Hakai No Miko Volume 2 Chapter 9 Part2 (1/2)
“What's this guy doing here?”
Bararak, entering the large tent where the clan chief conference will be taking place, blurts this out as soon as he sees Souma already present and accoly advised by Garam in advance to stay silent until he's introduced, Sou Getting the signal, Garauest It's not like inviting a guest to the conference to listen to their opinion poses a probleree, right?”
In response to his objection that suggested a huu and Shunpa speak up together at once
“In my position as clan chief of the Claw Clan I approve of Sir Souest”
“As representative of the Eye Clan's Priestess Head I accept the attendance of Soma Kisaki”
‘With the representatives of the other two clans giving their consent, it will bear noeven if I were to object byit either I just wanted to point out the rule”
After spitting out a sharp retort that almost sounded like an excuse, Bararak sits doith a thuether with the other warriors of the Mane Clan, was the only one to apologize to Souathered, right? —Let's start the clan chief conference then”
Making sure of Bararak having sat down, Gara of the conference
However, just when he was about to state the conference's topics, Bararak suddenly cut in,
“Wait, 《Ferocious Fang》”
Garam, who had the wind taken out of his sails, turns a questioning look at Bararak At that Bararak said with a triuathered here are all clan chiefs responsible for their own clans There are no differences in standing between fellow clan chiefs But it's custo on such occasions”
Certainly, just as Bararak says, such a custom does exist And the clan chiefs present in this place are Bararak, Gara the you will take control over this conference?”
As expected, even for Garam it's impossible to hide the displeasure in his voice
“Indeed —Well, it's troublesome, so it's not like I really want to do it But after all, it's a custom It can't be helped”
Even while such words left his ly
In contrast to that, Zurgu and Garaht up until that point under ain the plains Now being told that the conference where they talk about the future of said plains will be presided over by Bararak, who not only refused to appear on the battlefield hi reinforcements, it would be natural for them to lose their cool
To put it frankly, those words of Bararak are aggravating
Even Shunpa places a hand on her right cheek and tilts her head slightly, obviously bewildered
“Skip the fooling around Putting aside the matter with the equality of fellow clan chiefs, 《Ferocious Fang》 holds the rank of Great Clan Chief What are you talking about while disregarding that?”
Zurgu, who couldn't suppress his anger towards Bararak to begin with, co his words
However, having waited for those words, Bararak grins broadly
“Yes That, that”
Bararak, proudly speaking to everyone as they looked at him with puzzled expressions, said,
“Is it really the truth that 《Ferocious Fang》 has been declared as Great Clan Chief?”
Due to that sudden statement by Bararak, the venue becomes noisy
“Do you reain the approval of all clan chiefs of the five clans living in the plains, and receive the blessing of the Eye Clan's Head Priestess But not only hasn't 《Ferocious Fang》 received the blessing of the Head Priestess, I was only infor Great Clan Chief after the fact In other words, he hasn't obtained the approval of the Mane Clan's chief, which is me”
The majority of those present looked at Bararak with reproach, wondering why he was even bringing this up this late In the first place, it was Bararak who acted slowly even after others had requested for his aid many times For that reason Gara the approval of Banuka, as sent forth as the Mane's clan chief representative
To put that in doubt now that the situation has developed this far can even be regarded as Bararak picking a fight
“However, your son Banuka has given his consent”
Garaaze towards Banuka for just an instant Responding to that, Bararak clearly declares,
“Banuka isn't the clan chief It's me”
However, this causes Banuka, who made the decision as the clan chief representative, completely lose face Banuka casted his face doard in shame behind Bararak
As if to bloay the unpleasant u bluntly said,
“No matter what kind of nonsense you spew at this point, it won't change the fact of 《Ferocious Fang》 being the Great Clan Chief!”
Bararak sniffs at that
Even Bararak was plenty aware that his own renizes Garam as Great Clan Chief here, Garam's influence will increase That will equal to a decline in his own influence, leading to a disadvantage in the distribution of clan territory thathe couldn't accept at all as the chief of his clan
That's why he denied Garane that it will be opposed, but as unexpected for Bararak was Zurgu's response Even though it had been said until now that Garau was now supporting Gara, and even turned his anger towards hiht be expected, even Bararak hadn't foreseen that development
I don't know just what has happened between the two, but this is a bad situation Thinking that, Bararak decides to drive a verbal wedge between the two
“Well, well, how surprising I certainly never expected for you, 《Mad Claho's known for his un》”
Bararak provokes Zurgu in an exaggeratedly surprisedlike this, there's likely no way for Zurgu, who's faance, to stand up for Garam in the same manner as he did until now
The provocation was said with this inled around the nose by Bararak
“Very well, Bararak!—”
Zurgu slaps his own knee once, bares his fangs and shows a ferocious su throws all bargaining out of theand immediately jumps to the final 》 as the Great Clan Chief and fought according to Sir Soh by actually crossing 》 are present Let's go with a Clan War Ritual while the two of them act as witnesses!”
Bararak is terribly scared to death
A in the Solbiant Plains, it's the Fang Clan and the Claw Clan who are said to excel in battle Right now the Fang Clan was ainst the hu clan not inferior to anyone
But, even back then Bararak would have probably made sure to avoid a battle with the Claw Clan, if he was forced between fighting one of the two
Both are warlike clans, but contrary to the Fang Clan's trait of valuing honor, the Claw Clan puts i able to create a co as you respect their honor, the Claw Clan will never withdraw fro results To say nothing of 《Mad Claw》 Kraga Bigana Zurgu's mercilessness which Bararak has heard aboutto ith that bunch
“Wait, wait! I have no intention to fight against a fellow clan!”
