Chapter 263 Not a Demon of Revenge

Chapter 263 Not a Demon of Revenge

“Wait a sec! Why am I being blamed now! At least right now, I’m not doing anything wrong! If I don’t finish them now, there’s gonna be more victims appearing! The death of Tyler and others too, they can’t go on without taking responsibility for anything!” (Velt)

But despite that, no matter how many times I said that and shouted, the final attack, the request of a teary kid, they gouged out my heart.

I can’t….. my heart is……being teared apart.

“Velt-san. It’s true that they are unforgivable in this world. But right now, there is you here. Since you’re here, anything could happen. Or instead, you want to make them take the responsibility right in front of their child?” (Roa)

Shit shit shit shit Shit shit shit shit!

“Like I said, why the hell you need to be the one to say it! I’m not some kind of superman! I have things I can’t do! If I really could do everything…..” (Velt)

I understood it already. I’ve given up because there’s nothing that could be done. Just like Mackey.

But, if there’s really something that could be done…..

“If I really could do something about it, of course I don’t want to kill them! Of course I’d try to save them!” (Velt)

Those are words that I let out after leaving everything to my feelings, disregarding any fetters, my true feeling.

“Ah…….” (Velt)

At that moment, Roa who heard of what I said….

“Those are the words I wanted to hear!” (Roa)

He just smiled.

That smiled made me so irritated very much, I’m also irritated by myself feeling half baked, that’s why I make my face couldn’t be seen, and with trembling lips squeezed out words.

“Say it….. Mackey…… you say it too!” (Velt)

“Velt-kun……….” (Mackey).

“Shit! I’ve already said my part! Now you say it too! If you don’t say it, it’ll make me the only one who wants it!” (Velt)

Once he actually say it, he won’t be able to [turn back] in its truest meaning.

Mackey betrayed us and chose Mannie and Peace.

I gave up on Mackey and chose my current comrades and family.

Which one is more important, we’ve already seen it through.

He’s fully understood that, once that choice was made, he’d fall into a labyrinth he can’t escape from.

“Velt-kun….. I…… don’t mind if I died…. But…. If…… if it’s…….” (Mackey)

Mackey also hesitates whether to say [those words]

No, it’s not something he should say going by common sense. Else, something like [from which mouth you said it again?] will be guaranteed as the answer.

After this late, stop messing with me! No way! Like hell I could! But, I’ve already said that [if possible I want to save them].

Since that’s the case, you also have a word you need to say. That’s why I urged to him he should say it….

“Velt-kun…….. I want to save Mannie-chan’s heart…… if she were to be executed, letting her to die like this, it’s….. that’s why, please….. lend us your strength……” (Mackey)

I ended up hearing it. Mackey’s true will. And, his plea. All this time, despite I understood it, since he didn’t say it I was still able to ignore it.

But now, I’ve gone and heard it.

“Aaaaaaahhhhhh~~~ shit, so troublesome! Damn troublesome! Why the hell it turned into something this troublesome! If I were to kill, things could have ended in an instant!” (Velt)

Stop joking around!

Because of Roa!

Why the hell did I let him, really.

“But……. There’s no other way around it….. shit.” (Velt)

But despite that, I have a debt on him.

I’ve also said it when we’re having tea, that it’s exactly because of him that I was saved.

“So, how should I end it then? Mackey.” (Velt).

“Hihahahaha. We’ll think about it together….. just your word is worth the strength of a hundred.” (Mackey)

Then with this we’re truly even.

Just thinking about it already made me feel refreshed.

“Why…… Love…….. if only we kill them, it will be the world only for us…. Why are you depending on them now! Why, why are you throwing us away!” (Mannie)

How the hell am I supposed to rescue this woman. Should I hit her ass like Yuzuriha?

Shit, all I’ve lived as is just some stupid delinquent who only knew to fight….

“Really, friggin’ why I wonder…….. Mannie-chan…… But, I….…… I……” (Mackey)

“! I don’t want to hear your excuse! If you do this, Love will once again betray me! Previous life or whatnot, you won’t look at me! You’re throwing me away! Throwing me and Peace-chan away! Throwing us away!” (Mannie)

How am I even begin to talk and have mutual understanding with this woman who thought everything as difficulty?

