Chapter 238 Special

The translation is done, still need to read through them and correct some things though. Always makes me wonder why the hell in the past i even wrote it that way each time I do this. Next update gonna be the rest of the novel at once, fastest maybe in another 2 weeks.

Anyway regarding the previous chapter's title, Congratulations Corn. Well it could be that it's just connecting the several last letters to another word. The title in Japanese was Omedetoumorokoshi. Omedetou is congratulations, toumorokoshi is corn. So maybe to get it into English equal it could go like Congratulationization, ionization lmao. Well anything goes as long as it sounds connected. Kinda like that shiritori ig.

Chapter 238 Special

“Klonia. I’ve heard of her. If I’m not mistaken, the missing princess of Balbadie Kingdom is one with that name.” (Forna)

“I never heard about her at all. Though she seemed quite happy from just now.” (Isamu)

“This is, annoying way of not reading the atmosphere that’s exceeded Fiari.......” (Neeto)

“No, Neeto-kun, I’m not annoying alright. I am not, annoying.” (Fiari)

Now that she said it, I completely forgot with all the commotions happening but I think Cosmos was acquainted with Klonia.

Cosmos was hinting that when we were in Smoky Island.

That’s why it’s not strange for her having entanglement with Cosmos.

“She might have heard it from Lucifer. But, this situation seems to have more things to it.” (Velt)

Things that happened at the Demon Continent, since Lucifer is her comrade she might have heard it from him.

This speed of arrangements, I can think nothing else except that.

Cosmos’ safety. And Mannie and her group’s movements. She grasped even my actions and prepared in advance.

But, if that’s the case, there’s one thing that stuck in my mind.

“Klonia. Did she know my real identity?” (Velt)

From how this Klonia seems, she has already understood who I am.

Then, from when? From where and when did she realize that I am Asakura Ryuuma?

“More than that, Asakura....... no, Velt I guess. I wanted to ask many things to you.” (Neeto)

“That’s right! To begin with, Asakura-kun, how things turned out like this and what’s going on right now?” (Fiari)

I mean, where should I begin it from? The state of things in the world? The current situation? Or maybe from which of our classmates I’ve reunited with? There are so many things to talk about, I don’t know where I should begin to explain things from.

“ [Klonia Balbadie]. Field Marshall Mail and Mannie said something about her but it seems she’s Mannie’s elder sisiter.” (Neeto)

“Yeah I know.” (Velt)

“She seems to have the real Crest Eyes.” (Neeto)

“I know.” (Velt)

“If someone could find and capture her, I heard that they’ll give an enormous reward.” (Neeto)

“Well, from the rarity value, I’m sure it gonna be like that.” (Velt)

“So she’s our classmate! I mean, is that [her]?” (Neeto)

“Probably.” (Velt)

Yeah, though I said that I don’t have interest in the Subterranean King and the Field Marshall, there are a mountain of things that these guys wanted to know from me about.

But, in addition to the sun will sink if I were to answer all the things Neeto and Fiari wanted to know about, I also don’t know where to start talking myself.

And then, Goddrilla barged his way into our exchange.

“In this Subterranean World, the one who has the essence to reign is Field Marshall Mail. The Field Marshall could move freely, grasping the affairs inside the Subterranean World as though in possession of clairvoyance, while we exist as the king. For generations the history of subterraneans have been repeating in such manner. However, there is one thing that not even Field Marshal Mail isn’t aware of. That we, aren’t able to defy the Crest Eyes of Life.” (Goddrilla)

Being able to grasp everything inside the Subterranean World. If it’s this guy then it’s certainly simple.

“We that were born by the Crest Eyes of Life, exist to devote ourselves to the same Crest Eyes of Life. Naturally, it isn’t the prototype one like Neeto Dropp has, it is limited to only the genuine one.” (Goddrilla)

“Surely so~, no well, when hearing what you talked about just now, even I can’t help but think about the possibility a bit.” (Neeto)

“Fiari. No, Twinkle Bell is it? We also have known that you are an intelligence operative, but for the sake of gaining understanding of Love and Peace’s actions, we had left you to your own devices.” (Goddrilla)

“Aah~, my my~, seems I was so obvious huh~.” (Firari)

Well, everything happened inside his stomach after all. No matter what conversation one’s having, what scheme they had, he has grasped all of it.

