Chapter 128 The Truth

 

Mannie Mouse.

Once a very famous character in the world, the girlfriend of Mackey Mouse.

She appeared wearing the costume of that foolish character, though the boyfriend is imprisoned there’s seems nothing change.

“Hey Mannie. Is the leader around? Is that true!” (Tyler)

“Of course, Tyler! You see, Mackey said if it’s him it would be interesting... or you can say, there’s no one else but him! He already got his stamp of approval after all ♪.  (Mannie)

Tyler and the others seemed has already regained their composure, the fourth great power. The leader that the humans, demons, and demi humans will abide and follow? Is that incomprehensible guy truly exists in this world?

“You see, that person is a lover of the princess of one of the big kingdoms in the human continent, also a lover of a former princess from one of the demon kingdom of the demon continent, and has the heir of the largest and strongest sword dojo from the demi human continent as his right hand♪”

Truly?! A dude that has that kind of crime like convenience exists?! Moreover he smoothly has some lovers, who is this bastard?

“Oi, idiot younger brother... could it be...” (Farga)

“Asakura... hey...” (Althea)

“Eh, lord?” (Musashi)                                           

“Huh? What’s up,  you guys... why staring me that much...” (Velt)

I mean, it’s not the time for that y’ know.  Manney is about to tell us the identity of the leader candidate for the fourth world po....we?

“I’ll announce it - - - - -- - -- - - NOW! DoURURURURURURURURURURURURU jaJAN! It’s Velt Jeeha-kun!” (Manney)

“Eh, what the heck! Wait a minute dammiiiiiitttt!” (Velt)

Without me knowing it, I stood up on the roof then shouted.

“Oh my?” (Yubamensch)

“A..... Ah~~~! It’s Velt-kun~~!” (Manney)

“Huh, Ve, Velt! Why are you here! Why are you in demi human continent!” (Tyler)

Shit, now I’ve been exposed. Even after went to that length to stay hidden. Can’t be helped.

I resigned myself then jumped down from the roof, I landed pretty close in front of those guys.

“Tch, Dammit” (Farga)

“Lord, I shall too!” (Musashi)

“Gyahahahaaha, so it’s Asakura! It’s so funny... wait, totes don’t leave me here!” (Althea)

Lured by that, Farga, Musashi, and Biyama gave up hiding and followed after me and showed themselves.  Maman, Sorushi and others were shocked by Musashi and Biyama’s coming while Tyler opened his eyes wide when he saw me and Farga.

“Velt..... also prince Varga!” (Tyler)

“Yo, Tyler. Things has turned a little bit too shitty, my head can’t follow it. What the fuck’s going on here?” (Farga)

“Prince...” (Tyler)

Being stared by Farga’s cold eyes that allow no deception, Tyler’s expression became slightly complicated.

Somehow, even if he has prepared for this, he still didn’t want this to be known. This kind of feeling can be felt from him. On the other hand, the Love and Money gang he brought with didn’t seem to come in peace after all.

“Vice president! This man... and then Velt Jeeha was if I’m not mistaken...”

“That’s right, he was the one who captured president at the Empire!”

“Don’t joke with me, this brat is our new boss!? Cut the crap!”

Ah seriously, that’s right. That damn Kagami, what is he thinking?

“Silence!” (Tyler)

At that moment, Tyler’s shout that can even shake the earth resounded. The members of Love and Money shuddered then fell silent.

“Don’t be impolite, this gentleman is Farga Erfarshia-sama. The first prince of  Elfarshia Kingdom. And as you all know this young man Velt is the fiance of Forna Elfarshia-sama, my Elfarshia Kingdom’s Princess, and will soon be a king candidate.” (Tyler)

Hey, so that setting is still alive! Though I used to say that a lot myself...

“Kuhahaha.... you always say that with serious look on your face since I was a kid... You haven’t change at all eh, really” (Velt)

“......Don’t use always use ‘you on me... call me uncle Tyler please, Velt” (Velt)

“Ug.... kh, ha, haha, I’m sorry.... truly, I’m always your cheeky brat you know of....” (Velt)

But today it’s impossible...

