do my best in my heart.
¡¸You¡¯re the one who takes care of me the most!¡¹
And.
So, if I really look after them, then I must have taken after my master.
¡º¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡»
Ah, he silently faced the other way, feeling embarrassed.
¡ºI am not embarrassed!¡»
He was embarrassed.
Author¡¯s Note
I would like to thank all of you for your ¡°Congrattions¡±.
It¡¯s the first time so many people have said congrattions on my birthday.
I¡¯m d I was born!
When I noticed, I had 3,000 impressions¡ No, there were 3000 impacts! From now on, the impression is called impact.
It is the first time that I have had an impact on a single novel so far, and I am deeply moved by various emotions as well as drills.
By the way, I was born in 1986. Recently, I became a fairly ossan, since it is already easy to say ¡°Eh!? Showa?¡± but I think that an ossan is a kid who has a little bit ofmon sense and has a little more hair, and even now I still read what a boy does every week, and my heart is that of a boy. I will continue to do my best, so I¡¯d be happy if you could get along with me.
Chapter 109 – Reminded Once Again
Chapter 109 ¨C Reminded Once Again
Tranted by: Sads07
On the way back from the sea. Five half-naked, soaking wet men and a young girl walking through the middle of the town must be quite a strange sight.
However, I am already ¡°ustomed¡± to the stares of the people around me, such as ¡°dismay¡± and ¡°ridicule¡±.
So it didn¡¯t bother me when the people in the town were looking at us and whispering to each other.
¡°Sparring... mock battle... I¡¯m nervous...¡±
¡°Ora, don¡¯t freak out, we¡¯ll do it too!¡±
¡°Eh... I don¡¯t want you to get too serious...¡±
¡°Sudden mock battles are scary! Man!¡±
And, surprisingly, they didn¡¯t seem to be ashamed, not even ufortable with the situation.
Maybe these guys were ¡°ustomed¡± to a lot... I thought...... however, that was not the case.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s do it! A swimsuit battle with a date with Jos¨¦ on the line! Look at my, bi, bikini!¡±
¡°That swimsuit looks awfully weak, Chiyo. As expected, I¡¯m the one here with the goods...¡±
¡°Ugh, that¡¯s it. The time hase, for sexy!¡±
¡°I, I¡¯m not going to lose.¡±
¡°Ku, su, such an unscrupulous match... but I won¡¯t yield!¡±
At that time, the shoulder of the guys shook greatly when they heard the girls¡¯ voices.
When I looked back at the familiar voices, I saw that it was... uh ... uh ... yeah, I forgot their names already.
Five girls were making poses in front of a crowd of onlookers.
¡°Ah, way to go,dies!¡±
¡°It¡¯s already a specialty event in this town... the battle for Jos¨¦, the Wizarding School¡¯s strongest.¡±
¡°A great battle of the maidens.¡±
¡°But main star, Jos¨¦, on the whole...¡±
The townspeople also gathered at themotion, paid attention, and a crowd started to form, but honestly, the lead... as expected, is that person, it seems.
And one man was given the show while sitting in a chair in a caf¨¦. I hope he dies.
¡°I can¡¯t say who¡¯s good and who¡¯s bad, but... I think everyone looks pretty.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±ugh,e on...¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Eh, you¡¯re allowed to say that!? Why are you all dissatisfied?
Well, frankly, they¡¯re not all that bad, but... Sadiz has a body that is several times more seductive, Shinobu is more beautiful, even though she has smaller breasts... she may be a thorn in my side, but even the princess would shut them up... at least more than these five crazies.
Although......
¡°¡±¡±¡±...............¡±¡±¡±¡±
Mortriage and the others bit their lips and tried to pass behind the crowd while pretending not to see.
They seemed to have a lot of mixed feelings about it...
¡°Oops... uh, ugh!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Ah...¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Then, the dude, who was about to get up and should die, suddenly stumbled on nothing and crashed into the swimsuits d girls in front of him.
Boin, Fuyon, Mugyu. Such sounds could be heard from the collision.
The dude, who should die a brutal death, had his face and hands colliding with the girls¡¯ breasts and buttocks.
Why would that happen?
However, in this situation, no matter who they may be, any woman would have blushed red and turned hellishly furious¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°I, I¡¯m sorry, ¡®again¡¯ I...¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Uwaa~, you perv~¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
It felt so weird that I got chills. Eh? Are you used to it? Aren¡¯t you rather happy about it?
The girls¡¯ reactions were already too abnormal, it was repulsive.
¡°Sheesh, can¡¯t help yourself, you!¡±
¡°So shameless... fufufu¡±
¡°You have to take responsibility!¡±
¡°Hoh~, he touched me...¡±
¡°Really, senior is always...¡±
Maybe if Budeo did the same thing, it would be considered a criminal act.
¡°Se, senior, i, if you want, right here, like this fret fret, please hold me!¡±
¡°Eh, I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t hear you. What was that?¡±
¡°~~~tsu,e on, senior!¡±
I can confidently im it. Even if he¡¯s not a threat to me, I¡¯m groaning, drop dead already, and I¡¯m getting more and more serious about blowing this dude away.
And.....
¡°Hmm? Hey, those guys!¡±
Suddenly our eyes met, and uh, Choro bitch, I forgot who she was, screamed out.
Then, other bitches and the townspeople turned around.
¡°What are you... eh, hey, why are they naked? That¡¯s disgusting!¡±
¡°Ugh, groooss! Budeo is naked, it¡¯ll seriously rot the eyes!¡±
¡°Walking around town naked, it¡¯s crazy...¡±
¡°You, perverts... die!¡±
And then, they all at once got unpleasant... no, disgusting, perverts, no, not at all, you¡¯re all in swimsuits.
¡°You were at school... and you guys... naked... and what are you doing with that young child!¡±
And, bokoboko, the dude who should take it upon himself to go die, approached us as his eyes suddenly changed from just a while ago.
¡°No, I¡¯m not doing anything wrong. This child is...¡±
¡°Shut up!¡±
Bang, he stomped on the ground with anger... oh, no good... now is still... three months before I can hit this dude...
¡°Wait, Jos¨¦! Look, this girl... Amae came to school too...¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh......e to think of it...¡±
¡°They¡¯re with us... we went out for training, and are on our way back. That¡¯s why...¡±
Mortriage quickly tried to intervene.
And when he told them why we were doing this, the girls behind reacted.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Training?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s right...¡±
¡°Ah? Somehow, don¡¯t youin, Ora!¡±
¡°Oratsuki, calm down...¡±
¡°Come on, it¡¯s all good. Let¡¯s go quickly, what is it?
The bitches reacted to the word ¡®training¡¯. They were momentarily dumbfounded, but soon after looking to each other...
¡°Training... you guys, no way... pu, hey, hah? Until you got that dirty, you think you can beat Jos¨¦?¡±
¡°Fufufu... it¡¯s kind of... unsightly...¡±
¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯re sweaty? I mean, gross. So disgusting.¡±
¡°Mortriage, too? What¡¯s the point of trying now?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t quietly ept defeat... I don¡¯t feel any manly integrity.¡±
They were dumbfounded, thenughing... unlike the people in the town who were looking on from a distance, the bitches talked directly to them.
Mortriage and the others bowed their heads in frustration.
I was in the middle of such a scene and I involuntarily...
¡°Kukukuku, Kuhahahahahahahahahaha!!¡±
I couldn¡¯t helpughing.
¡°Wh, what¡¯s with this guy?¡±
¡°Has he gone crazy?¡±
Everyone looked surprised at my suddenughter. However, I couldn¡¯t resist it.
Because......
¡°No~, Mortriage... it¡¯s fine, you guys.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
Even if they don¡¯t like you, it wouldn¡¯t have a negative in your life... rather, it was good for you... I almost said it out loud unintentionally.
At first, I thought that women in this country were strange, but there are also some like Karui and Elder Sis Tsukshi.
So, no big deal.
Iughed at them, they were just bitches.
¡°Look, the genius and the maidens seem to be ufortable, so let¡¯s get going.¡±
With that said, I turned my back on them and tried to go back to the dojo.
¡°Hey, y, you! What¡¯s with the attitude! Somehow, making a fool of us¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°You... Chiyo and the others... youughed up your nose at my precious friends!!¡±
Don¡¯t stomp the ground again...... the dude who I want to send flying far to the horizon.
¡°Hah... again...¡±
He couldn¡¯t stand what I just said, so he went around in front of me and stomped on the ground again as if I was going to be intimidated.
Even the resentment of the angry girls was drowned out, as the man¡¯s shout overpowered the girls.
And, perhaps Mortriage and the others, perhaps understanding the difference in power, stepped back slightly.
Somehow, for him to snap just like the previous asions, such a very short-tempered guy...
¡º...... ears fail in the middle of conversation... feet stumble over empty space... short-tempered with sudden tantrums.... I see... in the end, for this fellow... tis already toote...¡»
Then, I was shocked in spite of myself, and Tre¡¯ainar muttered with a somewhat serious expression to this dude, who faced annihtion at this rate.
What? Toote? You mean he¡¯s a self-centered bastard who is too far gone to be helped anymore?
Well, it doesn¡¯t matter...
¡°I forgave it at school, but I won¡¯t forgive anyone who does the same thing again.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar? Is it all right? Can I blow this guy away?
¡º...............¡»
Tre¡¯ainar? For some reason, stayed silent... what¡¯s wrong?
With a somewhat serious look...
¡°Hmm... of course. Do forgive with thy open heart.¡±
A woman¡¯s voice resounded, putting a stop to the situation.
We were left speechless by the dignified voice as if the moment had stopped.
¡°That is not an opponent worth thy efforts. Do not bully the weak over this.¡±
There she was, a monster overflowing with a presence that seemed to dominate the ce by her words alone.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±High Priestess!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°...... High Priestess...¡±
It was a presence that surprised the entire town, and even the bitches and dude, who I wanted to hit as soon as possible, had surprised expressions.
And the High Priestess, Jamdi¡¯el, walked past me...
¡°Jos¨¦. That¡¯s enough.¡±
¡°High Priestess...¡±
I was a little surprised. These two... do they know each other...?
¡°I know not what happened, but... would it matter if thou fought an opponent who is too different in ability?¡±
¡°That¡¯s ... yes, but...¡±
¡°If there¡¯s anything thou cannotpromise on, he¡¯ll be in the tournament in three months. At that time, unleash it all and leave nothing behind.¡±
For a moment...... Jamdi¡¯el nced at me, just a moment.
In that moment her eyes sent feelings Jamdi¡¯el directed only at me.
From the sidelines, it may sound like Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words just now was a warning that ¡°a strong guy like Jos¨¦ shouldn¡¯t bully the weak¡± but I felt quite the opposite from Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s fleeting gaze.
¡º...... Ah, I see... I now understand... Jamdi¡¯el...¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar red at Jamdi¡¯el with a somewhat sullen expression.
I felt a contemptuous gaze somewhere in the eyes which looked at a formerpanion.
I didn¡¯t understand the meaning at all. What the hell, why was Tre¡¯ainar unable to stomach the current flow?
¡°I understand... High Priestess... if you say so...¡±
On the other hand, in response to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s arbitration...... yes, the dude managed to respond obediently.
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go home.¡±
¡°Jos¨¦!?¡±
¡°...... I..... I¡¯ll take everyone¡¯s anger from today... and give it to him in three months... I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll stay until he can fight me.¡±
Somehow, the dude endured his anger on this asion, red at me once with the girls, threw out the lines, and turned away.
Looking at his back, I asked Jamdi¡¯el...
¡°That guy... was he someone from the dojo?¡±
¡°Hmm? No, no He used to... just a little... kohon...... I¡¯ve been involved with him. It¡¯s that kind of acquaintance.¡±
She admitted that they were acquainted, but I was surprised.
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s word ¡°a little¡± was too simple...
¡°Is that right... but then why can¡¯t he join the dojo? He¡¯s a genius, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a reason for that. It wouldn¡¯t have a very good influence on the other students...¡±
...... that¡¯s too cold.
¡°Besides...¡±
I spontaneously felt chills.
Um, somehow the irritation I felt for the dude... the man named Jos¨¦ disappeared, as a ruthless expression floated for only a moment.
The slightest movement of her mouth. Her words were inaudible.
No one here could have known what the High Priestess said at that moment.
But from the slightest mouth movements, I read:
I
DO
NOT
NEED
THAT
ANY
MORE
I felt like she was saying that.
I didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the words.
However, after meeting Amae, Karui at the church, Elder Sis Tsukshi, Mr. Machio, the dojo guys, and Mortriage and others, I had the impression that this secluded nation wasn¡¯t so bad, and I was told, ¡°Do your best and be strong¡± and I felt invigorated. But I was reminded once again.
I¡¯m now in the palm of one of the Six Supremacy of the Demon King¡¯s army, who once tried to destroy humanity.
Chapter 110 – Hungry Spirit
Chapter 110 ¨C Hungry Spirit
Tranted by: Sads07
The church¡¯s dining hall wasrge, and there were dozens of sisters present¡. we were in such a ce.
¡°Now, Earth, I want you to eat more and more! Eat up, strengthen yourself, and do well at the tournament no matter what¡ I hope you do your best!¡±
A number of dishes were brought to the table one after another.
Fish, noodles, meat, and so on with some seasoning that was different from we have in the Empire, but I had no problems eating any at all.
Or perhaps I should say, it was appetizing.
¡°Look, not just you, Earth, I also want your friends to eat without hesitation.¡±
Taking pride in her skills, which were just as she imed, Elder Sis Tsukshi served us the meal while wearing an apron over her sister uniform, and ¡®we¡¯ devoured it greedily.
¡°Thank you. It¡¯s really tasty¡ and warm¡ I wonder if this is what home cooking is all about¡¡±
¡°Ora, this meat is mine!¡±
¡°Wa, something new¡ wa, this here, too.¡±
¡°Now, my tears can¡¯t stop! This and that are so good!¡±
In the church¡¯s dining hall, where only the sisters were allowed to step in, I and Mortriage¡¯s group were treated to dinner with the other sisters.
At first, Mortriage and the others tried to refrain from eating in the unfamiliar maiden¡¯s garden, but were unable to ovee their hunger, and lined up to eat.
The other sisters, who were about our age, were ncing at us from a distance, as if they didn¡¯t usually have much contact with young men.
However, they didn¡¯t talk to each other, and the sisters didn¡¯t look at them with contempt like bitches at the magic school, therefore it was peaceful.
And I¡
¡°Whoa~! Seriously! Inya~ I wanted to see ~, Big Brother and Mr. Machio sparring!¡±
¡°Un. It was amazing.¡±
In front of me, Karui was excitedly fussing after hearing about the incident with Machio earlier in the day¡
¡°Un. Bite, Aaah!¡±
Sticking meat on a little fork for kids and holding it out to me¡ Amae was sitting on myp.
¡°Well~, Amae. ¡®Bite¡¯, is it? Shouldn¡¯t you say, ¡®Here, Eat, Earth big brother¡¯ properly?¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡±
The moment I sat in a chair to eat at the dining hall, Amae ran and silently jumped up on myp and upied it with a ¡°Mufuu¡±.
At first she was told off for misbehaving, but she wouldn¡¯t move anywhere else, and it was too troublesome as she made a fuss and cried, so I gave up and allowed it.
However, since the way she talked could continue to influence her in the future, Elder Sis Tsukshi warned Amae to pay attention to her speech.
Then, with a start, Amae overreacted to the light sermon for some reason.
¡°¡¡ Uuu~¡¡±.
¡°Hmm? What¡¯s wrong?¡±
For some reason, Amae suddenly looked down and was mumbling. I, Elder Sis Tsukshi, and Karui tilt our heads at her state.
¡°¡¡ b¡ other¡¡±
Hah? What was that?
¡°¡¡ bi¡ br¡ ther¡¡±
¡¡ eh!?!
Soon, I felt like my whole body was struck by lightning¡ what was that?
I tried asking Amae, who was mumbling on myp with her face blushed red.
But before I could ask, Amae jumped off myp, as if she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.
And, without looking back, she ran to the dining hall exit.
¡°Amae, what was that¡ just now? Hey, I¡¯m not deaf, but I couldn¡¯t understand that much!¡±
¡°¡¡ I don¡¯t know!!¡±
No, I got what she wanted to say! I understood it, but I wanted to encourage her to say it, so I impulsively pretended not to hear, but Amae did not look back and screamed as she left the cafeteria.
¡°Haha ¡ ah~, she¡¯s embarrassed¡. but that child, apparently, seems to like you a lot. Right, Earth?¡±
¡°You two yed together. I haven¡¯t seen Amae this attached to a man since Mr. Machio.¡±
Tsukshi, Karui, and other sisters had a wry smile.
Under such warm gazes and atmosphere, I cringed a little, but at the same time, my heart felt somewhat warm and fuzzy.
¡°For some reason¡ even if the tournament started now, I feel like I could win the championship.¡±
¡°¡±So straightforward!!??¡±¡±
¡ºOi oi, child¡¡»
I was really excited, or I was a little pleased¡ that¡¯s why, I soon felt a little shy and wanted to work harder.
¡°Inya~, but Amae seems to be having fun, and is big sister feeling nervous? Well, it¡¯s always a quiet, silent dining hall, so things are little pitter-patter today.¡±
¡°Is that right?¡±
Karui had a cacklingugh as she described the current atmosphere of the dining room.
¡°See, it¡¯s usually just us girls, and except for me, who goes to school, and big sister, who trains at the dojo, the others have nothing to do with young men.¡±
¡°Erm¡ but it can¡¯t be helped. In the first ce, we have devoted our bodies and hearts to God¡¡±
¡°I know~. That¡¯s why big sister keeps her feelings for Mr. Machio in her heart¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°B-b-b, but I¡¯m sure God will forgive me because he¡¯s so generous! Hmm~! So, hmm, I think it¡¯s okay!¡±
The Sisters were dedicated to God. I suppose it¡¯s the same for this secluded country.
However, the god they worship was different.
¡°It¡¯s all right, Elder Sis Tsukshi.¡±
¡°Feh? Ah, Earth?¡±
¡°God is very good natured, caring, and he loves people who make an effort, so I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll support Elder Sis Tsukshi.¡±
¡°Huag!? E, even if, Earth, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to make fun of your Big Sis!¡±
I wasn¡¯t teasing.
Because I could talk directly to the god they worship.
¡¸Don¡¯t you agree? You would forgive them with an open mind, right? You¡¯ll give your support, right? Oh Great God?¡¹
¡º¡¡ Silence¡¡ durd¡¡»
With a wry smile at Tre¡¯ainar, who couldn¡¯t stand being treated as a god without consent, I backed up Elder Sis Tsukshi, who was flustered with her face flushed red.
¡°Well, that¡¯s right¡ there are a lot of young people in this church, and other sisters seem to be the same age as us, but why is only Karui attending the magic school?¡±
¡°Eh, ah¡ ah~, that¡¯s¡¡±
I casually asked a question while eating my meal.
However, Karui smiled a little apologetically, as if they were reasonably special circumstances involved.
Then, Elder Sis Tsukshi¡
¡°Well, that¡ we¡¯re, almost all of us, war orphans¡ our livelihoodes from church donations, but it¡¯s not like we can afford that much luxury¡ of course, not everyone¡¯s tuition can be paid¡ so, at least if only for the future of Karui, who is the second youngest, and Amae, who is the youngest¡ that¡¯s the way it is.¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi gently stroked Karui¡¯s head while smiling.
Karui let herself be fawned over by entrusting her body to Elder Sis Tsukshi while being stroked.
Well, the tuition for a magic school was quite high.
So, what about the Imperial Academy?
No¡.. it would be expensive. It¡¯s definitely high. In the first ce, aristocrats and even the princess attended it.
I went through the academy without any questions or any gratitude, but¡ the reality is that my parents paid my tuition¡ and, I ran away from home and dropped out¡.
I had some mixed feelings.
¡°Ah, that¡¯s it! Today, for the sake of the sisters, why don¡¯t we have a get-together party instead of just eating separately and ncing at each other? With Senior Mortriage and his friends!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Hey, Karui! What are you talking about!?¡±
¡°Okay, big sister has Mr. Machio, but other sisters don¡¯t have many opportunities like this.¡±
¡°B, but¡¡±
To Karui¡¯s sudden suggestion, the guy¡¯s shoulders clearly shook with a start¡ and the sisters looked like their hearts were pounding.
Although they were only peeking at each other, they seemed keenly interested.
Even though Mortriage and the others were relegated to the corner of the magic school, that did not matter here.
But I thought a little about Karui¡¯s proposal for a moment, and then¡
¡°Hmm¡ no, not yet! I¡¯m done eating!¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Ooouuuh, Mortriage! You guys, eat up, and get some after-meal exercise! We¡¯re still haven¡¯t sparred yet!¡±
I immediately finished my own meal, and shouted to the boys.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Hey, still in the middle of my meal ¡ and that ¡¡±
¡°All of a sudden¡? That, friendship¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? We can talk with the sisters, right?¡±
Sure enough, they seemed a little puzzled by my sudden remarks.
The sisters were also a little freaked out.
But I deliberately said it.
¡°Aaahh You guys, don¡¯t be so care-free! We¡¯re going to make them pay for what they¡¯ve done! Or is this what you guys wanted to do? You want to get to know the girls? Are you satisfied with just that? Is that what changing yourself is all about? That¡¯s wrong! It¡¯s about getting back at those who mocked us! To that end, leave the fun party forter, or you¡¯ll lose the hungry spirit that sprouted up with great effort!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
There are those who want to go to magic school but can¡¯t, and others who quit on their own, but these guys are still attending magic school.
However, they were just going through the motions, doing nothing in particr and rotting away. They¡¯ve dered to me today that they want to change themselves.
In that case, I had to do it.
Then, surprisingly¡
¡°Yes¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ yeah¡¡ I was just thinking that I need to work harder and harder!¡±
¡°Ora, let¡¯s do it!¡±
¡°Yes¡ Confidence¡¡ Yes, I want to be able to have it.¡±
¡°But, I can¡¯t just move so suddenly, I¡¯m human.¡±
Except for one, they stood up with ring eyes.
Apparently, they haven¡¯t wilted yet, and I was a little impressed.
¡°That¡¯s why, Karui. The social gathering¡ I¡¯ll ask for it after they gain a little more confidence in themselves¡ as a reward when they be stronger.¡±
¡°Uha~, so passionate, big brother! Well, that might be fun ? if possible, it¡¯s better to be stronger and cooler.¡±
Therefore, the fun party is postponed a little longer.
¡°Yes, that¡¯s the spirit! Do your best! Boys!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Yes!!¡±¡±¡±
¡°Ha~, good grief, these guys¡¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi cheered for Mortriage¡¯s group.
None of the other sisters mocked them like the bitches from today.
Rather, they were smiling with a gentle look.
To the cheers, Mortriage and the others became more enthusiastic.
¡ºHou~, tis a good decision, child. As expected, just as you gave your all in the previous match for the maid¡¯s bosoms as a reward.¡»
¡¸S, Shut up¡¡¹
I feel like I¡¯ve been teased a bit, but well, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s said it¡¯s a good decision, so it¡¯s fine.
Besides, I also do exercise after meals and before going to bed¡ because¡¡ I¡¯m sure there will be training in ¡¾Vier¡¿ while I¡¯m asleep.
¡ºDefinitely.¡»
That¡¯s right.
¡°Oh ¡ which reminds me, I¡¯ve been curious for a while, doesn¡¯t Ja¡¡ the High Priestess have her meals with you?¡±
While stretching lightly, I wondered why Jamdi¡¯el wasn¡¯t there during the meal and asked, and then Elder Sis Tsukshi¡
¡°Oh, the High Priestess is probably¡ with the ¡®Goddess¡¯?¡±
And it¡¯s been on my mind once or twice, but¡ ¡°Goddess¡±.
Tre¡¯ainar said it was useless to think about Jamdi¡¯el, but I¡¯m still curious.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you very much for your support. And first, my apology.
There is a wedding party this evening, so I can¡¯t update it tomorrow morning.
Well, I don¡¯t know if it will work out well¡ anyway, I¡¯ll tell you in advance because it seems impossible tomorrow.

Chapter 111 ¨C Breathing
Tranted by: Sads07
I mostly had a grasp of things after sparring.
Despite being disrespected by those damn sows, Mortriage seemed to be an ordinary honor student, with excellent athleticism and magical skills. He didn¡¯t seem inferior to my ssmates at the Imperial Academy. Well, except for the Rebal... in this case, I felt that it would be better to put more focus on teaching magic than martial arts.
Oratski has a decent heart. He¡¯s not good with detailed magic, so I think it¡¯s better to narrow down a few simple magic spells and teach closebat techniques such as martial artsbined with weaponry.
Mobner easily loses his nerves, but he seems to have a talent for avoiding crises and is good at evasion. That said, he is still quick to run away. I want him to ovee his fears more while teaching him how to evade properly.
I¡¯m wondering if I should make Budeo lose weight or use his weight as a weapon. However, surprisingly, he had the advantage of being ambidextrous. He always ate his meals with both hands as if it was only natural... However, I still had no idea how to make use of this.
That¡¯s how I finished today¡¯s training with those guys.
We arranged to meet again tomorrow.
And now, while I was sleeping, I was sparring with Tre¡¯ainar in the world of Vier.
¡¸Great Demon Flicker!¡¹
¡¸The rhythm is too monotonous! Add more variety!¡¹
I thought my level of skill had improved due to the experience of sparring with Mr. Machio, but my left fist was still cutting through the air without hitting Tre¡¯ainar.
¡¸The Flicker¡¯s advantage is the difficulty of evading it. If tis too easily read, it cannot be used to fight stronger opponents.¡¹
¡¸tch... Then, speed!¡¹
¡¸Too slow! The next moves are obvious. Weave in more feints.¡¹
¡¸Ku, ha, haeee!¡¹
I thought I could use my footwork to lead the opponent around, but I was still treated lightly during the spar with Tre¡¯ainar.
¡¸Let¡¯s go! Great Demon Smash!¡¹
¡¸Idiot! Do not strike with such huge motions without thought! You will nevernd a lucky punch on high-level opponents! It simply creates extra openings.¡¹
¡¸Ah, damn, I can¡¯tnd a hit...¡¹
¡¸Right! Such heavy blows are not swung and hit honestly. Control your opponent so that you can hit them and they cannot evade you.¡¹
I can¡¯t hit him. I can¡¯t touch him. I can¡¯t keep up with his movements.
¡¸Ha, ha, ze, ze...¡¹
¡¸Hmm... On the whole, you are adequate enough. But as you know, that Machio still hides something. He is the man that received Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s endorsement, you must be even sharper.¡¹
¡¸Ha, ha... Osu...¡¹
The stronger I became, the more I realized how monstrous Tre¡¯ainar was.
¡¸Geez, I thought I could go a little longer...¡¹
¡¸A thousand years too early. That said, I admit that we are making steady progress.¡¹
¡¸Tch...¡¹
Let mend one hit. Let me graze him. Let me change his expression a little bit.
I kept setting the goal of the spars lower and lower, but I can¡¯t achieve it no matter how low I go.
I thought that I had be stronger, but after all, the gap with Tre¡¯ainar was toorge for me to really understand the power difference yet.
I was reminded of the fact that I didn¡¯t know his ceiling.
¡¸Well... I broke the fighting spirit of a child who hadtely begun to lose respect for his master...¡¹
¡¸No, I¡¯m not losing respect for him... I think he¡¯s amazing, I appreciate him, I respect him.¡¹
¡¸Fah... ah, oh, oh, hmm, tis so tis so... kohon, well then soon, in addition to training for improving basic performance, I shall teach you a new magic technique.¡¹
Though Tre¡¯ainar was a little bashful as he told me so, I was so surprised I stood up involuntarily.
¡¸Magic technique...?¡¹
So far, I¡¯ve only learned the Breakthrough and Great Magic Spiral.
I couldn¡¯t help but lean forward at the proposal.
¡¸What is it?¡¹
¡¸Fufufufufufu... that... can be applied not only for the Breakthrough, but for other magic as well.¡¹
I couldn¡¯t contain my excitement when I saw Tre¡¯ainar somewhatughing confidently.
What is the magic technique that Tre¡¯ainar was talking about?
¡¸Tis called ¡®Magical Breathing¡¯.¡¹
¡¸Magic Breath?¡¹
It was the first time I heard those words, and I inquired about it.
¡¸Hmm, child. How does a person get the oxygen they need into their body from the air?¡¹
¡¸That¡¯s... breathing, I guess.¡¹
¡¸Yes. And so...... how does a person restore the magic power they have consumed?¡¹
¡¸Eh? ...... That¡¯s...¡¹
If you think about it, it¡¯s a magic lecture. What¡¯s more, the basics that even a kid knows...
¡¸That¡¯s what you talked about when you opened my ¡®Magic Hole¡¯, right? Magic power is taken from the magic that drifts in the air into the ¡®Magic Tank¡¯ in the body through the ¡®Magic Hole¡¯, passageways for the magic power for the body, holds it, and releases the magic power through the magic hole if necessary....... they say. Therefore, the magic power that is consumed takes in the magic that drifts in the air through the Magic Hole.¡¹
¡¸Hmm, tis so.¡¹
I was asked a simr question before, and I answered the same way.
And Tre¡¯ainar nodded, meaning it wasn¡¯t wrong.
However.....
¡¸Then, let us return to breathing... what do you do to take in ¡®a good deal¡¯ of the oxygen floating in the air?¡¹
¡¸Eh? That¡¯s...... like that... you take a big breath... you take a lot of breaths...¡¹
¡¸Yes. Then...... how do you take in ¡®a good deal¡¯ of the magic drifting in the air?¡¹
¡¸............ eh?¡¹
I was involuntarily at a loss for words when I asked an unexpected question.
Certainly, magic power is usually stored in the magic tank of the body, and when it is consumed, the magic that drifts in the air is taken in through the magic hole and restores it. However, that was just a theory, and in my mind, the recovery of magical power was simr to ¡®natural healing¡¯.
So, I had never thought about ¡®taking a lot of magic from the air¡¯, so I didn¡¯t know how to answer the question.
¡¸... Is it possible? Such a thing ...¡¹
¡¸Fufufu. Recovery magic, so to speak, ¡®rapidly heal injuries¡¯. Then you would think there was a way to ¡®rapidly restore magic¡¯, would you not?¡¹
And that¡¯s the answer that Tre¡¯ainar gave, a new magic technique that I will learn. That¡¯s......
¡¸That is the ¡®Magical Breathing¡¯... instead of relying on nature and time to restore magic power, harvest the magic in the air at your own will and forcibly restore it.¡¹
It¡¯s something I¡¯ve never heard of before...
¡¸A... at your own will?¡¹
¡¸Learn this, and so long as you have physical strength, you will never be unable to use magic forck of magic power... in other words...... use it during a breakthrough, and the breakthrough will never be interrupted, and you can hit the Great Magic Spiral so long as your physical strength does not fail...¡¹
And I heard the exnation...
¡¸Such a cheeeeeeaaaaatttt!!¡¹
I couldn¡¯t help screaming, that technique was too foul.
¡¸Hey, wait! You¡¯ll be able to recover your magical power right away... in a sense, it¡¯s infinite magic power! Or rather, teach me that from the beginning!¡¹
Magic power does not run out. In other words, it is possible to have longer breakthroughs and a series of Great Magic Spirals.
It was too much of a foul.
¡¸No, of course there are risks. Tis not infinite magic power... you still cannot use magic beyond your magic storage capacity, and above all, long breakthroughs and a barrage of Great Magic Spirals would put a constant strain on the body.¡¹
¡¸That¡¯s true. But then I wouldn¡¯t have had to think about preserving the breakthrough...¡¹
¡¸No, tis certainly possible for prolonged periods, but at this point, tis better to set a time limit. Consider the burden on the body. That is why, after use you cannot endure the undue burden and end up injured, you may not be able to move properly due to muscle pain, potentially you may ruin the body itself, and if not used properly, you could die afterwards, could you not?¡¹
¡¸Uh, oh ... oh, oooh...¡¹
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar emphasized the ¡°risk of death¡± to me with a serious look.
I gulped at the force of his words.
¡¸W, well, I see... there are risks attached to such amazing techniques...¡¹
¡¸Yes. People cannot power up so easily. There is always corresponding risk to it... without exception...... right...... without exception.¡¹
The moment he spoke of the risks, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes became even sharper.
I mean, it¡¯s something to give a lot of thought to...
¡¸But you can manage such risks with a view on the future rather than what is before you.¡¹
¡¸Eh...?¡¹
¡¸Your bout with Toulowe, to offer such an earnest challenge without using the breakthrough and win. An easy victory in thememorative match was right before you, you put on a conceited disy to the opponent to the tune of his futility, and yet are unwilling to use the power you have acquired indiscriminately. Today¡¯s exchange with the Wizarding School small fry is evidence of this. You have a mind to aim for higher levels. That is why I guide you.¡¹
I felt that it was praised for something like my attitude as a human, not my skills in punching or footwork.
¡¸Oh, yeah ... maybe?¡¹
It¡¯s a rare thing, so I¡¯m a bit embarrassed... in front of me, Tre¡¯ainar was grinning.
¡¸Fuhahaha, embarrassed are we?¡¹
¡¸Nuh-uh!? I¡¯m not embarrassed!¡¹
¡¸No, you were embarrassed! Fuhahaha tis delightful. Payback for always illuminating me.¡¹
¡¸Tch, you¡¯re surprisingly persistent... hmm? Always...... in the end, you¡¯re embarrassed, aren¡¯t you?¡¹
¡¸Eh? ...... I, I am never bashful!¡¹
¡¸No, you clearly said it now! I heard you!¡¹
¡¸Yes, now silence! Focus on training! Anyway, we shall begin the lesson on Magical Breathing!¡¹
We seemed to have derailed each other¡¯s conversation a little, but in the end, Tre¡¯ainar forcibly restored it.
Well, it¡¯s a draw for now.
If I were to talk, I might have been able to drive the Great Demon King to a corner a little...
¡¸Now, ¡®breathing¡¯ and ¡®meditation¡¯ are important for learning magical breathing. Moreover, tis not just breathing and meditation. First of all, tis training to concentrate on breathing and meditation in any situation and to do it precisely. There is a perfect training method for that.¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar... it wasn¡¯t, Tre¡¯ainar coughed lightly and immediately started talking seriously, and I sat up and paid close attention.
¡¸Fufufu, it seems that Jamdi¡¯el was also trying to have the students of the dojo learn Magical Breathing... I witnessed them performing something simr in the dojo, though sporadically.¡¹
¡¸Eh!? Well then... can Jamdi¡¯el also use Magical Breathing?¡¹
¡¸No, she cannot. And what was being performed in the dojo was iplete training. In that case, no matter how much they try, they cannot learn Magical Breathing. In this way, Jamdi¡¯el imperfectly conveys what I once devised, in the hopes that ¡®someone will learn it¡¯.¡¹
¡¸I, is that right... it?¡¹
¡¸Tis so. And you are in luck. With certainty, I shall guide you correctly. Yes, I am different from Jamdi¡¯el.¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar looked confident with a smug expression.
The other day, I was frightened when I saw the ¡°darkness¡± of Jamdi¡¯el, but when I thought that this guy was much stronger than Jamdi¡¯el, I felt somewhatplicated.
¡¸Well... the best training to learn Magical Breathing...... is a practice called Magical Yoga.¡¹
Yo... ga? It was the first time I heard of it.
¡¸In this training, tis essential to learn various movements and poses. You should learn my movements and try themter in front of the dojo mirror.¡¹
With that said, Tre¡¯ainar decided to immediately give me a demonstration.
¡¸Ah!? S, see here... eh!?!¡¹
And I... to conquer myughter... failed a second time, and received an impact as a result.

I came back yesterday, much earlier than I expected, and I ended up writing... but I couldn¡¯t help it. The world is so cruel.

Magical Yoga. A new training that Tre¡¯ainar showed me.
It was abination of breathing, posture, and meditation to control the flow of energy in the body.
The effects are¡ hmm, well¡¡ various, it seems, and by taking poses I normally don¡¯t, I stimte and activate muscles and joints in areas that are not often used in everyday life¡ hmm, but that pose¡
¡¸Magical Happy Baby Pose! Keep this up for a minute.¡¹
Lying on the back, hold the knees with both hands.
Slightly pull the chin back and straighten the back.
With the knees open, pull the thighs to the side, grasp the soles of the feet with the hands, and pull them downwards.
This¡¡ there was such a pose in the treasured book I had hidden in my room.
What was it called?
It was like changing a baby¡¯s diaper¡.
¡¸Stretch the hips and spine. This soothes the mind and alleviates stress and fatigue.¡¹
This training is serious. Therefore, Tre¡¯ainar took poses like ¡°Happy Baby¡± and such with a straight face.
I was d we were in the world of Vier. No matter what happens, it¡¯s all a dream.
I endured, clenched my lips so hard I might bite it off¡
¡¸High difficulty pose. Magical Demon Saint Pose!¡¹
What¡¯s going on now?
Crawling on all fours, he hung his left leg over his left shoulder and extended his knees straight.
Floating with the right foot straight behind him, and supported his whole body with only the hands to maintain the posture¡ what a limber body¡ amazing¡¡ and yet, not good!
¡¸This strengthens the triceps, abdominal muscles, hips, and core, and also improves concentration and bnce.¡¹
That¡¯s enough. Now, I¡¯m¡ listening, don¡¯t¡
¡¸And this, cur, is my favorite Great Demon Spiral¡ materialization in both hands ¡ ¡¾Great Demon Twin Spiral ? Devil Spiral Breakstream¡¿!!!¡¹
¡¸Ah¡¡¹
And this was the promised situation.
A Great Magic Spiral in both hands, I have never seen that before. Two surging spirals create a huge swirl, causing a catastrophe in the Vier world.
Even though I didn¡¯tugh out loud, the smiling Tre¡¯ainar looked very angry.
I didn¡¯tugh¡ I endured¡ Forgive me¡
¡¡ And then I woke up.
¡°Hah, hah¡ ah~¡ so much night sweats¡¡±
The room in which I was allocated at the church.
My sleepwear, as I got up from the bed, was drenched with sweat.
Even though I diligently took a bath when I finished training.
¡°Fuh~¡ even though it¡¯s a dream, being killed is exhausting¡ not a good way to wake up¡¡±
¡ºTis your own fault¡ughing over and over again at my expense¡¡»
¡°B, because¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar, who killed me in the dream world, was angry at my bedside.
¡ºAre you prepared? That yoga is not merely for learning Magical Breathing, is it? Concentration, meditation¡ they will surely lead to gaining ¡®another¡¯ power.¡»
¡°Osu¡¡±.
No, I understand. Seriously. And Tre¡¯ainar was serious too.
However, the more serious he was, the bigger the impact.
In particr, that ¡®happy baby¡¯ was bad.
Happy baby with a serious Tre¡¯ainar.
Happy¡¡
¡°Bufu!¡±
¡ºNah!? Y, you cuuuuuuuuuuuuuur!!¡»
¡°Eep, s, sorry! I, I¡¯ll remember¡¡±
¡ºIndeed, you wretch! Enough! Tis a little early for dawn, but go out for road work!¡»
¡°Ah~, geez¡ well, whatever¡¡±
He wouldn¡¯t let me sleep again.
As punishment, I was forced out of bed by Tre¡¯ainar who shouted at the bedside to run.
¡°Well, it¡¯s like a morning walk.¡±
¡ºNo, you shall make a dash.¡»
¡°Geh!?¡±
¡ºPromptly move out!¡»
¡°Yes yes¡ alright, master.¡±
¡ºHmm, calling me master only when tis convenient, no longer shall I be deceived!¡»
It was still dark outside, and the morning sun hasn¡¯t risen.
Of course, no sister had awoken yet.
Looking out of the window, there was no one walking in the streets.
¡ºRoad work. Yoga. Jumping rope. Shadows. Muscle training. And sparring in Vier. The menu for the next three months will mostly be so. And in these three months, I shall make you ¡ several times stronger than you are now¡ so, run with the resolve for death!! Tis about the strengthening of the lower body!¡»
¡°O, Osu!!¡±
¡ºQuickly now, get moving!¡»
In the midst of such a calm atmosphere, the fervent energy of the Great Demon King still kicked in, and I was immediately driven to run with only light stretching.
The town was dim all over, but the fresh air soaked in and I felt refreshed.
¡°Hah~, still, I feel weird.¡±
¡ºWhat is wrong?¡»
¡°You see, since I ran away from home, I¡¯ve been on the move most of the time, so I couldn¡¯t settle down somewhere¡ could I?¡±
¡ºHmm?¡»
¡°That¡¯s why¡ the fact that I won¡¯t be going to the academy, I won¡¯t take sses, and I can focus on training all day from now on¡ is either going to be fun, or hell¡¡±
Without being bound by anything, I could just spend time purely on getting stronger.
There was also the new challenge of learning Magical Breathing, and I was looking forward to seeing how strong I could be in the future.
But¡¡
¡ºHou~, it seems your heart still has some leeway¡ quite dependable, are we?¡»
¡°Come on.¡±
I hadn¡¯t realized at the time.
Invigorating, the days when I only wanted pure strength was about to begin. That¡¯s what I thought.
But that was because I still didn¡¯t know anything about Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s goal or true intentions.
What was Jamdi¡¯el up to? The hint to that came abruptly and unexpectedly so early in the morning.
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡º¡¡ muh?¡»
As I ran through the empty streets of the town, and reached the beach, Tre¡¯ainar and I were surprised.
There was no one in the streets, so I thought there would be no one on the sandy beach, but it wasn¡¯t so.
¡°¡ is someone there?¡±
¡ºUmm¡»
There was a figure on the beach.
Not that there was anything strange about it.
As I am running outside like this, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if someone woke up early and went for a walk on the beach.
Well, it was too early to call it a morning walk.
But as we ran closer to the person, we couldn¡¯t believe our eyes.
¡°Wha ¡ horn ¡?¡±
¡ºDemon¡?¡»
Arge horn was growing out of the person¡¯s head.
Devil-kin? Half-breed like Bro?
And¡¡
¡°¡¡ a song?¡±
I heard a gentle, calm, and rxing song like a luby.
A woman¡¯s voice that sounded a little childish.
Who in the world¡
¡°~~~~ ? Hmm¡ ara?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡º¡¡ Eehh!!??¡»
And then the other party noticed me.
A mysterious woman standing on a still dim beach.
Petite, young, probably about my age or a little younger than me?
And her figure¡
¡°Hmm~¡ in this case¡ umm, very good morning?¡±
¡°¡¡ eh?¡±
¡°Yes! It¡¯s still too early to say good morning, so I tried adding ¡®very¡¯ on it¡ is that correct?¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
Pure white, slender limbs, a white dress and a lightly fluttering short skirt.
With long, fluffy white hair, a beauty¡ or rather, cute? Such a girl?
However, it was clear that the girl wasn¡¯t human.
And what I found curious was the horn extending from her head.
Furthermore, the shape of the horn was¡
¡¸¡¡ the same? Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s horn¡ also¡¡ what is it¡¡ this feeling¡¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ this one¡¡¡»
A demon horn. I was stunned at the sight of such a girl.
¡°Wh¡ who the heck are you¡¡±
¡°Ara? You don¡¯t know of me?¡±
¡°Eh¡¡ Ah, ah huh¡¡±
¡°It would seem! My goodness, well, nice to meet you!¡±
¡°Ah, hi, nice to meet you¡¡±
A smile so pure that I couldn¡¯t feel any hidden side to it at all.
¡°Fufufufu, this is my first time speaking to a stranger alone. I¡¯m nervous.¡±
I don¡¯t know who she is.
However, she¡¯s not human¡ I wonder¡¡ her overflowing aura¡ she was certainly not an ordinary person.
And then¡¡
¡°It is said that, one should take the trouble, so allow me to ascertain it, okay?¡±
¡°No, eh? What¡¡±.
¡°Then, excuse me.¡±
¡°Hah?¡±
¡°Bulging¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The next moment, I didn¡¯t realize what she was doing for an instant.
¡°Hey, wha, hah!? H, hey, what are you doing!?¡±
The untainted girl in front of me smiled and touched my crotch as if checking for ¡°You-Know-What¡± with her hand.
¡°There¡¯s something between your legs that Ick¡ I see¡¡ I understand! You¡¯re a boy, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°You can tell by looking at me!?¡±
¡°Eh? ¡¡ Is that so? I don¡¯t usually meet anyone other than the girls in the church, I only see boys once in a while. So I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Wh, what?¡±
My jaw dropped at the excessiveck ofmon sense uttered by this little girl, regardless of whether she was a demon or a human.
What the hell kind of sheltered youngdy was she?
However, for now¡
¡°Anyway, don¡¯t suddenly touch the crotch of the man you met for the first time!¡±
¡°Eh!? But¡¡ this is the most reliable way to check if the other person is a man or not¡. Karui, who takes care of me, told me so ¡¡±
At any rate, when I get back to the church, I¡¯ll give Karui a smack in the head.
Chapter 113 – God’s Feelings
Chapter 113 ¨C God¡¯s Feelings
¡°What is your name?¡±
A woman who suddenly ps a person¡¯s crotch to determine their gender.
¡°Earth. That¡¯s my name.¡¯
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ Earth, the boy! Yes, I will remember it!¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s not like being a boy is some kind of alias¡ well, that¡¯s fine¡¡±
There was no hostility, but she¡¯s still a weirdo.
With minimal vignce, I gave an answer for the time being.
And then, whereas I gave my name, the other party gave a smile.
¡°I am called Kron. Please treat me well, Earth.¡±
¡°¡¡ Kron?¡±
¡ºEh!?¡»
The girl who gave her own name¡ Kron.
We¡¯ve only introduced ourselves. But that doesn¡¯t resolve any doubts.
¡°Are you ¡ a demon?¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
First of all, why are there demons here? It might not be so unusual since a half-demon like Bro entered the dojo in this country.
However, I was surprised that there were other demons, because I had only seen humans in this country except for Jamdi¡¯el.
And then¡¡
¡°Masochist? Are you¡¡ simr to Machio?¡±
¡°¡¡ ha? Mr. Machio? Mr. Machio is human, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°Eh? But before, Karui said with augh. People like Machio, who are always training hard, are a race called ¡®masochist¡¯. However, since I have never done anything rigorously, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m a masochist.¡±
¡°¡¡¡ that Karui¡¡¡±
¡°But even so, Karui said that she respects Machio because he is stronger, kinder and more masculine than anyone else.¡±
Not good. Her imagination is beyond bothersome, isn¡¯t it? Moreover, that idiot is the cause, isn¡¯t she?
¡°¡¡ Ah¡ what can I say¡ Well, Karui¡¯s name has beening up for a while now that you mentioned it, you¡ do you live in the church?¡±
¡°Yes. I live on the top floor of the church.¡±
The top floor of the church. It was a big church, and there must have been rooms up top.
That said, there must be rooms for the other sisters who didn¡¯t have any rtives, and I would not wander around the church indiscriminately.
Therefore, I did not think there would be such a woman in the church, much less a demon.
¡º¡¡ Kron¡¡ th¡ this one¡ by no means¡ no¡.. however¡¡ could it be? Such an urrence¡¡»
And, unusually, Tre¡¯ainar was more surprised than I am.
Until now, Tre¡¯ainar never so much as stuttered even after seeing Mr. Aka, Bro, or Toulowe, but this time, with this girl named Kron before him, he seemed tremendously displeased.
¡°Umm~¡ all things considered¡ you¡¡±
¡°dah?? Hey, wha!? H, hey, whoa! What¡¯s with that all of a sudden?¡±
The moment I took my eyes off her, Kron was looking into my face from below with an innocent expression. Moreover, she was so close.
So I take a step back in surprise at the unexpected sense of distance.
But when he saw me, Kron looked somewhat pleased¡
¡°Fufufu, you¡ are the second one!¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°So far, everyone I¡¯ve met has spoken with extremely polite speech ¡ but you don¡¯t. You¡¯re the second man I¡¯ve met who does that!¡±
Apparently, casual talk, moreover from the opposite sex was unusual to her.
She was happy about that, such a weird girl.
And¡..
¡°Not since Bro!¡±
¡°Bro!?¡±
¡°Oh! Do you know of Bro?¡±
¡°Ah, well, I know him¡¡±
Of all people, I had the same treatment or attitude as him¡ but¡¡ she¡¯s never heard anything other than honorifguage, who was she really¡
¡°Lady Kron, is thou here?¡±
¡°Ara?¡±
¡°Eh, geh!?¡±
Just then, a jet-ck winged being appeared in the still-dark sky.
¡°Oh, Jamdi¡¯el. Very good morning.¡±
¡°If thou would take a walk, please give word¡¡±
It was Jamdi¡¯el, and I was truly astonished at the interaction between the two.
Because Kron, who seemed to have ¡®never heard anything other than honorific speech used by people¡¯, was also having honorifics used very much from Jamdi¡¯el to my surprise.
And Jamdi¡¯el herself seemed to respect Kron.
How unlikely that was.
Jamdi¡¯el was not some High Priestess of a secluded nation. Her true identity was a Six Supremacy and Great General of the Demon King Army.
One of them used honorifics with a girl who didn¡¯t seem to be much older than me, and the moment she descended to the ground, she got down on one knee and bowed like a Knight of the Kingsguard.
A legendary existence like the Six Supremacy bowed her head. That¡¯s exactly what¡
¡ºJamdi¡¯el¡¡»
Unless the other party was the Great Demon King¡
¡°¡¡ Fufufufu¡ even though¡ no way, thou is here as well. Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°As far as I can see, thou was working on Magical Road Work, and happened to meet Lady Kron? Nay, this is no coincidence, it¡¯s inevitable, is it fate?¡±
¡°¡¡ Ha, huh?¡±
And while I was surprised and dumbfounded, Jamdi¡¯el, who was bowing her head, talked to me with an eerieugh.
¡°Ara? Is Jamdi¡¯el also an acquaintance of Earth?¡±
¡°Indeed¡ currently, he resides in the church due to certain circumstances. I hoped his greeting to Lady Kron would be at the next congregation, excuse the dy.¡±
¡°Well, is that right? Then, Earth knows Machio, Karui, Bro, and Jamdi¡¯el! How wonderful! So the world is at peace today and everyone is getting along!¡±
I was at a loss for a reaction ¡°The world is at peace today and everyone is getting along¡±? It was too congrattory, a rather chilly phrase.
However, for Kron to utter such a line as her true opinion from the depths of her heart.
That¡¯s why I was at a loss for words.
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Earth Lagann¡ Fufufufu, to stare so passionately at Lady Kron¡ well, thou must have fallen in love with Lady Kron!¡±
¡°¡¡ ha?¡±
¡°Hmm, I understand without thou saying a thing. Lady Kron has the bloodline that fascinates all in this world. It¡¯s no wonder that thou, still in adolescence, harbor such feelings and would want to conceive with her and have plenty of children.¡±
¡°Hey, no, no, wait a minute!? Oh, you¡¯re saying something suddenly out of the blue!?¡±
¡°Fuhahaha, I see! After all, one who is closer in age would be beneficial. But unfortunately it¡¯s still too early, Earth Lagann. That¡¯s right, thou would have to wait at least 7,776,000 seconds.¡±
Somehow, Jamdi¡¯el seemed frantic and scary as hell. Moreover, what she said was ridiculously insane.
The conversation was suddenly too far out of control.
A mysterious girl who even Jamdi¡¯el worshiped. In front of her¡ erm¡¡ co, conceive¡
¡°Conceive? What is that?¡±
¡°Oh, Lady Kron. That¡¯s how the child is given birth to, I taught thee the other day.¡±
¡°Ah! That¡¯s right! Let me see, certainly¡¡±
And maybe she didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words to me, Kron tilted her head¡
¡°Yes! I remember now! A man gets excited and gets erec¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°tte, that¡¯s irresponsible of you! Hey, I can¡¯t keep up with the situation!¡±
And I realized. This woman was preposterous by natural.
If I hadn¡¯t shouted out, she would have said something outrageous with that innocent smile.
I don¡¯t know what to make of this woman.
She¡¯s really¡
¡ºJamdi¡¯el¡¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Hmm? Is something wrong, Earth Lagann? Is thy face not pale?¡±
With my face hot, I think I yelled out. But the next moment, as I suddenly looked sideways, I got goosebumps all over my body at the sight of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s figure.
¡ºIs that how it is¡ curse you¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡ to use ¡®that¡¯¡ the Ancient Techniques of the City of Sorcery, Shiznautmy¡. however, tis highly hical, I said never to use it¡ many times over¡¡»
Jamdi¡¯el and Kron seemed to care about my situation, but it was more than that, I was simply terrified.
I¡¯ve experienced Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s bloodlust first hand in our spars many times.
He had even lectured me on my inadequacies many times.
At times, he gave me his dignified adult opinions.
However, it was the first time I¡¯ve seen Tre¡¯ainar like this.
¡ºNever have I felt resentment at the absence of this body as I do now¡ were this body alive and well¡ even if she was one of my Six Supremacy, I would take that head at once¡.¡»
That was the expression of Tre¡¯ainar, who was the Great Demon King during her lifetime, which I never knew.
And I¡¯ve never seen Tre¡¯ainar so angry.
¡°Hmm, what¡¯s wrong? Is thou tired from running too hard? Would that not be troubling? Also, Lady Kron. Let us return soon.¡±
¡°Yes, I understand.¡±
However, no matter how much anger and bloodlust Tre¡¯ainar exuded, it would never reach Jamdi¡¯el.
Words, des, and everything from Tre¡¯ainar couldn¡¯t reach the current Jamdi¡¯el.
That¡¯s why Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t know anything about the feelings of Tre¡¯ainar himself, who she worshiped to the extent that she called him God.
As proof of that, Jamdi¡¯el waspletely ignorant of the spirit and anger of Tre¡¯ainar who was right beside her.
¡°Fufufufu, Earth Lagann and Lady Kron¡ if ites to be, much trouble will be saved¡ Fufufufu, all that¡¯s left is the qualification of winning the tournament. Jos¨¦ emerged a failure, Bro is gone, and I thought Machio would be adequate, but I feared Machio¡¯s bulk would break the petite Lady Kron, so I wondered what to do¡ Fufufufu, hahahahaha¡¡±
And although I couldn¡¯t hear what she was saying, Jamdi¡¯el muttered something in a very low voice, with a terrible smile.
¡°After all, fate is on our side! Surely, all is ording to God¡¯s divine guidance!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el suddenly looked up and raised her voice to the sky.
So¡.. you really don¡¯t understand God¡¯s feelings¡
¡°Ara? What¡¯s going on? Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°Who knows¡¡±
I held my head for a moment.
Chapter 114 – Questions
Chapter 114 ¨C Questions
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Earth, how old are you?¡±
¡°15 years old¡±
¡°Oh my! You¡¯re the same as me!¡±
¡°Eh...... is that right?¡±
Demons are said to have a long life span, so I¡¯ve heard that there was a gap between their appearance and their age.
Even Tre¡¯ainar had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
However, I was a little surprised that there was no difference in appearance and age when it came to Kron.
¡°Do you go to school like Karui?¡±
¡°School? No, I¡¯m not from this country in the first ce.¡±
¡°Is that so? Where did youe from?¡±
Kron seemed curious about me and asked a lot of questions.
We¡¯re walking side by side, but the distance was close. I felt shy. I took a breath. So heartwarming...... Anyway, I just want her to be a little more aware of the sense of distance.
¡°That¡¯s...... the Empire, and it¡¯s a bit far from here.¡±
¡°The outside world... a distantnd beyond the sea? Ha~~~, wonderful!¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I only know of this world here, so I admire those who know the outside world!¡±
And, the pace of things got out of control.
On the other hand...
¡°Fufufu, Fufufufufu¡±
Lined up behind us as we walked, with her important precious ¡°Lady Kron¡± next to a bug called a man, as a rule, this kind of scene would usually be met with ¡°Filthy man, don¡¯t dare approach Lady Kron!¡± and a fit of rage, but there was no such situation from Jamdi¡¯el. Rather, she seemed to be in a good mood, watching over us with warm... no, really distorted eyes.
To be honest, I couldn¡¯t help but feel creeped out.
And......
¡°So, is Earth¡¯s family in the Empire?¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
¡°...... Nu...¡±
Involuntarily, I was struck by a simple question, and Jamdi¡¯el was reacting behind me.
Family. Well, they were.
Father. Mother. And Sadiz. My family was there.
¡°?¡±
But I left the family. It seemed my mother came chasing after me... what happened afterwards?
It¡¯s hard for me to say ¡°I don¡¯t care¡±, even though I¡¯ve put it behind me.
About my mother and the others who were chasing me, Jamdi¡¯el said, ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything¡±.
¡°...... Fuh~...¡±
And Jamdi¡¯el was reacting behind me.
Yes, Jamdi¡¯el has never treated me as a ¡°hero¡¯s son¡±, as if to say ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter who I am.¡±
However, that doesn¡¯t mean that my father and mother ¡°don¡¯t matter¡± to Jamdi¡¯el either.
Although distorted, she¡¯s still someone who worshiped Tre¡¯ainar as ¡°God¡±.
Then what does Jamdi¡¯el actually think about my parents, who overthrew that Tre¡¯ainar?
¡°Uoooooi, Goddess~~! There you are!¡±
At that moment, a huge cloud of dust rose up on the beach.
¡°Ara?¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°Dear me...¡±
Something was approaching with enough force to cause a raging wave.
That momentum wasn¡¯t fitting, considering the insolent voice that resounded...
¡°Oh, big brother, and the High Priestess is here too!¡±
It was Karui. No..... Goddess? Oh, I see... her...
¡°Ufufufu, Karui, very good morning.¡±
¡°...... Very? Well, good morning! High Priestess and big brother, good morning!¡±
¡°...... ou.¡±
¡°Goodness, as rude as ever, aren¡¯t thee...¡±
Karui gave a cheerful and straightforward greeting, but not very polite.
Kron was smiling, but Jamdi¡¯el gave a little sigh.
I mean, how many people in the world could give Jamdi¡¯el such a greeting during the war... I don¡¯t even know.
¡°Well, I wake up in the morning only to be surprised that the Goddess wasn¡¯t in her room, so please stop~.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Karui. But something really wonderful happened today.¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Look, this here is Earth. I talked a lot with a boy for the first time in a long time.¡±
¡°Whoa, well, really!? Uh, with big brother?! Hee~, you don¡¯t say, heh~¡±
Like Jamdi¡¯el, she apparently came looking for Kron, but as soon as she heard that Kron was with me, Karui turned her terrifying grinning face toward me.
But......
¡°And like Karui taught me the other day about how to distinguish between boys and girls, I felt his crotch, but Earth got a little angry. What does that mean?¡±
¡°...... eh!?¡±
The next moment, Karui¡¯s smiling face froze.
¡°Hou~! I hadn¡¯t heard of that...¡±
¡°Gyaahh No, I¡¯m sorry, High Priestess! No, I didn¡¯t mean...¡±
¡°Fufufufu, I shall hear of it in the confession roomter.¡±
¡°Hiiiiiiiiii!?¡±
¡°Well, but... as the other party is Earth Lagann, this is...¡±
As I was shocked at what was actually being taught to a youngdy ignorant of the world, Jamdi¡¯el showed a very eloquent smile.
This also made Karui tremble in fear.
Well, at the end of the day, Jamdi¡¯el muttered something that was slightly disturbing...
¡°Anyway, Karui. Take Lady Kron and help her bathe.¡±
¡°Well, I understand! Come on, Goddess, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Yes, Karui!¡±
Scared, Karui ran off with Kron, as ordered by Jamdi¡¯el.
Kron happily ran along the beach with Karui.
¡°Hectic fellow.¡±
¡°Well, I suppose.¡±
¡°But... I heard from Amae of a goddess, but I didn¡¯t realize... that was the rumored goddess.¡±
¡°...... Ah...¡±
Jamdi¡¯el and I were left behind looking at their backs.
¡°By the way, Earth Lagann¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I have a question to ask.¡±
As soon as they were out of sight, Jamdi¡¯el asked me in a voice that I could only hear.
When I turned my face to see what the hell was going on...
¡°When did thou realize... I was Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The moment I heard the question, my spine suddenly straightened and I realized that I had been too careless.
¡°I have yet to give thou my name. But when Lady Kron mentioned my name, there was no reaction from thee.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s...¡±
¡°How could Hiro and Mamu¡¯s son... let alone the academy students of the Imperial City, not know the name ¡®Jamdi¡¯el¡¯?¡±
That¡¯s true. I¡¯m not supposed to know Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s name yet.
Tre¡¯ainar told me Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s name and identity, but she doesn¡¯t know that.
In fact, when Tre¡¯ainar first told me Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s name, how shaken up I got...
¡°Why can you use the Great Demon Spiral... it was a matter of little consequence before the fact that the sessor of the Great Demon King was present, so I didn¡¯t particrly pursue it as it would be problematic were thou to be overly vignt and attempt escape. Say?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el calmly and slowly put her hand on my shoulder.
From that hand, I felt an unbelievable chill.
¡°What in the world are thee? And how can thou know I am Jamdi¡¯el, yet still remain nonchnt and train with calm?¡±
She should ¡®not be doing that¡¯ to me, but I could sense that she was able ¡®to do that¡¯.
The pressure was so strong that I could instinctively sense that this hand on my shoulder could easily separate my head from my torso with a slight movement
¡ºChild, stay calm.¡»
¡¸T, Tre¡¯ainar...¡¹
As I was choking on Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s question, Tre¡¯ainar by my side...
¡ºI heard it all from Bro... give that answer.¡»
¡¸Bro...? Ah...¡¹
That said, I remembered my farewell conversation with Bro.
¨D¨D Maybe you... Master¡¯s twisted ambition and ideology... that fellow¡¯s situation.... nuh-uh.
¨D¨D Master? Fellow? What are you talking about?
¨D¨D Whaaaat, if you happen to meet my Master, who is also my first love... ¡¯Sister¡¯ ¨D¨D¨D¨D
Come to think of it. Bro¡¯s master is this fellow... Surely, then that makes sense... huh? Hold on. If so, Bro¡¯s first love is... eh? And by sister... do you mean like Karui and Amae? Or...... No way... him...?
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can thou not answer that?¡±
¡°Fuh~, I heard from Bro... about you...¡±
¡°...... Hou~...¡±
Anyway, was that enough to fool her? I don¡¯t know what would happen if I were to tell her that I could see the ghost of Tre¡¯ainar, who she revered as God.
¡°Yes... by the way, I tried to get Bro to help in my search for thee, but thou was found before that, so in the end I never saw him. How¡¯s he doing?¡±
¡°Hmm? A, all right... but he¡¯s thinking about getting honest.¡±
¡°Fufufu, him? Honest? Because he couldn¡¯t do that, he fell into delinquency... such a moron...¡±
The moment she talked about Bro, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes took on a distant, nostalgic look for a moment.
¡°So ... did Bro mention Lady Kron as well?¡±
¡°No, nothing.... about that.¡±
¡°Is that so... well, that¡¯s fine.¡±
Then Jamdi¡¯el took her hand off my shoulder, and the next moment the chill that overwhelmed my body subsided.
¡°Even though thou has heard of me from Bro, that does not exin thy use of the Breakthrough, Great Demon Spiral, and so on... but for now, let¡¯s leave such frightful inquiry. Either way, at thy current level, only slightly stronger than Bro, thou can¡¯t defeat me or leave this country.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el walked away from me.
¡°Now, simply train to thy heart¡¯s content and defeat Machio in three months. Then, as a reward, I will grant thee the greatest treasure in the world and even a legendary honor.¡±
¡°What, is it...¡±
¡°Look forward to it. And if you wish, I can see to thy training for three months...¡±
¡°Eh, don¡¯t joke around. I¡¯ll do what I want.¡±
¡°I see. In that case, do carry on.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t seem to be looking that deeply into it right now, even though her suspicions about me have not been resolved.
It might be simply because she thought that she could do anything to me by force if she felt like it.
When I was touched up close, I was so scared that I couldn¡¯t help myself.
¡º...... Jamdi¡¯el... by no means did she, Kron and......... the child...¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar muttered as if he realized something while staring at Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s back with strong, sharp eyes.
¡°Earth! If you don¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you take a bath with me and Karui?¡±
¡°tte, I¡¯m in!!¡±
¡°Hold on, wa, no, Goddess!? No, no, that¡¯s no good! Please tell her, High Priestess!¡±
¡°Well... if thou takes responsibility... right? Earth Lagann.¡±
I was drowned out by Kron¡¯s voice screaming from all the way there, the tense atmosphere seemed to be broken, and I was so tired that I sighed.
¡°Hmm, why? I want to talk with Earth some more!¡±
Generally, a bath... a bath together... that? That might be appealing, right? No, no, I¡¯m not taking advantage of someone¡¯sck ofmon sense, that kind of thing ... I shouldn¡¯t ... I...should ... not ...
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone, as always, I am indebted to you.
As I noticed yesterday, this work was in the cumtive ranking.
Rank 299th from (?), and although it is a ranking on the borderline where I do not know when it will be overtaken by a nova and fall, I am proud because it was the first time that it was listed in the cumtive total.
This is also thanks to everyone injecting hot drills.
Thank you for all the spirit and drills.
I was surprised that the 85,000 drills was the lowest line in the cumtive ranking, but I was able to break through that wall as well.
We will continue to work hard to go further beyond the heavens, so I look forward to your continued support in the future.
Remaining...... 915,000 Drills!
Chapter 115 – Bath
Chapter 115 ¨C Bath
Tranted by: Sads07
Children¡¯s tears are invincible. I don¡¯t know who said it, but it¡¯s amon phrase.
But I was skeptical of the theory.
Whether the child cries or screams, there must be times when it doesn¡¯t reach the parents. And that, I can say with conviction.
However, when I came here, my own argument began to waver.
For example...
¨D Unh, would you really like to take a bath with me?
If a girl of the same age told me that, even if I were not in a rtionship with her, I would refuse. Even if I think it¡¯s appealing. Even if I think I¡¯m not doing something wrong.
But......
¨D...... Un. Yes.
So what if a little girl pulls the hem of my clothes from below and asks?
¨D Yes... un... together... let¡¯s go...
It¡¯s the pestering of a pure child. Nheless, it is declined because there will be many other sisters in there.
And then......
¨D Ugh... sniff... can¡¯t we?
Is it really worth making a child shed tears to say no?
No, it¡¯s not.
Therefore, there is no other choice.
Because a child was crying.
Listen, a child who lost their parents at an early age wants to be pampered.
If simply taking a bath together can heal their heart even a little, it is a small price to pay.
It¡¯s a matter of the human heart.
¨D Wai, Amae! No, no, no, I¡¯m here too!?
¨D A, as expected, it, it¡¯s hopeless!
¨D Ufufufufu, Earth, everyone is in the bath~?.
¨D Mufun! Baathtime, bathtime!
¨D I entrust it to thou, Earth Lagann.
And in the end......
¡°...... so spacious...¡±
¡°Sshy ?¡±
¡°Heey, Amae. You shouldn¡¯t enter the bath before washing your body, okay?¡±
¡°I mean, this situation... seriously? Big sister escaped, why am I going in?¡±
Standing side by side, me, Amae, Kron, Karui.
By the way, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Jamdi¡¯el seem to have been allowed a pass.
Unlike themunal bath in the church... this was a luxuriously decorated bath exclusively for the goddess, which was asrge as the public bath.
For some reason, I was given ess to a sanctuary where only Kron, the goddess, and the sister who attends to her could enter.
Or how should I put it, this too luxurious, is there any money left in the church? If you put this money towards the sister¡¯s school tuition... I thought, but I don¡¯t want to hear of such boorish talk.
However, it was also true that I can¡¯t keep myposure without thinking about such things.
¡°Big brother... if you look this way, I¡¯ll call you lecher brother from now on.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t look. Or, you can rx. I¡¯m not thirsty enough to mess with a junior.¡±
Karui hid her body with a washcloth, and red at me while blushing.
As expected, I don¡¯t care for underage girls, and wouldn¡¯t try to see her naked.
However, she does have nice, toned legs. They are slim and slender overall, which makes them light and easy to run with.
The chest was also very cute.
By the way, I didn¡¯t see this. I saw it.
¡°Un. Back. Come. Wipe. I¡¯ll wipe you.¡±
And, ¡®without covering anything¡¯, Amae beckoned me with no expression, proudly and unshaken.
That body is ¨D¨D
¡ºOi, you cur. If you analyze?parse that little girl¡¯s body in your mind, you shall earn my ire, shall you not?¡»
Damn it, I won¡¯t. I almost had that thought, but...
¡°Oh, that¡¯s a good idea, Amae! It¡¯s a sign of friendship! I¡¯ll wipe Earth as well!¡±
¡°You, cover uuuuuuuuupp!!!! Wha wha wha wha , why, utterly naked!?¡±
¡°Goddess, that¡¯s not gooooooooood!¡±
In fact, Kron was smiling and frolicking in a way that suits the word ¡°innocent¡±.
White skin, slender, petite, palm-sized, cute, and her p¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡º...... Oi...¡»
This is impossible. You can¡¯t do that. I mean, it¡¯s just really bad.
Even though I¡¯ve read those books and stuff, how many years has it been since I have seen a woman¡¯s nudity... in person?
Maybe since Sadiz and I were still able to take a normal bath together...
¡°¡¾Canonico¨D¨D¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡ºUgh, child! What are you doing, you immoral brat!!¡»
At that time, I wasn¡¯t conscious of it. There was no doubt that it was an almost unconscious action.
However, I was astonished to hear Trainer¡¯s wrathful wail.
¡¸D, damn iiiiit! M, me of all people? Goodness sake, almost crossed the line!¡¹
¡º...... durd...¡»
That¡¯s how Instant Memory Magic was... no..... or rather, weren¡¯t you the one who taught me this magic and how to use it?
¡°Now, Earth. Pleasee here.¡±
¡°Un. Come. Un! Un!¡±
A chair in the bathroom. Somehow, it was golden, gaudy, and in very bad taste.
Maybe only Kron usually sat on this... huh? Kron sits here? In the bath? Of course, sitting naked... No, no, no, I feel like I¡¯m doing a lot of things that I shouldn¡¯t do...
¡°Yes,e on!¡±
¡°Un, scrub¡±
Ignoring my confusion, Kron and Amae sat me in the chair andthered my back with foam.
However, neither of them had any strength. It was weak. It was ticklish, unbearably ticklish.
¡°Is it itchy?¡±
¡°A little... itchy.¡±
¡°Un? Rub more... scrub scrub...¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s good, Amae.¡±
¡°Mufu ? Scrubbing ?¡±
Even so, she worked hard, so Amae is fine, but I couldn¡¯t help but be really worried that Kron, who wasn¡¯t hiding anything, would do that...
¡°Fufufufufu, this is fun.¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°This is my first time taking a bath with a boy.¡±
Kron was easygoing as she spoke happily without knowing my feelings.
¡°Hmm... W, well, taking a bath with the opposite sex is a very special matter...¡±
¡°Is that right? So, is it also very special for Earth now?¡±
¡°It¡¯s already... so much!¡±
¡°Then, today is special for me and Earth!¡±
Somehow, I¡¯m the only one who was nervous, but... if I were to look back here, Karui and my master would yell at me, so I¡¯m not going to turn around.
¡°I¡¯ve had a few talks with the men whoe to church, but... talking a lot like this and taking a bath... Earth is very trusted by Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
So I almost looked back involuntarily, but I didn¡¯t. I couldn¡¯t believe my ears when I heard Kron¡¯s shocking words.
Jamdi¡¯el trusts me?
¡°Jamdi¡¯el is very worried about me meeting men. So whenever I met people who came to the church, Jamdi¡¯el was always there by my side, and the only other people I could speak with were Machio and Bro, whom Jamdi¡¯el had given permission.¡±
¡°I, is that right?¡±
¡°Yes. Therefore, Earth is very trusted by Jamdi¡¯el to be able to talk in the bath together, in a ce without Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
Is it trust? I mean, when I was told, I wondered.
The other party was a person so revered she was called a Goddess.
Jamdi¡¯el, who believes in it, cannot easily allow a man to approach such an existence.
That¡¯s why I can¡¯t help but understand why she would allow it if it was someone she approved of.
But why I¡¯m allowed to do so was really a mystery to me.
After all, I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a connection between the fact that I can use the Breakthrough and Great Magic Spiral, and Kron...
¡°Un, back is done. Next. Front.¡±
At that time, Amae, who was at my back, got around in front of me. Huh?
¡°Ah... it¡¯s dingy.¡±
¡°...... Heh? ...... eh!?!¡±
Distracted by Kron¡¯s words, I forgot about Amae.
¡°Di di di, dingy Ah!? Hey, A, Amaaae!?¡±
Karui who had shyly shrunk in the corner of therge bath and washed her body by herself, burst out to the mutter of Amae.
¡°Dingy¡± that Amae muttered, or rather, that...
¡°Dingy? Good heavens! This is something that only boys have, right? Is it called Dingy?¡±
¡°Un. Dingy¡±
And in that moment, I turned to Kron and... oh, oooooooh!!??
¡°Wai, Goddess!? B, big brother, you, wh wh wha, what are you?¡±
¡°W, waiiiit! Hey, Amae, Kron! What are you looking at? Ah, don¡¯t look!¡±
Only this development was not expected.
Usually, when a man and a woman take a bath, a man is curious about a woman¡¯s body!?
Why are women more interested in my body?
Anyway, I hurriedly hid it¨D¨D¨D
¡°Dingy, Little¡±
¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deehh!!??
¡°Before this, I went to the bath with Uncle. Dingy, Don, big.¡±
I often hear the words, ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much because it¡¯s what a child says.¡±
I think it was rather the opposite today.
Because it was a child, they tell only the fact as they are without any care.
Therefore, it is true. In other words, my dingy is small...
¡°Big brother...¡±
¡°Ka... rui?¡±
At that time, Karui, who had been in the corner a while ago, came up to me with an instant foot, and gently tapped my shoulder with a terribly pitiful expression.
She had been blushing red and hiding from me, but now she hid her body with only a washcloth, and I wondered if her embarrassment was gone, or she was very full of charity.
¡°Big brother... that feeling, for girls... it¡¯s the same as being told your breasts are small, right?¡±
¡°Oh, is that right?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been there, too. I¡¯ve been there. To Amae... my boobs......pared to big sister... tiny...... but still... let¡¯s live strong.¡±
Oh, I see. I¡¯ll be kinder to Shinobu next time we meet. I¡¯ll praise her small breasts.
That¡¯s what I thought.
¡º...... Di ... Kukukuku ... Di, Dingy... Small ... Kukukuku...¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
And even though he turned away, his shoulders were trembling, and Tre¡¯ainar seemed to have guessed right on the situation.
Usually, I¡¯m the oneughing at Tre¡¯ainar, but this time I wasughed at.
Ku, i, it¡¯s embarrassing...
¡ºGoodness... kukuku, you cur... I intended to have a serious conversation concerning Kron, and Jamdi¡¯el , but.... Kukuku.¡»
In fact, it seemed that he wanted to talk after the bath, but apparently Tre¡¯ainar wasn¡¯t in the right mood any longer.
It was a morning that had me spinning in more ways than one.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you very much for your help.
Yesterday, this title was pinpointed with my impressions.
Behind the scenes I said, ¡°You thought it was Bath with the girls... but it is a men¡¯s bath festival with Budeo and friends! Just outrageous!¡± I thought about doing that, but I gracefully admitted defeat and posted it as it was. And then shaved all my nipple hair.
The real promise was, ¡°Even if there were warriors or magic schools from other countries in the new world, they would be ignored or looked down on, and still make a harem¡±, but I still felt like I lost, so I changed the position of the hair to be shaved.
And I won¡¯t lose again!
Also, thank you for the cumtive total and numerous drill injections yesterday.
Last night, when I got home, the drill was stretched and I ran up the rankings again for a day.
It may seem that it is awkward to say the ranking now, but I can¡¯t lie to the joy of this phenomenon of falling to the bottom of the earth and then running up again, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I¡¯m motivated again.
In 2019, I will be celebrating my 15th anniversary as a novelist, so I will do my best.
Chapter 116 – Intermission (Female Ninja) ②
Chapter 116 ¨C Intermission (Female Ninja) ¢Ú
Tranted by: Sads07
I awoke to find myself at the inn in Cantidan.
To the greatest failure of my lifetime. I was about to challenge Honey¡¯s past with my pride as a woman, but a demon suddenly intervened and kidnapped Honey.
Moreover, it was...
¡°Eh...... Jamdi¡¯el, former Six Supremacy and Great Demon General?¡±
¡°Ridiculous! Such a person ...¡±
There were so many shocking facts that I couldn¡¯t organize my mind either.
¡°Seriously... why... I was...... so close... right within reach!¡±
First of all, honey was the son of Hiro and Mamu, of those Seven Heroes.
That Honey had run away from home.
And that Honey was currently suspected of ¡°having a connection with the remnants of the Demon King¡¯s army¡±.
Then Honey was swallowed up by a ck vortex that suddenly appeared.
¡°But... the one who used that ck vortex magic... was it really that Jamdi¡¯el? Mamu... no, Mother-inw.¡±
¡°Yes. There¡¯s no doubting that magic power. The magic felt from the jet-ck vortex that covered the entire area... I know because we fought many times before... huh? Mother-inw?¡±
As Honey¡¯s mother, that would make you my future Ogibo-sama(Mother-inw).
Were it not for the current situation, I ought to be holding a gift to greet the other party.
But right now, Honey is my top priority.
¡°Tch, for that memento of bygone days to show up... My earth... My earth! And... ¡®her¡¯ as well...¡±
The one who was clicking her tongue in frustration was the princess of the Empire, Phianse-hime, who was knocked out along with me.
She wasn¡¯t ¡®Sadiz-san¡¯, who I believed in my heart was the obstacle that should be ovee.
However, she was Honey¡¯s childhood friend, a princess, and no matter how you look at it, madly in love with Honey.
The Emperor of the Empire was one of the Seven Heroes as well, and it was not unheard of for the children of the Seven Heroes to be married to each other.
However, even though Honey cut ties with the past and left home...
¡°But... if so...... no way... really, Earth... had a connection with the remnants of the Demon King¡¯s Army... absurd!¡±
One of Honey¡¯s childhood friends, who was so upset he hit the wall hard. Rebal, was it?
¡°That¡¯s a lie! There¡¯s definitely something going on! Earth¡¯s connection to the Demon King¡¯s Army... I definitely won¡¯t believe it!¡±
One of Honey¡¯s childhood friends, who had a childish face and yet raised a powerful voice. A child named Fu.
¡°Feh~... but, but in the current situation... what should I do...¡±
A girl who seemed timid and nervous, a former ssmate of Honey. Coman.
And.....
¡°Hmm, so that happened... apologies, Mamu. If I had known the circumstances, I would have held him down by force... nuo? Shinobu.¡±
¡°Uh, Mi, Mikado-sama...¡±
¡°Truthfully, there is plenty I¡¯d like to hear of from a runaway ninja like yourself, but... nheless, finding Earth¡¯s whereabouts is the priority for now.¡±
Mikado-sama, who was said to be the living legend of Japone.
The legends, the Seven Heroes, and the bloodlines of the Seven Heroes were all gathered in an inn at the town on the edge of the Empire, so I was a little nervous.
¡°So, Mamu. Where is Hiro?¡±
¡°That idiot is now... going in the opposite direction! He¡¯s sure that Earth... went to Inai City...¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s... the same as ever... it will take some time to join up...¡±
The name of that hero, Hiro, came out without hesitation, such an amazing lineup. I mean, Honey has quite a great family. As expected, my Honey.
But it didn¡¯t matter who his family was.
Because Honey is Honey.
Even if Honey was amoner, I wouldn¡¯t waver in this love.
¡°...... Hey, Grandpa...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
And Mikado-sama was called ¡°Grandpa¡±... by Mamu of the Seven Heroes... and Mikado-sama acted as if it was natural... this exchange seemed to be normal for Ogibo-sama and Mikado-sama...
¡°Grandpa... you saw Earth fighting, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Uh huh...¡±
¡°...... How was he?¡±
And in response to Ogibo-sama¡¯s question, Mikado-sama smiled and said ...
¡°While having great skills and power, he was never arrogant nor did he look down on the opponent...... an honest heart... he confronted his opponent with his eyes full of fighting spirit. He¡¯s not only strong. He draws in those who see him, and his thoughts are conveyed from his fists to the opponent he fights against... he was such a man.¡±
Those words seemed to be Mikado-sama¡¯s greatestpliment. And it was neither a mistake nor a ttery. Because here is a woman who had her heart stolen in that battle of Honey and swore her whole life to him.
¡°Honestly, I was surprised to hear that he used the Great Demon Spiral in the Imperial tournament... and I don¡¯t know how he can use such a thing... but I can tell you this much. This one... is fond of such young people.¡±
I don¡¯t know what happened to Honey without Ogibo-sama¡¯s knowledge.
However, without all that, Honey was as much a human being as I am.
I can understand what Mikado-sama was saying.
¡°I too am quite fond of Honey. We will get married and have children. The first is a girl. Next is a boy. The children¡¯s names will be...¡±
¡°Bitc-, hey! What are you saying thiste at night? Earth is mine! B, besides that¡¯s what I¡¯m all about! No matter what happens, I lo, love Earth!¡±
I was interrupted by the obstructive princess.... however, I can understand the feeling that being silent here was uneptable as a woman. ...... however, Rebal-kun had a bitter smile, he seemed somewhat sad... I see, so that¡¯s how it is!
But he also...
¡°...... I¡¯m the same. The power he wielded in our Match... I¡¯m sure it¡¯s power he gained at the end of his bloody efforts. Because we fought directly, I know. He... and I... fought squarely, and I waspletely overwhelmed.¡±
¡°Rebal...¡±
¡°I was angry when I heard that he had stopped following Hiro¡¯s path and quit being a Magic Swordsman... but...... he was strong... like when he was a kid... when he was always leading us...¡±
Opinions, not as a love rival, but as a childhood friend.
It seemed he considered Honey a precious friend, too.
¡°So am I!¡±
¡°To catch my de... eermm, Earth is an important ssmate.¡±
The same goes for Fu-kun and Coman-san.
Ara? For a moment, Coman-san¡¯s face ... well, must have been my imagination.
Anyway, apparently everyone is not a bad person.
So, it must mean that Honey had a huge falling out with them.
¡°Thank you... everyone.¡±
Ogibo-sama nodded with tears in her eyes to our feelings of Honey.
¡°Me too. Once again, with Earth... always. That¡¯s why I¡¯ll chase him wherever he goes.¡±
Saying that, wiping away her tears, Ogibo-sama stood up with powerful eyes.
¡°So what do we do now? To be honest, I¡¯d like to issue a notification to each country immediately, but if it involves Jamdi¡¯el, it will cause a panic, and the demon¡¯s side will be shaken...¡±
¡°Yes, but for now, we should report to His Majesty the Emperor and Hiro... and also, La¡¯iphant of the Demon Realm.¡±
¡°Well, oh, that¡¯s right. Thest person to meet Earth-kun... Bro Glenn-kun. He may know something, too. Let us hear what he has to say.¡±
Once again, a great name. Even the name of La¡¯iphant, the current Supreme Ruler of the new Demon Realm government and former Six Supremacy.
¡°Well, then I¡¯m... going where that ck vortex that swallowed Earth urred! If we examine the residual magic power, we may discover something!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, Fu.¡±
¡°I¡¯m going, too. And... I¡¯m also concerned about ¡®her¡¯. Maybe ¡®she¡¯ got involved...¡±
¡°Then, me too!¡±
Fu-kun, Rival-kun, Phianse-hime, and Coman-san all said what they needed to do.
¡°Hmm? ¡®She¡¯? Who are you referring to?¡±
And Mikado-sama, who had not yet heard of the situation, reacted.
Yes, Honey wasn¡¯t the only issue.
Ogibo-sama bit her lips...
¡°Actually, Sadiz was chasing Earth with us... after the ck vortex, when the darkness cleared, Sadiz was gone.¡±
Yes, she was missing, the woman I secretly believed in my heart to be the greatest obstacle.
A spontaneous and shocking scene in the bathroom.
I was having breakfast in the dining hall with a broken heart.
¡°He, heh~, that¡¯s what happened... I¡¯m sorry to hear that~?¡±
¡°Stop, don¡¯t pity me, Elder Sis Tsukshi.¡±
¡°Really, that Amae... even if, I see... Mr. Machio¡¯s...¡±
¡°Hey, your face flushed red, what are you imagining?¡±
I sighed as Elder Sis Tsukshi, who heard of Amae¡¯s cruel words in the bathroom, looked pitifully at me on the other side and her face was bright red with ¡®what¡¯ she imagined.
I¡¯m going to have to do some hard training to get rid of this heartbreak...
¡°Yes, but I think it¡¯s okay! Earth is a pretty nice guy, so girls won¡¯t even care about that!¡±
¡°Shut up! I mean, maybe I¡¯m normal! I haven¡¯t seen it, but Machio¡¯s lil-Machio is just Macho!¡±
¡°H, hey, shhhh. D, d, don¡¯t no talk about Mr. Machio¡¯s lil-Machio in such a loud voice in the morning!¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi doesn¡¯t understand. It¡¯s not a question of whether the woman cares or not.
Whether it¡¯s small or not, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s worried about it.
¡°Hmm. Tsukshi does have a loud voice!¡±
As I became aware of our surroundings, other sisters also gathered around with stunned faces.
¡°What are you talking about so early in the morning... so, what about Mr. Machio¡¯s lil- Machio? What about Earth¡¯s lil-Earth?¡±
¡°Wait, why are you curious!?¡±
¡°No, we¡¯re not, we¡¯ve nevere across, you know... we¡¯ve got a lot of...¡±
¡°N, not Mr. Machio¡¯s, that¡¯s no good!¡±
Why am I good?
I was a little nervous.
¡°Well, leaving that aside, and ¡®Dr. Eisha¡¯ is bringing the patient in any moment now...¡±
¡°Eh? Dr. Eisha?¡±
But that was enough joking around for now, as Elder Sis started talking with a slightly serious look.
A patient?
¡°Yes. Yesterday, an unidentified woman who had copsed on the beach was brought into the doctor¡¯s clinic, and she had been unconscious for a long time, but this morning she woke up.¡±
¡°Heh~...... did that happen?¡±
¡°Yes. But that person...¡±
And, Elder Sis stammered something. Hmm? What happened to the patient?
¡°Was she involved in an ident... that person...... said she doesn¡¯t remember.¡±
¡°Doesn¡¯t remember...?¡±
¡°Yes. So I want to talk to her about the future. Would you like toe?¡±
Amnesia. I¡¯ve heard of it before, but I guess it¡¯s a real thing.
¡°Yes... so, is that personing now?¡±
¡°Yes. To the auditorium with Dr. Eisha.¡±
¡°I see. Then I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi stood up in the middle of breakfast.
¡°That¡¯s awful. Elder Sis Tsukshi, does this church do that sort of thing?¡±
¡°Hmm, well, that¡¯s right. You see, we¡¯re orphans, and we¡¯re taking care of children without rtives or people with no other ce to go...¡±
It¡¯s tough helping people all morning...I thought...
¡°Uhun uhun, it¡¯s a lot of work, right?¡±
¡°Nuh!?¡±
Suddenly, Kron appeared from behind, and I couldn¡¯t help but look back.
¡°G, Goddess!? W, why are you here!?¡±
¡°Yes. I had my breakfast, so I came to talk to Earth right away, but it seems that will be difficult.¡±
¡°Oh, not at all, no need to worry, we will take care of it...¡±
Kron... or rather, the sisters seemed to be in a great panic because they were surprised that the goddess suddenly showed up in the dining hall.
I guess she doesn¡¯t usuallye down here.
And Kron...
¡°I¡¯m here to meet themb who has lost their memory and is filled with anxiety! I need to heal their heart and provide for them.¡±
¡°Eh, eh!? No, no, that¡¯s... I have to ask The High Priestess...¡±
¡°It¡¯s all right! Then, let¡¯s go, Earth as well.¡±
She smiled without listening to the sister¡¯s call for restraint, and held my hand for some reason... no, why?!
¡°Hold on, why me too!?¡±
¡°Earth, you feel pity for them, don¡¯t you? Then you can give a kind word.¡±
¡°No, I have nothing to do with...¡±
But no matter what I said, the hand that was holding me tight wouldn¡¯t let go, and Kron forcibly took me to the amnesiac.
Authors Note
Honestly...... I was worried about whether to do this in Part 4, but... enough is enough, I thought.
Chapter 117 – Relationship
Chapter 117 ¨C Rtionship
¡°It will ease the anxiety of the lostmb a little! Let¡¯s go, Earth!¡±
¡°Why me, too¡¡±
An amnesia patient.
In the first ce, I didn¡¯t know what it meant to lose your memory.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar. Is there magic that can bring back memories?¡¹
If the person had amnesia, I asked if it was possible to make them get their memories back.
And then¡¡
¡ºMagic to erase memories. Magic to regain memories erased by magic. Magic to read a subject¡¯s past memories. Such things exist. However, tis impossible to restore the memory of a person who lost their memory, for example, due to an ident or a strong impact on his head.¡»
¡¸Heh¡ is that so?¡¹
Then, is it impossible to restore the patient who was brought in this time by magic?
In which case, there wasn¡¯t a way to easily solve this problem with convenient magic.
¡ºThe brain is very delicate organ. If memory is lost due to an ident, it may remain in that state for life, or it may suddenly return at a moment¡¯s notice. Do not get too involved and leave it to the doctor and time.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was right.
It seemed the pure and innocent Kron was trying to encourage or help such unfortunate patients, but it¡¯s not something I should be too involved in.
¡°We¡¯re here!¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Maybe I can help her a little bit, but I also have work to do.
I¡¯m not going to waste my time on a stranger or ¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Oh, it¡¯s you guys. Sorry for your morning. See, this girl¡ oh, even the goddess!?¡±
¡°Ufufufu, how do you do!¡±
The moment I entered the auditorium, I was frozen the next instant.
¡°Good morning~. Dr. Eisha. So, is that her?¡±
¡°Good day to you too!¡±
An old woman in a white coat was in the auditorium¡ I think she¡¯s a doctor, but it wasn¡¯t the old woman, she¡¯s next to her¡
¡°Hey¡ Doctor¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°This person¡ who is it~¡¡?¡±
¡°Hmm? That I don¡¯t know, so what I¡¯m going to do is¡¡±
¡°You can tell just by seeing normally¡ this person¡ is quite strong~¡?¡±
Elder sis Tsukshi, whose cheeks sweated slightly, evaluated the woman who was there.
It¡¯s a mistake, right?
After all, she¡¯s there¡
¡°Good morning¡ that¡¡ I¡¯m sorry for inconveniencing you in the morning.¡±
A woman I¡¯m familiar with, who has been with me since I was born.
¡°Sadiz!!??¡±
There she was, Sadiz who I didn¡¯t expect to see in the first ce.
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°What? Are you acquainted?¡±
Eh? Why? Why is Sadiz? Acquainted? Not just an acquaintance¡ eh?
That? I, had to run away, but, oh, memory?
¡°Are you¡?¡±
And my chest was so tight that I couldn¡¯t believe it.
I remembered.
¡°Ah¡ ah¡ you¡¯re¡ ah¡¡±
Yes, amnesia. Oh, amnesia¡ because, it¡¯s impossible¡ when she saw my face, Sadiz suddenly¡
¡°Eh, uo, ah, eeeh, ah, aaaaaaahhh!?¡±
¡°Eh¡? Sa, Sadiz!?¡±
While I couldn¡¯t sort my head out at all, Sadiz immediately held her head down and began to suffer.
¡°Wh, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°C, calm down, are you all right?¡±
¡°Eh? Oh, huh? What should I do¡¡±
They are panicked by Sadiz, who was crying and in pain.
But I couldn¡¯t move right away and remained stunned¡
¡ºThat one¡ got her involved as well¡¡»
What do you mean, Tre¡¯ainar? Why? Why is Sadiz here?
¡°You¡ do, you know who I am?¡±
¡°¡¡ eh?¡±
Then, while still holding her head with a heartbreaking expression and tears in her eyes, Sadiz turned to me and asked.
Do I know you? I¡¯m not sure.
You¡¯re my¡ my¡¡ what?
Sadiz¡ right now is¡¡ my what?
¡°I¡¯m¡ sorry¡¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t understand¡ but¡¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Before I could get an answer, Sadiz slowly stood up and wobbled over to me.
She was so violently trembling, but her eyes were still staring at me.
I¡¯ve never seen Sadiz look like this before.
¡°I just don¡¯t understand¡ I¡¯m sure I did something to you¡¡ I¡¯ve done something to you¡ I really want to apologize¡ and¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡!?!¡±
And Sadiz hugged me slowly¡ firmly¡¡ and wouldn¡¯t let go¡ this warmth¡ this fragrance¡ oh, no, I¡ already cut off the past¡ I decided not to look back¡
¡°Why? I just, can¡¯t let you¡ never let go again.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
No.
I didn¡¯t want to hear any apologies.
I can¡¯t ept it anymore.
That¡¯s why I left the Imperial Capital.
It¡¯s not about whether to forgive or not.
It wasn¡¯t possible anymore.
That¡
¨D¨D¨D Don¡¯t! Father! Mother! Demon King killed, uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, everyone! Killed by the Great Demon King!!
Because I did that much to Sadiz¡ I made Sadiz that sad¡
¡°Erm~, do you know Earth?¡±
¡°What do you mean? Earth.¡±
What can I say about my rtionship with Sadiz now ¡ what ¡ but ¡ but!
¡°If you¡¡ don¡¯t¡ remember¡¡±
¡ºChild¡¡»
¡°Such a selfish¡ thing to say¡ bye.¡±
I cried enough. I got up. I made a vow. And yet, something like this happened!
¡°Earth¡.?¡±
¡°Earth? What¡¯s wrong?¡±
My heart was shaken. My eyes were burning. They were overflowing more and more.
I couldn¡¯t stop it anymore¡
¡°If you don¡¯t remember, don¡¯t apologize so easily!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah¡¡±
I twisted and pulled away from Sadiz, who was hugging me.
My vision was so clouded that I couldn¡¯t tell what was right in front of me¡. so unbing¡ shamelessly, I ranted and raved.
¡°You don¡¯t even know what you did wrong! You can¡¯t even remember! And right away, you¡¯re sorry? Drop the bullshit! Don¡¯t throw that out so easily! It was really painful¡ it was hard¡ my heart¡ it hurt¡ but¡¡ I¡.. I cut it off and moved on! Everything¡¡ I threw away everything I ever had¡ that¡¯s how I got back up!¡±
Kron¡ Elder Sis Tsukshi¡ the sisters¡ the doctor were puzzled.
But I didn¡¯t have the presence of mind to worry about it anymore.
¡°If¡¡ you don¡¯t¡ even¡ remember¡ then, don¡¯t throw it out! Why, why are you getting in my way?¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m so¡¡ sorry¡¡±
¡°Eh, I told you not to apologize! I don¡¯t want to hear those words¡ I ran away, but¡. why do you ignore my feelings and say that? Why¡¡ why¡¡ wh¡.. y¡.. is it¡¡±
What do you think I am? But I know. But I know, there¡¯s no way I could ask Sadiz that question right now.
Because the current Sadiz doesn¡¯t remember anything about me.
So, even if I say this to Sadiz, who was currently unstable, it would only confuse her. It would just hurt my heart.
To those around us, it could only be seen like I was cursing a weak woman.
But¡¡ this is¡¡ it was too much.
¡°Hoh~¡ never would I have expected this.¡±
At that moment, the voice mixed with darkness echoed in the auditorium with an intimidating chill.
Looking back, the person standing there was Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°Oh? Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s the High Priestess.¡±
¡°I say¡ ah, this girl is the unidentifieddy¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el walked past Kron, Elder Sis Tsukshi and the doctor, and came up to me and Sadiz.
Sadiz, who had no idea what was going on, was just flustered.
¡°Hmm¡ I feel obliged to give God an apology¡ the magic I imperfectly learned¡ it would seem that even those who I didn¡¯t want involved were brought along. I never realized the coordinates were out of alignment. Moreover, the spell is quite troublesome to operate¡¡±
I finally understood with those words.
I see, the magic that brought me here. Sadiz was also swept away by that.
However, Jamdi¡¯el herself hadn¡¯t noticed it.
Does the memory loss have anything to do with it? Was she sent to a different ce than I was? Did she get hit in the head?
I don¡¯t understand. There was only one thing I did know.
¡°In any case, Earth Lagann has me. And in three months¡ Fufufufu¡ our goddess¡ Fufu! Well, that¡¯s why. Be gone without dy.¡±
I understood. It¡¯s hostility. That Jamdi¡¯el was hostile towards Sadiz.
¡°Ah¡ Ah¡ Ah¡ eh?¡±
¡°Has thou no memory? In that case, it may have been fortunate to save us the trouble of eliminating thee.¡±
Thereupon, I wondered.
Until now, I had been struggling to find the right words to describe the rtionship between me and Sadiz, my heart and mind were messed up with emotions of anger and sadness, but at this moment I was not lost.
¡°Now¡ we¡¯re in the middle of¡¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Do not interfere.¡±
Next thing I knew, I was standing in front of Jamdi¡¯el.
On the beach, I was so terrified by the overwhelming difference in strength that I couldn¡¯t move. But now, I moved without thinking.
¡°Hoh~¡ thou can give such a sinister gaze.¡±
¡°Ah¡ well, I¡¯m just so irritated¡ I can¡¯t hit the person I really want to hit¡ it¡¯s too much¡¡±
¡°¡¡ brat¡¡±
The next moment, a crushing sense of intimidation came over me, as if my cheeky attitude got on her nerves.
Naturally, a tense atmosphere flowed through the auditorium, and Elder Sis Tsukshi and the others were also at a loss for words.
But¡¡
¡°Noo~¡¡ you¡¯re in front of a patient! Don¡¯t!¡±
¡°Nu!?¡±
¡°Hmm~¡ don¡¯t!¡±
¡°Huh¡ tsu, La, Lady Kron¡¡±
Without reading the mood, as if unafraid, Kron, swelling her cheeks, lightly put her hand on my and Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s heads.
¡°hey¡you, what do you think you¡¯re doing!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡±
¡°You heard me! Like I said, I¡¯m in the middle of something right now!¡±
The unexpected interruption¡ was Kron, unable to read the atmosphere with a carefree tone¡¡ I got even more irritated and shouted.
¡°Hold on, ah, Earth!? Wh, what did you say to the goddess!?¡±
¡°Wh, wh, what¡ th, this young man¡¡±
¡°Oi¡ Earth Lagann¡ thou is being impolite to Lady Kron¡¡±
Is the other party a goddess? A woman? Kron? I am well aware.
¡°It has nothing to do with her, leave¡¡±
¡°Earth¡±
The sheltered girl, who knew nothing, I almost shouted at her to shut up and leave. However, I choked on my words.
¡°Earth¡ calm down.¡±
¡°tsu¡¡±
¡°Earth¡±
¡°That¡¯s, because¡¡±
¡°Earth¡±
¡°Ugh¡ uo¡¡±
Certainly, I got annoyed with Kron¡¯s nonchnt words.
But I felt Kron¡¯s eyes, as she was calling my name, staring straight at me without looking away. They somehow had a strong will.
When she looked at me with those eyes, I strangely felt like an effeminate and miserable person.
¡°Well then! To calm down¡ let¡¯s all have an early morning tea time!¡±
Kron made a proposal with a smile, as she pped her hands together.
I didn¡¯t know what I was going to do or what I wanted to do, and before I realized it, I was stuck on the spot.
Chapter 118 – What’s to Come
Chapter 118 ¨C What¡¯s to Come
Tranted by: Sads07
Even though it was called early morning tea time, I didn¡¯t feel like I could have a refreshing morning now.
But that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m going to leave her to run away. Would I leave it to Jamdi¡¯el, who once showed hostility towards Sadiz?
I¡¯m still not rotten enough to do that, regardless of my doubts towards Sadiz.
¡°Well. So, Earth.¡±
¡°...... ah.¡±
¡°This person¡¯s name is Sadiz, isn¡¯t it?¡±
I sat down at the table in the dining hall, along with Kron, Jamdi¡¯el, Elder Sis Tsukshi, Olddy Eisha, and several sisters. We were all served tea as we talked and held a discussion.
I took a sip of my tea and nodded a little grudgingly to Kron , who started the conversation.
¡°Yes. This is Sadiz. 19 years old. In my country... she was working at my home... as a maid.......¡±
¡°Meyid...?¡±
¡°...... she does housework... and helps make the meals.¡±
¡°I see! So Sadiz is good at housework and cooking, is she?¡±
Kron nodded with interest while smiling, and the others responded with ¡°Heh~¡±.
The rtionship between me and Sadiz wasn¡¯t really just that.
Master and maid. It must have been different. The days we¡¯ve spent together were different.
But on the other hand, having abandoned it, I felt that it would be wrong to rephrase it now, and as a result, I was saying something nd about the rtionship between me and Sadiz.
¡°I served ...... you, didn¡¯t I?¡±
¡°...... I mean... to be precise, my father and mother... but you... well, took care of me...¡±
For a moment, I almost said, ¡°you cherished me like a brother.¡± But, I endured somehow.
To be honest, I felt like I might say something if I wasn¡¯t careful.
¡°I see. Then, how about Sadiz live here for a while when she settles down, cleaning the church, doing theundry, cooking meals and helping everyone?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±............ eh?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Ara? What¡¯s wrong? Everyone. Let¡¯s have a cup of tea and start off the day! Tsukshi, please teach Sadiz a lot of things.¡±
When I thought that I had to be careful, Kron¡¯s unexpected remark caught me and the others off guard.
I was surprised to hear that, because normally I thought she would be inquiring about me, since I had only given him a little information about Sadiz.
In fact, I thought the doctor, Elder Sis Tsukshi, and other sisters, who did not know much about my background in the first ce like, were ¡°prepared to ask and inquire¡± with that intention.
And yet, Kron wasn¡¯t talking about our past, but about how Sadiz, who woke up and lost her memory, would live her life.
¡°N, no, Goddess... first of all, we should learn more about Sadiz... in the first ce, I would rather we take the opportunity to learn more about Mr. Earth...¡±
¡°Eh? But we can always ask Earth about that at any time, so I think it¡¯s important to talk about Sadiz¡¯s life first.¡±
¡°Hah... erm, well, that¡¯s right~...? No, but, look, Earth and Sadiz... somehow... you can call it a rtionship under special circumstances... by Earth¡¯s reaction...¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi asked Kron in bewilderment.
After all, Elder Sis Tsukshi seemed to think that ¡°normally we should look into their past more¡± as I thought.
However, Kron had a vacant expression.
¡°But the most important thing is not what you have done in the past, but what you will do from now on, right?¡±
No...... she¡¯s not wrong... yeah, it¡¯s correct, but...
¡°And it seems Earth doesn¡¯t want to talk about it, does he?¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
¡°That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t give too much detail, right?¡±
Eh? No, um. That¡¯s not wrong either. That¡¯s why I chose my words with care.
But could this carefree, sheltered, natural-airheadeddy know that?
¡°I understand. I think there was a painful past for both Earth and Sadiz. I think it was very hard for them.¡±
¡°Hold on, w, wait. Don¡¯t make your own assumptions even though you don¡¯t know much about it...¡±
It¡¯s as if she could see through everything and judged me without my permission, which I didn¡¯t like.
I couldn¡¯t help but give Kron some harsh words.
¡°Then, you have no painful memories, only pleasant ones? Is that something you can say?¡±
¡°W, who! Why do I have to tell someone who has nothing to do with it?¡±
¡°Is that so? Then, isn¡¯t that what we are discussing here and now, what we are going to do from now on?¡±
¡°No... that¡¯s true, but...¡±
Eh? Am I? Is it me who¡¯s wrong? Me?
¡°I¡¯m sure Sadiz is having a hard time and would like to know what happened in the past, and I¡¯d love to hear from Earth if he can tell me. But I felt now wasn¡¯t the right time.¡±
At least, after a little more time... after calming down... it¡¯s like it putting off... the answer or the problem.
But at least now I could sort out my mind enough to answer the questions that are being asked.
In the first ce, the fact that Sadiz was here and she lost her memory.
Furthermore, in any case, Sadiz will be here for a while...
¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m only going to talk about what¡¯s toe. And I think Sadiz should work here for a while, resting her mind and body. Wouldn¡¯t it be fine with Jamdi¡¯el and Tsukshi?¡±
¡°Eh? No, but that...¡±
¡°I think that¡¯s fine~...?¡±
It seemed, by the flow of the conversation, Sadiz will be staying in this country for a while, and in fact, in this church.
It¡¯s not something I can oppose or express my opinion on, I was a freeloader yesterday.
¡°Thank you for your consideration. But... that...¡±
¡°Yes. And Earth?¡±
But she¡¯s also asking for my opinion.
Sadiz asked, ¡°Is it really fine when there are people who don¡¯t like me?¡± with concern.
Kron¡¯s genuine question.
I felt strange.
It¡¯s as if I¡¯m being tested to see what I¡¯m made of.
But do I disagree?
Or do I leave?
But can I allow Sadiz and Jamdi¡¯el to live together beyond my reach?
¡°I...I don¡¯t have any objections...¡±
In the end, I could only say such throwaway words in a daze.
¡°Well, Sadiz. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re going through a lot, but we¡¯re here to help you as much as we can, so please take care of us from now on.¡±
¡°Th, thank you... for your... help.¡±
In the end, no one couldin and Kron quickly rounded up the conversation.
Elder Sis Tsukshi also had a strained smile, but she nodded immediately and was ready to wee her.
As for me, all I could do was hold my head and wonder how it all came to this.
¡°Even so, for such a beautiful woman serve Earth~¡±
¡°Nuh...¡±
¡°As the goddess says, I didn¡¯t listen to everything right now... but...... Earth seems a bit naughty, and I¡¯m sure Sadiz had a tough time with you, didn¡¯t she?¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi threw a little jeer at me.
I¡¯m not sure what to say about that. I¡¯m sure it was hard for her.
¡°Ah, but then... I know Sadiz worked at Earth¡¯s house, but... what about Sadiz¡¯s family?¡±
¡°Family...?¡±
¡°Because Sadiz¡¯s family doesn¡¯t know that she¡¯s here, right? I¡¯m sure they¡¯re worried...¡±
¡°Well, they would be worried... even if it¡¯s... my father and mother....¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
When I answered Elder Sis Tsukshi¡¯s question, everyone had a stunned expression for a moment.
And.....
¡°Eh? By any chance...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Earth and Sadiz... are siblings? That? But she worked at Earth¡¯s house...¡±
¡°Ah, no it¡¯s wrong. Um...... ah~, Sadiz¡¯s parents are... already... well... so she¡¯s like an adopted child in my family...¡±
It¡¯s not simply that I don¡¯t want to talk about it, it¡¯s a past that¡¯s hard to talk about.
In addition, it was not easy to tell Sadiz, who has lost her memory, that ¡°her real parents are long dead¡±.
And it seemed that Elder Sis Tsukshi had guessed it by my current attitude, so she nodded and didn¡¯t ask any more.
However, one person was a little interested in it.
¡°Huh... in other words, thy parents took the girl in...¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh.¡±
It was Jamdi¡¯el. Jamdi¡¯el, who knew about my father and mother, seemed a little surprised that she was adopted.
¡°An orphan... but why would they do that? Such a thing would have beenmonce... why would thy parents, only take this girl?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s see. It was my mother¡¯s decision... I think. A long time ago, it was destroyed... where was it? I¡¯m sure it was called Shiznautmy...¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
That was then.
¡ºChild!!??¡»
Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent all this time, panicked and shouted to stop me, and Jamdi¡¯el...
¡°...... I see... huh... I see... then...... is that right...¡±
Jamdi¡¯el said nothing more in particr. However, she quickly stood up and turned away.
¡°Tsukshi¡±
¡°Y, yes.¡±
¡°Teach thedy on various matters. Do tell the others as well.¡±
¡°Oh, yes... I understand.¡±
¡°Then I shall go to the basement as I have a little work to do. I ask of thou to handle the rest.¡±
What? Jamdi¡¯el suddenly stood up and quickly left the room.
And, on her mouth, she had a curiously hoarse, chilling smile.
What is it? What did Jamdi¡¯el just react to?
Chapter 119 – The Past
Chapter 119 ¨C The Past
Tranted by: Sads07
The room assigned to me.
It had minimal furniture, a desk, and shelves with small and difficult books, such as the Bible.
In the morning, I did some road work, took a bath, had breakfast, and had tea time, so the bed sheets and change of clothes were still cluttered.
But I couldn¡¯t bring myself to sort it out just yet, so I sat on the messy bed and sighed.
¡°Sadiz... eh... the matter with me and her...¡±
I didn¡¯t think about it, I just naturally muttered to myself.
In the end, no matter how hard it hits, I would still be concerned about her.
And what¡¯s more, she will be living together with me in this church from today.
Naturally, we will meet face to face many times.
Even if she doesn¡¯t remember me, it¡¯ll be awkward.
¡ºOn that matter child... I was much too careless... I should have cautioned you...¡»
¡°Ah?¡±
¡º...... you should not have mentioned that maid¡¯s ruined birthce...¡»
That being said, I recall the conversation at tea time.
Certainly, I told that story to Jamdi¡¯el.
But what does that have to do with anything?
¡°Ah... you mean Sadiz¡¯s hometown that was already destroyed?¡±
¡ºBy my hands.¡»
¡°...... y, yeah... now that you mentioned it...... that¡¯s right. Somehow, itpletely slipped my mind...¡±
¡ºNo, no, no, the cause lies with you... well, be that as it may.¡»
I used the Great Magic Spiral in my match. However, it was actually the technique that Tre¡¯ainar used when he destroyed Sadiz¡¯s hometown.
Sadiz, who was there at the time, recalled those childhood memories, went crazy, and blurted everything out.
Certainly, that was a cause.
That said, I don¡¯t me Sadiz for reacting that way. In fact, I would be traumatized if my family and neighbors were killed right in front of me.
So, I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to me it on that, even if it was the cause.
After all, it was just the trigger.
The feud between me, my father and my mother has been umting for a while. It just exploded in that moment.
In fact, Tre¡¯ainar was also concerned about the Great Magic Spiral and Sadiz, but I didn¡¯t particrly care. And when I was running away from home and crying, it was a problem that me and Tre¡¯ainar had discussed and solved already.
So I didn¡¯t really care about that anymore.
So, why now?
¡ºJamdi¡¯el is now aware... that maid... is the survivor of Shiznautmy.¡»
¡°............? ...... what does it mean?¡±
¡ºAh... Jamdi¡¯el... at that time...... she also was there.¡»
¡°Eh!? Seriously?¡±
¡ºUh huh. And she is one of the few in the Demon King¡¯s Army.... to know the truth about Shiznautmy.¡»
An earnest expression. A heavy tone. That Tre¡¯ainar looked more serious than ever.
That alone made me feel that I was in a pretty troubling situation, I¡¯m just not aware of it.
¡°...... Shiznautmy... that much...... em...... was it an important ce? I¡¯ve only ever known Sadiz¡¯s hometown as a magical city...¡±
¡ºA city dedicated to mage research institutes and schrs... as such, it was a ce of some renown, but ... in general that is.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar purposely emphasized ¡°in general¡±.
Then......
¡°Then... was it different for you?¡±
¡º...... I... and a few of my Six Supremacy were aware of the truth... and among them was...¡»
¡°Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
Sadiz¡¯s hometown. I¡¯ve never heard of it from Sadiz herself.
My father and mother never talk about it, it was before I was born, and Sadiz didn¡¯t seem to be dwelling on the past.
However, I had only heard that it was the ¡°Demon King Army¡± that destroyed Sadiz¡¯s hometown. In reality, it seemed that it was the ¡°Great Demon King¡± himself.
However, as I had already run away from home, I didn¡¯t do anything to dig deeper into the matter.
There was a war between the Surface World and the entire Demon Realm. Then, it wouldn¡¯t be strange even if viges, cities, or whole countries perished in such a war.
Even though it was Sadiz¡¯s hometown, I felt ¡°what¡¯s the point of asking now?¡±. That¡¯s how it was.
But it seems that this is not the case.
¡°...... what was it? Shiznautmy... what happened there?¡±
So I had to hear the truth.
¡ºTis not so much the people of the Sorcery City, Shiznautmy ... tis thend... deep beneath thend... there lies the legacy of all beginnings... the people of Shiznautmy who happened to live there... discovered the legacy and set out to exploit it...¡»
It was a story that seemed so grand and yet so unfamiliar.
¡ºThe legacy is not something that can be so easily analyzed by schrs in the City of Sorcery, much less utilized, tis soplex that it would take thousands of years for humans with shorter lifespan than the demon race, so enormous and tremendous... yet...... with their half-baked knowledge, technical skills, and magic, they tried to reach for such an outrageous taboo...¡»
¡°Taboo?¡±
¡ºThe Legacy of All Beginnings... among them is... the power to revert everything zero...¡»
At this point, I couldn¡¯t think of what to respond with or what questions to ask.
To be honest, I didn¡¯t think that a story of such arge scale could be rted to Sadiz¡¯s hometown.
Although......
¡ºNevertheless, the city was destroyed. And by my hands...... by my Six-Gate eyes, the legacy was stringently sealed. The seal remains even after my demise. No longer could anyone reach the Legacy. Tis fortunate that the people of Shiznautmy did not share their research information with the entire human race. Perhaps the truth of Shiznautmy was iprehensible even to Hiro and the Seven Heroes. The only one who might have gained an inkling was ... perhaps Mikado...¡»
Yes, it was a city that was already gone, and Tre¡¯ainar seems to have dealt with that legacy, before the fall of the city.
Then there¡¯s no point in digging up that story now, is there? ...... I thought so for a moment, but then Tre¡¯ainar wouldn¡¯t speak about it with such a serious expression.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el...¡±
¡ºAlthough inferior to my Six-Gate eye... if tis her Heraldic eye... if tis only to lift part of the seal...¡»
¡°Then...¡±
¡ºI had severely admonished that one... my conviction was clear, and yet...¡»
I knew it. Then, no wonder Tre¡¯ainar looked so serious.
¡°Then Jamdi¡¯el could zero out everything...¡±
Then, Jamdi¡¯el has that ridiculous magic...
¡ºNo, tis not that. What Jamdi¡¯el took out and used... tis probably a different legacy.¡»
¡°Eh? Different?¡±
I was panicked for a moment, but I was told that it was different and I couldn¡¯t help but feel annoyed.
¡ºIndeed. The legacy that Jamdi¡¯el used is...¡»
¡°Earth, do you have a minute? I¡¯ming in!¡±
¡º¡±Nuo!!??¡±¡»
I was too focused on the conversation. A voice was calling me with a knock from the other side of the door.
It was Elder Sis Tsukshi.
¡°Oh, what? Elder Sis Tsukshi.¡±
¡°Yes, I think I¡¯ll help you clean up for a minute.¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi came in saying so, wrapped in an apron, rolled up her arms, and...
¡°...... Excuse me...¡±
¡°Eh... Sadiz.¡±
Sadiz, with a bucket and broom, appeared from behind Elder Sis Tsukshi.
¡°Earth, it¡¯s like you said, right? Miss Sadiz was doing housework and things like that.¡±
¡°Oh, yes... well...¡±
¡°But Miss Sadiz has lost her memory, so I thought I¡¯d try to see if she could do it properly... is Earth¡¯s room, okay?¡±
¡°Oh, sure... what...... that¡¯s... well then...... should I leave?¡±
¡°Yes. Would you mind killing some time? Visit the dojo or y with Amae?¡±
Until just before, I was talking about the history of the world, so I was shocked when they suddenly came in.
¡ºOi,e. Shall we continue the conversation at the sea?¡»
¡¸That would be good.¡¹
With my heart still racing, I walked past Elder Sis Tsukshi and Sadiz, trying not to make eye contact.
¡°...... Excuse me...¡±
Sadiz said something to me.
I kept my back turned, I didn¡¯t reply and I didn¡¯t stop.
It wasn¡¯t that I was ignoring her out of spite.
It¡¯s just harding face-to-face with Sadiz or exchanging words right now.
And then...
¡°Well, I¡¯ll start cleaning.¡±
¡°tte, Miss Sadiz!? Why are you suddenly crawling on all fours and peeking under the bed?¡±
¡°Eh...? Certainly...¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Erm... why I wonder? It¡¯s just that, the moment I tried to clean it, I had to check under the bed first...¡±
¡°tte, you say that, but why did you go to the bookshelf next?¡±
¡°Eh? ...... that? I¡¯m not sure why... I feel like something was hidden by camouging the spine of such difficult books...¡±
¡°So, now you opened the desk drawer... why? What could possibly be at the bottom of the drawer!?¡±
¡°Ah... eh? I don¡¯t know. However, I thought the drawer might have a double bottom...¡±
¡°While saying, why in the ceiling!? What sort of procedure is that!?¡± [1] [1]
The voices I heard from the room made me stop in the middle of the hallway.
¡°............¡±
¡º...... Child...¡»
¡°Don¡¯t say it...¡±
Right away, what I learned from Sadiz today is that even if you don¡¯t remember the past, your body will move naturally due to your ingrained habits.
Feeling that way, Tre¡¯ainar and I went to the sea again.
Author¡¯s Note
500,000 characters are achieved. I am not updating it every day, and the story that started in mid-May has so many characters at the moment, I¡¯m the one who worked hard. Well, rather than trying hard, it means that the author has that much free time... I don¡¯t n to go out with anyone on holiday...
It will be difficult to make 100 by the end of this year, but I would like to continue, so I look forward to working with you in the future.
[S1] Give it up Sadiz! You¡¯ll never find his Stash now!! Thank you ¡¾Canonicon¡¿!!!

Chapter 120 ¨C Overall Victory
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºMagical Biotechnology! My cells! And the power of the Great Demon necessary for the vessel! In other words, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s goal was to bring you and Kron together to have a child, and to make the conceived child the God of the next generation!¡»
¡°Wha... What the hell!?¡±
The true purpose of the former Six Supremacy, which is unknown to the Allied Forces, the Empire, and the Seven Heroes.
The shocking truth that Tre¡¯ainar deduced is...
¡°But I can¡¯t understand if it¡¯s too sudden! The exnation so far is too unclear, and I can¡¯t swallow the conclusion!¡±
¡º...... I suppose...... I thought so half way through. Even if given a simplified exnation, it will not be transmitted, and nevertheless I will have to give a drawn out exnation...¡»
¡°Especially... what was it? Gic information? Creating someone with simr cells? Is that Kron? ...... not good, I¡¯m hearing so many unknown words for the first time.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar talked about the past while looking at the sea.
¡°It¡¯s so grandiose that I can¡¯t really keep up with it. What the hell was that Shiznautmy?¡±
¡ºI said it, did I not? Tis not about Shiznautmy, but the legacy that existed beneath thend of Shiznautmy. Tis no skill or magic that the Shiznautmy settlers had created.¡»
After exining at length, Tre¡¯ainar finally told me with a terrible expression, but most of what was said was something that even I, who should be reasonably smart, could not understand.
¡°And what bothers me is... that...¡±
¡ºNu?¡»
¡°It was exined at length in a lot of words, but... really...... Kron... isn¡¯t your biological child... is she?¡±
¡ºNo! I have been single my entire life!¡»
¡°But there¡¯s a blood connection, right?¡±
¡ºRather, she is a being with the same gene.¡»
No good. I can¡¯t understand. But, I can say that Kron isn¡¯t just a demon.
Well, that Jamdi¡¯el is over-protective, calling her ¡°goddess¡±.
And although Kron is apparently not Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s biological daughter, she is the same as Tre¡¯ainar. This didn¡¯t make any sense.
¡°Hmm~, if you look closely... she doesn¡¯t resemble you... does she? Hmm...... I just met her this morning, and I didn¡¯t really look at her face.¡±
¡ºWell, the environment in which I grew up, what I learned, my experiences, tis all different...¡»
It¡¯s not that Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t recognize her or anything like that, it¡¯s that Kron isn¡¯t really his real daughter.
So, does that mean Tre¡¯ainar has been single all his life?
¡°Well, I still don¡¯t really understand the legacy that sleeps under Shiznautmy... for the time being, let¡¯s leave it... here¡¯s the problem.¡±
¡ºHmm?¡»
¡°Why is Jamdi¡¯el trying to marry me and Kron?¡±
Yes, that¡¯s the number one problem. I just didn¡¯t understand the reason.
¡ºTis not about marriage. Tis about conceiving a child.¡»
¡°It¡¯s the same! You have to get married to have children! A man and a woman who are tied together in love... um...... exchange diaries, dates... bing intimate and so on... you need enough ie to have a family.¡±
¡ºWhy is that? You are pure hearted only on such matters...¡»
¡°Wh, why sigh there!? What am I doing wrong now!?¡±
¡ºNo... tis fine. You were raised as such.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded to me with a tremendously warm look. I wonder if I¡¯m being ridiculed or treated as a child...
But still, my question itself shouldn¡¯t be wrong.
Why would I have a child with Kron?
¡ºTis simple. A person with the same gene as me... mates with someone who has inherited the skills and soul of the Great Demon... an existence with said gene and soul would be born... exactly, I would be. That is likely what Jamdi¡¯el desires.¡»
What she wants is not Kron, but a child born by Kron? Moreover, a child fathered by someone able to inherit Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s techniques and stuff?
¡ºThe current being named Kron is a form created so a soul may be installed into... tis so. No matter the extent to which the created organism possesses the same genes as me from my cells... tis not the same as me... or something to that effect, that is what Jamdi¡¯el is thinking, is it not?¡»
¡°Well, seriously? How does that make sense?¡±
¡ºPerhaps, the winner of the tournament in three months time will be the target, and Machio was a prime candidate. However, Machio cannot use the Great Demon Spiral or my other exemry Great Demon techniques. Then, Jamdi¡¯el discovered that you could use the Great Demon Spiral. Perhaps Jamdi¡¯el thought, rather than Machio, you were more suitable to have a child with Kron.¡»
¡°No, but I¡¯m human, doesn¡¯t that bother her? Also I¡¯m the son of the man who defeated her God, right? More or less.¡±
¡ºYou can use the Great Demon Spiral... tis a trivial matter in the face of that fact.¡»
To be honest, all we have talked about until now were only Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s own predictions. It remains to be seen whether Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s true purpose was really as Tre¡¯ainar says.
But if that¡¯s the case, even with Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s messed up thinking...
¡°No way... Elder Sis Tsukshi likes Machio, but she asked me to take the championship...¡±
¡ºShould Machio win, Kron and... would be the oue, I suppose she did not approve.¡»
Not good... somehow... I felt like the topic was starting toe together.
However, there was another doubt to be addressed there.
¡°But. Then, Jamdi¡¯el should teach Kron the Arcane True Zenith. Don¡¯t go out of your way to get her with an Arcane True Zenith practitioner and make them have a child. From that point of view, it¡¯s not perfect, but isn¡¯t that still faster?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el went to the trouble of taking in disciples, training them, and teaching Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s skills, even if in a half-baked way.
And, the best user among them is made to take Kron and have a child, and the child is raised as the next God.
Rather than going through such a roundabout way, Jamdi¡¯el should teach Kron directly from the start. That would be quicker.
Why doesn¡¯t she?
¡ºThat... there is a reason... although I cannot be certain yet, but...¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
With that said, Trainer became obscure on that point.
He had a slightly dispirited look on his face and didn¡¯t say any more, seemed he was not yet at the stage where he could tell me.
In other words, Treina¡¯s prediction was that one way or another, Kron will have a child with the winner of the tournament.
But, if that¡¯s the case...
¡°Huh? Wait a minute. If the story so far is true... then if I...... win overall victory at the tournament... Kron and... d, do that, is it? Ah, that...¡±
¡ºThat would be Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s intention, would it not?¡»
¡°Wh, at...¡±
No, no, not at all, how is it OK to do something so absurd?
Kron and having kids? Does that mean marrying Kron?
But can I be a parent to a child?
I thought of such things when I talked with Shinobu.
I mean, I haven¡¯t given Shinobu my answer yet, yet I would have a child before answering her.
No, Kron may be pretty cute, but... that nude body of hers that I saw in the bathroom. Involuntarily Canonicon... if I¡¯m told that could be mine, certainly... but then Shinobu is also beautiful... well, they both lose to Sadiz in bust size and.... eh?!
¡°Nooooh!¡±
At that moment, I head-butted the sandy beach as hard as I could.
¡°Damn... why am I even thinking of Sadiz at this point~?¡±
No, I know why.
No matter the moment, Sadiz was my first love, my one-sided crush and the period of wild fantasies has been going on for a long time.
Love, marriage, child-making, and when ites to such topics, she would eventuallye up after all.
¡°I meant to win the championship, but... marriage and children?¡±
¡ºLeave the matter of marriage aside... but on the subject of conception, what troubles me is... in three months time... even if you defeat Machio, I do not expect you would gain the strength required to resist Jamdi¡¯el. You know what that means, do you not?¡»
Yes, even if I grow strong enough to win the championship, I won¡¯t have the power to go against Jamdi¡¯el.
In other words, when the timees, I will be forced to do it.
¡ºCur... if Kron is to your liking as a woman, then there is no harm is such events, you may even consider it a perk.¡»
¡°No, no, no way! That... that¡¯s something I just can¡¯t... I would feel sorry for the child I¡¯m born with.¡±
¡ºO, oh, i, is that so... well, however... that said, should you lose the tournament... you, who are no longer of use, would incur the wrath of Jamdi¡¯el...¡»
¡°That would be too unreasonable! Is she the devil!?¡±
¡ºShe is a fallen Seraph...¡»
There were various sudden devastating facts, situations, and information, and I was somewhat exhausted.
Just purely pursuing strength and winning the tournament.
That didn¡¯t seem to be enough, but I didn¡¯t know what to do, so I was staring at the sea with Tre¡¯ainar for a while.
But in the end, all I knew was that I still had to get stronger either way.
Chapter 121 – What You Want
Chapter 121 ¨C What You Want
Tranted by: Sads07
There¡¯s nothing worse than training while your mind is wandering.
After talking on the beach, my training startedte, and I decided to start right there.
With Tre¡¯ainar checking on me, I took a yoga pose and focused my attention. However, I couldn¡¯t help letting my mind wander.
¡ºYou are sorelycking concentration.¡»
¡°It¡¯s hard...¡±
Even the pose was wobbly and disorganized. I just couldn¡¯t concentrate and my mind was getting distracted.
If I win the tournament, I¡¯ll make a child with a girl I just met. However, when thinking about it, Shinobu and Sadiz kept going through my mind.
¡ºMy oh my... tis what makes you an amateur at romance...¡»
¡°Nu!? No, but if you¡¯re a lifetime bachelor, that makes you a beginner at love!¡±
¡ºMu, su, such may be true, but even though I had no special partner, I was adored by hundreds of thousands, even millions!¡»
¡°I guess that Jamdi¡¯el came to be as a result!¡±
The training is interrupted due to our trivial quarrel.
I shook my head as this wasn¡¯t working, I just couldn¡¯t get into the mood.
¡ºIn any case, if youck the fortitude to draw out a certain level of ability in any mental state, no matter how much ability you acquire, will you be unable to make the most of it? In fact, if you go out into the world, you will witness the cruel and tragic reality that can mentally break you. However, if you remain concerned over mere rtionships with the opposite sex, would I not fear for the future?¡»
¡°Ugh, you¡¯re right...¡±
¡ºTis so, the Magical Breathing cannot be mastered by one who is in constant turmoil, now can it? Tis a technique of such extreme difficulty that not even Jamdi¡¯el could learn it.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s right, my worries may be very ridiculous.
But, they¡¯re still more than enough for me to be distracted right now.
I couldn¡¯t grasp the right moment to settle my mind, so I sighed and looked at the sea.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, neither can I!¡±
¡ºMy goodness...¡»
I stood up, scratching my head, quit yoga without permission and started shadow sparring on the spot.
I wasn¡¯t very conscious of my form, and didn¡¯t particrly imagine an opponent. I just punched right in front of me, as if to shake off my pent-up feelings.
¡ºHmm, the shadow fits the asion. Like that maid, it seems you have mastered the movements to aplete degree.¡»
A crisp left jab. A right hook that sent dust flying.
However, this alone cannot reach the Six Supremacy.
There was still a difference. Overwhelmingly.
But still, now that I¡¯ve abandoned the magic sword, I have to fight with this fist.
For that purpose, I didn¡¯t have time to dawdle over nonsense.
¡°Damn...¡±
Pathetic. Not only power, but also my heart was weak, I fell into self-loathing.
That¡¯s what I¡¯m...
¡°Ji~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¡±
¡°Uowa!?¡±
Before I knew it, there was someone hiding behind a tree on the beach, staring at me.
Because the horns were protruding, it¡¯s clear who the culprit was.
In a way, the ¡®third¡¯ party I didn¡¯t want to see at the moment suddenly appeared, and I turned my head.
¡°What are you doing, Kron...¡±
¡°Ara, I¡¯ve been discovered. But don¡¯t worry about it, please continue.¡±
How long have you been there? Were you listening to me talking alone?
¡ºRest assured. She was not present during our conversation.¡»
In the meantime, Tre¡¯ainar assured me that she had not heard anything important, but I was still a little nervous.
Because if I win the tournament, we¡¯ll...
¡°No, just, what are you doing, you...¡±
I mean, what are you doing in the first ce?
The cherished goddess was alone. no.....
¡ºDo not be there. Not in the sky.¡»
I don¡¯t dare look up. But right above me. I felt a presence in the distant sky.
A winged woman was watching from a distance, close enough to swoop down at any time if anything happens.
However, the fact that she¡¯s watching at a distance in this way means that me and Kron are officially authorized to talk to each other.
Then Kron, who had been hiding behind a tree, smiled and showed herself.
A basket in hand that seemed stuffed full of something.
¡°I brought Earth¡¯s lunch. I thought we could eat it together.¡±
¡°Eh...?¡±
¡°Fufufu, Jamdi¡¯el really seems to trust Earth. She wouldn¡¯t usually allow me to appear in public so lightly, but this time she even said, ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m a littlete.''¡±
Kron smiled without any doubt. Perhaps Jamdi¡¯el wants us to get closer like this so that we can have children smoothly without any problems after I win... but if she¡¯s so tant about it, what if I really can¡¯t win the tournament?
¡°Earth¡¯s movements... I was watching.¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, right...¡±
¡°It was so beautiful. Ko, Pyu, Pyu, Bun! Like that!¡±
Kron excitedly tried to punch me by imitating my shadow. That alone made it clear that Kron herself has not been trained.
¡°Can I see more?¡±
And Kron asked so with carefree eyes. The look in her eyes made me feel ufortable, so I turned away.
¡°No, it¡¯s not interesting to watch.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s very nice. It¡¯s as fast as lightning, and it blows wind like a tornado. You move beautifully like a dance, so I could watch it forever.¡±
Even though I looked away, they were still staring at me. It¡¯s embarrassing.
I shadow sparred to hide the embarrassment.
Kron sat on the beach and kept watching gleefully.
¡°Earth is...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
However, Kron spoke to me halfway through. I answered her bluntly without stopping my hands.
¡°Why is Earth working so hard?¡±
A simple and pure question.
Why am I trying so hard?
The answer is simple.
¡°To get stronger.¡±
¡°Why do you want to be strong?¡±
¡°Because I¡¯m a weak, helpless bastard who can¡¯t do anything... I want to be strong enough to aplish something. That¡¯s all.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Kron nodded again and again, smiling at my answer.
Are you satisfied with this answer?
No, not at all.
¡°Earth is... a liar.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Because that¡¯s not all, is it?¡±
Her abrupt words stopped my hand.
¡°No, I¡¯m not lying...¡±
¡°No. I understand. I think what Earth really wants is something different.¡±
As if somewhat sure, Kron affirmed with a smile.
¡°Hey wait a minute, what¡¯s with the sloppy... just, then what do you think I¡¯m doing this for?¡±
¡°That remains to be seen. But I think what Earth really wants is not just strength, but something more.¡±
For my part, I really didn¡¯t mean to lie.
¡°It must have something to do with Sadiz.¡±
¡°Wh... at?¡±
So Kron said, ¡°What?¡± and I was a little upset that the girl I had just met today knew that in the first ce.
But...
¡ºHou¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°......?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar nodded at Kron¡¯s words, somewhat impressed.
That reaction from Treina, who now sees me more than anyone else.
In a way, it¡¯s like saying Kron¡¯s words were not wrong, and I couldn¡¯t help but react.
That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t ignore Kron¡¯s words as just foolish, and I had no choice but to listen to them.
¡°Why... do you think so?¡±
¡°My intuition.¡±
¡°Intuition!?¡±
¡°Yes. So if you could tell me a little more about Earth, Earth¡¯s past, the people Earth has spent time with so far, the people Earth has met so far, I might understand more...¡±
Are those words saying, ¡°Tell me about your past¡±?
In the dining hall, she didn¡¯t try to dig the root, about me, Sadiz ...
¡°Well, leave that for now, aren¡¯t you hungry now? Here, a sandwich for you~!¡±
I was about to put up my guard, but Kron didn¡¯t particrly try to pursue it, opened the basket she had and showed me a sandwich that would be enough for two people from inside.
¡°This...¡±
¡°Yes, they made it for me.¡±
Apart from that, it wasn¡¯ t handmade by Kron.
But the sandwich she showed me. Just by looking at it, I recognized it immediately.
¡°Ah... the one who made it... you don¡¯t have to tell me.¡±
Yes, naturally I would know.
How many years have I eaten this...
¡°Yes. Please enjoy it as much as you want~¡±
¡°............ I...¡±
¡°Aaah, here~¡±
¡°No...¡±
¡°Aaah¡±
And I hesitated because I knew who made it.
However, Kron offered it to me as if she didn¡¯t know my feelings or didn¡¯t mind knowing it.
She doesn¡¯t even know what I¡¯m thinking, and it¡¯s kind of annoying. But it¡¯s cute...
Losing to the push, I reluctantly received the sandwich I had been offered.
¡°I can eat it myself¡±
¡°Ara¡±
¡°Geez...¡±
Hesitating for a few seconds, I gave up and ate the sandwich.
And the moment I took a bite, I suddenly froze.
¡°...... Ah...¡±
Originally, sandwiches only tasted like bread and ingredients.
However, the sandwich that ¡°She¡± made was an exception.
I once ate a sandwich at a cafe in the Imperial City, but I wasn¡¯t impressed.
Since then, I¡¯ve only eaten sandwiches that she made for me.
¡°... ts.....tsu...¡±
¡°...... Earth?¡±
I¡¯ve been eating this since I was a kid.
Why? It hasn¡¯t been that many days since I left home.
However, I really missed the taste of this sandwich.
The fluffy texture of bread. The crispy lettuce. The original sauce smeared on ham.
¡°Is it good?¡±
¡°...... ou...¡±
I couldn¡¯t twist it and say things like ¡°it¡¯s bad¡± or ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it again¡±.
¡°Well, I agree... Hmm~! It¡¯s wonderful! It¡¯s really delicious! I¡¯ve never had such a delicious sandwich!¡±
¡°...... is that so...¡±
If I had been alone, I might have cried.
However, because Kron was here, like hell I would ever cry, I welled up my tears and suddenly endured it.
¡ºMy oh my... such determination... yet still a sentimental heart ... as ever.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar?
¡ºBut... what does the child truly desire...? To be sure, obtaining strength is but one means of acquiring it. To see through you so easily, tis pretty sharp, albeit a copy.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar muttered, as he looked at me and Kron with a sad expression, and looked up at the sky.
¡ºWell, in any case... whatever the child¡¯s desires, if that maid is of genuine Shiznautmy lineage, there is a possibility of awakening ¡®that power¡¯... and Jamdi¡¯el will attempt to obtain it... thus, tis now to the level which even after winning the tournament three monthster, the child must fight against that... but!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar seemed to have decided something in front of me, I was a little shaken.
¡ºI will not allow everything to go ording to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s ns! I would have them disrupted by all means. That one vited mymand!¡»
With that deration, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes, as he scowled at Jamdi¡¯el in the sky, were somewhat aggressive.
Authors Note
I have mentioned it several times before, but I would like to say it again after a long time.
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s gender is ¡°left to the readers¡¯ individual judgment¡±.
Chapter 122 – Warm and Fluffy
Chapter 122 ¨C Warm and Fluffy
Tranted by: Sads07
After I had gone through the whole training session at sea, it was quitete.
In fact, I could have pushed myself further by the sea as it was, but it was about time the sses were over for the Wizarding School.
Maybe Mortriage¡¯s crew will arrive soon.
So, I thought we should go back immediately, and as Kron and I were walking toward the dojo on the way home, we heard a voice echo through the town.
¡°Ah! My Goddess!¡±
Along with the sound of someone shouting, nces gathered all at once.
¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s the Goddess!¡±
¡°What a lovely day this is! I never thought I¡¯d see the Goddess outside other than the day of the congregation!¡±
¡°T, trully, how... How beautiful!¡±
That¡¯s right, she¡¯s a goddess.
On the way back to the church from the beach, I felt that as I passed through the town.
¡°Good day to you everyone!¡±
In the busy Central Street, which was crowded, people split to the left and right in an instant, and everyone knelt, bowed, and their eyes were shining.
Are you really that grateful?
However, the people were delighted when Kron simply smiled and waved.
¡°See, Earth should also smile and wave to everyone.¡±
¡°Who should do that?¡±
I mean, I might attract some weird attention, so let¡¯s just walk away...
¡°Un~~~~!¡±
¡°Hmm? Goho!?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
From across the open street, a little girl rushed over and dove towards my belly.
¡°Huh, Amae?¡±
¡°Mu~...¡±
Amae suddenly jumped in without greetings. She looked somewhat upset, and her cheeks were puffed.
¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°... you left on your own...¡±
¡°Ha? No, that¡¯s not...¡±
¡°Only the Goddess with you... were you ying together?¡±
¡°No, just some training. What? Did you want to y?¡±
¡°Uh~¡±
Oh, is that it?
She¡¯s so cute, getting jealous of a goddess that everyone worships.
¡°Some other time,ter. I have to train at the dojo again, so I¡¯ll see you after that.¡±
¡°Un...¡±
Amae was staring at me like, ¡°Really~?¡± or ¡°You promise?¡±
Somehow, I¡¯m not sure how I feel about this, but I¡¯m relieved that she¡¯s so fond of me.
Sadiz was like an older sister to me, so is this how it feels to have a younger sister?
¡°Ara ara, Amae, how do you do?¡±
¡°Ah... Goddess...... Good day to you.¡±
Oh, even children know what to say here?
Amae let go of my waist, as she clung to me, corrected her posture, and bowed her head.
But Amae quickly turned around and grabbed my hand and pulled.
¡°Come¡±
¡°Woah okay! Don¡¯t pull.¡±
Well, she gave the least amount of greeting, but maybe she¡¯s jealous of me being taken. I came to be pleased with myself.
And then......
¡°Ufufufu, Amae is good friends with Earth~. Then I shall join hands too!¡±
¡°What!?¡±
With that said, Kron reached out.
No way, do you mean to hold hands with me in such a public way?
That¡¯s bad...
¡°Yes, Amae. Let¡¯s hold hands.¡±
Ah, it¡¯s not my hand that will connect, but Amae¡¯s other hand.
¡°Ah!?¡±
Suddenly, Kron held her hand, so Amae seemed quite surprised.
But......
¡°Yes, we¡¯re swinging to and fro!¡±
¡°Ah... oh... Oh!¡±
Kron smiled and swung the hand connected to Amae back and forth like a cradle.
Amae was confused at first, but she began to swing herself to see if it was fun.
¡°Un, let¡¯s do it together!¡±
¡°Ha? Me, too?¡±
¡°Un! Swinging~!¡±
Amae, who was pleased, swung my hand, which was holding hers, as well. Three of us walked while holding hands, with her sandwiched between me and Kron.
What is this?
I mean, won¡¯t someone say something about me doing this with the goddess the people worship?
¡°Wait, what? They¡¯re being rude to the Goddess.¡±
¡°They can¡¯t be that familiar with our Goddess...¡±
¡°That kid too!?¡±
You see.
But......
¡°That man was fighting Machio yesterday...¡±
¡°She¡¯s Amae from the church, isn¡¯t she? Was she such aughing child?¡±
¡°Yes... I think so.¡±
¡°Yeah, just looking at that is somewhat...¡±
Huh? At first, their eyes used me of being a ¡°rude guy¡±, but that disappeared in an instant, and on the contrary, more and more people started to look at us with warmth, or rather, a kind of ......
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Warm and fluffy~¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
It¡¯s warm!?
I mean, if we were walking around like this, we¡¯d look like a group of close siblings...
¡ºWrong, rather it transcends that... as close as.... family?¡»
Whoa whoa, Tre¡¯ainar. You can¡¯t say that.
I¡¯m still 15.
Generally, it¡¯s as if me and Kron are a married couple and Amae is like our daughter.
Ignoring Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s silly jokes, the three of us made our way through the cozy town and headed for the dojo.
¡°Yes, Earth! Let¡¯s give Amae a swing.¡±
¡°Ha? Swing?¡±
¡°Yes, the two of us will lift Amae up like this.¡±
¡°Ah, ah... like this?¡±
¡°Yes! And do this, swish swush!¡±
From both sides, Kron and I pulled Amae¡¯s arms and lifted her.
Amae¡¯s legs were floating in the air. With her legs pping, sheughed excitedly at us.
¡°Kyahooooooo!¡±
Amae was shouting the loudest she¡¯s ever shouted.
¡°Ufufufufu, is it fun? Amae?¡±
¡°Hey, are you in a good mood?¡±
¡°Kyahooo! More, do more!¡±
We walked while doing such a thing...
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uh huh, just get married.¡±¡±¡±¡±
Somehow, the people around us were talking and whispering about something, but it was a little embarrassing and ufortable.
But after enduring the stares, we finally arrived at the dojo, and what was waiting for us was...
¡°Everyone, do your best... ka... ara?¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°What in the?¡±
We showed up at the dojo, but there was no one on the first floor.
Dumbbells, barbells, skipping ropes and other things, which some people seem to have been training with just a while ago, were scattered on the floor, but no one was there.
But soon from upstairs...
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Uooooooooh!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
The whole building trembled with resounding voices.
¡°Is everyone up there?¡±
¡°Looks like it.¡±
Everyone was upstairs. But what¡¯s going on if they¡¯re all up there?
So we went up the stairs...
¡°Amazing, that Miss.¡±
¡°Yeah! Well, Tsukshi can¡¯tnd a solid hit at all!¡±
¡°Tsukshi is the third strongest person in the dojo after Mr. Machio and Bro!¡±
¡°What¡¯s more, she and Karui are working together! Karui¡¯s non-stop unperceivable movements... is she seeing through it!?¡±
Not upstairs. It¡¯s the ring on the third floor.
Someone must be sparing today, just as me and Machio sparred yesterday.
And the resounding cheers.
When we arrived on the third floor, the ring was surrounded by a lot of people, and on top of that, the ones who were fighting...
¡°This... ah... Mortriage... those guys too...!?!¡±
On top of the ring, ¡°seven men and women¡± were fighting... it seemed.
Mortriage, Oratsuki, Mobner and Budeo, were kneeling, fainted or copsed on the ring.
And.....
¡°Hah, hah... Arcane True Zenith, Full Thrust! Seiya!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going all out, too! Magical Sprint!¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui were attacking a woman with two-on-one.
The two of them are standing upright with nonchnt faces...
¡°Then, I will capture you.¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±
She passed between them in an instant while maintaining her straight posture.
Then, at the next moment, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui had their hands and feet tied with a skipping rope.
¡°Wow!? H, how!?¡±
¡°Ge, ge!? Amazing! When did you tie them up!?¡±
The two tied up people fell rolled around on the ring as they were.
I wonder what it was... it felt nostalgic to me...
¡°I didn¡¯t even think about it, my body just moved naturally....... I could do this too...¡± [1] [S1]
Sadiz nodded expressionlessly, without one heavy breath, without a single bead of sweat.
Maybe she borrowed Elder Sis Tsukshi¡¯s clothes, or rather, I saw Sadiz in half-sleeves and shorts for the first time.
Her bare legs, thighs and crisp buttocks!?
Huh, no, no! What¡¯s this stimtion......
¡°Amazing! Six-on-one with no hands or feet!¡±
¡°Ms. Sadiz, was it? So cool!¡±
¡°I¡¯d love to be like her...¡±
¡°Beautiful, cool, and strong...¡±
¡°From what I¡¯ve heard, her housework in general is perfect and she¡¯s a great cook!¡±
¡°Yo, marry me!¡±
¡°By all means... By all means, be my bride!¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t try to get ahead of me! It¡¯s me!¡±
The guys at the dojo were just as excited as I was.
Everyone, regardless of male or female, was shouting their admiration for Sadiz.
¡°Amazing... to think there was such a woman...¡±
¡°What a ...... hottie.¡±
¡°Somehow, I¡¯m thrilled.¡±
¡°Mwah! I want to be looked down on with those eyes and stepped on some more!¡±
Mortriage and the guys rolling in the ring also got up, with bitter smiles, blushes on their cheeks, saying kinky things...
¡°Amazing! Yes, Ms. Sadiz! To think I¡¯ve beenpletely beaten! Can I call Big Sister Sadiz from now on?¡±
¡°Inya~, amazing~! I mean, why are you so strong!?¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui, who lost, had glimmering eyes.
Sadiz grabbed the hearts of many people in an instant while I was not around.
¡°Ufufufu, she¡¯s amazing, Sadiz....... Hmm? Earth?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Watching the scene, I couldn¡¯t help havingplicated feelings.
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
I was supposed to feel so warm and fluffy, but what was this feeling?
I decided to leave the third floor, where the excitement was still stirring, and continue my training, trying to dissipate something I didn¡¯t understand.

Chapter 123 ¨C Homework
Tranted by: Sads07
Sadiz was called a genius.
Even though she was just a kid, the four of us, me, the princess, Rebal, and Fu, were easily beaten by her.
From the time she was at the Academy, it was said that she would eventually be a World-ss Warrior of the Empire.
So, of course, there were a lot of guys who courted Sadiz.
¡°Sadiz. I had a new horse bought for me. The same bloodline as that magnificent Monday Silence Race Horse, would you like toe and see it?¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t run off! Hey, Sadiz, actually, I got tickets to the theater from my dad. They¡¯re special seats. Would you like to go with me?¡±
¡°Hey, Sadiz. Sadiz may be the top girl and the top of the grade, but I¡¯m the top boy. Why don¡¯t we train together in order to reach greater heights?¡±
How long has it been?
When Sadiz was attending the academy, I ¡®happened¡¯ to pass by the academy¡¯s gate and saw Sadiz, who was gathering a crowd of people around her as she left school.
Strong, smart, beautiful and popr.
When I saw that, I got impatient.
What are you guys doing?
I¡¯m the one who knows Sadiz best.
I¡¯m the one who lives with her.
I¡¯m the one who¡¯ll be with her forever.
It was simply the jealousy of a kid. I was like that, but Sadiz replied expressionlessly to the boys around her.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have ns.¡±
Without showing any sign of thinking, she answered back.
The men were dumbfounded. Clearly, there was no hope.
Such a cold, arrogant attitude wouldn¡¯t usually be appreciated.
But......
¡°Ms. Sadiz looks lovely today too.¡±
¡°So cool, beautiful, and noble in her istion.¡±
¡°What kind of person could win her heart?¡±
¡°It would have to be a high ranking Warrior... no, it must be Royalty from another country.¡±
¡°She has inherited the teachings of Hiro and Mamu.¡±
¡°I want to call her sister already!¡±
¡°Even if I know I¡¯ll be rejected, I¡¯ll at least ept... just a love letter!¡±
Women of the same gender who show admiration...
¡°No, she standoffish... but that¡¯s fine~!¡±
¡°Ugh, I¡¯d love to have her as my wife...¡±
¡°You can¡¯t do that. You can¡¯t have her.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never asked to go on a date.¡±
They were rejected, and not taken seriously, but still, no man gave Sadiz a suspicious look.
As I peeked through the Academy gate, I realized once again that Sadiz was very popr.
¡°Oh? Little man!¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
As I hung my head a little, Sadiz, who had noticed me, ran up from the other side.
¡°Little man, is school over? Anyway, why are you here ...um? Hmm~? Hmm~?? Ufufufufu~¡±
She looked at me, strangely seemed to wonder why I was there, but Sadiz immediately grinned with a nasty smile.
¡°Wh, what is it...¡±
¡°Did youe to pick me up, by any chance, Little man?¡±
¡°No way!?¡±
Correct answer. But I tly denied it.
¡°Y, you¡¯re wrong! After school, I thought I¡¯d go on a little detour, and I happened to be at the Academy Street and just peeked a little bit at the future, so it¡¯s not like I was wondering if Sadiz was with someone I didn¡¯t know or anything like that!¡±
I was already talking too fast. Sadiz suppressed her expression and turned to face the other way.
¡°I, I understand... Li, little man... enough is enough. So, any more than that... t, too cute...¡±
Are you muttering andughing?
I thought I was being made fun of for being too transparent, so I sullenly bowed my head.
¡°Ugh... fo, forget it already. Sadiz dummy!¡±
¡°Hmm... his angry face too... Hah~...... this is why I can¡¯t have any shred of interest in boys my age...¡±
I was about to sulk and run away.
But before I could, Sadiz stoppedughing and bent down a little and reached out to me.
¡°Well then, Little man. Now that we met by chance, would you like to go home with me?¡±
That alone made my cheeks burn, and I timidly held out my hand.
¡°...that¡®s fine...¡±
In the end, I just couldn¡¯t resist Sadiz.
¡°Ufufufu, going home in uniform like this with Little man, it¡¯s pretty refreshing.¡±
¡°I, is it...¡±
We walked along the central street of the Imperial City.
I gave a short reply, but I was really nervous.
It was the first time I walked alongside Sadiz in her Academy uniform, instead of her usual maid outfit, and I felt something different.
At the same time, I tried to cover up my nervousness, I asked Sadiz something I was concerned about.
¡°Sadiz... is popr, right?¡±
¡°Yes. Thankfully.¡±
¡°Erm. But...... i, is that okay?¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Yo, you were asked out on a date!¡±
¡°Looks like it.¡±
¡°You know, Sadiz, always studies, trains... helps with housework.... and also has homework... it¡¯s a lot. Don¡¯t you want to go out on dates or y once in a while? Don¡¯t you think about it?¡±
Sadiz was always doing a lot for me.
But is it okay to always do that much for me?
Doesn¡¯t Sadiz want to have fun too?
At the same time, I still don¡¯t want to see Sadiz with other guys.
With such aplex feeling, I couldn¡¯t be honest with her.
Then, Sadiz said to me...
¡°Yes, I¡¯m also a woman, Little man. I want to go on a date with a boy too, or I should say, I¡¯m going on a date, right?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Surprised, I turned around and looked up, and Sadiz had that nasty smile on her face.
¡°Hey? What¡¯s wrong~? Little man. Look, you see, I¡¯m popr as you know, right? I want to hold hands and go on a flirty date with a boy, and I actually have one in mind already.¡±
¡°Eh? No way, eh? That...... eh...... not true, is it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not a lie~. That¡¯s why I declined the invitation of my ssmates. I already love that person, I love him so much that I can¡¯t help it, so today is another day for a date, too.¡±
I was shocked. I thought I knew Sadiz better than anyone, so I almost cried because I wondered if there was a Sadiz that I didn¡¯t know existed.
In the future, I¡¯m going to marry Sadiz.
I thought so, but I was trembling and almost in tears.
¡°No, way... where is he? Are you going on a date today? Who with?¡±
I asked Sadiz, holding back my tears.
Then, Sadiz, who was usually expressionless or grinning like an idiot, smiled at this moment...
¡°Right now, I¡¯m on an after-school date with the boy I¡¯m holding hands with.¡±
After that, I got very embarrassed, but I was happy and excited, and I didn¡¯t really remember how we got home or what kind of conversation we had.
But looking back, that¡¯s a line she said because she treated me like a younger brother or a child.
It always fueled my first love, and it had always dominated me.
It must have been broken off after the match.
Despite that, even now I still think back on that moment, I still have a long way to go after all.
¡°Damn... what am I doing... don¡¯t frivolously hold hands with a kid and a natural airheaded woman...¡±
A little while ago, I was so carefree and fluffy that I felt ashamed of myself.
¡°Look at me! I¡¯m getting stronger! I can¡¯t get swayed like this! I¡¯m going to win! I¡¯ll win! No matter who it is!¡±
I¡¯m going to be so strong that I won¡¯t feel so feminine when I remember that.
And I¡¯ll win! I¡¯ll win! I¡¯ll win!
Whoever¡¯s the opponent is!
¡ºHmm...... somehow... before the match... Hiro, Mamu, and that maid all had simr expressions when you said as much.¡»
¡°...... there was no such thing.¡±
¡ºIs that so? Well, it matters not so long as such feelings give rise to an aggressive spirit.¡»
Right now, there is no one except me and Tre¡¯ainar on the first floor.
Tre¡¯ainar talked as I was hitting light strikes on the sandbag in front of the mirror.
Before the match.
That¡¯s right, the day when my father and mother left their jobs and came back in a hurry when I opened a magic hole and copsed.
At that time, I was angry at the situation that ¡°nobody expected my victory¡±, and vowed to be stronger out of rebellious spirit.
To be honest, things werepletely different now, and I didn¡¯t think I was the same as I was at that time.
However, it might have looked so to Tre¡¯ainar.
And as if Tre¡¯ainar understood my feelings...
¡ºWell, child. For these three months, as I previously said, ¡®Improving basic skills¡¯ using the equipment of the dojo. ¡®Mastery of Magical Breathing¡¯. This is the theme, and I intend to continue your training for that. I am considering various training menus so you do not get bored, but... there shall be a slight change in the schedule.¡»
¡°What?¡±
¡ºRather than changing things, I suppose we shall add to the training themes in order to get stronger.¡»
The training from now on.
In order to improve my basic abilities, I will be doing jumping rope, muscle training for the upper body & lower body, training dedicated to the big toe, road work, shadow and sparring.
With the mastery of the Magical Breathing, yoga and other techniques being taught over a short period of time.
In this current situation, we will add another new theme.
It could be pretty tough.
But, strangely enough, I just felt like I would do anything.
And the new theme that Tre¡¯ainar imposed was...
¡ºTis the development of a Special Technique.¡»
¡°...... wh... what?¡±
I was dumbfounded by a slightly unexpected proposal.
¡ºGreat Demon Flicker, Great Demon Smash, Great Demon Corkscrew, the Counter Punches, the Breakthrough, the Great Demon Spiral are all techniques. However, they are originally my techniques. To put it abominably, you are simply using my skill as you are told. Well, tis still not a demerit yet...¡»
¡°A, as I¡¯m told... tte...... but now...¡±
¡ºTis why you need to look to the future and create one. Whether or not it can be used in three months, it shall your own original technique... devise your Signature Move.¡»
My Signature Move. I feel it¡¯s been a long time since I heard that.
¡ºAnd in the development of this Signature Move... tis up to you to decide what sort of special move to create.¡»
¡°Wow?! Eh ... eh!?¡±
And while proposing it himself, Tre¡¯ainar dered a hands-off policy.
I couldn¡¯t help being puzzled by this.
¡ºWell, you may seek my consultation. But from now on, while doing the same training as before, and while leading those pathetic men of the Wizarding School,e up with the image of your Special Technique in a corner of your mind. Imagine what you can do and what suits you. Then, create something you may im as your own, something to be burned into the eyes those durds, something that will leave the world breathless!¡»
I never thought he¡¯de here and make such a proposal.
In the past, I would have had a lot of fun just thinking about the Special Technique Name.
But now it¡¯s different.
Generally, I¡¯d rather have Tre¡¯ainar, who knows what¡¯s right, tell me the answer...
¡ºChild!¡»
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡ºTis certainly quicker to have mee up with an idea that is right for the child, but ... on asion, something such as this also good. Tis a way for you to be you...¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s smile looked more like a school teacher giving homework than a master.
In the end, I didn¡¯t get Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s intentions, but either way, I had to think as I was told.
And......
¡ºHowever, in order to devise a special move, the sooner you learn Magical Breathing the more you may expand your options. In fact, tis better to have you master it slowly, but I cannot say so. So, child. Truthfully, I am reluctant about having you do this in the growth period, but there is a way to learn Magical Breathing faster bybining it with Yoga.¡»
The teacher-like expression receded in an instant, and this time, Tre¡¯ainar showed the stern face of a master again.
He asked me, as if to test my feelings and resolve, and when I nodded...
¡ºIf you are prepared... we shall ¡®dry out by draining¡¯... for a short time ... I shall have you experience some hell.¡»
The harsh training I had done so far started to look like a refreshing, sparkling sweat.
Chapter 124 – Sweat
Chapter 124 ¨C Sweat
Tranted by: Sads07
It¡¯s only been a few days.
Draining. Does it drain moisture from the whole body by simply sweating and salivating?
I don¡¯t see how that¡¯s training at all.
I wonder if it simply means not drinking water even if you¡¯re thirsty.
However, for me who has fought ninja warriors, an ogre, hoodlums and a mantis, it would be an easy task... easy task...... who was that optimistic idiot?
¡°Oraaaa!!¡±
¡°That¡¯s sloppy! Don¡¯t make me hit you just to relieve stress, imagine your opponent!¡±
Oratski mmed his fist into the sandbag with all his might.
I was supporting the sandbag from behind, and I felt the shock as I shouted.
I didn¡¯t want to shout.
¡°Hey, Mortriage! Mobner! We¡¯re sparring, both of you at the same time,e on! Mobner, try harder to evade my left! Mortriage cast bit-ss magic at me from mid-range.¡±
¡°¡±Ou!¡±¡±
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s new instructions to me: ¡°Drain the water¡± or something like that.
How many days since I started? You can count the number of days on one hand.
And yet, what is it? What¡¯s going on with my head and heart right now?
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mobner! It¡¯s just a slowed down left handed flick! If you can¡¯t handle this, you¡¯re not worth talking to!¡±
¡°Ku~, a utsu, u, gu~ ¡°
¡°Mortriage, next, thunder! No,e on! You can dexterously use various attributes! Instead of half-heartedly learning powerful magic, you should learn how to activate basic magic instantly in quick session! Next, wind!¡±
¡°Ts, ¡¾Bit Wind¡¿!¡±
I know I shouldn¡¯t be shouting, but I can¡¯t help but get annoyed and raise my voice.
I¡¯m trying to avoid hitting these guys, but inside I¡¯m pretty pissed off.
¡°What the hell is that! Wha puh!?¡±
¡°No! You¡¯re not quick enough! You can¡¯t hit anyone with that, and even if you did, it wouldn¡¯t hurt much! Get a moment¡¯s step in and put your entire weight on it!¡±
Someday, something ugly in me will scream out not only at these guys, but the whole area?
I¡¯ve been spending thest few days holding it back.
¡°Hah, hah~... right. That¡¯s it. The rest is all muscle training. As I told you, while you¡¯re in pairs and one is on the bench-press, the other will spot.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ou!¡±¡±¡±¡±
One thing that helped was that these guys were surprisingly obedient to what I say.
If they hadined, saying ¡°eh¡± or ¡°let¡¯s do something more interesting,¡± they might have gotten familiar with my flying fists.
In other words, these guys are really trying to be strong, no matter what. That¡¯s why they¡¯re serious.
I¡¯ve learned that over the past few days, so I can¡¯t do anything shameful, even if I¡¯m the one teaching them.
¡°All right, I¡¯m going for a run.¡±
After apanying these guys, it was time for my own training.
From morning to evening, I tortured my body, from the evening until the night, I coached them, and at night, my training started again.
It¡¯s already dim outside, and the workers at the end of the day are on their way home, and in the lit shops are buzzing with excitement.
And then......
¡°Hey, Earth!¡±
¡°...... Elder Sis Tsukshi... Sadiz...¡±
¡°Good work! Still training?¡±
Perhaps they were the way home from shopping for dinner, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Sadiz were filling out shopping bags.
Sadiz still seemed awkward with me and dropped her gaze a little, but Elder Sis Tsukshi spoke to me regardless.
¡°We haven¡¯t eaten togethertely, have we? You¡¯ve beening homete, so the goddess and Amae seem a bit lonely?¡±
¡°Hmm? Well...¡±
¡°Amae has been staying upte, saying she¡¯ll wait until Earthes home, but it looks like Earth doesn¡¯te home at all... is that okay~?¡±
In the past few days, we usually get up at the same time and eat at the same time, but my life has changed since I started draining.
I get up earlier than usual and ranter than usual.
¡°Can¡¯t we all eat together today? If so, we could invite Mortriage and others to have a get-together with Sadiz Big sister!¡±
¡°Hey hey, Elder Sis Tsukshi, that¡¯s... you¡¯re talking about the fun party for Mortriage and guys after they get stronger, right?¡±
¡°B, but...I can barely wait...¡±
¡°At least, ¡®that event¡¯ will be done, or not, after the tournament is over. So I¡¯m going?¡±
And it¡¯s not just about running. I also cut off my desires.
¡°That...¡±
Sadiz seemed to sense that I was starting to build a wall here, and tried to talk to me.
I knew that, but I started running without responding.
Run through the town at night without looking back.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Happy Birthday, Jos¨¦ (senior)! The present is~ this?me¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Eh? What the hell, whoa, I tripped on the floor, whooooaaa!¡±
¡°Hold on, Jos¨¦!? Kyaaah, it¡¯s still too soon... oh no, the ribbon!¡±
¡°No way?! The ribbon came off, m, my boobies!?¡±
¡°Senior, th, that¡¯s a precious spot for girls, don¡¯t go fondling them!¡±
¡°Sheesh, Jos¨¦¡¯s such a perv!¡±
¡°See here, you¡¯ll have to take responsibility for that.¡±
I don¡¯t care what other people around me are doing or how much fun they¡¯re having.
I¡¯m me. No matter what other people are doing, I¡¯ll just go ahead without looking aside.
¡ºHmm... well then, shall we push on again?¡»
¡°Uh huh, let¡¯s get started.¡±
And when I arrived at the beach, before I started training at sea...
¡°First... Breakthrough!!¡±
For now, breakthrough. Then, without doing anything, let the magic drip away and wait until the breakthrough expires.
¡°Haa~, ze, hah...¡±
¡ºAll right, the magic is spent.¡»
¡°...... Osu...¡±
In the past few days, it wasn¡¯t just the draining of water from my body that was tough.
When training, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instruction was to train with ¡°zero magical power¡±.
¡ºIs it difficult?¡»
¡°No, not at all. It¡¯s just, my clothes are soaked with sweat.¡±
¡ºFuhahaha, is that so? The fact that you perspire means we can still squeeze out more. Go! Daaaaaaash!!¡»
¡°...... right...¡±
When your magic power drops to zero, you suddenly feel a sense of fatigue in your body.
As soon as I run, I¡¯m short of breath and exhausted.
Especially when I¡¯m slowly losing strength due to the draining process, and then there¡¯s this Magical Zero-Start Training.
Still, it¡¯s been a few days.
Only a few days.
But it¡¯s intense.
¡°Deee yarayarayarayarayarayarayarayarayarayarayara!!!! Oyaraaaaaaaah!!¡±
And, I ran.
However, he made me run like a carriage horse.
In the past few days, the amount of running has tripled.
To gain strength? There should be other training to improve physical strength.
Of course, I¡¯m sure Tre¡¯ainar knew that. But he single-mindedly drove me to run.
Training from the morning, magic emptied, and then I just kept on dashing on this sandy beach that was tripping me up.
¡°Zee, ha, zee...¡±
¡ºDo not pause during the interval! Do your sit-ups!¡»
¡°Guh, ts, nuh, ku¡±
¡ºEnd of interval! Dash!¡»
¡°Nuuuuuuooooooooooohhh!!!¡±
¡ºYou are going a little slow, are you not? What, is that it? Are you going to cut corners and rest?¡»
¡°Tch, damn you!¡±
¡ºLook at that. You still have some energy to spare! A spoiled twit raised on a full stomach. You will have to part with that!¡»
¡°Uuuoooooooooh!!¡±
So harsh! I mean, I needed water.
I may desperately want to swallow my saliva and even lick this flowing sweat now.
What is it? Why? Why am I doing this?
Somehow, I¡¯m getting tired of even thinking about it, gradually transcending frustration.
¡ºIndeed, you grow weaker. However, humans have always beenckadaisical. During the war, there were those who have endured for days without water.¡»
¡°Zee, hah, zee, ha...... hyuu... khyuu...¡±
¡ºSo, how is it? Do you feel anything in your body?¡»
¡°............ No...¡±
¡ºI see. Then, go run some more.¡»
¡°Ha!? ............ Osu.¡±
My thighs were heavy. My calf was screaming to be pulled. What is this general feeling of emptiness?
Even though I¡¯m training, I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯m getting stronger.
So far, the training methods that Tre¡¯ainar has taught me.
All of them made me realize that ¡°If you continue to do this, you will definitely get stronger¡±.
But, this is different.
¡ºEmptied magical power recovers over time. Tis because over time, the magic holes gradually take in the magic from the air. Everyone does this unconsciously. You should be able to feel this gradual intake. If you grasp that sensation, be aware of it yourself, and know what it feels like to take in magical power... you will be able to master ¡®Magic Breathing¡¯.¡»
Thest few days of training have only made me feel weaker and weaker.
In fact, I¡¯m getting weaker now.
If I carry on like this, I just feel like I¡¯m going to copse eventually.
¡ºHowever, the sensation as the magic in the air being taken in through the magic hole is truly subtle. Tis too miniscule to be felt by the senses of an ordinary creature. In order to sense it, it is necessary to bare the nerves and have a keen sense sharpened to the limit...¡»
I know I¡¯m going to copse. But I have no choice but to run.
All I have now is my mental strength.
I don¡¯t know if this will make me stronger or not, but is all for the sake of getting stronger.
Yes, that¡¯s what I believe.
Author¡¯s Note
This story is fiction. There is a possibility that you cannot learn the Magical Breathing even if you drain. It is dangerous if you do not do it under proper guidance. Also, ¡°I drained, but I couldn¡¯t learn the Magical Breathing, the author should take responsibility, shave your hair!¡± Even if this is said, please understand that the author cannot shave his hair.

Tis been days innumerable by counting with both hands, and the child has grown quite thin.
The boy, who was raised without any inconvenience, began to disy sunken cheekbones, dried skin, and even dark circles forming around his eyes.
¡°Well, Tre¡¯ainar...again, it¡¯s morning already, right? Let¡¯s, go for a run.¡±
Already, he has reached the point near the limit.
The time to get up in the morning steadily bes earlier. Tis not due to enthusiasm.
He simply cannot fall into a deep sleep.
¡°Break... through¡±
As a patient, his would be a serious case. However, he still runs after emptying his magical power with a breakthrough so as to keep to his word.
Even though the breakthrough itself puts a strain on the body, the child is doing it indifferently.
¡°...sshi....¡±
Once ready, he runs straight out to the beach.
The time of day is dark enough to be midnight.
However, the child runs.
And, although the time has fallen tremendously, the child is still giving his all in his current condition without cutting corners.
¡°Hah, ze, hah, ze, zee ...
To put it bluntly, such activity where one just single-mindedly sweats is not training.
Tisplete overwork.
As such, the training is counterproductive.
Moreover, for young children, this draining is not something that should be performed from the standpoint of an instructor, I am not inclined to do it.
I would much rather take the time.
However, with the next three months put into consideration, this is necessary.
And as long as the child himself believes in it, I cannot afford to hesitate in giving my instruction.
It would be harsh to allow a young, well-bred boy to relinquish his greed.
¡ºAll right, do the shadow while carving the steps in detail. Begin!¡»
¡°...... ¡®su...¡±
Even at the best of times, he would be unable to skillfully perform the steps on the sandy beach. His legs are tangled and he is unable to keep to a rhythm.
Finally, he trips on his own feet and falls.
¡°Guh, nuoh ... hah, hah ... Damn it! Hah, hah...¡±
In a situation where his body cannot move as well as he imagines, the child bites his dry lips, bleeds, and ms the sandy beach in frustration.
Yet......
¡ºDo you want to rest?¡»
¡°Hah~!? Let¡¯s... go.¡±
¡ºI see...¡»
Even though he copses, even as he weakens, he will still stand back up immediately.
When ites to this point, it can be said to be an obsession already beyond tenacity.
And, only one thing puzzled me.
He has fallen into an extreme state, the child has also be irritable, and his spirit is gradually copsing.
However, even though he fell into this situation, heins, but he never shows weakness.
Normally, it would not be strange to utter, ¡°no more¡±, ¡°I can¡¯t do it ¡°, and ¡°I want to stop¡±.
Nevertheless, he is silently doing what he ought to do.
¡°Ah, u... uooaaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
Such desperation is not founded merely on self-reflection.
Tis not simply the desire for strength.
¡¸Water, water, drink water, damn, I¡¯m going crazy! I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on! Damn it, shit!¡¹
I can feel the child¡¯s inner cries as he shadows himself.
Yes, he can drink, for the child that much is true.
Certainly I am by his side.
I shall reprimand him.
However, even though I can exchange words with the child, I cannot directly touch him.
I cannot sacrifice my wellbeing for his, nor can I strike him.
Should the child break his word and tries to drink water, I cannot stop him.
However, the child does not break.
¡ºAre you losing heart?¡»
Even when I ask with sarcasm, the child will always reply.
¡°Not, to, this, much.¡±
¡ºHou!¡»
Though I believe ¡°In this way, the child can learn Magical Breathing in a short period of time¡±, I do not have much ¡°experience¡± in teaching disciples by actually draining water.
Therefore, I thought this is what bes of the person who drains water day in and day out right before my eyes.
Because I canprehend the cry of the child¡¯s heart, at this point, I may be forced to unknowingly break the promise regardless of the child¡¯s will.
However, the child does not break.
¡¸I can¡¯t give in... I¡¯m already at my limit, it¡¯s hard, it hurts, I¡¯m dying, but... I¡¯m not going to say it.¡¹
And that was the moment.
¡¸This guy thought I could do it, so he imposed it... then I¡¯ll do it...¡¹
I can feel it. The child¡¯s inner cry.
¡¸The people of the Imperial City, my father, my mother, Sadiz... didn¡¯t expect it from me... no one was looking at me...¡¹
At this point, it must have slipped his mind that I can understand the voice in his mind.
No, perhaps he is screaming unconsciously.
¡¸But... but now! For the first time, I¡¯ve got someone who looks at me... and now I¡¯ve imposed on him to believe that I can do it... How can I betray that expectation ......?¡¹
Oh...... goodness...... this durd...
¡¸I, don¡¯t want to be a disappointment to this guy alone! Just to him, I don¡¯t want to betray him!¡¹
During the Graduation match, I called out the child¡¯s name but once.
I pushed out the child¡¯s back and called the name ¡°Earth Lagann¡± as a testimony that he is recognized.
However, I called it only once.
And yet, that one instance must have stayed with the child forever.
¡ºReally. In that case, continue.¡»
¡°O, su.¡±
I shall pretend not to have heard the child¡¯s heartfelt cries?
Even so, this foolish disciple....
Come to think of it, that one... Kron saw through that...
¨D¨D I think what Earth really wants is not just strength, but something more.
Yes, what the child wants. I know what it is.
The child himself is unaware. No, he may have forgotten what he wants.
The root of what you want, child, has not changed since we first met.
You want to be recognized as ¡°Earth Lagann¡±.
Tis not to be praised. You want someone to recognize your existence.
Therefore, getting stronger is but a means to an end, not the end-all.
There were other ways to earn recognition for something beyond your father in different fields.
But you chose this path.
And I know too. No matter how harsh you appear on the surface, you still want to show yourself to that maid.
Not as the boy who is the Hero¡¯s son, but as Earth Lagann. As a man.
¡ºOi, you are slowing down a little, are you not? What is wrong! You can always quit anytime you want!¡»
¡°I, I¡¯ll get it...¡±
I know what you want, and that is why I will not grant it to you.
I will no longer refer to you as ¡°Earth Lagann¡±.
I know what you want, but if I give it to you, its value will diminish.
Your goal now is neither here nor in three months. Tis much further ahead.
I cannot give you hope so easily.
Above all, being recognized by others happens naturally.
If those who do not know what you wante to recognize you naturally, tis of precious value.
Therefore, I will say no more.
However...
¡ºI will be watching ... you.¡»
¡°Hah, ze, hah ... eh?¡±
¡ºI have not said a thing. You arecking concentration! Focus more!¡»
¡°O, su¡±
Yes, I shall watch to the very end.
Instead of giving you the words you want, I shall keep looking at you.
¡¸...... geez, I heard that... well, maybe it¡¯s okay to pretend I didn¡¯t hear it.¡¹
...... Nu?
¡¸...... Well... Thank you.¡¹
tsu, t, tis why I said that your mind is transparent to me.
Chapter 126 – The Words “I Did My Best�
Chapter 126 ¨C The Words ¡°I Did My Best¡±
Tranted by: Sads07
On my first day in this country, I destroyed a punching bag with a single punch, but now even if I hit the punching bag with my fist, it just makes a passing sound and doesn¡¯t shake at all.
Magical jumping rope? Now, just a normal forward jump makes me dizzy.
Magical Yoga? I¡¯m so frustrated I can¡¯t even sit still.
Muscle training? I didn¡¯t think dumbbells could feel so heavy.
And now I can¡¯t even spar with Mortriage¡¯s crew anymore.
¡°Come on... no more... I can¡¯t watch anymore.¡±
¡°Big brother...¡±
¡°Uuuh...¡±
Now, Elder sis Tsukshi turns pale at what has be of my good looks.
The usually spirited Karui was at a loss for words, and Amae, who had been so clingy, was also frightened and close to crying.
¡°Earth! This has gone on long enough! First of all, just drink water! Look, here¡¯s some water!¡±
¡°...... Ah... ua... ah... eh! I, its fine...¡±
¡°What!?¡±
¡°Going... run...¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
That¡¯s right. When I looked in the mirror, I wondered if an undead had been reflected for a moment.
¡°Why are you doing this...¡±
¡°Hey, you, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
¡°Going so far... why, what¡¯s the point?¡±
¡°Earth...¡±
I¡¯m so weakened that I can¡¯t spar, and Mortriage and the guys were so dismayed at my strange appearance that they couldn¡¯t bear to watch.
The same goes for the other dojo guys.
It seems that no one can understand me now.
¡°At this rate... you...... will die? Earth!¡±
Finally, Mr. Machio couldn¡¯t stand to watch any longer, so he stood in front of me.
¡°The instructor left you to your own devices, and I was watching you, wondering if there was any meaning to it. But if you carry on like this, you could die at any moment, you know?¡±
He¡¯s worried. Everyone was, about me.
But right now, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯d do if I had to stop, talk, or even just be interrupted like this.
¡°Out...of... way, please.¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
But Machio grabbed me by the shoulders...
¡°What kind of power could you gain from bing such a dead branch? What are you looking at? What are you aiming for.......¡±
¡°Don¡¯t... touch... me... okay...¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Come on... you¡¯ll ruin it, do... not, I¡¯ll need... every little... bit...¡±
I know he cared about me, but now I don¡¯t know what will happen or when.
Especially, killing ... won¡¯t go that far, but I couldn¡¯t control myself anymore.
¡°Hi, hah... zee...... ha...¡±
Die? Am I going to die?
Why am I dying? Ah... why am I here?
What do I want?
What was I doing until I was in such pain?
Sweat? I can¡¯t even sweat anymore.
I¡¯ve run out.
Why am I still suffering even though I¡¯ve done all I can?
Can¡¯t I just give it up?
¡°Hey,e on! Atst, the Jos¨¦ Girls are confessing!¡±
¡°That insensitive Jos¨¦ finally received everyone¡¯s feelings through the girl¡¯s upfront confession.¡±
¡°Finally? So he¡¯s going to pick someone atst?¡±
¡°I envy men who are popr.¡±
¡°Well, there¡¯s still time before the tournament.¡±
¡°Speaking of the tournament, he¡¯s strong, right? Moreover, he doesn¡¯t want to stand out and hasn¡¯t shown the bottom of his power yet, so no one knows Jos¨¦¡¯s true power.¡±
¡°Could he be stronger than Machio?¡±
Damn it, that¡¯s why I don¡¯t like running in the daytime.
People are in the way. They are so loud. The world is so noisy. All the people, all the chattering!
¡°I... I won¡¯t choose one person. Instead, I choose everyone. That¡¯s my answer! When I win the uing tournament.... if I get it...... everyone...... I pledge that victory... so, will you marry me? Is that all right?¡±
Stay out of my sight.
Make way for me.
No one say a word.
¡°Well, if it¡¯s Jos¨¦... really, this guy...¡±
¡°But that¡¯s the only way, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°It¡¯s shameless, it¡¯s insane... but...... it can¡¯t be helped.¡±
¡°I, if I could stay with Jos¨¦ too!¡±
¡°Senior, my feelings do not change.¡±
It¡¯s annoying... it¡¯s distracting...... then... just...
¡°Well, all together now!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡± Please continue to support us from now on ? ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°So, we¡¯re going to bed now?¡±
¡°So shameless! That¡¯s after graduation ...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! So, how about as a reward for winning the tournament, Jos¨¦?¡±
¡°Se, senior! I will have a lot of babies!¡±
Especially...... these girls¡¯ happy-go-lucky shrill voice, now urge to kill... no good...... damn it, head, get empty. Clear your mind...
¡°Eh? What are you going to do in bed? Eh? Did you say something? ...... woah, my feet slipped, wow, I bumped into you!¡±
¡°Hold on!? Kyaaaah! Ooo, my butt... eh?! Jos¨¦! What, you¡¯re touching my chest, it¡¯s too soon for that! Wh, why do we always always end up like this!¡±
Hey...... Hey......
¡°Ah... H, hey! Chiyo! Someone¡¯s stepping under your butt!?¡±
¡°Eh...... Kyaahh!! Wai, who!?¡±
It¡¯s me...
¡°I mean... hi, wow!? A ghost!? What, this guy... Wow...¡±
¡°Eh? Who!?¡±
¡°Uh... creepy...¡±
¡°Scary... what...... this person? I¡¯m pretty sure that¡¯s him!¡±
¡°B, bastard from that time!? What are you doing here! To Senior Chiyo¡¯s butt!?¡±
First of all..... wow, this shit...
¡°Hah, zee, ha...... ze...¡±
No good. I don¡¯t have time for this!
Quickly walk away...
¡°Wait, you bastard!¡±
Quickly... but then again... this shing woman...
¡°Eh... the appearance has changed a lot... hmm... what happened? Did you incur divine punishment? Or was it a curse?¡±
¡°...............¡±
¡°The appropriate shabbiness for a shameless man. You have no idea how cocky you¡¯re being with Senior Jos¨¦...¡±
Quickly...
¡°Excuse, me... but, not ... in the mood to y.... step aside.¡±
¡°Wha...¡±
Gently push the nuisance girl¡¯s shoulder and got her out of the way.
¡°You! What are you doing to my loved one?¡±
¡°Butho!?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t allow you to touch my loved one with one finger!¡±
Ah... I..... I was hit... I know... but I can¡¯t move.
¡°But what? Somehow, I don¡¯t know why, but he was so weak... scum... the lowest guy to get violent with a girl. Not even worth beating up.¡±
Why!?
Why should I be bothered by such a small fish!?
Must you get in the way!?
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Yes...¡±
Why should I be looked down upon like this?
If only I drank water, if I drink even a drop, you, all of you... all of you...... all of you...... get crumpled up... crumple!
¡°Ah... aaahh...... aaaaahh!¡±
That¡¯s right, could crumple them up! Just kill em!
¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
Kill! Kiilll! Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllll!!!!
So drink water! Water! Water! Water! Water!
waterwaterwaterwater!
¡°Hey, what¡¯s with this guy? A hobo?¡±
¡°Maybe he¡¯s a little crazy, too.¡±
¡°Should we call Dr. Eisha?¡±
Kill Kill Kill Kill!!!!
Water Water Water Water!!!!
¡°Ah©aah©aah©aah©a!!¡±
Kill Water Kill Water waterkillwaterkillwaterkillwaterkillwaterkillwaterkillwaterkill!!!!
¡°Ah, uah, ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
Ah! There¡¯s water in front of the store over there!
They¡¯re sprinkling water! Water! So much of it!
If I drink that!
¡°Don¡¯t drink water sprinkled on the ground. Let¡¯s go back to church at once.¡±
...... Who? Eh?
¡°Actually... didn¡¯t seem to like being approached by me or anyone else... but I don¡¯t think I can do this anymore...¡±
¡°...... Sa, di..z?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry. I still can¡¯t remember who you were to me ...... or what I did to you.... but still, I can¡¯t stand to see you like this anymore.¡±
Sadiz. She was standing beside me with a very sad expression on her face, as if she was about to burst into tears.
¡°I was worried about you. For days and days... but I didn¡¯t know what you were aiming for, what you were thinking, or why you were doing this... you have already ¡®done your best¡¯. That¡¯s what everyone at the church and dojo think. Please don¡¯t suffer any more.¡±
Saying that, Sadiz reached out to me and tried to help me up.
¡°Please go back to the church now, get some fluids and rest your body. Eat your food properly. Let¡¯s have the doctor take a look at you.¡±
¡°Now, it¡¯s... I¡¯m still...... not yet.¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s enough. You did your best.¡±
I did my best. That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve already... that? Before, I¡¯m sure we¡¯ve done this...
¨D¨D I...I couldn¡¯t win, but I did my best...I don¡¯t want any constion! I want to win! I want to show them, those who don¡¯t believe I can win!!
¡°...... Ah.¡±
I see... what I¡¯m... forgetting.
¡°...... Sadiz... enough already...¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°So, I¡¯m still fine....¡±
¡°No, what!?¡±
I almost became a miserable guy who was ¡°satisfied with his efforts¡±.
I couldn¡¯t do it, but I did my best?
Wrong. I can¡¯t do it because I haven¡¯t worked hard enough.
¡°Don¡¯t ...... tell me what I¡¯m ...... trying to ...... do when you don¡¯t ...... know what I¡¯m ...... trying to ...... do¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°No, need to... worry. I¡¯m still... middle of ...... working hard.¡±
I can say that I did my best for the first time after I worked hard and got results.
So it¡¯s ironic. Fortunately, or unfortunately, more than anything else, it was Sadiz¡¯s concern that gave me the final resolve.
I felt that my body and mind, which were dried up, had moistened a little.
¡°But!¡±
¡°Just watch... I¡¯ll show you... me.¡±
¡°W, wait¡ª ¡°
¡°Just one thing... Thank you...¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Almost... I would have, betray, the one, person, in this world.... I never, want to betray... even a little.¡±
Naturally I was talking about him.
It wasn¡¯t simply words of frustration or unfaithfulness that came out of my mouth.
I¡¯m still working hard.
The results are yet toe.
I wanted to show Sadiz the results again.
Even if she doesn¡¯t remember, I want to show her what I¡¯ve grasped and what I¡¯ll be able to do at this end.
It¡¯s not hatred. This feeling.
Just thinking that way, my frustration subsided and I felt calm.
And most of all, I almost lost to myself and betrayed the master who believed in me and imposed the task.
¡º...... Child...¡»
¡°I¡¯ll run.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar watched silently from start to finish.
He didn¡¯t try to stop me, didn¡¯t admonish me, didn¡¯t scold me.
No matter what happens, he was just trying to see me through.
But I¡¯m fine now.
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±
¡ºI see...¡»
So I said it out loud.
And at this very moment, I was really okay.
It seemed I would go crazy once I reached the boiling point, but as soon as I suddenly settled down, it was kind of refreshing.
On the contrary, I felt a little more energetic, as if something was filling up my empty body¡ª¡ª
¡ºEh!!?? Child!?¡»
¡°Whoa!?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s expression suddenly changed and he called out me. I was startled.
But what happened all of a sudden?
¡ºChild... do you feel any changes in your body? The sensation of something filling the emptied vessel...¡»
¡°Eh? Ah...¡±
I got it. I can feel it. What is this?
Breathing? No, normal breathing was when you inhale and exhale.
But now, what I¡¯m feeling was like what I¡¯ve inhaled was umting in my body... huh? Tre¡¯ainar? Are you smiling?
¡ºHmm...... finally... this time, you truly...... did your best... did you not?¡»
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡ºHmm, I never meant to say this... I got so excited... my oh my...¡»
Suddenly praising me... but then he made a face like ¡°Oh no.¡± and held his mouth... what¡¯s going on?
Generally speaking, I couldn¡¯t ept it when Sadiz said ¡°I did my best¡±, even though I didn¡¯t get any results yet, but did the same for Tre¡¯ainar?
No, Tre¡¯ainar would never say such a thing.
But if he did...
¡ºChild, chew on that sensation. Remember it. You can now feel all the magic holes and magic power in your body with your senses.¡»
It¡¯s only when I achieve my goal.
What does that mean?
Author¡¯s Note
As a matter of fact, without water, humans die in about five days.
If you are like me, you¡¯re invisible to others, but don¡¯t imitate this unless instructed to by a ghost master who¡¯s always by your side.
Chapter 127 – The End of Hell
Chapter 127 ¨C The End of Hell
Tranted by: Sads07
I stood on the empty beach, looking out at the sea.
There was still something left of my body, even though it was as dry as skin and bones.
I could easily feel the throbbing of my heart, the creaking of muscles as I move, and even the cirction of the blood in my body.
In the midst of all this, I felt a slight sense of something being taken into my body.
A small amount of energy was entering my body as if taking in air through the many tiny holes in the whole body.
Feel the magic power as it is taken in, and know where ites from. The exact positions of every one of your magic holes! Tis the ingress point of magic power! The magic hole is usually just an open hole, and magic power seeps in naturally. Do not simply keep them open, control them as if breathing in.¡±
I understand. My whole body, sharpened to the limit, could now sense even the sound of a distant drop of water.
And my concentration, which had been heightened to this point by jumping rope and yoga, lured me to the bottom of the deep sea of consciousness, which was distracted as a consequence for the draining.
I wonder why.
I had been so desperate for water.
I was so crazy with an urge to kill.
It was hard, painful, and I felt like I was slogging through a hell with no end in sight.
But now my body and mind were calm.
The days of hellish training, in which I couldn¡¯t feel myself getting stronger, now made me feel a certain sense of achievement.
This feeling was irresistible.
The reason I felt this way was because of my master, who believed in me... and..... whatever the form, his presence was also there after all... I have mixed feelings. However, it¡¯s a wonder that my head and heart were as clear and fresh as they¡¯ve ever been.
¡°Breakthrough¡±
¡ºNow then, keep the breakthrough as it is! Magic power is released by being in a breakthrough state. Concurrently, control the magic holes and take in the magic power in the air. Release, take in, release, take in, repeat this in session and circte! That is the essential sensation to mastering Magical Breathing!¡»
It¡¯s not ego. I can do anything right now.
That feeling fills me up.
And the hell I¡¯ve been through so far has be like my spine, my confidence even.
¡°...... This way...... then do... that?¡±
¡ºYes, that feeling! And you never forget the feeling once learned! You stood up and began walking today, just as a child learns to stand up and walk!¡»
Started walking? For me, right now, it felt like skipping stairs as I ran up.
¡°Ah... right...¡±
The breakthrough, which would usually have already run out of time by now, has not expired yet.
On the contrary, so long as I¡¯m awake, I could carry on like this as much as I want.
To me...
¡ºFufu, Fufufufu, Fuhahahahahahahahahaha!¡»
Tre¡¯ainarughed.
Theugh was exactly like the Demon King¡¯s hearty cackle.
And Tre¡¯ainar spread his arms...
¡ºWee, child. To a ne in history that no one has yet reached, other than me.¡»
He weed me to step into a world known only to Tre¡¯ainar.
From my point of view, that was the greatestpliment I could have received.
¡ºHow do you fare?¡»
¡°I¡¯d like to try it out right away.¡±
¡ºFufu, such an impatient fellow. But...... that can wait a little longer. First of all, rest a little and get some fluids and nourishment.¡»
That¡¯s right. Even though my heart and head have been refreshed in this way, I myself am still undead.
If I get back to normal... I mean, even now, what happens to me when I get back to my good form?
Really, quite a level up...... well, of course, as I¡¯m thinking about it...
¡ºHowever, child.¡»
Yeah, here we go.
¡ºYou deserve praise for learning Magic Breathing, but do not ge¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°Don¡¯t get too carried away, right?¡±
¡ºMu... uh? Tis so...¡»
To you, I¡¯m still just a kid who started walking, right? I can¡¯t run yet, I shouldn¡¯t get carried away?
Besides, while teaching me Magical Breathing, Tre¡¯ainar also said...
¨D¨D Your bout with Toulowe, to offer such an earnest challenge without using the breakthrough and win. An easy victory in thememorative match was right before you, you put on a conceited disy to the opponent to the tune of his futility, and yet are unwilling to use the power you have acquired indiscriminately. Today¡¯s exchange with the Wizarding School small fry is evidence of this. You have a mind to aim for higher levels. That is why I guide you.
In short, it means to not let the power you have acquired get to your head.
I¡¯m not that kind of person.
That¡¯s why, though I followed Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s lead, then learned Magical Breathing, there¡¯s still more toe.
That¡¯s the kind of attitude you want, right?
¡°I would like to go back... to the church... so......e on out.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh!?¡±¡±¡±
¡ºFufufu, with the child¡¯s senses as they are, naturally you noticed them, did you not?¡»
Yes, I noticed.
The ones at my back hiding behind a tree on the beach.
¡°Ara~, we¡¯ve been found out~¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°...... Pardon me.¡±
Looking back, there were three of them.
¡°Earth was acting strange recently... it was a terrible figure, and I was too afraid to call out... but now, Earth¡¯s appearance has changed, his eyes have returned to the original Earth.¡±
Kron was smiling.
¡°...... are you...... okay?¡±
Amae, who waspletely frightened by my recent appearance, hesitantly looked at me.
A water bottle was held in her hand.
¡°...... I¡¯m sorry... I didn¡¯t mean to make you ufortable...¡±
Sadiz bowed her head with an apologetic look.
It seems that all three of them were following me because they were worried about me.
And......
¡°By the way, Earth¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯ve been aiming fortely, but I won¡¯t ask you. Looking at you now, I know it was necessary for you. I understand.¡±
¡°Kron...¡±
¡°Can you just tell me one thing?¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
As soon as she saw that I was already fine, Kron, who had been watching me from a distance, asked me.
¡°Just now... who were you talking to?¡±
Naturally, the three people heard me and Tre¡¯ainar having a conversation as they were hiding.
However, no one could see Tre¡¯ainar.
It would have sounded like nothing but my monologue, and I didn¡¯t say anything too unnatural.
However, Kron seemed to have sensed that I was talking to ¡°someone¡±.
As I thought, she is sharp.
¡°Well... God...... or something like that.¡±
¡°Ara~¡±
¡ºHey Oi...¡»
That said, we can¡¯t tell Kron everything.
So I tried to mislead her so that she would have taken it as a joke, but Kron smiled and didn¡¯t ask any more questions.
¡°Hey, Amae.¡±
¡°Uh!?¡±
¡°...can I have ...... that?¡±
¡°U, uah ... uh ...¡±
Amae was hiding behind Kron, fidgeting. I pointed to the water bottle that Amae had and asked.
Then, Amae gave a little nod and held out the water bottle to me.
I don¡¯t know how long it¡¯s been there.
However, the water in the water bottle felt somewhat warm.
¡ºHou~, impressive. Tis not cold water, in warm water. Suddenly drinking cold water immediately after the extreme draining would break your body.¡»
Oh, is that the case? That¡¯s......
¡°You went to the trouble of bringing me a warm one?¡±
Even I didn¡¯t know that, so there¡¯s no way Amae would know that.
That would be......
¡°Un~... she gave me.¡±
Saying that, Amae pointed to Sadiz, who was next to her.
I see...... Sadiz¡¯s wisdom...
¡°Well, but...... you went out of your way to bring it, didn¡¯t you? Thank you.¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
Saying that, I stroked Amae¡¯s head.
It was the first time in a long time, so Amae trembled for a moment.
However, while being stroked, Amae¡¯s tear nds gradually loosened....
¡°...... un.¡±
She was clinging to my leg.
¡°...... after I rest a little... I¡¯ll y with you.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll have a meal together.¡±
¡°Un!¡±
Saying that, Amae clung to me and wouldn¡¯t let go.
With a wry smile, I brought the warm water Amae gave me to my mouth and slowly sipped it in.
¡ºDo not gulp it all down, understand? Let it soak into your body little by little.¡»
I suppressed my desire to drink all at once, and life gradually returned to me.
Ah. So good.
¡°Ah... hah~...... I¡¯m d I¡¯m alive.¡±
If Amae didn¡¯t cry first, or if there weren¡¯t any women here in the first ce, I might have shed tears.
That¡¯s how emotionally moved I was.
It brought me back to life.
The sense of being alive has revived.
¡°Now...¡±
Revived. Next, I¡¯ll take some rest, eat a meal, and restart from there.
But, putting that aside...
¡°Sadiz.¡±
¡°Huh!? ...... Earth......¡±
¡°...... you, calling me Earth, is great, but weird... well, that¡¯s fine.¡±
As expected, let¡¯s go back to church while ignoring it ... it can¡¯t be helped.
¡°When your memory returns, say it again.¡±
¡°Eh? That¡¯s...... of course, but...¡±
¡°At that time, I won¡¯t run away either. To you... now that you¡¯re here, there¡¯s something I want to tell you.¡±
And as we¡¯ve both been through this and I¡¯ve ovee it, one thing has be clear to me.
It¡¯s something I need to do before I finish the tournament and go out into the world again.
¡°Now that we¡¯vee this far... we¡¯ll have to settle things before I go out to the world.¡±
¡°Se... ttle?¡±
Yes, settle it.
Because I ran away without doing that, things turned out this way.
That¡¯s why it¡¯s necessary.
That¡¯s why we need a resolution.
¡°Well, until then... hey, let¡¯s go home, Amae. I¡¯m hungry.¡±
¡°Un! Go! Eat! Goooo!¡±
That¡¯s all I wanted to say to Sadiz, whether she had her memories or not.
Of course, Sadiz wouldn¡¯t know what it means now, but I still said it anyway.
And I said what I had to say, and feeling refreshed, I was taken back to the church by Amae.
Chapter 128 – Fulfillment
Chapter 128 ¨C Fulfillment
Tranted by: Sads07
My body, which had been drained and dried out, was now back to normal.
My exhausted body and mind havepletely recovered with a sense of aplishment having mastered Magical Breathing.
¡ºAt length, you have gotten ustomed to it. In Vier, you have almost mastered thebination of Magical Breathing and Breakthrough.¡»
¡°Ah. I¡¯m surprised myself.¡±
¡ºNow that you havee this far, all that remains is ... the ¡®Special Technique¡¯...¡»
¡°Ah. Also, you¡¯lle to me in Vier tonight, right?¡±
¡ºOf course.¡»
In the past few days, I¡¯ve been able to do Vier training, which was mentally impossible during the draining period, as before.
In it, I was trying to work on not only the Magical Breathing that I had just learned, but also my special technique.
No, that wasn¡¯t all. There¡¯s also...
¡°Ah... and Tre¡¯ainar.¡±
¡ºHmm?¡»
¡°Apart from the special technique... I have something I want you to teach me.¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
¡°So, from tonight, I¡¯ll need you to apany me a bit more.¡±
Anyway, I became even greedier after having gone through hell and gained power.
I couldn¡¯t sleep at night during the draining period, so I always wanted the morning toe early, but now I think the mornings came too early.
¡°Ara, Earth. How do you do? You¡¯re back to your old self, aren¡¯t you?¡±
In the morning, Kron greeted me with a gentle smile as I showed up at the church dining hall as usual.
Then, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui, also beckoned me with a relieved expression.
¡°Earth, are you okay? Your sis was really worried, you know!¡±
¡°Inya, I was really scared that big brother got weird, but now I¡¯m relieved!¡±
After the draining period, I gradually started to move ording to the original time schedule.
No more roadwork in pitch-ck hours, almost in the middle of the night, like I did during the draining period.
And today I was able to show up at the same time as the sisters of the church.
¡°Oh, no problem now. Thanks for your concern.¡±
¡°Earth...¡±
¡°So, Elder Sis Tsukshi. Mr. Machio... I can beat him, right?¡±
Far from worrying about it now, things were not the same as before.
Elder Sis Tsukshi seemed surprised at my confidence.
And.....
¡°Yo.¡±
¡°Eh!? ...... Good...... Morning¡±
I gave her a light greeting as she nced at me while trying not to drop her gaze.
Sadiz bowed her head, bewildered as her shoulders were shaking.
It¡¯s clear that she still didn¡¯t understand what I meant by ¡°settle it¡± yet.
But that¡¯s fine now.
So there¡¯s no need to force things to turn sour now.
Simply, just that.
Even if we can¡¯t interact like we used to, there¡¯s no need to put up a wall.
¡°Big brother! She is still sleeping in bed, but y with Amae when she wakes up.¡±
¡°Will do.¡±
I was frustrated and impatient, but I was able to do one thing I couldn¡¯t before, and I went through hell.
That fact may have given me some leeway in my heart.
And then......
¡°It seems thou has made quite the aplishment.¡±
¡°Ja... no...¡±
This draining period. Jamdi¡¯el, who didn¡¯t exchange a word, appeared in the dining hall and smiled in a somewhat good mood as she silently looked on.
¡°Ah... I¡¯ve worried you too, ¡®High Priestess¡¯.¡±
¡°Hmm. That sounds quite condescending. But...... somewhat, more than before... what did thou do?¡±
¡°Well, look forward to it at the uing tournament.¡±
¡°Hoh~...¡±
I confidently responded to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s smile.
However, I don¡¯t mention that I just learned Magic Breathing and wasn¡¯t conceited about surpassing Jamdi¡¯el at this point.
However, knowing the power of my opponent, I was still able to face her in this way.
And Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t seem offended by my attitude, but rather had a happy expression.
¡°Very well, Show me! I¡¯ve left thou to thy own devices, as thou wished, and I want to see the end of thy path.¡±
¡°Oh. I¡¯ll show you. You, too. And also...¡±
To the people of this country, to my master, to Sadiz.
And, incidentally, them as well...
¡°Hey, Earth!¡±
¡°Ora, we¡¯re here! You¡¯re going to start working together with us again today!¡±
¡°Today is a school holiday, so we¡¯re a little early, but...¡±
¡°Fuah~... sleepy...¡±
It seemed the Wizarding school was closed today, and the Mortriage crew came early in the morning.
They raised their voices and called out to me in front of the church.
¡°Right! I¡¯ming! Then I¡¯m going for a little run. I¡¯ll just grab some fruit, okay?¡±
¡°Yes, go for it!¡±
I took only one apple from the dining hall table, took a bite and went outside.
¡°Hey, guys.¡±
A crisp morning. Refreshing air.
After all, road work was best at a time like this.
¡°Hey, Earth. Are you all right now?¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Ora, no matter what you think, you were obviously acting strange for a while now.¡±
¡°Well, I see.¡±
¡°Yes. You were so worn out and withered... but, are you okay now? You didn¡¯t get sick or anything, did you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine¡±
¡°Then why were you doing that?¡±
It seemed that these guys were worried too.
Well, of course they were.
I was apanying them in training in that state.
¡°Well...¡±
¡°Wait! wai, wai, waaaaiitt!¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
At that moment, the tter and the rumbling of someone panicking echoed through the church.
Apparently, she was still sleepy, but woke up to the voices of the Mortriage crew and rushed down in a hurry.
¡°I¡¯m going!¡±
It was Amae. At first, I went on road work with Amae on my shoulder.
However, during the drainage period, she was too scared of me to follow.
¡°What? Aren¡¯t you still sleepy?¡±
¡°I¡¯m©`go©`ing!¡±
Now that I¡¯m back to normal, it looks like she¡¯ll being along again.
¡°I see. Then, let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Un! Un, shoulders!¡±
¡°Okay okay¡±
I bent a little so that Amae could easily get on, and she jumped up and down with joy.
¡°Big sister! Big sister!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, water bottle, right?¡±
¡°Un!¡±
When Amae called to Elder Sis Tsukshi as she climbed on my shoulder, and as if she knew it, Elder Sis Tsukshi handed Amae a water bottlerge enough to hang on her shoulder.
I praised her for giving me a water bottle at the end of my draining the other day, so she said, ¡°I¡¯m all set,¡± as if she were in charge of the water bottle.
That will increase my load, but I won¡¯t say anything about that.
¡°Go! Fight on! Fight on! Fight on!¡±
¡°Here we go, boys!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
It was like we were a team.
The five of us, along with a young girl who looked like a chaperone, ran through the city in the morning, heading for the ocean.
¡°You¡¯re all back to normal now, Earth!¡±
¡°Ah? What are you saying, I¡¯m always myself!¡±
¡°Haha? You looked sick and messed up!¡±
¡°Apparently, yes. But for that time, I was able to sharpen up a lot of things and nurture what was within me.¡±
¡°What did you nurture?¡±
¡°Fighting spirit.¡±
¡°Fighting spirit? What does that mean?¡±
In road work with these guys, I¡¯m in a handicap with Amae on my shoulders and weights on both hands and feet.
At first, these guys got tired before I did.
But after a while, they were able to keep up with me for some time.
Well, from here on, the dashes and shadows made them talk less and less, but even so, I could see that they were steadily improving.
¡°Fu~¡±
The roadwork from the city to the sea was the warm-up of warm-ups.
It was time to start torturing my body.
From here on out, we won¡¯t be able to chat as nonchntly as usual.
So, before that...
¡°Well, about that Jos¨¦ bastard.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
For them, he was the existence that gave them some sort of motivation in their life and their student life.
And, because of his presence, these guys also decided to be stronger.
So, the man named Jos¨¦ might be both a wall and a goal for these guys, so to speak.
¡°Sure, you¡¯re getting stronger. But still, it¡¯s impossible to say that you can surpass Jos¨¦ right away.¡±
¡°Ugh!? But, Earth, that... I know it¡¯s not easy, but...¡±
¡°Yes. You may not be able to do it right away. But in the days toe, and over time, that will change... but...... before that...... the tournament wille.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s...¡±
¡°So I want to ask you guys something.¡±
It was confirmation to these guys, too.
¡°I¡¯ll be participating in the uing tournament. And I¡¯m going to win. In other words, if that Jos¨¦es out, I will fight Jos¨¦ at some point. And I¡¯ll beat him up.¡±
It¡¯s a certainty that Jos¨¦ will also be in the tournament.
And it¡¯s also a challenge for me to win.
In other words, I¡¯m going to knock out Jos¨¦, who they¡¯re chasing with gritted teeth, in public.
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s...¡±
¡°Ugh...¡±
¡°............¡±
Is that a good thing or a bad thing for these guys?
¡°If you witness it... then what will happen to you? Will you feel refreshed? Or will you lose motivation? You¡¯re gritting your teeth, so one day you¡¯ll want to beat the guy with your own hands, right?¡±
The Mortriage crew seemed bewildered by my question.
¡°But do you mind if I beat him up first?¡±
Wouldn¡¯t they lose their goals if I messed up Jos¨¦, who they were desperately trying to ovee?
Even though we¡¯ve only known each other for a short time, they¡¯re the ones who have been running behind me.
I wanted to make sure, because I felt that our rtionship wasn¡¯t so shallow that I could say ¡°I don¡¯t care about that¡±.
Then, surprisingly...
¡°We¡¯re not working hard just to get back at Jos¨¦...¡±
It was Budeo who answered my question.
He was always first to whine and get worn out ... but for some reason he participates in training every day.
¡°I want to change myself... that¡¯s why... so, yeah... it¡¯s hard, but I want to be stronger. So...... even if Earth blows Jos¨¦ away, I won¡¯t stop there... no, it might ck off a little, but... I¡¯ll keep going...... it¡¯ll be tough, but... yes, I¡¯m going to try a little more! Little Amae will support me.... I want to show the sisters of the church my cool side.¡±
Budeo¡¯s own answer, though notpletely assertive.
However, rather than being told ¡°I will do my best even if Jos¨¦ is defeated¡±, this felt more like Budeo¡¯s true heart.
Then, Mortriage also chuckled...
¡°If Jos¨¦ was knocked down in front of me and that made me lose motivation... it¡¯d be like we were still stuck at the back of the school building.¡±
¡°Generally, even you, though you were in that sickly state, were working very hard... we can¡¯t just end up aplishing nothing.¡±
¡°Yes. I want to beat Jos¨¦, too. But most of all... I want to change myself...¡±
These guys have been training for a while now. And it seems that they have sensed something from my training during the draining period.
So there is no problem with defeating Jos¨¦.
I received the answer.
So.....
¡°Amae¡±
¡°Un?¡±
¡°Lend me the water bottle.¡±
¡°Un!¡±
I received the water bottle from Amae and gave it to Mortriage.
¡°Here you go.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Take turns drinking.¡±
¡°Eh, ah, erm... ng... right, Oratski.¡±
¡°S, sure... nng... Mobner.¡±
¡°Th, thank you. Puha~... Yes.¡±
¡°Ngokyu, ngokyu. ...... Pu-~ ...... I drank it, too.¡±
¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll be thest one... Pu-hah~!¡±
I passed the water bottle to Mortriage, Oratski, Mobner, and Budeo and drank it, and finally it was back in my hand.
And I also put my mouth on the water bottle I received and drank it.
¡°Earth? What the hell...¡±
¡°I¡¯ve met the guy, went through a lot of things along the way, and I¡¯m kind of pissed off at this Jos¨¦ bastard.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel like bullying the weak, but I¡¯m not so soft-hearted that I¡¯ll just sit back and let it go peacefully when it¡¯s okay to openly punch someone I¡¯m really pissed off at. So I¡¯ll hit him. But I¡¯ll also put your feelings in my fist.¡±
Yes, since I¡¯m going to beat Jos¨¦, I have to at least send their feelings through.
¡°We sweated together like this and we sipped the same water.¡±
I turned over the empty water bottle after drinking it as I was talking.
¡°Earth... you...... have you changed a little in thest few weeks?¡±
¡°Kuhahahaha, well, I guess I¡¯m a little stronger, right?¡±
Hearing my words, the four smiled mirthfully at the same time, and...
¡°¡±¡±¡±Hmm? Or rather, we¡¯re going to perform dashes and shadows on the sandy beach from now on, and you drank up the water, what do we do?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°......... eh?¡±
............ Ah!?
¡°Aaaah¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±What the heck are you doing?¡±¡±¡±¡±
I thought that went well myself, but it was a fail damn it.
On top of that......
¡°Mmmmm! Amae didn¡¯t drink any!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Dummy! Gusu, Amae is the only one left out... gusu.¡±
Amae cried and angrily pulled my hair in protest.
Apparently, she was upset that she was the only one who didn¡¯t get to drink, that she was left out.
¡°Hey, Earth, what have you done!¡±
¡°Sheesh, that posed look, I never...¡±
¡°Hahaha, really!!¡±
¡°Earth! You shouldn¡¯t make Amae cry!¡±
¡°Eeeii, shut it! Humans can live without drinking water for a few weeks if they feel like it!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±You looked like you were on the verge of dying!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
But I wonder what it is. I feel bad for Amae, but we wereughing.
¡°Anyway, no water today! Follow me expecting to die! Dash!¡±
¡°Damn, I¡¯m already spent! Come on, guys!¡±
¡°Definitely, I¡¯ll do it!¡±
¡°Uh, what¡¯s going to happen...¡±
¡°I, I¡¯ll, be troubled if it gets that difficult~¡±
However, it was a fulfilling and enjoyable time that I couldn¡¯t taste during the draining period.
However, the more fulfilling and enjoyable the time, the faster the time seems to go by.
At first, when I came to this country, I felt that the three months before the tournament would be long.
However, before I knew it, the tournament was just around the corner¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D

Thank you for your help. Yesterday, a nice 1 review...... Reviews will be called spirits from now on.
Yesterday, I received a wonderful 1 spirit. I¡¯m burning up again. Thank you.
Recently, in writing this chapter, I went through a lot of movies and manga about boxing, and as a result, I¡¯ve been burning up, and now I¡¯m even more fired up.
Chapter 129 – Early Morning, Again
Chapter 129 ¨C Early Morning, Again
Tranted by: Sads07
My end goal was not to win the tournament, but to go further beyond.
But still, as long as winning the tournament was my current goal, I set my sights on it.
A week before the tournament, I focused on rxing to get myself in the best physical and mental condition possible.
And the morning greeted me, I slept well, not having any trouble sleeping due to nervousness.
¡°Hmm... it¡¯s finally here.¡±
There was no sense of difort in my body.
I felt a warrior¡¯s tremor.
This feeling was the same one I had before the Commemorative Match.
¡°Come to think of it, my match... in the end, what happened after I left? Was it canceled? Well, no matter, this time... I will go all the way.¡±
In the Commemorative Match, due to the intrusion of my mother and father and my running from home urring back to back, and I wasn¡¯t able topete until the end.
But this time I will give it my all.
¡ºFull of confidence, are you not?¡»
¡°But I can¡¯t let my guard down, and I won¡¯t underestimate my opponents. It¡¯s about time I had at least one title to my name.¡±
¡ºIs that so?¡»
Yes, this was a checkpoint. But still, I want victory now.
I¡¯ve done a lot of things since I was a kid.
But I¡¯ve never been the ¡®best¡¯ at anything.
Not in swordsmanship, magic, grades, piano recitals, painting contests, and so on.
Somehow, I have never been crowned the winner or gotten first ce, losing to the Princess, Rebal and Fu.
That¡¯s why I want it.
¡°That¡¯s why... hey, littledy, shouldn¡¯t you wake up soon?¡±
¡°Un~... un? ...... hafu!?¡±
¡°Yo, good morning.¡±
Before getting up... I wake up the girl sleeping in my bed clinging to my chest.
The youngdy had the audacity to sneak into my bed in the middle of the night and went to sleep.
Now that my senses have been sharpened, I knew what was going on, but I allowed it with an open mind.
Then she yawned once, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and looked at me with her eyes fluttering...
¡°Ah... u... ah.¡±
Suddenly embarrassed, her face blushed red as she opened both eyes.
¡°Oh, what¡¯s wrong~? Hmm~? Hmm~? Hmm~?¡±
¡°Uh, ah, ugh...¡±
¡°Why did you sneak into my bed~? Hey, Amae. Oh?¡±
She turned her head to the side with her lips pouting as she poked and prodded with her left and right index fingers.
Anyway, I guess she was lonely or something like that, but it¡¯s interesting, so let¡¯s tease her some more.
¡°This isn¡¯t your room, is it? Hey~, Amae.¡±
¡°U~...... b, by mistake...¡±
¡°You can¡¯t make a mistake, can you~? Your room is in apletely different area from here, isn¡¯t it~?¡±
¡°Uh... u~...... because...¡±
Amae gives off an aura that said ¡°don¡¯t bully me anymore¡± while looking away.
Well, I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯ll give her a break now.
However, she¡¯s been very clingy in thesest three months.
At first, she wouldn¡¯t even make eye contact.
¡°There. Let¡¯s wash our faces and go to the dining hall, okay? I¡¯m going straight to the venue, so no roadwork today.¡±
¡°Mu~¡±
¡°So, don¡¯t be shy, and cheer me on as much as you can today, okay? Then, as a reward, we¡¯ll y a lot tomorrow.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
As I said that, I got up with Amae under my arm and patted her on the head.
Then, Amae also suddenly looked surprised, and smiled at the next moment.
¡°Un! I¡¯ll cheer! Do your best, fight on!¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going to do my best.¡±
It felt nice and calm.
I was also rxed and smiling.
¡°Oh, good morning! Earth!¡±
¡°Hiiya, big brother! ...... Is that Amae? Where were you?¡±
¡°...... d, don¡¯t know...¡±
When I went to the dining hall, the sisters were preparing breakfast.
I didn¡¯t go for road work today, so I could have a proper breakfast.
¡°Atst, Earth. So? How are you doing?
¡°No problem.¡±
¡°Yes... hmm...... I see...¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi confirmed my condition and gave a smile... or so I thought, her expression seemed to be somewhatplicated.
Well, that¡¯s right.
Elder Sis Tsukshi likes Machio.
However, Elder Sis Tsukshi doesn¡¯t want Mr. Machio to win this tournament.
That¡¯s why she¡¯s rooting for me.
However, it would be quite painful to not be able to cheer the person you purely liked from the bottom of your heart in such a tournament.
However, if Mr. Machio wins the championship, he and Kron will... this situation was quite a dilemma.
I have to win this, no matter what.
However, the winner having a child with Kron could just be Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s imagination.
¡°Earth, we¡¯ll be there to support you today. We¡¯ll cheer you on together with Mortriage and the others!¡±
¡°Today, Oratski will be there... yes, we¡¯ll support you together.¡±¡±
¡°If Mobner is too shy to shout, leave it to me! I¡¯ll p him on the back and make him scream.¡±
¡°I¡¯m making a lot of boxed lunches. Budeo eats a lot, so it should at least be that much!¡±
Today, it seemed the other Sisters wille out to support me, and I... huh? What? I wonder...... those guys and these sisters... huh? Hmm? Hmm~?
¡°Ah...¡±
¡°...... Ah...¡±
And, questions momentarily crossed my mind, but they were already gone now.
Sadiz, who brought soup from the kitchen, and I suddenly came across each other.
¡°...... Good morning.¡±
¡°Hi.¡±
¡°...... Well, today¡¯s the day... how are you?¡±
¡°Nothing to worry about.¡±
¡°...... Is that right...¡±
¡°Oh...¡±
It¡¯s not awful, but I still felt there was some distance between us that kept us from joking with each other,ughing, or doing things like we used to.
It¡¯s been three months now.
I was a little sad about that, but at the same time I remembered something from before.
¡°That day... in the morning...¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°...... No...... it¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re alsoing today, right?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯m... nning on it.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
On the morning of the match, I talked to Sadiz like this, and that was when I teased her for the first time, for my reward.
And confidently and proudly.
¡°I¡¯ll show you. So, keep your eyes peeled.¡±
¡°...... eh....¡±
Just like that time, I¡¯ll show Sadiz today.
Whether she had her memory or not, I needed to.
As if telling myself, I told Sadiz that.
¡°I wish you the best~!¡±
In such a unique atmosphere, a nonchnt voice resounded in the dining hall.
The sisters quickly stood up in a hurry and bowed their heads in greeting.
¡°Kron...¡±
¡°Ufufufu, this day has finallye, Earth.¡±
¡°It has.¡±
¡°Hmm, that is right.¡±
It was Kron. With a smile on her face, she looked straight into my eyes and nodded as she tried to assess who I am now.
¡°Yes! Apparently full of energy, I think today¡¯s Earth is very good.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
¡°Because of our positions, me and Jamdi¡¯el will be watching from the special guest seat today, so in the interest of fairness, I can¡¯t cheer for Earth alone, but I¡¯ll be watching you closely! So, please show me, won¡¯t you?¡±
Somehow, Kron¡¯s words smoothly permeated into me.
Kron didn¡¯t tell me ¡°good luck¡± but said, ¡°I¡¯ll be watching¡±.
¡°Yeah. You¡¯ll have to keep your eyes open, too.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
That was enough for me, so I nodded back to Kron.
¡°...... Un~...¡±
¡°Hmm? What¡¯s the matter? Earth.¡±
¡°Eh, ah, nothing...¡±
¡°?¡±
That was close. I stared at Kron too much.
If Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s prediction is right and I epted, I¡¯d be with Kron... this fellow... I was thinking about that.
¡ºOi... what shall you do on that matter?¡»
What am I gonna do?
At any rate, I refuse to just sit back and let others decide my path for me ording to their own convenience.
That¡¯s what made me who I am today.
Of course, Jamdi¡¯el won¡¯t stay silent if that happens, but I won¡¯t go quietly either.
¡°Un, Amae will watch too! Fight on fight on!¡±
¡°Oh, yes yes, that¡¯s reassuring and encouraging.¡±
¡°Ufufufufu, please, Amae. Cheer me on. And Sadiz too.¡±
¡°...... eh? Oh, yes, I, I¡¯ll, do... that...¡±
But for now, the first priority is to win.
I ate my breakfast with gusto.
I¡¯m not going to have the same kind of morning as I did then.
This time, I¡¯ll give it my all without any regrets!
Once again, I got fired up.
Author¡¯s Note
It was the first time I¡¯ve received a 7th spirit for a single work, and I was worried that I would have to write about it, andst night in Minami I asked, ¡°Hey, naked guy, do you have ns? A second one? Third? Just going to have a drink at a bar for now!¡±. I was wondering if I should decline the invitation of the beautiful woman who might have been destined to be my partner, and what I should do... when I received an 8th injection of spirit, so I dashed home to write.
No, thank you very much. Drinking water and calming down may have helped me in many ways.
s, I might have been in a situation where even if the hair of my ass was pulled out and a nosebleed would note out.... And, while I was typing, I got hit by a 9th spirit. Funuoooooo!!!!!!!
Chapter 130 – I Won’t Shut Up
Chapter 130 ¨C I Won¡¯t Shut Up
Tranted by: Sads07
A secluded nation isted from the world. Only a small portion of the poption goes out to the outside world, and has little to do with other countries.
The country used to be a tyrannical and oppressive ce where the royal family in the ind had severely tormented the people with heavy taxes and other issues.
Eventually, the people couldn¡¯t take it anymore and rose up, plunging the country into a long civil war.
And the civil war ended, and the people¡¯s revolutionary faction has won... apparently.
What supported them was their faith in God and the presence of a goddess who descended from heaven and drew the blood of God.
¡°Oh... God¡¯s Statue can also be found here.¡±
¡ºUgh, Nu...¡»
The former regime¡¯s training ground has now be the arena of the tournament now.
It was smaller than the Imperial City¡¯s arena, but it¡¯s likely to amodate thousands of spectators.
In front of the arena, there was a statue of Tre¡¯ainar in a pose with both hands spread out from side to side.
¡°Please grant your graces~? Oh God~ Oh God~ ¡°
¡ºCease that at once!¡»
¡°Kuhahahahahaha!¡±
It was so funny, so I put my hands together towards the statue in prayer, as a means of teasing Tre¡¯ainar.
As expected, Tre¡¯ainar looked embarrassed by his own statue.
¡ºAnyway, wrap the Magical Bandage now. I shall give you a phantom spar.¡»
¡°Osu.¡±
I took the bandage out of my pocket and wrapped it around my fist.
I tighten my grip and roll it up so that I can put force into it.
¡ºNow then,e.¡»
¡°Shah!¡±
Unlike our spars in ¡¾Vier¡¿, there¡¯s no contact or counterattack from Tre¡¯ainar here.
This is just for checking the form.
¡°Shhi!¡±
Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t hit me, but he does check my rhythm by putting in a handling action.
For me, both the left and the right felt sharp.
The sound of my punches cutting the wind and bouncing off the air echoed, and the people passing by stopped to look at me.
¡°Wow, what is that?¡±
¡°F, fast!¡±
¡°Better yet, how many blows was that?¡±
Breaths leaked, and a slight moan ran.
Actually, I¡¯m a bit troubled if I get noticed or cause surprised at this level, but now I am not worried about what people think.
¡°You¡¯d have to see it from a distance to know how many punches have been thrown. Moreover, that¡¯s not the only thing that¡¯s frightening...¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh!¡±
When I was called out and turned around, there was Mr. Machio.
¡°Yo, Mr. Machio.¡±
¡°Hmm... we meet in the same dojo almost every day.... I was looking forward to seeing youpete today, but... seeing you face to face like this... as I thought, you¡¯ve gotten much stronger.¡±
He saw me and gave me apliment at the very beginning. It was a little embarrassing.
¡°By the way, Earth. I was curious... who were you fighting just now? No matter how you look at it, it¡¯s someone of considerable ability. It looked like you were being pushed around.¡±
And, as expected, Mr. Machio.
He didn¡¯t think I was just shadowing into an empty space.
It seemed he sensed from my appearance that I fought assuming someone in the world of fantasy and delusion.
¡°Who... God, I guess?¡±
¡°Wh... at?¡±
¡ºHey hey¡»
At my words, Mr. Machio made a dazzled face.
I guess he didn¡¯t expect I¡¯d make such a joke.
But it¡¯s funny, because this is actually true.
¡°Fufufu, hahaha... yes I see. But let¡¯s keep that a secret from the master. Even if it¡¯s a supposed fight, opposing God would summon her imperial wrath.¡±
¡°Whoa, that was a close one.¡±
¡°Ah. Well, anyway... let¡¯s give our best. Earth.¡±
Saying that, Mr. Machio held his hand out to me with a refreshing smile.
Shaking hands before a fight... it¡¯s really refreshing.
Strong? Gentle? Muscr? That¡¯s why Elder Sis Tsukshi fell in love.
¡°Yeah. To each other.¡±
¡ºOi, do not get too friendly with the enemy before battle.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said. But then again, Mr. Machio was a good guy.
I was a little out of sorts, but I firmly gripped his hand back.
And then......
¡°That you~, Machio~?!¡±
¡°Shaking hands with youngsters in front of the venue, is he a fan? I envy your poprity.¡±
¡°That said, I¡¯m gonna beat you today, right? That¡¯s why I¡¯ve been training bloody hard.¡±
¡°Excuse me! Winning is what I¡¯ll do! Shhhh¡±
One after another, a group of people with a distinctly different atmosphere from the other guests began to gather.
A well-trained bodyparable to those in the dojo.
Eyes that were also ring for victory.
But I¡¯ve never met him in the dojo.
¡°Hmm, long time no see. You guys too.¡±
Mr. Machio seemed acquainted with them.
Then, Mr. Machio tilted his head to me...
¡°Earth, let me introduce you. They are representatives of our branch dojos for this tournament.¡±
¡°Eh? Branch?¡±
¡°Yes. The Arcane True Zenith Dojo has branches in remote towns and other areas. We¡¯re at the Conarmy City Headquarters.¡±
Oh,e to think of it, Jamdi¡¯el exined that to me at the beginning.
At that time, I had just regained consciousness after being kidnapped, so I wasn¡¯t able to focus on that.
¡°Gord branch, Zabers branch, Mechros branch, Central branch, etc... today is a tournament of representatives selected from all nine dojos and external participants like you and Jos¨¦.¡±
Other branches? No, I didn¡¯t check any of them out other than Mr. Machio.
It¡¯s not like there were many of Machio¡¯s ss in the world. In the first ce, Machio was the strongest in the dojo.
¡°So, Machio. Who is he?¡±
¡°Ah. His name is Earth. He¡¯s an external participant.¡±¡±
¡°Heh, he¡¯s young.¡±
¡°Young, but don¡¯t you underestimate him. He¡¯s a powerhouse with master¡¯s endorsement.¡±
¡°Eh!? What? The Master!?¡±
When Mr. Machio exined to the other chapters about me, their expressions changed right away.
¡°You¡¯re a tough guy, are you? You.¡±
The friendly atmosphere changedpletely, and he asked me while ring and as if putting pressure on me.
I¡¯ll take that pressure head on and answer back.
¡°To prove it, I¡¯m going to win the tournament. Me!¡±
Deration of victory.
¡°This guy...¡±
¡°Heh, you¡¯re telling me?¡±
¡°Yes, He has good eyes. So intense.¡±
¡°Oh, a strong one.¡±
Then, I expected them to react to my remarks with ¡°cheeky kid¡±, but it was different.
When they looked at me, they nodded with a smile as if they had felt my power in their own way.
However, others did not...
¡°Wow, he¡¯s here... I see... the High Priestess said he¡¯d be in the tournament.¡±
¡°Eh~, is this tournament open to just anyone~? How demoralizing~¡±
¡°This is the day when everyone learns the legend of Jos¨¦, a sacred tournament...¡±
¡°But no matter who you¡¯re against, it won¡¯t matter to you, will it, Jos¨¦?¡±
¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve failed to cut him many times, but... Senior, I leave it to you to hand discipline to him.¡±
Ah, here ites...
¡°Hmm? What the hell is that?¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s a specialty of this town... more or less, don¡¯t make light of him.¡±
¡°Students? Ah, you mean the genius?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard that he was popr with the women, but that¡¯s quite a feat.¡±
¡°That¡¯s one of the favorites to win this tournament?¡±
The appearance of five bitches. Mr. Machio exined with a little sigh, and the other branch members nodded as if they were in agreement.
And then......
¡°Don¡¯t be too hopeful. I don¡¯t like to stand out, but ... guess I have no choice... for the time being, I have to win the championship.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Come on, (Mr) (Senior) Jos¨¦ sigh~?¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°What? Him...... Oh, he¡¯s going to be in the tournament, too. Well, he¡¯s not a big deal, so whatever.... and that¡¯s the Machio that the High Priestess was talking about... Hmm.¡±
Finally, the dude, who I can¡¯t wait to destroy right here, right now, has made his entrance.
And he looked at me with cold, condescending eyes.
He seemed to have just recalled me participating in the tournament, but immediately seemed uninterested.
¡°So that¡¯s the genius, Jos¨¦? Earth, what do you think?¡±
¡°He¡¯s really unpleasant!!¡±
¡°...... No, I didn¡¯t mean that... Or rather, your voice is loud.¡±
Machio also smiled wryly at my reply.
However, it was unavoidable.
No other description came to mind.
And maybe they heard my voice, the dude who will make me vomitter, and five shits who are only biologically women.
I looked away.
¡°Hey, you! I can hear you!¡±
¡°Yeah. I meant for you to hear me. A bunch of obnoxious mass-produced waste of space!¡±
¡°What!?¡±
One of the angry-faced shits yelled at me... one shit.
And the moment I talked back, there was always a ¡°dude¡± that would be shaken up until it became uglyter...
¡°You! What did you say... to the people I care about?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me? Then, one more time ¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Shut ¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°You shut up!!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not gonna shut up today. And I won¡¯t back down, I can¡¯t give in.¡±
Usually, this guy would threaten the other party by stomping the ground and the walls with a sharp ¡°Shut up¡±, but for the first time, I charged back at him.
And he¡¯s surprised at my defiance, as I¡¯ve always done as I¡¯m told, they all were.
¡°So if you want me to shut up... then shut me up. In this tournament!¡±
I said, just to add insult to injury.
And then......
¡°Ah ... d ... dear me. Don¡¯t you know that weak dogs bark louder?¡±
He seemed confused for a moment, but the dude cleared his throat afterward to smooth over his crumbling expression, and tried to say something cool.
But!
¡°Kuhahahahaha, are you stupid? Dude. This is the human world. Why are you bringing up matters of the dog world?¡±
¡°What?¡±
I¡¯m not going to shut up anymore. I¡¯ve decided not to put up with it today.
¡°Still, if you have such a fondness for it, why don¡¯t I brand you like a dog? You¡¯ll be branded a loser.¡±
¡°Y, you... tch... such a trash talker...¡±
So I¡¯ll dere it to him.
¡°Hold on, wh, what¡¯s with this guy?¡±
¡°This guy... what do you mean? So far... different?¡±
The shits seemed upset.
Even the shit that always goes, ¡°sh, sh, I¡¯ll cut you,¡± is at a loss for words.
And......
¡°Will all tournament participants, please assemble! We will determine the brackets by lottery!¡±
At that time, the voice from the tournament¡¯s organizers resounded.
Come on, we¡¯re almost there.
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone, Thank you for your continued support.
Yesterday, I was hit with a double shot. To be honest, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve received more than 10 spirits, and I¡¯m too hot to worry about catching a cold. Moreover, when I woke up in the morning, I was hit by another shot!
In addition, the overall evaluation of 1 million drill countdown was cut to 910,000 yesterday.
I¡¯m really thankful to you.
It is the first time that the spirits and drills have increased so much, and I ran through the shopping district without worrying about the eyes. 910,000 drills left! For the time being, I thought I¡¯d aim for another 10,000 drills by the end of the year.
Best regards from now on!

Chapter 131 ¨C Introductions
Tranted by: Sads07
In addition to the representatives of each dojo, a total of 16 people willpete for victory, including external contestants who participate on the rmendation of Jamdi¡¯el and others.
A lottery will be drawn to decide the matchups of the tournament.
However, unlike the time of the previous game, the lottery is not drawn in front of arge crowd, but it seems that the lottery is first drawn in a ce like a waiting room and then announced to the gathering spectators afterwards.
¡°Right, Machio Proteen. No.16. It will be the eighth match in the first round.¡±
As the contestants continued to draw lots and their names were being recorded on the nk tournament table, I remembered the time of the previous match.
At that time, in order to fight Rival, I flipped the lottery over and picked a number, and I pulled the number 1.
But this time...
¡°Next Earth Lagan¡±
¡°Osu. Hmm... Whoa... number one.¡±
¡°Got it, Earth Lagann, No.1. You will be facing Jos¨¦ Drag in the first round, match one.¡±
¡°...... haha.¡±
This time I drew it myself. The same number.
And the opponent was that dude.
¡ºWere you aiming for that?¡»
¡°If possible... I hoped.¡±
¡ºFufufufu, you drew it yourself. Well, tis both luck and skill.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also grinning. He seemed to be in a good mood.
¡°Humph!¡±
And the moment he realized he was going to face me in the first round, my opponent had a clearly unpleasant look on his face.
¡°Heh.¡±
But I¡¯m happy with this.
Because if he faced Mr. Machio in the first round, I wouldn¡¯t be able to hit him with my own hands.
I don¡¯t want to let my guard down.
But I have a general idea of what he¡¯s capable of.
That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to bully the weak.
It¡¯s just that I won¡¯t feel better if I don¡¯t give him a single shot.
¡°Well, then the table is decided! These are the matchups.¡±
Then, all the participants finished drawing the lottery, and thepleted match table was posted on the wall.

I guess I¡¯ll be facing Mr. Machio in the finals.
In a way, it¡¯s an idealbination. I¡¯m not sure about the others.
¡°Now, in the order of this matchup, the host will call everyone out for introductions, so we will ask all of them to appear in the arena once. After that, the first two fighters of the opening round will remain in the arena and have their match.¡±
¡°Osu.¡±
¡°Hah!¡±
¡°Just so you know, the rules are anything but killing and grievous injury to the opponent! That¡¯s all for the exnation! Good luck!¡±
It was a fairly simple exnation of the rules. I felt like there were a few in the previous match, but anyway, this one seemed more a pure struggle.
¡°Fufu, you and I ended up onpletely opposite mountains.¡±
¡°Yeah. See you in the finals, as promised!¡±
¡°...... Hou...¡±
When the tournament officials finished the exnation, Mr. Machio came over and spoke to me.
Indeed, we¡¯re on exact opposites. But I was fine with that.
And finally......
[Well,dies and gentlemen! Thank you for joining us and wee to the Arcane True Zenith Style Fighting Tournament!!]
Atst, the host of the event started things off outside.
[And now, I would like tounch thispetition between 16 men who will determine the pinnacle of martial arts in this country! Please watch to the end!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
It¡¯s quite exciting. It¡¯s not as big as the Imperial Capital, but the passion isn¡¯t lost.
It felt like the ground was shaking a little bit.
[Now, I will introduce the men who willpete in order of the matchups! Men among men,e on down!!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
[Well, let¡¯s start with this guy!!]
The ring enthusiasm hit my skin. There¡¯s no way you won¡¯t get fired up with this.
With a waning expression, the dude, who¡¯s about to be sent flying by me, had a look that seemed to say ¡°Dear Me¡± on his face. To start with, aren¡¯t you a man??
¡°Whoa, there¡¯s Earth! Fight on!¡±
¡°Big brother, let¡¯s go! Show us the results of that ¡®Special Training¡¯ with me!¡±
¡°Go for it, go for it, go!¡±
¡°Best of luck ...¡±
¡°Go, Earth!¡±
¡°Ora, for the win!¡±
¡°Hang in there!¡±
¡°Fight, Earth!¡±
And the moment I stepped into the arena, there was a huge roar of excitement from a part of the audience.
Seemed everyone came to see and cheer for me.
Hmm?
¡°Ahaha, this is a bit awkward, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s fine, Big Sister. The High Priestess also said that this is the proper attire for cheering, right?¡±
¡°Fight on! Fight on!¡±
¡°I, I¡¯m a little embarrassed, but...¡±
That¡¯s?! Simr to the outfit that Sadiz wore when she was cheering for me at the Commemorative Match!?
Waving ball-shaped tassel-like tools or ¡°pompons¡± in each hand, the sisters, plus Sadiz, were in blue sleeveless tops and short skirts.
Oh, even Amae.
¡°Fufufu, it¡¯s Earth.¡±
¡°Lady Kron, do not you wave your hand, okay?¡±
¡°I know~ Not just Earth, but today we watch everyone with an impartial eye!¡±
¡°Splendid.¡±
At the top of the audience seats, Kron sat in a big throne-like chair with Jamdi¡¯el by her side.
For a moment, she seemed about to wave her hand at me with a smile, but perhaps she was cautioned by Jamdi¡¯el, she immediately withdrew her hand.
[Will the sudden appearance of thiset be a bad omen or hope for the future? All the numbers he produced at the dojo are top ss in the rankings! An unknown powerhouse who even sparred with that strongest Machio! Now is the time to show us what you¡¯re really made of! The ¡®Supernova¡¯, Earth Lagann!]
And with a loud cheer, my... Introduction or whatever!? Who would have thought!?
However, the audience seemed very excited anyway, so I stepped out.
And all the people of the packed venue, who saw me, cheered with joy.
It felt good.
But such introductions, are you going to do it for all of us?
[The rumored genius is finally unveiled. The story of this man, who has broken every record in the Wizarding School and created new magic that even teachers don¡¯t know, has only just begun! Burn the new legend into your eyes! ¡®The Great Sage of Heaven¡¯, Jos¨¦ Drag!]
¡«
[The era where the Strong stand at the pinnacle of power is over! To the powerless, he brings a call to arms! To overthrow the power, ¡®Soldier of Devastation¡¯ Jawara Theoi!]
¡«
[A man who was once a national hero! The old regime was defeated and the revolutionplete. But he is not yet defeated! He may have lost his Lord, he hasn¡¯t lost his fangs! ¡®The Exiled Rebel Swordsman¡¯, Gran Chario Nanhoshi,!]
¡«
[The fist in your hand is power, skill, and path! A man who continued to pursue only one technique without turning a blind eye to the various genres of the Arcane True Zenith! That fist will finally be unleashed! The ¡®Fist of Destruction¡¯, Krouby Seiken!]
¡«
[If you¡¯re the best at everything, then why even try? There¡¯s no point in having a tournament. He boldly proimed! Whether throws, grapples, punches or kicks, he is the devil¡¯s strongest! ¡®The Jack of All Fighting Trades¡¯, Juju Brasilia!]
¡«
[Let¡¯s teach you the weight of history! The oldest man of Arcane True Zenith dojo steps forward! He mastered his skills 10 years ago! Usually, an ally to housewives with his guidance on the Magical Tai Chi healing methods. But today, he¡¯s your adversary! The ¡®Veteran Warrior¡¯, Wacha Huacha!]
¡«
[Skill? Muscle? All you need is a gargantuan body! And the size of the body is natural talent! Skinny warriors who were not chosen by God, he¡¯ll show you reality now! The ¡®Super Heavy Freak¡¯, Khaldash Zuvary!]
¡«
[Whoaaaaah, this man is allowed to participate? When did he get out?? The disgrace of the Arcane True Zenith dojo that was locked up in prison for a certain crime! However, his skill is the real deal! What¡¯s on your mind, High Priestess? The ¡®Cavern Seeker¡¯, Danchok Jahr!]
¡«
[The moment this man joined the branch that was on the verge of copse because there were too few students, a flood of beginners also applied! What¡¯s interesting is that most of the students are women! Every day that a teacher is loved by his students, he¡¯s working properly! I envy you, you son of a bitch! ¡®The Little Giant¡¯ Shota¡¯o Honeb.]
¡«
[He desires victory more than anyone! Due to that obsession, no one wants to spar with this man. But he doesn¡¯t mind. He doesn¡¯t need a sparring partner. All he needs is victory! ¡®The Victory Glutton¡¯, Samyng Penalt¨¦!]
¡«
[People have rules to live by. Protecting those rules is justice. He continues to preach the importance of justice to children who have never known civil war, and today the man stands to prove the power of justice! The ¡®Champion of Justice¡¯, Seiss¨¦ Doude!]
¡«
[From now on, using your brain is the power of the new age. And he already knows. That he¡¯s going to win. That¡¯s not a spection, it¡¯s a prophecy. Now, let¡¯s see if it¡¯lle true! The ¡®Absolute Prophet¡¯, Lyron Data!]
¡«
[This man is hell-bent on defeating Machio! Since he once encountered Machio in the bathroom, the man has been in the mountains for a long time, and now he¡¯se home to find the time is right! The man says! ¡®Machio, I¡¯ll show you the greatest man¡¯! The ¡®Symbolic Mountain¡¯, Vigg Mhara!]
¡«
[He finally appeared! Not a member of the old regime, not a revolutionary, not a disciple of the Arcane True Zenith Style, but a man who single-handedly developed an original martial art! Until now, no one had seen the man. But today no one can take their eyes off him! Let us witness a new Martial Art that no one has ever seen before! The ¡®New Martial Arts Founder¡¯, Kab Cavady!]
¡«
[And now, atst, this man! Overflowing with chivalrous spirit, power, and indomitable will! The number one man other men want to embrace. He is so popr even children¡¯s dream rankings say that they want to be like Mr. Machio. He is truly a man among men! The ¡°Superhuman¡± Machio Proteen!]
Somehow, he just kept that tension going until the end. Wow, that host is amazing.
[And there you have it! These 16 men will battle for the title of strongest! And you all. will burn that sight into your memoriiiiiiiiiieeeesss!!!!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
[And now for the opening match! Both are external contestants! However, their talents are at the top of the next generation! It is ¡®Supernova Earth¡¯ vs. ¡®The Great Sage of Heaven, Jos¨¦¡¯!!]
Well, anyway. It¡¯s high time.
¡°Kyaah, isn¡¯t it Jos¨¦ all of a sudden?¡±
¡°And I didn¡¯t expect that person in the first round.¡±
¡°Easy victory then!¡±
¡°Jos¨¦, you¡¯re the winner!¡±
¡°Senior! Please remind the frog in the well who feels proud of uniting all those dropouts!¡±
The other side, too, has a way of disgusting me to the very end.
Soon, I can barely wait for the gong.
Author¡¯s Note
Introducing all the contestants, something that could not be done in the previous match. I wanted to try it once.
And thank you for your new spirits, drills and impacts!
It is twisted and it burns to the best at any time!
Moreover, I will take three consecutive holidays tomorrow!
And speaking of burning, everyone. Do you know what day it is today?
Yes, it¡¯s the opening round of the Rugby World Cup.
Ladies and gentlemen, let¡¯s read my novels early and support the Japanese national team today!
Chapter 132 – In Seconds
Chapter 132 ¨C In Seconds
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Dear me, I don¡¯t like to stand out.¡±
¡°Then, I¡¯ll end this in seconds.¡±
Our fight was the opening match of the tournament.
The venue was lively and full of support for both of us, except for a ¡®section¡¯.
[Now, these two are the youngest participants in this tournament, and both were rmended by the High Priestess. One is an unexpected variant genius who appeared in the Wizarding School, his fame gradually spreading. Never has the depth of his power been witnessed, leaving many of his peers behind in the dust! Young girls attracted to such a man are rushing in droves to cheer him on today!]
And with the words of the heated host... the dude somehow sighed, ¡°Dear me!¡±.
In the meantime, the five bitches were screaming and making a lot of noise.
[On the other side, this man also suddenly emerged. While his origins are all shrouded in mystery, his figures greatly exceed that of the other dojo¡¯s students! And now the sight of him running around town early in the morning is actually bing one of the city¡¯s specialties. Today, even the sisters of the church have alle out in support! I mean, you two are really popr with thedies, you bastards!]
For the time being, I raised my hand and responded to the cheers.
¡°¡±¡±¡±Waaaaaah! Go, Fight on!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
[Hehehehe, let¡¯s go!! Bear witness, as they go all in for victory!]
Amae and the others were excited, so I waved and responded with a smile.
¡°Nonsense. Ultimately, I guess that¡¯s all there is to him.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
Somehow, the dude sighed at me again.
¡°What¡¯s so fun about standing out like that? I can only see a child who is desperate for attention and wanting something to prove himself.¡±
¡°............? Is that so bad?¡±
¡°Someone really strong wouldn¡¯t chatter on so much. He aplishes what he needs to in a quiet and unassuming manner.¡±
¡°Ho~¡±
¡°And even though it¡¯s a festival, this is a battle. Only those who are prepared to be hurt are allowed to fight. You don¡¯t know anything about that, so you can talk so nonchntly.¡±
Can I put in a retort because you¡¯re the one who¡¯s chattering right now?
But I heard something good. This guy was prepared to get hurt, no problem then.
[Ooooh, we have a war of words before the start of the match! Youth! Such is youth, you guys! But I love it! So go ahead, do whatever you want!!]
The host was about to announce the start of the match, but he rather encouraged him to say as much as he wanted.
Really, just ¡°Good Grief¡±.
¡°Kuhahahaha, that¡¯s right. But I¡¯ll say it again and again! This tournament is a checkpoint for me! So winning is not a goal, but a challenge! Just one of the things I need to aplish! So, I¡¯ll win! That¡¯s it! And prove it! Yes, I want to prove myself! As me! To stand out in the crowd, how about, to let the world know that this is Earth Lagann!!¡±
And the spectators, who were so excited, quietly listened to our bickering.
¡°Ambition, goals, and what we aim for are meaningful only if we achieve what we say we will. A quiet and unassuming manner? No, that¡¯s like saying I¡¯m ashamed of my loss or failure, or that I¡¯m not confident I can do it!¡±
¡°Th... that¡¯s¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Shut me up then, you bastard!!¡±
At that moment, the dude assumed an irritated stance, and I also took a fighting pose.
[Whoa, that¡¯s all there is to say! Yes, from here on out, only their strength will do the talking! So, let the first match of the first round, BEGIIIIIINNNNN!!!!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Finally, the battle gong was rung.
Now it¡¯s on.
In the Graduation Match, I wanted to gauge my development against Rebal, so I checked my footwork first.
Next, I checked the feeling on my left.
This time?
No worries, I¡¯ve already checked.
What?
¡°¡¾Bit Fire!!¡¿¡±
I¡¯ve already confirmed that I¡¯ve been dying to blow him away for three months now!!
¡°A sudden magic attack!?¡±
¡°Wha, what is that me!?¡±
¡°Bitfire!? That¡¯s Bitfire!?¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Goooooo, Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Feel regret as you are burned by Senior¡¯s mes!¡±
The looming fire. It¡¯s released to burn everything down as it attacked me.
¡°Everyone¡¯s making a fuss about my magic... is my spell too weak?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Not at all, it means too strong¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And the moment the mes were about to engulf me, he said something again, and I sighed and said...
¡°Ah! He¡¯s so weak that I¡¯m hesitant about knocking him down, pitiful!!¡±
¡°...... eh......?¡±
Everyone¡¯s eyes rolled up at the words I shouted out.
And I shot a jab on the spot.
After all, it was just a mass of fire flying in a straight line.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Screw Jab!¡¿¡±
The mass of mes was extinguished when it collided with the wind pressure of my twisted ¡°jab¡±.
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±............... Eeehh??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Just like that.
For a moment, the eyes of the bastard and the audience, who would not have known what had happened, hardened as if stunned.
There were too many gaps.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿¡±
I just stepped in and instantly came right in front of my opponent.
¡°Yo, why are you just standing there?¡±
¡°Wha, eh, huh, wha!?¡±
¡°I¡¯m right in front of you, see? Where¡¯s the punch?¡±
¡°ts!? You...... take that!¡±
¡°Come on.¡±
When I approached before his eyes and asked, the surprised guy threw a straight right without any feints or build up, so I dodged it by ducking.
And then, aiming for the moment when the dude¡¯s right fist stuck out and his body was fully stretched for a few seconds...
¡°You told me this was all there was to the guy, didn¡¯t you? Anyway...... here¡¯s what I¡¯ve got!!¡±
I stepped into his pocket, clenched my left fist, and he was defenseless, somehow... no, I hit at Jos¨¦¡¯s body.
In that blow, I put in the feelings of ¡°those¡± who sweated together and drank the same water.
¡°Great Demon Sr Plexus Blow!!¡±
¡°Pyuh!?¡±
I thrust my fist into his midsection. Angle, timing, power, speed, all good.
I pierced it in deeply.
Jos¨¦, whose body waspletely stretched, could not fend off the impact and ate it all.
The dude¡¯s spine got bent out of shape.
What fragile abs.
¡°Kah ... huh!? Ka... ah ...¡±
And the next moment, Jos¨¦ stopped as if time had frozen in a mid-back position.
Even the audience fell silent in this situation.
[Wh, wh, wh, wha, what! He got in! Just a few seconds after the start! Jos¨¦¡¯s me is drowned out only by the wind pressure of a high-speed left, then the body attack by diving into the bosom at once! This is!?]
And Jos¨¦ who had stopped......
¡°Jo, Jos¨¦!? Wha... eh? Wh, what are you doing... eh?¡±
¡°Uh, uh ... right? A performance!? That attack isn¡¯t working at all! That¡¯s right!?¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s right, Jos¨¦ only let him have one free hit... right?¡±
¡°Of course! I mean, look at him, Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Yes, Senior won¡¯t be shaken! Even that one gut punch didn¡¯t make him twitch... at all...... eh!?¡±
Even though the five bitches made a fuss, Jos¨¦ wasn¡¯t moving at all for a few seconds.
The next moment, Jos¨¦¡¯s whole body began to tremble as if convulsed...
¡°Ha, ka, ha, u, upuh, uuuh, ubuh!?¡±
His cheeks swelled up as if something instantly overflowed in his mouth, and the next moment he broke down and...
¡°Upuh... O, obeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh, bleeeeeeeehhh!!!!¡±
The entirety of what appeared to be the breakfast he had this morning came out in a sloppy mess from Jos¨¦¡¯s mouth.
¡°Hi!? Jo, Jos¨¦!?¡±
¡°N, n... Nooooooooooo!?¡±
And Jos¨¦, who had thrown up everything from the mouth, copsed to his knees, as fell down onto the mass of ¡°stuff¡± that he had just puked out, covering his entire body with the foul odor, as he writhed in pain while clutching his midsection.
¡°U, ah, ha, uo, ah, u, upuh, u, pu, wha, upu... wh...... w... at?¡±
He couldn¡¯t even scream because of the pain.
A smiting blow to the pit of his stomach, so he couldn¡¯t speak properly because he had difficulty breathing.
However, the only things that came out were vomit and tears that were spilling for some reason.
¡°Jo, Jos¨¦... no way...... it can¡¯t be!? Why? What¡¯s going on?!¡±
¡°Ha, haha ... is this a dream ... what the hell?¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s right, something¡¯s wrong! No, this is also Senior¡¯s strategy!? No, that guy used some underhanded trick! Of course he did!¡±
Some are confused and crying, while others are stunned.
Finally, they came to look like ordinary women.
[Su, such an instant kill!! Overwhelming victory!! Supernova Earth has shattered the genius into pieces! The genius rolls around covered in vomit and still can¡¯t get up! The fight cannot go on! For sure, it¡¯s over! This match goes to Earth Lagann!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And the host dered the match.
At that moment, the audience, which had been silent except for the screams of the women, instantly erupted in cheers.
¡°Am, amazing... Earth! In one shot!¡±
¡°This is intense... if I got that, I¡¯d definitely throw up.¡±
¡°Aw, awesome... big bro!? ...... so... awesome!¡±
¡°It¡¯s a splendid blow. And Amae. If you want to call ¡®that¡¯ out, why don¡¯t you do it?¡±
¡°Unbelievable! It¡¯s incredible! With just a blow to Jos¨¦!?¡±
¡°Ha, haha ... certainly, to knock down Jos¨¦, such ridiculous strength. Ah man!¡±
¡°Uh huh... this goes beyond ¡®serves you right¡¯... already, I feel pity for him, you know?¡±
¡°I have to be careful when sparring with Earth, so that I don¡¯t get hit on the stomach.¡±
Yes. I got support from the cheering party, and even though it was only one shot, I really humiliated the dude.
¡°Ara~, is he all right? Even so, Earth is strong as I thought.¡±
¡°Truly thou is correct. Fufufufu... even if... that was pathetic...¡±
¡°Yes? Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s nothing.¡±
The Goddess and Jamdi¡¯el seemed to be in a good mood, and this was enough...
¡°N, not yet! Th, there is something wrong here... Senior cannot lose?¡±
¡°Soud...¡±
¡°Yes, there¡¯s been foul y! You coward! How dare, how dare you!¡±
And then. The shing woman jumped out of the audience into the arena.
¡°Ah? She¡¯s still as annoying as ever... even the princess looks better.¡±
¡°I will not allow this! I¡¯m going to cut such bullshit down!!¡±
She drew her sword and shed at me.
It was so sudden that the audience and the host were slow to react.
I understood it normally, though.
But......
¡°Be the rust on my sword¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Shatter into pieces.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huh!? Eh...¡±
She jumped at me and tried to swing down to my head, and I clenched my left fist and released a short upper ... that is, a smash.
¡°Ah, eh? Wha, how... eh?¡±
After all, it was just a sword wielded by a woman¡¯s slender arm. Light. Weak. And slow.
¡°Hmm... unfortunately, this is reality. If you can¡¯t ept this reality, then go somewhere inconspicuous, out of everyone¡¯s sight, and flirt with each other until you die.¡±
I broke the woman¡¯s sword in half from the de.
[Hold it! What are you doing, you? Jumping out of the audience and shing at a participant... what the hell are you thinking?]
¡°Sword... my sword... m, my... that kind of...... what the hell... th, this guy... h, he¡¯s... really...... he¡¯s so strong... ho.... how...¡±
[What an event from the first match! Hey, somebody take this girl away! And get Jos¨¦ to the first aid room! Is Earth okay?]
¡°Osu. I¡¯m fine.¡±
[Oh, good. That¡¯s good. No, I¡¯m sorry. I was caught off guard. We will also make sure this doesn¡¯t happen again, and she¡¯ll be punished severely. For now, let¡¯s move to the second match¨D¨D¨D¨D.]
The shing bitch, whose sword was broken by me, trembled in shock.
Sighing, the host called for the organizers, instructed them to take the woman and pukedude away, and apologized to me.
There was a bit of a hup, but they regrouped and could go straight to the second match.
But......
¡°Hi, n, ot... not yet...... yu, I¡¯m not done, I¡¯m just... uh... still not done yet... the match is not over... yet.¡±
Puke covered dude exposed his sorry figure.
Like a newborn horse, he was trying to stand up while holding his legs down.
[See here, Jos¨¦. That is it for the match, Earth wins. It¡¯s your loss.]
¡°No!? I refuse! Not yet, I, Heu, not lost, yet... th, th, this guy did something dirty. Th, th... I won¡¯t be fooled, hyu, i, it¡¯s suspicious! A trap! Such foul y... geho...¡±
Jos¨¦ was hobbling around, but instead of trying to do something, he was acting poorly and shouting at the host, who tried to stop him, saying that the match was over.
But then...
¡°No, u, so far, tte.. Ima big deal, I always won easily, without striving! I can¡¯t lose... thats, it... with, this...... eh...... more, of this, if only...... I drank...... o, earlier...¡±
Jos¨¦ took a vial of liquid from the inner pocket of his clothes.
And as a result, the match was over, but the fight was still on.
Therefore, the start of the second match would be slightly dyed.
Yes, just slightly.
Author¡¯s Note
Well, I was relieved yesterday. The Japan National Rugby Team did it.
As a former Rugby yer, I was still burning.
I¡¯m d I managed to bring the Part 4 tournament at the same time as the World Cup.
I want you to get excited together with me.
Chapter 133 – The Conclusion
Chapter 133 ¨C The Conclusion
Tranted by: Sads07
AN: Aside from that, I haven¡¯t said that I always post only at 7 am, so that¡¯s okay, right?
Yesterday, the Japanese National Team won and it felt good, so let¡¯s go to the next chapter.
*************
Before the tournament, Tre¡¯ainar told me something.
¡ºChild. That one named Jos¨¦ .... he... is partaking in a certain medication that has been contraindicated since ancient times.¡»
It was a few days before the tournament, as I was aching to test my growth.
¡ºJust by taking the concoction, the number of magic holes increases, muscles and magic capacity are elevated, brain functions are clearer and concentration improves... in a manner of speaking, tis a potion that raises one¡¯s levels simply by ingesting it. Tis likely Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s doing.¡»
When I heard about it, I wondered if such a convenient thing really existed, and at the same time I wondered why Mr. Machio and the others would be training normally.
No, if such a thing existed, the Demon King Army wouldn¡¯t have been defeated in the past war.
However, the reason was simple.
¡ºNaturally, there are risks. An overdose may cause abnormalities to ur in the body. In the worst case, you may die. Even if your life is spared, you will have to live with visual impairment, nervous and blood cirction disorders, hearing loss, auditory hallucinations, brain cell destruction,ck of reason, general pain, and various other side effects for the remainder of your days.¡»
Sure enough, there was that much risk.
That¡¯s why it was forbidden.
¡ºWell, that man, Jos¨¦, his case is quite severe. He is young now and still looks healthy, but from what I can tell, he is already experiencing side effects in his daily life. His cells are already worn out. The prosperity of his descendants will no longer be possible.¡»
The remark struck me as a shock.
So, that Jos¨¦ looked so bad, he¡¯s pretty battered up already?
Why did he do that?
By any chance, did Jamdi¡¯el do something to him? Is he being deceived?
If so...?
Then there¡¯s the temper tantrums...
¡ºThe effects of the potion make one easily lose their temper, such as sudden fits of rage in the middle of a conversation and destroying walls and the ground.¡»
Then, like Fu, saying ¡°Are you surprised that my magic is too weak?¡±, is it the thought process that makes him unable to recognize his own power?
¡ºNo, tis simply his stupidity, regardless of the potion. In the first ce, those who wield their power while unaware of how it will affect others and their surroundings, would be the same as a child swinging a knife around without knowing of the danger.¡»
All right, let¡¯s hit him without worrying about it. I thought so at that point.
I mean, it felt like I was making fun of Fu... well, that¡¯s fine, but...
There was such an exchange, but I didn¡¯t think he¡¯d actually do it in public during a tournament, I guess he just lost his patience.
¡°Hah, hah... I..... I can¡¯t, lose...¡±
The oue of the match was already decided, but Jos¨¦ stood up and stared at me if it didn¡¯t matter.
And that thing in your hand was what you¡¯re referring to.
¡°If you drink that, you¡¯ll be stronger, but... isn¡¯t it quite risky?¡±
¡°ts!? Y, you...¡±
The contents of the vial taken out by Jos¨¦. He seemed surprised that I knew about it.
¡°I see... you also, from The High Priestess... receive... Divine Elixir...¡±
¡°No you¡¯re wrong, I don¡¯t drink that!¡±
¡°What...?¡±
Yes, I¡¯m not drinking that stuff. I was just told about it.
That such a thing existed.
Then, Jos¨¦ smiled a little triumphantly at my remark.
¡°Is that so... you weren¡¯t given the Divine Elixir? Or perhaps...... you were afraid of the side effects, weren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Hmm? Hmm~ ... God~... Maybe god doesn¡¯t approve of it, does he?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t be fooled. You and I are different. After all, you couldn¡¯t handle the risks, you¡¯re half-hearted! You may seem a little strong, but don¡¯t get carried away!¡±
Trying to be intimidating while you¡¯re covered in puke just makes you look ridiculous.
However, I was relieved.
¡°I see... so you knew... the risks...... okay then.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°Drink it, if you want. I¡¯m not responsible for your life, I won¡¯t be involved in the path you¡¯ve chosen. If you¡¯re doing it knowing everything, go ahead. That¡¯s on you.¡±
¡°Oh, so pretentious... I¡¯ll show you... my true power!¡±
At that moment, Jos¨¦ was so furious, he vigorously opened the lid of the potion.
[Hey, what¡¯s going on!? So the match is over... Hey! Wh, what is this!? Jos¨¦ suddenly got revitalized... moreover, is that small physique... getting bigger?]
Even though the host tried to stop him, it could no longer reach Jos¨¦¡¯s ear.
And the host and the audience were taken aback by Jos¨¦¡¯s Sudden Mutation.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Jos¨¦? What is it? That liquid?¡±
¡°Come to think of it, when Jos¨¦ beat all the boys at school in their mock battles, he was drinking something, wasn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°Risks? Life? What are you talking about?¡±
Apparently, the women who were lumped together as the Jos¨¦ Girls had no idea either.
How the power this man has in his hands came to be.
¡°Hmm... how uncouth... I thought to consider him, just in case Machio proved ill-suited... he¡¯s not even a viable option...¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°Nay, nothing. For the time being, this match is won by Earth Lagann. That one is beaten. As such, the unseemly battle from here on is in vition of the rules, so please Lady Kron, feel free to support Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°?¡±
Beside Kron at the guest seat, Jamdi¡¯el was watching with cold eyes.
I couldn¡¯t feel any warmth towards this guy in her eyes.
The power that he got may havee from Jamdi¡¯el, but isn¡¯t she interested in it anymore?
It¡¯s really pitiful...
¡°Oouuuuhh! I just hadn¡¯t gotten serious yet! Let me sho... Bueh!?¡±
For the time being, he was noisy, so I punched him in the eye socket with a left jab.
¡°Ge, y, uou ...¡±
¡°Look, you self-intoxicated drunk. Let¡¯s do this already.¡±
¡°Yes, fine! I¡¯ll show you! My seriousness! The magic theory I¡¯vee up with! From here, this world is on my time!¡±
Finally, he came at me in a rage.
Gathering magical power in his palms, and at the same time he came towards me... I didn¡¯t know what he would do, so I just hit a series of left jabs.
¡°Pu, Pyu, ku ... this, no matter how many hits... no need to even avoid it... Pyu, gu, pabu, Shu!?¡±
Jos¨¦ was getting serious, powering up and trying to attack me, but he couldn¡¯t get close to me in the first ce.
It was not the flicker, I just hit basic left jabs.
¡°Gue, u, uza, gu, upu, ba, gou!?¡±
And even the insensitive Jos¨¦ must have noticed by now.
¡°Goo, nu, th, this is!?¡±
No need to avoid it? Wrong.
[Whoa, oh, ooooooh, this is amazing! Earth¡¯s left, left, left! Jos¨¦ seemed suddenly energized and unleashed his power, but he can¡¯t get close at all! That face has begun to swell! Jos¨¦, he can¡¯t react to the punches at all! I can¡¯t even see them! I mean, the fight is already over!]
The host urately described Jos¨¦¡¯s current situation.
Yes, it seems that the potion has increased his physical abilities and concentration, but even with Jos¨¦¡¯s current visual acuity, my lefts are inevitable.
¡°A, awawa, Jo, Jos¨¦... Jos¨¦...¡±
¡°N, no way, Jos¨¦¡¯s face... it¡¯s getting crushed more and more... hi, hiiiiii!?¡±
¡°H, how... that guy...... why, is he... so strong, that person!¡±
¡°No, I can¡¯t watch this anymore!¡±
The Jos¨¦ girls also turned pale.
The sword swinging woman, who was being taken away, also looked back and uttered no words.
¡°Hold on, why can¡¯t that Jos¨¦ kid avoid such a simple left punch? What¡¯s the trick?¡±
¡°It¡¯s true. He¡¯s just punching him in the face...¡±
¡°Oh, it just looks like a repetition of the same punch...¡±
At that moment, someone in the audience said that.
Then, as if to answer the question, I could hear the voices of the other participants who were observing near the entrance gate.
¡°It¡¯s exactly as the audience said, aye. A repetition of the same punch. That¡¯s all it is, aye.¡±
¡°Yup. He¡¯s hitting without any gimmicks. But it¡¯s fast. I can¡¯t read the motion. So it¡¯s impossible to evade it visually.¡±
¡°That can¡¯t be reached by just looking at yourself in the mirror, practicing your form by trial and error and repetition, can it?¡±
¡°True, he must have a very good instructor. Was there anyone at Conarmy headquarters who could do that? Perhaps Machio? Or was it the master herself?¡±
¡°No, it wasn¡¯t me or the Master. He didn¡¯t seem to be training under anyone¡¯s guidance for thest three months. But I know Earth was working harder than anyone else. That left is the fruit of his tremendous training and effort.¡±
¡°How is that possible at such a young age?¡±
¡°Ku... there was no information about him. I need to get that information as soon as possible.¡±
¡°Hahahahaha, well~, in any case, that genius boy... getting back up to fight again is admirable, but... how miserable. He could¡¯ve used a more underhanded approach, such a naive guy.¡±
¡°What do you mean! Teenagers are supposed to be fair and square.¡±
¡°That liquid, wasn¡¯t there something fishy about it?¡±
¡°I mean, you can punch him right in the face all you want, can¡¯t you? Why doesn¡¯t the Earth kid hit with his right?¡±
¡°To put it that way, he¡¯s been on the attack with only his left hand from the start.¡±
¡°He¡¯s overwhelming just with the left... what a scary kid. Cute ass too.¡±
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s some huge balls. What about the testicles?¡±
All the contestants seemed to be watching this fight side by side.
All right, watch a bit longer.
¡°Ku, guuuuu!!¡±
Finally, Jos¨¦, who couldn¡¯t take it anymore, raised both hands to guard his face, I hit him with a left to the wide open body.
If you focus on the top, the bottom will be defenseless. Just like the theory.
¡°Ora!¡±
¡°Ogeboo!?¡±
At that moment, Jos¨¦ spat out the liquid he had just drank.
¡°You certainly got a bit more durable. Thanks to that, I was able to confirm the feeling on my left.¡±
¡°ts!? U, wh, wha... ju?¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t want to have your pride shattered, why don¡¯t you call it quits?¡±
After vomiting for the second time today, I asked Jos¨¦, who was fluttering while holding his stomach down.
Why don¡¯t you give up?
¡°Anyway, you just think you know about the risks of the potion, but you¡¯re actually trying not to think about it, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
¡°Well, won¡¯t say it¡¯s cowardly. I know how you feel. That¡¯s why...¡±
¡°Shut up! What do you know about me!¡±
Then it was then.
¡°Fu... Fufu...... so far...... I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d be so ridiculed. You know nothing about me. The life I¡¯ve lived... my resolve!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
While wiping his mouth, Jos¨¦ released his stance and slowly began to speak.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll tell you if you insist. My past. What happened to me? When I met the High Priestess and why I chose this path? My life that I haven¡¯t told my friends about yet. After hearing this story, you won¡¯t be able to say such cocky things anymore.¡±
And he really tried to talk about it like this...
¡°I don¡¯t caaaaaaaaaare!!!!¡±
¡°Bugoboo!?¡±
I punched him in the face with a left hook and blew him away.
In the next moment, Jos¨¦, who was blown to the edge of the arena, was faintly...
¡°Wh... at, the?¡±
He asked, but the answer was simple.
¡°Do that in the church. I hate people who keep dwelling on the past.¡±
¡ºYes, boomerang!¡»
¡°Nuguh!?¡±
At thest minute, Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent the whole time, gave a quick retort, but it seemed Jos¨¦ waspletely unconscious.
At that moment
[Truly,pletely settled, a perfect victory! Earth Lagann! He advances to the second round with dignity!!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
My victory was shouted again, and a huge cheer went up congratting me, and I raised my fist in response to the cheers.
Author¡¯s Note
What¡¯s wrong with posting two chapters a day!
Everyone was dissatisfied with the fact that the battle with Jos¨¦ did not end in one chapter, so I decided to end it in one day... but I¡¯m tired. Someone, please hit me with a spirit, a drill, or an impact.
Chapter 134 – Difference
Chapter 134 ¨C Difference
Tranted by: Sads07
No damage, no stamina loss, no problems in particr, just my victory.
That said, it¡¯s only the first round. Don¡¯t let your guard down from here.
The men at the entrance gate of the contestants leading to the arena apuded me as I looked across at the unconscious Jos¨¦ and the stunned swordswoman being taken away by the organizers.
¡°Brilliant, Earth.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio.¡±
¡°You showed me a super first-ss fist.¡±
The first person to praise me was Mr. Machio.
Nodding to his words, the other contestants gave me a refreshing, congrattory apuse, despite being my opponents.
But some of them were...
¡°It was impressive, but... I¡¯m not as immature as the guy you just faced, right? I¡¯m not like the inexperienced little girl whose sword got broken in half. Think of it this way, the second round is where the real battle begins.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
And there was a man that was a bit provoking.
He was the only one in the group with a sword at his waist, aboutte twenties to early thirties in age and somewhat dressed like an adventurer?
¡°Who are you?¡±
¡°Gran Chario, I¡¯ll be facing you in the second round.¡±
Somehow, that¡¯s a really cool name ... but ...
¡°Second round... you haven¡¯t fought yet.¡±
¡°Hmm, that too is true. Then, let¡¯s stand on the same stage as soon as possible. In the next match.¡±
¡°Well, in that case, I¡¯ll just watch from afar.¡±
¡°Hahahaha, nice one, you. You¡¯re quite cheeky, but I don¡¯t mind.¡±
Saying so with confidence, he flipped his cloak and spat out unnerving words.
I mean, wouldn¡¯t a cloak be an obstacle in a tournament like this?
¡°Well~, let¡¯s put that aside, how about it, aye? Next time, why don¡¯t youe to our dojo for practice, aye?¡±
¡°How destructive is your fist when you really thrust it out?¡±
¡°I like you. Would you like to train at our dojo in the future?¡±
¡°You¡¯re certainly strong, but you should add more meat on those bones! Next time,e and eat our dojo¡¯s famous hot pot dish!¡±
¡°May I touch your ass?¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we see which of us is bigger?¡± [1]
I was suddenly surrounded by the people from the other dojos as well.
Even when I look at Machio, he¡¯s just smiling gently.
However, I was kind of embarrassed, smelled sweaty, and there were some people who I didn¡¯t want to get involved with, so I slipped out of the circle.
¡°Well,ter then. I¡¯m going to join the audience!¡±
If you¡¯re in a ce like this, you¡¯d still like to be surrounded by gorgeous sisters.
I just said my greetings and ran from the spot.
On the way...
¡°...... Ah...¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah...¡±¡±¡±¡±
I came across those women, who seemed to be on their way to Jos¨¦ who had been carried away.
And the moment they met me, the four of them...
¡°Ah, aah... hi, sa, save... me...¡±
All four began to tremble in fear.
No, what do you think I¡¯m going to do?
¡°Jeez... just go.¡±
¡°... Eh? Ah ... Eh?¡±
¡°Utterly, you¡¯ve been looking down on a lot of people and running your mouths. From now on, you must live with a little more humility.¡±
¡°Uh ... u ...¡±
¡°Go on, git!¡±
¡°Y, yes!¡±
They certainly pissed me off. No, really from the bottom of my heart.
But I¡¯m not going to beat them up to relieve my sorrows.
¡ºHmm, tis very kind of you. Were you not enraged at theirughter and taunts?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said so, as I looked back at the women walking away.
¡°Absolute wastes. I don¡¯t want to deal with that anymore. They¡¯re pathetic enough... that Jos¨¦, too...¡±
I¡¯ve already settled things with Jos¨¦.
So, if they no longer want to get involved with me, that¡¯s fine.
However, I didn¡¯t know at the time, it would be a little while before those women would really suffer the consequences of their actions, but.... that didn¡¯t matter to me.
So.....
¡ºOi, child. There is one matter that bothers me still.¡»
¡°Oh, what is it?¡±
¡ºYou said to Jos¨¦, ¡®I know how you feel¡¯, in thest battle, but...¡»
¡°Hmm? Oh. I meant what I said.¡±
When Jos¨¦ was angry, he said, ¡°What do you know about me?¡± but he meant it.
¡°I thought about it. If I hadn¡¯t met you...¡±
¡ºWhat?¡»
What if I hadn¡¯t met Tre¡¯ainar?
I would still be rotting away in the Imperial Capital.
I would have been coasting through the academy, feeling inferior to the princess, Rebal and Fu, and being crushed under my father¡¯s and mother¡¯s greatness.
¡°And I wondered what I would have done if I had met Jamdi¡¯el first and was offered that potion.¡±
That potion came with risks. However, just drinking would still make me stronger than I am now.
You can get power without sweating, fatigue, or putting in the time and strenuous effort.
What would I have done if I had been offered such a thing back then?
¡°Tre¡¯ainar. If I¡¯m honest, there may certainly be a risk to the potion. But, if it was possible to get out of my current situation with it... and the feeling of wanting to take it... I can understand that.¡±
¡ºWhat was that?¡»
¡°If I hadn¡¯t met you. If I hadn¡¯t been able to experience the joy of training and feeling myself get stronger day by day. If I didn¡¯t know the fun of being taught more and more new things. If it had been me back in the days when I was stuck in the Imperial City... so, if I could get stronger than the princess and surpass my father, mother, and get Sadiz to recognize me... I think I would also have dabbled in that potion.¡±
It¡¯s only a possibility, and I don¡¯t think I want something like that.
But if I made one wrong move, I might have ended up like Jos¨¦, too.
When I think so...
¡°That¡¯s why I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t want to help him, and I don¡¯t care what¡¯s going to happen to him. But I guess I understand. I think that¡¯s why I said that earlier.¡±
It was just cheesy sympathy.
So, I don¡¯t really care what will happen to Jos¨¦ who got beaten up and humiliated by this.
But when I thought about what might have happened... for me.... that I met Tre¡¯ainar first.... from the bottom of my heart, I was really d that he was my teacher.
¡ºHmm? ...... Huh?!! ...... Nu ...... Oh ......¡»
Hmm? Tre¡¯ainar? He looked really upset... eh?!!
¡°Ah?!¡±
¡ºN, no, no, no, th, no, that, uh huh, uh huh, ah~, that, wha!¡»
¡°No, no, no, not at all, yeah, I did it, yes, oooooh, yes, 1st win, the first round is my victory!¡±
¡ºO, ooh, t, tis so. Uh huh, you won! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!¡»
¡°Y, yeeeah!¡±
¡ºUh huh! But stay alert. Be sure to watch the other matches and prepare for the next one.¡»
¡°Osu! I understand!¡±
¡ºUh huh, that will do! I wish you luck!¡»
With that said, the two of us saluted each other.
That¡¯s right. To Tre¡¯ainar, everything I¡¯m saying in my mind was open to him.... Yeah.
However, the fact that we wouldn¡¯t touch each other... was an unspoken agreement...
¡ºFu~...Ah~...Well.¡»
However, we forced the end of the matter there, but Tre¡¯ainar still wanted to say something, and after a little groan, he sighed...
¡ºAh... child. I do not believe so.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºI believe you are different from him. Even if you had not met me first.¡»
For a moment, I didn¡¯t know what he was talking about, but soon I realized.
It¡¯s about what I said, ¡°I might have done the same thing as Jos¨¦ ¡°.
¡ºIndeed, you were twisted. The greatness of your parents and the talents of your childhood friends were wearing away at you. However, you were still training every day in your daily routine. Studying, swinging, with diligence.¡»
¡°Well, Sadiz forced me and ...¡±
¡ºYou might have been made to do it, but you were still doing it. You were spending your days on self-improvement. Unlike him, unlike a pig who had acquired a little power, and was already satisfied and lived azy life without sweating every day... unlike those who had lost the will to fight due to the difference in power, and satnguid in the back of the school building. So, you are different. I reckon so.¡»
After all, it¡¯s a hypothetical scenario.
It¡¯s a story that can¡¯t be confirmed no matter how much you think about it, and it¡¯s pointless to argue no matter which opinion, mine or Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s, is right.
But I was happy and proud.
¡°Well, I don¡¯t know... no, I think I would have used it, yeah.¡±
But I couldn¡¯t be honest about it either, so I turned back, smiling wryly.
¡ºNo? You reckon I could be wrong? ¡»
¡°No, but I know the most about myself.¡±
¡ºYou dare! I have been observing you objectively, so I know you better than you know yourself!¡»
¡°No, I would use it. Oh, I would have!¡±
¡ºNo, you would not use it!¡»
¡°I would use it!¡±
¡ºYou would not have!¡»
¡°I would use it!¡±
¡ºYou would not have!¡»
¡°I would use it!¡±
¡ºYou would not have!¡»
Somehow, the two of us were arguing loudly, trying to cover our embarrassment from each other.
And then......
¡°What ... what are you doing? By yourself.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
When I turned around at the call, Elder Sis Tsukshi, Sadiz, and the Mortriage crew stood there.
¡°Eh, ah, it¡¯s not...¡±
¡°Not~, we came to congratte you on your victory, but what¡¯s all the fuss you¡¯re making by yourself?¡±
¡°Eh?! Oh, no, I mean, yes, I¡¯m just happy to have won, yes!¡±
¡°Yes? It does feel that way...¡±
¡°Haha, no, don¡¯t worry about it.¡±
Apparently, everyone who supported me came down to celebrate my victory.
But I didn¡¯t notice, so I hurriedly covered it up.
For me, it¡¯s a quarrel, but from everyone¡¯s point of view, it only looked like a dangerous guy making a scene all by himself.
[Now, for the second match of the first round! Here hees, the face of an old man, but his physique is the shortest in this tournament! However, capable of tossing big men around, ¡®Soldier of Devastation, Jawara¡¯! Facing him, can this fallen star regain its light and rise again? ¡®The Exiled Rebel Swordsman, Gran Chario¡¯! This is a battle neither can afford to lose! Now, let¡¯s begiiiiiiiiiiin!!]
At that time, the host¡¯s rowdy voice was heard.
¡°Oh, looks like the second match has started. Look, we¡¯ll be up there watching¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
I hurriedly tried to cover up what just happened and change the topic ... but......
[One hit! ...... no freaking way, ahem, that¡¯s the match!!]
Hmm?
¡°Eh, already!? Huh?!¡±
It seemed that it was decided way too soon... I mean, I didn¡¯t even get to see my next opponent¡¯s match at all.
Author¡¯s Note
Somehow, I managed to make it this morning! Thanks to your drills and impact. Thank you very much.
After all, drills and impact may be the best legal doping??
For the time being, there are various things that cannot be recovered in the Jos¨¦-rted area yet, but I¡¯m sure noone is interested in them, and I¡¯d like to settle for the time being, and from the next time onward, I¡¯d like to include a few other matches. Within the range of all ages. The existence of the author is sufficient for the case.
[S1] Okay!! I¡¯ve avoided enough Yaoi to know where this is going....
Chapter 135 – Gratitude?
Chapter 135 ¨C Gratitude?
Tranted by: Sads07
[At that instant, such exquisite control of soft swordsmanship! The match was an embodiment of that! Right at the start of the match, Gran Chario¡¯s special sword was unleashed! Something like, ¡¾Star¡¯s Death Omen¡¿ bang, ¡¾Judgment of the Constetions. The Twinkling Star that became the Meteor, the Guidance of the Heavens Once Again¨D¨D¨D¡¿ well he was trying to do something with some long-winded speech, but in an instant, he was grabbed by one of his arms and thrown, hitting his back and unable to move. And so, Gran Chario is defeated! The star did not shine, it was knocked to the ground!]
The livementary from the host was as passionate as ever. Hearing that, I thought, ¡°Hmm?¡±.
As I recall, the guy who had challenged me earlier was...
¡°The winner of this match, ¡®Jawara, The Soldier of Devastation¡¯! He advances to the second round with flying colors!!¡±
Gran Chario...... tte?!
¡°tte, he was defeated just like thaaaaaaaat!!?? Eeeehhh? No, no, no way, to be that full of confidence only to lose... isn¡¯t he Jos¨¦ level?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±That metaphor is too much!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Ha~...... well, that¡¯s fine... no matter whoes next, it doesn¡¯t change what I will do. No matter who it is.¡±
No way, the match to decide my next opponent was over.
What¡¯s more, the guy I expected to be my next opponent was defeated without difficulty.
I was a little surprised, but I decided to switch my stance if I didn¡¯t mind.
¡°Hahaha, w, well, putting that aside... however, that match just now. It was amazing, Earth!¡±
¡°Right. Got me thinking we can¡¯t just stay depressed, and only talk about overthrowing Jos¨¦! Ora, I¡¯m gonna do it!¡±
¡°Yes. It¡¯s not about Jos¨¦, I¡¯m going to work hard to be stronger.¡±
¡°You¡¯ll have lunch with us all afterwards!¡±
Putting aside the current match for the moment, and not mentioning my boisterous behavior, just celebrating my victory of the first round for now, the Mortriage crew raised their hands withughter.
¡°Oh! I¡¯ll do it again next time! Just watch.¡±
I nodded and gave everyone a high five with a smile.
¡°So quick, Earth. Surely, you were a little too strong!¡±
¡°Inya~ I feel sorry for the other guy! Well, my assistance gotcha real motivated.¡±
And Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui nodded with a smile and words of gratitude.
Speaking of which......
¡°Hehe, thank you.¡±
Come to think of it, it may be the first time I¡¯ve ever won and been praised in this way.
Up until now, if I win, I would be the ¡°Son of the Hero¡±. That was it.
Besides, I ran away in the middle of the Graduation Match.
For some reason I was so happy that my heart and eyes were a little warm.
¡°...... Yo...¡±
¡°Congrattions¡±
And Sadiz bows her head in a reserved manner.
¡°How was it? My fight.¡±
¡°Y, yes...very...it was splendid. I shudder to think that you haven¡¯t gotten serious yet.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
From her... for the longest time...... I wanted this. Well, what a cowardly thing I did...
¡°...ro...er!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Hmm? What?
At that time, someone muttered something in a very quiet voice.
A very young voice... isn¡¯t there only one person?
¡°U~...... ol...... ther¡±
Somehow her face was bright red and she was so fidgety.
¡°Funi ~yu~...¡±
¡°Ah? What is it, Amae.¡±
¡°U~...¡±
How about that!
Unlike those insensitive bastards, I have a good sense for various things, but I can¡¯t figure this out.
¡°Hey, Amae, let¡¯s do our best~.¡±
¡°Right? Amae¡±
¡°Fufufufu¡±
Huh? But does Elder Sis Tsukshi know what Amae is trying to say?
She was pushing Amae¡¯s back and giggling.
¡°Un~?¡±
I didn¡¯t know what was going on, so I tilted my head.
And then......
¡°Yes, everyone, please get out of the way~ing through~¡±
¡°Ehho, Ehho¡±
Then, from across the corridor, a couple of men walked past us carrying something.
They were carrying a man on a stretcher.
¡°Ah~ hi~, on my head~, stars are spinning around~¡±
The man, who had been so fearless, was being carried away with a really pathetic look on his face, as if stars were spinning around his head.
¡°Ah... in the end, what¡¯s with being one-shotted?¡±
It was Gran Chario, who had dered war on me in the second round.
Apparently, he¡¯s be a star.... he¡¯s not dead though.
¡°Ah... haha. Earth¡¯s next opponent is Jawara.¡±
¡°Old Man Jawara¡¯s a miss~¡±
In the current match, which seems to have been a very counteroffensive, Elder Sis Tsukshi wasughing in spite of themselves.
And apparently she knew who my next opponent was.
You know him? Well, even though it is a branch, it¡¯s the same Arcane True Zenith School...
¡°Uo~~~~~mumumumu~!!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
And, I forgot.
In front of me, Amae was in a foul mood with her cheeks puffed to the limit.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, Amae. So, what were you saying?¡±
¡°U~, Ng! Un! Un!¡±
Ha?
The next moment, for some reason, an angry Amae ran up to me and banged on my stomach with her little hand.
¡°Eh, eeeeh?¡±
¡°Un! Un! Un! Un~da!¡±
It doesn¡¯t hurt, but... and, Elder Sis Tsukshi had a bitter smile.
Erm, I don¡¯t know.
But after hitting me for a while, Amae suddenly stopped her hands and instead leaned her body against my belly.
¡°........ gyu~tsu...¡±
¡°Amae?¡±
Her face was pressed against my belly, and her voice was muffled, but still...
¡°......older brother......¡±
¡°...... What was that?¡±
I could hear it clearly.
And the moment she uttered those words, Amae suddenly separated her body from me, and instead held her pompoms in both hands, with her face blushed red...
¡°O..... ol...... U~~...... older brother, next time, fight on!¡±
Moving her body as much as such a little body could, waving and thrusting out her pompoms, and jumping.
The moment I saw that, it was like thunder was echoing in the sky.
¡°U~, uh!¡±
And, perhaps the limit of embarrassment has already been exceeded, Amae just ran away.
I was stunned for a while as I stared at the little back running away.
¡°Aha, ahahaha, I guess she worked just as hard.¡±
¡°Inya, I¡¯m sorry, Big brother. Amae, really wanted to call you ¡®older brother¡¯.¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi and other sisters were also smiling at Amae¡¯s appearance.
But I still couldn¡¯t move an inch.
¡°If possible, could you forgive her?¡±
¡°Yes. she¡¯s been fidgeting for the past few weeks or so, getting all excited and eager to say something.¡±
But it¡¯s not about forgiveness or not, just one thing became clear to me.
¡°Bring on the second round now! If you want, all the contestants together,e at me!!!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±No, no, no, no, it¡¯s surprisingly straightforward!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I could probably do anything and beat anyone.
That¡¯s how I felt.
However, that shouldn¡¯t be the case, so I decided to sit back and watch the next match from the spectator seat for the time being.
When watching a match, I¡¯ll put Amae on myp.
Yes, that¡¯s good.
Author¡¯s Note
Yesterday I had more drills and impacts than I expected, so I went through the day with a surplus of energy that I didn¡¯t use up this morning. For the time being, Jos¨¦-rted things have settled down, so the author is nowfortable.
Chapter 136 – Watching from on High
Chapter 136 ¨C Watching from on High
Tranted by: Sads07
[Now, it¡¯s time for the third match! And the next one is another hot battle! A man who has trained only one weapon, a straight punch with his fists. He kept hitting and hitting, even to the point of bones breaking, joints dislocating, or the fractures sticking out! The fist of the man who pursued only one thing eventually turning into a blunt instrument, a de, a weapon! Show off that destructive power! ¡®Krouby, the Fist of Destruction¡¯!]
The third match was just about to start after I joined the audience.
[His opponent is the opposite. He worked on all genres. Throws. Grapples. Punches. Kicks. Instead of polishing one weapon, he has polished himself so that he can respond to every scene assuming actual battle! The man says. Krouby, you¡¯re not pursuing just one thing, you¡¯re just skipping the others! Today, I¡¯ll show you that! ¡®The Jack of All Fighting Trades, Juju¡¯]!
Two men came out with the introduction from the host.
It¡¯s a good look. In my opinion, Juju looked stronger because of his body and posture and atmosphere when walking.
First of all, I¡¯ll have to take a seat.
¡°Let¡¯s~ see~, seat seat...¡±
¡°Big brother, over there.¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, there it is. And here you are.¡±
The section where everyone was when cheering for me.
Amae had already returned and was sitting there.
¡°Hey, Amae~. Why are you running away?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
As I approached her with a smile on my face, Amae¡¯s body jerked in surprise.
¡°Ah... Fumyu... U...¡±.
¡°I¡¯ll sit next to you. Hey okay.¡±
¡°Hafu?!¡±
I was amused to see her fidgeting again, so I sat down next to her.
¡°Hey~, big brother~. That¡¯s my seat~.¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, I see. Now that I¡¯m here, so my seat... hmm~, what should I do~?¡±
¡°Hey~, what do you think~?¡±
I was sitting where Karui was originally seated.
However, because of my arrival, we were one seat short.
What do we do now?
However, this was nned in advance with me in Karui, so we were grinning at each other.
And.....
¡°Oh well~. Hey, let me have Amae¡¯s seat.¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°So, Amae didn¡¯t sit on big brother¡¯sp. That¡¯s what you always do at dinner, right?¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
Yes, Amae sits on myp during meals.
Therefore, it was same as always.
However, Amae herself is still reeling from her ¡°brother¡± remark earlier, so she was reluctant to move.
¡°Here, Amae. Don¡¯t let Karui sit down.¡±
So, as a nudge, I tapped my knees and invited Amae to sit.
Amae looked me up and down with a puzzled expression.
¡°Is it okay? Oh...... ol...... der..... bro..... uh...¡±
Apparently, it¡¯s embarrassing to say ¡°Older brother¡±, even though she usually jumps on people¡¯s backs, hugs them, and sits on theirp.
Rather, she may be scared.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Amae doesn¡¯t have any blood rtives.
So...
¡°No, it¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°Heh?¡±
¡°You can call me whatever you want.¡±
Saying that, I lightly put my hand on my head.
Then, Amae was momentarily stunned, but also regained her determination....
¡°O..... older brother...¡±
¡°Ou.¡±
¡°...... older brother.¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
¡°Older brother¡±
¡°What is it, Amae¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At first she was afraid. But she gradually checked, and finally called me that clearly, and the next moment...
¡°Older brother!¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
¡°~~~~~~~,yaayyy!¡±
¡°Nowa!?¡±
Instead of getting on myp, she dove into my belly with her whole body.
¡°Mufu! Amae¡¯s older brother!¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
She showed me a really carefree smile.
She rubbed her soft, puffy cheek against my face.
Such an angel.
¡°Ahhhhhh I¡¯m d! Amae. Following uncle, you have an older brother!¡±
¡°Big brother, you¡¯re surprisingly kind.¡±
¡°Muh, I want Amae to call me ¡®brother¡¯ too!¡±
Elder sis Tsukshi seemed happy. Well, I guess I¡¯m a little out of my element, but for the time being, I didn¡¯t mind that.
¡ºOi, tis still only the first round of the tournament so far, should you be so nonchnt?¡»
¡°Oh, Osu¡±
However, I guess my face looked a bit too rxed. Tre¡¯ainar came in to caution me.
Sure, I might have lost my focus.
Let¡¯s watch the match seriously ....
[Ooohh, he¡¯s got the joints! It¡¯s too much to bear, and Krouby taps out!]
Ah...
¡°tte, it¡¯s oveeeeer!!??¡±
Again, I ended up not seeing anything...
[No way, Krouby¡¯s fist caught Juju¡¯s face once, but Juju held on to take Krouby¡¯s arm and lock in the submission! However, it was a close call. Look at the blue swelling on the right side of Juju¡¯s face! What terrifying destructive force. And great work by Juju to withstand it! Oh uh, the two share a handshake praising the good fight! Please give a big round of apuse!]
It¡¯s over... I missed two fights in a row involving opponents I might face if I won.
¡ºUtterly, king.¡»
¡¸I¡¯m ashamed...¡¹
You¡¯re right, I cked off.
Sure enough, was it a failure?
Because Amae was in a great mood, leaning back on myp and humming to herself.
In fact, it¡¯s not just about scouting your opponents, it¡¯s also a good opportunity to learn about various fighting techniques...
¡¸My bad, I need to focus a little bit.¡¹
¡ºNaturally. In the first ce¨D¨D¨D¨D Hmm?¡»
¡¸...... huh?¡¹
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar and I both sensed a presence.
A strange presence beside me.
I looked over, and there...
¡°No~...... beating down a guy of the same generation by that much, a very funny sight... I¡¯m wondering which is the real you.¡±
A strange man approached meughing as he stood upside down with one hand on the fence of the audience seat where we were.
The other spectatorsughed and reacted to it, and Elder sis Tsukshi also shouted in surprise.
¡°Whoa!? Hey, Mr. Wacha!? You scared the hell out of me!¡±
¡°Hmmm~, as usual, what are you doing ~?¡±
Wacha. I recognized that man.
I mean, he¡¯s one of the contestants.
He was a conspicuous man with a bare upper body and long ck trousers below.
He was slender and not bulky, but looking closely, he should have a pretty good bnce of his core and toned muscles.
Generally...... I¡¯d say he¡¯s passable...
¡°No~, I was looking for the young man who showed me a wonderful fistfight earlier, hoping that he woulde to train at our branch, aye.¡±
¡°Ah... me?¡±
Apparently I¡¯m the purpose. Or,e to think of it, this man said such a thing a while ago after the battle with Jos¨¦ was over.
¡°Oh, well, if I feel like it I suppose. I¡¯m not really a follower of the Arcane True Zenith school.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind that, aye. If anything, it¡¯s okay to just join our branch, aye.¡±
¡°Eh? Hey hey, it¡¯s not an invitation to practice, you¡¯re soliciting me?¡±
I was a little surprised because I didn¡¯t expect to be scouted like that here.
However, Amae, who quivered at the question, suddenly got off my knees and red with her arms open outstretched at the man called Wacha.
¡°U~~~...... won¡¯t give him.¡±
Seeing that figure, we burst outughing.
¡°Oops, I¡¯m sorry, aye. I didn¡¯t mean to take away the little one¡¯s boyfriend, aye.¡±
¡°Wrong. Older brother.¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯ll keep that in mind next time, aye.¡±
Wachaughed at the appearance of Amae and apologized.
Well, even if he said solicitation, he didn¡¯t seem to be so serious about it.
¡°But... you¡¯re not a student of the Arcane True Zenith... ording to Machio, you¡¯re self-styled with no master. Is that true?¡±
¡°Hmm ... oh ... well...¡±
However, I do have a master, though.
But there was no other way to get around it.
¡°Hmm... that¡¯s amazing aye... so, you can hit such a beautiful left? Without anyone¡¯s guidance?¡±
Wacha was surprised with a mysterious face while standing upside down with one hand.
But it certainly is true, isn¡¯t it?
Even though I was supposed to have no master, I suddenly leveled up and used techniques that no one knew about, so everyone was surprised at the Graduation match in the Imperial City.
Up to now, I¡¯ve been able to cover it up, and Jamdi¡¯el did not really ask about it, but if such a matter is pursued deeply in the future, I¡¯m not sure I will be able to answer.
Because I know things I shouldn¡¯t know.
¡ºCertainly, we shall need to consider the excuse to make in the future.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar was the same.
¡°Well, then you¡¯re a genius who has a good sense and a thorough knowledge of the human body, aye.¡±
¡°Ah, uh, uh, is that so? I don¡¯t know myself, but...¡±
¡°Uh huh uh huh, by all means at least once, let¡¯s do battle... oh, yes yes... if I can win, it will be possible. As for this, I¡¯ll have to bring my best, aye.¡±
Heughed when he said that, but he¡¯s got confidence in himself.
That said, there are examples like Jos¨¦ and Gran Chario, so I¡¯m not sure if I can take this confidence seriously.
¡°Well, then there¡¯s no problem here. Because I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll win. The rest is up to you. Am I being cocky?¡±
The next moment Wacha jumped from a one-handed stand and stood with both feet on the fence and looked at me.
¡°Nice. I love it. A previously unknown man suddenly transforms himself, makes a name for himself, and roars strongly. It¡¯s like an ascending dragon, aye.¡±
¡°Kuhaha, isn¡¯t that a little too much praise?¡±
¡°I¡¯mplimenting you, aye. Let¡¯s see if that dragon can fly through the sky and even shatter the heavens. As expected.... of the Master¡¯s favorite, aye.¡±
¡°Ha... hah? For sure, I guess?¡±
Somewhat, he¡¯s so exaggerated, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on anymore...
¡º...... Hmm? ...... this one... at present...¡»
Hmm? Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Then, next is my match aye. I¡¯d like you to talk to meter, aye~.¡±
¡°O, oh.¡±
Wacha jumped from the fence straight to the arena.
Somehow, I didn¡¯t really understand.
But Tre¡¯ainar seems to have noticed something, and he¡¯s looking at Wacha.
What¡¯s going on?
¡ºThat one... might be more than meets the eye.¡»
Eh? What? Somehow, just because Tre¡¯ainar said that, I thought that a man named Wacha might actually be pretty strong.
Author¡¯s Note
I can¡¯t do it today. Two chapters is impossible. Yesterday and the day before yesterday were special.
On the contrary, there were many kindments from everyone who cared about my physical condition, and I was deeply touched by the thoughtfulness.
Chapter 137 – Unknown
Chapter 137 ¨C Unknown
Tranted by: Sads07
[Up next, it¡¯s the 4th match! The oldest practitioner of the Arcane True Zenith style makes his appearance! In recent years, he¡¯s been working to expand the reach of The Arcane True Zenith by coaching the younger generation and spreading health exercises for! But, his true form is that of a fighter. Don¡¯t you know? He¡¯ll demonstrate it to the unenlightened! At longst, he is unveiled, the ¡®Veteran Warrior, Wacha Huacha¡¯ is here!]
For now, let¡¯s have a look.
The guy Tre¡¯ainar had shown interest in can¡¯t be an ordinary person.
¡°Do your best, Instructor Wacha!¡±
¡°Mr. Wacha!¡±
¡°Waaacha, Huacha, Wachahowacha ? hai!¡±
¡°¡±Waaacha, Huacha, Wachahowacha ? hai!¡±¡±¡±
The audience was cheering, I guess he¡¯s pretty popr.
But still, what¡¯s with the cheering call?
¡°Hey, Elder Sis Tsukshi. That guy...... is he famous?¡±
¡°Hmm? Well. The strongest in the Arcane True Zenith school is Machio, but Mr. Wacha is the one with the longest history.¡±
¡°Huh~!¡±
¡°About ten years ago... when The High Priestess and a little goddess descended upon thisnd, Wacha was the first to be the High Priestess¡¯ apprentice.¡±
Eh? Isn¡¯t that detail surprisingly important?
He¡¯s Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s first disciple?
[His opponent, he¡¯ll eat up the old history in one go! The man who boasts the heaviest weight of the Arcane True Zenith style, iming that body mass is talent, power, and pride! For men, eating and sleeping to make the body big is also training. In other words, the strongest continue to train all the time along with the talent of physique! He is the ¡®Super Heavy Freak, Khaldash¡¯!!]
However, as I was thinking of paying attention to Wacha, his opponent was also quite something.
¡°Certainly... it might be a good chance. Why don¡¯t you use him as a reference? Budeo.¡±
¡°Oh... fat is the talent and power he is proud of... s, so cool... eating and sleeping is training... I definitely want to learn!¡±
¡°No, of course that¡¯s not it.¡±
At first nce, he seemed simr to Budeo.
However, he is different.
If Budeo was soft and bby, that man who appeared was quite solid.
A huge pile of muscles.
He had a different muscle mass than Machio, and was obviously heavy.
If you were rushed by that, it would be pretty dangerous.
Moreover, he¡¯s got a good expression on his face.
A spirited look that is crackling with a desire for a sh of power vs power.
¡°Dosuko©`©`©`i! Dosuko©`©`©`i! Much obliged!!¡±
Hmm? What was that? That Khaldash guy was squatting and raising and lowering his legs.
¡°Whoa¡±
¡°Huh...¡±
¡°O, oh, Amae, were you surprised? But...... what¡¯s that?¡±
Involuntarily surprised, Amae was also a little scared and held on to me tightly.
I could feel the vibrations transmitted by him stepping on the ground repeatedly with the foot raised high.
What kind of exercise was that?
¡ºTis Magical Shiko.¡»
¡¸Magical Shiko?¡¹
¡ºUh huh. Tis the basis of Great Demon Sumo Wrestling that was once mastered by those who were called Rikishi in the Demon Realm.¡»
¡¸Sumo?¡¹
I¡¯ve never seen this kind of exercise before, but naturally Tre¡¯ainar knew it.
¡ºUh huh, this is how the Shiko is performed...¡»
Standing in the gap between the seat and the fence, Tre¡¯ainar suddenly showed the same stance as Khaldash ... hey!?
¡°Gueh?!¡±
¡°Older Brother?¡±
¡°Hmm? Big brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
I almost burst out suddenly. However, there are people around me now, so I had no choice but to endure it.
B, but, th, this, surprise attack?
¡ºAs such, spread your legs and knees to the sides, straighten your spine, ce your hands on your knees, raise your legs high alternately, and step on the ground powerfully. Dosukoi!¡»
The Great Demon King opens his crotch... no, no, stop! If Iugh now, it¡¯ll be suspicious!
¡ºDosukoi, Dosukoi! See. This will strengthen the waist, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and trunk.¡»
¡¸Puhyu... oh, oh .... I see....¡¹
¡ºYou, and Budeo, should take this up. Tis quite taxing.¡»
¡¸I, I get it. Next time...¡¹
¡ºI shall remember this for tonight¡¯s ¡¾Vier¡¿, you cur.¡»
¡¸I thought I was safe!? Well, then don¡¯t do that! You¡¯ve got to realize that anyone wouldugh at you at first look!?¡¹
Endured. I managed to endure it... but immediately after, I seem to have been called out for it.
But I couldn¡¯t help it. No way, the Great Demon King suddenly shouted ¡°Dosukoi¡± in front of me.
¡°Instructor Wacha. I¡¯m honored to be able to face you. But that¡¯s why I won¡¯t cut corners and wille at you mercilessly.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s scary aye~¡±
¡°...... Fufufu... that¡¯s a tough joke.¡±
And while I was holding back myughter, this got serious.
That¡¯s why those who are watching have to take it seriously too.
But......
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go!! I¡¯ll take your best shot!!¡±
Khaldash lowered his hips and ced his hands on the ground to show an unusual posture.
This is the first time I¡¯m seeing such a stance, but it was clear that he¡¯s trying to build up momentum and charge straight for it.
On the other hand...
¡°Then ...e aye...¡±
In front of a man with such a spirit and stature, Wacha showed no sign of fighting.
Like a water surface without a single ripple, he was quiet and calm.
¡ºBy the way... ording to the host¡¯s exnation... he gives instruction in Magical Taichi.... well, surely he has been passing on iplete knowledge that was received from Jamdi¡¯el... to that extent... no..... that stance... tis different...... that is...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar, with a hand on his chin, was observing at Wacha a bit intently.
And......
¡°Now then, match number 4! Begin, now ¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Dosu¨D¨D ¡°
With the signal to start the match, Khaldash lunged forward with a powerful step¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Wachaa!¡±
¡°¨Dkoi! tsu!?¡±
The moment Khaldash lifted his hands off the ground to charge, Wacha¡¯s left hand chop was stopped before Khaldash¡¯s eyeball.
¡°Ah... f... fast!¡±
¡°That...¡±
Loosely, from a rxed posture, his movement was unperceivable, and by stopping his left-handed chop just before, he controlled Khaldash, who was about to rush, before he could make a move.
The crowd was in awe, and I couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.
¡°Fufufu... good job holding your ground aye.¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
¡°Your reflexes and self-control are splendid aye. But, as someone who in any situation rams his opponent in an initial charge to not stop no matter what, I don¡¯t know whether or not it¡¯s the right choice aye.¡±
Khaldash stopped moving at thest minute, his face pale and sweaty.
Naturally. One step further, and his eyeballs would have been crushed.
However, to suddenly go for the eyes.... that guy...
¡ºTis the ¡¾Great Demon Finger Jab¡¿... Moreover, tis almostpleted...¡»
¡¸Eh?¡¹
¡ºTis a technique I am yet to teach the child... I had no intention of teaching it...¡»
Because it is called a jab, I thought it was a skill that had something to do with me, but that doesn¡¯t seem to be the case.
¡°Are you still going?¡±
¡°O, of course I am! Dosukoi! Dosukoi! Dosukoi!¡±
Even with his face pale, Khaldash shook off Wacha¡¯s hand and threw himself in.
Heunched a continuous series of strikes with both hands.
He approached Wacha as if he was a wall.
But Wacha...
¡°Hwa! Hwa! Hwa! Hwa!¡±
¡°Nu, gu!?¡±
All of Khaldash¡¯s hand ps were handled with quick hand movements. Moreover, he not only dealt with them.
¡°Hwa! Hwa! Wachaaa!¡±
¡°Guha!?¡±
After deftly handling them all, he finally sealed the opponent¡¯s hands and threw a high kick to the wide open face.
¡°O, oh, o, oh!¡±
¡ºSplendid ... the ¡¾Great Demon Trapping¡¿¡»
I was holding Amae on myp and involuntarily leaned out of the fence to watch.
And, Wacha approached Khaldash, who ate Wacha¡¯s kick to the head and was dazed, and stuck out his right hand to almost be in close contact.
¡°Huachaaaa!¡±
¡°Eehh!!??¡±
It was like magic? Shockwave? He just thrust his fist out of a state where it was almost in close contact with the opponent¡¯s body.
However, Khaldash who was called the ¡°Super Heavy Freak¡± ...
[He, he was blown away©`©`©`©`!!?? The Super Heavy Freak is lightly blown off, and immediately crashes into the wall of the arenaaaaaaa!!??]
Yes, he was sent flying.
¡°Hey, wait a minute! What¡¯s going on!? Did he use magic?? How did such a huge guy get blown away!?¡±
¡ºShort Strong(Fajin)... also known as ... the ¡¾Great Demon One Inch Punch¡¿ is what was used...¡»
It was a techniquepletely different from the jabs and straights I¡¯ve been used to.
It was aplete unknown.
[Such an outrageous punch, by Wacha Huacha! And thus...... Khaldash, he¡¯s out cold! No contest! This match is a victory for Wacha Huacha!!]
¡°Waaacha, Huacha, Wachahowacha ? hai!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Waaacha, Huacha, Wachahowacha ? hai!¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, the victor was decided, and at the same time, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Wacha bowed to the audience with his hands joined together.
¡°Inya, as expected, Mr. Wacha. After all, in a fight, he¡¯s really strong.¡±
¡°Indeed, I¡¯m amazed~. The man in question is humble, and his ability does not reach the Three Fingers of the Arcane True Zenith. Machio, Bro, and myself, that is what we are called, but in a serious fight, he would be much stronger than me~.¡±
Elder sis Tsukshi¡¯s words were convincing.
I shuddered involuntarily.
To be honest, with Mr. Machio, I can¡¯tpare who was stronger.
¡ºCertainly, power and speed are inferior to Machio and Karui. The overall physical ability will be much higher than the child. However...... that man named Wacha is so skilled that you cannot tell at first nce.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar also approved.
That Wacha had strength that I couldn¡¯t gauge by looking.
¡°I see. I¡¯m intrigued by that.¡±
¡ºIndeed. You¡¯re quite fortunate, child. To go out into the world... people of such skill are scarce. A good... ¡®Training Partner¡¯. Well, should you make one misstep, you will be blinded.¡»
Yes, I didn¡¯t particrly have my eye on anyone in the tournament, except for Mr. Machio, but it got a little more thrilling and I was starting to enjoy myself a little more.
Author¡¯s Note
Ladies and Gentlemen, this story is a high fantasy. It¡¯s a story of a hero and a demon king jumping out of the world of magic.
Please note that it is not a different world martial arts novel.
Therefore, in this story, we do not discuss ¡°Which Fighting Style is stronger¡± or such, so please forgive such a retort.
Why did this happen? When I was trying to avoid an OP development at a magic school against opponents of the same age, for some reason it ended up like this.
So, to change the story, sometimes I questions about how to read Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s ¡°child¡± in the impression column, but I call it ¡°Warabe¡±. Some people think it¡¯s ¡°Wappa¡±, but it¡¯s ¡°Warabe¡±.
The reason is that in one of my favorite Chinese historical manga, the main character is called ¡°Warabe¡±, and I somehow liked it, so that¡¯s the influence. Kokokoko.

