Vol 1 Chapter 11 (2/2)

Iya~ I did such a stupid thing. Nahahahahahaha. Hahaha…

“Ah, no, I’m not a suspicious guy. Hey, is this the road?” (Shuten)

“To put on a magic resistant Kinagais.h.i.+…No, what is that Oni…?! In its body it has a high magical defense otherwise…is such a thing even possible…?!!” (Imperial)

“Eh, is that so? There is even a magical defense in my body?” (Shuten)

“D, Don’t come over!!” (Imperial) (「く、くるなぁ！！」)

Aah, I’m nervous.

I wonder what to do about this situation. It’s my first time to have heard about a natural magic defense in my body, but I’m afraid to test it, so let’s end this here. I don’t think it will be easy, but what else can I do?

I’m close to the reaction of the pearl piece and want to go retrieve it quickly…but it would be annoying if they chase after me.

A dubious group dressed in black surrounding a demon wearing blue. “No, no, it is a demon after all!! It is the enemy of our Empire’s magic! Shoot!!” (Imperial Captain)

“Uottototo!?” (Shuten) (TL: the sound for basically being caught off guard, or losing balance, that kind of thing)

At that same time the surrounding group exceeding ten people attacked from many angles. Flying bullets of flame and water whips are indeed difficult to respond to when spears grow from the ground at the same time.

Ho, yeah, well, haha!

At the moment I am reminded of dodgeball when you are the last remaining person. But you know me, it’s times like these when I s.h.i.+ne best in cla.s.s.

No, let’s forget about my previous life. It just makes me sad.

“aaaaAim Properlyyyyyyy!!” (Imperial Captain)

The human who seemed to be the captain signaled them to intensify the attack. I s.h.i.+ed away from being hit because it looks painful, but I also think this will surely increase my visual acuity and bodily response. No, I don’t have to answer when asked why I avoid them, but it seems for now I will be relying on the Demon Slayer for a while.

I wonder if it was because I took my time, but as soon as I heard a commotion as if from enemy reinforcements.

Ah- Geez, no more please?

And at that time I placed my hand on the Demon Slayer

All of a sudden flames break through the surroundings. The power of it was enough to instantly turn a person into charcoal. As I still didn’t know what had happened, the blackened men fell like rags. The flames ran, spreading out gradually as it caught up to and killed the people from the Academy.

…Well, I guess it is that. It is fox fire.

“Thanks, you saved me.” (Shuten)

“…I didn’t see you asking for help.” (Nine-tails)

A silver girl leapt down from somewhere to land lightly in front of me. Her fluffy nine tails fell to the ground according to natural gravity. Unlike when we met yesterday, she is dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Academy.

“What are those clothes?” (Shuten)

“Because I cannot stay in clothes made with magical power forever, I changed them. So…” (Nine-tails)

What an awful kind of tribe to be created in. (なんて奴だ。裸族を一人生み出すなんて。

TL: sorry, don’t know on this. Mostly built this sentence from context and merging these sentences)

Once she cut off her words, she continued to look around in amazement.

“Did you also obtain information on them?” (Nine-tails)

“No? I wondered. But I don’t know.” (Shuten)

“Just because you say so doesn’t mean we are the same. You see, I could not ignore a man I owe dying right in front of me. I just thought this was a good way to repay my debt.” (Nine-tails)

“Thanks~ Thanks~” (Shuten)

“You’re a crazy man.” (Nine-tails)

She says so in amazement, wondering why she is acquainted with such a thing. That’s too harsh, tears are coming out.

“Didn’t you go to the Empire?” (Shuten)

“If you want me to say, then first tell me why you came here?” (Nine-tails)

“I have a purpose in this forest.” (Shuten)

“…alright. I tried to go, but who are these guys?” (Nine-tails)

“Oh, the Imperial Academy from the present era.” (Shuten)

“Imperial…Academy?” (Nine-tails)

Most likely I was hindered by the people from the Imperial Academy. Right now these are small fry that can be incinerated like kindling, but there is still a stronger guy coming from the Imperial Academy. That is one from the boss cla.s.s.

“The Imperial Academy is the special forces organization originally founded by the emperor, made to work behind the scenes to create a glorious history by any means for the Empire apparently.” (Shuten)

“tsu…! The emperor who founded it was probably not Talos V…!” (Nine-tails)

“Who is Talos-san?” (Shuten)

“…I was stupid to have listened to you.” (Nine-tails)

Her facial expression changed into a grim one, and then turning back around she leapt away.

Well, whenever I see her irritated face, I wonder what kind of acquaintance she had. Does fate have something to do with it? (何か因縁でもあるのか)

Or, the Emperor really was seduced by her charm, which shook the country under his influence or something like that.

No way.
