Chapter 184 Won’t Go Over There

 

Honestly, I’ve heard about her situation a bit at Elfarshia Kingdom, but when I was about to pick the topic up, this and that so quickly happened that I couldn’t ask about it.

All the talks were about something like predictions and plans after all, we also didn’t know what she’s doing and where she is.

However, the situation slightly changed by what Cosmos said just now.

The [onee-chan] that Cosmos met. And also the [master] that Dora is searching.

I have a feel that both of them are actually the same person.

And now, I have further lead about that person.

“Dora huh. To think that you’d even know about Dora.” (Ura)

“Yeah. You don’t know where she is right now, right?” (Velt)

“No, now that you mentioned it, we haven’t met for quite long. I only heard that the Empire is taking care of her, and General Tyler was also saying that she’s doing fine after all.” (Ura)

For Ura and others, the news about Dora still haven’t reached them huh. That matter about Dora having already escaped.

“What the, so you haven’t got a meet up between your fellow comrades?” (Velt)

“Fellow comrades?” (Ura)

“Yeah. Like Musashi, Cleran, and Farga.” (Velt)

“Right, it sure is strange. Despite it was a short journey, we all have deepened our bonds. However, around two years ago, the particular purpose of our journey disappeared, then we got separated. We’ve never met with Farga and Cleran ever since. At least ever since Musashi went back to her home.” (Ura)

And, it seems their relationship has turned into quite lonely with things like that.

Theirs are of different races, despite they’ve already joined together and all.

Besides, they all have already went through quite many things, so I thought that their bonds would have gotten deeper.

But..........

“The reason things has become like this, I don’t know why. But just, suddenly the reason for it just disappeared. I too, no longer understand why I did that journey in the first place. However, I managed to meet with the comrades from my hometown at a good timing, and I was chosen as the person who was to be the bridge for the demons, humans, and demihumans, so honestly, maybe it was because I keep on immersing myself with works?” (Ura)

Upon hearing that, I became slightly sad.

I don’t mind being called conceited because of this but, most probably, the reason why Ura and other’s journey lost it’s purpose, it was all because I disappeared.

In the first place, Farga and Ura’s journey began because of my selfishness, and both of them were just accompanying along.

And with them having forgotten about my existence, it’s like having a part of them got taken off, they got concerned with their current jobs, then two years were spent just like that.

That time was that time, I thought that our team was so peerless that there’s nothing that we couldn’t do, however for it to be this easily got broken apart, it’s really sad.

“Well, I’m going to meet with General Tyler in a few days, I’ll ask about Dora at that time.” (Ura)

“In a few days? What, you’re going to back to the country?” (Velt)

“No, it’s because there will be a [Summit] in a few days. Honestly, it was the reason why I wanted to take care of Lagaia and Chirotan’s matter first.” (Ura)

Summit? I’ve heard something like that in the previous life.

“Summit? If I’m not mistaken, it’s that thing when all the big shots got together?” (Velt)

“Yeah. Me, General Tyler, and Yubamensch from Love and Peace will mediate it, from the human continent there will be the Emperor of Arclein Empire, and several names from the Ten Heroes of Light. From the demons, it will be the kings of Jigoku Demon Kingdom, and Makai Demon Kingdom. From the demihumans, the kings of Three Power Country and one of the Four Heavenly Beasts Demihumans, Erosvitch will attend, this will open the first assembly ever. The topic will be about the treaty between races and territory distribution from hereafter.” (Ura)

TL note: 三カ国 (Sanryoku koku) literally means Three Power Country

That’s just means, these guys have become quite the big shots. No, she’s a princess in the first place I guess.

Now that I think about it, something like this was also written in the newspaper I read at the prison. I mean, what the heck is this territory distribution about. I bet they’re just probing each other out.

Still, despite that, this is a brilliant achievement from historical point of view.

“What the. To think that there’s going to be an assembly among the various races like that. The world sure is changing too.” (Velt)

At that moment, someone came while keeping away from Kishin and others who are clamoring about, as he has evacuated here like other residents of Smoky Island, Auriga entered the conversation that I and Ura are having.

“Hey, you’re still alive.” (Velt)

“Yeah one way or another. I haven’t moved my body for ten years, so I was almost dead inside all of that.” (Auriga)

“My bad. My daughter went and destroyed the place you’re living in.” (Velt)

“Haha, well, you did showed me something interesting. It made my heart excited after a long time.” (Auriga)

For some reason Auriga makes a really refreshed face.

