Chapter 194


(194) The Demon Lord’s true ident.i.ty


Translator: Tseirp


“I’ll take you on seriously . ”


I said to the Demon Lord even though I was looking for a way to retreat . In other words, I confirmed with my side view my escape route, to use the ship of the fainted pirates who hired Haru .


Judging by the way the Demon Lord fought until now, her fighting style was more towards magic specialization and her speed was not that quick .


Meaning she might not be able to catch up … if I focus everything on escaping . It will be my victory if I escape to the ship, meet up with Malina and we escape into My World .


The fighting style of Jobless, in other words, there is no shame nor lack of honor in escaping . Escaping is victory .


But the Demon Lord stood in the way of that escape path .


I’ll first have to make her move .


“You’re lying abouch fightching, you plan to eschape . ”


“I’ve been found out!”


“Pathethic!”


“Don’t call me pathetic! I have almost no magical power left and am in a weakened state after all! Hey, can’t you let me go? I have no intention of fighting against you . ”


“The answer is no ―”


So there’s no way other than to fight?


“Then lets at least take off this armor . I’m afraid of getting put on the wanted list but that can’t be helped . ”


“Rejected!”


The Demon Lord rejected my suggestion and attacked with flying darkness blades .


I continued to just barely dodge the attacks but just getting scratched by them would form a hole in the gold armor and leave some scratches on my body .


What offensive power .


I have no choice but to run away after all . I should be able to slip away from the Demon Lord when she’s on her own ― or so I thought when I was struck with even more despair .


The Demon Lord extended her hand .


Upon doing so, a rift suddenly appeared beside her .


That is ― is that magic similar to my own My World?”


‘No way’, I thought to myself but a huge hand emerged from that rift ― correction, it was a huge front paw .


Just a single one of that front foot covered in white fur was larger than me .


And the thing that ultimately emerged was an enormous white wolf .


She summoned a seriously insane monster .


Maybe it is the Demon Lord’s kin?


Isn’t it ten times larger than an ordinary wolf?


And then, there was a single shadow on its back . When I saw the single young girl riding on that monstrous wolf,


I inadvertently sucked in a breath .


The person riding on Fenrir’s back was Sheena who I previously met on the uninhabited island .


But if I remember correctly, Sheena was with the Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei .


“Don’t tell me, you are the Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei?”


” … I am the reincarnation of that Demon Lord . ”


She hesitated for a moment but the Demon Lord affirmed it .


“Then do you recall a white wolf race girl named Haurvatat?”


“Yeah, I do . ”


“Then all the more we don’t have to fight! Haurvatat is my companion . ”


” … Don’t jest . That child is an earnest child . She will not become the companion of a pirate . ”


She claimed . It’s true that Haru is stubbornly earnest . I would probably not believe it either if I was told that Haru was the companion of a pirate .


However ― it was true that the battle was meaningless .


Sheena No . 3 leaped off from the enormous wolf .


“Sheena, you fight too . It’s an order . ”


The Demon Lord’s voice suddenly changed . It didn’t change the fact that it still sounded like the voice of a young girl but it had become the voice of a girl about primary school age .


It sounded familiar for some reason though .


“Yes, Grandmaster . ”


“Wait, Sheena! I don’t want to fight with you guys! Please persuade the Demon Lord for me . ”


“I am sorry, Master Ichinojo . I also do not wish for it but this is an order from the Grandmaster . Ahh, I don’t want to do this . ”


She said as her hands transformed like how Pionia does it . Into the shape of swords .


s.h.i.t, can I really not avoid this fight?


That’s right, maybe I can open the door to My World and call Haru out ― as long as she waits for me to take off this armor ―


“Wait!”


That’s right, as long as she waits — eh?


I wasn’t the one who stopped Sheena, it was the Demon Lord .


For some reason, the Demon Lord was squatting down and holding her head .


“Sheena, what did you just say?”


“Ahh, I don’t want to do this . ”


“Before that . ”


“This is an order from the Grandmaster .


“Even before that . ”


“I am sorry . ”


“After that!”


“Master Ichinojo . ”


“That!”


Said the Demon Lord .


“Ichinojo?”


The Demon Lord asked me .


“Yes?”


“Kusunoki Ichinojo?”


“Ah, no, in this world I am just known as Ichinojo … eh?”


Why does the Demon Lord know my name?


Did she hear about it from Sheena? Eh? Did I even mention my name to Sheena in the first place?


” … Take off your armor . ”


” … Ah, okay . ”


I’m grateful to be able to take it off but what is she planning to do?


I took off my armor and I noticed just as I was taking off my helmet .


The Demon Lord was no longer in my sights .


Correction, the Demon Lord was leaping towards me .


— s.h.i.t!


I’m going to be hit if she’s this close already .


I thought to myself when the power of Darkness exploded from the Demon Lord’s body and blew off her copper armor .


Self-destruct!?


No, the strength was too weak so it’s probably a blinding attack .


“Onii!”


The person who appeared from within the Darkness was —


“It’s Onii, the real Onii! Onii Onii Onii, what are you doing dying off on your own you idiot! I was really really really really really worried!”


“Miri! Are you really Miri!?”


“Yes, did Onii forget your own younger sister’s face!? Even though I have never forgotten about Onii even once . What’s with you? Are you an idiot? Do you want to die?”


— Ah, this brooding darkness, it certainly is Miri .


In the past when I came back from my Middle School excursion trip, it wasn’t this bad but she did react similarly . Even though it was just a three days two nights trip .


“Wait, ehhhhhh! Why are you here!? Eh? Did you die too?”


“I didn’t die! I only jumped into the flames at the crater in Mount Fuji . ”


“That most likely meant your death! Why did you do something so stupid?”


“Ah — Onii doesn’t know about it . Onii is not dead . More importantly, Onii, are you hurt!? Ah, you’re hurt here, what happened?”


“You’re the one who did it just now . ”


“Ah, there’s no helping that then . ”


“At least apologize!”


“I had no choice! I heard that Onii would be heading to Port Kobe from the southern island so I thought you would be in danger if you encountered pirates so I wanted to crush all the pirates! It was done for Onii’s sake so I’m not guilty . ”


“You’re guilty! Leaving that aside, what’s with this turn of events? I thought I was going to die just now but now I’m feeling quite fortunate —”


“Me too, Onii ― I really missed you . ”


A smiled leaked from my face as I looked at Miri hugging my chest with her eyes closed .


Even though I wanted her to live happily in j.a.pan, I really wanted her to but I was really happy to be able to reunite with Miri this way .


Of course, I’ll have to ask her a lot of questions .


“Grandmaster, until when should I continue waiting?”


Sheena and that huge wolf stared at the two of us .
