Chapter 265 Rebel

 Chapter 265 Rebel 

The tens of thousands soldiers that have gathered on the battlefield.

The gazes of the tens of millions, hundred millions of people, or even more from the myriad of creatures passed via the circle mirror.

But right now at this place, there are only two of them.

“Only for telling you this, I have finally arrived at the end of samsara. But still, finally I managed to do it.” (Velt)

Thank you. I have always regretted not being able to say that word and died.

Right now, for this very moment, I couldn’t care less about the world.

It just, for me who has said my farewell to my previous life, this sole dying wish of Asakura Ryuuma exists for this moment.

“………Hmm~h…….” (Klonia)

In response to me, even as her eyes are slightly wet, somehow she purposely fold her hands and tilted her head.

“The end? This Derekura-kun is a bit too honest, it’s making it suspicious instead~, …….Ha! Could it be, you’re brainwashed!” (Klonia)

True that, me of the past absolutely won’t say something like that.

But, it’s the current me now so I said it.

“Kuhahahaha, it ain’t like that. Even for an idiot who rebels against everything, his views in life will change a bit once he died and then reborn.” (Velt)

“Uwahhoi! Wait, you’re really Asakura-kun? Wait now, something feels itchy here!” (Klonia)

“It’s fine already just accept it! Keep fooling around like this and your airhead theater’s stage will be dyed with blood!” (Velt)

“Ah, I knew it, it’s Asakura-kun.” (Klonia)

Geez…… this kind of exchange too, somehow it’s nostalgic.

But, right now, while it feels nostalgic it also feels saddening.

Because….

“But still, you splendidly went and done it huh, Kamino. Sure enough, you’re getting the world as your enemy.” (Velt)

“…………Nihahahahaha, it feels like the showtime when the evil demon king and dark hero goes berserk! …. Though…. Since I’m stupid….. I only can do something like this for my little sister….” (Klonia)

She wants to take all of Mannie’s sins for herself, and shoulder them.

“You see, Asakura-kun. I’ve lived with nothing shackling me, so free…. And, after knowing many things, I realized something. The truth of the world….. and because of the hands of Holy Knights, I even forget about my little sister….. also, the sin that Kamino Mina has done to Asakura Ryuuma…. There are so mangy mangy sufferings….. uh huh, so many many of them.” (Klonia)

“……..Hey, do you have a condition where you need to insert those gags even when having a serious conversation?” (Velt)

“But you see, I wasn’t able to find the answer to any of them. It’s the same to you too. Truthfully, had I come earlier….. we could have meet sooner… But I wasn’t able to. If I, didn’t force you to come to the school, you won’t ended up dying… yes, if I were to put it into words… perhaps it's because I haven’t stood back on my feet…. That’s why I escaped.” (Klonia)

While looking sad but also shy, Kamino or could be said Klonia is conveying to me the unimaginable stormy life that has piled up as she lived. 

What someone like me who know nothing about it could say to her? But I’ll say it. If it things about Asakura Ryuuma, then I am the one who knows better than anyone else.

“Kamino. The reason I went to school and that school trip it wasn’t because you forcefully brought me there.” (Velt)

“Eh wha?” (Klonia)

“What triggered it was indeed because you Kamino was there. But, after that, the reason why Asakura Ryuuma kept going to school was……..” (Velt)

At that moment, my mouth moved so naturally.

The words I about to say, they were as if something that have no meaning, something so far away from the current situation of the world.

What am I about to say with the situation being like this? After everything that has happened? But, one thing that I know.

It’s because those are the [thank you] and the [feeling] that I’ve always hide inside my heart.

“Stop, Velt…. To a girl other than us, you’re ….” 

“I don’t like this… this kind of thing… I absolutely don’t like it!” 

“Velt-sama…. Why….” (Eljela)

I know. They try to plug their ears, looking away, and an expression of sorrow on their faces, the feeling they have.

But, 

“Raise up your face, all of you. And, burn it into your eyes”

“Forna?” 

