Chapter 154 The Journey Start of the Strongest, The Most Insane, And The Unluckiest

 

A reunion with the pal from the previous world after two years. However, the ones who are happy for the reunion are just us two, Kaa-kun and especially Kagami are at the height of their confusion instead.

“Eeh~, so, soo, one of the candidates for the strongest among the Seven Great Demon Kings, that Demon King Kishin, so he was actually Murata-kun?” (Kagami)

“Phweew, Mister Kagami.  To think even you’re here, it’s quite the ironic destiny we have.” (Kishin)

TL Note: Phweew, is whistling here.

“Uwah, uwaah~, it really is Murata-kun, no doubt about it. How did you went and become someone that big?” (Kagami)

“It’s not like that, right now me’s only a wandering demon. Me being a Demon King is already a story from very long ago.” (Kishin)

“I heard this from Asakura-kun but, that already dead Demon King Sharkryuu was actually Samejima, what the heck is this? Ain’t it friggin’ terrific? To think that inside the Seven Great Demon Kings, two of them actually classmates from another world.” (Kagami)

“Ooh, Mister Samejima, that karateman. Me didn’t really talk to him much so there’s not much me can remember, so it was actually like that.” (Kishin)

Now that I think about it, this is also these guys’ reunion since previous world. It’s their reunion after decades.

The two of them who had walked their far too thick lives in this other world, still actually remember their previous classmates after tens of years so properly.

Well, these two guys are quite the thick chaps themselves after all.

“What the, I’m so surprised that Velt-kun actually have connections with Demon King Kishin-zou. However, that jailer a while ago had said that there is no one called Kishin in the history of Jigoku Demon Kingdom’s Demon Kings, so what is the meaning of this-dazou?” (Kaizer)

As we were marveling in our encounter, Kaa-kun added by putting his question into words.

And then, despite Kimomen recognized that Milco has a [bounty] on his head, he only titled his head in confusion towards the title of [Demon King].

“I never fought against Jigoku Demon Kingdom but even in the Demihuman Continent the name of Demon King Kishin was well known-zou.  It might be not strange if the Demon King has already retired but to not even know that he is the Demon King, what could this be-dazou?” (Kaizer)

“I- I don’t know that even if you ask me-ndana. The Demon King of the Jigoku Demon Kingdom is called Kiroro, she is a cute ogre girl that became the Demon King, and before that she was....... who was she again? I can’t remember but at least I never heard of someone called Kishin-dana.” (Kimomen)

“What the..... there should be a limit for ignorance-zou.... well then, what about the bounty thou talked before?” (Kaizer)

“That’s, umm, if I’m not mistaken it was two years ago in the Divine Race Continent, he was the terrorist who tried to destroy the relationship between the Jigoku Demon Kingdom and Great Human Alliance Army who both had decided to reconcile, he had dealt a large damage to both the demons and humans all by himself, he was called the Vagrant Demon since, a criminal-nandana. It’s just, no one has been able to catch him so his bounty has only soaring up-dana.” (Kimomen.

Kagami also inclined his head hearing the conversation between Kimomen and Kaa-kun.

However, me and Milco closed our eyes and recalled what happened two years ago. The day when we lost everything.

“Kaa-kun, and Kagami, what Kimomen said isn’t wrong at all.” (Velt)

“Asakura-kun?” (Kagami)

“For a certain reason, two years ago.... because of the magic the Holy Knights unleashed upon the world, the memories of two men was wiped off the world, and then by the work of Love and Peace, the history has been altered.” (Velt)

Yeah, those two men are me and this guy.

“Two years ago, we arrived upon the truth of the world and then the two of us who refused to cooperate..... [Remote Control Velt] and [Rock Demon King Kishin], we both got our existences forgotten by the entire world.” (Velt)

I can’t forget about it but I don’t want to remember it, that was the very day I lost everything.

But, it must be not enough with only those words. And just like I expected, Kaa-kun and Kagami just stared in puzzlement.

“A- Asakura-kun, got forgotten, eh? You both got forgotten from the entire world?” (Kagami)

“That’s right. The Human Continent, Demon Continent, Demihuman Continent, and even the Divine Race Continent, a magic that covered the entire world in a strong memory manipulation spell was unleashed. Well, despite calling it a memory manipulation it’s just a simple thing. It’s just forgetting a certain individual. With it’s scope being the entire world, it seems that at most there are two or three people that the Holy Knights can’t erase the memories of among the human race but that’s already well enough.” (Velt)

“Then....  could it be, the reason because your friends hadn’t come despite you being imprisoned and Murata-kun’s existence as the Demon King got forgotten is because....” (Kagami)

“This magic, seems like it’s the last resort even for Tyler’s group. And by using the information Love and Peace got by temporarily managing all races, the magic was used for the sake of isolating the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans and the Seven Great Demon Kings that oppose and became hindrance to the plan. No matter how much of a Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans or Seven Great Demon Kings they are, once they got framed as a criminal and got isolated from their countries, they will be able to be got rid of and stepped on once they use their full strength. Love and Peace does that kind of maneuvering and ground works, their bribes to the royalties has also been perfected too it seems.” (Velt)

As a result of that, Milco who boasted an overwhelming authority lost everything, and Tyler’s group who had won over the demons installed a successor of their own.

