Chapter 177 Ex-wife and Former Wife

 

Chapter 177 Ex-Wife and Ex-Madam

 

The battleships facing us are ten. Their appearance that looks magnificent and profoundly equipped and decorated, makes one’s eyes being robbed even if they don’t have any particular interest in ships.

I don’t know how many hundreds or tens of thousands of soldiers are riding on each ships but, the military formation that leaves not even a crack for an ant in it’s arrangement gradually tightening up to completely surround the island.

They’re not being bothered by the difficulties normal ship would face like the sludge and sea monsters and keep on piercing through.

“Aaah, this is real shit huh.” (Velt)

Cannon attacks resounded. Soldiers on the size of humans come jumping out and crushing the sea monsters that came swarming.

This, it’s just a matter of time till they get here.

“Velt-kun, bad news!”

“Yeah, I’m seeing it.”

Arusha came with her expression clouded, and behind her are Kishin and the others coming closer without being particularly troubled.

“Hmmmh, so it’s Makai Demon Kingdom.”

“What ya gonna do, bro?” (Jackpot)

“Pheeew! It’s quite the sudden surprise huh, Velt. Should me and others give chase?” (Kishin)

“Hihahahahahaha, uwwah, ain’t this bad! I might be getting so much glare from them because of what happened two years ago!” (Mackey)

“Fuhahahaha, nice nice, keep ‘em comin’ one after another.” (Jackpot)

Now then, what should we do? We can also just ride on Yuzuriha’s back and get out of here though.

I mean, frankly even though we got besieged like this, we don’t really feel afraid or anything.

Well of course, seeing the members that are here, ‘a mere ten battleships?’ making that kind of thought appeared in my mind.

“But, since Ura’s also there, it makes me want to see a glance of her. Well, even if we’re being surrounded by ships, we can just fly and run away after all.” (velt)

“Eh, Princess Ura? How can you know something like that?” (Arusha)

“Hm, but, it seems it’s going to be difficult to escape to the sky-dazou.” (Kaizer)

Pushing through the clouds in the sky, small shadows could be seen scattered around here and there.

What are those?

“The, the ship is flying.!”

“No way, really?’ (Althea)

“Oh, ooooooh.”

“Hihahaha, what the heck is that, friggin’! Even I can’t make something like that! Just who?”(Mackey)

We’re doubting our eyes. That is not an airship. It is a ship.

A huge ship not losing to the demon’s battleship in it’s arms appeared from the sky, casting a huge shadow upon the island.

And at that moment, from that ship something small keep coming out in succession.

“Those are..... angels?” (Velt)

As I spontaneously muttered that, they flap their big white wings, and surround this island’s airspace one after another.

Their numbers, one hundred? Two hundred? Hey hey, what the heck is happening!

“The sky race!”

There’s no mistake. Just like Eljela, they’re sky soaring battle maidens!

Why are they even here?

“Hah? Eh? Really really! So friggin’! The sky race, that one from the legends? Eh, you serious?” (Mackey)

“Im, impossible! Sky race? Just what has happened to the world in the time I wasn’t there-zou! The legendary angels, why are they on the surface! It’s unbelievable-zou!” (Kaizer)

This is so bad. But, what’s really happening here?

“I can understand with Makai Demon Kingdom coming here to capture Lagaia. I also can understand that Love and Peace here for their duty because these seas is close to the Human Continent. But, why now even the angels appeared here?”

Lagaia is indeed a big shot. He was the leader of the attack in the Empire two years ago, and furthermore he made an equal match against that Forna. There’s no mistake that in human words, he holds power of the Ten Heroes class.

But, even so, why are the angels here?

“Velt-kun, just now, I heard you said something about Prince Lagaia so casually there.” (Arusha)

“........Uwoooooaah, hihahahaha! What? What what! The guy over there is Prince Lagaia? Eh, that white haired dirty brat, is Prince Lagaia? Friggin’ friggin’! Just what he’s up to?” (Mackey)

“OH~, so he’s that special boy who got the blood of Demon King Noppera and a human.” (Kishin)

Arusha and others finally realized the existence of Lagaia, and become faint.