Bararak denied the war in a hurry, but that resulted in hi even more calamity upon hiainst this me?”
At thatwithin the tent
Even though he's sier due to the inti air around him
Garam was told by shi+shul, “Uncle has mellowed down,” but that's far froe, can't suppress his fur tensely standing on end fro present in this place Much less to talk about the easily conjecturable eu
A duel with Zurgu, said to rival Garaest Warrior of the Plains, is no ized in a hurry
“No I didn't say it with that in mind! I-I went too far Sorry”
The bloodlust that surged out of Zurgu's body subsided and the heavy ath in relief
A a puppy aith a casual attitude, which made it apparent that he had already lost interest
“Then get lost at once The talks we have to tackle won't get anywhere with so present”
“—Wh!? I'm the clan chief of the Mane Clan! What's your idea behind calling hed scornfully at Bararak who has half-risen to his feet in a fluster
“Isn't that only natural? Who were the ones to regain the plains? It's our Clan Alliance that accepted 《Ferocious Fang》 as Great Clan Chief and welconized 《Ferocious Fang》 as the Great Clan Chief In other words, the Mane Clan, which hasn't participated in the Clan Alliance, has no right to speak in this conference where ill decide the territory of the plains we took back while risking our lives, right?”
“B-But, starting with my son Banuka, our warriors have joined the battles, too!”
The panicked Bararak protests, but Zurgu fluently says with an overly serious expression,
“Yeah! Even though they hadn't obtained their clan chief's per their life for the cause held up by our Clan Alliance Isn't that a most admirable disposition? You can truly call theratitude We shall give theu narrows his re eye sadistically
“The plains' domain is a matter of the clans If the clan chief, who acts as the representative of the clan, has nothing to do with it, it cannot be helped, don't you think? Well, this is a truly regrettable situation, isn't it?”
Even if they are clan chiefs of equal standing, Bararak, as ridiculed by Zurgu – a fledgling in Bararak's eyes – up to this point, grinds his teeth in hu that any more of this would be bad, Garam interjected tore become sulky However, in the shadow of his body – invisible to Bararak – he lightly waved his hand towards Garau'shim, “I stirred up the pot, I leave the rest to you,” Garam says towards Bararak,
“Sir Bararak, I knew that you haven't recognized ed by the necessity to unify the strength of all warriors, it was an eency measure we carried out due to necessity”
Gara up his body out of sha decision without waiting for your reply because he understood that as well It's nificently accomplished his duty as your representative with his resolute decision”
Unable to object, also because he was saved froation, Bararak can only reeable response of “Y-Yea”
“And what should one think of a person who throay another person, whonized at some point in time, even if only as representative?”
Gara it as a bad plan to aggravate matters any further, Bararak had no choice but to approve of Garam as Great Clan Chief with a look that should be called extre on airs
“Let's start the clan chief conference once again then”
As expected, Bararak didn't interrupt Gara this time
“I'm pretty sure that the territory distribution is theoff his words for a moment at that part, Gara that, I want to talk about the treat back the plains”
A s the warriors aited behind their respective clan chief due to that Doubtlessly, they expected that the talks would be about the distribution of territory at the foreu and Shunpa had already been informed about this matter, both loudly say “No objection”
And then, with a slight delay, Bararak also accepted the motion with a “No objection,” but his face was obviously clouded with discontent Bararak had easily seen through Gara the distribution of territory that will be carried out after this as a shi+eld, he probably plans to push through the position of that huuest by himself
Therefore Bararak beat Garam to the punch before he could broach the topic
“I don't have any probleuest of the zoan”
Having placed the Mane Clan in a so diverted from his own intentions, Bararak sche a lenient attitude towards Sou Bararak, Gara to have So, you say!?”
Bararak screamed hysterically
◆◇◆◇◆
———- End of Part 1 ———-
Slightly before the conference began, Gara with a heavy voice to the people ould be taking a lead in the conference
“I want to discuss with all of you on hoe are going to treat So suddenly confronted with himself as the topic, Souma is taken aback Because he didn't even experience any inconveniences so far, he didn't understand why they had to expressly discuss his own treats as they are right now?”
“That's definitely no option”
Gara tone, Souma and Shyemul look at each other Neither of them comprehended what made Garam worry so much
That was the sa Shunpa, the younger sister of the Eye Clan's Head Priestess, Kraga Bunuka shi+shul of the Claw Clan, who serves as Gara Bararak to his tent
Yet only Zurgu donned a difficult expression while having his arms folded
Garam plainly explained to everyone,
“Certainly, I'm the Great Clan Chief Once it co all zoan warriors If there's a quarrel between clans, I will also be able to reance, but I can promise that I will do my work as Great Clan Chief without the need to feel ashahtly clenched his fists which he had placed on his knees
“—That's all I'e of self-
“We were able to drive away Holive up I'm sure there will be another war in a distant future These plains are truly about to be sed by the huge overn these plains fro the destination of that maelstrom's flow and deal with it
But, if you allow race; the situation, into which the plains have been placed by now, goes beyond what so”
Everyone becos est hero, as he reveals his uess that lared at by shi+shul Zurgu hurriedly defended hilare
“Let me tell you first, but it's the sa an enemy in front of my eyes, I can do that as ht a huuess ould be the best way to go about it”