If that kind of existence were to be divulged to the masses then it surely will lead to a big problem.

That’s why the fact that his existence is only known to a few is perhaps a matter of course.

With that said, now he went and said those things this easily to us?

“We do not have prowess for battle, having merely this self restoration ability for the facilities of the Subterranean World. Thereby, we don’t have the capability to stop Field Marshall Mail and other subterraneans, much less protect them. However, though but a mere trifle..... we have a way to lend aid to you.” (Goddrilla)

Aid? Just what in the world had Klonia has in store for us, just what has she figured out?

I don’t know anything at all at this point in time. Or maybe, it’s better if I only think of rescuing Cosmos without thinking deeply about anything?

Honestly, I don’t know how much I could trust Klonia.

“This is something that Clonia has entrusted to us.” (Goddrilla)

It was at that moment. One part of the spacious plaza in front of the palace where we stood at cracked in the form of a square, something then gradually rise up.

When we wondered just what happened and widened our eyes, over there laid a huge warehouse. No, something more similar of a garage, it’s shutter automatically opened.

And over there.........

“Whoa, wo, o, wooooaaah! Wha wha what the heck is that!” (Velt)

What lays there, is a huge drill. And the drill even fashioned with wheels.

While it is a drill it looks like a vehicle with it’s huge frame.

“Guwahahaha, it’s quite the stirring penis!” (Isamu)

“What is that?” (Neeto)

“This is, isn’t it a machine monster?” (Fiari)

Machine? That may be the case. The armor looks like to be covered in a kind of iron, I could understand that it was made with the technology that can’t be compared with the civilization currently in this world.

And the instant we looked at that huge frame, that spiritless Neeto raised his voice as if getting excited.

“Ththththth this is! [Subterranean Tank – Magma Rider]! It, it’s the real deal............” (Neeto)

Uh, what is that really........

“Neeto-kun, do you know about this machine monster?” (Fiari)

“Idiot, you don’t know about it? This is the weapon that existed in our previous life! It came out in that legendary tokutsatsu hero - Masked Specialman, the weapon that the Special Guardian possessed! They drill into the earth with a huge drill, at times it destroyed it’s enemies with it’s equipped beam, it’s such a legendary weapon!” (Neeto)

“..............Neeto-kun, were you a tokusatsu maniac? Well, it’s cute so I’ll allow it.” (Fiari)

“Nah, it’s something that you don’t need to be a tokusatsu maniac for to be in awe for it. Even Asakura should have known about it.” (Neeto)

I don’t know about it alright. Though, at least I knew the Masked Specialman part. If I’m not mistaken, it’s about the huge Maskman defeating the kaijuus that came from space right?

Still, what’s the meaning with bringing out this grim looking machine monster like thing?

“This is one appears to be the machine monster that Klonia possessed and remodeled. The name is, as what Neeto Dropp has stated previously.” (Goddrilla)

“.................Asakura........ that Clonia-san, she worked herself a bit too much but she is absolutely must be her huh. Though it’s only some talk and I don’t really involve myself with her, even I already knew that she loved this kind of thing.” (Neeto)

True that, it might be something typical of[her]. If I’m not mistaken, I kinda remember that since she was in the plastic model club she liked this kind of thing.

I mean, she went and taught someone’s daughter how to make the Mobile Warrior Damgun after all.

“Velt Jeeha. We will pass this over to you. Should you use this and straightly push your way through the earth, you shall arrive at the Desney Land.” (Goddrilla)

“Hah? Even if you were to pass this to me I don’t know how to use it!” (Velt)

“There is no need for you to operate it. Instruct it of where to go and he shall bring you there.” (Goddrilla)

The moment I was saying my complain of not knowing what to do with it even with him just giving it to me, loo and behold, this drill vehicle suddenly opened it’s eyes and spoke.