At the very end, me and Mackey ended up expressing our real thoughts but we don’t have any especially good plan.

“Aah~, Hero. Flashy guy.” (Velt)

“Yes?” (Roa)

“Hihaha, what?” (Mackey)

“Me who have six wives. The Hero who’s popular around the world. And the flashy guy who excels at playing with girls be it here or the previous world. Guys who have bountiful experience with the discomfort because of women are squeezing out their minds about the way to save this certain woman, is the thing right now something like that?” (Velt)

“Hahaha…. it’s unfortunate but I don’t have any experience in the companionship of women.” (Roa).

“Hihahaha. I was often called the enemy of women though. On the other hand, you Velt-kun….. guess it’s impossible…. Rather than experience in love, you got tons of experience being devoured instead…” (Mackey)

So useless huh~, all of us.

I mean, Roa being Roa.

If someone wants to oppose others’ way, then bringing out an alternative way to go against it is the common sense. But he just went and brought nothing.

Rather, in this worrying situation, he for some reason is making an expression that you can feel freshness coming from it.

It’s as if trying to grasp the thing that I’m about to do.

Really, so annoying~, this guy. Seriously I’m gonna punch him like sandbag later.

But, even so….

“Haaah, what kind of excuse I should make to my wives.” (Velt)

“Even you are having that kind of worries I see, Velt-san.” (Roa)

“Velt-kun has friggin’ many of those without even realizing it.” (Mackey)

But still, I wonder why.

Despite we haven’t find any way, Mackey is facing me not as an enemy, but standing next to me to save a woman.

This situation is completely different from the gloomy atmosphere from before, it feels as if we can do anything.

“Traitor! Fine already, I’ll kill Love too! In the end Mannie is alone!” (Mannie)

Now then, rather than saving her, her situation seems have worsened. Seriously, what should we do to this princess.

“Hey, don’t say kill or having couple’s fight in front of your own daughter alright? That kind of thing could turn into trauma.” (Velt)

“Shut uuuuuuup! It’s all your fauuuuuuuuult!” (Mannie)

“I don’t have anything to do with it! All the fault is on Mackey, that guy went fuck and cuck, it’s the cause of everything! Rather, if you climb the hill further it’s all the Holy Knights’ fault!” (Velt)

“That’s right…. But, if you don’t exist Love will stay with Mannie forever! If you don’t exist, he will be with Mannie and Peace-chan as a family! Everything is your fault!” (Mannie)

……..Aaah shut up!

“Damn, and this last one is your fault!” (Velt)

“Ugh!” (Mannie)

…….I didn’t kill her. I just make an air bomb exploded for a but.

“Aaaah, geez, it’s been since the Divine Race Continent, you’re so annoying. In the first place, why the hell this crooked yandere is aiming her killing intent to me. Use that thing for when Mackey is cheating with other woman! It’s isn’t something you aim to other guy, idiot! Or, you could aim it to the Holy Knights! Like to that damn Vold!” (Velt)

Shit, things were simple with me just having to kill her a few minutes ago, but now I’m so pissed that I want to say tons of things, freaking dammit!

“Haa, haa, haa…… shut up, why is it Mannie’s fault. You don’t know anything about Mannie!” (Mannie)

She turned for worse….

“Sorry, Mackey. I knew it, I cant.” (Velt)

“That’s Fast! No, friggin’ fast! You’re giving up is frigginly fast!” (Mackey)

Well it’s impossible right, for this girl…. I mean, I don’t wanna do it, she’s more nasty than the my wives…. She’s nasty right? Though I can really say they won’t turn like this once I make a mistake, somehow it’s scary.

And then…

“Over this topic, please let me to also have a word.”

It’s Roa.

As I was annoyed thinking of what to do with this bad tempered Mannie, Roa took a step forward.

“Roa.” (Velt)

“What are you going to do?” (Mackey)

The one who stopped me was he himself. And seemingly because he understood how much trouble he brought to the world himself, he stopped me.

At that moment I somehow thought. Could it be he have some kind of ingenious idea?

“What~~~, Roa-kun. You also want to be killed~?” (Mannie)

“No, I don’t want to fight you. Therefore I also don’t want to kill you. It’s just, I have something to talk about.” (Roa)

He flung away the holy sword on his waist, Roa proved that he didn’t hold any hostility.

