Volume 2, Chapter 14: There's no tomorrow for a l*licon, Part 8

“That’s why I basically use half my body against weapons. Also, keep your arms tight and your body small. It’s like you’re reducing the amount of your body area that the opponent can see.”

On the way back to the training ground, Sakura gave me a quick verbal lecture on how to move my body.

“The advantage of a weapon is not in its power but in its reach, so don’t be afraid to jump into the pocket. I’ll show you how to do it later.”

Naturally, this was very practical and authentic, and I could tell that she had really worked hard on his training.

“Haa, there’s so much I don’t know…”

When I gave my impression from the bottom of my heart, Sakura turned her face to look in another direction with a huff.

“Hmph. It’s because you’re the crazy one. Even though your nasty ability goes hand in hand with physical training, you haven’t trained at all.”

“Well I don’t have any words to refute this…”

I’ve never thought I’d have to use this ability all the time, so naturally, I haven’t built my body at all.

“…but”

While pushing the door leading to the training ground, she murmured,

“If you really want to, not only this time, I will always take care of y-“

It was at this time.

“Furuya-kun. Get away from this girl”

“…what?”

I heard the voice of someone who was not supposed to be there.

Kaede, who was supposed to be chasing after the lolicon maker, was waiting there at the training ground with her two teammates and a few other Master exorcists. (T/N : heard professional Exorcist is kind of strange, so changing to master exorcist)

Nagumo was standing behind her with a puzzled look on his face. Kaede then looked at the stunned me and Sakura, or rather at Sakura, and said

“That girl is the lolicon maker” She said while preparing the talisman.

…

The monster is unaware that it’s a monster.

It doesn’t let others know it is crazy.

The core of the monster lies deep within the soul and can only be identified through deep spirit vision checkup.

I understand that.

I know this, because I was reminded of it to my heart’s content during the woman running away from b***s incident. But I still can’t believe it, is Sakura a monster?

“It’s always darkest in the light. There’s no doubt about it. The thread of spiritual power extending from the lolicon maker captured by the Soya’s daughter is connecting to you”

“Lies…”

Sakura muttered in astonishment, but…the air around the Master Exorcists was serious and not a lie.

“But, I had solid countermeasures set up against the monster! I even trained my mental control…and self checked”

“Even so, there is no doubt that you are the host of the lolicon maker.”

Gradually but steadily, Kaede approaches us with a talisman on her hand.

“Please stay calm. By any chance, if you were changed to a monster, the least you can do as a full-fledged Exorcist is to try to limit the spread of the damage with as little resistance as possible.”

“…”

At the words of Kaede, who were strict but explicitly admitting Sakura as a full-fledged person, Sakura nodded in silence.

“It’s alright…but, my bad as I will not be able to exorcism you right away”

Saying that, Kaede throws a talisman at the feet of Sakura. The technique is to restrain the movements of Sakura.

“It will be a loss if Furuya-kun isn’t a lolicon to lure out the lolicon slayer. First or all we will give you a through check up by spirit vision, check the progression of monsterization and sea-“

Just as Kaede was explaining the final steps while trying to activate restriction technique,

*Crackle*

[?]

Without any prior warning, the amulet that Kaede had thrown to activate the technique was vigorously repelled.

For a instant it looks as if Sakura had nullified the technique but,

“…!?AHHHHHH!?”

“Sakura!”

A scream echoes out from the mouth of Sakura.

“What…is…this..!?”

Sakura held her head and her expression was distorted as if she was struggling.

The light faded from her eyes, and a miasma completely different from the one I had experienced in the past with a Rank 6 spirit began to overflow.

[Too bad, I have been already exposed]

What came out of the mouth of Sakura, whose expression had disappeared, was a mysterious voice that was completely different from her own.

A sweet and kind of playful voice.

The voice was sweet to the sickening level, it was the voice of a girl. Who the h**l is this!?

[Well whatever. I will release my full power??]

The mysterious voice borrows the Sakura mouth and informs in a lively manner.

“Aaaaaaaah!?”

*Sip*. (T/L:Something seeping out)

Did she regain her consciousness?

From the body of the screaming Sakura, several young girls began to drop and my gaze was nailed to them.