And Mackey, they were cooperating with each other in the attack on the Empire two years ago, so they’re compatriots.

So of course, they’d be surprised.

“What the, to think that boy over there is a prince of a Demon Kingdom, it sure is surprising-dazou. But, why that kind of personage is here?” (Kaizer)

“Mister Kaizer, I’ve heard something about it. Lagaia of Makai Demon Kingdom. While he is a cyclops he has double eyes, A cursed boy he is. And because of that, he seemed to be quite hated.” (Kishin)

“Hihahahaha, could it be, because you failed in that attack two years ago, you made your country acquired a big loss and then you lost your standing? So then they made you to take responsibility for it and when it seems you’re about to be executed you escaped? So, those over there are your pursuers? You shouldn’t have done anything bad huh~.” (Mackey)

No well, Mackey. Despite you saying he shouldn’t have done anything bad, you’re the one who instigated him in the first place.

As expected, if one calmly thinks about it, he sure did something very nasty.

“But, if it’s indeed like that then it is as Velt-kun said, we don’t understand the reason why even the sky race came here. The scale is too large for capturing Prince Lagaia. Could it be, they have another objective in mind?” (Arusha)

That’s right, their objective might not only Lagaia.

“Yeah, I think so too. With this kind of scale, they’d go after either the Seven Great Demon Kings or the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans....... heck, we got two here huh.” (Velt)

Kaa-kun and Kishin are here. Kaa-kun himself is a rippin’ roarin’ Heavenly Beast Demihuman himself, and while despite having memories about him being erased, Kishin is a candidate for the strongest of the Seven Great Demon Kings.

If their existence were to be known to the world, it won’t be surprising if things could become this large of a scale.

“OH~, then, are you trying to say they are here to capture me and Mister Kaizer?” (Kishin)

“Well, my apologize-zou.” (Kaizer)

“It’s in the end just a possibility. Well, guys on this island other than Lagaia are all brats and uncles, tattered and of unknown origins, and also Auriga huh. After all this long, I don’t think those guys gonna think about Auriga now.” (Velt)

And among them, it seems there are those of quite rare races and mixed blood blending it but, even so to move that much military force for them is something not worth it, well if it’s for Kaa-kun and Kishin then its certain though.

“Heey, what do we do, Velt. You totes making me got involved in this. Spare me from that will you!” (Biyama)

“Still, I’d like to avoid being in a situation where Kishin-kun and others got captured-jano.” (Barnando)

“Hey, Velt-kun, if Love and Peace also here than I’d like to try to attempt a negotiation.” (Arusha)

Well, it’s depends on the attitude of the other party.

In the end we didn’t force our way through or anything, and just stood by at that place

I mean, despite things being that much important, each one of them are all so calm.

And Lagaia, he seems to have already accepted his fate, he doesn’t even move.

“Aren’t you going to escape? All of you.”

At that time, Auriga who has already left everything to fate just like Lagaia asked toward us.

However, in his eyes, compared to the gloomy feel they had yesterday, now has a slight feel of being relieved can be felt in it.

“So you won’t escape?” (Velt)

“Yeah. I’ve had enough. Because I able to meet with all of you. I’ll cast my fate along with this island. Well, I don’t have any reason to be arrested though.” (Auriga)

It’s as he said. He didn’t do any particular crime, his name also wasn’t known to the world. He is close to be unknown to the demons and sky race.

As long as those guys don’t do anything so unilaterally.......

“I myself, am a legitimate royalty of the strongest, unrivaled strength! The second prince of the Makai Demon Kingdom, Steroi!”

Uwoah! Tha, that made me surprised!

“Wha, what the!”

“My ears!”

“So loud. Real friggin’ voice.” (Kagami)

That sudden reverberating voice, made the wind and seas astir, and slightly made the island trembled.

Who let out that stupidly loud voice?I look ahead while pushing down my ears and having a sharp buzzing sound in my eardrums, on the bow of a ship just several hundred meters away from the island, a form of a human is there but, he’s actually a cyclops of staggering width, standing there imposingly.

