Chapter 264 Surprise Attack From The Super Ignored
Chapter 264 Surprise Attack From The Super Ignored
What does he mean with that? When I asked Neeto that, Neeto flashed a self torturing smile with a [fufuh].
“Listen, Asakura. What’s she’s on about isn’t revenge, she went and did absurd things to get the attention of people, she’s the sort that’s dependent on others and can’t be alive without them. Well, to some extent these kind of guys have some grudges to the world, but they’re the kind that’s have the most broken heart.” (Neeto)
Ohhoo~, and so was me, Mackey, and Roa’s were listening with interest.
“And so, Neeto-kun, who is this drama queen fairy you spoke of~?” (Fiari)
“See, it’s annoying right? This kind of thing. This is the kind where she’d be spoiled with being pampered. Kagami, you have already spoiled her quite a lot right?” (Neeto)
Mackey tried to be snuggle close to the broken hearted Mannie and save her. But, from Neeto’s point of view, that isn’t saving her? But only spoiling her?
“But, Neeto, she has lived quite the heavy life you know?” (Mackey)
“In what kind?” (Neeto)
“You see, back when she was a child, because of her unique power, the memories of her was erased from the whole world for the sake of protecting her. Even from her parents, family, and everyone close to her. And because of that, she grew up to be selfish, everything was taken away from her.” (Mackey)
And then, what Neeto does?
“Haaaah~~~~~~~~~~~~~” (Neeto)
He went and had some uncalled for sigh.
Why? And then…..
“Despite not having that memory erasure magic used on him, you got this guy here who was forgotten by his classmates.” (Neeto)
Tl: the scale a bit too different huh
“ “Sorry Neeto-kun.” “
Well of course! Me and Mackey spontaneously lowered our heads and apologized.
And yeah, strangely we agreed to it.
It’s not like we can’t save her. It’s just she’s too spoiled.
We sympathized with Mannie’s past, and because we’re careless with that part we ended up not noticing it.
In other words, to save Mannie, we need to break her current heart.
It’s to not let her be dependent to the one she’s depending on.
No matter if she’s doing good thing or bad thing, or even quarrelling, we shouldn’t put a care about it.
In short, it’s not about strength.
This fight is about breaking Mannie’s heart.
Then…..
“Why? Why are you talking so jumbled like that! Fine, whatever! Mannie will kill everyone!” (Mannie)
So I shouldn’t get involved with that huh.
But still, ignoring, avoiding attacks, and then breaking her heart.
It’s unexpectedly difficult.
But, there’s no other way around it.
“Say, Mackey.” (Velt)
“Yeah.” (Mackey)
“So I’ve decided my course of action. Though I didn’t tell you anything about it even now, but I’ll settle things my own way.” (Velt)
“…………I see.” (Mackey)
Something that we should do while leaving Mannie to herself.
“Whichever way it is, it’ll lead to your destruction at this rate. The Holy Knights also won’t protect you after coming this far. Black Duck and Pitt aren’t here either. You’re completely alone and helpless now.” (Velt)
“Yeah, I friggin’ understand. If it’s the resolve to be destroyed and fall into hell is what you’re talking about, then I already have it long time ago.” (Mackey)
Rather than calling it the end, what I did just now was more like a final confirmation.
“Wait~ Love and Velt-kun, what are you doing? What are you talking about! You’re going to fight Mannie now, aren’t you!” (Mannie)
Getting myself fell for what Roa was saying, I stopped thinking about finishing off Mackey, and accepted to do something about this mad Mannie.
Then, what to do from now on?
“It’s just, if despite all this…. You still want to be saved, then quickly say it. Like just now, say it loud and clear. So clear that I could understand what you mean even when you not speaking…. We don’t have a simple kind of relation after all.” (Velt)
If he wanted to save her then he should say it clearly. Just like how he begged to help out in saving Mannie just now.
However Mackey shook his head.
