Chapter 178 Big Brother

 

The guests finally perceived our existence in their field of vision.

“Wh, who are....... I mean, who might you be.......”

At that moment, Ura who sees our appearance in disguise with black suits, sunglasses, and hats, pays attention to a certain person.

And she is Arusha.

“It’s been a while, Princess Ura. When do we last met I wonder?” (Arusha)

“Pr, princess of the Empire, Princess Arusha! Why, are you here! No, more than that, you are fine!” (Ura)

Ura was surprised when seeing Arusha took off her sunglasses and hat but, what’s with [you are fine]?

“I heard that you went missing! While you were in the middle of a mission with your team you were hit by an underground cave-in and conflagration........ the newspaper and Great Human Alliance Army were all about it!” (Ura)

“Ah, I, I see. Yes, it must be like that. Despite things got treated like that, I ended up neglecting it all, aren’t I.” (Arusha)

“N, no, well, no one thought that you’d die with just that much but..... still, why are you here! No, with that outfit, just who are the guys you’re together with?” (Ura)

Who are we? Ooh, now that I think about it, who are we when we’re all lumped together?

A country? A team? Well, whatever is fine.

“They’re friends.” (Arusha)

“What?” (Ura)

Towards Arusha’s words, we all smiled while nodding our heads.

“Hohou, so you are the True Hero Roa’s little sister, one of the Ten Heroes of Light from Arclein Empire, Arusha Arclein. The person known as [Ice Empress of Miracles].” (Steroi)

Lame! The sekitori cyclops is spouting something like a bigshot but, Arusha, you, so you got that kind of lame nickname?

“Puh, Ice Empress of Freckles?” (Velt)

“It’s not something I thought of myself! If you put it like that, Remote Control is even weirder!” (Arusha)

“That’s also isn’t something I thought of myself!” (Velt)

Arusha seems to get irritated with me because I laughed spontaneously.

But, Ura who is seeing our exchange is making a mystified expression herself.

“Y, you seem surprised. So you also can make that kind of expression huh?” (Arusha)

“Eh?” (Ura)

“No well, when you were talking with Forna and the guys from the Empire, I always thought that you were more of a cool type.” (Arusha)

Well, she is [cool beauty] (lol) after all.

“But, it’s good to see you healthy more than anything, Princess Arusha.” (Eljela)

“Imperial Princess Eljela......” (Arusha)

TL note: I don’t know why but Arusha really did said Imperial Princess

“And, so, why are you here? Also, who are those personages?” (Eljela)

Eljela smiled softly then asked the main question.

What are we doing here? She asked.

What should we answer towards that question?

“We don’t have any business with you all. We just came here with a certain objective in mind, all these things about Prince Lagaia, we only learned it just now.” (Arusha)

“Oh my, is that so?” (Eljela)

“It is. Therefore, I’d like you to just keep quiet and let us pass.” (Arusha)

Yeah, that’s so. It’s not like it got anything to do with us.

Be it these guys or Lagaia.

That’s why, just keep quiet and let us pass through. Seeing Ura and Eljela with a glance is enough after all.

“Hmh hmh, hoh. Hey Princess Ura, these people, they have demon, demihumans, and also humans, are they related with Love and Peace?” (Steroi)

“Hm? N, no, I’m hesitant to say if they’re unrelated, but, other than Princess Arusha I don’t know anyone else.” (Ura)

“Is that so? They have quite, some strong people among them but...... well its fine. We’ll save the self introductions for later, but the problem is, you. Lagaia!” (Steroi)

At that moment, passing by us, he stood in front of Lagaia who is looking down, this man named Steroi, he looks down on Lagaia as if seeing a bug on trash, and in the next moment, with his thick foot he kicked on Lagaia’s face.

“This disgrace of a cyclops!” (Steroi)

“!!”

The small bodied Lagaia vigorously flew over and tumbled.

From the kicked part of Lagaia’s head, blood is flowing out in large amount, however despite that, Steroi stepped over the collapsed Lagaia without mercy.

“This filthy mixed blood! This failure born from a lowly birth slave has forgotten the hands that feed him, how dare you annoy our hands so!” (Steroi)

“Guh, tks, uugh!” (Lagaia)

Lagaia doesn’t resist at all. And Steroi threw all sorts of abuse towards him, stepped on him, inflicting him pain.