However the following scene was so repulsive that even I, who was a half-lolicon, tore off his gaze from young girls, and was taken back.

*Sip*

Something black burst out from Sakura’s body.

It gradually took on a metallic sheen and covered Sakura’s entire body.

The appearance of this was like-

[Lolicon slayer!?]

What the h**l is this?

What’s happening?

“How long are you going to sit around, Furuya-kun?”

In the scene where everyone was taken back, the first one to move was Kaede.

She threw me behind with her fluff beast tail and ran towards Sakura making will-o’-the-wisps in large quantities while the other two teammates of her and Exorcist began to form a barrier.

However,

“…”

Kaede’s will-o’-the-wisps try to restrain Sakura with numbers of advanced technique but they all were repelled by something like a barrier, unable to reach her who was swallowed down by jet black armor.

Kaede’s technique, which thrashed the lolicon slayer one sidedly yesterday didn’t work.

“The earlier playful voice and this absurd power…don’t tell me”

Kaede’s expression is distorted in shock and impatience.

“Uuuh…gahh…like this…with my power…”

Sakura’s muffled voice leaked out as black armor continued to swallow her down.

She continues to fight the strange power with all her will, making a pained expression while doing so.

“…”

I took off my bracelet almost reflexively.

Talking about the barrier around Sakura, the inspector’s barrier was climaxed by my hand.

However,

“Uuuuuuu!…why is this… completely…”

Sakura’s resistance was almost meaningless.

“N-!”

By the time my arms and eyes are going to become inhuman, Sakura will be completely swallowed by jet black armor.

I rushed out without waiting for my seal to come off completely.

“Sakura!!”

The eyes of the Sakura, which are about to be covered with jet black armor, are pointing straight at me-.

?

When Fumidori Sakura noticed her consciousness flying for a moment, she was wrapped in an unknown sensation.

Whether she wanted to or not, something black broke out from the depth of her soul, engulfing the whole of her body and her mind.

While being tossed around like a muddy stream of negative energy, Sakura instinctively tried to stop the monster’s erosion in the little consciousness that remained. But…

(What’s that…it’s not usual…mystery?)

The sensation of this mystery was quite different from what she has been taught.

A mystery is a spiritual phenomenon that arises from the distorted negative emotions of the host. It is said that no matter how abnormal and devastating the apparition is, the person who is engulfed by the apparition feels a sense of elation similar to euphoria.

It is often described as a feeling of anger, vengeance, or sentimentality.

However, what hit Sakura now was just an overwhelming torrent of unpleasant black emotions.

Far from euphoric feelings, it’s like she was tossed into the night’s sea.

Clearly it was different from the usual mystery. But still…

(I will do something about it with my power..)

She doesn’t think she will be able to suppress the monster completely. However, she can delay the monsterization, even if only a little, and reduce the burden on Kaede and the others

Thinking about that, Sakura desperately tried to activate technique in the midst of her rapidly fading consciousness, but…

“Uuuuuuu!…why is this…completely…”

Resistance was completely meaningless.

Her body and mind were being swallowed up by the black torrent, and she was becoming less and less her own.

It was only then that an overwhelming fear struck Sakura’s heart.

A monstrosity that had developed unknown best to everyone, against which no resistance techniques could work.

In the ever-shrinking field of vision, Kuzunoha kaede was struggling to cope with the situation and could not do anything about it.

She wondered what would happen to her if she was swallowed by this monster?

Will she be able to return to human form?

Before she knew it, she had a long sword in my hand.

It wasn’t a naive mystery that only turned people into lolicons.

This is a mystery that kills people.

“No…”

“Sakura!”

What entered into Sakura’s vision was a young man who rushed out to her with a desperate expression.

Her decision to never rely on anyone. Her decision to never be spoiled. And then, she raised her power.

Because she hates to be a young maiden that needs to be protected, because she wanted to help the person she cared about.

However, as Sakura’s consciousness faded under the fear of being taken into a deep, bottomless darkness, words leaked out of her mouth almost of their own accord.

“I don’t want it…help…”

?

“-Help me, Oniichan…”

“…”

The moment Sakura screamed and I extended my hand.