“Velt-kun, you see, I well understood that I’ve live my life with malice and strewing ill intentions all around. That’s why, I won’t beg for my own life. But, if I were to die now I won’t be able to die in peace. That’s why this is my final wish.” (Mackey)
“……. Is it really fine?” (Velt)
“I want to save her heart. Through thin and thick, for the one I lived together the longest with in this world, the one who stayed by my side longer than anyone else…. I want to reward her at this very end…. That’s why…. As for the rest…. For Peace-chan…” (Mackey)
“Hey hey hey, I’m not some place that accept orphans alright” (Velt)
“Oh my? Despite you already took in Samejima-kun’s child, you can’t take mine? Ah, so when it was with Samejima-kun’s child, rather than taking her as a daughter you’re taking in a wife huh~. Hmh~, Peace still isn’t even two years now though… but yup, after twelve years she gonna be be friggin’ beauty you know!” (Mackey)
“From now on, seriously think about the place and situation for that kind of thing! I’m gonna get killed if those six were to catch wind of that.” (Velt)
“…..From now on…. Yeah.” (Mackey)
He doesn’t have any attachments with his own life.
Seeing Mackey smiled sadly like that, I could do nothing but bitterly smiled.
“Hey, Asakura…. What’s with the situation?” (Neeto)
“Um, from the talk just now, he’s totally Kagami huh…. So that’s what happened?” (Fiari)
Neeto and Fiari also have already guessed the situation as expected.
That, Kagami wants to end everything at this place.
“Ena-chan, Dokai-kun….. Actually, I wanted to take my time and talk a bit with you guys.” (Mackey)
“That’s! Is there really nothing that could be done? Well, that’s, when thinking about what Love and Peace has done, it feels as if there’s nothing that could be done about it, but still…” (Fiari)
They understood the situation but still, their feelings can’t agree with it. However, Neeto held back Fiari’s words.
“I rarely go to the surface so I don’t know much about the situation there but, in short, on the surface world Love and Peace is making enemies all around right?” (Neeto)
“Yeah. I think so. Just the other day, Love and Peace destroyed the organization World Alliance which was composed of the humans, demihumans, and demons. A great number of each countries’ soldiers, generals, and royalties died. Well… even with dissolving the organization, as expected the top brass won’t be able to escape death penalty….. or could be said, the world won’t accept it other way.” (Velt)
From what I have seen so far, things are no longer on the level of being vague.
This time, all lands all races on the world wish to make the heads of Mackey and Mannie to fall down.
“This kind of fantasy world…. Are they do stuff like massacring the entire clan and have their heads hang on display?” (Neeto)
“Hihahahaha, unexpectedly Dokai-kun is so unreserved. You bearing grudges because of being forgotten?” (Mackey).
“Forgotten? That word is wrong, Kagami. Because in the first place, you guys weren’t forget. It’s because, you guys don’t even aware of my existence at all.” (Neeto)
“…….Hihahaha. Friggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin’! Somehow, you’re interesting huh, Dokai-kun! That kind of negativity is fine too ♪ I’ve also said this to Velt-kun but, had I met with you in different circumstances, we’d be getting along well!” (Mackey)
“Nah~, we sure wouldn’t be able to. Even if how we met was different, the level of my existence that could be perceived is the lowest possible.” (Neeto)
Yeah, there’s nothing that could be done about it. No way could be found to save Mackey’s and Mannie’s life that is.
No, it still hasn’t completely gone.
If me and my comrades concentrate our power, honestly we’d have the power to fight this half destroyed world.
And exactly because of that, if I were to conquer this world then anything goes.
It’s just, even if I were to try that to the best I can, what gonna come after it?
And so long as the world doesn’t forget Mackey and Mannie…
“Hey…. can you hear Mannie’s voice? You don’t forget about Mannie right? You remember about Mannie right? Hey! Mannie is speaking to you!” (Mannie)
The world will always targeting Mannie.