He might be won’t be fighting anymore for the rest of his life, but still those eyes, they’re different from the eyes as if he’s ready to die at any time from yesterday.

Almost dead? That’s in other words, does it mean he doesn’t feel like to die anymore?

“Who is this person?” (Ura)

“I’m formerly a member of the Great Human Alliance Army, the name’s Auriga. Nice to meet you. Well, I never got to speak with a demon in this kind of calm atmosphere, so I’m a bit surprised. I ever personally got involved with royalties and people in power but, an underling like me never get to be in that kind of stuff.” (Auriga)

“I see.............. I can infer that you’ve had many things going on with you since you’re living in this island. I’m sorry for all the ruckus. I’m a member of an organization named Love and Peace, Ura Vesparda.” (Ura)

“Ura Vesparda? That’s could it be, the Vesparda Demon Kingdom?” (Auriga)

“Yes, that’s right.” (Ura)

They both introduced their own names but upon hearing Ura’s name, Auriga showed a slightly surprised expression.

Well, as expected even I can understand that.

“As person from Vesparda Demon Kingdom, why aren’t you working for your country but for another organization instead?” (Auriga)

“...........Vesparda was destroyed in my father’s generation.......... it was defeated by the True Hero Roa.” (Ura)

“What the, a whole nation of one of the Seven Great Demon King........... huh? Roa............... do you mean, Prince Roa? ........... I see, the prince......... he has become strong.” (Auriga)

Auriga doesn’t ask anything further than that, he only murmurred [I see] in a small voice.

“Now that I think about it, Velt-kun........... I remember about Prince Roa In that battle just now, it turns out that your daughter is a holder of the Crest Eyes.......” (Auriga)

Crest Eyes. Ooh, you mean that chuuni stuff.

“Seems so. It appears to be something that’s sought after world wide.” (Velt)

“I see....... to think that.......” (Auriga)

For some reason Auriga is making a complicated expression and then turned silent.

Still, it’s no surprise. From what Mackey said before, Crest Eyes are keys for reviving the divine race, so they’re extremely important thing.

And that means, this guy knows about it.

However, the words Auriga murmured next, turned out to be beyond my expectations.

“To think that, I’d be seeing the third Crest Eyes in this kind of place...............” (Auriga)

The third? When I was about to ask again about that, finally, my comrades who were making rackets snapped out of it and entered into the conversation.

“Auriga-dono. What do you mean with seeing the third Crest Eyes? It’s hard to believe-zou.” (Kaizer)

“That’s really a surprise. Me too also thought that it’s only the True Hero Roa.” (Kishin)

“Is it really true? Other than big brother and Cosmos, just who could it be......” (Arusha)

“Oh, what what? Do you mean that friggin’ God Eyes from the rumors?” (Mackey)

“Even me, I only ever heard of the name Crest Eyes-nou.” (Barnando)

The ones who got into the conversation are Kaa-kun, Kishin, Arusha, Mackey and Barnando.

The other guys are all around Cosmos and Lagaia still continuing their chats.

“Princess Arusha. You and Prince Roa were both still young, but actually ten years ago, someone from the same generation as you, a young princess from a certain country also holds the Crest Eyes.” (Auriga)

“.....................Wha! Tha, that person is..............” (Arusha)

“It’s natural that you don’t know about it. It is because of a trivial quarrel with her parents, she ran away from her home at the age of seven, she has gone away from her country.” (Auriga)

O, oi oi oi oi oi, that too quite the nut job huh. She ran away from home at seven and left her country.

“I was serving as the right hand man of a Holy Knight, it was a coincidence that I came to know of that princess to be a Crest Eyes holder. Well, right after that I, well.......... got my heart broken apart, and when I realized it I was already here, therefore I don’t know what happened after that. However, since Princess Arusha doesn’t know about that, it means that princess is perhaps still in hiding, or maybe has disappeared from the world as she ran away from her home.......... those are what may seemed to have happened.” (Auriga)

“Hu, huuh.................... a princess who holds the Crest Eyes................. do you know her Princess Ura?” (Arusha)

“No, this is the first time I heard of this. Incidentally, that princess...... from which country is she? A human? A demon? Or maybe, a demihuman?” (Ura)

Yeah. We don’t know whether that princess is still alive or not, or instead maybe she could be someone that we know, it piqued me about just what kind of a person she is.