“No worries, onii-chan fellas. Leave the rest to me!”

................ well, anything goes huh. It just spoke.....

“He is the machine monster that has his will wrought by Clonia’s Crest Eyes. Named [Maa-kun].” (Goddrilla)

Aah, so that’s the case, of course that’s so. Well fine. I guess this is something like that. Something that’s useless to think about.

“That’s right, onii-chan fellas! Ride on me. I was told to lend my strength to onii-chan fellas by my master!” (Maa-kun)

TL note: uh, I added fellas since I don’t really know how to make Maa-kun’s way of talking peculiar as in the raw. He doesn’t really make anything of note when saying onii-chans tbh.

“So it’s from Klonia?” (Velt)

“Dat’s right. Also, big bro Dora said make myself your minion. I shouldn’t make light of your request or I won’t be manly!” (Maa-kun)

“What? Dora? You said he’s your big bro?” (Velt)

That weak snotty nosed scaredy pants machine monster Dora is his big bro?

I never thought that his name gonna come out at a place like this.

But, on the other hand, upon hearing Dora’s name I got the feel of things are fine rather than when hearing about Klonia and other stuff from my point of view.

“Wait, what do we do with this? Velt.” (Forna)

“............Husband............ this thing, it’s cool. I want to ride it.” (Yuzuriha)

“I also want to ride it! This thing, though my thing surpass it, it’s rigidity isn’t inferior!” (Isamu)

“I absolutely gonna ride it. Instead, I don’t really care becoming Asakura’s comrades, I just want to ride this thing.” (Neeto)

“Hauwaah! To be able to make Neeto who’s still listless when even me being lovey dovey with him to be this much spirited!” (Fiari)

The approving faction is greater in number. Things have been decided huh.

“Since this is a present and all. Maa-kun........ you’re appreciatedly welcomed.” (Velt)

“Leave it to me, grand big bro Velt! No matter what mishaps came I’mma blow a hole through it and charge through!” (Maa-kun)

How to say it, it’s such a weird combination in a group.

If I were to ride in this thing, be it my comrades, Shinsengumi, and even Love and Peace guys must be going to be shocked right?

Now how about I ride it and go on a big rampage.......

“Use him, infiltrate their interior, bring back your daughter and make a haste retreat. Klonia left that message to us.” (Goddrilla)

Big rampage......... huh? Escape?

“What, you said escape? So we won’t be having a big rampage with this thing?” (Isamu)

It’s as Isamu said, I unintentionally also tilted my head at that.

To just escape after being given this kind of thing? What’s the meaning behind that?

“They have gathered together the Subterranean World, The Deep Sea World, weapons of the divine race, and also having their top executives assembled, under this condition Love and Peace’s military strength could presumably be said as the strongest in the world. Currently, the demihumans are steadily advancing on the surface, however it is only for the time being. It is plain as day which side will be reduced into smithereens by the total power of their military strength.” (Goddrilla)

At that moment, at the space where there should be nothing in front of us suddenly light appeared, projecting what’s currently happening on the outside world.

“This is........ is it, the situation currently happening on the surface......?” (Isamu)

“Indeed, it is as you assumed. Even without you as their chief commander, the well tempered demihuman soldiers do not lose their will to fight, raising up military achievements. And assisting them, are the comrades of Tsunkura-kun.” (Goddrilla)

The screen took a change. And right there, at the backmost of the demihuman troops, overlooking the battlefield, giving out instructions, and at times going to the foremost line to offer backup is where everyone at.

“Velt! There are Arusha, Ura, and others too !” (Forna)

“Yeah. It seems all of them are fine.” (Velt)

That’s good. Other than us everyone seems fine.

[Now’s the time! Shinsengumi, shock corps forward! Divide the enemy’s horizontal formation!]

[Oooh! What an awesome destructive power! As expected of Shinsengumi’s First Division!]

[Reporting in, the division that tried to approach from the mountain road was discovered and received fierce attack! The damage was enormous!]

[It’s fine. Kaizer-dono is heading there, they will hold on for the time being! The problem is up above the troops. Once they gained control of there we will be surrounded.]