[Papa! Hey, papa! It stopped you know? What happened? Hey, papa?] (Cosmos)
[Nii-san, you okay right there? You’re alive right? The Godzilla has been stopping since a while now, nii-san did it right? Hey,nii-san!] (Dora)
And, hearing Love and Peace has been overthrown, the same thing happened to the guys on the ground burning with rampage.
“Guwahahaha, as I’d expect of son-in-law! Did you cut off the head of that little girl Mannie?” (Isamu)
“For the fools who plotted against me, I want to tear them limbs for limbs-noda!” (Erosvitch).
“Ufu~n, that’s right~. I also would like to give that too mischievous child plenty of punishment ~.” (Yubamensch)
“But still, after looking Velt-kun went inside…. I have some kind of bad feeling as to how it’d be settled-zou.” (Kaizer)
Everyone at the surface is waiting. For the end of this battle.
For that moment when Mannie is brought down.
“Velt, what kind of answer will you come to?” (Forna)
“I wonder if he will think about some strange things?” (Arusha)
And, what is the answer I will have?
“Mannie is here! Mannie is Mannie! Look at Mannie! Look at Mannieeeee! Looooook! Don’t…… forget Mannie!” (Mannie)
Handing herself over to the anger and tears, her outburst might have been the last of her strength.
Mannie who was at first laughing madly, has now turned into something like a lost child by only something of this degree.
And for the Godzilla to be moved by something like that, it gonna be devoid of sharpness nor strength.
Merely moving.
“Whooa! That big fella’s movement has turned dull!”
“That amazing little girl and Velt Jeeha who came inside did it!”
“As expected of the man that chief acknowledged!”
“Go Velt Jeeha! Put an end to everything!”
The demihumans are sending me cheers and calls, for right now, for everything to….
“That won’the cuttlefish at Friday!”
I felt as though hearing someone’s voice.
And at that moment.
“! That’s…..”
At that moment, Roa who is coincidentally looking at the sky took notice.
It wasn’t because he’s looking at the sky to ignore Mannie, it was completely coincidence.
However, having followed that voice, the moment we look outside, we noticed something strange.
“What? Those guys, where are they looking?” (Velt)
The soldiers who are eagerly waiting for the end of the war are looking at something upside.
It’s not the Godzilla. Is it the sun….?
“Huh, what? There’s something being projected at the sun!” (Velt)
“That is… it’s the same as my [Circle Mirror]!” (Mackey)
“Haah? Is it that item you have?” (Velt)
“No well, it’s not strange if someone else also have it, but why now?” (Mackey)
Circle Mirror. It made the sun or other things into it’s screen, and pass on a projection to the whole world, a convenient and bothersome magic item.
Since because of that thing my name got to be spread out to the entire world.
“What? There’s that kind of fantasy item on the surface? I mean, why now? What? Is it something like world wide public execution live broadcast?” (Neeto)
We strangely agreed to what Neeto said but still, who’s the one doing this?
With this I won’t be able to get [vague] that much anymore.
But, it happened at that time.
“Take a look! There’s someone behind the sun!” (Roa)
That’s right, on the midair at height the same as Godzilla’s head, there’s someone over there.
But, the moment we look at that person, we doubt our eyes.
It’s not because the fact that there’s someone this high in the sky.
Because in this world, it’s not strange for some people to be flying up high in the air.
Then, the way they fly? Well, if you say it’s shocking then it is shocking. It’s not like they have wings on their back. They’re being equipped with something like a [flame spouting rocket booster], floating in the sky.
“Hey, what the heck’s going on?” (Velt)
But, what truly shocked us wasn’t that part.
“What is that?”
“No way…..”
We look up at Mannie who we decided to ignore previously.
And, Mannie herself also shocked.
“Why? Why, Mannie is…. Mannie is… Mannie is over there?” (Mannie)
That’s right, [Mannie] is right here.
