Chapter 266 The Long, Long Time Until I Could Meet You
Chapter 266 The Long, Long Time Until I Could Meet You
“SOIYAAAAAAA!”
A stirring whirlwind. The tonfa’s strike echoed a roaring sound, it’s might unrivaled!
“RUAAAAAA!”
But it won’t pass through my defense.
If she is swinging down with whole might, then I’ll swing up with whole might.
The fierce metallic sound gave birth to a shockwave into the atmosphere.
Each of the attacks sent intense shivers from the arm all the way to whole body, but still we won’t take a step back.
As both of us carry the weapons that could pulverize each other’s skull with each strike, to sum it up it’s like this, because we brandished around our weapon with one hand, with them being lighter when compared to sword and spear, it made us able to clash within a highly accelerated world.
I’m being wrapped with air current and magic power, while Kamino is using some kind of centrifugal force to smash down.
“Brawl Killing Technique – Tonfa Kick!” (Klonia)
“Fuwa Fuwa Turbulent Kick!” (Velt)
Or so I thought but it was a feint and we dished out a kick onto each other, no matter how one look at it our affinity is way too good, we spontaneously laughed in the midst of our offence and defense.
“Kuhahaha, seems the super irritating airhead theater could do some action on the stage too now!” (Velt)
“Well of course, I raised it up right from zero, to keep on living in this world, I’ve went through all kinds of stormy days after all!” (Klonia)
TL note: can’t really figure out the last part of the sentence so I just tried to connect what seems to be fitting into the sentence. Original is テーヤンデバレンメな日々which even after googling still makes me puzzled.
I’ve never thought the day when I gonna fight seriously with her to actually come.
But, this sure is mysterious.
This girl was so haphazard in the previous life. But right now, I feel that she’s the one I could understand the most.
“Keh! I’m the one who went through stormy days! Thanks to your little sister thoroughly made a mess of someone’s life, I ended up like this despite not wishing it!” (Velt)
We showed our feelings to the best that we can. It’s cliched and I don’t really like it but we can’t help but admit that this form of communication does exist.
That’s why I’ll do it now.
“Let’s go! Fuwa Fuwa World (Velt) Revolution!” (Velt)
Right now, with my feeling enhanced, it makes me feel as if I’ve grasped the world better than I do normally.
The magic power of the world that’s drifting around my body, the light, and this fired up feeling, I’m able to draw them up more than I used to!
“Uwahhoi! Here it comes! The super transformation! So you be a member of combat race after all!” (Klonia)
“It’s important for a delinquent to have his own turf after all! Fuwa Fuwa Random Lasers!” (Velt)
Laser beams were fired from all dead angles.
Now, how she’ll defend?
“Yo, ho, hoiya!” (Klonia)
She twisted her body and casually avoided all of them!
They’re lasers from dead angles, but she did it as though able to predict them all?
“Hahhahhahhahha, you’re good for nothing if you’re already surprised by this~, Asakura-kun.” (Klonia)
“Bastard, how did you do it?” (Velt)
“Asakura-kun, to be honest, I don’t really understand the principlunch of your fight, but this kind of fight is something I’m good at, maybe it’s a beast instinct? Nuh huh, I mean able to feel the flow of atmosphere.” (Klonia)
“Flow of atmosphere?” (Velt)
“That’s right! Despite being a KY who can’t read the atmosphere, I’m able to read the flow of the air, so what do ya think?” (Mlonia)
Yeah, that’s seriously surprising.
I’m sure Kamino herself doesn’t understand it though, you, that ability, being able to feel the flow of the atmosphere and use it to avoid attacks is totally the same as me…
“Also, it’s not only air. Everything under the heavens is my ally! Yes, it’s time to counterattack!” (Klonia)
In the instant a gap appeared when my heart was shaken by the common thing I shared with Kamino, she thought that her turn has come and pervaded her whole body with magic power.
And then, what happened? On the supposedly clear sky with not even a single cloud in sight of the Divine Race Continent, in mere moments it were covered into dim with rain clouds, the sky has suddenly stirred.