[Good grief, I will go. With how we’re trying to concentrate power in the center, gaps have shown up as expected. I will try to somehow tune things down.]

[Just now, we discovered enemy’s troop lurking inside a dense thicket, Kishin-shi and company have strike them down! However, the casualties are heavy!]

[Hurry bring the casualties to the rear! I will look after them!]

Shinsengumi is being headed by the string of Barnando, Sorushi, then Toushi, in a chaosless group tactic.

Leading the remnant army of Erosvitch is Kaa-kun, in the headquarters Arusha and others are wringing their mind to dish out strategy.

And, in places where the war situation is disadvantageous, Kishin and Kaa-kun march into them and go on berserk.

TL note: Uh, maybe the author mistook Jack for Kaa-kun here?

“Hohou. Things seem quite lively when I’m not around-nou. Though, I’m sure because of Barnando, Kishin, and Kaizer they won’t be so easily fallen behind.” (Isamu)

“Indeed. However, there is a difference in the military might. The war of attrition will repeat, and while your soldiers weaken, Love and Peace will unleash their true might and bring you down in a single swipe. Be it numbers and fire power, to be frank it is your side that is disadvantageous.” (Goddrilla)

That might be the case. Presently, the damage on Shinsengumi isn’t anything light.

In contrast, one after another the tough bodied machine monsters are being thrown in, no one knows how many of them are there.

If this were to continue things will turn dire.

“But, in retrospect, currently Love and Money is being occupied with the outside, supposingly being short of hands on the inside.” (Goddrilla)

Since that’s the case, now is the chance to bring back Cosmos instead huh.

But, upon bringing back Cosmos and escaping, what gonna happen next?

“I understand we can bring back Cosmos now. But, why running away? What will happen to Love and Peace? Will we just leave things as is?” (Velt)

That’s right. In the end what Love and Peace will do? Is it fine to let them loose on the world like that?

“.........Not yet, the time hasn’t come for that. That was the words of Klonia.” (Goddrilla)

“Not yet?” (Velt)

“For the fight to come........ they are yet prepared. That’s exactly why right now is your chance, that’s what Klonia said.” (Goddrilla)

Not yet? The fight to come? For some reason, a troublesome premonition passed through my mind.

This matter, I thought it’s supposed to end with just defeating Mackey and Mannie. Isn’t that’s the case?

But as of right now, that something isn’t something we will understand even with us puzzling over it.

“Grand big bro Velt! Rather than that, saving ojou-sama is our priority!” (Maa-kun)

That’s right. It’s as he said. I never thought Dora’s little brother to be able to say something like that.

Maa-kun opens the door to the inside of his body. Inside, there are two line of seats with a total number of six chairs.

“It’s as he said, Tsunkura-kun. Before long everything will turn clear. The end point of all the fights.” (Goddrilla)

“.......Keh, why are things like this~, Klonia, you, and including that Vold guy too, all of you keep saying these premonition like things.” (Velt)

Tl note: seems I’ve been mistaking Vold’s name as Wold up till now

It’s truly irritating. This sensation is as if being manipulated inside a huge palm of the hand by something unseen.

But, that’s not something that could be compared to Cosmos.

“Let’s go, everyone.” (Velt)

“Certainly, we can only do this right now.” (Forna)

“Well, I don’t mind if we destroy those guys though.” (Isamu)

Let’s proceed now. No one turned against that notion, we then went inside Maa-kun.

Upon confirming that all of us have boarded in, Maa-kun closed his door and turned excited instantly.

“Now, you’d better hold on something, grand big bro Velt! I’ll bring there everyone without fail!” (Maa-kun)

I can tell even from inside that the vehicle body is getting hotter. The huge drill attached to the front started to spin intensely, raising it’s cry.

“We shall meet again very soon, take care.................” (Goddrilla)

It was being erased by the sound of the drill but we were able to hear that part clearly, upon receiving farewell words from Goddrilla, the next moment Maa-kun pierced through a wall and with force blaze through the underground.

