Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

Translator Agni

2nd chapter of the week

eh? You have metme?

Nikki was staring at the man called Hiyomi who was clad in black and exuding a strong presence. The reason why she was affected by Hiyomis words was because he knew about the place, she used to live in. Rather than having met each other, knowing where she used to live seemed to have more impact.

But listening to those words, Hiiro and Liliyn could grasp with certainty, the kind of existence Hiyomi was. The figure in black that had created the cause which dispossessed Nikki of her family.

Hiyomi seemed to conform to the figure in black. In Hiiros mind, it was already clear that Hiyomi was that person.

A light knock, Hiiro tapped a perplexed Nikki on her head and directed his words towards Hiyomi.

I see now. So, you are the damn bastard that took away this ones family

!?

Nikki looked up at Hiiro with tremendous vigour. Then, as if emitting a death agony, like a robot that has run out of oil, she slowly turned her head towards Hiyomi.

Th, that person isIkki and moms?

Aa, is not that right?

I dont understand what you are saying but, it is true that we had experimented with the monsters there. And then, there were two Bamboo Bears and a child nearby

Did they dress like now?

? That was so?

Now, there was no mistake. In thatBamboo Hill, a single person, clad in black had appeared. And while dressed in black, if he had gone there, used the monsters in his experiment, then there is only one answer.

Youuuuu!

An enraged Nikki had almost started to act recklessly when a clenched fist fell on top of her head. It was obviously the person by her side, Hiiro.

Ahhhhhh! Wh, what are you doing shishou?

[TN shishou is master, looked better to keep it that way

Also, the SFX above reads as No ~o~o~o~oh in the raw. Basically the sound of her screaming in pain]

Her face distorted into an adorable expression and she looked up with teary eyes. Hiiro crossed his arms and said while sighing.

It is ok to get angry. But protect the promise with me

Say what I have taught you one more time

if there is an enemy, I fight

And

It is ok to be angry. But dont lose patience

And

To put in effort for victory

finally

Absolutely do not die

While piling up words, the firmness in her face had disappeared. Looks like she had calmed down a bit.

Exactly. Also, he is not only YOUR enemy

Camus-dono

[TN dono is a polite form of addressing]

un, I too have persevered in order to bring him down. Nikkiyou are the same too, right?

Haidesuzo

[TN felt like saying Hai instead of yes sounded better here.

Hai is yes]

Normally, Hiiro would usePryto peek into his status but for some reason, it does not work on them. But the fact that he is not an ordinary person is transmitted through the air he exudes. What is more is that his presence could rival Leowald or Judoms.

Listen up you guys, that guy is powerful. Might even be at the level of the beast king. That is why, you might be discontent but, you guys fight together

At the level of the beast king

Mu

[TN it is sometimes tough to translate SFX sounds but well anyways, the mu SFX above was probably a dejected surprise kind of emotion Nikki displayed]

At Hiiros diagnosis, Nikki recalled the fight against Leowald and her face cramped and while Camus stayed expressionless, the depths of his eyes glittered.

This is war. Certainly, you wont say that you wont fight unless it is one-on-one, right?

Of course. Whoever the opponent, I will deal with it. Even more if that opponent detests me

Knowing so I am relieved. That is how it is. You guys defeat him. Your familys enemydestroy him

To Hiiros words, the two nodded strongly

In that case, follow me. I shall lead to a place where it is easy to fight

Saying that, Hiyomi jumped high and headed towards the west

HiiroI will go now. Sorry that I wont be by your side

It is nothing much. As long as you defeat him quickly and return

un. If I winwill you praise me?

Ha? say that after you win

Un

Aaaa! That is unfair! If I win, I too want a present, desuzo!

Like I said, say that after you win

Towards the tedious words of the two, a sigh escaped Hiiros mouth.

Kukuku, is not that ok, Hiiro? If a firm promise serves as good motivation, the results are desirable, arent they?

Thinking of it as someone elses problem

The two looked fixedly at him with upturned eyes. Taking a deep breath,

Got it. But only if you win

At that, the two smiled with satisfaction. Even Camus looked quite delighted, different from usual.

The two of you, do not push yourselves

Th, th, th, that is right! If it looks dangerous, please escape immediately

Silva and Shamoe spoke respectively

Nikki, it wont do if you lose!

Mikazuki said in a loud voice, trying to hide her anxiety

Leave it to me, desuzo! I will definitely win and receive my gift from Shishou

[TN shishou is master]

Un, definitely receive

The twos eyes fluctuated with a fierce flame.

The motives were impure, but will that be enough in exacting revenge on the enemy? Hiiro sighed unconsciously.