“He, hey, aren’t you doing it too far! Isn’t it fine with Lagaia already being captured?” (Ura)

“I do not quite know that person over there but, if you are a family bonded by blood, wouldn’t it be good if you show mercy?” (Eljela)

I understood their objective of capturing Lagaia but, it’s out of my expectations that they’d unilaterally torment him, Ura and Eljela got flustered and try to stop him but Steroi won’t stop.

“Hmph, it is futile to meddle here. Besides, family? Not even once have I ever thought of this lowly birth maggot as a family.  And not only that, he went and got cajoled by that fool of a scum Mackey Mouse, he is the main perpetrator that made my kingdom got into crisis. Even a capital punishment would be too lukewarm. He has stained our pride, therefore towards this maggot who has made our kingdom fall from grace, there is a need to make him taste the suffering of hell itself!” (Steroi)

Aah, that’s right. That brat attacked Empire’s capital, and made Gau and Shi died.

If that brat had killed Frona, I’d absolutely going to do the same thing.

It’s all that shitty brat fault.

“Hihahahaha, by the way~, Velt-kun, the one who approved of that attack against Empire was, the very Demon King-sama of Makai Demon Kingdom himself, the one who appointed Lagaia was also Demon King-sama too. Well, it seems he intended to push all the responsibilities to  him if everything failed though.” (Mackey)

Mackey whispered to my ear, it was a really disgusting story.

So inside his family he is a lizard’s tail that can be cut off huh. Well, they don’t think of him as family huh.

However, even if it was something that’s being instructed to him, the fact that he did it remains true.

Yeah, it’s unmistakenably so.

“This piece of trash! There’s no one that will accept you! Also, that something One-eyed Demon Children Corps that you assembled in a make believe play, then led, and grew fond to, you know they’ve always resent you all along!” (Steroi)

“Kh, guh........ Steroi......nii-sama......” (Lagaia)

“Tsk, don’t call me your big brother, this maggot! In the first place, because of the stupidity you did at Arclein Empire, just how much compensation do you think we have to pay for the damages and war prisoners!” (Steroi)

It’s different from Mackey. Me who didn’t know of his circumstances, didn’t sympathize with him.

“Let’s stop it at that, Prince Steroi. It would be unsightly for the people of Sky Race any more than this. I wish that your family quarrel to be done later. Lagaia too, stand up. You are a prince even for instance, please stand up on your own feet.” (Ura)

Despite Ura unable to just watch anymore and stopped Steroi, Lagaia didn’t move even a bit.

No, I’m sure he’s alive but, his body has completely refused to move.

Aah........ somehow this is.......

“Oi”

When I realized it I already hit Steroi’s shoulder.

“Velt-kun!” (Arusha)

“Whoa! Hihahahaha, thing’s gotten interesting now.” (Kagami)

All of my comrades got surprised by my action. No, I’m surprised myself.

“Mixed blood this mixed blood that, it’s so noisy. I might be having children with demon woman myself after all. You’re not an OL , so don’t rattle this and that about blood type affinity.” (Velt)

TL note: OL (Office Lady), I don’t know. Are office ladies in Japan really particular with blood type? Seen about blood type fortune telling from Lucky Star though.

Why am I doing this? I dunno.

However, when I realized it I’ve already taken off my sunglasses and facing against Steroi.

“Why? Oh human. I don’t know who you are but don’t be over-familiar with me and touch my shoulder.” (Steroi)

From Ura and other’s point of view, despite I’m not using my full strength, my expression must still look quite irritated.

However, despite I don’t quite understand myself I still moved.

“This here is the junkyard. The guy who found that brat first was me.” (Velt)

“Hm?” (Steroi)

“Once a garbage has been thrown away, then it became the belonging of the guy who picked it. Considering how you guys have been doing this unlawful dumping, why the heck you’re just doing as you please now? You know common sense right?” (Velt)

Aaah, I said it.

“.........Oi, what’s with that attitude? Don’t you able to comprehend who I am?” (Steroi)

“A big brother ain’t no abuse his little siblings. You gotta keep domestic violence at a healthy amount or people won’t stand it.”

Whack, a sound as if the space got cracked was heard.