“O, oo, oooooh!” (Velt)

“Hohou. It’s smoother than my punch and advance way.” (Isamu)

“Amazing~, my drill can’t even begin to compare. It’s so easy as if the ground and bedrock are made of pudding.” (Neeto)

“Haah~.......I was already shocked by the machine monsters inside Subterranean World’s shrine but this thing really blew me away~.” (Fiari)

Fast! Also, this power could as if dig through no matter how far, I’m feeling glad seeing it.

“Hoh~, not bad.” (Velt)

“Yes! I’m happy grand big bro said something like that!” (Maa-kun)

After I said that, Maa-kun seemed to get carried away and accelerated even more. I never thought that the day where we move inside the earth in this way to ever come.

I have crossed the sea and flew over the sky but now finally I’m moving inside the earth.

Originally this journey is something I started to meet Kamino but I wonder why things gone and become like this, I smiled thinking about my state currently.

“Ooooooooh, this is truly one from the Special Guardians itself!” (Neeto)

“Wait, Neeto-kun, you’re too excited~! Do you plan to leave your girlfriend that’s currently together with you~?” (Fiair)

“..........There’s nothing weird gonna come out right?” (Yuzuriha)

“Ara, Princess Yuzuriha, what’s with the anxious face? Could it be,. ...... you’re slightly afraid?” (Forna)

As various conversations entered my ears, I who’s feeling slightly moved only stared to the front.

“Hm...........”

At that moment, among the excited guys, the originally most noisy Isamu turned slightly serious and turned his gaze outside.

Those eyes looked to be worrying about someone.

“You’re worrying about your comrades?” (Velt)

It’s natural with how we were being showed that sight previously. Even I felt the same.

But, upon hearing my words Isamu blinked slightly in surprise, then he immediately made a hearty laugh and ruffled my head.

“What now~, son in law. You’re one hundred years too early to be worrying about me. At least maybe you could do it after you have wives in two digits?” (Isamu)

He poked fun at me but I can understand where he’s really at.

“It ain’t like you. Did what Goddrilla say bother you?” (Velt)

“........Well somewhat......” (Isamu)

Even a novice like me who’s only a fledgling in war could understand that the situation from the screen just now was rather bad.

No matter how many machine monsters they defeated, they’re in the end mere machine monsters. They don’t have any will or life like Dora and Maa-kun. That’s why they’re effective as stand-ins.

It’s just, our side can’t replicate that. It can’t be denied that as we are doing things like this on the surface the demihumans are fighting desperately, their numbers are gradually dwindling.

Isamu being slightly brooding over it isn’t anything unnatural.

“But, don’t mistake me will you? Me worrying about my comrades isn’t alike when some maiden is thinking. In this war, how should I guide the path to victory, how to overturn the current war situation, I was thinking as such.” (Isamu)

“Do you have any kind of bright ideas?” (Velt)

“....................Let’s see~, it’d be nice had I brought a bit more soldiers. Though the defenses at the continent will be compromised because of that.”

As expected, the bottleneck lays with the military strength. Simply the number of soldiers.

“Not only that, the majority of enemies are heartless machines. Psychological attack won’t get through them.” (Isamu)

Perhaps, things could be different if the enemies are living beings that have emotions.

Tampering with the plans, tricking the opponents, provoking enemies, making them unrest, and make them be shaken, all of those would be possible.

However, the ones they’re fighting against now are the machine monsters.

Their mainstays surely won’t show their faces until our side weakened.

In short, to gain control of the battlefield the only thing they could do is simply destroy all of them.

“Presently, there are two hands that could be played. Defeating them by colliding from the front or instead we act as a detached force and march in sooner and take Mannie’s head.” (Isamu)

In those cases, the most realistic option is the later huh.

Of course, we need to be prepared that there are guys like Pitt and Goofer among the enemies.

In addition to that, there are still Maman, Roa, and Venbai who are brainwashed in their ranks.

Certainly the situation has turned quite perilous.........

“....................................Nhg!” (Isamu)

But at that moment, Isamu suddenly stood up inside the vehicle.