“If you lower your face, it will mean that you accepted our defeat. But it’s different right? She is the strongest opponent that we have to overcome!” (Forna)

As she’s saying that, I can see that Forna bit strongly into her lips, and strongly clenched her fist.

But, if Asakura Ryuuma’s last wish were not to be said here, he will never be able to rest in peace.

That’s why, I’ll tell her.

“It’s just, I want to be together with the girl I’m in love with.” (Velt)

“!” (Klonia)

Yes, I’ve always wanted to say that.

When the bus was met with that accident, amidst my hazy consciousness, as Kamino’s collapsed body was burned inside my exhausted eyes, I’ve always wanted to say those words.

I’m sure Kamino must be dumbfounded and surprised.

Me too, I’m feeling embarrassed somehow…

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! A, Asakura-kun, you like Ayase-chan that much?” (Klonia)

“Yeah, I fell in……………………?” (Velt)

…………eh?

“My~~~~~ my~~~~, geez, even the playankee Velt-kun is unexpectedly pure~, thanks for the meal♪ Yeah, I see I see~.” (Klonia)

Am I hearing things? Nah, why is it Ayase?

“H, hey, Kamino, you….” (Velt)

“Well~, a delinquent and honor student, I’ve always thought for a long time that they’re well suited~, well~, I see isee~.” (Klonia)

“!” (Velt)

“But, since that matter with Cosmos-chan already out of the bag, I don’t know what Ayase-chan gonna do, I only whispered things to her a bit though, well~, these kinds of things are great aren’t they?” (Klonia)

No matter how I think about it, it should have been you going by the circumstances! What’s with this thickheaded airhead woman! 

I mean, that Arusha, why is she doing guts pose while half crying! 

When I realized it I’ve already hit damn hard on Kamino’s head.

“Why the hell you went like that, this stupid woman! I mean, why Ayase!”(Velt)

“Ouch, what are you doing doing? Hitting a girl is the worst you know! Now I’m angery and gonna turn into a demon!” (Klonia)

“Dammit! What’s wrong with you! You died and then reincarnated but your head has gotten even more worse, this bastard!” (Velt)

Ah, but this is how’s Kamino is like.

Now that I think about it, including Sensei, the whole class seemed to have already knew it.

But regardless of that, the girl in question still have no clue.

Such a dense girl….. but, since that’s exactly how she’s like, it makes me feel complicated.

“Hey, what’s Velt Jeeha been doing since a while now! He went to the front of the enemy’s big boss but why is he speaking too amiably!” 

And, now that I remember, what to do with this current situation?

“Oi, Velt Jeeha, kill that woman quick!” 

“That’s right, kill her! You can save this world like that! It will put and end for the long wars in this world!”

“Please kill her! Please kill Klonia Balbadie!”

And that’s isn’t coming from just this battlefield.

The world that’s seeing the circle mirror.

----Save us, we don’t want to die yet!

----Save this world!

----Hero Velt, save us!

----Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!

----Put an end to this war!

Human Continent, Demon Continent, Demihuman Continent, as they see the sight of what’s happening from far away, I’m sure they’re raising their voices.

Geez, they’re really fussy.

“Kamino, the world’s opinion is as you can see, so what’s the next scenario?” (Velt)

“Huh? Nothing in particular. I’ll just do something flashy and then escape at a suitable time, was thinking like that~.” (Klonia)

“Yeah I thought so.” (Velt)

Going no plan just like me. Well, I already guessed it’s gonna be like that.

“But, with the situation being like that, how about have some bit of fight Asakura-kun? But still, I’m gonna slip out with a sneak.” (Klonia)

Well, I’m sure things gonna come to that. Right now she gonna take all Mannie’s sin and then run away. Things will come to end  at this place.

The war, Mannie’s problem, and…..

“What are you going to do after running away, Kamino.” (Velt

“Hm? After….. running away?” (Klonia)

“Even after running away from this place you will be a world wide criminal. Even with you escaping from this place right now, in the end someone will chase after you. As long as you’re alive, no matter where it is, always. Do you want to keep on the run on and on?” (Velt)

Yes, once Kamino escapes this place it’d be over.