“Aah sigh, why can’t he be more prudent!” (Arusha)

“Puh, hihahaha, common sense he said, common sense.” (Mackey)

“OH~, Velt, that’s some mouth you have.” (Kishin)

“He totes the one who got no common sense the most himself, that guy.” (Althea)

“Oi, big brother. He hit my butt you know?” (Yuzuriha)

“Well that’s yer punishment ain’t it?” (Jackpot)

“No, that’s no good isn’t it?” (Barnando)

“Velt-kun can be disordered at times-dazou.” (Kaizer)

Arusha holds her head as she looked down, while Mackey and Kishin are grinning while looking amused.

Hey, don’t say [despite him makes girls cry like it’s nothing] to me aight.

For a moment there, as the strained atmosphere got flowed over, someone murmured

“....................this..................man............”

“That person.............”

It’s Ura and Eljela.

Both of them not even move a bit with their eyes wide open, they just keep on looking at me.

“Princess Arusha. Who is this rude person?” (Ura)

“Wait, Velt-kun! Um, that, well, he is..... my..... huh? But, I, in this kind of place, with these people, should I announce it now? If I were to announce it in front of the various royalties, it will surely be passed over to the world, so won’t it be officially recognized in that instant, I wonder? But, in front of these two....... no, if this were war then I should avoid any naive sympathy. My opponents are a woman who he had cohabited with for five years, and a woman with a child you know? That’s right, isn’t it me the one who’s being left behind the most? I thought I was having a large lead in monopolizing it but it seems I was just conceited. Like this the gap between us will widen, isn’t it? I need to shorten it. And if I were to do that, I can’t say anything lukewarm in front of these girls. And more than anything, depending upon that girl who isn’t here, and Mina whose whereabouts is unknown, this situation could one day completely change. I have the advantage that they don’t have their memories....... I mean, yes, the method of using this tragedy, despite it being just a makeshift one there’s just no helping it, and if I were to read the situation and don’t do anything unfair, can I really just let him go like this? Of course not. Now then, Arusha, when else you’re going to do it...... do it now!” (Arusha)

Somehow, from midway the cyclopes’ single eye turned into a dot, while the sky race tilted their heads to the side ambiguously, Arusha then arrived at her conclusion and said.

“He is, my...... ho, honey.” (Arusha)

“This stupid eggplant.” (Velt)

Somehow, like a woman being escorted to a dance party, Arusha softly snuggles to my arm.

“Wha, what the! Princess Arusha?”

“Is that how it is? I’ve never heard anything about this you know?”

“Then, is this man also being related to royalty?”

Enough already, I was finally about to give the sex obsessed princess a light poke.

But, the next instant......

“!!”

“..........................hm.....”

Ura and Eljela. Both of them for some reason, saddened, suffocated, and unable to understand why themselves. With that kind of face they are holding down their own expressions.

“Wh, wh, why? Right now......... there’s something suffocating in this chest........” (Ura)

“Oh my? .........I.......... just why..........? “ (Eljela)

Those two, they might be always having [just who is he?] kind of thought in their minds. It is not a memory, but something similar to a sensation.

“Hm, Princess Arusha’s lover? However, that makes it all the more impolite, this would make a big rift in our friendship, wouldn’t it?” (Steroi)

“I don’t wanna be friends with you, to befriend with this kind of an evil crooked bastard, it’s definitely just a sham after all.” (Velt)

However, rather than the reactions of those two, this Steroi guy who makes me feel irritated comes first.....

“Why...........?”

At that moment, a voice was heard from the collapsed Lagaia.

“Why, do you............ protect me?” (Lagaia)

That’s because, it’s something I said to myself.

“Why? Well, I got no idea. It’s just, it just comes to that, for some reason.” (Velt)

“..............isn’t it, doesn’t related to you......” (Lagaia)

Doesn’t related. Well, I guess so.

But.......

“Others are others. Us are us? One shouldn’t meddle into someone else’s household problems, so you want me to just shut up and read the air you mean? Like hell I care. I just can’t hold myself seeing you brothers like that, that’s all.” (Velt)

I just can’t help it right? Somehow it just ended up like that.

But, I also have something to ask about it myself.