However right now, on the sky above this battlefield, someone who dons the [costume of Mannie] has appeared.
But, since Mannie is here, the one wearing Mannie’s costume must be fake.
Then, who is it?
“Wahhahhahhahhhahha!”
At the next moment, that someone grandly laughed.
A high pitched voice. It’s the voice of a woman.
“Well well well~ not bad eh, ladies and gents of the world! To think you could corner this Mannie this much, worthy of praisquid!”
At that moment, I wonder how many of the tens of thousands soldiers in this place got their eyes turned into dots?
I wonder how many of the people in this place experienced a shock as if having their hearts within a tight grasp?
“But sweet still! Mannie won’t lose by only something like this! To defeat Mannie, your training is still lacking, your practice! Time for me to get fired up! I can do anything while fired up!”
What in the world is this….
“But, since you managed to corner Mannie this much, I shall give you a gift for your fighting spirit! [Controlling Mackey Mouse from the shadows], guiding the world into chaos, [the mastermind of all], [the very identity of this Mannie Mouse]! Janjagajanjanjanja~~~~n.”
That…. [that woman], what is she doing!
She declared herself as Mannie, saying that she’s the mastermind of everything, from this battlefield, and then to the whole world via circle mirror, this woman is…..
“Impossible…. Idiot! What the hell are you thinking!” .l
The woman took off the costume head and exposed her real face.
Her fluffy grey hair is long and fluttering, as if two peas in the same pod with Mannie. No, she slightly looks more mature?
But, there’s a definite difference from Mannie. It’s the glow in her [eyes].
They’re overflowing with vitality, the color of her eyes that’s so full of life force, they’re completely different than Mannie’s whose eyes are dyed with despair.
That woman is….
“That’s right! Mannie Mouse’s true identity is…. Jajaaan! The runaway from home princess of the former Balbadie Kingdom! It’s this very Klonia Balbadie!”
Yaaaay, and so goes the woman who called out her own name as if making fun of the world. And that woman is Klonia.
She took of the head as well as the rest of the costume, revealing herself.
Compared to Mannie who wears princess dress of fairy tales, this woman wears something completely different.
“So that’s, Klonia….” (Velt)
She wears black tanktop with navel exposed, as well as the camouflage patterns hot pants that’s rarely seen in this world.
With her clothes being what it is, they only hide the vital parts while leaving her back being so heartily exposed.
And, naturally eyes will ended up getting directed to it, those things are…. They’re as big as Eljela’s.
But if Eljela’s are like watermelon or melon, then hers are?
“P, pineapples?”
It wasn’t me. Neeto said that.
But I agree with him.
Watermelons, melons, or pineapple, I don’t know the standard for the size but it’s around that.
The snugly filled tanktop is as if it’s about to burst out.
But honestly, her chest, her tightly wrapped butt, her splendid waist, they’d certainly rob people’s eyes, but putting that aside…
“Now then, how about fighting this Mannie Mouse aka Klonia Balbadie, all of you! Even for me, getting attacked by so many people like this is making my blood all boiling up~“ (Klonia)
It’s just, the way she smiled like some brat despite being a girl is making me fascinated, my heart was taken away.
However, my head is in chaos at the same time.
Why has she appeared at this kind of time and in this kind of manner?
No, there could only one reason. She already told us everything by declaring that [she herself is Mannie Mouse].
“Why? Why? Why is…. Why is onee-chan here!” (Mannie)
Why is she doing something like that? It’s because of her huh….
“What’s the meaning of this? Why has Princess Klonia appeared, and why did she announce that she was Mannie Mouse?” (Roa)
“Velt-kun, this……. I mean, she is…. Velt-kun?” (Mackey)
“Asakura-kun?” (Fiari)
“Asakura?” (Neeto)
I don’t know from where till where she has thought it out.
But, I understand the reason of her [current] action.