“Weather Magic – Thunderstorm!” (Klonia)
I remember this. It was from the fight at Yami Demon Kingdom at Demon Continent. The magic that Belphegor from the [Seven Deadly Sins] used in our fight.
“It’s not only the atmosphere, everything in the world, sky and earth will go as I wish it to!” (Klonia)
In the next moment, it ain’t anything like reading the atmosphere or shits.
The world took a complete change and violent thunderstorm intensively pouring down on my whole body and my surroundings.
“Wha, the hell!” (Velt)
The lightning poured down on my body. It robbed off freedom from my entire body, and the storm is as if about to rip my body into shreds.
She went and done it, this stupid girl!
“Then I’ll punch through a hole in that sky! Fuwa Fuwa Maximum Laser!” (Velt)
But, since this thunderstorm was created by the rain clouds above my head, everything will be fine as long as I erased it.
The maximum laser that I’ve charged up was unleashed right above my head, instantly scattered the clouds, and brought back the blue sky.
But,
“Ain’t bad! But after a large storm, there’s gonna be intense ultraviolet ray, be careful!” (Klonia)
“!” (Velt)
“Weather Magic – Sunlight!” (Klonia)
Are you for real! It’s that technique that uses the intense sunlight to instantly burn to ash the flesh.
This woman, she ain’t go wild, despite being stupid she went and used some fancy intellectual stuff!
“Keh! Though you can read the flow atmosphere, it’s not like you can move that fast yourself right?” (Velt)
“Damn right!” (Klonia)
“Then let’s feel the hell together, delinquent airhead theater princess!” (Velt)
If she gonna burn down my surroundings, then she, Kamino herself should also be inside it along.
Even with her able to avoid my high speed attack powered by magic armament, it’ll be a different story if I’m pursuing her.
She’d be pursued no matter where she escapes to, if I were to do this extra close combat….
“HUWOOOOOOOOTTT!” (Klonia)
“GUOOOOOOOOOOH!” (Velt)
Thi is the s tactic of also having her bathe inside the pouring down sunlight.
“GUGYAOOOOOO, heck, no way no way! Dispel this!” (Klonia)
Unable to withstand the blazing sunlight, Kamino got panicked and cancelled her magic.
It seems she still lacking in endurance huh.
“Fuwa Fuwa Beam Baton!” (Velt)
Following that gap, the finishing attack of enlarged beam baton was swung down targeting Kamino.
“Wha, beam saber, just how much you’re trying to appeal to my heart!” (Klonia)
With this you won’t even have the leisure to dodge. Able to infer that, Kamino chose not to avoid it and intersected her two tonfas as if to receive the incoming attack.
But it’d be impossible with those two thin arms.
“Guh, GRRRRRRR, TSUAH!” (Klonia)
“RUAAAAAAAAA!” (Velt)
And in the end, we exerted our full strength.
The swinging down tonfas were blown back, Kamino is falling far down to the surface.
“Kuh!” (Klonia)
“Kuhahahaha” (Velt)
As she managed to fix her posture mid air, Kamino glares at me who’s above in the sky.
“Kuu~~~h, you’re so merciless to a lady, Asakura-kun!” (Klonia)
“But of course. I’m thorough if its against someone who doesn’t need mercy.” (Velt)
Hoh, how precious.
I wasn’t able to see her slightly angry face back in previous life.
“You’re amazing huh~. Jarenga-kun and Lucifer-kun said that you’re interesting.” (Klonia)
“Though, I don’t think I can win against you in terms of being interesting.” (Velt)
“I don’t think so. In the end I was only being noisy and took you around. The one who everyone acknowledged at the end, was always you.” (Klonia)
That ain’t true. But, if I were to say that then she too gonna say that’s not true and yield likewise.
“Yeah, I was only stirring things up.
My cheeks loosened by this back and forth.
“Yes, I only stir things up. Making utter rackets, goofing around, and many things but they’re just on chance. The one who always give cheers and laugh at the end when someone does something. That’s why, I’m always envious to you who despite always not having any motivation but always having results just by showing your willingness a bit!” (Klonia)
“Oh is that so! From my point of view, you who always able to show yourself to others without feeling stretched thin by it is the envious one!” (Velt)
She once again came from the front. The weather magic is indeed strong but against someone who could use magic armaments like me, she should be at disadvantage in close combat….