But the world won’t accept that. No matter where she goes she’d be pursued as [Mannie Mouse], cornered, and then be forced to pay for her deeds.

That much is natural.

“Well no other way around. In exchange I’d be able to save a family member after all-dashi broth.” (Klonia)

So she has prepared herself to be pursued for the rest of her life huh.

And what can I do to such a bitterly smiling Kamino?

“Then, let’s put this to an end--------------!” (Kamino)

Seemingly on purpose, Kamino shouted to the whole world as if trying to provoke me.

She put her hands around her waist trying to equip up.

They’re weapons that poised and extend up to her arms

Their shapes are, somehow I can’t see it as anything else but those huge triangle rulers that gonna be stuck on the blackboard at arithmetic class, and the way she took a stance with them…

“Tonfa? That’s quite the hardcore thing even for a fantasy world….” (Velt)

“Nihehehe, I don’t want to hear that from you who use demihuman’s teacher cane as batons~.“ (Klonia)

So they’re long triangular tonfa huh.

TL note: uh, I know what tonfa is but don’t know how it’d look with long triangular thing.

This girl, for a princess she’s using quite the wild weapon.

Well, she ran away from home and went around the world, and now he went and picked a fight with the whole world.

“Then! Here I go! Haiyaaa---h!” (Klonia)

That airheaded theater, she has grown quite tough. 

“A bit of a fight? You, want to fight against me?” (Velt)

“!” (Klonia)

Kamino swung the tonfa she excitedly spun down on me.

No matter how I see it, it’s a casual attack that’s easy to avoid or shield against.

I tried to repel the swung down tonfa to the side with my baton…..

“Fuwa Fuwa Baton Revolt!” (Velt)

I countered back with turbulent wind clad baton.

“Wait, whoooaa, wait!” (Klonia)

She was dragged by the air currents and getting blown midair for two or three times.

In the end, the rocket on her back spouted flames and made her regained posture, but Kamino herself was panicking as she shouted. 

“Wait, what are you trying to do, Asakura-kun! I said just a bit alright, just a bit! Why the heck you made me swallowed your sure kill move! I mean, could it be, Asakura-kun! You seriously want to kill me-death!” (Klonia)

It must be unexpected for Kamino.

But doing this much is a must.

“Kuhahaha, Kamino…. You seem to have misunderstood something. Be it fighting you, playing drama with you, or killing you. …. I don’t want to do any of those. I just want to safeguard the protected species, that’s all.” (Velt)

“Huh?” (Klonia)

Yes.

I have three vows.

That is, finding Kamino and then [say my thanks], [tell her my feelings from previous life], and what about the third?

That is, if Kamino is in some kind of hardships in this world then [this time I’d be there to help her]. 

“Huh, safeguard, Asakura-kun! I’m not some kind of endangered animal! Eh, in other words… you mean saving me? That’s a no no no no no no, Asakura-kun don’t do such a bothersome thing. Jusst go along with my play for a bit.” (Klonia)

Feeling impatient, Kamino shouted in a small voice so that she won’t be heard by the world, but I just snorted at it.

“Don’t do bothersome thing? Why are you, who thoroughly manipulated others in previous life, excluded yourself now?” (Velt)

“Well, if you say so I’d be losing the words that I can say myself! But….” (Klonia)

“If you’re doing it then I’ll seriously beat you up, and after that I’ll  somehow fix about everything over here. It’s because of this I’m here after all.” (Velt)

That’s why it doesn’t matter if she is rejecting it.

I’ll help her the best I could, and now, I’ll show her that I could bring a close to everything.

“You understand right, Kamino? According to the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties, it’s not the airhead theater, but the protected species needs to be firmly safeguarded…. That is the law in the country I will create, my own world.” (Velt)

“!” (Klonia)

“And, for the wild animal, the unruly horse that’s lacking in discipline, needs to be disciplined firmly.” 

