Campione! - Volume 20 - Chapter 3.5

Part 5

「Shit-. That idiot whose worth is even less than the dirt floating in space!」 

Andrea Rivera’s abusive language seemed to be a curse from the bottom of his heart. 

He was at the street traffic of first district of Kabuki-chou that could even be said to be the center of Shinjuku ward, the ward that was temporarily sealed due to the Campiones’ outrage!

「He dropped that thing again on earth!」

「Can I presume# that the falling star tonight is Lord Salvatore’s work?」 

Amakasu Touma asked with a tired face. 

He stayed overnight in this Shinjuku since last night to clean up the aftermath all this time. 

The people coming and going on the street traffic were only the people related with Historic Compilation Committee. White lab coat# worker fatigues# business suit# and so on# each people’s outfit shed light of their duty. Second day of devil king civil war, 22:50. The day would change in one more hour and the third day would begin……! 

Amakasu was reporting amidst that.「According to the staffs of our committee, the meteor just now traversed ‘whoosh’ above Tokyo from east to west# and seemed to fall on a mountain at Hachiouji. It appeared to cause a great explosion that wholly shaved the vicinity of the mountain summit.」

「Lord Andrea! If I’m permitted to ask」 

A tall and handsome Caucasian knight interjected. 

Sir Iceman. Searching for information of his master that vanished in the direction of Okutama, he came into contact with the members of History Compilation Committee at Shinjuku.

「I wish you to teach me, what kind of method Lord Salvatore accomplished that kind of stunt. That was an attack that doesn’t suit a person whose only worth is sword!」

「……That too is that guy’s『sword』.」 

Rivera tensed his crisp expression and answered briskly. 

The difference of faction wasn’t a reason to throw away the respect for Iceman who was an older pioneer. Rivera politely spoke with his inherent honesty.

「That idiot’s authority change everything he touch into his favorite magic sword. Several years ago, that man was thrown out into outer space――and an unfortunate accident for us mankind occurred. Salvatore Doni returned to earth 120 hours after but……during that time」 

Rivera clenched his fist tightly in rage toward his master that wasn’t here.

「That guy stole the cart of the soaring god Hyperion, and searched around for several asteroids at earth’s neighborhood……he touched all over their surface and turned them into magic sword.」

「By any chance――」

Sayanomiya Kaoru was in the middle of observing the actual scene as the person in charge of History Compilation Committee. 

The wise beauty dressed as man asked at Rivera.

「The lord’s magic sword# even when they were separated from the silver arm, the effect will still remain?」

「It will disappear for the moment. But, if that guy concentrated……he also can revive the effect of the magic sword transformation. Even if that magic sword is asteroid that is drifting outside earth――」 

Rivera let out a deep sigh.

「In order to shot down a god soaring at a battlefield that was the space, Salvatore Doni wanted magic sword for space use. This is the result of that.」

「And# tonight it fell on Tokyo……」

「That’s how it is! That idiot is an idiot so he almost never used it# but actually――he can manipulate the magic sword under his control using only his mind. His sense for magic is fatally nonexistent# so it takes a little bit of time to do it# and that’s also the reason that he doesn’t do something like that often!」

「H―m」 

Amakasu Touma whispered. He detested work environment that exploited the employee and hated to be called as ninja, an agent that was like lantern at noon day. However, he was engaging in the “clean up” at Shinjuku since last night without sleep and rest. He looked shabbier than usual because of that. He despondently spoke with a bit fed-up expression. 

「So an asteroid at earth’s neighborhood had its orbit twisted somehow and put in a course that entered earth. There is a lot of place to make retort about what kind of logic was used there that it could turn out like that but# it’s pointless waste of energy just making the retort isn’t it……」

「According to that idiot, it seem that if he closed his eyes and concentrated, he could somehow see『the just right sword trajectory when cutting earth from space』.」

「A man that somehow can use strategic space weapon huh……」

「It’s pointless to hope for common sense from that! And then# there is a more serious problem rather than that. That idiot thoroughly forget just how many asteroid he changed into magic sword but――」 

Now Rivera’s tone turned into a gloomy one!

「To guess from that guy’s testimony# at the very least it’s more than five. By any chance there is even the possibility that it can reach more than twenty……」

「Somehow it sounds like the number of nuclear bomb someone possess isn’t it!」

「It’s something similar after all.」 

Hearing the grumble of Amakasu, the aide of King of Sword continued further.

「The force of the attack tonight is really low-key# it’s unknown whether that’s because he dropped it in hurry or because the mass of the asteroid was nothing big. But, if that guy dropped the magic sword with “sword trajectory”――in other words the entry angle that is carefully launched, then perhaps it would be even possible to change the shape of the continent.」

It was the confession of the king’s butler# Andrea Rivera! 

If the terrifying『meteor swords』were going around earth’s neighborhood as asteroid, then their current position would change second by second depending on the cycle and time. 

Naturally, the entry angle would also change in respond to the distance and the designated destination. 

The steeper the angel, the greater the air resistance and heat when it was entering the atmosphere, and the falling thing would be crumbling. That was the reason that falling star would be burned to ash in the atmosphere. 

While all present was falling silent, the noble son of 

Hongkong’s Li famly# Li Yinghua shrugged his shoulders!

「Well, everyone of the godslayers should have hidden trick like that.」 

He had roughly accomplished the instruction of his master, so he returned to the city center. 

He was the young man with the greatest expertise of Campione’s state of affairs in earth! He despondently whispered with an expression that was a mix of enlightenment and resignation.

「After all even tonight, even after getting swallowed into that falling meteor or asteroid――it is still really suspicious whether anyone died from it.」 

Almost two full days passed since the start of the devil king civil war. 

However# they still didn’t know# about the newest information that the battle royal’s stage was moving from Tokyo# to another world……!
