234 Episode 234 "On The Way Back From The'Battlefield', I Met A Raging Hero.".Txt
...... Wait, Nagi. There's a group of people running down the street over there. If we keep going, we might run into them.
We left the arena and were on our way back to the inn.
On the way there, Rita unexpectedly pulled my arm.
It seems there's a group of people wandering around the town in the middle of the night. No, I can't speak for others.
I get it. I'm going to need your "presence of mind".
Yes, sir. Master.
Rita closes her eyes and snaps her beast ears up.
Aine and Cutlass are holding their mouths. I also hold my breath so as not to interrupt Rita.
After a while...
There's about 15 of us. We're just around the corner. The person in front of us is shouting at the top of the pile - I think I know that voice. It's, uh, .......
Rita looked at me with a startled look on her face.
'It's the voice of someone called Yamazoe from The Visitor,'
"...... Yamazoe.
Come to think of it, it wouldn't be surprising if he was in the vicinity.
He is employed by Count Kervis and is also involved in the Martial Arts Tournament.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
It's a hassle to find out: .......
''Let's stay away. It's better not to get involved.
Okay. - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Me, Rita, Aine and Cutlass start running in the opposite direction from Yamazoe and the others.
All the while, Rita is continuing her "presence detection".
Yamazoe and the others are slowly moving away from us. They didn't seem to find them.
"...... Nagi. The person from earlier said, 'I'll show you my ability again today'...
...... Huh?
''I'm going to make you understand today that I'm better than you guys. I'm going to show you a sword wave that no one can erase ...... control at will' -?
What the hell is he thinking?
'I heard a sword swing! The air is ripped open and the ...... shockwave is approaching! Nagi!
You'd better start thinking about how much trouble you're in, Yamazoe!
Across the alleyway where we are, I saw something like a light.
It's moving like a remote-controlled drone.
The light turns toward us and rushes forward.
White. White, please!
I touched the 'Armband of the Heavenly Dragon (Shiro)'.
''It's a little too late! Shirudo!
Shiro, in his egg state, generates a translucent 'Round Shield'.
The light created by Yamazoe collides with the shield.
For a while, the light shines as if trying to break through the shield, but...
Then, poof, it disappeared.
"...... Um. "When you're about my age, you move your technique to avoid touching the building and... what? It's gone! Because,
Yeah. I'm right here. I'm within shouting distance.
You spotted me. Yamazoe.
I hear footsteps approaching and shouting.
"It's impossible that a brave man's skills are prevented from being used.
...... I didn't mean to get involved with that guy.
Because it's so annoying.
When I met him the other day, he was making a lot of noise about winning and losing.
He would challenge me to a game with rules that only he could understand. He would decide who wins and who loses, get angry, and leave satisfied.
He's a real pain in the ass.
I'll tell Iris and Letitia what's going on with True Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage True). We'll break through them and go straight back to Ilgafa.
Yeah. I guess there's not much to do here anymore.
'I found out the secret of the 'martial arts tournament'. I even took precautions.
"We will not look back, but rather, we will boldly go through this place.
"Mmm! Leave it to me. I'll put that brave man down with a single blow.
I will cooperate with you.
"White's up for it!
It was unanimous.
Leggy and Lord Death are a bit belligerent though.
Either way, we've done our business.
The Lord of Irgapha prepared a luxury tour for us. We've already had enough of that.
I've also rewritten the key item for the Martial Arts Tournament, the Demon King's Orb.
We've seen what we need to see and done what we need to do.
All that's left to do now is to go home.
I was able to talk to the saint, and I also want to see Cecil and Rafilia.
I got Lord Death out of Aine and wore it.
At the same time, Cutlass activates the 'Dragon Knight Armor'.
Rita's 'presence detection' continues.
A few people, including Yamazoe, are approaching from the front. I'm not going to be able to tell the difference.
'Nah-kun. Which way are you heading, the brave man in front or the people in the back?
Ahead. Let's head towards Yamazoe.
His skills are unpredictable.
It's better to throw a punch and get out of here than to get shot at from behind.
Rita. Give me a count.
Copy that. Ten seconds more ...... 9...... 8...... 8......
In the darkness, someone appears from the corner of the road.
As soon as we saw it, we started running.
"-What the hell!
Did they defeat Master Yamazoe's attack?
Yamazoe is screaming.
Okay, let's run away while we can.
Let's just warn the participants of the Martial Arts Tournament for the last time.
"My Lord! "My Lord, shall we not warn them?
Okay. That's rare, Reggie.