“Really, I can’t believe it, General Tyler.” (Velt)

“Velt....” (Tyler)

“Why. Why are you having ties with Love and Money? You should have already known what they are doing!” (Velt)

 “Yeah, I know” (Tyler)

“Damn, messing up with Musashi’s home country also attacking the Empire Capital, hundreds of people died.... Gau and Shii too, they are dead!” (Tyler)

TL note: Gau and Shii are Velt’s classmates during the childhood period in which he went to school at Erfarshia kingdom. Died when the Imperial Capital got attacked by the combined force of Cyclops and Love and Money

“Yeah, I understand.”

“.... Does Shout also know about this?”

“No, he doesn’t”

I never know.

When one’s anger went over the limit... rather than to be in rage, one will become sad instead.

“Wh... hy... why, did you...?”

It is something that I, myself didn’t realize.

How many years has it been? I, in front of others, began shedding tears.

“You’ve always, ever since I was a kid.... even pops and mom... ever since they both died, before going to work you always visit their grave every morning....” (Velt)

I can’t even think of what to say. In its place, I kept saying random things.

When I was little, I was caught doing a prank on the road then he gave me a shoulder ride while bringing me to the guards.

When I got into a fight with Shout and made him cried, rather than got angry you just made a big loud laugh.

Even though you’re representing the kingdom as it’s general, ever since my parents died you kept worrying about me.

“Chill your head, idiot younger brother” (Farga)

“Farga...” (Velt)

“It’s not like he went mad. So it’s not anything weird” (Farga)

As he said that, Farga grabbed my head. Embracing it as if saying to stay strong.

“That’s right. There’s nothing wrong in your eyes, Tyler. It’s just, there are thing that we don’t know about him, That’s all.” (Farga)

“Prince....” (Tyler)

“Although just a bit, I and this stupid brother of mine have seen the world. It is a messy world but... I understand that there are some things that you need to say. So, tell us everything.” (Farga)

Without hiding anything, tell us everything truthfully. To those Farga’s words that is  alike an order, Tyler nodded.

“Firstly, I expect the King also already know about my plans. Though I’m part of the Great Human Alliance’s force I didn’t get dispatched, that is the cause.” (Tyler)

“Bet. You don’t seem to be hiding it. It’s just... it’s merely something I didn’t realize” (Farga)

“No, my Prince. Though I didn’t mean to hide it, I also didn’t mean to publicly announce it. Love and Money’s bad reputation has become too big, as expected I would be monitored by Elfarshia Kingdom.” (Tyler)

“Since when? Since when did you get involved?” (Farga)

“Since five years ago” (Tyler)

“Five years ago you said?” (Velt)

Five years ago.

What happened five years ago?

There were too many crossroads in my life at that time.

“Ever since the fall of one of the Four Divine Beast Guardian’s Kaizer and of Seven Great Demon King’s Sharkryu, I’ve hypothesized this. In near future, the wars that have been going on for hundreds of years will come to an end.... And everything will come to perish.” (Tyler)

Yes, that. That kind of over the roof development, under what kind of story will something like that unfold? That’s what we want to know.

“Prince, firstly, I assume you already know about the stories that once in the divine continent, the gods lived there? And that exact continent is overflowing with resources and magic crystals, a truly bountiful land.  The territory of that continent is being fought over, that is the gist of what’s the war between three races is about.” (Tyler)

Aah, that’s the general knowledge of the world. Ever since children, that was what’s being taught.

“However, actually... it’s not just mere stories the gods did indeed lived there once.” (Tyler)

So it comes to that... without realizing I even can’t tsukkomi.

“Even so, on the surface world, the humans, demons, and demi humans keep on propagating, gaining wisdom and starting each of their own civilizations. That looming threat finally made even the gods afraid. At that time the gods proposed friendship to the three races and they abided. However, due to the differing in the races’ fears and speed of propagation, the conferred lands and resources became insufficient, leading up to the beginning of conflict between fellow races.” (Tyler)

“It can’t be, the myth that sounds like some fairytale from who knows when is still continuing now, is that what you are trying to say?” (Farga)

“That is correct. Also, at that time the divine race was in fear. The other races’ propagation and conflicts will keep repeating then three races that keeps on devouring world’s resources will in the end destroy the whole world. Therefore, the divine race made a decision. They will let the three races face the destruction of the surface world. Making the world return to zero once again.” (Tyler)

Making the world return to zero once again. Truly the gods’ pretentious way of thinking. However, how do they going to destroy the races?