Oh yeah, I remember. This guy, though many things happened, but in actuality he’s a hero who represents the world and has his name go down in the history of humanity.

Originally, he’s supposed to be someone who lives in a completely different world from me who’s a delinquent. Someone of a different rank.

And that kind of guy went and stopped me without thinking about anything?

No, there should be something.

In other words, he has something that could stop Mannie…

“Princess Mannie. Your hatred….. has been so painfully conveyed. Things that you have gone through…. It must have been something so harsh that I could never imagine. However!” (Roa)

And, with a tense expression the Hero….

“However! Revenge won’t give birth to anything! It will only give birth to the chain of sadness!” (Roa)

……………………………..?

“…………………..And?”

“…….……………………yeah, and?”

“…….Yeah, I friggin’ understand, and then?”

At this moment, Mannie, me, and Mackey’s eyes turned into dots.

However, Roa looked at our reactions and with a [huh?] turned confused, and then………….. hey, this guy!

“This idiot dork!”

“Ouch!”

When I came to, Roa was kicked on the back.

“Ug, what are you doing, Velt-san!” (Roa)

“Y, you, are you an idiot! Are you idiot really? Plain and natural idiot! What’s with those flimsy and too much cliched words you just said! Are you some kind of detective cornering down a homicidal maniac? Some sort of sleuth? A fantasy world Hero shouldn’t spout around such cliched words all over the place!” (Velt)

“W, why are you, so sudden. Also what do you mean spouting around such words?” (Roa)

“Uwaah~, this guy, he’s really a lost cause. Very useless! You were also so casually got beaten up by Kishin, got scammed by the Holy Knights, and to top it all you were brainwashed and turned into such a nuisance, and when I thought you finally got a second chance you went and said some cliché stuff! Listen now! Those words are certainly the staple, but because it’s already too staple there ain’t no one that gonna agree with it and stop taking revenge, instead these days its more of if you’re defeated, then go and payback ten folds, you’d better remember that!” (Velt)

Well, it’s exactly because he’s a cliched hero that he said those cliched lines but under this situation that’s probably a different case. And so, I got irritated to Roa who truly thought that those words could convince anyone, and went to vent myself.

“Hihahaha, that’s cruel, nah, I shouldn’t laugh but that’s friggin’ cruel!” (Mackey)

Mackey already forgot about the situation and laughed.

But, since I’m inside this pain in the ass situation because of him, I need to let out all my pent up anger else my feeling won’t settle .

“But, Velt-san! No one will be happy after achieving their revenge!” (Roa)

“Like I said, she doesn’t think of it like that! She’s just some idiot girl who wants to do things that make her feel refreshed!” (Velt)

“No, even so she’s still a mother of a single child. Therefore, right now she should have already understood what compassion means. I want to believe that heart of her!” (Roa)

“Like I care you idiot! It’s not like it’s about love and the sort, he was just doing it without contraception! Rather, not talking about a parents feelings, you’re just a virgin, you’d better don’t say a thing to this advanced soap opera-like development!” (Velt).

“Wha! I don’t think this has things to do with opposite sex courtship!” (Roa)

Roa answered with br ight red face against me but I still said swearingly.

And then….

“Velt-kun, now that I remember ~, Althea-chan said just now but it seems you no longer a virgin?” (Mackey)

“!” (Velt)

“Not only that…… but with six……” (Mackey)

“…………….” (Velt)

Mackey hit his palm and casted out.

“S, six people? Velt-san, you….. um, if I’m not mistaken, there must be Princess Forna and Princess Ura? Next is, uhh~, if my memory serves me right….. Imperial Princess Eljela? The rest are?” (Roa)

“………Yuzuriha and Althea.” (Velt)

“Eh, a, are you serious? That dragonman princess and the dark elf princess?” (Roa)

Towards my honest confession, Roa turned pale and got taken aback, of course he’d got taken aback with six wives in their teens.

But as I was trying to get smart and maneuver my way around, Mackey took it for himself to smash it in.

“Hihahahaha, you forgot one right? Arusha-chan ♪ “ (Mackey)

“Stu, y, you!” (Velt)

“………………..Ee?” (Roa)

Hey, this guy is Arusha’s big brother!