“Here I go! Magic Armaments – Solar Energy!” (Klonia)
S, she accelerated!
“Whoa!” (Velt)
She said magic armaments? Her whole body is sparking like it’s clad with electricity! What the hell’s going on!
I reflexively avoided but if I were a step too late I’d eat that attack.
“Nihahaha. This is my magic armaments. It converts sunlight into magic power and hyperly intensify it! It’s gentle to the world’s ecology you know you know.” (Klonia)
“Sunlight you said!” (Velt)
“Well, the one just now ended instantly but with this…. Weather Magic – Sunlight!” (Klonia)
Previously Kamino raised a scream and self-destructed because of the heat from the sunlight.
But if she is to bathe inside the condensed sunlight under this situation…
“UOSSHAAA----! Now it’s full!” (Klonia)
As long as the sunlight is there, she’d be able to convert all of it into magic power and adding up to her power.
As if an electric power plant, Kamino’s whole body is glittering with energy, and instead of faltering, my chest throbbed when seeing her like that.
Because, I’m able to take all the drifting magic power in the atmosphere, while Kamino able to convert the light of heavens into magic power and use it for herself.
We both have the style of making inexhaustible supply of magic power and turn it into power.
“Kuhahaha, ain’t this the best, Kamino!” (Velt)
“Uhohhohhoi! It is the best, Asakura-kun!” (Klonia).
Both of us have unlimited amount of magic power. Also similar style of fighting.
“Great Beam Batons!” (Velt)
“Super Energy Tonfa!” (Klonia)
We splendidly bit onto each others, there’s no end in sight!
We clashes, and clashed again, but still we don’t back down and keep clashing.
The scattering splinters of magic power flew in all directions, disaggregated mid air, and midway they fall onto the ground like meteorites, raising explosion sounds.
Gradually, air current of magic power envelopes us, acting as if a sanctuary and thus making up a world for only us two.
“Good grief, what the heck is up with this world!” (Velt)
“I know right, Asakura-kun!” (Klonia)
Having a girl as my opponent. And not only that, it’s someone I fell for, you know?
I even brought my weapon and hitting her with my whole might. One mistake slipped and it won’t stop at being fatal wound but all the way to instant death.
This kind of thing has made my value as a man to jump over, this situation where I’m doing this to the girl I fell for is just way over the top!
“ORAA! What’s wrong Kamino! Is this your all? Don’t you still have that chuunibyou eye on you!” (Velt)
“That’d be boorish ya know, Asakura-kun! These crest eyes are for the sake of giving birth to friends. They’d be only getting in the way for this scenery!” (Klonia)
“What do you mean with boorish! That word is not something for someone who can’t read the atmosphere at all to say!” (Velt)
“I don’t want to hear that from the always opposing Opp-kura-kun!” (Klonia)
I mean, it is that much interesting!
When I realized it, even the battlefield that was shouting [kill her] so much has now turned silent and only looking up.
And at the instant when a slight lull appeared, the voices as if having held down their breathings were simultaneously heard.
“Puhaaa~, th, those two are fearsome!”
“What an exchange of attack and defense! I’ve never seen this kind of fight!”
“How come those two fellow humans have this kind of power?”
At the same time as their breaths were spat out, many also voiced their thoughts. There’s no one said [kill that scoundrel Klonia Balbadie] anymore.
They’re simply looking at us with the eyes of those who live by fighting.
“Guwahahaha, those two aren’t bad. A fight of those who don’t hold the three great titles have reached the level not inferior to us. Unrelated to the wars that have been going on since the ancient times, merely doing it because they are simply following through their own paths, to think they’d be able to reach these heights, how interesting-nou. Just watching it feels so pleasing.” (Isamu)
“Indweed, rather than saying they’re kwilling each other, they’re actually clashing it out. It is intweresting to watch it.” (Yubamensch)
“There’s no killing intent nor hostility. Be that as it may, it isn’t a practice. They’re serious….. quite incomprehensible-noda” (Erosvitch)
“There is no need to think it so deeply-zou, Erosvitch. Velt-kun is simply….. does not think of great cause or justice as we do, he only shows his true self and fight. That is all there is to it-zou. And that in turn makes his opponents also shows their true self-zou.” (Kaizer)
Coming from one of the three great titles, the Four Heavenly Beasts Demihumans….