“Then, why did you rebel? If you wanna die then just be quiet and accept your execution or you can just go kill yourself. But you got chickened out and escaped, then in the end you ended up becoming this mess...... just what the heck you want to do? (Velt)

“..............What I............ want to do?” (Lagaia)

If he wanted to escape then he should have finished his objective.

He shouldn’t have wanted to die. Despite so, why is he just accepting his fate here?

“I.............. still........... ended up understood that............... there’s things I want to have.........” (Lagaia)

What is it then?

“I............. just............. want a place where I can belong............ and here is....... the only place......... where no one will complain............ with me being here.........” (Lagaia)

While he grovels on the ground, Lagaia spoke with a voice as if about to disappear, his expression unseen, but I know that his voice is tearful and full of trembling.

However, even after hearing those words, Steroi just snorts.

“Hmph, guwahahahahahahahaha! Don’t make me laugh, this abhorred child! A brat of lowly birth like you don’t have a place to belong even in this garbage of a place, not even in the world! Just by you existing you’ll bring in catastrophe, this mixed blood!” (Steroi)

Steroi once again about to step on Lagaia.

However, it’s different this time.

Why? it’s because it wasn’t only me who stopped him.

“Hm? What’s with you bastards?” (Steroi)

The ones who stood up to protect Lagaia, they are me, Kishin, and Jackpot.

“Fufu, what’s so wrong with blood mixed together? Me too, me have a mixed blood but me have pride.” (Kishin)

“I mean, a big bro ain’t no abuse his li’l siblings. A big bro is someone who protect. Someone so half assed might become a king but can’t ever be a big bro, he can just go and die ASAP.” (Jackpot)

This is final.

“...........................Kuku..........fuhahaha............this me......... who is hailed as the next candidate for the Demon King.........!” (Steroi)

The atmosphere which were filled with cracks, exploded in one breath.

“This is a lie, right! Those three idiots just did something unnecessary!” (Arusha)

“Well, I of opinion that it will end up like this in any case-zou.” (Kaizer)

“Heey, really? Really? This real bad then! Miya-jii, protect me!” (Althea)

“Good grief. Just step back, Althea-san.” (Barnando)

“Hihahahahahahahahahaha.” (Mackey)

“...........uwah...... troublesome...... trashes.” (Yuzuriha)

Along with his shout, Steroi swelled himself with magic power.

He enveloped it to his whole body, and it might be my imagination but his muscles seem got enlarged and become as big as twice over.

“Fuuuuh, elder brother Steroi.......  All troops, prepare for battle! We will firstly clean up those hindering trashes!” (Galiga)

“Wa, wait! Hey, don’t begin interracial fights right in front of us!” (Ura)

“How savage huh. Still..... an ogre, elephant, dragon, an old man........ these four people are of different class....... can’t be helped, because of the alliance it’s not like we can just ignore it. Renza.”

“Oh, isn’t this good~? Right, Roala ane-sama! Hehe, so what now~? Things seems gotten interesting isn’t it! Let me join in!”

In the end, it was started by a small cause named [just can’t stomach it].

“Bro, leave things ‘ere to me! I’mma teach this fatty of a big brother myself! Firstly let’s start with one shot!” (Jackpot)

“A dragonman shouldn’t make light of us! We are the chosen cyclopes! Learn our difference with those failures yourself!” (Steroi)

Jackpot immediately went after Steroi.

“Fufu, sorry............ it’ll be insta killing.......” (Kishin)

“I don’t know who he is but, he won’t be able to match elder brother Steroi!” (Galiga)

Kishin against Galiga.

“Here I go! Surface dwellers!”

“Hoho, I’ll be your opponent!”

Renza against Barnando.

“I’ll subdue you, surface dweller.”

“If you can do it, then try-zou.”

Roala against Kaa-kun.

“He, hey! Princess Arusha, what is the meaning of this!” (Ura)

“Aaah sigh, even I don’t intend things to be like........... stop it, you all!” (Arusha)

“Titty monster....... you swollen trashy tits........” (Yuzuriha)

“Eh, is, is it me?” (Eljela)

“Hihahahaha, wait, wait a sec! Me and Althea fighting against the Royal Guards is too much!” (Mackey)

“Really, spare me from that!” (Althea)

So much chaos broke apart.

However it is because of that trivial something, that it will be something that change the world, we can never predict it at this time.......... we should have but, well, things just happen.