“…………Is that true? Velt-san.” (Roa)

“…………….……….………….………….yeah.” (Velt)

“…………. I see………….………….” (Roa)

When I realized it, I who was always on the shouting side of things, instantly took on a seiza.

Roa’s stands up unsteadily, I wasn’t able to really see his face but just a bit.

“Velt-san….. if my memory from two years ago is correct, Arusha was certainly has fallen in love to you.” (Roa)

“I, I’m grateful for it…..” (Velt)

“Velt-san, I think I already knew you within my own limitations. But since that the case, even with six women were to have relations to you, from the attitude you use when interacting with Princess Forna and Princess Ura, I do not thought of you as the sort that would give the other women who yearns for you with slights and cruelty.” (Roa)

“Ye, yeah…..” (Velt)

“That’s why, if Arusha is really serious then I don’t particularly against even with having you as her partner. Naturally, me as her elder brother will feel a bit lonely, but for Arusha who has been without relationship because of the ever ongoing war to be able to get close to the one who she loves for the first time, instead that will make me, her elder brother to welcome and encourage you from my heart. But, that aside, there are some things that you need to understand. That is, the fact that Arusha has the right as one of the heir to the throne of our Empire. While it is indeed a happy occasion that you have bonded with my little sister, please understand that you need to be self aware of the fact that you have laid your hands on the princess of a country and it by no means a small matter. And what will become a problem is, the rank of Arusha who is the princess of our Empire. If, by this point in time, you’re able to love the girls equally without any superiority and inferiority, then I’d have nothing to say, but it is necessary to make distinction for things. A princess of the Empire who holds the right of succession, despite she married to a man from outside the Empire, to make her be just one amongst the concubines would make her standing low, we of the Arklein Empire will surely find this regrettable. However, what’s going to be the problem is, how your wives are all the princesses of other nations. Naturally, you must be worrying about the hierarchy between the princesses of your own and other countries. In this case, which race, which country will have the upper hierarchy, it will be greatly affected by the power relationship hereafter and could only expanded by the means of war. Do you perhaps think I am exaggerating things? Marriage of the royalties, it isn’t something that doesn’t have anything tied to it’s back, I would think of it as something that has many strings attached to it. Therefore, please listen. What should you do for Arusha’s rank? If I were to look and exclude her being a family member in this case, putting aside her being accomplished in literary and military also having attractive looks and figure, she truly doesn’t have any blemish, plus her dignified bearing might result in an atmosphere where she’s difficult to approach, but she’s sure to show her charming side to the one who she able to trust. She also more or less has places where her pride will be high but I’m sure she will be loyal to you, and able to be of support to you. And, while she is a princess, she has a side where she’s skilled in cooking, sewing, and other family oriented things, there was a time when she introduced her handmade cake, it brought a great number of people to tears in joy. Thereby she has showcased her accomplishments in regards to raising children, and surely will become a good mother. Ah, now that I think about it, there’s something that piques my mind, your hometown is Elfarshia Kingdom isn’t it? Will you stay in Elfarshia Kingdom in the future? I remember that Princess Forna said that that you’d become the king of Elfarshia Kingdom in the future but has it still not change now? If that’s the case, the first wife will be Princess Forna, isn’t it? Frankly it is difficult for us to accept that Arusha will become a concubine but since the time when she was in the Great Human Alliance Army, the Great Human Alliance Army and the people of Arklein Empire have already well understood Princess Forna’s feelings, it would be boorish to put aside Princess Forna and push Arusha to be the first wife. However, this begs to a question, which is the existence of Imperial Princess Eljela. The daughter of Princess Eljela, Cosmos-chan is to be your daughter, isn’t she? Presently, since Imperial Princess Eljela gave birth to your daughter first, by common convention, would the first wife position fall to Princess Eljela? And then Princess Forna will claim the second? Which makes it Arusha will then become the third wife? To be honest we can’t permit her being the third wife. Not only that, the whole world has known that you and Princess Ura have enacted a marriage ceremony. While Arusha still hasn’t have hers, has shr? Which means, could it be, she would be the fourth wife? I won’t allow that, Velt Jeeha-san. As one of the royalties of the Arklein Empire and the elder brother of Arusha, I can’t accept that my little sister to have a low rank upon marriage at different country. And for that, how about I suggest something? For the ranking, how about it isn’t determined by the birth of daughter but a son instead? Either way, I understand that it is difficult for her to hold the position as legal wife under this current situation. However, for you who bear the burden of the next era, if Arusha were able to give birth to your successor, then she would have ample chance to become the legal wife. And so, by this mean, Arusha would be able to fight against Princess Forna, Princess Ura, and Imperial Princess Eljela, on equal footing even at this moment.” (Roa)

At this moment, me and Mackey thought. This guy is a siscon as well as….