“That idiot. She…… does she want to be the substitute for Mannie?” (Velt)
I could only think of that.
“Hmm~h, such a complicated matter…. What is she up to?” (Isamu)
“Mannie Mouse’s trwue identity is supposedly Princess Mannie rwight?” (Yubamensch)
“Klonia? Hmm~h, I know not-noda.” (Erosvitch)
“Kishin, what’s wrong-zou?” (Kaizer)
“Fufu, this is, can she not make such a surprise?” (Kishin)
“Right….. she…. Wat she’s doin’ really.” (Jackpot)
The real face and true identity of Mannie Mouse is only known to the Holy Knights, Demon Kings, and a fraction of the guys here.
“So you have come…. Klonia….. so you weren’t able to throw away your feelings.” (Venbai)
“Mister Venbai, tell us about this situation. What happened?” (Kishin)
It’s because, she wants to plant the awareness to the whole world at the same time that she is Mannie Mouse by the broadcast.
“It’s Oneeeee-chan!” (Cosmos)
“Ma ma mamamama master, why are you here!” (Dora)
With this, even if the top brass of the various races were to correct this, the stream of this broadcast still won’t stop.
“Nihehehehe~, iee~i, Cosmos-chan, long time no seelery! Also~, Do~ra~chan~? Later, you’ll be getting some su~per punishment from master okay~” (Klonia)
As she’s taking that kind of idiotic attitude, what she has gone through, what she has come to see and experience are something that I don’t know.
And even now, without showing any kind of bitterness, she even could bear the burden of having to greatly shake the world to save her little sister.
No matter if she has to trade away the live she’d have from now on.
“What! Why, Mannie’s onee-chan is! You’re wrong! Mannie is Mannie! Mannie doesn’t care about onee-chan! Mannie doesn’t care! Mannie doesn’t care alright!” (Mannie)
In a way, the plan to ignore Mannie that Neeto spoke before has succeeded.
“That’s…. Arusha, could it be, that person is….” (Forna)
“Now way, what is she….. what is she doing, that girl!” (Arusha)
“Seriously….. totes super impossible, right?” (Althea)
“She isn’t Mannie. Who is she? That woman who looks like Mannie!” (Yuzuriha)
It must be to make the whole world lost their interest in Mannie Balbadie.
Why, because the one who declared that she is the mastermind behind everything has appeared.
“Hey, she said she’s the true identity of Mannie Mouse!”
“That bitch, she finally showed her real face!”
“No, wait a sec here. Didn’t she say that she is Klonia Balbadie?”
“Balbadie? The one from human continent!”
“Wait a bit….. then, is she really the mastermind of all this?”
And as one would expect, the revelation of Mannie Mouse’s true face shook the battlefield, and at that, an opportunity visited.
“Hey, she’s getting out of the Godzilla now!”
“It’s our chance! If we bring her down, this war will over!”
“Kill! Let’s kill that woman right this instant!”
Well of course things gonna turn like that.
The killing intent and hostility that originally should have been directed to Mannie. Klonia has now accepted them all.
“Aaahhahhahhahha, This Klonia won’t losenjuu Kannon! And then, how about I go and conquer the world~?” (Klonia)
TL note: Senjuu Kannon is uh, a Buddhist deity. The one like in ultimate skill of Hashirama Senjuu.
Roars of anger arose, and the morale seething all across the battlefield, caused by the appearance of the mastermind behind everything.
All of them are exploding.
“The honored elite warriors of demihumans! At this battlefield, the big boss of the enemy as well as our greatest target has appeared! Don’t pay your attention to that huge lump! Let’s cut off her head even for a second faster!”
Though it was the shout of some unknown general or captain, there was no one among the soldiers who went against it.