Chapter 138 ¨C Pause

The tournament was still in its early stages. Sometimes it got heated, and at times screams erupted due to a dreadful scene.
¡°Hahahaha, hya ha¡¯ ha¡¯ ha¡¯, hyahahahahaha!¡±
¡°Habu¡¯, gubyu, byu!?¡±
A big man sat atop a petite, neutral-looking man and was mercilessly hitting his face, crushing him.
¡°Nooooo! Shota¡¯o!?¡±
¡°Assistant Instructor!?¡±
¡°U, uuugh. I can¡¯t stand it anymore!¡± Our Assistant Instructor... eh!¡±
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go! I¡¯m gonna kill him!¡±
The one-sided match brought tears and anger to the faces of the women who seemed to be rted to the beaten man.
[Wow, this is already beyond merciless! Shota¡¯o who was knocked down by the tackle that Denchok unleashed soon after the start, who then took the mounted position and immediately beat him down! Shota¡¯o fans all over the venue are screaming! On the other hand, men who are thinking ¡°it¡¯s what he deserves¡± are definitely not going to be popr, are they?!]
It¡¯s a cold-blooded scene.
¡°Eeeerr, but that¡¯s it! That¡¯s the match! The winner is Denchok!¡±
¡°Hyahahahaha!!¡±
At the discretion of the host, he decided to intervene and forcibly ended the match.
At that moment, the already listless opponent was swooning.
With a clear difference in strength and the man¡¯s thoroughness, the women in the audience bit their lips, and at the moment the man made a guts pose, the women tried to rise up with murderous intent.
But the next moment...
¡°Thisrade of mine ... I will carry him to the first aid room.¡±
The man named Denchok said so, and began to carry the man he had just beaten up in his arms.
¡°D, Denchok? No, no, we¡¯ll take him...¡±
¡°What are you saying? The two of us exchanged fists... he is a fellow warrior. I should at least do that much... so allow me to do it.¡±
Saying so, Denchok smiled refreshingly, aplete change from the crazed look he had previously.
[Wh, what a refreshing sight this is! After the battle, the man is already a friend! He is going to carry his injuredrade with his own hands! What spirit! You must have reformed in prison, Denchok!]
Certainly, it was a refreshing spectacle to say the least.
However, ¡°Sense of incongruity¡± and ¡°Unnaturalness¡± were out all over the ce, and no one tried to apud even though the host tried to liven things up.
¡°Assistant Instructor... hey, we¡¯re going to the first aid room too!¡±
¡°Yes, I must go and see him!¡±
¡°He lost, but I think teacher did his best. We must all cheer him up!¡±
And the women nodded to each other and tried to go to Shota¡¯o, who was being taken to the first aid room, but Denchok noticed it and yelled.
¡°Don¡¯t be a woman loitering around a defeated and injured man! Do you want to torment his heart any more than it already is?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±......... Eh?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°What do you say to a defeated man? Did you do your best? Was it close? Let¡¯s try harder next time? That¡¯s bullshit! That¡¯s the greatest insult to a fighting man!¡±
Denchok¡¯s words cried out so. I could only ept that.
A man fought with all his might and was defeated. I wouldn¡¯t want the women there to touch me.
¡°If you love this guy, leave him be. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll stick around until the second round... I¡¯ll keep an eye on him. Trust me, Ladies!¡±
The women looked down for a moment at Denchok¡¯s words...
¡°¡±¡±¡±Are you kidding me?! What are you nning to do to the Assistant Instructor!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Tch!!¡±
As a result, dozens of women stood up from the audience and rushed out.
What? Did that Denchok say something to offend the women right now?
¡°Ah, ahahaha...well, even though he was released after his sentence... yeah, it¡¯s a little hard to trust him~...?¡±
¡°Uh huh, uh huh¡±
And for some reason, Elder sis Tsukshi nodded with a bitter smile as if she agreed.
¡°Eh? Why? As I recall, the introduction says that that Denchok guy is an ex-convict, but is he someone who hasmitted a crime that makes him so untrustworthy?¡±
¡°Yes, big brother... Denchok...mitted that.¡±
¡°?¡± [1]
No one mentioned what the crime was, or rather, they seemed to be incredibly reluctant to say, but I guess they were just that averse to saying it out loud.
What the hell...
[Well, there were a lot of incidents, but let¡¯s have some guards in the first aid room just in case. Then, moving on to the next one ... hmm? ... Wha what??!!... Eh!?]
In the end, no one said what the problem with Denchok was, and the host resumed the proceedings and tried to announce the next match.
However, a man who seemed to be one of the organizers rushed to the host and whispered in his ear, and he looked surprised...
[Eh~, I just got word, as we were scheduled to start the next match, Seiss¨¦ vs. Samyng... Apparently, Samyng attempted a sneak attack on Seiss¨¦, but the tables were turned and he is now unable topete. Therefore...... the first round victor will be Seiss¨¦ by default!]
Somehow, something happened where I wasn¡¯t looking.
The venue was in a stir... not really, unexpectedly, there were voices such as ¡°I knew it¡± and ¡°but it¡¯s so dumb,¡± and they didn¡¯t seem to be very surprised.
On the other hand, dozens of young kids who seemed to be rted to the man named Seiss¨¦ who won were crying out in joy.
¡°Hey waitaminit, what was that ~?¡±
¡°A sneak attack... that¡¯s all... but Mr. Seiss¨¦ fought back, it¡¯s just like him!¡±
¡°Eh? Hey, that¡¯s it? Shouldn¡¯t there be more of a reaction?¡±
¡°Well~, it is Samyng we¡¯re talking about...¡±
¡°Wh... what¡¯s going on, Arcane True Zenith? Aren¡¯t there a lot of people with a quirk or two? Are there no more normal guys?¡±
¡°Ugh... when you put it like that... the next match is... even more...¡±
When I held my head, I heard about the next match and Elder sis Tsukshi and the other sisters grimaced.
What? You think there¡¯s a bigger weirdo in the next match?
What the hell kind of guy is...
¡°Older brother...¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Then, Amae suddenly began to tremble on myp...
¡°Need to pee.¡±
¡°..................¡±
This girl... goes at her own pace...
¡°You want me to take you!?¡±
¡°Go with me!¡±
¡°Gu, ga... y, you...¡±
No way, toilet time. And she wants me to go along.
However, I can¡¯t do it by myself...
¡°Ahaha, I get it, big brother. I¡¯m going too. I just noticed, my dder is at risk.¡±
¡°Ah! I¡¯m saved. Well, maybe I¡¯ll go too... well, no matter who the next match is ... Mr. Machio will win in the end.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Mr. Machio is next. Well, I have toe back really quick. Come on, sister, I¡¯ll take you there!¡±
¡°Karui!!??¡±
I had no choice, so I decided to go to the toilet, held Amae, and left my seat with Karui.
For the time being, I want to watch Mr. Machio¡¯s match, so I¡¯ll run a little bit.
¡°Inya~, but the battle of various seniors is exciting after all~¡±
¡°Is that right? If you really learn to fight, you¡¯d be stronger than me, wouldn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°There you go again~ you¡¯re overestimating me big brother! And? Are you paying attention to anyone else besides Mr. Machio?¡±
On the way to the toilet, Karui asked me about the matches so far.
¡°Well, I missed a couple of matches, but at this point I¡¯m only interested... in one other.¡±
¡°Hoo. And that¡¯s...¡±
One man who came to mind when I said that. Even Tre¡¯ainar recognized the man¡¯s skills.
If there¡¯s no problem, he¡¯ll be in the semifinals...
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Wacha.¡±¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, yeah... hey wait up.¡±
At that time, Wacha happened to pass in front of us as we were sprinting to the toilet.
However, he was in a hurry and didn¡¯t seem to notice us.
Well, it wasn¡¯t like we were close enough to call out to him, so we just walked on by...
¡º...... Hmm? ¡»
I thought I¡¯d pass by. But then Tre¡¯ainar noticed something.
¡ºChild. His hand...¡»
¡¸Hand?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar told me, and looking at Wacha¡¯s hand as he was running away, I saw that he was holding a crystal... a Magic Crystal!?
It was a nce, but it certainly looked like one.
That was a magic item for long-distancemunication. It¡¯s a magic crystal.
Well, it¡¯s not that umon... but was it also avable in this country?
I haven¡¯t seen one in three months since I came to this country, and it¡¯s an isted country in the first ce.
¡°Big brother?¡±
¡°Hmm, oh, oh...¡±
Well, it¡¯s nothing for me to care about. But......
¡ºChild... briefly... just follow.¡»
For some reason, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be a little worried about that Wacha.
It¡¯s as if he¡¯s worried about something besides the fact that Wacha was strong...
¡°Sorry, Karui. I¡¯ll leave Amae to you for a bit.¡±
¡°Ah? Big brother!?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±
¡°Older brother!? Ah, that¡¯s...¡±
¡°Later!¡±
I decided to follow what Tre¡¯ainar was saying.
¡ºOver there.¡»
¡°Oh.¡±
As I kept following unnoticed, there was still something, Wacha ran outside the arena and moved to a slightly less popted ce to hide.
No matter how you look at it, it¡¯s totally suspicious.
Then, while looking around a bit, Wacha whispered in the shadow of the building...
¡°Come on~...... I¡¯m in the middle of a festival, so please give me a break, aye.¡±
Wacha was muttering into the magic crystal. Then, from the magic crystal...
¡¸Don¡¯t say that. Your ¡®boss¡¯ and my Lord were sworn brothers back in the day, right?¡¹
I don¡¯t know who it is, but for the time being, a man¡¯s voice came back.
¡°Even if you say boss... the organization has already been destroyed, aye.¡±
¡¸So you don¡¯t talk to us because you have nothing to do with the organization anymore?¡¹
¡°I won¡¯t go that far, aye. That¡¯s why we talk regrly like this ...¡±
¡¸So? Have you found the final key? The Dark Valkyrie ying house with that doll. The Lord is concerned.¡¹
¡°That¡¯s what is being determined right now, aye!¡±
¡¸Oh. Previously, the human named Machio was a candidate, but has something changed?¡¹
¡°...... No change... aye.¡±
¡¸I see. For now, be sure to report it when they make a decision. My lord is dissatisfied with the idea of mixing human blood with it, but if the key is satisfactory, he says he¡¯ll support it.¡¹
After that, the conversation in the magic crystal was cut off.
Anyway, it was... obviously a meaningful conversation.
Or rather, the Dark Valkyrie was an alias for Jamdi¡¯el. Does that mean...outside of this country... organization? Boss? Destroyed?
And at the same time......
¡°Support? Such a liar, aye... if you¡¯re going to make it with humans... I should suffice...... I believe so anyway, aye.¡±
With a twitching smile, Wacha muttered.

Chapter 139 ¨C Speaking of Which
Tranted by: Sads07
[This is out of the noooooorrmmm! Even Data is taken aback by this! Apparently, it was muchrger than the information that Data had researched beforehand! Yes, careful observation is required if the boys haven¡¯t seen each other for three days! In the face of Vigg¡¯s Excalibur, Data has lost his will to fight and surrendered! For Vigg, it¡¯s a brilliant victory!]
Hmm? It looks like the match is over. But what kind of match was this, anyway? I¡¯m really curious about the content.
But now, what I¡¯m most worried about is...
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar. What do you think of that Wacha guy?¡¹
On the way back to my seat, I asked Tre¡¯ainar about the scene we had just witnessed.
¡ºI believe he is an outsider... or rather, like Bro, someone in a positione and go to the Outside world.¡»
¡¸It seems so.¡¹
The people of this secluded nation have been in this ind country for a long time. They were born, raised, and will die here.
But, when asked if no one can go in and out, it doesn¡¯t seem to be the case.
It seemed that there were times when people go outside like Bro, or on the contrary, bring in his friends to the dojo.
Therefore, Wacha might be someone in such a position, too.
But, putting that aside.
¡¸What were they talking about earlier?¡¹
¡ºTo such an extent... nevertheless...... it did not feel like a matter that bodes well.¡»
Right. The problem is that Wacha seemed to be connected to someone else.
And, that person knew the true identity of Jamdi¡¯el.
Most importantly......
¡ºying house with that doll...¡»
¡¸I don¡¯t like the way they put it, but... there¡¯s only one person that cane to mind when they say that.¡¹
¡ºTis that one.¡»
¡¸Yeah.¡¹
A pure and innocent goddess. It¡¯s probably Kron.
In other words, they also know about Kron.
The world has yet to know of her existence, but she is a presence that could change the world.
If it was just within this ind nation, there were people in the outside world who know of Kron.
Things smelled much too dangerous.
¡ºIf the Allied Forces, Mikado, Hiro, and Solja knew about the existence of Jamdi¡¯el and Kron, they would not have let them be over a dozen years. Above all, nothing of note has urred in the three months since you arrived in this country.¡»
¡¸That¡¯s right. So..... they¡¯re not with the Allied Forces...¡¹
It wasn¡¯t the Allied Forces that Wacha was in contact with.
If so, an Anti-Government organization.
Or......
¡ºAbove all else, the one who spoke from beyond the magic crystal said...¡¯Human blood¡¯... that implies...¡»
¡¸The Demon Realm... the remnants of the former Demon King¡¯s army...¡¹
¡ºAn Underground Organization of the Demon Realm... or the likes, there are so many possibilities.¡»
There certainly were many possibilities, but none of them give a very good premonition.
I was a little heavy-hearted, and at the same time Tre¡¯ainar sighed.
¡ºAlthough she is formerly of my Six Supremacy, Jamdi¡¯el now hides among the humans. And then, a peculiar group acting covertly behind the scenes? Might be the trend of the times...¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºIn the past, when people hear the name of the Six Supremacy, they would prostrate themselves to its majesty. All feared making enemies of them, they were simply incapable of ndestine maneuvering...¡»
¡¸Well, they are legend. But it¡¯s been over ten years since they vanished. If I hadn¡¯t been intimidated by Jamdi¡¯el, I wouldn¡¯t have known the weight of their existence either.¡¹
¡ºHah~, tis lonely. ¡°White Fiendish Emperor Hakuki¡±, ¡°Beast King La¡¯iphant¡±, ¡°Damsel Commander Norja¡±, ¡°Dark Valkyrie Jamdi¡¯el ¡°, ¡°Titan God Gouda¡±, ¡°ck Sage Paripi¡±... and the Great Demon King who brought them together... it was a perfect army, and yet... two of their numbers died in battle when I was alive and well...¡»
¡¸I¡¯m not very familiar with it, but it looks that way. So, four of the living Supremacy... well, two of them, Jamdi¡¯el and Hakuki were dered missing, and they¡¯re infamous wanted persons.¡¹
The names that once yed a central role in the former Demon King Army and have now be legend, including Jamdi¡¯el.
In the legendary situation, Tre¡¯ainar seemed somewhat lonely.
¡¸I never thought that one of them, Jamdi¡¯el, would be in this country, though.¡¹
¡ºTis so... La¡¯iphant... would be surprised to know.¡»
¡¸Ah! Now he¡¯s the Supreme Leader of the Demon Realm. I¡¯ve never met him, I¡¯ve only heard about him in newspapers and sses. Seems he and my father meet on asion.¡¹
And.....
¡ºBy the way... might bete ining, but child.¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
¡ºOn the other hand, on the side of humanity... what of the other Seven Heroes? I never cared as I really had no interest in anyone other than Hiro, but...¡»
Oh,e to think of it.
Not only my father, mother, and His Majesty, but the other heroes were once enemies of this guy.
¡ºI have seen Hiro, Mamu, and Solja. The remaining four...¡»
¡¸Yes, both Rebal¡¯s parents and Fu¡¯s parents are alive and well, and they both hold important positions in the Empire. I haven¡¯t seen them in a while.¡¹
¡ºHoh~...¡¯The Sword Saint¡¯ and ¡®The Great Mage¡¯...¡»
¡¸So I¡¯ve heard that Japone¡¯s ¡®Kojirou¡¯ is the top samurai warrior in his country. Thest one from the Bethreal Kingdom is¨D¨D¨D¨D¡¹
And, it was then.
¡°Ha~~~~, Kabadi Kabadi Kabadi Kabadi!!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Tackle! ¡¿¡±
[He got caught! Kab faints in agony! A sharp intense tackle by Machio! So Fire! However, even though Machio epted the special stiption that Kab desired in good faith and fought, Machio still overwhelmed him! On the other hand, Kab¡¯s heart was broken in the process! Here is the winner! Machio advances to the second round!]
Oh, I couldn¡¯t watch Machio¡¯s match... but......
¡¸Huh... hold up it¡¯s over already... but, now¡¯s not the time for that...¡¹
¡ºTis so. Still, you cannot afford to be distracted by the uncertainties and lose the opportunity to gain strength.¡»
¡¸You may say so...¡¹
To be honest, I couldn¡¯t concentrate at all when I watched Machio¡¯s match in my current state.
After all, I¡¯m still worried. And does Jamdi¡¯el herself know about this and about Wacha?
At least Kron wouldn¡¯t know anything about it.
¡¸ying house with a doll... ha...¡¹
¡ºSympathy? I tell you, cheap sympathy is...¡»
¡¸I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s cheap, I think it¡¯s pitiful, so I guess it can¡¯t be helped¡¹
¡ºMy oh my... what a turn of events...¡»
I replied to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words of advice and clenched my fists tightly, a little pissed off.
¡¸Well fine, if you¡¯re curious, I can ask Wacha himself directly. And, I¡¯ll most definitely face Mr. Machio to decide the champion, right? Then, I¡¯ll teach them. Each and everyone will know who I am.¡¹
¡ºPerhaps, but child. To that end, the next match...¡»
¡¸Don¡¯t underestimate him.¡¹
¡ºTis fine in that case. Experience various things, let your opponent wear himself out, and then knock him down.¡»
For that purpose, I will quickly settle the second round.
Author¡¯s Note
Now, which of the living Six Supremacy was it?
Also, this has nothing to do with the above, but after writing a lot of interactions with Amae recently, there were suspicions that the author was a lolicon, but that¡¯s ridiculous. Therefore, I will try not to write too much for ¡°young¡± girls, except for Amae, so that I don¡¯t get any strange suspicions. I¡¯m sorry when I put it out by all means. After all, age is a serious matter. On the other hand, if you¡¯re older than a certain age in the settings, it shouldn¡¯t matter what I do...?

Chapter 140 ¨C A Moment
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Older Brother, Fight on! Fight on! Fure fure, older brother!¡±
Now that it¡¯s ¡°fine to call me that way,¡± she¡¯s no longer ashamed, and now Amae was leading the way in cheering me on from the bleachers.
With her small body, she was shouting with all her might, waving her pom-poms and jumping up and down.
While thinking that I have to respond to that, the name of the opponent facing me in the second round is a man named Jawara.
¡°¡±Osu!¡±¡±
We bowed to each other with the same greeting.
As an impression, my opponent was a short-haired man who seemed quite single-minded, serious, and hard-headed.
But his height was much shorter than mine.
And although he was small, he had thick muscles for his physique and looked quite heavy.
On the other hand, he doesn¡¯t seem to have a body that would allow him to move very fast.
However, this man¡¯s ¡°really noteworthy feature¡± was not there.
[Now, let¡¯s start the second round of the tournament with the talents who finally won the first round! Each has earned victory in the first round. However, one is a young man who has shown his brilliant talent that makes us feel the future. On the other hand, is a man who has been steadily improving himself over many years. Will it be a contest between talent and effort?]
That makes it sound as if I haven¡¯t made any effort, but well, it¡¯s only been about six months since I started to seriously push myself, so I guess you can¡¯t me him for saying that...?
However, looking at me like that, Jawara said with augh.
¡°You don¡¯t have to make such a face. I know.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°You¡¯re young... I could see from the left punch in the first round that you¡¯re blessed with ability, but you¡¯re also working bloody hard.¡±
I met Tre¡¯ainar less than six months ago.
Half a year since I learned about real effort.
Just a half year. But six months.
I¡¯m not proud of my efforts, but even though it¡¯s only been half a year, I think I¡¯ve had some intense days.
That¡¯s why the words ¡°I know that you are working hard¡± really touched my heart instead ofpliments such as ¡°The Son of the Hero¡± and ¡°You¡¯re blessed¡±.
I was delighted.
On the other hand...
¡°You too, right?¡±
¡°......Hmm?¡±
I think he can honestly acknowledge others because he himself experiences such days.
There was evidence to prove it.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar... this guy... his ears are going to be awesome.¡¹
¡ºHmm!¡»
The man¡¯s ¡°really noteworthy feature¡±, thates first and foremost, rather than height, physique, face, or eyes.
I saw it for the first time.
The ears of the man in front of me were melted and crushed, and the hole is also blocked.
However, this does not mean that they were ¡°unusually shaped from birth¡±.
¡ºHis ears have a good shape. With that alone, I have a feel for the man¡¯s fighting style and the days of bloody training.¡»
Looking at the man¡¯s ears, Tre¡¯ainar nodded with deep emotion.
¡ºThe ears have been scraped many times on the floor, and bumped into the opponent¡¯s head and the body many times, eventually causing internal bleeding in the ears, and as a result of repeating the same process again before it heals, the hematoma hardens and deforms the ear.... a man who has been hit by his opponent over and over again, being knocked to the floor, and still stood up and made great efforts... tis the ear of a fighter.¡»
From that word, I couldn¡¯t easily put away the word ¡°effort¡±, and it made me feel the life of a man... Jawara.
¡ºChild, look at him. Smaller than you. His footwork is not so agile due to the manner in which his muscles are attached. In terms of overall strength and talent, you are not inferior. He is not as talented as other warriors I have seen and made a name for themselves in the world. Tis why he worked hard to make up for it and ovee it, and now he stands before you.¡»
Hearing those words, I try to touch my ears. Such beautiful ears.
But......
¡ºNevertheless, as you know, a fight is not a contest of effort. Be merciless and unforgiving, do not let your guard down or underestimate your opponent, and crush him with your left.¡»
Yes, it doesn¡¯t matter what your ears are or how much effort you put in.
This is a ce topare our strengths.
And, I don¡¯t mean to underestimate my opponent, but I do care about how I win.
Like in the first round, I will win with my left.
[Then, let the first match of the second round, begiiiiiiiiin!!]
With the start signal, Jawara stood t-footed, lowered his hips, and held his hands up in front of him.
There was no sign of an attacking from over there.
Obviously, he was waiting for my attack.
But I don¡¯t think he had enough speed or dynamic vision to evade my left.
But he¡¯s aiming for something.
If I stick to winning, not how to win, I could run around him with my feet then hit and run...
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
I¡¯ll chop him up from the front with the left here.
[Uooooooh, the lefts from Earth are like whips, cutting through the air and Jawara¡¯s skin! So fast, too fast! Instead of the unmatched precise lefts like the first round, these are violent lefts he¡¯s throwing!!]
Sure enough, this guy can¡¯t avoid my left.
However, it seemed he had no intention of avoiding it from the start.
And, his muscles and bones were pretty hard.
¡°Tsu, what a left, what speed, trajectory! You¡¯ve been hiding something like this ... but ... I can¡¯t fall! I¡¯m confident in my endurance!!¡±
Jawara stretched out both hands while being hit. But he didn¡¯t hit me with his hands or shoot magic.
Then what was he doing?
¡°eh, to, h, here!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
I paused and carried on shooting with the same rhythm, so Jawara moved in time with me.
It was the sleeve of my clothes that he grabbed with his hand until he got a nosebleed after taking so many of my flickers.
¡°Gotcha!¡±
¡°Whoa...?¡±
An unknown technique. From there. Grabbed my sleeve and what... eh!?
¡°What!? My body...¡±
Just grabbing my sleeves broke my entire body¡¯s bnce and center of gravity. I couldn¡¯t put in any power.
Then, my left arm got caught under Jawara¡¯s armpit, and he immediately copsed while pulling me...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Circle Throw(Tomoe nage)¡¿!¡±
¡°A throw!¡±
I was thrown as he fell down... this is bad!
At that moment, I was trembling.
I thought I was in trouble, and I writhed in panic.
The hold on my left arm, which was locked by Jawara, was also shallow, so I was able to slip out at thest minute.
¡°tte, so close! One more time!¡±
I managed to get out of it for now, but if Jawara had more ¡°power¡± and ¡°speed¡±, I would have definitely been mmed to the ground on the back... probably...... I imagine... my arm might have been broken or dislocated at the elbow by the momentum.
Such a nasty technique.
¡°Tch, what the heck? What is that fighting style?¡±
¡°No matter how many hits I get, I¡¯ll endure and get a bite in, just need one shot!¡±
It¡¯s a bare-knuckle style, no magic.
¡°Unlike Machio, I don¡¯t meddle in techniques or other soft paths! I have pursued only this path, don¡¯t think you can destroy me with a little bit of effort!¡±
Jawara¡¯s not punching me or kicking me, he was going for my clothes?
Is this his fighting style?
I mean, Mr. Machio? What does Machio have to do with this...
¡°I¡¯m not done yet, kid!¡±
¡°Tch, ¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Endure, endure, endure!!¡±
And maybe he got used to the pain of my flicker, Jawara drew his chin, guarded only his vital points, and jumped into my flicker storm again, trying only not to pass out.
With just a moment of offense and defense, his face had already swollen up, but he still approached me with teeth clenched regardless.
If he gets close again and jumps into my pocket, would he grab my sleeve or arm and throw it?
¡¸Such an unusual fighting style...¡¹
¡ºFufufu, such manner of fighting exists as well. Remember that.¡»
¡¸Sure, if a faster, stronger guy did the same thing to me... I¡¯d be horrified...¡¹
It was an unknown technique, for sure.
It¡¯s fresh, to say the least.
¡°Kuh, tsu, say, but ... it looks rough, it¡¯s actually a sophisticated punch, and it resonates with the core... but...... to put it badly, your punch is, too polite!¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°If you are prepared to be hit and as long as you cover the vitals... if you grit your teeth... it¡¯s not enough to reap lives! I can bear it!¡±
At that time, Jawara, who approached step by step while being engraved with my flicker, shouted.
¡ºFufufufu, tis too polite... that is what he says, is it not? Child.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was grinning as if looking at me.
To be honest, there were many ways to defeat Jawara.
Keeping a distance with footwork and preventing the approach. Intercepting on the right. A barrage with magic Breakthrough.
But if you¡¯re concerned about winning...
¡°Don¡¯t look down on it. My left is too polite? I can be rough, right?¡±
¡°But I¡¯m in! From the bosom...¡±
Jawara finally jumped into my pocket.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Thigh ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°As if!¡±
¡°Ju, show me!¡±
¡°Eh!? A feint!?¡±
I aimed at his face and shot the left, and Jawara, who had been hit so far, crouched on the spot and evaded my punch for the first time.
And, right after, reached for my legs with both hands...
¡°You¡¯re too focused on the top, and the bottom is open, kid!¡±
¡°...... Nu...¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Double-Handed Mowing¡¿!!¡±
He¡¯ll reap my legs... or, so it seemed......
¡°¡¾Great Demon Rabbit Punch¡¿!¡±
¡°Eehh!!??¡±
He tried to mow both my legs, I naturally punched Jawara at the ¡°back of the head¡±, which was naturally exposed directly under me, when I pulled back the punch that I missed...
¡°Ah, guh, gu ... oh ... guh ...¡±
In an instant, Jawara was dazed, his knees were shaking, and he waspletely defenseless.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿¡±
¡°Ah... Ah.¡±
Not a flicker, but a straight left jab that took the shortest distance with the least amount of movement, striking him in the jaw.
The next moment, Jawara fell like a puppet with a broken string, and that¡¯s it.
¡°Ah... oh...¡±
¡°Al, already, won...¡±
¡°I, in an instant...¡±
Jawara copsed, and the venue was silent.
It was a very intense battle for both of us, but it all ended in less than a minute.
[O...... Ah... Yes... in a sh! It was a split second decision! Hold on, I watched without time to add thementary... anyway, it was Earth who won the battle! It was a dignified advance to the semi-final!]
The words of thete host and the cheers erupted at the same time.
¡°Ts... ugh... eh?! Ah...¡±
Then Jawara, who had lost consciousness for about 10 seconds, suddenly woke up.
He looked around, and looked at me and was a little stunned, but he seemed to understand the situation.
¡°...... I fainted. Me.¡±
¡°Well, it¡¯s only for a few seconds...¡±
¡°Ha~~~...¡±
Knowing that he had lost, Jawara flopped on his back andid there.
¡°I¡¯ve been mmed many times, and hit over and over again... I was confident that I could withstand the pain, but... it was not enough for those unexpected punches...¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t want to be thrown and mmed on my back... if I was unlucky, my arm might have broken.¡±
¡°Invigorating. Even though... I shouldn¡¯t be ¡®going easy¡¯ on youngsters like this~.¡±
¡°Going easy? I was fixated on how to win, but I don¡¯t remember you cutting corners?¡±
¡°Ha~...... once more, let¡¯s go from the start.¡±
Saying that, Jawara stood up again, staggering, butughing, tapping my shoulder lightly with his fist.
¡°Older brother won! He won!¡±
¡°Even such a blow... remarkable, you do some amazing things, Earth.¡±
¡°But he¡¯s strong. That Jawara in an instant...¡±
I responded to all of them while raising my hand, and at the same time I waved to Amae and others.
Then, I saw Mr. Machio and Wacha, who were watching my fight beside the arena entrance, and smiled.
¡°Hurry up, I¡¯ll be going ahead, okay?¡±
In response to my smile, Mr. Machio and Wacha gave back fearless smiles.

This isn¡¯t a sport, so we¡¯re going to do some nasty attacks, but good boys shouldn¡¯t use rabbit punches even in a fight, right?
Chapter 141 – Caught Off Guard
Chapter 141 ¨C Caught Off Guard
Tranted by: Sads07
¡ºDid you stretch out your muscles a little and hurt yourself? Well, tis no problem, now is it?¡»
¡°Yeah, no problem.¡±
¡ºBesides, during a tournament like this, the adrenaline is pumping, so you would not feel any pain.¡»
At the end of the match, I left and checked my body for the time being.
Repeat the shadow to check the condition of the arms, elbows, and joints that were about to be clinched by Jawara.
¡°But... that was a pretty dangerous move...¡±
¡ºTo some extent, the fangs of his efforts have left their impression... such obstinacy...¡»
He was a worthy opponent, to be sure.
Jawara almost got me, it looked like he stretched my muscles a bit with that ¡®Circle Throw¡¯ or something technique.
However, there is nothing wrong with this much.
When I tried to get back to watching the next match...
¡°...... um...¡±
¡°Nuh!?¡±
The moment I turned around, I ran into someone I hadn¡¯t expected to see, and my body trembled.
¡°Sadiz...¡±
No way, Sadiz. I was so surprised by her unexpected appearance that I let out a strange voice.
What the hell is she doing here alone?
When I thought so, I noticed ¡°something¡± that Sadiz had in her hand.
¡°Um...... I know it¡¯s not my ce to ask, but...¡±
She held something out to me in a very reserved manner, it was a bulging cloth bag.
And leaking from the bag was... Magic and... cold air.
¡°...... ice?¡±
¡°Yes. Apparently I could use magic as well, so I... made it.¡±
Looking into the contents, I saw a slightlyrger piece of ice.
But why...
¡°Excuse me.¡±
¡°Hey, hey.¡±
¡°Stay... still, please.¡±
My heart started pounding. She approached me, took my left arm, and ced the cloth bag with ice on my elbow.
At that moment, Sadiz¡¯s scent wafted through the air, my mind was shaken, but at the same time my arms were slowly cooled down, making it eased.
This is......?
¡ºTis icing. ept it obediently, child.¡»
¡¸Aisingu?¡¹
¡ºIndeed. It has benefits such as preventing the deterioration of muscle fiber damage, suppressing swelling, relieving pain, and even preventing ligaments from stretching.¡»
¡¸Oh, that¡¯s what she¡¯s doing?¡¹
My head felt better and my fatigue seemed to be lessening.
Was this another effect of icing?
But Sadiz knew that...?
¡°...It¡¯s... getting better.¡±
¡°I¡¯m d, but don¡¯t overdo it, okay?¡±
When I said that frankly, Sadiz smiled gently.
¡°...... Why...¡±
¡°Pardon?¡±
¡°Why... are you doing this?¡±
Sadiz¡¯s smile tightened my heart for the first time in a while, and I couldn¡¯t help but ask.
Then Sadiz looked like she was thinking for a moment and...
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°It¡¯s just... when I think about something happening to you, even slightly... my whole body started shaking... I had to do something... once I realized that, I found myself here.¡±
I knew that it was probably the former Sadiz, who was always cold, harsh, or teasing, but was actually more over-protected than anyone else, that would have made her do it.
That¡¯s why, it was heartrending.
I had mixed feelings.
But...... now I¡¯m still...
[Aaaaaaah right, just before the start of the match, as Vigg and his opponent came face to face with each other and unleashed their fighting spirit, he made a give-up deration!]
At that moment, a groan and the boisterous voice of the host burst from outside.
[First-ss swordsmen understand their opponent¡¯s strength before drawing the sword from the scabbard. In other words, it is the second- ss and third-ss that would draw out a sword against an opponent they can¡¯t beat! And Vigg, with his first-ss Excalibur, knows this. Without pulling it out, he knows just how good his opponent¡¯s sword is, just by confronting him face to face. Vigg Mhara, give up! Machio Proteen¡¯s advances to the semifinals!!]
To put it bluntly, it was the kind of development that brought a ¡®?¡¯ floating in my head. But once the decision was made, it could not be overturned.
Apparently, Mr. Machio won.
[And with that top four have been decided! At this point, I¡¯d like to ask the four warriors who have made it this far toe out before you! Men who were chosen from men among men,e on out!]
At the same time, the host was calling for the winners, including me, as part of his service to the audience.
It can¡¯t be helped, I have no choice but to go.
¡°Sadiz... this...... is enough... for everything.¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
I returned the ice bag to Sadiz, and...
¡°I¡¯m healed... ah... thank you.¡±
¡°Ah... no...... next time... please do your best. But don¡¯t...¡±
¡°I won¡¯t overdo it... I want to graduate from ¡°Little man¡± already...¡±
¡°Eh!? ...... ah...¡±
I thanked her meekly ... that¡¯s all, but still, I hesitated a little... it¡¯s also painful and lonely.
Feeling like that, I headed to the arena.
[Now, the semifinal match-ups will be ¡®Supernova Earth¡¯ vs. ¡®Veteran Warrior Wacha¡¯, ¡®Cavern Seeker Denchok¡¯ vs. ¡®Superhuman Machio. Who will be thest one standing?]
When I walked out into the arena, everyone was already there. So I ran up to them and lined up beside Machio.
There were four of us: me, Wacha, the weird man, and Mr. Machio.
[Behold, the four super-males who have triumphed!]
A big cheer rose once again for us who have won from all over the venue.
[As the nickname implies, Earth Lagann has wrecked geniuses and hard-workers alike since the first round with his unparalleled senses and fighting ability! Making his presence felt as a guide and a wall for his students and disciples, Wacha Huacha, wielding skills worthy of such a role! Although branded for life as a sinner, Denchok Jahr, who has surprisingly defeated the best of the best in this tournament without breaking any rules! The number one contender, the overwhelming favorite, who defied the pressure of his opponent¡¯s strengths and evenpeting in their field of specialty, Machio Proteen, stands victorious!]
As far as I was concerned, it was a predictable turn of events.
I wonder if it¡¯s the same for everyone else.
In the first ce, we fought the first and second rounds, but we were almost unscathed.
¡°You look like you¡¯ve got a lot of leeway aye, Earth.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Well, far from being the bottom of your power, we haven¡¯t shown even half of your ability yet, so of course, aye?¡±
As the top four were decided, we went out to the arena and were introduced to everyone once again.
While the cheers loudly rang out, Wacha next to me asked me in a whisper.
¡°No, it¡¯s the same for you, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s not the case, aye. My fighting is a matter of experience and depth of knowledge, and if I make a mistake, you never know what could have happened, aye.¡±
¡°I wonder? And it¡¯s not as easy as it sounds, either, right? I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw Jawara¡¯s technique in the second round. I don¡¯t know about the first round.¡±
With our next opponent, we were having a conversation as if sounding each other out.
Meanwhile...
¡°You¡¯re ...... big... Machio¡±
¡°Are you talking about height?¡±
¡°Do you...... have a lover?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not worthy of one.¡±
¡°You¡¯re thick.¡±
¡°...... are you talking about the arms?¡±
¡°I want to see it. I¡¯d like to see you all puffed up¡±
¡°You want me to pose? That¡¯s fine, sometimes I show them off to the young ones in the orphanage.¡±
¡°I want to touch it.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t we do it?¡±
¡°We¡¯re going to battle in the semifinals, right?¡±
The conversation next to us, was weird.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the conversation is going well, but somehow not meshing together?
Am I the only one who feels chills?
¡°Not only the fighting style... Earth, you¡¯re surprisingly different from your parents, who are just simple-minded and rambunctious, aye.¡±
¡°Hmm? ............ tte, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh!?¡±
As I was taken aback by the conversation next to me, Wacha unexpectedly muttered something that caught me off guard.
Involuntarily, I raised my voice, and for a moment the entire venue amicably gazed at me, and I hurriedly closed my mouth with my hand, but ... this guy ...
¡°Y, you...¡±
¡°Fufufufu¡±
No, he has connections to the outside world, so naturally, he would know about me... didn¡¯t this old man want to hide it?

Chapter 142 – The Paper-Thin World
Chapter 142 ¨C The Paper-Thin World
Tranted by: Sads07
[Now, the semifinals of the chosen men! Facing off, the supernova and the veteran warrior. Truly, this is aposition of the new era and tradition!]
Me and Wacha. We face each other in our signature stances
I flicker. And step lightly.
On the other hand, Wacha¡¯s stance was, contrary to me, with his dominant hand in front of him, pointing at me with his fingers spread out instead of clenching his fist.
¡ºThe dominant hand upfront... Southpaw style. And by having the right in front, it makesnding hits with your left more difficult.¡»
Southpaw style. I never really thought about that.
But......
¡°Hard to hit with the left? I can strike the guy! Without restraint!¡±
¡°?¡±
If I can¡¯t ovee a bit of difficulty, I won¡¯t make it in the world ahead.
[Now, do show us what you got! Reveal the oue of this showdown! Let the semifinals...... Begin!!]
With the start signal, I jumped out.
Tond hits in a difficult situation, as much as you want, is proof that you can dominate the world with your left hand.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huacha!!¡±
Left. It bent like a whip, and carved Wacha at an irregr trajectory.
However, unlike the opponents in the first and second rounds, Wacha was not hit.
¡°Whoa...¡±
¡°Even if it¡¯s irregr, your left is... always aiming at my head from the front aye! If so, this much!¡±
With the right hand put out in front, he was fending off the lefts.
I see. Certainly, this is the merit of the southpaw stance, isn¡¯t it?
But......
¡°Then, what if I don¡¯te at you head-on?¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
Dominating on the left does not mean stopping still and just punching like an idiot with your left hand to win.
You have to be able to put together a n to apply the left, which is your weapon.
¡°Magical Footwork¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
In therge arena, I elerate and move in a circle around Wacha.
Sure enough, he doesn¡¯t seem able to keep up with my footwork.
Don in the middle, inviting me in.
Then......
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Here, aye!¡±
I move my shoulder slightly as I elerate into Wacha¡¯s blind spot, diagonally behind him, and released the left.
However, Wacha, who had predicted my dive from the blind spot, reacted immediately.
He tried to put a counter on my left side with the finger jab that he showed in the first round...
¡°Gotcha!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
I never underestimated Wacha, either.
Therefore, I was properly reading what was being read.
The left I was trying to release was a feint.
I stopped just before, and a rather simple right straight finger jab from Wacha was released, then I reintroduced the left I stopped to cover that right.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Left Cross¡¿!¡±
With this, it¡¯s in.....
¡°Just kidding, aye?.¡±
¡°Eh...¡±
However, when it came to reading the undersurface, Wacha had more experience than I did.
Did you read up to the left cross?
A finger jab that I thought was straight. But suddenly, his right elbow bent, changing the trajectory of my cross counter!
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Cross Counter Return¡¿ aye!¡±
And, aiming at my defenseless jaw, Wacha stretched his piercing left... toward my eyeball. But......
¡°Kuuka!¡±
¡°What the!?¡±
Upper body evasion. Avoid with the ¡¾Great Demon Swayback¡¿.
¡°O, ooh... I thought I could cut the area around the eyelids a little without a direct hit, but... you have extraordinary dynamic vision...¡±
¡°Of course. I¡¯ve been secretly training hard ever since I lost thoroughly to Jamdi¡¯el in Magical Vision Training!¡±
Improving the basic ability of dynamic visual acuity, eye movement, and peripheral vision.
Without thesest three months of training, that might have been a bit dangerous.
¡°And I was using this left three months ago...¡±
¡°Nuh?¡±
¡°And after three months, now... I can hit lefts like this, right?¡±
I resume my attack.
I took some distance with the backstep and flickered again.
Wacha also tried to get poised again with the same stance as before, but ... it¡¯s not the same.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°This left aye!¡±
It looked like a flicker, but then I changed my stance, and it¡¯s just a straight left.
The left is the basics of the basics, no gimmicks or anomalies.
But Wacha, who would have seen the trajectory and rhythm of my Flicker, was a moment toote in reacting.
¡°Habu!?¡±
¡°Ora! There are still a lot of shots... hnn?¡±
I got in. On the left... nuh?
No, there was no response. This is...... a neck twist! He twisted his neck in the same direction as my straight left to reduce damage... and slipped away!
¡°Fui~, really... I can¡¯t let my guard down for even a moment.¡±
Could he, just like me, perform this sort of defense?
But this is not something just anyone can do.
That¡¯s the power of the trained eye...
¡ºTis intuition based on experience... is it not?¡»
Avoiding direct hits with experience and intuition that I did not have.
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s calm words made me chuckle inwardly.
¡°Hehe... you¡¯re... amazing.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar described Wacha as, ¡°having more power, speed, and overall strength than I do¡±.
In fact, even as we face each other like this, I felt the same way.
However, Tre¡¯ainar also said this about Wacha.
¡°Technique...¡±
A man of great skill. So much so that Tre¡¯ainar praised him.
And, that¡¯s why he said that there was no better opponent when going out into the world.
¡°By all possible means, I¡¯ll have you take one left shot with all my might!¡±
¡°Haha, go easy on me, aye.¡±
I¡¯ll hit you. Without fail. I began carving out the steps again, building them up to hit the left.
[There is... no direct hit from either side! By a skin, by the flesh, they are fighting each other with merely a paper thin world between them! Wh, what we are witnessing here is, al, already, a, a hitnded... no, that didn¡¯t connect either! Wow, I was sure... I saw it, didn¡¯t I? Ah, ugh, ah...]
Unusually, the host was unable to calmly exin the situation.
And then, the audience forgot their cheers and jeers and became silent.
The host was finally speechless before long, perhaps everyone was staring breathlessly, fascinated by the paper thin offense and defense, and before he knew it, only the sound of the air being blown by our attacks echoed in the arena.
Author¡¯s Note
Rugby World Cup! Japan has defeated Irnd, the no.2 in the world ranking! The excitement breakthrough, piercing the heavens, I couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and wrote about it.
Strong! It¡¯s not a miraculous Giant Killing anymore, it¡¯s real ability! It¡¯s impossible not to write about this historic moment!
Well, during Anikki¡¯s college days... the yearling who once beat Anikki¡¯s team in a practice match against the University of the East Sea, is now the captain of the Japanese national team and has beaten a world contender.
I know I¡¯m halfway through, and this is a little shorter than usual, but please forgive me! I can¡¯t sleep with all this excitement unless I update two chapters today!
For those who aren¡¯t interested in rugby at all, it may not really matter, but please forgive me.
Nuoooooooh!

Chapter 143 ¨C The End of the Even-Match
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Ara, well, oh my, this time it¡¯s that one? Somehow, what a really amazing fight!¡±
From the highest seat, the voice of a carefree goddess could be heard.
Normally, I would be distracted, but now I¡¯m not distracted in the slightest.
¡°Fufufufufu, splendid. Earth Lagann. With only left-fist techniques, thou skills do not fall short of Wacha¡¯s... I am increasingly delighted.¡±
And, although the former member of the legendary Six Supremacy also liked it, now is not the time to be pleased about it.
¡°A bit more... even so... I can¡¯t get it.¡±
I¡¯m trying to hit the target, but I can¡¯t.
High-speed leftssh out while tossing him around with my steps.
However, as if he was reading my movements ahead of time, Wacha handled them, and just when I thought I¡¯d hit him, he¡¯s gone.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
My jab can¡¯t be evaded after seeing it.
But this guy could evade it.
To think that he¡¯s avoiding all this by anticipating my movements with only his experience and intuition, he¡¯s quite formidable.
Because there was no strategy.
And I¡¯m not just running around.
¡°Howacha! Howa, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Jeet Kune Do¡¿!¡±
¡°Whoa!¡±
If I¡¯m not careful, he¡¯llnd a counter in between my left-handed strikes.
Moreover, feet, elbows, fingers, back fists.
He also attacked with the parts of the body that I can¡¯t use.
I guess this is what it means to have a lot to draw from.
¡°Howacha! ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Short Strong(Fajin)¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Left Corkscrew¡¿!¡±
My left and Wacha¡¯s right shed.
In destructive power... I¡¯m on top!
¡°Oruaaah!¡±
¡°Nu!?¡±
My left side, which was driven by the screw, was more prative and destructive.
Pushed by my fist, Wacha¡¯s upper body leaned back, throwing him off bnce.
Right here, I¡¯ll be able to close the gap between us... but... anyway, it¡¯s an invitation, isn¡¯t it?
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Demolition Fist¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Parrying¡¿... kara~¡±
¡°Uo, you defended against that too?!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Chopping Left¡¿!¡±
Sure enough, the moment I closed the gap, he countered with a straight middle thrust.
But I knew it wasing, so I parried with my left hand.
And then it¡¯s the same thing all over again...
[Ah... no hit! It¡¯s a dizzying technical battle as they repeatedly attack and defend at the same time! No, it¡¯s already amazing that Earth can contend with Wacha in a technical battle!? But Wacha isn¡¯t being overpowered by Earth¡¯s youth and vigor! They¡¯re evenly matched! Such an amazing match!]
¡°Older brother, fight on fight on, fiiiiight oooon!¡±
¡°Big Brother, give it your all!¡±
¡°Come on, let¡¯s see you give a cheer Big Sister Sadiz~!¡±
¡°G, go for it... fure fure, go for it.¡±
Neither of us couldnd a decisive blow.
Therefore, our faces still remain clean.
Certainly, the current situation is even, as the host said.
But......
¡°Hahaha he is overestimating our chances aye¡±
Wacha chuckled.
The reason was simple.
¡°Such a shame, I¡¯m attacking with every part of my body, whereas my opponent is attacking with only one left hand... I¡¯m appalled to hear that we are evenly matched, aye.¡±
Yes, using only my left, I haven¡¯t lifted the ban on the right yet. I haven¡¯t even head-butted.
Wacha himself probably knows what that meant in this evenly matched situation.
But......
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be serious, but the theme is just the left.¡±
¡°Hahaha. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s okay to feel at ease or if it¡¯s better to be depressed, so subtle aye...¡±
Still, I have decided to stick with the left.
So I don¡¯t hit the right.
Until this match, that is.
¡°But... your fists are too technical aye... you...... why don¡¯t you use a sword aye?¡±
¡°Nuh?¡±
At that point, Wacha asked me during the interval of the battle.
That question, anyone who knew about ¡°my identity¡± would be curious.
¡°My father may have been a hero, but that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m his sessor.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why ¡®this here¡¯ is my path, my choice.¡±
Wacha seemed surprised that I am the son of a hero, but did not use a magic sword.
I showed Wacha my fist and taught him my style again.
¡°...... It¡¯s not just a rebellious phase... apparently, you really don¡¯t want to choose the path of a magic swordsman... well, that¡¯s probably why your bare-hands have reached such a high level aye...¡±
Then, somehow, Wacha nodded as if he was convinced.
¡°So... you...... seem to know my father.¡±
¡°You¡¯d have to be crazy not to know aye¡±
¡°You¡¯re not hiding it.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no point in ying dumb with you, aye... and...¡±
¡°And?¡±
¡°...... hmm, no... yeah...... but...¡±
I also asked about Wacha.
However, Wacha seemed to think a little...
¡°I have some history with your father... so I thought...... I¡¯d share that destiny with you aye...¡±
¡°What? Destiny?¡±
¡°Umm... if you¡¯re not following the same path as your father, but walking your own path... hmm, because holding a grudge is really unbing... I¡¯m at a loss aye. You see, the organization I belonged to was crushed, and the boss was tossed into prison by the hero...¡±
You don¡¯t just know my father, do you?
An acquaintance? History? What the heck......
¡°Are the goddess and the High Priestess watching over there aware?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know a goddess, but... the High Priestess knows of course aye. On top of that, they are letting me roam free... that... makes it easier to detect the movements of ...... ¡®that man¡¯.¡±
When I nced up, Jamdi¡¯el was looking down with a fearless smile.
I mean, who was ¡®that man¡¯?
¡°Hero... history...... the final key... there¡¯s a lot of stuff that concern you aye.... it can¡¯t be helped. For now, I¡¯ll just focus on the fight aye.¡±
Wacha had a lot of doubts and thoughts, but now he¡¯s ready to focus on this fight and faced me again.
[Oh-uh, what¡¯s this? The two seem to be talking with some serious expressions... however, they must havee to a conclusion! They¡¯ll sh with their fists once more! All right, show off more of that high-quality battle!! ¡¹
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Uoooh, good, do it!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I didn¡¯t really understand our conversation, but cheers rose as we were about to start fighting again to our hearts content.
Apparently, the crowd wanted us to ¡°Stop messing around and fight¡±.
Well, it can¡¯t be helped....
¡°All right, I¡¯ll focus.¡±
There are many things that I was curious about, but I nodded my head in agreement.
And.....
¡°And... I thought I¡¯d let you experience a little more of me, but... that¡¯s it.¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
¡°Because I¡¯m... really going to get ¡®focused¡¯.¡±
My body was warm enough, and my nerves and senses were sharpened high the high-level of attack and defense.
¡°Seriously? You¡¯ll use the right, aye? Or maybe...... the High Priestess is curious... the secret technique, Break¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°No, no. Still just the left. But with the left... I¡¯ll hit you with a left that is more focused.¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
¡°Not the breakthrough. Not with magic, but... nerves...... and mind...¡±
Now, I can ¡°get in¡±.
¡°I¡¯ll show you. The ¡®zone¡¯... and..... end it in an instant.¡±
I went into the Extreme Concentration Mode.

An exciting morning. But today, as I said yesterday morning, I¡¯m going to the 15th anniversary event of Syosetu, so I can¡¯t update two chapters, please forgive me.
Chapter 144 – Intermission (Kenpo Martial Artist)
Chapter 144 ¨C Intermission (Kenpo Martial Artist)
Tranted by: Sads07
This is a problem aye. The eyes of a young man who burns with youth, purely focused on improving himself.
If he looks at me like that, it will be even more shameful for me to link him with my fate.
In fact, there was no resentment or hatred towards him.
The organization being destroyed by the hero, Hiro, was simply them reaping what they sow, and toin about it would beshing out with unjustified resentment aye.
In other words, it had nothing to do with him.
¡°...... Hey...... Wacha. Is there anyone out on the ind who seems usable?¡±
¡°There are a few aye¡±
¡°I see. I was a little concerned about harboring that woman, but thanks to her opening a strange dojo, I have more people I can use, and it will help.¡±
¡°Arcane True Zenith Dojo aye. I¡¯m also getting stronger aye.¡±
The country isted from the Union as a secluded nation.
In other words, if you flee there, no one can catch you no matter what crimes you havemitted outside.
It has been more than ten years since I came to this ind country as an ¡°unofficial tour conductor¡± who connected the inside and outside of this ind country within the organization. Nowadays, no one doubted me being a resident of this country aye.
Originally, in Cacretale, it was considered a crime for residents to leave the ind and for people from outside toe to the ind.
So there I was, aye. I made connections by bribing people at the center of the nation, and as long as I was an intermediary, I was able to unofficially connect the ind to the outside world.
However, those days changed when a man, who was a brother to the boss of the organization and one of the Six Supremacy of the Demon King Army, requested that we sheltered a woman and her baby on the ind.
The woman was also one of the Six Supremacy who left their names in history. And the baby she brought with her was so scared for her life that I didn¡¯t even check her background aye.
And while she was in hiding, the woman instigated the people of this country to create an environment where she could move easily and conveniently.
As I was not originally from this country, I moved around in a position that was convenient for me aye, but before I knew it, the people thought that I was ¡®The High Priestess¡¯ oldest disciple¡¯ aye.
As a result, the ministers of the old regime, who knew my identity but had tolerated me, were also dismissed and no longer bribed me, and I was okay with that aye...
¡°Hey,tely there¡¯s this half-demon kid who¡¯s been rampaging against the organization in Cantidan... a brat called Bro... was he using... the Arcane True Zenith Style?¡±
¡°Eh, Bro... aye?¡±
¡°After all, he¡¯s a Cacretale brat. What¡¯s going on? You didn¡¯t send him, did you?¡±
¡°No aye! Probably... on his own...... maybe Bro doesn¡¯t know anything about the organization, and it¡¯s just a coincidence...¡±
¡°Tch, geez... hey, the executives of the organization will start to move. That brat¡¯s done for already, so stick with the n, got it?¡±
The problem was the copse of the old regime.
The country of Cacretale still had no intention of opening its doors to the world, but instead, it had be rxed about its residents leaving the ind, and allowing visitors to the ind, as long as they were introduced.
Because the system that was supposed to condemn them has copsed aye.
And when I realized that I would have to discontinue my job as a tour conductor on this ind, another incident urred aye.
The organization was destroyed by the hero, Hiro, and the Knights of the Imperial City, and the boss was also captured.
In other words, now I no longer have the organization to return to, so I¡¯ve really be just another resident of the ind.
And now I¡¯m just a tame person, keeping in touch with the boss¡¯ brother, and the sisters looking out for Jamdi¡¯el who was in hiding.
For my life, I don¡¯t know where I went wrong.
I fell into such a situation, and for the rest of my life, what will I live for aye? To train? To fight?
I don¡¯t even know what I¡¯m doing anymore aye.
The son of Hiro, the hero who crushed the organization and caught the boss, appeared in front of me.
While I understand that it¡¯s wrong to hold a grudge, I can¡¯t say that I don¡¯t have feelings about him.
In addition, the man who actually confronted me was so genuinely gleeful about my skills that it made me feel even sorrier to bring up such a connection.
After all, it was tactless aye.
And above all, his eyes have changed even more aye.
He had a really focused expression, as if he seriously meant to defeat me aye.
I must respond to this aye.
It¡¯s not about the organization or my life. On equal ground, as a man.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Finger Jab¡¿!¡±
Use my full strength. And, I released the fastest most merciless attack at the eyes of the young man in front of me.
I¡¯m sure he¡¯s aiming for a counter.
By his previous strategy, it would be a cross counter. However, I had already defeated that with a cross-counter return earlier aye.
The only other thing I can think of is that he will sway back and hit me when my body is fully extended.
I wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb the impact and would take heavy damage. Since I¡¯m stepping forward, even a head slip won¡¯t be enough aye.
Then, I still dared to go for it aye.
If it is a cross counter, I¡¯ll return the cross counter.
If it¡¯s a counter from an evasion on the sway, I¡¯ll hit his body with my left fist aye.
Of course, I also have a risk of failure, but if it is only one left blow, I will grit my teeth and endure it aye.
Come on, aye!
Come on, aye!
I¡¯ll endure......
¡°............¡±
¡°......?¡±
Didn¡¯t...e?
There was no sign of a counter or feeling of avoiding it with a sway.
He just looked at my finger jab with a very focused expression...
¡°Wh... at?¡±
And, contrary to my expectations, Earth shifted his body slightly and avoided my finger jab with minimal movement.
However, he did not avoid and immediately go for the infight from the step-in, he just avoided it.
What was he thinking?
I don¡¯t understand.
But since he didn¡¯te, I pulled back my right finger jab and without pause, with a left¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Gaga!? ......?¡±
That was the moment, a shock that I could notprehend hit my jaw... huh?
¡°...... Wha?¡±
Why? Why, am I... before I knew what was happening, both my knees were on the ground...?
[What?! S, see here, what was that!? Wacha is down!? In aplete change from his previous offense and defense, he caught Wacha in the jaw with a normal left sh!!]
Eh? My jaw with a left? Why? I couldn¡¯t see...
¡°Fufufufufu... Hahahahahaha! Hahahaha! I never imagined thou could do this... while still a mere human being... topetently aim at that point?? As one would expect... the final key! Inheriting the power of the Great Demon!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el...? Why are youughing in such a good mood aye?
And, on the contrary, the audience was puzzled by my current state.
Why am I kneeling down on the ground?
But I don¡¯t know aye. I know he got my chin, but I don¡¯t know the moment at all.
Did you see Jamdi¡¯el? Do you know what happened aye?
¡°Fufufufu, how many here would realize? The Finger Jab Wacha pulled back... he didn¡¯t match that finger jab... not even right after the end of the opponent¡¯s strike... but when the opponent finished hitting and ¡°pulled¡± the fist back, it was hidden behind the opponent¡¯s arm and driven in... it¡¯s simply an invisible punch.¡±
When pulling the finger jab...?
¡°This is what I was able to hit by entering the zone... the¡¾Great Demon Phantom Punch¡¿.¡±
¡°...... fanto... mu?¡±
Oh... I see... maybe the life I didn¡¯t know what I was living for... that¡¯s what appeared before me...
¡°I¡¯d like to thank you. For the first time, I was able to ¡®enter¡¯ in an actual battle... I was able to ¡®grasp¡¯ the extreme timing ... you brought it out.¡±
I¡¯ve been stuck in the same ce ...... with the organization as an excuse... but this young man was trying to jump out into the world... perhaps...... I lived to this day... for this young man...
[Ah, he can¡¯t stand! And Wacha just fell down to the ground... faint! He¡¯s fainted! A sh on the left, like a bolt of lightning! A new era and history. Today, the decision goes to the new age! Earth Lagann, is headed for the finals with flying colors!!]
Author¡¯s Note
I went to the Narou event. Hundreds of people were gathered at the symposium-like hall.
Anniki was about to be seized by a security guard at the entrance for some reason, but was able to evade with Magical Steps and enter the venue.
On the day of the event, we did the following:
- An open discussion between writers (I had nothing to do with it) and voice actors in charge of radio
- At the karaoke of voice actors, everyone brought penlights HIYOOO
- A reading session of Narou novels (I didn¡¯t care about it) by voice actors. A Viiness Engagement Annulment Event
- Listened to Narou radio broadcast on the spot
That was all.
Chapter 145 – Be Happy
Chapter 145 ¨C Be Happy
Tranted by: Sads07
Just as I thought, sparring and actualbat are different.
The deep and high-dimensional reading and fighting opponents with a variety of techniques heightened my concentration.
As a result, I was able to sessfully perform the Zone and the Great Demon Phantom Punch by my own will, not by chance.
Being able to seed in an actual battle gave me the utmost confidence, and I was able to gain a knack or a feeling that would lead me to the next step.
¡°How was it?¡±
¡ºIf tis only the first time, tis a fluke. Abilityes only after seeding twice in a row. And, I shall admit that you havepletely made it your own after three consecutive sesses. I will not approve it with a 50/50 all or nothing sess rate, do keep that in mind.¡»
¡°Osu~¡±
Well, you won¡¯t acknowledge me if I only seed once? Now I¡¯m fired up.
However, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be in a somewhat good mood, so maybe he approved of me a little? I thought to myself.
[Now, on to the second semifinal match! The rising star of the new era has already qualified for the finals. The winner of this match will earn the right topete for the top spot against the rising star! Danchok, whonded in prison as a criminal, has crawled his way back up to challenge for the honorable title! However, standing in his way is the undisputed giant star of the Arcane True Zenith School! What will be the oue of this sh?]
I¡¯ve made it to the finals, and soon it¡¯ll be Mr. Machio¡¯s semifinal match.
They were cheering for Mr. Machio, so the sisters didn¡¯te down to celebrate my victory.
But either way, I didn¡¯t want to lose my concentration, so this is fine for now.
I could hardly wait to fight in the finals. I want to show the difference from three months ago soon. My blood was boiling.
Well, the finals won¡¯t be myst...
[Oyah~, Machio and Danchok are talking about something... What was that? Tastes? Whip? Pants...... what are they talking about? I¡¯m not sure what that¡¯s all about, but Danchok is proposing the nature of the match to Machio. However, Machio, who has fought so far in ordance with the rules of his opponent, is reluctant this time...... eh?]
And as always, Mr. Machio. I mean, why don¡¯t you just punch him and get it over with...
¡°Why don¡¯t you ept this match with me, Machio!? You... you, is this... manliness not your type!?¡±
¡°No, why would you decide that?¡±
Eh!?? Huh? No, no, no ... eh?
¡°Tre¡¯ainar... did I hear wrong?¡±
¡ºApologies. I also thought that was an auditory hallucination, but...¡»
What do you mean? You¡¯re fighting, aren¡¯t you? What¡¯s with that kind of development, why did such a conversation start?
¡°L, let¡¯s go.¡±
¡ºU, uh huh!¡»
I was curious about it. I thought I would work on my concentration or meditation until the final, but I was curious about how things were unfolding, so I rushed back to the arena.
Then there was Danchok with a serious look on his face, holding a pair of white pants in his hand and his upper body naked.
¡°Machio. You¡¯re so domineering, muscr, thick, big and robust... popr with everyone! You would be popr with women! But, you are still single despite your age! That means, you¡¯re not interested in women! You must be interested in guys! Isn¡¯t that right?!¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not it at all... what is the logic behind that?¡±
Machio looked unusually stunned and dumbfounded. No, everyone in this ce must have thought that when Mr. Machio¡¯s made his retort.
However, Danchok continued.
¡°Then, Machio. Are you saying there is already a woman in your heart?¡±
¡°Nu...¡±
At that moment, Machio¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly.
And I naturally looked towards Elder Sis Tsukshi who was in the audience.
¡°Eh? Machio... ugh, i, is that so~? Machio has... someone he likes already...¡±
Sure enough, her eyes were moistening with a look full of anxiety and sorrow.
Sadiz and the sisters put their hands on her shoulders, looking worried about Elder Sis Tsukshi.
But as a matter of fact, I was wondering about it too.
Mr. Machio would be quite popr, but why isn¡¯t he married?
Then, Mr. Machio...
¡°I¡¯m... not worthy of being loved by anyone... because in the civil war... with my hands... so many people... my hands are no longer¨D¨D¨D¡±
Sadly, Mr. Machio tried to mutter... at that moment.
¡°You think you¡¯re so cool, Machio Proteen! If you think your hands are dirty, I¡¯m going to kill you myself, you bastard!!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Danchok, who had a decent physique, though not as big as Mr. Machio, punched him in the face with his strong arm.
Rather than avoiding it, it was unavoidable, and it seemed that Mr. Machoi didn¡¯t think he would be attacked, so the reaction was dyed.
¡°Danchok...¡±
And, Mr. Machio was surprised by Danchok, who left him stunned with a slightly swollen cheek where he was hit.
Then, Danchok...
¡°I want to ask you. Once Imitted a crime, I went to prison, my body and mind were broken and defiled... but I finished my sentence and got out... don¡¯t I have the right to be happy?¡±
¡°Wh, what are you...¡±
¡°Answer me!¡±
¡°...... I don¡¯t... think so.¡±
¡°Then what about you? Rather, have you ever been a criminal?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s...¡±
Danchok¡¯s words and questions suddenly spoke of his sins and his past.
Does a criminal have no right to be happy, even if he atones for his crime?
¡°If you, the man that men fall in love with... and who, unlike me, has saved, protected, and smiled at more people than you have killed, still insinuates that you don¡¯t deserve to be loved... then that country should be destroyed.¡±
¡°Danchok...¡±
Weird. Why are you having such a serious conversation while holding white pants in your hand?
However, the atmosphere of the venue was heavy, and no one could get a retort in.
That¡¯s because the people who live in this country have known Mr. Machio for a long time and know him well.
¡°But... I¡¯m...¡±
Even so, Mr. Machio seemed unable to admit it easily.
But then it happened.
¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Machio!!¡±
¡°Huh!? ...... Tsukshi?¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi shouted from the audience.
Shedding tears, she screamed with her emotionsid bare.
¡°We are... what we are today thanks to Mr. Machio! Mr. Machio helped us... and gave us warmth after we lost our parents in the civil war ... taught me the warmth of family... protected us... that Mr. Machio... we are very grateful for his kindness and support!!¡±
Not only Elder Sis Tsukshi, but the sisters around her nodded with smiles, saying that the whole felt the same way.
¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Machio! If you don¡¯t stop that, I¡¯ll never forgive you! Come on, tell him, Amae! You like Mr. Machio, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Un? Un! I love you, uncle!!¡±
¡°Machio, we¡¯re the same! Please think about your own happiness!¡±
¡°Me too! So do the children in the orphanage!¡±
¡°Kora, Machio! You¡¯re big and bold, how long are you going to just sit around!¡±
¡°Machio!¡±
¡°He¡¯s our hero!¡±
The whole venue was united, and shouted their thoughts to one man.
Mr. Machio was confused and dismayed by the words.
¡°Everyone... but...... I¡¯m...¡±
¡°Ha~...... utterly...... pathetic. I chased after such a man¡¯s ass... seriously.¡±
However, it seemed that Mr. Machio couldn¡¯t nod, as if he couldn¡¯t change his mind easily.
Then the exasperated Danchok exhaled a sigh.
¡°Hey, Machio. In this tournament... there seems to be a reason why you can¡¯t lose... but is there something you want from winning?¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°Besides the honor of winning, there is a huge prize money to win... are you trying to buy something you want?¡±
¡°Nu!? ...... wh, what are...¡±
At that moment, Mr. Machio choked on Danchok¡¯s question.
Come to think of it, Mr. Machio told me. ¡°There¡¯s a reason I can¡¯t lose.¡±
I thought that Mr. Machio simply hated losing, but it wasn¡¯t like that.
If Mr. Machio wins, he¡¯ll get Kron as a supplementary prize... but he doesn¡¯t know that.
So, inevitably, what he wants is the prize money.
However, I don¡¯t think Mr. Machio is the type of person who covets money.
And, Elder Sis Tsukshi doesn¡¯t seem to know why Mr. Machio wants money, and she gave him a wondering look.
And then......
¡°I will take any man I desire, even by force. But any man I fall for will be thoroughly investigated and nned for in many ways. You know that? I know that you¡¯ve umted all the money you earn from daybor and other avenues... to purchasend... you¡¯re trying to create a school that everyone can attend for free!¡±
¡°Eh!? Hey, hey... why...¡±
Eh? School? Free? Oh, but then I remembered... before...... Elder Sis Tsukshi...
¨D¨Dwe¡¯re, almost all of us, war orphans... our livelihoodes from church donations, but it¡¯s not like we can afford that much luxury... of course, not everyone¡¯s tuition can be paid... so, at least if only for the future of Karui, who is the second youngest, and Amae, who is the youngest... that¡¯s the way it is.
There were many sisters in the church who were the same age as me. But Karui was the only one who attended the Wizarding School.
Then, Mr. Machio is...
¡°Kuh...¡±
¡°That¡¯s very kind of you.¡±
¡°N, no... It¡¯s just self-satisfaction...¡±
It was no use.
The moment they knew Mr. Machio¡¯s n and his thoughts, which no one knew before, the people in the audience were in tears.
¡°Mr. Machio... such a..... school...¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi, who couldn¡¯t bear it, copsed.
The kindness of Mr. Machio, which should have already been known, exceeded the imagination of Elder Sis Tsukshi, who had known him for a long time.
And.....
¡°Tch, you¡¯ve ruined the mood... Machio ¡°
¡°Danchok...¡±
¡°I¡¯m done. I give up. It¡¯s my loss.¡¯
¡°Eh!?¡±
Danchok said ¡°Good grief¡± and dered his surrender.
¡°I¡¯m not interested in your ass anymore. A soft life surrounded by girls and children would suit you better... don¡¯t be so hard on yourself... make your own wishese true, and I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be happy.¡±
¡°Da, Danchok!¡±
¡°Ciao~!¡±
After making it to the semifinals, Danchok dered that he had no intention of fighting anymore, said what he wanted to say, and then turned his back and walked away.
He raised his hand for thest time, and said goodbye without looking back.
Then, after a while of silence, that even the host was speechless, Elder Sis Tsukshi finally jumped out of the audience because she couldn¡¯t contain herself.
¡°Mr. Machio!¡±
She jumped down, and Elder Sis Tsukshi ran out to Mr. Machio as soon as shended.
Then, without hesitation, she dove into Mr. Machio¡¯s massive chest.
¡°tsu, Tsukshi... w, wait, I¡¯m...¡±
¡°Nuh-uh. I don¡¯t think I can do that anymore~.¡±
¡°Tsukshi...¡±.
¡°No matter what Machio says, I¡¯m not leaving anymore~. If Machio¡¯s hands are dirty and he can¡¯t touch anyone, I¡¯ll go touch him~! I¡¯ve also made up my mind~!¡±
I saw Elder Sis Tsukshi¡¯s tears for the first time, with a smile and powerful resolve towards the one she loved from the bottom of her heart.
¡°Enough, I¡¯m... going to make Machio happy~!¡±
¡°... Tsuk...... shi...¡±.
Mr. Machio also looked very emotional and turned over his depression on the spot.
Elder Sis Tsukshi continued to hug Mr. Machio tightly, and never let go.
Gradually, the audience, which had been quiet, began to shout.
¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Machio! I¡¯ll get angry if it¡¯s not elder sister!¡±
¡°Uncle, Big Sister! Do your best!¡±
¡°Yes, Machio, be happy!¡±
¡°MA-CHI-O! MA-CHI-O! MA-CHI-O!¡±
The words directed at one man. ¡°Be happy¡±. The word echoed forever, and finally Mr. Machio¡¯s eyes were moistening.
A man who was so hard on himself and did not think about his own happiness was loved by so many people who wished for him to be happy.
[What an unexpected turn of events! But the words Danchok left behind were exactly what everyone in this country was thinking! Everyone thinks so! Machio saved my life! Thank you, Machio! That¡¯s why I hope! Now it¡¯s your turn to be happy! In the end of thepetition, it¡¯s not for glory, honor, or money that theypeted with each other in arms! It¡¯s happiness!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±UUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
[An unexpected ending. But the best ending! Thank you, Machio! And be happy! With this, the current Arcane True Zenith Fighting Tournament... huh? What? It feels like we¡¯re forgetting something...]
The host, who had been at a loss for words, finally spoke up, followed by a shout from everyone else.
And so the tournament was...
¡°tsu, WAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIITT! Don¡¯t just end iiiiiiiiiit! The final is not over yet! Me! Me! You haven¡¯t had your match with me yet! I mean, what the hell is going on here!? How¡¯d it turn out like this??!!¡±
[No way... I had forgotten about the final...]
I¡¯m allowed to cry about this, aren¡¯t I? In a different way.
Because just a moment ago, everyone was so excited about me making it to the finals, and now they all realized that they had forgotten about me, and were like, ¡°Oh,e to think of it!¡±
Even Jamdi¡¯el was holding her head, wondering about this unexpected development. Kron, though, was smiling and congratting Mr. Machio and Elder Sis Tsukshi as usual.
At any rate, the final will be held properly... but...... it¡¯s kindaplicated...

Danchok Jahr. It¡¯s......¥ä¥ë(yaru)... as in do it.
And today is the start of October. There¡¯s a tax increase, but I hope I can increase my motivation as well.
Fortunately, the Rugby World Cup is not over yet, and there are 905,000 drills left, so I will still work hard to go beyond the heavens!
Just got through my Anime Picks for Summer 2021. Do check out the ylist and let me know what shows you¡¯re watching from this season.

Chapter 146 ¨C Watch Me

[Eh~, uh~, everyone, umm......... please don¡¯t go home yet! The final isn¡¯t over yet... eh, emm...]
The host, who had been shouting out loud as he wished, was now at a loss for words for the first time.
He seemed shaken up over his blunder of forgetting about the final, even though he was in charge of the tournament.
[Ah~, Machio... um...... is that all right? Are you fine with having the final like this?]
¡°No problem. Or rather, I haven¡¯t had a decent fight yet today.¡±
[I, I see. Then, Tsukushi... I¡¯m sorry, this moment is full of happiness, but...]
¡°Y, yes, th, that¡¯s right! Uh huh...... I¡¯ll have to apologize to Earth... tte, that¡¯s right... in fact, I really must have Earth win the championship.¡±
[O, okay! Well then,dies and gentlemen! Let¡¯s carry on straight to the Finals! It¡¯s a confrontation that is just right for the final, between the Supernova and the Superhuman! So, l, let¡¯s get excited!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±o, ooooooooooh~~~¡±¡±¡±¡±
Somehow, the voices raised from the very audience were very subtle.
To begin with, it seemed that everyone was already satisfied, so to put it bluntly, there was a redundant atmosphere.
Felt like everyone thought ¡°Just give Mr. Machio the victory already¡±.
¡°Th, that... guy...¡±
He was popr with people all over the country. He was also popr with women, loved, supported, and recognized by the entire country.
Mr. Machio was truly a national hero.
On the other hand, what about me?
¡°Hmph. Hmph. Ke, ke, keh! Fine, Mr. Machio. You should be surrounded by everyone, being wowed and flirting. On the other hand, I can¡¯t read the mood, so I don¡¯t care if Mr. Machio loses and the entire country gets depressed!¡±
In the corridor in front of the arena entrance, I was sulking while hitting my fists on the wall.
After all, from the excitement of the semi-finals earlier, I sensed that the whole country was looking forward to Mr. Machio¡¯s victory.
¡ºOi, hold that temper. Do not disrupt your concentration.¡»
¡°Buuuuuut!!¡±
¡ºAh, uh huh... I understand. Hah~, so pitiful...¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was unusually sympathetic to me.
It made me more of a sissy.
But, at the same time, there was something boiling up from inside me.
¡°Keh... fine... doesn¡¯t matter... I¡¯ve acted in response to someone¡¯s support... but I¡¯ve never won because of someone else¡¯s support.¡±
That¡¯s right. In fact, when I was in the Imperial Capital, I regarded the voices around me as nothing more than noise.
So it¡¯s fine.
A total away match?
You can im to bepetent only if you win under such conditions.
¡°I¡¯ll do it, you bastard!¡±
¡ºSomehow, tis truly pitiful...¡»
So I barked.
From the start, I was going to win the tournament. I came with the intention of defeating every opponent.
Rather, I forced myself to think that it would be a blessing in disguise if I could fight to my heart¡¯s content.
¡°Don¡¯t be too cynical. I know you¡¯re all full of emotions towards Machio, but no one will think less of you, let alone wish you to lose.¡±
¡°...... tch... why...¡±
Just then, I heard a familiar voice.
¡°What is it? It seems that the love of Elder Sis Tsukshi, who adores you, ising true, so why don¡¯t you celebrate with everyone in the audience?¡±
¡°What...¡±
¡°Why are you here?¡±
I could tell who it was by just hearing their voice.
When I looked back while clicking my tongue, I found Sadiz there.
¡°That¡¯s...¡±
¡°Well, the whole ce is on Mr. Machio¡¯s side. Do you feel sympathy for me, who was forgotten even in the finals in the first ce? Is it pity? In any case, I¡¯ll do it my own way, so get back to your seat.¡±
Even I understood that I was just venting my anger.
More than anything else, Sadiz showed up when I was already frustrated.
I couldn¡¯t help but take it out on her.
But I couldn¡¯t control the rebellious spirit of ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡± anymore.
Then Sadiz...
¡°Maybe it¡¯s sympathy or... just that...... I genuinely care more for you... than those two.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°I really can¡¯t say. After all, as long as I don¡¯t even know myself yet, it¡¯ll be hard to say anything for sure... but...¡±
As usual, Sadiz was apologetic to me no matter what I said.
And it breaks my heart every time.
How many times have we repeated this over thest three months?
But today, Sadiz prepared in advance and didn¡¯t back off right away, and finally...
¡°GO...¡±
¡°Gou?¡±
Sadiz, started to blush and fidget a bit, which was unusual for her little moody. It¡¯s all too fresh.
But I couldn¡¯t figure out what she was trying to say, so I tilted my head.
Then Sadiz looked up as if he had made up her mind...
¡°GO-GO, Earth GO! FIGHT ON, Earth!¡±
¡°Hmm... wha...¡±
While enduring embarrassment, she shook her pompoms, raised her legs, raised her voice and cheered me on with all her best.
¡°Y, you...¡±
¡°I, I know! You...... you may not like me... and you may find my support annoying... but still...¡±
Sadiz herself doesn¡¯t understand. Why did she have to support me?
However, just like the advance preparation time, I¡¯m sure she couldn¡¯t help but feel that ¡°I have to do something¡±.
¡°I just...I told you, I want to graduate ... so that¡¯s enough.¡±
And I still couldn¡¯t ept it honestly, but I felt a little more rxed about the shamefulness of it all.
So, really, enough was enough.
¡°But... still... if you¡¯re willing to do something about it...¡±
But if I can still hope.
I don¡¯t want to go back to the way it used to be.
How about the boobs, what about our future.
But...... still, the only thing...... I regret.
At that time, just like now...
¨D¨D?Go Go Little man, Go! Lil¡¯ Earth! Go! ?!
There was only one thing I didn¡¯t get, even though she supported me.
¡°At the very least, ¡®this time¡¯ ... please watch through to the end.¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
¡°The power I wield... it¡¯s not about whose technique it was or who I learned it from... it is power that I worked so hard to acquire... so watch me all the way to the end.¡±
At that time, I couldn¡¯t get her to do that.
I just wanted you to see it.
¡°Just watch... and?¡±
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. No more of that ...... stuff...¡±.
¡°?¡±
Sadiz doesn¡¯t remember. She can¡¯t remember. But I still said it.
It¡¯s not that the power I wield is the power of the Great Demon King, or something like that, but more purely I want you to see the power I¡¯ve developed... that this is who I am now.
I left the Imperial Capital and abandoned my old ties.
But, if she¡¯s still getting involved again and I couldn¡¯t shake her off as a hindrance, I¡¯ll tell her that, it would be enough if she would at least do that for me.
[Then, supernova Earth! The chosen man among men, worthy of standing in the finals,e on out!!]
And I¡¯ll finish it.
¡°Watch me properly! Moreover, I¡¯ll get you to recognize me!¡±
It didn¡¯te true in the previous match.
To win the championship. To grasp the glory. To be recognized by everyone.
All of it, now!
¡ºMy oh my, such pestilence. Preparations are in good order, in that case... promptly, go! Knock him down!¡»
¡°Ah!¡±
And finally, my teacher hit my butt, and I ran out.
¡°Let¡¯s gooooooooooooo!!¡±
[O, oooooooooh, Earth, he¡¯s fired up! Hees running, what a shout and! See here¨D¨D¨D¨D]
¡°Right now, let¡¯s get this thing starteeeeeeeeeeed!!¡±
¡°...... eh?¡±
I¡¯ve finallye this far. I yelled as I ran, not to wait any longer.
The host was confused by my words, but Mr. Machio, who had been waiting for me, changed from a while ago, as if he epted my words...
¡°I don¡¯t mind at all! Get to it!¡±
[Eh, hey, Machio!? No, I¡¯ll introduce you both then...]
¡°We¡¯ve already been introduced enough. From here on out, it¡¯s not words ... but power!¡±
I was relieved to hear Mr. Machio¡¯s words.
Apparently, he flipped a switch.
¡°I¡¯m d! I wondered what I would do if you were too full of happiness to be up for it. Now then, I¡¯ll just beat you up, Mr. Machio!¡±
¡°Huh,e on! Now let¡¯s fulfill the promise we made three months ago!¡±
The host¡¯s words won¡¯t stop us anymore.
We let ourselves get carried away.
It seemed that neither the host nor the audience could keep up with the fact that we can start without any preparation, but it didn¡¯t matter.
I¡¯ll show them. It¡¯s not just Sadiz.
I¡¯ll show everyone here who have only be interested in Mr. Machio.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Super Evolution ? Breakthrough¡¿!!¡±
Wait and see? Strategy? There¡¯s no need for any of that anymore.
¡°Everyone, watch meeeeeeeeeee!!¡±
I had already warmed up for the final.
Everything was for this moment.
Author¡¯s Note
Forty chapters to get here from the battle three months ago. Although it was updated every day, it took more than a month in reality, but it is finally here. That was long......
Chapter 147 – Shockwave
Chapter 147 ¨C Shockwave
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°What? A breakthrough, all of a sudden? Although thou has grown in thest three months, thy magical capacity should not have increased so greatly! Does thou intend to have a short-term battle? Thy opponent is the toughest Machio.¡±
A breakthrough from the very beginning would be taken as an unexpected tactic for Jamdi¡¯el, who knows this power.
Itsted about 100 seconds as of three months ago.
Then, she couldn¡¯t help wondering if I was aiming to defeat Mr. Machio in under 100 seconds.
¡°Hahaha... how. Suddenly, I was wondering what was going on... you can use the same breakthrough as the master... I never thought you could use such a thing... interesting! Come on, Earth!¡±
Mr. Machio is not a guy who uses steps or quick movements to evade the opponent¡¯s attack.
For some reason, he seemed to think that it¡¯s a matter of pride to take all of his opponent¡¯s attacks, and this time he was willing to take all my attacks.
But, it would still be difficult to defeat Mr. Machio in 100 seconds.
Well, if I use the Great Magic Spiral, it would be a different story, but... then it would be boring!
I also talked to Tre¡¯ainar many times. Winning the championship is a challenge. That¡¯s why I¡¯m so particr about how I win.
It would be a waste to finish it with a single big move against such a good opponent.
So, I¡¯ll release it all.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Mr. Machio!¡±
First, lefts from the breakthrough state.
But, it¡¯s not just the left anymore.
¡°Hehe!¡±
¡°Nuh? He... stopped? Why all the way there...¡±
After running in, and suddenly using the breakthrough, we would get into a fistfight like this... is what he would have thought.
But, I stopped with a certain distance between us.
Of course, my punches won¡¯t reach from here... normally, they wouldn¡¯t.
But......
¡°Mr. Machio. Have you ever been hit with a flying punch?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The jab I¡¯ve trained is fast, but... with the breakthrough, it exceeds the speed of sound! This is my... evolved left!!¡±
I struck my jab on the spot.
My jab, which was further enhanced by the breakthrough, no longer needed to hit with my fist.
¡°Nogu!? Nu... What?¡±
[Hey, wh, what was that!? The moment Earth threw a punch from that position, something like a fist clump caught Machio in the face at a distance, making him bounce up!?]
For a moment, no one could tell what had happened.
I had never shown my long-distance attack before, and the audience, which had been in a delicate mood, started buzzing.
¡°Hey, what did he just do!?¡±
¡°He made a punching motion, and Machio took damage...¡±
¡°No way, was it magic!?¡±
¡°Must be! His body is cloaked with magic power.... he used magic!¡±
I chuckled at the reaction.
Certainly, I¡¯m using magic.
But, it¡¯s not magic that¡¯s attacking.
¡°Oh, did thou raise thy fist to that level...¡±
¡°Wow~, that¡¯s amazing! Jamdi¡¯el, is Earth using magic?¡±
¡°No, Lady Kron. He wears magic, but Earth Lagann does not attack with magic.¡±
¡°Hmm? What do you mean?¡±
¡°Fufufufu, my Heraldic Eyes see through everything... he¡¯s simply... hitting Machio with a shock wave generated by a supersonic punch.¡±
¡°Supersonic? Shockwave? Is it?¡±
¡°Yes. That is... a ¡®Sonic Boom¡¯!¡±
It appeared only Jamdi¡¯el had seen through my attack.
She had a smiling expression and looked to be enjoying herself.
But this was not enough to surprise her yet.
¡°Earth... right now...¡±
¡°It¡¯s a fist shockwave¡±
¡°Shock...?¡±
¡°I only hit it.¡±
The process is simple. Just thrust out a fist so fast, it hits your opponent with the shockwave.
¡°Ju, just hit it... s, so simple and you justid out the whole thing.¡±
Mr. Machio didn¡¯t take any damage with just one shot, but he seemed a little surprised by my simple exnation of the technique.
But that didn¡¯t matter to me.
¡°Hahaha. That¡¯s right. Easy. In short, it¡¯s just a jab.¡±
¡°...... Ah...¡±
¡°I attack with my left jab... so what if you know that?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Because, although my technique has a principle, it doesn¡¯t have a trick.
Mr. Machio seemed to have understood this.
¡°Continuous hits!¡±
¡°Nu, Gu, th, this!?¡±
And I hit the jab again and sent shockwaves through the air.
[Wh, whooooa, a, amazing! Th, the lefts are too fast already... I can only tell that the air bursts over and over and hits Machio! Machio is on the defensive!]
Just like you can¡¯t easily avoid my left jab even if you know it¡¯sing, because there¡¯s no specific countermeasure for this.
¡°I see. That¡¯s why the breakthrough. A flesh and blood human being hitting it cannot withstand the punch which creates the shockwave at the sound speed within their body. Back muscles and arm muscles. However, by using the magic of the Breakthrough to strengthen and protect the body at the same time, one can eliminate damage to their body and fire shockwaves repeatedly until the magic power runs out.¡±
¡°Oh, I see, yes! Anyway, Earth is amazing!¡±
When Tre¡¯ainar suggested developing a special technique, I came up with an attack from a distance.
Because although I was able to fight in close quarters with my fists, I couldn¡¯t attack a distant opponent.
I could have fought by getting closer with the steps, but I wanted other options.
Most of the guys I¡¯ve fought so far are the ones who ept a fistfight with me.
The only one who used their feet to fight me was Shinobu.
In a way, I could use magic too, but only to the extent that academy students could.
A long-range attack with the confidence of a fist. When I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I should just let my fists fly.
¡°Fufufufu, thou cannot use this technique without the breakthrough. In other words, while in the breakthrough state, thou can use this technique indefinitely.¡±
Yes, three months ago, even if I had mastered this technique, I would have only been able to use it for 100 seconds.
However, I don¡¯t have that either now.
Not even Jamdi¡¯el knew about that yet.
¡°Hey, that¡¯s amazing! Earth... Not only the breakthrough, but such attacks too!?¡±
¡°Ugh, u, uncle... older brother... who to cheer...... ugh~¡±
¡°Wow...... that¡¯s really cool... big brother, had such a skill...¡±
It seemed I¡¯ve managed to make them forget about the earlier interaction between Mr. Machio, Elder sis Tsukshi and that pervert, at least a little bit.
The sisters and other guys were amazed with their mouths open.
¡°Hey, Machio! You¡¯re at a disadvantage from that position!¡±
¡°Yes! Don¡¯t just stand there, get close and catch him!¡±
¡°Oh, go! Machio!¡±
But either way, the crowd was impatient and raised their voice to Mr. Machio, who had not moved a single step since the start of the match.
However, Mr. Machio probably understood that he could not do it as things were.
But......
¡°Th, the audience ... I wonder if they¡¯re too unreasonable...¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, sister. In the first ce, even if you can withstand that shockwave and jump at him, how do you catch big brother... the guy uses high-speed steps...¡±
Mr. Machio would not jump in carelessly.
After all, he seemed to realize.
Even if he endured my attacks and jumped in, he couldn¡¯t catch me.
Well, hypothetically...
¡ºYes. The current child is at a level enough topletely defeat the fiercest of martial arts with only his left hand. In addition to jabs, he has not only jabs, but also screws, smashes, counters and other fists with great destructive power. Closebat is not his weakness, but rather his specialty. In other words, the child can handle all short, middle and long range fights when in the breakthrough state. Tis truly a form of ...... the generalist that can fight all aspects of battle.¡»
That¡¯s it. If he wants toe, he cane. At that time, I would just hit him directly with my fist.
This is my new power.
My original technique.
It¡¯s the ¡¾Certain Death?Illumination Magic sh Brilliant Sky Wave Shock Dragon King¡¯s Fist¡¿!
And the form of this technique is ¡°more than just a jab¡±.
¡°Hmm. There are plenty in the world who shoot flying shes, make full use of wind magic, and unleash super-powered sonic booms... well... although it is a mon¡¯ technique... with just a fist... moreover, not many could release it with just one jab. Oh, my dear, Earth Lagann!¡±
¡°¡±??¡±¡±
At that time, even though it was the middle of the match, for the first time today, Jamdi¡¯el shouted ¡°my my¡± in a good mood from the special guest seat.
¡°O inheritor of the Great Demon. In the name of the Arcane True Zenith Style Master... I christen this technique the ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh? ...... eh?¡±
Eh? That woman, how would she know to reach that conclusion?
Mostly, my skill is the Illumination Magic sh Brilliant Sky Wave Shock Dragon King¡¯s Fist.
And yet, why would she...
¡°Sonic Jab?¡±
¡°That is called a sonic jab?!¡±
¡°Good Goddess, Sonic Jab!¡±
¡°It¡¯s a great demon sonic jab!¡±
...... hold on!?
¡°Eh, eeeeeeeeeeeehh!? Why!? It¡¯s my special move, and you just decided to name it as you please!?¡±
No, no, no no way, the technique I¡¯ve worked so hard to develop, why are these guys on their own ord...
¡ºSince my reunion with Jamdi¡¯el, I once again realize what a real piece of work he is. ...... it has nothing to do with dragons, so why did you add ¡°Dragon King¡± in there...¡»
And even Tre¡¯ainar was nodding his head.
Why not? The Dragon King sounds cool!
Every single one of them, why do they have to ruin my extensive vocabry and naming sense with their ...... don¡¯t screw with me!
¡°Screw it! In that case, with this...¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±That stance!¡±¡±¡±¡±
The next moment. I changed my stance.
That¡¯s another stance I¡¯m good at.
The Flicker.
¡°What do you think would happen if I released the flicker in this state? It creates a constant barrage of whip-like shockwaves! Yes, this is my ¡¾Super Magic sh¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±N, no way... the ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡ºTo the audience, well done!¡»
I mean, they¡¯ve taken the liberty of naming my technique again!?
I¡¯ve been up all night trying to think of a name for it!
That woman... that woman!
¡°What? It can¡¯t be... not just jabs... but also shock waves of different shapes and power, depending on the type of ...... punch...... hmm? However...... wait a moment...¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°...... Before that... it¡¯s about time he ran out of magic.¡±
However, Jamdi¡¯el was seriously surprised by me after this.
Yes, this is still only the beginning.
As I decided, I¡¯ll show you everything.
Chapter 148 – Beginning to Lift the Veil
Chapter 148 ¨C Beginning to Lift the Veil
Tranted by: Sads07
Jamdi¡¯el seemed a little bit concerned about what to do from here.
¡°With his magic capacity, it should be about time... what will thou do once thy magic power runs out?¡±
No matter how many shock waves were fired, it was still a jab.
Mr. Machio couldn¡¯t dodge them, but he didn¡¯t suffer any serious damage either.
He seemed to be holding his ground, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
But......
¡°¡±¡±¡±Too awesome! That¡¯s the ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Guh, th, these guys... fine, already! ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡ºUh huh uh huh, that will do.¡»
My special technique was named without permission, and I felt reluctant about shouting out any other moves from now on.
¡°tte, this is... quite something. A long distance flicker that is hard to avoid...¡±
For the time being, I¡¯ll leave the name of the technique aside, but the whip-like shockwave released from flicker carved into Mr. Machio¡¯s steel muscles from the surface.
Although......
¡°This won¡¯t do... although it is a left, this shockwave is not half bad... the impact doesn¡¯t just affect the surface of the body, but also resonates to the inner core...¡±
A normal guy might be finished after one shot, but Mr. Machio is not normal.
He smiled while enduring.
¡°Originally, I was aiming to strike once you¡¯re tired or out of magic, but ... let¡¯s jump in!¡±
¡°Whoa...¡±
¡°I can¡¯t catch you at my own speed, but... I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any way out of this if I just stay idle!¡±
Mr. Machio rushed in regardless of the shockwave.
¡°Ke, can you bear it~?¡±
¡°Nu, uu, Nuuuu!!¡±
So I¡¯ll raise the gear further. A barrage of left strikes concentrated on Mr. Machio.
In addition......
¡°A twisted corkscrew. Exactly, the sonic boom that is created is...¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±It¡¯s the ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Screw¡¿!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°You bastards! Stop naming someone else¡¯s skill as you like!¡±
¡ºApparently, the people of this country have decent sensibilities.¡»
With just a corkscrew blow, a rotating swirl shockwave was sent flying.
¡°Yes, ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Screw¡¿!!¡±
¡°Uo, o! This is?!¡±
Its power is enough to knock back the stout Mr. Machio.
Hey hey, what would happen if I used the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿?
[Wh, Ma, Machio was blown away!? I¡¯ve never seen anything like this before, including spar! What power, the ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Screw¡¿!]
As the host said, I¡¯m surprised, too.
The more I understood the power of the technique in actualbat, the more the name of the technique faded away.
For now, I¡¯m just excited about the results I could achieve.
¡°Hmm... I don¡¯t remember ever being blown away this far... it¡¯s impressive.¡±
¡°Hehe, thanks.¡±
Mr. Machio froze after suddenly crashing into the wall. His face was swollen, but he had a bitter smile while his nose bled.
However, he quickly tightened his expression again.
¡°Then, so I don¡¯t get pushed back this time ... I have to endure it properly.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
For the first time, Mr. Machio, who had been going hand-to-hand and no guard until now, lowered his hips deeply and took a stance.
His appearance was like a quadruped beast trying to pounce on its prey, with the intention to jump straight.
¡°Hnnnn!!¡±
In addition, every muscle in his body was straining, erging, and hardening his body like arge rock.
So you¡¯re trying to ram me with that.
¡°There¡¯s nothing ingenious about it. It¡¯s just the ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Tackle¡¿.¡±
¡°Eh... you¡¯re gonna say it before you do it.¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯m clumsy, so I don¡¯t y around. I can only win if I hit you.¡±
It¡¯s simple, and he¡¯s not lying.
Mr. Machio really felt like he¡¯s going to lower his hips and push straight ahead.
However, Mr. Machio¡¯s deration, though not a strategy, seemed to be testing me out.
If I knew you¡¯re going to rush in from the beginning, I can avoid it lightly with my eyes, reaction speed, and steps, but...
¡°Bring it on!¡±
I dared to stop and hold my body leaning forward, so I could ept it.
¡°Th, this is! Is Earth going to hunker down and take the attack?! Are you going to have a power match against Machio?¡±
Yes, it¡¯s a match. Take it and stand!
¡°And now is the time for this sleeping power to awaken! This right, forbidden and sealed by God¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª.¡±
¡ºChild, you cur... do you consider that stylish?¡»
¡°A, a... anyway, I¡¯ll lift the ban! On the right!¡±
¡ºHah~... such a difficult age...¡»
Yes, it¡¯s the right that I haven¡¯t used today.
¡°Fufu, I¡¯m ttered. Earth.¡±
Mr. Machio seemed to be a little pleased with my words.
I¡¯m facing such Mr. Machio.
¡°Su~, fuu~!¡±
The magic that was about to run out was taken in from the air through the magic hole of the entire body.
¡°What!? Ah... Are you!? I, it can¡¯t be... surely not!!¡±
At that moment, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s astonished voice echoed from the guest seat, but before everyone¡¯s attention could be drawn to it, Mr. Machio jumped out.
¡°Here Ie! ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Tackle¡¿!!¡±
From the front, it¡¯s like a huge iron ball jumping at me.
Because Mr. Machio was heavy, his left and right movements had a weak impression.
However, since the lower half of the body was trained, the instantaneous forward dash wasunched from his strong legs and waist was fast.
But......
¡°Here!!¡±
Lifting the ban on the right.
I put all my strength into my right fist and threw myself out, a full swing with all my power and weight!
Like when I fought Toulowe three months ago.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Jolt¡¿!!¡±
A shockwave that seemed to be a counter to the oing opponent.
He endured, and as he moved forward no matter what, I met the tackle of Mr. Machio, who was in full momentum, from the front.
¡°No, uoh, ooh!? This is!?¡±
No matter how big Mr. Machio was, his weight was that of a human after all.
He got blown away easily, prating the wall, and flew to the back room of the arena.
[Ah... overwhelming! Hey, who would have predicted such a development!? Machio, who was said to be the strongest of the Arcane True Zenith, was blown away by the Supernova Earth without even touching him! Everyone has forgotten how to cheer and is just stunned!]
Yes, by blowing Mr. Machio away, the whole venue went silent.
¡°Ma, Machio is...¡±
¡°Uncle... went somewhere.¡±
¡°t, tse~...¡±
Even those who could speak up seem to be confused.
Literally, I silenced all the noisy guys.
Well, there¡¯s only one person making a lot of noise...
¡°Haha., Fufufu, hahahahaha! Kukuku, could it be, could it be... surely! Thou has been able to do it! Even I have not mastered the ¡¾Magical Breathing¡¿! Aha, ha, uhi, hiha, hihahahahaha!¡±
The High Priestess, who should have both beauty and sanctity, was now screaming like a crazy woman.
¡°Hmm~, Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°Haha, I¡¯m sorry, I was distraught, Lady Kron. Fufu, however...... this is a bit of a situation... Fufufufu, what can I do?¡±
¡°? ¡°
¡°My n... was to raise the god to be born between Lady Kron and Earth Lagann, and when the time is right, that god and I will mingle to give birth... of god, human, and seraph, all a n to create the ¡®True God¡¯ thatbines the blood of all... hahaha! But I want it! I want it now! Absolutely...... Absolutely!¡±
...... For now, let¡¯s leave that tillter. No but...... is it possible that things are settled with this?
¡°Hmm~, by the way, Jamdi¡¯el. Isn¡¯t this a victory for Earth? May I go and congratte Earth for winning?¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah, about that...¡±
However, although she made a strange voice and went crazy for a moment, Jamdi¡¯el quickly calmed down in response to Kron¡¯s question....
¡°This is a ¡®not yet¡¯.¡±
¡°Ara, is that right?¡±
¡°Indeed. Had he used the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, you might have been enough to end it, but... he gave Machio a considerably powerful attack halfway through. So, it will take a little longer.¡±
It was then.
¡°Amazing...¡±
From beyond the prated wall, Mr. Machio¡¯s voice praised me in a calm voice.
¡°My own body is unusually hot and boiling... perhaps after such a long time, I feel like I¡¯m getting stronger, so my body and mind are excited and pleased.¡±
There was a response. No matter how much Mr. Machio was, he should have taken a lot of damage.
Besides, he should have been suitably bewildered by my technique.
In spite of this, I felt somewhat calm or rxed.
And......
¡°Ah, well... Mr. Machio!? tsu...... don¡¯t look Amae!¡±
¡°Heugh!?¡±
¡°Uh, wow... th, that Machio. I¡¯ve never seen Machio so full of injuries before.¡±
From behind the wall with arge hole, Mr. Machio slowly returned to the arena.
However, his whole body was swollen all over, his skin shredded as if cut by a sword, and his face cruelly disfigured.
Lacerations, broken bones, bruises, you don¡¯t need to be a doctor to know that he was badly injured.
¡°Because it¡¯s Mr. Machio, I attacked with all my might, but...... let¡¯s call it a day.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°So no more... ¡®unfortunate idents¡¯ will happen.¡±
¡°Fufufufu... I see.¡±
Seeing Mr. Machio, I also rxed my fighting pose and suggested we end it here.
Mr. Machio came back looking unconcerned, but from here onward, it will go beyond the realm of a ¡°match¡±.
As expected, we can¡¯t show any more than this in front of Elder Sis Tsukshi.
With that in mind, I gave my suggestion.
But......
¡°Certainly, if you had attacked with ¡®more¡¯ power, I might have lost. But with your attack now, you will have to fight me with ¡®more¡¯ attack power from now on.¡±
¡°What?¡±
I didn¡¯t understand what he was talking about. Is Mr. Machio trying to riddle me?
Then Mr. Machio smiled at me with his battered body...
¡°Thank you, Earth. You were really strong. That¡¯s why I can be even stronger.¡±
Then it was then.
¡°Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!¡±
¡°...... eh? Wh, what!?¡±
Mr. Machio began to scream. Then, there was a change in Mr. Machio¡¯s body.
The wounds on his torn skin are gradually closed, the swelling is reduced, and even the bones that seem to have been broken were being restored... Healing magic?
No, it¡¯s not just healing.
¡ºAh... that!!!!¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar who was beside me raised an unusually surprised voice.
Hey, hey hey, what do you mean?
¡ºOh, that... there is no doubt ...recovery far beyond ¡®super recovery¡¯...... ¡®Super Magic Recovery¡¯!?¡»
Super recovery? And it sounds like a more awesome name than that, but what about it?
¡ºStructure of the human body... applying a load to the body through strength training, and so on, results in a temporary decline due to damage to muscle fiber damage and fatigue umtion, but by taking appropriate rest, it leads to greater muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy than before due to the recoil of recovery... tis called it Super Recovery.¡»
I had heard about that before. However, what was happening to Mr. Machio did not seem to be such amon matter.
¡ºBut there are people in the world with a unique constitution... those who intentionally control and activate cells through the body without the need for rest, regenerate and restore the body and bones at super-speed, and gain more power than before.¡»
¡°Wh... at?¡±
¡ºAnd tis not just about training. If you fracture, it will regenerate into a stronger and more resilient bone than before, and if you take damage in battle, it will make your body more resilient.¡»
Even if you take damage, it will regenerate and recover at super speed, and even be stronger than before?
What¡¯s with that ridiculous constitution!?
¡ºBut tis too rare a constitution. In fact, I have note across many with such a constitution. Thest one I know of was ¡®Gouda¡¯, one of my Six Supremacy. And...... tis the first time I am seeing it in a human being.¡»
Even Tre¡¯ainar was astonished by Machio¡¯s constitution.
And while I was surprised to hear about it...
¡°Now, let¡¯s fight more than ever... Earth.¡±
Mr. Machio was back to... no, he had a stronger body and appeared before me again.
¡°Super Magic Recovery... in other words, every time he is attacked and takes damage, he will be stronger and more resilient.¡±
¡°Ara, Machio¡¯s injuries have healed~!¡±
¡°Behold, Lady Kron. That is the constitution of Machio. And that is why he trains to the point of breaking down every day, and why he doesn¡¯t evade attacks when he spars and the like. It is all... to be stronger.¡±
Atst, it seemed that Mr. Machio was beginning to lift the veil.
I was surprised, but at the same time, I was even more enthusiastic, thinking, ¡°That¡¯s the way it has to be¡±.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your support. Finally, the overall evaluation exceeded 96,000 drills.
Only 904,000 drills remaining to the target.
As soon as possible, I would like to cut it down to get closer to the heavens.
In addition, yesterday I got a spirit called a review.
I¡¯m really d that many people have seen it.

Chapter 151 ¨C Art
Tranted by: Sads07
Sure enough, Mr. Machio¡¯s breath was rising.
He was constantly moving his heavy, unbnced body with all his might, without pacing himself.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Elbow¡¿!¡±
Mr. Machio may also be gradually losing hisposure.
The assembly of the attack was falling apart.
He¡¯s reckless.
That¡¯s why he could swing it around.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Medu Oblongata Kick¡¿!¡±
Rather than using my feet to stay out of Mr. Machio¡¯s reach, I dare to wander at a distance that Mr. Machio could reach me.
That way, Mr. Machio will inevitably move his body in an attempt to catch me.
¡°Machio, go! Not again!¡±
¡°Yes, a little more... wow, that was paper-thin! Ah!¡±
¡°It¡¯s so close that I¡¯m scared just looking at it.¡±
The audience cheered as usual.
There¡¯s only so many people in this situation that I knew what I was aiming for.
¡°A, amazing... it¡¯s my first time... seeing Machio like that...¡±
¡°He¡¯spletely swallowed up by big brother¡¯s pace...¡±
Elder sis Tsukshi and Karui... and......
¡°Machio¡¯s fighting style is basically passive. A waiting style. After letting the opponent hit you, you then reciprocate with a single counterattack to finish him off. However...... now he himself is attacking like that, swinging my limbs around... he seems to havepletely lost himself.¡±
She... Sadiz... even if she doesn¡¯t remember, she understood the battle situation.
And that fellow in the guest seat.
¡°Impossible... more maneuvers and techniques that surpasses even Wacha... and with that dynamic vision and footwork, even the Breakthrough... thy concentration is also increasing. Furthermore, the breakthrough remains uninterrupted by Magical Breathing. With Machio as he is...¡±
¡°Ha~, is that so? Then, will it be Earth¡¯s victory?¡±
¡°Hmm... what will happen?¡±
However, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s appearance from here seemed calm as she watched the fight, unlike the excited and frenzied appearance from a little while ago.
From the looks of it, I can¡¯t help but think that ¡°there is still something¡±.
Of course, I don¡¯t think that everything would go my way, but I was confident that I could do what I needed to do ...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Double Lariat¡¿! ...... kara!¡±
At that moment, I could instantly understand what Mr. Machio was trying to do.
A punch that spins around on the spot called a Lariat.
Originally, it would be a technique to blow away surrounding opponents.
However, Mr. Machio had another goal in mind.
Spin around and elerate, and using that centrifugal force...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Straight¡¿!!¡±
A straight right punch that threw the whole body forward.
A punch with the power of the entire body behind it.
If it hits, there wouldn¡¯t be a single lump.
I could see that he was ¡°inviting the counter¡± to this.
Then......
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Cross Counter¡¿!¡±
¡°Here it is!¡±
Stabbing each other with a left cross counter at the speed of sound. I should be faster.
Naturally, because Mr. Machio also read this, so here...
¡°Unuuooooh!¡±
¡°............¡±
Mr. Machio changed the trajectory of the straight punch which recoiled with so much centrifugal force.
He stopped his fist and jumped up my crossed arms, making the muscles in his arms bulge.
Naturally, if such a sudden stop is made, the muscles and nerves of Mr. Machio¡¯s arm would have been torn to shreds.
But even so, Mr. Machio stopped.
This was the first defense that Mr. Machio, who had been on the receiving end of all of his opponent¡¯s attacks, had shown. His first technique.
Well, it was the same counter break as Wacha.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Cross Counter Return¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡± Machio... does such a technique!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Of course, for those who knew him, it¡¯s probably the first time they¡¯re seeing that Mr. Machio.
A style different from the Mr. Machio they¡¯ve seen before.
But in exchange for that...
¡°Uoooooh!¡±
My face was defenseless, and a reversal of the left... my left arm was thoroughly hit by a gargantuan strike.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Double Cross-Coun¨C¡°
Cross-counter return counter.
Mr. Machio was trying to hit me with a double cross counter.
Thanks to my predictable move, I was preparing on the right...
¡°Got him!¡±
I cut him down.
At that moment, there was a sh of light and...
¡°Ma... Machio...¡±
¡°Eh? No...... eh? What...... Ms. Sadiz, did you get it?¡±
¡°...... If...... if all of this wasn¡¯t a coincidence, but something he aimed for... it¡¯s horrifying...¡±
A venue had quieted down in an instant.
There was Mr. Machio, crawling in the arena.
[Wh... eh? W.... wh.... what happened!? M, Machio just broke Earth¡¯s counter and on his counter, why did Machio fall down there... did he fail!? No, I¡¯m sorry! M, my eyes were open, but I couldn¡¯t see it!!]
That¡¯s right. How many people could understand this situation?
¡°Fool... there is no way you can win by having counter match against a counter-user. Had thou loseposure such extent? Machio? But Earth Lagann is here as well... kuku... I, truly am shocked at the moment...¡±
¡°Um~...... Jamdi¡¯el... w, what just happened?¡±
¡°Err... it is art.¡±
Maybe over there...
¡ºN, nicely... ha!? E, erm, t, tis pasable, uh huh, as one would expect of my disciple. I shall praise you now, hmm. Although tis against a sluggish opponent, I never ... not a phantom punch... but a sessful ¡¾Great Demon Triple Cross Counter¡¿!¡»
To that extent? Hmm? I mean, what¡¯s with this guy doing a guts pose for a moment?
Anyway, yes. Triple cross.
Mr. Machio invited my counter, broke the cross counter, and then he countered me with a double cross, and I counter his double cross.
Indeed, you can¡¯t do it without extreme concentration, and it¡¯s impossible to be told to do it again under normal conditions.
That was the level of response I had.
¡°How¡¯s it going? Mr. Machio.¡±
Even if it was just a counter that uses the opponent¡¯s attack, I did it against Mr. Machio¡¯s power.
The sharpness was...
¡°Ah... ka...¡±
It was so powerful that it was like waking up from a reverse shock.
I think he was definitely unconscious for a moment, but Mr. Machio woke up, crawling.
¡°Uo... ka... ah...¡±
This was more of a shock than damage or destructive force.
Punching out the jaw and shaking the brain...
¡°Guh... no...... no more...... ka, tricks...¡±
What? Hey, wait a minute. oh...... are you gonna get up?
¡°Mr. Machio... you...¡±
¡°...... my jaw... fuh~...¡±
Not only did you not lose consciousness, but will this still happen?
It can¡¯t be... he should have been struck out... it¡¯s not at that level of him being used to pain.
I¡¯m sure I hit my best shot with the greatest strength.
¡°Oh, geh... be... ugh...¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Then, Mr. Machio, who tried to stand up, spit out arge amount of blood from the mouth, which was not able to speak well.
¡°Hi?! Mr. Machio!?¡±
¡°Ie... Amae... wooaah, he¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°!? I can¡¯t see! Hey, what¡¯s wrong, uncle? Older brother!?¡±
¡°That amount... surely... the tongue?¡±
The jaw was certainly shattered. It¡¯s not strange to spit blood out, but I felt like it was a little bit much.
But I knew immediately.
¡°This guy... you had your tongue in your teeth.¡±
Mr. Machio tried to release the counter against the counter breaking, so he stuck his tongue between his teeth in case something should happen.
Then, Mr. Machio¡¯s tongue now is... I don¡¯t even want to imagine... I¡¯ve never done that before.
He didn¡¯t clench his teeth, but his tongue...
¡°Was... ... different...... than expected. I...... took... a bit...... more of...... a risk...... ka. didn¡¯t I...¡±
And, Mr. Machio, who stood up, was quietly hanging down, but slowly raised his face.
¡°...... Fuh~...... I won¡¯t let you down... to be able topete with your Breakthrough... I also...... I wanted to respond, Earth.¡±
The broken jaw and the wound on the tongue, which was almost bitten off, were gradually closing...
¡°Let me show you... the speed and power pushed beyond my limits... ¡®Super Pump Up¡¯!¡±
And the moment Mr. Machio said that, I heard Tre¡¯ainar murmur, ¡°just as I thought...¡±
Author¡¯s Note
Yesterday, the Japanese national team did it again! The battle of the elliptical ball was fired up after all.
Rugby passes are also screw passes. Screw...... drill...... no, that¡¯s hot!
In addition, thank you for the many drill evaluations.
No, it was really encouraging.
In addition, I was injected with two wonderful spirits called reviews.
Thank you very much.
Please continue to mercilessly screw it in and pierce it!
Chapter 152 – Techniques to Never Use Again
Chapter 152 ¨C Techniques to Never Use Again
Tranted by: Sads07
¡°Pump up? What is that? Do you still have another hand, Mr. Machio?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not really another hand, but a technique I didn¡¯t want to use if possible. It would put me in danger.¡±
¡°Hoho¡±
¡°But, I knew that if I didn¡¯t, you¡¯d be out of my reach and I¡¯d end up a disappointment.¡±
¡°No... I think you¡¯re splendid enough...¡±
Although I pointed out his weaknesses, Mr. Machio was still strong enough to boast that much skill and that much power.
¡°It¡¯s risky and... I can¡¯t help but be reminded of the past... so...... I didn¡¯t want to show it to Tsukshi... but right now, it¡¯s more important to respond to you.¡±
But that¡¯s not the end of it.
Not yet, Mr. Machio still had more to give, and I understood that he wasn¡¯t bluffing.
¡°My Super Magic Recovery... if applied, could enable muscle control... and eventually allow increased blood production and blood flow control.¡±
¡°...... What?¡±
¡°Earth. If you are the one who reached the Breakthrough by the depths of the magic path... then me... I¡¯ll show you the potential of the human body.¡±
With that said, Mr. Machio held his breath and strained his whole body so that every blood vessel in his entire body was visible.
¡°Earth. Human beings usually use only 20 to 30 percent of their power. There is a limiter on it.¡±
His teeth were clenched iparably to the men who boasted of their muscles in the dojo, and his face was so red that it seemed that the blood vessels in his head would burst.
¡°I understood when I saw it... very likely...... thatd, Jos¨¦, forced it with medicine... however...... I...by my own power- ¨C ¡°
¡°I don¡¯t... oh...... ooh...¡±
¡°Physical strength... power...... speed...... this is my all right now! Earth!!!!!¡±
Then, Mr. Machio barked, the air trembled, and at the same time, a fierce dash... so fast!!
¡°Uoooooh, oooooooh! Ouooooooooooh!!!!¡±
¡°Ugh, guh, wh, hold on!?¡±
Mr. Machio, who always wore a calm and mature atmosphere, raged violently like a fierce beast that couldn¡¯t contain its excitement.
He brandished his arms, brandished his legs, and sometimes tried to tear me with his hands.
The attack was a big swing, so if you could anticipate it, you could avoid it... but...... it¡¯s much fasterpared to before.
I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Machio to be able to achieve such speed while his body was out of bnce.
Besides......
¡°Let¡¯s ruuuuuuuuuun!!¡±
¡°... tch!¡±
Mr. Machio was bigger than me and had a longer stride. That¡¯s why my step was different from Mr. Machio¡¯s.
Mr. Machio was speeding up, so I had to go around him.
¡°Uooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
¡°Hey, calm down a little!?¡±
No, it doesn¡¯t seem to be subsiding at all.
Your eyes are no longer sane, are they?
¡°Sister... that¡¯s...¡±
¡°Yes. That figure... I¡¯m sure. During the civil war... when surrounded by the Old Kingdom forces... Mr. Machio...¡±
¡°But I¡¯m sure that power came from... his heart...¡±
¡°Yes... please stop! Mr. Machio! Hey!¡±
What? Elder Sis Tsukshi was screaming, but is she stopping Mr. Machio?
Worried about me? No. That expression, rather it¡¯s about Mr. Machio himself... what? From the movement of the mouth, it looked like she¡¯s... H?AR?T
Oh no, in my current state of extreme concentration, I could tell from the movement of the mouth of a person in a ce so far away...hmm?
¡°If he uses that technique for too long... Machio will die!!¡±
Eh......? Now...... Elder Sis Tsukshi... die? He¡¯s gonna die...? Will Mr. Machio die if this continues?
¡°Haaaaaaah!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Careless! Idiot, what am I doing... I shouldn¡¯t be so careless against Mr. Machio...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Body Upper¡¿!!¡±
¡°Uboh!? Gah...¡±
That went through my torso ... what... with only the arm strength of the hand-strike, my body waspletely bent at the spine!
[He caught hiiiiiiim! Atst, the serious Machio is finally unleashed, and Machio¡¯s strong arm strikes out at Earth¡¯s body! This is intense!]
Not good, numb... feet...... move...
¡°Uohoooooh ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Knuckle Arrow¡¿!¡±
¡°...tch! Damn!¡±
Not good, punch to the face... unavoidable...... in that case!
[Ah, Machio¡¯s face punch hit Earth! Earth¡¯s neck is fully... hmm? Huh? No...... this is!?]
If the feet can¡¯t move, parry with a neck twist.
¡°Earth!? ...... Oh, that¡¯s Wacha¡¯s neck twist!?¡±
¡°Surely, the ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Slipping Away¡¿!¡±
Wrong, ¡¾Great Demon Slipping Away¡¿ ... is it the same...
¡°Nuooooh, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Shin Lariat¡¿!¡±
[Ah, Machio is going on and on with quick sessive blows! However, Earth, sways and upper body deflections... the hits can¡¯tnd! Ma goddess, he¡¯s seen through them all!?]
Damn, no, my legs are still.... shit...... I¡¯ve hit him so hard so many times, but he¡¯s fine now, and I¡¯m done in with one shot?
So you could do this much damage in my breakthrough?
Just... so unfair... I shouldn¡¯t think about that.
¡°Wowoooooooo!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Parrying¡¿!¡±
You can¡¯t help having different pools of experience than others.
[Now, Machio¡¯s stopping arm... he knocked it down with his fist at an angle!? What eyes!?]
I¡¯m going to draw from my experiences.
Even if my feet don¡¯t move, with this dynamic vision...
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Water Surface Kick¡¿!!¡±
¡°Ah...¡±
This is bad, my legs can¡¯t move.
My legs werepletely cleared by Mr. Machio¡¯s water surface kick... I fell on my butt and...
¡°Shit!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s oveeeer, Earth! With this blow!!¡±
Oh no! Mr. Machio lifted me up to his head with both hands as I fell... this is?!
¡°Oh no, Earth is in a pinch! And take a look! Machio lifted Earth overhead, and.... this is a great move that is synonymous with Machio!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh, OOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Hey, Mr. Machio, that¡¯s not a good idea!¡±
¡°Big brother! At this rate...¡±
¡°Oh, this is it!?¡±
The audience was going wild.
That¡¯s it. This was that technique.
A technique that was used the first time I sparred with Mr. Machio at the dojo.
But this time it¡¯s different.
At that time, Mr. Machio was still holding back.
But now?
He¡¯s too excited.
Super power. And if you hit the ground with this momentum...
¡ºChild!¡»
Moreover, my master¡¯s eyes were shining again as they did then!?
Damn, so it¡¯s... so ... huh?
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s face... like he¡¯s looking at me with anticipation, saying ¡°It¡¯s here!¡±?
¡°Ah...¡±
That¡¯s right. Remember. What I was doing during my training...
¨D¨DApart from the special technique... I have something I want you to teach me.
I learned Magical Breathing, and during the special training period, I asked Tre¡¯ainar.
¨D¨D So, what would you have me teach you?
Yes, I...
¨D¨D That...... yo...... when I sparred with Mr. Machio, you got mad at me for avoiding his attack, for being unable to read the mood, right?
¨D¨DNu... the Power Bomb, to the Moonsault flow, is it?
¨D¨D...... that...... thing...... what should I do...... what is the right answer?
At that time, when I avoided the technique that Mr. Machio had performed in our spar, both Tre¡¯ainar and the people in the dojo looked at me with condemnation.
That¡¯s ridiculous. I thought, but then I was wondering how I could have done it right.
Because, Tre¡¯ainar had such eyes shining with excitement... then he was so angry... and frustrated...
¨D¨D Fu~...... My Goodness, this cur, so adorable...... ahem! Um, adequately prudent! Let me guide you! In the first ce, as a reversal technique for the power bomb...
At my request, Trainer was happy and somewhat enthusiastic as he taught me.
This......
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Power Bomb¡¿!¡±
Even if you can¡¯t use footwork, you can do this much!
¡°Eh!? Wh, this is!?¡±
¡°Aaaaaaahhh E, Earth, I, I say?!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Wow, Ouooooooooooh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡ºNuo! Gooooooooo, chiiiiiiiiiiiild! That is the waaaaaaaaaayyy!¡»
With both feet, I held Mr. Machio¡¯s head firmly and spun around so that he flew diagonally backwards.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Head Scissors¡¿!!¡±
Using the recoil, nt Mr. Machio¡¯s brain into the ground!
With the momentum of the breakthrough, Mr. Machio¡¯s current body, which was further unbnced, was easily turned inside out by me.
¡°How¡¯s Thaaaaaaaaat!!!¡±
¡ºSshi!¡»
How was it? This was all right, wasn¡¯t it? That¡¯s the right answer, isn¡¯t it?
I¡¯ll probably never use this technique again except in a fight against Mr. Machio.
But I learned it. And made it work.
Do you have anyints?
¡°Tte... other than sparring or a show... it¡¯s not even acting, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve been hit with this...¡±
Even though he had fallen on top of his head, Mr. Machio still did not lose consciousness.
Jeez, he¡¯s a really tough guy.
But......
¡°Ha~, ha~... ei... ha~, ha~...¡±
Mr. Machio¡¯s breath was rising. It looked pretty painful.
After all, there was a considerable amount of wear and risk associated with this pump-up thing.
But......
¡°Ke, I¡¯m not using that again. And next time, I¡¯ll settle it.¡±
¡°Ho~¡±
If Mr. Machio continued to use this technique, it would be dangerous. But so what?
¡°Wait, Machio, I don¡¯t think you can take anymore! More than that!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Machio! That technique is ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-¡°
Elder sis Tsukshi, who would know the risks to Mr. Machio, tried to shout, but I raised my voice.
¡°Noisy! Come on! Let¡¯s decide, Mr. Machio! Let¡¯s see who wins this fight!¡±
¡°Earth...¡±
¡°Me, Mr. Machio. I¡¯m just a 15-year-old kid who hasn¡¯t had to deal with civil war, poverty, or anything as harsh as you have. You, an adult, are not moved by the tears and screams of women. You know the risks and you¡¯re choosing to take them, I can¡¯t lecture you, or tell you to cherish your life, or talk like I¡¯m conceited enough to know what you¡¯re all about, I have no remarks to cool you off with and I¡¯m not qualified to do that. I¡¯m just going to do my best to surpass you!¡±
If Mr. Machio doesn¡¯t feel like backing out, it¡¯s not my ce to interfere.
I¡¯m just going to hit him as hard as I can.
¡°Fufu... it¡¯s settled... ah, I have no objection.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll finish it! With this blow!¡±
My feet... are still a little heavy to use footwork.
Then, in this state, I have no choice but to hit the strongest technique I can muster in this state.
Yes, that technique.
In front of her.
Author¡¯s Note
I was going to use Frankensteiner, but that¡¯s a bad idea because ites from a person¡¯s name.
In that sense, so does the Dempsey Roll.
In addition, thank you for the drills and evaluations as usual.
Yesterday, I was surprised to climb to 9th ce overall for a day.
I look forward to working with you!
Chapter 153 – What I Wanted
Chapter 153 - What I Wanted
Let¡¯s settle this. With both of us in agreement, Mr. Machio and I faced each other after a certain pause.
¡°Hah, hah, hah. Here we go, Earth.¡±
Mr. Machio dropped to his haunches, got down on one knee, and put his hands on the ground.
Not unlike a quadruped beast.
This stance was¡
¡°Magical Crouching Start.¡±
¡°Crouching?¡±
¡°A short distance start that explodes umted energy. That¡¯s how I¡¯ll hit you straight in the face.¡±
No assembly, no bullsh*t. Just a straight dash that charges straight at me.
That was Mr. Machio¡¯s final blow.
And since this was a match I proposed, I won¡¯t do anything tactful like stepping around it.
Even so, I can¡¯t use my legs much because of the damage to my stomach.
Against the full speed and full force of Mr. Machio¡¯sst lunge, I¡¯ll just have to meet it head-on.
¡°Then I¡¯ll unleash a full force right straight shockwave. It¡¯s a great swirling spiral shockwave.¡±
¡°Spiral?¡±
¡°Yes. The shockwaves from the speed of sound fists that I acquired during these past three months of training. I¡¯m going to unleash it in a huge spiral.¡±
From the breakthrough state, take a breath with Magical Breathing and regain magical power.
Then, I condensed all the magic power that waspletely recovered into my right fist.
[Here, this¡ the entire venue is quiet. Everyone knows. The next one will settle everything. Everyone is watching. Which one is stronger!?]
The ce was silent.
Even Elder sis Tsukshi, who was on the verge of tears, no longer made a sound.
She just put her hands together and prayed.
She was praying to god¡ that hard.
¡°Lady Kron. It will end with the next.¡±
¡°Ara, is that so? I¡¯m very, very nervous.¡±
¡°Yes, and it will be decided. ¡¡ your¡panion.¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°So¡ show me, Earth Lagann. With my own eyes, let me see¡ that!¡±
Then the moment arrived atst.
¡°Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh!!!!¡±
The ground made a sound as if it had exploded, and Mr. Machio came straight at me with a roar.
This can¡¯t be stopped by my right straight, corkscrew or smash.
So, if you want to meet this head-on, there is only one right answer.
¡ºGo on! If that is your answer!¡»
My master¡¯s final push. I¡¯ll use it without hesitation.
¡°Let¡¯s go! I won¡¯t let anyone get in the way!!¡±
That technique.
Focus, Inte, Harden, and, if you can afford it, give it shape and if you can afford it, make it spin!
¡°That!!?? Ear¡¡¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Sadiz Big Sister? Wh¡¡ what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Ah¡ I see¡¡ ah¡ I¡¯m¡¡ ha¡ ah¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deehh!!??¡±
With the shockwave generated by protruding the huge spiral that I created by wearing the magic power that shines green at the speed of sound¡
¡°Wowoooo! ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Cannonball Tackle¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral?Earth Spiral?Sonic Impact¡¿!!¡±
Blow away.
Everything.
¡°Uoooooooh!!¡±
¡°Uruaaaaaaah!!¡±
I was interruptedst time.
But not this time.
I won¡¯t let anyone get in the way anymore.
And I¡¯m going.
¡ºTis so, go! child!¡»
We¡¯re going.
¨D¨D Well, anyway¡ shall we proceed?
¨D¨D Oh, let¡¯s go.
Back then, I swore¡
¡º¡±To the End of the World!!¡±¡»
A huge cannon shed with a swirling spiral.
¡°Ah¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
And, the final match was settled.
The only ones standing in the arena are the host and¡ me.
¡°Ah¡ ka¡ ugh¡ ah.¡±
Mr. Machio was deeply embedded in the wall of the arena.
Mr. Machio¡¯s rush and the shockwave of my spiral.
The results were clear.
¡°Ts, ga¡ well, I¡ already¡¡ limit of Super Magic Recovery, dashed all up¡¡±
Mr. Machio didn¡¯t lose consciousness, but he didn¡¯t seem able to stand back up from the wall, perhaps because he had exceeded the limits of his skill.
And, his expression was somewhat refreshed and rxed, as if he had given everything he could.
¡°How strong. The top who aims for the world¡ use me as a stepping stone¡ and run up to wherever you want to go.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio¡¡±
In the current situation, the audience and the host are still unable to raise their voices, Mr. Machio dered to everyone present¡
¡°I give up¡ it¡¯s my loss.¡±
Mr. Machio, who had always taken the opponent¡¯s attack, dered defeat, saying he couldn¡¯t take any more.
Everyone gasped at those words, but the next moment¡
¡°Oh¡¡ ah¡ Machio was defeated¡¡±
¡°Machio¡¡±
¡°That Machio¡ to big brother.¡±
¡°Older brother¡ beat uncle?¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Earth, you bastard¡ so awesome! Oraaah!¡±
¡°Uh huh¡¡ uh huh!¡±
¡°Uooooooooh, a, amazing!¡±
Gradually, words began to leak out, and finally¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
A cheer so loud that it shook the ground echoed through my entire body.
¡°Huh ¡ hah¡ won ¡ I won ¡ me ¡¡±
During the match, how do I defeat Mr. Machio?
That¡¯s all I was concentrating on.
However, when I won this way¡ now what¡¡ it was my first time.
¡°I ¡ won ¡ is it okay¡ to win ¡?¡±
I naturally clenched my fist tightly.
However, I didn¡¯t feel happy right away, and was a bit confused.
¡°Yes. You won, Earth.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio¡¡±
¡°I gave it everything I had and youpletely overwhelmed me. You¡¯re number one.
¡°Ah¡¡±
The victor. I¡¯m number one.
Number one? Me?
¡°That Earth, he¡¯s amazing! Amazing! I can¡¯t believe he beat that Machio!¡±
¡°Oraah! You bastard, what a match!¡±
¡°It¡¯s great¡ I, too¡Me too!¡±
¡°I¡¯m gonna do it¡ I also! I¡¯m gonna get stronger!¡±
¡°Well done, young man!¡±
¡°Yeah, that was cool!¡±
There was an explosion of cheers.
The apuse didn¡¯t stop.
Everyone smiled, even Mr. Machio smiled at me and congratted me.
¡°Yeah¡ is ¡ is that right?
Even with so much noise, winning was not a goal for me, but a challenge.
So, this result means that we are properly on schedule¡ but¡¡
¡°Is that right¡ the winner¡ me¡¡±
Before I noticed, I closed my eyes and was remembering all that had happened.
¨D¨D It¡¯s a match! The winner of the Imperial City Young Swordsman Tournament is Rebal!
¨D¨D As expected of the Second Sword Saint!
¨D¨D The son of the great hero has been defeated?
Ah¡ why is this¡
¨D¨D Wow, such amazing magic power! This magic is one of the highest in the history of the Academy admission!
¨D¨D What a talent, Fu Meday!
¨D¨D Well, what about Hiro¡¯s son?
¨D¨D It¡¯s¡ not low, butpared to Fu¡ meh.
Why? Why am I now¡ remembering the past that I haven¡¯t thought oftely at all?
¨D¨D She scored perfect marks in all subjects on the final exam, and topped the overall grade! Princess Phianse is a child prodigy!
¨D¨D And what¡¯s more, her spearmanship is also amazing, isn¡¯t it?
¨D¨D Yes. I heard that Hiro¡¯s son has never won a single mock battle with the princess, you know?
It doesn¡¯t matter anymore, does it?
The past is already¡ unimportant¡ so why, of all things, do I have to remember this now?
¨D¨D Hey, did you hear? Rebal and Fu are going abroad on a special study program!
¨D¨D Wow! Princess Phianse has been praised for giving a wonderful speech to other countries during this time!
¨D¨D Yes, the next generation of heroes who draw the blood of the Seven Heroes! ¡¡ him? Well~, that one¡
¨D¨D h, him, I suppose?
I¡¯ve always heard what everyone thought of me and what they said about me.
That¡¯s why I cared about the evaluations of others and I was sensitive to the voices around me.
¨D¨D Oh, Earth¡¯s grade on thisprehensive test has improved from thest time, right?
¨D¨D Ah. He can¡¯t reach the princess¡¯s perfect score, but as always¡
¨D¨D Well, he¡¯s the son of a hero.
No matter what I did, I never felt a sense of aplishment.
But when I met ¡°that guy,¡± I put in the most intense effort of my life to break free from the half-heartedness I had been experiencing, and what awaited me was¡
¨D¨D Why is that? Why? The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, the Master¡ Big sister Mamu overthrew him¡ Why can you use the power of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar!?
¨D¨D What got stronger¡ if you want to be strong, is anything eptable?
It was the worst day of my life.
¨D¨D Earth, what are you doing? And why did you hit Lord Hiro? What is the technique of the Great Demon King? Calm down, exin it from the beginning and convince us!
¨D¨D That¡¯s right, Earth. As it is, even if it¡¯s self-abandonment, will anything be gained? Everyone¡¯s anger will be directed at Earth.
¨D¨D He, the nerve to brush the princess off!?
¨D¨D Have you fallen that far!
¨D¨D To raise your hand to a woman, the lowest!
¨D¨D Kick him out of school, that guy right now!
¨D¨D Warrior disqualification!
¨D¨D Permanent expulsion from the warrior world!
And I ran away.
But now¡
[Yes, without question! The winner of the Arcane True Zenith Style Fighting Tournament is~~ Eaaaaaaaaartth Lagaaaaaaaaaannn!! Congrattions! That is the best of the best!]
The words reached my ears, not an auditory hallucination.
¡°Champion!¡±
¡°Blessed to witness the birth of our new strongest man!¡±
¡°Earth! Earth! Earth! Earth!¡±
¡°Yes¡ I can only say that he is really amazing? Machio seems to be safe too ¡ I¡¯m d¡¡±
¡°Well, Big~ Brother~¡ Big brother! Congrattions!¡±
¡°Older brother! Kyaho, Kyaho, Kyaho!¡±
I opened my eyes, and the result was definitely not a dream.
¡°How wonderful! Earth won! How lovely it was! Machio was also amazing! Everyone who participated in this tournament worked so hard!¡±
¡°Fufu. However, the winner is Earth Lagann¡ Lady Kron.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I would like to congratte Earth for his hard work!¡±
¡°Yes. Then, Lady Kron, let us go down. For the award ceremony.¡±
¡°Yes! Congrattions to Earth!¡±
There was no princess here. There was no Rebal. No Fu.
No father or mother here.
But I won.
For the first time, I became the best.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡ I¡¡ I won.¡±
¡ºIndeed. Tis obvious to all.¡»
¡°¡¡ Thank you¡¡±
¡ºThe victory is yours.¡»
I couldn¡¯t find the right words. However, I would like to thank my mentor who was closer to me than anyone else and guided me.
And¡¡
¡°Oh, hey, Sadiz Big Sister!?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
As the crowd cheered, Sadiz jumped down from the audience into the arena.
It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen those eyes¡
¡°There are so many questions I want to ask, so many things I want to say, and most of all, so many things I want to apologize for¡ I can¡¯t even begin to tell you, but¡ but¡ all the same, before anything else¡¡±
¡°Sadiz?¡±
¡°At that time¡ I¡ I should have said this¡ I¡ uh¡it may bete, but¡ maybe I don¡¯t deserve it¡but¡ even so¡¡ please let me say it.¡±
And Sadiz stood in front of me¡
¡°You¡¯ve grown really big, great, and¡ really¡¡ you¡¯ve really be stronger¡ Little man¡±
It¡¯s the original Sadiz. Oh, I see¡ her memories¡
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°As expected¡ just as you¡¯d expect of Earth Lagann. The power, the effort, the glory of the victory that he grasped at the end. I, Sadiz¡ was deeply moved¡ from the bottom of my heart¡ I¡¯m proud of Little man.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Ridiculous¡ why now¡ it¡¯s toote¡ don¡¯t suddenly turn about¡ I tried to say.
¡°¡¡ don¡¯t mes ¡ wit ¡ oh ¡ ust leav¡ already ¡ already ¡ I¡¡±
But I couldn¡¯t get the words out.
And everything I was enduring broke down there.
I couldn¡¯t do it anymore.
¡°Congrattions on your victory. Little man¡±
¡°Ah¡ uh¡ Ah¡¡¡ u¡¡¡±
I¡¯ve always wanted to hear those words.
Three months ago, I wanted those words so badly that I could scratch my throat.
However, the words that Sadiz said then were too heartbreaking.
But¡¡ But¡¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
I finally heard it.
She said I got stronger.
It¡¯s not because I¡¯m the son of a hero.
It didn¡¯t matter about the Demon King¡¯s technique.
I gritted my teeth, trained, learned, and finally grabbed the glory with the skills I had acquired.
But those words just genuinely seeped into my whole body.
Yes. Right now, I won¡¯t talk to Sadiz about what happened or what¡¯s toe.
Now, only for this moment, I just forgot about it all, and epted the blessing with open arms.
And just like back then, and this time in public¡
¡°¡¡ ugh¡ ah! Uo, ah ¡ uh¡ Uuuuuuuh!!¡±
I cried.
But these tears werepletely different from that time.
Chapter 154 – Blessing
Chapter 154 - Blessing
¡°Let¡¯s all go too, not just Ms. Sadiz!¡±
¡°Hey, Earth! You did it! Oh, man, are you crying?¡±
When I realized, following Sadiz, Mortriage and the others also rushed into the arena and piled up on me.
Oh no, tears¡
¡°Earth¡ is crying¡¡±
¡°Earth is so happy that he cried, right?¡±
Everyone ran up to me and I quickly wiped away my tears.
¡°No, I¡¯m not crying! I had a little bit of dust in my eyes¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±No, no, no, you¡¯re bawling.¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Shut up, tch, don¡¯t look at me!¡±
My eyes were red, so I couldn¡¯t fool anyone.
¡°Whaoo! Big brother, this is bad! Bad, seriously bad! Big brother got my crying manly tears too!¡±
¡°I said I¡¯m not crying, damn it!¡±
Well, although they had seen me crying, I didn¡¯t feel that embarrassed.
I don¡¯t know if I can call it the best day of my life, but I was honestly happy right now.
¡°Machio, are you okay~?¡±
¡°Yes. I¡¯m feeling rather refreshed now¡¡±
¡°Seems so, but I don¡¯t want you to push yourself anymore~.¡±
¡°¡¡ made you¡¡ worry.¡±
¡°Really~!¡±
Mr. Machio, who wielded power at the risk of his life, also needed medical attention, but he doesn¡¯t seem that bad.
He¡¯s resting now, being cared for by Elder sis Tsukshi.
¡°Uncle¡¡±
¡°Amae?¡±
¡°¡¡ Gugh ¡°
¡°Whoa¡ what is it? Are you trying tofort me? Amae¡±
¡°¡¡ Older brother¡ uncle¡ were both cool.¡±
¡°Okay, then make sure you tell Earth that, right?¡±
¡°Un!¡±
The battle was over.
Not only my acquaintances, but I also heard voices praising both me and Mr. Machio. I was a little embarrassed, but I waved and responded.
And then¡¡
¡°Hey, we haven¡¯t finished the sacred tournamentmendation yet, now have we?¡±
¡°Oh! How sly! I also want to praise Earth and Machio, but everyone got ahead of me!¡±
¡°Ahem. Lady Kron.¡±
In the arena, with me and Mr. Machio surrounded by many people, Jamdi¡¯el and Kron came down.
Jamdi¡¯el had a bitter smile, and Kron was a bit sulky.
¡°¡¡ Sadiz¡ For now.¡±
¡°¡¡ I understand.¡±
Sadiz, who regained her memory, naturally remembered Jamdi¡¯el as a former Six Supremacy.
But now she made eye contact with me and nodded that she wouldn¡¯t do anything here.
¡°Now, calm down! From this, to the winner of the Arcane True Zenith Style Fighting Tournament, words of blessing and an award from the Goddess!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words calmed the festive buzz in the arena, and Kron stood in front of me.
¡°Thank you all. Everyone at this tournament, you all~~ did your best! The people who didn¡¯t win and those who won were all amazing!¡±
I smiled and chuckled at Kron, who spoke excitedly like a child.
¡°And Earth was the best among all those who worked so hard. It was really cool.¡±
¡°Ah. ¡¡ thank you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯d like to present Earth with the championship trophy!¡±
Trophy? Come to think of it, I¡¯ve received ¡°silver medals,¡± ¡°bronze medals,¡± ¡°participation awards¡± and so on, but I¡¯ve never received a winning trophy.
I wonder how big it is. Ah, but if you¡¯re going on a trip, it¡¯s going to be luggage¡
¡°Yes, Earth! Congrattions!¡±
¡°Buho!!??¡±
¡ºNuo!?¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
Kron held out arge trophy to me, with a smile.
When we saw it, I, Tre¡¯ainar, and Sadiz burst out.
Because for that trophy¡
¡°Ha ¡ hahaha¡¡±.
¡ºKu, gu ¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡ Nuuoo¡ what is this insult!?¡»
The golden trophy was in the shape of a person.
The master next to me¡ it was a statue of Tre¡¯ainar with wings growing out of his back, his left hand on his hips, his right foot on a square pedestal, his right index finger protruding toward the heavens, and a crown on his head.
This, it was definitely designed by Jamdi¡¯el.
Well, from Sadiz¡¯s point of view, of course it¡¯s not a funny scene, but I¡¯m sorry. Iughed as usual.
And I can¡¯t take this on my journey¡ it¡¯s dangerous in many ways.
That said, I don¡¯t want to give it up because it¡¯s the first trophy I¡¯ve won in my life.
Even if it is¡ the first winning trophy of my life¡ the statue of Tre¡¯ainar¡ has a strange connection.
¡°Earth¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Keep it up¡ did you get what you wanted?¡±
At that time, I remembered Kron¡¯s words, which she asked with a smile, that I previously heard on the beach.
¨D¨D Why is Earth working so hard?
¨D¨D To get stronger.
At that time, I said so without hesitation. But Kron knew what I really meant.
¨D¨D Earth is¡ a liar.
¨D¨DEh?
¨D¨D Because that¡¯s not all, is it?
Yeah, I¡
¨D¨D I think what Earth really wants is not just strength, but something more. It must have something to do with Sadiz.
She had understood me since then.
¡°Ah! Now¡¡definitely.¡±
¡°It looks like it! I¡¯m d!¡±
I nodded my head, feeling deeply moved.
¡°Here you go, Earth! Really~, thank you for your hard work.¡±
¡°Ah. Thank you.¡±
¡°Earth was cool¡ so amazing¡ I was very excited!¡±
¡°Ah, oh, ooooh¡ Thanks.¡±
The trophy was handed to me by Kron with a gloomy look.
Indeed, it was fairly heavy.
It¡¯s usually made of pure gold. I think it¡¯s quite expensive.
But why?
I felt much heavier than it actually is.
¡°¡¡ Hehe¡¡±
This is what I gained from my achievement.
It proved as an undeniable fact that I won today.
¡°U¡ o Uuooooooooooooooohh!!¡±
When I noticed, I was holding up the trophy and shouting at the top of my lungs.
Then, in response, everyone cheered and gave me a big apuse again.
Among them were Mr. Machio and the other guys who participated in the tournament. ¡¡ no Jos¨¦ though.
And Sadiz may haveplicated thoughts about the trophy form being Tre¡¯ainar, but she still gave me a round of apuse.
¡°The prize money will be arranged at ater date. In addition, the supplementary prize will be presented to the winner, Earth Lagann, tonight, so clean thyself properly¡ anyway, look forward to it. And it will be announced to the public soon.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±????¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°In any case, this concludes the Arcane True Zenith Style Fighting Tournament! Dismissed!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±O¡ OOUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
The matter of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s supplementary prize. Most people tilted their necks because they couldn¡¯t understand ¡°that¡±, but some of the sisters who were aware of the situation were smiling or blushing.
Sadiz, unaware of the circumstances, was ¡°?¡±.
Kron had her usual grin with no particr change, but honestly, I can¡¯t read her inner thoughts.
But¡ this¡ is it that?
As Tre¡¯ainar said¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s aim is¡ but Kron seemed to be too normal for that¡ no, maybe she¡¯s that kind of person¡
¡°All right, we¡¯re celebrating today, Earth!¡±
¡°Hey! Let¡¯s get noisy today!¡±
¡°Yes! Yeah!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
As soon as the group broke up, Mortriage¡¯s crew held my shoulders andughed.
Certainly, if only for today¡
¡°Kuhahaha, ou. Let¡¯s celebrate!¡±
This was the least I could do¡ I thought, andughed.
¡°That¡¯s right. Alright, today your Big Sis will make a lot of treats! You shoulde too, Machio~!¡±
¡°Sure. I was invited.¡±
¡°Yes! Besides¡¡ I¡¯m really d that Machio wasn¡¯t the winner¡ I¡¯m really grateful to Earth~.¡±
¡°?¡±
And, because she knew about the supplementary prize for winning, Elder sis Tsukshi was really relieved ¡ or rather, I¡¯m wondering if it was okay to meddle¡
¡°Big sister! Amae too! Amae will help you today! Me too! I¡¯m cooking!¡±
¡°Yes, of course!¡±
Amae was very excited for me and Mr. Machio.
And Amae ran up to me¡
¡°Older brother¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Cool¡ you were good.¡±
¡°Ah. Thank you for your support.¡±
¡°Eh!? Un! Un! Kyahooi!¡±
When I patted her head and thanked her, Amae happily smiled and ran around me.
Oh, you¡¯re so cute!
¡°Onya~, Amae~ you¡¯re so excited. I mean, Big brother! By the way, what about that ¡°technique¡± you worked on in our special training!?¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, oh ¡ that?¡±
¡°Yeah! I forgot about it, but what was the point of going through all that hassle in your special training with me!?¡±
¡°N, no, Mr. Machio cornered me, so I couldn¡¯t afford to use it¡¡±
And I¡¯m sorry, Karui. I wasn¡¯t in a situation to use ¡°that technique¡±.
¡°Well, Lady Kron. Let us return.¡±
¡°Eh~, I want to talk with everyone too~¡±
¡°No, you have much preparations to do for today.¡±
¡°Muu~¡±
After their business was over, Jamdi¡¯el took Kron¡¯s hand and quickly left.
In the end, she left without knowing the truth.
Well, that¡¯s something we¡¯ll find out tonight.
But before that¡
There was one thing I absolutely had to do.
Author¡¯s Note
Finished¡¡ Regardless of the pros and cons, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve written a tournament like this from start to finish, and now I¡¯m lingering in the afterglow.
This is also because everyone injected drills, impact and spirit at the right time every time. Thank you.
And¡¡ is this a go? Theprehensive evaluation drill¡¡ a major mark!?
If you think about it, I think it was the first time since the battle with Shinobu that the Great Demon Spiral was released, so it¡¯s been about 100 chapters.
It¡¯s strange that this technique makes me want to be synonymous with it, even though there are a lot of flickers etc. put out.
And in this story, the period of training is 2 months in the Empire, and 3 months in Cacretale. In other words, it¡¯s been about 5 months since Tre¡¯ainar and Earth met.
And since this novel started in May of this year, I happened to notice that the same period has passed in reality.
Chapter 155 – One More Settlement
Chapter 155 - One More Settlement
Yes, there was something I had to do.
That is¡¡
¡°Mortriage¡ Elder sis Tsukshi¡ everyone. Would you mind going back to church first?¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°I just¡I¡¯ll talk to Sadiz for a bit.¡±
¡°Eh? Erm¡¡ well¡¡ sure, but¡¡±
First of all, we have to talk.
¡°Really¡ I¡¯d like to have a party, but¡ let¡¯s talk first.¡±
I don¡¯t want to just let the timing get away from me and leave things to fizzle out.
¡°It¡¯s fine, right Sadiz?¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes¡¡±
¡°Then,e along¡ just for a bit.¡±
¡°Okay¡±
Sadiz nodded to my words.
I avoided even talking to Sadiz and ran away from the Imperial City.
But Sadiz chased after me with my mother and the others.
And today, Sadiz caught up with me.
So I won¡¯t run away anymore.
I have to make up my mind.
Besides¡¡
¨D¨D When your memory returns, say it again.
¨D¨D Eh? That¡¯s¡¡ of course, but¡
¨D¨D At that time, I won¡¯t run away either. To you¡ now that you¡¯re here, there¡¯s something I want to tell you.
This was also a promise.
The day I learned Magical Breathing, I made a promise to Sadiz at the beach.
¡°Did you get all your memories back?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°How are you feeling?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine, too.¡±
¡°Then, that day¡ in my match, when I used the Great Magic Spiral¡¡±
¡°¡¡ yes¡¡ vividly¡ and¡¡ what I might have said¡¡±
Sadly, Sadiz¡¯s tone was heavy, but she was speaking clearly.
Because that moment was the trigger that sparked Sadiz¡¯s abominable past, and at the same time, it shaped us into what we are today.
¡°It¡¯s strange, isn¡¯t it? We used to be together every day as a matter of course, but now ¡¡ I¡¯m so defensive.¡±
¡°¡¡ yes¡¡ everything is¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t do that. I mean, I¡¯m the one who should be talking to you.¡±
Walking away from everyone with Sadiz.
I walked a little ahead of her, and she followed a little behind me.
¡°By the way¡ is my reputation in the Imperial City still the same? The lowest bastard, involved with the Demon King¡¯s Army, or something like that?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ hard to tell right now. When Little man left the Imperial City, I immediately followed after him along with madam and the princess.¡±
¡°Ah¡ why did the princess also¡ that doesn¡¯t matter now.¡±
Everyone was stillughing and making noise in the arena, but for us, the mood was getting heavier and heavier.
It can¡¯t be helped, though.
¡°Just so you know, I have nothing to do with the Demon King¡¯s army. I was just kidnapped by Jamdi¡¯el. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t even know that Cacretale was like this.¡±
¡°Yes. I remember what happened three months ago. Suddenly, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s magic took us¡¡±
A rtionship with the Demon King¡¯s Army.
I used Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s technique in the graduation match in front of the Emperor, so the entire Imperial City was suspicious of me.
And the abuse that was hurled at me.
¡°Little man¡ it¡¯s all because I ¡ got deranged¡ Little man¡¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?¡±
¡°It was unavoidable¡ I already knew¡ in a way, it¡¯s not wrong.¡±
Yes, it all started with the words Sadiz screamed in confusion.
At that time, when Sadiz saw my ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, she remembered that it was a technique that once destroyed her hometown.
But now that I think about it, it was already unavoidable.
After all¡¡
¡°Because I¡ I don¡¯t have anything to do with the ¡®Demon King¡¯s Army¡¯¡ but I¡¯m involved with ¡®The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡¯. No, that¡¯s not even the same level of involvement.¡±
¡°Eh¡?¡±
Sadiz paused for a moment at my words. When I looked back, her eyes opened wide and she was frozen.
Naturally.
The Great Demon King is the enemy of Sadiz¡¯s hometown and family.
And a being that died before I was born.
Why and how did I get involved with the Great Demon King?
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ is she gone yet?¡±
¡°Little man¡¡±
¡°You can¡¯t let¡¡ Jamdi¡¯el hear what I¡¯m about to tell you¡¡±
I looked around once, made sure there¡¯s no one else nearby, and then I talked.
¡°Sadiz¡ right now¡¡ next to me¡ do you see anyone there?¡±
¡°Eh? Little man? What¡¡ even if you ask¡ nobody¡¡±
I pointed next to myself as I walked. Sadiz looked flustered, as if she didn¡¯t know what I was talking about.
That said, I know she couldn¡¯t see it, and Sadiz naturally thinks no one was there.
But I¡¯m very serious.
¡ºOi, child!¡»
And when he realized what I was about to do, Tre¡¯ainar spoke up in a panic, but I couldn¡¯t stop.
¡°You, father, mother, and even Jamdi¡¯el couldn¡¯t see ¡®this guy¡¯; you can¡¯t even hear his voice. But ¡®he¡¯ is definitely here. ¡°
¡°Eh? He is? What? No one¡¯s here, right? What in the world, Little man¡ what do you think you are seeing, Little man!?¡±
I¡¯ll tell you everything.
I haven¡¯t told anyone about it for thest five months.
I didn¡¯t even try to tell anyone.
Because no one would believe it.
So, honestly, even if I tell Sadiz this story, she might be wondering, ¡°Are you okay?¡±.
But I speak.
This was my way of settling things.
¡°Do you remember, Sadiz? Five months ago¡ the Mansion Armory¡ behind the seal where the sword of the hero is¡ when I copsed.¡±
¡°Eh¡¡ yes, of course I remember.¡±
¡°Ever since that day¡ I¡¯ve been with this guy.¡±
Why did this happen in the first ce?
It all started that day.
¡°That day, I¡ I met the ghost of Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ the Great Demon King, who had remained in this world after failing to ¡¡ pass on at the end of previous war.¡±
¡°Eehh!!??¡±
¡°And Tre¡¯ainar has been by my side ever since that day¡ will continue to be.¡±
I talked to Sadiz, who has been the closest to me in my life, more than my father and mother.
¡°If you think I¡¯ve lost my mind, so be it. If you think I¡¯m stupid, go ahaed. But I¡¯ll only tell you the truth from now on. Even if you don¡¯t see him, can¡¯t hear anything, and can¡¯t believe it, Tre¡¯ainar is definitely here, right now.¡±
Even if what I¡¯m going to say was uneptable to Sadiz, the only way to tell the truth about how I could have used the Great Magic Spiral was to tell it all.
To settle with Sadiz, and for me to truly graduate and leave the nest.
So today, for the first time, I¡¯m going to tell someone about Tre¡¯ainar.

How far? Wherever!
Chapter 156 – Two People
Chapter 156 - Two People
There weren¡¯t many people on the beach, probably because it was evening.
Sadiz and I sat down on the beach and talked about what happened to me.
That day, I met Tre¡¯ainar.
By possessing me, Tre¡¯ainar was able to go out into the world.
Somehow, he started to train me.
Unusual training that I have never done before.
That we read books together.
That he was strict.
We were teasing.
We had an argument.
I had my back pushed out.
Our talk couldn¡¯t be brief. To think my daily life became so intense.
Sadiz listened to me in silence the entire time without interruption.
¡°And¡ I was taught¡ a technique called the Great Demon Spiral. Well in fact¡¡ I didn¡¯t know what it meant for Sadiz¡¡±
A technique that took everything away from Sadiz.
I asked for lessons from the one who took everything from Sadiz.
So, it was inevitable that Sadiz would be distraught at the graduation match.
I can¡¯t resent Sadiz.
But then the question is¡
¡°Sadiz¡ I found out what this technique meant¡ but I still used it earlier. I will continue¡¡ to use it.
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why¡ I¡¯m¡ sorry¡ Sadiz.¡±
I¡¯ve never known a time of war.
But I know what Tre¡¯ainar did.
I also know what Tre¡¯ainar has taken from Sadiz.
I also know that Sadiz will never forgive Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°It¡¯s fine if you ¡¡ despise me, and you can ¡¡ choose not to forgive me, but still I¡¯m¡¡±
Honestly, if you were to tell me this out of the blue, I wouldn¡¯t believe it or be able to wrap my head around it.
I can see a ghost, and that ghost is The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar.
To be honest, Sadiz and I were talking without being in this situation, she would have dismissed it with ¡°Is your head all right?¡±
But I used Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s technique.
How do you exin that?
I had no choice but to reveal everything.
¡°Pl, please wait¡ Little man¡ that, a little longer¡¡±
Although she didn¡¯t outright deny me, Sadiz was confused and holding her head.
¡°Honesty¡ even if I was suddenly told about something I cannot see¡ but, if you¡¯re convinced that you can ¡®see the ghost of the Great Demon King¡¯¡¡ then everything up to this point would actually make sense¡¡±
This reaction was natural.
Even Sadiz, who is smart, would not immediately believe in the existence of ghosts if she was suddenly told of their existence.
That said, Sadiz also knew that I wasn¡¯t lying.
¡°Assuming that ¡¡ all of that is true¡ the ghost of the Great Demon King¡ would not do something to harm Little man.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like that. I can see him, we can have conversations, but he can¡¯t touch me, and in this state Tre¡¯ainar can¡¯t use magic on me either.¡±
¡°Is ¡ that so? B, but¡ conversations, then can he¡ um¡¡ what does he say¡ erm¡¡±
Seeing Sadiz¡¯s reluctance, I knew what I wanted to ask.
It was what I expected.
¡°I¡¯m not being threatened¡ I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve been ¡¡ verbally manipted or ¡¡ brainwashed. I¡¯ve been ¡¡ influenced, though.¡±
¡°Huh!? Little man¡ ah¡ tsu¡¡ sorry¡¡ I didn¡¯t mean to¡¡±
She thinks I¡¯m being brainwashed, doesn¡¯t she?
I can¡¯t me her for thinking that.
In fact, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words influenced me quite a bit, got me heated, made me think, and so on.
From the perspective of some people, this may also be considered brainwashing.
But I¡¯d like to think it¡¯s not like that.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡ are you, brainwashing me?¡±
¡ºWrong! Durd!¡»
¡°Wrong¡ durd¡¡ now, he¡¯s angry. Kuhahahaha. Is that so ridiculous you can¡¯t believe it?¡±
Even after this kind of exchange, even after I divulged Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s existence, Sadiz would only see me acting out on my own.
¡°¡¡ no way¡¡ you can speak so casually? To the Great Demon King¡¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah~¡ Well, I asked him before if he wanted me to stop talking to him like that, right? When I did, he said being treated formally made him feel uneasy.¡±
¡°¡¡ is¡¡ that right?
Sadiz looked at me with a sad expression.
But it doesn¡¯t seem to be grief over the fact that my mind is finally in a sorry state.
But whatever it is, I have to say this.
¡°It¡¯s just¡ since I met him¡ I¡¯ve been through a lot, but¡ now I¡¯m ¡¡ fulfilled. And I want to keep learning from Tre¡¯ainar and getting stronger.¡±
¡°¡¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to live¡¡ with this guy.¡±
I¡¯m going to live with Tre¡¯ainar.
I clearly told Sadiz how I truly felt.
And then¡¡
¡°Little man¡ what¡¡ What¡¡±
Sadiz bit her lip, her shoulders shaking.
¡°What the hell are you saying!? What¡are you!¡±
She cried out.
¡°Little man! You¡¯re talking about the Great Demon King who once tried to destroy the human race in this world. You asked him to teach you¡ spent time together¡ why¡¡ in the first ce, if Little man didn¡¯t learn the Great Magic Spiral from the Great Demon King¡ if you hadn¡¯t learned that¡¡±
¡°Yeah, I would still be stuck in ce at the Imperial Capital¡ rotting away with a feeling of inferiority to the princess. At least¡¡ I wouldn¡¯t be as strong, as you said I was.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true ¡ that¡¯s not¡ besides ¡ in the first ce ¡ in the first ce, why is it the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar!?¡±
Screaming, and ring at me¡ no, Sadiz red sharply at someone who she couldn¡¯t see, not me.
¡°I can¡¯t forgive him! I hate the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, who¡ took everything from me¡ and still trying to take more! Why are you so¡ Little man sincerely wants¡ he feels that strongly¡no way¡ There¡¯s nothing you can do about it!¡±
Then, Sadiz stood up, scampered around and shouted.
¡°Don¡¯t be, ridiculous¡ i, if you¡¯re there,e out,e out! Don¡¯t be ridiculous! Don¡¯t you dare take my Little man away from me!¡±
However, no matter how much you shout ¡°Come out¡±, Tre¡¯ainar was here from the beginning.
But Sadiz can¡¯t see him.
She can¡¯t even hear his voice.
¡°It¡¯s not fair! Why only the Great Demon King!? The Great Demon King who took my father, my mother, my family, and my hometown and everything else, now he¡¯s going to take Little man from me. no, way¡ such a thing¡¡ I can¡¯t allow that to happen?¡±
So, Sadiz couldn¡¯t vent her anger even if she wanted to.
All Sadiz could hear was the sound of waves echoing on the empty sandy beach.
¡°Ugh, uh¡ why¡¡ why!¡±
Then, Sadiz copsed to her knees on the spot, sheddingrge tears.
¡°Why the Great Demon King? Why can¡¯t I see you? How can you¡¡ in less than a few months¡ raise Little man¡ to be so great and strong?¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°Ever since he was born¡ I was by Little man¡¯s side¡ I loved him more than anyone else¡ we spent more time together than with anyone else¡ after taking everything from me, this time you took Little man too¡ how do I not resent you? How could I not hate you! How do I stop you¡ ugh ¡ uh¡¡±
It was the first time the cool Sadiz had screamed so emotionally.
¡°¡ if only ¡¡ I hadn¡¯t ¡¡ remembered my past trauma at that time, if only I hadn¡¯t ¡¡ screamed! Nothing would have changed¡¡±
Certainly. If it hadn¡¯t been for that incident, I might still be in the Imperial Capital.
Sadiz and I might not have ended up like this.
¡°And¡ Little man too¡ you don¡¯t intend to return to the Imperial City¡ and on that journey¡ I can¡¯t apany you, can I?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t ¡¡ say such a thing ¡¡ with such ¡¡ unwavering eyes¡¡±
But here we are. And I¡¯ve already decided on my answer.
¡°I¡¯m not mad at Sadiz anymore¡ I¡¯m sorry too¡ but¡¡ still, I¡¯m not going back. I¡¯m going out into the world¡ just the two of us.¡±
¡°Two people¡ is it?¡±
¡°Yeah, with Sadiz around¡ I¡¯ll get spoiled.¡±
¡°That¡¯s how much I want it¡¡ then¡¡±
¡°But please don¡¯te. I¡¯m free to live now.¡±
Right. I know that, as well.
I also remembered how much Sadiz has cherished me since I was born.
That¡¯s why I¡¯ll love Sadiz like this¡ always¡¡
¡°Me¡ you want to throw me away because I¡¯m a burden? You don¡¯t need me anymore!¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not. I¡¯m graduating.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t use those words! Graduating? Does that mean independence or separation from parents? Please don¡¯t use such pretty words to fool me about going on a journey with the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar!¡±
That¡¯s why, I also knew that Sadiz wouldn¡¯t back down easily.
I know she won¡¯t break easily.
¡°Little man¡ is free to live? If so, this journey of freedom¡ do you really think¡ that Master and Madam¡ would keep silent without saying anything if they knew? Do you really think ¡¡ that I¡¯m going to let you go quietly like this??¡±
Sadiz stood up again.
While her eyes were swollen with tears, she exposed an intense, anger intimidating feeling.
¡°Still¡ you think you can dismiss me¡ and just go with the Great Demon King? You would choose¡¡ the Great Demon King over us?¡±
With a swaying stance, it looked like she was ready to pounce at any moment.
No matter how much I said, if it doesn¡¯t work, I would have to use force¡ I was expecting such a development ¡ I wasn¡¯t surprised.
¡°Even if it means fighting me?¡±
I don¡¯t want to fight.
I don¡¯t want to fight Sadiz alone.
But still, if Sadiz wouldn¡¯t allow it and forcefully stood in front of me, then I¡
¡°I¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I can¡¯t do it!!¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?¡±
¡°¡¡ ugh ¡ uh ¡ I, I should be able to¡¡±
But before I said anything¡
¡°I should be able to¡ but I can¡¯t! There¡¯s no way¡¡ I can do ¡¡ more to make you hate me, Little man¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way¡ I could seriously fight you, Little man¡¡±
Sadiz yelled again and sank back into the ce.
It¡¯s the same for me.
I don¡¯t want to fight Sadiz.
Chapter 157 – For My Sake
Chapter 157 - For My Sake
We can¡¯t fight.
That¡¯s why Sadiz¡¯s answer was that she couldn¡¯t stop it.
¡°¡¡ uh¡ ugh¡¡±
The appearance of Sadis leaking sobs also tightened my heart.
If I hadn¡¯t endured it, I might have burst into tears as well.
¡°¡¡ Little man¡¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Then, Little man¡ no longer¡¡ from now on¡¡ doesn¡¯t intend to go back¡ is that what you mean?¡±
The question is, ¡°Are you evering back home again?¡±
Certainly, when I ran away from the Imperial City, I was like, ¡°I¡¯m never going back. ¡°
So maybe that¡¯s the case.
¡°¡¡ Well¡¡±
Because when I met Sadiz again, I thought about graduating from Sadiz, but I didn¡¯t think about going back to the Imperial City.
And when I think about it again¡
¡°At least at this point¡ I don¡¯t feel like going home, I don¡¯t want to go home, I don¡¯t have a reason to go home¡ right now¡¡ I don¡¯t feel like showing my face to the people in the Imperial City¡¡±
I¡¯m not angry about Sadiz.
I¡¯m convinced that it¡¯s unavoidable.
On the other hand, what of the people of the Imperial City who bombarded me with abusive misceneous words?
Well, they saw me use the Great Demon King¡¯s technique, hitting my hero father, and brushing off the princess¡¯ hand.
Them criticizing me might be inevitable, but I wasn¡¯t motivated to just let it slide when it came to the people of the Imperial City.
¡°Well, won¡¯t you evere home?¡±
¡°¡¡ but, the technique of the Great Demon King I used¡ that is¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just the use of the technique of the Great Demon King¡ you hitting your father¡ or anything else that I disagree with.¡±
¡°Huh¡?¡±
At least for now, it¡¯s not the ce where I, the son of the Hero, would return to.
The ¡°reason¡± for rejecting the Imperial City itself is different from the disagreement with Sadiz.
¡°Master, Madam! The princess and the others¡ they¡¯re really worried about Little man! At least¡¡ at least once¡¡ just to talk¡¡±
Father¡¡ mother¡¡ thest two people I saw¡
¨D¨DYour father, your mother, and Sadiz love you from the bottom of our hearts! Believe me! We¡¯re a family!
I punched my father in the face when he said that to me at the graduation match.
¨D¨D Hey, wait, Earth!
I came this far without ever looking back at my mother, who found me in Cantidan and desperately chased after me.
Certainly, I could say that I¡¯ve been running away emotionally, too.
Like Sadiz, we¡¯ve had our share of misunderstandings, and maybe if I exined it, my father and mother might ept me.
But now¡
¡°If I ever go back¡ at that time¡¡±
¡°That time?¡±
¡°When I¡¯m more ¡¡ confident in¡¡ myself, that¡¯s when¡¡±
Otherwise, things will end up being the same. I don¡¯t want that.
¡°I came out here after hitting my father¡ I can¡¯t do this half-heartedly¡ I have to be good enough to say, ¡®Look at me now, you bastard.¡¯¡ or I¡¯ll just be a hero¡¯s son¡ just born into a hero¡¯s house¡ I want that much confidence and achievement.¡±
I haven¡¯t achieved anything yet, and I want to be more¡ than I am now¡
¡°Confidence? Achievement? Didn¡¯t Little man be stronger? You also won in the tournament against some of the best! Even though I lost my memory, I have seen with my own eyes how much bloody effort Little man has put in here in Cacretale!¡±
Sure, I worked hard and got my first win.
Butpared to the feats of father and mother¡
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m happy and proud of my win. But¡ it¡¯s just a challenge, it¡¯s not the goal¡¡±
¡°Huh!? ¡¡¡¡±
At that moment, Sadiz¡¯s eyes became sharp again.
¡°Yes¡ is that what the Great Demon King told you?¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°The Little man I knew ¡®before¡¯¡ would be more¡¡ festive¡ is the reason why you are so stoic and ambitious¡ because the Great Demon King told you so and Little man was influenced by him?¡±
I was at a loss for words, but it was true.
Maybe I wouldn¡¯t have thought like this when I was in the Empire.
As Sadiz said, I¡¯d be festive¡
¡°¡ what do ¡ what, that is! I¡¯m¡ I!¡±
And Sadiz yelled again, but immediately kept her head down in depression¡
¡°Me¡ the Master, Madam, and Little man¡ I love spending time with just the four of us¡ I¡¯m happy¡ I want to get those days back again¡ I don¡¯t want to lose you¡ I¡¯ll definitely bring Little man home¡ that¡¯s all I think about¡ thinking for Little man? No¡¡ I¡¡ I only thought about making myself happy¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°Why!? Why is the Great Demon King¡ the Great Demon King¡ for Little man¡ giving advice that can help Little man grow¡¡ urate guidance that can make the Little man stronger¡ why¡¡ didn¡¯t I¡¡ do that? Why¡ I didn¡¯t realize the anguish of Little man¡ until I was cornered¡ I should have¡ why, could the Great Demon King do it¡¡±
At the same time as sadness, Sadiz was gritting her teeth with some regret.
¡°What¡¯s the best¡ what¡¯s good for him¡ what he needs¡ not as the Son of the Hero¡ as Earth Lagann, why couldn¡¯t I¡ see¡ why couldn¡¯t I fulfill my vow to live for Little man! Why!¡±
She started ming herself again.
I couldn¡¯t find any words to say to Sadiz, and she took in a few rough breaths¡
¡°Little man¡ now¡¡ you two¡ you said it was fulfilling, right?¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah¡ Yeah.¡±
¡°Those days¡ not only are you getting stronger with urate guidance¡ Little man¡ are you also able to ¡¡ keep a smile on your face? In everyday life¡ having fun¡ properly¡¡ are you smiling?¡±
Am I able to earnestly keep smiling?
I had no need to think about it.
Sadiz would say, ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous,¡± and father and mother wouldn¡¯t allow it.
But I spent time with Tre¡¯ainar, and¡
¡°Even without your memory¡ for three months in this country¡ you were watching me, weren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡ Little man¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ Sadiz. I¡¡ I¡¯m having fun.¡±
¡º¡¡ my goodness¡¡ how moronic¡ just be silent and go back¡ you may start over¡¡»
I just couldn¡¯t lie.
In thest few years, I¡¯ve never smiled like an idiot so hard, so deeply and with such fulfillment.
¡°¡¡ I see¡¡±
Was Sadiz disappointed with my answer? Was she dumbfounded? Would she hate me now!
¡°Great Demon King¡ first¡¡ you¡¡ why was my hometown¡ ~~~~tsu¡¡ no¡¡ wrong¡¡ not that¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°The most important thing¡ already¡¡ right now is¡ ku ¡ uh ¡ ugh ¡¡±
Sadiz started saying something, but quickly stopped herself, and instead¡¡
¡°Great Demon King! If you¡¯re there, you listen! These are my one-sided remarks! No need to respond through Little man!¡±
¡º¡¡ Nu?¡»
Not to me, even though she couldn¡¯t see him, Sadiz¡¯s word were aimed at Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡°On the journey ahead, if anything should happen to Little man; I will die, I will be a spirit, and I will definitely hunt you down and cast you into the depths of hell! I promise! I won¡¯t hear any excuses!¡±
¡ºNu, nu?¡»
¡°I¡¯m entrusting the most precious thing in the world, my Little man, to the being who took everything from me¡ it¡¯s so painful that my heart is crushed¡ I¡¯ve an urge to search for an exorcist even now and thoroughly search for a means to exorcise the Great Demon King from Little man¡ I hate you, Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar! Even if there was once a just cause, I will never forgive you! But¡ even so¡¡ if you truly care for Little man¡¡±
She one-sidedly gave her emotional, but bittersweet feelings, to Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°And you, Little man ¡°
And now, looking at me¡
¡°You don¡¯t want to travel with a pretty girl¡ I¡¯m not convinced, but¡¡ no matter what happens, I¡¯ll stand by you. Right, wrong, I don¡¯t know anymore. Do what you want Little man¡ please do it to your heart¡¯s content¡¡±
¡°Sadiz.¡±
¡°I tried to guide Little man only as the son of a hero¡ I failed to determine what was best for Earth Lagann¡ I couldn¡¯t do anything¡ I¡¯m not worthy¡ but¡ at the very least, Little man¡ please allow me to see you off¡ and pray for you.¡±
Sadiz looked at me with a mixed but lonely expression, but still trying to smile as much as she could.
That expression made me feel unbearable guilt, and at the same time, I felt like crying too.
¡°And Little man. Finally¡ may I ask only one selfish thing for myself?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
And Sadiz gave me her onest wish with a smile. That is¡¡
¡°Can I have onest ¡¡ hug? As a way of saying goodbye.¡±
There was no reason for me to decline.
¡°If so, with pleasure¡¡±
Her hands slowly turned, and the warmth and calming fragrance that I have known for a long time.
After all, when I get wrapped up in Sadiz, my heart feels at ease.
¡°Ah¡ I used to carry you in my arms so easily¡ but now you¡¯re just as tall as I am¡ really¡¡ you¡¯ve be big and strong.¡±
¡°Oh, have you noticed that now?¡±
¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t even notice that¡ in many ways, I¡¯m unqualified. And the madam¡ she said the same thing.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
I couldn¡¯t let her see my face now either.
¡°Sadiz¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Thanks¡ for everything¡¡ and¡¡ for seeing me off¡ thank you.¡±
I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d ever be able to face Sadiz like this again, head on.
Sadiz was the one who was hurting the most right now.
But she still chose to see me off.
We can¡¯t be together.
But still¡
¡°Little man. I¡¯ll be so happy to live in a world where I tell the Master, ¡®Look at me now!¡¯¡¡ I¡¯m waiting for you to be one of the world¡¯s greatest¡whenever it gets too hard¡
¡°So, don¡¯t¡¡ ugh¡¡ ruin it.
¡°I love you, more than anyone else in the world. I¡¯ll always be thinking of you no matter what happens. Call on me anytime. I¡¯lle running even to the end of the world.¡±
¡°Uh ¡ Sa ¡ diz ¡¡±
¡°And¡ hopefully¨D¨D¡±
Even though I said ¡°I have already cut off the past¡±, I really just go with what¡¯s convenient.
Also, would Tre¡¯ainar ever even talk to me again?
¡ºI do not mind. On asion.¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s voice felt very gentle.
¨D¨D¨D Part 4 Complete ¨D¨D¨D
Author¡¯s Note
There will be various opinions. Some may have hoped for a grand rejection. I will ept it already.
Please say it to your heart¡¯s content.
And, because part 4 ended up being too long, and maybe someedy wille in after this, the mood may change, so I will break this part here once.
They haven¡¯t even set out on a journey yet, and what about Jamdi¡¯el and Kron? I think there will be opinions on that, but I will break it off here. Excuse me.
Chapter 158 – Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ?
Chapter 158 - Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ¢Ú
I am ovee with emotion.
Long were the seconds it took to get to this point, and I tremble at the thought of the oing rewards.
Of course, there is still much needed for my n, and this is merely its middle stage.
But still, my heart is abuzz.
On that day, in order to gather information, I was watching the graduation match of the Imperial City Warrior Academy through magik crystal.
Never did I expect that Hiro and Mamu¡¯s child would use the Great Demon Spiral.
How could he use it?
Who in heavens is thatd?
But what was imperative, rather than unraveling the mystery, was to have thed at hand as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the parent-child rtionship between Earth Lagann and Hiro wasn¡¯t sound, and Earth Lagann had fled from the troublesome Imperial City.
And I was able to find them faster than they could, and spirit him away here to Cacretale.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
No, not yet, don¡¯tugh yet. Lady Kron would find it strange.
However, no matter how apt his use of the Great Demon Spiral and Breakthrough can be, he was still an unfinished great vessel.
As a precaution, I had thought to use Machio or Jos¨¦, but my concerns were unnecessary.
He mastered Magical Breathing and demonstrated power that surpassed even Machio¡¯s.
I no longer have anyints.
He will spawn the ideal child with Lady Kron.
And the existence that will be born between me and their conceived child is the existence that will transcend all life and be the true God who rules the Heaven, the Surface and the Demon worlds.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el~ do you hear me~?¡±
¡°Oh, no, erm, pardon me.¡±
¡°Hmm, listen, what were you saying? Strawberries, cats, white, ck, light blue, red, yellow, also many others, and I should wear nothing else. Which one would you prefer?¡±
¡°Yes. After all¡ white would be what best suits you, Lady Kron. And for the sake of absolute victory¡ go with the whitece.¡±
¡°Oh, is that so? I understand! Whitece, then!¡±
Thinking back, how many days did it take to get here?
The Surface world sojourn to evade La¡¯iphant of the Demon Realm.
However, Mikado and the rest of the allied forces have set up awork on the Surface world.
It was extremely difficult to escape a ce of rest with the then infant Lady Kron.
Reluctantly, I sought aid from ¡®Hakuki¡¯ and the boss of the Bockmati family, ¡®Inai¡¯, and fled to this country, but everything led to today.
¡°Ufufufufufu¡±
¡°Huh, Lady Kron?¡±
Then Lady Kron smiled at me as I was floating away.
The sight of Lady Kron after her bath, with her body cleansed, made me feel a shocking lust, despite being of the same sex.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, you look happy.¡±
¡°Well, i, is that so?¡±
I didn¡¯t realize that Lady Kron could see through me, was my face that obvious?
I must brace myself.
Lady Kron is to be sent to Earth Lagann¡¯s chambers to do the deed!
No worries. With Lady Kron¡¯s divine cuteness, Earth Lagann should fall easily.
There is no doubt that he will dive into the bed with Lady Kron, smiling in her lingerie with a ribbon wrapped around her.
Well, should he refuse by any chance, or even try to escape¡ I will not allow it.
¡°But I¡¯m worried. Will Earth be pleased with me¡ will he ept me?¡±
¡°Of course! The mantra passed down from ancient books ¡ ¡®The prize is me¡¯¡ nod can decline this.¡±
¡°Fufufu, is that right?¡±
¡°Yes, I am sure.¡±
Yes, all is well. At the same time, I almostughed.
Thinking about it, Lady Kron, who was still a baby about 498340000 seconds ago, hase so far¡
¨D¨D Ueeeh, uuh, ueeeh, ueeeeeeeeh!
¨D¨D Lady Kron! What¡¯s wrong¡¡ Oh, thou leaks¡ Kuh, I must change diapers again¡ I¡¯m not good at this¡ oh, all right! It¡¯s okay~, Lady Kron!
I was feared as the Dark Valkyrie, but because I was not able to unite with God, for me who was still pure and unmarried, it was more difficult for me to raise and protect Lady Kron as a baby, than to go to war.
¨D¨D Ugh, oh, mama¡
¨D¨D Lady Kron, I am not thy mother, I am Jamdi¡¯el. I am thy vassal. And what happened? Why does thou shed tears?
¨D¨D Why do I have horns? Why am I different from everyone?
¨D¨D Of course. Thou is different from the monkeys out there. Thou is a chosen being with the blood of God in thy veins! So, please take care!
¨D¨D I don¡¯t want to be God¡ I want to be normal¡ Jamdi¡¯el isn¡¯t a servant¡
¨D¨D Lady Kron. Now, it¡¯s time for thy studies, not to utter such nonsense.
For me, who has never raised a disciple or a subordinate, suddenly raising such a young existence was truly difficult, even though she was a goddess with divine blood.
¨D¨D Now, Lady Kron. After this, I would like to ask thou please give the order to all the revolutionaries. Afterwards, please rest. For Machio and I will dispose of all our enemies.
¨D¨D Yes, I understand. But please be careful, Jamdi¡¯el. Don¡¯t get hurt¡
¨D¨D There is no problem.
Then, when Lady Kron had grown to some extent, we moved in earnest to take over Cacretale.
I realized that Hakuki, who was stronger than me and a thorn in my side, could not move for a while, and furthermore, after the revolution was sessful, the Bockmati family also perished on its own, so everything went ording to my ideal.
Yes, all as if God were supporting me.
Oh, God. Are you watching over us?
Nearly there.
Although we lost God, we will once again harbor the blood of God in the world and bring his eternal rule to the world!
¡°Hey, Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°Would Jamdi¡¯el be happy if¡¡ I gave birth to Earth¡¯s child?¡±
At that time, Lady Kron, who was smiling somewhat calmly at my excitement, asked me a question.
Would I be happy? The answer to that is clear.
¡°Yes. That is what I, as thy vassal, long for.¡±
¡°¡¡ I see¡¡±
¡°?¡±
At that instant, Lady Kron appeared to be thinking about something for a moment, but she immediately smiled again.
¡°Okay. I¡¯m going to have a lot¡«¡«¡«¡«¡« of babies!¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s the spirit, Lady Kron!¡±
Well, even if thou should give birth to just one¡ nay¡¡ considering that the child might be female, would it be necessary to conceive several children?
¡°Then Jamdi¡¯el would be pleased, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?¡±
¡°Then¡ yes! I will make sure to ask Earth to do it diligently! I¡¯ll ask to do it a lot, please!¡±
What happened?
At first nce, she seemed enthusiastic, and I believed she was burning with her mission as a goddess, which I taught her, but it also felt a little different.
Nay, why does it matter if I am happy in the first ce?
¡°So, Jamdi¡¯el¡ your wish wille true¡ if you are satisfied and pleased¡ I just want you to listen to one of my wishes.¡±
¡°Please¡?¡±
This is rare. Has Lady Kron ever asked anything of me with such an expression?
There is no need for such a change, and if it¡¯s Lady Kron¡¯s order, I can do most things¡
¡°I¡ call Jamdi¡¯el¡ not by name¡ but in a different way¡¡±
¡°?¡±
Call? What? How to call me?
¡°¡¡ Ummm, I¡¯ll ask you about this another time.¡±
¡°What? No, Lady Kron, what is it? Please speak up.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll do this ¡ after Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s wishese true.¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡¡±
Lady Kron uttered something, but she smiled right after without saying it in the end.
What does thou mean? To be called differently, is it a nickname? A moniker? I don¡¯t understand. What was Lady Kron trying to say?
¡°Thank you for everything, Jamdi¡¯el. I will do my best! Earth is a very nice boy. I will do my best to make him like me!¡±
¡°That¡¯s the spirit, however, you needn¡¯t work so hard, that man will easily be swayed by you.¡±
Oh, well. Now. And for some reason, Lady Kron was quite motivated.
If that¡¯s the case, it would be prudent to first give priority to this.
However, for that purpose¡
¡°Then, Lady Kron, I¡¯ll take my leave for a while.¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go over the etiquette again.¡±
After saying that, I left Lady Kron¡¯s room¡ Fufu¡¡ a rat¡
¡°Well¡ before my heraldic eyes¡ there¡¯s no point in using magik to hide¡ fuhahahaha!¡±
I can see things through the walls, the reach of my eyesight is vast, and I am able to see activated magical powers as colors.
No matter how miniscule.
¡°Then again¡ thou was also sneaking around between fights during the fighting tournament¡ well, I knew the other party, so I let it be, but ¡ might as well!¡±
I opened the window of the corridor and jumped outside, leaped over the rooftops of the city, and into the shadow of a back alley¡
¡°What have we here?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°What is thou doing sneaking around?¡±
¡°Ah, haha ??¡ Master¡¡±
There stood a man with a tense smile and sweat on his cheeks, shrinking back at my presence.
And in his hand, a magik crystal is clenched, as if he was about to make contact with someone.
¡°Reporting in are we? Hey, Wacha?¡±
Wacha Huacha.
After this, he had no desire to make an appearance at the luncheon for the fighting tournament to be held at the church, and instead sneaked off to a remote ce¡ however, I was also taken as naive.
¡°Hand over the Magik Crystal.¡±
¡°Huh¡?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll talk to him myself.¡±
I¡¯m sure ¡®he¡¯ will ask anyway.
Then it would be better to hear it directly from my mouth.
Then it was then.
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
The magik crystal glowed even though he had yet to do anything.
This, on the contrary, indicates thatmunication is being sent here.
Apparently, before we can get in contact with them¡
¡°It is I.¡±
¡¸Yo, Wa¡tte!? La, Lady¡ Jamdi¡¯el?¡¹
It seems that they were going to contact Wacha from the other end, and when I suddenly appeared, I heard a sound of someone falling in surprise from beyond the magik crystal.
Apparently, they were quite surprised.
¡°Hmm¡ confirming the results of the fighting tournament¡ nay, checking on the final key?¡±
I am aware of their purpose. So I asked for confirmation.
And then¡¡
¡¸Oh, no, that¡¯s true too, though¡ just in time! An urgent message from the boss to Lady Jamdi¡¯el. I was going to have Wacha deliver it¡¡¹
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
That was unexpected.
I believed they sought to simply confirm the man who would be Lady Kron¡¯spanion, but an urgent message from ¡®him¡¯?
¡°Hold, in the first ce, where is he now?¡±
¡¸I¡¯m¡ simply¡¡ just this sudden message¡¡¹
¡°Tch¡oh, well. So?¡±
¡¸I will deliver the words of the boss as they are. [A new king has ascended the throne of Ang Kingdom, the kingdom above the clouds].¡¹
¡°¡¡!?¡±
The message was a quandary I myself had never even considered at all.
¡¸Also¡ [In order to appeal to the people, the new king is about to make a move to capture the biggest stain in the kingdom¡¯s history, the traitor Jamdi¡¯el]¡ he said.¡¹
¡°Huh!? Wh, what?¡±
¡¸[The situation of the Istionist Nation on the Surface World doesn¡¯t matter. Return to the Demon Realm now. All three of you, if you have found the key]¡ he said.¡¹
I never thought that the past that I had abandoned hundreds of years ago would find me.
¡°Tch¡ what to do now. In the past, all the promising Valkyries sent my way were beaten, and since then, have dreadfully retreated into the clouds¡ but, for Hakuki to advise me to such extent¡¡±
After all, not everything goes as smoothly as I would have it.
Must there always be some sort of trial?
But can Ie this far only to end in ruin?
This country is finally working the way I want it to.
Now, even if I return to the Demon Realm, would I be more indebted to Hakuki? That is more troubling.
Then the answer was already there.
¡°What of it? Come if thou will,e dross Odin and the feathered worms who worship thee¡ and I¡¯ll kill all of thee.¡±
No one will interfere with my wishes.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your help.
Part 5 begins here, but let me rx for a bit.
I worked so hard on Part 4, that I got too busy with my actual job.
Chapter 159 – A Casual Moment
Chapter 159 - A Casual Moment
¡°So, Little man. Currently, this ind nation is warded off from the outside world. What do you n to do?¡±
After the hug with Sadiz, I said farewell and departed on the journey¡ is what I¡¯d like to say, but reality doesn¡¯t go that smoothly.
Because Jamdi¡¯el put a barrier over Cacretale, so it is impossible to go to the outside world at present.
It was something I couldn¡¯t break even if I used the Great Magic Spiral three months ago.
¡°I¡¯m also going to have a hard time hard time outsmarting them with magic, and no doubt Jamdi¡¯el will notice.¡±
¡°Yeah, well, about that¡¡±
The discussion I had three months ago. What Jamdi¡¯el imposed on me was to win the tournament.
¡°I beat Mr. Machio and won the championship just like she wanted, now as she promised¡¡±
¡ºNo, tis not just the victory, child.¡»
¡°¡¡¡±
No, I remembered that too, but I didn¡¯t want to mention it in front of Sadiz, so I didn¡¯t.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Little man? Did the Great Demon King say anything?¡±
And Sadiz narrowed her eyes at my reaction. Obviously, it¡¯s a scornful re.
¡°Hmm ¡ oh no¡¡±
Yes, the conditions that Jamdi¡¯el gave me. That was ¡°Winning¡± and ¡°Helping with something¡±.
The ¡°something¡± was ambiguous, but it was clearly rted to Kron.
Yes, Kron and¡ somethingsomething-like¡
¡°¡¡ By the way, Little man¡¡±
¡°O, oh.¡±
¡°Erm ¡ about the demon named Kron¡¡±
¡°Ugh!?¡±
¡°¡¡ what¡¯s that reaction?¡±
For a moment, I thought she read my mind. Involuntarily, I was surprised to hear it out loud.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el serves her¡ even more¡¡ her face¡ I once saw the Great Demon King when I was very young¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ Oh~¡¡±
¡°So, how much do you know about her, Little man? What does the Great Demon King know? And¡¡ the state of Jamdi¡¯el right after the tournament¡¡she even wants Little man to eat something that would increase his vigor¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah, uh huh¡¡±
¡°Little man¡ do you know whates after this?¡±
¡°No, I haven¡¯t heard it directly, it¡¯s just a guess, but¡¡±
¡°Hmm¡ well, Little man has already graduated from me, no matter what he does or where he does it and with whom, I have no right to interfere¡¡±
I squinted a little¡ what the heck, for a moment¡ an old feeling came over me.
No, I wonder why. Sadiz said she doesn¡¯t want to pursue me too deeply, but she was flustered after all.
¡°Hmm, w, well¡ I¡¯ll talk to Kron rather than Jamdi¡¯el. She¡¯s a little bit of a careless natural airhead, but if we talk calmly, I feel like she can understand.¡±
¡°Huh¡ is that right¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s just¡ nheless Jamdi¡¯el won¡¯t stay silent on the situation¡¡±
Three months ago. Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s strength was so far beyond mine that there was nothing I could do about it, no matter how I tried to reverse it.
So I had no choice but to obey quietly.
¡°Little man. The opponent is one of the Six Supremacy, right? She once stood against the Master and Madam¡ a monster that left a mark in history, right?¡±
¡°I know.¡±
Of course, even though I¡¯ve be stronger, I¡¯m not going to pretend that I¡¯m capable of defeating Jamdi¡¯el, who was a Six Supremacy of the Great Demon King.
But¡¡ to be left helpless and unable to resist¡ let alone, silently killed¡ no way in hell am I going to let that be.
¡°What does the Great Demon King say? Naturally, you are well aware of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s power, right? How much of a difference is there between her and Little man today¡¡±
¡ºWell, in a ¡®proper¡¯ fight, even for the current child, victory will be impossible¡ however¡¡»
¡°¡ he possesses some ability and experience, so he can at least read the opponent¡¯s power but ¡ Jamdi¡¯el is unfathomable. With the child as he is, it cannot be done¡ said the Great Demon King?¡±
¡ºStill¡ she will not kill the child who can even use Magical Breathing¡ that is certain. Besides¡¡ for Jamdi¡¯el¡¡»
¡°But, if the Great Demon King was worried about Little man¡¯s safety even for an instant, he would have said that more strongly and raised his sense of crisis ¡¡ so the fact that there is no sign of that, is there something? For example, does Jamdi¡¯el have any weaknesses?¡±
¡ºHmm, there is a weakness. Jamdi¡¯el has¡ a fatal w¡ something that even Hiro and hispanions were unaware of.¡»
¡°But even if there was a weakness¡¡ it would still be too dangerous¡ the other party is¡¡±
¡ºTis a wall that must be ovee eventually. Although, tis reckless to merely delve in without thinking¡ tis necessary to know the power of the opponent, know the power of the self, and still challenge.¡»
¡°Still, having Little man fight Jamdi¡¯el¡ as guidance¡ eh, but¡ no¡¡ Little man already trusts that guidance, and I¡¯ve never done anything¡but¡¡±
Ah¡ are they? Sadiz shouldn¡¯t be able to perceive Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s appearance or voice, but it felt like a subtle conversation has been established¡?
What? Are the people who care about me naturally connected to the conversation?
No, it was a coincidence, but I almostughed.
It may be inappropriate.
Sadiz hasn¡¯t forgiven Tre¡¯ainar, and reconciliation is out of the question.
But now, through my existence¡ is it egotistical of me to think so?
But I also felt a little happy.
¡°Let¡¯s go back to church for now, Sadiz.¡±
¡°Little man¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll be waiting for us.¡±
Yes, for now, if I can¡¯t leave now, let¡¯s go back to church once.
Besides, it looks like we¡¯re having aunch party today.
¡°Is it alright to be so optimistic?¡±
¡ºIt matters not. This was never the goal for the child. But it was a triumph worth the effort.¡»
¡°Well¡ I also want to celebrate Little man¡¯s victory¡¡±
No, you guys are actually talking, aren¡¯t you? I think you can see each other!?
I almost made a retort but held it back.
¡°Little man¡ even if you graduate from me¡ today is like a victory party, so¡ my home cooking¡ can you eat it?¡±
¡°Eh? Yes¡¡ Of course, I¡¯d love to.¡±
¡°¡¡ then¡¡ let¡¯s do that.¡±
And Sadiz seemed to have broken down.
She nodded to me, with a conflicted smile.
¡°Hah~¡¡±
¡°What is it, Sadiz? Suddenly, you sighed¡¡±
¡°No¡ it¡¯s just¡¡ really¡¡ Little man¡ to think you¡¯re all grown up¡ it¡¯s frustrating.¡±
¡°You think so? Well, I wasn¡¯t only training¡ after I left the Imperial City¡ I¡¯ve had a lot of encounters and experiences¡¡±
While walking alongside me on the beach, Sadiz spoke so keenly.
And¡¡
¡°Little man¡ between the time you left the Imperial City and youing here¡e to think of it, you also visited Cantidan, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
¡°By the way, did you meet a Ninja Warrior from Japone, a woman¡ kept calling Little man Honey¡¡±
¡°Eh!? That¡ no way¡ Shinobu?¡±
¡°Nfufufufufu~, it seems you¡¯re bing an adult in that aspect¡ what was it? Did the Great Demon King also teach you how to seduce women?¡±
¡°Y, you¡¯re wrong¡ Shinobu was¡ before that¡ in Honeyborough¡¡±
¡°Honeyborough?¡±
¡°Yeah, there¡¯s also Mr. Aka, he¡¯s an Ogre, and a good friend¡¡±
¡°Huh!? O, Ogre!?.¡±
Before I knew it, I was talking about everything that had happened since I left the Imperial City.
¡°Little man¡ supposing, if you don¡¯t mind¡ I¡¯d like to hear about the¡ encounters and experiences in your time away from us¡¡±
¡°Okay, it¡¯s no problem.¡±
However, the walk back to church wasn¡¯t enough to tell the story.
But I told Sadiz as if I was bragging.
Everything that happened before I came to Cacretale.
To which Sadiz nodded seriously, but with a smile on her face.
I was happy to be able to spend such a casual moment with Sadiz again.
Author¡¯s Note
Yesterday I was in a state of distraction in many ways. As you may know if you¡¯re following my Twitter feed, the night before yesterday I was exhausted. Until now, I¡¯ve been writing because Japan won and I¡¯ve been fired up, but I¡¯ve been so moved that the opposite happened, I couldn¡¯t write. I was so excited that I couldn¡¯t do anything else, so I drank until morning ¡ but I didn¡¯t enter the detention center, right? I didn¡¯t jump into a roadside ditch, okay? I was simply having a full rest yesterday.
Even if the goal was still ahead, it was a good night to float.
* When I woke up in the morning, there was a review called ¡°Spirit¡±! Thank you! It woke me up at once!
Chapter 160 – The Labor of Winning
Chapter 160 - The Labor of Winning
¡°Ah, he¡¯s back! Hey, you¡¯rete!¡±
When I returned to the church, the area around the entrance was already crowded with people, including around the dojo.
¡°W, wow¡¡±
¡°This is, really¡¡±
¡º¡¡ a festival?¡»
Tables are lined up and the food is served on many tters, making it look like a standing room only party.
You can feel the excitement from the people who have already gathered, and in some ces, musical instruments were being yed.
The moment Karui noticed me and Sadiz and raised her voice, the other people who had gathered there all greeted me with smiles and apuse.
¡°Whoa, he¡¯s here, nova boy!¡±
¡°Oh, congrattions!¡±
¡°Congrattions!¡±
There was apuse in the arena, but at that time I was swallowed by the excitement of the match, and I could easily go with the flow to raise my voice and wave.
However, once I calmed down, I was more confused when I was suddenly hit with this much heat.
One after another, the guy of the dojo, the sisters, and the uncles and aunts in town whose names I didn¡¯t even know were apuding, pping my shoulders and shaking my hands.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re here! Excuse me!¡±
¡°Oraa!¡±
¡°Heave-Ho!¡±
¡°Make way for Earth!¡±
Breaking through such a crowd, Mortriage¡¯s crew came rushing to me, and without my consent, the four of them lifted me up.
¡°Whoa, y, you guys! Stop it! It¡¯s embarrassing!¡±
I was one head above the crowd, overlooking everyone.
Those at the end of the crowd were also looking at me.
I was embarrassed, ashamed, but my heart was pounding and I was half smiling.
¡°Little man hase so far¡ uuuugh.¡±
¡º¡¡ I do not mind rewarding his efforts, still this seems a tad excessive¡¡»
Sadiz and Tre¡¯ainar quietly watched over me.
¡°People in this country don¡¯t seem to know that Little man is the son of a hero. In the Empire, no one could see Little man without preconceptions, not even me. But¡ fufufu¡ you found it, Little man. A ce where you can be seen¡ as yourself¡¡±
Or rather, Sadiz seemed deeply moved and was crying a bit.
Anyway, why is this happening?
¡°Ahaha, you¡¯re finally back~, Earth!¡±
¡°Elder Sis Tsukshi! What¡¯s this all about?¡±
Ahead of us, as I was carried and taken down the road, Elder Sis Tsukshi was smiling wryly in an apron.
In the first ce, Elder Sis Tsukshi said that she would cook a lot of treats at the celebration today, but I never imagined this scale.
At best, I thought they would invite some friends and acquaintances to the church cafeteria.
But this level is¡
¡°You know, a lot of people brought in gifts saying ¡®This is for Earth¡¯, and it was too much for just us, so before long¡ this~?¡±
¡°No~¡¡±
¡°Come,e, the guest of honor will be in the middle! The whole city¡¯s going to be in an uproar, and I¡¯m going to be very busy! I¡¯ve got a lot of work to do, and I¡¯m hoping Big sister Sadiz¡¯s will help me out soon!¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi already looked very busy, but also somewhat happy.
Sadiz was also called, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears and ran up with a smile.
¡°Older Brother!¡±
And this time, Amae came running up.
On the te in her hand was a sd with vegetables on it, though it looked a little clunky.
¡°Oh, Amae¡±
¡°Look, Older Brother, Amae, cooked it, I cooked! Un!¡±
Saying that, Amae puffed her chest with a smug face.
Uh huh, it¡¯s a dish that makes the most of the ingredients. Uh huh.
I don¡¯t really, like vegetables much¡ no¡¡
¡°Oh, I see. Then I¡¯ll have a bite.¡±
¡°Un!¡±
I don¡¯t have a fork right now, so I just use my hand. I pick up a tomato with dressing on it.
Hmm, the taste of the ingredients and her cuteness should create a synergistic effect.
¡°Oh, oh¡ it¡¯s delicious, Amae. Thank you. You¡¯re so good at it.¡±
¡°Mufuu! Un!¡±
Hearing that, she snorted and seemed happy. Oh, maybe today I could eat as much vegetables as I want.
¡°Yes, Karui. Where¡¯s Mr. Machio?¡±
¡°He¡¯s still recovering in bed. When he uses that power, he won¡¯t be able to move properly for a few days¡¡±
¡°I see. Well, I¡¯ll check on himter.¡±
¡°Yes, please!¡±
Apparently, Mr. Machio won¡¯t be here.
Hmm? Then again, Wacha¡¯s not here either?
Jos¨¦¡ doesn¡¯t matter, enough of that for now.
¡°I mean¡ what the heck! Most of the guys I faced in the tournament aren¡¯t here?¡±
Even though I see glimpses of the other guys, there aren¡¯t many people who fought against me, it¡¯s a bit of a lonely situation.
Anyway, I¡¯m a little worried that Wacha isn¡¯t there¡ that guy¡ there was something I wanted to ask.
And then¡¡
¡°What, you¡¯re not satisfied with just me?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°Hey, chug this down!
It was Jawara, who I fought in the second round. Apparently, he¡¯s the only one who showed up, and he gave me a cup with a smile on his face.
And then, the other contestants gradually began to gather around.
¡°Look look, what are you upset about?¡±
¡°Come on, drink up! Wanna touch my bottom?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t believe Machio lost¡ but my crotch won¡¯t lose!¡±
¡°Absolutely, I¡¯ll have to rewrite the data again.¡±
When the tournament was over, and the battle was over, and there was no friend or foe, everybody wasughing and having fun like idiots.
At first I was a little confused by the mood, but then I started to enjoy it and decided to just drop it and join the frolic.
¡°Alright, then, cheers!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±OOOOOOOOOOOOOOeehhh!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
I crudely bumped cups with these annoying grown men, and just took the drink that was handed to me in one gulp¡ hmm?
¡°Eh!!??¡±
W, hat!? No, what is this smell!? That? It¡¯s chilly, but my body is getting nice and warm¡
¡°Hmm? What ¡ Ah¡¡±
¡°Hey, wait a minute! Isn¡¯t he only 15?¡±
¡°Ah¡ th, that¡¯s not good!¡±
¡°Jawara, you idiot! What are you doing!¡±
¡°¡¡ th, this is¡¡±
Ayye~? Wha is~? The world~ is shaking~?
¡ºHold on, ch, child!?¡»
¡°Hmm? There seems to be some kind ofmotion at¡ Little man!? Your face is red, wait, what is?!¡±
¡°Eerr? What¡¯s wrong with big brother!?¡±
¡°Older Brother?¡±
¡°Wait a minute, quick Big Sister Sadiz¡ its Earth!?¡±
Hmmm¡ things are getting really fun. But it¡¯s so hot. Everyone¡¯s spinning around in threes and fours.
It can¡¯t be helped.
¡°Uuuuk, too hot¡ I¡¯m gonna undress.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Wai, h, heeeeeeey!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Hey, kid! Why¡ well, if you want to take it off, take it off!¡±
¡°Whoa, all of a sudden! Alright! I¡¯ll take mine off too! I won¡¯t lose!¡±
Take off the clothes. Fold em. Hurray!
¡ºNuh, you! this child and alcohol¡ unsavory, tis just like time with Bro¡¡»
¡°Little man!?¡±
¡°Hold on, big brother!?¡±
¡°Oh~¡¡ it¡¯s swishy.¡±
¡°Earth! What are you doing in front of everyone?¡±
Hmm? Oh, everyone look¡ oh, Sadiz. Yes, it¡¯s Sadiz.
¡°Hey, Sadiz~¡±
¡°Little man! Just hold on to me, ah~,e on, somebody get some water! And, Little man, it¡¯s not safe for you to be naked!¡±
¡°It¡¯s fiiiiiiinnee, I, wanna ask a favor, Sadiz!¡±
¡°Eh? A favor¡ is it?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right~, why are being so silly? Sadiz~, you promised~?¡±
¡°P, promised¡ what?¡±
Geez, did you forget Sadiz? You made it to me!
If don¡¯t keep your promise, you can¡¯t bye bye me!
¡°For winning, boobies!¡±
¡°Uh, ehh?¡±
If I win, I can do as I like with boobies!

Sadiz¡¯s bursting boobies!
¡°¡±¡±¡±Wai¡¡¡¡¡ haaaaaah!!?? B, bo, boob¡ what are you saying!?¡±¡±¡±¡±

¡°Hmm~?¡±
Heh~, what¡¯s up with Tre¡¯ainar? Why can¡¯t I go for Sadiz¡¯s titties?
It¡¯s fine!
¡°Because¡ cause¡¡ I¡¡ can¡¯t help it, Imma boy!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±This guys no good, something has to be done, a new hero had just been born!¡±¡±¡±¡±
No~, it¡¯s not no good. It¡¯s the world that¡¯s spinning in circles right now that¡¯s no good.
¡ºChild¡ control your breathing and drink water¡¡»
¡°Yesh~?¡±
¡ºDurd, do not speak to me aloud!¡»
¡°Mmm, it¡¯s fine~ ¡ I wanna talk more~¡¡ I won the championship, praise me more.¡±
And, please praise me more master~. I reeaaly did my beeest.

¡ºFah!? Ah ¡ ga ¡ m¡ mo, moron! Y, your sudden deration brings me no joy! Or rather, tis why you should cease addressing me this instance!¡»
Uh~, why you fuming~? Tre¡¯ainar.
I like talking with Tre¡¯ainar~¡
¡°Wa, waitaminit, this is seriously bad! He¡¯s suddenly talking to himself¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ you¡¯re hallucinating¡¡±

¡ºHmm? You cur¡¡ indeed¡¡ I see. Tis your second time partaking in alcohol, so you have gained some resistance, or have you recovered a little sobriety?¡»
Recovered? No, my head still hurts, but¡ wait a bit, feel like I¡¯m going to vomit, but¡ what the hell?
I don¡¯t feel good. My head hurts. I got a little carried away with the whole ¡°do whatever you want¡± thing, but that¡¯s not right.
I¡¡ why would I do that¡
¡°Nfufufu, yes, Little man¡ certainly¡¡ I made such a promise. Oh my? What¡¯s wrong with you? Little man. Your face suddenly turned pale, didn¡¯t it?¡±
The moment I saw Sadiz¡¯s signature smile, I felt a sense of intimidation, or rather I felt the air at absolute zero, my fever gradually cooled down.
The buzzing and themotion around me started to be vaguely recognizable¡
¡°Now then¡ the promise was for winning the graduation match¡ well, this victory isparable to that¡ no, it surpasses that. In fact, with Little man¡¯s current ability, victory in the graduation match would have been a cinch.¡±
Oh, this, might be bad.
Ah, what is this? This nostalgic feeling. When Sadiz found an ero-book I was hiding, didn¡¯t she make me sit on the floor and give me a lecture?
¡°However, it was inappropriate for you to say that in public like this, wasn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Y, yes!¡±
Ah, when I noticed, my body¡ my instinct naturally pushed me, and I sat on the ground.
No. When I was drunkst time, I didn¡¯t remember much, but now I¡¯m reasonably conscious.
Because I¡¯m scared.
¡°Sadiz, th¡ that¡¯s different!¡±
¡°Yes? Little man¡ what¡¯s the difference?¡±
Ah damn ah damn ah damn! Sadiz was quite angry¡ anyway, I have to apologize and somehow dodge the issue!
¡°You know, I, I was a little drunk when I said that¡ but I¡¯m all right now! Yes, I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Th, that old promise, it¡¯s got to be a joke. After all¡ something like, b, boo¡ even if you don¡¯t¡ I¡¯ve received your full feelings!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah, suddenly he¡¯s a wuss¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
Shut uuuuuup! I mean, in this situation, that¡¯s all I can say¡ª¨D¨D¨D
¡°Little man¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
And I straightened up in haste.
¡°Little man, alcohol is really dangerous. No matter who you are, no matter the hero, no matter the noble status, alcohol has always been able to ruin everything umted so far in an instant. It¡¯s been amon urrence for a long time.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°At such times, everyone makes excuses like, ¡®I was drunk¡¯, but it doesn¡¯t matter whether they were drunk or not. Rather, the words thate out when drunk and loose of reasoning are the true nature of that person. People around you will recognize that as your human nature.¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes.¡±
¡°This time, Little man was so ted by his victory, that he even said things that he didn¡¯t mean to say¡ maybe that was unavoidable, but that¡¯s what I think because it¡¯s me, it is not always possible for other people to judge you as I would. On the contrary, there may have been some people who were disappointed with Little man.¡±
¡°Yes¡¡±
¡°People often hear the word ¡®free and easy gathering¡¯ in a setting like this¡ that doesn¡¯t mean that everything is irresponsible. Of course, how you behave and what you saye with responsibility. Some people may forgive ¡®boobs¡¯ as a joke after getting drunk with alcohol, while others will not. So if you¡¯re not forgiven, won¡¯t they naturally be angry about it?¡±
¡°¡¡ es¡¡±
I felt despondent and showed some remorse.
I mean, even though I was drunk, why did you make the promise five months ago¡ mostly, I¡¯ve had enough of boobs.
Certainly, I dreamed of Sadiz¡¯s boobs.
But, enough, I don¡¯t want to hear about em anymore.
Generally speaking, Shinobu¡¯s chest is not devastating at all, but she¡¯s a good person and a beautiful woman¡ and Kron is really cute¡ well, I haven¡¯t done anything with those two yet¡ no, but Shinobu confessed to me, also¡ I think Kron wille to my room tonight¡ but I can¡¯t say that.
That kind of thing¡¡ that¡¯s¡ starting with the exchange diary, we then get matching essories, share a single umbre as a couple, carve our names on lockets, attach them somewhere, and ring the bells on a hill together¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ boobs will be an event after bing a man and a woman who finished going through the process!
I wanted it as an extra prize for winning, and I was wrong!
From the beginning¡¡ I¡¡ was wrong¡¡
¡°In any case¡ I¡¯ll give you a little talk in your room.¡±
¡°Nuo!?¡±
At that moment, Sadiz grabbed my arm and dragged me away while emitting a terrifying aura with a very nice smile.
I don¡¯t know when she picked it up, but she was holding my clothes that I had taken off and folded under her arm¡ I¡¯m naked!?
Ah, they¡¯re thin, but her arms are strong. Resistance? No, now I¡¯m more afraid of going against her.
¡°Um¡ Big Sister Sadiz?¡±
¡°Ah, big brother was just ying a prank, like that ¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Somehow?¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeehhh!!??¡±¡±
And that would have been what everyone gathered here thought.
The contestants and the people in the dojo were also speechless, their faces involuntarily pulled into a grimace.
Even though there are people who are far stronger than ordinary, no one could resist Sadiz with one of her pressured smiles.
So, with no one to help me, eventually I was dragged into my room¡
¡º¡¡¡¡¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar was somewhat silent, but with a huge squint in his eyes, like he¡¯s dumbfounded¡ no, say something!? Your silence hurts.
¡°Ha~¡¡ now¡¡ Little man¡±
Sadiz threw me into the room that I have been using for thest three months, and even locked the door with a click.
¡°Sadiz¡ I, I¡¯m sorry¡ really¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°That was a little carried away¡ and I¡¯m really sorry ¡¡ for acting so disgraceful¡¡±
I sat upright on the floor and bowed my head.
What a terrifyingly shameful sight. Pathetic.
But, it¡¯s okay. I apologized honestly when I should apologize.
¡°¡¡ ha~¡¡ really¡¡ at such a ce, in the end Little man is¡¡±
And Sadiz then¡ passed beside me and ¡ huh?
Sat on the bed¡
¡°Little man¡ I¡¯m not particrly mad¡ argh, but you shouldn¡¯t say that in such a situation¡ in the first ce¡ a promise is ¡ a promise.¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°As I said earlier¡¡ naturally, what you sayes with responsibility¡ let alone, if it¡¯s a promise¡¡±
¡°Ha?¡±
¡°That being the case¡ by all means¡¡ Little man.¡±
Fueh!? ¡¡ eh?
Chapter 162 – Unforgivable, Get Wrecked
Chapter 162 - Unforgivable, Get Wrecked
Right now¡¡ what?
Somehow, there is something very seductive about the air from Sadiz¡
¡°Eh? Umm¡¡ Sadiz?¡±
¡°Yes¡±
¡°¡¡ what¡¡±
¡°So¡ a promise is¡ a promise.¡±
¡°Well, but I¡¯ve already graduated from Sadiz¡ so you don¡¯t have to force yourself to keep the promise¡¡±
Even though I was the one who started it all, I can¡¯t contain my agitation at Sadiz¡¯s unexpected actions and words.
I got heated once I drank alcohol, but I got scared of Sadiz and cooled down, and then I came here and my body got heated again, and my head started spinning.
¡°I¡¯m not ¡¡ forcing myself¡¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
You¡¯re not forcing it?
¡°Why would¡ you do¡ this¡?¡±
¡°D, do you really have to ask me that!?¡±
¡°B, because¡ erm¡¡ it took so long¡ to face Sadiz¡ here, again but, if I do something stupid, you might dislike me¡ or hate me¡¡±
Truth is, I really want to jump on her right away.
But, I put the maximum amount of restraint on my still drunken head, and clenched my fists as much as I could to endure.
Because, with this here¡ things might get really awkward with Sadiz¡ and I was more afraid of that than of what might happen.
But Sadiz slowly reached out and stroked my cheek¡
¡°Th, that¡¯s¡ not something I think you should worry about, Little man.¡±
¡°Eh¡¡±
¡°I also¡ don¡¯t have any experience, so I might not be convincing¡ even if it¡¯s too much¡ I wouldn¡¯t dislike¡¡ you, much less, hate you¡ no matter what you do to me¡ Little man¡¡±
I don¡¯t dislike it. Moreover, Sadiz doesn¡¯t seem to dislike it either¡ but rather¡¡
¡°I, is¡ that so? It¡¯s not like you¡¯re holding back to make amends with me or anything¡¡±
¡°Little man¡ I¡¯m also¡¡ a woman, you know? I¡¯d rather die than let you touch my breasts just to make amends.¡±
¡°Phafu!?¡±
¡°Also¡ for me¡ I would rather¡¡ learn of this kind of thing¡ with Little man¡
At that moment, something in my head was about to break, but the thread I was holding on to was¡
¡°Ah¡ oh, aaaaaaaahh¡ b, but¡ like this¡¡±
¡°Little man¡ don¡¯t worry¡¡ I¡¯ll keep it a secret¡ from the Master and Madam.¡±
¡°Fah!?¡±
Pichin It just got cut off.
Sadiz, sitting on the bed, smiled with a ¡°womanly¡± face, perhaps trying to maintain her position as an older woman, shyly put her index finger on her mouth and made a quiet ¡°shhh~¡± pose¡ I was almost sucked into it, so naturally I put my hands forward¡
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Hi, ah, eh, Sadiz?¡±
However, the moment my hand tried to touch Sadiz¡¯s twin mounds, she made a surprised voice¡ eh? What? Was that bad?
¡°Oh, no¡ sorry¡¡ I didn¡¯t expect it to be over my clothes.¡±
¡°¡¡¡?¡±
¡°Ah, no, no, that ¡ unless Little man is happy with it ¡¡±
You didn¡¯t think it would be from over your clothes?
¡°Not¡ over your clothes¡ tsu!? Eh?! Eh, eeeh!?¡±
¡°Ah, Li, tle, no¡ n, not at all, but still¡¡±
¡°Ju ju, juuuu, st noooooow, wh, wha, at!?¡±
¡°Li, Little man! D, do, do, do, don¡¯t¡ g, get too eager, please. I¡¯m not going anywhere.¡±
Not rubbing it over the clothes¡ so what was Sadiz thinking?
Eh? When I asked for tits, what did you think I was talking about?
¡°Ah¡ erm¡¡ o¡ okay?
¡°Well¡ erm¡¡ I, I didn¡¯t particrly mind¡ from the beginning¡¡±
Hmm!?! Sadiz looked away¡ her face was bright red!? Is Sadiz bashful? Are you shy!?
I¡¯ve never seen Sadiz like this before!? What is this, so cute!!
¡°Well, I don¡¯t have any experience¡ it may be a difficult task for the squishy virgin Little man¡ s, so if possible, at first, take your time¡¡±
Sadiz¡¯s eyes twitched while lightly biting the second joint of her index finger at the mouth.
¡°Slo, ly!? I¡¯ll slowly take my time, if I may?¡±
Idiot, why am I speaking so politely?
¡°Little man¡ erm¡¡ if you don¡¯t mind¡¡ give me a hand with the back of the top¡ er¡¡ the hook¡¡±
¡°What¡ ah¡¡ hook?¡±
Sadiz, dressed in cheerleading gear, lifted her top a little higher.
I can see her slender waist¡¡ and the navel in the middle¡ I can see a little bit of whitece cloth¨D¨D¨D¨D!?
¡°Little man¡ a hand from the back¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ wa¡ uh¡ ah¡¡±
Sadiz turned her back to me once before something white waspletely in my sight. You want me to unhook what with my hand on your back!?
Oh, I see ¡¡ on her back. Should I take this off?
¡°Th, th, thithithi this it?¡±
¡°Ah!?¡±
¡°Huh, eh, uh¡ sorry¡¡±
My hands were trembling and my nails touched Sadiz¡¯s back¡ but Sadiz was ticklish rather than hurt¡ and she was giggling¡
¡°Little man¡ don¡¯t be so flustered. A girl may not think well of you if you are aggressive and identally rip her to shreds. Please remember.¡±
¡°S, sor¡ ry¡¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t require any effort. Just move your fingers a bit¡¡±
¡°R, right¡ sorry, I didn¡¯t know¡¡±
¡°¡¡ shall I take it off myself?¡±
¡°No, let me take it off¡ I, can do it¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, this is¡ Lesson 1? Fight on, Little man.¡±
Even from over her back, I could see that Sadiz¡¯s face was turning bright red.
I¡¡ ah~, but I was confessed to by Shinobu, and I have to talk to Kron today, but her boobs are extra desserts? No, am I really okay with that?
¨D¨D I like you, honey!
¨D¨D Earth, how do you do?
No, I¡¯m not! As for me¡¡ no one really saw me as me in the Imperial City, but they saw me as me¡ Shinobu told me that she liked me. Kron listened to me.
So¡¡ what should I do? I want to touch them. Hmm? That? I can¡¯t get my thoughts together!
However, this seemed to be a turning point in many ways.
At the very least, if I touch them only in the name of reward, maybe I¡¯ll be scorned for life¡ at the same time, my finger touched the hook. Touched her underwear as well. It felt a bit rough.
Just slide this slowly to the side¡
¡°Big Brother~ It¡¯s terrible~!!??.¡±
And, at that moment.
¡°¡± ¡?¡±¡±
I heard the sound of running down the corridor and Karui¡¯s noisy voice¡ at the same time, from the outside, something like a scream¡ what?
¡°It¡¯s a disaster! Somehow, somehow¡ outside, Senior Jos¨¦ showed up¡ and suddenly demanded, we bring big brother out¡ ¡®A match is not a rehearsal, but a real fight¡¯¡ he¡¯s not normal!¡±
As soon as I realized¡ hahaha¡ that bastard¡
¡°¡¡ Little man?¡±
¡°¡¡ n, no¡ it¡¯s nothinge on just a little¡¡±
Why now of all times!? At least, at least one rub¡
¡°Big brother! Hey! Sadiz, this is no time to be angry with big brother! Big brother!¡±
¡°¡± ¡¡¡¡¡±¡±
Karui was knocking on the locked door, making a lot of noise.
No, right now I¡¯m, in the middle of something ¡ I mean, Jos¨¦?
Of all people, a bastard that I wholeheartedly didn¡¯t care about showed up, so what the hell¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah.¡±
At that moment, the wall of the room exploded like a blowout.
¡°¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±
We jumped out of bed when we sensed the presence.
And from behind the broken wall, were screams and¡
¡°Fuh~, huh~, fuh~, huh~¡e on out¡ even though I don¡¯t care about the ¡¡ oue of such a friendly festive romp¡ that¡¯s how my girls got hurt¡ Kofu, Kofu¡ it¡¯s your fault! I¡¯m going to beat you! And it¡¯s not like a match, you know, the rigors of a real fight is¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
There¡¯s something terribly wrong with his face¡ the nerves and blood vessels were exposed, his breathing wasbored, he was incoherent, and eyes were bloodshot.
¡°Y¡¡ ou.¡±
¡°You¡¯reing out, aren¡¯t you? Zee~, zee~ ¡¡ ugh, pu ¡¡ ha~, ha~ ¡ since we¡¯re going into a real fight¡ be prepared to be hunted yourself¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I don¡¯t caaaaaaaaaaare!¡±
¡°Hebu!?¡±
I really didn¡¯t care, but I punched him and sent him flying anyway.
¡°Damn it¡ gah¡¡ such a nuisance¡ I was so close¡ damniiiiiiiiiiiiit, what do you have against me? What kind of misfortune is this?!!¡±
To be honest, I punched Jos¨¦ the moment I saw his face, so I still don¡¯t know the situation outside.
But still, I cursed my misfortune in this situation that I had been put on hold.
But¡¡
¡ºNo¡ it is I who suffers the most misfortune, while privy to the whole situation, I was made an outcast in the corner of the room, remaining silent so as not to interrupt¡ or rather, I believe I had render a rather great favor¡¡»
Ah ¡ somehow¡ Tre¡¯ainar just sat in the corner of the room, muttering sadly.
¡ºAs such, do get dressed.¡»
¡°¡¡ ah.¡±
And I hurriedly put on my clothes.
Chapter 163 – Obstacle in the Way of Love
Chapter 163 - Obstacle in the Way of Love
Just as I was about to reach the top of that hill that I had been chasing for over a decade, I was interrupted.
Like hell I will forgive this, but as I put on my clothes and stepped outside the wall, there was only confusion.
¡°Whoa ¡ this is¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ how terrible¡¡±
Both I and Sadiz spoke out involuntarily.
There were destroyed buildings and cracks on the ground.
¡°Damn, what¡¯s with that guy?¡±
¡°Hey, Jos¨¦, exin yourself!¡±
¡°How cruel¡by the goddess¡ what a mess ¡¡±
The townspeople stared at Jos¨¦ suspiciously as he backed away from the scene in fear.
¡°Hey, youngster. To suddenly lose control like that¡¡±
¡°Darn brat, don¡¯t think you¡¯ll get away with this!¡±
¡°This is inexcusable!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to smash that ass!¡±
¡°And then, I¡¯ll destroy your crotch.¡±
In addition, the strong men were likely to jump on Jos¨¦ at any moment with an angry expression.
But they don¡¯t matter.
The problem is¡¡
¡°Higgu, ugh, eehn~¡ eehn~¡¡±
Maybe Jos¨¦ went on a little rampage before destroying the walls of the church to look for me, the food on the table that was prepared was ruined, scattered to the ground among broken tes.
And, on the spot, weeping in front of a small broken te and a dirty ¡°distorted shaped sandwich¡± that had fallen to the ground¡
¡°I made a ¡¡ sandwich for Older brother¡ but¡he didn¡¯t eat, it¡higu¡u, uugh.¡±
¡°Huh!? Ama¡ e¡¡±
¡°Hi¡ ugh¡ Older brother¡¡±
This guy¡ not only did he get in my way¡ he¡¡ even my little sister! Aah ¡ really¡¡
¡°Kuh, a surprise attack¡ I can¡¯t believe you had to do something as cowardly as ¡¡ surprise attack to win¡ ha~, ha~¡ Kill¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Bastard!! Die nine times oveeeeeeeeeer!!¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
The moment he got his staggering body up after eating my punch, I mmed into the body of the fucking bastard with a screwed fist.
¡°Ga¡ kah¡ kuh! I¡¯m the one, who¡¯s going to end you, idiot! My magic¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I mean, what are you even here for? Aaah? At this point, what the hell are you doing?¡±
¡°Goho!?¡±
As I punched him, I noticed that his body had hardened slightly.
In other words, he had taken that potion again.
And as far as this guy¡¯s situation is concerned, there was even more of it¡ how is that?
¡°This is stupid. Now, even in a situation where you¡¯re that fragile, this is the best you can do¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t beat me like this, even if you drink that potion until you die!¡±
¡°Gaha ¡ Guga ¡°
He¡¯s got unnaturally developed abdominal muscles. But it¡¯s not ¡°the abdominal muscles you get by clenching your teeth to withstand any impact¡±.
Just broken abdominal muscles.
I crushed them.
¡°tsu ¡¡ bear it pu¡¡±
He dabbled in drugs and stuff, his mind got messed up, and he ran amok, in the end it all came undone.
Jos¨¦ soon got down on one knee and was gagging again.
And then¡¡
¡°There he is! Eh¡ Jos¨¦, stop it!¡±
¡°Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Jos¨¦, you can¡¯t do this anymore¡¡±
¡°Senior¡ enough, something like this¡¡±
It was the five bitches, running while gasping for air.
The shing woman who intruded into my match seemed to have been released, but her sword must have been confiscated and she was empty-handed.
But the expression on her face had changed from the flowery look she had this morning, and it was clear to see how terribly dejected she was.
¡°What the hell is wrong with you people¡ to think that you were so humble after all that embarrassment¡¡±
¡°N, no, sorry, forgive me! Jos¨¦¡ when he woke up, he was suddenly like this¡ please¡¡ we, beg you!¡±
When I asked with a strong re, the women trembled as if they were frightened, but asked for help.
Apparently, this was against their will, and it seemed that Jos¨¦ had begun to rampage on his own.
¡°Hah~, hah~ ¡ what is it ¡?¡±
To those women, Jos¨¦ gave an annoyed expression.
¡°That¡¯s enough, Jos¨¦. So¡¡ let¡¯s stop now. We lost this time, but¡ we¡¯ll keep putting in the effort, and someday¡¡±
¡°Hah~, hah~¡ uhp¡ effort?¡±
¡°Yes, we¡¯ll support you too¡ so¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Sh*t No. 1 snuggled up to Jos¨¦ and called out in support of the man who was hurt both physically and mentally, but who was still their stronghold.
But when Jos¨¦ heard those words¡
¡°Shut up! You guys don¡¯t understand! I¡¯m the strongest invincible unrivaled cheat great sage! What do you know about me! Don¡¯t say anything selfish even if you don¡¯t know me!¡±
¡°Kyah!? ¡¡ tsu¡¡ eh?¡±
¡°Hah~, hah~, annoying.¡±
¡°Jo¡ Jos¨¦?¡±
There was a sharp, dry sound. It was the sound of Jos¨¦ shaking off the woman who was leaning on him and his hand hitting her cheek.
¡°Chiyo!?¡±
¡°Hey¡ Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Sen¡ ior?¡±
The other women¡¯s faces turned pale at the sight, and they cried as they rushed to the beaten woman, their whole bodies trembling.
¡°Hey hey, this is¡¡±
¡°A woman¡¯s face¡ this fellow!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t stand this kid anymore!¡±
¡°Besides being a loser, you¡¯re also unmanly!¡±
Of course, the people around me who were watching them all raised their voices.
But Jos¨¦ wasn¡¯t afraid at all¡
¡°Silence! It¡¯s all about this guy¡ yes, you!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°He¡¯s trying to take ¡¡ my woman away from me! I can¡¯t let that happen!¡±
¡°¡?¡±
Jos¨¦ pointed at me¡ eh?
¡°¡¡¡¡ huh?¡±
No, my anger dropped for a moment at the unexpected words, and I tilted my head.
¡°Eh, big brother?¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Thed?¡±
¡°¡¡ Little man?¡±
Everyone¡¯s eyes were directed at the same time. But I didn¡¯t really understand any of this.
¡°Wai, wait a minute! When did I try to steal a woman from you! I mean, wha? Your girls are those five over there, right? A bitch group called the Jos¨¦ Girls! Far from being interested in sh*ts like that, I don¡¯t want to see their faces!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Whoa¡ exaggerate much¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone in the town was retorting all at once against me, but there were no lies here.
I had no interest in the five bitches called the Jos¨¦ Girls.
But Jos¨¦¡¯s eyes were bloodshot¡
¡°No, not them! It¡¯s the one I¡¯ve been determined to get!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡ huh?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to marry everyone, but¡ this one is¡ the one destined to marry me no matter what! You took her from me!
I was stunned for a while by apletely unexpected word.
¡°Jos¨¦¡ no way¡¡ is that true? What¡¡ are you talking about?
¡°Jos¨¦, please, tell me it¡¯s a lie¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°We¡ isn¡¯t that just?¡±
¡°Sen, ior¡ wha¡¡ what¡¯s going on¡¡±
And all the women were weeping in despair¡ well, that¡¯s not important¡
¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter who you marry or how you get married¡ who is this woman I was trying to steal in the first ce?¡±
Yes, I¡¯m so angry that this guy is trying to kill me, and I¡¯m wondering who he¡¯s talking about when he says ¡°he¡¯s trying to take my girl¡±.
The answer is¡
¡°Don¡¯t y dumb! I¡¯m not going to let you have¡ the goddess¡ Goddess Kron¡ Kron is all I have eyes for¡ Kron is the woman who is tied to me! My woman!¡±
¡°Ha?¡±
No way ¡ Kron?
¡°EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!!?? K, Kron is your woman¡ eeeeeeh!? Hey, eeeeh!? You guys were like that!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
This was so unexpected that not only me, but the whole city screamed in surprise.
Because, Kron with that kind of air is¡
¡°Because we two are a couple that was destined to be!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Aahnnn?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure! The other day, when I passed Kron on the street, our eyes met for a moment and she smiled! No matter how you think about it, it must mean that she likes me! The smile of the goddess in love¡ even I, who is called dense, could tell!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±They just passed each other and your eyes met¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°She smiled at me on the day of the church congregation¡ I¡¯m sure of it!
¡°¡±¡±¡±At the time of the congregation?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Even when I fell¡ she asked, ¡®Are you all right?¡¯, and no matter how you think about it, it can¡¯t be anything but love for me!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡ Wow¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
This is¡ what is this¡¡ something that just got blurted out, but she ¡¡ smiled when your eyes meet? That goddess usually smiles at everyone, doesn¡¯t she?
Look, both the aunt there and the old man over there are saying ¡°I was smiled at too¡±, ¡°Hoho, I also got a smile from the goddess¡±!?
Mostly, Kron was smiling the entire time she was with me.
However, it¡¯s strange. This guy misunderstood something ¡ no¡¡ that¡¯s some kind of egotistical hubris¡
Nuh¡ this is¡¡±
And Tre¡¯ainar was greatly perplexed¡
Loss of hearing, stumbling over nothing, bing indifferent and insensitive to one¡¯s surroundings¡ and no sooner, sudden anxiety about the gaze of the surroundings, subjective impressions, propensity for violence and irritability¡ well, tis also a sign of the stated side effects, tis all there is¡¡±
¡°Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
See someone with such assumptions and misunderstandings¡ tis as if I were looking at a Jamdi¡¯el¡ in various ways¡ child¡¡ end it.¡±
Somehow, he was exhaling a very weary sigh.
But before I said anything¡
¡°Hiy¡ uh¡ the goddess likes Older brother!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Eh???.¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Amae?¡±
¡°Hmm? What, you¡ is older brother me?¡±
¡°Wrong, Amae¡¯s older brother is me¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
Amae who was shedding tears¡
¡°Because, Amae and older brother¡ took a bath with the goddess!!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ huh?¡±
The terra ss destructive power of her ignorance was unleashed.
Chapter 164 – The Goddess’ Coup de Grace
Chapter 164 - The Goddess¡¯ Coup de Grace
¡°A bath with Kron¡!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh¡ that is¡¡ in another sense¡ what exactly does that mean?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Little man¡ to think that at some point¡ that cker Little man became such a fast learner¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ ahahaha¡ big brother¡ don¡¯t worry about it¡±
Everyone¡¯s gaze was turned to me all at once.
¡°It¡¯s true! The goddess wiped older brother¡¯s back. The goddess says. How do you do to him almost every day? And Older brother¡¯s din¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Amae, please be quiet! I¡¯ll buy you a lot of sweetster! Older brother won the championship, so he has a lot of money!¡±
I got a lot of suspicious looks, some slightly disgusted faces, and face-to-face¡
¡°Y, ou, you, is that true?¡±
¡°W, wait, no, um¡ for now, you, don¡¯t pull out the potion and calm down. There¡¯s an excuse as well¡ I¡¯ll give an exnation.¡±
¡°What exnation! Don¡¯t be silly!¡±
If you take away Jos¨¦¡¯s assumptions and misconceptions¡¡±The woman he likes took a bath with the man who publicly beat him up¡± it¡¯s too pathetic.
¡°I was saved by the goddess Kron¡ For the first time in my life, I fell in love! Yes, Kron is my destiny! That¡¯s why I won¡¯t let anyone take Kron away from me! Even The High Priestess wants Kron and I to have a child!¡±
¡°W, wait, calm down. I don¡¯t understand you, but I do understand what¡¯s happening now¡¡±
¡°Even today, my n¡ you¡¯ve ruined everything! Kron is surely grieving right now!¡±
¡°O, okay, I understand, so calm down. I don¡¯t want to do it in the first ce either¡¡±
When I noticed, my initial anger had gone away, and now I was trying to appease Jos¨¦.
¡°Hey ¡ you¡¡ did Kron actually¡ say she liked you ¡?¡±
¡°Such is life, I know I¡¯m called thickheaded! But I¡¯m the strongest invincible cheat! There¡¯s no woman who wouldn¡¯t fall in love with me!¡±
Aaah Come On¡
¡°¡hey¡anybody¡ if there¡¯s someone who agrees with what he just said, raise your hand.¡±
¡°¡±No, not at all¡¡±
For the time being, considering the possibility that my thoughts might be out of line, I asked the people who had gathered just in case, but everyone was amazed and let out a sigh of disgust.
¡°Shut up, it¡¯s an idea that¡¯s beyond the reach of a lowlife like you! Besides, it¡¯s not right that you won the tournament and got Kron!¡±
¡°Or rather¡¡ won the tournament and Kron¡¡±
¡°Look here, I want to experience my first time with Kron in a beautiful body! I¡¯m pure! It¡¯s pure love! Like hell will I give it to a bastard like you!¡±
In the first ce, it wasn¡¯t officially stated that winning the tournament would mean I get Kron.
Sure enough, most of the people in the crowd are tilting their heads. Except for the sisters.
But apparently they knew about the supplementary prize.
¡°Wait, didn¡¯t you say you would marry the Jos¨¦ girls there¡ if you win the tournament? ¡°
¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m going to marry them after I win the tournament and get Kron!¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?
¡°Because my first wife will be Kron! And I¡¯m going to marry all the others at the same time, so that¡¯s fine!¡±
¡°Ah~¡ no good. I took him a bit seriously, but I don¡¯t get it.¡±
Even so¡ humans¡¡ I don¡¯t know, is it possible for a personality to just copse?
I don¡¯t see any sign of the person he used to be. He¡¯s the same irritable sh*t, but¡ broken
¡ºAt the best of times, for those in the terminal stage due to the side effects of the potion¡ I believe he had administered much more. For the sake of transient power. As such, his mind has alreadypletely copsed.¡»
In response to my murmur, Tre¡¯ainar looked at Jos¨¦ with pitiful eyes.
What?
Whatever his original personality, I drove him into a corner ¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡ºYou cannot possibly believe that! I care not for such junkie scum. Cur, what do you think of me?¡»
¡¸¡¡ tsu¡¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡¹
Before I could say something a little unfaithful, Tre¡¯ainar red at me with a slightly angry expression.
Apparently, Tre¡¯ainar really hates Jos¨¦.
But, what do you do?
And then¡¡
¡°Ara~, it¡¯s quite noisy, but¡¡ oh my, what¡¯s this all about~?¡¯
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡ eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Oh, this is what you call a banquet, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Hearing themotion, Kron came out of the church¡ I mean, she returned home first.
It seemed that the misguided goddess thinks that the disaster currently taking ce is a banquet being enjoyed, and furthermore¡
¡°Oh, Earth, wee back!¡±
¡°Oh¡ Kron¡¡±
Kron looked at me and smiled¡ Ah, you see, Jos¨¦, who¡¯s got all battered, is ring at me, isn¡¯t he? What? Don¡¯t you see it?
¡°Earth, just the right time, I have something I¡¯ve been meaning to tell you when you get back.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°I¡ I have a favor to ask of you.¡±
Rather, Kron stared at me and wasn¡¯t looking around anymore.
Just staring at me with those innocent eyes¡
¡°Actually, I¡ by god¡¯s will, am destined to be bound to the winner of the tournament and give birth to the God of the next generation.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±It was true after all¡?¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, what had only been an expectation until now was finally clearly acknowledged as a fact.
If you win this tournament, you will be tied with Kron to make a child¡
¡¸God¡¯s will?¡¹
¡ºTis yoooooours, Jamdi¡¯el! Such foolish, self-serving statements!¡»
Of course, Tre¡¯ainar had nothing to do with this.
It¡¯s not about God, it¡¯s all about the Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s own ideas.
In a sense, Kron was also being deceived, or talked into it.
Yes, Kron¡ Jos¨¦ too¡ they may¡ actually be victims.
But Kron¡
¡°And I, for one, want a lot of Earth babies! I know I¡¯m inept but from today, you can have me!¡±
¡°Hold on!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Now Waitaminit!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
She showed her a smile so pure and full of life that she didn¡¯t feel cheated, unhappy, or any other sad fate at all.
¡°No, wait, you, now ¡¡±
¡°So from today I belong to Earth! Every day from this day, as muuuuuuuch~ as we want, Earth can flirt and make ou¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Stop iiiit, no more! Somehow, I¡¯m starting to feel sorry for him! Jos¨¦¡¯s life is already¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Hmm, what¡¯s wrong¡ um, do you not like me after all, Earth? You can kiss~ kiss~ with me and embrace me all the time¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
And the next moment¡
¡°D, don¡¯t do thaaaaaaaaaaaat! Nooooooooo, I don¡¯t want to hear thiiiiiiiiiiiis, stoooooooop!¡±
It¡¯s terrible, in a sense, her coup de grace stabbed him. With a smile, this goddess is terrible.
I mean, he had already be so pathetic.
Because, Jos¨¦ right now, I¡¯m not sure how many times he¡¯s died!
¡°Jos¨¦¡ no more¡ what¡¯s going on¡¡±
¡°This is¡¡±
And the women who are no longer dead, but gutted from the damage to their hearts.
Meanwhile¡
¡°Now¡ Little man¡ the heck¡¡ what will you do? I mean, naturally if you do a very lewd act with this girl Kron, even if I¡¯m not qualified to ce me, I¡¯ll cry a little.¡±
Sadiz was squinting and muttering.
In such a situation¡
¡°Dear oh dear, why all themotion?¡±
She was in a very good mood, but while exposing only the intimidation as if to suppress all people¡
¡°What are thou doing? The Goddess stands before thee! Yet thy heads are held high! Refrain thyself!¡±
The cause of all this turmoil, the High Priestess¡¡ no¡¡ The Dark Valkyrie has appeared.
Ah, somehow, my intoxication cooled down right away.
Author¡¯s Note
Yesterday, while writing a novel, I was amazed to see the world¡¯s strongest jet-ck corps overwhelm Irnd. However, today is the day when men carrying the Japanese g bloom cherry blossoms again in full bloom!
Oooh, I¡¯m fired up!! By all means, let¡¯s support everyone.
Chapter 165 – The Ultimate Challenge
Chapter 165 - The Ultimate Challenge
Well, one thing or another just keepsing out.
All the culprits are here.
¡°Oh, the rising star who conquered the Arcane True Zenith, Thou already has an atmosphere of being the perfect match for the goddess. How thinks thee? Wouldn¡¯t it be nice for thou to spend some time together than to attend a feast? What says thee, Lady Kron?¡±
After all, the atmosphere was different.
The townspeople, who had been in a frenzy over the feast and their anger at Jos¨¦, suddenly took a step back and became quiet.
They might have noticed that they were too ¡°high-headed¡± to the goddess and the high priestess.
¡°Yes, I have a favor to ask as well¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s excellent. So, Earth Lagann. Immediately in the bedroom as a couple¡¡±
¡°But Earth seems very reluctant¡¡±
¡°What?¡±
I mean, they¡¯re currently in public¡ no, Jamdi¡¯el may already be excited that everything has gone in her favour.
¡°Earth Lagann, it¡¯s a man¡¯s shame to not eat the meal set before him, and not being eaten is an insult to the goddess as a woman. Come now, indulge thyself!¡±
She smiled. But I could feel it in the air. It only looked like she¡¯s saying, ¡°If you refuse, you understand, don¡¯t you?¡±.
If I refuse¡
¡°I mean, Jos¨¦ there¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Hmm? There¡¯s that thing. I¡¯ll dispose of it. Thou have nothing to do with this anymore, right?¡±
To say that without hesitation. And, it seemed she was uninterested.
I had mixed feelings.
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s none of my business. But, because I was interrupted and rebuked by name, even if it¡¯s unseemly, it left a bad aftertaste, so I just want to clear the air. This guy¡¯s gone crazy, but¡ what he shouted is¡ well, his true opinion I guess.¡±
¡°¡¡ what?¡±
Ignoring the harem, or his idea of romance, or whatever, it was probably true that he liked Kron, more or less.
And he came so far only to be in such a state.
It would break his heart if I started flirting with Kron like this, not to mention Sadiz.
¡°Jos¨¦, what is thou doing at a celebration? The loser needs not praise the winner, but it¡¯s only ufortable to see the loser acting out in such an unseemly manner. Leave.¡±
¡°Hig¡ riet, ess¡¡±
¡°Or will thoufort thyself by listening to the sounds of the fellowship between Lady Kron and Earth Lagann?¡±
¡°Eh, ah, aaaah!!¡±
Jos¨¦ rolled around while clutching his head at Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s merciless words.
At the spectacle, Jos¨¦ finally entered Kron¡¯s field of vision and seemed a little frightened.
¡°Oh¡ what is this¡ what happened to him? Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with thee, Lady Kron.¡±
No, no, no, it has a lot to do with her, right? This guy doesn¡¯t want you to be taken away by me¡
¡°P, please wait, High Priestess! Goddess Kron! I ¡ what will be of me?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
And while crawling, Jos¨¦ desperately asked.
The more he shouted, the more pitiful he looked.
On the other hand, Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡°Jos¨¦, I had my eye on thee, but¡ had no particr expectation of thee.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Because, gifted and the ungifted, the practitioners of the Arcane True Zenith Style were always stoically training their bodies and minds. Well, in their hearts most had given up on ever being able to defeat Machio. But still, they never neglected their discipline. What can I expect from a second-ss fighter who, like thee, cannot discern the strength of his opponent, cannot see his own capacity, and does not endeavor to make any effort?¡±
¡°But¡ because you had high hopes for me, you gave me¡¡ the Divine Elixir! Without saying anything though I didn¡¯t do anything¡ because you believed I could win without saying anything!?¡±
¡°Indeed, the Divine Elixir¡ well, I decided it didn¡¯t develop to the extent I had hoped, so I merely left thee to roam to thy own devices until expiration.¡±
¡°That¡?!¡±
It was a statement which shows that there was absolutely no fragment of mercy.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, I¡¯m afraid.¡±
¡°Nu, Lady Kron ¡°
¡°I¡¯m not quite sure, but I do feel sorry for this person. He seems unwell, doesn¡¯t he?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el gave Jos¨¦ a cold shoulder, as if he were a piece of trash.
And¡¡
¡°¡ High Priestess¡ I understand your true intentions, but¡¡ Goddess Kron¡ what about your feelings? Kron is a goddess, but¡ still just a girl! Regardless of fate, she should be tied with the man she loves!¡±
If not for his previous statements, I might have thought Jos¨¦¡¯s cry was very cool.
Well, this remark may be for his tremendous self-esteem, like saying ¡°I feel sorry for Kron since she can¡¯t be with me, because she likes me¡±.
Then Kron¡
¡°Well, you¡¯re a very sweet person, you care about me, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°Yes, actually I¡¡ when Jamdi¡¯el told me about this a few months ago, I was a little upset. I didn¡¯t know anything about romance or falling in love with a boy, but I guess I¡¯m different from the stories of princesses who live happily ever after with their wonderful princes like you read in the picture books¡ it made me a little sad.¡±
Kron turned a happy smile at Jos¨¦. With that smile, Jos¨¦¡¯s eyes shone as if he had found hope. But¡¡
¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m very happy right now. Hard-working, strong, cheerful, andughs happily with friends¡ he was so cool today. My heart was pounding. I can stay with Earth from now on¡¡ I was not free to, but from now on, I¡¯m d that I can love Earth to my heart¡¯s content, and when I think about our future marriage life, my heart feels warm!¡±
¡°Ah¡ uh¡ oh¡ I¡¯m¡ idiot¡
In many ways, I couldn¡¯t bear to see it anymore.
Jos¨¦ was already in such despair that he didn¡¯t even scream, he just plunged his head into the ground.
¡°¡¡ I am the one who knows the cuteness of Little man the most¡¡¡ although¡¡ already, to me¡ I can no longer be like a guard who stands in front of the bride¡ so if you want to get Little man, you must go beyond me, after all¡I miss him.¡±
Sadiz, why are you trying topete?
That¡¯s not the case.
¡°Wait, in the first ce, I never said I would ept the extra prize for the victory.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah?¡±
¡°Earth¡ after all¡¡ do you not like me?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s voice was bared at myment. Kron had a slightly sad tone.
However, this was my decision ¡®from the beginning¡¯.
¡°Kron, I don¡¯t hate you, but¡ I don¡¯t think I¡¯m ready to get married right now. There¡¯s an order to it.¡±
¡°Order¡¡ is it? Ummm¡ what in the world is that¡¡±
¡°Also, I don¡¯t want to sympathize with the other party because he is the other party, but ¡¡ even if you¡¯re insensitive to love, don¡¯t hurt a man without realizing it.¡±
Kron was confused by my remarks and was visibly thinking on it.
¡°Insensitive? Did Little man just say that?¡±
¡ºIndeed, boomerang!¡»
Sadiz and Tre¡¯ainar are still perfectly in sync!? Why!?
Well¡¡ for the time being, Kron is fine.
The problem is¡¡
¡°So High Priestess, Lady Jamdi¡¯el. The task that I was assigned to was to win. Wasn¡¯t I supposed to be released once I won the championship?¡±
¡°¡¡ indeed. Thou will not be released. If thou wins¡¡ then helps me with something, thou will get ¡¡ that¡¯s what this is, isn¡¯t it?¡±
The tone of her voice which I could see was growing increasingly moody with my questions. And, there was a painful shudder in the air.
This air was now so tense that even the gathered people and even Elder sis Tsukshi could not speak out.
But still I¡
¡°Simply put¡ whatever happens¡ with me and Kron¡ isn¡¯t that a problem between the two of us?¡±
¡°Thou is neither impotent nor favors men, why would thou put on airs? Thou should shut up and fulfill thy honorable duty with Kron to create the next God of the next generation.¡±
¡°But I¡ maybe not as much as Jos¨¦¡ other people¡¯s¡ breasts can sway me so it may be questionable, but I¡¯m for¡ pure love.¡±
¡°Scoundrel¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want you to decide what happens from here on, especially if this is the intention of ¡®Tre¡¯ainar¡¯. Because he isn¡¯t thinking about that at all.¡±
¡°Eh!?
¡°That¡¯s about it¡¡±
I said what I wanted to say. I have to follow from here onward.
¡°Well, I graduated that much, so¡ to my first love, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Eehh!!?¡±
I can¡¯t get married this easily. How much do you think I loved Sadiz?
¡°Little man¡¡±
Even though she may be cute, beautiful, and oozing with sex appeal, it wasn¡¯t easy to give the final answer.
It¡¯s up to us to decide what will happen with Kron in the future.
¡°And Jos¨¦¡ even though it¡¯s self-serving¡ you¡¯re the one who started it, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say you¡¯re not interested anymore, why don¡¯t you handle things to the end?¡±
I said what I should say.
And then¡¡
¡°Trivial, I don¡¯t care about that one anymore¡ I wish thou had simply kept silent ¡ in general, thou has abandoned God ¡ and is in need of a little punishment? Right!¡±
Well, of course, Jamdi¡¯el cannot be convinced.
The next moment, with heraldic eyes in both eyes¡
¡°Eh, Little man!¡±
¡°Stay back, Sadiz!¡±
¡°Eh!?
From here on¡ I chose for myself. And yet I can¡¯t have Sadiz helping me right away.
Besides, I had already predicted that this might happen ¡°three months ago¡±.
¡°???¨¥??????????¨±???????????¨±??¡¡ Short-Distance Transfer Magik, ¡¾M?MCH?R?¡¿!!¡±
I was swallowed by the ck vortex generated by the activation of her Heraldic Eye and ancient magic, and Jamdi¡¯el entered it herself.
¡°Earth!¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
¡°Older brother!¡±¡±
¡°Big brother!¡±.
Everyone shouts in confusion at the sudden urrence.
Their voices were soon cut off by the movement of space.
And we stood face to face on the beach, which we often came upon.
¡ºChild, a drink?¡»
¡¸No thanks, I¡¯m out.¡¹
¡ºWell, I wondered what would happen for a while, but tis fine.¡»
¡¸Yeah.¡¹
¡ºBut in any case, do not forget the crucial moment?¡»
¡¸Also, take precautions.¡¹
Yes, on the way, I had almost forgotten about it because of boobs and the ridiculous amount of excitement, but I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a while now.
Neither I nor Tre¡¯ainar are very surprised or panicked, and so we check each other.
¡°Oh dear¡ well, even unconscious, I only need thy lower body to react. If thou had listened to what I say, it would have been heavenly, but¡ let us go rough, shall we?¡±
In front of me, Jamdi¡¯el threatened me with an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Yes, today I will fight against the most powerful ¡°reality¡± in my life history.
However, in my dreams, I¡¯ve been fighting someone stronger.
Author¡¯s Note
Soon, like Earth, our Japan will fight against the strongest men.
That¡¯s not the case if you¡¯re reading my novel, but oh ah!
Let¡¯s cheer! Let¡¯s get enthusiastic! Let¡¯s support the Japanese National Team with the spirit of our spiral and pierce through the wall again like four years ago!
Chapter 166 – Two-on-One
Chapter 166 - Two-on-One
¡°Incidentally, does thou truly intend to fight me? Thou can¡¯t think that defeating Machio means thou can beat, right?¡±
Me and Jamdi¡¯el faced each other on the sandy beach.
¡°I thought thou was smarter than thy single-celled father, but¡ I can only call thee a fool, one-on-one, against me?¡±
Like the ultimatum, Jamdi¡¯el asked me.
Are you really going to fight like this? And.
¡°What are you saying? Didn¡¯t my father and mother win against you and your revered god when they were the same age as I am now?¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong with me fighting you?¡±
¡°With a cowardly hand~¡±
Lower the left and set up the flicker stance. Take it to the form I¡¯m best at.
Then, Jamdi¡¯el eyes moved in an irritated manner, as if she was offended by my words and attitude.
¡°Does thou realize how generous I am? Son of Hiro and Mamu, who destroyed God. Normally, I would have buried thy entire bloodline, were it not for the fact that thou are able to use the power of the Great Demon, thou still lives at my whim.¡±
True, in that sense, you¡¯ve been very patient. It¡¯s been three months. At first I was wondering when your resentment against my father would be taken out on me.¡±
¡°I say again, seal the pact with Lady Kron. Do that, and I will allow thee live as thou wish. The barrier enshrouding thisnd will also be brought down. That is all to it. As a man, does thou know how much it means to be able to embrace such a being?¡±
¡°I know how much it means, and I am a man, so I do have those desires. But in this regard ¡ I don¡¯t think so.¡±
The answer is obvious.
As things are, I will not let everything go ording to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s wishes.
That¡¯s what I, and Tre¡¯ainar, really want.
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
Are you sure you want to fight? I can show nothing better than this in reply.
¡°¡ fool! If only thou would stay silent and be a stallion!¡±
¡°Look at the other person before you speak. I¡¯m not a horse, am I?¡±
¡°A rampaging horse. Well, in any case¡ I shall put the reins on thee.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el bared her bloodlust.
The other side is going toe forward with violent intent.
¡ºYou know what to do, child.¡»
Yes. I know. What I need to do.
¡°Come, then! I¡¯ll have thou experience it, the power of the proud Six Supremacy. And of my Heraldic Eye¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Later! ¡¾Great Demon Sprint¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?¡±
First. I dashed from this empty sandy beach, past the nearby trees and woods, away from the direction of the town, and headed into the greenery of the forest.
No way, Jamdi¡¯el was surprised at this escape at the very start of the battle.
¡°Wh, hey, wretch¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°And turn around, ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
After a certain distance, turn around with a shockwave.
Naturally, I can¡¯tnd a sure hit from this position, and the distance between us would weaken its power.
However, it was still enough to get on Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s nerve.
¡°Scou, ndrel,¡±
Then, immediately dash away again.
With this much distance between us, she can¡¯t easily catch up with me now that I¡¯m in a breakthrough state.
¡°W, wh¡ what are thy intentions, scum!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was also furious at this little attack.
She spread the wings on her back and rushed toward us.
But, this is all ording to n.
¡°Is this all right?¡±
¡ºYes, tis fine. First, enrage her. She is patient once her mind is set, but¡ her boiling point is extremely low towards those who oppose her.¡»
¡°She¡¯s pretty angry, isn¡¯t she?¡±
¡ºThis is good, Jamdi¡¯el Strategy #1: Deprive herposure.¡»
First of all, footwork does not work on the sandy beach, so move before the opponent goes into full battle mode, and at the same time provoke and make her lose calm.
¡ºAnd Jamdi¡¯el Strategy #2: Do not stand before the Heraldic Eye.¡»
The Heraldic Eyes. A magic eye that seemed to see through everything.
¡ºThe original ability of the heraldic eye. It can analyze and copy any magic of the opponent and learn it themselves. She can now use the breakthrough with it. Well, as for Magical Breathing, tis not magic, tis more of a physical ability, so she could not master it. However, that ability is no threat to you who do not engage in magical battles.¡»
Three Great Magic Eyes. The legendary magic eyes that appear in textbooks.
¡ºHowever, in addition to their respective abilities, the three major magic eyes improve basic dynamic visual acuity and eye strength by several tenfoldpared to ordinary people. And if used in closebat, one can foresee the opponent¡¯s movements. The figures she had produced during Magical Vision training are due to this ability. As such, you should avoid closebat when she stands in front of you. Apparently even she couldn¡¯t have anticipated your flight at the very start of the battle, because her concentration was not yetplete.¡»
By Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instruction, it¡¯s not a good idea to fight head-on against the heraldic eye¡ or rather, against Jamdi¡¯el directly.
¡°Thou will not escape, Earth Lagann! Is thou trying to disrupt me by impeding my vision in the overgrown forest? Do not underestimate me! This heraldic eye isn¡¯t cheap enough to be slowed down by forest obstacles!¡±
¡ºNow, this is where it begins! Remember your special parkour training, you never had a chance to show it off in the enclosed arena! Do not stop. Always keep moving! And do not rush out blindly until I give instruction. Always be aware of your timing.¡»
¡°Osu!¡±
And from here on, I won¡¯t be fighting alone.
Tre¡¯ainar smiled right next to me.
¡ºJamdi¡¯el, the child defeated Machio in the tournament and won the championship. Tis all due to the efforts and power of the child.¡»
Yes, Tre¡¯ainar left most of the fighting at the tournament to me.
On top of that, I was able to beat Mr. Machio and win the championship.
But from here on out, it¡¯s different.
¡ºFrom here on out I shall fight. You have disregarded mymands and angered me many times over, so I will strike you down here! Go, child. I am with you now!¡»
Yes, from here on, I will follow this guy.
Tre¡¯ainar, who has been tasking battles and giving some advice, will start in earnest.
¡°Geez, for me¡ even if you didn¡¯t give instructions, I felt like we were fighting together just because you were always beside me¡ haven¡¯t you felt like that before? So lonesome.¡±
¡ºWai, nu, t, take this seriously! I find such asions embarrassing, a. ahem¡ do not utter such drivel at times like this!¡»
I wonder what it is. He¡¯s the strongest ally I¡¯ve ever had.
Like a military strategist, standing by my side, giving me orders.
I don¡¯t feel like losing.
¡°Sorry, Jamdi¡¯el, this isn¡¯t a one-on-one. It¡¯s two-on-one!¡±
Because Tre¡¯ainar is moving me so confidently.
Because he thinks the two of us can win.
With that in mind, power came to me.
Tre¡¯ainar is right beside me!
Author¡¯s Note
It was a pityst night, but the appearance of the Japanese National Team ying in the World Cup was wonderful. That said, the end is the end. Recently, it was all about ¡°Go Japan!¡±, but in the first ce the Japanese National Team has already worked hard, and since they did their best until the end, it will be ¡°do your best next time¡±. Everyone has their own way of doing their best, but I will do my best too.
Chapter 167 – Beyond the Beyond
Chapter 167 - Beyond the Beyond
¡°With an overwhelming difference in power, thou shall be brought to thy knees, body and soul!!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el is much stronger than me.
I¡¯ve been training under the policy of developing my overall strength as a generalist rather than a specialist, but even in terms of overall strength, Jamdi¡¯el was superior.
But, I was confident in this pursuit.
Because of the new ¡°special move¡± that I developed. I didn¡¯t use it in the tournament, but I was doing this kind of thing as part of my training.
¨D¨D Hey, Karui. Wanna y a game-like training with me?
¨D¨D Oooh? Training is a pain, but ying is fine~. But, is Amae okay with it?
¨D¨D Yeah. Even if it¡¯s just for fun, it¡¯s serious.
¨D¨D Hoh~, what are we doing?
She was much faster than me¡ on the contrary, I trained against the fastest sprinter in this country.
¨D¨D ying tag
Come on, try and catch me!
Jamdi¡¯el, who had been chasing me at low altitude, finally entered the forest.
And she tried to reach out to me.
But¡¡
¡°Kukuku, surely thy speed is adequate, but Karui is far faste¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡ºOut!¡»
Run straight and halfway through, turn left at a right angle.
¡°It¡¯s useless, with my heraldic eyes, such change of direction is¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡ºCorner!¡»
This time, dash diagonally to the right. However, Jamdi¡¯el seemed rxed as she chased me.
¡°Now, now, what is this! Is thou aware of thy actions? Ahead is a rock wall, there is no escape for thee ¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡ºWall run! Do not slow down!¡»
¡°¡¡ Hmm? ¡¡ Oh, does thou intend to climb?¡±
Run diagonally against the standing wall, kick the wall, leaving it to the momentum, kick the wall again with the other foot, and go straight onto the wall.
¡ºRun on the rocks and fly straight and wide with a running start!¡»
¡°Hoh~, neither breeding stallion nor rampaging horse, but a monkey?¡±
¡ºThendmark is the branch of therge tree before you! Fly forward, bending the branch as yound!¡»
¡°Hahahahaha, thou is making for a splendid chase! But does thou think that is enough to escape from me?¡±
¡ºLanding! Parkour roll! And run straight ahead!¡»
Anding that flies diagonally from the spot with a step and rolls forward.
By doing this, the impact on the body can be dispersed, and the momentum of forward rotation can be used to raise the body and immediately connect it to the next dash.
¡°The speed itself is inferior to Karui even with the breakthrough, but¡ his running technique far exceeds Karui. Not only martial arts, but he could do this as well?¡±
¡ºHmm, has Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s frustration subsided? But ¡ she will be disrupted soon.¡»
¡°However, I cannot overlook the fact that the man who will be the seed of the next generation of God would ungracefully run around without hesitation!¡±
I¡¯m much faster and more skilled than when I was chased after by Shinobu.
But, even so, I couldn¡¯t shake off Jamdi¡¯el, who was flying gorgeously on wings through this thick forest.
Keeping up with my changes in direction, even lightly avoiding obstacle branches and trees, she smiled wickedly as if he enjoyed chasing and catching up with me.
¡°I will catch thee soon! I¡¯ve already read thy movements and behavioral patterns! From here on, no matter how thou escapes, I¡¯ll make my way around to thee ¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
The power of the Heraldic Eyes of Jamdi¡¯el is in the realm of the superhuman.
She can grasp my line of sight, shoulders, elbows, arm swings, legs, muscles and all movements, and then see through my next action, and beyond, as if it were precognition.
So, originally, I could have been caught much sooner.
But¡¡
¡°Here! Checkmate! Thou is there¡¡±
¡ºQuick out!¡»
¡°Wh¡ what!?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s voice gradually came closer, and when she was just about to catch me, I turned to the outside.
At that moment, for the first time, Jamdi¡¯el was caught off-guard by my move.
At my unexpected change of direction, Yamidile couldn¡¯t keep up with the movement of her wings and flew straight, opening the distance to me again.
¡°¡¡ what is the meaning of this? Come on, wait! This time¡¡±
¡ºPost!¡»
¡°Eh? Again¡¡±
This time, cut back to the front, towards the left.
¡°I¡ misread¡ it? Did the movement of his muscles ¡ change on the way? The moment I reacted!?¡±
At that moment, I heard a puzzled voice from Jamdi¡¯el.
Why was Jamdi¡¯el, who can anticipate my movements, being outsmarted by me?
¡ºTis obvious. Heraldic eyes? What of it? Mine is the Six-Gate eye which has superiorpatibility. Its ability to read ahead, grasp the environment, experience value, all far surpassing Jamdi¡¯el. The thought circuit and theprehensive ability of Jamdi¡¯el, her movement and behavioral patterns, I know it all¡ hence¡ so does the child.¡»
The answer is simple. Because Tre¡¯ainar was there.
¡ºJamdi¡¯el¡¡ as you look ahead to the child¡¯s movements, I instantly read how you move, and gives instructions to go the opposite way¡ such sudden turn in direction hurts the muscles, but¡ the child has run in enough to keep up with this much. In addition, there would normally be a timeg between instruction to execution, but¡ for five months, whether awake, or within dreams, we entirely spent all our time together, hence for the child, such matters can be easilypensated!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar read ahead and outwit my movements which Jamdi¡¯el read ahead.
¡°¡¡ to outwit the Heraldic eye¡ thisd, how ¡ it¡¯s as if he is reading my thoughts and actions in reverse¡¡±
¡ºSonic flicker at 45 degrees diagonally behind to the left! Do not give her a chance to think!¡»
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡ºGood, run forward again as soon as it hits!¡»
And I no longer looked at or confirmed the opponent, but just as instructed, I turned my body in the direction I was told and released my fist.
¡°Nu?! Gu, ga¡¡ my, such impudence!!¡±
I could only hear Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s angry voice, but I¡¯m already running forward.
¡ºThese eyes of mine will not be misled, Jamdi¡¯el. I can tell at a nce. You are certainly among the most powerful people in the world, but no stronger than you were 15 years ago. On the contrary, it seems that you have not fought any life-threatening battles for a long time, nor have you done bloody training to improve yourself. As a master of the Arcane True Zenith dojo, you may have trained keep your decline at the minimum, but tis easy to see how your body¡¯s senses and sharpness have dulled!¡»
Power, speed. Technique. For those who don¡¯t have enough¡ they can win with tactics!
And the best brain in history was lending me a hand with that.
¡°Tch¡ then¡¡±
¡ºNow turn around, hit a series of sonic jabs right behind you!¡»
¡°With my magick, Wind Spell ¡¾Mega¡ wh, at,¡±
Not a flicker, but a straight-flying, speed-focused shockwave.
¡°Nonsense! Before I activated my magick¡as if he knew that I would unleash a spell¡¡±
The farther away the shockwaves go, the less powerful they are, but by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, I still shot them regardless.
Then, I could only faintly hear Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s frustrated voice, maybe my jab barrage hit ¡®something¡¯.
¡ºOkay, this distance! Keeping this distance, jump into the trees and get behind her. This distance is outside the range of the heraldic eye.¡»
¡°Ku¡ nuu!? Did thou run away again? It¡¯s no use hiding! There are no blind spots in this heraldic eye!¡±
¡ºDo not listen. The Heraldic eye also has blind spots. There are positions and distances that are beyond its coverage¡¡»
¡°Show thyself! Or else, I¡¯ll blow the whole area away!¡±
¡ºShe will not blow you away. She is not that distraught yet. She will not waste her magic.¡»
Oh, I¡¯m still running away unscathed against that world¡¯s strongest ss.
No, I¡¯m not running away.
This is a strategy.
¡ºOkay, turn. Continuously hit with the Sonic Flicker while moving. Constantly move, keep her unaware of the firing position, sometimes stop, sometimes backstep back, sometimes high, sometimes low. Good.¡»
¡°Osu, ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡ºUp, up, down, down, left, right, left, right flicker!¡»
Yes, I¡¯m fighting.
¡°Wh, kugu, ah¡ no matter how many times I am struck¡ eeeeeeeei! Annoying!!¡±
In the past, if I were to confront her, I would have been decapitated in a second. But she was frustrated and being led around by me.
¡ºWell done¡ tis about time. Step back a little, retreat and get even more distance.¡»
No, it¡¯s not ¡°me¡±. It¡¯s ¡°us¡±.
Chapter 168 – Playing With
Chapter 168 - ying With
¨D¨DHahaa~! Big brother, you can¡¯t shake me off with those tricks! Because, big brother isn¡¯t fast enough¡ eh?? That?? Tsu, I can¡¯t catch you!?
A race, how quickly can you get to your destination while running at the same time in a straight route?
If we yed that game, I¡¯d definitely be slower than Karui.
But when asked if I could beat Karui, who is faster than me, at a game of free-running tag, that¡¯s not the case.
¡°Tch¡ thisd¡ then, let¡¯s blow this forest away and burn him out!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el still couldn¡¯t catch me.
Perhaps her frustration has reached its peak, and a very boisterous shout resonated.
But I know it¡¯s not a threat, and she had that much power.
But my Master¡ no, my partner was as calm as ever.
¡ºAll right, she is about to unleash a wide range spell. Let us dare to activate it! What she shoots will be her favorite thunder spell, ¡®Giga Spark¡¯. However, it will not reach this distance.¡»
At this distance, he told me not to worry because even her best spell was out of range.
There were no words more reassuring than this.
At the same time, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes shone, saying, ¡°rather, this is an opportunity¡±.
¡°Be swallowed up by thunderstorms!¡±
¡ºDo not be fooled by the thunderclouds and lights. After my count, activate the Great Magic Spiral and aim it at the sky! Whenever she casts the spell, she would fly into the air and try to find you from the sky! 5, 4, 3, 2¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
In an instant, dark clouds appeared in the sky, and the sky lit up with a violent roar.
¡°¡¾Giga Spark¡¿!¡±
¡ºNow! Activate it!¡»
Light from heavens covering a wide area of the forest. But if Tre¡¯ainar is to be believed, where I currently am was out of its range.
And as soon as the light fell into the forest, Tre¡¯ainar turned his finger diagonally above me.
¡ºThe shock wave of the Great Magic Spiral!¡»
¡°Oooooooooooohh, ¡¾Great Magic Spiral ? Earth Spiral, Sonic Impact¡¿!!¡±
At that moment, I saw it, faintly but certainly.
A shadow flew into the sky at the same time as the lightning struck the forest.
¡°Now, where¡ wh, eh!?¡±
The Great Magic Spiral that was shot to bring down the shadow¡¡
¡°Wh¡ whaaaaaaaat!!?? It, cant, be, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?¡±
¡°Blow awaaaaaaaaaaaay!¡±
I definitely caught Jamdi¡¯el!
Jamdi¡¯el wasunched into the air, caught in therge spiral vortex shock wave.
¡°Uo, ooooooooooaah! Th, this¡¡ this!!
Be gone, to the ends of the world even.
Then, please stay in the heavens if you want.
I pushed out the Great Magic Spiral as hard as I could.
But I¡¯m not naive enough to think it would end with this.
¡ºNot yet, child. Jamdi¡¯el endures!¡»
¡°Tch¡ Seriously?¡±
¡ºShe activated the breakthrough and blew the shockwave away with her surge.¡»
¡°Ossu!¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar instructed, the spiral vortex seemed to be able to fly as vigorously as possible, but the response changed immediately.
Even though it could blow away Mr. Machio¡¯s full-throttle rush, even though it was one of the strongest techniques that I could use now, it was¡
¡°Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!¡±
It was scattered in the air only by the magical power released by Jamdi¡¯el as she was screaming.
¡°Such a thing¡ Such A Thing, to think thou would blow me away!!¡±
I was pretty confident myself, but ¡ the damage was ¡ almost nothing.
¡°Damn¡ that woman is outrageous¡¡±
Rather, did that even make her angrier?
I heard a very cheerful voice.
And¡¡
¡°That¡ is the breakthrough of Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡ºIndeed¡¡»
¡°Haha¡ she¡¯s already that strong, but on top of that, even a breakthrough¡ terrifying.
¡ºBut with this¡ the conditions are met. Come on, child. Do not just stand there staring, move quickly!¡»
The blue light seemed to be shining. That was the color of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s magical power.
I mean, I¡¯ve never seen a breakthrough other than from me and Tre¡¯ainar.
And one more thing.
When I saw Jamdi¡¯el, who invoked a shining breakthrough, I was bothered by one more thing.
¡°¡¡ hmm? What¡¡ eh? That¡¯s¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was unharmed¡ but the clothes weren¡¯t safe¡ the High Priestess robe she wore was torn to shreds¡ what¡¯s that? The skirt was subtly torn and slightly protruding from underneath is¡ panties, isn¡¯t it? Iron panties? Armor?
When I looked closely, I felt like it was some magic item¡
¡ºOi, run!¡»
¡°S, sorry, but she¡¯s equipped with something weird¡ is that a magic item or something?¡±
¡ºTis just a chastity belt.¡»
¡°Chas-ti-ty?¡±
¡ºPay it no mind, just run!¡»
¡°Osu!¡±
I was a little taken aback by something I had never seen before, but I looked forward again and ran.
¡°So, she¡¯s unharmed, but is that okay? For a while¡ I thought at least a little¡¡±
¡ºTis fine. The purpose is not to defeat her. Merely break herposure. Furthermore, with thebination of the breakthroughs state and heraldic eye activation, we seeded in making her exert a great deal of magical power.¡»
It was a little shocking that the shockwave of the Great Magic Spiral left her intact, but Tre¡¯ainar grinned, ¡°Well done¡±.
¡°Hey, we¡¯re running out of forest!¡±
¡ºYou may leave! Dare to reveal yourself once! Then she will fly straight at you in the breakthrough state! You cannot just hide, there was always a point where you must show yourself! That is now!¡»
After passing through the forest, I found a wide meadow with a few ups and downs.
It was arge space that was not particrly inhabited by people and was untouched.
Sure, it had no ce to hide.
Here, I dared to expose myself in front of Jamdi¡¯el.
¡ºAll right, here you will provoke Jamdi¡¯el even more. No more attacks, words will suffice. From now on, put all your energy into your feet, do not attack.¡»
¡°Osu, what do you mean, provoke? With words?¡±
¡ºSpeak ill of me! It will be thest straw, and she will forget herself!¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar disses? Tell me that sooner! I can¡¯t think of anything bad about you right off the bat!¡± [1] [1]
¡ºUuh!? ¡¡ G, gurd! S, say such things, look, anything will do!¡»
¡°Umm, then¡¡±
Here, in order to further provoke and draw Jamdi¡¯el in, I need to verbally burn Tre¡¯ainar.
In this situation, I couldn¡¯t immediately think of bad words against Tre¡¯ainar.
Finally, I came up with¡
¡°Well, the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, was such an idiot!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°God is an outright lie~, w, wh, what a loser~!¡±
¡ºugh¡ l, loser ¡ ¡»
No, I didn¡¯t mean it, okay?
That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t want to say it either! I mean, you made the suggestion yourself, why are you looking so sad?
However, it seemed to have been effective.
¡°¡¡ Idiot? God is no? Loser? ¡¡ thou dares?¡±
Oh, scary! Scary scary! But with one more push¡ another push ¡ something else to swear about¡ something¡ something¡
¡°That¡¯s right, the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar is!¡±
¡°Nu-eh?¡±
My eyes already meet Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s, who was on the verge of erupting like a volcano.
And I¡
¡°The Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar hates Jamdi¡¯el and loves me more than anyone else! He¡¯s on my side! Always watching over me! Serves you right!!¡± [2] [2]
¡º¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ O¡¡ OI¡¡»
No, because it¡¯s the only thing I could think of that would provoke Jamdi¡¯el without hurting you.
But shouting out such a thing, it¡¯s embarrassing¡ don¡¯t look away, Tre¡¯ainar. It¡¯s awkward!
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Thou dares insult my God!¡±
However, it seemed that the effect on Jamdi¡¯el was drastic.
¡°If I just need her to be provoked, shouldn¡¯t I have gone with words from the start?¡±
¡ºIf you do not move your body, your body will not warm up¡ and, most importantly¡ you can ¡®go in¡¯ right away, can you not?¡»
¡°Certainly.¡±
Volcano Jamdi¡¯el just erupted.
Already, in the form of a demon, she wasing toward me at super speed.
¡ºNow, from here on, what you trained with tag¡ not just parkour¡ tis time for the other ¡®special move¡¯ that you had devised other than the shockwaves!¡»
¡°Oh, I¡¯m all warmed up and ready to go!¡±
¡ºThe zone?¡»
¡°I¡¯ll ¡®go in¡¯ right away!¡±
¡ºThen, do it with gusto!¡»
I didn¡¯t use it at the tournament in the end. I didn¡¯t want to make a fool of Mr. Machio, but there wasn¡¯t any particr situation to use in, so I kept it hidden.
Now was the time to show off the technique!
[]
[S1] Oh, oh! I got one¡
Ahem! The Hero whooped Tre¡¯ainar so bad, he couldn¡¯t show his face in the afterlife¡¡ ha? HA? []
[S2] THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING TO SAY TO A YANDERE!!!!
Chapter 169 – Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ?
Chapter 169 - Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ¢Û
Never in my life has there been a fool who dared mock me to this extent.
Although they were my hated enemies, I believe I¡¯ve at least had a proud sh of souls with those dross Hiro and Mamu.
Their son is making a fool of me like an infant, and even dared to insult God.
For that, there will beeuppance!
¡°Hah! Thou can¡¯t hide in the forest and run around anymore!¡±
I¡¯ll end it in an instant. My fist, empowered by this breakthrough¡¡
¡°Unh!?¡±
His fist, his shoulder moved. Is this fellow aiming to counter me?
The opponent is a man who countered Machio¡¯s fist without fear.
That said, against me? He underestimates¡ hmm? Nay. The toes and knee orientation to use the counter¡¡ isn¡¯t it? Shockwave?
Wait, before that, this fellow, why is he facing elsewhere¡
¡°Hehe, ¡¾Great Demon Look Away¡¿¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
Drat!? I was so taken aback by the ¡®look away¡¯ that I also looked away, and stopped my attacking hand.
¡°You¡¯re a Six Supremacy, and yet you still fell for it.¡±
¡°Braaaaaat!¡±
By the time I noticed, Earth Lagann went around behind me¡ a flicker!? Nay, that shoulder movement is¡ a left feint followed by his right¡¡ this fellow, the line of sight is on my body¡ huh? But by his footwork, will he step back next? Why? Is thou unwilling to attack as I am full of gaps?
¡°¡¾Great Demon Back Slide¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¡ Ha?¡±
What? This is¡¡ I remember, about hundreds of years ago, a mysterious masked dancer who appeared in the Demon Realm ¡ The King of Pop of the Demon Realm who performed what was called the Moonwalk¡ why here? What is the point?
¡°¡¡¡¡±
¡°Soui, soui, soui¡±
¡°¡¡ Is thou mocking me?¡±
There is no point. It¡¯s just a provocation! A prank on me¡ gah, to what ends does he act in that manner?! But for Lady Kron, I would bleepbleepbleep¡ eh!?
¡°Come on! Get me¡±
¡°Tsu!¡±
Drat, is this his aim? To distance himself from me while taunting me, have me run straight at him in anger, and then he intercepts with a counter?
Moreover, his sudden increase in magic power¡ the Great Demon Spiral!? What¡¯s more, this time he intends to hit me directly rather than with shockwaves!?
Naturally, he would immediately drive it into me¡
¡°Just kidding!¡±
¡°¡ Huh? ¡ wh,at?¡±
What? The moment I sensed the Great Demon Spiral iing and stopped, this fellow released the attempt to activate the technique and went around to the side¡ what? What are his intentions?
¡°Right~, I¡¯m ¡®in¡¯. From now on, my sharpness will get better and better, and I¡¯ll weave in and out in various ways.¡±
¡°What?¡±
I don¡¯t understand. This fellow, what will he do? Right punch? Left punch? Move to the right? Move to the left? Or back? Shockwave? Wh, what is it? Eyes, head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, tips of fists, knees, toes, body orientation¡
¡°Th, this is¡¡±
¡°Come on, catch me if you can.¡±
At that moment, I suddenly realized.
In the first ce, it is impossible that I, with my Heraldic eye, would end up ¡°not knowing what Earth Lagann would do next¡±.
With the Heraldic eye activated, I can look ahead to what the opponent is always trying to do due to my basic eyesight and dynamic visual acuity being greatly improved in addition to the ability to copy the other party¡¯s magic.
However, apart from in the forest earlier, Earth Lagann stands right before me, a one-on-one, in a ce with no obstacles, but I do not see what Earth Lagann will try to do next.
¡°Nuo, ah, oh¡¡±
Earth Lagann moves constantly, his arms, legs, eyes and head direction.
Moreover, there were no regr movements or rhythms, everything is random and has a different rhythm.
It¡¯s as if I¡¯m watching an unpleasant dance.
I could not predict which way his foot would move next, or what punch he¡¯ll throw next with his fist.
Why is that?
A feint.
The whole body is feinting all at once, and not merely a feint, there is so much momentum, acting ability, and genuine signs and bloodlust that it seems ¡°he really will move next¡±, so I can¡¯t help but react to them.
Yet another nuisance is the eye guidance, which is done in conjunction with the feints.
Knowing a left fist ising from the start, one can focus solely on the left fist. However, this man also interweaves movements that seem to be done by the motions of his right hand and feet at the same time, and I also react naturally and my nce is guided momentarily.
Guidance of the nce¡ What was it called? This technique. Mis¡¡ Misdi¡?
In any case, as my Heraldic eyes see everything ¡°all too well¡±, my body naturally reacts to all feints and movements. Even as the brain reacts to visual stimuli, new informationes in steadily, and even if I try to anticipate it, the amount of information is toorge to process and my head gets befuddled.
Even the slightest movements that a normal person would not react to, because I could see everything, I would inevitably react to it.
¡°But after all, it¡¯s but a trick! Don¡¯t think about anything, don¡¯t worry about being hit a little, just push through it with force and capture thee¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic¡¡±
¡°Drat!? ¡¡ Ah¡¡±
Useless. Even if I do not think about anything and try to plunge in without fear of being hit, my body reacts naturally so long as the opponent¡¯s movement is visible. Even now, I predicted Earth Lagann¡¯s counter, stopped involuntarily, and in the meantime he took a distance from me again.
Hundreds of years of fighting have ingrained in my body the ability to ¡°anticipate the opponent¡¯s movements with Heraldic eyes and fight without getting hit¡±, making me unable to take action with abandon.
¡°Ku¡¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Cossack¡¿! Hora~, yo, ho, yo, ho!
¡°Nuh, what is that dance!? Will thou take this fight seriously?!? ¡°
And, if there is any leeway, he makes some strange movements that I don¡¯t understand and can¡¯t even make sense of, as if to provoke me.
What shall I do? Preferably, do I release the Heraldic eye?
¡°Oh? Can I mix in attacks now? Osu! ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ tch!?
No good. He¡¯s weaker than I, but¡ the fellow¡¯s fist can¡¯t be seen through without the Heraldic eye¡ no, but don¡¯t be afraid of being hit¡ then again, he suddenly spoke to himself as if he were talking to ¡°someone¡±.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°This¡ this braaaatt!¡±
Nay, before I gather my thoughts, more and more new information flows into my head through my eyes ¡ drat! Better, do I erase everything with magic? No, but I can¡¯t kill the key¡ besides, it takes me a little time to unleash powerful magic. This fellow won¡¯t miss it.
Even if I fly into the air, I would fall prey to shockwaves and the Great Demon Spiral.
¡°When eyes are too good, they can be a problem too?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°This is my new Special Move! The results of my efforts to further improve my footwork¡¡ fusing continuous feints and footwork using the entire body ¡¡± ¡¾Great Demon ? Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
¡°Miss¡ Direct, shuffle?¡±
His cocky, self-confident look is now abhorrent!
However, this man¡¯s tricks are more than mere tricks.
It isplete as a technique.
¡°Tch¡ impudent¡¡±
There is another matter that baffles me. Has this man ever fought the Heraldic eye? The overly observant eyes of the Heraldic eye are rather exploited as a weakness.
When I see him shouting to himself, is someone instructing him? Nay, I don¡¯t sense any telepathic flow of magic.
However, I doubt thisd is thinking of all these strategies by himself.
¡°Thou, apart from that skill¡ who in the world¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Whose wisdom is it, whose strategy? It¡¯s as if he knew all about me¡ enough toe up with such a maniptive and unpleasant strategy, such an indecent fellow!
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
What? To my question, he shifted his eyes to the side and looked on with tremendous pity.
However, it does not answer my question, and the movement of Earth Lagann does not stop during that time.
For the first time in a way, I didn¡¯t know ¡°what I should do¡±.
And at the same time, to think that he had this much strategy and skill, and this man has a good overall bnce inbat and I cannot find anything that seems to be a weakness.
I realize that¡ this man¡ not that I underestimated him, but¡
Truly¡¡
He¡¯s strong, isn¡¯t he?
Chapter 170 – In the Palm of the Hand
Chapter 170 - In the Palm of the Hand
¨D¨D Gohah~! How how hoooow!? I can¡¯t catch you, big brother!?
The tag training eventually got to the point where I couldn¡¯t even be caught by Karui, who was much faster than me.
Karui was also a resident of the world of light speed and divine speed, so her dynamic vision was quite good.
That¡¯s why she was at the mercy of my Earth Misdirection Shuffle.
Well, there was also the fact that Karui hadn¡¯t yet learned how to use and control her body against her own overly fast feet, but I¡¯ve now been able to prove that this special move is effective.
¡°Fu~ ¡¡ annoying ¡¡ little ¡¡ brat¡¡±
While grudgingly ring at me, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s reactions and rhythms are bing more and more erratic.
On the contrary, because she can react to all my movements instinctively, her brain and body are confused.
Most people focus on one thing and the others are neglected.
But I¡¯ve been doing this sort of thing for five months now.
¨D¨D Good, as you get ustomed, the difficulty shall gradually increase. From now on, I will instruct on the steps to be performed from the outside. Of course, that is not all. Steps and ¡¡ magical attributes will also be indicated. While taking the steps I have instructed, you will simultaneously activate the magic of the indicated attribute from now on.
From the day I first received Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s guidance¡ yes, it all started with thatdder training.
When I was still in the Imperial City, when I was taught thedder for the first time in the garden of the mansion, this was the guidance that increased the level of difficulty.
¨D¨D Step while doing something else. Magic while doing other things. That is, performing separate tasks simultaneously uses a considerable nerve, and confuses the reaction. An untrained person will always be biased towards one or the other.
Yes, from that moment on, I was trained to be able to do this.
Use magic while taking steps.
Do one thing while doing another.
That¡¯s what I¡¯m doing now, feinting with my fists, feinting with my steps, feinting with my gaze, all at the same time.
Training that doesn¡¯t confuse my brain and body is what earned me this technique.
Well, when I first came to Cacretale, I hadn¡¯t imagined the Earth Misdirection Shuffle when I was developing my special moves.
I just¡
¨D¨D Long-range fist attack¡ the shock wave has be quite sharp, child. At this rate, you will be able to refine this even further¡
¨D¨D Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡ actually, I¡ another one ¡ I have something I want to learn.
When I was having Tre¡¯ainar apany me through the special move training, I still only had a vague idea at that time.
¨D¨D What? Another one? What in the world would that be?
¨D¨D¡¡ Footwork.
In addition to an offensive special move, I wanted a special move for my footwork.
¨D¨D Hoh~. Tis surprising. At your age, I would have thought you would only seek offensive techniques.
¨D¨D It¡¯s just, there are a lot of things¡ that¡¡ yeah, well¡
¨D¨D ts!? Oh, ah, u, umm, is that not sufficient? Footwork. U, ummm! Well then, hmm, all right!
I¡¯m pretty sure he read my mind at that moment.
I didn¡¯t say it out loud, but why did I want a footwork special move?
Because footwork is where it all began. The starting point for me and Tre¡¯ainar.
It¡¯s the first thing he¡¯s ever taught me, and I want this to be second to none¡ what I could never say no matter what, could he have read it at that time?
But now, I can say it clearly.
I¡¯m not embarrassed. I¡¯m proud.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Ugh¡ nuh¡¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Rush¡¿!!¡±
All of Jamdi¡¯el, who can anticipate the movement of people, is behind.
I can keep pushing¡
¡ºWell¡ this is¡¡ the point.¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar murmurs a calm word.
I seems, I can keep pushing¡ there is no way.
¡°H, hold on¡ it¡¯s time?! Right, ¡¾Mega Barrier¡¿!!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
She can¡¯t catch me, she can¡¯t step in and attack me, she¡¯s at the mercy of my every move.
The means that Jamdi¡¯el took is to put up a round shield that covers her with magical power to block all attacks.
Originally, for Jamdi¡¯el, who was able to put up the barrier which covered the entirety of Cacretale, it would have been possible to use this kind of magic.
¡°Fuh~¡ let¡¯s calm down a little¡ Earth Lagann¡±
¡°Heh, what is this? The Great Demon King wouldn¡¯t ept such a turn around, war maiden toote to wed¡ Hmm? Or is this maiden too far in age?¡±
¡°Aaaaann?? ¡¡ keen wretch, I won¡¯t lose my temper and fall for thy tricks.¡±
¡¡ tch¡¡±
¡°The man who defeated Machio by making full use of the Great Demon Spiral, Breakthrough, and Magical Breathing¡ my evaluation of thee stopped there, and as a result, thy power ¡¡ nay, I misjudged thy techniques and strategies. I¡¯ll admit that.¡±
She won¡¯t let me provoke her and disrupt herposure again¡ that said, if ites to this point that¡¯s not going to work indefinitely.
The opponent is a battle-hardened Six Supremacy.
The furious expression on her face seemed to have been subdued a bit, and she looked at me as if she were carefully observing me with her Heraldic eye.
¡°But intently¡ a different battle style from both Hiro and Mamu¡ I didn¡¯t try to look beyond the power of the Great Demon, but¡ althoughte, he¡¯s still a mysterious man.¡±
¡ºShe is stalling. Jamdi¡¯el hase to this point and cannot measure your existence. She should have ascertained everything about you from your life and the previous tournaments, but you came here and exceeded all her expectations. She is trying to buy time to calm herself and devise a way to deal with you.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar whispers to me, looking as calm as ever.
Yes, everything is happening like that¡
¡°But¡ once I settle down without falling to the provocation¡ I can also see thy aim. Then, the flow of the battle so far makes sense.¡±
¡ºAnd Jamdi¡¯el giggles¡ releases the Heraldic eye and Breakthrough¡ now that she has calmed down, Jamdi¡¯el realizes how much magic power she has left.¡»
¡°I don¡¯t know who told thee¡ but thebination of the Heraldic eye and breakthrough consumes tremendous magick power¡ even if I can copy all sorts of magick, I can¡¯t use Magical Breathing, which is also a physical technique. In other words, is that thy aim?¡±
¡ºJamdi¡¯el is also aware. Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s greatest weakness ¡ that is¡¡ she is weak in battles of endurance.¡»
¡°If I use the Heraldic eye and Breakthrough¡ I¡¯d be vulnerable in long warfare¡ thou tried to exploit that weakness, didn¡¯t thee?¡±
¡ºOn the battlefield, leading 100,000 soldiers, she also held the position of General, so she did not use her Heraldic eye and Breakthrough indiscriminately¡¡»
¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I was in an actual fight, and I was furious with this cheekyd¡ I almost fell for thy tricks and mockery¡ now, what happens if I release it like this?¡±
¡ºPreservation of magical power. This will prevent the worst case scenario in which it is impossible to defend the child¡¯s Great Magic Spiral and so on due tock of magic power.¡»
Gloating, Jamdi¡¯el returned to normal mode by deactivating her Heraldic eye and Breakthrough.
But, naturally, that¡¯s still more than enough to handle me¡
¡°Tch¡¡±
I click my tongue, regretting that the strategy has been discovered¡ I did my ¡°acting¡±.
¡ºChild ¡¡ tis time to finish up.¡»
Yes, this is all ording to the Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s scenario.
If I got this far, on the contrary, I¡¯m not scared.
¡°Well, even though I lifted Heraldic eye and breakthrough, I also consumed a considerable amount of magick, so I don¡¯t want to use magick in vain any more ¡ and to capture thee without killing thee.¡±
¡ºThere is only martial arts.¡»
¡°There is only martial arts¡ it will be troubling to get past thy misdirection¡ let alone thy fists, which my normal eyes can¡¯t see through¡ but¡¡±
And then Jamdi¡¯el giggles again and realizes something.¡±
Of course, this is also ¡
¡°Thy Great Demon Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡ has a fatal weakness!¡±
¡ºAnd at the same time¡ she also notices your weaknesses, which are not weaknesses at all. Should Jamdi¡¯el exploit that, do not hesitate. I shall give signs and instructions. So¡¡ carry out the final strategy.¡»
That being said, I also grasp ¡°something¡±.
Jamdi¡¯el, who has deactivated the Heraldic eye, is unaware of this.
Yes, everything is in the palm of the Great Demon King¡¯s hand.
Whose watching [Netflix¡¯s Cowboy Bebop] this weekend? If you¡¯ve got time have a look at my reaction to the Original Anime series! Also any requests for anime to react to?
Chapter 171 – ???
Chapter 171 - ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ
¡ºReady? At this point, in order to carry out the final strategy, Jamdi¡¯el must be guided to believe ¡°I have gained the upper hand¡± and ¡°The child has no more moves¡±. For that ¡ you must endure pain. Do you understand? No matter what happens, your ¡°right arm¡± alone must be defended to thest.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar gives me an earful to carry out the final strategy.
I nodded that I understood.
In order to do so, we first need to bring it to the point where Jamdi¡¯el ¡°broke my Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡±.
¡°Let¡¯s go, bluffing woman! If you can catch me, try catching me!¡±
I¡¯m pretty sure my technique can be broken.
If Tre¡¯ainar said so, there is no doubt.
But even so, I activated the technique again with a slight hope that ¡®it can still work¡¯.
¡°It¡¯s not often that the absence of the Heraldic eye is more refreshing, it was a valuable experience in a sense, but ¡ it¡¯s over!¡±
Unlike the state of being upset like before, Jamdi¡¯el smiled fearlessly.
And¡¡
¡°Simple enough. Thou should have guessed as thou moved from the unstable sand field.¡±
¡°Heh, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Water spell¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Haha, I said my magick will be preserved¡ but I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t use it, did I?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el put her hands on the ground and releases magical power.
At that moment, I braced myself, but the magic wasn¡¯t meant to attack me.
It¡¯s just a spell to sprinkle water around me.
If you can add a little more magical power, you could probably use it as a water pistol to attack, but Jamdi¡¯el, who is conserving her magic power, did something much easier.
However, this is actually enough.
¡°Ku¡¡±
Arge amount of water was sprayed around, and the ground became slippery and muddy.
As a result, my footing was messed up.
¡°Yes, it was such an easy thing. After all, thy footwork can only be used on well-supported ground. In fields with sand, mud, water, and so on, thy footwork is useless.¡±
¡°Sh*t¡ my footing¡¡±
¡°But to be honest, I don¡¯t want to get muddied in such a filthy environment either¡ but it¡¯s not like I¡¯m inexperienced. Well, I did admit that I was much too careless!¡±
The next moment, Jamdi¡¯el tore the skirt off her shredded High Priestess long robe down to her thighs. To avoid the skirt getting soaked and making it harder to move.
¡°Now¡ it¡¯s time for thy punishment!¡±
And the next moment, she came towards me with a sharp, pointed smile like a crescent moon.
¡°Tch, ¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Oh dear? A strong punch is struck by stepping hard on the ground¡ but with such poor footing¡ it¡¯s too slow, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, who had been at my mercy until a while ago, lightly flicked away the flicker I released with one hand.
¡°It seems thy usual move is to create a rhythm with the lead left jab and freely control thy opponent, but the jab itself doesn¡¯t work for me anymore!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Even though thou threw a fierce blow, it¡¯s a single shot with no rhythm.¡±
She was able to shrug a jab off and jumped into my bosom at once, so I threw a smash, but it was easily avoided.
And the moment I pushed my fist up with a big swing¡
¡°By the way, it was I who taught Bro how to kick.¡±
¡°Bugho!¡±.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Knee Kick¡¿¡¡±
She reached out to hug me, then jumped and kicked my defenseless stomach with a powerful knee.
All my gastric juices were refluxing! I¡¯m in agony!
¡°Oh, ah¡¡±
A blow that easily prated the physical strengthening of the breakthrough!
¡°Ku, nu, ah¡ ooooooooh!¡±
I was determined not to crawl away from here, so I tried my left again¡
¡°Enough, I grow tired of this.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Because I could be handled easily with one hand, it was easy for Jamdi¡¯el to catch my punch with her palm.
I was grabbed, and then turned to the side¡
¡°I will destroy thee a little.¡±
With my left hand grabbed with one hand, Jamdi¡¯el thrust her fist upwards like an uppercut towards my elbow.
At that moment, my elbow was stretched out¡
¡°Gu, agaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!??¡±
Shattered¡¡
¡°And¡ this will also hurt, right?¡±
¡°Fu, gaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!?¡±
With his left hand grabbed, she pulled back¡ and it popped off! My shoulders! My left shoulder is off!
¡°With this, thou won¡¯t hit that bothersome jab anymore.¡±
¡°tsu, gu¡ you¡¡±
The pain is so intense that I feel nauseous. Not only the arm but also my head resonated. Hot burning pain.
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions were to protect only the right arm and endure all other pain¡ this is tough!
This isn¡¯t just acting.
¡°And now I know more about thee. Thou¡ is unfamiliar with joint techniques, right?¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡°And thy right arm¡¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let you! ¡¾Great Magic Spi¨D¨D¨D¨D!¡±
Enduring the pain, I tried to activate the maelstrom of the Great Magic Spiral to blow Jamdi¡¯el away¡ but¡¡
¡°And if I carelessly cling to thy right arm, I would be repelled by the Great Demon Spiral, so let¡¯s do it this way.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The moment I made the Great Magic Spiral appear, Jamdi¡¯el took advantage of the opening, went around behind me andnded a powerful foot sweep.
In an already precarious ce, my feet werepletely wiped off, and my whole body was mmed into a puddle¡
¡°Gah ¡ huh ¡ ¡°
¡°Well, I could break both legs here and convulse the whole body, but ¡ it¡¯s too much trouble, so let¡¯s just strangle thee down, shall we?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el sat on my back as I fell prone.
¡°tsu¡ damn you¡¡±
So strong. If I let my opponent calm down a bit and put me at a slight disadvantage, is this what I get?
From this position, I will die no matter what I do.
But Jamdi¡¯el, who is trying not to kill me, has only one way to incapacitate me.
¡°I¡¯ll tell thee. For an amateur who is not familiar with joint techniques, this technique can never be reversed.¡±
¡ºHere, child. Jamdi¡¯el will strangle you from behind with an open hold¡ a choke-sleeper! It will be decided here!¡»
And it really happened¡ so far¡¡ I never thought Tre¡¯ainar had read her this far.
All of this was a scenario to bring Jamdi¡¯el to this position.
If anything went wrong, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to bring it this far.
But can you usually read that Jamdi¡¯el would break my left arm?
If I show the Great Magic Spiral first, can you even read that Jamdi¡¯el wouldn¡¯t carelessly try to bypass it and attack my right arm?
You can see into the future, can¡¯t you?
Yes, I knew.
I can¡¯t even hit Jamdi¡¯el properly with my strongest technique, the Great Magic Spiral.
But¡¡
But still subtly¡
¡ºAll right, child, even if you are reluctant, this is an actual battle. Your opponent is Jamdi¡¯el. This is not an opponent with whom you should be concerned about how you win. I acknowledge the value of a fair fight, but you must learn this much in this fight. You may be weaker now, but still, depending on how you do it, you can incapacitate a Six Supremacy.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar spoke to me next to me at the right time, as if I had sensed my delicate feelings.
It¡¯s no wonder, since we¡¯re still connected to each other¡
I know.
Unlike the time with Wacha and Mr. Machio, this is my level at the moment.
You can¡¯t choose how to win against Jamdi¡¯el.
The most important thing now is to win.
I know that.
So, once we¡¯vee this far, all we have to do is execute the strategy.
But¡¡
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar.¡¹
¡ºWhat?¡»
Oh¡¡ why am I¡
¡¸I¡¯ll carry out the strategy, but¡ can you give me a little more time?¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡¡¡¡»
¡¸I know it¡¯s stupid, but¡ but¡¡¹
We¡¯ve set this up so well¡ even though Trina led me here¡ why am I being so selfish ¡¡?
¡¸Just one thing¡¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¯I have something I want to try¡¯¡ is that not right?¡»
¡¸¡¡ Eh?¡¹
¡ºTry it then.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
But Tre¡¯ainar nodded assertively at my words¡
¡ºAs you are now¡¡ I guessed you would say that¡ I read it.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºFuhahahaha, for me who has been reading Jamdi¡¯el so far, you are much easier to anticipate.¡»
¡¸Ugh¡¡¹
¡ºThe terms are limited to the extent that they do not interfere with the final strategy. I will stop you there. Until then¡¡ do give it a try! Though your left arm is broken, your heart is not broken yet!¡»
This master really¡ really¡¡ jeez, thoroughly got me.
¡¸Ossu!¡¹
¡ºSo, first of all, how do we escape from this situation?¡»
¡¸Oh, oh, that¡¯s right!¡¹
I was being straddled on my back, so I couldn¡¯t move.
She¡¯s supposed to have a woman¡¯s lightweight, but I couldn¡¯t shake Jamdi¡¯el off.
Is this a simple technique of Jamdi¡¯el?
What should I do? How? In this situation, I can¡¯t do anything even if I kick my legs or stretch my arm.
The only thing that can reach is¡ voice¡¡ a voice.
¡ºUm¡¡ no choice¡¡ just once¡¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºOnly once¡ you can get through to Jamdi¡¯el¡ with words.¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar had a tremendously subtle expression of reluctance¡
¡ºA, All right? Child ¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡ erm ¡ she has a pretty intense personality, and also speaks foul-mouthed and obscene words¡ actually ¡ tis just ¡ because¡¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
The moment I heard those words, I thought I would be killed¡ but there was nothing else I could do, and above all, they were my master¡¯s words, so I decided to scream.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you notice? You¡ you¡¯ve got¡¡ñ¡ñ¡ñing out a bit!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hoa?¡±
¡ºChiiiiild Do not say that muuuuuuuuch,!!¡»
After Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s angry roar, things quieted down for a moment and Jamdi¡¯el also stopped.
She didn¡¯t get what I was talking about for a moment, but Jamdi¡¯el finally understood the meaning of my words¡
¡°Hiy!? Kyaa. Eh? Wh, wh, wh wha, whaaaaa, eh?¡±
She jumped off my back in a hurry and stared at her own crotch with her face bright red.
Hey hey, that worked.
I see. This person¡¡ after all, she is still ¡ a pure maiden, so it¡¯s okay for her to say it with her own mouth, but does she have no immunity to people pointing these things out to her?
¡°There¡¯s nothing! Thou lie ¡ ah¡¡±
And Jamdi¡¯el yelled at me after confirming that there is no problem in her delicate ce, but she finally understood what had happened there.
¡°Ah, thou fooled me!!??
For a moment, I unexpectedly thought she was cute, but I can try it with this. What I came up with¡

Chapter 172 - Going All Out
I¡¯ll give it a try here.
Even if this environment is unfavorable to me, I can hold my own.
¡°Thoooooouuuu¡ tte, using arge spell here would cause a cataclysm, is that what thou seeks, wretch¡ fu, fu, fu. drat, how I wish to snap thy neck¡ but¡¡ anyway, I¡¯ll strangle thee right away!!¡±
¡°Hah, hah¡e and do it¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, who blushed bright red and was furious, but assumed that this was also my strategy to disrupt her concentration and make her use magic, tried to calm down while taking several deep breaths.
In a way, I was lucky.
¡°Fuh~, thy left arm is no good¡ can¡¯t even use thy footwork¡ and only have thy right hand to guard! In such state, what can thou do?¡±
¡°Here I go¡¡±
¡°Such desperation, the Great Demon Spiral? Does thou believe that would work on me¡
Jamdi¡¯el wasing to finish me of. On the other hand, I¡
¡°Terra Spell, ¡¾Megaroad¡¿!¡±
Squatting down, I put my hand on the muddied ground with my right hand, and I channel my magic.
And¡¡
¡°¡¡ ha? Mega-ss? That¡¯s just, a slight control of the ground and a little paving¡¡ hmm? Ah¡¡±
Terran Attribute Spell. If it is strong enough, it can create cracks in the ground, cause earthquakes, sometimes makerge holes, and build huge rock walls like mountains.
That said, I can¡¯t go that far.
The magic that I casted now was, at best, to increase the amount of soil under my feet and prepare footholds ¡ yes ¡ setting up footholds ¡ that¡¯s good enough.
¡°¡¡ wh, what is it?! Oh¡ footing!?
¡ºYes, child. As I taught during your first training¡ you are highly proficient with the ¡®terra attribute¡¯¡ but that does not mean that you should attack with terra attribute magic. If youck the ground to stand on, create it with your own hands!¡»
What was a mess of mud and water around me has been restored¡ that¡¯s enough!
¡°Let¡¯s go, ¡¾Great Demon ? Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
¡°Thou wreeeetch! Another trick! Then, this time I will make the ground impossible to restore with magick of thy level¡ no! If I use magick here¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el tried to ruin the ground again in a rage, but quickly stopped her hand.
Yes, if you use that much magic¡ that might have crossed her mind momentarily.
But I¡¯m not one to miss that moment.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Nuku!¡±
Rather, I closed the distance.
¡°Kuh¡ fine then,e at me!¡±
At this point, even the quintessential Jamdi¡¯el will be thinking about the offense and defense we have just gone through.
What kind of footwork will I use next¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Look Away¡¿¡±
¡°¡¡ ha? ¡¡eh??¡±
That¡¯s why I looked away with my feet solid without considering footwork.
This seemed to have beenpletely unexpected, and Jamdi¡¯el waspletely caught¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Light Jab¡¿¡±
¡°D, damn¡¡ eh??¡±
I can¡¯t use my left arm. That said, even though I looked away, it wasn¡¯t naive enough to hit a right full swing at Jamdi¡¯el. There was no time to try the Great Magic Spiral either.
Inevitably, I switched to the southpaw andnded a right short jab on Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s chin.
¡°Ah¡ kah¡ a¡¡±
The next moment, Jamdi¡¯el knelt on the ground on the spot, even though she did not lose consciousness.
I hit a woman in the face ¡ thatester!
¡°Hah~, hah~¡ How¡¯s thaaaaaaat!!¡±
That was the moment when my fist brought a Six Supremacy down to one knee.
And¡¡
¡°Wretch¡¡±
¡°And¡ ¡¾Great Magic Spiral!¡±
¡°Eh!?
¡°I¡¯m going to end this, Jamdi¡¯el!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was on a knee in front of me and couldn¡¯t stand yet. At this opportunity, I released the Great Magic Spiral.
Create a spiral that will push everything into the right arm, make it spin, and make it roar!
It wasn¡¯t a shockwave anymore. I¡¯ll hammer it in directly.
¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll thrust this in. You won¡¯t die, but it will disable you enough!¡±
It¡¯s no longer the time to think about killing, not killing, or about life.
Just, give me all you¡¯ve got!
¡°Earth Spiral Break¡¿!!!!¡±
¡°Uwaauah, Brakesruoooou!!¡±
The moment I tried to hit the huge spiral I raised into Jamdi¡¯el, she activated the Breakthrough and Heraldic Eyes just in time.
¡°Kuaaaah!!¡±
And, she thrust both hands into my spiral, which was about to roar and thrust, and tried to catch it by force.
¡°Wh,at, Just quit!? ¡¡ eh¡ nuh¡ Get blooooooooooownn!!!!¡±
¡°Releeeeeeeeeeeeent! I Am The Dark Valkyrie, Jamdi¡¯el! Feel the might of a Demon General and Six Supremacy!
My roar and Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s intertwined. One more step. I can push through little more.
¡ºOne more¡ tis so, not yet¡ from this point. You only need take one step closer.¡»
¡°Tera¡ no¡¡ my magick is already¡ fiiiine, ¡¾Gigaspaaaaaaaaaaark¡¿!!!!.¡±
¡°Oh¡ sogaaaaaaaaah!¡±
Her thunderous roar, as if the sky had burst, lightly drowned out the roar of my spiral.
But I understood.
Jamdi¡¯el also went all out.
A big shot that has made a name for itself in the history of the world has exerted everything they had left on me.
The result¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°Hah~, hah~¡¡±
An offset.
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s breakthrough defense and the Giga-ss lightning she shot cancelled out my Great Magic Spiral.
I couldn¡¯t push it all the way.
One more step.
But¡¡
¡°Oh¡ kuh¡ all my magick power¡ tte, eyes¡ but¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was down on both knees this time.
Yes, literally, Jamdi¡¯el was dried out. Magic power.
But still¡
¡°Even so, I still have enough physical strength to drop thee!!
I¡¯ve also used all my magic power, but I can recover it with Magical Breathing.
But then Jamdi¡¯el jumped at me so as not to give me the time.
¡°Goodness¡ what an unthinkable fellow¡ thou is.¡±
She weighed down on me, pushed me up, turned her arms under my armpits, squeezed my neck with both arms, and kept me on the ground.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Arm Triangle Choke¡¿!¡±
¡°Tsuo, i, oooooh, ogo!¡±
¡°It¡¯s also called an arm triangle choke, but ¡ fall as thou is!!
¡°Hagu, ga, gah¡±
¡°It¡¯s no use struggling, in this position, ¡®Even if my body is touched¡¯, no punch can hit anything!¡±
As soon as the carotid artery is firmly restricted, my breathing and consciousness are¡ a joint technique¡ it¡¯s difficult to punch once it¡¯s assembled, and it¡¯s a challenge going forward.
¡ºOh¡ and, although tis slightly different from the original n¡ this position is fine.¡»
Held down to the ground, struggling, Tre¡¯ainar nodded on my head and I bent my hips a little¡
¡ºThe aforementioned n?¡»
¡¸It was dangerous, but¡ in this right hand, I¡¯ve been holding on¡¡¹
¡ºWell¡then, tis right here.¡»
Then Tre¡¯ainar pointed to a part of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s body where my right hand could somewhat reach.
He¡¯s telling you to aim there.
¡°So¡ ry¡ wh¡ dele¡±
¡°What is it? What is thou saying?¡±
I¡¯m sorry, Jamdi¡¯el.
At first, it was two-on-one.
Then, one-on-one along the way.
And, it was two-on-one in the end.
If it were true, you would have won.
You were stronger.
In the first ce, if you were ¡°willing to kill¡± me, it would have ended sooner.
It¡¯s your attempt to keep from killing me that¡¯s gotten us this far.
I¡¯m still getting stronger, too.
But now¡ I can¡¯t afford to lose and stay in this country forever, and I can¡¯t have children with Kron¡ that¡¯s why¡¡ I¡¯m going to have you incapacitated here.
Of course, I can¡¯t say that I beat you, because I don¡¯t think that in the slightest.
¡°My¡ bad.¡±
¡°Eh!?
And I ¡®pierced¡¯ what I¡¯ve been holding in my right hand to a part of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s shoulder.
¡°What¡? Needle¡? Thou, hid something like this¡ in thy hand¡±
Yes, a needle. I stabbed the hidden needle into Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s shoulder.
After all, even though she¡¯s a monster, it¡¯s hard to pierce a woman¡¯s body with a needle ¡ really ¡ forgive me.
¡°Hmm, but not even a knife, thou cannot believe this slight sting will have me break my technique¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el smiled immediately, even though she was surprised for a moment.
Yes, this doesn¡¯t do any damage to Jamdi¡¯el.
However, it depends on where you stab.
¡°Wha¡¡ ah¡¡ nuh¡¡ ah¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el also noticed right away. That something strange was happening to her body.
I know.
Because I also ¡ have ¡°experience¡± with this.
¡°¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deehh¡±
Jamdi¡¯el gave an unspeakable exmation.
She had already let go of me and just slumped over.
¡°Gah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, gah, wh, nu, ah, wh, what is? What did thou do!?¡±
Yes, I have also experienced this.
The feeling like your internal organs were exploding, the whole body was lit on fire.
The feeling of your wounds being scooped out with a distorted de running through the entire body.
¡°Gaaaaaaaah, ga, nu, aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!¡±
Even Jamdi¡¯el, among the world¡¯s most powerful ss, was driven insane.
After all, it hurts¡
¡°¡¡ You have a closed magic hole¡ I pried it open.¡±
¡°Wha, ga, ma, magi, hoooooole?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not going to die, but I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t do anything else today because of the severe pain.¡±
This was the only way¡ I¡¯m still weak, I had nothing but this move¡
¡°Yeah ¡ I see ¡ you¡¯ve used up your magic power¡ the barrier is gone, too.¡±
For a while, I felt like I couldn¡¯t do it, but even so, the mission was aplished for the time being, so I was relieved.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you very much, everyone.
Well, I¡¯m sure some of you already know this, but I would like to make one report.
We are going to have a baby.
The due date is December.
Actually, a few months ago, I entered the most popr period of my life, and a person who said ¡°I will give birth to your child¡± appeared, and this time I will have that person give birth.
From now on, I will be in a position with various responsibilities, but I will continue to do my best with responsibility so that I can raise my child properly as a parent.
By the way, the person who will give birth to my child is called ¡°Earth Star Novel¡±, and the child who is born is called ¡°Novelization¡±.
For some reason, I feel destined to be born to someone with the same name as the main character of this novel.
Hopefully, I really want to be a star, but as a parent, I don¡¯t want that much luxury, and I think it would be fine if they were born safely.
Also, I am able to be a parent in this way thanks to everyone who has supported me to this day.
Thank you very much.
I will continue to do my best, and thank you very much for your continued support.
Aim for that star shining beyond the heavens!