Just now, I’ve already given up on it once by my talk with Mackey.

Yes, because there’s nothing that could be done anymore. Because I thought that there’s no way to save Mackey and Mannie’s lives.

But if I combine my strength with my comrades, even we won’t lose against this half destroyed world, and exactly for that, if I were to conquer this world then anything will be possible.

But, even if we could do something at this place then what gonna come after?

It’s exactly as long as the world still remember Mackey and Mannie, they’ll keep on being targeted.

And because Mackey well understood that, he accepted his own death, and Kamino substituted Mannie’s place to save her.

But, after being reunited with Kamino like this, I finally realized.

“Kamino, I’m not resolved enough. Be it the resolve to part ways with Mackey, the resolve to fight, the resolve to kill, none of them at all. But I have the resolve to rebel against everything as a delinquent! I now remember. The words you said to me back in the past!” (Velt)

“Eh?” (Klonia)

“By the way speaking about rebelling against things, don’t get me wrong but going against nuclear power plant is a different matter!” (Velt)

“Ah……………….” (Klonia)

It seems Kamino also remembered.

----What are you saying wall! Rebel against everything? No, you aren’t! If you just go and accept the label Rai-chan put on you, you neither rebel against it nor overturn it, aren’t you!

This situation is completely different from that time but still, at that time she said to me that [to go against] should be like that.

“I won’t just accept it anymore. Whatever the thing this world says to me.” (Velt)

When those words were said to me before, I wasn’t able to say anything back.

“The plan after this? The world won’t agree to it? Like hell I care! Why the hell a delinquent like me have to get the consent of the world! I’m not some kind of hero or politician! I’m gonna smack down those guys who keep whining and saying complains! So just shut up, let me smack you down and protect you! Kamino! This time I’ll be the one to drag you!” (Velt)

That’s why, right now, I’ll rebel against everything. 

Finally I have that kind of resolve.

“Pff, pupu, ahahahahahahahaha! But is it okay~? You won’t know what the world will say, do you?” (Klonia)

“Yeah. Neither do I’m interested in them.” (Velt)

Even as she half moved to tears Kamino nodded with a smile.

As if telling me that she’d believe in me.

And then she quickly wiped her tears and put strength into her stance and faced me.

“Then try and show how you can pwrotect mwe! Don’t think it’d go so easily okay okay? After all, now me too, am a full fledged delinquent princess!” (Klonia) 

“And what’s with that! I’m the baddest guy of the wheat fields in this world!” (Velt)

This time we’ll be serious, using our full strength, using everything we can, without hiding anything, and face each other while clashing our feelings.

“I won’t let you! Don’t get in Mannie’s way! Mannie is, Mannie is betting everything here! Don’t get in Mannie’s way, onee-chan, Velt-kun too!” (Mannie)

I won’t let anyone get in our way.

Even Mannie who teleported and flew to right in the middle of us……

“ “Back off!” “

“!”

She was ignored and sent  flying.

At where she’s blown off to, is the Godzilla’s head.

Unknown since when, but on the head there are Mackey, Peace, Roa, Neeto and Fiari who have come out and are standing on it.

Also, there’s no one in the world  that pay attention to them anymore.

The ones that do are only us 

“It’s the end isn’t it……….. Mannie-chan……” (Mackey)

“Father!” (Peace)

Mackey caught and embraced Mannie who was blown away.

“Love…… why…… why….. why! Mannie has done so much, but why no one is looking at Mannie? Why! Why……… Mannie hate this…… why………” (Mannie)

Inside his arms, Mannie is trembling, her tears flowing down.

“The world destruction that you bet your entire being to accomplish…… doesn’t seem to matter anymore for those two.” (Mackey)

“!” (Mannie)

“It’s a friggin’ defeat. For you, and also for us.” (Mackey)

Yeah, we no longer care about winning or losing.

Right now it’s only….

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

“URUAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Us who won’t let anyone get in the way of our time. That’s all.