“Huh......... how about me?”

And so, I got left behind.

However, that’s just my feelings. In a certain way, there’s only the strongest opponent for myself in this world being left over.

“Hm.................?”

I who got left behind just like that looked up to the sky unexpectedly.

And then when I realized it, on the sky there was.......... hey!

“Hm? Heck, what the hell is this?” (Velt)

“What!”

“Eh........ hiha! Friggin! What’s happpening!” (Mackey)

“Uwoooooah, This is really, really!” (Althea)

In an instant, both enemies and allies all got into confusion.

That’s because, the sky race’ ship that’s floating in the sky is........ I mean, Love and Peace’s ship and Makai Demon Kingdom’s battleships are all........

“Wh, why even those guys are floating in the sky!”

No matter how many the numbers, all the ships are floating in the sky.

Is something like this rare around these parts? But, as I thought that the cyclopes that were still inside the ships and also the organization’s members are all in quite the racket and are rushing down.

“Imperial Princess Eljelaaaaaa! It’s, it’s terrible!”

“What, in the world is happening! Right now it’s very busy over here you know?” (Eljela)

One of the sky race was in panic as she descended down.

That panicking woman kneeled to Eljela and cried out.

“Co, Cosmos-sama is........ Cosmos-sama who was still sulking, suddenly jolted awake and got her extrasensory divine perception out of control!”

TL note: 超天能力 (Chou ten nouryoku), normally in anime its just chounouryoku for esper powers and chounouryokusha for the espers. Should it be translated to Divine Esper Power then?

.............................Wao..................

“Wh, why, did Cosmos! In, indeed that she has been sulking for these past few days but, why did she suddenly become like this!” (Eljela)

“Th, that’s, that’s......... she just suddenly went out of control! A, and she went [It’s papa damon! It’s papa damon! He came to play! Huggy! Give me huggy! Papa! Cosmos’ Papa! Let’s go!], she said those incoherent words.”

“Th, that’s, ....... what in the, why........kuh, at any rate we must calm Cosmos down! At this rate not mentioning accomplishing our duty, Cosmos might become the cause for a great disaster! That child, she is an unique existence that while she was born from the imperial family and has vast extrasensory divine perception, she also somehow has the same magic power as the surface dwellers does, she is the child that has the qualifications to be the [Sublime Magic Sky King]!

..........................wha? the? This flow is...........

“Hey, Princess Eljela! We will take care of this insolent bunch! You do something about your daughter!” (Steroi)

“Hahaha, I dunno what’s happenin’ but, it got nothing to do with us, we’ll just mop the floor with ya!” (Jackpot)

“Good grief, you sure are noisy. This irritation, it won’t calm down unless I get to beat you up.”

“Fuh, there’s only one way to vanish the irritation. Rock n’ Roll!” (Kishin)

“Kuh, if Cosmos goes out of control then it’s going to be big trouble...... Rumba! Jonga! Bardo! Please, pull away from here! I’ll calm down Cosmos together with Eljela! If we don’t calm down that child’s temper.......... we’re going to be in big trouble!” (Ura)

“ “ “By your order!” “ “

With my opponent being not here, could it be.......

“.......Hey, Velt-kun, that Cosmos-chan’s papa....... could it be.......” (Arusha)

“Arusha.......... perhaps.......... it could be exactly as you said?” (Velt)

Could it be, instead of fighting, I’m going to have to calm down a child, right..........?

Eh, then my opponent could it be........

“Haaaaaaah........ can’t help it..........” (Velt)

I’ve resolved myself.

“Oi, Lagaia.” (Velt)

“..............eh?” (Lagaia)

“Children are so much trouble huh.” (Velt)

As I look up to the sky, I said that to Lagaia who’s still lying face down.

“There are many people like you who were not blessed with parents and family. Even now, there are kids that cried to parents like me. Really, the parents in this world, I feel they need to get a grip more of themselves.” (Velt)

Without knowing the meaning of those words, Lagaia made a slightly confused expression, but I don’t mind it and made a bitter smile, then once again look up to the sky.

“It’s my bad, for just abandoning you. If just a hug that you want....... then I’ll do it right this instant.” (Velt)

I’ll be heading there right now so just wait.