Chapter 173 – That’s Enough
Chapter 173 - That¡¯s Enough
I wouldn¡¯t say I won, but I can just say I survived.
Doesn¡¯t matter if it was two-on-one, the opponent was Jamdi¡¯el.
I did what I had to do against the rival of my father and mother, heroes that I had beenpared to for years.
Adapted to the situation against my opponent, though I sacrificed my left arm.
I mean, I¡¯m already burning up from the fracture and dislocation, but I don¡¯t feel any pain anymore.
It¡¯ll heal properly, right? Should I ask Sadiz to use a recovery spell?
¡°tsu, ah¡ ugh, Earth¡ Lagaaaann~!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
I can¡¯t stand up yet. Her expression was still distorted by pain, though she was not the type to indefinitely scream in pain.
¡°Hah, hah¡ forcibly pried my magic hole with a needle¡ thou did? Don¡¯t say such nonsense¡ even by a slight deviation, for thou it is impossible¡ wretch¡ not even I can urately grasp, cannot possibly pinpoint closed magic holes¡ urately¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s question is natural. That is, Jamdi¡¯el couldn¡¯t see them even though she possesses the Heraldic Eye, but I had only ordinary eyes, it should be impossible.
¡°Could it¡ God¡ perhaps he¡¯s on thy side.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Well, from Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s point of view, God is Tre¡¯ainar, so in a sense, it¡¯s true.
¡°Guh, stop, thy jest¡ thou is saying that God helped thee?¡±
¡°If you¡¯re going against god¡¯s true will, wouldn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°What!¡±
¡°You know, about Jos¨¦¡ and Kron¡¡±
The corners of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes moved at my words. After all, she was aware of it. What I was talking about.
¡°Silence¡ wretch¡ what¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Yeah, fine. I don¡¯t feel like saying anything about it anymore¡ I¡¯m not a friend of Jos¨¦¡¯s.¡±
¡°Nuu?¡±
¡°Just¡ me and Kron, we¡¯ll decide what we want¡ whether it means your wishes wille true or not¡ hope you understand that.¡±
I¡¯m not one to lecture Jamdi¡¯el, and I¡¯m not trying to change anything.
However, I can¡¯t let her decide for me without permission.
¡°Ah ¡ do ¡ not jest ¡ aaaaaaaaa! Stop thy jest! Why, thou wretch¡ to not understand parent and childe together! Thou dare disregard the existence of God? Why not acknowledge the existence of God, who should be at the top¡ guiding this world!¡±
The angry words of Jamdi¡¯el¡¡ ¡°Parent and child together¡±, that was wholly unexpected.
Because I¡
¡°¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡°Do not speak the name of God lightly! Wretch, what art thou? While inheriting the techniques of the Great Demon¡¡ why¡¡ why despise the existence of God!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t take it lightly¡ I¡¡±
Without Tre¡¯ainar¡ if I hadn¡¯t met Tre¡¯ainar, I wouldn¡¯t be¡
¡ºChild ¡¡ tis enough¡¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar stopped, looking down at the ring Jamdi¡¯el with little pity.
¡ºThis one, I¡¯ve known her for over a hundred years¡ and nothing I can say will change her entrenched opinion of me¡ even if you¡ convey my words to her¡ like with that maid¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ but¡¡¹
¡ºTis fine. You fought here, not to defeat Jamdi¡¯el nor to refute Jamdi¡¯el. Tis about dispelling the barriers so you may go out into the world. Tis the personal freedom of the individual to think what they will about whom.¡»
¡¸But¡ are you okay with that?¡¹
¡ºI am already dead. As long as I cannot be seen and my voice cannot be heard, if this is something that Jamdi¡¯el, who has spent hundreds of years with me and sometimes fought with me, thinks of me¡ that is her truth. So¡¡ let her think what she will.¡»
A little harshly, Tre¡¯ainar whispered to me, as he looked at Jamdi¡¯el, who had once been his confidant.
Hundreds of years¡ even if it¡¯s a selfish belief, if she¡¯s been thinking that way for hundreds of years, it was true for Jamdi¡¯el. And I don¡¯t know if Tre¡¯ainar gave up at some point or if it was concern for Jamdi¡¯el, who cared only for her own thoughts, but I felt that it was an area that I could not enter.
¡ºHowever, if you want to restore this country utopia to its original form, or if you are displeased with the manner in which Jamdi¡¯el reigns, in that sense you intend to overthrow Jamdi¡¯el, and that is a different matter¡¡»
¡¸Tch¡¡ well¡ yes¡¡ that¡¯s¡¡¹
It¡¯s been less than half a year since I met him, and I felt that there were things I didn¡¯t understand¡ I hesitated a little, but as Tre¡¯ainar said, I decided not to say any more.
¡°For now, while the barrier is down, me and Sadiz are leaving the country. The rest is up to you.¡±
¡°Eh, w, wait¡ wait! Lady, Kron¡ at least¡¡±
¡°If possible we can exchange letters¡¡±
¡°S¡ coun¡ drel!¡±
At that moment, Jamdi¡¯el has a face full of despair and crawled towards me, unable to get up¡
¡°Why, disrupt my n! Why, didn¡¯t things work my way! Even though I got Lady Kron motivated with great care¡ same as thee! The fulfillment of my 15-year n¡ why, is thou the one toe here, and get in the way! The heroes took God from me, and now his son¡ stands in my way!¡±
She grabbed my ankle, struggling with the severe pain from her pried open magic hole, but she red at me with a look of utter misery.
Certainly, as Tre¡¯ainar said, I felt again that there was nothing I could do about this fellow in this state.
If I were to be approached by such a Jamdi¡¯el, I would¡
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡¡ that¡¯s enough.¡±
¡°¡±Huh!!??¡±¡±
I didn¡¯t know how long she was there.
But when we turned our heads toward the voice, there¡
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, let go of Earth.¡±
¡°Lady Kron! B, but, but!¡±
¡°I told you, didn¡¯t I? Jamdi¡¯el¡¡ please¡¡ enough¡¡ already¡ can¡¯t you consider it?¡±
It seemed to ovep with what Tre¡¯ainar said to me earlier.
Kron stood there with a sad expression, just like Tre¡¯ainar now, as if she were a substitute for Tre¡¯ainar, whose words and appearance could not reach Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°High Priestess¡¡±
¡°Master¡¡±
And, besides her were Elder Sis Tsukshi, the dojo guys, and Sadiz.
Was everyone here?
Well, since we were fighting that hard, they would be worried about that¡
What about Jos¨¦ and the others?
That said, I didn¡¯t realize that so many people had gathered, I wasn¡¯t in the proper state of mind at that point.
And, it was the same for Jamdi¡¯el.
That¡¯s why, I didn¡¯t notice.
During the battle, the dark cloud from which Jamdi¡¯el had brought down two huge thunderbolts was gone, but above the clouds, something evenrger and somewhat unnatural was about to cover the area directly above us.
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone, thank you for your support.
Thank you very much for your congrattions yesterday.
I hope you check it out in December.
And I think that what you are most interested in is the picture of the characters.
I have already seen this with author privileges. I already like it very much.
So, for the time being, I¡¯m reporting here, but I¡¯m ying around with the character¡¯s hair color as it bes a novel.
So, I am sorry that I will modify the description of the hair color of the characters in this novel in the future.
We will announce it when the timees.
I¡¯m looking forward to the lifting of the ban on character pictures and covers.
And speaking of character pictures, I understand who you care most about.
That guy ¡ isn¡¯t it? You¡¯re curious about that picture.
Earth? No, it should be different.
Yes, I know.
I¡¯d really like to ask you to check it in a book, but at least I¡¯m thinking about whether he can be published a little sooner.
Just Fu Meday¡ w
Well, if you say that you really wanted to see Fu, that would be confusing¡
Chapter 174 – Flower
Chapter 174 - Flower
¡°Ah, Li, Little man¡ Little man¡¯s arm¡¡±
Although she¡¯s usually strict, Sadiz was quite overprotective of me, she goes into a terrible panic when I go to bed with a fever or get injured.
At such times, Sadiz enters pamper mode, but¡ I can¡¯t get spoiled by her right now¡
¡°Then, for the time being, I¡¯ll just put the shoulder back in and fix the arm¡ oh, my¡ no, even if he¡¯s not mine anymore, he¡¯s still Little man¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, give me a recovery spell. It will heal faster.¡±
¡ºIt would be better to take time to heal fractures and dislocations naturally rather than forcibly with magic, also healing them with the surrounding muscles will be preventive measure¡ well, I suppose we have no choice at the moment?¡»
¡°Uh~, this is so unreasonable¡ just who in the world was it? The brute that thought up such an unreasonable and reckless strategy ¡¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡±
¡ºNu¡¡ a, against Jamdi¡¯el, the cost of one left arm is a bargain¡¡»
While being snuggled up by Sadiz, she sits down on the spot to treat my left arm, which no longer hurts much.
In the meantime, we were watching Kron gently care for the fallen Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°Lady Kron¡ what¡ just, I¡¯m okay¡ thou has to make a child with Earth Lagann now¡¡±
¡°Yes, but Earth has his own will. I don¡¯t think we can force it.¡±
¡°But!¡±
¡°Still, Earth is not saying he absolutely won¡¯t. He says we can exchange letters. That¡¯s why I, Earth, start as friends and then write a lot of love letters. That¡¯s how I¡¯ll make him like me.¡±
The original procedure for a man and woman getting intimate. Kron tried to persuade Jamdi¡¯el by saying so.
But, Jamdi¡¯el was it not one to be convinced by such nonchnt words.
¡°What¡ such a leisurely affair! Correspondence¡ how long would that take¡ ¡°
¡°Well, is that so? It takes¡ a long time¡ hmm¡ hey, Earth. If we start with correspondence and things go well, what other steps will we take and how long until I have your child?¡±
And it seems that Kron doesn¡¯t really understand how much it actually takes to get ¡°there¡± either.
How long does it take for a man and a woman to start correspondence and then get to having children? That¡¯s what I want to know!
Well, what I imagined is¡
¡°Er, well¡ let me see, that¡¯s it. Starting with letters or exchange diaries¡ then go on a date¡ go shopping, to a museum, or a y¡ buy matching essories¡ have a personally made lunch box and go on a pic¡ umm~, get to hold hands¡ have ap pillow¡ arm in arm on a cold day, wrapping our necks together with a long muffler¡ maybe a lock with a picture of the two of us sharing an umbre on it somewhere¡ after that, we confess our feelings to each other¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!? That¡¯s the story before even having a rtionship at that point!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Whoa, that was surprising!? When I was exining to Kron how men and women would progress, I suddenly got retorted by the people around me.
Moreover, even Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui!?
Why? Did I say something weird?
¡°Th, that¡¯s right, confession from there¡¡ that¡¡ under the legendary tree¡ a ce where a couple who confessed and epted can be much happier¡ after that, it should be the original ideal to be lovers!¡±
¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Wh, what is it, everybody! Oh, I see ¡ is the culture different because this is a secluded nation?¡±
¡º¡±No, no, not at all¡¡±¡»
That? Now, both Tre¡¯ainar and Jamdi¡¯el were also retorting at the same time¡ only Sadiz nodded with a relieved, ¡°mm-hmm¡±¡
¡°How wonderful! I want to be lovers through such ideals!¡±
¡°O, oh, is that right?¡±
¡°Yes! I don¡¯t know where the legendary tree is, but I¡¯ll do my best!¡±
But Kron alone nodded with a twinkle in her eye.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll have such a rtionship with Earth¡¡±
¡°That would take too much time! Such a leisurely affair¡ to begin with, Earth Lagann is going to leave the country as it is!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll be exchanging letters!¡±
¡°Correspondence¡ this country is a secluded nation, so we cannot receive mail from other countries!¡±
¡°Ah¡ hmm~¡ that¡¯s right! How about using a magic crystal to talk every day?¡±
¡°On those grounds, do not gloss over such a sluggish pace, push him down now, secure him, and copte!¡±
Wow, even if Kron herself agreed, it seemed that Jamdi¡¯el was still not convinced.
However, at the time with me, she was like, ¡°don¡¯t y around, I¡¯ll kill you¡±, but as expected, with Kron as the other party, she can¡¯t seem to yell at her, and I feel that she¡¯s being pushed by Kron¡¯s pace.
¡°Um~, High Priestess¡ what the heck¡¡ what are you in such a hurry for?¡±
Then, although it wasn¡¯t a timely help at that point, Elder Sis Tsukshi, who was unable to just watch, stepped into their conversation.
¡°I also knew about the honorable role given to the winner of this tournament¡ I only thought about myself, so I just thought that I didn¡¯t want Machio to win¡ but¡¡ if Earth and the goddess mutually consent regarding the creation of the next god¡ it doesn¡¯t have to be right away¡ it¡¯s okay to have a fianc¨¦ rtionship¡ is what I think~¡¡±
If both parties agree to a normal rtionship, not fate or a mission, it doesn¡¯t have to be right now¡ it was an opinion typical of Elder Sis Tsukshi, a maiden in love.
And I was certainly bothered by Elder Sis Tsukshi¡¯s words.
Jamdi¡¯el was impatient¡ why is that?
And hearing those words, my mind went to Wacha, who wasn¡¯t here right now.
Maybe something¡
¡°Agreed, she is still but a buddingss¡ forcing such a flower to bloom and scatter does not impress¡ also, I find the boy¡¯s view of love adorable. I believe we should respect their opinions as well.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, I heard a new voice¡ the words we heard weren¡¯t from within our circle.
A voice I¡¯ve never heard before. I turned around with the others in the direction of the voice.
And there was¡ someone¡?
¡°At least, thou art a flower that already withered. Should such be indefinitely left unattended, it would bring harm to the flower garden.¡±
A mysterious figure was sitting on a boulder that rolled over wastnd during the battle between me and Jamdi¡¯el, looking down on us.
Pale golden hair. It¡¯s not particrly long, but they smiled as they brushed their bangs up over their eyes with their hand, seemingly troubled by it.
White skin. Limbs thin and long.
¡°Look, the previous king did not handle¡ the negative flowers¡ so it falls to me to recover them for the sake of the surface and for the world.¡±
When they stood up, that slender ¡¡ how should I put it ¡¡ people are not born equal, such a tall slender stature¡ and what¡¯s with that overly neat face? I mean, such superior eyshes!?
Wearing a cloak-like robe with a white base tone, on their waist was a sword so majestic, it gave the impression of sanctity.
But what caught my attention more than that was the person¡¯s face.
To be honest, I¡¯ve seen some handsome people in my life. Rebal was in such a ss.
Jos¨¦? That guy¡¯s a waste.
But unlike Rebal, who has a cool knightly feeling, this one is¡
¡°Heh¡?¡±
¡°Who?¡±
¡°Huh¡¡±
¡°Whoa¡¡±
¡°So hot¡¡±
¡°This is the coolest¡¡ person I¡¯ve ever seen in my life.¡±
Somehow, most of the sisters and women have their cheeks flushed with their faces puffy.
It¡¯s like a ¡¡ nobleman from a story? No, like a prince¡ that¡¯s the feeling.
¡°Fufu, aw, I thank thee, thou art quite pretty as well. Such flowers¡ it would please me if thou could only bloom before me.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Wow¡ maybe now¡ all the men here would have thought¡ this guy is so dead.
This is the first time I¡¯ve ever been so annoyed by a guy winking at women.
Well, some¡
¡°¡¡ I feel like stoning him¡¡±
¡°Hey, Amae!? That¡¯s rude!? Well, he¡¯s a bit pompous, but¡¡ big sister?¡±
¡°I prefer Machio¡¡±
For the time being, it seemed that these three sisters did not approve.
¡°Little man¡ I¡¯ve never seen someone looking like a theater troupe member before¡
¡°Yeah.¡±
I was a little relieved that Sadiz wasn¡¯t fawning over him.
However, it doesn¡¯t seem to be a normal person.
¡ºThis feeling¡¡»
And when Tre¡¯ainar saw the person who appeared, he noticed something. What the hell¡¡
¡°Who is thou¡ besides¡¡ this¡¡ sense about thee¡ surely not¡ thou!¡±
¡°Oh, who might this be? Thou art very beautiful, but¡ have I not seen thee before?¡±
¡°Ah, Lady Kron! Please step back¡ª¡±
The same thing happened with Jamdi¡¯el, who noticed something.
ring, but the next moment opened her eyes astonished.
In a hurry, she tried to keep Kron away¡ but¡¡
¡°As thy¡¡ distant sessor¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°I too have the same eyes as thee¡¡±
When the person put effort into his eyes while smiling, they suddenly glowed and a familiar pattern appeared in his eyes¡
¡°What is that!?¡±
¡º¡¡ Heraldic eyes¡¡»
The eyes were unmistakable, and the Heraldic eye which I had been fighting until a little while ago.
¡°And by the order of¡ daddy¡¡ nay¡¡ the new heavenly king, I havee to capture thee¡¡±
¡°What¡ ridiculous¡ too soon!?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡ we -¡°
And the moment the person raised his hand, we finally realized.
A huge, unnaturally shaped cloud loomed over us in the sky above, and from that cloud¡
¡°Wh, what¡ is that?¡±
¡°Angels¡?¡±
¡°¡¡¡ No way¡¡±
¡°Pegasus?¡±
Women of beauty and dignity with white wings pping.
¡°Fufufu, it appears my lovely little birds are here as well.¡±
Like the ¡°Valkyries¡± of myth and fairy tale which first came to mind, women wearing armor were heading here one after another from the sky.
Moreover, I can hear the voices of women screaming, ¡°Please wait¡± or ¡°Don¡¯t go alone¡± with considerable panic.
¡°We observed as the barrier suddenly unraveled so I entered¡ what sequence of event led thee to such a state¡ thou hast left me little disappointed, but let me fulfill my mission, shall I? Elder!¡±
And, at the moment when he said that, white wings appeared from his back.
You¡¯re not human, are you?
Most of the people were stunned or just fascinated, and everyone was speechless at this sudden appearance and sudden surge.
Huh¡¡? No, really, what is this?
Author¡¯s Note
Right now, I have a picture of the characters in my hand, and I also have a cover, but it¡¯s too early to show it to everyone. Please note that I cannot make this decision by myself.
Chapter 175 – Facts
Chapter 175 - Facts
¡°I will have thee secured, Elder Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°Why, so¡soon¡¡±
¡°A certain man informed me on thee.¡±
¡°what? ¡ridiculous¡ to know I¡¯m here¡ certainly not, was it the White Fiend?¡±
¡°Hmm? Nay, it was not. He¡¯s somewhat strange¡ quite a merry fellow.¡±
He told Jamdi¡¯el, who was already incapable of resisting.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ to be arrested? What¡¡±
¡°ts¡ ugh, my magick¡ and this pain¡ drat, at this hour.¡±
¡°Eh, Jamdi¡¯el! Don¡¯t overdo it¡
¡°Please step back¡¡ Lady Kron¡ ha¡±.
The Valkyries with pping wings were appearing one after another through the clouds. Some even rode on a Pegasus.
The Pegasus¡ was really there¡
¡°Captain, don¡¯t proceed alone without permission!¡±
¡°This is Jamdi¡¯el we are dealing with! And we know not what¡¯s on the surface!¡±
¡°My prince!¡±
¡°Indeed, prince¡ our prince¡¡±
We were so stunned, but they wouldn¡¯t wait over there either.
¡°Apologies, my lovely little birds- I just lost myself. I forgot my position ¡ wanted personal credit¡ for daddy¡ for His Majesty¡¯s approval. I¡¯m sorry, to disturb thy hearts and make thee cry due to my personal feelings.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Prince ¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°How about as an apology, tonight¡ would you so cutely purr in my bed?¡±
¡°¡±Eeehh!!??¡±¡±
What kind of mentality does this guy have to be able to say that with impunity?
I mean, really what is it?
Beautiful, dignified women who appeared are calling out, ¡°captain¡± or ¡°prince¡± toward this temperament.
No, not dignified. The women had feminine swooning(Deredere) expressions.
Or rather, ¡°prince?¡±.
¡°Who are these people!¡±
¡°How do I put it, somehow~, isn¡¯t this dangerous?
¡°They have the same ¡¡ feathers ¡¡ as the High Priestess.¡±
¡°Even armed¡ the heck¡¡±
For the time being, I understood that it was apparently a troublesome situation.
It seemed Jamdi¡¯el was their goal¡
¡ºThe Seraphs¡ tis been a while since I have seen any other than Jamdi¡¯el¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ what are the Seraphs?¡¹
¡ºThose of the legendary country residing in the sky of the world ¡¡»
¡¸The sky!? Hold on, t, th, they really exist?¡¹
I have read such picture books since I was a kid.
I was free to explore the world with Tre¡¯ainar, I¡¯ve said some of the things I¡¯ve said in jest, but I never really thought they would really happen¡ I mean, isn¡¯t Jamdi¡¯el a demon?
¡°Hey, what are you suddenly doing? This country is off limits to people from other countries without permission!¡±
¡°What do you want with the High Priestess?¡±
¡°As you can see, the Master is not in good physical condition right now. Can you backter?¡±
¡°If you still want to use force, you can go to¡¡±
¡°We¡¯re not going to just stay quiet, are we?¡±
¡°Women, I¡¯m not interested in your asses.¡±
All of them have a beauty that is to be admired. But still, the dojo guys stepped forward, wary of the fact that they came down armed and without warning.
However, as if undaunted by the air of such men, the prince or whatever smiled in a leisurely manner.
¡°High Priestess? Oh dear¡¡ I didn¡¯t know thou called thyself that¡ she is no apostle of God, but a betrayer of God who was fascinated by the Devil.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°She has betrayed our Great God, our nation, our king and our race. And turned away all the thousands of Warrior Maidens sent to bring her back, causing enormous damage to the Ang Kingdom.¡±
Because they were in this country, the residents were ignorant of the past war, the Demon King¡¯s army, and anything like that in the first ce.
Therefore, everyone epted Jamdi¡¯el, who is known worldwide as a Six Supremacy, without knowing it, and because she could put out wings, they would have believed that she was an apostle of God.
It¡¯s no wonder everyone, except me and Sadiz, was surprised.
¡°The predecessors of our king, fearful of such strength, refused to interfere with Jamdi¡¯el and the Surface world. But the newly enthroned king has risen to reim our pride as the true messengers of God. Does thou see? That woman is ¡ a devil.¡±
I nced over at Tre¡¯ainar for a moment.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar nodded firmly when he felt my gaze.
¡ºTis all true. She became my subordinate, and for a time she brought down the sky warriors who tried to bring her back to the best of her abilities. Her formerrades¡¡»
Even after Tre¡¯ainar died, she still makes bronze statues and clones. That¡¯s the crazy faith of Jamdi¡¯el.
It wouldn¡¯t be strange to get rid of her old friends.
Besides, even from the human side, Jamdi¡¯el has one of the highest bounties on her.
I mean, apart from that, they¡¯re not doing anything wrong¡
¡°No, no way¡ master is¡¡±
¡°The High Priestess¡ a devil?¡±
¡°L, lie, the High Priestess saved us¡¡±
¡°Yes, she trained us and made us so strong!¡±
Those who have believed in and adored Jamdi¡¯el seemed to be confused and disoriented.
No wonder. Jamdi¡¯el might have had other intentions for all of them, but it wasn¡¯t bad for them as a result.
It was hidden because this was a secluded nation that did not interfere with other countries.
She got involved in a revolution to change this country for her own convenience.
She tried to make something powerful for an iprehensible and crazy idea, such as the creation of the next generation of God.
Everything has the circumstances of Jamdi¡¯el, and it was not something she did for this country or its people.
But still, as long as it was all for them, it¡¯s no wonder they can¡¯t believe the prince¡¯s words.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ a devil¡¡? That¡¯s a lie!¡±
And most of all, if the prince¡¯s words were true¡
¡°Jamdi¡¯el has worked to this day to fulfill God¡¯s mission! She has saved and guided so many people! She has served me, the Goddess, for more than ten years now! Jamdi¡¯el cannot be a devil!¡±
When she didn¡¯t believe the prince¡¯s words, Kron refutes with a resolute attitude.
I¡¯ve never seen Kron with such a serious face.
But¡¡
¡°Goddess? Fufufu, certainly thou is quite cute, but art thou¡ a demon?¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°I see¡ thou is¡ a pitiful doll. I will have theee with us as well.¡±
This is something that neither I nor Sadiz ever mentioned because we thought it was too much to ask.
For those in this country, they don¡¯t know much about the existence of the ¡°demon tribe¡±.
And the true identity of Kron, who was revered as a goddess.
¡°Scoundrel! Thou would dare disrespect Lady Kron ¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°¡±¡±¡±Securing!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Eh¡ the little devil¡ as well¡±
The moment Jamdi¡¯el tried to grab the prince, the Valkyries sealed Jamdi¡¯el all at once with thences in their hands, held her down, and stopped the tip of the de just short.
These guys¡
¡°Hmm ¡ fast ¡ I wonder, these people ¡¡±
¡°Hey, hey, what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°These guys! I won¡¯t forgive you just because you¡¯re women!¡±
¡°Wanna go? Oh! Wanna go at it?¡±
The moment the Valkyries pulled out their weapons, the situation waspletely out of hand.
It¡¯s an air where the people who still adore Jamdi¡¯el raise their voices and their fists were about to burst out.
¡°Fufufu, how vexing¡ we¡¯re not to hunt weeds on the ground yet, so we must keep things civil.¡±
¡°Please calm down, everyone! And you should let go of Jamdi¡¯el too!¡±
¡°Oh, thou art so cute, and also¡ so pathetic in so many ways.¡±
The prince stillughed even in such an atmosphere. However, his manner evidently seemed ready to move at any time.
¡°Apparently, though this country is on the surface, they don¡¯t know any more about this world or the demons than we do. Well, I too was the same until a few years ago¡ when I met that man.¡±
¡°Devil ¡? What is a devil? I¡¯m Goddess Kron! I¡¯m of divine blood¡¡±
¡°God? Nay. There is but one god in this world. Only our Great God. And thou art¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
He¡¯s just stating the facts. It¡¯s correct information, so it¡¯s not a bad thing.
I know that, too.
But¡ I wonder why¡
¡°Hey, leave it at that.¡±
¡°¡¡ hmm?¡±
¡°You may havee here because of your circumstances, but the people in this country have their own circumstances. Don¡¯t you talk so flippantly with that disgusting, forced smile?¡±
I found myself getting up¡
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Little man!¡±
¡°Mr. Earth!¡±
¡°Big brother!¡±
I had to restrain the prince and then some.
¡°Oh dear, such a cheekyd. Even though, thou art badly injured¡ or rather, I¡¯ve been wondering about it for a while now¡ who art thee?¡±
The prince smiled, showing interest in me as I stood there.
I mean, what am I doing? Magic from Magical Breathing, still¡¡ physical strength, injuries, already¡ but¡¡
¡°The man who took your moment of glory from under your cloud.¡±
¡°¡? Indeed, the circumstances art such! Heh, thou¡ put Jamdi¡¯el in this state? Amazing.¡±
I returned his smile with a taunt.
¡°But¡ if thou battled Jamdi¡¯el to such a point, why would thou protect her?¡±
And the prince, who was surprised, asked me.
Why? That is¡¡
¡°I don¡¯t have any intention to protect Jamdi¡¯el. If she¡¯s originally a woman from your country and you want to make her pay for her wrongdoings, there¡¯s no reason to stop it. In the first ce, I¡¯m from outside of this country, so I knew of this fellow¡¡±
¡°Oh, is that so?¡±
¡°Yes, but¡ I believe Kron is innocent of any wrongdoing¡¡±
Not only were they here for Jamdi¡¯el but also Kron¡ if so, it was a reason enough to interfere.
Author¡¯s Note
The number of characters exceeded 700,000. From now on, the number of characters is the number of roads you¡¯ve walked¡ yes, let¡¯s road it. Over 700,000 roads. I still have a long way to go before I reach the heavens, but I will do my best.
Chapter 176 – Restrain
Chapter 176 - Restrain
¡°Art thou a human of this country? It seems to me that thou has a different attitude towards Jamdi¡¯el and the Doll than the others¡¡±
¡°Drop that! Or rather, don¡¯t you call Kron a doll. Want me to smack that smart mouth?¡±
It¡¯s not about whether I can win or not.
What¡¯s important is not to back down.
¡°Aha, ahahahaha! Funny! A silly little boy resides on the surface! I like him. State thy name?¡±
¡®It¡¯s Earth Lagann. ¡°
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ Lagann? Lagann? Hmm? I¡¯ve heard of it somewhere¡ well, all right¡ my regards, boy.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call me ¡®boy¡¯ when I¡¯ve already told you my name.¡±
The prince looked interested when he heard my name and my words.
¡°Even if it is so¡ a boy like such as thee against Jamdi¡¯el¡ impressive.¡±
However, he didn¡¯t seem to keep a distance from me, whether he had that much leeway or was just being defenseless.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ this child?¡±
¡°Prince, please step back!¡±
¡°With such poor eyesight¡ he cannot be, a person more dangerous than Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
¡°Hey, please back away, my prince!¡±
Instead of the prince, the other Valkyries panicked, and came at me with caution and hostility.
If I do something, it¡¯s like they might all jump at me.
As expected, with this number of people and my current condition¡ now¡¡ what should I do¡
¡°My goodness, anxious little birds indeed. Still, I see¡¡±
And while I was wondering, ¡°What should I do?¡±, the prince said¡
¡°A boy overflowing with talent, to erase such a form would be a shame. Therefore ¡ could thou step down here? Then we will touch none other than Jamdi¡¯el and the doll, and we will silently leave.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Does thou not find it extraordinary? Because we are different from the days of the former king. If we wanted to, at any time from the sky, we could envelop this flower garden in hellfire.¡±
Don¡¯t screw¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Don¡¯t screw around, bastard!!!¡±¡±
¡°As if we could ept such terms! Our High Priestess and Goddess ¡ no matter who they really are, you¡¯re not taking them away!¡±
¡°Sisters, please. I want you to take Amae and leave this ce!¡±
¡°Oh, don¡¯t you threaten us?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, bastard! Well knock this son of a bitch down!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±UUOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
The Cacretale fighters exposed their fighting spirit before I could shout something.
¡°Tch, these guys¡ humans trying to save a Six Supremacy¡ I¡¯m totally stunned.¡±
¡°Little man¡ you¡¯re going to do it, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s how it is. If Sadiz doesn¡¯t like it, it can¡¯t be helped.¡±
¡°That¡¯s a very mean thing to say¡ stupid of me to ask.¡±
Me and Sadiz have no choice.
¡°¡¡ thou¡¡±
¡°Everyone¡ I¡¡±
In everyone¡¯s spirit, both Jamdi¡¯el and Kron seemed to feel something.
But¡¡
¡°Dear oh dear, the lower species of the surface ¡¡±
¡°Prince, we are here!¡±
¡°All hands, prepare for battle!¡±
At that time, the Valkyries were about to assume battle positions because of this fighting spirit ¡
¡°¡¡ poor things.¡±
¡°Prince?¡±
¡°To have such feelings¡ Jamdi¡¯el must have conducted herself admirably. People would not go so far merely to fulfill their desires. In a sense, they too are victims¡¡±
The prince looked at us as if he pitied us, and the next moment, his Heraldic eyes gleamed.
¡°¡¡ the boy¡ thedy by his side¡ perhaps one or two more¡ other than that, thou can¡¯t even stand before me. Well, even the exhausted boy is no longer an opponent.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
After looking at only me, Sadiz and Elder Sis Tsukshi, the prince held up his hand.
¡°Embrace the Great Rose! ¡¾Giga Rose Thorn¡¿!¡±
The next moment, the ground shook.
Suddenly, from under the ground that was devastated by the battle between me and Jamdi¡¯el, a giant thorny nt suddenly emerged and attacked us all.
¡°Wha!¡±
¡°Hold on!?¡±
¡°Uga, o, oh nooooooooo!¡±
¡°tsu, th, this is!?¡±
It was a momentary event.
¡°Wh, what the hell is this?!¡±
¡°nt magic¡¡ and it¡¯s huge!¡±
¡°Everyone!¡±
¡°Hey, seriously!¡±
Only me, Sadiz, Elder Sis Tsukshi, and Karui, who reacted instantly, were able to avoid it.
However, our side, including the dojo nobatants, were instantly entangled all over by huge rose thorns, and all of them were tied up with the huge rose nt that stretched high above us.
¡°Bastard¡¡±
¡°As I said, I could take all of thee if I please¡¡±
¡°Like I care, Breakthrough!¡±
¡°Mu!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
If I don¡¯t, we¡¯re done for. I don¡¯t care about my remaining strength anymore, I¡¯ll just push through.
¡°This is¡ fast¡¡ my Heraldic eyes¡¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Paper-thin¡¡ my right smash didn¡¯tnd directly, but just brushed the prince¡¯s cheek and grazed it slightly, making him bleed.
¡°¡¡ wha¡ Prince!?
¡°The prince¡¯s face!¡±
¡°This lower species!¡±
¡°Nay¡ but, even so¡¡ this one¡¡±
¡°To wound the prince with his Heraldic eyes!¡±
No, no¡ I can¡¯t use my left arm, so I think the disruption on the opponent was only halfway. But¡¡
¡°Hey¡ you said prince, didn¡¯t you? You should be more aware. This boy of the surface, if I wanted, can turn that handsome face into a squashed pig face.¡±
Still, I have no choice but to do it.
¡°Wonderful¡ of those who wield power that even my Heraldic eyes cannot foresee¡ in my lifetime there were only two people¡ you are the third one. But¡¡±
¡°Eh!?
¡°¡¾Giga Rose Whip¡¿!!¡±
The prince immediately counterattacked me.
Thick rose thornse out of the ground one after another, and theye toward me like a whip.
¡°Don¡¯t you touch Little man, scum!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Space Magic, ¡¾Extra Dimensional Pocket¡¿¡¡ Weapon Retrieval¡ Death Scythe!¡±
Then, in both hands¡ Sadiz, wielding arge Scythe like a god of death, cut through all the giant rose whips.
¡°If Little man will resist, I¡¯ll fight, too. And you. If any of you point your des at Little man, I will mercilessly take your heads.¡±
¡°Hoh¡¡ eerie¡ thou¡¡ I wonder if thou would fit well among my cute little birds.¡±
One of Sadiz¡¯s magic spells. You can store all kinds of tools in a different space and freely bring them in and out at will¡ household items, daily necessities, even weapons. But not living things, right?
¡°Sadiz!¡±
¡°Little man, I¡¯m here.¡±
¡°Sadiz Big Sister, me too!¡±
¡°I guess I¡¯m in the same boat!¡±
Sadiz tried to keep me away, but that doesn¡¯t mean I can withdraw.
Right now, there are four of us who can fight and move.
All four of us¡
¡°Fufufu, I see¡ thou would fight to thest? Interesting!¡±
And the prince also smiled belligerently as if he were excited about the situation.
¡°Then I shall be thy opponent, o¡¯ brave and valiant flowers of the surface! As such, engrave into thy bodies, my name! I am Ga¡¯al! Leader of the ¡®the Heavenly Valkyrie Knights¡¯, the ¡®Heavenly Knight Prince Ga¡¯al!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t get it! I mean, why is the leader of the Valkyries a guy! That¡¯s just a harem, right? Creepy bastard!¡±
¡°Huh? Um¡ ahahaha, aah¡ see here, I¡ un~, I suppose. Well now,e, boy!¡±
The prince who, after giving his name, stood ready to fight us¡¡ Ga¡¯al.
I need to go full throttle while I can move, so I¡¯m going at Ga¡¯al in the breakthrough state¡
?How long dost thou intend on thy trivial games¡¡ Ga¡¯al¡?
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Then, at that moment.
?Jamdi¡¯el appears incapacitated¡ in such situation, how long hast thou stood idle? This will not do. Still, dost thou draw my noble blood in thy veins??
¡°Eh!?¡±
?Still, ist thou the son of the King??
A mysterious voice resounded from above us as if it resonated in all our minds.
That voice stopped us from being heated up in an instant.
And the moment he heard that voice, Ga¡¯al¡¯s expression, which was always smiling, clouded over for a moment, and at the same time, Jamdi¡¯el looked up at the sky with a somewhat surprised face.
And at that time, the phrase ¡°Still, the son of~¡±, which the resounding voice said, made me feel very disgusted.
Chapter 177 – The Worst
Chapter 177 - The Worst
Suddenly, a voice filled with dignity echoed from the heavens.
In other words, it was a voice that sounded very high and mighty.
From the looks of it, someone of even higher status than these guys¡ I mean¡ parent?
¡°Daddy¡¡±
?Thou volunteered for the advanced party, only toe at this plight? ¡¡ such is why, thou art worthless¡?
If he¡¯s a prince, this would be his parent¡ The King?
However, they should be parent and child, but they don¡¯t get along very well, do they? Well, just because they¡¯re father and son doesn¡¯t mean they need to have a good rtionship ¡
¡°This voice¡¡ certainly not¡¡±
On the other hand, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes widened when she heard the voice from heaven, as if she had some idea what was going on.
No, that¡¯s not the point right now¡
?If the threat of armed troops does not suffice, thou need only demonstrate the difference in power and be thorough.?
¡°W, wait, daddy!¡±
?The heavens, the surface, and the demons in the depths of the world should all be obedient in the face overwhelming force! Like so!?
What? What are you going to do?
?¡¾Terra Storm¡¿!!?
What¡¡ oh!?
¡°Wha¡ hey¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s!¡±
It suddenly appeared beyond the calm horizon.
¡°Wind magic ¡ Storm!?
¡°H, h, h, huge!?¡±
A huge swirling tornado blew across the empty sea, hitting the shore with violent waves.
It was truly a natural disaster that appeared without any warning.
¡º¡¡ Terra-ss¡ after a fashion¡¡ the fool does not seem hopeless¡¡±
¡°Tre¡¯ainar!?¡±
And that¡ is a warning.¡±
That¡¯s right. If that huge tornado was the work of the King in the Heavens, it could have engulfed all of us who were here now.
However, instead of doing that, they dared to make such a thing appear on the sea a little farther out at sea.
That means¡¡
?Jamdi¡¯el. And the doll. If thou do note quietly, then of that ind country¡ I shall destroy its most populous quarters next.?
¡°Eh!? Wh, at?¡±
?I will not say it twice. No matter how many seeds on the surface perish, I will show no leniency.?
Right. This is just a demonstration, and if we don¡¯t listen to what you say quietly, the next is ¡
And the threat might have been dicey if it had been Jamdi¡¯el alone, but they also have Kron in their sights.
The kind-hearted Kron¡
¡°tsu, w, wait please! Stop! Please don¡¯t hurt everyone!¡±
It will be like this. Naturally.
This is more effective thaning by force.
If youe this way, you have no choice but to quietly obey.
However¡¡
?Do not order me, Doll.?
¡°Eh!?¡±
?¡¾Terra Spark¡¿?
And the other party was not only the worst, but also had no mercy or hesitation.
A thunder spell was cast.
But it didn¡¯t fall on the ocean, nor on us.
Instead¡¡
¡°Hold on!?¡±
¡°Wha¡ eh?¡±
Lightning strikes a little away. A sh of light and a roaring thunder.
All of that was heard from¡ the town.
¡°H, hey¡!¡±
¡°Wha, no, nooooooooo! M, my¡ my goodness!?¡±
¡°This, is¡¡±
¡°No way¡¡±
It¡¯s not immediately obvious what happened from here.
But the huge thunderbolt definitely struck the town.
The town was¡
¡°A, aah¡ such a thing! How could you do such a terrible thing?¡±
¡°¡¡ tch¡ wretch¡¡±
¡°Daddy! Wait, why¡ we need not do this!¡±
Kron copsed at the attack from the sky which was too merciless and unforgiving.
Jamdi¡¯el looked up at the clouds, gritting her teeth.
And Ga¡¯al, despite being his child, had a heartbroken expression.
¡°Damn, bastard¡! Hey, sisters! Elder Sis Tsukshi, Karui, Sadiz! Get back to town now! Hurry! They may need help!¡±
What¡¯s going on with the town now? I don¡¯t know the damage situation, but I can¡¯t help assuming the worst.
Are they all right? Any survivors? What¡¯s the damage?
¡°Little man¡ but!¡±
¡°Hurry up, Sadiz! They may need your recovery spell!¡±
¡°Eh¡¡ kuh¡¡±
Anyway, there¡¯s no time to think about it. That¡¯s why we can¡¯t all go back to town.
We can¡¯t let Kron and Jamdi¡¯el be taken like this.
Then, even if it¡¯s just me¡
?How unpleasant. Next, yes¡ there, the gathered women all at once¨D¨D¨D¨D?
Oh no! Now to everyone here?
¡°tsu, damn! This sh*ty bastard! ¡¾Great Mag-
Thunder? Storm? No matter whates, whatever my remaining strength, I will receive it with a Great Magic Spiral, and destroy it.
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Child!¡±
¡°Little man!¡±.
That? Why am I? Suddenly¡ my eyelids felt heavy¡ my body weak¡
Abundant Magical Breathing¡ a barrage of breakthroughs and Great Magic Spirals with a lot of magic power released¡ straightforward fights in the tournament and the bouts with Machio and Jamdi¡¯el¡ all of that has umted, your body has already reached its limit¡¡±
Limit? Nonsense. I need to move now¡ if it¡¯s like this¡
¡°Little man, hold on, Little man!¡±
That¡¯s right, get up¡ me¡ be a man! Now, move¡ if not¡ what¡¯s the point of bing stronger¡¡ oh, not good¡
¡°I¡ I understand! I¡¯ll quietly¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
But before we can do anything else, Kron was made to say that¡
¡°Hey, does thou hear me, ¡®Dekte¡¯ita¡¯! It is thee, isn¡¯t it?¡±
?Hoh¡¡ it is I¡ dost thou remember??
¡°That doesn¡¯t matter! Anyway ¡ just give up on Lady Kron! Or else, I will crush these eyes myself and end my life here and now!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeehh!!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
However, more unexpected words were uttered from Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s mouth at that time.
?¡¡ Hoh~¡¡ so thou haste to that¡?
¡°Fuhaha, never did I expect thou would be the King of the Heavens! The Seraph Tribe, which has always been a mere sham, has fallen even lower after hundreds of years! Anyway, it¡¯s thou! Thou cannot have earned much support from the public, have thee?¡±
?¡¡¡¡¡¡?
Even though her magic has bottomed out and the pain inflicted in the fight with me has not subsided, Jamdi¡¯el was provoking the Heavenly King violently, and the Heavenly King responded to the words.
Apparently, they really know each other¡ Well, I¡ I¡¯m already losing consciousness.
¡°Is thou aiming for a simplistic approach to raising thy approval by my capture and public execution? And hopefully, retrieving my Heraldic Eyes as stock¡ isn¡¯t that the case?¡±
?¡¡ insignificant¡ with such irrelevant perception, art thou to negotiate with me? Even after hundreds of years, thou art still with incessant assumptions¡?
¡°If so¡ let¡¯s crush these eyes and bite off my tongue¡ after all, my n was derailed. I have no attachments left in this world!¡±
?¡¡¡¡¡¡?
In my fading consciousness, I finally reached the limit.
It¡¯s not a threat, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words¡ and¡¡
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, wait! If you¡¯re going, so am I¡¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡ please¡ no matter what happens¡ thou¡¡ are myst hope¡¡±
¡°But!¡±
¡°No matter what it costs, no matter who dies, no matter what perishes¡ no matter what happens, survive.¡±
¡°No! No, you can¡¯t! I will not sacrifice you alone¡ you are my¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Thest thing I saw¡ and heard as Kron was clinging to Jamdi¡¯el while shedding tears¡
¨D¨DEarth Lagann¡ Lady Kron.
Only the voice of Jamdi¡¯el, who told me so as if entrusting to me, was heard at the end.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your support. Yesterday, my impression exceeded 5000 impacts. In other words, including all the good and critical feedback, you have impacted my heart 5000 times. Thank you. From now on, I hope you will continue to freely post in the impression column. However, don¡¯t fight, okay?
Also, I¡¯m sure you¡¯re wondering if I¡¯m going to shave or not, but that was the theme of the previous arc¡ that is, because it was a theme only for part 4.
Anyway, today is November. The naked biz period is over. From today, I have to spend time naked with a tie, but I¡¯m going to pull myself together and do my best.
Chapter 178 – Do Something
Chapter 178 - Do Something
Just a normal sleep. It felt like it¡¯s been a long time since I had one.
Even while I was sleeping, I was doing image training with the magic of ¡¾Vier¡¿, so my restful sleep was awfully groggy and I fell deeply unconscious.
Even I could tell that ¡°Yeah, I was sleeping really well.¡±.
¡°¡¡ I¡¡ How long have I been asleep?¡±
¡ºAbout two days.¡»
When I opened my eyes, there was no ceiling there, and huge dim clouds covered the sky.
The cloudy sky made me unable to tell if it was day or night.
But that¡¯s not because of the weather. It was the enemy¡¯s home base.
¡°¡¡ Hey hey¡ those guys, they¡¯re still there?¡±
¡ºIndeed.¡»
When I got up, I found that I was sleeping on a simple bed made up of battered chairs.
Looking around, the walls of the building were gone, and there were piles of rubble all around, like a ruin.
¡°¡¡ This is¡¡ the town¡¡±
¡ºTown? Tis already just a pile of rubble¡ and everywhere there are field hospitals full of the injured¡¡»
¡°This is¡ Terra-ss destructive power¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Tis so¡¡»
Even though I hadn¡¯t stood up yet, I was speechless at the gruesome sight before me.
¡°¡¡ is everyone¡¡±
¡ºThe maid, the other sisters and dojo officials are all moving around. Often treating the wounded, searching for the missing, clearing debris, managing shelters, securing and preparing food, and so on.¡»
¡°I see¡¡±
The damage was so devastating that there was no way to say anything else.
For the time being, as I was about to stand up, I noticed something.
¡°Hmm? My arm¡¡±
My left arm. It should have been in quite a severe state due to dislocation and fracture.
However, although the left arm was wrapped with a lot of bandages, I did not feel much pain or difort.
¡°Was it Sadiz?¡±
It¡¯s impossible for this to heal naturally in a few days. If so, the only way to recover would be through magic.
When it came to such powerful magic, only Sadiz came to mind¡
¡ºNo, not her.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºIt was that one.¡»
¡°Hmm? ¡ Nuo!?¡±
I didn¡¯t notice it right away. When I got off the cot where I was sleeping, something was lying in tattered sheets at my feet, and it stirred.
¡°Ku~ ¡ Suu~ ¡ un¡¡±
When I looked into the object in surprise, a familiar demon horn was protruding from under the sheets.
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡ºIt seems that she no mere mascot simply calling herself a goddess. This one has a talent for magic, and considerable healing ability.¡»
¡°¡¡ Kron¡¡±
¡ºPerhaps, Jamdi¡¯el had her learn so could heal herself immediately if she ever got injured.¡»
To my amazement, Kron was sleeping on the floor. Moreover, maybe she was quite tired, she was taking a deep sleep.
Was she nursing me¡ by any chance?
¡ºTis not only you. After they returned to the sky, she was treating the wounded one after another. She now sleeps due to the effects of those action.¡»
¡°Kron did that¡¡±
¡ºBy her efforts, many have been saved. Although their High Priestess has been lost, it seems the existence of the goddess still supports the hearts of the people of this country. Those who have recovered, little by little, are now thinking about reconstruction and the future, and are even trying to take action.¡»
¡°I see¡¡±
Seemed everyone was hard at work while I was sleeping.
I thought it was pathetic that I was down the whole time at the critical moment, but at the same time I began to think about something.
¡°¡¡ Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡ºWhat is it?¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡ If¡ª¡±
¡ºDo not ask. No one foresaw this incident. Not even me¡¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
When I tried to ask Tre¡¯ainar what I had involuntarily thought, but he stopped me before I could say it.
What I thought. That¡¯s the cause of this.
If¡¡ if Jamdi¡¯el¡ if she was in perfect condition?
In the fight against me, her magic was emptied, her whole body was in pain, and she could not fight or resist, and then they came.
Why did this happen?
Because Jamdi¡¯el fought me.
If I had not fought against Jamdi¡¯el at that time, but quietly listened to her¡ but Tre¡¯ainar said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that¡±.
¡°¡¡ Where¡¯s Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡ºShe was taken to the sky¡ and¡¡ that cloud¡ no, that country still drifts right above, and there is no particr change. Nor any word of the death of Jamdi¡¯el.¡»
¡°I see¡¡±
Their aim was to capture Jamdi¡¯el.
Even though they¡¯ve achieved that, why they¡¯re still in the skies over this country, I don¡¯t know.
But for whatever reason, as long as they¡¯re within the visible range, no one would feel safe and no one would be calm.
However, as long as they are out of reach, we can¡¯t do anything about it, we can only look up at the sky and bite our lips.
¡°¡¡ Kron¡¡ for now, let¡¯s put her to bed?¡±
Kron¡ at least, I had better let her sleep¡ I mean, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s okay to face her right now.
Anyway¡¡
¡ºAre you all right?¡»
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll walk a little bit, just to look around.¡±
I can¡¯t lie down forever. I¡¯m afraid, but for now I need to get a better look at what¡¯s going on with the town.
With that in mind, I stood up, fixed Kron¡¯s misaligned sheets a bit, and then stepped into the ruins of the rubble.
¡°¡¡ Even so¡ no matter where you look¡¡±
¡ºFor you who do not know the war, this is your first time seeing anything like this, is it not?¡»
¡°¡¡ Yes¡¡±
I walked outside for a bit, but it was no different. No, I felt even more terrible.
Because what existed before I fainted was gone.
The town I flew around doing parkour.
When I was running through the streets, or walking hand in hand with Amae, the smiling gazes and the good-hearted people called me out to me every day.
The lives of people who were full of energy, with no oppression, and everyone was able to go about their business with peace of mind and a smile.
Everything.
¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t push yourself! I¡¯ll bring the food!¡±
¡°Oh, thank you¡¡±
¡°Amae! Please, bring me some water!¡±
Looking back at the familiar voice, I found the center of the town¡ was supposed to be.
It seemed that they were just cleaning up the rubble for the time being, gathering people who were safe in the town, making camp, and treating the injured.
¡°Un! Amae, will bring it! ¡¡ Ahh!¡±
¡°Amae!?¡±
Everyone had a tired look, but now they seem to be busy with moving things, as if they wanted to get hold of a cat.
Even little Amae ran around as hard as she could to do the job she could, but she fell down in her haste.
But Amae immediately looked up.
¡°Amae, you okay¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Un! Fine!¡±
Normally, she would have cried immediately, but Amae held back her tears and immediately started running.
Amae knows that, too.
She knew that now was the time for each person to do what they can.
¡°Ooouuuui, I ran a while and asked the whole country for help! In just half a day, people from all over the country wille to support reconstruction, so everyone will be doing their best!¡±
¡°Big Sister Sadiz, if you can spare a few minutes, can you help me too?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
The town was destroyed, and the High Priestess they adored was captured and taken away.
Of course, people¡¯s faces are gloomy, but them being ovee with despair and doing nothing¡ that was not the case.
Everyone was trying to do what they can now.
¡°Everyone is¡ hard at work¡¡±
¡ºUh huh¡¡ the strength of a person¡¯s heart can be seen by how they are able to move in such situations. In addition, the country seems to have had a civil war in recent years¡¡ and it may be terrible¡¡ but they are ustomed to it. Such is the state of things.¡»
I was a little shaken by the strength of their heart, which could not bepared to me who ran away from home depressed because of a falling out with my parents.
¡°¡¡ then¡¡ I¡?¡±
What can I do now? My injuries got much better with sleep and Kron¡¯s magic.
¡°Fun! Shh!¡±
Try hitting the jab.
Oh, no problem.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡ shi!¡±
¡º¡¡ Child¡¡»
This time, I thrust my fist towards the clouds directly above me.
But there¡¯s no way I can reach it.
At this distance, even if the shock wave of the Great Magic Spiral was released, not even fragments will reach it.
¡°¡¡ Damn it¡¡±
My power is of no use now. I¡¯m so frustrated that my gut is churning.
¡°Damn iiiiiiiiiit! Those¡ bird people¡¡±
It¡¯s awful just remembering it.
That prince who appeared from the sky.
The pompous voice I suddenly heard from behind the clouds.
Why couldn¡¯t I have been more conscious at that time and kicked them to the curb?
It¡¯s irreversible¡
¡°There¡¯s no way ¡¡ they can get away with ¡¡ this¡¡±
¡ºDo not be too hard on yourself. There are things beyond you with your power right now.¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡ºThe opponent is not one or two individuals, but a nation ¡ that¡¡ you are aware, are you not?¡»
¡°¡¡eh ¡¡±
What can we do about it? Though I clenched my fist, Tre¡¯ainar calmly held me back.
Because the enemy this time is a nation, unlike the ninja group, delinquents, and fighters that I have faced so far.
Looking at the current situation in this country, it¡¯s not as if I can¡¯t handle what¡¯s happening.
I know that.
But¡¡
¡°But it¡¯s just¡I can see where they are, but I can¡¯t do anything¡¡±
It¡¯s not something I can manage. So, do I just do nothing and help the reconstruction?
That may be the right choice.
But my heart didn¡¯t agree with it.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºIt does not mean there is nothing you can do.¡»
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡ºIn the first ce, being put in such a state by that arrogant bunch does not sit well with me. I do not feel at ease leaving things as they are. A way to hit a powerful counterpunch to those floating in the sky¡ it exists.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar showed that fearless, dependable smile that I¡¯ve seen so many times before.
¡°Hmm ¡ really!?¡±
¡ºJust who do you think I am?¡»
¡°Hahaha ¡ yes ¡ then Tre¡¯ainar!¡±
¡ºHowever¡¡»
¡°¡¡ hmm?¡±
¡ºThing is¡ I merely wonder¡ if there is any worth in you doing so.¡»
It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no moves.
But Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t teach me right away, but with a slightly serious look¡
¡ºJamdi¡¯el is a war criminal with a bounty. Tens of thousands have died under hermand. Countries have fallen. Her relentless schemes have also created tragedy. Well, the same can be said for me, for all of us in fact¡ but even in this country after the war had ended, she has ruined more than a few people with his hands, for better or worse. For her own convenience. In addition, we must not forget the matter of young man called Jos¨¦.¡»
¡°That¡ maybe true, but¡¡±
¡ºThis country hase to this current state not because of the child, but due to Jamdi¡¯el being in this country. And if you trace the origin, I once made her a subordinate, so the Seraph tribe -¡»
¡°Hey! Wait a minute! It¡¯s too far back. It¡¯s not rted to you!¡±
¡ºAnyway, the counterpunch I am considering will carry a considerable risk to the child, but¡ do you need to go that far? That is my thought.¡»
It sounded as if he asking me, ¡°What are you fighting for?¡±
Indeed, outside of this istion nation, Jamdi¡¯el is an enemy of humanity.
The reason I¡¯m in this country was because Jamdi¡¯el kidnapped me.
She tried to decide on my life without my consent, regardless of my circumstances.
It¡¯s certainly strange that I would fight for such a person.
So what am I doing here?
To be honest, it was difficult to put in words, and I was involuntarily speechless.
Chapter 179 – Everyone
Chapter 179 - Everyone
There¡¯s no reason to help Jamdi¡¯el, who¡¯s a big-game bounty head, and no logic.
What¡¯s the point of me taking such a risk and getting any more involved in this problem?
That¡¯s the way it is¡
¡°I¡¯m not particrly¡ not a hero, I¡¯m a disciple of the Great Demon King, so it¡¯s funny, right?¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
¡°Well, in the first ce¡ I not even thinking about fighting for Jamdi¡¯el or anything like that¡¡±
¡°Hoh~¡±
¡°I¡¯m not thinking about the details. Right now ¡ I just can¡¯t let this go.¡±
Yes, at this point, I¡¯m just pissed off at the guys in the clouds.
I spent three months in this town.
I¡¯ve never lived in the same ce for so long outside the Imperial City, like Rebal and Fu¡¯s study abroad group.
For the past three months, the training had been tough, the Jos¨¦ stuff was annoying, and so on, but other than that, I had noints about anything in this town.
Rather¡¡
¡°Oldeeer Brotheeeeeer!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°Gyuuuuu!¡±
At that moment, Amae, who was helping everyone, spotted me and happily jumped into my stomach all of a sudden.
¡°Amae¡¡±
¡°Older Brotheeeer, are you okaaaay?¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes¡¡ I¡¯m fine.¡¯
¡°Un!
¡°Amae, are you helping everyone?¡±
¡°Un¡ un~¡±
I patted her head for the effort. Amae¡¯s cheeks flushed with a littlefort.
Normally, I would have been cheering her up by saying ¡°Kyoho¡± like this.
But now, it¡¯s not going that far.
After all, she seemed a little tired, and above all, she didn¡¯t seem very energetic.
The reason¡¡ I know it.
¡°Little man!¡±
¡°Earth, thank goodness! Is your arm all right?¡±
¡°Whoa, Big brother, you¡¯re up! Inya~, I¡¯m d you¡¯re safe!¡±
Sadiz and others, who were busy in the center of the square, noticed me, and¡
¡°Earth!¡±
¡°Oraa, Earth, finally awake?¡±
¡°Are you all right? Did the Goddess¡¯s magic work?¡±
¡°I¡¯m d~
There was also Mortriage¡¯s crew, who seemed to be working and running around, while dirty with sweat.
They were carrying tools such as saws and hammers, lumber, and even food.
¡°Yeah. For the time being, everyone was safe¡ well, I¡¯m not sure I¡¯d call this safe¡¡±
¡°Yeah¡ well¡¡±
Mortriage¡¯s crew smiled bitterly as I looked around and said that.
Even I am quite shocked by this scene.
For these people, who are born here, their shock would be iparable to mine.
But¡¡
¡°But it¡¯s no use looking down forever.¡±
¡°Oraa, I¡¯ll do it! Originally, this town was created by our fathers from the burnt ruins of the civil war! Now we¡¯ll rebuild it!¡±
There may be a little bit of strength mixed in.
However, they were not empty-hearted, and their words seemed to be filled with a certain determination.
Elder sis Tsukshi nodded at the voices of Mortriage¡¯s crew.
¡°Heh¡ did you just say that? You guys who were lurking behind the school building.¡±
¡°Hahaha. Yeah, that¡¯s right. There was such an ugly scene about three months ago.¡±
¡°Whoa? Hey, hey, hey, you¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°But three months ago, they were¡ inspired by a certain guy¡¯s fiery appearance, and they¡¯re no longer there.¡±
I returned the words I jokingly said, with another joke.
I felt somewhat relieved at the sight of Mortriage¡¯s crew.
In addition¡¡
¡°So, Mortriage, where are you going with all that stuff?¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, this? This is for¡¡ Jos¨¦, who¡¯s bedridden.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Jos¨¦ and the girls seem to have a hard time showing up in front of everyone, so they¡¯re a little far from the square¡ but it seems they¡¯re going through a lot, so I thought I¡¯d help them out.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
I couldn¡¯t believe what I just heard.
And, Oratski also nodded to Mortriage¡¯s words, ¡°Us too¡±.
¡°Hey hey¡ you guys don¡¯t like them, right? Why would you do that?¡±
¡°Eh? Why¡ even if you say that¡¡±
I don¡¯t know how much humiliation they¡¯ve suffered from them¡ after all, I¡¯m also fed up with them and I hate them.
And yet these guys¡
¡°We can¡¯t say that at times like this. When there¡¯s trouble, we need each other.¡±
¡°Mortriage¡¡±
¡°And ¡ it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s not about Jos¨¦ and the girls.¡±
To my question, Mortriage and the othersughed a little bit as if they were troubled, but it¡¯s not about like or dislike with them, they just had good intentions¡ and¡¡
¡°When Earth beat him up to that point, I passed beyond satisfaction, and felt pity for Jos¨¦. And you said, too, didn¡¯t you? In the end, it¡¯s all about us getting stronger.¡±
Saying that, Mortriage¡¯s crew smiled refreshingly, without any feeling of guilt, as if they had a weight off their shoulders¡ I couldn¡¯t help but think¡
¡°Damn it, you guys are so cool!¡±
¡°Ouch, hey!?¡±
¡°Toriya!¡±
¡°Uo, ow! What are you doing?¡±
¡°Fun!¡±
¡°Awa¡¯
¡°Ura!¡±
¡°Habu, dude~, why are you hitting me?¡±
I lightly tapped the Mortriage four on their chests.
¡°Geez, you guys really¡¡±
At that time, I swallowed the words that I was about to say.
It wasn¡¯t my ce to say it, so I didn¡¯t say it out loud.
But then I thought again.
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
These guys are good!
¡°Oraa, if it¡¯s nothing, why are you hitting me?¡±
¡°Nothin~, it¡¯s not anything.¡±
¡°Really~?¡±
Somehow, they¡¯re good. These guys.
I¡¯m d we became friends.
¡°Ah, whatever. Hey, Amae?¡±
¡°Au?¡±
¡°Up we go, high in the sky!¡±
I think these guys are good.
Certainly I was kidnapped by Jamdi¡¯el, forcibly brought to this country, and trapped.
But what I encountered here was something that was important to me.
¡°Little man¡¡±
¡°¡¡ What is it, Sadiz?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s nothing.¡±
Sadiz smiled with a warm look like a guardian, saying, ¡°I¡¯m d he made friends,¡± and I turned away feeling a little embarrassed.
But that¡¯s right.
I¡¯ve alreadye to like this town.
I¡¯ve grown fond of the people I¡¯ve met here.
Already, not so badpared to the birthce I ran away from.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¡°Well, for the time being, I¡¯m d you¡¯re all okay, anyway¨D¨D¨D.¡±
¡°¡¡ Not all of us.¡¯
¡°¡¡ Amae?¡±
The moment I mentioned everyone¡¯s safety, Amae looked down and sadly said it was not everyone.
¡°¡High Priestess¡ isn¡¯t here¡¡±
There is no Jamdi¡¯el. No, or should I say it¡¯s not enough?
¡°Amae¡¡ yes, I guess so¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right¡¡±
Yes, even if Jamdi¡¯el had whatever intentions she did, for Amae, Karui, Elder sis Tsukshi, no, that¡¯s not everyone.
No matter what her reputation was outside of this ind nation or what she had done in the past, her presence is indispensable for the people in this country.
¡°Counter-punch¡¡ was it?¡±
¡°Older brother?¡±
I look up at the sky. The clouds are still majestically lingering over this town¡ no, in the sky over this ind country.
Mostly, they probably think we can¡¯t touch them from here, and they¡¯re beingcent.
As expected¡¡ I¡¯d like to give them a shot.
Author¡¯s Note
The world cup ended yesterday, didn¡¯t it? The winner was South Africa.
I expected Ennd to win, but I waspletely off. After all, I guess you can¡¯t know the game until you y it.
For Japan, who had won all of the qualifiers this tournament, the fact that the only team they lost to was the winner seemed to be a bit of a reward. In any case, not only the Japanese games, but also all the matches were personally fun and exciting, and I was influenced in various ways.
Actually, during the World Cup period, I was hard at work with the novelization of this work title. The work is hard, so to be honest, I was going to stop updating the web novel or stop posting every day. However, since Japan has made a big leap forward, instead of stopping the update, I was stubborn by doing stupid things such as posting two episodes a day and cutting down my sleep time. If I hadn¡¯t been fired up by the World Cup, this wouldn¡¯t have happened, but the professional athletes who were influenced by the viewers were respected as awesome.
I would like to showcase the book that will bepleted one of these days as soon as possible.
Well, that being said, I¡¯ve run out of drills and spirits, and this daily update pace may asionally be interrupted, but please forgive me. It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t take up time for the book. As for that, it¡¯s roughly over. Simply, the office workers are busier from November to December¡
Chapter 180 – Stout-Hearted
Chapter 180 - Stout-Hearted
¡°Ara, everyone. You¡¯re all together.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ah¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
And then, as we were gathering, she came over to us.
¡°O Goddess! You¡¯re already awake¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve slept well enough, so it¡¯s fine! Now, please let me know if anyone is injured!¡±
¡°No, no, no, you¡¯ve been treating hundreds of people all morning and just took a break about an hour ago!¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m the only one who had a good rest, even though everyone is having a hard time!¡±
The one who showed up was Kron.
¡°Best of all, I¡¯m d to see that you¡¯re doing well, Earth!¡±
¡°Y, yeah¡ thank you, for my arm.¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee!¡±
When I woke up, I thought she was sleeping soundly, but apparently she only had a little rest.
Kron, who always showed a healthy and cheerful smile, had dark circles under her eyes.
Her hair is a little messy and she¡¯s obviously tired.
No wonder Elder Sis Tsukshi panicked.
¡°Everyone, is there anyone whose body is hurting~?¡±.
¡°Wait, Goddess!?¡±
But Kron, without regard for her own body, smiled and cheerfully walked into the square and shouted.
She didn¡¯t say a word about Jamdi¡¯el, the sky, or any of her worries.
The townspeople immediately responded to Kron¡¯s presence.
¡°Ah¡ it¡¯s the goddess.¡±
¡°Goddess!¡±
¡°O, Goddess¡¡±
¡°She¡¯s so tired¡ still she smiles at us¡¡±
¡°What a blessing it is¡¡±
Seeing Kron, everyone sped their hands together in gratitude and prayed.
Wounded and exhausted, some of them who had beenid up in the square to rest hurriedly raised their bodies and became teary-eyed.
Apparently, even without doing anything directly, her mere presence was enough to support everyone.
¡°Everyone, I know it¡¯s hard to say how do you do in this situation, but¡¡ please bear with me for now. I¡¯ll do the best I can.¡±
¡°Goddess¡¡±
¡°Ah, uncle, it seems you¡¯re having trouble walking¡ is it your hip?¡±
¡°Huh!? Ah, g, goddess!?
¡°Right, pain pain, fly away~!¡±
¡°Wh, what are you doing? Goddess, you don¡¯t need to use your power on an old man like me!¡¡Such a waste!¡±
¡°That¡¯s not the case. Isn¡¯t it a waste to not use it even though I have the power?¡±
Kron entered the square and put her hand on the hip of an old man and channeled her magic. It seems to be a Healing Spell.
Although her chant is sloppy, it still seemed to have an effect. I wonder if my arm was healed by that too.
¡°Goddess, please rest a little longer!¡±
¡°Yes, we¡¯re fine now!¡±
¡°The goddess that is probably in more pain than anyone else, with the High Priestess being taken and all!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
Apparently, Kron and Jamdi¡¯el were more important to the people of this country than I thought.
This shows just how much Kron has been loved and adored.
I¡¯m sure it¡¯s the same with Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°THAT?WILL?NOT?DO! Let¡¯s all do our best together!¡±
Even if, from the perspective of those outside this country, it waspletely orchestrated by Jamdi¡¯el, and even if Kron¡¯s existence was seen as a doll, in the end they would still¡
¡°Ku, okay! We¡¯d better get back to work!
¡°Oraa! How can we just be idle, while the Goddess is working so hard?
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right! I¡¯m scared of the sky, but there¡¯s no point in being scared.¡±
¡°I¡¯m going!¡±
Inspired by Kron¡¯s presence, Mortriage¡¯s crew became even more motivated and started running to continue their work.
¡°Yeah, I guess we should, too!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
¡°Amae, work hard!¡±
So was Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui.
I was reminded of the kind of people who live in this country.
¡°A lot of things are¡plicated, aren¡¯t they¡ Little man?¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
¡°The Six Supremacy, who were the enemies of humanity ¡ and¡¡ that goddess¡¡±
¡°Yes¡ they¡¯re so stout-hearted¡¡±
While watching everyone, Sadiz had a slightlyplicated expression beside me.
Well, that¡¯s right, I nodded with a bitter smile.
¡°So¡¡ Sadiz what are ¡®you¡¯ going to do?¡¯
For the time being, the people in this country were not left trembling with sadness and fear, instead everyone worked hard toward reconstruction.
Meanwhile, what do we do, as we are not originally people of this country?
¡°¡¡ just ¡®me¡¯¡ is it? Just for the time being¡ I¡¯ll inform master and madam in the Imperial City about the Seraphs.¡±
¡°¡¡ Well¡¡ that¡¯s necessary¡¡±
¡°¡¡ And¡¡ Little man, what will ¡®you¡¯ do?¡±
There are actually people who live in the sky. And they had interfered with the surface.
Sadiz can¡¯t keep quiet about this situation. Of course, she will tell father about it.
Meanwhile, what about me?
¡°Little man, the Heavenly Kingdom was thought to be a fairy tale, so there is now in this world that prohibits fighting them ¡ but¡¡ it is possible that a single action will lead to arge-scale war.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re right. But what they¡¯ve done is already war itself, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°So, you¡¯ll pay it back. The sum of those emotions created the war between humans and demons in the past.¡±
¡°¡¡ I guess that¡¯s true.¡±
Even though she was young, she lived in the age of war and knew the sadness of the war.
Since the enemy is not just some random hoodlum, but a race, a country, or a king, there are all kinds of possibilities.
Even though I had already graduated from Sadiz, she still told me so, as if she couldn¡¯t help but say it.
But instead of stopping me because of it, Sadiz¡
¡°Still, do you throw your punch?¡±
She only told me her thoughts, and then confirmed my intentions.
To that question, I¡
¡°If you¡¯re going to do something stupid¡I¡¯ll help you out, Earth.¡±
¡°¡±Eh!?¡±¡±
¡°Since I¡¯m just as stupid.¡±
Then, just before I nodded to Sadiz¡¯s question, a voice interrupted us.
Looking back, there¡
¡°Mr. Machio!?¡±
¡°Yeah! I was in bed, but the goddess treated me.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
It¡¯s Mr. Machio.
And Mr. Machio wasn¡¯t the only one who was there.
¡°I¡¯ll also help, aye. For various reasons.¡±
¡°Oh, if you¡¯re going to challenge those jokers, we¡¯ll do it too!¡±
¡°We couldn¡¯t touch them with their magic, but this time we¡¯ll give them a proper throw!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard what happened. We¡¯ll use any foul y we can find to take them down!¡±
¡°If you¡¯re not doing it too, can¡¯t you be more reliable?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what their gender is. If necessary, I¡¯ll wreck their heavenly asses!¡±
The guys who participated in the tournament, the dojo guys who were at the scene, and dozens of mighty men came to us in droves.
¡°You guys¡¡±
¡°I heard what happened while I was out. The master was taken by them. I don¡¯t know the master¡¯s past or her circumstances, but¡ we didn¡¯t train just to cry ourselves to sleep. We train to protect what¡¯s important and to be able to help if it¡¯s been taken from us.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±That¡¯s right! How can we sit back while our master has been kidnapped?¡±¡±¡±¡±
Hmm~? I mean, this~? Somehow, they all went with the flow of things, I¡¯m not sure what to make of this.
¡°Mr. Machio¡ are you serious?¡±
¡°I would be worried if something like that stayed in the sky forever, and I can¡¯t give up on the master. If there¡¯s a way to get to them, we¡¯d like to be a part of it.¡±
¡°You mean war?¡±
¡°We will reim a loved one who has been taken from us. If you want to call it war, so be it. This country wouldn¡¯t be what it is today without the existence of Master and the Goddess.¡±
He looked like someone who had absolutely no hesitation, as if he didn¡¯t care if it meant war, he was fine with it.
¡°Well, next I¡¯ll help with the cooking! I¡¯m going to get the ingredients!¡±
¡°Ah,e on¡ goddess¡¡ okay, am I going too? Goddess, I¡¯ll help you.¡±
¡°Yes, please!¡±
And then I saw Kron running around like a busybody again, and just as she passed us by¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Goddess!¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°Please rest assured! We will definitely rescue the master!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
ts!? Hey hey, who the hell was that?!
Just as Kron was about to walk past us, one of the excited men suddenly said something like that.
And when Kron heard it, her eyes opened wide in astonishment.
¡°That¡¯s¡ can you do that?¡±
The smile that she had been trying hard to maintain copsed in an instant, revealing a weak, anxious, childlike expression that looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Ah, I knew it.
She really was more worried about Jamdi¡¯el than anyone else. She has been worried about it, but she was pushing it deep inside so as not to make anyone worry.
¡°Earth¡ can you do that?¡±
However, once people said this to her, she just couldn¡¯t take it anymore, and Kron asked me.
Then at least¡
¡°What do you want me to do? No, what do you want to happen? What is it you want? Kron.¡±
I asked, not as a goddess, but so she would express her feelings.
Author¡¯s Note
Well, let¡¯s take a break after yesterday¡¯s post¡¡ is what I thought, but my spirit(review) was hammered in¡ Thank You. I couldn¡¯t help but write about it.
Chapter 181 – I’ll Fly You
Chapter 181 - I¡¯ll Fly You
To my question, Kron once looked up at the sky. The country of the Seraph tribes, and where the captured Jamdi¡¯el is held.
¡°¡¡ Up there¡ is far away¡¡ even if I jump a lot and reach out my hand, I don¡¯t feel like I can reach it.¡±
Kron stretched her hands overhead, as if trying to measure an unfathomable distance.
Earth¡ can you reach that far?¡±
¡°Well, I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ll have to try it out.¡±
¡°But¡it¡¯s impossible for me to¡ you have potential, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯ll do it.¡±
Recognizing that she couldn¡¯t do it herself, Kron looked at me, and then said¡
¡°If I had the potential to reach as far as you¡¡ I¡¯m sure¡¡ I wouldn¡¯t hesitate.¡±
¡°Is that your answer¡¡±
¡°Yes. If I had that kind of power¡ I would have soared to the sky at once.¡±
If Kron had the power to go up to the sky by herself, she would have already gone.
To the abducted Jamdi¡¯el.
That¡¯s Kron¡¯s answer.
¡°Machio too¡ if there was a means, he would dlyunch a raid to help Jamdi¡¯el¡ apparently, Jamdi¡¯el is a benefactor and a master for this country¡ well, he can¡¯t just abandon her.¡±
¡°I hear that, as a High Priestess, as a leader of the Revolutionaries, and sometimes as an instructor to the dojo, Jamdi¡¯el has been involved and admired by the people of this country from various standpoints. But¡¡ even if there are spections that cannot be told to the people¡ she is still¡¡±
Yes, Kron¡¯s right.
Jamdi¡¯el, when she was in this country, has spent her time with other faces, not the face of the former Six Supremacy and General of the Demon King Army.
As a High Priestess in front of the sisters of the church and people.
During the past civil war, as a leader to the citizens.
And to these unscrupulous men, as a mentor who trains them.
She has all these faces, and there are many people who adore her for all of them.
Even if there was someone like Jos¨¦.
After recognizing that, I asked Kron again.
¡°What exactly is Jamdi¡¯el to you?¡±
So what does she mean to Kron?
A High Priestess? The leader of the Revolutionaries? The master of the Arcane True Zenith?
It should not be any of those things.
Because Kron was special to Jamdi¡¯el, Kron must have seen a unique face.
Then Kron¡
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°It seems that Jamdi¡¯el drew the line at serving me only as a vassal, but¡ I didn¡¯t think it was all, and I didn¡¯t want to think it was all. But, as a person who was ignorant of the world, I couldn¡¯t answer clearly what kind of feelings and rtionships I should have.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el and Kron. Kron murmurs that she doesn¡¯t know what kind of rtionship is appropriate, although she says it¡¯s not just a master-subordinate rtionship.
But¡¡
¡°So now I regret it.¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°Because I don¡¯t have parents¡ Jamdi¡¯el spoiled me to the point of overprotection¡ I don¡¯t know how to spoil her¡ so¡¡ that¡¯s why¡¡±
At that time, Kron, who always smiles gently, showed her first expression.
¡°My true feelings¡ were full of what I really wanted to call her¡ there were so many¡ in the end, I couldn¡¯t say anything!¡±
The expression of sadness, regret, and many shed tears.
At that moment, something in me burst out hot.
¡°Then, if you want to tell her, you might still be able to¡ it¡¯s not like anyone knows if it¡¯s toote!¡±
Seeing Kron¡¯s tears, and hearing her words, I was naturally screaming.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Not yet¡¡ not yet¡¡ if you don¡¯t think that¡¯s enough¡ don¡¯t give up¡ ¡°
Yes, it isn¡¯t over for Kron yet.
She¡¯s different from me.
¨D¨D Enough¡ I don¡¯t care¡¡
Yes, it¡¯s not like me who threw everything away in the Academy match.
I have no regrets.
I¡¯ve given up, and I¡¯ve had enough.
¨D¨DIf I knew it would be this hard¡ I would not want to be born as a hero¡¯s child¡ Father¡
At that time, with more than ten years¡¯ worth of feeling, I said that.
So it¡¯s toote for me.
But not for her.
She can still tell her.
It¡¯s not toote.
¡°Kron, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Earth¡ b, but¡¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t think this is a good idea, just say it! If you don¡¯t say it now, you¡¯ll regret it for the rest of your life! She will not wait forever!¡±
I don¡¯t know how long that cloud will stay over there.
In the first ce, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with Jamdi¡¯el right now.
But if we move now, we may still be able to do something.
On the other hand, if we keep still like this, we may not make it in time.
The answer, then, was clear enough.
¡°But¡ even if I move¡ I can¡¯t fly like Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m here!¡±
Yes, that¡¯s usually the biggest problem.
Those who cannot fly to the clouds in the sky can¡¯t reach them no matter how hard they struggle.
But that doesn¡¯t mean there is nothing we can do.
¡°I¡¯ll ask a guy who knows how to fly, and I¡¯ll fly you!¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
Someone who should know how to do it was by my side.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºHave you found a reason to fight?¡»
¡¸No, I just thought I should help.¡¹
¡ºFuhahaha, what is that? Well¡ if tis what you intend, make the attempt!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded as he was watching our interaction.
Yes, there¡¯s a way. I don¡¯t know anything about it, but¡
¡ºThen let us prepare. Child¡ and Kron¡ with no one around, and nothing¡ that should be¡¡ move to a spacious location like where you fought Jamdi¡¯el.¡»
¡¸With just me¡ and Kron alone?¡¹
¡ºYes, it may be difficult just by the power of the child at present¡ but with Kron by your side, the possibility of ¡®contacting to him¡¯ may increase.¡»
¡¸Him?¡¹
What? What¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar trying to get her to do?
¡°Ah, for the time being, I¡¯ll prepare a little with Kron. Everyone¡ oh, Mr. Machio, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Sadiz, please stay here for a moment.¡±
¡°Little man? What the heck¡¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s necessary¡ apparently. I still don¡¯t know how yet, but¡¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡ that¡¯s what¡ you mean.¡±
Sadiz alone seemed to have understood this.
There was a way to reach above the unreachable clouds. That it¡¯s not my idea, it¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s.
¡°Eh? The Goddess and Earth¡ what are you trying to do?¡±
¡°Tsukshi¡¡ let¡¯s leave this to Little man.¡±
¡°Do you know what it is, Sadis Big Sister?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡ but there must be a move to y. And it would be better if we were not there as they prepare for it.¡±
¡°What does ¡¡ that mean?¡±
¡°Come on, but¡¡ Little man. Tell the one who came up with the idea. Don¡¯t let him do anything unreasonable.¡±
Everyone seems to be wondering what kind of idea it is, but Sadiz stopped them.
However, Sadiz seemed somewhat ufortable with her gaze. No¡¡ it¡¯s not at me, it¡¯s towards Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Then, let¡¯s go, Kron.
¡°Yes!¡±
Anyway, let¡¯s move for now. Kron also nodded firmly, with pure eyes without doubting me, and ran alongside me.
And¡¡
¡¸So? What are we doing?¡¹
I asked Tre¡¯ainar to tell me about it soon.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºUh huh, of the means to go above that cloud¡ there are two.¡»
¡¸Two?¡¹
¡ºOne is to fly by magic. However, even if you fly blindly against the Seraphs born the ability to fly, you will only be a target and be struck down.¡»
¡¸W, well~, that¡¯s right, but¡¡ then, if that¡¯s no good, what¡¯s the other option?¡¹
There are two ways, but the first method seemed to be a bust.
If that¡¯s the case, then Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion would be the second method¡
¡ºTo have someone who can fly in the sky take you.¡»
¡¸¡¡ huh?¡¹
No¡¡ well, if you can do that¡ do it from the beginning¡¡
¡ºFor instance¡ a monster capable of flying in the sky.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
No way? In spite of myself, I asked.
¡¸Hey, no way¡ are we going to catch a monster that can fly in the sky now? Are there any monsters in this country that can do that?¡¹
¡ºNo, you will not catch one. Even if there were any such monsters, they would only be done in by the Seraphs and Pegasus knights in the same way.¡»
¡¸?¡¹
¡ºYes, even if you are to take a monster who can fly in the sky¡ tis desirable to have a monster of overwhelming strength or enough monsters to deal with all the Seraphs in the entire country.¡»
No, no, no, no, no, it¡¯s desirable¡ but is it even possible?
Can you take such an outrageous monster who can fly in the sky as your ally?
How am I supposed to do that?
¡ºChild, ¡®Summoning Magic¡¯¡ and¡ ¡®Dragon King of Hades¡¯ ¡ do you know of these two?¡»
And from now on, I¡¯m going to listen to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s shocking idea, and after all of that exnation, I¡¯m going to throw a retort from the bottom of my heart.
Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡ rather than flying and antagonizing the Seraphs and their country¡ isn¡¯t that more difficult and life-threatening? Really.
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone¡ Spirit Spirit Spirit¡ Fuhahahahaha¡ post them all.
Chapter 182 – Blood
Chapter 182 - Blood
Summoning magic. It¡¯s a fairly popr magic for mages.
Magic that can call contracted creatures anytime, anywhere by the hands of a mage.
It¡¯s not magic that is taught in the academy, but because of their family, Fu and the princess were able to use it and had their own summons.
By the way, my father and mother couldn¡¯t use it, and neither can I.
However, as long as you can make a contract, the magic is not that difficult.
So, as long as the concept was known and I had a contracted creature, I should be able to learn it.
The problem is¡
¡°Hadeeeees¡ Dragooon?¡±
¡°Yes? Earth, what is it? What is this, Drag on.¡±
The genuinely confused Kron was staring nkly at the unknown name.
That said, I don¡¯t know it either. I¡¯ve only heard of it.
It¡¯s from a picture book, a fairy tale, a biography, and so on.
In other words, he is famous, but he is a legendary being who may or may not have existed.
Tre¡¯ainar once mentioned something about it, but it was true.
¡ºThe Dragon King of Hades¡ long ago, the king of the dragon tribe who continually fought me for the supremacy of the Demon Realm. After several defeats it became my familiar, but surely its power is the strongest ss.¡»
No, no, no, that¡¯s not what I meant¡
¡ºAlthough he became a familiar, well, there were various circumstances ¡ your father¡ he was never summoned to battle against Hiro and that generation, hence his name was only a legend that took on a life of its own¡ but you may still summon him¡¡»
¡¸Before that, you were the one who contracted with the dragon, so I¡¯m not going to be able to summon it!¡¹
¡ºTis fine. So long as he is someone¡¯s familiar, there is a trick to forcibly summon a familiar without a contract if you recite its true name, and use a special magic circle, and ancient chant. In a sense, it can be called a Forced Transition.¡»
¡¸Hah!? Just, what?¡¹
¡ºHowever, as you say, he does not have a contract with you, so I am not sure he will listen to you even if you summon him¡¡»
¡¸No, that¡¯s no good. We might be talking about the Dragon King here! There¡¯s no way he¡¯ll listen to a human! I mean, didn¡¯t he want to destroy the world!?¡¹
¡ºNormally. However, he is not interested in the domination or destruction of the earth. Tis another reason why he and I were in conflict. That one is a little unusual, so the possibility that it will unexpectedly end well is not non-existent¡ and this time Kron will be there.¡»
¡¸Nu¡?¡¹
¡ºThat one, possesses a strong sense of duty. Because Kron is not unrted to me¡ and even more so, you are the one who inherited my skills¡ if you show your firm, unwavering conviction¡ that one admires such things.¡»
I see. I roughly understand what kind of guy he is, but that¡¯s why Kron also came along for the time being.
But, all of this has too much of a ¡°maybe¡± element of luck to it.
It was a proposal that appealed to people¡¯s emotions, which was unusual for Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Earth. How can I help you?¡±
¡°Oh~, as I understand it¡ I¡¯m going to summon a dragon and have him take us to the top of the clouds, and I¡¯d like your help in taming it¡ that¡¯s what¡¡±
¡°Dragon!? Is that like the dragon that often appears in picture books!?¡±
Dragon. She liked the sound of that. Kron¡¯s eyes sparkled.
In fact, I would have been like that, too.
Riding a dragon. Defeating a dragon. As a man, I still admire those kinds of things.
When I heard that Rebal had defeated a dragon while studying abroad, I was quite jealous.
You see, Dragon yer, that¡¯s a very cool title.
But this time, it¡¯s not a normal dragon.
¡°That dragon, it¡¯s¡ the Dragon King of Hades¡ well, its name is ¡¡±
¡°Hades dragon¡¡ eh!? I¡¯ve read about it in a picture book! The legendary dragon called ¡°Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades!¡±.
¡°Oh, yes, that¡¯s it. Hey, you¡¯ve read the same picture book as me.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Oh, a surprising sense ofradery. Well, it¡¯s famous¡
¡°The female hero, Kaguya the brave, fought it for the fate of the world, and under the influence of their battle, they created a huge desert area where no grass could grow on the western continent¡ I thought it had a slightly bad aftertaste for a story to conclude when the conflict never creates anything.¡±
¡°Yes, it was a traumatic picture book that I read when I was a kid. By the way, did you know? The female hero, Kaguya, might have existed a long time ago, and was the source of the desert area that appeared in the picture book is actually located in the western continent.¡±
¡°Oh, is it true!? I, thought for sure it was only in picture books¡ was that right?¡±
¡°It seems. Well, I thought that the Dragon King was a myth¡¡±
¡ºIndeed, child. Tis a little different, is it not? Tis not on this world, but on the moon that Kaguya and Vasr fought. Tis nostalgic¡ with the Dragon King of Hades and Kaguya with the Moonlight Eye, one of the three great magic eyes¡ and in fact, at that time, Shiznautmy¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡»
I haven¡¯t heard you, what are you saying?! Moon? Somehow, didn¡¯t you say something outrageous right now!? Eh, what? What do you mean? Tre¡¯ainar? But I¡¯m scared, so I won¡¯t ask anymore.
¡°Ahem! Well, let¡¯s leave the story of the picture book for now. First, we summon that dragon king.¡±
¡°Yes! I will cooperate with anything! Please tell me, Earth!¡±
For now, let¡¯s pretend I didn¡¯t hear what you just said¡¡ I mean, is it safe? Calling such a monster.
Well, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡
¡ºUh huh, first draw a magic circle on the ground. A dodecagram(12-pointed star) to write on.¡»
¡°Ge¡ such a hassle¡ I¡¯ve never drawn one of those.¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
Up until now, when I learned ancient magic from Trina, or when I learned magic myself, it was with a pentagram or hexagram, which was quite popr.
That alone shows that the magic we will use this time has to draw a very special magic field that is different from the usual.
¡ºOriginally, this would be used to chant and force the invocation, but if the magic is not skilled enough, it will not seed. As such, a drop on the magic circle is necessary¡ a drop of Kron¡¯s blood.¡»
¡°¡¡ Eh!? Blood?¡±
¡°?¡±
¡ºYes, Kron and I¡ have the same gic information¡ therefore, even if you do not have a contract, the possibility of summoning it increases greatly¡¡»
¡°No, I don¡¯t really understand it, but¡ well, even if you¡¯re right¡ Kron¡¯s blood¡¡±
¡°Um, Earth. What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Kron tilted her head to my monologue.
Is it perverted to say ¡°Give me your blood¡± to such an innocent girl?
I feel ufortable, but¡
¡ºOi, do not be upset about something of that level. Summoning with blood is surprisinglymon, is it not? Tis why Japone¡¯s ninja warriors use simr techniques.¡»
¡¸It¡¯s just, rather than me, it¡¯s Kron? You¡¯re asking me to take blood from a girl who looks like she couldn¡¯t kill a bug, who¡¯s been overprotected and has never been hurt in her life¡¡¹
¡°Earth? Blood? Do you need any of my blood? If so, please go ahead.¡±
At that time, when I was a little puzzled by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, Kron, though scowling, offered me her arm without any hesitation.
¡°P, please¡ Kron?¡±
¡°You need my blood, don¡¯t you? If you have a needle or a de¡ or should I bite my arm myself?¡±
¡°Wai, wait wait!?¡±
Usually, you wouldn¡¯t want to be told ¡°Give me blood¡±. If you fight and get injured, you shed blood, you could get hurt and shed blood even though you weren¡¯t fighting¡ but Kron epted it as if it were natural, without hesitation at all.
¡°Hey, Kron ¡ is that okay?¡±
¡°Because we can¡¯t summon it without it, right? I don¡¯t know why you need my blood, but if Earth says so, I believe in Earth.¡±
¡°¡¡ Kron¡¡±
¡°And if this is what it takes to save Jamdi¡¯el¡ please use as much of my blood as you want!¡±
At that moment, I realized that I was underestimating Kron a little.
I was angry when the Seraphs called Kron a ¡°doll¡±, but for some reason I only saw Kron as a naive sheltered girl.
¡°I see¡ that¡¯s right¡¡±
¡°Yes, then please take what you need.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s only a little bit¡¡±
When I was more embarrassed by this, I smiled wryly for being rude to Kron, and I had the hidden needle that I used in the fight against Jamdi¡¯el, but seeing Kron¡¯s white, unblemished skin¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Oh, but it might be painful¡ this¡ is my first time¡ if you can, please be gentle.¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±
¡°Yes¡ I¡¯ll leave it to you, Earth.¡±
¡°It¡¯ll only hurt at the beginning. So just ease your tension and rx¡¡±
¡°L, like this? Well, I¡¯m still a little tense ¡ I know! Earth¡¡ is it okay to¡ hold hands?¡±
¡°¡¡ W, well¡ i, if that makes you feel better¡¡±
¡°Thank you! Earth¡¡ is big ¡ and strong and warm¡¡±
¡°Stop it. It¡¯s embarrassing¡
¡°I¡¯m a little nervous, but¡¡ I¡¯m all right now. Earth¡¡ quickly¡¡e.¡±
¡°Y, yes¡¡±
¡°Oh, un¡¡ eh!¡±
¡°Kron!?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s okay¡ now, Earth¡ please continue¡ do as you like¡ hmm!?
¡°Hang in there. Still, just a bit of the tip¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Although I made up my mind, I also cooperated as much as possible to calm Kron who was a little nervous ¡
¡ºYou are merely to prick the needle in ¡ tis all, you are endlessly sluggish! Tis frustrating to watch! Why do you not get on with it?¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar rushed in my ear with a very unpleasant face.
And, in a way, Kron¡¯s body was vited.
Author¡¯s Note
When I got up in the morning, the overall rating was 108,000 drills. Apart from that, I don¡¯t have a thousand times more worldly desires than normal people. Because I am very elegant.
Chapter 183 – The Dragon King of Hades
Chapter 183 - The Dragon King of Hades
¡°Kron, are you okay?¡±
¡°Yes, It¡¯s just a little prickly, nothing¡¯s wrong. If I say it hurts because of this, everyone willugh at me!¡±
¡°I see.¡±
¡°And ¡ um¡¡ what did you call this? It was my first time being pricked¡ yes, this was my defloweri¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°That¡¯s totally different! So, please don¡¯t say such a thing to anyone, you¡¯ll cause a misunderstanding!¡±
Kron nodded with a hearty smile that said there¡¯s no need to worry about anything. She had a little bandage on her finger, which I had carried for the Magical Vantage.
Kron¡¯s blood was needed for the summoning.
I dropped it on the magic circle, and now we¡¯re ready.
¡¸Good Grief¡ right, Tre¡¯ainar¡ ¡¹
¡ºHmm. Then I will teach you the chant. Also, be prepared. To forcibly summon such a dragon, it will consume enough magic power for the Great Demon Spiral all at once¡ well, as you can use Magical Breathing now, it should prove no problem¡ ¡»
¡¸Okay.¡¹
I¡¯ve heard that you usually don¡¯t need so much magic power just to summon a creature that has made a contract with you. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t be able to summon them so casually.
But what I¡¯m about to do is ancient magic like Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s secret technique, and what I will summon is a legendary monster.
In a way, I¡¯m starting to get very nervous.
What if it suddenly attacks or goes on a rampage?
¡°Come on, Earth! Let¡¯s summon Vasr!¡±
On the other hand, Kron was snorting ¡°Hun, Hun¡± with a sense of excitement.
This girl doesn¡¯t seem to have any idea of the anxiety I¡¯m feeling over here.
Is this really okay?
If ites down to it, I¡¯ll have to protect her.
¡ºRest assured, he is not one to suddenly rampage indiscriminately.¡»
For now, Tre¡¯ainar said we didn¡¯t have to worry, so let¡¯s be prepared.
¡°Alright! Let¡¯s do this!¡±
¡ºHmm!¡»
¡°Yes!¡±
We ¡°three¡± got into the spirit. And I listened to Tre¡¯ainar with all my magic power.
¡ºThe chant goes¡ Ama~a?o~o ?a?u?e¨½¡¯¨½u ?a?o?e??u ?a¨½?a?a ?a?ama?o ?ai?a??u! Forced Summon Magic, ¡¾Sokjeetz¡¿!¡»
¡°Ama~a?o~o ?a?u?e¨½¡¯¨½u ?a?o?e??u ?a¨½?a?a ?a?ama?o ?ai?a??u! Forced Summon Magic, ¡¾Sokjeetz¡¿!¡±
The whole magic circle lit up at once, starting from the spot where Kron¡¯s blood was dropped.
I also felt as if all the magic power was being drained from my body.
This is¡¡
¡°Amazing! It¡¯s glowing!¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
The magic circle emitted a more intense light than I have ever seen before, and at the same time the space cracked like ss, and finally shattered into pieces to reveal the darkest darkness¡
¡°It¡¯sing!!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Something huge emerged from the darkness beyond the space that was ruptured by the light.
At that moment, I felt an intense chill run through my body.
¡°Ah ¡ uh ¡ ah¡¡±
What¡¯s this feeling? Fear? I don¡¯t know.
I don¡¯t know why, but ¡¡ even though I¡¯m just here, my whole life was shing before my eyes¡ the faces of my father, mother, and Sadiz suddenly came to my mind¡ what the hell is that?
A shivering cold.
And yet, I was sweating like a waterfall.
And finally¡
¡°¡¡ huh? Heh?¡±
The dragon appeared¡ or so I thought. But it wasn¡¯t a dragon that came out of the darkness, but a huge horned cow that I have never seen¡? No, a beast I¡¯ve never seen before.
The huge beast with a huge body and fur was¡
¡°Why? Who dares forcibly summon me during my meal? Where is th¡¯ oaf?¡± [1]
¡°¡±Eeh!!??¡±¡±
An even bigger monster was grabbing the corpse of the giant beast that I had never seen before¡ no, the dragon finally put its whole body in front of us with a grumpy voice.
¡ºFuh~¡ making meal of a ferocious carnivore such as a behemoth¡ as usual.¡»
Be, behemoth? Somehow, it¡¯s the same name as the outrageous monster that appeared in so many novels and picture books!?
However, the problem was not that, it was the even bigger monster that appeared with such a monster grasped in one hand.
¡°This is¡¡±
¡°Ara¡¡±
Its whole body was covered with vermilion scales, with sharp three-pronged horns, fangs that chewed everything up, and ws that could tear through anything.
There were a good number of wild dragons in this world, but it¡¯s probably nothing like any of them.
We can¡¯t lump them all together under the term ¡°dragon¡±.
It¡¯s just a monster, that¡¯s all I can say.
¡°Hmm~? ¡ What? Blue sky? Th¡¯ Sun? Is this th¡¯ Surface world? ¡¡ hmm¡¡ some strange clouds, but¡ hmm¡¡±
The next moment, my eyes met with the monster that was looking down at us. That alone made my knees tremble and I almost fell on my behind.
It was different from any creature I¡¯ve ever encountered.
Huge¡¡ it wasn¡¯t just about the physique¡ a sense of intimidation? An aura? Anyway, everything was too big for me to make sense of anything.
Even Jamdi¡¯el as an opponent didn¡¯t evoke this feeling¡
¡°Th¡¯ only person who could summon me is th¡¯ deceased Tre¡¯ainar¡ did you use ancient magic? Humhum¡¡±
The monster looked at us both as if it were inspecting us.
I couldn¡¯t speak.
You never know what could end up being yourst words. If you offend this entity even a little, you could instantly be¡?
Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ are you really sure¡¡ this is okay?
¡°Hello, how do you do. My name is Kron. Nice to meet you, Great Vasr, Dragon King of Hades?¡±
¡°ts Heeeeey!? Kron!?¡±
And yet, Kron, unaware of my feelings, gave a greeting by picking up both ends of her skirt.
Hey hey hey hey! I mean, why? Kron, aren¡¯t you scared? Are you smiling?
I can say with confidence that¡¡ this here¡¡ in a sense, is a big shot?
¡°Hoh~, I thought it would be a rude one to summon me so suddenly, but you¡¯re a sweet youngssie. Yesh, it¡¯s nice to meet you ¡ well ¡ you look familiar.¡±
However, I thought that it would get angry at her for speaking without permission, but rather the monster showed a pleasant reaction.
Then the monster nodded¡
¡°So? I¡¯m called Vasr, after all, but are you th¡¯ one who summoned me? Mdy?¡±
Vasr! After all, this is the Dragon King of Hades¡ obviously. If this wasn¡¯t the Dragon King of Hades, who would it be?
This¡¡ this is¡¡
¡°No. I only cooperated and it was Earth here that summoned you.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hoh~¡¡ a human?¡±
And the Dragon King of Hades shifted his eyes to me.
What? What are you trying to do? What are you looking at?
¡°So? Will th¡¯ddie of th¡¯ pair¡¡ not give his greeting?¡±
¡°I¡¯m Earth! Earth Lagann! Nice to meet you!¡±
That was close! Also, what would have happened if I had been even a momentte with my greeting? No matter what happened, it wouldn¡¯t be strange, so I was truly panicked now.
Hmm? What do you mean¡¡ pair?
¡°Ah, no, and I¡¯m not¡ we¡¯re not paired.¡±
¡°Paired? What¡¯s a pair? Earth?¡±
¡°That¡¯s, like a married couple¡¡±
¡°Ah! Yes, Earth and I aren¡¯t married yet! We¡¯re nning to start off as friends.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not the issue, bute on, you should be a little more nervous!¡±
Tsu, what are we talking about, I mean, what? I¡¯m too panicked to think straight, and I couldn¡¯t understand a thing.
And then Vasr¡
¡°What~, so sickly-sweet~¡±
Somehow, it reacted like a strange neighborhood uncle that habitually bantered.
But still, I would soon find out.
¡°So¡?¡±
This monster with a strong presence¡
¡°About me¡ what d¡¯you intend of me?¡±
¡°¡±Eeh?¡±¡±
Sure enough, this was the legendary Dragon King of Hades.
[]
[S1] We have a Giant talking dragon (who might still transform into a human shaped loli), and the first thing that came to mind was the Movie Dragonheart, where Sean Connery voiced the Dragon. Hence I tried implying a Scottish ent in Vasr¡¯s Dialogue (which might be ruined if the loli thing actually happens). Also Vasr is my y on the name Basara (¥Ð¥µ¥é), which means acting without restraint, self-indulgence, or being pretentious.
Chapter 184 – Interest
Chapter 184 - Interest
¡°Jamdi¡¯el of the Six Supremacy, a former subordinate the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, was taken to the Heavenly Realm. I want to go there, but I have no means. Will you take me?¡±
¡°Please, Vasr. Could you help us?¡±
Kron and I exined the situation and bowed so as not to offend the other party.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
After hearing our story, Vasr threw away the bones of the behemoth he had eaten, then slowly looked up at the sky and squinted.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s subordinate¡ oh, one of those six. That said, I only remember two¡ Oh I see. I didn¡¯t have any interest in th¡¯ Demon King Army after Tre¡¯ainar died, so I left it alone¡ was a surviving executive taken¡ hmm.¡±
And after listening to our story a little¡
¡°Nah¡ I¡¯m not interested.¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±
To our pleas, Vasr threw a brief refusal.
But we were in no position to ask, ¡°why not?¡±.
From his point of view, he was probably thinking, ¡°What¡¯s with this guy summoning me out of the blue, and asking for a favor at the first meeting?¡±.
But for now, I had no choice but to put my faith in him.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ I asked, but¡¡¹
¡ºI suppose. After all, even with Kron present, tis not enough¡¡»
¡¸Hey hey!¡¹
¡ºTis fine. Keep asking. This is within expectations. Continue asking, and the tide will turn.¡»
¡¸But¡ uh¡¡¹
¡ºExpress yourself, gain his interest.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar, with a serious expression, told me to keep asking.
The fact that Tre¡¯ainar, who has had a long rtionship with this Dragon King, said so, must mean something.
Anyway, we just have to believe in Tre¡¯ainar and keep asking.
¡°Th that¡¯s right¡ I beg of you.¡±
¡°Please! You¡¯re the only one we can rely on right now!¡±
¡°It¡¯s so annoying~. At least, I have no obligation to help with that.¡±
That said, Vasr grew a little bored and absent-minded, rather than unconcerned.
It¡¯s as if he¡¯s sleepy after a meal.
We can¡¯t go on like this.
I have to get him interested somehow.
¡°Oh, you ¡ are you like arade of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°I¡¯m human, but believe it or not¡ I¡¯m thest disciple of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar. And Kron here is the same as the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Oh, I mentioned being Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple in front of Kron¡ I¡¯ll get her to keep quiet on it afterwards.
Well, but at least now we can talk about it a little¡
¡°So what?¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
I tried to appeal to him with Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s name, but I got a different response than I had expected.
Huh? Isn¡¯t he Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s familiar?
Somehow, weren¡¯t you close¡ Tre¡¯ainar? What¡¯s going on?
¡°Fuwa~~ ah¡ that reminds me, th¡¯ old days had such wee ones in vast numbers. My father is rich~, he¡¯s great~, he¡¯s a nobleman~ just prattling as such on and on, ipetents that can¡¯t do anything else.¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°Times change. I¡¯m not sure what happened, but even if a human is Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple, that¡¯s just th¡¯ way of th¡¯ era, and I don¡¯t take them lightly just because they¡¯re human. I know very well how spirited humans can get. I¡¯m just saying¡¡ddie. What¡¯s the point of being Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple? What if he and th¡¯ youngssie are simr? How trifling.¡±
The moment I saw those eyes, my body got hot. How embarrassing.
It sounded like he was saying that I was no different from those ¡°idiot sons of nobles¡±.
No, maybe that¡¯s actually what he just said.
The other party is the Dragon King of Hades, but I¡¯m Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s disciple, so I thought he would listen to me.
I looked like a small fry to this guy.
That¡¯s why he looked at me with such a bored expression.
¡°Is this all right? At my most passionate peak ¡ everyone was expressing themselves, regardless of whether they were human or demon. I, Tre¡¯ainar, Hakuki, Kaguya, and many other greats devoted ourselves to battle, putting our lives and th¡¯ world on th¡¯ line! I lived through such an age and now live azy life where my blood and soul wither and grow, why would I lend any help or interest to some immature wee bastard who can¡¯t even talk to me without help from th¡¯ dead Demon King?¡±
Legend of the Past¡ he felt like one of those who were always proud of things like ¡°In those days we were¡¡±, it¡¯s no wonder I look like a small fry saying ¡°I¡¯m a disciple of the Great Demon King¡±.
¡°Such is th¡¯ circumstance, you oaf. If you¡¯re going to ask for my help, do so when you can get my interest without help from anyone.¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s¡ how it is¡¡±
Yeah, is that so¡ I get it now¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ you and this guy¡
¡ºSuch is the way it is¡¡»
You knew, didn¡¯t you? From the start.
The Dragon King of Hades was not someone who will listen to you if you ask him for a ¡°favor¡±.
You to me¡
¡°So you¡¯re saying¡ if I can get you interested, then it¡¯s okay?¡±
¡ºQuite so.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡ hnn?¡±
¡°Earth!¡±¡±
Geez, this master! I¡¯m up against the legendary Dragon King of Hades, right?
With that in mind, you didn¡¯t tell me to do this from the beginning¡ because you thought I¡¯d be intimidated?
¡ºNo, I knew you would reach this answer soon enough.¡»
How do you get someone interested in you when they¡¯ve spent all their life fighting?
It¡¯s that simple.
No, very difficult, huh?
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
¡°Oh~¡ how nostalgic.¡±
In other words, I should show you ¡°my power¡±, right? Against the Dragon King of Hades.
Against such a monster that seemed to be stronger than anyone I¡¯ve ever fought¡ stronger than Jamdi¡¯el.
¡ºEven if they wither away¡ those eyes have yet to rot, have they? See? Vasr. His power is still immature, but¡ the child has enough to hold your interest, does he not?¡»
But Tre¡¯ainar believed, ¡°I can do it¡±.
It was the most reliable foundation in the world.
¡°Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades¡ once again¡¡ allow me to introduce myself! I am¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Don¡¯t want it!¡±
I was about to introduce myself to Vasr again as me, without the title of being a disciple of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar attached to my head, but Vasr interrupted me.
But it¡¯s not just because he wasn¡¯t interested in me¡
¡°As a man¡ give your name with your body and soul. Then, as an after meal dessert, I will take a look at your existence.¡±
Perhaps he was interested in me for a moment, Vasr smiled with a grin and slowly moved his gigantic body to confront me.
Chapter 185 – Nostalgia
Chapter 185 - Nostalgia
¡°Nuwahahahahaha, been a while since Ist yed with a human¡ was it since Kaguya? Well, that one being ssified as a human being was questionable¡ now then¡¡±
Vasr got up as if to lend his chest to me, saying, ¡°Come at me,¡± as I activated the breakthrough and got into a fighting stance.
For the other side, it¡¯s not a battle, he¡¯s just trying to assess me.
¡ºUnlike the time against Jamdi¡¯el, there is no strategy. Think of nothing, just sh into him.¡»
¡¸Osu!¡¹
In the battle against Jamdi¡¯el, I was only thinking about winning anyway.
For that purpose, we made a strategy and yed a lot of tricks.
But this time it¡¯s not a fight.
It was a kind of self-introduction.
In other words, there was no need to hold back.
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿!!¡±
¡°Hou~¡±
An effective way to let people know who you are was by giving them your best from the start.
A roaring spiral. A whirlwind blowing.
And just as I was about to jump in, Vasr squinted a little.
¡°I see. After th¡¯ breakthrough¡ it¡¯s not just ¡°knowing¡± it¡ but actually seeing it with your own eyes¡¡ no, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve experienced it, not just a mimicry¡ how nostalgic¡¡±
In those words, I muttered ¡°correct answer¡± inwardly.
Yes, over and over again¡ is it even a dream? No, I¡¯ve been shattered many times by this technique in a world where it¡¯s a dream but it¡¯s reality.
I¡¯m not just an imitation.
I¡¯ll prove it!
¡°¡¾Earth Spiral Break¡¿!!¡±
Attack, drill through! The legendary Dragon King.
No need to worry about anything.
¡°Pieeeeeeeeeeerce!¡±
¡°Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuunh!!!!¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar said, don¡¯t think about anything, just hit it-
¡°Nuwahahahahahahaha¡¡ such grit. Spirit is also good. However¡¡ th¡¯ power still has a long way to go,pared to him¡ a juggling act.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Hard! That was the moment I jumped in and thrust the spiral, the feeling that was transmitted to me.
The moment my spiral touched the scales of Vasr, it had apletely different feel and sensation than any other time I had used this technique.
And it wasn¡¯t just hard.
¡°Wha, r, rotation¡ but¡±
Even the rotation of the thrusting spiral has stopped.
¡°With his spiral, by its mere rotation, it creates a great maelstrom that kicks up th¡¯ clouds and roars even in th¡¯ heavens, literally causing a catastrophe.¡±
It¡¯s hard, thick, heavy, with high density, and it¡¯s not the scales and skin hardness and flesh thickness and whatnot.
I mean¡I can only say ¡°It¡¯s different, it¡¯s gargantuan¡±.
This thing is so fundamentally different from any creature I¡¯ve ever encountered that I can¡¯t even begin to describe what makes it different.
¡°But it was quite impressive. Now then¡¡ I shall give my name.¡±
¡°Eh!?
¡°With power¡ Gaeh¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D!!!!¡±
For a moment, I thought Vasr was going to let out a deep, sighing breath of air¡ but then my entire body was flung violently as if I had been charged by a rampaging horse, and I struck on the ground countless times.
¡°Gah, tsu, gah!¡±.
¡°Earth!?¡±
It¡¯s not about endurance or anything like that.
¡°Wee and light~ ¡¡ well, I could tell just by th¡¯ sight of you. Now¡¡ what will you do?¡±
I felt a force so strong that human beings could never withstand it.
An attack? Even though I wasn¡¯t touched directly, it was engraved into my bones.
¡°ts, gah¡ wh, what the¡ hell was¡¡±
What power.
Using the breakthrough, my reaction speed has also improved, but it is as if my pride at having gotten a little stronger over the course of these intense battles had been shattered¡
¡ºBut you still live. Do not forget. Your task is not to defeat this one. He understands the difference in power between you. And has no intention to kill you.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
Then, just as the blow made me realize the difference in power, Tre¡¯ainar told me.
¡ºWhat Vasr wants to see is beyond here. What would you do from here in this situation ¡ there, Vasr will attempt to gauge the essence of the person.¡»
I knew from the beginning that I couldn¡¯t win.
Even so, I could have faced it the first time if I felt like it, as long as I was foolhardy enough.
If you¡¯re just a momentary idiot¡
¡°Earth, pull yourself together, Earth!¡±
¡°tte~¡ but¡¡±
¡°?¡±
However, what if you could experience the power of the opponent and realize the difference is immeasurable?
Also, getting up again to fight is quite difficult.
But it sounded like Tre¡¯ainar was saying, ¡°I want to see if you can do it¡±.
¡°From here¡¡ I¡¯m¡¡±
And then¡¡
¡ºThat¡¯s right.¡»
¡°Nu¡¡±
As if she could see through my thoughts, Vasr nodded with a smile.
¡°Foolishly enough, anyone can challenge th¡¯ strong once or twice. But knowing fear, can you still throw yourself out again for something that you can¡¯t give up on? Show me. There I shall see your nature.¡±
It¡¯s terrifying¡
¡°Jeez¡ it¡¯s exactly as you said¡¡±
The Dragon King¡ is not as terrifying ¡ as Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºNuh? What was that?¡»
As Tre¡¯ainar said, this is the kind of guy Vasr is.
He saw through everything from the beginning.
And I wonder why.
If you think about it like that¡¡
¡°So strong and big¡ but¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar has fought with this guy and won.
I spar with that Tre¡¯ainar every day, and he still believed in me and pushed my back.
Then I should be able to do it.
¡°More than the fear of what¡¯s in front of me¡ I¡¯m more afraid of being a disappointment and abandoned.¡±¡±
Not to the Dragon King¡ no. To Tre¡¯ainar.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°One more time¡ more than before¡ I¡¯ll go through you!¡±
The difference in power was drilled into me, but somehow I was not afraid.
¡°Su~¡ hah~¡¡±
So I was able to calm down and get into position.
¡°Nuwahahahaha, you¡¯re a cheeky weeddie, skillful too. D¡¯you also use Magical Breathing?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Break¡¿!¡±
¡°Perhaps, you may really be his disciple, but¡¡±
Take a breath, inhale the magic power, and dive back in with full force ¡ª
¡°Th¡¯ technique itself is th¡¯ same. You can¡¯t numb me with th¡¯ same thing you already once showed.¡±
¡°h h h, enough talk! Ruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeehh!!!
¡°With no result, I can¡¯t give much praise to useless screaming.¡±
Even a little bit. I want to leave my mark on this guy.
However, just ¡°thinking¡± does not bring immediate results.
As long as the power of the technique itself does not change, it may be natural ¡ it¡¯s not just about feelings¡ to get results, I need more power¡
¡ºDo not delve into negative thoughts now. Think simpler.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºMore power? I have given you the hint already, have I not? So you should be able to do it now.¡»
Are you teaching me? What? More? How?
¡ºWell, be that as it may¡ what are you doing there? You have the same genes as I do¡¡»
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡ºThe child denied it, but¡ if are unable to move anything in this ce, you truly will be nothing but a doll, will you not? Well, so long as you y the role of summoning Vasr¡ I do not care anymore¡¡»
At that time, I was losing myself, so I didn¡¯t know for certain, but it sounded like Tre¡¯ainar was whispering something to Kron, who couldn¡¯t see him or even hear his voice.
Author¡¯s Note
I LIVE
Chapter 186 – Intermission (Goddess)
Chapter 186 - Intermission (Goddess)
To face such a big and strong person, despite his fear.
When I look at him, I am beyond terrified, and my heart throbs.
No matter what people say, I feel a will that will not yield.
¡°Earth¡ you are so brave, aren¡¯t you? And with such a strong heart.¡±
On the other hand, what about my heart?
From the time I could remember, I¡¯ve been different from others.
I was said to be a goddess who drew the blood of god, and was blessed with a privileged environment.
While my country and people lived in poverty under oppression, I was never inconvenienced, never starved, just acquiring the knowledge I was given, and sometimes went out in front of people to give smiles and words.
That was my life.
¨D¨D Lady Kron, once thou turn fifteen, I will partner thee with the most promising disciple I have raised, to give birth to the next generation.
I had never thought of it as a misfortune.
Because I was taught that this is what I was meant to be.
However, when I was young, I had some troubles, not to say I was unhappy.
Why do I look different from others?
Why don¡¯t I have a father or a mother?
Why was I born into this world?
Jamdi¡¯el, who had been with me since I was little, every time I asked¡
¨D¨DThou are different from those apes. The chosen being who draws the blood of God!
She would say, without hesitation.
That¡¯s why I am not only for myself, but also for all the people in this world.
Being a person who draws the blood of God, I was not allowed to have any selfishness whatsoever.
Maybe I didn¡¯t have a will of my own.
¨D¨DI see¡ thou is¡ a pitiful doll.
But that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t get those words out of my head.
Because I couldn¡¯t deny them.
Am I a doll?
But that¡¯s why I can¡¯t get those words out of my head.
¨D¨DDon¡¯t you call Kron a doll.
Earth, you said that.
And, you asked me.
¨D¨D What do you want me to do? No, what do you want to happen? What is it you want? Kron.
You asked me what I wanted.
Why is that? When I heard your words, that was my only answer.
And at the same time, it reminded me of the past.
That was¡¡
¡°Hey, Bro. Why are you going outside?¡±
When I was younger, the person who yed with me also had his own will.
¡°Both you and the master came from outside this ind, yeh. I also want to see what¡¯s outside this ind. There may be a ce for me.¡±
¡°This is your country, right?¡¯
¡°Maybe so, but¡¡±
Bro touched his horn with a slightly lonely expression.
In this country, Bro and I were the only ones with horns growing out of our heads.
And Bro seemed to be somewhat concerned about his horn.
¡°Besides, I want to get stronger. The master¡ don¡¯t chase after desires you don¡¯t understand, she just wants me to look at you. Do you know how a man feels about that? Lil sis.¡±
¡°Bro is my brother, but I¡¯m a goddess, so I don¡¯t have a family.¡±
¡°Kakkakka, then you do what you want, yeh.¡±
With that said, he stroked my hair, crumpling it up.
Jamdi¡¯el was always getting angry at that, saying it was ¡°disrespectful,¡± but I didn¡¯t hate it.
¡°As I am now, I don¡¯t have the power to have master see me as a man. That¡¯s why I¡¯m going to get stronger.¡±
¡°Stronger ¡?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to spend my life regretting my weakness. If I¡¯m strong, I could prevent things that could happen, I wouldn¡¯t lose, and with that, I wouldn¡¯t have any regrets, yeh.¡±
And so Bro ran out of the country.
Finally, he turned to me and said¡
¡°Kron, you too¡ you¡¯re a good kid, but¡ let¡¯s get stronger, yeh.¡±
At that time, I couldn¡¯t think too deeply about that remark.
However, I felt sad that the friend who yed with me left the country.
But you know what, Bro? Now I remember, and your words came to my heart.
Because I regretted that they took Jamdi¡¯el away from me.
And, Earth brought out the feelings that I had kept in my heart.
What did I regret?
What did I want all along?
What did I want to say¡
¨D¨D My true feelings¡ were full of what I really wanted to call her¡ there were so many¡ in the end, I couldn¡¯t say anything!
My own true feelings, even if I am a doll.
In response to my feelings, you said to me¡
¨D¨DI¡¯ll fly you!
And like this, you are still fighting to fulfill those words.
¡°Third time¡¯s the chaaaaaarm, ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿!!!¡±
¡°Nuwahahahahahahaha¡¡ nothing else?¡±
If true, that was my role. That¡¯s what I have to fight for.
I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re willing to go that far.
But I¡¯ve already got my answer.
¡°Bro, you¡¯re right. I need to be¡ stronger. And I need to do it now!¡±
That¡¯s how I felt right now.
¡°Earth. I don¡¯t want you to fly me there. I want to fly with you too!¡±
I can¡¯t wait for someone to help me.
I will fight too.
I also want to fight.
With you, Earth.
That¡¯s my will.
So, I¡¯m sorry, Jamdi¡¯el.
Today, for the first time, I will go against your instructions and use the power of ¡°this eye¡±.
So, please get very angry afterwards, okay?
Chapter 187 – Daybreak
Chapter 187 - Daybreak
More than now? How? Anyway, I screamed and unleashed the Great Demon Spiral with all my might, only to be bounced back by Vasr and rolling on the ground.
Vasr had the power to kill me at any time, but he handled me with just enough restraint to keep me from falling unconscious.
However, after my special attack was unleashed three times, he was getting bored of it.
From the perspective of Vasr, even my strongest technique was considered as me being ¡°out of material¡±.
However, I have no choice but to use the Great Magic Spiral.
When Vasr released a light breath at me¡
¡°Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral Earth Spiral Tornado¡¿!!¡±
I attacked with a tornado generated from the Great Magic Spiral.
¡°tsuo!? P, push through!!¡±
¡°Ahaha!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
For me, even the strongest and most powerful vortex was blown away by a single breath from Vasr¡¯s nose.
But this was reality.
Vasr¡¯s breath shook me and the axis of the vortex.
Vasr snickered at me with his nose, ¡°is that all?¡±
¡°Damn¡ Oooooooooooooooh!
Tre¡¯ainar said he had already given me a hint.
If he said so, that means it¡¯s true.
What have I learned so far? When did Tre¡¯ainar give a hint? Where? What?
¡°Creation(Genesis)!!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Nuh!¡±
At that moment.
I found Kron, who was supposed to have been behind me, right next to me.
¡°¡¡ That eye¡ Hohou!¡±
¡°Now¡¡±
And, the moment both her eyes were opened, they shone like the sun at dawn.
¡°Six-Gates? No, this dawn light is¡ Daybreak Eye(Gyokogan)!¡±
¡ºI suppose you have yet to reach the Six-Gates¡ well¡¡»
At that time, Vasr raised a surprised voice for the first time.
Tre¡¯ainar also looked on with interest.
And¡¡
¡°Kron? What, are you¡ it¡¯s dangerous¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°If you¡¯re prepared, I¡¯ve made up my mind in my own way!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°If this is a path that must be fought for, not just prayed for and hoped for, then I will go with you!¡±
Kron, who always had an iprehensible natural side to her, shouted this next to me with a strong tone and strong eyes for the first time.
And that¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Like Earth, many spirals, appear!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
The moment Kron shouted, they appeared without warning.
¡°Hoh~¡¡±
¡°Wh, what!?¡±
A myriad of glowing spiral vortices about the size of my Great Magic Spiral appeared above Vasr¡¯s head.
¡°Hey, idiot!? Kron, what the hell¡?¡±
¡°Rain down!¡±
At Kron¡¯s direction, the Great Magic Spirals fell all at once on Vasr like rain.
Did Kron do all this? I don¡¯t understand. What the hell is going on?
¡°Oh~, how unbearable, nuwahahahaha, oh, they keeping~ dong dong¡°
Vasr received the rain of spirals. His expression changed from his boredom, and he gave a very belligerent smile.
In addition¡¡
¡°Great Rose! Please catch Vasr!
The next moment, the ground shook.
Then, from under the ground, a huge nt with thorns appeared¡ that¡¯s the magic that angel prince had used!
¡°Oh! Nuwahahaha, a pretty big flower!
Giant rose vines entwined around Vasr¡¯s entire body, tightening, and trying to capture and restrain his movement.
Why was Kron using such magic?
¡°Kron¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°Earth, this power¡ Jamdi¡¯el told me not to use it carelessly. I disobeyed Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s instructions.¡±
Even as she unleashed great magic that restrained Basara¡¯s movement, Kron held her tongue and was bashful.
However, she immediately opened her shining eyes¡
¡°So the reason I¡¯m here now, fighting like this, is not because ¡¡ anyone told me to, it¡¯s because I want to!¡±
¡ºThen, show them!¡»
At the same moment that Kron shouted, I heard a somewhat cheerfully murmur from Tre¡¯ainar.
I didn¡¯t understand what she meant, and I was still puzzled by Kron suddenly standing next to me.
But on the other hand¡
¡°Nwahahahahaha, oh, ouch, it hurts¡ or so I¡¯d like to say¡ you still don¡¯t have much of an imagination.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°An ¡®illusion¡¯ that hurts a wee bit, but your imagination is still not enough to reach me.¡±
Even though all those Great Magic Spirals have poured down all at once, and his whole body was caught with huge rose vines, it wasn¡¯t effective on Vasr at all?
No, it¡¯s not.
¡°This stuff, doesn¡¯t woooooooork!
¡°Ah¡¡±
That¡¯s¡
¡ºIncidentally, child, tis just an illusion.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar murmured, the spirals and rose vines that fell upon Vasr were ephemerally shattered.
But illusion? Vasr seemed to see through it, but it looked real to me, you know?
¡ºSimply put, tis like showing Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿, in the real world and involving others¡¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡ºThe ultimate illusion that affects the brains of all who see the dawn light. The illusion of the brain also affects the five senses. Not just sight, but ¡¡ pain and suffering as well.¡»
¡°An illusion of pain and¡ suffering?¡±
¡ºTis so. A light that illuminates the ambiguous world between night and morning¡ the power to control the boundary between the reality and fantasy of the world¡¡¡ that is¨D¨D¨D¡»
The eyes that Kron had. The name of the eye was one that I had heard of during ss at the academy.
That was one of the magic eyes, along with the Heraldic eye of Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°It¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve dealt with th¡¯ Daybreak Eye.¡±
That is the Daybreak Eye. Of course I¡¯ve never seen it before.
It wasn¡¯t strange, since the Heraldic eye exists, but Kron had such eyes?
But¡
¡°But after all, it¡¯s a backwardpatible version of th¡¯ ¡®Six-Gate Eye¡¯ that Tre¡¯ainar had attained. In addition, you have been raised with great care, haven¡¯t you? Th¡¯ imagination put into your creation don¡¯t amount to much, do they? Also, th¡¯ illusion of physical pain and suffering¡ I didn¡¯t really feel much.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Anyone with that eye can create any illusion that is close to reality. Whether it is a vision of th¡¯ world¡¯s copse, hellfire, and divine lightning, all depending on their imagination. However, my existence is far beyond that imagination of yours.¡±
I was surprised that Kron had such a legendary magic eye, but the opponent was also a legend.
Moreover, it¡¯s a monster that was once like a rival to Tre¡¯ainar.
Kron, who has little actual experience, can¡¯t win suddenly against such an opponent.
But now¡
¡°You may be right. I don¡¯t know anything. Still, nothing. That¡¯s why¡¡ I want to learn more from now on. I want Jamdi¡¯el to teach me. And Earth too. And the world. I want to know more about the good and the bad. But I don¡¯t know yet. Then¡¡±
Then Kron grabbed my hand.
And looked at me¡
¡°Earth, lend me your strength¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Don¡¯t ask me that now.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
¡°You can¡¯te all the way here only for me to say I won¡¯t give it to you.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ yes!
Even if Kron couldn¡¯t win on her own, there are two of us now.
So I also took Kron¡¯s hand.
With me and Kron¡
¡°What about it? You think ad and weessie can face me by working together? Don¡¯t underestimate me too much, okay?¡±
Of course, it¡¯s not an easy opponent to beat just because Kron and I joined forces.
But Kron whispered to me as if she had some secret n.
¡°From now on, I will use the power of my eyes to apply an illusion on you.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ to make you believe, ¡®you can do anything¡¯.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ha?¡±
¡°Oh, no, I¡¯m not sure either¡¡±
¡°Hey!?¡±
I didn¡¯t understand what she was saying. However, Kron herself didn¡¯t really seem to understand when I asked her back.
¡°But, Jamdi¡¯el said¡ the power of my eyes seems to exert a strong suggestion on the other person¡¯s brain, so not only can I show them illusions, but I can even recreate the pain and suffering that their brain believed¡ um, so¡ hmm, I mean! You¡¯ll be able to do anything from now on!¡±
No, it doesn¡¯t make any sense.
But still, I did not have the option to refuse.
Chapter 188 – The Ideal
Chapter 188 - The Ideal
I honestly didn¡¯t quite understand Kron¡¯s exnation. The illusion of ¡°I can do anything¡±?
What do you mean, ¡°anything¡±?
¡ºFufufu, it seems to have arrived? Well, tis not exactly to my expectations, but why not quietly ept it?¡»
That didn¡¯t answer my question, but Tre¡¯ainar smiled cheerfully.
¡ºOf course, tis a hallucination, you cannot do what you cannot do. However, tis important to have the unwavering confidence that ¡°it can be done¡±. And the power of the brain¡¯s assumptions can sometimes go beyond image and affects reality.¡»
Brain¡¯s assumptions? Hallucination? What kind of change would that make in me¡?
¡°Here we go, Earth!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
¡°Daybreak Eye, Activate! Magic Eye Skill, ¡¾cebo Kiaida¡¿!¡±
I don¡¯t know what will happen yet. Kron¡¯s eyes stared into mine, opened wide, and emitted the light of dawn with her chanting.
And then it seeped in.
What? What¡¯s this feeling?
¡°Eh¡ ah¡ hot!¡±
My body was hot. It burned as if it were melting. My heart was beating violently.
But at the same time¡ the fear that had been building up in me ¡ it disappeared, I felt only confidence¡
¡°Earth, you can do anything!¡±
¡°I can¡¡±
¡°Try to reach your ideal¡ your ideal strength¡ your ideal power¡ your ideal technique¡ you will be the ideal!¡±
¡°Ideal¡¡±
¡°I understand, I know how much effort you put in every day.¡±
The next moment, Kron was hugging me from the front.
¡°And if you need it, you can use my magic with me.¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
Normally, I would be embarrassed with something like this, but this time it¡¯s different.
I was absolutely overflowing.
Overflowing with power.
¡°Now that I¡¯ve decided to fight with you, I am leaving all of me to you, and I¡¯ll say it again and again. You can do anything!¡±
Kron¡¯s magic power came flowing into me. And her words.
I can do anything?
My ideal?
My ideal is¡ decided¡ it has been¡ ever since I was a kid.
¨D¨DFu is the best wizard in the world! Rebal is the best swordsman in the world! Phianse is the best spearmaster in the world! And I¡¯m¨D¨D
I¡¯ve been pursuing that ideal for a long time, but I hit a wall and had fallen short¡ that¡¯s why I was looking for strength¡ why though?
When Kron¡¯s words made me think about what my ideal was, it brought back a memory from when I was a kid, but it soon disappeared¡
¨D¨D Shut them up! The surroundings! The world! Everything!
The figure of my father whom I was chasing vanished, and before I knew it, all I could think of was him.
¡ºYes,e out of your shell! Whatever it is, believe you are capable of it! Best of all, you have umted that much! I know that better than anyone else!¡»
¡°I, can do it! Just like you! UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEHH!!¡±
From there on, I¡¯m not sure what kind of magic I used to be able to do that.
But I did it.
I recreated his power as I saw it back then.
¨D¨D¡¾Great Demon?Butt Jump!! ¡¿
¨D¨DBwaaaaahahahahahahaha, dowaaahahahahahahaha!! Giyaaaaahahahahahahaha!!
¨D¨D¡¡ ¡¾Super Great Demon Spiral¡¿¡
¨D¨DHi, ha, haha, haha¡¡heh?
It was when I was first taught jump rope in the world of ¡¾Vier¡¿.
When I burst intoughter at one of the tricks Tre¡¯ainar showed me, an angry Tre¡¯ainar used that on me.
A mountainous spiral.
Furthermore¡¡
¨D¨DHigh difficulty pose. Magical Demon Saint Pose!
¨D¨D¡¡ Pff¡
¨D¨DAnd this, cur, is my favorite Great Demon Spiral¡ materialization in both hands ¡ ¡¾Great Demon Twin Spiral ? Devil Spiral Breakstream¡¿!
¨D¨D Ah¡
Also, when I was receiving Magical Yoga instruction in the world of ¡¾Vier¡¿.
I was desperately trying to hold in myughter, but I couldn¡¯t bear it, and again Tre¡¯ainar got angry and hit me with that.
Yes, I was already shown.
I received a hint.
Of a power that was even stronger than the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿.
And Tre¡¯ainar said I could do it.
Then I can do it.
I can!
¡°¡¾Super Great Magic Twin Spiraaaaaal¡¿!!¡±
¡°Oh~¡ Nwahahaha, there you go!¡±
It¡¯s as simple as that. If you can¡¯tpete using the current Great Magic Spiral, make it even bigger.
If one isn¡¯t enough, make two.
¡ºFuhahahahaha, my idea was for one, but¡ bybining the influence of ¡¾cebo Kiaida¡¿ with the magic of Kron, you can do two at the same time. Outstanding.¡»
Is this the right answer? Tre¡¯ainar wasughing.
And¡¡
¡°Amazing¡ so this is all you!¡±
¡°No¡ it¡¯s all of me and you!¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not ¡¡ me that can do anything, it¡¯s ¡¡ us!¡±
I was able to get to this point because of her¡
¡°Thank you. Because of you, I¡¯m one step closer to my ideal!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
We smiled at each other. And then we both look ahead at the same time.
What to do now. A huge wall was standing before us.
Let¡¯s smash it.
¡°Here we go, Kron!¡±
¡°Yes. This time, together!¡±
¡°And we¡¯ll show you, Vasr!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll carve you up!¡±
¡°Us!¡±
¡°Us!¡±
While in contact with Kron, I spun a huge spiral in both hands and roared.
And, the two of us screamed and showed off.
¡°¡¾Super Great Magic Twin Spiral ? Earth & Kron Spiral Breakstreeeeam¡¿!!!!¡±
It¡¯s all we have right now.
¡°Ha, Nuha ¡ Nuwahahahahahahahaha!! This is unexpected! Aah! Oooooh! My flesh and blood are dancing!¡±
And Vasr got ready to wee us with his most cheerful smile ever.
¡°Certainly¡¡ I feel it! Because you¡¯re his disciple? Because you¡¯re th¡¯ same? No need for such words, I surely feel my friend¡¯s presence in your life!¡±
¡ºTis only natural, my friend.¡»
¡°He¡¯s dead, but what he left behind is still here! Ooh, such excitement! I¡¯m surging! You¡¯ve piqued my interest!¡±
And Kron and I jumped in, with Tre¡¯ainar pushing our backs.
Chapter 189 – Bloodline of the Dragon
Chapter 189 - Bloodline of the Dragon
What Vasr wanted to see was not our strength, let alone victory or defeat.
In that sense, this is¡
¡°Well, that¡¯s fine. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.¡±
Smiling with satisfaction, Vasr acknowledged me and Kron.
We dove in hot and hit our attack hard.
In the end, I wasn¡¯t sure how powerful our attack was.
Because, we were surrounded by a dazzling sh of light, and when I noticed, Kron and I were lying on their backs.
I don¡¯t know if we were simply rebounded by Vasr¡¯s power.
However, we didn¡¯t seem to have been evaluated as useless.
¡°Gwahhahahahaha, you passed. I shall lend you some power, as thanks for numbing me.¡±
¡°Eh!!??¡±
When I heard those words, Kron and I both jerked our bodies up.
¡°Then, Vasr, will you take us?¡±
¡°Really, Vasr!¡±
¡°I said you passed. I¡¯m not so cheap at th¡¯ very least. So rest easy.¡±
The legendary Dragon King wasughing gaily, like a good-natured old man in the neighborhood.
¡°Kron!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°You did it!¡±
¡°We did it!¡±
Without thinking, Kron and I high-fived each other. Kron did this so naturally, even though I¡¯m sure she had never done anything like this before.
As he saw our resounding touch, Vasrughed again.
¡°Ouou, so immature~, so bittersweet~¡±
No, he really was just a neighborhood old man¡
¡°But now you want a contract with me, right? Er? Or with Kron, was it?¡±
¡°Huh? Hmm~¡ yesh¡¡±
That¡¯s it, a contract.
And I was getting nervous as I said it myself.
Because this is it, isn¡¯t it? Until a while ago, I was facing the legendary Dragon King of Hades as an opponent.
That legendary dragon will be my monster summon.
I was as excited as a kid.
But¡¡
¡°But, it¡¯s toote for me to get involved in th¡¯ struggles of th¡¯ world today¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°To be honest, I¡¯m quite content now.¡±
¡°Eh¡ eeeeeehh!¡±
That? Are things starting to get a little weird?
¡°Wait, wa, waaaaaiitaminit!? Eeeh??¡±
¡°Th¡¯ Seraph tribe is th¡¯ opponent¡ I enjoyed this, but with such dull opposition as that, how disappointing~¡±
Somehow, he seemed to have had enough, or perhaps he was satisfied with the fun he already had and any more would be redundant, so he put on a very questionable expression, as if to say a battle with the seraphs would be boring and would ruin his current mood.
¡°No, no, no, we had an agreement.¡±
¡°I know, calm down. That¡¯s why I¡¯m thinking. Uuuuunnn¡¡±
He¡¯s not changing the agreement. But, it¡¯s such a pain. He seemed to be thinking that way.
But, at this point his whim could leave us stumped.
At that moment, Vasr smiled as if something had shed.
¡°Oh, yesh! There¡¯s an adequate fellow!¡±
¡°Wh, what?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll have you make a contract with my son!¡±
It was an unexpected idea.
¡°Your, son?¡±
¡°Oh, you have a son, Vasr?¡±
¡º¡¡ Nu¡¡»
I didn¡¯t think the Dragon King had a son. Well, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if he did.
But Tre¡¯ainar looked somewhat doubtful¡
¡°Oh, yesh. But, because I had withdrawn myself from th¡¯ war between th¡¯ Demon Realm and th¡¯ Surface World, my son, regardless of that, was spoiled rotten as a result. Well, I think that being together with you will be a good stimulus for th¡¯d and lead to growth.¡±
¡°Eh¡ but you¡¯re going to sign a contract, right.¡±
¡°Nuwahahahahahaha, at first it was good, but¡¡ if you think about it carefully, with me on your side, all your future battles will be easy, so you won¡¯t be able to grow anymore now will you? As his disciple, if this is your goal, I don¡¯t mind, but ¡ it¡¯s not, is it?¡±
Vasr looks at me with a grin, as if testing me. It¡¯s like his expression was saying, ¡°You¡¯re not that kind of a fool, are you?¡±.
When he puts it like that, I want to say, ¡°Of course¡± but¡
¡ºHis son¡st I saw that one was, tis been many years¡ well, but for the time being, the bloodline of the Dragon King¡¡ sure enough¡¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be groaning a little bit about something¡ but still, a dragon is a dragon.
Moreover, an outrageous thoroughbred.
Then it¡¯s not a bad idea.
¡°Well, okay, then! So introduce us to your son, Vasr! Of course, this is not the goal. With the help of your son, I¡¯ll get closer to where you are!¡±
¡°Yes, Vasr! Please introduce your son!
Kron and I were not particrly opposed to Vasr¡¯s idea, so we agreed.
¡°Right then, let¡¯s summon him now! O?a?amo¨½ ?emo¨½ ?e?aia?u¡ Bloodline Forced Summon, ¡¾Ojaverka¡¿!¡±
Vasr¡¯s huge body was filled with overflowing magic power, and he recited a chant that we have never heard before.
Hearing that, I started to look forward to it again.
¡°Oh, even so¡ I¡¯m going to be a dragon knight from today¡ the master of the dragon with the blood of the Dragon King¡ a Dragon Rider¡¡ a Dragon Master¡¡ if I¡¯m going to have a title like that, I¡¯ll have to think of a name for myself¡ Great Demon Dragon King Knight ¡ or something like that.¡±
A hero astride a dragon. It really tickles this man¡¯s heart since childhood.
I¡¯m excited to think that I will be such a person from today.
And when Vasr, who finished chanting the spell, mmed his arm to the ground¡
¡°Unununununununu ¡ nununununu, isn¡¯t it quite ¡ hmm?¡±
Only half as big as Vasr, but it¡¯s still a huge body.
But, rather than gargantuan, it seems that there was a tremendous roundness of the body¡ What? A huge hippo?
Something round with scales the same color as Vasr¡ pulling, trembling, and crawling on all fours, it¡¯s ¡
¡°Well!? What are you doing, pop!? I was just having a great time picking flowers! ¡¡ I¡¯m at¡¡ Where am I?¡±
Horrible, it¡¯s somewhat bracing itself on the ground!?
The hippopotamus turned around, inting its big nose, the eyes were weak and it looked very annoyed.
Right now, a horrible scene!?
I mean, what¡¯s with this guy!?
¡ºMore rounded and obese¡ than when I was alive¡¡»
And the hippopotamus? At the sight, Tre¡¯ainar was holding his head, looking stupefied.
ts, no way¡
¡°This fellow is my son, ¡®Hidon¡¯.¡±
¡°Eh¡!? Yoyoyoyo, your sooooooon! Thaaaaaat!?¡±
¡°Ara~¡ he¡¯s so cute!¡±
I¡¯ve been fantasizing about this since I was a kid. The sinister gigantic Dragon King.
Seeing the existence of Vasr, which was no different from that delusion, I thought that would also fit the legendary dragon.
But this¡
¡°Hmm? What is it! Where are we? I mean, who are these people?¡±
Th, this ¡ this is ¡ this is ¡ that?
The image of the dragon in my head has shattered to pieces¡
¡°This is¡ the son of Vasr. Dragon King of Hades¡¡±
Is this really Vasr¡¯s son?
When I thought that, the hippopotamus that was crawling on all fours¡¡
¡°Unh~, you called me out of th¡¯ blue, but I¡¯ve never met you before! Quit bothering me already! Well, I know what you¡¯re going to say anyway!¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah?¡±
¡°Everyone says it! They look at me and say, ¡®Still, isn¡¯t he th¡¯ son of th¡¯ Dragon King¡¯!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Hmph, I¡¯m just me!¡±
When I heard that phrase, I wondered why ¡ I was surprised.
A hippopotamus with a very uncool appearance.
A dragon far from the dragon knight that a man once yearns for.
But why?
When I heard his words¡
¡°¡¡ my bad.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
I was bowing my head.
What is it? Unexpectedly, I thought that I might get along with this guy.
Author¡¯s Note
It is a report. The book release of this work ¡°Forbidden Master¡± is December 14.
Is there anyone that will pin this date?
Yes, on the day of 47 Ronin raid. Oishi, who was called ¡°Dunce,¡± ¡¡ Dunce, Dunce, and! Dunce!
¡°Everyone, buy the light novel ¡ this is a Raid!¡±
Chapter 190 – I Understand
Chapter 190 - I Understand
The hippopotamus¡¡ Hidon was puzzled when I bowed my head.
¡°How, admirable.¡±
¡ºI see¡ the reverse of congeneric repugnance¡ birds of the same feather¡ huh?¡»
Vasr and Tre¡¯ainar grinned at my attitude.
And¡¡
¡°Wow, it¡¯s another new dragon!¡±
¡°Huh? Oh¡¡¡±
Kron looked at a fat hippopotamus that didn¡¯t look like a dragon and said so with eyes gleaming with pure joy.
Hearing those words, Hidon¡
¡°Ah!? Who is thisdy?! You¡¯re too beautiful to be a girl!¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m so d! My name is Kron! How do you do!¡±
¡°G¡¯day to you! My name is Hi¡¡ Darkness Bahamut Grand Cross! Would you like toe for a walk in th¡¯ air with me?¡±
¡°Oh? Is this a date invitation? Ufufufu, aren¡¯t you aggressive.¡±
Looking at Kron, he clearly changed his attitude and was blushing red, and then hitting on her as if he were trying to seduce her¡ tte
¡°Hey, what¡¯s with that cool name? He said to call you Hidon.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ Ah¡¡±
¡°Hey, listen here.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
For the time being, I grabbed Hidon¡¯s shoulder to make him listen to me.
Then, the moment he saw me¡
¡°Hmm! What¡¯s with you, and such a scary face! I, I, I do something or what!¡±
¡°Calm down! You didn¡¯t do anything, listen to me!¡±
¡°Gya, I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m against violence, I¡¯m sorry for being cheeky!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be so scared of humans! You¡¯re still t - a ¡¡ a man!¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with men or women! Male and female should always be equal!¡±
Without thinking, I was about to say, ¡°You¡¯re still the son of the Dragon King?¡± but I stopped myself for a moment.
I know better than anyone how disgusting those words can be to someone.
And at the same time, I thought, ¡°I see.
I wonder if the people of the Imperial City were saying that about me like this.
¡°So, pop, who th¡¯ hell are these people!¡±
¡°Nuwahahahahaha, these are people who were able to entertain me. So, Hilua, why don¡¯t you go y with them?¡±
¡°¡¡ What¡¯s going on? y? Do you mean a race, or ¡?¡±
Hidon, who doesn¡¯t understand the situation he was summoned to, was restless.
To this guy, I pointed to the sky.
¡°I want you to take me and Kron to the top of that cloud.¡±
¡°Hmm? Cloud? Oh~, that big one¡ what¡¯s that?¡±
¡°There¡¯s a woman who was taken there and we¡¯re trying to go save her, but we don¡¯t have a way to get there, so we need your help.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh~¡ Save? It sounds quite dangerous¡ no way¡ are you going to fight someone or something?¡±
We will fight. In a way, a battle with the Seraph Tribe?
At least it¡¯s not for pleasure.
¡°Yeah ¡ I expect so¡¡±
¡°Hmm!?
I can¡¯t lie there. So I told the truth.
¡°Oh, such, aaaaaaah! N, no good! Th¡¯ world should be peaceful! Fighting is no good!¡±
And, sure enough, this guy trembled and refused with all his might.
I see. Certainly, it seemed that Vasr had spoiled him rotten.
And then¡¡
¡°No, Hilua. Lend them your back and strength!¡±
¡°Pop!?¡±
¡°That¡¯s an order. You will not be allowed to return until you have gone on a rampage.¡±
Without saying a word, Vasr tried to force Hidon to do as he said.
Hearing those words, Hidon trembled and cried out with teary eyes.
¡°What are you talking about, pop! That¡¯s terrible! I¡¯m not like you, pop! I have my own life! Just because I¡¯m th¡¯ son of th¡¯ Dragon King doesn¡¯t mean I like fighting!¡±
I can understand how he feels¡ Strangely enough.
Even though he was his father¡¯s child he was different from his father. Yes, I get that feeling.
¡°Oh? Your life? Oh, Hilua. Have you achieved much by yourself to say that?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°You eat, sleep, and sh*tzily every day¡ just eat, sleep, sh*t,zily, everyday¡ is that th¡¯ life you want to protect, even to disobey me, your father, Hilua?¡±
¡°That¡ that¡¯s ¡ because¡¡ziness is th¡¯ best evidence of peace¡ even you arezily messing around too, pop!¡±
¡°So. I¡¯m fine with it, because I¡¯ve been through so much and arrived at this point.¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯m fine with that too! Unlike pop, I took shortcuts to get to where I am now!¡±
Yeah, I get it. Somehow, when my father tries to force me to do something, I get really pissed off and want to rebel.
And¡¡
¡°Um, Mr. Hidon, can¡¯t you help?¡±
¡°Fuhe?¡±
¡°My¡¡ there¡¯s a loved one of mine up there¡ it may be a bother or even dangerous for you¡ but¡ at least to take us to the top of the clouds¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
And at such times, when a beautiful woman touches you and asks you to do something like this¡
¡°H, hey,dy¡¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°D, do, don¡¯t you feel anything about touching me?¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Yesh, because I¡¯m¡ th¡¯ female dragons say I¡¯m fat and not cool¡ everyone wonders if I¡¯m still th¡¯ son of the Dragon King¡¡±
¡°Not cool? Aren¡¯t you really cute?¡±
¡°Hmm!?¡±
Even more so, if you were told that you were cute while your head was being patted¡
¡°Forget th¡¯ clouds! I¡¯ll carry you to th¡¯ other side of th¡¯ heavens!¡±
This is what happens!
¡°I understaaaaaand, I get, you, I understaaaaaand!¡±
¡°Ahhh, what¡¯s wrong with you, big guy!¡±
¡°From today, we¡¯re partners!¡±
¡°Eeeeeeh, don¡¯t want that? Why? I just want to help th¡¯dy, it¡¯s has nothing to do with you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, when you have a parent who¡¯s too good, you¡¯ll suffer from such a parent and their ego!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°And I¡¯m really weak against women¡ that¡¯s right.¡±
¡°Laddie?¡±
Somehow, I couldn¡¯t help but put my arm around Hidon¡¯s neck and burst into tears.
¡ºAt any rate¡ we now have a means to act upon, but¡ well¡¡ will this one be useful as battle potential?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar still had a somewhat doubtful expression, but still we¡¯re ready to fly above the clouds.
Author¡¯s Note
I thought that I had talked about 47 Ronin yesterday, but I suddenly decided to go to Edo this weekend.
I won¡¯t make you raid, but if I don¡¯t post tomorrow, forgive me.
Chapter 191 – Let’s Fight
Chapter 191 - Let¡¯s Fight
With Kron and I away, everyone was waiting for us to return, worried about us.
¡°They¡¯re back!¡±
¡°Older Brother! Goddess!¡±
¡°Inya, thank goodness! We were worried ab¡ out ¡ ueh?¡±
¡°Little m¡ heh?¡±
Kron and I returned to the ruined town while making a rumbling sound.
At first, everyone seemed to smile with relief, but the next moment, everyone¡¯s smile froze.
¡°E, erm¡¡ what is that? That thing.¡±
¡°Oh¡ Ooouuuuh!¡±
¡°Wh, wh, wha, what did you do? Th, at ¡¡±
¡°Something¡ amazing¡¡±
It¡¯s only natural that everyone¡¯s eyes are on this guy.
With Kron and I on his back, the colossus walked on four legs.
¡°Hold oooooooo. Wh, wh, wh, what the heck?¡±
¡°H, h, h, huge!¡±
¡°I, is that¡ a monster?¡±
¡°It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve looked up at someone¡¡ bigger than me.¡±
Even the contestants and the mighty men of the dojo are stunned.
Including Mr. Machio.
No wonder. For those who have always resided in this isted country, this is probably the first time they have ever encountered such arge creature.
Even I, who had been living in the Imperial City, have never seen anything like it.
¡°Hmm ¡ somehow ¡ being watched, it¡¯s embarrassing, Kro!¡±¡±
¡°Ufufufu, that¡¯s right~, everyone is surprised to see you, Hilly!¡±
¡°I¡¯m kind of shy.¡±
Perhaps anxious about the gazes around him, Hilua mumbled shyly with such a big figure.
Incidentally, Kron, who was already acting very familiar, has be friends with him, even calling each other ¡°Kro¡± and ¡°Hilly¡±.
And¡¡
¡°Amazing, so big!¡±
While everyone was overwhelmed by Hilua, Amae ran up to him with her eyes shining first.
¡°Goddess, who is this? Unfu~ cuddle~?¡±
¡°Hiya, hiya~, w, wh, who is, this child¡ sh, she¡¯s so cute~.¡±
There was no fear at all, and Amae jumped at Hilua¡¯s face, which was at a lower position due to walking on four legs, and rubbed her cheek against his.
¡°Ufufufu, Amae, this one is Hilly!¡±
¡°Hilly?¡±
¡°Yes, he¡¯s a reliablepanion who will take us to the top of that cloud!¡±
Tsukshi and the others were startled at those words.
¡°Eh!? Goddess, that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Yes! Riding on Hilly, Earth and I can go all the way to the clouds and save Jamdi¡¯el!¡±
¡°Eh, eeeeeeeeeh! Th, th, that!?
Unlike Amae, the situation wasn¡¯t immediately epted and the people around him remained confused, but with that one word from Kron, everyone¡¯s expression changed.
¡°Hmm, Hilly? Is your name Hilly? ¡°
¡°Yesh, that¡¯s right. What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Amae is called Amae. Nfu~, Hilly, squishy~ ¡°
¡°Hiya~, Amae is also squishy! For th¡¯ first time in my life, I¡¯m d I¡¯m squishy! I mean, th¡¯ girls on th¡¯ Surface are so kind! I¡¯m going to live on th¡¯ Surface world from now on!¡±
Following Kron, this reaction to Amae. I guess he¡¯s had bad luck with women, or rather females, his whole life, even though he had been panicking until just a while ago, he even dered that he would live on the Surface.
Really, this guy is just¡
¡°So, Little man¡ what is this?¡±
Sadiz, who had a subtle expression when she saw Hilua, asked me. Well, this is a normal reaction.
¡°It¡¯s a bit of summoning magic.¡±
¡°¡¡ is that a winged hippopotamus?¡±
¡°A winged hippopotamus, and an amusingrade.¡±
I didn¡¯t say, ¡°Hilua is the son of the Dragon King of Hades¡±.
It¡¯s not that I¡¯m keeping it a secret.
But I thought that title was unnecessary.
¡°Is it summoning magic¡ and so big¡¡ but will it be okay? It seems to understand humannguage¡ it¡¯s big, but¡¡ doesn¡¯t seem very strong¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. I asked him to take us to the top of that cloud that we alone can¡¯t reach. From there, it¡¯s our job to fight.
¡°Little man¡¡±
He¡¯ll take us to the top of that cloud. That¡¯s enough.
Without him, none of our fists, spirals, or magic would reach that cloud.
But thanks to this guy joining us, our power can reach it.
And that¡¯s enough.
Also¡¡
¡°Goddess¡±
¡°Machio¡¡±
¡°Now, on this creature, Earth and the Goddess are going to¡¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s the n.¡±
¡°Eh!?
Assuming that Hilua is good for the time being, what should we do from now on?
The eyebrows of Mr. Machio and the others wavered at Kron¡¯s words.
¡°Everyone, we don¡¯t really know who Jamdi¡¯el, our High Priestess, actually was, or those who came from above that cloud. And most of all, I¡¯ve been called Goddess, but I wonder who I really am.¡±
I guess this was Kron¡¯s way of showing concern.
Until now, Kron and Jamdi¡¯el had been treated as a High Priestess and Goddess by the people of this country.
But, after the arrival of the Seraph tribe, they had no idea what their true identity was.
Kron¡¯s concern was to keep everyone from getting involved in such an unknown background.
Me? I¡¯m fine with it.
But everyone else is different. Kron even wondered if she might have been deceiving everyone.
That¡¯s why she was saying this.
But I think¡
Maybe for the people of this country, it¡¯s¡
¡°¡±¡±Why so reserved? I decide for myself what to believe!¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
Yeah! I knew they would say that.
Kron seemed to have been taken aback by the words uttered without hesitation.
Mr. Machio told Kron on their behalf.
¡°Goddess¡¡ no, Lady Kron. You¡¯re mistaken on only one thing.¡±¡±
¡°Machio?¡±
¡°The High Priestess, our master,,,. we¡¯re not fighting because we think that it¡¯s our duty to help her.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°No matter what your background, that existence saved us and made us strong. Some may have been sacrificed by the High Priestess¡¯ underhanded intentions¡ like the young man called Jos¨¦ and people of the old regime¡ so, not all of them, but¡ at least the men here don¡¯t fight because they have to help. We fight because ¡®we want to help¡¯.¡±
Right. Even if Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s past was a great sinner, who the Seraph tribe and the human race of the world find unpardonable, still to the people of this country¡
¡°Hey, Machio? What do you mean by men? Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s sexist?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! At least there are women here who feel the same way!¡±
¡°Un!¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi, Karui and Amae are the same. The church sisters too.
So, everyone¡¯s mind was already made up.
¡°Everyone ¡ will you all ¡ fight with me?¡±
I pated Kron¡¯s back lightly at her confused mutter.
¡°That¡¯s not right, Kron.
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Will you fight with me? No. Mr. Machio said it, didn¡¯t he? Everyone will because they want to.¡±
So, what you should say in a situation like this is¡¡
¡°¡¡ I see!¡±
Then Kron understood the meaning of my words and firmly thrust up her little fist.
¡°Everyone! Let¡¯s fight together!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!!¡±¡±¡±
A woman called a Goddess, and also called a doll by the enemy, finally decided to lead everyone by her own will and fight with everyone side by side.
I¡¯ll do my best to support her back.
¡°Naaaaaaaaaaah, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but I¡¯ll do my best too!¡±
¡°Um, I¡¯m counting on you, my newrade, Hilly!¡±
¡°Ou, give us a lift!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s do it, Hilly!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a drink next time, Hilly!¡±
And now we, who had been left unattended, began our counterattack against Heaven.
Chapter 192 – Raid
Chapter 192 - Raid
I¡¯ve got the means to fly. All that¡¯s left is to get on board once we¡¯re done preparing.
¡°This is the biggest fishing boat in town. It can hold dozens of people!¡±
This country is isted from the rest of the world, but it is possible to go out to the sea, as long as there is ess to the coast. That¡¯s why they eat fish.
Therefore, they have sufficient boats.
And, to get to the top of the cloud, we need a big fishing boat.
¡°You see? Thes and ropes will hold things firmly in ce! Hilly, can you hold it properly?¡±
¡°Hmm? It¡¯s a wee bit heavy.¡±
¡°It¡¯s guts! Guts!
By attaching ropes to the fishing boat and having Hilua carry it like a backpack, anyone who wanted to join us, except me and Kron, could get on board to participate in the battle.
¡°Tsukshi¡¡ you guys¡¡±
¡°Machio, of course I¡¯m going too!¡±
¡°And me! That¡¯s why you¡¯re staying here, Amae.¡±
¡°Uh~¡!
¡°We can¡¯t be too careful! Remember that prince or whatever!
¡°I¡¯ll smash that ass!¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯ll show you how the range in my crotch is like the mountain and the ground!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s strike hard and fast!¡±
Well, we¡¯ll see what happens¡ either way, it¡¯s going to be tough.¡±
The participants were mainly tournament contestants, with Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui also riding along.
However, I¡¯m worried that all the very skilled people wille along¡
¡°Mortriage. While we¡¯re gone, you¡¯re in charge, right?¡±
¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll take care of it. So, Earth, go raise some hell!¡±
¡°Oraa! Leave the reconstruction to us!¡±
¡°I¡¯m going to work too!¡±
¡°Be careful.¡±
I decided to leave it to these guys.
Actually, I wanted to leave the caretaker role to ¡°her¡±, but¡
¡°Are you sure? Sadiz.¡±
¡°Yes. Regardless of the past, I owe her for the food, clothing, and shelter she provided me in the past three months. So¡¡ I¡¯ll join you.¡±
In fact, Sadiz was going to return to the Imperial City and report this to father and mother, but in the end she chose to raid with us.
Although Sadiz once lost everything to the Demon King army, she intends to fulfill the minimum obligation.
And above all¡¡
¡°If only a little, I want to be helpful to Little man.¡±
¡°Geez¡ I¡¯ve already graduated from¡¡±
¡°Still, for me, I will always love Little man.¡±
After all, it¡¯s for me. She¡¯s as sweet on me as ever.
However, as long as we still don¡¯t know how strong the opponent is, it¡¯s reliable to have here with us.
¡°Ms. Sadiz! Take care of this too, please! I¡¯ve brought all the swords, spears, and crossbows I can find! As a martial artist, I don¡¯t really want to use these sorts of things. I also brought some barbells!¡±
¡°Oh, thank you for your hard work. However, as long as the number of opponents is unknown, let¡¯s bring as many things as we can use. I will store them into my extra space, so it¡¯s okay.¡±
¡°Please take my weapons as well, aye. Weaponry is my specialty aye.¡±
And with the magic of Sadiz, it¡¯s easy to carry any luggage.
In case something happens, we should take as many usable weapons as we can, so everyone brought their weapons to Sadiz with a DonDon.
The preparations are done.
Finally¡¡
¡°¡¡ Older brother¡¡±
¡°Oh? Amae ¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hugh¡¡±
Then, it was time.
Of course, Amae had to stay behind for this.
She clung to my leg with a sad expression.
¡°¡¡ Uh¡ Gusu¡¡±
Even though other sisters were there, the ones she was closest to, Elder sis Tsukshi, Karui, Kron and Mr. Machio were all going with me.
It¡¯s not surprising that Amae, who was left behind, would be heartbroken and on the verge of tears.
¡°Goforit¡ fighton¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
No. It¡¯s different. Amae clung to me once, but quickly pulled away¡
¡°Youcandoit, Older brother, big sisters, uncle! Everyone! You Can Do It Fiiiiight Ooooon!¡±
She gave me a shout, not words of selfishness or anxiety.
¡°You too, Hilly! Fight on! Do your best, fight on!¡±
¡°Hmm!?¡±
And everyone in the town who saw Amae also raised their voices all at once.
¡°Yes, good luck, guys! Hang in there!¡±
¡°Knock down the ones who did this to our town!¡±
¡°Please save the High Priestess!¡±
¡°Yes, take them all doooooooown!¡±
¡°Uoooooooh, goooooooooo! Arcane True Zenith Huzaaaaaaaaah!¡±
Strong cheers that made me shiver.
Well, we¡¯re already fired up.
As proof, we all had the same smile, regardless of man, woman or race.
¡°What do you think? Kron?¡±
¡°Yes¡ so passionate.¡±
¡°Right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s giving me strength.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it.¡±
¡°Not only are we fighting together, but ¡¡ we¡¯re fighting for each other, right?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
Kron, who was an innocent girl, looked thrilled about something.
It seemed quite effective.
¡°Uh~~~~, Tyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!¡±
Kron thrust her fist up and raised the loudest voice in her own way.
¡°Goddess¡¡ uuuuuuuuuh, let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Ousha, I¡¯ll do it too! Watch me, Amae!
¡°Then I¡¯ll do the same¡¡ funyaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!¡±
¡°Oh, the rare war-cry of Machio¡ kuh, uoooooooooohh!¡±
¡°Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh!
¡°Nuh, me toooooooooooooooooooo!¡±
Kron, everybody¡ followed her.
¡°Little man!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
And then, everything was ready.
¡°All right, Kron. The timing to strengthen everyone with the magic of the Daybreak eye¡¡ I¡¯ll tell you when.¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll leave it to Earth.¡±
¡°Leave it to me. Just like a ¡®god¡¯, I¡¯ll indicate the best possible timing. And to everyone else, too! I may be cocky, but I¡¯ll give some instructions to everyone! So listen up, will you?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±I will follow the strongest man in this country, the tournament champion!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
So, I¡¯m counting on you, okay? Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºEntrust this to me. Huhahahaha, I feel like themander of a single corps, although theyck the numbers to be an army, Fuhahahaha.¡»
¡¸Troublesome?¡¹
¡ºIndeed, tis troublesome. As such, let us end it promptly, shall we? Child.¡»
Oh, what a devilish smile.
It is truly the Great Demon King. This is also reliable.
Yes, in the fight against Jamdi¡¯el, he defeated her in a two-on-one match by directing my actions.
This time, Tre¡¯ainar will be like a strategist, giving orders through me.
¡°Well, everyone, we are already prepared! I hope you¡¯re ready too!!
¡°¡±¡±¡±UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°We will, by our own will, take back what is precious to us! God will bless us in our resolve!¡±
Well, I¡¯m sure your God is here.
¡°After all?¡±
¡ºSuch nuisance.¡»
Even though he was the Demon King, he seemed unustomed to being treated as a god.
Iughed at Tre¡¯ainar and heard Kron¡¯s order.
¡°Come on, that heaven¡ erm¡¡ what was it¡ raid? That¡¯s it! Let¡¯s go for it!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
They cried out in unison, with enthusiasm.
¡°Well, Hilly! Please!¡±
¡°Naah~, just hang oooooooooon! Fugu, Fubununun, nugu, unuunooooooooooooooon!¡±
His face turned so red that his blood vessels floated out, and his whole body, which was once so pudgy, condensed with power as he carried the fishing boat we rode on¡
¡± I¡¯ll do iiiiiiiiiiiiit, let¡¯s goooooooooo!!!!¡±
It¡¯s Hilua¡¯s willpower. His guts. With the great physical power of the fire field, Hirua flew us on his back with great spirit.
Author¡¯s Note
Everyone, thank you very much for your continuous support.
I have a report today, and I will write it here.
I think I¡¯ve previously reported to you that I had a child.
There was a continuation about the matter.
Recently, the cover of the child in the womb who has not yet been born¡ I was able to see his face, and I was grinning like an idiot parent, but I was told a new shocking fact¡
It turned out that the child will be born as a ¡°twin¡±.
It is not yet decided when the child will be born in this world, but it seems to be certain.
This is my first experience and I am quite puzzled.
Naturally, the responsibility as a parent is also doubled.
Is it really all right for me like this? Isn¡¯t there any pitfall?
Recently, I haven¡¯t been able to properly do my body painting due to pressure, so it is difficult to go outside every day.
However, I thought that I could not be worried forever, so I decided to report on that today.
The first child born is ¡°Novelization¡±. I would like to name the child who is born after a little time ¡°Comicalization¡± and do my best to be a splendid parent in the future.
Both parent and children look forward to your continued support, thank you!
For the time being, if nothing happens, the cover of the child who will be born soon this weekend¡¡ I¡¯m going to show you their face! The hot face of the master and disciple!
Just letting you know I recently tranted a short story written by the Author of this work. A little hrious tale which also features a ghost. Have a read andment please¡
Chapter 193 – Party of Three
Chapter 193 - Party of Three
I¡¯ve done ¡°battle¡± before.
Simted battle at the academy. The Graduation Commemorative match. Ninja warriors. Shinobu. Mr. Aka. Toulowe. Bro. And the tournament during this time. Jamdi¡¯el.
However, this was my first group vs. group battle.
It¡¯s not to the scale which can be called war.
But, if we¡¯re challenging the Kingdom of the Heavens, can we call it a war in a sense?
As we approached the sky, I began to feel a strange sense of tension.
¡ºChild. Savor that tension while you can. However, control your emotions so as not to lose sight of yourself in the excitement of battle.¡»
¡°Everyone, you should feel this tension for now. But control your emotions so that you don¡¯t lose yourself in the excitement of battle.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oooh, that sounds like great advice!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡ºNo, that right now was just for you, not everyone.¡»
¡°No, I was talking just to you right now, not to everyone¡¡ eh? What was that?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Huh?¡±¡±¡±¡±
I was so nervous that I just gave Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s advice as an instruction to everyone.
I mean, am I feeling excited or uneasy?
¡°Little man¡¡±
¡°Earth, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Yes, I have to watch myself.
However, don¡¯t get too excited¡ it¡¯s quite difficult.
¡ºFor the time being, child. Tis a situation where battle could break out at any time. Inform everyone about the formation of 3 man parties.¡»
¡°Oh, oh, that¡¯s right.¡±
Although Tre¡¯ainar will take care of the strategy andmand, if something happens to me and my voice does not reach everyone, themand will be lost at that point.
That¡¯s a lot of pressure.
¡°In the meantime, I want you all to form groups of three for now. Don¡¯t fight on your own, but fight together to watch each other¡¯s backs.¡±
For the time being, I¡¯ll tell them the basic battle formation.
Tre¡¯ainar says it is simple.
¡°Let¡¯s protect each other¡¯s backs¡ I see. Tsukshi, Karui¡±
¡°Yes, me, Machio and Karui are a set?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t rush out alone, cover each other?¡±
¡°Gotcha!¡±
¡°Danchok!¡±
¡°Cooperation¡ I¡¯d rather fight fair and square, one-on-one¡¡±
¡°That kind of talk is no good. I¡¯ll use any foul y, any move. Oh, team up with me. I¡¯ll teach you that.¡±
To be clear, we are not a trained army, so we cannot doplex coordinated attacks and formations, that¡¯s why I¡¯ll give the bare minimum of rules.
¡°This is the basic three-man cell, also called the three arrows. If one person does not jump out suddenly, and three people cover each other, the party won¡¯t be beaten so easily. And when attacking, all three should attack at once, like a storm!¡±
¡ºUm! Actually, this coordinated attack was unsessfully attempted by Bro¡¯s prefects in the city of Cantidan. An integrated technique where three people attack like a storm. Tis called the Great Demon¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oh, no way, the legendary trinity technique of the Arcane True Zenith¡ ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Jet Stream¡¿!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone epted Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions through me easily.
Honestly, I¡¯m grateful.
At any rate, I didn¡¯t want everyone to just go off on their own and destroy themselves.
And if it¡¯s a party of three, then me¡
¡°Sadiz, and Kron.¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯m on the same team as Earth.¡±
¡°Yes, Little man.¡±
I¡¯ll be with Kron, and Sadiz¡
¡°It will not be a three-man cell, but I¡¯m left over, so I want to be added to your group, aye, Earth.¡±
At that time, there was a man who wanted to be with us because he was an extra after the three person groups were assembled.
¡°Wacha¡¡±
¡°Besides, Sadiz is carrying my weapons, so I¡¯d appreciate it if I was nearby, aye.¡±
Wacha called out as if saying ¡°Let me join you¡±.
Well, that¡¯s not a problem, he¡¯s a good fighter, and since Kron is one of the keys in this battle, there¡¯s a way to fight and protect Kron by surrounding her with me, Sadiz, and Wacha.
Even if he was thinking about a different agenda, it doesn¡¯t seem like he¡¯s lying about trying to save Jamdi¡¯el right now.
¡°What¡¯s up, aye? Don¡¯t you trust me, aye?¡±
Wacha, who seems to have guessed what I was thinking, asked with a smile.
Wacha himself seems to be aware that ¡°I thought that there was an agenda¡±.
But even so, by suggesting this to me, on the contrary, is he showing that he has nothing to hide right now?
¡ºWorry not, child, join up.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºAs you anticipated, so long as Kron, whocks highbat ability other than her magic eye, is present, you and the maid will have to fight while protecting her, but if he joins with you, the burden will be lessened somewhat.¡»
¡¸¡¡ That¡¯s right, but¡¡ is it okay?¡¹
¡ºRest assured. Certainly, the man has his own circumstances. However, he will not betray you until Jamdi¡¯el is saved. Otherwise, he would note this far.¡»
For the time being, Tre¡¯ainar was saying that, and it will be alright.
¡°Well, fine. I trust you for now. As arade I¡¯ve traded blows with.¡±
¡°Hahahaha, I want to learn how to be so open-minded at such a young age¡±
¡°Well! It¡¯s encouraging to have Wacha with us! Thank you!¡±
¡°¡¡ Well¡¡ if Little man says so¡¡±
With that said, I trusted Wacha ¡°for now¡± and firmly bumped his fists.
Wacha smiled and took out weapons from the back and sleeves of his clothes as if to say he was ready for battle.
¡°Fufufu, the battle to rescue the High Priestess¡ it may be unscrupulous of me, but I¡¯m excited about the situation where I can show off my skills to the fullest, aye.¡±
¡°Ah? What are you talking about? Didn¡¯t you put out your skills to the fullest in our fight?¡±
¡°Certainly, with my bare hands¡ that is¡±
Wacha took out weapons while saying something with implications.
They were all unusual and unfamiliar weapons.
¡ºHoh~¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also looking at them with a kind of admiration. That is¡¡
¡°What are all these weapons?¡±
¡°Hmm? This aye? Three-section staff¡ tonfa¡ iron fan¡ nunchucks, sais, poison chain studs¡ shuriken¡¡±
¡°H, hey, how many weapons do you have hidden? I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡±
¡°Hahaha, there¡¯s still a lot more aye, Sadiz is holding all the weapons that were in my home.¡±
Wacha talked to me with confidence.
He¡¯s livelier than he was at the tournament.
As if saying his true specialty is ¡°weaponry, not bare hands¡±.
But before confirming that¡
¡°Nooooooh, hey, s, somethinges from behind th¡¯ clouds!¡±
Hilua screamed in a panic.
When we heard that voice, we looked up, and as we did the other day, armed valkyries with white wings pping from the other side of the clouds appeared.
At that moment, I was suddenly fussed about wacha and tension.
¡°Right away, theye out in the open! This time, we¡¯re not going to just take your attacks!¡±
I clenched my fist, and my fighting spirit red up.

Fuhahahahaha, you¡¯ve let your guard down! The ban on the appearance of my children has been lifted!
Chapter 194 – Intermission (Prince)
Chapter 194 - Intermission (Prince)
It¡¯s so bright. Morning hase already.
I raise myself up from the bed feeling a slight chill, and looking next to me, breathing in her sleep, is a little bird that I took good care ofst night.
Is thou tired? Thy sleep is deep. I¡¯d like to continue taking care of her in the morning, but with my position, that cannot happen.
Today, I¡¯m going to have another morning training session with those cute girls.
A few days ago, we fell short in our first campaign due to Daddy¡¯s interruption.
Most certainly, we were to fly around to the surface in a dignified and beautiful manner.
But that would not be.
The great sinner, Jamdi¡¯el, surrendered of his own volition.
Though we charged the surface in high spirits, there was not so much a battle, just a little skirmish ¡ also¡¡
¡°The scar on my cheek is gone¡¡±
I just had a little altercation with that sharp-eyed little boy.
Nay, nary did we even fight each other.
However, thatd, by that little altercation, left a wound on my cheek.
Surprisingly, despite my Heraldic eye, there exists someone on the surface who could do such a thing.
Above all, Jamdi¡¯el quietly surrendered as she herself was already exhausted.
That boy drove her to such a state.
What if I were to fight against him at his best?
I feel a ting of fear, yet at the same time my body is hot and aching.
Never in my life have I felt such a thing.
I wonder what it is¡ this feeling¡
¡°Fufufufu, well, this cute little bird¡ should still remain in bed. Thy chirps were quite loud yesterday.¡±
Dressed up, I softly left the chamber so the little bird may remain in slumber.
Then there¡
¡°My Prince¡ Good morning.¡±
Slightly grumpy with pouting faces, my cute little birds await me already.
¡°H, hey, is something wrong?¡±
¡°¡¡ Not especially¡¡ the prince is exhausting himself every night.¡±
¡°Ah¡ ahaha. I also find that pouty expression cute. Could it be jealousy?¡±
¡°Hau~, prince¡¡±
The day after I take in a little bird, everyone ends up like this.
But with a little smile, they quickly turn red and distraught.
Oh my, they¡¯re just so adorable¡
¡°Well, to training we go. Things did not end well a few days ago, but we know not when all-out war with the surface will begin.¡±
However, peaceful times are not indefinite.
By the will of the newly enthroned king of the Heavenly Kingdom, we, the Seraph tribe, shall go forth to capture the hegemony of the world.
War. An unknown that our generation has only heard of in tales.
In all honesty, I would have been happy to spend every day peacefully, ying with my birds, but I also wanted a ce where I could show the strength I have trained and nurtured.
War evokes in me a feeling of half tension and half joy, and everyone, including myself, is full of enthusiasm these days.
And it¡¯s all because of ¡°that man¡±¡
¡°Prince, before we train, there is a request to talk to Jamdi¡¯el¡ from ¡®that man¡¯.¡±
¡°¡¡ what?¡±
¡°His Majesty will allow it, should the prince apany him¡
¡°¡¡ is that so? I see. Summon him then. I shall go to the dungeon as well.¡±
I met ¡°that man¡± a few years ago.
He brought everything to our world.
¡°My Prince! Please be careful. Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s hands and feet are bound, and her eyes sealed, but we know not what she might do. In earnest¡¡±
¡°I know.¡±
¡°And that man as well, I¡ I don¡¯t really know much of him¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, certainly he¡¯s entertaining, but he can¡¯t be trusted. So thou need not worry about me, okay? I won¡¯t bring sorrow to thee.¡±
¡°Hau~¡±
Long ago, the Heavenly Realm suffered great damage by the betrayal of Jamdi¡¯el and quietly watched the conflicts of the Surface World without interfering.
We, the apostles of God, refused to get involved in the trivial conflicts of the unholy surface.
However, we were asserted as, ¡°frightened and withdrawn¡±.
And his words and existence eventually brought a great change to this country, this world, and the Seraph tribe.
Now, even he is hopeful for a full-scale confrontation with the surface¡
¡°Fufufu¡¡ I feel like I¡¯m dancing on the palm of his hand ¡ at any rate¡¡ the end of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s execution is the beginning of everything. And with my achievements in the war¡ Daddy should acknowledge me¡¡±
And that is what I desire.
Even if loved by tens of thousands of little birds¡ discourteous it may, they¡¯re all but mere diversions¡ I want approval¡ from only one person.
That hasn¡¯t changed since the days of my childhood¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡¡ is it set, the day of my execution?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
A voice sounded from beyond the darkness as we marched along the dark gallery leading to the dungeon cells.
I suddenly felt goose bumps all over my body.
¡°Eh¡¡±
Sweat on my back? Also on my hands? Just for the moment, did I get pressured?
¡°This presence¡ is that the prince?¡±
She is confined to a cell where magick is sealed by applying multiple magick forms, both hands and feet are tightly bound, and both eyes are also blindfolded so that they cannot be seen.
Even though she¡¯s literally helpless to do anything, by just hearing her voice¡
¡°Fufufu, nay, just to check on thee¡ and someone here wishes to see thee.¡±
I feignposure to keep her from perceiving my agitation, how pathetic, of me.
Now, Jamdi¡¯el has recovered both magick power and physical strength.
What if, by some happenstance, she leaves this dungeon?
I was unaware a few days ago, but looking at her in such a recovered state, I now understand much more.
She is powerful¡
¡°Hey, art thou keeping to thy promise?¡±
¡°Promise?¡±
¡°About Lady Kron.¡±
However, she also has a weakness¡ surprisingly, there is something she would protect even at the cost of her own life.
Yes, she is not in this dungeon due to our ability.
I merely made an arrangement with her as she was exhausted.
¡°Fear not. I haven¡¯t touched the ind country since then.¡±
¡°Then, it matters not. Why not just put me to death?¡±
¡°W, wait, a personage of thy caliber. There is quite a bit of formality involved.¡±
¡°Hmph, at most thou art preparing a stunt for ¡®Dekte¡¯ita¡¯ to disy his power, I suppose.¡±
With that said, Jamdi¡¯el is sneering at Daddy. I heard that they are of the same generation, but ¡ could there be something else?
¡°Hey, do tell thy father.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Thou may wage thy selfish war, but¡ thou will nevery im to the Surface World or the Demon Realm.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not so na?ve. Hence why I¡¯ve been in hiding for thest 15 years, until I was ready.¡±
The unexpected words from Jamdi¡¯el, said with such a presence and power, left me astonished.
¡°That¡ thou mean those so-called Heroes of the surface¡ or the remnants of the Demon King¡¯s army?¡±
¡°¡¡ It¡¯s vexing, but¡ at the least ¡®Hero Hiro¡¯ is stronger than I. ¡®La¡¯iphant¡¯ will not stand for it either¡¡±
¡°Heh¡±
¡°So execute me, and raise the morale of the Seraph tribe by the rapture of having eliminated the stain on their history¡ but that will be thy peak.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Thouprehend nothing. Thou ignorant wretches who forever only revere phantom gods such as Odin, the world will never yield to thee.¡±
¡°¡¡ If so, Tre¡¯ainar, who died 15 years ago, is God¡ thou mean?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
Inadvertently, I pulled away slightly.
¡°Wretch, thou dare¡¡ to so frivolously utter his name.¡±
I pulled away just by the words of Jamdi¡¯el, who was in a situation where she could not do anything.
Oh no¡ getting swallowed¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Whoa, I give I give. We had a fun party yesterday~, I¡¯mte cuz of a hangover.¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±
¡°When I woke up, my head ached, my stomach hurt, and I fought a battle in thevatory¡ and whoa~, was that a fight. Hihahaha¡±
Oh¡
¡°Hiya, prince. G¡¯mornin. Sorry sorry I¡¯mte~¡±
He appeared, and in an instant, shattered into pieces terrible air that I was about to be swallowed up by.
¡°Even so, you can¡¯t go bullying the youngins like that~? Ain¡¯t he your junior? Right? Sis Jamdi¡¯el~¡±
¡°¡¡ wh¡ eh? Wha, ha? Wh, what is¡¡±
¡°Aha! Sis Jamdi¡¯el, all tied up~ so incredibly precious. Cuz usually, she would the one to tie em up with a rope and strike em with a whip~, this gap is in?tri?guing~
¡°¡ ri¡ ridiculous¡ ridiculous.
¡°Anyway, it¡¯s been too long¡±.
¡°Eh!?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, whom I¡¯ve been overwhelmed by, as if beneath him¡ nay, as if in mockery, the man emerged with a smirk on his face.
At the presence, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s state was clearly abnormal.
¡°Th¡¡ thou. It can¡¯t be¡¡±
¡°Oh, even blind you can tell? You know it¡¯s me? Naturally, you¡¯ve known me for a long time, right? It¡¯s been, what, 18 years?¡±
¡°End¡ thy jest¡ by just thy voice? Even if I can¡¯t see thy figure, or hear thy voice¡ just by this unseemly air¡ thou¡ still live?¡±
For Jamdi¡¯el, he was apparently unexpected.
I had heard about their rtionship before. Even so, it¡¯s unlike Jamdi¡¯el to get so upset¡ after all, he¡
¡°Priiiince! How dreadful, Prince! Quickly, pleasee ¡¡ right away!¡±
¡°Eh, ah, huh?¡±
I was so surprised. All of a sudden, my subordinate¡¯s daughter rushed in with a loud yell¡ what the hell is going on?
¡°F, from the surface¡ a huge, ugly creature approaches this country, carrying surface people with it!¡±
¡°Wh¡ at?¡±
This also was a totally unexpected event for me.
And, above all, the history of this world will change drastically today.

Everyone¡¯s favorite Fu Meday. Rebal. And Sadiz! Ph¡¡ Phi¡ the Princess! And both his father and mother have a wonderful picture! The illustrations are also amazing. A picture of a Master and Disciple who are friends¡ maybe that special move¡?
Chapter 195 – Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ?
Chapter 195 - Intermission (Dark Valkyrie) ¢Ü
Well, I never¡ surely not¡ he lives? This man!
However, surely he died over ten years ago.
A pretender? Yet, this ugly air¡¡ this voice that evokes murderous intent just by hearing it¡¡
¡°tte¡ an attack? On this Ang Kingdom?¡±
¡°Yes! Currently, the ¡®men¡¯ of the Guardian Angel Squad are heading to battle, but the enemy is unknown! We are in a state of emergency¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°All right, let¡¯s move out at once!¡±
Also, what¡¯s happening? Attack? Ugly creature?
I don¡¯t understand. What in the heavens is happening?
¡°Ah, that¡¯s why youngins~ ¡ are hopeless, leaving me behind¡ ain¡¯t nothing else to do. Now¡¡ then.¡±
Then, as the footsteps of that young man, rushing out in a hurry after receiving the urgent news, became distant, that manughed with amusement.
¡°Well, Hihahahaha, once again¡ long time no see~¡±
¡°¡¡ wretch¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be like that~ Sis~, what if¡¡ I just happen to help you¡ leave this cell?¡±
¡°Liar.¡±
¡°Yep I Lie ?¡±
Sure enough, there is no doubt.
Not only this voice, but only one person in the past has an attitude of always belittling me.
¡°Thou¡ surely the Sword Saint and the Great Mage¡ of the Seven Heroes must have brought thy end? If thou still lived, why¡¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t Ie back to the Demon King¡¯s Army? Honestly, I got¡ fed up with the war.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°The Great Demon Kinges up with better strategies than I do~ so I pretend to be dead~ be a viger and enjoy the slow life~ maybe travel around the world and y around once in a while~¡±
Fed up¡¡? What is he saying? Pretending to be dead?
Nonsense! Ridiculous! No matter how much of a low-life he may be, this man is also one of God¡¯s chosen beings.
He got fed up with such a person?
The war that I, we, have waged for so long. Tens of thousands of lives at stake¡
¡°Hihahahaha, you want to start preaching, dontcha? It¡¯s over and done, and you know it¡¯s no use saying anything to me, right Sis?¡±
¡°¡¡±
Yes, this man is right.
Even just talking to this man, my pace is disrupted.
The angrier I get, the happier he is.
Don¡¯t be disordered¡
¡°Hey¡ why art thou¡ here in Ang Kingdom?¡±
¡°Hmm? It¡¯s just another ce to hide out. Also, I wanted to have fun with angelic women ? As a paradise with lots of beautiful women like Sis, I wanted to visit once and enjoy rolling around with Seraphs to my heart¡¯s content.¡±
¡°Wh¡ at?¡±
¡°I found this country about three or four years ago, I think?¡±
To maintain myposure, I attempted to change the topic, but this man merely carried on¡
¡°But it¡¯s wasted effort. Seraph women only have wings and a little better skin on the bones than the rest of us, nothing special. No matter how beautiful they were, they got boring after three goes. Moreover, every one of them was so dull and naive, they just can¡¯t help themselves, hit on em with a sweet smile and they fall in love right away. They have flower fields in their heads, and are so assumptive that it¡¯s almost annoying these days.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°Yeah, don¡¯t tell the prince, okay? Gets mad when I make fun of women.¡±
How many years since I have felt so unpleasant?
Even though my formerpanion was alive¡ nay¡¡ was this man¡¡ ever apanion?
¡°Well, every day here, I eat then sleep, drink then sleep, party then sleep, screw then sleep, repeatedly, spending my days. For me, who has been in war for hundreds of years, this cloud world that only drifts in the sky is peace of mind itself, and if I realized something, I¡¯ve spent a few years infort.¡±
¡°¡¡ peace of mind¡fort? Thou? What mockery is this?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it nice, so peaceful. The clouds are pleasant~, they just drift. Rtionships, petty politics, scheming, hypocrisy, everything out of mind.¡±
Never did I think I¡¯d wish for death as much as I do now¡
¡°And thou, having been at peace¡what art thou thinking?¡±
On the other hand, I don¡¯t understand.
What in the world is this man thinking, what is he nning, and what is his purpose?
¡°Hmm¡ well, I¡¯ve been enjoying my time in peace and quiet, but¡ I¡¯m getting tired of the unchanging weather. Even clouds that just drift around, sometimes they drop thunderbolts or turn into rain clouds, and if it doesn¡¯t make for rough weather, I won¡¯t feel stimted and will rot.¡±
¡°¡¡ for that¡¡ thou would cooperate with Dekte¡¯ita?¡±
¡°His reputation is pretty bad. So he asked me for guidance. But, with a little human politics, a touch of interaction, and a mere whisper in the ear, the Seraph are no different from the Surface World and the Demon Realm, and it¡¯s been a long time since they had an ugly power struggle.¡±
So that is why¡ why the Seraph tribe, which has always been non-interventionist in the world, nowe to seize the world¡ how scum like Dekte¡¯ita could be the King of the Heavens¡ was this man¡¯s schemes moving behind the scenes?
¡°Well, maybe I was also a bit off my game in my own way.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The greatest in the history of the Demon Realm is the Great Demon King. The most feared in the history of the Demon Realm is Boss Hakuki. So, what about me? Maybe the worst in the history of the Demon Realm? If so, we¡¯ll have to tweak that ordingly.¡±
And then, I of all people, questioned the inane actions so far.
What is this man¡¯s intention? What¡¯s his purpose?
I can¡¯t help wondering about such things.
¡°Fifteen years have passed since the war. The countries on the surface have developed, the Demon Realm has stabilized, and the next generation of both worlds has begun to grow. Considering the short-lived humans, Hiro, Mamu, and the other Seven Heroes are now at their peak. If you want to create something that surpasses the past war parleys between humans and demons, now is the time!¡±
For there has always been one goal in all his designs, whatever his actions.
¡°Seriously, doing it now would be the most fun! Absolutely! Oh yeah! Really no joke, right?¡±
Yes, this man¡ from time immemorial.
Why did God¡ once grant this man an equal status to me?
¡°So I¡¯m thinking of having Sis die to signal the start of the war, but I have a little something I¡¯d like to ask. That¡¯s why I asked the Heavenly King to set up our talk here.¡±
And this time from the other side¡ or rather, is it the main subject?
This man seems to have something he wants to ask me¡ is it to do with Lady Kron?
No matter what it is¡
¡°Oh, by the way, what I want to ask, it¡¯s not about the doll you¡¯ve been ying with for the past 15 years.¡±
¡°ts, scoundrel!¡±
This dross¡¡ abominable¡¡ if not for my state¡ he would have died many times over¡ damn him!
If it¡¯s not about Lady Kron, what in the world is this man¡
¡°I¡¯ve also¡ been getting a lot of information about the Empire, but¡ just who is Earth Lagann?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve been with him in thest few months, haven¡¯t you?¡±
That was¡¡ unexpected, but¡ in a way, perhaps an understandable question.
¡°In fact, for about 20 years, I¡¯ve had a man under my thumb in the Empire as a spy. Even while I pretended to be dead and backed out of the war, I was receiving information on the military power of the Empire, the family structure, the strength and magical power of the next generation through him.¡±
¡°What was that? Such a person? For 20 years without being noticed by Hiro or Solja?¡±
¡°Fufufu, that¡¯s how good he is. He blends in so well. At the moment, he¡¯s already married and has children¡ I call him ¡®Koaso¡¯¡ well, that doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
I was unaware¡¡ I never thought there was such human resource¡
That¡¯s why, if we, the Demon King¡¯s army, once had the information about the spy¡ we could have done so much more in the previous war¡ this man¡
¡°That¡¯s why I was also checking Earth Lagann, of course. But that kid¡¯s numbers changed significantly. At least he did not have the ability to beat The Sword Saint¡¯s son. Not to mention¡¡ the Breakthrough? The Great Demon Spiral? Why?¡±
That¡¯s why I need not answer this man¡¯s question. Well, actually I don¡¯t know either.
However, this is all I can say.
¡°Why? It¡¯s obvious. He is Lady Kron¡¯s destined partner. Earth Lagann is the final key and the sessor to the Great Demon.¡±
¡°Oh, no! I just don¡¯t get this fucking bitch. Well, that¡¯s just like you. That¡¯s why the Great Demon King was appalled. I mean, why did the Great Demon King put you in the same position as me¡¡±
¡°That remark should be mine!¡±
Snickering at my words, I began to swear bitterly, and I heard him turn on his heel.
¡°Anyway, whoever he is, that kid¡ I see him as a key figure in the future of the world. I¡¯d really like us to get along. In the spirit of fraternity. And, let¡¯s ask the person in question directly.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Even if we don¡¯t get along, he¡¯s Hiro¡¯s son. Then that kid wille around. That¡¯s enough. Maybe the attack mentioned earlier¡¡±
¡°Eh! N, nay!?¡±
Certainly not, is Earth Lagann here? How? Riding an ugly creature? Nay, I certainly don¡¯t know how, but it may not be possible.
Even though he made full use of his strategy, if that man defeated me, he might be¡
Wait, what was said earlier¡ the ugly creature carried people from the Surface on board. they said that, didn¡¯t they?
Not alone? Could it be, who else? Machio? Hold, where¡¯s Lady Kron? Nay, that¡¯s¡
¡°Hihahahahahahahaha! What¡¯s going on? So fun, so fun! Throwing a party with just the prepared event and the guests is too boring! There are always surprises at a party! The unknown? I wee them with open arms! Now it doesn¡¯t matter whether they¡¯re going to spice up the party or ruin it! No matter how rough it gets, if I can have my fun, I win! Come on, get excited, it¡¯s Showtime!¡±
As if to grate on my feelings, the fiend¡¯s amusedughter resounded.
Author¡¯s Note
It¡¯s not that I was aiming for this, but I didn¡¯t expect that the mostmon point of view in the interval would be from Jamdi¡¯el.
Chapter 196 – Stones
Chapter 196 - Stones
Just as the air began to feel quite cold, the serious-looking Seraphs finally appeared from behind the clouds.
Some were pping their own wings, while others were astride the mysterious Pegasus.
¡°Little man.¡±
¡°I know! Everybody, brace yourselves! Okay, don¡¯t show me a scared face!¡±
Seraphs? Pegasus? What about it?
This hippo¡ no, it¡¯s a dragon!
From here on, if you are even a little scared, they¡¯ll swallow you whole.
No matter what happens, we re at the opponent proudly, regardless of their strength.
¡°That¡¯s far enough! I won¡¯t allow thee to go any further! Filthy Surface Apes! Turn away this instance!¡±
One of the mounted warriors, having set up a formation like a defensive wall, waited at the head of the center of the formation.
They were different from the warrior maidens who appeared on the Surface.
They looked slender, but their muscles were quite toned.
They stared at us with an extremely keen eye.
It¡¯s as if they were looking at garbage.
¡°We are the ¡®Guardian Angel Squad¡¯ of Ang Kingdom! For the past thousand years, we have been an irond force that has not allowed any invasion by foreign enemies! Come any closer to this country, and face Heaven¡¯s wrath!¡±
He had a strong tone of voice and a confident, dignified attitude.
What bothered me was that every one of them had the same kind of features as that ¡°Prince¡±.
How do I put it, this is a miserable squad of men.
On the other hand, they looked like members of a theater troupe, all of whom likely being cooed at by women.
But¡¡
¡°Giving a speech right away. Also, how convenient.¡±
When I muttered involuntarily, Mr. Machio nodded.
¡°That¡¯s a Seraph¡ but it¡¯s certainly convenient.¡±
¡°Agreed, aye.¡±
¡°True! I¡¯d be troubled if those cuties showed up again.¡±
Those warrior maidens who appeared on the ground.
If I had to fight them again¡ it would have been hard to do.
¡°Uho~, pretty good ass!¡±
¡°Is there really a bastard who surpasses my crotch?¡±
Although the opponents are Seraphs, they were men.
Then, I can hit as hard as I want.
¡ºHave not allowed a single invasion in a thousand years? In other words, they have neither been attacked nor fought a formidable enemy for a thousand years.¡»
¡°Ah! Like that¨D¨D¨D ¡°
Next to me, Tre¡¯ainar said that. In other words, that¡¯s how it is.
¡°Wait, Earth! First of all, it¡¯s polite to have a proper talk!¡±
Right away, Kamikaze Attack it is! Not, as I tried to give the signal, Kron stopped me.
¡°Hey, Kron, That¡¯s not really¡¡±
¡°No, even if we¡¯re going to fight¡¡ no, because we¡¯re going to fight, I heard from Jamdi¡¯el that at least this much is necessary.¡±
The head that leads us is Kron.
From that Kron, before anything else, say what should be said.
I don¡¯t want to do that, I felt like just hitting them with an initial charge right away.
¡ºWell, tis certainly not unique. Let her do it.¡»
¡°Geez¡ in that case¡¡±
Well, if Tre¡¯ainar says so, then fine.
With that in mind, I nodded to Kron.
¡°So, Hilly, please stop a little.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°To the Seraph tribe! We of the Surface¨D¨D¨D¨D
But¡¡
¡°I can¡¯t stop¡ don¡¯t ask th¡¯ unreasonable so suddenlyyyyyyyyyyy!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Heh??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯m already flying at full speed! If I stop, with this weight, we will fall! As things are, I have no choice but to rush straight aheaaaaaaaaaad!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Instead of suddenly fighting, Kron wanted to open with a verbal deration of war.
However, Hilua, who was flying with us on his back, is almost at the limit.
Now, if he stops, he will lose momentum and fall without being able to rise up again.
If you say that¡
¡°Now, be gone, lower creatures of the Surface, or else¡ or¡ hey, heed my words! Listen¡ nay, halt! All hands at the ready!¡±
We had no choice but to plunge right in.
¡°Ah¡ erm, that¡¯s¡ uh~ ¡ in that case, all you Seraphs! Excuse our intrusiooooooooooon!¡±
The Seraph men were trying to drive us away with a strong tone, but when they realized that there was no way to stop us, so they quickly instructed their friends.
In a panic, Kron also said a few words.
And the next moment¡
¡°Geez! No other way! Let¡¯s do it!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°So be it, here theye! Do not allow such ugly creatures and lower races into our country!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Understood!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
It had started.
¡ºChild! You, the maid and Wacha stand at the bow and repel them off! Hold Kron back!¡»
¡°Let¡¯s go! Me, Sadiz and Wacha to kick the enemy in front! Keep Kron behind us!¡±
¡ºce Machio¡¯s group behind the ship! Have them repel any enemiesing from behind!¡»
¡°Mr. Machio, Elder Sis Tsukshi, Karui! Cover our rear!
¡ºDivide the remaining to the left and right, defend and intercept! Most especially, prevent any attack on Hidon¡¯s wings at all costs! Be wary of attacks from below!¡»
¡°The rest of you, defend the left and right sides! Protect the Hilua from all attacks! The enemy may attack from below, so watch out for that too.¡±
I gave everyone Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, stood at the bow and waited.
On the other hand, Pegasus knights and Seraphs who appeared from the other side of the cloudse out one after another by the hundreds.
And then, perhaps at the direction of the lead Seraph, all of them started to spread up, down, left and right.
¡º¡¡ Do the enemy¡ intend to disperse widely and surround us? How convenient. Considering Hidon, who can only fly straight, the front will be thinner, hence breaking through the front is easy as is.¡»
¡°Right! Hilua, leave the enemy to us! Just go straight ahead!¡±
¡°Hiyaaaaaaah, n, no, no way, b, but I¡¯m scared!¡±
¡°Hilly, we¡¯re with you! So do your best!¡±
¡°Kron myss, I¡¯d go through fire, water, and clouds for you!¡±
¡¡ He was so negative at my words, but at Kron¡¯s voice¡ got along with her more and more, he got meughing without meaning to.
¡ºKeep the enemy at bay. Weapons.¡»
¡°Sadiz!¡±
¡°I know. Hilua, it will be a little heavy, but please bear with me. Now, everyone!¡±
As soon as she reached the predetermined spot on the ship, Sadiz magically took the weapons out of her extra dimension.
There were bows and other weapons lying around, but what everyone picked up from them without hesitation were dumbbell weights.
In addition, there were rocks for stone throwing.
¡ºSince ancient times, stone throwing has been a sound tactic. With the development of technology, stone throwers and slings have evolved, but traditionally, they were thrown by sheer physical power. Now, trained ones. Show what your shoulders are capable of!¡»
The strong men smiled as they held stones and other objects.
The opponents are Seraphs that fly around the sky using magic and other means.
¡°Fuhaha, what are they doing? They hold stones and rubbish?¡±
¡°As expected of the Surface! Such barbaric ideas!¡±
¡°Thou will bear witness to the power of Heaven!¡±
Naturally, the enemy scoffs at us, calling us ridiculous.
¡°Strike them down! Heavenly Bow Squad! Fire at once!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Understood!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
And while looking down on us, the Seraphs took their positions and attacked us all at once.
Bows strengthened by wind or other magic were shot all at once.
But¡¡
¡ºChild, the outset is key, astonish the enemy¡¯s heart.¡»
¡°Here we go! ¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Tornado¡¿!¡±
The shot arrows surrounded us, and were all repelled by the maelstrom of tornado-like spirals that appeared.
¡°What¡?¡±
¡°There was a magic user among them¡¡±
¡°Pay it no mind, keep going! Look, the wind actually subsides gradually¡¡±
Of course, I can¡¯t keep the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿ active for a long time, but with Magical Breathing, I can do it for quite a while.
But, there is still more toe, so I need to save my energy¡
¡°Right, now!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ouh!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone wants to vent the anger and frustration that had umted, so I also watched the timing and released the ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿, and¡
¡°Even a stone from the ground¡ with a trained shoulder, can reach the heavens, right? It¡¯s not quite as powerful as Earth¡¯s Great Spiral, but¡ a stone that spirals and thrusts forward¡ ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Gyroball¡¿!!¡±
¡°All right, the wind has ceased! All at once ¡ Hehbu!¡±
And the stones that were taken from the Surface reached the Seraphs.
¡°Alright, follow Machio!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s show them, our shoulders trained by Magical Baseball!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Curve¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Slider¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Split Magic Ball¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Cut Ball¡¿!¡±
One after another, without a moment to rest, stone strikes were hurled vigorously by the shoulders of trained men.
After all, even if it is just a stone, if it is thrown vigorously, the living Seraphs will not remain unharmed.
In fact, it¡¯s faster than holding a bow or casting magic.
¡°Wh, th, this is!¡±
¡°What are they!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not magic, they throw stones and rubbish¡¡±
¡°Yes, do not faltfubooo!¡±
¡°One after another¡ nay, do not approach!¡±
The faces of the angels, who had been taken aback by our sessive projectiles, gradually began to distort.
¡°Curses, wh, what is, s, savage barbarians! Thou have no pride!¡±
However, while theyined, Hilua pushed forward aiming at a thin wall of upset enemies.
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯m sorry that this immature author dyed the update!
As an apology, let me show you the whole body of me and the child.
Further down below is the cover art, we are waiting for you toe!
Chapter 197 – Invaders
Chapter 197 - Invaders
¡°Don¡¯t falter! Don¡¯t retreat from those wingless primitive apes!¡±
¡°But these brutes, buhhoh!¡±
Plunge straight in, and kick away the swarming enemy.
The instructions were too simple as advice from the Great Demon King, who has the world¡¯s biggest brain.
But, on the contrary, for us¡ at least for the men present here, this may be the instruction that can demonstrate the most power.
¡°Shaaaah, let¡¯s keep going, goraah!¡±
¡°Hey, arrows are flying again!¡±
¡°What! Let¡¯s hit them back, barbell unit!¡±
¡°Ouh, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith One-Legged Batting¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Pendulum Batting Form¡¿!¡±
The umted pile was released all at once.
Everyone threw stones and dumbbells at the fair-faced Seraphs, and swung heavy barbells to knock them down.
The momentum seemed unstoppable.
I had no choice but to join them and get in on the action.
¡°Shaah, I¡¯ll do it too! ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
I¡¯m me, and I unleash my fist, which flies like ashing whip that can be used in medium to long range¡
¡°Death Scythe, ¡¾Imperial Style, Sickle Art¡¡ Crescent Moon Rush¡¿!¡±
Sadiz swung her Scythe and sent crescent-sharp vacuum waves wildly around her.
¡°Crossbow Archery¡ Magical Crossbow!¡±
Wacha added magic to the two crossbows he held in his hands and shot them in rapid session¡
¡°Wh, what the hell are they!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t get close!¡±
¡°The formation¡¡ drat they¡¯ve broken through!¡±
¡°Gah, don¡¯t let them get away! After them¡±
We broke through the thin formation of Seraphs assertively, and the Seraphs who came pursuing after¡
¡°On top of destroying our hometown¡ we can¡¯t afford to lose anything else we cherish. Whatever reason or cause you have, if you stand as a wall before us, we¡¯ll push through you.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Horizontal Chop¡¿!¡±
Just by swinging a chop with his brawny muscr arm, they were swept off by Mr. Machio, who could unleash a shockwave or a vacuum wave like me or Sadiz.
¡°Absurd, what are they!¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t the level of power of the Surface sufficient to deal with the knights led by the Prince the other day?¡±
¡°tsu¡¡ Strong!¡±
¡°H, hey, hold firm! It seems the enemy is passing through!¡±
Certainly, the Seraphs were ¡°moderately¡± strong.
But, they were only ¡°moderately¡± strong, and had wings.
If they were topletely look down on us and let their guard down, they wouldn¡¯t be able to stop our current momentum, and once we get past them, they won¡¯t be able to catch up.
¡°Nhah, that¡¯s kinda, amazing! Everyone is amazing! So strong! So strong and kinda, cool!¡±
Even Hilua, who was ferrying us, was in a state of excitement, his initial fear already gone.
Seeing this, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes lit up.
¡ºRight, here we are! Pierce through the clouds without pause!¡»
¡°Now, Hilua!¡±
We all go as one big mass, screaming and yelling with Hilua.
¡°Nhaaaaaaaaaah, Let¡¯s Gooooooooooooooo!!!!¡±
Gaining altitude, Hilua elerated with a bang.
The wind was strong enough to cut through the body, and if you let up just a little, you might shiver from the cold.
But, no one said anything.
¡°Pierce throoooooooooooouuuuuuugh!¡±
¡°Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!¡±¡±
¡°Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!¡±¡±
Before us was a world of massive floating clouds.
Into those clouds we plunge, going deeper and deeper, and broke through the dim world.
And that¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Oooh!¡±
The sunlight that had been blocked on the way came through, and just as we were about to reach for it, we were thrust through the clouds.
¡°We did it, Hilly! Amazing!
¡°Woohoo, awesome! Hilly!¡±
¡°Splendid~?¡±
¡°Well done.¡±
¡°You made it, right? That¡¯s Hilly for you!¡±
We pierced directly above to the world of pure white clouds spreading all around us.
All together, we clenched our fists and cheered.
¡°Ehehe¡ Nhaah~, how embarrassing.¡±
Hilua received our praises, and looked happy as he made a ¡°Nihera~¡± expression. [1]
But this is something to be proud of.
Without him, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach this ce.
And¡¡
¡°Anyway¡ this is¡¡±
We were immediately struck by the vastness that spread across our entire field of vision, beyond our reach.
¡°What¡ what a beautiful world.¡±
Everyone must have agreed with Kron¡¯s unintentional remark.
¡°It¡¯s like a dream¡ right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right¡ for a moment, I forgot that we came to fight.¡±
Yes, a world that seems to instantly diminish the fighting spirit which had us rushing in here all fired up.
We could see what looked likend floating above a vast sea of clouds.
¡ºArtificial inds above the clouds¡ thend of pure white clouds with regr arrangements of square tiles¡ all that material is made from clouds, is it not? They magically harden the clouds, process them, and theny tiles made of cloud material on top of them.¡» [2]
Tre¡¯ainar murmured calmly as we looked around the world above the clouds, but even after hearing the exnation, I remained pensive for a while.
¡ºThe dwellings are made by stacking materials of the same principle. An artificialke made by melting clouds. Furthermore¡ unlike individual housing, a structure that can amodate arge number of people¡¡»
Located in the center of thend on the clouds, was what seemed to be the main building of thisnd¡ a Castle?
Anyway, as far as the eye could see, it was a world dyed only in pure white to the point of being unusually free of a single stain.
Furthermore¡¡
¡°Hey, look on thend.¡±
¡°Yeah, there are Seraphs.¡±
¡°Moreover, different from the women who attacked us or the men of a while ago ¡¡±
¡°Maybe¡ citizens?¡±
Seraphs were looking up at us as we appeared, with uneasy expressions.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone wore a single piece clothing, and did not look like soldiers in any way.
Perhaps, the Seraph civilians? No, I don¡¯t know if there¡¯s a word for that¡ but¡¡
¡ºFrom their point of view, we are the invaders. You must have known that they would look at you with such eyes.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºEven if it was the Seraph tribe who struck first¡ whichever side has a grievance¡ even if the intention ining was to rescue someone¡ from their point of view, tis all merely an excuse for retaliation. Stay the course.¡»
As soon as I began to feel a bit of confusion in my heart while receiving the gathering gazes, Tre¡¯ainar immediately whispered into my ears.
You knew this was going to happen and that we would be looked at with those eyes, didn¡¯t you? And.
Well, maybe I just ¡°thought¡± I understood.
¡ºIn any case, tis toote to turn back. Also, child. This is no time to be idle.¡»
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡ºPerhaps, Jamdi¡¯el may be found in that pce-like ce.¡»
He was right. We came to this world to fight.
And the next moment¡¡
¨D¨D PAN!
A somewhat dry sound, like gunpowder bursting.
Fireworks? I don¡¯t know, but it came out of nowhere.
Then, at the next moment, I heard a voice that seemed to echo out into the world, or rather into my head, naturally.
¨D¨DEMERGENCY REPORT EMERGENCY REPORT. WE ARE SENSING TRESPASSERS IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT RIGHT NOW. ALL NEARBY GUARDIAN ANGEL SQUAD AND BATTLE MAIDEN KNIGHTS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RUSH TO THE SCENE. REPEAT¨D¨D¨D¨D
How about that? One after another, something can be seen popping out of the huge cloud structure in front of us.
Furthermore¡¡
¡°Thou will go no further!¡±
¡°My people will not be harmed in any way!¡±
¡°By my life, we will strike thee back to the Surface!¡±
The Seraphs we breached seemed to have hurriedly followed us and caught up.
Certainly, it wasn¡¯t the time to stand around in a daze.
But¡¡
¡ºHmm¡¡ From the capacity of that castle, there are still likely to be even more soldiers¡ draw more of them out¡¡»
¡¸Eh?¡¹
¡ºChild. Drive more enemy soldiers to sortie and draw them in. Also, tis about time you get Kron ready¡¡»
¡¸Does that mean¡ so soon?¡¹
¡ºWell, truthfully, you could hold back until the confrontation with the king of this country and the ¡®little girl¡¯ with the Heraldic Eye, but¡ you do not want to involve nonbatants, do you? Once the enemy forces are drawn out, Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eye can put all the enemy soldiers and nonbatants together into a deep slumber.¡»
By my side, Tre¡¯ainar has always been calm.
Hmm? But, little girl? Who? It¡¯s the Prince who has a Heraldic Eye, right?
Author¡¯s Note
Apparently, the official release was made public.

Chapter 198 – Clouds
Chapter 198 - Clouds
¡°Over there! It is those Surface people, after all!
¡°I can¡¯t believe they came all this way, what are the men doing?¡±
¡°In any case, their fortunes have turned! Our country will not allow this!¡±
¡°Evacuation of the people with haste!¡±
The womening out of the cloud castle one after another were probably the same women who attacked the Surface.
¡°Ouuuuh, filthy invaders, thou shall go no further!¡±
¡°Enough! Let¡¯s get serious!¡±¡±
And the men chasing us from under the clouds.
Even though we had the best trained men with us, and Sadiz, the difference in numbers was huge.
If we fight while surrounded, we will be worn down.
No matter how much we¡¯vee to rampage, it¡¯s not efficient.
¡°What are we going to do? Little man.¡±
¡°Earth¡±
¡°Big brother.¡±
¡°Hiya~, lots of them here again!¡±
That¡¯s a lot of people. If we had to deal with all of them, we¡¯d be at a disadvantage.
But on our side, we have someone who can efficiently put our enemies to sleep all at once.
¡®It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry. Kron, get ready.¡¯
¡°Yes, I understand.¡±
When it was finally her turn, Kron nodded vigorously.
Yes, no matter how many enemiese, with Kron¡¯s super powerful magic eye¡
?Such folly ¡¡ despite enabling thy survival with great care¡ the thoughts of ipetent apes remain iprehensible.?
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Then, that voice echoed through all of us.
¡°This voice is¡¡±
¡°From that time!¡±
Their expressions strengthened instinctively.
¡°This is¡ His Majesty!?¡±
¡°Heavenly King! Why would thou bring thyself?¡±
And the sudden voice that we heard startled not only us, but also the Seraphs.
Yes, the voice belonged to the bastard that destroyed Cacretale with huge magic from the sky.
He is the king of this country called the King in the Heavens.
?Until the execution of Jamdi¡¯el¡ for my designs on the Surface world¡ I truly intended to ¡®procrastinate¡¯¡ I never, to think thou would go this far¡ I doubt thy sanity.?
¡°¡¡ bastard¡¡±
?However, as it hase to this, I see no issue in reneging on the promise to Jamdi¡¯el. In our defense, the savage ipetent apes that have invaded our country shall be disposed of.?
The shocking voice of the Heavenly King echoed, and not only me, but all the dojo guys also had a look of impatience.
Yes, everyone had quite a bit pent up with this bastard. Various things.
And then¡¡
¡°Even if we are barbaric, we are not willing to silently ept the loss or pain of anything else we hold dear!¡±
Kron spoke hard at the voice of the Heavenly King that resounded to us.
?Thou art the doll girl, aren¡¯t thee? Without Jamdi¡¯el, thou can do nothing, yet who has incited thee toe this far??
¡°I was not incited! My back may have been pushed, but¡ I¡¯vee this far by my own will!¡±
?What??
¡°I don¡¯t know why you think as you do of us on the Surface. I don¡¯t know what Jamdi¡¯el has done to you in the past. But just because I don¡¯t know, doesn¡¯t mean I will silently ept destruction and defeat by you!¡±
Kron does not take a step back against the Heavenly King.
With strong eyes and voice, she shows the feeling of ¡°fighting¡± to the forefront.
And everyone raised their voices to the tune of that feeling.
¡°That¡¯s right. The High Priestess will definitely be saved~!¡±
¡°Yes! We are a family!¡±
¡°If I lose my mentor here in silence, then what have I be so strong for?¡±
¡°You¡¯re going to pay for what you¡¯ve done to our country, you bastard!¡±
They shouted all at once that they felt the same way.
And then¡¡
?Hmph. What can a few dozen do whilst outnumbered? But I know. The doll girl. I know thou have magic eyes equivalent to Heraldic eyes?
¡°Eh!?¡±
?It seems thou did not use it against Ga¡¯al who was sent for power reconnaissance, but it would be more troublesome to use it here. And if that¡¯s the basis of your hearts and minds¡ we shall do this!?
At that moment, the Heavenly King confidently mentioned that Kron had a magic eye.
Does he know? That Kron has the Daybreak Eye?
¡º¡¡ What will you do?¡»
At the confidence of the Heavenly King, Tre¡¯ainar also wondered how things would go.
What the hell¡
?My subordinates ¡ and Ga¡¯al¡¯s subordinates¡ stay back and keep those people at bay. It would be more trouble than it is worth if thou all became confused and fight each other.?
¡°¡±¡±¡±Heavenly King??¡±¡±¡±¡±
?Small fries of such caliber shall be suppressed by my own hands, by the Great King of the Heavens.?
No way, he came here and stopped the wings of the Seraphs who were about to rush in with their huge armies numbering in the hundreds and thousands.
¡º¡¡ Even so¡ did he foresee the Daybreak Eye? Tis surprising¡ well, to be aware of Kron¡¯s existence, he cannot know¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar, what do we do? If it is true, the n was to put the enemy to sleep, confuse them, and then take Jamdi¡¯el back in the confusion of the moment, wasn¡¯t it?¡¹
¡ºWhat? You need not be that desperate. I am thinking of various measures¡ but¡¡»
As expected of Tre¡¯ainar. He didn¡¯t seem to be too upset by this.
He calmly considered what the Heavenly King would do after this.
¡ºAs long as we are here, they must limit the use of great spells or artillery to annihte the opposition, unlike what they did on the Surface. Otherwise this city will also be damaged. However, tis unlikely that the King himself will appear in a foolish and honest manner. As such¡¡ what can be done to attack our forces by retreating¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ one way or another¡ what are you doing?¡¹
¡º¡¡¯golems¡¯¡ is it?¡»
That was when Tre¡¯ainar murmured.
?Weather Magick, ¡¾Cloud Golem¡¿!?
The moment the Heavenly King chanted that, the hardened clouds that were our foothold gradually rose, and eventually the clouds appeared in the shape of hundreds of people around us.
¡°Wait! What¡¯s this?
¡°¡¡ Golems¡¡ this many at once?¡±
¡°What is a golem, Sadiz Big Sis!¡±
¡°Bizarre¡¡±
This was magic I¡¯ve never seen before. Clouds bing human shaped golems?
I¡¯ve seen sand golems made of a lump of soil, iron golems moved bypacting iron scraps, and golems made of water and fire, but I¡¯ve never seen a cloud golem before.
¡ºIndividually, their power is not very great, but they are rather numerous.¡»
¡¸Seriously¡ Tre¡¯ainar, what are we going to do?¡¹
¡ºIf you were all to rampage, you may be able to manage, but¡ you will wear out and¡¡ your numbers may diminish.¡»
The numbers diminish. What that means is simply the same as ¡°there will be deaths on your side¡±.
Of course, we¡¯re here to fight. There was always a possibility that it would happen.
?I¡¯m listening. Don¡¯t confront the Daybreak Eyes directly¡ and such illusions do not work on the golems.?
¡º¡¡ you are listening? Who in this world is taking measures against the Daybreak Eye? ¡¡ from whom?¡»
?Now, start¡ and let us end it!?
It seems that Tre¡¯ainar felt something clinging to the words of the Heavenly King, but now it¡¯s not the time to worry about that.
¡ºWell, this number of golems¡ you cannot give overlyplicated orders. Defeating them is not too arduous a task, but¡ still, you must cut off the origin of the spell, else they wille out forever.¡»
¡¸The origin of the spell¡ you mean¡¡¹
¡ºDefeat the Heavenly King, that is your top priority.¡»
¡¸Huh!?¡¹
¡ºFirst of all, strengthen all allies with Kron¡¯s illusions, then organize a detachment to strike at the Heavenly King.¡»
Defeat the Heavenly King. Otherwise, this situation will not change.
In other words, someone has to rush away from here and go face the Heavenly King.
Who?
That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking¡ but I also have to consider what happens here¡
Chapter 199 – You Should Go
Chapter 199: You Should Go
¡°Zee~, hah~, zee~, hah~¡ Phew~¡ I¡¯m at my wits end.¡±
¡°Hilly!¡±
At that moment, Hilua, who had carried us all the way here, finally reached the limit of his physical strength andnded on the cloudnds, wheezing.
However, it was enough that he had brought us this far.
Wended on the clouds, no one hadints.
¡°Damn¡ in the end, the Surface people put their feet on ournd¡¡±
¡°Thou¡ even now by this hand¡¡±
¡°Halt! Have thou forgotten the words of the king?¡±
The Seraphs have such regretful expressions on their faces about us.
They red at us from a distance, as if they were about to jump at us, but were still only looking on from a distance.
¡°Say, what is the King of Heaven asking?¡±
¡°And why should we not fight? We¡¯re warriors who keep the heavens safe!¡±
¡°Let golems fight, and we, Valkyries, to do nothing but lead our people to safety¡¡±
¡°Tch, why¡ rather the housekeeping Knight Order¡ even us¡¡±
¡°What was that? Is it we who y house?¡±
¡°Even so, we weren¡¯t allowed to finish the capture of Jamdi¡¯el the other day, and on the way here, the King himself¡ are we not trusted?¡±
¡°I know not, but¡ by themand of the King¡¡±
In order to protect this country, the Seraphs tried to surround and capture us, but they were stopped by the words of the Heavenly King and kept away from the battle.
You can see some Seraphs expressing frustration at this.
¡ºI see. After all, as Jamdi¡¯el was screaming the other day¡ the new Heavenly King is not so adored it seems¡ then, he may as well act as he pleases.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar does not miss even such grumbles from the Seraphs, and he had a lot of bad variety of evil looks on his face.
While I¡¯m curious how many tricks and what kind of bad things Tre¡¯ainar was nning in his head, I¡¯m a bit scared.
¡ºIn the worst case, all you need do is destroy the magic core that holds up this heavenly world. This cloud world is solidified by the cirction of a great deal of magical power. However, as long as tis magical power, there is a core that governs it. It would be just below that castle. Destroy it with a Great Magic Spiral, and this cloud world will unravel in an instant. Even if you use that as a bargaining chip¡¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar. Don¡¯t say such horrible things, because only I can hear them.
Even if I¡¯m told how to annihte this country, I can¡¯t say ¡°Yeah sure¡± to that extent, right?
?Now, my cloud golems. Crush those infidels!?
At that moment, the voice of the Heavenly King resounded again.
¡°tte¡ Child. This way now.¡¯
¡°Hmm? Ah¡¡±
Enemies attacked all at once in the words of the King of the Heavens.
Meanwhile, the men who were already unable to restrain themselves against the new enemy that had appeared before our eyes jumped out.
¡°What¡¯s a golem! I¡¯ll crush you with my fists!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, show them what we can do!¡±
¡°Feel the Arcane True Zenith!¡±
Before I could say anything to ovee this situation, a group of hot-blooded bastards jumped off Hilua¡¯s back and took on the swarming cloud golems.
¡ºDo not let them go too far ahead. The task here is to endure. They are here to hold out, not to go out on their own.¡»
¡°You guys, don¡¯t jump out so soon! Fight to protect Hilua, maintain the 3 man parties we decided at the beginning!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Little man. They don¡¯t seem to hear you¡¡±
For everyone who could only throw things or were limited in what they could do earlier, now was the situation where they can go as wild as they want on a foothold.
¡°Tch, damn it, I might as well take on a few enemies¡¡±
¡ºHold, child. Do not use too much energy on golems that do not use much magic. Tell them that, as well.¡»
¡°But¡¡±
¡ºThe power of these golems is a level that even the people in the dojo can single-handedly defeat. But it makes them conceited in an unfortunate way, and¡ unless they notice, they forget to pace themselves, and will immediately get exhausted.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar says that, but it¡¯s not that easy to get across.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith One-Armed Shoulder Throw¡¿!¡±
¡°Shred, the Sword of the Seven Stars!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Thrust Technique¡¿!¡±
¡°Dosukoiiiiiiiiiiii!¡±
¡°Heh, what the hell are these guys, they¡¯re no big deal!¡±
¡°All right, let¡¯s smash em to bits!¡±
And Tre¡¯ainar was right, although opponents are numerous, individually their power is certainly not great.
But, because of that, everyone went wild without a break, and if we keep this up, we¡¯re going to¡
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Double Lariat¡¿!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, Mr. Machio swung his stiff arms around, generating a tornado of sorts, and blew away the cloud golems one after another.
The guys were a little taken aback by the sheer destructive power.
And then¡¡
¡°Everyone, follow Earth¡¯s instructions. This isn¡¯t a fight, it¡¯s a battle to retrieve what¡¯s important to us.¡±
A quick word, in order to focus the minds of everyone who was getting rowdy.
¡°I see, guys! I don¡¯t think we should scatter during battle~!¡±
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Nunchuck Art¡¿ Hwacha ~~, Acha! Wachachachachacha, Hwachaa !!¡¡ Whew¡¡ I¡¯ll go back to my original ce now that I¡¯m a little more refreshed ¡°
¡°Please, brothers! Hilly is too exhausted to move, okay!
¡°Yesh. Somebody protect me!¡±
Following Mr. Machio, Elder Sis Tsukshi also gave a few words, and everyone who was excited finally nodded and returned to their original position.
¡ºThis one will do.¡»
¡°That¡¯s just like Machio. I can count on you.¡±
¡®Yeah! This is the man for the job.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Even if we go to defeat the King of the Heavens with a separate team, if Mr. Machio is there¡ then¡¡
¡°All right, everyone. It¡¯s a bit unexpected, but calm down. Either way, we¡¯re going into a fierce battle. Surround Hilua and defend this position as the main team. But that¡¯s not enough to win. So¡.. I¡¯ll leave this brawl and go blow the Heavenly King away in the confusion.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°It¡¯s a brawl involving this many golems. They won¡¯t even notice if one of us goes missing.¡±
Well, it¡¯s too simple to call a strategy. In short, while everyone is working hard, we¡¯re going to sneak out and defeat the enemy¡¯s boss.
¡°Wait, Little man. It¡¯s not safe to go alone! Then, I¡¯ll also¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ it would be reassuring if you came, but¡
¡ºTis ill-advised. She holds everyone¡¯s weapons, and can use Recovery Magic. She can also be resourceful in counter-magic and situational assessment. It would be best if she remains and supports Machio.¡»
¡°¡¡ as support for Mr. Machio¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Is it Little man who is saying that? Or maybe, the invisible to me¡¡ You-Know-Who?¡±
Scary. When I tried to tell Sadiz to stay when she says she¡¯s worried and wanted to follow, somehow, a tremendous, murderous gaze was turned to me.
¡°Certainly it¡¯s dangerous to be alone, aye.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so, Earth. At least one more person¡¡±
¡°Big brother!¡±
However, the others also expressed their opinion that I should not go alone.
As for me, I¡¯m fine with it since Tre¡¯ainar is with me.
¡ºTis unwise to split our numbers down the middle. If tis you, child, one person will be enough. But if you were to take someone along¡¡»
Then, before Tre¡¯ainar could name someone¡
¡°Take me with you, Earth!¡±
¡°Kron!?¡±
¡°I want to go! No ¡ I think I should go. I have to go! I don¡¯t know why, but I think so!¡±
Kron raised her hand and came forward.
¡ºWell, she should suffice. After strengthening everyone with the suggestion of the Daybreak Eye, she would be more useful elsewhere, as the only enemies here are golems that are immune to her illusions. Rather, she would be an additional burden to be protected. As such, it would be better to work with the child and take her to that Heavenly King.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar had no objection to taking Kron, but rather seemed about to make the suggestion.
¡°¡¡ Little man¡¡±
¡°¡¡ seems to be the way to go.¡±
¡°Nuh, guh¡¡±
When I nodded to Sadiz with the meaning ¡°Tre¡¯ainar agrees¡± she was tantly mortified.
Somehow, Sadiz seemed to hate Tre¡¯ainar more and more, and her nce hurts.
¡°Hey, the second wave ising!¡±
¡°You mute bastards¡ bring it on, if you dare!¡±
Well, it¡¯s not the case when we have a strategy meeting forever.
The Golems were blown away by Mr. Machio, but they generated one after another from the clouds, multiplied, and narrowed the circle while surrounding us.
¡°All right, Kron. Shall we go?¡±
¡°Oh, thank you! I¡¯m inexperienced, but please treat me well!¡±
¡°¡¡ Um, that¡¯s a little inappropriate ¡¡ to say¡¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
I almost lost it a little at Kron¡¯sment, but I regained myposure and held Kron¡¯s hands.
Firmly squeeze it so that we do not separate.
¡°Okay, we¡¯re going to hold this spot until Earth and the goddess canplete the operation. Gritting our teeth and enduring is what we¡¯re good at, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Macho is right~! Let¡¯s see if we can hold them off here ~!¡±
¡°Stick together in groups of three and don¡¯t get too carried away!¡±
¡°If you need medical attention, call me. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
¡°Come on, aye!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oueehh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone seemed to have been convinced, and prepared to rekindle their spirit.
But this time, they don¡¯t jump out right away, just wait.
?What is this? I thought thou would rampage on thy own, fall to conceit and destroy thyself, but ¡ art thou thinking to wage a war of attrition? Fufu, what unseemly struggle¡?
The King of the Heavensughed at our situation.
But¡¡
?I say¡¡ hmm? What¡¯s wrong, friend? What??
Huh? What? Suddenly¡
?What else might be their aim? What does thou mean? The basis of warfare is the general¡¯s head? What does that mean¡ Drat, we are still connected telepath¨D¨D¨D¨D?
¡ºHmm?¡»
Was the Heavenly King talking to someone just now? Is there anyone nearby?
He was carelessly broadcasting through a telepathic connection¡
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡»
Then, Tre¡¯ainar, perhaps caught by what had just happened, put his hand on his chin and gazed at the pce.
¡º¡¡ Although the people do not seem to really appreciate him¡ i still, is there anyone beside him who can advise the king? And there is a person whose advice the king obediently listens to. how unexpected¡¡»
Is that something to be concerned about¡ no, if Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s concerned, maybe it¡¯s something important?
But either way, I have to go now.

Chapter 200 – Heat
Chapter 200 - Heat
It seemed Tre¡¯ainar was bothered by something, but in any case it doesn¡¯t change what we¡¯re going to do.
¡°Well then, everyone! Look me in the eye!¡±
I signal Kron, and she nodded and called everyone¡¯s attention to open her magic eyes.
¡°Daybreak Eye, Activate! Magic Eye Skill, ¡¾cebo Kiaida¡¿!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone, including myself, fell under Kron¡¯s suggestion.
¡°Everyone. The enemy is mighty. But you can do it!¡±
We can do it.
¡°I know how hard you¡¯ve been training every day. Now is the time to grit your teeth and show off the results of your stoic self-improvement!¡±
I¡¯m motivated.
¡°I¡¯ll say it again and again. You can do it!¡±
The heat was overflowing
Defeat. The Enemy.
Protect. Our Comrades.
¡°Everyone ¡ if we can¡¯t do it, who can!¡±
If we don¡¯t do it, who will!
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go, everyone!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uoshyaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh, let¡¯s gooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Now, as always! To the heavens and the world¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Every one of you, all together, bring it ooooooooooooooooooooooooonnn!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Our roar resonated in the sky. In this world where the air is supposed to be thin, our enthusiasm made the air crackle.
Our voices overwhelmed the Seraph warriors, who had no ce to swing their raised fists and were ordered to stand by unwillingly, as well as those who knew nothing.
That¡¯s right. Those who won¡¯t fight, back away.
However, if theye at us, we will knock them all down!
¡°Here theye, don¡¯t let any of them through! Beat them with your strength and stop them with your bodies!¡±
¡°Oraa, there¡¯s nothing bulging in their crotches, bunch of mute bastards!¡±
¡°If I can¡¯t ravish it, I¡¯ll erase it, cloud bastard.¡±
¡°First strike always wins!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll prove with this Seven-Star sword that Arcane True Zenith is not the only Magic Sword in Cacretale!¡±
¡°Kabaddi kabaddi kabaddiiiiii!!¡±
¡°Howaaaaaachaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
Unlike the Seraphs, the emotionless golems were undaunted by our spirit and attacked us without hesitation.
But¡¡
¡°I hope you don¡¯t look down on the Surface too much! Sei! Hah!¡±
¡°Heavenly folk~, I don¡¯t think you¡¯re fast enough! Ha¡¯haa¡±
Regardless of man or woman, raging as one mass, no mere golem could stop us.
¡°Mumblemumble¡ right¡¡ let¡¯s liken the golems to the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡ Fufufu one Great Demon King down, two Great Demon Kings down, three Great Demon Kings down. ¡¡oh my, that makes me feel a little better.¡±
Even more so, now there¡¯s Sadiz who was beheading the Golems with a really terrifying look on her face.
¡°H, hey hey¡ what, those Surface people suddenly ¡¡±
¡°Hey, the housekeeping Knight Order, isn¡¯t it a little different from your information?¡±
¡°They are ¡ strong¡¡±
¡°That ¡ the people on the Surface who couldn¡¯t even reach the prince¡ are so¡¡¡±
¡°Hey, are things not dire?¡±
¡°We¡¯d best go as well¡¡±
The Seraphs were watching our scuffle at a distance. I could see some agitation, but it seemed that there was still no one who would disobey the king¡¯s orders ande at us.
And¡¡
?¡¡ tch¡ such annoyances¡ however, if thou rampage as much, thou will soon exhaust thyselves and be unable to move. Suddenly bing quiet earlier, I thought we would wage an endurance battle with thee, such buffoons.?
Although everyone¡¯s rampage made him click his tongue, a sneer escaped from the King of the Heavens.
Yes, this momentum may be great, but won¡¯t it suddenly overshoot and quickly burst as I feared at first?
However¡¡
¡ºHmm, tis unlike a moment ago. Under Kron¡¯s suggestion, everyone responds not only to the assumptions in their heads, but also with their brains and bodies. With such increased motivation, fatigue and pain will eventually turn into pleasure. Tis referred to as ¡®Intracerebral Narcotic¡¯. I call the state filled with it ¡®Magical Runner¡¯s High¡¯.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar dismissed the mockery of the Heavenly King.
¡ºThese one, who were artificially put into Magical Runner¡¯s High state by the Daybreak Eye¡ will not tire for a while!¡»
Apparently, well, there is such a phenomenon.
It¡¯s true that sometimes, when I do a lot of running or exercise, I don¡¯t get tired as much.
Rather, I want to do more.
Kron¡¯s eyes seemed to always keep us in that state.
¡°Uhohohohohoho, insane! After peering into the eyes of the goddess¡ my crotch is so insane! Ouuuh, now you cloud bastaaaards, I¡¯ll make you my Dutch-Husbands!!¡±
¡°See, hey! Can¡¯t the Seraph hunks over theree closer? Damn, what a kill-joy¡ Hahahahahahah, it¡¯s not going to wilt even if I mess up a cloud bastard!¡±
¡°Oh, I hate you! Thinking about it, not only the Great Demon King, but also that Jos¨¦, if he didn¡¯t interrupt me, Little man would have been in an unstoppable boob-fest state with my girls, and he would still be¡ aaaah, I hate you! I hate the Great Demon King and I hate Jos¨¦!¡±
¡°Hey, no. It¡¯s getting too hot¡ I wonder if Machio¡¯s muscles are too nice! No I shouldn¡¯t, at a time like this, I¡¯m such a¡ but oh, to be able to fight as a woman standing next to Machio, and those muscles are already mine¡ mushy writhing~!¡±
Well, I guess it¡¯s partly dangerous¡¡
But it¡¯s about time, right?
¡°All right, Kron.¡±
¡°Yes, no matter where!¡±
The rest is timing. Get away from here and get to that pce.
If this second wave of enemies are gone¡
¡°Heh, oraoraora what¡¯s wrong, Seraphs!¡±
¡°The heavens at this level, absurd!¡±
¡°So much for the magic of the Heavenly King.¡±
¡°You¡¯re still on your mother¡¯s teat!¡±
Anyway, everyone defeated the enemy with the momentum, but gradually became more radical, and finally ranted to the King of the Heavens.
Is this all right?
Well, since the other party also calls himself the King, they¡¯re so easy to provoke¡
?What was that ¡? These lowly creatures! Say what about me¡ thou shall not be forgiven! Is the power I wield this level? Thou shall bear witness with thy eyes! No, don¡¯t stop me, friend! I shall demonstrate my power to these cretins!?
I mean, he took to the provocation!
Somehow, apparently a close adviser who seems to be by his side tried to hold him back, but the Heavenly King would not stop.
?300 New Cloud Golem Reinforcements! Also¡¡ also!?
First of all, he generated and increased more golems that have lost their numbers in a burst of everyone¡¯s rage ¡ and in addition¡¡
?Five Great Cloud Golems!?
How should I put it ¡ yeah ¡ one after another, the newly generated stuck together and merged to create another huge humanoid cloud golem that was so big that it cast a shadow on us.
¡°That¡¯s big¡¡±
I looked up and instinctively muttered.
Apparently, the Heavenly King was getting serious.
¡ºHmm, even though he is King¡ to lose yourself to simple provocations¡ unaware of the bottom, the Heavenly King.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡ºOi, child. Why do you stare at me with such eyes?¡»
¡°¡¡ it¡¯s nothing¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar was also easily pushed by my provocations¡ well, let¡¯s not say that.
But even if you can see the bottom¡
¡°Hmm, nothing to fear. Such a huge body, its movements must be slow. With my data ¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°After all, it¡¯s all show. By the Seven Stars beyond the clouds¨D¨D¨D¡±
Even if he is morally bankrupt, the opponent is the King of the Heavens.
?Great White Punch!?
¡°Uboh!¡±
¡°Gah!?¡±
Some of the allies, who were undaunted by the big guy and were bracing themselves, were knocked away with one fist.
¡°Lyron!? Gran Chario!?¡±
¡°What the¡ it¡¯s pretty fast for that size!?¡±
¡°Oh, Ms. Sadis!? Please, two people!¡±
¡°Right away!¡±
A huge punch with considerable power. And four more bodies that can do the same thing.
Moreover, we are surrounded by hundreds of golems.
?I¡¯m stilling. Weather Spell, Megastorm. Weather Spell, Mega Thunderbolt. Weather Spell, Megasquall!?
The moment the Heavenly King chanted, the Great Cloud Golem¡¯s big bodies came together and cast a spell on us.
¡ºChild!¡»
¡°Oh! Uh ¡ Great Magic Spiral!!¡±
In a hurry, I jump out and protect everyone with the maelstrom of the Great Magic Spiral, repelling all of the enemy¡¯s magic.
As a result, I managed to avoid any damage¡
?Nu¡¡ thou blocked it¡ huh? Friend. Thy eyes sparkle, why??
I never thought the golem would use magic.
¡°Fuha~¡ they are capable of magic!¡±
¡°You saved us¡ I¡¯m sorry, Earth.¡±
¡°You¡¯re amazing, Little man.¡±
I¡¯m not the only one. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in spite of themselves, but even though they were enthusiastic until a while ago, everyone¡¯s faces suddenly became tense.
¡°No way, I thought they could only follow simple instructions¡ if he wants, can all the golems use Weather Magic?¡±
¡ºSo it would seem. Tis a fairly advanced technique¡ that allows the use of magic through golems. Though depraved, it fits the asion¡¡»
¡°Tch! This is pretty tough!¡±
So far, the cloud golems had only simple movements, but there are five golems that are tougher than before, and above all, ridiculouslyrge.
?Hmm, thou seem to be able a little capable¡¡ but how long can thou endure? I shall have you understand¡ thy sins of defying the heavens, in the depths of thy pores!?
It means that the King of the Heavens has taken the provocation seriously.
But¡¡
¡ºWhat, do not hesitate, child. The fact that he exerted so much power should mean that the King of the Heavens has consumed a considerable amount of magic power. And from the uracy of these golems and the magic contained within, the magic capacity of the Heavenly King may be roughly estimated. If you face him¡ he should be far easier to defeat than Jamdi¡¯el.¡»
Still, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s calm doesn¡¯t change, but rather tells me that this is more like an opportunity.
Certainly, if we go ording to the original strategy, it may be somewhat tougher, but I have to go¡
¡°Earth, I can manage things here somehow. That¡¯s what I do.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio?¡±
¡°So, you and the Goddess¡¡±
Mr. Machio whispered to me with a rugged face.
He said he would draw their attention alone.
However, even Mr. Machio, who is a true rock, would have to take on those five bodies alone¡
¡°Little man, look up!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, a huge white fist was swung down from above my head, which was ugly.
Damn, stay alert!?
Great Magic Spiral ¡ won¡¯t make it¡
¡°Huh!?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Huh¡?¡±
My feet suddenly glowed, and at the same time a magic circle appeared.
I had no idea what it was¡
¡ºTis¡ Transfer Magic Circle¡¡»
That¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar murmured.
Transfer? Why? A neer? Who the hell¡¡
¡°I did it, it finally worked!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
An unexpected appearance suddenly emerged from the magic circle¡ eh? Why¡¡
¡°Seriously¡ tte, what the heck is that big thing!? Suddenly!? Oh, oh, yes, ¡¾Megawind¡¿!¡±
The guy who appeared, surprised by the sight of the great cloud golems that suddenly entered his field of view and its attack, unwittingly unleashed his Wind Magic.
It was magic that wasn¡¯t specifically chanted or formted for power.
Nevertheless, its power was like a storm, and it flicked away the fists of the Great Cloud Golem.
¡°Fu~, I was surprised¡ but is this¡ Cacretale? Until now, the barrier warded and repelled us, but suddenly I thought it was gone and gave it a try¡ anyway, I don¡¯t get the situation at all. but¡¡ anywhere is fine, right? And I got to meet the people I wanted to meet.¡±
With that said, he looked around and looked back at me¡ while unleashing such magic, and turned his smiling baby face toward me.
¡°Ah¡ he¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Who? That good kid?¡±
¡°Uho~, I like.¡±
¡°?¡±
Everyone but Sadiz was tilting their heads at the sudden appearance.
But I know him well. So does Sadiz.
¡°Why¡ are ¡¡±
Those were the only words I finally got to say.
¡°Hey, Earth. Who is this person? ¡¡ tte, Earth! Behind you!¡±
¡°Nuo!¡±.
Oh, man, I was in a daze.
Dozens of golems from behind me¡
¡°Why? Don¡¯t be silly, do I need a reason?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go thinking you can run away from us forever. Hey, Earth¡ h, hey! Y, y, y, you¡¯ve been, holding hands with th, th, tha¡ eh? Hey!¡±
You¡¯re kidding me, right? These two pierced, crushed chopped up the golems that attacked me from behind in an instant.
A long-haired, tall, handsome swordsman, and a spear-wielding princess who red at me with a haughty attitude¡
¡°Fuun~, why even me¡ eh? Is this Cacretale? No¡¡ clouds? Eh? That? ¡¡ ah¡ by any chance¡ is this where¡¡¯he¡¯ is¡!?¡±
Huuuuuuuuuuh! Eeeeh? As for this person, seriously, why?
A reclusive former ssmate of mine, a girl with a flute, scurrying around with a surprised expression on her face.
And¡¡
¡°Above the clouds? Are we in the sky? But I¡¯ve heard that the sky is freezing, but it¡¯s so hot. No, this heat. It¡¯s the surging pathos that¡¯s burning me up. Yes, this is love!¡±
What¡¯s with this lineup!?
I can¡¯t say anything anymore.
A beautiful girl who confessed to me ¡¡ that she has a crush on me ¡¡ with her long ck hair flowing¡¡
¡°Honey, is your chastity still safe?¡±
Heeeeeeeere? Eehh? Um, oh, eh? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?
¡°Also¡ you two are holding hands very firmly.¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°But that¡¯s her, right? Finally, I was able to meet her and at the same time as our reunion ¡ surprisingly though, she was a demon¡¡±
And she saw Kron holding hands with me¡
¡°You must be Ms. Sadiz, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes? No? I¡¯m not?¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°?¡±
And they¡¯re tilting their heads at the same time¡ sorry, I want to tilt my head, too.
Why are these ¡°five people¡± here?

Thank you for your continued support.
And sorry. I really thought about reintroducing ¡°these guys¡± at a different time and in a different situation, but I decided to bring them out in this form.
Chapter 201 – Second Round
Chapter 201: Second Round
Why? They got angry when I asked. But even so, that¡¯s all I can say now.
¡°You guys¡ what are you doing here? On top of that¡¡ even Shinobu¡¡±
¡°Should there be a reason for a woman toe to the man she fell in love with?¡±
¡°Ah¡ ah¡¡±
Oh~, why is she suddenly doing this after three months apart¡ my face was getting hot¡
¡°Oh my! How lovely! Is this Earth¡¯s lover?¡±
Then, Kron took her hand off me with a twinkle in her eyes at Shinobu¡¯s words and happily grabbed Shinobu¡¯s hand.
¡°Oh? You understand, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I understand, Earth is so wonderful!¡±
¡°Indeed. That goes without saying.¡±
¡°Yes! You also seem like a very nice person¡ you two look good together!¡±
¡°Eh¡ah¡that¡¯s an unexpected response. I thought you were a thieving cat¡ but I¡¡ can I hope to make friends with you?¡±
¡°To be friends!? I would be so delighted!¡±
Saying that, so peaceful and heartwarming? Such a scene was unfolding before us, no, you guys! Right now¡¡
?Who art thee!? How have thou crept into this heavenly world, sullying ournds with your feet. Such scoundrels! Cloud golems, take them¨D¨D¨D?
¡°Ha~ ¡ The reunion with my beloved Honey? If you interrupt a maiden in love¡¡±
?¡¡ Nuh??
¡°You won¡¯t survive the burn! Fire Ninja Arts, ¡¾Crimson Lotus Spiral(Guren Rasen)¡¿!¡±
?Eh!??
And just as the Golems were about to attack Shinobu and Kron en masse, Shinobu suddenly blew out a ming spiral from her mouth, and instantly wiped out dozens of Golems.
¡°Really. Unable to read the atmosphere at all. Perhaps because it¡¯s so thin above the sky.¡±
With a generous smile¡ I mean, what a¡ by normal standards, tsue~¡
¡°Wow! Amazing!¡±
¡°Whoa! Th, that girl is awesome!¡±
¡°She spit fire from her mouth!?¡±
¡°Earth¡¯s friends? No, Lover?¡±
¡°¡¡ does Ms. Sadiz know, aye? ¡¡ what¡¯s with the Ninja Warrior¡¡±
¡°I suppose this means you have been working together since then? But I haven¡¯t epted you as a partner for the Little man yet, have I?¡±
Naturally, the allies were surprised at Shinobu¡¯s power.
But¡¡
¡°Eeeeeii! Wa, wait a minute, Shinobu! F, for a while now, I¡¯ve just listened in silence, a, also the girl there, Earth, she¡¯s been flirting with your hands!¡±
At that moment, the princess, who was even more air-headed than the Heavenly King, made a hassle in such a situation.
¡°Oh? You haveints about something? Princess Phianse.¡±
¡°Yes! I say it almost every time, but Earth is ¡¡±
¡°Oh my! Are you someone who is also aware of Earth¡¯s charm?¡±
¡°Huh? H, hey! How many years do you think I have known Earth! Me, an ¡®also¡¯? Don¡¯t confuse me with the rest of you!¡±
Geez, this princess. Hearing the conversation between Shinobu and Kron was embarrassing enough, but she actually told the two who thought well of me, ¡°Don¡¯t put us together¡±. Well, I know this person doesn¡¯t really think well of me, but¡ no, that¡¯s what she¡¯s been doing for years¡
¡°Earth is also Earth! I haven¡¯t seen you in three months and, d, doesn¡¯t matter¡ she doesn¡¯t seem to be human, but who is she?¡±
¡°No, well¡ something like¡¡±
And this was always the case.
I mean, this was not the time to exin all that¡ as usual, this princess is a pain in the ass¡
¡°Yes, well, I¡¯d be happy if you could tell me about Earth¡¯s female rtionster, just in this situation¡¡±
¡°Oh, where are we¡ and what are you doing now? There¡¯s even a hippopotamus with wings¡ the golems made of clouds¡ and there seems to be winged demi-humans over there¡
Although a little surprised by such a princess, Fu and Rebal were beside me.
Well, I know these guys have questions they want to ask me, but there¡¯s something I want to hear, too.
But right now¡
¡°Oh, I don¡¯t really need an exnation.¡±
¡°Shinobu?¡±
¡°Surely this is not the ce for talking. What is important is how you feel about the current situation as you see it with your own eyes and how you judge it. For me, Honey is fighting hard. That¡¯s enough. If you fight, I¡¯ll fight with you.¡±
And Shinobu suddenly insisted, as if to cover Fu and Rebal¡¯s words.
I was totally bbergasted in spite of myself.
¡°A¡ are you sure? Asking no questions¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, even if I regret my reason for fightingter¡ it just means my judgment was wrong. But the oue, wrong or not, is something I¡¯ll knowter.¡±
¡°Wh, what is that?¡±
¡°Fufufu, but I can tell you this. I don¡¯t know if my decision is wrong or not, but this love is not wrong.¡±
C,e on, no way¡ my face was so hot, how embarrassing¡
At a time like this.
I crouched down, feeling as if I had been punished for not seeing her for the past three months.
¡°Wai, wait a minute, Shinobu! Th, then, me too! Th, there¡¯s so much I wa, want to ask Earth! Ever since ¡®that day¡¯. But¡but now!¡±
Then, as I was getting lost to Shinobu¡¯s words, the princess interjected as if to reprimand us.
Of course, the ¡°that day¡± that the princess mentioned was that day.
It¡¯s the day of the Commemorative Graduation Match, the day I ran away from everything.
¡°Now I¡¯m just going to fight alongside Earth, who is desperately trying to fight! I have no hesitation about that!¡±
But the princess also seemed to have things she wanted to say, preach, and ask me, but she still says she will fight for now, and held up her spear.
When they heard the princess¡¯ words, both Rebal and Fu nodded, smiling bitterly.
¡°Dear me¡ you¡¯ve always been so¡ but things being like in the old days once in a while isn¡¯t bad?¡±
¡°I agree. Princess, Earth, Rebal and me. The four of us, working together to fight something¡ I¡¯m d to see a day like this again.¡±
They squint their eyes as if reminiscing about the old days.
¡°¡¡ Rebal¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re the leader. Now¡ I¡¯ll fight with you.¡±
I felt a little awkward with Fu, but not with Rebal, since our fight at the Graduation match had an unsessful conclusion.
However, Rebal, while sensing this, dared to say let¡¯s fight now and didn¡¯t talk about the match.
¡°Don¡¯t dawdle, Coman. For now, some people are wounded, go give them some help!¡±
¡°Ah, y, yes, princess!¡±
And I don¡¯t know how she got involved, or really why she¡¯s here, but I¡¯ll ask about Comanter anyway¡
¡°Well, I mean¡ Earth? Does that mean these people will fight with us, too?¡±
¡°Are you old friends of Earth? If so, we can count on you.¡±
¡°Aya~¡¡ this is also in a sense, the greatness of youth aye¡ everything from the lineage¡¡±
For now, let¡¯s fight together. No one was against that.
¡°I appreciate it. Princess. Master Rebal. Master Fu. Ms. Coman. And Ms. Ninja warrior?¡±
¡°Sadiz, you¡¯re safe¡ Well, you¡¯ve spent thest three months¡ with Earth and all¡ Or rather, what the hell is this woman doing here while you¡¯re here¡ among other things¡ anyway, I¡¯ll hear about it afterwards.¡±
¡°Wh, eh, th, this is Ms. Sadiz!? ¡¡ I see¡¡ I¡¯d like to have a woman-to-woman talk with youter.¡±
¡°Oh my! You are all going to fight with us? How reliable! I¡¯m so d!¡±
It may be a bit of a jumble of members, but it¡¯s true that if you consider just the simple strength of the group¡
¡®I can¡¯t let myself be outdone. Young ones. My muscles are aching too.¡±¡±
¡°This guy¡ he¡¯s overwhelmingly strong. And if you look closely, the others are also well trained¡ and with such people in tow, Earth really is a very good man¡¡±
¡°Now now, Rebal, Now¡ together with our leader!¡±
¡°Uwah~, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but it looks amazing!¡±
Yeah, I don¡¯t feel like losing.
¡°Here we go, Kron! You guys!
¡°Right! It¡¯s the second round!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uuooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
From here, it¡¯s a dash to the Heavenly King!

Tomorrow, it¡¯s going to be unleashed to the world¡ and¡ whether or not Shinobu will be born as a picture¡will depend on tomorrow?

Chapter 202 – Intermission (Prince) ②
Chapter 202: Intermission (Prince) ¢Ú
I rushed to Daddy after receiving the report of the invaders, only to be given but one order, ¡°stand by¡±.
I was told not to do anything unnecessary, so I couldn¡¯t sortie and merely looked down at the city from the pce.
My little birds and the Guardian Squad were not allowed to fight, only guide the evacuation of the people.
Only Daddy¡¯s golems were in battle.
The golems, however, were overwhelmed by the furious momentum of the Surface people.
[Mu~¡ why, that demon woman held Earth¡¯s hand¡ uh, he¡¯ll definitely get a sermonter! Until then, I¡¯ll pierce you all!]
[Fufufufufu, oh dear, Little man is so popr~ I¡¯m happy, but also a little frustrated~]
[Well, I¡¯m not so narrow-minded that Honey touching another woman a little bit would offend me, am I? It¡¯s just not funny, so I¡¯ll let the mncholy slide.]
Warriors of the Surface, united under one will without taking a step back in the face of Daddy¡¯s mighty power.
[We can count on Earth¡¯spanions to lend us a hand. I¡¯m Machio. What¡¯s your name?]
[Rebal¡ you know of Earth¡¯s strength¡?]
[I know it very well. I fought him recently and lost.]
[Huh!? ¡¡ ah I see¡ same as me. I lost to him, too.]
[Hoh~]
[So Earth¡ faced someone strong like you¡ and won¡]
[Fu~, well, that¡¯s the way it is. Then, we¡¯re both losers. But let¡¯s make this oureback.]
[¡¡ yeah, I¡¯m with you.]
The strength to kick away Daddy¡¯s golems one after another while chatting.
Just watching them fight made my heart flutter.
And at the same time, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of danger as their fangs were digging into the Heavenly World.
And yet, I¡¯m here still.
¡°Daddy!¡±
¡°¡¡ What?
I can stand it no longer.
So in the throne room, I gave my suggestion to Daddy.
¡°Permit me to sortie! They¡¯re quite skilled. But if Daddy¡¯s golems are joined by the Valkyrie Knights and the Guardian Angels in this battle¡¡±
¡°Hold your tongue! Thou do not understand how troublesome this would be for thee, a failure who art incapable of resisting the maniptions of a Magic Eye! Stand down!¡±
However, the frustrated Daddy only looked displeased at me and didn¡¯t listen at all.
¡°Daddy¡ however, with my Heraldic eye, surely I can resist ¡¡±
¡°Thou¡¡ lowly creatures. Do thou notprehend? With my magical power, I can further strengthen the golems! Or¡¡ deploy my hidden hand¡¡±
No longer am I in Daddy¡¯s sights.
The King of the Heavens, fighting all on his own, refused the aid of hisrades, subordinates, or family.
Were I stronger and more reliable, would he have done something different?
¡°Hihahahaha,e now~ Dick, you got this.¡±
However, even though Daddy is such, there is only one being whose words he hears.
It is the only one in this country who calls Daddy with such familiarity as ¡°Dick¡± from ¡°Dekte¡¯ita¡± as a nickname.
¡°Friend, this is no time for mirth! If thou know of them, tell me everything.¡±
¡°Hihaha no, no, no, I also, got no clue what¡¯s going on, I¡¯m just as surprised.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°¡¡ Well, it looks like we got a surprising girl here¡¡ so we¡¯re going to have to get a little instruction from ¡¡that youngdy.¡±
¡°Nu? Who art thou referring to?¡±
¡°Look, that flute over there is¡ tte, hey Dick, let¡¯s cut the telepathy, shall we?¡±
¡°Nuh!¡±
Yes, Daddy also listens to his friend¡¯s advice.
Friend? That man who appeared in this country a few years ago.
Had it not been for that man, Daddy would not have be the King of the Heavens.
Therefore, Daddy trusts that man more than anyone else.
Yes, much more than I, his family¡
¡°Maybe it¡¯s¡ because I¡¯m a failure¡ I¡¯m¡¡±
If only I could do more¡?
¡°Hey, Ga¡¯al! How long art thou standing there! Don¡¯t just linger and keep the people away! From now on, I will perform the final techniques of my golem magic¡ bybining the five great cloud golems¡ to summon ¡®The Ultimate Perfect, Great Cloud Golem¡¯!¡±
¡°Oooh! That¡¯ll get things going again! Yay, that¡¯s the Heavenly King for ya!¡±
If I were more capable¡ I would live up to Daddy¡¯s expectations¡ instead of being a failure¡ nay¡¡
¡°¡¡ Nay¡¡ I¡.. I¡¯m no failure!¡±
I¡¯ll prove it with results.
That I am not a failure.
Daddy became a new Heavenly King. I¡ I¡¯ll make him acknowledge me¡ as his child¡!
Without fail!
¡°Hihaha¡ ah¡ young Ga¡¯al¡ you¡¯re much too shortsighted¡¡±
¡°Hmm? What¡¯s wrong? Friend.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s nothing ?.¡±
Let us sortie.
I will not push it all on Daddy alone.
¡°Everyone, it is I. Ga¡¯al. Attention all members of the Heavenly Valkyrie Knights.¡±
In the pce, I hear only the sound of my running, for most of the warriors of the pce are currently outside.
In other words, the warriors ready for battle are already waiting outside.
I will be disobeying Daddy¡¯s instructions, but with all the responsibility on my shoulders, I can send forth all the warriors who are waiting right now¡
¡°Whoa¡±
¡°Ara?¡±
Eh¡¡?
¡°Wh, what?¡±
In front of me as I went down the grand staircase of the pce and was about to exit the main gate¡
¡°Ridiculous¡ thou art¡!¡±
Why? We met on the Surface¡ the man who hurt my cheek and¡ that doll¡
¡°Hehe¡ never thought I¡¯d see you again like this.¡±
¡°Good day to you, pardon the intrusion.¡±
¡°Thou¡ scoundrels¡¡ why art thou here?¡±
Because they were in the city with the golems¡ and yet they¡¯re alone in this castle¡ for Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s rescue?
Nay, perhaps¡
¡°Where is the King of the Heavens?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Their purpose is Daddy! While others fight the golems in the square and garner attention, a small group aims for Daddy¡ with these two?
¡°¡¡ Does thou expect I would tell thee?¡±
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll beat it out of you.¡±
¡°Does thou think I shall let thee go?¡±
¡°Then, I¡¯ll push right through you.¡±
With that said, he stepped forward from the front without any hesitation.
My opponent had the leeway to have a broad smile upon his face.
¡°¡¡ I don¡¯t understand.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°¡¡ Why go so far¡¡±
¡°Because you took something important from Kron and everyone else, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡ You mean Jamdi¡¯el? Thou have no notion of how much she has¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Oh, I don¡¯t care about that stuff anymore.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
In order to save Jamdi¡¯el, the great sinner who hasmitted unforgivable sins, he has risked his life to rush from the Surface to this Heavenly World.
Why do so much? When I tried to question him, he smirked and moved forward further.
¡°It¡¯s not about who she really is, what she did, or anything like that. It¡¯s just that there were a lot of people in that country¡¡ people that I got along with¡ that don¡¯t want to lose her. I¡¯m just trying to help with that.¡±
¡°What¡ was that?¡±
¡°Yes. I just want to reward them¡¡ for epting me as me. That is my reason¡ and that¡¯s also why¡ I want to repay the debt from what you bastards have done to them!¡±
For a moment, I was perplexed by the words of the man in front of me.
A human man, shorter than I, and I suspect, much younger in age.
However, his words were¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Let¡¯s go! Breakthrough!¡±
¡°Huh!?
¡°¡¾Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
This was his unique fighting technique, he used it on the Surface!
¡°I won¡¯t allow it! Heraldic Eyes¨D¨D ¡°
However, the same technique will not work again. With my Heraldic Eye, I¡¯ll see through¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡¾Great Demon Body Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Upuh!?¡±
¡¡ see. throu¡ all? Eh? Wh¡ what is this? Internal organs¡ my body¡ deep within¡
¡°Urup, go, gaha!¡±
¡°What the hell? You have very soft abs for a guy, don¡¯t you? I can¡¯t believe you got down on one knee with one shot.¡±
Ridiculous! It¡¯s much moreplex than it looked on the Surface¡ faster¡¡ and¡.. what, in heavens is this punch!?
Nay, one blow? Against me?
On the Surface, he was already exhausted, but the truth is, this¡ had this much¡¡
¡°This is for what you have done on the Surface. If you step aside, you can keep that handsome face of yours from a beat down. But if you stand in my way, even I don¡¯t know what will happen.¡±
¡°Th¡ this¡¡±
¡°Come on, this is a raid!¡±
At that moment, the man before me, though smaller and younger than I, looked ridiculouslyrge.
Author¡¯s Note
Finally, we were able to reach today. I pray for the rest. This is thest prayer of this year.
Come on, let¡¯s break into the bookstore!
By the way, about the manga, it will be out next spring ¡ probably.
I don¡¯t know the details yet.
Chapter 203 – Recognition
Chapter 203 ¨C Recognition
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!!
¡°Are you all right, Earth?¡±
¡°Ah, don¡¯t worry. Step back. I¡¯m not going to lose.¡¯
¡°Yes, I believe in you!¡±
Until here, in the sky, above the clouds, I had done enough warming up.
My body was warm and sharp enough.
In addition, with Kron¡¯s magic eye, I¡¯m in my best condition.
¡°Ku ¡ thou art capable¡¡±
¡°My best is yet toe.¡±
I don¡¯t feel like losing.
¡°¡ Fufu ¡ so thou im¡ Boy¡¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, kids these days have no discipline, a little provocation, and they¡¯re in over their heads, right?¡±
My body blow brought him to his knee and distorted his face, but it doesn¡¯t seem like his fighting spirit will break with only one shot.
He opened the Heraldic Eye in both eyes and slowly stood up¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Nuh!¡±
As the prince tried to get up, I bent my knees and sank my body, then unleashed a low-altitude smash.
But, the swing was too big.
The prince rolled on the floor on the spot and hurriedly distanced himself from me.
I thought it was a bit of a chance, so I suddenly used a big technique, so it can¡¯t be helped¡
¡°Oh, how do you like that? The feeling of a Seraph rolling around on the floor¡±
¡°Huh, boy!¡±
And now, not only were his eyes opened, but the color of the eyes also changed.
¡°No more ¡ stay alert!¡±
I feel like he recognized me not just as a boy, but as a powerful enemy.
¡°¡¾Giga Rose Thorn¡¿!¡±
The prince, with his hands on the floor, cast a spell as he yelled.
At that moment, a thick, prickling rose vine shot out from the floor and attacked me.
If I get caught, I will be unable to move.
But, such false threats will no longer work on me.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Wha¡ eh??¡±
The shockwave on the left at the speed of sound.
If his is a giant rose whip, mine is a fist whip.
I deflected all the rose vines that reached toward me, and on the contrary, crushed them.
¡°Wha¡ thy fist? My Giga-ss magick!? Is this magick? No, martial art?¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re just idling away in thought. Do you have time for that?¡±
¡°tte¡ ¡¾Giga Rose Whip¡¿!!¡±
One after another, I crushed every vine that emerged from the floor.
As the vines were crushed and fell to the floor, I made them a blind spot and moved.
¡°Is it okay? What are you doing, making it harder for yourself to see?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
On top of that, I move around in this space with more footwork.
¡°Scampering about¡ but, however much thou move, with my Heraldic Eye¡¡±
¡°Can you catch me?¡±
The Heraldic Eye. As it is known to be legendary, having that eye is probably the basis of the prince¡¯s heart.
Certainly, if this had been my first time, I would have felt threatened by the eye¡¯s ability.
But¡¡
¡ºFear not. After all, this one was raised in a lukewarm heavenly country. You, on the other hand, have faced the Heraldic Eye of Jamdi¡¯el of the historically renowned Six Supremacy that were forged in a hundred battles, and survived. y on with confidence.¡»
That¡¯s right. This guy is¡¡ weaker than Jamdi¡¯el. There¡¯s no need to be scared.
¡°Ku, nu ¡ right? Left? Ah, the rear? Stupid¡ wha, what in heavens? Every slight¡ arms, head, nce¡¡±
¡°Even if you can see my magic, you can¡¯t see through my movements, can you? ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
The Prince tried to capture my movement with his eyes, as if to undermine what is hidden behind the movements and disrupt them, but by making meaningful and meaningless movements, he was at my mercy.
Then, I released my fist and finally caught the prince.
¡°Ugh, uh ¡ fast!? Tsu, it hurts¡¡±
¡°Oruaaaaaahh!!¡±
The prince tried to guard him by crossing his arms, but my flicker tore his skin from above the guard.
His guard was up, as if he didn¡¯t want any attack on his face. Covering your eyes, what were you doing?
If you are doing that, I¡¯ll just go with that theory¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Body Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Ubu?¡±
My shotnded again, in the exact same ce as before, not an inch of difference.
The face of the prince, as he trembled and sobbed with convulsions from his toes to the top of his head in an instant as if in agony, waspletely defenseless.
I m it into his face.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew¡¿!¡±
A fist to destroy the opponent¡¯s head. Add a twist and screw it in more.
There was a good response.
¡°Gatsu¡¡ Kah, um¡¡±
The prince ate my hit and rolled again while being knocked to the floor.
This was decisive.
His Heraldic Eye can¡¯t catch me.
¡°Nonsense¡ me¡¡ with hands and feet¡ I have the Heraldic Eye¡ that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, you got bad eyes, right?¡±
The prince looked up as if he was taken aback by my words.
However, the beautiful, sculptural face is swollen.
¡°Thou dare to hit me. Even Daddy never hit me.¡±
¡°I see. But what about it? I don¡¯t think getting hit is a good thing, but I don¡¯t feel like losing to a guy who¡¯s never been hit before.¡±
¡°Huh ¡ wh ¡ at?¡±
Even though I don¡¯t feel like losing, that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m going to underestimate him and let my guard down.
Now, the opponent may seem to be lying on the ground and full of gaps, but the prince was considering the distance between us properly, and the moment I try to close the distance, I guess he might unleash rose vines from the floor with the same magic as before, but that¡¯s not going to happen.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Straight¡¿!¡±
¡°Kuhwa?¡±
A shockwave from a distance.
Even with the Heraldic Eye, there was no way he could avoid my punch from his fallen position since he couldn¡¯t keep up with me, and the prince rolled again.
¡°Gahah¡¡ im, posible¡ me¡¡ hands and feet¡ strong¡¡ thou was¡¡ so strong?¡±
The prince was hurt by me and let out an involuntary squeak.
However, he did not crawl away as it was, but got up, whipping his aching body.
¡°But¡ no matter how strong thou art, I cannot let thee go any further! I will not¡ disappoint Daddy! For his recognition¡ I cannot lose!¡±
Shouting this, the Prince took up a stance with the will to fight in his eyes again.
And I got a little caught up in what he just said.
His father is the Heavenly King. So, I thought it was ¡°because he was my father and my family¡± that he would protect the King of the Heavens, but now he said ¡°make his father ept him¡±.
¡°What? Do you want your father¡¯s approval?¡±
¡°¡¡ Never mind¡¡ it¡¯s nothing to do with thee.¡±
The prince, who thought that he made a slip of his tongue, held his mouth in a hurry.
However, when I saw the situation, I just spoke unexpectedly.
¡°You¡¯re just trying to get your dad to recognize you¡ huh? Pretty much¡you¡¯re a narrow-minded bastard?¡±
At that moment, in my ear.
¡ºHmm, boomerang.¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar, with his arms folded, pushed in, but I ignored him.
¡°Inexcusable¡ in essence¡¡ what would thou know? What about me¡¡±
And, naturally, he reacted as always to the words I said, that I didn¡¯t know anything about his life and had nothing to do with it.
But for some reason I¡
¡°Is your father the only one in your field of vision¡ or your world?¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°You want to be recognized by your father¡ I¡¯ll make the world recognize me someday!¡±
I didn¡¯t mean to preach, and that¡¯s exactly what I said, even though it should have had nothing to do with this guy.
Then, although the prince looked slightly pouty, he immediatelyughed¡
¡°Haha¡ the world is it¡ why not save such grandeur for after thou beat me first?¡±
¡°Sure, in seconds!¡±
I rushed in and closed the distance in an instant.
The prince reacted instantly, too.
Both eyes wide open, he tried to see through my every move.
But I¡
¡°Sometimes, feints be feints, by not doing them?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
And he reacted toote after seeing my left. All ording to prior predictions.
So, I pierced all the way through¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
My left took the prince¡¯s lower jaw. The next moment, the prince crumbled in ce like a puppet with broken strings.
¡°Kah, ah¡ ah¡ ah¡¡±
From the front, a simple left jab with no tricks or feints.
On the contrary, it became a feint, and the prince was hit squarely, his brain was shaken and he went down.
Looking down at the prince who had fallen in front of me, I clenched my fist.
The prince was by no means weak. Even more so, he had a legendary magic eye.
But I was the one who won.
I wonder what it is. I¡..
¡ºIndeed, child. Are you not getting stronger? After your battles against Machio, Jamdi¡¯el, and the Dragon King of Hades, you have been further refined.¡»
¡°¡¡ oh¡¡±
And those words made me happier than anything else that could be said right now.
If Kron wasn¡¯t here, I might have thrown a guts pose in excitement.
Well, that¡¯s fine.
Even if my father doesn¡¯t recognize me¡ if there¡¯s someone who recognizes me as I am¡ At least, I¡¯m¡
¡º¡¡ As such¡¡ you are transparent¡¡»
Still, I didn¡¯t care because I was so happy, so I just did what I thought in my mind.