And then, he opened his eyes wide and stared fixedly at a direction.

“Hey. Trash dad. What are you do---------“ (Yuzuriha)

“STOP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!” (Isamu)

At that moment, we suddenly turned stiff as if getting paralysis.

“Hiiik, wh, what’s wrong, old man!” (Maa-kun)

Maa-kun too was shocked and his drill stopped suddenly.

Just what happened really? We unintentionally fell down on our seats unable to get up, while Isamu is still standing as he stiffened, and then......

“Guwahahaha, haha, gufufufu....... guwa----hhahahahhahahahahaha!” (Isamu)

Why is he suddenly laughing so happily like that?

“He, hey, Isamu?” (Velt)

“What’s wrong?” (Forna)

“He got broken?” (Neeto)

“Wh, who knows?” (Fiari)

“......Trash dad?” (Yuzuriha)

Isamu’s situation is unknown.

“Guwahahaha, what a situation! That damn Mannie, guwahaha, she will try to negotiate in the end, and that will surely won’t go so smoothly! Guwahahaha, it will end in a big failure!” (Isamu)

As we tilted our heads, the loudly laughing Isamu knocked on Maa-kun.

“Oi, helix machine. Drill straight to the left.” (Isamu)

“Hah? No, um, according to the information recorded in me, the rendezvous place is.........” (Maa-kun)

“It’s fine just drill over there!” (Isamu)

Isamu suddenly told him to change direction. His intentions unclear.

I could tell that Maa-kun is confused of what to do.

But, Isamu then said.

“Guwahahahaha, sorry son-in-law. We’ll have a detour a bit. But, this detour by no means will be in vain.” (Isamu)

Detour? What did he mean? What exist over there in that direction?

“In that direction, there is an extraordinarily exciting scent see.” (Isamu)

Isamu’s expression is like an excited kid, his eyes are glitteringly shining.

Just what exists beyond that direction? Isamu only insisted [look forward to it after arriving] and didn’t answer.

“Pl, please wait, Isamu. We have agreed to rescue Cosmos first!” (Forna)

“Guwahahaha, don’t be so stiff, Princess Forna. You already lost your virginity mentally. So it’s necessary to be a bit flexible don’t you think?” (Isamu)

Honestly, when I think of Cosmos and our comrades at the surface, I don’t feel inclined on taking unnecessary detour. I also don’t want to lose time.

But, I understand from Isamu’s expression that there’s definitely something beyond that direction.

And it’s something that so unbelievably significant.

“Grand big bro Velt?” (Maa-kun)

“............No helping it, go.” (Velt)

“Velt, is it okay?” (Forna)

“Asakura-kun......” (Fiari)

And that something might overturn this disadvantageous war situation by a large margin.

Since that’s the case, it is connected to us saving Cosmos.

“Un, understood. Then, I’ll go that way!” (Maa-kun)

After saying that Maa-kun changed direction and drill through the direction Isamu pointed at.

Just what lay beyond this? When we realized it, we put ourselves on guard so that we could be fine no matter what happens and could always able to move.

“Don’t make such a scary face. Look, you’ll see it shortly.” (Isamu)

In the next instant, a sound as if a wall getting destroyed was echoed.

“Oo, wha, eh?” (Velt)

“This is.......”

We drilled through the earth and at the end arrived in a dimly lit wide room.

“What’s the deal with this place?” (Neeto)

“Neeto-kun, are you seeing something? That thing there, how to say it......” (Fiari)

Be it the wall and the floor are covered in bricks in all four directions, no matter how I see it this space is something made artificially.

And, in the middle of that wide space a number of square cube like thing are being put, each of their surroundings are all being enclosed in prison bars.

“.............cages?”

That’s right, cages. As if beasts are being locked up, the surroundings of the cage furthermore added with coiling chains, firmly securing them.

“Guwahahahahaha. What a nostalgic smell.........” (Isamu)

As he said that, Isamu get down from the inside of the vehicle by himself, turning to one of the cages and walked to it.

We nodded to each other, putting up our guard we timidly chased after Isamu, peeking to the inside of one of the cages from behind his back.