“Still, it’s not like they be forgot the existence of the Demon King, since they gave someone else an influence rivaling that of Kishin, an existence that have influence in the fate of history, will it not be giving birth to no small numbers of doubts and contradictions-dazou?” (Kaizer)

“That’s right, that’s the part where this magic is terrifying, they [don’t feel doubts and contradictions], and along with memory manipulation this magic created a result that’s seems similar to illusion technique.” (Velt)

A fatherless child who had grown up without father won’t doubt that he is fatherless, they won’t even think of finding out who their father was, this case is something similar to that.

“That’s why, even I got forgotten. My childhood friends..... Farga, Ura, Musashi, Cleran,  Eljela..... even Forna.” (Velt)

Despite everyone still alive, and as our connections and memories got completely erased, everything has been lost.

I despaired at that kind of world and then got caught by Tyler and his group. No, it wasn’t Tyler and (his group).  The ones who caught me who was opposing the great cause of the continuation of the human race was....

“It’s such an irony. Thanks to that, despite I’m sad because of everyone losing their memories, on the other hand, there’s another part of me that think I that it shouldn’t return. ....... she..... she, the moment she learned of what I do, maybe.... she maybe won’t be able to hold it in..... she will be stuck in between her feelings to me and the continuation of humanity....” (Velt)

Actually I want her to remember. I want her to regain her memories.

“Even if she were to became my enemy...... I don’t want to see her suffering at all.” (Velt)

If she were to regain her memories now, maybe she won’t be able to rise back again......

“To- to think such a magic exist, it’s astonishing-zou.” (Kaizer)

“Yeah. But because it’s too strong, even the Six Holy Knights needed to combine their strength to only use it once in their life time. That seems the reason why they haven’t used it in the war all this long. However, two years ago..... if they just left me and Milco alone, all they did gonna blew up for nothing. That’s the reason they used the magic. They made Milco into a criminal. And then, at the same time, depending on my thoughts and acts, they will spread bad influence to the demons, demihumans, and Forna’s group, that’s what I feel uneasy at.” (Velt)

That messily connected relationship has been completed, it’s also the end of the line of the riajuu Velt Jeeha.

The one who is here right now is just a shitty brat with no connection at all.

It makes me wanted to pity, grief, cry, and laugh at myself.

However....

“But we still connected in this way eh, Milco.” (Velt)

“Yeah, it’s already like that, me’s only ally in this world is just you after all. Despite me managed to find  this prison that doesn’t exist in the maps, a long time of two years has been wasted in it.”  (Kishin)

“That’s fine. Thanks to that, I can get the time for my revival from a NEET into the society after all.” (Velt)

That’s right, I’ve already had plenty of feeling despaired. Felt enough of being timid. Enough of being contradicting.

And next all that’s left is just standing back up. Even if Forna and others have all forgotten me.

“Milco, Kaa-kun, Kagami, first we get out of here and then let’s wash our bodies off. Let’s get soaked in a hot spring.” (Velt)

“Pheew~ friggin’ nice, hot spring!” (Kagami)

“Hmh, I have no need of this filth smeared body-zou.” (Kaizer)

“And then, Ryuuma. What are you going to do once we done refreshing?” (Kishin)

After that, what do I do?

“After we refreshed ourselves to some degree, we will gather war funds, underlings......” (Velt)

I’ve decided it.... heck, I’ve already decided it since a while ago.

“I will conquer this world.”

........Crap, it’s a bit embarrassing saying it myself. What, am I a grade schooler! And sure enough, Milco and Kagami exploded in laugh. And with Kaa-kun nodded at that with a serious face is embarrassing in itself.

“A- anyway, let’s get to the shore right away. Once we get to the Human Continent there’s a hot spring that I know little bit. Well, the guys there already forgot about me though, I don’t know how it’s condition now but let’s just follow me.” (Velt)

“Hoo~, hot spring is friggin’ precious. Despite I had done quite a lot of business I still haven’t laid my hands on hot spring. As expected of Asakura-kun you’re quite the friggin’.” (Kagami)

“However, I worry that Kishin and I would not able to get in-dazou?” (Kaizer)

“Hey, you. Don’t sweat on small problems.” (Kishin)

A hot spring after two years huh..... Just what’s gonna happen there? I somehow feel nostalgic.