Chapter 204: Look Closely
Chapter 204: Look Closely
While looking down at the prince who crawls and cannot stand up, I realize that I have be stronger.
¡°Eeaarth~!¡±
¡°Whoa!¡±
Then, the goddess who had been silent all this time jumped at me with excitement.
¡°You¡¯re amazing, Earth! I knew that Earth was strong and cool, but today¡¯s Earth was better than I knew!¡±
¡°O, oh, right?¡±
¡°Hey, I, for one, am thrilled. My heart is beating so fast! I mean, Earth is so amazing~, right now. Do you understand?¡±
Kron pushed her soft body against me and hugged me while thrusting out her chest.
Oh, I¡¯m already active, but I don¡¯t know what it feels like to be a man. It¡¯s cute and embarrassing.
¡°Anyway, calm down.¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°And I¡¯m sure the King of the Heavens is up ahead.¡±
Yes, nothing is over yet.
As long as we haven¡¯t beaten the enemy boss, the golems that everyone is fighting outside won¡¯t stop either.
¡°Yes. If you lose to him, Jamdi¡¯el and everyone¡ isn¡¯t that right?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Kron, who was frolicking, also tightens her loose face again.
But¡ª¡ª
¡ºEh, child! Theye!¡»
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
The next moment, Tre¡¯ainar suddenly roared¨C
¡°If thou don¡¯t want to lose, die.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
A shadow approached from behind Kron.
They raised their hand and tried to target Kron¡¯s thin white neck¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh, tch¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
If Tre¡¯ainar hadn¡¯t told me about it¡
¡ºDo not let your guard down while telling others to calm. This is the belly of the enemy, is it not?¡»
When Tre¡¯ainar scolded me, I nodded and followed Kron.
And¡..
¡°Tch¡ couldn¡¯t kill the magic eye doll¡¡±
The man, who was disrupted by my left, was not able to kill Kron and clicked his tongue.
The man was dressed in a pure white robe, and on his back were wings, a testimony of a Seraph.
He has a scraggly white mustache, but his head was smooth and shiny.
With a sharp eye, his whole body emitted an angry atmosphere.
This guy¡
¡°Da¡.. di¡¡±
The prince, who had fallen to the floor and was crawling, muttered in a murky voice.
¡°You¡¯re¡ the Heavenly King?¡±
¡°Even standalone golems have a time limit. And I have no intention of conversing with filthy lower creatures. Die.¡±
Without answering my question, the bearded old man wasing towards me again.
Does this mean that he thinks Kron was such a threat that came to catch us off guard?
I mean, he didn¡¯t answer, but this guy¡
¡°I¡¯m most certain. If I rid myself of Kron, other soldiers can be deployed. Golemsck a decisive strike, so I must stealthily act with my own hands¡ such is how it must go. Well, for thou and Kron to be here, it was most unexpected, and yet¡¡±
There seems to be no doubt. Even though he was a king, he was very impatient.
And this is¡
¡°How careless of thee. This is an opportunity.¡±
Exactly.
¡°Kron, he¡¯sing. Don¡¯t leave my side! Get your eyes ready!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
If we defeat him here, it will all be over.
¡°Don¡¯t make light of me! Even with magical eyes, in the end she is but a little girl! If I fight by focusing only on thy feet without making eye contact, nothing can go wrong! Blow up! ¡¾Gigastorm¡¿!!¡±
¡°You¡¯vee this far, I suppose, because you don¡¯t look your opponents in the eye like that! ¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Sonic Impact¡¿!!
Even though we¡¯re indoors, he shot a powerful wind magic spell at me and Kron, but I quickly intercepted with a shockwave of the Great Magic Spiral.
¡°Nuku!? My magick¡¡±
¡°Hehe, you see. Because you don¡¯t look closely enough¡ you can¡¯t really understand the enemy in front of you.¡±
At the same time¡¡
¡°Earth, amazing ¡ kyaa, the wind¡¡±
That¡¯s right. If you don¡¯t look closely¡ closely¡¡ White¡¡ String¡¡ not that!
¡ºOi!!¡»
Yes, this is the one I have to keep my eyes on and blow away.
¡°Uoraaaaaaaaah!!
¡°Tch!¡±
The sh of the storm and spiral created violent whirlwinds and turbulence in the pce, destroying the walls.
As a result, they canceled each other out.
¡°Thou¡¡±
¡°Hehe, did you finally see me?¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
However, even though we were evenly matched, from the King of the Heavens¡¯ point of view, he may not have thought that I could use a technique as powerful as his, and like the prince, he had a surprised expression on his face as he looked at me.
And then¡¡
¡°Daddy¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Ga¡¯al¡¡±
¡°Hah~, hah~¡ Daddy¡¡ be wary¡ he is¡¡ strong.¡±
The Prince was almost blown away by the sh of our techniques, but he crawled to the feet of his father, the Heavenly King.
To the child who is worried about his father¡ a child who fought against the enemy but was defeated and covered with wounds on the floor . . .
¡°Imbecile! If thou were better¡with the Heraldic Eye, what is this plight?¡±
¡°Guh!¡±
¡°How far will thou go to disappoint me?¡±
The father trampled on his fallen child.
¡°In ce of the former King of the Heavens, who was content with such small environs without expanding our world for over a thousand years, I, as an apostle of the true god, have the responsibility to expand the world, supervise it and guide all life. And if thou, the Son of the King, should be so useless¡how utterly disappointing.¡±
That is¡¡ the Heavenly King? King?
He just looked like a domestic violence bastard to me.
¡°How terrible¡ my goodness¡¡±
It was a scene that even Kron had to hold her mouth shut to.
Good, I¡¯m not the only one.
The scene unfolding in front of me was absolutely appalling.
But that¡¯s not all.
¡°That eye is wasted on thee. Hey, Ga¡¯al¡ gouge out those eyes and hand them over to me.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°If thou disapprove, take off your clothes and conceive my child! Oh, yes, that would be better! Thou who was born in exchange for the death of my beloved wife!¡±
¡°¡¡ Daddy¡¡ Wha, what¡ the.¡±
¡°Then, I shall have a more decent heir this time¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
My anger has reached its peak, and I¡¯m at a loss what to say.
That prince, too, his expression was saddened by so much of his father¡¯s remarks, and he looked weak, as if he were a child or a woman.
Have you gone mad? Are you crazy? A father to his own son ugh I feel nauseous¡ yeah¡¡ I can¡¯t take it anymore.
¡°What the hell are you doing?¡±
¡°Fugu!¡±
The fucker was yapping about something, but my hand was out before I noticed.
The Heavenly King, who waspletely off guard, was punched out by me, and somehow regained his posture and stopped, but bled from his cheek.
¡°Thou wretch! What! In the first ce, this nothing has to do with thee¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Shut it! If you don¡¯t want to love your child, then don¡¯t meddle in your child¡¯s life any more. Shut your mouth already, you bastard.¡±
¡°¡¡ Wh, at? Wh¡ towards me¡¡±
Well, in a way, this is¡ after all, I felt somewhat ufortable at first.
¡°Well, for the time being, I don¡¯t have to hesitate to blow him away. I¡¯m d you¡¯re such a piece of shit.¡±
Striking at the enemy¡¯s country and knocking the king of the other country was something that can¡¯t be undone¡ so¡¡ I was relieved.
¡°Hmm¡ this is why¡the ignorant folk. Thou know nothing. My friend taught me. I am the apostle of God who controls the world and guides all life¡ why art thou so ignorant?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not how you get people to understand.¡±
The Heavenly King sighed, as if mocking and making fun of people. I was not in the mood to listen to what he had to say.
¡°Kron¡±
¡°Yes¡±
¡°I¡¯ll make an opening and give the signal. Then¡ can I count on you?¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes.¡±
If Kron listens to me, and Tre¡¯ainar gives me the best timing¡
¡ºFu~, child¡ huh?¡»
Then it was then.
¡ºThis Heavenly King¡ insane eyes¡ incoherent remarks¡ missing hair¡ short-tempered personality¡ solid footing at the moment, but¡ hmm¡¡ surely not¡¡»
Somehow, beside me, Tre¡¯ainar had a difficult expression at the Heavenly King, as if he was concerned about something else.

Chapter 205: I Can Do It Too
Chapter 205: I Can Do It Too
¡°I am King! An apostle of God! No, I am a God now! All who defy me shall be put to death!¡±
¡°Geez, Prince¡ you really have love for such a scum of a father? I mean, will being recognized by someone like this make you happy? Or maybe, is this normal in this country? Cultural difference, is it?¡±
The Heavenly King shouted with madness and emitted raging magical power from his whole body.
¡°Silence, silence, be silent! I had surrendered to a thousand years of mise and futility¡ but I have awakened! My friend taught me! I am the King! The lowly creatures that pollute the Surface! They must be exterminated and ruled! I shall build a new legion of God! Jamdi¡¯el, the doll, and Ga¡¯al, I shall rip out their eyes, and have them give birth to my progeny, surely the strongest¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!!¡±
No more, I¡¯m beyond disgusted and offended, I¡¯m justpletely fed up with him.
I strike with the shockwave of my left whip.
¡°Nu, this¡ braaaaaaat!!¡±
I didn¡¯t want to talk any more.
And then¡¡
¡°Heavenly King!¡±
¡°¡¡ Nu?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what it means to be a parent and child ¡ or to have children¡ but I¡¯ll just say this! I, will never have your child! I don¡¯t want to!¡±
Kron, who had been leaning against my back, stepped forward and said to the King of the Heavens.
¡°What was that? A doll should not be so impertinent! Thy will doesn¡¯t matter! I am¨D¨D¨D¨D me! ¡¾Giga Wind Cutter¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Corkscrew¡¿!¡±
I can¡¯t stand hot-tempered bald old men¡ I¡¯m so mad that I can¡¯t stand it anymore.
Does it mean so much to this guy that we¡¯vee this far?
¡°Don¡¯t move ahead, Kron. Step back a little¡¡±
¡°Earth, I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Back on the Surface¡¡±
Then, as I had Kron step back because she was in danger, she pulled on my arm, and smiled sadly next to me.
¡°Me and Jamdi¡¯el¡ we were telling you the same thing as the King of the King, weren¡¯t we?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
For a moment I had no idea what she was talking about. I mean, what are you saying at a time like this¡
¡°I wanted your baby, so I asked you to take me. Jamdi¡¯el also tried to force you and me together. But for you¡¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°What I felt just now when the Heavenly King said that to me¡ you were thinking that too, weren¡¯t you?¡±
No¡.. well, it¡¯s not that I hate it that much¡ it¡¯s just that men and women think differently about these things, and Kron is cute. I mean, I don¡¯t care about that now¡ no, because it¡¯s now?
But¡¡
¡°But you understood me, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡ I won¡¯t say anything like the King of the Heavens anymore. I want to have your child. I want to have a child with you¡ only when you feel the same¡ then we will be able to truly love our newborn child.¡±
At times like this, it was really inappropriate, but weughed at each other, it was kind of embarrassing.
On the other hand¡
¡°Earth, that¡¯s why¡¡ let¡¯s not only knock out that Heavenly King¡ but once he¡¯s calm¡ can¡¯t we talk calmly with him?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
That was quite unexpected.
¡°What art thou saying! Die, perish, vanish! Be gone from my sight!¡±
We were under the fury of the Heavenly King¡¯s magic, and we didn¡¯t have the luxury of time.
¡°Wha, we don¡¯t have that leeway! I mean, there¡¯s no point in talking to that guy! Why would you do that¡¡±
¡°Earth, you said, that it¡¯s ¡¡ narrow-minded for that prince to try so hard just to get acknowledged by a father like that.¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah ¡ oh.¡±
¡°Maybe that¡¯s the case for you. For someone as strong and great as you. But somehow, I understand how the Prince feels.¡±
¡°What¡?¡±
The magic of the Heavenly King was being unleashed without a break.
Even though we were no longer in the pce, he was rampaging without any concern for damage to the buildings or the surroundings.
In the midst of this situation, Kron said that.
Rather than the Heavenly King, Kron spoke for the prince.
¡°Because I¡¯m the same¡¡±
¡°Same? How are you and the prince¡¡±
¡°Earth. Jamdi¡¯el, to you¡ and the world outside of the Cacretale¡ and to the people of this world¡ she has done terrible things, hasn¡¯t she?¡±
Kron said something like that about Jamdi¡¯el, wistfully.
That¡¯s what we talked about on the Surface as well.
An enemy of humanity. A Six Supremacy. And even here in the Heavenly world, she once did a lot of terrible things to herpatriots.
That was the past of Jamdi¡¯el that Kron did not know.
But still¡
¡°Still, I can¡¯t hate Jamdi¡¯el. I want to be acknowledged. I want to be praised. I want Jamdi¡¯el to be ¡ pleased with me. That¡¯s what I want.¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I¡ I want to ask the King of the Heavens.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Kron was serious.
From my perspective, I couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡°That guy¡¯s shit, get rid of him right away¡±.
For me, who had run away from home and now had Tre¡¯ainar by my side, I would have thought, ¡°I¡¯m not that bothered if my father and family can¡¯t recognize me¡±.
But Kron empathized with the Prince.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¡°There¡¯s a point in meddling on this. There¡¯s a limit in how involved you can be in other¡¯s family affairs. Beside, this crazy bastard¡¯s too far gone to even try to have a talk with, it¡¯s impossible, isn¡¯t it?¡±
You still want to do that? Talk to that old man? I asked Kron.
And that¡¯s when it happened.
¡ºWrong, perhaps not so unexpected?¡»
¡°Eh!?
¡ºThat Heavenly King¡ tis not so much what he has gone through so far¡ rather¡ the proportion of side effects¡¡ may be grand.¡»
¡¸¡¡ What?¡±
¡ºUnravel the truth, and you may certainly manage it. You may be able to reach his consciousness with Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eye.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar spoke as if he were somewhat sure of what he was saying.
With those words, he seemed to say, ¡°the Heavenly King is not just crazy¡±.
¡°¡¡ th¡¡ ou¡¡±
Then, listening to Kron¡¯s words, the prince lying on the floor raised his face.
Pitifully, his eyes moistened with tears, a weak expression on his face. He looked like an abandoned dog¡
¡°Certainly¡ if you use your Daybreak Eye, it will do something¡ it seems¡¡±
¡°Eh? Is that so?¡±
¡°It could¡ but¡ you, are you in a pity party?¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°What do you think we¡¯re doing here!¡±
What I said was not entirely wrong. This is nothing but meddling.
Isn¡¯t that right?
¡ºTis so. It means nothing.¡»
You see¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar too¡
¡ºAs such, you should get on with it and defeat that foolish king. We need not help this country, this world, this royalty, or anything else.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
What? You¡¯re telling me, ¡°that¡¯s right¡±, but you¡¯re somewhat testing me¡ and¡.. what¡¯s tugging at my heart?
Kron¡¯s words¡ and¡¡ the Prince¡¯s face¡
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºWhat is it?¡»
In my heart I ask Tre¡¯ainar.
¡¸I¡¯m not like my father. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t go on the path he wants me to go, and I have no obligation or duty to do the same thing he did.¡¹
¡ºTis so.¡»
¡¸Then, dare I ask. What would my father do¡ in a situation like this?¡¹
¡ºTis obvious. That single-celled idiot does not think¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
Oh, I knew that. I knew it even before I asked Tre¡¯ainar for an answer.
I¡¯m sure my father would say something like this.
I¡¯ll save them all. Leave it to me.
Because I can easily imagine the scene¡ and¡.. my father has the power to do it, so he would say that.
And, I suppose, it can actually be done.
¡°I¡¯m not like my father, so I don¡¯t have to do the same thing.¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡ºTis so. There is no need for it.¡»
But¡¡
¡°Is there something that my father can do and I can¡¯t?¡±
Apart from that, just because I don¡¯t have to do something doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t do it.
So if I want to do it, I can.
¡ºFufu, tis easy to say anything with just your mouth.¡»
Then I¡¯ll prove it.
¡°Kron¡¡ Either way, it¡¯s no use trying to seal his movements¡¡±
¡°Eh¡?¡±
¡°So¡ when I take him down, do whatever you want.¡±
¡°Huh!? Hmm ¡ yes!¡±
That¡¯s all right, isn¡¯t it? Tre¡¯ainar.
If you can¡¯t seem to do the same thing as your father, then how can you go beyond your father and be recognized by the world?
I can do it too.
So let¡¯s do it!

¡°Here we go! Breakthrough! ¡¾Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
¡°Nu!? This brat¡ just shuffles about! I aaaaaam, emineeeeeeeeeent!
A measly trick¡ such disillusioned swaying¡ makes me more frustrated and hurts my head.
Moreover, the extent to which he darts about, there is no opportunity to cast great magick¡ no¡ I¡¯m losing my focus¡ but ¡®that¡¯¡I must ingest ¡®that¡¯¡ but if I try to do anything other than attack¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Tch, ¡¾Mega Wind Wall¡¿!!¡±
His fists fly. Even though blocked by the wall of wind, if not careful, even this wall will be pierced lightly.
Drat¡¡ once again¡¡ if only I¡ could take that again¡ nay! What am I thinking?
¡°Heavenly King, try to catch me!¡±
I need not rely on such a thing for this lowly brat¡ I¡¯m a king!
¡°¡¾Mega Wind Cutter¡¿! ¡¾Mega Wind Cutter¡¿! ¡¾Mega Wind Cutter¡¿!¡±
¡°Whoa¡¡±
¡°My des of wind shall cut thee to shreds!¡±
Its power is inferior, but it fires continuously in exchange.
He will not evade forever!
And yet¡¡
¡°Hmm¡ it¡¯s getting rougher and rougher¡¡±
Why! Why does that brat smile¡ is he mocking me?
¡°Oh, don¡¯t think thou can remain so flippant!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not flippant. I¡¯m keeping my eyes open and¡ also sharpening my concentration¡¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
He smiles, why? Those eyes. Is he plotting something¡ some goal? Concentration?
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡ I get it. The opponent¡¯s blind spot¡ out of sight and thought¡ right?¡±
On the contrary, what is he? Talking to himself? Nay, it¡¯s as if he talks with someone¡ nay, for me¡
¡°It¡¯s no concern of mine! I shall slice thee up and dispose of thee on the Surface! ¡¾Mega Wind Cutter¡¿!¡±
Whatever thy plot, I shall crush you!
¡°Earth!
¡°Tch!¡±
Yes, if the brat moves about, just aim for that doll.
Sure enough, that brat stopped to protect the doll!
¡°Earth! Ah¡
¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s not much magic.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
He¡¯s sturdy. But there¡¯s damage to his legs and arms.
He will wander around no longer.
¡°Not yet! Stay down, Kron!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take care of it! Because I can do it! So stay down till ¡®the time¡¯es!¡±
Still, thou talks with such a big mouth and have such eyes? Then more¡
¡°Or rather, hey.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Your son is here too you bastard¡¡±
Son? Of mine?
¡°¡¡ guh¡ Daddy¡¡±
Yes¡¡ Come to think of it, he copsed¡ art thou too injured to get involved?
In the first ce, does thou still crawl in such a ce?
¡°This foolish¡ failure! Unlike me, utterly useless! Nay!¡±
¡°Da¡ di¡¡±
Utterly deplorable.
Such a foolish, failure¡
¡°That¡¯s¡ is there really any point to talking with someone like this? Would you be happy if he recognized you? Well¡¡ I¡¯ll make a ce for it¡¡±
¡°Nu?¡±
That brat again¡ on top of that¡¡ that¡¡ condescending look in his eyes¡ the way his eyes look down on my personage!
Fools all of them, because they can¡¯t understand me, they looked down on me¡ with such eyes¡!
¡°This brat! To look down on me with such eyes! Who art thou showing such eyes to?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think a man who looks at his kid like that should care about people¡¯s eyes!¡±
¡°Die¡¡ along with all who are foolish enough to look down at¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Why look at me with such eyes? Everyst one of them. Everyone¡¡ I, who am I ¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Huh!!??¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Phantom Punch¡¿!!¡±
¡¡ wh¡ at? Just now¡¡ something¡
¡°Shockwave version of the Phantom Punch¡±
¡°¡?¡±
¡°The control to pierce through the eye of the needle and the little shockwave from my small swing, your wind magic became a blind spot that let me drive a hit in.¡±
¡°Kah¡¡ ah¡¡±
Something touched my jaw¡ the world is spinning¡ regardless of my will, my consciousness was almost lost.
¡°I punched him out, he¡¯s not unconscious¡ but¡¡ this is fine! Kron!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been waiting! King of the Heavens! I¡¯m stripping you naked! Magic Eye Skill, ¡¾Tweet of Bygone Days¡¿!¡±
Suddenly, the eyes of that doll that came forward glowed and enveloped around me.
¡°What¡?¡±
¡°First of all, you will tell me. Tell us about yourself¡¡ and how you came to be this way¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
And at that moment, many things ran through my mind in an instant.
Why did I do this in the first ce?
I, as a King and an apostle of God, only tried to fulfill my responsibilities.
¡¸Captain Dekte¡¯ita. i, its useless¡ the traitor, Jamdi¡¯el¡ is too strong¡¡¹
¡¸Killed¡ we¡¯re to be killed¡ we should never havee down to the Surface¡¡¹
¡¸Even if we hide like this, it¡¯s only a matter of time before she finds us¡¡¹
Why do I remember this now?
¡¸Tch¡¡ no choice¡¡ we return to the country at once to rethink our strategy¡¡¹
¡¸Even if I say to return¡ once the battle is set up, Jamdi¡¯el will never allow our escape¡¡¹
¡¸Oh, that¡¯s right. So¡¡ thou must fight and buy time.¡¹
¡¸Wh!? What¡ w, will thou not fight with us?¡¹
¡¸I am not one to die here! A venerable nobleman of the Heavens¡ the value of life is different between thou and I! In the first ce, will we all be annihted here¡ will one of thee survive¡ or perhaps I shall survive¡ which do thou think is the best choice! I will make sure thy families arepensated! They will know that thou fought bravely to the end. Therefore, go forth in peace!¡¹
Where did I go wrong? What is my life? Nay, I¡¯m not wrong. I¡¯ve lived a righteous life.
No matter the sacrifice, I am the one who must not die.
The chosen of the Seraph tribe¡ the king¡¯s hand¡ nay, a legitimate lineage even worthy of bing King¡
¡¸Say, did thou hear? The other day, the Jamdi¡¯el subjugation operation.¡¹
¡¸Aye, apparently, he¡¯s the sole survivor¡¡¹
¡¸Tch, the ipetent with only his family name¡ I¡¯d rather even a single young soldier survives than him¡¡¹
¡¸And yet he ims that he will one day be the Heavenly King?¡¹
¡¸Ha, such conceit, even though that¡¯s impossible.¡¹
No matter what the ipetent petty citizens say, I will not be beaten.
My existence, the chosen of the elite, is heaviest of all.
¡¸Thou know nothing¡ foolish¡ and pathetic¡ most of all, thou remain ignorant of that¡¡¹
Yes¡¡ there was only one person.
Even though I often receive their cheeky tongue¡ she was the only one from whom I allowed it¡
¡¸Thou still aims to be a King, then I¡¯ll show thee how tiny thou art¡.¡¹
She was a strict woman. Should I make any folly, she pped me on the cheek.
But whether I¡¯m wrong or not, she was the woman who saw me as I am¡ so I allowed it¡ and, gradually we changed.
But¡¡
¡¸Lord Dekte¡¯ita¡ thy wife is in considerable danger. Even if she gives birth to the child, the mother¡¯s body is¡¡¹
¡¸Nu¡ then¡¡ do I abandon the child? Atst, a life born between I and my wife¡ a Seraph woman can only bear a child once in her lifetime¡¡¹
¡¸But not at the cost of her life. After all, the child in her womb¡ it bears the Heraldic Eye. Therefore, all her magickal power will flow to the child. However, if thou acts now¡¡¹
¡¸¡ Ku¡ That¡¯s right¡ for my wife¡¯s life¡ I¡¯m sorry¡ my child¡ I¡¯m sorry, but¡¡¹
For my wife, who was frail to begin with, childbirth was far more severe than we had imagined.
It was particrly life-threatening.
I was determined to save my wife¡¯s life, so I tried to pour magick into the child in her womb and abort the child.
However, my wife squeezed her lifeforce and repelled my magick.
¡¸Nay¡ absolutely not¡¡¹
At that moment, my wife was the very definition of a mother protecting her child at the risk of her own life.
¡¸What¡ art thou so intent on this birth?¡¹
¡¸¡¡ Yes¡¡¹
¡¸Eh, th¡ then give birth! In exchange, I will not tolerate failure! Thou must give birth! No matter what, thou will give birth to our child! A child born of us! Without a doubt, thou should be the bearer of the future of the Seraphs!¡¹
Yes¡¡ that day¡ I saw¡ one life was lost, but I saw a new life sprouting¡ yes¡ life is¡
¡¸Was life always so heavy¡ or is it just me¡ this life¡ of mine¡ should I have survived ¡¡ in exchange for those who once had a future ¡¡ sacrificed for me? Nay. I never even realized¡ such a needles life¡¡¹
That¡¯s why I reconsidered the weight of the lives I once abandoned¡ so¡¡
¡¸Jamdi¡¯el, I¡ I shall subdue Jamdi¡¯el! I shall take responsibility for my actions! To avenge those who sacrificed for me¡ I will¡¡ avenge them, I will¡¡ avenge them! Even at the cost of my life, I will defeat Jamdi¡¯el and the King of the Demons who drew her in!¡¹
I really meant to fight¡ even die for it¡ the moment I held my newborn child, I knew the weight of the life I once abandoned, and for that purpose¡ however¡¡
¨D¨D Hence forth, the subjugation of Jamdi¡¯el and interference with the Surface is forbidden. No longer can we allow any more victims. All for the sake of the peace of the Heavenly world. The kingdom will also be moved, drifting in the skies where Jamdi¡¯el and her ilk cannot interfere.
That was the decision of the predecessor king.
Surely you jest¡ then how can the souls of the dead attain peace?
¨D¨D Thou disobeyed the King¡¯s decree? Dekte¡¯ita. However noble thou may be, this cannot be overlooked. Therefore, thou will be imprisoned. Brace thyself for hundreds of years of imprisonment?
At first, I didn¡¯t know anything¡ until I lost something irretrievable¡ and when I tried to act at least to at least make amends, I was condemned again¡ so what should I have done?
What should I do¡¡?
¡¸Congrattions on your release¡ Daddy¡¡¹
¡¸Nu? Art thou¡ Ga¡¯al?¡¹
By the time I got out of confinement, I was perplexed by the sight of my own child, who had grown up so differently, and at the same time I felt inferior.
Although neither his mother nor his father was by his side, Ga¡¯al had grown up strong. In fact, unlike me, he was adored, recognized, and admired by people all over the country.
He had the brains, the strength, and the talent of his Heraldic Eye.
When he smiles at me, I only feel pity for myself and wonder if I am being looked down upon by my own child.
I have no dignity as a father.
However, it is only natural.
While I was imprisoned, this Heavenly world was at peace, and moreover, the Demon King¡¯s Army, to which Jamdi¡¯el belonged, had been destroyed.
What in Heavens am I to do¡
¡¸Hihahahaha, you did nothing wrong. You are really the chosen one. It¡¯s everyone else who is stupid enough not to know it.¡¹
Yes¡¡ was that the moment? It was when I met the wandering traveler who suddenly emerged from the Surface world.
¡¸What do thou say? My life is full of mistakes and meaningless¡ I¡¯ve done many irreparable things¡ I can¡¯t even properly face my child because I feel as if he looks down on me.¡¹
¡¸Nope. The wrong ones are the Heavenly King and the Seraphs too stupid to realize it. Your potential is different from other Seraphs. Even if you don¡¯t have a magic eye, you will not be outdone by your kid. If that potential is awakened, it will surpass even Jamdi¡¯el¡ so you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. You are the one Seraph who should survive at all costs.¡¹
¡¸Potential? What nonsense? As if there is any such thing in me¡ even if I know such a thing now, generally¡ I don¡¯t need that kind of power anymore, do I? The Demon King¡¯s army has fallen, hasn¡¯t it?¡¹
¡¸But Jamdi¡¯el isn¡¯t dead. She¡¯s alive. Have thest few hundred years been peaceful? How can you be sure that the next hundred years will remain peaceful? there is nothing more frightening than a Jamdi¡¯el who has lost her Lord and fallen into despair. Even if she¡¯s just hiding now, she¡¯s bound toe out into the open sooner orter.¡¹
¡¸Nu¡¡¹
¡¸Right now, it is not fully grown, but¡ when the next king is raised, Jamdi¡¯el will surely rise again to have that king take the world. And once they destroy the Surface, that madness will naturally turn to the Heavens.¡¹
I can do nothing¡ not even talk straight with my own child¡ before me, who lived quietly in hiding, with nothing to do and no one to talk to, interact with, or engage with¡ appeared this man who became familiar with me.
I haven¡¯t talked to anyone that much in a long time¡
¡¸Besides, if the war between the Surface world and the Demon Realm is over, don¡¯t you think the humans wille for the Heavens next anyway? Those are the ones who defeated Jamdi¡¯el and the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar. A threat stronger than the two¡ don¡¯t you think?¡¹
¡¸Huh!?¡¹
¡¸Then you will be the king and protect everything. A coup¡ no¡¡ it¡¯s a crusade. I fully support you. You see, we¡¯re best friends, aren¡¯t we?¡¹
And the man was a bbermouth, but for some reason I listened to his words¡
¡¸Here¡ I¡¯ll give you this potion and needle.¡¹
¡¸What? What is.. this potion? And this needle?¡¹

Chapter 207: Intermission (Father) â‘¡
Chapter 207: Intermission (Father) ¢Ú
The barrier around Cacretale, which had prevented any contact in the past few months, had been lifted.
Earth may be there.
That Jamdi¡¯el may have something to do with it.
Just thinking about it, how many times I had considered forcefully breaking the barrier.
But I wasn¡¯t allowed to do that, and for thest three months all Mamu and I could do was pray.
But those days are finally¡
¡°As I have mentioned before, in order to reach Cacretale, you must negotiate for entry through the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bethreal. There is also a pre-application inspection which will include the purpose of travel, the number of people entering the country, the size of the ship to be anchored, the duration of stay, and even restrictions on weapons and magic.¡±
¡°Rumor has it that the civil war has been intense in recent years, so the immigration process may have to be very strict. Along with that, you will also have to pay an entry fee to Cacretale and even an intermediary fee to the Kingdom of Bethreal.¡±
¡°Furthermore, if you wish to go to Cacretale by sea, you must notify the Navy Admiral of the ¡®Kingdom of Zengeva¡¯, which ims the waters in that area as its territorial waters.¡±
¡°It¡¯s grave, Lord Hiro! The Kingdom of Betrayal applied for entry to Cacretale immediately after the boundary fell, but it seems that the contact point has changed due to the victory of the opposition, and it seems that they are currently trying tomunicate with the new contact point, but they can¡¯t seem to make contact at all¡ something may have happened!¡±
We couldn¡¯t just fly in, ignoring the procedure, even though our beloved son might be there.
¡°We can¡¯t get you into Cacretale!¡±
I fell down with my head in my hands at the sound of that voice.
Cacretale, a secluded nation that has been out of contact for the past three months.
However, the Empire, which is also a member of the Union, is strictly prohibited from interfering with ornding on Cacretale without permission.
I couldn¡¯t do anything about it, but it was only the other day that the barrier finally came down.
I had been preparing for the application procedure for thest three months, so I thought it would go through right away, but in the end it doesn¡¯t look like that will happen anytime soon.
In addition¡¡
¡°Lord Hiro, we¡¯ve got trouble! The princess we brought back to the Imperial City¡ Rebal¡ Fu ¡ and the daughter of the Paiper family, the Ninja Warrior of Japone¡ the five of them disappeared. ording to the report, there is an operational method of Space Transfer Magic in Fu Meday¡¯s room¡ possibly mastered in thest three months¡¡±
It seems while we adults were idly lounging around, the next generation quickly moved by skipping the bothersome stuff.
I was dazzled by it and felt sorry for myself.
¡°Well¡ this is the only way to go.¡±
¡°Really. It¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve gone on a date. On the ocean, on a boat, just flirting.¡±
¡°Then we drifted off and got lost. What a mess.¡±
¡°Ah, do I see an ind over there? Are we saved?
¡°Ooh, that¡¯s right. We¡¯re gonna make it. Let¡¯s go for the time being.¡±
If the barrier was down, this is the only option.
Mamu and I rowed a small boat from a spot far from Cacretale and arrived by chance, like castaways.
Of course, this was kept secret from the Union, Old man Mikado, and the Imperial City.
Of course, it¡¯s our responsibility. Well, if anything happens to us, we¡¯ll probably be fired¡
¡°Hmm¡ when I was a kid¡ I was annoyed by the rules that adults decided and bound, so I always lost my temper and broke those rules. I remember Old man Mikado would get mad at me every time I did that.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. At that time, I thought that if I quickly grew up and became a big shot, then I could do anything I wanted¡¡±
¡°Ah! I can¡¯t do anything now¡ what am I doing ¡ really.¡±
As we rowed the small boat, Imented our own pettiness with Mamu.
It took us this long just to go to our missing son.
¡°It¡¯s all my fault.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s mine.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s my fault! I¡¯ve been neglecting him all this time.
¡°And so did I! In the first ce¡ I should have just quit my job and been a mother¡ not push everything to Sadiz¡¡±
¡®You weren¡¯t in a position to quit easily either. It can¡¯t be helped. I¡¯m still the father and it¡¯s my responsibility.¡±
How many times have we had this exchange in thest three months?
We¡¯re both ming ourselves, and repeating things that don¡¯t make any sense.
¡°But after all it¡¯s me, I¡ if I had caught him in Cantidan! If only I had noticed Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s approach!¡±
¡°Erm¡¡well¡that is.¡±
¡°¡¡ huh?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s just, that woman is basically a mass of madness full of disastrous air and you didn¡¯t notice she was approaching until thest minute¡¡±
¡°Hey! I, if you¡¯re going to say that, then why did you go out of the Imperial City with your head held high, saying, ¡®No matter what, I¡¯ll find Earth!¡¯ only to leave the Imperial City, and go to Inai City, in apletely different direction?¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡ that¡¯s¡¡±
Well, in other words, no matter how many times we¡¯ve talked over the past three months, all we¡¯ve been able to say to each other is that we¡¯re both idiots and unfit to be parents.
There¡¯s no way to make up for it.
But so what do we do now? Give up?
That¡¯s the one thing I couldn¡¯t do.
Even if Earth doesn¡¯t recognize us as parents anymore¡
¡°Finally¡ we arrived. So this is Cacretale.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
With these thoughts in mind, Mamu and I finally reached the shoreline of Cacretale.
I¡¯ve been to various countries so far, but this was my first timending here.
There were no buildings or people on the beach, but the first thing that caught my attention was¡
¡°It¡¯s so devastated.¡±
¡°Yes. It¡¯s like something fought¡ and was destroyed.¡±
Deste coastlines and vegetation. It wasn¡¯t like that originally, and it was obviously broken by someone¡¯s hand, it was rough, and there were holes everywhere.
As if there was a fierce battle¡
¡°There¡¯s some residual magic, and it¡¯s a ratherrge one.¡±
¡°Maybe there is a living area over there¡
¡°What¡¯s going on? For now¡ I don¡¯t feel like they¡¯re fighting, but¡¡±
¡°And¡¡±
There was a civil war for a while, and there was information that it ended recently, but it seems that something has happened in the past few days.
And¡..
¡°That¡¯s a lot of people, huh.¡±
¡°Yeah. That¡¯s right¡¡±
The nces and the signs of people looking our way. Their power may not be that big a deal, but they¡¯re clearly wary of us.
Well, from their point of view, we may be intruders, and I suppose it¡¯s natural.
Now ¡¡ we may manage to pose as harmless drifters and get some information¡
¡°Who are you people? What are you doing in this country?¡±
But before we could say anything, the people who were hiding appeared.
Dozens appeared in a swarm, some young, some old, and some women who appeared to be sisters.
They were all hostile, pointing to us with brooms, axes, kitchen knives, and other everyday items as weapons.
But none of them look like warriors or soldiers of this country, but civilians.
¡°This country does not tolerate unauthorized entry from the outside!¡±
And, a man talked to us as their representative. Still a kid? Is he about Earth¡¯s age?
¡°Oraa! If you attack this country, we¡¯ll show you no mercy!¡±
¡°This country, is ours to protect!¡±
¡°Um, please don¡¯t be a dangerous person¡¡±
They all set themselves up for us, but they don¡¯t have much strength¡ but, ¡°these four¡± brothers¡ they seemed to be training a little bit¡
¡°H, hey¡. Mortriage ¡ they don¡¯t look like bad people, but¡ what do you think?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, but now without the High Priestess or Goddess¡ and the country is in this situation¡ we can¡¯t just let outsiders in without permission.¡±
For the time being, neither I nor Mamu carried any visible weapons. We were ready to take them out at any time, though.
That¡¯s why we don¡¯t give off the vibe of pirates or some other country that hase to attack, so the people who surrounded us seemed a little confused.
The sisters and the elderly were consulting with young people as if they were a little troubled.
And then¡¡
¡°Oraa! You don¡¯t know if it¡¯s an enemy or not, right? Maybe they are trying to catch us off guard! After all, those Seraphs messed up our country like that! I won¡¯t let that happen again!¡±
And the brawny brother violently raised a loud voice, but what he said was quite righteous.
I knew something was up. Does it have anything to do with the barriering down?
Even so, Seraphs¡
¡°At least we can¡¯t let anyone in now! I promised Earth! He said he¡¯d leave it to us while he was away! That¡¯s why we¡¯re going to protect this country while they¡¯re gone!¡±
Seraphs? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Jamdi¡¯el¡ huh?
¡°H, hey, Hiro¡ he¡¡ just now¡¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
For a moment I thought I had misheard him, but there was no mistaking it.
He just said ¡°Earth¡±.
¡°Wait wait, hey, you!¡±
¡°Ora, what!¡±
¡°That, now, you just said Earth¡ as in Earth Lagann!?¡±
¡°Wha¡ eh you¡ how the hell do you know our friend ¡¡ Earth!¡±
At that moment, not only the energetic fellows, but also other people and sister-like women looked surprised.
And, friend?
¡°Mamu!¡±
¡°Yes, I knew it¡ I knew it, Earth is here!¡±
After all, there was no doubt. Earth is in this country.
I was so happy that I almost cried, and Mamu and I shouted with that feeling in our heart.
¡°I¡¯m Hiro Lagann! Earth¡¯s father!¡±
¡°I¡¯m Mamu Lagann! Earth¡¯s mother!¡±
What right did we have to say that? But we had no choice but to shout that.
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Even if Earth doesn¡¯t ept us¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±There is no way that¡¯s true?¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Eh?¡±¡±
But, I didn¡¯t think that we wouldn¡¯t be epted even by the people I met for the first time.
They looked astonished at what we said, and immediately shouted that¡
¡°How the heck are you Earth¡¯s father and mother? He¡¯s the same age as us!¡±
¡°Then how could his parents be that young!¡±
¡°Earth¡¯s parents? That man¡¯s parents are still¡can¡¯t be.¡±
¡°I mean, that girl¡ isn¡¯t she younger than us?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯re much better off iming to be Earth¡¯s sister!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t be fooled by such an obvious lie!?¡±
At that moment, Mamu and I were stunned and smiled bitterly.
Because in the Imperial City, there was no one who didn¡¯t know us as parents and child, so I¡¯ve never been told that we don¡¯t look like parents and child.
¡°Oh¡ ahahaha, I wonder why I still look so young? Well, I¡¯m an eternal teen?¡±
¡°Well¡ your bust hasn¡¯t changed for more than a decade¡¡±
¡°Hmm!? Hey, when I gave birth to Earth, they swelled up a little!¡±
¡°But they deted quickly¡ no, when Earth was a baby, you were always crying about it¡ and your breasts were overtaken by Sadiz when she was about ten years old¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Shut up, you idiot!¡±
Anyway, it took me a while to get people to believe me and Mamu.
Author¡¯s Note
Well, the city was shining yesterday. Yes, December 24th was the historic day when Apollo 8 flew around the moon for the first time in the world, and broadcast the image of the moon live to Earth. I suppose everyone was excited to remember that day forever. Yesterday I was celebrating such a historic day by biting on fried chicken alone at home.
And today, when I woke up, fried chicken bones and an empty beer can were lying on my bedside¡
Oh, illustrations of the parents and Sadiz¡ Ph¡¡ Phi? Phia¡ the princess has already been published, and I will put it here. Scroll down.

Chapter 208: The Black Sage
Chapter 208: The ck Sage
The memories of the Heavenly King flowed into my brain through Kron¡¯s magic eye.
I was wondering if there was a lot going on with this guy, but in the middle of the memory, Tre¡¯ainar suddenly looked surprised.
It was a man who appeared in the middle of the Heavenly King¡¯s memory.
The man had no wings like the Seraph tribe.
But, he was not human either.
¡°¡¡ Ah¡¡±
¡°Oh, is that¡ the man who appeared in the memory¡?¡±
He had long brown hair, his bangs all flowing backwards, and his ¡°pointed ears¡± had many piercings.
Light green skin. shy sses with the lens painted yellow.
¡°Hiahahahah, Good day to you all!¡±
A mysterious man in shy rainbow-colored clothing wearing a dreadful ne with a skull at the center of the cross on the neck. No, a demon.
¡°My friend¡ why¡¡±
¡°Yo. Well, that, uh¡ who are you again?¡±
¡°Wh¡ what art thou saying? It is I!¡±
¡°Hmm~, sorry, I¡¯ve a habit of forgetting those who I don¡¯t care for¡ well, no matter, baldy. Thanks for the help.¡±
¡°¡¡ Wha, eh?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve harvested all the ¡®flower beds¡¯ that I grew in this sky, and I¡¯ve had enough of this ce, so I¡¯m leaving.¡±
The person who appearedughing with a frivolous salute was the same demon that appeared in the memory of the Heavenly King.
The King of the Heavens called that person a friend, and¡
¡°Thou¡¡±
While crawling on the floor, the prince also had a troubled face.
This guy¡
¡ºParipi¡¡»
¡¡ Huh? Somehow, Tre¡¯ainar muttered¡ eh?
¡°¡¡ ha?¡±
What was that? I¡¯m wondering why there¡¯s a demon here, but that name¡ oh? It¡¯s a name I¡¯ve heard before.
It¡¯s the name of a legend that used to appear in picture books or horror ghost stories¡
¡ºThis man¡ was alive¡¡»
And, to be clear, Tre¡¯ainar seemed more surprised than when Jamdi¡¯el first appeared before me.
With his eyes wide open and clearly upset.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ this guy¡?¡¹
When I asked her in our minds, Tre¡¯ainar huffed and looked at me¡
¡ºThis man¡ once renowned as the chief military strategist of the Demon King¡¯s army¡ one of the Six Supremacy who once made a name for himself as a warrior ¡ ¡®The ck Sage, Paripi¡¯¡¡»
¡°What!? Th, The ck Sage, Paripi!?¡±
¡ºO, oi, child!¡»
After all, I know the name! Paripi? That¡¯s a legend on par with Jamdi¡¯el!?
¡°Oh? Hey, Earth. Do you know this person?¡±
¡°Eh? Ah, eh?¡±
Kron¡¯s face was furrowed when he heard my unintentionally mouthing and exmation.
Both the Heavenly King and the prince look at me with surprised faces.
No, I know only that name, though I have never met him before.
On the other hand, Paripi himself who heard my words¡
¡°Oh, so overjoyed panay! Thank you! I¡¯m really honored that the new generation knows about me!¡±
He smiled at me with an exaggerated reaction.
He looks so frivolous and irritating, but when I think that he is that same Paripi, every word he says and every movement he makes looks creepy and scary.
¡ºTch¡¡ this man¡ no, there was no corpse to be found, so it was never impossible¡ by no means, yet here we are¡ here¡¡ in this ce¡¡»
Did Tre¡¯ainar looks somewhat chagrined beside me? It seemed he was gnashing his teeth with that expression.
But, the Six Supremacy were your former subordinates, right? In other words, that¡¯s arade.
Jamdi¡¯el was like that, but somehow we lived together under the same roof for three months.
If he is the same the Six Supremacy as Jamdi¡¯el, this guy is¡
¡ºChild. Do not put this one together with Jamdi¡¯el.¡»
¡¸Eh?¡¹
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar advised me, as if to say I was being ¡°naive¡±.
¡ºFine! An absolute with this man¡ ¡®perhaps he is a decent fellow¡¯ is a misconception, is it not? This man is willing tomit cruel and malicious deeds for the sake of amusement that would nauseate and sicken the normal mind.¡»
The Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s advice reminded me of an old tale.
I remember when I was a kid, Sadiz used to harass me by my bedside.
¨D¨D If you misbehave, I¡¯ll terrorize you at the Paripi banquet
Was that it?
¡°Fufufu, I¡¯m d you know me, but don¡¯t give me that frightened look, Earth Lagann, okay? You¡¯re a man with a more fearless and raging soul, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that time, a happy-go-lucky Paripi, slowly approached me.
Do you know me?
¡ºJamdi¡¯el knew of you as well. Perhaps you have surprisingly gained fame for that graduation match. Do not get swallowed in, child! This man skillfully tries to round up his opponents by leading them on with words!¡»
Then, more than any other time, Tre¡¯ainar warned me in a flustered manner.
For this man, that¡¯s¡
¡ºHmm? Child, Paripi smiled¡ his focus is¡ not the child¡! Protect Kron, child! He is aiming for Kron!¡»
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar shouted so, and Paripi looked at me smiling.
¡°Nice to meet you, Earth Lagann, I¡¯m formerly of the Demon King Army, but now I¡¯m a man who just ys around without getting a regr job. Call me Paripi the Vagabond. Ah, I¡¯m d I met you too, Miss Kron, and my what nice eyeballs!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
The demon¡¯s right hand was stretched out towards Kron¡¯s eyes.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh?¡±
Good thing I stayed in the breakthrough state.
I was able to repel the wrist of the demon¡¯s extended arm from the side just in time.
¡°Ah¡ ah.¡±
Kron sat up, eyes fluttering at the sudden event.
That¡¯s right, what if my reaction was dyed by even a few seconds? What if I hadn¡¯t heard Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s voice? In fact, I couldn¡¯t react without Tre¡¯ainar telling me.
Without any warning, he suddenly tried to take Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eyes.
Normally¡¡ would you suddenly try to steal the eyeball of the woman you just met? No, even if you¡¯re not meeting for the first time, you wouldn¡¯t.
This guy¡
¡°Hyuu¡ I waspletely caught in the act ¡ in fact, your consciousness didn¡¯t fully predict my actions¡ but, good job preventing it¡ I was a little surprised.¡±
¡°You bastard¡ suddenly, what the hell did you¡¡±
¡°Hihahaha, but still¡¡±
That was then.
I repelled the arm, and while whistling and looking impressed with me, he suddenly¡
¡°Unlike Big Sis, I have a bad habit of not being concerned about the details. Whoa, who did you learn the techniques of the Great Demon from?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Unless you had the Heraldic Eye like Big Sis, you could not have used the breakthrough, let alone the Great Spiral.¡±
¡°Well¡ that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°And how¡ did you know I was Paripi? It¡¯s true that I could be a picture book¡ but, my clothes have changed since the war, and I¡¯m wearing sunsses now. I¡¯m sure no one but the generation at that time, or my friends back then, would recognize me as Paripi at a nce¡ right?¡±
Suddenly, I felt an oppressive chill. It was as intense as Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s ck miasma.
I can¡¯t see his eyes with those strange sses, but what kind of eyes does he have behind them?
¡°Heh¡ who knows¡¡ I wonder why?¡±
¡°Well, you can¡¯t tell me something you never told your dad or mom, right? So¡.. I thought that if I get Kron¡¯s eyeball and look into your memory, then I will know. Tehepero!¡±
¡°Eh¡¡±
His tone was calmly jokey, but this guy had a persuasive power which makes me think he¡¯s serious.
¡°Hihahahaha, don¡¯t give that look, Earth. Yeah, do you smoke? I have good cigarettes, but how about getting closer? That¡¯s cool~, bad boy! How about a little rebellion against dad and mom? Now, I¡¯ll give you a pack for free. If you smoke it and embrace a woman, it¡¯ll feel so nice that you can go to heaven, okay?¡±
¡ºAh¡ I see¡¡ it all finally makes sense. In the meantime, ept nothing from this one, child. Most likely¡ tis not cigarettes¡ but ¡®herbs¡¯.¡»
Anyway, there¡¯s no doubt.
After all, this is one of the Legendary Six Supremacy.

Chapter 209: Distracted
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!
¡¸Geez, Tre¡¯ainar¡ you¡¡ why did you make this guy your subordinate ¡ let alone one of your Six Supremacy?¡¹
¡ºTis because he is like this. I gave him the position to keep him constrained, and even made him a close aide so I may oversee him¡ furthermore, he was a great war potential against humans¡¡»
¡¸Haha, is that all¡¡¹
I¡¯mughing internally, but I can¡¯t stop sweating badly in front of the person I can¡¯tugh at.
So what¡¯s going to happen?
Should I fight the guy like this?
¡ºTis fine, child. Do not move carelessly. This man is a tactician, but he is also apetentbatant. He is not as powerful as Jamdi¡¯el, but¡ she did not intend to kill you, he adapts more to situations andcks restraint, a detestable opponent.¡»
¡¸Even if you say not to move carelessly ¡¡¹
¡ºAvoid his ws in particr. Tis poison. They are poisonous ws, and the effect vary for each finger, but do not take a single one, understand?¡»
¡¸Poison?¡¹
¡ºEarlier, you repelled his wrist to block an attack on Kron, did you not? That was the right answer. If slightly off, you would have¡¡»
¡¸Seriously ¡ tell me that first.¡¹
Just getting closer makes me want to back away. I mean, I don¡¯t want to breathe the same air for even a second, or I don¡¯t want to be here anymore.
¡°Well¡ Kron. Won¡¯t you give me that eyeball?¡±
¡°Eh!? Wh, what¡ even if you ask me for my eyes, I would be troubled.¡±
¡°Aha, so cute, but maybe you would be luckier if you just give me your eyes and die here now?¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh?¡±
¡°After all, as things are, sooner orter you¡¯ll be kidnapped by Boss Hakuki, your eyes will be taken away, then forced to have a baby to an ogre you can¡¯t like to make a sessor to the Great Demon.¡±
I don¡¯t want to be here. But no. Kron is here. How do I take Kron and run away from this guy? I can¡¯t.
But I have to protect her.
Instinct tells me.
I can¡¯t let this bastard stay around Kron anymore.
¡°Hey¡ that¡¯s enough.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t just woo a girl into giving you her eyes.¡±
I said, with a strong voice to disguise my fear¨D¨D¨D
¡ºChild! Jump to the right! Hold Kron in your arms and widen the gap!¡»
¡°Eh!¡±
¡°Shaaaaaaaah!¡±
The moment Tre¡¯ainar said that, I jumped to the right without thinking, holding Kron in my arms and leaped into the air.
Then, in the ce where I just was, Paripi was sticking out a sharply wed hand sword.
¡°¡¡ heh~¡¡ dodged again? Even though you can use breakthroughs¡ I thought it would hit¡ I wonder why? Why~ oh why~?¡±
That was close. Were you about to open a hole in my body?
¡°Ah¡ Earth¡±
¡°Ah shit¡ stay close to me, Kron.¡±
¡°Huh¡ Yes¡¡±
Certainly, Tre¡¯ainar was right, he didn¡¯t have any hesitation in killing me or harming Kron.
¡ºChild ¡¡ he may have some suspicions, but I cannot confirm. I shall give instructions. Attack or flee, either way, be on the lookout.¡»
¡¸I¡¯m already on it.¡¹
We have no choice. I was determined to do it, and I entrusted my life to Tre¡¯ainar.
However, it was that moment¡
¡°My friend¡ what¡¡ why¡¡ I, I¡¯m¡¡±
The fallen and motionless Heavenly King, looking like a lost child, was asking Paripi a question.
As if he couldn¡¯t believe Paripi¡¯s attitude toward him.
But Paripi¡
¡°Mmmm¡¡ well¡¡±
Paripi didn¡¯t even nce at the Heavenly King, but instead zipped around and looked at me and Kron, trying to do something¡
¡ºHe will thrust out the hand sword again. Do not hit your opponent¡¯s wrist from the front, but from the side! Tis safe there.¡»
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
And again, he tried to scratch me without warning, but on the advice of Tre¡¯ainar who anticipated it, I hit the wrist with a high-speed jab, not touching Paripi¡¯s ws.
¡°Ororo¡¡±
It¡¯s okay. With Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, my breakthrough and the zone, I can see through even the Six Supremacy¡¯s martial art.
However¡¡
¡°Now¡¡ there¡¯s no doubt about it. Obviously, you aimed at my wrist¡¡ to avoid my ws¡¡±
The voice of Paripi, who had beenughing mirthfully until a while ago, suddenly became a low, dusky voice now¡
¡°Before the war, I rarely fought on a one-on-one basis, I was mainly a strategist¡ there aren¡¯t many people who know I use poisonous ws¡ that¡¯s not in picture books or textbooks. Who told you? Woi, hey kid!¡±
Yes, it seemed that he has noticed something about this now.
¡°At first I was curious, but now it¡¯s simply a mystery panay. You¡¯ve never met me ¡ it¡¯s as if someone who knows me well taught you¡ I wonder who¡¡±
And this is exactly what Tre¡¯ainar was talking about, being ¡°suspicious¡±.
¡°I¡¯m starting to want to strip it down¡¡ take it apart and ask the brain? Earth Lagann¡ I tried casting you as a surprise guest who didn¡¯t know anything about my banquet, but¡ you know me, yet I don¡¯t know you. I feel like I¡¯m losing something and it¡¯s pissing me off¡ Hihaha¡so¡¡±
And, this guy won¡¯t let the questions he has slide with an ¡°Oh well¡±.
He¡¯s trying to pursue that question.
About me and Tre¡¯ainar¡ well, he won¡¯t know unless I talk when he pursues it, and it¡¯s a different story whether he can believe it when I talk.
However, I¡¯m not going to say anything. I¡¯m not going to tell this guy about us.
¡°Hihahaha, so why don¡¯t you do your best and resist. Then you can go to hell without regrets! And when you get to hell, you¡¯ll regret it!¡±
¡°Try it, perverted bastard!¡±
Don¡¯t underestimate him. But don¡¯t be scared. I¡¯ve been sparring every night with someone who¡¯s definitely stronger than this guy.
Compared to Tre¡¯ainar, this guy¡
¡ºNo other choice. Still, do not enter his range. Avoid close quarters, use shockwaves to keep your distance.¡»
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
Following Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, I instantly shot the flicker shockwave at Paripi.
¡°Aah¡ so annoying!
Paripi also swung his right hand wide in an arc on the spot. Then, something like a purple vacuum wave was released from his sharp ws, cutting through my shockwave.
¡ºAvoid that! The air is alsoced with poison. If you touch it and get injured, you will be infected! Footwork.¡»
¡¸Osu!¡¹
¡ºAs you dodge, stack your lefts undaunted, but do not unleash the right cannon yet! He is aiming for the counter.¡»
He easily tore the shockwave from my flicker.
But I¡¯m not surprised. The opponent is a Six Supremacy. He can do this much.
Therefore, I just kept moving my feet and fired off lefts.
¡°Heh, Panay, you have good feet¡ though your left hand is annoying.¡±
¡ºHere!¡»
It was just after the start of the battle.
Tre¡¯ainar eximed as Paripi looked at my feet as if impressed.
¡ºHis gaze is firmly on the child¡ I doubt he would expect you to suddenly use it right after the start of this battle. Therefore, dare to go now! Have Kron use her Daybreak eyes!¡»
¡°Eh, Kron! Here! Now!¡±
¡°¡¡ Eh? Oh¡ Y, yes!¡±
Kron¡¯s eyes, which were supposed to be saved until the crucial moment, will be used here.
I didn¡¯t expect it and Kron didn¡¯t expect it. Then, Paripi must not expect it either.
¡°Hohe?¡±
He waspletely caught off guard and his eyes were wide open. Surely, now ¨D¨D¨D
¡°Creation(Genesis)!!¡±
¡°Eh!?
¡°Big thunder! Big wind! Earth spiral! All in a swoop!¡±
Kron¡¯s eyes lit up, and a veritable tempest was brewing. The fury like all the natural disasters fell on Paripi all at once.
¡°Oh, ah, Oooooooooooooooooooooooohh!!!!¡±
Of course, it¡¯s all an illusion. It¡¯s not real. However, with Kron¡¯s magic eye which creates something as close to the real thing as possible and makes the other person¡¯s brain think it is¡.
¡ºDo not be distracted! After all, with the inexperienced Kron¡¯s eyes, he would be stalled at best! He will soon regain his senses!¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºBut this created an opening! The win, child, is yours! Pierce him with the Great Spiral!¡»
Yes, no matter how powerful the Daybreak eye is, Kron still doesn¡¯t have the imagination to master it.
That¡¯s why Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades, sneered at her.
But still, it¡¯s enough to blind the opponent.
The main goal of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s strategy is from here on out.
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°oooooooooooh, tte woi! No effect, this¡¡ tte, uoooh, the Great Demon Spiral!?¡±
Paripi¡¯s eyes returned to normal. He¡¯se to his senses now. But my attack is faster!
¡°P, panay, this is bad¡¡ Hihaha¡ just kidding!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Just as I was about to attack, Paripi suddenly smiled sharply like a devil¡
¡°Let¡¯s party¡ ring the crackers ?.¡±
When Paripi snapped his fingers¡
¡°Gofu!¡±
In apletely unexpected ce, I heard the sound of something exploding.
When I stop my hand unintentionally and turn around, there¡
¡°Da¡ eh? Da¡ Daddy!?¡±
The prince screamed out suddenly.
Then, the King of Heaven spouts arge amount of blood as if his belly had exploded.
What the heck¡¡
¡ºDu eh, child! Do not look away!¡»
¡¸¡¡ Eh?¡¹
¡ºTis misdirection! Keep your eye on Paripi, not the Heavenly King! Do not look away! Oi!¡»
¡°Oh¡ eh, ah¡¡±
¡ºChild!!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar yelled at me in a panic, but suddenly I couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on and couldn¡¯t move right away, and¡
¡°Yes, found a chance ?¡±
¡°Eh¡ Ah¡¡±
The next thing I knew, Paripi¡¯s ws pierced my left shoulder.
And the next moment¡
¡°Gah, ugh¡ oh¡¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
My body went numb, and my limbs suddenly¡ eh? Ah¡
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a neurotoxin, so this won¡¯t kill you. Well, you will feel pain, so it might be hell to think about the future.¡±
¡°B, bastard¡¡ wh¡¡±
¡°Hihahaha, anyway¡ I set it up baldy for the event, but¡ that was a one-of-a-kind chance to hurt a Six Supremacy, and if you got distracted just by blowing off the gut of a baldy who is not an ally. To be distracted and stunned, after all, a kid¡¯s mentality¡ ¡°
Poison? Idiot¡ and¡.. Heavenly King¡ wh, what¡
¡ºThis man¡ prepared such a thing in the body of the Heavenly King¡ just to distract the child¡! Have Kron use her eyes to conjure up the illusion that ¡®poison does not work¡¯! Child!¡»
Not good, losing strength¡ rather, can¡¯t put in any power, I can¡¯t stand¡ voice¡¡ shout¡¡
¡°Ah¡ Heavenly King¡ and¡.. what did you do to Earth?¡±
And the moment I got down to my knees, Kron¡
¡°Wait, Kron! There¡¯s a reason I¡¯m doing this!¡±
¡°What! Stay away from Earth! Magic Eye Skill¨D¨D¡±
¡°It¡¯s true! I have to tell you something about Jamdi¡¯el to prove it!¡±
¡°¡¡ eh? Jamdi¡¯el¡?¡±
Just as the angry Kron was about to chant something with her Daybreak Eyes, the name Jamdi¡¯el came out of Paripi¡¯s mouth, and the moment Kron unexpectedly stopped the spell¡
¡ºFool, do not be deceived! He is not such a man! Do not listen!¡»
No matter how much Tre¡¯ainar yelled, his voice can¡¯t reach Kron without me.
¡°A?LIE¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paripi stabbed the same w that he stabbed into me, this time on Kron¡¯s unblemished white skin.
The next moment, Kron copsed to her knees.
¡°K ¡ ro ¡ n¡±
My voice doesn¡¯t reach her. And in front of Kron¡¯s eyes, Paripi shook his shoulders¡
¡°Ah¡¡Haha, hihahaha! Ah~, so easy~ panay. Winning so easily without using much strength or magic, I¡¯m so sorry I was born into this world!!¡±
I wanted to punch that face as hard as I could, but I couldn¡¯t even clench my fist ¡ I was frustrated ¡ I was angry.
Chapter 210: All Together
Chapter 210: All Together
Damn it, my body¡¯s numb. I can¡¯t move properly. I can¡¯t even put any strength into my hand.
I was told to be careful of poison, but¡
¡°Daddy! Da ¡ ah ¡ Daddy!!¡±
¡°Kah, ah¡ uh, ah, gah, gah¡¡±
And the King of the Heavens, whose belly was blown off just to attack me with poison, was convulsing and gushing blood.
Kron also couldn¡¯t even sit up.
This is bad. Such a¡..
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºTis not much poison, but can you do detoxification magic?¡»
¡¸No¡ maybe if it¡¯s simple, but I can¡¯t put in any magic right now¡¡¹
¡ºNeurotoxin¡ trembling lips and this discoloration¡ perhaps a Dendrotoxin strain¡¡»
¡¸I¡¯m sorry¡ even if I¡¯m told what the poison is¡¡¹
¡ºTch, tis why that academy is currentlycking! To not even cover survival training¡ tis essential to carry such knowledge and a serum¡ no, even I did not give that guidance at my blunder¡ kuh¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also biting his teeth with regret.
I¡¯m not good enough¡
¡°Hey, kid? How are you feeling? Oh?¡±
¡°Ugh!?¡±
Impact on my back? I¡¯m getting my back stomped on by Paripi!
¡°Y,ou bast¡ ard¡¡±
¡°Hihahahahaha, you have cheeky eyes. But that¡¯s ignorance, not bravery. If you know me, you wouldn¡¯t look at me like that. On the battlefield, I¡¯ve hollowed out the eyeballs, and cut off ears.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Here, you¡¯re still too noisy, so why don¡¯t you try another one? Here! There goes! There goes ?¡±
¡°Ah, gaaaaaahhh!?¡±
¡°Hihahahaha, that¡¯s it! But ¡ you seem to know me, but you don¡¯t know at all¡ what does that mean?¡±
This guy, my body, his ws calmly like ying the piano¡ over and over, it hurts!
¡°Well, what to do? Cut off your limbs as well as your eyes and ears, skin you alive and deliver you to Hiro and Mamu¡ or have you drugged up and broken? Sell you off to a perverse male brothel? Not good¡¡ I¡¯m drawing a nk and can¡¯te up with any good ideas.¡±
Horrifying¡ but in his case, it¡¯s not a threat. He¡¯ll really do it. No, that¡¯s the kind of stuff he does.
Even if Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t tell me, I know that much.
His monologue wasn¡¯t just to scare me, but when he says he¡¯ll do it, he really will¡ this guy¡¡
¡°But first. I have to get the eyeballs from here¡ Kron.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Earth won¡¯t tell me, so I must take a peek. Earth¡ what is he hiding¡ is there someone behind him¡. ooh.¡±
And, of course, that madness went all the way to Kron. Oh no, Kron can¡¯t move either.
Kron, can you read my memory? Then, can we talk? No, it¡¯s no good.
¡°won¡¯t let¡ have¡¡ my, eyes¡ you¡¡ won¡¯t, let.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what you want. I¡¯ll decide.¡±
Either way, he¡¯s trying to get Kron¡¯s eye.
¡°But, Boss Hakuki and Sis Jamdi¡¯el have done something fascinating¡ and it¡¯s such a big deal because it expresses the Daybreak Eye so faithfully.¡±
¡°Eh¡ ah¡ tsu¡¡ gah!
¡°It was made only with gic information obtained from the hair of the Great Demon King, and grew up to this point¡¡ but isn¡¯t this much enough? After all, it is a doll made halfway. Not as long-lived as we pure demons. It¡¯s just like humans, with less than a hundred years of life. Even if it dies here and now, it wouldn¡¯t make much difference, would it?¡±
Kron bit her lips with her motionless body, tears in her eyes, and still red at Paripi.
But no. Kron can¡¯t do anything either.
At this rate¡ at this rate¡
¡°Well, don¡¯t mind if I¡ hn?¡±
¡°sh step!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
However, at that moment.
¡°Huh?¡±
Suddenly, someone appeared behind Paripi and tried to sh his neck with a knife.
¡°Oops¡ oh, my my¡. close one~¡±
Although he seemed to be in aical mood, Paripi flew high with an agile movement and avoided it just in time.
Then, looking down, he saw¡
¡°What are you doing to Honey and my friends? Wind Arts, ¡¾Frenzied Kamaitachi¡¿!¡¯ ¡°
It¡¯s Shinobu! Shinobu, who was fighting the cloud golems in the square, saved Kron and attacked Paripi with sharp flying wind des.
¡°tte, no effect, it¡¯s such a breeze!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
However, the countless des of wind were easily crushed by Paripi, who swung the ws of both hands in the air. But¡¡
¡°Oh, if a breeze won¡¯t do, what about the storm of ragging attacks?¡±
¡°¡ Ah? ¡ oh my?¡±
Then the next moment¡
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Horizontal Chop¡¿!¡±
¡°Howachaaaaa!¡±
¡°Imperial Sword, ¡¾Crimson Lotus Scorching sh¡¿!¡±
¡°Imperial Spear, ¡¾Marked Phantom Lance¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Mega Fire¡¿!¡±
It was truly a simultaneous attack.
¡°Oh, Ororororooooooooh!¡±
Caught up in the unleashed raging storm, Paripi was violently blown away and struck against the wall with a violent impact, which broke down parts of the wall and ceiling and buried him under a pile of rubble.
And¡..
¡°Goddess! Earth!¡±
¡°Goddess! Big brother!¡±
¡°L, Little man!¡±
¡°Nah~, it¡¯s okay!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Goddess ah, Earth uh, we¡¯re here!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
After the storm, a cry of concern for me and Kron resounded.
Everybody¡
¡°Little man, Kron¡ it¡¯s all right now!¡±
¡°Sad¡¡ iz¡ how¡¡±
¡°All of a sudden, the countless golems that were flocking to us disappeared, so we rushed here in a hurry. It looked like you were in a pinch, so for the time being, everyone attacked the demon that seemed to be a threat ¡ that¡¯s what it is.¡±
Golems? Oh, yeah¡ because, the Heavenly King is in that state, so¡
¡°Even so, it¡¯s terrible¡ a poison¡¡±
¡°Ah, ah¡ but, before me¡ get to Kron quick¡¡±
¡°But, Little man has more wounds¡ we¡¯ll have to hurry¨D¨D¨D¡±
Then, Sadiz looked at my wounds and made a bitter face as she nursed me, but then Shinobu, who appeared beside me, snatched me away from Sadiz, brought her lips to my wound, then made a kissing sound and then sucked on it¡.
¡°Honey! Eh¡ it¡¯s poison, I¡¯ll suck it out¡. Ju ¡ Pe ¡ Chu ¡ Pe!¡±
¡°¡ Shinobu¡¡±
¡°This is snake venom¡ a sort of Dendrotoxin. But it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll detoxify it right away. Don¡¯t worry. I always carry antidotes and serum with me.¡±
¡°I¡ see¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s part of being a wife. How about it? Are you falling in love with me a little bit?¡±
Shinobu showed off a smile on her face to reassure me.
However, I was somewhat relieved by her confident expression.
¡°Shinobu¡ can you tell what kind of poison it is?¡±
¡°Yes. I think it¡¯s a poison that¡¯s unfamiliar in the Empire, but rest assured. It¡¯smon in Japone. Leave Honey to me, you take care of her.¡±
¡°I, I understand. Please, take care of Little man.¡±
Oh, I see¡ then, with a face that looked a little conflicted, Sadiz left me with Shinobu and rushed to Kron . . . something, chuchu ¡ no, this is a treatment, but¡ I¡¯m kind of embarrassed¡
¡°Don¡¯t be shy, Honey. This is therapy. It is not a hickey or a marking, so don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t want to make you mine, I want to be yours. So, whenever you feel like it, do whatever you like with kisses or markings on every corner of my body ?.¡±
¡°Unununu. L, l, l, let me suck out the poison myself¡!¡±
¡°That princess¡ Little man is in crisis, so let¡¯s read the mood. Please go help Kron.¡±
¡ºThe knowledge is outdated. Poison spreads instantly throughout the body, so tis impossible to suck out orally, and tis of little use. Rather, the risk of infection is higher¡ after all, ninjas are archaic¡ well, they carry medical packs at least.¡»
It¡¯s somewhat noisy, and Tre¡¯ainar was a bit flustered a while ago, but he seemed calm and looked at Shinobu with cold eyes. No, even if you look at her with such eyes!
But soon, Tre¡¯ainar changed his gaze¡
¡ºFor now, child, you should be able to move soon. The number of people has increased, but¡ it grants littlefort, does it not? That man¡¡»
¡°Huh!?
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar looked in the direction in which Paripi was blown away with a serious expression.
That¡¯s right. The opponent is¡¡
¡°Ah~¡ so annoying. The one coat I had left before setting off got covered with dust and a little ripped¡ how unpleasant Panay.¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±
And then, Paripi stood up from under the rubble as if nothing had happened.
His clothes were slightly torn, but after being attacked by so many people, he doesn¡¯t have much damage. Rather¡¡
¡°Standing up? After all our attacks¡¡±
¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡ must have been a direct hit¡¡±
¡°What? This monster is¡ Earth, who is this demon?¡±
¡°It¡¯s evil¡ also¡¡ terribly strong¡¡±
In addition, the air was heavy and a piercing, intense murderous aura was blown.
¡°Hihahahahaha¡ oh my¡ such a crowd¡ guests that I didn¡¯t invite to my party, raiding it on their own¡ I¡¯m so pissed off¡ Hi¡ Hihahaha ¡ ha ~¡¡±
Everyone in the room, even Mr. Machio and Sadiz, had sweat running down their cheeks at the murderous atmosphere.
And Paripi looked at all of us¡
¡°Geez, aren¡¯t you too rxed, damn brats! How could I get up? Unbelievable! You punks think you¡¯ve seen the world! The eras we¡¯ve lived through! The enemies we¡¯ve fought are of a different dimension!¡±
It was not in the frivolous tone of voice which he had before, nor in the quiet, drunken tone of voice.
He was shouting wildly as if he had lost his temper.
It¡¯s overflowing with anger from his whole body, wearing it and poised for us ¡
¡°Fine, small fries! Let¡¯s give these kids a little old-fashioned hell tomemorate my departure from thend of the skies! Come now, all together! Hihahahahahahahahahahahaha!¡±
He shouted that he would take us all on by himself.
Author¡¯s Note
I am indebted to you. This will be thest post of the year.
Thank you very much for 2019.
I started this work in May of this year, and it was the first time that I was a contributor, and I was able to get a response from the audience, and I was able to experience publishing books, releasing books, and makingicalization decisions.
It is thanks to everyone who has been with us for more than 200 chapters, even though there are developments that got boring and dull along the way. Thank you very much.
In the future, I may want to write a new work, or may be busy with my main business and marriage, and I do not know what will happen in 2020, but I would be grateful if we could keep in touch again next year.
Have a nice year, everyone!
Chapter 211: Trampled
Chapter 211: Trampled
¡ºChild, tell everyone to beware! Poison is but a part of his power! He also makes use of a variety of Dark Magic in battle!¡»
¡°D¡¡ ark?¡±
¡ºNuh¡ you cannot speak well as of yet¡¡»
A mass of malevolence approached. I wasn¡¯t the only one who sensed that.
Everyone here was more powerful than the average person, though each has different strengths.
That¡¯s why they should have felt chills from the immense power of the sole demon in front of them.
¡°¡¾Arcane True Zenith Lariat¡¿!!¡±
As if shaking off the air, Mr. Machio swung out his strong arms first to create a vortex and took the initiative against Paripi.
¡°An~, nh, noying~, nh!!¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
However, Paripi did not avoid it, but ran straight and cut through the vortex created by Mr. Machio and closed the gap between them.
¡°Tsu, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Knuckle Arrow¡¿!¡±
¡°Han¡±
Mr. Machio swung his right fist down regardless. His powerful fist created arge crack on the ground.
However, the fact that he hit the ground meant that the fist was avoided.
Paripi, who easily evaded Mr. Machio¡¯s fist, snickered.
¡°Hihahahaha, oh, Panay, amazing. If that hit it, you can boast of your threatening power ¡ Hiha, if that hit? You can¡¯t hit me, so you can¡¯t threaten me!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Ancient Dark Magic, ¡¾Shadow Laguerre¡¿!¡±
¡°Nugu!? Wh, what?! Kaha¡!¡±
While chanting a spell, Paripi stepped on the ground behind Mr. Machio. To be exact, on Mr. Machio¡¯s shadow.
Then, at the next instant, the shadow at Mr. Machio¡¯s feet suddenly became a huge pincushion and pierced Mr. Machio¡¯s tough body.
¡°Machio!¡±
¡°Wh, t, the shadows changed shape¡¡±
¡ºDark Attribute Magic, ¡¾Shadow Laguerre¡¿. Tis magic that allows the maniption of shadows at will, to bind and attack the opponent!¡»
Manipting shadows? I¡¯ve never heard of such magic. All of a sudden, such magic¡
¡°Unknown magic¡ but we can¡¯t be cowed into backing down!¡±
¡°What a monster¡¡ here we go aye!¡±
However, a second wave of new attacks was shot at Paripi.
Rebal wielding arge sword and a Wacha wielding chained iron rods.
¡°Imperial Sword, ¡¾Celestial Light Blooming Strident Dance¡¿!¡±
¡°Magical Nunchuk Technique! Howachaa!
But¡¡
¡°Hiha! Second Sword Saint¡ your father took care of me¡ but you¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Faiiiilll!¡±
¡°Ga ¡ gah!?¡±
At first nce, Rebal¡¯s high-speed sword technique was stopped between the index finger and the middle finger, and then a heavy middle kick to the defenseless side.
And¡..
¡°And who¡¯s this punk, such small fry?¡±
¡°How!¡±
He kicked the Rebal and sent him flying towards Wacha, and Wacha got entangled and rolled to the ground with Rebal.
¡°Rebal!? No way, Rebal¡¡±
¡°Machio, Wacha!? Can¡¯t be¡ even those two¡¡±
It was just for a moment. Machio, Wacha, and Rebal¡
¡°Everyone, stay away! I¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Got him! ¡¾Mega Fire¡¿!¡±
But it¡¯s not over yet. While Rebal and the others were fighting back and forth, Fu, who had been chanting with concentrated magical power, unleashed a huge karmic me toward Paripi¡ but¡¡
¡°Dark Magic, ¡¾Dark Absorption¡¿!!¡±
¡°Eh¡? Wh¡ m, my spell¡ was swallowed by the darkness!? Absorbed!?¡±
¡°So, I¡¯ll pay it back with interest. ¡¾Dark Giga Fire¡¿!!¡±
Along with the spell cast by Paripi, a dark miasma appeared on Paripi¡¯s palm, the darkness eventually spread, swallowing the magic released by Fu, bing a dark me that absorbed the me and shot them all back at him.
¡°Oh no, Honey is being treated! Obstruct it, Water Art, ¡¾sh Flood¡¿!¡±
¡°I also support you! Ice Spell, ¡¾Mega Ice Wall¡¿!¡±
To counter the looming dark me, Shinobu and the princess simultaneously stepped out to intercept with water and ice techniques and magic.
All the attacks collided with each other, canceling out the mes¡ I thought¡
¡°The fires of hell exceed absolute zero! In other words, it evaporates all!
¡°¡±Eehh?¡±¡±
Even that swallowed everything.
¡°Shinobu! Princess Ph¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°You shouldn¡¯t react to each and every one that got hit!¡±
Fu tried to scream at Shinobu and the princess who were swallowed by the mes, but in the meantime, Paripi had already crept up to right in front of Fu, grabbed Fu¡¯s head with his hand, and mmed a powerful knee kick into Fu¡¯s face as if to twist it.
¡°Aaaaahh!? Kah, ah, ah¡¡±
¡°Hiharahara, I love it~, crushing a face that seems popr with women is a pleasure, even though we are different races ?¡±
¡°Fu, you, bastaaaaaard!¡±
¡°And the Second Sword Saint¡ back again broken ribs and all, quite the worker¡ let¡¯s crush your face too and show you out!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Rebal!? He mmed his fist at the counter to Rebal¡¯s face as he headed to Paripi again.
I heard a dull sound like meat and bones being crushed¡ Fu! Rebal!
¡°N, no way¡ and I can¡¯t believe it¡¡±
¡°M, monster¡¡±
¡°U, Uooo, Kabaddi Kabaddi Kabaddi!
¡°If it¡¯s crotch size, I¡¯m¡¡±
¡°Damn, you can¡¯t beat me! I¡¯ll put it in your ass!¡±
Strong. Everyone was so badly kicked off¡ and yet, they all bravely confronted Paripi, but¡
¡°Hihahahahaha¡ Heehahahahaha !!!!¡±
They all were beaten up one after another.
¡°What¡ the hell¡ is he¡¡±
¡°Tsu, too strong¡¡±
¡°W, what is he, that person! T, terrifying!¡±
Seeing Paripi¡¯s overwhelming power, Elder sis Tsukshi, Karui, and Hilua could no longer jump at him.
No wonder.
To be clear¡ it¡¯s a different order of magnitude¡¡ regardless of whether I¡¯m stuck with poison or not ¡¡ he¡¯s¡
¡°¡¡ Please look after Kron and Little man¡ Tsukshi¡¡±
¡°Sadiz Big sister¡ what¡¡±
Then. Sadiz, who had been cuddling with me and Kron, clutched her scythe in both hands, and stared at Paripi sharp eyes¡
¡°I¡¯ll handle it.¡±
She said.
But it¡¯s impossible. I know that, too.
Certainly Sadiz was strong, but¡ after all¡ that thing was still on a different level.
¡°Uoooooooooooooh, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Horizontal Chop¡¿!¡±
¡°Hihaha, so annoying! As if that could hit me! ¡¾Raging Poison ws¡¿¡ eh? My ws¡¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t work on me either! Even if poisoned, your ws cannot pierce my muscles! And¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Knock you down!!?? ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Power Bomb¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾w Spear¡¿!¡±
What¡¯s even more different is not just the level. He was merciless enough to strike the opponent¡¯s vital point with impunity.
Even now, the moment that Mr. Machio repelled Paripi¡¯s ws with his muscles, grabbed Paripi¡¯s body, lifted him up, and tried to m him to the ground, Paripi¡¯s ws extend like a spear in an instant, and hit Mr. Machio¡¯s left eye¡
¡°Eh, gu, nugu!¡±
¡°Why, boast of muscles, when eye muscles are so soft. And just like ordinary people¡ a crushed eyeball and its depths are warm and fresh ?.¡±
Gouged¡
¡°Kyaaaaah!! M, Machio!!¡±
¡°Hihahaha, don¡¯t make a fuss. One crushed eyeball is cheaper than life, isn¡¯t it? Well, I¡¯ll take that life too, if you want.¡±
This is bad¡¡ just facing him like this without a n¡ everyone will be killed!
¡ºYour body will regain mobility anytime soon, child!¡»
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar told me that, though I still couldn¡¯t move even after receiving the medicine that Shinobu had.
¡°I will not tolerate any more violence! Little man¡¯s share¡ I¡¯ll take it on!¡±
¡°Ah? I¡¯m mercilessly crushing girls and children? I am such scum! Hihahahahahahaha!¡±
But even if I could move¡ what could I do against such a monster¡
Author¡¯s Note
Happy New Year! Looking forward to working with you again this year! In 2020, I will do my best so that I can spend more hot days thanst year.
Chapter 212: Heard it Again
¡°Haaaaahh!¡±
Whether it was the missing body parts or the poison, Mr. Machio recovered with his ability, and then gained a sturdier body and more antibodies.
¡°Hihahaha Super Magical Recovery. That¡¯s a very rear body panay. First time I¡¯m seeing it since Gouda.¡±
¡°Arcane True Zenith Spear Tackle!¡±
¡°But you specialize only in physical strength, your skills can¡¯t keep up!¡±
Paripi who avoided the tackle from Mr. Machio¡¯s strong dash with a flutter and doesn¡¯t even let it touch him.
With that much power in front of him, he¡¯s not in the zone like me, but he avoided it with ease.
¡°Then, I¡¯ll show you my skills.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Maid Killer Arts, ¡¾Table Manners¡¿!¡±
That¡¯s when Sadiz moved.
Aiming at Paripi as he avoided Mr. Machio¡¯s attack, she threw a sharp-edged fork, a polished knife, and a te like chakram all at once.
¡°Ha, too easy!¡±
Paripi easily knocked off all such things, bare hands and sharp ws.
However, at that moment, Sadiz suddenly closed the distance with Parisi.
¡°Dual Death Scythe¡¡ ¡¾Executioner sh¡¿!!¡±
¡°Oho, o, ooooh!? So fast¡¡±
A high-speed rush that made her two heavy Scythes be invisible.
Sadiz was trying to chop off all the opponent¡¯s limbs and head.
Sadiz was so serious that she tried to kill and injure her opponent without hesitation.
¡°You evaded even this¡ but!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Terra Spell¨D¨D¡°
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡¾Mega Sandlock¡¿!¡±
With both hands holding a weapon, Sadiz cast a magic spell. The next moment, sand appeared from Paripi¡¯s feet, which suddenly wrapped around and restrained him.
¡°What!? No way ¡ magic from the feet!?
Paripi seemed to be surprised at this.
I¡¯ve never seen it before either.
Normally, you cast spells with magic released from the palm, or by touching the ground to activate it, but from the foot?
¡°Terra Attribute, Thunder Attribute, Composite Spell! ¡¾Mega Landmine¡¿!¡±
¡°Oh, this hurts! Ugh!
In addition, Sadiz¡¯s attack never stopped.
With Paripi restrained in the sand, thunder blew through his body.
¡°Kah. shit¡ I¡¯m¡ damn¡ damn it¡ damn iiiiiiiit!¡±
This is¡¡ effective? Paripi was taking damage!
¡°It¡¯s over! I¡¯ll take your head! My Deathblow¡ Original Secret Technique!¡±
It¡¯s here! Sadiz¡¯ special move. When I was little, she showed it only once.
In a forward-leaning position, she pulled the scythes back, and swung out as she jumped in.
¡ºUnwise! Paripi is acting! Tis a bluff!¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºStop the maid, child!¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar screamed as if he had panicked.
¡°¡¾Maid sh¡¿!!¡±
¡°Sadiz, it¡¯s a trap! Don¡¯t jump in!
¡°Eh?¡±
But¡¡
¡°Damnit! Damnit! ¡Just kidding ?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Heigh-ho!!¡±
The next moment, fresh blood sttered.
It was the blood that sttered from Sadiz¡¯s scythe hitting Paripi¡¯s right shoulder.
¡°¡±Sadiz!¡±¡±
On the contrary, Sadiz¡¯s left shoulder was also pierced by five ws ¡°shot¡± from Paripi¡¯s finger.
¡°Heh~, you saved yourself by not stepping in as quickly as you should have. You should thank the little guy. If you had taken one more step¡ my ws would have pierced your heart.¡±
¡°Gah, s, such underhanded conduct¡¡±
Could he send those ws flying like a throwing knife?
Oh no, poison!
¡°You¡¯re still strong, though. You could have made a name for yourself in the war at the time, with the power you have now. As expected of you, the one raised by Hiro and Mamu, and reported as one of the key figures in the Empire.¡±
¡°Guh, y¡ you bastard¡¡±
¡°But, you didn¡¯t notice my lure, and misunderstood it as a chance only to rush into it like a fool and eat a counterattack, your experience in actual battles is meager. Well, you choose to flirt with your cute young master rather than fight real battles, that¡¯s the extent of it. And you are so pathetic that even your beloved Little man ran away from you.¡±
After being poisoned, Sadiz got down on one knee¡ no way!
¡°Sh, shut up! Detoxification Spell, ¡¾Mega Detox¡¿!¡±
Sadiz stood up to her feet while detoxifying herself and whipping her body that was being eroded by poison.
However, her body did not recover immediately.
¡°Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!¡±
It¡¯s like a nightmare.
I¡¯ve never seen Sadiz fighting seriously.
So I¡¯ve never seen the bottom of Sadiz¡¯s power.
¡°Hahhh! Imperial Dual Scythe Style!
Sadiz was brandishing her weapons with a serious look.
¡°Ooooh, ¡¾Arcane True Zenith Knuckle Arrow¡¿!¡±
Just like Sadiz, Mr. Machio screamed, and seriously hit him with his swollen muscles.
Unlike Sadiz, I know the power of Mr. Machio¡¯s serious punches because we shed in the tournament with our all.
¡°You did a good job just now! Fire Release, ¡¾me Kunai, 100 Consecutive Blows¡¿!
Shinobu threw countless kunai covered in mes.
She was aiming to toss the opponent with a number of techniques that are not well known on the Surface, and then slit his throat from behind whenever there was a chance.
Those three¡
¡°Hihahahaha, just too easy, damn brats!¡±
¡°¡±¡±tsu!?¡±¡±¡±
¡°Let¡¯s get ripped apart¡ ¡¾Wicked Funeral w Melody¡¿!¡±
They were torn and knocked down by the demon¡¯s ws, and then everyone danced.
They were made to crawl in front of a single demon.
¡°Hiha, ? but, that¡¯s some backbone, well, for small fries¡¡±
So strong.
¡°Well¡ I was a little bit excited, but I guess I¡¯m getting bored.¡±
I didn¡¯t underestimate the Six Supremacy, but this much?
Without disrupting his breath, without much damage, he scattered the strong men who gathered.
¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡ what is¡ this monster¡¡±
¡°He¡¯s a little too strong¡¡±
¡°I never thought there was someone like this ¡¡ in the world¡ what should I do~.¡±
¡°M, my legs are cowering¡ I can¡¯t move¡¡±
¡°S, s, scary, I¡¯m scared¡ this is bad, bad bad,¡±
At first there were dozens of us, but before long, the only ones standing here were the princess, who had already taken a lot of damage from his attack and got up while her clothes were in tatters, me and Kron, who were finally able to move our bodies, Elder sis Tsukshi and Karui, who were huddled together, and Hilua, who was trembling and frozen in the corner of the room.
And¡..
¡°Hah~, hah~¡ who the hell¡ is he¡¡±
¡°M, my magic¡ doesn¡¯t work at all¡¡±
Likewise, Rebal and Fu haven¡¯t lost consciousness, but have been hurt more than necessary by his hands and haven¡¯t yet risen from their knees.
We, who were more or less confident in our strength, couldn¡¯t do anything.
This is¡¡
¡°Hey, Earth. Just who the heck¡ is this guy?¡±
As she approached, the princess asked me because they still didn¡¯t know who he was.
Everyone except me and Kron wants to know the answer.
And that guy¡ I nced at Paripi¡
¡°He is¡ one of the Legendary Six Supremacy and Generals of the former Demon King Army¡¡¯The ck Sage, Paripi''¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, Elder sis Tsukshi and Karui, who knew nothing about the world outside of their secluded nation, only tilted their heads, but the expressions of the princess, Rebal, and Fu changed to one of astonishment.
¡°W, wh ¡ whaaat?! A Six Supremacy and General of the Demon King Army!?¡±
¡°Ridiculous, what are you saying, Earth! You think he is a Six Supremacy!¡±
¡°B, besides, I thought The ck Sage was dead¡¡±
They would never have dreamed that the opponent they were fighting against was a Six Supremacy.
¡°Hihahahaha, they are small fish, but they seem to have excellent grades. Do you know of me? No, it¡¯s embarrassing for me, I¡¯ve got social anxiety.¡±
Paripiughed in such a yful manner, irritating me, but no one was able to make anyment about it.
¡°But the grades are only excellent on paper. If you don¡¯t have much experience in actualbat, this is the limit. Your folks were already fighting us when they were your age.¡±
As if to make fun of¡ no, I guess he¡¯s actually making fun of us.
He was saying that we were ¡°just this much¡±.
And, much to my chagrin, I knew what the guy will say next.
¡°After all,pared to our time¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¡ the current generation just aren¡¯t as reliable¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°It seems¡ that¡¯s what you want to say, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ Pfft, hihaha.¡±
Those who lived in the old days of war always say that.
It seemed that my words were correct, and Paripiughed again gleefully.
¡°That¡¯s right. In fact, I¡¯m supposed to have been killed by the parents of those two there, the Sword Saint and the Great Mage¡ but, their children are so weak that it would be ridiculous to take revenge. That¡¯s right, Panay, not reliable, are you?¡±
Rebal and Fu cannot say anything back, even though they have regrettable expressions at Paripi¡¯s words.
And of course¡¡
¡°I know a lot about you¡ so the first thing I was disappointed with was¡¡ the son of Hiro and Mamu, the bloodline I had expectations of, being so hopelessly second-rate¡¡±
¡°Nu¡ wh, nh¡¡±
¡°Well, it wasn¡¯t just me, everyone thought so, didn¡¯t they? The imperial family, the nobles, the warriors, themoner pigs¡ of course¡¡ Hiro and Mamu¡ and even the guys next to you right now. The other second generation are pampered with high praises, but your evaluation seems to have been scathing. A good-for-nothing flop.¡±
This assessment of me. I never thought I¡¯d hear the same thing again in this ce.
¡°Don¡¯t be silly! I don¡¯t think of Earth like that!¡±
¡°Yes, Earth has been leading us since we were little¡ has been our center¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t speak like you know anything about Earth.¡±
The princess said, ¡°That¡¯s not true,¡± to Paripi¡¯s words, but¡
¡°Hihahaha, it¡¯s even worse because none of you knew what Earth thought of you and the voices around him, and you didn¡¯t realize it. If you¡¯re aware of it even a little, if you cared, Earth wouldn¡¯t have left the Imperial City. In the first ce, you guys who should have been together all along¡ especially you, princess? You don¡¯t even know how Earth was able to ¡®use that technique¡¯, so what¡¯s with all that pompous talk?¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±
They are shocked at the words Paripi fluently uttered.
Tch, what¡¯s going on now? What¡¯s with that face¡. shit¡¡ I¡¯m me, too¡ now I can¡¯t help feeling my heart breaking with all this¡
Chapter 213: Intermission (Princess) â‘¢
Chapter 213 ¨C Intermission (Princess) ¢Û
¡°We¡ cornered Earth?¡±
¡°That¡¯s ridiculous¡ what do you know ¡ about us¡¡±
We were unaware of Earth¡¯s feelings?
¡°Fu, Rebal, haven¡¯t your half-baked talents brought up an inferiorityplex in Earth?¡±
¡°¡±Eh!?¡±¡±
What is he talking about, this demon?
We¡¡ I¡¯ve¡ been with Earth ever since we were little.
We yed together, trained together, studied together, and we were in the same ss all the way through school.
I¡¯ve spent more time with Earth than Lord Hiro and Lady Mamu, who are too busy to spend much time with him, and more than anyone else, other than Sadiz.
¨D¨DAn~ das~ why~, that demon loli hag wanted me to give my son to her or something.
¨D¨Dhic¡ she was so in love with you that she tried to stop your marriage to Mamu¡ so she said if she couldn¡¯t have you, you should give her Earth¡
When I was little, my father was drinking in his private parlor with Lord Hiro.
They were off-duty, and there was no crown, they were not the Emperor and Warrior Prime, it was just a casual conversation between two childhood friends who were best friends.
As I happened to be passing by the room, I was curious enough to listen in from the outside.
¨D¨DWell, I told her that my son already has a bride, so she can¡¯t have him~.
¨D¨DI~ see~. So, you meant Phianse?
¨D¨DI was kinda, just going with the flow.
Suddenly, my name and Earth¡¯s name came up. I didn¡¯t really understand the back and forth of the conversation, but¡
¨D¨DI¡¯m not at all¡ then again, I wish it would happen¡ Phianse and Earth getting married and leading this Empire together for a long time¡
¨D¨DDahahaha, then me and Mamu would be rted to you!
¨D¨DA grandson with all of our blood, that¡¯s a great lineage!
I just happened to overhear their chat about Earth and me getting married¡
¨D¨DFather! Lord Hiro! Together with Earth, I will make the Empire prosper for the rest of my life!
Excited, I jumped out with a deration.
I¡¯ve always liked him.
Earth always pulled my hand out of the window of my room with a carefree smile.
¨D¨DPhianse! Come on, enough studying. Let¡¯s y outside together!
¨D¨DYes! Earth, let¡¯s go outside and y!
Both father and Lord Hiro were hoping that Earth will be with me in the future.
The people in the castle, the friends at school, everyone was looking forward to such a future¡ so¡¡ I¡
¡°You¡ bastard¡ t¡ take that back!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°I would never think of my Earth as a disappointment¡ I can¡¯t think in any way you say!¡±
Admittedly, Earth has been sluggish and dispirited for thest few years.
¨D¨DAs you are now, won¡¯t you be a disappointment to your father, the hero. Earth?
At that time, I might have treated my future husband harshly, as I would not spoil him as a forgiving wife.
However, I thought that if it was Earth, he would ovee such a barrier and¡ my expectations¡
¡°How could I possibly think that? That¡¯s what you¡¯re getting at because you ain¡¯t getting it at all, right? The more you think that your feelings are connected, that you understand each other, the more you misunderstand and think you can say something so smug.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Earth never got anyone to acknowledge him! Even though he was the son of a hero¡ unable to escape from the curse and reputation of the second generation¡ and no one tried to even look at him! No one was interested in Earth Lagann!¡±
No one was interested in Earth Lagann?
Those words¡
¨D¨DTell you everything? What? Like there¡¯s anything left to say now? When you finally looked at me, you¡¯re looking with such eyes¡. if my father and mother looked at me better, they¡¯d understand! If you two actually looked at me¡. what I bumped into, struggled with, agonized over¡ if the world hadn¡¯t imposed a convenient title on me¡ things wouldn¡¯t have been like this!
At that time¡
¨D¨DSo, what¡¯s wrong with me right now? I didn¡¯t cheat, I didn¡¯t y dirty tricks or anything! I trained and studied, I fought with my own strength! Only to have you have to look at me like that! You¡¯ve been ignoring the fact that I¡¯ve hit the wall, that I¡¯m a second generation who is a lost cause, or not good enough. And now that I¡¯ve finallye this far¡ Why!
I didn¡¯t understand why Earth was saying that.
But certainly, Earth did say that.
After using that technique in the Graduation Match¡
¨D¨DNow I understand. This country¡¡ including my father¡ no one cared about me¡ about Earth Lagann. What you were interested in is the conveniently ideal son of a hero ¡. as for me¡¡ Earth Lagann¡¡ I didn¡¯t matter¡
No¡.. I¡ such a thing¡¡ I¡¯m not the only one¡¡ no one¡¡
¨D¨DIf I knew it would be this hard¡ I would not want to be born as a hero¡¯s child¡ ¡®Father¡¯¡
No one thought that! At least not me!
¡°I don¡¯t think so! I¡ I was closest to Earth! I have been with Earth the longest and the most often!¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ right. Cut it out, bastard! The princess¡ Phianse was at least closer to Earth than anyone else¡ and I¡.. I was watching the two of them¡ so I understand. Earth was always next to Phianse¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. More than any of us¡¡±
On the way, even Rebal and Fu, who had left to study abroad, recognized me.
That¡¯s right, I¡
¡°You¡¯ve been with him the longest, the most, and yet this is all you get? So you must have been shallow and thin, right panay?¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eh!?¡±¡±¡±
Not how long, not how much?
Shallow? Thin?
What is this guy saying?
I¡ I am¡
¡°Hihaha, finally realizing it? Oops! Oh! Hihaha, hey hey, how is it? You didn¡¯t really know anything about the person you thought you were close with! Rather, how does it feel to know that you were the one who was hurting him?¡±
¡°Ah¡ I¡ I¡ no¡.. I¡¡±
¡°Hey, what kind of feelings are you having now? I¡¯m going to ask you again, because it¡¯s important! How do you feel right now? Hihaahahah!¡±
I¡.. I also hurt Earth¡
¡°Hey, bastard¡ you¡¯ve been rambling on for a while now.¡±
¡°Hmm~?¡±
¡°Just, going on and on about other people. As if you knew what you were talking about, but you¡¯re the one who¡¯s talking all smug. You don¡¯t know anything about me either.¡±
At that moment, as if to protect me from what I was being told¡ but¡¡ Earth¡¡ the way you put it¡ you agree with him?
I¡¯m a woman who doesn¡¯t know anything about you¡ is that what you¡¯re saying?
¡°Well, yes, I didn¡¯t care about your days in the Imperial City panay, but I have tremendous expectations and interest in you now, Earth.¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°You should have been second-rate, but in that match you astonished, disappointed, and taunted the people of the Imperial City. But I, like Sis Jamdi¡¯el, my heart trembled.¡±
While he mocked me and left me at a loss for words, he blurted out ufortable and self-serving things¡ no, Earth¡ don¡¯t listen to someone like that¡
¡°And that¡¯s why I¡¯m curious. Why can you use the power of the Great Demon? If Sis Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t teach you, then who did?¡±
The power that Earth can use? I¡¯m curious about that too.
That¡¯s why I thought I should learn about that¡ so I¡¯m the one who should know that first!
Not you! You¡
¡°Even if you were in contact with the other Six Supremacy¡ the hulking Gouda is dead and gone, and Boss Hakuki is no teacher. If the straightced La¡¯iphant was in contact, there¡¯s no way Hiro wouldn¡¯t know about it, and little Norja, that pervert would cor anyone she liked¡ I mean, no one could be taught the Great Demon Spiral in the first ce¡ that¡¯s why no one has learned the Great Demon King¡¯s techniques¡ so I can¡¯t imagine¡ what the answer is¡¡±
What¡¯s that about the Six Supremacy! Don¡¯t let the relics of the past, who should have already perished,e between me and Earth, who will live in the future!
¡°Please be done with all that! I really don¡¯t think any of it matters!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Sounds like you¡¯re talking about my Honey in that grating voice, but it¡¯s so unpleasant that it woke me up!¡±
But then¡ unlike me, who could only cover my ears to Paripi¡¯s words, the two women suddenly¡
¡°Oops, what¡¯s wrong, miss doll? Did youe to your senses too, little ninja?¡±
¡°Kron¡ Shinobu¡¡±
They stood in front of Paripi as if to protect Earth.
¡°After all, aren¡¯t you admitting you don¡¯t know anything about Honey, what are you talking about?¡±
¡°Hmm¡ then, do you know?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know either. The technique that Honey can use¡ the Great Demon Spiral, is that big swirling skill, right? I don¡¯t know how Honey can use it.¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°What I do know is that Honey¡¯s family is made up of a father, a mother, and a maid who is like family. His final academic background is a dropout of the Imperial Warrior Academy. He doesn¡¯t have any favorite subjects in particr, but he doesn¡¯t have any subjects that he hates either. His dream is to be a big shot in the future. His hobby is image training, his favorite food is omelet rice, his least favorite food is green pepper and broli, and his type of woman is one who is usually reserved and cold but is really kind. His first love was at 4 years old. If he goes on a date, he would like to eat a homemade lunch box at the park. His favorite underwear color¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Ah, what¡¯s happening all of a sudden panay?¡±
¡°Yes, something like this. So, I don¡¯t know how Honey can use that technique, but I know this. Honey learned that technique¡ I¡¯m sure he put in a lot of effort and learned it¡ don¡¯t you think? And isn¡¯t that the most important thing?¡±
That¡¯s¡¡ unexpectedly, was a shocking statement, as if my heart had been clenched.
It¡¯s not about how he can use it. But how Earth learned it?
It may be because someone taught it to him. I suppose that is what Paripi wants to know.
But for Shinobu, it¡¯s not about who taught him, but about whether or not Earth worked hard.
¡°Honey is that kind of person. A man who has a passionate heart and sticks to his own will. I have seen with my own eyes how that will stopped even his good friend who once went out of control.¡±
¡°Shinobu¡¡±
That¡¯s right ¡ Earth ¡ was making an effort¡
¡°Yes, Earth is a person who has a strong will and works harder than anyone else. And Earth is a person who does not boast of the effort itself, but shows it in the results. Everyone at Cacretale knows that.¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°And Earth is verypassionate. Because Earth is a hard-worker¡ he can¡¯t turn a blind eye to those¡¡ who are trying to step up and do the same, he reaches out to them and lines up with them, sometimes pushing their backs. That¡¯s the Earth we admire.¡±
And the Earth that the demon woman spoke of was a side of Earth that I did not know.
Maybe it was like that in the past, but I hadn¡¯t seen that Earth in years.
Leaving the Imperial City, and in a ce I did not know, Earth showed a side of himself I did not know to others, and that¡¯s who Earth was now?
¡°Hmm¡ hey, Shinobu, Kron¡ it¡¯s embarrassing.¡±
¡°Ara, but I¡¯m proud of you.¡±
¡°I was just telling the truth.¡±
His cheeks were tinged with embarrassment and he was tongue-tied, but he somewhat didn¡¯t seem as dissatisfied¡ no¡ no¡ no, no, no! Earth! Earth!
¡°Oh no, you guys are also passionate. Thanks for the treat. Well, the fact that you are unconsciously giving the princess a finishing blow is pretty harsh ¡ Hihahahaha, so easy going.¡±
¡°Well, that should do it. Thanks to you running your mouth, I¡¯ve healed up. Now I¡¯m about to shut you up for good.¡±
Saying that, in front of the legendary Six Supremacy, Earth showed a re.
Beside him was neither the stunned Rebal nor Fu, much less me who is crouching down pathetically.
Standing beside Earth right now was¡ not¡ me¡¡
Special Shoutout to all my Patrons! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!

Chapter 214: That Sort of Situation
Chapter 214 ¨C That Sort of Situation
¡°Fuh~¡ Breakthrough!¡±
Silence him.
¡ºQuite so. Even though he was once my subordinate, he was still unpleasant¡ and frolicked a little too much¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded at my words as he stood by me¡
¡ºNow, on to the counterattack. Tis time to silence him and put a twitch in that smile.¡»
Listening to all those reliable words, I catch my breath, and clench my fists to check the sensations in my body.
No problems. Shinobu¡¯s treatment worked and I¡¯m back in form.
In addition¡
¡ºWell then, child. To begin with¡¡»
¡°Right, Shinobu, Kron, Princess, Rebal, and Fu. It¡¯s a bit dangerous, so I need you all to go to the corner of the room. Take everyone who has copsed with you.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯ll take care of him myself.¡±
The first thing I had to do was to keep everyone away.
¡ºI believed that maid, Machio, the ninja girl and Kron would be a hit, but the child would be distracted should the others be attacked¡ therein lies the problem. That being the case, it would be best if they were not there in the first ce.¡»
That¡¯s what he said.
Yes, that¡¯s the reason I was poisoned in the first ce.
I was distracted by the fact the bald guy, who was an enemy, turned out that way.
With the current group, even if I¡¯m told, ¡°don¡¯t react no matter who gets hit on your side,¡± it¡¯s impossible.
Then, ording to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s judgment, it was better to fight alone from the beginning.
Well, losing Shinobu¡¯s Ninja Arts and Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eye was unfortunate.
¡°Hold on, wait, Earth! What do you mean?!¡±
¡°Earth¡ we should work together here.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Earth! We also¡¡±
¡°Honey, we die together.¡±
¡°I¡¯m with you¡ I said that, didn¡¯t I?¡±
However, the princess and the others didn¡¯t seem to back down at my words.
Well, that¡¯s a natural reaction.
These guys would say ¡°let¡¯s fight together¡±.
¡ºYou must persuade them somehow. In this sort of situation¡ they will slow you down. Tell them so.¡»
Yeah. Can I say ¡°you guys are in the way, so you should back down¡±¡ like that!
Shinobu, Kron, and¡ the past that I¡¯ve already cut off¡ but, after all, they were childhood friends who used to be good friends in the past, and now, even if it¡¯s awkward, I can¡¯t say that so inly to the guys who have chased me all the way here. I can¡¯t be that coldhearted¡
¡°¡¡ And we¡ no¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Hey, Earth¡it¡¯s ¡®something like that¡¯¡ right?¡±
Fu, who was about to refuse to back down with everyone, seemed calm but with a somewhat sad expression¡
¡°We are¡ holding you back¡¡ rather, we¡¯re a liability¡ it¡¯s that sort of thing¡ isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Fu¡¡±
¡°We can¡¯t help Earth¡ is that what you¡¯re saying?¡±
I didn¡¯t say it, but it seems that only Fu has guessed what I really meant.
¡°I thought we caught up today, but¡ you¡¯ve already gone a lot farther than us¡ is it?¡±
Speaking of which, it¡¯s been that way since I was a kid¡ this guy¡¡ unlike the princess, me, and Rebal, he always took a step back, appeased everyone, read the air¡
¡°Wh¡ what¡¯s that? W, we¡¡±
¡°We¡¯re¡ holding him back¡¡ is it?¡±
The princess and Rebal looked shocked by Fu¡¯s words.
¡°Honey¡ kuh¡ urg¡¡ is that so? Honey.¡±
¡°Well¡ is that what you mean? Earth.¡±
And Shinobu and Kron had regretful expressions.
¡°Princess, let¡¯s go.¡±
¡°Wh, at¡ Fu¡¡ why¡¡ I¡¡±
¡°You too, Rebal. Let¡¯s keep the injured out of the way.¡±
¡°Wh, h, hey, Fu! What are you saying?! You can¡¯t let Earth fight a Six Supremacy alone¡ we have to work together¡¡±
¡°We¡¯re weak. As we are now, we¡¯ll only be a nuisance to Earth¡¡±
¡°¡±Eh!?¡±¡±
I don¡¯t want to admit it. Such thoughts appeared on everyone¡¯s faces, but Fu put his hand on the shoulders of the princess and Rebal and pulled them away.
Seeing this, with aplicated expression, Shinobu nodded with a sigh.
¡°If that¡¯s¡ what it takes to beat this monster¡ I¡¯ll quietly withdraw so as not to bother Honey.¡±
¡°Shinobu¡¡±
¡°Honey. Someday I¡¯ll be the woman who stands by your side. So for now¡ I¡¯ll silently be watching your back.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh.¡±
On the other hand¡
¡°Earth¡ I¡.. I¡¯ve just been relying on you¡¡±
While convinced by Fu and Shinobu, Kron had a somewhat apologetic expression.
Then¡ finally¡¡
¡ºNo, there is no time for that, child. The enemy is not so good-natured, but a brute.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Hmm¡¡¹
¡ºWell, if possible¡ without change, pretend to be unaware and go for the counter. In four seconds.¡»
I nodded to Tre¡¯ainar in my mind and looked at Kron¡
¡°Kron¡ then¡¡ can you give me a shot?¡±
¡°Y, yes!¡±
When I suggested that she at least help me a little, Kron nodded happily and opened her magic eye¡ª
¡°Hihaha. How long, will you goof ar¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Corkscrew¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
Just as Kron was about to strengthen me with her magic eye, Paripi thought he caught me off guard and attacked the front with a sharp w like a fiend to take me by surprise.
But, having heard it from Tre¡¯ainar beforehand, and without panicking, I unleashed the counter shockwave on the right from the front.
¡°Earth¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Shinobu! Take Kron with you!¡±
¡°Okay, Honey! Good luck!¡±
¡°Fu! Rebal ¡ Princess!¡±
¡°¡¡ y, yes, Earth! Come on, Rebal! You too Princess!¡±
From here on, I will concentrate only on Paripi.
I¡¯m not going to think about anything else but working with Tre¡¯ainar to take this thing down.
So, stay back.
¡°Eh¡ forgive me¡¡ I¡¯m¡¡ just weak¡ Earth.¡±
Fu pulled with a strong tone, and maybe Rebal finally understood, I heard a voice full of humiliation and frustration, but his presence was moving away from me.
¡°Uh ¡ ugh ¡ gu¡¡±
And¡.. tears? Princess? Was it that frustrating? I haven¡¯t seen tears from that princess since we were children¡ no, that doesn¡¯t matter now.
¡°Come on, you ck Weirdo!¡±
¡ºNow, rx those muscles that have stiffened after resting, and get into the zone!¡»
Right now, I¡¯m just going to smash this guy.
¡°Hihaha it doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m a weirdo or a sage¡ but hey, don¡¯t get all cocky thinking you can take me on alone!¡±
Now, it¡¯s time for a repetition.
Same as when I fought Jamdi¡¯el, two-on-one, with the help of Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºHere hees. But given his ws, avoid infighting ¡®for now¡¯. Concentrate on the outfight. That is where it begins. If he cannot catch you, loses his temper and attacks Kron, I am sure to notice that first. At that time, think of it as a chance and hit the Great Magic Spiral. In other words, you have nothing to worry about!¡»
¡°Osu! ¡¾Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿!¡±
The only difference was that this time the opponent had no hesitation in killing me.
But that makes me more nervous.
That tension invited me into a deeper sea of concentration.
¡ºAnd here is the point. If he does nothing superfluous, but attempts to anticipate your movements and capture you on his own¡ change gears.¡»
Then, as I tried to focus with the small movements of my feet, Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºTo finally end him, you must have an infight at some point. However, as youck poison resistance, a scratch of his ws will be fatal. To avoid that, there is something that must be done first. That is¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
I felt a little conflicted inside, but¡ but¡¡ he came up with a n that seemed to appeal to me somehow, or one that was going to bring me to tears.
Chapter 215: The Seven Stars
Chapter 215 ¨C The Seven Stars
It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve fought an opponent with a different reach.
But this time, he¡¯s not the kind of guy who makes big attacks like Mr. Aka and Mr. Machio.
He¡¯s faster and stronger than Bro and Rebal, and just a scratch of his attack is fatal.
If it was a proper fight, Jamdi¡¯el would be stronger, but unlike Jamdi¡¯el, who was holding back in the fight against me, he was ruthless.
In other words, he may be the strongest enemy ever.
I¡¯ve never fought anyone like this guy¡
¡ºNow, tis a rhythm with the left shockwave.¡»
¡¡ yeah, that¡¯s right. I¡¯ve had the experience of fighting someone who¡¯s far stronger than Paripi almost every day.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Ah~, that again! Boring.¡±
Move constantly with footwork, and hit the left long-distance punch while adjusting the timing.
However, this guy is a Six Supremacy, it¡¯ll only annoy him a little and won¡¯t give a fatal injury.
¡°You can¡¯t beat me just by pping me around, can you?¡±
Yes, to deal damage to this guy, hit the right cannon or the Great Magic Spiral directly.
But in order to do that, I have to close the distance between us and create a situation where I cannd a sure hit.
¡°Hey¡ don¡¯t run away!¡±
¡°Eh!¡±
¡°Hey, ora! Ra!¡±
Focus on everything about Paripi, his eyes, his footsteps, the creak of his muscles.
Always maintain a distance outside of Paripi¡¯s attack range, and if the opponent tries to close in, retreat by that amount.
After repeating the attack several times, I could see that Paripi was getting more and more frustrated.
¡°Hmm¡ you really have bothersome legs¡ more quality of running rather than speed? No way, Hiro¡¯s son was a second-rate swordsman, but his punches and footwork are decent.¡±
¡ºHe will suddenly unleash a spell in the course of the conversation. Maybe to strike at the moment your mind rxes at apliment? Pay it no mind, crush it.¡»
¡°But this isn¡¯t a talent. It¡¯s definitely the fruits of effort. I see, you¡¯re a genius in that sense¡ yep, a genius at working hard! Dark Magic¡ª¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Jab¡¿¡±
¡°Hebu!¡±
Paripi suddenly tried to unleash his magic in the flow of the conversation, but I was able to calmly deal with it beforehand because I had been given an earful by Tre¡¯ainar.
I mmed my left into his hand and mouth as he tried to invoke magic.
¡°Don¡¯t talk so much. All you¡¯re saying is a bunch of gibberish anyway.¡±
¡°¡¡ AH©aAH©a¡¡IS©a THAT©a SO©a?¡±
The corner of his mouth was smiling, but the blood-vessels Paripi¡¯s forehead was prominent, it¡¯s as if I could hear them snapping in anger.
But, he¡¯s not as naive as Jamdi¡¯el to forget himself and rush at me.
¡°Now¡ I¡¯m really ¡¡ pissed off, but ¡¡ what to do about it?!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care?!¡±
¡°This brat¡ then¡¡±
¡ºChild, stay alert. To distract you here, Paripi may attack Kron and your friends.¡»
It¡¯s the same tactic as when the bald guy was first done in.
A daring attack to my surroundings just to distract and upset me.
¡ºShould his attention turn from you to the people over there, beat him down mercilessly.¡»
But as long as Tre¡¯ainar tells me in advance, the moment this guy deviates from me is also my opportunity.
Then, I can go for it¡
¡°¡.. tch¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that moment, Paripi seemed to think about something for a moment, but he didn¡¯t attack everyone, and he remained focused on me.
¡ºHou~, this one¡ apparently, he seems more vignt than I expected.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar smiled at Paripi¡¯s state.
¡ºFrom the way you have fought so far¡ your movements¡¡ it may be dangerous to take focus away even for a moment just to provoke you¡ such are Paripi¡¯s thoughts.¡»
What an honor¡ can I think that?
A Six Supremacy was being wary of me.
¡ºAs such you must concentrate more. Do not underestimate your opponent, remain vignt, victory against a focused Six Supremacy would be difficult, would it not?¡»
Well, that¡¯s right. It means that the difficulty level has increased considerably.
And at the same time¡¡
¡°Ah~ I give¡ I would have liked to know if I could¡ the mystery surrounding you. Then, I¡¯d love for us to be friends and enliven the new era ahead panay¡¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°I give I give¡ it¡¯s not mature to get pissed off at being teased by a kid, but ¡¡ okay, let¡¯s just tear it up properly!¡±
His ferocity grew. This is¡¡
¡ºChild!¡»
¡°Eh, so fast!?¡±
¡°Hey, stop prancing around, will yoooooooooouuu!¡±
He howled, and the speed went up ¡ª but if I shift the timing with my misdirection¡
¡ºTis a wide range attack! Blow it away with a tornado of the Great Magic Spiral!¡»
¡°Get ripped apart¡ ¡¾Wicked Funeral w Melody¡¿! y ?do re mi fa so ti do?!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Wall¡¿!¡±
¡°Hihahaha, you got it! Moreover, a surprisingly good decision! ¡¡ But!¡±
Not a blow or a medium-range attack, but a wide range attack.
If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll throw everything off with the tornado wall that is created by raising the Great Magic Spiral above my head¡
¡°If you use the Great Demon Spiral in the breakthrough state, your magical power will be quickly exhausted!¡±
¡ºLet him believe so, do not use Magical Breathing yet! Leave only ¡®three kilo-ss spells¡¯ worth of magic power!¡»
Paripi doesn¡¯t know. That I can use Magical Breathing.
Then, this was another strategy.
¡°Hihaha, hello sunny tornado!¡±
¡°¡¾Earth Misdirection Sh¡ª¡±
¡°Right! Your scampering is an eyesore, but in short, as long as I shatter what¡¯s underfoot!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
It¡¯s a strategy to ruin my foothold and prevent me from using footwork, which was also used in the battle against Jamdi¡¯el a few days ago.
With a slight attack and defense, Paripi also saw through my weakness and exploited it.
However, I have already experienced that move.
¡°Terra Spell, ¡¾Kilo Earth Road¡¿!¡±
I crouched down and put my hand on the shattered floor andid the dirt at my feet.
¡°What!? Even though it¡¯s beginner¡¯s magic, it¡¯s a terran attribute magic¡ footing?¡±
Create a foothold so that I can use footwork.
This surprised Paripi a little¡ª¡ª
¡°Hihaha, how cheeky. So easy going!¡±
¡°Bubo!?¡±
Before I could stand back up and use my footwork, he mmed a middle kick into my body.
¡°A moment¡¯s dy can be fatal on the battlefield! Even the slightest stop in front of me is fatal!¡±
¡ºHere hees! Closebat! Look only at his arm! You need not pay attention to the feet! Brace for foot attacks! Tis impossible to avoid everything!¡»
¡°Shaaaaaaaah!¡±
¡°Gafu?!¡±
Finally, I was caught.
I can avoid his ws with my dynamic vision and zone, but it¡¯s impossible to avoid all of the Six Supremacy¡¯s martial arts with just that.
I was too focused on my upper body to deal with his lower body kicks.
Once again, Paripi¡¯s middle kick pierced my abdomen and my internal organs were viscerally shocked.
¡°Hihahahaha, are you only paying attention to my ws? No, you¡¯re so wary of my ws, but as a result, you can¡¯t follow my footwork! And as a result, you¡¯re getting wed!¡±
¡ºHis ws will swing down from overhead, dodge to the left, and immediately roll away. As hees around, take the toe kick with your forehead and endure it!¡»
¡°Hmm¡ bugu!¡±
His feet stopped. His face looked down in agony. At Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s direction, I rolled across the ground and backed away, but was kicked as hard as possible by his toe as he went around me.
¡°Gahh¡ g, ¡¾Great Demon Head-butt¡¿!¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
Has my forehead been crushed? My head was ringing¡ if it weren¡¯t for the determination to ¡°endure¡± for a moment, my consciousness would definitely have been blown away.
Butpared to Mr. Aka¡¯s punch¡
¡°There! He stopped for a moment with pain in his toes! Smash into his crotch! Of course that¡¯s not ¨C¡°
¡°Crush! ¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Oops¡ Hihaha, can¡¯t let you crush me, for the sake of the maidens of the world! But¡¡ you did it, kid!¡±
¡°Gah!?¡±
I hit his toe with a Great Demon Head-butt, but there was no damage. On the contrary, he kicked me in the face once more, as if hit with a stone¡
¡°Earth! Oh¡ no, no¡¡±
¡°S, strong¡ too strong¡ this is a Six Supremacy¡ we¡¡±
¡°Honey¡¡±
Yes¡¡ I hear¡ voices of concern for me¡
¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore! As I thought, me too!¡±
¡°W¡ wait, princess!¡±
¡°Fu! Let go! If this goes on, Earth will be killed!¡±
¡°But!¡±
¡°But nothing!¡±
She can¡¯t help but think so¡ but¡¡ it¡¯s all for this¡
¡ºTch, is that the limit of their patience? However, I simply hope they not to get in the way¡¡»
This is all ording to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s expectations.
All to win.
I used my martial arts and got cornered by him, and from there¡ so¡¡
¡°Earth¡ I¡.. I¡¯ve seen you. I¡¯m still looking at you. Believing in you¡ so¡¡ win! Earth! Fight on!¡±
That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t need any help.
Just cheer me on and pray for me, that¡¯s all!
And¡..
¡ºThere! A backwards turn to throw a kick! Receive it at that angle, in that position¡ be blown away! And right after that, release your magic! Cast two kinds of spells! A mud wall to momentarily block his view¡ and a thunder spell after picking ¡®that¡¯ up!¡»
I¡¯ll do it!
I just need it to work this once!
This was myst leg¡ and¡.. no worries.
¡ºEven if he is wary of you¡ for Paripi right now, ¡®that attack¡¯ alone will bepletely unexpected! A blind spot in his thoughts! He can neither react nor respond! Strike him down!¡»
And then, my bad¡ on the ground over there¡ I¡¯ll borrow it without permission, okay?
Gran Chario.

Chapter 216: Intermission (The Lowest Demon)
Chapter 216 ¨C Intermission (The Lowest Demon)
Irritating little shit!
I¡¯m a little cautious, but when ites to simple physical ability, there were quite a few at this level in the turbulent times of the past.
Tearing him apart is easy enough.
But, there are a lot of interesting mysteries around this kid.
I really don¡¯t get it, and my curiosity is piqued panay.
So what to do?
Well, just gut him, and if he¡¯s lucky enough to still be alive, I¡¯ll think about it!
¡°Hihahahahahaha!¡±
Anyway, the martial art and footwork that this kid has desperately mastered are certainly at a high level, but not for me!
All I should be concerned about with his technique is the Great Demon Spiral.
But with how he¡¯s using the breakthrough, he should be about out of magic power.
Also, even if they don¡¯t work on me, I just need to watch out for his ¡°footwork¡±, ¡°shockwaves¡±, any ¡°lucky punch¡± and ¡°counterpunch¡±.
Especially, depending on where the punch hits, even I could suffer a little damage.
This kid is scared of my poison ws and doesn¡¯t want to get close, but he will if he¡¯s cornered.
¡°Soiya, off you go!¡±
¡°Gaha?!¡±
¡°How¡¯s my footwork?¡±
He¡¯s so worried about my ws, he can¡¯t handle my kicks.
The fact that he got hit by a backward kick, a big one at that, was proof of this.
He violently got knocked away from me.
And after rolling on the ground like that¡ the finishing blow!
¡°It¡¯s over! Hihahahaha, die!¡±
It ends here. It took some doing, but I¡¯ll finally gut him!
At the end of the roll after being blown away, the kid will be stabbed by my ws¨D¨D¨D
¡°tsu, Terra Spell, ¡¾Kilo Mud Wall¡¿!¡±
¡°Not gonna give up! Still with the struggle! So easy going!¡±
He rolled over, put his hand on the ground, and pulled out a Mud Wall.
Even with so little magic left in him, he was still struggling?
But in the end, it¡¯s only kilo ss. Might as well be a piece of paper.
At best, it blocked my field of vision¡ huh?
¡°Hihahahahahaha, I¡¯ll smash them all together head-on!¡±
Oh~, I see. Is that your goal?
Block my view, brace yourself behind the wall, and m a counter into me as I break through the wall ande rushing?
When the wall breaks down, a desperate counter attack towards me?
Well, that¡¯s all you can do.
Now then, do I blow it all up with magic? But I was too excited earlier, and to be honest, I don¡¯t have much magic left in me either.
It would be a piece of cake to kill the rest of them all, but I¡¯d better conserve a little magic in case the Seraphs waiting outside burst in?
Besides, now that I have a general idea of the power of this kid, I can just knock him out head on without any hassle!
I¡¯ll break down the wall, pause for a moment there, and intercept the kid as he leaps out.
I¡¯ll take the counterpunch and fake it, and the moment he defenselessly throws his body out first, knock him down into despair!
As if to hammer into his body that there was no hope at all for anyst clever strategy!
¡°Oruuaah!¡±
Once that was decided, first of all, the Mud Wall, which was almost like scrap paper, was smashed by force, and from behind the wall¡
¡°Hihahaha,e on? But I¡¯ve taken all you got¡ huh?¡±
I broke down the wall and said, ¡°Come on, jump out¡± and I poised myself with my hands out to catch the punch.
But what jumped out from behind the wall was¡
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
There was¡ the nostalgic¡ link to my past¡ the Hero¡¡
¡°Hi¡ Hiro? No¡.. Huh!?¡±
That¡¯s not¡ Hiro!
It¡¯s not that he¡¯s as immensely powerful as that idiot Hiro can be, nor does he radiate an overwhelming sword aura.
And yet, for a moment, I mistook him.
So much so that the kid that made me feel the shadow of Hiro¡
¡°Uooooooooooooooohh!¡±
The kid, not with a fist¡ holding a sword in his other hand¡ jumped out¡¡ with a horizontal sh at me¡
¡°This is thest Magic Sword in my life! Final, ¡¾Thunder sh¡¿!¡±
¡°Th¡ that move!?¡±
Magic was nothingpared to Hiro¡¯s. Even the power of the sword.
But, that Magic Sword here!?
Not a fist?!
Not a punch!?
No, indeed, the information said that he was a Magic Swordsman before the Graduation Match!
Still, it waspletely unexpected that this kid would wield a Magic Sword in this situation right now.
From my wrists onwards, which were defenselessly exposed¡
¡°Wh, uh, oh, wh, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt?!¡±
Ridiculous! Wh, hot, pain, c, cut off!? Both my hands!? Regeneration, no, magic power, not immediately¡ how?!
¡°Ah¡ that technique! That move of Hiro¡¯s¡ and Earth¡¯s!¡±
¡°Earth¡ here¡¡ sword!¡±
¡°B, but! He did it! Earth¡¯s sword¡ a Six Supremacy¡¯s hands!¡±
¡°Honey!¡±
¡°Amazing¡ Earth!¡±
A¡ oooww¡ damn brats, were surprised¡ no, of course.
Even those guys were surprised.
The kids who were his childhood friends and the doll who stayed with him until recently were also surprised.
In other words, it was unexpected for everyone here, including me, that this kid would use a Magic Sword at this point.
That¡¯s why I was hit!
¡°The blind spot in your thinking, let me hit you!¡±
¡°Th, this, braaat! Ts, th, that sword, where did you¡ Huh?!¡±
¡°Your hands can¡¯t regenerate right away, can they?¡±
The sword that kid was holding, oh yes, the sword that was used by one of the small fish that I kicked away.
He was blown away and lying on the floor¡ this kid picked up the sword that ¡°just happened¡± to be lying around after I hit him, and at thest minute, used this Magic Sword!?
Blind spot in my thinking? Certainly, this was totally unexpected, and I was rather too surprised to react.
The only thing I watched out for was the kid¡¯s footwork and counterpunches¡
¡°Ha~, ha~, ha~¡ how¡ how is, how about thaaaaaaaaaat I did it!¡±
You mean he can cut off my hands?
As I recall, ording to reports, the power of this kid¡¯s Magic Sword is second-rate.
His sword skills should be inferior to the princess and the Second Sword Saint, and I kicked them both away earlier.
But what he did just now was definitely much stronger than those two!
Even I couldn¡¯t handle it on the spur of the moment!
¡°It¡¯s been six months since I learned to fight the way I do now. But I¡¯ve been working hard for more than 10 years with the Magic Sword.¡±
¡°Ah, huh?¡±
¡°But then one day, ¡®he¡¯ told me that the Magic Sword didn¡¯t suit me. No matter how hard I try, I can¡¯t surpass my father.¡±
And what?
Even though I was caught off guard, he still achieved the great feat of shing my hands off with a Magic Sword, as one of the Six Supremacy, this kid suddenly ¡ no¡.. I¡¯m sure about that¡ previously he talked about¡¡
¡°That story¡ hey, Rebal! Certainly in your match¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s what Earth said¡ in the match against me¡¡±
¡°At the time, I didn¡¯t know it was going on at all, but¡e to think of it¡¡ who? Who would say that?¡±
¡°Oh, was Honey originally a Magic Swordsman?¡±
¡°Well! Was that so?¡±
That¡¯s right. In that match, I also had a peek through the magic crystal, that kid said that¡ That¡¯s right¡¡ who was that?
And the second generation kids, don¡¯t they know who either?
So even Hiro and the others don¡¯t know¡ the one who made him give up the Magic Sword¡ for his current fighting style¡
¡°Hmm¡ Little man¡ well done¡ and¡.. that was thest time¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ Sadiz, are you awake?¡±
¡°Yes, princess¡ don¡¯t worry¡¡±
¡°Oh, and more than that, Sadiz¡ about Earth¡ you¡¡ do you know anything?¡±
¡°¡¡ yes¡¡ more or less¡¡ I¡¯ve heard of it.¡±
¡°What?¡±
It seems that the maid who had fainted has woken up, but only that maid seemed to know something.
¡°I¡¯ve been trying for 10 years to get good at it. But you know what ¡®he¡¯ just said to me ¡®now¡¯.¡±
Hey, I don¡¯t get it. Who the hell is that? Hey, it¡¯s not the other Six Supremacy. Then who else?
¡°My Magic Sword can¡¯t surpass my father. Still, that doesn¡¯t mean my 10 years have been aplete waste¡ he said¡¡ today¡¡ it brought me to this moment!¡±
This guy is bbing on because he¡¯s high on excitement, but¡ no, my hands are ¡ useless, what should I do? Calm down¡¡ don¡¯t get upset about this¡ for now, distance¡
¡°My ten years were enough to give my fathers¡¯ former rival, a Six Supremacy, a pretty good shot. That¡¯s enough for me! And this is myst sword! And from here on, it¡¯s my way! Come on, let¡¯s get this over with!¡±
And this kid didn¡¯t want to beat me with his sword, he put the sword on the floor and raised his fist.
This guy, from here on, with his bare hands¡ now that my poisonous ws were gone¡
¡°Hihahaha, I was certainly surprised, but¡ don¡¯t get cocky! You just shed my hands off! Is it because you no longer have to be scared by poisonous ws? But kid, now you¡¯repletely out of magic, aren¡¯t you? Now that you can¡¯t even use the breakthrough, I¡¯ll¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Su~, fuh~¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Just now¡¡ he took something like a deep breath¡ the magic power of the kid that should bepletely empty¡ eh?
No, no, no, no way!?
¡°What?! M, magic power is restored¡ what¡¡ no way!? No way, it¡¯s Magical Breathing!?¡±
¡°Kuhahahaha! You finally got to show me, your stupid surprised face! But from here on out, I¡¯m going to be all over you! Breakthrough!!¡±
The distance I had nned to have was closed in an instant!
Seriously, his magical power recovered and he could use the breakthrough!
Hey, this is really what¡¯s happening! Magical Breathing!?
Like the Great Demon Spiral, Magical Breathing was something even Sis couldn¡¯t do!
It¡¯s more of a physical skill than magic! That¡¯s why she said it can¡¯t be copied even with the Heraldic Eye!
But why can this kid do it!?
A cheat technique that allows him to unleash magic almost inexhaustibly.
Who!?
Who taught him!?
¡°Let¡¯s go! Goraaah!¡±
Unless he was directly under the tutge of the Great Demon King, absolutely no one can¨D¨D¨D¨D
Great Demon King¡?
¡°Im, possible¡¡±
No, how could something so weird pop up¡in this situation.
But the ¡°no way¡± that went through my head made me more upset than ever.
The Great Demon King is dead. There should be no doubt about that.
But what if¡?
Why? That should be impossible. Yet, if we ignore that impossibility, it all makes sense.
This kid shouldn¡¯t even know me, but he¡¯s wary of my poisonous ws¡
¡°Listen¡ Earth¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Heartbreak Shot¡¿!!¡±
¡°Bupyupa¡ wa¡ gah¡¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sr Plexus Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Kaeh¡¡±
¡°You¡¯ve kicked me too many times, you bastard!¡±
The heart and¡ the sr plexus¡ not good¡¡ on top of that¡¡ the timing, the angle, the power couldn¡¯t be worse¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smash¡¿!!!!¡±
¡°Gah¡ Wa,it¡ let¡¯s talk man to¡¡±
¡°No need to listen to anything from you, bastard!¡±
¡°N, no, seriously¡ it¡¯s really¡ importan¡¡ ah.¡±
¡°You know! There¡¯s nothing I want to hear about, at all¡¡±
And my jaw¡ it¡¯s bad¡¡ this guy, all these powerful repeated hits to my weak points¡
¡°That¡¯s all on you, bastaaaaaaaaard!!¡±
Damn it. I was also more or less confident in my toughness.
I was confident that I wouldn¡¯t fall no matter how many hits I took from a kid ignorant of war and some misceneous small fish.
However, if fists of this level were all mmed directly into my vitals, it wouldn¡¯t be a fluke.
And without my hands, I can¡¯t defend myself.
I can¡¯t anticipate his movement because I¡¯m at the mercy of this guy¡¯s footwork, so I can¡¯t even evade.
Or rather, I can¡¯t move because I¡¯m paralyzed by blows to the heart, sr plexus, and jaw!
Certainly, this fighting style is more troublesome than the Magic Sword.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Rush¡¿!!¡±
After all, I need this kid!
There¡¯s something about this kid.
And he will definitely¡ make this boring world and era worthwhile.
I can¡¯t kill this kid¡ look at him!
I want to see what this kid is going to do¨D¨D¨D
Author¡¯s Note
Many people were wondering who Gran Chario was¡ or it¡¯s amazing that you don¡¯t remember him!
He¡¯s the guy who came out in the Arcane True Zenith Tournament. Introduced in Chapter 131 and conversed with Earth in Chapter 135.
Thinking back, because I wanted to do this, even though it was a fighting tournament, I made Gran Chario the only swordsman. Somehow, I didn¡¯t want to borrow Rebal¡¯s sword, so¡
Oh, I got a review called Spirit! I¡¯m sorry I overlooked it.
23 cases! 23¡ ni san¡Um, is that the right number for me?
Chapter 217: Triumphant Enough
Chapter 217 ¨C Triumphant Enough
Paripi, the bastard was surprised.
Obviously. Even I was surprised when Tre¡¯ainar first told me.
With my Magic Sword, cut his hands off.
¨D¨D Are you out of your mind!? I¡¯ve wasted ten years of effort on the Magic Sword, and now¡
There was no way my half-baked Magic Sword would work against a Six Supremacy.
For all that, there¡¯s no way I could take him¡
¨D¨D Certainly, you are ill-suited for the Magic Sword. However, the days of effort spent were not in vain!
With a serious expression on his face¡
¨D¨D Do not dismiss that time spent as a ¡°waste¡±. Also allow me to enlighten you. Having fought and trained in your current fighting style, it has led to the growth of the arms, wrists,tissimus dorsi muscles, legs, hips and other parts of your body that are also necessary for a swordsman, and your magic has also been further refined with the use of breakthroughs and Magical Breathing. In other words, your Magic Sword prowess has naturally risen to a level beyond what it was six months ago.
¨D¨D Wh, at¡?
¨D¨D A sudden blow would be enough to sever his arm. As you currently are, the power of your Magic Sword would surpass that princess or even the Second Sword Saint.
Don¡¯t dismiss it as a waste. It all depends on how you use it.
With the endorsement of the Great Demon King, nothing else could grant me more confidence.
And, just as he said, the Magic Sword that I had spent over ten years on was rewarded here and now.
So I¡¯m satisfied.
Now, I¡¯m really free from regrets.
All that¡¯s left is¡¡
¡°All I have to do now is to blow this bastard away!¡±
¡°Ka, gah¡¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Low Altitude Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
Paripi, who has lost both hands, can¡¯t handle my punches at all.
I hit him with all my might, feeling the numbness in my hand.
I just single-mindedly hit the legendary Six Supremacy.
¡°Gah, this brat! With my kick¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡ºYou need not take anymore! Focus and hit him in the opposite direction!¡»
A guy, who wasn¡¯t a kicking specialist like Bro, carelessly tried to kick me in the face with a front kick.
I responded to his oing front kick with a right uppercut to the Achilles tendon.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Short Upper¡¿!¡±
¡°Gah oh, ogoooooooooooooooooooooooooohh!¡±
Severed with a snap¡ no, I crushed it.
¡°Kid, just, gah, hold on¡ Time time!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°Ha, hagah?! Oh, hagaaaah!¡±
Then, standing on one leg, his face contorted in pain, Paripi hurriedly tries to stop me, but¡ I punched that defenseless jaw.
Evade¡¡ no, he didn¡¯t evade the punch¡ I dislocated his jaw!
He can¡¯t speak fluently anymore with this.
¡°A, awesome¡ Earth! The Magic Sword he just used was amazing, but¡ I should say, he¡¯s even more with his fists¡¡±
¡°This is Earth¡ yes¡ he¡¯s even stronger than¡¡ when he overwhelmed me in our match!¡±
¡°Yes¡ there¡¯s no doubt about it. I don¡¯t know why Earth abandoned his Magic Sword and chose this way of fighting, and I don¡¯t know how he was able to use the Great Demon King¡¯s technique, but¡ this power of Earth is real!¡±
That¡¯s right. Look closely, you guys.
This is me.
Not the son of a hero.
This is Earth Lagann.
The hero¡¯s son you sought is no more. So instead, burn this present me into your eyes!
¡°Fah~, ah, heavy hit¡ My Honey is no good nogoodnogood! You¡¯re too cool! I¡¯ve had enough¡ If you make me fall in love any more, my love for you will kill me!¡±
¡°Go, Earth, there! There it is! Ei, ei, eiii! Fight on!¡±
You guys need to calm down a bit¡ there¡¯s visible heart steaming out of Shinobu, and an excited Kron was jumping up and down in a punching motion imitating me¡ no¡.. I¡¯ll make them fall in love with me¡ even more?
And¡..
¡°Little man! Now is the time¡ now is the time to let them know! The power of Earth Lagann!¡±
Thest push reached me.
So, I¡¯m already¡
¡ºGo! Settle it here, child! Even if it means reaping his life¡ make sure you end it right here!¡»
I¡¯ll finish him here! Cut him down! Pierce him!
¡°It¡¯s over, Paripi!!¡±
After taking one more Magical Breath and restoring all my magic power again, I concentrated all that magic power in my right hand and raised it.
¡°That technique! He showed us at the end of the Graduation Match¡¡±
¡°The technique that led Earth to leave the Imperial City¡¡±
¡°And¡ we¡ couldn¡¯t stop Earth from running out¡ I¡¡±
¡°Come on, Little man¡ to your heart¡¯s content!¡±
¡°Aaaah no more¡ shukii¡ Honey~?¡±
¡°Go, Earth!¡±
I¡¯m going to use that technique in front of them again.
It is this technique that will decide the end, not the Magic Sword.
¡°gah, kaha¡ Hah~, hah~¡ Earth¡¡ kid.¡±
At that moment, Paripi, who set his jaw on his shoulder and forcibly pushed it, turned to me with his mouth that was finally able to move with a bitter smile¡
¡°Hey¡ Earth¡ is there someone else¡ inside you¡. by any chance?¡±
It was, in a sense, the closest words to the truth.
I see. Paripi is not as blind as Jamdi¡¯el.
From what has happened so far, he may have arrived at a hypothesis that would not normally be possible.
Yes, aside from Sadiz, who I told myself, this guy came closest to answering my mystery.
Well, the right answer isn¡¯t only inside me¡ now at my back¡ sometimes by my side¡ always ingrained in my very being.
And he¡¯s by my side.
We will continue to be together!
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth, Spiral Break¡¿!!!!¡±
I didn¡¯t confirm or deny it, I just mmed the Great Magic Spiral into Paripi.
It all pierced through like a windpipe.
The feel of my hand undoubtedly prated and ripped through Paripi¡¯s torso.
¡°Ea¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªeh !!??.¡±
The demon¡¯s final scream echoed through the air.
And there, after I¡¯ve exhausted all the magical power I had¡
¡°Ka¡ ah¡¡ gah¡¡±
I could already tell just by looking at him that he was incapable of fighting, and there he was, lying there.
¡°Ha~, ha~, ha~¡¡±
I recovered once more with Magical Breathing and exhausted it all at once.
A strong sense of emptiness and exhaustion washed over me, but¡
¡°He¡ he did¡¡ it?¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
¡°Amazing¡ truly¡¡±
¡°Honey¡ Honey!¡±
¡°Excellent¡ Little man!¡±
¡°Earth won!!¡±
I won? Did I¡.. beat a Six Supremacy?
Hearing the voices around me, I looked up involuntarily, and when I saw the reality in front of me, I clenched my fists.
That¡¯s right ¡ I¡..
¡°Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!
And before I knew it, I was screaming.
The one who has fallen was Paripi of the Six Supremacy.
I¡¯m the one left standing.
I¡¯m the one who won!
¡ºFufu¡ how admirable¡ no¡.. child.¡»
¡°Eh, ah¡¡±
But, for a moment when I screamed with excitement, Tre¡¯ainar looked at Paripi with a serious face.
¡ºHe can no longer move, yet¡ he still¡ lives¡¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t¡¡ know what those words mean.
In the first ce, I was prepared for that.
It just so happened that Paripi was alive now, because this guy had more vitality than expected.
But that feeling¡ again¡ for the purpose of taking lives¡ killing¡ people¡
¡ºPay it no mind. There is no need to take lightly the feeling that remains in that hand, but¡ if you do not do it here, you may regret it even more!¡»
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I almost held back slightly against ¡°this moment¡±, but Tre¡¯ainar pushed me back.
Yes, right now this guy, definitely right here¡
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡ Earth.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
Suddenly, I heard a woman¡¯s voice that sounded so faint and sad that it seemed to disappear¡
¡°The Forgiveness Song¡ ¡«? ¡«?¡±
¡°Ah¡ eh?¡±
I heard a gentle ¡¡ but haunting tone of a flute that touched my heart ¡ I wonder why?
When I hear this sound¡ I can¡¯t forgive him, but¡ I don¡¯t have to kill him¡
¡ºThis sound is¡ this flute¡ eh! Child, cover your ears! Do not be taken by this tone!¡»
¡°¡¡ What? Oh¡?¡±
If I take one more step, I can bury Paripi.
But now, in front of me, lying on his back, with a big hole in his torso, I see Paripi, whose upper and lower body are barely connected with a little flesh¡
¡°Hahi, ha, ga, hi, ha¡ Hiha¡¡±
Unlike humans, this vitality was unique to demons, and even in such a state, he was not dead yet.
But, it¡¯s easy to put the finisher on the guy who can¡¯t even move anymore.
But why?
¡°If we go this far¡ already¡¡ isn¡¯t that enough?¡±
¡ºChild!?¡»
No more¡¡ I feel like I don¡¯t have to go that far¡
¡°This, tone¡ this flute is¡ ah!¡±
¡°What!? That girl¡¡ what is she¡¡±
¡°C,e to think of it, I, I wondered where she was¡¡±
¡°That one¡¡±
¡°Huh? Why is she¡?¡±
¡°Oh? Hey what the heck¡¡±
I also looked back at the voice of the princess and the others.
And there was someone I didn¡¯t expect to see.
¡ºThe sound of the flute now¡ sound of Emotional Maniption Magic¡¡ not quiteplete brainwashing, but¡ enough for the child who has never killed before to stay his hands¡¡»
Why? No, I knew she came along with the princess¡¯ group, but no, where has she been all this time?
And whye out now?
Why would she¡
¡°Coman¡?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ Earth.¡±
It¡¯s Coman.
Coman was a ssmate.
She was brought here by the princess, so why¡ and¡.. why does she have such a sad face?
Why is she crying?
When we were kids, we yed and talked a few times, but once we entered the academy, we became estranged from each other and I rarely talked to her properly.
She was always odd, jumpy, and withdrawn¡
¡°Guh¡ how miserable¡¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡°Like this¡ uh¡ I can¡¯t believe that I get to talk to Earth face to face like this for the first time in a long time¡ in the academy, the princess was always by Earth¡¯s side, so¡¡±
¡°Coman¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ for getting you into this mess¡ really¡¡±
She¡¯s not the kind of person who would cause any problems, and she¡¯s a kind girl who wouldn¡¯t even kill an insect¡
¡°Really¡ that princess¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ so annoying, isn¡¯t she?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
For the first time, this girl gave me goosebumps.
Chapter 218: The Devil’s Proposal
Chapter 218 ¨C The Devil¡¯s Proposal
I beat the Six Supremacy.
I could say so.
However, when I defeated Jamdi¡¯el, the Seraphs appeared, and this time, of all people, a ssmate?
Moreover, what did she just say?
It wasn¡¯t just me.
The princess¡¯ group were also bbergasted.
¡°But it¡¯s amazing¡ that Earth, who should have been inferior to Rebal and the princess, was victorious against a Six Supremacy¡¡±
Coman wiped her tears away and smiled sadly.
I¡¯m being praised, I¡¯m feeling pretty giddy right now¡
¡°Gah¡ kaha¡ Co¡.. man¡ Coman?¡±
Then, lying on his back, a part of his body gone, and his head connected to his torso with only a small piece of flesh, Paripi opened his eyes in a hoarse voice.
Is he still alive?
I mean, now¡
¡°Can you move?¡±
¡°¡¡ no¡ nope¡¡±
¡°Is that so¡ never¡ I didn¡¯t think you would lose¡¡±
¡°¡¡ lose¡¡ huh¡?¡±
Hold on¡
¡°Hey, Coman!?¡±
¡°What is the meaning of this, Coman? Why are you with a Six Supremacy!?¡±
¡°What¡¡±
¡°Coman!?¡±
At that moment, I, the princess, Rebal, and Fu all raised our voices in astonishment at the same time.
Why was Coman with Paripi¡
¡°Why? I have a connection with this man¡ is that strange? Is it surprising that I was such a girl? Do you people¡¡ know me well enough ¡ to find this surprising?¡±
Then, in response to our astonishment, Coman, who should have been smiling, replied in a sullen manner.
¡°So¡ no one knew the real me¡ after all¡¡ no one could see me until the end¡¡±
¡°Coman¡ you¡¡±
¡°And now¡ when the opportune moment is around here ¡ now ¡ it¡¯s time to end it¡¡±
Words from Coman, who should have always been timid, condemning us.
And finally, Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me¡
¡ºThis little girl¡ apparently she was a spy.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡º¡¡ This one¡ she is human, but she has been cated by Paripi¡ well, I had my concerns, yet I was unaware of Paripi¡¯s vast espionagework¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar dered so about Coman.
¡°¡¡ Coman¡ you¡¡ were you a spy?!¡±
¡°Is it true, Coman!? Why?! Ever since we were little¡ weren¡¯t we friends? You¡¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be¡ you¡¡ wait, so your parents!? The Piper family were¡¡±
¡°Hey, Coman!? What do you mean? Exin it properly!¡±
At my words, the princess and the others were also stunned and raised their voices.
But Coman smiled sadly at us again¡
¡°In the first ce, my house was this man¡¯s followers before I was born¡¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°And, spies, in short, are traitors, aren¡¯t they? I¡ was never among Earth¡¯s circle of friends, was I? Did you think of me as a friend? Besides¡¡ even the princess andpany couldn¡¯t see Earth or understand anything about him¡ and im to be friends¡ how would I fit? For this journey to track Earth down, you simply brought me along because my abilities were useful, right? That¡¯s why I¡¯m so pissed off.¡±
¡°Coman¡¡±
¡°But I¡¯m the same. I¡¯ve been watching Earth for over a decade and I didn¡¯t understand anything about him¡ that he had gained enough strength to beat this man¡ really¡¡ how useless¡ I am.¡±
She doesn¡¯t answer our questions clearly. But we couldn¡¯t say anything back to Coman¡¯s words.
Then, in response to Coman¡¯s words, Paripi, who was lying on the verge of death, opened his mouth.
¡°I lost¡ oh I see¡ I was beat¡ on the contrary¡ if you hadn¡¯t been there¡ I would really be a goner this time¡¡±
¡°Yes¡ you lost to Earth.¡±
¡°I see¡ I see¡ yah~¡¡ I say¡¡ I got beat Panay¡¡±
A smile on his lips¡ but the smile on Paripi¡¯s face was always a devilishly cruel smile, so what¡¯s different?
Is Paripi calm now, as if somewhat refreshed?
¡º¡¡ Paripi¡?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also had a somewhat surprised reaction to Paripi¡¯s state.
¡°Earth¡ this match¡ you win. I lost to you¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°You were strong¡ so strong Panay¡ well¡¡ I¡¯m not sure if it was one on one, but¡ I don¡¯t feel like using that as an excuse.¡±
Then, in such a situation, I couldn¡¯t help but clench my fists as I felt my heart burn with excitement at the words he just said.
¡°You found a path that suits you ¡ still, if there¡¯s something that¡¯s still missing¡ then make up for it¡ y around with an idea¡ and the courage to do it¡¡ you¡¯ve done it brilliantly¡ Hihaha¡ splendid¡¡ is all¡¡ I can say¡¡±
I shouldn¡¯t believe a single word of this bbermouth, but for once ¡¡ I can¡¯t help but think that he¡¯s not all bad¡
From one of the Six Supremacy to me¡
¡ºIs the ferocity disappearing from Paripi, that mass of malice? ¡ This man¡ really¡¡ have you sumbed to the child¡¡ to that extent? Hmm¡ this is¡¡ tis the first time I have seen it. I am witnessing something unusual.¡»
For even Tre¡¯ainar to say that, Paripi¡¯s words right now may be true.
Just thinking so¡ damn it¡¡ why am I so happy, I¡
And now¡
¡°Hmm¡ such a terrible ce to hear apliment¡ at this point, you¡ are a guy I think needs to get finished off¡ Coman¡ and are you still going to protect him?¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
Right, what shall we do from here on?
¡°Get out of the way, Coman!¡±
¡ºCertainly, letting him leave this ce alive would be a folly. Tis best to put an end to him here.¡»
I went into the breakthrough state and warned Coman.
Then Coman stared at me, and the next moment she put the flute he was holding onto her mouth¡
¡°Sound Magic, Mega Dissonance!¡±
¡ºTis a dissonance shockwave! Crush it head-on!¡»
¡°Great Demon Sonic Jab!¡±
Even though she suddenly unleashed a sonic shockwave, I crushed it outright¡
¡°kuh¡ Sound Magic, Shadow¨C¡°
¡°Toote! Great Demon Jab!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Coman tried to unleash a homing spell, but this time I aimed a jab at the flute before it could be activated.
¡°Ah ¡ so ¡ fast¡¡ amazing¡¡±
¡°Now, you can¡¯t use the flute anymore, can you? Besides, now I can hit the flute with a jab before you blow on it.¡±
¡°Huh ¡ yes ¡ that¡¯s ¡ yeah ¡ I can¡¯t¡ amazing¡¡ really¡¡±
Paripi is too dangerous.
He was saying something refreshing right now, but I don¡¯t know what he¡¯ll do when his body gets back to normal.
We can¡¯t afford to leave him like this.
I was surprised and shocked to learn that Coman and her parents were Paripi¡¯s spies.
But¡¡
¡°Stand down, Coman. You¡¯re right, I didn¡¯t see you at all¡ I didn¡¯t understand¡ but¡¡ even so¡¡ you¡¯re not so indifferent that I would just beat you up by force¡¡±
¡°Earth¡ huh?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t think anything of it¡ but¡¡ I can¡¯t just overlook this guy!¡±
I was shocked, but that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t move, so I let it go. I can¡¯t afford to do that.
¡°I saw the memory of the Heavenly King. That bald guy is also extreme in many ways, but¡ he was the mastermind! As a result, it¡¯s even possible that humans will go to war with the Seraphs! Don¡¯t you understand? If I made one wrong move, he would have killed us all!¡±
¡°¡¡ Fufu¡ Earth¡ you sound like a hero.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t make fun of me! I¡¯ll say it again! Get out of my way!¡±
So I appealed to Coman with the intention of ¡°ending¡± this now.
On the other hand, Coman¡
¡°This is how¡ Earth¡ is seriously talking¡ with such a dirty, ugly girl like me¡ even though the real me is terrible¡ and I hate everyone¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°How¡¡ did I end up¡¡ in this mess? Even though I¡ no¡.. the world is¡ but¡¡ Huh!? Ugh!¡±
¡°Coman?¡±
She smiled sadly again, but suddenly crouched down, holding her head.
What¡¯s wrong? When I thought about it and tried to look into her face, suddenly¡
¡°That¡¯s right¡ Earth¡ is watching my every move¡ if I fight¡ will he watch me more? Will he hit me? Will he force me to surrender¡¡±
¡°Huh? Ah~¡¡ Hey?¡±
¡°Aha¡ then¡ I wonder if I should have done this sooner? Being inconspicuous¡ minding that woman¡ because it¡¯s more troublesome to catch the attention of royalty¡ left me constantly pissed off ¡ ah¡¡ can I show myself now¡ I wonder if it¡¯s okay? I¡ I wonder if they would see me? Hey, how¡ I wonder?¡±
Oh¡ sort of like¡ this girl, she¡¯s in a different direction from Jamdi¡¯el and Shinobu, but somehow simr¡ yeah¡¡ in a way¡ creeps me out¡ was this the kind of girl she was? No, is this her true nature? It¡¯s like she¡¯s suddenly a different person¡
¡°Hihahaha¡ stop stop, Coman dear. Don¡¯t do it. Don¡¯t show¡. ¡®That face¡¯.¡±
¡°Oh¡ eh¡¡ I¡¡±
Surprisingly, it was Paripi who stopped Coman who was about to go out of control.
At the sound of Paripi¡¯s voice, Coman, who had a face agitated with excitement, suddenly stopped.
¡°Your magic isn¡¯t for a one-on-one fight¡ you¡¯re no match for Earth in his current state of sensitivity panay¡¡±
¡°¡¡ but¡¡ if this continues¡¡±
¡°I know ¡ both of them ¡ no ¡ you and your parents are done for¡ Earth won¡¯t let it go¡ and there¡¯s no benefit to him¡ even if he lets me live now. I don¡¯t suppose you trust me in any way.¡±
Saying that, Paripi turns to me with a small smile on his lips.
Are you looking at me?
You don¡¯t even have to ask.
¡°That¡¯s a given, dying bastard!¡±
Trust? Absolutely not.
I¡¯m not going to let it pass.
¡°And¡ goho¡ if¡¡ if the ¡®someone¡¯ in you is the ¡®one¡¯ I know¡ he would say ¡®Kill me without mercy¡¯¡¡ I guess.¡±
¡°Nu¡¡±
¡°Hmm¡ I was right.¡±
Too close¡ this guy, it seemed he has almost reached my secret by now.
Well, I¡¯m not going to tell him.
¡°So, stop, Coman. It can¡¯t be helped.¡±
¡°¡¡ Then¡¡ what are you going to do?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, I¡¯ve already¡ decided¡¡±
Decided? What? Did he resolve himself? Did he give up by any chance? No, he¡¯s not like that¡
¡°The benefits of keeping me alive¡ is that I could start earning your trust¡ little by little from now on.¡±
¡°Come again?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºHuh?¡»
And he wasn¡¯t making any sense at all.
Coman and I, and even Tre¡¯ainar, tilted our heads.
Hey I don¡¯t get it.
What the heck was Paripi¡
¡°Mr. Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Oh, uh?¡±
Then, Paripi suddenly became serious¡ I mean, could he even say anything with a serious tone?
But that was a trivial matter, and the next words that came out of Paripi¡¯s mouth were¡
¡°I¡¯ll¡ be your subordinate¡ okay.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡º¡¡ Ha?¡»
¡°¡±¡±¡®Hah!!??.''¡±¡±¡±
¡°Rather than inciting the idiot Seraphs or dealing drugs¡ watching to see where you go¡ looks like it¡¯s going to be more fun Panay.¡±
Auditory hallucination? I misheard? Tre¡¯ainar?
¡ºUh, e¡ eh?¡»
Oh¡ Tre¡¯ainar froze with a strange expression on his face and his mouth wide open!?
Then¡ he must have also misheard that just now, right?
¡°Now, as I am¡ for the time being¡ I can¡¯t apany you¡ until I heal¡ but¡ I¡.. I will absolutely¡ be useful Panay!!¡±
¡°E¡ even if it kills me, I won¡¯t ept!!¡±
Anyway¡¡ I was so surprised that I couldn¡¯t think straight either, but I managed to squeeze that much out.
No, not at all, that¡¯s my impression after all?!
Look at this devastation! Everyone, we¡¯ve all been beaten and in tatters!?
Even the bald guy was gutted, and the prince, already out of the loop, was poking his head closer!
And, sure enough¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Everyone was utterly speechless.

Chapter 219 ¨C Head
The battle was over.
¡°Wh¡.. wh, what¡¯s this¡ this is Coman¡ and to top it all off, even the Six Supremacy.¡±
But, as if her heart had beenpletely broken, the princess sat back on the spot.
¡°Earth, who until recently should have been next to us all these days¡ we were separated for a few months, but¡ we finally caught up today¡ what in the world this¡¡ don¡¯t you think so? Rebal¡ Fu¡¡±
¡°Phianse¡¡±
¡°Princess¡¡±
¡°Before my very eyes, I was shown the distance between Earth and us¡ at the end of the day¡ the Six Supremacy, who we couldn¡¯t even stand against with all of us together¡ admitted defeat to be his subordinate? Is this¡¡ a dream? ¡¡ the¡¡ the dimensions are too different¡ Earth¡ is right in front of me yet¡ endlessly far away¡¡±
It seemed she had a lot of thoughts about me in this battle, but Princess¡ I¡¯m surprised about this, too¡
Who will be whose subordinate? No, no, no, what the hell is this guy nning, to stab me in the back?
¡ºThis man, whose every breath exhales jest and never shows his true feelings¡ is getting more heated with every word¡ I never¡ is he serious?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also upset. That¡¯s my impression. That¡¯s how serious this man¡¯s words were.
¡°Goh¡ ugh¡ Coman dear¡ the magic crystal?¡±
¡°For now, mine¡ is here¡¡±
¡°Your parents¡ where¡¯s Koaso?¡±
¡°The timing was right and we may be exposed, so I told them to leave the Imperial City.¡±
¡°Hihahaha, gohogo¡ okay. Then, give the magic crystal to Earth.¡±
¡°Hah¡ ah, Earth¡ here¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t get my head around the situation that made Coman seem to fade away despite everything, and I couldn¡¯t do anything to the point that Coman, who was supposed to be my enemy, walked right up to me, and just handed me a magic crystal she had taken out of the pocket of her clothes and I epted it.
If she had attacked me with a knife or magic, I would have been in danger.
¡°Earth! I¡¯m going to hide for a while to heal myself up, but¡ if you have any problems in the meantime, you can always use that to contact me. I¡¯ll provide you all the information I have on the world, of the light or the shadows. If you are in need of funds for your forces, I am at your disposal. If you are short of women, I can help with that, regardless of race, age, or status. If you want, you can have Coma¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Hey, don¡¯t offer me this stuff out of the blue!¡±
A palm-sized round crystal handed over.
Seemed it belonged to Coman, but once I received it, Paripi started talking about it to me, regardless of my intention.
Or rather, Paripi¡ you were supposed to be dying, but aren¡¯t you as energetic as ever?
¡°Wait! Well, I still didn¡¯t say I¡¯d make you my subordinate! I don¡¯t need this magic crystal! Hold on, Coman! What are you bastards thinking?!¡±
¡°Earth¡ ah¡ we¡¯re in the middle of a conversation, okay? You should probably listen ¡¡ all the way to the end. ¡¡ yeah, I think I had some good suggestions¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care! I mean, hearing you out seems more dangerous!¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡±
Not that. I won¡¯t listen to anything like that.
I can¡¯t get swept away¡ anyway, I have to do something about this situation¡
¡°Besides, you are one dangerous bastard without a doubt!¡±
¡°I told you. I¡¯m more useful to you alive¡¡±
¡°No need! I don¡¯t want anything from you!¡±
From the beginning, Tre¡¯ainar said, ¡°Don¡¯t believe any of this man¡¯s words¡±, so I rejected Paripi¡¯s proposal without any negotiations or nonsense.
¡ºCertainly, I was surprised by this man¡¯s proposal, but tis fine, child. As the child is now, this man¡¯s presence can only be poisonous.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar, too, was aghast at Paripi, but crossed his arms and nodded in agreement with my response.
But that was then.
¡°Hiha¡ ha ha¡¡ well then¡¡ Earth¡ to the other person in your life¡ your ally¡ I offer a gift¡ then¡¡ what do you say?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡ºNuh?¡»
Paripi has a suspicious smile on his face. The face was obviously thinking of some evil scheme.
And the words are not directed at me, but at Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡°The key that leads to the deepest part¡ of the ruins deep underneath the former City of Sorcery ¡ Shiznautmy¡ I guess you could call it¡the ¡®Master Key¡¯¡?¡±
¡ºEehh!!??¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me, was astonished with a stern expression, sterner than when Paripi dered himself my subordinate.
What is it?
¡ºParipi¡ this¡¡ this man¡ what was that? The deepest part of the ruins? The master key? ¡ exists ¡? I never imagined there was one¡ but where¡¡ no, in the first ce how did Paripi¡¡»
The City of Sorcery? Shiznautmy was certainly Sadiz¡¯s¡ and¡.. Master Key?
¡°I don¡¯t have it on me right now, but¡ if you let me go¡ I¡¯ll arrange to have it sent back to Earth¡ and we¡¯ll call it a day¡ can¡¯t we?¡±
¡º¡¡ this puny¡¡»
I don¡¯t know what they¡¯re talking about.
However, from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s reaction, I can tell that it is very important.
But¡¡
¡°Hiha¡ well, that¡¯s the way it is. Okay, Coman. So, can you carry me?¡±
¡°Hah, m¡ me?¡±
Paripi¡¯s instructions flew to Coman. By ¡°carry¡± he meant to take Paripi in this state and run away with him.
¡ºNu!? Child, the little girl is moving! Do not allow their escape yet!¡»
¡°Hey, hey, Coman, don¡¯t do anything foolish!¡±
Since we haven¡¯t reached a conclusion yet, we can¡¯t afford to let them go.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡ Uu~nh¡ that¡ carrying you¡ I¡.. I¡¯m not that strong¡ and Earth, is staring at me¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡±
Despite receiving Paripi¡¯s orders, Coman had a slightly troubled expression on her face.
¡°Hmm¡ then¡ your whole body is heavy¡ so I¡¯ll only carry¡ your head.¡±
¡°Hah? ¡¡ eh!?¡±
¡°Okay, let¡¯s tear it off. Heave-ho.¡±
Saying that, Coman let out a sigh and grabbed Paripi¡¯s head¡ HEY!?
¡°Here~, we~, go~, heave-ho.¡±
¡°Wai hold on! Coma, h, heeey!? Gugyuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!¡±
¡°Hiu! Oh, please don¡¯t scream so loud¡ it¡¯s scary¡ yes, the flesh is tough too¡¡±
The demon¡¯s cry of pain reverberated.
No, obviously.
¡°Wha, C, Coman!? What are you doing?!¡±
¡°Ridiculous¡¡±
¡°Hii!?¡±
¡°This is¡¡±
¡°Oh¡ Ahhhhhh
We were too stunned and gasped at the sight that was happening in front of us.
Kron¡¯s face almost turned blue at the sight.
No, she would rather be spared, something like this!
¡°Heave¡ ugh, tearing this off is difficult¡ uh~n.¡±
¡°Hogyaaaaah! Just, w, wait, t, that I¡¯m gonna die, Imgonnadie!¡±
¡°But¡ I can¡¯t carry you with my physique and strength, so¡ I thought I¡¯d just take you from the neck up¡ that can work, right?¡±
¡°Maybe if only my brain was safe! But I¡¯ve never done that before¡ wai, yo, you¡¯re kidding me, wait a minute! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!¡±
Paripi, who took my Great Magic Spiral head-on, was in a state where his torso, neck, and limbs were barely connected by flesh¡
Grabbing Paripi¡¯s head with both hands, Coman was trying to rip him apart.
Not only the cries of the demon, but blood also sttered around like a fountain.
Nerves and flesh were torn apart, and the sight is so grotesque that it makes me want to vomit.
¡°Oh no¡ my skirt got dirty¡ ugh¡ I just bought this¡ guh¡¡±
She looked like a feeble girl crying because she¡¯s covered in mud and soiled her freshly-made clothes, but in reality, it was the scene of a feeble girl bathed in blood while trying to rip someone¡¯s head off.
And that sadness was not about the deed she was doing, but about the fact that her clothes were getting ruined.
¡°Yes, there¡ I got it.¡±
¡°Ga ¡ gah¡ ¡°
Dangerous.
I was terrified of Paripi who joyfully kicked people around and beat us up, but this also scared me.
¡°Now¡ hey, Earth¡¡±
¡°Coman¡ you¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t stare so hard at me¡ if this person can be Earth¡¯s subordinate, then I¡¯m already your property¡ right? So¡.. just let me go this once¡¡±
Coman¡¯s face was filled with a sense of aplishment, as if she had pulled out a turnip that couldn¡¯t be pulled out¡ she grabbed Paripi¡¯s severed head with both hands, but her hands were stained with blood, and at her feet was a puddle of blood still flowing from the head.
¡°Earth¡ please!¡±
Her eyes watered and she pleaded with me with a maiden expression¡ looking at just her face you would think she was ¡°cute¡±, but now I felt nothing but fear.
But, my legs were cowering now.
The woman in front of me should be weaker than me if we fought¡
¡°Ah¡ this¡¡ hurts and it¡¯s not even on the level of pain~¡¡ Coman¡ even though I will be restored to normal¡ I wonder how long it will take¡ joining up with Earth¡ it¡¯s going to take quite a long time¡¡±
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry¡ I¡.. I¡¯ve never done anything like this before¡ I might have messed it up¡¡±
¡°Next time¡ I have to scold that Koaso¡ what¡¯s with his daughter¡¡±
Not good¡ this woman¡ and these guys¡ are dangerous¡¡.
Paripi, who was only a severed head, was talking, but I couldn¡¯t get my head around it at all. I mean, he¡¯s still alive in that state¡
¡°Coman¡ y, you¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Princess.¡±
¡°Are you ¡ really¡¡ Coman?¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
And it¡¯s no wonder the princess, who had been speechless so far, asked the question with a shudder.
¡°What? Are you still asking me that? I¡¯m going to get angry, you know?¡±
¡°Wha¡ ah¡¡±
¡°But this is thest time¡ I won¡¯t do anything to you, because this is goodbye. Now that my role is done and I have taken up another, I¡¯m not interested in you anymore¡¡±
Honestly, the Coman up until now has been an imposter, to the point where it can¡¯t be epted if told that this was her genuine self.
And while we were at a loss for words at Coman¡
¡°Goodbye Princess, Fu, Rebal, and¡ I¡¯ll see youter, Earth.¡±
¡°Coman!?¡±
¡°¡¾Subsonic Song¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Words of farewell to the princess¡¯ group.
Words that implied a future reunion with me.
With that said, Coman sprang from the ce at high speed with Paripi¡¯s head in her arms.
I didn¡¯t expect Coman to be that fast, and I waspletely slow to react.
But, we were in the sky. There was no escape.
No, this is Paripi, so he must have some way to get back to the Surface.
If they could escape to the Surface like this, I wouldn¡¯t really be able to catch them anymore.
And yet, we remained standing there for a while.

Chapter 220: Intermission (Father) â‘¢
Chapter 220 ¨C Intermission (Father) ¢Û
The crumbling town was in the midst of reconstruction work.
The residents of the country worked together to remove rubble and build temporary houses while taking care of the wounded.
When I set foot in such a town, I sat down beside a copsed building that was originally a church and listened to the story.
It was about Earth and Sadiz.
¡°Heh~, you were training with Earth~¡±
The two hade to Cacretale.
No, to be precise, they were brought here. By ¡®her¡¯ hands.
They couldn¡¯t escape because of the barrier, they had been held captive by ¡®her¡¯ the whole time¡ was what I thought at first, but from what I¡¯m hearing, that didn¡¯t seem to be the case.
Earth and Sadiz were ¡°brought here¡±, but not ¡°held captive¡±.
They lived with the people of this country and then¡¡ a lot of things¡ seriously, all sorts¡
¡°Yes, he lit a fire in our hearts¡ inspired us when we were hanging our heads in the midst of this unfortunate reality.¡±
What was Earth doing in this country? How did he spend his time? What did the people of this country think of him?
That¡¯s what I learned from the Mortriage crew, who im to be friends of Earth.
¡°Yeah, he¡¯s a really great guy!¡±
¡°When we saw that Earth was working so hard, we thought we should do our best too.¡±
¡°Uh huh¡ when he won the tournament, we were so happy, as if we were the winners¡¡±
These young men spoke proudly, as if they were bragging about their friends with straight, beaming eyes.
In addition¡¡
¡°Un, Amae¡¯s Older brother, so cool!¡±
¡°I see¡ you like Earth¡ you¡¯re fond of your Older brother.¡±
¡°Un?!¡±
Even the cute little girl named Amae was puffing out her chest with pride.
As a parent, I¡¯m proud that it¡¯s all actually about Earth, but at the same time, I¡¯m also frustrated at my own stupidity for not being there.
After leaving the Imperial City, out of our reach, he lived resiliently and strong, and in this way he has built new connections with his own power.
I wondered what would happen when I heard that Jamdi¡¯el had taken Earth away, but things weren¡¯t particrly bad here, but rather he worked hard with his friends and seemed to be adored by many people.
I didn¡¯t think he would even have a little sister before I knew it.
I thought he was still just an immature kid that I, Mamu, and Sadiz had to watch over.
But in reality, neither Mamu nor I had been paying attention to him at all.
So we didn¡¯t notice anything important, we didn¡¯t know him, we didn¡¯t understand him.
¡°Damn¡ what was I really doing¡ I¡.. and what¡¯s going on with him right now? Hey? God.¡±
On the grounds of the church, where Earth had been staying for a while, I heard about what had happened to me from Earth¡¯s friends, and with mixed feelings, I chuckled and muttered to the only statue in the church that remained intact, of the one they called ¡°God¡±.
It¡¯s a little ¡°heaped up¡± there, but its face is definitely that of our former nemesis.
¡°Earth used your power and made a fuss about it¡ thanks to that, Earth got disappointed in us, rebelled against us, and then arrived at this ce¡ haha¡ just what¡¯s going on?¡±
Cacretale was not a member state of the Union, but a closed-door country with little informationing out.
However, during the war, there was no doubt to the suspicions that it was connected to the Demon King¡¯s army, so they were kept under surveince, but in the end, nothing rted to Cacretale appeared on the stage even in the war. The war ended, and it was as if nothing had happened.
¡°What the hell is going on¡ the country was presided over by the High Priestess, who overthrew the regime more than a decade ago¡ her name is Jamdi¡¯el¡ and¡.. the symbol of this was a goddess named Kron ¡ a goddess of divine blood, and she¡¯ll be the wife of Earth, the winner of a recent tournament¡¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Earth¡¯s dad?¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah, nothing¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar. What the hell did your Demon Army do to Earth?
Jamdi¡¯el. If you haven¡¯te out in the open in over a decade, what do you want to do with Earth now?
I don¡¯t know how Earth was able to use Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s skills. The suspicion that Earth may have ties to the remnants of the Demon Army has not yet been cleared in the Imperial City.
But then this would be¡
¡°So, they are now above the clouds in the sky?¡±
¡°Yes, along with everyone to rescue the abducted High Priestess.¡±
And now they¡¯re raiding the Heavenly World¡ I mean, the Heavenly World really existed.
Well, I guess Jamdi¡¯el was that kind of race.
But still, to rescue Jamdi¡¯el by joining forces with human friends¡ or¡ no good. Damn, I can¡¯t get my head straight.
And above all¡¡
¡°Those people in the sky are cowardly¡ they attacked when the High Priestess was in tatters after she lost a fight with Earth¡ damn, I¡¯m pissed off just thinking about it. Oraaa!!
¡°Earth was also exhausted, and there was nothing he could do about it¡¡±
¡°But this time, Earth is in perfect condition, as well as Mr. Machio, the Goddess, Ms. Sadiz and the others. I¡¯m sure they¡¯ll save the High Priestess!¡±
Yes, that¡¯s what I thought the most, ¡°Seriously?¡±.
That Earth got into a fight with Jamdi¡¯el and won¡ really?
Even if it has been more than ten years since the previous war, I know the strength of the Six Supremacy best of all.
We fought many times, was devastated, and lost manyrades.
Hakuki nearly killed me on many asions.
Gouda was just so big in every way.
La¡¯iphant had pride despite being an enemy.
Jamdi¡¯el was terrifying and scary.
I don¡¯t want to make Norja an enemy again.
I don¡¯t even want to remember Paripi.
Although there are differences in power and fighting styles, all six of them were still strong and dangerous.
As far as we could tell from the Graduation Match, Earth was much stronger than Mamu and I could have imagined.
But, with the strength he had three months ago, he was still not strong enough to fight against the Six Supremacy.
And yet, he won? Even if he yed some tricks, the Six Supremacy were not so naive that he could manage with just such measures.
In other words, Earth was currently strong enough to fight against the Six Supremacy.
¡°Earth¡ what happened to you¡¡±
I can¡¯t believe just how much I don¡¯t understand about my beloved son¡ how many times have I called myself unworthy as a father¡
¡°Un¡ what¡¯s wrong?¡±
As I pounded on my head like that, Earth¡¯s little sister peeked in on me.
I was so worried, even this kid saw it on my face.
¡°Oh, uncle¡ is worried about your Older brother¡ I¡¯m anxious¡ what they¡¯re doing up in the sky¡¡±
¡°Older brother? Don¡¯t worry about Older brother!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
In any case, even if it was true that they were now in the Heavenly World, honestly, neither I nor Mamu could use flight magic, so at this point in time, there was no way to go there.
So, even if I knew where they were, we couldn¡¯t rush to their aid right away, and I wondered what to do, but the girl named Amae, was excited¡
¡°Older brother, he¡¯s strong! Uncle is with them! There¡¯s Big Sis too! Everyone ising back! Older brother, we¡¯ll y a lot when hees back! He promised! Amae cheered him on a lot, so we would y a lot as a reward!¡±
She¡¯s so confident¡ no, I was stunned by the words of the innocent child who believed so much in him.
Oh. I see¡
¡°Haha, well¡ then I guess you¡¯re right.¡±
¡°Un?!¡±
Yes¡¡ I see¡ I don¡¯t know or understand ¡°the Current Earth¡± better than this kid¡
¡°Older brother, because Amae cheers him on, he won the championship, so it¡¯s okay! This, is proof!¡±
¡°Hmm? ¡¡ nuoh, th that is!¡±
¡°Older brother won this!¡±
Saying that, Amae toddled off and pulled something out of the rubble and pointed it at me with a giggle.
And I was shocked again when I saw it.
¡°Th, this is¡ th, the championship trophy or¡ Haha, you know right away who designed it, but¡ this is what Earth received as the championship trophy¡ I¡¡±
If no one else had been here, I might have been sprawled out when I saw the trophy my son had won.
What a hateful thing.
A golden statue in the image of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar, with wings growing from his back, his left hand on his hip, his right leg resting on a square tform, his right index finger pointing toward the heavens, and a crown on his head¡
¡°Hahaha ¡ haha¡¡±
I¡¯m alreadyughing in dismay.
Hey? Tre¡¯ainar. Are you watching this in hell?
If this is your revenge on me, there¡¯s no better one.
¡°Hiro~, I¡¯ve managed to calm things down here.¡±
¡°Oh? Right?¡±
¡°Yes¡ What¡¯s that gaudy! ¡¡ T, Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡°Haha¡ it¡¯s like our dear son¡¯s trophy, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Ha¡ Huh?¡±
At that moment, Mamu ran up to me as I was smiling at the Tre¡¯ainar trophy.
Sure enough, Mamu seemed surprised by the Tre¡¯ainar trophy as well.
¡°So, how was he? That young man, Jos¨¦?¡±
¡°Eh? Oh, yes. He has quite severely damaged the magic holes, nerves, and muscles all over his body. The side effects of the drugs have almost crippled him.¡±
¡°I see¡ then?¡±
¡°Yeah. I did some treatment on my part, and then I extracted the drug that was still in his body. But¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s difficult to curepletely¡ is it?¡±
¡°Maybe. From now on, with proper rest, he¡¯ll be able to recover enough to go about his daily life, but¡ I don¡¯t think he can be a mage or a warrior anymore¡¡±
When we set foot in this country, and were feeling distressed at the sight of the devastation and the memories of the war, we found a young man being nursed by a group of girls.
The young man, who would be almost the same age as Earth, was in a rather dangerous condition.
¡°And that, too¡ I guess it¡¯s Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s doing¡ damn her¡¡±
Not only about Earth, the Mortriage crew also told me about the current Jamdi¡¯el.
It seemed that the people of this country are so endeared to her that they want to risk their lives to help.
But on the other hand, behind the scenes, he was still a young man of the same age as Earth¡ in that case, I really can¡¯t forgive her¡
¡°Yes, and¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°The drug¡ I won¡¯t know without analyzing it in detail, but¡ it looked a bit like what the worst demon of the Six Supremacy once tried to spread¡¡±
¡°Paripi¡ well, let¡¯s not talk about that guy¡ he¡¯s already dead.¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s right. I get goosebumps just hearing the name. Anyway, that¡¯s the worst kind of drug.¡±
I understand Mamu¡¯s disgusted look just by remembering it.
And Jamdi¡¯el had such a drug¡
¡°¡¡ Earth¡ they said he went to help Jamdi¡¯el with the people of this country. He wasn¡¯t brainwashed or threatened, it was at his own volition.¡±
¡°Yes, and with Sadiz. I¡¯m sure there must be a reason¡¡±
¡°Yeah¡ but¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was a dangerous person and currently one of the world¡¯s highest bounty heads.
As soon as she is found, she is to be secured immediately. Dead or Alive.
No mercy is necessary. In fact, she was about to turn a young man with a future into a cripple.
No matter what the circumstances were, there was no way we could forgive her.
But neither Mamu nor I had an easy answer to what to do.
Because the more we listened, the more we realized that we don¡¯t know anything.
We didn¡¯t know anything about him, that¡¯s why Earth was disappointed in us.
Chapter 221: After the Battle
Chapter 221 ¨C After the Battle
¡°They¡¯re gone¡¡±
¡ºYou let them flee¡¡»
Paripi and Coman got away, and I was still stunned, unable to sort my mind out for a while.
If they had simply run away, it would still be fine. I would have been able to quickly switch gears and chase after them.
But Paripi¡¯s deration to be my subordinate and Coman¡¯s abnormal behavior didn¡¯t let me do it.
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ erm¡¡ are you okay?¡±
¡°Looks like they really got away¡ Honey, how are you doing?¡±
On either side of me, two women peeked anxiously at me.
¡°Earth¡ Gyuu¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ Kron¡¡±
¡°Full of scratches¡ but¡¡ this hand saved us. Thank you, Earth.¡±
And Kron smiled as she gently squeezed my hand, maybe she¡¯s trying to heal me.
I¡¯m a little nervous.
¡°Hey!? Honey¡ I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±
¡°Oh, hey¡¡±
Shinobu stuck to me with medical tools, as if not to lose to Kron like that.
It¡¯s kind of embarrassing¡ but¡¡ I think I¡¯ve calmed down a bit¡
¡°Nu, u, ugh ¡ tsu ¡ urgh¡¡±
On the other hand, the princess was groaning with sadness and frustration¡ I guess¡ she might still be shocked about Coman.
Oh yes¡ this is not the time to do this.
¡°Kron¡ Shinobu¡ y, yes¡ I¡¯m fine, but¡ ah, yes¡ we gotta patch everyone up¡ can you do that for me?¡±
¡°Yes, of course.¡±
¡°Leave it to me, Honey.¡±
I was stunned to see the two of them, and finally turned around and looked at my surroundings.
Everyone who had been wounded in the battle against Paripi was still lying down.
Even those who had been hit with a single blow by Paripi, but Mr. Machio and the others had been beaten up pretty severely.
At my suggestion, both Kron and Shinobu nodded and immediately ran off to join everyone.
On the other hand¡
¡°¡¡ h, hey¡ Earth¡¡±
The princess and the others were in an awkward mood.
Well, isn¡¯t that reasonable?
They have gone through a lot.
They came to the Heavenly World and helped out without understanding the situation, but they were defeated by Paripi, and betrayed by our old friend Coman, who then escaped.
And me and these guys are still apart¡
¡°For now¡ this is good enough for now, right?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Until now, we had been fighting together without giving too much about the details.
So they still don¡¯t know anything about what I did in the Graduation Match, and why I¡¯m still in the Heavenly World, about Jamdi¡¯el, about Kron, and about Cacretale.
In this situation, the problem of Paripi and Coman also came up.
¡°Princess¡ there are a lot of injured people, and Little man is right¡¡±
¡°Sadiz¡ tsu¡¡ yes ¡ that¡¯s right.¡±
Sensing my thoughts and the awkward atmosphere, Sadiz tells the princess, ¡°Soon¡±.
The princess wasn¡¯t convinced of everything, but she couldn¡¯t help but nod with a conflicted expression on her face as everyone in front of her was lying covered in wounds.
¡°I can use my healing magic to a certain extent, I¡¯ll help you. Please assist us, Fu. Rebal, carry the fallen ones.¡±
¡°Yes, Princess.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
At least now I could put off talking for a little bit.
In fact, I don¡¯t know what to talk about or what to do about Paripi and Coman, and I don¡¯t have it all together.
¡°Mr. Machio, are you alright, it looked like he got your eyes or something, but¡¡±
¡°Yeah¡ it takes time for the eye to heal, but¡ well, it¡¯s not life-threatening.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll help carry everyone¡ but still¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°That was too strong a foe ¡ the world is¡ wide¡¡±
¡°¡¡ it is.¡±
Even Mr. Machio, who fought me tooth and nail in the tournament, could barely get up.
Even Sadiz was still dragging her heavy body.
I¡¯m not sure what to expect from the rest of the team.
In fact, I was a little surprised at myself for being able to fight off Paripi.
¡ºAfter Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi ¡ tisplicated, but¡ for now, you may take pride your victory.¡»
It seemed to be enough for Tre¡¯ainar to ept it¡ the battle ended with a lot of confusion, but that alone might have been of great value to me.
And that¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Huh?¡±
I felt the presence of a crowd of people rushing in from outside the building.
The moment I turned around, the pce door opened with a mighty bang.
¡°Prince, we have arrived!¡±
¡°My Prince! What in heavens¡ is that, Heavenly King!?¡±
Ah, these guys¡ were there¡
The Seraphs who had been waiting outside the pce rushed in all at once.
Speaking of which, the Heavenly King couldn¡¯t let them in as a measure against Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eye.
¡°I telepathically called for them¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
With that said, the prince muttered as he limped forward from my side.
¡°His Majesty, what in heavens is this!?¡±
¡°Intruders, it cannot be thee¡!¡±
¡°My Prince, thy face is scarred! Thou scoundrels!¡±
Seeing their bald King with his belly blown off and the bloody and swollen cheeks of the prince, the Seraphs were about to attack us in a murderous rage, but they were stopped by the prince.
¡°Silence! I will allow no harm upon them!¡±
¡°Prince!?¡±
¡°Certainly, they¡¯re intruders, but¡ at the same time, they are also the benefactors who saved this Heavenly World¡ it was by their actions that I became aware of the Paripi conspiracy that none of us realized, and they protected us from his evil hands¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
The words of the prince, who had been watching everything so far, startled the Seraphs to the point where everyone was speechless.
¡°Paripi¡ but? Prince, what does that mean¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll exinter, but first, we must urgently treat Dad¡ His Majesty¡ and the injured benefactors who saved our country!¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°At once!¡±
¡°Understood!''¡±
In retrospect, I was relieved to think that if the Prince had not been here, things would have gotten messy again.
¡°Looks like you read the air, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡ No more ¡ I can¡¯t expose more of my shame¡¡±
The prince replied, biting his lip at my sarcasm.
I¡¯m sure the guy had been through a lot of shock all this time¡ honestly speaking, this guy¡¯s cheek was wounded, and I did hit his torso.
¡°Pucker up, it¡¯s not on you¡ it¡¯s by your Dad¡¯s orders¡¡ he was deceived¡ well, in the end, it¡¯s all Paripi¡¯s evil schemes, so I guess it¡¯s not like you¡¯re at fault.¡±
¡°I disagree. Followed my father¡¯s orders I did, heeded Paripi¡¯s words¡ all of it¡ simply¡¡ because of my desire to be recognized¡ I was blinded.¡±
¡°You wanted to be recognized¡ Oh?¡±
¡°¡¡ but no more. I need not ¡¡ speak of it anymore.¡±
¡°Oh, sure.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯ll be enough to thank thee, but¡ the Jamdi¡¯el case¡ I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Then we don¡¯t need to go wild any more, do we?¡±
Speaking of which, with Kron¡¯s abilities, I was able to see the bald guy¡¯s past and catch a glimpse of what had happened.
And the delicate rtionship between him and the bald guy, and what he himself wanted.
¨C What? Do you want your father¡¯s approval?
Iughed even more now that I couldn¡¯t say that.
¡°¡¡ Parents¡ Huh?¡±
Then I remembered something. Or rather, I realized.
¡°¡¡ Hey, Princess.¡±
¡°Huh? Ah, what, Earth. D, do you want to talk to me? Um, w, what is it? Can you tell me what¡¯s going on?¡±
When I called out to the princess, who was working on the treatment, she suddenly looked up in panic and bit it down quickly.
¡°No, rather than the circumstances¡ you guys came here, but¡ erm¡¡ what are my parents doing? Mother was in Cantidan¡ if Fu had learned space transfer, she would havee with you¡¡±
¡°Y, yes, that¡¯s¡ that, umm¡¡±
Perhaps it wasn¡¯t what she had expected, but the princess shrugged her shoulders slightly, but quickly looked up.
¡°After you and Sadiz disappeared in Cantidan¡ Lady Mamu detected the presence Jamdi¡¯el of the Six Supremacy¡ after that, your friend Bro, the half-demon¡ he wouldn¡¯t say anything about it. But After looking into his background, we found out that he was from Cacretale¡ and also had a connection with Jamdi¡¯el, so it was suggested that you might be in Cacretale.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
At that moment, Kron and Mr. Machio reacted to Bro¡¯s name, but the princess continued regardless.
¡°However, Cacretale is a closed country. And because of some political situation, we were excluded from the investigation team to Cacretale, and furthermore, Cacretale was covered by a barrier the next day, so we couldn¡¯t even get ashore¡ we weren¡¯t just waiting with our fingers crossed, but we couldn¡¯t do anything about it¡¡±
I see¡¡ So, when Fu mastered space transfer magic in thest few months¡ isn¡¯t space transfer somewhat forbidden? Jamdi¡¯el was using it in an assortment of ways.
Well, but he can learn it, after all Fu is¡ Huh? What?
¡°¡¡ Investigation team to Cacretale?¡±
At that moment, a word that the princess uttered caught my attention.
Cacretale Investigation.
In other words, my parents knew I was in Cacretale. Or rather, they suspected it.
However, they couldn¡¯t get inside because of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s barrier, so until now¡ what? But now the barrier¡
¡°Earth?¡±
Now, Jamdi¡¯el was trapped here in the Heavenly World.
So there was no longer a barrier around Cacretale.
What if my parents were keeping an eye near Cacretale? What if they found out that there is no barrier now?
That? If that¡¯s the case, if I go back like this¡ or rather if Kron and Jamdi¡¯el also return to Cacretale, wouldn¡¯t there be trouble?
Author¡¯s Note
My private life has been taken care of. End-of-term work, relocation turmoil, promotion exams, Volume 2 work, bonus SS work, etc¡ I¡¯m seriously tired. In addition, I was tired because the contents of the second volume were quite a bit different from the web version.
I¡¯m sorry if thete update caused a lot of worries about whether I was arrested naked, with the flu or the virus, or if I seeded in marrying and became a full-fledged person.

Chapter 222 ¨C Read the Air
¡°Watch thy step, boys. And thou beautifuldies as well.¡±
This spiral corridor seemed to go on forever.
The further down we go, the deeper the darkness bes, but at the same time, you can feel the fierce miasma from deep within.
They said that she had been confined and prevented from using magic, but even so, anyone can see that the person in the depths of this ce has tremendous power.
But that person was what we are here for.
The prince was guiding us. Followed by me and Kron. Sadiz.
And also¡¡
¡°A few months ago, it was only for a moment, but ¡ feeling it again¡ this much¡¡±
¡°I, I feel such an eerie aura¡¡±
¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡ I haven¡¯t seen her, but I can tell from this¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m scared, Honey. I¡¯m not good with darkness, so can I stick with you?¡±
The princess¡¯ group followed, sweating from the pressure that ¡°she¡± was exerting.
Only Shinobu was still the same, but¡ don¡¯t lie about being afraid of the dark. That was so monotone.
¡°Earth¡ erm¡¡ behind this¡¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
I nodded to the princess, who had a worried look on her face.
Why did wee to the Heavenly World in the first ce?
The reason for all of this is to save the woman trapped in this depths.
And it seems that the princess and the others had encountered her a few months ago, though only for a brief moment.
¡°Oh ¡¡ you¡¯re captured, but you¡¯re still ¡¡ the same¡¡±
Finally, we arrived at the deepest prison.
There she was, chained with her eyes blindfolded.
It seems that she could not use magic, but she still felt so oppressive.
¡°Hmm? This presence¡ eh, Lady Kron!? Lady Kron¡¯s presence! As well as¡¡ Earth Lagann!¡±
¡°Even with your eyes hidden, can you still tell?¡±
There was the captive Jamdi¡¯el.
Just as we got closer, she perceived Kron and I and reacted in surprise.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el! Thank God, you¡¯re safe¡ I¡¯m d.¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡ how¡¡ art thou¡¡±
Why were we here? A natural question for Yamidire.
On the other hand, the princess¡
¡°This is¡ the Six Supremacy, Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°That much¡ she¡¯s trapped in a magical seal¡ and yet like this¡¡±
¡°Simr to Paripi¡ she¡¯s on a different level¡¡±
Even in such a state, Jamdi¡¯el were so overwhelming that they could see the difference in power.
¡°I¡¯ve heard that this country has been attacked¡ even so, Lady Kron¡ but, Lady Kron¡ why?¡±
¡°Hmm¡ do I have to tell you? Of course we¡¯re here to help you!¡±
¡°Eh, Earth Lagann! Thou¡ is it thy doing?! Did thou entice Lady Kron?! To allow Lady Kron to be so reckless for my sake¡ and forget your mission to be a bonded couple with Lady Kron and create the next generation of God?!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s anger is directed at me¡ But, wait a minute¨D¨D¨D
¡°What!? Ah¡ Earth and¡ couple!? Cococo, oooooooh couple¡..!?¡±
¡°¡¡ oh my ¡¡ really¡¡ there are so many obstacles to my union with Honey¡ though that¡¯s what makes our love burn¡¡±
Princess, I¡¯m too surprised. I mean, read the air already.
Shinobu¡ she¡¯s still the same Shinobu as ever, and Iughed bitterly¡
¡°No, Jamdi¡¯el, Earth did not entice me. I came here by my own will and everyone else by theirs. I asked Earth to do this.¡±
¡°Wh, ah¡ does thou mean?¡±
¡°I wanted to help you¡ and Earth heard my wish and granted it.¡±
She seemed to think that I had tricked Kron into bringing me here, and Jamdi¡¯el seemed puzzled by Kron¡¯s words.
¡°Well rather, I¡¯m not in this situation out of a sense of duty, I didn¡¯te to help you.¡±
¡°Earth Lagann¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s a tearful wish¡¡ from a girl who fell in love with me.¡±
Yes, she was the woman who originally kidnapped me and made trouble for me, or rather, who was originally my enemy..
So there¡¯s no way I woulde here of my own volition. I stressed that I only came because Kron asked me to.
¡°L, love¡ a woman¡¯s wish¡ a¡ ah¡ Ah¡¡±
Like I said, princess¡
¡°Jamdi¡¯el, I do not know what you have done in the past¡ what have you been doing recently¡ what you intended to do¡ I don¡¯t know what kind of sin you havemitted. But¡¡ I can¡¯t lie about my feelings. You¡¡ I don¡¯t want to lose it.¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just me, Tsukshi, Karui, Machio, everyone in the dojo¡ and the same goes for the townsfolk. That¡¯s why Earth has lent us his strength.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was blindfolded and could not see Kron¡¯s current appearance or facial features.
But, the strong will that overflows from her voice is transmitted.
¡°¡¡ Lady Kron¡ in but a few days¡ what in the world¡ just what in the world¡¡ happened that thou became¡¡ so mature¡¡±
¡°Ufufu, I am happy to hear you say so.¡±
As Kron had grown up, Jamdi¡¯el couldn¡¯t hide her surprise.
¡°Hey, Earth¡ it¡¯s about time you told us already. Why is the Six Supremacy, Jamdi¡¯el¡ and also, this demon named Kron ¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Princess. It¡¯s still not a good time, okay? Let¡¯s read the air for now.¡±
¡°Ah, ah, I, I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°¡¡ No, don¡¯t be like that. If you¡¯ll just keep quiet a little longer, that¡¯ll be fine¡¡±
It¡¯s a nice atmosphere, so I told the princess to shut up, and she shrank back with a terrible look of nervousness.
What? I was a little worried, but was the princess so mentally weak?
¡°Little man¡ well actually, that¡¯s for the best¡¡±
¡°Earth¡ that was¡¡ kinda awful¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll read as much air as you want, Honey¡ saying that makes me seem like I can¡¯t read the air, I¡¯ll just stay quiet for a while.¡±
I mean, what¡¯s up with these guys¡ well, it¡¯s fine.
¡°Wait¡ Earth Lagann¡ that thou havee this far¡ was thou victorious? Hey, Dictator¡¯s child is here as well!?¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, who was looking deeply impressed with the grown-up Kron, noticed something.
When Jamdi¡¯el asked this, the prince nodded and stepped forward.
¡°Indeed. It is I who led them here.¡±
¡°What in the world happened? And¡ what about that man? Oh, the lowest filth¡¡±
Oh, she¡¯s worried about that.
¡°Paripi escaped, though quite seriously wounded.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°This boy¡ Earth Lagann, defeated him.¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
Apparently, Jamdi¡¯el also knew that Paripi was here, and that was why she was most surprised to hear that Paripi had lost to me.
¡°F, foolish! Though rotten, he is Six Supremacy! For that Paripi? Earth Lagann¡ thou¡ thou art the victor?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Foolish, he is not someone thou can handle with trick as thou did against me ¡ but being that thou truly stands here¡ foolish¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el knew Paripi¡¯s strength better than anyone else here.
That¡¯s why she can¡¯t believe it.
Still, it¡¯s a fact.
¡°That¡¯s why the Prince brought us here¡ he owes us a debt of gratitude¡¡±
¡°¡¡ what¡¡ does that mean¡¡±
¡°And¡ he¡¯ll let you out of here, too¡ but¡¡ with some very strict conditions¡¡±
¡°L¡ let me out!? M, me? Ridiculous! No matter what, the plebeians of Ang Kingdom would never allow it!?¡±
Right. Because I did that much, the prince broke various matters concerning Jamdi¡¯el.
However, there are some veryst minute conditions, and I¡¯m not sure if she¡¯ll take them¡
¡°The runes sealing thy magick¡ will never be removed¡ henceforth, thou be unable to use thy magic eyes or any magick whatsoever¡ that is the condition.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°This can only be released here in the Heavenly World. And thou¡ will never again set foot in this country¡ a permanent banishment. That¡¯s the condition of thy release.¡±
Well, of course she won¡¯t ept these conditions.
But, what if the goddess tells her to?
Besides, considering my parents, is it really a good thing or a bad thing for Jamdi¡¯el to lose her powers¡ in addition¡¡
[Hihahahaha, that¡¯s right SIS~ ?]
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Geh¡¡±
Uh-oh, from the magic crystal in my pocket that I wanted to throw away, but hadn¡¯t thrown away yet, I heard a nauseating voice.
Jamdi¡¯el stiffened with her mouth open.
Yes, that guy.
[Hello again, Sis, It¡¯s Earth Lagann¡¯s right-hand man and top subordinate, Paripi.]
¡°¡¡¡¡ Oh¡ eh? ¡¡ Huh?¡±
[Also Earth. Thanks for earlier. So, I immediately got a report from my man in the Empire ¡ ¡®Koaso¡¯. You know, Coman¡¯s parent. Want to hear~? You want to hear it, don¡¯t you? I¡¯m clever, right? Can you tell ¡®him¡¯¡ Praise me~?]
Jamdi¡¯el was still in bewilderment.
And this¡ let¡¯s get rid of it¡ that¡¯s when I brandished the magic crystal.
[Your mom and dad are somewhere in the waters near Cacretale¡ they may have already sneaked ashore?]
¡°¡¡ I know¡ disconnecting now?¡±
[Oh~, wait, wait, wait~, we also gotta talk about your ¡®friend¡¯~]
I didn¡¯t expect to hear from someone who was worse at reading the air than even the princess so soon.
Author¡¯s Note
Maybe it¡¯s because the evaluation system has changed, but somehow I have gotten into the ranking again, and I am excited to get drills all at once. Volume 2 will be released next week. And in the near future, the information onicalization will be released. I want to give up on marriage for a while and try my best at novels again, so thank you.
By the way, the ban on the Volume 2 illustration has already been lifted in various ces, and I think that you can confirm the appearance of Shinobu and Bro, so please look for it if you are interested.
Chapter 223: Tattling and Proposal
Chapter 223 ¨C Tattling and Proposal
Even a woman like Jamdi¡¯el was surprised by this.
¡°Paripi¡ h, ey, hold on¡ Earth Lagann¡¯s¡ subordinate?¡±
[That¡¯s right, Sis. I¡¯m his man now!]
¡°What art thou nning? What art thy intentions with Earth Lagann, with Kron¡¯s future partner?¡±
[I¡¯ve changed my mind. Yes, starting today!]
¡°Such mockery! I¡¯ll never ept such a thing!¡±
No, even I don¡¯t recognize Paripi as a subordinate.
But I¡¯m not so sure that¡¯s what Jamdi¡¯el was trying to say¡
¡°Somehow, it¡¯s like a parent who doesn¡¯t approve of their child¡¯s marriage, Honey.¡±
¡°W, why, is Jamdi¡¯el of the Six Supremacy so attached to Earth¡? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on anymore¡ a, a, and besides, p, partner¡¡±
¡°Why do these people take the liberty of talking about Little man¡ ugh¡¡±
So the reaction around me was reasonable.
Shinobu looked stunned.
A confused princess.
And when I saw Sadiz with a conflicted expression, as if she thinks she has nothing more to say, my heart aches too.
[Well, that¡¯s Sis for you Earth¡ when ites to the boss, she can¡¯t seem to notice anything else¡ No~ matter what.]
¡°What?¡±
[Just like how excessive love, worship and devotion can cloud the truth¡ Well, that¡¯s the way it is ?.]
Paripi already has some idea of my secret. However, I have no intention of answering the question, and he doesn¡¯t seem to be pursuing me either.
Jamdi¡¯el, on the other hand, was unaware of anything. About the existence of Tre¡¯ainar in me, always by my side.
Paripi snickered at this, but without trying to show the meaning, which frustrated Jamdi¡¯el even more.
[Well, boss. Let¡¯s continue what we were talking about earlier¡]
¡°Wait, Paripi! Don¡¯t ignore me and move on!¡±
[Oh~, yeah yeah¡ Boss. This id¡ Sis is too noisy, can you please step away from her for a minute? Let¡¯s talk in private.]
Since this was not going to get us anywhere, Paripi proposed a private talk with me¡
¡°Screw you, I¡¯ve got nothing to say to you.¡±
First of all, I don¡¯t want to talk to this guy, so I rejected the offer.
But¡
[Oh~, such a thing to say~, my boss~]
¡°Who¡¯s the boss, stop messing around! Listen? I don¡¯t want you¨D¨D¨D ¡°
[Please, boss! It¡¯s definitely useful information for the boss! If you don¡¯t listen, I could slip up and reveal the boss¡¯s favorite erotic book, ¡®Pleasure Craze!¡¯. The Busty Cool Big Sister Collecti¨D¨D¨D]
¡°Uruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!¡±
At that moment, I was screaming to block out all sounds.
But when I turned around, I could tell by everyone¡¯s expression that it was already toote.
¡°Honey¡ you¡¯re a boy. But¡¡ guh, big tits¡ no, if you give up, that¡¯s where the bust ends. Even I have the potential for growth¡ but if pushes to shove, the Ninpo Arts for Breast Augmentation can¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know! Sadiz, is that true? If Earth had had any naughty books, you were obligated to report them all to me.¡±
¡°My apologies. Certainly, that ero-book was hidden in a changing closet by Little man. However, because the genre was so convenient for me, I pretended to ignore it without disposing of it or reporting it to the princess¡ ahem ahem ahem¡ there¡¯s nothing to criticize. Sadiz understands.¡±
¡°Big¡ tits? Earth likes something called big tits?¡±
Shinobu, while sighing, was patting her chest¡ that sullen expression¡ adora¡ ble¡
How do I put it, princess, what the hell! Why do you need to know about someone¡¯s private life and hobbies!
And I didn¡¯t want to know at this ce and time that Sadiz actually found me out.
The only one who doesn¡¯t know better was Kron. Please grow up healthy.
¡°¡¡ Earth Lagann¡ with Lady Kron it¡¯s not about size, but beauty¡ did thou not bask at her beautiful breasts in the bath?¡±
¡°And you, don¡¯t take it so seriously, Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
Why would this Dark Valkyrie counter it there!?
No, I did see them! I can still remember them vividly due to ¡¾Canonicon¡¿.
But if you say that here¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±Bask in the bath¡ eh?! You went in together¡ eh!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
You see. Shinobu, who didn¡¯t know that, would react.
And the Princess, she has always been so vocal about this kind of thing. Come to think of it, when she heard that I took a bath with Sadiz when I was little, she was so upset that she started screaming¡
¡°Yes, I took a bath with Earth, didn¡¯t I? I even wiped his body.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Also, I saw Earth¡¯s thingy, was it?¡±
¡°Honey¡¯s thingy!?¡±
¡°Earth¡¯s¡ even for me, thest time I saw it, when we took a bath together, we were five years old?!¡±
¡°Kron, I beg you, will you shut up for a minute already!?¡±
At this point, not only Shinobu and the princess, but also Fu and Rebal were looking at with terrible contempt.
Only Sadiz, who knew the situation, smiled wryly, but doesn¡¯t seem to follow.
Oh no. I have to do something about this quickly¡
[By the way, that erotic book, along with twenty others, was provided by ¡®Ouna Nyst¡¯, who has transferred to a different school¡ isn¡¯t that right? Coman dear.]
[¡¡ Yes¡]
¡°Coman! What the hell were you spying on?! I don¡¯t want to see any of you bastards again, but the next time I see you, I¡¯ll remember this!¡±
I knew I should¡¯ve killed that fucking demon! If only Coman hadn¡¯t interfered!
Oh, I didn¡¯t realize that Coman knew what I was doing. Well, the actual number of books I got from Ouna was eighteen¡ I went straight home from the academy and carefully counted them, so no doubt about it!
[Yeah¡ in fact, to check the contents, Coman also went through those 20 erotic books during the break time at the academy before Earth took them home¡ and that was the first time for Coman, too, and before I knew it, she secretly kept two for he rarara, hokyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?!!]
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
[Hey, Coman, wait, hey, I can¡¯t see, I can¡¯t see anything! Hey¡ you¡¯re going to gouge my eyes out with your fingers¡ hey, it takes a long time to heal those!?]
Suddenly, I heard Paripi scream. I couldn¡¯t see him, but it seemed that something terribly horrifying has happened.
Damn¡
¡°Oh~ fine then¡ everyone¡ right. Hey guys, stay here for a moment.¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Honey?¡±
¡°Little man¡¡±
¡°My spirit can¡¯t take anymore¡ I¡¯m going to talk to him alone for a bit¡¡±
I don¡¯t want this guy revealing any more weird stuff.
Holding the magic crystal, I walked away to a distance where no one could hear my conversation with Paripi.
¡°So¡ what is it, talk?¡±
[Hah~ hah~¡ er~, girls are scary, boss. You should watch out too.]
¡°Get on with it¡¡±
[Ah, yeah. You know about¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D]
¡°¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
And I got information from the devil, which I certainly needed, unfortunately.
[¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D so that¡¯s it. Well, Cacretale was already governed and controlled by Sis¡ on the other hand, the old regime that stubbornly enforced the seclusion was destroyed by Sis, and above all, the attack by the Heavenly World has made it essential for Cacretale to receive reconstruction support from the outside world. There¡¯s no way the Union¡ old man Mikado¡ or Hiro wouldn¡¯t interfere. So Sis and Kron can¡¯t go back to Cacretale anymore.]
¡°¡¡ I guess.¡±
[That¡¯s why as soon as Coman¡¯s parent¡ Koaso left the Empire, ¡®he¡¯ also went to work behind the scenes. If the release of Sis is on the condition of sealing her power, and she will be a mere woman out on the streets with Kron¡ why don¡¯t you leave it to me¡ and ¡°that guy¡± as a bodyguard?]
I couldn¡¯t immediately turn down the devil¡¯s proposal, so I kept quiet and thought about it for a while.

Chapter 224: The Feelings of the Goddess
Chapter 224 ¨C The Feelings of the Goddess
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ I¡¯m done talking to Paripi.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°And back to the topic at hand. To get you out of here¡ they¡¯re going to have to seal your power.¡±
After talking to Paripi, I will talk to Jamdi¡¯el again about the future.
Sure enough, Jamdi¡¯el gives me a jittery look¡ no, as her eyes are closed, was it even a jittery look?
¡°Hey, Earth Lagann¡ how did thou get caught up with the dross like Paripi?¡±
¡°No, I didn¡¯t get talked down to¡¡±
¡°No tongue is as calcting, deflective, or quick to falsehood and betrayal as his! After all, is it not by such a man that even the Heavenly World hase to this turbulent state?!¡±
Yes, that¡¯s exactly right. Really, I can¡¯t trust anyone like that at all, and I¡¯m hesitant to take him up on his offer.
That¡¯s why it¡¯s so frustrating.
I don¡¯t trust him and I don¡¯t want to rely on him, but I have no other choice.
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°What do you say about her?¡±
¡°¡¡ that¡¯s?¡±
But, I¡¯m not the one who¡¯s going to release this person.
I asked Kron, who then puffed up her cheeks and scolded Jamdi¡¯el in her cell.
¡°Enough, Jamdi¡¯el! Don¡¯t be selfish. Surely losing power may be unbearable for you. But at this rate¡ I¡.. I can¡¯t be with you! That¡¯s what I hate the most.¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡ and yet¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need any power¡ I¡.. I want to stay with Jamdi¡¯el from now on. I want you by my side. Someday, if I have a baby with Earth, I want Jamdi¡¯el to hold it too.¡±
Yes, what Kron wanted was not Jamdi¡¯el as the Six Supremacy, much less Jamdi¡¯el as the High Priestess, but what she wanted was¡
¡°M, mothe¡ mo, ther¡ m¡ uh, mo¡¡±
¡°No, read the air, me¡ Honey would think that the woman who cringes here is annoying¡ just calmly count prime numbers¡ a child who will be born someday¡ the dream of Sakura as our daughter and Sasuke as our son. but only in my heart right now¡¡±
¡°A baby with Little man¡ even if it wasn¡¯t me who gave birth¡ I¡¯ll be the one to hold it¡ ugh¡¡±
Somehow the princess¡ she¡¯s already so dizzyingly disheartened¡ I¡¯m getting worried¡ or rather, she needs your support at a time like this, Rebal.
I¡¯m sorry for Shinobu¡¯s upset attitude because I know how she feels. I mean, Sakura? Sasuke? What is that, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already thought of your child¡¯s name¡?
And it seemed that Sadiz was saying something that can¡¯t be ignored¡
¡°Lady Kron¡ thy feelings are¡ however, I cannot simply ept the loss of my power.¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
¡°There will be those who will target thee, Lady Kron. More and more wille to know the existence of the Daybreak Eye and its holder. At such times, without the power to protect thee even at the risk of my life ¡ I¡¡±
The power of Jamdi¡¯el. It¡¯s not so much for herself, it¡¯s all for Kron¡¯s sake.
To protect Kron.
Because of her existence, Jamdi¡¯el thinks that she cannot afford to lose her power in order to protect Kron who may be targeted by someone in the future.
In response to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s feelings, Kron ¡
¡°Then I¡¯ll get stronger! Rather, Jamdi¡¯el, I will be strong enough to protect you!¡±
¡°¡¡ y¡ yes?¡±
Yes, she said that.
¡°I will be so strong¡ that you will feel safe Jamdi¡¯el¡ that you won¡¯t have to risk your life for me. So please don¡¯t say that.¡±
¡°No, Lady Kron, what art thou saying! What is truly important, what the world needs is Lady Kron! I cannot allow thee to protect me I¡¯m afraid! Thou should never entertain such thoughts¡ª¡±
¡°I need Jamdi¡¯el, not the world! You, Jamdi¡¯el! No matter what kind of life you lead and what kind of feelings you have for me¡ I want to stay with you!¡±
Kron would say this now that she was stronger and has grown in heart.
¡°Why¡ Lady Kron, going so far for me or others¡¡±
However, during this period, Jamdi¡¯el was still saying this.
She¡¯s a really troublesome woman.
¡°Geez¡ just cut it out, Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°Earth Lagann¡ what do thou mean?¡±
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of your own agenda that you¡¯ve taken care of Kron so much, but¡ you should understand Kron¡¯s feelings¡ other people¡¯s feelings a little bit. It¡¯s terrible to be too insensitive, isn¡¯t it?¡±
She¡¯s so dense, Jamdi¡¯el, and I¨D¨D¨D
¡º¡¡ You¡¡»
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Earth(Little man)¡ ¡°¡±¡±¡±
Huh? Why did master and all the princess¡¯ group have faces there like, ¡°Did you just say that?¡±.
No, no, I¡¯m not dense.
I understood Kron and Shinobu¡¯s feelings for me, and I¡¯m facing them¡
¡°He¡¯s right, Jamdi¡¯el. Please understand my feelings too.¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡¡±
¡°Because¡ to me¡¡ you¡¯re the one who raised me¡ stayed with me my entire life¡ you¡¯re my family¡ª¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
It may be that Jamdi¡¯el herself did not see things that way at all.
Kron was created out of her warped feelings for Tre¡¯ainar, and Jamdi¡¯el may have acted as a servant or loyal vassal.
But still, Kron is¡
¡°To me¡you are¡ my¡¡ ¡°
At that moment, Kron tightly clenched her fists, a little hesitantly, a little embarrassed, and with tears slowly welling up in her eyes, trying to say something.
¨D¨D My true feelings¡ were full of what I really wanted to call her¡ there were so many¡ in the end, I couldn¡¯t say anything!!
They were her thoughts from the moment Jamdi¡¯el was taken away and a regretful Kron let them out.
To say it, to say that, Kron hase this far.
¡°My¡ Mother¡¡ so.¡±
¡°¡¡ wh¡ eh¡?¡±
That¡¯s the true feeling that Kron had for Jamdi¡¯el all along.
Even if the world doesn¡¯t allow it.
¡°Fufufu ¡¡±
¡°Prince? What was that?¡±
¡°No, it was the first I¡¯m hearing of it¡ so¡¡ I was surprised, but at the same time ¡¡ amused, though it was imprudent of me, Iughed, boy.¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was speechless with astonishment. The prince, who had been watching the whole thing, gave Kron a warm smile.
¡°That girl¡ she¡¯s a doll that¡¯s been created¡ I was told as such, still it was wrong. No matter what others may think¡ for a child, a parent is a parent¡ they¡¯re important¡ that girl¡ is no different from me¡¡±
¡°Yeah. Well, I guess everyone¡¯s family situation is different, but¡¡±
Perhaps he wasparing Kron to his own feelings for his parents, or perhaps he would normally be surprised that a sinner like Jamdi¡¯el would be called ¡°mother¡±, but the prince seemed to rather sympathize with Kron andughed.
As for me¡¡ I wonder what¡¯s going on¡
¡°For now, I¡¯ll keep my word. If Jamdi¡¯el loses her power¡ I swear on my life to ensure that the Heavenly World will nevery hands on her¡ not that we forgive Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s past sins, but¡ we are indebted to thee. We shall never get involved with these two again.¡±
¡°Oh¡ well, let them be.¡±
¡°So, about thy future¡ should we return thee all to the ind? Or instead¡ will thou ride back on the back of that odd faced dragon? If possible, I would have thought of a banquet, but this is no situation or atmosphere for such¡ my father is still unconscious, as well¡¡±
The prince, who has yet toe to an agreement with me, asked me about the future.
Yes, this is the Heavenly World. Even if we were to go back, it does not mean that I can easily go back.
I could have taken Hilua, but¡
¡°Hey, I want Hilua to send Kron and Jamdi¡¯el to a certain ce¡ and drop me off on the way there¡ everyone else can be sent back by you.¡±
¡°Very well¡¡±
¡°The three of us¡ won¡¯t we go back to Cacretale?¡±
In any case, the problem with my parents has still not been solved¡ I mean, I don¡¯t intend to do it myself¡ Huh?
I feel like I¡¯m forgetting something¡
Yes, if I had remembered that at this point, I might have explored different options.
At that time, I¡ in Cacretale on the Surface¡
¡°Fufufu~un? Cleaning, wiping¡ cleaning up!¡±
¡°Oh, how lovely! Are you cleaning up?¡±
I was so busy thinking about the fact that my mother and father wereing, about Jamdi¡¯el and Kron, about Paripi¡
¡°Un! I¡¯m a good girl! I have to help a lot! If I¡¯m a good girl, everyone woulde back soon!¡±
I hadpletely forgotten about the little girl who was humming and waiting for ¡°all¡± of us toe home
¡°Big Sister, uncle, goddess, high priestess¡ Older brother! I wonder if everyone wille back soon~?¡±
That¡¯s why I¡¯vee to realize that¡
Maybe I wasn¡¯t qualified toin about my parents.
I¡¯m about to do the same thing¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D

Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!
Chapter 225 ¨C Farewell Hugs
Somehow or other, the conversation reached a resolution.
Whether Kron can continue to call Jamdi¡¯el ¡°Mother¡± or whether Jamdi¡¯el epts it will be a matter for both of them.
But, it was likely that Kron¡¯s desire to stay with Jamdi¡¯el will be heard.
¡°All that¡¯s left, is me¡¡±
Paripi¡¯s suggestion was that the future of Jamdi¡¯el and Kron should be left to ¡°that guy¡±.
It might be much better than going back to the current Cacretale or throwing them both out into the middle of nowhere.
But then what do I do next¡
¡°Honey.¡±
¡°Little man.¡±
At that moment, Shinobu and Sadiz stood in front of me with sad expressions.
¡°Honey, that means you¡¯re not going home with everyone, but¡¡±
¡°Then¡ we¡¯ll have to say goodbye here¡ don¡¯t we?¡±
The two of them reaffirmed the meaning of my words.
That¡¯s right, that¡¯s how it is.
¡°Sadiz, that¡¯s what we originally talked about back in Cacretale¡¡±
¡°Yes, I had a faint hope that I would be able to help you out and make your troubles go away, but¡¡±
¡°I see¡ well, it¡¯s true that you being there was a great help to me Sadiz¡ but¡¡±
¡°Yes, I know.¡±
Once, we even hugged each other in the Cacretale and said our goodbyes.
Sadiz didn¡¯t say ¡°rethink this¡± or ¡°take me too¡± or anything like that.
¡°Even if the Master and Madam were just a stone¡¯s throw away¡ I¡¯m on your side, Little man.¡±
¡°Sadiz¡¡±
Gently wrapping her hands around my cheeks, Sadiz said it again with tears in her eyes, and¡
¡°But, one more hug.¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
¡°Hmm~, Little man¡ cuddling, on my springy boobs.¡±
¡°Oh, ah¡¡±
¡°If it¡¯s the current you, Little man, with the power and strength of your mind right now, I¡¯ll push your back¡ if you return now¡ as a perk, you can have my tits, or do other Erotic Things, as much as you want~¡
¡°Heeeeeeeeeeey!!¡±
Seeing me off again¡ a hug for that¡ while saying that, Sadiz half-jokingly seduces me.
Seriously ¡¡ oh, tits ¡¡ erotic things¡ as much as I want¡ no matter how many times ¡ no way?
¡°¡¡ is that how it is¡ like that¡ ah, ahem, Honey!¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
When I was a little confused, Shinobu, who had been sneaking around for some time, grabbed my sleeve as Sadiz hugged me with a slightly smug expression.
¡°I also¡ I really want to be with you, Honey¡ go on dates, eat together, make out, and have a big hustle tussle at night¡¡±
¡°O, oh¡¡±
¡°But you know, I¡¯m¡ on Honey¡¯s side in any world or situation¡ there¡¯s something meaningful about Honey leaving us and going off alone again, and as long as you want it, I, as a woman, won¡¯t drag your feet.¡±
Shinobu likes me and really wants to stay with me, but she was trying her best to be a good listener and support me.
Geez¡ really¡¡ a waste of a good woman¡
¡± But you know what, I¡¯d¡¡ like a hug too¡ at least.¡±
¡°If that¡¯s all¡ eh?¡±
So when Shinobu asked me for a hug, I naturally epted.
Actually, I¡¯ve been enjoying Sadiz¡¯ tits, the way her body rubbed against mine and her scent¡ no, I wanted to hug her a little more, but I pulled away from Sadiz and spread my arms out to Shinobu.
¡°Nmu, Little man¡ to shake off my boobs¡ he¡¯s really mentally tough¡ after all, the next time will be raw rather than over clothes¡¡±
Sadiz pouted her lips a little ufortably¡ ah~, damn, that face was cute too¡ I mean¡
¡°Here, Shinobu.¡±
¡°Ah ?.¡±
¡°Erm¡ I¡¯m grateful for all you¡¯ve done for me this time around. You¡¯ve been helping me a lot since Mr, Aka¡¡±
¡°Honey¡ big, warm¡ wrapping me¡ ah, I resent myck of vocabry¡ Boso¡¡ Space-Time Ninja Art ¡¾Marking¡¿plete¡ Hehehe with this¡¡±
¡°Shinobu? What was that? You were whispering.¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing! Oh, hug me tighter, so hard that I break?.¡±
¡°O, oh!¡±
Her body was smaller than I thought. Unlike Sadiz, it does not have the flesh of an adult woman.
But, this little body has helped me out so many times.
Really, this girl¡
¡°Ufufufufu, everyone is getting along.¡±
¡°Lady Kron! Suchposure! I understand the future, but at least if thou dy in these situations, will others not gain an advantage over thee? In order to give birth to the future Son of Earth Lagann before anyone else, make the most of the opportunity here!¡±
¡°Oh, is that so? Oh¡ Mother¡¡±
¡°Ahhhhh! I hear nothing. See here, we must hurry¡¡±
¡°Nmmu, Jamdi¡¯el, you¡¯re so shy¡ ufufufu, but it¡¯s okay~, because one day, I¡¯ll have you ept me. For that reason, for now, I¡¯ll be a good girl who listens to my parents! So, Earth~!¡±
Kron jumped on me and Shinobu¡¯s hug while smiling, and hugged both me and Shinobu as if to envelope us.
Her expression was somewhat challenging, yet refreshing.
Undoubtedly, when ites to Jamdi¡¯el, Kron was even more¡
¡°Hey, you! No matter how much you consider yourself a worthy rival and a friend, I need you to read the air here!¡±
¡°But I love Earth, too, so I want a big hug for myself.¡±
Anyway, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve hugged a girl my age like this¡ but¡ I mean¡
¡°¡¡ Honey?¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°Hmm? Nope¡¡±
No, it¡¯s inappropriate at a time like this, but¡ now¡¡ I¡ I thought I was in quite the popr phase¡ I thought.
On the other hand¡
¡°Fu, ga ¡¡ ah, gag ¡¡ nnngaah¡.¡±
¡°P, princess, f, fell, fell down¡ no way right¡¡±
¡°Sorry for the trouble¡ normally I¡ would say that, but I¡¯m so sorry I can¡¯t do it¡¡±
At that moment, something that looked like a mummy appeared at the edge of my field of vision¡ it was the princess.
¡°Tte, u o~tsu!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±??¡±¡±¡±¡±
I was surprised.
The princess cried tears of blood that she had never shown before¡
¡°Uh, ah, uuuuh, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, EEEEEAAAAAARTH!!
¡°Ha, eh, wh, what?¡±
And finally, the princess, who was always crisp, cool and mature¡
¡°Whyyy? Why are you being so mean to me? Why?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t tell me anything, and you just flirt with other girls in front of me as if to show off! There has to be a limit to the number of lovers one can have¡ but, buuuuuuuut!¡±
Finally holding her head and crying like a little child¡ what¡¯s wrong?
¡°Tell me¡ as well¡ Earth¡¡ tell me already! What happened, what happened to you, Earth! Tell me!¡±
Oh, I see¡
¡°Princess¡¡±
So that¡¯s how it is. She¡¯s been treated coldly, and kept out of the loop.
As a childhood friend, it was discouraging to be treated like that and not to being told anything.
There was also the whole thing with Coman¡
¡°I see¡ naturally¡ I¡¯m sorry, Princess.¡±
¡°Ewannn, ugh, gusu, higu¡¡±
I have to tell them to some extent.
To the princess, to Fu, to Rebal¡ this time I was helped a lot.
¡°You¡ all this time, didn¡¯t you like me? You¡¯ve always loved me, haven¡¯t you!?¡±
¡°Eh? No, not really?¡±
¡°Gusu¡ and yet, why with a woman I don¡¯t know¡¡¡¡¡¡ eh?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡¡¡ Hmm? Huh? What are you talking about?
¡°¡±¡±Uh oh~¡¡¡±¡±¡±
Why are Sadiz, Fu and Rebal all staring at me like ¡°Oh no!¡±?
¡ºDrats!¡»
Even Tre¡¯ainar?!
Author¡¯s Note
It makes me sad to see that in my recent career as a novelist, there is a trend ofeuppance and istion against childhood friends.
Childhood friends are inherently precious. If connections between people are an asset in life, childhood friends are assets that can be obtained without difficulty, like a lottery ticket.
Even if they have the worst personality, if you have a connection to a childhood friend, you should cherish it.
So, take good care of your childhood friends. Don¡¯t make your childhood friend cry. Don¡¯t make them sad.
Chapter 226: What I Was Pursuing Back Then
Chapter 226 ¨C What I Was Pursuing Back Then
TN: Boys¡ get your Popcorn ready!!!!!
In a way, this was just as surprising as the deration that Paripi would be my subordinate or Coman showing her true nature.
In the first ce, after pushing that attitude of disliking and condescending me to the fullest, there must be something wrong with my thought circuit if I believed the princess liked me, so why was she surprised the moment I said that she was wrong? Rather, I was surprised.
¡°Heh, ah, ¡¡ eh? E, Earth¡ t, that¡ eh¡ what?¡±
No, what are you talking about?
¡°Guh~, what are you saying, Earth! W, who, then, who have you been looking at, if you don¡¯t like me?!¡±
¡°Sadiz.¡±
¡°Fugah¡¯!?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
I answered in an instant.
Oh no, she¡¯s right here!
¡°Li, ttle man¡ ohohohohoho, so precious.¡±
¡°Ugh, guh¡¡±
¡°Goodness, Li, tle, ma, Little maaaaaaaaan¡ r, really. Well, I, I knew, but hey. Who was Little man looking at~¡±
¡°Uh~ ¡ gu, ka, don¡¯t tease me¡¡±
¡°Hoh~?! Fufu, ohohohoho¡¡ bosu¡. guh, even though I knew, this reaction¡ the strength to defeat a Six Supremacy, even though his body and mind have grown, this innocent reaction¡ utterly adorable¡ I want to eat him up¡ Oh¡¡±
Sadiz¡¯s thoughts were leaking out of her mouth.
Well, that was probably a bit of teasing, and Sadiz wouldugh with a cool expression as a ¡®grown-up¡¯.
Besides, I couldn¡¯t bear thatugh, so I turned my back and my shoulders were trembling with excitement.
Damn, so embarrassing¡
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡ That? What is it¡¡ now¡¡ my chest feels queasy¡?¡±
¡°Lady Kron, it¡¯s a disease¡ The Love Sickness¡ thou, Earth Lagann. That¡¯s why, thou should have bedded Lady Kron as soon as possible¡¡±
¡°Guh, uh, w, well, I knew she was Honey¡¯s first love, but¡ I still get jealous when it is mentioned in front of me¡¡±
I mean, even though I did it unconsciously, it can¡¯t be smart.
Was Jamdi¡¯el so angry that she gave off a menacing aura?
Kron tilted her head sadly, not knowing what the pain in her chest was.
And Shinobu, who didn¡¯te forward, still looked frustrated.
That¡¯s right¡
¡°M, my bad¡ Kron¡¡ Shinobu¡¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°Honey¡¡±
Right now, I¡¯m¡
¡°Oh, that, that¡ I mean, I should not say that in front of you guys who told me that you like me¡ that wasn¡¯t considerate of me¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
Right. To the two people who were in love with me, I haven¡¯t given a clear answer yet, and they¡¯ve still done something like risk their lives for me, and this is what I do.
I think I¡¯m doing the worst thing possible.
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Kyu~¡¡±
At that moment, Kron nodded as if he had something in her heart, and Shinobu turned bright red in the face and began to moan, ¡°awawa¡±.
¡°¡¡ I see¡¡ my chest, which had been tightened¡¡ fluttered just now.¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°I am overjoyed and saddened by your words¡ is this what love is? I learned one more thing that I liked today.¡±
¡°Hmm¡¡±
¡°Ehehe, I¡¯m d I learned from you.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Dazzling!? This Goddess¡¡ oh, no, such a dazzling smile, I stood there for a moment¡
¡°Honey, you really are ¡¡ a dork, aren¡¯t you¡¡±
¡°Uh? ¡ wh¡ what?¡±
¡°My love is not so weak ¡¡ as to be broken by this.¡±
¡°Shinobu¡¡±
¡°For now¡ you understand my feelings¡ and that¡¯s enough. Because the rest is up to me.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
My cheeks, hot, as a squirming and embarrassed Shinobu plucked my sleeve with her fingers.
Oh, I wonder what it is¡ already¡¡
¡°I see.¡±
¡°Yes ?.¡±
¡°That¡¯s how it is ?.¡±
Until now, I¡¯ve only ever directed my feelings of liking a girl to Sadiz.
And because Sadiz was also a perfect superhuman in every sense, she was beautiful, smart, strong, tough but sometimes sweet and sexy, so I honestly didn¡¯t think anything of the girls around me at the academy or the Imperial City.
But by going out into the outside world for a bit and broadening my horizons¡
¡°Geez, look. Let¡¯s take Jamdi¡¯el out and get going right away.¡±
¡°Oh, Earth, ufufu~, he¡¯s so shy~¡±
¡°Ufu~, are you already embarrassed, Honey? Ara ara!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not embarrassed!¡±
¡°Oh dear, is that so~?¡±
¡°This is a nice development. Can we attack now?¡±
I can¡¯t give you an answer yet, but¡ it¡¯s just that¡¡ I also have some kind of sweet and sour, but also warm feeling¡
¡°WIIIIIIIL YOOOOOOU STOOOOOOOP INGNORING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Ah¡¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡¡ Hah¡¡±¡±¡±
¡°Oh~¡ Little man¡¡ I should leave you alone for a bit, huh?¡±
Oh, not good, I forgot.
The princess shouted with a look of indignation mixed with tears, demanding not to be ignored.
Fu, Rebal and Sadiz were already scratching their heads, and the prince, who seemed to have the least understanding of the situation, had a drawn-out smile on his face.
¡°Erm, ah, p, princess ¡¡ er, I guess the story is?¡±
¡°So it is I whom you love, right? Your first love may have been Sadiz, but now it must be me!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Why?¡±
¡°What?! Why ¡ eh? Ah ¡ that? No ¡ why?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°?¡±
Anyway¡¡ the princess is¡ does the princess think I like her?
¡°Because we ¡ in the future ¡ we¡¯re going to get married¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?!¡±
¡°What¡¯s that face like it¡¯s your first time hearing it!?¡±
¡°Because, it¡¯s my first time hearing it!¡±
¡°What do you mean? We¡¯ve been engaged since we were little, and you were supposed to be my husband and lead the empire with me in the future! Father, and Lord Hiro, intended it as well!¡±
¡°What¡¯s that!?¡±
How many shocking events and shocking facts do I need to find out today?
Am I the princess¡¯ fianc¨¦?! Is that what the Emperor and my father intend?
¡°Sadiz, is that true!?¡±
¡°¡¡ No¡.. well¡¡ that¡¡ the Master and Madam wanted it¡ I knew it, too, in case you were wondering.¡±
¡°Huh? Why! Because I¡¯ve been asking Sadiz to be my wife since I was little¡!¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
Sadiz knew.
Did Rebal and Fu also know?
No, but why didn¡¯t I, the person in question, know about this?
¡°Well, is that so, Earth¡¡±
¡°For once¡ it wasn¡¯t Princess Phianse¡¯s assumptions or delusions¡¡±
¡°Besides, he likes Sadiz so much¡ that he wants her to be a bride¡¡±
¡°Ugh, I¡¯m jealous¡¡±
Oh¡ again, in front of these two¡
¡°Shinobu¡ Kron¡¡ um, I¡¯m sorry¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡ºEver the cur!!!!¡»
¡°Nu!?¡±
¡°¡±?¡±¡±
Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent for a long time, finally got angry, saying ¡°enough¡±.
I mean, I¡¯m the only one who can hear his voice¡
¡°Oh, hey, Earth¡ y, you¡ didn¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡ Princess¡¡±
¡°That we will be married in the future¡¡±
¡°O, ou¡¡±
I mean, I thought you were looking down on me.
¡°So, then, Earth, what did you think of me all this time?¡±
¡°In my eyes¡ a, a Childhood Friend.¡±
¡°~~~~~~u!!??¡±
That¡¯s why, honestly, I wasn¡¯t good at¡ talking to the princess¡ but I feel like it would be kind of bad if I said that out loud.
But even without saying it, it was conveyed.
The princess¡¯s eyes swirled as she wobbled.
¡°It can¡¯t be¡¡±
¡°Princess?¡±
¡°When Earth ran away from the Imperial City¡ Lady Mamu, said something like¡¡¡ Earth doesn¡¯t really love me, so I¡ but that was a lie so I wouldn¡¯t worry, and Earth and I both have feelings for each other¡ we are lovers, man and wife¡ yes¡¡ by all rights, once the match was over, we will be together, officially ¡ Huh?!¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Yes, the Graduation Match!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
The princess, who was muttering in confusion, looked up.
¡°Before the match¡ how do you exin it? There was that talk we had one morning on our way to school!¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°You said you knew¡¡ what my feelings and wishes were! You, on the other hand, said you would win the championship to get what you wanted too!¡±
I remember ¡¡ saying that.
¨D¨D¨D I¡¯ve never lost to you¡ That¡¯s why I won¡¯t lose our match. And when I win the championship¡ I get everything! Everything¡ That¡¯s it
¨D¨D¨DCertainly, I¡¯m not sure I¡¯m thinking that deeply about the futurepared to you. But¡ I¡¯m serious about this tournament, too. No, I¡¯m going to take it seriously. I¡¯m the one who wins the championship!
Shortly after I met Tre¡¯ainar, I remember having that conversation with the princess when we met by chance on our way to school in the morning¡
The princess¡¯ feelings at that time?
For the sake of the Empire. For the world. For humanity. For the future. We will continue to protect the current world of peace.
I thought maybe she kept harboring such lofty thoughts.
¡°The day Rebal and Fu came back! You said you were the one who would win! Because there¡¯s something you can¡¯t give up!¡±
I remember that too.
¨D¨D¨DI know you guys are strong, but¡ I¡¯m the one who will win! There¡¯s something I can¡¯t give up either!
I made that deration after being egged on by Tre¡¯ainar. As a way of putting pressure on myself.
¡°Didn¡¯t it mean that you would confess and propose to me, as I was thinking of dering to all the people that I would marry you upon my victory, and give our pledge to serve the people of the Empire, peace, and justice for all eternity?¡±
¡°Whaaaaat was thaaaaaaaat!!!
¡°Wh¡ uh¡¡±
¡°I never said that¡ I didn¡¯t mean it that way at all¡¡±
No, really, why would I do that?
In the first ce, I was¡
¡°N, no way¡¡±
And the princess, so shocked that she copsed to her knees, her whole body trembled¡
¡°No way, no way, no way! So, what does that mean? Was it¡ my misunderstanding? Then what did you want to win?! Wasn¡¯t it me?!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°What you wanted to get when you won¡ if it¡¯s not me, what was it!?¡±
What I wanted to win and get at that time¡ something I¡¯ve been chasing for a long time¡
¡°No! At that time, if I won, Sadiz¡¯s boobs¡ b¡ eh!?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
I hurriedly held my mouth down.
I looked at Sadiz involuntarily. Sadiz quickly averted her eyes.
And I looked at the princess again.
¡°Oh¡ Princess¡¡±
¡± ( ©b§Õ©b)?¡±
The princess had an expression I had never seen before.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your support. Yesterday, I learned about your feelings for your childhood friend.
But I like Princess Ph, Phinseng. After all, she is my favorite character. Otherwise, I would not try to recover the misunderstanding of the previous 200 chapters. Even after hundreds of chapters, I still have feelings for Princess Ph, Phinseng, which is why I put her out there. I have never had the slightest desire to jump on the bandwagon and go all in, so let me say that clearly.
So, seriously, if you don¡¯t have sympathy to some extent, the princess will really be helpless, so I would like to apologize for overdoing it.
Chapter 227: Cursing Each Other
Chapter 227 ¨C Cursing Each Other
¡°For now¡ the two of thee should talk. Boy. Princess.¡±
¡°P, Prince¡¡±
The prince, who seemed calm, pped his hands and announced so, smiling bitterly, as if he pitied the princess a little under the circumstances.
¡°It would be awkward and confusing with the goddess and Little man¡¯s friends here, wouldn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Well, ah¡ yes, but¡¡±
¡°Such is your duty as well, boy. Please face it diligently.¡±
Kron, Shinobu and Sadiz were especially worried that it would getplicated.
To be honest, I¡¯m also confused about various things, so I nodded, thinking that it would be better to calmly unpack the difference in perception between the princess and me.
¡°¡¡ Princess¡¡±
¡°Fah? What?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°What is it, Earth? Do you have something to say to me? Hmm, Phianse and Earth have something to talk about, do they?¡±
No good. Her mind is all over the ce¡
¡± Let¡¯s go outside for now.¡±
¡°Aha. We¡¯re holding hands.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Pulling on the princess¡¯ hand, we step outside.
Maybe she¡¯s not mentally present, or maybe she¡¯s running away from reality, or maybe she¡¯s gone crazy from an overdose of embarrassment when she realized that she had misunderstood that I always liked her.
And¡..
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºHmm?¡¯¡»
¡¸Um¡ hey¡¡ I don¡¯t think so, but¡ I understand that the princess misunderstood a lot of things about me, but¡¡¹
To be honest, it was shocking, but if it was just a simple misunderstanding, it might not have gone this far.
So, when I looked at the situation of the princess now, I had a thought.
¡¸Maybe¡ the princess¡ it can¡¯t be¡ about me¡¡¹
¡ºTis something that should be heard from the mouth of the person herself, not something I can answer for you.¡»
¡¸¡¡ yes, but¡¡¹
¡ºRather, just get on with it. We have much do, how long will this nonsensest¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar let out a sigh of exasperation. With a look that said ¡°Don¡¯t keep messing around¡± in this situation.
I mean, Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t seem surprised by the situation at all, but did he know it?
¡°¡¡ Princess¡¡±
¡°Fuih?¡±
¡°¡¡ Phianse!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah! Ah¡ ah¡ eh? ¡¡ Earth.¡±
We got out of the dungeon and faced each other on the endless sky.
When I called her name, the princess finally seemed to realize the situation while looking around with a huff.
¡°¡¡¡¡¡ Oh.¡±
¡°Oh¡ erm¡¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s you¡¡±
¡°No, no, no, your manners¡¡±
Awkward.
¡°¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±
Even though we were facing each other alone, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
But we can¡¯t keep dragging this on¡
¡°Everything¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Everything¡ from the beginning¡¡ has been my misunderstanding¡ wasn¡¯t it?¡±
My heart ached when the princess weakly asked me that.
¡°I¡¯ve always thought that I would marry Earth in the future, and even though Earth¡¯s first love was Sadiz, I thought he intended to marry me in the future, and I thought he liked me during our time at the Academy¡ but all of it, from the beginning¡¡±
And by looking at this face, I knew the answer to the question I asked Tre¡¯ainar earlier.
I mean, that¡¯s what it was.
Anyway¡
¡°I¡¯ve always¡ liked Sadiz.¡±
¡°¡¡ is that¡¡ so¡ that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Erm, ever since I was a kid¡¡ up to the way things ended in the Imperial Match and hit my father¡¡ and ran away from the Imperial City¡¡±
¡°Eh, I, see¡¡±
¡°I¡ the thing with you¡ and Rebal¡ so¡¡±
¡°A¡ about that~¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m happy and proud of Rebal¡¯s feelings, but¡ I didn¡¯t consider the option in the first ce. I¡¯m really sorry for Rebal, but I¡¯ve always thought only about marrying you.¡±
This thorn on my side.
This rigid princess, who always felt like she stood apart from all the heaven, I¡¯ve never seen this woman with such a weak expression, not since we were kids.
¡°Fu¡ fu¡ ha, I don¡¯t know¡ what to say¡¡±
¡°Phianse?¡±
¡°I was thinking at the time¡ that¡ if I won, I would dere to the whole empire that I would marry you¡ and if by any chance you should win, you would propose to me¡ I thought Rebal and Fu would be the challenge, but in any case, once that tournament was over, we would¡ and then¡¡±
¡°¡¡ why?¡±
During my academy days, I grit my teeth to beat her again and again¡ endure the humiliation¡ make my own efforts¡ but I never won¡ it was like an absolute wall that always stood in front of my path.
¡°So?¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°You ran away from the Imperial City¡ in thest few months, you met that Shinobu and¡ you met that demon called Kron ¡ no¡.. that woman, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ yeah.¡±
¡°After you were kidnapped by Jamdi¡¯el, I spent time with Shinobu, but she rarely told me about you ¡¡ saying that it was just a memory between the two of you, but¡ anyway, she said she was in love with you. I thought Earth was in love with me, and that Shinobu was just a crazy delusional woman.¡±
¡°Ah~¡ that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s funny. The delusional woman was me¡ you think so, don¡¯t you?¡±
This genius¡ child prodigy¡ monster like this¡ had a smile on her lips, but she¡¯s totally powerless.
So feeble.
¡°So¡ do you like either of those two¡¡ or both of them?¡±
¡°¡¡ I still don¡¯t know.¡±
Shinobu and Kron.
Ah, damn. I never thought I¡¯d be having this kind of cozy banter with the princess¡ on top of that¡¡ with that kind of look on her face¡
¡°But I¡¯m sure I don¡¯t not like them¡¡±
¡°So¡ what you mean is¡¡ you are conscious of them, as women?¡±
¡°¡¡ well¡¡ wh¡±
¡°So, what about me¡ other than as a childhood friend¡ have you ever been conscious of me as a woman?¡±
But I can¡¯t afford to mess around here.
¡°I¡¯m not going to lie to you here, Phianse. I never ¡¡ thought of you as an object of interest in any way.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Misunderstanding upon misunderstanding,pletely made things messed up and bothersome for both of us.
I think it¡¯s time to make everything clear.
¡°Haha¡ why couldn¡¯t I say¡ just one word¡ I couldn¡¯t say that I loved you¡ if so¡¡ why did I take it for granted that we were in love¡¡±
¡°Phianse¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know anything about your feelings¡ I mean¡ how ridiculous¡¡±
Even if I hurt the princess¡ Phianse¡ I mean, I can¡¯t hurt her anymore, and there¡¯s nothing I can do to mend things or fake it now.
¡°You weren¡¯t conscious of me because¡ you only had eyes on Sadiz?¡±
¡°¡¡ yeah¡¡±
¡°And were you attracted to those two women just because you cooled off to Sadiz?¡±
¡°¡¡ that¡¯s not true.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Phianse, but when I was in the Imperial City, I was only looking at Sadiz. But the reason I wanted to face the two of them¡ wasn¡¯t because my feelings for Sadiz had cooled down or anything like that.¡±
In fact, it¡¯s not even that I don¡¯t like Sadiz anymore.
¡°What? Then¡ what attracted you to those two!? Their faces!? Is it because they¡¯re wearing white panties!? Is it because you¡¯re now interested in more than just busty women?! Is it because they let you do e, e, erotic things?!¡±
The Princess enthusiastically said ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡± to my words, but¡ somehow, what does this person think of me.
¡°No. I mean, it¡¯s just that, those two¡ they didn¡¯t know who I was¡ maybe that¡¯s why¡ it was new to me, so¡¡±
¡°What does¡ that mean?¡±
¡°You heard what Paripi said. When I was in the Imperial City¡ what was bothering me¡¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
And it seemed that Phianse finally figured it out.
She stiffened with a look of surprise.
Yes, those two¡
¡°Because they saw me¡ not as the Son of the Hero¡ but as Earth Lagann¡ they acknowledged Earth Lagann¡ and said they liked me.¡±
It wasn¡¯t just those two, but also the kind-hearted Ogre best friend, the meddlesome Yankee, and the people of that secluded nation.
But my words made the princess furious¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°No way, even I didn¡¯t see you¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t even look at me!¡±
¡°Wh¡ at?¡±
¡°Are you still the Son of the Hero? You¡¯re the Son of the Hero, but all you¡¯ve ever done is disappoint your hero parents¡ that was it, wasn¡¯t it? Ever since I was a kid, ever since I was in the academy! All the time! That¡¯s why I¡¡±
I found myself yelling in anger.
¡°Y, you¡¯re one to talk, until I say otherwise its always princess princess princess princess, I had to tell you to call me by name¡ but you find faults in people other than yourself!¡±
¡°¡¡ ha¡ haaa~~~?¡±
¡°It¡¯s been that way since we entered the Academy! You don¡¯t refer to me by my name even though we¡¯ve always been good friends¡ you called me princess, didn¡¯t you? How much do you think that hurt me!¡±
¡°B, because, you¡¯re the princess! Unlike when I was a little kid, I can¡¯t do that kind of thing anymore¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous! You can go on and on about being called the Son of the hero yet you call me a princess, and have the gall to say all that?!¡±
Before I knew it, the princess, with an angry face, almost headlong to me, stuck out her face and shouted.
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous¡ is this reality? Paripi said as much as he wanted to say¡ even Coman¡ and now this? What the hell! What has my life been about so far! Don¡¯t be ridiculous!¡±
¡°Phianse¡¡±
And the princess also vented her pent-up anger.
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous! You¡¯ve done nothing but insinuate to me! In the end, you just want a convenient woman who can pamper you!¡±
¡°Who the hell are you to say that! I mean, when have I ever made you think I was interested in you! Besides, I don¡¯t think those two are convenient!¡±
¡°I was intentionally tough on you! I suppressed my desire to be flirtatious with you and wanted you to mature, and be a better man, a man who is more worthy of me!¡±
¡°Who asked for that and when? A man worthy of you? Who do you think you are? Don¡¯t tter yourself!¡±
Oh, and somehow before we knew it, we were shamefully arguing with each other, cursing at each other, so aggressively that it seemed like we would brawl with each other.
¡°It can¡¯t be helped! Even if you weren¡¯t the hero¡¯s child, you were weaker than me! You couldn¡¯t win even once!¡±
¡°D, do say that!¡±
¡°And from there, you were always frustrated because of your inferiorityplex with me, Rebal, and Fu, and you started to whine, twist and demean yourself¡ something had changed since we were kids and it felt pathetic! I just wanted you to remember the old days when you used to pull us!¡±
¡°This¡ what¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! That¡¯s why I thought that the world would not easily acknowledge a man who was weaker than me, who was both a princess and a woman, as my fianc¨¦¡ that¡¯s why I was so strict with you! If you had been as strong as you were in the Graduation Match from the beginning, I wouldn¡¯t have been so hard on you and I wouldn¡¯t have nagged you so much! I would have let you do whatever you wanted in the costume from the ¡®Sexy NyanNyan Collection: Naughty Master Scratch Me¡¯ book you had hidden! I would let you do it! I rubbed tits as much as you wanted without asking Sadiz for a reward!¡±
¡°Why did you have that book!? Th, that book was disposed of by Sadiz ¡ I mean, I didn¡¯t want it!¡±
¡°Yeah, I know you didn¡¯t! You didn¡¯t seem to be looking at me!¡±
¡°Yeah?¡±
¡°What was it, what the hell was I to you?!¡±
In a way, it was the first time we had ever quarreled so badly with each other.
¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t notice anything about your feelings¡ just pushing only my own feelings onto you¡ I misunderstood¡ spun around in ce¡ unconsciously hurting you¡ made you suffer¡¡ I already know that! I get it¡ but¡¡ but¡¡ let me say a few words¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Phianse¡¡±
¡°My whole life¡ from the moment I met you¡ I¡¯ve only thought about you¡ I¡¯m not even allowed ¡¡ to say that¡ a little bit¡ you hate me¡ I¡¯m that sinful¡ right?¡±
And gradually, we couldn¡¯t even understand what we were saying to each other, but me and Phianse both started breathing on each other¡¯s shoulders¡
¡°Ha, ha, ha¡e on¡¡ already¡¡ what are we doing¡ we¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s true¡ even though we¡¯re exhausted from the battle with the Six Supremacy¡¡±
¡°Yeah¡ I¡¯m tired too¡ even though I was of no use in the battle¡¡±
Before I knew it, we were both sitting on the clouds, heads hung down in disappointment.
But¡¡
¡°It¡¯s just, Earth¡ I was sure you¡ wanted to be the Son of a Hero¡ but¡¡ I didn¡¯t fall in love with you because you were the Son of a Hero¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Phian¡ se¡¡±
¡°It would be a meaningless excuse if it didn¡¯t get across¡ but¡¡ still¡¡±
¡°Phi,eh!? Oh¡¡±
¡°Hig¡ Gusu¡ Earth¡¡ I¡ until Paripi said all that¡ and now¡¡ I didn¡¯t think I was such an ugly woman¡¡ when I first cursed so much with you¡¡±
Finally,rge tears fell from the princess¡¯ eyes, and the princess sat down and put her hands on herp¡
¡°Earth¡ higg¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°I was only thinking of what was¡. most convenient for me¡¡±
Aah¡¡ already¡¡ really today¡ what a day.
I feel so pathetic and guilty.
Chapter 228: Start from Scratch
Chapter 228 ¨C Start from Scratch
¡°Phian¡ se¡¡±
¡°Really¡ truly¡ guh¡ I, I¡¯m so¡ sorry¡¡±
He had known Phianse for more than a decade, but for the first time, she apologized.
¡°S, stop¡why¡ are you like that¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m so, sorry¡ Earth¡¡ uh¡¡±
¡°Eh, me too!¡±
That¡¯s why that single ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± resonated so heavily with me.
¡°¡¡ Me too¡¡±
My mouth was naturally moving too.
I was sorry, too.
But what was I sorry for?
What am I trying to apologize for?
For not noticing Phianse¡¯s feelings?
For not living up to her expectations?
For making her cry?
I can¡¯t figure out what I need to apologize for. But when I look at Phianse now, was it all my fault, and she¡¯s just a poor victim?
I don¡¯t think so.
And the answer came naturally.
¡°I¡ maybe I was only thinking about myself¡¡±
That¡¯s what I thought.
If Phianse was acting with everything in mind for her own convenience, then I was only thinking about myself, and I was covering my ears thinking that all the voices around me were irritating noise.
¡°That¡¯s why¡ I was also¡ wrong¡ I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡±
I¡¯ve apologized to Phianse several times before.
But that apology¡
¨D¨D As you are now, won¡¯t you be a disappointment to your father, the hero, Earth?
¨D¨D I, Ick, the dignity, princess¡
It was a frivolous thing, nothing heartfelt about it.
So, in that sense, it might have been my first time too.
¡°No, I¡¯m the one¡¡±
¡°No, no, I¡ certainly responded to you with condescending sarcasm¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s because I was nagging you without knowing how you feel¡¡±
¡°Well, if it was just how you felt about me¡ I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t notice anything about it¡ that I couldn¡¯t live up to your expectations¡¡±
¡°D, don¡¯t say that! Me and everyone just forced it on you!¡±
I apologize to Phianse because I felt I was at fault.
That said, my apology made Phianse flustered.
¡°Besides, I didn¡¯t just do things that were convenient for me¡ um¡¡ I also said various things to keep the girls in ss from falling in love with you¡ I really did something awful! I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°No, no, that¡¯s ¡¡ not a big ¡¡ deal, huh?¡±
In response to my apology, Phianse was like, ¡°No, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s at fault,¡± and I was like, ¡°No, I am too,¡± and we apologized again, only this time I couldn¡¯t help but respond.
¡°No¡. no, no¡¡±
¡°Earth?¡±
¡°It¡¯s¡ certainly¡¡ that¡¯s right¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
I remembered. Speaking of which, it was like that every single time.
¡°No, look¡ that¡¯s what people around me were always like, ¡®Are you still the son of a hero?¡¯. But sometimes you would be there? The girls in ss would¡¡±
So, for example¡
¨D¨DBut¡ the princess is really impressive, but¡¡ Earth is pretty strong, too.
¨D¨DYes, he¡¯s a little withdrawn, but looks a bit wild and cool¡.
¨D¨DHis household is wealthy, too¡
The girls in ss reacted with a pulse. They were blushing and praising me.
Even though I was only interested in Sadiz, I was honestly happy and embarrassed.
I couldn¡¯t beat the princess, but I was second in my grade, which means I¡¯m an honor student in my ss.
On top of that, I have a good family background, so normally girls wouldn¡¯t leave them alone.
But¡
¨D¨DThere seems to be a little misunderstanding. Certainly, he is talented, his face may not be bad, and hees from a wealthy family. But, he also has a twisted side too. His character is considerably demonic, and tends to be disobedient at times. Also, more than anything, when I was a child, he rudely peeked at my underwear, and he still hides smutty books in his room. The other day, I heard from his maid that he had hidden a double-bottomed drawer and even set up a magic trap to hide them. No, that isn¡¯t good for the boys of his age, but he¡¯s hiding something obscene. His appearance itself isn¡¯t bad, but the eyes are pretty bad, no, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s wild and masculine, it¡¯s just bad. His family is also wealthy, and his parents are two respectable heroes. However, his upbringing is too lenient, and he was spoiled growing up. You don¡¯t want that, do you? No, but it¡¯s not that he¡¯s not working hard. He studies and trains very hard just so he can beat me. While he seems to not care about losing, I have witnessed his figure working hard in shadows without anyone noticing, still, th-that is, yes. He has no delicacy towards girls. Yes, that¡¯s why you should definitely stop aiming for him.
She talked so fast and blurted out a lot of bad things about me to the girls.
And when the girls heard that, they were smiling¡
¨D¨DUfufufu, oh we understand, princess.
¨D¨DAmong us¡ No, I don¡¯t think any girl in the Imperial city is aiming to be Earth¡¯s girlfriend.
¨D¨DRight~?
And that being said, I didn¡¯t have many sweet and sour memories of the Academy.
¡°That¡¯s right, no matter how you think about it, that¡¯s terrible! No one would ept me¡ and in the midst of all that twisting and turning, you ragged on me in a rage to all the girls who might have maybe liked me!¡±
¡°Ah, uh, uh, that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°Yeah! I¡¯m getting pissed off all over again just remembering that! If I could have even one good memory at the Academy, maybe something would have changed!¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s because I¡¯m d when Earth is praised, but¡ when Earth bes popr, or when a girl other than me was wooing Earth¡ I, I didn¡¯t like it¡¡±
¡°Nuwha, h, how selfish! Even with such a despondent expression, that is terrible!¡±
¡°Uh, uh, uh, I, I¡¯m really sorry. It, it¡¯s not something that can be forgiven by apologizing, but¡ really the worst thing you can do as a person¡ huh? But didn¡¯t you just say that you only had eyes for Sadiz at the time?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s that! This is this!¡±
¡°Nuwha?! What is that nonsense way of thinking! In other words, you want to get along with other girls even though you have someone you love, or something like that!¡±
¡°I won¡¯t go that far, but no, but who knows what would happen¡¡±
¡°Yoooouuu, you didn¡¯t notice my feelings in the slightest! No, it¡¯s my fault for not telling you, but¡ But! I¡¯m awful, but is that even an option?!¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m only human! Even if they¡¯re not my type, when a girl seeks your attention¡ it feels good! Even though they were making so much noise about Rebal and Fu, I¡¯m the only one left out!¡±
¡°Wha, what is that! It¡¯s a bit pathetic!¡±
Somehow, after emotionally cursing at each other a while ago, she apologized for her shenanigans¡ then again, we argued.
But I wonder why¡
¡°Ge, generally speaking, it seems you¡¯re a perv to begin with, even if you¡¯re not! And the genre of books you had was dangerous! [The Magic School Panties Collection], [I Made a Warrior Candidate Say ¡®Kuh, Kill Me¡¯], or [Seduced at the Graduation Ceremony, The Magical Mirror Carriage], and so on, that depicted students in uniforms like ours in an obscene manner!¡±
¡°Ouna gave those to me as a token of friendship after transferring schools¡ until then we never interacted?! I¡¯m telling you, I didn¡¯t choose to collect any of them!¡±
¡°But you must have read them! Because the books had creases!¡±
¡°I receive it, I¡¯ll look at it! Of course I read them!¡±
¡°Why are you saying that so arrogantly?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s what men do! I mean, who are you to talk when you stole erotica from someone¡¯s room without permission! What¡¯s the matter with you?!¡±
¡°What~!?¡±
¡°What?!¡±
The heavy atmosphere of before is gone¡
¡°¡±Fu~, fu~, fu~¡¡¡¡¡¡ puh¡¡±¡±
Even though we bared our teeth, red at each other and yelled at each other¡
¡°Pupu, really¡ already¡¡ hehe¡ really, Earth¡¡±
¡°Kuhaha¡ jeez, give me a break, Phianse is¡¡±
That? I wonder why.
We¡¡
¡°Fu¡ aha.¡±
¡°Kuhahahaha.¡±
We¡¯reughing.
¡°Fufu¡why¡ I¡ sooner¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Why couldn¡¯t I have exposed ¡¡ everything more like this¡ even my unseemly jealousy¡ I need you to see that ugly part as well¡ if you don¡¯t ept my true self, it wouldn¡¯t mean anything¡¡±
Phianse smiled and fell on her back on the clouds.
I sat down next to her andughed as I watched Phianse smile like a girl of her age.
¡°That¡¯s right¡ we¡¯ve been together for over a decade¡ there are things that you can¡¯t understand just by being together¡ after all, I didn¡¯t know what to put into words, I misunderstood things¡ whether it¡¯s a childhood friend¡¡ or a parent-child rtionship.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
¡°In that sense, Coman is the same.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh.¡±
Nodding at Phianse¡¯s words, a slightly somber air flowed through us.
And Phianse¡
¡°Earth¡ won¡¯t you go back to the Imperial City? No excuses, no exnation, no matter what¡¡±
¡°No excuses, no exnation, no matter what, because I have no regrets about my actions and the power I used, the power I acquired.¡±
¡°Come to think of it¡ that¡¯s right. About that¡ would you tell me?¡±
¡°Hmm¡ Hmm~¡¡±
Phianse¡¯s question turned to ¡®that moment¡¯.
That was when I used the Great Magic Spiral in the Imperial match.
But, was this a good time to say it? Phianseughed bitterly at my hesitation¡
¡°I see. Then, not now.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not going to ignore your feelings and ask you to talk about something difficult. Just let me know when you can talk.¡±
Phianse saw my hesitation and pulled away.
It was a bit surprising. In the first ce, she must have chased me to find out about it.
But apart from that¡
¡°By the way, Kron and Shinobu¡ do they know?¡±
¡°No. They don¡¯t.¡±
¡°I see, um¡ then¡¡±
She didn¡¯t ask about the truth. Instead, she was checking to see if there were others who knew the truth.
And Kron and Shinobu didn¡¯t know. At that moment, it seemed that Phianse clenched his fists slightly, but immediately peeked into my face¡
¡°So, does Sadiz know?¡±
¡°Yeah. I told Sadiz.¡±
¡°Nu, mu¡ uh, I see.¡±
I nodded sharply at the question.
Phianse pouted a little, but quickly exhaled andughed again.
¡°Earth, I¡¯m weaker than Sadiz right now.¡±
¡°Well, it can¡¯t be helped. Rebal and Fu are still no match for Sadiz.¡±
¡°Yeah, and¡ I¡ I¡¯ve never lost to you, but now I don¡¯t feel like I can beat you. And now I feel like you¡¯re stronger than Sadiz¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know about that. I¡¯ve never fought Sadiz in a fight, and I¡¯m sure we have some chemistry¡¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s good¡ that¡¯s how it is.¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°That¡¯s just how much difference there is between you and me.¡±
I mean, I don¡¯t have to fight Sadiz like I did with Paripi and Jamdi¡¯el.
But that¡¯s not what the princess was trying to say¡
¡°I am still inexperienced. I still have to improve myself. There are things I need to do before dering that I will bring you back or marry you, or anything like that. I, too, know only a small world, and I didn¡¯t realize that I was a frog in a well.¡±
¡°Phianse¡¡±
In a strong, determined tone, Phianse told me. Then she stood up and stared at the end of the endless sky¡
¡°It¡¯s time to start from scratch. I won¡¯t lose to you, who wants to go out into the world and live freely¡as a princess, as a warrior, as a woman¡ I¡ I will aim higher. Right now, from this moment.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
¡°Oh, so¡ you can do as you please. I can¡¯t catch you as I am now.¡±
Without any hesitation, I nodded back at her straight eyes and smiled, which was refreshing.
And¡..
¡°Earth, I don¡¯t need a farewell hug right now. No kissing, no intercourse.¡±
¡°Hey, who would do that?!¡±
¡°Fufufufu, but¡ instead¡¡±
The princess held out her right hand to me¡
¡°Would you mind shaking hands with me?¡±
Farewell? Reunion? Friendship? Or an oath? It could mean a lot of things, but¡
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll do my best. You do your best too.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
At least today, we can go back to being childhood friends, and while feeling like we¡¯ve be true friends again, I shook the hand that was offered to me.
Author¡¯s Note
I really appreciate your kindness. I didn¡¯t update yesterday because it was Friday the 13th and it was bad luck.
With the feedback I¡¯ve received over the past few days, I¡¯m d that we¡¯ve finally gotten the opinion of the Princess me sh faction. Until now, I had not been able to bring Princess Ferguson to the forefront, but in fact, with the default setting that I can say now, Princess Phan Feihong was really going to be the first heroine.
As I mentioned at some point before, the story itself was originally nned to end with the first arc. As an initial setting flow that can be said now, in the middle of the Imperial Match, invaders from outer space appeared and the father defended his son and the people, saying, ¡°I will protect my family even if I die¡± and was taken away as it is. Then, the awakened son and his friends said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll save you!¡± and Dad was like ¡°You¡¯ve be so strong¡±, and with the spiral powered up by the father¡¯s magic power¡ no, he defeated the enemy with a Super Magic Spiral and somehow won. What happened to Earth, who realized the princess¡¯s feelings in the middle of the battle? That was the initial setting for this story.
However, the story received an unexpectedly strong response and was published in book form, so we were forced to change the schedule because we could no longer finish the story.
So I was frustrated that I had changed my ns and was only able to treat Princess Fingerre Bombs unfavorably when she was actually a candidate for the first heroine. However, for better or worse, I was finally able to spotlight her, and now I am filled with the feeling that ¡°I am finally ready to start again¡±.
Please don¡¯t hate me, from now on¡ please keep an eye on Princess Phianse from now on!!
And today, the second volume of the book is finally on sale. At the timing of the release of the second volume, I feel ¡°Oh¡± that the main story has arrived at the current situation in this way.
By the way, the book includes¡ Shinobu¡¯s belly button¡ Bro with his hat off¡ ohohoho.
If we make it to Volume 3, we will be able to introduce the critically acimed ¡°Goddess¡±, but to be honest, at the moment it is undecided. This is a world of meritpetition, so I hope it will continue.
Chapter 229: New Goal
Chapter 229 ¨C New Goal
¡°Earth¡ Phianse¡¡±
¡°Aha! Your talk¡ did you do it right?¡±
As the two of us returned from the conversation, Rebal and Fu looked surprised.
That¡¯s right. Phianse had been in a state of confusion for a while now, and most of all, the awkward atmosphere that should have existed between us was gone.
¡°Rebal, Fu¡ I¡¯m fine now. We¡¯re done talking.¡±
¡°Princess!¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°Ah! Earth!¡±
Phianse replied, and Fu instantly jumped at me with a big smile on his face.
¡°Earth! Good¡ I¡¯m d to hear that.¡±
¡°Wait, my neck, urgh so annoying!¡±
¡°I¡¯m really sorry too¡ I¡¯m sorry¡ Earth, I had no idea you were struggling.¡±
¡°Ah, okay okay, I get it, You¡¯re going to cry and hug me, even though you¡¯re a man.¡±
¡°But I¡¯m d¡ you made up with the princess, right? I¡¯m d¡ really¡¡±
¡°Geez¡¡±
I thought he had be a little stronger during his study abroad, but this baby-faced bastard was still the same as ever.
For some reason, after this happened, I didn¡¯t care anymore, and I naturally sigh.
Meanwhile, Rebal calmly asked Phianse what was going on.
¡°So¡ the talk is over¡ so what happens now?¡±
¡°Um, I decided to start over. That¡¯s what I decided.¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°As we are¡ we don¡¯t have the power to bring Earth back¡ also¡¡ we¡¯re not strong enough to stand side by side as equals.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°You know that as well as I do, don¡¯t you? Rebal.¡±
Rebal was at a loss for words when Phianse answered with a refreshing expression without hesitation.
¡°Not yet¡ I mean¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Rebal, I¡¯ve been groping around without knowing what I was looking for, but¡ now I know, I¡¯m aware of it, that¡¯s what I took from all this.¡±
¡°So you¡ agree?¡±
¡°Mm-hmm.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Rebal seemed a little conflicted by Phianse¡¯s words.
He turned to face me and asked with a mysterious expression.
¡°Earth¡ are you sure we¡¯re done talking? What Paripi said¡ we cornered you and¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Rebal, didn¡¯t I say it? We¡¯re done talking about it. Phianse and I got it done. So it¡¯s enough.¡±
I¡¯ve had enough of that.
That¡¯s how it is to me Rebal¡
¡°Is that so¡ but¡¡ I have imposed my own expectations on you¡ did I apologize?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Even if it was a path you didn¡¯t want to take, an expectation you didn¡¯t want¡ even if it was our own selfish expectation¡ you and I were both born into such a family¡ more than anything else, that¡¯s what you were¡ to us.¡±
¡°¡¡ geez, you¡¯re a hard guy to please.¡±
It¡¯s like they¡¯re saying ¡°you¡¯re overly-optimistic¡±, aren¡¯t they?
Here, it seems that Phianse was different from Rebal.
But¡¡
¡°But¡ that¡¯s all¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s all? Is it?¡±
While saying that he didn¡¯t apologize for what Paripi pointed out, Rebal closed his eyes and bowed his head slightly¡
¡°I couldn¡¯t help you¡ that day¡ I couldn¡¯t back you up, I couldn¡¯t stop you¡ today¡¡ I couldn¡¯t do anything to help¡ talk about being your friend¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°Ha¡ haha¡¡±
It¡¯s not like they pushed me into a corner. They¡¯re sorry that they couldn¡¯t help.
Rebal¡¯s clumsy feelings came through as he bit his lips in frustration.
It¡¯s so like Rebal¡
¡°That¡¯s why, Earth.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯ll catch up with you someday, I promise.¡±
Rebal¡¯s words, as if he were aiming at me, are aplete change from the time before the Graduation Match.
I remember he was giving off an air of ¡°I¡¯m already too much stronger than you¡± back then.
And now he has me as his goal?
But¡¡
¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m not going to let you catch up with me. Because I¡¯m going even further.¡±
¡°How far are you nning to go? Not as a warrior¡ not as a hero¡where are you going?¡±
¡°Oh? That¡¯s just the way it is, going as far as it will take me!¡±
When I said that, Rebal was stunned, but his mouth loosened.
¡°Hmph¡ are you trying to be cool? That¡¯s not an answer, is it?¡±
¡°Aanh? I didn¡¯t think a showoff like you would say that.¡±
¡°Hehehehe¡ but¡¡ it¡¯s not bad.¡±
¡°Rebal?¡±
¡°Even if you don¡¯t know where you¡¯re going¡ you¡¯re still going farther and farther ahead of us¡ we¡¯ll chase after you like we¡¯re being pulled along¡ that¡¯s fine¡ the path is different, but¡ you¡¯re okay with that¡ Earth.¡±
Saying that, Rebal lightly tapped my shoulder.
At the time of the Imperial Match, he was angry at me for trying to choose apletely different path from the Hero, the Imperial Knight, and my father, but now that he sees me, it seemed I have convinced him that this is the right thing for me to do.
And¡..
¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re aiming for or who you¡¯re going to fight against, but¡ next time you are in a pinch again¡ I¡¯ll definitely help you this time.¡±
And it felt like a deration to himself.
Rebal himself must have felt a lot in this battle, being kicked away by the former legendary Six Supremacy and the strength of the rivals of the father he was aiming for.
Somehow, his eyes looked like he had made up his mind.
It¡¯s the same with Phianse.
¡°Oh, I see. Well, I¡¯m going to be strong enough to handle things on my own, but if there¡¯s ever a time like that, I¡¯ll rely on you.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
I lightly patted his shoulder too.
Come to think of it, it was the first time I¡¯ve had this sort of manly exchange with this guy.
Really, it¡¯s like I¡¯m seeing new sides to my childhood friends today.
¡°Come on! I want to be a part of this!¡±
¡°Nuoh!¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
At that moment, Fu, who was still clinging to my neck, reached out and put his hand on Rebal¡¯s shoulder.
¡°Yeah, get off me!¡±
¡°No! Come on, you guys, stick together like we used to~!¡±
¡°We¡¯ve never done that before!¡±
¡°Then let¡¯s do it now!¡±
¡°Fine~, annoying irritating unpleasant.¡±
¡°How mean!¡±
¡°Yeah, you should say you¡¯ll do your best, like Phianse and Rebal. You were beaten down by Paripi too, so you might want to¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
The moment I tried to shake off Fu, who unlike the other two couldn¡¯t read the air¡
¡°Obviously.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡?¡±
But still, as the child of the Seven Heroes, he has lived with pride in that.
He¡¯s just a smiling optimistic guy who¡¯s d everyone was able to reconcile.
¡°I definitely don¡¯t want to be left out¡ today¡¡ we got a glimpse of the world where Earth is now in¡ and the world our parents once fought¡ I¡¯ll never lose sight of that again.¡±
¡°¡¡ is that so?¡±
Well, this guy¡ these guys were saying this, and I guess they¡¯ll do their best now that they¡¯ve found a new goal.
I need to train with my master again so I don¡¯t let them catch up to me.
I need to be able to win with my own strength, not just by luck or Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s strategy like I did today.
¡°For the time being¡ thou mood was awkward till recent, how fare thee now?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Huh?¡±¡±¡±¡±
The prince, who had been watching us in silence the whole time, came out with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
¡°That¡¯s nice, thou all. pleasant.¡±
¡°Wh, what the heck, Prince¡¡±
¡°I have subordinates who fight alongside me¡ and cute little birds who adore me¡ but unlike thee¡ I had no friends orrades¡with whom to bicker with, to inspire each other, tough with, and ept each other for who we are¡¡ so I too¡ wanted them¡.¡±
The prince smiles dazzlingly, somewhat envious of us.
What is it? It doesn¡¯t seem like such a big deal, but¡
¡°Well, the one I want to acknowledge me most is ¡ my own kin, but¡¡±
Oh I see¡ that¡¯s right, he always lived with a lot of troublesome circumstances¡
¡°Anyway, I¡¯m much the same¡ I too shall start over. This Heavenly World itself¡ once again. I¡¯m truly sorry for the people of that country where Jamdi¡¯el was.¡±
¡°Oh, well, you can talk to Mr. Machio and the others over there. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to find a way to apologize and what you¡¯ll do from now on¡¡±
¡°Indeed, I¡¯ll do just that.¡±
It¡¯s not just Phianse, Rebal and Fu.
Like Kron earlier, the Prince seemed to havee to realize what he needed to do from now on and thinks that he had to work harder, and somehow everyone seemed to be refreshingly cohesive.
¡°Come along, I¡¯ve taken care of thyrades, I¡¯ve sealed Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes, for now¡ does all fare thee well?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
And while me and Phianse were talking, the rest of the post-processing procedures seemed to be done.
Then there¡¯s nothing more to do in this country.
To be honest, even though I arrived at a world that was said to be legend and stepped foot on it, I couldn¡¯t even take my time looking around, but this country is not in that situation now, and before it bes troublesome ¡
¡°All right, then, let¡¯s go¡¡±
Let¡¯s go back. To the Surface. And next for me and Tre¡¯ainar is¨D¨D¨D¨D
Author¡¯s Note
Something I¡¯ve been thinking abouttely.
I received various opinions, the Kron faction, the Shinobu faction, the Sadiz faction, the Flora faction¡ oh, I¡¯m sorry. Flora is no good. Flora is everyone¡¯s waifu. By the way, I¡¯m a person who really cherishes childhood friends, so don¡¯t get me wrong. I like childhood friends. Sometimes when you have to make a choice, you have to make a difficult decision. That aside, it¡¯s rare to see a princess with so many names. How much will it increase? By the way, the name I received from a reader that caught my eye was Princess Fraser, who immediately gave me a counter. For a moment, I imagined that Kim Ping was wearing a dress. Rumor has it that he¡¯s the inspiration for H©–ro ©–de©–¡¯s Tod©–ki.
Well, for the time being, I was relieved to hear everyone¡¯s thoughts on these four.
The Tre¡¯ainar faction is gone¡ I see. No, it¡¯s fine, but I stupidly thought that the master, who hasn¡¯t been involved in thest few episodes, seems to be feeling a little lonelytely.
Chapter 230: Departure Pegasus
Chapter 230 ¨C Departure Pegasus
¡°¡±¡±¡±Whaaaat, the Goddess and the High Priestess are leaving the country.¡±¡±¡±¡±
Kron and Jamdi¡¯el will not return to the Cacretale. No, the moment I told everyone about the fact that they couldn¡¯t return, there was a cry of astonishment.
Naturally. Most of the people here are like disciples of Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°No way, how could that be?! We promised everyone that we would all go home together, right?¡±
¡°Really! The battle is over¡ besides, without the two of you, what would we do from now on¡¡±
This was especially true for Karui and Elder Sis Tsukshi, who have spent time together like family.
They¡¯re already in tears and clinging to each other.
¡°Thank you, everyone. For thinking so much of us¡¡±
¡°Goddess!¡±
¡°But this is something we have already decided. We can no longer return to Cacretale.¡±
¡°I, I don¡¯t understand why! By any chance, are you worried about what happened this time!? I doubt any of us hold a grudge against you two!¡±
¡°Tsukshi¡¡±
¡°Or are you worried about something simr happening again? We¡¯ll be alright~! No matter how many times we are¡¡±
¡°That won¡¯t do.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Elder Sis Tsukshi who desperately clung, not wanting to part.
In the midst of all this, Mr. Machio remained calm.
¡°If Earth Lagann hadn¡¯t been here today, we would have lost¡ we would have all been killed.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio!?¡±
¡°And Earth, you will not marry the goddess and live forever in Cacretale¡ will you? Then, if something simr happens again¡ above all, the master¡¯s power is also sealed¡ and that¡¯s the way we find ourselves now¡ I guess that¡¯s what it is.¡±
Without me, we wouldn¡¯t have won today¡ I mean¡ let¡¯s not mention how things might not have been like this if I hadn¡¯t fought and exhausted Jamdi¡¯el in the first ce¡
¡°I understood after this fight, we¡¯re weak. We¡¯re powerless. Tsukshi, Karui, everyone. If you take a vow to protect someone¡ if you don¡¯t have enough strength, it wouldn¡¯t make any sense.¡±
Today has be a new day of determination for Kron, Phianse, Rebal, Fu, the Prince, and even Mr. Machio.
The devastating defeat in the battle against Paripi instilled a further change in the mindset of Mr. Machio, who normally boasts of superhuman-level strength, and yet worked so hard on a regr basis that no one could keep up.
Hearing Mr. Machio¡¯s words, everyone who had onlyined that Kron and the others would not return to the Cacretale also looked at each other with aplicated look on their faces.
¡°We were¡weak¡certainly¡I guess so.¡±
¡°Me too¡ I was just running away in the end¡¡±
¡°If you put it that way¡. we¡¯re all the same.¡±
¡°My crotch too¡¡±
¡°I was taken out in an instant¡¡±
¡°Shit¡. when I get back, I¡¯ll triple my strength training.¡±
¡°I¡¯m throwing 10,000 straight fist thrusts.¡±
We were weak. It seemed that everyone understood that as it sunk in.
And Mr. Machio, on behalf of everyone¡
¡°Master. Even in your absence, we will not neglect our training. So that next time the two of you can be protected without any worries¡ we will be stronger.¡±
¡°Machio¡¡±
¡°So¡ at that time, once again¡ we want you to live with us. I will definitely restore Cacretale as well.¡±
Mr. Machio¡¯s words made me and Phianse feel like we couldn¡¯t say anything.
¡°High Priestess, please!¡±
¡°We will be stronger!¡±
¡°Next time, I promise!¡±
¡°Master!¡±
¡°Goddess!¡±
From now on, Cacretale will face interference from outside parties, like the Union.
Because my father was already involved, and it was revealed that Jamdi¡¯el was living in that country.
Above all, ording to Paripi, outside support is indispensable for restoring the current Cacretale.
If that is the case, will the daye when Jamdi¡¯el, the world¡¯s highest bounty, will be able to live proudly in Cacretale again¡¡¡
¡°Fu, well¡ everyone¡ remain diligent.¡±
¡°Everyone, do your best!¡±
I¡¯m sure Jamdi¡¯el knows that, but she doesn¡¯t say anything.
There may have been various schemes behind the scenes, or it may have been a ce or rtionship that she was just trying to take advantage of, but Jamdi¡¯el also has a heart.
They were disciples who she spent more than 10 years with, and moreover, raised with great care.
She seemed to have some feelings for them, and only offered words of encouragement.
¡°¡±¡±¡±Osu!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Thest sound was spirited voices and bows that sent vibrations through the air.
¡°Does that mean Earth will be gone too?¡±
¡°Seriously, I haven¡¯t had a crotch match with you yet!¡±
¡°I wanted that ass!?¡±
¡°I hear that you can also wield a sword. I would like to have a match with my Seven Star Sword¡¡±
¡°Where are you going, aye?¡±
¡°Uh~, are you for real, Big Brother!?¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
And I¡¯m also saying goodbye here, so Elder Sis Tsukshi, Karui and the other stubborn people I¡¯ve spent thest few months with all cling to me in unison.
¡°Oh~, well, I¡¯lle to hang out once in a while¡ once things calm down.¡±
¡°Absolutely!¡±
¡°Absolutely!¡±
For the time being, unlike Jamdi¡¯el, I¡¯ll at least be able toe back and visit again.
But only if the eyes of father and the Union be less strict¡
¡°Earth, thank you for your help.¡±
¡°Mr. Machio.¡±
¡°I¡¯m d you were here. I¡¯ll continue to train myself.¡±
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m grateful, too. Because the battle with Mr. Machio pushed me to the next stage.¡±
I high-fived Mr. Machio, Pachin, and exchanged goodbyes with everyone I met in the Cacretale¡
¡°Now then, it¡¯s time to send thee on thy way.¡±
The prince pped his hands to signal our departure.
¡°Hmm? Come to think of it, we¡¯re all going to get on the fishing boat¡ ah¡ but Hilua¡¯s going to take Kron and Jamdi¡¯el on board, and I¡¡±
¡°Oh, about that, the ship thou came on seems to have been damaged quite a bit, soter we¡¯ll repair it here and give it back.¡±
¡°Eh, ah, is that so? But then how do we¡ will you guys carry us down?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, if it¡¯s a dozen or so¡e on, little birds! Come on!¡±
Even if we say we will go back, we will not be able to go back in the same way as we came, so I thought that the seraphs would carry us one by one, but it was a little different.
¡°Ooooh, a pegasus¡ eh, I¡¯ve only seen one in picture books¡ it really exists¡¡±
¡°Hey! Seriously!¡±
¡°Wow, that¡¯s amazing!¡±
The moment the prince pped his hands, dozens of war maidens astride white winged horses¡¡ in other words, pegasi, appeared.
Seeing the beautiful furry Pegasus, the princess group got excited with a twinkle in their eyes.
¡°One by one, get behind them! I¡¯ll send thee home with the heavenly steeds, the pride of the Heavens, controlled by my cute little birds.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Oooooooooh!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
And, of course, the men were thrilled to ride on such a Pegasus¡
¡°Oh, seriously! Behind that cute angel?¡±
¡°Ku~, I¡¯ll just get in the middle of the action¡¡±
¡°The Seven stars are buzzing¡ is now the time to meet the woman of destiny under the guidance of the stars?¡±
Well, maybe it¡¯s simply because they can sit closely behind the cute seraphs¡ these guys¡
¡°Prince¡ art thou sure of this? Even though His Majesty hasn¡¯t regained consciousness yet, such a thing¡ and even about Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°Indeed, I shall assume all responsibility. I¡¯ll manage it all, whatever my father says. So, please lend me thy strength.¡±
¡°¡ ah, I¡ if it¡¯s for the sake of the prince¡ I¡¯ll go to any lengths, do anything¡¡±
At some point, the seraphs turned pale and their expressions were disgusted by the atmosphere of these bastards.
Well, unlike the prince, these guys didn¡¯t watch the battle in the pce, so even if they were told that we were actually the benefactors who saved the Heavenly World, they wouldn¡¯t be easily convinced, so they may not want to be in close contact with such nasty men, even if it¡¯s on the prince¡¯s order.
¡°Oh, gentlemen, heed my words. Even if I am indebted to thee, should thou do something obscene to my cute little birds, they may just drop thee into the sea. Do keep that in mind¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Yes¡¡±¡±¡±¡±
Well, at any rate, the prince probably gave them a non-threatening warning, so the bastards should be fine, but they still can¡¯t hide the look of joy on their faces.
And it was the same with the princess group who genuinely saw the Pegasi.
¡°Ooooh, m, me too¡ I want a Pegasus¡ hoh¡ hmm, I wonder if I could bring one back to the Imperial City¡¡±
¡°Certainly, this would make shopping a lot easier, and it would be easy to get across mountains and seas when Little man is in a pinch.¡±
And, in the midst of all that, there was also someone unexpected¡
¡ºHoh~, Pegasus¡ I never paid much attention to them during the battle, but¡ Hmm¡¡ I thought their legs would be weak as they mainly moved with their wings, but¡ they are stable while carrying extra passengers as well¡ Hohoho¡¡»
It was Tre¡¯ainar beside me.
He watched the flock of Pegasi roaming in front of him with great interest.
¡¸What, Tre¡¯ainar. You are interested in the Pegasus too?¡¹
¡ºWell, I have not seen many before. But in terms of interest, tis more about horses in general than the Pegasus itself.¡»
¡¸Huh? Horse? What the hell are you¡ did you ride a horse too? Eh? You? What¡¯s the point¡¡ of riding a horse?¡¹
Again, I sleekly learned about the unexpected side of Tre¡¯ainar.
I mean, he could fly to any ce, or done something like warp to anywhere in an instant, so he wouldn¡¯t need to ride a horse or anything¡
¡ºI rode not for transportation. I was merely riding as a hobby.¡»
¡¸Hobby?¡¹
¡ºUh huh. I used to hide my identity and participate in horse races on the Surface and in the Demon Realm, with my beloved horses.¡»
¡¸¡¡ What!? Ah, you¡ horse racing!?¡¹
¡ºHeh, do not be so surprised, I was once known as the world¡¯s best leading jockey despite being unidentified, and won many major prize races, including the Demon Realm Derby.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar crossed his arms and recounted tales of his valor with a triumphant look¡ no¡.. I¡¯m speechless¡
¡ºI miss¡ my favorite horse Kangkoo Bryan, who won me the Triple Crown in the Demon Derby¡ and Fuka Impact¡ they were all fine steeds¡¡»
¡¸I, is that so¡¡¹
¡ºSpeaking of which, I won some of the most prestigious prize in the Surface World, such as the ¡®Starting Gate Award¡¯, ¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡»
And just when Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes began to sparkle as he gradually became more and more passionate about the old days.
¡°Come on, boy. Art thou heading to a different ce than everyone else? Like the goddess and Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°Eh? Oh, yeah¡but only halfway.¡±
Before I knew it, everyone was already getting ready for a double ride on the Pegasus, and I seemed to be the only one left, the prince smiled brightly¡
¡°Get on, boy.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll send thee to wherever thou will go.¡±
I¡¯ll keep it a secret for the rest of my life that I got an unintentional shock when he said something that made me nervous because he was so beautiful even though he was a man.
It¡¯s going to be extraplicated.
¡°Oh, behind you¡?¡±
¡°Do thou hate it? Then would thou sit in front of me? Between my arms¡ Right? I¡¯ll hold on tight so thou don¡¯t fall off.¡±
¡°Hey, am I a kid?! Don¡¯t say creepy things!¡±
¡°Hahaha, so shy ¡ even though he is so strong¡ pretty cute, isn¡¯t he? I can see why all those charming flowers are drawn to thee.¡±
¡°Oh, huh?¡±
¡°See here, don¡¯t be shy, put your arms around my waist, hold on tight ?.¡±
ncing at people, smiling and teasing¡ or rather, this guy really is too good-looking¡ is he really a man?
¡ºHmm,e to think of it, nobody knew about me in that race, so the payout ratio was stupendous¡ Hehehehe, the expressions on the faces of those who were stunned when the favorites were defeated and their tickets were torn into pieces. They were so pitiful.¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar? I¡¯m sorry, I lost my attention halfway through.
Chapter 231: The Interruption
Chapter 231 ¨C The Interruption
¡°Earth, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll meet us again at the top!¡±
¡°See you!¡±
¡°Stay healthy, Little man! Pleasee back anytime.¡±
¡°Earth, take care of yourself.¡±
¡°Master, please be well.¡±
¡°Goddess, High Priestess, and Big Brother will definitelye again!¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure they will!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Uooooooohh!!!!!!!Masteeeeeeeeeeer, Goddeeeeeeeeeeees, Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!Um, Hiluaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
The Seraphs and everyone riding with them on Pegasi flew from the clouds as they were waving at us.
There were some tears. But there were smiles and a refreshing feeling.
A lot happened today, it was a tough time mentally and physically, but I smiled and waved back.
¡°Little man¡ I¡¯ll talk to the Master and Madam myself¡ I¡¯m not going to chase you anymore¡ but¡¡ but I ask you to trust me.¡±
¡°Um, I will also talk to them. But I¡¯m not saying that this is thest farewell.¡±
Come to think of it, I ran away from the Imperial City and had many encounters, but this may be the first time that I was able to part with a smile on my face.
Sadiz, Phianse, everyone else¡
¡°Honey, we¡¯ll definitely meet again?¡Ufufufu¡ Kron, my rival, doesn¡¯t intend to travel or live with Honey¡ Phianse-hime is already going home¡ Sadiz-san wishes the best for her Botchama¡ Ufu, ufufufufufufufufu¡ to think that the rivals around Honey would disappear by themselves without any effort on my part¡ this is it! All that¡¯s left, find the proper timing and from the shadows again¡ ufufufufufu, with this, it¡¯ll be my win!¡±
Somehow, even though Shinobu was waving her hand, she had a terrifying grin on her face¡ well¡¡ that¡¯s fine.
¡°Everyone, take care?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s all y again!¡±
Kron and Hilua smiled and waved at everyone.
¡°¡¡ Hmph¡¡±
And Jamdi¡¯el crossed her arms and remained silent.
Both eyes were normal eyes, her Heraldic Eyes will no longer open¡ I expect¡¡.
¡°Everyone¡ they are already so far away¡¡±
¡°Kron¡¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡¡±
Kron muttered sadly as she watched everyone on Pegasi who had already moved far away to the point where they looked like peas.
But she quickly clenched her fists and looked up with eager eyes.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go, Jamdi¡¯el, Hilly. Earth is with us halfway, right?¡±
¡°Huh, Lady Kron¡ is that¡¡ right?¡±
¡°Leave it to me!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was also a little puzzled by Kron, who quickly switched and looked forward.
This time, Kron changed and became really strong, to the extent that even Jamdi¡¯el, who had been with her for over a decade, had be like that.
I was worried about a lot of things, but it seemed that they will be okay from now on.
Besides, from now on, ¡®that guy¡¯ will be¡
¡°So, let¡¯s get going too?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
And I stopped waving my hand at Sadiz and the others who were already far away.
Jamdi¡¯el and Kron ride on Hilua¡¯s back, and I get behind the prince.
Anyway, this was still a bad idea.
¡°Now then, Hiyo~!¡±
¡°Whoa!¡±
¡°Come now, hold fast, princess ?.¡±
¡°I¡¯m a man! Whoa!?¡±
The prince, who teased me for being embarrassed, sent a signal to the Pegasus.
Then the Pegasus raised its front legs to gain momentum and jumped straight off the clouds.
¡°Uoh, nuh, fall, abu, nuh-uh, guh¡±
¡°Ah¡¡ nh.¡±
At first I felt embarrassed to put my hands around the prince¡¯s waist, but the moment we jumped off, I reflexively clung to his body.
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Hahaha, thou art too startled, boy. Art thou so scared to hold on so desperately?¡±
¡°Oh? No¡ no, I¡¯m fine.¡±
¡°Hahahaha, is that so? Then, firmly put thy arms around my ¡®waist¡¯.¡±
I lost my bnce a little and, to my embarrassment, clung to the prince¡¯s body in a daze, and the prince made fun of me for that, but¡ right now, I felt something strange in my palm¡ it was soft¡ no, it¡¯s firm, but¡ just a little softer? What part of the prince¡¯s body did I just touch?
Oh, are we too close? The scent¡ even though he¡¯s a man, why does this guy smell so good?
¡ºAh, child? You¡ have you not realized it at all?¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
¡ºWell, this one may be dressed as such, but actually¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar gave me a scowling look and said¡
¡°So, where are we headed?¡±
¡°Huh? ¡ oh, um¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar was about to say something, but was upset by the prince¡¯s question.
¡°Ah~, Kron¡¯s party will head to the westernmost coastline of the Empire, where they will be picked up.¡±
That was decided after talking with Paripi.
And I¡
¡°I see. So, where should I send thee, boy?¡±
¡°Oh, I want you to go a little further after we¡¯ve dropped Kron.¡±
¡°Ah, I don¡¯t mind.¡±
¡°¡¡ I mean, if you think about it carefully, we¡¯ll just stop for a while and then we¡¯ll be back in the territory of the Empire we¡¯ve left¡¡±
That was the particrs Tre¡¯ainar and I decided on.
¡°Fufufu, my Pegasus is a capable escort at great distances in little time. However, is that funny dragon over there doing fine?¡±
¡°Oh, what, did you just make fun of me?! Watch me! I, I¡¯m quite confident in my flying speed!¡±
¡°Wow, fast fast fast!¡±
¡°Lady Kron, don¡¯t lean out too much¡ then again, what is this dragon? Where in heavens did thou find it¡ Earth Lagann?¡±
¡°Huh? Ah. Me and Kron summoned him.¡±
And while we were talking, the continent closest to Cacretale came into our sight.
¡°Oh, look, boy. Over there¡¡±
¡°Huh? Oh¡¡ a continent came into view¡ but that¡¯s not it¡¡. that¡¯s¡¡±
¡¸¡¡ The Kingdom of Bethreal¡¡ or¡¡±
¡°Wow, that¡¯s another country, I¡¯ve never seen one!¡±
Arge port town can be seen along the coastline facing the sea, and several ships were anchored.
A country I¡¯ve never been to.
Kron had a twinkle in her eye.
¡ºOh¡ is that¡ The Kingdom of Bethreal¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also looking at it, with a ¡°Hoh~.¡±
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar, have you ever been to that country?¡¹
¡ºNo, never that country, I was not particrly interested. Although a member state of the Union, its national strength is below the middle level¡ tis a country far inferior to the Empire and the Kingdom of Japone¡¡»
¡¸I see. Well, I don¡¯t know much about it either.¡¹
Primarily, I want to freely travel, so I guess stepping into a country I¡¯ve never been to is one of the pleasures.
If it weren¡¯t for transporting Kron¡¯s party, I might have thought it would be okay to take a little detour.
And then¡¡
¡ºThe Kingdom of Bethreal¡ speaking of which¡¡ ¡°that little girl¡± who was one of the Seven Heroes was from that country¡e to think of it, what is she doing? Did she not notice that Jamdi¡¯el had been lurking just a stone¡¯s throw away for more than a dozen years?¡»
¡°The Kingdom of Bethreal¡ speaking of which¡¡ ¡°that little girl¡± who was one of the Seven Heroes was from that country¡ well, she never did return to that country after the war, so I was able to hide in Cacretale, not far away.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar and Jamdi¡¯el muttered almost simultaneously.
And they both spoke of the member of the Seven Heroes from that country.
¡ºHmm?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar responded to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s mutterings.
¡ºOi, child¡¡»
On that subject, of the Seven Heroes except father and mother, only one of them mattered to Treina¡
¡¸Huh? Oh~¡¡ didn¡¯t you know? Oh yeah, we didn¡¯t talk about that.¡¹
¡ºHmm. What do you mean? I thought all the Seven Heroes had high positions in their homes, but¡ well, most of them are from the Empire.¡»
¡¸Oh. Five of them. Father, mother, the Emperor, Rebal¡¯s father, Fu¡¯s father.¡¹
¡ºAnd Kojirou of Japone is the head of the Samurai Warriors, is he not? I did hear that much. But then again, I am yet to hear about thest, ¡®That Little Girl¡¯.¡»
If I remember correctly, you talked about that during the Cacretale tournament, right?
As I recall, it was in the course of talking about the Six Supremacy¡
¡ºThe youngest of the Seven Heroes¡ at the time, she was still a little girl, about seven or eight years of age? ¡°Espie¡±¡ I suppose she will be over twenty now, but she was quite the interesting one¡ no, that is why she was so interesting¡ she must have been used by the adults of Bethreal, but¡ could it be due to the circumstances there?¡»
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar fondly mentions the name of one of the Seven Heroes, who was also a former enemy.
I know that ¡®name only¡¯.
¡¸I¡¯ve only heard about her in stories, and I¡¯ve never met her.¡¹
¡ºHoh~, she was apanion to your parents, and she seemed like a little sister to them, but¡ did you nevere across each other in all that time?¡»
¡¸I haven¡¯t. My father and mother may have met asionally after the war, but at least I haven¡¯t met Kojirou or Espie.¡¹
We¡¯ve never met.
Well, I don¡¯t know about before I could remember.
Even that Old man Mikado said he had met me when I was a baby.
¡ºTis fine. That aside¡ what is Espie doing now?¡»
¡¸Now?¡¹
¡º¡¡ Now?¡»
¡¸No, I don¡¯t know. But from what I¡¯ve heard¡ there were various incidents with her country, so they cut off their rtionship¡ it seems that she didn¡¯t have any family¡ and for a while she was doing something with the Allied Force, but what are they doing now? I don¡¯t know, my father and mother wouldn¡¯t tell me about it in detail, and I wasn¡¯t really that interested either¡¡¹
I¡¯ve heard a lot about the saga of the Seven Heroes, and even read about it in textbooks.
That included the post-war political rtionship with the demons and the Demon Realm.
But I don¡¯t know much about Espie.
¡°Earth Lagann, thou¡ what does thou know about Espie?¡±
I was about to tell Tre¡¯ainar that I didn¡¯t know, but it was Jamdi¡¯el who asked.
¡°Huh? No, only the name¡ unlike the other Seven Heroes, what is she doing now¡¡±
¡°Is that so¡¡±
When I replied, Jamdi¡¯el stared at the port town of Bethreal and then¡
¡°Before¡ I asked Hakuki¡ he told me that Espie and Norja were working on¨D¨D¨D ¡°
But before she could say it, her words were interrupted.
¡°I found theeeeeeem!!!!¡±
¡°There they aaaaaaaaaaare!!!!
¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deh!!??
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Horsey! But go faster now¡±
¡°I¡¯ll heal you up if you get tired! I¡¯ll give you lots of great carrotster! So, please!¡±
I turn around.
There, from far behind, someone was chasing after us at breakneck speed.
¡°Wh, wha, what!? So fast! Something ising¡! I mean, uh¡¡±
When I strained my eyes, I saw it was a Pegasus flying at a furious pace.
And straddling it with a loud voice¡
¡°Uh, wai¡ why!?¡±
¡°Wh¡ what!?¡±
Me and Jamdi¡¯el were stunned at the same time.
¡°Oh? Who is it?¡±
¡°Tch,¡ Hiro¡ Mamu!¡±
Father!? Mother!? Why?
Because Sadiz and Phianse said they¡¯d talk to them¡
¡º¡¡ I guess they never even listened to what they had to say, borrowed the Pegasus from the Seraph for the time being, and chased after you with all their might¡¡»
¡°¡¡ most likely¡¡±
I see¡ those two¡ they don¡¯t listen to people¡ even if Sadiz and Phianse say to ¡°trust me¡±¡ they won¡¯t even believe them¡. no, they chased after me before even hearing about it?
Either way¡¡ this is bad
And I was in such a hurry, I hadn¡¯t noticed it yet.
Neither Jamdi¡¯el nor Kron noticed.
Father and mother chasing after us on a single Pegasus carrying two.
But, they weren¡¯t actually ¡°two people¡±.
In fact, there was one other¡ a very small one¡ between father and mother¡ clinging tightly to my father¡¯s back, and my mother hugging her from behind¡
Chapter 232: Simply Talent
Chapter 232 ¨C Simply Talent
Watching my parents chasing after us at breakneck speed, Tre¡¯ainar let out a sigh of exasperation¡
¡ºThat fool. In all likelihood¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
¨D¨D Whoa, what? A Pegasus from the sky¡ what¡¯s going on? Uh, is that Sadiz? Phianse too!
¨D¨D Master¡ Madam¡¡ I¡¯m sorry for all the trouble I¡¯ve caused you.
¨D¨D I¡¯m d you¡¯re safe¡ but what the hell is this? And Sadiz¡ where¡¯s Earth¡
¨D¨D Little man will not return home
¨D¨D Huh!?
¨D¨DMaster, Little ma¨D¨D!?
¨D¨DHe¡¯s noting back!? Why not! That¡¯s¡ I¡¯ll have to ask him directly!
¨D¨D No, that¡¯s why¡
¨D¨D Huh? There¡¯s a shadowing from that cloud¡ is something flying in the other direction? Is that¡ Earth maybe!? This can¡¯t keep happening! Sadiz, and the Winged Lady, I¡¯m borrowing your horse!
¨D¨D Master!
¨D¨D Hiro, I¡¯ll ride along too!
¨D¨D Hiya, waiiiiiiiiiiiiit, Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!!
¨D¨DMasteeerr, Madaaaam, let me finish talkiiiiiiiiing!
¡º¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª and well, it would go as such, would it not?¡»
¡¸Jeez, I could clearly imagine the scene too.¡¹
And the image that Tre¡¯ainar had envisioned flowed into my mind.
And I could easily imagine that scene.
That¡¯s probably how it went.
Even though Sadiz and Phianse said they would ¡°talk to my father¡±, the fact that it took so little time to catch up must mean that they did not listen to them at all and just came running.
¡°Tch, hey, Earth Lagann! Of all people¡Hiro¡Mamu¡what shall we do?!¡±
¡°Earth, those people over there¡¡±
¡°Damn¡ I can¡¯t just hand over Jamdi¡¯el and Kron like this¡ Prince! Hilua! Let¡¯s flyyyyyyy!¡±
¡°I fail to follow, but thou should avoid capture, is it? Understood. Nevertheless¡¡ that man possesses tremendous power¡ a Pegasus, which can only be controlled by a Seraph¡ has instinctively surrendered and is following hismands¡¡±
¡°Huh? I¡¯m pretty serious already! Should I fly faster?!¡±
Anyway, they will catch up with us if things continue like this.
¡°Eaaaaaaaaart! Jamdi¡¯eeeeeeel! Stoooooooop!¡±
¡°Earth, stop! And talk to us!¡±
Even if I could patch things up with Sadiz, Phianse, and the others¡ I still can¡¯t deal with those two¡ and with Jamdi¡¯el and Kron¡ that¡¯s why I can¡¯t afford to get caught.
¡°Indeed, that they dere, but we won¡¯t stop. Is that okay? Boy.¡±
¡°Yeah! Can you get away?¡±
¡°Leave it to me. It¡¯s still too early for humans to challenge the speed of us Seraphs in the sky.¡±
Despite feeling the intense pressure of the fierce pursuit, the prince was confused at first, but now he seemed calm.
He released one hand from the reins he had been holding with both hands.
¡°Strange Dragon, will thou surrender thyself to me?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°If wings alone are not enough, let the wind be our ally!¡±
At that moment, magic power gathered in the prince¡¯s hand.
¡°At times, the wind can endanger lives. But sometimes the wind pushes us forward. Such exquisite power is possible only because I have the Heraldic Eye¡ ¡¾Mega Wind Boost¡¿ !!!¡±
¡°Nnuh!?¡±
The magic that was released was wind. It enveloped the whole body of our Pegasus and Hilua, bing a propulsive force that pushed us forward at once.
¡°Nnah, so much! Somehow, it¡¯sfortable yet going at such great speed! I¡¯m pushed!¡±
¡°Wow! Now, it¡¯s faster than ever!¡±
¡°¡¾Wind Boost¡¿¡ a spell used by the Seraph to elerate flight¡ however, if the force is not adjusted properly, the powerful winds will destroy the body¡ not only to ourselves, but also to the Pegasus, that dragon and others riding along¡ well, it is easier with the Heraldic Eye, but¡¡±
¡ºA magic spell to promote eleration, huh¡¡ now then¡¡¡»
It¡¯s fast. It¡¯s as if we ourselves have be one with the wind¡ I must not be shaken off.
¡°Nnh, wait, they¡¯re getting faster! They¡¯re trying to get away!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you go any faster?¡±
¡°Damn, damn it! Horsey, you can¡¯t lose hope?! I¡¯ll give all the high-grade carrots and apples from the Empire you wantter!¡±
The distance that should have been closing widened again.
Father and mother are amazed at the prince¡¯s magic.
¡°We shall soon break off from them. Boy. Goddess. Jamdi¡¯el. Strange dragon!¡±
Apparently, they can¡¯t keep up with this speed¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Uooooooooooooh!!! That¡¯s the spiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt!!!!
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
But, the voices of my father and mother that were heard from a distance¡ somehow, they seem to be getting closer and closer again¡
¡°¡¡ What!?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Oh~¡¡±
¡°Tch, this is why that man is such an irregrity¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡ as I remember. Same as ever¡¡»
The Pegasus and Hilua elerate with wind magic. The prince had just said with a smug face, ¡°Only I can do it because I have a Heraldic Eye¡±.
Jamdi¡¯el must have nodded in admiration as well.
But¡
¡°Hey, what were you saying, Prince? The Pegasus that my father is riding¡ is also elerating with wind magic and chasing after us!¡±
¡°Ridiculous¡ how in heavens¡¡±
¡°They¡¯re getting faster, too. What the hell is that?¡±
Yes, the Pegasus that my father and mother were riding on elerated with the wind just like ours.
Even the prince was surprised at this.
And right here, these two people know what that means.
¡°My goodness, Hiro, that idiot¡ even without the Heraldic Eye, he made an attempt by imitating what he sees¡ that¡¯s what it means.¡±
One is Jamdi¡¯el.
In a way, she knows more about my father than I do.
I know this because she¡¯s fought against the ¡°serious father¡± that I don¡¯t even know.
¡°Ridiculous¡ imitating my spell? And perfectly controlling the force¡? Nay¡¡ I don¡¯t believe it!¡±
¡°Prince?¡±
¡°Then, how about this? Second leg!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Boy, hold the reins for me for a moment!¡±
The prince still had an even higher ¡°technique¡±.
I grabbed the reins he was holding from behind and he released his hands.
Then, condensed the magic power in the center of both palms?
¡°If a simple Wind Boost will not do¡ umte the wind¡ in other words,press the wind to the limit and then release it. By doing so, for a moment, it creates further explosive eleration!¡±
¡ºHoh~¡ to unleash the magic afterpressing it¡ hmm¡ this also requires the ability to apply magical techniques, but¡¡»
¡°Here we go, boy! Dragon! Instant eleration, ¡¾Mega Turbojet¡¿!!¡±
It was a true explosion. An intense eleration that was iparable to what we had just experienced.
In addition, he put up a kind of barrier around us so that the wind doesn¡¯t cut the Pegasus¡¯ or our skin.
¡°Uoo, oooooooooh!!!¡±
¡°Kyaaah, that¡¯s amazing!¡±
¡°So cool!¡±
Me, Kron, and Hilua all burst outughing at that intense eleration.
If this is the case¡
¡°Oh, something again¡ did the guy on horseback with Earth do it? That¡¯s magic I ain¡¯t seen before¡¡±
¡°Hey, you¡¯re losing them again, idiot Hiro! Look, just do what they¡¯re doing!¡±
¡°Jeez, uh, like this, this maybe¡ is that it? Come on! Oh, got it!¡±
¡°Huh!!??¡±
Then, as I thought about it, my father used the same magic as the prince by imitating what he saw, and was catching up with us again.
¡°Wh, wh¡ what?¡±
No wonder the prince thought that. I am the same.
Then, here, another person who knows my father other than Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡ºWith the Heraldic Eye, one can analyze the magic seen with the eye in detail with theory and logic, decipher it in the brain, and then make the magic their own. In that sense, Hiro may be unable to exin the current magic of the prince with logic and theory. But he can still use his magic by the mere sight of it.¡»
It was Tre¡¯ainar, who knew more about my father than even Jamdi¡¯el, for that matter.
¡ºTis not an ability. He is able to embody the images he sees with his eyes and what he feels with his body, without any logic or theory.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºYes, not ability¡ simply talent.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
The cruelest force in the world, in a sense, that can unravel the power that a person acquires through bloody efforts and repetitive practice done over and over again without rest, and can do it with just one word.
¡°Ah, this magic¡ by casting it continuously, we can go faster, can¡¯t we? Like this¡ yes, here we go!¡±
¡°Eh!? Wh¡ my spell in session!? Ridiculous¡ to umte and release magic at ultra-high speed, and then umte and release it again repeatedly¡ even though the repetition of this process requires tremendously advanced technique and vast amounts of magic power¡ who in heavens is that man?!¡±
Haha, at the end of the day, far from imitating the prince¡¯s magic, did he develop it into something even more amazing?
Yeah, that¡¯s him, my father¡
¡°No matter what! If you have the spirit, you can do anything! Come on, no matter where you go, even if it¡¯s the end of the world, I ain¡¯t letting you go!¡±
That¡¯s the thing¡ Father.
After all, my father wouldn¡¯t understand.
¡°Hey, Earth! Stop already! I can¡¯t trust Jamdi¡¯el either, but as your dad, I¡¯m going to have a proper talk with you¡ no, more than that, your dad and mom, we both have to apologize to you¨D¨D¨D¡±
That¡¯s why I¡ approached my father, who shouted at me from behind¡
¡°Hey, father.¡±
¡°Huh! Oh! What is it, Earth!¡±
¡°Father ¡ have your talents ever brought you despair?¡±
¡°¡¡ Heh?¡±
I felt a happy reaction for a moment when I called my father, but then I heard a scoff, as if my words were unexpected.
But I don¡¯t look back. I won¡¯t get caught.
I¡¯m going to keep looking forward, and I¡¯m not going to be so pathetic¡¡ as toin to my father¡.
Author¡¯s Note
Actually, the conversation between Hiro and Earth was all the way back in Chapter 42. I posted that on June 12, 2019.
Chapter 233: You Liar
Chapter 233 ¨C You Liar
I said that to him. But I couldn¡¯t help myself.
Because, right now, I felt terribly ufortable with my father¡¯s no-nonsense behavior as he desperately chased after me.
Besides¡¡ I just remembered¡
¨D¨D Well, you¡¯re the type to grow slowly. Take your time and do your best.
Those are the words that he said.
To be frank, nothing irritated me more than those unreliable words.
¡°Earth¡ you¡¡±
¡°Earth, you¡ what are you¡¡±
My father and mother looked stunned by my question.
without looking back at those two, I continued to pester them¡
¡°Of course, you¡¯ve been working hard, too, haven¡¯t you? You¡¯ve had a hard time, haven¡¯t you? You¡¯ve been through a lot of pain during the war, haven¡¯t you? There were some sad moments, but I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve ovee them too, haven¡¯t you? I don¡¯t know much about the past, but I think it must have been like that for you. I know that my father¡¯s life wasn¡¯t just easy victories. I also fought against the Six Supremacy, and I felt their overwhelming power, so my parents who fought against them must have been struggling¡ but¡¡±
But I say.
¡°But, after all, my father can¡¯t understand what I¡¯m going through.¡±
¡°Earth!?¡±
¡°Does my father know how I feel? How for more than a decade I¡¯ve been striving for a Magic Sword that didn¡¯t suit me¡ my days of being neglected, being told that I was your son, or that I was still growing up every day¡ my feelings¡¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
And my father and mother, who were stunned by my words, raised their voices in a panicked manner.
But¡¡
¡°What?! Earth¡ what¡¡ doesn¡¯t suit you¡ that¡¯s¡ such a thing¡¡ uh¡¡ Earth¡¡ I¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡±
¡°It didn¡¯t! I didn¡¯t have it! Even if I might have had qualities that were above normal¡ not enough for a Hero thoroughbred!¡±
That was also what I had blurted out when I fought Rebal in that Imperial match.
I guess they both remember that.
Choking on my words.
¨D¨D I don¡¯t have the same talent as my father. Even if I imitate my father, I would spend my whole life and never catch up with him.
Because they had heard my words at that time, neither of them could deny it.
But that¡¯s not the point.
¡°My father, who can see, feel and act on instinct and can do almost anything, doesn¡¯t know why I can¡¯t do that. That¡¯s why you didn¡¯t even understand what was happening with me.¡±
¡°Ah¡ Earth¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar speaks of things in theory and reason.
¨D¨D For you a ¡¾Magic Swordsman¡¿¡ rather, Hiro¡¯s fighting style is unsuitable. He is the type to focus a suicide attack on a single point without thinking ahead. He utilizes the firepower of his magic in the sword to the utmost in order to defeat his opponent. This is realized when the person possesses great muscle mass, a tremendous amount of magical power, endurance, and fortitude to resist a half-hearted counterattack. None of this applies to you.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¨D¨D You are Hiro¡¯s son, but your inherent strength and magical power differ from your father¡¯s. No matter how much you imitate Hiro, you can never surpass him.
As soon as we met, he saw that I was not suitable for the Magic Sword, and he also exined to me properly, ¡°Why was it not suitable¡±.
Furthermore, in Cacretale, he exined to me the style I should aim for¡
¨D¨D If a broad and shallow term like Jack of all Trades still concerns you, consider this. What you are aiming for is¡ to learn everything extensively and intimately¡. to have Dexterous Affluence!
¨D¨D¡¡ ha¡ hahaha¡
¨D¨D And¡ I ¡ call those who show prominence in a single talent ¡®specialists¡¯, and those who excel in everything, ¡®generalists¡¯.
He exined everything step by step and convinced me.
¡°Father, and mother, what did see of me for over a decade? You didn¡¯t know why I couldn¡¯t do it, did you? No, you didn¡¯t see that much of me in the first ce, did you?¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
¡°Why couldn¡¯t I beat Phianse or Rebal? Am I the type of person who grows slowly? But will I be able to do it someday? Because I¡¯m the child of you two? Because I¡¯m the Son of the Hero? With enough effort? Don¡¯t make fun of people!¡±
At that moment, I could tell without looking back that they were both in shock.
Because they were both speechless, and my father¡¯s magic hand of eleration had stopped.
¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter now. I don¡¯t need to talk about it anymore. Because now¡ I¡¯ve already¡ been rewarded¡¡±
Yes, things had already paid off in the heavenly world.
For ten years, I¡¯ve been working hard on something that didn¡¯t suit me. But those days weren¡¯t in vain.
It became the decisive factor in my victory over that Paripi.
My decade was connected to that moment.
That¡¯s why I was rewarded.
Tre¡¯ainar showed me that.
¡°And¡ now there¡¯s someone by my side¡ looking at me¡ looking at Earth Lagann.¡±
Yes, right beside me right now was Tre¡¯ainar, who understands me, who watches over me.
And then there¡¯s Kron, who saw the fruits of my efforts and recognized me as me. So is Shinobu.
But I don¡¯t want to talk about this to my father, who would never understand me.
Ah¡ I should have grown up a bit too¡ I didn¡¯t mean to say this¡ but it seems like I still rebel against my father and mother like a kid.
But for now, I think it¡¯s fine. So¡..
¡°Prince, elerate ¡¡ while you still can.¡±
¡°Wah, y, yes¡ very well¡¡±
I patted the prince on the shoulder and told him to keep his distance from the two, who were probably in shock.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡is that¡¡ right¡¡ Earth. We¡¡ we¡¯re failures as parents¡ I didn¡¯t see anything¡¡±
¡°I know¡ we didn¡¯t know anything¡ I didn¡¯t even know what I didn¡¯t know!¡±
I heard their voices again¡
¡°¡±That¡¯s why I won¡¯t lose sight of you this time, I don¡¯t want to make a mistake this time!!¡±¡±
And then they lose sight of me while still stunned with shock¡ isn¡¯t happened¡
But, all the same.
I don¡¯t feel like getting caught by the two of you right now.
No matter what you say, I can¡¯t look back¡
¡°Goddess! High Priestess! ¡¡ Older Brother!!¡±
¡°Huh!!??
In that, too unexpected voice¡ I shouldn¡¯t have looked back at my parent¡¯s cries¡ I turned around to that small, but loud cry¡
¡°Eh? Ara? Th, that voice!?¡±
¡°Wha, what? Why is she¡!¡±
Just as Kron, who should have been poised in this situation, was astonished, and Jamdi¡¯el was equally surprised.
That¡¯s right.
No way¡ that girl¡
¡°Wait! Why? Where are you going? Why are you leaving!?¡±
That little girl¡ she poked her head out from between my father and mother, and her eyes were moist¡ ah¡¡ shit¡¡ darn it¡¡ I¡.. why is she¡!
¡°Oh¡ that shit father of mine¡ of all people¡!¡±
I put my own stupidity on the shelf and unintentionally took it out on my father.
But I never thought she¡¯d be here¡
¡°Oh, ah¡ Earth! It¡¯s Amae! Amae is¡¡±
¡°Why is Amae with Hiro¡?¡±
¡°Damn¡ the situation is just like¡¡±
¡°Boy, who¡¯s that prettyss?¡±
¡°Hmm? It¡¯s little Amae!¡±
It seems that my parents hadnded in Cacretale, so they met Amae and the others there, and when they chased after me, she jumped on board like, ¡°Amae too!¡±.
That stupid father must have said something like, ¡°Right,e on!¡±.
But, I was going somewhere with Kron and Jamdi¡¯el without saying anything to her¡. I betrayed Amae, who was waiting for us to return¡ it¡¯s my responsibility¡
¡°Earth, what are you going to do? Amae¡ Amae is¡¡±
Kron was also agape.
That¡¯s right. Kron also fond of Amae.
Amae was also fond of Kron.
Amae like that¡
¡°Wait~!!¡±
Desperately, she reached out to us¡ it¡¯s natural to pull us back¡ I¡¯d do the same, damnit!
But, but¡ now¡¡
¡°Someday¡ definitely again¡ so, for now¡ now¡¡ go ahead, Prince.¡±
Now I can¡¯t let those tears stop me.
¡°Earth! But that¡¯s¡ like this¡¡±
¡°¡¡ we have no choice. Lady Kron, right now we can¡¯t afford to be caught by Hiro and his group¡¡±
¡°Art thou sure? Boy?¡±
¡°Oh? Hey, are we going away?! Amae is crying! Hey!¡±
So¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡ Amae¡
¡°Uh¡ ah¡ Older¡ Brother¡¡±
But¡¡ someday surely ¡ª¨C
¡°Oh¡ l¡ ar¡ iar¡ liar!!
¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deh!!??
¡°Liar, liar¡ liar¡¡ you liaaaaaaaar!¡±
Pulled by that voice, I look back again and¡
¡°You said you¡¯de back! I said we¡¯d y a lot! You said! You said! Said! But¡ but¡ you liaaaaaaar!!¡±
Ah, damn it¡e to think of it¡¡ when I was younger¡ my father and mother were like that¨D¨D¨D¨D
Chapter 234: Outwit
Chapter 234 ¨C Outwit
¡°Amae¡¡±
Amae, who called me Older brother and adored me. Who made you cry?
It¡¯s obvious. It was me.
¡°Older brother¡ Liar¡ guh¡ Liar¡¡±
If I win, we¡¯ll y a lot.
I¡¯ll save Jamdi¡¯el ande back with everyone.
I made a lot of promises to her, and on top of that, she always worked her hardest with that little body, to raise her voice and move as much as she can¡
¨C Fight on! Fure fure, older brother!
I made her cry, who believed in me and supported me.
Why didn¡¯t I think of her?
If I had been a little more considerate of her before I left for the Heavenly World¡ Amae, who is more pure and innocent than anyone else¡ I wouldn¡¯t have caused her so much grief.
And when I look at that face, I can¡¯t help but think back to past days.
I was like that when I was a kid too¡
¨D¨D No~, my bad Earth. I can¡¯t go to the piano presentation today. I have urgent work to do¡
¨D¨Duugh, I¡¯m sorry, Earth! I was supposed to make you a lunch box, but I just didn¡¯t have time¡ I¡¯ll ask Sadiz to do it! I¡¯m so sorry!
They were busy people.
¨D¨DN, no problem. Mom and dad are busy¡ and I don¡¯t feel lonely at all! Sadiz¡¯s lunch is better than mom¡¯s! I like it that way, so I¡¯m not sad at all!
¨D¨D Oh, how sweet of you, Earth! Let¡¯s go shopping with your dad on my next day off! I¡¯ll buy you whatever toy you like!
¨D¨DYour mom will burst into tears! I¡¯ll make it up to you! Mom will buy anything!
So, even if the schedule was vacant at first, it was not umon for their ns to change on short notice.
They looked really sorry, apologized many times, and hugged me.
Even when I tried to run away in embarrassment, they didn¡¯t let go for a while, and we squirmed around.
And, as promised, the two of them made up for it by buying me a toy of my choice.
They just gave Sadiz the money, and I went shopping together with Sadiz¡
At that time, no even before that, such things had happened many times.
But I wasn¡¯t as twisted back then as I was in the academy, so I tried to be a good kid in my childhood.
But the truth is¡
¡°Gushu, Old, er brother¡ High Priestess¡ Goddess¡¡±
I was like that too¡
¡°¡¡ I¡¡±
¡ºChild¡¡»
¡°Damn, damn! Those damn parents¡ why¡¡ at this point¡are you making me¡boomerang¡¡±
At that time, if I had been an unreasonable child, I would have wanted to shout out my true feelings, like Amae shouted now.
And it¡¯s directed at me.
Can I shake off those tears and cries¡ and go? No, can I go?
¡ºChild¡ before doing anything foolish, let me say one thing.¡»
¡¸Huh!?¡¹
At that time, the moment I was confused in my heart, Tre¡¯ainar told me, looking at the parents behind me.
¡ºYou have gotten stronger, but¡ for you ¡®alone¡¯ to outwit those two is¡ impossible. Even with my superfluous instruction, tis equivalent to Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi¡ no, beyond that¡ you can do nothing against those two. Yes, for you ¡®alone¡¯¡ so¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar always calmly and urately analyzes the current situation.
That¡¯s why Tre¡¯ainar says that no matter what I try to do after this, if I take any action other than running away, my father and mother will catch me.
Yes, ¡®I alone¡¯ can¡¯t do it.
I mean, if I do ¡®something foolish¡¯¡ but¡¡
¡°Tch¡ Hiro¡ Mamu¡ I. I never imagined the sealing of my Heraldic Eyes would frustrate me so soon¡¡±
Now that her Heraldic Eye and magic power are sealed, Jamdi¡¯el can¡¯t be counted as a fighting force.
In the first ce, this was also an action to get Jamdi¡¯el to escape.
If Jamdi¡¯el gets caught here by my parents, all of this would have been for nothing.
But then¡
¡¸¡¡ This is¡¡ my family situation¡but Amae¡but¡¡¹
Yes, I mean, Tre¡¯ainar is telling me that if I am to do anything, I¡¯m going to have to involve Kron.
And then, to me¡
¡ºTis not wrong to keep on straight ahead against the tears and cries of that little girl, in order to achieve the original purpose. Even if called a liar for breaking your promise to that little girl, tis merely the feelings of that little girl¡ however¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ However?¡¹
¡ºAt least¡ even if just a farewell and an apology¡ I do not believe tis wrong. Besides¡¡ even if you broke your promise, for the time being, your parents apologized to you, did they not? On the other hand, if you run without apologizing for breaking your promise¡ less than that¡ now, what will you do?¡»
Assuming that it is up to me to decide, Tre¡¯ainar asked me for a choice that I didn¡¯t even have to think about.
Thanks to that, I found my own answer.
But¡¡
¡¸Kron can¡¯t get involved¡ I¡¯ll stop here¡ talk to Amae.¡¹
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡ however, if that happens, you will probably be taken back by Hiro and Mamu¡ or rather¡¡ do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Hiro and Mamu?¡»
¡¸I don¡¯t want to do that.¡¹
¡ºWhy not?¡»
¡¸It¡¯s a matter of how I feel.¡¹
¡ºHmmm, my oh my¡¡»
¡¸Still, I¡¯m a kid, having a grown-up attitude towards those two¡ I¡¯m not ready to do that. But¡¡ running away without saying anything to Amae¡ I don¡¯t want to be that kind of guy¡ even if it ends up making her cry¡ I have to say what I need to say!¡¹
First of all, I tell my father and mother, ¡°Shut up¡±, and let Amae and I talk.
I may not be forgiven, she may cry more, but I¡¯ll apologize properly and hope that someday she will be able to meet Kron and Jamdi¡¯el again¡ but it¡¯s a high hurdle¡ if I break that promise, I really will be like my parents¡
So, even if the conversation went well, I would say, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll be going! Talk to my parents? There¡¯s nothing there,¡± and just run away.
Can I do it? I¡¯m not sure about this.
But I have to do it.
I just can¡¯t involve Kron in this situation¡
¡°Earth!¡±
¡°Oh, yes? Kron?¡±
¡°Those two people with Amae seem to be Earth¡¯s parents¡ but, we can¡¯t let them catch us, can we?¡±
¡°Huh? Ah, ah, well¡¡±
¡°If that¡¯s the case, I think it would be better to greet Earth¡¯s parents properly, and I would like to learn about the reason why Earth is not on good terms with them, but it seems that this is not the situation at the moment, so please leave that aside for a moment!¡±
Just as I was about to make up my mind, Kron asked as she turned to my parents.
¡°Can we ask they not catch us and then let us say goodbye to Amae?¡±
¡°Probably¡ impossible¡¡±
¡°Lady Kron! That would be a quandary. More than anything, to those two¡ I¡..and thee, cannot possibly be overlooked.¡±
Both me and Jamdi¡¯el shook our heads at Kron¡¯s question.
Yes, if that were possible, we wouldn¡¯t have any trouble.
¡°In the first ce, they are a muscle-brained duo that flew in without carefully listening to what Sadiz and Phianse had to say¡ and even if they did listen to me, I don¡¯t think they¡¯d let me off the hook ¡¡ in their current position.¡±
So I¡
¡°Then here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do. Snatch Amae from those two, run away, and then slowly say goodbye to Amae and then¡ say sorry.¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Huh?¡±¡±
¡°Prince, after that, please send Amae back to Cacretale, okay?¡±
¡°Oh, uh¡?¡±
¡ºHoh~¡ Is that so?¡»
Kron¡¯s suggestion stunned me, Jamdi¡¯el, and the prince.
Only Tre¡¯ainar was grinning somewhat happily.
¡°No, Kron? What¡ Besides, to take Amae from those two and run away¡¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. As Earth¡¯s parents, they can¡¯t fight seriously, but those two are very strong, aren¡¯t they?¡±
¡°Well, they may be the strongest in the world¡¡±
¡°Then let¡¯s not fight, let¡¯s not defeat them, let¡¯s just bring Amae to us. Then let¡¯s run away.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el may not be able to move, but if Earth and I join forces, can¡¯t we at least do that?¡±
Even though I thought I couldn¡¯t get Kron involved, Kron came up with a proposal to get herself involved.
But that¡¯s too much of a win¡
¡°Kron. But if this gets you caught¡¡±
¡°I know. I want to stay with Jamdi¡¯el from now on. That¡¯s why I left Cacretale. But¡¡ I don¡¯t think I can ignore those tears and let only myself and Jamdi¡¯el escape! Even if I can¡¯t live with Amae anymore and end up making Amae cry again, I want to wipe those tears from her face and say goodbye.¡±
Everything was a needless worry.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ I¡¯m sorry for you, but¡¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡ however¡¡ should they discover that Lady Kron is the possessor of the Daybreak Eye, they will be even more¡¡±
¡°We¡¯ll handle it when it happens!¡±
¡°Oh¡ Lady Kron¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el may be displeased, but even so, the current Jamdi¡¯el can¡¯t stop her by force.
Kron¡¯s words are really messy, opportunistic, and selfish¡ Jamdi¡¯el is going to have a hard time in the future¡ but¡¡
¡°Heh, we¡¯re the ones who made even that Dragon King of Hades roar, aren¡¯t we? Why don¡¯t we just take Amae away from those 30-year-old heroes!¡±
¡°Earth!¡±
I thought to myself, ¡°I like this girl¡±.
Maybe she¡¯ll be a great parent when she has kids¡
¡°But no attacks, okay? Well, it¡¯s not about those two, and it¡¯s not about our attacks on them, either¡ Simply¡¡ I¡¯m worried for Amae.¡±
¡°Of course! The two of us join forces together and do our best!¡±
Frankly, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s okay if it¡¯s just me and Kron alone¡ but¡¡ this girl says she¡¯ll do it of her own volition, so I don¡¯t have to worry about that.
And¡..
¡°Oh, you two? Boy. Goddess. A little deste, aren¡¯t thee?¡±
¡°Prince?!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t really understand the circumstances, but¡ as a recement for Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes¡ I¡¯ll make up for it.¡±
The prince also smiled as he lends his strength to me and Kron.
Two more magic eyes¡
¡°I¡¯m here too! I won¡¯t allow you to leave wee Amae crying!¡±
Even the bloodline of the Dragon King of Hades.
And of course¡
¡ºFufufu, most of all, Hiro and Mamu remain unaware that Kron and the Prince have magic eyes. Tis a good advantage. You may not win the battle, but¡ let us try to outwit those two for a moment. I also¡ have a personal grudge against them!¡»
The most reliable guy will lend me a hand.
The opponents are my parents. The goal is to get my little sister away from them.
¡ºThat said, I do not have a very detailed strategy. Surely the child is exhausted from the consecutive battles. So we shall go simple. The child and the prince are distractions¡ trap them with Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eyes! If tis only for a moment, even they can leave an opening!¡»
What¡¯s this¡¡ it¡¯s inappropriate¡ Amae is crying, but¡Maybe I¡¯m just a little excited.