And then.........

“The princess name is............. Clonia Balbadie.......... a descendant of a race from the Subterranean World that had tied themselves to the king, long ago in the past.......... she is a  princess of the Balbadie Kingdom.” (Auriga)

TL note: from the raw Balbadie here spelled Bolbadieh.

It was said in a quite the swimmingly manner that we lost our words.

However, the meaning of those words gradually sink into us, we all regardless of race, got ourselves shocked.

“Bal, Bal, Balbadie! You mean, the one who made those tunnels!” (Velt)

“No way......... tha, that country’s ancestors, you mean they’re from the Subterranean World?” (Arusha)

“This is, even I don’t know about it-zou.” (Kaizer)

“Still, Balbadie, if me not mistaken Seven years ago it was...........” (Kishin)

“Mm, indeed so. It was destroyed.” (Barnando)

To think that, I’d be hearing that name in this place, never had I imagine this.

The princess who holds the Crest Eyes, to think that, she’s actually from that Balbadie.

“Arusha, Ura, you both didn’t know about this?”

“It was when I was a child that Balbaide got destroyed after all, and besides that country was quite the peculiar one, we didn’t have that deep of intimacy with them. However, Princess Clonia......... I feel I ever heard of her name.......... but still I didn’t know that she had run away from her home.” (Arusha)

“To think that that country........... did father know about this? Or perhaps, it was just a coincidence?” (Ura)

If it’s Arusha as a princess of the Empire she’d be connected with it, and as for Ura she’s a part of the perpetrator who caused Balbadie to be destroyed, it’s unexpected that they don’t know anything about it.

But, putting that aside, even Auriga was surprised.

“What? Balbaide got destroyed? Is that, really true?” (Auriga)

“Yeah. It’s around seven years ago. It was attacked by Vesparda Demon Kingdom. Well, that Vesparda also got destroyed right after that though.” (Velt)

“Th, that’s................ mm........................ to think that the world has changed that much during these ten years.” (Auriga)

Indeed, from Auriga’s point of view, he must be feeling like Urashima Taro even more than me who spent two years in that jail.

Be it the Seven Great Demon Kings, the Ten Heroes, or the Four Heavenly Beast Demihumans, the era is gradually changing.

“Then, what about that Princess Clonia? What kind of child was she? And, the Crest Eyes she has, was it actually the eyes of [Holy Life]?” (Mackey)

TL note: 聖命 (Seimei) going by dictionary, it doesn’t seem a real word so I just put together the kanji meaning as is. Normally seimei means life.

“Ah, right. I mean, Mackey, so it seems like the Crest Eyes has three types, how are they different?” (Velt)

“Yeah, about that. Well, if I were to say it roughly, [Crest Eyes of Truth], [Crest Eyes of Creation],  and then [Crest Eyes of Holy Life], those are the three.” (Mackey)

Uwooooah, real chuni~

“The [Crest Eyes of Truth] that my big brother has, they can instantly unravel and analyze everything those eyes see. If it were to be used in a fight, it can analyze magic and abilities in just an instant, and then making it able to be used by the holder himself. And for other uses, it enables him to remember the magic inside a grimoire with just one reading, even with unusual weapons and tools, with just seeing it he is able to understand their purpose and effectiveness. Therefore, there’s no magic and armaments in this world that my brother can’t use. However, it drawback is that it’s very taxing to the brain, that it can’t be used for a long period of time.” (Arusha)

“The [Crest Eyes of Creation] that Cosmos-chan has, it was like what I heard. It can turn into reality the things one drawn up inside one’s head. Creating something from one’s imagination. Like it can create that damgun using garbage as it’s materials. Ain’t it friggin~? But, we don’t know the risk about it. Right now it doesn’t seem to cause any change after all.” (Mackey)

It’s really like that. And upon knowing what the risk Roa is shouldering, I instantly began to worry about Cosmos.

Right now there’s no problems with her body, it also doesn’t seem there’s anything going on with it either, and it is because we don’t know that kind of risk that, from now on we shouldn’t use it recklessly.

As I look at Cosmos who’s laughing innocently inside Eljela’s hug, I decided that inside my heart.

And then........

“And so, what kind of eyes are the last ones?(Velt)

Truth and Creation. And lastly, Holy Life. It’s details are being conveyed by Auriga’s mouth.