“The divine race has their own troops however raising troops to destroy the three races I assume it will cost them too much casualties. Therefore, they made a long term plan to destroy the three races. And that is...” (Tyler)

“To make us use our own hands to destroy ourselves, letting the three races warring each other, after they did the divine race would return. Is that what you mean?” (Farga)

Acknowledging what Farga said wasn’t mistaken, Tyler made a slight nod.

Oi oi oi oi oi, why are you are talking about something entirely different with such serious face?

 “All members of divine races went and seal themselves. The ones who safeguard that seal are the ones so called as the descendants of the divine race, the sky race, the subterranean race, the deep sea race, and then the cryptid people.” (Tyler)

“I see. The sky race is truly angels. That makes the cryptid people as.... I don’t know what led them to live in demi human continent but, the reason Love and Money destroyed the High Elves  is not only because money, it is also to undo a part of  the seal of the divine race.” (Farga)

“....... I won’t deny it. One part of the top brass did it forcefully. It was because we were unable to discover the existence of the sky world, the subterranean world, the deep sea world and others no matter what we did.” (Tyler)

At that time, something felt stuck in my head. The reason for Chirotan appeared in the sky world and tried to conquer it, was it purely to taking it over or not is still unknown. Hell, we won’t try to ascertain it now.

“Aah dangit, it’s too much of a fantasy I almost can’t keep up. I mean, be careful with the way you’re saying it. If you are saying it like that, it’s as if Musashi’s family was killed.... as if its done just by chance you know.” (Velt)

“Velt...” (Tyler)

“Well, let’s put it at that, there are two things that being the main problem here. That myth like story you guys talking about, why do you know about it? Also, in the end what’s that has anything to do of with Love and Money?” (Velt)

Right, those two questions are what’s the most important. In the first place, that kind of legend isn’t even taught at school, how can Tyler know about it? And even if all of it was true, what’s the connection of it with Love and Money?

“First, why do I know such information? As one of the human continent’s Six Holy Knights, we were informed of it by the king we serve. Unlike 10 Heroes of Light, we are not ones to participate in the world’s great war, instead we inform the world of the truth as dictated by the [Holy King].” (Tyler)

Holy King?  Crap, who the heck is that. For once, I feel like never hearing that name appear in the school textbook though....

“And next, the other question. Regarding Love and Money. As I said earlier, as the world’s military balance is starting to crumble, it is to create a new force. However, as they are the ones that walk on path of righteousness, they need to throw themselves to the war in the divine race continent. That’s why, to recruit capable personnel, we need capable people that does not participate on the front stage such as pirates and bandits, mercenary, hunter etc. Of course in the gathering such fellows, at times there are those who went on a rampage, there were also times when they can’t be fixed at all.” (Tyler)

“.....Aah, that’s right. You all are those that had been spoiling president.” (Mannie)

“Actually we planned to recruit demi humans and demons at a more later time. By trading for demi human’s culture and specialty products we wanted the demi humans to profit and building up their trust... well, the negotiations didn’t go well though” (Tyler)

Ah....

At that moment, my eyes and Biyama’s met. Could it be, it’s about when Kagami was proposing to trade with Biyama for fashion stuff, so that’s the reason?

And like that, as time goes by they will earn demi human’s trust however in today’s case they need to resort to take strong measure, making Tyler came all the way here because they don’t have the time anymore. 

If it’s like that, we return back to the beginning then. Well, that stuff at the beginning, no matter how many times I hear it I still damn don’t know the meaning.

“Asakura... ya see, it’s pain in the ass fantasy yea. I mean, it’s totes like very ambiguous.” (Althea)

“To think my opinion is the same as that black gyaru bitch. I was thinking that too” (Velt)

“I know right” (Althea)

I mean, I’m something of a leader here, I absolutely hate Kagami. I can even imagine him laughing his ass off while being inside the prison.

Right at this moment I have the urge to thrash that remade mug of him.

TL note: Kagami somehow changed his face to be the same as when he was on earth