The face of the Sakura was covered by an Western looking armored helmet, unable to be seen-

The giant, almost exceeding the three meter in height, called out to the young girls from the surrounding with an inorganic face and in an instant, vanished into the thin air.

“What the h**l is going on here, dammit!”

Just after I could only swear at the sudden series of events.

[It’s terrible, Furuya-kun]

I received a phone call from the Soya who was supposed to be searching for and protecting loliconisation people.

[A large number of lolicon makers have begun to appear in Harugahara…it would be awful for the lolicon slayer to appear at this timing!]

When I received the call from Soya, I started to move around restlessly.

In my whole body, head and heart, I feel like they are going to burn off.

“-Help me, Onii-chan.”

Because the voice and expression of my terrified sister is burned into my mind and I can’t get rid of it.

Volume 2, Chapter 14: There's no tomorrow for a l*licon, Part 3

-

Ka, Kaede apologized!?

Nevertheless, I have no idea what Kaede is feeling responsible for. I’m scared.

What is it? Is it possible that I’m about to go through something worse than death ……?

As I was trembling with so much fear, the huge door that appeared in front of my eyes opened soundlessly.

[…………]

Followed by an intimidating torrent of spiritual power. Multiple gazes that seem to cast some kind of spell on me just by glaring at me.

The inspection department to which the many people from <<Ancient families>> belong. Among them, the executive committee of the inspection department which held the most talented person was dominated by abnormally heavy and cold air.

[The three hundred and sixty images you have seen above were collected mainly from a site called “Beautiful Young girls Club”. Next, the defendant’s smartphone had downloaded “l*licon Go!”, a game that uses location-based services and has vile contents that can only be thought of as a way to train criminals to collect young girls on the street for sweets and pocket money. From these data, it can be inferred that the defendant’s preferred type is a nine-year-old, dark-haired, bright and straightforward type, and there is no doubt that he is a l*licon.]

……S**t……just kill me.

I was standing in the middle of a space that reminded me of a large courtroom, and my heart was already broken to pieces.

After I escaped, it seemed that the computer and phone in my room had been confiscated, and the contents had been completely analyzed already.

It was a slim middle-aged man who was pushing me to the bottom of h**l by presenting the data in an indifferent manner. He looked like the picture of seriousness, with his suit, glasses, and hair styled with hair gel.

In a courtroom where there was no judge, he took the lead in the trial.

Kaede was on the sideline and explained to me that he is the right hand of the director of the inspection department. He is from one of the distinguished families <<Oni no Tataraba2>> and is said to be quite a skilled person.

All of my l*licon itinerary was narrated from the mouth of such a Tataraba. (T/N : Just like Kuzunoha’s family or Soya’s family, Tataraba is also a surname. As it said Tataraba is also a one of old families)

It’s not my intention to collect them, it’s the result of being transformed into a l*licon because of that little girl, no matter how much I recited it in my heart cold sweat didn’t stop flowing.

When the demon of Tataraba disclosed my browsing history, my armpits started sweating! when he disclosed my search history, the area between my legs started sweating! I’m covered in sweat all over my body and I’m on the verge of dehydration.

It’s harder than dying………

There are multiple cavities on the wall of the Courtroom that can accommodate one person each. On the other side obstructed by the bamboo curtains, a group of inspectors from the Distinguished family is staring at us.

Because of the curtain, I can’t see them from here, but I can tell that they’re looking at me like I’m a s*x offender.

[Also, as previously reported, he has the power to eliminate Rank 6 cursed spirits and on top of that, this ability is accompanied by the sexual climax of the target, which is unbelievable. In addition, there are many testimonies that in the noon time, the l*licon slayer was aiming at him in the Taima academy. There is no mistake in the information so far, right? Fumidori Sakura?]

[………..yes]

The one who replied in a small voice was Sakura, who had been lying face down in frustration since the trial began. Maybe she was protecting me for a long time, but the mental humiliation of having my sexual disposition listed in a solemn gathering of powerful people made her feel uncomfortable that she can’t bring herself to look at me….

After disclosing all the information, Tataraba looked over the whole courtroom,

[From the above, there is no doubt that the accused is a l*licon with an extraordinary obscene ability. The thinking of the inspection department is that we should semi permanently imprison him under a tight seal.]