Chapter 235: Shaken
Chapter 235 ¨C Shaken
I¡¯m not alone.
There¡¯s Kron. There¡¯s the prince. There¡¯s Hilua. There¡¯s also Jamdi¡¯el, more or less.
And most of all, there¡¯s Tre¡¯ainar.
¡ºFufufufu, now¡ let us make it a fool of them¡ shall we? Hiro¡ Mamu¡¡»
So far, Tre¡¯ainar has supported me in battles against the likes of Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi.
To Tre¡¯ainar, they were formerpanions and subordinates.
But this time is different.
My parents. They were once Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s natural enemies.
¡ºI shall now give instructions, listen carefully, child.¡»
¡°Right, Kron. Prince. Listen to me. You too, Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°Right!¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°I¡¯m here as well!¡±
¡°Nuh¡?¡±
The one who killed Tre¡¯ainar¡ and I¡¯m his son¡ normally, this would be a dilemma, but now I don¡¯t feel any vicious sense of revenge or resentment from Tre¡¯ainar.
If anything, he had a smile on his face that makes you wonder what kind of prank he was about to y that he was so excited about it.
And¡..
¡ºReady? To outsmart them and retrieve the little girl¡ you must first deceive them.¡»
If you¡¯re going to do it, do it seriously. That¡¯s what he¡¯s trying to get across.
¡ºAs for the caveat, be careful not to make them overly cautious, so to speak. Do not make them conscious of the ¡®battle¡¯.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar insisted on this as a necessary prerequisite for outwitting my parents.
¡ºJamdi¡¯el uses her Heraldic Eye to analyze the opponent and read ahead. Therefore, she was able to avoid a fatal injury by foreseeing the future, and she could not catch your footwork. However, those two are different. Even against the Six Supremacy¡ they were anomalies among the other abominable seven heroes.¡»
¡¸?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar emphasized that my father and mother are special among the other Six Supremacy and the Seven Heroes.
I guessed it¡¯s because of their simple fighting ability, but there is more to it than that.
¡ºThe moment they became conscious of the battle, their concentration and even their reactions change. Even if we attempt to guide the movements with logic, or anticipate and attack, they would often detect and prevent it with wild intuition and instinct.¡»
Wild¡¡ right right right, talent talent talent he mentioned.
¡ºHowever, they do not yet know that Jamdi¡¯el can no longer fight. As such, even though they say they will listen, they will assume the worst-case scenario, that Yamidile will battle them. As a result, their vignce is extremely high at the moment, and their nerves are on edge. Therefore, let us first have them shaken.¡»
¡¸Shaken?¡¹
¡ºUh huh, that is¡ª-¡»
In other words, even if you try to anticipate their movements or use feints to outwit them, my father and mother, whose concentration is heightened by the state of battle, will ignore all theory and logic with their wild intuition and react on instinct to avoid danger or smash them to pieces.
That¡¯s why Tre¡¯ainar says, ¡°Don¡¯t make them conscious of the battle.¡±
But then, that¡¯s convenient.
I not to attack out of concern for Amae, so I wouldn¡¯t put my parents onto the battlefield anyway.
¡º¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D, like that¡¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ and this¡ feeling¡ no, wait. That strategy is¡ no, ah~, but¡¡±
¡°Heh¡ isn¡¯t that interesting?¡±
¡°Wow! I fully agree! Especially the first part, I concur!¡±
¡°What~, is that all I am doing?¡±
¡°Hey, wait! If something were to happen to Lady Kron ¡ nay, just my being present right now is a liability, but¡ Nuu!!!¡±
I told everyone the strategy that Tre¡¯ainar conveyed with a viinous smile.
As I recited it, I thought, ¡°Can such an idiotic strategy work on the strongest hero in the world?¡± But¡¡ if Tre¡¯ainar says so¡
¡ºOh. The remote ind over there is most suitable. Then,nd there¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s do it! Prince, Kron, we¡¯re going down there! Let¡¯s meet that idiot couple over there!¡±
¡°Hmph, I understand, boy!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, Hilly!¡±
¡°I got it!¡±
¡°Kuh¡ Lady Kron¡ be sure not to force thyself¡¡±
At that moment, a small ind appeared at the edge of my vision. There is no sign of people living there.
It may be part of the territories of the Kingdom of Bethreal, but let me use it for a moment.
¡°Hiro! They went down to that ind, didn¡¯t they? Did they stop? Earth¡¡ will he talk to us?¡±
¡°It wasn¡¯t our voices¡ did he hear the little one? But¡¡ somehow, to calm down and talk¡ that¡¯s not the mood¡ what is it¡ feels like he¡¯s itching to fight us¡¡±
¡°No way¡ he wants to¡ fight us? No way¡ is that¡ Earth¡¯s will?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, but¡ be prepared for an attack. Jamdi¡¯el is there too. Also, the good-looking guy on the Pegasus with Earth. That demon girl with Jamdi¡¯el¡ probably the rumored goddess¡ she¡¯s also a mystery¡ be on the lookout, okay?¡±
¡°Obviously, who are you talking to? Also, Amae, it¡¯s a little dangerous from here on out, so don¡¯t jump out, okay?¡±
My parents were chasing after us properly.
We¡¯re going tond on the ind.
And at that moment, Kron took a deep breath and started the n¡ but¡¡ are we really going to do this?
Even if they were Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, it was embarrassing.
But instead of being embarrassed, Kron was rather proud¡
¡°Su~¡ hah?!¡±
¡°¡±Huh?!¡±¡±
Father and mother change their expressions at Kron¡¯s sudden movement.
You can see that they are alert so that they can deal with whatever pops out.
But¡¡
¡°Earth¡¯s Father! Mother! Nice to meet you, my name is Kron!¡±
¡°¡±¡¡??¡±¡±
¡°I have be very close friends with Earth, I will be Earth¡¯s wife and have his baby in the future! So, pleased to make your acquaintance!¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Hah? ¡¡¡? ¡¡ eh!? M, mo mo mo mo mother!?¡±¡±
It wasn¡¯t an attack or a technique, but an outrageous self-introduction that left both of them shocked¡ I mean, it would have beenpletely unexpected.
But it¡¯s embarrassing¡
¨D¨D First of all, in order to disrupt the concentration of the two who are at maximum vignce¡ neither attack nor magic, just as in the Jamdi¡¯el battle¡ tis with words. Kron and¡ of course¡ with the child, that, ro, romance¡ reveal that the two of you are on good terms. That should upset those two immediately.
¨D¨D I, ah, wai, ah~, you know¡ Cron, um, oh, my thing, no, that self-introduction¡ oh, of being on good terms with me¡ to the two of them¡ then their concentration would be ¡ distracted¡
¨D¨D Eh? Do I introduce myself? Can I? I¡¯m d! I don¡¯t know what the strategy is, but if I can greet Earth¡¯s parents, I¡¯ll be happy to!
Kron was very excited about this n, and certainly, the expressions on father¡¯s and mother¡¯s faces were a mess.
¡°Ah, eh, th, then again, that¡¯s what Earth¡¯s friend Mortriage said¡ a youngdy named Kron, who is also a goddess who draws the blood of God, will be Earth¡¯s wife¡ d, dear me how so polite¡?¡±
¡°B, but such a pretty girl looks so happy, oh, a baby¡ well, with a Demon¡ no, if they¡¯re really in love with each other then it¡¯s okay, but¡¡±
¡°No, but Earth was so into Sadiz¡ I mean, that girl¡ in some respect, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡°Ah~, no more! So, Earth! I¡¯ll listen to your story, including all that! At least just talk!¡±
No, you¡¯re too upset, aren¡¯t you?
And there¡¯s more¡
¡°Such are the circumstances, Hiro! Mamu! My cursed nemesis!¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
¡°Earth Lagan and Lady Kron have already had naked rtions!¡±
¡°¡±N¡ na, na, naaakeeeeeeeedd!¡±¡±
By ¡°naked rtions¡±, she meant a bath! No, the bath is weird enough, though!
However, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s remarks further confused the two.
I didn¡¯t know it was so easy to disrupt their concentration.
Are you still the strongest hero in the world?
And unfortunately, although you seem to be confused, I have nothing to say to you two.
¡ºHmph, despite already being in the position of leading warriors¡ you have not changed, Hiro, Mamu¡ you can raise the morale of yourrades and inspire them, but¡ due to your basic stupidity, no matter how tense the situation, you two will be the first to be shaken by nonbat disruptions. In the absence of Mikado and Solja of the Seven Heroes, who were always able to give calm and precise instructions, the situation is as such¡¡»
On the other hand, Tre¡¯ainar, with his arms crossed and a wicked grin on his face, murmured as if looking down on them¡
¡ºOi, child. You see, they are already inferior to me in that aspect, are they not? See? Were it not for all seven of them in addition to all the magic power of the whole, I would have bested them, would I not?¡»
He said to me with a smirk on his face¡ ah~¡¡e to think of it¡¡ when we first met, he was concerned about that kind of thing¡ surprisingly Tre¡¯ainar also had a childish side¡
But¡¡
¡ºNow, the opponent¡¯s concentration has been disrupted. Let us go at once. Besides¡¡ you shall show them a portion, too, will you not?¡»
¡¸¡¡ Huh?¡¹
¡ºEven if tis not a battle, there is growth that can be demonstrated, and I know you have grown tremendously since thatst match¡ show it off!¡»
¡¸Hehe¡ Osu!!¡¹
With this, I¡¯m a simple enough kid who can easily get on board!
¡°Come on, the performance starts here! Let¡¯s go, Prince!¡±
¡°Yes, I shall cover thee!¡±
Well, right! I¡¯ll outwit them, surprise them a little, and take my sister and be on our way!
Author¡¯s Note
With the ban on business trips lifted, I would be on a business trip every dayst week¡ I thought, but it wasn¡¯t like that at all, and I was ¡°almost¡± self-restrainedst week. Well, it must be annoying for those who can go out now. However, I wonder if the new fiscal year will start in April. Lately, I don¡¯t eat out these days, I stay indoors most of the night, and I wear pants. Recently, however, I have started to keep in touch with my parents, who live far away, to check on each other¡¯s safety. They bought and read my novels in their spare time¡ when my parents asked me, ¡°Erm¡ do you have a grudge against us?¡±, I couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Chapter 236: High Quality
Chapter 236 ¨C High Quality
Kron and Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s embarrassing remarks may havepletely removed the poisonous air from father and mother, and they¡¯re looking stupid and flustered.
¡°Prince!¡±
¡°Leave it to me! Now, on this remote small ind with little greenery, let¡¯s bring forth a flower garden in full bloom! ¡¾Mega Gardening¡¿!¡±
In the meantime, I first had the prince beside me use magic.
¡°Huh? Magic!? Hey, Mamu¡ something¡¯sing!¡±
¡°I know! But with mega-ss magic, no matter what¡ eh?¡±
The two of them, who were having trouble concentrating, couldn¡¯t react by instantly smashing the prince¡¯s magic, and were just surprised.
But, if this magic was an ¡°attack¡± directed at father and mother, then the two of them will probably be conscious of ¡°battle¡± and concentrate, but¡
¡°Huh? These flowers¡ aren¡¯t even poisonous¡¡±
¡°Wow¡ this is¡¡±
On a small ind with only a little greenery and sandy beaches, flowers that would not normally be there were blooming.
It¡¯s not an attack, it¡¯s just a matter of making flowers bloom all over the ind.
¡°Wow~, the flowers are¡ beautiful¡ ¡°
¡°Hey little one, don¡¯t youe out from behind us!¡±
¡°And don¡¯t touch them so much¡ hey¡¡ but ordinary flowers? Huh? What¡¯s the point?¡±
On an ind with nothing on it, there was suddenly a field of colorful flowers in full bloom.
And there¡¯s no poison or attack or any other malicious or hostile intent in it, either.
Amae was excited, but both father and mother can¡¯t help but be puzzled by this change in the environment.
What¡¯s the point of all this? Well.
Actually¡¡
¡ºThere is no meaning. However, from the perspective of these two, whose concentration is disrupted, it would bring added confusion. Is there a point¡ merely having them contemte on that has merit. Furthermore, those two, who were in a passive state from the beginning, without any attack from the other side out of concern for the child, could do nothing. Fufufufu, passive Hiro and Mamu? A tactic most unbing of idiots, who have always taken the single-minded tactic of assault, suicide attack, and smash. Entirely a step behind, are you not? Hiro¡ Mamu!¡»
Yes, it doesn¡¯t mean anything. This was also just to confuse both father and mother.
But, from here on¡
¡°Your concentration is off, I¡¯m right in front of you, and you look away so easily¡ how are you supposed to look at me like that?¡±
¡ºCome now, humble them!¡»
At that moment, feeling as if Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words had pushed my back, I ran straight towards them.
¡°¡¡ eh! Earth!?¡±
¡°Huh, E, Earth!? What¡ are you doing?¡±
I¡¯ve been running around a lot, so I¡¯ll run at them.
In a panic, they looked at me and tried to brace themselves for a moment, thinking that I might attack them¡ but¡¡
¡°¡±Eh¡?¡±¡±
At this point, they must have been even more surprised.
Because they didn¡¯t feel any signs of an attack from me running straight ahead.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°¡¡ a charge?¡±
This dyed their reaction as well.
¡ºNow¡ fall out!¡»
If not to attack, then what am I running towards them for?
The correct answer is fundamentally different.
I¡¯m not running towards them.
It¡¯s just that those two were an ¡®obstacle¡¯ standing in my way.
The goal is to get to my little sister, who is standing behind them.
¡ºOnce you use the Breakthrough, those two will be conscious of the battle¡ so do not use it. What is needed here is not physical ability¡ tis running technique and quality!¡»
That¡¯s right, I¡¯m not running to attack. I¡¯m running to get past them and get to Amae.
In the current situation where they were distracted, their gaze averted, and their mind unable to think straight¡
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°¡±Eh!?¡±¡±
I slowed down the pace just before entering the distance between the two with a dash.
Change of pace¡ from¡ weight shift to the right.
¡°Hold on, Earth!¡±
¡°What!? Where!?¡±
My father and mother also reacted, shifting their center of gravity following my movement.
But then, I took a crossover step from shifting my weight to the right and turning back to the left¡
¡°What!? Oh¡¡ you¡ r, reverse move?!¡±
¡°This move¡ w, wait! I won¡¯t let you get away!¡±
But, both my father and mother were surprised by my reversal, but they reacted instantly.
I look away from both of them for a moment. The two also reacted to the slight induction of my gaze.
It seems that the two of them, who have fought a hundred battles, can keep up with my feints while being set up so well¡ but¡¡
¡°¡¡ kara~!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon?Killer?Crossover¡¿!!¡±
Just as my father and mother reacted and tried to shift their center of gravity with their gaze fixed on the opposite side, I stepped back again and got past them all at once.
¡°Sudden stop¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Eh¡ ah¡¡±
If this were a step used in battle¡ if the two were focused¡ it may have been crushed.
But I pulled it out.
¡ºFufu¡ a double and triple set-up¡ but that is not all. At the end of the blood-soaked training, tis the steps of the child whose shell was further broken by deadly battles with Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi¡ even without the Breakthrough¡ you were blindsided, were you not?¡»
Speed, power, that¡¯s not all.
¡ºNormally, you simple-minded idiots would smash your opponent head-on without thinking about feints or techniques¡ yet in spite of yourselves, you saw it, did you not? The child¡¯s perfect step work¡¡ so you got caught in the feint, did you not?¡»
I pulled out with technique. Father. Mother.
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ your¡¡ movement just now¡¡±
And the both of them fell for my feint, couldn¡¯t keep up, and their legs got entangled in the repeated weight shift, and they both fell on their butts on the spot together.
¡°Amae!¡±
¡°Oh¡ o¡ older brother!¡±
And with the obstacles out of the way, only Amae was waiting.
The moment she called me, I hugged her and held her in my arms.
¡ºImpressive. This crossover step that suppresses even the opponent¡¯s will to fight¡ tis truly worthy of being called the ¡¾Great Demon Killer Crossover¡¿! That was such a stunning ¡®Ankle Break¡¯, child!¡»
I moved my body as I wanted, and I got the two of them entangled as I wanted.
Even with this kind of yful exchange, I was ted by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, along with a slight sense of aplishment.
¡°Wow, that¡¯s amazing! Earth¡¯s father and mother fell!¡±
¡°Truly¡ what a beautiful move¡ Boy.¡±
¡°Earth¡ Lagann¡¡ that guy¡¡ even more so than when he fought me¡¡±
That¡¯s right everyone¡ look at me more¡ and be more surprised¡ I mean, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s going to take the liberty of naming it again with that weird naming sense¡. well, I feel good now, so I¡¯ll use that name for the rest of my life!
¡ºFufufufufu, fuhahahahahahaha! How most unseemly, Hiro! Mamu! Has peace blurred and dulled your senses? For both of you to get your feet caught and fall, fufufufufu, hahahahaha! How was it? What do you feel? But this is the child now! Originally, no matter how distracted you were, no matter how upset and confused you were, no matter how caught off guard you were, you falling t without even being able to even touch your son was an impossibility¡ but the current child is different! No! Grown to greater ¡®high quality¡¯ than you can imagine!¡»
And my master was in a better mood than I was.
But thanks to you¡
¡°Uh~¡ ugh, Older Brother¡ Older Brother!¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Older Brother! Uh, ah, uuuuh, idiot older brother, stupid, liar!¡±
Thanks to that, I was able to reach my crying sister face to face without running away.
I could once again feel the small but hard-working strength and weight of Amae, who was hugging me, and the next moment she was clinging to my neck in tears, and wrapping her legs around my back.
But¡¡
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. Butter, you can get mad at me a lot, you can hit me, and I¡¯ll pat you¡ just a little longer.¡±
This is not the Happy Ending.
¡°Hmm¡ Earth¡¡ you¡¡ that¡¯s right¡ they said you also beat Jamdi¡¯el¡ but¡¡ but¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°Hey¡ ugh¡¡ seriously¡¡ I was really surprised¡ Earth.¡±
Yes, the two heroes who were knocked down by me won¡¯t back down like this.
They both look back at me with their butts still on the floor.
Those two were looking up at me.
What happened in this momentary battle? It was the first time my father and mother had ever looked at me with such quiet and serious expressions, as if they were thinking back on it.
¡°You¡ until now¡¡ how much¡¡ ever since the previous match¡ how much¡¡ have you been running?¡±
¡°How many battles¡ have you ovee?¡±
Yes, those two¡the way they look at me has changed!
¡ºHmph¡ if you look at him this way¡ from here on out¡ the child as he is ¡®now¡¯ cannot triumph over these two people at the same time¡ ¡®now¡¯. But¡¡ Hiro¡ Mamu¡ even with those looks in your eyes, someday¡ the child¡¡»
I got it. I just caught them off guard right now.
But someday, even these two look with those eyes from the beginning¡ ¡®we¡¯¡
¡º¡±will surpass you!¡±¡»
Neither father nor mother would know the meaning of that onement, but ¡®we¡¯ made a deration.
And¡..
¡°Well, it seems that our opponents have be serious¡ we have to protect him¡ Scatter, ¡¾Flower Blizzard¡¿!!¡±
¡°Earth, that was so cool, I¡ I¡¯ll do my best too!¡±
As they admired me, the eyes of the two people over there were sparkling, and at the same time, the petals of the flower fields blooming all around the area blew into the air.

Overall rating exceeded 130,000 drills! Also, we achieved our goal with 870,000 drills! It was an ambition that I had almost forgotten recently, but I am d that I was able to break through it before the new year started. I¡¯m going to drift again, aiming for the heavens.
And tomorrow, April 2nd, the first chapter of the Manga will finally be released. I have already read it with my privilege as the original author, but¡ No~, it¡¯s awesome! Come and see for yourself! Earth, Tre¡¯ainar, Princess Beti, Sadiz, and even the father all look great!
Chapter 237: Intermission (Father) â‘£
Previous
Chapter 237 ¨C Intermission (Father) ¢Ü
After chasing and chasing, and finally finding Earth, he stubbornly rejected us and fled with Jamdi¡¯el and the goddess of Cacretale, and a handsome man who is probably of the same race as Jamdi¡¯el.
I heard about thest decade of Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s life in Cacretail. Good things, too. And about that young man named Jos¨¦.
Mamu and I only knew Jamdi¡¯el during the war, so I can¡¯t judge who she is now.
Has she changed, or is she plotting something?
Is Earth being deceived? It seems like he¡¯s not
Does that have anything to do with the fact that Earth was able to use the techniques of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar?
I don¡¯t get it.
That¡¯s why I went after him.
I wanted to know the truth.
I wanted to know his feelings.
And most of all, I wanted to apologize for not being a proper parent.
There¡¯s so much I want to say to him, there¡¯s so much to talk about, so much to discuss, so much to listen to, so much to ask.
But¡¡
¨D¨D But, after all, my father can¡¯t understand what I¡¯m going through.
He doesn¡¯t tell us anything. That one statement, filled with such feelings, gutted me and Mamu.
And neither I nor Mamu could object.
Ever since the Imperial match, we were confronted with the fact that we were morons, that ¡°we don¡¯t know anything, we don¡¯t know what we don¡¯t know¡±.
And then, thinking that there was nothing more to talk about with us idiots, he was about to fly away without looking back.
But¡¡
¡ª Older Brother!
At the words of this little kid who adores him, he has a sad expression, and at the same time, he red at me and Mamu with a look that said, ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡±.
That was all it took, and I knew that Earth loved this kid.
I never thought we¡¯d be jealous of this little girl¡
Then, something unexpected happened.
The goddess girl turned around and said something. Then Earth stopped, turned around, and had a smile on his lips.
Are you up to something?
But, only Jamdi¡¯el had a doubtful look on her face.
Yes, I thought Jamdi¡¯el was in control of the group.
But she wasn¡¯t, was she?
And then, Earth and the others descended to a remote ind that came into view.
It¡¯s as if they¡¯re trying to pick a fight with us.
Earth.
The Goddess.
The Handsome man.
Jamdi¡¯el.
A Pegasus.
A Hippopotamus.
A sense of tension ran through me and Mamu, as we wondered if they were going to fight us like this.
Jamdi¡¯el was there.
I expected that would happen.
Still, the sight of my son facing us alongside Jamdi¡¯el left me with an indescribable pain in my heart.
But, in response to our tense situation¡
¨D¨D I will be Earth¡¯s wife!
¨D¨D Earth Lagan and Lady Kron have already had naked rtions!
No, it¡¯s impossible for me and Mamu not to be surprised.
I had heard from his friends beforehand that Earth, who won the tournament, would marry the goddess of Cacretale, but I didn¡¯t expect her to say it out loud by herself, and even Yamidire.
¨D¨D Let¡¯s bring forth a flower garden in full bloom!
As if to further confuse us, that handsome man magically turned the entire area around our feet into a field of flowers.
Because I didn¡¯t feel any threat or trick in the flowers, I didn¡¯t know what was going on or what the point was.
If this were a battle, I¡¯d just blow it away with a bang, but that¡¯s not the case, and Mamu and I are just confused.
And against us¡
¡ª¡ª Let¡¯s go!
Earth came running toward us.
There was no sign of an attack, no killing intent, no hostility.
But his eyes were aimed at something. I felt his strong will.
And¡..
¡ª¡ª ¡¾Great Demon, Killer, Crossover¡¿!!
Mamu and I saw. No, we were shown.
The realm that the current Earth has reached.
In Cacretale, I heard that Earth had won the tournament, and even fought Jamdi¡¯el and won.
But both Mamu and I thought it was ¡°impossible¡± and assumed that he must have used some kind of trick.
In a way, we knew more about the power of Jamdi¡¯el than the power of Earth.
But I also knew that Jamdi¡¯el was not an opponent one could beat by ¡°trickery alone¡±.
So, we guessed that Earth was stronger than we imagined¡ I thought.
We thought so, but we still didn¡¯t expect him to have reached this level.
We didn¡¯t know.
¡°¡¡ Earth¡¡ your¡¡ movement just now¡¡±
¡°It was ridiculously sharper¡ more than in the Imperial match¡ you¡¡±
Earth¡¡ your Dad has always been able to use the opponent¡¯s strikes, swordsmanship, and magic once he sees them.
I never understand the principle or logic behind them, but I was like, ¡°Oh, this is how it¡¯s done, isn¡¯t it?¡±.
I don¡¯t usually understand such principles and theories ¨C but even I understand this.
¡°You¡ thest few months¡ how long have you been running?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
Earth looked at me with the little girl in his arms, but he doesn¡¯t answer my question.
But even without hearing the answer, I knew this much.
Earth¡¯s steps today weren¡¯t just a matter of practicing techniques or anything like that.
It was bloody effort. He ran and ran and ran, and practiced over and over again to master such a brilliant and powerful move, I could not help but be fascinated.
That¡¯s right, even when I ran out of the Imperial City chasing him after the Imperial match, I always regretted that.
It wasn¡¯t just the Great Magic Spiral.
In the Imperial match, the way he moved, the strength of his fists, and his footwork, were all remarkable.
The movements of the fists and feet that were toying with Rebal. There were no tricks.
Such beautiful form, and finely honed movements, I realized that they were all acquired through hard work.
And now, his new moves were much sharper than the ones he had shown in the Imperial match a few months ago.
Earth was even stronger, and tougher than he had been then, and he kept on running.
Yes, to the point of being able to fight against the Six Supremacy.
Ah, damn¡ why did I¡
¨D¨D How, how was I? I got stronger¡. I, I¡¯m much, I got much¡
¨D¨D Idiot!
¨D¨D Heh!?
¨D¨D What got stronger¡ if you want to be strong, is anything eptable?
Why, at that point¡ I¡.. over and over again, I kept regretting that moment.
¨D¨D So, what¡¯s wrong with me right now? I didn¡¯t cheat, I didn¡¯t y dirty tricks or anything! I trained and studied, I fought with my own strength! Only to have you have to look at me like that! You¡¯ve been ignoring the fact that I¡¯ve hit the wall, that I¡¯m a second generation who is a lost cause, or not good enough. And now that I¡¯ve finallye this far¡ Why!!
Why couldn¡¯t I see his efforts? Even if I didn¡¯t see it, why couldn¡¯t I just tell him? Couldn¡¯t I just give him a little credit?
All that time, constantly¡
¨D¨D Well, you¡¯re the type to grow slowly. Don¡¯t be impatient, hang in there.
How dare I talk like that¡ why did I say something like that to him¡ that¡¯s right¡ that¡¯s why¡¡
¡°Earth¡ I need you to stop¡ talk to me¡ words alone are not enough¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°For real¡ I¡¯ll go all out to catch you¡ I didn¡¯t realize you had be so strong that I can¡¯t catch you if I didn¡¯t get serious¡¡±
You can¡¯t catch me anymore if I¡¯m that serious.
That¡¯s what I had to tell you.
That¡¯s why I¡
¡°That¡¯s right, Earth, your mother is getting serious too. You¡ you¡¯ve already be so much stronger.¡±
We¡¯re¡¡
¡°¡±going all out.¡±¡±
No matter how much I praise him with words, no matter how much I acknowledge him, he won¡¯t believe me anymore.
That¡¯s why I felt I had to convey how serious I am.
To ept him not as a son¡¡ but as a man.
But he¡¯s still¡
¡°Keh, I don¡¯t want acknowledgment at this level¡ I¡¯m not looking for anything that cheap.¡±
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t surpassed anything yet. This is why ¡®we¡¯ aren¡¯t satisfied. I¡¯m not going! Did you think that I, who went so far as to shake off Sadiz¡¯s tears and aim for the world, would be satisfied with such a half-hearted evaluation and go home? You¡¯re going to keep underestimating me, aren¡¯t you?¡±
It¡¯s not about what we think of him, but simply that he is not satisfied with himself yet.
Earth was so strict with himself, he still has high goals and wants to be even stronger.
That figure made me realize that Earth is getting stronger and greater.
And¡..
¡°Kron! Prince!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
¡°Right, Boy!¡±
¡°Okay, here we go!¡±
In the next moment, the eyes of the two people behind Mamu and I lit up, and at the same time, the thick flower petals flew up, blocking our vision.

Chapter 238: Intermission (Maid) â‘£
Chapter 238 ¨C Intermission (Maid) ¢Ü
I¡¯m sorry, Little man.
I said I would talk to the Master and Madam, but they flew off before I could.
Moreover, even Amae jumped onto the saddle.
But that¡¯s how much the Master and Madam, and even Amae, cherish Little man.
No, it¡¯s not just those three.
¡°No way¡Earth¡ even the High Priestess and the Goddess¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Damn it¡¡±
¡°This is¡ it¡¯s too much¡¡±
¡°We¡¯ve be good friends¡ and¡.. I can¡¯t believe even the Goddess and the High Priestess are gone¡ so lonely¡¡±
For the past few months, these four boys have been sweating it out together with Little man as friends and training buddies.
Mortriage¡¯s crew also looked very sad.
However, the one with the saddest face was¡
¡°No way¡ the goddess¡ ah, High Priestess¡¡±
¡°What are we going to do now¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know¡ what will happen to us¡ from now on?¡±
¡°The Goddess can¡¯te back here¡ neither can the High Priestess¡¡±
¡°The High Priestess who always guided us is no more¡¡±
¡°I thought that if he could see Earth and Lady Kron¡¯s son, I would have no regrets in my life¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, even Earth¡ I¡¯ll miss him¡¡±
¡°Ah, seeing Earth running early in the morning has already be a daily routine for me¡¡±
¡°I mean, if I don¡¯t see him, I don¡¯t feel like the day has started¡ like I¡¯m going to give my best for the day¡¡±
¡°Seeing Earth, Lady Kron, and Amae together made me feel really happy¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el and Miss Kron¡ the shock of the residents who lost the two people who had been the heart of the people of Cacretale seemed immense.
The shock shows the magnitude of the presence of the three of them, including Little man.
¡°No way, that Jamdi¡¯el of the Six Supremacy¡ was that much of a presence here¡ moreover¡¡±
Seeing the state of everyone in Cacretale, the princess seemed to be confused.
It¡¯s true, I have already be ustomed to it, but to outsiders it was a most extraordinary sight.
Besides¡¡
¡°Earth has be such an existence¡ in thisnd¡¡±
¡°Yes¡ it¡¯s amazing¡ because people here don¡¯t know Earth as the son of the Hero Hiro or anything like that¡ it means he was so epted and adored just as Earth, wasn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°¡¡ that¡¯s right¡ he was¡¡±
¡°We always had the title ¡®Children of the Seven Heroes¡¯ attached to us, but Earth without it, started from zero to here¡ really¡¡ he¡¯s amazing.¡±
Both Master Rebal and Master Fu seem to be deeply moved as they heard the name of Little man leaking out from the residents.
Yes, that¡¯s right.
Little man made painstaking efforts, and finally achieved results.
Therefore, in just a few months, Little man has be a big enough presence in this Cacretale.
That¡¯s why people who have been affected by him can¡¯t just be sad forever¡ they shouldn¡¯t, right?
¡°Grrrr, this stinking mood can¡¯t go on, oraaaah! It¡¯s no use, he¡¯s gone! A man shouldn¡¯t keep screaming and yelling just because he couldn¡¯t say goodbye!¡±
Look.
¡°Oratski¡¡±
¡°Oratski¡¡±
¡°No, we¡¯re women, but¡¡±
¡°Me too¡¡±
At the sudden sound of Oratski¡¯s angry voice, everyone turned around and looked at each other with a stunned face. But Oratski carried on.
¡°I, it¡¯s not a big deal, Oraah! And, anyway, the important thing is not the goodbye, it¡¯s what happens next time we meet! Don¡¯t you agree, Oraaah!!!¡±
He¡¯s shy, clumsy, and rugged, but his thoughts were¡
¡°We¡¯re going to get stronger! So, this ce will be restored like before¡ no, even better than before! Earth wille back! Stronger and greater! The High Priestess and the Goddess too! If we haven¡¯t changed by then, what¡¯s the point! Don¡¯t keep relying on them! Otherwise, the three of them won¡¯t be able toe home with peace of mind, Oraah!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°This is where the three of them will return to!¡±
That thought certainly struck a chord with everyone.
¡°Exactly.¡±
¡°I guess so!¡±
Then, as if in agreement with Oratski¡¯s words, both Machio and Tsukshi stepped forward and nodded.
¡°If we had been stronger this time, we¡¯d be able to do something about this ¡ if we were more reliable, Master and the Goddess would still be safe here¡ but that didn¡¯t happen. It¡¯s only because we were weak¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why we have to change! Until now, we¡¯ve relied on the High Priestess for everything and we¡¯ve used the Goddess as our heart¡¯s support. But that¡¯s not enough! We have to change¡ we have to be strong¡ and we have to get back on our feet¡ even if just us¡ no, I think it¡¯s going to take more than just us! Not Earth, but spirit and guts!¡±
Maybe, but if Little man hadn¡¯te to this country¡ if these people hadn¡¯t met Little man, I think everyone would have been overwhelmed with the grief of losing Jamdi¡¯el and Kron. No, I am sure they would have been.
But Little man¡ they don¡¯t seem to be just standing around in grief.
It seemed that Little man left something behind in this country.
That¡¯s what makes me proud.
Although¡¡
¡°That¡¯s right, I gotta do it! This is¡ the ce where those three will return!¡±
¡°Uh, yes¡ That¡¯s true¡¡ the next time I see them, I¡¯d be embarrassed if they said that I wasn¡¯t any stronger at all¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s because we¡¯re the best of friends!¡±
Mortriage¡¯s crew were motivated and fired up, but¡ is this the ce where Little man will return to? Hmmm¡ and that best of friends remarks¡
¡°Unh?¡±
¡°The best¡ is it?¡±
¡°Hmm~?¡±
Princess, Rebar, and Fu reacted with a twitch.
¡°Oh~, ahem¡ that¡¡ gentlemen¡ thing is I¡¯m also in love with Earth¡ as for that Kron girl, yes, I can¡¯t say anything anymore, but I¡¯m starting over from this point, and, I don¡¯t have the right to say anything yet, so I gave up a million steps, uh¡ but¡ ¡°
¡°Huh? What is it? We did nothing wrong¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Oraah! Earth is our friend!¡±
¡°We¡¯ve been working hard together.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡±
In the past, the princess would have been the first to respond to Little man¡¯s love affairs, but now she seemed to be holding back.
However, she doesn¡¯t seem to be willing topromise even on the subject of ¡°friends¡±.
¡°We¡¯ve known each other for a long time.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Until today, we¡¯ve been sitting around and passing each other, but¡ we¡¯re going to start all over again!¡±
Both Rebal and Fu look miffed, as if unable to tolerate the remark of being Little man¡¯s ¡°best friend¡±.
I mean, young people of that age are arguing over who is the best friend¡ it¡¯s a bitughable.
But in the midst of all this¡
¡°Hmph, how uncouth of you, Princess Phianse. Because you react to every little thing like that, you annoy Honey¡¡±
A ninja warrior from Japone, who didn¡¯t participate in this conflict at all and kept quiet the whole time¡ Shinobu muttered as if mocking the princess.
To be honest, I don¡¯t know much about her, but apparently, this girl was also into Little man¡ Hmm¡
¡°¡¡ Are you okay?¡±
¡°Huh? Yes, there¡¯s no point in arguing about such things, and Honey would be annoyed too, wouldn¡¯t he? We don¡¯t have to fight over it¡ the next time Honey finds himself in a predicament¡ at that time, the person standing by his side will be Honey¡¯s partner.¡±
Shinobu answers my question confidently. I see. This must be tough for the princess.
Well, as for me¡ now and in the future, the mostplicated thing is that the Great Demon King is the one who¡¯s closest to Little man¡
Even so¡ this girl named Shinobu¡ Hmm¡¡
¡°Fufu¡ well, when is that¡ when Honey¡¯s father and mother are about to catch him? Or is it more dramatic to save him after he¡¯s been captured? No, it¡¯s more likely that Honey would have escaped on his own, and if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯d be a jerk if I showed up¡ would it be better after his father and mother have reported back? If so, a little time would also separate him from that girl named Kron¡ Uh-huh¡ Uh-huh, Honey~ ? I can always rush to you, you know?¡±
With an eerie smile on her face, she muttered¡I don¡¯t know, but it¡¯s tough for Little man too¡
Author¡¯s Note
Fuhahaha, you let your guard down! Surrender yourself to the excitement of the manga release, and post two chapters a day! It¡¯s definitely not because I¡¯m working from home and I¡¯m free! Or rather, working from home is more troublesome. After all, meetings and consultations that can bepleted in three minutes at the office take quite a while at home. I can¡¯t even takepany materials home with me. But I¡¯m sure it¡¯s the same for everyone, so I¡¯ll do my best too!
Chapter 239: Intermission (Female Ninja) â‘¢
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Haven¡¯t posted these in a while due to Personal Family Circumstances. Thanks very much for your patience, as well as your Overwhelming support!
Chapter 239 ¨C Intermission (Female Ninja) ¢Û
My dear Honey, when I saw him again after a few months, he was even more wonderful.
How much more do you have to make me fall in love with you?
When should we have the wedding? Ah, but where are we going to hold the wedding? Japone? The Empire? Or¡¡
¡°Earth is as much a resident of Cacretale as the rest of us!¡±
¡°Wh, wh, wha, what are you talking about! E, Earth was born and raised¡¡±
Honey¡¯s friends and Phianse-hime¡¯s group continue their barren argument.
But that¡¯s right¡ holding the ceremony in a Cacretale is also an option¡ ah, but then the ceremony will be a long time in the future.
Besides, it seems that everyone in the country wants to see Honey and that Kron-san girl get married.
She seems to be the biggest rival at the moment, and she¡¯s a pretty formidable opponent. But, as love is, the stronger the opponent is, the more it burns.
However, be that as it may¡
¡°Fufufu, so young¡ everyone.¡±
What about Sadiz-san who was supposed to be the greatest and strongest obstacle?
Even now, she is looking at Phianse-hime and the others with a somewhat warm gaze.
Like a kind Oneesan. Depending on how you look at her, it also seems to be the leeway of an adult woman.
Compared to me, Kron-san and Phianse-hime, it seems like she¡¯s taking a step back¡ but¡¡
¡°So¡ Ms. Sadiz¡¡±
¡°Yes?¡±
¡°What about you?¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°So¡ don¡¯t you¡ think of Honey¡ like we do?¡±
So I decided to ask.
I didn¡¯t join the fight between Phianse-hime and his friends, but to Sadiz-san¡
¨D¨DAre you okay?
I wanted to ask that question as well.
And Sadiz-san didn¡¯t budge at all¡
¡°What do you think? That I have no feelings for Little man? It can¡¯t be true, can it?¡±
¡°Eh¡¡±
¡°I adore him¡ more than anyone else in the world¡¡±
Maybe this person¡¯s feelings are not love.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡ fufufu, that attitude¡ aren¡¯t you too rxed?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m anxious, right? The thought of my precious and beloved Little man being taken away from me¡ is unpleasant¡ uh. But the trouble is, I want my Little man to be happy above all else. I think that¡¯s most important, so¡¡±
¡°¡¡ go on¡¡±
¡°Err, if you can make him happier than I can, then¡ I would still¡ but¡ª¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t make him happier than I can, maybe I¡¯ll not just stay silent either, you know? Ufufufufufu.¡±
That charming smile which made even me, a woman, unintentionally feel a little excited, was enough for me to recognize that this person was also the greatest and strongest obstacle for me.
I felt a bit of a cold sweat down my back.
She¡¯sing at me with a smile that puts incredible pressure on me.
As if to say, ¡°No matter what, I won¡¯t give my Little man to a woman who can¡¯t make him happy¡±.
Besides, what she just said¡
¨D¨DNo matter how much I¡¯ve fallen for him, I still just met him. If there¡¯s a woman he¡¯s had long-standing feelings for and can¡¯t forget¡ if that woman would make him happier than me¡ I was thinking of silently stepping aside, but¡
Is this some kind of a backhanded way of getting back at me, for back then?
Or a restraint?
Either way¡
¡°Fu¡ Fufu, excellent. I won¡¯t lose. Not to Princess Phianse, or Kron ¡ not even to you.¡±
¡°Oh, dear! Amae wasn¡¯t mentioned, was she?¡±
¡°Is it the little girl who jumped ahead earlier? But she¡¯s like a little sister to him, isn¡¯t she?¡±
¡°Fufufufu, but my Little man loved her so much¡ and with how she cried like that¡ Little man might get a little flustered too?. Also Little man fell for me when he was about Amae¡¯s age now, I¡¯m sure she will be very¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
Well, I¡¯m not one to be intimidated by something like this.
That¡¯s why I¡¯d also like to join up with Honey as soon as possible to be more intimate¡ but keep a distance that won¡¯t be annoying to him¡ it¡¯s still a bit of a pain¡
But I will never¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Hmm~¡ he¡¯s quite popr¡ even though he¡¯s a lousy guy who made his sister cry¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±Huh!?¡±¡±¡±
How long have you been there!?
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
No, did they appear from out of nowhere?
Behind me and Sadiz-san, that person¡
¡°Wh-wh-huh?¡±
Someone was standing behind me.
There should have been no one there.
Impossible. No matter what, I didn¡¯t notice the presence until I was approached to this distance?
No. It¡¯s as if they ¡°suddenly appeared¡±¡
¡°A man who makes his little sister cry is scum¡ so, no matter what he does, even if he hit her, he knocked her down, or did anything else¡ why is such a man so popr?¡±
A woman was standing there.
She had long brown hair tied back to the back of her head with a ¡°slightly tattered white ribbon¡±, and seemed older than her age, somewhat cute but also mature.
She¡¯s not fat, but moderately plump and alluring with attractive thighs, buttocks and b, b, breast, hey, s, sorge¡
Wearing a white coat-like mantle, she does not look like an inhabitant of this country in terms of atmosphere.
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
As soon as I jumped backwards in surprise to open the distance, Sadiz-san remained standing there stunned, looking surprised to see the person.
And¡..
¡°Ah¡ you¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, it¡¯s been a while, little Sadiz.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Do they know each other? With Sadiz-san? What¡¯s more, with the ¡°little¡± ¡ don¡¯t tell me, is she older than Sadiz-san?
¡°Huh? What¡¯s the fuss about? Hey, Sadiz. Who¡¯s she? That woman?¡±
¡°Oraah, miss¡ who are you? I¡¯ve never seen you before¡¡±
Phianse-hime and the others, who seemed to have noticed something unusual, stopped their quarrel and rushed over to us.
However, Honey¡¯s friends and the Phianse-hime group don¡¯t seem to know this woman who suddenly appeared.
However¡.
¡°Fufu~mh. You must be Phianse dear, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Solja¡¯s brat, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°And you¡¯re Rebal!¡±
¡°¡¡¡±
¡°The cutie is Fu, right?¡±
¡°Ah¡um¡how do you know us?¡±
She seems to know the Phianse-hime group.
Furthermore, she looked at me¡
¡°So, are you the girl from Japone? How is ¡®Kojiro¡¯ doing?¡±
¡°Huh!? Kojiro¡ Lord¡ ¡®Kojiro¡¯?¡±
No way, to ask for Kojiro-sama, one of the Seven Heroes¡ who in the world is this person¡
¡°Hey, Sadiz, who is this woman? Do you know her? Why is she talking about us¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ ha, yes¡ this person is¡ the same Seven Heroes as His Majesty and the Master¡ª¡ª ¡°
And just Sadiz-san was about to tell us who this woman was¡
¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry. To be honest, I wanted to talk more slowly¡ but¡¡ from what I¡¯ve heard, it looks like the man who made his sister cry is running around¡ I just want to chase him down and smack him up right away, so I¡¯ll be going now, okay?¡±
¡°Huh? What? What do you mean? Ah, wait!¡±
¡°It was supposed to be ¡®today¡¯ ¡ but it seems I was just a little off, so I¡¯m really troubled¡¡±
Even though she had just appeared, the woman waved to us with a childlike carefree smile and left just like that¡ eh?
¡°Wh¡ Huh? What?¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°Eh¡ how¡?¡±
The woman was not a Seraph. So, some manner of magic?
But she didn¡¯t seem to be casting any spells.
¡°Fufu, see youter, little Sadiz. You too Phianse dear and friends.¡±
And yet, that woman floated lightly¡ and flew in the sky¡
¡°Where the hell are you going? What? And where have you been all this time! Master has been looking for you all along¡ what is the meaning of your sudden appearance? Sister ¡®Espie¡¯!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eehh!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I don¡¯t know her, and neither do Phianse-hime, Rebal-kun, or Fu-kun.
But I do know that ¡°name¡± that was shouted from the mouth of a very upset Sadiz-san.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, little Sadiz, but¡ over a decade ago¡ I¡¯ve decided that I won¡¯t forgive any man who makes his sister cry, no matter what. So¡.. I¡¯m going to beat up your precious Little man too.¡±
¡°What!? Wait¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°For now, I know where we¡¯re going next¡ I¡¯m going ahead. Ah¡ but first¡ should I smack that red head with one hit first? Fufufu, I won¡¯t let him get away either way!¡±
And she flew away in a sh, leaving us only confusion, without telling us what she meant or why she had appeared.
No, really¡ what¡¯s going on?

Chapter 240: Serves You Right
Chapter 240 ¨C Serves You Right
¡°Storm of flower petals, soar!¡±
A flower field was in full bloom all around. Suddenly, petals flew up, covering the vision of father and mother.
This was not an attack. But, even so, father and mother, now more serious than before, were not so perturbed.
¡°Dereaaaaahh!!!!¡±
My father roared. Just a bark. But¡¡
¡°Huh!? Ah¡ o, oooh!¡±
¡°If you¡¯re going to blind me, you¡¯ll need a Terra-ss spell!¡±
The barrage created by the prince by magic. He blew it away with just a bark.
Even the prince was shaken by the overwhelming roar.
But¡¡
¡°Fufu, superb, but¡ why bring terra-ss? This is no ¡®battle¡¯, I believe.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah?¡±
¡°Also, is the flower garden still not spreading?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm? ¡¡ huh!?¡±
Breaking off the barrage of petals, my parents took another look at the prince, and the next moment they were surely taken aback.
The prince¡¯s shining eyes¡
¡°Th, that¡¯s!¡±
¡°A Heraldic Eye!? Just like Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s!?¡±
In the past, father and mother constantly fought Jamdi¡¯el, so they must be familiar with her eyes well.
But the prince just shed his eyes¡
¡°Seriously¡ is it because he¡¯s of the same race as Jamdi¡¯el? But¡¡±
¡°But if we get distracted by this, Earth will escape¡ no choice! Hiro, please handle this!¡±
¡°Mamu!?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll get Earth! So, those three, including Jamdi¡¯el¡ª¡ª¡±
Right now, father and mother were right in between us.
And if neither of us can be ignored, the roles will inevitably be divided.
But¡¡
¡°A beautiful rose¡ take out the thorns, and it will be just a beautiful flower! Wind Flower Fog!¡±
Instead of attacking, the prince dared to keep letting only a barrage of petals dance.
¡°tte, we were still in the middle of talking!¡±
¡°Oh, damn it!! And there are more petals than before¡ then, I¡¯ll use all my magic power and¡ I can¡¯t blow them all away¡¡±
¡°Of course not! If you seriously blow it all away, you¡¯ll take out the whole ind!? Not just Earth, even that Amae girl!¡±
¡°Yeah, anyway, we just have to deal with that handsome man!¡±
¡°Hiro!?¡±
¡°Anyway, these flower petals won¡¯t do any damage, so I can plunge straight into it andnd one shot¡¡±
¡°Hey, you¡¯re too straightforward¡¡±
¡°Mamu, keep an eye on Earth! It would be troublesome if he ran off in the gap of this barrage with the steps he just used! Keep your eyes open!¡±
¡°Geez¡¡±
Battle¡¡ if we attack, father and mother will act on instinct instead of thinking with their heads, and if that happens, we will all lose for sure.
Tre¡¯ainar affirmed that.
If this is the case, the premise of not starting a fight will continue.
We would not let my brainless parents get into a fighting mood, make them think with their inferior brains, upset them, and not give them time to set things up.
In addition, they can¡¯t even take simple actions like ¡°just blow it all away¡± out of concern for me and Amae.
Then, will they force their way straight in and hit the prince to stop him?
Before they even tried toe that way¡
¡°Fufufu, which is the real one?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Now, let¡¯s see if you can find the real prince?.¡±
Kron¡¯s Daybreak Eyes glowed.
¡°Wh, hold on, what the, that girl has a magic eye too?! But those eyes¡ what?¡±
¡°Six-Gate Eyes? No¡ that¡¯s¡ eh!?¡±
Then, one moment father and mother are wide-eyed at the sight of Kron¡¯s evil eye, and the next, they¡¯re¡
¡°So, what will thou do with me?¡±
¡°¡±¡.. What the!?¡±¡±
The prince with a refreshing smile appeared as hundreds of illusions.
¡°This is¡ no way!¡±
¡°An Illusion Technique!?¡±
Spectacrly, father and mother were at their mercy.
If this were also a battle, he might have blown away the entire area regardless of the petals or illusions, or used their wild intuition to identify the real thing in an instant.
But, with the prince and Kron still not attacking, my father and mother have not been able to decide whether to seriously fight back against them.
I see. If you put them on their heels, this is one way to fight.
And if ites to this¡
¡°Seriously¡ in the face of my nemesis and sworn enemy, to only give me such a role¡ Earth Lagann¡ unless thou bond with Lady Kron, I truly will not forgive thee.¡±
She can¡¯t use magic. She can¡¯t even use her Magic Eye. But still¡¡
¡°Even so, it¡¯s been too long¡ since I have ridden a Pegasus. Phew~¡¡ Hiho!¡±
As a Seraph, only her skill to ride a Pegasus was still going strong.
While father and mother were stopped in their tracks against the prince who had split into numerous alters due to confetti and Kron¡¯s Illusion Technique, Jamdi¡¯el straddled the pegasus that the prince was riding and rushed forward alone.
¡°Huh!? Whoa¡¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ ising!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el riding a pegasus ran through.
As expected, the color of their eyes changed as both father and mother reacted to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s movements¡ but¡¡
¡°It¡¯s unfortunate, but¡ I cannot end thee as of yet.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Even Jamdi¡¯el, their nemesis, did not attack father and mother.
¡°Ha, fast!¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
It seemed that father and mother reacted to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s movements and thought of restraining her, but Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡°Wow¡¡±
¡°What beautiful riding posture¡¡±
Kron and the prince gasped¡
¡ºHoh~, Jamdi¡¯el¡ apparently you were pursuing my riding form as well.¡»
With a beautiful riding form that received Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s approval, she rode her mount to its full potential, ran it faster than father and mother could intercept, and headed for me and Amae¡
¡°Or rather¡ j, just now, even though she had a chance, she didn¡¯t attack us at all!?¡±
¡°Hey, and¡ n, now¡ How Jamdi¡¯el rode the horse ¡¡ somewhere¡¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure¡ a long time ago¡¡±
¡°Ah! That¡¯s right! At a horse race! A mysterious horse and jockey who won the Imperial Derby with overwhelming strength¡ the unidentified masked jockey riding Fuka Impact¡ ¡®Taketoyo¡¯ or something like that!¡±
¡°Ah yes! They won the race with the greatest winning ticket in history¡ why would Jamdi¡¯el!?¡±
Father and mother who looked absurdly surprised.
I don¡¯t think it¡¯s all that surprising¡
¡ºAh, incidentally, I was that Taketoyo in disguise?.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
I¡¯m not surprised anymore! Even if there was a scious and outrageous fact.
And that¡¯s why I¡¯m not surprised, so I still held Amae in my arms¡
¡°Earth Lagann! Amae! Get on!¡±
¡°Oh, good job!¡±
¡°Oh! High Priestess!¡±
I grabbed Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s hand as she ran towards me and jumped behind her.
¡°Hey, you!? Earth! H, hey!¡±
¡°Wait, you! O, of all people, to get behind someone like¡!¡±
Hearing the screams of father and mother, Jamdi¡¯el sent Pegasus flying far into the sky¡
¡°Peeeeeee!!!!
¡°Eehh!?¡±
At the same time, one of the many princes who had multiplied by the illusion sounded his finger whistle.
In response to the sound, the Pegasus, who had carried father and mother all the way here, rushed to the prince.
¡°Fufufu, originally this one is also a Pegasus of the Seraph¡ that¡¯s right!¡±
Saying that, the prince jumped on the Pegasus that ran up to him.
¡°Come, let us depart too!¡±
¡°Yes, Hilly!¡±
¡°Leave it to me!¡±
The next moment, Hilua with Kron on board also flew into the sky with the prince and Pegasus.
¡°Hey, wait! Where are you guys¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah!? Hiro! Oh, we¡¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ ah!!¡±
Yes, my father and mother finally came to understand their situation.
They can¡¯t fly. They forced a Pegasus to bring them here with guts, but now the prince was riding it.
In short¡¡
¡°Hey, wait, you guys! Are you trying to run away!¡±
¡°Jamdi¡¯el! You, fight fair and square! Why are you going away again, Earth!¡±
That¡¯s right. They had no way to fly anymore. There was no means of chasing us.
Or rather, if this happens, someone would have toe to this remote ind to pick them up, or they would have to swim to get off the ind.
¡°Daaamn it! No matter what, I¡¯ll chase you down! Even if it means swimming through the ocean!¡±
¡°Yes, we¡¯ll do it!¡±
And sure enough, that brain-muscle couple dered they would swim after us with gusto.
Certainly, if it¡¯s father and mother, they might be able to swim after us in flight.
But¡¡
¡°Now, Kron! I¡¯m counting on you!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Assuming they swim after us at a hundred paces¡¡±which us¡± would they chase after?
The moment I gave Kron the signal, she raised her hands and made a circle above her head¡
¡°Come on, Earth¡¯s parents¡ can your eyes¡ properly discern what¡¯s going on? Heeere~ Gooooes~?!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
Kron¡¯s eyes lit up. At that moment, me, Amae, Jamdi¡¯el, and her Pegasus¡ the prince and his Pegasus¡ Kron and Hilua¡
¡°Geh¡ what the heck!?¡±
¡°No, way¡¡±
It was the same illusions as the prince alter egos from earlier.
But, it¡¯s so borate and intense an illusion that it is indistinguishable from the real thing at a quick nce.
Hundreds more illusions that looked just like all of us appeared all over the sky, and flew apart in every direction.
¡°Ah¡ oh, ah¡ aaaaaahh!!¡±
¡°Kuh, this is bad! And, this illusion¡ it¡¯s so strong!¡±
¡°What a trick¡ shit¡¡ I was so surprised and shaken, it took me several seconds to undo it!?¡±
¡°Uh¡ ah¡ he¡¯s already so far away¡ ah, no! What am I doing! It¡¯s basic that you don¡¯t make eye contact with a Magic Eye Owner and the Illusion User in ¡®battle¡¯¡ thoroughly¡¡±
They can¡¯t even focus on the target.
As a result, we all got away unscathed and not only was Amae taken away from father and mother, even the means to track us down was taken.
Yes, ording to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s strategy, we didn¡¯t let father and mother ¡°fight¡± from start to finish.
I roped in the two people who said that they were going to get serious, so that they couldn¡¯t get serious.
As a result, we trapped those two in a fantasy, making them look like morons, and toyed with them.
¡ºFufufufufu, fuhahahahahahaha! Such ridicule! How pathetic, Hiro! Mamu! Fuhahaha, how do you feel? How does it feel?¡»
By my side, Tre¡¯ainar couldn¡¯t have been happier.
But I understand that feeling.
I was able to do exactly what I wanted from start to finish, and for the first time in my life, I was able to y with those two after showing them a glimpse of my power.
It felt good.
Actually, it may be a bad influence to say that with an innocent child like Amae in my arms, but¡ I¡¯m sorry¡ I can¡¯t help myself.
¡°Kuhaha, how about that! Did you see that, Father! Mother! Serves you right~~~!!!!¡±
I couldn¡¯t hold back myughter as the two stood there looking like they had eaten a bitter bug on a remote ind.
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯m d that chapter 1 of the manga has received various favorablements. Please continue to support Eto Yona-sensei.
Also, I have a new work in the link below, and I will update it frequently for a while, but it is a story of about 100,000 characters that has already been written topletion, not in the process of writing. So, please, ¡°Don¡¯t write such a useless work, write the forbidden one¡± or ¡°Is it okay to write a new work and do this? Again?¡± Or ¡°Are you posting a Nocturne version out of frustration that you are not allowed to get intimate with anyone due to the current circumstances? Oh, you never had such a partner in the first ce, did you?¡± I¡¯ve already finished writing that story. I am still writing the story of the Forbidden Master-Disciple.
I mean, when you see Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s full-blown triumphant face, which was so dignified in the first chapter of the manga, and the name of thedder training, it will motivate you.
Chapter 241: The Last Hurdle
Chapter 241 ¨C The Last Hurdle
I left a throwaway line for my father and mother, and with a sense of aplishment that everything worked out so well, I was smiling.
¡°Hmph¡ thou art in an awfully good mood, Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Maybe.¡±
¡°Well, I too feel somewhat content¡¡±
My father and mother had unbelievable expressions.
Well, if we fought properly, we would have lost, but we were able to escape like this after toying with them as much as we wanted.
Most of all, I, the son of my father and mother, am riding behind Jamdi¡¯el, who was also their sworn enemy.
No wonder they had that look on their faces.
Well, the one who is smiling the most is¡
¡ºFufufufu, but those two were most uncouth. If they were humans, they would be at the peak of their prime at their current age. Right? Child. Am I not their better? Say? Child.¡»
Seeing that my parents hadpletely fallen to the strategy that he hade up with, Tre¡¯ainar still couldn¡¯t contain his cheerfulughter.
Thinking back, ever since we met, this guy has always said, ¡°I would have won one-on-one! I¡¯m better.¡±. He was always so stubborn, so maybe he¡¯s just happy to get rid of some of that resentment.
¡°But¡ they were strong. The boy¡¯s parents. One could tell just by standing before them. Truly, I¡ if things didn¡¯t go as intended¡ I doubt we could win in a proper fight.¡±
¡°Prince?¡±
¡°That was¡ the hero who defeated the Jamdi¡¯el¡ and the Great Demon King, whom she once served¡ those two¡ we, of the Heavenly World, were taken in Paripi¡¯s honeyed words to go to war.¡±
On the other hand, the prince looked back on what just happened with a wry smile and muttered with deep emotion.
¡ºBy a cowardly hand~¡»
While knowing that the Prince can¡¯t hear his murmur, Tre¡¯ainar uttered a retort. He¡¯s always persistent on this point¡
¡°Hmph. God ¡ would not have been defeated. Of course, he was brought down by a cowardly move.¡±
¡°¡¡ Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why¡ a new God¡ a god for the next generation must be born as soon as possible¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el muttered while being a little annoyed by the prince¡¯s words, and I thought I saw something murky on her back.
I guess it¡¯s meant to put pressure on me, who¡¯s riding behind her¡
¡°I¡¯m d I was able to say hello to Earth¡¯s father and mother. But, I would like to greet them more slowly and formally someday. Right¡¡ if I can get Earth to like me and be Earth¡¯s bride¡ that would be?¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡±
¡°Oh, and then I will have to call those two ¡®Father-inw¡¯ and ¡®Mother-inw¡¯, right?¡±
¡°C,e now, that part is still a long way off, so there is no need to think about it right now¡¡±
¡°But just thinking about it makes me happy. It makes me want to do my best. Because, to do that¡I have to work hard and grow up to make Earth like me¡ isn¡¯t that right?¡±
Right? I¡¯d be embarrassed if you showed me such an innocent smile, but¡
¡°Lady Kron¡ I am impressed that thou have nned thy future so well. Well, for my part, Lady Kron officially greeting those two leaves me conflicted, but¡¡±
¡°Hmm, don¡¯t say that, Jamdi¡¯el. Besides, if Earth and I get married, Jamdi¡¯el¡ as my mother, you¡¯ll be rted to Earth¡¯s parents, right?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡ Hah?¡±
¡°And if I give birth to Earth¡¯s child, Jamdi¡¯el will also be a grandmother! With Earth¡¯s parents, who will be grandparents, everyone will get along well¡ Hmmm~, it¡¯s a wonderful future just thinking about it.¡±
Hmmm, those eyes are zing¡ what is that¡¡ it¡¯s different from Shinobu.
Shinobu makes me feel some insanity and a sense that she will never let me escape from her future ns.
But Kron is really pure, how can I say it, she¡¯s really good-natured, or rather, a natural airhead, and I don¡¯t know how serious she is, but she seems really serious about this¡
In conclusion, Shinobu and Kron, I can¡¯t help but feel embarrassed by them!
¡°L, Lady Kron, so you call me thy mother¡ how discourteous of me¡ or rather, me, a g, gra, grandmother¡ t, this me¡¡±
And Jamdi¡¯el was also very shaken at Kron¡¯s ¡°grandmother¡± remark.
Well, I don¡¯t know how old she is, but she looks so young, so it¡¯s probably a shock¡
¡°Fufufufu, is this really Jamdi¡¯el¡ If only I could have shown this appearance to the boy¡¯s parents, they might have believed me normally.¡±
¡°Wh, what the heck, prince¡¡±
¡°Well, or perhaps¡¡ it¡¯s the boy that¡¯s changed¡ in any case, thy power is also sealed, and if it is the current Jamdi¡¯el¡ I suppose I¡¯ll have no problem¡ releasing thee, thou may go far away as thou please.¡±
This time, Jamdi¡¯el was released at the prince¡¯s discretion.
The prince was taking all the responsibility on behalf of the Heavenly World, but he smiled as if somewhat satisfied that his decision was the right one.
But¡¡
¡°Uh~¡¡ no¡.. too far¡ not going¡ no way.¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re going away¡ no way!¡±
At that moment, a single weak, sad murmur brought me back to reality.
That¡¯s right¡
¡°Amae¡¡±
¡°No¡ won¡¯t let you, I won¡¯t!¡±
Between me and Jamdi¡¯el, she wrapped her arms and legs around my body and tightly clung to me, burying her face in my chest and groaning without showing her face to anyone. It was Amae, who I had taken away from my parents.
She chased after us, crying, but even aftering into our arms, she still cried, got angry, sulked, and whined, not convinced of anything.
¡°High Priestess, Goddess, and Older brother, don¡¯t go. I want us all to be together.
¡°Amae¡ don¡¯t cry¡¡±
¡°Mu, nuh¡¡±
¡°Amae¡ please don¡¯t cry¡¡±
¡°A, Amae, you shouldn¡¯t cry, Amae is cute when she¡¯s smiling.¡±
To Amae¡¯s wish, I, Jamdi¡¯el, Kron, and even Hilua can only give troubled responses.
¡°Nooooo! We have to be together!¡±
Not only is it sad, but the strength in the arms and legs that clung to me makes me feel the will to ¡°never leave¡±.
But¡¡
¡°Just being away for a while doesn¡¯t mean we¡¯ll nevere back¡ me, Kron, and Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°¡¡ n¡¡ Gusu¡¡ no!¡±
¡°Elder Sis Tsukshi, Karui, Mr. Machio, the sisters of the church¡ also, Mortriage¡¯s crew already think of you like a little sister by now¡ even the guys in the dojo. You have a lot of people who take good care of you and love you¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°But¡ but, Older Brother ¡ don¡¯t want¡ no¡¡±
I didn¡¯t get a chance to say goodbye properly, and my original goal was to only say goodbye to Amae properly, and that¡¯s what I worked hard with my parents for.
But, persuading this spoiled child might be a more challenging final hurdle than outwitting father and mother, so I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, and Jamdi¡¯el, Kron, and then Hilua and the prince were all looking at me withplicated expressions.
I mean, even Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t know what to say to deal with Amae¡

Chapter 242: Strong
Patreon Sponsored chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!
Chapter 242 ¨C Strong
I was appeasing Amae, who was sobbing.
¡°Hey, don¡¯t cry, oh~, it¡¯s not like we¡¯re saying goodbye forever. It¡¯s just for a while¡¡±
¡°Uh, gus, when is a while? Is it tomorrow? ¡¡ the day after tomorrow? ¡ more?¡±
¡°¡¡ th, that¡¯s¡¡±
How pathetic, I¡¯m at a loss for words.
I can¡¯t exin the difficult circumstances to Amae. But that doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t make promises like ¡°for how long¡± without much thought.
I can¡¯t say, ¡°I¡¯ll see you again soon.¡± either.
Whenever my father and mother broke their promise to me, they would always say ¡°next time¡±, but the next time never¡
¡°¡¡ Amae¡¡ stop crying.¡±
¡°High Priestess¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forever remain a child.¡±
¡°Uh~¡±
Wait, Jamdi¡¯el? You, what are you saying to my little sister!
Amae is still such a child¡
¡°Do thou think that you can always be spoiled because thou art unfortunate to not have blood-rted parents?¡±
¡°¡¡ High¡ Priestess?¡±
¡°Nothing about that makes thee special. Neither Tsukshi, nor Karui, nor the other girls¡ no, in any part of this world¡ there are so many in simr circumstances as thee¡ who lead more miserable lives out there, swept away and discarded.¡±
Holding the reins and looking straight ahead, Jamdi¡¯el dared to speak harshly to Amae, who was clinging to my chest.
Those words gouged Amae even more.
¡°Thou have been indulged and pampered until now, not because thou art special. Simply put, Machio, who took thou in after having lost thy parents and without a soul to care for thee, even Tsukshi, and Karui, just so happened to be good-natured.¡±
¡°Oh¡ uh¡¡±
¡°This world is not so sweet a world that thou alone art allowed to be spoiled or selfish.¡±
I don¡¯t know how far such a small and young Amae can understand Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words.
But at the very least, she must have understood that Jamdi¡¯el was speaking harsh words.
Because Amae was trembling so much.
This dark woman¡¡ shall I kick her from behind and drop her?
¡ºChild¡¡»
¡¸Eh¡ I know¡¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar murmured as if to admonish me, but I also understood.
To be honest, I¡¯m not sure how much I can do to convince Amae, except tofort her and make promises that I can¡¯t guarantee.
Of course, the same goes for Kron, who loves Amae as much as I do.
If I really want to persuade Amae, I have to teach her the reality.
Even if it makes Amae cry more.
And Jamdi¡¯el volunteered to take on the role herself.
¡°Then¡ High Priestess, Goddess¡ Older Brother too¡ will go away and note back?¡±
¡°I¡¯m going somewhere. I¡¯m not saying we will never return, but¡ I can¡¯t easily say we¡¯ll return anytime soon.¡±
¡°Uu, no! No! No! I don¡¯t like it! Take Amae with you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible, I won¡¯t take thee.¡±
¡°Why! No! We all have to be together! Why are you leaving me here!¡±
Finally, Amae released her hold on me, who she was clinging to, and turned around and rocked Jamdi¡¯el back and forth as she steered the horse.
¡°You don¡¯t ¡¡ like Amae anymore?! Amae is¡ an unwanted child?¡±
She¡¯s probably the only child in the world who can do such a thing to Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡°Why would I leave thee? Because thou art a small child and weak.¡±
¡°¡¡ because¡¡ a child?¡±
¡°Yes. Due to circumstances, Lady Kron and I can no longer live with everyone and we must go far away. From now on, I and Lady Kron¡ must do all we can just to protect ourselves. I cannot even protect thee.¡±
Those words are too obvious, but in the end, that was the only answer.
It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t like her. I can¡¯t hate her.
But why would I leave everyone? That¡¯s because I can¡¯t protect them.
Why leave Amae? Because she is a small, weak child with no power.
Yes, because she¡¯s a kid¡
¡¸Me too¡¡¹
¡ºChild?¡»
¡¸So clearly¡ if it¡¯s true¡¡¹
In order not to keep a small, weak child from crying. I don¡¯t say such harsh words if I can help it.
Even if I tried to persuade her, in the end, all I could say was ¡°I¡¯ll make it up to you,¡± ¡°Next time¡¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry,¡± and so on, just like my father and mother did to me.
¡ºTis so. If you merely love them and pamper them, they would be no better than pets.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºEven if you get angry at times, and even if you have to hit them depending on the situation, some things must be said after serious consideration, Hence why both Hiro and Mamu are ill-prepared to be parents. Well, they themselves are aware of their own faults in being too busy to be decent parents¡ rather than scolding you for running away from home and doing as you please, they were trying to apologize first.¡»
I guess I¡¯m a boomerang after all.
¡°Amae¡ is what Jamdi¡¯el¡¡ what the High Priestess saying difficult?¡±
¡°¡¡ Older Brother?¡±
I¡¯m not ready to be an Older Brother either. Realizing this, I smiled wryly and took Amae into my arms once more.
¡°If you don¡¯t understand, then you need to get big and strong enough to understand what it means. Don¡¯t just keep getting spoiled by your sisters and uncles. Someday, when you grow up to make Jamdi¡¯el and Kron bow their heads and say, ¡°Amae, pleasee with us¡± or ¡°Please stay with us¡±¡ I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll all be together again.¡±
¡°Get stronger? Can I be strong? ¡like Big Sisters?¡±
¡°Yeah, and even more. Elder Sis Tsukshi and Mr. Machio¡ they¡¯re trying to get stronger and bigger now. So that we can all be together again. Amae, you need to see that hard work and realize it for yourself.¡±
That¡¯s right. Mr. Machio, Elder Sis Tsukshi, and the guys in the dojo all vowed to do so when we said goodbye.
I am sure that everyone in Cacretale has understood that feeling.
Even Mortriage and the others should have received that intention.
That¡¯s why even Amae, who had been spoiled by everyone for being such a small thing until now¡
¡°Everyone¡¯s trying to do their best to make that happen. So, Amae, let¡¯s do our best too, shall we?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know¡ but¡¡ if Amae gets bigger, will everyone stay together? Really? Will it be fine if Amae gets stronger?¡±
¡°Please be strong, Amae, so even when everyone is together, there¡¯ll be nothing to worry about. Then I¡¯ll definitely rely on you. And I can say ¡®Older Brother is useless without Amae!''¡±
In order to make her stronger¡
¡°I¡¯ll work hard too. I¡¯ll get stronger. Kron too. Isn¡¯t that right?¡±
¡°Of course! Amae, I am also weak. That¡¯s why I will be stronger. To protect what is precious to me. To be able to protect it. I have to work hard from now on.¡±
I gave Amae a big smile and called out to Kron, who nodded as well.
¡°¡¡ Older Brother¡ Goddess¡ Amae is¡ uh¡ ugh~¡¡¡±
As expected, Amae did not understand and ept everything.
She groaned with a difficult look on her face.
But, her growl was different from the sorrow and tantrums of before.
¡°Think about it slowly. Your Older Brother is still weak and I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t fulfill Amae¡¯s wish¡ also¡ for lying¡ I¡¯m really sorry.¡±
¡°Older Brother¡ is strong¡¡±
¡°I need to get stronger.¡±
¡°Uh, uh~¡¡ ugh~¡¡ I have to do even more, right?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
Before I knew it, Amae was growling hard as she thought hard about the meaning of our words.

Everyone, are you in good health? It¡¯s a scary world, but don¡¯t go out unreasonably, take care of your health, stay indoors as much as possible, read my novels, and if you feel like it, send a drill. In the past few days, maybe because of the manga effect, my butt feels good with a lot of drills¡ my butt was on fire, and I was actually trying to calm down and take it easy, but I ended up updating. Thank you.

Chapter 243: Someone That Can Only Be Protected
Previous
Chapter 243 ¨C Someone That Can Only Be Protected
I was kind of tired.
I went on a rampage in the Heavenly World, fought the Prince and the King of the Heavens, battled Paripi, and outwitted my parents.
Then, we all made a pledge with Amae to work harder and be stronger.
I was at my limit.
I myself lost the thread of tension and my consciousness¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Hmm~¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, still sleepy, Boy?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
That? I¡¡ I was sleeping!?
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Hey, hey, that¡¯s dangerous. Any sudden movements, and thou might fall off?¡±
If I¡¯m not mistaken, I should have been riding behind Jamdi¡¯el with Amae in my arms.
But, what I heard now was the voice of the prince.
And it¡¯s a little chilly and the wind cuts through my skin. Are we still in the sky?
What¡¯s going on¡
¡°Prince¡?¡±
¡°Hey, good morning.¡±
¡°¡¡ wh, wha¡ de?¡±
¡°Fufufu, Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t want thee leaning on her¡ that¡¯s why I supported thee as thou slept.¡±
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the Prince¡¯s smiling face as he looked down at me.
¡°Huh!? Nuo!? Oh, I¡¯m in what position¡ Huh!?¡±
¡°Oh, hey, thou struggle is unsafe¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Still the sky? On horseback? Am I being princess carried by the Prince?
I don¡¯t understand the situation yet, but at any rate, I felt like I was in an embarrassing position, and I twisted around in a panic.
But, because of the position I was in, I soon lost my bnce, slipped out of the prince¡¯s arms, and almost fell off the horse.
¡°Nuo, not there!¡±
I hurriedly reached out my hands and grabbed the prince¡¯s body.
But¡¡
¡°Hyauuun!¡±
¡°Ueh!?¡±
¡°Oh¡ b, boy, uh, huh, th, that¡¯s a no-go area!?¡±
I quickly grabbed the Prince¡¯s body, but my right hand slipped between the buttons of the Prince¡¯s jacket¡ oh? Somehow, something firm or soft or subtle¡ ah? My left hand stuck inside the Prince¡¯s trousers and ¡¡ hmm? Huh? Nothing¡¡ is there?
¡°Mmm, Boy¡ I¡¯m used to interacting with girls, but¡ this is the first time I¡¯ve been touched by a boy¡¡±
¡°Ah, eh, ah¡ Prince¡¡±
And,e to think of it¡ aside from that, I can feel the Prince in both my hands¡
¡°Oh? Earth, aren¡¯t you touching the Prince too much?¡±
¡°Older brother, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Nu? Hey, Earth Lagann, what art thy hands doing at such a time! If it¡¯s such intimacy thou desires, Lady Kron is here!¡±
Kron and Amae had scowling faces, and Jamdi¡¯el a jittery look.
Huh? When did Amae end up in Kron¡¯sp and on Hilua¡¯s back?
I mean, I should have been riding behind Jamdi¡¯el, but now I¡¯m with the Prince? Why?
No¡¡ I don¡¯t care about that, to be clear.
The important thing is that now, the handsome Prince who was now smiling bitterly with red cheeks as he made eye contact with me¡ no¡¡ the handsome¡¡ p, princess¡
¡°Don¡¯t tell my lovely flowers about this. If they find out that I was touched by a boy, they will be livid.¡±
¡°¡¡ s¡¡ sorry¡¡±
What a shocking revtion at a time like this! I apologize for the time being.
¡ºDid you not notice?¡»
¡¸Huh!?¡¹
Then Tre¡¯ainar let out a sigh of exasperation.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar, d, did you know?¡¹
¡ºYou are not observant enough. Tis why womenin about you being insensitive.¡»
¡¸No, no, b, because¡¡¹
Then I remembered something.
It was the Prince¡¯s cheeks, which still had a slight bruise.
I hit it¡
¡°Prince¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Erm¡ your cheek is¡¡±
I hit him as hard as I could. Moreover, it was a twisting punch called a corkscrew.
Right on the face¡
¡°Korra¡±
¡°Ouch.¡±
But, when I looked apologetic, the Prince smiled and gave me a finger flick to the forehead.
¡°Understand that there are people in this world who don¡¯t want to be treated as princesses, no matter their biological gender.¡±
¡°¡¡ nuh¡¡±
¡°This was a worthy blow as I faced thee head-on and thou made me realize my immaturity. Should thou apologize, I would feel miserable, so please don¡¯t.¡±
Far from caring that I hit him at all, the Prince proudly said that it would be an insult to apologize to him.
¡°The Goddess¡ and your cute little sister are not the only one¡ I too will grow in strength and power¡ I will continue to improve myself. So¡¡ apologize, and I would not forgive thee, so please keep that in mind?.¡±
What a surprise¡
¡°Heh¡ you don¡¯t like being treated like a princess¡ but¡¡ all the women I¡¯ve met so far are just like that.¡±
The actual princess, Phianse, and Sadiz, who has been with me all this time, and even Shinobu and Kron don¡¯t just want to be protected and cherished.
Rather, they are willing to take the initiative to join the battle and fight side by side without regard to men¡¯s feelings.
That¡¯s why I easily understood the Prince¡¯s words.
Then, Kron went along with the conversation between me and the Prince.
¡°I understand how the Prince feels. When I met Earth¡ I realized that I want to fight together with him¡ rather than just being protected by him.¡±
At Kron¡¯s strong words, Amae, who was being held in Kron¡¯sp, also raised her hand.
¡°Older brother¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Older brother¡ Amae too¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯ll work hard¡¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
¡°If I do my best¡ will everyone be together again? Forever together?¡±
Amae has seriously considered the words of Jamdi¡¯el and us in her own way.
Until just a little while ago, she was crying in vain over our parting, and even now she probably doesn¡¯t want to say goodbye to us.
But even though she was on the verge of tears, Amae still said that.
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s do our best! With a stronger Amae by our side, we¡¯re invincible. There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of!¡±
¡°Un!¡±
Hearing those words, I felt so refreshed that I could move on with peace of mind.
But, in the midst of all this¡
¡°Hmph¡ Earth Lagann¡¡ Amae is fine, but¡ I at least wanted Lady Kron to be the exception, the only one to be protected above all else¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, who was looking forward with a sour expression, muttered with resentment.
I couldn¡¯t help butugh when I heard those words.
¡°Kuhaha, well, it can¡¯t be helped, right? Because what Kron wants to protect the most is¡ you.¡±
¡°Nuh!?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve lost your power and be nothing more than a winged woman¡ with a bounty on your head and resented all over the world¡ but Kron said she would protect you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s why she need not bother! If only Lady Kron is safe and has your protection, that¡¯s all that matters¡ I have lost my strength and be nothing but a burden, so if Lady Kron protects me as much as I fear¡¡±
Yes, just like the Prince said, men and women alike, everyone is trying to be strong, but there is one exception.
Because she lost her power, she will now be protected like a princess.
That is the current Jamdi¡¯el.
But that can¡¯t be helped.
In exchange for that, Jamdi¡¯el was released.
Well, maybe, but even though her magic power and magic eye were sealed, I think that even if you fight with her bare body, Jamdi¡¯el can easily beat most opponents¡
¡°Well, Jamdi¡¯el. Due to circumstances, you¡¯re the only one in the position of being protected from now on. But it¡¯s not that you¡¯re a hindrance or a nuisance. Kron wants to protect you, so for the time being, please just obediently be protected.¡±
¡°But! Thou should at least act together! Lady Kron alone is¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°No, Kron isn¡¯t alone.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
Yes, if it were Jamdi¡¯el and Kron traveling alone, I would be worried too.
But that¡¯s not the case.
¡°I¡¯m here as well!¡±
Sure, there¡¯s Hilua too.
Hilua signed a contract with both me and Kron, but from now on, he will go along with Kron and Jamdi¡¯el.
But I¡¯m not talking about Hilua¡
¡°Oh, and I¡¯ll have Hilua follow Kron too¡ but that¡¯s not all. From now on, it looks like there¡¯s a man by your side who really wants to help you.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡?¡±
I don¡¯t like the fact that the person who gave that information and proposal was Paripi¡
¡°Boy. I can see it now.¡±
Then, in our field of vision, which until now had only the entire ocean, we finally saw the continent.
Although it is on the edge of the continent, it¡¯s still part of the Empire¡¯s territory.
In what appeared to be a small port town, we could see several ships docked there.
That is the ¡°rendezvous point¡±.
And there, each of us will make a new start.
Author¡¯s Note
Finally, the goal of the long arc is in sight. Oh~, I want to write ¡°The Master and Student Duo¡¯s Journey¡± as soon as possible.
The world is in a situation where various derations are made and everyone has to feel a sense of crisis, but I will do my best as long as I am still allowed to write stories like this. My ass is getting used to it, and I¡¯m sure you¡¯re getting tired of all the flirting with women by now, and we¡¯ve finally reached a milestone.
Chapter 244: Common Sense
Chapter 244 ¨C Common Sense
¡°Oh my! Here¡ a different world from Cacretale! And it¡¯s Earth¡¯s hometown! See, Amae look there too!¡±
¡°Ouh¡¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s true in terms of territory, but as my hometown¡ it¡¯s a rural port town far away from the Imperial Capital¡¡±
It was a port town in a rural area not often heard of even within the Empire¡¯s territory, and the smell of tides and fish permeated the area.
It¡¯s not a very big port, and it doesn¡¯t have the kind of trade that supports the Empire¡¯s economy, so I¡¯ve never been here myself.
But still, for Kron and Amae, it was the first time seeing and outside of Cacretale.
As their eyes sparkled with excitement, they quickly ran hand in hand into town.
¡°Kron! You¡¯ve got to hide your horns!¡±
¡°Lady Kron, please put on thy hat. And this is not Cacretale. Don¡¯t dart about so recklessly¡¡±
A wary Jamdi¡¯el gave Kron a hat to hide her horns, and she herself hid her wings.
Even though the war has been over for more than a decade, people with horns and wings wandering around in human territory would still be conspicuous.
Above all, Jamdi¡¯el had a bounty.
Besides¡¡
¡°Oh~, oh~, hmm¡. nnh~¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Uh~¡¡¡±
At that moment, Kron and Amae, who had started running excitedly, suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Kron suddenly looked around nervously, and Amae, looking a little frightened, clung to Kron¡¯s leg and hid.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Kron?¡±
¡°Ah, no¡ it¡¯s¡¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°This ce is not Cacretale after all¡ nobody seems to know us¡¡±
Although it was a small port town, there were quite a number of people walking the streets, and some residents were looking at us.
But, no one talked to us, and no one smiled at us.
To me this was normal, but from Kron¡¯s and Amae¡¯s point of view, it was something they have never experienced before.
Yes, that¡¯s how it is.
¡°Well, yes. Because this is the outside world.¡±
¡°¡¡ right.¡±
Since this was not Cacretale, unlike Jamdi¡¯el, who had a bounty on her head, no one knew about Kron and Amae, even if they reveal their true faces.
Until now, just by walking through the streets of Cacretale, Kron had been giving bows and had inspired many people.
Whenever Amae walked through the city, kind people would smile at her and give her sweets and fruits.
But not here. Once they stepped outside of Cacretale, it was no longer a world where cheers fell on Kron and Amae.
¡°Are you scared now?¡±
¡°No, no, I¡¯m just a little nervous! I will do my best! I¡¯m the one who will protect Jamdi¡¯el from now on!¡±
¡°Uh~¡¡ uoh~¡¡ Amae too¡ there¡¯s¡ no problem¡±
¡°Kuhaha, is that so?¡±
At my question, Kron and Amae seemed nervous and stiffened their expressions a little, but immediately said they were fine and clenched their fists.
Well, it¡¯s normal to be nervous, but if you¡¯re nervous in a small town like this, Kron might have a bit of a tough time from here on out.
But¡¡
¡°Hey, you girls, back away, get back, it¡¯s dangerous!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
A horse-drawn carriage carrying arge amount of fish unloaded from a fishing boat at the port rushed past in front of us.
¡°Ara~, that was surprising¡¡±
¡°Ugh¡ scary¡¡±
Kron and Amae, who were startled, took a step and stopped.
This was also a scene that has never been seen before in Cacretale.
¡°Nuh, what lowly human! The nerve to so rudely rush in front of Lady Kron! I shall¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Stop, stop.¡±
Even though she had lost her strength, I hurriedly grabbed Jamdi¡¯el by the cor and stopped her from chasing the carriage that passed in front of us, letting her emotions get the better of her.
This person was a former General and probably has some knowledge of the Surface World, but when ites to Tre¡¯ainar and Kron, she¡¯s really¡
¡°Hmm¡ after all, this is the outside world¡ the rules are different, aren¡¯t they?¡±
¡°¡¡ uh~¡¡ ugh¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Amae. This is just another experience.¡±
On the other hand, Kron, who was the person in question, nodded rather curiously and admonished Amae, who was nervous.
¡°Yes, Jamdi¡¯el. I will do my best to protect you from now on, but I don¡¯t know about the outside world. So please teach me a lot about it.¡±
¡°Eh, Lady Kron, therefore I¡ um, nay, new knowledge is¡¡±
¡°Ara? Or do you not know much about the outside world either, Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°I, it¡¯s not like that! Yes, I do! Well, without further ado¡¡±
Yes, Kron knew nothing about themon sense and rules outside of Cacretale.
That¡¯s why she has to learn them from now on.
In order for Jamdi¡¯el to teach her, Jamdi¡¯el can¡¯t easily go wild and cause trouble.
Jamdi¡¯el seemed to understand that, and endured her anger at the carriage earlier¡
¡°Kohon. Well then, Lady Kron. In the outside world, the humans don¡¯t kneel and bow their heads on the spot just by thy passing as in Cacretale, and carriages rudely pass in front of you as earlier.¡±
¡°Mmm-hmm.¡±
¡°It¡¯s very dangerous, and can cause serious injuries if thoue in contact with it. And since they are also ipetent, even if a person appears before it, the carriage may not be able to stop suddenly. As such, the pedestrians have to be wary.¡±
¡°Hoho~¡±
¡°Is that so? For that reason, in this way¡ª¡±
Jamdi¡¯el coughed lightly and straightened her posture.
Both Kron and Amae looked at her figure with serious eyes.
¡°Who are those beauties?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never seen them before.¡±
¡°Are they Heavenly Maidens? Or Goddesses.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never seen anyone like them around here. What are they doing?¡±
And even though they hide their wings and horns, the residents who somehow noticed Jamdi¡¯el and Kron because of their beauty began to gather and pay attention to them.
It was quite fortunate that no one knew Jamdi¡¯el had a bounty.
In the midst of such a crowd, Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡°First, look to the right!¡±
¡°¡±Yes!¡±¡±
¡°And then look to the left!¡±
¡°¡±Yes!¡±¡±
¡°Then look to the right again, just to be sure!¡±
¡°¡±Uh huh!¡±¡±
¡°Be sure you look to the left and right, and then stand tall so all can see¡ raise your hands like this and cross! This way, even if a horse-drawn carriagees while crossing, it will notice and stop or slow down. This is one of the basic rules of the outside world!¡±
¡°Oooooh!!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el raised her right hand straight up and crossed the road.
Kron and Amae¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight.
¡°Understood, Jamdi¡¯el! Okay, I¡¯ll do it right away! Amae, you too, okay?¡±
¡°Un!¡±
¡°First, look to the right!¡±
¡°Right!¡±
¡°Look to the left!¡±
¡°Left!¡±
¡°Right again!¡±
¡°Riiight!¡±
There was nothing wrong with that rule.
I was taught that rule once, too.
When I was about four or five years old¡ a teacher in kindergarten taught this to me¡ so, at that time, did I always hold hands with Phianse?
¡ª Here, Earth! Hold hands with me! Don¡¯t be shy, raise your hand up!
Oh~,e to think of it, Phianse had been thinking about me back then ¡ was she? No, well, it doesn¡¯t matter now, but I mean, the rules taught by Jamdi¡¯el right now aren¡¯t wrong. They¡¯re not wrong, but something was still off.
¡°And raise your hand! Yes!¡±
¡°Uun!¡±
Kron and Amae, who held hands, puffed out their chests with a hearty ¡°Eh-heh¡± and crossed the road.
The residents who had gathered around them began to groan and giggle.
¡°Hoho. Is this the custom of the Surface World¡¡±
¡°No, well~, uh~¡¡±
The Prince also nodded in admiration, but she probably doesn¡¯t understand because she doesn¡¯t know that kind ofmon sense.
¡°Yes, you¡¯re very good, Lady Kron!¡±
And Jamdi¡¯el was pleased.
It¡¯s getting ridiculous. Jamdi¡¯el bes unreliable when Kron is involved.
Certainly, if it were just the two of them, I might be a little worried.
But¡¡ about that, he will¡
¡°You there, move over, move over! Oraah, don¡¯t gather in the middle of the street!¡±
¡°Fast Cargoing throooooough!¡±
And that¡¯s when it happened.
A carriage was rushing from the other side at a much faster speed than the carriage loaded with fish, and with a rough voice.
It was a fast-loaded carriage that made a living loading cargo and delivering it to different ces.
The basic principle was ¡°no stopping¡± until it reaches the destination.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¡°Ara? Something ising, isn¡¯t it? But I¡¯m raising my hand up like this!¡±
¡°Un!¡±
When a fast cargo arrives, pedestrians usually move out of the way in a hurry.
The residents, who are ustomed to this, did not seem particrly panicked, and quickly stepped back to make way for fast cargo.
But, Kron and Amae, who don¡¯t understand this¡
¡°Nu¡ that human, can¡¯t stop! Oh no!¡±
¡°Oh~, seriously!¡±
She raised her hand with a triumphant look, but the other side wasn¡¯t thinking about stopping.
¡°Hey, Kron, Amae, get over here, it¡¯s dangerous!¡±
¡°Huh? But Earth¡ we¡¯re raising our hands up, aren¡¯t we? We were the first to walk, right?¡±
¡°Older brother?¡±
In a panic, I pulled Kron and Amae¡¯s hand.
But, as expected, it was a mess, so the fast cargo driver finally noticed this situation and applied the brakes suddenly to stop in front of us.
¡°Are you crazy? Why are you dawdling about, young man!¡±
¡°Huh? Oh, huh? Huh?¡±
¡°You suicidal? Stupid bastard!¡±
A middle-aged man with a bad temper yelled at us in a hoarse voice.
Kron was so confused that he didn¡¯t understand what was going on, and Amae was so scared that she looked like she was going to cry at any moment.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, old man. These guys are¨D¨D¡±
¡°Hey, human over there! Being so high-minded! Who the devil do thou think thou art disrespectful¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Oh dear! Such crudenguage towards such pretty flowers. As a man, thou have lost a lot of points.¡±
I panicked and tried to apologize, but Jamdi¡¯el and the Prince were about toplicate matters further.
I¡¯m getting a headache from these na?ve people¡
It was then!
¡°Kakakkakakka¡ Yes yes, that¡¯s it, that¡¯s it!¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Huh!?¡±¡±
¡°Sorry, old man! They are a group of ignorant, sheltereddies, so they don¡¯t get it. Forgive em, yeh!¡±
Ah¡¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ from now on, for these ignorant or slightly misaligned people, the proper knowledge and rules wille from him¡
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°Here, a piece of simple pleasure. Take it.¡±
¡°Hmm? This bottle¡ is it booze?¡±
¡°It is. After work, have a drink with this, yeh!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hehe, thank you for this. Big brother, you know what you¡¯re talking about. Shaaah. Hey, you girls be careful next time!¡±
The man appeared like the wind,ughed cheerfully, handed the bottle of liquor he was holding to the old man on the fast cargo, and theyughed at each other and put the mess behind them.
The fast cargo driver that was in a good mood rushed off again and was gone in no time.
And then, the man who showed up turned to us¡
¡°Hey there, cool sisters. If you¡¯d like to¡e and y with me ~ won¡¯t you~? To the ends of the world.¡±
¡°Ah¡ ah¡ aaaaaaaahhh!!¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°T, thou!? W, wh, why art thou here? Thou¡¡±
The moment they saw the man¡¯s face, Kron and the others shouted in astonishment.
And seeing their reactions, the man snorted with his finger andughed again.
¡°Hehe¡ long time no see, Master. Also, you¡¯ve be quite strong-minded, little sister! And¡¡±
And the man looked at me¡
¡°Brother. I¡¯ve heard the general gist of what you¡¯ve been up to. Well done!¡±
There he was, tall in a long white coat and a white hat.
There stood that hoodlum with a powerful smile and even more ring eyes.
And he stuck his fist out at me¡
¡°Yeah, it was really hard¡ these unmanageabledies are a handful. So, please take care of the rest, okay? ¡¡ Bro!¡±
I stuck out my fist too, and hit his fist¡ I hit Bro¡¯s fist andughed too.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you very much for your support. This country has also dered a state of emergency, and I¡¯m sure many things will change in our lives. To be honest, I probably don¡¯t have time to write novels either, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve been told to refrain from writing, so I¡¯ll keep an eye on the situation and write as much as I can to pass the time.
Well, this time Bro was reintroduced. Actually, it¡¯s his first appearance since Augustst year, but Volume 2 of the light novel was released about two weeks ago, and Bro had made his appearance, so I don¡¯t think he was missed. Yes, if there is anyone who missed him, he or she has not bought the book¡ well, it¡¯s not toote, right? Somehow, the story around Bro has changed considerably between the Light Novel and the Web Novel, so I would like you to take a look. It¡¯s also avable in electronic format, okay? If you still don¡¯t want to buy it, get your ass out¡ I¡¯m a straight guy, and I¡¯m pouting. So, I¡¯ve been thinking about various ways to reunite with this guy, but this time I think it¡¯s more of a ¡°passing the baton¡± than a reunion. Actually, in the original n, I didn¡¯t want to release Bro in this way, but the story of Jamdi¡¯el and Kron became moreplicated than I expected, so I decided to ask Bro to settle the situation. So this is a ¡°passing the baton¡±. I want to see a real reunion one day when we can meet each other in a more elevated way.
Chapter 245: A Man’s Pride
Chapter 245 ¨C A Man¡¯s Pride
For me, this was a reunion after a few months away.
But for these guys, that wasn¡¯t the case.
¡°You are¡ Bro! It¡¯s Bro!¡±
¡°Oh~¡¡ Bro¡¡±
Kron ran up to Bro, who appeared and grinned, with a big smile, and Amae also rushed over with a surprised look.
¡°Kakakkakkaka, It¡¯s me, little sister! And¡ is that you Amae? Oh~, you¡¯re still as tiny as ever~¡±
¡°Wow~, Bro! It¡¯s really Bro! How do you do!¡±
¡°Amae, you¡¯re growing up. You¡¯re going to get stronger from now on, yeh.¡±
Bro vigorously stroked the heads of the two with his hands.
¡°Ah,e on Bro!¡±
¡°Nn, stop! Nn! Bro, stop that!¡±
Kron was ticklish, and Amae looked annoyed, but she actually seemed like she wasn¡¯tpletely unsatisfied.
¡°Little sister, how have you been? Besides¡¡ like I said, you have really strong eyes, you know? You¡¯ve gotten stronger, yeh.¡±
¡°Really? Our promise¡ ¡®you¡¯re a good kid, but¡ let¡¯s get stronger¡¯. If I was able to fulfill that promise, I¡¯m d.¡±
¡°Oh! You¡¯ve been through a lot¡ some good encounters too.¡±
¡°Yes! I also learned about love!¡±
¡°Oh, d to hear that~! It¡¯s kind of reassuring to hear about your love life!¡±
It was the first time I had seen them together, but the scene looked so natural that it made me smile.
¡°Is he¡ thy friend?¡±
¡°Hmm? Hmm~¡¡ well¡¡ wh?¡±
¡°Hmm. He¡¯s a pretty decent fellow¡¡±
On the other hand, the Prince who met Bro for the first time seemed to have the impression that he was not so bad.
Well, Bro is a guy who calmly tries to get through to people without hesitation, so he¡¯s annoying, but he¡¯s not a bad guy either.
But in the midst of all this¡
¡°Hey, Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Thou said we wouldn¡¯t act together afterward¡ will thou allow him to protect Lady Kron instead of thee?¡±
¡°Kron¡ not at all. Kron and you, both of you.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
As if looking down at Bro with a snort, Jamdi¡¯el showed a dissatisfied expression.
Yes, that was Paripi¡¯s suggestion.
¡°It seems that Bro has been in the Imperial City after being protected by Old man Mikado in Cantidan¡¡±
¡°What? Mikado¡¯s?¡±
¡°Ah, but Coman¡¯s¡ ah~, the parent of my former ssmate, who was a spy for Paripi, worked behind the scenes to release Bro before he left the Imperial City. So, we¡¯ll meet up with Bro here and have him act with you from now on.¡±
¡°¡¡ Nuh¡ what¡¡ I was unaware thou spoke to Paripi about¡ª¡±
This proposal was made when I talked to Paripi through the Magic Crystal in the Heavenly World.
To put it bluntly, it¡¯s annoying to follow his suggestion, but considering the future of Kron and the others, I thought that having Bro stay with them would be more reassuring, so I reluctantly decided to go along with his proposal.
But when Jamdi¡¯el heard about it, she had a confused expression on her face.
¡°Is that so¡ but¡¡ how absurd.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not good enough for you? Master.¡±
¡°Hold thy jests, Bro. Thou, who left the dojo to y around in the outside world¡ art far inferior to Machio, let alone Earth Lagann, yet deem to protect us?¡±
Bro smiled wryly at Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s harsh words.
¡°Kakakkakaka, you¡¯re still as strict as ever, Master.¡±
¡°Mmmm, Jamdi¡¯el! I don¡¯t think you should talk like that! Bro is very dependable, you know?¡±
¡°No, no, it¡¯s fine, little sister. I know my power too, yeh.¡±
¡°B-but¡¡±
Kron puffed up her cheeks at Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s words and was about to get angry, but Bro stopped her.
¡°You¡¯re right, Master, I ran outside. Master came to see the outside world for herself¡ and I wanted to know the same world¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°And it made me realize how big the world is, the power, the deceptions of society, and at the same time I realized how small I am.¡±
¡°Hmph. Then¡ª¡ª¡±
Jamdi¡¯el was right, in a way.
As of a few months ago, I had defeated Bro one-on-one.
Bro was not weak.
Butpared to the Six Supremacy ss like Paripi and Jamdi¡¯el, it¡¯s just¡ well¡ he¡¯s not there yet.
¡°But you know, Master? I¡¯m still weak right now. If it was just a simplebat potential, the power gap between me and my brother would have widened in the past few months. I don¡¯t have the same eyes as my sister or Master.¡±
¡°Oh¡ thou art aware, aren¡¯t thee?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been out there for a good amount of my life outside, and I¡¯ve dealt with all sorts of people, both in the light and in the shadows¡ I know how to keep out of trouble¡ support myself properly¡ on top of that, I¡¯ve learned how to have fun.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
Bro has experience.
More than anyone else here, including myself, he lived in the world and society, both upfront and behind the scenes, and sometimes he has conflicts with them, and sometimes he gets along with them.
This was experience and knowledge that Jamdi¡¯el, who has been in Cacretale for almost the entire time since the war, does not have.
Yes, what was needed from now on was not only the ability to protect Jamdi¡¯el and Kron from trouble, but also someone who could do that well enough to not cause trouble in the first ce.
Sure, this guy was originally a brawling delinquent who was also an outcast by nature, but he had many friends and interacted with many different adults.
And on top of that, he was enjoying his life.
Well, behind the scenes, he had a lot of things to do, and he had strange ideas and policies, but still, it was clear what his priority was when it came to Kron and Jamdi¡¯el.
¡°Of course, when pushes to shove, I¡¯ll be strong enough to put my body on the line to protect you guys. But for now, why don¡¯t we enjoy our time¡¡ together? You¡¯ve been carrying things for over ten years, but you can let go a little¡ of course, I¡¯ll carry that heavy burden that you can¡¯t forget with me, yeh.¡±
¡°¡¡ what was that?¡±
What I feel from Bro now waspletely different from the obscure delinquent stubbornness he used to have, so to speak, a man¡¯s pride.
I felt a particr heat in his words.
¡°Bro¡ thou¡¡ have changed somewhat? After leaving Cacretale, thou would asionally return to the dojo for short periods of training with people from outside, but¡ at that time, while obsessed about the lowly hoodlum way of life¡ burned out by the destruction of the mafia¡ and even more so, thy eyes were dull and forlorn¡¡±
Jamdi¡¯el also felt Bro¡¯s heat and had a slightly strange expression on her face.
In response to that question, Bro nced at me¡
¡°Of course¡ I forgot my original intention when I stepped out into the outside world, and got depressed and bored¡ but he fought me with all his might, beat me to a pulp, and pulled me up¡ I met the coolest friend ever. It was worth it!¡±
¡°¡¡ Nuh¡ Hmm¡ Hmm¡¡±
Those straight and ring eyes were something that Bro, who was smoldering, didn¡¯t have at that time.
Rather, I guess this is the original Bro.
Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t say anything else, seemingly overwhelmed by the heat, and Bro looked at me again, grinned and gave me a thumbs up.
I felt a little uneasy, but I once again thought that I could leave it to Bro with peace of mind, so I smiled and nodded back.
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your support. I was able to update today without restraint. Recently, there are many of you who came here because of the flow from the Manga, and are unable to go outside, so I am very embarrassed. I am an elegant straight writer whose only merit is being serious, but I hope you can continue to support me. Ah, if you find this work interesting, I would be even happier if you could pierce my soul with the ¡°¡ï¡± below.
On a different note, I actually have a favor to ask of you today. Recently, I have been in contact with my father in my parent¡¯s house because of this situation, and he¡¯s been bragging to his acquaintances about the sess of an easy-to-understand manga adaptation, and some of them have even bought the books and read this webnovel, which I am very grateful for. However, I have one request, please do not report to my father what I am writing in the afterwords. Things, things, things, things, ¡¡ please, ¡¡ please, please, please! I¡¯m so sorry for your trouble! They ask awkward questions on the phone!
Well, that¡¯s a request to a specific person, and the other thing is that various bookstores have been refraining from operating this April, and that can¡¯t be helped. However, for the writers who will publish their books in April, it is not a funny situation. I was safe because my book was publishedst month, but unfortunately for those who give birth at this time of the year, it is a matter of life and death. I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to say that you should buy it, but when you have time, I would like you to be interested about ¡°what is the release at this time of year?¡±, and then read a novel while you are browsing Be a Novelist, and if you get hooked, I would like you to buy it. Otherwise, the publishing industry will be in the red, downsized, and I won¡¯t be able to publish more volumes (I mean it)! If not, no one will be able to see Jos¨¦¡¯s character drawings! Also, Kron and Amae. So, I¡¯ve written a rambling postscript, but this is the situation, so please forgive me! You are wee to buy up the books!

Chapter 246 ¨C See You Later
In response to the man¡¯s pride of Bro, Jamdi¡¯el also seemed doubtful, but because of the circumstances, she did notin anymore.
Besides, as Bro said, his knowledge and experience were important for living in the outside world.
¡°Amae, I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, so I wanted to talk to you slowly¡¡±
¡°Amae~, we¡¯ll definitely be back again. And when we do, we¡¯ll both be bigger and stronger, right?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll have a lot more fun next time ~!¡±
¡°Un~¡¡ ugh~¡¡¡±
Then, just like I did in the Heavenly World, Kron gave her a farewell hug and Bro stroked her head. Hilua was sliding his body closer.
Amae was desperately trying to hold back tears while looking a little sulky.
¡°Amae, is okay¡¡. Amae, will get bigger soon.¡±
¡°Ara¡¡±
¡°As soon as Amae gets stronger, everyone wille home. Very soon.¡±
Amae says, ¡°I¡¯ll see youter.¡± as if telling herself.
Kron and Bro nodded with a smile at those words.
¡°Hmph¡¡±
¡°Are you all right?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not in my nature.¡±
¡°¡¡ Is that so? You¡¯ve been together since she can remember, haven¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
Won¡¯t Jamdi¡¯el hug Amae like Kron and the others?
But even so, I could tell that she still didn¡¯t have an ¡°I don¡¯t care¡± attitude about them.
Even if Cacretale was a ce that Jamdi¡¯el had used.
¡°Here, Jamdi¡¯el, say goodbye to Amae too!¡±
¡°Lady Kron¡¡±
¡°Hey,e on.¡±
¡°Ah, ugh, ah¡¡±
Even if her unnecessary pride prevented her from saying something, Jamdi¡¯el would have to obey if Kron told her to.
Jamdi¡¯el, who now had an excuse, coughed lightly¡
¡°Ahem¡ well¡ Amae¡¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°¡¡ d, don¡¯t catch a cold¡¡±
¡°¡¡ un!¡±
Jamdi¡¯el, who was not being honest, gave words of concern to Amae.
Amae nodded slightly, almost crying again at those words.
¡°Kuhaha, she¡¯s not being honest.¡±
¡°Not at all.¡±
¡°Fufufu, right ??¡±
I gushed over such a situation, along with Kron and Bro.
But soon¡
¡°¡¡ um, Bro.¡±
¡°Oh, what is it, brother?¡±
¡°¡¡ Stop with that brother thing.¡±
¡°Why, I¡¯m your big brother, right?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t remember having an idiot brother.¡±
¡°What are you talking about? You¡¯re going to be my sister¡¯s husband, right? Then you¡¯re definitely my brother, yeh!¡±
¡°Wha, what¡¯s with that reasoning?¡±
He¡¯s as friendly as ever.
¡°Yes! Bro, I¡¯ll do my best!¡±
¡°Okay! Then we¡¯re all family!¡±
¡°Ha~¡¡¡±
When these two get together, it¡¯s kind of silly to think about the details, but I can¡¯t say that.
I sighed once¡
¡°So, Bro, where are you going after this?¡±
So, where are they going from here?
I was only thinking about leaving Kron and Jamdi¡¯el to Bro, so I didn¡¯t think about anything after that.
¡°I¡¯m just going to go where the wind blows, do as we please.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°For now¡ I¡¯m thinking of a ce that doesn¡¯t seem to have much to do with the Seven Heroes, the Union, or the Remnant of the Demon King Army.¡±
That¡¯s how it is. Especially when ites torge developed countries, the number of people who know about Jamdi¡¯el will increase.
But, I¡¯m sure this guy knows a lot about the other ces and how to take care of them, so I think he¡¯ll be fine.
¡°That¡¯s right. Well, for the time being, you¡¯ll have to teach your sister a lot ofmon sense. If it¡¯s just Jamdi¡¯el teaching her, she will only learn things that are biased.¡±
¡°Kakkakkakkka!¡±
If so¡¡
¡°Then, as I said before¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll take care of the rest, right?¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
I¡¯m not Kron¡¯s guardian, but I¡¯ve been pushed around in various ways, and I¡¯ve been told that she likes me, so I¡¯ve had a lot on my mind, but I¡¯ll leave it to Bro to take over from here on out.
¡°Earth¡¡±
¡°See you, Kron.¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes¡¡ I¡¯m going to miss you, but I¡¯ve already had a hug in the Heavenly World. I won¡¯tin, and I¡¯ll do my best from now on!¡±
¡°Same here.¡±
¡°Yes, Earth¡ I love you ?.¡±
¡°Whoa?! ¡¡ s, so a surprise attack¡¡±
¡°Nfufu~, I¡¯ll say that again next time we meet, right?¡±
I¡¯ve said goodbye enough times to Kron. All that¡¯s left is to pledge to meet each other again.
And¡¡
¡°Oh~, Hilua, I¡¯m asking you to take care of her too, okay? If something happens, protect her, okay?¡±
¡°Leave it to me!¡±
From here, I lightly stroked Hilua¡¯s head as he will follow Kron and the others, and¡
¡°Well,ter then, Jamdi¡¯el.¡±
¡°¡¡ Earth Lagann¡¡±
Today with this fellow¡ I wasn¡¯t really supposed to have that kind of rtionship, but somehow I naturally said goodbye to her.
¡°Three months ago, you forcibly kidnapped me¡ really, it¡¯s been a lot of trouble¡ I had a tough time¡ but¡¡ it made me stronger.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°We had some good encounters¡ it was fun¡¡ for me¡¡ I¡¯m d I went to Cacretale. That¡¯s why¡¡±
No matter how it all started, there was no lie in the feeling that I am grateful to have been able to go to that country.
As expected, I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to say ¡°Thank you for kidnapping me back then¡±, but at least¡
¡°Thank you for taking care of me.¡±
¡°¡¡ hmph~¡¡±
That¡¯s all I said clearly.
Then, Jamdi¡¯el¡
¡°Earth Lagann ¡ don¡¯t get too chummy with Paripi.¡±
¡°Oh~, that¡¯s okay, I definitely won¡¯t trust that bastard.¡±
¡°I see¡ Also, be wary of Hakuki. Surely, thou have caught his interest as well.¡±
¡°Kuhaha¡ I¡¯ve had enough of the Six Supremacy, and I don¡¯t want to be involved with them for a while¡¡±
As expected of Jamdi¡¯el, there is no such thing as a smile, a handshake, or a hug.
Though, it¡¯s not a substitute, it feels like she¡¯s giving me some light advice.
And finally¡
¡°And finally¡ or rather, this is the most important matter. Anyway, I won¡¯t allow thee to leave Lady Kron alone forever.¡±
¡°Kuhaha¡¡±
At the end of the day, you¡¯re her mother. As if.
Leaving those words to me at the end, Jamdi¡¯el rode on Hilua¡¯s back with Kron and Bro.
And¡¡
¡°Then I¡¯ll be off as well, Boy.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°I have to send this littledy home, too.¡±
Saying that, the prince patted Amae¡¯s head and smiled.
¡°Oh, if you would please do so.¡±
¡°Hehehe, I wanted us to speak more slowly, but that will have to wait until another time.¡±
¡°¡¡ true.¡±
¡°Anyway, it was a pleasure meeting thee. I hope thou will fare well.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
I said a quick goodbye to the Prince, who will return to the Heavenly World after sending Amae to Cacretale.
Like with everyone else, we vowed to meet again and shook hands onest time.
And¡¡
¡°Amae, see youter.¡±
¡°¡¡ uh~¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hey~, Amae. Get yourself in a better mood~¡±
¡°Ugh~¡¡¡±
Amae sat between the arms of the Prince straddling Pegasus.
She didn¡¯t cry like before, and didn¡¯t get spoiled.
It¡¯s true that I told her to be stronger, but she didn¡¯t have to go so far as to hold back here¡ I thought¡
¡°Older brother¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Amae beckoned me with her little hand. When I looked at her¡
¡°Un!¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°Gyu~~~~~~¡±
It was the best hug I could get from Amae.
¡°Older brother, Amae will get big soon!¡±
¡°¡¡ puh¡ Kuhahaha, I see¡ gotcha¡¡±
¡°If you lie again, Amae¡ will get mad, okay?¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
¡°¡¡ nfu ~¡±
I was so relieved to see herugh at the end, even though it seemed she couldn¡¯t hold back.
¡°Kakkakka, that Amae, who was only attached with Tsukshi, Karui, and Boss Machio~, you¡¯re doing a good job, brother.¡±
¡°Ufufu, I¡¯m d that Amae smiled too!¡±
¡°My goodness¡¡±
¡°Take care, Amae myss!¡±
¡°Un! Goddess, High Priestess, and Hilly, bye-bye! Bro¡ pui.¡±
And finally, it¡¯s time to say goodbye.
The Prince also sent a signal to the Pegasus he was riding and the other one that my parents had ridden, and they took to the sky.
¡°Heey, Amae! You¡¯re squeezing me! Tte,ter, brother!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t help it. Bro went out on his own, so Amae is still angry. And Earth! I will definitely see you again! I¡¯ll be a much nicerdy too!¡±
¡°Hmph.¡±
¡°Unah, then bye-bye!¡±
¡°Adieu, Boy!¡±
¡°Older brother!!¡±
Thus, Kron, Jamdi¡¯el, and Bro rode Hilua and headed somewhere.
Amae and the Prince returned to Cacretale on the Pegasus.
¡°Yeah! See youter!!¡±
I waved until I couldn¡¯t see them, then sighed.
¡°Phew¡ it¡¯s sort of¡ been a lot of intense days, but I¡¯m a little depressed.¡±
¡ºFufu¡ well, all the people we met were intense.¡»
¡°That they were!¡±
Me and Tre¡¯ainar left at the port. For the past few months, someone has been around me.
That¡¯s why, I felt like I haven¡¯t had this kind of atmosphere in a long time.
Three months. But, it¡¯s hard to believe that it¡¯s only been three months¡ really¡¡ everyone and this guy¡
¡ºBut you do not have time to feel lonely, child. Rest your body, train again, and then head out for the world once more.¡»
¡°Yeah!¡±
I got it.
The goal of ¡°to the end of the world,¡± which we pledged to each other three months ago, has not yet been achieved.
I wandered around the Empire for a bit, then stayed in Cacretale for a while, and now I¡¯m back in the Empire¡¯s territory.
But I have no intention of staying here again.
Three months ago, I was kidnapped by Jamdi¡¯el and set foot in another country, but this time I will cross this sea of my own volition and even go to a different country.
And the next destination is¡
¡°Okay, here we go! The next destination is¡ª¡ª¡±
¡ºHmm, next will be¡ª¡ª¡»
Then Tre¡¯ainar and I realized something at the same time.
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡º¡¡ ah¡¡»
¡°¡¡ the Prince¡¡±
¡ºWas he not to send you there¡¡»
Yes, the original n was to drop Jamdi¡¯el and Kron down here to meet up with Bro.
After that, I nned to have the Prince send me to my next destination.
But Amae¡¯s presence has thrown that into disarray.
I asked the prince to send Amae to Cacretale¡ so we¡¡
¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh, shoot!¡±
¡º¡¡ Hah~¡¡ well, tis fine. Fortunately, this is a port¡ we need not hurry¡¡»
¡°Ha~¡¡ well, I guess so¡¡±
The next destination has been decided, but it will take a little longer to get there.
¡º¡±Take our time.¡±¡»
Just a little¡¡
Part 5 End
Author¡¯s Note
Our journey to¡ so, thank you for reading.
This concludes part 5.
No~~~~~~ it was long. No, seriously. It was really long.
The flow of the story has changed a lot as I wrote it from what I initially envisioned roughly.
Honestly, I didn¡¯t expect to write so much about Cacretale after Part 4.
This is the writer¡¯s shared experience, but the characters moved on their own and expanded the story.
In the first ce, Jamdi¡¯el first appearedst summer. Well~, it¡¯s been a long, long time.
However, I also had feelings for it, and I enjoyed myself.
And, for the time being, I was relieved to have arrived here.
Thank you for staying with me all this time.
If you appreciate it so far, please drill me again with the ¡°¡ï¡± shaped drill below.
Also, Espie, who appeared briefly at the end of Part 5, wasn¡¯t forgotten.
There was also a little meaning to that glimpse, but I hope it will make senseter.
Well, I¡¯ve already decided what I want to do in the next arc, but let me take a break. I am a little tired.
Everyone, times are tough right now, but please take care of yourselves.
Well, see you again someday!!
TLs Notes!
Phew! Another Arc done! This was a long one, and so much happened. Faced 2 of the Six Supremacy, thwarted an invasion from the Heavens, reconciled with friends, love interests staked their ims, outwitted the parents (where was this tenacity when it mattered?), and now off to a new adventure¡.. as soon as they get a new ride I guess (rocky start).
Join me for that after my usual post-arc break, it is only a week, rx. A lot happened IRL this year, and we¡¯re still going through stuff. Still, thanks for sticking with me. And a special thanks to those supporting me on Patreon for being especially awesome. That really helped me tremendously, and I hope for your continued support. And if anyone can spare a little I would really Appreciate it.
And so, just like the chapter title¡

Chapter 247: Since Then… From Now On
Happy New Year to Every One of you guys! New Year, New Arc, New Adventure, Same Love and Support! Looking forward to working with you all. Thanks!!!
Chapter 247 ¨C Since Then¡ From Now On
¡ª See youter!
After saying goodbye to my friends, who vowed to meet again, Tre¡¯ainar and I set off for the world again.
How long has it been?
¡ºWhat is it?¡»
¡°No, it¡¯s just¡ I wonder how long it has been since our ¡®new journey¡¯¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar, my teacher, my partner, and the existence I shared my body with.
When he heard my words, he smiled as if a little dumbfounded¡
¡ºErm¡ same as st time¡¯, tis still only been about three hours.¡»
¡°Ubeyeee, das ma bad~, ship swaaay¡ uubey¡¡±
¡ºWeakling¡¡»
Ah¡¡ it¡¯s still about that much.
The sun had already set and the moon was rising in the sky, but it was still ¡°today¡±.
The sea is still and quiet, and in every direction, there is an endless dark sea.
¡°I never thought a ship could rock so much¡¡±
The only way to reach another continent was to cross the ocean.
It would have been easier if the Prince had sent me by Pegasus, but in the end, I had no choice but to board a regr ship from that port.
I was on a ship with a few dozen people, including merchants, tourists, and people dressed like they were returning home.
I waspletely ovee with seasickness, and fallen down on the deck at night.
I was fine on the fishing boat when I I invaded the Heavenly World from Cacretale¡ tte, that thing was flying¡
Still, it¡¯s pathetic¡
¡°Damn¡ as a kid, when I rode on a trip, it didn¡¯t shake this much¡ isn¡¯t this ship too shabby?¡±
¡ºTis not that much, this is normal,mon even.¡»
The ship was a reasonablyrge ship that was headed for another continent, it wasn¡¯t a luxury cruise ship that would be used by Royalty and aristocrats in the Imperial City, but a ship with a simple and old-fashioned feel.
Well, that port itself wasn¡¯t that big, so it seems that this is reasonable, but¡
¡°Hey, there, brother, have you thrown it all out yet?¡±
¡°Dahahahaha, be careful! A man who can live in the sea is a man among men!¡±
¡°Once you¡¯ve got it out of your system, go to the room and get some rest!¡±
The rugged sailors, who didn¡¯t know me, teased andughed at me.
On the ship I rode with my parents, all the sailors were well-groomed like knights, there was also a skilled chef, and they were all polite, and even though I was just a kid, they were all polite and respectful, and bowed their heads to me. But now¡ no, I set out on a journey hoping for that, so that¡¯s fine.
¡°To make things worse~¡¡ we¡¯re all sleeping in a group¡ even though I have no money¡ a private room would¡¯ve been nice ~¡¡¡±
¡ºPompous twit¡¡»
¡°Ugh, I haven¡¯t been called that in a long time¡ ugh¡¡±
I had been on ships when I was little, but I had never been on a sea voyage like this.
I went down within a few hours of the ship leaving, and I had lost my entire meal.
¡ºThe semicircr canal is weak¡ for someone like you who deals with Martial Arts, tis a fatal w, is it not?¡»
¡°I, is that so¡?¡±
¡ºWell, you have a good sense of bnce, but this unfamiliar swaying affects your body¡ my oh my, you may have gained a lot of strength in Cacretale, but¡ you still need much training.¡»
¡°I¡¯m ashamed¡¡±
For the time being, I spat everyst drop into the sea, and a feeling of weakness, as if my stomach had be empty, enveloped my body.
¡°Fuh~¡¡¡±
¡ºDear me, for you to spew a mess again¡ even though you had my assistance, you have defeated two of the Six Supremacy, Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi¡ how to put it¡¡»
¡°I ged it¡¡±
¡ºYou do not, after all! Cur, though you have gone to great lengths to save face in front of females, should they see you now, Kron, Shinobu, the maid, and the princess would be disappointed, would they not?¡»
¡°Uh~¡¡ ah I see¡ wh?¡±
While I was still groggy, I tried to envision the ¡°what if¡± I heard in Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
¨D¨DEarth¡ are you okay?
¨D¨DHoney, let me rub your back.
¨D¨D Here, Little man. I hope you have a good night¡¯s rest now.
¨D¨D Hey, how pathetic, Earth! Hah, aren¡¯t you still the hero¡¯s¡
No, with the exception of one person, I have a feeling that everyone will be kind to me¡ oops don¡¯t go there. With Phianse, that¡¯s no longer the case.
But¡¡
¡ºCur¡ no, well, I too certainly share your feelings¡ but then¡ that little girl¡ what of Amae?¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
I thought it over once more.
How would Amae feel if she saw me now?
Amae would say it quite clearly¡
¨D¨D Older brother ¡ vomit¡¡ uncool
¡°I-I don¡¯t like that!?¡±
¡ºThen hold firm! Good? Sure, sailing can be difficult for the uninitiated, but at the same time, a ship is an excellent way to develop your sense of bnce! And tis outrageous that a growing sprout such as yourself throws out his meal! Ingest it properly!¡»
¡°O, Osu!¡±
¡ºAs such, tomorrow we will have a training session on the ship. Actually, I would like tomence right away, but¡ surely you are tired today.¡»
¡°Oh¡¡±
Somehow, I thought Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s expression would say something like ¡°do it now¡± or ¡°have guts,¡± but that wasn¡¯t the case.
In the end, he was concerned and ordered me to rest.
¡ºI am not that demonic.¡»
¡°Kuhahaha, not demonic, you¡¯re the Demon King¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Oi¡ is now the time for that?¡»
¡°I love my kind master.¡±
¡ºL, lo¡ d, durd¡ anyway, rest for today! Y, you hear? Rest is part of training! Overwork is counterproductive! Today, as expected, your limit has already been exceeded after consecutive battles. Without adequate rest, your training will simply be ineffective. Tis not kindness. Do not misunderstand!¡»
¡°Yes, yes¡±
With that being said, I was certainly at my limit, so Iy down on the deck of the ship and looked up at the stars in the night sky.
At that moment, all at once, the taut thread of tension was cut, and in an instant, I began to doze off.
¡°Yeah¡ I¡¯m really¡¡ so tired¡¡±
I already know this feeling. In a few seconds I¡¯ll be asleep¡ and¡¡
Even though the stars are so beautiful, I can¡¯t afford to enjoy them¡
¡°But¡ training on a ship¡ what¡ to do?¡±
¡ºHmm¡ well, the voyage takes but a few days¡ I suppose¡¡ might we go fishing on deck?¡»
¡°Huh? Fishing? You¡¡ can even fish?¡±
¡ºDo not underestimate me. In the past, when I was camping solo, I fished for bass, and when I went out to sea, I would bend my rod and catch everything. Yes, I even caught one of those ¡®Great Demon Tuna¡¯¡¡»
Fishing? When I was little¡ oh, no¡
¡ºHmm~? Oi, child! Are you sleeping? Oi, listen to my tale¡¡¡¡¡¡ fuh~¡¡¡¡¡»
Sorry¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar, limit¡ sleep now¡
¡ºThree days by ship¡ and then, across thend¡ well, it will not take much longer¡ former Shiznautmy¡¡ Paripi, really has the master key¡ speaking of which¡¡ Shiznautmy¡ it was the hometown of the maid which I destroyed, but the child did not say anything¡ not even after hearing it would be the next destination¡¡»
Yes¡¡ I¡¯m powerless to do anything¡ the night breeze feels so good¡ the deck is hard, but it feels sofortable that I don¡¯t want to get up anymore¡
¡ºHmm¡ child¡¡ today, truly¡ you really gave it your all. Be sure to take a good rest, okay?¡»

Chapter 248: Intermission (Mother) â‘¡
Previous
Chapter 248 ¨C Intermission (Mother) ¢Ú
Outwitted by my own son.
It wasn¡¯t a fluke coincidence or the haphazardness of the moment.
Clearly, we were entangled in a scheme.
Those children in Cacretale said that Earth had defeated Jamdi¡¯el.
If he could even set up a n to take both me and Hiro for fools, it may really be true.
But still, that move that put us both on our asses. It was all because he had the strength to do it.
Earth got stronger. He had grown. And he hasn¡¯t shown us the bottom of it yet.
Anyway¡¡
¡°Nuooooooooooh!¡±
¡°Deryaaaaaaaaah!¡±
We, a couple of idiots, have no choice but to give chase.
First of all, to quickly get off this uninhabited ind and to the shore on the other side¡ we swim.
¡°Daah, sharks and whales keeping to eat us!¡±
¡°Toriyaaa!¡±
We both moved our hands and pped our feet, just aiming straight for the other shore.
On the way, we almost ran into giant fishes that tried to swallow us, but we kicked them all away.
¡°Alright, Mamu! We¡¯re almost at the shores of Bethreal!¡±
¡°Yes, thest spurt! Watch me, even if I¡¯m so pathetic that my son tripped me while I was a little out of practice from actual battle, I¡¯m not so old that I can¡¯t swim! I¡¯m forever 17!¡±
My son rejected me, outwitted me, and escaped again right in front of me.
But we weren¡¯t about to let this stop us and just go home.
Both of us doggy-paddled non-stop as we headed for the other shore¡
¡°Ahaha¡me~¡ they¡¯re both so uncool.¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
But then.
¡°¡¡ eh?¡±
¡°¡ Hah? Huh? What??¡±
Above us, we heard a voice mocking us for being ridiculous.
Above? The whole area here is the sea, isn¡¯t it? From above¡?!
When Hiro and I looked up at the same time, and right there was¡
¡°Ah!?¡±
¡°Hey, you¡¯re¡¡±
A woman in a pure white long coat, with her long brown hair pulled back, was floating in the water.
We knew her.
She was much older than when we knew her, and her body has matured a lot.
But we still remember her face, and most of all, that ribbon, although a little worn out, she has cherished it since ¡°when we were together¡±.
¡°You¡ Espie!?¡±
¡°Wait, no way¡ Espie! It¡¯s not Espie! H, how are you here? What are you doing here, no, where have you been?!¡±
Arade, who we once entrusted our lives and souls to each other and fought together against the Demon King Army led by the Great Demon King.
¡°Long time no see, Hiro¡ Mamu¡¡ you kinda¡ look like idiots.¡±
Although she was less than ten at the time, she had the same title as Hiro and I as one of the Seven Heroes, and made a name for herself in the world with her many battle achievements.
But¡¡
¡°Y, you, where have you been this whole time? I heard you disappeared from the Kingdom of Bethreal¡ Granpa Mikado didn¡¯t know where you were¡¡±
¡°Yeah, I have to exin things properly¡ ah~, but, ah~~~, nnnngh!¡±
There¡¯s a lot I have to ask of this girl¡ but, something else went through both my mind and Hiro¡¯s at the same time.
That must be prioritized over everything no matter what¡
¡°Damn¡ but Espie. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, what you¡¯re thinking, what you¡¯ve been doing up until now, but I¡¯m sorry! We¡¯re in a hurry right now!¡±
¡°Yes! Do you remember? Our son, Earth. You held him when he was a baby, didn¡¯t you? That kid is running away from home right now¡ and now he¡¯s working with Jamdi¡¯el!¡±
¡°Espie, use your ¡®powers¡¯ to get us to shore!¡±
¡°And if you can, we¡¯d like you to carry us to him as well!¡±
That¡¯s right, Earth.
Espie also went missing and we have not seen each other for several years. A dearpanion. I¡¯ve been looking for her for a long time. I know that.
But now we¡
¡°I know~¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Huh?¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard a little bit about it in Cacretale¡¡±
¡°What!?¡±
Espie said something unexpected. Espie¡ do you know the sequence of events?
¡°It seems that the worst man who made his little sister cry is running around, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ heh? ¡¡ Huh?¡±¡±
Little sister¡¡? Don¡¯t tell me, Espie is talking about Amae?
Eh? Why?
¡°Fufufu, don¡¯t you know? I don¡¯t tolerate men who make their little sister cry.¡±
At that moment, something disastrous overflowed from Espie, who gave a smug smile.
No, eh? You won¡¯t forgive a man who makes his sister cry? I don¡¯t remember her being¡¡ that kind of girl.
¡°¡¡ Hiro?¡±
Yeah. Certainly, Espie was like a little sister to us. Or rather, I thought of her more like a sister than apanion.
But¡¡ I couldn¡¯t believe she had such a side¡ but¡¡ for Espie, was there an older brother or something like that¡ I don¡¯t know if there was any kind of feud between the two of them¡
¡°No, wait, wait! I don¡¯t know anything about that. I, don¡¯t have anything¡ to do with¡¡±
¡°Th, that so?¡±
¡°Y, yes¡ I don¡¯t know¡ I can¡¯t¡ should¡¡±
Hiro also shook his head quickly as he looked out to the sea with a flustered expression as if he had no idea¡ but¡¡
¡°Uh, uh~nnh¡¡±
Is there anything wrong with us? Such self-indulgent thoughts led to disappointment and rejection by our beloved son.
That¡¯s why Hiro couldn¡¯t easily say that he didn¡¯t know, so I felt a little confused and hastily tried to look back on the past.
But¡¡
¡°Ahahaha, you¡¯ve be boring, Hiro and Mamu.¡±
¡°¡±Nuh¡?¡±¡±
¡°In the past, they didn¡¯t think about anything, they acted foolishly with the idea of action before thought, and still achieved great battle results. But now, they don¡¯t know anything about their blood-rted child¡ they¡¯re worried about being dim-witted¡ and lost confidence¡ I can¡¯t imagine that from the two of them in the past.¡±
Espieughs coldly as if stunned. As if disappointed in us.
She had always been a much younger child than us, but there were times when she was a little mature because of her ¡°upbringing¡±, and sheughed at us when we did something stupid.
But she neverughed that coldly¡
¡°Have I changed?¡± Hiro¡ Mamu¡¡±
¡°Espie¡¡±
¡°Am I the same? Just like Hiro and Mamu¡ I guess I¡¯ve grown up to be a boring adult.¡±
And I couldn¡¯t believe she wasughing so sadly¡ staring off into the distance¡ what are you thinking¡ what are you seeing¡ but¡¡
¡°Espie¡ we want to go after our son.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°But¡ now¡ are you¡ worried about something? Something you need our help with¡¡±
Our priorities were set.
But, to see Espy like this, after a few years and all grown up, with such an expression, I can¡¯t help but wonder if there is ¡ something going on ¡ that we don¡¯t know about¡
¡°I¡¯m okay. I don¡¯t need any help from either of you, and I¡¯m not in trouble. But¡¡ even though I think I¡¯ve matured a bit¡ I¡¯m getting more and more nervous, so¡¡ it looks that way, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Because¡ soon my wish wille true¡ in a few days¡ if only he could go to those ¡®ruins¡¯.¡±
Wish? What do you mean? She mumbled all her thoughts and doesn¡¯t tell us what they mean.
It looks like we have nothing to do with it.
And then¡¡
¡°Well, let¡¯s get going now, okay? You two who don¡¯t get enough exercise, you can swim a little longer. Until ¡®that time¡¯¡ I don¡¯t want you to move around ¡®him¡¯.¡±
¡°Wait!?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Espie chuckled once more, and then turned her back on us in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
¡°Hey, Espie! What! Are you going to leave us like this? I mean, who is he? No way, it¡¯s not Earth!¡±
¡°Hey, Espie!¡±
¡°You¡¯re wrong if you think you can ask me to tell you anything. That¡¯s why your adolescent son is so rebellious, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Even though we hadn¡¯t seen each other at all in years, it was as if she knew everything that had happened to us¡ but it didn¡¯t seem she would tell me anything about it¡
¡°I only came here today to see your faces on a whim. Or maybe it¡¯s to relieve the tension of what¡¯s about to happen¡ either way,ter.¡±
¡°Hold it!?¡±
Without giving us a single nce, she flew away.
What¡¯s going on, exactly?
Me and Hiro, who were said to be heroes who defeated the Great Demon King and saved the world as the Seven Heroes¡ now¡¡ it¡¯s like we¡¯re out of the loop on something that¡¯s happening around Earth!
Author¡¯s Note
I really appreciate your support. Thank you very much for the ¡ï drill injection in thest few days. Finally, yesterday, the overall rating exceeded 140,000 drills. The drill was stagnant for a while, but I am very happy that everyone has umted various things due to refraining from going out, and that you twisted it into me as if to relieve that depression. Turning my ass to everyone¡ I can¡¯t sleep with my legs turned.
With 860,000 drills remaining, the ambition of 1,000,000 drills can be achieved. I will continue to do my best, so please continue to mercilessly pour me in.

Chapter 249 ¨C New Theme
The sea can be calm at times, but it can suddenly go raging.
On the rough deck, it was bumpier than I expected,
In such a situation, I started training again with Tre¡¯ainar after getting rid of my fatigue.
But,
¡ºNo, do not move your foot. On the spot¡ stand on one toe and move not a single step.¡»
¡°Nu, u, uh~¡¡±
¡ºAfter a certain amount of time, switch to the other side. Remain properly bnced.¡»
I stood on the tip of one toe on a swaying deck.
I had some confidence in my sense of bnce.
I had done magical Magical Yoga at the Cacretale dojo, and I fought against Jamdi¡¯el with unstable footing, so I didn¡¯t think it was a big deal.
But unexpectedly, I lost my bnce.
¡ºFufufufu, how is it? Unlike yoga practiced on the dojo floor where the footing is firm, or in battle, where you can fine-tune your body bnce by constantly moving your feet, tis quite difficult to maintain bnce without moving a single step under unstable conditions, is it not?¡»
¡°Nugu, gu¡ nu¡¡±
¡ºBy training in a blessed environment such as a dojo, you will only acquire the textbook version of a physical body. The most important thing is to acquire the senses and core that can quickly adapt to unusual environments.¡»
It¡¯s not just the ship¡¯s rocking. The waves were irregr, and the wind was also blowing, throwing me off bnce.
Certainly, if I could acquire a sense of not being shaken and a core that would not move even in such a situation, I think that would be quite appealing.
But Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s menu doesn¡¯t stop there.
¡ºFurthermore, tis about time to reel it in!¡»
¡°The float has sunk! Here it is!¡±
The moment I felt a slight vibration in my hand, I raised my arm in one fluid motion.
In my hand was a fishing rod.
I pulled up the fishing rod with the line hanging in the sea at once. But¡
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡º¡ My oh my¡¡»
There was nothing on the hook.
¡°Ugh¡guh¡¡±
¡ºYou have never gone fishing, have you?¡»
¡°No¡ just a little bit when I was small¡ though it was a river, not the sea¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar seemed to sigh and sneer at the same time.
Yes, it was quite a challenge to fish, which I was not used to, while bncing on one foot on tiptoe.
To be honest, I defeated Mr. Machio and won the tournament, and even though I had Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s cooperation, I was feeling a little more confident about myself after defeating Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi, yet he was stilling up with new training exercises like this.
How many new training programs does Tre¡¯ainar have?
But no, I didn¡¯t think I would even go fishing¡
¡ºHowever, tis pathetic to not catch a thing¡. the child has no catch¡ fufun¡»
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I couldn¡¯t catch a single fish! But¡ when I was little, the fishing rod had more craftsmanship put into it¡ as expected, the quality of this rod is¡¡±
I was ashamed by the fact that I still couldn¡¯t catch a single fish, but I tried to make excuses by looking at the cheap, simple and well-made rod that the old sailor lent me, which made Tre¡¯ainar even more astonished and said ¡®My oh my¡¯.
¡ºFufun, The quality¡ of the rod? My oh my¡ despite being my disciple, he is so pathetic¡ shallow and superficial¡¡»
¡°Fugh!¡±
Recently, I¡¯ve been able toplete the various assignments that Tre¡¯ainar had set for me, so I wasn¡¯t too dismayed, it¡¯s been a long time.
But, as it stands, it¡¯s frustrating.
At any rate, I¡¯ll at least catch one¡
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll show you! My seriousness.¡±
¡ºIs that so~?¡»
¡°Yes. If I remember¡¡ Sadiz used to do this¡¡±
When I was young, I used to go fishing with Sadiz, who caught a lot of fish.
At that time, I just thought ¡°Sadiz is so cool¡±, but now I should be able to trace her movements.
The technique of letting the rod¡¯s line fly to a distance. Like drawing a circle on your head¡
¡°Go! Tornado shot!¡±
¡º¡Oh¡ I suppose tis meant to be¡ the Spin Cast¡ casting that uses centrifugal force to increase distance¡ but¡¡»
¡°Ah! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!¡±
My toe slipped and I fell, and the rod slipped out and I threw it right above me¡ it hit me straight in the head.
¡°Damni, ugeah!¡±
¡ºMy oh my! Tis not a technique to fly with just the arms. Proper waist rotation is necessary¡ well, more than that¡¡»
Damn it, I was standing on one tiptoe, and then tried to throw it by force, so I lost my bnce.
¡°That, damn, some. This time it¡¯ll¡¡±
¡ºWhat you are attempting is meaningless. In the first ce, without knowing where the fish are, throwing it blindly would be pointless. Where you are now. The environment surrounding you. The movement of nature, such as thend and wind. You must feel all that urs in the world.¡»
¡°Well, even if you say such a difficult thing¡ anyway, one more time!¡±
¡ºWait, wait, calm down for a moment.¡»
What a blunder, and the other crew members were giggling at me.
How embarrassing. I immediately got up and tried to throw it back again, but Tre¡¯ainar stopped me with an astonished expression.
¡ºMy goodness¡ do you really understand the purpose of this training exercise in the first ce?¡»
¡°Nuh¡What?¡±
The unexpected question reminded me of what I was just doing.
On the swaying deck, stand on one tiptoe for a certain period of time. After a while, I would switch to the other foot.
Fishing in that state.
Well, if you think about it, you can roughly understand the purpose of this training.
¡°I have. I mean, you can train your bnce, but at the same time, you also train the instantaneous power to pull up without missing the moment when the float sinks, right?¡±
When I answer that¡
¡ºBzzz, not so,¡»
Tre¡¯ainar crossed his arms to make an ¡°¡Á¡± and said that.
Eh? I¡¯m, wrong!
Ever since I was instructed to do this training, I always thought that was the intention.
¡ºThis is just to improve your ¡®senses¡¯¡ including your bnce. I never thought of instantaneous power or any such thing.¡»
¡°Eh, hn? Hmm~?¡±
I didn¡¯t immediately understand the meaning of that remark.
¡ºTis not the rocking of the ship, but the waves¡ read the currents of nature¡¯s sea. Furthermore, how the sea wind flows, the position of the sun, the temperature, how the weather changes, how life inhabits the unseen world at the bottom of the sea, and what kind of world it is¡ the world¡ perceive and understand all things¡ and then, make allies of them.¡»
¡°¡¡¡hah?¡±
Somehow, the story had be tremendously grand¡what do you mean?
¡ºChild, this ship travels but for a few days. Fishing will just be for fun, but the theme of your training from now on will be¡ to sense all creation and aim to improve your own senses.¡»
¡°A, all creation?¡±
¡ºYou have acquired ¡®Magical Breathing¡¯ in Cacretale. As a result, it became possible to sense and take in the magical power that flows into the atmosphere. However, currently your senses are only perceiving ¡®magic power¡¯.¡»
With that, Tre¡¯ainar stood on the stern of the ship with his arms spread out.
¡ºElements of nature¡¡ spirits¡¡ mana¡ to befriend all nature in this world and rule it¡ the essential power¡ to be a king¡¡ in other words¡ the power of ¡®magic¡¯!¡»
¡°Huh!¡±
Up until now, I thought I had learned magic techniques to some extent through breakthroughs and Magical Breathing, but¡ magic here?
It was an unexpected theme that left me momentarily speechless.
Author¡¯s Note
I wanted Tre¡¯ainar to yell ¡°I¡¯m the king of the world!¡± on the deck, but if I did, the ship might sink. Well, I don¡¯t want to make another mess, so I stopped before reading too much into it lol
Well, another week hase and gone, but let¡¯s do our best for the week ahead. I will also turn the drills that you gave me into power and do my best.
Chapter 250: Enough Already
Chapter 250 ¨C Enough Already
The fact that the theme of my new training was the power of magic surprised me, partly because I honestly did not expect it, but at the same time, I was excited.
¡°Heh¡ magic huh~¡±
So far, I have acquired and developed various techniques through my training with Tre¡¯ainar.
Fist fighting. The Breakthrough. The Great Magic Spiral. Magical footwork. Magical Breathing. Earth Misdirection Shuffle.
But, although they were great moves, they were more like techniques.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Magic Swordsman, but it wasn¡¯t that I didn¡¯t admire mages at all.
Everyone had an ambition to ¡°use great magic that would amaze everyone¡± at least once.
Tre¡¯ainar, the Great Demon King, will teach me magic.
I couldn¡¯t help but be thrilled.
If I learn great magic¡
¨D¨D Huh? You can¡¯t believe it¡ you mean my magic is too weak to believe, right?
The surface is cool, but the heart throbs!
¨D¨D This is¡ beyond Mega-ss, and one level beyond even Giga-ss¡ it is Terra-ss!
I mean I could do stuff like that!
¡ºNo¡ I will not teach you magic to do that, now will I?¡»
¡°Huh!? What, you won¡¯t!?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar denied my secret scheme with exasperation.
¡ºBecause¡ though you can now use Magical Breathing to unleash spells continuously, with your current magic power capacity¡ the Terra-ss is ¡®not yet¡¯ within reach.¡»
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
¡ºI had considered teaching you Giga-ss magic at Cacretale, but based on your power and experience so far, it would be more fruitful to refine the Great Magic Spiral if tis Giga-ss power you seek.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡ºSupposing you learn Giga-ss magic, by your current senses, [Even if you can activate it, controlling it would be beyond you]. As such, I decided to consider that after going through the proper order.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar simply meant that Icked magical power, or it would be too much for me to handle with my current senses.
Even if Terra-ss is impossible, if it¡¯s Giga-ss, can I still activate it? But not having the necessary senses is¡
¡ºWell still, I can understand your delusion, can I not? Even I, during my first confrontation with Hiro and the other Seven Heroes, left them so overwhelmed by my magic that they were taken aback. I would say things to them like, ¡®Tis merely Bit-ss,¡¯ and to my pleasure, their faces turned pale.¡»
¡°¡¡s, so you were that extraordinary¡¡±
¡ºNext time we spar in the dream world, I shall demonstrate my magic.¡»
¡°No, you showed me a lot of your magic when we first met!?¡±
¡ºTis different now than it was then. You have be strong enough to defeat the Six Supremacy, albeit with my assistance. If it is your current self¡ no, because you are as you presently are, you may be able to more concretely understand the power of my magic.¡»
Hearing that, I certainly felt the difference of power with Tre¡¯ainar when I met him, so I could only say ¡°I don¡¯t really understand it, but it¡¯s amazing¡±.
But now that I¡¯ve be a little stronger, I might be able to understand ¡°how amazing¡± Tre¡¯ainar is.
I felt like I was being praised in a roundabout way, and it was a little embarrassing.
¡ºAnd¡ with an improved sense of magic, you will be able to understand even more deeply¡¡»
¡°Nuh, muh¡¡±
So you could say it¡¯s training to understand Tre¡¯ainar more deeply.
I see.
I thought it sounded a little weird, and Iughed too.
Besides¡¡
¡ºFurthermore¡ the next destination is¡ the ruins of Shiznautmy, which was once hailed as the Sacred Land of Surface Magic¡.¡»
¡°Oh¡¡±
I didn¡¯t really want to ask for details, but this guy told me.
A city that Tre¡¯ainar destroyed with his own hands in the past. Sadiz¡¯s hometown. The ce where Sadiz lost everything.
But I don¡¯t have the right to say anything about what happened during the war, and I didn¡¯t want things to be awkward with him, so I¡¯ve been avoiding the topic¡
¡°Ah, that¡¯s right¡ the ruins deep underground in thend¡ huh? That¡¯s what you want to see.¡±
¡ºMm-hmm. The ruins stretched endlessly deep into the depths¡ the deepest part of which even I could not reach¡ but Paripi will provide the key that leads there¡¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡ What¡¯s there?¡±
¡ºI do not know, hence my curiosity, as such I want to have a look¡ that is all. Some things worry me a little.¡»
¡°What are you worried about?¡±
¡ºApparently, both Paripi and Jamdi¡¯el had more or less set foot in the ruins after my passing¡ I wonder what happened¡ to the things that I once sealed.¡»
What should I do¡¡ he brought up the topic himself, so I don¡¯t know if I should ask too deeply¡ I mean, when I thought about it¡
¡ºI do not mind.¡»
¡°Oh¡¡±
He overheard me¡
¡ºI care not. After all, everything I see and hear from here on out will be with you.¡»
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar smiled, as if I could ask anything.
¡°Hey there, brother. Did you catch anything?¡±
¡°Tsu¡¡±
I was in the middle of a conversation, but this was on the ship. Naturally, there are other people.
I had been fishing on one leg since the morning, and the burly sailor who lent me a fishing rod talked to me with a smile.
¡°Ah, no¡ I can¡¯t catch any¡¡±
This was just a part of my training, and whether I can fish or not is secondary¡ even if I tried to make excuses, I had a hard time catching it normally, so I answered honestly.
¡°Dahahaha, you couldn¡¯t catch a thing all morning, how pitiful ~¡±
¡°Is this your first time fishing? Okay, let me show you how to fish.¡±
¡°Hey, lend me your rod.¡±
The Old sailors were patting me on the head in a familiar manner. To be honest, I¡¯m in the middle of training, so I¡¯d like you to leave me alone¡ that¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to behave in a bad way, and for the time being, I nodded and smiled.
¡ºNuh¡ even though I was conversing with the child, to be interrupted so¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also thought that my training had been disturbed, and was somewhat miffed with a pouting expression.
After all, even though this Demon King is amazing, there are times when he¡¯s childish¡
¡°So, are you alone? Even though you¡¯re young, traveling by yourself must be tough, eh?¡±
¡°Hmm, ah, well, is that so?¡±
¡°Traveling? Where are you off to?¡±
The destination was asked in the flow of the conversation. Well, I guess there¡¯s nothing to hide, so honestly¡
¡°I thought I¡¯d go to that old Magic City¡ Shiznautmy.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Huh!?¡±¡±¡±
The old sailors reacted a bit to my words. Well, the name of Shiznautmy itself is well-known.
No, or did they suspect me?
Come to think of it, a kid like me going to and that was already destroyed more than a decade ago¡
¡°That ce is now¡¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right¡¡±
And the old sailors nodded to each other, as if something was bothering them in response to my words.
What the heck?
¡°I heard that a big shot of the Empire is visiting with a high-ranking demon for a joint investigation.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°A few days ago, this big shot was going through by boat, so we were advised to be careful not to block the route.¡±
¡°Is that so¡?¡±
I didn¡¯t know there was such an event. Well, I¡¯ve been isted from the outside world for the past three months, so I¡¯m a little bit out of the loop myself¡
¡°Yeah, it was a pretty big deal, wasn¡¯t it? There are Imperial fleet escorts along the route that this ship is currently on.¡±
And, the fleet¡ well, if you¡¯re dealing with a high-ranking demon, there¡¯s no telling when some with past grudges might attack.
I mean, did my father and mother skip out on that job¡ or were they fired? It¡¯s my fault, but¡
¡°Besides, at that time, the person in charge on the Empire side was a hero known to everyone in the world!¡±
¡°Yes, he was. It¡¯s one of those Seven Heroes, after all! The Archmage Benlinerve, now that¡¯s a big deal!¡±
¡¡ Hmm?
¡°Bubo!?¡±
¡ºNunu¡¡»
I couldn¡¯t help but gush at the name I¡¯ve heard so often, or rather, I used to meet a lot.
Tre¡¯ainar also frowned.
¡°Oh? Naturally, you know about him, right brother?¡±
¡°You were born after the war, weren¡¯t you? Well, you still know about the Seven Heroes at least, right?¡±
¡°When we were younger, we were heroes ourselves ~¡±
If I told these old men that the parents who gave birth to me were like that too, they¡¯d be surprised¡ well, they wouldn¡¯t believe me.
And that Archmage, he¡¯s my childhood friend¡¯s father¡
¡°Heh, I see¡ one of the Great Seven Heroes is an escort¡¡±
¡°Yeah. Thinking back, I¡¯m kind of d that we¡¯ll be passing the same route that the Seven Heroes went through a few days ago!¡±
The old men rubbed the bridge of their noses with their fingers in delight as they said so.
But I never thought that would have happened.
Well, I don¡¯t dislike that person, I don¡¯t get unnecessarily nervous when I meet him like His Majesty the Emperor, and he¡¯s not as stiff as Rebal¡¯s father, he¡¯s like a friendly older brother who always smiles, but I haven¡¯t seen him at alltely~¡¡ wouldn¡¯t it be bad if I ran into him?
¡°Oh~, that happened a few days ago. Anyway, was there any problem?¡±
¡°Well. I mean, no one attacked them at all, and no trouble came their way. No matter how many lives you have, it¡¯s not enough.¡±
¡°Haha, that¡¯s true.¡±
¡°Oh! Not only the Archmage, but also the high-ranking demon who was escorted in the first ce¡¡±
I smiled wryly and the old man nodded.
But, from the mouth of the old man ¡
¡°Anyhow, it was¡ the Six Supremacy¡¯s ¡ºDamsel Commander¡» after all~ ~¡±
¡ºUwhat!?¡»
¡°Bofu?!¡±
I was so surprised that I burst out again, but it was even more when it came to Tre¡¯ainar¡ no¡.. eh? Wait a minute¡
It was supposed to be a leisurely and slow two-person trip, wasn¡¯t it?
Why do I have a bad feeling even before we evennded?
I¡¯m begging you, I¡¯ve had enough already¡ so please don¡¯t let anything extra happen for a while!!
¡°Hey¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡ºSay¡ Child¡¡»
No, better yet¡
¡º¡±Can we just quit?¡±¡»
Jokingly, half-seriously, we uttered this with a wry smile.

Chapter 251: Fundraising 2
Chapter 251 ¨C Fundraising 2
To put it bluntly, I have known the Seven Heroes since I was a child. He is my childhood friend¡¯s father.
Of course, he also knew what I did in the Graduation Match.
If he found out, I would be arrested and possibly deported.
I¡¯m sure my father and mother would hear about it, and I honestly don¡¯t want to see them.
In addition¡¡
¡º¡¡ Child¡¡»
¡°Yes¡¡±
¡ºThe matter of a Six Supremacy working along the Archmage ¡ that personage is a General whom I recognize, talented, capable, and powerful¡ feared by mankind¡¡»
¡°Well, I¡¯ve only heard the name before, but¡ she¡¯s that great, right?¡±
¡ºMm-hmm. Well, she was also worthy of the title of Six Supremacy¡ but¡ well, how should I put it¡ I doubt she would be exemry for the education of children today.¡»
One of the Six Supremacy, who was conducting a joint investigation of the ruins that was also our destination, was acting with Uncle Ben.
Although she was a former subordinate of Tre¡¯ainar, he had a sour expression.
¡°I mean, Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, isn¡¯t there a decent guy among the Six Supremacy!?¡±
¡ºFrom my perspective, the Seven Heroes are much the same!?¡»
Even so, recently, with back-to-back battles against the Six Supremacy and encounters with father and mother, I¡¯ve had my fill of legendary warriors.
I can easily imagine a development that will surely not be peaceful if we meet, so I was hesitant and so was Tre¡¯ainar.
And then, I thought again.
This time, the destination is the former city of Sorcery, Shiznautmy.
The existence of ancient ruins that are said to lie underground was something that Tre¡¯ainar was concerned about.
But, the new government of the Demon Realm and Imperial officials were now investigating.
Then, by any chance, would we be unable to enter the ce while they are investigating?
¡ºHmm¡ child¡¡ speaking of the master key, Paripi said that he would contact you about how to receive it, but he has yet to do so. With the magic crystal¡¡»
¡°No, I don¡¯t want to contact him from here¡ I don¡¯t know, but¡ since it¡¯s that guy, if I contact him, he may think that I trust him somehow, and I don¡¯t want to¡¡±
¡ºWell, hmm¡ certainly, considering the current situation¡ there is no need to hurry so¡¡»
Yes, although Tre¡¯ainar was interested in the ruins, he¡¯s not in a hurry to get there.
¡ºIn particr, without the Master Key for the deepest part of the ruins, they will be unable to investigate the its depths¡ if so, tis better¡¡»
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s better to go after the hindrances leave¡¡±
¡ºHmm¡ we need not take risks on non-essential errands.¡»
So, rather than forcing yourself to go and risk running into them, why not just take it easy and go after they¡¯ve left and everything¡¯s settled down?
That being the case¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡°Hey, brother! Bring me those boxes of bait, one at a time! And a too!¡±
We concluded that we didn¡¯t need to hurry to get there now.
So that¡¯s how we decided to stay a little while at the port town we arrived in.
¡°Aiyo!¡±
¡°Hey, kid, don¡¯t push yourself to carry them all! One by one¡ whoa?! Seriously! Just one box is heavy, but you lifted all six at once!?¡±
¡°Captain~, should I take this on board?¡±
¡°Ah, oh, yeah! Good work! Ah, hey, carry the sorted boxes over there!¡±
¡°Right away.¡±
¡°Oh, don¡¯t carry them all at once! They¡¯re for sale, so carry each box carefully! Don¡¯t drop them!¡±
¡°Eh~, it¡¯s such a pain¡ ah~, fine!¡±
¡°Hey, when you¡¯re done, bring me some ice from there!¡±
¡°Yes Yes¡±
I arrived in a foreignnd. A different continent east of the Empire.
It was the ¡°Avosoa Continent¡± that we arrived at in a few days by ship from the Empire of Depaltia.
It was arge continent that had developed cultures different from that of the Empire, such as the Kingdom of Japone, which was also Shinobu¡¯s home. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯vended there, too.
And the ship arrived at ¡°Ghenkan¡±, a bustling port town with a huge fishing port.
Countless fishing boats of all sizes were anchored, and once ashore, a huge fish market was spread out before my eyes, and everyone was moving in a hurry.
It¡¯spletely different from the peaceful port town I set off from.
I didn¡¯t have much money, and on top of that, I needed funds in order to live from now on, and even to pass the time until the Empire and the Demon Realm investigative team return¡
¡°Hey, the captain is calling for you over there. He wants you to help unload the cargo.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
The old sailors had talked me into doing some work at the fishing port.
I took off the academy uniform I had been wearing until now, wrapped a washcloth around my head, and started running around the fishing port doing the heavy lifting and unloading.
¡°Phew¡ I always ate fish without thinking about it, but it¡¯s a lot of work~. If I hadn¡¯t been doing muscle training at Cacretale, I would have been pretty tired.¡±
¡ºWell, being a fisherman is hard work.¡»
¡°Sure, they all have good muscles, and so did the fishermen of Cacretale.¡±
¡ºIndeed. Moreover, fishermen are early risers. You need great mental and physical fortitude.¡»
¡°And even though I¡¯m only doing odd jobs, the money I get from working all day¡pared to the allowance I got at home¡¡±
¡ºCur, never mention that in public. It will worsen the atmosphere.¡»
¡°Because¡ even if I get a day¡¯s pay, it will disappear with the cost of food¡ after that, the lodging fee¡ also, if I buy extra books¡¡±
¡ºUwa! No, books are not superfluous! Books are a source of knowledge, and there is nothing unnecessary about incorporating them! Alternatively, you should have stayed at a cheaper inn!¡»
¡°Because that first inn I saw was shabby, the beds were hard, and the rooms were infested with crusty ck bugs¡pared to that, the Cacretale church was always clean~¡¡¡±
¡ºWhere did you lose the survival spirit you tried to acquire when you met Aka?!¡»
¡°Ah~ah¡ normally, I would have registered as a Hunter, killed powerful monsters and hunted bounties, and made loads¡¡±
¡ºNo choice. You cannot register as a Hunter.¡»
¡°Argh~. I forgot that I couldn¡¯t register as a hunter in the city of Honeyborough because I didn¡¯t have an ID card¡¡±
At first, the old men at the fishing port were like, ¡°Is this kid gonna be okay?¡±, but now that I have trained with Tre¡¯ainar, I can do simple tasks without any problems.
If I had anyint, it would be that the pay I could receive for a day¡¯s work, which was nothing but chores, weren¡¯t that much.
But, while saying that I was dissatisfied¡
¡°Heeeeey, brother! Get your ass over here!¡±
¡°Hmm? Oi, are they calling for you over there again?¡±
¡°Oh, ooh, obuh. If I don¡¯t listen to them, they¡¯ll nag and nag and nag, those old men¡ Aiyo, what is it?¡±
¡°Hey, you can go home today. Good job.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
The old man hands me a dirty, sticky bag with hands that are rough and rugged frombor.
It was the pay for a day¡¯s work, and the moment I received it, even though the amount itself shouldn¡¯t be much, I felt the weight of the bag, and at the same time, I felt somehow fulfilled.
¡°Brother, you ate lunch yet?¡±
¡°Hmm? No, I¡¯ll go to the restaurantter¡¡±
¡°Thene with us! I¡¯ll treat you!¡±
¡°Eh, is that okay!?¡±
¡°Gahahahaha, you¡¯ve been working hard for thest two days! I heard you¡¯re from the Empire, so I was worried about the type of riffraff you might be, but you¡¯re alright! You¡¯re wee to work again tomorrow!¡±
He crumpled my head with his dirty hands. But it didn¡¯t feel bad.
¡°Geez¡¡¡¡ Hehe¡¡±
Yeah, that¡¯s right. I had never worked to earn money for myself before.
¡ºOi, do not squander money, you hear? Funding is essential for the journey ahead. Tis better to have savings.¡»
¡°Oh, I know. The money I got from the Go game with Shinobu three months ago is gone with the cost of the ship to get here¡¡±
Work to earn money by yourself. Living on the money you earn. This kind of thing made me feel like I¡¯ve grown up a little bit, and it felt good.
¡ºAnd by considering things carefully, that you have been empty-handed on the journey so far was a problem. As such, it would be best to procure the essential ¡®items¡¯ for the trip at the equipment shop here.¡»
¡°Kuhahaha, that¡¯s true. I should have done that at Honeyborough or Cantidan!¡±
¡ºAfter your meal with the fishermen, we will go to the equipment shop in this town. See what is avable, and I shall see what I can find for you.¡»
¡°Hehe, I¡¯m not an adventurer or a hunter, but¡ preparing for a trip? That sounds like fun, too.¡±
And even though I was worried about the money I had, I was kind of excited to know that I would be able to get the things I would need from now on with the money I had earned.
Before I ran away from home, I was receiving pocket money every month, so I didn¡¯t have to worry about money. I could usually buy whatever I wanted.
After running away, I survived a little in the mountains, but I met Mr. Aka, who gave me a hot meal and a ce to sleep for free.
From there, we camped out during the journey to the next town, but Shinobu, who was secretly tracking me from the shadows, regrly gave me rice balls.
After that, there was a brawl in the Cantidan, and then I was kidnapped by Jamdi¡¯el, and ended up in Cacretale, where I was served breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the church every day without having to do anything for my meals.
So this was the first time I had done anything like this.
¡¡That¡¯s right¡¡I mean¡¡
¡°Somehow, it might bete, but¡ I feel like my journey has begun.¡±
¡ºHmph, tis reallyte now.¡»
Yes, our journey was just beginning!
Such a refreshing feeling¡
[Hihahahahahahaha~~, hey~, boss~! Hello ? It¡¯s the boss¡¯ reliable right-hand man~!]
¡¡ Such a refreshing mood was ruined by the voice that came from the magic crystal that I had tucked away in my pocket just in case.
¡º¡¡¡¡ child¡¡»
¡°¡¡ ignore it¡¡±
I can¡¯t hear it. I didn¡¯t hear anything¡
[Hmm~? You can hear me, right~? Hihahahaha, pretending you can¡¯t hear me? I¡¯ll keep talking until you respond~?]
Damn, even though I finished my work, refreshingly dripping with sweat!
[Hey, where are you now~? Well, from the port where I had Bro meet you¡ the destination of the liner is¡ around the port town of Ghenkan, right?]
And how do you know? I mean, that¡¯s why I¡¯ve had it with the Six Supremacy!

It¡¯s rare in life to write a story thatsts over a million characters, but during that time, I published two books and startedics, but with the support of good people, I noticed that it continued like this.
But, as Earth said, ¡°Our journey was just beginning¡±. I hope you can still stay with us.
Recently, I¡¯ve been evaluated by various people with the ¡ï type drill below and my ass has been gouged out, but everything is a source of strength. Please continue drilling! And I will do my best to get more people to read it!
And I¡¯m sure there are many things to do now, but please take care of yourselves.
Chapter 252: The Devil’s Aid
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!
Chapter 252 ¨C The Devil¡¯s Aid
[Boss~, you there~, if you don¡¯t respond~¡¡ Right! Coman dear! What¡¯s the title of the erotic book Earth uses most often!?]
[Huh? Wh, what are you a, asking the girl!? N, no way, the ero that Earth uses often¡ ¡®Pleasure Craze!¡¯. The Busty Cool Big Sister Collection¡¯ ¡ ugh~, I¡¯m going to cut your tongue with a rusty saw, okay?]
At the same time as a voice I didn¡¯t want to hear, I heard another voice, so I hurriedly took out the magic crystal from my pocket and spoke up.
¡°Hey, Coman! You, just how much do you have to piss me off!¡±
[E, Earth, I¡¯m sorry!]
¡°Hey, drop that feeble act! You don¡¯t think you have anything to be sorry about, do you?!¡±
Coman was a traitor and a follower of Paripi.
It seemed that she was properly looking into my secrets, but to be honest, I don¡¯t know how much she knew, so it may be the worst.
¡°So, what is it, why did you suddenly contact me?¡±
[Don¡¯t be so cold~, boss, I¡¯m just trying to make sure you¡¯re not having any trouble on your trip, like the delivery of the Master Key~]
¡°Quit that ¡®boss¡¯ thing! Also, if you give me the Master Key, don¡¯t worry about the rest. It¡¯s just unnecessary meddling.¡±
[There you go again~, so that¡¯s the Ghenkan fishing port, right? In that case, I got a man there¡ he¡¯s in charge of the smuggling operation, so I¡¯ll tell him to assist, shall I?]
¡°Like, I, Said! That is unnecessary!¡±
[Looks to me, you are in need of women, right? Then, why don¡¯t I send Coman over? You can use her as a practice partner for making babies with Kron someday. I¡¯ll gift you a pure girl that no one has ever touched!]
¡°Such an offer is ava¡ªeh? Bastard, what is that proposal!¡±
Oh~, I was surprised. Wait, is this one of his turfs?
What do you mean by smuggling? Well, in a big fishing port like this, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if one or two people were doing bad things, but¡
Also, he said women, a woman!
If Kron and Shinobu didn¡¯t like me, I might have considered it a bit, but¡
[Such a thing¡ h, how cruel, Earth¡ certainly I don¡¯t have big breasts, or a great figure¡ but I can y the role of a flesh doll, can¡¯t I?]
No, I can¡¯t. This girl, after she exposed her true identity and defiantly took it upon herself, I couldn¡¯t understand her anymore.
[Hihahahaha, well, if Coman dear is not your type, I¡¯ll prepare something else, okay? I¡¯ll send you a catalog of the best professional escorts for you to choose from ?. Shall we get down to business?]
¡°What business? You¡¯re the one who messed up the whole conversation!¡±
I feel like I¡¯ve been yelling non-stop since the beginning. Getting involved with this guy is really crazy¡ but that catalog was a bit ¡ no, I don¡¯t need it, do I? But I¡¯d like to take a glimpse at it¡
¡ºOi¡ Child¡¡»
No, no, just kidding. So don¡¯t look at me like I¡¯m a bug, Tre¡¯ainar.
[Well~, the Master Key will take a few days to arrive, but I will entrust it to the person in charge of the smuggling ship that is heading there. I¡¯ll contact you when it arrives, so be sure to receive it properly, okay?]
¡°¡¡ Smuggling ship¡¡ hey¡¡ isn¡¯t that kind of reckless? If that¡¯s the case, I don¡¯t want anything to do with it at all¡¡±
[Hihahaha, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just weeds. Weeds ?]
¡°¡¡ Weed? Why are you smuggling that stuff?¡±
Paripi doesn¡¯t have a bounty on him. But, just like in the Heavenly World, this guy happilymits malicious deeds. He doesn¡¯t care about thew or anything like that.
I wondered what such a man was smuggling, but it was just weeds¡
¡ºOi, child¡ ask what nt the weeds are¡ well, in any case¡ they are most likely addictive¡ when used¡¡»
¡°Hmm? Addictive when used?¡±
And when I wondered if I was making a big deal out of it, Tre¡¯ainar was muttering beside me with a sullen expression.
Then, as I mentioned it, from the other side of the magic crystal¡
[Oh? Hihahahaha, hey, you¡¯re very perceptive, Earth. No¡.. perhaps the one by your side kindly informed you~?]
¡°Oh? What¡¡ bastard¡¡±
By now, he probably knew most of the answers. However, I am not going to confirm it.
It¡¯s kind of unsettling.
[Hihahahaha, well, putting that aside, you got the Master Key, right? And there¡¯s one more thing I want to give you.]
¡°Wh-what? What is it¡¡±
[You¡¯re short of funds, aren¡¯t you~? I don¡¯t suppose you can register as a Hunter anyway.]
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, I was a little ticked off.
The frustration came precisely because I just learned about the sense of aplishment that I had steadily earned money through sweat.
¡°What? Don¡¯t tell me, bastard, are you trying to give me cash? In that case, that¡¯s none of your business. I¡¯m in the process of learning the value ofbor. I don¡¯t want to get any favors from a bastard like you.¡±
From the flow of the conversation, I thought that Paripi must be trying to help me with money.
That¡¯s why I refused to ept the offer.
But¡¡
[Hihahahaha, you don¡¯t want cash? But you¡¯ll need something else, right? You have to ept it.]
¡°What?¡±
[Because it¡¯s something you definitely need to have in order to travel the world, Boss.]
A must-have for traveling around the world? Other than money?
Not knowing what it was, Tre¡¯ainar and I looked at each other for a moment and tilted our heads.
Then, from the other side of the magic crystal, Paripi ¡
[Of course. It¡¯s your ¡®fake ID¡¯.]
¡º¡±What?!¡±¡»
To ept something like that!
I¡¯m begging you, don¡¯t get people involved in crimes by uttering illegal things like you¡¯re breathing!!

Chapter 253: It’s All My Parents’ Fault
Chapter 253 ¨C It¡¯s All My Parents¡¯ Fault
Even I, who have been called naive so far, know that smuggling and fake IDs were a ¡°don¡¯t do¡±.
If I get involved in something like that, I¡¯m clearly a criminal.
¡ªLittle man¡ it¡¯s all my fault that he ended up like this. I¡¯m sorry, Master, Madam¡ this atonement is¡
Sadiz cries.
¨D¨DAra~, so Earth is now a hunter? Disguising his identity? I don¡¯t know exactly, but I know this much. Earth is Earth!
¨D¨DAs expected of Honey. He took down a big bounty, so tonight, let¡¯s celebrate! Fake identity? We often fake our identities too, right? That doesn¡¯t matter!
Kron and¡ Shinobu¡ wouldn¡¯t care? What¡¯s up with that? I can imagine a scene where the reaction would be something like that.
But¡¡
¨D¨DEarth! This hopeless guy, is my¨D¨D¨D¨D
Well, I don¡¯t care what Phianse thinks, she always made a fuss no matter what I do, and in her position it can¡¯t be helped.
No, I¡¯ve recently learned that it¡¯s all said and done with me in mind, but¡ well, let¡¯s leave it at that.
Anyway, the more I get involved with Paripi, the more I¡¯ll be led down the path of evil.
¡°I don¡¯t need such a¡ª¡±
¡ºHold on, child!¡»
¡°Eh¡ Huh?¡±
¡º¡¡ about that¡¡ wait a moment¡¡»
I was about to refuse Paripi, when Tre¡¯ainar suddenly stopped me.
What?
¡º¡¡ indeed cash¡¡ would be a hindrance to the child¡¯s growth, but¡ an identity card¡¡»
¡°?¡±
¡º¡¡ I see¡ hmm¡ muu¡ um¡¡»
No no no, what? Why the hell is Tre¡¯ainar hesitating?
A forged certificate, we¡¯ll be caught the moment they are exposed.
[Hihahahahahaha, well, I don¡¯t think it will take that long to reach you¡ but maybe it¡¯s better not to rush too much for now~]
¡°Hmm? Oh, hmm? I mean¡¡±
And, without knowing the situation here, the other side talked freely on their own, let¡¯s calm down a little!
[For some reason~, that Benlinerve bastard and lil¡¯ Norja~, it looks like they¡¯re currently headed for Shiznautmy~]
¡°Nuh!?¡±
[I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to run into them, do you~? Well, Benlinerve is~¡¡ not my favorite grinning face either.]
Come to think of it, this guy was supposed to have died in the past war after being defeated by Rebal¡¯s father and Fu¡¯s father.
[Besides~, I wouldn¡¯t rmend lil¡¯ Norja either~¡¡ no, if that¡¯s the kind of girl you¡¯d want to climb the stairs to adulthood with, I, as your subordinate, won¡¯t say a thing?.]
Well, even if he¡¯s rotten, he¡¯s still quick on the uptake.
He took what I had on board ship for granted.
But this guy¡
¡°¡¡ Hey¡¡ Norja is a formerpanion of yours, just like Jamdi¡¯el, right? And yet you never even told any of them that you¡¯re alive?¡±
[Oro? Ororororororo?]
¡°¡¡ what is it¡¡±
[No, no, it¡¯s a boomerang? Did the boss just say that? You¡¯re the one who¡¯s running away from home, even making the princess and the other children of the Seven Heroes cry~]
¡°Oh, I, I didn¡¯t really¡¡±
[Or have you already patched things up ~? That¡¯s boring~, boring boring~]
¡°¡¡ you want me to throw away the magic crystal?¡±
[Don¡¯t, boss~, how cold~?]
I was just a little curious.
I was wondering if this guy was going to meet up with any of his former friends at my destination.
Not to mention, this is the guy who even Jamdi¡¯el and Tre¡¯ainar thought was dead.
A reunion with friends who once fought together¡ I thought, but that wasn¡¯t in this guy¡¯s character.
In fact, he¡¯s the kind of guy that even the same friends would think, ¡°I wish he had died¡±. In fact, Jamdi¡¯el was like that towards him.
[Hihahahahaha, well, be careful with lil¡¯ Norja¡ although it¡¯s good that the boss has someone more attentive than I am to give advice¡]
¡°Nuh¡¡±
[You know, Norja had a thing for Hiro~, and for that reason, she objected to Hiro marrying Mamu, so she mighte at his son, you, with her messed up feelings~?]
¡°What¡? My father?¡±
That was news to me. One of the Six Supremacy¡ My father¡? Tre¡¯ainar?
¡ºI was aware¡ that Norja was trying to force her own distorted disposition onto Hiro, but¡ to even go so far as to oppose marriage¡ that I never knew.¡»
Ah? Tre¡¯ainar looked away and seemed reluctant to tell me ¡¡ seriously?
Then, there was an amusedugh from Paripi on the other side of the magic crystal.
[No~, until about ten years ago, that is, for about a hundred years, lil¡¯ Norja¡¯s preference was humans in their thirties¡ strong, especially bearded dandy men¡ she would train them like dogs by coring them, stripping them naked and exposing their ugly figure until theypletely broke down panting. But maybe because of Hiro, she hase to be drooling over young men of about 15 year olds who waver between immature boys and young adults~¡¡ well, I guess her type still lean towards Hiro~, but her sexual tastes~, it¡¯s the boss, Hiro¡¯s son, that damn perverted loli hag ~?]
I don¡¯t know much about the Damsel Commander, one of the Six Supremacy, as I¡¯ve only heard her name in textbooks.
I¡¯m learning what kind of fellow she is for the first time today.
But I didn¡¯t expect such a¡
¡°I knew it, there is no one decent among the Six Supremacy¡¡±
¡ºNo, hence why I say the Seven Heroes are no different¡¡»
The habits of the Six Supremacy gave me goosebumps and left me speechless.
Somehow, although she had a distorted worship of Tre¡¯ainar, I somehow came to see Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s affection for Kron and Amae.
That said, Tre¡¯ainar wouldn¡¯t be too happy to hearints about his former subordinates.
So I took all the me¡
¡°It¡¯s all, the fault of that asshole of a father.¡±
I decided to sum it up.
[Hihahahahahaha, what what~? Well, I would agree on Hiro being the cause of everything, but ~, hearing it from his own son¡¯s mouth, as a former Six Supremacy, I¡¯m deeply moved~¡¡ or¡¡ have you been brainwashed like that by ¡®someone¡¯ who had a bad influence on~? Hihahahaha]
¡ºHowa!? What was that, Paripi! Oi, child! Inform the fool this instance! I may influence the growth of the child, you will never be brainwashed! The child¡¯s rebellious streak is an innate distortion of puberty, hence our connection is a deep rtionship of trust!¡»
Paripi¡¯s little provocative words caused Tre¡¯ainar to make a fuss by my side, but Paripi knew the answer, so if I say that to him, it will be an admission to it all¡ so I can¡¯t say it, can I?
Besides, there¡¯s nothing wrong with having a deep rtionship of trust with Tre¡¯ainar, but to say that directly to Paripi¡ it¡¯s a little awkward¡ this guy will definitely tease you¡
[Hihahaha, well, so that you don¡¯t meet lil¡¯ Norja for that kind of thing, you should investigate the ruins after those two leave.]
¡°Okay, I got it, but¡ somehow, from what I¡¯ve heard, those Six Supremacy seem quite unhinged, but even after the end of the war, is it okay?¡±
[Ah~, that¡¯s fine. Unless she¡¯s in pervert mode, lil¡¯ Norja is a proper General. Even if the Seven Heroes are former nemesis, as long as Hiro and Mamu don¡¯t get involved, it¡¯ll be fine. In the past, she and Espie of the Seven Heroes used to get along like cats and dogs, but I¡¯ve heard rumors that now they¡¯ve be good friends. Well, I don¡¯t even know where Espie herself is.]
Anyway, I understood that it would be better not to go to the ruins when that Norja was investigating after all.
For the time being, we decided to work at this fishing port at our leisure, at least for a few days until we could get what we could from Paripi.

Chapter 254: Enjoyment
Chapter 254 ¨C Enjoyment
Dealing with Paripi was giving me a headache¡ but honestly, I don¡¯t really care about that right now.
¡°Okay, it¡¯s starting to look good. Brother, we¡¯re almost there, okay?¡±
Wh¡ what in the world is this?
¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll feed you as much as you want.¡±
¡°Freshly caught, the best.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t get this taste in the Empire or anywhere else.¡±
The fish market, which was bustling with fishermen and shoppers, was transformed at night, with stalls serving fresh fish and sake lining the streets.
Instead of being inside a building, they turned over the cases used for work and used them as tables, and used stuff like buckets as chairs, how do I put it ¡ no¡¡ well, that¡¯s fine.
The problem is¡
¡°This Ghenkan shrimp, you just boil it, and it¡¯s so good.¡±
In the well-used pot in front of me, a wholerge shrimp was simmering in boiling hot water.
Shellfish and other fish were also being boldly thrown into the pot.
How can this be called cooking? It¡¯s very different from the kind of meals that Sadiz always cooked.
And yet¡
¡°Gulp¡¡±
Just by looking at it, it looked ss yummy. No, I can already tell it¡¯s good just by looking at it.
Then, judging that it was about time, the old men handed me the boiled shrimp.
¡°Here, crack it open and bite into it!¡±
¡°Ah, oh, guys¡ huh? Just like this?¡±
¡°Yup, just snap it off!¡±
It wasn¡¯t cut into bite-size pieces, and there was no fork or anything like that.
What¡¯s more¡¡
¡°Um¡ any lemon¡ sauce or something?¡±
Nothing to vor it? So this is just boiled seafood in hot water, right?
When I questioned that, the old guys pointed their fingers and said, ¡°Tut tut tut,¡±¡
¡°Just as it is.¡±
¡°Eh, eh~?¡±
At least I want salt or garlic or something like that¡ isn¡¯t this taste wanting?
Since it looked so good already, it would be great if you could season it a little more¡ well¡¡ I guess it can¡¯t be helped¡
¡°Hot hot¡ Oh, oooooh!¡±
I felt a little dissatisfied, but when I broke the tail of the hot shrimp, it made a snapping sound, and there was plenty of flesh ¡ oh¡ oh, it¡¯s soft and plump!
W, what is this? It¡¯s full of flesh, and yet like this¡
¡°Well, then¡ Thank you for this meal¡¡ ah~¡¡ umm¡ eeeeehh!!!???¡±
With my heart pounding, I took a bite.
At that moment, the inside of my mouth¡¡the ¡°sea¡±¡ itself spread out.
¡°aaat~¡±
¡°Hihihihi, what do you think?¡±
¡°Hehe.¡±
All the old guys were looking at me with smug faces asking, ¡°How is it?¡±.
No, I don¡¯t need any¡ seasoning? It doesn¡¯t need anything. Huh? What is this?
For me, the best food in the world was Sadiz¡¯s cooking.
But these ingredients ¡ they¡¯re the best I¡¯ve ever had in my life¡
¡°Hey, brother! Go on and on!¡±
¡°This shellfish doesn¡¯t need any seasoning either, because they¡¯re already salty!¡±
¡°Come on, let¡¯s get some booze, booze! Cheers to the promising fishermen!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Ooooooooooh!!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
Before I knew it, the old men eating at the other tables around me were also cheering with drink bottles.
¡ºFufufu, it seemed like you have finally tasted the true pleasure of traveling, child.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar? Ah, sorry, for only me¡¡¹
¡ºAll you need do is materialize it in the world of Vierter. And so we can share the same taste! Well, even if you do not do so, I still remember much of this¡¡»
It¡¯s been three months since I left the Empire. But, in Cacretale, where I spent most of it, Sadiz was cooking for me.
Well, it was an ind country surrounded by the sea, so the fish was good, but it was cooked.
That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t expect to be impressed by eating something that was just boiled like this.
¡ºThe seafood caught in the waters near the Avosoa Continent is delicious. Even I acknowledge that.¡»
¡¸Heh~¡¡¡¹
¡ºAnd the alcohol as well. I suppose they were trying to make drinks that go perfectly with fish¡ well, tis too soon for you.¡»
I see. Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s approval was quite a big deal.
Until now, I thought that ¡°The Depaltia Empire is the center of the world¡±, so to me, everything there, whether it was industry or food culture, was the best in the world.
But that was arrogance, or rather, I simply didn¡¯t know any better.
After a few days of traveling by ship, I was like¡
¡ºTis so, child. To know the world is not only about fighting and defeating the powerful enemies of thend. Tis also important to expand your world by experiencing the cultures of othernds.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºAs I may have said before, the world you live in is not the entire world. Only when you acknowledge the existence of a world other than your own will the world expand.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Osu¡¹
¡ºFuh¡ well, even if I say so¡ tis precisely because we could not do so, that for hundreds of years humans and demons have constantly¡ no. Such talk would make the meal unptable. Eat up now.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar told me with a slightly sorrowful look.
If I¡¯m not mistaken, we had talked about this in Honeyborough, right?
Come to think of it, when I was in Cacretale, I was training all the time, so it¡¯s been a long time since Tre¡¯ainar taught me anything other than fighting.
¡°Ora, brother, here¡¯s another one! Chin up, eat some more!¡¯
¡°Hey, brother, you want a sip of this? Wha~t, it¡¯s just a sip, you¡¯ll be fine, right? It¡¯s for the atmosphere, the atmosphere!¡±
¡°Here, here, heeere!¡±
¡°Oh~, yeah, you¡¯re a runaway from the Empire, huh?¡±
¡°15? That¡¯s nice~, that¡¯s about the time I first got on board my father¡¯s boat, who was also a fisherman, as an apprentice.¡±
¡°Seriously, you must have a lot of power, brother. I¡¯ve never seen anyone who can carry such heavy loads at once.¡±
¡°If you keep working like this, you¡¯ll be a promising rising star!¡±
¡°Okay, let¡¯s sing!¡±
¡°Bring me some booze! Here, you get a ss of booze, too, brother!¡±
¡°Oh, if you wish, I¡¯ll teach you how to drink!¡±
¡°Okay~? Young ones don¡¯t know how to drink alcohol~, there are idiots who think that it¡¯s cool to drink all at once~, that¡¯s a disservice to alcohol!¡±
¡°Yeah, right. First of all, enjoy the aroma¡ yes, I¡¯m going to have alcohol in my body, so I¡¯m going to prepare my guts and mind.¡±
¡°First, a little lick, just enough to get it going.¡±
¡°And next, give your body a little thirst with this snack.¡±
¡°So, another little lick¡ a little bit¡¡±
Even so, the old men were already drunk, and their faces were already red and they were making a big fuss.
I¡¯m supposed to be the guest of honor, but they¡¯ve already gotten excited on their own and even offered me a drink.
Even though, I don¡¯t drink~¡¡
¡ºEven granted, curs, do not do anything unwarranted to the child¡ however¡¡ tis still early for the child to partake, but¡ recalling the time spent with Bro and in Cacretale so far, perhaps I should teach him how to drink a little¡¡»
¡¸Eh, Tre¡¯ainar!?¡¹
¡ºAlthough alcohol destroys brain cells and internal organs¡ tis also one of the pleasures in life¡ it reveals the truth of people¡ well, in the world of Vier, one may enjoy the ¡®mood¡¯ and ¡®taste¡¯, and not worry about destroying your body¡ fu~¡ I¡ have not had a one-on-one drink since? ¡¡ and that Hiro¡ is peculiar. Now then¡¡ what cheese is best¡¡ what alcohol do we start with¡ wine¡¡ no, whiskey? Japone sake? Well, it would be pleasing to educate him over a variety of drinks¡ ahem, it would be to the child¡¯s benefit.¡»
As I was being mobbed by the old men, Tre¡¯ainar muttered.
No, no, I¡¯m not supposed to drink at my age, right?
I mean, was it just my imagination or does Tre¡¯ainar seem a little excited?
¡°So~, how long will you work here, brother?¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah~¡¡ well, just for a few days¡ I thought I would save up some money, buy some tools and then go on the road again.¡±
¡°That so~, I wish you could keep working here~, ah well, what the heck~! Alright, brother, looks like you¡¯re about to take a tour of this continent, but it¡¯s your first time, right? We¡¯ll show you the ropes. No!¡±
For now, I also decided to enjoy the new world and culture I¡¯ve just learned about.
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯m not going to start with the food, you know? You can see from my Twitter feed that I can¡¯t do that, right? Sigh¡¡ I want to get married soon¡
Chapter 255: Impressions
Chapter 255 ¨C Impressions
When I was a kid, we yed make-believe as the Hero¡¯s Party.
It was only in the Imperial City, but for me, Phianse, Rebal and Fu, it was an adventure.
In the house, we used the mud dumplings made in the sandbox as food rations, equipped with the fallen leaves as medicinal herbs and the water in canteens as potions.
So while I had some knowledge of the items we used for pretend y and as part of the Academy¡¯s sses, this was the first time I¡¯ve ever bought them as equipment for an adventure.
I was a little nervous about the idea of preparing for an adventure.
¡°I¡¯m finally here, the purveyor of Adventurers and Hunters¡ the Equipment Shop!¡±
Ghenkan is a thriving fishing port, but naturally there were many visitors and adventurers from foreign countries, and there were guilds and equipment shops that cater to registered Hunters in the town.
Moreover, since it is arge town with arge poption, the equipment shops seem to have all kinds of misceneous goods, so they¡¯re pretty big.
¡°Leader, I bought 20 potions, 5 mana water to restore magic power, and some rations.¡±
¡°Alright, all that¡¯s left is weapons. I want to buy a higher-grade sword with the reward money fromst time.¡±
¡°Hey, Leader, I want a new staff too~¡±
The crowd was full of young people who looked like they were just starting out as adventurers, as well as those who appeared to be seasoned veterans.
Until now, I had only been involved with fishermen, inns, and diners, so I was finally able to see the others.
And the conversations I could hear were just what you would expect from adventurers, which made me even more excited.
Moreover, I had earned the money for today¡¯s shopping by working on my own.
It¡¯s not much, but it¡¯s not the allowance I received before I left home, nor the money I got from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Go games.
¡°Oh¡ so many weapons¡ hmm~¡¡¡±
When I entered the store, the first thing I saw was the weapons section.
Swords of various shapes, spears, axes, bows and arrows¡ but¡¡
¡°¡¡ somehow¡ there doesn¡¯t seem to be much that¡¯s worth buying.¡±
Weapons were exciting to look at, and I was excited to head to the weapons section, but upon closer inspection, I could tell that the steel didn¡¯t look that good or well forged, even to me.
If anything, it¡¯s¡
¡°There are usually a lot better stuff in the armory of my house¡¡±
The weapons collected by my father and mother in the mansion were more diverse, and I could tell just by looking at them that many were powerful weapons.
Compared to that, at a nce, there¡¯s nothing that great¡
¡ºOf course not.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºYour father and mother are among the Seven Heroes. Surely, they possess renowned swords and legendary weapons that will be heard of in all corners of the Surface World and even in the Demon Realm¡ temper your expectations from a equipment shop frequented by the riff-raff hunters in these parts.¡»
¡¸Ah~¡¡ is that so?¡¹
What¡¡ I guess that¡¯s right, if you say so.
¡¸That¡¯s right¡ I thought they might have Excalibur, Gungnir, Balmung, or something like that¡¡¹
¡ºImpossible!¡»
¡¸Haha, just kidding. No matter how ignorant I am, I know that there¡¯s no way legendary weapons that you¡¯ve only heard about in fairy tales are here.¡¹
¡ºCertainly, In the first ce, I broke Excalibur in a battle hundreds of years ago, and Gungnir is currently held by Solja of the Seven Heroes¡ the father of that imperial princess has it. Ah, but as for Balmung, tis a part of my collection, so¡ unless the private room I used when I sought solitude was discovered, it should still be there!¡»
¡¡ hmm~? I had to look at Tre¡¯ainar twice because he just said something amazing.
Eh? Were they all real weapons?! Oh,e to think of it, this guy imed that he also broke the legendary sword, Kotetsu, when we were in Cantidan¡
¡ºWell, never mind the weapons. Your fighting style does not require weapons in the first ce. The recent fight against Paripi was merely a special case.¡»
¡¸Well, yes, but¡ it has a kind of romance to it¡¡¹
¡ºRather than a weapon for you¡ hmm¡¡ oh, that!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nced around the weapons section, and suddenly stared at one ce, his eyes shining.
¡ºIs this not something good? Tis so nostalgic¡ child, be sure to procure that ¡®multi-tool knife¡¯ there.¡»
What the excited Tre¡¯ainar rmended to me was a knife.
I followed his gaze to see what it was all about¡ there wasn¡¯t much of a crowd, and there was a box there, and when I looked inside, I saw arge number of small handle-like things in it.
Were they unpopr and unsold? Things that no one buys?
¡¸Huh? Knife¡¡ this? Isn¡¯t it just a handle?¡¹
¡ºTis foldable. Try pulling on the groove.¡»
¡¸Oh, oh, it¡¯s out¡ tiny¡¡¹
I was told that it was a foldable type, so I tried to pull out the de, but it was the kind of knife that hunters use as a weapon¡ just much smaller.
Even smaller than Shinobu¡¯s kunai.
It would only do a little damage in a fight with a monster or something, right?
I mean, I can only imagine the scene of the knife breaking if I stabbed it into Machio¡¯s abs.
But Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s smile didn¡¯t change.
¡ºHmph. So ignorant. Tis not forbat, tis equipped with various functions that are ideal for outdoor life.¡»
¡¸¡¡ What?¡¹
¡ºTry pulling something other than the knife.¡»
¡¸Other¡ oh, huh? It¡¯s a file, a spoon and a fork¡ even scissors! Wow, isn¡¯t this handy!¡¹
I thought it was a knife, but that wasn¡¯t the only function that was folded up.
When I was surprised at the item I had never seen before, Tre¡¯ainar gave me a smug face¡
¡ºFufufufu, tis something I devised in the past¡ I had the soldiers of the Demon King¡¯s army always carry it with them as a necessity. A Multi-tool knife¡¡ otherwise known as the ¡®Magical Survival Knife.¡»
¡¸Heh~¡¡ wait, you came up with this!?¡¹
¡ºWith the war is over, I suppose they are trying to incorporate the culture of the Demon Realm into the Surface World¡ but¡¡»
So you¡¯re the inventor!? But it¡¯s certainly convenient enough for him to be smug.
It¡¯s not heavy at all, fits in your pocket, and yet it has many uses.
I mean, isn¡¯t this a must-have for sure?
And Tre¡¯ainar also wondered a little about it ¡
¡ºBut why is there such a surplus? I do not think it would be strange if they sold out, but¡ tis also written as a great bargain!¡»
Yes, that¡¯s what I thought too.
With such a convenient item, as a swordsman, a spear user, a mage, or whatever your upation is, if you¡¯re going on an adventure, you can have one for each person and you won¡¯t lose it at all.
And yet, why¡
¡°Oh, we have a young adventurer here~¡±
¡°Oh, how cute. Ufufufu, are you an apprentice?¡±
¡°Oh? That knife¡ is ah~¡¡¡±
From behind me, a group of people who appeared to be from some adventurer¡¯s party started talking to me.
Even though there are some other young guys out here, it may be rare to have someone as young as 15 years old like me.
Then, when they saw the knife I was holding in my hands, they smiled wryly¡
¡°You probably don¡¯t know this because you¡¯re young, but if you carry that knife too much¡ it won¡¯t be good for you, okay? Well, not everyone uses one.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°That¡¯s ~, what the Demon King Army once used¡ erm¡ for those who know more or less the old days¡ it¡¯s not a good image to have? Well, maybe the younger generation that doesn¡¯t know about the war will use it without knowing it, but not yet, right?¡±
With just that look and the words that had been spoken up to that point, both Tre¡¯ainar and I understood everything.
In short, using the same item that the Demon King Army used would somehow be bad for one¡¯s image.
For me who wasn¡¯t even born at the time, it would have been fine, but those who were born at that time, let alone veterans, might have fought in the war.
From their point of view, even if the war is over, the items used by the Demon King Army were¡ ah~, it¡¯s like that¡
¡°Keh, adventurers and hunters who are said to be synonymous with freedom shouldn¡¯t be bound by strange things¡ such a shame.¡±
I just said what I thought.
¡°Hey, you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care, I¡¯m buying it.¡±
¡°Oh, hey!¡±
¡°Even if the image is the worst to humanity, my impression is it¡¯s the best in the world ?.¡±
Such a convenient and cheap all-purpose item¡¡ it¡¯s a waste not to have it just because you¡¯re worried about what those around you would think.
Well, of course, I don¡¯t know how these guys feel.
Some of them may have had family who were killed by the Demon King Army who had this, or they may have had unfortunate encounters.
That¡¯s why I don¡¯t understand the feelings of those people who say, ¡°I don¡¯t want to use it¡± and ¡°people around them may not think well of it¡±.
But from my point of view, it¡¯s such a small matter.
I mean, it¡¯s toote for that.
¡¸Well¡ Tre¡¯ainar, what else do you rmend?¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡¡ fu¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºHmm¡ well, then, portable food and herbs shoulde next!¡»
I thought I saw Tre¡¯ainar smiling happily at me¡ well, let¡¯s not mention that.
Having decided that, I headed to the next section.
Chapter 256: Assortment
Chapter 256 ¨C Assortment
¡ºThe bag ¡ hmm, tis a little weak, but¡ considering the budget, this should do. Pack your clothing into this.¡»
¡¸Osu.¡¹
¡ºAlso, cups, bowls, dishes¡ hygiene care products¡ also, a cloak¡ to wrap around your body and sleep at night. Tis the cheapest, so it should be fine. Tents are expensive. Hmm, this is about it!¡»
¡¸Heh¡ that¡¯s how cloaks are used¡ I thought they were used because they looked cool¡¡¹
¡ºAlso, string and a bit of cloth to patch torn clothes.¡»
¡¸I can¡¯t sew¡ ah, and don¡¯t we need medicinal herbs and other stuff? Like potions¡¡¹
¡ºA minimum amount of medicinal herbs with abdominal pain and antipyretic effects will suffice. Instead of buying potions to heal injuries, tis cheaper to collect materials in the forest and concoct them. You do not require magic recovery potions either, because you can use Magical Breathing.¡»
¡¸Huh? Making potions¡ if I remember correctly, you need a qualification¡ and I also need the concoction recipe¡ ah¡¡¹
¡ºWho do you think I am? If necessary, I can teach you the perfect recipe for concocting any potion.¡»
¡¸Kuhaha, please do¡ is this all for portable provisions?¡¹
¡ºHmm, what you need is something lightweight,pact, and protein-rich. Some sausage, cheese, a little condiment for cooking¡ and as nutritional food, a staple of the Demon King Army¡ tis a portable food called ¡®Calorie Friend¡¯.¡»
As instructed by Tre¡¯ainar, I picked up various tools to buy to fit within the amount of money I had on hand.
I had honestly thought that all I needed to do when it came to adventure was to buy ¡°weapons¡± and ¡°recovery items¡± at an equipment shop.
So if I hadn¡¯t been taught by Tre¡¯ainar, I would have made errors from the beginning.
¡¸Sheesh, we¡¯re short¡ of money¡¡ for a lot of things, right?¡¹
¡ºNot an issue. Tis all the cheapest. However, since you will be camping out for a few days, you will not be able to eat at a restaurant or stay at an inn, can you?¡»
¡¸Oh~¡¡ finally, I¡¯m a survivor¡¡¹
I took the tools I was carrying and went to the checkout section.
Although the baggage was massive, the price of each item itself was not so high.
It was also a big reason that we didn¡¯t touch expensive weapons or potions.
Well, thanks to that, I¡¯m going to be throwing myself into survival from today, so I¡¯m a little depressed because I¡¯ll be saying goodbye to a warm bed.
¡ºEven so, this was a surprisingly good equipment shop¡¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
Then, while heading to the checkout section, Tre¡¯ainar murmured in admiration while looking over the store again by my side.
¡ºI never expected Calorie Friend, as well as a Magical Survival Knife¡. to be sold at such low prices.¡»
¡¸Oh~, sure.¡¹
¡ºBesides¡¡»
Well, another reason we didn¡¯t go over budget was that some of our purchases were super cheap.
¡¸Besides?¡¹
¡ºHmm, neither this Calorie Friend¡ nor the Magical Survival Knife¡ seem to be imitations of those used by the Demon King Army¡ the materials, the raw ingredients, as far as they are concerned¡ they appear to have been manufactured in the Demon Realm.¡»
¡¸Huh? The Demon Realm?¡¹
¡ºUh huh, in other words, this equipment shop ¡ it means that they are procuring products from the Demon Realm¡¡»
¡¸I, is that so?¡¹
I don¡¯t know, but if Tre¡¯ainar says so, it must be so.
No, the war between the Surface World and the Demon Realm has already ended, and such deals are gradually emerging.
In fact, my parents were working to further promote that friendship.
So it¡¯s not surprising that this store was stocking such products¡
¡ºStocking products from the Demon Realm is inherently costly. There would be shipping costs and tariffs¡ despite that, how¡ are they sold at such low prices?¡»
¡¸Heh¡ the shopkeeper¡¡ must be an oddball.¡¹
¡ºHmm, the point is this knife and portable rations are not so cheap. The fact that they would go through the trouble to obtain stock from the Demon Realm and sell at this price¡¡ their sense formerce¡ in some respect¡ involves some personal attachment, and I feel they are purposefully selling these to make an impression.¡»
I clearly thought, ¡°No one buys it because it has a bad image, and it¡¯s selling at a bargain¡±.
But if what Tre¡¯ainar says is true, it¡¯s certainly a little concerning.
Why stock expensive products that don¡¯t sell and sell them at a very low price? What was the point of such a thing¡
¡ºHmm?¡»
¡¸What¡¯s wrong?¡¹
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar suddenly turned his gaze to a certain corner. It¡¯s the grocery section.
We should have already bought what we need to buy, but what else? And it¡¯s a shelf we didn¡¯t go through.
On the shelves were bottles of various kinds. Some kind of seasoning?
And Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºNuh, oooooooooooh, are these not spice!¡»
¡¸¡¡?¡¹
¡ºT, this is, nunuh, and such a wide variety¡ why do they have so many spices in an equipment shop? Basic turmeric, cumin, coriander¡ and¡¡»
It looked like a spice section. Anyway, there was certainly a wide variety.
As expected, I can¡¯t tell which one is what, even if I look at the color of the spices in the jars, but Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s eyes were shining.
And at the same time, he was grinding his teeth.
¡ºNuh¡ tis a splendid sort¡ if only there was this¡ even the ¡°Great Demon King Curry¡± that I developed through trial and error¡ ugh¡ however¡¡ with the budget¡ w, we could cut down a little¡ no, no, tis impossible¡ nuh¡¡»
¡¸Oh¡ are they that good?¡¹
¡ºFool! You are unaware of how beneficial spices are for your health! Digestive system, liver function, brain function activity, appetite enhancement, nourishing tonic, fatigue recovery, metabolism¡¡ ah~, anyway, this is ¡ if only¡ nuh¡ Curry¡¡»
It¡¯s rare that Tre¡¯ainar was seriously worried.
I mean, what the heck is curry?
No, no, no, everything I¡¯m about to buy was the bare minimum.
We can¡¯t cut any off to add spices, right?
But Tre¡¯ainar seems to know that too.
That¡¯s why he looked so frustrated¡
¡ºEeei, no choice. Child, that is all we will purchase for now, and then we will earn a little more money on top of that! Or better yet¡ uh huh, you still need to register as a Hunter¡¡»
¡¸Hey, hey, hey ¡ª¡¹
Hey, how badly do you want it! I mean, registering as a Hunter ¡
¡°Hey there young man¡ won¡¯t you buy it?¡±
¡º¡±Huh?!¡±¡»
At that moment, we turned around with our backs to the spice corner and saw a man standing in front of us.
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you going to buy it?¡±
A handsome young man wearing an apron.
Then, he looked down at me with a nk expression and doll-like eyes that showed no emotion.
Even so¡ this guy¡
¡°Ah, erm¡ are you¡ the clerk here?¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh¡¡ you don¡¯t know me?¡±
No, no I don¡¯t. What is it? This guy¡
¡°But you¡¯re going to buy this, aren¡¯t you? This spice¡ you need it, don¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Ah, no, I just picked it up¡¡±
¡°No. You need it, right? So why don¡¯t you buy it? I don¡¯t get it. Why won¡¯t you buy it?¡±
And then, he suddenly closed the distance and asked me. No, no, scary close. What the hell?
¡°No, I just, I don¡¯t have enough money~ I think.¡±
¡°Money? What about the money? If you¡¯re short, why don¡¯t you negotiate.¡±
¡°Ha, hah?¡±
¡°Why give up before you do anything¡ I don¡¯t get it¡ why is that?¡±
¡¡ I don¡¯t understand. I mean, what is this guy really about?
¡ºHe is an odd fellow¡¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to think so too.
He suddenly appeared, crowded on me, and said things that I didn¡¯t understand¡ when Shinobu first fell in love with me, she suddenly closed the distance and talked to me about various things like this, but well, that was because she fell in love with me, and besides, I looked past that because she was beautiful, but¡ when an older man does it¡ honestly, it¡¯s unsettling.
And then¡¡
¡°Hey, shopkeeper! Give me some advice on ying monsters next time!¡±
¡°Oh, there¡¯s the shopkeeper! Hey, shopkeeper ~, it¡¯s about time you join our party as a helper!¡±
¡°Kyaaaaa, it¡¯s the shopkeeper
The moment the people around me noticed the presence of this man standing behind me, the whole restaurant started to make amotion.
The women were going kyaa-kyaaa. No, that¡¯s right~, he¡¯s handsome, but¡
But the guy was cool ¡¡
¡°How noisy¡ I¡¯m talking to this young man right now, aren¡¯t I?¡±
Brushed aside. But, even with such a cold attitude, the smiles of those around him never cease.
What is it¡? Besides¡¡
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºHmm¡¡»
¡¸This guy is weird, I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s crazy, but¡ just¡¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar was also looking at this man with sharp eyes.
From the way he talked, he seemed to be the manager of this store.
He was probably about the same age as Sadiz and the Prince.
But¡¡
¡ºTsuea¡ this man¡¡»
¡¸Hmm¡ who is he? He doesn¡¯t look like just a young manager of an equipment shop, but¡¡¹
Even though he¡¯s just standing there, I can tell. He¡¯s pretty strong, isn¡¯t he?
At the very least, I can see that this shopkeeper was much stronger than any of the Adventurers or Hunters in this store.
¡°Geez, ¡®yer Shopkeeper¡¯ is ~, as cold as ever~ na~¡±
¡°But he¡¯s cool and strong, so I love his attitude¡¡±
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar reacted to theughter and words spoken by the people around us.
¡º¡¡ yer? The name¡ certainly¡¡»
At any rate, it seemed that he was far from an ordinary man ¡

Chapter 257: Choice
Chapter 257 ¨C Choice
¡°Well, young man. You were about to choose some spices. You are going to cook with them, aren¡¯t you? I know.¡±
¡°Ha, hah¡¡±
¡°If you didn¡¯t have to worry about money¡ what would you choose?¡±
The shopkeeper who suddenly appeared, did not seem to be an ordinary person, and seemed to be quite famous.
As if to test me, he pushed forward his expressionless face and asked me a question.
I don¡¯t know what he means, and to be honest, I don¡¯t want to get involved¡
¡°Spices are a great source of energy in the Hunter business¡ at least more than potions. That¡¯s what I think. But in today¡¯s world, no one knows that, and no one tries to understand.¡±
¡°Huh¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s how it is with this knife, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
Saying that, the shopkeeper took something out of his pants pocket.
It was a well-used and slightly old Magical Survival Knife.
¡ºThis one ¡ is a user¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded admiringly.
Yes, the man in front of me was using a Magical Survival Knife, which many Hunters did not want to buy despite its very cheap price, saying that it had a bad image.
In addition¡¡
¡°Even this one is nutritious, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Then, he took out a bag of Calorie Friend from the opposite pocket, peeled it off, and bit straight into it.
¡°Oh, ooh¡¡±
I see. Is this what you mean?
A very useful knife and portable food if you buy them. This guy knows that, so he sells them asmodities.
But, knowing that they were once used by soldiers of the Demon King Army, Hunters don¡¯t buy them because they are worried about their image.
In such a situation, did he be interested in me because I tried to buy them without worrying about such things?
But I wouldn¡¯t have been interested if Tre¡¯ainar hadn¡¯t told me¡
¡°I admit it. You are a man who knows me, even though you don¡¯t know me. That¡¯s why I want to know. Which spice would you choose? What would you buy? I want to know. I want to know. I want to know more about you.¡±
I wonder if he¡¯s happy that I¡¯m buying, he¡¯s so excited that he¡¯s closing the distance even more¡ no, no, scary scary close.
I mean, who is this guy? Tre¡¯ainar?
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡»
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar. You, I get the feeling you know this guy?¡¹
¡ºWell¡ I am only familiar with the name¡ huh¡ that was over ten years ago, when I was alive.¡»
Ten years ago. Well, that¡¯s right¡ when you said, wait a minute. How old is this guy?
He¡¯s not that old, is he? Definitely not thirty or anything.
Late 20s? No, early 20s? Even if you say he¡¯s a teenager, I¡¯d believe it, but¡
¡ºIn the past, there once was a young boy, not even ten years of age, who made a name for himself as a Hunter dedicated to Monster ying and Bounty Hunting¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ Hunter¡¡¹
¡ºApparently the Union was scouting the boy to join their side, but the boy never wanted to join the Union, insisting on being a Hunter ¡ despite all that, he imed the heads of several Commanders of the Demon King Army¡ even Gouda grumbled.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar crossed his arms as if remembering the old days and stared at the shopkeeper.
Judging by the flow of the story, then this guy is¡
¡ºThereafter¡ I received a report that the boy challenged Norja to a fight, but was taken alive without issue¡¡»
¡¸Huh? Norja, of the Six Supremacy?¡¹
¡ºUh huh. However, shortly after that¡ Espie, of the Seven Heroes, attacked Norja, and he eventually escaped his captors¡ after that, I know nothing more on the matter. At that time, Hakuki was also engaged in a battle with Hiro and his party, and the war situation reports took precedence over that¡¡»
I see¡¡ he seemed to have aplicated past, but anyway, this guy was a great Hunter who even Tre¡¯ainar had heard of.
And such a man was now ¡
¡°Well, what¡¯s wrong? If you don¡¯t even know me, and yet you choose things that you ¡®know¡¯, what would you choose if you could have this wide variety of spices?¡±
He¡¯s interested in me.
From the looks of the people around us, he must have been more famous as a Hunter than as a shopkeeper.
I don¡¯t consider myself that famous. And yet, the tools he chooses and acquires are things that make him say ¡°Oooh!¡±.
That¡¯s why he¡¯s interested in me and was talking to me¡ is that what you mean?
But¡¡
¡°Still¡ I don¡¯t have the money.¡±
Right. I don¡¯t have the money to choose.
But, the shopkeeper¡¯s eyebrows twitched in disapproval at my words.
¡°Annoying. Can you please not disappoint me with such trivial reasons likeck of money?¡±
¡°No, even if you say that¡¡±
¡°Hah¡ fine¡¡±
When I mentioned the money, the shopkeeper sighed¡
¡°Then, I¡¯ll give you free spice ¡¡ if your spice selection makes me gasp.¡±
¡°Eh?!¡±
¡°Actually, I would like to give you the other products for free as well, but¡ that¡¯s enough for you who said you don¡¯t know me, right?¡±
The guy has a nk expression on his face and he¡¯s really worried about not knowing him?
No, no, it¡¯s more like a freebie with a choice that makes him gasp?
¡°This is a challenge from me. What do you think?¡±
He¡¯s testing me. At the shopkeeper¡¯s words, Tre¡¯ainar¡
¡ºVery well.¡»
I nodded silently. And he was very motivated. And¡¡
¡ºCoriander, cumin, turmeric, garam mas! Other odds and ends¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°Hey,e on¡ ah~, Koriander, Kumin, Tummeric¡¡±
¡°Mmhmm, yes and then what?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar, with one hand on his hip, thrusts his fingers forward, pointing in session to the hundred or more bottles of spices on disy.
I repeated the names as if to learn from them, and the shopkeeper nodded while crossing his arms.
¡°¡ªand clobe, Karudamon, that¡¯s all!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
I mentioned more than ten different spices.
The shopkeeper nodded after hearing all of them. But, he is not convinced?
¡°¡¡ unfortunately¡ that¡¯s not enough, is it?¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
¡ºWhat!?¡»
It was no good¡¡? Tre¡¯ainar was also surprised.
What the hell?
¡°Thatbination makes it possible¡ a traditional cuisine of this continent¡ curry¡ I have tried it many times, but it wasn¡¯t satisfying.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh? Curry?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s also the strongest health food in the world in my opinion, and the strongest outdoor meal for Hunters and Adventurers¡ curry. I guess you wanted to make it too, but¡ not with thatbination¡¡±
I wondered what the reason was, but I hadn¡¯t expected it to be curry¡ curry, which Tre¡¯ainar mentioned earlier, was a dish that was native to this continent.
¡°I¡¯ve had quite a bit of curry myself. I was hoping that you would be able¡ to make me gasp¡¡±
When I thought that this guy was taking an interest in people on his own, he sighed as if he was disappointed on his own.
I don¡¯t know much about Curry, but that just in pisses me off!
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar! I don¡¯t get it, but you¡¯re being dissed!?¡¹
¡ºHmph¡ is that how it is¡ I see¡¡. this¡¡ greenhorn!¡»
In any case, when I muttered in my heart that Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s choice was being mocked, Tre¡¯ainar had a terrifying scary smile filled with the majesty of the Demon King.
¡ºChild, coffee.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Huh?¡¹
¡ºI always add it in as a secret ingredient¡ I brewed Demon Realm coffee¡ well, adding coffee itself is a clich¨¦d ssic thing to do¡ but I was particr about the breed of coffee I used. The coffee I preferred to use in my curry was a coffee from the Demon Realm¡ Hell¡¯s Coffee!¡»
That¡¯s some kind of a dangerous secret ingredient, or rather, I feel like the name was too assertive¡
¡°Ah~, do you have Hell¡¯s Coffee from the Demon Realm?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar was full of confidence, so when I asked anyway, and the shopkeeper seemed to be surprised.
¡°¡¡ no¡.. we don¡¯t carry that¡¡±
¡ºTch¡ then, from the Surface¡ yes, the coffee from the Empire will do¡ tis not like a purveyance for royalty, tis manufactured in a small rural countryside, but tis the best match.¡¯
¡°Ah~¡¡ then, what about the Imperial product for the time being?¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that¡¯s also¡¡no.¡±
Oh, I see you don¡¯t have any.
Then the shopkeeper put his hand on his chin¡
¡°Oh¡ I see¡ I didn¡¯t care for the coffee itself either¡ I guess it¡¯s from the Empire¡¡±
¡°?¡±
The shopkeeper let out another deep sigh¡ was it no good?
But¡¡
¡°Understood. I¡¯ll order some for you.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°When you check out your wares, please give me the manufacturer¡¯s details.¡±
¡°No, no, no, no?!¡±
¡°It¡¯s my fault that I didn¡¯t have the product you wanted. I¡¯ll give you the spices for free.¡±
The shopkeeper¡¯s eyes suddenly changed color. Was that good?
Or rather, you want to order it? How motivated are you?
What¡¯s more, the spices are free? Was it good in the end?
¡°It¡¯ll take a few days, but¡ you¡¯ll still be in town, right?¡±
¡°N, more or less¡ I am, but¡¡±
¡°Okay, then?¡±
For the time being, we still have a few days until the package from Paripi arrives, so it¡¯s okay, but¡ I¡¯ve caught the eye of some weird guy.
Author¡¯s Note
That¡¯s why I said food stuff won¡¯t really start. When it starts, I¡¯ll shave.
Chapter 258: Perception
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!!
Chapter 258 ¨C Perception
It was dark now, and the town had quieted down to the point where not a sound could be heard.
The fishermen, perhaps because they have to work the next day, did not drink to excess, so the time seemed right.
In the forest by the sea. While looking at the vast, endless, calm sea, I focused my attention on posing.
¡°Magical Happy Baby¡¡±
¡ºHmm, your posture is more stable than before.¡»
The Magical Yoga training I learned at Cacretale.
It¡¯s abination of breathing, posture, and meditation to control the flow of Qi in the body.
¡®What do you think?¡¯
¡ºRight. After a few days of deadlybat, your breathing is smoother than ever¡ your senses are obviously sharpened.¡»
The training was originally conducted to master the sensation for Magical Breathing.
Now, after many deadly battles with Mr. Machio, Tre¡¯ainar, the Dragon King of Hades Vasr, and Paripi, I can now breathe in magic with the same sensation as normal breathing, and I found that my senses were sharper than before.
¡ºHmm. Originally, Magic Breathing itself was a technique with an extremely high degree of difficulty. Even Jamdi¡¯el could not master it. Be confident in the sensations you have now acquired.¡»
I could not help but gasp.
¡ºYour heart rate is rising, is it not?¡»
¡°Oh, m, my bad.¡±
¡ºThe power you are about to attain requires even sharper senses. Anypse in concentration could prove fatal, could it not?¡»
¡°Osu.¡±
A seal of approval from Tre¡¯ainar.
And I am about to learn something that will take me even further from here.
It was impossible not to get excited, but I tried to calm down.
¡°If I remember correctly¡ the theme is magic, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡ºMm-hmm.¡»
A few days ago, we talked a bit on the ship.
At that time, I thought he would teach me Giga-ss or Terra-ss spells, but he quickly dismissed that idea.
So¡
¡ºThe field is magic, but this has nothing to do with casting or attributes. Tis a ¡®Perception Magic Technique¡¯ that utilizes magic power.¡»
¡°Perception¡?¡±
¡ºYes. What you will learn from now on¡ is the ability to perceive all things¡ by changing the shape of your own magical power, extending it to the surroundings, and releasing it¡ the power that allows you to grasp any situation around you.¡»
Oh, that¡¯s a really big theme.
And it¡¯s not just the theme that¡¯s amazing.
¡ºEven if, for example, you were to enter a dark dungeon with no light, with this power, you can grasp the height of the ceiling, the distance between the walls, the depth, how the paths are divided, whether there are creatures, monsters, and such, their size, their number, what exists on that floor, and whether there are traps. Train this further, and you can instantly grasp whether the dungeon continues underground, how many floors down it continues, and so on.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºFurthermore, when applied tobat, you can even determine where enemies are in hiding and what weapons they have.¡»
As I listened to the general outline, I gradually began to understand how much it meant.
By acquiring that much power¡ especially for a fighting style like mine¡
¡ºYes, in your training from now on, you will acquire the ability to sense and grasp even the ¡®unseen¡¯ around you.¡»
The key part of my fighting style is my eyesight.
My way of fighting is to predict my opponent¡¯s movements based on their line of sight, their weapons, the direction of their feet, and the slight creak of their muscles.
Then, I react to evade or counter.
I fight in response to what I can see, so to speak.
In other words, I can¡¯t react to what I ¡°cannot see¡±.
¡°You know what? If I had acquired this sense¡ wouldn¡¯t there have been times when my past battles would have been easier?¡¯
Exactly. The first time I fought Shinobu in the forest, I was swept away by her attacks, unable to do anything as she hid in in sight and attacked from blind spots such as obstacles in the forest.
¡ºWhether or not you develop this perception can make a significant difference in the scope of a battle.¡»
At that time, I overcame the problem by using force to blow everything up with the Great Magic Spiral, but if I had the power of perception at that time, I would have been able to figure out where Shinobu was hiding and what kind of attack she was going to make from there.
¡ºThe ¡®Perception Magic Technique¡¯ that allows one to grasp everything in this world through the senses¡ this is called¡ ¡¾Magical Radar¡¿!!¡»
And here ites! It¡¯s been a long time since we had a smug Tre¡¯ainar naming sense!
But, now I think it¡¯s just a bitme.
I knew the value of this new skill I was about to learn.
¡ºWell, there is a limit to the distance and range that can be detected by your magic power capacity, so¡ it is impossible to sense a dungeon that is too deep, or treasures that lie dormant in the deep sea, let alone the people of Cacretale or the Empire from here.¡»
¡°I see. But I¡¯d still like to learn it by all means.¡±
¡ºThen, let us try to further sharpen your senses through meditation, yoga, and other means of concentration.¡»
¡°Osu!¡±
¡ºAnd this time, there is no deadline like the Imperial Capital Graduation Match or the Cacretale Tournament. Therefore, there is no need to take drastic measures such as prying open magic holes or draining water, we will do things steadily and diligently.¡»
Of course, this time it is not about winning a tournament that is months away or anything like that.
So, let¡¯s train slowly and steadily.
¡°Steadily¡e to think of it, ording to Paripi¡¯s contact, tomorrow is the day. The you-know-what will arrive. But¡¡±
¡ºWell, we need not head to the ruins right away, Right now, your guidance is paramount.¡»
¡°I see. Thank you.¡±
¡ºHmph, you still have a great deal that you must learn. Outside ofbat¡ yes, how to start a fire, how to prepare meat, how to cut vegetables, how to mix spices, how to mend torn clothing¡. there is so much to teach you, my goodness!¡»
¡°Ugh¡ it¡¯s an honor. I¡¯ll be in your care~, Master.¡±
¡ºHmm¡ you only say that when tis convenient¡¡»
¡°Ah, as part of the training to sharpen my concentration¡ how about ying Go?¡±
¡ºHmm! Of course tis effective! All right, let us y a game, one game!! Now, on to the dreamworld of Vier. One game! You may ce as many pieces as you wish~?¡»
¡°Kuhahaha¡ wai¡¡ eh t.¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm? Oi, child! Cur, just now¡ you thought I was in a good mood, that I¡¯m simple-minded or naive! Tis no use holding back your flustered mouth!¡»
¡°Eh!? M, my thoughts?¡±
¡ºI can tell what you are thinking! Hnrg, then tonight, after I decisively deal with you in Go, we will spar for the first time in a long time!¡»
¡°No, I, I don¡¯t want to stay up all night¡¡±
¡ºYour spoiled behavior will not be tolerated! First of all, you have been neglecting metely¡ it seems you arecking respect for me! I will have to re-educate you!¡»
I don¡¯t n on encountering the Six Supremacy or the Seven Heroes, I¡¯m actively trying to avoid them.
So let¡¯s train with Tre¡¯ainar for a while, y together from time to time, and slowly traverse the world.
Right¡¡
That¡¯s what I thought¡
Until today¡
Chapter 259: Encounter
Chapter 259 ¨C Encounter
The main harbor, where fishermen¡¯s boats fill the sea and shipse and go frequently.
A short distance away, on the shore of the forest facing the sea where I was standing, a small boat came toward us.
¡°That¡¯s the one.¡±
¡ºHmm.¡»
¡°Since it¡¯s a smuggler¡¯s boat, I figured they were moving it on arger vessel¡¡±
¡ºThat may have been the case until halfway through. Usually, however,rge ships are allowed to dock in ports and their cargo is inspected when being unloaded. In order to hide and secretly transport illegal goods, they must have transshipped their cargo to a smaller ship at sea on the way.¡»
¡°Eh, they do that?¡±
¡ºHmm. Tis referred to as ¡®offshore transfer¡¯. Tis an orthodox method of smuggling illegal drugs and arms that has been used since ancient times.¡»
¡°Heh~¡¡¡±
There were a few people on the boat who were staring at us. Their entire bodies were draped in cloak-like robes and their faces were obscured by deep hoods.
There were tworge wooden crates as the ship¡¯s cargo.
¡°¡¡¡ mumbling mumbling¡¡±
Then, one of the robed figures on the boat holds something in his palm and points it at us.
It¡¯s a magic crystal. He muttered to it, and then from the magic crystal¡
[Hihahaha, go ahead~?]
I heard that extremely unpleasant voice.
Then, the person holding the magic crystal grabbed the cloth bag at his feet and threw it at me.
¡ºHmph, apparently Paripi has verified your identity. That is the package. Secure it.¡»
¡°Eh, uh, sure.¡±
I caught the bag that was thrown at me. Then the one who threw it just walked away, and without saying a word to me, they just turned the boat around and sailed away.
¡°Hey, they¡¯re gone, aren¡¯t they?¡±
¡ºThey are just couriers. Merely hired for money. They do not wish to get involved, so instead of revealing their identities, they know nothing about the cargo, and they do not want to hear anything about the people they are delivering to.¡»
¡°Heh, heh¡ I can see that ¡ I mean, even though they¡¯re all ouws, they follow the rules of the ouws¡¡±
Somehow, the guys who do bad things think about a lot of things. If you¡¯re going to use your brain to think about things like that, you should just get a serious job¡ there¡¯s no way I would say that.
Because, in a way, I¡¯m stepping onto the ¡°other side¡± from today.
And¡¡
¡°Oh, here it is ~¡¡¡±
I put my hand into the cloth bag I had received and felt a square inside.
When I took it out, it was a box wrapped with a ribbon.
When I unwrapped the ribbon and looked inside¡
¡°Uh¡ inside¡ first, a piece of paper¡¡±
¡ºHmm¡ stamped¡ undoubtedly issued ording to official procedure¡ the identity card of a ¡®fictitious person¡¯.¡»
¡°Th, this is¡ no¡ I don¡¯t want to use it~¡¡¡±
¡ºTo utter such clemency. Without it, you would be unable to earn funds for the trip. And anything else¡¡»
¡°Oh¡ one more item¡ some kind of small ¡®card¡¯¡¡±
Inside the box, in addition to the fake ID, was a small palm-sized card.
The feel and sticity of the card was unlike anything I¡¯d ever seen before, and the surface of the card was engraved with a pattern I¡¯d never seen before.
¡°What the heck is this? What is written on it¡?¡±
¡º¡¡ Master Key¡¡¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºHmph¡ I never believed he actually had it¡ where the hell did he get it¡¡»
The word ¡°Master Key¡± slipped out of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth. So, is this the key? You mean this card is the key?
Looking at Tre¡¯ainar, who has a slightly excited smile on his lips, there seems to be no doubt.
In other words, this is what Tre¡¯ainar has been after all his life.
¡°¡¡ what do we do? After all¡¡±
¡ºNo¡ tis fine.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar suggested that we go slowly for my training, but seeing this Master Key, I thought he¡¯d want to go as soon as possible, I was going to ask him just to be sure, but Tre¡¯ainar shook his head.
¡ºIt matters not if we take a little more time. In fact, it would be more of a burden if we were to rush, encounter troublesome people, and stray from our goal. Let us proceed slowly.¡»
¡°Oh¡ if you say so, that¡¯s fine.¡±
For the time being, I properly stored the stuff I got from Paripi, and now my growthes first, so I nodded.
[Heyyo~, Boss, did you get my present~?]
And then, without reading the mood again, that bastard¡ no, I¡¯ve received the goods as agreed, so I guess there¡¯s nothing wrong in the sense of confirming that, but ¡
¡°Yeah, I got it.¡±
[Hihahaha, good to hear~. Ah~Oh, I also wanted to see the rejoicing face of ¡®someone¡¯ upon seeing this gift with my own eyes~]
¡°¡¡ bastard¡¡±
He wanted to see the look of joy on Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s face. Tre¡¯ainar also looked a bit irritated and sullen.
¡°Well¡ I¡¯ll use it as long as I have it¡ where did you get this?¡±
I interrupted him for the time being, so that he wouldn¡¯t take over the conversation.
The question was the one that Tre¡¯ainar had been muttering about.
And then¡¡
[Onya~? Are you curious, or did ¡®someone¡¯ tell you to ask~? You wouldn¡¯t care about that, would you~?]
¡°Nuh, mu¡¡±
[Well, but there¡¯s no big reason, right? It¡¯s really just picked it up¡¡ by ident.]
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
[I picked it up. No, seriously. Really no lie 100%. I just happened to pick it up after it was dropped.]
No, no, you just happened to pick up a card that looks like it¡¯s made of that special stuff¡ something Tre¡¯ainar has wanted all his life? How can such a joke be¡
¡ºThis man¡ does not seem to be lying¡¡»
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡ºWell, certainly there were other circumstances, but I suppose tis true that he ¡®picked it up by ident¡¯¡ I cannot even imagine the circumstances under which he acquired it.¡»
Surprisingly, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to believe Paripi¡¯s words. Well, if Tre¡¯ainar, who has been watching Paripi for many years, says so, is it true?
[Hihahaha, well, I went through a lot of trouble for the sake of a good time. There are some pretty interesting things in the deepest part of these ruins. However¡]
¡°Hmm? However? What is it?¡±
[Even in the deepest part, there are several branching paths¡ and some of them are too old, or maybe some idiots made them artificially¡ anyway, there are paths that are catastrophically destroyed and impassable¡ there are paths that even I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with them, so be aware of that.]
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
[I thought about paving the road to get through, but it would be quite arge task, and although I¡¯m good at breaking things, I¡¯m not so good at fixing them, and I didn¡¯t want to blow up the rubble and copse the whole ruin, so I left it alone.]
Saying that, he added the possibility that there was something lying dormant that even Paripi didn¡¯t know about yet.
[Hihaha, well, if you find a way to get through with the wisdom of someone, please let me know sometime. Well then, I¡¯ll leave you to it then, Boss! Have fun~?]
And with thosest words, themunication from Paripi was cut off.
In the forest which had be quiet again, Tre¡¯ainar spoke after a moment of silence¡
¡ºHmph, I see¡ there are routes where even Paripi yielded and turned on his heel¡¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡ºTruth be told, child. I was very curious about whaty in the deepest part of the ruins, but¡ if Paripi and others had already reached there and solved the mystery¡ I was a little skeptical. Because it means that I have fallen behind Paripi. But¡¡»
Oh, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s grinning again.
More than ever, he seemed to be excited about the adventures ahead.
¡°So you mean we¡¯re the first?¡±
¡ºMm-hmm. Except for those from the distant past¡ I imagine so.¡»
If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m excited too. And most of all, the radar I¡¯m about to master is a magic that will help me with those ruins and dungeon conquests.
¡ºAll right, child. After dinner, tis time to train!¡»
¡°Osu!¡±
Even though I¡¯m not in a hurry, I kind of wanted to leave as soon as possible.
For that, I have to master ¡°Magical Radar¡± properly¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Oh, there you are.¡±
¡º¡±Eh!?¡± ¡»
¡°You were in a ce like this. I¡¯ve been looking for you. Young man?¡±
We were deep in the forest outside the city, and a man came up to us¡ and in his hands¡
¡°You are¡¡±
¡°We got lucky. A peddler came into town and had the coffee¡ see!¡±
Saying that, the man held out the bottle of coffee in his hand to me¡
¡°Come, young man, let¡¯s make some curry.¡±
¡°Huh!? Eh, ah, no, no, eh!?¡±
And then, as if it was natural, he suggested that we make a curry¡ no no no no?!
The man is the manager of the equipment shop.
His name is yer.
¡ºThis man¡ what¡¡»
No way, he showed up all of a sudden, even brought the coffee I mentioned as an element of curry-making, and now he wants to make curry with me?
What in the world is going on?
And that¡¯s not all¡
¡°Oh~, I found you~¡±
¡º¡±Huh? What now?¡±¡»
¡°The worst kind of brother, one who makes his little sister cry ?.¡±
While neither I nor Tre¡¯ainar could fullyprehend what was happening, a third party¡¯s voice was heard.
When I turned around, I saw a young woman who I had never seen before floating over the sea.
Who the heck? No, seriously, who?
¡°Hmm? Oh? Oh-oh? Somehow¡ is there a man who cannot read the air getting in my way?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ this is also¡¡ bad timing¡ to interrupt me¡ such an annoying woman.¡±
And that woman looked at me for a moment and smiled, and then immediately looked at yer, who was standing next to me, and said some sharp words, and yer also said some grumpy words to the mysterious woman with a nk expression on his face¡
¡ºAh¡¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar was also somewhat surprised. What¡¯s going on?

Chapter 260: Shock
Chapter 260 ¨C Shock
Do people float? And the strange thing is that it doesn¡¯t feel like magic.
By learning Magical Breathing, I had be sensitive to the magic in the atmosphere and the magic used by opponents, but at this time I didn¡¯t feel anything.
She was floating, like a winged person would float in the sky.
¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on? yer. Why are you here? What¡¯s your business?¡±
¡°Is there a problem?¡±
¡°Hmm. Oh, that¡¯s okay. I¡¯m not here for you.¡±
Looks like an acquaintance of yer¡¯s. In any case, no matter how you look at it, this woman is no ordinary person.
Come to think of it, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to know her too, but¡
¡°Hello, big brother who makes his little sister cry?.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Ufufuu, ufufuu, ufufuu~¡±
The woman suddenly looked at me and smiled.
No, no, brother? What the hell is this¡
¡°You¡ who are you?¡±
¡°Huh~¡¡ pisses me off ~¡¡ that you don¡¯t know me¡¡±
When I asked, she sighed and scowled. No, no, I don¡¯t know you.
Well, yer said something like that.
Why is it that in thest few days I keep meeting people who are so smug that they think everyone knows them¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Look, he doesn¡¯t know you. Why don¡¯t you go away, you who have a big title but are unknown to the current generation? Espie¡±
¡°How about you, carelessly running an equipment shop instead of hunting down bounties like Hakuki, who has been on the run for over ten years? yer.¡±
¡ºThat one¡ she looked different, but¡ that face ¡ one of the Seven Heroes, ¡®Espie¡¯!?¡»
The woman seemed to be on bad terms with yer¡ Hmm? Tre¡¯ainar? What was that just now?
¡°Uh, Es¡ pie¡¡ Eh? S, Seven Heroes¡!?¡±
¡°Ufufufufu, surprised surprised ?, but don¡¯t you remember?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Well, thest time I saw you¡ you were still going Uwaa-uwaa¡ and I didn¡¯t really get to hold you that much.¡±
¡°No, way¡ y, you¡¯re¡?¡±
¡°Ufufufu, how nostalgic~. When I was allowed to hold you, Sadiz said, ¡®Yes, it¡¯s been ten seconds. It¡¯s over. The time for you to hold Little man is over. Only Sadiz may hold him for a long time.¡¯. and you were immediately taken away ?.¡±
It doesn¡¯t seem to be a lie¡ this woman¡ she knows me.
It¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar said, so is it really true?
The real¡¡
¡°Espie of the Seven Heroes¡ what do you mean? What do you want with me?¡±
And if this woman is really one of the Seven Heroes, then I can¡¯t just stand around in a daze.
I braced myself hastily.
¡°Oh?¡±
¡°You said you found me¡ were you looking for me? Did my father send you? What are you going to do?¡±
Well, if this woman was an old friend of my parents, let alone looking for me, I can imagine that she came to bring me back.
However, contrary to my expectations, Espie sighed with a wry smile ¡
¡°No~. it has nothing to do with Hiro or Mamu. I¡¯vee to give you a scolding and a beating.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°The worst man who makes his sister cry.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Make my sister cry? What? What?
When she says ¡°sister¡±, the first thing that came to mind was¡ Amae¡¡
¡°I don¡¯t really care, but I was here first. Can¡¯t you wait untilter? Espie¡±
Then, between the bewildered me and the smiling Espie, a sullen yer came in, again for some reason I don¡¯t understand.
¡°Oh, sorry, but it¡¯sdies first, isn¡¯t it, yer! Do you want me to beat you up~?¡±
¡°Heh, you? Me? You want to try that? Even though you¡¯re a selfish and bitter woman.¡±
¡°Huh? Selfish? You are just the same, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I lose to you in that.¡±
I mean, what¡¯s the rtionship between these guys?
A touch-and-go situation?
Somehow, the air has changed and it hurts.
Hmm? Speaking of which¡¡ Espie and this yer¡
¡ºHmm¡ all I know is that¡ yer, who was once a boy genius Hunter, was defeated and captured by Norja, but was saved by Espie¡¡»
Yes, I heard such a connection at the equipment shop.
But it looks like there¡¯s more to it¡
¡°Anyway, the young man and I are going to curry now. Would you mind getting out of the way?¡±
¡°¡¡ Curry? ¡¡ Curry!? I want to eat, I want some!¡±
Hmm? What? yer¡¯s words changed the situation again¡ Espie suddenly changed from a touch-and-go mood to one of excitement¡
¡°Ah, then I¡¯ll help you make Curry, so why don¡¯t I just beat you up afterwards?¡±
¡°Um, I guess that¡¯s okay, right?¡±
¡°Good, well, that¡¯s right¡um¡ I have something I want to give you.¡±
Nooot goood! Why are you doing this!?
Why is curry such a priority? What¡¯s more, are you going to beat me up after I make curry? I don¡¯t think so!
¡°Hey, wait a minute, you! If you¡¯d just shut up and listen to me, what the heck is going on! I mean, what is one of the Seven Heroes even doing here?! Is Amae the sister who I made cry?! If that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ve already settled it. We¡¯ve already made up and she even kissed me on the cheek!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t leave my little sister crying! Or what is it? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but I¡¯ve heard rumors that you¡¯re like a sister to my parents! Aren¡¯t you justplicating things for some reason? Aargh?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°To start with, the shopkeeper there also suddenly shows up, bbering on and on with a nk expression on his face about ¡¡ how much he loves curry!¡±
¡°¡¡¡ unh¡¡±
As it turned out, even though I was also a party, I was pushed beyond the limit of frustration at the two of them talking on their own and leaving me out of the loop, I couldn¡¯t help but scream.
Then they looked at each other¡
¡°Hmm~, he got mad because of yer.¡±
¡°You made him angry, you know?¡±
¡°You¡¯re both to me, damn it! You guys are so annoying!!¡±
They were shoving the me on each other, so I yelled at them again.
And then¡¡
¡°Hey, do you have a ¡®Master Key¡¯?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Oh, you do~, that¡¯s perfect then. With this¡ my wish will soone true¡ then, yeah¡ that¡¯s good¡¡±
Espie¡¯s sudden question shocked me.
Espie, who sensed my state without hearing the answer, grinned even more¡
¡ºThis one ¡ what?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also red at Espie with sharp eyes, unable to understand her true intentions.
Yeah, it¡¯s not like I understand it either.
Everything about this woman.
Then, Espie and yer nodded at each other¡
¡°Well, I guess I should apologize for now. I¡¯m sorry, did my ¡®boyfriend¡¯ bother you?¡±
¡°Apologies. My ¡®girlfriend¡¯ made you feel ufortable.¡±
¡¡¡¡? ¡¡ Huh!?
¡°Buboh!?¡±
¡ºWhat!?¡»
Somehow, the conversation just got even more amazing.
Author¡¯s Note
Today is May 1st. It feels like 2020 is flying by, but this period of self-discipline seems to have been going on for a long time, so I¡¯m going crazy in various ways. In fact, my main job, teleworking, has been extended until the end of May, andtely, I have stopped going out for no reason, and I have refrained from dancing naked. Anyway, please take care of yourself.
Chapter 261: Annoying
Chapter 261 ¨C Annoying
My head hurts because I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on.
The mysterious woman who suddenly appeared was Espie, one of the Seven Heroes who seemed to know me, and was a headache who tried to beat me up by forcing some kind of iprehensible cause on me.
On the other hand, there was a strange man who seemed to have an extraordinary obsession with Curry, bringing the secret ingredient coffee from our first meeting and even trying to cook it with me.
I thought such a woman and such a man would make for an explosive situation, but¡
¡°Are you two lovers!?¡±
¡ºHow¡ such a rtionship¡¡»
I instinctively made a retort, and Tre¡¯ainar sighed in astonishment.
Then, Espie and yer looked at me¡
¡°We¡¯re not married. We haven¡¯t had a wedding ceremony. That¡¯s why we have no children. You can only get married and have a wedding if you get permission from each other¡¯s families.¡±
¡°No, I haven¡¯t heard anything! I mean, I¡¯m not even interested! Well, until just a little while ago, it looked like you were going to fight, but your every word and action here is in sync!?¡±
I was certainly surprised to be told that they were lovers. But, it doesn¡¯t really matter.
On the other hand, the fact that they¡¯re so selfish and do their own thing regardless of other people¡¯s circumstances makes them a perfect match.
Well, I wonder if it¡¯s okay for two self-centered people to date each other, but I¡¯m not interested in that, and it¡¯s none of my business.
But, they both tantly sighed at my words.
¡°Ha~, did you hear that, yer? How could you say such a thing?¡±
¡°It¡¯s just awful, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m already twenty-three for what it¡¯s worth, you know? It¡¯s not umon for people to get married in their teens these days, so I wanted you to understand why I¡¯m not married yet, right? I know, silly, right?¡±
¡°Marriage shouldn¡¯t be based on mutual feelings alone, you know. Naturally, you can only step out in happiness when you have the blessings of your loved ones. How absurd of you not to understand that.¡±
It was as if he was calling me a child who didn¡¯t know anything about adult matters, and my irritation grew.
I don¡¯t care. I don¡¯t care if you get married or not!
¡ºChild, do not get caught up in their pace¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡ but¡¡¹
Then, Tre¡¯ainar whispered in my ear to calm me down.
¡ºTry as you might, these two¡ do not know any better. Perhaps it is best to wait and see for now¡¡»
¡¸Eh¡?¡¹
Unlike me, who was irritated, Tre¡¯ainar was calm. And he had a somewhat questioning expression on his face.
¡ºI do not even know the man named yer¡ this Espie is also¡ she was an enemy we once fought, now I do not really understand her. Well, tis unavoidable, as I knew her when she was around 7~8 years of age¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ she changed as an adult?¡¹
¡ºTis a possibility. Besides, this girl has always been intelligent, most of all, she was never the type to put her heart and soul into a righteous cause like Hiro and his ilk¡ but¡¡»
¡¸But¡?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar still can¡¯t seem to give an answer, and he doesn¡¯t even clearly say that Espy is ¡°the enemy¡± or that I should ¡°run away¡±.
Instead, he said to ¡°wait and see¡± and then¡
¡ºBut there is one thing I do know¡ Espie and yer¡ these two¡ Child, towards you¡ they do not appear to harbor any ill feelings, do they?¡»
¡¸No, no, Espie said she was going to beat me up!?¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm, hence my uncertainty. These two¡ what is their purpose¡ and how¡ does Espie know that the child is in possession of the Master Key¡¡»
¡¸Ah¡¡¹
Now that you mention it, that¡¯s right. The Master Key was given to me by Paripi in the first ce.
And it was only the other day that Paripi and I made contact.
He¡¯s my subordinate¡ he forced himself on me, so I got it as a kind of present.
So why does this woman know that I have the Master Key?
I¡¯m certainly curious.
¡°Come, let¡¯s get the Curry ready first.¡±
¡°Then, young man. Let¡¯s chop the vegetables together.¡±
¡°No, no, you guys wait a minute! Even if you suddenly say that!? I mean, I¡¯ve never cut vegetables before!¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Why do you look so dumbfounded! My bad!
¡ºChild¡¡»
¡¸Even you, Tre¡¯ainar! It can¡¯t be helped! Sadiz told me not to touch the knife because it¡¯s dangerous¡¡¹
¡º¡¡ pompous twat¡¡»
Because I was only about ten years old at the time?
It was Sadiz¡¯s birthday and I thought I¡¯d do my best to cook for her as a way to show my gratitude.
When I sneaked into the kitchen and tried to cook.
¨D¨DI will make a delicious meal for Sadiz¡¯s birthday¡ erm, the knife is¡
¨D¨DOh? Little man, why are you in the kitchen¡ Huh!? Little man, what are you doing? That¡¯s dangerous!
¨D¨DAh, Sadiz¡ I, I¡¯m, cooking for Sadiz¡
¨D¨DI appreciate the sentiment, but you¡¯re too young to use a knife, Little man. No, you don¡¯t have to cook. Cooking for Little man is my purpose in life, so please don¡¯t take away my purpose in life.
¨D¨DSadiz ¡
¨D¨D Little man¡¯s meals are always, and will always, be made by Sadiz ?.
¨D¨DNo, it¡¯s not for me, it¡¯s for Sadiz!? For your Birthday ¡¡ so¡¡
¨D¨D Still no good ?.
Sadiz wouldn¡¯t let me have a knife¡ So, Tre¡¯ainar! Don¡¯t give me that look!
¡°Huh~¡ Is that right¡ you¡¯re a big brother who was raised in an overprotective way¡ was it because of little Sadiz?¡±
¡°I see¡ you still can¡¯t cook¡ that¡¯s a bit of a problem¡¡±
And, this stupid couple too, as if to mock me¡ stay out of it!
¡°Well then¡ what are we going to do? If you can¡¯t make Curry¡ first¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯d love to have Curry, but¡ if you¡¯vee this far¡ well¡¡ okay. For now, this coffee is for you. With this, you can train yourself to make proper curry.¡±
Hmm¡?
¡ºChild¡¡»
Oh, and Tre¡¯ainar seemed to understand.
Suddenly, when they came here, the atmosphere between the two of them changed.
What? What are you trying to do?
¡°Hey¡ I have a favor to ask.¡±
¡°What is it¡¡±
¡°Me and yer¡ I want you to help us.¡±
No. You don¡¯t want to do something to me, you want to ask me a favor?
And help you?
¡°Hey, this is all too sudden, isn¡¯t it?¡±
And then I raised my voice, I was at my limit again.
¡°Ahahaha, as expected¡ is that so?¡±
¡°No! In the first ce, there¡¯s so much I don¡¯t get, from the moment you first appeared to this very moment! The only thing I know about you is that you are one of the seven heroes, you are the manager¡¯s girlfriend, and you are kind of a pain in the ass! And you¡¯re asking me to do you a favor? To help you out? I don¡¯t get it!¡±
¡°Hmm, you don¡¯t understand, hmm¡¡. hmm¡¡ well¡¡ how to exin it~¡¡ but, I can¡¯t tell you every single detail¡ just this¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that moment, Espie held something out to me with a somewhat sad expression on her face.
Something in a cloth bag that fits in the palm of your hand.
¡°I want you to take this¡ and go to the ruins of Shiznautmy. Together with me and yer.¡±
¡°Huh? I don¡¯t want to.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh? That¡¯s terrible~, I¡¯d like you to at least listen to me¡¡±
¡°Is that the attitude of someone who wants others to listen to them? For the most part, YOU are the one who selfishly doesn¡¯t even listen to me and wants to beat me up!¡±
¡°Huh~? Hmm~, even though you¡¯re a man, you¡¯re whining about minor details~. Really, you want me to beat you up?¡±
I don¡¯t know what they want me to do.
But, if the request was to take these two to the ruins, I firmly refused.
¡°Huh? Thest few days have been a parade of legendary residents¡ not to disrespect you, but do you think I¡¯ll be intimidated by the threat of just one of the Seven Heroes?¡±
¡°¡¡ I feel¡ somewhat¡annoyed¡±
If this woman was up to something, depending on the situation, she might try to force me to participate¡ Normally, I wouldn¡¯t want a serious battle with the Seven Heroes, but depending on the situation, I wouldn¡¯t hesitate.
With this in mind, I also changed the atmosphere that I exuded.
But¡¡
¡°Espie, stop it.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
yer stepped in between us and red at Espie.
Then Espie puffed out her cheeks like she was sulking, but she didn¡¯t do anything to me.
¡°Bu~, I know, but~, but~, he doesn¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on~¡±
¡°Your fault¡±
¡°Oh! yer¡¯s just pretending to be cute and innocent! Ah ~, so annoying. OK. Fine. Just ept this for now.¡±
Saying that, Espie threw me the cloth bag, which I epted reflexively.
Chapter 262: The Origin of Everything
Chapter 262 ¨C The Origin of Everything
A cloth bag that Espie passed to me. To be honest, I had a suspicious feeling about it, but I took out the contents to check it.
Then, what came out was something round that could fit in the palm of my hand¡
¡°A¡.. pocket watch? The clock¡¡ doesn¡¯t work¡ and inscribed with letters I¡¯ve never seen before? What is this¡¡±
It¡¯s a pocket watch¡ I think. The reason I just assumed that was because the letters engraved on the circle were something I had never seen before.
A normal watch would have numbers engraved on it.
Also, some pocket watches have a button or a screw to adjust the hands of the clock or measure the time.
This one has five of them. What¡¯s the use?
¡º¡¡ tis no mere watch¡¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar was standing next to me, staring at the watch with a serious look.
¡ºA magic item? No, I sense a more alien power¡ besides¡¡ the structure of the watch, the material¡ what the hell is this? Hmm? These markings¡¡»
Even Tre¡¯ainar couldn¡¯t seem to figure out what it is.
That¡¯s even creepier.
And what worries me the most is¡
¡°Why are you giving me this?¡±
Why would you give such a thing to me?
¡°Hold on to it¡ I want you to go to Shiznautmy with ¡®me¡¯ and ¡®yer¡¯. I know it¡¯s selfish of me. But that¡¯s what we want.¡±
¡°Young man, we wanted to meet you and travel to Shiznautmy with you¡ that¡¯s our wish. We don¡¯t know anything about it¡ please guide us.¡±
As usual, their purpose was unclear, and they kept saying selfish things.
Everything they do is abrupt, overly familiar, and offensive, and yet they need my help? Let them join me? I have no idea what you¡¯re talking about¡ I would have screamed earlier.
But¡¡
¡°Wha, what¡¯s going on?¡±
Then, for the first time, Espie gave me a heartbreakingly sad smile for the first time.
And yer, who was basically expressionless, smiled wistfully as well.
I don¡¯t get it anymore.
But I knew they wanted ¡°something¡± with all their hearts.
And¡¡
¡°Geez, what¡¯s the point¡¡ of all this? The watch doesn¡¯t even work¡ it¡¯s broken¡ eh!?¡±
Then, when I casually pressed the button on the top of the pocket watch, a change urred.
[Registered User Authentication, Confirmation Completed. ¡®Jump¡¯ Setting Has Been Activated]
¡°Huh!? Wh, at?¡±
¡ºChild! what, sort¡ the watch¡¡»
Suddenly, the watch emitted an intense light. And then, to my surprise, it spoke.
It was indescribably inorganic, but it definitely spoke.
¡°Wh-what? Th, this, doesn¡¯t make sense!¡±
¡°Yes. It¡¯s natural to be surprised. Here¡¯s your luggage. And your cloak.¡±
¡°Here, the coffee too.¡±
I was in a panic, not knowing what was going on, when Espie and yer, who seemed to understand the situation, suddenly handed me my luggage.
But more than that, this situation¡
¡°Damn, I don¡¯t get it! This watch, here, oya, hmm, this.¡±
¡°¡±Aaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±¡±
¡°Eh, wh, what¡¯s going on?¡±
Without understanding the meaning, I frantically tried to press all the buttons of the pocket watch and turn the screws.
Then, Espie and yer suddenly looked startled.
¡°Hey, what are you doing! You messed up the ¡®default settings¡¯!¡±
¡°¡¡ What¡¯s going to happen now?¡±
No, no, no, no!? Why are you guys panicking? What? No way, is this a bad situation?
Tre¡¯ainar?
¡ºThis luminescence ¡ mana? No, tis not¡ this energy is ¡ like that of the Ancients¡? I see, these makings!?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t seem to understand either. This is bad, isn¡¯t it?
¡°What shall we do, yer?¡±
¡°No¡ wait, if we make a move here, then¡ hmm? Rather, we start from here¡?¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡ I see¡ so at that time¡ oh~, that¡¯s right¡ that¡¯s why Iughed and said, ¡®There¡¯s no point in setting it up¡¯.¡±
¡°Hmm. So that¡¯s what you meant¡¡±
That time? But Espie and yer, who should have panicked, calmed down immediately and smiled wryly with an expression of ¡°understanding¡±?
No, no, what¡
[Adjustment Completed. All Coordinate Changes Implemented]
¡°Eehh!?¡±
Then, the watch shed so brightly that I could not even keep my eyes open, and at the same time, a huge emblem appeared, enveloping me.
¡ºThis is¡ simr to a transfer formation¡ even I do not know! Child, unhand that watch at once!¡»
¡°No, I can¡¯t let go of it! What the heck¡¡±
The pattern spread all over my body, and the hand holding the watch was deprived of freedom.
And then the feeling of being ¡°sucked in¡± by something hit me¡
¡°¡±Take care, and we¡¯ll definitely meet¡ª¡ª¡±¡±
¡°Oh, You Bastards!¡±
With those words, the only thing I could squeeze out, everything reflected in my field of vision went dark¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡¡ where am I?¡±
Before I knew it, thendscape reflected in my eyes had changed.
¡°It¡¯s a forest, but¡ where¡¯s the sea?¡±
When I thought that I was suddenly surrounded by light, the scenery was different from before.
I should have been in a forest by the sea, but where I am now was surrounded by forests.
¡ºIt cannot be¡ spatial transition?¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar!¡±
¡ºChild, is there anything wrong with your body?¡»
¡°Hmm? Ah, oh¡¡±
I didn¡¯t know why, but I was a little relieved that Tre¡¯ainar was by my side for the time being, and I checked my body as I was told. There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
¡°Nothing.¡±
¡ºI see¡¡»
¡°But still, what¡¯s going on? What the hell is this watch?¡±
I checked the watch clutched in my hand again. Now the light had faded, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
¡ºI do not know¡ I have never seen a magic item like this before.¡»
¡°Even you, Tre¡¯ainar?¡±
¡ºIndeed. But¡ I remembered the engravings on the watch. Tis ancient characters¡¡ Yes, such characters were in the ruins of Shiznautmy¡ they are numbers.¡»
¡°Eh!? Then this¡¡±
¡ºHmm. Without a doubt, tis most certainly one of the legacies of the Ancients¡ I never knew such a thing existed.¡»
¡°Wow¡¡±
Seriously¡ I didn¡¯t think it was something so outrageous.
Sure, Tre¡¯ainar would be surprised not to know about it.
¡°Seriously~¡¡ But where are we?¡±
¡ºThe item seems to have the ability to transport the subject to another location. However, if that is the case¡ I¡¯m curious about the words Espie said¡¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡ºShe mentioned something about a¡ Default Setting¡?¡»
¡°Oh~¡¡¡±
Oh no, that¡¯s what she said. What exactly does that mean¡
¡°For now, should I tinker with this watch again?¡±
¡ºWait. First, let us check the location. I am curious to know where you transported to.¡»
¡°Got it.¡±
For now, there seems to be no doubt that Tre¡¯ainar and I were sent somewhere by this item.
Still, where in the world are we?
For now, I decided to walk into the forest.
¡°Heave-Ho! I¡¯m d I bought a backpack.¡±
¡ºChild, put on the cloak and hood. It will protect you from insects and dirt.¡»
¡°Oh, I see¡ o, ooooh! I hadn¡¯t equipped it on my trip so far, but now that I have¡ oh!¡±
I bought the cloak to protect myself from the cold when I sleep, but when I put it on when I travel like this, I look kind of cool, like a traveler or a bit like a Hunter.
Come to think of it, back in the day, I used to y the hero by letting my cape p like this¡
¡ºOi¡ stop frolicking about, O Brave Hero.¡»
¡°ts, stop, don¡¯t read people¡¯s fantasies. Geez! Hmm? Oh, that?¡±
¡ºHmm? Ah¡¡ sunlight¡¡»
I was a bit lost in embarrassing memories of the past, but surprisingly, I was able to get out of the forest faster than expected.
¡°Oh, ooooh¡¡±
¡ºGrasnd¡ the fact that the sun is rising means ¡ is it so far away that there is a time difference from that fishing port where it was midnight?¡»
¡°Geez, is it that far away?¡±
Outside the forest, under the shining sun, there was a wide grassy in.
I could see mountains ahead of us and a small vige nearby.
¡°Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡ do you know where we are?¡±
¡ºHmm¡ that shape¡ on the other hand, it would be quicker to ask in that nearby vige, would it not?¡»
¡°Oh, that¡¯s also true¡ Hmm?¡±
¡ºNu?¡»
Just when I was about to ask the people in the nearby vige where this ce was, Tre¡¯ainar and I noticed something strange had happened in that vige.
¡°Kyaaaahhhh!?
¡°R-run awaaaaaaaay! It¡¯s a monsteeeeeeer!¡±
¡°Hiii, It¡¯s going to eat us!¡±
I heard screams.
Buildings crumble into pieces and rise into the air, and the sound of destruction is heard relentlessly.
And¡..
¡°GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!¡±
A beast covered in ck hair was rampaging through the vige.
¡°Whoa, what the hell is that thing!?¡±
¡ºTis¡ a wild grizzly! A monster that inhabits the grasnds of the Surface World¡ from what I gather, they were exterminated by Hunters a decade ago, and their numbers have dwindled¡ but they are not yet extinct¡¡»
¡°Huh? Seriously? I¡¯ve only seen it in picture books¡ but is that bad?¡±
¡ºTis a ferocious carnivore!¡»
No way, I was surprised by the appearance of a monster that had be quite rare, but this wasn¡¯t the time to be impressed.
It¡¯s going on a rampage, destroying the vige, and at this rate people will¡
Besides, there don¡¯t seem to be any Hunters or Warriors in the vige.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar, how strong is that thing?¡±
¡ºNot worthy of the current child.¡»
¡°Got it!¡±
I dashed toward the vige at that moment.
And then¡¡
¡°Go away, monster!¡±
¡°Garuru?¡±
Hey!? Oh,e on!?
¡°Th, that kid, what is he doing!¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm?¡»
A small child held a branch like a sword, trembling halfheartedly, threatening the monster.
Wait, wait, it¡¯s dangerous!
¡°This vige, I will protect it! I¡¯ll beat you up!¡±
¡°Garuru? Guru¡¡ GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!¡±
¡°Hiiiiii!?¡±
A brave child stood up to defend his home.
But, his opponent was an overwhelmingly powerful monster.
With a single roar, the child was silenced.
¡°Garrrrrr GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!¡±
The monster opened its huge jaws and was about to bite the child mercilessly.
But before it could ¡¡ I got there in time!
¡°Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh! ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Corkscrew Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Gaeehh !!??¡±
¡°¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
The shockwave of my fist was faster and stronger.
¡°Geez, you¡¯re such a brave kid!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Well, don¡¯t worry, everything¡¯s fine now.¡±
The monster was violently blown away by my fist. Its body was a bit solid, but nothingpared to Mr. Machio¡¯s muscles.
Well, Rebal had already killed a dragon, so I should be able to do this much.
And then¡¡
¡°What¡ that hooded man¡¡±
¡°With one blow to the Wild Bear¡¡±
¡°A¡ amazing!¡±
The vigers looked stunned at my appearance for a moment. But gradually, their expressions turned to tears, and then¡
¡°¡®UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!!
There was a loud cheer, as if to praise me.
Somehow, I didn¡¯t really intend it, but I felt like a bit of a hero, so I didn¡¯t feel too bad.
¡°A-Amazing¡ amazing, you¡¯re, amazing! Awesome!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Then, the kid who was sitting down looked up at me with a twinkle in his eye.
¡°Well, I didn¡¯t really understand what it was, I couldn¡¯t see it at all, but you beat that big monster with one shot¡ amazing! Awesome!¡±
¡°Oh, oh, yes.¡±
¡°Thanks for saving me! I, I, I!¡±
¡°Oh, calm down, calm down.¡±
As expected, he couldn¡¯t see my punch, but he understood that I was awesome, and to think that a kid could make his eyes shine so much¡ it was the same with Amae, but I don¡¯t feel bad.
¡ºOi, child¡¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡ºThis youngling¡ does he not resemble someone¡?¡»
¡°Huh~?¡±
At that time, I felt a little happy, and Tre¡¯ainar said something strange to me.
Resemble someone?
This¡¡ kid? That ¡®red hair¡¯¡¡¡¡¡ Hmm?
¡°Uwaaaaaaahh!!
And then it happened.
A little girl came running from the other side, crying.
¡°This idioooooooot!!
¡°Hoge!?¡±
¡°Idiot, dummy! What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing! You were going to die!¡±
¡°I¡¡±
¡°If this man didn¡¯t save you¡ uwaaaaahh!!!
A girl with orange hair in twintails, crying and hitting the boy¡ Hmm~?
¡°Ouch, don¡¯t cry anymore¡¡¯Mamu¡¯.¡±
¡°Shut up, idiot! ¡®Hiro¡¯, you dummy!¡±
¡¡ Hohoho. This red-haired boy¡¯s name is Hiro¡ and the orange-haired girl¡¯s name is Mamu¡ hohoho¡¡
¡¸¡¡ Hoho¡¹
¡ºHohoho¡¡»
¡¸No way~, that¡¯s a great coincidence~, Tre¡¯ainar. Kuhahahaha!¡¹

Chapter 263 ¨C Time Jump
¡¸Ah, abababa¡¡¹
¡ºI, inconceivable, t, th, this could, ch, child!¡»
¡¸I, ii, it must beee¡ oh¡¢¡¡ oh, is this a dream?¡¹
¡ºM, mm hmm, such a possibility¡ no, a dream? This?¡»
Oh, this is a dream, right? It has to be.
¡°Who are you, Mister? An Imperial Knight? Or maybe¡ the Hero!¡±
A little kid, he doesn¡¯t even reach my waist.
A child with the same name as my father, who bears a resemnce to my father.
¡°Thank you for saving Hiro. Hiro, you should be thanking him more! You¡¯re weak, stupid, and you caused trouble for everyone!¡±
A child with the same name as my mother, who has my mother¡¯s face.
It¡¯s all a dream.
If not, it is a coincidence.
It¡¯s all a coincidence¡ but¡
¡°Hiro! Mamu! What are you doing!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
At that moment, a woman ran up from among the vigers with a bloodthirsty look on her face.
A young, beautiful farmer was breathing heavily, her face pale, and her eyes looked as if they were about to overflow with tears¡ she looked a lot like my mother¡ eh!?
¡°Oh, granm¨D¨Deh!?¡±
Ah, grandma!?
¡ºGrandma¡?¡»
¡¸Uh huh¡ on my mother¡¯s side¡ I mean, my grandma¡ I haven¡¯t seen her in years¡¡¹
¡ºI-I see¡ this is Mamu¡¯s¡e to think of it, both Hiro and Mamu were born tomoners¡¡»
My grandma, who looked so young that she didn¡¯t look like an olddy at all¡ my grandma looked as young as the mothers of my ssmates if not younger¡ there were fewer wrinkles than the grandma I knew. Fewer¡ no, she doesn¡¯t have any wrinkles at all!?
That grandma hugged the boy and girl with trembling hands ¡ huh? This is real?
Wait a minute, what¡¯s going on¡
¡°Hiro¡ I¡¯m so d you¡¯re safe and sound¡ if something had happened to you¡ how would I face your parents¡ huh! Um¡¡ traveler!¡±
¡°Yes!? Eh, ah, yes!¡±
¡°Thank you for saving this child¡ for saving this vige.¡±
Oh no, it¡¯s real!?
This¡¡ is it bad? This is bad in many ways¡
¡°I must thank you, sir.¡±
¡°No, I just did what I had to do! Now, then!¡±
¡°Ah, sir, please wait!¡±
Not good, things might get awkward if I stay here any longer. Or rather, I need somewhere to calm down.
Anyway, I ran to get away from this ce as soon as possible.
¡°Wait, Mister! Tell us your name!¡±
¡°My name isn¡¯t worth remembering. Farewell!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
Father? The boy stopped me, but I didn¡¯t stop and just ran away¡
¡°Awesome¡ so cool¡ he¡¯s so strong, but doesn¡¯t show off at all¡ I¡¯ll do it! I¡¯ll be an ally of justice like him!¡±
¡°Huh? There¡¯s no way you can be like that, dummy Hiro!¡±
At the end, I heard cheers and words of gratitude from the vigers as they called out to me, but to be honest, I was far from in the mood.
¡°Haa, ha, ha¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Hm~m¡¡»
¡°Haa, ha, ha¡ we came this far¡¡±
Anyway, I went back to the forest where I appeared when I was first sent away.
Then, after confirming that there was no human presence around, I shouted out my umted feelings.
¡°Wha¡ what¡¯s going on, Tre¡¯ainar! Is this that? Is this a dream? Is this a fantasy world of ¡¾Vier¡¿?¡±
¡ºUh-huh¡¡ child¡¡ for now, the watch¡¡»
¡°Ah, oh, oh.¡±
First of all, there was no doubt that this whole situation started with this watch.
I took the watch out of my pocket and showed it to Tre¡¯ainar, but he also crossed his arms and made a difficult face.
He was always like, ¡°Who do you think I am? I am the omnipotent and omniscient Great Demon King.¡±.
In other words, this situation is so out of the ordinary.
¡ºThis is no dream¡ but tis no magic either. Were that the case, I would certainly be aware of it.¡»
¡°That¡¯s right¡¡±
¡ºUndoubtedly, tis the technology of the Ancients ¡ I do not know what the principle is¡ but tis a power that was said to be impossible even with magic¡ a ¡®Retrogress¡¯.¡»
¡°?¡±
The word ¡®Retrogress¡¯ came out of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth with great emphasis.
¡°Uh¡ what do you mean by that?¡±
¡ºI cannot exin the principle¡ but perhaps¡¡ ah~¡¡ to put it simply, you and I are currently in the world of the past.¡»
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡ºSo, the Hiro and Mamu back there are most likely the same people, as evidenced by their innate magical talents. Judging by the appearance of the two, this moment is probably¡ 20-odd years ago¡¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
If it wasn¡¯t a dream or a coincidence, I actually had a slight idea of this possibility myself.
Maybe I¡¯m in the world where my father and mother were children¡ and¡¡.
And now¡¡
¡ºTo sum up, that watch! Tis a time-leap device that enables travel back and forth between the past and the future!¡»
¡°Wh, what¡¯s that? What the hell is that!!??
My thoughts weren¡¯t wrong.
But that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t help but be amazed at such a ridiculous reality.
¡°Hohohoho, really? Time jump? No, no, but is it possible? They often say in stories, ¡®You can¡¯t change the past, but you can change the future.¡¯. ¡°
¡ºI am surprised as well. However, so long as this is neither a dream nor an illusion, I can only exin it as such.¡»
¡°This is¡¡±
There are things in this world that even Tre¡¯ainar can¡¯t exin the principle of¡ But a time jump? Can you go back and forth to the past? That¡¯s¡¡
¡°Hey, wait a minute! If you could use it, you¡¯d be invincible! You can change all your bad past events, right?¡±
¡ºNo, that may not be so¡¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
¡ºHmm¡ for instance, you saved Hiro this time, but what would have happened if you had abandoned him? If Hiro had died¡¡»
¡°¡¡ My father¡ wouldn¡¯t have beaten you¡¡±
¡ºIndeed, I would survive, and you would not have even existed¡ but in the world where you and I exist, I perished, Hiro triumphed, and you were born¡ this would create a contradiction¡ for now, let us call this phenomenon the ¡®Magical Time Paradox¡¯.¡»
Paradox¡¡ well, didn¡¯t you say it wasn¡¯t magic, so why add magical to it¡ but what happens now?
¡ºI do not know what the answer will be. Will your existence disappear¡ to begin with, will the world itself cease to exist¡ I have no idea.¡»
¡°So, what does that mean¡?¡±
¡ºIn other words, to so easily interfere with the past¡ and yet not¡. but if your leap through time is a real event in past history, then whatever you do from now on, would it not actually be¡ no¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar himself doesn¡¯t seem to have organized his thoughts.
He always exins things in an easy-to-understand way, but I¡¯ve never seen Tre¡¯ainar like this.
¡ºAt any rate. Ultimately, it is not wise to influence the future so easily. For instance, do not tell the Hiro and Mamu of this world who you are¡ or meet with me, as I still live in this era.¡»
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡ºOur first meeting urs in the sealing room¡ that is a fact.¡»
¡°I see¡¡±
Oh I see¡ in the past¡ Tre¡¯ainar is alive¡ I feel like I want to have a look at him.
¡ºOi, do not have any foolish thoughts.¡»
¡°No, but¡ hey, why can¡¯t I meet a still living Tre¡¯ainar~¡±
¡ºDurd! Utterly reckless, as if you meet so casually! Even if you doe across each other, you would be killed without saying a word!¡»
¡°Huh? Is that so¡ huh?¡±
¡ºWho do you think you are dealing with? That is the Great Demon King!¡»
¡¸¡¡ Yeah. I know that. That¡¯s why I thought I could trust you¡¡±
¡ºOh¡ah¡um¡ hmm? ¡¡¡¡ so do not even think about distorting history!¡»
¡°W, wow, wow! Huh? Are you a little embarrassed?¡±
¡ºI am not embarrassed!¡»
Anyway, it¡¯s an unbelievable reality, but after talking with Tre¡¯ainar, I¡¯ve calmed down a little bit.
Well, my hands were still shaking a bit.
¡°But still, I don¡¯t know why Espie and yer gave me this, but it means I should go back to my original time, right?¡±
¡ºI suppose so¡ tis interesting in various ways, but¡ ¡®being unable to return¡¯¡ that scares me the most.¡»
¡°Ah, I sure wouldn¡¯t like that!¡±
What if I can¡¯t go back to the original world¡ my original time? Just imagining it scares me.
In this era, I¡¯m older than my father and mother.
Ah, but¡ I feel like I want to see a little Sadiz¡ ah, not good, I want to see that so badly¡ but in this day and age, I wonder if she has even been born yet¡
¡ºEven if you go to see that, you must figure out how to return home first.¡»
¡°Oh, yes¡ but¡¡ how do I get home?¡±
¡ºI suppose you need the watch for that¡. hmm¡¡»
¡¸¡ do you understand¡¡ how to operate it?¡±
¡ºWe arrived at this world by pressing on those five buttons¡ anyway, I recall you pressing the center button to activate the watch.¡»
¡°Hmm? Oh, that¡¯s it, isn¡¯t it?¡±
For now, I agree with Tre¡¯ainar that I need to secure a proper way back home, so press the button on the watch again.
Then, the watch lit up again, just like it did the first time.