“And, where’s the place?” (Kagami)

“It’s at the foot of a mountain area in the old Shirom Kingdom. It was a declining village before but I dug up a hot spring, and after that the hunters seemed to commercialized it.” (Velt)

“Hah? Really really? You dug up a hot spring? What the heck with that kind of uncertain past development, friggin’!” (Kagami)

At that time, I still have everyone.... heck, stop it stop it, I’m gonna down bad again.

“Still, Shirom Kingdom eh, so nostalgic~  back when I was still the president of Love and Money I used them quite a lot.” (Kagami)

“I don’t quite in the know of the geography of Human Continent but if I’m not mistaken, the country isn’t quite far from the Empire, right-zou? I worry that things wouldn’t go well.” (Kaizer)

“Wha~t, it’s no problem. If we just stay quite everything’s gonna be fine.” (Velt)

“Me too think like that, Ryuuma.” (Kishin)

I decided that here only just now though.

“And also, Asakura-kun. If it’s about war fund I have a way~. If that hot spring is near the Shirom Kingdom then it’s quiet convenient. There’s that thing I’ve been hiding away from Tyler, my underground casino~. It’s my personal safe that I don’t tell about to anyone, quite a lot of treasures are sleeping in there.” (Kagami)

“Underground casino? Oi oi, Shirom already ruined right? And besides that, I heard this from the talk with Tyler but that Love and Peace has already changed, something like illegal drugs and underground casino had already been abolished you know? They seemed to aim for a clean organization.” (Velt)

“Ch ch ch, you’re friggin’ naive, Asakura-kun. An underground casino is after all underground casino. It’s just the rates there are high, those small timer rich won’t be able to get cards or do roulette, it’s a high end place. And what I made in my pastime is something even way more beyond that. With no connection to the organization, It’s an underground world I personally manage where it will only be told to extraordinary people.” (Kagami)

“You have many of that disgustingly evil heroic stories as always, well alright. A relationship of money will end when the money used up. Well, I’m gonna use it untill it all dried up.” (Velt)

Geez, just by hearing it I got quite bad feeling, well whatever. At this time I won’t be that much flustered by just some half assed surprise.

“Roger then. Firstly we’ll do some refreshing at hot spring, then we will use mister Kagami’s money and do the necessary preparations. But still, casino ..... gambling.... it makes me think of another one of my friend.” (Kishin)

“Well, I think it’s appropriate-zou. I don’t want to say money this money that but to rule over the Divine Race Continent and have the influence to move away the three races, the more the war funds we have the better-zou.” (Kaizer)

Still, I ended up making quite the strange group of four. I never thought that this kind of development could happen right on the first day.

Well, I’ve been stagnating for two years so it’s just right to run with full force right after.

With my feeling uplifted, I let out my magic power and then manipulate it. I’m now interfering the air, I’m able to comprehend all of the beings inside the scope of my perception, I even able to manipulate them.

I’ve been anxious about it. The thing that was confiscated from me, my brawling tool.

“Found it.” (Velt)

Fuwa Fuwa Move. At that moment, something broke through the prison’s wall and from the inside of the facility came two rods, they then flew to where I’m standing at.

These guys have been knocking over the heads of so many people all this while, my batons.

I’m now feeling their weights after quite a while not holding them. However, these are the very things that will be regarded as the cursed swords of the man that gonna conquer the world have.

I put the holsters on the right and left sides of my waist and then store them there. Ooh, it’s quite fitting.

“Whoops, this isn’t the place where we can just stay and being all leisure about, you know?” (Kishin)

“Hm? It’s a warship-dazou. Hmh, it appears that the Great Human Alliance Army made haste to arrive here after receiving the contact-zou. However, by seeing the flag...... it appears that there is no Ten Heroes on board-zou.” (Kaizer)

“Ararara~, well, it’s not that big though. How about it? Do we crush it? Or we just pass through it?” (Kagami)

Geez, I don’t want to become a criminal.

We don’t have time to be at leisure after all.

“Milco.” (Velt)

“Hm?” (Milco)

“Live things up. Grab me a song with high tension. We’ll..... break through straight away.” (Velt)

“Fuh, ookay. Well then, firstly I’ll fire things up with my favorite song, Rock n’ Roll Fantasy!” (Kishin)

That’s right, let’s blast away this depressed feeling and start our rebellion.

Just say it, who the hell can stop us now.