"It's nice to have a change of pace. Besides, Yamazoe can hear the voices of the Lord, the beastman, the maid, and my knight girl. If you shout, he might remember everyone's face. You've never shown me your face, have you?
You have a point.
There was a time when I was so caught up in my mission that I lost sight of something important. I would like to see if I can convince the participants of the tournament.
All right. All right. Leggy.
It's a rare occasion that Reggie is motivated.
I'll leave it to him.
Well, then.
A figure-sized Leggy appears on my shoulder.
She bends her chest, looks up her face--
"To all those shackled by the illusion of valor!
I raised my voice to the top of my lungs.
You are deluded! The Martial Arts Tournament is not for determining the brave. It's for determining the victims, or demon king's army, to be destroyed by the brave!
It's great. Normal.
Leggy is telling everyone what's going on in The Martial Arts Tournament.
You've grown up ...... Leggy.
When I met you, you were just a vile magic sword .......
'Look at that brave man who was giving orders to you guys! The one who frightens and manipulates others. Is that the brave one? Do you guys want to be like that?
...... awesome. Leggy girl.
...... It says what Aine and her friends are trying to say.
...... The Magic Sword Legionnaire was actually quite serious, wasn't it?
Everyone is also surprised by Reggie's words.
Yamazoe, too, has stopped moving, probably because she suddenly heard the girl's voice.
Not to mention the stunned people, and the participants who have lost the will to fight.
Reggie continues.
'That's not what a true brave man is like! You can't be a brave man who only uses others! A man of valor is...
What is Reggie's idea of a true hero?
It's about leading others and letting their talents shine through!
「「「「 Whoa, whoa, whoa! 」」」」
Leggy said all the right things about him.
You can't bring out the cuteness and the eroticism in a girl simply by coaxing people into submission!
What?
"Wake up, men! Don't be fooled by those self-proclaimed brave men! People are not bound together by power, but by trust and love! Like my master, who touches the girls at the party and lets them find a new identity and a new sense of comfort. You have no idea. You will not know that their skin has become more lustrous since they have been united to you, my Lord. It is important to be loved so much that they found their new selves by doing so, and they - what are you doing Lord! I'm not done talking to you! How is it that I, the true hero, bring out the girl's loveliness and sweetness, drown myself in her pleasures - stop spinning me around in my scabbard!
Straight up.
I thought I'd grown up a bit, but Leggy is still Leggy.
The participants of the martial arts tournament seem to have lost their will to fight, thanks to this.
I'm not sure if it's because they're not satisfied with the results, or if they've been drained of their venom.
...... Anyway, I'd say the Bujutsu Tournament is a dubious one.
Leggy finished his story begrudgingly.
'Take your friends home with you. You've seen the true nature of Yamazoe, the brave man. You have seen the true nature of this brave man, Yamazoe, who only gives orders to others to fight. He only makes you fight and give orders to others.
The last one was decent.
Let's see if he's grown up or if he's still an eerie magic sword.
...... We're done here.
I put a cloth over my mouth and changed my voice slightly before I said.
'If you're going to have a 'martial arts tournament', do what you want. Bye.
...... so you think you're on top of me.
Suddenly, Yamazoe opened his mouth.
''I don't know who you are, but I'm telling you that you think you're on top of me by preventing my technique and spewing unnecessary things at my subordinates!
Saying that, Yamazoe raised his sword.....
'Those who have seen my fecklessness will be gone! "Controlled Light Sword, Controllable Photon Sword.
Yamazoe fired a blade of light.
It's not us. It's the fallen participants of the 'Martial Arts Tournament'.
"White!
"Stay up! Shirudo!
Boshuuuuuuuuu!
The blade of light hit White's "shirudo" and disappeared.
That's a dangerous ...... What are you thinking about? I'm not going to be able to get away from you.
"Don't run away, fight me. What do you want to happen to these people?
...... I thought those were your guys in there?
I said.
In the darkness, Yamazoe let out a foolish breath.
These are the adventurers of this world. The stray visitors have already been handed over to Count Kervis, who will be performing a great ceremony by now. I'm sure a great ceremony is taking place right now.
Yeah, where?
You have no idea what you're talking about. The arena.
Yeah,
"There is only one truth. No matter what you say, the Demon King's Army exists. When you see it's real, your words will be erased.
All right. I'll take a look at it.
"I know the truth about the world. I know the truth about the world.
Okay. Bye.
Don't run away! Fight me!
Yamazoe again raised his sword to the top of the stairs...
You fight me and win, and I'll get you out of here. I won't hurt any of my men. I'll make you a deal.
He proclaimed that with a rough breath.