¡°Oh, so this is how it starts¡?¡±
¡ºAs there are no instructions on how to use it, I suppose we need to do a little bit of trial and error¡ perhaps by moving the button and knobs, you can set the era and the coordinates of the transition destination¡ rather than fiddling around too much, press one of the buttons and see how far it moves.¡»
First of all, let¡¯s take it one at a time.
With that being said, I simply clicked one button.
Then, a few secondster¡

Just like before, a strange pattern enveloped my body with a powerful sh of light and sucked me in.
And nowes the real thing.
Chapter 264: Confrontation
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!
Chapter 264 ¨C Confrontation
With the sensation of being sucked in, but gradually released, the sh that enveloped me dissipated.
¡°Eh, is this¡ a forest?¡±
¡ºHmm, tis the same forest as before¡ but slightly¡ no, a lot has changed.¡»
It was already dark. I thought it was a forest that I had seen before, but since the trees looked different here and there, I felt that even if it was the same ce, it was not the same time.
But what bothered me more than that was this atmosphere.
¡°Eh¡ this ce¡¡±
Unconsciously, I bowed down and lowered my voice.
Yes, it wasn¡¯t just the scenery that was different.
It was obvious that the air emanating from this forest was different.
There was a murderous aura in the air.
And even if you can¡¯t see it, you can feel it somehow.
In this forest, I can feel multiple presences in the darkness of the night.
¡ºIf only you could use Magical Radar at times like this¡ but that feeling is not wrong. There are numerous individuals full of murderous intent¡ and for me¡ tis a nostalgic atmosphere to feel.¡»
The corners of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth turned up sharply.
It¡¯s as if he was shaking with a warrior¡¯s tremor¡
¡°Hey¡ who goes there?¡±
Huh?!
¡°No, nothing there, I thought I saw a light, but¡¡±
I hear a voice¡ obviously, the quality of the voice is not respectable.
Holding my breath, I hid in the thicket to see what was going on.
¡°Were there any other intruders?¡±
¡°There were ten, but we took care of em.¡±
Wait¡¡¡ h, hey hey¡
¡º¡¡ Calm down, child¡¡»
I was surprised and almost let out a loud voice.
Because they were talking too casually about ¡°taking care of them¡±.
I intuitively knew that it wasn¡¯t an analogy, but a straightforward meaning of ¡°killed¡±.
The owner of that voice, who also reeked of so much murderous intent and blood, was wandering around aimlessly. It was enough to make me think that way.
¡ºChild. Without moving your body¡ slowly move only your head and eyes¡ look at the owner of the voice. Make not a sound. Never speak up. This one is not human. Tis a demon soldier.¡»
Lying face down, I did as Tre¡¯ainar told me, carefully moving my head slightly and turning my eyes toward the direction of the voice.
And there¡
¡°So, all that¡¯s left to do is get that brat who got blown away by the ¡®General¡¯ and ran off.¡±
¡°That¡¯ll be all.¡±
¡°But, that one¡¯s already gone by now, right?¡±
¡°Idiot, what did the General say? Sent em flying, but not yet dead. But the wound isn¡¯t shallow enough to let em run.¡±
¡°True, but.¡±
¡°Don¡¯tin. With this, we capture em, we get rewarded, right?¡±
d in heavy armor and carrying a huge axe, he walked on two legs, but he wasn¡¯t human¡he was a giant¡¡
¡¸¡¡ rhino?¡¹
¡ºFufufu¡ the Rhinoceros Race¡¡»
Definitely of the demon race¡¡ on top of that¡¡
¡ºWith that armor, there is no doubt. They are soldiers of the Demon King¡¯s Army.¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
Why are there soldiers of the Demon King Army here? No, I don¡¯t even have to think about that.
¡ºApparently ¡ this is within the territory of the Empire, and the war with the Demon King Army is raging¡¡»
¡¸N, no way¡¡¹
¡ºThat being said, it happened many times¡ so which era is¡¡»
War. It¡¯s a word I¡¯ve only heard many times in textbooks and old stories of my father and other adults.
I always dismissed it as ¡°history before I was born¡±.
But that war¡
¡¸tte, wait a minute! War here!? Then, what about the vige? Grandma, father and mother!¡¹
I don¡¯t know if this is the ce I was before, how many years ago, or if it¡¯s a few yearster.
But if the war is happening here, then the vige near here was where I¨D¨D¨D
¡ºCalm down, your grandmother, Hiro and Mamu should be safe. Or rather, your grandmother was still alive after the war, was she not?¡»
¡¸Ah, I see¡ no matter what happens here, all three of them are safe¡¡¹
I was impatient, but Tre¡¯ainar was right.
This is just a world of the past, and my parents are still alive in the present day.
So, no matter what happens¡
¡°Now, let¡¯s just clean up¡ the intruders¡¡ huh?¡±
¡°Sure¡ I got it¡¡ huh?¡±
Hmm? What is it? Suddenly, the harsh tone of the rhinos¡¯ voices became a little softer¡ huh!? Our eyes met¡ª¡ª!?
¡ºChild, run! You have been discovered!¡»
¡°Tch!?¡±
I¡¯ve been noticed. My whole body was shaking, but I immediately stood up and jumped backward.
¡°Oraaaahhh! ¡ tch¡¡±
¡°Oh dearie, gotta finish em off~, in one shot¡¡. ah¡¡±
The axe plunged deep into the spot where I was lying face down.
The impact cracked the ground and blew away the overgrown bushes.
¡°Tch, not that brat¡ but, were there still intruders? The Allied Forces of Dogtanea¡¡±
¡°Are you the scum of the Allied Forces who sneaked into our camp and tried to assassinate the General?¡±
Our eyes met, and in an instant, they were in battle mode¡¡ no, that¡¯s wrong. It¡¯s not a battle.
The atmosphere I felt from the two demons staring at me was different from any battle I had ever experienced.
It¡¯s not about defeating the opponent, it¡¯s not about intimidating them, it¡¯s simply a fight to the death.
¡°Well, even though I say Allied Forces, it is the vile ones among them¡ the ¡®Bethreal Kingdom¡¯, those are the nasty sort.¡±
¡°They tried to assassinate the General just to get the credit¡ moreover, no matter how strong they are, the idea of using a brat like that against the general and making em fight each other at worst, that kind of rotten thinking is scary.¡±
¡°But that¡¯s all you got. I¡¯ll send you to your dead buddies right away.¡±
¡°Or, if you tell us where that brat is hiding¡ we can at least take you prisoner, okay?¡±
Still, did these guys mistake me for the Allied Forces? And the Kingdom of Bethreal?
¡ºPerhaps they tried to assassinate the General of the unit that was encamped here in a night raid. However, they were met with retaliation¡ it was the people of the Kingdom of Bethreal who carried it out, though I do not know if it was under the orders of the Allied Forces or if it was at their own discretion¡¡»
And it seems that there were still other survivors, and I was mistaken for one of them¡ ah~, such a hassle ¡
Well, what to do now?
These guys were pretty strong.
Not to mention that my body may be a little stiff from this first-time experience of war mode air.
But I guess it¡¯s even better than Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi, and from the looks of it, I¡¯d probably be able to¡
¡¸¡¡ can I beat them?¡¹
¡ºNo, I do not know how much of an impact it will have¡ at this juncture¡¡»
¡¸Got it.¡¹
Anyway, since this is a past world, it¡¯s best to avoid unnecessary things as much as possible.
After discussing it with Tre¡¯ainar, I¡¯m not going to waste my time talking my way out of this situation¡
¡°ter!¡±
¡°¡±Aeehh!!??¡±¡±
I decided to turn around and flee deep into the forest.
¡°W, wait, you bastard!¡±
¡°Ngah, you make an outrageous assassination attempt, and run when it fails? Cowards!¡±
Oh~, I hear some terrible insults.
That rhino was also thumping his heavy body ¡ what!?
¡¸Oh, wow. He¡¯s pushing straight ahead regardless of big trees and other obstacles¡ knocking them all down!¡¹
¡ºThat is the strength of the Rhinoceros Race. The power thates from charging straight ahead is tremendous.¡»
¡¸Heh¡ but after seeing Mr. Machio and Mr. Aka¡¡¹
¡ºDo not lower your guard. Due to their sluggishness, their initial movements are slow, but they elerate as they charge forward. Move ahead with Magical Parkour.¡»
¡¸Roger!¡¹
I was able to see the power of a soldier of the Demon King Army during the war. This is a very valuable experience.
¡¸And, do you know those two?¡¹
¡ºI do not. Howrge do you think the Demon King¡¯s Army was?¡»
¡¸Haha, right¡¡¹
¡ºBesides, territory was taken and reimed several times during the war, so I still cannot tell when in the war this might be¡ at least if I knew the name of the General¡¡»
For now, I¡¯m a little relieved that it¡¯s not Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s acquaintance or anything like that.
In the worst case¡ for example¡¡ if I end up confronting close friends of Tre¡¯ainar or something like that, it would be the worst confrontation¡
¡°Hmm? There you are!?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, someone from the morning direction noticed my presence and came towards me.
It was a demon. And this one is big too. It wasn¡¯t a rhino, but¡
¡¸Covered in body hair¡ a monkey?¡¹
¡ºThe Ape Race¡ no¡.. also¡¡»
¡¸Pig snout¡¡¡¹
The third demon. Like the rhinos, they are d in armor, their exposed arms and heads covered with body hair, and they have a distinctive nose.
And despite their huge size, they move nimbly above the treetops.
They are pretty fast.
¡ºTis something like a half-orangutan and half-orc race¡ and that method of movement is called Brachiation, a unique technique in which they use both hands to move by alternately gripping the branches.¡»
¡¸Oh, oh, I see¡¡¹
¡ºWatch out! Not just one. There are more around him¡¡»
¡¸Ge, hold on, they¡¯reing in droves!?¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡ Twenty in all.¡»
In the first ce, there¡¯s no way that only two of them were searching this forest for someone.
There were search teams from the Demon King Army all around¡
¡°Ukkih!¡±
¡°Ukyah!¡±
¡°Gehaha, I¡¯ll take care of em!¡±
It¡¯s bad. I can¡¯t go through all of them because there are so many different races.
But, for the time being, I could tell that the first one, the Half-Ape Half-Orc, was a pretty dangerous demon.
¡°Captain Piggory!¡±
¡°He¡¯s scum from the Allied Forces! That brat isn¡¯t here yet¡ but!¡±
The number of demons has increased, and more importantly, a breakthrough¡
¡ºNu? Piggory? ¡¡ I believe that name is¡ probably¡ Huh!? Oi, child!¡»
¡°Hmm? ¡¡ ah¡¡±
That was then.
As I was jumping over the trees trying to figure out how to escape, I saw it.
¡°¡¡ Uh¡ Oh¡ Oh¡¡±
In this night, let alone in the forest where demons were roaming around, leaning against arge tree, with eyes so weak that they seemed to be about to close at any moment¡
¡°Is that¡ a kid?¡±
¡º¡¡ that one!?¡»
¡°Hey, why are you here! I mean¡¡ hi, hideeh¡¡±
A little girl who was there for some reason.
She was wearing a fine robe that ¡°seems¡± to be based on white. But now it was dyed red.
There are blue bruises on her small and thin arms, and even on her face.
Her hair is long, straight and brown. Her bangs cover most of her face, but she was in too much pain to hide it.
It¡¯s not like she was injured in a fall or anything.
Obviously, someone had struck her and hurt her.
¡°¡¡ who?¡±
The girl¡¯s voice sounded so weak that I felt like she was about to disappear.
I had no answer to that question.
¡ºOi, child! This girl¡ huh, tch, child! They will soon catch up! Turn around¡ª¡ª¡»
For a moment, I was stunned, unable to hear what Tre¡¯ainar was saying.
Because I¡¯ve never been in a situation like this before.
She might be a little older than Amae, but a little girl like that was covered in scars.
It was the first time I had been in such a situation, and it was so cruel that I was at a loss for words.
And then¡¡
¡°Hey, stop there¡ Huh! Hahahaha, hey, that big tree!¡±
¡°That brat is there too! I found em!¡±
As I stopped, I could hear theughter of the demons who were gradually closing the distance between us¡
¡°You gave us a lotta trouble! You fools have plotted to assassinate our Great General, ¡®Lord Gouda¡¯! Even though it¡¯s a child, that is one of the Heroes! No mercy! I take that head!¡±
¡¡ Hero?
¡º¡¡ tis Espie¡¡»
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
I was speechless for a few seconds.
This kid is Espie?
And that demon, I think he also mentioned some other name that sounded somewhat familiar¡
Chapter 265: No Choice but to Act
Chapter 265 ¨C No Choice but to Act
¡°Ah¡ hey¡ I¡¡±
Let me sort things out first.
Is the girl who is about to die Espie?
¡°Don¡¯t let em get away, surround em!¡±
¡°Ready? Don¡¯t rush in on your own! Even if she¡¯s dying, the enemy is one of the Seven Heroes!¡±
About twenty armed beast-like demons.
Soldiers of the Demon King¡¯s Army, which has been at war with humanity for years, with Tre¡¯ainar at its head.
Here, and in this era, was a world where the Demon King Army and humanity were engaged in fierce battles.
¡°One of the Seven Heroes, a member of the Allied Forces¡ the heretic from the Kingdom of Bethreal¡ ¡®Psychic Maiden Espie¡¯ right?¡±
The demon who was called the Captain asked this whilepletely surrounding us and keeping a certain distance.
¡°Bring me her head. I will hold that head up, and let the world know that we, the Gouda Army, are the strongest of the Demon King Army!¡±
Wait, wait, wait¡ her head¡ even though she¡¯s a hero, such a small child¡ he¡¯s really going to kill her¡
¡ºI have heard the name of a great warrior named Piggory¡ one of the Commanders of Gouda¡¯s army. And the period when Gouda upied part of the Empire¡¯s territory¡ most of all, if Espie was already a renowned figure as one of the Seven Heroes¡ the time in which I and the child have arrived is probably¡ about 16~17 years ago¡¡»
I seem to be the only one who is confused by the words of the Demon Captain.
The only one who looked at the current situation calmly was Tre¡¯ainar.
I see.
This kind of thing is the norm in this world¡ the norm in this era¡
¡°Come on¡ just kill me¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, Espie, who was still leaning against the big tree, muttered with lifeless eyes.
¡°I understand¡ I have¡ failed my mission¡ no more¡¡ a child no one needs anymore¡ if I killed a lot in the war¡ the painful experiments could have been reduced¡ I wouldn¡¯t be beaten anymore¡ but¡¡ I failed¡¡ they said that the fate of the country was with me¡¡±
This is¡¡ Espie?
Stupid. The adult Espie I met was more goofy and involved with people in an annoying way ¡ but what is this? Was this how she looked now?
As if she had given up on herself, on reality, on the world, and refused to live at all¡
¡°Hmph, how pathetic. Then I will send you on your way myself. One of the ninemanders chosen by the great Lord Gouda¡ Me, Piggory! And that mongrel near you is next.¡±
Piggory, the demon who was called the Captain, drew the Great Sword on his back and approached us.
¡°You guys¡¡±
¡°Hmm? What, you want to resist? At least I¡¯ll cut you down quickly and painlessly.¡±
Before I knew it, I found myself standing in front of Piggory, protecting Espie.
¡°Your opponent ¡ is just a kid, you know?¡±
¡°Huh? That kid that has already taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of ourpatriots, don¡¯t you know?¡±
¡°What, just¡¡±
The figure was so outrageous that it didn¡¯t really register.
Even though she is a kid, she is one of the Seven Heroes.
The war has already taken more lives than I can imagine.
Maybe that¡¯s true.
But¡.
¡°I, is that right~¡¡ right¡ even if she¡¯s a kid, she took the lives of your men¡ isn¡¯t that right¡ that can¡¯t be forgiven¡¡±
¡°¡¡ What are you talking about?¡±
¡°I mean, what are the Union guys doing, assassinations¡ really, that¡¯s cowardly. I wonder what the Hero Hiro and the Battle Priestess Mamu would think¡ no¡.. I guess they wouldn¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Hmm? Hiro, you say?¡±
¡°They¡¯re both hotheaded, driven by righteousness and yet not getting anywhere¡ I guess that¡¯s why they weren¡¯t told about this incident either. Maybe that¡¯s why they haven¡¯t taught me anything important about the old days. It wouldn¡¯t be strange that they didn¡¯t tell me¡¡. I mean, if they knew and just let it happen¡ that¡¯s all the more reason to despise them.¡±
¡°What¡ what are you talking about?¡±
I wonder why. Even though I myself rejected my father and mother so much, at this time I thought, ¡°I want them to be like that¡±.
Humanity is in crisis. If children are strong enough, they may be forced to go to war.
In fact, my father and mother were already fighting in the war when they were my age.
But, even though they were the same Seven Heroes, they weren¡¯t the kind of people who would let a kid who wasn¡¯t even ten years old try to assassinate the Six Supremacy without a fight, I thought, hoping for something meaningless.
Besides, if they knew about this, they wouldn¡¯t have left the situation alone.
Even though a friend is in a pinch, it doesn¡¯t look like anyone ising to help.
So, that said¡
¡¸Well¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ what are we going to do?¡¹
If this goes on, Espie will be killed. And me too, I suppose.
But Espie survives after this. She lives. That¡¯s why we met in the future.
How? Will someonee to her rescue? But there was no sign of anyone.
So how did the future Espie survive this situation?
Did I¡¡
¡ºYou have no choice but to act.¡»
¡¸¡¡ is that right?¡¹
¡ºWell, I suppose tis the way of history¡ you have no choice but to act!¡»
Hearing Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words, I felt a headache myself, thinking that it was the case.
¡°I seriously had nothing to do with this, and they did this to me¡ I¡¯m really sorry, but¡ I can¡¯t let her die.¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°The reason¡ if we ever meet again in the future, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
I have to do it.
Having made up my mind, I took Espie in my arms.
¡°Huh? Hey¡ who? What¡¡±
¡°Shut it, brat! Be quiet!¡±
¡°Eh¡?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk about dying so easily! If you live, you¡¯ll be able to make a frivolous face when you burst outughing, and you can even get a handsome boyfriend!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡?¡±
All of a sudden, she found herself being hugged by aplete stranger, so Espie must have been a bit surprised.
But, I silenced the bewildered Espie ¡
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Hwauh!?¡±
I ran towards the demons surrounding us.
¡°H, hey, here theye!¡±
¡°Tch, I¡¯ll kill em both in one go!¡±
I ran straight into the first two rhinos I encountered.
I ran right between them and just before they were about to swing their weapons at me, I slowed my pace.
Change of pace¡¡ from that¡¡ shift my weight to the right.
¡°Nu, this guy!?¡±
¡°What!? Where!?¡±
The two rhinos reacted, and shifted their center of gravity, apanied by my movement.
But then, I performed a crossover step, a weight shift to the right to a turn to the left¡
¡°Nu, wh, what¡¡±
¡°This move!?¡±
With this step alone, the two werepletely staggered.
They seem to move fast in a straight line due to their charging power, but there¡¯s no way they can keep up with me in sideways movements.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Killer Crossover¡¿!!¡±
The moment they reacted and tried to shift their center of gravity while keeping their gaze on the opposite side, I stepped in the opposite direction again and overtook them all at once.
The two were flustered and couldn¡¯t keep up with me, and their legs got tangled up and they fell on their butts on the spot.
The Ankle Break.
¡°What!?¡±
¡°What are you doing¡ that one¡ what¡¯s going on now!¡±
¡°Fast¡ no, wait, he¡¯s getting away!¡±
¡°After em!¡±
I quickly broke through the encircling wall.
This kind of thing was the norm.
¡°Kuhahahaha, even those two, the actual Hero and Battle Priestess, got ankle-broken by these steps.
¡°The encirclement was easily¡ you¡¡ just what are¡¡±
¡°If you want to know, live longer.¡±
Espie seemed confused, but I didn¡¯t care now, and I ran through the dark night forest while holding this small body tightly.
¡ºOi, child. You need not flee, with people of that caliber, even if you fight as you are now¡¡»
¡¸Yes, but¡ I¡¯m not an enemy of the Demon King¡¯s Army¡ they¡¯re not doing anything wrong, what they¡¯re doing is the norm in this world and in this era¡ unlike the time when the monster attacked the vige, I¡¯m not sure how I feel about it¡¡¹
¡ºNuh¡ mu¡¡»
¡¸It¡¯s even worse to hear that Espie here is being targeted to avenge the deaths of theirrades, even in the context of war¡¡¹
¡ºTis so, but¡¡»
¡¸Then, I want to avoid fighting as much as possible¡ I don¡¯t particrly hate demons. um¡ I like Mr. Aka, Bro, and Kron¡ and the situation is different than when I fought Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi¡¡¹
¡ºH, hmph, such a pushover¡¡»
¡¸Yes, yes, I¡¯m a pompous twat.¡¹
For now, we¡¯ll have to continue on our way to a ce with people and take care of Espie.
First of all, we¡¯ll have to go all the way through the forest to¡
¡°You won¡¯t get away!¡±
¡°Weak humans, don¡¯t think you can escape from us!¡±
And, as expected, can they let me escape like this?
They will chase us from behind without giving up.
In particr, that Piggory and his in physical abilities were dangerous.
Do I use the Breakthrough to escape?
At that time¡
¡ºChild, arrow from the right. Halt!¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
I stopped abruptly at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suddenmand. Then an arrow passed in front of me at high speed, piercing a nearby tree.
¡¸Archers¡¡¹
¡ºThere are other search parties besides the ones from before¡ apparently, ten over there¡¡ twenty to the left¡ and twenty ahead. ¡»
¡¸Gee, seriously¡¡¹
¡ºTis a search for one of the Seven Heroes on the verge of death. They must not allow her escape, so they seem to be searching on a fairlyrge scale¡ more and more attacks wille under the cover of the dark night. Currently, you cannot evade an ¡®invisible attack¡¯.¡»
¡¸Nu, muh¡ uh¡¡¹
I finally realized after Tre¡¯ainar told me. Sure, I couldn¡¯t see much, but I could feel many presences, not only from the people who were chasing me from behind, but also from the surroundings.
Such a hassle.
And then¡¡
¡ºChild¡ this is the situation¡ you may use the Breakthrough to breach head-on¡ better yet, you can blow away the entire surroundings with the Great Magic Spiral¡ even so, if you are still too concerned about the details to interfere, then¡ take advantage of this situation and master the technique.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Huh?¡¹
¡ºAfter grasping all enemy positions, movements, and attacks, avoid them all and break through this siege¡¡»
Taking advantage of my selfishness, Tre¡¯ainar ordered me to learn a skill to survive this situation.
That is¡¡
¡°Magical Radar.¡±
Oh, now I remember¡
Chapter 266: Blame it all on the Real Hero
Chapter 266 ¨C me it all on the Real Hero
Attacks came under the cover of darkness.
Soldiers stationed on all sides, gradually tightening the siege.
In addition¡¡
¡°Eh, another archer! Damn¡¡±
¡ºFrom the left¡ tis rocks! Get down.¡»
¡°Whoa, d, damn¡ really annoying¡¡±
I moved my body to protect Espie, but my reaction was slightly dyed.
The skin on my thighs and cheeks were scratched, and I could feel the slight heat from the wounds to the point where a thin ooze of blood came out.
¡°Even though I can¡¯t really see much, these guys¡ know where I am, don¡¯t they?¡±
The enemy clearly knew my position and attacked. That was the most troublesome thing.
¡ºThe opponents are veteran soldiers. Well ustomed to these night battles and have good night vision. As an amateur, you are an easy target for them.¡»
¡°Nuh¡¡±
¡ºBesides, there are quite a few of them, but they are quiet now and you cannot hear the enemy¡¯s instructions, right? The sharpshooters move as soon as they fire their bows, so that their position remains unnoticed. They are hunting in earnest.¡»
I see. It¡¯s exactly the same as Shinobu.
¡ºThe opposition has also concluded that you are no simpleton based on your footwork earlier. They are gradually narrowing the encirclement to prevent you from breaching it in the confusion of a reckless attack.¡»
Yes, these are real soldiers ¡ it¡¯s not a battle, it¡¯s a war.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar, does that mean they know where I am and what I¡¯m doing, like the Magical Radar?¡¹
¡ºTis not to the extent of Magical Radar. Tis simply a matter of having decent night vision and also intuition based on umted experience. As a result, the opponent has acquired a certain amount of perception.¡»
¡¸Experience¡that¡¯s¡¡¹
¡ºIndeed. Youck that experience. Compared to soldiers who have fought in a hundred battles, the amount of actualbat experience you have is overwhelmingly insufficient.¡»
I have no experience in war, so from their point of view, I am an easy target.
I¡¯m enough of an amateur to be their strawman.
And there is nothing we can do about myck of actualbat experience.
But¡¡
¡ºHowever, though you may be outnumbered, in terms of intensity, you are top ss, both in the past and in the future. The Sword Saint¡¯s son, Shinobu, Aka, Toulowe, Bro, Machio, Jamdi¡¯el, Vasr, Paripi, and above all¡ your daily sparring with me. Remember how focused you were then, when you were pushed into a corner.¡»
Right. Even if I¡¯m surrounded, don¡¯t panic, calm down, and on top of that ¡°enter¡± your consciousness.
Extreme concentration. Into the state of the zone¡
¡ºYes. On top of that, the sensation of inhaling the magic power in the atmosphere with Magical Breathing¡ then in reverse, gradually exhaling your own magic power and infusing it into the atmosphere¡ thend¡ covering the air¡ like a semicircr dome ¡ or as if dispersing flower pollen or butterfly scales ¡ whatever image you arefortable with. Imagine the magic as it spreads around you.¡»
Instead of inhaling your magic from the atmosphere, let it seep out into the atmosphere and share the sensation with you.
¡ºThe range of the radar is limited by the amount of magic power, but everything within that range will inform you through your magic as it seeps into the atmosphere¡ information about anything that touches or interferes with your magic¡¡»
This is a different technique from the Breakthrough, which strengthens one¡¯s own body with magic power, or the Great Magic Spiral, which releases and maintains all magic power in one spot.
It¡¯s about spreading the magic power that I¡¯ve been concentrating on myself and my right arm over a wide area.
Furthermore, I have to maintain it. It¡¯s pretty nerve-wracking.
I am told to master the sensation now.
But¡¡
¡°Eh, whoa!? Hey¡ damn¡¡±
They¡¯re not just going to wait for me to concentrate.
If I try to stop moving, projectiles wille at me mercilessly from all sides.
And the trouble is that when I try to use this Magical Radar, it takes a lot of nerves, so I can¡¯t concentrate on anything else.
If the radar doesn¡¯t activate, I¡¯m just sitting there snarling, so if there¡¯s an attack from the darkness that I can¡¯t already see, it¡¯s even harder to avoid.
Always moving around, concentrating and then activating¡ this¡¡ this is quite difficult!
¡°Huh!? Flying in, again¡ guh¡ I¡¯ll take it forever!¡±
Another arrow flew.
This time, I thought ¡°Maybe it wille flying¡± and focused my attention a little bit in that direction, so I managed to avoid it.
But Tre¡¯ainar beside me¡
¡ºThat will not do. You are merely dodging the arrows you can barely see with your eyes at thest minute.¡»
I did that out of fear, not radar, but simply by looking and then evading.
Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t miss it.
¡ºFear not. You have evaded stronger attacks. Do not fear a few injuries.¡»
¡¸I know¡ but my body is¡ reacting on its own¡¡¹
¡ºI always say this, do I not? Thest thing you need is¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ heart, right?¡¹
Even I know that. But my body does such things regardless of my will.
To be honest, Mr. Aka¡¯s punches were stronger, and I jumped in and countered them without fear of injury.
But, while I was ¡°prepared¡± to withstand a visible attack, I could not prepare myself for an invisible attack, and my body stiffened.
What if an enemy hits me while I¡¯m focusing on learning Magical Radar? What if I get hit in the head, in the eye, in the heart?
Even more so now that I¡¯m holding a small kid in my arms¡
¡°Hey¡ who are you?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°¡¡ you¡¯re not from the country¡ not even from the Allied Forces¡ right?¡±
At that moment, Espie, who was being held by me, tugged at my cor with her small hand and asked.
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right, but¡ I¡¯m sorry, but leave the questions forter. I need to concentrate right now, so don¡¯t talk to me.¡±
¡°¡ I think you can escape¡¡ if you¡¯re by yourself¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Just now, your movement was amazing¡ if you leave me¡ they¡¯lle for me, so use the chance¡¡±
Uh¡¡ what is this kid talking about?
What did this kid, who is about to die, say to me in a voice that has no power or inflection?
What did she mean?
To trante it directly, was she trying to tell me to run away by abandoning her as a decoy?
¡°No more, I¡¯m done¡ I¡¯vee this far¡ I¡¯ve failed my mission¡ my reason for existing is¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I told you to leave the life stories, the sulky whining, and your situation forter!¡±
¡°Hiu¡¡±
I screamed in spite of myself.
I scared her, didn¡¯t I?
For a kid like this¡ no¡¡
¡°But¡ why? There is no reason for you to help me. So it¡¯s fine¡ I¡¯m not¡¡±
¡°Shut up, don¡¯t decide for yourself! I have no reason to abandon you, so it¡¯s okay!!¡±
Just because she was such a kid!
I couldn¡¯t help but raise my voice.
¡°Look, why do you think you¡¯re like this?¡±
¡°¡¡ huh? I failed¡¡ Gouda beat me¡¡±
¡°No! It¡¯s the heroes Hiro and Mamu¡¯s fault! Because those two didn¡¯t care about the mental health of theirrades! Yes, me it all on the Heroes! Why did you fail in your mission? It¡¯s Hero Hiro¡¯s fault because he doesn¡¯t have the power to blow the enemy to smithereens! So it¡¯s all the Heroes¡¯ fault! Let¡¯s leave it at that! No matter how many lives you take, it¡¯s all the fault of Hero Hiro, who was so weak that he let you do such a thing in the first ce! Think of it that way!¡±
Father~¡¡ Mother~¡¡ after running away from those two, I got involved in this way¡ in a way that makes me clean up their mess¡
¡ºKorakora, child¡ you are much too outspoken, are you not? The circumstances, situations, and backgrounds of the world at that time wereplicated in various ways¡¡»
¡¸Don¡¯t get children involved inplicated things! It¡¯s still my stupid father¡¯s fault for getting them involved! That¡¯s what I think! Even if this is a war, even in a world and time where this is the norm, I don¡¯t ever want to think that this is the right thing to do!¡¹
¡º¡¡ Fuhaha¡¡ not at all¡¡»
The circumstances? Who knows. A Hero who should be able to do anything can¡¯t do anything, and now there¡¯s such a kid in such a situation.
But that¡¯s why¡
¡°But don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a man who will eventually surpass that Hero. In other words, I dare to do what the Heroes can¡¯t do! That¡¯s why I¡¯ll definitely save you! Espie!¡±
¡°¡ surpass¡¡ Hiro?¡±
And the moment I dered that, something disappeared from me.
While I was concentrating on mastering the Magical Radar, there was a fear of the attacks of the Demon King Armying at me.
This fear prevented me from focusing my attention until the very end, and as a result I couldn¡¯t activate the radar.
But it¡¯s strange.
The moment I said to myself, ¡°I will definitely save this kid,¡± my fear disappeared.
¡º¡¡ tis so¡¡ even if I brought up the circumstances before you were born, it would have been a nuisance to you¡¡»
As soon as I heard Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s chuckle, I realized¡
¡°Huh!? ¡¡ it¡¯s flying in.¡±
Without even hearing Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, on the contrary, even though I couldn¡¯t see anything, I took a half step back from where I was.
Immediately after that, an arrow passed in front of me.
Also¡¡
¡°Stones, many, from the left¡¡±
Without a pause, the soldiers from the Demon King¡¯s Army, three of them, I guess¡¡ threw stones at me, but I easily dodged them.
Yes, I see everything.
I came to understand.
I can sense it now.
¡ºFuhahaha, for better or for worse¡ it was caught on the radar. At this moment, this ce is your world, child!¡»
Along with those words, a smile naturally appeared on my lips.
Ah, the Demon King Army seems to be a little surprised that I am suddenly dodging their attacks.
They stopped their gradual approach.
What are you going to do?
Hmm? This time, about twenty people picked up stones at their feet¡ what is it? Are they saying, ¡®After the signal, throw them all at once¡¯?
In addition, there were another twenty people waiting behind the twenty with stones and arrows.
In other words, they will use time-dyed attacks.
¡ºEven if they try to stop, they are already within range of the child¡¯s radar. Within that range, even whispered conversations can be detected. In other words¡¡»
¡°Now! Throw all projectiles at once!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Roger!!!!¡±¡±¡±
Assuming that I will avoid the stones in front, back, left, and right, they threw them with a little bit of control.
Fist-sized stones all at once¡
¡ºIn the past, the child was able to avoid the opponent¡¯s attack after seeing it. By knowing where the attack originates in advance¡ no one will be able to capture you anymore!¡»
¡°Magical Step!¡±
¡°Hya, wa, ah¡ huh?¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeehh!!??¡±¡±¡±
I don¡¯t feel like I will be hit anymore.
I can see all the sudden changes in my movements, Espie, and even though I can¡¯t see their faces or figures, all the members of the Demon King Army are surprised with their mouths open.
¡ºSuperb. But do not get too conceited! This is not the depth of this technique. What you have learned is the basic of the basics! Besides, Magical Radar is more nerve-wracking to maintain than it is to activate. You still cannot hold it for a long time yet. In these seconds, outmaneuver them all!¡»
And then, Tre¡¯ainar pushed my back, telling me not to get carried away, and suggesting that this power ¡°still has a long way to go¡±.
Chapter 267: Path of Light
Chapter 267 ¨C Path of Light
Up until now, whenever an opponent attacked me, I would respond by observing everything from their gaze, the direction of their arms and elbows, the direction of their legs and knees, and the movement of their muscles in order to avoid attacks.
But this time, I¡¯m not looking.
I feel. As if this whole area were my senses, I grasp everything in this space.
Once I do that, no one will be able to catch me.
¡°Kuh, what¡ keep throwing! Keep firing! There¡¯s only one of them! Get rid of him quickly!¡±
The Demon King¡¯s Army, which had been calmly attacking me from a distance without revealing their position until now, was also in a state of panic. Their raised voices were proof of this.
And now, I could even feel the agitation in their heartbeats.
¡°Crossover¡ Carioca¡ Split step!¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±
I don¡¯t even open my eyes anymore.
On top of that, I make full use of all the stepwork in my repertoire to avoid being hit by any attack from the Demon King¡¯s Army.
Many arrows and stones pass right by my body and Espie¡¯s.
They don¡¯t hit us.
No, I dodge them.
¡°What? This guy is¡ not getting hit at all¡¡±
And this move of mine now, even though I am just a child, was enough to surprise even the Seven Heroes, who have carved their names in history.
But on the other hand, I also understood the meaning of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s warning, ¡°Don¡¯t get carried away¡±.
After receiving information from all around me, right, left, in front, and behind, I have to decide in an instant what action to take.
In other words, the informationes into my mind one after the other, all at once¡
¡°Hehe¡ gu¡¡±
¡ºChild¡ did you feel it?¡»
Just a few seconds of Magical Steps with the Magical Radar activated made me break out in a cold sweat.
In other words, my head felt like it was going to explode.
Also, this radar is quite sensitive, so it¡¯s quite nerve-wracking to maintain.
That¡¯s why I still can¡¯t keep the radar on for long periods of time.
In short, I can¡¯t just sit around.
¡ºHow do you fare? The enemies are soldiers. Even though they are a bit shaken, their coordination is top-notch. Even if you make a rash move, you will only be backed into a corner. Use the radar to predict where they are, how they will move, and how they will react to your actions. Use your foresight like a game of Go!¡»
Needless to say, my mind grasped it all.
Then, an image appears in my mind.
The enemy cement. They were moving around while repeatedly throwing stones and shooting arrows, trying to keep me from realizing their position.
But, ording to the enemy¡¯s movements that were transmitted, they were moving in the same pattern.
They were just repeating simr patterns.
¡ºTis so. The soldiers use coordination. But that is to say, they are merely performing predetermined movements.¡»
Coordination is not something that moves in pieces on its own.
There are fixed movements,ws, and conventions.
Then, I should be able to figure it out.
The four in the front to the right were scattered to the left and right, and the eight on the left were on standby¡
¡ºAlthough the soldiers are top-notch, the original specialty of heavy soldiers like them is frontline assaults. In this forest night battle, their coordination would not be soplicated, would it?¡»
I see¡¡
¡°Okay, I got the gist of it! Espie, don¡¯t bite your tongue, okay?¡±
¡°Ah, eh¡?¡±
And at that time, I saw something.
¡°Nu¡ hey, he went to the left!¡±
¡°Hey, go that way! Go around to the front and cut them off!¡±
In my mind, I envisioned the path from here to slip through the encirclement.
The moment I opened my eyes, I could see the route shining in this dark night.
¡ºYes. Just like that¡¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar, who was standing beside me, nodded his head in a good mood.
At the same time, I remembered what Tre¡¯ainar told me a few months ago.
It was right after I ran away from home. Just before I met Mr. Aka, Tre¡¯ainar taught me Magical Parkour.
¨D¨D¨DThe shortest route to the destination or goal. Tis an application of dynamic vision and peripheral vision, which until now has only been active in sparring and speed reading. The ability to detect the shortest route to the goal while avoiding obstacles, by measuring ¡®your own physical ability, passiveness, foothold situation and risk assessment, using experience, prediction and the ability to observe and understand surrounding conditions. The skilled person sees the situation in an instant while running, and the shortest route in which to advance to the target appears as a Path of Light¡. A Shining Road¡¡ such is the phenomenon.
Until now, I hadn¡¯t been able to reach that point.
That¡¯s why I understand it now that I¡¯ve reached it.
A Path of Light shining through the forest.
¡°Here!¡±
¡ºThat is ¡ the Magical Shining Road!¡»
I run along this Path of Light.
To the right, to the left, using parkour to kick off rocks and trees, I jump¡
¡°Oh, t, turn around!? That way is¡ ¡°
¡°S¡ say what? Hey, why are you over there¡¡±
¡°Huh? Because, you said to get in front and cut em off¡¡±
¡°Shit, but then that ce is unguarded!?¡±
Taking advantage of the soldiers of the Demon King¡¯s Army, I effortlessly broke through the opening in the encirclement.
¡°No, no! After them!¡±
¡°Not good! Don¡¯t let Espie of the Seven Heroes escape!¡±
¡°Shoot, shoooooooot!¡±
¡°Oh, he¡¯s turning around again¡¡±
¡°What the hell was that move! You don¡¯t think¡ a ninja warrior from the Japone Kingdom?!¡±
And no matter what kind of attack they throw from behind me, they can¡¯t catch me anymore.
¡°You totally¡ got away¡ ¡°
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hey, who are you? You¡¯re so amazing¡ but I don¡¯t know you. Are you famous?¡±
¡°Someday¡ I¡¯ll be a man whose fame echoes around the world. My name is¡¡ I can¡¯t tell you that.¡±
¡°¡¡ the world? But you can¡¯t tell me your name? Why not?¡±
Espie looked up in my arms with a puzzled expression.
As I patted her head¡
¡°It¡¯splicated, you know. For now¡ I¡¯m d you¡¯re safe. I know it makes no sense to say this, but you¡ don¡¯t be too hard on yourself, okay?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
Then, Espie was startled for a moment, but immediately grabbed my chest and buried her face in it.
¡°¡¡ why are you being so nice to me?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°¡¡ I, I¡¯m a useless child¡ so why are you so nice to me? Will you help me?¡±
What was that? Was she trembling a little bit as she held on tight?
I don¡¯t think she¡¯s scared, but¡ am I being nice?
With just this much¡¡
¡°You¡¯re one of the Seven Heroes, right? The other Seven Heroes¡ aren¡¯t they like your older brothers and sisters? Aren¡¯t they being nice to you?¡±
Tre¡¯ainar said.
Espie of the Seven Heroes, was like a younger sister to my father and mother.
But¡¡
¡°Uh¡ the Seven Heroes, but¡ I was told that the other Seven Heroes might be enemies one day, so I shouldn¡¯t get friendly¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why, I¡ I¡¯ve met Hiro and the others¡ but I didn¡¯t get close to them at all¡¡±
Eh, eeehh? What¡¯s that? Even though they have the same title, they don¡¯t get along?
Wait, are they even friends?
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºNo, it should not be so. At least to my knowledge¡ no, perhaps that was a littleter¡¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
¡ºThat is to say, Hiro and Mamu have not yet deepened their rtionship with Espie¡ I suppose that will deepen from here on out.¡»
¡¸Ah~¡¡¡¹
¡ºMoreover, the gerontocracy of the Kingdom of Bethreal¡ would issue ¡®such instructions¡¯¡ while presenting a stance of cooperation with the Union¡ in an attempt to obtain information about the military strengths and weaknesses of other countries, and to take credit for achievements. In the name of strengthening their influence¡¡»
I asked Tre¡¯ainar if her story was a little different, but is that what you mean?
So my father and mother¡ in other words, Espie will soon be the younger sister of my father and mother.
I don¡¯t understand the flow of the times or the rtionship between these guys¡
¡°¡¡ hey¡ who told you that you shouldn¡¯t get along?¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ The King¡¡ and grownups¡ in my country¡¡±
¡°Geez, there are always countries that ignore children¡¯s feelings and force them to do whatever they want¡ no matter what the era¡¡±
I sympathized with Espie, who responded to my question with, ¡°Why are you asking me that?¡±, even though it might be a bit cheap.
To be honest, I¡¯m not snobbish enough to say anything preachy, but for some reason, I felt that I had to say something to Espie right now.
But before that¡
¡°Uh¡ ugh¡¡±
¡°Huh!? Pull yourself together!¡±
In my arms, Espie gave a look of agony.
That¡¯s right. She¡¯s been badly injured and is very weak.
¡ºChild. Find a body of water. Once there, you should treat Espie. Fortunately, you bought a lot of items from the equipment store¡ I will instruct you on her treatment.¡»
¡¸Okay.¡¹
¡ºAlso¡ Espie seems rather exhausted¡ set up camp some distance away.¡»
¡¸¡¡¡¡¡¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡ What?¡»
¡¸No, nothing.¡¹
For some reason, Tre¡¯ainar had been cooperating normally in helping Espie, but this was one of the people who had beaten Tre¡¯ainar along with my parents¡ and yet¡¡
¡ºHmph. That was so long ago that you were not even born¡ it does not matter now¡ the more pressing matter is camping! And when I say camping, I mean Curry! Tis highly nutritious, so after you finish her treatment, feed Espie with a shot!¡»
As if he was trying to hide his embarrassment, he seemed enthusiastic about calling it a camp or curry, but I can¡¯tment on that anymore either¡
¡°Oh!¡±
I smiled and nodded.

Chapter 268: Intermission (Psychic Maiden)
Pateon Sponsored Chapter! Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!!
Chapter 268 ¨C Intermission (Psychic Maiden)
The first thing I remember is a world full of grown-ups around me.
¨D¨DIs this the girl? The abnormal female sample?
¨D¨DYes. The subject can levitate, destroy almost anything just by extending her hand without using magic, and she disys even more violence with emotional fluctuations.
¨D¨DIt seems that her parents died in the war, and after that she was in the hands of ve traders, but apparently she was beyond their ability to control¡ however, this was a most unexpected find.
¨D¨DIf she is well-tamed, she will be a great asset on the battlefield. We can demonstrate our power to other countries that have looked down on us as a weak nation.
¨D¨DVery well. Conduct various tests to determine her potential. In addition, educate her so that she cannot rebel.
They made me float things, twist things, float myself in the air, and if I could do that, they would let me eat.
If I couldn¡¯t do it, they would beat me.
One time, I broke someone who beat me a lot, and they locked me in a dark ce and didn¡¯t give me anything to eat.
I won¡¯t make a mistake anymore.
I¡¯ll be a good girl.
So please let me eat.
Please don¡¯t hit me.
¨D¨DO Espie, our national treasure. From this day forth, you will be conferred as one of the Seven Heroes. In recognition of your recent heroism in single-handedly dealing a blow to the forces of the Damsel Commander Norja.
¨D¨DMy King. Am I¡.. good?
¨D¨DHmm. You are a good child. I think of you as a daughter. Do you understand? You should listen to what we say. Don¡¯t listen to people from other countries.
¨D¨DYes, I understand.
¨D¨D Always report information about other countries. They may let their guard down around a child like you and reveal important information. Also¡¡
¨D¨D?
¨D¨D If any of the other Seven Heroes are seriously wounded in battle, and there are no witnesses at the time¡ Kill Them.
¨D¨DEven though they¡¯re friends?
¨D¨D Not friends, but allies. When the war is over, they will be the next enemy. Is that clear? Our treasure, Espie. For the sake of this country¡¯s future, all you have to do is what we say.
I will do whatever you say.
I will do what you tell me to do.
¨D¨DHeya~, you¡¯re Espie! Nice to meetcha! I¡¯m Hiro!
¨D¨DHold on¡ how can they send a kid like this to go to war¡ if you need anything, count on us, okay? We¡¯re your friends.
They will be enemies one day, and I might even kill them, so we can¡¯t be friends.
¨D¨DSay, Espie¡ this girl here is Sadiz. Her mom and dad died¡ well, you¡¯re close in age, so why don¡¯t you be her friend? Oh, wai, Espie, don¡¯t ignore me~
The other Seven Heroes are not my friends.
And, Hiro and the others like little girls who are smaller than me¡ I don¡¯t care¡
¨D¨DEspie, I have an important mission for you. One of the Six Supremacy and Great Demon Generals of the Demon King Army¡¡ Assassinate the Titan God Gouda. This will determine the future fate of our nation. Failure is not an option. Seed no matter what. No Matter What.
Only the people from the same homnd¡ are my friends¡
¨D¨DIs that okay? What if Espie dies here¡
¨D¨DI understand. However,pared to the Seven Heroes and warriors of the Empire and Japone, our contributions are scant¡
¨D¨DThat¡¯s¡
¨D¨DEven with such risks, we need a great achievement. Otherwise, we will be asked to pay more money instead of more strength! In general, no matter how much Espie rampages, it is always overshadowed by the military exploits of the Empire¡¯s Hiro! This cannot go on! We desperately need achievements that the world will recognize!
But if I¡¯m no longer useful, I¡¯m no longer needed.
I need to do this properly¡
¡°Huh!? I¡.. uh¡¡±
It was a dream. When I opened my eyes, it was night. Was I sleeping?
My body hurts.
But, there were bandages on my body. It smells like medicine.
Did someone do this?
¡°Guh, cut the onions¡ argh, tears! And potatoes and carrots ¡ eh? Too big? And the onions are cut too much? I¡¯ve never cut vegetables before!¡±
It¡¯s noisy¡ ah¡ is someone cooking?
That man¡¡ I don¡¯t know who he is, but he helped me¡
He saved me. He¡¯s cooking right now. Who is he talking to?
¡°Light a fire ¡ I mean, if it¡¯s bit ss, I can use fire, so if I pick up branches from around here and burn them¡ huh? How to choose firewood? Thickness? Eehh? Why do you even care about that stuff?¡±
It¡¯s just, he¡¯s talking by himself.
¡°Err¡ this leaf is the ignition agent¡ a few dry twigs ¡ and ¡¾Bit Fire¡¿¡¡ oh, it¡¯s burning¡ is this a campfire? Hm~m¡¡ so, add some more twigs¡ when the fire gets bigger, add some more firewood¡¡±
Un, he¡¯s weird¡ I¡¯ve never done it before, but when I camped outside with the military men of my country, they did it more with speedy speed.
This man looks like he¡¯s doing it for the first time while someone is teaching him how¡
¡°Garam Mas¡ cardamom, coriander? This one¡ um, this and¡ turmeric, cumin¡ chili powder¡¡ I don¡¯t get it anymore¡ is this okay? It¡¯s kind of strange¡¡±
He¡¯s kind of slow¡ and clumsy¡
¡°So, put the pot here¡ throw in the chopped onions, and fry it until golden-brown ¡ what kind of color is golden-brown? Ah, something¡¯s sizzling! So, add some garlic¡ add the curry powder, stir fry until it alles together¡ and then add some potatoes or something¡ stir fry again so that it doesn¡¯t burn, keep stirring it ¡ uh, add some water¡ bring it to a boil¡¡ and what about the secret ingredient? Not yet? Timing? Hey, hey~, what¡¯s this color¡ sort of¡ yellow¡¡±
Watching¡ Squirming? Looking frustrated? Like a no-good person.
Before, he was so fast and was swinging around the enemies of the Demon King Army, but he couldn¡¯t do what all the grown-ups could do properly.
He¡¯s just a weird person.
But¡¡ it smells so good¡
¡°Leave it alone for now and¡ oh? Are you awake?¡±
¡°Fugu!?¡±
Ah, I opened my eyes, so he saw me¡
¡°Are you okay with your injuries?¡±
¡°¡¡ it hurts¡¡±
¡°I see¡ geez¡ but I¡¯m d that you¡¯re okay anyway.¡±
Why is he helping me?
Why does he look so worried about me?
Is he thinking of something bad?
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
My stomach was going ¡°Ku~¡± ¡ it¡¯s embarrassing¡¡
¡°Ah, you hungry?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Just wait a bit, I¡¯ll feed you something. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s good or not, but¡¡±
Will he let me eat a meal?
Then, he¡¯s going to let me eat and make me do something?
This man is not from the Union, not from Bethreal, what is he going to make me do?
¡°I¡ what should I do?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°After you let me eat¡ what am I going to do?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ be full¡¡ eat a lot and get better quickly¡¡±
¡°?¡±
I don¡¯t know what this man is talking about.
I¡¯m a weak, useless, unwanted child¡
¡°Ah~¡¡ well, anyway¡ hey, earlier¡ you thought about dying so easily¡ don¡¯t do that anymore¡¡±
¡°¡¡ why?¡±
¡°W, why¡ just¡ ah~, don¡¯t say things like that anymore¡ damn, really, in this era, in this world, really¡¡±
Why? I¡¯m not asking anything weird. He¡¯s the one saying weird things.
Why? Like I said something weird¡
¡°That¡ I also, I can¡¯t say it right, but¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Why? It was the same when he was running away. Why is this man patting my head so gently?
¡°Maybe you don¡¯t know anything because you¡¯re still a little kid, but¡ live and try to learn more things. Grow up and be stronger so that you can go anywhere¡ go out into the world and see the world by your own will, not by an order, not for the war, for you. It¡¯s such a waste to die¡ You¡¯ll realize what a small world you¡¯ve been in¡ you¡¯ll meet people that way¡ you can make friends too.¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°If you do that, you won¡¯t think about dying because you¡¯re not good enough¡ it will make you want to live and work harder to change your hopeless self¡¡±
Why? I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s saying right now.
Grow up? Be stronger? The world? A waste? Meet people?
¡°I¡ I don¡¯t know who my friends are.¡±
¡°That may be true now. But just by going out into a world you don¡¯t know¡ you can easily find good-natured friends you get along with surprisingly well, even though they are of different ages, countries, upbringings¡ or even species. But also ¡ if you don¡¯t live facing-forward¡¡ you may pass them by unnoticed.¡±
¡°You¡¯re looking forward, but you don¡¯t notice them?¡±
¡°Oh~, damn, that¡¯s what I meant¡ no, I can¡¯t say it right. That¡¯s a boomerang¡ well, even though she¡¯s such a kid, what can I do for one of the Seven Heroes¡ anyway! You should be more energetic! I know it¡¯s hard! I know I¡¯m ranting and raving with half-hearted sympathy, but still, kids shouldn¡¯t have that kind of look in their eyes!¡±
I don¡¯t understand. And he got angry. But it¡¯s strange.
¨D¨DDon¡¯t talk about dying so easily! If you live, you¡¯ll be able to make a frivolous face when you burst outughing, and you can even get a handsome boyfriend!
Come to think of it, he was angry in the forest too¡
¨D¨DI have no reason to abandon you, so it¡¯s okay!!
Even though he¡¯s so angry¡¡. it¡¯s not scary at all¡
¨D¨DBut don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a man who will eventually surpass that Hero. In other words, I dare to do what the Heroes can¡¯t do! That¡¯s why I¡¯ll definitely save you! Espie!
He said he would help me¡
¡°Oh, sorry, wait a minute! Right now, add in the secret ingredient ¡ I wonder if this will give it richness¡ oh¡¡ it¡¯s creamy¡ I¡¯m not sure about the color, but¡ I¡¯ll give it a taste¡ hmm!!??¡±
He scratched his head and continued to cook, but¡ umm¡ I don¡¯t understand what he said at all¡
¡°Uh, it¡¯s spicy¡ but¡ whoa, what is this! Oooooh, something, something in my body feels hot and invigorated¡ i, it¡¯s so good! What is this! Hey, Espie! Here, have a bite too!¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°Here, try it?¡±
He said that, and put something on the spoon¡ yellow creamy soup?
¡°What is this¡ it¡¯s kind o¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°That¡¯s what I thought too, but don¡¯t say it, taste this! Here you go!¡±
¡°Mmm!?¡±
I didn¡¯t like it because I thought it might be something dirty, but he put the spoon in my mouth and¡ huh!?
¡°Ha, hah, hah~!?¡±
¡°Eh, ah¡ was it too hot for a kid¡¯s tongue?¡±
¡°Hiii~, phew~, phew~¡¡±
¡°M, my bad my bad! Water right now¡ are you okay?¡±
¡°¡¡ un¡ un hmm¡¡±
Spicy! My head went bong, and it¡¯s so hot and tingly¡ but¡¡ it was the first time I¡¯ve ever eaten this¡ it¡¯s delicious¡¡
¡°Delicious¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh?¡±
¡°It¡¯s so delicious¡¡±
Even though it was only a bite, it was so delicious.
I¡¯ve never eaten anything like this¡ it¡¯s spicy, but¡ it¡¯s delicious¡¡ hot¡¡
¡°Well¡Kuhaha, no~, that¡¯s good. I did that too! All right, I¡¯ll let you eat a whole bunch!¡±
A little salty? Huh? Salty¡ Salty¡
¡°Hmm? Oh, hey, Espie¡ what¡¯s wrong? Was it too spicy? You¡¯re crying¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
Huh?
¡°¡¡ Higg, ugh, hig¡ ugh¡¡±
Why? I cry when they get mad at me, but¡ why do I cry, when someone is nice to me and feeds me good food?
¡°Hey? Are you okay? Huh?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Why? This man was patting my head again¡¡¡
¡°Uh, uh¡ UAAAAAAAN, AAAAAAAN, AAAAAAAAAAAAAN!¡±
¡°Whoa! Oh, hey, what¡¯s wrong, suddenly jumping at me¡ eh¡¡ Espie?¡±
¡°EEEEEEEEEHHH, ah, uaaaaaaaaaah, AAAAAAAAAAHHH!¡±
Why? I wanted this man to hug me¡ I want him to pat me more¡ I don¡¯t understand¡ it¡¯s so warm¡¡
Chapter 269: Ribbon
Chapter 269 ¨C Ribbon
Something ¡¡ strange happened to me¡
Truly, I wanted to send Espie back to the Union as soon as possible after some treatment, and say goodbye.
But the sobbing Espie would not leave me again since yesterday.
Espie slept with her hands and legs wrapped around my back, in close contact.
We had no choice but to camp out in the field, the two of us wrapped in a single cloak and sleeping in the forest.
¡°Fu~ah¡hmm~¡¡¡±
¡°Shupi~¡¡ un¡ ku~¡¡ mnyah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh dear, you¡¯re a big sleeper¡¡±
The moment I woke up, Espie was lying on my chest, sleeping like a log.
Her eyes were swollen with tears, but her expression was as peaceful as her exhaustion.
And¡.. it¡¯s still a little dark¡ did I wake up too early?
¡ºAre you awake? Did you have trouble sleeping with the weight on you?¡»
¡°Eh? Oh¡¡ well, I got used to this kind of thing with Amae.¡±
¡ºI see.¡»
After waking up in the morning, Tre¡¯ainar and I exchanged wry smiles.
Who could have imagined that the kid clinging to me now, sleeping like this, would be my father¡¯srade-in-arms and one of the Seven Heroes, once the natural enemies of the Demon King¡¯s Army, like Tre¡¯ainar?
¡ºThough they are the Seven Heroes, children are still children¡ well, that is¡ Hiro of this era is the same.¡»
I nodded at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
To be honest, I don¡¯t know much about Espie¡¯s past.
I only heard roughly what the adults who were around Espie had said.
But, that alone made me think that I couldn¡¯t turn a blind eye to this girl¡
¡ºPut that aside, child. Sit up and take a deep breath.¡»
¡°Hmm? A review of yesterday¡¯s radar?¡±
¡ºNo, just simply¡ go out into the forest for a moment and breathe in the slightly colder air of this wilderness. Right now, there are no Allied forces or Demon King¡¯s Army around.¡»
¡°?¡±
Somehow Tre¡¯ainar had a slightly scheming face.
I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking, but if Tre¡¯ainar said so, I tried to gently untangle Espie¡¯s limbs from my body so as not to wake her¡
¡°Oh, like this¡ and, I slipped out¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Huh!? Hiuh!?
¡°Whoa!?¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
Espie, whose body was suddenly startled, opened her eyes and looked at me with big crackling blinks.
As expected of the Seven Heroes.
Did she detect even the slightest sign?
¡°¡¡ Yo, yo, good morning.¡±
¡°¡¡ Good morning.¡±
¡°Did you sleep well?¡±
¡°¡¡ yes, I slept.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
¡°¡¡ un¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
Ah? I was halfway through untangling her limbs, but she wrapped herself around me again?
¡°¡¡ Let¡¯s get up, shall we?¡±
¡°¡¡ un¡¡±
No, even though she looked a little sullen¡ this girl, how could she let her guard down so much with me in one night?
Is she so easily spoiled by something like that¡ no, not really¡
On the contrary. ¡°I¡¯m not used to receiving affection from people to the point where my heart is shaken by something like that.¡±
Even though I have aplex about my parents, I have been blessed in some way, and I have been pampered by Sadiz.
I talked about it a little bit yesterday, but¡ I¡¯m a little embarrassed about it¡
¡ºMy oh my, no other choice then. Tis about time, you two should go outside for a while.¡»
Sighing at us, Tre¡¯ainar said again.
I don¡¯t know what he means, but for now¡
¡°Come on, let¡¯s go for a walk.¡±
¡°Hmm? Un¡¡ okay¡¡±
Espie was a little grumpy, but when I asked her to join me, she obediently followed me side by side.
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°That¡¡¡¡±
How unfortunate. I don¡¯t know what kind of conversation to have.
Besides, I don¡¯t want to get too involved either~¡¡ or preach like I¡¯m a snob, first of all, as soon as her injuries are okay, I¡¯ll go back to the previous time using the watch.
And besides, Espie has been ncing my way for a while now¡
¡°Hmm? Oh¡¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
At that moment, we had left the forest and there was a valley in front of us, and below us was anotherrge forest, and beyond that, we could see mountains.
But from beyond those mountains¡
¡°Amazing¡¡±
¡°Wow¡¡±
The blinding light of the sun¡ it¡¯s sunrise¡
It¡¯s a little cold, but as I breathe in this clear natural air, I feel fresh, as if my body is being cleansed from the inside out.
My half-asleep body immediately wakes up.
I start to calm down, even though my mood has been a bitplicated, thinking about what has happened in the past, the war, Espie¡¯s past, and most of all, what my father and mother are doing.
¡°Hey, Espie. How¡¯s that?¡±
¡°¡¡ but I see them all the time, when I camp out on the battlefield¡¡±
¡°R, really¡¡±
¡°Un, I always see it clearly¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Today, more than usual, is¡ very good¡ I think.¡±
Espie turned away in a huff, giving a not-so-honest but not bad reaction.
And¡¡
¡°Hey. Name¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°What¡¯s your name? Tell me.¡±¡±
Name¡¡e to think of it, I left a lot of things out yesterday.
But I can¡¯t call myself ¡°Earth Lagann¡±¡
¡ºTis so, child.¡»
¡¸Hmm? What¡¯s that, Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºSpeaking of names¡ did you not receive a forged identity card from Paripi?¡»
¡¸¡¡ ah!¡¹
That¡¯s true.
The one I got with the Master Key.
I put it in a small box in my pocket¡
¡°Let¡¯s see¡¡±
¡°?¡±
I fumbled around in my pocket.
When I opened the small box, inside was a ribbon tied to the box and a folded ID card.
There¡¡
¡ªTapil Bael
This is some¡ rejected. I don¡¯t like it. I put the ID card back in the box.
¡°?¡±
Espie tilted his head curiously, but give me a break.
I mean,e up with a cooler name!
What¡¯s with this name?
More this~¡¡ Schneider or Grand Cross¡
¡°Hey, your name?¡±
¡°Oh~¡¡ I can¡¯t tell you¡ well, call me whatever you want.¡±
¡°¡¡ what¡¯s that? I don¡¯t know what that means.¡±
¡°I mean, just~ it doesn¡¯t matter, what my name is.¡±
Well, it¡¯s not worth worrying about.
Espie seemed to be okay, and I¡¯m going back to the future soon.
Then, just as a cold morning breeze blew, Espie¡¯s long hair fell in a mess over her face.
As if to distract from the conversation, I reached for Espie¡¯s disheveled hair¡
¡°Wapp¡¡±
¡°Aaah, your hair is so long¡ here, I¡¯ll give you this, just tie it up a little bit.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
The white ribbon tied around the small box sent by Paripi.
There¡¯s no point in wrapping it around the box again, it¡¯s just something I can throw away.
¡°Huh? Th, this kind of¡ if you give me this, what are you going to do?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°For helping me, for feeding me¡ for sleeping with me¡ until now¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re overreacting! It¡¯s not that big of a deal, and I have no use for it, so I¡¯m just giving it to you. It¡¯s a present, a present.¡±
¡°¡¡ present¡¡±
¡°Here.¡±
I didn¡¯t expect a single cheap ribbon to cause such a reaction.
I had never experienced anything like this.
Then, Espie received the ribbon from me while trembling a little, and her eyes got wet, huh?
¡°A present¡ for the first time¡¡±
¡°R, really?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve never had a ribbon before¡¡±
¡°I see¡ ah, but you don¡¯t know how to tie a knot, do you?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never done it, but¡ Mamu always ties her hair¡ like this, and this¡¡±
At that moment, I thought, ¡°Ah¡±.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡ Espie of the future, had a tattered ribbon, but¡¡¹
¡ºSo this is why¡¡»
But it was the ribbon Paripi had used to tie up the small box. It wasn¡¯t a ribbon meant for tying hair.
But no way, she had been using it all this time¡
¡°¡¡ H, how is it? Is it cute like Mamu?¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, aren¡¯t you cuter than Mamu?¡±
Espie blushed a little and whirled around on the spot.
It was only for a moment, but I saw a smile on Espie¡¯s lips for the first time.
And¡¡
¡°¡¡ nk¡¡ yo¡ bi¡¡ th¡¡ er¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°Th¡ Thank you¡¡ Big brother¡¡±
¡°Eh, kuhaha! Sure!¡±
That¡¯s what you called me¡ but, did you get a little closer to that future Espie¡¯s smile?
And I think she will be okay now.
¡°Well, it looks like you¡¯re going to be okay¡ and can you make it back to the Allied Forces from here? I have to get going, too.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
What?! Suddenly, Espie turned to me with a look that seemed to be filled with desperation.
¡°G, going¡ w, where?¡±
¡°Oh. No, I also erm, I have to go home¡¡±
¡°¡¡ together¡¡ let¡¯s go to the Allied forces.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°B, big brother is strong¡ together¡¡ to, gether¡¡±
¡°No, I can¡¯t do that!¡±
Oh no, Espie almost cried as she pinched the hem of my clothes with her fingers.
No, I couldn¡¯t go to the Allied Forces if I was recruited like that.
In more ways than one.
¡°¡¡ then¡¡ I¡¯ll go with you¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°I failed my mission¡ I don¡¯t want to go back anymore¡¡±
No, no, no, that¡¯s even worse.
¡ºNuh, Nuu¡¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar seemed very concerned, as expected.
I mean, I¡¯m going back to the future.
¡°I, I failed the mission, but I¡¯ll do my best and be useful¡ and be stronger¡¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not the problem¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be a good girl and listen to what you say¡ so¡¡ take me with you¡¡±
No way, this is the second time this has happened recently.
I didn¡¯t expect a little girl to go this far¡ this already happened with Amae¡
¡°Espie, you know¨C¡°
But, as might be expected, this is no good.
Espie is one of the Seven Heroes, a champion who will y an active role in the future war.
If she were to disappear at this point, there¡¯s no telling what effect it would have on history.
No matter what happens, she must return to the Allied Forces¡ to my father¡
¡º¡¡ Hmm? Oi, child! The other pocket¡¡ the one with the watch!¡»
Hmm? At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to notice something and spoke up. Pocket? Watch?
I took the watch out of my pocket and¡
¡°Hmm? Wh, what is this? Is the watch shing?¡±
¡°?¡±
The clock face was flickering. I¡¯ve never seen a reaction like that, even though I didn¡¯t do anything.
Don¡¯t tell me something strange is happening again?
Wait a minute, what¡¯s going to happen with an object that can go to the past or to the future?
¨D¨D¨D Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
Suddenly, a ringing sound came from the watch¡
[Please Charge]
¡°Huh? ch, charge?¡±
¡°Huh? Did the watch talk¡?¡±
[Please Charge]
¡°Nu, nu?¡±
The clock said something iprehensible.
But without knowing what it meant after all, the watch kept repeating the same words, and then it went silent.
Chapter 270: Route of the Journey
Happy Eid-ul Mubarak to all my Muslim Readers! May our Ramadan Prayers Bear Fruit!
Chapter 270 ¨C Route of the Journey
All I had to do was press a button on the pocket watch and it would light up and move in a variety of ways.
But now, no matter how many buttons I press, no matter how much I try to shake it up and down, or tap it lightly, nothing changes.
¡°N, no way¡¡±
¡°?¡±
Espie tilted her head curiously. That¡¯s how worked up I am right now.
For some reason, this was the era before I was born.
I didn¡¯t know the principle, but this watch brought me to this time period.
But, this watch was nowpletely silent.
¡°I, is it broken¡?¡±
If this were just a watch, it would be okay.
But it wasn¡¯t just a watch.
If this watch is broken, then I¡
¡°H, how, do I go back noooooooooooow!!??¡±
¡°Big brother?¡±
Hey, wait! I can¡¯t go back?! Then, what do I do, what will happen?
Will I never be able to go home for the rest of my life?
Wait a minute, that¡¯s on the level of being really bad or something¡
¡°I see¡ I understand now¡ tis why the future Espie said to head for the Ruins of Shiznautmy.''¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah?¡±
At that moment, beside me who was panicking, Tre¡¯ainar had a calm expression on his face, as if he had understood something.
¡ºThis watch¡ perhaps it must be powered not by magic, but some other form of energy. It must be rted to the technology of the ancients.¡»
¡¸¡¡ is that right¡?¡¹
¡ºTis why Espie¡¯s idea of heading for the ¡®ruins of Shiznautmy¡¯, is indicative of the Shiznautmy of this era.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºAt the time Gouda was skirmishing on the frontiers of the Empire¡ I had already destroyed the City of Sorcery by then.¡»
¡¸I¡ I see¡¡ that means¡¡¹
¡ºThe future Espie expected this to happen. The only way to operate the watch is to use the technology found in the ruins of Shiznautmy. And to make that journey¡ she intended you be apanied by the Espie of this era.¡»
¡¸¡¡ wh, what!?¡¹
Hearing that, I thought back to my conversation with the Future Espie.
Surely, that¡¯s what she was talking about.
¨D¨DHold on to it¡ I want you to go to Shiznautmy with ¡®me¡¯ and ¡®yer¡¯. I know it¡¯s selfish of me. But that¡¯s what we want.
¨D¨DYoung man, we wanted to meet you and travel to Shiznautmy with you¡ that¡¯s our wish. We don¡¯t know anything about it¡ please guide us.
I see¡that¡¯s what she meant¡ tte!
¡°tte, yer was there!¡±
¡°Suleya! Hey, is something wrong, big brother?¡±
And worst of all, taking Espie with me?
Ridiculous. Espie is one of the Seven Heroes, right?
One of the strongest forces of the Allied forces, right?
We¡¯re in the middle of a war right now though¡
¡ºHowever, Espie herself has no desire to return¡ she insists on apanying you¡ I suppose tis what it is. For a certain period of time, you must have had a history of working with Espie¡¡»
¡¸B, but, one of the Seven Heroes did something like that on her own¡¡¹
¡ºHonestly, I have not received any reports about Espie¡¯s absence during the war¡ if that is the case, the Allied Forces, who did not want to give such reports to humanity or the Demon King¡¯s Army, had been hiding the reports for some time¡¡»
In other words, from now on, I have to take this Espie with me across the sea again to go to Shiznautmy.
Moreover, with yer, who I haven¡¯t met yet¡
¡°Hey, don¡¯t ignore me¡ hey¡¡ did I¡.. do something wrong? ¡¡ do¡¡ do you hate me¡?¡±
¡°Huh?! Ah, no¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡ I¡¯ll fix what I did wrong¡ I¡¯ll fix it¡¡±
Ah, Espie, who I had neglected for a while, was tearing up and pulling my clothes.
Geez¡
¡°Ah~, no¡ I have a lot of things on my mind¡ well, that¡¯s all.¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°Well¡ would you like toe with me for a while?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
I¡¯m not sure how much turmoil and shock this will actually cause the Allied Forces, or if I¡¯ll possibly be hunted by the Allied Forces. Even though I¡¯m worried about that, for the time being, it seems that I have no choice but to act together ording to the words of the future Espie.
¡°Unh!!!!¡±
And, at my words, Espie jumped at me.
¡°Big brother, I¡¯ll help you a lot¡ I¡¯ll even rub your shoulders or something!¡±
¡°Oh, I see¡¡±
¡°Un!¡±
Unlike yesterday¡¯s doll-like appearance, she was smiling, smiling, smiling, and seemed to be overflowing with all the emotions she had been holding back or storing up until now.
¡°Alright, Espie. From now on we¡¯re going to another continent¡ so the war here is already¡¡±
¡°Un, it¡¯s fine! I don¡¯t care about the war! I¡¯m going with big brother, so I don¡¯t care anymore!¡±
¡°I, I see¡¡±
Yeah whatever¡ well, if your age is still in the single digits, this should be fine.
I acted spoiled with Sadiz when I was like this¡
¡¸So, Tre¡¯ainar. We¡¯re heading across the ocean again¡ but what about the war on this side? As I recall, Gouda of the Six Supremacy is here, right?¡¹
¡ºHmm? Ah, tis no problem. In the past, Gouda would have seized part of the Empire¡¯s territory, but he should have immediately engaged the army of the Seven Heroes and retreated.¡»
¡¸With His Majesty? Oh, is that so?¡¹
¡ºUh huh, it was a sort of diversion, and I gave orders not to invade too deeply.¡»
¡¸I see¡ but, even though the Seven Heroes and the Six Supremacy have fought, it was such a trivial feeling¡¡¹
¡ºTis not unusual, the war between demons and humans was a cycle of taking and retaking territory. The Six Supremacy and the Seven Heroes have fought each other many times. It seems that the people of Bethreal were attempting something rather premature¡¡»
Anyway, before I left, I was relieved to find that it did not appear that ¡°history had changed because Espie was not there¡±.
¡°Now¡ in that case, we¡¯ll go by boat¡¡±
¡°Un un!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ hmm?¡±
Ah? We¡¯re going by boat, but¡ I¡ how much money do I have right now?
I mean, is the currency different?
¡ºThe currency has not changed, however¡ you have used up almost all the funds at the equipment store¡¡»
¡¸Geh!?¡¹
¡ºI see¡ the travel expenses¡¡»
I was nning on a survival lifestyle for a while¡
So, when I fished in my pocket again, I only found a little money¡ I can¡¯t get on the ship with this.
¡°Big brother, do you have any money?¡±
¡°Huh? Oh, um¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have any either¡ if I was stronger, I could carry big brother and fly like pew¡ but I¡¯m¡¡ still useless¡ guss¡¡±
¡°N, no, no, kids shouldn¡¯t care about money!¡±
I quickly put the money back in my pocket. I can¡¯t let Espie look apologetic about money.
I have to do something.
If this happens¡ will I work again?
¡ºHmm? Wait¡¡ certainly, at this time of year¡ moreover¡¡ this region¡¡»
And it was then.
¡ºAh! I see¡ that is to say¡ ah, indeed¡ to my understanding¡ is that what it is! ¡®That event¡¯ took ce as scheduled, even during the war¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar muttered something with a surprised expression as if he had realized something.
¡ºOi, child. Let us take a different route across the sea from the future.¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
¡ºIf you go straight south from here, you will find arge city. It will take you about three days to reach on foot. Tis a city called Weinz, and tis not in embroiled in the war, so tis peaceful.¡»
¡¸Weinz? Oh, I¡¯ve been there when I was a kid¡ is that right? But even if I go there, I don¡¯t have any money, so the ship¡¡¹
¡ºTis fine. While there, you will find prospects.¡»
¡¸Eh?!¡¹
An unexpected suggestion from Tre¡¯ainar.
No way, prospects?
¡¸Ah, I see¡¡¹
Then I realized something.
I have an ID now, even if it¡¯s a forgery.
That means I¡¯ll be able to do things I couldn¡¯t do before.
¡¸As a Hunter.¡¹
¡ºHmm? Oh, not what I meant.¡»
¡¸Eh¡?¡¹
I thought I was going to be a Hunter and hunt monsters or something¡
¡ºFufufu, if you go to a city of a reasonable scale, you will find that¡¡»
¡¸That?¡¹
¡ºOi, child¡do you know of the ¡®off-street ticket office¡¯?¡»
Then, a very unexpected sentence came out of Tre¡¯ainar with a smug face.
Chapter 271: The Great Demon King’s Partner
Patreon Sponsored Chapter! A bitte, but Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!!
Chapter 271 ¨C The Great Demon King¡¯s Partner
¡°The final race, the Imperial Derby¡ with a trifecta of No. 5 Fuka Impact, No. 8 Auto Trimi, and No. 11 Seventh Sense¡¡±
¡°Ai, the trifecta it is.¡±
I managed to buy it. I¡¯ve never bought a horse race ticket in my life.
I thought it would require an ID, but it went smoothly, didn¡¯t it?
¡¸Sure enough, horse racing¡ even though one of the Six Supremacy is on the offensive, soid back¡¡¹
¡ºHorse racing¡ let alone the Derby, is one of the long-standing cultures. Canceling such an event on the grounds of war would stir up anxiety and a sense of crisis among the popce. If nothing else, these forms of entertainment are a respite for the masses, so they cannot be canceled unless there is a serious problem.¡»
¡¸Heh¡¡¹
I don¡¯t know much about horse racing. But even I know about the annual Imperial Derby.
A venerable race held near the Imperial Capital to determine the most feared horse of the generation.
The race is broadcast throughout the Empire and, depending on the location, to other countries as well.
In therge city of Weinz in the southern part of the Empire where we are now, there are ces where you can buy betting tickets, and ces where the race is broadcast through magic crystals, albeit ¡°audio only¡±.
¡°Big brother, what are you doing?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t need to know, Espie. Grow up pure and innocent.¡±
¡°Are you betting on horses?¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t need to know¡ understand?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard that Kojirou likes that kind of thing¡¡±
¡°I-I see, well, never mind. I¡¯ll buy you some juiceter. Also¡¡ maybe I should buy some clothes for you too.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
But, I never thought I woulde to a ce like this with a little kid who was not even ten years old.
If Sadiz and my mother were to find out about this, I think they would be very furious¡
¡°Hey, buddy, what is this~ Fuka Impact? Ah, the horse that debuted in the middle and won a couple of races the other day¡ but I dare say you¡¯re going for a long shot to win a triple with a horse like that.¡±
¡°I mean, don¡¯t take a littledy like that to a ce like this~¡±
¡°This is a fire pit. A ce where men y, so to speak!¡±
Even so, the fishermen at the fishing port were pretty lively guys, but the guys here ¡ the smell of alcohol in the middle of the day¡ isn¡¯t this too rxed even though they¡¯re in the middle of a war?
¡°¡¡ Big brother, these people are making fun of you¡ Big brother, who is strong and kind¡ hey, can I beat them up?¡±
¡°Stop! You don¡¯t have to get involved¡¡±
Anyway, I came to such a bad ce for children¡¯s education just for money.
Earning travel money by gambling may seem like the beginnings of low-life, but I had a reason to gamble.
That¡¯s because we know from the beginning that we can win for sure, so this is no longer a gamble.
¡¸Then~ again~, no matter how much of a hobby it is, don¡¯te to the Surface World just for the race horses. If it exists in the Demon Realm, just bear with it.¡¹
¡ºOn the contrary, after learning that my horse was the fastest in history, I could not bear the world to remain ignorant. Moreover, if there was a race on the Surface called the Derby, I wanted the people of the Surface to be aware of it.¡»
¡¸Is that so?¡¹
¡ºUh huh, tis harder to be a Derby horse owner than it is to be a Demon King or a Hero¡ there has been such a saying in horse racing since time immemorial. Much less the fastest horse I have personally bred. I wanted to give him the crown¡ no matter if it was on the Surface or in the Demon Realm.¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, a slightly nostalgic expression from the past.
I guess he¡¯s thinking of hisrades-in-arms.
Yes, Tre¡¯ainar, who is currently alive in this era, hides his identity and participates in the Imperial Derby with his beloved horse.
And Tre¡¯ainar already knows the oue. Because he has experienced it in the past.
Therefore, he knows which ticket to buy.
[Now, the Imperial Derby. The 18-horse race begins at the full gate. Which horse will stand at the head of the thoroughbreds? All the horses have now started! Auto Trimi is off to a good start! Oops, one horse iste. Fuka Impact, has failed to start. The unidentified duo with a pacifier and masked jockey Taketoyo, failed to start and fell far behind.]
Oh, no? Ate start? But Tre¡¯ainar next to me is smiling with his nose. Ah, maybe this is¡ on purpose¡ this is a leeway¡
¡°Hey, big brother, the horse you paid for iste¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. Anyway, juice and¡ hey, why don¡¯t we have some cake?¡±
¡°Huh? But money¡¡±
¡°Like~ I said~, don¡¯t worry about that.¡±
I can¡¯t see the spectacle of the race, I can only hear thementators, but everyone here who bought tickets was frenzied with joy and sorrow.
Some of them probably bet a lot of money, so they must be very excited.
Even I bet all the money I have right now, even though it¡¯s not much.
If this were really a gamble based on luck, even I wouldn¡¯t be so rxed.
I already knew the oue from the beginning.
I mean, rather¡
¡¸Beyond this magic crystal¡ is you while you were alive¡¡¹
¡ºHmm? Hmm¡¡»
¡¸I wish I could have met you¡¡¹
During Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s lifetime. Unless something like this happens, I will never see him again.
When I thought about it, I felt a little disappointed¡ but¡¡
¡ºHmph. Bear with the me after death.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Phuh¡¡¹
¡ºWh, what are youughing at!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar with a slightly stuffy expression¡ what? Are you jealous? Of yourself? It was kind of funny.
¡ºHmph, no need to worry about that, now listen to the sess of my former beloved horse that I raised with great care.¡»
¡¸Oh, I know¡ you¡¯rete¡ but that¡¯s on purpose, isn¡¯t it?¡¹
¡ºFufufu, just running and winning would be boring. I knew it just by looking at the other horses in the paddock. They were no match for Fuka Impact. So I wanted to shock the Surface world with the way we win.¡»
He had a lot of confidence in his horse, and he must have been even more attached to it.
I mean, a horse that Tre¡¯ainar trained himself¡ huh? If so¡¡
¡¸That Fuka Impact might be my sibling disciple in a way¡¡¹
¡ºNu? Hmm¡¡»
It¡¯s a joke, but it might not be wrong.
But Tre¡¯ainar thought about my joke for a moment and then¡
¡ºNo, Fuka Impact was indeed raised by me, but¡ tis not my disciple. Together we ran through as the wind¡ myrade in arms¡¡ my partner. And the other horses too, of course.¡»
Partner. It was the first time Tre¡¯ainar had ever said such a thing.
It was a word that made one feel special, different from when he spoke of his former subordinates, the Six Supremacy, and different from me¡ special¡¡
¡ºYou are my only disciple.¡»
¡¸Oh, oh¡ I see¡¡¹
¡ºMm hmm, tis so.¡»
Bebe, don¡¯t be jealous of a horse! I, I¡¯ve been with Tre¡¯ainar for a long time~, what am I thinking?
[In first ce is still Auto Trimi, followed by Seventh Sense! Herees the straight! The crowd is going wild! The final stretch, and the whips areing down hard! But the duel for first ce is between Auto Trimi and Seventh Sense!]
Was it already that far before I realized it?
It seems that even a single race doesn¡¯tst that long.
It¡¯s only been a few minutes since it started, but it¡¯s already thest stretch.
[Ooooh, what¡¯s that jet-ck winding from behind? No, what is that? The one steadily catching up from the tail end is ¡ more like flying than running!]
He¡¯s here.
I can¡¯t see him, but I can feel his presence.
Beyond this magic crystal, Tre¡¯ainar of this world is running through with his partner.
¡ºYes, a legend condensed into a mere few minutes¡ engrave!! Impact, roar through to posterity!¡»
I stood up for this moment and watched in silence.
[That ck wind that flew in ¡ its Fuka Impact! Now, overtaking the group¡ the two leading horses¡ ah, the jockey on the saddle, Taketoyo, is not cracking the whip! But the stretch, the stretch!]
The old men who were listening to the race around the ticket office began to roar.
What the hell is going on in the race?
¡°Ah, hey, Big brother! The horse you bought, hey, big brother!¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Are you going to win? Are you going to win? Are you going to win!?¡±
¡°Espie¡ choose the juice and cake.¡±
I just bought a ticket for Fuka Impact, and theyughed at me.
A horse that was so unknown took humanity by surprise in the historic Imperial Derby.
[And the crowds are off their feet! Such speed, such strength, such wind! What a horse! Fuka Impact, now in first ce, crosses the finish line! A Derby victory by a foreign-bred horse, not an Imperial-bred horse! And he sets a race record, breaking all previous records! As the name suggests, it made a tremendous impact on our hearts! The jockey on the saddle, Taketoyo, now strikes a small guts pose.]
The impact was overwhelming.
The old men around me also had their mouths agape, and a lot of lottery tickets had fallen to the ground.
¡°Y, you did it! Big brother, it¡¯s amazing! Big brother is amazing!¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
The 2nd and 3rd ces are perfect.
Espie hugged me excitedly.
When this happens, I feel good too.
¡¸Your partner, so awesome.¡¹
¡ºHmm¡¡»
Even though Tre¡¯ainar already knew the result, he crossed his arms and made a satisfied, smug face.
I heard there was such an amazing horse.
On that note, what¡¯s the current status of this record? Has it been broken yet? I¡¯ll look it up when I get back.
And this horse, then¡
¡º¡¡ I know not what happened afterward.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºWhat happened after my death? Was it disposed of? Even if not, considering the lifespan of a horse ¡ at least¡¡ if only it left behind any offspring¡¡»
I suddenly asked, ¡®What¡¯s going to happen to this horse now?¡¯ and Tre¡¯ainar mumbled to himself.
Tre¡¯ainar looked a little sad, and I was also heartbroken¡
¡ºHmph, quickly im your winnings, go shopping, and take care of Espie¡¯s mood. However, in the interest of the survival life, I will not allow the luxury inn to be used for the time being.¡»
¡¸Oh, I know! I¡¯m going to have curry again today!¡¹
¡ºHmm!¡»
Weughed, covering up the slightly sad atmosphere.
Chapter 272: Blown Away
Chapter 272 ¨C Blown Away
¡°Hawa~¡¡¡±
I thought kids¡¯ eyes could shine so brightly.
They were so sparkling.
¡°Here you go, eat up.¡±
¡°Huh? Uo, eh¡¡±
Espie hesitated in confusion even though I thought she should eat without worrying.
¡°B, big brother¡ m, may I eat it?¡±
¡°Please eat.¡±
Why, the politenguage?
At a cake shop in the city.
In front of my eyes, Espie¡¯s small body shrank even more due to the tension.
I didn¡¯t expect her to go this far just to have some cake¡
¡°Come on, don¡¯t hold back.¡±
¡°Oh, okay¡ ah, so soft¡ fluffy¡¡ u~¡. ahm~¡¡ Mmmmmmmmm!¡±
Trembling and wobbling, she cut the cake with a fork and put it timidly in her mouth.
The next moment, Espie¡¯s whole body jumped in shock, and her expression blossomed.
¡°Uh~¡¡ sweet~, yummy!¡±
Espie, who had been doll-like until a few days ago, now stuffed her mouth with strawberry shortcake with a wide smile that almost fell off her cheeks.
¡°Big brother, this is so yummy!¡±
¡°Oh! Eat as much as you want. Do you want some chocte too?¡±
¡°Eh, can I!? Un!¡±
She gobbled up the cake and drank the juice¡ won¡¯t your teeth hurt~? While thinking that, I was relieved to see Espie eating sweet treats like a happy child.
I thought she should alwaysugh like that.
¡°Have you never eaten cake?¡±
¡°Un! I only eat hard meat to strengthen my jaw and medicinal drinks.¡±
¡°I, I see¡ ah, excuse me. I¡¯d like to ce another order¡¡±
¡°Eh, can I have some more?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, have as much as you want.¡±
¡°Aaaahh!!¡±
Unexpectedly, her painful past almost brought tears to my eyes.
Then Espie poked the piece of cake with a fork and held it out to me.
¡°You eat too, big brother!¡±
¡°Huh? Oh, big brother is not really¡¡±
¡°No! I¡¯m not the only one¡ I want to eat with big brother! So, ah~mm!¡±
Apparently, she was a little worried about eating alone.
Well, since Espie was perplexed by eating Curry and being given a cheap ribbon, she might be worried about the current situation of being the ¡°only one who is eating¡±.
¡°Oh~, geez¡ Ahm, hmm. Yummy¡±
¡°Unfu~! Right? This is the second best thing I¡¯ve ever eaten.¡±
¡°Haha, you¡¯re exaggerating¡ huh, second best?¡±
¡°Un. The best is the Curry big brother made for me!¡±
¡°R, really¡¡±
I feel embarrassed when you say that.
Incidentally, that night in the dream world, I received a general review of my first Curry from Tre¡¯ainar, but he said, ¡°Your understanding of the essence of spices iscking¡±.
But, he was so pleased.
It made me want to work harder to make it better.
¡ºFor that, you need only practice.¡»
¡¸Okey-dokey!¡¹
¡ºAnd now that our military funds have increased, gear ¡ it might benefit you to have more items and camping equipment.¡»
¡¸Ah, but¡ still, isn¡¯t this much a bit too much¡¡¹
Yes, just as Tre¡¯ainar said, the military funds have increased a lot.
There were so many cloth bags stuffed with bread buns that I couldn¡¯t hold them all with both hands.
I could probably live on this stuff for the rest of my life¡
¡ºThere is no need to carry everything. You can use the depository. If you be a Hunter, you need not even pay a fee.¡»
¡¸¡¡ I see¡¡ either way, I have to register¡¡¹
¡ºWell, I suppose so¡ Mr. Tapil Bael.¡»
¡¸Hmm¡ HEY!¡¹
¡ºHmm~? Is something wrong? Mr. Tapil Bael?¡»
¡¸Stop that!¡¹
A grinning Tre¡¯ainar teased me.
Damn, do I really have to register under such a name?
If possible, I¡¯d like a cooler name, but¡
¡°Hey, did you hear? The Gouda forces of the Demon King Army have retreated!¡±
¡°Oh, as expected of Prince Solja! It seems that they didn¡¯t get Gouda, but with this, the Demon King¡¯s Army won¡¯t attack for a while!¡±
¡°Prince Solja, Hiro, Mamu, Ryvar, Benlinerve, our Empire has five of the Seven Heroes!¡±
All around us, information about the war during this time flowed, and the whole city was suddenly filled with joy and noise.
¡°¡¡¡¡ they won¡¡±
¡°Espie? Does it bother you?¡±
¡°¡¡ Nu-un. Really. I¡¯m traveling with big brother, so I don¡¯t care.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
I could tell from Espie¡¯s abrupt expression that was lying just a little bit.
I guess it¡¯s not like she¡¯s saying ¡°I don¡¯t care at all¡±.
But she can¡¯t just ¡°go home¡± from here.
¡°Okay, now that we¡¯re done eating, let¡¯s go get you some clothes, okay?¡±
¡°Uh¡ Clothes!? ¡¡ Gusu¡¡ Thank you¡¡ big brother¡¡ I¡¯m the happiest I¡¯ve ever been since I was born¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why, don¡¯t exaggerate.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not exaggerating!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, geez¡¡±
Damn, saying such cute things.
In about fifteen years, she will say something about ¡°beating up¡± this beloved brother, so the passage of time is cruel.
No, or rather, the word ¡°beat up¡± has a different meaning considering this situation¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°The economy must be good, onii-san, this one~ is getting envious.¡±
¡°¡±?¡±¡±
¡°And to show such tender care to little girls. The heavens grant luck to such children, don¡¯t they¡¡±
To whom? Are you talking to me? I turned around to hear a voice behind me and saw someone standing at the entrance of the cake shop.
A cloak covering his whole body and a mask made of straw on his head?
And at his waist he was carrying two stick-like objects, one long and one short, wrapped in a pouch.
¡°This one also bought a ticket, for the horse race earlier, and then it was a flop~¡¡ No~, horses are~ difficult~¡±
He has a pretty good physique.
I mean, the pouches on his waist¡ is that¡ a sword?
¡ºA Komuso tengai¡ long and short swords¡¡ a Samurai of Japone? Yet still, this man¡ even considering the way he walks¡ has good posture from the top of his head to his toes¡ furthermore, this voice¡¡»
¡¸?¡¹
Oh? Did Tre¡¯ainar get uneasy about him for some reason?
No, I¡¯m also suspicious of this man? I know he¡¯s no ordinary man, but¡
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
At that moment, Espie¡¯s expression clouded over.
Then she got off her chair, hid behind my back, and grabbed my clothes tightly.
¡°This one would like you to buy me a cake, too.¡±
¡°Hmm? Nuh?¡±
¡°For sweets, the dumplings from my hometown are the best, but I can¡¯t throw away the cakes from the Empire either.¡±
The mysterious man, without paying any attention to Espie¡¯s state, took the liberty of sitting in the chair that Espie had left when she got up.
What¡¯s more, he asked for some cake?
And then¡¡
¡°Well¡ heard you were missing¡ for now, I¡¯m d you¡¯re safe. Espie-jou.¡±
¡°Ugh¡ Ugh¡¡±
¡°For someone who was captured by the Demon King¡¯s Army¡ it doesn¡¯t look like you¡¯re being held by some kind of dangerous guy, but¡ what are you doing ~? Everyone¡¯s worried, aren¡¯t they?¡±
An acquaintance of Espie¡¯s? A swordsman from Japone? The Allied Forces?
What the hell is this guy¡
¡°I won¡¯t go back¡¡±
¡°Oyaoya¡ that¡¯s a problem.¡±
The man also let out a sigh of annoyance at the words Espie uttered while shaking with fright.
¡°Yes, it¡¯s really troublesome. If I report this¡ won¡¯t it be obvious that this one skipped work and sneaked out to y? Mikado Gee-san would be furious. However, they would be angry if they were to learn that I had found a missingrade and left them behind. But if I report this and Espie-jou is taken back¡ thedy will cry¡ and be punished¡ yadanee¡ if thedy wants to go on like this, I¡¯d like to make it happen~¡ but hey¡¡±
He continued to mumble to himself while holding his head, but judging by the content, there was no doubt that he was a member of the Allied Forces.
And from this attitude towards Espie, he had a fairly high rank ¡¡
¡°What? Isn¡¯t this a troubling situation?¡±
¡°¡¡ ah?¡±
¡°And finally, even though he¡¯s kind to women, the youngdy, ignorant of the world, is being carried around by an Onii-san of dubious origin who doesn¡¯t even know which horse he¡¯s on¡but the youngdy is already quite fond of him, so he doesn¡¯t seem to be a viin¡or is she being deceived? Hm~mm¡.. if it worried me this much, I shouldn¡¯t have noticed.¡±
¡°¡¡ h, hey, I¡¯m not trying to deceive her¡¡±
¡°Truly? Well, what do I do? Do I close my eyes? ¡¡ This one saw nothing~, dahahaha!¡±
I felt the gaze. The eyes that had been looking at Espie were now turned on me, as if they were trying to assess me¡ Hmm? You saw nothing? What are you talking about? Your eyes look perfectly normal, but¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
And Tre¡¯ainar seemed to have noticed something.
What the heck¡¡
¡°Be blown awaaaaaaaaay!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Nnah? Wait, young miss, h, hold, it, nhbooooooooooooh!!
The next moment, Espie shouted and threw her hand at the man, and suddenly a powerful shockwave erupted, and the man burst through the wall of the shop and was blown outside.
¡°Uh~¡¡¡±
¡°Hey, Espie, y, you¡ what the hell!¡±
¡°Come, big brother!¡±
¡°No, no, he must be dead¡¡±
¡°He won¡¯t die with that. So let¡¯s run away quickly!¡±
Saying that, Espie grabbed my hand and then put her other hand over the package at my feet, and the package ¡°floated¡±.
¡°We should run away quickly! We¡¯ll get caught! I¡¯m not going back! I¡¯m staying with big brother!¡±
¡°Ah, uh, ah, ah~ already, yoooou!¡±
I mean, is the guy who got blown away okay?
But, even though I tried to check on him, Espie pulled me along without a care in the world.
¡°This is~, already! I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯ll pay for the wall of the shop with this!¡±
At any rate, I gave the confused shopkeeper a bag full ofrge sums of money and ran away, with Espie dragging me through the wall that she had broken.

Chapter 273: Legend Encounter Rate
Chapter 273 ¨C Legend Encounter Rate
One of the Seven Heroes blew a person away in the city.
The other party might not be an ordinary person, but I have to do something about Espie¡¯s reckless use of power in the future.
¡°Big brother, over here!¡±
¡°Oh, oh¡¡±
¡ºAnotherplication¡¡»
Espie seemed to want to escape as soon as possible, but Tre¡¯ainar was by the side, holding his head in astonishment.
¡°Hey, Espie¡ who was he?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±
¡°No, that can¡¯t be true!¡±
¡°Big brother, don¡¯t worry about that! Big brother will travel everywhere with me, so it¡¯s okay!¡±
Apparently, she didn¡¯t like the idea of being taken back, or rather, she had a sense of rejection towards the Union and her formerrades.
¡ºThen again, child¡ what is with you? Have you some aspect that attracts legends to you?¡»
¡¸?¡¹
¡ºI never, tis beyond expectations. Even if by mere coincidence, for that man to be here¡¡»
Come to think of it, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to have noticed who the man was, even though Espie¡¯s blow had thrown things off track.
What the heck¡¡
¡°Seriously, this is really troublesome!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!!??¡±¡±
¡°You don¡¯t just run away when people are trying to decide whether or not to overlook you, their bodies will spontaneously chase after you, so please excuse me!¡±
At that moment, the wind blew right past us, and in the middle of the city, that man turned around to block our path.
¡°Uh¡ Ugh~¡±
¡°This guy¡¡±
So fast. He¡¯s no ordinary person after all.
I was running in a fairlyrge city with a lot of people, but I didn¡¯t think he would find me already.
And¡..
¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to catch up, but¡ are you okay?¡±
¡°Hmm? Never mind. it¡¯s just a sweet youngdy throwing a tantrum. As adults, it¡¯s our duty to justugh and ept it.¡±
The headpiece and the clothes he was wearing were slightly torn, but it didn¡¯t look like there was much damage from being hit so hard.
¡°But, I¡¯m a little surprised that you could catch up so easily.¡±
¡°Much thanks. I remembered not only Espie-jou¡¯s footsteps, but also Onii-san¡¯s footsteps and muscle flow. So, if it¡¯s a city of about this size¡ no matter where you run away, I¡¯ll find you, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°This one, is sensitive to such things.¡±
Footsteps? Flow? Remember? I wonder what that meant, but how did he know where to run?
¡°Keh, I don¡¯t get it. But can he grasp where to catch me? Hang on, Espie!¡±
¡°Big brothe¡ waah!¡±
Even if he knows where we are, he still has to catch us.
I was a little annoyed that he could talk so freely¡
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Oro?¡±
I ran with Espie in my arms, just like when I broke through the Demon King Army the other day.
¡°¡¡ Oh, don¡¯t you say stylish things~¡±
I¡¯ll get past him. With my feint.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Killer Crossover¡¿!¡±
A step work to overtake him after making him react the opposite way by using a feint to cut back, whether to go right or left based on the opponent¡¯s reaction or slight movement.
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°?¡±
Huh? What¡¯s this? Can¡¯t draw him in with my step?
He was still standing nkly in front of me.
¡ºHead, eyes, arms, elbows, legs, knees¡ predict the next move from the opponent¡¯s entire body. However, the more high-level the opponent to whom you feint, the more likely they are to get caught in it. However, this one did not see it in the first ce¡ he cannot see it, so he is not deceived.¡»
At that moment, I heard Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s muttering¡
¡°Wha~, are you doing all kinds of¡ feints? The sound of muscles with no intention to pull out from the beginning¡ all fake¡ just pretending to break through, waiting for this one to move first¡ aren¡¯t the signs obvious~?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
And I felt it with my whole body at that moment.
¨D¨DI can¡¯t draw him out
And.
¡°¡¡ tch¡¡±
¡°Oh¡ Big brother¡¡±
Even though my father and mother fell for it, I couldn¡¯t catch this guy.
I gave up and stepped back to distance myself from the man.
¡°Oh¡ you sensed it in advance and kept your distance without rushing in¡ isn¡¯t that a good decision.¡±
¡°¡¡ You¡¡±
¡°I see. Not just a kind Onii-san, are you?¡±
The man smiles happily under his face.
Not doing anything.
He just stood there.
And yet, I sensed something that made me feel like I was stuck.
And aftering this far, I somehow knew the identity of this man¡
¡°Oh, Onii-san, Espie-jou¡¡ just for now¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°A conversation¡ª¡ª¡±
The next moment, the man in front of me suddenly disappeared¡ no, he tried to go around behind¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
¡°Oro!?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡¡¡¡±
I reflexively threw out my left.
It seemed that the man went around behind me and Espie at high speed and tried to reach for Espie and pull her away, but I flicked his hand away and stepped back again to distance myself from the man while holding Espie in my arms.
¡°¡¡ hoh¡ you saw thating?¡±
It was only a brief exchange.
But that alone made me realize that he had changed his attitude towards me.
¡°Oh~ my goodness¡ this is a problem, isn¡¯t it? I just came across something ridiculous by skipping work¡ Onii-san¡¡ don¡¯t do that!¡±
The air changed.
The pressure was clearly palpable.
¡ºGood gracious¡ however¡¡ this might be a little bit interesting.¡»
Ah? Somehow Tre¡¯ainar grinned a little amused.
¡°I¡¯m rather interested in you, Onii-san¡¡±
Saying this, the man untied the cloth around his waist while he leaned forward. Revealing a sword inside.
But, he did not pull out the sword, he just held it calmly with his hand on the hilt.
¡°Then, why don¡¯t we have a conversation at this distance? But, the next time youe to draw this one out, Onii-san¡ I might draw this out as well. And you wouldn¡¯t like it, would you Onii-san?¡±
¡°Hahaha, what are you saying? You look like you¡¯re trying to provoke me, right? Encouraging me toe back for more.¡±
¡°Oyaoya, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±
The man was clearly inviting me to e over¡±.
¡°Big brother, you can¡¯t fight him! Big brother¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡ºy a little, child. But, do not lose focus.¡»
Then, as if to interrupt Espie¡¯s words, Tre¡¯ainar whispered to me.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºAlthough tis a coincidence¡ tis the furthest realm¡ of the theme of your current training.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºAlthough tis different from Magical Radar¡ the sense of perceiving the unseen and grasping the world around you¡ this man has it.¡»
There, something unexpected was uttered.
I understand that the man is not an ordinary person, but he¡¯s enough to make Tre¡¯ainar say that.
There are not many at that level.
Of the Six Supremacy on the Demon side.
If he¡¯s human, he would be that¡ furthermore¡¡ a Samurai of Japone¡
¡°I see¡ I certainly have a ridiculous encounter rate with legends¡ but¡¡ okay, I¡¯m willing to give it a try.¡±
¡°Hou~.¡±
¡°While I¡¯m at it, I¡¯ll knock your guts out.¡±
¡°Oh hou~, aren¡¯t you stylish!¡±
If that¡¯s the case, my luck is really terrible.
I wonder why I keep running into legends like this.
But on the other hand, if Tre¡¯ainar said that, I also want to give it a try.
Chapter 274: Seeing Through All
Chapter 274 ¨C Seeing Through All
¡°Here we go.¡±
A light step and a flicker stance.
¡°Hmm¡ an empty fist practitioner¡ such light footwork¡ isn¡¯t that superb. You can feel it from the air. Such a sharp physique¡ it must be swift.¡±
¡°¡¡ ¡¾Great Demon Flic¨C¡°
I was about to turn left immediately after stepping in¡ but the next moment, my body suddenly stopped.
¡°Huh!?¡±
My left hand¡ no, I felt sweating out of my whole body in an instant.
¡°¡¡ oh¡ what¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t youing?¡±
¡°Big brother!?¡±
If I had taken another step, my left hand¡ would have been cut off, right?
In that forward-leaning posture, that old man who still hasn¡¯t pulled his sword out of the scabbard¡
¡ºTis a good response. After all, now that you have the Magical Radar, your sensitivity is adequate.¡»
¡°Hmph¡ no big deal. You sensed it and stopped just before approaching¡ that alone doesn¡¯t show me what you¡¯re capable of.¡±
On the other hand, both Tre¡¯ainar and the man in front of me seem to understand that I didn¡¯t stop because I was ¡°scared¡±, but rather because I reacted well.
¡°Hey hey, what¡¯s going on? Is it a fight?¡±
¡°What are you doing in the middle of the road?¡±
¡°Huh? I¡¯m sure he¡¯s the guy who won the super ticket earlier!¡±
As expected, it¡¯s in the middle of the city, and the people around have noticed and started to get a little restless.
But, that doesn¡¯t resolve the situation¡
¡°¡¡ ¡¾Earth Misdirection Shuffle¡¿¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
A jab after a step-in from the front was about to be cut down.
So how about this?
¡°B, big brother, oh, wow!¡±
Espie and the onlookers around me were stunned by my movements.
Back and forth, left and right, both hands, both feet, both elbows, both knees, both eyes. By feinting everything randomly, I disorientate every reaction of the opponent.
¡°Oh, oh, ooooooh, isn¡¯t this amazing!¡±
The man also eximed in admiration.
Even that Jamdi¡¯el was at the mercy of this technique.
¡°Quite fast¡ and this footwork¡ I can¡¯t catch this¡ really, I¡¯m in trouble¡¡±
It¡¯s fairly fast¡ if I use Breakthrough it¡¯ll be even faster, but I don¡¯t know my opponent¡¯s skills, so let¡¯s wait and see.
And although the man says ¡°I¡¯m in trouble,¡± his stance has not changed consistently since the beginning.
¡°This isn¡¯t amazing¡ hmm¡¡ an average user wouldn¡¯t be able to understand what¡¯s happening¡ if you yed tag, you wouldn¡¯t get caught¡¡±
He didn¡¯t react to my feints to shake him, he just maintained his stance and didn¡¯t move.
But, I didn¡¯t hesitate to do a crossover step¡ and show a left turn.
With this, my father and mother¡¯s feet¡
¡°So sharp and powerful¡ but¡¡ you don¡¯t intend to pull me out, nor do you intend to attack¡ it¡¯s not the same. No visible feints will work with this one.¡±
No reaction!
He¡¯s aware of my movements, but he didn¡¯t get caught up in my feints at all!
No, but when I get to this distance, my left is faster¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Hai, wee ?.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
At that moment, before I knew it, I took a big step back and jumped off the spot.
¡°Oh¡ you held out without stepping in here too¡ isn¡¯t that amazing? I never thought¡ there are still strong people out there that the world doesn¡¯t know about yet.¡±
The man turned his hips and stopped just before he drew his sword out slightly, wearing a cheerful smile.
And I instinctively knew that if I had stepped in now, I would have been shed by that sword.
¡°¡¡ You¡¡±
Did he see everything? No, he saw through it all?
Even though I was not in the Breakthrough state, my steps were¡
¡°It¡¯s true that you can¡¯t be caught if I make a move from my side. But no matter how much you move, the moment you try to step in for a punch, your body will inevitably release muscle movements that say, ¡®I¡¯m about to punch¡¯¡ no, they give a signal.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°I suppose you let it seep into your body through bloody repetitive practice? That¡¯s why, no matter how much you feint, I just need to wait until your muscles give the signal to ¡®step in and punch¡¯.¡±
It¡¯s not my movements¡ he just sensed the moment I¡¯m about to punch?
That¡¯s so ridiculous¡
¡ºTis possible, with this man.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºThis man is blind. Therefore, he is unfazed by feints that deceive the eyes of the opponent. He does not see and react, but feels and then reacts¡ and predicts.¡»
When I asked, ¡°Can he do that?¡± Tre¡¯ainar assured me that he could.
¡ºIn exchange for being blind, the other senses of this man are excellent. He can instantly grasp the physical information, the muscle mass, the physical abilities derived from them, and even the amount of magic power of the opponent he is facing.¡»
He¡¯s blind. But using his other excellent senses, he was able to grasp more about me than could be seen with the eyes, and even analyze and make predictions from there¡ can humans do that?
No, because he can do it¡
¡ºMore than Gouda, he cannot match the ¡®magnitude¡¯ of Hiro¡¯s exploit of defeating ¡®La¡¯iphant¡¯, but¡ even before the rise of Hiro and the others, he fought alongside Mikado against the Demon King Army for many years, and as the oldest of the Seven Heroes, he has earned the most achievements among the Seven Heroes¡¡»
I see. This is different from my parents of the future, who have settled down after the war¡
¡°The Seven Heroes¡¯¡¡¯Koujiro¡¯?¡±
¡°I wish they wouldn¡¯t call me a hero, I¡¯m not that glorious.¡±
He really is an active hero.
I see.
But¡¡
¡°Heh, I¡¯m surprised we ran into each other in a ce like this¡ my legend encounter rate is scary¡ but¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not surprising that you¡¯re such an amazing guy. When you¡¯re in the Seven Heroes or Six Supremacy, you have to do so much, right?¡±
As Tre¡¯ainar said, ¡°It¡¯s the perfect version of my current training menu.¡±
It¡¯s reasonable for the Seven Heroes, who are the rivals of the Six Supremacy.
But for that reason, I wasn¡¯t surprised, I was just certain.
¡°Meaning, this is not an opponent you can beat without getting hurt¡ you should engage with the resolve to get shed, right?¡±
¡°¡¡ So hees¡ but isn¡¯t that tactic only possible after catching this one¡¯s sh?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not afraid of that anymore.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hoho¡¡±
I didn¡¯t step in and punch because I thought I¡¯d get cut.
But that¡¯s all.
Then, I need to be prepared to take damage¡ and go into a state of extreme concentration¡
¡°¡¡ I see¡¡ Hmm? ¡¡ Whoa¡ this is¡¡±
Enter the Zone.
From there¡¡
¡°Oh¡ whoa sonny¡ Extreme Concentration¡ to reach the state of selflessness on one¡¯s own¡ how terrifying¡¡±
With my senses sharpened to the limit¡ and in addition¡¡
¡°And my steps earlier¡ don¡¯t think that¡¯s all I got.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Next time, it¡¯ll be a little faster, okay?¡±
With all my nerves exposed¡
¡°¡¾Breakthrough¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
How about this? Just when he thought that he had predicted my speed and strength based on my muscle mass, everything was greatly improved with the Breakthrough.
¡°Wh¡ at?¡±
¡°Big brother¡ pretty¡¡±
I could see that Koujiro¡¯s body tensing in surprise for a moment.
There¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Jab¡¿!!¡±
Shock wave from this distance.
¡°Eh, whoa! ¡¾Battou¡¿!¡±
The shockwave emanating from my high-speed fist slightly dyed Koujiro¡¯s reaction, which was momentarily startled by my Breakthrough, and Koujiro quickly swung his sword from his waist at high speed.
¡°Tch¡ you got me, didn¡¯t you¡¡±
¡°You pulled it out, your sword! Next, ¡¾Goosestep¡¿!¡±
Koujiro, who was just preparing to counterattack me, swung his sword at this point to counter my shockwave with a high-speed sh.
But this was the aim.
I immediately step into Koujiro¡¯s reach.
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°Ora, I stepped in, right? ¡ now fly!¡±
¡°Huh!? It can¡¯t be helped! Don¡¯t resent me if you get hurt, Onii-san!¡±
I jumped into Kojiro¡¯s bosom with his sword drawn and released my clenched right fist at close range.
Koujiro, on the other hand, immediately reversed the edge of his drawn sword and swung it at me.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Smaaaaaash¡¿!!
¡°¡¾Tsubame Kaeshi¡¿!!¡±
Koujiro also swung his sword down with the intention of cutting me off.
But I bared all my nerves and threw myself out to strike with all my might.
¡ºAh¡ Koujiro and Espie¡ have been shown the Breakthrough¡ well¡¡ no matter¡ I suppose?¡»
Hmm? Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ did you say something?

¡°It¡¯s not just a scuffle, what¡¯s going on!?¡±
¡°And, that man, he¡¯s Koujiro¡ of the Seven Heroes!?¡±
The moment I swung my right smash, the feeling I felt in my fist was that of blowing off the straw mask that Koujiro was wearing.
At the same time, there was a slight heat in my right arm¡ he left a small cut on my skin¡ no problem!
¡°Yo, nice to meet you!¡±
¡°Eh, oh, oh¡¡±
Koujiro¡¯s true face emerged from under a shattered straw mask.
His long ck hair was pulled back from the front, giving him an astringent feeling.
Both his eyes were closed, and his cheek was slightly cut by my fist.
¡°One more¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Now fly!!¡±
A follow-up left hook. Hit¡ª¡ª
¡°¡¾Datto¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
The next moment, just before my left fist was released, Koujiro showed his back and ran away¡ as a result, my left hand swung at empty air¡
¡°Hold it, h, hey hey¡¡±
With no regard for his reputation or appearance¡ how do I put this¡
¡°W, why are you running away!? You¡¯re one of the Seven Heroes!, right?¡±
I never thought that one of the Seven Heroes would turn his back on me and run away so brazenly.
Then Koujiro had a smile on his face¡
¡°Hero? To this one, it¡¯s a word that people attach on their own¡ how do you think I could have survived so many years of war?¡±
¡°Wh, ha¡?¡±
¡°Because this one is blind, I can perceive danger better than most other people¡ after all, when you run away, you don¡¯t have to worry about other people¡¯s opinions, and even if it¡¯s shameful, I prioritize my life ?.¡±
It was a far cry from the image of a warrior that I had imagined since I was a kid, that ¡°a warrior fights while holding dear to his life¡± ¡
¡°I found that not dying is this one¡¯s Bushido.¡±
That¡¯s why, when he was about tounch his next attack, I couldn¡¯t say anything and was at a loss for words¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Oh, hey hey, we¡¯re not in the middle of a face-off yet!¡±
I won¡¯t let him get a fresh start.
I¡¯m going to attack before he¡¯s ready.
¡°Damn, I wish you¡¯d give this one a break!¡±
¡°Oh, I told you, I won¡¯t let you get away¡!¡±
¡°Ku~¡¡ there¡¯s no time to prepare my Battoujutsu stance¡¡±
But, Koujiro ran away again.
When he saw that he couldn¡¯t counter me with his sword, he used his sensing ability to run away¡
¡°Wait! Ra! Ora! Uraa!
¡°I cannot match your speed, but with my anticipation skills, I can still manage to flee!¡±
¡°This guy¡¡±
So aloof¡ but, it¡¯s also true that I can¡¯t actually catch him.
I¡¯m faster in the Breakthrough state. Maybe I have more power too.
But, he can read my movements¡ I see¡¡ he¡¯s reached the limits of perception¡ huh¡
¡°Hmm? Tch¡¡±
Because I was running around, the Breakthrough was interrupted ¡ but¡¡
¡°Su~¡ Haa~¡¡±
Instantly restore magic power with Magical Breathing.
¡°¡.. Huh? Now that was¡ Magic power¡ huh!? The magic has been restored¡!?¡±
Then, Koujiro seemed to sense it properly and looked surprised at the same time.
¡°¡¡ Body Strengthening with magic¡ However, the magic power consumption seemed to be intense, so when I ran around and tried to aim for the moment when the magic power was interrupted¡ you recovered¡ is such a thing possible? This is unheard of¡ seriously, who are you?¡±
¡°Ora, what are you mumbling about!¡±
¡°Instantaneous magic recovery is too much of a threat¡ no¡.. however, the timing of the magic recovery just now¡ he was clearly defenseless when concentrating on it at the moment of recovery¡ next time, if he shows that opening¡¡±
If Koujiro holds his sword in a state of tense concentration like before, I will be shed at the counter.
Before that, I willnd a hit.
He seemed to be muttering something, but it didn¡¯t matter.
¡°You cut Big brother¡ Koujiro¡¡ you cut Big brother!¡±
¡¡ Hmm? What?!
¡°Nuoh!?¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
Something flew between me and Koujiro, ¡¡ or rather, towards Koujiro.
It was arge barrel, with its contents.
It floated and flew towards Koujiro.
¡°Th, that¡¯s dangerous!¡±
Although it was a sudden surprise, Koujiro managed to avoid it.
But beyond his line of sight¡
¡°Big brother¡ cut¡¡ cut cut cutcutcutcut¡¡±
The barrel seemed to be ced in front of the restaurant¡ by the dozen or so.
She red at Koujiro as she made them all float¡
¡°E, Espie?¡±
¡°Whoa, isn¡¯t this also very dangerous!?¡±
Espie looked furious¡ somehow, the air crackled with so much static electricity that it hurt, and the pressure spread as if to destroy everything, and everyone, including the onlookers, turned pale.
¡°YOU CUT BIG BROTHER! I WON¡¯T FORGIVE YOU! KOUJIRO, DIE !!!!¡±
¡°E, Espie-jou!?¡±
Because she was so young, and with everything she had endured so far, as soon as her shackles came off, Espie snapped with all her emotions.
This is bad!
¡°F, first of all! Ojou, look, I surrender! I, for one, surrender to your brother! Look, I have put aside the samurai¡¯s sword, the pride of a warrior, right? See, I am no longer a threat to you!¡±
Koujiro appealed by throwing away his sword with a wry smile. Hey, is that okay for a swordsman?
But it didn¡¯t reach Espie¡¯s ears.
¡°DIE¡¡ KOUJIRO, DIE!!¡±
¡°Ah, arararara~?¡±
Up until now, it was ¡°blow away¡±, but ¡°die¡± is somethingpletely different.
But¡¡
¡°Espie!¡±
¡°Huh¡ Ah¡¡±
¡°Here¡ good girl¡ good girl¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ ah¡¡±
Before Espie could use her power, I hugged her from the front and stroked her head many times.
Then, Espie was stunned, and her overflowing power began to calm down.
¡°¡¡ Big brother¡¡±
¡°Espie, you¡¯re a good girl, so just stop, I¡¯m fine.¡±
¡°¡¡ But¡¡ that man, Big brother¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s all right. Hey? That¡¯s enough, okay?¡±
¡°¡¡ Ugh¡¡±
He was able to stop her tantrum, but Espie still seemed frustrated because she still hasn¡¯t gotten over it.
But, I want the battle between the Seven Heroes to end here, so I tried desperately to dissuade her.
¡°Also, don¡¯t say ¡®die¡¯ or anything like that¡ absolutely not¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I can¡¯t?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. If you want to stay with me¡ don¡¯t say things like ¡®die¡¯ so carelessly, okay?¡±
¡°¡¡ Ugh¡¡±
¡°Then, you don¡¯t want toe along with me?¡±
¡°Huh!? Okay! I won¡¯t say it! I won¡¯t say it anymore! I won¡¯t say it!¡±
¡°Oshi!¡±
Has she finally calmed down? Hah~¡¡ it¡¯s hard to deal with kids¡ Kron, Shinobu, and Sadiz will have them one day¡ I mean, hey, what¡¯s wrong with me, I can¡¯t have more than one at a time¡
¡°Phuh¡ Kukuku¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Da~hahaha, I give up, I give up! I truly say, this one is defeated!
At that moment, Koujiroughed wildly and sat on the ground, and pped his hands.
¡°Alright, no chance no chance! I give up already!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°No~, I didn¡¯t expect it to be this bad. This level of opponent would put anything and everything on the line¡ even if in victory, this one won¡¯t walk away unscathed, and Espie-jou will cry and send me flying.¡±
¡°Wh, eh¡¡±
¡°And most importantly¡ unlike us, who could do nothing for the sullen-faced little girl who was always crying in her heart, Onii-san saved her heart¡ as a fellow man, I can no longer point my sword at such a man.¡±
Saying that, Koujiro sheathed the sword he had thrown away, smiled at me and Espie, and gave me a thumbs up.
¡°So, Espie-jou, leave the rest to this one and go have fun with your brother or wherever you want!¡±
¡°Koujiro¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know who he is, but I can trust this Onii-san¡ that¡¯s what I believe.¡±
Chapter 276: Things You Shouldn’t Know
Chapter 276 ¨C Things You Shouldn¡¯t Know
¡°So Onii-san, where are you headed to from here?¡±
¡°About that. Weren¡¯t you going to look the other way?¡±
¡°Just out of curiosity. Well, if you don¡¯t want to tell me, I won¡¯t force you to.¡±
The fight? Me and Koujiro ended it.
We were talking in an equipment store.
¡°For the time being, it¡¯s not yet known to the entire Allied Forces, but the Seven Heroes and the Generals have already received word that Espie-jou is missing, and they suspect that she may have been taken prisoner by the Demon King¡¯s Army.¡±
¡°Oh~¡±
¡°Those Bethreal folk must be in a frenzy? Well, this one will not inform Bethreal! The missing Espie-jou escaped with a strong and gentle prince on a white horse¡ if you interfere, the white horse will kick you to death!¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m no prince¡ I mean, you¡¯re being too irresponsible.¡±
Normally, it would be quite bold tough off Espie like this, when she might have made a big difference in history and the war¡
¡°But that aside¡ Onii-san is quite strong, but why don¡¯t you take part in the war?¡±
¡°Hey hey, what is this? Have you been interrogating me all this time?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why, I¡¯m trying to satisfy my curiosity. The powerhouse unknown to humanity and the world, unknown to everyone¡ isn¡¯t it natural to be interested?¡±
¡°I, I see¡¡±
Powerhouse¡¡ huh¡ being praised by the active Seven Heroes.
Moreover, without preconceived notions like the Son of the Hero.
It¡¯s a bit embarrassing¡
¡°In that sense¡ Onii-san is also amazing¡ but what¡¯s really amazing is¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°The one who taught Onii-san how to fight¡ isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
I was really nervous for a moment. Wh, what is he¡
¡°Onii-san is indeed a capable fighter¡ but not a talent, a hard worker¡ after understanding Onii-san¡¯s physical abilities, you train them in a well-bnced manner, and have not only a sense of stability, but also explosive power¡ more than anything, techniques that even this one, with my many years ofbat experience, does not know¡ these techniques are also deep and dense, not only superficial¡ it is impossible for a young man of your age to get to that point¡¡ let alone by himself¡¡±
¡°Well, that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure¡ you must have been trained by a great master, I can imagine.¡±
Ah~, you got me¡ for a moment, I thought he had found out about Tre¡¯ainar, but I just imagined it¡ but to know that I have a master just from that one confrontation¡ this guy¡
¡ºUh huh. As expected of Koujiro. Mm-hmm. A great master is indeed attached to the child. Mm-hmm! Quite great!¡»
And the person behind me nodded with a happy smile on his face¡ no, this is one of the Seven Heroes who defeated you in the past¡
¡°Bnce, stability, technique, explosive power¡ in these respects¡ let¡¯s see¡¡ there is a big difference with Hiro, one of the Seven Heroes like this one.¡±
¡°¡¡ Nu¡¡±
¡°Hiro only specializes in explosive power, and is much too unstable.¡±
I was surprised when my father¡¯s name was mentioned, and I couldn¡¯t help but react.
¡°Oya¡ the Hero Hiro is unstable?¡±
¡°Hmm? Indeed. Hiro clearly doesn¡¯t have a firm foundation¡ while he can defeat all sorts of powerful opponents with his explosive power and natural talent, astonishingly, he struggles against just about anyone¡ when he hits his stride, he¡¯s absolutely unbeatable. However, when he¡¯s pushed around, he¡¯s surprisingly fragile¡ that¡¯s the kind of guy he is.¡±
¡°¡¡ Is that¡ right¡¡
¡°Well, that¡¯s why Mikado-Jisan, his mentor and the ¡®Supreme Commander¡¯, is giving him a hard time right now.¡±
The strongest, unrivaled Hero¡ rather, I thought that was just like my father.
That¡¯s why, not only my fighting style, but also the stability and things like that, I really went down apletely different path from my father¡ Hmm? That? Now, this guy¡ my father¡¡
¡°I see, Onii-san.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Onii-san¡ what is your rtionship¡¡ with Hiro and Mamu?¡±
¡°Buh!?¡±
Argh, such an unexpected question caught me off-guard that I blurted out this time.
¡°Wh-what, are you talking about¡me with the Seven Heroes¡¡±
¡°Simr scent? It¡¯s kind of the same as those two¡ it feels somewhat simr. Makes me curious about the connection, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Eh, simr to¡?¡±
¡°Even though your fighting styles arepletely different¡ for some reason, when I interact with Onii-san, Hiro and Mamu inevitablye to mind¡ and when I mention their names, your heart skips a beat you know ?.¡±
Hey, this guy! He was interrogating me while remaining aloof!?
I mean, maybe it¡¯s because he can¡¯t see, but he can sense and perceive more things than other people¡
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh¡¡±
At that moment, Espie rushed over from the back of the store.
Nice timing!
The robe that had been provided by the army was stained with blood, so she was wearing a new white robe.
I was going to buy new clothes, and I let her choose what she liked.
It seems that she had a lot of trouble, but I wonder if she finally found something good. When I thought about it, Espie sulked a little.
¡°Koujiro! Don¡¯t talk to Big brother so much!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°He¡¯s Espie¡¯s Big brother¡ Koujiro, hurry up and go home! Big brother doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s having fun with Koujiro!¡±
¡°Otto~, I¡¯m sorry about that! But rest assured. I will not take your dear brother away from you, Espie-jou!¡±
¡°Uh~¡¡¡±
Oops, it looked like I was getting along so well with Koujiro, so I guess she got a little jealous.
Somehow she¡¯s staring at Koujiro as if she wants to bite him¡ but¡¡
¡°Espie, do you want that one? It looks good on you.¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ uh, un, Big brother, do you think this looks good? Is it pretty?¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s pretty cute.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ Ehehe¡¡ then I¡¯ll take it¡¡±
¡°Gotcha!¡±
¡°Big brother¡ thank you¡¡±
¡°Ooh.¡±
When I patted her on the head, she smiled very happily and immediately got back into a good mood.
¡°I¡¯m d, Espie-jou. You¡¯ve be so cute.¡±
¡°Shut up, Koujiro. You can¡¯t even see it, can you?¡±
¡°Even if I can¡¯t see it, I can sense the flowers blooming in Espie-jou¡¯s heart and expression, which were empty?.¡±
¡°What do you mean, I don¡¯t understand.¡±
But Espie was immediately put in a bad mood¡ I thought, but¡
¡°Dahahaha, please cheer up~, I promise, I won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡±
¡°Shut up.¡±
I don¡¯t know what it is¡¡ even though she doesn¡¯t like him¡ it doesn¡¯t feel like rejection, it¡¯s like she¡¯s opening up even though she doesn¡¯t like him.
¡°Espie. Get some spare clothes and anything else you want.¡±
¡°Yes. Big brother, panties too!¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh.¡±
¡°Hey¡ Big brother¡ this one has cat drawings¡ this one has dogs¡ which one is cuter?¡±
¡°Buy them both¡±
¡°Huh¡ both? Is it okay to get both!?¡±
¡°I mean, go get more.¡±
¡°Yes! I understand! Thank you so much, Big brother!¡±
Phew, I didn¡¯t think I would be shaken by such a question.
After spending three months with Amae, I¡¯ve gotten used to things like this¡
¡°No, no, Onii-san. You should be a little embarrassed about that¡¡ wouldn¡¯t she say something like ¡®I¡¯ll put them on and show you how they look¡¯¡ and cause a little embarrassment?¡±
¡°That¡¯s because I¡¯m a big brother. I¡¯m used to dealing with little sisters.¡±
¡°You¡¯re used to¡ Big brother, do you have another sister¡ besides me? Hey, who is it? Where is she? Is she strong? Is she stronger than me? Is she cute? Do you like her¡ more than me?¡±
Hah, she¡¯s kind of boisterous and attracted the attention of everyone in the store¡ but was I able to get through Koujiro¡¯s interrogation for now?
Koujiro also has suspicions, but it doesn¡¯t seem like he¡¯s sure of anything, so as it is¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Well, the question I asked earlier¡ I¡¯m not going to ask anymore.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°In this world ¡ there are things you shouldn¡¯t know. Besides, I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll see Onii-san again someday, and if I¡¯m alive by then, I¡¯ll ask.¡±
Saying that, Koujiro whispered in my ear so that Espie couldn¡¯t hear us.
This uncle¡¡ he really is one cunning guy¡
Chapter 277: Setting Sail a Second Time
Chapter 277 ¨C Setting Sail a Second Time
Espie and I both put on our hoods properly.
This way, people would only see us as a parent and child or brother and sister traveling together.
Fortunately, it was Koujiro this time, but in the future there might be people who know Espie¡¯s face, so I have to be careful.
¡°Well, best of health, Espie-jou. Why don¡¯t you give me a hug at the end?¡±
¡°I absolutely won¡¯t, Beh!¡±
¡°Ungh, so cold to the end, aren¡¯t you!?¡±
The dock. A ship bound for the continent on the other side of the world.
Koujiro asked for a farewell hug, but Espie coldly refused.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡¡¡ Koujiro¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
As apromise, Espie trotted up to Koujiro, tugged at the hem of her clothes and whispered¡
¡°¡¡ th¡ thank you¡ I told you to die, but¡ I didn¡¯t mean it¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
¡°Haha.¡±
Even though she didn¡¯t hug or fawn on him, Espie thanked him while looking bashful and apologized for what she said.
Koujiro also patted Espie¡¯s head while looking pleased with those words.
¡°Now, this one can also work harder. Stay in good health.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
Espie, who hadn¡¯t opened up to my father or mother¡ no, she didn¡¯t seem to have opened up ¡°yet¡±, might have softened a little towards Koujiro.
¡°Onii-san as well.¡±
¡°Yeah¡¡±
Saying that, I nodded back to Koujiro, who also smiled at me.
He never showed the depth of his power, and to be honest, I don¡¯t know how strong he will be when he goes all out.
But this time, I found out that he was a big softy.
People who fought against my father like Tre¡¯ainar and the Six Supremacy¡ on the other hand, those who fought with my father¡
¡°Until next time¡¡¯we¡¯ll meet again.''¡±
¡°Yeah, don¡¯t look forward to it!¡±
I¡¯m the one who found out about you¡ so I¡¯ll be seeing you¡ that¡¯s what I decided.
¡ºCertainly, this man in the future¡ ¡®knows¡¯ about the child¡ how curious.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡ by the way, can Koujiro see you?¡¹
¡ºNo, I do not believe so¡ well, I suppose he senses that there is something peculiar about the child¡¡»
¡¸I see¡¡¹
¡ºBe that as it may¡¡¡¡¡¡¡»
¡¸Hmm? Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar¡ was staring at Koujiro with a somewhatplicated expression.
I was worried about that and tried to call out, but Tre¡¯ainar immediately turned on his heel.
¡ºAh¡ tis ¡®nothing¡¯¡ ¡®your concern is unnecessary¡¯¡ child.¡»
¡¸?¡¹
I had no idea what feelings were contained in Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
¡°Let¡¯s go, then, Espie.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
Espie boarded the boat with me, looking down a little.
At that time, Espie wiped her eyes with her hand only once.
¡°If you are feeling lonel¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°I¡¯m not lonely, because I¡¯m with Big brother. If you tell me to go back, I¡¯ll beat you up, even if you are Big brother.¡±
¡°¡¡ I, I understand¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡±
I jokingly asked a wild question, but she didn¡¯t think I was joking, and Espie tightly squeezed my hand in protest, so I decided not to say anything else.
I mean, she heard about my sister Amae in the equipment store¡ so she still seemed a little grumpy.
¡°SET SAIL¨D¨D¨D¨D!!¡±
The high-spirited voices of sailors echoed across the deck as the ship sailed away.
The sky was clear. It¡¯s a good day for a departure.
Even so, the little girl over here had a sour look on her face.
¡°Espie~,e on, say bye bye to Koujiro.¡±
¡°I already did.¡±
¡°Geez, hey~ what got you so mad. Don¡¯t be so sulky.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not mad.¡±
Even with that kind of persistence¡
¡ºMy oh my, you appear to be struggling, child.¡»
¡¸Hm~m¡ if she gets this attached, it will be more and more difficult from now on. It will be difficult to train outside the Vier world¡ well, there¡¯s nothing to train for on the ship anyway¡¡¹
¡ºTraining¡ well, then you can do that, can you not? Have you forgotten when you were on a ship in the future?¡»
¡¸Huh? ¡¡ ah¡¡¹
For a while, I thought I was going to be stuck with a grumpy Espie for a while, and there was nothing I could do, but when I heard Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words I had an epiphany.
¡ºDuring those few days of voyage in the future, the training was merely meditation and a change of scenery, with not much effect¡ but what about now?¡»
I get it. At that time, I did it as part of learning Magical Radar and a bit of fun at the same time.
The results were embarrassing, and the old sailorsughed at me, but now¡
¡ºMoreover, if tis apanied by Espie¡ then somehow¡¡»
¡¸We can do it together, like we¡¯re ying a little¡¡¹
I thought it was definitely a good idea, so I told Espie¡
¡°Hey, Espie.¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°You want to go fishing?¡±
¡°¡¡¡.. Huh?¡±
That¡¯s right, fishing.
¡°Fishing¡ like catching fish?¡±
¡°Yes. Have you ever done it?¡±
¡°Hmm~¡¡ I¡¯ve caught them in the river with my power.¡±
¡°No, you catch the fish with a fishing rod.¡±
Hearing Espie¡¯s story, I smiled a little.
Certainly, with Espie¡¯s power, it was faster to catch them with her ability without fishing for them.
But this was not about catching fish.
¡°With a rod? Troublesome.¡±
¡°I see¡ we can¡¯t¡ that¡¯s too bad. If you had yed a game with your brother and won, I would have listened to anything you had to say again.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Then, Big brother will go fishing alone¡¡±
¡°Well, I can do it! I can catch fish easily!¡±
¡°You have to use a proper rod, right?¡±
¡°I can do it! Something like that, it¡¯s easy!¡±
Espie was pouting at my provocation.
I said, I¡¯ll listen to whatever you say¡ but if Espie is a beginner, I can beat her after learning to use the radar.
And so, Espie and I, while enjoying a leisurely fishing trip that also served as training, set out to the open sea for a different continent.
Chapter 278: Intermission (Maid) ⑤
Chapter 278 ¨C Intermission (Maid) ¢Ý
¡°We have requested the Empire and the neighboring Kingdom of Bethreal to arrange materials and increase reconstruction support. I know you will be puzzled at first by the intervention of those from the outside world¡¡±
¡°I would gratefully ept their assistance. We thank you¡ Princess of the outside world¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s too modest. You have taken care of Earth and Sadiz for three months. Also, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, Lord Machio, for weing us after your continued istion. We look forward to your continued support as the coordinator of the Nation of Cacretale.¡±
Thanks to the instructions of Princess Phianse and the help of the Imperial Survey team that the Master had ced nearby, the restoration of Cacretale continues.
Of course, the damage this country has suffered is incalcble, and above all, the sense of loss and anxiety over the absence of Kron and Jamdi¡¯el, the two who were the heart and soul of this country, must be great.
But this country was more resilient than we outsiders realize.
They¡¯re working their hardest to move forward and upward.
As proof of that¡¡
¡°Eh-ho, eh-ho, eh-ho, eh-ho¡±
While the adults were busy rebuilding and couldn¡¯t spare much time for the children, Amae quietly jumped rope.
It was used by the adults in the dojo for training, but children can also use it as a toy, which is not strange.
However, Amae looked very serious as she jumped.
¡°Amae~, isn¡¯t she a bit too serious?¡±
¡°Did something happen? Somehow, since she came back¡¡±
Karui and Tsukshi were also smiling wryly.
Yes, Amae, was delivered to Cacretale by the Prince of the Heavens a few days ago.
I heard roughly about what happened from the Heavenly Prince, who had already returned to the Heavenly World.
It seemed that Little man had outwitted the Master and Madam.
When I heard that story, I couldn¡¯t help butugh, although it was inappropriate.
Even now, in a fight, the Master and Madam are the strongest in the world, but Little man outwitted them.
Of course, there must have been advice from the prince, Kron, and especially the hated Great Demon King, but even so, when I heard that the Little man had managed to outmaneuver the Master and Madam with his footwork and made them fall on their asses, I unintentionally clenched my fists.
My heart was pounding.
And I was convinced that if the conditions were met, it would be possible with the current ability of Little man
Yes, that was a few days ago¡ and when Amae came back, she said¡
¡°I promised to get stronger. Older brother, the Goddess, the High Priestess, and Bro also said that if Amae gets stronger, they would rely on me. That¡¯s why I¡¯m getting stronger, Big sister and Karui, I won¡¯t be a hindrance, ya! I¡¯ll jump up and down with this, and I¡¯ll be as strong as Older brother!¡±
Those words were used to persuade Amae who chased after Little man¡ but when I heard them, I thought those words applied to me as well.
¡°Yeah, Amae is right.¡±
¡°Uncle!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll also be increasing the amount of muscle training I do too, in between the reconstruction work. I won¡¯t let Earth beat me.¡±
¡°Un! Uncle will be stronger too!¡±
No, it wasn¡¯t just me, I was keenly aware of my powerlessness in the battle a few days ago¡ it seems to be the same for everyone in this country right now.
Machio pats Amae¡¯s head and gives a big nod.
¡°Wait, no jumping ahead, Machio!¡±
¡°Th, that¡¯s right!¡±
¡°Erm, if that¡¯s the case, us too! This time, we¡¯ll be able to fight alongside Earth!¡±
¡°Ora, muscle training, running and sparring are always wee!¡±
¡°Eat more and get stronger!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to drag him down anymore¡¡±
Of course, Tsukshi and Mortriage¡¯s crew were also smiling and shouting as they cleared away the rubble.
In response, the dojo people and the others all at once¡
¡°It¡¯s a really good country¡ to the point of frustration¡¡±
¡°Princess¡¡±
¡°I¡ and the people of the Empire¡ at this rate¡¡ Earth will abandon us¡¡±
The princess muttered while looking at this spectacle with a dazzling and a somewhatplicated expression.
I understand that feeling painfully.
¡°Moreover, getting stronger¡ huh¡ that¡¯s really it¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±Huh!?¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, I and the princess turned to a voiceing from behind us, and there was Master Rebal who was sweating profusely and steam overflowing from his body.
¡°Rebal, you worked all day yesterday clearing the rubble, so you were told to rest today, right? ¡.. have you been training recklessly?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Take care of yourself a little. You were also badly injured by Paripi.¡±
¡°Pity? You know we couldn¡¯t do anything in that battle, Phianse¡¡±
¡°Rebal¡¡±
This might be the first wall that the children of the Seven Heroes, who were called child prodigies, have faced.
In a way, for the Princess, Rebal, and Fu, who had grown up more smoothly than Little man¡
¡°Yesterday, I found training equipment and stuff used in the dojo under the rubble, so I did some strength training under the blue sky, and I did it in the morning too. It was interesting to see all the equipment for the first time, and they also seem to be able to give you a numerical value for each individual¡¯s strength.¡±
¡°Numerical value?¡±
¡°Yes, and I gave it my all¡¡¡¡ and when I asked the dojo people, it seems that all the numbers I gave were far below Earth.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°Power, speed, visual faculty, every single number¡¡±
Come to think of it, the training equipment in the dojo was like that kind of magic item.
Although I could notpete with the figures of people who specialized in one field, such as Machio¡¯s power, Karui¡¯s speed, Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s eyes, and so on, I was told that my overall power and bnce were quite outstanding.
¡°Well, even if it doesn¡¯t show in the figures, I learned about the tremendous difference in power in that Imperial Match ¡ and since the battle with Paripi, I feel in my heart how far behind I am even more¡ but¡¡±
¡°Rebal¡¡±
¡°Even though I know what Ick¡ how can I develop it? Even if I develop steadily, will I be able to catch up with Earth, who is growing stronger at such a rate¡¡±
It¡¯s probably the first time anyone has heard this. Rebal¡¯s weak voice.
¡°Ah~, no way~¡ What is this bench press? I can¡¯t get any figures at all~ ¡°
¡°Ah¡ Fu¡¡¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you try itter, Princess? Really¡ you¡¯ll find out how amazing Earth¡¯s numbers are when you try it.¡±
At that moment, Master Fu also returned with a tired look on his face.
And just like Master Rebal, his expression was not cheerful.
¡°Princess¡ we¡ how can we be stronger¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡¡±
¡°I suppose we have to ask our parents to train us, but ¡ they seem to be busy¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I guess so¡ it¡¯s been a long time since father trained me in spearmanship¡¡±
¡°But, even if we receive instructions from the teachers at the academy¡ even with the guidance of an Imperial Warrior instructor¡ this may sound impertinent, but¡ but¡¡±
No one can deny Master Fu¡¯s words. Because that¡¯s what everyone thinks.
Naturally, I think so too.
¡°Steady efforts are a matter of course, but ¡ even if we proceed steadily from now on, as Earth is now¡ I don¡¯t think we could reach that level, let alone the Six Supremacy¡¡±
More or less, even I, who has the power of an Advanced Warrior as a qualification, couldn¡¯ty a hand on that Paripi.
¡°I was also thinking. To catch up with him, we definitely need someone¡¯s guidance. Father, Hiro, Mamu, Ryvar, Benlinerve¡ Lord Mikado¡ but everyone is probably too busy right now¡¡±
Even I have to be stronger than I am now.
But the trouble is, we don¡¯t know what we need to do to be stronger.
¡°In the meantime, Lord Hiro and Lady Mamu will be back here soon. Let¡¯s discuss it at that time.¡±
¡°But Sir Hiro is the busiest one, isn¡¯t he? No, he¡¯s skipping a lot of work right now to search for Earth¡¡±
¡°However, there are not many people in this world who have the power of the Seven Heroes or the Six Supremacy, and enough free time to guide us.¡±
Certainly, it is best to consult with the Master ¡ no¡.. I don¡¯t know.
I don¡¯t mean to put it this way, but I don¡¯t think the Master¡¯s senses and talents will be very helpful¡ that¡¯s why Little man¡
¡°¡.. Hmm?¡±
That was then.
Until this moment, we were unaware of anything.
Little man and Kron had forgotten something unbelievable.
Far above us, who were at a loss as to how to proceed¡
¡°Fuwaa~ah¡¡ th¡¯ airing left me a wee bit puckered. Seems Hilua wants to frolic on th¡¯ Surface some more¡ so it goes, I reckon I¡¯ll just head home first.¡±
A huge dragon was yawning.
Chapter 279: Intermission (The Unmerited Swordsman)
Chapter 279 ¨C Intermission (The Unmerited Swordsman)
For me, who is not good at dealing with people, the only people I could call friends were you guys.
But Earth. I¡¯ve always been jealous of you.
¨D¨DFu is the best wizard in the world! Rebal is the best swordsman in the world! Phianse is the best spearmaster in the world! And I¡¯m going to be the strongest ultra hero in the world, better than my father!
You pulled us together and you were always at our center.
Phianse, whom I greatly admire, always looked at you, not at me.
I envied you because you were strong, cheerful, and honest with your feelings.
I wanted to be a man who couldpete with you. I didn¡¯t want to lose.
That¡¯s why I swung my sword hundreds of thousands and thousands of times since I was a child.
The skin of my hands was torn, my blisters were crushed, but I still swung the sword.
I didn¡¯t want to be left behind.
But shortly after entering the Academy¡
¨D¨DOoooh, Rebal won a mock battle against Earth!
¨D¨DRival defeated Earth, the son of the Hero Hiro!
¨D¨DAs expected, the son of the Sword Saint!
To my amazement, I defeated you.
No, I wasn¡¯t the only one.
In overall strength, Phianse.
In the field of magic, Fu.
Everyone has outperformed you in their respective areas.
Maybe it started back then.
We gradually began to grow apart from each other.
¨D¨DHey hey, Earth, Rebal, Princess, let¡¯s have lunch together~
We were neverpletely estranged because Fu was the mediator between us.
But even so, our rtionship was no longer the same as it had been in the past.
¨D¨DStudying abroad? You and Fu¡ I see¡ well, do your best.
¨D¨DYeah. Earth¡¡ I¡¯lle back stronger¡
¨D¨DHaha, it¡¯s still not good enough for you¡
I was seething.
I was also irritated by Earth¡¯s friendlyugh and his somewhat carefree attitude.
Myplex feelings for Phianse were also there, and I couldn¡¯t get rid of them.
Despite these feelings, I was able to experience growth by meeting powerful people and warriors from other countries.
At times, when the country was in danger, I was sent out and was able to defeat the attacking dragons in deadly battle.
This, along with the title of Dragon yer, gave me absolute confidence in my own strength.
I am no longer the same person I was when I was always chasing after Earth.
I am stronger.
I thought that if I were the current me, I would be able to confidently tell Phianse about my feelings.
But¡¡
In the Graduation Match, I fought against Earth and was defeated¡
I couldn¡¯t protect Earth from his anguish, or from the voices of others¡
And I was unable to do anything useful against the enemy that Earth, who had fled the country, was fighting¡
Is this any different from when I was chasing after Earth? No, it is not. Earth has already gone too far ahead for me to see.
The words I swore in the Heavenly World, ¡°Someday I will be Earth¡¯s strength,¡± were not false. But to achieve that¡
¡°¡¡ D¡.. Dragon? H, how enormous¡¡±
A huge dragon was flying in the sky above us.
And the moment I saw it, my whole body trembled.
¡°W-What is this¡ preposterous¡¡±
It had no hostility or murderous intent toward us.
However, just by being there, my whole body shrank in fear. If you touch that reverse scale, everyone here will perish¡ I understood it by sight.
¡°Wha, what is that thing!¡±
¡°Th, the hell¡¡±
¡°Wh, whoooa¡¡±
¡°Nuh¡ eh¡¡±
I wasn¡¯t the only one. Phianse, Sadiz, Fu, and a man named Machio, who seemed to be a powerful man, must have also felt it.
Paripi was by far the strongest of anyone we had ever fought.
It far surpasses that Paripi¡
¡°Hmm~? Ah, there you are¡ Nuwahahaha, a few wee folk with their mouths agape¡ nu? Oh¡ ho¡¡±
The dragon noticed our gaze and looked at us, a smile on his lips.
Over here¡ Huh!?
¡°Come on!¡±
¡°Not good!¡±
¡°Guh¡ everyone, get out of here now¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
The dragon suddenly descended. It¡¯s not the level of opponent to fight or anything like that.
At least, I¡¯ll buy a few seconds¡
¡°Oh will you stop. I¡¯m not going to eat you.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eh!!!???¡±¡±¡±
The dragon¡ er¡¡ spoke¡
¡°Hmm¡ houhou¡¡ uh-huh. This scent¡¡ yesh~¡¡ I thought th¡¯ bloodline was exterminated by my friend¡¡±
The dragonnded in the ruined city with and shaking thud, looking down at us with its huge body and smiling somewhat happily¡ who¡¡
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Is it¡ looking at Sadiz?
With a somewhat happy and nostalgic look in its eyes¡
¡°I met my friend¡¯s disciple a few days ago¡ and th¡¯ss who is connected to him¡ that alone was not enough to pique my interest, and I finally became interested after he exposed his soul to me¡ Nuwahahahaha, th¡¯ descendants of that one are still something special. How unmanly of me.¡±
¡°Uh¡ wh, who the hell are you¡¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, I¡¯m ¡®Vasr, th¡¯ Dragon King of Hades¡¯. Also, th¡¯ rival of ¡®th¡¯ Female Hero, Kaguya¡¯, your distant ancestor. Nuwahahahahaha¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Hmm? You don¡¯t know th¡¯ face, do you? Well, that was a long time ago. But because of that¡ I didn¡¯t participate in th¡¯ war between Humanity and th¡¯ Demon King army¡¡±
Confusing words¡¡ ku? Dragon King of Hades? No way¡. Hmm? No, no, Vasr? No, no, no¡
¡°H, hey, Rebal, Fu¡ I, I just heard a tremendous auditory hallucination¡¡±
¡°Me too, I heard names that appear in picture books¡ and Sadiz¡¯s ancestor¡¡±
Both Phianse and Fu ¡ apparently I¡¯m not hearing things wrong¡
And even though we were given names from fairy tales, I took the liberty of understanding that if this dragon called itself that, then it must be real.
So much so that this dragon¡
¡°Oh¡ huge. Bigger than Hilly!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Amae!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
Oh no! While everyone was cowering in fear and speechless, a child who didn¡¯t know anything¡ Earth¡¯s little sister ran up to the dragon with a twinkle in her eye¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Hmm? Hilly? Oh, weess, do you mean Hilua?¡±
¡°Un! Hilly is my friend!¡±
¡°Yesh! Nuwahahaha, I am Hilua¡¯s father. I thank you for befriending my son!¡±
¡°Hilly¡¯s dad!?¡±
Hilly? Hilua? Was it, if I¡¯m not mistaken, that winged hippo that Earth had with him¡?
¡°Hi, Hilly is the Dragon King of Hades Vasr¡¯s¡ is that what you mean, Little man¡ what a fact to hide¡ also, I¡¯m Kaguya¡¯s? Argh, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s what¡¡±
We don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on anymore.
Even Sadiz, who had guessed the circumstances to some extent, was holding her head.
But as for me, I am certain of two things.
First of all, I¡¯m too ashamed to call myself a Dragon yer. Not after seeing a real dragon like this.
And the other thing.
I don¡¯t know why I thought this, even though it wasn¡¯t exined to me that way.
The realm where these dragons reside.
That might be the scenery that Earth is aiming for and trying to see¡
Chapter 280: Intermission (Female Ninja) â‘£
Chapter 280 ¨C Intermission (Female Ninja) ¢Ü
Honey had mended the rift caused by the misunderstanding with Phianse-hime.
I think that¡¯s a good thing. It makes me sad that Honey was quarreling with his childhood friend. And it would reduce the number of people I would invite to our wedding in the future.
Sadiz-san won¡¯t be apanying Honey on his journey after all. From the bottom of my heart, I¡¯m d that she won¡¯t. Honey was also a boy. There was no guarantee that he wouldn¡¯t be enticed by Sadistic Oppai.
And Kron-san, who is apparently my greatest rival for now, left this country with Honey, but after that, they will go their separate ways¡ I¡¯m really d¡ No, really.
So, although the women who adore Honey have be lively, there are currently no women who apany Honey.
If so, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity¡ but¡
¡°Why?! My Space-Time Ninjutsu isn¡¯t activating!?¡±
A technique of the highest difficulty that twists space and leaps one to the person marked with it.
A technique that should allow me to leap to Honey¡¯s side anytime, anywhere.
By using this to support Honey from the shadows and keep watching his every move, my strategy for staying one step ahead of the other rivals quickly fell apart.
¡°No way¡ did something happen to Honey?¡±
The worst case imaginable.
No¡ I can¡¯t be¡ Honey¡¡ you¡¡ what about our children?
Sasuke!? Sakura!?
Our¡¡ no no no, just hope the best for Honey.
Honey is safe for sure.
Then there are other possible reasons¡ if I can¡¯t activate the jutsu, it means my ability iscking.
Yes, that is the most likely¡
¡°Huh!? Eh¡¡ eh?¡±
At that moment, the intense pressure I felt from afar gave me goosebumps all over my body¡ tte, wait?!
¡°Wh, what, i, is that thing!?¡±
A huge dragon was approaching the town¡ not good!
¡°Please, be in time!¡±
Before I knew it, I was running. But even at this distance, I could tell.
No matter how you think about it, it¡¯s not an opponent I can handle.
It¡¯s much stronger than anyone I¡¯ve ever faced.
But¡¡
¡°It¡¯s Vasr, th¡¯ Dragon King of the Hades! Weess, you may call me whatever you like, yesh?¡±
Vasa¡¡ huh? The dragon spoke¡ Vasr? Huh? Somehow, the name I often heard in old tales ¡ but before that!
At the feet of that dragon, Amae!
That¡¯s bad! Amae is Honey¡¯s precious sister, in other words¡ she¡¯s my sister!
¡°If it¡¯s Vasr¡ then, Vissy!!¡±
¡°Ngah!!?? Wh, wha, what!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Waaaaaaaaaaiitt!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡Eh, eh, eh!?¡±
Amae¡¯s pure and innocent eyes sparkled, and at her words, the dragon froze with its mouth open, the people around me were stunned, and I plunged headfirst into the ground in front of Amae¡
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Shinobu¡¡±
¡°Oh, uh¡ ah~¡¡¡±
Amae, called the dragon whose name appeared in legends and myths ¡°Vissy¡±.
I was kind of blown away by the whole thing, and couldn¡¯t get a word out while rubbing my forehead a little.
¡°N, nuh, weess. Vissy won¡¯t do! I am male!¡±
¡°But Hilly is Hilly, so Vissy is Vissy¡ then, Vassy!¡±
¡°Nuoooh, why that one!?¡±
I, it¡¯s amazing¡ if this dragon should sigh right now, everyone here will probably die¡ and yet Amae was smiling instead of being terrified¡
¡°Un~¡¡ then, Vaz.¡±
¡°Nuu¡ w, well, that¡¯s reasonable¡¡±
And I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s real or not, but the Dragon King of Hades, who seemed so strong that I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if it really was, epted apromise¡ well, as expected of Honey and my sister¡ th, that¡¯s scary.
¡°A, Amae, it¡¯s dangerous enough!¡±
¡°Hey, it¡¯sing down!¡±
¡°¡¡ get behind me¡¡±
¡°Shinobu, get up!¡±
¡°Nuu, this situation, what¡¯s happening¡¡±
¡°And, anyway, the danger¡ is there any at all?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡±
Anyway, with Amae being too defenseless, everyone was in front of the dragon as if to protect Amae at once.
Of course, I stood up.
And then¡¡
¡°Hmph. Well well¡ Kaguya¡¯s descendant¡ Have you awoken to th¡¯ Moonlight Eyes yet? From the looks of it¡ you seem to have a decent amount of talent, but¡ well, you still don¡¯t have th¡¯ power yet. Such a shame.¡±
¡°Huh¡ m, Moonlight Eyes¡ of those three great magic eyes¡¡±
¡°And th¡¯ other humans too¡ Hmmm, hoho¡¡±
Dragon¡¡ Vasr grinned¡ and nced at us while nodding, as if assessing us¡
¡°Well, they¡¯re not as strong as that cheeky littled who summoned me, and his bride.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeeeh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°In all fairness,pared to him, your faces are much too feeble. Th¡¯ world after my friend¡¯s death¡ I wondered if th¡¯ winds of a new era would blow hotly like that littled and his bride¡ or not so hot?¡±
Words thatpletely condescend and ridicule us.
Who the hell are youparing us to¡
¡°Um¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that time, Sadiz asked about the state of the dragon¡
¡°Vasr, Dragon King of Hades¡ um¡¡ the ones who summoned you¡ do you mean Little man and Kron?¡±
¡°Th¡¯ names elude me, but they were th¡¯ littled andss who contracted Hilua, and they summoned me.¡±
¡°¡as I thought¡¡±
What? Honey and¡ Kron-san? Huh? Bride? He said Bride!?
Why Honey and the Dragon King!?
¡°E, Earth¡¯s summoned him!?¡±
¡°No way, Earth can¡¯t use Summoning Magic¡¡±
¡°And what¡¯s more, he summoned the Dragon King of Hades!? Or rather, that hippopotamus really is the Dragon King of Hades¡¯¡¡±
The princess¡¯ group, Honey¡¯s childhood friends, were also surprised.
Certainly, to have me so surprised, as expected of Honey.
But¡¡ Honey¡¯s bride is¡
¡°Oh, Vaz! Amae¡ is getting stronger! I¡¯m not weak!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah?¡±
¡°Older brother promised! Amae¡ will get stronger!¡±
Hey, that¡¯s why Amae!?
Her cheeks were pouted and she looked cute, but what are you doing!
Don¡¯t give me too much stimtion¡
¡°Nuhahahahahaha, good spirit.¡±
However, the dragonughed wildly at Amae¡¯s words¡
¡°In a way, you have th¡¯ greatest potential. Humans¡ at your age, are in what is called th¡¯ ¡®Golden Age¡¯, a time when th¡¯ nervous system is in a remarkable state of development¡ in other words, how you spend your time during this period will have a great impact on your future abilities.¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ er, an old friend of mine, once shared his great wisdom over drinks¡¡±
Contrary to his grandeur, he spoke in a rather theoretical and inappropriate manner¡ but halfway through, he turned his face away awkwardly.
He was a rather unusual dragon, that¡¯s for sure.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I¡¯ve picked up a new web novel to trante after finishing Maiden Game in Hard Mode. It¡¯s short with only 49 chapters, and I was surprised no one picked it up even though there is a Manga Adaptation.
God-ying Demon King
Do check it out! The first chapter is up now and will update every Monday with one Wednesday Bonus chapter a month!
Chapter 281: Talent
Spread the nerves to the surroundings. That¡¯s literally what I was told.
Expand Magical Radar over a wide area.
I cast a fishing line from the deck of the ship sailing at sea.
Until now, all I had to do was drop the line and wait for the fish to bite. It was just a matter of luck.
But not anymore.
¡°I see¡ no, I feel¡ what kind of world lies beneath the surface of the sea¡¡±
By spreading my magic over a wide area, I could see everything that existed within the scope of my magic.
Schools of fish¡¡ their number¡¡ their size¡¡ their swimming speed¡ their formation¡¡ everything.
¡ºSo¡ now you know, what do you do?¡»
I nodded at the words of Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me, and focused on the bait on the hook of the hanging line.
The moment the fish swims around¡ I matched its movements, and looking ahead, the moment the fish saw the bait, I moved my wrist slightly, as if to lure it in, making the bait look as if it were alive.
At that moment, it bit.
¡°Here! It bit! A bite!¡±
Vibrations, shock, and weight were transmitted to my hands. And the force of the fish¡¯s resistance to being caught.
Truly, it was a battle between man and fish.
¡ºIndeed. Fishing has naught to do with luck. Man and fish read each other, deceive each other,pare strength, and technique¡ consolidate everything to face each other¡ tis truly a duel!¡»
¡°Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssshuuu!!!! ¡°
I pulled up the supple rod and the fish was tossed out of the sea, soaring through the air.
As I watched the fish jump onto the deck, sshing and bouncing, I struck a guts pose.
¡°Oh, that fe, looks like he caught another one.¡±
¡°Ah. How many is that?¡±
¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a man of the sea, but he¡¯s a big deal.¡±
I put my catch in the box and felt good about the situation.
Hearing the voices of admiration from the crewmen made me feel even better.
It¡¯s a big difference from the ship voyage in our era.
¡°And above all¡¡±
¡°I know, on such an unstable, swaying ship¡¡±
¡°He¡¯s fishing while on one tiptoe, that¡¯s amazing.¡±
Come on, praise me more.
Yes, there was another training besides Magical Radar while fishing.
It was to stand barefoot on one toe on this rocking ship and keep my bnce. After a while, do it on the opposite leg.
There was no point in just activating the radar. It was useless if you cannot activate it naturally while fighting in battle.
So, while doing other things, I also activated the radar. That was the onboard training that Tre¡¯ainar gave me.
And it¡¯s working out for me now.
¡ºYour skills have improved, to a tremendous degree. In the beginning, the fish were slippery and untouchable, and the bait unappealing. A pathetic disy characteristic of a pompous twat.¡»
¡¸Sh, shut up¡ when I was little, Sadiz took care of everything from the bait to holding the fishing line¡¡¹
Certainly, at first I had a hard time with things other than training.
But I¡¯m used to it now.
I worked part-time at a fishing port with a unique fishy smell, now I don¡¯t think anything about it.
¡ºMy oh my, that maid has spoiled you from a very early age¡¡»
¡¸W, well¡¡¹
¡ºI suppose you had no inconvenience, but are you not d to have graduated from her in Cacretale.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Hmm¡¡¹
That¡¯s right.
Since leaving the Imperial City, I have survived in the mountains, interacted with hoodlums, homestayed on an isted ind, traveled to the sky, sailed on a ship to another continent, worked part-time at a fishing port, and now have gone to the past during wartime and fished on a ship.
And along the way, I¡¯ve fought the Six Supremacy and the Dragon King of Hades¡ it¡¯s been intense¡ but¡¡
¡¸When I got sent to the past world like this, I panicked about what I was going to do¡ maybe I¡¯ve now gotten used to it¡¡¹
¡ºIt just means that you have be mentally stronger. Tis a good thing. Compared to the time when you sympathized with the rabbit you caught in the mountains and let it go¡¡»
Sure, if I had been spoiled by Sadiz for a long time¡ I¡¯m grateful to Sadiz, and I¡¯ve always loved her¡ maybe Tre¡¯ainar was right, maybe I would have been happy with that.
But maybe I wouldn¡¯t have had the joy of feeling a sense of aplishment by catching a fresh fish like this.
I might not have gained confidence in myself.
¡¸The only thing is I made Sadiz cry ¡ it was heartbreaking¡¡¹
But the only thing that broke my heart was making Sadiz sad.
It gouged at her trauma.
That I chose to go with Tre¡¯ainar. She sent me off properly, but¡ in all honesty¡
¡ºEven so, it was after much deliberation. That maid was always concerned about you, and even though she had talent, she likely had not been able to develop that talent¡ she is still young¡ she could still grow depending on her mindset.¡»
¡¸¡¡ huh? Is that so?¡¹
I was a little surprised to hear Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s assessment of Sadiz.
I thought Sadiz was already strong enough, but she¡¯s still growing?
Well, even though she¡¯s older than me, she¡¯s still a teenager, so it¡¯s not strange¡
¡ºCertainly, she may still seem strong enough, but that is just the circumstance in the present peaceful world. She has no experience with bloody training or life-threatening battle¡ therefore, she stood no chance against Paripi. However, her talent alone is substantial.¡»
¡¸I-I see¡¡¹
¡ºAnd most of all¡ that girl is apparently of legitimate Shiznautmy descent¡ with further growth ¡ that power¡ she may unlock the ¡®Moonlight Eye¡¯¡¡»
¡¸Yeah¡¡¡¡ hmm?¡¹
Hmm? Huh? Just now, I think he just said something quite amazing¡ huh? Sadiz ¡ Moonlight Eyes?
The Moonlight Eye, one of the three Great Magic Eyes¡ huh?
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Eh, ou, huh?¡±
While I was engrossed in the conversation, Espie called me from behind.
Before, she got frustrated because she couldn¡¯t catch any fish¡
¨D¨DI, I need, to concentrate, so I¡¯ll go over there and fish! I¡¯m going to catch a surprise for Big brother!
And Espie stopped fishing with me, and was fishing a little farther away.
When I was called, I hurriedly turned around¡
¡°I¡.. I win¡¡ yay?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡®Oooouuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh, in, incredibleee!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
The sailors also cheered.
Overhead, Espie was lightly floating¡ how do I put it¡ a huge¡¡ face?
¡ºA Megaton Hammerhead Shark¡ tis quite interesting¡¡»
¡°O, oh¡ Espie¡¡±
Of course, the fish I¡¯ve been catching so far weren¡¯t small, but the size was iparable.
The fishes I was catching were about the size of this shark¡¯s bait.
But¡¡
¡ºTis huge and ferocious¡ as such, to catch this properly¡ one would need a suitable fishing rod¡ not such cheap rentals.¡»
That¡¯s right. I nodded at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words¡
¡°¡¡ Espie¡¡ you cheated, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Huh!? And I didn¡¯t! I¡¯m not lying! I, caught it seriously! I didn¡¯t trap it with telekinesis! So, I win! Big brother will listen to me today! So, you¡¯re going to carry me around for the rest of today!¡±
When I asked her with a reproachful look, she was clearly not fishing but using her ability to catch fish, Espie told a tant lie with her eyes swimming wildly.
I mean, this is, wow¡
¡ºWell, in terms of ability and talent, this one is special as well¡¡»
And, Tre¡¯ainar sighed in amazement.
Special Shoutout to all my Patrons for the Support!!!

Chapter 282: To Nurture
Chapter 282 ¨C To Nurture
For the time being, I was sitting on the deck and lecturing Espie.
¡°Listen, Espie. You shouldn¡¯t cheat. But you lied to cover it up, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡ Because¡¡±
¡°Because, you shouldn¡¯t.¡±
Espie, while sitting on the floor facing me, turned away with her lips pursed. She seemed to be sulking.
But I had to educate her properly here, and before I knew it, I was doing something like this.
¡°Thing is¡ I would have hugged you regardless of the game¡¡±
¡°Huh!? Was that so!?¡±
¡°If you didn¡¯t cheat and lie¡¡±
¡°I, er, I lied! Yes Yes! I lied!¡±
Surprised by my words, Espie turned her face here, raised her hand impatiently and confessed.
¡°Big brother, I cheated and lied! I trapped the fish tightly with telekinesis and lifted it up! I told you the truth, right? Yes, I did!¡±
Trapped it tightly, she did such a horrible thing¡ and to such a big fish without hesitation.
¡ºFloating ability, psychokinesis, shockwave, this one¡¯s abilities are not magic, and can be applied¡ well, even a fish of such mass is but a trifle to this one¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words made my head hurt.
She opened her arms, childishly asking for a hug¡ still, I¡¯m tempted to say that she¡¯s one of the Seven Heroes ~, but this ce ¡
¡°No. No hug for you.¡±
¡°Why!? I told you honestly! Big brother is a liar!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who lied first.¡±
¡°Uh~, Big brother is bullying! I¡¯ll blow you away, okay?¡±
¡°Blow me away, that is something you say when you surely have no self-restraint, right?!¡±
¡°I surely don¡¯t!¡±
Espie was pissed off and pouting, but the game was null and void anyway.
¡ºShe has shown a lot of self-restraint so far¡ you have shown her kindness and reminded her selfishness¡ I suppose she does not know how much more or less to take.¡»
¡¸Geez¡ and she was so confused by the gift of a cheap ribbon¡¡¹
Somehow, instead of just going along with Espie, I have to teach her these little things in the future as well.
I don¡¯t want to go so far as to call it parenting, but¡ well, I¡¯d like her to teach me a little more about Bethreal, the Allied Forces, and my parents!
¡ºWell¡ how about thinking of it as an experience for you as well?¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡?¡¹
And so, Tre¡¯ainar whispered to me with a wry smile.
Eh? No way, you¡¯re not telling me to raise a child, are you?
¡ºIn Cacretale, you have trained yourself by training and advising Mortriage¡¯s group. Well, it was only for a few months, so it was half-finished, but even so, going from a position where you were always being trained by me to a position where you were training others instead should have given you some insight.¡»
I could certainly agree with those words.
As a person who gives advice, I felt a certain amount of responsibility, and since I could not say anything out of line, I seriously studied their movements and strengths to determine the characteristics of Mortriage, Oratski, Mobner, and Budeo.
¡ºTis the same. You have been pampered until now¡ this time¡¡ why not put yourself in a position to nurture others? What it was like for your father, mother, that maid¡ it might be a good opportunity to learn about such things.¡»
¡¸N¡ nurture¡ Espie isn¡¯t my child¡¡¹
¡ºThe maid is not your biological parent, nor is she your actual sibling. But still, she nurtured you with love, did she not?¡»
¡¸Th, that¡¯s¡ true, but¡¡¹
¡ºAnd in a way¡ tis something¡ I cannot teach you, because I do not know what it is like¡¡»
It doesn¡¯t seem like he had any children, so it¡¯s not wrong for Tre¡¯ainar to say that, but¡ well, I have been trained by Tre¡¯ainar, but¡ I don¡¯t feel like I was being nurtured with enoughpassion¡
¡ºI, inin, in any case!¡»
¡¸Oh¡¡¹
¡ºY, you should also learn the difficulty of raising another! Tis not just about pampering, tis about seriously considering the future of others as well as your own! Try it!¡»
Ugh, he read my mind again¡ Tre¡¯ainar started talking very fast, but was he embarrassed? When I thought about that, I got red at again, so let¡¯s change the subject¡ that I¡¯m not just training her, I¡¯m nurturing her ¡¡ and learning how difficult it is to do so¡
¡°Big brother? What¡¯s wrong? Is it, are you going to pick me up?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
And Espie looked into my face with expectant eyes¡ but I knew I shouldn¡¯t spoil her here.
¡°No, no, nope.¡±
¡°Boooo! Stingy!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not stingy!¡±
But, it seems that raising her is going to take a lot of work.
Moreover, she¡¯s a child who has the power to destroy various things just by throwing a tantrum.
I¡¯m worried about her future¡
¡°No~, but it¡¯s a really big deal, you two are really awesome siblings!¡±
¡°¡±??¡±¡±
At that moment, some old sailors started talking to me and Espie, who were sitting face to face on deck.
¡°Yeah. You caught a shark this big, you know.¡±
¡°You got a bright future ahead of you, little missy.¡±
Espie used her ability, but the grownups who didn¡¯t know thought she caught it with her own skill¡ well, in a sense, her ability is also a skill, but in any case, Espie¡¯s eyes were shining as they looked at the shark she caught.
¡°Even the fishermen at the fishing port ain¡¯t this good¡ this could be¡¡±
¡°If it¡¯s just the two of you, maybe¡ you could get that¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ you might even be able to catch the ¡®Lord of the Ind Seas¡¯ as well.¡±
¡°¡±Lord?¡±¡±
And in the course of the conversation, the grownups mentioned something that was a bit strange.
¡°Lord? Is there such a thing around here?¡±
I had never heard of such a thing on the boat trip, so I was a little curious.
¡°Oh, they call it the ¡®Great Sea King Squid¡¯¡ it¡¯s an infamous monster among sailors. A ferocious creature that is said to have sunk many fishing boats and even warships.¡±
¡°S¡ Squid?¡±
¡°Yeah. Like a phantom, there¡¯s no telling when or where it will appear, and very few people have seen it, but it definitely exists. As proof, there is a huge bounty on the creature, and many hunters are still searching for it.¡±
¡°Hm~m¡ squid¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why this ship is also equipped with cannons and all sorts of things. Well, it¡¯s just a countermeasure against the Demon King¡¯s Army.¡±
Just in case, I looked to Tre¡¯ainar beside me¡
¡ºIndeed. I certainly have heard of such a creature, but never have I seen it, and I have heard rumors that someone somewhere yed it before I noticed¡¡»
¡¸Huh? Is that so?¡¹
¡ºWell, I suppose it has yet to be killed at this time of the era¡¡»
¡¸Hmm¡ I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if I was the one who killed it ?.¡¹
¡ºHeh, what a im¡ such deration¡¡»
I was joking around, but Tre¡¯ainar muttered in a surprisingly serious tone, so I thought, ¡°No way¡¡±, but I also thought, ¡°But then, no way¡±.
And then¡¡
¡°Alright, I¡¯ve made up my mind!¡±
¡°Hmm? Espie?¡±
Espie suddenly stood up, clenching her fists tightly.
¡°I¡¯ll catch it!¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°And this time¡ Hug! Big brother, let¡¯s have another game!¡±
It¡¯s a matter that would terrify a normal person, but Espie was rather enthusiastic.
Well, she¡¯s one of the Seven Heroes, and she¡¯s powerful enough to challenge a Six Supremacy single-handedly, so it¡¯s not unreasonable.
Surprisingly, what really killed that squid ¡
¡°Ahooooooy, there¡¯s something huge floating straight ahead!!!!¡±
Suddenly, the wild voice of one of the sailors rang out.
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know! But look at it!¡±
¡°¡¡ U, ugh, what the hell is that!?¡±
The sailors rushed to the bow of the ship, and Espie and I followed.
And we saw it too.
¡°Oh¡ there¡¯s something there, Big brother.¡±
¡°Yeah¡ it¡¯s huge¡ what is that?¡±
A huge object floating in the sea ahead. Even from a distance, the figure is visible.
The fact that it can be clearly seen from this distance means that it is quiterge.
It may be bigger than this ship¡?
¡º¡¡ enormous¡¡ tis a cephalopod¡¡»
¡¸That¡¯s¡¡¹
¡ºPrecisely, we were just talking about¡¡»
¡¸Eh!? Then¡¡¹
Instinctively, I also lean forward.
Certainly, I think I see a few¡¡ tentacle-like things¡
But the thing that bothered me the most was¡
¡¸That is¡ already¡¡¹
¡ºUh-huh¡ tis dead.¡»
¡¸Huh!?¡¹
I knew it. A mysterious object floating in the sea¡ no, the creature is already dead.
The carcass was floating in the sea.
But how could something so huge¡
¡ºWait, look, near the carcass¡ a small boat¡ is someone onboard?¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
At Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion, I take a closer look.
And sure enough, there is a small boat floating¡ but I can¡¯t clearly see who or what kind of person is on it.
But Tre¡¯ainar and I would soon find out who it was.
And in a way, the one I¡¯m going to nurture¡
Wasn¡¯t Espie alone.
Chapter 283: First Meeting
Chapter 283 ¨C First Meeting
A squid bigger than a ship. That¡¯s truly a monster.
It was understandable that it was considered dangerous and had a bounty on its head.
The only problem was that the monster was dead.
And it wasn¡¯t just dead.
As the ship approached it, the situation ¡
¡°Uh, ugh¡¡±
¡°Wow¡ it¡¯s all, sploshy sploshy, Big brother.¡±
Espie said it in a cute way, but it was a reaction unique to Espie, who has experience in war, and it actually was quite gory.
The head of what appeared to be a giant squid¡ was crushed as if it had been struck by something huge, and its many limbs have been carved and smashed.
It had clearly been ¡°brutally ughtered by someone¡±.
¡°Oh, wa, wh, what¡¯s going on!¡±
¡°I, I can¡¯t believe it¡¡±
¡°This is, who would do this¡¡±
So, who did this?
And I could see the figure of the guy who probably knew the answer.
¡°Hey, there¡¯s someone over there!¡±
¡°Oh, really, in a small boat¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°Wait, wh, what¡¯s that?¡±
The sailors also noticed his presence, and at the same time cried out in surprise.
That¡¯s only natural¡
¡°Huh? Wh¡. eh? A child?¡±
I was the same.
¡°Big brother! There¡¯s someone¡ a small boy!¡±
Yes, the one on the small boat was small in stature¡ or rather, a kid that was not much different from Espie.
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
Then the kid on the small boat turned around and looked back at us.
I couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
Just like when I first met the child Espie, as if there was no sign of life or hope in his eyes¡ huh?
¡º¡¡ Hmm?¡»
¡¸¡¡ Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡º¡¡ unh¡¡»
¡¸Hey¡¡¹
However, the face of the kid¡ or rather, he looked very familiar¡
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Silence. The kid turned to us and remained speechless, and we were speechless too, and the atmosphere was heavy.
Then, he noticed us, and even though we were in his field of vision, he just looked at us as if he didn¡¯t show any interest or concern.
¡°¡¡ Hmph.¡±
Eventually, the kid decided we didn¡¯t matter and turned to face forward.
¡°¡±What? Won¡¯t you say anything!?''¡±
At that moment, all the crew members of the ship made a retort at the same time.
Then the kid turned around again¡
¡°So noisy¡ your breath stinks¡ don¡¯t just show up and scream in droves¡ are you trying to rile me up?¡±
Wow¡¡ very touchy, isn¡¯t he?
But, none of the grownups have said anything ¡°cheeky¡± or ¡°annoying¡± to the kid.
He was a mysterious and creepy kid who stood next to the carcass of arge monster that seemed to be The Lord of the Ind Seas.
No wonder we were swallowed up by the strangeness of it all¡
¡°Aaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!¡±
And then, Espie shouted out loud.
And while pointing at the monster¡¯s carcass and trembling¡
¡°Th, that¡¯s¡ is that the squid with the prize¡?¡±
¡°¡¡?¡±
¡°Hey¡ is that bounty!?¡±
¡°¡¡ well, yes, but¡ is there something wrong?¡±
The kid answered Espie¡¯s question in a t voice, but Espie gritted her teeth in frustration at his words.
¡°Ugh~¡¡ that¡¡ I was supposed to blow it away¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°I, if I beat it up¡ Big brother would hug me¡ uh~~, I was supposed to blow it away!!¡±
Is that right!?
That¡¯s what everyone would have thought.
For Espie, it seemed that the feeling of having her prey stolen was greater than the fact that the kid had defeated such a huge monster, and she slumped down on the deck with a pout.
Then the kid sighed at Espie¡¯s words.
¡°You? Hmm~¡¡ good grief. What a noisy, brainless girl.¡±
¡°Huh? ¡¡ just now¡¡ what did you say? About me¡ huh?¡±
¡°So you¡¯re not only dumb, you¡¯re deaf too.¡±
¡°Mm, mmmmmmm!!!!¡±
Oh, Espie¡¯s cheeks are puffed out and she¡¯s furious.
¡°Hey hey, stop it.¡±
¡°But, Big brother!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, okay okay.¡±
And this time, I thought.
I see, their first meeting and first impression were the worst¡
¡°Hey, hey, sonny! That looks like the Great Sea King Squid, but, um, did you really do this?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you tell just by looking? You¡¯re an adult, but you¡¯re not very smart.¡±
¡°Ah, oh, eh, oh¡¡±
¡°Can you please get out of my way already? I must now cut off the necessary parts to prove thepletion of the subjugation.¡±
¡°Ah, w, wait! Hey, wh, who are you!?¡±
And at the question of the sailor, the kid let out a small sigh¡
¡°I¡¯m ¡®yer¡¯, I¡¯m a Hunter.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeeh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
I knew it. Tre¡¯ainar and I smiled wryly when we heard the name.
¡°yer, that rumored boy genius!?¡±
¡°The so-called Ironheart, or child prodigy¡ that yer!?¡±
At the same time, there were astonished voices from the surroundings.
It seemed that he was famous even in this era.
¡°Ha, haha¡ h, hey, yer! If you want, I can strap it to this ship and carry it for you. If you caught such a huge giant squid, I¡¯d like to show it to the people in the harbor!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm? What? Do you want to sell me a favor and get a piece of my earnings? You¡¯re a lowly adult.¡±
¡°Um, no, that¡¯s not what I meant¡¡±
¡°Well, but¡ then¡ I won¡¯t have to cut this and get all sorts of stters that make my body smell¡ I guess I¡¯ll ask you to do that. How much money do you want?¡±
¡°Oh, ooh, I don¡¯t need any money! It¡¯s just, I¡¯d rather show everyone at the harbor¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t take favors from others, I won¡¯t owe anything. That¡¯s it.¡±
¡°Ah, oh, oh¡¡±
Well, that¡¯s the kind of attitude he has toward everyone.
He also responded coldly to the grownup sailor¡¯s question.
Even if the other party is an adult, he will throw harsh words straight at them. There was no honorific or respect for the elderly.
I mean, the wording from just a while ago was not that of a child¡
¡º¡¡ you do not have enough respect either¡¡»
¡¸Yes yes, I revere my master¡ but still¡¡¹
Well, leaving aside the inner exchange, in any case, it doesn¡¯t change the fact that he was a cocky kid.
But at the same time, I know he was an amazing guy.
¡¸So that¡¯s the shopkeeper¡¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm¡¡»
In the future, I asked Tre¡¯ainar to tell me about his background, but actually seeing it like this was still different.
In the first ce, how did he defeat such a big monster with such a small body¡
¡°Phew¡ yotto¡¡±
Then, yer jumped onto the ship after the conversation.
Standing in the same space like this, I could see that he gave off an even more unique aura.
¡°Uh~, ugh~¡¡¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
And Espie growled at yer while clinging to my legs.
¡°Good grief, you¡¯re like a child pampered by your family¡ so quick to get angry and selfish ¡ you¡¯re a shameful child.¡±
No, both you and Espie are children¡
¡°Unyu!? I¡¯m not shameful! I get along with Big brother, so it¡¯s okay!¡±
¡°Nonsense¡ don¡¯t stare at me if you don¡¯t need anything. It¡¯s annoying.¡±
¡°Th, thi, thiiiiiiiiiis!¡±
Oh~~, enough!
¡°Stop!¡±
¡°Ggu, b, big brother!¡±
Espie was about to snap and jump at any moment, but before that, I grabbed her and stopped her.
Even while I held her, Espie tried to rampage with her legs iling, I was also getting a headache.
¡°Geez¡ so, calm down¡ and you too, okay?¡±
¡°Hmm? Are you talking about me?¡±
¡°Yeah. That¡¯s too much¡ don¡¯t be cold to girls, okay? For girls¡ treat with tender care¡±
At that time, I thought I would casually say something, but I was feeling a little sensitive about a lot of thingstely¡ Sadiz, the princess and so on¡
¡ºRight, boomerang!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was in the mood to poke it in.
But then, to me¡
¡°¡¡ What did you just say¡¡±
yer snickered.
¡°I¡¯m not interested in other people. I don¡¯t care about anyone else. I fight alone, I live alone¡ I don¡¯t want to be lectured by family members who pamper and spoil each other.¡±
¡°¡¡ you¡ where did you learn that kind ofnguage?¡±
¡°Hmph.¡±
Saying that, yer turned on her heel with cold eyes and walked away.
In the future, he was so interested in me, and he would be crazy about Curry¡ people change¡
Yes, speaking of change¡
¡°Uh~~, whaaat is, that boy! Hmph, such a potty mouth! And gloomy! I¡.. hate boys like that! Bleh! Weirdo.¡±
Incidentally, these twoter became lovers and were about to get married more than a decadeter¡ I want to make a retort, but since only me and Tre¡¯ainar know about it, I decided to keep it to myself.
Chapter 284: A Troublesome Kid
Chapter 284 ¨C A Troublesome Kid
Espie was angry at yer¡¯s edgy attitude.
It made me wonder how they could end up as lovers after an encounter like that, but anyway, Espie was in a bad mood.
I wondered how I could appease her, but it was surprisingly easy.
¡°Fish ish, sho gooooooood~!¡±
The messroom on board the ship.
Not only the crew members, but also the passengers like us, who were traveling, were enjoying their meal, and some were drinking and making noise in the spacious room.
Among them was Espie, smiling as she stuffed her small mouth full with the seafood dishes on her te, one after the other.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite the eater, missy. Here, try this one, too. This is a grilled shellfish~¡±
¡°Woow, big shellfish! Wow, they¡¯re all open and squishy ~!¡±
¡°Hehe, the broth¡¯s boiling. And you don¡¯t need any extra seasoning! The vor is enhanced by the heat, and it¡¯s best to eat it as it is!¡±
¡°Wow! Wow, wow! Digging iiiiin! Ah, ah, ahm, ahm! Hafu¡¯hafuhafu¡ still, it¡¯s delicious!¡±
¡°I¡¯m most happy when you simply say it¡¯s good like that. Okay, go ahead and try this one too!¡±
I wonder, do seamen just like to serve food?
Well, it was the same at the fishing port.
But unlike back then, now that I see Espie eating with a genuine smile, the smiling seamen feeding her one after another, I felt abandoned.
Well, I¡¯m d that Espie¡¯s mood has improved.
Besides¡¡
¨D¨DHave you never eaten cake?
¨D¨DUn! I only eat hard meat to strengthen my jaw and medicinal drinks.
She can eat even more delicious food.
As long as she smiles and says it¡¯s delicious, that¡¯s fine.
So I think Espie is in good hands.
When she throws a tantrum, I get quite nervous because her original power is pretty dangerous.
On the other hand¡
¡°Now¡ is that guy here¡¡±
The edgy kid I met earlier was not in the messroom.
Had he already finished his meal?
Espie was being treated by various grownups, and it seemed like she¡¯s having fun, so maybe I¡¯ll leave her alone and go see him for a while? I¡¯m curious.
¡ºTis surprising.¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
¡ºHonestly, I do not know how involved he was with you, and I thought it would be a wait-and-see affair for a while, but I did not expect you to actively engage with him.¡»
¡¸Hmm? Hmm~¡¡ well¡¡ I know we¡¯re going to get tangled up anyway, so¡¡¹
Sure, I myself wondered for a moment why when Tre¡¯ainar told me, but the reason was simple.
¨D¨DBig brother!!
Espie really opened up to me now. She trusts me. Maybe it¡¯s because I know that she¡¯s attached to me.
I can¡¯t even think of her as a stranger anymore.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¡ªWe¡¯re not married. We haven¡¯t had a wedding ceremony. That¡¯s why we have no children. You can only get married and have a wedding if you get permission from each other¡¯s families.
This all leads to those words in the future¡ or rather, in the present day.
¡ºI see.¡»
Tre¡¯ainarughed and seemed to agree with my idea.
¡°Oh. He¡¯s going to be my little sister¡¯s future husband, right? If that¡¯s the case, I should know what kind of guy he is¡ if he¡¯s a jerk¡¡ kuhahaha, something like that.¡±
If he¡¯s a scoundrel, why would I allow the marriage? I¡¯m not that excessive, and I don¡¯t have any intention of doing that.
But. As for whether or not to allow it, I just thought I should know what kind of guy yer is, or rather, what kind of guy he was.
¡ºHmph. Even so¡¡»
¡¸What?¡¹
¡ºYour little sister will get married first¡ inparison, you have yet to have any experience with the opposite sex, fuhahahaha.¡»
¡¸What!? Th, thing is, she¡¯s actually older than me¡ I mean, even I have people who I might marry in the future, like Kron, Shinobu, Sadiz!¡¹
¡º¡¡ tis about time to include that princess as well, is it not? All the same, I feel pity for her¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ ah~¡¡ ah~¡¡ um~mm¡.. I don¡¯t think I feel that way yet¡¡¹
No, I think the princess is indeed beautiful and a good woman. But~ she was just a childhood friend, and a thorn in my side for too long, so I was not very conscious of her as a woman¡ I think I am a little harsh in that area, but¡ while thinking about it, I opened the door of the messroom to look for him.
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
That was unexpected.
As soon as I opened the door, that kid was right there¡ yer stood.
But, the other party quickly averted his gaze from me with a nk expression on his face.
¡°Yo.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re here to eat, right? Come on in.¡±
I asked, thinking that he had just arrived, not that he had been there the whole time.
But, yer looked away and¡
¡°I¡¯m not going in. It¡¯s too noisy right now.¡±
¡°Hah?¡±
Surprisingly, he was about to turn on his heel and leave without going in.
Because it¡¯s too noisy? Well, it¡¯s true that now everyone was focused on Espie, and the grownups were drinking and enjoying themselves, but was the noise really that loud?
But. Was it really that much to worry about?
¡°Why? You¡¯re hungry, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t like noise when I¡¯m eating¡ I also see a crowd of people¡¡±
Although he was expressionless, I could tell that he was in a bad mood just by the glint in his eyes.
I mean, how old is he?
¡°Anyway, don¡¯t talk to me. I don¡¯t want to be around those idiots.¡±
¡°H, hey, like I said,e eat¡¡±
¡°I said, I don¡¯t want to right now. You must be stupid to ask me twice. I¡¯m not that hungry¡ª¡ª¡±
¨D¨DKu~~~~~?
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°Ah, h, hey¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
And right after he said what he wanted to say, I heard a small guttural sound in front of me, but yer just walked away with a quick pace.
¡¸He¡¯s gone¡¡¹
¡ºHe seems to have great skill, but is quite the troublesome child¡¡»
¡¸Yeah. He¡¯s kind of cool¡ but surprisingly uncool¡ maybe like the old Rebal.¡¹
I was rather convinced when I said it myself.
Come to think of it, Rebal used to be like that.
Me, Fu, and the princess would forcibly drag him out to y, and he would sigh about this and that, but he would always go with us¡
¡°Shhaaahh!¡±
I couldn¡¯t leave the hungry kid alone like that, so I decided to go after him.
I shouldn¡¯t go empty-handed¡ do I bring a te with something to eat?
¡ºThen child. You still have that, do you not?¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
Saying that, Tre¡¯ainar grinned¡
¡ºThat item you bought at his store in the present era, right? The portable food I invented.¡»
In the camp, I was Curry, and in the city, I had cake with Espi, and still sitting unused in my bag, something Tre¡¯ainar was supposed to have invented.
Come to think of it, I bought it at his store in the modern era, but I hadn¡¯t eaten it yet.
Chapter 285: Take It Back
Chapter 285 ¨C Take It Back
Once on the deck, it was chilly, as if the hot daytime sun was a lie.
Looking up, I saw many stars shining in the sky, so beautiful that I couldn¡¯t help but gaze at them.
And at the same time, I found that guy.
¡°¡¡ Why is he in a ce like that¡¡±
¡ºPerhaps he is gazing in the direction from the position of the stars, or it could be a hobby¡¡»
¡°But what¡¯s the point of standing so high up and watching?¡±
¡º¡¡ tis better to be as close to the sky as possible¡ or so no one can interrupt him there¡¡»
He was standing on top of the lookout attached to the mast¡¡ or rather, at the very top of the mast, looking up at the sky.
What are you doing?
¡°¡¡ good grief¡¡ shut up¡ are you talking to yourself? You¡¡ just now¡¡±
Me and Tre¡¯ainar were on the deck, looking up, when that guy lowered his face and met my eyes.
¡ºApparently, thetter¡ he did not want any interruptions¡¡»
¡°Geez¡ in this day and age¡ kids look at people like that with impunity¡¡±
When I was about this guy¡¯s or Espie¡¯s age¡ wasn¡¯t I saying something about bing an Ultra Hero?
Compared to me, I wonder what kind of life a kid would have to live to make such a face.
¡°Oh, excuse the interruption. Let¡¯s talk a little bit¡ I wanted to know more about you¡ and then, I thought you might be interested in me.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah?¡±
I answered yer, who asked grumpily, and sure enough, he red at me even more grumpily.
But even though I¡¯m dealing with a kid who had lived a life I couldn¡¯t imagine and seemed to have gotten that look in his eyes, it still doesn¡¯t feel good to be stared at like that all the time, so let¡¯s tease him a little¡
¡°Me? To you? Interested? You¡¯re so full of yourself¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Magical Parkour!¡±
¡°¡¡ eh!!??¡±
And the moment he sighed and turned away from me for a moment, I ran up the mast with a little bit of serious parkour and came around behind him.
¡°¡¡¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s a good response¡ but your brother¡¯s going to be a little hurt if you run off so spooked, right?¡±
yer, whose eyes immediately widened at my movement, instantly jumped back to the edge of the mast.
I see. It¡¯s a good reaction for a kid.
Espie was more the type who moves by making full use of her abilities, but this guy used simple physical ability.
And in the moment, he was on high alert, ring at me intently, ready to make a move at any moment.
¡°So, what do you think? Did you get a little interested in me?¡±
¡°Huh¡ what the heck¡¡ are you¡¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, don¡¯t re, don¡¯t re. I¡¯m not trying to take you to go eat. Rather¡¡±
yer, who had previously rejected everyone and didn¡¯t even try to show interest, finally looked at me, albeit in a bad way.
But at this rate, the fight might break out, so Iughed and showed that there was no hostility, took that out of my pocket, and threw it at yer.
¡°Here, an apology for surprising you. So don¡¯t get any twisted ideas about this being a freebie.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
yer caught the item I threw while being wary of it.
I took the same thing out of my pocket and tore off the wrapping.
And what came out was a small stick-shaped biscuit-like food.
¡°¡¡ this is¡?¡±
¡°You¡¯re a Hunter, and you don¡¯t know? It¡¯s ¡®Calorie Friend.''¡±
Yes, it is a portable food item purchased from yer¡¯s equipment store in the modern era, once invented by Tre¡¯ainar and possessed by the soldiers of the Demon King¡¯s Army.
I took a bite to show that it wasn¡¯t anything suspicious.
Actually, this was my first time trying it¡
¡¸¡¡ Hmm, it¡¯s a little dry in my mouth¡¡¹
¡ºWhat!? I am unsure what you areining about! This took lot of trial and error, so the taste may be improved¡¡»
¡¸Ah, but it¡¯s fluffy¡ the vor seeps in¡ yeah, it¡¯s good enough.¡¹
¡ºI¡ I suppose so. Incidentally, tis dry because the water content has been suppressed. With little moisture, tis lighter and more convenient to carry.¡»
Oh, I thought Tre¡¯ainar would be in a bad mood for a moment, but he nodded his head happily.
Well, these days, whether it¡¯s women, little girls, or my master, I have to be careful of various things.
¡°¡¡ what¡ you¡¡ who are you? What is your purpose in approaching me?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be so defensive. I¡¯m not so short of money that I¡¯d take you in to make a profit.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°I mean, you said it was stupid to ask people twice, but don¡¯t say that until you learn not to ask twice.¡±
¡°Unh¡¡±
¡°I told you, didn¡¯t I? I thought you¡¯d be interested in me, I¡¯m just trying to have a conversation with you.¡±
Without removing the wrapping off the Calorie Friend I gave him, yer was still wary.
¡°I¡¯m not hanging out with anyone.¡±
¡°Haha, I see¡ so how did you defeat that big squid earlier today? Was it magic?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no way I¡¯d expose my hand, right? In the first ce, I don¡¯t want to talk to you.¡±
Hm~m¡.. unlike Espie and Master, this one¡¯s on guard.
¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll return this portable food.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I gave it to you, or rather, it¡¯s a simple pleasure item. I mean, you¡¯re hungry, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not hungry! Besides, I don¡¯t want it!¡±
Then, yer tried to give back the Calorie Friend.
I don¡¯t mind if he doesn¡¯t give it back to me, but yer was stubborn.
Would you go so far as to refuse?
No, but when I was a kid, Sadiz told me, ¡°Don¡¯t take candy from strangers, you¡¯ll be kidnapped,¡± and I guess that means you shouldn¡¯t take it from suspicious people?
¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t need it! So¡ take it back!¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
At that moment, the figure of yer flickered in front of me.
He must be trying to fly quickly and get behind me. I wonder if he was quite annoyed that you took his back earlier?
But¡¡
¡°Like I said¡ you don¡¯t have to give it back.¡±
¡°Uh¡ oh¡!¡±
I again got behind yer who was trying tond behind me.
yer froze, his back to me, holding out the Calorie Friend he was trying to return to me to an empty space.
¡°¡¡ huh¡ take it back!¡±
¡°Kuhaha, I said I don¡¯t need it.¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
While looking frustrated, yer turned around, looking peeved, and tried to forcibly thrust the Calorie Friend at me.
But that hand again cut through the air.
¡°Kuhaha, that was a shame ?.¡±
¡°Uh, ugh, you¡ what the heck¡¡±
yer, who couldn¡¯t even touch me, red at me with his eyes wide open, but those eyes are different from the ones that were indifferent to me, saying he had no interest in anything.
His eyes were clearly asking, ¡°Who are you?¡±. They are curious about me. In a way, is it safe to say that he was interested?
At the same time, I thought I¡¯d y around with him a little more.
¡°Hey, yer¡ if you¡¯re so frustrated¡ why don¡¯t you try to catch me and give it back?¡±
¡°¡¡ What¡¡±
Provoking yer, who couldn¡¯t touch me, to try and catch me¡ that was¡¡
¡°Oh? Even though you¡¯re a Hunter, can¡¯t you catch a human?¡±
¡°W, what!?¡±
A hunt¡¡ or rather, a game of tag.
And even yer, who was supposed to have no interest in anyone and had no intention of getting involved, was also moved by this provocation¡
¡°Hm, hmph¡ I don¡¯t know who you are, but¡ are you underestimating me just because you¡¯re a little skilled? Then¡¡ I¡¯ll catch you right away and make you take it! Don¡¯t underestimate me!!¡±
It was too easy.
¡ºFuhahaha, still a brat as expected. Is it not silly to fall for such a simple provocation? What? Child.¡»
¡¸You say that?! Yes, boomera¡ª¡ª¡ª¡¹
¡ºOh?¡»
¡¸No, it¡¯s nothing¡¡¹
¡ºSeriously¡ however¡¡ even though tis a child¡¯s game of tag, it could get quite thrilling, be careful¡¡»
¡¸Yeah, I get it. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s capable of.¡¹
I came to talk to yer and wanted to get to know a little bit about him¡ in a sense¡ or maybe this is better.
It¡¯s the same as with Koujiro.
¡°Kuhahahaha,e, try to catch me!¡±
¡°Wait, I won¡¯t let you go!¡±
I feel like we can get to know each other better this way than if we were forced to talk to each other.
With that in mind, I jumped off the mast and ran across the deck, followed by yer, who gave chase.
Chapter 286: Wasted
Chapter 286 ¨C Wasted
I jumped off the mast andnded on the deck.
Then yer came down after me, but I got out of the way before hended.
¡°You¡¯re not getting away.¡±
As soon as hended, yer followed me.
¡°Oh¡ so fast¡¡±
Sure enough, he¡¯s pretty fast. Not to mention, to be able to run so fast right afternding, his physical ability was high.
¡°Hmph, can you get away from me at that speed? The reason why my back was taken was because I was caught off guard¡¡±
He¡¯s agile, has instantaneous power, and forceful steps.
¡°See, you are so easy¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
yer reached out his short hand to grab my arm¡ but¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Swerve¡¿¡±
¡°Nah, eh, ah!¡±
I changed my route to run in an arc instead of a straight line.
¡°Kuhahaha, too bad ?.¡±
yer¡¯s fingertips were just about to touch my clothes.
He must have been sure that he had caught me.
I was surprised to see the bewildered look on his face when he saw that something unexpected had happened again.
¡°Hmph, a petty trick¡ I was almost there¡ but next time, I won¡¯t let you go! Even though this is a slightlyrger ship, it is still a limited area. There¡¯s no way you can escape me, a Hunter, in a ce like this forever.¡±
But he quickly shook his head and turned back to face me.
I chuckled at his pissed off attitude, but I was able to draw yer to thest minute¡
¡°nt¡±
¡°Nuh! Th, this time!¡±
¡°Jigout¡¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
I drew yer in and then ran around to escape his grasp by changing direction.
yer gritted his teeth as if he was annoyed with me.
¡°Uh~, he keeps moving¡¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Wow, you mayugh now!¡±
I provoked yer to agitate him, but inwardly I was quite surprised.
He was probably the same age as Espie, around seven years old.
Such a kid was following my dashes, steps, and changes of direction even if he couldn¡¯t catch up.
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Yotto.¡±
¡°Oh, he dodged¡ then how about this!¡±
¡°Heigh-ho!¡±
¡°Wha¡¡±
¡°Kuhaha, impressive, impressive.¡±
Just from these few seconds of movement, I can tell that he can¡¯tpare to the Princess, Rebal, and Fu at this age.
¡°I see. He¡¯s a terrifying fellow.¡±
Unlike me, who was called a brilliant talent, I was reminded that this was a guy that the general public and the world recognized as a genius.
¡°So, what smugness ¡ jeez, you¡¯re just a little quick at running away, and I¡¯m not going to let you look down on me! I¡¯ll show you, my¡¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Speed!¡±
Can you run faster?
He¡¯s not strengthening his body like Breakthrough, or ¡°making it look fast¡± with stepwork and sharpness like I do.
He ran in a circle, surrounding me.
Afterimages can be seen of his appearance, and it looks like there are several yers.
¡¸¡¡ It¡¯s different from Shinobu¡¯s technique¡¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm, tis not a clone technique¡ tis an afterimage technique, a disy of high speed and swiftness¡ but tis done with natural physical ability.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Heh¡¡¹
The deck of the ship squeaked from yer¡¯s powerful steps, and part of it was shattered.
He¡¯s not using a running technique, but he can do this with simple raw abilities.
It¡¯s a shame, though.
¡°Here!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Split Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh!? Oh, uh, eh¡¡±
Now, no matter how many afterimages you show, I can instantly tell which one was real and how they will move.
¡°What? From a position outside his view, my hand¡¡±
I sensed yer¡¯s hand sticking out of my blind spot and avoided it.
It seemed that this was also unexpected for yer.
¡°Your movement is too straightforward and simple.¡±
¡°Wha, what!?¡±
He¡¯s just chasing after me.
It¡¯s not like he was building any strategy, or attempts to drive me into a corner or wall.
On top of that, he¡¯s not trying to estimate how strong I am.
I see. This was different from Koujiro.
¡°This time!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Backstep¡¿¡±
¡°While running backwards!? With such a thing, you think you could keep running¡ so fast!?¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, remember that. Running backwards is also an important advanced technique, you know?¡±
¡°Shut up! And, reach! A little more!¡±
¡°Yes, too bad ?.¡±
¡°Ah¡ w, wait!¡±
His hand was thrust out in a wide swinging motion, so it was also easy to read.
It¡¯s not like a jab that I¡¯m always conscious of, which thrust out from the shoulder at the shortest distance and without any unnecessary movement.
The gaze, the knees, the alignment of the toes, the shoulders, the elbows, the creak of the muscles eloquently told me what yer¡¯s next move would be.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Crossover Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh, ah, wa, wawa¡ ow, damn¡
He was swayed by my feint step, and Ankle Break.
yer fell on his butt, blushing a little.
Haha, are you embarrassed? That¡¯s a pretty cute side of him, isn¡¯t it?
¡°Sorry, sorry, I wasn¡¯t very mature.¡±
¡°Na, uh uh~~~~~~!¡±
Oh, you groaned. In a sense, this was also proof that he had exposed his emotions.
After all, this guy has childish emotions, and he gets annoyed and angry.
I felt a little relieved.
¡°¡¡ f, fuh¡ I see¡ you are a little bit capable too.¡±
¡°¡¡ Kuhaha, thanks. Have you acknowledged me a little?¡±
¡°N, not at all¡¡±
Then, yer didn¡¯t mention the fact that he was struggling, and stood up with a small snort.
No, showing suchposure at this stage¡
¡°Sure, you seem to be a little bit capable, but I haven¡¯t even used half of my strength yet¡¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s great. I¡¯ll have to run around more.¡±
¡°Well, you¡¯re talking so lightly again¡ yes, keep it etched into those eyes! You may think I¡¯m a kid and take me lightly, but I¡¯m a Hunter!¡±
yer tried topose himself by saying that he was not serious yet, but in the end, he became irritated again.
And¡..
¡°It¡¯s toote to regret it, right? I¡¯ll show you, how serious I get¡ My true power!¡±
Saying that, he opened his hands and tried to do something while concentrating his attention with a serious expression.
Magic? Magic power was condensed in both palms, and something¡
¡ºHoh~, how unusual. Tis ¡¾Ironmaking Magic¡¿ huh¡¡¡»
¡¸Ironmaking?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar seemed a little interested in the ¡°something¡± that yer was trying to do.
But I had never heard of that magic.
¡ºMm-hmm. A powerful spell that can be used to create iron by gathering substances in the air with magic power, change its shape at will, and use it as a weapon or shield in battle¡ it requires a great deal of precision, hence it had be obsolete as there are no more users¡¡»
¡¸Heh, what a convenient magic!¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm, and thus I now understand. That Great Sea King from earlier today¡ although ughtered in battle, its scars seemed to have been caused by an attack with a huge sword or hammer, not by magic¡ in other words, that is what it means.¡»
While listening to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s exnation, a huge sword appeared in yer¡¯s hand.
It¡¯s a great sword forrge creatures, much bigger than a kid like yer.
I can¡¯t believe that he can use magic to create something like this from nothing¡ this guy is amazing!
¡°I¡¯ve never seen that before. Really, you¡ you¡¯re amazing¡¡±
¡°Hmph, it¡¯s toote for that now.¡±
When I said that, yer didn¡¯t seempletely displeased.
When I first met him, I thought he was expressionless and didn¡¯t seem to have any emotional ups and downs, but surprisingly that wasn¡¯t the case.
But¡¡
¡°Let me tell you something, Today, I cut down the squid from earlier with this sword. If you don¡¯t want to face the same thing, I suggest you surrender while you still can, okay? I¡¯m a Hunter. Hunting or being hunted has be a part of my life, and a flippant person like you will always be¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°So¡ how are you going to hit me with that heavy looking thing you¡¯re wielding?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
yer was at a loss for words at my question.
No, it certainly has great power, and it¡¯s probably the perfect weapon for a giant monster with a big target, but how can you run with that thing if you can¡¯t catch up with me in a normal chase?
¡°¡¡¡¡ here Ie.¡±
¡°Oh, you changed the shape and turned it into a knife!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Without answering my question, he silently changed the great sword he was holding to turn it into a much smaller knife.
¡°This guy¡¡±
¡ºThis one¡¡»
When I saw that, I thought¡ or rather, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be thinking the same thing.
¡º¡±So much is wasted on him!?¡±¡»
We couldn¡¯t help but think that, even though he was, by all ounts, a talented and promising genius.
Chapter 287: I Don’t Hate It
Chapter 287 ¨C I Don¡¯t Hate It
¡°Eat this, ¡¾Great Shining Starlight Shower¡¿!!¡±
While saying that, yer tried to stop my movement by throwing a knife.
I don¡¯t think you should throw knives at people lightly, but it¡¯s also because of my provocation.
But either way, it¡¯s nothingpared to Shinobu¡¯s kunai. Well, I guess this guy isn¡¯t used to throwing knives in a fight.
¡°Good naming sense, but your knife-throwing skills need work. You¡¯d be more of a threat if you just chased after me normally, right?¡±
¡°Sh, shut up! Then try this!¡±
yer held up his hands and kneaded his magic again.
...
Chapter 288: Don’t Take Him
Chapter 288 ¨C Don¡¯t Take Him
¡°Haa, ha, ha, ha¡ kuh¡ not yet!¡±
¡°Alright,e on!¡±
The game of tag on deck continued.
Even though he replenished his energy with Calorie Friend, yer had been chasing me with all his might from the beginning until now without pacing himself.
As a result, he was already exhausted and sweating like a waterfall.
¡°Damn, hah, hah¡¡±
Speed and the power to wield iron-forged weapons. His physical abilities are much higher than those of ordinary people.
But that alone wasn¡¯t enough to catch me.
I see, when I tried it this way, I felt that I could see myself.
¡ºIndeed. A step for predicting the future. In addition, avoid the opponent¡¯s movements with the minimum necessary movements. Pacing. Tis better to have high basic performance such as physical ability, magic, and technique. However, this alone is not enough to reach higher levels. Tis not about a reckless charge.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded at my realization.
¡ºAnd the important thing is not to think with your head and then act in that manner, but to instill it into your body so that you can move naturally in battle without thinking.¡»
It¡¯s not just about training muscles, speed, and magic.
It¡¯s about using your head and then, eventually, making sure that your body can move like that naturally without using your head.
¡°Get caught in the iron!¡±
Looks like he still has some magic left in him. The radar gives me a rough idea of how much magic power he has left.
And unlike swords and spears, this was a technique that spread over a wide area.
¡°Inferno Network Darkness!¡±
He spread the iron over a wide area and tried to restrain me.
I see, it¡¯s convenient if you want to catch monsters alive or something.
But if you can use this technique, you should use it from the beginning¡ no¡.. if you look closely, the is prettyx with holes of varying sizes.
In addition, because of the huge range of the ironmaking, the magic power was also drastically reduced.
Also¡¡
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡°The strength of the is not good at all, is it? Well, I¡¯m not good at this, but I don¡¯t know what else to do, so I¡¯m going to give it a try, right?¡±
I didn¡¯t evade the, I dared to take it, and I was able to tear it apart easily.
It was so brittle that I couldn¡¯t believe it was iron.
Even though he hade to this point and used something like this, yer didn¡¯t have any other moves to y, and now he waspletely ¡
¡°Hey, you¡¯re tired, aren¡¯t you? Let¡¯s stop now, okay?¡±
¡°Haa, haa¡ what¡¡ you¡¯re not even out of breath¡ you monster¡¡±
¡°Kuhahahaha, I¡¯m a monster? You¡¯re saying that.¡±
yer red at my suggestion with resentment¡ I¡¯m a monster? For someone brilliant like me, who has nothing to do with being a genius or a monster, those words were new to me, so it was kind of refreshing.
Words like genius and monster suit him better¡
¡°Here, as a reward for your fighting spirit, I¡¯ll give you another Calorie Friend.¡±
¡°Giving me charity again!? And it tastes good, but it¡¯s dry and makes me thirsty¡¡±
¡°Oh, you think it tastes good? I¡¯m sure the makers will be happy about that.¡±
¡°Wh, what¡ I just thought this item was pretty convenient, and it¡¯s not that I gave in to you or acknowledged you at all, so don¡¯t get me wrong!¡±
yer had a sour look on his face. But, whileining, he reluctantly epted the Calorie Friend from me.
The person himself said this, but I wonder if he somehow opened his heart to me a little. Just as I was thinking that¡
¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!! What are you doing? What is that? What are you giving him!¡±
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡±
Suddenly, a voice echoed across the deck. It was Espie, who should have been entertained in the mess hall.
¡°Big brother! I thought you were nevering back¡ what are you doing with that boy!!¡±
Apparently, she was worried that didn¡¯te back and came looking for me.
One thing led to another, and we yed tag quite a bit.
And when Espie found me, she came running with a bright red face, forced her way between yer and me, and growled.
¡°I said he¡¯s my brother! What are you doing!¡±
¡°¡¡ nothing much¡±
¡°You too Big brother, what are you doing!? What did you give him?¡±
¡°Ah, no, just a little item¡¡±
¡°What are you doing, leaving me by myself!?¡±
Espie bares her emotions and stomps on the floor.
She seemed pretty mad at both yer and me.
¡°You¡¯re a noisy kid¡¡±
¡°Unyu!?¡±
¡°I was just ying tag with this guy.¡±
¡°T, ta, tag!? Why!? Big brother why are you ying with this boy!?¡±
¡°And¡ I just got some treats.¡±
¡°Eh!? W, why!? What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s that? I don¡¯t know anything about that! Big brother!¡±
While yer answered calmly with a sigh, Espie¡¯s anger peaked.
¡°Big brother, don¡¯t y with him! y with me!¡±
¡°Oh, no, I wasn¡¯t really ying¡¡±
¡°And what are those treats!? I want some, I want some, I want some, I want some!!!¡±
¡°Ah~, just calm down already.¡±
She jumped on my chest and yelled over and over.
¡°Good grief¡ not that I care to know who you are, but¡ it must be a pain to have a nagging, slow-moving nuisance in the way.¡±
¡°What was that!? Was that about me!?¡±
¡°Huh~¡±
¡°M, mm, mmmmmmmmmuuh! I¡¯ll beat you up!!¡±
In an attempt to quiet down the snarling Espie, I patted her head while holding her, but it still didn¡¯t seem to calm her down.
Hm~m, I thought head pats worked to put small kids back in a good mood, but I guess it wasn¡¯t that easy¡
¡°Geez, you two should get along a little better¡e on, shake hands¡¡±
¡°¡±No way!¡±¡±
¡°¡¡ you guys¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to be friends with such a nasty boy!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not looking to get along with anyone.¡±
You two be lovers in the future and are about to get married!
Ah~ it¡¯s already bad, but this is harder than ying tag with yer.
But¡¡
¡°¡¡ Hey¡¡±
¡°?¡±
Espie, who had been raging, suddenly became despondent and weak-eyed, and while grabbing me by the cor, she turned to yer¡
¡°My Big brother¡ don¡¯t take him¡¡±
How should I put it, beyond jealousy, it was as if she was feeling somewhat anxious.
Oh I see¡ Espie was already fine, unlike before¡ is what I thought, but it¡¯s only been a few days since we met.
It¡¯s no wonder that she felt so anxious.
Then, yer let out a sigh at her appeal.
¡°I won¡¯t¡ I¡¯m not going take him, and I don¡¯t want him in the first ce¡¡±
¡°¡¡ really?¡±
¡°¡¡ Yes. I won¡¯t take him¡¡±
yer replied with a slight frown.
Espie was still not in a good mood, but somehow those words managed to calm her down a little.
¡°Huh¡ I¡¯m feeling down¡ how stupid. I¡¯m going to bed.¡±
¡°Hmm? Hey, what about your dinner?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need it. I got two of these¡¡±
Saying this, yer turned to go back inside the ship. But he stopped for a moment, looking forward¡
¡°Hey¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°What did you want?¡±
This was the third time he¡¯d asked me that. He said something about people being stupid if they ask twice, but it seemed to bother him a lot.
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I just wanted to know what kind of guy you were. On top of that, it would have been nice if you could get to know me a little bit about me along the way, that¡¯s all I wanted.¡±
¡°¡¡ I don¡¯t understand¡ what you mean by getting to know me ¡ even if we get to know each other, I have no intention of joining or befriending you. I¡¯m not even interested. I hate¡¡ that kind of thing.¡±
Saying that, yer returned to the ship with a dissatisfied expression.
He¡¯s a pretty stubborn guy¡
¡°Mmm, Big brother¡ leave that boy alone¡¡±
¡°Espie, you can get along with him, right?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t! Absolutely can¡¯t! That boy isn¡¯t just bad-tempered! He¡¯s a really gloomy boy! No way!¡±
Espie pouted and told me to leave that guy alone.
In the end, it seemed that their impression of each other remained negative.
But still, do you hate gloomy boys?
But, Espie¡
¨D¨DI understand¡ I have¡ failed my mission¡ no more¡¡ a child no one needs anymore¡ if I killed a lot in the war¡ the painful experiments could have been reduced¡ I wouldn¡¯t be beaten anymore¡ but¡¡ I failed¡¡ they said that the fate of the country was with me¡¡
You were pretty gloomy when we first met in the forest, weren¡¯t you? That was only a few days ago, you know?
Well you haven¡¯t realized that your emotions have changed so much, right?
Besides¡¡ that kid¡ the store manager¡¡ no, even yer is in the future¡
¨D¨DI admit it. You are a man who knows me, even though you don¡¯t know me. That¡¯s why I want to know. Which spice would you choose? What would you buy? I want to know. I want to know. I want to know more about you.
He¡¯s gotten quite curious about other people.
That¡¯s right, he¡¯s like this now, but someday¡
Chapter 289: The Morning Before Disembarking
Chapter 289 ¨C The Morning Before Disembarking
Having done some moderate exercise, I slept pretty well.
As I rocked in the suspended hammock on the ship, I regained consciousness with a refreshing feeling.
But at the same time, I felt a weight around my stomach.
I wondered what it was for a moment, but I soon realized what it was.
¡°Oh, good morning.¡±
¡°¡¡ Funyu¡¡ un¡ Big brother, good morning.¡±
Espie was sleeping on my chest¡ hmm? Did Espie just wake up too?
That was why she looked so sleepy.
Her eyelids were almost closed, no, are those dark circles? She looked like she would fall asleep at any moment.
¡°¡¡ could it be, Espie¡ did you have trouble sleeping?¡±
The ship was swaying quite a bit. I¡¯ve trained my semicircr canals perfectly through training with Tre¡¯ainar, so it wasn¡¯t a problem, but could it be seasickness or something?
¡°Un¡ I didn¡¯t sleep.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Did not sleep. Not that she couldn¡¯t sleep. But didn¡¯t sleep.
I didn¡¯t know what Espie meant by that answer, so I tilted my head¡
¡°I was watching Big brother the whole time so that boy wouldn¡¯t take you away while I was sleeping.¡±
¡°¡¡ Wh, what~? ¡¡ Pu, kuhaha, is that so¡¡±
I was so dumbfounded, I couldn¡¯t help butugh.
I guess she¡¯s still upset about me and yer ying tag and giving him Calories Friendsst night when she wasn¡¯t looking.
¡°It¡¯s not weird. I¡¯m Big brother¡¯s sister. Big brother is mine.¡±
¡°Geez. Yeah yeah, okay.¡±
¡°Un, that¡¯s right.¡±
Espie affirmed with a rough snort. I couldn¡¯t help butugh at how cute she sounded.
¡ºFufun, it seems the child is relieved to be so adored¡¡»
¡¸Ah, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºIf you think about it, tis preposterous that one of the Seven Heroes stood guard on you all through the night.¡»
¡¸Oh¡ that¡¯s right¡¡¹
After seeing all the jealousy and anger over the past few days, it¡¯s easy to forget that this girl was one of the Seven Heroes.
Thinking that she was indeed a luxurious guard, I got out of the hammock with Espie in my arms.
¡°Now¡¡±
¡°Are you up?¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
I looked around the ship. Some were still asleep, some were already up and yawning, and others had gone to wash their faces.
That guy¡ isn¡¯t there¡ wait, he isn¡¯t the type to sleep in a ce packed with people like this.
¡°Espie, are you sleepy?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡±
¡°Got it, then let¡¯s do some exercises and clear our heads.¡±
With Espie in my arms, I walked out of the dimly lit interior of the ship to the outside deck.
Then, unlike the morning sun in the mountains, the powerful sunlight poured in, the calm sea surface and the asional breeze were pleasant¡ not really¡.
¡°¡¡ stinky.¡±
Espie involuntarily pinched her nose.
Certainly, there was a fishy smell in the air, ruining what should have been a refreshing atmosphere.
¡°Is it because of that¡¡±
The carcass of the Great Sea King, which was strapped to the back of the ship and pulled.
Overnight, it had be quite smelly.
Well, I got used to it when I worked part time at the fishing port, but for Espie¡
¡°Espie, is the smell bad?¡±
¡°Uunn. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m already used to it.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°War smells worse. You know, there¡¯s rotten dead bodies, poop, organs and ©–©–©– sttered all over the ce.¡±
¡°Okay, okay, you don¡¯t have to tell me any more.¡±
I retract my previous statement. Espie was more tolerant than I was.
That¡¯s right.
But, as always, she calmly says such things with a nk expression on her cute face, so I couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.
I mean, even though she had such tolerance, to get angry just because I¡¯m around other kids, I guess she had the right bnce¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
Just then, we spotted yer hanging out on deck, and the other party also noticed us as our eyes met.
¡°Yo, good morning.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Hmph.¡±
¡°Big brother, don¡¯t talk to him!¡±
Even though it was just a greeting, Espie, who had been sleepy and sluggish, woke up and red at yer with eyes that looked as if they were about to bite him at any moment.
¡°Hey, Espie. Say hello properly.¡±
¡°Uh~, because¡¡±
¡°No because, it¡¯smon sense,mon sense.¡±
Geez, this is just likest night¡
On the other hand, yer also seemed to have a lot on his mind about yesterday¡¯s events, and had a rather unpleasant, yet indescribablyplicated expression on his face.
¡°Oh, the voyage is going well! We will arrive at the Port Town of Genkhan around noon today! Let¡¯s tighten our belts until the end, boys!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Ooohhh!!!¡±¡±¡±
And, in such an awkward atmosphere, the voices of the energetic sailors echoed.
It looks like this voyage ising to an end soon.
¡°Hey, yer. What will you do when we arrive?¡±
¡°¡¡ What is it, all of a sudden. Why should I tell you that? I¡¯m just going to trade in my catch and go hunt the next target.¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh, yes. What are you going to hunt?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what. Anyway, I¡¯ll pick one that looks strong. I¡¯ve heard that there are a lot of monsters from the Demon Realm on the Avosoa continent, I think it¡¯s somewhere around there, but I¡¯m not going to tell you that.¡±
¡°¡ I see¡ or¡ hmm?¡±
It was just a matter of creating a topic, but sure enough, this guy hasn¡¯t opened up yet, so he doesn¡¯t answer¡ or maybe he doesn¡¯t even realize it himself, but he answered most of the time, didn¡¯t he?
¡°By the way, not that I¡¯m interested or anything, but what are you going to do?¡±
Moreover, he asked me while iming that he was not interested in anything! Ah, this guy, he¡¯s already sulking about a lot of things!
¡°Me¡ I¡¯m heading to ¡®Shiznautmy¡¯.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
For the time being, I answered honestly, but yer tilted his head as if he didn¡¯t get it.
¡°That ce was destroyed by the Demon King¡¯s army, right? I heard that it was now in ruins, but what are you going to do there? Are you going on a treasure hunt?¡±
¡°Something like that. Do you specialize in monster hunting? Don¡¯t you go treasure hunting or something like that?¡±
¡°Nonsense. I wouldn¡¯t take quests that are easy for anyone with luck, such greedy money-grabbers.¡±
When he said that, I thought yer had opened up a little, but he snickered at me in a kind of ¡°disappointed¡± way.
Anyone can go on a treasure hunt, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that easy¡ in the first ce, my purpose is treasure, but not money.
But it¡¯s not something I¡¯m going to tell him¡
¡°Mmm~, Big brother!? You should be saying ¡®Yes, yes, Espie. You¡¯re a good girl.¡¯ by now.¡±
For the time being, I pre-emptively suppressed Espie that he woulde and get angry.
And this guy¡
¡°Huh? But, I thought Hunters were not supposed to be able to operate on their own in Shiznautmy right now¡?¡±
I heard some worrisome information.
¡°Huh? Is that so?¡±
¡°Sure¡ the Allied Forces were investigating, so should be off-limits to anyone except Hunters affiliated with the country or the Union, or who were not directly hired as investigators¡ oh, or were you hired?¡±
¡°Nope¡ I wasn¡¯t, but¡¡±
¡°Then, isn¡¯t it impossible? Well, if you have the qualifications, you might be able to sell directly to them, but¡¡±
¡°I, is that so?¡±
I was also confused by the unexpected words.
Even in modern times, I avoided the investigation team of the Union and the Demon Realm, but even here?
At that time, it seemed that Uncle Ben and Norja, the former Six Supremacy, showed up, but such a bothersome thing happened even here¡
¡°If I remember correctly, the other day, Hiro, Mamu, and Benlinerve of the Seven Heroes were dispatched there by the Empire¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡±¡ºWe¡¯re not going!! ¡»¡±¡±
We should avoid any more top-ss encounters.
Naturally, me and Tre¡¯ainar yelled at the same time, but this time so did Espie.
Anyway, it was decided before we disembarked that we would wait-and-see for a while.

Chapter 290: Intermission (Princess) â‘£
Chapter 290 ¨C Intermission (Princess) ¢Ü
We have sworn. We will be stronger and reach the realm of the world that Earth has stepped into.
To be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
To stand next to him.
To entrust our backs to him.
So much so that he can rely on us.
That power is in a world where the Seven Heroes and Six Supremacy, who are said to be legends from the Great War, reside.
In the battle with that ck Sage, Paripi, I felt that goal tremendously.
But even that realization was still lukewarm.
It is not that it was tremendous.
I can¡¯t see the end.
¡°So, weess, how strong do you want to be?¡±
¡°I want to be so strong that the High Priestess, the Goddess, and Older brother will all depend on me!¡±
The moment the innocent Amae said this genuinely without any hesitation, my chest tightened even more.
Those were the words we should have spoken.
But we were too intimidated by the vastness of the world Earth was stepping into to utter those words.
How pathetic¡
¡°Nuwahahaha, how precious~. So, th¡¯ ones thatssie says she wants to rely on her are thed who summoned me and his bride? Nuwahahaha, thatd is also popr ~. well, not as much as I.¡±
Vasr wasughing cheerfully at Amae¡¯s words.
Yes, this is a world where not only the Six Supremacy, but also the legendary Dragon King of Hades would casually appear all of a sudden.
It¡¯s impossible not to be perplexed¡
¡°Dragon King of Hades Vasr¡¡±
It was then.
Among those of us who could only watch their exchange, Sadiz asked Vasr.
¡°You¡ you seem to be an old acquaintance of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡ didn¡¯t you think anything of Little man?¡±
¡°Hmm? Yesh, I did. I yed a wee bit with th¡¯d¡ he¡¯s a cheeky one, but he had grit and was amusing. Th¡¯ bride had backbone too.¡±
¡°Th¡ that¡¯s all¡ was that it? Erm, Little man¡¯s¡ lineage¡ that¡ and¡ Little man¡¯s technique¡¡±
¡°Should anything else matter? It¡¯s not about his skills or parentage¡ th¡¯ Great Magic Spiral that th¡¯d and his bride unleashed on me ¡ it was so intense my spirit surged. I felt a nostalgic soul. That was enough.¡±
What Sadiz was worried about when she asked¡ Come to think of it, Earth used the technique of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar.
And Sadiz knew the circumstances. Earth had said that only Sadiz knew.
That¡¯s frustrating for me.
But more than that¡
¡°Th¡¯d and his bride were fascinating. Other than that, I¡¯m not interested in th¡¯d¡¯s background or title~¡±
¡°Is¡ that so?¡±
We couldn¡¯t say ¡°that¡± to Earth.
To Vasr, who can say it so easily, we probably look like small things.
Even though we just happened to be born into a family of heroes, we thought that we should pride ourselves as ¡°the chosen ones¡±.
I didn¡¯t even realize that the man I fell in love with didn¡¯t even see me as a woman, yet I was conceited enough to believe he had feelings for me too.
Simply¡.
¡°¡¡ I thought, but¡¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°After all, even if it¡¯s something to do with Tre¡¯ainar¡ Nuwahaha, I did say earlier, I have an unmanly side as well. When I look at you, I get sentimental.¡±
Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades, smiled at Sadiz with nostalgic eyes.
¡°That¡ you said I¡¯m¡¡ a descendant of the ancient female hero Kaguya¡¡±
¡°Well~. if th¡¯ only one I couldn¡¯t defeat in a fight was Tre¡¯ainar¡ th¡¯ only one I couldn¡¯t woo¡ is Kaguya.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡¡¡¡ eh? J, just now, what?
Couldn¡¯t woo? S, somehow right now, I just heard some very unexpected words from the Dragon King of Hades, a being who resides in legends and myths¡
¡°I have many wives. At one point, I was courting all th¡¯dies from one end to th¡¯ other. And Kaguya is a human¡ well, her roots are not in this world, but even if she is of a different race, she was a good woman. So after our inconclusive duel on th¡¯ moon, I tried to woo th¡¯ss¡¡±
¨D¨D Kaguya, be my woman!
¨D¨D Ufufufufu, please don¡¯t turn about and talk while dreaming unless you¡¯re dead, Gig*lo Dragon
¡°That¡¯s what I was told. No~, it¡¯s nostalgic! But since then¡ I couldn¡¯t help myself ¡ I couldn¡¯t go on a rampage in th¡¯ Surface World she fought so hard to protect. Even after she gave birth to a child with a man from wherever¡ even after she died¡¡±
No, no, no, wait. What? Where the hell should we start to put our retort!?
¡°Su, such circumstances¡ then, you¡ um¨C, withdrew from the war thinking of the human woman you fell in love with¡ you¡¯re even called the Dragon King?¡±
¡°In th¡¯ first ce, I simply enjoyed violent battle against powerful foes. My life was about fighting, drinking, ying with idiots, and flirting with good women. That was all I needed. Even though I was called th¡¯ Dragon King, I had no country or army, I was just called that because I was super strong, and free. In that sense, I was different from Tre¡¯ainar.¡±
¡°The Great Demon King¡?¡±
¡°He didn¡¯t really hate humans. Rather, he had a fondness for human culture and th¡¯ such. However, with his position as th¡¯ ruler of the Demon Realm¡ th¡¯ wishes of tens of thousands of his subjects were sure to follow¡ Furthermore, Hakuki, that sted dimwitted moron, incited extremists and those with a hatred of humans¡ th¡¯ umtion of all these forced him to move¡ I understand that too. Therefore, I didn¡¯t stop him from destroying Shiznautmy. In exchange, I decided not to participate in th¡¯ war, no matter what happened to his Demon King Army. As a result¡¡±
Shiznautmy¡¡ if I remember correctly, it is a magical city that is said to have perished during the war. And the home of Sadiz.
Vasr seems to have a lot of thoughts about Sadiz¡
¡°I¡¯m done with this sordid excuse for a story!!¡±
So Vasr, perhaps disgusted with the atmosphere, forcibly stopped talking.
It was so forceful that I was almost blown away by the scream.
Then he looked at Sadiz again with a grin.
¡°Then again, you seem to be conflicted in many ways~, even though you seem to have a lot of past sorrows and hatred for Tre¡¯ainar¡ your feelings for thatd seem genuine~¡±
Vasr¡¯s words after discerning Sadiz.
Sadiz was momentarily confused by those words, but then¡
¡°Uh¡ huh¡ of course. Liitle man¡¡ is most precious to me. No matter what the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar means to Liitle man¡ of course, I too. I wasn¡¯t able to say that the first time¡ but I can clearly say that things are different now.¡±
¡°Nuwahaha, even though you are still developing, it looks like you¡¯re a good woman yourself, thatd. I wish Kaguya had said that to me! I¡¯m annoyed, so next time I see him, I¡¯ll tease th¡¯d. Even though he has a bride, he¡¯s a cheater?¡±
Sadizughed at Vasr¡¯s words, wondering if there was anything that came to her mind.
At Sadiz¡¯s expression, Vasr smiled more cheerfully.
¡°Even so, I was surprised. To think that the one called the Dragon King would talk about his love affairs.¡±
That¡¯s what I thought. No, everyone would have thought that.
¡°What are you saying~? Shouldn¡¯t we chat about love? Love is also one of th¡¯ things that makes life better.¡±
¡°¡±Kokukokukoku¡±¡±
Shinobu also seemed to be dissatisfied with Vasr¡¯s words about Kron being Earth¡¯s bride, but she nodded next to me on that point.
Or rather, I nodded. Ah, Rebal too¡ Tsukshi as well¡
¡°On the point, Tre¡¯ainar wasn¡¯t interested in that sort of thing, even though he was a drinker, but¡ yesh, I enjoyed my time with ¡®that one¡¯~¡¡ even though we becamepletely estranged¡¡±
¡°That one?¡±
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s subordinate. There were six of them¡ and I only had contact with two¡ Well, I don¡¯t care about Hakuki¡ but I had great times when drinking with ¡®that one¡¯. We had some lively conversations around Tre¡¯ainar~. Well, th¡¯ teasing was pretty twisted, but it was funny.¡±
Then, Vasr suddenly looked into the distance again, as if nostalgic for the past¡ it¡¯s a little different from the feelings for the female hero Kaguya mentioned earlier, as if thinking of a distant friend¡ Six? That¡¯s¡¡
¡°Once more, I¡¯d like to have a drink with that one¡ Norja¡¡±
Chapter 291: List
Chapter 291 ¨C List
After several days of sailing, we will reach our destination by the end of today.
It is the fishing port that I have visited in the modern era, and it was now 10 years ago. The Port town of Genkhan.
¡°We¡¯re almost there, Big brother.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°What are we going to do when we get there? I don¡¯t want to see Hiro or Mamu.¡±
¡°Yes, me neither.¡±
The purpose of our trip is to visit Shiznautmy.
But, we heard that Fu¡¯s father and the members of the former Demon King¡¯s Army were visiting the area in the present for research purposes, so I worked at a fishing port to avoid encountering them and to earn a living on top of that.
And this time, I heard that my father and mother were in Shiznautmy.
To be honest, I¡¯ve earned a lot of money from the horse races, so I¡¯m not hurting for money, but I still have to avoid having troublesome encounters in Shiznautmy.
That being the case¡¡
¡ºWell, perhaps you could go camping again for a while¡ why not try working as a Hunter to gain experience as part of your training?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion. That is whether or not I try to work as a Hunter.
In Honeyborough, I couldn¡¯t register without showing my ID, so I never ended up working as a Hunter.
But, for me now, I can¡¯t do it with Paripi¡¯s forged documents. I don¡¯t like the alias¡
¡°Wanna go camping while exterminating monsters and searching for treasure?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s let¡¯s let¡¯s do it! Curry? Curry? Curry~?¡±
For the time being, Espie seemed to be fine with that, and was rather happy and excited, singing something like Curry¡¯s song.
But, with Espie in such a state¡
¡°Hmph¡ good grief¡¡ you underestimate the life-threatening work of a Hunter¡ you¡¯re such a child.¡±
¡°Un?!¡±
It was yer.
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°Nothing¡¡±
Espie approached yer, who was snickering, with a sullen expression.
As usual, Espie has a low boiling point against yer, but yer was just being yer, so there was no need to be so provoked.
He said he didn¡¯t want to get involved with anyone, but he was standing at a slight distance from us, and both I and Tre¡¯ainar noticed that he was ncing at us as he leafed through what looked like a stack of papers.
Are you worried about us? If I asked him, he would deny it, but¡
¡°Oh~, yer, what are you looking at?¡±
¡°Heh, it¡¯s nothing to do with you. It¡¯s just a quest list distributed at the Hunter Guild.¡±
¡°He, heeh~, is that right? Let me take a look for a bit.¡±
¡°Huh? Why do you care? Whatever. Don¡¯t get them dirty, okay?¡±
And as usual, he still has the attitude that he doesn¡¯t seem to show me honestly, but in the end he shows me anyway.
I smile wryly and took a look at the papers.
The list included quest items for ¡°Material Collection¡±, ¡°Investigations¡±, ¡°Monster Extermination¡±, and ¡°Bounty Subjugation¡±, as well as illustrations, with diagonal lines crossing out those that had already beenpleted.
¡°Oh, this diagonal line¡ The Great Sea King Squid, the one you defeated.¡±
¡°I guess so.¡±
¡°Heh~, Hunters get this kind of handouts¡ so, what will be your next target?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet.¡±
Since I couldn¡¯t even register as a Hunter in Honeyborough, I didn¡¯t even know about these.
It looked like a list where you could choose your future adventures, and I started flipping through the list, thinking it would be kind of fun.
And¡..
¡°Hmm? Super high reward¡?¡±
I was flipping through a list and stopped when I found an entry that was being treated like a separate category from the previous ones.
¡°Yeah, those are the most difficult quests. The higher the reward, the higher the danger, and many Hunters have lost their lives so far. It¡¯s not something that an amateur like you who knows nothing about hunters should suddenly dabble in.¡±
¡°Heh~, the highest difficulty¡¡ By the way, how high on the list is that sea king? The Great Sea King you defeated.¡±
¡°¡¡ w, with a little more time I think it would have gotten into the highest difficulty, but¡¡±
¡°I see.¡±
To be honest, even though it¡¯s part of my training, I¡¯m not motivated to take a very dangerous quest on the highest difficulty level from the very beginning. Also, Espie¡¯s here.
Still, it¡¯s kind of interesting to see what kind of things are written.
And then¡¡
¡°Hmm? Ah¡ Jamdi¡¯el¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, that¡ the Six Supremacy of the Demon King¡¯s Army.¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but pause when I saw a familiar face and name.
Wow, Jamdi¡¯el was on the Bounty list¡ so she didn¡¯t gain a bounty on her head after the war, she originally had a bounty on her head. Or rather, it was never lifted?
Well, it¡¯s during the war, so it¡¯s not unreasonable for humanity to put up bounties on the Six Supremacy.
If you think about it, Jamdi¡¯el was the world¡¯s highest-paid bounty in the modern era.
In other words, if you consider that to be the highest difficulty level, it can be used as a measure of various things.
¡°Jamdi¡¯el¡ Hm~m¡¡±
And as expected, Espie also reacted to Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s name.
Naturally for the Seven Heroes, isn¡¯t it a name that can¡¯t be ignored?
yer sighed at us¡
¡°Either way, quests and bounties around here have nothing to do with you guys. You can¡¯t even touch them if you¡¯re only halfway decent. You¡¯d have to be in the ss of the Seven Heroes.¡±
One of the Seven Heroes was here though.
I mean, doesn¡¯t yer know anything about Espie? Oh, you don¡¯t care?
Well, it¡¯s not unreasonable to doubt that this spoiled, jealous little girl was actually one of the Seven Heroes¡
¡°Kuhahaha, I¡¯m not going to hunt such a super big shot. Or rather, I can¡¯t hunt this one on my own. ¡¡ In the first ce, my ability is not good enough for this hunt.¡±
History would change. Or maybe she will be a mother-inw in the future? Nope¡ I guess even the current me can¡¯t beat her¡ even though it was with Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s help, Jamdi¡¯el didn¡¯t even intend to kill me in the fight at Cacretale¡
¡°Anything else¡ Hmm? Paripi¡¡ La¡¯iphant¡¡ Gouda¡¡ Norja¡¡ Hakuki¡¡ every one of the Six Supremacy?¡±
Some of them were familiar faces, some were faces I¡¯ve never seen before, but in any case, their names are all textbook-level people¡ what¡¯s this, this outrageously dressed beast-eared little girl!? This is, I¡¯m sure, it¡¯s a micro-bikini armor that was in an ero book that I had before¡e to think of it, Sadiz certainly got rid of that one in seconds, right?
¡ºFufu¡¡»
And Tre¡¯ainar, looking at the faces of his formerpanions and subordinates, even if in this way, seemed a little happy and nostalgic.
Well, I can¡¯t encounter all of these guys like with Jamdi¡¯el.
That¡¯s right¡¡ I can¡¯t meet them all¡ no¡.. I won¡¯t get to meet them¡ Six Supremacy other than Jamdi¡¯el¡
And yet¡
¡°Oh, hey! Look at that, Genkhan¡ is sorta weird!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±???¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, one of the sailors in the lookout above the mast shouted as he looked through the telescope.
¡°From Genkhan¡ there¡¯s smokeing from all over the city!!¡±
Whether I liked it or not, this was the time period we were in.
Yes, anything can happen, it¡¯s the Great War Era.
Chapter 292: How Was That?
Chapter 292 ¨C How Was That?
Our destination, the port town of Ghenkan.
I visited it even in the modern era, and was taken care of by some good-natured old fishermen.
But was it like this more than ten years ago?
¡°O, oh no!¡±
¡°Genkahn is¡ no way, no way!¡±
The sailors were panicked, and the passengers looked frightened.
At first, I thought it was just smokeing from Genkhan.
But that wasn¡¯t all.
As we got closer, we could see that the port town of Genkhan was engulfed in mes.
Many buildings were damaged, and the ships moored there were in terrible condition, some with their masts broken and some cut in half.
¡°The smell of blood¡ not a fire¡not a battle¡mes of devastation¡¡±
¡°Espie¡¡±
Clinging tightly to my legs, Espie stared at the port town with grave eyes.
These were not the eyes of Espie, who had been baring her childish emotions for the past few days, but the serious gaze of someone involved in war.
¡°Genkhan is one of the ports responsible for trade with different continents¡ so I think there must have been an Allied garrison there, but¡¡±
yer also leaned out from the deck, muttering as he stared at the burning port town.
And even though I knew, I dared to ask Tre¡¯ainar for confirmation.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºThe Demon King Army attacked the port town¡ the battle seems to be over already.¡»
It was war, after all. But that¡¯s not all there is to it.
¡¸Over¡ the mes are¡¡¹
¡ºIndeed. Even though you cannot hear the sounds of battle, even buildings that do not seem to have much to do with the battle are aze¡ the victors partake in piging and rape.¡»
¡¸tsu¡¡¹
I knew. No, I don¡¯t get it, but I am at least aware of the knowledge that there is ¡°such a thing¡±.
This is war.
It¡¯s not just about fighting each other and being nice to each other.
¡ºSuch excessive barbarism against the defeated¡ I was aware¡ but I could not admonish it¡ª¡ª¡»
¡¸Stop it, I don¡¯t want to see your face like that¡¡¹
¡ºChild¡¡»
¡¸We both feel the same way¡ don¡¯t we?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar must have mixed feelings, but no matter what was happening in front of him, no matter what Tre¡¯ainar did in this era, whatever the Demon Army was doing, I am not in a position to say anything about it, nor am I qualified to do so.
From my point of view, I can only say that it¡¯s a mutual feeling for both of us¡
¡¸So, historically, who are these guys attacking that ce? Tsueh?¡¹
¡º¡¡ I do not know.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Huh?¡¹
¡ºI ledrge-scale military maneuvers and battles¡ but left the raids on small cities in various ces to the judgment of each of the Six Supremacy on the Surface. I did not even know about the raids on thisnd.¡»
¡¸Are you serious?¡¹
¡ºThe war is not taking ce in the Demon King¡¯s Castle. Tis happening on the battlefield. So, if I had known about this, I would not have allowed you to take this route in the first ce.¡»
With a tense expression, Tre¡¯ainar mentioned something like a former policy.
¡ºAnd as for the me of this era¡¡»
¡¸Ah, I see. You were ying at horse racing, weren¡¯t you?¡¹
¡ºI, I am not ying! Well, tis about gathering information and such, so tis definitely not a vacation or anything like that!¡»
Well, considering that there were countless battles of all scales all over the world for years, it¡¯s no wonder that Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t know about each and every one of them¡
¡°H, hey hey, it¡¯s not true¡ are you saying that Genkhan has fallen!?¡±
¡°How can that be? Because over there¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, currently in that town¡ the veteran general¡ General Malhagen is there, isn¡¯t he?¡±
¡°S, still¡ rather, this ship is in trouble, too! Change course, we must run away quickly before they find us!¡±
The panicked sailors began to mor that they should flee from the ce anyway.
I guess that¡¯s true.
No matter how dire the situation may be in that town, if the Demon King Army is the opponent, they will avoid fighting¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Eh, a presence¡¡±
¡ºChild, look up! From the sea!¡»
At that moment, I sensed a presence. Tre¡¯ainar also raised his voice.
Several approached from the sky¡
¡°Ufufufu, run away? Where to!¡±
¡°You humans ¡¡ won¡¯t get away, will you?¡±
¡°Fufufu, there are quite a few men too¡ I¡¯ll train you.¡±
¨D¨D¨DEeeh!??-
¡°Watch out! From above¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Muh¡¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
Fresh blood sttered. Before I knew it, a sailor on the lookout tower above the mast was carved up and fell to the deck.
¡°Kyaah, kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
¡°U, uwaaaaah, d, demons!¡±
¡°Hi, hiiiii, hiiiiiii!¡±
While the guys on the deck were screaming and falling on their behinds, a demon woman looked down at us.
Her face was almost human, but her hands were like sharp bird ws, and her arms were integrated with wings.
Her upper body was covered in sexy metal armor, and for a moment I was almost infatuated with her, but I was immediately pulled back to reality by her brutal expression as she licked the blood on her face with her tongue.
¡°Is that¡ a Harpy¡¡±
Just as I thought. I¡¯ve seen them in picture books.
The female-faced, bird-bodied demons. Harpies.
¡°Hehe, I thought the sentries missed a mark, but¡¡±
¡°A find.¡±
¡°I thought we were the only ones left bored, while all the others running amok in town were having fun robbing, raping, and torturing people¡¡±
¡°Ufufu, it¡¯s been so long, I don¡¯t think I can take it anymore.¡±
¡°We can just enjoy ourselves without reporting this to the general, right?¡±
¡°Ravish the men, kill the women. We¡¯ll take their loot too.¡±
¡°Ah, I like to eat women too, though.¡±
It is a one-sided deration of vition, with no words of surrender or anything like that.
One after another, theynded on the boat and smiled cruelly at us, seeing us not as enemies but as ¡°prey¡±.
Even though they were all women, Goodness me¡
¡ºThese ones¡ Norja¡¯s subordinates¡ the Amazoness Corps¡¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
What came out of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mouth was a really bad name.
¡ºI have heard that the vition of humans was excessive, especially by these ones, as the woman just said¡ not just ughter¡merciless rape and humiliation of enemy soldiers and civilians¡¡»
¡¸Ooh, rape¡ s, seriously¡ by¡ a woman?¡¹
¡ºording to Norja¡ the women of the Amazoness Corps are said to be gluttonous wenches who have nothing to do with modesty¡¡»
¡¸For real¡ they¡¯re¡ going to¡¡ hmm?¡¹
Such scary women. These guys will do whatever they want¡ they¡¯re pretty sexy and beautiful¡ Gulp¡
¡ºChild, do you perhaps think that might be a little appealing?!¡»
¡¸N, no I don¡¯t!¡¹
¡ºDurd ¡ well, certainly in the past, there have been some fools who have thought of such things and gotten themselves captured by Amazonesses, but ¡ in the end, no matter how much they cried, they were never freed, and they became cripples, useless, and even then¡¡»
¡¸Uh, uwaah¡¡¹
¡ºAnyway, now is not the time for such foolish thoughts!¡»
¡¸O, Osu!¡¹
I got it. Be serious.
So, what should I do¡ no¡ I can¡¯t do anything¡
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡ I¡.. honestly don¡¯t want to fight your Demon King Army¡ but¡¡¹
¡º¡¡ I understand.¡»
It was the same in the forest when I first came to this era.
The Demon King Army was not my enemy. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to fight.
But in this situation, I couldn¡¯t abandon the others and run away on my own, and most importantly, my little sister was by my side right now.
¡°Take theeeeeeeeem!!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Oooooooooooooooooooohh!!!¡±¡±¡±
I have no choice but to do it.
I¡ª¡ª
¡°Noisy, Demon King Army. Get flying.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Teriya!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
A powerful shockwave came from beside me.
With the impact, the harpies that were attacking all at once were knocked off and fell into the sea, or were mmed onto the deck.
Somehow, their armor was shattered or blown away¡ but I was so surprised that I didn¡¯t even care.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Hi, instant defeat!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
It wasn¡¯t just me, the crew and sailors were all shocked at the same time.
¡°Whoever touches Big brother, I¡¯ll beat them all up. Mufu!¡±
¡°Uh, Espie¡ you¡¡±
¡ºW, well, I suppose tis to be expected¡ in terms of strength¡¡»
Espie puffed out her chest, ¡°How was that?¡± with a smug look.
I see, no matter what I do, this girl alone will be able to handle the soldiers under the Demon King Army.
With the power of the Seven Heroes, Espie annihted the Harpies in seconds.
¡°What¡ thi, this power¡ that kid? That kid¡ what the heck¡¡±
And as expected, even yer was surprised and dumbfounded. I know how you feel.
¡°Gah, wh, what¡¡±
¡°Damn, what was that¡¡±
¡°The shock ¡ was it an attack¡¡±
But, the opponents were also soldiers who were fighting in a war.
They can¡¯t afford to faint from the shockwave just now.
Some managed to get back on their feet somehow¡ but¡¡
¡°Noisy¡¡±
¡°Hey, hey! Wait!? Why am I¡.. floating? What!?¡±
Espie muttered grumpily, and one of the harpies floated up without so much as a p of her wings.
Was she levitated with Espie¡¯s abilities? Just what¡
¡°Head Smash¡ ¡¾Fluffy Diving¡¿!¡±
¡°Huguwaah!??¡±
Hold on, she turned the floating harpy upside down and mmed it headfirst into the deck!
H, hey hey, Espie¡
¡°Wh, what!?¡±
¡°Stupid, brat. What did you do!?¡±
¡°No, wait¡ that brat¡ Hmm? Oh!? That brat, no way¡¡±
Suddenly, the harpies¡¯ smirks twitch with astonishment and fear from the cruel smirks they had just shown.
In response to these harpies, Espie ¡
¡°They¡¯re all so noisy, so I¡¯m going to beat them up. You should watch too! I¡¯m stronger than you. I¡¯m going to have a lot of adventures and eat curry with Big brother.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
That was not just for the Harpies, but also for yer, and¡
¡°I¡¯ll finish it soon. Wait for me, Big brother. With my¡¡¯Fluffy Time¡¯, I¡¯ll blow them all away, I¡¯m going to protect Big brother this time.¡±
In front of everyone present, including me, Espie demonstrated the fighting style of the Seven Heroes to the fullest.
Chapter 293: Blow Them All Away
Chapter 293 ¨C Blow Them All Away
¨D¨DHug Me!!
My little sister who said such cute things.
But, once she goes into battle mode, her actions still leave a mark on history.
¡°Gah, ugh, th, this brat¡¡±
¡°S, strong¡¡±
Harpies lying on the deck.
The harpies, who at first had cruel and nasty smiles, were now terrified.
And then¡¡
¡°You wretch! What are you doing to my cute subordinates!¡±
Also, a new killing intent descended from the sky.
¡°Ca, captain!¡±
¡°Captain Shojovich!¡±
A presence appeared, clearly more powerful than the other harpies.
¡°Aren¡¯t you quite shy? No matter how great your strength, you¡¯ll run away barefoot before me¡ are you ready?¡±
A beautiful woman with long green hair fluttered down with a harsh tone.
Wearing only ck steel pants and a breastte, and the rest of her skin was exposed.
But rather than sexiness, the toned muscles, split abs, and wild glint in her eyes spoke eloquently of this harpy as a battle-tested warrior.
¡ºOh, if I recall, this one is the captain of the Harpies and a senior officer in Norja¡¯s army¡ I have seen that face a few times¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also reacted. Does that mean she¡¯s exceptionally strong?
¡°Captain, be careful, that brat¡¡±
¡°Hah? Were you done in by such a brat? How pathetic~ right~¡±
¡°Th, that brat¡ hi, she might be¡¡±
¡°Kekkekkek, I¡¯m not going to let a little brat like that get me! I¡¯ll spank such a brat right away¡ anyway¡¡ Uhyo ~, there are some pretty good-looking men. Nice~, I¡¯ll take them, train them and make them my groomsmen¡ why not, anyway, that body, um, that, th, the fu¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
The captain of the harpies dismissed the warnings of her subordinate harpies out of confidence and drooled with a belligerent smile ¡ but¡¡
¡°¡¾Fluffy Panic¡¿!¡±
¡°Hobya?!¡±
¡°Ca, CAPTAAAAAAAAAAIINN!?¡±
¡°Another Instant Defeat!??¡±
¡ºI, I see, Captain of the Harpies¡ Espie of the Seven Heroes defeated her, and after that, she went missing, unknown if alive or dead¡¡»
The moment Espie held out her hand and released her power, the Harpy captain was shaken back and forth, left and right, at high speed, and after a few seconds, she fainted and went limp.
¡°J, just now¡¡±
¡ºTis simple enough. By moving the body at such high speed, the opponent¡¯s brain is also rocked back and forth at high speed, causing a concussion¡¡»
Don¡¯t worry about it, captain of the Harpies. Your opponent was a bad match.
¡°Aah, they¡¯ve been wiped out!¡±
¡°Captain!¡±
¡°What the hell, those guys!¡±
¡°Damn it, how dare you, ourrades¡ Captain!¡±
¡°Kill them all!¡±
But, even after defeating the harpies who ran ahead and the captain who boarded alone, it¡¯s not over yet.
Dozens of harpies, perhaps noticing something wrong, now flew in formation.
Naturally, Espie alone can¡¯t handle that many harpies¡
¡°Noisy¡ they should all die already¡ uunh, not that. I¡¯ll blow them all away!¡±
But, Espie waspletely unfazed.
Rather, she looked as if she was just annoyed¡
¡°Eiih!¡±
Espie seemed to be putting a little effort into it, as if lifting something.
Then, with that, the Harpies lying on the deck, scattered weapons, and so on, were simultaneously lifted into the air.
¡°F, floated!?¡±
¡°This power is¡¡±
¡ºHou~, tis nostalgic¡¡»
It was as if the ¡°world¡± was being manipted by Espie¡¯s will.
In response to the Harpy troops attacking from the sky, Espie gathered all the defeated Harpies and their weapons into the sky¡
¡°¡¾Fluffy World¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±I, gya, gyaaaaaaaaaah!!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
It hit them just like a bombardment.
Weapons also attacked the harpies¡¯ bodies to intercept them, and the harpies that were hit fell into the sea one after another.
¡°Here¡¯s an extra¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Extra¡¡ isn¡¯t the word for this.
Surprisingly, Espie even lifted the carcass of the Great Sea King Squid, which was being pulled behind the ship, into the air¡
¡°Wha, what is that!?¡±
¡°So, huge!? Rather, is that a squid?¡±
¡°N, no way, lift up¡ eh? impossible, impossible!¡±
¡°F, fall back!?¡±
¡°NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!¡±
She swung it down at the harpies.
¡ºFufufufu, nostalgic. However, tis still adorable. It was even more horrific when I was hit by that on the battlefield¡ I still remember that hellish scene when hundreds of thousands of corpses, weapons, and everything else floated up to be hurled at the Demon King¡¯s army from above!¡»
A power that even Tre¡¯ainar acknowledged.
This¡¡
¡°Big brother, did you see that? I¡¯m strong, right? I¡¯m much stronger than that boy!¡±
This was the power of the active Seven Heroes.
Immediately after annihting the enemy, she waved at me with a smile on her face, but the shock of it left everyone on the deck speechless.
¡°Oh, oh, that¡¯s awesome, Espie.¡±
¡°Nfu ?, then, I¡¯m going to get a hug ?.¡±
¡°Y, yes, I understand.¡±
¡°Nfu~, gyu~~?¡±
For now, I¡¯ll try not to piss this girl off.
Make sure not to twist her center.
¡°Wh, what the hell are you¡ and¡.. Espie¡ huh? N, no way¡ no way¡¡±
¡°Fufufu, what do you think? I¡¯m stronger, aren¡¯t I?¡±
And Espie with a smug face even to the surprised yer.
For the time being, things here ended without me doing anything at all.
But, although it somehow worked out here¡
¡°Amazing¡ amazing, missy! Who the hell are you?¡±
¡°Hey, you guys, by any chance¡ and that child, you called her Espie¡ could she be!¡±
¡°H, hey, what about the port? Can we just run away for now?¡±
Right, the bottom line isn¡¯t over yet.
The burning port town.
As expected, I can¡¯t just leave it alone¡ and¡..
¡°That too¡¡±
The harpies scattered over the sea were unconscious with looks of horror on their faces¡ if this continues, they¡¯ll drown and die¡ but right now, we¡¯re at war ¡ they were also killing people as they please¡ but I don¡¯t think I could sleep well at night¡
¡°¡¾Fluffy Retrieval¡¿¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
While I was worried, Espie began using her abilities to retrieve the harpies that had fallen into the sea.
Why?
Then Espie smiled ¡
¡°I shouldn¡¯t say things like ¡®die¡¯ so carelessly, right?¡±
While I was a little distressed, Espie said so with an innocent expression without any hesitation.
¡°Kuhaha¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, and without being asked this time, I hugged Espie again.
Chapter 294: Only Natural
Chapter 294 ¨C Only Natural
¡°¡±¡±The Seven Heroes¡¯ Espiiiiiiiiie!?¡±¡±¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
The astonished voices of everyone, after finally learning Espie¡¯s identity, echoed across the deck.
¡°A, amazing, but if she¡¯s that strong, I¡¯m convinced¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never seen a real Seven Heroes.¡±
¡°No way, a hero, the pride of humanity, is in a ce like this¡¡±
¡°Such a small child¡¡±
¡°But, why? Is she incognito?¡±
Her name was so famous that it was known all over the world.
Well, the fact that one of the Seven Heroes, who you would normally never meet, was actually on the same ship, would freak them out, wouldn¡¯t it?
¡°That child¡ was one of the Seven Heroes¡¡±
And even yer, who had looked down on Espie until now, was stunned.
¡°Right? You must be freaked out, right?¡±
¡°I, I¡¯m not freaked out at all¡¡±
¡°But now you know that I¡¯m stronger than you, right? Big brother thinks I¡¯m stronger.¡±
¡°M, mumu¡¡±
yer looked a little annoyed at Espie, who was provoking him with a smug face.
These guys, seriously¡
¡°Well, that aside¡¡±
Yes, the problem is that port city that is under attack¡ and¡..
¡°Tch¡ Human¡ I can¡¯t believe it, Espie of the Seven Heroes was here¡¡±
The harpies were trapped ins like caught live fish and their hands and feet were bound.
After being knocked unconscious by Espie, they were all captured so that they could not go on a rampage for the time being.
¡°What are you going to do¡ with us?¡±
¡°If you¡¯re going to kill us, kill us!¡±
¡°We love to ravish men, but we won¡¯t stand to be vited!¡±
¡°What if you try to touch me? I¡¯ll bite your stuff off and chew it to pieces!¡±
And the other harpies never lost their bullish attitude even after being caught.
I guess the soldiers around here are basically the quintessential military.
¡°Noisy, I¡¯ll beat you up again, won¡¯t I?¡±
¡°Oh, huh? Ugh¡ this brat¡¡±
¡°So, what are you going to do, Big brother?¡±
The harpies were still howling, but when Espie approached and pointed her hand at them, their faces turned pale.
I see. Even though they showed a bullish attitude, the difference in power was etched into their bodies and hearts.
¡°Hmm? Hmm~, that¡¯s right¡¡±
And I, on the other hand, didn¡¯t give it much thought.
I mean, really, what should I do from now on¡
¡ºChild¡ For the time being, if you want to avoid a fight, you should leave the port¡¡»
¡¸That¡¯s¡ wha¡¡¹
Going to help the people who are being attacked in that port town. That would mean fighting the Demon King Army.
The current skirmish was unfortunate.
Dealing with an army attacking the whole city¡ me¡. Fighting Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s Demon King Army¡
¡°Big brother? Unh~¡¡ for now, I¡¯ll ask these guys what I need to know, okay?¡±
¡°Huh? Espie?¡±
¡°Hey, how many are attacking that town? What number? Like a thousand?¡±
While I was at a loss for words, Espie asked the harpies without waiting for my response.
¡°Oh, ooh? What¡ you, what are you asking me?¡±
¡°The number of the Demon King¡¯s troops attacking that town. I thought I¡¯d ask you before I help the people of the town.¡±
¡°S, screw you! I don¡¯t care if you kill us! We won¡¯t sell ourpanions to humans!¡±
Espie tried to get information from the Harpy captain normally.
Getting information from prisoners of war. That¡¯s certainly necessary.
Around here, Espie is also a soldier, so it is a normal thing to do.
But that¡¯s not the problem.
¡°Espie¡ you¡¡±
¡°Big brother shoulde up with a n. I¡¯ll think about it with you.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°People in the town, if there¡¯s anyone alive, we have to save them.¡±
Yes, I was currently torn between whether I should go to that town and face the Demon King Army, or whether I should avoid them.
But Espie was different.
From the beginning, Espie seemed to think that I would help the people of the port town.
¡°Hey, hey, you¡ mis¡ Lady Espie¡¡±
¡°Un~? What?¡±
¡°Um¡ you¡¯re going to help that town¡ um¡¡±
¡°Yes. But I don¡¯t want the people on this ship to be in danger, so I¡¯ll think about what kind of n to do with Big brother.¡±
It¡¯s only natural, going to that town would mean potentially putting the people on this ship in danger as well.
That¡¯s why Espie thought that I would move in the direction of going to help that city, taking that into ount¡
¡°Espie¡ you okay with this?¡±
¡°Huh? What?¡±
¡°So¡ um, if you go to that town to help the people there¡ you¡¯ll be fighting the Demon King Army too, you know?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like it, but I won¡¯t let only Big brother fight. I¡¯m strong and I¡¯m going to be useful to Big brother! That¡¯s why I¡¯m going with you!¡±
No, that¡¯s not true¡ so¡¡ why do you think it¡¯s only natural that I would go and fight the Demon Lord¡¯s army to save the people of the town?
¡°Big brother, you¡¯re going to help, right? People of the town? I know.¡±
Wrong. I was also considering abandoning them.
Far from meddling too much with the past, fighting the Demon King Army of this era meant indirectly fighting the Tre¡¯ainar of this era.
I didn¡¯t like that.
So I was at a loss.
But why did Espie not hesitate that much, believing that I would help¡ like it¡¯s only natural¡
¡°Big brother is my hero! And you will be a Hero that surpasses Hiro!¡±
¡°Huh!? ¡¡ ah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Big brother?¡±
The moment she said that with a smile, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to bash my head into the ground with all my might.
That¡¯s right¡¡ the pledge that I swore to myself¡ even though I said it just the other day, I forgot about it in this situation.
¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right.¡±
¡°Un!¡±
In a situation like this, a guy, who just keeps making excuses and tries to do nothing, surpassing Hero Hiro makes meugh.
¡°Hey, you guys, listen. Looking at the situation in that town, I can¡¯t just abandon it and run away. But that doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯m going to ask you to fight or put you in harm¡¯s way. So, give me a little time. I¡¯ll definitely think of something, just a bit longer!¡±
¡°B, but¡¡±
¡°Please. Just a little more time!¡±
I ask the crew and passengers, but they all look reluctant.
Well, I guess they would.
But for now, they have to put up with it somehow.
And there is no time.
I need a n that can do something about all of this, right away, under the circumstances¡
¡ºChild.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºJust one thing¡ tis a bit of a power move, and it will require Espie doing a lot of work¡ to not engage the Demon King Army, not put everyone in much peril, and should there still be people alive on top of that, how do you save them? Impossible? Well, depending on the situation, some exposure may be inevitable¡¡»
¡¸Really!?¡¹
¡ºIndeed. On the contrary, it was fortunate that the harpy unit was annihted first.¡»
Tah, it¡¯s just like Tre¡¯ainar toe forward and say that under these circumstances. How reliable.
What the hell was that¡
¡°Heh¡ Hehehe, you wretches don¡¯t know anything~¡±
And that¡¯s when it happened.
The captain of the harpies mocked us.
¡°What?¡±
¡°Espie of the Seven Heroes is a challenge, but¡ in that town¡ she¡¯s still young and her name isn¡¯t as well known as General Norja¡ but someday, a genius who might be able to cut into the same corner of the Six Supremacy¡¡±
What? Really? She¡¯s saying something amazing so casually, but a genius who could be one of the Six Supremacy?
No, but the Six Supremacy were all fixed during my parents¡¯ time¡
¡°That fellow has a deep hatred for humans¡ a mass of vengeance¡ who will show no mercy. You bastards will all be killed? No, not just killed. You¡¯re going to suffer hell, you know?¡±
The captain of the harpiesughed out loud, even though he had been captured.
The crew and passengers looked even more frightened, and Espie looked a little curious.
And I nced at Tre¡¯ainar next to me¡
¡°Seizee, suffer! At the hands of the supernova of the Norja Army¡the ¡®Ebony Witch, Larou¡¯iph¡¯!¡±
¡ºHmm, I have heard of that one, if only by name¡ though only in passing¡ said to be a promising rookie, but was defeated by Espie and tis unknown if she is alive or dead¡ well, naturally she was treated as Killed in Action¡ a ¡®Dark Elf¡¯, I believe.¡»
Espie, aren¡¯t you being too active? Well, it¡¯s only natural since she¡¯s one of the Seven Heroes.
Chapter 295: Intermission (The Ebony Witch)
Chapter 295 ¨C Intermission (The Ebony Witch)
The Allied garrison was destroyed¡ every single soldier was ughtered¡ and the rest¡¡
¡°I also sent a wagonload of men as souvenirs for the General.¡±
¡°Hehehe, is that slick-headed Union General dead?¡±
¡°No, he¡¯s the only one I captured alive for the Great General.¡±
¡°He~, he¡¯s quite famous, isn¡¯t he, so maybe we¡¯ll get a reward, right?¡±
¡°Kakekeke, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡±
This is war¡ no, it¡¯s not¡ for me, this is part of my revenge.
And the revenge is far from over.
¡°All this¡ is thanks to the promising rookie, the Ebony Witch Larou¡¯iph!¡±
However, no matter how many people are killed, no matter how many cities are burned, no matter how many screams you see in the hellish scene, it¡¯s all in vain.
It doesn¡¯t clear my heart.
Even if I receive praise from myrades, even if I¡¯m honored in the Demon Realm, even if I receive Military Merits¡ it¡¯s worthless to me now.
¡°Righto, let¡¯s get off to a good start, shall we?¡±
¡°You too~, you¡¯re young, you need to release your sexual desire as a woman, right~? You¡¯ve never had this kind of fun before, have you?¡±
¡°Yes, yes. We¡¯ve already sent off the top-ss men, but there are still a few guys here. Won¡¯t you have fun with me?¡±
My seniors, unaware of my feelings, were overly friendly and touchy with me.
Because they were all indecent people, I can¡¯t deal with them.
¡°The dark elf really has a body that men fall for. This cool face and dignified eyes¡ this beautiful hair, wouldn¡¯t even the same women love to admire it? This butt and those plump meaty thighs~, I envy you?, it¡¯s a waste to stay a virgin with this.¡±
¡°I have no interest in such things. I would rather die by disembowelment than lie with a human.¡±
¡°Uwah~, that¡¯s so cool~. Come to think of it, you¡¯ve never bought any of the ves that ¡®Inai¡¯ of the Mafia sends our way, and you¡¯ve never yed at any party or event nned by Master Paripi, they¡¯re so much fun¡ well, I guess you¡¯re having fun with your dead childhood friend~¡±
¡°¡¡ ah?¡±
What did this woman say? Childhood friend? Have you unknowingly touched a part of my past that no one should ever taint?
¡°I, idiot, you! Don¡¯t mention that!?¡±
¡°Ah, no, no! S, sorry, Larou¡¯iph!¡±
Seriously¡¡ if the apology had been a few secondste, these women would have been dealt with as well.
¡°No¡ it¡¯s nothing¡¡±
After all, I should have refused the assignment to the Amazoness Corp.
I thought I could mercilessly trample and massacre humans, but all the women are sexually frustrated and have huge libidos, they irritate even our allies.
But it also requires a little more patience.
¡°I-I see. No~, it¡¯s really my bad! You see, we¡¯ve long since forgotten what it¡¯s like to be in love, and we don¡¯t even know what it¡¯s like to be childhood sweethearts.¡±
¡°¡¡ not sweethearts¡ not at all¡ we only yed together once¡ when we were young.¡±
¡°¡¡ huh? That¡¯s it? Hmm? yed together, you mean, like, sexually?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°S, sorry sorry!¡±
¡°Fuh¡ not like that. We just yed normally¡ that¡¯s all¡¡ that person¡ didn¡¯t even remember me. However, it was only once but I¡ ah, no, it¡¯s nothing.¡±
Just, what happened to me¡ why was I talking about my past that I didn¡¯t want to be mentioned, let alone with these people?
Sure enough, they all smirked at me¡
¡°Yes, yes, okay, so, you¡¯re saying you won¡¯t participate in ravishing a man, but¡ then, after this¡ oh, yes¡ you¡¯ve applied for a transfer to Lady Jamdi¡¯el?¡±
¡°Yes, I have met Lady Jamdi¡¯el in person and received her approval, although General Norja was a little reluctant¡¡±
Yes, this frustration will onlyst a little longer.
¡°After this expedition, I will be transferred.¡±
This is thest time I will be with these people.
From now on, let¡¯s join Lady Jamdi¡¯el¡¯s army and go on a pure, merciless rampage.
¡°Well, what are we going to do now?¡±
¡°That¡¯s a foolish question.¡±
The fact remains, however, that I am still frustrated.
There¡¯s only one way to get rid of that frustration.
¡°Um, my husband ¡ where¡¯s my husband?¡±
¡°Father, father!¡±
¡°Wh, what will happen to my son?¡±
¡°Give him back, my boyfriend!¡±
¡°Daddy¡ Eh~n, daddyyyy~¡¡±
One after another, the inhabitants were gathered in the center of the town.
All of them have no will to resist, they are terrified, and they are worried about the man they love and their families.
That¡¯s right¡¡ suffer¡¡ I know that feeling well¡ that¡¯s why you humans should taste it too.
¡°I¡¯m going to kill them all. That will do.¡±
¡°Ahahahahahaha, that¡¯s your reward! No~, scary scary!¡±
Wait for me. You were the only man I¡¯ve ever loved in my life.
How ugly does my current life look to you, who was kind-hearted?? Would you be disillusioned? However, it¡¯s just an unrequited love. You may not even remember the little girl who was afraid to speak to you, who was only looking at you all the time.
However, when I heard the news that you were killed on the battlefield¡¡ and then treated as a casualty¡¡ my grief and anger were undeniably real.
Even if you don¡¯t want to, I can¡¯t forgive them.
¡°Hi, hiii, s, save me¡¡±
¡°N, no, father! Father, help me!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to, no, I don¡¯t want to die! Please! Help!¡±
I will annihte every human in this world.
So, please wait for me.
Let the underworld be flooded with human bodies.
¡°Now, die¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
But that was then.
¡°Huh? Wawa¡ Huh?¡±
¡°What!? Eh? My body is being, pulled, eh, f, floating ¡¡¡¡±
¡°Why!?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡¡ The prisoners in front of me all at once¡?!
¡°What?! Hey, what¡¯s going on?! The prisoners¡ uh, they¡¯re floating!?¡±
¡°What, one after another, the humans¡¡±
¡°Hey, what¡¯s happening?!¡±
What¡¡ Huh!? The humans we captured were floating in the air one by one¡ what!?
¡°Hey, look at the sky!¡±
¡°W, wh, wha, what the hell is that!?¡±
¡°Th, this is¡¡±
Is this a dream? Or is it an illusion?
In the sky¡ a huge ship was¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±A huge ship is flying in the sky!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Absurd¡ not dragons, harpies, griffons, or the like, but ships flying in the sky?
What the hell is this¡ And then the humans went towards the ship one after another¡
¡°¡¾Fluffy Great Collection¡¿¡ uuunh! ¡¾Fluffy Fishing¡¿!!¡±
¡°Kuhahahaha, I never thought that my fishing training during the voyage woulde in handy in a ce like this! After distinguishing between humans and demons with my radar, I can sense the surviving humans in the town and their locations¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pick them up one by one¡¡ uunh, it¡¯s fishing! There were a lot of people in the middle of town, easy win!¡±
¡°Big catch, big catch! For the time being, if you can¡¯t bring them onto the ship¡ can you fly them to the mountains over there? The Demon King Army isn¡¯t in that area. You can safely retrieve them!¡±
¡°Sure I can! This is a special move by me and Big brother working together!¡±
What is that? Human? Magic? Ability?
¡°¡¾Magical Fluffy Fishing¡¿!!¡±
In any case, there are some very skilled people on that ship!
No, before that, what happened to the guard harpies?
What about Captain Shojovich, who is supposed to be keeping watch at sea?
Above the sea¡ let alone, they didn¡¯t evene to report something flying in the sky like that¡
¡°Tch¡ have you been beaten¡ those useless birds¡¡±
Reinforcements for the Allied Forces?
Well, fine.
In any case, I will not stop until I kill all of mankind!!
Chapter 296: Sense of Rivalry
Chapter 296 ¨C Sense of Rivalry
In the fishing match we had on the ship, Espie cheated.
Instead of using a fishing rod, she used her ability to catch a fish swimming in the sea.
But her ability was so powerful that it couldn¡¯t be dismissed as mere cheating, and even Tre¡¯ainar recognized that.
That¡¯s why Tre¡¯ainar suggested a power move¡
¡°Espie. There are humans hiding in the hangar in the basement of that building¡ three of them.¡±
¡°Un! Leave it to me?.¡±
I was able to pinpoint the positions of the people who were in ces where even Espie couldn¡¯t see them, and give it to Espie, who then pulled more and more of them towards us and rescued them.
¡°Nfufufufu, that¡¯s amazing, Big brother. I don¡¯t really use my ability except for weapons, corpses, and enemies¡ now I¡¯m helping people!¡±
¡°Yeah, because you¡¯re a Hero.¡±
¡°Nfufufufufufu!¡±
Me and Espie stood at the stern of the ship and performed our rescue operation from the top of the flying ship.
And from the looks of it, the members of the Demon King Army also noticed, and looked up in panic.
But it seemed that they couldn¡¯t do anything about it now.
¡°D, damn, dastardly bastards!¡±
¡°Ah, because we were all wiped out¡ ugh.¡±
The captive harpies had frustrated looks on their faces.
That¡¯s right. Since the harpies¡¯ flying unit had been annihted by Espie, there was no way for the Amazonesses of the Demon King Army to get to us, who were doing rescue activities from the sky.
Even if you shoot an arrow from below, it won¡¯t reach us here.
This ce was¡ª¡ª
¡°¡¾Roaring Thunder¡¿! I will show hell to those scoundrels who stand in the way of my revenge.¡±
¡°¡±Ah¡¡±¡±
It¡¯s magic. Moreover, they were trying to release considerable magic power from a long distance.
Compared to the people below and the harpies here, the power I felt stood out.
¡°A dark elf¡ that¡¯s the Ebony Witch, Big brother.¡±
¡°It looks like her.¡±
That must be the dangerous fellow the harpies were talking about earlier.
There actually seemed to be some truth in what they were saying.
Butpared to Jamdi¡¯el or Paripi¡
¡°¡¾Giga Thunder¡¿!!¡±
¡°Espie. To the right.¡±
¡°¡¾Fluffy Swivel¡¿!¡±
It doesn¡¯t matter.
If it¡¯s that much magic, I can use the Breakthrough and block it with the Great Magic Spiral¡ but, that¡¯s not a power that I can show off in this era, so after urately detecting the point of the lightning strike, I instructed Espie to turn the ship around and avoid it.
¡°Wha¡ what!? They evaded my spell so easily?! How is such detailed movement even possible? That ship! In that case, lower the power and continuously¡ ¡¾Mega Thunder¡¿! ¡¾Mega Thunder¡¿! ¡¾Mega Thunder¡¿!¡±
¡°Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, left!!¡±
¡°Unh! Hohoi?¡±
Even if ites as a barrage, as long as it¡¯s magic, it can¡¯t be released as quickly as punches, stone throws, and arrows.
Even if it¡¯s chantless, it needs to be charged, and I won¡¯t miss the opportunity.
But, she moved the ship without slowing down her rescue efforts¡ after all, Espie was¡
¡°Haha, awesome, awesome, Espie.¡±
¡°Un~ ? then, Big brother!¡±
When I praised Espie, she stuck her head out at me while still using her ability.
When I patted her¡
¡°Really, you¡¯re awesome, Espie!¡±
¡°Nihehe~?¡±
And now, she kept smiling a grin was so enchanting and radiant¡
¡°H, hmm¡ wh, what are you saying¡ your abilities are certainly amazing, but¡ if it¡¯s a fight, I could do this much too¡ what, you want to make a fool of me¡ being all clingy as you get praised¡¡±
Hmm? Somehow, was yer standing there looking a little grumpy when he stared at us?
¡°You cowardly humans¡ then¡¡±
Oh, the magic has stopped. Has she given up?
¡°Come down this instant! Or I¡¯ll kill all the men we captured right now!¡±
¡°¡±Ah!??¡±¡±
She went and did something overly clich¨¦.
Then again, I should have expected it.
¡ºRest assured. She will not kill them anytime soon.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar!?¡¹
¡ºThe fact that they abducted men means that they are probably spoils of war ¡ and an offering to Norja. As such, she cannot kill them so easily.¡»
¡¸No¡ b, but¡¡¹
¡ºBesides, if you do as she says, you will be killed either way¡ then, you need not worry about it.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said I shouldn¡¯t be worried, but was that really the case?
They¡¯re probably not afraid to kill one or two people just to make an example¡
¡°What are you so troubled?¡±
¡°Huh¡ yer?¡±
¡°You evacuated most of the people in the town, right? Then, that¡¯s convenient. You don¡¯t have to worry about the surroundings¡ so now you can just do it like this!¡±
¡°Oh, hey, wait!?¡±
At that moment, yer moved on his own.
No, he wasn¡¯t really giving advice, but yer jumped off the ship in this situation.
¡°Oh! What are you doing? Big brother. Do I bring him back?¡±
¡°Oh, um¡¡±
Of course, it wasn¡¯t to surrender to the Demon King Army.
¡°Hmm? A child? Coming down alone¡¡±
¡°Here I go, ¡¾Extreme Lightning, Super Buster Sword¡¿!¡±
While falling, yer used his iron-making magic to instantly create a huge sword.
¡°Huh!? What!?¡±
¡°H, hey, where did that sworde from¡¡±
¡°Ah, watch out! Everyone, back away!¡±
As the Amazonesses turned pale and panicked as they tried to jump away from the spot, yer struck a merciless, powerful blow down into the town square.
The ground shattered, rubble scattered, and the impact sent the Amazonesses flying through the air.
¡°Hmph, it¡¯s no big deal. Even if it¡¯s the Demon King Army, it¡¯s not the Six Supremacy, so this is about as bad as it gets.¡±
Without negotiating, yer knocked down his attack and blew the opponent away.
I held my head in that situation¡
¡°Ah, aaaah! Not fair! I wanted to beat them up¡ but it¡¯s too dangerous, so first of all, rescue work¡ ugh!¡±
As for Espie, she was getting frustrated, as if the good part had been stolen.
Seriously, these little kids¡
¡°I¡¯ll take care of things here, okay? So why don¡¯t you go back to protecting the evacuees?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Anyway, for some reason, even though you¡¯re usually so cold, you¡¯re getting motivated, aren¡¯t you, yer?
And then¡¡
¡°Sure, I was surprised that she was one of the Seven Heroes, but¡¡¡¡¡ I¡¯m stronger.¡±
¡°Nnyu! What are you saying?!¡±
¡°And, uh, you too¡¡±
¡°Huh? Me?¡±
¡°I¡ I¡¯m much stronger than that child, more useful, and amazing! S, so, look at me¡ Hmm, Kohon¡ watch properly!¡±
Pointing at me and Espie from below, yer was full of motivation.
Somehow, don¡¯t you have a burning sense of rivalry with Espie?
No, no, before that, this was a strategy to avoid fighting the Demon King Army head on¡
Chapter 297: Praise
Chapter 297 ¨C Praise
¡°Now, engrave onto your body the requiem I shall y.¡±
yer, who jumped off the ship, said something ridiculously cringy, but to be honest, I¡¯m troubled.
Honestly, I have been trying to evacuate the people of the town and get away from the town, so that I wouldn¡¯t have to go into battle.
¡°Tch, what have you done, stupid brat¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you know how dreadful we are?¡±
¡°You little brats who don¡¯t even look like you¡¯ve grown up yet¡ my sisters will make you mess up!!¡±
The Amazonesses were blown away by yer¡¯s preemptive strike, their bodies battered and covered in dust.
Far from being annihted, those who still seemed to be in good shape were starting to wake up one by one, directing their anger toward yer with murderous intent.
But yer was unfazed.
¡°You can try it. You vulgar hags.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Ah!? I¡¯ll kill yooooou!!¡±¡±¡±
On the contrary, a provocation. Then, in the next moment, something in the Amazonesses snapped with a ¡°Buchi¡± and they all pounced at once in a rage.
¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death!¡±
¡°Cut him to shreds!¡±
¡°Strip him naked!¡±
So fast. Beastkin have the physical abilities of beasts.
They were truly wild¡ even though¡
¡°Hmph¡ I don¡¯t even need to use magic¡¡±
yer was still yer, a famous Hunter who made a name for himself by ying big monsters rather than wild beasts.
¡°¡¾yer Ultra Beef, Stroganoff Energy Punch¡¿!¡±
¡°Fuba!?¡±
Even though they were beastkin and soldiers, he was not a person who could be dealt with at an ordinary level.
¡°Th, this brat!¡±
¡°Hey, this brat is also capable! Let¡¯s do it in formation!¡±
¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll show you! Brat, these experienced older sisters will show you something amazing.¡±
Even if arge number of peoplee together at once¡
¡°Magical-¡ª¡±
¡°Jetstream¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Attac¡ª¡ª¡±
Calmly, on top of that, from the front¡¡
¡°¡¾Grand m, Buster Rush¡¿!!¡±
As if to show off his strength, with speed and power unimaginable from those small limbs, he kicked away the beastly carnivorous women.
¡°Guha, no, no, this boy¡ strong¡ a different ss!¡±
¡°Uh¡ withdraw! Return to the main army at once!¡±
¡°Damn, to such a brat¡¡±
I mean, the women had an unforgiving look on their faces¡ no, I don¡¯t know if I can say such naive things about them¡
And thanks to that, they felt the difference in power and steadily withdrew.
¡°Hmph, all that life experience and this is all you got? It was a wasted life.¡±
Anyway, with his overwhelming power, yer mercilessly knocked down the Amazonesses from the rubble with a smug face.
¡°Wow, that was amazing!¡±
¡°Oh, I can¡¯t believe you were so strong¡ he beat the Demon King Army!¡±
¡°The Allied garrison was wiped out, but on his own¡ yer, what a genius!¡±
¡°We¡¯re lucky, not only Lady Espie of the Seven Heroes, but even the genius yer was on this ship!¡±
¡°We¡¯re saved!¡±
And then, a loud cheer erupted from the ship at his performance.
¡°Hmm¡ if this is how it¡¯s going to be, don¡¯t make me do something tedious, let me take care of it from the start¡. ugh¡¡±
¡°W, well, don¡¯t say that, Espie. Because you evacuated everyone with your ability, they weren¡¯t taken hostage, and yer didn¡¯t have to worry about anything, so it¡¯s all thanks to you.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ but I wanted to be more active and get more praise¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay. I know you¡¯re awesome. You did great.¡±
¡°Ah¡ un~?¡±
On the other hand, Espie was sulking that yer had done a good job, but for now, I have to childe her and put her in a better mood.
¡°Hmm¡¡¡¡ wh, sh, she¡¯s getting clingy again¡ even though I was the one who did the work¡ Hmm¡¡±
Hmm? Is that wild yer over there looking at us and giving us a menacing re?
What is it, aren¡¯t you feeling better? What are you angry about¡¡
¡º¡¡ Go down¡ why not pat him on the head and give him some praise?¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
Then Tre¡¯ainar muttered something unexpected as he stood next to me, staring at yer.
¡¸No, no, what are you saying? He doesn¡¯t seem to like that sort of thing. He finds it annoying or overly familiar¡¡¹
¡º¡¡ Certainly¡¡ it would be annoying to be conveniently praised by adults who have nothing to do with it¡ but¡¡»
¡¸?¡¹
¡ºYou¡ are not such an adult to him¡ I believe.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar made a proposal with a smile as if he wanted to test me.
Is that really true?
Doesn¡¯t he usually say things like ¡°Shut up, don¡¯t talk to me¡±?
Well, but it¡¯s true that in the end, thanks to that guy¡¯s efforts, things here worked out somehow¡
¡°Geez¡ Espie, wait a minute.¡±
¡°Big brother? Oh¡¡±
I stopped stroking Espie and jumped right down.
¡°Hmm?¡±
yer then turned his expressionless face to me when I came down.
Words to say to such a yer.
That is¡¡
¡°Wasn¡¯t that amazing, yer?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°You were strong.¡±
¡°Hey, what are you doing, even though you made such a fool of me yesterday¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like that. Well, I was wondering what to do when you first jumped off¡ but I¡¯m d you¡¯re here after all.¡±
¡°Ah¡ ah¡¡±
For the time being, I honestly told him what I thought.
The Demon King Army that I didn¡¯t want to face¡ well, in the end, this guy solved that problem, reduced the burden on Espie, and above all, the residents and the people on the ship were not harmed.
Well, to my words, this guy¡
¡°Uh, noisy¡¡±
See, sure enough, this was just as I thought! Tre¡¯ainar, what could I be¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Well, I¡¯m a genius, so it¡¯s not a big deal at all, and it¡¯s just a matter of course, so I don¡¯t feel happy about being praised by an ordinary person, and it¡¯s annoying to be petted on the head. I was irritated earlier when that girl was praised even though she was supposedly weaker than me, so I¡¯m not jealous of her, don¡¯t get me wrong!¡±
Somehow, I unexpectedly ended up being bombarded with a lot of things.
He¡¯s really relentless, this boy.
However, even though he was somewhat reluctant, I could tell that he had opened his heart considerablypared to when we first met.
¡°Mmmmmmmmmuuuu~~~~~¡±
And in the sky above us, Espie, who got very swollen, was staring at us.
Damn, these guys¡
¡°You¡ filthy humans¡ no way, for these children, to me¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that moment, a woman swept and pushed through the rubble¡ the dark elf from earlier. Was she safe this whole time?
She looked a little injured, but she got up.
¡°What, you still haven¡¯t learned your lesson?¡±
¡°Hey, you¡ yourpanions have already retreated¡ what do you say? Rather, how about you pull out of this one?¡±
I suggested that they stop fighting, but the hatred and bloodlust that overflowed from the entire body of the dark elf in front of me involuntarily gave me chills.
¡°Hmph¡ you take me lightly¡ human¡¡ but¡¡ but¡¡ certainly, it would be tough to deal with Espie under the circumstances¡¡±
You still want to go, even if you give up your life? I thought, but will you make a surprisingly calm judgment?
Well, it would be reckless to fight Espie, one of the Seven Heroes who counter the Six Supremacy, under this situation.
So, are you going to retreat already?
¡°Fufufu, but¡ I saw it!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°You¡ I don¡¯t know who you are, but Espie seems quite fond of you, doesn¡¯t she? In other words, you are Espie¡¯s weakness¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
The dark elf suddenly turned to me with a distorted smile from her murderous re.
What the hell is this¡
¡°And the little boy there¡ he is certainly strong¡¡ but¡¡ no match for the Great General.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Fufufufu¡ isn¡¯t that right? Great General?¡±
What was she doing? Hmm? Mumbling something¡
¡ºTelepathy! This one is in telepathic contact somewhere¡ by no means!?¡»
¡°Understood! Returning now! With these guys! Fufufufu, hahahaha! It¡¯s toote for regrets, human!¡±
Tre¡¯ainar raised his voice as if in a panic.
In the next moment, a terrible magic enveloped the entire dark elf¡¯s body.
It was simr to Jamdi¡¯el¡¡
¡°?a??u?o?i?a?a ?o?o?e? ?en??o?a¡¡¡±
Chant? Magic? Attack? What the hell?
I brace myself for whateveres.
¡ºNu!? Tis a warp, child! Do not stand still! Move from the spot¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Medium-Distance Transfer Magic, ¡¾Tachzi¡¿¡±
The next moment, yer and I were swallowed up by a ck vortex that suddenly appeared in front of us.
Chapter 298: A Perverse Natural Disaster
Chapter 298 ¨C A Perverse Natural Disaster
No way, I never thought she could use the same warp as Jamdi¡¯el.
This is bad. I got separated from Espie.
How far away are we? Will we be able to meet up with them?
¨D¨DBig brother!
I remember the carefree smile on Espie¡¯s face.
Now, I wonder how much just disappearing from her sight without a word will hurt her.
Even if it¡¯s the ¡®final farewell of any kind¡¯ in this era, I won¡¯t ept this kind of parting.
I have to solve this problem right away, or Espie¡
¡°Great General! We¡¯ve arrived¡ huh? ¡¡ it¡¯s a little off¡¡±
¡°Kuh, where the hell is this¡ heh?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah?¡±
From the ck vortex to the bright light of the outside.
Where the hell are we? As soon as I thought that, the dark elf who brought us here¡ was her name Larou¡¯iph? screamed in a frenzied voice, and both yer and I couldn¡¯t believe our eyes at the sight that suddenly came into view.
¡°Wha, what is it¡ you¡¡±
¡°You suddenly appeared¡¡ so young¡¡±
¡°The Demon King Army¡ no way, even these boys¡¡±
I thought we would be taken right in front of Norja, but we couldn¡¯t believe the sight in front of us.
¡°Wha¡ what in the world is this?¡±
Surprised by our appearance, there were ¡°human¡± men with sad expressions on their faces forming a long line of people in rows and columns.
Their hands were tied with ropes, and we knew they were prisoners of war.
And from the fact that most of them have strong bodies, we can tell that they were captured Allied soldiers or fishermen.
And from thendscape ¡ you can see the sea¡ a moor?
I don¡¯t think it¡¯s too far from Ghenkan.
But I don¡¯t know¡
¡°Uh, ugh, th, this is¡¡±
yer looked like he was about to throw up.
No wonder.
¡°W, why¡¡±
Why¡¡
¡°Why are they all naked?¡±
Yes, these guys were all naked.
They weren¡¯t even wearing underwear.
Won¡¯t they catch a cold? shers? A naked festival?
¡°Hah~¡¡±
Then Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me, sighed.
¡ºJust by looking at the prisoners ¡ tis easy to tell which army is holding them captive¡¡»
He held his head down a little and stammered, but he had a somewhat nostalgic yetplicated smile on his face.
Do you know whose army it is?
Eh? Is this normal?
¡°Hey, over there! What are you bbing about? Don¡¯t disrupt the queue!¡±
At that moment, a woman¡¯s shouting voice rang out.
¡°The Great General¡¯s examination is about to begin¡ hey, you two! Why are you still dressed? Hurry up and getpletely naked¡ ah¡¡±
¡°Larou¡¯iph! What are you doing there¡¡±
¡°What about the execution of all the residents in Ghenkan and the procurement of money, goods, and food?¡±
The crowd around us broke apart, and from the other side came a group of armed Amazonesses.
They saw us and yelled for a moment, but soon recognized Larou¡¯iph.
¡°These are¡ª¡±
Larou¡¯iph tried to exin us¡ that was then.
¡°Eehh!??¡±
¡°Uh, oh¡¡±
What? The air? The atmosphere? No, a sudden freezing chill hit me.
I wasn¡¯t attacked by anything.
And yet, my whole body was shuddering.
It wasn¡¯t just me.
¡°What¡ th, this is¡ uh, ugh¡¡±
yer was shivering too, sweat running down his cheeks even though it should be cold.
¡°It¡¯s,ing¡¡±
¡°¡¡ a monster¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s¡ the strongest of the Demon King Army¡¡ One of the Six Supremacy¡¡±
And all the sturdy naked men around us went pale and trembled.
What was it? What happened¡¡
¡ºShe approaches¡ child¡¡ hold your head up.¡»
¡¸Eh!?¡¹
¡ºTis fine. As you are now¡ you will not be crushed under the pressure of the current Six Supremacy.¡»
I see. Under this overwhelming pressure, the faces of Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, and even the Dragon King of Hades Vasr suddenly appeared in my mind.
Without a doubt, the source of this pressure was in that ss¡
¡°No~, oh my gosh, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry! Seriously I am so~ sorry~.¡±
I heard a voice out of nowhere.
Just hearing that voice made my trembling even stronger.
And at the same time, something emerged from under the sea with a huge ssh of water.
¡°I was like, totally drunk and, you know, had to pee so bad. And wow~, peeing in the water is, like, so amazing ?.¡±
Out of the sea¡ a huge¡¡ monster? Creature? Beast?
Whatever it is, it¡¯s huge!
With a body as big as Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades¡ a Fox? And it has nine tails?
¡ºHmph¡ ¡®that¡¯ form¡ well, in order to show dignity to the prisoners, it would be better to disy her ¡®beast form¡¯¡¡»
¡¸Wha¡ what, is that¡¡¹
¡ºLook carefully, child. Although the wanted documents listed her form as a ¡®humanoid¡¯ ¡ that is also the appearance of that one¡ a mutation of the fox beastkin¡ a Nine-Tailed Fox, the Damsel Commander, Norja!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar beside me narrowed his eyes and looked up somewhat nostalgically.
So, this fellow?!
On the wanted list, she looked very young and wore a tasteless outfit¡
¡°So¡ like, erm~, what was it? Oh~, I remember, I¡¯m gonna pick a pet.¡±
Coming out of the sea to the shore, it shook its soaking wet body at high speed to send water flying.
A lot of water falls on us like rain, but we¡¯re all so speechless that we don¡¯t care about that.
¡°Nihahaha¡¡±
The ground shook with just one step.
The corners of the monster¡¯s mouth hang up.
ncing at us from above, what are you doing?
¡°So like, only those who really don¡¯t wanna die, bark woof woof like dogs and suck up to me. Then if I feel like it, I might, you know, keep you, is what I¡¯d like to say¡ Hm~m¡.. at a nce, none of these look like they¡¯re in my strike zone.¡±
¡¡ Huh?
For a moment I didn¡¯t understand what she was saying.
¡°St¡.. stop screwing around, Norja of the Six Supremacy! Such disservice! Is this, is this how you bastards do things!?¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
At that moment, while naked with his hands and feet bound, a man barked at Norja¡
¡°If this is your¡ the Demon King Army¡¯s way, then I will dly die¡ª¡ª ¡°
¡°Rude, I¡¯m still talking here!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
In the next moment, Norja¡¯s tail swung down vigorously like a hammer, and a huge bottomless hole appeared in front of the barking human¡
¡°Ah, awah¡ ah¡ª¡±
If it had been just a bit off, he would have been crushed t¡ knowing that, the man who shouted bravely had his spirit broken just now and pulled back.
¡°Nihahahaha, be d I¡¯m a gentle soul, like, I don¡¯t go on random killing sprees like our Hakuki and that fiend Paripi¡ well¡ um~¡ oh yeah, that¡¯s right, the potential pet¡ Hmm~¡ got it.¡±
Then, Norja, who seemed to havee to an idea after pondering something, smirked at the corner of his huge mouth.
What are you going to do?
¡°Time to fly away, woo-hoo~!¡±
¡°Huh¡?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨DEehh!!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
In the next moment, Norja slowly sat down on the spot and wagged her huge tail.
Was it just Mega ss? No, a gust of wind that was even more fierce suddenly blew!
My body staggered with the force that can be felt from the front to the back.
If this is the case at this distance, what about those in the front?
¡°¡±¡±¡±Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And then, right in front of us, hundreds of naked men came flying all at once, screaming at the current gust of wind.
¡°Damn, tte, oh no! Uo, oooooooooohh!!!¡±
I was hit by the flying naked guys, and in the end, I couldn¡¯t endure and was blown away too.
¡°No, it¡¯s sweatyyyy! Butts are flyiiiing!! Ugaaaaaa!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t bear to watch¡¡±
It was so sudden and shocking that I couldn¡¯t react right away.
Oh no. What about yer?
¡°Great General, Ku, ¡¾Mega Windshield¡¿!¡±
¡°G, gross! Ironmake, ¡¾Iron Dome¡¿!¡±
¡°Hii, General, we¡¯re here too!?¡±
¡°Not good. Hey, you damn men, out of the way!¡±
¡°Geez, Great General¡¡±
Oh, both Larou¡¯iph and yer used magic to defend against it, but me¡ yer¡¡ I wanted you to help me with that magic as well¡
I mean, Norja¡¯s subordinates were getting caught up in it too, right?
¡°Tch, ku, guh, uwaaaaaah!¡±
I was blown away and hit my back somewhere.
What¡¯s that clunking noise?
¡ºOi, child, brace yourself! And¡ endure the hellish scene¡¡»
¡°Ahchichichi¡ what the heck¡ Hmm? This is¡¡±
I was blown away and plunged into a mess of loose armor, helmets, and weapons.
They were engraved with the markings of the Allied Forces.
¡°Uh, ah, gah¡¡±
¡°You¡ Monster fox¡¡±
¡°Such might¡¡±
And around me were strong, naked men whose bodies had been simrly beaten to a pulp.
But their eyes were somehow weak.
Surely most people will understand by now.
The overwhelming difference in power, like a natural disaster¡
¡°Nihahahaha, I, like, totally went easy enough not to kill. Now, who¡¯s gonna stand up¡ and still get all up in my face? Oh, my cutepatriots. Their spirits are broken. You can eat any small fry you want ?.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Hyuuuuuuuuuuu, as expected of the Great General!!¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°But just, don¡¯t touch the rebellious one with backbone, like, especially the cool bearded dandies.¡±
And then, the natural disaster resounded with a gleefulugh.
¡°A strong-willed guy¡ a handsome dandy man with a robust body and unbreakable spirit, who stands tall and keeps fighting till the end, like, stylish hunks with attitude¡ I totally wanna put a cor on him and tame him! Make him crawl naked on all fours, lift one leg to pee, then shave off all his rough hair to make him smooth all over, and shove all sorts of things, like, you know, in his butt¡ Ufufufufu, I wanna mess him up and make him cry while he makes a disgusting face!!¡±
A roar that shook thend and shook even the atmosphere.
Dangerous. The things pouring out of that giant beast are all kinds of dangerous¡ it¡¯s so bad, but¡
¡¸I¡¯ve had advance information from you, but¡ but after seeing it in person¡ I¡¯ll say it again! Is there anyone decent, among the Six Supremacy!? I don¡¯t get why there isn¡¯t as much tension as there was with Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi!¡¹
Even from a distance, you can tell just by looking at its existence.
That¡¯s a special case.
Certainly, Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, and Vasr were in the realm of the strongest ss.
Yes, I know that¡ but¡¡
¡ºYes, other than her propensity, she waspetent¡ and also quite popr with her subordinates¡¡»
¡¸That¡¯s why, choose not only based on abilities and achievements, but also on personality! Spare me from some pervert with natural disaster-like powers!¡¹
I had too many retorts to give that my head hurt.
Chapter 299: The Present Is All the Matters
Chapter 299 ¨C The Present Is All the Matters
¡°Hahaha,e on, get up! And, like, show off those boners ?.¡±
The monster fox roared so loudly that the air trembled.
A monster on the level of Vasr, who appeared in picture books.
What can I do against this thing¡
¡°Great General, that came out of nowhere. I was almost killed myself.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
That¡¯s when it happened.
¡°Hmm? Oh~~~, Lal, I¡¯m so d you¡¯re okay~! Oh~, now that I think about it, your telepathic message¡ erm~¡±
¡°¡¡ Haa~¡¡ it¡¯s about Espie¡¡±
¡°Ah, that¡¯s it. Sorry sorry. So, like, how about it? Where¡¯s the idiot brat of the Seven Heroes who, like, beat up my cute subordinates and my friend Shojovich?¡±
In the midst of this hellish scene, Larou¡¯iph stepped forward with a wry smile, and Norja, noticing this,ughed heartily.
And then¡.
¡°There.¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh¡¡±
There was a single iron sphere rolling across the in.
The next moment, the sphere cracked¡
¡°Tch¡ you monster¡¡±
From inside, yer stood up with sweat running down his cheeks.
tte, not good, I must¡
¡ºWait, child!¡»
¡°What is it?¡±
¡ºI heard that the future Norja holds a position in the new government of the Demon Realm¡¡»
¡°Hmm? Oh, that¡¯s right. she often met with my father and mother¡¡±
¡ºShe knows your face, does she not? In that case, the reason why you cannot show your face at this time¡¡»
¡°Ah¡¡±
It¡¯s like that.
Koujiro was blind, and I couldn¡¯t help but show my face to the people of the Demon King Army who didn¡¯t know who I was, but when it came to Norja, naturally ¡
¡°What~? You¡¯re not that Espie brat.¡±
¡°Yes, this person seems to be one of Espie¡¯spanions¡ however, even though he is a child, his power is¡¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh~, who was it¡ oh my gosh, that¡¯s right! It¡¯s that genius hunter boy that Gouda and the gang were bbing about, like, I¡¯m sure it was¡¡±
¡°Huh!? Oh¡¡±
Norja smiled, and Larou¡¯iph also seemed to have realized.
His true identity¡
¡°For sure¡ yer? Was that his name?¡±
¡°¡¡ fuh¡ it¡¯s an honor to have the legendary Six Supremacy know my name.¡±
¡°Niha¡¡ nihahahaha¡ houhou~, I see¡ makes sense. He¡¯s got those nice eyes and, like, such a vibe. He looks way more fun than those potential pets I just blew away. But~¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like hairy brats. They¡¯re no fun to shave ?.¡±
In the next moment, Norja¡¯s tail rose slowly¡
¡°Huh!?¡±
The tail swung down at high speed towards yer.
¡°Don¡¯t look down on me, monster!¡±
¡°Oho ?.¡±
yer reacted. Evasion. As expected, he can¡¯t be hit so easily.
And even while dodging¡
¡°Ironmake, ¡¾Ultra Hyper Darkness Balmung¡¿!¡±
¡°Nihaha, so that¡¯s the rumored handy magic? Maybe you should change your job to cksmith instead of Hunter.¡±
¡°Shut up, I¡¯m going to take that head¡ª¡ª¡±
He pounced on a counterattack¡ wait!
Such a huge weapon will certainly be effective if it hits, but the opponent is a Six Supremacy.
Attacking head-on is¡
¡°What? Is that it~?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
In the first ce, even if you dodge one tail, Norja has nine huge tails.
A second one reached out from yer¡¯s blind spot, binding his tiny body and capturing him.
¡°D, damn¡¡±
¡°Nihahahaha, what~, you¡¯ve musta been, like, super lucky with your opponents so far¡ even with all your talent, once you¡¯re outta luck, you¡¯ll die in no time¡ that¡¯s why I hate kids¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°Kuh, let go! Kuuuuuuuuu!¡±
¡°Hmm, even in this situation, that¡¯s a good eye. Maybe in twenty years¡ hmm?¡±
Oh no, yer.
I¡¯m in no position to hesitate.
I have to do it.
No matter what happens to history, I can¡¯t just abandon him here¡
¡°Hmm~¡¡¡±
¡°Wh, what! Staring at people so closely is¡¡±
¡°Mm-hmm Mm-hmm¡¡±
Hmm, what happened? Norja was looking at yer, apparently thinking about something.
¡°There was this old story¡ about this guy named Shainen Genji who took a young girl and tried to mold her to fit his taste¡ mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm¡¡¯
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Taming him while looking ahead to the future¡ Gufu ?.¡±
¡°Wha¡!?¡±
¡°Well,pared to my lifetime, humans grow up, like, so fast¡ it would be fun to keep an observation diary until you grow a beard and a vigorous shlong ?.¡±
¡°Eh¡ d, don¡¯t be silly¡ who do you think you are!¡±
¡°Oho ? It¡¯s fine it¡¯s fine! Those eyes, aah, that spirit, I wanna leave you messed up and in tears like crazy ?¡±
Ah, this is¡ as expected, it¡¯s dangerous¡ I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll be killed, but he¡¯s also in danger in a different sense.
yer was also horrified and pale.
¡°Not good, I should help¡ but is that okay? I¡¯ll show my face and¡¡±
¡ºNo other choice¡ huh¡ then again, ording to reports, in this scene¡ Espie was¡ but now¡¡»
¡°Hmm? Oh¡ I see¡¡±
If I remember correctly, in the ¡°true history¡± that Tre¡¯ainar was referring to, ¡°Espie fought Norja and escaped with the prisoners¡±.
And the yer of the present age is alive and well.
In other words, even if I don¡¯t do anything, he¡¯ll be saved, and Espie will help them¡ that means¡ but¡¡
¡°¡¡ ah, wh, what am I supposed to do? Do I just¡ keep watching like this¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡»
This time, it wasn¡¯t like the Demon King Army soldiers I met in the forest, whose names I don¡¯t even know.
It¡¯s also different from the time with Koujiro.
Here, I will fight Norja of the Six Supremacy¡ that¡¯s how much¡¡
¡°Fuh~¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar sighed once, but immediately smiled at me.
¡ºChild¡ even if the world we are in is in the past¡ the present, this moment here with you and I, is all that matters. Then, in this moment, forget about the passage of time and everything else. Just face the reason you absolutely must fight¡ right in front of you¡¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡¡±
¡ºDid I not say it in the woods where you first met Espie in this era? I suppose tis the way of history¡ you have no choice but to act!¡»
¡°But¡¡±
¡ºBesides that, no matter what sort of influence you have on the Demon King Army of this era¡ do not feel guilty for my sake. I am not so daintily inclined as to be perceived in such a manner by you.¡»
Yes, the reason why I stubbornly didn¡¯t want to fight the Demon King Army in this world wasn¡¯t entirely about the impact it would have on history.
If anything happens to the Demon King Army in this era because I did something unnecessary, I¡¯ll indirectly put Tre¡¯ainar at a disadvantage¡ stop thinking about it, Tre¡¯ainar pushed me out.
¡ºDo not feel sorry for the Great Demon King. Do listen to the words of your master.¡»
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡ Kuhahaha¡¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ yeah¡¡ I get it¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar was right. I mean, this isn¡¯t the kind of opponent you can deal with while distracted by other stuff.
Don¡¯t think about it¡ just¡¡ help yer.
How do I help?
¡°I¡¯m going to beat her up!!¡±
¡ºAh, tis so! Unlike Jamdi¡¯el, who left openings and was not trying to kill you, or the Paripi who lived an idle life¡ this one is still active as one of my six arms¡ your parents¡¯ nemesis, the Six Supremacy¡ and you will ¡®beat her up¡¯!!¡»
I got it. That is truly a Six Supremacy who is still active and fighting in the world of warfare.
I¡¯ll do it.
In fact, I have to surpass even that.
¡°Okay, here I go¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm? Oh, child! Wait a moment! That¡¡»
¡°Hmm? ¡¡ Oh! Oh, that¡¯s it.¡±
And before I gave up and showed Norja my face, Tre¡¯ainar noticed something and pointed at it.
When I saw that, I couldn¡¯t help but raise my voice.
For once, it was fortunate that the Allied Forces were stripped naked.
Thanks to this, the helms that were originally worn by the stripped soldiers were lying at my feet.
¡°The ck helm¡ ah, there¡¯s a cape too! Cool! Alright, let¡¯s do this¡¡±
¡ºWait, you need only hide your face¡¡»
Well, I know it¡¯s inappropriate, but I¡¯m getting a little excited.
Now I can hide my true identity and do whatever I want.
¡°Nihahahaha, then¡ for starters, let¡¯s make sure there¡¯s, like, absolutely no bushes growing ?¡±
¡°Huh!? S, stop, wha, what are you doing! I won¡¯t allow you, to humiliate me, s, stop, stop¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Also, what might be hiding under¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Ok, done!
¡°Waahahahahaha, waahahahahaha! Enough, Damsel Commander Norja! I will not tolerate any more atrocities!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm? What is it? Thisughter¡¡±
¡°¡¡ What? Hey¡¡ who are you?¡±
At that moment, my voice seemed to reach them, and Norja, the Amazonesses under Norja, and yer all turned their eyes to me at once.
The Allied soldiers and the men of Genkhan who were knocked down by Norja¡ were unconscious or were in a daze and not reacting much¡ well, okay.
¡°¡¡ Who am I? Um¡¡ The Knight in ck¡±
I was wearing a ck helm and a ck cloak¡
¡°I¡ no, if there is a child in this world who sheds tears, even if they are a monster, I will not condone it! An ally of good children! I am, Ragaan-Man!!¡±
When Norja asked who I was, I replied.
¡°Ragaanman? Never heard of you¡¡±
¡°Then let it be engraved on your body. The name of the one who will defeat you!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Yes, just like the heroes I admired when I was a kid.
The pose was perfect too.
¡ºWrong¡ you are hiding your face, so you need not change your tone¡ eh? Is that your ideal? And if tis a fake name, even Tapil Bael would be adequate¡¡»
Hmm? It seems unpopr with Tre¡¯ainar.
No, I don¡¯t like Tapil Bael.
Besides¡¡
¡°W, wow¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Ragaan-Man¡ s¡ So Cool¡¡ ¡°
It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen it. Where yer¡¯s eyes were sparkling.
Somehow, like when I saved my father when he was a child, he looked at me with pure, sparkling eyes.
I have to respond to that properly.
Chapter 300: I’ll Definitely Protect You
Chapter 300 ¨C I¡¯ll Definitely Protect You
¡°¡¾Breakthrough¡¿¡±
¡°What? That light¡ it¡¯s like¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, ¡¾Great Demon Goose Step¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¡ Nuh, fast!¡±
Power, speed, skill, tactics.
I¡¯ll challenge you with everything I¡¯ve got.
I¡¯ll spare no effort.
¡°Great General! Well, first of all, we¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°Stand back, everyone!¡±
The Amazonesses tried to stand in front of me as I started running.
But before they could make a move, Norja took control.
¡°¡¡ even if you all ganged up on him, you wouldn¡¯t stand a chance¡¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh My Gosh¡¡ Lal, seriously, what kinda guy did you bring here? The ¡®color¡¯ is not like the Great Demon King¡¯s, but¡ no way it¡¯s him¡¡±
Don¡¯t allow any interruptions.
Norja wanted to face me herself.
¡°Uoooooooh, ¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Oho ?.¡±
¡°Uraaaaaaaaaah!¡±
A barrage! Consecutive hits! Hit after hit after hit after hit!
But, as expected of Norja. She manipted her big fluffy tail freely and shot down all the shockwaves I threw at her.
She saw through it all.
¡ºIt may be a flicker, however tis still a mere left jab. Do not reveal too much. For now, tis enough to suppress her.¡»
¡¸Osu.¡¹
¡ºNorja¡¯s nine tails can be whips, gusts of wind, sharp des, huge blunt weapons, tornadoes, or impregnable shields. First, get ustomed to the movements, surface area, and mass of the tails.¡»
Of course, I didn¡¯t expect the flickers alone to do any damage.
It¡¯s just preparation. The opponent is a Six Supremacy.
It¡¯s all for the sake of delivering my greatest and strongest blow.
¡°You¡¯re a bit cocky, and like, so annoying!¡±
And a counterattack from Norja.
Perhaps sensing that it would be too much effort just to block my flickers, she swung one of her tails down at me.
I guess she¡¯s nning to turn the tip into a sharp de and stab me, but¡
¡°You won¡¯t hit me.¡±
I won¡¯t be hit by such a big swing. I backstep and¡
¡°Nihahaha, gotcha ?.¡±
And right after I backstep, another tail came around behind me and tried to wrap me up.
Of course, I already knew that.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Cross Step¡¿¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Just before it grabbed me from behind, I dodged it by stepping to the left.
Then, seeing that the use of two tails to attack made her defense slightly thinner, I aimed at Norja¡¯s face¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Smash¡¿!!¡±
I unleashed an upper-like shockwave diagonally from below.
I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t hit her, though.
¡°¡¡ Hou~.¡±
Sure enough, a third tail acted as a shield against my shockwave right in front of Norja¡¯s eyes.
I see.
I had to go through six more tails before I could hit her.
It¡¯s a tedious task.
On the other hand¡
¡°I see¡ so that¡¯s what it is¡ aside from this Hunter boy¡ there¡¯s, like, a strong guy that even the Demon King Army doesn¡¯t know about¡. with this, I get why Lal and the others couldn¡¯t handle this guy.¡±
It seemed that the other party also saw my condition and somewhat grasped my ability.
¡°What, that mask¡ no, I suppose it¡¯s the man I brought with me¡ but still¡¡±
¡°Oh, no¡ I mean, there are people who can go toe to toe with the General¡besides the Seven Heroes¡¡±
¡°Hey, hey~, the General isn¡¯t serious yet, you know.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Just watch, he will soon be ravished by the Great General.¡±
The Amazonesses seemed to be a little surprised about me.
And in order to avoid any coteral damage, they were a bit far away.
But they don¡¯t seem to doubt what will happen to their boss at this level.
Naturally, Norja¡¯s power was still way off.
¡°Now¡ and how are you able to, like, use that glowing power¡ I¡¯m even more curious. Let¡¯s strip you naked ¡¡ and expose you in more ways than one!!¡±
Here shees! This time¡¡ five at once!
One tail restrained yer, three tails defended, and the remaining five attacked me.
As if they were filling in all directions, leaving no escape¡
¡ºThere is a way out. Tis hard to see, and a difficult route to take, but¡ child, not as you are now!¡»
Yes, the technique that I¡¯ve been honing ever since I came to this era.
¡°¡¾Magical Radar¡¿!¡±
In the forest, in the fight with Koujiro, and on the ship ¡ the threat looming toward me, and the slightest opening in that threat, now I won¡¯t miss it!
¡°Here!!¡±
¡°Wh¡ at!?¡±
I see a Shining Road through the looming threat.
Following that path, I dodged the five tails attacking at the same time as I moved forward.
I was able to close the distance with Norja in one fell swoop.
At the foot of her gigantic figure.
¡°Here I go, ¡¾Great Demon¨C¡°
¡°No ya don¡¯t!¡±
Now that I had entered her bosom, the remaining three tails naturally blocked Norja¡¯s face and other vital points to protect them.
But I wasn¡¯t aiming there yet.
First¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Right Straight¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
I hit the midsection of the tail that was holding yer.
Maybe that was the only thing Norja didn¡¯t expect, but her defense was weak, and the impact caused her to release yer.
¡°Tou!¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
Then, I caught the falling yer and opened the distance with Norja.
First, yer must be evacuated to a safe zone.
Otherwise, I can¡¯t help but worry about my flickers in the uing battle.
¡°Are you hurt? Boy?¡±
¡°Eh, ah¡ I, I¡¯m okay¡¡±
¡°Right. It¡¯s all right, because I¡¯m here now.¡±
I carried yer in my arms to a secluded spot and lowered him to the ground.
¡°Oh, um, you¡¯re¡¡±
¡°Leave the rest to me. With my pride, I will definitely protect you. Please watch over me from here! Later then!¡±
¡ºCease, you ¡¡ have taken this too far¡¡»
yer looked a little dazed, but I¡¯m relieved that he doesn¡¯t appear to be injured. Well, a little longer and he would have been defiled.
¡°What¡ so cool¡ R, Ragaan-Man¡.. who the hell are you!?¡±
¡ºUuurgh!? He seriously had not realized your true identity¡ no, he is surprisingly a simpleton, this fellow¡¡»
I thought he was a scruffy brat, but he¡¯s surprisingly pure and pleasant, that yer.
And, as always, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s sense was off point, which is a problem, but from here on, we have to fight together without any cracks, so let¡¯s not butt heads over this.
¡°Nihahaha¡ you¡¯re good¡ neat¡¡ it¡¯s been, like, so long! Oh you! I haven¡¯t gotten wet from a fight in a long time! I¡¯ll keep you! I¡¯ll keep you! I will hunt you and keep yoooouu ?.¡±
And in response to this situation, Norja was neither angry nor surprised, just smiling happily.
That smile was sharper and more sinister than when she tried to y around with yer.
¡ºFuh~, well, regardless of your taste¡ it begins here, child. Finally, that one will wield her power¡ and her fighting style¡ which she calls¡ª¡ª¡»
¡°Check it out! You should be honored! A fighting style I only show those I really wanna fight¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Until now, she had only moved her tail, but now the muscles of Norja¡¯s legs and even her whole body were tense, and she looked intimidating, like a wild beast on the hunt.
If I hadn¡¯t met Vasr, Jamdi¡¯el, and Paripi, I might have lost myposure to this.

