Lightning Empress Maid

The word ‘vow’, when I talked about it’s weight, unexpectedly, it seems that Silver and Salia were taken by surprise and became speechless. No need to worry, Friend, this is an everyday occurrence, Nanaki being deviated is already an established fact. Different from others, in other words, that is being special. Basically, specialnanaki, perfect human.

xcept cooking

Perfect nanakismile. Everyone around the world, it’s Nanaki.

hi~

It’s fine, for me to not be understood. If they don’t stand in Nanaki’s way, then we should let each other do as we like. As long as we are alive, we should just live as we like, that’s what Nanaki thinks. If the time when we clash comes, then it’s simple, the pride of the stronger one will shine. That’s it.

live freely~

This is the imperial capital, the final destination of talent.

gathering of monsters

If you don’t like it then use that talent and eliminate Nanaki. This is the centermost pentagon, those that are here should have competed with their talents, a.s.serted their superiority and knocked down others. Then knock down Nanaki, if you can do that then Nanaki promises Nanaki will also change Nanaki’s way of thinking.

doubtful

Mother is right, I deeply believe so. If Nanaki was weak Nanaki would not be able to enforce myself. Those that are stronger brush aside other’s wills and protect their pride. Something like fearing being special or fearing being denied, if you live like that then of course you cannot advance. Of course you cannot adapt.

can’t evolve?

This Nanaki is even denied by the world, and still accepted that.

just deal with it

This way of living, these teachings, these choices, if I cannot be proud of these then what can I be proud of? Nanaki banzai.

banzai~

“Now then, our opinions have clashed, so what will you do? Silver, Salia.”

conflicting views

As I said before, my master has yet to decide anything. That means the relationship between Nanaki and the Five Emperors is still that of enemies. If master decides so, then at that time I will join hands with a smile. But, right now I can’t do that yet. If our opinions clash in such a situation, then Nanaki would like a simpler way of settling it.

talk with

“Will you fight Nanaki?”

fists

How about it?

skip the troublesome stuff

“Guu…….”

no?

Enforce your pride as a Five emperor or explain to this Nanaki the truth of your world? Choose as you like. But I warn you, neither of those paths can be walked only partway. Look at the Nanaki before your eyes, Silver. Isn’t this fortunate? The heavens is right before your eyes. If you want to exceed it, challenge me.

just try

The proof of righteousness, the chains of conventional wisdom. Can you, who is bound by those, defeat this Nanaki? I would like you to show me.

it would be nice to see

“…….Silver.”

“I know…….!”

shame

My thanks.

back to master then

Nanakismile of gratefulness to Silver who withdrew after a moment’s hesitation. This might be the first time I’m showing it to Silver, Nanaki’s smile is beautiful right? Like Mother’s.

ofc

“Hmph, a detestable smile.”

kill him

Want to be sent flying, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d?

A nostalgic scene.

nanaki’s house?

Ten minutes walking distance from the capital, one second at a dash, there is a large building. The only ones who have residences in this centermost of the concentric pentagons are those who have competed and won in this final destination of talent. The flaxen roof house I received from the emperor is large enough to be called a manor. This is Nanaki’s house.

just live with envy~

As I stood before my house, the scenes of the days I had spent here came to mind. It has been about half a year since I left the imperial capital. It’s hard to call it long, but also hard to call it short. But I still feel nostalgic, so this really is Nanaki’s home. Then there is only one thing to say, just as I learnt from Envy.

tadaima~

“I’m home!”

irashai~

And then evade, lightning step.

???

“Trespa.s.ser confirmed, all personnel, deal with it immediately.”

 ….security system?

A cold order and those that carried it out, why are there imperial servants at Nanaki’s house? I considered it while slapping down the swords and magic that flew at me. Aha, could it be Envy’s consideration? As expected of Envy to treat Nanaki’s master importantly, I understand.

but then

“Th, these movements…….!!”

“As expected of someone who penetrated through to the deepest part of the capital……call for reinforcements.”

“Yes!!”

this is Nanaki’s house right?

Imperial servants, those that serve in the imperial court where the emperor lives. Their conduct is efficient and beautiful enough for even Nanaki to copy them. Mastered techniques are something that fascinate people just by existing. Additionally they also possess at least enough strength to protect their master.

maids are scariest

The diverse attacks they unleash is a must-see, these are the specialists at serving that have also incorporated the strength of the average imperial knight. But unfortunately it is just reckless to take Nanaki on with that talent they are not specialised in. They should have at least asked for Nanaki’s name before attacking.

…they can’t recognise?

“Gah!?”

“Au!?”

rip

When I hit the vitals of the two that came slashing at me simultaneously, they let out small screams and collapsed. It won’t do to kill the imperial servants that were likely dispatched by Envy. I also don’t want my house to be stained with blood.

good point

“……with this much strength, who are you?”

“The attendant of Zean Alfred-sama who is staying here.”

“Attendant.”

“Yes.”

“You are lying.”

…..

Want to be hit?

why lying

“There is no servant that appears before the master wearing torn clothes.”

….ah

Hearing her words, most likely the head servant, I looked at my right arm. The arm that was cut off once in the battle with Leon is there. Nanaki’s arm is fine after being rejoined as lightning, but my clothes are not. Hmm, certainly there might not be servants that appear before the master in this kind of attire. She has a point.

the rest of nanaki’s clothes didnt disintegrate?

“Flame Empress Envy-sama has said that Zean Alfred-sama and his party are important guests. I cannot let a suspicious person like you near them. And the master of this residence bears terrifying strength, if you do not want to die, leave.”

…..yeha nanaki is terrifying

Skilled.

her?

Seeing Nanaki’s strength, she has probably judged she cannot win, thus she brought up Envy’s name and hinted at the existence of  the master of this residence, basically Nanaki, to urge me to retreat. Along with that fair amount of strength she originally had, a normal person would not be able to see through her bluff.

…..unlsss you are the person used in the bluff

“……then please call master. This can be cleared as soon as he confirms it.”

yesyes

After thinking about it a little, Nanaki chose to bend this time. The head servant has a point and more importantly, nothing will come of fighting here. Envy also did this out of consideration, I would like to avoid ending this with trouble. I must be grateful for my older sister’s goodwill.

nanaki is an adult~

“I cannot. I have sufficient understanding of your speed.”

“I do not really mind using force, but could I ask for your understanding?”

….and back to threats

But even if I say that, it would be troubling if I come off too haughty. While maintaining a moderate amount of tension, I searched for a peaceful a way to settle this. How is this Friend? Nanaki has grown right? It’s fine to praise this generous heart of mine.

erai erai

Friend snorted and at the same time disappeared to somewhere else. Such sarcastic laughter, don’t you forget this.

(T/N: 失笑=sacarstic laughter, 失=gone, so next time just walk away laughing~)

“……Understood, I will believe what you have said.”

“I am grateful.”

clear~

There was no other option for her in the first place, but to protect her pride, I obediently lowered my head.  She does not have the means to stop this Nanaki. If she doesn’t have the strength to chase me away, then no matter what she says, it is pointless. Then it is optimal to aim for a peaceful resolution. Having to deal with so much trouble first thing in the morning, thank you for your hard work.

nono, you are the trouble

“Attendant……meaning you are a servant.”

“Indeed.”

“Then please prepare breakfast.”

WHAT

I did it.

end

WHO LET NANAKI INTO THE KITCHEN

Also ‘royal servants’ changed to ‘imperial servants’

Only realised this chapter considering it’s in the imperial capital and they serve the emperor

meh, not much difference.
