Chapter 56 (1/2)

The Shaman can't become a Hero

Act 5: Worst Harem Party

Chapter 56: Revolt

Author’s preface (paraphrased):

So it’s about last chapter where he apparently wasn’t very accurate with the location and things and has since thes are pretty obvious now I’ll slightly paraphrase what he says here:

1 Mei-chan and Kenzaki’s duel happens in a different place from the current fairy square and with only two of them there

2 It’s not the place where they fought the Armor Bear

3 Souma Sakura and Class Rep were on standby at the square and were not at the duel location

4 Kotarou, Natsukawa Minami and Takanashi+ Kotori were all also at the fairy square, fast asleep, and didn’t know about the duel

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?”

And, with the usual Takanashi+-san screa hurry

“UAAhh!? What, enemies, where!?”

I keep restlessly looking around, but there’s no ht It’s the same old fairy square, and the not so sa on the side of the fountain opposite to our girl’s area, where the denizens are currentlya racket They say even three ency-y feeling The biggest noise came from Takanashi+-san, but Class Rep and Natsukawa-san also had similar reactions

Yeah, so’s definitely up

“Uh happen here? Everyone alri—”

I attempted to ask calmly, but those words froze solid in my mouth when I saw that

“Ah, Kotarou-kun I did it see, I had a duel with Kenzaki-san and won!”

Now she’ll listen to every word you say, she happily declares the girl’s slave status, but her words kept going into one ear and out the other

Mei-chan sported a jolly s of trash

Grabbed by the nape, the girl’s limbs were powerlessly spread asunder They didn’t even twitch, as if she was already a corpse What’s worse, she looked so awful, you could call her a victiruesome ultra-violence

Her face was beaten to a pulp In more precise terms, co beaten black and blue, and had devolved into a swellingleft of her, Kenzaki Asuna’s beautiful, dignified visage

“Ah, Asuna no”

“God, how horrible”

I’ the drastic change in Kenzaki-san, Souma-san and Class Rep were the same Natsukawa-san and Takanashi+-san couldn’t even voice out They were just huddled together, shaking like a pair of small animals

“What is it, so the matter? Ah, I bet you’re worried about Kenzaki-san? Ahaha, relax relax, she’s just a little fainted is all—”

With a cute Ei, Mei-chan lopped Kenzaki-san’s body as if she was throwing away an e not a hu, but an object

The girl’s body rolled like a piece of bulky garbage, and stopped right around Souma-san’s feet

“Here you go, Sou her”

Sou at Kenzaki-san and didn’t seeic Does she not understand the situation? Or is it that she can’t bear to believe this atrociously disfigured girl is actually her close friend?

“— Kenzaki-san!”

Snap out of it woman Kenzaki-san is in a dire condition If we don’t do soht end up with pere too

She probably had her face pummeled over and over And not by just anyone, but by Mei-chan ields a pair of ferocious Berserker fists I bet I wouldn’t last even one of those punches

I ran towards Kenzaki-san’sout one of the palm-sized sacks of Ointment A, that I had prepared beforehand, from my pocket

Upon closer inspection, Jesus, this is worse than I thought I kind of want to look away But it looks like she’s breathing, and I got a pulse from her wrist too She looks plain dead from the outside, but like Mei-chan reported, she’s only unconscious

But that clearly doesn’t mean we can relax I shove my hand into the sack and, with a solid chunk of oint fro it on her face

“Souic, quickly!”

“Eh, Uh”

“Just do it before too late! Do you want her face to have lifelong scars!?”

After she got back to her senses froether her hands as if praying, and began a ic incantation that I couldn’t quite hear

“Please let this heal her— Healing Light!!”

A faint, gentle radiance envelops itself around Kenzaki-san’s head And, as to be expected fro wells down right before our eyes, and for now, her face regains a state where you can at least look at it without wincing

But it’s a fact that Healing Light will only temporarily reverse injuries, so I need to use ic wears off, her scars will coht back up Full recovery should take a bit of time, that is, if ood in less than a day

“Haaah”

Having finished all the treath, and very nervously, raise my head to look at Mei-chan

“Huh? K-Kotarou-kun?”

Her face is what I could describe as bewildered Honestly, I’d describe my face the same

Having seen Kenzaki-san roughed up to such a degree didn’t o, “Ahaha, serves you, violent bitch!”, in fact, it didn’tso horrible I can tell that er

“The hell did you do this for!”

This is the first thing I need to ask If I heard her right, it was so a duel with Kenzaki-san and then so said duel I have no idea how, and in what possible way, this could come about

“Eh, huh, whut You’re not, happy?”

“’Course I’m not happy!!”

“Ah, Uh for your sake, and Kotarou, kun, sorry”

shi+t, I got ih

I don’t see the gist of what she’s saying Was my reaction that wierd for her? I ade, but don’t tell irl beaten to the point of breaking for such a small reason?

Ah, fuck it There’s way too ht at all Mei-chan looks like she’s gonna cry, no wait, there’s already tears for’s a damn mess

Like seriously, I’m the one ants to cry Mei-chan one-sidedly beat up Kenzaki-san This whole situation is going in a direction where the dae in our party-member relations will become completely irreparable

“I get it, it’s fine, it’s alright Mei-chan Don’t worry You don’t have to force yourself to explain, so relax”

“B-but, but I I just, wanted to Uuu”

Man, this reeon, wait, fuck, I gotta stay focused on reality now Anyway, I gotta knohat happened, or else I wouldn’t kno to deal with it

“Uhm, so Class Rep, you knohat happened?”

“ Right, I’ll explain Momokawa-kun”

“Wait! No, Ifor Kotarou-kun and—”

“It’s alright, I know that, so don’t worry okay, Mei-chan? And you did it for ht? So thanks”

It seerab onto Class Rep any moment now, so I quickly took Mei-chan’s hands myself I hold onto those fair, slender hands that you wouldn’t iine can punch a hole into an Arot a bit excited holding a girl’s hands This is pathetic

“K-Kotarou-kun”

Ulti, and while I console her saying that it’s okay, I turnher testimony of the truth

“Sorry If I only knew it’d turn out like this, I should’ve stopped theht up the duel was actually Asuna—”

Fro

How they were also discussing that they should decide on a leader How Mei-chan then entered the fray and fervently declared that I be the one truly deserving the title

Hohen they were thinking her opinion also had so she wouldn’t obey anyone weaker than herself and what not What prideful warrior are you pretending to be here? I wanted to retort, but knowing Kenzaki Asuna, she’s the type of person who’d totally say that[1]

(TN: I wanted to paraphrase the retort into What are you, Vegeta? but I refrained lol

)

As for what happened after, I could call it one side bringing on the heat, and the other side bringing their own Mei-chan was like, Then I’ll just win and s with a duel Kenzaki-san then went out with her, full of confidence— which leads us to now

“Jesus you, can’t make this shi+t up”

I can only sigh The story is just too nonsensical It’s so damn hot-blooded, you’d think they’re characters in a battle azines On top of that, you got girls doing this shi+t Literally makes no sense

Like, fights between girls, aren’t thosethu them with a bucketfull of water when they enter the toilet, or like, spreading rus that are 10 physical and 90 psychological daht? Then how come it’s one hundred frickin’ percent physical here!

“I feel so terrible about this I kneouldn’t end well, but despite that I should’ve just stopped them, whatever it took”

“No Class Rep, don’t take it as your own responsibility”