“Wait, this is bad! Stop it, all of you!” (Arusha)
“Please wait, she isn’t Mannie Mouse! She’s fake!” (Forna)
“Hm hm? Sure is bad huh~, they just won’t stop, aren’t they?” (Isamu)
“It’s useless-nanoda. Their moral is at climax. It’s to the point that no one’s voice will be able to reach them, look at their faces filled with hatred-nanoda!” (Erosvitch)
The tens of thousands belligerent demihumans who’s at the climax of their morale.
And simply because of that, there’s no stopping these guys who’s no voice able to reach anytime soon.
And finally, the attack starts.
“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil her!”
“The enemy of my fallen comrade in arms! At this moment, everything shall end!”
“Mannie Mouse! No, Klonia Balbadie! Prepare yourself!”
Spears, arrows, swords, magic, they are all launched and targeting Klonia who’s in midair.
“Fufu, aah~ geez! Can’t help it! I shall demonstrate to you what onee-chan power is! Dora-chan! Take Cosmos-chan and run away to a far place!” (Klonia)
A bit of smile crept up on Klonia’s lips as everything happened, she’s about to make an intercepting attack.
“Really… what the heck are you doing… just after appearing for some seconds…. You went and make enemies out of the world.” (Velt)
As my mouth uttered my feelings, when I realized it I already stepped out of the Godzilla alone and floated up.
“Fuwa Fuwa World Revolution!” (Velt)
------------------------!!!!!!!!!
And then, I shielded against all the Killing intent aiming at Klonia in the battlefield.
“Wh, what? What happened?”
“All the weapons and magic were as if being manipulated…..”
“Hey, look! There’s another person over there!”
“That’s!”
As if pouring down water on the burning battlefield, I already moved before realizing it.
“Aah! Papa! It’s papa!”
“Oho, nii-san, so you’re fine!”
As I nodded to Cosmos and Dora, I stopped in midair.
And around ten meters ahead of me, without looking back, is Klonia who only kept her back turned on me.
“………………….So it’s Cosmos-chan’s papa~………………… congratulations on your marriage corn.” (Klonia)
Her voice, it wasn’t high pitched and high spirited voice like before.
There’s sadness mixed within it.
In response to such a voice I’m…
“Hm, hm hm, cough.” (Velt)
“?” (Klonia)
I cleared up my throat a bit, it’s rather embarrassing but….
“Ah~, what we have here? Ain’tcha [Kamino]-san? Been been since previous life.” (Velt)
“!” (Klonia)
It’s out of my character so it’s embarrassing. But still, I said it despite that.
And then, Klonia who has her back on me gradually trembled bit by bit, and finally, she turned her face to me….
“Pff, kuku, ahaha, kuku, aha, ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” (Klonia)
She unable to bear it any longer and laughed.
Just by looking at her laugh, I understood.
Yeah, [she] is [her].
And right now, her name is Klonia Balbadie, and that now she’s so glamorous and pretty that it’s wasted on her, but be that as it may, the inside is [her].
She is…..
“Hahaha, aha, ……haa~, that made me lmaod, it’s cowardly to use surprise attack you know~? …….Asakura-kun!” (Klonia)
She’s undoubtedly, Kamino Mina.
The moment I thought that, so many words rushed about in my mind.
“Honestly, right now, I went without plan at all with dealing with this situation……..” (Velt)
And, things I want to say, things I want to do, things I want to hear, and including this situation, there are so many of them that I lost count.
“Kamino….. I died with regrets, I want to tell you Asakura Ryuuma’s last wish.” (Velt)
“?” (Klonia)
“Asakura Ryuuma’s life was full of regrets…. But still, it was fun….” (Velt)
Amidst that, the words coming out of my mouth were so short, sounding foolish.
“Asakura Ryuuma was glad to have met Kamino.” (Velt)
“!” (Klonia)
But, that one sentence was filled with so much of my feelings.
“That time, you dragged my hand and brought me to school…. And for that, I thank you.” (Velt)
Yes, it’s already seventeen years since Velt Jeeha was reborn.
Finally, I’m able to find her.
