Chapter 185
『Uu… It’s messy (desu~ no)…』 (Kuzuha)
As Kuzuha-chan spoke, it was an unreasonable and messy mass over Elsie-san .
What remains after the destruction vortex has passed is a mountain of rubble and silence .
The moonlight just lit the swallowed cry as if laughing .
『Is this the end… No…』 (Earl)
The Earl gently denied the words he spoke .
Ahead of his line of sight is a pile of debris from crushed structures .
And something is crawling out of it .
『Gu, u …』 (Bandersnatch)
Bandersnatch groans as it’s crawling out of the debris .
Beside it was Elsie-san, who was completely unconscious .
If she hasn’t disappeared, she should be alive .
『Did you protect your master? Good servant, Distorted Life』 (Earl)
His word sounded somewhat happily .
From everything the Earl has spoken so far, it was the only moment I felt a little emotion from him .
『But that’s it . 』 (Earl)
『Uu…! 』 (Arge)
『Arge-san!』 (Aoba)
『”Tail Beast Alter Ego”, “Golden Thread Prunus mume“! ! 』 (Kuzuha)
I was moving at the moment the Earl turned his palm toward Elsie-san .
My destination is the front of the two of them .
Bander Snatch and Elsie-san will not be able to escape in their current condition .
Thankfully, Kuzuha-chan and her Alter Ego, and Aoba-san also followed me .
『”Disaster“』 (Earl)
『Cut it off, “Quadruple Disaster Weasel” (Shijū Magai-Tachi)!!』 (Kuzuha + 3 Alter Ego)
『Block it, my ivy!!』 (Aoba)
Kuzuha-chan’s squad Quadruple Magic used as a counter is swallowed by That Black man’s magic vortex of destruction in an instant .
The wall that Aoba-san created by weaving ivy, which was several times thicker than usual also shattered like nothing .
Still, his magic was cut down a little power . I’m thankful .
I overtake Kuzuha-chan and raise my voice .
『Please go down…!!』 (Arge)
(T . N: Arge talks in polite language . Normally it should be “I will take you down“)
There aren’t many things I can do against the disaster power that is still raging .
I slashed my “Suiren”, which has become somewhat familiar to my hand to the extent that it can be said to be my beloved sword, toward the approaching vortex .
The blade sharpened to cut the shapeless thing correctly showed its power against the magic of darkness .
Still, I can’t slash it completely, and the magical remnants that flew like a splash are eroding my body .
『Uaaaaa~!』 (Arge)
I don’t know why I do this .
Elsie-san honestly has been doing many terrible things . I can’t sympathize with her way of life and I don’t want to be involved with her many times .
Still, when I thought her life was going to be robbed in front of my eyes, I was moving .
For whatever the reason, the opponent emerged from the Coffin-like thing which has the Kuon family crest on it . Although it seems like he still hasn’t completely lost his mind, there’s no doubt that he has some relationship with the Kuon Family’s reincarnation .
『I won’t allow any more life to be robbed from the Kuon Family…!! 』 (Arge)
I didn’t understand the meaning of the words I cried .
In the first place, wasn’t I convinced that I was thrown away and had nothing to do with Kuon Family .
So, I wasn’t robbed of anything, was I?
Then, why should I feel so impatient now?
I had to protect them .
I couldn’t understand the true character of my frustration but I surpassed my opponent’s magic .
『Uu… Pain, Pain, Go away!!』 (Arge)
The magic I cast isn’t only to heal myself and Kuzuha-chan but also to heal Bandersnatch and Elsie-san behind .
Healing magic will surely mend and erase our wounds .
Even though it’s only a moment of battle, I have received a powerful curse and some wounds, so I can’t help it .
Concentrating on my consciousness, I set up my sword .
『Gu …』 (Bandersnatch)
『Flee with your master . As far as possible』 (Arge)
There was a sign that something moved behind, so it probably started escaping .
I can’t afford to look back, but I can understand because their smell is going further away .
The Earl looked at me in an atmosphere that he wasn’t interested in blocking their escape .
『Uu……』 (Arge?)
His eyes as if were removed from the abyss, it changed to crimson light
The brilliance was so deep and cloudy that I couldn’t imagine that was the eyes of the same race .
『Are you okay, Arge-san?!』 (Aoba)
『Yes, somehow …』 (Arge)
I replied to Aoba-san who ran up to me but I couldn’t move .
If I moved even a little, I would be dragged into that pupil .
Such an unpleasant sensation tied my feet .
『…Smell』 (Earl)
『Eh …?』 (Arge)
『You… somehow smell… like that boy』 (Earl)
I don’t understand the meaning of his words .
It’s because I can’t read the emotions from his eyes .
Still, there’s no doubt that he showed some interests in me .
Otherwise, he won’t talk to me .
『I’m the Void (T . N: Raw means like “Empty” but I prefer the word “Void”』 (Earl)
『Void…? 』 (Arge)
『I’m no longer the Void .
I’m not a disaster, just some magical power .
Neither good nor bad, just a block of magical power .
You are very similar to those who use that power』 (Earl)
『That is …』 (Arge)
『Look at that glass . It’s reflected』 (Earl)
At the end of the direction he pointed to, there was a glass shattered by magic .