And right there......

“........................Eh!” (Velt)

“No way!” (Forna)

“..........scary!” (Neeto)

“Eh, wh, what is it!” (Fiari)

“.............What’s that?” (Yuzuriha)

We were shocked. Neeto, Fiari, and Yuzuriha simply got surprised by the being inside, while me and Forna were surprised in another meaning.

Because, the one inside it is someone that we could never predict, but it’s someone that we knew.

“Long time no see-nou. So you’re still alive?” (Isamu)

Isamu spoke to the one inside the cage.

And then, the one inside the cage slowly opened their eyes and looked over here.

Within the cage their whole body is being restrained by coiling chains, their hands and feet are shackled with the body unable to move at all, but despite that, the intimidating air from them don’t die.

And then, they opened their eyes, upon realizing us who are in front of their eyes, they raised their voice in surprise.

“........! You are, Isamu! Why, are you in this place........ besides you is....... Princess Forna of the Ten Heroes of Light. And........”

Yeah, there’s no mistaking it. They looked all beaten up but this is that feel of pressure. The glint in their eyes. Huge body. Short black hair and refreshing looks. And, that characteristic sharp horn growing out of the head. Also, the blue skin.

It’s the blue ogre I met two years ago.

“Remote Control Velt!”

“Jigoku Demon Kingdom’s Six Great Ogre Demon General......... [Zetsuki the Blue Ogre]!”

That’s right, the strongest of the Jigoku Demon Kingdom’s generals, Kishin’s right hand man. That Zetsuki!

And it’s not only Zetsuki. In the cage slightly far from we are.......

“What the! Zetsuki, just now what did you..... aaaaaaah! Yyyyyy you are the brat from that time!”

“You’re the geezer from that time!” (Velt)

I also remember him. If I’m not mistaken, he’s one of the Six Great Ogre Demon Generals, a geezer named Sudou.

Why is he even here.....

“Guwahaha, Zetsuki, Sudou, ooh, over there are Togeni and others. And there, .......... Kiroro! Guwahahaha! It seems you folks were beaten by them. In addition to that............” (Isamu)

Isamu is unable to stop his grinning towards this unexpected reunion.

And, he also further noticed something, he walked to the direction of a certain cage.

And right there......

“I heard that you went missing, but it seemed you were captured after all......But still, you’re alive.” (Isamu)

“.....................You............... why are you here?”

The one inside the dim cage is, what the, she’s a young demihuman girl. Her age seemed to be slightly above Hanabi?

Her pure white head doesn’t have any speck of smear on it. Her face looking somewhat mature and having a feel of cheekiness, along with a cool expression.

However, her attire is uh....... how to say.........

“Wait!”

“Hyah! Wait, Neeto-kun you mustn’t look! Y, yo, you, in a place like this, why are you wearing something like that!” (Fiair)

Fiari got panicked and covered Neeto’s eyes with her body. True that, it’s intolerable to the eyes.

For a young girl to be tied together with chains and confined, it felt as if reality has ran away somewhere..... why? And.......

“What’s with this brat..... wearing white school swimsuit....?” (Velt)

White school swimsuit..... that’s not what it is but to be honest, the clothing that perfectly lining up that small body is something similar to that..

White school swimsuit, next is black mantle, and then black kneesocks? What the heck with this weird coordination.

And though I understand that she’s a demihuman, she’s slightly different from the usual? From her ears, maybe a cat? No, a fox? It’s still usual on that part but her tail is slightly different.

In comparison to her small body her tail is big and tufty. The tail isn’t one but separated into several.

One, two....... nine tails? This fox brat, she has nine tails. What’s the cause?

“Guwahahaha, you seemed to be ill humored.” (Isamu)

“Hmph. It is natural to be so. Being stuck into a trap set by these people that I don’t even know the name of, not only getting defeated, I was disallowed of death and continue to live while exposing myself to shame.....”

“Guwahaha, that’s never change no~. How about your subordinate? Are the Yuri Dragons aren’t here?” (Isamu)