“The driven away disgrace that endangers the existence of my Makai Demon Kingdom, oh my little brother Lagaia, I know you are there! Surrender yourself quietly! There is no way for you to escape from this besiege!” (Steroi)

His width is one as if so many sumo wrestlers being fused together. However, he isn’t fat. His body isn’t round. He has spiky hair like a crocodile, red black skin, and a single eye.

What he wears on his body isn’t armor, but toga.

“I mean, like the time with Zetsuki, do the demon race likes to announce their own name to the crowds and before giving a speech?” (Velt)

“Hihahaha, Velt-kun, that’s the pride of a warrior ‘ight.” (Mackey)

“Hm? Hey Velt. Look at that eyeglasses boy next to the muscle boy. He is also a prince.” (Kishin)

“He is, I also know him. If I’m not mistaken he is the fourth prince, Prince Galiga.” (Arusha)

The cyclops that Kishin pointed at next to that sekitori division sumo wrestler is wearing eyeglass on his single eye, a thin and young cyclops.

He seems to have calm demeanor but for some reason, he is grinning so broadly.

“Fufu, Steroi-sama. There is no need to going out of your way to ask him surrender. As lord father said, he didn’t mind for him to be rid of, did he?” (Galiga)

“Hahhahha, don’t say stupid things, Galiga. It is easy for us to kill him. However, that won’t make our names be known to the whole kingdom. In the presence of Love and Peace we will capture that scum, and then in front of the whole populace of the kingdom we will execute him publicly, that will bring a meaning to it.” (Steroi)

“I see. As I would expect of elder brother Steroi.” (Galiga)

So those two are the bosses huh.

Well, it’s true that compared to the other cyclops around they’re looking somewhat different.

But, to be honest, I don’t see much threat from them.

If it’s the demons of the same class, comparing them to Kishin and Zetsuki’s overwhelmingly intimidating air, they seem to be kind of within acceptable limits.

“Hey, Lagaia. They said all those stuff but what will you do?” (Velt)

“................it’s such a pain to get up......” (Lagaia)

It’s such a weird thing.

They might came from different mothers but, even if those guys have that kind of attitude to the younger brother, the younger brother also has this kind reaction towards his older brothers.

There’s so many kinds of family in this world huh.

At least, it feels like a family relationship that doesn’t exist in Velt Jeeha’s life.

“Hmph, that glum scum doesn’t respond as always. I don’t mind, we’re landing!” (Setoroi)

“Really, to think that we, the proud royalties, need to step our feet onto this garbage island, that scum truly keep giving us so much trouble.” (Galiga)

The ships keep getting closer to the island with no interference, one by one the human shaped cyclops set their feet on the island.

If I’m not mistaken, the usual cyclopes are one cell brained giants, and these guys with size the same as humans and have intellect are called the high cyclops, even among cyclops they’re something of a chosen beings or so I heard.

One hundred, two hundreds, one after another they landed.

But, honestly, even with the cyclopes coming closer in front of my eyes, I still feel it’s alright.

The problematic one is, the one who came together with these guys.......

“What are you doing, Prince Steroi, Prince Galiga, it would trouble us if you go ahead by yourselves. Have you forgotten that this plan is in cooperation with the sky race?”

Yeah, that’s right, it’s this one.

Just by seeing her form makes me feel relaxed and warming up my heart.

It’s been two years since. So she’s seventeen now huh. She has already become a splendid woman.

I wonder why. Well, she’s his daughter after all, and ever since we’re kids she’s like a little sister,  I also have come to see her like a daughter too.

Yeah, this is deeply moving.

I’ve always wanted to meet her......

“Ooh, my my, the two princesses. My deep apologize, we weren’t able to hold ourselves and did a jumpstart.” (Steroi)

...............hm?

“That’s right. I think it is exactly because everyone combining their strength together that only then there would be a meaning to it.”

Huh?

No, well, cyclopes’ ships are getting closer to the island, with one ship being on the back also coming closer.