“[Crest Eyes of Holy Life] that Princess Clonia has. Bequeathing personality into matter........ in other words, it is capable to blowing in life into things. Be it a sword, weapon, tableware, a house, Princess Clonia capable of giving life unto things that unable to speak nor move, making them able to have their own will.” (Auriga)

After coming this far, it is really an outrageous power.

“Is it really possible, something like that?” (Arusha)

“I ever heard about it too but, is it really like that? Well, this is a friggingly fantasy world, a talking weapon or table ware, I won’t think it’s too weird if even those kind of stuff actually exist.” (Mackey)

“This is the first time I heard about it-zou. To think that the third Crest Eyes to have such a power.......” (Kaizer)

“Hm hm, its really fantastic.” (Kishin)

“Well, it’s really because fantasy-janou.” (Barnando)

“Still, if that’s actually true, it’s going to bring trouble if it’s used in a battle. If a sword and cannons could have their own will, move and then attack, it means things won’t be over if we only beat the soldiers. When father and I were fighting against Balbadie, if they had something like that then the results might have changed.” (Ura)

Truly, it’s like that. And more than that, it makes me shiver if that Clonia girl were to join forces with Cosmos.

For example, if Cosmos were able to use her power skillfully and then made an elaborate damgun, what if it were then to be given a life of it’s own..........

Hm?

“.............granting life.....................to things?” (Velt)

At that moment, mine and Ura’s eyes met.

..............could it be.............

As I thought of that, suddenly a voice that as if it could break the atmosphere was heard.

“Princess Ura, the preparations for sailing has been finished.” (Rumba)

“The sky people’s preparations for withdrawing has also been done-nari.” (Bardo)

“There’s also nothing else we can do no matter how long we’re staying here. We’ve failed our mission ain’t it, we also still have the Summit, we better go back for once, ain’t it.” (Jonga)

Starting from Ura’s comrades, the Royal Guards, seemingly having finished their preparations, the sky people also appeared one after another.

“Well then, we’ll also go back. We’ve come here to fight that Demon King but it seems impossible now right? Please take good care of Eljela and Cosmos alright.” (Renza)

“Ura-sama. We’ll go back to our country for once, as for what to do with the residents of Smoky Island that have taken refuge here, I wish you to decide upon it.” (Roala)

The sky people Renza and Roala too, they take back their subordinates and pull out from this place.

Well, they’ve come here for the sake of taking care of Chirotan but he feels like already firmly became our fade-in, so it looks like they judged that it would be impossible to deal with him.

TL note: yeah it’s written fade-in. dunno, maybe a type of alliance?

I mean, Chirotan, could it be that like Lagaia, you’re going to join us so quickly like that?

“Ye, yeah...........  it is true that there are many after work things to do, there are many things that is better for us to do after this, after all............” (Ura)

Having said that, even Ura also has the same opinion about the current situation, she seems to have no objection.

Well, we’d also hate it if we have to fight against a whole group trying to arrest us here. Even if we have already knew the result of it would bring.

However, there’s one person among us whose face was stiffen as if she failed at something.

“.............................ah........................th, this is bad.........” (Arusha)

It was Arusha.

“Hm? What’s wrong?” (Velt)

“Arusha-chan?” (Mackey)

As we look into her, the next moment, Arusha holds her head and screamed.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, I, I forgot about it!” (Arusha)

Arusha’s scream was heard.

“U, Ura-sama! Tha, that Summit, whe- when will it happen?” (Arusha)

What’s wrong with her all of a sudden? Her face looks pale white for some reason, Ura also got surprised but as if suddenly understanding the situation, she makes a taken aback face.

“It’s three days from now. Rather than that, yes. Just what are you doing in this kind of place! You’re a princess of the Empire, moreover you’re also one of the Ten Heroes of Light, that makes you obligated to attend!” (Ura)

A, aah, so it’s that.

I mean, of course huh.

She’s a super VIP in even that kind of place, of course she has to attend.

“Aaaah, geez, I was so blinded with sex that I forgot about it. Yes, after dealing with the Underground Casino subjugation, I was supposed to go to the Divine Race Continent and join up with my big brother........... eh, in the first place, I’m right now supposedly being treated as missing, ...............what should I do...........I must be making everyone panicking right now..........” (Arusha)

And here, all of us have this thought in our minds. [You only thought abou that now?].