Chapter 301: Intermission (Fox Woman)
Chapter 301 ¨C Intermission (Fox Woman)
A certain day suddenly came back to me, when I was unloading to a friend over a drink.
¨D¨DNuwahahahaha, th¡¯ perverted fox woman who has shattered th¡¯ hearts and dignity of countless sturdyds has such concerns? A wee bitte aren¡¯t we¡¡ Nuwahahahaha!!
¨D¨DDon¡¯t evenugh, Vasr. I¡¯m, like, desperate here. I mean, just one fated guy is good enough for me. One dandy who can take endless teasing without breaking, and like, won¡¯t give in, that¡¯s all I need! But seriously, everyone here is, like, such a pushover. A little teasing and they¡¯re all, ¡®Sure, put the cor on me,¡¯ and then they¡¯re, like, on all fours going ¡®Woof woof¡¯ with their dongs hanging. Seriously, such total weaklings, it¡¯s, like, ugh..
¨D¨DIf th¡¯ weak won¡¯t do, then why not th¡¯ strong? There must be some who are stronger than you, yesh? Oh, I am not legible, mind you. I have enough wives, and I intended that one to be th¡¯st love in my life.
¨D¨DHmph. What¡¯s so great about that snarky female hero? Well, aside from that, like, wanting someone strong is fine, but someone stronger than me is a no-no. I wanna be able to easily pin him down and tease him, so they gotta be weak enough for that, but still, like, tough in the heart, you know?
¨D¨DSurely someone like that can¡¯t possibly exist! How twisted of you~¡¡ but if that¡¯s th¡¯ case¡ Hakuki is stronger than you are¡ must th¡¯ candidate be a demon? If humans too¡ someone like Mikado is¡ uncertain. He¡¯s about th¡¯ same level as you, I reckon!
¨D¨DHell no, Mikado is so not my type. Like, he¡¯s always so preachy, I just can¡¯t~. I mean, does he even count as a human? Pretty sure he¡¯s some sorta half sage or something.
¨D¨DTh¡¯ ego on you~, not to mention, being so bothered over wee trifles¡ isn¡¯t that why you¡¯re sote to bloom?
¨D¨DNuwaaaaaaah, don¡¯t say that!
Ragaan-Man.
I don¡¯t know who he is under that mask, but for sure, he¡¯s pretty skilled.
From the sound of his voice, he¡¯s gotta be, like, in his early teens or so as humans age.
For me, that¡¯s out of my strike zone, but it sounds fun to, like, maybe consider keeping them for the future.
I wanna keep him as, like, a pet along with that Hunter kid.
Will you fulfill my wish?
No idea.
So gotta check.
I¡¯m gonna get him for sure ?.
¡°Nihahaha, hey! You guys, like, stay back! I¡¯m gonna go wild a bit. Don¡¯t get caught up in it.¡±
¡°¡±¡±You got it!!¡±¡±¡±
¡°Now then~, let¡¯s gooooooo!¡±
If I go wild in this form, my attacks go all wide range. It¡¯s great for crushing enemies, but my people will get dragged in it too.
Especially when dealing with opponents who can¡¯t be beat with, like, just a swish or two of my tail, like this guy.
¡°I¡¯ming¡¡ª¡ª¡±
But still, if I use my F¨±rinkazan, it will, like, kill him in an instant.
Fuu¡¡ A secret move where nine tails are swung like whips at high speed to create wind des from the shockwaves, blowing everything around away.
Rin¡¡ A one-hit kill blow in which the nine tails are bound together and struck down like a giant hammer.
Ka¡¡ A defensive maneuver that uses nine tails to deflect all attacks.
Zan¡¡ An irond barrier that covers the whole body with nine tails and is impervious to any attack.
That¡¯s, like, my ultimate secret technique. There is no one that has broken it¡ except The Great Demon King, and Vasr, and Kaguya, and Mikado, and um¡ okay, there may be quite a few who did¡ but, seriously, like, this guy¡¯s got no chance in hell!
¡°Swift¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°¡¾Ragaan Goose Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
I was totally gonna rip him to shreds with my wind¡ make him run around, mess with him slowly until he cried and peed himself¡ or so I thought, but before I could even activate my technique, this guy didn¡¯t run away, and, like, instead jumped right at my feet¡
¡°Hehe, you¡¯re crazy to jump in like that.¡±
¡°Hehe, now, is that what you think?¡±
This guy¡¡ isn¡¯t it scary to jump at a huge opponent like me?
Or was that his n?
Fighting with this huge body of mine is, like, so hard because I can¡¯t maneuver against small enemies who are wandering around at my feet.
And worse, attacks with F¨±rinkazan are great for a wide range hit, but sucks when it¡¯s too close. If I mess up, my own tail attack might even hit me and, like, self-destruct.
¡°I¡¯m gonna stomp him!¡±
Alright then, I¡¯ll trample him with my hands and feet, rip him up with my ws¡ Oh! I wanna keep this guy, so I can¡¯t kill him¡
¡°¡¾Great D¡ no not that, ¡¾Ragaan Split Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Nuh?!¡±
Ah, stomping with my front foot on this guy¡ did he dodge like it was nothing?
He¡¯s pretty fast, but¡ the movements are lean and, like, so sharp! And his reactions are quick too.
¡°Just running around¡ but how are you gonna beat me with that?¡±
Anyway, gotta stop him from moving, even if it hurts him a bit.
If he can move like this, then, like, I can probably hit him a bit harder without, you know, actually killing him.
Then again, even if he doesn¡¯t die, he¡¯ll be bedridden for life, then I¡¯ll strip him down, shave him, and grab hold and y with it ?.
¡°Lookie here, if even one hitnds, it¡¯s gonna be a major catastrophe?. With my ws¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Ragaan Sonic Phantom Punch¡¿¡±
¡°Hobu!?¡±
¨D¨D¨Dwhat?
Just now, the moment I attacked, a shock hit my jaw¡ I pulled my chin back quick, so it was no biggie, but, like¡ what was that?
An attack from my blind spot?
¡°As I thought, a counter of this level is nothing against such a big guy¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°But it depends on where you hit¡¡±
This Ragaan-Man guy¡ countered?
A counter with a shockwave unleashed from his fist, matching my attack?
¡°Hmph, did you do something? That was no biggie. Even if you get a hundred shots, I¡¯m still good.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll put a thousand shots in!¡±
¡°Nu~, still running around, like¡ argh, so annoying! I¡¯m gonna stomp you and rip you to shreds!¡±
This guy¡¡ knows what he¡¯s doing.
In this form, my attack power is, like, massive. I have arge stride, so my speed is good.
But, with this huge body, I¡¯m a big target for opponents, so if I¡¯m attacked, I get hit quite a bit.
¡°¡¾Ragaan Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Nihahaha, what¡¯s up with that!¡±
This guy, just now, he aimed right at my eyeballs for sure!
Oh no. If I get attacked in the eyes or, like, my mouth, it¡¯s gonna hurt, even for me.
This guy¡¯s, like, fighting with that in mind.
¡°I¡¯m gonna chop up every troublesome fly! Swift¨D¨D¨D¨D!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t keep your distance!¡±
¡°Nuh¡¡±
Right now, the moment I tried to step back a little and use my F¨±rinkazan¡ no, even before that.
The moment I stepped in to get some space, this guy had already moved around to the other side¡ it¡¯s as if he knew I was gonna do that.
¡°Nihahaha, you sure move a lot¡ are you really that scared of my F¨±rinkazan?¡±
Is this guy, like, trying to prevent me from using my F¨±rinkazan?
¡°Kuhahahaha, as a peerless Six Supremacy, you¡¯re not saying you can¡¯t win without it, right?¡±
It¡¯s only been, like, a few seconds since the battle started, but one thing¡¯s crystal clear.
This guy is fighting, knowing exactly what I hate.
This should be the first time I¡¯ve faced this guy.
But, he fights like he knows all about me, and worse, with no fear or hesitation.
It¡¯s like he¡¯s figured out strategies from the info he¡¯s gathered about me and is acting on them, but he¡¯s so sure that he can ¡°totally trust¡± those strategies.
¡°Nihahahaha, as if I would lose anyway.¡±
No kidding, like, he¡¯s got me there.
He¡¯s way stronger and more troublesome than I first thought.
But, for me, this guy is just¡ a little tricky to deal with¡ that¡¯s all.
This guy is not normal for sure.
An unknown being with powers kinda like the Great Demon King¡¯s Breakthrough.
Those agile moves and those punches are no joke.
But, with this level of power and speed¡ gotta say,pared to the Seven Heroes and all that, this guy¡¯s within range¡
¡°Well, like, let¡¯s tussle a little longer.¡±
Him being beneath the Seven Heroes¡ it¡¯s still too soon to say that.
This guy hasn¡¯t gone all out yet, not by a long shot.
And thing is, there¡¯s, like, ¡°something¡± about this guy.
He¡¯s not like the Seven Heroes, I feel something like an extrayer.
¡°Nihahahaha,e on, I¡¯ming, I¡¯ming~, right there ?¡±
For real, I¡¯m getting even more into him.
Let¡¯s y around a little bit more.
I¡¯m gonna draw out everything this guy¡¯s got and then consider keeping him as a pet.
So, like, don¡¯t go giving up on me too soon, okay? Ragaan-Man!
Chapter 302: More Interest Than Expected
Chapter 302 ¨C More Interest Than Expected
¡ºThe F¨±rinkazan fighting style¡ at first nce, it appears to be well-bnced in terms of speed, power, technique, and defense, but tis not so. It has its weaknesses.¡»
Even though I am currently fighting against one of the Six Supremacy, who have left their name in history, my master was as reliable as ever.
¡ºFirst of all, the wind technique that she often uses in her attacks is not very useful when there are many allies around, and even more so, she must maintain a certain amount of distance from the enemy in order to utilize it. If the enemy is too close, she may also take damage.¡»
¡¸Heh¡¡¹
¡ºIn other words, she is vulnerable to super-close quarterbat.¡»
True to his word, I moved around at Norja¡¯s feet without stopping, and on top of that, I tried not to ever move more than a certain distance away from her.
As a result, Norja couldn¡¯t attack me with her tail, only with simple w and stomp attacks.
Those attacks were big swings, with no particr feint or jab-like technique, just swinging around with force.
¡°Heeeeeeeeeeree!¡±
¡°Right here! ¡¾Ragaan Sonic Smash¡¿!¡±
¡°Nuoh.¡±
As I am now, I can easily dodge, and on top of that, I can shrewdly hit counters.
Because she¡¯s a big target, I can throw my fist as much as I want.
But¡
¡ºNevertheless, you will need a decisive blow. The defense of her Kaand Zan are designed to deal with attacks that emphasize destructive power, such as great magic and Hiro¡¯s magic sword¡ her raw endurance cannot be ovee by half-baked attacks.¡»
Right. I¡¯ve been hitting her with a lot of force in my fist, but it doesn¡¯t seem to be having that much of an effect on Norja.
It¡¯s blocked by her fur and simple beast muscles, so it doesn¡¯t resonate to her core.
And Norja knows that too.
¡°Nihahahahahaha, you¡¯re, like, giving me a good spanking~!¡±
Her eyes were serious even though she wasughing.
It¡¯s as if she was trying to observe everything about me while daring to take my attacks.
¡ºTis so. I suppose she has be interested in your breakthroughs, simple movements and techniques¡ she is slowly pushing you into a corner, trying to draw out all sorts of things.¡»
Norja wasn¡¯t letting her guard down, but she doesn¡¯t think she¡¯ll lose to me.
It¡¯s as if she¡¯s just trying to get to know me.
As proof of that, when I aim at her eyes or such vital points, she¡¯ll avoid it.
When this happens¡
¡ºWhen this happens, what matters is when and where¡ it will depend on whether you hit the Great Magic Spiral.¡»
Yes. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
¡°So in so in ssoooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!
Even if I keep her from activating the F¨±rinkazan, it¡¯s meaningless if my attack doesn¡¯t work.
If that¡¯s the case, I have no choice but to hit the biggest and strongest of my attacks¡ the Great Magic Spiral.
But, it takes a little time to activate, and above all, it¡¯s a big swing, so even if Iunch it head-on normally, Norja will evade it.
So, how do you hit it?
¡ºTis decided then. Driving in at an opening from her blind spot is your only option.¡»
But since I can¡¯t do that¡
¡ºIn order to do that, you have to make her create an opening.¡»
¡¸So, that¡¯s¡ª¡ª¡¹
¡ºTo that end¡ dare to let her use the F¨±rinkazan.¡»
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Hmm? I couldn¡¯t help but say it out loud, could I?
What is Tre¡¯ainar saying when I¡¯m nervous about things like dust storms and ws that can gouge the ground out?
¡¸Hey, what do you mean!? I¡¯m fighting in close quarters like this so that Norja won¡¯t be able to use the F¨±rinkazan, but you want me to let her use it? What do you mean?¡¹
¡ºYes, while trying to keep the F¨±rinkazan at bay¡ you will intentionally show an opening, and when Norja sees an opportunity and uses the F¨±rinkazan¡ that is when the biggest opening arises.¡»
¡¸¡¡? ¡¡ Huh?¡¹
¡ºIn any case, keep dodging for now and get ustomed to her attacks and movements. Now that you can use radar, you can dodge them well enough. And then, gradually calm your mind and listen to what I have to say.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said something that contradicted the advice he had given before the fight with Norja.
No good. I don¡¯t really understand what he¡¯s saying.
¡¸I mean¡ even her current attacks could kill me if theynd, yet you want to deliberately let her perform a special move called the F¨±rinkazan, which is even more powerful than this¡? That¡¯s¡ pretty dangerous, isn¡¯t it¡ well, even if I can avoid it, it¡¯s still pretty dangerous!¡¹
Anyway, considering that even one shot of Norja¡¯s attack could end me, I have to keep dodging while improving my concentration for now.
¡°¡¾Ragaan Crossover Step¡¿!¡±
There¡¯s no time to hesitate. Just move around.
Use foresight and predict Norja¡¯s attacks one, two, three moves ahead.
Make full use of the radar and sharpen all your nerves.
¡°¡¡ Nuh¡ Nuh¡¡±
Then, as the sound of a violent impact echoed, Norja¡¯s cheerfulughter gradually subsided.
What? Suddenly, even in a bad mood¡
¡°¡¡ I really can¡¯t hit you¡ well done.¡±
No. Was that a normalpliment?
¡ºFuh, the opponent is a Six Supremacy. Despite a difference in race, if the adversary is worthy, the evaluation will be fair.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar said that, and now that you mentioned it, both Jamdi¡¯el and Paripi somehow acknowledged me while we were fighting, for what it¡¯s worth.
Leaving out things like me being the son of the Hero, Hiro, or anything like that.
And it¡¯s not just the Six Supremacy of this era¡
¡°Hey, who the heck is that man! Oh, he¡¯s not getting hit, he¡¯s evading!¡±
¡°He¡¯s not running away¡¡ he¡¯s dodging the boss¡¯s typhoon-like attacks!¡±
¡°That powerful and matchless attack of the Great General¡ that masked man¡ can do that!¡±
The Amazonesses, who were watching this situation from a distance, were also changing the way they looked at me, even though at first they were wildly screaming like, ¡°Do it!¡±.
They¡¯re evaluating¡ huh?
Whoa, what is this¡ why are only those involved with the Demon King Army acknowledging me properly¡
¡º¨D¨D¨DPerhaps¡ not just limited to that? In this era¡¡»
¡°¡¡ Oh¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar pointed, and I noticed that kid with a pouty expression, but a twinkle in his eye, in a different ce from the Amazonesses.
That pouty, sulky, slightly annoying kid was looking at me with a twinkle in his eye.
Even to him, I was¡
¡ºAlso¡ there is a certain youngdy who would be angry were she to be neglected, is there not?¡»
¡¸That¡¯s right!¡¹
Yes, and now I have Espie.
I got it¡¡ that¡¯s why¡¡
¡¸If that¡¯s how it¡¯s going to be, then¡ I¡¯ll surprise them more anyway.¡¹
¡ºHmm, tis fine.¡»
My heart was a little scared, but now I want to astonish them even more.
But on the other hand¡
¡°Well done¡ but¡¡ I see.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
In the midst of the battle, Norja smiled again.
¡°You¡¯re sharp, and above all, abundant feints, agile footwork¡ the insight to read all of my movements¡ they¡¯re stunning. But¡¡ that alone is not enough to beat me. Not with the power of the attacks you¡¯re relentlessly hitting into the openings you¡¯re exploiting. And being as good as you are, you should have already realized that. And yet, I smell a purpose, a target, in your fight.¡±
¡°¡¡ Nuh¡¡±
¡°So there is something, isn¡¯t there? A killer move that could do some real damage to me. But, it probably needs to be wound up, or it¡¯s a big swing, so it¡¯s tough to hit me with it head-on. So, to hit it, you must be trying to exploit an opening somewhere, right?¡±
Once she stopped his limbs, Norja started talking fluently with some pride, but¡ it got found out¡ my aim¡
¡ºFu, as expected of Norja¡ her wild instincts, her wealth of experience¡¡ she will not get caught in a scheme so easily¡ however, to speak of it so fluently¡ well, it seems that this one¡¡»
Apparently, it¡¯s not going to be that easy. Tre¡¯ainar was also smiling wryly.
What¡¯s going on? Is that bad?
¡ºIt matters not. Child, do not falter.¡»
¡¸Oh, oh?¡¹
¡ºIn this way, by deliberately talking about the opponent¡¯s intentions and inciting them, she is merely observing how you move from there, how you react, whether you react in a way that would be undesirable and so on.¡»
Just observing?
What¡¯s the point of that¡
¡ºIt seems that Norja has taken more interest in you than I expected.¡»
¡°?¡±
¡ºBut what concerns me is rather ¡ in this period¡ Norja¡¯s obsession at that time was certainly with Hiro¡ but to be so interested in Ragaan-Man¡ is this really based on historical facts? Tis useless to think about it, but¡ Hmm¡¡ well, tis fine! Move, child!¡»
Chapter 303: Pretending to Be Caught in The Palm of Their Hand
Chapter 303 ¨C Pretending to Be Caught in The Palm of Their Hand
Even though I¡¯m putting enough power into my fist to send it flying far away, it just doesn¡¯t seem to be working.
And not even a counter.
¡°Nihahahaha, still poking and prodding at me, howme!¡±
¡°Tch, it¡¯s not working at all¡¡±
I counter with shockwaves while dodging the ws of both limbs swung by the rampaging Norja.
But really, it¡¯s having no effect.
¡ºTis only natural.¡»
But Tre¡¯ainar doesn¡¯t seem to find it particrly strange.
¡ºThe counter must take advantage of the opponent¡¯s power. Concurrently, tis unexpected to the opponent as they focus on offense¡ by shooting from beyond the opponent¡¯s expectation, their awareness, it cuts off said opponent¡¯s consciousness¡ that creates a more effective counter. As it is now, Norja anticipates counterpunches from the start, and yet she herself throws shallow strikes without stepping in. Thus kept from unleashing her full might.¡»
Yes, while Norja herself wasughing and making it look like she was going wild with all her strength, she was actually quite wary of me.
It¡¯s hard to do her in.
¡ºRoughly, Norja¡¯s strategy simply involves being wary of counterattacks, and merely swinging her limbs around, aiming tond even a single hit on you.¡»
I kept dodging to not be hit by that single shot, and at some point, use the Great Demon Spiral ¡ but¡
¡°Fufu~n, now~ I~ get it ?¡±
¡°¡¡ Oh?¡±
¡°Even with my super-honed senses, I can¡¯t read the next move with your brilliant footwork technique¡ is what I thought, but¡ bit by bit, depending on the situation, I could see the bias in your footwork, you know ?.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Bias? In my steps?
¡°Now I can sorta see how you¡¯re going to move next¡ it may only be a matter of time before I catch you~¡±
¡°What¡ was that?¡±
¡°Once I get you, be prepared. First, how long will you put it in your mouth and lick it? After that, strip you naked and pluck out each and every single one¡ nihahahahaha ?¡±
¡°ugh, this perverted fox!¡±
I didn¡¯t expect that, and for a moment, my body was shaken.
¡ºQuite the tease, that Norja, but¡ tis still fine for now, child.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºIn times of crisis, one tends to rely on what one does best¡ like the steps and forms thate naturally in the spur of the moment. Your opponent is a Six Supremacy. Tis inevitable that they will see through it. With that in mind, I tell you, tis still fine!¡»
But if I show even a hint of hesitation, my master, who follows up on me right away, is truly something else.
¡°Uh? Hmm~¡¡ just when I thought you tensed up for a moment, you quickly shifted your focus and regainedposure¡ your mental strength is amazing¡ But¡ª¡ª¡±
On the other hand, Norja was also watching my reaction to every move, so she sees through a lot of things, and it makes me feel that she¡¯s a Six Supremacy.
But if things stay like this, eventually¡
¡ºTis fine as it is, child. This is the setup. Norja will gradually be ustomed to your steps and movements¡that is the aim.¡»
¡°Eh¡?¡±
¡ºShe will read your next move somewhat¡ in other words, you may also ¡®know how she reads you¡¯!¡»
When I thought so, advanced maneuvers and strategies that I could not havee up with on my own were already in progress in Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s mind.
¡°Haha, now that I¡¯ve figured it out¡ it¡¯s almost time to end this game of tag!!¡±
¡ºHere, child! Diagonal right w swung down, dodge it with a backstep, and Norja will immediately swing her left w in a cleaving motion! Based on the steps so far, she will expect you to continue with a backstep-stop, then dash forward again¡ªuse your radar!¡»
¡°Heeeeere!¡±
It¡¯s here! As Tre¡¯ainar said, a downward swing came diagonally from the right¡
¡°You won¡¯t get away!¡±
The moment I backstepped to avoid it, she cleaved at me. Then I dashed forward again¡ from then on, it was almost on reflex.
Tre¡¯ainar instructions and radar sensing.
I felt as if our senses were in perfect sync, and I kept dodging without stopping.
It was only a few dozen seconds.
From my point of view, it was a breathtaking exchange.
In the first ce, if I get hit even once, I¡¯ll take a lot of damage, so it¡¯s only natural.
In such a tense atmosphere, I dodged dozens of Norja¡¯s blows with several steps at short intervals¡
¡°Nihi ?¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Ah, if it continues like this, I¡¯ll reach my limit¡ that¡¯s when she also sensed it in my anticipation¡
¡ºThere! Create some distance!¡»
¡°Eh!?¡±
So far, I¡¯ve been wobbling around Norja¡¯s feet just to keep her from using Norja¡¯s tail to activate the F¨±rinkazan.
The inside of the gap was the lifeline.
But, when I came here, with nowhere to run, I dared to flee at thest minute.
By doing that, Norja¡¯s F¨±rinkazan will be activated.
¡ºYes, activate it! With nowhere to run to, you had no choice but to flee from the distance you had maintained so far¡ Yes, Norja should think so!¡»
¡°¡¡ Whoa!¡±
This is no time for hesitation. I move away from Norja¡¯s feet, as if to distance myself from her.
At that moment, Norja¡¯s eyes sparkled.
¡°I got some roooooooom!!!¡±
As long as she was a certain distance away, Norja could freely swing a powerful whip-like tail attack without self-destructing.
As if she had been waiting for it, Norja brought her nine tails together¡
¡°Aggressive¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±
¡ºThere, child! That is the spot for the Great Magic Spiral! Not that ¡®over there¡¯ technique you used on Vasr?¡»
¡°Nihahahaha, now, show me! This is what you wanted, right? What are you going to show me? What¡ª¡ª¡±
It¡¯s also read by Norja! Are you okay with that? No, but¡¡ I have to do it!
¡°¡¾Grea¡ ¡¾Ragaan Giga Spiral¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡ºThe tails have risen! And stiffened! Now!¡»
At that moment, Norja¡¯s face, which had been smiling broadly, went rigid.
¡ºManipting at will, as nned, cornering, cornering, and cornering until the expected climax. Even you, who were prepared for what might be revealed at the end of this relentless pursuit, surely could not have predicted this¡ it was beyond your awareness, was it not? Norja¡¡ following the breakthrough, to have this technique as well¡¡»
Rather than being surprised, it was as if she doubted her eyes, ¡°how can that be¡¡±
¡ºBe that as it may, even if you activate this technique and attack with nothing else, she would be able to evade it on the spur of the moment while still being surprised¡ however¡¡ after pursuing her prey the way she wanted, tis important to stay calm until the very end, she was unable to suppress her excitement to see what the child would reveal after being cornered¡ I suppose she was expecting something unexpected, but¡ this technique waspletely beyond her awareness, was it not? And she remains unaware¡ of the F¨±rinkazan¡¯s weakness¡¡»
Chapter 304: Apology
Chapter 304 ¨C Apology
¡ºThe weakness of the F¨±rinkazan¡ is that it cannot perform multiple techniques simultaneously. She cannot defend with Ka or Zan while at the same time swinging her tails for Fuu and Rin techniques¡ in other words, Norja¡¯s F¨±rinkazan cannot attack and defend at the same time. Offense and defense must be switched with precision¡ hence why her Fuu and Rin attacks ¡¡ especially her one-hit kill Rin technique, should you manage to slip through them¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
I could understand what Tre¡¯ainar was saying with a chuckle.
She brought all her tails together above her head to swing them down like a giant hammer.
But thanks to that, Norja now didn¡¯t have a single tail to protect herself with.
¡°That¡¯s ridiculous ¡¡ impossible¡ that move¡ that power!? You, w, wh, what the hell!?¡±
Furthermore, the activation of the Great Magic Spiral caused Norja herself to be shocked and stiffened.
A perfect setup!
¡ºAnd now that she has all of her tails raised above her head, the part that has never received a single attack, as is it usually covered by her tails, is defenseless! Even giant beasts, monsters, or dragons, will not be spared from damage!¡»
Norja was a battle-hardened warrior.
No matter how much she uses her tails, she does not alwayse out unscathed when she meets someone strong in battle.
But, even for Norja, there was a part that was rarely ever attacked.
That¡¯s something Norja isn¡¯t used to, so to speak, Norja¡¯s weakness.
¡°Here we gooooooo!! I¡¯ll pierce through you and show you just who I aaaaaaaaaaaam!!¡±
I¡¯m going to take these few seconds that Norja spends stunned!
And Tre¡¯ainar. Where the hell should I m this into Norja?
Eyes? Mouth? Or is it the belly? The opponent is a legendary Six Supremacy. No mercy.
No matter what the oue¡ no matter what happens to history¡ right now, I¡¯m giving it my all.
¡ºThere! Get behind Norja with the Goosestep!¡»
¡°Oh!¡±
I dashed between Norja¡¯s stiffened legs and got behind her.
When I looked up, all nine tails were raised above her head, leaving herpletely defenseless.
¡ºThe kill ¡ h, hit it at that one point!!¡»
¡°Ooooooohh!!¡±
Norja was vulnerable. Also, I took her back. There were no defenses. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I wasn¡¯t thinking about it anymore.
But, following Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s instructions, I moved without thinking.
I flew while holding up the Great Magic Spiral.
¡°Huh!? Hohe? Wait, y, you!? Wha, y, you wouldn¡¯t!?¡±
I heard Norja¡¯s horrified voice.
Apparently, Tre¡¯ainar was right, that¡¯s a huge weakness.
If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll show you no mercy.
I do exactly what Tre¡¯ainar told me to do and aim at the one unprotected spot and hit the Great Magic Spiral¡
¡°Uoooohhh, pierce throoooooogh! Uoooooo¡ oo¡ ooeh? Huh?¡±
¡¡ eh?
¡ºD, do not stop, child! Think of nothing, notice nothing, just go through it!¡»
¡°N, now¡ wha¡¡±
Huh? Where am I about to fly ¡¡ and hit this Great Magic Spiral?
In front of me¡ Hmm? Usually, it¡¯s hidden by the tail ¡ huh? Oh, huh? What?
¡ºChild! That part of the body which is usually covered with a bushy tail is the one that is most sensitive to any living creature¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
No, uh, yes. I, I know that?
That¡¯s~ already, even when I was a little naughty kid, I used to perform a move called the Thousand-Year Death with just a bunch of other naughty brats, right?
Yes, that¡¯s why, it hurts, doesn¡¯t it? It¡¯s going to be painful.
But, you want me to throw the Great Magic Spiral there?
Just thinking about it made me squeeze my butt as hard as I could.
Huh? I mean, the opponent is a Six Supremacy, right? Is that okay? Huh? Is it even eptable?
I mean, before that, Norja is female ¡ or rather, a woman, right?
That¡¯s right! In the first ce, Norja¡¯s human form definitely looks like that scandalous little girl, right?
Meaning, I¡¯m about to do that to a little girl¡¯s ass¡
¡°Guh¡ n, not good¡¡±
¡ºC, child!¡»
At that moment, my disgust outweighed my desire to win.
Reflexively, I stopped the Great Magic Spiral just short of the point I was aiming at.
¡°BIIIIIIIIG BROOOOOOOOTHEEEEEEEEERRR!!!
¡°Huh?¡±
At that moment, a flying ship appeared out of the distance¡
¡°Huh?¡±
The ship violently collided with my materialized Great Magic Spiral from behind.
As a result, regardless of my intentions, the power of the Great Magic Spiral was boosted many times more than usual by being pushed.
And like hitting a nail with a hammer¡
¨D¨D¨D¨DZboryunnuuuuuuu
That power certainly pierced Norja, who waspletely defenseless¡from behind¡with great force.
¡°Ngooooo, ho¡.. n, nhooooooaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!????¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±GREAT GENERAAAAAAAAL!!!????¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
At the spot where I hesitated and couldn¡¯t hit, the Great Magic Spiral was thrust with great force, and pinpoint uracy, without even the slightest deviation¡ and it was spinning!
¡°NHOOOOOOOOOOHH, NHOOOOOOOOOHH, NHAAAAAAAAAAH!!?? HNKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!???¡±
At that shocking moment, the Amazonesses who were watching from a distance also shrieked.
And I almost screamed myself.
It was too harsh¡
¡°Ha, kahe, ah, ahi, ngo oh, ooh, ah, ah, ahi¡¡?¡±
In the next moment, Norja¡¯s whole body stretched out.
But soon, she could neither take a passive stance nor support her body with her limbs, and she fell to the ground with a huge thud while convulsing.
¡°Oh, uh, um¡ sorry¡ no, I-I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡¡±
¡ºPay it no mind¡ she will not perish¡ the opponent is a Six Supremacy¡ had you not have done this, you would have been killed.¡»
My hands trembled as I sat on the ground behind the prostrate Norja.
The opponent was one of the legendary Six Supremacy.
An opponent who doesn¡¯t need a shred of mercy.
But¡¡ this is¡¡ I apologized unintentionally¡
¡°Big Brother!!¡±
And at the same time, a girl flew straight over to me from the ship with tears in her eyes as she fell beside me.
Even though I was wearing a mask, she seemed to know who I was.
¡°O, oh¡ E, Espie.¡±
¡°Uwaaaaaaahh, dummyyyyyyyyyy!!¡±
¡°Oh, whoa¡¡±
Espie jumped vigorously into my chest.
And just burst into tears.
¡°Dummy dummy dummy dummy!¡±
¡°Oh, it hurts, I said it hurts, stop already.¡±
¡°Why did you leave me there!¡±
While clinging to my body with both legs, she repeatedly hit my chest with both hands.
Apparently, she¡¯s quite angry.
¡°Um, Espie, it wasn¡¯t my fault, it¡¯s the enemy¡¯s magic¡¡±
¡°Big brother, you¡¯re strong, so don¡¯t get caught like that! Why are you getting caught? Dummy!¡±
¡°Ha, haha¡ geez¡ Oh, what about the people?¡±
¡°I let them go to a safe ce right away! I wanted toe flying quickly, but I had to¡ Uuuuuu, you dummy! Why are you fighting with that fox? If I was a littlete, Big brother would have¡ Uuuugh¡ uwaaaaahh!¡±
She made sure all those we saved were somewhere safe¡ she showed some consideration as a hero right there, but I disappeared and ended up fighting against a Six Supremacy, that would have made her panic.
If I had been killed¡
¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry for worrying you.¡±
¡°Uh¡ Gushun¡¡ Hig, ugh¡¡±
¡°But¡ you did a good job of getting everyone out of there¡ and you came to my rescue. Thank you, Espie.¡±
¡°¡¡ Un¡¡ Guss¡ Ugh¡¡±
I gave my apology, with a feeling of ¡°well done¡±, and a dose of ¡°good girl¡±.
And then¡¡
¡°Not anymore¡ I can¡¯t be a beautiful bride anymore¡ used goods¡¡ amon bitch¡ that¡¯s all I am¡¡±
What should I do¡. about this¡
TL Notes
ERM¡ I might have ended up on a list now! If you suddenly don¡¯t hear from me, this is probably why¡.
Chapter 305: The Consistency of History
Chapter 305 ¨C The Consistency of History
¡°Ah, ah, u, o, obu, oh, ooooh.¡±
A legend that even appears in textbooks. So strong that you¡¯ll be killed the moment you show any mercy.
But, I never thought I would feel sorry for someone like that.
¡°Gyu~~~~¡±
¡°Oh~, Espie. Let¡¯s leave for now.¡±
¡°Yes let¡¯s!¡±
¡°Then again, look, your rival Six Supremacy is right in front of you¡¡±
¡°¡¡ a lot ¡®came out¡¯ ¡ it¡¯s gross.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say it, Espie!¡±
A huge beast that was now lying in front of us. Other than that, I¡¯m too sorry to exin more.
My attack with the Great Magic Spiral and Espie¡¯s charge, and¡ well¡¡ a lot of stuff¡
¡°Great General!¡±
¡°D, darn, humans!¡±
¡°How dare you, to the General¡¡±
¡°The hated Seven Heroes¡ Espie¡¡ and you, Ragaan-Man, don¡¯t think you can leave here alive!¡±
At that moment, the Amazonesses raised their voices in unison from a distance.
Far from losing their will to fight after Norja, their General, had fallen, they became even more motivated¡
¡°They¡¯re so noisy¡¡±
Then, in my arms, Espie, who was in pampered mode, suddenly had an unpleasant look.
Espie was about to turn her palm towards the Amazonesses who were heading here to avenge their General¡ it was at that moment.
¡°Ahh Huh!? Oh¡ s, stay baaaaaaaack!!
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeeh!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Norja, who was still fallen, cried out desperately, even though she was in an unspeakable state.
¡°D, don¡¯t, nho, s, stay away, from heeeere! Ab, ngh, absolutely, guhin, nh, must not,e heeeeere!¡±
A desperate cry, even though she was out of breath.
Well, I guess that¡¯s how it is.
Understandable, with her current incontinence, and moreover¡ well, I get why she wouldn¡¯t want her subordinates who are far away toe closer, given the dire situation of thend, it¡¯s be quite a mess.
¡°Please, General, but! We still can¡¯t fight¡ª¡ª¡±
¡°No, just, unh,¡¡ hey, wait¡ su~ha~su~ha~¡ daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!¡±
¡°Great General?¡±
¡°Stay baaaaack!!
Yes¡¡ I get it¡¡ if she rxes even a little, she¡¯ll be in more trouble¡ n, no good, she¡¯s too pitiful.
¡°Hey, Norja! Release the captured men and retreat!¡±
¡°Nn, nn, nnah?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s just end it here, okay?¡±
¡°S, sto¡ stop screwing around¡ who do you think I am¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
Although she was crawling with her head down and enduring various things, Norja red sharply at me.
¡ºNow, what will happen ¡ or rather, child. Your usual tone has returned, has it not?¡»
Is it useless after all? Before I knew it, my tone had changed¡ well, enough is enough.
And then¡¡
¡°Big brother, I¡¯m going to punish this guy some more! With my Fluffy Panic¡ª¡°
¡°Gyowaaah, d, don¡¯t do it! I¡¯m begging you, stop! M, more, will c,e out! I¡¯m going to have a big eruption!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care!¡±
¡°This braaaat, you have nopassion as a warrior¡ hou, whoa, if I yell again, m ¡ my sphincter¡ fugo¡°
That¡¯s probably true. If we do anything more, Norja might suffer a shame worse than death.
Norja, who would definitely want to avoid that, had tears in her eyes with a look of anguish¡
¡°B, but there is¡a, a condition¡ ¡°
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Today¡¯s, f, fight¡ if a new powerhouse appears¡ I¡¯ll have to ¡¡ report details of battle¡ higi¡ j, just that¡ ngo¡ that, why¡ this fight¡ prisoners¡¡ Espie¡¯s rescue¡¡ your final blow at least¡ ngu¡ as for you¡ gag order to my subordinates¡ or else, magical memory¡ fugii, I can¡¯t think straight right now! Anyway¡¡ At least in the seeea! Let me in the seeeeeeaaa!¡±
Hmm? What? What are you trying to say? I can¡¯t understand it because it¡¯s broken up.
¡ºI see¡ now I understand¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
Then, unlike me, who couldn¡¯t quite understand, Tre¡¯ainar seemed to understand everything and nodded in agreement.
¡ºNorja¡¯s request. I was never informed of the full details of this battle. Only that Norja and her people raided the human town and took the men prisoner, but they encountered Espie and let their captives escape. The individual known as Ragaan-Man was concealed.¡»
¡¸Huh? Why?¡¹
¡ºThe unknown powerhouse, Ragaan-Man, who even the Demon King Army was unaware of¡ when ites to those with the strength to oppose the Six Supremacy, they must be reported in detail, including their fighting style and battle situation¡ it is conceivable that Norja¡¯s memories would be read by magic and shared among the executives. If you do that, the Great Magic Spiral mmed into her rear as well as various other things¡ well¡¡ I suppose she would prefer that such matters nevere to light.¡»
Ah, I see¡
¡ºIn fact, I never received a detailed report of the battle at that time, merely the fact that Espie and Norja had a skirmish, and that captured prisoners and yer had fled¡ besides, even though it was a skirmish, the scene was disrupted by Espie¡¯s abilities during the mass transfer of prisoners¡ I see¡¡ so that is what happened¡¡»
In other words, history hasn¡¯t changed, and this was the truth of history that Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t know about.
One of the Six Supremacy suffered the thousand-year death and stuff leaked¡ events that you would never want people to know had alle together¡
¡°In other words, you won¡¯t tell anyone about me. You¡¯ll keep the details of this battle secret. You¡¯ll keep your people quiet, the prisoners are unconscious, so we can leave out the details and just say that Espie rescued prisoners.¡±
¡°Kokukokukokukoku¡±
In response to my confirmation question, Norja nodded with a very devilish expression.
Well, that¡¯s what I was hoping for.
¡°Well, it¡¯s okay, but¡ when you first appeared, you said something about peeing in the sea ¨C¡°
¡°Stuff apart from peeing is no go, ho, howaaaaa!! I, I¡¯m not, into that kind of kink yet¡ ho, ho, howaaaaa¡ uuugh, you¡¯re such a bully¡ don¡¯t look at me like that¡ ?¡±
Anyway, if it makes sense historically, I have no reason to refuse.
Looking at the back of the Six Supremacy, who was crawling towards the sea, I felt like being merciful.
¡°Espie, please bear with me.¡±
¡°Un? I don¡¯t really understand, but if Big brother says I should, then I will.¡±
¡°Yes, good girl.¡±
¡°Ah¡ Mufu~?¡±
Espie didn¡¯t think too much about it, and even though a Six Supremacy was in a bad state in front of her, she didn¡¯t give chase, but he was satisfied with the situation and cuddled with me.
¡°Haa, ha, ngu¡ ji, ji¡ all troops retreat, now go far away from this ce, leaving the prisoners behiiiiiind!¡±
¡°G, General!?¡±
¡°That¡¯s an ordeaaaah, I, I will swim to the sea, d, don¡¯t follow, definitely don¡¯te this way when you leaveaaaaah¡ Howaaaaaaaa!!!
Norja then ordered her subordinates to withdraw and jumped straight into the sea.
¡°Fuguuu, you¡ but that Espie was so clingy with him¡ so strong¡ Ragaan-Man¡ Ragaan¡ Lagann? I-I see¡ him¡ that¡¯s how it is¡ that¡¯s iiaaaah¡ ¡o, ooh¡ I, I will sooo not forget this grudge¡ just wait¡ I, I¡¯ll make him take responsibilityyyyyy!!¡±
At that moment, Norja, who swam away into the distance, was muttering something ¡
¡ºHah~¡¡ indeed¡¡ I see now¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar let out a deep sigh as if he understood everything, and I understood a lot of things too.
I see¡¡ and that¡¯s why my father¡ ah~, I see¡
¡°Sh, she left¡¡±
¡°Y, yes, the General¡¯s order is to retreat!¡±
¡°All forces retreat! Leave the prisoners and retreat now!¡±
Seeing this, the remaining Amazonesses, not knowing what was going on, retreated from the area in a cloud of smoke, partly because Norja had ordered them to do so.
What was left behind were unconscious naked men¡ anyway¡¡
¡°Now, Espie.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Do you think these guys will be okay?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll have to worry.¡±
For the time being, the enemy was gone, so there was no more danger.
Then¡¡
¡°Then let¡¯s just run away!¡±
¡°Un!¡±
Since we¡¯ve made it this far, that¡¯s enough.
All that¡¯s left now was for these guys to wake up, return to the town, meet up with the residents, and take care of the rest themselves.
I ran with Espie in my arms, trying not to get too deep into the situation.
¡°yer, are you alright?¡±
¡°Oh, what? Uh¡¡±
¡°Look, you should run away too!¡±
¡°Huh¡ What? Well¡ Wait¡¡¡¡¡¡ Wait!¡±
And then yer followed us.
Chapter 306: Granting Their Wish
Chapter 306 ¨C Granting Their Wish
We were quite far from the ins, and there was no sign of the Demon King Army chasing after us nearby.
After confirming this, I slowed down and took a breather.
¡°Hah~¡¡ I¡¯m d things worked out somehow.¡±
Without any major impact on history, we managed to survive against the legendary Six Supremacy and their army, while still managing to deceive them.
I¡¯m sorry about all the things I did to Norja though.
¡°Not good!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Not good at all!¡±
Then, while I was relieved in many ways, Espie was pouting as she remained stubbornly attached to me, clinging tightly in my arms, not making any effort to run or fly on her own, though she floated her luggage close by.
¡°Big brother left me.¡±
¡°L, like I said, that¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll never forgive you. I won¡¯t forgive you if you leave me again. Do you understand?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
If I were from this time period, I would have hugged her and promised never to leave her again.
But I couldn¡¯t do that, all I could do was smile bitterly.
¡°Oh~, was it okay not to say hello to any of them? It seems that there were some Allied soldiers among those prisoners, and maybe you knew each other¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m not with the Allied Forces anymore.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
She doesn¡¯t care.
In fact, Espie seemed to have fought Tre¡¯ainar in the final battle.
So, she doesn¡¯t leave the Allied Forces.
When I think about that, my heart aches for Espie, who was so attached to me.
How am I supposed to leave Espie ¡ alone¡?
¡°Is it okay that we ran away this far for now?¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
As I looked behind me, relieved that everything was going to be okay, I noticed that yer, who was standing next to me, was staring at me intently.
¡°Are you okay with your injuries?¡±
¡°Huh? Oh yes¡¡ no¡.. hmm¡¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, that was a disaster for you too.¡±
It was a bad educational experience for the kid, or rather, it was likely traumatic.
What I¡¯m worried about was not the injury, but the mental aspect.
¡°Um¡ Ragaan-Man¡¡¡±
¡°No, no more Ragaan-Man.¡±
¡°Ah¡¡±
Come to think of it, I left the mask on.
I took off the mask I was wearing.
¡°Oh¡ just as I thought¡¡±
yer was a little surprised, but he immediately nodded in agreement.
¡°Somehow, with the way Espie behaved and that footwork ¡ I had a feeling¡ but it really was you¡¡±
¡°Hehe, yeah well.¡±
Come to think of it, Espie noticed me right away even with the mask, but yer didn¡¯t.
¡°Ragaan-Man¡ that¡¯s your name¡¡±
¡°No, no, Ragaan-Man is not my real name¡ just, I had to hide my name and face due to various circumstances.¡±
¡°Not your real name? Circumstances?¡±
¡°Well, don¡¯t get hung up on the details. More than that, you see. There are all kinds of people in this world, but not all women are like that¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°E, erm!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
I was about to offer some emotional support, but suddenly yer¡¯s voice was loud and his expression serious, so I wondered what was going on¡
¡°Why¡ did you help me?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°What are you trying to do by helping me? What are you trying to use me for?¡±
What was this guy talking about? On the other hand, I had a simr exchange just recently.
¡°Big brother, what is this kid talking about?¡±
No, you said the same thing he said a while ago!?
¡°It¡¯s nothing special, there was a kid in trouble right in front of me¡ if he was within my reach, I couldn¡¯t just leave him there.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not a kid! I¡ I¡ I¡¯m a Hunter¡ and it¡¯s all my own fault¡¡±
He looks like he¡¯s about to vomit blood in frustration.
Apparently, unlike me, who grew up without inconvenience, I imagine that he must have lived a very difficult life.
But still¡
¡°Listen, yer. Just remember this.¡±
I didn¡¯t mean to preach, but I wanted to say something in my own way.
¡°You¡¯re good. A genius. There¡¯s no doubt about that. But there are people out there who are even better than you, with more experience and more talent. I meet guys all the time who are stronger than me, you know?¡±
¡°Eh¡ stronger than you¡?¡±
¡°Yeah. Actually, I didn¡¯t defeat Norja by myself this time either, and if Norja had seriously intended to kill me from the beginning, it wouldn¡¯t have ended the same way.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why, you always have to be aware of your current strength and situation. How strong am I now? What can I do? What can¡¯t I do? And then, do I fight? Do I run away? Is it a ce where I should focus on how to win? Is it a situation where I should put my life on the line? I know you¡¯re strong and talented, but you still can¡¯t judge how strong you are against your opponent¡¯s power, or can you make decisions based on the situation, right?¡±
I feel like everything I sayes back to me like a boomerang.
Tre¡¯ainar was grinning beside me.
¡°Wh, what¡ being so snobbish¡¡±
¡°Kuhaha, you¡¯re right. That¡¯s why I¡¯m still training. I¡¯m still immature¡ so I need to be stronger.¡±
Hearing my words, yer flinched, clenching his fists and trembling.
¡°Big brother is already strong enough~¡±
¡°My strength still has a long way to go!¡±
¡°Then¡I¡¯m going to get stronger, too!¡±
¡°Oh¡ Espie is strong enough already¡¡±
Anger? Chagrin?
¡°H¡ hmph¡¡ for someone so flirty clingy and thoughtlessly giggly¡ what are you saying¡ what¡¡ after all¡¡ who do you think I am? And yet¡ I can¡¯t talk back¡¡±
¡°Well, if you¡¯re frustrated, about yesterday¡¯s game of tag and what happened today¡ then you should get stronger.¡±
¡°Strong¡ ku¡¡±
But I felt that he wasn¡¯t just frustrated, something from my words got to him
Then yer, who had been looking downcast, had a somewhat tearful expression on his face, as if wanting some constion¡
¡°Th, then¡ you make me stronger!¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°M¡ make me¡ your disciple¡ and make me stronger!¡±
¡¡ Eh?
I didn¡¯t see this requesting. This is unexpected.
¡ºPuk, kukukuku¡¡»
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar, what are youughing about?¡¹
¡ºNo, no, tis nothing¡ still¡¡ well, tis fine as well, is it not?¡»
¡¸Hey, is this like when I trained Mortriage¡¯s crew in Cacretale¡ about learning by bing a teacher?¡¹
¡ºTis so, but¡ well¡¡ either way, he will be with us on the journey from here on out.¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
Traveling together? What do you mean? I mean, sure, I saved yer, but¡
¡ºOi, have you forgotten? The wish these two had before you came to this age?¡»
¡¸¡¡ eh¡¡¹
For a moment I didn¡¯t know what he was talking about, but after a little thought, I quickly remembered.
That¡¯s right¡ at that time¡ well¡ that¡¯s what they meant¡
¡°Hey, what are you talking about? Big brother is mine, so he doesn¡¯t need a disciple!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmph.¡±
I can¡¯t imagine it from the two kids in front of me right now, but I was certainly asked by them.
¡°I¡¯m still in the middle of my training, I¡¯m in the process of being mentored by my Master. How can I take on a disciple?¡±
¡°But¡¡±
¡°But!¡±
¡°?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t be a Master, but¡ I can guide you¡ no¡.. I can do something for you while we are together for a while.¡±
¡°Eh!¡±
So, I decided to grant that wish.
¡°Hey, Big brother!?¡±
¡°So, will you take me as your disciple?¡±
Espie, who was strongly possessive, didn¡¯t approve, but this couldn¡¯t be helped.
¡°M, Master!¡±
¡°No, no, no, stop, don¡¯t call me master. I¡¯m still not good enough to be called that yet.¡±
¡°Well, then¡¡ Mister¡ Ragaan-Man¡¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s not my real name either¡¡±
¡°Then, what should I call you¡¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡ That¡¯s right¡¡±
Up until now, he¡¯s been an edgy and difficult kid, but yer¡¯s eyes were shining with excitement.
When I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed ¡
¡°So¡ Well, then¡ B¡.. Brother¡¡±
Oh¡ how¡ cute¡¡
¡°Hey¡ what are you saying? Big brother is my brother!¡±
¡°Brother! I will carry the luggage for you!¡±
¡°Oh, my praises are at stake! Big brother, I¡¯ll carry the luggage! It would have been more fun to make them float.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll get it!¡±
¡°Me!¡±
¡°It¡¯s me!¡±
And Espie and yer immediately start arguing in front of me.
While looking at them like that, I once again remember their wish.
¨D¨DHold on to it¡ I want you to go to Shiznautmy with ¡®me¡¯ and ¡®yer¡¯. I know it¡¯s selfish of me. But that¡¯s what we want.
¨D¨DBrother, meeting you and embarking on a journey to Shiznautmy with you¡ that¡¯s our wish. We didn¡¯t know anything¡ so please guide us.
This is what you wanted, right? Espie¡¡ yer¡¡
¡¸Good grief¡ even so, things got kind of lively¡¡¹
¡ºCertainly¡ to think this would be what happened behind the scenes unknown to history.¡»
Anyway, this was how my journey to Shiznautmy became ¡°four people¡±.
¡°Ha~ fine, you guys, for tonight¡¯s dinner¡ let¡¯s eat curry!¡±
¡°Yay! Curry? Curry? Curry~?¡±
¡°Kari? I don¡¯t really get it¡ but if Brother says so, okay?¡±
And once again I will cross this world in this era.

Chapter 307: Intermission (The Edgy Kid)
Chapter 307 ¨C Intermission (The Edgy Kid)
People are all weak and stupid.
To a genius like me, that was a normal feeling.
¨D¨DExpel yer
¨D¨DI tried to get him into a Magic School, but I realized that he had an astonishing amount of magic power. As a cadet, he is already a future candidate for the upper echelon. Even though he¡¯s the son of a concubine
¨D¨DThe child of the dead concubine¡ I took pity on him and took him in, but he¡¯s dangerous.
¨D¨DHe¡¯s the son of a concubine and will eventually try to threaten the position of the Master.
¨D¨DIndeed. I don¡¯t like the way he looks down on us with his condescending eyes.
I can remember some of my past, but I¡¯ve already cut it out of my mind.
I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with people who cling to power, status, and other things that were worthless to me¡ no, I didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with those fat pigs.
I was born alone.
But I can live alone.
That¡¯s why I am free to go anywhere.
The moment I realized that, I quickly cut off my past.
¨D¨DAre you that genius yer? What do you think? Would you be willing to lend that power to the Allied Forces?
¨D¨D Is that you, Mr. yer! How about it? Why don¡¯t you form an adventuring party with us?
¨D¨DHohoho, yer the genius. What do you say? How about I be your sponsor, and you be my personal Hunter?
¨D¨DYou¡¯re just a child, so you wouldn¡¯t understand, would you? I¡¯ll teach you how to manage money and quest tips~. So in return¡ª¡ª
But, when I tried to live freely, the pigs came swarming around me, trying to take advantage of me.
They don¡¯t even like me, but they try to win me over with their verbal nonsense.
It was so disgusting that I felt like throwing up.
They hated me because of whose child I am, and then when I became famous, they came back to me as if I was the one that turned my back on them.
It¡¯s unpleasant. Get lost. Don¡¯t hang around me. Stay out of my life.
I will live alone.
Forever and ever¡ I¡¯ve always thought that way¡ I should have¡
¡°Alright, yer. Is the rice almost done cooking?¡±
¡°Uh huh. It¡¯s cooking well, Brother. You see, I have a lot of camping experience as a Hunter.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s great. I¡¯m still not used to this, so thanks for the help.¡±
Brother treated me like a child and patted me on the head.
He genuinelypliments me and gives me a smile.
Normally, I would have been annoyed by that¡
¡°Uh¡ un.¡±
I¡¯m embarrassed¡ I feel a little happy¡ Why?
¡°Mmm~¡¡ Big brother! I¡¯ve caught a lot of fish in the river, you know?¡±
¡°Oh, Espie too, good girl.¡±
¡°¡¡ Nihera~?¡±
On the other hand, Espie ¡ I mean, I was surprised that he was the Espie of the Seven Heroes, but aside from her power, she really was a little child, and whenever Brother praised me, she gets jealous and bespetitive.
Hmm¡ it¡¯s annoying that she gets as much praise as me, even though I¡¯m better than her¡
¡°Brother, you want to have dessert, don¡¯t you? I¡¯ll go find some fruit or something.¡±
¡°Huh! Big brother, I can find it faster, so I¡¯ll go.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t get in my way, kids should wait like kids.¡±
¡°You should just wait!¡±
¡°I¡¯m more experienced, and Brother thinks I¡¯ll be more useful.¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s me! I also went camping during the war.¡±
I admit that she¡¯s strong because she¡¯s one of the Seven Heroes, but¡ I¡¯m more amazing¡ I¡¯m more useful to Brother¡ seriously, this child is so¡
¡°You guys~, be good friends~¡±
Come to think of it, I don¡¯t know what kind of rtionship Brother and Espie have with each other or how these two came to be on this journey together, but he must be having a hard time. It would be nice to have a partner like me who is mature, smart, and talented, but I can¡¯t believe that he¡¯s with such a selfish girl.
On the other hand¡
¡°Geez, then you two should go after you finish eating. Let¡¯s enjoy it freshly made now, shall we?¡±
¡°¡±Mmm¡¡±¡±
Brother treats me like a kid, just like Espie. I¡¯m a little miffed about that.
Sure, Brother is strong, seems to have a lot of experience, and is so cool.
For the first time in my life, I was shown the difference in power, and that¡¯s why I decided to be his disciple in order to grow.
¨D¨D Didn¡¯t I tell you? I just wanted to know what kind of guy you were. On top of that, it would have been nice if you could get to know me a little bit about me along the way, that¡¯s all I wanted.
When we yed tag on the ship, I felt disrespected and made fun of, which was frustrating, but now I don¡¯t me him for being a little snobbish.
But¡¡ it¡¯s kind of annoying to be treated the same as Espie¡
¡°Hey, yer, Espie, put some rice on the te.¡±
¡°Okay~! Curry~? Curry~?¡±
¡°Un. Come to think of it, Brother has been stewing it for a long time¡ eh? Do you put it on the rice? You don¡¯t drink it?¡±
¡°Kuhahaha, drink~, but you¡¯re not wrong. You can get so addicted that you gobble it all down.¡±
¡°Hmph~, but yer is a child, so I think it¡¯s too spicy for him~?¡±
¡°Hmm? I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s spicy or not, but there¡¯s no way I can¡¯t have something that Espie can handle!¡±
Meanwhile, dinner was finally ready.
¡°This is Curry. Look, it¡¯s all melty on the rice.¡±
¡°Wa, ah, oh, wow.¡±
The moment he opened the lid, I was a little concerned about the unique color of the soup-like substance that had been simmering in the pot for a long time¡¡. but even more than that, there was an appetizing aroma that stimted my nose!
I wonder what this is¡ this is my first time¡ do you eat this with rice?
¡°Here, Espie too.¡±
¡°Hmph~?¡±
And even though she was arguing with me, Espie hummed and returned to her good mood the moment she was ready to eat.
Do you like this that much?
¡°Alright, now it¡¯s ready to go! Well, the three of us did well today, and we got through it in one piece, and with yer¡¯s wee¡ thanks for the meal!¡±
¡°Thanks for the meal!¡±
¡°Eh, uh, th, thanks for the meal.¡±
The three of us sit on the ground in a circle and say, ¡°thanks for the meal.¡±
Come to think of it, since when was thest time I gave ¡°thanks¡± at a meal?
In the first ce, eating with someone else¡
¡°Oh. K, karah!?¡±
Tte, th, this Curry! The moment I put it in my mouth, my tongue felt numb! S, spicy!
¡°Kuhaha, well, I guess that¡¯s how it is at first?¡±
¡°Nihi~ such a kid~?¡±
The stimtion was more than I expected, and in an instant, sweat poured out of every pore on my body.
Even though I usually camp, I don¡¯t really care about seasoning, I just grill the meat of the animals, so this was my first time doing this.
And yet¡
¡°¡¡ ahm¡¡ ah, Kari¡ ahm, ahm-ahm¡¡ ahm¡±
And yet¡ I can¡¯t stop! The mixture of rice and the mysterious substance called curry.
Along with the juicy meat, the sweet, tender vegetables change the taste.
At first, the color was a bit ¡°ugh¡±, and it was also spicy. Normally, I would find it distasteful.
And yet, I keep eating more. What?
¡°Do you need another helping~?¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
Huh? My te is empty¡ huh? I ate? No. It felt like I had drunk it all, and before I knew it, I had eaten it all.
¡°There is plenty more, by the way, I¡¯ll have another te full!¡±
¡°Aah, Big brother and yer are so fast! I¡¯m having seconds too! Om-nom-nom-nom!¡±
¡°Espie~, don¡¯t rush.¡±
¡°But, you¡¯re going to eat it all!¡±
I mean, I ended up eating a whole lot of food in front of other people¡but¡is that okay?
Both Brother and Espie do it that way¡ well¡ I don¡¯t know¡¡ I don¡¯t think it¡¯s undignified to see.
It¡¯s weird¡
¡°Is it good, yer?¡±
¡°Ah¡ um¡ yeah¡ oh, it was delicious¡¡±
Sure, this is the first time I¡¯ve eaten it, but¡ it was delicious.
¡°Right~?¡±
And Brother smiled happily and somewhat proudly.
He has the strength topete with the Six Supremacy, is strong enough to y with me in the palm of his hand, is cool, kind, and knows many things.
¡°Hey, Brother.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°About being a disciple¡¡±
If I learn from Brother, I can live stronger and more freely on my own.
I thought that again.
That¡¯s why I wondered if he would take me as a disciple.
But Brother¡
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I¡¯m still too inexperienced to be a Master.¡±
¡°But¡¡±
Brother chuckled a little, but soon patted me on the head again¡
¡°Well, but instead¡ let¡¯s experience a lot of things together for a little while, and just have fun! We¡¯re all in this together.¡±
Also, Brother said something that I had never thought of.
Have fun.
I want to be strong enough to live on my own, but he wants us all to have fun together.
I don¡¯t know what it means to have fun. I had never thought about it.
He said it like it was obvious.
And it¡¯s weird.
I couldn¡¯t argue with him about anything.
¡°¡¡ un¡¡±
Rather, I naturally nodded to Brother¡¯s words, ¡°Let¡¯s have fun.¡±
It¡¯s really weird¡
Chapter 308: Intermission (The Unmanly Dragon King)
Chapter 308 ¨C Intermission (The Unmanly Dragon King)
¨D¨DYou want to make me yours? Shall I slice off that filthy used-up tail of yours?
Long ago. That woman said that in th¡¯ spring of my youth.
¨D¨DShiznautmy will be destroyed. I will not change my mind¡ in return, no matter what battles we have with the humans, I will not forcibly summon you. Farewell, my friend
My one and only best friend, more powerful than I am, and th¡¯ only one I acknowledge.
¨D¨DHaving my way with men? Hmph, the war is over now, so like, I can¡¯t just keep doing that childish stuff. Anal is so trendy now¡ that¡¯s not wh, ahem, there¡¯s only one thing I want. Some backdoor action with that man¡¯s technique¡ no I mean, anyway! I¡¯m soo gonna make him take responsibility for deflowering me!
A corrupting, yet fun drinking buddy. She¡¯s still alive, but we¡¯ve been estranged for years.
¨D¨DWill you lend me your strength, Dragon King of Hades? Well, I won¡¯t force it just yet. However, our war is far from over. In the days toe, we¡¯ll see each other again.
That demon, who was once my rival, still seems to be trying to resist th¡¯ changing times, but I haven¡¯t seen him for many years.
However, I may be th¡¯ one who is left behind, unable to ept th¡¯ changes of th¡¯ times.
I can¡¯t make fun of Hakuki.
After all, each and every one of them have left me behind¡
¡°Fuwaaaa~ah¡¡±
I must have fallen asleep.
And it seemed as if I had indulged in a wee somber memory.
When I look at th¡¯ wee ones living in th¡¯ new era, I can¡¯t help but remember my own shining days, try topare them to th¡¯ past, and even get nostalgic.
¡°So, it seems that didn¡¯t work. Nuwahahahahaha, it¡¯s about time¡ shall I go home as well?¡±
I open my eyes and there they are, th¡¯ wee ones, kneeling on their knees, exhausted.
It seems that put in quite th¡¯ effort while I was asleep.
¡°Haa, haa, damn,¡¡±
¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡ all of our attacks¡¡±
¡°Seriously, this sucks¡ even though we attacked him with everything we had, he was asleep the whole time¡¡±
¡°Not a single ¡¡ scratch on him at all¡¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t know such a creature existed in this world¡¡±
¡°So this is¡ the World¡¯s Strongest ss¡ as they say.¡±
I heard that th¡¯ weed and his bride had also departed with Hilua, and I thought about returning to th¡¯ Demon Realm immediately, when I met these wee ones.
Among them was a descendant of Kaguya. Well, that doesn¡¯t really matter, but after we talked for a while, they somehow ended up asking to train with me.
How bothersome, I was reluctant, but on a whim I decided to give them a wee bit of attention.
However, all they had to do was ¡°use whatever means to inflict some pain on me¡±.
However, I was in apletely defensive posture, flowing magic into th¡¯ scales of my whole body and covering my whole body with both wings.
In this state, I am more irond than th¡¯ ¡°Zan¡± of Norja¡¯s F¨±rinkazan, and even Terra-ss magic cannot hurt me.
In other words, I knew that they couldn¡¯t do anything about it at their current level.
And sure enough, they were unable to exceed my expectations.
¡°Damn¡ not yet¡¡ not yet, please! We can still move! Right? Rebal, Fu, Sadiz, Machio, Shinobu!¡±
Such ambition.
She seems to be a childhood friend of that weed and appears to be in love with him¡ regardless, they are gritting their teeth, trying hard to use me to keep up with th¡¯d, who is in a higher realm than they are, so that they don¡¯t get left behind.
They have a decent amount of talent.
But¡¡
¡°Well~, I don¡¯t mind apanying you a wee bit longer, but¡ it¡¯s pointless to go on like this, yesh? You haven¡¯t even reached th¡¯ minimum level where I would be willing to converse with our might. So I lost interest, got bored and fell asleep halfway through.¡±
All of them only wield power within th¡¯ limits of what is expected of them.
¡°At least, it¡¯s not something that can change today or tomorrow. Th¡¯ fact that your friend, that weed, had exerted more power than I expected, that was no awakening of his hidden powers or any such convenience. That probably blossomed after a long period of steady and diligent training. You don¡¯t have that sort of thing at th¡¯ moment, yesh? You seem to be training at th¡¯ same level as most would.¡±
As long as this is th¡¯ case, they cannot do anything against me, and above all, my flesh and blood does not surge. My soul does not tremble. I am not enthralled.
So, in th¡¯ end, I remain idle.
But even so¡¡
¡°Still¡ we can¡¯t afford to end in failure.¡±
¡°At the end of it¡ we need more rity about our own issues.¡±
¡°We can¡¯t go on like this.¡±
¡°First of all, it¡¯s not about how we climb the steep mountain¡ first, we climb. We¡¯re still in that realm.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let Kron-san be called Honey¡¯s wife forever. That¡¯s why¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s why, Dragon King of Hades¡ please stay with us a little longer.¡±
For now, they¡¯re still not broken.
Th¡¯ fact that they¡¯re still so determined is their only salvation for now.
¡°Oh~, fine fine, let¡¯s keep each otherpany a wee bit longer. But, you know, I doubt you can do anything about it with mere grit, yesh? You¡¯re just throwing all your strength around, yesh? There is no ingenuity, or trial and error. Then all I have to do is to strengthen myself with more power than you can dish out.¡±
Oh my goodness. why am I giving such small fry my attention¡ there is only one reason.
Although I imed not to care who their parents were, but I had a wee bit of¡
¡°Huh¡ it can¡¯t be helped.¡±
It¡¯s a whim, but¡ still, Kaguya¡¯s descendant¡ and th¡¯ children of th¡¯ Heroes who defeated Tre¡¯ainar¡ th¡¯ thought of them remaining as small fries doesn¡¯t sit well with me¡
Oh my goodness, how unmanly of me.
¡°From what I¡¯ve learned so far¡ what youck is actualbat experience. Ast-ditch battle, a fight with your lives at stake against someone who¡¯s on par with you or a wee bit better¡ you don¡¯t have that experience, yesh? Usually, it is through such experience that you can see th¡¯ issues. And you can¡¯t get that in a mock battle against a superior opponent like me.¡±
¡°We get what you¡¯re saying. We have no experience in serious battle with our equals, and the only time we have had any experience is when we fought Paripi, of the Six Supremacy¡ no, it can¡¯t even be called a battle. It was like being torn to shreds¡¡±
¡°I guess so. But unless you do that, you won¡¯t be able to break through th¡¯ shell, yesh?¡±
¡°Then¡ we¡¯ll have mock battles amongst ourselves¡¡±
¡°No no, there is no point in mock battles. What you need is a serious fight.¡±
¡°But that¡¯s¡¡±
¡°I know, so I¡¯ll teach you some interesting magic. Use it to ¡®imagine¡¯ an equally strong opponent of your own imagination, and experience a serious battle.¡±
¡°?¡±
That¡¯s why I decided to teach you.
Once, at th¡¯ drinking party with Tre¡¯ainar¡ when I got drunk and cried about Kaguya¡ he taught me th¡¯ only magic he knew that wouldfort my unmanly ways¡
¡°It¡¯s called Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿. I don¡¯t mind if you misuse it for purposes other than training, and that¡¯s where th¡¯ real pleasure is, but don¡¯t use it too much ?¡±
Chapter 309: Intermission (The Rejuvenated Maid)
Chapter 309 ¨C Intermission (The Rejuvenated Maid)
Reason.
I think I always maintained that, at least in public.
Since he was a child, my Little man was too cute, the strongest in the world.
In fact, when he was young, he was truly an angel.
But still, to devour¡ no I mean, I restrained myself from letting my emotions get the better of me.
Because, Little man is an important family member to me, and the son of my Master and Madam, to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude.
In the future, he will be the sessor of a great hero¡ but now that I think about it, it was a future that ignored Little man¡¯s feelings, wasn¡¯t it?
In any case, I¡¯m a maid.
Little man is the Lord I serve.
So as not to cross that line, I have kept my asional pranks on the edge.
But that¡¯s only in reality.
And now¡
¡¸Sadiz¡ I¡.. I want to take a bath with you¡¡¹
¡¸Yes, of course ?.¡¹
The former archangel era of Little man, which I thought would never return.
Before he had acquired any sexual knowledge. But when he was old enough to be excited about the female body.
In the spacious bath of the mansion, we often took a bath together to clean Little man¡¯s body.
At such times, I felt blissful, but at the same time, I can¡¯t remember how many times I felt like I almost did something I shouldn¡¯t have¡
¡¸Oh, uh¡¡¹
Ufufufufu, rustle rustle as I unbuttoned the ribbons and buttons, and slowly lowered the skirt as well, revealing the standard white frilly panties and bra to Little man.
Sure enough, Little man was¡ or rather, it¡¯s only in my fantasy, but his face turned red and he became flustered.
I asked him a favor I had never asked him before.
¡¸Little man. Could you please,,, unhook my bra?¡¹
¡¸Huh? Eeeeh? M, me?¡¹
¡¸Yes ?.¡¹
¡¸B, but¡¡¹
¡¸Ufufufufu, please, Little man. Come on, please.¡¹
Little man is bewildered as he reached for the hook of my bra with his trembling little fingertips.
Amazing. In reality, I would have a nonstop nosebleed and drooling¡
¡¸Erm, uh¡¡¹
¡¸Ahn ?.¡¹
Faithfully reproducing what I imagined, down to the touch.
His fingertips touched my back for a moment, and when I made a ticklish cry, he panicked and pulled his fingers back, looking apologetic.
Yes, it¡¯s perfect down to the smallest detail.
¡¸No need to hold back, Little man. Now, please do your best.¡¹
¡¸Y, yeah, uh, um then¡ like this? Ah¡¡¹
¡¸Oh, thank you very much ?.¡¹
¡¸Eeh!?¡¹
Ohhohohohoho, the moment he took the hooks off, I turned around and thanked him, my breasts made Little man giddy.
Fuuuuh~, he¡¯s so cute!
Oh, that¡¯s okay, right? Whatever I do, no matter what we doooo!
¡¸Little man, are you okay?¡¹
¡¸Ah, awa, oh, ah¡¡¹
¡¸Oh my oh my, it seems that it¡¯s too stimting for Little man. But, this knowledge is necessary for gentlemen¡ today we will study health and physical education in the bath ?.¡¹
¡¸Ho, ke, ah, aaaaah, S, Sadiz, pa, papa, pan!?¡¹
¡¸It¡¯s embarrassing¡ but, Little man, take a closer look. Right? Come closer¡¡¹
Fuh~¡¡ I can¡¯t stand it anymore.
¡¸Ah, ah, Sadiz~, m, my body, feels weird¡ am I sick?¡¹
¡¸Well, it¡¯s serious ?, Oho¡¡ m, mmm. Little man, please let me see you better. Come on, don¡¯t hide it with your hands, be more regal¡¡ ?¡¹
¡¸Oh, n, no good, Sadiz¡¡¹
¡¸Little man ?¡¹
Archangel. Thank you for being born into this world.
And now, thanks for the meal.
Hah~¡¡ how precious?
Really, it¡¯s so addictive that I can¡¯t stop ?.
Now¡¡
¡°Fuh¡ Somehow¡. we may have gone into invincible mental mode.¡±
After a moment of superb fantasy, I¡¯ve calmed down a bit.
Looking back, I was emotionally distressed for a while.
For the sin that I hadmitted against Little man in the Imperial Match.
Since then, I had chased after Little man.
Our days in Cacretale.
From then on, I reconciled with Little man, but I hadplicated feelings toward the Great Demon King.
The helplessness I felt in the battle against the Seraphs and Paripi.
All I could do was see off Little man as he departed.
And the days when I was in a hurry to be stronger under the Dragon King of Hades.
Those days may have somehow taken away myposure.
¡°It¡¯s not just mybat experience that¡¯scking¡ maybe what I needed was more calmness¡e to think of it, I haven¡¯t replenished the tranquilizers in my room in the Empire for the past few months¡¡±
I was mentally cornered, and the more impatient I became, the more counterproductive it was, and the more things I had hoped for ended up backfiring on me.
Maybe that wasn¡¯t good enough.
¡°But with this magic, I canfort myself whenever I want¡ and I¡¯ve been able to get a lot of things out of my system. Now I feel like I can hope for many things with more leeway. Really¡¡ I have been taught some amazing magic.¡±
Instead of feeling impatient to ¡°get stronger as soon as possible¡± like before, I now have the motivation to ¡°do it.¡±
Maybe now I can do anything.
¡¸Kuhahahahaha¡ Sadiz, can you catch me?¡¹
And Little man from around the time of the Imperial Match, created from my imagination.
First of all, I have to get to a level where I can catch Little man, who ran away from the Empire back then.
¡¸Yes, I¡¯ll catch you.¡¹
¡¸Try it. If you catch me, I¡¯ll cuddle with you on the bed.¡¹
¡¸¡¡ Hmm~¡¡ this fantasy is different, isn¡¯t it? Little man is a bit of a cker, so he wouldn¡¯t say a line like that. In fact, I¡¯d rather give you a lot of love¡ okay, let¡¯s go with that.¡¹
¡¸Come on, ¡¾Great Demon Swerve¡¿!¡¹
¡¸Here Ie!¡¹
And someday, I¡¯ll definitely have the real Little man¡ yes, the Little man who was going around the world as he pleased, and if anything should happen, I¡¯ll have the strength to quickly catch up¡.
Special Shoutout to all my Patrons. You guys are amazing. THANK YOU!!!

Chapter 310: Intermission (The Negative Princess)
Chapter 310 ¨C Intermission (The Negative Princess)
¡¸Kron¡ I love you.¡¹
¡¸So do I, Earth. I hope to be happy, the two of us¡ no, with this child in my belly, the three of us.¡¹
In front of me was a couple in a tuxedo and pure white wedding dress.
The two are about to be ¡°husband and wife¡±.
Blessed by many people, they are smiling happily at each other at the center of it all.
Ever since I was a child, I thought I would be the one standing at that ce, wearing that dress.
But it¡¯s different¡
¡¸Nnmh.¡¹
¡¸?¡¹
Apuse erupted as the two pressed their lips together.
All I can do is watch it.
¡¸Tsu¡ uh¡¡¹
Such despair that I want to destroy the scene in front of me¡ I want to bash my head in¡ what despair ¡¡
In addition¡¡
¡¸Ohhohohoho, Honey! How mean of you, it¡¯s not just the three of you, is it? You need to make us happy along with Sasuke and Sakura!¡¹
¡¸Yeah, I know. I mean¡ I also have ¡®three¡¯ wives¡ well, this is the future I wanted.¡¹
¡¸Anh ?¡¹
A sudden intrusion¡or so I thought, but Earth epted it as normal.
Suddenly making out in front of me? It¡¯s not that.
¡¸You guys ¡ I¡¯ll definitely make you happy.¡¹
¡¸Fufufu, thank you. Then, I¡¯ll make you even happier.¡¹
Shinobu was holding two babies in her arms.
Earth hugged the three of them as if he was wrapping them all in his arms.
It is truly a close-knit ¡°family¡±.
And¡¡
¡¸Oh my, Little man, so heated. But, you must be having a lot of trouble because you can¡¯t ©–©–©– with Kron who is pregnant, or with Shinobu who is tired from raising your children, right? Then please feel free to use me.¡¹
¡¸Ah, h, hey¡¡¹
¡¸Oh my, no matter how old you are, you¡¯re still naive, aren¡¯t you ??¡¹
What I¡¯ve always wanted is to be seen by Earth as a ¡®woman¡¯.
That gaze has never been directed at me.
And¡¡
¡¸Ara! It¡¯s our first night as newlyweds, so of course I¡¯ll be participating today! Don¡¯t worry, there are things you can do even if you¡¯re pregnant!¡¹
¡¸Ufufufu, don¡¯t underestimate me just because I¡¯ve given birth. Mommy is going to hustle today too ?.¡¹
¡¸Then tonight¡ let¡¯s all love each other ?.¡¹
I guess this is what they call a ¡°harem¡±.
¡¸Yeah, I¡¯m going to take care of you all together today!¡¹
And among them I ¡ I¡
¡°Uooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! It¡¯s not real! I¡ I will never allow such a possible future!!! I will not allow it! This is the one thing I won¡¯t give up either!!¡±
The next moment, I screamed from the bottom of my heart.
¡°Haa, ha, ha, ha¡ goodness¡ what a nightmare¡ I imagined something terrible¡ Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿¡¡ it¡¯s terrifying.¡±
Even though I was in a dream, my heart felt like it was about to break.
My whole body was exhausted.
I never thought I would be able to reproduce my delusions so faithfully.
And¡¡
¡°And¡ this¡¡ is not something that can be dismissed as just a delusion¡¡±
Yes. It was a delusion. But that doesn¡¯t mean it can¡¯t happen in reality.
Even if the harem is overkill, someone who was in it may be standing next to Earth in the future.
She could wear a wedding dress and marry Earth.
She could also give birth to Earth¡¯s child and be a happy family.
She could also be desired by Earth as a woman and flirt with him.
It wouldn¡¯t be strange if one of those three ended up with Earth someday.
And what about me?
I can¡¯t do anything, I¡¯m out of the loop, I¡¯m just the loser¡ it¡¯s not impossible.
No¡..
¡°Far from being impossible¡ in the first ce, it¡¯s more likely that this will happen at this point¡¡±
Yes, this is a future that could be the default route if things remain as they are now.
I, who from a very young age had the ludicrous assumption that Earth and I were in love with each other and understood each other, should always be prepared for the worst possible scenario.
Yes, the worst¡
¡°The worst future¡ kuh¡ fu~¡ I¡¯m shameful too¡ it¡¯s also one of the happiest futures for Earth¡ and the worst¡ for me¡ just for me¡ seriously, don¡¯t make meugh, Phianse. After all, I only thought about myself¡ and I always have¡¡±
Unable to even celebrate Earth¡¯s happiness, I cry out about being unhappy and in despair.
When I look back at myself in this way, I realize how foolish I am.
Goodness, I thought Earth and I were falling in love.
But that¡¯s why¡
¡°I will not end up ¡¡ disappointed in myself ¡¡ like this¡¡±
I¡¯ll stand against it.
Really. Seriously. And refine myself.
That¡¯s what I swore.
¨D¨DIt¡¯s time to start from scratch. I won¡¯t lose to you, who wants to go out into the world and live freely¡as a princess, as a warrior, as a woman¡ I¡ I will aim higher. Right now, from this moment
In the Heavenly World, when I faced Earth with my true feelings for the first time¡
¡¸Oh my? Earth, that person¡ she¡¯s scary. She¡¯s trying to take away our happiness¡¡¹
¡¸Hmph, what use is a defeated heroine when we are so happy together?¡¹
¡¸We don¡¯t have time to y with the princess. We must eat something hearty and get ready for the night. Today, I will put the children to bed early, and you too Little man ¡ Ufufufu ?¡¹
Until recently, whenever the girls in my ss started to take a liking to Earth, I would impatiently do things that showed my possessiveness or say something unfavorable about Earth.
But not anymore.
¡¸The bridegroom ¡ I¡¯m not going to take him away, but let¡¯s have them fight me, shall we? I don¡¯t know Kron¡¯s power, so I can¡¯t use her¡ Shinobu¡¯s strength is close to my current self¡ and Sadiz stronger than me right now¡¡¹
I will surely hone everything about myself so that someday, I will be seen as a woman.
Chapter 311: Intermission (The Future Deluding Kunoichi)
Chapter 311 ¨C Intermission (The Future Deluding Kunoichi)
¡¸I don¡¯t want Sasuke and Sakura to attend the Academy.¡¹
¡¸I understand that you have mixed feelings about the Academy. But, I think the title of Academy Graduate will be useful no matter what path they take in the future.¡¹
¡¸Well, you should think about such things after these two are older. I dropped out of the Academy after all.¡¹
¡¸But, rather than regretting it, saying ¡®if only I had gone to the academy back then¡¡¯ when you¡¯re older¡¡¹
After ten years of marriage, the conversation between husband and wife was centered on their beloved children.
¡¸Hey, Sasuke, and Sakura. Do you two have any dreams for the future?¡¹
¡¸A strong, cool adult like father!¡¹
¡¸Daddy¡¯s, wife. And, a florist!¡¹
Personally, I want my children to go on to the Imperial Warrior Academy so that they can have a better future.
Although I graduated from Japone¡¯s Ninja Academy at the top of my ss, I had the bitter experience of discovering the difficulty of being a Ninja Warrior. However, it was a stroke of luck that I was able to leave the country and meet my beloved Honey, but¡ Anyway, I want my children to have the title of Imperial Warrior Academy graduate, which will be useful to them no matter where they go in the world or what path they take.
¡¸You know? We don¡¯t need to think about all the academy-likepetition just yet, do we?¡¹
Honey, on the other hand, doesn¡¯t care about such things. The children can continue on the normal path. He just hopes that they grow up to be energetic, kind to others, and with the guts to make an effort on top of that.
Of course, I agree with that.
But there are other things too¡
¡¸That¡¯s true, but¡ the neighbors are already preparing for the entrance exam war, by sending them to cram school, right? The sooner you prepare for war, the better. Otherwise, when the timees to fight, you can¡¯t fight because you were unprepared.¡¹
My thoughts and Honey¡¯s thoughts end up shing¡
¡¡ or so I think.
¡°¡¡ I wonder if it will go something like this. Honey seems to spoil the children tremendously for some reason¡¡±
And not only of happiness, but this fantasy is also of a husband and wife bickering about the future of their children together ¡ it¡¯s a dream¡no, it¡¯s a simtion of a happy family n.
Fantasy Magic, ¡¾Vier¡¿, an illusory spell taught to us by the Dragon King of Hades, Vasr. It¡¯s really amazing.
Perhaps because magic and ninjutsu have the same roots, even I, who had never studied magic, was able to activate it in this way.
This will allow me to take measures against any marital problems that may arise in the future.
Of course, there¡¯s still no guarantee that Honey will choose me over Kron-san or Sadiz-san, or that I¡¯ll be able to make him like me.
But my ambition isn¡¯t to make Honey like me more than either of them. After all, all this is just a hypothetical.
My ambition is to build a happy family. And to make Honey and our children feel happy.
In building that happiness, there may be bumps along the way, so I do image training for those times.
Yes, a married couple is not just a couple that makes out.
When Honeyes home from work, I greet him in a naked apron, and as I turn my back to go to the kitchen, Honeyes from behind me and I go¡ An ?¡ and all night long we have an endurance child-making festival and all that kind of thing. Of course, if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take it on with a bang, but¡
Anyway, sometimes couples need to feel free to disagree with each other.
¡°It¡¯s just¡ there¡¯s something that I can¡¯t predict at this point in time¡ what kind of job Honey himself will take in the future¡ from what I¡¯ve heard of Honey¡¯s past, he may never go back to the Empire again or be an Imperial Warrior¡¡±
In that case, no matter how much I think it would be better for my children to graduate from the Imperial Academy, Honey may still be reluctant, and the ce where we will live in the future may not be the Empire in the first ce.
¡°Living in Japone with Honey wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea¡ it¡¯s just, as a runaway ninja, I¡¯m not sure how I would be seen¡ Koujiro-sama might wee me with a smile, though¡¡±
In this way, I was able to recreate in my dreams what I had been thinking only in my head, and as a result, I was even more worried about the future.
I wonder if this is what they call ¡®Wedding Blues¡¯?
¡°Better yet, maybe it wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea for our family to be Adventurers or Hunters and raise the children while traveling the world¡ un? Ooh? ¡¡ Hmm¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t get my thoughts together, so I suddenly opened up again and said what came to mind¡ But as for that¡¡
¡°Okay¡ maybe!¡±
Surprisingly, I didn¡¯t think it was too bad.
¡°In fact, Honey won¡¯t be rooted in one ce for long, he¡¯ll be going around the world¡ but raising children while traveling¡ well, on the contrary, it¡¯s a great way to give them a variety of experiences. Besides, it might be better for me and Honey to give them knowledge about how to study and fight than to send them to the Academy. Honey seems to be good at teaching people¡ as far as I¡¯ve heard from listening to Mortriage-kun and his friends¡¡±
I¡¯m a little concerned that it might be a bit risky and that our ie might not be stable, but it¡¯s still a viable option for me in the future.
¡°Raising young children while traveling¡ I wonder¡¡ I could be very happy. What would Honey think of that idea? Will he approve?¡±
Okay, so I¡¯ll have to simte that right away¡ and not really!
¡°If I¡¯m going to live that kind of life¡ I can¡¯t drag my feet in that life¡ after all, I really need to improve myself. It¡¯s not just about the future, but also about improving myself now¡¡±
Yes, it¡¯s not just about simtions, but I will also have to step up to the te and improve my level in preparation for theing future.
Let¡¯s put aside the time for happy worries¡
¡°First of all, Phianse-hime¡ Nii-san¡¡ and Honey, who defeated me when we first met in the forest¡ let¡¯s fight! After that, I will face the current Honey, Paripi, Koujiro-sama and the others through image training!¡±
For the sake of the future, I will certainly dedicate myself to standing next to Honey.
Wait for me, Honey¡ no, you. And our dear children.
Chapter 312: Competing
Chapter 312 ¨C Competing
¡°GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!¡±
We came across a pack of ferocious fire dragons.
Spitting fire from above, they set the forest aze, wielding their sharp ws and fangs in a rampage.
Large and agile, they are truly formidable¡ that¡¯s what I would have thought in the past.
¡°Their power is iparable to Mr. Aka¡¯s, their speed is slower than mine, and their fighting style is all monotonous¡ the power of their me is weaker than Fu¡¯s¡¡ more than anything else, after seeing Vasr¡ I see¡¡ this is a fire dragon¡¡±
But now it¡¯s like this.
¡°¡¾Fluffy Panic¡¿! Alright, that¡¯s the third one!¡±
¡°¡¾Northern Cross Shooting Star¡¿! I¡¯m on my third one too!¡±
Now that¡¯s how it is¡ I feel sorry for the fire dragons¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Smash¡¿!¡±
¡ºWell, after all, tis a wild fire dragon. With low intelligence and not much in terms of level¡ they make unworthy opponents for you, Espie, and yer now.¡»
And I also knocked a dragon down with a single shockwave of my fist.
The only dragon I¡¯ve ever met was Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades, sopared to him¡ well, it¡¯s nothingpared to him.
¡°Hehe,e to think of it¡ Fu and Rebal were attacked by a group of fire dragons while studying abroad, and they looked so smug because they subdued them¡ well, if I wanted to do it, it would be like this.¡±
¡°Three! I won!¡±
¡°I defeated three of them too!¡±
As we were advancing through the deep forests and mountains toward Shiznautmy, it seemed like we came across a fire dragon¡¯s nest, and the fire dragons took notice and attacked us all at once.
But, as Tre¡¯ainar said, perhaps because of their low intelligence, they didn¡¯t seem to understand the opponent¡¯s strength, so me, Espie, and yer fought back.
¡°Yes, yes, you two. Good boy, good girl.¡±
¡°Mm~¡±
¡°Mmm~¡±
I mean, I only beat one of them.
For the past few days, Espie and yer have beenpeting with each other in everything, and I¡¯m having a hard time dealing with it.
You guys are going to get married in the future, so I think you should get along¡
¡°And you two¡ you didn¡¯t kill them, right? We were the ones who tried to cross their nest in the first ce.¡±
¡°Un, I just knocked them out.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t do anything to harm the ecosystem. It¡¯s the basics of being a Hunter. But then again¡ if you defeat this many fire dragons, you¡¯ll get a considerable reward at a cash exchange office in the city or something, is that okay?¡±
¡°Oh, I don¡¯t have a problem with money¡ I made a killing off the horses¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Big brother, you got a lot of money from horses. When yer wasn¡¯t around!¡±
¡°Hmm¡¡±
In this way, she follows my orders other than ¡°get along¡±, so I guess I¡¯ll just have to put up with the fact that they don¡¯t really get along.
¡°Anyway, yay we did good, right? Come on, touch!¡±
¡°Yay!¡±
¡°Y¡ yay.¡±
As the three of us high-fived each other and rejoiced, our journey continued.
¡°But, it¡¯s been a few days since we crossed the ins and crossed the mountains from Ghenkan¡ it¡¯s still a long way to Shiznautmy~¡±
While pacifying the little kid, who was about to start a fight when I took my eyes off him for a moment, I looked at the vast forest visible from the top of the mountain and realized that we were still far from our destination.
In other words, this journey will continue for a little while longer.
¡°Uh-huh, that¡¯s right. To get to Shiznautmy¡ here, look at my map. This is where we are now, and in another 2~3 days, there will be a slightlyrger city, Ikkanai City, and we will have to go through that.¡±
¡°In other words, we¡¯re just a few more camps away¡¡±
¡°Uh-huh. But with this much forest, there¡¯s plenty of edible beasts, fruits, and wild grasses, so it won¡¯t be a problem. Um¡you can still make that curry, right?¡±
¡°Yeah, sure.¡±
yer took out a map from his luggage and unfolded it. Even though he¡¯s a kid, he¡¯s the true Hunter around here.
I didn¡¯t have a map either, so it helps.
¡°yer, have you ever been to Ikkanai City?¡±
¡°A few times. There are quite a lot of different jobsing in there. Monster ying, ecological research, and the mafia¡ things rted to elves¡ just ask me anything.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s great.¡±
Saying that, I suddenly lightly patted yer¡¯s head again.
Honestly, until a few days ago, this guy was like, ¡°Can you please stop that?¡±, but now he epts it as normal.
On the contrary¡
¡°¡¡ hehe¡±
¡°Mwah!?¡±
Something like that, he even smiled triumphantly at Espie.
¡°¡¡ Big brother. My Fluffy Flight will get you there faster.¡±
¡°No, no, I¡¯m not in that much of a hurry¡¡±
Espie also followed along, feeling a sense of rivalry.
Flight¡¡ that¡¯s certainly possible¡
¡ºThat would not contribute to your training¡ besides, these mountains and forests are perfect for camping.¡»
Since it also serves as camp training, I decided to refrain from cheating a bit, as per my master¡¯s advice.
But, it is a little that much more worrisome that I¡¯ll have to deal with the little kids who don¡¯t get along¡
¡°Uh~¡¡ Big brother, are you tired? Let me give you a shoulder rub, okay?¡±
¡°Oh, flirty! Brother, aren¡¯t you tired? I¡¯ll give you a massage.¡±
¡°¡¡ Mmm, I¡¯ll do it! Don¡¯t copy me!¡±
¡°I¡¯m stronger, so I¡¯m better at it!¡±
¡°Bu~¡±
¡°Mm~¡¡¡±
No, they don¡¯t get along, or maybe this is because they are just so alike.
Above all, this situation has happened many times before¡
¡°Yes, until then. No fighting. Besides, I can see the river over there, so let¡¯s camp there today. It¡¯s Curry.¡±
¡°Ah, yeah! Curry! Alright~, I¡¯ll look for dessert!¡±
¡°Oh, Curry¡ un, I understand, Big brother. I¡¯ll make the fire today!¡±
Yes, no matter how many times they fought, in the end, these guys forgot about it with Curry.
Awesome Curry.
Oh, these guys are too addicted to Curry.
Well, I can¡¯t help but think back on the way they changed when Curry got involved when I met them in the present era.
¡ºHmph. Meaning the original Curry that I devised is outstanding.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also looks somewhat happy, or rather, he was proudly going, ¡°Fufu¡± with a smug look on his face. Well, I like it too.
¡¸Well, it will take a few days, but from the looks of it, it won¡¯t be that difficult a journey to Shiznautmy.¡¹
¡ºHmm? Well, tis certainly so. I believe Ikkanai City was under the umbre of the Bockmati family, but after all, it was a secondary ~ tertiary group ss¡ if you do not cause any trouble, there will be no problem, and the child today would have nothing to be wary of.¡»
¡¸Oh, Bockmati¡ that takes me back.¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t deny my words as I watched Espie and yer run topete with each other, saying they couldn¡¯t wait for Curry.
¡ºWhat you need to be wary of is the area around Shiznautmy. By this period, the Demon King Army and the Allied Forces will be in close proximity. We will need to sneak under the watchful eyes of both armies and reach the deepest part of the ruins¡¡»
¡¸If we reach there¡ I can return to the present era¡¡¹
Return to modern times. That¡¯s the purpose of this journey.
But, on the other hand, the fact that I¡¯m going home means¡
¡°Big brother, hurry up!¡±
¡°What are you waiting for, brother!¡±
These two¡ that¡¯s the only thing that will tear my heart out¡ but until then¡ and when that timees¡
Chapter 313: Quarrel Among Comrades
Chapter 313 ¨C Quarrel Among Comrades
We crossed mountains, passed through forests, and pushed on through the wilderness.
Along the way, we were sometimes attacked by ferocious beasts and monsters, but we dealt with them respectfully and there were no particr problems.
But¡¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Hey, Big brother¡ this is¡¡±
¡°¡¡ it¡¯s¡a camp¡¡¡±
Along the river on the way through the forest, we found traces of what was clearly someone¡¯s camp.
Firewood, food scraps, and other things that clearly belonged to someone¡ no¡..
¡°Brother, here¡ look.¡±
¡°¡¡ah¡¡¡±
There was some discarded trash on the ground, but I found a small bag among them.
And the bag was something I knew.
¡°Calorie Friend¡¡±
It was a portable food given to the soldiers of the Demon King Army that Tre¡¯ainar once developed.
I bought it at yer¡¯s store in the future¡ in other words, in my original era.
But in this era, others besides me had it.
Naturally, they were¡
¡°The Demon King Army¡¡±
That¡¯s all there was.
¡ºI suppose. Andst night¡ I assumed as much. A few dozen troops of the Demon King Army were probably herest night¡ tis likely what happened¡ but suchck of manners, one must clean up after camping.¡»
That¡¯s what Tre¡¯ainar said, and there¡¯s no doubt about it.
I scanned the surrounding area using radar, but I didn¡¯t feel any presence nearby.
But, if the opponent was not a monster but the Demon King Army, then we must be vignt.
¡°Demon King Army? Brother, why do you think so just because they dropped this thing?¡±
¡°Hmm? Because that¡¯s catered to the Demon King Army.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
I answered yer¡¯s question smoothly, but was it a mistake?
¡°Big brother, is that true!?¡±
¡°Why did Brother have that? You¡¯re human, not in the Demon King Army, right?¡±
Even Espie was surprised¡ no¡.. but¡¡
¡°Well¡ it¡¯s convenient. Depending on the situation, I might have fought against the Demon King Army, but even if I am a human, I don¡¯t have any grudge or hatred towards the Demon King Army, and even if I did¡ race has nothing to do with culture or technology. The key to growth is to be flexible and ept excellent things.¡±
I said it naturally and proudly, but somehow¡
¡ºPuh, Kukukuku¡»
Tre¡¯ainar wasughing so hard.
Well, Tre¡¯ainar told me the same thing.
I never thought that I would give Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s sales pitch not only to yer, but also to Espie of the Seven Heroes.
¡°That¡¯s right¡ if Big brother said so, then it must be true!¡±
¡°Be flexible¡ or¡ ept what needs to be epted without any preconceived notions¡ as expected of you, Brother!¡±
And these guys are good kids! Their eyes sparkled and looked at me with respect¡ no, no, those were the words of the Great Demon King.
¡°Aside from that¡ it¡¯s more troublesome to encounter the Demon King Army than monsters¡¡±
¡ºWell, perhaps tis some portion of Norja¡¯s retreating subordinates. Those who do not join the main body and perform other tasks to survey the area and make maps. However, I never attached any particr importance to this area, so I have no recollection of ordering an invasion of this region.¡»
¡°Brother, but the enemy isn¡¯t nearby, right?¡±
¡°Certainly, there are some disturbing signs¡¡±
They may have been herest night, but the problem is¡
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡»
Suddenly, someone was caught on my radar.
¡°Big brother? Ah¡¡±
¡°Hmm? There are signs of¡¡±
A littleter than me, Espie and yer seemed to have sensed it as well.
Something wasing towards us.
A lot of it.
What¡¯s more, as if slowly creeping up on us, killing their presence¡
¡°¡¡ Ten¡¡ no, twenty-five¡ people¡ they¡¯re slowly spreading and trying to surround us.¡±
Even though the forest was so deep that we couldn¡¯t see them, we could get a general idea.
The height and muscle mass of the opponents¡¡ quite slender, but toned¡ with bodies that can move quite well.
A mix of men and women?
I could also sense some magic power.
And¡..
¡°They have weapons¡ this shape¡¡ a bow. They also carry swords.¡±
¡ºWell, tis so.¡»
¡°Espie, yer¡ be ready to move at any moment.¡±
Maybe those Amazonesses from the other day?
Honestly, I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯d lose. But I don¡¯t feel like fighting.
Now, what to do ¡¡
¡º¡¡ Wait, child.¡»
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡ºSurely you sensed it as well. Not only women¡ men are also included.¡»
¡°Oh.¡±
¡ºThere are only women in the Amazoness unit.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
I realized that I had been careless when Tre¡¯ainar pointed this out to me.
Yes, all of Norja¡¯s subordinates were women.
The fact that there were men among them¡ means, it¡¯s something else¡ who, then?
¨D¨D¨DWhat brings you to this forest¡ you don¡¯t appear¡¡ to be sullied¡ humans¡
¡°¡±¡±!??¡±¡±¡±
¨D¨D¨DNot quite lost in the woods¡ with innocent children in tow, but¡
A slightly stern, scolding voice echoes through the forest.
A young man?
¨D¨D¨DErm, ahem. Ah~¡¡ this forest is our sanctuary. We won¡¯t tolerate defilement or destruction. Best to leave promptly. Or else, face the judgment of the forest¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Okay! I won¡¯t do anything unnecessary, so I¡¯ll leave soon. That¡¯s fine, right?¡±
¨D¨D¨DO, oh¡ is that so?
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right.¡±
¨D¨D¡¡ I, I see¡
For now, let¡¯s avoid any trouble.
Thinking so, I replied to the voice I heard, and the owner of the voice seemed a little taken aback.
¡°Are you sure, Big brother?¡±
¡°Like I said, let¡¯s leave¡¡±
If it was the Demon King Army, it would be a hassle, and even if it wasn¡¯t, I don¡¯t want to fight.
So, I took the two of them and left ¡
¨D¨D¨DNo, no, Chieftain! You¡¯d simply let them pass!
¨D¨D¨DI mean, they¡¯re leaving¡
¨D¨D¨DLike the dark elves of the Demon King Army we captured yesterday, they may be as dangerous!
¨D¨D¨DBut, they¡¯re human¡
¨D¨D¨DHumans cannot be trusted! Need I remind you of the organization that abducted and sold our kin!
¨D¨D¨DTh, these are children¡
¨D¨D¨DNo, the young ones aside, the man they¡¯re with has a really unsettling look in his eyes! He must be a viin! Maybe he¡¯s even kidnapped those two children!
¨D¨D¨DHis gaze¡ l, looks eerie¡ or rather, those three¡ are extraordinarily strong! First yesterday, why is this happening two days in a row¡
¨D¨D¨DWhy are you so afraid? Even so, you¡¯re our chieftain! You¡¯re strong! Let¡¯s bring down the hammer of forest justice! In fact, you¡¯re stronger than they are!
¨D¨D¨DNo, no, those who posture in righteousness and believe themselves to be right are often the worst offenders. I mean, no matter how you look at it, those three are much stronger. You see, a few days ago, the mountain¡¯s fire dragons were wailing and came rushing to us, but perhaps these individuals ¡ª
Huh? Is this a quarrel amongrades?
At first, it was a mysterious voice that echoed in the forest, but now it¡¯s just friends who are arguing with each other.
I mean, excuse the look in my eyes¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Viin? You mean Big brother!?¡±
¡°Brother¡ a viin?¡±
tte, Espie? yer?
¡°¡±I won¡¯t forgive anyone who speaks ill of (Big) Brother!!¡±¡±
And here, the two people who were usually quarreling agreed with each other.
Chapter 314: The Someones in the Forest
Chapter 314 ¨C The Someones in the Forest
If we can avoid unnecessary conflicts, so much the better.
¡°Unforgivable!¡±
¡°You need correction!¡±
And in the next moment, two little kids jumped out.
¡°Really, why are you guys jumping out? Stop!¡±
But, the kids don¡¯t suddenly stop.
Ah, this is bad¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°What¡¯s this? Children with such fierce countenances¡¡±
¡°Eeii, at the ready!¡±
¡°Innocent appearances¡ yet such ferocity¡ Humans are truly barbarians!¡±
The someones in the forest were armed, aiming at Espie and yer from a medium range.
Dangerous.
Not for those two.
¡°Come out! ¡¾Fluffy fishing¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeeh!!??¡±¡±¡±
Yes, it¡¯s the people who were in danger.
With this technique, she also caught fish that could not be seen at the bottom of the sea, and even rescued the residents of Ghenkan.
As long as they were within earshot, it didn¡¯t matter.
¡°Muh¡¡±
¡°This is¡¡±
Then, out of the bushes of the forest, people were lifted into the air.
Young men and women. Dressed in green, looking somewhat like hunters¡
¡°W, what in the world, all of a sudden!? What has that child done!¡±
¡°Is this¡ magic? Everyone, aim for that child¨C¡°
¡°Kaha?!¡±
I could also hear the voices of other people hiding behind this situation, but the next moment they stopped talking, as if they had lost consciousness.
¡°Why are you talking so loudly if you¡¯re hiding? Let alone against me, a Hunter¡ you¡¯re not very smart at all.¡±
Before I knew it, yer disappeared from before my eyes, and I could see him moving through the forest at high speed, attacking people one after another and knocking them unconscious.
¡°yer, it¡¯s cheating to beat up so many by yourself!¡±
¡°They insulted Brother¡ I couldn¡¯t hold back.¡±
¡°Hah!? He¡¯s my brother!¡±
¡°¡¡ He became my brother¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m cuter than you! Big brother patted me and gave me hugs!¡±
¡°I, I was also, patted¡ hugs are still ¡ no! When Norja attacked me, I was hugged when I was rescued! So it¡¯s even.¡±
¡°Muki! I was the only one who got hugged¡ by my strong and cool brother¡ he smiled at me too, and all the scary things and bad feelings were gone.¡±
¡°Ahh I know what you mean¡ reassuring and¡ warm.¡±
¡°Un! That! I know I know! That feeling like, whatever happens, there¡¯s nothing to worry about!¡±
¡°Mm-hmm. So, I have to work harder¡¡±
¡°I know, right! I¡¯ll work harder and get praised too~!¡±
See here. I don¡¯t know who they are, but this is how it goes.
¡°Hii, w, what?! What¡¯s happening?¡±
¡°Everyone is being attacked one after another!¡±
¡°What in the world are these two?¡±
You two, don¡¯t bicker while you¡¯re fighting. And now that you¡¯vee around, you guys are good friends.
¡°¡¡ Hmm? huh? ¡¡ I just realized¡ these guys¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ eh? Hey, Brother. These people¡¡±
At that moment, Espie and yer, who had been arguing, noticed something.
It¡¯s about the people.
I also took another look at the people that Espie had caught¡
¡°Ah¡¡±
And then I realized something.
¡°Ah~¡¡ enough¡¡ pulling weapons on children running in anger is more barbaric¡ and they got trounced¡ see, they stood no chance~¡¡ I mean, that girl is anomalous¡ psychokinesis¡ the boy, he¡¯s a prodigy¡ sigh~¡¡ the impossible is impossible¡¡±
Hmm?
¡°Muh¡¡±
At that moment, a man jumped down from the tree and appeared in front of us, sighing.
¡°Espie, stand back!¡±
At first nce, he seemed to have a different vibe than the others.
I don¡¯t sense much in the way of muscle mass or the magic power that seems to be inherent in him.
But something is different. It¡¯s a hunch.
Before I knew it, I was screaming¡ but¡¡
¡°Please spare us.¡±
¡°¡±Eh¡¡±¡±
He came out and immediately got down on his knees.
At that moment, the two people, who had not stopped even when I tried to stop them, finally stopped.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Chieftain!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
But, this was unexpected for us, and apparently it was also unexpected for this man¡¯spanions.
Amotion could be heard from within the forest.
¡°Really, we¡¯re mere reclusive hermits of the forest. Please don¡¯t torment us so. No, actually, we attacked you, so we apologize and will make amends with whatever offerings or treasures you desire! Really, we¡¯re so hard-headed andcking inmon sense, I¡¯m sorry that we¡¯re even more troublesome idiots who go beyond mere stupidity!!¡±
He was extremely submissive, begging for his life by rubbing his forehead on the ground, even though the other party was a child.
He seemed like such a pathetic man¡ and I didn¡¯t find it strange.
¡°¡¡ erm¡¡ then apologize for saying bad things about Big brother¡¡±
¡°Ah, I shall¡ I shall, indeed. No, we apologize for being a clueless and ipetent lot who can¡¯t even see the truth that, far from being kidnapped, you actually cherish him greatly.¡±
As expected, Espie was also flustered, and the momentary anger from earlier had faded.
And the man who looked up ¡
¡°Oh¡¡±
¡ºHoh~¡¡»
He wasn¡¯t human.
¡°Eh, Big brother, this person!¡±
His ck hair only covered one eye and the only visible eye was dark and shaded, giving him a somewhat rotten look.
Even though he has such a dark face, his whole body is dressed in a green-based nature-inspired outfit, so there¡¯s a gap, or rather, it doesn¡¯t suit him at all¡
But he¡¯s young. Maybe he doesn¡¯t look as old as me¡ no, elves are a long-lived species, so maybe his age doesn¡¯t match his appearance.
But, apart from that, the most eye-catching thing was that the man¡¯s ears were sharp and pointed.
¡°Demon¡?¡±
I subconsciously thought he might be a demon, but the atmosphere was somehow different.
Then, Tre¡¯ainar beside me ¡
¡ºNo, tis not so¡ he is an elf¡¡»
¡°Elf!¡±
Elf¡¡ I¡¯ve met dark elves before, but I¡¯ve never seen an elf before.
And the young men and women that Espie fished out of the forest earlier were also elves.
¡°It was an Elf after all¡ I was surprised too¡¡±
yer looked a little surprised when he returned.
Yes, that¡¯s how rare they were.
We often hearmon names like ¡°Sage of the Forest¡±, ¡°Wise Man¡±, and ¡°Fairy¡±, and we hear them quite often in stories.
Unlike the dark elves from the Demon Realm, the human side does not have such a bad image of them, but rather some admired and desired their beautiful appearance.
But, now their numbers have decreased considerably ¡ it seemed that they didn¡¯t participate in the Great War in the past¡ is such a groveling guy an elf?
¡°Chieftain, what are you doing?¡±
¡°Have you no pride in our noble Elven race?¡±
¡°So many of our kin have fallen, and you feel nothing!?¡±
But soon after, several elves sprang out from the trees and bushes.
With beautiful golden or silver dyed hair and androgynous appearances¡ in other words, the men are good-looking. The women are beautiful.
Ah, this was it.
These were the kind of elves that jumped out of a picture book.
¡°No, have I not just ensured that our pride doesn¡¯t turn into something absurd? Our foes were but children, were they not? They don¡¯t seem to be soldiers of the Demon King Army, nor one of those ¡®Bockmati¡¯ kidnappers I¡¯ve heard of¡ yet, to aim bows at a mere child¡ and so easily be bested¡¡±
¡°Even so, why should we, the venerable Elves, suddenly bow our heads in submission? Why do we lower ourselves to these lowly humans? And as the chieftain of our elven tribe, no less! How will you exin this to ¡®your betrothed¡¯!?¡±
¡°Ohe now, she did all that arbitrarily, didn¡¯t she? That arrogant and bothersome youngdy decided on her own to marry me, parading the news¡ it was her own doing, I say? If anything, they all want me to bow to them. I feel the need to protest and raise my voice about it now.¡±
¡°Protestation is excessive! Besides, if the youngdy heard that, we¡¯d be in trouble! In fact, we¡¯d all be in trouble, so please refrain!¡±
¡°Then, everyone, please listen to what I have to say at least. I believe, in the grand scheme of things, those who at least listen to someone¡¯s words, even if they¡¯re foolish, are more valuable than wise folk who don¡¯t. That¡¯s why, you know.¡±
Anyway, what¡¯s this situation?
The elves suddenly appeared, and were arguing with each other.
¡°¡What should I do, Big brother?¡±
¡°No¡ I¡¯m not particrly mad¡ for now, let¡¯s just get out of the way¡¡±
¡°If that¡¯s okay with Brother¡¡±
So, we left the ce and asked them to do their own thing¡
¡°Well, it¡¯s understandable that things are getting tense, what with the Seven Heroes, who are famous in the city, suffering a terrible defeat at the hands of Hakuki of the Demon King Army. The Allied forces are on the brink of annihtion, and the Hero Hiro is in critical condition¡ the situation is dire, so I get the anxiety¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±Huh!?¡±¡±¡±
At that moment, we involuntarily stopped in our tracks in response to the words muttered by the chieftain with a sigh.
¡º¡¡ hmm¡¡ tis so. Well, he did not perish in the end¡ moreover, he revived from the brink of death with an unreasonable power-up ¡ rather, unless you are Espie, is there a point of you being so flustered?¡»
¡°Ah, I see¡¡±
Tre¡¯ainar was right, it wasn¡¯t really surprising¡ no, I was surprised¡ but¡ my very existence proves that I don¡¯t need to worry about my father¡¯s life or death, so let¡¯s just¡
¡°In that case, Chieftain, you should be even more concerned! Regardless of how many humans perish, if the entire Surface World falls to the demonic hordes, we will¡¡±
¡°Fool, in a way, I¡¯m the most concerned about the situation on the Surface World among the elven tribes. If the humans are wiped out, my ie from the Destiny series I¡¯m writing would vanish. And my readers will also grieve.¡±
¡°Again with that! Such matters are unnecessary! Instead of going out of your way, even disguising yourself, to sell those things in the human world, you should¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
Immediately¡¡
¡ºWWWHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!???¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar was unusually upset and went crazy.
Chapter 315: Open Your Heart
Chapter 315 ¨C Open Your Heart
The legendary book series that even the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar loved to read¡ speaking of which, it¡¯s already outrageous. As for how outrageous it is, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s personality was so excited that it copsed to the point of disintegration.
¡ºCh, ch, child, j, ju, just now just now¡¡»
¡¸Y, yeah¡ I heard¡¡¹
The elves appeared before us. Among them was a man with a different aura, a man who was called Chieftain.
Tre¡¯ainar read it, and I was forced to read it too¡ it was interesting, but¡ the author of that book?
¡°¡¡ erm.¡±
¡°Ah, pardon me, what is it? No, I apologize for causing a bit of a stir! The conversation will end soon, so please, be patient¡¡±
¡°No¡ you¡¡ are you the author of the Destiny Series?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Ah, the Chieftain was stunned¡ but his face immediately started to blush¡
¡°Huh?! Oh, you, huh? Oh, my book, eh? Eeh? Why! Eeeeeeh!?¡±
This reaction¡¡ is it genuine?
¡ºD, durd! The original author of the novel was human, was he not?! H, how¡ they have been human all along¡¡»
It seems that even Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t know. In fact, I¡ In the future Imperial City, they¡¯re selling like crazy, bing a huge trend. And those cards with characters drawn on them, randomly included in the books. It¡¯s a devilish marketing tactic that made it not so umon for one person to buy multiple copies just to draw their favorite character, but¡ it¡¯s not a human, it¡¯s an elf¡?
¡°Uwaah, nononononooooooooooooooo!!¡±
But, such a great author sank to the floor, covering his face with his hands.
¡°Meeting readers in real life? Seriously, embarrassing! Ugh, stop, stop, stop!¡¡Don¡¯t be disappointed! Please don¡¯t think that the person creating those moving lines or aiming for such epic phrases is actually like this!¡±
¡°No, uh¡ sir?¡±
¡°Kyaaah, stop, stop, don¡¯t call me that! Please, never mention my pen name! Please, spare me in every aspect!¡±
¡°E, eh? Eeeeeeh!¡±
Eventually, he started rolling around with his head in his hands. Why? Even though he was able to create such interesting works, was he really that shy?
¡°Chieftain¡¡±
¡°Big brother, do you know him?¡±
¡°The Destiny Series¡ what¡¯s that?¡±
The other elves were stunned, and Espie and yer were tilting their heads.
Huh? Don¡¯t they know? Or is it still not famous in this era?
¡°Wait, hold on! No, that¡¯s odd!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Then the Chieftain suddenly stood up and approached me with a stern look.
¡°You¡¯re human, aren¡¯t you? How old are you?¡±
¡°¡¡ I¡¯m¡¡ 15 years old.¡±
¡°As I thought¡ my works contain erotic scenes, so 15-year-olds shouldn¡¯t be able to buy them in bookstores yet!¡±
Ah¡ now that I think about it¡¡
¡ºH, hmm, tis so. Humans were more concerned with the negative impact on children than freedom of expression, so the Destiny Series of this era had age restrictions¡¡»
That¡¯s right. The ones I bought were the all-ages versions that came out rtivelyter¡ so¡¡
¡°Hey, Big brother, what¡¯s going on? Desteni? Is it a book you like, Big brother? I want to read it too!¡±
¡°Brother, I¡¯m interested too.¡±
Yes, I obviously couldn¡¯t let these guys read it yet¡
¡°Did you really read my novel~?¡±
And then, the Chieftain red at me with doubt in his eyes.
It can¡¯t be helped. Even if I have to bear the stigma of being an erotic brat here¡
¡°Ahem¡ ah~¡¡ it seems that my friend¡¯s brother had a copy, and I read it through him¡ he¡¯s called Ouna Nyst¡ Ah~, it was the one about a female knight and a sorceress, but it¡¯s really good!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Especially the parting scene with the female knight¡¡±
¡°¡¡ myrade¡no, divine reader.¡±
¡°Feh?!¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
With a lie only at the beginning, I then became sincere. In fact, I thought it was interesting too, so I told him that. Then the Chieftain shook my hand with a straight face¡
¡°Indeed, indeed, so heartwarming. Indeed, indeed. It was quite an embarrassment, yet to have someone read my work and speak of it¡ ah, I¡¯ve erred, this is my first experience, and I¡¯m joyous and somewhat excited¡¡±
¡°Ha, haha¡ yeah, also from a junior¡¡±
¡°Mm-hmm mm-hmm, hmm!
Apparently, he was in a good mood.
Nodding with a smile of satisfaction on his face¡
¡ºNwaah, unfair! Tis so unfair, child. Grant me the chance to speak tooooo!¡»
¡¸Come now~, don¡¯t get excited!¡¹
¡ºI have a request, listen! I have a question I could not answer even after reading the sequel!¡»
¡¸Ah~, I get it, I get it.¡¹
And while I was having a good time with the chieftain, Tre¡¯ainar clung to me half crying.
While smiling wryly at Tre¡¯ainar who would forget himself for the sake of that book ¡
¡°In that scene, I didn¡¯t think it would turn out that way based on ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡¯s original personality, but what does that mean? Seems like a contradiction¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
But, when I asked Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s question, the Chieftain suddenly fell silent ¡
¡°¡¡ you needn¡¯t nitpick ¡ I myselfter realized it, yet it was beyond my control¡ Ah~, still it exists¡ striking at me in this manner¡¡±
¡°Oh, that, uh¡¡±
¡ºWh, ah, this is¡ Oi, child! Apologize on my behalf! No, I never intended to criticize, I just had a question¡ Ah~, child, that scene, that scene of ©–©–©–!¡»
¡°Ah, um, that¡¯s aside! I like the ©–©–©– scene too!¡±
¡°Huh!? Ooooh, that scene was crafted with great vigor by my own hands¡ Ooh, you favored that part!¡±
It seemed that I had touched something that I shouldn¡¯t have, and the chieftain, who was depressed at first, hurriedly followed up and regained his good mood.
I mean, Tre¡¯ainar was flustered and relieved, and as expected, he was excited in various ways¡
¡°That scene was a foreshadowing of what was toe, wasn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Oooooh, that you would discern my intentions¡ tears well up¡¡±
¡°Also, ¡ñ¡ñ and ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ are actually ¡ñ¡ñ¡¡±
¡°Indeed! I found that route more appealing!¡±
And before I knew it, the Chieftain seemed to have opened up to me ¡
¡°Um, Chieftain! What, why do you fraternize with humans ¨C¡°
¡°We¡¯re yet in conversation, be silent!¡±
¡°Oh, ha, eh¡¡±
¡°Ah, enough! Would that we could converse some more¡ converse more! Okay, everyone should return first! I¡¯ll linger here to engage him for a little while, and take the chance to camp here for the night.¡±
¡°Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!¡±
No, not only had he opened up to me¡ I don¡¯t think there were any racial barriers anymore¡
¡°Hold, Chieftain, what are you saying!?¡±
¡°After all, I can¡¯t extend them an invitation to the settlement¡ your reactions prove how the residents will receive them, and it¡¯ll be most discourteous and diforting¡ Therefore, I shall engage in discussion here alone, seek their pardon, and offer some treasure as an apology¡¡±
¡°Wh, what are you doing without permission? After all, leaving the Chieftain alone is inconceivable! What shall be said by thedy of the house¡¡±
¡°If indeed she speaks regardless, it matters not if I act or not. In truth, it might even be deemed a blessing not to return home.¡±
¡°No, no, no, no, but¡¡±
And once again, the elves are squabbling in a different direction than before.
As a result of the argument, we were invited on the promise that we were not suspicious people, much less kidnappers, and that we would not spread the word about the elven settlement outside.
Chapter 316: Embarrassing
Chapter 316 ¨C Embarrassing
A deep forest. An exhausting route that had to be taken through trackless paths.
It was probably a route that ordinary travelers who crossed mountains would never reach.
But, taking such a route that would normally be inessible¡
¡°Oh¡¡±
There was a small settlement of forest elves.
¡°An elven vige¡ oh, there are elves here and there¡¡ and little children too¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never seen that before.¡±
¡°Me neither, I can¡¯t believe it was in a ce like this¡¡±
It felt like I had wandered into a fairy tale world.
Young and beautiful-looking elves live modestly in the forest, in harmony with nature.
¡°Well, then, I invite you to my humble abode.¡±
¡°Y, yes¡ but it¡¯ste now, are you sure?¡±
But, we weren¡¯t really weed, or rather, they were being wary, and the anxious elves were ncing at us.
Apart from the Chieftain, I could sense that the other armed elves were also bracing themselves to move at any moment.
¡°Chieftain¡ is all well?¡±
¡°Yes, worry not, I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡±
¡°H, ha¡ Just call out immediately if you require aid, okay?¡±
¡°Sure sure.¡±
For the time being, we were invited to the chieftain¡¯s house.
Then the Chieftain smiled at us apologetically as he walked through the middle of the vige.
¡°No, I¡¯m really sorry¡¡±
¡°No, no, you don¡¯t have to apologize¡¡±
¡°These days especially¡ there are a few other elf settlements besides this one, but they have been attacked and kidnapped, so everyone is on guard¡¡±
Listening to the chieftain, I can¡¯t help but think that the residents¡¯ reaction is rather normal, or rather, I think the chieftain was the only one who has changed.
¡°The Bockmati family, huh? ¡¡ ¡°
¡°Indeed. They¡¯re renowned even among the human folk, aren¡¯t they? Weaving ndestine schemes within the shadows of the underworld, staining their hands with the trade and trafficking of souls¡ we hear whispers of their connections with the forces of Demon King Army, particrly with the elusive Hakuki.¡±
I remember the casino in Cantidan where I met Bro and fought with Toulowe and the others.
All those disgusting things were connected from this era¡
¡°In days recent, we shed with the Dark Elves of the Demon King Army¡ a lone warrior amongst them wreaked havoc upon us, engaging in a fierce battle that allowed the others to flee¡ though subdued and confined to a dungeon, the events have left an indelible mark upon our settlement.¡±
¡°¡¡ The Demon King Army¡¡±
Come to think of it, it was mentioned earlier in the quarrel between the chieftain and the other elves. I was surprised by a lot of things, so I let that story slide, but¡ a Dark Elf of the Demon King Army¡
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºHmm¡¡»
¡¸It could be one of Norja¡¯s subordinates.¡¹
¡º¡¡ Tis highly likely¡¡»
The dark elf woman who was in the skirmish with Norja and the others just the other day.
Thinking that it might be that woman, I arrived at a wooden house.
¡°Ah~¡¡ I dwell in a modest abode with my spouse¡ she has a certain difficulty in disposition, I confess, but I¡¯ll try to persuade her, so please wait a moment, if you will.¡±
¡°Ah, right¡¡±
And so much happened that I¡¯ve overlooked this topic, but this chieftain is a married man.
He looked about the same age as me, but how old is he really?
¡°She is the former chieftain¡¯s daughter¡ she¡¯s ill at ease in thepany of others, her demeanor ever so prickly, cool, blunt, and a vexing spirit to endure. Moreover, she has a great deal of pride¡ beneath it all, she¡¯s not malicious, despite the stern facade she presents¡¡±
¡°The former chieftain¡ Ah¡¡ and you¡¯re the current chieftain¡¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡ I¡¯m home, Yitea¡¡ I¡¯ve returned.¡±
Is your wife¡¯s name ¡°Yitea¡±?
She¡¯s prickly and prideful¡¡ is she like that¡ like Phianse?
The chieftain announced his return home in front of the door and slowly opened the door.
Then, there ¡
¡°Y-you¡¯re back! Ah-ahem¡nya¡nya~! Wee home, my dear! Y, yo, you came back sote, nya! I, i, it¡¯s sote, I turned into a pouty, pouty grumpy cat, nyah!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-!!??¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Wha?¡±
¡°Hah?¡±
A young woman with shoulder-length pink hair.
But, her face was redder than her pink hair, she had cat ears on her head for some reason, and was wearing a bra and panties that looked like they were made of fur¡ a cat¡¯s tail on the butt of the panties¡ a choker with a bell on it¡ ¡and even¡ gloves shaped like a cat¡¯s paw?
¡°W, we, we, wee¡ I want you to pamper me a lot today! I¡¯m going to spoil you so much! I¡¯m going to give you lots of kisses, and all the loving that I can, and if you don¡¯t let me, I¡¯m going to scratch you ?.¡±
She had a very cute appearance, and although she did not have a fine body with big boobs like Sadiz, she had a standard undting body, but she was still trying hard to look sexy with her beautiful appearance and pure body (?) unique to an Elf.
¡°M, my body burned with excitement when I was pouting ¡ th, th, th, th, thinking about my husband, I got so aroused¡ tightly, caressing ¡. then I, the bad cat, wo, would do whatever you asked, a, a little naughty or nice cat just for you~¡±
But now, rather than being captivated by her sexiness¡ I was overwhelmed with the thought, ¡®What is this?¡¯.
¡°Please, with the meal¡ until morning, e, eat me too¡ Nyan ? u, ugh~¡¡¡±
And then, with her face bright red, her hands shaped like a cat¡¯s¡ Nyan Nyan Pose? The woman, who had been standing still with her eyes closed, but eventually could no longer bear the silence and opened her eyes.
¡°S, say, do speak, won¡¯t you! I, I¡¯m merely expressing gratitude, for my husband has returned unharmed! I, it¡¯s not that I truly desire affection or any such sentiments, but it just happened¡ today coincided with the day of ovtion, and I thought it opportune, so don¡¯t misconstrue¡ alright¡ huh?¡±
Then, the woman, who had just swept up some embarrassing words all at once, noticed us behind the chieftain and froze again.
¡°¡¡ uwa¡¡ it¡¡ it¡¯s not¡¡±
Then the chieftain spoke up with a scowl on his face.
Yeah. What the heck? What an embarrassing woman!?
¡°¡I¡¯ll return shortly¡ sigh~¡¡¡±
And the chieftain closed the open door. Then he crouched down holding his head¡
¡°N, n, n, n, nnaaoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!¡±
And the woman¡¯s frantic voice echoed from inside the house.
¡°Chieftain, th, that cry just now!¡±
¡°It¡¯s the Miss¡ your wife¡¯s voice, isn¡¯t it!¡±
¡°Scoundrels, what mischief have you humans wrought already?¡±
As expected, the voice echoed through the vige, and the other elves immediately began to gather in a hurry.
¡°Please, I beseech you¡ there¡¯s nothing to concern yourself with¡ it¡¯s an affair confined within the walls of our house, so leave it be ¡ I mean, were this to beid bare, my wife would be consumed by a profound sense of shame ¡¡±
But, we weren¡¯t the ones doing anything¡ anyway, it took me a while for them to let us into the house.
Chapter 317: Hospitality
Chapter 317 ¨C Hospitality
¡°Say, what¡¯s the meaning of this, bringing guests home so abruptly? I, for one, was not informed of this arrangement. And to bring humans, no less¡¡±
In the living room, the female elf who had changed into ¡°normal clothes¡± was ring at us with a slightly stern expression as she sipped from a cup of tea.
¡°You¡¯ve grown rather presumptuous since you were adopted as a son-inw¡ do you consider yourself an absolute authority in your capacity as chieftain?¡±
¡°No¡.. it¡¯s not like that¡¡ but¡¡±
¡°Furthermore, to wee humans? For the proud Elves to extend a wee to those lowly beings¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
This is the chieftain¡¯s wife, Yitea.
But¡¡
¡°Hey, hey, what was that cat before?¡±
¡°Buh!?¡±
In response to Espie¡¯s innocent question, Yitea spurted her tea and mmed her head on the table.
¡°Ah~, Espie, that question is correct, but still wrong¡ just don¡¯t ask¡¡±
¡°?¡±
Espie had a scowl on her face as if she really didn¡¯t understand. yer, on the other hand, coolly drank the tea that was served and never touched the subject.
¡°Truly embarrassing¡ I apologize for the pitiful spectacle¡¡±
¡°Hold on, you!¡±
The chieftain also apologized for his wife¡¯s shameful behavior in a very exhausted manner. But, his wife was furious at those words.
She mmed the table with a bang.
¡°That, well¡ it¡¯s not like¡ I, I just thought I¡¯d do something for you once in a while that you might find pleasant!¡±
¡°Huh? Why would you think I would like something so cold and pitiful?¡±
¡°Be, because. There are a lot of cute girls in those novels that you always write in secret¡ I figured you¡¯d appreciate such a thing, so I thought I¡¯d indulge you!¡±
¡°Eh? I don¡¯t have any such characters. Besides, in the first ce, it¡¯s only effective because it¡¯s done by pure, innocent girls. If a calcting woman does it, it is little more than just cringe-worthy.¡±
¡°H, hah? What kind of talk is that? Ugh, you¡¯re so infuriating!¡±
What can I say, they¡¯re an odd couple¡ I mean, should we even be here in the first ce?
Then again, even the chieftain was saying some pretty harsh things too. The woman was shy and couldn¡¯t be honest, but was trying her best to get his attention, and he trampled on her Nyan Nyan strategy.
It¡¯s for a pure and innocent girl¡ huh¡ for example, in the case of Sadiz¡
¨D¨DFufufu, I won¡¯t forgive you if you don¡¯t treat me well today, nya, Little man ?
Hm~hmm¡¡ not bad¡¡ like a prank cat¡ well, but it certainly doesn¡¯t feel right¡
¨D¨DHoney ¡¡ No, My Lord. If you don¡¯t take care of this Shinobu cat, I¡¯ll start nyaaing you, okay?
Maybe Shinobu would do it if I asked her, but she¡¯ll be pushy¡ this doesn¡¯t seem right either.
I mean, when you say pure and innocent, it¡¯s Kron¡
¨D¨DNya~, Earth~, you haven¡¯t been giving me attentiontely, so I¡¯ve been so sulky~. Ufufufu, today I will be a cat and be spoiled by Earth ?
¡°Whoa!¡±
¡°Big brother?¡±
¡°Brother?¡±
¡º¡¡ Child¡¡ you spoke up¡¡»
Oh no, I couldn¡¯t help but get excited¡ it¡¯s sooo cute. No, I might have already hugged her in my imagination.
It¡¯s natural for Kron. Or rather, it¡¯s just like the chieftain said. As expected, he is a great writer.
And if I ask, Kron will probably do it without making a disgusted face¡ That would be dangerous¡ If that happens, I might not be able to control myself.
¨D¨DNya ~, Earth, licky licky nya nya~ ?
¡°Uooh¡¡±
¨D¨DBut Ms. Kitty Kron is really a bad girl¡ Master, please punish her¡
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. What kind of perverted things am I thinking in someone¡¯s house, and next to Espie and yer.
Ah~ but¡
¡°So¡ say, you there, human! Your expression has been strange for some time now¡ just what are you lot, anyway?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Ugh~¡¡¡±
¡°Ho, hold on, don¡¯t you just ignore me!¡±
¡°Whew!?¡±
¡°Are you listening!?¡±
Oh no. I was so caught up in my fantasy world that I didn¡¯t notice that the chieftain¡¯s wife was talking to me.
¡°Ah, y, yes. What is it?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Ah?¡±
¡°Buho¡±
¡¡ Ah¡ damn¡ I bit¡¡
¡°N, no, th, that was a mistake¡¡±
¡°Huh¡ Fufufufufu¡¡ it seems my husband has brought some rather ridiculous guests¡¡±
Her eyes were telling me to go die.
Moreover, the chieftain seems to be sullen and tired, and he is slumped on the table, trembling.
¡°Puku, kukuku, a, anyway, calm down ¡ Yitea ¡°
¡°So annoying! Why do you always do things without consulting me? Not only this time, but that Dark Elf as well. You suggested imprisoning her for observation instead of swiftly executing her, or erasing her memory and letting her go!¡±
¡°Eh~~~~? Even if I consulted you, you wouldn¡¯t listen¡¡±
¡°Huh? That¡¯s not true! If you were serious, I would listen¡ Besides, just what do you think of me!?¡±
¡°Hmm¡ I love you more than anyone else in the world¡±
It started again. And what a heartless ¡°I love you¡± from the chieftain.
¡°Oh, that, that, uh¡ then¡¡ it¡¯s not like¡ whatever¡¡ idiot¡¡±
Huh? Is it okay now? I don¡¯t know, I guess the chieftain is the chieftain, but his wife was also strange.
Maybe this was the form of a married couple, but¡
¡ºHuh¡ more than that, child ¡ that dark elf¡¡»
¡¸O, oh¡ that¡¯s right¡¡¹
And I should ask about something that¡¯s been bothering me there.
¡°Hey, Chieftain, I was a little curious, but that dark elf¡¡±
¡°Ah, from the Demon King Army, is it? Fear not. Their magic has been sealed and they were ced in a prison, so they won¡¯t be escaping on their own. As for their fate, it¡¯s being discussed¡ most mor for execution, but I¡¯m not entirely keen on that idea¡¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
I wonder if it¡¯s the dark elf I met in Ghenkan after all.
I didn¡¯t fight that much, and we didn¡¯t have any connection.
Maybe it¡¯s weird for me to say something about her treatment, but¡
¡°Anyway, I¡¯m going to wee them today to discuss my works! All through the night! I hope you¡¯ll bear with us, too.¡±
¡°Eh?! Hold, then¡ to, today¡ ovtion¡¡ copte?¡±
¡°No, huh? What are you saying in front of our guests¡ and children? That¡¯s just off-putting. Extremely off-putting. I¡¯m appalled ¡°
¡°~~~~~~ugh¡ idiot ¡¡ I don¡¯t care what happens anymore¡¡±
Oh my. That pout. I mean, the wife was bothersome, but at any rate, I knew that she really liked the chieftain.
The chieftain was also dense¡
¡°Really, see, you two,e over here.¡±
¡°?¡±
Then, the wife, who was sulking and trying to get to the back of the room, called Espie and yer.
¡°I can¡¯t have children staying upte¡ besides, there¡¯s a certain odor about you all. Haven¡¯t you been bathing much?¡±
¡°Huh? Bath¡¡ I wash in the river, but¡¡±
¡°Hold, that won¡¯t do! Come on! I¡¯ll heat up the water, so make sure to wash properly!¡±
¡°Bath? Bath! Yes, I¡¯m going to take a bath! Big brother¡¡±
¡°You guys go in first.¡±
¡°Huh? I¡¯m fine!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be shy. Come on,e in with me.¡±
¡°I¡¯m a boy!¡±
¡°Huh? So what?¡±
Surprisingly, it seems like she¡¯s trying to get the two of them to take a bath.
She looked like a nagging, troublesome woman before, but now she couldn¡¯t help but look like a nagging, caring mother.
¡°I, I mean, it¡¯s not like we want our home to get dirty or smelly. Don¡¯t get any strange ideas!¡±
It seems like the fact that she wasn¡¯t being honest hasn¡¯t changed¡
¡°Hahaha¡ I¡¯ve done something awful to the chieftain¡¯s wife, haven¡¯t I?¡±
¡°No, no, not really¡¡±
¡°But¡ you¡¯re kind, aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, you said something about divorce, but I¡¯m sure you¡¯re not that upset with her either¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t help butugh when I saw the chieftain¡¯s wife forcibly leading Espie and yer to the back of the house.
And the chieftain didn¡¯t particrly deny my words¡
¡°It¡¯s an unwanted marriage, and frankly, I¡¯d like to travel the world looking for material for my novel. However¡ I can¡¯t deny that her presence concerns me enough that I can¡¯t just leave her behind in the current situation.¡±
Oh no. It¡¯s another confusing roundabout way of saying it¡
¡°Even the chief is troublesome.¡±
¡°People are troublesome just by being alive, so being bothered is more like the standard state of affairs.¡±
¡°Hm~hmm¡¡±
¡°W, why are you grinning¡¡±
¡°No reason~¡±
Somehow, I felt like these two were so weird together, but I also thought they were just perfect together.
¡°You¡¯re 15, right? For humans, 15 years of age is all about adolescence, budding romances, and creating cringe-worthy memories¡ don¡¯t you have any of that, young man?¡±
¡°Me? I¡¡±
The chieftain asked me as if nning on a counterattack.
And the chieftain¡¯s question was so familiar that I couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Sure¡ even in love¡ and the painful ck history rted to it¡ I might have some piled up¡¡±
¡°¡ Really¡¡ I have no particr intention of digging up other people¡¯s love stories, so you needn¡¯t say it. I heard an extremely intense one not too long ago¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Then, instead of pursuing me deeply, the chieftain started holding his head as if he remembered something.
What the heck is going on¡
¡°No, as I said earlier, that captured Dark Elf¡ hers is intense¡ seeking revenge on humans to avenge a childhood friend and first love who died¡ I mean, it might not be directly relevant to you, but¡¡±
¡°Hmm¡ that kind of thing¡ well¡¡ something like that happens when you¡¯re fighting a war¡ but it¡¯s certainly heavy¡¡±
I think it¡¯s heavy, for sure. But I tried not to think too deeply about it.
There are plenty of such stories in this world of this age.
From the human side, there must be people who feel the same way, and there are even humans who have been killed by the dark elves.
That¡¯s why I don¡¯t have anything to do with it¡ so I thought¡
¡°Right, so let¡¯s steer clear of heavy stories. Now,e to my room! Actually, I have some future plot ideas, and maybe I can hear some opinions¡¡±
¡°Oh~¡±
¡ºNuooooooooooooooooh, is that sooo!?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar was also enjoying himself for the first time in a long time, and I tried not to think too much about the dark elf at the time.
But I didn¡¯t realize it then.
For me, that dark elf was not someone I can say, ¡°nothing to do with me, it doesn¡¯t matter¡±.
Chapter 318: Breakfast
Chapter 318 ¨C Breakfast
I talked to the Chieftain all night.
Tre¡¯ainar got super excited and had me speak on his behalf about various things, and the Chieftain got into it, too, so I went pale when I noticed that it was getting light outside.
I waspletely cked out from that point on, but right after that, I was suddenly woken up.
¡°Hey! It¡¯s me, Espie. Brother, get up!¡±
¡°Guh!?¡±
¡°Ehehe~, Big~ brother ¡ Gyu~~~¡±
Suddenly, I felt a shock to my stomach. This is¡
¡°Espie, what are you doing? Really¡ Brother, it¡¯s morning¡ time to get up.¡±
And then I got shaken.
Hey, I only slept for a moment¡
¡°Say, partake of your breakfast promptly. I, as the chieftain¡¯s wife, have personally prepared it for the likes of humans. Show some gratitude and consume it without reserve. I will not allow any remnants to be left uneaten.¡±
After Espie and yer, the wife was grandly banging a frying pan anddle, and I woke up rubbing my sleepy eyes, greeted by a delicious aroma that whetted my appetite.
I walked out of the room to find bacon and eggs, sd, and soupid out for us on the dining room table.
¡°Good morning, Big brother!¡±
¡°Good morning, brother.¡±
¡°Oh, did you sleep well?¡±
¡°¡±Yes, but yer (Espie) is a poor sleeper¡ Hmmm.¡±¡±
Unlike me, they took a bathst night, and slept soundly in a house with a roof for the first time in a long time, so they both looked very refreshed¡ but suddenly they looked grumpy. Don¡¯t stare at each other.
¡°It was yer who was a bad sleeper! Because when I woke up in the morning, yer¡¯s feet were in front of my face!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about¡. you just tossed and turned over a lot and ended up upside down. I slept with good posture.¡±
¡°Uuun! It¡¯s yer
¡°No, it¡¯s you!¡±
I mean, you guys slept in the same bedst night¡ I wonder if you¡¯re getting along or not¡ well, you¡¯re going to get married¡
¡°Say, cease your mor during breakfast. Now give your thanks properly! I toiled with care while making it, I¡¯ll have you know! Tarry not, it¡¯ll get cold otherwise!¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
¡°Ouch¡ why me¡¡±
Then, the grumpy tapped them lightly on the head while getting angry.
For some reason, they both held their heads, but they didn¡¯t raise their voices anymore, and it seems that the wife has be quite formidable overnight.
¡°Look, the bread is baked.¡±
¡°Wow! Big brother, look look, bread! Mrs. Yitea baked it this morning, right? It looks so delicious!¡±
¡°Say, d, don¡¯t make it sound like I harbor intentions of conveying an air of heightened morning fervor. It¡¯s merely an attempt to knead away the vexations that have clung to my spirit since the eve, is all!¡±
Freshly baked, hot bread.
I had been away from this kind of home-cooked breakfast for so long while camping, so it was a refreshing experience for me.
Espie seemed happy, and yer was trying to act cool, but he didn¡¯t seem to be in a bad mood.
¡°Ah~, I tire¡ Hmm? Ah~, I feel invigorated ~ ¡°
¡°Hey, you!¡±
¡°He~~~~¡±
¡°W, withhold your mirth! Don¡¯t say things that insinuate I am usuallyckadaisical! You, too, take a seat and properly give thanks for the meal!¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
From the words of the Chieftain who just woke up, it seemed that his wife was really into it after all.
Somehow, she¡¯s not being honest in many ways¡ huh?
¡°Huh, ¡®your¡¯ portions.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
At that moment, we couldn¡¯t believe our eyes.
The breakfast that was served before the chieftain. Bread. With sd and soup.
His didn¡¯t have bacon or sausages like ours did.
Rather, the portions¡
¡°Eh, Chieftain¡¡±
¡°Is that enough to fill you up?¡±
His was less than ours. When I thought about it, both the Chieftain and his wifeughed bitterly, and said, ¡°Oh¡± ¡
¡°Oh, I¡¯m a herbivorous elf. I don¡¯t eat meat.¡±
¡°Heh¡¡±
I never thought someone could live on just vegetables and no meat¡ so maybe that¡¯s why his waistline was so thin¡
¡º¡¡¡¡¡»
Hmm? I¡¯m not sure what it is,¡¡ but Tre¡¯ainar, who was so fussyst night and made me speak for him in a lot of ways, looked a little displeased.
What is it? Is there something bothering you about the current situation¡
¡°Mr. Chieftain, you won¡¯t grow big if you¡¯re picky, you know?¡±
¡°No, eating what you dislike doesn¡¯t cause a sudden surge in stature. And the limits of one¡¯s potential are set in stone. In the first ce, the magnitude of one¡¯s frame is meaningless except for those steeped in a life battle. Thus, I conclude that eating only what delights the pte leads to a richer life.¡±
¡°Un~? ¡¡ I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying¡¡±
¡°You needn¡¯t ask, Espie. This one is a vexing soul that weaves convoluted arguments with a twisted disposition. Pay him no mind.¡±
¡°¡¡ And yet, you married him¡¡±
¡°Hey, yer! True, I consented to the union! But I conceded to the marriage begrudgingly, so let there be no misconceptions on that ord!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you marry him because you liked him?¡±
¡°Su, su, ah, ah, so¡ erm¡¡ W, well, it¡¯s not like, um, it¡¯s because I, um, like him or anything so simple¡ m, marriage is not something that can be based solely on that, after all! There are various considerations! Perhaps notprehensible to a child, though!¡±
But by this time, Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s situation quickly faded from my mind, and we had been talking all morning.
¡°Un~¡¡ I don¡¯t get it¡ do you understand, Big brother?¡±
¡°Buhu, m, me?¡±
And to think that she would dump it on me here¡ I was so surprised and spewed out my tea.
I¡¯m not sure how I feel about this, but Espie asked me an innocent question.
To which I replied¡
¡°W, well, you see¡ that¡¯s the thing. Marriage is not about bing lovers, it¡¯s about bing a family¡ Ah~¡¡ it¡¯s not just about each other¡¯s feelings¡ for example, you have to be approved by each other¡¯s family ¡ or get their blessing¡¡±
No, I don¡¯t get it either. Tre¡¯ainar also looked stunned¡ Hmm? I¡¯m thinking and speaking on my own right now, but I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve heard that somewhere¡ Ah¡ Now that I think about it¡¡
¡°Hm~hmm¡ is that right.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t really understand, but Big brother is an adult after all.¡±
¡°Heh, I heard you¡¯re still around fifteen, but you seem quite discerning.¡±
¡°I initially assumed you were a delinquent, but you¡¯re surprisingly pure¡ I suppose your upbringing was decent or something?¡±
They seemed impressed, but Espie¡ yer¡¡ Ah~, I see¡ they¡¯ve been listening to my words all this time¡ for years¡
¡°Chieftaaaaaain, grave tidings, chieftain!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
And that¡¯s when it happened. At this early hour of the morning, I heard a loud voice outside the house.
While tilting his head, wondering what was going on, the Chieftain got up from his seat, opened the window, and looked outside.
Then, the young elves who had tried to attack us yesterday, armed with weapons, had a drastic change in their expressions¡
¡°The fire dragons that rushed in recently¡ they have returned!¡±
¡°Eh, again?¡±
¡°Moreover, they bear grievous injuries! Swiftly attend to them. It seems they¡¯re trying to convey something, but we cannot discern it¡ Juste quickly! There may be some cmity afoot!¡±
Fire dragons? That¡¯s¡¡
¡°¡±¡±Ah¡¡¡±¡±¡±
The ones we beat back the other day¡?
¡°No, it¡¯s likely not your doing.¡±
¡°Chieftain?¡±
¡°A few days ago, when the fire dragons came rushing in, weeping¡ it was probably because of you¡ but now, if they have rushed in once more, then it is likely not you, but rather another¡ ah~¡¡ such a bother¡¡±
After saying that, the Chieftain put a piece of bread in his mouth and went outside.
It wasn¡¯t us?
Geez¡ what¡¯s going to happen this morning?
Chapter 319: Translation
Chapter 319 ¨C Trantion
It looked like something troublesome was about to happen.
After having a delicious breakfast, we headed outside.
Then, I was surprised by the scene that unfolded there.
¡°Whoa¡¡±
The reports that wounded fire dragons had rushed in¡ it was just as they said.
¡°Wow¡¡±
¡°This is very unusual¡¡±
The dragons we encountered in the mountains attacked us with ws and fangs bared, no questions asked.
There were five dragons in front of us, but they had painful wounds etched all over their bodies.
For the moment, they seemed to be calmly receiving treatment from the elves¡¯ healing magic and medicine.
¡°I had no idea¡ Do dragons and elves get along?¡±
The wounded dragons rushed here and were calmly being treated.
In addition¡¡
¡°¡¡ What? By such formidable foes? Just the other day, our territory was encroached upon by humans, and I deemed it necessary to retaliate lest we be seen as weak¡ Hah~¡¡±
¡°Gru¡ Gal, Gaa.¡±
¡°For that, you sought a counterattack? What of the rest of the group¡ fled ¡ or felled ¡ truly now~¡±
The chieftain seemed to be talking to the dragon, which was whimpering somewhat weakly.
Are they having a conversation?
Come to think of it, the elves who came to call the chieftain also asked him to talk to them¡
¡°Hey, ma¡¯am. What¡¯s happening?¡±
For now, I asked his wife so as not to interrupt him ¡
¡°Uh-huh, that one possesses the ability to converse with beasts and monsters.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°The reason is unclear, but¡ with this gift, the creatures dwelling in these woods, whether beasts, monsters, or dragons, are afforded somemunion¡¡±
He can talk to animals? The chieftain? Aren¡¯t you casually saying something amazing?
Then, Tre¡¯ainar, who was beside me ¡
¡ºI see¡ he is a tamer¡¡»
¡¸Tamer?¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm, those who canmunicate with animals and monsters and make them obey¡ in other words, they are in a perpetual state of mutual understanding, akin tomanding murmurs, it seems¡¡»
¡¸Oh, really¡¡¹
It¡¯s the ancient forbidden trantion spell that Tre¡¯ainar had mentioned a few months ago.
¡¸Huh? But what do you mean by perpetual? Isn¡¯t it magic?¡¹
¡ºMm-hmm. It does not appear to be. In other words, tis not magic, but a natural constitution. That ancient forbidden spell was originally developed based on the constitution of such people.¡»
¡¸Oh, is that so? I mean, are there people who are born with such abilities?¡¹
¡ºTis certainly rare, but not non-existent. Even before this era, there were a fair number of tamers who could subdue monsters. You see, the picture book that was in the back of your closet¡ the legendary swordsman, Peach Boy, who was also the natural enemy of the Ogres and was born from a peach¡ he was a tamer with such constitution as well.¡»
¡¸Heh¡¡¹
Come to think of it, before I ran away from home, I was told the truth about those picture books.
Still, I had no idea that the chieftain had that kind of ability.
Could that be why he didn¡¯t eat meat for breakfast¡
¡°Geeeeeeeeehh The ones who attacked you¡¡ Ogres of the Demon King Army! A hundred in number!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeh!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Ha~¡¡ scouring the mountains for Elves¡ Ah~, those entangled with the Bockmati, I presume¡ this is vexing¡¡±
At that moment, the surprised voice of the chieftain, who was listening to the injured dragon, echoed.
The Demon King Army? Ogre? Bockmati?
So that¡¯s how it came to be¡
¡°Th, the Demon King Army!? The Demon King Army, you say?
¡°A, and¡ what¡¯s more, the Ogres!?¡±
¡°What foul happenstance is this? Such beings lurking in our vicinity!?¡±
¡°Is it true, Chieftain?¡±
The Ogres of the Demon King Army. The elves in the vige were shaken by the shocking fact, and their faces turned pale.
I¡¯m also sensing them nearby. Just the other day, it was the Amazonesses¡
¡°Wh, what shall we do? Should they find this ce ¡¡?¡±
¡°Fool, do not falter. Even during this time, we subdued the Dark Elf of the Demon King Army¡¡±
¡°But, the Ogres¡ the mightiest force of the Demon King Army, and furthermore, savage and cruel¡¡±
¡°To think such beings¡ a hundred of them!?¡±
¡°No, on the contrary, there are a mere hundred¡ instead of hiding, why not exploit the terrain and assail them from our vantage?¡±
¡°But should we lose, it¡¯s naught but death awaiting us! The women, especially¡ can scarce imagine the torment they¡¯d endure¡¡±
The upset elves were quick to voice their opinions.
Young people said they should take up arms and fight, while women, children and old people who couldn¡¯t fight were anxiously frightened.
¡°That¡¯s¡ Until now, we did face marauding abductors in the woods, but¡ Still, we managed to ovee them. But this time, Ogres¡ this is an unforeseen predicament¡¡±
The same was true of that strong-willed wife.
That¡¯s how different the ogre race is from other races¡ I guess that¡¯s what it means.
¡°Ogres¡ I haven¡¯t fought one yet.¡±
¡°Me neither.¡±
Even Espie and yer don¡¯t seem to have anybat experience against ogres yet, so they didn¡¯t quite get the point right away.
On the other hand, I¡
¡ºChild. Ask the chieftain about the characteristics of the one who leads the ogres hunting in the mountains.¡»
¡¸Hmm? Oh, yes, okay.¡¹
Then Tre¡¯ainar spoke to me. I asked the chieftain the question directly.
¡°Hey, Chieftain.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Can you ask him about the one who is leading the ogres currently hunting in the mountains?¡±
¡°O, of course. So, regarding those Ogres¡ yes, the one that seemed most imposing¡ huh. Uh-huh¡¡. a blue demon? One horn?¡±
It¡¯s like a game of messages from Tre¡¯ainar to me, from me to the chieftain, and from the chieftain to the dragon¡¡.
¡ºBlue¡ one horned¡¡ 100 strong ¡¡ I see. An Independent Detachment ¡ tis the Aonii Corps.¡»
Apparently, Tre¡¯ainar understood.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar, do you know?¡¹
¡ºYes, I do. In the Hakuki Army, which boasts tens of thousands of troops, there are a hundred demons that he trusts¡ the Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred ¡ Among them is Aonii, who is recognized as one of the top ten in terms of ability¡ therefore, Hakuki granted him the authority to act on his own initiative to some extent in the war¡¡»
¡¸Ha~¡¡ I didn¡¯t know ¡¡ such a title existed.¡¹
¡º¡¡ And, I see¡a lot of things¡ are starting to make sense¡¡»
¡¸?¡¹
To be honest, I don¡¯t really know about the strong people of this era unless they are in the Six Supremacy and Seven Heroes ss, but just because Tre¡¯ainar knew him, I can tell that he is a strong person in his own right.
Just¡¡
¡ºIn any case¡¡»
¡¸Hmm?¡¹
¡ºJust recently, you fought with the Six Supremacy, Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, Norja¡ during this stage, one or two subordinates of the Six Supremacy¡ currently, they will not be worthy opponents for you.¡»
Not opponents to me. I couldn¡¯t help butugh at Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s evaluation.
¡¸Hohou¡ you¡¯re giving me a lot of praise, aren¡¯t you?¡¹
¡ºTis nopliment, I merely stated the facts. However, tis not just strength that matters¡ what will you do? Child?¡»
¡¸Huh? What will I do¡ right¡¡ that¡¯s¡¡¹
Apparently, Tre¡¯ainar saw through me.
I don¡¯t feel like acting.
I don¡¯t know what to do this time¡ no, I don¡¯t even think about it.
Simply¡¡
¡°Ogres¡ huh¡¡±
When I heard the name of that race, I couldn¡¯t help but think of that person who was kinder than anyone else.
Chapter 320: The Ugly People
Chapter 320 ¨C The Ugly People
¡°Let us flee.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Our homnd forsaken, what madness is this!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡¡ Hah~¡¡±
Even as Tre¡¯ainar and I were talking, the elves were discussing what to do, but the chieftain¡¯s suggestion to ¡°run away¡± was unanimously rejected.
¡°It¡¯s justnd, we can relocate.¡±
¡°What nonsense are you spouting? This is where we were born and where we shall beid to rest. To allow it be defiled by those filthy, inferior races is unthinkable! Rather than abandoning this ce, death would be preferable! That is the pride of the Elves!¡±
¡°Foolishness¡hah~¡protecting thend¡ territorial disputes¡ in the end, humans, demons, and elves¡people are all the same¡¡±
The chieftain, who waspletely rejected by his wife, sighed and shrugged his shoulders as if somewhat dismayed.
And the elves, who were upset because they didn¡¯t know what to do, now seemed to be united by the wife¡¯s remarks and raised their hands in the air while their faces were tense.
¡°Yes, we must defend thisnd!¡±
¡°Show them the pride of the Elves!¡±
¡°The Gods bless us!¡±
¡°Right, flee¡ I would rather die!¡±
Voices rose one after another. Maybe it¡¯s a voice unique to this war-torn world, but I can¡¯t quite understand it, and I can¡¯t agree with it.
But, it would be weird for me to deny that idea, so I can¡¯t say anything.
Just¡¡
¡°Dear, seek cooperation from the monsters of the forest!¡±
¡°Even if I ask¡ these fire dragons are the mightiest we have, right? Even if we rely on other carnivorous beasts, when facing Ogres¡¡±
¡°Nheless! We must bolster our forces however we can!¡±
It seems like the chieftain thinks it¡¯s weird too. He looked at his wife and the other elves with great pity.
¡°That¡¯s right, the Dark Elf from before¡ that one is part of the Demon King Army, right? Can¡¯t we use her as a hostage to intimidate the Ogres?¡±
¡°Ah. Moreover, she might possess information about the Ogres. Very well, fetch her immediately and extract every bit of knowledge she holds!¡±
¡°Agreed, swiftly now!¡±
In the midst of all this, there are even radical opinions in the fight.
¡°As I said, cease this¡ hostages, torture¡ pride? It really makes meugh¡ in the current state, everyone is turning grotesquely foolish.¡±
¡°Chieftain! At a time like this, we needn¡¯t be troubled by your usual contrarian views! While the innovations and perspectives you propose may bring about new developments and realizations for us, now is the time for unity!¡±
¡°You people are the ones in need of awareness. So hard-headed and narrow-minded¡ ying around with words like ¡®life¡¯ and ¡®pride¡¯¡¡±
Apparently, only the chieftain seemed to have a different way of thinking than the other elves in this, and he didn¡¯t seem to agree with the idea of fighting no matter what.
But, despite his position as the chieftain, he seemed unable to convince the other elves of his opinion.
¡ºWell¡ what will you do? Child!¡»
Now, what should I do here?
Ever since I arrived in this era, I¡¯ve tried not to interfere too much in the war of this era or in the battles with the Demon King Army¡ I should have been able to, but I kept failing at it¡ in any case, what to do now?
More than anything, I¡¯m reluctant to fight the Ogres, but¡ it¡¯s not a situation where you can just say that.
¡¸It doesn¡¯t matter, it has nothing to do with us, so just leave the elves alone and run away¡ I can¡¯t do that.¡¹
I don¡¯t feel like it, and I don¡¯t want to fight the Demon King Army as much as possible.
But, there was no need to think about this situation.
¡ºThe elves here aside¡ should anything happen to the Chieftain. In a decade or so, when a certain Great Demon King bes a ghost ¡ will he not grieve over such loss of culture?¡»
¡¸¡¡ huh¡ I see¡¡¹
Those novels made me realize that the Great Demon King has many different sides to his existence¡ in a way, it¡¯s something that I have a lot of attachment to.
Above all, I got along well with the chieftain and his wife, they fed me, and took care of my younger sister and brother as well.
¡°Hey hey, Big brother¡ the Demon King Army¡ they¡¯re annoying. But¡¡ Mrs. Yitea and the others are in danger¡¡±
¡°Either way ¡ I¡¯ll follow Brother.¡±
These two don¡¯t seem to have a problem.
There¡¯s no other choice since it¡¯se to this.
¡°Fiiine! Maybe we will help too.¡±
¡°Un.¡±
¡°If Brother says so¡¡±
¡ºThat being the case, the Ogres may prove more formidable foes than anticipated¡¡»
Yes, I can only think that if this happens, no matter what the elves think, what the chieftain thinks, and what the ogres that areing do, it will all work out somehow.
And then¡¡
¡°Chieftain, I¡¯ve brought the dark elf woman!¡±
The young elves brought the restrained dark elf, surrounding her with weapons.
¡°Ah¡hey, Big brother.¡±
¡°Brother, that person¡¡±
Espie and yer seemed to have realized, too.
No doubt.
It¡¯s her.
¡°Hmm¡ I was wondering what¡¯s been going on since this morning¡ I thought it would be an immediate execution¡ but it looks like something funny has happened.¡±
The dark elf was bound by rope with both hands shackled, but had a fearless smile on her face.
If I remember correctly¡ Larou¡¯iph¡¡ was it? She was a subordinate of Norja and was known as the Ebony so-and-so.
¡°Silence, lowly dark elf! Speak not, and answer our questions!¡±
¡°Tell us about the ogres who havee to this mountain! What are their weaknesses?¡±
¡°Disclose all that you know!¡±
Just like the chieftain said, the beautiful-looking elves turned ugly and hurled harsh words.
But Larou¡¯iph waspletely unfazed by the situation. On the contrary, she snorted at the elves.
¡°Well, I don¡¯t know which unit it is. In the first ce, I didn¡¯t even know that the Ogre squad hade to this mountain. Even though it¡¯s the same Demon King Army, I don¡¯t know that much about the movements of other armies¡¡±
¡°What do you mean? Didn¡¯t theye to your aid?¡±
¡°Pfft¡ as if they¡¯d do such a kind-hearted thing. I don¡¯t know. But I¡¯ll tell you this. The Ogres being here means you are dealing with a rabid and brutal force under General Hakuki, the strongest and most fearsome General in the Demon King Army! You and your kind will not stand a chance! It¡¯ll be a massacre¡¡ women and children will mercilessly be raped and tortured, giving pains worse than death. You get it¡¡ they¡¯re devilish beasts with no shred of kindness or mercy! ¡¡ that¡¯s right¡¡ unlike that person¡¡±
This wasn¡¯t a threat, but a fact that Larou¡¯iph spoke out loud.
¡°¡¡ it looks like a blue demon with one horn¡¡±
¡°Blue¡? Hahahahaha, Aonii¡ I see ¡ even I know him very well¡ you are no match for him.¡±
At these words, the elves who had been up in arms just a few minutes ago also turned pale again.
On the other hand, for a brief moment, I felt that the Larou¡¯iph showed a somewhat sad, heartrending expression, which bothered me a little.
But, that expression quickly changed, and Larou¡¯iph again spoke in a strong tone ¡
¡°You naive elves! If you want to survive, you should bow to the humans to bring out the Seven Heroes! Well, I don¡¯t think you can do that!¡±
And at the same time as the words ¡
¡°Ahem!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
My younger sister stepped forward, hands on her hips, and a smug look on her face.
¡°¡¡ Hohe?¡±
And that Larou¡¯iph also stiffened with an idiotic look on her face.
¡°¡¡ Huh¡? ¡¡ E, Espie of the Seven Heroes? Why are you here!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡ huh? Seven Heroes!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Well, we¡¯ve been through a lot ourselves.¡±
¡°Y, you too!? The Genius Hunter¡ yer!?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
Yes, Larou¡¯iph didn¡¯t even realize we were here, or rather it waspletely unexpected.
The elves seemed to know only the title of the Seven Heroes, and froze with their mouths agape.
¡°Huh? Espie and yer ¡ eh?¡±
¡°Huh¡ to hold such titles¡¡±
Both the chieftain and his wife were surprised.
And¡..
¡°What do you think? If we were here, the naive elves would be able to do something about it, right?¡±
¡°Y, you¡ eh!¡±
Finally, I also appeared in front of Larou¡¯iph.
Then she looked at me and said¡
¡°B, bastard¡ you are the one who shoved that big, thick, outrageous thing up Lady Norja¡¯s buttock!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s true, buuuut, it happened, buuuuut.¡±
How unreasonable.
At Larou¡¯iph¡¯s remark, the other elves pulled their expression all at once, and distanced themselves from me.
¡°If I recall correctly¡. Norja is among the Six Supremacy of the Demon King Army¡ I need to familiarize myself with the details, but I believe she was referred to as the Damsel Commander? Huh? Meaning a little girl¡and her buttocks? Big and thick¡¡Huh? Young man?¡±
¡°Chieftain, don¡¯t take that at face value! No, don¡¯t be fooled by the title! She¡¯s a ridiculously huge monster¡ Besides, what I shoved in was a spiral! A spiral! Like a drill! And in a sense, it was an ident ¡ I mean, people, don¡¯t look at me like that!¡±
The eyes of everyone looked like they beheld an ugly beast.
Chapter 321: Can’t Escape
Chapter 321 ¨C Can¡¯t Escape
¡°By the Gods¡ even I, who is not well-versed in matters of the outside world, know the names of the Six Supremacy and the Seven Heroes¡ Espie ¡¡ you are one of the Seven Heroes?¡±
¡°Un! That¡¯s why I¡¯m going to beat up the Ogres a bit!¡±
Espie dered proudly and confidently.
¡°Well, that¡¯s right. And now it¡¯s not just Espie, but also me and yer are here. I¡¯ll lend you a hand.¡±
¡°Ogres¡ it will be a good experience.¡±
And we¡¯re here too, so there was nothing to worry about.
A smile shed across the faces of the elves, who were surprised by Espie¡¯s title of the Seven Heroes, but soon they all looked puzzled.
¡°W, wait, humans¡ what is it you want?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
At that moment, one of the elves asked, as if trying to gauge our expressions.
What do we want?
¡°I doubt a covetous human would act without rpense. What do you desire? Wealth, perhaps? Or¡ women?¡±
¡°N, no, what¡¡±
¡°Wait! Come to think of it, you mentioned doing something obscene to a young female warrior ¡ and even now, you¡¯re apanied by such a child¡ you¡¡ could it be that your tastes are as such¡ that you seek elven maidens¡ eh! You beast!¡±
¡°Wait, wait, wait, wait, why is this happening!? You took care of us overnight, don¡¯t take it too seriously. I mean, I don¡¯t have a dangerous hobby! I like decent women! I mean, it¡¯s you guys who are all sorts of savages!¡±
¡°Wh, what. You!¡±
They seemed to have doubts about us doing something for free, and because of that, they got some kind of weird suspicion.
And then¡¡
¡°Well, that might be the case¡ leaving aside the true nature of his hobbies and interests¡ this young man¡ truly isn¡¯t seeking anything in return.¡±
¡°Chieftain!?¡±
¡°There are all sorts of humans¡ it might be difficult toprehend for those who only know the Bockmati, but¡ I suppose people like this young man are a minority.¡±
Apparently, the Chieftain was the only one who didn¡¯t doubt me.
But, the elves were puzzled by the Chieftain¡¯s words.
On the other hand ¡
¡°But still~¡¡ be that as it may¡. I do feel a bit awkward~¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Perhaps, with the help of the young man and hispanions¡ we can really prevail over the Ogres¡ but¡¡ even so, I wonder if anything will really change¡¡±
The surprising words of the Chieftain. I didn¡¯t know what that meant.
¡°The enemy is of notable repute¡ even if driven away, even if yed, stronger foes may emerge afterward¡ a powerful force from the ranks of the Demon King Army. One of the Six Supremacy, or perchance the Great Demon King himself, might descend upon us¡ as with the fall of Shiznautmy, where our hopes were dashed¡ the more we wage war, the more it seems unending¡ a cycle of strife that has ensnared humans and demons, the Surface World and the Demon Realm, for so long¡ thus, by engaging in this ceaseless battle, we¡¯ll fall into the same hole¡ bound to an eternal conflict with no resolution in sight¡¡±
The Chieftain spoke with a cold, dismayed, and reluctant tone.
Even the battle for survival between humans and demons that is currently taking ce in the world seemed absurd, he found it all ridiculous.
¡°You¡ so what would you have us do then?¡±
¡°That¡¯s why I propose we flee. Is thisnd truly ours? Can we not let them through? It¡¯s just by chance that our forebears dwelt here, and our dominion is not acknowledged globally. Yet, to engage in such disputes would bring forth further vexations¡ so, let us not engage in battle but flee instead.¡±
¡°¡¡¡ dear¡¡¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t like it. The life of an elf is a long one, and I have no desire to be entangled in such matters, which, once entered, are difficult to escape. A quagmire from which one finds it hard to extricate oneself.¡±
¡°How selfish¡ truly, your thoughts are fundamentally different from the rest of us¡¡±
¡°Surprisingly, perhaps I am not truly an Elf. Mayhap, in a former life, I lived in a peaceful world as a human.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, not at all ¡ but even so¡ you won¡¯t just depart alone in haste¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Because it¡¯s a lengthy life indeed¡ To marry against my will, forsake those who have affection for me, and carry the burden of such guilt for decades is not to my liking. This is one of the quagmires difficult to escape once entangled. Hence, marriage is akin to a graveyard in one¡¯s life.¡±
¡°Fufu. Just be honest and say you don¡¯t want to lose a devoted, loving wife like myself.¡±
In a sense, the Chieftain¡¯s thoughts were self-centered.
He dismissed ancestry, pride, history, war, and all those kinds of things as nonsense.
I¡¯m sure the military guys fighting for their lives would be angry if they heard that, but I can understand why he doesn¡¯t want to be influenced by such things.
I also decided to quit being an Imperial Knight halfway through and live my life freely.
But¡¡
¡°It¡¯s the same as running away. Do you think there¡¯s a convenient safe haven at the end of the flight? And if you¡¯re going to live alone and in hiding, why not with everyone else?¡±
¡°yer?¡±
Surprisingly, even yer disagreed with the Chieftain¡¯s idea.
¡°¡¡ oh¡ the child has struck at the very core¡ oh¡¡ It¡¯s a challenging matter~¡¡ But¡¡ Yes, you speak truth¡¡ whether it¡¯s an era with no Demon King Army or humans¡ or an uninhabited world or distant stars, none shall be exempt from the toils of life¡¡±
¡°Saying stupid things and evading doesn¡¯t change the truth. Just running away without fighting¡ thinking you can find your ce that way¡ you¡¯re being naive.¡±
It seemed yer had some opinions of his own brewing within.
Well, like Espie, he lives by himself at this age, moving around the world alone and earning a living as a Hunter.
What about his hometown? Who are his parents? I haven¡¯t heard anything like that, but I know he must have had a hard time.
I guess that¡¯s why he said what he did.
In that sense, Espie may be the same.
And me, who ran away from home.
But, the Chieftain seemed to understand that.
¡°Well, that¡¯s the quandary¡ that¡¯s why I can¡¯t push the issue¡ however, even if we fight, we can¡¯t win¡ not against the Six-Gates Eye ¡ even Lady Kaguya could not withstand the might of the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar¡ the only possibility, thend of Shiznautmy, is upied by the Demon King Army¡ it¡¯s nigh impossible¡ to begin with, we don¡¯t even have the key¡¡±
¡º¡¡ Hmm? ¡¡ Hmm? ¡¡ this one¡ ¡»
The Chieftain, looking down with a wry smile at the word of a child like yer, was mumbling something, but I couldn¡¯t quite make it out.
But, Tre¡¯ainar reacted in some way ¡
¡°Eeii, bastards¡ don¡¯t ignore me!¡±
But, at that moment, the captive woman, who had been stunned until just a moment ago, suddenly burst out and shouted.
¡°Why are you even here? Don¡¯t tell me that the Allied Forces are joining hands with the elves!?¡±
Larou¡¯iph, who was surprised that we were here, shouted as he red at us.
¡°No, it¡¯s a coincidence. Besides, we¡¯re acting without any connection to the Allied Forces.¡±
¡°D, don¡¯t mess with me! And yet, are you going to attack Aonii and the others? That makes no sense! Either way, you are still the enemy of the Demon King Army!¡±
¡°Not an enemy, just annoying. It¡¯s just that there are times when you have to fight, depending on the situation. That Aonii is pretty dangerous, right? The Chieftain and his people seem to be in danger, and since we¡¯ve be friends, I¡¯m just lending a hand.¡±
¡°Why, such sloppy reasoning from flighty humans! It¡¯s because of people like you that¡ that person¡¡ that man who was kinder than anyone else¡¡±
Why? She was ring at me with eyes filled with murderous intent.
It¡¯s not my fault that she¡¯s being held captive like this right now.
¡°Shut up! White elves and ck elves alike, don¡¯t get together and call humans dirty! I won¡¯t go so far as to say that I or humans are clean, but if I don¡¯t have to fight, I won¡¯t do it! Believe it or not¡ I have a good friend who is an Ogre!¡±
¡°¡¡ wh¡ at?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeeeh!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but snap and say it. Well, it¡¯s not like it¡¯s a secret, so it¡¯s fine.
¡°Huh? Is that so?¡±
¡°Friends with an Ogre? Huh?¡±
¡°Big brother, is it true!?¡±
¡°Even though it¡¯s not a lie because it¡¯s Brother¡ friends with an Ogre?¡±
But, in this world of this era, it seems that ¡°friends with ogres¡± is quite far-fetched.
Espie and the others were also surprised with an expression that says, ¡°I can¡¯t believe it.¡±
¡°What¡ was that? How is that possible? It¡¯s one thing if you¡¯re a resident of the Demon Realm like us, but a human like you is friends with an Ogre?¡±
But this is an undeniable fact.
¡°It¡¯s a fact. He¡ I met him by chance after I ran away from home¡ and even though I was a mess¡ he was kinder to me than anyone else.¡±
Mr. Aka¡¡ he¡¯s somewhere in this era.
Is he still in the Demon King Army? Or has he already fled from the Demon King Army?
I can¡¯t meet him in this era, and I can¡¯t give his name, but¡ Mr. Aka¡¡ I¡¯d like to meet him¡
Chapter 322: Instant Boil
Chapter 322 ¨C Instant Boil
¡°¡ what¡¡ nonsense¡ are you¡¡±
It seemed as if Larou¡¯iph couldn¡¯t believe my words.
But then I¡
¡°It¡¯s not nonsense! Look at this!¡±
¡°?¡±
Saying that, I pulled out the one thing hanging inside my clothes.
It was given to me on ¡°that day¡±, the night I first met Mr. Aka.
Handmade essories and sculptures were disyed in the house. It was all handmade by Mr. Aka.
He said he would give me whatever I wanted, so he gave me a stone ne that day. Even though he was the one who gave it to me, Mr. Aka was so happy that I received it.
¡°This stone ne! I got it from my good friend!¡±
I showed it to Larou¡¯iph and everyone else¡ can you believe that an ogre made such a small ne?
¡°Is that so, Big brother~?¡±
¡°An Ogre¡ made that? No, I don¡¯t think Brother would lie.¡±
Even I was surprised at first.
Mr. Aka was so dexterous with his hands that he makes borate goddess statues with such massive arms¡
¡°Th, that!?¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
Tte, huh? What¡¯s with Larou¡¯iph shaking like crazy and wide-eyed?
Why?
¡°It¡¯s¡ something that has been passed down among the Dark Elves¡ like a talisman¡ what¡¯s more, its visage¡ has an emblem¡ unique to my hometown¡¡±
¡°Dark Elf? Ah, then again¡¡±
I think I remember reading that in the letter Mr. Aka left me when we parted ways.
He lived with his parents in a dark elf vige, where he worked as a guard.
¡°Oh~, yes ¡ he said that when he was younger, he lived in a dark elf vige with his parents¡¡±
¡°Eehh!??¡±
It was then. Larou¡¯iph, who had been ring at me for a long time, suddenly showed a weak expression, like a lost crying child.
¡°No way¡ No way¡¡±
I was stunned at the same time. It was the same with Tre¡¯ainar.
¡º¡¡ Child. By no means, this one¡¡»
¡¸¡¡ Ah¡ no way¡ I don¡¯t believe it!¡¹
Even I can tell by the look on her face. This fellow¡¡
¡°Hey, you¡ the ogre¡¯s name¡ what was it? No, you were with that ogre¡ when did you meet him?¡±
She asked with round, wary eyes.
I was confused and at a loss for words.
Then it happened.
¡°¡¡ eh, the barrier warding off intruders has been discovered and brought down! The fiends are upon us!¡±
Suddenly, the chieftain raised his voice.
And at the same time, something like ss shattered.
There was a magical barrier that covered this vige.
But the fact that it was destroyed means¡
¡°Huh? Our sanctuary has been uncovered already!? It¡¯s too soon¡¡±
¡°Women, children, and the elderly who can¡¯t fight, seek refuge indoors!¡±
¡°Curse it all! Quickly, ready your arms!¡±
¡°Dear, there is no choice but to face them!¡±
¡°Hah~¡s¡ indeed¡¡ once more, must we defend all that we hold dear¡¡±
This was no longer the time to say things like attacking from here or running away.
The only thing to do now was to fight now that they were in front of us.
¡°Tch, we¡¯ll talkter, Espie, yer, they¡¯reing¡ don¡¯t let your guard down.¡±
¡°Just me and Big brother will be enough. yer, you should stay in the back~¡±
¡°I won¡¯t let my guard down, but me and my brother will do it. Espie, you¡¯ll be a burden to us, so why don¡¯t you stay back?¡±
With the two little kids who were huffing full of motivation, we prepared ourselves. And at the same time, I activated the radar ¡
¡°Here theye! There are¡ exactly 100 people! ¡¡ from above!¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!??¡±¡±
My radar detected them. Among the mass of demons¡¡ creeping up from beyond the forest surrounding the vige, there was one who threw arge weapon at us.
¡°Whoa, something descends from up high!¡±
¡°Hii, do, dodge¨C¡°
A huge iron rod with sharp, stinging spikes.
Even in the Peach Boy picture book, the ogres had that weapon¡ a metal club!
¡°¡¾Fluffy Catch¡¿!¡±
But, Espie caught the weapon in mid-air with her ability without even touching it.
¡°Ironmake, ¡¾Shining Darkness Ogre Buster de¡¿!¡±
yer knocked the metal club that was floating in the air with a huge sword.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Oh, ooooooooooh~~~¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
The series of moves was met with exmations of admiration from the elves.
But at the same time¡
¡°What¡¯s this, besa? My metal rod missed? What da ya mean~ besa?¡±
With the sound of loud footsteps, huge figures stepped into the entrance of the vige.
¡°Well, I don know, Captain. Well, let¡¯s ravage em.¡±
¡°Hey, don touch the elf virgins. They can sell for a high price.¡±
¡°I know. Also, I don¡¯t care if ya kill men and old hags. But good-looking men can sell for a lot of money, so watch it.¡±
¡°Geez, the humans are very particr about their orders¡ why do we, the strongest ogres, have ta ept the request of those naked monkeys?¡±
¡°Don¡¯tin. It¡¯s the General¡¯s order. Besides, I¡¯ve been told that we can do whatever we want with non-virgins, so let¡¯s have fun with the leftovers here.¡±
Ah¡¡ huge¡ full of muscles¡ but¡¡ it¡¯spletely different¡
¡°Th, they approach¡ the orges¡¡±
¡°Huh, s, such a formidable force¡¡±
¡°Mightier than the fire dragons¡ ku¡¡±
¡°They are here¡¡±
¡°Dear¡¡±
It certainly looks like an ogre.
No, that might be the very ogres that everyone fears.
But¡¡
¡°The eyes¡ their expressions¡ it¡¯s totally different.¡±
It¡¯spletely different from the good friend I know¡ from Mr. Aka.
It¡¯s not like the expression that was kinder than anyone else¡ such distorted eyes¡ just looking at them makes me nauseous.
But, this was still the Demon King Army. Normally, I wouldn¡¯t want to get involved, meddle in anything, or intervene as much as possible, but ¡
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¹
¡ºI leave it to you. Do as you please.¡»
There¡¯s no choice but to fight here¡
¡°Eh¡ Aonii!¡±
¡°Hmm? ¡¡ Hmm? That one over there¡isn¡¯t that the youngdy~Besa~! What are ya doing~ besa~?¡±
¡°Damn¡ it¡¯s embarrassing¡¡±
¡°They caught ya!¡±
¡°Ah, ah¡ more importantly, Aonii! I need to talk to you! Your childhood friend¡ª-¡°
At that moment, Larou¡¯iph shouted at the blue ogre in the middle of the group, and the other party also noticed and stared in amazement.
¡°Oh, dark elf! Captain, is she Demon King Army¡ the ones with the sexy outfits? She¡¯s being held by something¡¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah, aah¡ that¡¯s¡¡ Larou¡¯iph from the Amazoness Unit~ besa.¡±
¡°Larou¡¯iph? Ah, that ebony one! Yes, her¡ she¡¯s the daughter of the chief of the vige where that cowardly idiot lived!¡±
The other ogres seemed to have noticed the presence of Larou¡¯iph, but they also seemed to have noticed something else, and their hideous expressions showed an even more vulgar smile, and they burst intoughter.
¡°Ah, I know that one too! That¡¯s right, that shitty bastard¡ that¡¯s the vige where that useless Aka came from, right?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡¡ What? Now¡¡ What¡¡ And so¡
¡°Aka? Ah, that failure ogre, the cowardly idiot!¡±
¡°Oh, the worst cowardly ogre ever, the one who couldn¡¯t get with the mood!¡±
¡°No, no, he was useful, wasn¡¯t he? After all, he always let those who surrendered live ~. ying around with the women he captured was a great way ta kill time. Well, don know why he cried afterward. Gehahahahaha!¡±
¡°Oh, and he¡¯s missing, isn¡¯t he? Well, even without that idiot, we wouldn¡¯t be in any trouble. He¡¯s an idiot with zero achievements.¡±
And¡.. these guys¡ what were they talking about?
¡°Hmm¡¡±
Why was Larou¡¯iph angry? No, she is from Mr. Aka¡ I mean, does she know Mr. Aka? So, do they know him too?
¡°Stop it! He¡¯s gone! Don ever bring up the dead again! That¡¯s right, he¡¯s dead!¡±
¡°Eh~? Well, it doesn¡¯t matter, whether ya bring up that idiot or not.¡±
And then Mr. Aka died¡ is that supposed to be the case? In other words, Mr. Aka was already part of the Demon King Army¡ no, not anymore¡ not like that!
¡°In fact, that scum irritated me so much that I could have just killed him with my own hands¡ Well, leaving aside the dead idiots, the elves now¨C¡°
Yes, for the time being, let¡¯s sort things out¡ no, we don¡¯t have to.
All I know is these guys¡
¡°Come, ya forest worms! We¡¯re¡¡±
¡°Koraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
¡°Huh¡ª?¡±
¡°Great Demon Smash!!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
One of the pricks tried to shout something, but before I could hear it all, I found myself running out and smashing the guy¡¯s jaw with a smash.
¡°B, Big brother!?¡±
¡°Brother!?¡±
¡°Oh¡?¡±
¡°Oh, he¡¡±
¡°What? Human? What in the world?¡±
The feeling of shattering the bone remained in my left hand.
Now that I think about it, ever since I came to this era, I¡¯ve tried my best not to get too involved in punches or anything like that.
When it came to Norja, no matter how many punches I threw against that huge figure, there was no response.
But now it¡¯s different.
These guys¡
¡°The Demon King Army¡ is not an enemy, nor evil¡ so, even if I were human, I was not going to fight them aggressively¡ but, just to be clear, it¡¯s different this time.¡±
My good friend¡ these guys were talking about him with such rotten eyes and mouths¡
¡°All you bastards,e on! I¡¯ll take on all 100 of you at once!¡±
Chapter 323: Tearful Rampage
Chapter 323 ¨C Tearful Rampage
¡°W, why are humans? Allied forces?¡±
¡°Tch, ya dare¡ kill em¡ª-¡°
I rushed in without thinking, and now I¡¯m all alone and surrounded by 100 strong ogres¡ so what!
¡°¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Kape¡±
¡°Pyah!?¡±
A fast left to the jaw, and then¡
¡°Who¡¯s¡ the idiot! Who¡¯s the coward? Who¡¯s the failure? Who?¡±
The moment I swung, I mmed my right into a temple, a body, or a sr plexus.
¡°B, Big brother!? Big brother is really excited!?¡±
¡°Rather¡ Brother¡¡ is angry? What should we do¡ do we also¡ but, he¡¯ll be on his own in that state¡¡±
¡°Eek¡¡±
¡°Hold on, he ventured forth alone!! W-what course of action shall we take? Then again¡ despite this¡¡±
We don¡¯t need to work together right now.
I can pretty much figure it out with the radar. All of these guys¡ are strong ogres¡ so what!
¡°Th, that guy¡¡±
¡°Wh, what the hebeh?¡±
Just wait¡ I¡¯ll beat up everyst one of them.
¡°Damn it, this guy is so skilled!¡±
¡°Surround him, surround and squash him!¡±
¡°Bug, don mess with ogres!¡±
The ogres¡¯ huge bodies form a circle around me, blocking my escape route. But, their movement was very slow.
¡°Oh, get squashed!¡±
¡°Got yaaa!¡±
Fists, metal clubs, hammers, and axes are all huge weapons and powerful enough to shatter an ordinary person¡¯s body if they were to hit them.
But¡¡
¡°¡¾Magical Footwork¡¿¡±
It¡¯s toote. It¡¯s too slow. Rebal was much faster in the Imperial Match.
In other words¡¡
¡°Wh, what¡ is that?¡±
¡°This guy, keeps moving ¡ damn, running around!¡±
¡°Hah~, damn it! Too damn, ha~, fast!
Their speed was so different that they couldn¡¯t even touch me.
No, in the first ce¡
¡°Running around? Then¡ try hitting me with that fist of yours.¡±
I stopped in my tracks and taunted one of the ogres who was swinging his fist around.
I stood in front of him and exposed my face.
¡°Th, this puny thing¡ d, don¡¯t mess with me!¡±
Then, the demon shouted angrily at my provocation and put all his strength into his body.
Then, he raised his right arm and swung it down towards my face.
¡°I¡¯m going ta crush ya ¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°¡¾Great Demon Head-butt¡¿!!¡±
I head-butted the fist that came towards me with great force.
¨D¨D¨DGusha!!
Undoubtedly, that was the sound of bones breaking and flesh being crushed.
¡°Huh!? B, big brother!?¡±
¡°Wh, what are you doing, Brother?¡±
¡°Hold, w, w, hat, what folly?¡±
¡°H, he¡¯s surely killed¡¡±
A punch delivered from a strong arm. Normally, I wouldn¡¯t take it like this.
But this time, havingpared it to ¡°that time¡±, I didn¡¯t see it as a threat.
¡°Ah¡ this is definitely different.¡±
Yes, it¡¯s definitely different.
¡°Eh, gu, uuaaAAAAAAAAAAHHH, m, my, my FIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!??
The ogre screamed as his fist broke on my forehead.
¡°W, wow, Big brother!?¡±
¡°What a way to take it¡ but¡¡ so cool¡ that¡¯s my Brother!¡±
¡°Goodness¡ truly remarkable, young man.¡±
¡°Well, I never¡¡±
I myself didn¡¯t care much.
No, it doesn¡¯t change the fact that it hurts, but my heart didn¡¯t waver at all.
¡°So different¡¡±
¡°Gah, ha, hi, hii!?¡±
¡°Compared to that punch where my brain felt like it was exploding inside my head, sparks flying from my eyes¡ this feeble one is nothiiiing!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sr Plexus Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Kohyu!?¡±
¡°I mean, a grown man shouldn¡¯t scream so easily! ¡¾Great Demon Head-Butt¡¿!¡±
¡°Gah, m, ma nobe, ma teef, ah, ah, ahhiiiiiiii!?¡±
When I delivered a blow to the pit of his stomach, the ogre simply fell to his knees and vomited in agony.
But, the moment he fell down to his knees, I head-butted him in the face.
¡°W-what¡ who is this human!?¡±
¡°How can he¡ Damn it!¡±
¡°No way, he¡¯s a big shot from the Allied Forces¡¡±
It only took a few seconds. With just that, the expressions of the ogres, who had been smiling incredulously until just now, turned pale.
¡°W-what is this¡this guy¡¡±
And even the blue-skinned ogre seemed to be confused by me.
¡°Yes, surround him! If ya do that, such a puny gu¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Blow¡¿!¡±
¡°Bagyu!?¡±
But to be honest, I don¡¯t think I can stop now. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll have much mercy left in me.
The more I punched, the more I felt like my fists were about to explode, instead of feeling refreshed.
¡°I¡ I get it. You were all massive, frighteningly strong, and yet he was kinder than anyone else¡ an ogre whose heart was so much purer than ours!¡±
The blood flowing in my body was boiling.
¡°And because I was weak¡ because of me, my good friend disappeared before me¡ yet all of you¡¡±
With these eyes, these expressions, these mouths, these smiles, it¡¯s just that they were the same ogre as Mr. Aka¡
¨D¨D Well, I¡¯m an ogre, so it¡¯s impossible for people not to be afraid. It¡¯s amon urrence.
That alone¡ stained Mr. Aka.
¨D¨D I¡ I want ta make friends with people, but I¡¯m scared. Humans find me scary.
¡°Because of you all¡¡±
¨D¨D Well, I do¡. one person at a time¡. making friends¡. having fun, ying games, having them over for a meal¡ ah, like that
¡°Guys like you!!¡±
¨D¨D I knew. Ogres weren¡¯t such a race originally. Everyone has changed because of the ¡®war¡¯.
¡°Ogres¡ demons, humans¡ everyone is always at war!¡±
¨D¨D Yer my only friend in the world, so I want ta bother Earth.
¡°Damn iiiiiIIIIIIIIITT!!¡±
I can¡¯t see anything ahead anymore.
All of you, get flying! ¡¾Great Demon Rush¡¿! Rush! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSH!!¡±
I should have been angry at first, but the more I punched and the more Ished out, the sadder I got.
¡°Hi, hi, what the heck is that¡ we are the Hakuki army, strongest in the Demon King Army¡¡±
¡°He¡¯s like a storm¡ m, monster¡¡±
¡°Why, why is this guy here! It should be an easy mission ta catch some elven bugs and the women for the first time in a long time! What¨D¨D¨D¨DPugya!?¡±
I kept beating up about 90 ogres, and the rest hung back, scared and stunned.
¡°Yeah, what rotten luck.¡±
Seeing their expressions, my feet and hands finally stopped.
¡°Damn it¡ this war, get it over with will you¡you stupid father¡¡±
I was so angry that I couldn¡¯t help but mutter something like that.¡±
¡°¡¡ ku¡¡ ya guys, stay back¡ I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±
¡°¡±Captain!?¡±¡±
I thought everyone had lost their fighting spirit, but there was one person who was different.
He¡¯s Captain Aonii.
It¡¯s true that his atmosphere may be different from the other ogres, but¡
¡°I¡¯ll deal with ya¡huh? Hey, what are ya crying about?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Hearing this, I hurriedly wiped my eyes. It¡¯s true¡ I¡ before I knew it¡
¡°Wait, Aonii! That guy¡ he¡¡±
Then, at that time, Larou¡¯iph raised her voice in a panic¡
¡°That man¡ might have some connection to Aka! And¡.. believe it or not, they are friends¡¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Perhaps Aka is¡ alive¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Aka¡¯s dead! I don care about the dead guy! He¡¯s dead, and that¡¯s what I¡¯m reporting, youngdy!¡±
Mr. Aka¡ he¡¯s alive¡ but, it will be more than ten years before he meets me¡
¡°Hey, what is it? What are ya nning, pretending ta be a friend of a dead, stupid Ogre?¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°In the first ce, humans being friends with ogres? That¡¯s impossible. Puny, weak, and deceiving humans don deserve a thing.¡±
¡°¡¡ What¡¯s that?¡±
Oh, thank goodness¡ my anger and fighting spirit, which had begun to fade and be conflicted, has been reignited.
¡°Ya seems to be a bit strong, but I can¡¯t trust ya with that much. Well, if ya beat me, I¡¯ll believe in ya a little.¡±
Somehow, he had a sarcastic smile on his face.
If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll end you in seconds.
¡ºOgre warrior Aonii¡ whatever the oue¡ I shall bear witness to all.¡»
Chapter 324: Parry
Chapter 324 ¨C Parry
Strange? I don¡¯t know what it is, but so what.
¡°Rraaaaaaargh!!¡±
He didn¡¯t just have big, strong arms. There was definitely a lot of ¡°power¡± packed into those muscles.
He¡¯s certainly different from the ogres I beat up in an instant.
I step around behind Aonii.
¡°Wow!¡±
¡°Chieftain, you all need to stand back a bit¡¡±
¡°Ugh¡ Wow¡¡±
¡°H, he sundered the very ground!? Wh, what monstrous power!¡±
There was a roar, followed by an explosion, and a huge pit was formed in the center of the vige.
That¡¯s a lot of power¡ but¡¡ there were a lot of openings, the swing was too big, and it was not hard to dodge.
¡°So quick besa.¡±
¡°You¡¯re just slow.¡±
When I got behind him, Aonii immediatelyunched a backfist.
But I understand now.
Sinceing to this era, we have focused on the radar. My pre-reading improved as I mastered it.
Now, I can already see how Aonii will move, no matter how many moves ahead.
That¡¯s why I know¡
¡°Damn it¨D¨D¨D¨Dhuh!?¡±
Just as Aonii was about to put some strain on his muscles, telegraphing ¡°I¡¯m going to attack now¡±, I stopped the counter fist right in front of him.
¡°¡¡ What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Oh¡ Oh¡¡±
¡°Come on.¡±
This was not carelessness or overconfidence.
It¡¯s conviction.
¡°Don look down on me besa! ¡¾Ogre Hundred Rend Fist¡¿!!¡±
A continuous series of punches using both arms. Theye at me like a wall.
But, no matter how numerous it looked, to my arms, it was like he was just punching at me one by one in turn.
¡°Hmm¡¡±
If hees with a straight right, just block his fist from above with the left hand and parry, and if hees with a straight left, just parry with the right.
¡°Wha, w, wh¡ what?!¡±
While standing in ce, I parried Aonii¡¯s continuous punches with only my upper body and both hands.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Parry¡¿!!¡±
He can¡¯t hit me.
All of them, one after the other, without pause, were parried. And turned away.
¡°Th, that¡¯s a lie, Captain! That¡¯s a lie!¡±
¡°Fool, g, get serious, Captain Aoni!¡±
¡°Now is the time, show us the power of the Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred!¡±
The attack, which would have been too much for a normal person to handle if it hit them, never hit in the first ce.
The other ogres who hadn¡¯t fainted let out trembling voices.
¡°S, yer¡ can you¡ do that?¡±
¡°Um¡ that¡¯s unreasonable¡ to begin with¡ it was the same when he fought Norja. It¡¯s easy to get caught up in Brother¡¯s big moves, punches, and footwork, but¡ um¡¡ it¡¯s as if he¡¯s in control of the entire battle¡ his eyes seem to be able to read everything¡¡±
¡°I believed he was capable, but¡ his strength exceeded even my expectations. Now¡¡ This is it¡ what course of fate shall unfold? Young man.¡±
¡°H, he was no mere pervert¡ he possessed such strength?¡±
And if you can discern this much, you¡¯ll be able to match the opponent¡¯s heaviest punch¡
¡°D, damn¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Here! ¡¾Great Demon Cross Counter¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
I countered with a crossed fist that added to Aonii¡¯s offensive power.
Flesh crushed, face caved in by my fist, nose, teeth, and bone shattered as I punched him away.
¡°Ka, Kaha¡ Gaa¡¡±
Aonii finallyy on his back and moaned, unable to get up as he was.
At that moment, you could say that everything was settled.
¡°Wow, that¡¯s amazing¡ Big brother, you¡¯re so strong!¡±
¡°As expected of Brother¡ I get chills imagining him getting hit with a punch like that¡¡±
¡°Tsuyo¡¡±
¡°I, iprehensible¡¡±
¡°A, amazing! That human¡ in an instant, the ogres¡¡±
Cheers went up. The elves who had treated me like a pervert also smiled and pumped their fists in the air, as if they had flipped on their opinion.
These self-interested guys.
A few months ago, I was still immature, but even with that in mind, Mr. Aka was much stronger than any of the hundred people here.
Rather, with this much¨D¨D¨D
¡°Hmm?¡±
At that moment, I sensed something piercing in the air.
A chill¡¡?
¡°¡¡ This is no good besa.¡±
Was he still conscious? But what is this guy saying while lying on his back?
I mean, even though I hit him that hard, doesn¡¯t he feel any pain? He was expressionless, quiet, and¡
¡°Sure, yer a tough one. But not tough enough ta change the world or protect it. Yer halfcocked.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh? You, what are you doing¡¡±
¡°Well, this is how it goes besa¡ protect it¡ even Hiro of the Seven Heroes couldn beat Lord Hakuki¡ ya don even understand that, so saying things like being friends with an ogre is just nonsense, besa¡¡±
What? This calm ¡ it¡¯s like before a storm¡
¡ºNot yet, it starts here¡ Tis what he means, child.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºYou have grown strong¡ to the point where you can confront those Six Supremacy¡ However, the name of the Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred¡ tis not so cheap.¡»
At that moment, as if he knew everything from the beginning, Tre¡¯ainar whispered in my ear.
¡°No good besa¡ it¡¯s no good¡ besa¡¡ no good¡¡ it¡¯s frustrating¡ acting all tough as a good guy with just half-baked strength and trying ta do something halfcocked¡ Ah¡ Aah¡ I¡¯m going ta kill ya~¡±
I don¡¯t get it! But here hees!
¡°Tch! What was that¡?¡±
Something¡ exploded!
¡°Big brother!?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Brother?¡±
A cold sweat ran down my spine.
I involuntarily took a step back from the ce.
And the next moment ¡¡
¡°Be cool and smart¡ the disappointment will be crushed besa¡±
A quiet and gentle tone. But in an instant, the mountains, forests, and surrounding area turned icy cold.
The horns on his head grew sharper andrger, his whole body turned blue-ck, and his eyes turned cold and sharp.
¡°Ah¡¡±
This power is ¡ simr to that time¡ simr to Mr. Aka, when Shinobu¡¯s big brothers attacked and burned down his fields and house, but it¡¯s a little different¡
¡ºTis simr to Aka, and yet different¡ unlike Aka, whoid everything bare and overflowed it all, this one ¡ quietly burns within¡ the type to getposed as he gets angry¡¡»
I see. Tre¡¯ainar was right, the title wasn¡¯t cheap, it¡¯s not fancy.
But¡¡
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Brother, we¡¯ll also¡¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t need to interfere, neither of you.¡±
Sensing the changed atmosphere, Espie and yer tried to join in, but it was unnecessary.
¡°I¡¯m a disappointment? In that case, I¡¯ll teach you all about me, and then I¡¯ll live up to your expectations to the fullest.¡±
It¡¯s just that the opponent I could defeat with a single punch has be stronger, and now I can¡¯t defeat him without a more powerful punch.
Then I¡¯ll hit him with that one shot, and I¡¯ll carve it into him.
As many times as it takes.
Chapter 325: Riding the Provocation
Chapter 325 ¨C Riding the Provocation
It was so quiet that it was hard to believe I was facing an ogre.
I thought he was going to bare his fangs and rampage like a storm, but then he slowly and calmly closed the gap, like a first-ss swordsman.
He must be quite a troublesome being, because when he loses his temper, he bes calmer, and his power increases as well.
But¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Jab¡¿!¡±
I¡¯m sure hisbat power and speed have increased, but I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll be able to get past my left with his size.
In that case, shake his jaw and¡
¡°¡¾Oni Elbow¡¿¡±
Aonii reacted. But this shouldn¡¯t be avoidable¡ is he dodging it? He raised his elbow¡¡ an Elbow block? The hardness of the body¡ can¡¯t stop this, no, I¡¯ll just hit him and see what happens.
¡°Huh!?¡±
The next moment, I felt pain in my left fist. It hurt as if something sharp and hard had pierced it.
He used his elbow to deflect my jab¡ that wasn¡¯t the end of it.
¡°¡¾Oni Elbow Cut¡¿!¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
Right then and there, he swung his elbow down at an angle, trying to cut me.
It¡¯s also fast and powerful.
¡°Big brother!?¡±
Even if I dodge it with a backstep, a vacuum wave will be generated and it will try to cut me open.
But, since I had already detected this, I calmly dodged it by crouching down at the same time as the backstep.
But from there¡
¡°That¡¯s a great reaction besa¡ but¡¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
Aonii closed the gap between us with one stride, and swung his right knee at me as hard as he could while I was in a crouched position¡ ah¡ this is dangerous¡
¡°I¡¯ll smash you to pieces besa!!¡±
It¡¯s easy to get caught up in an ogre¡¯s massive body and strong arms, but what¡¯s even more dangerous were the legs and hips that support such a huge body.
It¡¯s said that a kick is four times as powerful as a punch, and the legs are stronger than the arms.
In other words, his legs are many times stronger than his arms¡ moreover, his knees¡ are as sharp and hard as his elbows!
¡°¡¾Blue Knee¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¾Breakthrough¡¿!!¡±
¡°Wha!?¡±
Sensing that it would be dangerous if it hit me, I immediately activated the Breakthrough and swiftly distanced myself from the spot at a speed even surpassing Aonii¡¯s.
¡°S, so close¡ no, more than that, what did that guy do?! What¡¯s that light covering his body?¡±
¡°And now¡ he was so fast that I couldn¡¯t see how he moved!?¡±
¡°He still had that kind of trump move¡ th, that¡¯s a lie¡ what the hell is that human?¡±
¡°He dodged Captain Aonii¡¯s knee kick from that state!¡±
I reflexively used the Breakthrough.
It¡¯s a technique I didn¡¯t want to use against the Demon King Army in this day and age, though.
¡°Hold, what? What matter is this? Dear, does your understanding grasp the nature of this affair?¡±
¡°Ha, I presumed a demeanor rough-hewn, yet he¡¯s actually adept in the handling of magical forces, a splendid spectacle, I must say ~¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ By the way, Espie? That skill of Brother¡¯s¡ do you know what it¡¯s all about?¡±
¡°Hehe~un, don¡¯t you know yer ~? That¡¯s the Super Big Brother move that Big brother uses when he gets serious!¡±
No, Espie. That¡¯s not it either!
That said, once I used the Breakthrough, I was able to get a sense of what would happen if Ipared my power to Aonii¡¯s.
That knee kick is the only threat, but as it is, there are any number of ways to beat him with speed or a right blow.
¡°Aah~¡ look¡¡ when things get a little dangerous¡ humans run right away.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah?
While I was calmly analyzing the difference in strength between me and my opponent, Aonii sighed and sneered at me, looking disappointed.
¡°That¡¯s how you look to me besa. You can talk all the pretty words as long as you¡¯re in a safe ce, but when things get dangerous, you quickly run for your own safety. You¡¯re just a human after all¡ hmph¡ such a¡ man besa.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
This is¡¡ too obvious a provocation.
I also realized this in a moment.
Even if we had a normal fistfight, the odds would be against me.
By provoking me, he was trying to drag me into his territory.
At such a provocation, I¡
¡°Well, a clever ogre would be able to see through something like that right away. But, someone like, um¡ that cowardly idiot, like Aka, erm, might easily fall for it¡ Really, he¡¯s a failure of an Ogre to the end.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Well, when you think about it, you do suit each other. Azy ogre and azy human, beingzy friends? Well, it¡¯s just such a halfcocked thing.¡±
I see. Is that how it is?
You think I¡¯m going to get angry if you do this¡
¡°Such cheap provocation ¡ I wouldn¡¯t say that. I¡¯ll tell you, it¡¯s going to cost you, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Hmm, what did you say¡¡±
But even if it¡¯s a provocation, I won¡¯t let you say that again.
I won¡¯t let him doubt me.
I have to prove it to this guy¡so I¡¯ll buy it.
¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°?¡±
I lowered my hips deep on the spot, positioned to throw a head-butt.
Well, I think I¡¯m an idiot myself, and to be honest, I think it¡¯s going to hurt a lot, and it¡¯s going to be dangerous.
Even Espie and yer might make a huge screaming fuss.
If I do it right, I can win more easily¡ but I can¡¯t help myself¡
¡°I¡¯m not trying to win, I¡¯m trying to prove something¡ Yeah. No running, I¡¯ll prove it! I¡¯m not going to run away, I¡¯m going to smash your knee against my head, rather I¡¯ll break it!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmph¡¡±
¡ºFufufu¡¡»
¡°¡±¡±Eeh!??¡±¡±¡±
¡°¡±¡±Eeeeeeh!??¡±¡±¡±
Everyone was amazed. The ogres, Espie, yer, the Chieftain, his wife, the other elves, and Larou¡¯iph and everyone else there.
No¡¡ not everyone¡ Tre¡¯ainar smiled and silently told me to go.
And¡¡
¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t go easy on you. Either way, I¡¯ll expose you right away, then you¡¯ll retract your previous statement and run away crying. Just like Aka.¡±
¡°Shut up. I¡¯m going to make that pale face even paler than it was before.¡±
I wonder what it is. This Aonii guy smiled for a moment ¡ rather than a gloat saying, ¡°You idiot¡± it¡¯s like saying, ¡°Try it¡±¡?
Well, never mind.
From now on, it¡¯s not about thinking and strategizing in your head.
I¡¯m not going to think about anything, I¡¯m just going to go in with my instincts!
Chapter 326: Shaking Off the Running Lights
Chapter 326 ¨C Shaking Off the Running Lights
¡°Anyone can run their mouth before actually doing it, besa.¡±
If you¡¯re not careful, you may underestimate an opponent who can beat you.
In the first ce, my opponent would be much better than me in terms of the amount ofbat experience, including wars.
But I have no choice but to do it.
¡°After you actually do it, you can¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°Hey, let me tell you one thing.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Strengthen the body through the Breakthrough and just aim straight at the opponent.
¡°What¡¯s needed in a fight.¡±
Lower the hips deeply and prepare to gain as much momentum as possible.
But, the more I do that, the more my face ends up in the perfect position for Aonii¡¯s knee kick¡
¡°Speed, power, technique¡ and heart!¡±
I said these words not to Aonii, but to myself.
Not to win, not to beat him, but to prove something.
To make an ogre like Mr. Aka admit that my feelings are not just words.
If I can¡¯t prove it here, I won¡¯t be able to feel proud when I meet Mr. Aka again someday.
¡°Heart¡ this brat ¡¡ so cocky besa. Still, you can only say that now, besa!¡±
¡°I will definitely say the same words at the end of this sh!¡±
So, to battle!
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
¡°Squash you besa!¡±
A furious charge to immediately close the gap. From there, I bent my upper body and, using the recoil to my advantage, thrust my forehead to the opponent in one fluid motion.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Head-butt¡¿!¡±
¡°¡¾Blue Knee¡¿!¡±
Oh, this is dangero¡
¨D¨DSmash
For a brief moment, the image of ending up like a squashed fruit crossed my mind.
Once again, I instinctively sensed that this was dangerous.
The big knee that was approaching appeared to be in slow motion, not because of the Breakthrough, but because I was in the Zone.
After all, this was also an Ogre. Whether it was a fist or a knee, I could see Mr. Aka in the figure that was attacking by putting all his strength into it.
This is dangerous, I might need to evade it.
If I wanted to evade it, I could do so now.
But¡¡
¡°Uruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
Desperate, but frantically gritting my teeth, I thrust my forehead out wholeheartedly.
Then, the next moment, there was a sh of light that made my entire field of vision go white.
¡°B¡ Big brother!? Th,th,th, that thud!¡±
¡°B, Brother, ku, h, holy cow! Brother could have avoided that easily!¡±
¡°¡¡ Haha¡¡ I tip my hat¡¡ truly, the resonance is formidable¡¡±
¡°That man, is he not a fool!?¡±
¡°Gyaaaaaaahh, h, he got kneecapped by the captain!¡±
¡°What a guy, he really went for it, headfirst!¡±
¡°That human¡¡±
Somehow, someone was already saying something, regardless of race¡ ah, I can see¡ no, it¡¯s okay¡ I can see right away¡ the scenery is ¡¡
¨D¨DHey, Sadiz¡ hug
¨D¨DNfufufufu~, yes~ Little man. Have a hug. Gyu~~ ?
¨D¨DUgh~, how cute ¡ that¡¯s my son! Hey, Earth~, Mommy will give you a hug too, soe here~
¨D¨D Kuuu~, what a cute little guy my son is. I¡¯ll never let that perverted fox woman have you! Come on, Earth~, Daddy¡¯s gonna y with you ~
¨D¨DNa¡¯ah¡. I hug, and y, with Sadiz~
¨D¨DNhm, Little man~ ?
¨D¨DUgh~ why~, I want to hold Earth in my arms too ~
¨D¨D Why don¡¯t you cling to your daddy at all!?
Huh? I mean, what? Huh? What am I looking at?
¨D¨DUfufu, Hiro and Mamu still have much to learn~. Sadiz dear, I think you¡¯re too sweet on the boy. Ah well, it can¡¯t be helped. He¡¯s so adorable ~
¨D¨DAh¡ Granma!
¨D¨DHau!? Little man!? Uuh~~, Madam¡¯s Mother! Please don¡¯t take away my Little man!
¨D¨DOh dear, you¡¯re so mad. But I only get to see him once in a while, so please forgive me. Look, Earthy. It¡¯s Granma~, here, I bought toys for you ~
¨D¨DYay! Thank you, Granma!
¨D¨DLuring Little man like that is sneaky! Ugh, with this, Little man will be fooled by bad girls in the future. Right now, that¡¯s going to be¡ª
¨D¨DHere, a souvenir for you too, Sadiz~
¨D¨DUgh¡ th, thank you very much¡
¨D¨DUfufu, I have two adorable grandchildren, Granma is so blessed~ ?
That? Something about when we were little¡ isn¡¯t this bad?!
¡°Nu, guo!?¡±
Hey, this is like the running lights you see when you¡¯re about to die! I feel like I¡¯m looking back on my life since I could barely remember¡
¡°tsu, uuuuugh!?¡±
At that moment, a sharp pain ran through my head.
Beyond pain, the only word that came to mind was ¡°dangerous¡±.
It¡¯s like my brain is being hammered directly over and over again¡ at the same time, I feel like my brain is being shaken ¡ absolutely outrageous!
This pain is just like Mr. Aka¡¯s punch ¡
¡°Nhg, wha, no¡ hmm?¡±
¡°tsu¡ b, brat¡¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
But, in my fading field of vision, I certainly saw it.
Aonii¡¯s kneecaps were discolored, and his face was distorted with greasy sweat all over his body.
Aonii wasn¡¯t unscathed either.
I almost got in trouble too, but I couldn¡¯t give in.
¡ºCome now¡ tis just the beginning, both of you.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, I heard the words of Tre¡¯ainar, who seemed to be in a good mood.
¡ºThis is a battle of wills. As such, the first one to back down loses. So what will you do?¡»
Aonii couldn¡¯t hear Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s voice, but Tre¡¯ainar seemed to be speaking not only to me, but also to Aonii.
But either way, both me and Aonii were still in a lot of pain, but we hadn¡¯t copsed yet.
If both of us were still¡ then¡¡
¡°Well¡ n, not done yet¡ I¡¯m still goiiiiiiiiiiing!!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Then my feet, my head, and my heart couldn¡¯t stand still.
¡°What, no way, B, B, Big brother!?¡±
¡°Idiot, you are still doing it!?¡±
Yeah, sorry, Espie, yer.
Your brother¡¯s an idiot.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Head-butt¡¿!¡±
¡°Guh, U, guh, BRAAAAAAAT, ¡¾BLUE KNEEEEEEE¡¿!!
Perhaps sensing my feelings, Aonii, not to be outdone, brought up his knee again.
Moreover, he dared to use the knee that had been injured by the blow instead of the other, intact one.
¡°Gafu!?¡±
¡°Tsu~~~~~~gah!?¡±
Oh, no¡ another sh of light in my head¡ no, it¡¯s a lightning bolt¡ but still¡¡
¡°If it was¡ my first time¡¡ I¡¯d be in trouble¡¡±
Yes, it¡¯s not my first time. Receiving such a hard blow to the forehead.
But for this guy, it was his first time.
I¡¯m sure he¡¯s defeated a lot of people with his deadly knee kicks, but he never thought that someone would ram his head into that knee kick¡
¡°I¡ I¡¯m not ¡ broken ¡ nh¡ not even a single crack!¡±
But I know this pain. And I could take it.
I got through it once, so I can get through it again!
Chapter 327: Why Are You So Stubborn?
Chapter 327 ¨C Why Are You So Stubborn?
¡°Why¡ would, that human¡ go so far¡ what the hell is going on, Aka¡¡±
The dark elf, Larou¡¯iph, seemed quite confused about something, but I couldn¡¯t be bothered.
How many times was it now? About two or three times maybe?
¡°¡¡ look, Yitea¡ Look. as we did ready ourselves for battle, in secret did I summon forth the beasts of the forest¡ they stand guard around the vige, poised for themand toe¡¡±
¡°What? Ah, truly¡ when did thise to pass? In the moments unbeknownst¡¡±
¡°True. Yet, regardless of my instructions, the beasts and dragons, too, stand agape at this sh¡ I understand¡ even the creatures do. Their incapacity, not just a matter of restraint¡ but one borne of instinct.¡±
Ah¡¡ now I can¡¯t even tell if it hurts or not.
¡°Big brother, are you stupid?! Are you an idiot!?¡±
¡°Are you stupid, brother!? Is he an idiot!?¡±
My little sister and brother were both calling me ¡°stupid¡± over and over again.
Well, I¡¯m an idiot though¡
¡°Ngh, ga, ah¡¡±
I felt like my head was cut off, my forehead cracked, blood was gushing out, and I lost consciousness momentarily.
¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you my hand, Brother!¡±
But I can¡¯t back down.
I may ept the word ¡°idiot¡±, but this was the only thing I won¡¯t ept.
¡°Back¡ oooooooooooff!!!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
Good, I could still speak¡ my mouth was mushy, and even if I didn¡¯t do anything, blood kept dripping out, so I couldn¡¯t speak properly.
¡°Big, brother¡¡±
¡°W, why, Brother¡¡±
This was my stubbornness.
¡°Geho, koho¡ it¡¯s okay¡ Espie ¡¡ yer¡¡ I¡¯m fine with being stupid. Just for now, I can¡¯t act reasonably¡ there are times¡ like that. This right now, is one of those times.¡±
That¡¯s why I won¡¯t let my siblings interfere.
I felt bad for the two of them with their worries and tears, but I won¡¯t let them get in the way, and I managed to smile with a mouth that only tasted of blood.
I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m smiling or not.
¡°Oh¡ ugh¡ ugh¡¡±
In front of me, Aonii was kneeling down on one knee and holding his other knee with a bitter expression on his face.
¡°Heh, hehe¡ what¡¯s wrong? Aonii¡¡ not done yet¡¡ we only bumped into each other a little¡¡±
¡°Nuh!?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve heard that kicks are stronger than punches, but¡ I couldn¡¯tpete with Mr. Aka when he really went all out.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°This is nothing at all, I can still handle it!¡±
Honestly, by this point I¡¯m already used to it¡ the sensation in my face was also numb, and as long as I don¡¯t lose consciousness ¡
¡°You¡ why would you go that far¡ are you¡¡ stupid?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, ¡¾Great Demon¨C¡°
¡°Gah, nuh¡ ¡¾Blue kneeeeeeeeeee¡¿!¡±
¡°Head-buuh¡ gahyu!?¡±
Ah, not good¡ I¡¯m already in dangerous territory. I don¡¯t know if it hurts, it¡¯s hot, or it¡¯s painful anymore, I don¡¯t know anything, I feel¡ did he ask me something just now?
Why am I doing this? Wasn¡¯t it because you told me not to run away?
¡°I didn¡¯t want to be a bother¡ I thought I could handle as much trouble as I wanted¡ didn¡¯t think it was a bother at all¡ but I wasn¡¯t strong enough to say that¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
Huh? It¡¯s like I can¡¯t quite figure it out, but the words just seem toe out naturally.
¡°I knew too little about the world¡ about war¡ about races¡ so¡after learning everything¡I¡¯ll say it again¡ I don¡¯t think it was a bother¡¡±
¡°¡¡ you¡¡±
¡°This is the one thing I must never bend on! Because Mr. Aka ¡ was the first person to see me as myself¡ a friend!¡±
¡°¡¡ I don¡¯t really understand¡ but¡ I see¡¡±
¡°Ruaaaaahh, ¡¾Great Demon Head-Butt¡¿!!
¡°So far¡ it doesn¡¯t seem to be a lie¡ ¡¾Blue Knee¡¿!¡±
Mr. Aka¡¡ I¡¯m not the same person I was back then. Even with my current self, is it not enough?
Maybe I¡¯m not there yet. But I¡¯ve be stronger. I¡¯ve seen a lot of things. I¡¯ve been through a lot.
I will continue to get stronger.
¡°That, brute¡ Ca, Captain Aonii¡¯s knee kick¡ no¡¡±
¡°H, hey¡ their most dangerous guy went stupid and got that battered¡ then the rest will¡¡±
¡°Ah¡ Captain Aonii! We¡¯ll be able ta kill that guy if we surround him and beat him up!¡±
¡°Okay, now¨D¨D¨D¨Dpugya!?¡±
¡°Ah¡ Captain Aonii!? Why don we just¡ we¡¯re Captain Aonii¡¯s¡¡±
If someoneins about something¡ I¡¯ll make the whole world my enemy¡
¡°Don¡¯t get in the way! You think I can¡¯t kill this scum by myself?! Ha, ha, ha¡¡±
¡°W, why are ya being stubborn!? W, we¡¯re not going ta say anything publicly ta embarrass you!?¡±
¡¡ Hmm?
¡°¡¡ Ah? Ah? Don¡¯t¡ ah?¡±
Somehow, I noticed that the ogres were arguing with each other.
I was about to head-butt him again, but there was no sign of himing from the other side, so I stopped involuntarily, sensing that things were different from usual.
¡°Dealing with that crazy guy and sticking ta his stubbornness, there¡¯s no need for the Captain ta be stubborn too!¡±
Ah¡were the other ogres trying to help Aonii out? Well, at that moment, my sister and brother wouldn¡¯t stay quiet either, but Aonii refused.
Apparently, Aonii was also stubborn¡ such¡¡stubbornness¡¡
¡°¡¡ what the hell do you have to be stubborn for?¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
¡°Is it some boring pride about being insulted by a human brat, or is it about the pride of being an ogre, even if you insult Mr. Aka?¡±
It was a simple question. I thought that he would try to provoke me and lure me into a more favorable arena, because he couldn¡¯t beat me in a proper fight, but if that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s certainly better to surround me with his minions and defeat me.
But Aonii refused.
And in the first ce, Aonii was only using his right knee in the sh with me.
It was so discolored and swollen that it was already falling apart.
He could have used his other leg, tricked me by using both hands, or used any number of sneaky moves.
¡°I¡¯m here trying to prove that my feelings for Mr. Aka aren¡¯t just talk. But what about you, bastard? Is there a reason why you¡¯re so stubborn to break your knee and talk down to someone you don¡¯t like?¡±
Why was Aonii ignoring the words of his subordinates, and going along with this foolish honesty?
Suddenly, I started to wonder about such things¡ but¡¡
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Besa? Has it suddenly be so difficult¡ that you finally decided to try something with words, Besa?¡±
Aonii did not answer.
¡°Well¡ I just hate him and it makes me mad, besa¡ humans, too¡er¡ you, darn idiot¡¡±
¡°¡¡ I see. In other words, you won¡¯t say anything unless we settle this.¡±
¡°Fu~¡ that¡¯s right, besa.¡±
That¡¯s fine. Of course, it would be a waste to end this in a lousy state, so might as well¡
¡°Then, just break down and fall, Great Demon Head-Butt!¡±
¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s going to be squashed!¡±
I¡¯m going to end this once and for all.
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Brother!¡±
Well, in any case, I probably won¡¯t be able to do anything about other remaining ogres¡ Espie ¡¡ yer¡¡ Chieftain and the others, the rest is up to you¡
The rest¡¡
¡°Damn, what is the Captain thinking¡ not good¡¡ if the Captain falls¡ guh¡ no choice¡ no one¡¯s watching now¡ okay, use the magic crystal ta call the main army!¡ Main Army! This is the Aonii Squad. Big Trouble¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
[Oh, Aonii Squad, just in time, I was just about to contact you.]
¡°No, we¡¯ll talkter. We¡¯re in a bad way right now¡ there¡¯s a terribly strong guy¡ almost wiped out the squad¡ Captain Aonii is also currently fighting¡ but if things continue like this¡¡±
[What? Captain Aonii? I see¡¡ is it such a formidable enemy? In fact, ording to the Bockmati, it turns out that there may be an elf with considerable power in the elven settlement that you went to hunt¡ after all, was it true?]
¡°What? No¡.. that is¡¡ besides, the one making trouble now isn the elves, it¡¯s ¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
[But, don¡¯t worry. In fact a little while ago, he just wanted to check on things¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D]
For now, I¡¯ll defeat this guy, then let Espie and the others handle the rest, and when I wake up, I¡¯ll listen to Aonii¡¯s story.
[General Hakuki is headed there in person.]
Chapter 328: Intermission (Demon King) â‘¢
Chapter 328 ¨C Intermission (Demon King) ¢Û
Indeed, if memory serves, it was around this period.
¨D¨DI heard that there was a death in the Hakuki Army¡¯s odd great hundred¡¡ hmm¡¡ not death in battle¡¡ an execution as responsibility for the failure of the mission and the destruction of the squad¡¡ Aonii ¡¡ I have only heard the name
In those days, reports of deaths in battle were routine, and even if it was the death of a unitmander, it was nothing unusual.
However, even so, if among the hundreds of casualties reported each day there was a reasonably well-known name, it would certainly catch my attention.
Such was the case that day.
While I was looking at the pile of letters that had been brought to the office of the Demon King¡¯s Castle, I had a meeting with the three of the Six Supremacy who were present in the castle.
¨D¨DHahahahaha, these are the ones who were carrying out the request from the Bockmati, Great Demon King. Still, they couldn¡¯t even run errands for humans¡¡ those guys riding high on being selected by themanders for an elite force of the one hundred strongest warriors¡¡ pathetic~, but super entertaining~
¨D¨DParipi, such a disrespectful attitude toward the Great Demon King. Shall I cut off thy head and feed it to the fish of the Demon Realm?
¨D¨DDa~, as rigid as ever~, Sis Jamdi¡¯el. Hey, don¡¯t you think so? The old man ¡°La¡¯iphant¡± ~?
¨D¨DNo, Jamdi¡¯el has a point, zou. As one of the Six Supremacy, you should be more aware of your status, zou. Hakuki and Gouda are on an expedition¡¡ under these circumstances, Norja suddenly takes a vacation¡¡ now, we three who remain in the homnd must support the Great Demon King and lead the Demon King Army, zou.
¨D¨DAh~ah, this old man was a stiff one, too. Ah~Ah, without little Norja we don¡¯t have much to talk about~¡¡ no, our views don¡¯t match. It¡¯s just funny. Hihahahahaha
At that time, I only talked about that much, and immediately turned the list of casualties to the next page.
However, I did see it.
Aonii¡¯s name.
Mission failure. The destruction of the squad. In other words, tis what it is.
¡°Urugaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
¡°Gugaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
In this era, there were too many deaths.
I am unable to keep track of everyone who risked their lives to fight for the Demon Realm and the Demon King Army.
At the very least, all I could do was to read the names of the dead and then etch them into my memory.
I do not even know how each of them lived their lives, what circumstances led them to join the Demon King Army, and what battles they fought to the end.
Aonii is one of them.
A warrior who is willing to risk his body, his life, and his soul to fight with the disciple that I am raising with great care.
However, I know how this will end.
He will take responsibility for the failure of the mission and the destruction of the squad, and he will be executed.
I never even checked the details of the mission.
Tis because I left all matters of the Bockmati to Hakuki.
However, I never expected to learn the details of the mission and grasp the history now.
¡ºAonii¡¡ you will be defeated here¡¡ your mission to capture the elves will fail, and Hakuki will force you to take responsibility for it¡¡ you fought for the Demon King Army and contributed to the Demon King Army, even earning the title of Demon Heaven Wrath Great Hundred¡¡ yet of all things ¡¡ you were defeated by the disciple that I raised ¡¡.¡»
I cannot say that to a child.
Should the child, who is still naive in heart and spirit, learn of it, he will feel responsible.
Due to his own actions, even though he should not be in this era in the first ce¡ and¡¡.
But tis a responsibility that need not be.
Therefore, the child may fight as he pleases. He has reasons that are not negotiable.
¡ºAonii, at the very least, I shall bear witness to your history¡¡ of how you had a magnificent and fierce sh with the disciple of the Great Demon King, Tre¡¯ainar. Therefore, fight to the fullest so that you may leave no regrets. That is all I can do for you now¡¡ apologies ¡¡.¡»
I can only take responsibility and apologize.
¡°Heh, at first you were acting cool even when you got mad, but now you¡¯re being loud, unseemly and persistent¡¡ okay, enough, just give it a rest. I¡¯m not losing anyway!¡±
¡°What¡¡ are you talking about¡¡ I can still go!¡±
However, that being said¡¡ this one named Aonii¡¡ even the child seems to have noticed.
An execution unit that fulfills the requests of the Bockmati. Which also includes the inhumane.
The ones who perform such tasks are limited to those who have killed their hearts and those who can do such things with impunity.
And those who ndered and ridiculed Aka were the ones who could do such things. They had those eyes.
However, this Aonii¡¯s eyes are not so rotten. Perhaps he carried out his assigned task with a deadened heart.
As he became absorbed in his sh with the child, he began to reveal his true nature.
He is a proud warrior with a passionate, straight heart.
Hence why the child can throw himself into the fight without any doubt, only head-butts and knee-kicks.
And even when his subordinate ogres attempted to interfere, Aonii repelled them.
However, in that case, against Aka.
¡°I told you! If things are like this, I still won¡¯t approve of you!¡±
No longer does this Aonii think about defeating the child or victory. Tis not where Aonii¡¯s goal lies.
It appears he is testing the child. Trying to judge the child, with expectations on him.
¡°Haa, haa¡ if it¡¯s¡ discipline¡ then¡ I¡¯ll finish it with this! ¡¡ Mr. Machio¡¡ I¡¯ll borrow your technique.¡±
¡°Nuh?!¡±
Oh? Until now, the child had only been charging in a straight line with a low stance, but this was the first time he was showing this stance.
Crouching down on one knee with his hands on the ground.
I see, the start that Machio used in the Cacretale Tournament, which exploded the umted power over a short distance.
Magical Crouching Start?
¡°Heh, talking about being a nuisance¡ you¡¯re no different¡¡ are you going to start butting your head at me even more now that we¡¯ve reached this stage? Take one more knee and your face will get so messed up that no one can recognize you anymore. And yet, you¡¯re not right in the head. Why¡¡ would someone like you¡¡ be friends with Aka?¡±
¡°Well¡¡ on the contrary¡¡ I have my doubts too. Howe you¡¯re so ¡¡ gutsy and cool.¡±
¡°Nu ¡¡¡±
¡°Why, are you¡¡ and Mr. Aka.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care! I don¡¯t care about that scum anymore! He¡¯s dead¡ that¡¯s all.¡±
As I thought, his words were untrue. The child seems to know this.
There must be some circumstances or reasons behind the actions of this Aonii.
However, this must be settled still the same.
¡°Okay¡¡ I¡¯ll destroy it and then make you vomit! Let¡¯s go! ¡¾Great Demon Dash Diving Head-Butt¡¿!!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡ if you¡¯re not all talk¡¡ then I¡¯ll really try!¡±
Now, the finale ¡¡ Huh!?
¡ºNuh!?¡»
What? Suddenly, even in my spirit body, I felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
No, what¡¡ tis not¡¡ now, I sensed the presence of someone approaching here from a little farther away.
No, could it¡¡ tis not¡¡ this much¡¡ it can be only one person.
¡ºI, I never¡¡¡»
At this point, Aonii and the others were defeated, routed, and to return to the main camp¡¡ or so I thought¡¡ was I wrong?
This one is said to have survived the war. However, he should only know the child as Hiro¡¯s son.
So, they have not met¡¡ tis what I thought¡¡ however, in retrospect, Koujiro and Norja as well¡¡ could it be, him as well?
Will they meet here?
No, but¡¡ in Cacretale, Jamdi¡¯el was more or less connected to him¡¡ at that time, about the child¡¡ no, I know not.
Even if he didn¡¯t know the child as Earth Lagann, did he and the child meet here?
I cannot fathom what will happen to this ce should that ur¡¡
¡ºChild!¡»
However, my words do not reach the child now.
With all his might, he mmed into Aonii¡¯s knee, utterly destroying Aonii¡¯s right knee, and causing Aonii to fall to the ground.
¡°Kuh¡¡ what a blow¡¡ damn¡¡ no matter how I feel, my knee ¡¡ it¡¯s shattered, besa¡¡.¡±
¡°Heh¡¡ whoa¡¡ did you see that? Me¡.. and Mr. Aka¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D.¡±
Having witnessed that, the child copsed with a bloodstained smile on his face.
Unaware of that one¡¯s impending presence¡¡
Chapter 329: Intermission (Psychic Maiden) â‘¡
Chapter 329 ¨C Intermission (Psychic Maiden) ¢Ú
He told me not to interfere, but I almost lost control many times, but before I knew it, all I could do was watch Big brother.
Big brother kept banging his head against that ogre¡¯s attack until the end.
He said that the reason he went that far had something to do with Big brother¡¯s ogre friend, which neither I nor yer knew about.
It may be true that Big brother has an ogre friend. But if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m jealous of that friend.
It means that Big brother loves his friend so much that he would do this.
¡°Tch¡¡ I can¡¯t move¡¡.my right knee¡¡¡±
¡°Captain, get a hold of yerself! But¡ that crazy human finally stopped moving! Also, we¡ will take care of the elves!¡±
¡°¡¡ ya will do nothing, besa.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°No more¡¡ don defile my pride any more than this¡¡ I can¡¯t bear any more shame, besa ¡¡.¡±
¡°Ca, Captain?¡±
¡°Oh, I¡.. lost, besa. We should retreat from here, besa¡¡ well, there¡¯s a chance that we won¡¯t be able ta do that, besa¡¡
Big brother was sleeping, but the other ogres were trying to do something.
yer and I thought that if anything went wrong¡¡ but that blue ogre stopped them.
If you just run away, we can¡¯t really¡¡ uun¡¡ that¡¯s no good too¡¡
¡°Chieftain, before us is an opportunity! The enemy numbers have fallen and their leader in such state. Now is the time to strike!¡±
At that moment, other elves were whispering to the chieftain while holding weapons.
¡°Dear, this vige has been uncovered by the forces of the Demon King Army. Should they escape here¡¡ the next encounter¡ shall be even more dire¡.¡±
¡°I¡¯m aware¡¡ I understand that¡¡¡±
Un¡¡ That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t know what Big brother would feel about it, but it happens all the time.
Wiping out the retreating army from behind¡¡it happened many times when I was in the Allied Army.
If you think about the future, Mr. Chieftain, Mrs. Yitea, and the other elves will do the same.
¡°Young Lady¡¡ I¡¯m sorry, ¡¡.¡±
¡°Aonii¡¡ hey¡¡ no way¡ is Aka ¨C¡°
At that time, the blue ogre seemed to know everything, and was smiling as if he had given up.
Then, he apologized once to the captive Dark Elf.
Seeing that, the dark elf too¡¡¡¡
¡°Huh!? Huh?¡±
What? Suddenly¡¡ brrr, cold, ¡¡!
¡°Wh, at? ¡¡ Espie! This is ¡¡.¡±
¡°U, un.¡±
yer seemed to have noticed it too.
What? Did it suddenly get really cold?
Is somethinging? Something ising! Scary? Scary!
¡°¡¡ Hah¡¡¡±
¡°Dear?¡±
¡°¡¡ troubling indeed¡¡ the next adversary may not only prove mightier¡¡ but rather, this seems a tad too otherworldly¡¡ ¡°
The Chieftain also smiled bitterly and looked at the direction of what wasing.
¡°Nuh, this is¡no way!¡±
¡°Wh¡.. what¡¡ is this¡¡ intense pressure¡¡.¡±
Both the blue ogre and the dark elf have noticed.
Something is¡¡
¡°Huh, dragons, flee this ce!¡±
At that moment, the Chieftain suddenly shouted¡¡
¡°Ga? Gahyu¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeehh !!?? ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±
One of the five fire dragons lost its head¡¡
¡°¡¡ Peh¡¡ I¡¯m hungry¡¡ this is not very good¡¡ I can already breathe fire, so I don¡¯t need this flesh and blood¡¡
And then someone suddenly appeared, holding the fire dragon¡¯s head¡ and eating it? But he immediately spat it out and threw the head to the side¡¡
¡°Well, it looks like ¡ you¡¯ve gotten into quite a spot of trouble¡¡ Aonii. And I don¡¯t know that they even had one of Norja¡¯s subordinates.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°But don¡¯t be ashamed of your defeat. It was my fault for letting you guys go on your own this time. Therefore, I will forgive you for your failure this time as long as I can make use of you next time.¡±
Oh¡¡
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
Something¡¡ is here.
It¡¯s big¡¡ no. bigger than normal people, but it¡¯s not that bigpared to that blue ogre or any of the other ogres. His muscles aren¡¯t as stuffy as the other ogres.
About the size of a normal person? It¡¯s like a human being. He was just a little taller, and there were more muscr people in the Allied Forces.
The face looked ¡¡ a little¡¡ like a young person. But. not human.
Four horns grew on his head¡¡ long hair, skin, face, everything was pure white¡¡ I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know.
It¡¯s scary.
Scary, scary, scary!
This guy¡¡ more than anyone I¡¯ve ever met¡¡ than Hiro¡¡ than Gouda¡¡
¡°It¡¯s¡¡ the Great General¡¡ why ¡¡?¡±
¡°Inai¡¯s request¡¡ after that, I heard a lot of information about the elves, and I thought this might be a tad much for you lot¡¡ Hmm¡¡ there are some unexpected people here¡¡ Huh? Little girlie.¡±
He looked at me!
¡°It¡¯s¡ it¡¯s the Great General¡¡ The Great General ¡¡¡±
¡°Why, the Great General himself¡¡ but we¡¯re saved!¡±
¡°Oh, with this¡¡ no, but we¡¯re in a bad situation ¡¡ aren¡¯t we¡¡
Great General? Ogre? Great General? That¡¯s¡ uun, not now, if I don¡¯t do something, we¡¯ll be killed!
¡°Now¡¡ elves¡ wild dragons and beasts¡¡ humans¡¡ all you lot¡¡ have you lived a life where you can die without regrets?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeeehh!!???¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°If you have regrets, I won¡¯t kill you, I won¡¯t capture you, I will eat you and have you live on as my flesh and blood.¡±
Ah¡¡ why¡¡ everyone¡sat down, trembling¡¡
Can¡¯t we win? No¡.. I don¡¯t want to die¡¡ No, I have to do it!
¡°¡¾Fluffy Panic¡¿!¡±
¡°Hoh.¡±
I¡¯ll use my power to make a mess!
Shake him with my levitation power and make him faint.
¡°Hmm¡¡ Psychokinesis ¡¡ is this a field that the ancients discovered by chance during their research into magical technology?¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
Wh, what? A flick?
I tried to spin him around and mess him up with my power, but was it blown away by something that I couldn¡¯t see?
¡°Poor thing. Born with an unusual power, lifted up by the Seven Heroes despite having no strength¡¡ I¡¯ll put you to rest right away.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
What? The white ogre split his arm and started swinging them around¡¡ Huh!?
¡°Ah, uh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!¡±
What? Amazing power! Wind!? Typhoon!?
¡°Don¡¯t try to manipte me¡¡ just y with dolls like girlies should¡¡±
He just waved his arms around a little, but I got blown away!
¡°E, Espie!? Wha¡¡ Hey, what have you done to the child? Espie, Espie!¡±
¡°What be that, that white ogre?¡±
¡°Curses, a new ogre appeared¡ what is this creature?¡±
Ouch¡I got blown away, hit someone¡¯s house, and punched a hole in the wall¡ ouch! That hurt!
¡°G, General¡¡ that kid ¡¡.¡±
¡°That was Espie of the Seven Heroes. What is it? You were fighting without knowing that, Aonii.¡±
¡°Eh!? Seven¡¡ Seven Heroes!? No, no, I was fighting¡¡ there ¡¡.¡±
¡°Hmm? Oh, that one lying there¡ huh? Is that one¡ human too? I don¡¯t know why Espie and humans are here¡¡ but anyway, are they from the Allied Forces?¡±
Oh, no! I don¡¯t know, but that strong white ogre will kill Big brother! No, definitely not Big brother¡¡
¡°¡¾Shining Ogre Buster de¡¿!!¡±
Ah¡¡
¡°Ah¡¡ Great General!¡±
yer! He did it! yer was secretly about to attack the white ogre from behind with arge sword.
He can¡¯t avoid it anymore¡
¡°¡¡¡¡ Hmm.¡±
¡°¡¡ Wh¡¡ at?¡±
No way¡¡
¡°Wha, u, uh¡¡ uwaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!¡±
yer¡¯s sword struck the white ogre¡¯s neck, but the sword broke.
Also, there was a lot of blooding out of the hand that yer was holding the sword with, and the hand also ¡¡ made a cracking sound¡¡
¡°Iron-Making Magic¡¡ this, too, is unusual¡¡ so you¡¯re the Genius Hunter Gouda was going on about?¡±
¡°Uh, uh, oh¡¡ ugh, my arm¡¡.¡±
¡°Broken, is it? That¡¯s what happens when you attack me with all your might. Don¡¯t aim for my head, just go fish in the river like boys do.¡±
No, he¡¯ll kill Big brother and even yer too.
No, he¡¯ll kill everyone.
I¡¯m going to do it!
¡°Uu, uuuuuuuuuuu~~~~! ¡¾Fluffy World¡¿!!¡±
I won¡¯t show mercy.
¡°Wh, what¡¯s with all our weapons!?¡±
¡°Wow, bows and arrows, swords¡¡ floating!¡±
¡°Ah, My metal rod ¡¡.¡±
¡°Hey, wait! The rocks in the forest¡¡ the big trees ¡¡ more and more are gathering high up in the sky!¡±
Weapons and nature are going to be hammered all at once!
This guy just can¡¯t be normal.
¡°Espie¡¡ eh¡¡ Now!¡±
Ah, while everyone was looking up, yer, who was crouching, pulled Big brother who had fallen down¡¡
¡°Espie¡¡! Mine too! Iron-make, Unlimited de!¡±
¡°Nice one, yer!¡±
yer dragged Big brother along and made a bunch of swords together¡¡ un!
¡°All at once, together~~~!¡±
¡°Oh, do it!¡±
I gathered the weapons that yer made for me in the sky, mixed them up, made a big lump, and threw it all at once at the white ogre.
I won¡¯t involve Big brother either. So I don¡¯t need to hold back.
¡°Get crushed! ¡¾Fluffy Meteorite¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm¡¡¡±
What? Are you smiling? What, you think you can afford to? Smile while you can¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Far inferior to Hiro and the rest¡¡ after all, the Bethreal Kingdom could only get the title of Seven Heroes¡ by throwing money around.¡±
¡¡ huh?
¡°Still, it¡¯s nostalgic¡¡ even though it was made from trash, I enjoy ying ball¡¡ this one¡¯s a little deformed.¡±
No way¡¡ huh?
¡°Wh, what!? Ridiculous ¡¡¡±
¡°Th, that¡¡ mountain-like mass¡¡ h, he¡¡.¡±
M, my, full-powered ¡¾Fluffy Meteorite¡¿¡¡ caught with one hand¡¡
¡°As an aside¡¡ there are people stronger than me in this world. But even so¡¡ the Great Demon King¡¡ even the Dragon King of Hell have not been able to destroy me.¡±
¡°Ah¡ ah¡ uh¡ ah¡¡¡±
¡°Did you think you could do something about it by raking up the trash that was lying around?¡±
No way¡¡ that just now¡¡ was the strongest I can use¡¡ and yet¡¡ it¡¯s not a bother at all¡¡
¡°But it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve remembered my childhood. On a whim¡¡ I¡¯ll make an offering to Kaguya, who sleeps on the moon.¡±
And what will he do? While holding my ¡¾Fluffy Meteorite¡¿¡ huh?
¡°Nun!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Wh, wh, wh, wh, he, threw it!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
A throw!? He threw my ¡¾Fluffy Meteorite¡¿, which was so big and heavy, into the sky¡¡
¡°¡¡ Hmm? Hehe¡¡ It burned up in the atmosphere. Well, okay. If the trash really reached the moon, Vasr might get pissed ande flying at me. Kaguya¡¡ I¡¯ll make some other offering to your grave.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡ Ugh¡¡ Ahh
Hopeless¡¡ can¡¯t win¡ b¡¡ Big brother¡¡
¡°For now, first of all¡¡ I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re here, but it¡¯s convenient. Let¡¯s finish you lot off here¡ Espie¡ and yer. I don¡¯t need your abilities¡¡ if you want to live on, I¡¯ll eat you.¡±

Chapter 330: Intermission (Hunter Kid)
Chapter 330 Intermission (Hunter Kid)
Uoooooh, Fluffy World! Fluffy Dancing!
Infinity de Cyclone!
Normally, I would havepeted with Espie to show Brother my good side, but now were both struggling to resist.
But
Katsu!!!
Huh!?
Even though I created countless des and Espie manipted them and fired them at the opponent from all directions, all of the iron des were shattered with a single yell.
Are you done ying with toys?
After fighting with Norja, even if only a little, I had a good taste of the power of the Six Supremacy.
Im no match for them right now.
I knew that. I knew it, but even with Espie, there was such a difference between us?
Whats more, the opponent didnt seem to be taking us seriously at all.
Hah, hah, hah guh
As a Hunter, I had defeated many monsters and bounties, and I was more or less confident in my own abilities.
But that confidence was shattered. Ever since I met Brother, things like this have been happening.
But this time, its on apletely different level.
This
Then, either die and be rotting flesh or be eaten and be my flesh and bloodwhich is better?
This is the strongest monster of the Six Supremacy. Hakuki, the White Fiendish Emperor.
Ah ah S, yer!?
Its no use regardless of injuries or anything like that my heart is already I cant move I cant resist I cant stand up Im going to be killed.
Oh ugh, ah.
Killed!
I dont think Im afraid of dying right now in fact, there have been many times when I have yed with my life, even thinking that it would be easier to die yet Im scared
B.. Brothe
No way I dont want to die
Come now choose
If not for hunger, y not, nor consume.
Oh?
Huh?
And despoil not the forests, nor the mountains, nor the sanctity of nature futile counsel, for those who ravage the world and disrupt the bnce of life do not heed it.
Suddenly, something hit my back huh?
Kukeeeeeee!
Eh?! A, a bird!?
A huge monster bird grabbed my back and flew straight into the sky huh?
yer!? Huh? Why?
What happened? Was I attacked and kidnapped by a bird? No, something is different.
On the contrary, its like the bird just saved me
Garururururur!!
Gaaaaaaaahhh!!
Grrrrrrrrr!!
Huh!? What surrounding Hakuki, wolves, wild grizzlies, fire dragons, red panthers, and other ferocious beasts and monsters appeared one after another from the forests surrounding the vige.
In addition to the monster bird that had me in its grasp, there were also giant birds with sharp ws also appeared one after another.
This is .
W-why? There are a lot of animals,
Huh!? What is this?
Wh, at?
Me, Espie, the demon named Aonii, the dark elf, and other ogres were confused by the sudden appearance of a swarm of beasts and monsters.
This is
Oh~~, truly it weighs upon me
Hou
Was that him
Dear!
Chieftain!?
The Chieftain surrounded Hakuki with many animals and monsters.
That person he said he could understand thenguage of animals, but could something like this be possible?
But
Birds, while time lingers, swiftly gather everyone to
Did you think you could buy time or something?
Huh!?
The next moment, a sh of white light spread across my field of vision.
I was blinded for a moment.
But in that instant, the bird that was holding me suddenly burst into pieces.
Inais report raised the possibility that there was a monster tamer among the elves like Peach Boy, the legendary swordsman who was the natural enemy of the ogres, and it looks like its true.
Dear.
Of course, while they may be a threat to the war and my men, to me they are nothing more than a bunch of lower races who have lost their wild pride and their fangs.
And its not just the birds.
Even if, as in the legend, you bring Cerberus and the Monkey Gods with you, they are no match for me!
Dozens of the gathered animals and monsters turned into pieces of flesh in an instant, without even a resistance or a roar, turning the vige into a sea of blood
Ah.
Being surrounded by so many numbers doesnt mean anything to Hakuki.
Even the dragons and animals that were still alive have retreated instead of attacking him in anger.
They are afraid. In the face of such overwhelming power, it is hopeless.
Naturally Its true that there are a lot of animals and monsters, but with the way things are, even with me and Espie we cant do anything
So? What will it be? Will you be killed? Will you be eaten? Or will you be rounded up likembs? The request was to kill all but the young females if they resisted.
If you are caught, you wont die for the time being.
Yet, a day maye when death grants sweet release yes? Huh forgive me creatures of the wild
Hmm?
What? The color of the Chieftains eyes has changed?
By my doing forgive me I have caused you all to perish yet this one, at least.
Are you prepared to die and do something yourself? Hou, what else can you do but be a monster tamer?
Given the circumstance I must, for now, struggle onward.
Will the Chieftain himself fight? Certainly, I have a feeling that there is something about the Chieftain.
Unlike the other elves, I didnt think I could see or understand his power.
But
I see its not just any elf after all like Jamdiel, who was a heretic among the Seraph tribes something that the ancients of Shiznautmy set up through atavism but so what then.
Its impossible. Hell be killed!
Even if I were to survive I cannot allow my wife or anyone else to face such indignity.
Dear!?
Everyone, right now
And the Chieftain knows it too. He knows he cant win.
But, at least trying to let everyone escape even us and hes going to stall by himself!
Are you ready? Okay After Im done with you, Ill eat you along with Espie and yer, and turn you all into my flesh and blood.
But it wont work. Such a monster cant even be stalled
Whose sister and brother are you trying to eat, perverted bastaaaaard?!
Ah
Ah!?
At that moment, in Hakukis blind spot, who was about to attack the Chieftain, Brother suddenly got up and delivered an uppercut.
Big brother!?
Brother!?
Oh, ooh, young man, despite your dire state, you are safe gods.
Brother woke up.
And then he punched Hakuki in the face no..
Guh, h, ha hand .
Brother who hit him had a distorted face Hakuki, on the other hand, waspletely unfazed. On the contrary, he was mocking us!
Oooh, m, my fist is crushed how hard is he, this guy
Brother was smiling wryly while holding down his fists.
I get it it was the same for me when I shed at him with a sword made of iron, I couldnt get a single scratch on Hakuki.
In front of that strong body, I was the one who took damage
Hehe, attacking me with bare fists, thats quite the nerve hes got. Whats more, that the bones of the fist he used arent broken shows some impressive training. Thats a pretty ugly look, but its no wonder he drove Aonii to such a state.
Yguh, astard .
But so restless. I didnt expect him to attack right after regaining consciousness without taking stock of the situation.
Shut it what a talkative ogre I dont know whats going on but who is this guy hes just as strange as Aonii Huh? Huh? What was that?
Brother, hes so battered that if you poke him a little, he would fall over Whats more, he doesnt even know who hes dealing with?
What!? Really!? This guy!? Wait a minute, what?!
?
Huh? But he was surprised on his own talking to himself whats wrong with him? Did he notice Hakuki?
Well, either way
B, Big brother, dont! He is on a different level! That guy is Hakuki, the strongest of the Six Supremacy!
Brother, dont fight!
Either way, theres no way Brother can win with the state he was in.
Ha, ha, ha yes thats how I look at it. Ive just heard about it too but whats with meeting another one of the six now? Jamdiel, Paripi, Norja enough, Ive had it with the Supremacy.
Hmm? Have you met all three?
Besides even if hes great, even if he is a legend even if hes the strongest in the Six Supremacy even if hes stronger than the current Hero Hiro in the end, hes ultimately weaker than the Great Demon King Treainar! Well, I have to deal with it, I guess!
Oh? This one has pretty good eyes. Whats your name?
Brother, wont you run away? On the contrary, are you going to fight in such a state?
But its impossible! At least we
Nuungh!!
Gaha
Hmm?
And at that moment.
Brother!?
B, Brother was hit from behind.
It waspletely unexpected, and Brother fell to the ground again with a bang.
And it was not Hakuki.
Whats wrong Aonii.
Ha, ha, ha
It wouldnt matter if you let it go on as it was, but whats going on?
The one who hit Brother from behind and knocked him unconscious again was the blue ogre named Aonii who stood on one leg.
How cowardly. While admitting defeat, how dare he!
This is the only way besa
Hmm?
Great General this guy only this one you cant kill him right now I cant let you, besa.
What?