“Since that’s the case, Velt Jeeha-san. By all means, please give Arusha your affection. Once Arusha gave birth, she will definitely be on the upper ranks. So please, I ask your affection for Arusha!” (Roa)

“This stupid brother and sister…..” (Velt)

As well as, this guys is without doubt, Arusha’s elder brother! Stupid elder brother!

“……………………Don’t ignore Mannieeeeeeeeeee!”(Mannie)

Ooooh, and, yeah, we’ve so simply forgot about her.

This is bad, We were getting sidetracked by that stupid story, now that made Mannie needlessly angry.

With this, she’d be getting even more hard to convince.

“Whoops. That was close, now isn’t the time for that, is it?” (Roa)

“You’re really airheaded huh…. This stupid Hero!” (Velt).

“Hihahahaha…… but somehow, with Velt-kun here, things in the end will become like this…. Yup, it’s so like Velt-kun.” (Macey)

Nah, what do you mean with so like me? I mean, hey, your wife situation is getting worse, is this okay?

Really, what should we do about this?

“Geez, I won’t forgive you! Daisy! Daisy can you hear me? Daisy where’s Black Duck? Where is Black Duck? How about Pitt! Where is Pitt now!” (Mannie)

So she’s trying to make telepathy call now. I mean, so she’s trying to call out some reinforcement to this place?

“Daisy! You can hear me right? Come here quickly! You don’t have enough magic power? Then call Pitt here! Eh, he isn’t there? Then how about Black Duck! How about Mail! ….. She disappeared? Why! Why is everyone betraying Mannie! Hurry and teleport here! Where’s Bokkinopio! Where’s Goofer! Where’s Snow White! Where’s Paa-san! What are the other Friends doing!” (Mannie)

Well, Pitt won’t be fighting anymore. And Black Duck, I wonder what happened to him.

Daisy also seems to don’t have any more power to fight….

“That’s right! How about Twinkle Bell? How about Happyterpan? They’re there right! Take the two of them here already!” (Mannje)

No well, those two are Fiari and Neeto….

“What’s wrong? They’re there right? Get the two of them here quickly! Rather than the useless Daisy, those useful two are better! They’re traitor? Everyone’s a traitor! Shut up shut up shut up! I tell you to get them here now!” (Mannie)

No good huh, Mannie has lost her mind so much that she can’t no longer tell that Neeto and Fiari are already on our side.

Just looking at her is already painful, really.

“Hic, m, mother….” (Peace)

Peace is a bit too pitiful now. Her chest is being pressed so tightly.

And then, teleportation magic circle was floating up inside the cockpit.

Daisy seemingly doesn’t feel like to go against Mannie’s words anymore, so as Mannie’s wished, Neeto and Fiari were….

“Nom, rero, nom, smooch, nhm….. Ehehe, Neeto-kun~”

“S, stop it already. Wh, what are you doing at a time like this.”

“Ehehehe, it’s fine isn’t it~. We’re lucky that no one is looking.” (Fiari)

“But still, there are kids.” (Neeto)

“If it’s about that, didn’t Pitt-san said that he’d look after all of them? Besides, after coming together this far inside the forest with no presence of anyone, there’s no way anything could happen right?” (Fiari)

“But, mgh.” (Neeto)

“Okay okay, time to close your lips~. Try to read the atmosphere a bit~, Neeto-kun. It’s already over for the world with how Godzilla and Kingdora coming out, so how about make some memory at the end of it~.” (Fiari)

……………..…………….. Do they not notice us? What the heck are these guys doing.