Rather........

“Eh, I mean, Arusha-chan, could it be you’re planning to attend despite all that? Eh, that’s friggin’ bad right?” (Mackey)

“Ye, yes. Naturally, it would be bad for me to attend with my current standing. .....uhhh, stiiil, what should I do, ........ Everyone’s been working so hard with fine tuning the plans we had previously............. aah, it seems I’ve done something awful.........” (Arusha)

Somehow Arusha is seriously being distressed about it.

Well, she got taken away by her feelings and now has joined us, but that doesn’t mean she can just that easily throw away all the things she had worked out up till now, she’s so disgustingly diligent after all, so it might be won’t be so easy for her.

“Then, how about you go and................” (Velt)

“That’s absolutely won’t happen so you just shut up, Velt-kun. Once you say any more weird things, you’ll know how it feels to be put down in ice.” (Arusha)

“----------geh................ o, okay.” (Velt)

It seems, she won’t choose to go and separate from our crew.

And then, it was at that time.

“AAAAAAAH! N, NO!” (Barnando)

This time it’s Barnando’s voice.

“I, I too, was asked to be in charge for the security of the meeting place! I was supposed to be at meeting place now......... hmmm.” (Barnando)

“OH~, so you same with her Mister Barnando.” (Kishin)

“No, it isn’t only me. Because Yubamensch who coordinates with the demihumans for Love and Peace also scheduled to attend, so incidentally, I was supposed to escort Althea-san too-nja.” (Barnado)

“Yubamensch! Why Yubamensch got connections with Althea-zou?” (Kaizer)

“Aah, Kaa-kun so you don’t know? The parent who raised Althea is Yubamensch you know. It’s friggin’ surprising right?” (Kagami)

“! Wha, what the! N- now  that I think about it, quite long ago, Yubamensch picked up a princess of the Dark Elf Country that he himself destroyed and raised her, or so I heard but............. to think that she ended up becoming that much jumbled up?” (Kaizer)

And so it happened. Frankly, from our side we have Arusha, Barnando, and Arusha, those three are supposedly have things to do with that Summit.

Well, with this kind of members with us, if one were to say it won’t be strange if those kind of guys to exist, then of course it won’t.

“But, still me all can’t go there however. It’s all the more because Jigoku Demon Kingdom will also attend.” (Kishin)

“It’s gonna be friggin’ dangerous for us too ‘ight.” (Mackey)

“I feel that too. King of Elfarshia doesn’t seem gonna attend but, probably, Tyler will attend that.” (Velt)

At this time, even if I were to go and meet with Tyler it only gonna become a quarrel, and he’d gonna try to capture me with all his strength.

Anyhow, if our views doesn’t overlap, then I don’t want to overdoing it and meet him.

“Ooh, what kind of talk yer having now bros.” (Jackpot)

“It’s about that Summit thing you mentioned right? Bar-jii, it’s that one right? I promised Maman to go meet him. What do we do now? If we break promise with Maman, it’s gonna be totes terrifying!” (Althea)

“Well! Well! It’s about that meeting from before right? This time, it has been decided that the sky people won’t attend, so do everyone going to go there right now?” (Eljela)

“Keh, seems there’s no one mentioned that I got invited?” (Chirotan)

“Noisy trash. They thought you’ve already dead before right?” (Yuzuriha)

“Pappa, mamma, where are you going?” (Cosmos)

I mean, there’s no way I can bring along these members alright.

Hm, I won’t go. This is a matter of fact decision.

If I were to go, I’m gonna be treated like a terrorist.

“Well, Barnando and Althea, you guys weren’t coming with us in the first place, so it can’t be helped. And Arusha, what are you going to do? If it’s right now, maybe.......” (Velt)

“Be silent, Velt-kun. Please wait a bit.” (Arusha)

“...............o, okay, understood. I really won’t go alright.” (Velt)

“Ah, Velt-kun, umm, I’ll say this firstly.” (Arusha)

Arusha whispered to my ears........

“It is true that King of Elfarshia and Queen Fanred won’t be participating....... but General Tyler is a part of Love and Peace so he’ll attend. Anyway........ From the Ten Heroes of Light, she too..........” (Arusha)

The name that I ended up hearing from Arusha’s whisper.

Yeah, I better not go. Absolutely.

...............................won’t go.