Chapter 331: Intermission (Blue Orge)
Chapter 331 Intermission (Blue Orge)
Aka. Really, Ive always found ya frustrating, besa.
Ya, really, were a mess. If ya put yer mind ta it, ya could have earned the same title of Great Hundred, just like us, besa.
But ya suffered more from the war itself than from the title, than from yer military exploits, or from yer achievements, besa.
Hey, stop iiiiiit! Why, why are ya doing this
I couldnt just say, Its war, and leave it at that, besa.
It was frustrating, besa.
Wh, why? How could everyone do such a terrible thing!?
Why? Because if we dont do that, we will be attacked, besa.
Its not just about killing. If ya just killed them, their family and friends wille ta take revenge.
They might evene after ya, me, our friends, and our family, besa.
Thats war, besa.
If they surrender, thats enough! Aonii, father, mother, and Miss Lal whats wrong with everyone?
If we can strike terror into the hearts of the humans with our overwhelming power and intense cruelty so that they will never be able ta resist us again, we will be able ta win the war in the future, besa.
Ya are naive. Too naive. Thats not kindness, besa.
Even we and humans may be able ta understand each other if we talk ta each other! Yall never know until you try!
Talking ta humans? Getting along? Thats not possible, besa.
Were at war. Dont have such naive dreams or delusions, besa.
Aonii. Do you realize what you are doing to me?
Ha, ha youngdyyyyyyyyyy!!
Aka. Yer just too weak of heart, besa.
Huh?
The rope, there ya go, besa!
A, Aonii?
Hurry up, get them all out of here, besa! Ill hold them off!
Wh at?
The future of my fellow ogres, the many demons living in the Demon Realm, and the children who will live in the next era rests on their shoulders, besa.
I cant run away just because Im having a hard time, besa.
If I dont do it, well all be done for, besa.
Someone has ta do it so I had no choice but ta do it, besa.
Espie of the Seven Heroes!
Huh!?
Take yer brother gather all the Elves, stick ta the youngdy right now, and escape somewhere via warp, besa!
Eh?
So, no matter how cruel it may be, we cant show mercy ta humans, besa.
I didnt want ta have anything ta do with the scum of the Bockmati Family, but I still wanted ta use the organization ta weaken the humans from within, besa.
Its all for the sake of the Demon Realm, besa. Theres no need for mercy, besa.
Hey what are you nning to do? Aonii. Even Larouiph are you going to betray the Demon King Army?
At the very least ta the man who proved ta me that he wasnt lying ta the friend of my spoiled younger brother at least some sincerity thats all, besa.
What?
And yet, when ya ran away, I was already fed up, besa.
No matter how scared ya were, I believed that ya were the kind of guy who could act when the time came, besa.
But ya betrayed us and ran away, besa.
Im sorry, General Hakuki, but but Ill never let ya through here, besaaa!!
Even if ya, who ran away, live in the Demon Realm and avoid the public eye, even if ya live on the Surface World, there is no ce for ya in this world.
Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!!
At the very least, I reported that ya had been killed in action, so that ya would not be pursued as a deserter, for old times sake.
I decided not ta tell the youngdy the truth and let her memories of ya remain as they were, besa.
A, Aonii!?
Youngdy, go, besa! And when he wakes up, listen ta all he has ta say, besa!
Hey, what are you talking about
GO, NOW, BESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
And Aka, I thought yad take care of yerself after that, besa.
We are not together anymore I dont care what happens ta ya I really thought so, besa.
I never thought a man of your stature would rebel against me I dont know whats going on but well
Oooooh! Ga, AAAAAAAAH, hi, gah!
Hey, what are you doing, Captain Aonii? W, why, Great General!? Please stop!
Hey, Aka ya know the whole time I was with ya what Ive been hoping for
Espie of the Seven Heroes! Bring them all to me now! Hurry!
B, but .
For once just for now, trust me! You want to save your brother!
F-Fu-, Fluffy Collection!
What I hoped was for the war ta quickly end in my time I couldnt be honest, but I pushed the youngdy ta make Aka and the youngdy a couple, ogre and dark elf, transcending their races Ill be a champion and get a pretty wife, so that my kids and yer kids would y together and be best friends
Everyone, lets go forth as well! The vige must be abandoned!
Dear, b, but!
Make haste!
Kidding the dream I first held on ta I realized Id forgotten until now, besa.
Aka, its just like ya said, besa. I have changed, too, besa.
The war has changed me, besa.
A, Aonii
Youngdy, listen carefully think about how you want ta live in the future and live again, the way ya wish ta live, besa! So goooooooo!
Eh! auoiaa ooe enoa, Medium-Distance Transfer Magic, Tachzi!!
Aka, ya ran away, but ya hadnt changed, besa.
And ya found it, right, besa?
I I get it. You were all massive, frighteningly strong, and yet he was kinder than anyone else an ogre whose heart was so much purer than ours!!
How did ya meet him, besa? The real thing.
So, at the very least
I thought he would soon regret his mistake and get in line, but twisting off his arms and legs gently hitting him just enough that he could feel pain without losing consciousness, he still clung desperately to me, and did he really put his life on the line Aonii. Even if he is wrong, his fighting spirit is magnificent. As expected, he is one of the hundred strong I recognized.
Hah ka hah hah
I didnt let them escape because of your stalling. I dont know what happened, but a man like you You, who have contributed so much to the Demon King Army in the past, have only been spared because of the determination to persevere to the end, even if you are in this state let me at least ask you whats going on?
How am Ipared ta ya, besa?
Ive changed, and I was wrong, wasnt I?
I was wrong wasnt I. besa?
Hmm? Yes thats right. It cant be right to rebel against me, can it?
Was I was the Great General was the Great Demon King was the Demon Kings army, wrong, besa?
Nhyah, even the humans are wrong.
Was the Bockmati Family wrong, besa?
Was the Hero the Allied Forces was everybody wrong, besa?
Nhyah
No whats wrong is
Hmm?
Ogres demons, humans everyone is always at war!!
Those guys keeping the war going, besa !!.
Ah I wasnt scared of dying Aka if only I had heard that ya had found the real thing and that ya had be friends with humans but I cant wish for that anymore, besa I I couldnt do anything when ya were suffering, I didnt do anything.
Im not disappointed in ya for running away, but I couldnt even go after ya and talk to ya right away, I didnt have the right but
Thisst will makes no sense, but the spirit was conveyed. Im not interested enough to dig out the truth of the words at the very least, live on as my flesh and blood farewell Aonii.
Aka ya, together with the youngdy I would like ta meet just one more time

TN: Hey everyone! Still trying to sort stuff out, and my old PC is truly a dinosaur. Ancient but actually rugged. It gets things done but its SOOOOOOOO SLOOOOW, and crashes quite a bit. Still, I didnt want to leave yall hanging so heres a chapter to settle that itch a bit. Thanks for the well wishes. And I hope to be back in full swing.
Chapter 332 The Witchs Tears
I remember suddenly being hit from behind.
But it didnt feel like an attack, although that could have been my imagination.
Rather I
Indeed. Aonii was trying to protect you.
Treainar? What are you talking about that bastard was insulting Mr. Aka
You should have known that Aoniis words were untrue. He put his body on the line to test you. To confirm how genuine your friendship with Aka was. And because it was proven true, he risked his life.
Thats
We were able to escape to a certain distance. Of course, things would still be dire should arge-scale mountain hunt be executed, but Hakuki would do no such thing. Although he is a cruel one, he will overlook it this time due to the fact that his subordinate risked his life to fulfill it he was the sort to care for his own, even if they were traitors.
Finally, a blinding light shone into the dark world of consciousness.
Ah, this was a prelude to waking up.
Anyway, I have to sort out what happened again after I wake up
Big brotheeeeeer!
Brother!
Buhea!?
I slowly woke up and before I knew it, my sister and brother dived into my belly, waking me up in an instant.
Im so d~, Big brother~
Please dont make me worry like that, okay? Im just d were all okay.
They both hugged me with smiles of relief and tears in their eyes.
Y, yes calm down .
Noooo, Im not letting go of you.
Uh. wh, what, Brother, y. you made us worry so much, and now youre treating us as a nuisance?
Ah~~, yes yes, you two are so cute.
I patted them on the head with both hands and looked around.
A wilderness at the foot of the mountainous surroundings?
The vige elves were cutting down trees to build simple houses, and elves with weapons on the rocky hillside were looking around and acting as if they were keeping watch.
Oh, Young man. You have awakened.
Chieftain this is .
Oh, due to various circumstances, weve been forced to relocate. Whether well settle here permanently or not is another matter. It seems were not too far from our former settlement, it looks inconvenient. Despite being surrounded by rocky mountains, its quite close to human-inhabited areas, making it easier to be discovered
Relocate. In other words, they all fled from that vige.
From Hakukis hand
We managed to escape.
True, those two lent us a hand.
Hmm? Ah
Then I remembered the conversation I had with Treainar in my consciousness.
I see Aonii
Yes.
He bought us time to escape.
Thats what he really put his life on the line for.
Huh? But, those two.
Yes, there that one.
Hmm? Ah
Two people helped us escape from Hakuki.
If one of them was Aonii, As I wondered who the other was, I turned around, and there was a woman ring at me with crossed arms in the shade of a tree diagonally behind me.
You Larouiph
Hmmm
Are you okay? You cant go back to the Demon King Army anymore
Larouiph, the Dark Elf under Norjasmand.
Even though her restraints have been removed and she was free, she remained silent.
Even this fellow betrayed the Demon King Army?
Aonii Aka and their parents all lived in the Dark Elf Vige, where I was born.
Eh, Mr. Aka!?
Larouiph suddenly began to speak, and I was surprised and convinced at the same time.
Was that really the case?
I see After all, you were together with Mr. Aka.
I thought what if based on her reaction when she saw the stone essory I received from Mr. Aka.
We were childhood friends although we were of different races weve been together since we were little Aonii, who was gutsy, strong, and reliable, was like an older brother and
Larouiph spoke of those two as she reminisced about the past.
She wasnt the so-called Ebony Witch, and the expression on her face didnt show her ominous hatred towards us.
She just thought of one man, and
He was kinder than anyone else his smile was very reassuring, and when I was having a hard time or feeling sad, he would feel it with me as if it were his own thats .
Yeah, thats the kind of guy he is. Mr. Aka.
I couldnt help but nod, and at the same time I realized how much she had been thinking about Mr. Aka.
Tell me just one thing. Aka is he alive?
I cant say much about history. But about this at least
Yes I dont know where he is now, but
Still, its vexing.
Mr. Aka is alive. And hell be hiding in the mountains near Honeyborough in the Empire from now until a decade or so after the war is over so, maybe even now but if I tell her about this, history might
I see
But
Aka is still alive ?
The story of his survival was probably enough for Larouiph, who sat down there on the spot with tears rolling down her face.
She cared so much for Mr. Aka
I cannot believe how ridiculous I never doubted the death of the man I truly loved I didnt believe he was alive one-sidedly calling for revenge, these hands of mine theyre covered in blood far beyond what he would have wanted to the point that he would reject me never again so much that I dont deserve to see him again.
Never again hey, you.
Just if hes alive Im d I really am d .
I see I didnt think there was a woman who was so in love with that Mr. Aka.
Ah, Mr. Aka such a sinful guy.
Mr. Aka. Next time we meet, Ill give you a little lecture, okay?
Making a woman who cares for you so much cry
Yes, Boomerang!
Shut up, I noticed it myself right away!
Geez just either way, Id like to meet Mr. Aka .
What Larouiph has done to humans its not my ce to meddle.
Thats why Im hoping you two can work something out.
Besides
For what its worth I was also saved by Aonii it felt like something was entrusted to me.
I suppose
I, too, felt a sense of sadness as I looked at the distant sky.
And naturally, tears welled up in my eyes as well.
its heavy being protected with someones life this is what it means.
Indeed. You must shoulder this burden the life risked for your sake never forget that weight, child.
yeah
I wanted to talk with Aonii a little bit more.
Stupid bastard once youre dead you wont be able to do anything with Mr. Aka with me tsu you wont be able to do that.
You helped us unterally, we didnt even thank you, and then you entrusted them to me without permission?
Youve got to be kidding me.
If thats the case, Im going to try to do something about the something that was entrusted to me.
Im going to put this life of mine that he saved on the line.
Chapter 333: From now on
Chapter 333: From now on
Chapter 333 From now on
Fluffy Create!
Iron-make, Shining Ultimate Nail! Darkness Burst Hammer!
When it came to building temporary dwellings at the new location, Espie and yer were very excited.
Bu~, yer, I thought that before, but thats too exaggerated! Thats just a nail and a hammer!
You have such poor naming sense! Generally speaking, you say create and just pile up wood and other stuff!
yer, you always say Shining this and Darkness that, but theyre all just normal!
What you cant tell the difference? Thats why children .
The two of them were bickering pretty loudly, but somehow they were working their hardest for the sake of the elves.
The elves, who at first had only been wary and hostile towards humans, gradually began to loosen their expressions.
Ah~, hey, hey there~, Espie and yer, was it? Youve been toiling away how about a bite of bread and some rest?
Ill eat!
Ah, Espie, no fair! Dont eat my share!
Ah, haha, plenty left, there be. Look, our shares still here.
Un! Mrs. Yiteas recipe was tasty, but this one is tasty too!
Youre so greedy and unrefined ah, its delicious.
They were kids, and most of all, they both put their bodies on the line to protect the elves. Also, theyre cute.
Say, Espie! yer! Eat with decorum, do not fret! There will be no leftovers or pilfering here!
Yes
Hahaha, Fair Lady Yitea is more akin to a mother now, isnt she?
Say, hold your tongue! Such musings do not upy my mind! Its but mere spection, akin to pondering upon the nature of parenthood~ or the yearning to have a child as soon as possible~ or such matters, so dont mistake my intent! Ah, yet, its not that I shun the prospect of my own offspring.
So its no surprise that everyone gradually opened up.
I thought it wouldnt be strange for them to feel depressed and gloomy after running away from the ce where they had been living with only the clothes on their backs, but seeing Espie and yer, who are still children, working so hard, the elves seem to be gradually regaining their cheerfulness.
So where threads your path? Lady Dark Elf.
At that moment, the Chieftain asked Larouiph, who was sitting quietly next to me while I was receiving treatment.
What do you mean?
You shall not return to the ranks of the Demon King Army, will you? Will you journey back to the Demon Realm?
no.. I wont do that anymore.
So, you will pursue that first love of yours, Aka?
.
Larouiphs shoulders trembled slightly at the mention of Mr. Akas name.
Well, she cried so much when she found out that Mr. Aka was alive.
If its true, shed like to go look for him and meet him.
But
No thats not possible. Im already too bloodstained to meet Aka the people Ive killed dont number just ten or twenty. I am repulsive
It was war Larouiph didnt make such excuses, and reflected on what she had done so far and seemed to feel guilty about a lot of things.
Mr. Aka wanted to stop fighting humans and befriend them.
On the other hand, Larouiph had killed, tormented, robbed, and trampled many humans, just like in Ghenkan.
Anyway, rest assured, I will not return to the Demon King Army. I will not even speak of the elves. I swear by Aoniis life. Ill leave this ce soon.
You have no destination in mind, do you?
Even so. Dying miserably in the field is also a fitting end for me
Saying this, Larouiph lowered her head again.
Honestly, I couldnt say anything rash about how serious she looked, but as Mr. Akas childhood friend, and most of all, the life that Aonii saved, I couldnt leave it alone.
I wonder~ in my opinion one path or the other it all leads to the same end.
And at that moment, with a sigh of exasperation, the Chieftain spoke.
Chieftain?
?
Not understanding the meaning of the Chieftains words, Larouiph and I tilted our heads, and the Chieftain said
I possess the gift to understand the cries of every creature that dwells in this world. Dragons, beasts, birds, insects, fish, and monsters, theirmentations, the screams of life dying from the strong eating the weak. ever echo within my ears. Some I have befriended, yet others not so much. Its the way of the world even amongst the beasts, some refuse the bounty of thend, demanding flesh to sustain their existence. So, as I listen to those screams, I see no difference between humans, demons, and wars. They struggle to eat. To live. However, in your case, reasons for ughter are garbed in righteousness, in vengeance, emotions not known to the natural world.
Ive heard it in the past when Treainar talked about the magic of Mutza Gouro. At the very least, you will not be able to eat meat.
Thats right. If I heard a cow or a pig say, Help me, I would have a lot on my mind.
The Chieftain was always in such a world.
In fact, he understands the cries of all life in the midst of natures survival of the fittest.
From the perspective of such a Chieftain, all those who kill each other in war are the same
Say, Lady, Young man, I have a question for you Should the wars cease, and in their wake, all demons depart from this realm, leaving only humans behind, what fate would you foresee And conversely, should humans vanish, leaving only demons, what destiny would await our world?
I thought about that question for just a moment.
A peaceful world without conflict I doubt that
If it bes a world of only humans, humans will fight among themselves If it is only the demons remain, the demons will fight with each other thats the kind of world were going to live in
Then Larouiph spoke with a stern expression, and although I felt deste, I agreed with her answer.
And the Chieftain nodded and raised his face.
Indeed, that is the way the world is. Through centuries and eons, it remains unchanged. Wherever you go, conflict prevails apanied by tragedy and screams In essence, whilst some among the aggrieved may mor, on a global scale such matters are butmonce, and perhaps its folly to dwell overmuch upon them, at least in this day and age of the world.
Its stupid to think that it should be normal, with how dirty Ive already be.
Humans, demons, and of course us elves, bear their share of blemishes, as one might expect. Some elves, puffing themselves up with the arrogance of being the supreme species, look down upon other races, which makes matters worse. Yet, despite our differences, there was but minor skirmishing with your kin, and no lives were lost. In fact, Lady, considering how your sorcery saved us all this time, one might even regard you as our benefactor, surpassing any petty grievances.
Im not sure about thest part of the theory anymore, but Im kind of getting the idea
In other words, the Chieftain is saying to Larouiph if you dont have anywhere else to go, you can stay here for a while. Dont get so depressed I guess you did a lot of things in the war, but I dont care are you trying to say that?
Forgive me, for I too have lost track of my thoughts along the way Yet, I believe thats the gist of it. Despite the talk of execution and torture when the Lady was being held captive, this recent turn of events must have stirred various sentiments. A man who risked his life to protect us and acted a fool for the sake of his friend of a different race the ogre who was moved to action, shielding us with valor and the dark elf who came to our aid innocent children toiling with pure eyes. This time, we elves were attacked, but we couldnt do anything. Everyone must have keenly felt the weight of their own powerlessness and the narrowness of their hearts, prompting a reconsideration of many things.
Whats that?
I couldnt help butugh. But thats the way it is.
Well~, perhaps the blue ogre wished to aid not only the Young man, but the Lady as well. We elves were merely taken along.
Aonii ?
I mean, what was it he said, think about how you want to live in the future, and live again, the way you wish to live I believe.
tsu.
That happened while I was unconscious certainly, when I heard those words, I understood that Aonii was trying to help Larouiph as well.
Oh I see then
Hey, Larouiph.
What?
I dont know where Mr. Aka is right now, but at least the time I met Mr. Aka, what happened, what we talked about, what kind of games we yed if you dont mind me reminiscing. can we talk about that?
Huh!? Aka?
I wont mention anything that might involve history, but there are still things I can talk about.
Then, I can at least do that
Ah please tell me. Memories of you and Aka.
At my suggestion, Larouiph nodded obediently with tears in her eyes again.
Chapter 334: Memories
Chapter 334: Memories
Chapter 334 Memories
I ran away from home and wandered through the woods, unable to even touch the mushrooms and rabbits that were lying around, and just when I thought I was going to starve to death, Mr. Aka appeared.
After escaping from Hakuki, there was no sign of any pursuers, and as the atmosphere gradually calmed down, I talked about that time.
I was like, Ogre!?, you got to be kidding me!? It was so scary and I was getting ready to fight, but then that guy with a huge and rugged body like Aonii said, I wont do anything~''
Hah, thats just like Aka hes strong, but hes a little timid.
Well~, on the contrary, he said to me, youre hungry? or I dont do anything bad to humans~ I met an ogre for the first time in my life, and I was like, This is an ogre!? well, that was a preconception.
Well I guess it cant be helped. Thats what happens when a human suddenly encounters an ogre in the woods.
Well~, the house deep in the forest that I was taken to was a cozy wooden house with a handmade garden, and once inside, you will find borate carvings and essories Oh, by the way, thats where I got what I showed you earlier. So, he said that he was going to cook some food ~ When I stood in the kitchen, he swung a kitchen knife and a frying pan with great gusto, and served me a messy meat dish. No~, I traveled quite a lot, but the meat dish I ate at that time was really good.
Oh, he was certainly good with his hands, but before I knew it he was growing a garden and even cooking?
Yeah. And when I said that it was delicious, he gave a huge grin and said thats good~.
Memories of me and Mr. Aka. She had been listening from a little distance away, but before I knew it, Larouiph was leaning over and listening to me up close, nodding in agreement and frowning slightly.
On the contrary
He~, so such ogres exist, do they?
But no~, not the same ilk as those that beset our vige!
Mr. Aka is such a nice person. I want to meet him too~!
What a weird ogre
Somehow, the Chieftain, his wife, Espie and yer stopped their work and sat around me, and even
So, Young man. Did you forge a bond with that Mr. Aka?
Pray tell, what next?
Go on, do tell~
Before I knew it, the other elves had gathered around and were listening to my story.
It was kind of funny, but I wanted everyone to know more about it.
About Mr. Aka that there were ogres like him
Mr. Aka said he wanted to be friends with humans by serving them food, ying games like Go so we yed Go all night.
But, of course, its not all fun memories.
So, Mr. Aka said he wanted to eat cake so I went to town thinking Id buy him some cake as thanks for helping me but while I was out shopping for cake.
Other things were heartbreaking
A group of Hunters attacked Mr. Aka.
Eehh!??
By the time I got back they had burned his house and fields.
If I mention the Ninja Warriors here, it couldplicate things, so I lumped them in with the Hunters.
But
yer, is it true? Are Hunters really that cruel!?
W, wait, even if you ask me .
yer, are you a hunter? Listen here! You mustnt be the sort of adult to recklessly attack others!
No, um, Mrs. Yitea
Kuh Humans after all, the difference between humans and ogres are .
I felt like they were getting too emotionally invested.
Everyone was seriously angry about what happened to Mr. Aka.
But dont direct your anger at yer.
W, well, but in those mes it was the Hunters who had fallen as it turned out, Mr. Aka turned the tables on them. He was strong.
Oooooh, truly splendid, Mr. Aka! So kind, skilled in cookingand strong!!
Ah, of course. Theres no way Aka would lose to such small-time soldiers!
But in the midst of that me, Mr. Aka was crying because of the cowardly people he was sad and angry. He was kinder than anyone else, so he kept putting up with all sorts of things, and that anger boiled over.
You did nothing wrong, Mr. Aka ~!
Thats right, exactly which Hunter was it? Im ashamed as a fellow Hunter!
And, on the contrary, they raise their fists in joy theyve grown too fond of Mr. Aka in so little time, havent they? Im happy, though.
So, there I was I thought Id let Mr. Aka vent some of his anger that has been umting and decided to have a fight.
Why!?
Haha, it looks like what Big brother would do~ huh? I mean, if its Big brother, then the technique you used at that time .
Thats right, Mr. Akas crazy punch and my .
Head-butt!??
y, yes, thats how we shed with each other.
Since that day, Ive fought many different people. Even in between those fierce fights, I have continued to train, and I believe that I have be iparably stronger than I was that day.
But, even so, I still end up using Mr. Akas power at that time as the standard in many situations.
Thats how strong, heavy, and great his fist was.
From there, we went at it so hard and so fast Mr. Aka and I shed head-on to the point where I thought I was going to lose my head. Right like todays sh with Aonii, trying to expose everything thats deep in our hearts.
Even remembering it now gives me a headache.
But because of that
And even after all that as expected, Mr. Aka was still Mr. Aka. He came back to his senses and immediately burst into tears, saying sorry to me over and over again Even though we were both the same. But for better or worse, we got to know each other at that moment, I thought that Mr. Aka and I had be true friends.
But right after that
Chapter 335: Reaffirmation
Chapter 335: Reaffirmation
Chapter 335 Reaffirmation
Everyone was touched by Mr. Akas kindness, got angry at the way he was treated, but rejoiced when we were able to reconcile, and before I knew it, no one was moving about, and they were all listening to me reminisce.
And then the story came back to that morning
So, Higu he said that if he was with me he would cause trouble for me just because were friends he left a letter behind Mr. Aka was nowhere to be found
Before I knew it, I was crying.
Just talking about that moment, that morning, when I read that letter, I couldnt help but get emotional.
But thats
Oooooooh!!!
Every single one of them was crying.
Or rather
Its so sad, Mr. Aka, you didnt do anything wrong~
Well, youre just a child, Espie. You cry so easily. Im Gusun not crying.
An admirable ogre nay, a noble man a fine soul indeed.
Sniff, ah, I am undone. I, once harbored hatred for all ogres, yet now
Such a kind-hearted ogre there was
Mother, Im not afraid of ogres anymore! The ogres that attacked us were bad people, but there are good ogres too!
Me too!
Aye, that is true. Its not just ogres, but also people like the Young man, dear Espie, and thed yer. The ranks of the Demon King Army and the Bockmati arent all there is.
Thats too simple. A strangely surreal scene unfolded where the elves, who were said to be big-headed and looked down on other races due to their pride, were now all shedding tears.
But I was happy.
thats just like Aka.
Larouiph also smiled at me sadly, even though she had tears in her eyes.
But still still, Aka Im d he met you.
Larouiph
Me.. Aonii too our family were all caught up in war and hatred thats why Im d that he met someone like you who treated him as a person, who wasnt afraid of him, and who was willing to face him head-on.
Im not so sure thats
It is. Aonii must have realized that when he shed with you. Thats why he thought that he should never let you die.
I see.
When she said that, I couldnt help but remember what Treainar had said to me that day, and I looked at him who was beside me, and he smiled.
Child, tis no constion. That ogre must have truly been saved by meeting you. You certainly became his friend. Tis why he is no longer before you. You know naught of the world. I know not the depths of humans and demons. Your power is weak, as well. But nevertheless, even though you were human, you befriended an Ogre. I am the first to witness such. Truly, you have done well.
Because I was helpless, Mr. Aka took care of me and disappeared before me.
Still, I was happy to meet Mr. Aka
Thats why those words that were said at the same time
It may be harsh to say, but the publics eyes are not as lenient as you think. Because he understands it better than anyone, he left you. The eyes around you do not matter? Do not make meugh. No matter how aggressive your remarks, you who knows nothing of the world, its people, or of demons have no basis. Tis unreliable.
What about me now? Even if I say something bullish, as I am now, I can do a little?
At the least there was no falsehood in you personally such trust was had, I believe.
In response to the question I had, Treainar gave me an assessment that sounded like a passing grade.
I felt that I had gotten a little better since then, and I felt that I had been saved a little.
Thats why
We have to carry Aoniis share of the burden Larouiph both of us.
Yes thats right.
Larouiph and I realized once again that we cannot let Aoniis feelings, which he entrusted to us at the cost of his life, go to waste.
Big brother, you definitely have to find Mr. Aka!
Yeah! Even if something happens, Ill be there to help!
Ah, yer, youre cheating! Ill be the one to do it! Ill beat up the people who bully Mr. Aka!
No, itll be me!
And when Espie and yer, who werepletely engrossed in my story, clung to me and spoke with a snort, I couldnt help butugh again and nod in agreement at the same time.
Alright, Dark Elf! You too find Aka and bring him joy!
Oh, yes, yes!
Indeed, as it stands, Akas plight will be too pitiful! Please go to his side and offer your support!
Then, one after another, the elves, who were overwhelmed with emotion, thought about Mr. Akas happiness and asked Larouiph to fulfill her role.
But Larouiph shook her head sadly at the words.
I cant as I am right now no matter what everyone says after listening to Akas storyit makes me feel thatfor a woman like me.
Saying this, Larouiph dropped her shoulders and looked down.
Listening to Akas story from me, she seems to be sad because she thinks she doesnt deserve it.
Then, then perhaps, in saving more people than you have in. you may yet find redemption.
No, Yitea, there neednt be any redemption, dont you see? In the throes of war, reciprocation reigns, and besides, you dont believe her to be wicked in the first ce, do you? Even though she may ponder upon her deeds then, there is no redemption required.
You may be right, but.
Indeed, its a conundrum. How does one make amends for ying in the heat of war? That is a puzzlement beyond reckoning.
Right. It was mutual. Both sides carry me. Its not about whos right or wrong in this era of war.
So its not about redemption.
But, it is not something that can be easily resolved.
For now, instead of worrying about making amends, why dont you try living in a way that makes you feel like you can go meet them in your current state? Just a thought.
At the end of the day, I dont have an answer, but I have to continue living. I have to reward Aonii.
Thats why the Chieftain may be right.
But then, when I met Mr. Aka, I didnt get the feeling that Larouiph and Mr. Aka had already reunited.
I dont know if she was looking for Mr. Aka in the world more than ten years from now, or if she hadnt met him yet
I guess to answer that question Ill first have to yeah.
Yes, no matter how much I think about it now, history has already been decided.
In that case, all I can do is go and see what happens.
Yes, to go back to the time I came from.
Previous
Chapter 336: A Place of Rest
Chapter 336: A ce of Rest
A few days have passed since the Hakuki attack, and my injuries have gotten much better.
As the elves, myself, and Larouiph revealed our hearts to each other in various ways during my reminiscences, it seemed like the sense of distance had changed a little.
Before the ogres attacked, there was a lot of talk about execution torture, and hostage-taking around Larouiph, but now no one speaks of that anymore.
It seemed that they have changed the way they look at us, including my fight with Aonii, and now were treated like normal people, or even more like benefactors, so I dont feel bad about that.
It may seem like a palpable change of heart, but Larouiph isnt going to leave anytime soon, and seemed shell be staying here until she feels calm.
Behold~, with the aid of forest animals and birds, the rough sketch of our map has taken shape Ah~ indeed hmm~ oh, no. Its not to be. With this as the only river nearby
While everyone was once again working on setting up temporary shelters, the Chieftain sat alone on a rock, talking to a bird that had flown by.
Thus far, the menfolk have managed to fetch water on their own for these few days, but its a weary task should this persist, it will be a burden indeed. Also, the birds whisper of travelers and hunters traversing these parts from time to time its perilous, verily
Yes, this was only temporary, and they cant live here indefinitely.
Once, this ce would have been a fine abode, fortified with spells of concealment strewn about the vicinity Still, our presence was discerned by those of lofty skill hah
Dear by the way, how fare our settlement
Its confirmed, after a fashion our settlement has been razed it seems less a matter of we Elves escape and more one of not being found I suppose they sought to conceal their failure by the hands of that Ogre.
So it seems. Then, returning after their departure seems an unattainable feat now
Until now, the elves had lived in a secluded settlement where humans and demons hardly ever passed through, but that was no longer the case.
But, it was not so easy to find a ce with the same environment as before, unknown to humans or the Demon King Army.
Historically, the war between the Demon King Army and humanity will end in the not-too-distant future.
But, no matter what the Demon King Army does, its counterproductive for the elves to interact with humans.
Although they have be somewhat friendly with us, there were also people like the Bockmati family. Its still a long way off before the Bockmati family will be destroyed.
Even I can wield some form of concealment magic but as for securing water and food
Yes and to start the fields anew even if we disguise ourselves and venture into town for provisions, procuring for all residents~
Perhaps to gather from the wild creatures nearby Ah
Indeed in the end, it maye to that for everyone but me
It seemed that the elves also have a culture of hunting to make ends meet, so naturally they can secure food in that way. Except for the Chieftain, who couldnt eat meat.
Even so, well manage with a few days of camping life at most as for making this our living area it seems quite a task Ah~, tedious it is. hey, Dark El.. Ms. Larouiph, cant you or the Young man use magic to create a river?
Well, I.. dont have any affinity with water attribute magic.
I only have Terran and Lightning attributes if I can dig the ground and get water that way, its fine.
I cant do that either.
Me neither.
Well then, its hopeless~. ah, s what shall we do now~
After saying that, the Chieftainy on his back on the rock, as if he had lost his will.
Wait, dear! Cant you devise a solution?
Chieftain~
Can we not find an answer through the chieftains usual ingenuity or invention.
His wife and other elves begged for help, but the Chieftain shook his head listlessly.
Do not speak so easily it was I who suggested fleeing before the ogres attacked, after all Hmm I shall ponder upon it for a moment. Truly, its a matter of life and death Hah~ Mumble At times like this Perhaps there might be something useful among the tools in that facility Yet it seems futile Mumble why did I drop the key no, but it doesnt matter either way it would onlyplicate matters further ah~ how vexing.
Its quite a difficult problem. But something has to be done.
The Chieftain was trying toze around in anguid posture, but his expression looked like he was seriously worried.
But how can such arge number of people live in such an environment without being found by others
Hmm
At that moment, Treainar looked at the map that the Chieftain had made.
Ah, I see I had yet forgotten the greatest, the biggest, and the strongest brain.
If its Treainar, I think hell have some good ideas
The area around these parts will not do then perhaps tis best to
Oh, if even Treainar finds it hopeless then, I guess its really no good. So, what will happen to these elves in the future
Child
Hmm?
Perhaps purchasingnd could be an option.
Huh?
Even though there was war being waged all over thend, it was not all without gaps. I never ventured tonds where there was no meaning in war or anything this great forest and mountainous region were exceptions
N-no, maybe thats true
There are somends in the world that are owned by individuals and arepletely untouched. Tis possible to purchase them, make them private property and prohibit entry to anyone except for those involved. By using Espies title as one of the Seven Heroes in addition to that, if you have the credibility of yer as a Hunter, as long as you have the funds, there should be no issues. If you use both of their names to prohibit entry, it is unlikely that anyone will think to intrude.
Buyingnd? I had never thought about such a thing in my life.
No, but as long as we have funds where do we get the money? They all have nothing but their clothes, right? No matter how much money the Chieftain secretly earned as a writer, he now has nothing even for me I dont have that kind of money.
In any case, even if I simply suggested that they could buynd or mountains, no one would have the money to buy something like that just as I was about to say that, I remembered something.
Ah now that I think about it
Yes, you do have the funds. In the city of Weinz you deposited most of your winnings from horse races in the depository, did you not?
I see. Sure, I had a big bag full, and I deposited everything but the money I needed.
Certainly, there are depositories all over the world, and withdrawals can be made from any of them as long as you go through the proper procedures.
So, Ill pay for it!?? Well, theres no point in keeping that kind of money
Then why not lend it to them?
Lend them the money
Clearly, the Destiny Series sold quite well on the Surface World in other words, even if he has nothing now, if he writes sequels, the Chieftain will earn arge amount of wealth once more.
Yes if I ask him to pay it back in a decade or so Huh?
Listening to Treainars story now, one question crossed my mind.
Dont tell me that the sequels to the Destiny series keeping out, not only because the Chieftain wants to write them, but no way
Hmm?
And then it happened!
Huh!?
Suddenly, the air trembled.
Just like when Hakuki appeared.
What!?
What is that!?
Whoa, wait, look at that!
And at the same time, something strange happened in the sky further away from the forest where we were.
Whats happening!?
What what is this? I, I sense such immense power the birds the forest creatures are rmed Huh!?
A huge pir of light stretched from thend to the sky.
W, what in the world is that?! The sky split!? What, that huge light!?
The pir emitted an intense light around us, dazzling even those of us who were far away.
Wh, whats that.
Brother, what do you think?
Both Espie and yer braced themselves.
Even though I just encountered that Hakuki, what else is going to happen?
Treainar, what is happening? Is this magic?
Even without using the radar, I could feel it on my skin.
Its a huge, intense pir of light that stretched through the clouds.
Its magic power.
But that much magic power
Treainar?
I asked Treainar, thinking he might know something, but he didnt respond.
When I looked back to see what had happened
Tis been a few days since the Hakuki attack and during that time, Aoniis death was reported ah, I see it was the day after that I also the Demon King Army received a report that shook the Demon Realm.
Treainar gazed wistfully at the pir of light piercing the sky in the distance.
Ive never seen Treainar like that before.
So much so that I hesitated to call out to him
Hmm? Oh, no worry not, child. Although tis visible, the source of that light is far from this ce there is no problem.
I, is that so? But what the hell is that light
Oh, that light was generated when two massive forces collided the half-destroyed Allied Forces along with Hiro, who had risen from the brink of death, is engaged with the Demon King Army there.
My father!?
No way, my father?! Moreover, he was in battle with the Demon King Army?
Even though its quite far away. you can still see their power with the naked eye from here?
What a joke
For the time being you need not worry about it.
For now, I dont have to worry about it, so dont. Thats what Treainar said, but something seemed strange about Treainar.
As he was staring into the distance
you were one of my pride fight without regret and rest in peace Gouda
I couldnt hear what he was muttering.
Chapter 337: Today
Chapter 337: Today
Chapter 337 Today
ording to Treainar, for the time being, we can ignore the huge light that appeared in the distantnd.
If so, what do we need to do now is
What was that!? Young man, you are intending to purchasend and bestow it upon us!?
Yes. That seems like the quickest way. If we say its Espie and yers private property, who would have the guts to go in there unannounced?
No no,nd you say ah, even so, Young man Young Master?
Ugh, dont call me that. I mean, I earned it myself i, its just some easy money, but .
As expected, everyone, including the Chieftain, was confused by my proposal.
Even if someone told you they would buynd and you would suddenly live there, youd be like, Huh?
Yet, purchasing suchnd would require a vast sum.
Its not like Im giving it away for free. You can pay me back eventually. I dont need any interest.
Ah~, so it amounts to a debt that would be paid to you, Young man no, it does give pause~
You dont have to think so hard about it. At the very least I hope the Destiny Series continues for another decade or so.
No, a span of more than ten years that, what manner of grand undertaking is this!?
The Chieftain looked surprised at my joking words, but in fact he has been writing novels for more than a decade.
And the novel was important to me and Treainar as well.
Haha I never thought Id have anything to do with the fact that sequels to the Destiny Series keeping out.
The day I met Treainar. I didnt know how to deal with the existence of the ghost of the Great Demon King, but because of that novel, I changed my mind and began to feel affection for Treainar in many ways.
I couldnt help but feel a strange sense of destiny when I thought that the novel that triggered this was connected to the future because of my involvement in the past.
Treainar?
Hmm? Oh, yes Hmm? What is it?
No
But, when I expressed this to Treainar, he seemed a little distracted
Even though he told me not to worry about it, I guess that pir of light was still on his mind.
Well, I can pretty much guess a lot of things, but
Yet, even if I were to rpense, whenever such wealth avails Y, Young man, from where shall thisnd hail
Hmm? Ah thats .
That said, I would like to ask Treainar to teach me a lot of things as we discuss our future, and with that in mind, I called his name several times in my mind
Oh, yes Hmm. Land let me see so from here, through the forest and taking a short path well, first of all, we must remain inconspicuous while traveling there are several small mountains beyond the former Shiznautmy. I believe, tis certainly the Kingdom of Japone hmm?
The ruins of Shiznautmy. Thats where I should be headed to in this era.
But, does this mean that in order to solve the problem of the elvesnd, we have to go through Shiznautmy once?
Well, as long as you have a certificate to withdraw money from the depository, it doesnt really need to be me so I can just leave it to them I cant do that.
Even if the goal is Shiznautmy, there was no rush.
Lets travel with Espie and yer a little more
Oh Ah! T, tis so there was something else?!
Whoa!?
Huh? Y, Young man?
Suddenly, Treainar beside me shouted.
I couldnt help but cry out loud in surprise.
What the hell is going on
What have I done Child. Our destination is Shiznautmy however, it does not end at Shiznautmy, does it?
Huh?
I wondered what was going on, but I also just realized it.
Going to the ruins of Shiznautmy
The ruins are not deserted!? The Demon King Army and the Allied Forces continue to take and retake it in other words, one of the armies was always based there until the end of the war! Under such circumstances, how do you invade the ruins!?
Huh?
When I heard that, I was stunned.
In the first ce, even when I tried to go to the ruins in the future, Norja and Fus father were heading there at the same time, so I avoided it.
On the other hand, in this era, there was a military force stationed there?
In short, unless I sneak into the ruins under the eyes of an army
However, there was only one period in this era when the ruins were uninhabited for a short interval Goudas army was stationed in Shiznautmy Gouda sets out against the approaching Allied Forces to engage your father, Hiro, on the ins near Shiznautmy
My father
And then, Gouda was killed in battle. The remnants of Goudas army stationed in Shiznautmy retreated after confirming this, the Allied Forces marched on the uninhabited Shiznautmy the next day, and the Allied Forces recaptured Shiznautmy from the Demon King Army it will be so.
Oh, oh
Certainly, I have also studied the history of that part of the world. Its even mentioned in textbooks, and its a historical event in which humanity first defeated one of the Six Great Demon Generals.
Huh? But when it happens
In other words, today, the day of Gouda died! There is no other chance to enter the ruins of Shiznautmy than today! If we miss today, tens of thousands of Allied troops will upy Shiznautmy and raise their g!
Huh!? Then that light we just saw was?
Mm-hmm
But today is so sudden and we were talking aboutnd are you saying I should leave the rest to the Espie and the others? No, I cant Espie and yer suddenly came together like this.
then should we postpone it? Until the war ends
At that moment, I finally understood why Treainar had suddenly panicked.
In other words, if I miss today, I wont be able to go home even if I wanted to for a long time, until the war is over.
Big brother, whats wrong?
Brother?
No.. well, thats not the case and the war will be over in the not-too-distant future
But when I start thinking about it like that I dont think its a good idea for me to stay in this era forever and continue to be involved in the background of history
In the first ce, while trying not to get involved, I got involved with Espie, who is also one of the Seven Heroes, and met Koujiro.
As for the Six Supremacy, I also met Norja and Hakuki, and I got involved with a leader of the Hakuki Army and the Elves.
If I get involved any further
Well in the not-too-distant future, the me of this era will perish after that, the army will withdraw from the ruins
Huh!?
At that moment, I thought, I dont want that.
Waiting until Treainar dies in this era if things continue like this even if I didnt intend it, what I do in this era may indirectly lead to Treainars death, not to mention the defeat of the Demon King Army.
In the first ce, I have been dealing with the Six Supremacy in quick session over the past few days
I dont like it ah I dont want to do that
??
Child
Even if it was the course of history that Treainar would die, I just dont want to be involved in that course of events.
Even so, I have to go home.
Not someday.
Its today.
Chapter 338: Lost Item
Chapter 338: Lost Item
Chapter 338 Lost Item
Big brother?
Brother, whats wrong?
Today, I have to go back to the future. I have decided to go home.
Even though the Chieftain was an elf, he seemed to know about various things in the world, enough to write novels on the Surface World, so I think that if he discusses things with Espie and yer, he will be able to handle thend issue.
But Im going to have a talk with Espie and yer well, unfortunately
Espie yer
Un, Big brother?
?
I have to leave these two behind. For over ten years.
How do I tell them that?
How do I convince them?
From now on, we wont be able to see each other for more than a decade
So, Young man, where will thend be purchased?
Hmm? Y, yes.
I couldnt think of any words. But there was no time.
To get to Shiznautmy, we need to move fast.
I mean
Uh-huh Shiznautmy the mountainous area beyond there seems to be within the territory of the Kingdom of Japone, and the mountains are privately owned and for sale well buy that .
Japone beyond Shiznautmy? N, no, Young man. Thats far too great a feat for our humble number to traverse unnoticed.
Huh?
In the first ce, the problem was that the Chieftains people could not get there.
Thats right. You cant get there unless you pass through the forest and push through the ins.
There were less than a hundred elves in the vige, so with that many on the move, theres a possibility that they will be found.
Hey, Larouiph, can you use your warp to get us there?
No.. I cant get that far either.
If it was just me, Espie, and yer, there would be no problem. But, in that case, it means that we will end up abandoning the elves, which would be too heavy on my conscience.
Even if I go back to the future today and betray my precious younger sister and brother, I have to at least resolve this
Ha~ a conundrum indeed. If only we could employ the teleportation device to swiftly reach Shiznautmy yet, once there, we must surface again, and what lies beyond should be within the warp distance of Lady Larouiph
What?
Huh?
No, its nothing, Young man. Merely a murmured thought.
At that moment, Treainar reacted to the iprehensible words uttered by the Chieftain.
Teleportation device? A device is it?
Chieftain Teleportation Device? What does that mean? Is it some kind of magic?
Huh? Oh, thats of no matter. The device is just that, a device. As a matter of fact scattered across the realms, are devices imbued with Shiznautmy technology, some capable of whisking one swiftly to its namesake.
Huh!?
Well, truth be told, as I was crafting the map just before, I noticed the presence of one such device nearby, although it lies beyond our employ.
Treainar seemed concerned about it, so I asked on his behalf, and the Chieftain said something outrageous.
Not magic, but technology? Why is there such a thing?
Thats ridiculous Ive never heard of such a thing in that ce, even though the Demon King Army destroyed the Sorcery City of Shiznautmy, and investigated it afterwards.
Ah~, well~, it is indeed so unmistakably, it lies much deeper still only the city of Shiznautmy and a fraction of its subterranean vaults were vanquished by the Demon King Army yet beyondy depths more securely sealed
W-what was that?
Ive heard that before.
But, Treainar said that no human could get there, and only a few in the Demon King Army knew about it.
One of them was Jamdiel. The technology and whatnot that lies deep within was used to conceive Kron
And the other was
Apologies apologies. Let this tale fade into shadows. Moreover, in truth, this discourse holds no meaning whatsoever.
What do you mean?
In fact, within those depths lies dormant technology Furthermore, to utilize those teleportation devices, a key is requisite. With said key, one may traverse swiftly from the nearby teleportation device straight into the heart of Shiznautmy but without that key, it remains an impossible feat.
Then where is the key?
Hmm~ I did possess it, yet somehow managed to misce it truly, I well, at the time, I deemed it no longer of necessity and thus refrained from searching Ha~, in hindsight, perhaps I should have made a more diligent effort.
Key?
Child
Y, yes.
The key mentioned by the Chieftain was
Say, dear, Im unsure, but could this be before our fateful encounter? You wandered aimlessly, devoid of home or destination, until chance led you to copse within our forest, whereupon me and mypanions discovered you.
Hmm? No, the loss of the key urred quite recently, in truth. It slipped from my grasp as I stumbled and fell into the river, carried away by its current.
Huh!? Fell into the river? Ive not heard of this!
No, it was during my flight from the arranged marriage that I lost it, refusing to be bound to such a fate, I fled.
Suddenly, a lot of things happened wasnt the Chieftain originally born in that vige?
Besides, how does the Chieftain know so much about Shiznautmy?
No, before that, the key is
Hey, Chieftain. Do you mean this?
I took that out of my pocket.
Besides Treainar and Jamdiel, he was the other person who knew about Shiznautmy.
I got it from Paripi
Oh, indeed. Thats the Master Key, not only for the entrance to the deepest recesses of the ruins but also for activating the device nestled within the depths eh?
At that moment, the Chieftain stiffened as if time had stopped.
But a few secondster
E EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH !?? M, Master Key!? Wh, what!? F, furthermore th, the very one I dropped in the river and got washed away! Eh!? Why do you have it, Young man!? Did you pick it up!?
N-no I-I got it from an acquaintance
The Chieftain ran up to me screaming with his mouth so wide open that I thought his jaw might have fallen off.
No way
I picked it up. No, seriously. Really no lie 100%. I just happened to pick it up after it was dropped.
That Paripi, did he really just pick it up?! Whats more, is this something that belongs to the Chieftain?
Ha, haha what coincidence this is, or perhaps fate.
The Master Key dropped by the Chieftain was picked up by the surviving Six Supremacy, Paripi, who gave it to me in the future more than ten yearster, and the lost item transcended time and ended up here but that aside, one thing that bothers me is
Although the hour iste this one who in hells is he? Even ignoring his powers and abilities he is no mere elf.
Right. Who was the Chieftain?
Chapter 339: Late Questions
Chapter 339: Late Questions
Chapter 339 Late Questions
No~ astonished I am. Never did I expect that by chance the Young man I encountered would pick up my Master Key.
Y, yes then, I better return this
Hmm~ No, noo. Once lost and feeling parted from it, to find myself holding it anew it feels amiss.
But.
Young man, I extend thanks for the varied aid even concerning the Ogre, this time as well Thus, I shall repay your kindness. I shall pen the Destiny series aplenty, and use this Master Key for whatever benefit it may bring you, right?
The Master Key originally belonged to the Chieftain.
I thought I should return it, but the Chieftain refused, looking somewhat conflicted.
I could tell that he had some deep feelings about something.
Hey, Chieftain you who are you?
Hmm~?
I tried to ask the question that came to mind.
Treainar seemed to be concerned about that, too.
But the Chieftain turned away with a nk look on his face
Very well, then. Let us promptly make our way to the teleportation device, Ah~, what relief to forego the lengthy trek under a covert shroud~
Chieftain!
The Chieftain pped his hands and announced to everyone.
Instant teleportation, dear, does such a device truly exist?
Indeed. Or should I say, its quite near on foot. Come now, let us proceed forthwith.
Was he not willing to answer my question?
When I thought so
I am no fruit of love between two beings but rather an experiment spawned by sinister entities to test their craft
What?
Across the vast expanse of time fleeing, fleeing yearning for freedom.
The Chieftain muttered with a faraway look in his eyes.
The meaning of his words was beyond me.
But I could tell that he was saying something very important.
Haha, seems beyondprehension, I suppose. Yet I cant rify or rather, it would be challenging So for now, deem me but a humble writer. There is no falsehood in that, and even if I knew of Shiznautmy, Id harbor no intent to wield such technology to alter this world. Its beyond me It seems that they meant not to pass it down through the ages either.
Wh, what the hell ?
In that sense, I find you a curious soul as well, Young man. You seem an ordinary being yet there is an aura of extraordinariness about you Young man, who are you?
Im a normal person I do all kinds of things Im shy around the girl I like I rebel against my parents .
Ahahaha! In these turbulent times, what constitutes normal is quite the conundrum, isnt it? On the other hand, I do wonder what sort of environment you grew up in to consider yourself normal. However, rebellion against parents or affection for a maiden it seems you are in the throes of adolescence, indeed.
In the end, the Chieftain doesnt seem to be willing to reveal anything.
But I know that hes not normal.
And thats when I realized something.
Or rather, its quitete now, Ive neglected to ask about this for a long time
By the way, Chieftain, whats your name?
Eh? Eeeeeh? At this hour what do you ask? Oh, wait! Come to think of it, everyone does address me as Chieftain.
Yes, I hadnt heard the Chieftains name. It was really toote.
Oh, but the books in the Destiny series the authors name is Bamboo Shoots.
No, no, no, no, no! Thats but a pen name! Though I do wonder why I chose such a moniker Well, you may continue to call Chieftain, as you have been.
Saying this, the Chieftain looked embarrassed I mean, if youre embarrassed, why did you choose that name?
Ah, but as you have asked, then likewise, your name oh, everyone! Look! Therge boulder, there!
Eh? Is this it? Chieftain!
At that moment, the Chieftain asked me my name.
Not good. Thinking over it, I cant just casually give my name in this era, and I havent even revealed my name to Espie and yer.
I only gave pseudonyms, like Ragaan-Man or Tapir Bael.
But before they could ask for my name, we apparently arrived at the destination.
It looked like a huge boulder in the woods though
Is this the ce, where lies the technology of Shiznautmy?
Thats a big rock, Big brother.
But is this really it? Brother, what do you think?
Even my senses cannot detect any magical power Chieftain, are you sure this is it?
Say dear.
It just looked like a big rock. As expected, It was very hard to believe this had anything to do with such extraordinary technology.
It was the same for everyone, including Treainar.
Then, the Chieftain stood in front of the huge boulder
Well, let us behold. Young man, apply the Master Key unto this grand boulder.
Uh, y, yeah.
I took out the Master Key and held it over the boulder as I was told.
And then
[Master Key Confirmed]
Eeeeehhh!!???
The boulder spoke.
Hold on!?
The rock spoke!?
No, or is there someone inside?
Nu, wh, who in the world is it
Suddenly, the boulder uttered words, and everyone present jumped away.
Me, Espie and some others couldnt help but brace ourselves.
Simply
Child that voice.
Treainar?
The voice just now tis the same voice as that watch, is it not?
Watch? ah!
It finally dawned on me when he said that.
It was true.
The item that seemed to be the cause of our arrival in this era.
Wh, what do you mean?
Hey, Big brother, thats the voice from the watch that time, right? Please charge or something.
A watch spoke? What are you talking about, Espie? Brother, whats wrong?
I took the watch out from my pocket.
But, unlike the rock, this watch was still as silent as ever.
Hmm? whaaaaaaaaaaat!? Y, Young man! Huh? Thats Young man.
What?! What is it, Chieftain? Do you know this?
No, I know nothing about it ah Oh~~~~~, ah~~~~~~, oh~~~~~~~! Is that how it is Ah~
The Chieftain looked at the watch and uttered a cry of astonishment, like when he saw the Master Key.
Do you know about this too?
And while the Chieftain shouted, Ah~, he gradually nodded as if he was somewhat convinced.
Wait, what ails you? Say, this rock speaks, hey, dear!
Chieftain!?
From the perspective of the other elves, the situation makes no sense at all.
But the Chieftain didnt answer the question, he just stared straight at me
Say, Young man. From whence do you hail Future? Past? Which one?
Eeehh!??
This one!?
I and Treainar both felt the greatest shock at that question.
f future
Oh. Then, I dont wear it. Mine is in the past.
Huh!?
This will require some careful discussion with you, Young man, to ensure that it does not cause any inconvenience. But for now, let us focus on our journey ahead.
Not good. My heart was racing.
The Chieftain was not an ordinary elf Theres something else, something more incredible
[Door Unlock Password, Please]
It spoke again!??
At that moment, the boulder spoke again.
I dont know whats going on anymore.
In the midst of all this, the Chieftain calmly raised his hands towards the boulder
For the time being Kohon
Coughing lightly, he raised his hands
Lo, gate, heed my call and open the ancient doors sealed shut! Ah Open Sesame!
[Password Confirmed. Door Unlocked]
The next moment, the boulder shifted backward on its own, revealing a staircase leading to a pitch-ck basement beneath it.
Chapter 340: Passcode
Chapter 340: Passcode
Chapter 340 Passcode
Wh, a, a hidden passage!?
Are you, a-are certain this is safe? Will nothing emerge from within?
Theres such a thing in this forest!? I, Ive lived here for so long yet I was unaware.
Im scared, truly scared!
The elves were startled by the pitch-ck staircase.
And we were surprised ourselves.
Seriously incredible.
I never knew something like this was hidden
Big brother, its dark hug.
Hm, hmph. Youre such a coward, Espie, getting scared and clinging to Brother over something like this r, right? B, brother.
The Demon King Army didnt know much about this area but, not only did the elves live here, but there were even hidden passages like this.
What in the world would pop out? No, whats at the bottom of this?
Thats what I thought
Fear not. Nothing lies within these depths. The stairs descent is not so deep. Once we reach the bottom, we shall emerge into a spacious chamber. Ah, mind the stairs, lest you stumble. Once all have descended, we shall take count.
The Chieftain, without any warning, quickly descended down the stairs.
H, hey, Chieftain!
Say, dear, wait!
For the time being, the Chieftains appearance suggested that there was no danger here.
I dont know whats going on, but we made up our minds and went down the stairs one after the other.
This wall
Treainar?
Tis made to be indestructible even with great force I see I never thought something like this really existed..
On the way down the stairs, Treainar had a difficult expression on his face as he tried to make sense of the ceiling and walls.
Thats just how unusual this is.
You shouldmit this knowledge to memory, should you have need of it henceforth, Young man. Whether you choose to abuse it or not is a matter left to your discretion.
I could hear the voice of the Chieftain as he led the way.
Abuse its true that a hidden passage like this if the technology that lies in its depths was real, it would definitely be a threat if it was abused.
The threat is that neither the Demon King Army nor the Allied forces at that time knew the existence of this ce I mean, in this era, neither Treainar nor my father didnt know about it.
In other words, it is a secret that most people in the world do not know.
Yes, weve arrived.
Huh! Ah i, its so wide.
At the end of the stairs, there was a spacious, bleak space.
It was square-shaped,rge enough to hold a hundred of us, and in the center of the room was engraved a pattern that I had never seen before.
Wow, what is that? Here?
Dear nothing is here!
I dont feel any magic or anything Chieftain is the power that makes teleport possible really here?
We all looked around the room, but it was just dimly lit and nothing spectacr.
Is there really such a power in a ce like this
Big brother, is there something glowing?
Huh? Ah the Master Key is
What!? Young man, are you okay!?
I noticed it when Espie told me.
The Master Key was emitting light.
Was it resonating with something here just like at the entrance?
Oh~, fret not, Young man. There is no cause for concern. The device has merely responded, akin to the entrance. All is well.
However, the Chieftain doesnt seem to have any particr problem with it
Ah~, Activate Gate. Set transfer destination to [Institute Headquarters].''
[Command and Master Key Confirmed]
Wow, again!??
And then I heard that voice again.
I see, Chieftain! If youre going to do anything, at least exin what will happen before you do it! Dont frighten us!
I concur, dear!
Ah, I almost used magic in self-defense.
The Chieftain was calm, but for us, each and every single surprise was bad for our hearts.
[Please Note, For Security Reasons, A Passcode Is Required For Transfer To Headquarters. Provide A Passcode Please]
Ah~ the passcode for the headquarters Indeed, that was a necessity~ yet, the passcode for the entrance has remained unchanged over time Passcode: 4545072!
[Passcode Authentication Confirmed. System Startup]
as before, it remained unchanged Truly, a careless oversight.
But even so, the Chieftain nonchntly replied to the voice of someone who was not in front of him, as if he were working, and
Wow, what!?
Heh, the room the walls are spinning!?
Whats going on!?
Something strange was happening in the room.
No, not the room, but our eyes?
Suddenly, the wall in front of me seemed to be spinning at high speed, and the dimly lit space was illuminated by various lights, making it difficult to understand what was happening.
Treainar, is this okay!?
The principle is different from teleportation magic however, twisting time and space this without using any magical power.
Hey,e on!
I asked Treainar if it was okay, but he kept a serious look on his face and nodded curiously.
With things like this, I guess the current situation was okay for the moment
Hmm? Oh, the rotation is .
Then, gradually, the phenomenon of the scenery of the room spinning subsided, the light disappeared, and we Hmm?
Huh? Hey, Big brother here.
H-huh? The scenery in the room has changed a bit!?
Its true and theres a door in the corner of the room! There shouldnt have been anything like that!
Whats going on, Chieftain?!
Just when we thought the strange phenomenon had subsided, the room had changed?
The Chieftain smiled wryly
I have mentioned thus before? We were to warp. Here we stand, not within our familiar forest anymore. We tread beneath the realm of Shiznautmy.
Eeeehhh!!???
Huh!? This is the ce!?
Wha huh? Chieftain, wait a minute! No way, no, now were have we moved?
Yes. From hereon, we emerge briefly onto the surface and then traverse thend. Yet, much distance has been shortened, easing our path.
That cant be right?
Sure, we were told that we could warp with a teleportation device or something.
But between now and then, were already there?
No, warp was understandable when you consider magic, but in this situation where I didnt feel any magical power, even if told that the warp was finished, it doesnt make sense at all.
For now, shall we ascertain the truth by observing the surface? There appears to be a mechanism akin to an elevator that leads there ah, yet the presence of the Demon King Army does unsettle me Perhaps its prudent for just you, the Young mans group and I to venture forth initially, and gauge the situation??
With that said, the Chieftain led me, Espie, yer, and Larouiph to check on the situation above ground, while I was still confused.
Suddenly, something lifted me onto a tform, forcing me off my feet and up. No good. I dont understand everything anymore.
Also, it seemed like there was a considerable distance to the surface, so even my radar couldnt see what was happening on the ground.
Is this really Shiznautmy?
I dont get it. If wee up to the surface in such a confused state
TLs Note
Some readers will recognize the passcode from aaaaAAAAAAALLLL the way back in Chapter 6. Read thement section there for more rification hehe
Chapter 341: The Last Song
Chapter 341: The Last Song
Chapter 341 The Last Song
If the Demon King Army was on the surface, we would hurry back underground. That was the arrangement, but it was not necessary.
This is Shiznautmy
We were carried from underground to the surface, and the scene that opened before us was indeed a different ce from the forest of elves.
At the same time that I realized that we had really warped, I was confused by the scenery that was spreading before me.
Somehow beyond ruins or rubble
Shiznautmy, a City of Sorcery, which had left its mark on history this was it.
But, there were no houses or buildings here, much less people living here.
It had been used as one of the strongholds of the Demon King Army, but now it looked like nothing more than a wastnd, with tents and campfires scattered around.
Ah~ the city atop the institute has fallen to such ruin already
Theres no one here Big brother
Shiznautmy I didnt know anything about it except that it was destroyed by the Demon King Army and turned into a stronghold but this ce.
This is the first time Ive been here too
The site of the Demon King Armys camp Other than that, there was nothing left except for some rubble and debris.
Even if you were told that there was an undergroundboratory in a ce like this, you wouldnt be able to tell.
Treainar also looked somewhat self-deprecating. Well, Treainar took this city by his own hands and
This is .
For a moment, I thought about how this was where Sadizs birthce had been, but I quickly shook it off my mind, thinking there was no point in thinking about it too deeply.
However, whats going on? Goudas forces should have been here where is everyone?
Huh? Gouda was here Gouda Ugh~
Looking around, Larouiph voiced her doubts, and Espie, who has a history with Gouda, had an annoyed expression on her face.
Well, Espie met me after a failed attempt to assassinate Gouda, which was turned back on her.
Not long ago Goudas army engaged the Allied forces Gouda was killed by the Hero, Hiro.
Eeehh!??
Then, with Goudas death, the remnants of Goudas army retreated in a hurry Tomorrow, the Allied forces will reach the area and retake Shiznautmy. So today is the only time to move everyone.
As I looked around, I told everyone about the course of history that Treainar had taught me.
Naturally, everyone was surprised when I suddenly started talking about things like that.
Nonsense, among the Six Supremacy, Lord Gouda is like an immortal his death is inconceivable! What in hells is going on?!
Really!? Big brother, Gouda is dead!?
Hey, Brother! Youre saying that so easily, but Gouda is one of the Six Great Demon Generals, just like Norja and Hakuki! Such a legendary figure is dead!?
Well, of course that would be the natural reaction.
Its true. Thats the unreasonable superpower of the Hero, Hiro? And it looks like hes been obliterated without leaving a trace.
For me, hes a textbook figure, but for everyone living in this day and age, the Six Supremacy were such powerhouses.
In addition
Wait, just a moment how could you possibly know all this?
Un. Big brother, when did you find out?
Brother?
From the perspective of the Larouiph, this was a legitimate question.
Ive been with Larouiph for the past few days, and with Espie and the others for even longer, so when did I get this information?
Thats .
The Chieftain remained silent without saying anything.
And I also thought about it. Up until now, I would have tried to cover it up by saying all kinds of nonsense, but Ivee to this point now.
For me and Treainar, this ce was the goal of our journey in this era.
If so, this was the only ce for it.
And so, the whole truth
Hmm!? Hold on, child!
Huh Hmm?
??
But then it happened.
I was about to reveal the truth when Treainar stopped me.
is someone there?
What!?
I was careless.
I immediately activated my radar and, just as Treainar said, I detected the presence of someone other than us.
There was only one person.
Someones here!
Huh!?
Who is it Demon King Army?!
O, over there
Truly, alone Allied forces? no, that person!
Someone was walking alone from behind the rubble a little further away.
But its not human.
Ah~, I seriously thought I was a goner
Eeehh !??
The person who was talking to himself was not human.
What?
It was a demon!
An Ogre? No, its not. Its gigantic, but not an ogre.
It has huge beetle-like horns sprouting from its forehead, and its body is also covered with a pitch-ck epidermis.
And, in the giants chest, a red magma-like mass throbbed as if it were about to explode at any moment.
Oh i.. annot be it cannot be what the hell is this
And Treainar couldnt be more agitated.
Do you know?
What the heck Hmm? No, thats
But the magical power inside my body is going out of control and its going to explode any minute So I wonder if Im going to die this time? But I wont die for nothing Finally, Im going to wipe those bastards out with a huge explosion ah?
My eyes met with a mysterious demon Ah Huh? That face
Huh? Huh Huh?
Oh ah!?
Seeing him, Espie flinched in fear the moment their eyes met, and Larouiph was just dumbfounded
That face eh, no way!
Uh, wow Brother wh, what is happening?
It seems that yer and the Chief also knew that face, in other words, he was that much of a person.
I knew him too.
Ive seen him in textbooks!
These guys, what a surprise. Even my soulmates in heart have already retreated from this ce Heh, did theye here first to scope things out?
But thats not what surprised me.
And more than our reactions
It cannot be what is the meaning of this? This this is what in hells is this?!
An agitated Treainar eximed.
No wonder.
Because
But the brat of the Seven Heroes you guyswho are you? Allied forces together with elves and even the hunter kid I dont know But now that weve met, I must give you my name! Even if you know it, listen! And apud me!
Because, this was happening
You punks, with brains smaller than a single piece of my crap, listen up closely, you heeeeaaaarr. This is my final live act!
This such a thing Something like this!
I~ am~ Gouda~, the~ Great~ General~~~!!!
And at the very end, Treainar and I learned the true history that the world didnt know and was never told to future generations.
Chapter 342: The Worst Hypothesis
Chapter 342: The Worst Hypothesis
Chapter 342 ¨C The Worst Hypothesis
It was so loud that the air shook and I thought my ears would burst. A song? That wasn¡¯t an attack?!
But right now, this situation is more important than that.
I have to deal with the situation.
~Once upon a time, there was a legendary monster called the Titan God.
Its huge body was bigger than a mountain. With one step, thend would shake, and with one swing of the fist, thend would crack.
However, the Titan God was destroyed by the Holy Sword wielded by the Hero of Light~
Roughly, it should have been something like this.
That¡¯s the story we learned from picture books and textbooks.
Gouda was defeated by my father and died.
Even Tre¡¯ainar recognized this.
Even if he had managed to survive my father¡¯s sword, Gouda was still destined to die.
Then, by any chance, will my father and Gouda have a rematch?
¡°Ah~~~¡¡ What are you bumming about for, c¡¯mooooon, apud my beautiful vooooooooooooice!
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯m going crazy right now, but that¡¯s my thing! Get it, my personality! That¡¯s rock! Oooooh, long live the Great Demon King! Death to Hiro and humaaaanityyyyyyyy!¡±
No, he¡¯s gonepletely insane.
Should we run for it?
¡°G, General Gouda, I¡¯m Larou¡¯iph, a member of the Amazoness Unit of the Norja Army! Um¡¡ I heard that you were engaged in a battle with the heroes¡¡±
¡°Huhn? You bet! I fought that dumb sonuvabitch, and he blew me to smithereens with his ridiculous power!¡±
¡°S¡¡ smithereens.¡±
¡°But I¡¯ve got ¡®Super Magic Recovery¡¯! In other words, no matter how wrecked my body is, as long as I stay alive for even a few seconds¡¡ No, this is already way past the safe margin for an explosion¡¡ ah~~~, who cares about the details!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
It felt like I was about to be blown away by the gust of wind generated by a single yell.
And ¡°Super Magic Recovery¡±? Oh, I¡¯m pretty sure that¡¯s¡¡
¡ºIndeed, child, He possesses the same constitution as Machio of Cacretale¡¡.¡»
Yes, when I fought Mr. Machio in the Cacretale tournament, I heard something like that.
¨D¨DStructure of the human body¡ applying a load to the body through strength training, and so on, results in a temporary decline due to damage to muscle fiber damage and fatigue umtion, but by taking appropriate rest, it leads to greater muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy than before due to the recoil of recovery¡ tis called it Super Recovery. However, there are people in the world with a unique constitution¡ those who intentionally control and activate cells through the body without the need for rest, regenerate and restore the body and bones at super-speed, and gain more power than before. And tis not just about training. If you fracture, it will regenerate into a stronger and more resilient bone than before, and if you take damage in battle, it will make your body more resilient.
Does this mean that Gouda managed to survive my father¡¯s attack thanks to that ability?
Moreover, being torn apart has made him even stronger?
¡°Well, who has time to waste exining stuff to you morons! Don¡¯t listen to my exnations or stories! If you want to listen, listen to the sooooooong! From ancient times to modern times, rock and roll! Feel it, picture it, Koraaaaa!¡±
But, even though he got stronger, the bnce between his body, mind, and magic was already messed up.
It¡¯s like he had exceeded his recovery tolerance, and was going out of control¡¡
¡°Woooooooooow, let¡¯s go out with a huge bang! But first, I¡¯m gonna smash you guys to biiiiiits!!!¡±
¡°O, oh no! Everyone, scatter!¡±
Gouda was screaming, eyes drooling, and blood vessels all over his body that looked like they were on the verge of bursting as he pounced on us.
¡°Ugooouuuaaaahh! Beatles Impaaaaaaaaact!!!¡±
He jumped at us with his huge, sharp horns.
So fast! But it¡¯s too linear¡¡ it can be dodg¨D¨D¨D
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eeehh!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
We all jumped back on the spot to get some distance.
The next moment, the diving Gouda¡¯s horn hit the ground, and with a powerful explosion, it made a huge hole in the ground.
¡°Whoa!?¡±
¡°uh¡¡.¡±
¡°What¡¡ how ¡¡.¡±
¡°Such destructive force!¡±
¡°Wow~Wow~¡¡¡±
It¡¯s too big, and too deep.
If you get hit head-on by something like that¡¡
¡°Gahahahaha, it¡¯s no use running anywhere! The Alliance morons will be here soon, and they ain¡¯t got a clue anyway! I¡¯ll set off a huge fireworks show when they get here!! Gahaha, who knows what¡¯ll happen, I don¡¯t¡¡ I feel so incredibly hot and ready to burst, I can¡¯t even tell what¡¯s going on with me! The way it¡¯s going, not just this city, the whole region is gonna eat this explosion!¡±
You¡¯ve got to be kidding me.
I mean, Norja, Hakuki, and now Gouda!
¡°Hey hey, it¡¯s not just a fight¡ an explosion¡¡±
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Brother¡¡. I think we should get out of here¡¡.¡±
¡°Lord Gouda¡¡¡±
¡°Say now, he speaks of an impending explosion, should we not flee for the time being? The underground facility might withstand such a st¡¡.¡±
Run away?
The Chieftain says it casually, but is that the best thing to do?
But what will happen if I leave things like this?
If the underground can withstand this guy¡¯s explosion, does it matter?
No, in the first ce, the Allied Forces¡ Shiznautmy here¡¡
¡º¡¡ Historically¡¡ after Gouda¡¯s army retreated, Shiznautmy was retaken by the humans¡¡ that is just the flow. There is no record of the destruction of the Shiznautmy site due to arge explosion or of any damage being caused to the Allied Forces¡¡¡»
¡°Eh!??.¡±
At that time, Tre¡¯ainar told me the history again as I was perplexed.
In other words, this situation was unexpected even for Tre¡¯ainar¡¡
¡®Hey, hey, you don¡¯t think ¡¡ history has changed?¡±
No way, could it be because of all the things I¡¯ve done in this world?
¡ºNo¡¡ I do not believe so.¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºHistory has not changed¡¡ the fact that you existed behind the scenes of history is also the truth of history¡¡ in other words, this is also correct history.¡»
¡¸No, but Gouda is still alive¡¡ No¡ you don¡¯t think¡ he doesn¡¯t die like this, and will continue to survive in the future by pretending to be dead like Paripi¡¡¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t even know that Paripi was alive.
Then, if the same goes for Gouda¡¡
¡ºNo, this one is not so dexterous¡¡ and most of all, as he says, his body¡¡ tis exceeded the tolerance of Super Magic Recovery, the enormous amount of magic power is out of control, the circuits in his body are ruined, and will explode at any moment¡¡ this one will likely perish from it¡¡¡»
¡°No, no, but¡¡ if that¡¯s how the explosion happens¡¡ what about my father, the Allied Forces¡ Shiznautmy?¡¯
If the course of history was correct, that Gouda dies in a huge explosion, then what happens to my Father and the Allied forces because of the explosion?
¡ºThe fact that there was no damage¡¡ even after that explosion¡ means that ¡®someone¡¯ must have intervened in the situation somehow.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
Someone intervened?
In this case, who was¡¡
¡°Oh¡¡ it¡¯s me!??
In other words, the fact that my father and the others didn¡¯t suffer any damage at the hands of Gouda, who was still alive like this, means that I stopped the explosion behind the scenes of history.
¡°Th, that stupid old man! Paripi was alive, Gouda is like this, Hakuki is like that, Jamdi¡¯el, Norja and La¡¯iphant¡¡ I mean, the Seven Heroes were supposed to rival the Six Supremacy. Why didn¡¯t they take down at least one!!¡±
¡°B, Big brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Brother.?¡±
The unexpected truth.
¡°What¡¯s more, you couldn¡¯t even stop the final blow of a Six Supremacy¡¡ my father ¡¡ ha¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡ºHuh!? Child, for now, do not think about anything else, concentrate on what lies before you!¡»
¡°Huh? Well, wait¡¡ here¡¡ if it¡¯s the course of history that I¡¯m going to do something here¡¡ then.¡±
¡ºChild!¡»
At that moment, I suddenly wondered.
Just as Tre¡¯ainar was flustered, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it.¡± No, wait. Wait?
What will happen if I just don¡¯t do anything unnecessary and leave Gouda to explode?
¡ºChild! Look ahead! Child!¡»
Would my father die? No, even if he hadn¡¯t died, it would have done a lot of damage to the Allied forces.
If that had happened, how would the war have turned out?
How would the war situation between the Allied Forces of Humanity and the Demon King Army have changed?
Wouldn¡¯t the Demon King Army have an overwhelming advantage?
No, wait. If we go back to the beginning¡¡ what would have happened if I hadn¡¯t saved Espie from the failed assassination of Gouda?
I hate to think about it, but Espie would have died. In other words, one of the Seven Heroes would have fallen. It would have been a major loss of strength and morale for humanity.
What about Norja?
What about Aonii and the others?
¡ºChild! Do not think foolish thoughts! Concentrate! Look ahead!¡»
¡°Big brother, what are you doing!? You¡¯re staring nkly!¡±
¡°Brother!?¡±
When I came to this era, I tried not to do too many unnecessary things.
That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t willingly dare to fight the Demon King Army.
But as it turned out, that was totally impossible.
Because I saved Espie. As a result, the Demon King Army lost the chance to defeat one of the Seven Heroes and reduce their strength.
I fought Norja. As a result, Ghenkan and other captive men were released. A number of Allied soldiers were among those men.
What about Aonii? A Champion of the Demon King Army with the title of Great Hundred whatever. Without a doubt, he must have been a great force in the Demon King Army. But he died to protect me.
What would have happened if I hadn¡¯t done anything?
Espi would be dead.
Norja would not have retreated and would have inflicted damage on the Allied forces and humanity.
Aonii would be alive and well, and as a soldier in the Demon King Army, he would be a threat to humanity.
And what about Gouda here?
¡ºChild! Pay it no mind!¡»
What would have happened if I hadn¡¯t done anything about Gouda¡¯s explosion?
Wouldn¡¯t the Demon King Army have an overwhelming advantage in the war?
¡¸Because I came to this era, because I did unnecessary things¡¡ me¡¡ it¡¯s all on me!¡¹
¡ºChild! Do you hear my voice?! Child!¡»
If the war had progressed with the overwhelming advantage of the Demon King Army¡¡ if I hadn¡¯t done anything unnecessary¡ what would have happened?
¡°Oh¡¡.¡±
¡ºDrat¡¡ this durd ¡¡.¡»
At that moment, my mind and heart remembered the various events that had happened since that day when I met Tre¡¯ainar.
He was strict, scary, but interesting, fun, strong, reliable, respectable, grateful¡¡ I¡¯m grateful to have met him¡¡ I¡¯m grateful¡ so grateful¡¡
I can¡¯t thank him enough¡¡ and now I¡¯ve juste up with a ridiculous hypothesis. No, it¡¯s not a hypothesis anymore.
If I hadn¡¯t done anything unnecessary¡¡ the Demon King Army would have defeated humanity¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar wouldn¡¯t have died, right?
¡ºDo not be conceited¡¡ you durd ¡¡.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ I¡¡¡¹
¡ºThe Battle with Norja¡¡ What did I say to you who were hesitant to save the yer due to your concern over the impact of the battle on history?¡»
Chapter 343: Intermission (Master)
Chapter 343: Intermission (Master)
The child arrived at a theory. Said theory being, ¡°What if I¡«¡±.
Tis certainly not that such thoughts have not urred to me.
The child recalls the moment he saved Espie in that forest, but my first thoughts were from even earlier.
When the child saved a younger Hiro. That was where it all started.
Had the child not saved Hiro at that time¡¡ even if share luck had been enough to save him, he would not have felt any kind of yearning for justice.
It all started from that moment, and it was during his skirmish with Koujiro that I became certain.
In that skirmish, the child activated the Breakthrough. Koujiro experienced it. The child simply did not know, but it was a crucial point.
However, what of it?
I lost.I am dead.
What does it matter if I know that now?
Hence why I pushed his back so many times.
¡ºChild, I should have told you¡¡¡»
¡°Eh¡ but¡¡.¡±
During the battle with Norja, I said as much to the child, as he hesitated about whether or not to save yer due to his concern about the impact on history.
¨D¨DChild¡ even if the world we are in is in the past¡ the present, this moment here with you and I, is all that matters. Then, in this moment, forget about the passage of time and everything else. Just face the reason you absolutely must fight¡ right in front of you¡. Did I not say it in the woods where you first met Espie in this era? I suppose tis the way of history¡ you have no choice but to act!
¨D¨DBut¡¡
¨D¨DBesides that, no matter what sort of influence you have on the Demon King Army of this era¡ do not feel guilty for my sake. I am not so daintily inclined as to be perceived in such a manner by you.
¨D¨DTre¡¯ainar¡¡
¨D¨DDo not feel sorry for the Great Demon King. Do listen to the words of your master.
There was no deceit in that. As such, I told the child to fight without worry.
However¡¡
¡°But¡¡ back then, ¡¡ so far¡ we were talking about ¡¡ ¡®what if¡¯.¡±
¡ºNu?¡»
¡°But¡¡ this time is different¡¡ it¡¯s not certain¡¡. whatever I manage to do here, for you¡¡ No matter how you look at it¡¡±
Exactly.
Gouda¡¯s death was undeniably the signal for humanity¡¯s great counterattack.
The defeat of one of the legendary Six Supremacy significantly boosted humanity¡¯s morale, and conversely, cast a shockingly dark shadow on the Demon Realm and the Demon King Army.
Had the child done nothing, the Demon King Army would not have been defeated.
I would not have died.
However, child¡ then¡ I would not have met you, would I?
It is all connected. Even this moment.
¡°Ugoraaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!! Time to st oooooooooooooooff!!!¡±
Even if your actions led to my death, I was also the one who trained you.
¡°Big brother, we have to do it! ¡¾Fluffy World¡¿!¡±
¡°Espie, we have to work together! You too Brother!¡±
¡°Kuh, what has happened¡ Lord Gouda has gone berserk¡¡.¡±
¡°This is troubling¡¡ with no animals, insects, or birds nearby, I am rendered most useless here¡¡.¡±
Tis merely an ironic coincidence, and you need not feel responsible for it.
¡°Ugoraaaaaaaaaaah! Y, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahh!!
I shall say it again and again.
The responsibility falls on me.
For Aonii¡¡ as well as Gouda¡¡
¡°G, Gouda, h, he¡¯s getting bigger and bigger¡¡
¡°What¡¯s more, his body is even stronger!?¡±
¡°This is Lord Gouda¡¯s power¡¡ not only Super Magic Recovery, but also the ability to grow to a gigantic size through physical maniption.¡±
¡°N, no, in his state, such actions would hasten the explosion¡¡
I shall say it again and again.
¡ºI shall say it again and again. Child, do not be conceited.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¡¹
¡ºYou, still but half a man, merely wandering around, yet believe you could threaten the life of this all-knowing, all-powerful, and almighty me?¡»
Tis a lie.
You have grown stronger.
Enough to confront even one of the Six Supremacy.
If neither the Demon King Army nor I were aware of such an existence, and it was operating behind the scenes in the world and history, it would be a threat.
From my point of view at the time, such was the way of things¡¡ however¡¡
¡ºSeeing as youck understanding, I shall ask you once again. Child, who am I?¡»
¡¸The Great Demon King¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¡¹
Indeed. Tre¡¯ainar, the Great Demon King, would not have overlooked it¡¡ now however¡¡
¡ºDurd. I am¡.. your Master.¡»
¡¸¡¡¡¡¡¹
¡ºAnd as my disciple, you must live up to your Master¡¯s expectations¡¡ and make me proud!¡»
So, apologies¡¡ Gouda ¡¡ like Aonii, you too ¡¡
¡ºHowever, child¡¡ if you still suffer the guilt¡¡ then do me one favor.¡»
¡¸A favor? For you?¡¹
¡ºDo not run away from Gouda¡¯s end, face it.¡»
Gouda. You were also my pride.
I am truly sorry that the one I raised was the one to intervene.
So, at the very least ¡¡
¡ºIf Gouda¡¯s death from the explosion is inevitable, then do not let him die alone for no reason¡¡ At the very least, let him give it his all in the end¡¡.¡»
Rather than going berserk and dying in an explosion, let him battle an extraordinary opponent at the end, let him give it his all, and let him die with no regrets¡¡
¡ºPlease respond to Gouda¡¯s end¡»
¡¸¡¡ respond.¡¹
¡ºThis is all I can ask of you¡¡ tis something only you can do.¡»
¡°Oh¡¡ uooooooh! Osu!!¡±
Shaking off his tears, the child once again had a good look in his eyes.
Yes, that will do.
¡°Espie! yer! Larou¡¯iph! Chieftain! Everyone, stay back! I¡¯ll handle this one by myself!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eh!?¡±¡±¡±¡±
And if you respond, it would be a fair one-on-one?
¡°Big brother, what are you talking about!? This guy is totally different from those Ogres back then!?¡±
¡°Brother. I think the best thing to do here is to work together and then get away when the time is right, right?¡±
¡°Do you even understand what you¡¯re saying?¡±
¡°Young man, proceeding on your own is not realistic¡¡?¡±
Well, tis a natural reaction I suppose. Fighting alone against a berserk Gouda is bound to elicit such reactions.
¡°Still, don¡¯t interfere, ever!¡±
¡°B, Big, brother¡¡ why¡¡
However, the child still insisted on a one-on-one battle and told them not to interfere¡¡ No, child¡¡ I asked that you face Gouda¡¯s end, but I never implied you fight one-on-one, did I?
And then¡¡
¡°It can¡¯t be helped. My Master is the kind of guy who wouldn¡¯t be satisfied with a final battle like that¡¡ with a fight or a settlement where multiple people beat up on one person.¡±
¡ºHuh? ¡¡ ah¡ is that so.¡»
Oh, indeed.
¨D¨DThe Hero party was very obscene and could not read the situation! Tis no exaggeration to say they know not the word fair! Aaaah, so abominable!!
On the day we first met, I mentioned as much when asked about Hiro.
¨D¨DThe very height of cowardice! Is that all right? At the final battle¡ They invaded the Great Demon Pce¡.and the seven warriors led by Hiro reached my base.
¨D¨DSeven people¡ Oh¡¡ ¡®The Seven Heroes of Humanity¡¯¡¡.
¨D¨DYes! However, usually when ites to that junction, shouldn¡¯t single battle between the Demon King and the strongest hero decide the fate of the world? But they¡ all seven people at once attacked in a crowd! Including your mother!
I would utter such pettyints, unable to ept my defeat.
¨D¨DExactly! Moreover, as if it was not ridiculous enough, that Hiro¡ ¡°Humanity all over the world, grant us your power¡± to implore such an outrageous appeal, and all mankind did send power to Hiro, beaten I was by a huge sword thatbined all that power together! Absolutely obscene!
Child, are you considering my words from back then and saying that you will repay not only Gouda but me as well?
¡°Oh? Alone? Goraaaaaah, you think you can take me on alone!? may be crazy, but I got what you just said! Are you mocking me?!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think I can take you lightly. But there¡¯s a reason for this. One of the Six Supremacy, the Titan God Gouda! I¡¯m going to keep youpany until the end!¡±
¡°Ah, huh? This little shit suddenly acting like a big shot! Really, aside from the Seven Heroes and the Hunter brat, who in Hells are you anyway!¡±
Gouda, who knows nothing about such a child, asked.
Who are you? And.
Then the child said to Gouda¡¡ no, tis not only Gouda¡¡
¡°Who am I? Then. I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
Perhaps his words were meant to convey that ¡°this is thest battle in this era¡± or his resolve to make it so.
Hence why he would like to express his gratitude to Espie and yer, who were the bonds that were forged in this era¡¡
¡°My name is Earth Lagann!!¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±Eeeeehh!??¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°A man who has transcended time toe to this age, and who will ept your final moments!¡±
For the first time, the child roared his name without pretense to the inhabitants of this world and this era.- Twitter

Chapter 344: Man
Chapter 344: Man
¡°¡¡ Arsu? ¡¡ Earth? Is that, Big brother¡¯s name?¡±
¡°Espie, you didn¡¯t know!? No, it¡¯s true that we¡¯ve always called him Brother¡¡±
¡°Not Ragan-man¡¡ ¡¡ Earth Lagann¡ Huh? Lagann? I believe Lagann is the same family as Hiro¡¡ is he from the same family as Hiro?!?¡±
¡°¡¡ Heh~¡¡¡±
At this moment, I¡¯m going to give it everything I¡¯ve got.
The legendary Six Supremacy. The existence that was a rival of my parents.
So far, I¡¯ve traded blows with Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, Norja, and Hakuki.
But looking back, I wasn¡¯t fighting alone.
Against Jamdi¡¯el and Norja, it took two people with advice from Tre¡¯ainar.For Paripi, not only Tre¡¯ainar, but also support from Sadiz, Mr. Machio, and Phianse.
As for Hakuki, I can¡¯t say that we fought.
In other words. This will be the first time.
¡°Let¡¯s go, Gouda!¡±
I said I would fight alone.
It¡¯s not only that I won¡¯t need the support of Espie, yer, Larou¡¯iph, or the Chieftain.
I won¡¯t even take Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s advice here.
¡ºIndeed. You will have to push forward with all your might!¡»
Truly, I will fight with my own strength.
This is the first match between me and a Six Supremacy.
¡°Lagann? Ah~¡¡ It¡¯s that damn name, ain¡¯t it? I¡¯m gonna stomp on you and crush you down!¡±
Gouda has gotten bigger. Much bigger. Just like Norja.
The muscles that have swollen up to the point where you can see them, you can feel the tremendous power.
If you add not only his strength but also his weight, his destructive power should be iparable to that of Mr. Aka and Mr. Machio.
But¡¡
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
¡°Uruaaaaaaaaaaaaeeh!!¡±
His swings were too big. The initial motion was fully telegraphed.
If it hits, death is inevitable¡¡ I¡¯m already used to such battles!
¡°Magical Footwork!¡±
¡°Anh?¡±
Huge feet stomped and caused tremors, and huge fists cracked the ground.
But, my core and footwork weren¡¯t shaken by the slightest tremor.
I dodged the shattered rock debris and the rising dust.
In addition¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Sonic Flicker¡¿!¡±
¡°Hmm? Obueh!?¡±
I shot a shockwave towards Gouda¡¯s eyeballs from his blind spot.
Gouda quickly blinked to block the attack on his eyeballs, but the veins on his forehead grew as he clearly got irritated.
¡°C¡¯moooooooon?! You little punk! First you scuttle around, now you throw ps?! I knew you were bluffing about taking me on. Still calling yourself a man!? Where are your damn b©–©–s!?¡±
¡°Shut up, I¡¯m just getting warmed up!¡±
¡°Warmed up!? Don¡¯t mess around, men don¡¯t need warming up! Just go in as is and wreck shit up, like a man, man, maaaaaaaaaaan! Uooooooooh, I¡¯m a man among meeeeeeeeen!!¡±
With his physique and durability, there¡¯s no way to deal fatal damage with just a series of lefts.
But this was all just preparation fornding the big blow.
Move your feet and create a rhythm with your left.
Frustrated, Gouda threw more punches and stomps that left more openings.
Monotonous, sloppy, and easy to read.
¡°Ugaaa! Hmmkeeaaahhh! Nudryaaaaaah!¡±
Even so, he¡¯s now a full-blown rampaging monster.
Uncontrobly violent, and yet, rather liberating.
In terms of sheer size, he was about the same as Norja.
But, his strength and destructive power were greater than Norja¡¯s.
However, he doesn¡¯t have the sameplex movements or speed as Norja¡¯s tails.
After concentrating and witnessing a few attacks, your eyes get used to it.
¡°Get the hell outta my face!!¡±
¡°Here!¡±
Gouda¡¯s downward left shot hit the ground. But I ran around it.
The moment Gouda was about to pull back the punch that failed tond¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Phantom Sonic Impact¡¿!!¡±
¡°¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deh!?¡±
A counter-shockwave aimed at the moment the opponent pulls back their attacking arm.
A shockwave that aimed not simply at the blind spot of the opponent¡¯s vision, but at the blind spot of the opponent¡¯s consciousness.
The huge blow of the swirling Great Magic Spiral struck Gouda directly on his temple.
¡°¡¡ ahn¡¡?¡±
He was hit by the shockwave of the Great Demon Spiral¡¡ but there was no sign of him being pierced or blown away.
Still, the sudden blow caused the huge Gouda to stagger and get down on one knee in front of me.
¡°Ah¡¡¡±
¡°Yo¡¡ that huge face hase much closer¡¡ so I can smash it this time!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Gouda¡¯s face, which was big and high up, was so close that I could reach it if I jumped.
¡°Suha¡¡ Breakthrough. And ¡¡.¡±
¡°N, nu!?¡±
After taking a breather with Magical Breathing, I activated the Breakthrough again and made a Great Magic Spiral.
Jumping, I jumped onto Gouda¡¯sp, since he was down on one knee, and used it as a stepping stone¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Breeeeeaaaak¡¿!!!¡±
Instead of a shockwave, I¡¯ll hit a huge magic spiral directly on that big face.
¡°¡¾Beatles Head¡¿!!!¡±
¡°Nuh!?¡±
In an instant, Gouda greeted me with a headbutt aimed about my head.
Rather than dodge, he jumped in¡¡
¡°Tsu, go, ah, nuoooooooooooooooohh!!¡±
Hard! Heavy! Strong!!??
My body was blown away so easily it was ridiculous.
¡°Gah, ow, gu, ke, ke, geha!?¡±
I repeatedly hit the ground, rolled over, and the Great Demon Spiral that I attacked him with was shattered, causing severe pain and numbness in my right arm.
A dull pain ached all over my body¡¡
¡°Big brother!?¡±
¡°Brother!¡±
Ouch. I didn¡¯t expect to be hit back like that.
¡°Tsu¡ I never thought¡ there would be someone who would jump face-first into the Great Magic Spiral¡¡.¡±
After all, he¡¯s a monster, and it¡¯s not going to be easy.
I felt pretty sure.
¡°I can¡¯t take this anymore! Gouda, I¡¯ll blow you away!¡±
¡°Brother, we¡¯ll also¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°I told you to stay out of this, Espie! yer!¡±
So I¡¯m not taking back what I said before.
¡°Espie, yer¡¡ something like this¡¡ if you¡¯re going to fight one of the Six Supremacy, it¡¯s a matter of course¡¡ it¡¯s something you should expect. So don¡¯t make a fuss about it¡¡ I was bounced back, but I haven¡¯t lost yet.¡±
¡°Big brother¡¡ but, but! You can¡¯t do it alone!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. This is the task assigned to me alone. It¡¯s not a matter of whether I can do it or not, it¡¯s something I have to do.¡±
Stand up. No problem. I can still move. I have a lot of stamina left. The pain can be ovee with determination and perseverance.
¡°Oraa! I can still go, Gouda! I¡¯ve got more than enough to give!¡±
I roared that I could still fight.
But on the other hand, Gouda, who had blown me away, looked at me as if he had calmed down, aplete change from his previous boisterousness.
¡°¡¡ how can you use that technique? Punk, seriously¡¡ What¡¯s going on?¡±
The Great Demon Spiral? Breakthrough?
Even after losing control and going berserk, he still couldn¡¯t help but wonder.
The truth¡¡ I can¡¯t say it in this state yet¡¡
¡°Earth Lagann, just etch it in your mind for now.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh? I mean, Lagann¡¡ Oh~ yes, that¡¯s what you said¡¡ Ah~¡¡ Well, are you that damn hero¡¡ Hiro¡¯s brother? A rtive?¡±
I am his son. But don¡¯t lump me in with him.
¡°I may be rted to the Hero, Hiro, by blood, but that doesn¡¯t matter at all!
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s me! It¡¯s not one of the Heroes who will see your end, it¡¯s not a member of the Allied Forces, it¡¯s just a man named Earth Lagann! You, watch me until the very end!!¡±
I¡¯m not the son of a Hero. Look at me.
Look at me as a man, not as a title.
I told Gouda, one of the Six Supremacy, the feelings I had for the people around me for a long time.
Then Gouda said¡¡
¡°Is that right¡¡ I don¡¯t really get it, but what I do get is¡ punk, you¡¯ve got a lotta spirit¡ like a man¡¯s man!¡±
Although his mind and body were already on the verge of copse, Gouda still forced a smile on his face and said that to me.- Twitter

Chapter 345: That Technique a Second Time
This time, Tre¡¯ainar would not fight. But he was watching us.
And he asked me to do this.
He said only I could do it.
I wonder what this feeling of tion is.
It felt even better than when Tre¡¯ainar pushed my back in the Imperial Match.
There¡¯s no way I¡¯ll lose.
¡°Fuh~, fu~¡¡ ah~¡¡ I¡¯m so gonna mess you up¡ Earth, was it?¡±
¡°Come on!¡±
Gouda¡¯s breathing was ragged as he called out my name. But, he seemed much calmer than before.But that was more like the calm before the storm¡¡ the calm before the huge explosion, and there was no change in the chilling pressure in the air.
And then¡¡
¡°I could crush you, but¡ you¡¯d just squirm around and get away¡ so, let¡¯s do this instead.¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°Ha, ha, ndraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Gouda roared again. But, he didn¡¯t roar and pounce, just growled on the spot and gathered all his strength.
What was he about to do?
At that moment, a change urred in Gouda¡¯s whole body.
¡°What, Gouda¡¯s body ¡¡.¡±
¡°Gouda¡¯s body, which had been gigantic, is now back to normal¡¡ ? No¡¡ as if it had been shrunk.¡±
¡°Lord Gouda, what are you nning¡¡? I never thought you would undo your gigantic form¡¡±
¡°No¡¡ that is¡¡ rather than merely undoing¡¡ it¡¯s more akin to forciblypressing an inting form¡¡.¡±
Gouda was trying to return from his gigantic size.
But, rather than simply releasing the gigantic growth, it seemed like he was forciblypressing his muscles in, as the Chieftain said.
¡°Ka, ha ¡¡ nggu, gnu nunu¡¡.¡±
Gouda was trying to get his body back to normal, as if someone who was wearing baggy clothes was now suddenly wearing tight clothes of a different size.
¡°What are you doing¡?¡±
¡°Heh, hehe¡¡ with magic and muscle maniption¡¡ well, you see¡¡ by doing this¡¡ I won¡¯t lose sight of you¡¡ by squeezing, I became lighter¡¡ and also ¡¡ faster.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°Well, I forced it¡¡ so with this stimulus¡¡ the explosion countdown just got shorter¡¡ but it doesn¡¯t matter, cause I¡¯ll finish you off in an instant! You¡¯re not getting away anymore, you bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!¡±
His size has returned to normal. But, because he forcibly contracted his muscles, they became even denser, and were in a state of extreme excitement.
And at the same time, I realized that I had seen Gouda¡¯s current state somewhere before.
That was in Cacretale¡¡
¡°Huh!? That¡¯s right, Mr. Machio¡¯s¡¡. Pump Up!¡±
Control of the muscles and blood flow.
As a result, Mr. Machio has dramatically increased his power and speed.
Was it the same? No, it¡¯s greater than that.
And the next moment, Gouda kicked the ground¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Drop dead, goraaaaaaaaaa!¡±
¡°Ha¨D¨D¨D¨D ¡°
So fast! Avoid¡¡ Impossible, the trajectory then¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Parry¡¿!¡±
There¡¯s no time to dodge with steps.
The only option was to change the trajectory of Gouda¡¯s punches, which fly in a straight line. Perfectly¡¡ repelled¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Slipping Away¡¿!¡±
Gouda¡¯s punch flew towards my face without hesitation, and I twisted my neck to parry it.
¡°Wh, aaaaaaa~~~, what¡¯s going on?!¡±
What a punch. The pressure of his fist blows away all the debris in the distance.
The destructive power remains the same as before, but the speed has increased to a new level.
¡°One more shot!!¡±
This time, Gouda threw a left hook. And the next moment, only Gouda¡¯s left arm began to swell.
Is this a type of muscle maniption? By strengthening the muscles only where you need to? You can even do that?
But it¡¯s a simple left hook, just swinging his arm around.
The first shot was faster than I expected, so my movement was dyed, but if I calmly watched Gowda¡¯s muscle movements, his line of sight, his elbows, fists, and joints, I could predict what wasing.
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Anh?¡±
I ducked on the spot to avoid a left hook.
And at the same time, it¡¯s an opportunity. This was Gouda¡¯s bosom, and looking up, I see an unprotected jaw.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Frog Punch¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
From a crouching position, jump like a frog and hit an uppercut¡¡
¡°Wha, th, the heck!?¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡¡±
Is the hardness of his body the same even after the size reduction? No, rather, did the increased density make it harder?
Even though the uppercut was perfectly timed and angled, instead of knocking off his head, my fist hurt.
¡°Don¡¯t¡ mess with¡ me¡¡±
The shockwave of the roar wasing. Ah, I can¡¯t stay here
¡°¡¾Great Demon Escape¡¿¡±
¡°Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!¡±
So loud, I felt like my eardrums were going to burst. I mean, just screaming was enough to create a powerful shockwave.
But¡¡
¡°Ahh¡¡¡±
My anticipation was quicker. I managed to get out of range.
¡°Tch, again¡¡ you just keep runniiiiiiiiiiig! If you¡¯re a man, stand still and fight meeeeeeeeeee!!¡±
Gouda was still chasing. He hunched over and took an animal-like stance.
Then, in the next moment, Gouda¡¯s legs bulged out, and he flew straight at me with the force of a cannonball.
This explosive speed¡¡ if it were a linear movement, it would be faster than me in my breakthrough state.
A feint¡¡ no, this guy doesn¡¯t care about feints, he¡¯s just flying straight at me.
Then¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Swim¡¿!¡±
¡°Nga!?¡±
In a low stance, I ced my arms over Gouda¡¯s head and dodged sideways in a swimming motion.
¡°Th, this guy¡¡ Ha, ha¡¡ running around again, urraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!¡±
I sidestepped Gouda as if I was slipping through, but Gouda stopped abruptly and then turned around and tried to hit me with a straight right.
It¡¯s monotonous. I can match this.
¡°¡¾Great Demon Cross Counter¡¿!¡±
Cross counter on the right. Light cross.
¡°T-uh¡nga¡¡ ¡¡¡±
¡°Nuh¡¡ brat¡¡¡±
Ah, that was dangerous¡¡ my right arm got hurt when the Great Magic Spiral was shattered¡¡ now, the bones in my fist were broken, my elbow¡and my shoulder?
I don¡¯t have much strength¡¡ even if I hit him like this, the opponent won¡¯t take much damage, and I¡¯m the one taking more damage¡¡ but, so what?
¡°¡¾Great Demon Heartbreak Shot¡¿!¡±
¡°Ugh!?¡±
Gouda didn¡¯t waver even after my cross counter, so I mmed my left fist into his heart.
Even if there was no damage, it made Gouda¡¯s body stiffen for a moment.
At that moment, I pulled back and umted magical power to the left¡¡
¡°Oooooooh, ¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Break¡¿!!!¡±
¡°Ubueh!??
I mmed the Great Magic Spiral into Gouda¡¯s unprotected abdomen.
Totally went in. It was also rewarding.
¡°Open up a windhole and get blown away!!¡±
His abdominal muscles were being shaved in.
I could feel it intuitively. His muscles were certainly too strong and too hard.
But, in terms of body hardness, Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades, was better.
Even the Great Magic Spiral was no match for Vasr, but Gouda¡¯s body could barely withstand it.
If the tip dipped even slightly into the abdominal muscles, the rest will be instantaneous¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Don¡¯t mess with meeeee!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Dammit, went in too deep!? Need to create some distance¡¡ too slow. I was so focused on the Great Magic Spiral that I stopped in ce.
¡°I¡¯ve got yooooooou!!¡±
¡°Guh, ah!?¡±
While taking my Great Magic Spiral to the belly, Gouda rather forcibly moved forward, using his abdominal muscles to shatter my attack while it carved into him. Then he spread his arms wide and wrapped them around my back to hold me tight.
No good. I can¡¯t escape this restraint!
¡°Huff, huff, I could just crush you like this, but I¡¯d rather smash you into a pulp from the top of your head!¡±
Gouda lifted me over his head.
Not good. Are you going to lift me up and m me down like this?
This was certainly the same as Mr. Machio¡¯s powerbomb.
If he does that to me, let alone on the top of my head¡¡ Powerbomb?
¡°Here!¡±
¡°Ah?¡±
Immediately, I firmly mped Gouda¡¯s head with both legs and spun as if flying diagonally backward¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Corkscrew Head Scissors¡¿!!¡±
¡°Ngo!?¡±
Using the recoil, I mmed Gouda¡¯s head into the ground by his horns.
¡°W, wow! B, Big brother! That¡¯s amazing! It¡¯s so fast I can¡¯t understand it at all, but it¡¯s amazing!¡±
¡°A, awesome¡¡ so awesome! That¡¯s amazing, Brother! Not only did he avoid all of Gouda¡¯s attacks, but he even countered with a m! That was awesome too! So cool!¡±
¡°W-what a dynamic yet fast-paced attack and defense¡¡ I can¡¯t keep up¡¡ these two ¡¡.¡±
¡°Oh, oooooooh, could it be, from the ancient tomes¡ the Frankensteiner!?¡±
I almost died, but I survived because it was just like that time.
This was the technique I showed off in my battle with Mr. Machio in Cacretale.
I asked Tre¡¯ainar to teach me, but I thought I would never use such a shy technique again except for that one fight with Mr. Machio.
¡°Damn it, for all your grit and swagger, you resort to nothing but tricks¡¡ Earth! But¡¡ what you do makes me feel good¡¡ thanks to that, even with my body going crazy and feeling like I¡¯m about to pass out¡ you bring me back every time¡ ah, ah, hn?¡±
¡°Damn it, I mmed the Great Magic Spiral into his belly, and mmed his brain too¡¡ even though it should have done some damage, he got right back up¡¡.¡±
I was able to pull out even such a technique in an instant.
No advice from Tre¡¯ainar this time. But all of Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s teachings were now ingrained in me.
Special Shoutout to all my Patrons for the Overwhelming Support!!

God-ying Demon King ¨C Chapter2913th Nov 2023In "God-ying Demon King"
Chapter 346: Concentrating on Parts
¡°Zeh, zeh, Earth¡¡ if you ain¡¯t keeping things interesting, oooooooooh?¡±
From the start of the battle, Inded a good number of attacks.
Great Demon Flicker.
Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Sonic Impact.
Great Demon Cross Counter.
Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Break.
But, far from being mortally wounded, Gouda roared even more ferociously.
Although I can¡¯t be sure of the damage, I have a feeling that the effect of the pump-up was significant, making his breathing difficult.
¡°Heh, since I used a technique that I thought I would never use again, doing the same thing two or three times makes no difference. If you like it, how about I do it some more?¡±¡°Anh?¡±
I¡¯m in pretty bad shape myself.
My magical power can be restored with Magical Breathing. I also have my stamina.
But my right arm was broken.
That wouldn¡¯t stop me, though.
What matters is what I can do in my current state and what I should do next.
¡°Keh, you little sneak, always running around with your little tricks, and now you¡¯re getting cocky!¡±
But Gouda, not caring about his exhaustion and crumbling body that was about to copse at any moment, came at me at high speed.
If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have no choice but to be reckless.
Instead of running around until Gouda self-destructs, I moved around just to defeat him.
¡°Fuh~¡¡ Magical Radar from the Zone!
I also activated the Radar while in the Zone and the Breakthrough state.
This allowed me to better improve my movements and anticipate my opponent¡¯s moves.
By doing this¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Demon Split Step¡¿!¡±
¡°Nugu!¡±
Gouda¡¯s strong arms were swung in vain.
Simple hooks, uppercuts, and straights were all evaded. But I didn¡¯t keep my distance.
I waited in the eye of the typhoon, dodging while keeping my distance within Gouda¡¯s reach.
After all, the only technique that could defeat Gouda was the Great Magic Spiral.
But, even if you hit it foolishly, it will be dodged, or shattered by Gouda¡¯s powerful body and techniques.
I have to bring it to a state where he won¡¯t have a chance to counterattack or use his full power.
¡°Oraoraoraoraoraoraaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!¡±
¡°¡¾Great Demon Carioca Step¡¿! ¡¾Great Demon Crossover Step¡¿! ¡¾Great Demon Slipping Away¡¿!¡±
To do that, I have to hit him on the counter
¡°Come on, get smaaaaaashed!¡±
Here! I can go with this timing!
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡±
¡°Aaaaaaa!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
When I tried to counter Gouda who stepped in at an unavoidable timing, Gouda, who had no intention of dodging in the first ce, rushed at me without hesitation, and his body was hit by the Great Magic Spiral¡¡ but he didn¡¯t care, he fearlessly pushed forward, shattering the Great Magic Spiral again.
¡°You think I¡¯m gonna be phased by a bit of pain right now? You must be messing around!¡±
That¡¯s right. The opponent is a Six Supremacy.
One who was about to explode at any moment, so why should he care about being shaved a little with his body in its current state?
His mind hadpletely transcended the pain.
Actually, I¡¯m the one who should be doing that much¡¡
¡°Uooooooh, ¡¾Great Demon Jolt¡¿!¡±
¡°Anh?¡±
Then, if the Great Magic Spiral on my left arm is destroyed, I¡¯ll hit him with the right.
I can¡¯t even throw a decent punch because it¡¯s broken, and just bending and stretching my elbow hurts a lot¡¡ but it¡¯s nothingpared to my life!
If you grit your teeth¡¡
¡°Gahahahahahaha, you have good guts¡¡ but, so weeeeaaaaaaak!¡±
¡°Eh!??¡±
I forced my broken right arm to swing once more time. Put my whole weight behind it and grit my teeth.
But Gouda mmed his left fist into me, and my jolt was easily repelled.
My right arm died.
Moreover, I intended to exploit the opponent¡¯s opening, but my upper body waspletely bent over, and my posture was broken.
¡°O, oh no!?¡±
My upper body was arched, my bnce was off, and I couldn¡¯t even take a step.
I couldn¡¯t even move my hands.
¡°It¡¯s oveeeeeer, Eaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!¡±
And the next moment, Gouda swung his right fist, and only his arm became gigantic.
Is this guy going to put this blow in his right arm and kill me? Termination? It¡¯ll mostly erase me from existence¡¡ counter with a headbutt? Impossible, I¡¯m not at that level!
The Great Magic Spiral¡¡ but with both arms in this position¡¡
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, I thought of a crazy idea, and executed it right away.
Whether I can do it or not won¡¯t matter, because if I don¡¯t do it, I¡¯m dead.
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral Headbutt¡¿!!¡±
¡°Eeeehhh!??¡±
The Great Magic Spiral is a technique that concentrates all the magical power from the breakthrough state into the arm.
Sometimes on the right arm. Sometimes on the left arm. Sometimes on both arms.
But if you think about it, it¡¯s not that it can only be done with the arms; it¡¯s just that the focus has been on using the arms.
¡°Oh¡¡ Ooh! Concentration of magical power on a part of the body¡¡ Child, you can do so not only with your arms, but other parts of your body as well!¡¯
Focusing all my magical power into my head and using the recoil from being bent backward, I created a Great Magic Spiral on my forehead and dove in.
¡°Uo, oo, ooooooooooooooh!!¡±
My counter headbutt, which so far had received Mr. Aka¡¯s fist and Aonii¡¯s knee.
This time, I headbutt as if throwing my whole body out with the Great Magic Spiral.
And Gouda¡¯s swollen fist¡¡
¡°Nu, Nuga!?¡±
Snaped!
¡°Y, you¡¡ Earth!!¡±
Then Gouda staggered backward. The Great Magic Spiral Headbutt, which multiplied the power several times on the counter, forced Gouda to retreat.
¡°Ha, ha, ha¡¡ here it is!¡±
I can¡¯t lose! Me too!
It was short-lived, but it wasn¡¯t just my arm.
Also on the head. No, this feeling¡¡ it can be enhanced, if necessary, by concentrating magic power momentarily on the legs, on parts of the body!
¡°Oooooooh!!¡±
I won¡¯t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Fill the legs with magical power. I can step on the ground more forcefully than ever before and jump out with great momentum.
Then, I immediately used my magical power to create a Great Magic Spiral in my head just like before and dove in.
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Diving Headbutt Break¡¿!!¡±
Go in! ¡¡ No¡¡
¡°Now you¡¯ve done it, koraaaaah! ¡¾Rock ¡®n¡¯ Roll Beatles Head¡¿!!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Even though Gouda was also knocked off bnce, he forced himself to kick the ground with both feet, causing his upper body to curl up just like me, and he returned the headbutt with his horned head to my Great Magic Spiral Headbutt.
That headbutt that shattered my Great Magic Spiral¡¡ no, it¡¯s now more powerful than before!
¡°Oooooooh!!¡±
¡°Uoraaaaaaah!!¡±
¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¨Deehh!!
A head-to-head collision¡¡ like the ringing of heavy bells¡¡
¡°Tsu, gah, a, again, this monster¡¡ countered my Great Magic Spiral with his head¡¡damniiiiiiiiiit!¡±
¡°tsu, you¡¡ uraaaaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
I¡¯ve already blown away thoughts about concentration and anticipation.
Anyway, what I do know is that the current headbutt collision was evenly matched? No, I was the one who bounced back.
But Gouda had also taken a slight step back.
In any case, Gouda and I were both pushed back, but neither of us fell down.
Then, one more time.
I bring my body back immediately¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral Diving Headbutt Break¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡¾Rock ¡®n¡¯ Roll Beatles Head¡¿ Once Moooooooore!!¡±
I¡¯ve be stupid and desperate¡¡ if I can¡¯t use both hands, this is all I can do.
¡°Nugaa!?¡±
¡°Guah!?¡±
Headbutting an opponent withpletely different power, weight, and horsepower¡¡ no, I¡¯m an idiot¡¡
¡°tsu, I don¡¯t care anymoooooore, it¡¯s okay to be an idiot!¡±
¡°Ha, gaha, gahahahahahahaha!!¡±
Maybe that¡¯s good enough¡¡
¡°B, Big brother¡¡ you did¡ something like that again.¡±
¡°Brother¡¡. how can you¡¡ aren¡¯t you scared?¡±
¡°¡¡ Why¡ why does he fight¡¡ even I, a woman, feel a hot tingle in my body.¡±
¡°Oh, Young man¡¡ despite not being foolish, you can act the fool when the situation calls for it¡ truly¡¡±
Ah, to think I¡¯ve resorted to headbutting again these past few days¡¡ I¡¯m sure Espie and yer are dumbfounded¡¡ I could have won with smarter, more elegant moves¡¡ but that¡¯s okay.
Anyway, I said that I was going to ept Gouda, so instead of trying to be cool, I¡¯m going to face him with grit and determination, and sh with all my might in the end!
¡°Oooooh, guh?!¡±
¡°Uraaaaah, ugoh!?¡±
Again and again¡as many times as you want!
¡°Ha, ha, ha,¡¡ Hahaha¡¡ Gahahahahaha! Look at that, you pulled it off! Ain¡¯t that way better than scheming around? If you can do this much, then do it from the start, let¡¯s just stop messing around and start pounding away!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t tell me what to do, I¡¯m weak. I¡¯ve known that for a long time. Compared to my childhood friends and my parents, who are more powerful, faster, more versatile, or have more magical abilities than me¡¡ that¡¯s why I make up for it with something else!!¡±
¡°Punk, maybe you¡¯re struggling, but you should puff out your chest and face it head-on with dignity, you idiot! Tricks are for weaklings!
¡°Tricks and techniques that make up for inferior parts are not proof of weakness!¡±
¡°I¡¯m talking about manliness!!¡±
¡°Noisy, I¡¯m keeping youpany. Soe on!¡±
Before I knew it, we had stopped in ce and were head-butting each other head-on.
I felt like an idiot, but no matter what I said with my mouth, my instincts told me that I couldn¡¯t back down, that if I backed down, I would lose.
¡°Ha, ha, ha, oooooooh!¡±
¡°Come on, Earth¡¡ Guhoh¡¡uppu, ou¡¡ ha, ha¡¡ no time to waste, huh¡¡ but¡¡ even if it¡¯s just a few seconds¡ I¡¯ll take as many as I can, Gorruaaaa! Cause I¡¯m living in the moment!!¡±
Even Gouda, whipped his crumbling body into a frenzy, even though he knew it would hasten his death, he tried to give it his all and give off a final ray of brilliance.
¡°I¡¯ll give it to you, Eaaaaaaaaarth! All that¡¯s left of my greatest and strongest!!
Gouda no longer thought about self-destructing with the Allied Forces anymore. He intended to die here.
Then, I¡¯ll settle things here and now!
With more power!!
More¡ more¡ more than all my previous Great Magic Spirals!!- Twitter

Chapter 347: Piercing the Sun
¡°Gouda¡¡ I¡¯ve never seen him like this before¡¡ a, ah, hathathat!? Wh, what? It¡¯s getting really hot!¡±
¡°Th¡¡ the temperature changed? Is that the heat Gouda gives off? Even though it¡¯s so far away, I feel like I¡¯ll get burned too¡¡
¡°What heat¡¡ th, that¡¯s¡¡ the power of the Six Supremacy¡¡ of Lord Gouda¡¡¡±
¡°One can scarcely even touch such a thing now, can they?¡±
Is the countdown on for Gouda, who was about to explode?
¡°Ooooooooh, it¡¯s boiling! Burning up! A scorching great eruptiiiiiiiiiioooon!¡±
The color of the magma-like red mass that was throbbing in his chest had spread to Gouda¡¯s pitch-ck outer shell.
Gouda¡¯s entire body was tinted in a magma-like color, and his body was filled with overwhelming heat.
Is this some sort of Gouda-style breakthrough?¡°This is me¡¡ Burning Lord Goudaaaaaaah! Rock ¡®n¡¯ Roll!!¡±
With Gouda¡¯s roar, the surrounding area turned into scorching air.
Sweat gushed out all at once, and a haze or mirage appeared around me, distorting my surroundings.
¡°Uruaaaaah! Burning Paaaaaanch!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Gouda swung his fist from out of range. The fist itself couldn¡¯t reach me.
But so far, shockwaves have been sent out just from the pressure of his fist.
And from now on¡¡
¡°Whoa, no way!?¡±
A huge pir of fire flew out from Gouda¡¯s fist with the shockwave.
¡°Uooooh, if I do this, it¡¯ll be hot over there too, uguraaaaaaaaah!!
This time, he opened his mouth wide and¡ huh? The light¡ geh!?
¡°¡¾Buuuuuuuuurning Breeeeeaaaaaaath¡¿!!
Somehow, a sh of magma shot out from his mouth.
No, no, what kind of magic is this, without chanting!?
¡°Gouda breathed fire out of his mouth!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s worse than a fire dragon¡¯s breath!¡±
¡°Giga-ss without chanting¡¡ no, it¡¯s more ¡¡.¡±
¡°¡We must withdraw a bit further¡ lest we too melt away¡¡±
It was a total volcanic eruption.
I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll stop until it swallows everything.
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral Shiiiiiieeeld¡¿!!¡±
I immediately activated the Great Magic Spiral on the spot and created a swirling defensive wall¡ impossible!
¡°tsu, oh, ooooooooooooooooohh!??¡±
The searing heat swept me away.
¡°Big brother!?¡±
¡°Wh, what power ¡¡.¡±
Not good. It¡¯s frustrating, but my Great Magic Spiral was no longer a threat to this guy.
He might get hurt if Ind it, but I guess he would easily smash it.
What ridiculous destructive power.
¡°Damn¡¡ you actually did that¡¡±
Strong.
This was the power of the Six Supremacy in a serious one-on-one fight with the intent to kill.
Even though the Great Magic Spiral reduced his power somewhat, I was still overwhelmed.
But¡¡
¡°Gu, guaaaaaaaaaahh, my tongue buuurns, my teeth are melting!¡±
This guy¡¡ with his every attack, Gouda got hurt too¡¡
¡°Ha, haha, what a guy¡¡ he hurt himself too¡¡e on, that¡¯s pretty reckless, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Tch¡¡ Hah~, hah~¡¡ gahahahahahaha! Well¡ it can¡¯t be helped. Since you¡¯re such a fiery punk, it would suck if I didn¡¯t get fired up too!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Iughed sheepishly, and Gouda forced a smile from pain and talked to me.
What can I say¡¡ more than the temperature of this ce, the words just now made my body hotter from the inside¡¡
¡°Hehe, hehe¡¡ exactly¡¡ you¡¯re really awesome, you¡¯re ¡¡.¡±
¡°That¡¯s obvious, you idiot! You just figuring that out?¡±
¡°Are you just figuring out that I¡¯m a stupid idiot?¡±
¡°Gahahahahahahahahahah! I may be an idiot, but that¡¯s fine, cause I rock!¡±
Why am I so happy in such a dangerous situation?
No, it¡¯s only natural, isn¡¯t it?
It¡¯s not like Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, or Norja, who held back so they don¡¯t kill me or were just ying around.
The Six Supremacy, who came at me with true sincerity and even wielded power to the point of risking even himself toe at me, recognized me.
But¡¡
¡°So, well¡¡ my bad, but¡¡ this heat¡¡ won¡¯tst¡¡ not for long.¡±
¡°¡¡ Gouda ¡¡ Huh!?¡±
Gouda, usually so bold, showed a somewhat lonely smile for the first time.
That¡¯s right, this moment won¡¯tst forever.
It¡¯s fleetingly short.
But that was always understood.
¡°I know I¡¯m all messed up now, but listen to meeeee, listen to my sooooong! There will be no encooooore!!¡±
There was still no sign of the Allied Forcesing. In other words, no matter what happens now, Gowda will not be able to inflict any damage to the Allied Forces.
Now all that¡¯s left to do is¡¡
¡°Yeah, me too¡ let¡¯s sing together!¡±
¡°¡¡ Ah~?¡±
If we quickly evacuate from this ce to the basement with everyone, we won¡¯t die.
But I can¡¯t run away.
In fact, dodging around like before won¡¯t work with this attack.
Because this blow carried a different weight from the previous ones.
If I don¡¯t respond to this, what sort of disciple would I be?
What kind of¡¡
¡°I¡¯ll go all ooooooouut, Goudaaaa!¡±
¡°Oh yeah¡¡ thanks¡¡ Earth. Certainly¡¡ you¡¯re totally not like Hiro¡¡ that fool couldn¡¯t feel the vibes, he wants everyone to work together, or to be righteous, or to use the power of light, or whatever¡¡ Gahahahaha, you wanna sing with me? ¡¡that¡¯s the first time anyone¡¯s ever said that to me!¡±
¡°Obviously. The Hero Hiro may be strong, but he¡¯s an airheaded idiot who can¡¯t read the mood, and I¡¯m sure he won¡¯t be able to properly raise a child in the future, so don¡¯t lump me in with him!¡±
¡°Gahahahahahaha! Let¡¯s do it then! But punk, can you keep up with my rock?!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll follow you! Wherever you go!¡±
I¡¯m going to respond to this guy¡¯s final moments.
Then Gouda flew up.
Up, up into the sky, and much higher.
Dyed by a great red me¡¡
¡°Oooooooh, this is my full power!¡±
At this point, it¡¯s like the sun. Is he really going to fall here in that state?
¡°It¡¯s hoooooooooooooott!! Uggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!¡±
The sky turned a scorching color, and Gouda fell from the sky.
You can tell just by looking at it.
This whole area will be obliterated¡¡
¡°¡¾Great Magic Spiral, Earth, Spiral!¡±
But no. I can¡¯t win with that.
¡°I need something¡¡ even ¡¡ bigger!¡±
It has to be more powerful¡¡ but in theory, that¡¯s impossible.
When it came to releasing magic, the number of magic holes was what mattered.
The number of magic holes determines the amount of magic power that can be released for a single spell.
In other words, this was my limit right now.
It was impossible to increase the number of magic holes in this instant.
¡°Damn it¡¡ I have no choice but to do it with just this left arm¡¡ eeeeerr, that¡¯s reckless! I put everything I have into this left arm¡¡put everything ¡¡ Huh?¡±
It was a momentary sh of inspiration.
My Great Magic Spiral so far. In the breakthrough state, I concentrated all the magic power in my body into my left arm to create the spiral.
Then, what about the other parts of the body?
Since it was concentrated on the arm, the rest of the body would be empty of magic power.
If that¡¯s the case, what will happen if I apply Magical Breathing only to those other parts?
Earlier in the fight, I was able to concentrate magic power on my head and other parts of my body.
Then could Magical Breathing also¡¡
¡ºHoh! So you have arrived there on your own¡¡ Child!¡»
I saw something like it in my fight with Mr. Machio, and now with Gouda.
A way of fighting that involves partially erging the muscles or erging the entire body.
Then, I¡¡
¡°¡¾Partial Magical Breathing¡¿!!¡±
I could do it.
¡°Uoooh, oh, oh, ha, it¡¯sing in! Even more magic power! Now, focus it all and put it on the left arm again! And use Partial Magic Breathing again!¡±
Aspensation for the Great Magic Spiral, which wrapped all magic power on my arms, the magic power in parts of my body other than my arm was reduced to zero, so I could take in magic power in areas other than my left arm with Magical Breathing.
Then, the newly epted magic power was again released from the left arm and clung to the Great Magic Spiral, and the magic power that had been emptied except for the left arm would take in more with Magical Breathing.
¡°Uooh, oh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh!!¡±
¡°O, oh, oooooh, what¡¯s that!?¡±
Magic was released from the magic hole.
Therefore, the power of magic released ¡°instantaneously¡± was determined by the number of magic holes.
But what happens if you keep supplying magic power continuously like this, at least the amounts you can release at once?
¡ºTis so! Theoretically, the Great Magic Spiral can be enhanced permanently! The greater the amount of magic power released, the more extraordinary the concentration, skill, and physical effort required to maintain the shape of the spiral. However, the child originally mastered the Zone, and also mastered the Magical Radar at this age. As a result, concentration and skills have improved dramatically in this era¡¡ the burden on the body that remains¡¡ can be ovee with spirit and perseverance. As of now, this is your area of ??expertise¡¡ However, I am in a neutral position regarding this battle. Do not get excited and forget your position¡¡. keep calm and collected.¡»
If you keep umting it, releasing it, umting it, releasing it, umting it, and releasing it, it will gradually be something ridiculously big¡¡
¡ºHowever, tis impossible to remain calm. Thisnd was once destroyed by the Great Demon Spiral of the Great Demon King¡¡ and now¡¡ tis born in the samend by the hands of one who uses the same technique! Burn it into your eyes, body, and soul, Gouda! This one¡¡ is worthy of receiving your final moments¡¡ same as you¡¡ my¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D¡»
This will work!
A Great Magic Spiral that swelled up to the verge of bursting. My body might explode if I go any further than this¡ but I¡¯ll go beyond that limit!
¡°Breaking the limit! ¡¾Extreme Magic Spiral, Earth Spiral, Limit Break¡¿!!¡±
¡°Complete Combustion, ¡¾Sun Surface Super Explosiiiooon¡¿!!¡±
I flew too. At thest moment, I made a big jump with magic power in both feet.
With a Great Magic Spiral that exceeded the limit, I thrust into the falling sun.
¡°Oooooooaaohh!!¡±
¡°Ugaaaaaaaaahh!!¡±
A collision.
I felt it.
The heat of the intersection between me and Gouda.
Our souls!
¡°Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahah! You¡!!¡±
¡°Gahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Punk¡!!¡±
A short time.
But we¡¡
¡°¡±Isn¡¯t this awesome?!¡±¡±
I felt like we had a lifetime¡¯s worth of conversations.
And¡¡
Atst, you can even pierce the sun¡¡ and Gouda¡¡ you were brilliant as well.¡±
I pierced the sun.
Beyond that, was a blue sky.
And¡¡
¡°Ah¡ really¡ at¡ the end¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Gouda ¡¡¡±
I looked back. Then there was Gouda, who had lost half of his body¡¡
¡°I¡¯m bursting with joy¡¡ hey, Earth¡¡¡±
¡°Gouda ¡¡¡±
¡°It was fun¡ singing¡ in the end¡¡ dying of old age¡ not exactly how a rock ¡®n¡¯ roller wants to go¡ but¡.¡±
¡°Old age¡¡ I¡ª¡±
¡°Old age¡¡¡±
Losing my magic power and the strength of my whole body, I finally fell as I felt like I was about to fly.
¡º¡¡ Not by the hand of a friend¡¡ but instead, dying of old age¡. you truly¡ so it seems¡ you did not die in battle¡ but of old age?¡»
And I got confused with Gouda, who smiled helplessly¡¡
¡°Hey Seven Heroes braaaaaaaaat! Your punk brother is falling, so catch hiiiiiiim!¡±
¡°Gouda!?¡±
And Gouda screamed as if he was summoning thest ounce of his strength, and then, contrary to my falling, he willed himself higher up into the sky¡¡
¡°Forgive¡¡ me¡¡ oh Great Demon King.¡±
¡ºTis I who should apologize¡¡ I am sorry, Gouda. And I have witnessed it. You are undeniably the pride of the Demon Realm¡¡ the pride of the Demon King Army¡¡ and the pride of me¡¡ I believe so from the bottom of my heart.¡»
That guy, no way!
¡°Huh!? Gouda, don¡¯t apologize! In fact, the Great Demon King Tre¡¯ainar is saying that¡ he is proud of you from the bottom of his heart!¡±
That bastard. Don¡¯t get me caught up in an explosion at thest minute¡¡
¡°Gahahahahahahahahahahahah! Thanks¡and, ciao! In the end, I met¡my soulmate!¡±
Then, far above, the sun scattered itsst rays of light.- Twitter

Chapter 348: The Truth Is in the Heart
The sun rose high above the sky and finally scattered in great splendor.
As soon as I saw thest of it, my heart tightened.
¡°Was I¡ able to respond to him?¡±
¡ºYou need not ask about the obvious now, do you?¡»
I muttered as I fell from the sky, and Tre¡¯ainar replied.
¡ºWell done, child.¡»
¡°¡¡ yeah¡¡¡±
¡ºYou earned this victory on your own, with no outside help¡¡ unlike Hiro and the others, who always fought with help from theirrades¡¡ you have done well. Also, I was able to witness Gouda¡¯s majestic figure, as he met a spectacr end without fear for what little life he had left¡¡¡»
It was a sad moment, but it was still etched in the hearts of Tre¡¯ainar and I. Gouda was the coolest bastard ever.I was able to witness the end of such a guy, and I was able to respond to him.
I was much prouder of that than defeating a Six Supremacy or anything like that.
¡°¡¡ Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ well then¡ all that¡¯s left is¡¡.¡±
¡ºMm-hmm.¡»
And with that, the battle was over, and so was my role.
The rest¡¡
¡°Big brotheeeeeer!!¡±
¡°Oh¡¡.¡±
¡°¡¾Fluffy Big Brother Carry¡¿!¡±
Maybe she heard Gouda yelling for her to catch me, or maybe she couldn¡¯t wait any longer, but Espie flew towards me as I fell, caught me with her levitation power, and clung to me in mid-air.
¡°Haha, Espie¡¡ you saved me.¡±
¡°Uh~~~~~~¡±
Espie clung to me, burying her face in my chest. She moaned, her shoulders shaking.
¡°Big brother ¡¡ you stupid stupid stupid ~ stupid idiooooot!¡±
¡°Ouch, ouch, ouch¡¡±
Espie smacked my chest over and over again.
I tried to stop her by patting her on the head, but I couldn¡¯t because my right arm was dead and my left arm was in bad shape.
¡°Ou, ou, ouch, Espie¡¡¡±
¡°Ugh~, fighting Gouda all by yourself, doing all those dangerous things! I was so worried! I really was! I was!¡±
¡°O, oh, I see¡¡.¡±
It must have made her very worried.
I mean, even in this day and age, there aren¡¯t many people who can stand up against the Six Supremacy, so I guess I¡¯m just as stupid as Espie says.
¡°Ah, he¡¯sing down! Brother! Brother!¡±
Then, just as I slowlynded on the ground, yer also ran towards me.
¡°Brother, are you okay¡¡ your arms are¡ ah, really, Brother¡ Larou¡¯iph! Patch Brother up!¡±
¡°Ah, ah, umm¡¡.¡±
¡°Seriously Brother¡¡ but¡¡ so cool.¡±
At first, he looked unhappy with me, but then his eyes lit up, as if he couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.
Good grief, absolutely adorable.
¡°Hey¡ what happened¡ to Lord Gouda¡?¡±
¡°Hmm? ¡¡ yeah¡he¡¯s gone.¡±
¡°¡¡ is that¡¡ so?¡±
On the other hand, Larou¡¯iph asked anxiously as she put her hand over my arm and cast a healing spell.
That¡¯s right, she was part of the Demon King Army, she probably hasn¡¯t been able toe to terms with one of the Six Supremacy dying in front of her.
And¡¡
¡°Fortune smiles upon us, Young man¡ for we have be witnesses to legend¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Chieftain¡¡¡±
¡°For what you¡¯ve done, our eternal gratitude.¡±
The Chieftain praised me.
Then Espie and yer leaned in close to me.
¡°That¡¯s right, Big brother! You defeated the Six Supremacy! No one else has done that yet, not even the Seven Heroes, but you did it! Big brother, you¡¯re the best in the world! Nfu~! My Big brother is the best in the world ~!¡±
¡°A Legendary¡¡ Hero¡¡ yes, Yeah, you really aplished that great a feat, Brother! Everyone should know more! The world needs to know more about how amazing our brother is!¡±
They praised me, calling me ¡°legendary¡±, ¡°hero¡±, and ¡°the best in the world¡±, as if they were genuinely happy for me.
It didn¡¯t feel bad.
But¡¡
¡°No¡¡ that¡¯s not right, Espie, yer. The one who defeated Gouda¡¡ the Hero Hiro¡¡¡±
¡°¡±¡¡ Huh??¡±¡±
Even if the truth is different, we cannot tamper with the records engraved in history.
¡°Why, Big brother! You beat him!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I beat him, Gouda reached the natural end of his life~, so I just sang along with him¡¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t get it, Brother! Why don¡¯t you tell the truth? Are you going to give credit to the Hero?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine¡¡ this way ¡¡.¡±
Espie and yer were naturally unconvinced, and extremely upset.
¡°The truth of history¡¡ is in the hearts of everyone here right now.¡±
But that¡¯s okay.
And then¡¡
¡°You seek not to make a name for yourself¡¡ is that it, Young man? No¡¡ Earth Lagann.¡±
¡°¡±¡±Ah¡¡¡±¡±¡±
¡°Chieftain ¡¡¡±
Then, after hearing the Chieftain¡¯s words, the Espie and the others came at me with surprised faces.
¡°That¡¯s right! Hey Big brother, is your name Earth? Are you rted to Hiro?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Brother. There¡¯s just so much I don¡¯t understand¡¡
¡°I¡¯d like you to tell me too. And about transcending time¡¡±
Maybe only the Chieftain knew everything. About me for the most part.
But Espie, yer, and Larou¡¯iph didn¡¯t know.
They don¡¯t know what I am.
And¡¡
¡°For the time being, we can¡¯t just take it easy. If we keep messing around, the Allied Forces will arrive¡¡ let¡¯s talk while we move to the undergroundboratory¡¡ I¡¯m sure everyone is worried too.¡±
¡°Bu~, I want to hear about it right now~¡¡ then, let me know as we all go to the mountain of Japone from now on!¡±
They don¡¯t know that my journey in this time period ends here.
¡°No, I¡¯ll tell you right away¡¡
¡°Huh? Really?¡±
¡°Brother. I really want to ask about it¡ but I¡¯m sure you¡¯re tired too, so I can¡¯t force you to answer¡you can do itter.¡±
I¡¯m going to tell Espie and yer, who have no doubt that I will always be with them¡¡
¡°No, right away.¡±
¡°¡±?¡±¡±
I have to tell them now.
About who I am.
And we¡¡
¡°I¡¡ due to an item from Shiznautmy, though I¡¯m not sure if it was an ident or not¡ I came here from over a decade in the future¡¡±
¡°¡±¡±????¡±¡±¡±
¡°As I said, my real name is Earth Lagann. I¡¯m the child born from the marriage of Hiro and Mamu, two of the Seven Heroes.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡¡¡¡ Hohe???¡±¡±¡±
We¡¡ have to say goodbye¡¡
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your continued support.
I¡¯m d to have received a lot of feedback. He only appeared in a few chapters. However, I am d that many people like Gouda, who survived so bravely.
From the beginning, I had nned for this Gouda to be ¡°the first Six Supremacy that Earth fights without the help of Tre¡¯ainar¡±, even though I didn¡¯t mention the final boss in the past arc. Unlike Paripi and Jamdi¡¯el, I didn¡¯t want to have Tre¡¯ainar advising him in the fight against Gouda. That was my sentiment¡¡
¡°I, I have to beat him by my own strength, otherwise Tre¡¯emon won¡¯t be able to return to the future with peace of mind.¡±
It was like this. I¡¯m sure many of you expected this.
Also, I¡¯m d that many people had the same trauma with ¡°hot¡±.
Also, the character and appearance of Gowda is based on ¡°Chirotan Popopo¡±, who is on the cover of the third volume of my debut work ¡°Reborn In Another World ¨C The Long, Long Journey Until I Reunite With You¡°. You don¡¯t have to buy it, so if you¡¯re interested, please Google it.
Now, the end of the journey is in sight, but please stay with us a little longer.
Special Shoutout to all of my Patrons. Thanks for the Overwhelming Support!! Tier Rewards up on the Patreon Page soon.

Chapter 349: Heartache
¡°Chieftain. Here¡..¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°I have money in the depository. Here¡¯s a voucher. I¡¯m giving you a loan¡¡±
¡°This loan is meant ¡¡ to be repaid someday¡ right? I must continue to write the Destiny series¡¡.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
After receiving treatment, we returned to the basement.
¡°Well then, Young man. Present the Master Key to the elevator. The level we are bound for requires its use.¡±
¡°O, okay.¡±
I can¡¯t get used to this moving ¡°Elevator¡± thing at all.¡°Hey, Big brother. What¡¯s more, what¡¯s going on? Is Big brother Hiro and Mamu¡¯s child? Hey, right?¡±
¡°I¡¯m from the future¡¡ it¡¯s true ¡¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ From the future¡¡ I¡¯ve never heard of such magic¡¡ also, in the future¡ the war¡ what about the war?¡±
The underground space was dimly lit, and the ceiling and walls were made of materials I had never seen before.
It wasn¡¯t the area where the chieftain¡¯s wife and the others were waiting, but ording to him, we had to ¡°go there first¡±.
¡°I was aiming for Shiznautmy¡ in other words, this ce¡ to return to the future.¡±
¡°Eh¡¡ re¡¡ turn?¡±
Espie and yer with vacant faces. It¡¯s no wonder they still couldn¡¯t take in my story.
But¡¡
¡°Well, here we are, Young man. The Master Key to the door once more, if you please.¡±
¡°¡¡ okay!¡±
And there was a door at the end of the dimly lit passage.
As the Chieftain instructed me, I took out the master key.
Then, the center of the door suddenly started shing red, and the door opened on its own.
¡°Oh¡¡ I wouldn¡¯t be surprised by anything else thates my way.¡±
A world of darkness spread out behind the door.
But only for a moment.
The moment the Chieftain stepped into the room,
¡°¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±
Suddenly, the room lit up and became bright.¡±
¡°O, oh, what is this? Is it light magic? I was immediately surprised again¡¡¡±
¡°What? It suddenly got brighter?¡±
¡°Is anyone there?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel any magic¡¡ what the hell ¡¡?¡±
As usual, I was nervous about the Chieftain not giving any exnation beforehand, but it seemed harmless enough this time.
And¡¡
¡ºA floor that can only be reached by using the Master Key¡¡ doors that cannot be opened¡¡ In other words, I have never set foot in any room beyond this one.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
That¡¯s right.
It seemed that Tre¡¯ainar used to explore various things in these ruins, and the people who lived in Shiznautmy also used these ruins, but only a small part of them.
The ancients who once lived in this underground area have something much deeper than that.
That¡¯s exactly how I came to this era¡¡
¡°Whoa¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s huge ¡¡.¡±
¡°What room is this¡?¡±
¡°¡¡ this is?¡±
The lit room was spacious.
Long desks and fixed chairs arranged in a stepped pattern. At first nce, doesn¡¯t this look a bit like a ssroom at the Academy?
On the walls, there was a huge ss-like structure stretched all over.
¡°The mainputer room¡¡ is the power supply live¡¡ if they ¡®evacuated¡¯, they ought to have shut it off¡¡ well, at least we may recharge, and you can return, Young man.¡±
¡°Konpyuta~? Charju? Chieftain, whatnguage are you speaking?¡±
The Chieftain walked up to the ss and sat down in front of it.
Then, with a slight movement of his fingertips on the table where the Chieftain was sitting, a part of the desk was turned up, revealing a board-like object and an indentation with a mysterious pattern on it.
¡°This is but a small section of the research institute. Once, ancient beings from a distant star descended upon this world, yet found themselves unable to adapt to its surface. Hence built shelters in the underground world. In their relentless quest to adapt, they conducted myriad experiments, blending the genes of countless creatures from this world. Through these trials, the Seraph Tribe, experimental creations like myself, and Lady Kaguya were born, all intended to integrate with this realm¡¡.¡±
¡º¡¡ Kaguya¡¡¡»
¡°The Ancients¡¡ the alien beings that inhabited the underground of Shiznautmy are no more¡¡ Lady Kaguya was left behind, and the once-thriving city of the Shiznautmy has also perished¡¡ well, we have little time now. We can delve into the annals of history some other day.¡±
¡°Some other day¡¡ huh¡ ah, that¡¯s right. For now, more than that, there¡¯s something I have to spend the remaining time on¡¡
As the Chieftain pressed the indentations with his practiced hand, as he had done with the door earlier, the huge ss that covered the entire wall suddenly lit up, revealing bright colors and patterns he had never seen before. moreover¡¡
¨D¨DGacha
¡°¡±¡±¡±Eehh!!??¡±¡±¡±¡±
The drawer of the desk where the Chieftain was sitting suddenly opened with a thud, and inside was¡.
¡°Oh, a watch!¡±
¡°Wow, there¡¯s a lot of them¡¡.¡±
Watches simr to the one I had were ced in the drawer, connected to some sort of string.
¡°Right, Young man, lend that to me. I shall connect it to the cord and set it to charge.¡±
¡°O, okay¡¡.¡±
I couldn¡¯t understand, so I handed the watch to the Chieftain, who snapped the strangely tipped string into a small depression in the watch that I hadn¡¯t noticed, and the watch began to glow.
¡°Now, I shall adjust the settings¡¡ Young man, how many years from now should I send you back?¡±
¡°U, uh¡um¡¡±
Settings? Um, what do you mean by that? How many years from now? Do you mean the era I came from?
¡ºWith Gouda¡¯s death in battle¡¡e to think of it, we never paid attention to the date in the future¡¡ Child, what day was your Graduation Match?¡»
¡¸L, let¡¯s see, I think it was the year ©–©–, day ©–©– in the month of ¡Á¡Á ¡¡¹
¡ºThen, by my calctions¡¡ from then, running away from home, traveling, and the stay in Cacretale¡¡ tis roughly ©–©– years and ¡Á¡Á days from now. It may be off by a few days, but¡¡.¡»
¡°Oh, so it¡¯s ©–©– years and ¡Á¡Á days from now.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
I¡¯m d Tre¡¯ainar was here.
And the Chieftain was manipting my watch.
And this¡¡ if it wasn¡¯t for the Chieftain, I wouldn¡¯t have understood anything¡¡
¡°Anyway¡¡ there are a few watches¡¡ are they the same?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
A simple nod was given, an item that transcends time.
That¡¯s how¡¡
¡°Hey wait, I can¡¯t believe there are so many of these¡if these get abused¡¡±
An item that allows you to travel to the past or future.
If you can handle something like this freely, you can do anything¡¡
¡°It¡¯s quite risky as I understand it.¡±
However, the Chieftain denied it.
¡°This device can transport only one person at a time, and the physical strain it imposes is immense. It can be used only a few times in one¡¯s lifetime.¡±
¡°¡¡ eh!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not magic, but technology. Aputer analyzes the human body, transmits the molecules, and reconstructs them¡¡ well, simply put, overusing it can shred your organs, blood vessels, and bones, leading to death. At least it cannot be used on children in their growth phase. Thus, you, Young man, were quite close to the limit. I heard that in some experiments, those who traveled four to five times ended up with their bodies in tatters and died.¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°This technology, a relic of the ancient people, was obtained by chance. However, due to the extreme risks, its use was prohibited.¡±
I didn¡¯t understand the exnation at the beginning, but I understood thest part.
In other words, this can¡¯t be used often?
Well, if I remember correctly, the first time I used it was when my father and mother were children, the second time was when I came to this age, and the third time will be when I return home¡¡
¡°Ah, ah, that was close ~¡±
¡ºI see¡¡ transferring molecr information and reconstructing it¡¡ the principle of moving through the space-time distortions is the same, but there is a difference between it and space transfer magic¡¡ tis certainly quite dangerous.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also groaned when he heard the Chieftain¡¯s exnation.
Future Espie will give me such a dangerous thing¡¡ I mean¡
¡°So you¡¯re saying that if I use this and go back¡ it means I will never be able to return to this era¡¡±
¡°If you¡¯ve already used it a few times¡¡ then, that is to be expected¡¡ there is no guarantee that you survive it.¡±
I see, that means I can¡¯te back to check on Espie and yer.
So with this¡¡
¡°Hey, Big brother. What do you mean ¡®go back¡¯? Are you going somewhere? Right now? Then, I left my things with Mrs. Yitea, so I¡¯ll go get it.¡±
¡°Brother, are you leaving now? Can¡¯t we just send the elves off? Well, if you say you¡¯re going, we¡¯ll just follow¡¡¡±
They didn¡¯t understand what we were talking about, so I¡
¡°Espie¡¡ yer ¡¡¡±
¡°¡±?¡±¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡ this is where¡ we say goodbye.¡±
¡°¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡?? ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Huh!?¡±¡±
Ah, even though I knew that¡ my heart aches¡¡
¡°¡±¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±¡±

Chapter 350: The Worst Big Brother
¡°Big brother, are you going somewhere? Why are you saying goodbye? I¡¯ming too, okay?¡±
Words that make my heart ache.
She still didn¡¯t understand the meaning of what I was saying¡¡ no, she was probably thinking, ¡°That can¡¯t be true¡±.
That there¡¯s no way I would say goodbye to them here.
But I have to say it.
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡ I can¡¯t take you¡¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Espie, yer¡¡ this is¡¡.¡±
It¡¯s tough.It¡¯s painful.
It¡¯s so heavy¡ but¡ I have to say it¡¡
¡°Goodbye.¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
After meeting me and opening up to me, Espie¡¯s expression, which had always been smiling, froze.
¡°Good¡¡ bye?¡±
¡°Yes. I can¡¯t stay in this era anymore. I will return to the future¡ to my original time. As for you guys who live in this era now¡ this is where we part.¡±
I want to take them along.
But I can¡¯t.
I clenched my fist until it bled, but still¡¡
¡°No¡..¡±
But Espie would never agree to that.
¡°No.¡±
¡°Espie¡¡¡±
¡°No way!!¡±
She looked down, her shoulders were shaking, her lips were pursed, her eyes filled with tears, and¡..
¡°Big brother, did I do something bad? If I¡¯ve done anything bad, I¡¯ll fix it! I¡¯ll fix it! I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯ll be a good girl! So¡¡.¡±
Espie jumped on me.
Sobbing, desperately¡¡
¡°No, Espie, you¡¯re not bad. You haven¡¯t done anything. You just need to grow up as you are. It¡¯s my fault.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯ll do better! I won¡¯t be selfish! I won¡¯t bother you, Big brother! I don¡¯t need snacks anymore! I don¡¯t need clothes! I¡¯ll even cut down on cuddles! That¡¯s why¡ that¡¯s why¡ no¡ no¡ don¡¯t¡ don¡¯t throw me away! Don¡¯t hate me!¡±
Throw her away? I see.
I can¡¯t take her. I have to go home.
That¡¯s my situation.
From Espie¡¯s point of view, it¡¯s understandable to think that way about what I¡¯m doing.
¡°Espie¡¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡.¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Here, we¡ª¡±
¡°Nooooo!!!
Yes. I knew.
We got too closely connected.
I knew that talking about this would lead to this oue.
¡°No! No no no no no no! Nooooooo! Nooooooooo!¡±
¡°Espie¡¡¡±
Espie clung to my neck and cried.
It felt like she was never going to let go.
This was the second time I¡¯ve made my sister cry.
And then, I finally got it ¡¡
¨D¨DOh~, I found you~. The worst kind of brother, one who makes his little sister cry ?
That¡¯s what Espie said to me the first time I met her in the future.
This was what she meant by those words.
You¡¯re right, Espie.
Just like with Amae, I really was the worst.
And today, it¡¯s not just my sister¡¡
¡°Brother¡¡. why¡ would you¡ abandon us?¡±
Even my younger brother¡¡
¡°That¡¯s not true. You are my precious little sister and brother.¡±
¡°Then¡ why¡ then, please take us with you! I don¡¯t care about this era! If you¡¯re going to the future, please take us with you too!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t¡¡
¡°I don¡¯t like this! No way!¡±
yer grabbed my arm and screamed frantically.
yer, who always acted a little cheeky, and not childlike, had tears in his eyes.
Ah, not only my sister but my brother too¡¡
[Charging Completed]
¡°¡±¡®Eehh!??¡±¡±
But at that moment, words signaling the end rang out.
¡°Now, Young man¡¡. The switch need only be pressed for you to leap. So¡¡ what coordinates¡¡ what location would you desire? Would this very ce in the future suffice?¡±
¡°No¡.. the location should be¡ the port town of Ghenkan¡ where¡ there are people I have to go to meet. The ones I¡¯ve kept waiting ¡¡ for more than a decade¡¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ right¡¡¡±
There¡¯s no more time. The Chieftain smiled sadly and worked nonchntly.
And¡¡
¡ºChild. The Espie of this era should receive one of those watches, should she not?¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
¡ºIf Espie does not give it to you in the future, you will not be able toe to this era.¡»
¡¸¡¡ Oh, I see¡¡¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar reminded me of this.
This watch, which carries the risk of death, was given to me by the future Espie.
But the reason Espie gave it to me in the first ce was¡ well¡ that¡¯s it¡¡
¡°Chieftain, one of those watches¡¡ when the timees, I want you to leave it to Espie.¡±
¡°To Espie?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. And one day, I want you to give it to me. Set it for this era¡¡.¡±
¡°¡ un¡¡.¡±
With just this exnation, the Chieftain seemed to understand.
It really helps.
Just¡¡
¡ºNo, child. When you first received this watch from Espie, you recklessly tinkered with it¡¡ thus, tis the era even further in the past, to Hiro¡¯s time¡¡»
¡¸Oh, I see¡¡ Hahaha¡¡ ¡®There¡¯s no point in setting it up¡¯¡¡ Is that what you mean¡.¡¹
¡°?¡±
So that means that after messing around with the setting so much and ruining it, it was just luck that we were able toe to this era¡¡
¡°Big brother! I don¡¯t get it! I¡¯ll try to be useful! Don¡¯t go!¡±
¡°Brother!¡±
Yes, I was lucky.
I was able to reach an era when I could meet these guys¡¡
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m really sorry, both of you. I wish I could have yed with you more¡¡ I wish I could have eaten more curry¡¡ more¡¡ more¡¡ I¡¯m so sorry¡¡ for being the worst big brother who made you both cry¡¡ I¡¯m really sorry¡¡¡±
I hugged them both.
¡°Then let¡¯s y! Let¡¯s eat some curry too!¡±
¡°Brother, no! I, I¡¯m ¡¡.¡±
I hugged the two small bodies with all my might.
Damn it. My eyes were burning. I¡¯m in tears, too¡¡ stupid bastard! It¡¯s my fault. What¡¯s the point of me crying?
I don¡¯t have the right to cry though.
¡°I gave Espie a ribbon, and this is a gift to yer.¡±
I fished around my pocket for something and found a knife.
It¡¯s a reminder of all the times we all camped and ate curry together.
¡°No, I don¡¯t need it! I don¡¯t need it, so stay with me ¡¡.¡±
¡°Take this knife.¡±
¡°Brother¡¡.¡±
¡°Get along with Espie¡be good friends. You¡¯re the only one I can trust to take care of Espie.¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡ uh¡¡¡±
How could I ever forget this? This warmth. This feeling.
To you in the future, who have been waiting for over a dozen years, I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart¡¡
¡°Listen, you guys aren¡¯t alone. You¡¯re the only ones in this world who know about me. The world doesn¡¯t know, but you know me. So, the two of you¡¡ try to get along.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want two of us¡¡ if my Big brother isn¡¯t here¡ only Big brother isn¡¯t here¡¡ I want us three together¡¡¡±
¡°In a future where you¡¯re bigger¡¡ I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll see each other again. Absolutely. At that time, let¡¯s eat a lot of curry. Let¡¯s y a lot. Let¡¯s always¡¡ be together.¡±
Even if you don¡¯t forgive me in the future, no matter how long it takes, I will continue to make amends to you.
¡°Chieftain¡¡ Larou¡¯iph¡¡ in this era, you are the only ones who know the truth about me, other than Espie and yer¡¡ I need you to take care of them ¡¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ In addition to the funds, I owe a debt of gratitude for saving our lives, Young man¡¡ thus, this is but a small favor to grant you¡ is it not?¡±
I wanted them to keep an eye on these two and help them from time to time. When I asked them what they thought, the Chieftain smiled and nodded.
And¡¡
¡°Earth. You say you¡¯re Hiro¡¯s or Mamu¡¯s child, I still don¡¯t understand, but¡¡ if that¡¯s true¡¡ suppose you are really from the future¡¡ is it the Aka of the future that you have be friends with?¡±
When Larou¡¯iph asked about Mr. Aka, I nodded honestly.
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°So, Aka will be alive until that time¡ I see¡ is that so?¡±
Then she looked up at the ceiling, tears welling up in her eyes, but smiled just a little, and gently ced her hand on the shoulders of the weeping Espie and yer.
¡°Espie, yer. I understand the pain of sudden separation from loved ones and the pain of not being able to see them. But there is hope. into the future. Someday, you will be able to meet again¡ definitely¡ because the man from the future said so.¡±
¡°Lal¡¡¡±
¡°And I¡¯ve decided, I¡¯m going to live.¡±
It seemed Larou¡¯iph had given her answer. With hopeful eyes without hesitation, she hugged yer and Espie and dered.
¡°I had no attachment to a world without Aka, and I fought thinking I could die at any time. But when I found out that Aka was alive, I looked back on my life so far, and could not forgive my ugly history, and thought about dying even more. But now it¡¯s different. I will live. Even though I am covered in blood and ugly, one day I will be able to hold my head high and bravely meet Aka again¡ I will live a proud life, and one day I will definitely go and see Aka. I swear it. For Aonii¡¯s sake¡ so you guys too¡¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡ Ugh¡¡ Why¡¡ I want to be with Big brother forever¡¡
¡°So you guys, live strong, and live your lives with pride so that you can meet this man one day¡ and maybe someday, you¡¯ll be able to hug him. If you want, even punch him.¡±
Larou¡¯iph¡¯s words must have resonated heavily.
But that doesn¡¯t make it any easier for them to ept it, and neither Espie nor yer can stop crying.
But¡..
¡°We¡¯ll definitely meet again someday. And please, all of you, remember what I¡¯m about to tell you. In the near future, Hiro and Mamu will have a child named Earth Lagann. Then, when that child turns 15 years old, and is about to graduate from the Academy, there will be an Imperial Graduation Match at the Academy, at which the Earth Lagann runs away from home. After that, there is a fighting tournament in the secluded nation of Cacretale, and we will meet a few days after the tournament. After Cacretale, I¡¯ll be wandering around in Ghenkan. At that point in time, I won¡¯t know you yet¡ but I¡¯ll definitely be there to meet you, because I love you. And when I do, I don¡¯t care how many shots I have to take.¡±
Even just saying it out loud, it will span an enormous amount of time. They will have to wait more than a decade now.
That¡¯s right.
I¡¯m still making them wait. In the future¡
¡°You guys are waiting for me in the future. That¡¯s why I have to go. Listen, I¡¯ll say it again and again. I love you guys!!¡±
I take the watch from the Chieftain, and stroke the heads of Espie and yer as they wept in Larou¡¯iph¡¯s arms, and then I vow once again.
¡°The next time we meet, I will be with you, even if I have to fight against everything in the world.¡±
And then, I activated the watch, and a light enveloped me along with a teleportation circle¡¡
¡°Big brother¡¡ ugh, b¡¡ b¡¡ Big brotheeeeeeer!¡±
¡°Bro¡¡ ther¡¡ ah¡¡¡±
The voices of my beloved sister and brother reached me onest time.- Twitter

Forbidden Master ¨C Part 5/Chapter24614th Dec 2022In "Forbidden Master"
Chapter 351: Intermission (Psychic Girl, All Grown Up)
I haven¡¯t done chapter themes in a while. Anyway, here goes¡
I will never forget the sadness I felt at that time.
Just thinking about it still makes me cry.
On that day, Big brother disappeared.
He told me that he loved me. He told me I had done nothing wrong.
He left me and yer behind.
Why?
If Big brother was here, I wouldn¡¯t be selfish anymore¡¡
¨D¨DNext time we meet¡¡ when is the next time?So, I didn¡¯t understand.
Even after listening to the exnations of Mr. Chieftain and Ms. Lal, neither I nor yer could understand it at the time.
No. I just couldn¡¯t ept it.
But there was one thing, just this one thing that Ms. Lal has told me over and over again.
¨D¨DThat man was not lying. You will be reunited once more. When Hiro and Mamu¡¯s child was born and grows up¡¡
That¡¯s such a long way off.
yer and I had been huddled in the new elven settlement for a while, spending many days moping.
But, in the midst of all this, both I and yer realized that there was something we had to do.
¨D¨DWhat do you mean you¡¯re returning to the Allied Forces, Espie? Why throw yourself back into the war? Do you think your brother would want that?
¨D¨DUn. I¡¯ve decided¡ Ms. Lal, Gouda is dead, but the Demon King Army is still strong, and Hiro and the others are in a pinch¡¡
¨D¨D Is it¡ for the sake of your formerrades?
¨D¨DNot at all. Because¡¡ if either Hiro or Mamu dies, Big brother will not be born!
Yes, if it is true that Big brother is the child of Hiro and Mamu, then if something happens to them, Big brother will not be born.
I won¡¯t be able to meet Big brother in the future.
That was the one thing I absolutely didn¡¯t want.
¨D¨DI¡¯ll return to the Allied Forces. Hiro and Mamu¡¡ if either one of them dies, I won¡¯t be able to see Big brother¡¡ I absolutely don¡¯t want that to happen¡¡ I¡¯ll protect them, beat up the Demon King, and make a world where Big brother is born!
That was the answer I came up with at the time and what I thought I should do.
¨D¨DI¡¯m going to work with everyone for now. We have to be on the lookout for the Bockmati Family, the Hunters, and now the Japone Samurai, Ninjas, and war fugitives¡¡ Brother protected all the elves¡¡ so now it¡¯s my turn to protect them.
¨D¨DUn, if both me and yer are gone, it might be dangerous with just Ms. Lal and Mr. Chieftain¡¡
¨D¨DWhen we reunite with Brother, he¡¯ll be sad if the elves are gone¡¡
¨D¨DThat¡¯s right, please protect them at all costs, yer
¨D¨DAh. If things get bad, we¡¯ll run away¡¡ If something happens to you, I¡¯ll be alone in the future and have your brother all to myself.
¨D¨DThere¡¯s no way I¡¯m going to die! I¡¯ll blow away the Demon King Army in no time!
The Allied Forces had listed me as missing, but when I joined up with them, Hiro and the others were in a pinch, and for my dashing appearance to save the Allied forces from such a predicament, I was treated like a hero at the time, and the fact that I had disappeared without a word became a non-issue, with myrades at the time weing me back warmly.
Bethreal had a lot to say about it, but my return and my subsequent sesses made it all right.
¨D¨DEspie, you¡¯re alive! I¡¯m so d! Really! And, great of you to rush over! You¡¯re one of our bestpanions!
¨D¨DThank you, Espie. And I promise. If anything ever happens to you again, we will protect you!
But I still don¡¯t think I was open to everyone.
¨D¨DThe feeling ofpassion for friends who believe in each other is what makes miracles happen. We can ovee any obstacle! Don¡¯t you agree? Espie!
Huh?
For friends?
No. I¡¯m fighting for Big brother.
Such an idiot. Don¡¯t get the wrong idea.
In the first ce¡¡
¨D¨DEspie, you can rely on us, okay? If you have a problem with the Kingdom of Bethreal, you can always tell us! We have your back! You¡¯re our friend, and like a little sister to us!
¨D¨DDefinitely not. And if you call me your little sister again, I¡¯ll beat you up.
¨D¨DOh, hey, Espie~. Seriously¡ she¡¯s such a difficult princess
I don¡¯t like Hiro. I really don¡¯t.
¨D¨D Here, I¡¯ll pat your head ~. Good girl, that¡¯s a goodgirl ~¨D¨D
¨D¨DEh, don¡¯t touch me!
¨D¨DWhoa!? Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!
Hiro got carried away and tried to touch my head without my permission.
I would never allow that, even if it meant dying.
I knocked him out without holding back at all.
¨D¨DI¡¯m not Hiro¡¯s little sister! Don¡¯t ever touch my head! If you touch me again, I¡¯ll just beat you up!
Don¡¯t kid yourself. Don¡¯t kid yourself.
Don¡¯t touch my head.
There is only one person in the world who can pet me.
Me, Hiro¡¯s sister? Annoying, so annoying.
I only have one Big brother.
There is only one in the world, the coolest and best big brother in the world.
You¡¯re not him.
I don¡¯t care what happens to you after Big brother is born.
With that in mind, I endured, but I still fought, knowing that I could never let Hiro and Mamu die.
¨D¨DEspie-jou¡¡
¨D¨DKoujiro¡¡ what?
¨D¨DI won¡¯t ask too deeply¡¡ I just want you to answer me one thing. The reason you¡¯re fighting with us right now, risking your life¡¡ is it because there¡¯s something you want¡¡ afterwards?
¨D¨DWhat is it?
¨D¨DI don¡¯t know what happened to your Onii-san, but¡the way you were acting, at first I thought you were on a rampage¡ that you were desperate¡but the way you fight, I can¡¯t help but feel like you¡¯re fighting for something, trying to protect it, right?
Koujiro didn¡¯t ask me what happened to Big brother.
At first, Koujiro thought that Big brother was dead, and that I was driven by rage and going on a rampage in the war.
But I think he realized I¡¯m not like that at all.
I don¡¯t get along with Koujiro because he can see through a lot of things.
¨D¨DUn. I want to see Big brother again¡ that¡¯s why I¡¯m fighting¡¡
¨D¨D Is that so? Then I¡¯ll have to fight harder than you and be of some use.
But I don¡¯t dislike Koujiro that much.
¨D¨D¡¡ Ah¡¡
¨D¨D¡¡ ah¡¡
At the headquarters of the Allied Forces, I asionally pass Sadiz, who was under Mamu¡¯s protection.
Before, I had never tried to have anything to do with Sadiz.
But Sadiz was a poor child who didn¡¯t have a family, only Mamu, and maybe because I had met Big brother, I couldn¡¯t just leave her alone.
¨D¨DYou can call me Sis if you want.
¨D¨DOh, e, erm¡¡
So I decided to y with Sadiz from time to time, and we got along.
But Hiro and the others were no good. I won¡¯t let them pet me. I won¡¯t even be their little sister.
I¡¯ll only protect them. For Big brother to be born into this world.
I fought.
I waited.
Fought.
Waited.
Fought.
Waited.
¨D¨DThe war is over! We won! And from this day forward, the conflict between humans and demons wille to an end! No more killing each other!
Even after the war ended, I waited.
Waited.
Waited.
Waited.
asionally fought.
¨D¨DNo waaaayy! There¡¯s, like, no way I¡¯m letting Hiro get married! After what he did to me¡¡ He might think he can hide his identity by calling himself ¡®Ragaan-Man¡¯, but he totally can¡¯t fool me! He¡¯s so gonna take responsibility!
¨D¨DI¡¯m going to fight, yer! I won¡¯t let anything get in the way of Hiro and Mamu¡¯s marriage! Besides, Hiro isn¡¯t Ragaan-man! That was Big brother¡¡ ah¡¡
¨D¨DY, you idiot, Espie! That¡¯s¡¡
¨D¨D¡¡ he? Like, what¡¯s that supposed to mean?
Fighting¡ loads of fighting¡ un.
And¡¡
¨D¨DHey, Sadiz, let Espie hold him too?
¨D¨DUh¡¡ fine, as a special treat! But only for ten seconds! Even Sis Espie can¡¯t do it too long!
It was then that I finally realized that Big brother hadn¡¯t been lying.
¨D¨DThis child is a new member of my, Hiro, and Sadiz¡¯s family¡¡ he¡¯s Earth.
¨D¨DOh¡¡ yes¡¡ Earth¡¡ that name¡¡
¨D¨DUuh¡¡ Yes, it¡¯s been ten seconds. It¡¯s over. The time for you to hold Little man is over. Only Sadiz may hold him for a long time.
It was true. Everything Big brother said.
So really, we can see each other again.
¨D¨Dyer! He¡¯s born! Big brother was born! His name is Earth! He¡¯s Big brother! He¡¯s definitely Big brother!
¨D¨DReally?! Then¡¡ we really¡¡ someday, really¡¡ we¡¯ll really be able to meet Brother¡¡.
¨D¨DUn! Un!
¨D¨Dwe did it, we will¡¡ Hooray! We¡¯ll see Brother again!
¨D¨DUn! We did it, we did it! We did it!
We held hands and jumped up and down for joy.
In fact, that was the first time that yer and I were truly happy together with big smiles on our faces.
That¡¯s how happy we were.
We just waited, not knowing if that future would reallye, but now that we know that it will definitelye, we finally had hope.
That¡¯s why I can work harder.
I¡¯vee to feel like I can just wait patiently.
¨D¨DToday¡¯s Union Meeting subject is the Bockmati Family. The recent arrest of their boss, Inai, in our empire has weakened the organization. However, we must remain vignt of the remnants and other missing executives.
¨D¨D That¡¯s right. Me and Solja¡ no, I mean¡ well, His Majesty, were able to arrest Inai pretty easily, but if there had been other martial leaders, it would have been a bit tougher.
¨D¨DI¡¯ve heard about that. ording to the information I have obtained, some martial leaders, such as Deitkonne, Devan Nash, and Jareta, all infamous in the underworld for being stronger than a thousand Bounty Hunters, crossed into Japone territory along with their underlings, but have since disappeared¡¡ doesn¡¯t that worry you? And, Hiro, calling Solja ¡®His Majesty¡¯ feels a little strange, doesn¡¯t it?
I did my best on the surface. But yer isn¡¯t as good as me~, well, I think he did his best.
After all, he wiped out all the martial leaders of the Bockmati Family who were trying to find and capture elves.
But, if this were toe out, then the elf settlement would be exposed too, so we have to keep it a secret.
Yes, a lot happened¡¡
A very cute baby girl was born between Mr. Chieftain and Mrs. Yitea¡¡.
That thing with Ms. Lal¡¡
Norja¡¯s ¡¡ un¡¡ as for that¡¡ un¡¡
yer¡¯s decision to stop being a hunter and open a tool shop¡¡
That I also cut ties with my country when the time was right¡¡
And other things about me and yer¡¡
¡°We¡¡ we¡¯ve waited long enough, haven¡¯t we¡¡ we¡¯ve done our best¡¡ yer.¡±
¡°Yeah. It¡¯s almost here¡ yeah¡¡ soon.¡±
Both yer and I were restless as we reflected on what had happened so far, almost bursting into tears, but also smiling, and at the same time getting nervous.
We¡¯ve been waiting anxiously ever since we saw ¡°Earth Lagann¡± off.
I¡¯ve been waiting for the day when Earth Lagann wille back and be our big brother¡¡ For a long time¡¡ for a long time¡¡
¡°Oh!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, something shed a short distance away.
I couldn¡¯t see it through the trees in the forest.
But I knew.
Someone appeared over there.
And the person who appeared there ran this way at a tremendous speed.
But, you know, no matter how fast you run, I won¡¯t forgive you.
Do you know how long¡ how long yer and I have waited¡¡ really, really¡¡ How long do you think we¡¯ve waited!
¡°Espie!¡±
¡°Un!¡±
No matter how hard you run, I won¡¯t forgive you!
No matter how much you apologize, I won¡¯t forgive you!
No matter how much you hug me, I won¡¯t forgive you!
No matter how much you pat me on the head, I won¡¯t forgive you!
I will never, ever, ever forgive you!
No matter what, I¡¯ll never forgive(bloom) you again!- Twitter

Chapter 352: A Place to Return to
As the light of the watch subsided, I looked around and saw that thendscape had changed.
But I knew the ce right away.
In the forest facing the sea.
This was the port town of Ghenkan.
¡°Am I¡.. back?¡±
¡ºI suppose so.¡»
Not just the location, but the time too?
But right now, there is something I need to do before I can confirm anything.
¡°Those guys! Espie! yer!¡±Is it a little off from the original location?
Where are they?
What¡¯s the margin of error?
When I thought that¡¡
¡ºChild, over there! There is a campfire¡¡. in that direction¡¡ ¡»
¡°Oh!¡±
The smoke from the campfire rose like a smoke signal.
That¡¯s where it all started.
I didn¡¯t even need to use radar. It¡¯s a waste of time to even use it at all.
¡ºGo, Child!¡»
¡°Yes! Breakthrough!¡±
It¡¯s just a short trip. That¡¯s why I even used the breakthrough.
To get there as soon as possible.
¡°Espie¡¡ yer ¡¡¡±
For me, it was just a moment ago.
¨D¨DBig brother¡¡ ugh, b¡¡ b¡¡ Big brotheeeeeeer!
¨D¨DBro¡¡ ther¡¡ ah¡¡
Even though they were still in such pain, how many years did I make them wait?
More than ten years, from before I was born until now.
I made them wait such a ridiculous amount of time¡¡
¨D¨DHello, big brother who makes his little sister cry?.
¨D¨DYou¡ who are you?
¨D¨DHuh~¡¡ pisses me off~¡¡ that you don¡¯t know me¡
She¡¯s my little sister! The little sister I¡¯ve kept waiting for over ten years!
¨D¨DAren¡¯t you going to buy it?
¨D¨DAh, erm¡ are you¡ the clerk here?
¨D¨DHmm? Oh¡¡ you don¡¯t know me?
He¡¯s my brother! The brother I¡¯ve kept waiting for over ten years!
No wonder he was so annoyed.
It¡¯s only natural to be disappointed.
What did I do to them¡¡
¨D¨DHey, wait a minute, you! If you¡¯d just shut up and listen to me, what the heck is going on! I mean, what is one of the Seven Heroes even doing here?! Is Amae the sister who I made cry?! If that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ve already settled it. We¡¯ve already made up and she even kissed me on the cheek!
¨D¨D¡¡ Hmm?
¨D¨DI wouldn¡¯t leave my little sister crying! Or what is it? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but I¡¯ve heard rumors that you¡¯re like a sister to my parents! Aren¡¯t you justplicating things for some reason? Aargh?
¨D¨D¡¡¡¡
¨D¨DTo start with, the shopkeeper there also suddenly shows up, bbering on and on with a nk expression on his face about ¡¡ how much he loves curry!
¨D¨D¡¡¡ unh¡¡
Damn idiot! Damn idiot! Damn idiot! I¡¯m such a damn idiot!
¨D¨DHmm~, he got mad because of yer.
¨D¨DYou made him angry, you know?
¨D¨DYou¡¯re both to me, damn it! You guys are so annoying!!
Scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag! Such a scumbag!
¨D¨DIn the first ce, there¡¯s so much I don¡¯t get, from the moment you first appeared to this very moment! The only thing I know about you is that you are one of the seven heroes, you are the manager¡¯s girlfriend, and you are kind of a pain in the ass! And you¡¯re asking me to do you a favor? To help you out? I don¡¯t get it!
Drop dead, stupid bastard!
¡°Ua, ah, aaaaaahh, damn it! Stupid! Stupid!!¡±
I¡¯ve never felt more stupid and like scum than I do today.
¡°I¡ what have I done to them¡ I¡¯m sorry¡ I¡¯m so sorry!¡±
Even though I didn¡¯t know the circumstances, what did I say to those guys who finally came to see me after waiting for over a decade?
I can¡¯t stop crying.
¡°Ah¡¡.¡±
And then there they were.
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡±
After more than a decade, Espie and yer were now older than me.
They stood side by side in front of the fire, staring at me.
¡°Hah~, hah~¡¡ Espie¡¡ yer ¡¡¡±
¡°¡±Eehh!??¡±¡±
The moment I called their names, they both flinched and shook their bodies.
And¡¡
¡°O, oh? You¡¯re back~, d, d¡ did something happen to make you look like that? You¡¯re the worst kind of person who makes your little sister cry¡ b¡ Big brother?¡±
Espie quipped with a smirk.
But I get it. It¡¯s not sarcasm, it¡¯s confirmation.
She wanted to make sure I¡¯m really ¡°me¡±.
Her eyes were already brimming with tears and her voice was shaking.
¡°No.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°I¡¯m¡¡ the worst bastard in history¡ I made my beloved little sister and brother cry!!¡±
¡°Ah¡¡.¡±
Tears spilled from Espie¡¯s eyes and yer¡¯s eyes at my words.
¡°¡¡ it¡¯s been over fifteen years, you know?¡±
¡°Espie¡¡¡±
¡°Since then¡ we¡¯re now much older than you¡ it¡¯s toote now!¡±
That¡¯s right. I¡¯mte. Much toote.
¡°It¡¯s true¡¡
¡°yer ¡¡¡±
¡°You came to us out of nowhere when we were all alone¡ taught us warmth¡ and love¡¡ and made us like you so much¡ yet you just disappeared without a trace¡ don¡¯t mess around.¡±
Yes. It¡¯s only natural that they would hate me. I deserved to be punched in the face.
¡°Oh¡¡ really¡¡ even if I apologize, I can¡¯t atone for it¡¡¡±
Sorry. Such words are too light.
Even if I put together all the words of apology that exist, they would still be too light.
But¡¡
¡°Espie, yer ¡¡¡±
I walked over to them and put my hands on the heads of my older sister and brother, who had grown up.
¡°You¡¯ve gotten¡ so big¡¡.¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?!¡±¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry ¡ for making you wait until you got so big¡ really, I¡¯m sorr¨D¨D¨D¡±
The next thing I knew, they both jumped on me at the same time, knocking me to the ground, and they just hugged me¡¡
¡°Uh, uh, ah¡ Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Big brother¡ Big brother!¡±
¡°Uuuuugh, B-Brother! Brother! Brother!¡±
The eyes of the sobbing two were just like they were back then.
¡°Big brother!¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
¡°Brother!¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
I could easily be pushed down like this by the two hugging me now.
¡°Idiot, idiot, idiot! You idiot! Big brother, you idiot big brother! I won¡¯t forgive! I¡¯ll never forgive you! Ugh, I¡¯ll, I¡¯ll beat you up¡ so!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ll never forgive you! This Brother¡¡ this Brother!¡±
And they were smacking on my chest.
Again and again¡¡
¡°Yeah¡¡ beat me up¡¡ keep hitting me¡ until you feel better.¡±
I epted it all and hugged them both.
I¡¯ll never let go again!
¡°I¡¯ve been doing my best, since then¡¡ I cried a lot, I fought, I waited¡¡ I wanted to go see Big brother, but I thought maybe I shouldn¡¯t change the future, so I couldn¡¯t go until the veryst moment¡¡¡±
¡°So much has happened between us! Since then, there have been so much that we can¡¯t talk about¡¡ all this time, preparing for this day!¡±
¡°Yes. Yes¡¡ tell me all about it¡¡ we have plenty of time now. Even if you all disappear from my sight this time, I¡¯ll chase after you¡ we¡¯ll be together. This time for sure¡¡!¡±
This time, I will keep the oath and promise I made back then.
¡°Espie¡¡ yer ¡¡ from now on, let¡¯s talk a lot¡¡ let¡¯s y a lot¡¡ and let¡¯s spend a lot of time together¡¡ will you stay with me? I¡¡ I¡¯m younger than you guys, but¡ I want to be your¡ Big Brother again¨D¨D¡±
¡°¡±Of course!!¡±¡±
Holding them both in my arms, I slowly raised my body¡ they¡¯re heavy¡ ah, really heavy¡ I¡¯ll never forget this weight for the rest of my life.
¡°Hey, Espie¡¡ yer ¡¡ do you want to make some curry first?¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?!¡±¡±
And the two of them, who had been sobbing, smiled at my words, even though they were in tears.
¡°Un! Of course!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s make it! Let¡¯s eat! Lots¡ and lots! From now on too¡¡±
The two of them jumped to their feet and quickly began getting ready.
And then¡¡
¡°Ah, that¡¯s right, Big brother!¡±
¡°Ah, that¡¯s right, Brother!¡±
They turned to me, and then¡¡
¡°¡±Wee back!!¡±¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
Those words soaked into my soul.
My journey took me away from my home, across the world, and even through time.
At the end of it, I arrived at the ce I could return to.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar. My journey isn¡¯t over yet, but from now on, these guys will also¡ is that okay?¡¹
¡ºWhy ask such obvious questions now?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar nodded, smiling, and I said to the two of them¡¡
¡°Yeah. I¡¯m back!¡±
I swear it once more.
Even if I turn the whole world against me, I¡¯ll stay with these guys.
Author¡¯s Note
This is not thest chapter. It will go on for a little while longer.
Ah~¡¡ I managed to write down everything I had originally nned¡ I¡¯m exhausted, thank you, I¡¯m grateful.
I was finally able to tie up the plot point I had casually hinted at in ¡°Chapter 26 ¨C A Conversation between Two People¡°, with the idea of, ¡°If For Bre bes a long-running series, I will do a time travel arc~¡±.
Ever since the younger sister and brother first appeared, I had heard a lot ofments like, ¡°Espie and yer are annoying, serves them right!!¡±. I¡¯m sure they felt great seeing them cry. I was really heartbroken, though¡¡
Anyway, I¡¯m d that the beginning and the end were able toe together as originally nned.
So, please give me a little time for the next arc. Even though I have the material, I¡¯m not feeling energetic right now, so I¡¯m going to take a break.
As usual, I¡¯ve written a new work again, so I¡¯d be happy if you¡¯d take a look whether you¡¯re interested or not.
¡°The Banished Demon Prince Strikes Back with the Saintly Hero Trainees~ It¡¯s Still Too Early for My /novelview/infotop/ncode/n1870gq/
Just in case, I¡¯ll put a link below.
It¡¯s a good title. In Parts 6 and 7, there wasn¡¯t much romance, and a lot of things gotplicated¡¡ Norja? I don¡¯t know what you mean.
See you soon!
Finally, I would be grateful if you could rate my work so far.
TL¡¯s Note
Aaaand, another arc done!!! A nice heartwarming reunion, before the chaos resumes¡ I guess. What were they doing before the Time Jump??? Might need to re-read that.
Anyway, gonna take a short break, then be right back at it. Earth still has heroes and Supremacy he is yet to bump into, ya know.
Thanks for all the support. This year has been trying, but you¡¯ve been a lot of help. Especially my Patreon supporters, y¡¯all rock, exceptionally.
See you soon-ish. Hopefully with a new series too.- Twitter

Chapter 353: Intermission (Elven Daughter)
In me, there is something that has remained unchanged since my earliest days.
¨D¨D Say, Amicus, you really cherish that book, do you not?
¨D¨D Un, Mother! I dearly love this book¡ that Father penned!
In my tender years, when I was yet untainted and ignorant, my father, a writer,pleted a work.
It was with my father¡¯s book that I learned to read and write, and I came to know the tale by heart.
The story is so beloved by the children of my generation in the vige where I live, to the point that not one of them is unfamiliar with it.
¨D¨DFather. I would love for you to write more of this tale, much as you do with the Destiny series~.
¨D¨DHmm? Ah~, well, perhaps someday¡ someday¡ when the time is right.
The sole grievance I harbor is that my father has not penned further chapters of this tale, despite my yearning to see it continue.My love for this story runs so deep that it is the onlyint I have towards my beloved father.
Besides¡¡
¨D¨DHello, Amicus. Oh? Reading that book again? You truly do love it, don¡¯t you?
¨D¨DReally¡¡ you must have it memorized by now, right?
¨D¨DShould I not have? Brother¡¡ Sister
¨D¨DHmmm! It¡¯s not wrong at all~
¨D¨DWell, I like that book too.
Since my early childhood, Sister Espie and Brother yer have often visited our vige, bringing me souvenirs, ying with me, helping with my studies, and even secretly taking me to the nearby town.
Though they are humans and different from us elves, they are like family to me and everyone in our settlement.
¨D¨DI really admire the boy who is the protagonist of this story¡¡ neither righteous nor viinous, he holds fast to his beliefs¡¡ there¡¯s a fiery passion in him that the boys in this vige just don¡¯t have¡¡ And above all, he cherishes his younger sister and brother dearly, which shows his deep love for his family¡¡
¨D¨D Un un ?
¨D¨DYes, that¡¯s exactly it.
¨D¨DAnd even though I hardly know anything about the world outside this vige¡¡ when I read this book, I feel as though I¡¯m adventuring in that world myself¡ it¡¯s strange, isn¡¯t it¡ to feel like this¡¡
¨D¨DIt¡¯s not strange. It¡¯s not strange at all. This boy is cool, isn¡¯t he? And the sister is just adorable! Much cuter than his little brother! She¡¯s so cute, isn¡¯t she?
¨D¨DNo, no, I think the brother is better. The sister is crass, selfish, and a crybaby¡¡ yes, the brother is better.
¨D¨DFufu¡ You two always bicker like this¡¡ but this boy¡¡ if he really existed, surely he¡¯d be just like the hero who is said to have defeated the Great Demon King and saved the world¨D¨D
¨D¨DNo way! This boy is way, way, way cooler than the hero!
¨D¨DYeah, yeah. That¡¯s the one thing I agree with Espie on.
My Father has written many tales, yet among all these works, the one that holds a special ce in my heart, the one I love most, has always been and remains this story.
Ever since I was young and dered my affection for it, both Sister and Brother would always seem so pleased, and they would shower me with affection.
I cherish those two dearly as well.
But as ofte¡¡
¨D¨D Unbelievable¡ I can¡¯t believe it! Why!? What is this!? The Empire¡ those guys¡ those bastards¡ what is with them!? Hiro and Mamu, they¡¯re utterly useless! Unforgivable! I want to blow them away right now! I can¡¯t forgive¡ why¡ why¡¡ would they do something so terrible¡¡
¨D¨DThose people from the Empire¡¡ how dare they insult Brother¡¡. it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve felt so angry¡¡ I want to protect my wounded brother right now¡¡
¨D¨DNo, no, calm yourselves. The Imperial Match has ended, and now begins his journey¡¡ a few months from now, at Ghenkan, right? If we make unnecessary moves now and disrupt history, what then? You¡¯ve both been waiting for over ten years, haven¡¯t you?
¨D¨DThat¡¯s right. Calm down a bit, both of you. Well, I can understand the anger when someone precious is insulted, but¡¡
Ofte, Sister, Brother, Father, and even Master have been whispering to each other in secret.
It astonishes me to see Sister and Brother, who never show their emotions before us or the others, disy such raw anger.
And yet, they won¡¯t tell me the reason or cause of this.
Is it because I am still a child?
Among the long-lived elves, I am but 15 years old.
However, we elves age simrly to humans until we reach the age of 20, after which the pace of aging slows considerably.
Sister and brother were already considered adults by the time they were 15, so while I may still be somewhat inexperienced, I believe I am at least halfway to adulthood.
At the very least¡¡
¨D¨DHuh? Amicus, those clothes¡ are they new? Didn¡¯t I give you lots of hand-me-downs the other day?
¨D¨DI, I¡¯m, sorry, sister. Um, it¡¯s just¡¡ the, um, chest¡¡ was too tight for me¡¡
¨D¨D¡¡ What¡¡?
¨D¨DApologies! Even though Sister granted those to me¡¡
¨D¨D W-well, I¡ ahem, have a bit of confidence myself, but¡ hey, Amicus¡ h, have they grownrger again?
At the very least, I believe my body has joined the ranks of adulthood.
And yet, being kept in the dark like this, I felt very lonely¡¡
However, it was at such a time that¡
¡°Eh?! F, father¡¡. what do you mean?¡±
¡°Hmm? It¡¯s as I say. Amicus, you¡¯ve been asking since you were a child¡¡
¡°Th, that¡¯s true¡ but why so sudden? Why would you suddenly decide to continue the tale!?¡±
Such a shock! Have I ever experienced such a moment before?
To my surprise, Father had dered his intent to pen the continuation of my beloved tale.
Naturally, I was overjoyed.
Yet, I found myself steeped in bewilderment.
This tale was written by Father many years ago. And though I oft implored him to continue it, he would but offer vague responses, nevermitting to write more.
And now, all of a sudden, he was resolved to do so. Why?
¡°Haha, it¡¯s not sudden at all¡¡ I did always say so, did I not? When the time is right¡ and now, the time has finallye.¡±
Then my father smiled, as if reminiscing about the past.
It was rare to see him smile¡ªusuallyzy, prone to procrastination, and somewhat contrary in nature. Yet, in this moment, he smiled, and then¡
¡°Atst, the time hase to continue this tale.¡±
With that, Father raised aloft the copy of ¡°The Adventures of Ragaan-man¡± in his hand.
Author¡¯s Note
Now¡ I¡¯ll y around a little bit more.
Please take a look when you have time.
For the time being, Kakuyomu is one chapter ahead (https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054918478427), but I will continue to do my best here.- Twitter

Chapter 354: Spoiled Rotten
We ate the curry that brought back memories with tears in our eyes.
I thought I made a lot, but we all had second helpings until the pot was empty.
I didn¡¯t just have a full stomach, my heart was full.
And after a day with so much going on, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and drowsiness came over me.
So, we decided to split up the work, clean up, and rest for the day¡ but¡¡
¡°Hey, Espie, don¡¯t you have to clean up? yer is washing the pots and pans in the river and he¡¯ll be mad when he gets back.¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine~ it¡¯s fine~ ?¡±
Espiey down, using myp as a pillow. She put her hands around my waist and purred like a spoiled child.
¡°Big brother, your hands have stopped moving!¡±¡°Yes, yes¡¡¡±
And just ap pillow won¡¯t be enough for Espie.
¡°Good girl, good girl¡¡ will this do?¡±
¡°¡¡ un¡¡ I forgive you¡¡ Gush¡¡ un¡¡ ehehe.¡±
I gently stroked her head.
Espie became a little tearful, but soon grinned happily.
¡°It¡¯s Big brother¡¡ Big brother¡¯s smell¡¡ Big brother¡¯s hand¡¡ Gush, it¡¯s actually real¡¡ it¡¯s Big brother ~ ¡¡¡±
Espie is older than me now. Older than Sadiz.
The body that was once easy to carry has now grown a lot.
You¡¯re an adult, how long are you going to be so spoiled? I couldn¡¯t bring myself to say that. No, in fact, I¡¯m happy too.
Even though she¡¯s grown up so much, she¡¯s still my little sister and I¡¯ll spoil her again.
So, I put my heart and soul into it, and worked really hard for my sister who waited so long.
If she¡¯s happy with something like this, I¡¯ll be happy to do as much as I can ¡¡ and ¡¡
¡°You¡¯ve been waiting for over 10 years¡¡ ¡°
¡°Un¡¡ I waited¡ it was dreadful¡ and I fought¡ and then I waited some more¡¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°And by the way, I cut off all ties with my country.¡±
¡°O, oh, I see. Well, that¡¯s good, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll restrain Norja¡¡ n, never mind that. Another time.¡±
¡°Hmm? Huh? Did you just casually mention an amazing name?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine! Anyway, I just waited!¡±
As one of the Seven Heroes, she defeated the Great Demon King¡¡ but that wasn¡¯t the end of it. There was so much more to her life after that.
After I left them behind, both she and yer had very intense and difficult days¡¡
¡°Earth Lagann was born and grew up, but never showed any signs of bing Big brother¡¡¡±
¡°Ha, haha¡¡¡±
¡°After the Graduation Match, I thought about blowing all those guys away, but I managed to hold myself back¡¡.¡±
¡°I see¡¡
¡°yer opened the Equipment Shop so that you could find him as soon as you got to Ghenkan¡¡¡±
¡°Is that so¡¡
¡°But I couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so I went to Cacretale anyway, but we missed each other¡¡.¡±
¡°Yes¡¡.¡±
¡°Amae, was it? She¡¯s not your only little sister, you know?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s true.¡±
¡°Anyway! There was loads, loads, loads!¡±
¡°Ah.¡±
Espieined while being spoiled by myp pillow. I listened to her and nodded, continuing to stroke her head.
And even though Espieined, she purred and snuggled on myp every time I stroked her head.
I still wanted to feel Espie, so I didn¡¯t stop stroking her.
But¡¡
¡°Ah¡¡.¡±
¡°¡±Ah¡¡¡±¡±
yer returned with a shiny polished pot in his hand and red at us both.
¡°Wh, what¡¡ what are you doing, skipping the cleanup?¡±
Oops, yer looked sulky¡huh? That reminds me¡Ah, that¡¯s right!
Just then I remembered something ridiculous.
Surely, Espie and yer were dating, right?
So, right now, I was stroking her head while her boyfriend was away¡¡
¡°Hmm~? What is it~? yer. I¡¯m receiving ten years¡¯ worth of pampering from Big brother, so don¡¯t interrupt me, okay?¡±
¡°Eehh!??¡±
Hey, don¡¯t provoke your boyfriend either!
Even I would be pissed if I saw Kron, Shinobu, or Sadiz lying on a man¡¯sp and being pampered by him when I wasn¡¯t there¡¡ no, it¡¯s not like Kron or Shinobu are my girlfriends yet¡¡
¡°What are you doing to Brother, Espie!¡±
¡°He¡¯s mine~! My Big brother~!¡±
¡°Brother, you¡¯re guilty too! Always favoring Espie¡¡m, m, me too, I ¡¡ I¡¯ve been waiting for over ten years too¡¡¡±
¡°Eh, that¡¯s it!? That¡¯s what you¡¯re jealous of!?¡±
He¡¯s jealous of Espie, not me! No, no, these guys¡¡ these guys are¡¡
¡°Hah, Espie. You move a little bit.¡±
¡°Eh? Why, Big brother! I¡¯m not satisfied yet~!¡±
¡°Only halfway.¡±
¡°?¡±
Espie had been resting her head on both of my knees, but now she¡¯s only resting her head on my right leg¡¡
¡°¡¡ Hmm.¡±
¡°B, Brother¡¡.¡±
¡°Right¡here you go!¡±
I pped my left leg with a pop.
¡°Well, I guess that can¡¯t be helped. How old do you think I am, Brother? I¡¯m not so young that I would ask for such childish things, but if you want to pamper me, I guess it¡¯s my role as a younger brother toply¡¡.¡±
But, as expected, yer wasn¡¯t one to jump on the bandwagon right away.
He made all kinds of excuses¡ and that¡¯s why I¡¡
¡°Hey¡¡ yer¡±
¡°Eh?! Wh, what is it, Brother¡¡.?¡±
¡°Let me take care of you too¡e on,e on. Please.¡±
¡°B, Brother¡¡ Hmm.¡±
Hahaha, yer looks deeply moved and teary-eyed.
When I first saw him at the Equipment Shop, I thought he was the cool, handsome type¡¡
¡°Ah~, yer ~, you¡¯re crying~, spoiled brat~¡±
¡°S-shut up, I don¡¯t want to hear that from you!¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine~, I am a spoiled brat. If you¡¯re not, then yer, you can just clean up by yourself.¡±
¡°I, I received a direct request from Brother! So, this, um, has to be done.¡±
yer came over to me eagerly, arguing lightly with Espie, and although he looked a little nervous, he rested her head on myp.
As I stroked his head¡¡
¡°You¡¯ve grown up so much¡¡ yer ¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ Brother¡¡.¡±
He became as quiet as a curled-up cat.
I¡¯m the younger one here. These are my older brother and sister. It¡¯s clearly a contradiction. But the feeling is genuine.
I¡¯ll always be their big brother. I told myself that, stroking their heads as if to reaffirm it, and savoring the happiness I felt right now.
¡ºIn a fashion, I am present as well, but¡¡ hold on? If our journey henceforth will be as such¡¡ the child may not give me any attention at all¡¡ no! Yes, indeed, I will have less time to train the child! This is a grave issue for a master. Well, from now on, I only need increase the intensity and duration of our Vier practice sessions while he sleeps! Yes, let us proceed as such!¡»- Twitter

Chapter 355: Good Enough? There’s No Such Thing
¡°Instead of Shiznautmy, should we first take a detour and visit the elven settlement?¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
With the two of them hugging me, I had no choice but to sleep like this.
I guess from their perspective, they just wanted to make sure that I would stay¡ but there¡¯s no way I would disappear.
That aside, before going to sleep, I wanted to ask about what we were going to do tomorrow, but Espie and yer spoke up first.
¡°We bought somend with Big brother¡¯s money, and multiple barriers were erected around it, so the elven settlement is still going strong. Mr. Chieftain and the others have been wanting to thank you for everything you did for them, and they want to see you.¡±
¡°Since then, we¡¯ve been visiting the elven settlement regrly and staying there too. I told the Chieftain that we¡¯ll be reunited with Brother soon.¡±
¡°I see¡ the Chieftain.¡±
For me, it was just yesterday, but for others, just like Espie and yer, it had been over a decade since west met.And I was relieved to find that the elven settlement had survived all these decades.
¡°Yeah. Well, let¡¯s go then.¡±
¡°Un! I¡¯m looking forward to it ~! Besides, there¡¯s a child who wants to meet Big brother~?¡±
¡°Well then, let¡¯s go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow! Espie, you¡¯re in the way so move aside. A slovenly body like yours is not good for Brother¡¯s future education.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true~¡±
I¡¯m having a hard time sleeping, but it¡¯ll be okay for today at least. Espie has also grown a lot, but strangely enough, I didn¡¯t feel anything weird about it.
After all, we¡¯re family, ¡¡.
Well, maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve matured through various encounters and experiences.
Like Kron, Shinobu, and Sadiz.
Not so long ago, I would have panicked and gotten upset if a woman with a nice body got close to me, but I guess that means I¡¯m not that kind of kid anymore, right?
Somehow, through all the encounters and battles I¡¯ve had so far, I think I¡¯ve grown a lot.
In fact, I survived encounters against the Six Supremacy like this.
I¡¯ve gotten stronger¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡¸Super Demon Spiral, Devil Spiral, Catastrophe!!¡¹
¡¸GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAeh!!!????¡¹
I¡¯ve grown, and I¡¯ve gotten stronger¡¡ and my slightly egotistical nose was crushed to pieces by an incredible force.
Well, in the world of Vier¡¡ what else can I call it¡ a natural disaster, or the end of the world¡ basically¡¡
¡¸Ah~, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ just now¡¡ jeez, I don¡¯t get it anymore.¡¹
It was beyond the level of being dismembered or torn to shreds, every single cell was gone.
At this point, my only emotion was dread, or ¡°what the hell was that?¡±.
I mean, I don¡¯t even know if it was an evolved version of the Great Demon Spiral.
¡¸What else can I say, Tre¡¯ainar is still as exceptional as ever¡¡¡¹
I¡¯ve been through fierce battles with Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, Norja, and Gouda.
With legendary title holders that were once rivals of my parents.
Now though¨D¨D¨D
¡¸Hmph, knowing you, having fought Norja and triumphed over Gouda in the past, you likely entertained the conceit that you could hold your own against me, even if slightly, in your current state.¡¹
¡¸Yes, I¡¯m sorry! I thought so, dammit!¡¹
After mastering all my skills ¨C footwork, speed, technique, eyesight, foresight, and after that fierce battle with Gouda ¨C I thought I was ready to take on the world.
But then, as always, I lost badly to Tre¡¯ainar.
¡¸My goodness, who do you think I am? Certainly, you have battled the Six Supremacy and even defeated Gouda. However, know this, I am the Great Demon King who led said Six Supremacy. To battle with me is akin to facing all six of thembined.¡¹
¡¸¡¡¡¡ Ugh¡¡ I ¡¡.¡¹
Six people¡ Jamdi¡¯el, Paripi, Norja, Gouda, Hakuki, and, though I haven¡¯t met him yet, La¡¯iphant¡¡ all six of them at the same time¡ yeah, there¡¯s no way I can win.
¡¸Do you understand¡¡? Tis true that I did perish once¡ however, I faced all Seven Heroes, the counterparts of the Six Supremacy, at the same time. So tis only natural that I would have triumphed over Hiro in singlebat! In other words, child, you are far from my equal, with much yet to learn from me and countless trials to ovee!¡¹
¡¸Ugh¡¡¡¹
¡¸That being said, I understand the joy of reuniting with your sister and brother, and although tis inevitable that they will apany us on the journey from now on, but enough with the affectionate disys¡¡ do not grow toocent or idle! As such, the training with me shall continue unabated, understood!¡¹
¡¸Ah~, yeah, yes! Got it, Osu!¡¹
¡¸Hmm, that will do.¡¹
I thought I had returned to this era stronger, but on the contrary, I just learned the clear difference in strength between me and Tre¡¯ainar.
I almost slumped my shoulders a little¡¡
¡¸However, well¡ you have be stronger as well.¡¹
¡¸Eh!? Seriously?!¡¹
That one word made my heart leap.
¡¸Well¡¡ mm-hmm¡¡ were not so, Gouda would find no reward. He was not one to be bested through half-hearted measures.¡¹
¡¸¡¡ I see¡¡¡¹
¡¸Indeed¡¡ you did well¡¡ you epted my wish and bore witness to Gouda¡¯s final moments¡¡ very well done¡¡¡¹
When I was told that, I was a little relieved, or rather, had peace of mind.
Well, maybe Tre¡¯ainar was too embarrassed topliment me, so he turned away, but I couldn¡¯t have been happier with it, and my heart instantly became warm and filled with joy.
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ Hehe¡¡ I¡¯m going to get even stronger! I won¡¯t let Goudaugh at me¡¡ and¡¡ I¡¯ve also got Aonii on my shoulders. So, I¡¯m still counting on you!¡¹
¡¸Hmmph. You best brace yourself.¡¹
I¡¯m not strong enough¡¡ not yet¡
I promised Tre¡¯ainar that I would still be strong enough for anything.
And¡¡
¡¸However, that will be all for today.¡¹
¡¸Eh?¡¹
That¡¯s unusual, since we usually train in Vier all night.
I wonder if¡¡
¡¸Now then¡¡ tis time you try impressing me with your cooking.¡¹
¡¸Hah?¡¹
Tre¡¯ainar materialized camping equipment, vegetables, spices, and more into the world of Vier.
¡¸I too shall partake in your curry tonight. I will grade it!¡¹
¡¸Wh, what?¡¹
In this world, Tre¡¯ainar and I can materialize all kinds of things. We can even materialize the food we have eaten.
The food we eat wouldn¡¯t fill us up and nourish our bodies, but it would give us a taste.
But why tonight?
¡¸No, even if you say so, the taste itself isn¡¯t that different from before¡¡¹
¡¸Enough talk, just serve it to me! As we are about to journey across the world, I will evaluate your culinary skills, starting with the curry! After all, if we four are to travel together, it would be remiss that I alone am left out¡¡ in any case, honing your craft in the kitchen shall also sharpen your skills and senses with your hands!¡¹
And now that I¡¯m stronger, not only will I not cut back on my training, but I have other things to do from now on.
Well, there¡¯s no pain involved, so it¡¯s fine.- Twitter

Chapter 356: Tag Rematch
¡°What? A game of tag?¡±
¡°¡±Yes ?.¡±¡±
I woke up in the morning, packed my bags, and was about to head for the elven settlement, then Espie and yer made a proposal to me.
¡°We¡¯re heading there now, but it will take a long time if we go on foot. it¡¯s okay if we take our time¡ but I thought we might as well y around on the way.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll lead the way, so you can follow me and yer, Big brother?.¡±
I finally understood what she meant when she said that.
¡°Oh, I see¡¡ it¡¯s the opposite of what we did in the past¡¡¡±
They both grinned at my words.
¡°In the past, I was powerless to deal with your moves¡¡. but, what about now?¡±¡°Big brother, we¡¯ve gotten stronger, you know? This time, we¡¯ll be able to fight alongside you and even protect you. I¡¯m not the same Seven Hero that the country sold for money and forced into service like before. Well, I don¡¯t really need that title anymore, though ?¡±
The genius, yer, and Espie, one of the Seven Heroes.
Unlike me, they had fifteen years.
Back then, they could only rely on their blessed abilities to fight, and they couldn¡¯t keep up with my movements.
But now, I¡¯m confident that things were different.
¡°I see. Certainly, my strength, having only just returned to this era yesterday, is the same as it was when youst saw my battle with Gouda. Are you saying that you¡¯ve surpassed the me from back then~?¡±
I asked in a slightly teasing manner, and they said¡¡
¡°We would never say something like that. We¡¯re not underestimating the power of the Six Supremacy or the power of Brother, who defeated the Six Supremacy. The power that Brother showed back then¡¡ that¡¯s what we are aiming to reach.¡±
¡°We just want you to see it! We also did our best!¡±
Their two smiling faces were not saying, ¡°We¡¯re stronger than you,¡± but rather ¡°Look at us now¡±.
Of course, if I am asked to do this, there is no reason to refuse.
Because I know better than anyone what it feels like to want people to see who you are now.
¡°Okay, you two. I¡¯ll catch up with you. So, show me!¡±
¡°Yes! Hehehe, I haven¡¯t yed tag with Brother since the deck of that ship. Yes, it¡¯s a great memory of me and you ?¡±
¡°Mmm~~! I was the only one left out back then!¡±
For me, it was just the other day. But for these two, it was a fond and nostalgic memory that brought them joy.
But, for my dignity as their big brother, I can¡¯t afford to lose easily.
I¡¯m going all out.
¡ºHmm¡¡ The mountainous terrain of Japone¡¡ from here, no matter how fast you run, it will take a few days¡¡ a few days¡¡»
A few days. It seemed that something about it had been on Trainer¡¯s mind, as if he had been contemting something.
Something¨D¨D¨D
¡°Well, then, Brother!¡±
¡°Ready~ set~, GO!¡±
¡°Ah! You cheats!?¡±
But before I could figure it out, Espie and yer dashed off from the spot, with an early start.
They ran through the forest in one go.
¡°Ah, I see.~¡¡ ¨C Don¡¯t underestimate your big brother that much! I¡¯ll see just how much they¡¯ve grown!¡±
Anyway, I gave chase.
I used the radar to detect the location of the overgrown trees in advance, and used Magical Parkour to determine the shortest route.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re here, Brother!¡±
¡°Un un! That movement~, it takes me back~¡±
¡°Just follow the n, Espie.¡±
¡°I know. And be careful when that light¡¡ the ¡®Breakthrough¡¯ that Norja was talking about, is activated.¡±
¡°Yeah. If we let our guard down, he¡¯ll catch us right away.¡±
The two running in front of me look somewhat happy while looking back.
Do they think they can afford to do that?
But it was true that not only were their limbs longer, their running was smoother and more efficient.
Do they think they have some leeway? No, it seems that there is still a lot of room to spare.
But¡¡
¡°Always take the shortest route, gradually close the distance¡¡ and I¡¯ll definitely catch them!¡±
Anyway, I ran after them, wanting them to show me¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡ºChild. This game of tag¡¡ is quite good training.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar beside me whispered to me¡¡
¡ºTreat this not as a game, but as a form of training. Pursue those two with utmost seriousness. Regard them not from the vantage of one observing their growth, but as a challenger intent on besting them ¡»
Judging by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s suggestion, it seems that yer and Espie¡¯s powers have grown quite a bit now.
That may be true.
But that¡¯s not all¡¡
¡ºThink of this not as a simple game of tag. This shall be a battle of endurance. And that will be the next challenge I impose on you, child¡¡»
¡°What?¡±
¡ºFor now, child, experience firsthand what you need learn next.¡»
I didn¡¯t expect that the tag showdown celebrating the reunion of an older brother, younger sister, and younger brother would actually turn into a training session.
But, if Tre¡¯ainar says so, then it must have some meaning.
So, while taking note of how much they had grown, I decided to pursue them with all my might.
Author¡¯s Note
Thanks for all your support.
I¡¯ll update tomorrow at about 11 o¡¯clock. I¡¯m too busy to do anything today.
However, as expected, I can¡¯t do anything on the day the manga is updated¡¡ so I¡¯ll just have to do it before the Niconico update- Twitter

Chapter 357: Outwitted
The two, who would have been following along beside me and behind me, now had longer limbs and were running in front of me.
Still, they would asionally look back to check how I was doing.
That made me somewhat happy and motivated me to catch up.
¡°Magical Radar! Finding the shortest route from the very beginning to the very end!¡±
I followed after them, using my eyes and radar to detect their movements along with the surrounding conditions.
Then, my mind began to focus and I could see the path of light.
Magical Shining Road.
¡°As expected of you, Brother!¡±
¡°Un, he¡¯s predicting our movements and following us by the shortest route possible.¡±¡°Will he catch up with the breakthrough eleration once the distance closes?¡±
¡°Yes ?.¡±
The movements of Espie and yer have matured and be more refined as they¡¯ve grown up.
But that¡¯s not all. This is where the real challenge begins.
If these two are truly on par with the Six Supremacy, it won¡¯t be easy to catch up to them¨D¨D¨D
¡°Alright, ¡¾Fluffy Course Change¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
In the next moment, the two of them simultaneously dispersed in a direction that waspletely unexpected based on their muscle movements and body positions.
¡°Wh, what?¡±
They ran in an unexpected direction, so I had to stop abruptly.
It wasn¡¯t a feint. That was¡¡
¡ºTis Espie¡¯s power.¡»
¡°Nu¡¡¡±
¡ºBy using her ability to forcibly alter the flow and orientation of her and yer¡¯s bodies, she outwitted the child¡¯s predictions.¡»
I see. She got me with that one.
If their actions change suddenly at thest minute, my predictions be invalid.
¡°Kuhaha¡ already going all out, huh, Espie!¡±
¡°Nihihihi! Not yet! ¡¾Fluffy Obstacles¡¿!¡±
¡°Wha!?¡±
Just when I thought they had outsmarted me, I found out there was more.
The next moment, Espie started blocking my path with trees and stones from around the forest.
¡°It¡¯s not just about running away~¡±
That stopped me in my tracks and took away my vision.
It wasn¡¯t much of an attack, but she seemed to be trying to get in my way.
¡°Take this! ¡¾Great Demon Flicker¡¿!!¡±
¡°Wow!¡±
But I knocked them all away with high-speed jabs.
Just taking away my vision won¡¯t stop me.
This time, the radar also read the flow of Espie¡¯s power¡¡
¡°Ironmake, ¡¾Light Demon Emperor¡¯s Great Iron Trail¡¿!¡±
¡°Eh¡¡?¡±
This time, yer activated his magic, not Espie.
Suddenly, a lump of iron appeared from under his feet and stretched out, forming a kind of iron walkway through the forest.
¡°Hehehe, if all the routes have been seen through by Brother, then I¡¯ll just create a new path with my own hands!¡±
Even though I followed after finding the shortest route after grasping all the surroundings, he made a new path using his own unique magic.
Now they¡¯ve done it.
To think they¡¯d outwit me again like this¡¡
¡°Kuhahaha, you¡¯re really giving it your all!¡±
Just like with Espie earlier, I¡¯ll have to make new predictions again.
Again, they got me, so I headed up the iron walkway to follow Espie and yer¡¡
¡°Ah, Brother. That will copse in no time.¡±
¡°Huh? W, whoa!?¡±
Halfway up the walkway, I started to climb, it suddenly cracked and shattered into pieces.
The walkway looked solid, but suddenly it was as thin and brittle as ss¡ can they really even make adjustments like that?
¡°But then, you and Espie won¡¯t¡¡.¡±
But if that is the case, wouldn¡¯t Espie and yer, who were running on the walkway, fall off it? I thought, but then I realized Espie¡¯s psychic powers would allow them to float¡ or so I thought¡¡
¡°Whoosh!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Espie didn¡¯t bother to help the falling yer, but instead flew off in a different direction.
But at this rate, yer will¡¡
¡°Ironmake, ¡¾Heavenly Primordial Magic Staff¡¿!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Before falling, yer materialized a long iron rod and thrust it diagonally into the ground, and the pierced rod stretched further through yer¡¯s magic, sending yer far forward through the forest.
¡°Th, those guys!¡±
¡ºBy disrupting the child¡¯s expectations, deceiving him, dispersing his attention by showcasing their respective abilities, and then setting traps to hold him back and distance themselves from him¡¡ you are at their mercy~, child ?.¡»
¡°Tch, they got me¡¡ Those guys, they really made a fool of me ~¡±
Right.
Looks like I yed right into their hands.
Does that mean they¡¯ve gotten that much stronger?
Even more than me¨D¨D
¡ºNo, tis not so, child.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar denied the impression I had.
¡ºThey have indeed be stronger¡¡ however, I would not go so far as to say that they have be much stronger than you, child. That is the extent of your current level, child.¡»
¡°Tre¡¯ainar¡¡¡±
¡ºHad you fought with the intent to defeat them, this would not have urred¡¡ however, if you are at the level determined to merely ¡®run away¡¯, tis a different matter.¡»
They¡¯ve gotten stronger, but by Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s assessment, they are not overwhelmingly stronger than me.
But the reality is that I¡¯m at their mercy.
If so, what does that mean?
¡ºOi, this is no time to dawdle. You need to run, or you will lose sight of them.¡»
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right! So far away¡¡ Damn, I better hurry and catch up.¡±
While I was stuck there confused, the other two seemed to have gone quite far.
If I let them get any further away, I¡¯ll lose sight of them, just like Tre¡¯ainar said.
Then, I need to close the distance even a little¡¡
¡ºTis so¡ in that case¡ your next move is¡¡»
¡°Breakthrough!!¡±
A Breakthrough to close the distance at once¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡ºTis so, the Breakthrough is the only option. But at this distance¡¡ they are far from your reach¡¡ hence they would¨D¨D¨D¡»
At that moment, Tre¡¯ainar whispered to me.
¡°Here hees, yer! Wow, I watched the Graduation Match through a magic crystal, but seeing him live is still fun¡ uuh, it brings back memories! I¡¯m tearing up!¡±
¡°Yes¡¡ The light of Brother¡¯s soul¡¡ and this is where it all begins, Espie!¡±
¡°I know!¡±
¡°In the Imperial Tournament, itsted for about 90 seconds¡¡ but in the past that we know of, itsted about three minutes.¡±
¡°If we can get through those 3 to 4 minutes, we can catch our breath, so focus!¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
And the moment I activated the Breakthrough, yer and Espie, who were far away, looked delighted with a twinkle in their eyes, but then quickly broke out into belligerent smiles.
¡ºChild, do not underestimate you in any way, nor do they take you lightly. Tis because they are serious that they have taken measures against you. Your eyesight, radar, foresight, speed, and the Breakthrough. All of this is so that when they meet you again, you can acknowledge them, so that they can give you a taste of your own medicine and receive praise from you¡¡¡»
So they expected me to use the Breakthrough here?
Those guys, they thought that far¡¡
And¡¡
¡ºAnd you have been virtually unknown up until now¡¡ as such, aside from your spars with me¡ you have never faced an opponent who knows you well enough to prepare countermeasures for you.¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡ºThey had it burned into their eyes, their minds, and their hearts more than a decade ago. Your running, your games of tag, your battle with Norja, your battle with Aonii, your battle with Gouda¡¡ ever since their childhood¡¡ And they have thought about it countless times, until this day came.¡»
Come to think of it, he¡¯s right.
Those two had their eyes on me from the moment we met until the day we parted ways, and they¡¯ve been thinking about me all this time¡¡ until today.

Chapter 358: Stamina
Chapter 358: Stamina
Chapter 358 ¨C Stamina
¡°Damn it, no good¡too far!¡±
I could close the distance between me and those two running in front of me¡¡ but, if I don¡¯t take a breath before reaching them, the breakthrough will be interrupted.
In the end, that one breath ends up with me being just one step short.
¡°Fufufu, too bad, Brother ?.¡±
That game of tag I yed with yer in the past.
With a smile, yer said what seemed to be payback for that time.
¡°That¡¯s twice now, right~?¡±
Espie grinned too.
The speed and distance of yer and Espie running in front of me was just barely out of reach with my breakthrough speed and duration.
No, I¡¯m sure they adjusted it so it would be that close.
¡°Damn¡¡ ha, ha, ha¡¡.¡±
Besides, I was getting a little out of breath after sprinting as fast as I could.
Come to think of it, it was at Cacretale.
Before I learned Magical Breathing, Tre¡¯ainar had said¡
¨D¨DLearn this, and so long as you have physical strength, you will never be unable to use magic forck of magic power¡¡
He did say, ¡°as long as you have physical strength¡±.
So that¡¯s what he meant.
¡°Tis so. Magical Breathing only restores one¡¯s magic power. It does not recover physical strength or fatigue.¡±
Running at full speed for the duration of the Breakthrough. If I still can¡¯t catch up, I¡¯ll have to use Magical Breathing again to chase them with a Breakthrough.
But, the speed of the second dash is slower than the first.
Naturally. I would get tired.
¡°Through your training so far, the child¡¯s mental strength and concentration have improved. These are important in an endurance battle. However, the most important thing is¡ stamina. The current child does not have the stamina to carry on for three days and three nights.¡¯
Stamina. It¡¯s an essential element inbat and in anything else.
I used to run a lot in Cacretale¡¡ but I haven¡¯t done ittely¡¡
¡°On the other hand, both Espie and yer are well-versed in the art of prolongedbat, whether in the throes of war or the pursuits of a hunter¡¡ as a seasoned warrior and a masterful hunter, should they find your weakness, it would prove difficult to take the lead.¡±
¡°Tch¡¡¡¡ they¡¯re already at that level.¡±
¡°Then, fatigue umtes, and the moment you realize it, mental exhaustion and disruption of concentration would set in.¡±
That¡¯s right.
It feels like my concentration was gradually fading and I¡¯m starting to lose track of the Magical Shining Road.
¡°Tre¡¯ainar, is there any kind of magic that can help me recover from fatigue?¡±
¡°Tis not impossible. Rather than recovering fatigue, tis more like a spell to numb one from it¡¡ however, rather than relying on that, it would be more beneficial to consider the future and fortify your stamina.¡»
¡°Is it easy to learn?¡±
¡°It will note in haste. Tis the steady, daily umtion of effort that brings one closer to unrivaled physical and mental strength. Tis not something that can be achieved in a matter of days.¡¯
In other words, even if it¡¯s an endurance battle, does that mean I can¡¯t catch those two right now?
Well, I knew it wouldn¡¯t be easy, considering they had been training for 15 years and had been preparing for today¡¯s game of tag.
But¡¡
¡°But even so, it would be too pathetic to give up so easily.¡±
¡°Indeed. Hence why you should persevere. Take your time, be mindful of your pace, and then think of how best to outwit them¡¡.¡±
We¡¯re just getting started. We¡¯ve still got a few days before we reach the finish line.
Even if I could see how hard they had worked now, I still had to make them say, ¡°As expected¡±.
¡°Surpass the you of yesterday.¡±
¡°Osu!¡±
The duration of the Breakthroughs and my physical strength are not easily extended or recovered.
Knowing this, what can I do?
Take a deep breath, calm your mind and get into the zone¡¡
¡°Fluffy Sandstorm!¡±
¡°Ugh!?¡±
¡°Hmm, I won¡¯t let Big brother concentrate, you know?¡±
Just as I was trying to calm myself down, Espie, who was supposed to be running away, came running back on purpose! With sand for my eyes!?
What a cunning move¡¡ but, what¡¯s the point of blinding me?
My concentration and Magical Radar were not disturbed by that much¡¡
¡°Oh, by the way, Big brother. When I stopped by Cacretale, I heard something interesting~~¡±
¡¸¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Big brother~, between Sadiz dear, little Phianse, the ninja girl of Japone, and someone I only know by name, Kron? Who do you like the most~?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Huh¡¡? Espie? What¡¡
¡°Right, I heard about that from Espie, so I¡¯ve been really curious about it too!¡±
Not only Espie, but even yer, who was far away, came all the way back to say this to me¡¡
¡°I get that it¡¯s inevitable for Brother to be popr with thedies, but the woman you choose shouldn¡¯t be a matter for you alone, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right~? Because, to us, whether she¡¯ll be our older sister? No, since they¡¯re all younger, our younger sister. Either way, she¡¯ll be our family too, you know?¡±
¡°So far, are those four the candidates for Brother¡¯s bride? There¡¯s no one else?¡±
¡°If it¡¯s someone Big brother has chosen from his heart, then we¡¯ll bless the marriage and ept it, but~ if it¡¯s someone you don¡¯t like, then we won¡¯t like them either, you know? For example¡¡ what if you only like the girl for her big boobs, or something like that?¡±
¡°You¡¯re in puberty, after all¡¡ right, Brother?¡±
¡°I always thought you¡¯d marry Sadiz dear, but now there are more options~¡±
Wh, what are these guys saying? Eh? I get that they know about Sadiz and Phianse, but even Shinobu and Kron? No, no, no, boobs? I don¡¯t care if they¡¯re big or small, I mean, if they have them, that¡¯s fine¡¡ but Kron doesn¡¯t have that much¡¡ and Shinobu even less¡¡ I mean, why are my little sister and brother suddenly bringing up love talk with me out of nowhe¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°Fubya?!¡±
Suddenly, I had no footing?!
At that moment, I couldn¡¯t open my eyes due to the sandstorm, and was so flustered by the sudden love talk that my feet gave way and I fell onto something.
A pitfall?
¡°Fufu. You have to concentrate properly, okay? Brother.¡±
¡°Hey~, Big brother got caught~?¡±
Ah¡ah¡those guys!?
¡°Oooooooh, you guys!¡±
¡°Ahahaha, Brother got mad, we have to run away ?.¡±
¡°Yay! Go for it! Whoosh ?¡±
¡°Waaaaah, just you wait! I¡¯ll give your butts a good spanking! Breakthrough!!¡±
Making a fool of your brother¡¡ I¡¯ll get you, that¡¯s a promise!
¡ºFufufu¡ you have totally yed into their hands¡¡»
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯m messing around again. Butt ass¡¡ It¡¯s a serious story, so I hope you enjoy this one too. There is a character in it that you may have seen somewhere before¡¡ but he is a different person.

Chapter 359: Love Talk
In the end, even after spending the whole day at it, I couldn¡¯t catch them.
¡°Hey, Big brother!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s eat lots of curry today too ?.¡±
By the time the sun had set, Espie and yer were sitting up ahead in the middle of the in, waiting for me and saying, ¡°That¡¯s it for today. We¡¯ll continue the game tomorrow.¡±.
We decided to take a break for now, have dinner, and camp here in preparation for tomorrow.
¡°Geez¡¡ you guys¡ have really gotten strong¡¡.¡±
¡°¡±Ugh?!¡±¡±
When I said that while epting the curry that was served on the te, the two of them suddenly looked teary-eyed.
¡°Wh, what is it?¡±¡°Uun¡¡ Big brother praised me¡¡.¡±
¡°He, hehe, Brother, we¡¯re not that good yet, you know? More! We can surprise you even more¡ and we can be even stronger¡ and help you more¡¡¡±
Perhaps ovee with emotion, the two of them looked embarrassed, but also grinned with joy.
I can¡¯t believe that just one word from me could move them so much¡¡ I realized once again that the feelings of these two were so strong, and I felt a little embarrassed.
And then¡¡
¡°But I¡¯m worried~, yer.¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s certainly worrying.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Big Brother, he¡¯s in his growth period right now, right? So, he¡¯ll be even stronger than he is now, right?¡±
¡°Yes, Brother will be even better than he is now¡¡ that¡¯s too strong¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what they were talking about so seriously, but my face started to feel hot¡
¡°That would make Big brother more popr than he is now, right?¡±
¡°Yeah, that would be a problem. Brother, you¡¯re so strong and cool, I¡¯m worried that bad girls might approach you and try to seduce you¡¡?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I have to protect Big brother from the bad women who approach him.¡±
¡°Exactly.¡±
And I thought about it during the day too¡¡ well, you see, these guys are already grownups¡¡ but to me, they¡¯re my little sister and brother¡¡
¡°So, continuing from what we discussed during the day, at the moment, who is the best candidate to be your wife, Big brother?¡±
¡°Yeah, we need to stay properly informed.¡±
¡°I told you to stop! It¡¯s embarrassing! It¡¯s so embarrassing!¡±
I feel so embarrassed talking about love with these two.
But, I¡¯m not here to be attacked all the time, I have to fight back too¡¡
¡°That¡¯s right! If you put it that way, then Espie, yer, you guys are dating, right?¡±
¡°¡±Hmm? Hmm~¡¡ well, yes, but¡¡.¡±¡±
¡°S, s, so, which one of you, um¡ confessed first? Ah? Have you gone on a date or something~?¡±
Okay, even though they¡¯re dating, I haven¡¯t heard anything about it.
I should ask them for every detail and make them blush¡
¡°U~un¡¡ I¡¯m not sure there was a confession¡ it just kind of happened, right? Wasn¡¯t it something like that?¡±
¡°Well, I guess so. It¡¯s not that there¡¯s anything special about it¡ what exactly do you want to know?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
Huh? What? What is this? This casual vibe between them, like they¡¯re totally in sync?
¡°No, no, no, wait! You guys, you know, yer and Espie, are both my brother and sister, so, uh, you know, when something like this~, or that, uh, like if you had any, um, you know, events~, and such, or something like that, uh, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s necessary for you to tell me?¡±
¡°¡±Events¡¡ what do you mean¡ what¡¯s that?¡±¡±
What¡¯s that¡¡ even though they look so clueless¡¡ huh? Are these guys really dating? No, are they more like an old married couple? I was expecting a more lovey-dovey, sugary love talk¡ events?
Well, when ites to ¡°events¡± between couples¡¡
¡°Um, so¡ the first time¡ y, you two¡ h, held hands¡ w, when was it¡?¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?¡±¡±
Damn, I¡¯m embarrassed to even say it! My face is so hot. Why am I the one feeling this awkward, trying to get my little brother and sister to talk about their love life?
Did Ie across as nervous and hesitant?
And then¡¡ Hmm?
¡°Big brother¡¡¡±
¡°Brother¡¡¡±
Espie and yer stood up at the same time.
And then there was a strange silence, and I held my breath, wondering what was going on. In the next moment, the two of them¡¡
¡°B, Big brother¡¡¡¡¡ so¡ cute¡ what is this!? Big brother is so cute! Cute! Big brother was red-faced and fidgety¡ he asked, ¡®When did we hold hands?¡¯!¡±
¡°He¡¯s strong and cool¡¡ and cute¡¡ cool and cute at the same time, Brother is invincible!?¡±
They got overly excited and unruly¡¡
¡°B, Big brother, I really want to hug you tight and pet you! Yesterday I got ap pillow, so today I want to pet you!¡±
¡°Hey, that¡¯s not fair, Espie! I want to pamper Brother as my younger brother!¡±
¡°S, stop, stop teasing me! You guys were talking about asking for permission to get married!?
¡°The marriage permission thing can wait~ just a bit longer¡¡. Yes, after we find Big brother¡¯s wife.¡±
¡°Well, us getting ahead of Brother¡¡ I mean, I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Ohe on, you¡¯re going to do it anyway, so just do it!¡±
¡°Not yet! I¡¯m still Big brother¡¯s little sister, and I want to be pampered!¡±
¡°I need to stay with you a while longer too, Brother.¡±
Yesterday, these two were being clingy and affectionate, and now they are aggressively hugging and clinging to me.
It was so embarrassing and humiliating that Tre¡¯ainar was grinning from ear to ear.
Damn¡¡ I never thought the day woulde when I would be having a love talk with Espie and yer, and end up being pampered by them¡¡
¡°But you know, Big brother¡¡.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
But then¡¡ Espie hugged me, looking a little serious¡¡
¡°If you already have someone you like and you can¡¯t think of other girls¡then you shouldn¡¯t show other girls your cool side¡¡ the side that would make the girls fall for you, okay?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
And not only Espie, but yer too¡¡
¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right¡¡ for example¡¡ well¡¡ you¡¯re going to meet a lot of people on the journey ahead, aren¡¯t you? E, especially, like where we¡¯re headed¡¡ even in the elf vige, there weren¡¯t any there a decade ago, but there are elves born after that who are about Brother¡¯s age¡¡
¡°¡¡ ah¡¡ is that so?¡±
For some reason, the two of them looked a little ufortable with the conversation, and with a wry smile on their faces, they turned to me¡ what are they trying to say?
¡°Well, you see, Big brother, if you meet a girl who falls for you, and you like her too, and you end up together, I¡¯ll totally support you, okay? But, you know, that¡¯s ¡¡ if she isn¡¯t chosen, then that girl will cry¡ well¡¡±
¡°Yeah, well¡¡ we think that¡¯s a shame too¡¡ that¡¯s why, Brother. It¡¯s one thing when you¡¯re with us, but I think you should avoid being too cool in front of girls you¡¯re not even interested in, as that might make them fall in love with you.¡±
¡°¡? ¡? ¡?¡±
I had no idea what they were worried about.
Doesn¡¯t that make me seem like some kind of irresistibledies¡¯ man who makes women fall for him one after another?
¡°No, there¡¯s no need for that¡¡ I¡¯ve never had a girlfriend before¡¡ no, I had Sadiz, and Phianse kept getting in the way¡¡ well, I received confessions from Kron and Shinobu¡¡ but there¡¯s no need to worry about that, right? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m so popr that I have a fan club, like Rebal or Fu.¡±
¡°¡±Umm~¡¡¡±¡±
Well, I don¡¯t know what they¡¯re so worried about, but it¡¯s not something that happens often, so there¡¯s nothing to worry about.

Chapter 360: On a High
¡°Eh? That Kron¡¡ a goddess that Jamdi¡¯el of the Six Supremacy was raising in Cacretale¡¡ Eh~, something like that¡¡¡±
¡°We had some information about Cacretale and Jamdi¡¯el from Norja, and also through Bethreal before Espie severed ties¡¡ but we never heard of that kid, Kron¡¡.¡±
¡°Eh? Is that so?¡±
¡°Un. There were rumors that Cacretale was connected to the Bockmati family¡¡ and that Hakuki was involved. But that¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t actively interfere¡¡ that kind of job was for Hiro and the others.¡±
¡°It seemed like a hassle to get involved, and we had heard in the past that the reunion with Brother took ce after going through Cacretale, and that was all we cared about¡¡±
¡°¡I see¡.¡±
¡°Hmm? But well~, from what you¡¯ve just said¡¡ that Kron¡¡ isn¡¯t human, but a demon? So, does that mean, Big brother¡¡ you have no problem with an interracial romance?¡±
¡°Oh, is that what you mean?¡±
¡°Huh? No, I don¡¯t have any prejudices or anything, and I wouldn¡¯t say no¡¡ and besides, Mr. Aka and I are friends and everything¡¡.¡±¡°Ah, I see¡ Hmm, in that case¡¡.¡±
¡°Then you¡¯re totally fine with elves too¡¡ which means¡¡ that girl will probably get even more hopeful now¡ and on top of that, if that monster little girl hears about this, she¡¯ll get even scarier¡¡.¡±
¡°No, seriously, what are you guys even worried about?¡±
The love talk between my younger sister and brother was so embarrassing that it made me writhe in agony.
It¡¯s especially embarrassing because, despite myck of experience, they were the ones doting on me.
On the other hand, perhaps because we all got so caught up in the love talk, I suddenly became curious about what they were up to.
What were Sadiz and Phianse doing?
Did they return to the Empire with Rebal and Fu?
Did they meet up with father or mother?
What is Shinobu doing?
Even if Sadiz and the others returned to the Empire, there would be no reason for Shinobu to follow them.
And if you think about it, the elven settlement we¡¯re heading to is in Japone.
Well, she¡¯s a runaway ninja? In the first ce, she fled the country with her brother andrades to be a Hunter, so there¡¯s no way we¡¯ll meet again in Japone, right?
What is Kron doing?
She is traveling the world with Jamdi¡¯el, Bro, and Hilua.
Where are they now and what are they doing by?
Hmm?
Speaking of Kron¡¡ that reminds me¡ ¡°that time¡±¡
Not just breakthroughs, zones, and radars, but if I could get into that state, the game of tag would be a little more¨D¨D¨D¨D
¡°yer, what do you think? Of Big brother today?¡±
¡°He¡¯s aiming for something, isn¡¯t he? He¡¯s not as gung-ho as he was yesterday.¡±
Just like yesterday, we were ying tag again today.
Espie and yer were fleeing at a distance in front of me.
They looked back many times to check my position, but today they looked back more often than yesterday.
They seemed very concerned about how I was doing.
¡°Hehe, they seem curious. Well, I guess they can¡¯t tell.¡±
¡°Indeed. The image they hold of you is but what you disyed in the past era. And the glimpses they took during the Imperial Match. They cannot possibly know of this.¡¯
Those two don¡¯t know what I¡¯m up to, and Tre¡¯ainar seems to think so.
Yes, I¡¯m trying something different than yesterday.
¡°He¡¯s not taking the bait¡¡.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no sign of a breakthrough to close the gap.¡±
¡°He¡¯s just chasing us as we run in front of him.¡±
¡°That¡¯s just running. It doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s trying to catch us.¡±
What I¡¯m trying to do now is to prepare to catch them.
¡°A Battle of Endurance¡¡ to think you would attempt to employ such a tactic¡¡ well, do experiment as you wish. Tis an element that will also prove useful in due course.¡±
Tre¡¯ainar won¡¯t say if this is the right answer.
He lets me figure it out for myself and then pushes me to give it a try.
¡°Even without Kron¡¯s power¡ I can do it on my own¡¡±
I was reminded of thisst night when the topic of Kron came up in the love talk.
¨D¨DEarth, you can do anything!
That¡¯s what Kron told me when we faced Vasr, the Dragon King of Hades.
At that time, the power of the Daybreak Eye was activated. ¡°Magic Eye Skill, ¡¾cebo Kiaida¡¿¡±.
The power of the brain¡¯s assumptions.
With unwavering confidence that I could do it, I was able to perform better than usual.
Combined with increased motivation, this eventually transformed fatigue and pain into pleasure.
¡°Magical Runner¡¯s High!¡±
What if I could reach that state on my own, without relying on Kron or using magic?
If I can get into a state where I don¡¯t feel tired, maybe I can surprise those two a little.
With that in mind, instead of trying to catch Espie and yer, like running drills, I focused on pushing myself to the limit.
Even though we had a love talk and stuff, they are now far away, under a different sky.
For now, I should be more concerned about improving myself, rather than worrying about love talk.
Author¡¯s Note
Some people are jumping ahead and adding elves that haven¡¯t even been introduced yet as heroines, but I don¡¯t understand that. Adding more heroines would only burden us, and it¡¯s not right to assume that an elf is a heroine just because she¡¯s beautiful, cute, innocent, naive, and has big, bouncy boobs¡
Well, as always, check out my new work. I posted it all in one go yesterday and finished the first arc.
¡°Revenge of the Master of Ultra Vibrations: Crushing All with the Demon Princess ¨C Make Humanity Tremble with /n6384gs/
I¡¯ve been ying around with the title a lot. There are a lot of different ones¡
However, today is thest time I will ask. It would be annoying to do it every day¡¡ I¡¯m sure you¡¯re already thinking it¡¯s annoying!
Special Shoutout to my Patrons. Thanks for the Overwhelming Support! Also, there is a new one-time payment option on Patreon, and I will be giving it a try for some chapters. So if you REALLY can¡¯t wait for the next release, you can read a chapter early that way. AGAIN THANKS!!!!

Chapter 361: Won’t Do Anything Cliché
Chapter 361: Won¡¯t Do Anything Clich¨¦
Chapter 361 ¨C Won¡¯t Do Anything Clich¨¦
¡°I can do it.¡±
I remember what Kron told me.
Back then, the power of the Daybreak Eye may have certainly been a factor.
But there was also power in her words.
I repeated those words over and over in my mind and muttered them out loud.
To think that I can do it. To believe.
To make my brain, my body, and every cell in my body think this way.
¡°I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!¡±
When I was running at Cacretale.
At that time, I even drained the water in my body to learn Magical Breathing.
I pushed my body and mind to the limit, saw the very sight of death, and almost lost my mind.
But I persevered.
What happened next?
I defeated Mr. Machio.
I faced Vasr and made him roar.
I fought the King of the Heavens, the Six Supremacy, and the Demon King Army¡¡
¡°I did all that¡¡ fought that much!¡±
By repeating that over and over in my mind, how much time had passed?
A few hours? If I included yesterday, even more?
But in any case¡¡
¡°¡¡ This is it!¡±
It¡¯s been a while since Ist ran, so it may have taken a little longer.
But this feeling¡¡
¡ºHow is it, child¡¡ are you starting to feel better?¡»
These days, I can enter the zone of extreme concentration at will.
At that time, the feeling I had was that I had ¡°gotten in¡±.
When I think about it, the current situation is a little different.
¡°It¡¯s rising¡¡
Even though I was tired, I felt more and more excited? Excited? I even felt fun, and somehow, I felt like I could do anything.
It¡¯s not like ¡°going in¡± the zone, it¡¯s more like ¡°rising up¡±.
¡ºEven without using Kron¡¯s eyes, the brain will secrete endorphins¡ thus you will reach a new state of mind.¡»
For Espie and yer, who ran nonstop ahead of me, keeping a good distance so they wouldn¡¯t lose sight of me, it must have been a tense time, not knowing what was going to happen next, so they might be a little worn out mentally too.
But like Tre¡¯ainar said, for me, this is where it starts.
¡°Hmm¡¡ Espie ¡¡¡±
¡°Un, Big brother¡¯s air has changed.¡±
¡°He¡¯s up to something.¡±
¡°Finally. Since yesterday, and for hours today too, he¡¯s just been running like that¡¡±
And it seemed yer and Espie sensed my air as well.
From the atmosphere, it was clear that their alertness was even higher.
¡°It¡¯s the same since yesterday. He didn¡¯t say anything at mealtime¡¡ it¡¯s not like he was getting desperate because he couldn¡¯t catch us no matter how hard he ran¡¡¡±
¡°I bet he¡¯s been working on it since yesterday¡¡ just like curry, the longer it¡¯s prepared the tastier it bes ?.¡±
¡°I agree. It seems like Brother has changed a bit in just the past few days since he defeated Gouda.¡±
¡°Hehe, so¡¡ will he look cool again?¡±
¡°I wonder. Now¡can you show me? Brother.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll prove ourselves to Big brother by surpassing him!¡±
yer and Espie were waiting for me to do something, saying, ¡°Come on.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, my all-grown-up little brother and sister!¡±
In this game of tag, if all they wanted to do was beat me, then no matter what I was nning, they should have just quickly distanced themselves until they were out of sight, either yesterday or today.
But the reason they don¡¯t do that was because it¡¯s a contest, and they want to focus on how they beat me.
It¡¯s not about winning by pushing away until you can¡¯t see me anymore.
Apparently, they knew that no matter what I did right now, I wouldn¡¯t be able to catch them, so they were deliberately waiting for me to do something so they could show off their strength.
That¡¯s why I was able to prepare it properly.
¡ºNow then, child. Even if you use a breakthrough here, there is still quite some distance to cover. Though you may sustain yourself with Magical Breathing, Espie¡¯s ability will hinder you the moment you are left defenseless due to that breathing technique. So, what will you do?¡»
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll chase them non-stop, at high speed to the ends of the world!¡±
¡ºWell then, on with the pursuit. Tis fine for now. The steady path is also a viable option.¡»
If I want to catch up, I have to do it during a single breakthrough.
But right now, even if I dash through my Breakthrough state, I won¡¯t be able to catch them.
¡°Anyway, this is all I can do right now. It¡¯s not like I can fly through the sky like Espie, or st off in one go¡¡¡±
That¡¯s right, I don¡¯t have any tricks that would allow me to go all out in one go.
That¡¯s why I had to steadily run, run, and run to catch up¡ or so I thought¡¡
¡°st¡¡ huh¡¡¡±
Maybe it was because of the Magical Runner¡¯s High and that I was convincing myself that I could do anything now, but even though I had intended to run steadily, something else came to mind.
That¡¯s how I can beat them in an instant¡¡
¡ºOoh ?.¡»
Tre¡¯ainar next to me reacted with a somewhat happy look on his face to what I had imagined in my head.
¡ºFuhahaha, so that is what you have thought up. Tis rather amusing, child.¡»
¡°¡¡ What do you think?¡±
¡ºMy goodness¡ the challenge of this training was to build stamina¡¡ yet through the attainment of Magical Runner¡¯s High, you have inadvertently grasped something unexpected¡. tis good!¡»
The greatest and most powerful technique I can use to blow away my enemies is always the Great Magic Spiral.
Sometimes it hits the target, and other times it blows them away with its shockwave.
I put all my strength into it, so much so that I could send my opponent flying.
So, what would happen if I were to be blown away by that force?
Tre¡¯ainar nodded at my thought.
¡°Uoooooh, ¡¾Great Magic Spiral¡¿!!¡±
¡°¡±Huh!?!¡±¡±
The two of them look stunned.
¡°It¡¯s finally here¡¡
¡°Un, un! It¡¯s Big brother¡¯s signature move¡ I saw it in the Graduation Match through the magic crystal¡¡±
¡°As I thought, seeing it in person like this¡¡±
¡°It brings me to tears ?¡±
They had nostalgic expressions, with narrowed eyes and slightly tearful.
This power was memorable for them.
¡°So, what is he going to do? Maybe attack?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be attacked, so he will destroy the path ahead of us and make it impassable¡¡ that¡¯s the cliche, right?¡±
¡°Then there¡¯s no problem.¡±
¡°Un. We already have ways to deal with that if that happens.¡±
There¡¯s no way I would use this technique on them.
That¡¯s why they suspect that what I¡¯m going to do is sabotage.
They¡¯re saying, ¡°It won¡¯t work if you use it like that¡±.
In reality, that is not the case.
And what I¡¯m going to do now is to use it in a way I¡¯ve never done before.
So, don¡¯t worry.
I won¡¯t do anything cliche.
¡ºOne word of advice, child. Instead of a simple spiral¡¡ try altering the shape of the spiral a bit.¡»
¡°Eh?¡±
At that moment, as I tried to send myself flying with the shockwave of the Great Magic Spiral, Tre¡¯ainar whispered something in my ear.
¡ºThe Great Demon Spiral is but one facet of the magic maniption, not its final form. Tis merely created in a spiral form through the maniption of magic power. Therefore, tis possible to create other shapes as well! In other words, you can create anything ording to the circumstances! In a violently swirling vortex¡¡. imagine the des of a windmill!¡»
¡°des?¡±
¡ºAs you are now, tis possible to ¡®change the form¡¯ of the Great Demon Spiral!¡»
As if to give further encouragement, he gave me the most reassuring words, ¡°You can do it now¡±.
Then I¡¯ll do it.
Originally, I was conscious of the Great Magic Spiral being in the shape of the gigantic Spiral.
After repeating this over and over again, I can now do it subconsciously.
This time, we will return to the basics. Shape it as I imagine¡¡
¡°Wh¡.. what!? Big Brother¡¯s spiral¡¡.¡±
¡°What¡¯s that? A windmill!?¡±
This was the first time they had seen my new Great Magic Spiral form.
They were surprised at my technique, which was different from what I had been using until yesterday¡¡
¡ºFufufu, how nostalgic. Though I have long ceased employing such mboyant techniques since gaining the ability to wield flight magic, a long time ago¡¡ when I yearned to soar freely through the skies, I once utilized this¡¡ the fusion technique of spiral and wing!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar also seemed nostalgic and somewhat amused¡¡
¡ºFly freely in the sky!!¡»
¡°Osu! ¡¾Great Demon Helicopter¡¿!!¡±
The explosive power of the Great Demon Spiral, the rotating vortex, and the des created were used as propulsion to push forward.
I flew with such force that it felt like I was being shot out of a cannon.
¡°Feh¡¡?¡±
¡°Wha¡¡?¡±
Ah¡¡
¡°Whoa, my, my eyes?! So, f, fast?!¡±
It was no longer ¡°flying¡± but more like ¡°sting off¡±.
The speed and force were so fast that I couldn¡¯t even open my eyes.
¡°Whoa, oh, ooooooooooooooooohh!!??¡±
¡°B, brother!?¡±
¡°Aaaaaaahh, B, Big brother?! No way, what is this!? Fast, tte, Big brother!?¡±
Anyway, all I knew was that I could hear the voices of Espie and yer, who should have been up ahead,ing from behind me.
In other words, rather than catching up with the two of them in that instant, I had actually overtaken them¡¡
¡ºHohou, excellent.¡»
¡°No, T, Tre¡¯ainar, wh, what should I do, a, about this?! No, cancel it?!¡±
¡ºWait, if you release it too soon, you will be violently thrown forth, or fall straight to the ground. If you want to stop, it must be done gradually, with a slow deceleration.¡»
¡°E, even if you say that!?¡±
And then I lost control of myself, and flew off into the distance at high speed¡¡
¡°Hey, Brother is gone!?¡±
¡°We have to hurry and catch up with him¡¡ Luckily, he¡¯s heading in the right direction, but it doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s going to stop!?¡±
¡°If we don¡¯t hurry, he¡¯ll end up crashing into a mountain!¡±
¡°Big brother, I¡¯ming for you!¡±
I couldn¡¯t even hear my younger sister and brother¡¯s voices as they frantically shouted after me from behind¡¡
I headed for the mountains beyond, where the trees were dense¡¡
¡°Fufu, I found it! The ¡®Pai Fruit¡¯ is perfectlyrge and sweetly ripened ?. I must return and swiftly prepare some sweet treats! While apple pie and lemon pie are delightful, nothingpares to this season¡¯s splendid Pai Pie¡ªit is the most delicious ?. Soon, brother and sister shall bring important guests to visit, and I must treat them to heaps of my prized Pai pie! ¡Ah, I must hurry back. If Father notices I have slipped beyond the barrier again, he shall surely scold me. Lately, I have heard that humans asionally trespass into this mountain without permission¡¡±
At that time, in the mountain I¡¯m flying to, in the direction of my progress¡¡
¡°Eh? Kyaah, such fierce winds?! What is happening? Something is¡ something is flying¡ eh?¡±
I hadn¡¯t yet noticed a lone elf scampering around.
Chapter 362: It Was All Cliche Watermelons and a White Triangular Shape
¡ºGradually slow the rotation of the Great Magic Spiral! In addition to changing its form, the rotation speed can be controlled as well!¡»
Tre¡¯ainar yelled as I flew straight ahead at high speed.
Slow down the rotation. I¡¯d never done that before.
I mean, I had never thought to adjust the rotation of the Great Magic Spiral, which I spun and mmed with all my might.
¡°Stooooooooop¡¡!!¡±
The air current that prevented me from even opening my eyes gradually weakened, and I finally opened my eyes amidst the violent sound.
And then¡¡
¡°O, owaah!?¡±
¡ºAssume a defensive stance!¡»The sky!? A forest in front of me! A mountain? I don¡¯t know what it is, but I¡¯m going to collide with it.
¡°Wh, what the?!¡±
A Breakthroughnding? Defense? Impossible, I¡¯m out of magic. This is no time for Magical Breathing.
I frantically raised both hands to defend my body and crashed into the trees that were right in front of me.
¡°Ugh!¡±
¡ºOnly defend your head! Fear not! The pain will be minimal!¡»
¡°Guo, da, odo!?¡±
I violently went through the trees, hit the ground with great force, and bounced on the ground again and again¡¡
¡°What? That sound just now¡ who goes there?¡±
¡°¡¡ he?¡±
¡ºOh¡¡?¡»
At that moment, even Tre¡¯ainar was surprised.
I barely managed to open my eyes and saw a figure in a green outfit¡¡ a fairy? A Goddess? No, it¡¯s a woman!
A woman with long beige hair. A somewhat short green dress? She¡¯s wearing ¡¡
¡°Eh? Eeeh? Eh??¡±
¡°L, look out!¡±
This was dangerous. I was about to bump into her.
A cute, beauty, holding two watermelons?
Anyway, there¡¯s nothing I can do about it now, I¡¯m in a head-on collision with this woman¡¡
¨D¨DBoyin ?
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°Fu, nngh!?¡±
Did I hit something very soft that cushioned the impact?
I was repelled, the force weakened, and then I just fell forward¡¡
¨D¨DMogyu ? Mogyu ?
¡°Ah, ahn¡ eh!?¡±
¡°?¡±
As I was about to fall, both my hands grabbed something. What was this feeling, on the left and right?
¨D¨DGaba, Mozo, Buchu ?
¡°Nghii?!¡±
¡°Moga?!¡±
Is my face plunged somewhere? What is this? Warmth? Where are my lips and face touching? What is that soft, warm sensation on both sides of my body? A peculiar aroma¨D¨D¨D
¡°This is, to, to¡ eh? Eh? Eeeeeh!?¡±
¡°Mogamoga?¡±
¡°Nh, wait, no, angh¡¡ eh, eeh!?¡±
I can¡¯t breathe. The ground? No, I feel something kind of weird. Is it like a warm cloth or something on my lips?
¡º¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ tis no fault of mine, just so you know?¡»
Tre¡¯ainar muttered something.
I don¡¯t know. But my body moved.
My joints hurt, but I can still move¡¡
¡°U, um¡¡ erm!?¡±
Someone¡¯s voice?! A woman¡¯s voice, so sweet and lovely¡¡ Oh, I see!
¡°Phua, th, that¡¯s right, I bumped into someone¡huh?¡±
¡°Ugh¡ uuuuuugh!¡±
When I looked up, right in front of me were the girl¡¯s smooth, healthy-looking white thighs and a white triangr shape.
I see¡ so I had my face stuck on this shape?
¡°Y, your hands, um¡¡.¡±
¡°Eh? Ah¡cute¡ah, no¡¡.¡±
I raised my head further and in front of me was a fairy with a red face and teary eyes, exuding beauty and cuteness.
I was surprised by her beautiful expression and without thinking, I unconsciously said, ¡°cute¡±.
Pointy ears? An Elf?
A woman with long beige hair and wearing a short green one-piece dress that exposed her shoulders and thighs.
She had two watermelons under her clothes¡¡ that¡¯s right¡ watermelons¡ watermelons can¡¯t be that soft.
¡°Wh, where are you touching!?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
I had grabbed those two soft watermelons.
But that can¡¯t be right! Because such a thing can¡¯t exist in this world.
Still, they¡¯re much bigger ¡¡ than ¡¡ Sadiz¡¯s¡¡
Calm down. Anyway, as I was being thrown to the ground, I happened to collide with a cute elf girl who was walking through the forest or mountains.
In the process, my face got stuck on the triangr shape(Panties) under the skirt of the girl¡¯s dress and¡¡ got my hands on two watermelons.
¡°Nuwaaaaaaaaaahh?!?!¡±
¡°Hya!?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m so sorry! No, really, I didn¡¯t mean to do that! I¡¯m so sorry! I¡¯m so sorry!¡±
¡°Hi!?¡±
In a rush, I stepped back, kneeled down, and mmed my forehead into the ground repeatedly.
What did I bump into? What did I grab? Where did I stick my face in and put my lips on? Where!? What!? Whose!?
¡°Ah, you¡¯re¡ human?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! No, I¡¯m really sorry for doing something really awful! But, please¡ please forgive me! I definitely didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡±
¡°Human¡¡ eh, humaaaan!¡±
¡°Heh?¡±
At that moment, while I was kneeling, the woman quickly stood up, moved away from me, and took a stance against me.
Her gaze and mood seemed a little different from those directed at the lewd molesting pervert¡¡
¡°Wh, who are you? This is privatend! What brings you here, trespassing unbidden? What is your purpose?¡±
Ah, I see. Hostility towards trespassers¡¡ on privatend? Elf?
¡°Is this, by any chance, the mountain where ¡¡ the elf settlement is located?¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
Then the girl¡¯s eyes became even sharper.
It¡¯s not so much that she¡¯s shaking ¡¡ as she¡¯s bracing herself and even her slightest movement makes them go boing bloing bloing!
No, I can¡¯t think straight.
¡°Ah, are you an evil human? Mayhap one of those wicked hunters who have been searching for us near thesends ofte!?¡±
¡°N, no, I¡¯m not¡ª!¡±
¡°Th, then begone at once! There is nothing here! No one dwells here!¡±
This is bad. She¡¯s totally misunderstanding the situation.
This is not the time for watermelons. That¡¯s right, I ended up with my face under this girl¡¯s skirt, pressed against her white underwear¡¡ that¡¯s not what I meant at all!
¡ºChild, calm down¡¡ Be cool.¡»
That¡¯s right, be cool, calm and collected and I put my mouth on the girl¡¯s precious spot, not that!
¡°W, well, I am a fearsome and wicked elf!¡±
¡°Eh? Eeeh?¡±
While I was panicking, the girl red at me and said that.
And¡¡
¡°Should you remain silent and not take your leave at once¡¡ I shall drench you in honey and make a delectable treat of you!!¡±
The elven girl with her arms outstretched and showing a menacing pose with ¡°Fusha¡±.
¡°So, begone!¡±
How can you eat me?
How am I gonna get eaten?
Can you eat me, smeared with honey?
¡ºOi,pose yourself¡¡ how will you face your little sister and brother?¡»
¡°Huh!?¡±
As I was confused, Tre¡¯ainar whispered in my ear in an exasperated tone, and I suddenly calmed down.
¨D¨DBrother is like this¡¡ I can¡¯t believe he was such a lecher.
¨D¨DHaa¡ I¡¯m kind of disappointed¡ Big brother¡¡
¡°Huh!? Only that ¡¡.¡±
That¡¯s the one thing they must never say. If they did, I will never be right again.
¡°Really¡¡ I¡¯m sorry. You might not believe me, but¡ I¡¯m really not a suspicious guy.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve calmed down.
Anyway, I calmly bowed my head again.
¡°That was an ident¡¡ I was just practicing a new technique¡¡
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡°But I swear I¡¯m not an enemy of the elves, and would never harm them.¡±
¡°¡¡ Ji~¡¡¡±
¡°Um ¡¡.¡±
Then, perhaps believing my words a little, the girl came a little closer to me, peered down at my face, and stared at me intently.
With jittery eyes and puffed out cheeks¡¡
¡°Truly~? Even with such a fearsome gaze?¡±
¡°R, really. Give me a break with the staring.¡±
¡°Mmm~¡¡ Ji¡¡ Ji¡¡ Ji~~~~~~~~~¡±
The girl was staring at me intently. But her vignce was only natural, so I just let it be.
But the girl giggled after a while and¡¡
¡°Such a fearsome gaze¡ yet, what is this? Your eyes are gleaming with fervor.¡±
¡°¡¡ What?¡±
¡°Indeed, they radiate an extraordinary vigor, as if proiming, ¡®I am alive~, and I shall prevail~¡¯.¡±
I didn¡¯t really get what she was saying.
I mean, it¡¯s not normal to be told that.
It¡¯s just¡¡
¡°Hm~hmm, yes. You may not be an evil human after all. Though, you do seem like a rather lewd young man.¡±
¡°Hah¡¡ Haha.¡±
For the time being, I think she understood.
So I also breathed a sigh of relief.
In a ce a little away from us¡¡
¡°Kukuku, I found it! I finally found it, an elf! And it¡¯s top quality.¡±
¡°Hehehe, that¡¯s true. That will sell for a high price.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s grab it right away¡ then we¡¯ll make it spill the location of its vige¡¡±
¡°You idiot. First¡ hehehe, look at that irresistible body. We have to taste it first¡¡ to heaven!¡±
The group, like beasts holding their breath, also resembled hunters¡
¡°Hmm? Who¡¯s that right next to it? Is that a human?¡±
¡°Did another hunter beat us to it?¡±
¡°Hey, hey, if that happens, we won¡¯t get any reward from ¡®Master Shitnei¡¯, you know?¡±
¡°What¡¯s it matter? We can just steal it from them! Besides, look at him. He¡¯s just a brat.¡±
Holding their breath with their desiresid bare¡¡
I was about to break the very advice that Espie and yer had given me, ¡°Don¡¯t do it¡±, and ¡°You should hold back as much as possible¡±.
And then, they would call me out on it¡¡
Why, of all things, would it be something so clich¨¦? Gah.
Author¡¯s Note
That¡¯s not the case. I mean, did they y tag just so that I could meet this girl when Espie and yer weren¡¯t around? Stamina? Yes, stamina is important.
Also, the ¡°Pai fruit¡± mentioned in the previous chapter is a fruit that can be harvested in a specific season in Japone. The elves seem to specialize in making a dessert called ¡°Pie of Pie,¡± ormonly known as ¡°Pai Pie,¡± using this fruit to make pies. There is no deeper meaning to it, I just wanted to bring out some original fruit and sweets. Don¡¯t read too deeply.- Twitter

Chapter 363: Don’t Say Anything
¡°My name is Amicus. And yours?¡±
¡°Earth. That¡¯s my name. Nice to meet you.¡±
¡°Yes, well met, Earth!¡±
The mishap I had caused and the hostility directed at me all disappeared, and the elf named Amicus looked at me with a pure, smiling face.
She didn¡¯t seem to be very wary and just stared at me carefully, observing me.
¡°Are you a rather youthful one?¡±
¡°Hmm? Ah, I¡¯m 15, but ¡¡.¡±
¡°Truly?! The same as I? We are of the same age!¡±
¡°Eh? Oh, is that so?¡±¡°Yes!¡±
Saying that, Amicus happily grabbed my hand and shook it up and down. Swaying vertically¡¡ it¡¯s nothing, just forget about it.
¡¡ Huh? So we¡¯re the same age!?
¡°I have never met a human of my own age before this. Brother and sister, even when I secretly wander to the vige at the foot of the hill, I have had no dealings with one of my own years¡¡.¡±
¡°I see¡¡ Hmm? Brother? Sister?¡±
¡°Yes! Though they¡¯re human, I have an older brother and sister who have always yed with me since times long past. So, if you try anything unbing to me, brother and sister, who are exceedingly strong, shall not remain silent! I, too, am strong, though ?.¡±
This elf girl. She must be an elf from the settlement we were heading for. If she¡¯s the same age as me, that means she was born after the war.
And then, ¡°human brother and sister who are really strong¡±¡
¡°Do you mean yer and Espie?¡±
¡°Huh?! Eh?! Why?! How do you know of that, Earth?¡±
When he mentioned their names, Amicus looked surprised. I thought so¡¡
¡°I¡¯m like family to those two.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°And today, I was heading to the elven settlement with them. On the way we were ying tag and I tried a new technique and we got separated¡¡ I see¡¡¡±
¡°Then the special guest brother and sister said they were bringing soon¡ that was you, Earth! Well, well! But¡ what do you mean by ¡®family¡¯?¡±
¡°Haha, well, it¡¯s a bit of aplicated situation¡ I¡¯ll tell you when we meet up with those two.¡±
¡°Wow, incredible! I see, that¡¯s right~!¡±
After learning that I was their family, Amicus seemed relieved, smiled, and took my hand.
¡°Then there¡¯s no problem, is there? I¡¯ll guide you to our settlement, ¡®Tapil Bael¡¯!¡±
¡°Bubo!?¡±
¡°Hey Earth? What ails you? Are you well?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m just a little surprised¡¡ I mean, why such a name?¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but gush at the unexpected and surprising name.
¡°Eh, ah, yes¡¡ it seems, before I was born, Father and the others lived elsewhere. But then, terrifying folk attacked the ce and they couldn¡¯t live there anymore, so at that time, there was a person who saved the elves, and not only that, but also provided gold and a newnd. In gratitude, they named our settlement after that benefactor, or so I¡¯ve been told.¡±
¡°He, heh~¡¡¡±
Is that about me? No, it was to show gratitude, but why that name?
Then, Tre¡¯ainar wasughing beside me.
¡ºHehehe¡ I suppose they could not just name the settlement Earth Lagann after all¡¡»
¡°Ah¡¡ Well¡¡
¡ºBesides, the funding was provided under that pseudonym¡¡¡»
I see. But, I didn¡¯t know something like this would happen.
I never thought the name on the fake ID that Paripi had prepared for me would be used as the name of the elven settlement¡¡
¡°That¡¯s why, you see, Brother, Sister, and even the great benefactor Tapil Bael himself, are all humans¡¡ So, though I know there are evil and frightening humans, I also understand that not all of them are like that. When I looked into your eyes, I thought, ¡®He should be fine¡¯.¡±
¡°I, I see¡¡
¡°So, Earth, if you¡¯re the guest they spoke of, I¡¯ll do my very best to wee you properly ?.¡±
I¡¯m Tapil Bael¡¡ I was about to blurt that out, but to exin it, I would have to exin that I went to a past era or something like that, and that would be such a pain, so I decided to keep quiet for now.
¡°Ufufufu, but we must keep it a secret, right? About you touching my body¡ªFather, Mother, Brother, and Sister must never know. They¡¯d be quite furious if they did ?.¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯d really appreciate that! Please don¡¯t tell yer or Espie!¡±
¡°Hmm~, what-should-I-do ~?¡±
¡°A, Amicus?¡±
¡°Fufufu, alright, I¡¯ll stay silent. But in return, you must be my friend.¡±
¡°Eh? Ah, well, if that¡¯s okay with you.¡±
¡°Yay?, I¡¯ve made a new friend ~!¡±
Saying that, Amicus squeezed my hand happily.
Is it really that exciting to just be friends¡¡ In any case, it was worth it if she could just keep quiet about what had happened earlier.
¡°If we¡¯re just friends, it should be fine. All four of them are quite overprotective, you see.¡±
¡°Overprotective?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Whenever I talk to a boy, they immediately start asking, ¡®What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡¯ or ¡®Do you like him?¡¯ It¡¯s so frustrating?''¡±
¡°Hmm, overprotective huh¡¡ ¡°
Amicus¡¯ parents? I don¡¯t know who they are, but do they remember me?
Well, the only ones I¡¯ve had any contact with in that vige were Mr. Chieftain and his wife.
¡°Really, so overprotective. The boys in the vige are all just like friends or brothers to me. I have my own ¡®type¡¯ that I like, so I wouldn¡¯t fall for someone who doesn¡¯t match that. But when I tell them that, all four of them just make this troubled face, you know?¡±
¡°He, heh~, I see¡ even Espie and yer¡¡.¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Oh, Earth, is there a maiden you like~?¡±
¡°Eh? Uh, uh¡ that¡¯s sudden¡¡.¡±
As soon as we became friends, we suddenly started having a love talk.
Come to think of it, Espie and yer have also been talking about love, so is it a trend?
Amicus¡¯ eyes were sparkling with joy as well¡¡ a girl I like, huh¡¡ when the topices up, the ones thate to mind are Kron, Shinobu, and Sadiz, and then¡ one way or another, she said she liked me¡ Phi¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡°My type hasn¡¯t changed since my early days.¡±
¡°Is that so? But¡¡ all the boys in the vige are friends¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡ that is so.¡±
When I asked a simple question, Amicus gave a bitter smile and a slightly sad look on her face.
¡°You see, I have always thought, ¡®This is the sort of boy I desire¡¯, and if he is not of that sort¡ though such a person does not exist, yet still, I¡¡.¡±
¡°Does not exist? Huh?¡±
I didn¡¯t know what she was talking about. But it seemed like something important, and Amicus looked like she wasn¡¯t joking¡¡
¡ºHmm? Child!¡»
It was then.
¡°Amicus!¡±
¡°Huh? What? Hey, Earth, wh, huh? Hey, where are you touching, huh, huh! What are you doing¡ huh?¡±
Suddenly I sensed a presence. I reacted instantly to Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s words.
I took Amicus in my arms, and jumped from the spot.
Then, several arrows struck the ground where we were standing.
¡°Hohoho. You dodged that one now¡¡ he¡¯s a pretty smart kid, ain¡¯t you?¡±
When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man with a mischievous smile holding a bow and arrow from the top of a tree in the forest.
¡°Eh? What? Who is it? Earth¡¡¡±
¡°¡¡ These guys ¡¡.¡±
While holding Amicus, who had an anxious look on her face, I met the man who appeared¡¡
¡°There are three more.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
I checked the surroundings with the radar. Other people were hiding in the woods and behind the trees, aiming at us.
¡°Oh, you noticed?¡±
When I said that, the guy with the bow and arrow at the readyughed like he was impressed, and then¡¡
¡°He¡¯s not just some brat.¡±
¡°You¡¯re good, boy.¡±
¡°But when you met us, you ran out of luck.¡±
Armed with swords, spears, and hammers, was a group of four middle-aged men who didn¡¯t look like they were any good at all.
Their purpose is ¡¡
¡°Kiddo, if you want to live, hand that elven girl to us!¡±
That¡¯s right.
And in my arms, Amicus shuddered¡¡
¡°Oh, you are the ones! The humans who have been wandering about this mountain ofte! Begone! If you do not depart, I shall turn you into sweets!¡±
Amicus red at them in disgust.
But, the menughed rather happily at her re.
¡°Guhehehe, that¡¯s good, you¡¯re so feisty, it¡¯s irresistible!¡±
¡°Such an exquisite body, and yet such a loud roar! I¡¯d love to have a taste!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t wait to have my way with you! Hey, we don¡¯t have to sell it, we can keep it for ourselves, right? Don¡¯t you think?¡±
¡°You idiot. First, we¡¯ll make it tell us where the settlement is, then we eat.¡±
Amicus shuddered with horror.
At the drooling scumbags who were sniggering with sickening smiles on their faces.
Huh¡¡
¡°Geez, between the ogres and you guys, people just keep bothering the peaceful elves. It¡¯s because of people like you that both humans and ogres get a bad reputation.¡±
It¡¯s the same as in the past.
¡°What?¡±
¡°Earth¡¡?¡±
The Ogre Squad of the Demon King Army¡¡ and today, these guys¡¡
¡°Hey, kid. I¡¯ll say it again. If you hand over the girl, I¡¯ll spare you your life¨D¨D¨D¨D¨D.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous. This is someone my family seems to care about. And above all¡¡ she¡¯s my new friend. What¡¯s wrong with risking my life?¡±
¡°Wh, what?¡±
Well, I guess there¡¯s no other way. It seems these guys are hunters, so I could take the Amicus and run away, but if they¡¯re wandering around looking for the settlement, I¡¯ll have to make sure they endure a bit of pain before sending them home.
¡°U, um Earth¡¡ um ¡¡.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say anything, Amicus.¡±
¡°¡¡ Huh?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get this done in no time.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ eh¡ ah¡ ahh¡¡±
I smiled, trying to reassure the trembling Amicus.
Then, in response to my words, Amicus stared nkly, looking a bit blushed.
And¡¡
¡°Hah! What a cheeky brat! We¡¯re in the mountains, so if we bury the body somewhere nearby no one will find out¡¡ that¡¯s why we won¡¯t show you any mercy! We¡¯re going to show you the power of professional hunters! We¡¯ll tell you our names as a gift on your way to the afterlife!¡±
Professional hunters. Saying this, the men roared¡¡
¡°The name¡¯s Koino!¡±
¡°I¡¯m Kyupie!¡±
¡°My name is Tenpure!¡±
¡°Call me Ebento!¡±
One after another, they announced themselves and attacked us all at once.
The way they carry themselves, with coordinated movements that leave no gaps in their formation, is quite impressive.
¡ºHmm¡¡ well, do not let your guard down, child. After all, the opponents are professionals. That being said¡¡»
Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s advice. I certainly can¡¯t afford to let my guard down.
I have Amicus here after all.
In addition, they¡¯re surrounding and attacking from all sides at the same time¡¡ well, that¡¯s fine¡¡
¡°Then I¡¯ll finish it with one shot!¡±
I won¡¯t let my guard down, and as promised, I¡¯ll finish it in an instant.
With that technique.
That¡¯s easy, right?

Chapter 364: Everything is Connected
Chapter 364 ¨C Everything is Connected
¡°Beware, no! Earth, you flee! I shall¨D¨D¨D¡±
The Hunters attack all at once.
A frightened Amicus cried out in a panic in my arms, but there¡¯s nothing to worry about.
It¡¯ll all be over in an instant.
¡°Hold on to me so I don¡¯t get blown away!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
I freed one arm and lowered both of Amicus¡¯ legs, which I had held in a princess carry, to the ground.
But my left arm was still around Amicus¡¯ shoulder to keep her from being blown away.
Then I raised my right arm¡¡
¡°And now, you bastards, fly to the ends of the world! Great Magic Spiral!¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡¡ Huh?¡±
Raising my right arm to the sky, I created a spiral vortex that blew everything away.
¡°Whaaat?!¡±
¡°Gyaaah!?¡±
¡°Whoa!?¡±
¡°Nuwaaagh?!¡±
The four men were sucked into the vortex and sent flying sky-high.
Then, when the rotation was stopped at a random point, the airborne men fell to the ground in a battered state.
Theyy there twitching and convulsing. I don¡¯t think they can get up and fight anymore.
But, the trees in the forest were also violently knocked down, leaving the forest in a deste state, and it felt like I was destroying the environment quite a bit, so I¡¯ll apologize to Mr. Chieftainter¡¡
¡°Ah¡¡ Earth¡¡¡±
¡°Hey, are you okay?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
Amicus, who was in my arms, looked stunned with a nk expression.
¡°Hmm? Amicus, your face is red. Do you have a fever?¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡¡±
¡ºOh. To hear the child finally utter those words¡¡¡»
I guess I startled her too much.
Wait, why does Tre¡¯ainar look so annoyed? What¡¯s going on?
¡°For now, you don¡¯t have to worry anymore. I¡¯ll deal with themter. When yer¡.¡±
¡°¡¡ How ¡¡?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°How is it¡¡ that Earth¡¡ used that technique?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Technique? How? You mean the Great Magic Spiral? Why¡¡ No, no, on the contrary¡¡
¡°No wait, Amicus, do you know about the Great Magic Spiral?
¡°Huh!? It can¡¯t be¡ that truly was¡¡ the Great Magic Spiral? But how!? Earth, how can you wield such a technique!? Why!¡±
¡°Eh? No¡.. I mean¡why¡¡
Amicus approached me, looking extremely surprised. Wait, don¡¯t press your body against me, it¡¯s soft, no stay focused.
¡°Gu, no, way¡¡ y, you got us¡¡ in no time ¡¡.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°You¡¯re no, ordinary¡¡ brat¡ who the hell!¡±
At that moment, one of the Hunters, though still too battered to stand, just barely managed to regain consciousness and red at me.
I answered his question¡¡
¡°My name is Earth. Earth Lagann. I am a man who aims for the world. Remember that.¡±
¡°¡¡ What ¡¡?¡±
¡°Eehh!??
When I said that, the man¡¯s eyes widened and Amicus ¡¡ why is Amicus surprised? I introduced myself, didn¡¯t I?
¡°Earth Lagann¡¡ So? Then, uh¡ you¡¯re¡¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t be¡ you¡¯re¡ the one ¡®Master Shitnei¡¯¡ was looking for¡¡.¡±
¡°Huh? Shitnei? Who¡¯s that?¡±
¡°Gaku¡±
¡°Hey! Don¡¯t say something troubling and just pass out!¡±
The manpletely fainted. He seemed really surprised when he heard my name, but I¡¯m not that famous, am I?
No, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done much that would be known publicly¡¡
¡°Traina. Do you know who this Shitnei is?¡±
¡ºI do not. Well, perhaps strange rumors of you are abound as the runaway son of the Hero, Hiro.¡»
¡°Huh?¡±
Sure, he might have reacted to the name ¡°Lagann.¡±
Ah, then Amicus too¡¡
¡°Lagann¡¡ Ragaan¡¡ Man¡¡¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°¡¡ Ragaan-man ¡¡¡±
¡°Eh!?¡±
No way, an unexpected name jumped out of Amicus¡¯ mouth.
Not only the Great Magic Spiral, but also why that name?
¡°Ragaan-man¡¡ and The Great Magic Spiral¡¡ Earth, what in the world¡¡ what is happening?!¡±
¡°That¡¯s my line. How do you know that name? Did yer or Espie tell you?¡±
¡°Why? Because, because, the Hero Ragaan-man¡ exists in a novel penned by my father, a tale known only in our vige!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
What? Ragaan-man? Hero? A novel?
¡°Ragaan-man¡¡ is in, a novel?¡±
¡°My father, a writer, penned that novel over ten years ago! It¡¯s called ¡®The Adventures of Ragaan-man¡¯! The Great Magic Spiral is the signature technique of the hero, Ragaan-man! That tale exists only within our vige¡ so how did you know of it, Earth? Did you learn it from older brother or sister?¡±
A novel about Ragaan-man? No, that¡¯s¡ eh? It¡¯s about me? A novel about me?
No, no, more importantly¡¡
¡ºPukukuku, The Adventures of Ragaan-man¡¡ Kukuku ¡¡¡»
¡°Hey, this is noughing matter, Tre¡¯ainar. More importantly, this¡¡±
¡ºAh, from what we have just heard¡¡ Hehehe, this girl¡¡ is the Chieftain¡¯s ¡¡¡»
¡°That¡¯s it!¡±
There was only one elf who wrote novels. I got excited.
¡°Hey, Amicus, you don¡¯t mean to tell me you¡¯re the daughter of the chieftain!?¡±
¡°Eh¡ Uh, yes¡ that¡¯s true but¡¡.¡±
¡ºKuhahahaha, I see, I see! The chieftain¡¯s daughter! What a coincidence!¡»
¡°Huh? Oh, huh? Huh?¡±
I never thought Amicus¡¯ father was that chieftain. And what¡¯s more, he wrote a novel about me. It¡¯s kind of embarrassing.
Even so¡¡
¡°Hey, let me take a good look at your face.¡±
¡°Huh?!¡±
¡°Hm~¡¡¡±
¡°Oh, Earth!?¡±
¨D¨DDokin ? Dokin ? Dokin ?
I take another close look at Amicus¡¯ face.
¡°She doesn¡¯t look much like Mr. Chieftain¡¡ maybe she takes more after his wife?¡±
¡°Um, well, ah, Earth¡¡¡±
¨D¨DDododododododododododododo!!!
Even so, where did she get such breasts when that wife was¡¡ no, I mean¡¡
¡°Ah, um, Earth¡ y, you¡¯re a little close.¡±
¡°Oh, sorry.¡±
¡°N, no, it¡¯s¡¡ it¡¯s fine¡¡ More than that, do you also know of my father and mother?¡±
¡°Well, sort of.¡±
In any case, I see¡¡ for me, it all happened just the other day, but it was such a long time ago that the child of Mr. Chieftain and his wife, who wasn¡¯t even born back then, was now the same age as me, and could meet like this, as was the case with Espie and yer.
¡°I¡¯ll exinter. But¡ it¡¯s strange, but I¡¯m d to meet you. Amicus¡±
¡°Eeehhh!!???
¨D¨DZukyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ???
¡ºOh, child¡¡ you¡¡ just now.¡»
The past of more than ten years ago was now connected to the present.
If the ogres had wiped out the elves back then, none of this would have happened.
What I¡¯ve done, and what Aonii risked his life for, it all had meaning¡¡
¡°Biiig brotheeeeerr!!¡±
¡°Brooootheeeeerr!!¡±
At that moment, two people came running from the distance, kicking up dust and calling for me.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s Espie and yer.¡±
¡°Po~¡¡ Earth¡¡ ?¡±
¡°Hey, over here!¡±
I raised my hand and called out to them. The moment they saw my face, their expressions changed to relief¡¡
¡°I did it! I found Big brother! He¡¯s safe! But the trees seem to be in a terrible state, why?¡±
¡°Brother, what the hell is going on¡¡ Hmm? Hey, Espie, is there someone with Brother.¡±
¡°Un¡¡ that¡¯s ¡¡.¡±
¡°Huh? ¡is that¡Amicus!?¡±
¡°Eh? Why are you and Big brother together¡¡ Whew!?¡±
¡°Brother and Amicus together!?¡±
¡°Why? A coincidence? Don¡¯t tell me Amicus went outside of the barrier without a word¡¡?¡±
Huh? What is it? The two of them suddenly got really flustered¡ and their faces turned blue?
Why?
¡º¡¡ Hmm¡¡ Daughter of the chieftain¡¡ Ragaan-man¡¡ A longing for one who does not exist¡¡ That look on Espie and yer¡¡ Ah! That is what they meant! Everything is connected.¡»
And for some reason, only Tre¡¯ainar beside me seemed to understand and pped his hands.
¡°I, it¡¯s okay, right? Even though it¡¯s Big brother, it¡¯s still okay, right! They just met, right?¡±
¡°O, of course! It hasn¡¯t even been an hour since he left us, so it should still be fine!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right¡¡ Ah~, if I had known it would end up like this, I should have just said it outright instead of saying it in a roundabout way ¡¡¡±
¡°Anyway, before it¡¯s toote!¡±
¡°Biiig brotheeer!!¡±
¡°Brootheeeer!!¡±
They turned pale, then got relieved, then anxious, then turned pale again¡what is going on?
But, the voices of my sister and brother shouting loudly drowned out the words¡¡
¡ºI see¡ It would be a painful experience¡ the flow of time between humans and elves¡ their lifespans¡ they cannot be together forever¡¡»
That Tre¡¯ainar muttered to himself at that time¡¡
¡ºTheir time together may be short¡¡¡..¡»
I couldn¡¯t hear it.
Chapter 365: Such a Convenient Thing……
¡°I see~, So basically, Big Brother crashed into this mountain with a new technique, and at that time, happened to meet Amicus, who happened to be passing by, and you became friends, and then, you happened to run into some bad Hunters, and carried Amicus like a princess, hugging her shoulder to protect her, and finally¡¡ used the Great Magic Spiral and boom¡¡ was that right?¡±
¡°O, oh.¡±
Espie had a huge smile on her face. But this smile wasn¡¯t the Espie smile I know.
I don¡¯t know¡¡ it reminds me of the way Sadiz smiles when she¡¯s really angry¡¡
¡°Say, brother¡¡ who is this Earth? Why do brother and sister, who are elder, refer to him as ¡®big brother¡¯? Why does he speak of the Great Demon Spiral and Ragaan-man¡¡ what could it all mean? ¡¡ he¡¯s so gant¡¡ but¡ surely, he must already have a lover, right? He must, doesn¡¯t he¡¡±
¡°Ah~, anyway, that was a bit scary, I¡¯m d you¡¯re safe, Amicus¡¡ safe¡¡ I wonder if she¡¯s safe? Can we call this ¡®safe¡¯ ¡¡? Hm~hmm¡±
¡°In any case, I do wish to talk on various topics anon~¡¡ what is sister speaking of? Must we truly wait until we return to the settlement to learn more~?¡±
And a little farther away, Amicus was whispering to yer. yer was smiling wryly as he patted Amicus¡¯ head in a friendly way¡¡ what?
¡°Hah~~¡¡ Big brother¡¡¡±Espie, who had been smiling, held her head and sighed. Sigh? Espie to me?
¡°I already know you¡¯re cool, Big brother¡ but¡¡.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°That was a bit careless.¡±
¡°W, what?¡±
I never thought that the word ¡°careless¡± woulde out of Espie, who was always ¡°blowing things away¡± as a kid¡¡ you¡¯ve grown¡¡ Espie.
No, that¡¯s not it, what do you mean?
¡°Well, now that it¡¯se to this ¡ un, Big brother,e here for a bit.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
And Espie pulled me a little further away from yer and Amicus.
I wondered what was going on, but she pulled me closer and whispered in my ear¡¡
¡°You know, Big brother¡¡ Ragaan-man is like an idol to Amicus.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
It was so sudden that I had to seriously ask her to repeat it.
What?
¡°H, hey, Espie¡¡ what¡¡ that? I mean, Ragaan-man? Is that me?¡±
¡°Un, you know, after Big brother returned to the future¡¡ Mr. Chieftain ¡¡¡±
¡°Yeah, I heard from Amicus, that Mr. Chieftain wrote a novel about me¡¡
¡°That¡¯s right~ . So, Amicus really loves that novel¡¡ and the main character, Ragaan-man¡¡ In other words, Big brother is Amicus¡¯ ideal man~¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡ Huh!?¡±
Involuntarily, I turned to look at Amicus.
She seemed excited as she was asking yer a lot of questions¡¡ just by shaking her body to ask questions, they start to jiggle boing boing¡¡ her ideal man is me?
¡°Hmm¡¡ I¡¯m not sure if I should be happy or embarrassed about this¡¡ well, after all, an ideal is an ideal¡¡ and when ites to novels, they¡¯re pretty much morized, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true¡¡ and¡¡ in fact, Big brother is super cool.¡±
¡°Really? But, we just met, so there¡¯s no need to panic¨D¨D¨D ¡°
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter that you just met. Both yer and I fell for you as soon as we met.¡±
¡°Ah, I see¡¡
That said, falling in love as soon as we met or something like that, such a convenient¨D¨D¨D¨D
¨D¨DHoney! I¡¯m in love with you!
There was¡¡ I¡¯ve been through that before.
¡°Ideal, right¡ but, such a thing¡¡.¡±
Well, I never thought that there would be a girl in this world who was an elf, beautiful, cute, emotional, had much bigger boobs than Sadiz, and who saw me as her ideal man.
But that¡¯s just what Espie was saying, and maybe it¡¯s not that bad ¡¡ right?
¡°¡¡ nce.¡±
¡°Hah¡¡ pui¡¡ dokidoki peekpeek.¡±
When I nced at her, her face turned bright red and she looked away, but still stole peeks at me¡¡
¡°¡¡ do you get it? Big Brother.¡±
¡°¡¡ yes, I get it.¡±
She¡¯s in love with me! She has definitely fallen for me!
No, this has never happened to me before either, and I guess I¡¯m so ignorant that I wouldn¡¯t even notice unless someone told me directly, like with Kron and Shinobu, and that¡¯s why never noticed Phianse at all¡¡ but even I can tell, and that¡¯s saying a lot, right?
¡°But¡¡ that¡¯s why I¡¯m worried. Big Brother¡ you¡¯re so popr, so there must be other girls out there, right?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m not dating anyone or anything¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s true! But¡¡ Mr. Chieftain and Lal told me¡¡ it¡¯s really hard and sometimes sad for an elf to fall in love with a human¡¡ so¡¡ what if your brother stays indecisive¡¡ I feel sorry for Amicus¡¡¡±
¡°U, uh, uhm~¡¡¡±
Well, I could understand Amicus¡¯ feelings to some extent. But, it was so sudden that I couldn¡¯t process it either.
In the first ce, how do you say ¡°give up on me¡± to a girl you¡¯ve only known for an hour? Who do you think you are? How egotistical are you?
¡¸Hey, Tre¡¯ainar¡¡ what should I do?¡¹
¡º¡¡¡¡¡»
¡¸Tre¡¯ainar?¡¹
¡ºEh? Ah, um, what is it?¡»
¡¸Huh?¡¹
Huh? That¡¯s pretty unusual. Was there something going on, or was Tre¡¯ainar just spacing out or something? He didn¡¯t hear anything?
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Tre¡¯ainar? Is there something bothering you?¡±
¡°No¡¡ nothing. I was contemting for a moment.¡¯
I can¡¯t believe Tre¡¯ainar didn¡¯t hear anything because he was lost in thought. What was he thinking about?
Anyway, from Tre¡¯ainar¡¯s point of view, my love affair might seem pointless¡¡
¡°Ugh~¡¡ say, sister! Are you still speaking of something? If this matter does draw on, might we not return to the settlement for now!¡±
¡°Eh? Ah, un, that¡¯s right. Ah~, yer, these Hunters¡¡¡±
¡°Hmm. I¡¯ll take them to a nearby town and ask a few questions, including a little sermon.¡±
Then, as if she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, Amicus shouted and called to us.
Espie nodded reluctantly, and yer sighed as he decided to take the hunters I had sent flying out of the mountain.
And¡¡
¡°Hehe, anyway, once we arrive at the settlement, you must tell me all about yourself, Earth! A great many things, indeed ?.¡±
¡°Ngh, o, oh.¡±
¡°And I shall guide you, and show you around! And then, and then¡¡.¡±
Somewhat thrilled and excited, Amicus grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.
And¡..
¡°As a token of my gratitude for your aid¡ I shall treat you to plenty of my prized Pai pie, Earth!¡±
¡°¡¡ Hmm?¡±
¡¡ eh?
¡°Don¡¯t hesitate, have as muuuuch as you desire ?.¡±
¡°Pa¡¡ Paipai?¡±
¡°Yes, Pai pie! Mine are truly scrumptious! Once you have a taste, you shall surely be addicted! Ehen!¡±
¡°Oh, y, yes¡¡ I¡¯m sure, it¡¯s amazing¡¡ but¡ if I taste it, will I get addicted? Ah, no¡ is it okay to taste it?¡±
¡°Of course! I shall do my utmost to present it to you!¡±
¡°Y, your utmost, what do you mean?¡±
Pai of pai, of pai of pai, oppai(boobies)oppai(boobies)?
No, proudly puffing out her chest, eh? Such freedom¡?
¡°That¡¯s what the treat is called! It¡¯s a pie, Big brother! Like apple pie or lemon pie! It¡¯s a fruit called Pai, in a pie dough, a Pai pie!¡±
¡°A, ah~~, I, I, I, I see! Ah, I¡¯m looking forward to it, that¡¯s for sure!
Author¡¯s Note
Thank you for your support. Anyway, besides the Pai pie, the serious word ¡°lifespan¡± came up in thest chapter, but there were variousments in thements section, for the time being, about ¡°Kron¡±, Kron¡¯s lifespan has already been mentioned in the past¡ If you take a look at ¡°Chapter 210 ¨C All Together¡°, you¡¯ll see that it¡¯s mentioned in passing.
Also, althoughpletely unrted, I¡¯ve been promoting the new work, Brrrr Vibro, for a while now, but since I¡¯ve been doing all sorts of things with it, I¡¯ve decided to post it on Nocturne Novels. Only extremely refined adult friends should look for it. I¡¯ve written it under a different personality in this and that part, so it shouldn¡¯t affect this work! As proof of this, the original n was for Earth to say ¡°Sure, let¡¯s have em, chomp¡± and ¡°ahn~¡±, but this time I restrained myself, so please praise me for that.- Twitter

Chapter 366: Elven Settlement: Before and After
¡°We shall be there soon~, Earth.¡±
A hidden ce said to be located deep in the mountains, wading through roadless paths.
It¡¯s the kind of ce that would be hard to reach, even by chance, if you didn¡¯t know where it was.
In addition, the ce is covered by magic barriers and spells to repel people.
Well, in the first ce, it seemed that this undeveloped and untouched mountainous area as far as the eye can see is the private property of the elves.
So, other than the rogue Hunters who had trespassed the mountains without permission like earlier, there didn¡¯t seem to be much danger.
¡°With a mountain this big, it won¡¯t be that easy to find the settlement¡ will yer be able toe?¡±
¡°Worry not. Brother has visited many a time before, so he knows the way quite well~¡±
It seems that yer will take the rogue Hunters to the town at the foot of the mountain and give them a lecture and question them.¨D¨D You really did something so ¡®unnecessary¡¯¡¡
He seemed very angry, so I felt sorry for the hunters, but let¡¯s not worry about it.
Well, and after a long walk¡¡
¡°Here we are, Earth! This is our Elven settlement, ¡®Tapir Bael¡¯!¡±
¡°O¡¡ oh ¡¡.¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but shout out.
It was a peacefulndscape that resembled the vige where the elves lived fifteen years ago¡ but on a slightlyrger scale.
¡°Wow¡¡ it¡¯s gotten pretty big.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, Big brother. There are more people than in the past era, so we made it a bit bigger, put in fields and watermills, raised livestock, drew water, and more.¡±
¡°Eh? Earth¡¡ Sister, what do you mean by ¡®in the past era¡¯?¡±
Each wooden house stood at a suitable distance from the next.
A canal ran through the settlement, drawing water from the river and feeding the mills, and there wererge, beautiful, splendid terraced fields, it¡¯s amazing that they could create so much just by being given a previously untouched mountain.
And above all, there were elves wandering about the settlement. Elves of all ages, young and old, children, men and women, all seemed peaceful.
There was no gloomy or bleak atmosphere at all, which made it seem like a very pleasant ce to live.
¡°It looks nice.¡±
¡°Eh?! Earth, you approve? That ddens me¡¡ Ehehe. Later, I shall show you around every nook and cranny! Leave it all to me!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, Amicus. Let¡¯s calm down for a moment.¡±
She¡¯s happy to hear praise for her home¡¡ but I feel a mix of other emotions too, Espie hugged Amicus with a wry smile and pulled her a little away from me.
Uhm¡¡ what¡¯s happening here¡¡
¡°Oh? Amicus, what are you doing in such a ce¡¡ oh, that¡¯s Espie, is it not!¡±
At that moment, one of the young elves in the settlement looked over and noticed Espie, and with a happy smile, called out.
And then¡¡
¡°Huh? Espie dear!¡±
¡°Wow, it¡¯s Espie indeed! Come to visit, have you?¡±
¡°Eh? Espie is here¡ then mayhap yer is also about?¡±
¡°Oy! Espie!¡±
One after another, they all looked over at Espie, waved at her, and ran over happily.
¡°Ehehe, hi, everyone! How are you~?¡±
That alone shows how much Espie was adored by the elves.
And¡¡
¡°Hm? Espie, who¡¯s that by your side?¡±
¡°Eh? A human!?¡±
¡°Ah,e to think of it, Espie did mention she would soon bring a guest¡¡.¡±
¡°Huh? ¡ do my eyes deceive, or have I seen him somewhere before¡¡¡±
Their gazes turned to me.
As expected, there seemed to be a wariness of humans other than Espie and yer, and everyone almost backed away as quickly as they could, as if surprised.
¡°Oh, Big brother, I didn¡¯t tell them, but I did say that me and yer will be bringing guests, but only Mr. Chieftain and Lal know that Big brother ising¡ and about traveling through time. I¡¯ll exin it to everyer.¡±
¡°Oh, I see¡¡ Hmm? Lal¡¡?¡±
Still, Espie had said some things beforehand, and most importantly, everyone squinted their eyes when they saw my face and said, ¡°he looks familiar.¡±
In that sense, I didn¡¯t have a conversation with them either, but I did see some familiar faces¡¡
¡°Everyone, let me introduce you to this person ¨C¡°
¡°Everyone, wait! This is Earth, and though he is human, he is no threat! He¡¯s a good man! Moreover, he is¡ most gant, strong¡ and a truly remarkable soul!¡±
Perhaps Amicus felt she had to ¡®protect¡¯ me, because she grabbed my arm and desperately pleaded with everyone.
No, you don¡¯t have to be so desperate¡¡ and Espie was holding her face, going ¡°Acha ~¡±.
And then it happened.
¡°Pray, wait a moment! Is it true that Amicus has returned alongside Espie!?¡±
The voice of a woman came rushing in, pushing her way through the crowd. I knew that voice.
¡°Espie, you are most wee! And Amicus, you have ventured into the forest once more without leave¡ tte, eh?!?¡±
¡°Oh¡¡.¡±
¡°Hold, Amicus! What do you mean, clinging to a human male? Release him this instant!¡±
Wow, it¡¯s been more than fifteen years, but she hasn¡¯t changed at all!
A cute elven woman with peach-colored hair.
She was shorter than Amicus, and with a less curvaceous body¡ but¡¡
¡°Mother, fear not! For Earth is not dangerous in the least~¡±
¡°What do you speak? All boys are beasts and brutes, and humans are thrice the monsters! That, um, uh, w, with that bosom, being only slightlyrger than mine, you surely attract those perverts who pant like hounds in heat!¡±
Amicus¡¯ mother. Mr. Chieftain¡¯s wife, Mrs. Yitea.
Nothing has changed at all.
She looked more like a sister than a mother, though she was genuinely worried about Amicus and trying to get her away from me.
¡°And, you! Though you appear to be Espie¡¯s guest, what are your intentions towards¡.. my daughter¡¡. what¡¡¡±
Then the wife red at me and looked like she was about toin.
But as soon as she saw my face, she froze¡¡ and then¡¡
¡°Eh? ¡Eh? Huh? You¡ eh? Ah, you¡¯re, surely¡ eh!?¡±
Apparently, the wife noticed it right away.
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡¡ Oh!?? Th. this man!?¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±
¡°Eh? E, everyone, what¡¯s wrong? Why were you astonished upon gazing at Earth¡¡.¡±
And finally, the other elves seemed toe to their senses.
But, as expected, it seemed they couldn¡¯t believe it.
It¡¯s not surprising.
To the wife and the others, the man they met more than fifteen years ago appeared before them looking exactly the same as back then.
¡°Oh, hello, ma¡¯am. Long time no see.¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not possible!!? It couldn¡¯t be you!? B, but, being but a mere human¡¡ how have you remained unchanged after these fifteen years? Are you perhaps the brother or son of that fellow?!¡±
Since she¡¯s an elf, it¡¯s natural that her appearance hasn¡¯t changed at all. But it¡¯s strange that I, as a human, haven¡¯t changed.
¡°Not possible¡¡ after all¡¡ because¡¡¡±
¡°What!? Earth, you know of my mother? And mother, you¡¯re aware of him as well!?¡±
Well, both Espie and yer have arms and legs that stretch so much, so it¡¯s not that easy to believe.
But¡¡
¡°Ma¡¯am.¡±
¡°Wh, what is it¡¡±
I have a way to make you believe me. And that is¡¡
¡°If you don¡¯t believe me¡ I¡¯ll turn into a pouty, pouty grumpy cat, nyah~¡±
¡°Eehhh!??¡±
There it is.
I said that to the wife while making a cat¡¯s paw pose.
¡°Buha! B, big Brother¡¡±
¡°Eh? Earth, what has befallen you so suddenly?! Why do you act in the manner of a cat?¡±
Espie, who knew what was going on, burst outughing, while Amicus, who didn¡¯t seem to know, looked confused.
Yes, this was the same one that his wife used¡¡
¡°Fugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!¡±
Her face turned bright red and she yelled.
Yes, the only people who knew this were Mr. Chieftain, Espie, yer, and me.
¡°Aah, yo, u, oooh, yooouuuuuuuu!¡±
¡°Say, mother, what vexes you so? Hey, what is amiss? Answer me!¡±
Her gaze suddenly changed from the wary re she had earlier given a man for approaching her daughter.
She red at me, her ears turning red with embarrassment.
And¡¡
¡°Master, I heard a most loud noise just now! ??All the adults are gathered there~?¡±
¡°Master.¡±
¡°I wonder what Father and Mother, and the uncles, are about.¡±
Hearing the strange noise, some young children from the back of the settlement showed their faces.
¡°Hey, everyone. The y presentation ising up soon so you need to focus on it¡¡ or¡¡ hmm. Everyone is indeed gathering there¡ what¡¯s going on?¡±
A group of small children were ying together¡¡ with some kind of ¡¡ bunny ears on their heads¡¡
¡°Hmm¡¡ Well then, let¡¯s hop on and see what everyone is doing, pyon! We¡¯ll go singing along, pyon!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, pyon ?¡±
Someone also came out who seemed to be ying with and looking after the small children.
She was wearing bunny ears on her head along with the children, smiling kindly¡huh? I was under the impression that elves had pure white skin, but thisdy is dark, perhaps tanned.
No, rather than dark-skinned¡¡
¡°By the way, Espie. That beautifuldy with the bunny ears and costumeing over here singing with the smiling small children¡ who is she? I¡ I¡ I feel like I¡¯ve seen her somewhere before¡¡
¡°Haha, well, you might be surprised¡¡¡±
¡°Ah, it¡¯s Master! Earth, allow me to introduce her. Hey there, Master~!¡±
I see Espie smiling at me. Who is she? Someone I know?
Apparently, she was also a master to Amicus, as she waved and called out to her.
¡°Little bunny hop, hop, hop in the sky, so happy~?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Little bunny hop, hop, hop in the sky, so happy~?¡±¡±¡±¡±
The children seemed to be having fun and smiled a lot. They must really love thedy who was ying with them.
No~, who is that person?
¡ºOh, oh¡¡¡»
It made even Tre¡¯ainar groan.
Yeah, I actually have an idea of who she might be.
But, I was more convinced that I was wrong.
But still, the bunny-eareddy approached me¡¡
¡°Well, everyone¡¯s here, what are you all doing, Pyon?¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±Pyon?¡±¡±¡±¡±
She smiled at me with the children and asked¡¡ ¡¡ Ms. ck Rabbit.
Or rather, she was dressed in a way that was not good for the children¡¯s education.
She wore a furry costume with her legs, arms, and navel exposed, and wore rabbit ears on her head.
It¡¯s like a ck bunny outfit that you might find in a ¡°forbidden store¡±¡¡
¡°Oh, Espie. And¡¡ Hmmmm!!???¡±
Ah, the ck bunny looked at me and froze.
And then, her mouth was opening and closing¡ ah¡ there was no doubt about it¡ this fellow¡..
¡°Y, you! Ragaan-man! No, Earth Lagann! You¡¯ve finally arrived!¡±
Ady who was once known as the Ebony Witch.
Torn from her loved ones by the tragedy of war, she resented and cursed everything in the world, and walked the bloody ordeal-ridden path of hell¡¡
¡°Oh, what a surprise!?¡±
She was dressed in a well-crafted costume.
¡°Um¡ I¡¯m here as well¡ No, um, young man? Do you not notice me?¡±
¡°Ah, Father!¡±
Oh, and by the way, Mr. Chieftain was there too, mixed in with the crowd. He hasn¡¯t changed at all.
Actually, the impact of the bunny was so big that I couldn¡¯t pay any attention to that.

Chapter 367: With Pride
¡°L, Larou¡¯iph?! You, wh, what are you doing!?¡±
¡°Nuh¡¡ what, I was just ying with the kids for a while. It¡¯s been over ten years since west met, but you¡¯re still the same¡ no, that¡¯s only natural. You are right after your battle with General Gouda¡¡ I suppose?¡±
¡°¡Ah, yeah¡
The one who suddenly changed attitude from smiling, singing, and dancing with the children to a serious expression was the dark elf Larou¡¯iph, formerly of the Demon King Army.
But, even if she makes such a serious face, while wearing bunny ears and costume¡..
¡°Ahaha, you¡¯re surprised, Big brother. Lal has been living in this settlement since then and has be the children¡¯s teacher. She teaches them things like general studies, magic, and outside knowledge, and also ys with them while the adults are working in the fields¡¡ she¡¯s a big help for taking care of Amicus, and now she¡¯s most adored in this settlement ?.¡±
As I was surprised at how much Larou¡¯iph had changed, Espie whispered in my ear.
Somehow, regardless of their past history or race, they have lived their lives together as residents here.
¨D¨DDying miserably in the field is also a fitting end for me¡¡At that moment, I remembered the words that Larou¡¯iph once said.
She was in despair about many things, and her eyes showed she had lost the will to live, leading her to say those words.
But after the battle with Gouda, when it was time for me to return to the future, she told me while hugging a crying Espie and yer,
¨D¨DI will live. Even though I am covered in blood and ugly, one day I will be able to hold my head high and bravely meet Aka again¡ I will live a proud life, and one day I will definitely go and see Aka. I swear it. For Aonii¡¯s sake¡
That promise. Remembering that, I ¡¡
¡°Hey, Larou¡¯iph¡.¡±
¡°Hmm? What is it?¡±
¡°Are you¡ living your life with pride?¡±
¡°¡eh!? Yes! I¡¯m still alive. I¡¯ve never forgotten about Aonii¡ not even for a day.¡±
Although Larou¡¯iph¡¯s eyes widened at my question, she quickly understood and nodded at me with a gentler smile than I had ever seen in the past.
¡°I see! I¡¯m so d¡ re
¡°Fufu. Well, it¡¯s also thanks to you.¡±
¡°That¡¯s not true. You¡¯ve worked hard for thest ten years or so, haven¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t really feel like I worked that hard¡ I¡ was just enjoying myself.¡±
¡°Well, then, Mr.Aka
¡°Th, that¡¯s¡¡ um¡¡ a little more¡¡ I guess I¡¯ll go look for him once I¡¯ve gained a little more confidence¡¡.¡±
¡°
When I mentioned Mr. Aka¡¯s name, her face suddenly turned red and she was not only flustered but fidgety¡ what was she doing now¡¡
¡°Eh? Say, Master, do you also know Earth? And¡ over ten years since youst met? How can that be!? Even Mother seemed familiar with him¡¡.¡±
Amicus, who does not know the circumstances, was even more confused by our exchange.
Besides¡¡
¡°Indeed! Say, what do you mean by all this? Why are you¡¡ and behold, Lal is not the least bit shocked, nor Espie, nor you as well!¡±
¡°Just as I thought! So then¡ is he the one who saved us in times past?¡¡?¡±
¡°Eeeeh?! Th, the young man from that time!? How can this be!?¡±
¡°Espie dear, pray exin! Is this the guest you spoke of?¡±
¡°Someone, please, exin this to us aright!¡±
The adults in the vige, who finally realized who I was, were also confused and holding their heads.
¡°Say, Earth! Who truly are you? Besides, a moment ago, Master called Earth¡ Ragaan-man¡¡¡±
¡°Eh? Ah~, th
¡°Ah!? I, I misspoke, I¡¡.¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡ Lal¡¡ it¡¯s toote anyway¡¡¡±
Amicus also seemed caught up in the fact that I was called Ragaan-man once.
This made Larou¡¯iph look startled and panicked, but Espie chuckled and shook her head.
And¡¡
¡°Hmm? ¡®Toote¡¯¡¡ y
In fact, Mr. Chieftain had actually been here this whole time.
¡°Oh¡¡ Mr. Chieftain¡¡ ah, sorry for thete greeting. It¡¯s been a while, Mr. Chieftain.¡±
¡°Say, Father, you know Earth as well, right? Tell me. She called Earth Ragaan-man¡¡ And more still, Earth wielded the Great Magic Spiral! What does this all mean!?¡± ?
¡°¡
He looked back and forth between me and Amicus with a difficult expression on his face, muttering something to himself¡¡
¡°So¡.. somehow, it appears that Amicus is clinging most ardently to the young man¡¯s arm¡¡ giving no regard for personal space¡ as if in the midst of a most intimate embrace
The way he looks¡¡ it¡¯s as if he was watching a bad bug approach his daughter¡¡ no, that was definitely it.
And Mr. Chieftain nced at Espie¡¡
¡°Say, Espie¡¡.¡±
¡°U, un¡¡ you see¡¡ me and yer took our eyes off him for a moment¡¡ and Big brother met Amicus first, ¡¡.¡±
¡°Then, they ¡¡ encountered a group of rogue hunters who were trespassing on the mountain.¡±
¡°Okay, hold right there, stop!!¡±
Espie replied to Mr. Chieftain with a wry smile, and Mr. Chieftain paused.
And¡¡
¡°Allow me a moment to collect myself. Phew¡¡ well, if this was a typical temte event devised by some third-rate novelist from my gic hometown, the scenario might unfold thus: they would encounter nefarious hunters, be endangered, and then the young man,ing to Amicus¡¯ rescue in a most heroic fashion, would unleash the Great Magic Spiral to dispatch the lot of them, and thereby Amicus¡¯ affection g would be raised after being saved¡ or such so. But such are only clich¨¦d imaginings, reality would go differently¡. Alright, I¡¯m steady now. So, Espie¡¡ could you recount what truly happened?¡±
¡°I¡¯m sorry¡¡ Mr. Chieftain¡¡ that was so urate¡¡ there¡¯s nothing to correct.¡±
¡°tte!? Hold a moment! Young man!?
Mr. Chieftain mumbled as if he had witnessed the whole scene.
That was amazing¡
And Mr. Chieftain, seemingly exasperated, grabbed me.
¡°Young man¡¡ let me be clear, we all owe you a great debt of gratitude, right? And, as befits tales of legend, this would be the part where we offer a bond in friendship, perhaps an elf retainer. Or even betrothal to our daughter, right? But surely you know that life is not so, and yet¡ to think, in but a few hours¡¯ absence, you would already ensnare my daughter~~! Well, the fault may lie with me for penning the tale of Ragaan-man, and leaving it for her to read¡¡ nevertheless¡¡ so swiftly! How is it, Young man, that in mere moments before our reunion, you have charmed her so!?¡±
¡°No, wait, Mr. Chieftain! I¡¯ve got a lot to say too¡¡! Besides, I didn¡¯t even know about the Ragaan-man book in the first ce¡¡
¡°Father, cease at once! What are you doing to Earth!? Unhand him, Earth is my savior and worthy of honor!¡±
He grabbed my shoulders and shook me back and forth vigorously.
There were too many people talking, both those who knew the situation and those who didn¡¯t¡¡ this is going to take a while¡¡
¡°Oh my¡¡ Amicus¡¯s admiration for Ragaan-man was a cause for concern¡¡ enough¡¡ it¡¯s already troubling me in many ways¡ there¡¯s also the matter of Lady Norja to consider¡¡±
¡°Ahahaha, that¡¯s right, Lal. Well, it¡¯s Big brother after all ¡¡. but, this is troubling. The truth is, I haven¡¯t told him about that yet¡¡ I wanted to discuss it with Mr. Chieftain and Lal, including updates about Big brother¡¯s rtionship with girls¡ also, in all seriousness¡¡ since that Graduation match, Big brother has caught the eye of the Demon Realm¡¯s ¡®La¡¯iphant¡¯ and that ¡®Hakuki¡¯ as well.¡±
So, for now, we decided to go to Mr. Chieftain¡¯s house and have a talk with the four of us ¨C myself, Espie, Mr. Chieftain, and Larou¡¯iph.
Author¡¯s Note
I¡¯m sorry. I was nning to update yesterday, but the posting date was wrong. Only Kakuyomi, which posted the same thing twice, was updated and is now two chapters ahead of the original¡ Please forgive me.

Chapter 368: Proof of Peace
Chapter 368: Proof of Peace
Chapter 368 ¨C Proof of Peace
¡°Although I did nothing but fight, I thought I could teach them general studies and magic, so I was entrusted with the task of taking care of the young children in this settlement¡¡ at first, the children didn¡¯t warm up to me because of my skin color, and especially because of my grumpy face, so it was a daily struggle¡¡ but I thought that was not good enough, so I tried various things, and¡¡.¡±
The living room of Mr. Chieftain¡¯s house.
We decided to first talk it over among ourselves ¨C me, Espie, Mr. Chieftain, and Larou¡¯iph.
Larou¡¯iph started talking about what happened from more than a decade ago until now¡¡
¡°So, you¡¯re saying that at the end of it all, you became a bunny to make the children more receptive?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s not just a bunny¡¡ I also have a cat¡¡ and then for naughty children, I ¡¡ dress up in a lion outfit and say things like, ¡®I¡¯m going to eat you¡¯. ¡°
¡°Ah!? Amicus did that too! Eh? So, Amicus was influenced by you!?¡±
¡°Well, it¡¯s true that Amicus does sometimes use that catchphrase¡¡±
And weughed together as we listened to Larou¡¯iph¡¯s stories of the fulfilling days she had been living since then.
¡°I used to be so conscious of what other people thought of me and my appearance¡¡ I was so embarrassed that I couldn¡¯t sing out loud with the children. But that wasn¡¯t good enough¡¡ I had to change¡ I started thinking that, and¡ umm¡ by the time I realized it, I had be like that.¡±
¡°Haha, I see. But¡ when I saw how those little kids and Amicus treated you, I thought you had really changed.¡±
¡°In terms of poprity with children, Espie and yer are not to be outdone. They oftene to the settlement to y and look after the children.¡±
¡°Now that I think about it, Amicus looks up to them as her older brother and sister¡¡¡±
¡°Hmm, yer in particr has close ties to the region. Elves don¡¯te down to human settlements very often, so all the tools in this settlemente from yer¡¯s equipment shop.¡±
¡°Oh, is that so¡¡.¡±
¡°When I heard from Espie that a child was born between Hiro and Mamu of the Seven Heroes, and that its name was Earth Lagann, I was not only surprised but also realized once again that what you said was true¡ it made me want to live with an eye to the future.¡±
Larou¡¯iph has really changed over the past decade or so.
Somehow, I felt happy and relieved about that.
¡°Personally, I would have liked to see you reunited with Mr. Aka right after I met him, but¡¡ I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to meet Mr. Aka directly now.¡±
¡°Ugh, that¡¯s ¡¡.¡±
When I said that half-jokingly, Larou¡¯iph suddenly became fidgety, even though she was not shy about the bunny.
¡°Well, I mean, it would probably be a bother if a woman he hasn¡¯t seen in over a decade suddenly showed up out of nowhere¡¡ a, and unlike over a decade ago, when it actuallyes down to it, when I think about going to find him¡ I get¡ kind of nervous¡¡¡±
¡°Ahahahaha, it can¡¯t be helped, Big brother. One way or another, Lal has been thinking about her first love for over a decade, without any dating experience ?. From what I¡¯ve heard, there were people in this settlement who tried to propose to Lal because of her dedication, but Lal only has eyes for Aka¡¡ but that¡¯s exactly why she gets so timid.¡±
¡°Sh, sh, shut up, Espie¡¡! Unlike you and yer who just ¡®sort of¡¯ go with the flow¡ Aka knew me back when I was covered in blood and unsightly, so¡ there¡¯s a chance that he won¡¯t ept me¡ if Aka rejects me, then I¡ I wouldn¡¯t even have the will to go on¡¡.¡±
To be honest, I don¡¯t know how old Larou¡¯iph is, but she has the innocence of someone who has just fallen in love¡¡ somehow, I think she¡¯s be really cute.
I don¡¯t think Mr. Aka would reject her. Well, I don¡¯t know that much about romance, and it¡¯s all a matter of Mr. Aka¡¯s own preferences¡¡
¡°Well, that¡¯s not the case¡¡ I was able to reunite with Big brother, now you need to find Aka.¡±
¡°Yeah. I¡¯d like to meet Mr. Aka too¡¡ you should step out of your scared and timid ways, take the first step.¡±
¡°Ugh¡¡ stop it.¡±
In any case, my desire to someday meet Mr. Aka again grew even stronger after I traveled back from the past.
¡°Well¡¡ indeed, such revelry in matters of love and jest is but a sign of peace¡ and it seems, Young man, that you are exceedingly well-favored among the hearts here.¡±
And, Mr. Chieftain gave me a cold, narrow-eyed re as he sipped his coffee.
¡°O, oh, Mr. Chieftain. By the way, thank you for continuing to write sequels to the Destiny series.¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing special ~¡¡ just the keeping of a promise unto you, Young man, for all the boons you have granted us ~, and yet~,¡¡ to think of my very own daughter thusly.¡±
¡°E, excuse me for that.¡±
¡°No, worry not ~, if things between you were earnest~, then would be between the two of you~, but well ~, you are quite the sought-after fellow, as I hear~? Were my daughter to be drawn in as another member of a harem¡ªwell, a father¡¯s heart would take a blow at the thought ~¡±
¡°Harem, hey¡¡¡±
¡°Huh¡¡ I crafted the tale of Ragaan-Man as a gesture of gratitude to you, Young man¡¡ yet never did I imagine Amicus would grow so fond of it~¡¡ Now, should she discover that the Young man was actually Ragaan-man himself, who had journeyed to the past by way of an enchanted relic, I fear she¡¯d be thoroughly enraptured¡ and so, here we find ourselves~¡±
He said it so naggingly that I couldn¡¯t help but shrink back.
To be honest, there was nothing I could do about it, so what could I do now¨D¨D¨D¨D
¨D¨Dtter!!
¡°¡±¡±¡± Hmm?¡±¡±¡±¡±
At that time, there was a loud rattling sounding from under the floor of the house.
Eh? Is there something under the floor?
¡°¡¡ Hmm, it looks like there¡¯s a cat¡ under the floorboards.¡±
¡°Un, what a cute, pesky kitty.¡±
¡°For my part, that feline is the most precious in all the world¡¡¡±
The three of them now seemed to realize what was under the floor.
Then I activated my magical radar as well¡ and discovered a human-shaped cat with unusuallyrge breasts listening intently under the floorboards.
I see¡¡ so you were eavesdropping¡¡
¡°Anyway, we¡¯ll talk about thatter. There are a few things I need to discuss with Big brother. Seriously.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know if Big brother is aware of this or has noticed, but¡ even the demons have been paying close attention to your movements since the Graduation Match. It wasn¡¯t just us who were watching that tournament, the demons of the Demon Realm were also watching.¡±
¡°Wait, this really turned into a serious conversation out of nowhere!?¡±
¡°Of course, yer and I will protect Big brother no matter what happens in the future, and we will stay by your side. But there are some things you need to know¡¡±
To be honest, I thought it would be difficult for Espie to suddenly switch from talking about Bunnies to talking about something like this, but from the way she kept a straight face, I could tell from the atmosphere that she was pretty serious about it.
¡°Big brother is being pursued by the Empire¡¡ La¡¯iphant, the former Six Supremacy and current Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm Government, is also in on the trend¡¡ he also uses the Breakthrough, and apart from exchanging information with Hiro and the others, it seems he is also using his own people to investigate Big Brother¡¡ well, me and yer would like to know why Big brother can use the Demon King¡¯s technique¡¡ but that can be exined another time.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡ I see¡¡¡±
¡°And, I got information that Hakuki is also curious about Big brother, although I don¡¯t think Hakuki even realizes that Big brother is the same man he met a decade ago¡¡ However, Hakuki also has connections with the remnants of the Bockmati Family, so it seems that he is trying to obtain information using even more underground people than La¡¯iphant.¡±
¡°Hmm~¡¡ that¡¯s ¡¡ well.¡±
The story that Espie told me is certainly a serious one.
Still, it was also a story that I somehow knew.
I¡¯ve never met La¡¯iphant, a former Six Supremacy, but if he saw that Graduation Match, he must be interested in me, and there was also Hakuki, Jamdi¡¯el, and Kron after all¡¡
So, it was a serious matter, but not so surprising, so I calmed down and sipped my coffee¡¡
¡°And¡¡ Norja found out that Big brother was the Ragaan-Man she fought a decade ago¡¡ she¡¯s been ranting about how she¡¯s definitely going to make you take responsibility, and the pretense ofing from the Demon Realm to investigate the Shiznautmy ruins is just an excuse, in reality she¡¯s sneaking out and trying to kidnap Big brother.¡±
¡°Buboooooooooooh!!¡±
I spat out the coffee.
Chapter 369: I Apologize, But You Can’t Keep Me
You mean Norja found out about me?
¡°Why?! I hid my face back then! Even if we used the same technique, how could she figure out that I was Ragaan-Man!? I mean, you wouldn¡¯t think that I would use an item to travel to the past era, right?¡±
¡°Un¡¡ I know¡ I know, but¡¡ un, I¡¯m really sorry ¡¡.¡±
I thought only the people here and yer knew about this, but even Norja knew about it?
Wondering why this was happening, I instinctively stood up.
¨D¨D
The cat under the floorboards also listened with bated breath.
Then, Espie turned her face away a little¡¡
¡°Well, you see¡ originally, Norja thought that Ragaan-Man¡¯s true identity was Hiro¡¡ Ragaan-Man¡¡ ¡¡ as in Lagann¡±¡°O, oh¡¡.¡±
¡°So, when the war ended and Hiro was going to marry Mamu, Norja tried to ruin the wedding¡¡ but if they didn¡¯t get married, Big brother wouldn¡¯t be born, so me and yer desperately tried to stop her¡¡.¡±
I had no idea that happened.
I didn¡¯t expect that Espie and yer were fighting against a Six Supremacy behind the scenes of my parents¡¯ wedding.
¡°So, but, you know, Norja was so strong¡¡ and she really wanted to ruin it¡¡ so we got desperate¡ and things got heated¡¡¡±
¡°Uh
¡°I couldn¡¯t help¡¡ blurting out, ¡®Ragaan-Man¡¯s true identity isn¡¯t Hiro in the first ce!¡¯.¡±
¡°¡¡
¡°Th, that¡¯s when Norja reacted¡¡ and demanded to be told on the condition that the wedding would not be ruined¡¡ so¡¡ we told her. Not only us, but also Lal, who was a former subordinate of Norja, was present¡¡±
And since it was difficult to restrain Norja by force, Espie and yer tried to persuade her¡ well, it may have been a slip of the tongue, though.
What¡¯s more, I didn¡¯t realize that even Larou¡¯iph was involved.
¡°Norja was skeptical at first, but when Hiro and Mamu actually gave birth to Earth Lagann¡¡ she came to believe it¡¡ well, at that time, she couldn¡¯t hold back and tried to kidnap Big brother when you were still a baby, which caused another mess¡¡ but a few months ago, you turned 15 and ran away from home at the Imperial Academy¡¯s Graduation Tournament¡¡ Anyway, I made her promise not to meet Big brother until you took the pocket watch, went back to the past, and returned from that era¡¡ but once you came back, she said she wouldn¡¯t hold back anymore¡¡ and kept saying that she would make you take responsibility for what you did to her butt¡¡.¡±
Responsibility for her butt.
I did shoved the Great Magic Spiral up Norja¡¯s rear.
That said, it was an ident, and I know I did something terrible and I have to apologize, but¡¡
¡°Ah, if I apologize, will she forgive me?¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible. She¡¯s going to take you as her husband, put a cor on you, and keep you in the Demon Realm as her pet¡¡¡±
I thought it was a joke¡ but it seemed like she might really do it. Actually, I think she would do it.
¨D¨Dck clickety-ck!
The cat under the floorboards seemed surprised too.
¡°She won¡¯t tell La¡¯iphant or the Empire about Big brother¡¡ she also won¡¯t reveal the time-traveling item¡¡ but¡¡ if you resist¡¡ if it¡¯s all a lie, she¡¯ll destroy the underground ruins of Shiznautmy, take it all away¡ she said all sorts of threatening things¡¡± ?
¡°But, despite that, Lady Norja had been quietly waiting for more than ten years¡¡ well, there was one attempted kidnapping along the way¡¡ anyway, there was nothing we could do to stop Lady Norja from going on a rampage back then, other than telling her the truth¡¡±
¡°Still, we couldn¡¯t let her destroy the ruins¡¡ especially¡¡ the deepest part where we said goodbye to Big brother, I destroyed the passage and blocked it off with rubble just in case. I needed to keep that ce intact in case anything happened to the pocket watch or something like that. Mr. Chieftain told me that there was another hidden elevator there, so I could get to the area.¡±
Larou¡¯iph also seemed a little apologetic.
Well, just listening to the story, it seemed there may not have been any other way to stop Norja.
But even though that bought me some time, I guess that¡¯s all over now that I¡¯ve returned from the past.
¡º¡¡ a¡¡ ah~¡¡ Ti
On the other hand, Tre¡¯ainar, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly reacted as if he had realized something from what had just been said.
What¡¡
¡ºChild, do you recall the time you received the Master Key from Paripi?¡»
¡¸Hmm? Paripi?¡¹
¡ºDid Paripi not mention that the path leading to the deepest section of the ruins was destroyed and impassable¡¡»
¡¸
¨D¨DThere are several branching paths¡ and some of them are too old, or maybe some idiots made them artificially¡ anyway, there are paths that are catastrophically destroyed and impassable¡ there are paths that even I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with them, so be aware of that.
When I heard that, I also remembered.
Certainly, when I received the Master Key sent by Paripi in Ghenkan, he said something like that during our conversation using the magic crystal.
In other words, the culprit was Espie, and the cause was me¡¡ I didn¡¯t think it would be connected like that¡¡
¡°Big brother? This isn¡¯t funny, okay? This is serious, you know??¡±
¡°Oh, sorry sorry.¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle bitterly, but now certainly wasn¡¯t the time for that.
Let¡¯s put Paripi¡¯s story aside for a moment¡¡
¡°Anyway, one way to deal with this situation¡¡ is for Big brother to really be Norja¡¯s husband¡¡ or if Big brother is fine with Norja¡¡ if she¡¯s your type or something like that, then we don¡¯t really care¡¡.¡±
¡°Absolutely not!¡±
¡°That would mean¡ resisting and running away¡¡ Norja woulde after you, and might spread all sorts of rumors¡¡ but I think the three of us ¨C me, yer, and Big brother ¨C could handle it!¡±
¡°Ugh, I don¡¯t know if I should run away¡¡ well, I¡¯m the one who did something awful, so I don¡¯t really want to fight¡ no, but that was during the war¡ Ah~, but ¡¡¡±
My goodness. Who would have thought that the victory with the Great Demon Spiral on that rear would end up like this.
After all the things that had happened in the past and the fierce battle with Gouda, I had finally returned home and was reunited with Espie and yer, and just when I was thinking ¡°now is the time to move forward¡±, I never expected that a Six Supremacy would try to put a cor on me and keep me as a pet.
But, I¡..
¡°Well, I don¡¯t want to be kept as a pet. I have things I want to do. I want to get stronger and go to various ces. To the very ends, everywhere. There¡¯s no end. That¡¯s how I¡¯m going to live my life.¡±
Yes, that¡¯s all I can think about right now.
From now on, I want the ¡°four of us¡± to live as we please.
That¡¯s why¡¡
¡°I¡¯ll apologize, but whether I¡¯ll be kept as a pet is another matter. If I ever meet Norja and she tries to use force against me¡¡ I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ll fight back as best I can.¡±
¡°Big brother¡¡¡±
I can¡¯t take responsibility in the way Norja wants, but I¡¯ll apologize anyway, rather than just running away without saying anything.
¡°Fu¡¡ The opponent is Lady Norja of the Six Supremacy¡¡ Nowadays, few can say without hesitation that they would resist against such a legendary opponent if she came by force¡¡ as expected of you.¡±
Even Larou¡¯iph, who was once Norja¡¯s subordinate, smiled at my words.
Sure, it would have been impossible for me until just a while ago¡¡
¡°I¡¯m already used to the Six Supremacy, I¡¯ve had more than enough of them.¡±
I¡¯m not going to underestimate them, but I¡¯m not going to be scared and run away forever.
If not, I¡¯d be ashamed by Gouda and Aonii, who fought with all their might¡¡

Forbidden Master ¨C Part 8/Chapter36516th Nov 2024In "Forbidden Master"
Chapter 370: What’s Next……
¡°So, Big brother¡¡ in the worst-case scenario, you might have to fight with Norja, right?¡±
¡°Yes. But this is also my problem, and Espie and yer have¡ª¡±
¡°Don¡¯t say we have nothing to do with this! I¡¯m the one who told Norja in the first ce, so I am greatly responsible! So if Norjaes at you by force, me and yer will fight alongside Big brother!¡±
¡°N, no, even if you say that¡.¡±
It¡¯s my problem, so I need to settle it¡ or so I thought, but Espie stood up in annoyance, leaned forward and looked at me angrily.
¡°In the first ce, the one who pushed Big brother¡¯s Great Magic Spiral into Norja¡¯s rear¡¡ was actually me.¡±
¡°Ah, that¡¯s true¡.¡±
That reminded me. I had actually stopped at thest minute. Right before reaching Norja¡¯s ass.
But at that moment, Espie, who came flying on a ship, gave the boost to my Great Magic Spiral¡¡¨D¨DNHOOOOOOOOOOHH, NHOOOOOOOOOHH, NHAAAAAAAAAAH!!?? HNKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!???
That scream¡I¡¯ll never forget it.
In that sense, I can understand why Espie says, ¡°I¡¯m also responsible¡±.
But that¡¯s not all¡¡
¡°And ¡¡ I don¡¯t want to ¡¡ anymore.¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not just Norja¡¡ that time with Aonii¡¡ when Hakuki showed up¡¡ with Gouda¡¡ yer and I could do nothing but watch during crucial moments¡¡ I don¡¯t want to do that anymore. yer and I have grown bigger and stronger. So that we can fight with Big brother. So that we can protect Big brother.¡±
¡°
¡°That¡¯s right, for your sake, Big brother, yer and I don¡¯t mind turning the whole world against us!¡±
¡°Huh!?¡±
At the critical moments, I had to fight alone.
Partly because I myself had wanted a one-on-one fight, but apparently the fact that they were just watching my fights all the time was too much for these two to bear.
That¡¯s why Espie was determined to not just stand by and watch, no matter what happened.
I guess it¡¯s the same with yer.
It¡¯s really reassuring.
¡°And thus, as it follows¡ the Young man, along with Espie, and yer¡ shall soon make way unto thends of Shiznautmy, where humans and demons are undertaking a joint investigation as we speak¡ is it?¡±
Then Mr. Chieftain, who had been watching the events unfold in silence, asked.
¡°Is that so? But right now, it¡¯s not just Norja, it seems Fu¡¯s father is also apanying them in their investigation of the ruins¡¡ It would be troublesome if we meet¡¡ the matter would probably end up being reported to my father¡¡±
¡°Benlinerve, huh¡ Norja said something like she was going to sneak away from Benlinerve and kidnap Big brother ~¡¡ but I wonder if that¡¯s even possible? I guess¡ Benlinerve is a bit hard to grasp¡¡¡±
¡°Really? I have the impression that he¡¯s a gentle, smiling, baby-faced old man~¡¡¡±
¡°He¡¯s always smiling, so I don¡¯t really like him¡ I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking.¡±
For Espie, Uncle Ben is arade-in-arms, a fellow member of the Seven Heroes.
For me, he is my childhood friend¡¯s dad.
To him, I was a friend of his son, Fu, and he treated me as the son of arade, so I don¡¯t remember him ever getting angry with me.
So, Espie¡¯s impression of him as arade-in-arms would be slightly different from mine.
¡°Now that I think of it, how long will they be investigating the ruins?¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s really a set deadline. As expected, Norja can¡¯t stay on the Surface World indefinitely, but it seems like the joint demon and human investigation team will set up shop there for a while¡¡¡±
¡°Is that so? In that case, even if we ignore the Norja issue, it will be quite difficult to explore the interior of the ruins of Shiznautmy¡¡ I don¡¯t want to use force¡¡.¡±
¡°Well, we can¡¯t really fight in the ruins. Although we did fight Gouda there.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. With Uncle Ben there, it¡¯s all a bit chaotic and confusing¡ but I still want to explore the ruins¡¡.¡±
To be honest, I didn¡¯t get to explore the ruins that much in the past, so this time I¡¯d like to see more of them.
I¡¯m sure Tre¡¯ainar will be delighted, and I¡¯m interested too.
But from the looks of things¡¡
¡°Fret not. Espi did rend asunder the main passage ten years past, rendering it impassable to those folk. Yet, as Espie had said, one might still gain entry through another route, employing the likes of teleportation devices or lifts to traverse the side paths. You do bear the Master Key, after all.¡±
¡°Mr. Chieftain ¡¡¡±
¡°And as for what lies within, how it shall be wielded or to what end it shall be turned, those choices lie with you alone, Young man¡ I shall not stay your hand.¡±
Mr. Chieftain, the only one here who seemed to know the full extent of what was inside the ruins, said so.
Come to think of it, in the first ce¡¡
¡°Hey, Mr. Chieftain¡¡ I¡¯ve asked you before¡ but you just dodged the question then¡ but would you tell me now?¡±
¡°Hmm?¡±
¡°In the first ce¡¡ Mr. Chieftain, who are you?¡±
¡°Ah~¡¡ about that¡¡.¡±
Yes, that remained a mystery.
Mr. Chieftain had detailed information about the ruins and seemed to know how to use the facilities inside.
Obviously, he must have a ¡°connection¡±.
In the past, I would have been able to brush it off if I had heard about it, but now¡¡
¡°Dear~! yer has arrived!¡±
¡°Excuse me for the intrusion.¡±
At that moment, his wife called from outside the room, then yer opened the door and walked in.
¡°Oh, wee.¡±
¡°yer, good work!¡±
¡°d you could make it~¡±
¡°You must be tired, yer.¡±
yer took the Hunters to the town at the foot of the mountain.
Behind him was ma¡¯am¡¡
¡°Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but Espie¡¡ Brother¡¡ I learned a few things about those Hunters from earli
Then, yer came in and suddenly started saying something with a serious look on his face.
Those Hunters from earlier? Did something happen with those guys?
Wondering what was going on, we stopped talking and turned towards him.
But¡¡
¡°Enough of this! Say, reveal it unto me anon!! Dear, Espie, yer, Lal¡¡ and you most especially!¡±
¡°
Before yer could say anything, ma¡¯am came in and banged on the table.
And, upon closer inspection, it seemed that many elves from the vige had gathered outside the house¡¡
¡°You are human, and yet your visage remains unaltered despite the passage of years¡ªthat alone defies belief¡¡ yet Espie and yer call you ¡®Big brother¡¯ and ¡®Brother¡¯ and¡ and you knew of that secret of mine as well¡¡ hence, you must answer me this if nothing else! Are you¡¡ indeed, the very same man who, a score of years past, arrived at our vige with Espie and yer¡¡ shielded us from the marauding ogres¡¡ and even gave us the coin to im thisnd as ours? Are you truly Tapil Bael himself!?¡±
Apparently, ma¡¯am and the other elves had been waiting for a while, wondering what was going on.
But as we talked for a long time, it seemed she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so when yer came, ma¡¯am came in too, and asked me loudly so everyone could hear.
¡°Eeeeeeeeh!!???.¡±
¨D¨D Doka, baki, dogo, bago! ! ! !
¡°Atta!? Ow, ouch¡¡!¡±
The cat under the floorboards also seemed surprised by ma¡¯am¡¯s words, and seemed to have hit her head and body against various things.
¡°Ah~¡¡ well¡¡ this feels like the final blow ¡¡.¡±
¡°So, I suppose it is¡¡.¡±
¡°No, Mr. Chieftain, Lal¡¡ it was toote from the start¡ I¡¯m
Mr. Chieftain and Larou¡¯iph sighed, and Espie and yer smiled wryly.
For a moment, I thought about whether or not to change the subject, but still¡¡
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. It was me. Well, both Tapil Bael and Ragaan-Man were just pseudonyms I used to hide my true identity at the time, my real name is Earth Lagann¡ but it was definitely me.¡±
¡°¡±¡±¡±¡± Eeh
¡°Using a relic of Shiznautmy¡¡ I traveled through time.¡±
It would be troublesome if other people found out, but I thought it would be okay with these people, so I told them the truth.