“Pheeew, exciting. Velt and Miss Kamino…. They seem to be having fun.” (Kishin)
“Fuh, that Klonia…. She seems to be quite excited today.” (Venbai)
The strongest of the Seven Great Demon Kings…..
“……This is the first time I’m seeing it…. For Velt-kun to be fighting with so much fun….” (Ura)
“Princess Ura…. I concur…. Certainly, it is different.” (Arusha).
“Why is it….. despite I have Velt-sama and Cosmos, having snuggle close to Velt-sama, kissed him, embraced him…. Despite I’m in this much happiness that I have never before experienced…. I still feel….. so envious of her….” (Eljela)
The wives too…
“For some reason, I’m fascinated. I’ve never….. I’ve never witnessed such a fun battle before.”
Even the Hero Roa who represents the world….
“Look closely, Mannie-chan. Those two, without even being aware of it, simply with just bantering to each others, they’re being friggin’ watched closely by the world right at this moment. No selfishness nor ill will, they’re merely being there. Really, I wonder, how are we be able to become something like that?” (Mackey)
“…………..Velt-kun………… Onee-chan………..” (Mannie)
Even the scoundrels who made the world mad also the same.
Even with everyone directed their line of sights on us, there’s no one that able to hinder us.
Aah, somehow this feels nice….
“ORAA! Velt! Why the hell are ya snifflin’ around a gurl! I won’t accept it if ya lost to a gurl! Kamino, go at him like that!” (Jackpot)
“Hey Miss Kamino! Do your best! Ultra best!” (Kishin)
As if to fan us up even further, Jack and Kishin cheered regardless whether they’re friends or enemies.
“Hey, Kishin! Prince Jack! Who are you cheering for-zou! That Klonia Balbadie, despite she seems to be messing around she actually has genuine skills-dazou! We can’t afford to be laughing and merely spectating like that-zou!” (Kaizer)
And naturally, even with Kaa-kun trying to stop such an indiscretion, this feeling, this fight, only us able to understand what kind of thing it is.
Some certain guys are now raising their voices one after another.
“Velt-kun! You’re overdoing it a bit too much! Kamino-san, please give Velt-kun some punishment!”
From Barnando….
“Great grandpa! Why are you supporting the enemy-degozaru!” (Musashi)
“Staff head? Staff head you’re…. smiling.”
“Hohou. You seem to be happy~, oh Bar.” (Isamu)
Furthermore…..
“Geez, stop it already, you two! Why are you flirting round, round, and round! Mina, I won’t let you off if you keep monopolizing my honey any longer! Have it done with already!”
“Ahahahahahaha! Heeey! Kaminoo! He’s the worst kind of guy who took my first time! Go and kick that bimbovelt’s ass already!”
From Arusha and Althea too….
“Princess Arusha, also Princess Althea, what’s wrong with you guys!” (Ura)
“Are you two not worry about Velt-sama?” (Eljela)
Furthermore….
“Well~, so that’s Mina-chan huh~, kuuuuuh~~, she has become so cool! Finish him now! Come on, Neeto-kun you also cheer cheer!”
“Yeah~…………. Beat up that riajuu~”
From Neeto and Fiari too…..
Not only that….
“Haha, friggin’….. so friggin’ you two! Kobayakawa-sensei….. Same-cchi…. All our classmates! Are you watching? It’s just like at that time. Asakura-kun turned frantic by the haphazard Mina-chan and then they started to quarrel with shouting loudly to each other, it was so weird that we ended up laughing so loud…. It’s the same scene as that time!” (Mackey)
Even with his voice trembling as he said that Mackey still happily smiles.
“Love………why…........ do you seem so happy?” (Mannie)
“Of course I’d be happy, Mannie-chan.” (Mackey)
Most of the existences on this world must be unable to understand this.