Probably it was in some private house .
It was only for a moment that I saw the reflected of the destroyed landscape and me .
At the next moment, what has been reflected is distorted rapidly, and something else appears .
『this is……!? 』 (Arge)
A boy with lustrous black hair appeared in the mirror .
His opened eyes are golden and dazzling as if they were burned .
He shook his head loosely and opened his mouth .
『Nice to meet you, Everyone』 (Shouta)
The boy’s voice resonated directly in our head, not from the mirror .
It’s not our ear but our head and spirit understand his words .
It may be some sort of magic, including the appearance in the mirror, or the power of artifacts .
『This picture is reflected on everything on the surface of the water, mirrors, glass… this word of mine speaks to everything .
And it allows me to speak to you unilaterally』 (Shouta)
(T . N: I hate this Man in Shouta clothes)
The narrative is quiet, but there is an atmosphere that doesn’t let you retort .
The words that resonated were so heavy that I couldn’t imagine it came from a boy .
『I’m Kurogane (Black Steel) . Kurogane Kuon .
You don’t have to remember . I’m just an engineer』 (Kurogane)
『Kuon…! 』 (Arge)
The words he said was certainly Kuon .
Something is stroking my skin .
Even if I don’t know why but it’s enough to clearly understand that it’s unpleasant that my body reacts .
『Let me tell you the words of my Lady .
The Emperess and my boss, Brute-sama .
Yeah, she is busy and I’m acting as a substitute』(Kurogane)
(T . N: How accuracy . Such a fitting name for this girl . I hate her even more than the Shouta)
He spreads his hands saying that and looks like having fun .
The edge of his mouth is lifted and his golden eyes shine brightly .
Even his figure that behaves like adjusting the throat seems to be somehow playful, exaggerated, and fun .
And he started speaking the word that he was a substitute .
『The empire has accumulated enough power . I got tired of playing with the kingdom .
So the empire declares war on everything』 (Kurogane)
『……!?』 (Arge)
『Not only the Republic and the Kingdom . Even other small countries, small villages .
The empire will reach for every country, every race, every existence .
Eventually, we reach out to the sea, to the Demon Continent, and to other islands . Obey us or die, choose the one you like』 (Kurogane)
『… Do you intend to conquer the world?』 (Satsuki)
Satsuki-san’s angry words have not reached the other party .
A boy named Kurogane sighed to show that his speech had ended and shook his hand gently .
『That’s why now the Empire is hostile to all nations and organizations .
Whether it’s the Kingdom, the Republic, the Commercial guild, or the Vault』 (Kurogane)
『Even Cyril vault…!?』 (Arge?)
Cyril coins are the only currency on this continent .
The Cyril Bank, which manages it, is deeply involved in the finances of everyone in the world and the country .
And they will even attack the Vault if she doesn’t follow them .
『This is the end of the message from Brute-sama… the Emperess .
And for me, I can finally decide my value . 』 (Kurogane)
『You are …』 (Arge)
『The Imperial army is built with my skills .
I am confident that I will lose to no one . If you think you can crush it, try crushing it .
I look forward to seeing people in this world satisfy me…』 (Kurogane)
Bowing his head a little, the boy’s figure disappears from the mirror .
No one could move, the silence came around .
…A Kuon person .
He called himself Kuon and used the word “this world” . Above all, his eyes had the strength of the will and resolve even it was unreasonable .
It’s different from a strange one like Aoba-san and a defective one like me .
That person is definitely a person who grew up correctly in Kuon family .
As a member of Kuon family, he was brought up as a matter of course to become the best person in the world .
『Why did such a person come to this world …』 (Aoba)
Aoba-san said so with a trembling voice .
That’s right . Certainly that person is a member of Kuon family .
Even now, after reincarnation, he still follows the framework that the presence of Kuon family will dominate the world .
If the reincarnation condition is that the soul doesn’t mesh with the world, then that person cannot be a reincarnation .
So why is he there?
But no one can answer those questions .
The night breeze blows as if ridicule this incomprehension, and it flows without any answers .
『…Did the dogs retreat? Then I’ll go back . 』 (Earl)
『Wait…』 (Arge)
『…Is there a need for me to wait? 』 (Earl)
『Uuu……』 (Arge)
The Black person had his eyes closed without any feeling and clogged my words .
Elsie-san had the power to win against me, a reincarnated person who had cheat ability .
But this man, he a force with a power which can even overwhelm her .
A monster with a higher combat power than Elsie-san .
Even if you asked me if I can win with such a thing, I can’t answer it .
『…Ain’t you empty?』 (Earl)
『Eh …?』 (Arge)
『I dare to say, your condition at best only has one fragment left .
Do not follow me, do not follow that man .
Just run away to the end of the earth .
Otherwise… you’ll just be emptied just like me』 (Earl)
『That …! 』 (Arge)
Then his figure blurs and disappears as it melts into the darkness .
Probably I couldn’t follow his departure from the front using the shadowing skill .
I stood up without being able to do anything with the other party leaving the scars of destruction .
『Then… what is different from that time …?』 (Arge)
I don’t know even why I ask this question . And my eyes are getting darker .
I wasn’t able to judge whether I lost my consciousness from fatigue or sleepiness .