“Ehehehe~ Neeto-kun your tongue is so big. You can instantly turn my body sticky with your saliva huh~.” (Fiari)

“Uwa, dirty….” (Neeto)

“What did you say! Grrrr, I won’t forgive you! Since Neeto-kun said something like that…. How about I gobble up this drill on your crotch?” (Fiari)

“Hey, stop it! Seriously stop, stop!” (Neeto)

“Nope! Even Ayase-chan has climbed up the staircase of adulthood! So I can’t afford to lose!” (Fiari)

Yup, they don’t notice us huh. But, it’s about time to stop it….

“For once, a kid is looking…. This in heat fairy and virgindrilla.” (Velt)

“Hee………………” (Fiari)

“Eh…………………. What?” (Neeto)

As I vacantly muttered, the surprised Fiari and Neeto turned to look.

And as they stutteringly look around, the existences of Mackey, Roa, and Mannie who have their eyes turned into dots, and Peace who is tilting her head unable to understand the situation at all entered their sight, firstly the two pinched their cheek to confirm whether they aren’t hallucinating, and then upon recognizing that this is reality they nodded to each other and then…….

“HOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

“Why!”

I should ask that to you guys instead!

“Wait, wa, wait! What’s the meaning of this, Asakura-kun! Th, rhis, this is!” (Fiari)

“No, this isn’t what you think! I’m, no, you’re just seeing things. This is the illusion that Fiari showed. You guys are inside illusion!” (Neeto}

Yeah, I understand already, fix up your disheveled clothes and zip up your drill …

“Who are they? A fairy and….. subterranean?” (Mannie)

“……..Say Velt-kun, could it be, it’s these two?” (Mackey)

“Yeah.” (Velt)

Things already turned into such a chaos that it made my head hurt.

“So~ uh…… you’re Ena-chan right? Can you tell who am I? I’m Kagami.” (Mackey)

“………….Hee………….. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” (Fiari)

“Ah, ummmmmmm~~~, and Dokai Shion-kun? Right?” (Mackey)

“I knew it already! I knew that you don’t remember me, I knew!” (Neeto).

Aah, see, Mackey, you should have said you remember him even if it’s a lie, that’s too pitiful of him.

“Like I said, DON’T IGNORE MANNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” (Mannie)

Ooh, that’s right! Nah stop stop, my pace has been completely out of track now.

“Wait, just what is going on? Where is this place? Also, why is the vice president also here?” (Fiari)

“Aah~, well, many things happened, right now we’re figuring out of what to do to this woman who has completely turned into demon of revenge.” (Velt)

“Haah? Isn’t she so abnormally angry! What did you do really?” (Fiari)

No well, it’s exactly that I didn’t do anything is the cause things have worsened this much….

“What what what? Twinkle Bell and Happyterpan are betraying Mannie too? Betraying Manniieeeeeeee!” (Mannie)

This Mannie looks as if she’s about to transform into something. Veins are popping out all over her face, her angry look is so grotesque that it’s scary. I mean, Peace is already looking faint.

“Hey, Asakura, what happened to her?” (Neeto)

“Like I said. If I kill then it’d over very quick, but now things have turned into quite the pain in the ass. I want to do something for this revenge-stricken princess but nothing really went well.” (Velt)

“And then?” (Neeto)

“No matter what I do the talk doesn’t even connect, I mean, Mannie kept getting left behind by the topic you see. That made her thought she got ignored and needlessly snapped out. Really, what to do here.” (Velt)

Yeah. The problem right now is, how to save Mannie’s heart. But with even Mackey felt it’s impossible, the current situation has turned for worse instead.

Honestly, what could be done to save Mannie here?

As I was thinking about that, unexpected words came from Neeto.

“Uh….. rather than this demon of revenge…. Instead, how about we keep ignoring her and let her anger dissipate?” (Neeto)

“Haah…….?” (Velt)

“I mean she’s …. Rather than taking revenge, no matter how I see it she’s more like that of a [drama queen].” (Neeto)

At that moment, me, Mackey, and Roa tilted our heads.

“Drama……. queen?”

“I also have a drama queen fairy close by so I could tell, honestly, for drama queens, you have lost the moment you give them regards, with you ignoring them you can break their heart…….. Fuh…… after having always be at the class’ corner and observe people, there’s no deceiving my eyes who no one has ever pay attention to before.” (Neeto)

Uh well, putting that aside….. what is this [drama queen]?