But, [we] understand.
“At that time, our school life, our own lives, everything was over and we died in that absurd accident. But…… it’s here! Our adolescent time that I thought had also died at that time, it went over beyond the world and circle of samsara…. even now it’s still friggin’ alive! Our class is still alive!” (Mackey)
Yes. We have died.
But we’re still alive!
“Ugh!” (Velt)
The tonfa stabbed into my ribcage. Ain’t good huh, some bones might have broken.
Really, it’s bad. But, despite that, my body still can move!
My baton broke the tonfa and landed a direct hit on Kamino’s arm.
Originally it supposed to be an attack that’d make a terrible pain. But despite that, that Kamino, she’s laughing!
You too seem to be someone like me huh.
“Kuhahahahhahaha!”
“Wahahahahahaha!”
Yeah, though our bones broke, our heart didn’t even chip!
This feeling welling up in the depths of our stomach, it still ain’t satisfied!
“Ain’t that right, Kamino!”
“Awfully right, Asakura-kun!”
Kamino’s tonfa sunk into my forehead at the same time my kick sunk into her abdomen.
“That brat is called Velt Jeeha, isn’t he …… to think that we would be reduced to be mere spectators at the end of the game, the future is sure something incomprehensible…..”
At that moment, I felt a Demon King’s whisper entered my ears….
“However, perhaps exactly because of that hope still exists. Perhaps, Klonia and her merry friends, my own Yavai Demon Kingdom, the three unfound worlds, the Holy Knights and [Holy King Michelle]. Even as we all knew the truth that world will arrive to is naught but destruction, we still choose to struggle. But…. Here at this place, a new hope has born.” (Venbai)
Naturally, since this isn’t the time to be paying attention to that kind of thing, we just let it out from the other ears.
But still, that Demon King certainly has said.
“The size of one’s heart throb expresses the size of one’s hope! Overcome… Velt Jeeha! Klonia Balbadie! These two shall change the world, lead the world, and surpass the [Harmageddon]!” (Venbai)
He is one amongst the strongest in the world, the Dreadnought Demon King that has his name resounded throughout the world and history.
Without even the time to think nor to register his words, our movements along with our thoughts went duller and duller towards unrelated things.
“Haa, haa, haa, haa……” (Velt)
“Uhii~, haa, haa…..” (Klonia)
Contrary to the feeling that keeps on continuing, in the end I still need to put an end to it.
It’s because I exactly understood that my own body is gradually approaching it’s limit, I feel a kind of lonely feeling somewhere.
“Hehe…. At first….. I was thinking of letting the grumbling student who didn’t know the fun of school, to know the fun of school…. That’s what I thought before but it seems it’s me who is having fun, Asakura-kun.” (Klonia)
“Kamino….” (Velt)
“Being reborn in this world, having my memories back, and despite all that still wanting to live and running away from home freely, I came to see many things and had lots of laugh. But, for me to be having this much fun, it’s been quite a while.” (Klonia)
Kamino also understood.
That the time to settle this is near.
“I always laughed but still, it was painful. Having known things that better left unknown, and because I have the even the crest eyes…. I was unable to remain ignorant. I have to shoulder it, I have to fight for it, I lived as I thought like that.” (Klonia)
And, this is also the first time seeing this side of Kamino.
“But in the end, I wasn’t able to do that much. Things turned so much jumbled up, twisted, and long-winded, I came to afraid to meet you, and unable to save Mannie until things got so late like this…. What have I been doing, really….” (Klonia)
As she sadly smiles, clearly she’s speaking her heart about painful things, letting out her disgruntlement.
Disgruntlement, that’s the word the most far away from Kamino Mina.
I don’t want to see her like this, I can’t accept this. It ain’t got nothing to do with her being a woman or a human.
I won’t allow that kind of thing to be on Kamino Mina.
But because of that, I said.