Lets go, Nikki

Yes, desuzo! Well then, we are off!

Seen off by everyone, the two followed after Hiyomi.

Well then, I shall also get going

Wrong. Weright?

Liliyn pressed

you really are coming?

Of course!

Since she did not have the disposition of being reasonable to anything being said, Hiiro gave up on trying to persuade her and decided to only concentrate on what to do next. Then, Hiiro looked up at the black swan in the sky. The other party also seemed to have realized the meaning of his gaze. It started to move as if to say, Follow me.

There is no other way. Well then lets go

When Hiiro turned his gaze towards Judom who was still leading the citizens, he was met with an understanding nod that seemed to imply to leave the things here to him.

Judom having to operate alone is definitely a worry but it could not be helped that Hiiro had to be at places. Hiiro being Hiiro had things he wanted to do and so he sorted out his priority.

By the way, Hiiro, why did you leave behind the yellow monkey inXaos?

Like she said, theSpiritthat always rode on Hiiros shoulders, Ten, is not here.

[TN Ten is Hiiros Contracted Spirit, the direct katakana translates as Ten, not Tenn]

I have told him to return and report to me about any movements

Ten is connected to Hiiros beloved sword Rending BladeZangeki and since they are connected, Ten can move to the location of the sword, no matter where Hiiro is. But it will be a one-way journey.

Something might happen inXaos?

Who knows, I left him behind to confirm that

Hmm, but is that ok? Without him here, you wont be able to use your sword to its fullest extent, right?

Not an issue. For that, I have trained until now

That is right, Hiiro had prepared himself for this kind of situation too. He acquired techniques that will let him fight with his own strength.

Even without Ten, Hiiro is equipped with sufficient power.

Well, if you are saying so, then it is ok, but if you fall behind and look like you are dying, then I will lend a hand

that is rare

Hm? What is?

You, caring about other peoples lives that much. Is it going to rain?

Hohou, in that case, shall I make it rain blood?

Her big pupils came glaring. Like a falcons, they narrowed and emanated blood thirst. As if to escape from such a Liliyn, Hiiro quickly moved his legs.

At the Imperial Castle, Avoros saw Hiiro chasing after the black swan.

U~n, moving as he pleaseswas a bit unexpected?

Originally, about now, he was supposed to have been waiting for Hiiros arrival at the Imperial Castle. But, because of his companions selfish actions, the plan got deviated somewhat.

What should be done?

Val Kiria No. 5 who was beside him, issued her apathetic voice.

N~since that boy showed so much interest, it means Hiiro Okamura is the real deal after all. Well, I think it is good enough even if it is just that one confirmation. Isnt that right, Hero-kun?

[TN maybe it is unnecessary but nonetheless, kun is a way of addressing, equivalent of Mr.]

Avoros called out to the person in front him who was staring at the leaving Hiiro with a shocked expression, Aoyama Taishi.

Th, that is Okamura!?

That is right. Isnt he amazing? Releasing that many citizens from hypnosis at one go. Normally that is impossible. Truly a heroic act of saving the citizens. Different from you

Kuu!

[TN frustration SFX]

The sound of grinding teeth could be heard emanating from Taishis mouth.

Hiiro Okamura is the hero of theEvila, a powerful person who single-handedly defeated the beast king. Also, a heroic person who valiantly fought in the war. On the other hand, while summoned as heroes, they were frightened by the horrors of war, unaware of the vastness and truth of the world. Instead of defeating the Demon Lord, got captured by her and became her subordinates. What an amazing life full of drama

Frustrated, Taishi wants to refute but in a situation where he cannot, he glared at Avoros. Amused at this, Avoros raised the corners of his mouth.

To fight you see, only power cannot save anything. It will be possible to save something for the first time when noble desires are combined. The you now, have power. Thenwhat about your desire?

I will definitely save Chika and the others

His entire body quivered as he yelled, as if trying to persuade himself.

then, that resolution, shall we test it? No. 5, the Transfer Gem

Here

No. 5 softly held out a fist-sized blue coloured gem. It is a rare magical tool upon breaking which, the last person to have touched it can transfer to any place he wishes.

[TN The gem could also be translated as stone, but gem sounds rarer]

Avoros receives it and hands it over to Taishi.

The job, I am wishing that it goes well, ex-Hero-kun?

I am stilla hero

Spitting out these words filled with remorse, Taishi took the gem and went outside.

Ahaha, now the board will become livelier. Come now, show me. The comedy called war! Ahahahahahaha!

[TN board as in a shogi board or a chess board. The war is being equated with a chess board]

Only the sound of Avoross sonorous laughter reverberated in the castle.