Just how strict you are on a l*licon!?

I have heard that it’s a trial to determine guilt, but I haven’t heard that they’re going to skip all the details and sentence me to life in prison!

[All those in favour, raise your hands!]

The people behind the curtain are raising their hands at an alarming rate!

[………!]

Looking at the situation, Sakura stood up with terrific momentum. However a quiet voice resounded in the courtroom before Sakura could even say anything.

[There is message from my grandmother before you can decide on vote]

It was Kaede, who was standing still beside me.

[……..what about chairman?]

[She wants to use Furuya Haruhisa as bait to make sure the Mysterious l*licon slayer is down]

[Does this mean that Kuzunoha will protect him?]

[He has utility value, that’s what it mean]

Tataraba and Kaede gazes collided in mid air.

[The l*licon slayer has the ability of instantaneous movement. This is not only used to attack l*licon, but also to escape from Exorcist. This means that to get rid of the l*licon slayer, you need to use the l*licon as bait and then kill him with a single blow, and I can’t think there’s anyone beside him who is more suitable for this task]

Kaede treats me like a natural born l*licon. Well, I can’t deny anything since I was once targeted by a l*licon slayer.

[The number of personnel needed will be minimal if we make a strategy centered around him. It’s also possible to get rid of l*licon slayer secretly without the public’s attention.

I think it would be a loss to the entire association to send such a talented person to jail so carelessly.]

[I recognise his usefulness. After all, he has the ability to eliminate a Rank 6 curse spirit with a single strike. However I think letting him loose for that reason is extremely risky.]

The tone of Tataraba’s voice turned stern.

And then he once again presented the 2-D Loli images from computer and smartphone.

Please stop it already!!

[The data that was exchanged with him showed that his collection of images of infants began only a few days ago. And before that, he hadn’t been collecting that kind of stuff, which is unusual for a high school boy of his age. As a male myself, I have to say that this change is too drastic]

I feel like my head is about to boil from being analyzed so seriously about my sexual life.

However, that boiling head was immediately cooled down by Tataraba’s next word.

[This sudden distortion of his sexuality and increase in sexual desire. Can you prove that this is not a sign of the worsening of the curse that resides in his arm?]

Worsening of curse? This arm?

Why is the increase in sexual desire and l*liconlization is attributed to the Climax Exorcism.

[It is currently suspected that there is a mystery behind the people suddenly turning l*licon and his incredible sexual desire, that’s why it is urgently decided to proceed with the investigation by Kuzunoha.]

[I asked you if you can prove it! I don’t want to hear such nonsense!]

Tataraba’s angry voice reverberated.

And Kaede took the sudden rage as “as expected”.

[Since you are asking about proof, you can’t prove whether or not his curse is what you assume it is at this time.]

[……….indeed, it is.The inspection department also performed a thorough diagnosis of him, but could only see that his abilities were due to a mysterious curse tool……. That’s why it’s so frightening. We need to be on maximum alert.]

What on earth do these guys know?

[So the inspection department is punishing an innocent Exorcist, who will be helpful in eliminating the monster that is detrimental to the entire association, without any charges?]

[The only way you can be sure of his innocence is if the monster that turns people into pedophiles actually exists. No, supposing if that mystery exists, then it’s the case where the defendant was unable to resist and subjected to brainwashing. In fact, that’s the truth as he’s probably the lowest-ranking student at the Taima Academy all year. But the problem is that the the owner of the power that can eliminate a Rank 6 Cursed Spirit with a single blow, an obscene ability that is accompanied by sexual climax, is so dangerously incompetent.]

[I admit that it is a lost power3, but psychic abilities are unstable and distorted from the beginning and that is why Exorcists work as a team to compensate for their shortcomings. Are you forgetting that principle?]

Leaving the perplexing me behind, the argument continued in stalemate.

But Kaede seemed to be pushing the argument a bit, and as I was beginning to think that if things continue as they were, the guilty verdict might be settled to a slightly better conclusion.

[Really, You aren’t getting at the point]

[…………!?]

T/N :

1.Changing distinguished families into ancient families. Well, another option is old families, but I think ancient looks better in reading.