“Then, this time, rely on me, Kamino. Also, Klonia.” (Velt)
“……. Asakura-kun……” (Klonia)
“It’s true that I don’t really know what you’re thinking, I also wasn’t able to completely save Mannie. And to top it off, Klonia Balbadie has become the enemy of the world. But…… if it’s Kamino Mina, she still has allies in this world. Then, you just should tell your feelings to them.” (Velt)
Yes, they exist here, in this world.
“Those here right now are, Ayase, Biyama, Miyamoto, Kagami, Milco, Juromaru, Narukami, also, that Hattori guy that seems like your comrade.” (Velt).
…………………………………huh?
“Heeeeeeeey, me! Me! Me! You’re forgetting about me!”
“…………..Also, there’s Dokai Shion-kun!” (Velt)
Crap, I really forgot….. huh, not about that…..
“And, there’s also one right in front of you.” (Velt)
“!” (Klonia)
“And see, Klonia. I’m no longer Asakura Ryuuma. But Velt Jeeha. Also, by various twist and turn, most of us have already vowed to put a clear line with the past life and live in this world. It’s….. just not to cling onto the past life, it’s not like we even cut off our feelings of past life.” (Velt)
The thing I wanted to say to her. That I want to be her strength. That’s why, you should rely on me. I’ve always wanted to say that.
“Why?” (Klonia)
“Huh?” (Velt)
“Why are you going so far for me? Didn’t you think of me as absurdly annoyingarbage food.” (Klonia)
“And you’re right! You’re right with me thinking you as annoying! You’re so annoying, irritating, grinding on my nerves…. As well as so relaxed, and before I noticed, you have already sneaked into my heart….” (Velt)
And, these words are also those that I’ve wanted to say but stayed hidden in my heart.
“But……. To Asakura Ryuuma….. I’ve come to like such Kamino Mina…..” (Velt)
“…………………..…………….…………….…………….what?” (Klonia)
Different from how it was before. This time, so that she won’t misunderstand, I looked at her face and said it.
“A…………….. Asakura-kun…………………. Is your head okay?” (Klonia)
“My face is this serious, so there ain’t no way aight!” (Velt)
“Oh~ you~! Thou art~! UOOOI! Lookie here~, that’s just impossible ‘ight~! In front of your many wives and your cute daughter, what you done~ was absurd~!” (Klonia)
Well, I understand that it isn’t something that should be said.
But, looking at her face turning completely red and panicking, it didn’t seem to have left that bad of impression on her.
But at the same time, there’s something that I need to add to.
Crap, they’re looking at me with faces filled with despair, so it’s also for my wives’ sake.
“But, I am Velt Jeeha. To the Velt Jeeha right now, there are those who are loving him, and I intend to answer to their feelings as a man.”
“……………..Fufu…….. I see……” (Klonia)
“Yeah. That’s why the me right now isn’t someone who wants to be tied with Kamino Mina. It is so that Asakura Ryuuma of the previous life could rest in peace, I wanted to help the girl Asakura Ryuuma liked. That’s all.” (Velt)
Even if it doesn’t develop into love relationship, I want to help the girl I fell for before.
That is the reason of me wanting to be her strength.
“Thank you. Asakura-kun’s feeling, Velt Jeeha’s feeling, the feelings of the two really resounded inside my heart.” (Klonia)
And then, Klonia who was venting out her disgruntlement, turned to how she used to look and smiled.
“So it’s actually like that! Why I never realized it? Despite there are those strong and reliable classmates in this world, how come I didn’t try to rely on them? Not being able to realize it until now, as expected I’m a big fat dummy!” (Klonia)
She won’t hesitate anymore, her eyes and her smile told us.
The answer has came out, she has said it
“It’s such a long long time till I could meet you, I finally understood this saying.” (Klonia)
“Yeah, it’s really been long.” (Velt)
It’s been so long. But this isn’t the end.
“That’s why, after this fight is over….. please save me okay! Velt-kun!” (Klonia)
“Yeah, I’m here exactly for that!” (Velt)
This conclusion is also for new things that will start after this.
And as if ringing the signal for the beginning of it, we once again clashed for the last time.
And, inside the final flash of light generated at the Divine Race Continent, I saw the repelled away tonfa was smashed into pieces above the sky of the Divine Race Continent.