That’s Love and Peace’s ship. Yeah, and because I’ve already heard about her I feel fine about it.

But, why is she also here?

A fellow angel like the battle maidens that surround the sky. That woman is walking next to my ex-wife and also alighted onto the island.

“Whoa, what what, what’s that! For real! Real racks! Friggin’ friggin’!” (Kagami)

“What the, that onee-chan! Hu, huuuge!” (Jackpot)

“........oi, trash......... those....... are fake right? They are fake right?” (Yuzuriha)

It’s not surprising that everyone got shocked.

Compared to that, Yuzuriha’s who are flat as plains, she might be unable to comprehend it but, those are real stuff.

Those two watermelon cups are real! I mean, they’re the same as always, huge.......

“Hey, you don’t have to come here. It’s true that we seek your help when you’re visiting your hometown but there’s no need for you to go out of your way to come to the front, just wait with that child inside the ship. If something were to happen to you, Cosmos will be sad.”

“But of course, I won’t push myself. However, I, right now...... I got into a scuffle with Cosmos......”

“Hm? Scuffle........ what happened?”

“Yes. Recently, we went to a park at Elfarshia Kingdom to play, and she got teased by the neighborhood kids because she doesn’t have a father, and since that time she became sulky.”

“I see...... that well....... for that child, she has many older brothers and sisters but......... she only doesn’t have a father.”

“Yes. For sky race it is something that can’t be helped but for her, she still unable to understand that it seems, and so oftenly, she kept shouting [I have a papa!] while crying. Truly, how can I do anything for her.”

Hey, guys, this isn’t some idle chat among neighborhood moms near a trash disposal you know?

Or so the retort I’d like to give her, she is really my former wife.

“Hahhahha. I’d like you to leave this place to us but, Princess Ura, Princess Eljela, I think it would be better if you get a bit of better grip of yourselves, you know?” (Steroi)

Yes, Ura...... and ...... Eljela.

My ex-wife and former wife are both appeared at the same time.

“Princess Ura! Please, I hope that princess herself won’t be taking the front too much!”

“It is a she said-nari. Right now, Princess Ura is irreplaceable to the demon race.”

“Well, it is our duty to protect her ain’t it!”

Th, those guys! Eh um, I forgot their names! If I’m not mistaken aren’t they Ura’s comrades I met two years ago?

Royal stuff or something!

“Ooh, my my, what a magnificent view. [Rumba the Magic Gunner], [Bardo the Summoner], and [Jonga the Karate Fighter]. It is too much of a wonderful lineup for the sake of subjugating my younger brother isn’t it? Ura-sama.” 

“Prince Steroi. That’s natural isn’t it? Our objective isn’t only Lagaia. [that Demon King] who’s been missing for these two years is also on this island. The magicians that hold perception abilities are finally able to find [him]. Of course we need to put up our vigilance.” (Ura)

“Ooh, I did heard some news about [that Demon King] being in this island but, with this me around, that single cell brain Demon King will be defeated with just a single twist of mine. There is no need to make the Sky Race to lend their help here, isn’t there?” (Steroi)

Hm? Just now, what did Ura say? [That Demon King]?

 “Please don’t say as such. We also have a kind of fate with that grotesque looking monster. It is for that reason that we came all the way down to the surface. Please leave them to us.”

“Hehe, that dotard, leave him to us! Right? Eljela. Besides, for the sulky Cosmos, I want to make her think that her aunt is amazingly strong! Still, this sure is a dirty place, right? Is everyone from the surface like this?”

Those two! If I’m not mistaken, they’re Eljela’s big sisters! I forgot their name but I remember when they said dick dick dick dick!

Whoooa, ain’t that quite the wonderful lineups. I mean, who’s [that Demon King]?

No no no, rather than that, I’m really at my wits end with seeing those totally unexpected guys here.

“Kukukuku, oi, you who are squatting over there, it’s unsightly! Rise your head...... hm? Who are you all?” (Steroi)

Our guests, the world famous VIPS take the lead from the front and parading down over to this place.

They then finally arrived in the front of the crouching Lagaia, and realized our existence.
